> who has empowered the Government to actively manage economic cycles

The common good. Economic uncertainty, like political uncertainty, makes it hard for a society to plan, budget and invest.

A stable currency, low inflation, enforcement of property / contract law and political stability enable commercial activity.

Constant was a man of his time and the Reign of Terror - the despotic abuse of power - was a tragedy. How this is relavent to modern economic management and why Constant should be relevant today (he advocated a monarchical republic, a monarchy? today?) in such very different times would be interesting to hear.

I don't do social media at all. I don't even have a facebook or twitter account. This looks useful (something I would pay for), but I need to take a closer look at it.
Isn't "fake news" and "white nationalism" mainly a smear used by the MSM (who are mostly on the loosing side of this election) against Breitbart?
Towards the end of the article, the author says this: "The point isn’t that physics is wrong, nor is the point that the Eagleworks team is wrong. The point is that this is the beginning stages of actual science being done to examine an effect. The most likely outcome is that momentum really is conserved and there’s something funny going on here."
In theory, one should take a look at web.py and flask first.. It will teach essentialism and minimalism (web.py) and doing the right thing in a right way (all of them and Python in general).

If anything, the precursor to the ministry of truth is a political figure making it clearer than ever that coverage he doesn't like will be severely punished. Not just by loss of access, but by lawsuits and changes to the law.

It's hardly new that news organizations have to be a bit friendly to anyone they cover in order to preserve access. I cannot waltz into the White House press room and expect equal access, no matter how fair and intelligent my non-existent media empire is.

But the scope and severity we have been promised is an order of magnitude worse.
Who even makes that a security question? I mean seriously. You might as well ask "What is your opinion on the color yellow?"

I've been amazed by how many people still dismiss BuzzFeed entirely and aren't aware of BuzzFeed News or their investigative team. It really goes to show that first impressions last, and people use them as consumption heuristics.
Ah yes. Any contradictory discretion is immediately escalated to "thought control by the government."

It's curious how many forms this "equal time" complaint comes in, but it's almost universally used as a bludgeon to imply that left-leaning news has an obligation to offer a platform for all sorts of things.

I'd like equal time on Rush Limbaugh's show to talk about how health care should be socialized. I think I have a cogent case that would demand scrutiny and be convincing to his audience. Will you help me petition for time there? I'll of course expect his advertising revenue for the time there (who works for free on this day and age?)!
So all we have to do to silence someone is say they're a neo-nazi? Breitbart has strongly and repeatedly denied any association with hate, bigotry, neo-nazis, etc.

Incidentally, Breitbart himself was Jewish, as is the CEO. Neo-nazi seems a particularly bizarre term to apply especially given for a site that was specifically started by Breitbart and Solov to be pro-Israel.

My personal system of ethics is such that were I to run a service I would specifically ban some groups, organisations or uses from it, eg. peddlers or enablers of child pornography, Nazis, people engaging in deceitful propaganda to the detriment of society etc.

Organisations such as the daily mail, breitbart, anyone describing themselves as "alt-right" and more would be included in this. I'm not preventing you from doing the thing you want to do, I'm just not allowing it on my platform.
You're advocating for censoring a source with a better track record than, say, buzzfeed which should by your standard also be censored.

Rather than taking your opinion of Breitbart from the companies who stand to profit from the destruction of their competition, take a look at their front page right now and find just one example of fake news. Feel free to post your findings here.

The argument that "these words are too dangerous to be in the hands of the masses" is the same one used to justify the book burnings in WWII and similar thought policing throughout history.

Gerrymandering, lack of house/senate seats for DC, even the 2 senators per state, are all kind of baked into the process. I don't see how we can 'strengthen' things without at a minimum changing the constitution and frankly good luck with that. So, at best people are trying to insure a rigged system operates as intended.

Anyway, I don't think an unbiased look at the vote suggests a strong desire for a strongman. Losing the popular vote may not be particularly meaningful as people obtain in very blue or red states because it's kind of pointless. However, polling suggest he revived a lot of votes in opposition to Hillary instead of for him.

