This scenario does not actually play out in practice, because in order vote tactically in this way you need to be able to predict in which order the candidates will finish. If you're wrong - say, by too many people voting in the same way as you - you can could easily find your the candidate you ranked #2 defeating the candidate you ranked #3 (that you really preferred) with the help of your vote.

So yes, there are times when after the election you can see that you could have voted tactically for someone other than your most preferred candidate in order to assist them, but you can't easily or perfectly predict this beforehand.
Any store that tried to make people pay for parking would go out of business equally as fast as one without parking. (i.e. in some places that would fly, in most it would not.)

Your store or entertainment or whatever better be something absolutely unique and special for me to be willing to pay for parking.

The reasons cities require stores to build free parking is otherwise people park in residential areas and annoy the residents with extra traffic.
I think the link he shows between supporting Trump and favouring authoritarianism is tenuous but I can't spot any obvious flow in the main thesis - most Trump supporters are doing well economically but feel alienated culture-wise. Also, important to note but not pointed out by the author is that the support for Brexit was highest in areas that had seen a large percentage change (1% -> 2%) in immigrant population, not necessarily a large change (10% -> 14%).
Future humans will laugh at this quaint preference for one's own generic auto. Perhaps there will still be a point to owning specialized vehicles that e.g. go over difficult terrain or have extra comfort amenities. The idea that one Hyundai Sonata could be preferred to another Hyundai Sonata, however, is very odd.
The alternative is worse for everyone but the bombers. I very much prefer to have a bomb in the mall that might explode any moment to one that actually just did.
At first I thought these books were not free-- and was a bit miffed. However, they are quite free in HTML form, and you may support the offer via LeanPub for offline purchase. So thank you too the author, these look like great resources and I will dig into them. When/If my checking account displays a positive number I will certainly consider purchasing. Thanks!

For anyone who needs things waterjet cut (or other methods) there are a lot of metal fab shops out there, and you can get things cut cheap enough. The last water jet job I had done in a 24 hour rush was $140 for a 1 sq ft piece of aluminum 1/4" thick. It was shaped with a couple holes in it, not complex, but $140 is a long way from $6000.

For speed, this thing is slow (fine for hobby use) and you may find that other processes are more appropriate - especially if you cut a lot. I have a HD Plasma that can cut 1/4" steel plate at 282 inches per minute; compare that to the 0.4" on this machine. While my machine was $60,000 and thus 10x more money, it does cut 700x faster ..... and I am going to the Fabtech show in Vegas this week because I need to go even -faster- . http://www.fabtechexpo.com/

Sort of, it has to do with a generalizable philosophy on combining underlying pieces of thought in order to argue any concept. This was popularized by Ramon Lull, and discussed in the article. He focused primarily on religion and conversion to the Christian faith (a primer to answer any question about god/religion ) for example. It turns out he also had interests in computation on recently discovered work ~2001

In the Arte Combinatoria Leibniz basing on these ideas makes forays into mathematical combinatorics, and did a bunch of unpublished work (Nachlass) in the area yielding some results that were not published for many years later. For example partition of n into k published by Euler later.

...and the mask comes off. It seems that the writer isn't actually concerned with "fake news", but demands that Facebook censor "opinion pieces" negative of his candidate. Amazing that he thinks this is somehow strengthening his case!
Interesting idea. If the water were conductive -- say salt water -- then I don't see why you couldn't steer it with magnets. The trick would be to keep an electrical current running through the jet.

At normal fluid pressures -- the classic example being peeing on an electric fence -- it's hard to get much current flowing since there's so much empty space between droplets. But at thousands of PSI, is that still true?

What you said is very true. I also been extremely frustrated with a lot of the sites in that category, i.e. "eHow".
It depends a lot on what you might want to do and where you might want to live!

You could look at some stuff like

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most_commonly_learned_...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Less_Commonly_Taught_Languages

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_languages_by_total_num...

There are lots of interesting issues about this, for example that some languages tend to be spoken by richer people, some widely-spoken languages aren't widely-studied (in a particular place or at all), some languages tend to be spoken by people who already speak English or another language of wider communication, some language skills are more interesting to certain professions than others...

As an example, learning Dutch on top of English would really impress Dutch people but probably wouldn't help employability much because almost all Dutch-speakers also speak English fluently.

Learning a widely-spoken but not-widely-studied language might be exciting to marketers and military/spy agencies.

If you learn an important regional language it would help your prospects for finding work in that region.

