There is no single definition for, say, "hacker" either, and there might be plenty of hackers who don't use computers, but if you're portraying yourself as a hacker you have to be at least okay with computers. Same with the alt-right: there might be plenty of people who call themselves alt-right who aren't white nationalists, but the're okay with white nationalism.

The /r/altright subreddit says on its sidebar: "Another core principle of the Alt-Right is Identitarianism. Identitarianism is the prioritization of social identity, regardless of political persuasion. Thus, the Alt-Right promotes White Identity and White Nationalism."

Breitbart's 2016 article, "An Establishment Conservative's guide to the Alt Right" says: "The alt-right do not hold a utopian view of the human condition: just as they are inclined to prioritise the interests of their tribe, they recognise that other groups – Mexicans, African-Americans or Muslims – are likely to do the same. ... The alt-right’s intellectuals would also argue that culture is inseparable from race. The alt-right believe that some degree of separation between peoples is necessary for a culture to be preserved. A Mosque next to an English street full of houses bearing the flag of St. George, according to alt-righters, is neither an English street nor a Muslim street — separation is necessary for distinctiveness."

If you have a problem with the "alt-right" being identified with a belief in racially-separate nation-states, take it up with the alt-right themselves.
That's not a religious test? It's clear what its intent is.
I agree. If I, as an individual, could opt out of having sugary drinks shoved in my face on the TV, in every shop, vending machine, newspaper and cafe, then I would agree there was no need for control.
The only one chain doing unlimited drinks in France is KFC.
You surely also would like the state to ban tobacco, alcohol and weed since it also has proven negative consequences? Can't have it both ways.

Obama has ordered drone strikes that killed at least over 100 innocent victims in the Middle East. Not to mention the "terrorists" that he blew up. He also executed American citizens without a trial in the Middle East: he ordered a drone strike to kill a suspected terrorist leader who was an American citizen.
I'm not in favor of restricting soda, but I strongly contest the heroin example you're giving.

To call that "treatment" is really playing with the terms and shifting the goal posts. It's like saying that the treatment for gambling is to have unlimited money. You may be solving one problem, but you're not solving the central issue. Black-market heroin is particularly bad, but so is being addicted to opiates at all.
Bannon and the rest of the conservative media trade on implication, so we should get better at recognizing implication.

Do you see all the ad network ads that show Michelle Obama with a taken-out-of context angry face? The reason the right buys those ads is to create hate through implication. The headline and click-through content don't matter.

PR and marketing are subtle.
I use Linux on my media PC. I actually switched to Windows for a little while, because it was preinstalled. I only switched to Linux because I wanted to SSH into the machine, run OpenVPN, duckdns updater, home automation scripts, etc. I was just more comfortable in Linux.

I run Plex Server, Plex Home Theater, Spotify desktop app (in the background), and EmulationStation. I've been very happy with it so far.

It would be nice if I could get Netflix integrated, but I just use my phone and a Chromecast for that.

> As far as I'm aware congress decides in the end, and I don't think that it will pass even if the democrats take control in a couple years.

Considering nothing else, there is a fairly good electoral argument for the Republicans to allow it to happen. Removing 55 electoral votes and 2 Senators would be a significant blow for the DNC.

There are a lot of serious arguments not to let it happen, but if it really got to a vote in the Senate, party lines would probably not be the big issue.
Great point! I set the target at "three nines five (99.95%)" at one place and had to defend why I wasn't aiming higher. "Because I think we can get it consistently there with minimal drag on engineering. To get substantially higher than that, I think I need to start setting policies that will slow down engineering and that makes no sense."

Also, at the time, we had outages almost every week. At the worst of it, we used to joke that we were "chasing our second eight of uptime..."
So you are saying we are running a republic of representative government? And yet these are the rules we play by and have always played by and I disagree this instance and so I need to virtue signal that "muh people's voice bruh."
The only waste from unfinished soda is the syrup. You'd have to clean the water after you peed it out anyway, and water gets recycled in most places.

Real scarcity is a cause for moderation, and Americans aren't always good at that, but clean water is a highly renewable resource in the US (except in areas where the system is corrupt or there's tons of wasteful agriculture, neither of which is fixed by drinking less).
Without IP we'd be stuck with really shitty software: nobody would ever waste millions in writing something just so somebody else can copy it the next day. Same as medicine patents, copyright of art, etc
The comparison has been made between sugary drinks and social media. Are they next?
It is. Most matter we think about is what you would call a space-time worm. A pattern of 4d continuous worms interweaved together.

If at a given time the pattern stops, we consider that the structure broke. Matters that spontaneously break are unstable.

