If you want viable third parties, you want multimember legislative districts with some kind of proportional representation, even if it's just STV in small (3-5 member) multimember districts, and not something drastic like Party List Proportional or MMP.

Playing around with single winner election methods may be useful for some purposes, but it's not how you really get additional viable parties.
There are lots of brilliant young women. It may have played a role but probably a minimal one.

What this does show is that the genders are also equal in their capacity to engage in this kind of asshattery.
Heh .. I'm 37, in tech and still struggling to make the downpayment. I wonder how many well-payed tech folks in their 30s are in a similar position where we are completely screwed for housing?
Don't get a false sense of security from that.
True critical thinking involves the frequent re-examination of one's starting premises in the light of new input. Every time I gain some new insight or information, I become that much more likely to question my basic assumptions about, well, anything. It is a great error, upon finding a demonstrably correct solution to a problem, to assume that its correctness is everlasting. If it later turns out that the conclusion was correctly reasoned from incomplete information, it is all too easy to reject new and contradictory information because it would invalidate the conclusion, even though the conclusion in question was drawn without access to the new information.
That thinking is how Trump won. sigh.

I agree with you btw.
No, I'm talking about all the columnists who openly refer to that 42% as traitors to their gender.

I did a Google search (ironic, I know) for "Trump traitor gender" and I couldn't find columnists referring to Trump-voting women as traitors to their gender. Maybe I didn't look hard enough, but I think this illustrates the sort of problem we are faced with
unfortunately most of our knowledge of the subject usually doesn't come as a result of sheer curiosity :( I already had members of my extended family lost to the disease, and my father had piece of a lung removed and tumor in the second irradiated during the last year. My original comment in no way was intended as "cure all", more just about feasibility of another [may be easier on the body] technical implementation of early stages surgery and radiation procedures as well as for palliative surgeries at the late stages.
I am not sure how to interpret what you mean with 2)

I agree that facts impact voters, but thats not really important. Whats important is which facts impact them.

I.e. the facts that a Trump voter cares about vs. the ones that a Hillary voter cares about.

I don't believe people voted based non-facts. They voted on the facts they know to be true and important to them.

I.e. I don't subscribe to some idea of a false consciousness.

Do we even have the technology? I know there are angioplasty lasers capable of vaporizing plague, but what you are referring to are tumors.

Even if we did, I imagine that there might be some health repercussion when burning such a large tissue mass, which is why we opt to surgically remove them.
Ayy lmao - is the only appropriate comment I can think of for this childish episode
I mean, in the primary example given, the bike lane already existed, they just upgraded it.

Personally I'd say it's more of a reaction to the often glacial pace of government action. Cities like SF, Seattle, and NYC have embraced Vision Zero's safety-oriented goals in theory, but are moving very slowly indeed to meet them.

These groups are actually helping the city meet their own self-imposed targets. How does that translate to "fuck democracy"? More like "fuck overly bureaucratic processes" if anything.
You thought that was cool? SethBling (of Super Mario World Credits Warp fame) did a single nested version of this (in Super Mario World, of course), where he reprogrammed the SNES to play Flappy Bird.

-_- Donald Trump called Mexicans rapists. The KKK endorses him, the American Nazi Party is stoked on him. Steven Bannon is going to be his "Strategist".

He's on tape talking about molesting women. Many women have come forward and accused him of trying to or having molested them.

Nobody thought of checking company registration records, press releases or how long the domain had been active? I mean, I get the main point and I know in practice very few people will go to those lengths for a random site, but given you were given a list known to contain false sites... well, checking for incorporation documents, street address registration and legal contact sounds time effective.
The irony that most people agree about "around-the-corner" dystopian futures but when you provide fact that we are already living in one you start seeing "conspiracy nut/paranoid/shadow-people" replies.

Many don't step out of mainstream lifestyles and so they don't see the rigid boundaries. Think Allegory of the Cave.
I didn't assume that. News bubbles give people a way to not be subjected to some external influence, which is not to say they are not subjected to any influence, it just makes a choice of which influence they are subjected to more random and different. Traditional media, on the other hand, being less bubbly and exposing everyone to their ideas favors money and gives unfair advantage to elites and not outsiders.
Personally I find this tone to be a part of the problem.

"Leftists" aren't saying anything proponents of the other party haven't said when their candidate loses.

The discussion at hand is about the imbalance in our election system as a whole. NOT this election.

