Yes, but it isn't true that Tokyo trains usually don't have seats. If you work on a strict 8-5 schedule, then of course it usually won't have seats for you.
Its right to question which direction the country is headed, but i have to wonder what damage is being done to the nation's psyche with all the apocolyptic imagery. What's it like to feel in constant crisis. It makes people scared all the time and drives divisiveness. Its as dangerous as anything the prez may have planned.
"So pink is not a fighting/protesting color if you want to keep the base energized."

I like Scott Adams, but this is silly. The 'N' word is not something to get energized over either, and neither is the 'Q' word. But those examples he ignores even though he mentions them himself earlier.

Another example: When the Dutch started their war of independence from Spain, the freedomfighters (terrorists?) called themselves 'Geus', derived from the french word 'gueux'. It means 'beggar', the lowest of social statuses. We turned 'Geus' into being a hero.

Same could happen to the color pink. So stop knit-picking (pun!) and join the fight.

Diving into a real-life Project
Hong Kong has excellent taxis. Cheap, ubiquitous, I forget but they may have been cash only. I forget the exact prices but I want to say my average trip was like $4 and it was like only $12 to take a trip across the city.

Uber was thoroughly outcompeted. Slower to get one, four times the price, but I guess the cars were usually Tesla or something similarly fancy.
It solely seems to depend on the Google user language settings. Works for both the Canadian and German Google with the language set to "English". One gets what one would expect (with "spinner" roughly translating to "idiot") when trying this with the German Google set to German.
While I love 1984, I think Fahrenheit 451 has become more true than Orwell's novel. People have willingly given into an information bonanza that is the internet, with headphones always in (seashells). We don't need the TV walls, as our cellphone has taken that role, altogether with the hyperactive delivery of such content.

A collectivist state has not become the dominating power, but wealthy individuals and corporations have, although with similar results--while that part wasn't really part of Montag's universe, the part that is is that we have given up to the "firemen" on our own freewill, because it fits our narrative or it's our safe space.

Nonetheless, I am very optimistic. I think for all the faults that the internet and mobiles and social networks and globalization has wrought us, the world today still is a better world it was say 20 or 30 years ago. When ontop of oscillations, they are never obvious from the vantage point of a single wiggle. I still feel that despite many of the shortcomings of the previous few decades and years and months, we can still arrive on net at a better place than we were yesterday.
Can't wait for Trump to further monetize the POTUSity with historical ignorance by plagiarizing a translation of a recently re-released book in German, to be "cleverly" titled "My Struggle (to Not Grope Ivanka)."

In Hong Kong, most apartment buildings built in the last 15 years are about that height or taller. New commercial buildings are often double that.

Though your measure of effect on the surrounding community wouldn't really apply here as the buildings aren't that tall when compared to surrounding mountains.
> He literally does not meet the requirements set forth in the Constitution.

You need to be more specific. If you mean the emoluments clause, I think it's more accurate to say that it's hard to verify whether he meets "the requirements set forth in the Constitution." If you know of an instance of his business accepting a gift from a "king, prince or foreign state" since he's assumed office, then he's actually in violation.

> He isn't being impeached because his party controls both houses.

There is also that. Although I think a not insignificant fraction of that party would much prefer Pence, and if they were going to oust him doing it as far from the next election as possible would seem preferable.
I think you're right that Rails basically built up the Ruby ecosystem around itself, whereas most of the JS libraries are just riding the wave started by... Node and NPM, I guess? It's much more fragmented.

> ...or you're building on top of those modules and adding configuration conventions and scripts, in which case, congratulations, you've just written Sails.

This doesn't jive with a lot of what's been done in the JS community, at least frontend anyway. There are a TON of libraries that already had perfectly good implementations, where people just decided to reinvent the wheel because they "couldn't find any X library that did what they needed." (see: anything to do with forms)

Backend too, though. There's Express, Koa, Hapi, and more. They all basically do the same thing.

Maybe it's just a difference in mindsets -- maybe JS devs prefer light libraries they can cobble together vs. kitchen-sink frameworks? But then there's the counter-example of the popular frontend frameworks (Angular 1/2, Ember), so I'm not so sure that applies universally either.
Has anyone actually done an unbiased comparison? I've seen the picture but there are plenty of possible explanations for that.

And people seem to be reading far to much into it in any case.

I think what we're seeing is a mixture of the two social and political situations: some from column a and some from column b. Turns out they were both right in large measure.

Fun fact: Alex Keybl and I based them on 1Password's release notes (https://app-updates.agilebits.com/product_history/OPM4).

Here was the old style:

I don't think it is fair to discount battery life, memory usage, and performance so heavily. Looking at the http://caniuse.com list there are plenty of features supported by Safari and not supported by Chrome including Audio Tracks, Video Tracks, ES6 modules, SVG Fonts, Animated PNG, CSS regions. Safari is actually the first to 100% ES6 compliance; Chrome sits at 89%.

