No, saying that an issue is for the states to decide is simply acknowledging that US citizens are individuals, and they know better than the Federal government what they want. Regulation at the Federal level removes choice and freedom.

God bless you both but I could never do this. Life is hard enough without your partner making things that should be easy difficult.

I was with someone like this for years in my 20s and it eventually became unbearable. At some level, "I have anxiety" starts to feel like an excuse, not that the person can control it exactly, but we all have the ability to tell which of the thoughts occur to us are good ones worth listening to and which aren't. I became resentful of how, for example, a nice vacation would be ruined over worrying about a lingering bill for $50 or whatever. It's really hard to be around someone like that long term and still feel like they make you happy and that your life is better with them in it, when it so clearly is materially not better. It's like all the color drains away from life and why bother doing fun stuff since it'll just get ruined anyway?

I think Apple is missing out on both a lot of goodwill but also overall progress of their Unix core by being so closed.

Instead they should actively contribute source-code to the BSD-ecosystem. Apple has a lot to gain long-term from the BSD-ecosystem being healthy.

Also, the whole Hackintosh thing is completely overblown. So what if some intrepid coder gets it running on a non-apple machine. It won't affect their sales the tiniest bit.
That's really not a fair comparison. What they are saying is actually:

1) "We can't automate the stopping of fake news without hiring an army of trained human censors"

2) "Although since China already has an army of trained censors, it'd be easy to fix stuff for them with an API"

Edit, forgot to save, sorry:

The implication on #1 there is that for Facebook the cost is not worth it. Whether or not you agree with that is fine, but it's incredibly unfair to call it the same problem as China's censorship. It would cost Facebook something like $2-4 billion per year in labor to deploy a similar solution for just the united States

Also I meant to make a point about how renewables have access to a much larger market than fossil fuels. Because big funds are divesting, because countries are banning them. There is a bigger market on the demand side for renewables because of the scaling. The market is also a lot bigger on the supply side because less capital is needed to supply renewable power.

Also the big advanced tech countries (Germany, China, Japan) are switching off producing fossil fuel using technology. Which will result in the prices for this type of technology increasing, and more advancements going into renewables.

Respectfully, the first article does not refute a single statement in the post you're replying to, which was about the historical reason for the electoral college. It merely justifies the electoral college from first principles in a modern context. It even says as much in its title.

The second article also fails to refute anything I've said. A direct vote was ruled out because of slavery -- the article says nothing about that. Once a direct vote was was ruled out, Federalist 68 basically explains why you'd want a college over the competing alternatives.

But the key move is ruling out direct democracy, not preferring one among the N bad alternatives. And the article never explains why a direct vote would've been ruled out. It's painfully clear what the reason for doing so was.

But why? Besides from actual rallies, appearances, etc, which I doubt have a very significant effect on people's votes (people only go to the rallies of their preferred candidates), there is no reason to target people in big cities. Given that most campaigning happens online or through the media at this point, there is no reason to restrict yourself to geographical areas.

I have done something similar. Go to the mall because I need clothes, walk in the door, do a lap around the store, walk out and go home. I know it is ridiculous but in my head it just feels like everyone is watching me, judging me based on what I am looking at. So I just don't even look at anything. I know that isn't true when I'm sitting at home but the second I arrive the anxiety kicks into high gear. It is very frustrating sometimes. I've noticed that I don't seem to get so anxious when grocery shopping or shopping for something I know a little about. Clothing is just so out of my element that I feel like a fool and have a hard time relaxing.
4% return above inflation and taxes is a bit optimistic long-term, but otherwise this is correct. However where you stand depends on where you sit. Many other factor have to be "priced in" and the prices are dependent on what's important to you.

Eg, factor in equity (after 15-30 years of mortgage you own a condo), valuation (in 15-30 years that condo will be worth more than 1.5M), risk (...unless that condo sinks into the mud!), finance (you can borrow 1.5M to buy a condo but you can't borrow 1.5M to invest and rent), and flexibility (you can move out of a rental more easily then selling a condo).

Well, surely you don't mean that the people receiving the bad messages should have to read them, because of course you agree that they don't have to look at twitter at all. But, why would it be important to require them to see these in order to see other posts on twitter, if they only want to see the other ones.

So, I don't see what the problem would be in providing the users with an opt-in filter option. If they are concerned that it could put them in a filter bubble, they could just not enable it, and if they are not concerned about the possibility of a filter bubble, and find the bad messages unpleasant, they could enable it. This would all just be following user choice.

Yes, if the features you give people for filtering messages are set up in certain ways, they may make it a bit easier than would be best for users to create filter bubbles for themselves, but it would at least be the user's own choice. As long as someone who wants to not get in a filter bubble can reasonably avoid it, then it seems like that's good enough on that front to me.

edit: Ideally, I think, the user would be able to fine tune the filters that they choose to use, and the simplest options would be such that they do not cause much of a filter bubble. But I think to really respect user freedom, allowing the user to create a filter bubble for themself (perhaps using 3rd party tools) is maybe necessary?
Interesting that the lead photo[0] also shows Salesforce East (formerly Salesforce Plaza, 350 Mission) also sinking at a similar rate.

Fair point, but worth noting that they could fail for many reasons that have nothing to do with your central thesis.
The UK and Canada are not republics. There's no need to clarify "pure democracy"as no one thinks any modern democratic country is a pure democracy. All modern democracies are representative democracies.

