Ehhhh. The difference, to me, is that the conservative moment defines rigidly what is Acceptable Thought in a way that I really do not think is true on the other side of the fence. I don't have to agree that nuclear power is dangerous (it's not!) to be a "liberal in good standing". I don't have to agree that GMOs are dangerous (they're not!). I don't have to think positively of GreenPeace (and boy, do I not!). We are able to have a dialogue about these things internal to our own camp and even disagree with each other with at least some assumption of good faith. And that's really super-duper important.

On the other hand, a Republican Congressman in Ohio who went on record as acknowledging that climate change is real and is happening would be primaried by his own party. There are things about which a Democrat would be primaried by his or her own party...but I think they'd be more like "attending a Klan rally" than "accepts that scientific consensus means things," and so we're talking differences in kind here, not merely degree.
The idea that conservatives should be represented in academia is a kind of a affirmative action, ironically - but for a group that has great power in the nation and world, not an oppressed one.

The test in academia should be not ideology, but whether your theories withstand scrutiny. Should environmental science departments hire climate change deniers, for ideological diversity? Should biology departments hire creationists? Should political science and history departments hire people who say Saddam Hussein had WMD and Obama is Kenyan?
Another interesting biological result at Chernobyl is not mutation, but simply natural selection: Radiotrophic Fungus.

Fungus that is essentially using "photosynthesis" of gamma radiation from the melted core instead of sunlight to grow.

Our health insurance - an important part of our welfare system - started out as a guild benefit for workers, then it were a part of unions and finally something on a national level (I skipped a few steps).

The absolutely must have part is "solidarity". What does that even mean? It means you feel part of something tight where you owe the others, in that "something", your help and compassion, even financially.

Ethnic homogeneity isn't needed, but solidarity is. It is a feeling nurtured and grown over many years and it is easily broken if abused. It requires eternal vigilance, to keep that feeling of "we owe each other" alive despite all the distrust.

It is a constant battle against unpleasant emotions and real abuse, and you need to pick the fight in a way that ensures that you can win it. Denmark is almost too big to keep that alive.
I'd be much more concerned for the future of the species when folks that can make the no children choice actually make it. It's not going to help with overpopulation. It's just going to shift the demographics to something unsustainable.
> not an actual freedom from memory-born vulnerabilities

"Memory-born vulnerabilities" sounds like a broad term, and if it includes DOS issues then Rust code is as vulnerable as anything else. But it's worth being precise: Rust's security model is about preventing undefined behavior.

If you have an out-of-bounds array write in C, that could do anything to the program. But in safe Rust code, all it can do is panic. Like you said, that's not necessarily any different from a DOS point of view, but it rules out a huge class of remote-code-execution bugs and leaks like Heartbleed. Of course it's still possible to write bugs and leak something you didn't mean to leak, but it shouldn't be possible to do that in a totally unrelated part of your process, and that's a big deal.
I'm afraid that you are only fooling yourself.

Plainly I don't think it should be illegal, I was a medicinal marijuana patient for many years, as I said elsewhere in these comments. I don't think that a mother making cannabis cookies and eating bits of them to observe the effects, determine strain and dosage for her child is appropriate. Frankly that's embarrassing behavior for a college professor, somebody who ought to know better. If you're going to give a 9 year-old an MMJ recommendation/prescription, everything besides dose delivery should be managed exclusively by a doctor.

Outright prohibition isn't the answer, but the scatter shot of substitutes aren't correct either. Don't look for me to recommend the solution, I simply took issue with the Washington Post carrying this opinion piece which, frankly, glamorizes dangerous behavior.

And it's bullshit that you put words in my mouth. I never said cannabis should be illegal. "Trolling", really? Is that a byword for disagreement now? Please go harangue your DEA strawman somewhere else.
Get rid of these catch all groups. Reality is not binary.

There's nothing stopping a climate change scientist from being fiscally conservative or religiously oriented, there's plenty of room in America for pro-gun pro-choice advocates, or other amalgamations of thought...

Similarly, there are plenty of pro-gun rights liberals, Christian pro-choice activists, and anti-globalist pro-spending liberals...

Americans need to focus on policies, not parties.

The problem isn't liberal colleges or disconnected rural districts... it's the simplified "us vs them" mentality, the complete disregard for policy nuance and critical thinking.

"The Republican candidate" is, as regrettable as that is, correct. Question of fact, not of norms. Normalizing as "the conservative candidate" would get my dander up, because he's not.

If you were to then suggest that Republicans are not conservative--well, duh. ;)
The points about incarceration and suicide are true however these are gendered expectations enforced by the patriarchy (men must not have emotions, men can "take" punishment) and also issues that a lot of feminists are concerned about. The shorter lives point has a number of causes one of which seems to be testosterone which is of course unfortunate.

