I've seen places where this situation exists, and the supermarket will charge some amount of money to park in the lot, but make it free if you shop in the market. Seems like a reasonable solution. The paid parking covers the extra insurance and maintenance. Maybe you should suggest it to the market across from your bar. :)
Thats a pretty good point. As far as I know critical thinking is our only "weapon" against propaganda, so I hope you are wrong.
That wouldn't contribute anything to the conversation.
A very nice video that explains the various voting paradoxes.

Specific ideology, sure, but banning all theists from immigrating would be too broad of a brush. So would banning all Muslims.
FTA: "But this one was especially graphic and specific and has required me to consult with law enforcement...To illustrate the gruesome hate that now regularly pours into my inbox, I posted the email on Facebook and made the image public."

Right: author contacted law enforcement about the death threat. Regardless of who threatens whom, such behavior is unacceptable.

Wrong: author felt entitled to signal their victimhood and rebroadcast offensive material, which presumably involves an ongoing law enforcement investigation(?) and got bent out of shape when Facebook didn't play along.

Stupid: Facebook fixed the problem and apologized; no word on what the response was from the law enforcement agency contacted by the author.
> Hopefully in the next round the powers that be will figure out how to better reward everyone who takes risk working at startups. Right now employees take almost as much risk as founders for much less reward.

Like big companies started to do it last time around, the startup will have to start giving RSUs instead of options without too much unreasonable limitations on sale of those RSUs on the secondary market. That would allow to much more easily (and realistically) valuate and realize your actual compensation.

Every time startup makes me an offer (and i almost don't interview with startups), a typical option loaded one, i always kind of wonder - "you wanna me forgo $50K+ in total in exchange for what? Shouldn't i get a stock like other investors? Because applying my time and skills at discounted rate is like investing the monetary value of that discount.". The only time when startup matched the total (of a concurrent offer from a public co.), several years ago and i should have taken it, it was a really early stage back then a unicorn of today. One can say being generous is a sign of unicorn :)

Many of the Cortex M0s are very good at conserving power, and have a number of low-power and sleep modes, which make running at these levels quite easy. On the other hand, while Bluetooth 4.0 is low-power friendly, cost and size limits inherent to the watch will probably force the team to do a custom antenna and FCC certification, which is expensive, slow, and painful.

I would say the electronics are not too complicated or difficult, but the energy harvesting and design will be tough, and the whole project will be quite arduous.

It would be very interesting to see their development plan, and whether they are going for an iterative/modular design, or all-in.
There are CPUs out there with sleep currents well below 0.1 mA, for example the Microchip nanoWatt XLP. The product page advertises 9 nA in a best case sceneario.
Couldn't you monetise fake news that's visible enough to make Google/Facebook do that by charging whoever benefits politically from it? Assuming you can convince them you can do it over and over maybe they'd pay you to keep going or stop?

Yep. I would like to think I would be respectful in informing her I found her comment impolite, just like I would tell someone who said something sexist that their comment is unacceptable.

In fact, Donald Knuth is so below average from a productivity standpoint that there is an entire book published about books and papers that Donald Knuth published: http://www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~knuth/cp.html
ah, sorry, I was referring to the second link, where it describes a scenario where even though more people would have preferred B over C, C won.
Fine. Whatever. Spoiler effect is much less of an issue with ranked voting, so good to know that Maine will be going IND (likely) next cycle unless GOP steps up their game and caters to the middle. A win for lefties in either way.

I guess while we're on the topic, and since it appears in the WaPo's screenshot, can someone give insight on how the hell Heavy.com is almost always at the top ofbreaking news links when doing standard Google News searches for people suddenly in the news? Things like: "John Doe: 5 Facts You Need to Know"

Here's one:

http://heavy.com/news/2016/09/keith-lamont-scott-charlotte-n...

Entirely cribbed from real news sites' coverage when it's not just innuendo. And yet when the news is fresh, Heavy.com is almost always at the top, beating out original coverage and even sites that do it much better (DailyMail comes to mind).

