Just try considering all the old people communists, not deporting them, but also not paying them their benefits (however real or imaginary) and see where this goes. It would be uproar, and thus irrational. The case held that withholding benefits from Nestor wasn't irrational. Broadly doing to a whole population what was done to Nestor would hardly be rational, and certainly would not be smooth sailing.
Pretty cool thing I made. Can be boring, if its lots of Russian kids vlogging, but it's the only way I've found to see something 0.1ms old and YouTube themselves haven't even auto-deleted it yet. Twisted a couple APIs around...

Well, I just spent the the past hour or so installing Firefox, setting it up with my preferences/imported bookmarks/extensions, and uninstalling Chrome.

In the grand scheme of things, I know it probably won't make a difference, but I still recommend anyone else who is angry about this to do the same. It at least gives you some satisfaction in taking back a little bit of personal control from Google.
Donald Trump’s Shtick-Network Paradox
I'm not sure I understand where you're coming from as it assumes the exponential function will stop working in the near future.

I'm coming from the perspective that there is neither a short term nor long term plan to address the inevitable default of the US government, decades hence. We WILL either default, monetize, or sell federal land. Math won't stop working in my lifetime.
There is certainly room for discussion on the personal home exemptions to the asset test, I agree.
Wow, I would have guessed Irssi passed version 1.0.0 a long long time ago. I've been using it at least 10 years and it's a great and stable application.

I guess that goes to show how much I pay attention to versions.

> except by the most far-fetched and useless "everything is connected" kind of argument

Is it really so far-fetched or useless to project that there will be far reaching macroeconomic effects if Trump successfully implements any number of his stated policies? Sure, if you want to be optimistic you can hope the effects will be net positive, but that hope is at least as speculative as predicting that "winter is coming", so all we're left with is a high level of medium term uncertainty. Given that, it seems pretty strategically reasonable for a company (especially an over-leveraged one struggling to beat their VC clock) to reduce their risk exposure "because Trump".
You are right on. I learned a long time ago there is always more work and it always needs to be done last week. I work hard, but there is only so much a person can do. I'll put in extra time, but only when it really counts. Some deadlines were meant to be blown by and when you quit stressing yourself over things that are out of your control and focus on what you can do - life is better.
That's relevant to my interests!

I'd recommend you look for high-CRI LED bulbs – I've had similar reactions to yours but I'm satisfied with some of the better/higher CRI bulbs(color rendering index https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_rendering_index). They tend to be harder to find, but they're out there. GE Reveal bulbs are higher CRI, for example and I've found other brands through some specialty LED dealers that almost match halogen bulbs.

Want More Productivity? Be Careful What You Wish For
I think it's very good relevancy-wise. If you look on google for search engine, it's more likely that link to google.com is not helpful, since you already know of google.com, supposedly. How that is achieved though might be an interesting question.

OTOH, DDG is the second result for "search engine" on DDG :)
In any large engineering organization with a bunch of products each of which are large enough to need multiple teams, multiple bosses are inevitable. The issues and technology are just too complex for any single boss to manage everything. A typical agile team member might be accountable to a resource manager for HR type stuff, a Scrum Master for team tasks, a Product Owner for team priorities and requirements, and multiple component stewards for component technical integrity. The key is to align everyone to a common set of program goals and clearly delineate responsibilities between those various "bosses" to prevent conflicts and avoid excessive communication overhead.

A "no-matrix" structure might work in a small organization which has basically only a single product. In that case it's actually possible for a single competent boss to understand the customer, product, employees, and technology well enough to make good decisions.
Thanks for this comment it perfectly describes the way I felt when I watched Argo.
This was posted just a couple weeks ago and made it fairly high up the front page. I usually don't complain about reposts, but this seems excessively soon.
Can't see the full paper, just the abstract, but another thing I wondered if they took into account is the effect of strobing. They didn't include a control that doesn't strobe (such as halogen), since CFLs strobe in the kHz range. LEDs may or may not strobe depending on how they are driven and that isn't stated in the abstract.

It does however, seem much more likely that this is to do with extra energy in the UV end of the spectrum, which IIRC WW LEDs cut a lot more of (as well as the additional, visible blue light that makes CW seem so much brighter).

For comparison, typical artificial light levels in an office are more like 300 lux. IES recommended illuminance for a professional indoor basketball court is 1000 lux.

Daylight ranges up to 120,000 lux, so 6000 is several times the lighting in most spaces, but still nowhere near bright sunlight.

