That's what the Constitution is for in a democratic republic, like the U.S. It limits the damage a single populist can cause to our lasting institutions.

Unfortunately, it's eroded over time. When we want big government policies, we don't care if it's truly regulating commerce "among the several states", and we don't bother to amend the Constitution to add the powers we feel are appropriate.

Out of all the people that want gun control, none advocate for an amendment to revoke the second. They all seem to conveniently believe that it's constitutional. I understand why some people feel that way, but surely a reading of the second amendment would lead some of them to want to revoke it, but it doesn't, because nobody cares what the second amendment or any other part of the Constitution says.

I'm not in NYC (Phoenix here) so can't really comment on the local markets there. Here in Phoenix, there's a chain called Sprouts that has produce about as good as Whole Foods (or AJs) while being quite a bit less. As for meat there's Basha's (owns AJs) which is a bit less, similar quality. For everything else there's Fry's (Kroger) or Walmart. In the end, it depends on most of what I'm looking for as to what store I'll go to. In general it's only when I want more mushroom varieties fresh that I'll venture into an AJs or Whole Foods. I don't do the boxed "organic" anything, as it's usually just overpriced with dubious additional quality.

I do wish more meat/egg sources labelled what feed they use as I find that influences flavor far more than organic v. not.
Political parties(at least in the US) are themselves a form of gerrymandering. The issues for which the 2 main parties stand for seem almost arbitrary except that one party is "of the future" and the other party is "of the past". Yeah there's some philosophical basis for the positions but they're often post-hoc to serve certain special interests.

[edit]

I've frankly become slightly sympathetic to non-democratic forms of government because I feel political parties inherently lead towards forms of treachery. They will be bought off or will try to invite outsiders as a means to grab onto power. My ideal political system these days is a meritocratic lottery system.

Anything is better then e-mail based systems.

The discoverability, browsability, and useability of something with actual markup and design is infinitely better then e-mail.

I've tried several times to make submissions to several e-mail based projects, never with any success. At the same time, I've had zero issues contributing to a dozen or so github hosted projects.

E-mail systems are a shitshow. First, you generally have to join a mailing list, which is regularly broken, or requires someone somewhere to manually acknowledge your membership. Then, you have to figure out how they want shit formatted, figure out how to generate a diff (I've been using SVN for 8+ years, git for ~3 years, and have never had to deal with diff files!), send an e-mail, find the mailing list shat itself and troubleshoot, try again, etc....

Basically, e-mail is the death of any sort of low-effort contribution. If you're starting a new project, and chose a mailing list, you're probably excluding a huge quantity of potential contributors.

If there's a project where I want to make a few-line change or minor enhancement, and it's on github, I'll generally PR it back into the original. If it's somewhere else, or requires another account, there's no way I'm going to spend the effort.

Plus, just reading mailing lists is a fucking disaster. Literally no mailing list host I know of lets you just view a complete topic thread in simple chronological order on ONE PAGE. They all operate on a per-message response-tree structure, so just reading the discussion is a huge pain in the ass.

E-mail is basically dying among younger people, including the ones that code, and with good reason. For actual forum-type discussions, it's a completely shit solution.

And the world is on the cusp of the nuclear war.' And every algorithm will be proven wrong by the baby-boomers generation.

Fwiw, this is called the BHK or Brouwer–Heyting–Kolmogorov interpretation. It's a way of providing a model of intuitionistic logic in the same way that "sets" provide a model of classical logic. Intuitionistic logic this should hold some kind of meaning independent of BHK, but BHK can help in your examination of Intuitionistic logic.

>So how do you protect yourself?

Here, now, today?

Set all your accounts up with auto-generated passwords, and store the whole lot in a password vault[1]. Don't bring the password vault file with you when you cross the border. Arrange to acquire it after you have entered the country[2].

Now you can honestly say you don't know any of your passwords. If enough people do this, then this law will be pointless.

Also, for the love of god stop bringing your smartphone with you when you travel. Get a $15 quad-band feature phone, and just bring a paper map with you. If you don't need your laptop then leave that behind as well.

[1] As much as I hate password managers and see them as a solution to a problem that shouldn't exist, you should probably be doing this by now anyway.

[2] The details of this can range from a pre-timed email to a physical handover from someone inside the country, depending on whether you think the border police might detain you and attempt to force you to acquire the password vault.

When else are they going to eat?

I was once a serios competative swimmer (think top 100 in the US). If i ate between school at say 4pm and training at 5, that dinner would have been floating down the lanes. After 8pm was the only option. (Same for breakfast. Eat after training, on way to school.) Properly active kids eat when they can. Nobody should skip exercise or other activity for the sake of some silly 1950s eating schedual.

