>>That tops eating out of a dumpster (literally, like eating unwrapped, half-eaten discards)? Or defecating in a stairwell?

> Neither of those things are wishing lifetimes of drudgery as a condition of survival onto your fellow human beings.

You're either not communicating your point effectively, or you don't seem to have any understanding of reality.

Who, exactly, is "wishing lifetimes of drudgery as a condition of survival onto [their] fellow human beings"?

And who, in their right mind, would willingly forego stable access to the necessities of life (food, a home...) because they find such stability intolerable compared to a lifetime of drudgery?

>> It isn't working as redistribution through taxation

> Which companies are paying taxes on their automated output comparable to what the payroll would cost?

We seem to agree that redistribution through taxation categorically does not* solve the problem of providing people with the necessities of life. So what is the point in discussing a specific aspect of taxation?

Instead, I'll ask again - what is your proposed solution, such that people's basic survival needs are accommodated, given that charity doesn't solve the problem either?

* I'm not saying that it can't. I'm saying that it doesn't - primarily because the wealthy have bought 6 decades worth of across the board, increasing tax cuts (among other things) by buying government.
> This is being intentionally dismissive.

Not at all.

> The fact that ... is very different from playing the what-if game.

I was trying to speak broadly so as not to speak for you. How would you put it?

> No, neutral is letting others determine the law without interjecting my opinion.

For a pure observer, maybe. For a taxpayer, not so much.

> It was you who made the connection of science being rational and religion being irrational.

Yup.

> I was merely pointing out that neither rational nor irrational bases can inform this issue. A position on this issue is strictly based on morality and philosophy.

Assuming you feel that a human should not be killed (without reason anyways) you can formally extend that reasoning to a baby, a fetus, and so forth. At some point, the initial reasoning may stop applying. Congrats, you've now derived an opinion on abortion.

You may feel that morality has a religious core, but that's a god of the cracks type thing. You can squish that bit away and analyze the rules systematically using the tools of logic.

> This contrasts starkly with other issues like climate change or tax policy where math and science can inform a more correct position.

There shouldn't be any contrast. What's the problem with runaway climate change? The suffering and death that it will cause. But that's the same ethical framework you'd use to analyze abortion. And it leads the same place - your basic value for the lives of others, which you may call religious or not.
App stores are relatively recent things and devs made butt loads of $$$ before the first App Store opened. You are being uncreative depending on nags to get publicity. If you have to annoy users to make a go of it, you just might be in the wrong business. It's not my fault. Not Apple's fault either. Blaming others for failure is Psych 101. Yeah, we get why you do it. Humans are extremely reticent to blame themselves for anything. Furthermore, we owe you for "using" your app and getting pelted with your ads. Except that right there is beyond simple selfishness, and crosses the threads hold into soft psychopathy.

You aren't selfless enough to make it in software. You can't think about the customer, only yourself. That's not how business usually works.

So, life is hard. Awwwwwwwwww. There's your sympathy. Now, succeed without bugging your customer or admit defeat and get out.

Or keep complaining that you're getting 1 star reviews.

Up to you.
I wonder if it's a regional thing? A friend of mine has spectrum from Charter (formerly Bresnan in this case) and he gets ipv6.
Maybe I'm just using the wrong app, but as far as I know texting on Android is garbage. Plus having to get phone numbers is annoying when we're already connected on FB. And phone numbers are randomly loseable when getting new phones, and I can't access my texts from my computer, and I lose texts if I get a new phone, and attaching media barely works, and messages get broken apart at a character limit, etc etc. I'd rather use Messenger any day.

Of course I don't like that it's controlled by FB, because I hate FB, but I'm probably going to keep using it until it's replaced by another free social media platform that 'everyone' is on by default.

Trump is ostensibly using the 9/11 play card to justify banning few muslim countries [0].
This is obviously a lie, since most of 911 hijackers were Saudis and his executive order is not banning the Saudis. I'm guessing on the strength of the Saudi lobby in DC [1] AND/OR Trump's potential business conflict in Saudi Arabia [2].