There is ample data to suggest control of our government is not decided by the people put the parties. Gerrymandering and voter suppression are very real things. Both sides engage in it, but IMO the evidence suggests one party is "winning" more than the other because of it.

Candidates from outside these parties hardly have a voice thanks to these parties designing the rules around who is included.

That is a serious issue that's not being discussed on the whole.

Your comment is simply perpetuating the notion that things are fine and the other side is butt hurt. I somehow doubt in a world as complex as ours that's the easy answer. Especially when both sides are implicated by data that they're rigging the system.

It's not about a particular candidate for me. It's about a two party duopoly on our politics. If anyone wants to shake up the establishment, breaking that strangle hold is target. Not simply passing a baton to the candidate that appears more anti-establishment only for them to load up on pundits from an established party after the fact.

IMO the news media is only a system. The bigger issue has been here for years. It's our short term mentality when it comes to making decisions. Next quarter versus next year. Next election versus next generation.

This isn't a problem created by Twitter and 24/7 news. This has been going on since well before either existed. They've exacerbated it, but IMO the underlying issues are our deifying our economics. We don't talk about how to help each other directly. We just believe that growing our economy will magically make the world better.

No matter which side a player is on our system at the core right now is against the people. Not just us but our descendants. It's this short term vision of how to solve our problems (which usually means get the stock price up or some similar cold economic metric) and not about what's beneficial outside the bubble that is recent past and recent future.

IMO this is what the word "pwned" was meant to describe. When someone has not only exploited a machine, but has literally become it's master to such an extent that they are playing games at that point, abusing the original purpose of the console into this tormented, bastardized version to display memes from a twitch chat, or play a clone of a shitty phone game.
What's with the ageist discrimination? Old people are people too.

4 years of presidency is not going to sell anyone's future. The worst that will happen, not counting a nuclear war, is

1) more gas/oil/coal gets mined, driving the prices down, and making the renewables unattractive.

2) increased CO2 emissions due to cheaper gas/oil/coal.

3) make the rich richer, everyone else poorer, which has been happening for decades in the US

Neither of these are particularly scary, it just sets the humanity a few years back, but maybe will force us to come up with some technological solutions to fight CO2 and other climate change issues.

Stop being so alarmist, he won fair, it's his turn to drive the bus. I don't like him, but things don't always go our way.
Rights are privileges. Absent modern society, there are no rights. The strongest and the most influential make the rules.

The governing bodies that enforce these so-called inalienable rights are the ones that grant them as well, and it is up to them, and in many cases the people who comprise them, which rights are granted. Rights are not some absolute concept defined by Ayn Rand. They are an artifact of civilized society.

The property rights you describe are not as binary as you wish them to be.
Nothing in that article makes the case (there's a subhead which assumes it, but all the details talk about counties, not people.) With new voters coming of age, old voters dying, far less than 100% turnout so even of the people who could vote in both elections those who actually do might not be the same, counties can switch without people switching.

So, yeah, I'm sure there are some Obama/Trump voters, but I haven't seen a coherent case that there are a lot, just generous application of the fallacy of division.
And since they said that it uses 10-20% the water of a standard shower head...

A modern shower head uses about 2gpm, so we are talking about 0.2 to 0.4gpm. That would give us a pressure of about 7500 to 15000psi using your equation.
Your main argument is on point but you weaken it with "owned by those in power". Be careful the words you choose as these seem to land you somewhere on the wrong side of conspiracy-theorist/anti-corporate. I say this because if your goal is to affect swing votes, that phrase will push them away.
"better" is so arbitrary that I'm afraid it's pretty much "what does Evan-san want"
For the first point, it applies when releasing code other people will want to link to, such that the GPL would apply. It doesn't help with a standalone program that nobody wants to build on or derive from; you'd need the other cases for that.

I'm all for this kind of citizen action. They're volunteering their own time to improve public safety. Kind of like how neighborhood watch groups can supplement police, these volunteers are supplementing departments of transportation. Of course it'd be even better if they could do it without breaking the law, but I doubt there are rules in place to permit citizens to do their own DIY infrastructure improvements.

