I should have been more clear on what I meant by 'local produce':

Local, or US Feta cheese, not imported from Greece.
California pistachios, not Turkish.
USA/NJ tomatoes, not from Holland or elsewhere.
Farmer's markets.

Every little bit helps, and it is not like you are taking any austerity measure between Greek or US Feta for example.
People rely too much on government to legislate intelligence. Emergent properties arise out of local, individual changes in behavior or choices. Yes, government matters, but it does start with individuals.

As far as growing efficiency and production, the US both imports and exports more food than any other country. We are very efficient at growing subsidized crops like corn. Why don't we stop the subsidies and grow more variety with the same efficiency? Less exporting, which is primarily due to an abundance in the US due to subsidies, would certainly trim the carbon footprint. The US exports $149 Trillion worth of food!

Agreed on beef, and all the sugar in the American diet in the form of corn syrup and others.
This just passes the buck to the voters guide. You still have issues of bias and misinformation. You may save a bit by being able to wait to see more information come in, but for some issues, you do want to know what's going on right now so you can act.

> Facebook itself is addressing the controversy by announcing they plan to ban fake news outlets from their ad network, cutting off the revenue source for these sites.

It's funny that the linked article[0], presumably from a "real" news source, very clearly says that Facebook's action will have basically no effect on the issue.

This might not be possible. People who actually swapped feeds with someone who had a different viewpoint decided they did "not like the news" because it didn't validate their very own viewpoint. So the problem isn't how fact checked the news is but more on the voter's views. That might be something very hard to change. [1]

This does not matter one bit. Bitkeeper offered the use of a product under a condition, in other words, a license. And it offered the product for free, expecting the license to be honoured. Every open source developer should respect and uphold that agreement, once entered by both sides.

Your personal opinion of the license terms is irrelevant. You respect other people's license, because you want them to follow yours. If developers can not grasp that, how do we expect users to?

"Most of economics is an intellectual veneer to justify politically motivated policy actions"

This is completely unfair. 'Most of economics' is just academic, and has little to do with policy.

Moreover, there's absolutely nothing wrong with companies hiring economists to build models for things that interest them.

AT&T's acquisitions are mostly their business, and so long as the government does it's job, then there should be little concern.

The 'issue' should be the competence and ability of those green-lighting M&A.

After the US conducted its own cyberattacks, they've been beating the drum on cyber security (I've personally seen one presentation from a high level official on beefing up security). Is it not reasonable to expect that the government and two official political parties have a minimum security requirement to protect against common attacks?

I suppose I'm just surprised that the rhetoric is 'boo Russia they interfered with our election' as opposed to 'wake up America, our cyber security is weak'.
You're talking about some kind of neoliberal openness, where open means "the big players agreed to it and it conforms to political ideas about structure".

That's not my definition of open. My definition open is you can access the spec for free without limitation, and use, modify, and redistribute it as you see fit.

If I am feeling grandiose I will concede that openness requires not just access, but easy access and usability by all stakeholders. That's a little radical, but the point is just that there's a degree of accessibility implied in the above. If you have to crawl through a snake pit to get the source perhaps that's not really open.

But your definition, which requires buy-in from Oracle and PepsiCo in order to be "open"... I think I reject that definition.

Reviving a computer system of 25 years ago – Wirth (2014)
People don't want to leave their bubbles, for the fear of uncovering uncomfortable truths. For example, I have friends who flat out refused to read any of the WikiLeaks e-mails that could potentially reveal something bad about Hillary, her campaign, the DNC, or any entity on the left.

That's just how some (probably a lot of) people are. When some people encounter something that challenges your pre-existing beliefs, it's easier to just ignore it and stay in your bubble of comfort.

And that mindset, IMO, is not an easy thing to fix.
That last line is the kicker. People are ignorant to the truth and|or simply refuse to believe it for whatever reason.
> the USA Right in general has completely broken with the idea that there is any such thing as "fact" that matters

This viewpoint is being thrown around lately, and it's bugging me but I still can't quite explain why. The crowning of this theory was Oxford Dictionaries' word of the year being "post-truth".

I mean, is this pair of articles not an example of "post-truth"?

I can confirm this anecdotally. In my family tree, just considering my parents, biological uncles/aunts and first-cousins - out of a total population of 19, our family has had 8 distinct individuals who were either alcoholic, drug addicted or compulsive gamblers, for a total of 8 out of 19. I am one of those (in recovery since 1998).

