Ok, but that does not change the fact that the bakery in this situation was in fact discriminating. You don't have to refuse all service to be discriminating illegally.

A more sinister version of the same logic is the argument that states weren't discriminating against gay people by not letting them marry someone of the same sex because technically they could go find someone of the opposite sex and be granted a wedding license for a life of misery married to someone who they could literally never be attracted to instead of the person they were attracted to and loved. It's discrimination in either case.

Very well; my apologies. I've updated my comment.
Since he left, some old ideas have been raised again and merged. It could be worth revisiting.
The left hasn't been doing that. Not at all. The right has played the angry white racist card, and the majority of Trump's supporters trend towards the racist end of the spectrum (as shown in a YouGov poll in The Economist).

Trump started this with his racist birther lies, aimed at undermining a legitimate black president. He then made a series of racist attacks on other non-whites, and he also adopted an old racist slogan: America First. As a result, the KKK newspaper was almost the only newspaper to endorse Trump for President. (The other was owned by a large Republican backer.)

All of this is ultimately about white supremacists holding on to or regaining lost privileges and demonizing anybody who isn't white.
Alternative economic arrangements will not be able to survive under an authoritarian kleptocracy. They'll just be moved out of the way through some form of corruption. Even under the neoliberal order, they were only barely tolerated. Think about what happened with Tessa and direct sales in many states as the mildest precursor to this kind of future.

Whether we like it or not, the country is shifting back towards the 19th century notions of "political economy." These existed in a diminished form under neoliberalism, but were largely swept beside by the triumphalist end of history that reigned. Appeals to fascism and authoritarian communism have already entered the Overton window, so the only option now is to outcompete those explicit political-economic fusions with something new.
Allowing a custom web browser is different than allowing a system wide custom WebView... Since you can't currently do anything similar that's a weird complaint.

For example, I have Google Maps installed, but if I make an app and add an MKMapView it is the same old Apple Map it is everywhere.
Sorry, Busy. Black people are Americans. So they can choose to do what they want like the rest of us.

Interesting addendum - I asked my wife that that acronym would mean to her (she used to be a counsellor, and for a time was involved with sexual assault victim counselling), and to her, "CP" was "Child Protection", as in "call CP Services...".

I'd pay top $$$ if someone could show me how to let a mobile Safari user record audio on their microphone and submit it. iOS doesn't permit this in any way, whether it be with getUserMedia or media capture forms. The only way to do audio recording is to build an iOS app just so I can get this one simple feature which is exactly what they want. Repeat this story for a dozen other features as well.

Apple's total opaqueness on what their plans are for the future functionality of their browser certainly doesn't help either.
ACLU is not in the business of protecting the Second Amendment, and they're upfront about it.

The ACLU claims to be in the business of protecting the constitution, not only the parts that people with left of center politics like.

They're liars.

NRA is not in the business of protecting the First Amendment, and they're upfront about it.

The NRA is a gun owner's lobbying organization. Their primary activity is the promotion of the second amendment but they have fought for the first amendment. The NRA Civil Defense Fund has taken up First Amendment cases too.

Why do you have a different standard for ACLU compared to NRA?

I don't. The ACLU lies.

You're saying that you're unwilling to financially supporting them, not based on what they do, but based on what they do not. How does what they do not diminish the utility of what they do?

Because the ACLU doesn't defend the Constitution, they have weaponized it.

No, I'm saying the differences, especially on immigration, aren't that great. They're far more alike than not. And to see Hillary supporters suddenly take an active protest-level interest in politics just smacks of partisanship.

Yes, I understand the argument is "so what if they're motivated by partisanship?" That's a facile argument, though, because movements like this require sincere dedication for the goal of the movement. If the partisans' goals aren't aligned with the movement's goals, then the partisans can do more damage than if they simply shut up and sat it out.

I suspect Libratus' overbet frequency is overfit to this particular reduced-variance game format. In a normal game, the opponent doesn't take chips off the table after winning a hand and might stand up at any moment.

It's hard to know how much that affected the strategy, but in the Reddit thread, the human players said the overbet frequency was what they were most surprised by.

Because if you imagine yourself to be above the fray and are merely attacking me based on consistency, then my reply would involve asking you what you want (given that we can't go back in time and start fighting Obama harder) and why you're more concerned about consistency than abuses. If you're a Trump supporter, then I'd just go straight to pointing out how much worse Trump's actions are in this department.