I would also remind everyone that Google chose to fork Webkit to create Blink. They could have contributed their IndexDB engine to webkit at any time but chose not to. They could have contributed to the process isolation refactor but chose to do their own thing instead. They could have collaborated on JSCore instead of creating V8. That isn't wrong or right but it is the truth and it does mean duplicated effort.

Some of the features supported by Chrome are interesting to web-only developers I'm sure, but I don't want the browser on my mobile phone running service workers eating my battery in the background. With great power comes great responsibility and the JS-advertising-infested web has a really poor record on handling responsibility.

If you give a web developer media playback, they force auto-playing media on you.

If you give a web developer responsive layouts, they steal your ability to zoom.

If you give a web developer cookies, they inject tracking bugs to invade your privacy.

If you give a web developer service workers they will absolutely drain your battery.

(Yes not everyone but it will be widespread enough that browsers will be forced to invent countermeasures.)
We've probably all seen the emoluments clause raised as one way he may be breaking the law. I'm not a legal expert but I would assume, if it's true, that breaking the Constitution would be illegal?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Title_of_Nobility_Clause

"The Title of Nobility Clause is a provision in Article I, Section 9, Clause 8 of the United States Constitution, that ... restricts members of the government from receiving gifts, emoluments, offices or titles from foreign states without the consent of the United States Congress."

I suspect we will hear a lot more about the "consent of Congress" in the next 6 months if this has any merit.
Exactly. Clinton's impeachment passed the House majority hurdle but never got the 2/3rds majority of the Senate required for the conviction.

Agreed on the Republican majority. I suspect the best the US can hope for is a Republican bloodbath in the 2018 midterms to deliver House and Senate back to Democrat control. I don't believe the chances of that are high though.
From that photographic viewpoint I can't compare. We really need a picture from the birds eye view.

Yes, it's a very good quote. It's sad most Plan 9 and Inferno innovations, just to name two further developments of Unix, have been ignored.

But overall, I am more comfortable on live environments like Smalltalk or Emacs. There's just one fundamental abstraction, and things can be composed beautifully.

In Unix, on the other hand, everything is not a file. And even if it was, little applications like mutt are silos. The code is static, it can't be easily changed or opened. A file interface, in the form of STDIN/STDOUT is too unstructured.
So we should be conserned about AlphaGo and Monte Carlo Tree Search-based Systems writing code? Yeah, that doesn't sound like a clickbait article...

>"Honestly, I am pessimistic of the future because I see it this way and do not see any political system in my country that is trying to prepare for mass unemployment or people without relevant skills"

Is that the US? The reasons I ask is because the Trump administration seems to be under the impression that they can "undo" globalization and manufacturing jobs and coal industry jobs are coming back. They seem to be intent on fixing the the former wave of job disruption instead of focusing on the next one. I'm afraid the former ship has sailed and not sure it can be fixed but at least the next one could be prepared for. And there was almost no mention of this on the campaign trail from any candidates.

Interesting Alvin Toffler who died recently and there was a discussion about him on HN talked about many of these things( disruption in post industrial society) that are coming to fruition now in his book Future Shock which was published in 1970.

That's an oddly inconsistent response. Which perspective do you actually intend to take - that you're well traveled in philosophy and what I am saying is only freshman level, or that you don't see the value of applying basic abstract concepts to your concrete situation?

FWIW what "real consequences" are you referencing here? A lack of psychological comfort from the ballot box?

I'm clearly addressing a very real problem of people being simultaneously more fed up yet supporting ever shittier politicians. I'm sorry that my analysis recognizes symmetry and thus doesn't admit the tired approach of proselytizing for one team even harder.
Yeah, the most likely explanation. And on the basis of that he was elected president. Truth is much more stranger than fiction.
You have completely missed the point of the comment to which you are responding. In kafkaesq's analogy, knowing the time does not really indicate good understanding of the color of the sky, and should not be considered as evidence of credibility about sky color claims. Similarly, being able to read polls well does not really indicate ability to predict voter fraud. They both have to do with voting. That's about it, as far as similarities go.
“jpodesta:p@ssword”
I actually edited out a long addendum to my comment above shortly after posting it. I guess I should have kept it because it addressed what I felt was the implicit assumption of the comment I replied to, and the less subtle assumption of your comment -- that because someone is criticizing a Democrat that they must be a Republican or Trump supporter. While statistically that may even be likely, you should withhold judgment at least until that person says something false or frames the discussion in a biased way.

I can't tell you how many times both online and in real life that people have made that assumption about me when I've criticized Obama, Clinton or other Democrats, or vice-versa when I've criticized Trump. I can assure you that I detest Donald Trump too.
American chestnut trees are “technically extinct”
I think you hit on part of it which is that for a while Scala sold itself as a better java, and people ate that up, until they found out it wasn't.

Scala is not a better java, in fact it's a worse java (with better type inference). It has a worse IDE situation, compile times are slower, and it takes much longer to master.