Since there is, more or less, no other type of democracy around when a colloquial English speaker says "democracy" they mean representative democracy. Everything else is a pointless annoying semantic game.

Representative democracy is a perfectly acceptable term. Trying to shoehorn monarchies into the term "republic" is absurd.
The question is (or at least, soon will be) not whether a Trump administration has any particular animus regarding net neutrality, but whether the government will even have sufficient power to substantially dictate the direction of the particulars of the internet at all.

And the answer is, with increasing clarity, "no."
Probably.

Trump has announced two appointments to the FCC, Jeffrey Eisenach and Mark Jamison.[1] Eisenach has a paper arguing that ISP's should not be subject to any antitrust regulation.[2] Mark Jameson wants to abolish the FCC.[3] "Telecommunications network providers and ISPs are rarely, if ever, monopolies", he's written.

The number of people online, the level of engagement, and the money being made in online advertising, is unprecedented. I don't know what impact it had on the election, but it was definitely something that has attracted more attention due to the campaigns. It's not unusual for a problem that has existed for a relatively long-time to suddenly come to the attention of the legislature when it rises in prominence.
I've implemented both in a typical SaaS app.

Braintree first, because it was the only option, and then Stripe because we were eager to get away from Braintree.

In short, Braintree was very painful to implement and run, while Stripe has been both easier to implement and operate.

Even with the sunk-cost of a working Braintree implementation it was an easy choice to switch to Stripe.
Just a narrative being peddled [0]. The mainstream media lost their grip on "the people" so now need to brand anything that isn't themselves as "fake news". Google Trends shows how blatantly obvious the narrative crafting is. It's only suddenly an issue because the MSM needs it to be. So within a very short amount of time you see MSM like the NYT or WaPo posting articles about 'Fake News' and getting everyone to start talking about it.

The seller followup emails are one of the more annoying day to day things I've noticed needing to deal with more with the shift to third party listings. I completely understand why they send them, because it is the best way to encourage reviews, but on a given eclectic order I may end up with 5 emails from different sellers.
You should provide numbers, not anecdotes. As the number of third party vendors grows, the long tail of bad vendors will fill itself out. That is not evidence that the mean/median experience has gotten worse.

>when you tell them that it's in fact voluntary, but compulsory they tend to downplay it and wonder why you just don't stop

It sounds like you should find another way to explain things. "Voluntary" and "compulsory" are in their usual meanings contradictory, muutually exclusive, impossible for one action to be both. So it's no wonder that people get confused when you tell them it's "voluntary". I understand what you experience may be hard to put into words, but maybe you could find some way that at least avoids this confusion.
Also would like to know more. I've been waiting for months to test it out but never get any more updates.
The situation could be considered similar to .NET adding the IllegalCrossThreadException exception to Windows Forms in v2¹, defaulting to detecting invalid behavior with the option to disable checking (Control.CheckForIllegalCrossThreadCalls).

.NET v4.5 introduced a new approach (Task-based Asynchronous Pattern)² with changes to framework and language (C#5) to "simplify" implementing things correctly.

.NET took the developer-friendly path; Cassandra, not yet.

>A lot of founding fathers would've preferred a direct vote. See for example Anti Federalist 72. Using google you can also find quotes from Madison, for example, arguing that a direct vote would obviously be best.

Although true, this is true as a point in time statement. In the end, they were convinced of the alternative argument.
Out of curiosity doesn't this just mean the user access token and user access secret are in plaintext? Aren't those useless without the app token/secret -- so if the app is encrypted and you can't run strings to get those your only vector of attack is still through the app itself right? I'm not a security expert.

But I would even go further; as to the house specifically and not the election of the president, you have inner state politics affecting the house and the distracting process. ie. Gerrymandering.

In my opinion, we are not seeing red states and blue states (or purple state), we have urban/suburban/rural interests all competing for resources. Keep in mind, now a days, we typically relate urban with democrats and suburban/rural with republicans, but this is not always the case, and sometimes a bit too simplistic.

In a state like North Carolina for instance, the state legislature is run by the republican party, which has the power on how each US house seat is redistricted. I would argue that NC rural interests have much more power than NC urban interests at the state legislature level. This then also gets mirrored in the US Congressional redistricting, where the US Congressmen for cities like Charlotte are geographically divided to give Charlotte as little Congressional power as possible. (For instance, the Congressman for the NC 9th district was in fact essentially the Congressman for just South Charlotte and a few outlying suburbs, his seat has been spread out to a small part of South Charlotte and 3 or 4 very rural counties. This means that he can no longer solely lobby for South Charlotte's interests, but now has a "split" constituency (suburban vs. rural with different needs/wants. Think of it as a majority minority style district for rural areas). I would argue that this means that Charlotte's interests are in part superseded by small rural county interests, which once again, (unfairly?) gives more political power to lower density areas than larger density areas.

(Keep in mind, the above is all my own opinions and arguments, in currently lacking in hard evidence (such as the NC legislature intentionally split the 9th district to deny power to Charlotte) and relies on a few assumptions. So take it with a grain of salt, though I stand by my analysis.)

TL;DR; Even in states with a somewhat equal rural/urban divde, some states give more power to rural areas than urban areas by gerrymandering.
