I didn't say that Facebook's reference implementation is the only one (it is in fact the most popular based on downloads), everyone else is performing free labor for Facebook. The point is that they can make any change they want to the spec for themselves and imposing their will, bypassing standards processes because there are none.

There is no reason why one can't do this with existing web technologies as an additional feature. There was no reason to ignore what already exists and works for the web at large.

I think you should disclose that you are founder of Meteor and have a vested interest in GraphQL. So when is the Facebook acquisition?

Could this have something to do with having the 32 bit version instead of the 64 bit version?
This worked for me too, I could eat any amounts of anything and weight even less than normal. Then I realized (well, my gastroenterologist did) that my liver had a pretty common pathology all that time and it started to make harm. We quickly fixed that and now I have to choose what to eat, because gaining, say, 5kg in one week is a no-brainer now. This is the story of one specific issue with a human body, that has tens if not hundreds of them.
Currently I'm not using one, building my own context menu, graph and grid components as a way of testing out vue, and to see if I can do it. Reasonably straight forward so far
Google spent $0/year lobbying until Microsoft and the "Fair search" coalition did a lot of anti-Google lobbying in the US and the EU. They also didn't start building up a patent warchest until they were involved in a patent thermonuclear war.

I don't find patents or lobbyists particularly agreeable - but for an organization of a certain size to go without them in the 21st century is likely a very expensive strategic error.

The only relevant fact here is that millions more people voted against Trump than for him. The top reason people voted for Trump wasn't to support him or his policies, it was that he wasn't Clinton (http://www.people-press.org/2016/09/21/in-their-own-words-wh...). His approval rating is below 50% (http://www.gallup.com/poll/201617/gallup-daily-trump-job-app...). Trump doesn't represent the majority in any sense of the word.
Sentiments like yours do not help the current situation where everyone is talking past each other. Demonizing and labeling people like others is not the solution. Characterizing the motivations of 60+ million people as racist is the epitome of mental weakness. How do you expect to solve xenophobic behavior when you are employing the exact same mental processes? All you are doing is perpetuating the cycle of hatred.

Empathy takes time and effort, especially in an age where we don't have to exercise it at all. The easy path is to disregard those we disagree with in order to preserve our own sense of moral righteousness.

Yes I think it is important that students are exposed to differing viewpoints and levels of achievement on a regular basis. I also believe all students should be challenged up to their potential.

Removing the opportunity for the gifted students to learn how to cooperate with their less gifted peers does everyone a disservice, especially when as the future leaders those gifted students will have to know how to work with (and elevate) everyone, regardless of academic achievement. With this in mind segregated schools do a disservice to everyone involved.

I am not advocating a system where everyone is stuck in an introductory level class forever but I also don't think the opposite extreme is the solution.

It could take the form of encouraging gifted students to become tutors or changing curriculum requirements so that gifted students can progress ahead of their peers but without leaving the same classroom.

I don't have the answers but I don't think segregation is the solution.

> How is your proposal to regulate what private sector social media companies are required to publish any different in substance than a (clearly unconstitutional) proposal to regulate what private sector newspapers can and cannot publish?

I am talking about service providers, not users.

Suppose there's only one printing house in town and within a 1000 km radius. This de facto monopoly means that if you are denied their services you cannot publish a book.

My proposal is: we should mandate that the service provider (i.e. the printing house) provides the same services for the same price to all customers.

Of course that would require a definition of who will be considered a service provider, but I think that the FetLife controversy clearly shows that some freedoms are being endangered: outside the Internet no monopoly/oligopoly is so strong that can send virtually anyone out of business in a matter of a week.

This is true, but it ignores a lot of other things that are going on:

Absorption and digestion can greatly vary between humans. (A Common example are algae).

What kind of micro and macronutrients you eat will directly and indirectly affect your metabolism.

What you eat will affect your hunger.

Those and other complex interplays lead to things that are counterintuitive. For instance there recently was some study that drinking soda with artificial sweetener also leads to obesity, if I remember correctly.
Some good points. The antivirus software itself is probably an interesting attack vector. However I don't like the assertion that Microsoft scanners are sufficient without some evidence (and In wouldn't be shocked if the MS-AV software itself was exploitable, too). At least run some tests and compare a couple of state of the art products.

The situation is generally bad, AV vendors are often shady. However I think "vet your AV vendor" is much better advice.