Also, unlike what some commenters think, this doesn't really go against democracy. The cities where these groups work have embraced Vision Zero at least on paper, so they're generally for these sorts of improvements. Government just tends to move slowly, and they often have to deal with NIMBY groups that are more concerned with keeping as many parking spaces as possible in their neighborhood than public safety.
Third option is to buy a "Signature Edition" [1][2] from the Microsoft Store (or participating retail stores such as some Best Buys and Staples, I think, if you ask nicely to someone that has the right sort of a clue). Microsoft's Signature Edition program expressly forbids selling the machine with anything more than a clean Windows install. It's definitely what I've started recommending anytime anyone mentions to me to be thinking about a new Windows computer.

Waterjet has a small kerf, typically 0.04 inches, or 1 mm. It can go even smaller with specialized setups (microjet).

The waterjet cutting stream automatically cools the material as it cuts, leaving heat treatment intact. Waterjets can also cut through material that would too hard to machine with ordinary metal tools, like hardened tool steel, stone, etc.

I have some more information on the Big Blue Saw website: https://www.bigbluesaw.com/faqs/parts/how-does-waterjet-cutt...

Pretty interesting - on the Dash blog in October[1], the developer said that open-source wouldn't be a great option because compiling iOS apps is difficult for most non-iOS developers.

It's a shame, IMO, that iOS apps only have two wide-distribution models: paid, with Apple, on the App Store, or open-source and, by that nature, free. There's a lot of really great software on OS X that is distributed outside the Mac App Store. Clearly there's no plan for something similar to that on iOS.

From a qualitative glance at the images, I believe I could come close to the same results with some basic filtering, like a gussian blur followed by a quantization to a smaller number of colors, then a little bit of blur.

The image of the horse head statue looks like an "oilify" effect.

Mind you, a pretty good oilify effect.

This filter is clearly useful independently of what it achieves in relation to what it "says on the box".

In creative image processing, I just have to like what it does, whatever that is (and I do).
The concept of ancient economics is very interesting to me. I wonder if anyone knows a good introductory lecture or short podcast or something that surveys the historical approaches to solving how to distribute money, the ethics driving the policies, etc?

Biking against traffic (even in a bike lane) is a bad idea. It forces someone into traffic, either the guy going the wrong way or a bicyclist going the correct way. It surprises pedestrians jaywalking and it surprises cars pulling out of parking spots both of whom assume they only need to look one way. It's just a bad idea all around.

Yea I always thought that was ironic. Because "right-wing" people keeps pointing out times where individuals get "triggered" by someone saying something. IE a person's feelings got hurt when someone made fun of them for something important to them.

If someone DARES point out that that comment was bigoted the "right-winged" person gets soooo triggered. I've watched whole you-tube videos of a guy being made someone called him racist after he said a racist thing... The right is a very angry place right now.

A lot of their headline features gimp the user experience in some way.

Touch screens on laptops means you have to customize the UI so that each element is large enough to be tapped by a finger. So either you have to hide features to make room for these larger elements or pack the screen edge to edge, leaving a pretty cluttered interface. I'd rather have a better touch pad for precise input and without having to lift my arm from the keyboard.

Packing gaming-class hardware into a laptop leaves you with pretty terrible battery life, weight and heating issues. Something has to give. The metrics manufacturers should consider when building a portable device is performance per watt and durability vs weight. You'll always be better off money and performance-wise building a desktop PC for gaming.

Apple went with class leading storage speeds, an adaptable touch interface that's integrated with the keyboard and doesn't mess with the system UI, brought touch ID with the secure enclave, made a much larger touch pad which was already class-leading, made a considerably brighter screen - aiding outdoor use. It's a strong refresh with a premium price-tag, but you know you're buying quality when buying Apple.

I approve of proportional representation. But I think a good single winner method should be sufficient to elect good representatives. That is, representatives that are the best possible compromise of all the different views of voters. Which should give roughly the same results as a proportional system.

And most positions are required to be single winner, like mayors, judges, sheriffs, governors, or the president. So it makes sense to focus on single winner systems first.
Doesn't this give the option for someone else to package it together, give it a new name, and then offer it for free on the App Store? If so, that could be a way around.

The waterjet is especially flexible compared to a milling machine. The small kerf means you can create smaller features. There's no need to change tools depending on the material type. Chips are automatically blasted into the catch tank, instead of accumulating on the workpiece. Waterjets also typically have a much larger workbed compared to a milling machine, so you can load an entire 4x8 foot sheet and cut a bunch of different parts, or one big part.

I think you're right, though. For occasional prototype parts you're probably better off either ordering waterjet cut parts from an online service, or running them in a small CNC milling machine.