Scala has been and continues to be my favorite language though, and I would absolutely use it for new projects along with building a company off of it if given the opportunity.

Scala's strength is not as a better java, but as a full fledged functional programming language that allows you to write pure, easily testable, easily parallelizable, robust software.

Rob Pike's statement is a reflection of the terrible mistake he makes by conflating application complexity with statement complexity. Any given line of Scala can absolutely be more terse and difficult to parse than a line of Go or C or Java, but that is often inversely proportional to the complexity of the entire application. Powerful languages mean less need for frameworks and less need for reinventing the same thing over and over. See Go/Generics for a microcosm of this idea.
While I am aware of what I'll call the "Grand Banks" theory, the one that I read years ago referred specifically to the Caribbean. As to how Columbus got the information, well, people talk when they are drunk, when they are incentivised with money, just because they want to brag, and so on. Do I think the theory is likely? Not really, but it does explain a few peculiarities about what Columbus claimed and did.
Really, check out WPS Office on both Linux and Windows. It's a phenomenal MS-Office clone, 100x better than both OpenOffice and LibreOffice (because it actually acknowledges that MS-Office is a good piece of software).
This model is great for me. It's very rare that I need to view or edit a document in an Office application but it does happen occasionally when the formatting is complex or something. Just install Office in a VM, pay $9 for 1 month of access, and unsub again when I'm done!

Going to share that thing until I'm blue in the mouth. That documentary mentions that Surkov[0] uses this tactic, confusing the public about what is true and untrue.

I have to say, whether people on the right believe this or not, this has been at least subconsciously adapted as one of their tactics. When there is no truth or lie, then whatever you want is true, which makes you ripe for manipulation by the powers that be.

Maybe many stories about Reagan as fool are legends. The Buffoon Prince.
In a parliamentary system, the opposition party already has a shadow government that should be ready to take over in 5 days or less. Since they don't have that in the U.S., they have a transition period to build up the "shadow government" and get it ready to take over. A competent candidate would have it all up and running right now, though with some variance depending on how long the party has been out of power.
> Failure to give up his business interests is an impeachable offense...[as] set forth in the Constitution

U.S. Const. art. I, § 9, cl. 8. states:

"No title of nobility shall be granted by the United States: and no person holding any office of profit or trust under them, shall, without the consent of the Congress, accept of any present, emolument, office, or title, of any kind whatever, from any king, prince, or foreign state." [1]

U.S. Const. art. II, § 1 cl., 7 states:

"The President shall, at stated Times, receive for his Services, a Compensation, which shall neither be increased nor diminished during the Period for which he shall have been elected, and he shall not receive within that Period any other Emolument from the United States, or any of them." [2]

There isn't a lot of case law surrounding these clauses [3] nor guidance from Congress. It could be an impeachable offense, though frankly that's true of anything. Impeachment is a political, not judicial, process.

> Clinton was impeached for perjury and abuse of power

Interestingly, Clinton was impeached for breaking his own law, the Violence Against Women Act, which he created to win reelection. (The rape shield part of the law is what created the ground rules for how he was questioned in court, and what he was allowed to say and not say in his defense.)

This law also created a series of social programs that Trump defunded today via an executive order.
https://www.google.com/search?q=play+tic+tac+toe
Not 100% true. There are tons of apps in Objective-C that have been around for years and the support continues.
The Trump team's "polling prescience" has been vastly overstated. Trump himself has admitted that, reading the polls, he thought that he was going to lose the election as late as election night itself [0]. In fact, he says, this is why he rented a smaller ballroom for his end-of-night speech than he would've rented had he thought he was going to win. (Leave it to Mr. Trump to feel the need to defend the size of his ballroom.)

The idea that no outlet which was incorrect in predicting election results can be used as a credible source for post-election reporting is preposterous. Where do you get your news, if you abandon sources the instant that they make an incorrect prediction? Do you ignore meteorologists because they were wrong about that big thunderstorm that one time?

Each tab should get a certain number of credits to use CPU cycles, like a ticking time bomb when it runs out it should detonate and self-close (or just stops updating.) Perhaps then the browser in the next request to the same URL sends a header notifying the server that its page ran out of credit in x amount of time so the author can optimize it.

Another idea is to look at other Chrome users activity pattern in regards to how often a given URL is kept hidden and revisited to determine how much throttling should be done to it, something like an AdBlock list.

That is a moral subject so complex you cannot possibly summarize it like this. In most cases "supporting" higher taxes (not by actually paying higher taxes of course, which is explicitly allowed in the tax code exactly to call out people like you) comes with social rewards. Well, talking about it comes with social rewards.

Actually paying higher taxes is so rare and unknown that it baffles anyone you tell that it's actually allowed and that a few people did it.

But in case you don't know, here's how you're supposed to do it: http://www.fms.treas.gov/faq/moretopics_gifts.html

So, did you pay higher taxes, say, last year, or not ? Or does it "matter to you that others wouldn't be contributing equally" or something along those lines ?
