Not trying to get involved in the debate around net neutrality, but you'd have to have criteria around what is success and what is failure. Depending on how you measure it, there are very few government programs that couldn't be simultaneously cast as either a success or failure depending on which criteria were chosen after the fact.

Clearly, those in favor will point out its positives and discard its negatives, and vice versa.

The point, I think I'm making, is that for those opposed to net neutrality, maybe some would be less opposed if success and failure were clearly defined, and whatever regulations enacted were the least and most tailored amount of regulations meant to specifically prevent the previously defined failure states. Giving broad and ambiguous authority over something like "the internet" is fraught with both wonder and peril, and until and unless "good" and "bad" are quantified, it seems unfair to castigate "the other side" as shills, or ignorant (not that I'm suggesting that you've done that, but it's definitely been done).

I don't think I understand the last point. Even if my car is self-driving, I still don't want to share one with anyone. I also want it to be big to take all of my music equipment,computer rig, etc etc etc with me.

I think cars being as large as they are has absolutely nothing to do with a size of the engine. There are some cars with absolutely tiny 4-stroke engines and they are still "large" because anything smaller would be unstable on the road. You can't make a cabin for a single person on 4 wheels, because it will fall over in any turn - you have to make it a motorcycle, or a tricycle - and you are losing a lot of things that make a car a car at that point. Not to mention the fact that I don't want my car to be a tin can - I want to be comfortable.
> Then you shouldn't like BCHS or pledge because the author likewise tells you that you should use it and not other things.

What a non sequitur. That I do not like being told what to (not) use has no bearing whatsoever on whether I can like or dislike the thing that someone somewhere is advocating for or against.

A brain teaser? Like a puzzle? Or do you mean a coding interview?

Brain teasers haven't been asked in years AFAIK.

It's gotten bad enough that there are entire product categories I completely avoid on Amazon due to the likelihood of counterfeit. If I'm looking for a specific brand of electronics (say, Anker or Apple) I'll buy it off Newegg or direct from a brick and mortar. If I can't be bothered or it's not at the store, I'll order it from that store or manufacturer's website (Home Depot, Fry's, etc.).

For a lot of other things, the price is so close or the exact same, I'll just buy it from the store. I do a lot of woodworking, so I buy a fair amount of stuff from a number of brands that people aren't really counterfeiting (yet)- for those I'll buy using prime, unless it's at one of the woodworking/hardware stores in the area. Then I'll just go get it myself, the prices are always within a small percentage of each other.

It feels like, for me, I do my window shopping at Amazon and execute my purchase locally, just because Amazon has gone downhill for me. I would be interested to know if other people are slowly coming to the behaviors I have.

Pretty much I get random small electronics components that don't need a great level of quality and just random other things that I don't care all that much about quality or origin. They've become my Alibaba in a way.
I guess it wasn't really against Trump supporters, but against people causing a restaurant owner to be harassed in real life. Happened to be Trump supporters, but to be honest it could have been any other subreddit; wouldn't have been the first time.
As much as I would like it for electric cars to be commonplace, I think there are bigger hurdles.

Free charging stations are going to be less appealing when you have hundreds of cars recharging every hour, not to mention the increased space requirements because a car takes 2-4 minutes to refuel but 30 minutes to refill the battery. Someone will have to pay for the price of energy and infrastructure (don't say the government will: actually they make a lot of money on gasoline and diesel, at least in Europe, and they will have to recoup that too!). And right now one of Tesla's selling point is the free recharging stations.

The charging time itself is an issue. It's a real pity that Tesla's battery swap stations programme was halted. If you're traveling with two kids you certainly don't want to waste half an hour while they're both asleep just to charge the battery... :-)

Scaling production and having a compelling product is already hard enough, and Tesla's being excellent at that, but scaling the infrastructure for consumers is a whole different business.
There's something I don't get.

IMO, Python 3's support for matrix multiplication using the @ operator is itself worth the cost of admission. Much of technical computing is just implementing algorithms that use linear algebra extensively, and if you're coming from matlab littering your code with dot(dot(X,Y),Z) is a real pain

Well, I looked up "Mankala model", so for TVO and Olkiluoto the investors and the consumers are largely the same - which means that the investors/consumers will just directly over-pay for the electricity, by having a larger total cost (mostly the capital costs) than what they could have paid by buying the electricity on Nordpool.
Or conversely, they will never recoup their investment if they just sell the energy on Nordpool.
I re-read the entire article twice and I still don't know exactly what they mean by "Tesla shock". Very sloppy headline.

