I partially agree with you, but sentience isn't the same as intelligence. From having had dogs I get the impression that most of them are every bit as sentient as I am.

There's also a large amount of speciesism involved in how we feel that's not concerned with intelligence or sentience. As an example, I can conceive of a scenario where someone with a severe learning disability might be less aware and less capable of abstract problem solving than some corvids are. That wouldn't affect my decision of which one to assist in a disaster.

Of course they use technology to observe and record normal and pathological "use". Do you think brain implants are made without using scanner, IRM...?

There isn't any contact info, your account is green (meaning shiny new) so this comment isn't related to your thread.

However I just wanted to compliment you on your seemingly boundless reserves of patience while still taking the time to respond to questions.

I've personally taken a silent stance on everything until I know enough to have a good discussion about things. It has been refreshing to read a perspective, your's, which I don't ever remember seeing before the vote.
> It's quite similar to the post-Brexit discussions, how pro-Bexit people are stupid, etc.

Except I didn't call voters stupid, I simply summarized what Trump said.

> We can talk about [...] It would probably be fine [...] But he's the President-elect.

Of course we can talk about it. We have freedom of speech (wasn't this the original point?). You mean to tell me he can say whatever he wants but I can't call him out because he's the president-elect?

I get it that everyone whats to prevent things from going worse but we shouldn't close our eyes or accept whatever Trump happens to say or do out of fear. He shouldn't be allowed to do whatever he wants because "we must be united". He should be called out and, if necessary held accountable.

In the rural US, it's reasonably common to bulldoze unused agricultural buildings like silos and barns (and old houses on the property) to reduce the property value and thus property taxes.

It's also somewhat common to fine owners of unused urban houses because they attract "transients" and cause other assorted problems.

Yet apparently the vote ratio was not that great for Clinton in those demographics either - apparently even 30% of non-white voters went Trump, and what I've seen it was only slightly in favor of Clinton in that demographic too

Again, what makes you think that the people didn't stay because they sure didn't want to vote for Clinton?

(Disclaimer :I am not an US citizen, I identify with Bernie)

I would have never voted for Clinton, even if you paid me.

Wow. Impressive recovery.
Well, for many of your examples I would say they fit both candidates, with small adjustments. So the only choice is to go with the one that currently states what the voters agree with.

I'm always fascinated that people don't realize that what one side says today the other side said yesterday.

It's not my country but this is the thing that grates most with me, the "act first and try and find legal justification afterwards". Officers of the law should really be seeking to act legally in the first place.

What you propose, companies creating a system of open reporting is fine by me, but doing it covertly is not. Enact laws allowing it and tell the public it's happening. That's the democratic way.
Out of curiosity, what's wrong with that line? Why is it slow?
As explained in a letter to the editor in The Wall Street Journal, a tax deductible bribe, the way the scam works is that someone at the trading firm violates the wall between the front and back offices. They place equal and opposite trades, and then prior to settlement, they assign their bribee the winning trade, and themselves the losing one, and the latter can be deducted against gains for the next few years.

And of course, if she wasn't the Governor's wife, but you of course implicitly acknowledge that. For that matter, it was also said that that sort of trading back then was dangerously leveraged for thinly capitalized neophytes, you could lose a lot more money than what you put into your trade. I seem to remember independently of this, that at worst case you could end up taking delivery of what you wagered on. Now, my family with 3 boys bought a half-side of beef at a time right at that time, but....
Depends on what you consider proof. I mean, the man himself said that he gropes women because he can. He said this in a private conversation without any knowledge of being recorded. I have not reason not believe his claim. Maybe he was blustering but I don't believe it. He's claimed to walk in on beauty contestants while they are naked. He didn't mind when Howard Stern referred to his daughter as a "piece of ass". The totality of what we know about Donald Trump is such that it takes a lot of mental gymnastics to believe that he has never groped women.
I've been hammering on this issue for a while.

While I can't stand Trump personally and many of the things he stands for, the fact is that the American left has enclosed itself in a small number of alpha cities (look at the county election map) and effectively written off the rest of the country.

The objective fact is that it is impossible for American industry to the American worker to compete with industry in countries with no EPA, no OSHA, no workers comp, no unions, an artificially low currency, and artificially depressed wages. This isn't about being globally "competitive." It's just not a fair fight. If this is the reality of globalization then it means the working class in developed nations is permanently relegated to poverty and dependence. The latter goes radically against these peoples' values. They don't want welfare. They want jobs.