Nothing is off. Everyone who has even a bit of business sense can very clearly see that Apple is maxing its profit margins. They're dropping anything (relatively) low margin like Airport and Cinema Displays. They're charging an arm and a leg for dongles they know people will need. iCloud is still capped @ 5Gb, yet iCloud sync now by default also syncs your Desktop and Documents folder. That's on top of iPhone and iPad backups, app data (both iDevice and Mac) and iCloud mail. And the price for more storage is not cheap compared to competitors.
There is learning from a catastrophic fuck up, and then there is incompetence. Backups is like Day 1, SysAdmin 101. I can't quite grasp how so many different backup systems were left unchecked. Every morning I receive messages saying everything is fine, yet I still go into the backup systems, to make sure they actually did run. In case there was issue with the system alerting me.
Never ever take any kind of test before talking to a person, preferably the hiring manager. Not even for fun or practice.
Not enough. Even a person on AVERAGE income struggles to pay for those services. They would be completely out of reach to someone on Basic Income.
It seems to me that, as a customer, it is blame-shifting away from the company to a particular person. Blameless post-mortems are great, but when speaking to people outside the company I think it is important to own it collectively, "after a second or two we notice we ran it on db1.cluster.gitlab.com, instead of db2.cluster.gitlab.com." I believe this isn't your intention, but that is how I interpreted it.
> That 1820s number, if you do the math, was ~1.4 shots of Everclear or 3.5 shots of modern 80 proof whiskey per day for the average citizen.

3.5 shots of whiskey is about the same amount of alcohol as 3.5 beers. Round up, and it's a couple at lunch and a couple at dinner. Almost nobody's going to get very drunk off that, and a lot (most?) people won't even get tipsy. Factor in that people build up a tolerance to alcohol, and it doesn't seem too bad.

Long term, I'm curious if it's any worse than 4 sodas a day?
Using Vim as a Python IDE
Depending on the company, I'm usually considered a "lead developer", architect, or some other title that requires me to spend 30-50% of my time either in meetings with business people, designing, planning, or mentoring. I have trained hard for those skills. I don't see companies outsourcing software engineers, if all a developer can do is sling code around without understanding system development and architecture, they are no less of a commodity than the factory worker getting outsourced.
The same polls that predicted Hillary's win?

She just won the popular vote by a large margin with a D next to her name. She has a ridiculous amount of evidence to show that she is the core of the Democratic party and the only person I had as an alternative to Trump to vote for. She isn't a stand in for every wing of liberalism in the US, but she is definitely the center of the liberal wing with any real influence.
I say frontend and backend. Spell check usually dislikes the former while liking the later.
I think it would be more accurate to say right now that Trump is anti ACLU and everything it stands for. They're the static object in this equation imo.

They're not anti-Trump the person. They're against anyone who intends to ignore/damage civil liberties and Trump the candidate was pretty explicit about his thoughts there and is following through.

Those sorts of groups are the worst about personal computers. Enthusiasts care about shit that nobody cares about.

My team is responsible for tech specs for a huge global enterprise. We A/B survey people for different hardware starting with our Windows 10 rollouts. Very, very few people, even tech people report any difference in satisfaction with PCs with 8GB vs 16GB or more, price optimized i5 vs fast i7, etc.

The three things that most affect satisfaction are SSD, not telling people what the specs are, and giving them Macs.

Normal people give no shits about 95% of the handwringing complaints.

Your doing it right now, demonizing everyone that voted for trump as a white supremacist. Keep it up if you want but the more you do the more you'll ensure they'll never vote for the left again.

How is "America First" racist?
I don't know for sure, but I'd imagine their job contract with Apple forbids them to do that.
You can sweat out a lot of beer doing brute-force manual labor. Especially if it's relatively low-test beer - it's pretty hard to drink it fast enough to get tipsy.

I mean, the daily ration of beer in the Royal Navy, when they were in English waters and not on hard stuff, was one gallon per man per day. And they were scampering around in the mastheads...
8 survivors. Probably 40+ overall counting the flagdowns.
I've worked with these systems enough to know that it is trivial for a state actor to spoof GPS and GLONASS timings.

The best way to tell is to compare signal strength and "satellite location" of the timings you are receiving both near and far from the system. To reliably spoof the signal you need a variance some order of magnitude greater than what you are getting from satellite timings, which is pretty low by the way. So I don't think it would be that hard to verify.
It's not a religion ban. Indonesia has the largest population of Muslims on earth, at 200+ million. Not one of them is banned from America. Only immigrants from countries with direct ties to terrorism are banned, temporarily.

Once gain, it has nothing to do with religion. It's geographical. You can be a Christian in Iraq, and you would be ban too.
I've been seeing about 12 hours of battery life with my 13" tbmbp, though I've switched to safari to make that happen.

It really depends what you're doing. I have a cpu meter running all the time and often see electron based apps (spotify, slack, atom) idle on 5-10% cpu usage for no reason. Just having one of those programs will eviscerate your battery life - its impossible to get 10 hours if the CPU isn't asleep most of the time.