I get that prioritized placement of proper nouns in the headline and page title can boost SERP, but this is ridiculously effective SEO-gaming, the likes which were mostly stopped when Google's Panda was thought to drastically hurt content farms like Demand Media [0]

Even the article the WaPo screenshot, which is the very first link for "clinton vs trump", is just fluff:

http://heavy.com/news/2016/11/popular-vote-clinton-trump-hil...

The first 3 lines:

> There are millions of ballots that haven’t been counted yet from the 2016 presidential election. How many? The New York Times estimated on November 12 that there are 7 million uncounted ballots in the country.

How is this beating actual URLs to live poling data that have Clinton vs Trump in the title?

Hi there. I compiled this list of resources about startup fundraising. There are resources and articles for topics like crowdfunding, stories of successful angel rounds, advice from VC's on how to raise VC, equity crowdfunding, bootstrapping success stories, stories of raising successful venture rounds, tools to value your company, services to help with the legal aspect of fundraising, slide decks founders used to raise funding, and more. Please check it out and let me know what resources should be added to it!
That seems like the wrong incentive, if you were also the people responsible for making sure pageable events didn't happen.

You seem unable explain why she requires a diamond ring, which makes it very unlikely you would be able to change her mind.

Engagement/wedding rings are status symbols. Most women feel this more strongly than men. When first engaged most women will want the ring to be noticed and be rather conspicuous about making it visible. Many of her friends and colleagues will comment on it and having a high value ring will be a point of pride.

It feels good to show off. By saying you don't want to pay for a diamond, she may feel that she will be missing out on all of the pride and status effects.

My own tactic for convincing my wife to accept a moissanite stoned ring was simple. Reframe it as the higher status option. The moissanite stones are higher quality and have more brilliance. Moissanite are "conflict-free" stones. We went ring shopping together and allowed her to choose rings/settings that she liked. I pointed out that some of the settings would be out of our price range even with a flawed diamond, but we could substitute a flawless moissanite and people would notice the improvement.

Ultimately if she still wants a diamond stone, it is her choice and it is her status symbol.

> I feel like people's behavior would change if the metric to elect the president was solely based on the popular vote.

Agreed. For most of us who wish to change or abolish the electoral college, the fact that people feel (mostly accurately) that their vote doesn't matter, and therefore don't participate in the electoral process, is the primary problem we would like to address.

BS on your latter claim, fasces are everywhere in the US https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fasces#Fasces_in_the_United_St... as a homage to the Roman Republic on which ours was explicitly modeled (the S in SPQR stands for Senate), and pretty much were already there before Mussolini adopted them (and being an Italian in Italy, how could he not?).

Many of us just want the 15" display preferring longer battery life and smaller size/weight to using a discrete GPU. I am at a university and the 15" rMBPs are popular with students as well as researchers. I currently have the 2015 rMBP 15".

Thus, it is disappointing that there is not replacement for the version that uses only the integrated graphics. Also, the Intel 530 graphics of the 2016 rMBP 15" appears to be lower performing than the 2015 rMBP 15" integrated graphics. While there were benchmarks for the battery life of the iGPU, there were no performance benchmarks comparing the rMBP 15" 2016 iGPU vs. the 2015 iGPU.

I've looked online and it appears that the 530 is about 20% slower than the 2015 rMBP 15" iGPU.

EDIT: Source for Iris Pro 5200 vs. HD 530: 5200 about 20% faster than 530 for same resolution.

Do you expect to see different performance (and therefore adoption rates) in different regions of the US/world?

Folks in sunny California saw optimal performance of their Tesla batteries, compared to folks in the chilly northeast—perhaps this is the flip side of the coin?
I am not suggesting that the never-to-be-released prison should be a hellhole, just that it is the only one that can be a hellhole. Treating prisoners that you will release badly is totally stupid.

Your argument is a very good one why no prison should ever be a hellhole because there are no prisoners that certain to be in the never-to-be-released category.
I understood what you were saying. Everything is fine. I wanted to make clear WHY the monarchists hated the Weimarer Republik.
> Pager duty is essentially wage theft.

It is only reasonable to hold that stance if it goes both ways. If you consider it wage theft to expect you to work on-call hours, then you also must consider it proper work ethic to always work 40 hours a week, never taking an afternoon to... well, do anything. 40 hours, no more, no less. Don't be late in the morning, either.