Sure. All there is to Apple hardware and software is branding.
> It is strange to see people make up something they think is bad

(Opposition to) net neutrality is not "made up".

> accuse the person they don't like for doing it in the future

People posting here like net neutrality completely independently of how they feel about Trump. You can go back way before Trump came on the scene and find HN threads in which the majority opinion is largely supportive of NN.

This isn't a "demonize Trump" sentiment, it's a "pro net neutrality" sentiment. And it always has existed as an extremely important issue for SV completely independently of Trump. For decades.

> despite having no indications whether that person will actually do it

...other than his word and the preference of relevant people on his transition team.

> and then say that persons supporters are stupid enough to support said action

No one ever said that voters supporting Trump were stupid. Just that abolishing net neutrality would hurt them.

E.g. it's possible that abolishing net neutrality would hurt a coal miner, but it's none-the-less in that coal miner's best interest to vote for Trump.
I was diagnosed with Tourette's in elementary school, but I've had tics for as long as I can remember. Similar to the author, I had a lot of negative experiences early on with people (both adults and other kids) mocking and telling me that I "did not have Tourette's". Starting around high school though, people seemed to become more open-minded about it, which I can only assume is due to people finally considering me old enough to be a credible source about my own health. I'm much younger than the author though (currently only 22), so I can only imagine how much more difficult it would have been to have to deal with ignorant people 30 years ago. I sometimes wonder what would have happened to me if I were born several decades earlier; with the combination of my Tourette's, OCD, ADHD, and anxiety, I can't imagine I would have been able to get the support and help I needed to become the self-sufficient adult I am today
Ironically you're both in agreement without knowing it. Yes, trust is important and yes, the 'community on Reddit' still trust Reddit.

The bulk of Reddit users don't mind that spez had a momentary lapse of judgement and corrupted some r/The_Donald stuff. They find it amusing; left to them r/The_Donald would have been nuked long ago on the way to making Reddit into the sort of safe space echo chamber they want. The fact that spez had a little fun with it just affirms that he's on the right side of that mentality and secures his trust among these people. They're not proud that one of theirs has been caught so embarrassingly, but he's on their side so it's easy to forgive.
Yes. The essential mechanism of a fission bomb is the formation of a critical mass within ~ a millisecond's time. Form the critical mass too slowly, and you get massive heat and radiation, but no explosion. Thus the standard cylindrical design with half a critical mass at each end, sitting in front of charges. Detonate both charges at once, slam the two halves together, boom. Crude but effective.
> It's not really comparable. He wasn't editing Private Messages between two people, but public discussion (which was calling him a pedophile supporter).

Why does it matter what the discussion was about?

>The reddit admins aren't known for making the greatest judgement calls, but that just makes them more human.

I don't get it. Is being 'more human' good or bad? Is 'humanity' somehow a property that emerges from deceit and hypocrisy, or does it emerge from some other portion of this scandal?

>The fallout of this will probably be a bunch of nothing. It doesn't affect the 90% of lurkers, nor the rest of the site which doesn't give a shit about US politics.

agreed that the fallout will be minimal, but I disagree that it only affects US political boards. The reality is that we don't really know the scope of the problem; we have to take the word of parties, that have already been proven dishonest, regarding the depth and scope of their own wrong-doings.

>It's doubtful their community could stand own their own or it would have done so already.

I'm sure reddit was an awesome vehicle for their messages, but the internet is a big place, and there were people/places/forums/groups/zines like this before reddit was around.

> It's no secret that they didn't trust the admins before the election.

and now it's no secret that they were right.
This is an enlightening talk about the current state of the industry.

mea culpa, I just skimmed through the code because I think it would be interesting to graph that stuff.
That was partly my point. You bring up you don't like being told what you should or shouldn't use. Yet, you use a product doing exactly that of your own free will. You probably started to after someone shared a link to affect your decision-making. So, a pointless counter in reply to up-thread recommendations.
Sure, but many of those cars in use by 2040 got sold new before today or will be sold in the next 10 years. In many places around the world, driving a 30 years old car is not uncommon (I mean, parts of Mexico still have this as the most common type of cab: http://www.zonalatina.com/Zldata313a.jpg ).