There are also FSI ratings for how difficult languages are to learn, which might be relevant if you care about how much time and effort you may have to put into the project:

https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Wikibooks:Language_Learning_Di...

I'll put in a good word for Portuguese, my strongest foreign language: it's relatively easy for English-speakers to learn, it's widely spoken in absolute terms, it's relatively little-studied, Portuguese-speakers often really appreciate foreigners knowing it, and many Portuguese-speakers are monolingual (or bilingual in Portuguese and something other than English). Using it for work probably means doing something Brazil-related, and you can think about whether that's appealing or unappealing to you.

It's hard to argue against the usefulness of learning any of the top languages on the list of most-spoken languages, but you can see that they vary a lot on the criteria that I mentioned. For instance, today's Spanish and Hindi speakers are somewhat more likely to speak English than are Arabic or Chinese speakers.

You could also look at economic growth in places where the languages are primarily spoken (faster for Mandarin than for Spanish or Arabic, for instance).

Anyway, I hope some of these parameters offer interesting food for thought.

Edit: to agree with kafkaesq's point, learning a language that you enjoy is going to be a lot more fun and probably hold your interest better than one that you don't, and that is super-worth thinking about too. :-)

Use the editor that works best for you. I have used Vim every day for almost the last two years and I have learned to work very quickly inside of it.

As far as plugins, if one sounds interesting or useful to you, install it. If it doesn't work out, then you can delete it later. Over the years I have tried all of the popular plugins, but I have managed to whittle it down to 4 plus a couple of language specific plugins

I'm a "lost cause"? Thanks. I was a heroin addict from 16 years of age until I was 24. I've been clean for four years now, due to my governments excellent opiate-replacement therapy program.

The dehumanisation that happens when people discuss "junkies" makes me sick, and directly contributes to why a lot of us never ask for help.
That's an interesting link! However, like you said, you need specialized equipment to recycle it so this is not something that hobbyists or users of this machine will use since the cost will probably be more or less the same as the cost of a new bag of sand.

And you're still left with the huge amount of time it takes for it to cut steel. Commercial waterjet systems can cut that blade I mentioned in seconds. Wazer took 2 hours.

I think all these hobbyists and small shops that are considering this technology should beware of the cost. Suddenly, that seemingly high cost of commercial waterjet providers doesn't seem that high at all to me!
Just to clarify, when I say "relaxed rank voting is just a restricted version of score voting", I'm talking about the ballots, not the method for evaluating the winner. As I said, those two things should be separated. I agree that "instant runoff" is a rather sub-optimal choice as an evaluation method. But once "ranked choice" ballots are established in Maine (or wherever), they could later upgrade the evaluation method to, for example, use the Schulze method[1] instead, without changing the ballots.

The point is, whatever type of ballots you're using - traditional single choice, approval, ranked, relaxed ranked, or score/range - the ballots should all be converted to score/range ballots and evaluated by an optimal score/range evaluation method (probably Schulze or something like it).

This also means that the ballots don't even have to be all the same type. Each voter could choose the type of ballot they feel most comfortable with, knowing that whichever type of ballot they choose, their vote will count as much as any other voter.

Trade and the welfare state aren't mutually exclusive. Trade means producing what you are good at producing and trading for what you aren't. If it's uncoerced, it's beneficial to all parties.

In short, I don't know. However, I highly doubt it. Most of these features/permissions are disabled when you use RDS. For example you can't take a snapshot through SSMS, you have to use the AWS console.
Thank you for making a more balanced statement than I made. I only mentioned "right wing" because I didn't want to be coy about who I thought was the main offender. Obviously you are correct that it happens else where as well. And your thing about the anti-science folks is spot on. I can't research anything for my baby without hitting some ridiculous "voodoo" type sites.

I was not clear in my OP, but I am not suggesting Google filters that information, because I too think that's wrong.

I am suggesting "certification", which is like labeling what has been approved. You are still free to visit what you want, but you can choose to trust a certification if you want.
He may or may not be a racist, but he's very willing to be supported by, court (with various dog whistles), and not disavow, such racists as David Duke.
Approval Voting also has a simple multiwinner proportional aggregation procedure:

* Each ballot is given an initial "weight" of 1.

* The votes on the ballots are summed for each candidate, thus obtaining that candidate's total score.

* The candidate with the highest total score (who has not already won) is declared a winner. (Note that the first winner is the same as the winner of an ordinary single-winner Approval Voting election using the same ballots.)