PS: It's going to be really interesting when he is up for reelection, but that's not going to somehow fix the system.
> Nobody is talking about the bias being spontaneous. It is chronic and cultural.

It's very counterintuitive that police officers around the country would have a homogeneous culture that diverges so strongly from the cultures of the diverse communities from which they come and in which they live and in which they work.

It's necessarily "spontaneous" that police officers around the country coming from diverse backgrounds and living and working in diverse communities would spontaneously adopt a culture that biases them against one race in particular, especially when many of those officers are of that same race.

I'm curious about this too. A cursory search showed a couple of Politifact articles, one where Breitbart incorrectly said the Californian flag was supposed to be a pear, not a bear, and another where they mistakenly said that Loretta Lynch was a member of Bill Clinton's defense team.

My suspicion is that the people trying to muzzle Breitbart have never read it extensively. It has a very obvious conservative slant to it, but I've never seen flagrantly false articles by them (like the one claiming that Trump actually won the popular vote).

Breitbart isn't a white nationalist news source. Bannon might be an asshole but I urge you to judge it by the content on the site. I don't agree with most of it but I support their right to post truthful content and editorials as they wish.
A prior article from a legitimate news source, New York Magazine, saying that the claim was raised as a possibility by leading experts in the field, was for some reason suppressed from HN's front page:

EDIT: Currently this comment has 1 point, is 13 minutes old, yet is somehow at the very bottom of the discussion. C'mon guys; that feels like an inconsiderate, combative response to a reasonable question. Why not just be open about it and make a comment?
Is it more frightening to think that stories will be judged based on their source, or frightening to note how many people believe false news stories to be true?

The real problem is one nobody talks about. News today is driven by advertising revenue. That revenue is driven by clicks. Clicks are driven by headlines that cause people to click. Headlines that outrage people do that more effectively. Truth does not enter into it.

Therefore advertising driven news has a natural tendency towards exaggeration, and then eventually making stuff up. With new stuff hitting emotional buttons established by the old. And once we've seen the same themes over and over again, they become believable to us no matter what the facts may be.

This was what caused the "yellow press" to be what it was a century ago. It remained so until The New York Times established a subscription model for news that actually rewarded verifiable facts. That subscription model has now broken down, and we are back to the yellow press again. :-(
> There is no such thing as a boom bust cycle.

Right. When everyone from Marxists to Keynesians to neo liberals agree that there is such a thing as a business cycle (even if they may not agree on the causes or how to manage the cycle), then I guess you may be using a definition that is different to everyone elses.
I read in an answer of yours that you're learning Python. I learned Ruby myself with Rails in 2005 because I had no other reason to use Ruby back then. Rails was a much lighter framework than Django is now. I would recommend to start with something very lightweight, get the gist of it and move on to Web2py or Django.

What you're looking for could be Flask or even something simpler like

https://docs.python.org/2/library/simplehttpserver.html

or its Python3 version

https://docs.python.org/3/library/http.server.html

Now, about Django...

I inherited a Django project and after a few months working on it I wouldn't start a project of mine with it. Obviously customers can ask me to do anything :-)

Disclaimer: I might be biased against it because I don't like Python much (it looks like a badly engineered Ruby, and probably the other way around if you like Python, no bad feelings).

First problem: coming from 10 years of Rails, Django is very weakly opinionated, so you can arrange the project as you want, name the db fields as you want, etc. This is not as bad as having no framework or using Flask, but a developer joining a project might have to spend time to get familiar with the general structure of it (and the bill for the customer keeps growing, so the chances he won't be happy).

Second problem: it doesn't import automatically every model and module. It gets tiresome to do that in every file and in the shell (and the bill...) This is not a language thing because Ruby has to import modules too but somewhat Rails works around that. Surprisingly it raised problems for me only a couple of times. The sum of the time lost with Python in the last few months is greater than the one I lost in Rails because of that.

