Here's a couple of examples of how RCV might have played out if it was in effect for the 2016 election:

Scenario 1: Clinton, Sanders, and Trump are all running. Clinton and Sanders supporters assume Trump will lose. Clinton and Sanders spend most of their time attacking each other. Since supporters of Clinton and Sanders don't bother making a second pick (since they don't want to support their opponent, and assume Trump is going to lose anyway). Clinton and Sanders each get 32%, and Trump wins with 36%.

Scenario 2: Imagine a scenario where there are lots of candidates running. Something like the GOP and Democratic primaries this year, but everyone running in the general. Like this year, there are 5 candidates running on the left and 17 running on the right. Most voters aren't going to bother ranking all 22 candidates, and only rank 1-3. This causes the left to win simply because they have fewer candidates.

The thing is, many comments seem to assume that people would rationally rank all of their choices. But people don't really act like that. Some will, some will just pick their favorite, some will rank only the people they're familiar with, etc. The current system (with the primary acting as a run-off vote) allows people to reflect on new information (these are the top two candidates and this is what they believe) before making a choice. RCV seems to just kind of hope that people think about these things ahead of time (and people usually don't).
That terminology makes much more sense, especially the "spies" part.

Personally, I tend to think of stubs as being super basic. A stub class for me returns default values or throws NotImplemented or something as simple as possible. It doesn't maintain meaningful state. Mocks for me are generally simplified implementations like an in-memory store that replaces a DB. Frameworks like Moq have muddied my definition though because they call things mocks when they only return canned data. Building a real mock (fake) with real state using Moq tends to be a pain.
In the first video, Mr. Trump tucks in his chin, draws back his eyelids, and adopts a "retarded" tone of voice.

In the second video, Mr. Trump just moves his hands around a bit, as you say.

I had not seen the first video until now, and I am unfamiliar with the disabled reporter, but I concluded right away that he was embodying someone with a physical/mental disability -- something like Parkinson's or cerebral palsy.

If he was not, then Donald Trump has only himself to blame, for behaving in a misconstruable manner.
Quotients are often used to describe new behavior. You could reasonably say that this ought to define a new type, but it's still an example of a meaningful coarsening of equality.

For example, to define rational numbers using only integers you take a rational to be a pair (n, d) but with a new equality such that (1, 2) and (2, 4) are equated.
I'm of the uninformed opinion that any national election will probably have a Condorcet winner. IF that's true, then we could literally pick any Condorcet method, and just go with that.

Condorcet IRV seems a reasonable choice, in that it's relatively easy to explain to people (compare to beatpath, for example).

I think all the discussion about the merits of different methods is just so much bikeshedding. It might matter, but it's far more important to pick _something_ than to stick with plurality!

In that spirit, I am totally in support of Maine's choice to go with IRV, even with its warts.

This video is really neat and it seems like the promised plan is almost done.

Can you clarify at all what the plan is for supporting other container manager systems? I looked at Openshift and it doesn't look like something you can run on your own hardware. Maybe I am misunderstanding this though.

EDIT: I had spent my time looking at openshift.com and didn't notice that there is an open source version located at openshift.org. Sorry for the confusion.

I'm interested in using all the functionality shown in the video, but for a small team and on our own hardware. Maybe it doesn't make sense that way, any clarification would help!
Arguably it's a form of brain drain. The US imports a lot of graduate students who got a subsidized undergrad for cheap (or free!) at public universities in their home country.

I should know, I was one of them, and now I'm working and paying taxes in the US. Arguably a net loss to my home country :-P
You'd think someone in the chain of command would say, "what would this look like as a legal market? How much could we generate in taxes? Do these people really belong behind bars?"

A few questions I have:
* How many schools and hospitals could we fund from taxes?
* Could we redirect these users to hospitals or treatment facilities, and if we can't, so what?
* Could these agents be considered adrenaline junkies?