That said, from the abstract (I don't have journal access), it sounds like they found a result in both 24H high intensity, and in on/off "domestic levels".

Is the 6000 lux you mentioned their value for high intensity, or is that what they considered as domestic levels?

If the argument really boils down to "everyone else is doing it" or "that's what we've always done!" they should stop and apply some critical thinking.
I never switched from Firefox. It had more of the tools I needed and at the time, Chrome's plugins architecture didn't allow sidebars at all.

I also hate how Google took pieces of WebKit and Gecko and smooshed them together into a closed browser (which they only opened up later). Granted WebKit was gobbled up from KHTML, but at least Apple expanded on it and contributed back, at least initially.

From your description it sounds like thats the only time it makes sense, to me at least. Ie, the President should hopefully be working for the whole country, not just the most dense areas.

I guess another way to look at it is that the president is responsible for such a large area, that population is far less of a concern (in my view). S/he should know not to set laws that focus on a locality, because the states can do a far better job at that.

I don't want the president to set laws for me (just an example) focusing on people in downtown LA or NYC - i don't live there, my world is very different. I want my president to consider the whole country, and let the states/counties handle raw locality.

I'm also glad to see IRC still going strong. I much prefer IRC to StackExchange (not to diminish StackExchange, it's an amazing website) when looking for answers to questions. Not because I always get an answer, but when I do it's pretty quick and it's nice to have a direct conversation with the person who is helping.

In addition, there are a lot of nice little channels out there that are just fun to hang out in.
Adjusted gross income includes things like bonus and RSUs vested during the tax year, no? If that is the case then anyone starting straight out of college at a large tech company (Google, Facebook, Apple, etc.) will likely be above the phase out limits.

Makes sense. The heart wouldn't need to be as strong to circulate blood, and by extension not need to be as large or need as much nourishment either.
> Certainly true, but the fact that the line is fuzzy seems to me an indication that it wasn't drawn by God. Fuzziness is more characteristic of nature.

That seems like quite a leap to me, but even if we agree that there's an objective good and an objective bad, then there must be some standard for the good. I think that standard is God.

This isn't meant to be a proof (and it's very hand-wavy), but that's my intuition.

> Then you should read this...

Seems to be in the same vein and Dawkins, et al.: that we somehow evolved this moral intuition. I think that's a faulty position because of a simple thought experiment. Consider a universe where nothing evolved. For whatever reason, there was no Big Bang, and things just popped into existence. Would there be no morality in such a universe (because we didn't evolve it)? I find that very hard to believe.
That guy is in great shape! Hope I am still riding bikes at his age.
(I am one of the developers of Doorman). Some background, from osquery's site: "osquery allows you to easily ask questions about your Linux, Windows, and OS X infrastructure. Whether your goal is intrusion detection, infrastructure reliability, or compliance, osquery gives you the ability to empower and inform a broad set of organizations within your company."

I wrote Doorman as a way of utilizing osquery's TLS remoting endpoints, allowing me to dynamically configure an endpoint with custom queries, as well as run ad-hoc queries. We use osquery and Doorman at my company to gain visibility into our laptops in a manner many remote control based applications don't provide. Besides gaining remote administration functionality to osquery, we developed Doorman with a security-first attitude. We favor tools like osquery that don't expose remote command and control capabilities over tools like Chef or Puppet that concentrates super powers in the hands of a few people.

One of the stronger points of Doorman is it's builtin rules and alerting engine. It is one of the few security tools that I honestly can say I "set and forget" with respects to the rules we write. Want to know every time someone installs a new Chrome extension? All listening sockets on external interfaces, and the process name and user/group its owned by? New root certificate authorities added to the keychain? Done, all thanks to osquery introspection capabilities coupled with Doorman.

"Probably" see better results? I don't have, nor will I fetch for, the number of people who are solely reliant on SS, but my father is one of them. And he said the exact same words as you to me when I was a sprout. Now, after some bad decisions, and health issues as a direct result of long arduous work, he is glad to have that net.

Please, don't tell me about my duties as a son, I've supported two family members through cancer, simultaneously. If/when it comes to it, he will be taken care of by me & siblings. How about the millions? who don't have children able to care for them? The streets is it? More welfare? I'd love to hear about a more sustainable option that doesn't include 'probably'.
Yea, and many of us don't live in CA. The country is 50 states, of which the president should represent. If you want laws specialized for CA, pass them in CA. This is why federal should be staying out of local affairs in my book. Because the needs for CA and NY are drastically different than less populated areas.