As for the tax burden and family court rights though those are less objective and I suspect the tax burden is correlated with income which would suggest that men have higher incomes on average than women if what you say is true.
I know there are many systems in Europe, with many differences. Most of them are still better than what we've got in the United States, excepting maybe a few states that are known as "progressive" for having basic standards in line with the rest of the OECD.

For instance, in Massachusetts, employers are required to give each full-time worker five sick-days off each year, we have a state-level health-care law so that MassHealth will still operate if/when the federal Obamacare system is repealed, and we raised the minimum wage to $11/hour. There is still no paid family-leave law, no minimum amount of holiday/PTO, and unions still have a hard time expanding here.

For this, we're considered the most left-wing state in the Union, except maybe California.

This is just plain silly.

I think short term you are happier without kids, no question. However long term kids can[not] add significantly more meaning, purpose and joy to your life. What they do, in my experience, is expand the range of emotions you are capable of experiencing. That means they can make your life the worst hell, give you the worst emotional pain available (death of child, bad actions of child, financial, medical, etc). But the inverse is also true.

That being said I did not want to be a father, I did everything I could to try and stop it ( including recommending an abortion) I was immature and loved my life the way it was, and was totally happy keeping things the same.

The first year was really hard and a huge adjustment. As it is coming up on my daughter's birthday (coincidencly a day after mine) all I can say is that she is the love of my life and brings me more happiness than I every thought possible. She is the best antidepressant, cheerful, beautiful and everything I never knew I needed. I wouldn't trade all the pain and heartache she brought for anything.

You can be happy with or without kids. But you have the possibility of much different type of happyness with kids
Where I'm it goes down to about -5C in wintertime (-4C ATM). I'm actually fine with it.

Certainly in rural areas and in wider peripheral suburban areas public transport is less useful. But in actual cities (London, Paris, Istanbul, etc.) with a high density of people and their residences, public transport is the way to go. I don't know much about American cities, but if we got a comprehensive and functional system of metros, buses and boats here in Istanbul, where some of you would classify as a part of the third world, I guess you are capable of doing it in the US too.
> The sudden obsession with "fake news" started last November after the election

That's not what I saw. There was plenty of coverage before that of the tidal wave of false information. In fact, fact-checking Trump's statements was a major issue and frequently reported.
The US and the EU were founded on very very different principals.

The EU started as a trade agreement and when the EU was officially founded one of the founding principals was that it would never attempt to supersede or replace national sovereignty, which has clearly not been the case for the past decade if not longer.

The EU also has fundamental flaws in it's institution and probably the worse monetary institution currently in existence which is the ECB.

The EU needs to either scale back and go back to it's trade agreement roots or stop pretending it's not a quasi federation and just go on with it.

Agreed. And it's by no means the first such example.

However, the numbers are based on unique visitors to a range of websites. The variation might reflect a wide variation in web accesses from different operating systems (though I doubt it), but it doesn't directly measure the installed base.

also frustratingly tainted my association with shakespeare since whenever someone talks about academic shakespeare i immediately want to monologue

>What if, for whatever reason, ethnic group A subsidizes B's existence? This difference will damage the social cohesion necessary for a welfare state to exist. In the real world, we observe huge group differences in productivity, educational attainment, conscientiousness, fecundity, and other characteristics, and in the real world, we see that mixing groups does indeed damage social cohesion. I understand that this observation is unpopular --- but this unpopularity doesn't make it wrong.

If wishes were fishes, I'd order a plate of chips. You're proposing we ask a "what if" question without tying it to reality.

>The test in academia should be not ideology, but whether your theories withstand scrutiny.

Any what do you do, hypothetically speaking, if this requirement keeps out a large proportion of a specific ideological group, or if the process of science changes the views of individuals of that group, to the point where they leave it? And, what if, said ideological group is unwilling to accept that?
> The 'real news' networks barely covered any of the DNC leaks

That is not true at all. Fox covered it heavily, as far as I know; the New York Times and Washington Post both seemed to publish a new articles on the topic daily; CNN seemed to cover it heavily. Who didn't cover that story?
There is so much going on today that makes me fearful for the existential future of humanity: climate change, nuclear weapons, resource depletion, artificial intelligence, to name a few.

But strangely enough, a ticking cosmic countdown makes me feel oddly at peace with an ultimate future of extinction. I can only hope that the end of humanity will not be wrought by its own hands.

Makes me want to enjoy my time alive more, with the people I care about.

I would have trouble justifying a rewrite in a new language for my job if it provided little or no benefits.

However, if something can be improved there is no reason to not improve it, if that is what the goal is. Perhaps changing the source language integrates it better into their ecosystem. It may not work, be justifiable, or have inherent value for you or me, but it works for them. To each their own.

