You mentioned that the end outcome of being on a registry is historically followed by extermination. If that is the case, how is the reason for being on that registry given of a difference of weight? There are also historical patterns for what happens following a weapons registry...and none of them are good.

Also, regarding the Asimov quote...I'd challenge you to think nothing is so black and white. If you believe one person is merely ignorant, that the summation of what they've experienced in their own life that created the way they see things is dismissable is worth less than your own...you may want to look a little deeper.

Even somebody cooking meth has a story and a reason that drove them to it. You might not like it. You might not find it justifiable...but it's that person's reality and if you're not willing to understand the perspective of a person you view as ignorant then you are feeding your own.
What claim?

This is my first comment on the topic. And I said nothing about whether AGW exists, or not.

What I -did- challenge is your assertion that "99% of academics don't agree [on AGW]". That was -your- claim.

> Why would someone down vote an opinion that they are okay with Java?

Paul Graham once said [1]:

I think it's ok to use the up and down
arrows to express agreement. Obviously
the uparrows aren't only for applauding
politeness, so it seems reasonable that
the downarrows aren't only for booing
rudeness.

It only becomes abuse when people resort
to karma bombing: downvoting a lot of

Interestingly, I've had the (very broad, over-generalized) hypothesis that the longer the period between publication dates, the better the quality tends to be. Cable news, with it's minute by minute updates, is the worst. Daily newspapers are better; weeklies better yet (The Economist); monthlies and journals are the best periodicals; and then books are best.

Of course, daily newspapers now update 24/7, weeklies are disappearing, and no theory holds universally.

I haven't heard it - I wish there was more. But I think it's dangerous and false to say it's all equivalent and no source is better and significantly more accurate than others.
Looking ahead to the next 20-30 years of warfare, I've often thought that despite the fun we're currently having with aerial drones, a lot of the real drone future is going to be with autonomous ground drones, because of their ability to carry more armor, shielding, etc., without having to literally carry it into the air. Our current conception of a "drone" is really hard to bring up to military spec once this sort of countermeasure becomes militarily common.

I don't mean that air-based drones will be useless, I just think they're going to see more constrained missions than we might currently be imagining. And I do mean just the common conception of drones... things arguably properly described as "autonomous planes" will continue to be important and will probably continue to grow both in importance and in physical size.

This is irresponsible conjecture. AWS has very strict privacy and data safe guards in place. There are a number of laws (particularly in the EU) that forbid such practices.

https://aws.amazon.com/compliance/data-privacy-faq/

The reason AWS is successful is because Amazon takes privacy and security seriously. Why does Netflix trust AWS when there's Prime Video? Because Netflix knows that they have legal recourse against Amazon if they tried to do anything underhanded. I suspect Amazon would quickly fire anyone who breached customer data.
I hope one day they offer an API for it so it can be used as part of a game like Microsoft Flight Simulator.
This seems like a problem that appears everywhere in science, not just in the case of economics. There is a known phenomena of science results agreeing with the organizations that fund the science, and this seems to be an extension to that.

Is there any good way to solve it that won't result in less valid science work getting funded?

Capping admin salaries makes a lot of sense. Maybe not at nurse level, but at doctor level for sure.

Capping doctor's salaries at $100,000 is probably a bad idea. Some cap might make sense, but definitely not $100,000.

$100,000 may sound like a lot, but keep in mind that US doctors take on a lot of debt -- both actual and in terms of opportunity cost. And they also take on a lot of personal risk up until the point where they become doctors. And sometimes even after thatn.

So you're not really saying that should make "around what a software dev makes". You're actually saying that doctors should make significantly less than your average software developer.

Driving smart and driven people away from medicine doesn't seem like a great idea.
Or Kotlin but that's not his argument. He's arguing for Java 8. I don't agree that Java 8 is really an acceptable modern language for development. IMO it's painful and god awful slow develop in compared to a host of better languages (Swift, Scala, Groovy, and C# all included but not limited to).
Most of economics is an intellectual veneer to justify politically motivated policy actions. The 'science' is seldom predictive, nor does it even attempt to be. It has more in common with augury.

This blurb, for instance, openly admits their expert opinions are for sale,

People will hire you because they know what testimony you will give,” said Robert Porter, an economist from Northwestern who has never testified on behalf of a corporation in an antitrust matter.'
Ok, it's another release so let me ask this again: can you manage .NET projects without dealing with an IDE like Visual Studio or MonoDevelop or whatever? And for whatever solution you recommend, do people actually use it in the wild or is it just a technical preview thing?

> I've used RoR before but for something like this performance could be an issue.

We should speak about numbers, Rails would handle any normal app without problems. I'm not a huge Rails fan but I know that its image is broken and everyone claims that's it's slow just because someone who really needed performance ( Twitter, Github etc.. ) said so.

We really should differ between 'normal apps' and huge apps.

So basically, Rails is totally fine for your project.