Third: the templating language is not Python but some crippled down language. Somewhat people still manage to write nice code with Web2py which uses full Python in the templates. Rails too. Why not Django? More time lost to learn one more thing.

Web2py is an alternative but it has its share of problems: the first two of Django plus a very risky approach at migrations which are automatically enforced as soon as you run the code. If there is a way to turn that off and you really like Python or have to work with it, look at Web2py.

About the nice points, it's got everything that it has to be taken for granted in a past 2005 web framework: tests, migrations, ORM. It doesn't miss any particular feature, it's got a big community so it's a safe choice and I won't steer customers away from it.
Windows Containers only went GA fairly recently with Windows Server 2016, so it is unlikely that many are using them yet. I have yet to see any CI services that mention any plans to support windows containers or acknowledge their existence.
The act of physically counting ballots in community halls by people that care about participating in democracy is something lost with all electronic everything. The count used to bring people together in an event that you could watch or help out in. Many eyes ensured the count was good. Plus the hours would be late evening, so the count passed as a sociable event to some extent, certainly something would happen so not a dull evening.

We should have a paper count for the community aspect even if the vote disappoints those concerned, e.g because it is between a spokesperson for the arms trade and a reality TV host.

Guys, to both the parent and grandparent, please do not throw out word like that haphazardly. Even if you know what Bohmian mechanics or vacuum virtual particles actually means, you are just spreading rumors at this point, unless you try to define those terms.

About virtual particles: First of all, the virtual particle picture is a useful picture to build intuition, the math behind it is not as simple as the picture implies. Second, no, just pushing on the virtual particles is not a magical way to save conservation of momentum - where does that momentum go after those virtual particles re-annihilate for instance?

About Bohmian mechanics: How do you even reach that conclusion? This is a really wild claim, that can not be taken seriously without any argument. Bohmian mechanics already has philosophical problems (stemming from computation theory, c.f. some of Aaronson's writing) even if mathematically it is equivalent to QM in the case of a single particle. But look at how ugly its generalization to multiple particles looks like (I do concede, ugliness is not the best guide, but it is something to consider when searching for a good description of nature).
Besides the points raised by other two commenters, the difference is also that capital gains (i.e. income from liquidating capital) is often taxed at different (lower) rates than job income. I think that't patently absurd, but I guess our world works according to the "might is right" principle.
There is a definition of neoliberalism that has stuck with me: "neoliberalism is optimising for the wrong thing because it is the only one that we know how to measure". I.e. we built a system that maximises shareholder returns because those are easy to account for, damaging far more important social institutions along the way.
It's not really deprecated, but it's so old and cumbersome and unsupported that the MDN page says "it is better to continue to consider this feature as deprecated and going away."

While downvoted for its lack of substance, the parent post does really capture the heart of the matter. Microsoft (or any other for-profit company, really) as an organization does not think in terms of being a friend or enemy of open source; that's a fiction projected upon it by people fixated on the idea of open source as a ideology (e.g. RMS) instead of a tool (e.g. Linus Torvalds). To paraphrase the famous quote by de Gaulle: "Corporations have no friends, only interests."[0]. Microsoft thinks in terms of "In this specific situation, do we make more revenue by cooperating with open source or by competing with open source?" and that decision is made on a team-by-team and product-by-product basis. On this basis, it's easy to see why they continue to work to get revenue from their patent portfolio while still doing things favorable to open source elsewhere.

>Like all the mainstream press that called it for Hillary for months before the election?

This is a misunderstanding of what was statistically probable. It's extremely unfair to say that the "mainstream press" called it for Hillary, when it was always going to come down to key battleground states. The exit polls weren't even wrong, it was just an astoundingly low voter turnout: and there could be many reasons for this, that's irrelevant to the topic at hand.

What you see now though, is most news sources trying to explain how the election turned out the way it did. You see them investigating actual facts and figures, and sometimes even taking a retrospective look at their own articles! Show me one Breitbart article that takes a retrospective about "what went wrong" or one time Breitbart issued a bonafide correction to an article they published.