Materials we call impossible are only impossible under these conditions : stable a d continuous in time. The idea of matter that may be discontinuous in time but still display some characteristics of stable solid matter is pretty new.
You can also build a good ol' fashioned htpc at almost half the price of this NUC: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/DmXrtJ

Could be even cheaper if you already have some spare parts.

It might use a bit more power and has a larger footprint, but there is enough space for 3.5" drives and it is practically noiseless at any load. Plus you can expand it with a TV tuner, a graphics card or a HDMI capture card.
Operator Overloading for Fun and Profit – logic from mathematical expressions
First, do know that the scope you have outlined is a huuuge undertaking. Maybe think of limiting the scope to start off with (inventory mgmt OR dealer mgmt OR accounting OR payroll). For tech stack, my suggestion is to use a back-end that provides as much out of the box as possible.

Ruby on Rails provides huge bang for the buck with their integrated database ORM, as does Phoenix (what I used). Your scope involves a lot of referential data, stick to traditional robust SQL database system (Postgres for example). If you use a NoSQL db, you may be quicker out the gate (as it'll take any JSON you give it), but once you get to the analytics with lots of joins, it won't be as much fun (personal experience).
Also, I would suggest using the server frameworks' rendering engine to get your MVP up and running, as you can then fast iterate between data model changes and visual representation (i.e. HTML output), and avoid front-end builds and all that encompasses. Phoenix is very snappy, and with something like Turbolinks can potentially be as snappy as a dedicated front-end app.

Personally, I needed very interactive front-end, so had to build a separate front-end using Ember. I found Ember with Ember Data provides a robust toolset that manages complex data. I also have experience with React and Vue, but keep in mind with their state management (e.g. Redux / Vuex) that you'll need to manage complex data relationships yourself.
As far as mobile, don't think native, as you'll need to learn specific technologies to implement that as well (more time...). Grab a bootstrap template that is already responsive, and you can run the same web-site on an iPad (forget the phone initially).
Good luck!

Welcome to the world of "content marketing", where companies create advertising disguised as content that they desperately hope gets shared.

IMHO, it's a good sign that it triggers your spidey sense. Messages should always be read with the creator's/distributors' bias in mind.
Personally I drew the line at the USG demanding to know your social media identities in the ESTA forms. But that was the Obama administration. It is nice to pretend that all problems started with Trump, but in fact the situation of crossing the border and immigration already got worse and worse under Obama.

I have found the best way to enjoy Apple hardware without the sticker shock is to just go ahead and buy used Macs from vendors such as OWComputing (macsales.com) or macofalltrades.com.

The hardware is rock solid even if it is 3 or 4 years old and the software is upgradeable. And I know I will be able to use it for another 5 years without too much hassle.

My casual computing needs do not include high end gaming or deep learning using the latest GPUs.

I don't need anything more powerful to browse the internet, check my email and some casual document editing. This is what my family also does 90% of the time.

Sometimes it is cheaper to just change the timing belt on your car rather than leasing/buying the next latest/shiniest new thing.
> If this blanket policy saves even one life I would find it justified.

It's quite likely to cost lives, since it also applies to refugees and asylum seekers. I wouldn't be surprised to find that it results in at least one suicide over the next few months.
Not trying to start a flame war, but to offer a counterpoint: I don't believe that taxes should be used as a means to control people's behavior. If you put huge taxes on products that you deem to be socially unacceptable, you are simply making it harder for lower income families to access them, while wealthier individuals can continue to access them with little to no consequence. Maybe I'm interpreting this incorrectly, but this sounds like a classic example of a regressive tax.

And why is it up to us to say that poor people should have limited access to sugary products? Shouldn't that be a personal decision? Feel free to disagree, but I personally believe that if we're going to subsidize the organic industry, we shouldn't simultaneously be punishing people that just want their soda.
An Oscar Nominated director cannot attend the ceremony[1]. Ironically he's been persecuted by his own government, but he's unfortunately not a Christian so Trump doesn't care. People with green cards aren't being allowed to board US flights[2].

Also look at the countries he's selected- Iran, which is not host to ISIS or Al-Qaeda, and who have not had any of it's citizens ever carry out an attack in the US. The main crime of Iran seems to be that it's not a US ally. If this is allowed to become a precedent, if say the Indian government does something to upset the US, what's to stop Trump from banning visas from them too?

My parents had the same attitude and I'm from the UK. My Dad passed away at a younger age than his father from obesity related conditions and it was then that I realised that my parents generation (born in the 50s) were the first in history to have access to unlimited food.