> Angular is a monster and that at least would give the entire MVC but seems to be on the decline and is not a friendly framework.

We are talking about angular1 ? If so, I don't think it's declining, I actually believe that lots of established companies would not start a project with angular2, simply because it just got released.

Angular1 is fine, I know quite a few people who started their projects 1-2 months ago using angular1, the only difference is now, that they try to keep it modular, for example they stay close to the recommended way of doing things, which makes upgrading to angular2 easier, they refer to the John Papa guide[0].

Because you asked which stack we would use:

I'd use the Play! Framework or Spring Boot, since there is more CRUD I'd probably use Spring boot, VueJs because I would not create a SPA but would extend functionality with some lightweight frontend framework, angular1 is too big, Vue seems right.

Postgresql, because Postgresql.

> Not really. Most historians base their history books on those who came before them. [...] Historical imbalances will persist without an attempt to counter them.

This is exactly where the problem is, but I do agree that the language is probably the primary issue.

> Most of the work of scientists and scholars from the Golden Age of Islam was unavailable in the West until much later so while much of it predated later Western developments, the later developments were still independent.

Firstly, their work was unavailable, but now it is available, and yet you don't see mainstream books on the history of science adding this newfound information in. By now, science historians probably know about the well-known Islamic scholars, which is why my theory is that they are willfully ignoring such work because of cultural, ideological, and religious differences.

Secondly, your point about later developments being independent is debatable. There are a number of prominent Muslim historians who argue that early Renaissance scientists used translated works from Muslim scholars without proper attribution. One such example is that Ibn al-Shatir's (https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Ibn_al-Shatir) mathematics was used by Copernicus.
> Very early on the Republican (and later, Trump) strategy was to discredit and bring suspicion to Clinton - enough so that people who would normally vote for her wouldn't show up. Remember that when Clinton was Secretary of State her approval ratings were above 60% and peaked at 66%. When it was rumored that she was going to be the only candidate fielded by the Democrats, the long discredit campaign began. You can see it in the gradual decrease of her likability from 2013 onward.

Which that is the standard strategy for running for office. Discredit your opponent. It goes both ways. Clinton tried many approaches (even some shady ones) to try to discredit Trump. She did a number on Bernie with the DNC's help.

Speaking of the discrediting, even Obama did a fantastic job discrediting Hillary. (Despite turning around and endorsing in this last election.)

PropTypes for one. And a lot of other little, "you did this but probably meant to do that" type of checks like when you use class instead of className.

Do you really think something like this:

Dictionary<string, Tuple<int, List<string>>> foo = new Dictionary<string, Tuple<int, List<string>>>();

Is prefferable to:

var foo = new Dictionary<string, Tuple<int, List<string>>>();

What do you get from the former that makes the eye-pain worth it?

Also, the var keyword is necessary for anonymous types if you want to hold a reference to one. And this is a language feature I sorely miss in Java-land.

> even high-powered hardware can take a "major" hit from a GC pause when your application is extremely latency sensitive.

That's true, but high-powered, abundant-RAM realtime applications can use approaches that are cheaper than Rust's. See, e.g., the interesting work currently being done updating realtime Java[1]. The idea is that memory is composed of a few kinds of lifetimes: eternal, scoped and GCed-heap. Scoped memory is basically nested arenas, and GCed heap contains objects that are used by non-realtime portions of the app (which, even in realtime systems, may comprise the majority of code, especially when the system runs on large servers).

An approach like Rust's, however, is crucial when the application is RAM and/or energy constrained.

I am beginning to think that Microsoft's bad verison naming is entirely on-purpose.

Windows has had terrible naming since NT -- back and forth between names/numbers/years (or nonsense like "Anniversary Update" or "R2"), have a completely different scheme for Server vs Desktop, and if you look at the corresponding kernel versions of these releases[0], the major/minor bump in versions seems completely arbitrary.

.NET is even worse. Framework vs CLR is a mess [1]. Core started over at 1.0. .NET Standard brings some consistency to it all, but also introduces another versioning scheme with overlapping numbers that mean different things[2].

But even other divisions do this: Xbox -> Xbox 360 -> Xbox One.

Twitter reserves the right to kick out whomever it feels violates their policy. As a corporate entity, they have that right.

One could have argued for that same premise for the "government" in the dark ages. At what point does an entity have to obtain enormous power over everyday life to become seen as a "government"? And at what point do we allow our basic lives to become so censored by corporations before we acknowledge it as hampering our first amendment?

There's no reason whatsoever that I should remember my ID. I haven't used the service in at least a decade, probably more. I'm often astonished at how the brain tucks away (apparently) useless information that comes to the surface via a chance stimulus. For me, such bits are sometimes many decades old and AFAIK unreferenced since being acquired. At these times I've thought to myself "there's absolutely zero reason this memory should still be in my head, it's insignificant and useless." I'd think the brain would have better uses for its limited storage, even for coldline data.