>Also, the myth that exercise is the key to losing weight won't die.

As someone who's on the verge of being overweight, what is the key to losing weight? This seems like a very curious proposition.
Obviously. It all boils down to which group is in power and who is powerful. Minorities are going to get a fag end here. For example I see very little talk of illegals from Canada or Europe who are in USA. But authorities will only talk about Mexicans painting them as some kind of gangsters and criminals always. Indians or Chinese aren't that active in organized crime but their education and high skill is portrayed as evil "stealing jobs" phenomenon.
those 2 scenarios are a big reason why people should focus more on general health vs appearance/weight loss.

its likely the couch potatoe is unhealthy inside even though he looks fit on the outside.

on the other side, if someone is overweight (albeit not very obese) but overall eats a healthy diet, it shouldnt be that worrisome.

This is what I call an argument from experience. "You've never experienced it yourself, so you have no business discussing it." This is equivalent to saying that someone who's never ridden a plane can't be an aeronautical engineer. How about something a bit more compelling?

Look, you're the only one since tempestn's comment (inclusive) that's used the words "normal" and "abnormal". If you want to argue that the pattern of emotions experienced by a depressive is normal, or that a delusion is normal, then that's fine. I don't agree but I don't particularly care either way. But are you at least capable of seeing that a depressive who neglects their responsibilities, or even kills themselves, has an illness? That if someone has a delusion that causes them to murder someone, then that delusion is an illness? Or are you going to argue that murder and suicide are good things?

> Inherited ACLs take effect only at creation time inside that directory as far as I understand it

There is "dynamic inheritance".

> Links won't affect anything--you can't link directories.

You can link files from multiple directories, leading to the question which is the parent from which permissions should be inherited.

> We use git for all our code, but git has zero permissions associated with it other than the execute bit.

Git is just an object model. It doesn't have an authorization scheme, and this is the advantage. It's easy to add authorization schemes that are truly repository-wide and match the requirements. You can write authorization logic which takes a (PERSON x REPO x COMMITBIT) table to handle pushes and pulls. Then for more complex requirements like groups, write a script which generates these per-person-per-repo bits from a per-group permission list and a group membership list - no actual need to code complex (and domain-specific) logic in the authorization layer. (If you have no proper authorization in place and don't want gitlab or gitolite, get in touch with me. It's easy to do it yourself, I even have a (some what over-engineered) solution "gitadmin" at github).

> I've seen repeated problems with the basic Unix perms over a five year period here which require repeated action by the admins or guilty parties to fix them up, plus the issue with access via Samba or NFS on client systems accessing the data.

I know these problems from my workplace, and my assumption (backed by minor experiences from personal use) is that ACLs only make this problem worse. With static inheritance you still have to fix up permissions. Dynamic inheritance is hard to debug. It's easier to just have a script (maybe cronjob) which fixes up permissions.
I love little "niches" like these. So many things in our lives are so filled with "depth" that even extremely observant people will never notice.

Sometimes I just sit back and wonder at what the designers or manufacturers of common things had to deal with.

Perhaps the shape of a mug handle was a point of contention between several people, or the thickness of your desk was the result of a compromise that came from a grueling 4 hour long meeting, or there is an engineer somewhere that is extremely proud of the weeks they spent designing an office chair wheel that won't suck up a cord, or the designer which worked several weekends in a row to completely redesign the shape of the base of a desk lamp so that the regulatory sticker could be placed on the back and not on the front.

It makes me feel better when I feel like I'm wasting time trying out different button shapes and sizes for a stupid menu somewhere deep in an app that nobody will ever really care about.

Regarding the blog post: Xonsh now has 125 contributors on GH, is tested by Travis, Circle & Appveyor, and is analysed by Lanscape (https://landscape.io/github/xonsh/xonsh/2936). I see the Landscape score is not that great, but also that lots of the errors reported are false positive.

So IMHO there are some serious QA efforts going on on Xonsh, and the concerns reported by the blog post you are citing are probably past history.

The surface has negative curvature, which is all it takes to create a hyperbolic geometry. It doesn't have to extend to infinity and include the whole of hyperbolic space to exemplify the geometry. So it's hyperbolic, but not the whole of hyperbolic space.

On a tangent, but commenting on the article:

Even something as simple as the surface of a sphere has an intrinsic geometry which is non-Euclidean. So it's frankly a bit ridiculous for Wertheim to affect wonderment at the apparent "intelligence" implied by the sea slug's production of a surface with a non-Euclidean intrinsic geometry. It's disingenuous at best. Take the example of a falling rock: it doesn't know anything about elegant 19th C formulations of mechanics. It doesn't need to, but humans nevertheless make leaps of understanding of unchanging phenomena.