This cat and mouse game will have no end until they can tap into your brain stem and prevent you from committing these 'crimes' or modify your brain chemistry in a way that will make you not yearn for altering your conciousness. Either way, that's not a world I want to live in. How can we get the government to respect our right to put anything in our body that we want to? As long as it does not hurt others through the production or the consumption or harm the environment, I really don't understand the moral hard on people get from telling a group of people what they can and can't do.

I'm kind of rambling, but this is what comes to mind when I see these types of articles.

Why would it be of concern? I think mocks have a good place in unit tests. I generally believe the premise of unit tests is to test your code against specific pre-conditions. If those pre-conditions cannot be created in a unit testing environment then mocks are justified. I would, however, be very way of mocks moving past unit testing and into integration or system testing (or other varieties like failure injection testing, performance testing, etc.). Mocks have their uses & their limitations. Understanding that is key to using them well.
And structural equality is just a special (also arbitrary) kind of hash equality. You still have to specify what kind of structure you're comparing. The "structural equality" that you are referring to is vague not uniquely determined.

The OP is wrong.

The US _indirectly_ controls its corporations. It certainly forces its vassal companies to comply but does it by bartering public policy for private favors, by a revolving door of shared administration, by strategic alignment, and with monetary payouts.

Direct control is not something that the US government thinks is healthy to the long term efficiency of its power. It is much better to direct the ambitions and creativity of power aspirants to fulfill state objectives than it is to consume and directly run parts of industry.

For the layman in America there is hardly a difference in terms of opportunity or freedom between these two besides wild and fascinated imaginings that somehow, someday, they might wake up in this elite professional class of power broker - similar to the daydreams of poor people in pre-modern Europe simulating themselves as members of royal family.

This system of state-directed competition and macroeconomic investment ("dirigisme") was discovered in Europe around the 1920s, popularized by the Nazi Party in Germany, and adopted around the world by power hungry and competitive states that were looking for alternatives to the extremes of laizze faire and state-directed communism.

It would be cool if the OP has some examples of industries that were temporarily taken over by powerbrokers on K Street, but broadly - it isn't how the power relationship works in America.
> You could rewrite portions, fix portions, do extensions, and contribute back any of these to developer.

Contribute back to the developer yes but it gets real iffy if they don't accept your patches that you need. Also really depends on the licensing regarding rewriting and fixing portions. Depending on the platform you're using you may need to shove that into a repository for delivery of your customized version; is that type of distribution going to be allowed?

I didn't see an explicit "here's the license all of our stuff uses" unless I missed it but a lot of these use cases could be pretty difficult IMO.
Oh, I completely agree—I maintain a SAN and it's a royal pain in the ass.

But there are options, and a SAN has lower risk if your key is leaked (only the enumerated domains will validate).

By definition, that is not neutral.
Weapons in USA are a legal market, and there is some fallout as a result of that since guns will be more accessible to the wrong hands.
Sorry if I wasn't clear, I'm talking about substance use and abuse.
If it were difficult the US govt wouldn't be able to give weapons to friendly rebels around the world. Same with drugs, they are an easy source of income that doesn't need to be accounted for.

Well, a lot of it originated around street parking. When cars were becoming very popular and common, they would generally be parked on the street. Of course, since most street parking spaces were not metered (that is, free parking) this meant that parking was constantly scarce. Huge parking congestion, conflict over spaces, etcetera. Even where the parking was metered, the price was usually set too low (since it was owned by municipalities, with no incentive to maximize revenue). So street parking was still congested everywhere, but the straightforward solution of just raising the price of street parking was too unpopular for most cities.

This led, mostly post-1940s, to urban planners requiring homes, businesses and offices to have a minimum amount of parking. However, the way they usually determined the "appropriate minimum" was to estimate the maximum probable use: measuring the busiest day of the year at a shopping mall, or requiring one parking space per bedroom in a house, etcetera. This basically ensured that, no matter where you go, there's almost always parking available. However, this also means that most parking is never used. The secondary effect of this means that everything becomes surrounded by large amounts of parking, causing everything to be further apart, making driving much more appealing. Also, people become very accustomed to free parking, so anywhere that there is a parking shortage, they demand not better pricing, but more mandatory supply. In the US at least, you will typically only pay for parking in areas built before 1940.