If that is how you want to work, there are certainly jobs that offer it.
I was just commenting on the strange word choice used for that statement. Almost like whoever was editing that section wanted a way to weasel out of the implications later, if need be.
Yes, we looked at Qt 1.5yrs ago, and we were a for-profit startup creating an MIT-licensed open source desktop software that we needed to add a UI to, for which we were considering Qt5 for specific features. It was a weird, edge case mix.

To expand on this a little more, I think traditional media is also quite often deceptive or wrong.

The example that really opened my eyes was the reporting in the NYT running up to the Iraq war, during which they falsely reported Saddam Hussain had large stockpiles of WMDs.
This is true in general, but some of the very early Gmail addresses do differentiate based on the '.'

For instance, my very early-adopter Gmail address has a '.' in the address but it is an entirely different account from the one without. If you send mail to the one without the '.' I do not receive it.
Any idea why this was flagged as dupe? Can't see any other articles on if showing up...
Short answer: yes. We are a democratic republic but most people think of us as a direct democracy. At some point, we may decide to change how we vote for president. Thus, it is worth knowing what the majority actually voted for. No, it can't change the past, but yes, it can change the future.
>Critical thinking is not a shield against your own bias.

You are correct, it is not, but at least it acknowledges that biases are there. Most people don't even know what personal biases are to begin with.
Looks neat. Also see http://requestb.in/ in the same vein.
I worked at HERE maps which has a large office (800+) in Chicago and worked on a computer vision system that processed 3D LiDAR and imagery. There are teams working on building crazy 3D tools and processing for building maps for autonomous vehicles. Its sad that nobody knows they are in downtown Chicago because its pretty damn interesting work.
Question is: what constitutes "correct"? The Federal Elections Commission hasn't released the official results.

Google does (in light gray) mention that there's still 20 electoral votes to account for. It does not, however, give any disclaimer to the very precise looking "popular vote" count[1], which will change significantly when those 20 EVs are finally accounted for, and change again if[1] more counting occurs. A whole lot of arguing is going on over that popular vote, which indications are actually puts Trump ahead even though Clinton is authoritatively presented by Google as having more. No major site is showing Trump having the 306 EVs which he will undoubtedly have; the stalling at this point is getting suspicious.

[1] - To clarify: the USA presidential election does not establish a winner from the straight count of all voters. Since we are the United States, voters in each state vote in their jurisdiction, the state decides how to handle the results, and then each state submits a set of votes (weighted by population in a way to ensure low-population states aren't invariably washed out by a dozen major cities elsewhere). We don't necessarily complete the vote count because, mathematically, there comes a point (usually) where the remaining votes simply don't matter (say, candidate T is ahead by 200,000 votes and there are 100,000 votes remaining to count) because the allocation of the state's electoral votes are provably complete (and because counting every vote usually gets pretty messy at the end; look up "hanging chad").
What factually correct information are you talking about exactly? Both sides have biases if nothing else about the other side.

The whole idea with a democracy is that no one get to decide what is important to voters and so no one get to decide what they need to be informed about.

Politics about prioritization it's NOT an academic discipline. People who voted for Trump did so because of what they felt was important just like voters for Hillary did on her.

Who are you or I to say what information is the right information to judge based on?
Mmmmmm... gritty steak, my favorite.
That sounds like something that needs to be measured in order to be claimed. I'm a reddit user, and I confine myself mostly to /r/rust

It's a stretch to suggest that this is the common case for Reddit users, though.

I agree, the CPU is probably the smallest problem.

I'm curious with how little power you can get away with using a BLE radio. Especially if you constrain yourself to some kind of polling mode where the watch reaches out to the smartphone every minute or 5 minuetes or so.

Tangent: I found 1.4M to 1.7M employees for NHS on google. 64.1M people in the UK, 31.42M employed.

1.4M / 31.42M = 4.5% of the entire UK workforce works for NHS? Is this a normal distribution for a developed country?
> As far as I know critical thinking is our only "weapon" against propaganda, so I hope you are wrong.

Speaking up and attempting to educate people if they are buying the propaganda is another "weapon".

Of course it isn't always effective but if enough people challenge someone hopefully they may reconsider.
How is this 'envy'? The UK hasn't stomped on Sealand, and isn't envious of it.

