>The "clinton email" scandal you put into sweet quotation marks has emails that nicely explain it all as it was happening.

I never actually put that into "sweet quotation marks."

What you're describing is a systemic problem affecting both the right and the left in the US - each is alienating and radicalizing the other.

>She is THE "devil". She is the epitome of what's wrong with your politics. She is a sellout, she fucked Bernie with a giant cactus (A man who I was so rooting for). She is so despicable that she was unable to beat Trump, who you could tell after 15 minutes of the debate has no fucking clue.

The problem is that Hillary Clinton was the only possible choice out of two valid choices - I wanted to vote for Bernie but I didn't have the option because, among other reasons, the DNC decided a Jew wouldn't be able to carry the south. The problem is also that many Trump supporters don't seem to care that he has no clue. It's as if the right wing is Caligula and they elected a horse President just to see the look on the faces of the Washington elites when he takes a shit on the oval office floor.

You want to talk about being disassociated from reality? I'm from a predominantly Republican and right-wing state that took the conspiracy theories about Jade Helm seriously enough that they mobilized the national guard just in case Obama really was massing globalist shock troops ready to take over the state and start killing Christians and patriots.

I spent the entire election cycle listening to arguments about Hillary's kill count, how Hillary dealt arms to terrorists, how Hillary ran a child sex ring, how Hillary secretly had a brain disease, how Hillary kidnapped a guy and had him tied up in her basement, how Hillary engaged in macabre satanic rituals, how Hillary controlled the media, literally the entire media, but almost nothing about her actual policies and why they were wrong from a political point of view.

No one is willing to concede that reasonable people can disagree anymore - that is the problem with our politics. Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are just symptoms - the tumors, but not the cancer.

The American left may be condescending and pandering but the American right has become utterly unhinged, and if Trump is really the best answer they can come up with to address their grievances then as far as I'm concerned they deserve to be marginalized.

Look, I'm not American, but why would they foresake a state because of the state's predominant Voting habits?

1 in 3 voted Republican, are they going to be thrown to the wolves because of the other 2 ?

I know Chris Christie is implicated in blocking traffic in New Jersey, but punishing a state is a whole different league.
"type" simply defines a synonym. You use it similarly to how you'd use a typedef in C. You don't need to convert anything, it just gives a more meaningful name to an existing type.
> I can say that speed of sound in water is constant

It's not constant. It varies by temperature.

This is why you're getting down voted. You're asserting a very minority view in physics as a certainty, while making sweeping statements that contradict a high school physics education.

You are placing way too much weight on youtube videos of excited oil droplet propagation. Your lay understanding of these videos is not equivalent to the consensus of people who dedicate their entire lives to these topics.
Given the quality of security in most companies we'll all know it before they do.
I think he would choose julia. The loop unrolling in octave is unbearably slow.
They accounted for everything they could think of an that the experimental setup allowed to. It is still very much more likely that they missed at least one source of error than that our understanding of physics is wrong in such a serious way. Not that it is totally impossible that the effect is real, it just is still very, very unlikely.
* It exploits some kind of bug in our matrix-like simulation that is supposed to have conservation of energy and momentum by design
Maybe subjugation would be a less hyperbolic, more accurate term. Attempted, mind you. And by a small minority of people.
Interesting, I hadn't heard about that theory of HIV transmission. Do you think that having appropriate IgA secretions in the female genital tract might decrease initial infections?
If you're prototyping and exploring, most likely you're not going to need to fix that code anyways, so it would be a waste of time (unless you're already efficient with Haskell dev).

I'm a big believer in exploring problem spaces with loose, flexible tools that let you get to the point ASAP and ignore unrelated stuff. If you're then going to build a long-lived, high-availability production system, then take what you learned and harden your design using tools built for long-lived, high-availability production systems (e.g. static typing, formal methods, etc.).
Fascinating read. Makes me wonder what today's black hats are up to because there's no way that Google got rid of all of them.
I think you misunderstand. Tenure is usually granted to people with a (sometimes minor) track record of their ideas working out. Essentially it amounts to a bet on things to come, or IOW of "is person X a crank or not?". This, of course, is also tied to the field in which they are working, etc.

(Sure, some good researchers turn into cranks later in life[1], but usually in a different -- often unrelated -- field.)

[1] Nobel prize winners often succumb to this, sadly.
That isn't your take so much as the take people use to inconsiderately explain it all away on the daily.
Yes, it's a very common design that many switching building incorporated in that era. They're all over Canada as well.
Google is not a tier 1 provider, there are only 6 of them.