But it's not necessarily US-centric. While the US tends to have the most extreme parking minimums, they're common all over the world, from England to Malaysia.
This is great, installed, thanks!

I'm genuinely curious what your thoughts are on the argument that criminals will break the law and obtain firearms illegally, regardless of the law.
Our rush service typically gets parts delivered to the customer within 3 days. Regular orders ship in 7-10 days.

As far as finding a shop that can take your order quickly, try a search for something like "waterjet cutting online ordering".

The Wazer's speed makes it difficult to get a part done in a single afternoon. As I mentioned elsewhere, you'd probably be better off with a small CNC milling machine. But do you really want to own either for only occasional use?
I think the screenshot tells a much more accurate story than the text. 120,000 listings for drugs, 1,900 for weapons, no main category for child porn. Based on the listings, the kinds of activity that actually go on would seem to be in reverse order from what the press release suggests. I'm struggling to imagine anyone leaving feedback about how potent a poison was or chatting away about their last 'cache of guns'. I could be wrong.

Definitely they are better than stupid banner ads and popups.
If you go that route, just get a laser cutter and use acrylic for prototypes.
Yeah we solved that problem in Chicago 
. We learned that criminals don't obey the law and the law abiding citizens have a difficult time obtaining the proper tools they need to protect themselves.
Just like neokya said, you just create a Python 2 virtualenv for deployment and a Python 3 one for development.

As someone that doesn't do any drugs, I'm all for drug legalization.

However, there needs to be limits. I should be able to fire someone that is high on the job, for instance. Driving a motor vehicle while under the influence should also be illegal.

'altering your conciousness' can directly harm the people around you and they have the right to not be harmed by your personal choices.

"How can we get the government to respect our right to put anything in our body that we want to?"

Another issue is health care: Should the government continue to pour tons of money into allowing you to kill yourself with drugs?

"I'm kind of rambling, but this is what comes to mind when I see these types of articles."

You never mention firearms, which is another primary business on the dark web. Are you also fine with anyone being able to buy a weapon at any time?
This talks a lot about drugs and weapons, but it says nothing about what I've heard is one of the most commonly-purchased dark-net commodities: fake over-21 American licenses. It's ridiculously easy to buy a fake ID online and have it shipped right to your door, from basically any state you want---even high security states like California and New York---and for relatively cheap too. I suppose that might be because several fake ID vendors will only sell ones that show an age between 21 and 25 and only sell to people in the US to deter law enforcement based on the idea they're only selling to teens for alcohol as opposed to allowing people to be smuggled into the country or other such things.

Though I have no personal experience with making purchases from darknet markets, I was curious about how easy it would actually be to get a fake ID after watching the movie Superbad. I was astounded at the wealth of information available to the benign Googler.

It's about 30-35lbs. It's kind of shaped like a bowling bag. It's not designed to strap on my back and go hiking, but to toss in the car. The MREs are pretty tiny and last about 5 years. We refresh them every now and again. Peace of mind doesn't cost all that much.
Github is so ubiquitous that they can't afford to move fast and break things like Gitlab can - another team at work considered moving to Gitlab to use all these new features, found bugs everywhere and eventually went back to Github.
Important issue. Glad it's being talked about and worked on.

A bit of a tangent, but I see the author in the comments and that he is at a VC now. Im not a founder or VC, but do have a Q: to what extent do you see common term sheet practices and current gov regulations causing issues for founders?

Clearly employee equity letters could be more fair, and I realize founders have opportunities to exit that later employees don't get. But to what extent are founders being educated on the risk/reward involved in starting a startup, taking VC funds and their term sheet implications? and are some founders pushing back or deciding not to take the risk of starting a startup at all?

Sometimes I wonder is Snowden was an orchestrated provocateur, tasked with dropping things in the open so that the operations that were big enough to be hindered by covert practices could now operate freely, in the open, and accelerate their programs.