I wouldn't take Palmer for a guy that's hurt by this. He became richer than his wildest dreams and doesn't have to take shit from anybody.

He's probably too busy trying to develop a healthy lifestyle that helps him keep the friends he wants to care for some corporate politics like this to register. Let them take the attention, he'll find another venue for his engineering itches.
Because, except in rare cases, the model/theory/idea of interest does not predict "there is no difference between my groups/conditions". It predicts something else. In the rare cases a zero difference is predicted, the method is scientific.

For nearly all use cases many plausible models/theories/ideas will predict "not exactly zero difference", so rejection of the hypothesis "difference = zero" is useless to the scientist. Mathematicians apparently don't get this, which is what inspired the Fisher paper I linked to.

And yes, it is the most common H0. No argument there. The problem is so widespread and destructive that the mind instinctively rejects its existence as unbelievable.
I use hangouts (project fi) for texts. It's great! But yeah, the default messenger app for Android isn't good IMO.
There is 2 problems I see one of which is mentioned on link. What if the requested resource is subject to non disclosure that it was blocked?

The other is the increasing use of HTTPS, when a U.K. ISP blocks a site that's using https it just breaks the connection and you get a SSL error and not a http error code. If they served up a page the cert would be invalid unless they were able to supply a cert for the common name you requested.
Interesting. In US there are also different billing codes like that. But it's not something a patient has input on. However, it's safe to expect a provider to chose the maximum code that can be reimbursed at any given time by default.

So given that, a patient is likely getting the most expensive product a given doctor will deliver already. To get a better product simple options are specialists (much higher reimbursements, selection bias for more complex cases) and specialists at major teaching hospitals (even more of the above).

There are effective ways for a patient to hack the system by doing lots of work themselves (e.g. by maintaining his own clinical summary) but they are beyond what most patients will do.

If anyone's ever clicked on an ad on Facebook not-by-accident, I would love to know.

Invariably Facebook's ads are either a) highly non-relevant [the vast majority of ads], or b) I already know about what they're advertising. I even try to help, to make the ads relevant: every so often, I go through Facebook's list of my interests to weed out the many ridiculous inferences Facebook has made about me. I bet that's more than 99% of the Facebook population does!
HN often seems to pretty much exist of a long stream of Names we're all apparently supposed to know and track.

IMHO the term "idiomatic" is overused. Every programming language has its idioms, and I am sure you'll learn them when working through Go tutorials, books, or courses.

Important here: Empty your teacup if you want to fill in new (different) tea. Try to understand the Go language without falling back to the idioms of other languages. Drop inheritance, generics, exceptions, dot-chaining of statements, and embrace interfaces, explicit error handling, and clear, readable, and maintainable code.

As one of the go proverbs says, "Clear is better than clever."

Why Slacking Off Can Speed Up Your Productivity
In the UK we have https://fullfact.org , an independent fact checking charity. It isn't quite the same thing, e.g. is more of a service than software, but is open source friendly, e.g. was the topic of a recent Lucene hackathon.
Hm. I really dislike Google's ecosystem, so I don't think I'm interested in switching to it. And my initial experiences with hangouts were super negative.

I'm using an app (messenger?) that just puts a slightly better UI on Android texting, but it's still pretty bad. I should look into using Telegram, though.

By far the biggest gripe with texting is that it's not persistent across devices. That's a core requirement that seems like it should have been solved a decade ago.
Why NGS has no "undefined" (the case against "undefined")
Some of the conclusions seem a little quacky here to me - like "avoid ingredients you can't pronounce" and a lot of "avoid processed anything".

While I'm sure there's some arguable benefits to these things, I think it's paranoid or stupid to dismiss something just for being "processed". 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.

Maybe I just have no sense for quality, but I've tried paying double for "organic" products and similar - only to be repeatedly disappointed with products that taste worse or equal and spoil quicker - I'll never buy them again, it just doesn't make sense to pay more for it.
Thx. But many of those are counting on ads too, like Twitter/Snapchat/Allo(maybe). I figure SMS might be my the only choice out there though.
This looks really very interesting! Thank you for the link, I think I might have a few use cases for this if it's easy to work with.

