ICQ brings back some memories. I think the last time I used ICQ was around '99. I was a little shit (14-years-old) and messing around with Sub7 and writing my own client/server tools in Delphi. I was literally just spamming random people after school with either the Sub7 server or my own little tools and screwing with their computers. The "Matrix Screen" always freaked people out.

It's also worth pointing out that the vowel sound of "oo" was basically the first vowel to shift in the Great Vowel Shift. So the spelling "doodoo" would have had its modern pronunciation as far back as the first claimed mention (an unsubstantiated claim in 1630s that the Portuguese found it in 1507), let alone when it was first credibly discovered (by the Dutch in 1598) or first mentioned in English (1628).

Interestingly enough, the Wikipedia page also suggests that the birds weren't found to be particularly appetizing.

I'm familiar with some of his statements, but I can't claim to know them all.

Could you please refer me to where he said that 'all climate change science is a hoax'? I would agree that would be a factually incorrect statement though I could not find anything where he said that. My interpretation of what I've read from what Trump has said, is that Trump believes that Climate Change Alarmists (from his perspective) utilize it to for political/policy reasons beyond the purely environmental reasons that they claim.
That's a lot of anecdotal evidence, and it doesn't properly discredit my claim in my opinion.

I'm reading _Religions of Iran_[1] right now and getting a lot out of it. I think the reason Iran doesn't get talked about is simply because it's too complex and it doesn't boil down nicely. In addition to Zoroastrianism (the surviving type seems to be an entirely different branch from the one that was at one point a state religion), there have been huge numbers of Jews, Christians and Buddhists(!), to say nothing about religions that appeared and disappeared (Mithraism, Manichaeism) and tiny religions that were once larger (Mandaenism) or little ethnic religions that still exist in small pockets (Yezidism, etc.) Sometimes, the rulers were religiously tolerant; other times they were not. Even when they were not, they document their difficulties homogenizing the population; Iranians are apparently private enough about these things that they can exist as undercurrents for hundreds of years or longer. This, on top of the fact that there have been several Iranian empires over the millenia.

The author of the book is surprised it hasn't been studied in more depth, and I agree with him. It's a very interesting place.

Sorry? That article doesn't contain your quote and has no information that was given off the record as far as I can see?

Claiming that an interview done by NYT vs something leaked to the media requires the same protocol is also quite a stretch.

Anyways, the quote you include is from something completely different and not about the 'locker room' talk : http://publiceditor.blogs.nytimes.com/2016/03/02/trumps-off-...
The actual story differentiates between "short term" partners (think 1 night stands, hookups) vs "long term" mate (think husband / wife / long term boyfriend / girlfriend ).

I understood it to say that Jerks / Bad Boys / Narcissists also have a lot of sexual partners, but only for a short period, whereas the "Nice Guys" / Atruistic people have more sexual partners also, but for a longer term / time frame.

Did I interpret this incorrectly? If not, a more apt title is "Altruistic People Have More Long Term Sexual Partners"

I don't mean to suggest that IBM is more prone to such things than other companies; I'm using them as an example of what has happened in the past. Currently many companies, and I don't know if IBM is included, help dicatorships oppress their own citizens by building the systems and assisting in surveillance.

Rometty doesn't address issues of liberty or diversity in her letter. Offering to work with a man who has openly promoted prejudice and who has given an ally of white nationalists a high-level position in the White House, but not mentioning these issues, I believe is a failure of hers and IBM's obligations as leaders in society. The message they send is: It's ok to overlook these things and continue business as usual.

Imagine if Rometty had said: 'IBM remains committed to diversity and to the freedom of all Americans in our great country.'

I don't think I saw any concrete structures when I was in Afghanistan. We used Hesco bastion for everything. I think even the furthest-back hospital was just sheet steel siding construction, surrounded by Hesco.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hesco_bastion

Hesco is another very interesting material. Cheap, extremely light and easy to deploy, until filled, which can be done by anyone with an entrenching tool (small infantry shovel/spade that everyone carries) if required, and then basically indestructible.

How many of those concrete walls can a helicopter carry? One? It's going to take a long time to build any wall or structure. Or do you send an armoured cement mixer and create on-site? That's not realistic in a place like Afghanistan.

I'm not an engineer but I would also guess that Hesco survives better - a box of stones can lift up and crash back down with an explosion where if concrete cracks it's permanently broken.

> $250 million and $350 million this year, according to those documents.

That's pretty impressive but is it a sustainable source of income?

Seems like this socio-consumer space is extremely volatile. Facebook & Twitter was the last platform I interacted with....3 years ago. Haven't even used instgram, vine, now snap chat. The fact that billions of dollars were spent buying out instagram, whatsapp, I wonder how facebook is aiming to make back all that cash expenditure. Linkedin barely gets a pass because it's enterprisey and Microsoft validated by buying it out.

Take my view with a grain of salt as I consider these social networking type of websites our generation's "cigarette" -everyone is doing it and nobody wants to stop and examine it's impact on the quality of your life.