Now, the current market share of electric cars for new cars in the US is 0.62% (it is 0.08% in China). By 2040, in terms of new car sales, the market share is expected to be 35% worlwide [1]. That is a 6 orders of magnitude increase (at 2x each time) in 24 years, using the US number. So, extrapolating and saying the market share doubles every 4 years (24/6), you'd be reaching 70% electric in new cars by 2044 without regulation. With regulation banning non-electric cars as soon as it make sense for each country, I expect it to go 50% of all new cars electric one year, 100% the next.

Either way, by 2048 the number of new gasoline cars will be negligible, but the existing stock of cars already sold might take a few more decades to dwindle.

I overcame Bipolar Spectrum disorder. This article, and many others like it, get many things right. Each person is different, and it took me many, many years to get the right help and many, many different approaches.

I'd like to add another aspect to this discussion that might be misunderstood, but I'll say it anyway because there are likely others that were in the same situation I was. I attended a church back in my 20's that turned out to be a horrible environment for me. Churches are not all the same. They are multifaceted, not monolithic. I was at this church for 10 years, and the environment was very emotional. They even had services on Wednesday nights because of the hype and emotion.

When I became sick, I had pastors pray for me and ask God for healing. When the months went by and I was not getting better, the not-so-subtle message was "there must be sin in your life" or that I needed deliverance from some sort of demonic influence. People stopped visiting. I felt like a social leper. It was one of the darkest points in my life.

After 7 months of suffering crushing depression, daily anxiety and frequent panic attacks, I was reduced to working a part-time job and eating only sandwiches from the gas station next door because I didn't want to be out in public. I could share the remainder of the story, but the point I want to make is I got through it.

There are many, many communities of faith out there. Some are fantastic and very understanding of mental health issues. Others are toxic and horrible. If you're in a similar situation, I just want to let you know three things: 1) There is hope 2) Don't give up 3) If you need to make a change (church, family, friends, etc) do it.

There are many wonderful, loving people in the world who really do care and REALLY DO understand what you are going through. You really are not alone. I know how it feels to think you're the only one going through what you are going through, but the truth is you are not. I still remember being in my first mental health group of about 10 people and hearing people share their stories. What a relief it was to know I was not alone! Some of the biggest laughs I've had in my life have been with other "crazy" people, because we all know how hard mental illness can be, and how wonderful life can be when things are simply normal without all the drama.

I'm now married over 16 years, with two children and two very spoiled pugs. I've also been attending a great church for the last 6 years that is more balanced, without all the ups and downs emotionally. I've shared my story many times about overcoming a serious mental illness and will continue to do so. Mental illness is more cruel than most people will ever realize, so if you suspect you have something or know you get help, and surround yourself with positive, encouraging people.
But then the triangle shows only one hue. I wonder if some people wouldn't at this point decide that there is no visible way to choose other hue and give up without trying.

It's good to be able to put a name to this. I had come to the same conclusion privately but never knew the term to point to.

The real question is "when?". The costs of distributed manufacturing currently make distributionism less-than-viable (see: communes), but those costs decrease as technology advances, while the rents imposed by centralization do not, and perhaps even increase. There will be a crossing point.

Services are the sticky bit. Goods alone can't replace doctors, lawyers, and the like, at least not yet. On the timescale of the "crossing point" I'm less sure. Fortunately, they might not have to -- anything we can do to decrease the urgency of the "mandate to make money" serves as a relief valve for the oversupply of labor and decreases the toxicity of the market, even if it doesn't eliminate it.
8-cylinders are maybe 5% or less in Europe. But there are many 1000cc engines instead. A Prius is "only" 15-20% more efficient than a similar non-hybrid, even less if you consider diesels (which pollute more even though they consume less fuel).

0_o Why so many employees? In the context of the volume you do I don't see how you'd turn a profit with that many employees unless you get the tax credits other francophone software groups like Logivision get and more.
I don't know how you think that school systems, especially in the west, place more emphasis on "how" than "why". Western schools most definitely place their emphasis on "understanding" rather than "doing". I think that all this does it create a false sense of understanding. Students think they understand why something is done, then when they go to do an actual problem they are totally lost.

