The daycare we enrolled our kid at has a $12 fee for every 15 minutes past their closing time. I think that's priced steep enough to discourage, and also on par with having to pay two adults to stay later (they have a two adults with the children at all times policy).
I'm a Mozilla employee, and though I wasn't directly on FirefoxOS I did work with and serve that team. Telefonica was by far the most engaged partner we had, they had good engineers and seemed genuinely committed to the success of the project. There were lots of disagreements on product direction, sometimes we were right and sometimes they we right. Ultimately we were both wrong - I don't think there was a winning product strategy. Not on the high end or the low end. In that situation everyone ends up with bad feelings.

It does make it hard to learn from the experience though. Maybe the lesson is about learning how to quit at the right time.

Kids in my town definitely hang out at the much trendier (and overall nicer) outdoor mall that was built on my side of town a few years ago. We have a more traditional mall on the north side of town, but no one I knew growing up would hang out there because it was so far. We hung out at the movie theater instead.

Guessing, but - in convincing someone in a position of power over you, it is very hard for them to reasonably deny you when you have REAL demonstrated experience.

If you don't, its the easiest and sensible thing to deny you.

In what way are these meaningfully different?

No you can't, because the tyrant owns all the land and calls the police if you try to take any of their food.
It seems composition would yield ever larger numbers. If Rayo's number is F(10^100), then wouldn't F(F(10^100)) be even larger?

OK, now repeat that nesting F(10^100) times (maybe use Knuth's up-arrow notation?) and now you have something even bigger. Now call that whole thing G, and start over from the top.

There is no end to how many times you can do this.
Like it or not, increasing fossil fuel extraction and cutting environmental regulations is now the policy of the President of the United States. The public communications of the executive branch are under his authority and he's not just going to let the EPA run its public relations and releases contrary to his agenda.

Like others have pointed out, there are other ways the public can get the information. But it won't be the EPA running a press office counter to the President's.

Android doesn't have 88% of the US market, only the world market.[0]

Also, what got MS in trouble was their contracts with hardware vendors. Companies like Compaq were required to pay MS for a Windows license even on computers they sold without Windows installed, and that was an abuse of MS' power. If Google is charging companies for Android even for phone they sell without Android installed, that would be analogous.

As someone with two melanomas under my belt (and more than a 1000 moles) what I really want is the ability to do a mass scan of my body also further down at the cellular level not just looking at the moles on the surface.

I am lucky enough to have Sloan Memorial as my hospital and no other than Dr. Marghoob one of the leading experts and I actually have a scan of my body made with 50 or so High Definition Cameras (I am litterally a 3d model in blue speedos and with a white net on my head).

They have a new system where they can look at the cell level without doing a biopsy and actually found my melanoma before they did the biopsy (i.e. they knew it was melanoma before they did biopsy) but it's really a cumbersome process and I had 6 experts studying and working to position that laser properly.

So the real challenge today is how do we get the data into the system.
Yeah, step one to building the next Trello is be Joel Spolsky, or possibly 37Signals; failing that, be [otherwise] exceptionally good at marketing and generating goodwill. Because the reality is that "it's simpler to use, more general and has less bloat than the market leader" is not a unique selling point, it's something pretty much every new entrant into a market achieves by default. So you have to do a lot more than that for your KISS general productivity/collaboration app to stand out, particularly if starting from the significantly disadvantaged starting point of not being Joel Spolsky

Seems like an interesting similarity to the Soviet 'politruk'[0], a Communist Party official assigned to maintain the political control of the armed forces. A familiar example is the politruk who voted to launch nuclear warheads during the Cuban Missile Crisis with his submarine Captain, but First Officer Vasili Arkhipov voted to wait for orders from Moscow.

Similar functions also existed in their academic structures, but the official-ness of this order certainly smacks of the politruk.

Trump was voted in by coal miners. Coal Miners whose jobs have been slipping away and towns devastated by the "Heroin Epidemic"

Continuing to ignore rural America will only make them more angry and continue to vote in assholes like Trump. Clinton lost precisely in the rural states that mattered: Pennsylvania, West Virginia, etc. etc.