Their own parents had instilled in them this view that you must finish your plate. They had experience of rationing. My parents continued this attitude probably because this just seemed like the thing to do but really this sort of thing seems like a bad thing when many of us are overweight.
Lyft (zimride) started the first carpool site. Sidecar started the first rideshare app. Uber used excess black cars capacity to start. I would say sidecar and lyft were pretty genius but Uber won the game.
What does Trump have to do with this? This happened in France, it's in the headline.

Trump would be against this, he'd likely allow Coca Cola lobbyists to write FDA policy if they were in his corner.
Then he's welcome to be the senior counselor to the president of an all-white country. America, though, is distinctly not an all-white country. Does he want to make it one? Am I, as an American-born child of Indian immigrants, expected to move somewhere else?

That's how most people I know were raised in the US, too. As an adult, I've consciously tried to move away from this attitude, because it leads to obesity. It's especially problematic in the South, where I'm from, given the absolutely massive portions that are traditional there. (And it shows in the pervasive obesity of the population.) My rule now is that I stop eating as soon as I'm full. It's sometimes a struggle to make myself follow it, though.
If I'm Coca-Cola or Pepsi or run a large restaurant chain in the US, I'm pushing this ban everywhere.

Restaurants price soda to include the cost of people who get the free refills and the margins are high because of it.

If the government suddenly banned free refills, restaurants won't lower prices because it will hurt top-line revenue and buying decisions aren't made on the price of soda with your meal. Consumption goes down but prices are stable means profits are higher, so Coke and Pepsi can raise their prices to restaurants, say both sides capture half that new margin.

Soda makers win, restaurants win, consumers win because consuming less sugar assuming they don't pay for a refill, taxpayers win by lower burden on healthcare. Sounds great.
America needs a new civil war to reset the political establishment that went beyond the point of no return.
Yes, nanny-state, authoritarianism is part of the socialist ideological grouping.

Socialists have always advocated the state making little, "lifestyle" decisions like this. The state "knows better", and you have lots of people agreeing.

Look at the top comment and its children comments on this story. You have people applauding this law and saying that people are too stupid to know when to not get a refill.

These are the same people that wring their hands about Trump being an authoritarian, but applaud stupid, nanny state laws like this.

Ahem. Unless my reading/understanding is wrong, parent comment was about reasons for banning heroin.

Yep, heroin has negative health effects. Yep, ban has all sorts of economic consequences. I don't think many would argue with that. Still, are those the reasons why it and alike substances were banned in the first place?

I believe your points are different from what caused my disagreement.

It works just like tar for the most part, so it extracts into whatever the current working directory happens to be. I'd just do (cd /other/dir; tarsnap -x -f whatever-archive).
At a personal level, it seems to me that this phenomenon could be applied to e-books as well. I have hundreds of kindle books I bought from amazon which aren't read yet. This is how it happens. You see a book, and you want it in your library and you imagine one day you'll get the time to enjoy it, but that day never arrives.

The proliferation of book recommendation systems and the websites which create lists of "To read" books are to be blamed as well. Maybe not. One thing author talks about: preserving books for the next generation, that doesn't apply to e-books either in the physical.

Interesting!
What profits? If they're charging you the same whether you get three refills or zero, that sounds like a pretty shitty way to get people to spend more on soda.

We have free refills in Canada and they're basically just abused by teenagers and poor people so three people can drink from one soda.

Is that what you think this it? Do you actually think this is unjust and oppressive? To me it looks like a government doing what it is designed to do: govern. AKA "conduct the policy, actions, and affairs of (a state, organization, or people)."

Perhaps you should describe to me the devastating consequences of this law, so that I may better understand your suffering.
That's not much of a source. Not even a full sentence from the supposed email. Color me dubious.

I don't think anyone would expect this to affect green card holders, and if this isn't an outright fabrication, which frankly wouldn't surprise me at this point, I'm sure Trump will clarify the matter shortly. No one wants these policies to affect established, permanent residents.

Remember, this is a very hard transition and the teams are still in the process of exchanging. It's absolutely plausible that there are anti-Trump people in the government doing everything they can to throw a wrench in the works. The media has certainly made it clear that they're basically willing to self-immolate to try to stop Trump, and I think there are a lot of Obama-era workers of similar mind.
This is not true, in general. The borrow checker has many limitations where it cannot prove that something is safe, so it assumes it is unsafe. The classic example is borrowing disjoint slices from an array.
> I'm just not sure how to open up their worldview to see it like that, and the policies being put into place might make that a little more difficult.

Let Trump do this part for you. I'm sure that he will step on a landmine or two while in office that will fire in his face undoing his policies and hurting this main constituency that are motivated by his economic fantasies he calls plans as the other one which is primarily driven by his far-right social policies should be equally worthy of our rage and disdain as they're his foot soldiers in this despicable cause.