Putting traffic into a tier 1 network costs, taking it pays.

A massive surge from Googles hardware onto the tier 1 networks will be very, very expensive.

Last time it came up was as the BitTorrent protocol started blowing up ISPs that couldn't pay the bills.

>~75% of it's income comes from membership dues and individual contributions

...and the largest individual contributions come from individuals like Larry Potterfield, founder and CEO of retailer of guess what?

>What do you base this claim on?

The number of gun clubs run by the NRA that demand membership as a prerequisite for joining and the fact that 75% of gun owners support mandatory gun checks but the group ostensibly representing them does not.
No, speculation and arguing for something are fundamentally different.

Also, theorizing an entity beyond our understanding is fundamentally different from theorizing an entity beyond our universe.

> you'll absorb the most power at exactly the time you don't want to be changing your momentum

Thanks for doing the math. But I'm still confused, I thought you do want to accelerate when near the sun, as that makes the far end of the orbit go further? Again, no math behind, just how it worked in KSP :)

> As a Muslim American

Well this is kinda contradicting. Are you Tunisian or American?

If I were american ( I'm not ) I would probably either fight against a law in a democratic way ( elections, groups, protests, etc. ) or obey it.

Leaving a country, because you don't agree with a law is not a significant reason for me.
> "We must secure a future for white children" is like "I hacked a bank". It's intrinsically racist.

I agree, and by the same token, any statement of the form, "We must secure a future for [skin color] children," is intrinsically racist as well. Some people think that, for certain values of skin color, certain kinds of racism are legitimate, but that's another matter--the fact remains that it's racist.
1) Rice Cooker, which can double as a slow cooker and bread baker. A second bowl and lid for it is handy, but not essential.

2) Large toasted sandwich press, which can cook all sorts of things include browning roasts, frying steak, eggs, bacon, make naan bread etc etc. I have even done excellent butterfly leg of lamb and flat chicken on my sandwich maker. We call ours the UCD (Universal Cooking Device).

3) Electric kettle.

That should do you for 99% of what you might want to do if you are a little creative.

Microwave is handy, but not essential if you are prepared to be a little more patient with thawing etc.
Can you explain what events that you saw referenced in the video that happened after Oct 16?

I'm not seeing it.
> Staying for layoffs sucks.

Depends on the country. I've heard about people who made little fortunes being laid off. The most lucky one got laid off twice after long tenures at two different companies (due to the companies closing sites in the country or something like that).
Linux 4.9 Is Showing Some Performance Improvements
This is a question of virtue versus pleasure which is much explored by the Stoics because a contemporary, competing movement was Epicureanism, which extolled pleasure.

OP is referring, however, to the "life hack" promoted by the article's author which suggests keeping our baseline low so that we are constantly surprised to the upside.
> Doesn't mean it's broken.

That is your opinion. I know quite a few people, both natives and otherwise, who'd heartily disagree with it. :)
Fay Dowker Public Lecture – Spacetime Atoms and the Unity of Physics [video]
Zuckerberg's list of books is one of the best I've encountered. Every one of his books opens up your mind to a different view of the world.

Think you a understand what it means to be human because you are one. Read Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind by Yuval Noah Harari to expand your view

Want to get a layman's understanding of the human genome. Read Genome: The Autobiography of a Species in 23 Chapters.

You think that technical writing needs to be dry to get to the point. Read On Immunity: An Inoculation by Eula Biss. Beautiful writing yet informative and to the point.

After I read the books in this list I obtained new respect for the man and his view of the world.
Ping Pong is a great 13 episode series. Seems to be available on Funimations site - http://www.funimation.com/shows/ping-pong-the-animation/vide.... Also on Hulu Plus.
Right, cannons were never that large.
Short answer: Yes.
It's true that you'll get your money back, but it's still a pain for the consumer since this isn't an optional recall. They're shutting down the servers that enable the client-side apps, so the Peaks won't sync anymore. This means consumers have to deal with the hassle of returning the unit and move to another platform, after taking the time to move to this one.
That's unjustified equivocation, IMO. You're arguing that the probabilities are somehow "equal" (or at least of comparable magnitude), but I don't think that's even remotely the case.

Don't get me wrong! It's very worrying that we haven't heard anything from him. I think a simpler explanation is simply that he's been killed and that "they" are waiting for enough time to pass for either: 1) everyone to 'forget' his importance, or 2) to control the 'narrative' enough that "we" will hate him regardless.