As long as liberal Americans are unable to understand that coal miners are literally losing their jobs and dying in their hometowns, then the discussion will not move forward.

The numbers aren't pretty for rural America. It's a legitimate problem, and those citizens are blaming the EPA.

It's worth noting that 3 million more people voted for Hillary. I wouldn't chalk this one up to a design issue, rather implementation (in this case, weighting votes by geographic region).

It feels like such a strange time to be alive. Even if you disagree with the concept of man-made climate change the distortion of scientific studies seems like something that everybody can agree is wrong. So much of science is funded by govt grants. The idea that everything must conform to the view of the current administration or it is not worth funding seems dangerous and economically limiting.
The United States can't be a functioning democracy not because of it's size but because our actual political rules are awful.

> WAP, which was kind of the ancestor of AMP

I feel like while they were inspired by some concepts from there, the biggest contributor to the idea (apart from the need of locking in people in one 'easily acessible' platform) was opera's OBML format/protocol which was really decent at the time and provided a lot of benefits AML is marketed for. Probably the only problem with it was the lack of any interactive javascript, and that where it failed to meet adoption. Oh, but well, it was really niche as well, that did nothing good too.
Thanks for the info. Curious - why the re-write if racket performed well enough?

I would think the main benefit from this point would be in the future.

If folks have a lot of money stashed away in their house, tax free - and they dont' turn it in, that money is lost. Moving forward, it will be more difficult to do the same sort of thing (in theory) because of the sheer inconvenience of storing up all of those small bills. And if the people do, in fact, wind up being more upfront about their monies, it'll mean more tax revenue for the government - you know, for all the stuff governments want to do. Roads and security and improvements and such.

Basically, this is a push for a better future, with some inconveniences and unfortunate stories in the present. There is some hope. Hope is pretty important.

I'm not sure the benefits are so minuscule compared to the costs.
> What exactly is he afraid that'll happen? [1] Why all of the resistance?

He is afraid of being proved wrong. It's a very common problem with climate change deniers. Facts and figures keep piling up but they always grasp any possible alternative explanation. The longer they sustain their position, the fooler the look if they backtrack, so they tend to become more and more entrenched in their opinions. Trump just happens to have the opportunity to silence government funded organizations.
47% of votes went to Trump. I don't think 47% of American voters are coal miners. Focusing on them seems exaggerated.
I've mentioned this a few places so I should probably write a post about it, but I did experiment with Lisp and shell (using femtolisp which is used to bootstrap Julia). There is an obvious similarity in that they both have prefix rather than infix syntax. Tcl explored this design space pretty fruitfully as well.

The short answer is that the experiment didn't work very well. If you want a shell based around Lisp, the new "oh shell" is closer to that. It has homoiconic syntax, which I don't agree with. I talked about that a bit here:

http://www.oilshell.org/blog/2016/10/28.html

The oh shell is influenced by the es shell, which was almost literally a Lisp. There is also EShell (ELisp) on my Github wiki, and earlier Scheme shell. So without going into too much detail, I think the idea has been tried and it has failed not by accident, but for fundamental reasons.

That's not to say that Lisp isn't hugely influential. Julia and Elixir both have very Lisp-like metaprogramming which I hope to take some inspiration from. Without having tried it in detail yet, I think the lesson is that in 2017 you don't need homoiconity to have metaprogramming. And another lesson is that people like syntax (me included!)

The shell especially needs syntax because it will often be typed in a terminal as opposed to in an editor with help.

My understanding is "denying climate change" is less so about the science of it and the reality that it's a nod to supporting industries that would be regulated away due to their climate impact.
Congressional Investigations are only to investigate Democrats. Just ask Darrel Issa.

For policy statements, yes. But scientific reports, from agencies that have a scientific civil service, like the DoE, NASA, EPA, DARPA, etc. are traditionally considered to be different from policy statements, and lots of them are released every month by low-ranking scientific staff without needing approval from the administration's political appointees.