I abhor Trump, but something about this statement irks me:

> To the Trump regime, I make one request: if you ever decide that it’s the policy of the US government to deport my PhD students, then deport me first. I’m practically begging you: come to my house, arrest me, revoke my citizenship, and tear up the awards I’ve accepted at the White House and the State Department. I’d consider that to be the greatest honor of my career.

Given the pedestal that you (presumably, by the amount of points this has gotten) are on, there are more actionable ways to be useful, rather than be a martyr. No mention in the post on how to stop Trump. For example, telling your readers how they can take action to stop Trump. I'll share some of my own thoughts on how to do this. Feel free to respond to this if it's not exhaustive enough.

To follow my own advice, if anyone sees this:

1. Call

- Local congresspeople (http://www.house.gov/representatives/find/)

- Senators (https://www.senate.gov/senators/contact/)

- Local officials (https://www.usa.gov/elected-officials)

2. Participate

- Get involved in local elections (this is a decent start - to become informed locally http://www.npr.org/stations/)

- Protest

- Attend town hall and city council meetings (see npr)

3. Share

- Tell your friends

4. Vote (https://www.usa.gov/register-to-vote)

5. Volunteer

6. Stop reading and start doing one of the other things.
Wings of Desire: Nikola Tesla and Pigeons (2014)
Does the President have the power to unilaterally impose exit-visa requirements?
Such a cynical yet poorly thought out policy.

Firstly, many people involved in terrorist incidents are natural born citizens of allied countries. So are we going to ban all French or Belgium citizens given they have been shown to harbor terrorists ? It's clear that Trump/Bannon desperately want a Muslim ban as opposed to a Iran/Iraq/etc ban.

Secondly, this is going to alienate moderate Muslims who Western intelligence agencies have unanimously and categorically stated are the only people capable of solving this problem of radicalisation. It's often their children or friends or community members who are being radicalised. Why should they help the US government when they are encouraging the public to hate them purely based on their religion ?
This is obviously extremely unfortunate for those involved, I predict it will be very short lived but we'll have to wait and see.

One thing I like about this sort of controversy though is perhaps some day, some people might start wondering who these mullahs are and how they came to be. Now that type of conversation would be rather uncomfortable, and I suspect is somewhat of an underlying cause of a lot of the hand wringing we're seeing from various government agencies.

EDIT: Interesting I've got two downvotes already, do people think the interesting history of the leadership of Iran is some sort of a conspiracy theory?
I'm not OP, but I assume that phrase is in reference to the Oracle capability to not need to completely re-run the underlying query in order to refresh a materialized view.

_learning_ is an investment, and most times it doesn't make sense to invest years to learn a couple of languages to be efficient.

I'd say it's better to know one language and know it well.
I don't know, isn't it possible to do the equivalent of mutable assignment if I use the same variable name several times?

For instance for the equivalent of x = 3; x = x + 1; print(x):

(lambda x: (lambda x: print(x))(x+1))(3);
Can't mess with the Saudis. But we sure can ban the people they are bombing to hell, you know the Yemenis with British made bombs no less. And ban all the other people whose countries we helped destroy, you know just to add insult to injury. Really the best way to make people think we the vanguards of freedom. I am sure though Trump has some business dealing with the Saudis, I think there is a Trump hotel in Dubai.

This is completely unacceptable, and truly crosses the line. I have many Iranian coworkers and friends here in the bay area. The thought of branding them as terrorists and revoking their work or student visas is absolutely unbelievable. I think the Trump administration and the GOP are in for a rude awakening if they think these policies are going to stand.
The ban on Iranians has nothing to do with terrorism. I might be wrong but I don't think there are any real Shiite terror group. And yes I don't think it's fitting to call Hazbollah as a terrorist group -- the same label that you'd give Al Qaeda or ISIS. I honestly can't think of a time where a Shiite group was responsible for indiscriminate killing.
Yeah of course!!! It's been a crazy journey and it's just getting started!
I understand the complaint, but what is the alternative? As a social network - you cannot charge to be on the site; otherwise you will never be more than just a niche.