There are many things you can express with ADTs that you can't express with nullable types, and once you have those, Option is simpler than extending the type system.

EDIT: Another thing you can do with Option is define generic abstractions that work on it and other types, like map/flatMap. This in turn means you can write generic functions over anything that can be flatMapped which work automatically for Options. (I don't know if there's anything equivalent in Kotlin though?)
First Facebook Messenger and then WhatsApp. Ads are inevitable, it's just the matter of "when". We will live in ads. Google ads might decrease and such ads targeting personal apps are on the rise. This needs to stop.
Personally I don't see that it's that important.

We know already that CO2 and other gases cause climate change and we understand the mechanism. I think that most of us would probably also agree that the earth is a sufficiently complex system that predicting accurately what effects we will see when is impossible. We expect to see more droughts, bigger storms and rising sea levels - but we can't really predict very accurately how big those things will be when. By the time we have accurate models it will be too late.

We know that we need to act now. Understanding climate change is not the most important research out there; what's important is developing technologies and industries to reduce our emissions. That research would be what I fear losing.
Shuttle flew a decent number of missions for the National Reconnaissance Office, conducting secret experiments and deploying spy satellites. Most of the missions are still classified, but many folks have said the military needs drove the design of the Shuttle program. There are pretty obvious advantages to a spaceplane if your goals include capture of enemy satellites. http://www.space.com/34522-secret-shuttle-missions.html

It turns out a lot of science space research is heavily driven by military space presence. For example, Hubble has a 2.4m mirror because there was already a factory making that size for dozens of spy satellite. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KH-11_Kennen

And ever heard of "The Dish" at Stanford? It's a 150-foot radio telescope the US Air Force funded during the Cold War to ostensibly "study the chemical composition of the atmosphere." Total BS. The Air Force built it to intercept signals from Soviet radar systems after they bounced off the moon.

(Thankfully Stanford got to keep it and it's been used for hundreds of projects since then.)

> The main evidence is to take these companies at their word instead of assuming they're trying to cover something up.

I'm not implying that the are trying to cover something up, but it just seems absurd to me that a payment company may be liable for what its customer are doing, and I would like some clear, circumstantial evidence of that.

The laws you are referring to prosecute whoever detains, distributes, sells, imports, mails, transfers obscene material.

However I cannot see how payments providers can be liable, can you produce some evidence in this direction?

I am not a lawyer, but it seems to me that the payment provider is no more guilty that the electric company powering the servers.

OP's premise was in part that only straight white males supported him. The fact is, the majority of white women supported him as well. So OP was wrong on a very, very big part of the premise being floated.

Trump's approval is 57%

http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/trum...

The notion that it's useful to pretend Trump represents a tiny group of supporters, for personal emotional comfort over facts, isn't going to be useful in actually trying to counter bad policy. Step one is recognizing that Trump has a very large base that put him into the White House. That he only lost the popular vote by 2.8 million (2.x% of all votes) with California and New York included, is astounding and points to just how large his actual base is. Not to mention the fact that Hillary didn't manage to pull a majority of votes, versus eg Obama's 51.1% in 2012, Obama's 53% in 2008, and Bush's 50.7% in 2004.

I will consider this. I "maintain" my relatives computers which is basically to install an anti-virus and adblock. They still get those sketchy messages from friends from time to time though, which is the main reason that I keep them with an AV. Is this correct? Does AV improve security for people who cannot differentiate between a .pdf and an .exe?

Personally I don't use an AV, I am a bit paranoid and technical competent so my case and my relatives is totally different.

> What the heck does that mean anyway? All our food is processed in one form or another and nothing about something being more processed necessitates any loss.

I hope it means something like:

Take a chicken and roast it, with potatoes and vegetables. Add some gravy.

Now take the same chicken. Remove most of the meat and sell it. Mechanically recover the rest of the meat, and form it into small popcorn size bites. Bread those, deep fry them, serve them with a sugar sauce.

The roast chicken is a good meal. It's healthy, it's slow to prepare and slow to eat.

The popcorn chicken? It's hyper-palatable. It's been engineered to be cheap to make, and to hit all the points of salt, fat, and sugar that humans seek out in food. It's not a satisfying meal because it lacks the fibre from the vegetables. And it's very easy to eat. It's a much worse choice, but it's a much easier, and more tempting, choice.