These jobs are not coming back, period.

But the social issues do merit addressing
Doctors protect themselves from technology changes by forcing themselves to be included in any technology change. Get blood tests? You can't get the results until a doctor looks at it. MRI? Same. ML will provide another batch of tests for them to order, and if they work better, that's great for the patient, but you'll still need to make an appointment with the doctor for ordering test, and another for diagnosis.

Whether this is a good thing or not is open to interpretation. Doctors make mistakes, but people often catastrophize their test results.
I've always found it interesting that the civil war occured when the population was about 30 million, the war for independence at about 3 million, and colonial rebellions at about 300,000. The country is at about 350 million now.
FWIW, this would probably not disrupt supermodels, but the tiers below, i.e. "normal" models, creating yet another "winner takes it all" market and increasing inequality.
When you say he denies climate change, are you referring to climate change itself, or man made climate change? I know man made climate change deniers who fully believe in climate change. But the term "climate change denier" gets thrown around so loosely (sometimes I wonder if that's intentional), that I don't know what people are actually referring to.
Yes, but one is written by a developer, and one is written by a user. That's a pretty big difference, IMHO.
How spystealth.orggmail.com saved me from my wicked wife
I'm disabled after a fatal accident. My wife abused me and neglected me by hitting me in my sleep, switching my medication and stealing my pain medication I have a brain injury so she would tell me I was hallucinating or making it up that I was beating her in my sleep because I was having nightmares and hating myself but the doctors told me it is impossible for me to dream anymore and that injuries are parmanent. I got rushed for brain surgery after all my money is gone and I lost my business and she told me I’m going to be alone forever because I’m retard. I just needed to go into her facebook because she is in mine and messaging people bad things and has left me nobody talking to me. so i went online to start my search for a professional hacker then i found spystealth.org@gmail.com. i mailed him and told him what i needed him to do for me. He helped me at a more affordable price, and even faster than i expected. He helped me gain the evidence i needed to win the case against the wicked woman i called my wife. Thats how she got out of my life for good. Since then i have promised spystealth.org@gmail.com to always give good reviews about him anywhere i am. spystealth.org@gmail.com is the man for the hack job. Thank me later.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_freedom really? Notice that almost this entire article is discussing the various differing opinions on what constitutes freedom, and in particular the trade-offs between positive and negative freedoms.

Yes they share some broad similarities, and everyone agrees that obvious historical tyrants are bad, but there's a lot of nuance once you get into the details.

>My point is that there is not a single country that can be considered free where you cannot safely own wealth.

That depends what you mean by "safely". Plenty of countries charge property taxes, and many have eminent domain laws which can force you to surrender land. Property is not absolute, nor do I think it should be.

Which is why I don't think these kind of economic decisions should be considered Human Rights.
Wrong. There are 175,000 coal miners in entire of U.S.

Who voted for Trump? Basically every single demographic group. The country has collectively lost its mind when the candidate is astoundingly unqualified...

Did you know 54% of white women voted for trump? That's right, more white women voted for Trump than Hillary Clinton.

That is how insane this election was.

Firefox has also been a pawn in Mozilla's corporate strategies many times.

They changed Firefox users' default search engine to Yahoo, not only in new installations but overriding existing settings, after Mozilla cut a deal with Yahoo.

Mozilla also backed EME, eventually, a big threat to free internet as we knew it, among many other things.

If you take this history into account, portraying Firefox as being unblemished by Mozilla Corporation's monetization schemes and guardian of the free internet is just romantic fiction.

Clinton was the only hope at defeating Trump. I cast my vote multiple times against Trump (in the primaries AND in the final election). I am personally outraged that Trump won this election.

In any case, Clinton's failure to rally rural America to her side cost her the election. She tried of course. In any case, you gotta offer something to the Coal Miners.

They're not stupid ya know. They know that pro-environmental policy is hurting their jobs and they voted somebody in to push back against the EPA. Seems like a legit strategy to me.
It's also worth noting that 90 million people who are eligible to vote didn't vote at all.