I can now recognise the telltale behavioural signs that may indicate tendency to compulsive/addictive behaviour. I'd love to see a cheap genetic test for addictiveness made available.
You need to stop using the word "race" this way. It's not a museum about "race". It's a museum about a cultural history shared among millions of Americans. It's got slavery, Jim Crow, and the civil rights movement, but also James Baldwin's passport. Black history in the US is an enormous rich topic; it would clearly deserve a museum even if blacks had never been discriminated against.

I disagree. jQuery was the tool that acts as a "polyfill" for cross-browser compatibility. Nowadays jQuery is dying, not because of React, Angular or TypeScript, Elm. It's dying because of browser-support of `querySelectorAll`, unified event handlers, unified AJAX request API and others.

jQuery had it's time. Now you just use "vanilla" JS and it is enough. No external dependencies for your landing-page / non-web-app site.

That's an interesting question, the question then becomes do people who like A because it conforms to their worldview like A because they where fed A and B because they where fed B or to put it another way have their views been shifted over time by the news they consume.

> People like to be told what they already know. Remember that. They get uncomfortable when you tell them new things. New things…well, new things aren’t what they expect. They like to know that, say, a dog will bite a man. That is what dogs do. They don’t want to know that a man bites a dog, because the world is not supposed to happen like that. In short, what people think they want is news, but what they really crave is olds - Lord Vetinari (Terry Pratchett - The Truth).

This is a common reply to any complaint about an authority. "I feel like there is more to this" is not a very charitable interpretation of a claim, and is basically invoking the just world fallacy. I don't know anything about the OP's case, but in general ignoring the negative experiences of others is kind of what resulted in both the BLM movement and Trump's election. As a society, we really need to work on taking people seriously when they say something is wrong.
I'm a liberal who voted for Hillary Clinton, despite basically loathing everything the Clintons stand for, and I read all the wikileaks emails.

That said, the torrent of pure bullshit based on those emails that was floating around on both sides was unbelievable. Either she was as pure as the driven snow or a she-demon, with nothing in between.

After a certain point, it wasn't even worth the effort to argue about it and I just started unfollowing half of my friends and family.
I quit Facebook 1 to 2 years ago. I suppose that's one of the reasons I didn't understand the hatred during the election towards the other side.

I don't have a feed of "He's evil" "She's evil". I saw two bad candidates and I understand where people are coming from with their votes.

I'd like to see most independents / democratic people unite under a real progressive platform next election and stop the extremist cycle of social issues vs fear mongering.
> Do you think the same of kids going to play soccer with their friends? Why / why not?

Has to do with the social skills that you learn and practice. Gaming is an escape from the real world in a bit of a different way - all social contact is reduced and "giving up" is as easy as a keystroke. The rewards you're getting are intangible and created by a programmer to entice you to make numbers go up or get a new hat, only applicable while you're still playing the game. It can be a wonderful place for people on the low end of the social spectrum to practice working together in a safe environment but rarely have I seen people get better at overcoming social problems that require tenacity through gaming.

> For example, redux vs mobx is really two different use cases IMO.

I wouldn't go that far, I'd say it's different ways of thinking about the same problem. Crucially, switching out your Redux stores/sagas for MobX stores should be a drop-in replacement for the most part. Actions are still actions, and stores are still stores. The only/main difference is that for MobX a reducer and an action are the same thing.
Reality is lot of the science is wrong as well. Intentionally paid by special interest or the end result is defined before any science is done.

"Lowering income taxes causes people to work more and in the end generates more revenue for the state".

Reducing taxes does cause people to work more. Whether it results in more revenue for the state depends on how much income tax was before and after the change. Elasticity of labour supply is not constant over all tax rates.

I know people like to crap on the Laffer curve but they crap on it because it's trivial if you have the barest knowledge of economics, not because it's false.

Macroeconomics is closer to the morass you describe but it still accumulates truth, if possibly depressingly slowly and with thirty year periods of regress. Microeconomics is on much firmer ground, in large part because they have more data and it's easier to accumulate it.

If you want a very readable introduction to price theory, which is a large part of microeconomics check out "Hidden Order" by David D. Friedman. It's based on his Price Theory textbook but rewritten for interest and readability. If you want something a bit more mathematically sophisticated, (basic calculus) look at Intermediate Microeconomics, Hal Varian.
I didn't either but the article actually gave me a better understanding of it.

The Wealth of Nations was not written by a 'socialist' by any means.