That said, in fairness Atom seems to be getting better with each release. But spotify seems to keep getting worse. I've caught it pegging an entire core a couple of times in the last few weeks - just sitting on 100% cpu usage despite having no music playing. I think it was rendering an animated ad in the background or something, despite my paid account. Its really no wonder people don't get 10 hours battery life out of their machines. This shit is the new flash.
The center is defined constructively as "news presented in order of significance and without providing commentary". These are objective metrics, though they are very hard to calculate. And while any particular ranking is likely to be subjective, the standard is not.
> Drinking alcohol seems to be very expensive on sleep cycles.

I've heard that as it wears off there's a "rebound" effect, so that alcohol now means being more wakeful X hours later. I've never really been (or wanted to be) drunk enough to know for sure.
Well, there were a lot of young children in those days too. They drank a lot less (I can't figure out how to say that without sounding sarcastic. They drank, but not much).
Private schools are required to compete with "free" public schools.

> I don't see how this would work since schools are always expensive to run by nature and the working class is getting poorer (for those still having a revenue), I don't see this working very well.

That's why in my comment I said I don't want to hear this comeback. It's as predictable as sunset that every time someone mentions a free market in education, someone else can't imagine it working for educating the poor.

How well does the current system educate the poor?
Infrastructure ops here. Happens to the best of us. Just have to get back on the horse.
I was watching some old episodes of "The Young Ones" on NetFlix a while back, and noticed that they did this in their show quite a lot - each episode had at least one or two images inserted randomly in them for a split second. Nothing to do with the episode story at all.

I was intrigued because I never noticed them decades ago when watching the original series - they are far more obvious to me now. Must have been a common technique at the time, because I remember watching another English show from the same era (the name of the show escapes me), which did the same thing.
First of all, I want to say: I think the GitLab people are incredible. They're open and transparent about everything they do, and I think that in a world dominated by GitHub, the fact that GitLab exists is hugely important to decentralization and the continued march of open source. This document continues to demonstrate how the GitLab people are great, transparent people.

That being said, this is why you shouldn't entrust a cloud service to keep your data safe: "So in other words, out of 5 backup/replication techniques deployed none are working reliably or set up in the first place."

My backups work. I know they work, because I run them and I test them. People entrusting cloud services to have good backups cannot say that.
Article says around 100 civil penalties total have been issued for violations of the DNCL.

Maybe because George W. Bush didn't pull anything like this and he was President during 9/11? You can't claim that the "D" is just as bad as "R" and then forget about every other President from both parties who didn't go about indiscriminately banning people with Permanent Resident status from entering the country.

Technically not that hard. Practically, unless you are Russian, it would be pretty hard without starting a war.
Interesting... How is it working?
Exactly. I think companies are looking for great candidates and great candidates are looking for jobs. Problem is - Interviewers are screwing things up! big time!

One single person (an engineer of the hiring team, sometimes fresh out of college) is responsible for evaluating a candidate. That is extremely wrong. It's like a bottle neck, how can you evaluate a candidate in 45 minutes when you only have 1-2 years of experience working for the exact same employer on the same project? This just doesn't make any sense. Interviewers end up asking very specific details they've been exposed to, or they simply google for the "hardest XXX interview questions" an hour before the phone call. You, as a candidate, get judged and often eliminated based on something completely worthless. I bet you %50 of the rejected candidates would do the job better than their interviewers as soon as they would get up to speed at work.

Solution - They should create a new role in every engineering organizations and hire (or should I say - pick internally) extremely skilled software engineers who would interview candidates. That would be their full time job. Staying up to date with the latest technologies as well as learning how to evaluate a candidate properly. Right now it's completely random because interviewers aren't interviewers, they are resources allocated to projects and don't have time for that stuff. Crazy to see in 2017 that the actual hiring process is still at the very bottom of the priority list. I think it's the biggest problem in 2017.

Yes in theory. But in practice the language includes "async" support so you can guard these few operations that may take long. Like in a functional language you assume everything is pure unless marked to have side-effects, here you assume every reaction is instant unless is something that has to be explicitly "awaited" for. It's a pretty clean model.
How is the benefit negligible? You are running consumer drives that are not designed to be run at a 100% load 100% of the time. The drives are not meant to be spun up constantly; in fact, many of them have mechanisms designed for them to spin down between use and lower power consumption. It's like complaining about a drag racer not being able to haul a ton of bricks without breaking the transmission on a regular basis.

TWISI the org chart of the US Government is basically the constitution a the top & each branch of government below reporting to the constitution.

Unfortunately the Constitution can't call up the president or file lawsuits on it's own so the ACLU takes it upon themselves to make an argument on behalf of the big boss.

So many business people who want to be politicians mistake the presidency for being CEO. The president isn't CEO, more like co-COO and sometimes a swift and loud reminder of that fact is necessary.