Yes, people hate ads. But, if you were Facebook, what would you do differently?
I can confirm this. My cousin and his wife met as senior staffers for sitting senators. (They're now both lobbyists; go figure.) This mirrors — even significantly expands — their counsel.
You may not have to worry about ads, but some people have to worry about costs - $12 for me last month sending international texts to one person.
Maybe this will be the tipping point that gets everyone to switch to Allo
This is an ahistorical interpretation.

All the states admitted to the union with one notable exception were territories controlled by the United States, and all were dominated by American citizens. These populations had nowhere else to go. Do you honestly think that Idaho was going to join Canada, or strike out on its own? Of course not.

The idea that people would have a primary allegiance to their state absolutely did not pan out. No one puts South Dakotan at the center of their identity in 2017, but in the late 18th century they certainly did. For evidence look at how many signers and organizers of the revolution failed to bother to show up to the constitutional convention. There was no United States or national identity at the time. At best, it was like claiming to be a citizen of the European Union today.

Use case: Never having to maintain a NAT instance (or, worse, but necessary: failover NAT instances).

That's how I tend to use AWS at the moment, with IPv4. Almost every resource (except AWS services) has a public IP assigned, few have open inbound security groups, most have open outbound security groups (but the option to restrict is handy).

If there really was a threat it would be reasonable for you to want less immigrants. But there isn't, that's straight up racism.

I'd love to know how (precisely) closing visa access to nations that don't send terrorists to the US (Iran) but not to that those that do, but which happen to make scads of $$ for Trump's business pals (Saudi Arabia), makes America safer than your nation. Try suggesting this policy (visas up the wazoo for oil-rich Wahhabis) to your elected reps. It's a useful test: if they go for it, you know they're either thick or on the take.
> Same for milk. I can drink German milk without problems but American milk gives me stomach problems.

There are many different kinds of 'American milk'. A primary difference is what the different farmers feed their cows.

A few years ago I suffered through the History Channel's Modern Marvels episode about cotton. There's a bit towards the about how cottonseed meal (a waste product of the cotton industry) is commonly used as feed for the dairy industry.

Someone commented about how they taste a difference for the week after farmers switch their cows from summer rations to silage -- it takes a week for the cows' bacteria to adjust. I should find that comment & favorite it... Ah, here:

You can always tell when the cows switch
between grass and silage in the spring
and fall. Milk tastes like garbage for a
week or two until they get sorted out.

I can see the point of a broad stroke policy that does not make exceptions, in that it makes enforcement that much easier. Of course whether there's an actual goal here or this is just posturing to make good on the "tough on immigration" campaign talk is anybody's guess.
Although I totally agree, per the op article

> but all of them are reliable markers for foods that have been highly processed.

It might be an ok rule of thumb.

Highly processed food can of course be good for you, but mostly isn't.

It's bad science but a working stereotype.

Organic is of course a marketing gimmick and as per the article

> you should probably avoid food products that make health claims. Why? Because a health claim on a food product is a good indication that it’s not really food, and food is what you want to eat.
nothing happened, its just psychology. "predictably irrational" by dan ariely does a great explanation of free vs paid.

I dont like many of those business models. Its basically push everybody out of game by offering a great product for free and then when nobody is there make it worse.

This sure opens a space for a new player, but this new player will just play the same game ( offer something for free then make it worse and so on )

His essays are definitely worth diving into if you haven't done so already. I don't agree with everything he writes, but I often find myself thinking back to points he's made or just ways he looks at problems. The one on Schlep Blindness is particularly insightful.
Another useful tactic is to archive news and commentary (left and right) about current political events, both for accountability and perhaps, to prevent the rewriting of history in the era of "alternative facts".
Dubai is not in Saudi Arabia. It's in the UAE. However his family have expressed interest in building hotels in Saudi Arabia.

My guess though was the omission has more to do with energy price stability and/or arms exports.