It describes Supply and Demand in a mechanical way, illustrates the power of comparative value, the 'invisible hand' etc..

Smith was a Ethicist and a heavy duty Christian, and so he also realized how the system could be imbalanced, and definitely took the concerns of the plebes to heart etc..

But by no means was this a social treatise, or an attempt to validate social theory or 'socialism' (which didn't really exist).

And I think your comment about Scotland/UK is not true at all.

The 'Supply and Demand' bit that Krugman said 'all econs agree on' is really from Adam Smith.

Marx basically evaluated that in the context of the fact that some small group apparently had all the capital, while others had none, which creates an inherent power/class struggle and so it turns into a political issue.

Smith and Marx probably would have agreed on 'the problem' though almost surely not the solution :)

I'll have to review all of it in more detail, but I still believe change happens at the individual level including not spending the savings on other carbon-emitting products. It's similar to emergence in self-organized systems. Great, coordinated actions follow from simple, local rules or behavior or action.

I fully understand wasted effort, like paper vs. plastic bags (as so aptly argued in Guesstimation book), when you consume more gas driving to the supermarket, and if you cut down on frequency of trips you offset the non-issue of plastic vs. paper.

I do believe in both individual and societal action, however society is construct of individuals, and ultimately action happens at the individual level. Law suits seem to be counter to both your argument and mine. I don't think they accomplish more than my suggestions. I am in great health now, and I consume half the food I used to, and not the carbon-emitting heavy hitter like meat and dairy anymore. I am an optimist, and I think if 100 million US citizens cut their food consumption by quarter or half, it would be a significant change on quality of life, society and carbon emission.

The power of markets for me is consumer-driven, not government mandated like a carbon tax. Government cannot legislate intelligence or change, and to look to government for this is part of the problem in my opinion. People need to take a look at their lifestyles and choices.
Wow, as a Trump supporter, I find this really scary ("what the alt right is").

I honestly did not know this is what the Alt Right was purporting to be.

But, this is not what Trump is about. Trump's policies do not reflect your manifesto here.

If you visit The_Donald Reddit, this is what most young Trump supporters are. They are opposed to SJWs, BLM, and third-wave feminists, because they do not think that their actions are helping them achieve their goals, and others just want to make fun of this fact.

The Alt Right certainly does lurk there, and I would say it is a good recruiting ground.

If you click on the Discord button in the sidebar, you will find a default chat room for The_Donald crew where it says "no racist/Nazi shit", but then there are recommendations for places to go for "free-er speech".

This makes me nauseas to think about. I get the feeling very dark places lie beyond here.

Sure, on the other side of the spectrum is the The New Black Panthers, and Communists, but I do feel like the right has scarier extremities.

If Bannon is for the Alt-Right as written in that article, then I am scared as fuck about him in the White House.

> If thats the case all guarantees are out the window and usually the best / only thing you can do is to crash and allow the process to restart.

I've found that there are a lot of minor bugs in the implementation that, in something client-facing (e.g. not on a server somewhere that can simply be taken out of the load balancing rotation until it restarts or whatever) probably shouldn't crash.

Report and log errors remotely - to be fixed - and skip some logic that relied on those guarantees, but not crash.

> Also in those case (in my experience) having a human-readable error message is rarely useful.

I'll settle for developer-readable, then ;). Panic can format error messages, and itself provides context information (the file and line you mention) as a decent means of reporting fatal errors. Some assertions are obvious enough as to their reason and cause from context - as you say, they don't need a message.

But I've also found taking the 10 seconds or so to think of a decentish error message pays off quite frequently. Even if I'm pretty sure it's unnecessary. Sometimes it may save me only a minute of context switching by telling me exactly what the problem was (instead of roughly describing some assumption made for unknown reasons), sometimes the only way I can make progress is by adding more logging and messaging and reproducing the problem because I couldn't suss out exactly what was happening - and deciding this could take a lot longer than a minute if I know it's hard to reproduce.

Risk analysis is typically done including both the probability of a problem and the impact of the problem. Not including the former in an analysis will result in spending vastly disproportionate amounts of effort on exceedingly rare problems, e.g. the consequences of a 1000ft tsunami hitting New York would be huge, but we don't build massive sea walls because it is also ridiculously unlikely. This applies perfectly well to digital security too: reducing the probability of an exploit is just as important as limiting impact if it does happen, which is why (for instance) Mozilla is doing both.