I guess when everybody is around me is so concerned with the avatar version of themselves online and how they think they are perceived, therein emerges a divergence of values and attitude towards such mediums and the type of personalities it generates that leaks into real life (which I steer away from).

> I was speaking strictly to the form the Electoral College supports our representative republic in that we don't directly vote for President, we vote for representatives who vote for our president.

The President is an elected head of state and government, a characteristic of a representative republic, whether he is directly or indirectly elected.

> There is such thing as a representative democracy

Yes, representative republics are a subset of representative democracies (Constitutional monarchies are usually also representative democracies, though not republics, because monarchy.)

> That is where the majority always wins.

No, democracy doesn't mean "the majority always wins", and the distinction you are trying to make between representative republics and representative democracies is not what those terms actually mean.
So....refuse to work for any of these companies backed by a guy who correctly chose the winning horse in the election?
I actually bought Diaspora and Axiomatic while still within the first few chapters of Permutation City because I liked it so much. That was on the tail end of a sci-fi binge though, and I haven't read Diaspora yet, or much sci-fi since. Next time I feel like it though, I know I've got a very good backlog waiting for me.

Oh I agree with you. It is just that the dam busters raid was such a powerful propaganda piece - "English ingenuity over the Evil Empire" type thing, and I truly do admire the technical skills and bravery involved in the whole raid.

But the downvotes that my comment above (and no doubt this one) gets just exacerbates the whitewashing of Allied atrocities during WWII. Case in point:

"Bomber command lost nearly 50% of their crew during WWII" - "Oh dear that is terrible tragedy - upvotes for you, my friend for pointing out this invaluable fact."

"Lots of German civilians were killed in the floods after the Dambuster raid" - "Meh, who cares? Cost of war. Downvoted. NEXT!"
> More of "the kids aren't alright!" reporting they love to do to scare parents and elderly folks.

Sadly this is one of those topics, like violence in video games, where we don't get beyond this cycle of "accuse and deny". Which is a shame because IMO there are really important topics here we need to address collectively such as how this connects to addiction http://www.paulgraham.com/addiction.html

The "data point" I've been able to confirm with other parents of small kids (under 10) is there is a connection between extended periods of computer-aided escapism and aggression.

The experiment you can try with most kids is give them a smartphone or iPad for 1-2 hours then take it away again with minimal warning but without using force. Once you've recovered the device, the next 15-30 minutes will typically involve aggressive behaviour; shouting, physical aggression towards siblings, demands to have the device back and something not unlike Gollum desiring his Precious.

Based on my own experiences, adults can exhibit similar behaviour but extremes are dampened by conditioning, so harder to detect e.g it manifests itself in different ways e.g. sadness or depression instead of aggression.

My hypothesis for this is something like 'For every 15 minutes given to a medium capable of 'fully absorbing' human attention (books, computer games VR), 5 minutes of "unconscious recovery time" will be required to re-align the attention to the current "real" reality, during which subjects may display behaviour such as aggression, sadness or general distractedness / fidgeting'

This ratio of 15 to 5 might be different depending on the medium e.g. VR might have a more accentuated ratio than reading a book.

Why this is so I can't say for sure, but it's something like a tax on time spent existing in a disconnected reality vs. the "real reality" our bodies live in.

This seems stupidly obvious (even as a very altruistic person in their mid-30s who has only had a single partner).

Good sex, in general, is about generosity. So those who are more generous are likely to be better at it, and those do more of it. I know there are many factors that could influence, but the basics seem obvious.
Perl has supported recursion in regex since around v5.10. The giant regex is not from the Camel book, but from O'Reilly's, Mastering Regular Expressions which does give the example in Perl, but was printed before v5.10 of Perl was released. (3rd ed. of Mastering Expressions was released in 2006; Perl v5.10 was released in 2006.). I believe the regex was published in the very first edition.

One thing in that comment that could be stronger is the connection between IBM's behavior then and now ("connect the dots" as a prominent commenter might say).

Hmm. I agree that the hatred towards Iran and Persians is horrible, and I love the Iranian people. And I agree that everything is inexpensive, and that it is a fantastic place to travel to. I'll definitely be going back.

But traveling there is actually somewhat difficult. Information online about the visa process is very hard to come by. Embassies will give you conflicting answers, and the Iranian embassy in the Hague hung up on me twice. I just came back from a visit to Iran and I have to say that seeing westerners is a rare sight, even in Tehran. Excluding Tehran Khomeini airport (where I saw maybe 10 western tourists), I can count the number of westerners I saw - the entire time I was there - on one hand.

Iran definitely doesn't have "many tourists" - they have fewer than Kazakhstan according to official figures. And the majority of these tourists are Iranian in some way, which is probably because you need an invitation from an Iranian to enter the country, and because if you don't speak Persian (or have a Iranian friend to accompany you) you're SOL.
I definitely hope that the new administration will drive some infrastructure spending, regardless of ideology.