EDIT: If he has been permanently incapacitated, I'd hope that he has staged a series of increasingly disruptive DMSes over, say, a few decades. I'm guessing there was enough data in some of the leaks for that.
I would use Stripe, just because I trust them way more than PayPal and the conditions are slightly better. There's Stripe Checkout (https://stripe.com/docs/checkout/tutorial), it's not much more effort than a PayPal button (unless you're using it like a donate button).

Whether it looks professional or not depends on your clientele. If your service is good, whether you're using Stripe or PayPal doesn't matter. I'll need some convincing to put my card details into forms from other providers though.

Propellant*-free. You still need energy.
I think the interaction human brain + modern tech stimulation is a giant trend in human society and evolution. Tech stimulation SIMULATES interaction with another person, but without all the actual effort and risk exposure to interacting with another person. Humans prefer the simulation, and since the entirety of human society is presaged on humans interacting with one another, the complete proliferation of constant electronic stimulation in human societies does not bode well for the continued functioning of society.

I wish Apple just updated the hardware in their machines more, as they did before Cook.

Sure, Intel has somewhat been the limiting factor here, but if you look at the Xeon E5-2697v2 in the 12-core Mac Pro, today you can get the Xeon E5-2697v4 with 18 cores and about the same power usage.

For the Mac mini, the last big upgrade was actually a downgrade if you wanted power. The 2012 Quad Core i7 Mac mini was actually a pretty powerful machine; about double as fast than even the best-specced Mini today (you can't get a 4 core Mini anymore). That's pretty mind-boggling.

I get that if you want to run a miniature data center with RAID, multiple graphics- and PCI cards and terabytes of of RAM under your desk, none of Apple's current offerings will suit you, and honestly that's fine. That's when you move away from 5K video editing to a real, actual data center for your computing needs.
The questions are asked by an Ecuadorian prosecutor and was supplied by Swedish prosecutors earlier. The Swedish prosecutor and a Swedish police is present at the hearing and is allowed to ask Assange to clarify his answers but not to ask any new ones. A DNA sample will be taken if Assange agrees to it. Ecuador has not permitted Assange's lawyer to be present against Asssange's wishes.

Who knew Ecuador wasn't an ideal country for human rights? Is it possibly even worse than Great Britain and Sweden?

In Sweden, we have had numerous incidents where fake news has been spread with the purpose of spreading anti-immigrant sentiment. A recent example is a rumour stating that we had banned christmas decorations as it might offend muslim immigrants. What actually happened was that the Swedish Transport Administration had urged people not to decorate street poles as it might be a violation of our electricity laws. [0]

We haven't really figured out how to address these issues. The best we've got now is an initiative by Metro called Viralgranskaren (~"viral post inspector") that debunks myths like these. [1] What I think needs to happen is for the education system to start putting a larger emphasis on skepticism and source criticism. These skills and qualities are crucial for a 21th century liberal democracy.

Tunisia allows Dual citizenship, afaik.
Given the author is posting the question, that implies he feels there is a significant challenge to launching with Stripe over PayPal.

While I agree Stripe has more than one edge over PayPal, and that Stripe isn't that complex to set up -- if getting launched is at stake then PayPal will do just fine. Learning how to set up Stripe can come later.
Montana has had the major fires in and around the park system. The trees that are left are still heavily affected by beetle blight.
You are exactly right about the pros and cons of Python. It is a general-purpose language that introduces frictions that paying for by around 1000 loc.

But MATLAB not perfect, it has spiky bits and traps for newbies. (And the feature that '' == matrix multiply != the multiplication you almost always want is one of those traps). Also students will* write complicated (perhaps overcomplicated) programs that expose MATLAB's limits.

So what about other languages designed for numerics? Would R be a better choice (I haven't used it). Or maybe a new language should be invented. After all Matlab might be easier overall, but it still has plenty of stupid spiky stuff. And I would count your multiplication example as one of the (milder) stupidities.
In the first minute of the video, he is asked about "this final week of the election campaign". Also, he refers to the following Podesta email that was released on October 10th, which is quite clearly more recent than 46 days.

This is nothing more than a silly conspiracy theory.