* When a voter "gets her way" in the sense that a candidate she approved of wins, her ballot weight should be reduced so that she has less influence on later choices of winners. To accomplish that, each ballot is given a new weight = 1/(1+SUM), where SUM is the sum of the scores that that ballot gives to the winners-so-far.

* Repeat until the desired number of winners has been chosen.

"naughty words" are not synonymous with "rudeness". You can easily convey a message of contempt for the recipient with flowery, polite words, just as you can easily convey a message of fraternal love with rough words.

If someone told me to mind my language over a casual board game, I'd tell them to fuck off. A friendly jibe is just a friendly jibe, regardless of whether it had the word 'shit' in it or not. Words matter, but far less than intent does - and the intent of telling someone to clean up their act in a casual setting is that they're patronising you.
Thanks for an excellent overview and for confirming my assumptions. I've seen commercial waterjet machines in action when I visited a tool factory when I was in high school and those machines were amazing... they were cutting through plates of steel like it wasn't even there.

As for garnet, yeah, it's sand but it's finely meshed and I'm guessing you need a strongly abrasive sand. Unless you're near some beach with that type of sand, you'll have hard time finding something optimal.

I just don't see why any DIY-er would want this want this machine given how expensive and time-consuming the whole process is. Unless you're rich or working for some rapid-prototyping place, you're much better off paying commercial guys for cutting your blanks for you. Anyway, feel free to correct me if you think my reasoning is wrong since I'm no expert.
I'm implying they're mutually dependent, not mutually exclusive. The problem is we've been only been focusing on the trade half.

I don't understand something. Why is a compromise not an option?

Like safe spaces for such vices. State or city, or even privately owned venues with highly audited and regulated enviornments. Solid security, but also inviting enough to be an option for anyone.

Revenue and taxes generated from them ofcourse benefits society, while also putting a damper on crime lords income that could possibly end up being used to fund worse activities such as human trafficking.

Those who currently refuse to observe laws and still want that 'fix' have a legal option in a controlled enviornment. Reducing convictions to only those who do not utilize the safe space and put theirself and others at risk. They can cheaply and efficiently be monitored to know if they are well enough to be back in public. If not, sleep it off or have a verified driver pick them up.

Consumption can be monitored possibly greatly reducing accidental overdoses.

Increases availability which may lead to less 'its hard to get, I want it more' scenarios that strengthen addiction and habits. It may also help prevent people from getting in over their head by racking up debt with individuals who have no problem resorting to violence and sometimes also intentionally or unintentionaly hurting other innocent people.

I truly cannot think of any 'Cons' to having such a system other than the possible general public's opinion that 'we have accepted defeat and decided to join them' pinning involved organizations and business as effectively drug dealers and just as bad.

Let me summarize with an example:

Gambling other than lottery is not permitted in my state as far as I know. If I want to gamble I have to hit the casinos 1-2 states over. Knowing I have such an exquisite option available if I decide to do so allows me to appreciate that. I've never stepped foot inside a casino, nor done any type of serious gambling, but if I ever did I would like for it to be in a nice, fair, and engaging enviornment like those available. Just as if I decided to take a trip on shrooms, or hit a line of cocaine just for the experience with friends. I'd rather be in a place that I can relax and know everyone involved is exponentially safer than doing so in the neighborhood crack house.

I would love to hear others thoughts.
I am going to check my preconceived notion this is 1) A horrible idea/product 2) false-- and be opened minded. I ask the following questions of anyone knowledgeable of the space or otherwise having a strong bg in EE:

- Is it possible to power a device like this for > 8 hours?

- How difficult would it be to create a device like "promised". By that I mean, a fully fleshed out google glass, one that conceptually delivers things like object recog, nightvision, camera, HUD.

Google glass failed (imo) for 2 major reasons, and I only see one of them has changed.

1) The interface was terrible. Apple can solve this with a combo of offloading processor & peripheral interfaces with the watch & an iphone. The phone has a more robust processor & the interface is not voice, but potentially 2 different devices.

2) Hardware. As alluded to, interfacing with the device was painful, but the device itself didnt deliver due to HW limits. Apple can bypass some computing by offloading to a phone or secondary device, but battery life is still a limit...for both devices.

If apple shifts-- and they have; from the hub being a computer, to the cloud and now ultimately the phone; can they deliver the battery power? Not only will the phone be the brain of potentially 2 devices on top of its own functionality, but the conputing power, graphic processing power, networking and battery life need to increase both for the phone-- the hub, but all peripherals.

Can Apple (or anyone) deliver on this with current tech, or do we need better battery tech & smaller cpu / networking?