> products that taste worse or equal and spoil quicker

We see that (in the UK) with ketchup. People used to keep it, opened, in a cupboard and it would last for months. But now you're supposed to keep it in a fridge and use it within 8 weeks after you've opened it. The modern version has much less salt, and doesn't have sodium benzoate.
There's a nugget of a great idea here, the realization that there has to be a better way to describe schematics than drawing them. Unfortunately, most comments seem to be distracted by the trees of what is started here and are missing the forest that is the potential. (Aside: ever stuck on a problem or need to prompt someone else to start talking through a problem, especially in an interview? Ask "what's the worst solution that could be argued to work here? How do we improve it?")

So, what would a more exciting example include? How about sensible "default initializers" so that I don't have to wire up all the power pins, decoupling caps, pull-ups, pull-downs, and no-connects that 98% of the designs for a particular chip need?

What if instead of having to draw this: http://e2e.ti.com/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-discussions... I could just enter:

cpu = msp430(vcc=3v3)
storage = sdcard(vcc=3v3)
sd_bus = storage.connect(cpu, I2C_FAST) # let cpu and storage negotiate their pins
# sd_bus is now a list of nets that make up the connection
utils.apply_pull_ups(sd_bus, 50K)

That's all very possible, computationally, but so much less tedious than drawing it out and so much more descriptive of what I'm actually trying to achieve. As a bonus, it has properties programmers forget so many other people's tools don't: it's good for line-based diff, search/replace, and source control.

Another example: Most of what's going on here: http://www.mikrocontroller.net/attachment/162013/freqgen.png is defaults (it's also, and I wish I could say this nicely, in my opinion a very poorly drawn schematic). Instead:

loop_filter = utils.third_order_bandpass(freq_min, freq_max, RC_ONLY)
freqgen = adf4350(vcc=3v3, cp_filter=loop_filter) # boom, all sensible defaults
for pin, color in zip(freqgen[LD, CE, LE], ('green', 'red', 'yellow')):
pin.net.connect(status_led(color=color, brightness=30mcd))
# let the computer work out your resistor value
freqgen[RFOUT_A].connect(BNC(50Ohm, SINGLE_ENDED))
freqgen[RFOUT_B].connect(BNC(50Ohm, SINGLE_ENDED))
# let the computer work out that it terminates the complementary output

The linked project isn't nearly at this point, but I consider it in the same spirit. We have to go through the awkward solutions while we iterate towards a great one, I would say.
That's a good way to sweep data like this under the rug:

(Left percent is Clinton, Right percent is Trump)

White men	31%	63%

White women	43	53

White women college graduates	51	45

White women non-college graduates	34	62

White men college graduates	39	54

White men non-college graduates	23	72

(https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/clinton-couldnt-win-ove...)

Like it or not, the fact of the matter is that claiming that only white men supported Trump is incorrect. Going further and trying to dodge the point by claiming that only numbers matter is reductionist and doesn't address the kaleidoscopic issues that a diverse socio-economic-regional population has.
How does piracy come into this?
I completely agree with you, I find this "disable antivirus" to be such a bad advice!
Yes, it may work for tech savvy or security aware person. If you know what you're doing you're much less likely to get into problems.
It won't work for general public though.

And the argument being made that "for example, see bugs in AV products listed in Google's Project Zero. These bugs indicate that not only do these products open many attack vectors" could be made for any piece of software your install.

In his 2007 interview[2,3] general Wesley Clark spoke about the plan to take out 7 countries in 5 years (Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Iran). Bush went to war with Iraq.

Your post is racist, sexist, and factually wrong. Trump represents a repressed ideological view that has failed to be directly engaged, instead preferring othering and slander, as you demonstrated here.

The left-wing in the US is going to continue to lose elections as long as they prefer slander to understanding why people disagree with them and why their racist and sexist platform is falling out of favor.

I am for a lot of progressive policies, but the Democrats jumped the shark in to advocating bigotry, slander, and nonsense.

Recent example: 1 in 10 posters I saw at the women's march was outright sexist, yet 3 in 10 posters were bemoaning the "sexism" of other people for having similar numbers at their marches. Remove the plank from your own eye, etc etc.

Ed: I would genuinely enjoy someone explaining how dismissing the right-wing as sexist is any different than dismissing all of feminism as sexist because there exist sexist feminists.