15 or 20 years ago, an INTERPOL style coalition of this sort would have raised eyebrows. Snowden blew the lid open, and nothing changed. In fact things are taking shape faster, if (we know about them) at all.
I've looked at the examples of things they cut with that thing [0] and the amount of time and abrasive needed to cut even a single knife blade out of steel is quite shocking:

>Cut time: 118 min. | Abrasive used: 39 lb.

I presume this abrasive sand, garnet, is non-recyclable? Yikes!

Imagine how many bags of sand you'd need to cut a whole sheet of metal!

I also do something similar with a TODO list however I haven't figured out a good solution to organize it. For example lets say i'm working on feature A and then B. During the developement of A, I find I also need C & D so I add them to the TODO list which now looks like ABCD when the actual development order needs to be ACDB. This cause my TODO list to become quickly out of sync with the order in which things need to be done. With long lists of inter-dependencies, have you found a good method of keeping your TODO list from jumping all over the place?
Ah, okay, the article referenced all categories of darknet markets.
One such magic is the "comparable" thing. See http://reasonablypolymorphic.com/blog/elm-is-wrong and https://github.com/elm-lang/elm-compiler/issues/774
It "works" because the eyes that watch willing gloss over it because it is looking for something else. If everything in the priority queue before a schedule xxx drug get sorted out, which will n'r happen (lol), maybe then the eyes will be interested in these cases.

I completely understand and I respect that you're willing to even post anything at all.
And yet if you compare the US with the next umpteen countries combined, totalling the same number of people, gun deaths in the US are vastly more common.

Do you think it's because Americans are more homicidal by nature? Or is it perhaps because Canada, England, Japan, et al have gun control laws?

There's very little reason to buy weapons through an underground market like this. Most can be openly purchased in large parts of the country.

Personally I do not like underscores. It can get real ugly.

So instead of:

Waterjet operator for about a decade here (OMAX). The nozzle slowly and unevenly wears until such a point as you decide it's hurt precision enough that you want to replace it.
Everything else on the machine wears out in sudden and near random fashion. Replacing pump parts is done more just because if anything in there fails, you end up with something catastrophic failing. The regularly replaced pump parts are mostly just little gaskets and fittings, but they're pricey anyway.
With 50k PSI going through little stainless pipes, sometimes something gets cracked, at which point you get fog shooting across a room out of a hole so small you can't find it with a microscope. Most failures besides the nozzle end up destroying at least three parts. I'm not sure how much of this would hold true at the much lower pressure used here.
I've come across many of your articles when looking up JavaScript stuff. That's a lot of books. Congrats!
It does use websockets, see https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/22864 for more information.
It says right here, https://supportedsource.org/definition "Modifications. The license must permit modifications to the source code."

But you also can't just take parts of the code and redistribute it for free, because "Restricted Uses. The license should include restricted uses, such as disallowing resale or sublicensing."

The point isn't to prevent people from customizing their use of the software. The point is to create a system where developers get paid and projects are financially sustainable, instead of being abandoned or barely maintained.
Are you also fine with anyone being

Yes.

I'm not saying "all parking has the same externalities" - obviously, the first parking spot at a house has different impacts than the tenth. And of course people can do creative things with parking lots. I never said that they couldn't. What I am saying is that mandated parking, above what property owners want to provide, is a deadweight loss and can't be ignored. And, as is common in many suburbs, when parking and roads is frequently one-quarter of total land use, we have to consider that this could have a significant impact.

If what you desire is a walkable or Main-Street-y type urban form, you have to tackle parking minimums. Likewise if you want compact row housing and multi-storey apartments. If you don't want those things, that's fine, no problem. But if you do, you should consider that the dense urban form of older downtowns and main streets is basically impossible to build with current parking regulations.

It's comforting to know that devices like the Nokia 3310 had the serial port, called "F-Bus" or "M-Bus", located _below_ the battery. It made it impossible to connect a cable without entering the PIN again.