I think this is a big reason why american students rate themselves as being very confident in their understanding, but performing rather poorly compared to other nations. I'll have to look for the citation to back that up.

Just my 2cents.

Is there nuance that can be added? Sure. Pretending one thing is the same as the other is not, in my opinion, a nuance that furthers the discussion.

It's really, really hard to equivocate the 13th amendment to, say, the EPA rules overturned by Michigan v EPA, or any of the other thousands of regulations imposed last year.
" I still don't want to share one with anyone"

That's fair enough, but many people will enjoy having access to economical transport without sinking tens of thousands of dollars in to a depreciating asset.
What he thinks is irrelevant. The system is in place to allow people without jobs to survive. We either have to have that, or guarantee that everyone has a job - I come from a former communist republic that tried to do the later, it's not pretty. I would much rather live in a country that let's him live off welfare than in a country that tries to shove a job everyone's throat.

Toyota seems to be the only ones able to do it in small vehicles well. Whereas it seems to be much easier in larger vehicles, since many more companies are bringing big vehicles to market. They use lithium batteries with the hydrogen charging the lithium batteries. I guess this is why Toyota is doing well - since they have lots of experience with hybrid vehicles.
Just no. The US economy relies on Urban areas. This is where the vast majority of wealth, innovation, and knowledge is created (at a much greater rate per capita, than rural areas). This is only increasing in part due to how knowledge is created/shared with agglomeration effects (in cities) and due to globalization (small factories could support small towns, with the loss of these factories, small towns die.)

Small towns do not pay the bills. (Do you seriously think that small town America could afford to build and maintain the Eisenhower 4 lane highway that runs through the town? They can't.)

There is practically zero evidence that "Small town America" isn't dying a painful death these days. You don't have to like it, I certainly don't. (I live in a state that was "Small town America.") But wake up, small town America is dying, and there is almost nothing that can be done to fix it. But trying to somehow "punish" Urban areas certainly doesn't make any sense.

And finally, do you really believe that it's better that a minority has the ability to "showhorn" the majority? Why?

The last thing in your post works well. Everything up to it got 18 votes with 5 comments that mostly countered the OP. Evidence seems to be in my favor that posts like above are foolish and will be largely ignored.

Voting, flagging, and commenting in threads where the behavior shows up are best approach.
The number of things that must work correctly in your scenario are so unrealistic that I would still say the odds are near zero. If someone wants a Tesla they'll do it the easy way and use a flatbed truck.
You're right, my phrasing re: "sexual control" is rhetorically unfair, and you're right that it is a horrible thing for those who experience a loss of fidelity with their partner.

But I'm not talking about people who have actually been cheated on. I'm talking about the use of the term as a generic insult, which, if you feel so strongly about how subjectively awful it is, I think you should agree is a petty way to weaponize the term, which is what the alt-right does by calling everyone who they perceive as being weak or having been defeated a "cuck".
"These days, everybody from Left to Right – from the economist Dean Baker to the social scientist Arthur C Brooks, from Bernie Sanders to Donald Trump – addresses this breakdown of the labour market by advocating ‘full employment’, as if having a job is self-evidently a good thing, no matter how dangerous, demanding or demeaning it is. "

And, when you experiment with a job guarantee program and turn it into a basic income scheme you can see why:

http://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2012/04/randy-wray-the-job-gu...

The increasing “feminization” of the program (caused in part by economic recovery that pulled most men out of the program and into the private sector) proved to be a political problem. Government officials adopted the attitude that the program was providing jobs to “economically inactive” women who should be at home instead of working. I won’t go into the details (in part because I am not sufficiently familiar with them) but officials created an alternative scheme by which the remaining men would be moved into an unemployment program and the women would be moved into welfare. These moves were voluntary, but higher pay in either unemployment or welfare was the attraction that helped to gut the Jefes program. One of my PhD students continued to study participants as the program was reduced—and found that women would rationally take the higher pay in welfare but continue to work in their jobs (without pay) because they found substantial benefits in the social networks they had created through work. They also wanted to contribute to their communities.