I see it more like us working on general intelligence instead of specific solutions. This however would require a benchmark to compare to, and Human intelligence is a reasonable one.
>There is not in fact a coherent "white culture". There are Irish Americans and there are Italian Americans and Polish Americans and Anglo-Americans and German-Americans, all with their own museums and parades and cultures. There is not much overlap between Irish culture and Italian culture: they don't eat the same foods, speak the same languages, or play the same music.

this is a little like saying "there is no han chinese culture" because it was largely an fabricated as an ethnicity for the purpose of national unity by the ccp in the mid-century. maybe historically 'white culture' wasn't a singular thing, but we have many decades of culture behind us now of people identifying primarily as white. my ancestors were scottish but i don't identify that way -- i'm a white dude, that's my lived experience in the american context. a lot of things i do, my speech patterns, many of my hobbies, are, maybe not exclusive, but perhaps more common among other white people -- i'd speculatively call that white culture.
Business units and companies sometimes cease to operate. It's less than ideal, but a fact of life all the same. In this case, they're doing so in a fashion that's as consumer-friendly as possible. I think it's more worthwhile to laud that, in hopes other IoT businesses will find it worth their effort to do likewise, than to fuss about something that can't be changed in any case. But of course that's just my view of the matter.
No kidding. I was in the San Juans in SW Colorado this summer, and the forests are absolutely decimated. Actually much worse than "decimated," since decimation only killed one in ten. See 'em soon before they burn, or come back in 50 years when they're all covered in aspens.
Ah yes, the transputer. Such an interesting, if somewhat flawed, concept. Inspired a lot of interesting things. Given how cheap small FPGAs are these days, you could easily build a transputer "board" which was probably faster and cheaper than the original boards were. Put together a few dozen and start writing parallel software for fun (and certainly no profit :-)

I would tend to agree in theory. Data is a very valuable thing that is necessary to improve beyond a certain point. Complete, unrestricted transparency of every facet of everything gives the data-wielders (humanity) unprecedented insight. It's also, however, a complete pipe dream only possible in a perfect world. Otherwise, some people will see the data in question, realize the immense power it holds, and do bad things.

Privacy is necessary because some people are dicks and constantly strive to get an advantage over others. Ideally, it's only a temporary solution until humanity can figure its shit out, whatever that would be. Until then, it's the only way to minimize oppression, which is the biggest risk to human development there is. So for now, RMS is right. There's just no way of getting rid of privacy that would not severely hurt.
Ancient greek stoicists didn't retreat from social duties. The core virtues of stoicism are the opposite of what you wrote.

They would take part on actions against injustices. But they would try to be guided by reason rather than emotions.

It probably varies depending upon your social circles. Plenty of North Americans repair and improvise, especially those not in dense urban areas. Americans may love their disposable consumer goods but I wouldn't write of their ability to adapt and improvise just yet!

I mentioned this elsewhere in this thread. I'm really interested to hear some context around it from someone who knows what they're talking about; to me, it's a more appealing explanation than "conservation of momentum is wrong" or "we're using the quantum vacuum as a tractive medium which is supposed to be impossible but whatever".
Not at all. I think how everyone wants to be shown respect is quite different. This would be an enormous problem if we didn't all have cell phones in our pockets and the ability to specify how we want to be treated.

For instance, if you stuck multiple cameras in my shower that were broadcast to everyone, I would ask that you not force my friends or family to see it (but if course if they wanted to, they could), and I'd ask that you not tell me what you think of the footage unless you're a dermatologist telling me about a worrisome new mole you noticed, or you're someone who notified a first responder because you noticed I just slipped and knocked myself unconscious and was starting to bleed to death, in which case I'd like to thank you. If you want to make me a part of a study, go nuts! If you want to jerk off to me, I'm flattered, but again, prolly don't want to hear about it (unless you're my type).

That's how you can respect me. I can specify it. We all can. There's probably multiple lists of things that large groups of us want in order to feel our shower footage was respected, and I could just click on one of them. I'm sure many of mine fall under the GoNutsButDon'tWantToHearAboutIt and MedicalAndScientificValue lists. So if you decide man, gotta have me some of that shower footage of Dave, by all means, but with this approach, knowledge comes with a measure of responsibility.

This is very unlike how it works today. If footage of you in the shower leaks, boy, that's that. Here comes the internets to tell you everything you never wanted to know about your genitalia...
Doh! I thought I was onto something when I read Bertrand Russell critise the Stoics and thought "Don't you get it fool! To them, life is like football: play hard, play fair, that's what counts".

And, as I should have expected, Adam Smith has anticipated us all. I find it pretty funny that Smith doesn't even get a mention in Russell's history of western philosophy.