Both liberals and old-guard conservatives have completely ignored this issue. Too many people are getting rich off labor arbitrage for one, but the more immediate reason is that it doesn't affect them very much. They tend to be urban, wealthy, and disconnected from the places and the people this issue does affect. Case in point: Orange County California (where I am sitting) is historically a Republican enclave but this year it went for Hillary. It's also very wealthy, educated, and fairly urban (and becoming more so). Meanwhile historically Democratic rural areas went Trump. You do the math.

You can't write off your entire working class and rural population in a democracy. This is the result.
The code is just easier to maintain and debug. Unicode (which is a HUGE deal for a french like me) is not the only thing that has been fixed in Python 3.

A lot of bugs disappear (the API is unified, division is true by default, imports are absolute), or are easier to detect (clear exception if you compare incompatible types, bytes are very explicit).

Many duplicate ways of doing things are removed (modules are renamed, builtins have been cleaned up), the syntax is terser (no more object in class, no more from __future__, super() has a shorthand, no more # coding, not more u'').

It's easier to write lower memory code (most things are generators by default, yield from allow to delegate to sub generator).

Creating clean library is also much easier. Now I'm playing with type hints, and yes, it does help to avoid bug. "raise from" makes error reporting much better. No relative imports make organizing code much easier.

Basically everytime I go back to Python 2, it feels like a pain. So many little things I didn't notice, take for granted, but that adds up quickly.

The worst being of course to code a 2/3 compatible code and to have to do things like: https://github.com/Tygs/ww/blob/master/src/ww/types.py. But I do it only for libs that I want to use specifically to help me migrating project (ww wraps everything the same way in 2 and 3, making migrating easier).

I look forward for 3.6 to introduce f-strings, which I will adopt asap because it's so convenient.

> so that makes it OK

How? This is your interpretation.

If you have a choice of two, you must pick one. You have to weight up the options. choosing one doesn't automatically mean endorsing it as the post possible choice, but just the better of the given options.
I was not disagreeing that it was a rational strategy to pull as much respectable support as possible away from Trump. It's defensible, but it has to be acknowledged that its downside was worsening the worst case: a president with no respectable support and without the opportunity to choose respectable advisers.

It would be best if Trump would choose respectable Republicans as advisers. I hope they are offering their services and he considers them without malice.

All we can do at this moment is try to make the best of it. That means giving him a chance to do things right. If he doesn't, we'll see soon enough.

This is hope speaking, not rational prediction.
Did they have her with an insurmountable lead, or did they have her with a decent lead still within the margin of error which got misinterpreted?

I'm starting to wonder if the overconfidence in a Clinton victory boils down to assuming that errors are independent when they really aren't. Specifically, did they assume swing states might go one way or the other individually, rather than that they might move as a block? There was a lot of talk about how there were a bunch of states that favored Clinton and she only needed to win one of them. Pulling numbers out of my rear end, if she had a 50% chance of winning each of 8 states, and she only needed one, you might assume her odds of winning the election are 99.6% (255 out of 256). But if they all swing together, then her odds of winning would only be 50%.
There's a smooth upgrade path via importing from `__future__`, but that doesn't help if you've been ignoring non-text data in your strings. The automatic 2to3 translators don't know what de/encoding you want to use.

Upgrading to 3 doesn't cause bugs, it reveals bugs that many people would rather brush under the rug.
Oh, I am sure they didn't last time I checked. Thank you.
These days, not so much. Also, the PHP ecosystem has really matured, and great best practices and standards have arisen. That all being said, people have moved on regardless.
Christians might see if as part of their religious identity, as an atheist it's not part of any religious identity to me, but I find it peculiar that people find that it could be offensive since it does not mean to me Christ Mass [and other non religious or people of other religions presumably would not see it as Christ Mass], but rather a seasonal greeting with historical religious roots --like many things in our lives.

Do we rebrand Halloween because of its pagan _religious_ historical context? Do we say, no no no more quinceaneras, that just promotes more patriarchal hegemony in a community which is characterized by patriarchy?
Making WiFi fast
In my opinion and to a first approximation, this is a bad idea. The technical experience gained in a person's first professional setting have a massive impact on a person's technical development over the course of their career. I think of Peter Norvig going to work for Margret Hamilton.

That's the other aspect. Working in an office expands one's professional network more usefully than remote work ever can...Norvig later went to NASA's Ames Research.

I'll put it another way. Being a new graduate means lacking the experience to make highly informed professional judgments. Recognizing that you're in that position is useful when considering making a radical career decision at the start of one's career. Don't kid yourself, choosing to work remote has a high probability of being seen as a negative trait in future hiring because it is hard to determine if it is a 'real' job. Remote work creates a deficit in social proof (alongside the deficit in social network and the experience deficit).