It is possible a rewrite in F# could help you, down the road, to add features faster than in C#. This could be a benefit to your users (shiny new useful feature) and management (revenue). So the discussion for moving to a new X involves showing benefit from the perspective of the company and not our personal wants. How do you mitigate risk? Perhaps start with internal tools, where you have to mimic a lot of the real business objects, and validate speed of feature (for the tools) development. You will get familiarity with your data and F#, independent of the user facing production code and come up with a better understanding of risk.
Purported legitimacy is another big thing that troubles me. I remember "not my President" getting some nontrivial shit when liberals employed it about George W. Bush. (I threw some of it.) I do not remember the same sort of "unpatriotic", "treasonous" rhetoric employed when the Republicans did the same thing in 2008. I do not remember birtherism being considered unpatriotic, either.

"The only legitimate government is a Republican government" is reason enough to fear.
> Is it a good reason to get rid of the benefits of solving the worst 50% of problems ?

Again, not for images. I believe the real reason is different, Rust people simply want to have an image library in its ecosystem, just like Go. Nothing wrong with that goal, makes it more appealing to new users. But that's it.
Agree with you otherwise, but

Still, I will say that the U.S. has important things the EU doesn't: Everyone speaks English and everyone identifies as "American" before they identify as "Texan" or "Seattlite."

Neither is true. That example is probably opposite of your intended meaning.

edit: for downvoters, what is so wrong with this statement? You can find hundreds of thousands of people within the country that don't speak English.You couldn't make that second statement if you grew up in Texas.

That's all I'm saying. Wish people would engage instead of silently downvoting.
This is the base rate fallacy.
bhups, I don't think you've thought about the implications of this:

"The United States is a federation of self-governing states within which there are open borders and free trade"

The point is, it is rather easy for a wealthy person to move to a low tax state. I've known several retired people who picked a particular state as their new home, once they had retired. And corporations do this all the time -- they move from one state to another so they can be in the state where they can pay the least in taxes. This limits our ability in the USA to impose the taxes necessary for a healthy set of social safety programs. Let's think about this as engineers -- if we see a system of pipes, and there is a leak in one of the pipes, what would we do? In the short term, we would plug that leak. In the long-term, we would ask "Can this system be streamlined so there are less pipes, and therefore less things that can leak?" That line of reasoning has lead me to conclude that we should amend the Constitution in the USA, abolishing all local and state governments, and concentrating all power in the national government. That would allow the government to impose the taxes necessary to give the country the kind of broad social programs that European countries already enjoy.

> I don't think it's politically possible to create a strong welfare state in a country populated by identifiable groups with differing socioeconomic contributions to the common good.

Maybe I misunderstand you, but strong welfare states exist, and they have always had groups with different socioeconomic contributions.

Denmark has always been a nation with strong cultural differences to the point where people simply cannot understand each other's dialects, there were poor areas, rich areas and so on and so forth.

Didn't know that feature. Thanks!
I tried these, which stem from the given example:

"I'm going to store" gets corrected to "I'm going to the store" (looks good)

"I'm going to store food" gets corrected to "I'm going to the store store" (I'll forgive this due to lack of a prepositional phrase)

"I'm going to store food in the closet" gets corrected to "I'm going to the store food in the closet" (yeah, this is wrong)

It seems like the AI is good at fixing sentences where adding a missing "the" is the solution. So when that does turn out to be the solution, it works fine. When that isn't the solution, well, when all you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail...

Still really interesting, though. The AI may not [yet] be able to solve general grammatical errors, but it may good enough that it works in specific cases. It may even be the case that we'll design systems that depend on multiple agents offering suggestions and other aggregating suggestions into a more refined result.

Not that parent poster's example is better than yours, since it also doesn't do it, but I believe the biggest strength of dd over cat or redirection, is that you can specify block size. With right block size you will get far better performance and reduce wear of the device when writing block by click than when writing data byte by byte.

The key though is to be aware of block size, and use multiply of it.

>What are the chances that a country divides 50-50 into two groups, one of which is right about everything and the other of which is entirely deceived?

There is no symmetry. 37% identify as conservatives, 35% as moderates, and 24% as liberals[1]. That leaves 4% for "other". So we're actually talking about 63% of the country being "non-crazy" or "non-propagandized", although I suspect that many self-identified conservatives despise what the Republican Party has become.

My favorite Math/Music text is "The Harmonic Experience", by W.A. Mathieu.
It didn't say explicitly, but my guess is that they want to disassemble the first sarcophagus and the original plant in an orderly manner before they eventually just collapse. Even the new sarcophagus won't last forever, so there also needs to be a plan to eventually deal with the most radioactive material as is done with other highly radioactive waste. (It's entirely likely I expect that the less radioactive stuff will be left on-site, just not as part of crumbling buildings that could eventually collapse, blowing out radioactive dust.)
I'm not sure I understand the question. Why should people be included based on ideology? Put plainly, we want people who are factually right. Who wants otherwise?

The Middle Ages were defined, in a sense, by the priority of ideology over rationality. The enlightenment was a rejection of ideology in favor of factual accuracy about the world. The ideology may say the Sun revolves around the Earth, but the facts say otherwise. The ideology may say that that climate change isn't happening, but the facts say otherwise.
To be clear, my post was not about western women - it's about western governments.