There is no winning here. You either ignore the voice of CA or the voice of less populated states. You're arguing to ignore a voice, just the same as it is now.
Oh my a short term mismatch in the system; as if we can't make an adjustment. What would privatization of Social Security employ when the stock market crashes, which happens from time to time, to moderate the negative effects. In fact, moderation isn't good enough, it'd have to completely smooth away any negative effect for it to be even remotely tenable. Oh the old people have to move out of their apartment if they can't afford it now? Too bad?

> Yep, but that's not a biconditional. If morals are real, that doesn't necessarily mean good is real.

I don't see how you can think that. What's an example of a world with objective morality but no objective good?

> I think that's a very reductive position, and although analytically satisfying, it doesn't quite capture the intuitive meaning of "good" and "bad".

Evolutionary game theory ethics is what it's called. But yes, while it can explain natural facts about what we think is good and bad, it can't explain moral facts like what actually is good and bad. I highly recommend you read the paper I linked, because it covers a lot of ground and plenty of common objections against moral realism, even if you decide to stick with theism in the end.
I have mixed feelings. Yes, good on RMS for taking the high road and putting an end to this. On the other hand, it sets the precedent that screaming gets results. I don't like that, even in cases where I agree with the screaming.

Yellow cabs work when you hail it at point A and get dropped off at point B. Addresses are recorded but not the identity.

Uber cabs work when you request it at point A and get dropped off at point B. Addresses are recorded and the identity.

Yellow cabs share its data. All journeys along with their start, end coordinates. No identity issues as their platform could not record it.

Say if Uber cabs could share its data. All journeys along with their start, end coordinates. No need to share identity of the person associated with that journey.

Using Yellow cabs data set, if I have an address of my friend's place then I can figure out his journeys pattern when I see a frequency of his apartment address (minus the home number) either by data crunching around his address or the nearest corner intersection where he can potentially hail a cab.

I really don't see what's a huge deal here, unless Uber really does not want to expose its $ amount for a variety of reasons that I don't want to get into. Uber can strip off identity data, they can even strip off building numbers by normalizing pinpointed building numbers to nearest intersections. Sure every place can not have a nearest intersection. In that case, provide macro geo-information for the neighborhood. Trust me, every address has a nearby intersection in the city of New York.

Honestly asking: do you know if there are any protections in place to prevent Roths from becoming taxed on withdrawal in the future?
Agreed. There is a fantastic quote from the early pages of History;

"There is, however, a more general argument against reverence, whether for the Greeks or for anyone else. In studying a philosopher, the right attitude is neither reverence nor contempt, but first a kind of hypothetical sympathy, until it is possible to know what it feels like to believe in his theories, and only then a revival of the critical attitude, which should resemble, as far as possible, the state of mind of a person abandoning opinions which he has hitherto held. Contempt interferes with the first part of this process, and reverence with the second. Two things are to be remembered: that a man whose opinions and theories are worth studying may be presumed to have had some intelligence, but that no man is likely to have arrived at complete and final truth on any subject whatever. When an intelligent man expresses a view which seems to us obviously absurd, we should not attempt to prove that it is somehow true, but we should try to understand how it ever came to seem true. This exercise of historical and psychological imagination at once enlarges the scope of our thinking, and helps us to realize how foolish many of our own cherished prejudices will seem to an age which has a different temper of mind."

>I'm not sure I understand this sentence. It is an undisputed fact that the proportions of sex, race, etc. in tech are not reflective of the population at large, yes. But I'm not sure how this means that certain groups are less qualified.

The question you were answering was "On average, do some races/genders make better tech workers than others?". the answer is, yes some races/genders are more qualified to work in tech than other races/genders because on average, they are more likely to spend the time to become qualified (see college and CS major demographics) and to gain CS knowledge. That is why the tech field skews toward a gender or race over others. Because some races/genders are literally more qualified for tech work than others.

No company is "skipping qualified candidates" because female and underrepresented minorities have not spent the time to become qualified to work in the tech field. They are, on average, literally less qualified to work in the tech field, given their current, average CS and programming knowledge.

>There is less good reason to believe an inherent biological bias; citing unequal representation is also not an adequate proof of biological differences.

Denying that sexism/discrimination against minorities is the cause of unequal representation is not the same as saying that the cause is biological differences. Some easy explanations for unequal representation could be society's pressure on men to make money, Asian/White parents' pressure on kids to do well, etc.

Unequal representation is not enough to prove racism/sexism against females and URMs.
Some of that is very strong on the cringe.