How about giving some examples of these supposedly envied places, rather than just leave it to the imagination?
Well, the MSP430 sleeps at about 1µA --- below if you turn the clock off!

But as you're not really getting anything done when the processor's not asleep, I quoted the power consumption when running. (Of course it's possible to use a capacitor to soak up energy and then run the processor at higher currents, in burst. You'd probably want to do this if you want radio. But on average, you're still getting about the same amount of work done.)
Taking action is probably the best advice one can get out of that post.

3 Ways to Better Understand Your Emotions
People need to understand that the electoral college is working as designed.

The US was created to be something like the EU: a confederation of states.

Everyone intuitively understands that Luxembourg and Malta need to have protections in the EU so that Germany and France don't always get their way. The only way to achieve this is to have some disproportionate representation for the smaller member states.

In the US we have become much more centralized since WWII and FDR and now we seem more like a regular country with a unified power structure. But the system we're built upon is still designed for a group of largely autonomous states.

He did set the norms, but it's not like he's a godlike being with infinite wisdom or something. If people in his community don't agree with the norms he's established, there's nothing wrong with trying to buck those trends. I would not compare that to going to France and insisting that everyone speak English. Rather, if enough people in his community dislike the examples he sets, then in the analogy, Linus is the person who is demanding everyone speaks English. Community norms are heavily influenced by community leaders, but ultimately community norms are whatever the community consensus is, regardless of the leadership.

None of this is assigning rightness or wrongness to anyone, it's just group dynamics. If he drives people away, he may be OK with that. It may even be his desired outcome. There's nothing wrong with him running things the way he sees fit, and there's nothing wrong with other people thinking he's an ahole and going their separate ways. I'm much more sympathetic to the latter than the former though. In my experience, leaders who are too focused on getting people to respect their authority above all else tend to be the "B's" in the "A's hire A's, B's hire C's" management cliche.
There's a difference between succumbing to your own bias when seeking out & reporting news, vs willfully making $#!^ up as clickbait.

Although perhaps politically impossible, I maintain that the only check against corruption and misuse of mass data collection is to make it freely available to the public.

Mass surveillance is not going away. If anything, it will accelerate. The only way to keep the powerful from misusing it is to put everybody on the same level playing field.

The alternative is to glue our crossed fingers together and hope that nobody will abuse a technology that can bring so much good to do many people.

That may not be a language. That may be a programming style (functional? reactive?). It may be a library or a framework. It may be a platform (Android?). It may be a "language" that we don't think of as a language (SQL?).

My current answer is Android (not that I'm making much progress on it...)

Credit where due: I got my version of the question from my wife. She's asked it a couple of times over my career.
It's funny how leftists think that democracy is "broken" because they favourite candidate has lost democratic elections :) The truth is exactly the opposite: the fact that candidate so despised by elites, media, lobbysts has won with votes of common people is a sign that the democracy is working better than ever.
Waterjet & laser have cut through a small point that can follow any programmed 2D path and can start a hole in the middle of a sheet.

By contrast blades are often very restricted as far as shapes go. Imagine cutting a disk with a band saw. A wire saw can get closer, but you don't start a hole with one, and AIUI it's quite slow (a thin wire is fragile, you can't feed hard). Milling tools can likewise follow arbitrary paths but usually the tools are unnecessarily large for cutting a shape out of a sheet. So you have higher forces and need better clamping and waste more material. Tiny milling tools exist but again you run into issues with fragility & low feeds, high rpm requirements, coolant, tool wear, etc. And the depth of cut tends to be very limited. All of the said methods will leave burrs instead of a nice smooth cut.

The setup for laser cutting can be very very simple.
What does this mean? What biases are you talking about?

I strongly disagree re: heavily debated. /r/politics was literally moderated by paid shills. /r/the_donald and /r/hillaryclinton immediately banned and deleted all dissenting comments. Most subreddits explicitly chose a side and deleted opposing viewpoints, e.g. /r/trees deleting anti-Clinton (pro-weed) posts. To me, this is just more evidence of the polarization of politics (I am obviously on the right side, and my opponent is so abhorrent that silencing them is justified).