Finally, difficulty finding remote work is symptomatic of a weak professional network. If it's really a priority, then underpaying freelance work from the notorious freelance sites are where to start. If that's unattractive then, it's not a priority.

Good luck.

I have been using PHP for over a decade in my personal and professional life. I also use Python for some projects and I'm also learning Go. Every language has its strengths and weaknesses.

PHP 7.X is the latest release. It has some nice features like type hinting, major speedups to the core language, and a whole host of other things.

It still has many things that could be improved (no language is perfect), but I still use it for the back-end of most web sites/apps. It's been battle tested by many major sites and still gets the job done.

Many people hate PHP because it's cool to do so. New fad languages and frameworks aren't always the best thing for a new project. Especially when they haven't been thoroughly tested in a production environment.
This appears to be a common story. We ported a bunch of Python 2.7 to Go. The improvements in speed and memory consumption are outstanding.

But we will be upgrading a large code-base from 2.7 to 3.x. For things like web data aggregation and parsing, it is hard to beat Python; the tooling in that space is really good.

Definitely looking forward to some unicode pain alleviation from the rewrite.

> Ultimately, that's why the city is doing this; Whether the property is rented or owner-occupied, there will be a consumer who is adding to the economy.

No, the city is doing this to increase housing supply. We do in fact have a housing crisis in Vancouver, this isn't just political rhetoric. When I was looking for an apartment about a year and a half ago, it was impossible to find one on the open market. Every open house had dozens of people showing up. I was eventually able to get a place through a personal connection; 10000 more units on the market would have made the process a whole lot easier.

> But look at the last 15 years of foreign policy from "statesmen". We had two wars, Obama missed seeing the rise of ISIS, Syria is a humanitarian nightmare, we had a huge financial crash, and terrorism is on the rise.

There are factors in play here beyond the background of the US president; Global politics, foreign leaders, policies in other countries, civilian actions, etc. To say that the US president being a "statesman" caused all of those things is a massive leap in logic.

Just did some testing. Chrome stable 54.0.2840.59 on linux. Put on OP's extension from source and an extension of my own that was already in there. No issues. Then I packed both of them and installed them both packed, again no issues.

You're not crazy though, the internet seems to agree that there was an issue.

I was serious when I said I was sure some extra R&D would solve those problems.

> as stated this is a grossly inaccurate summary. On the whole the economy is doing radically better than it was during the recession in almost every way.

Your assuming "the whole economy" is an accurate measurement of how citizens finances are doing. But those two things are often not related in any way.

In my "flyover-Midwest" community, the stronger the economy does, the worse off real people's lives are here. "The economy" rewards companies whose profits go up and expenses go down. But in much of flyover America, "expenses" represents real people's paychecks, and "profits" represent real peoples bills.

Good jobs rarely come here. These folks don't own stocks or bonds. Many don't have retirement plans. Whenever the economy improves, all that really means here is "someone I know got fired today" or "the price of something I buy just got jacked up".

Just one example: Google claims GM's stock price is at it's highest peak for the entire year. Two days ago, GM laid off 2,000 people in Michigan and Ohio. Wealthy citizens (or "coastal elites") got taken care of nicely, but "rural" Americans who actually work for GM just got yet-another kick to the teeth.

> I recommend diving into BLS data yourself if you’re curious about particular regions, industries, etc.

This is where a lot of the "out of touch liberal ivory tower" insults come from. Telling people who work two jobs and still can't afford rent or childcare that "your wrong, my census data proves your doing just fine" is the kind of tone deaf communication that makes people desperate enough to elect a "human Molotov cocktail".

If your a person who's been suffering for years, and the choices are "just me and my neighbors keep getting screwed" or "everybody in the whole nation gets screwed", a lot of people will take that second option. I don't defend that decision, and it's certainly not the vote I cast. But I'm not so out of touch with my neighbors as to pretend it's unfathomable that so many people chose that.
Does it lead to less victims?

From all I have heard and read on the subject of sex crimes, the research and the government policy has nothing to do with each other. Worse, some feminist movements have successfully lobbied to prevent research on criminal sexual behavior, on the principle that deeming such behavior as abnormal will result in lower jail sentence for criminals.

Instead we have this abnormal-but-not-abnormal behavior happening "randomly" by totally "healthy" individuals, and there is very little to explain why it happens or how we can reduce it.
