'Marriage is a right' - but between whom?

In many parts of the world, polygamy is legal. The president of South Africa has many wives. We dare not question their 'cultural integrity'.

A libertarian argument for polygamy could be made easily, just as strongly as the one for gay marriage.

Personally, I believe marriage is a cultural institution, not a civic one. I think that the government should not be in the business of defining what marriage is - and stick to 'civil unions'. Two people can declare themselves to be married - it's their choice of identity. Others can chose to reject that if they want. The government gets involved only for legal issues, much like you're declared to be in a 'civil union' if you live together with someone for long enough, irrespective of your marriage status.

Scrivener exports to Word, and various other formats. Working with large manuscripts in Word is a challenge, and it lacks many of the writing features of Scrivener. I've personally never had a problem with Scrivener's Word exporter, and have never felt like I needed to purchase Word.

People are naive if they think this has nothing to do with Trump. I know friends and relatives whose visa applications are now being routinely denied for no reason. The executive branch provides guidance on how to implement laws that are pretty vague. So they have wide discretion and control over the behavior of the border agent. Let's face it, the tough guy border agent is a mall cop. Once you tell him that your priority right now is to do "extreme vetting" of foreigners they are going to step over their boundaries. This is only the start of such stories and there will be more to come. Yesterday I read that a computer scientist from Nigeria was similarly detained and asked to write code. There is an excellent NYT story about how ICE has been empowered to make wide arrests and I am pretty sure they are routinely violating civil rights and Constitution every day now

They copied it from apple ;) http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/more-exploding-iphones/
I've had plenty of batteries swell, and none catch fire before I got them replaced, so I have to think it could help.

In my experience Apple is not consistently good about dealing with this. In every case, I've ultimately been able to get the battery replaced at no cost to me, but with an iPhone 6 that started swelling about a year ago, pushing the screen out, phone support told me flatly that this wasn't something that could possibly happen with such a new device, and suggested that I try to make a Genius Bar appointment on my own. When I brought the phone into the store later that day, they replaced it on the spot, with no appointment. (I wasn't going to accept carrying around a time bomb for another week or more.)

Civil unions would have been a better answer to that.

It's a much more culturally secular entity, and can defined better. For example, two people who live together long enough can be declared in a civil union, this way, someone can get spousal benefits even if they don't go through the process of getting married, which is more fair, I think.

My question is does the TOS for Google Maps or Street View allow for this?

> >"Over the last few years, the mainstream left has resorted to name-calling and character assassination, instead of debate, any time their positions are questioned. [...] Intelligent debate has become rare."

> With regard to the last sentence, was it not Donald Trump himself who devolved the debate to name calling (or 'character assassination', as this respondent might call it)? "Crooked Hillary", "Sleepy [Ben Carson]", "Little Marco", "Lyin' Ted" all come to mind. Or is this what the respondent might consider 'intelligent debate'?

This is exactly why Trump is so popular in some circles - they see the Left as conducting a constant character assassination campaign for decades against a largely impotent Right. Trump is seen as the first guy on the Right in decades who's willing to use the same name-calling and character assassination tactics against the left that they've been using for so long.

I gotta admit, it rings rather hollow to hear left-leaning people complain about how Trump is a name-caller. Where've they been over the last 30 years when the media was busy calling every single Republican candidate racist, sexist, bigot, homophobe? Where were they when anyone opposing any of Obama's policies was called racist? Where were they when all of their people were defending all of their candidates' sins? Donald Trump has his problems for sure, but does it really help anything or "raise the level of debate" to desperately try to tie him to the KKK somehow, which the media spent pretty much the entire campaign doing?

Yes, both sides have a lot of work to do to reduce partisanship in this country. Can we start by asking the Left to stop tolerating and apologizing for all of the hate and intolerance their side spews?

I'll also say that the Trump campaign is certainly erratic and far outside of the mainstream GOP in a number of ways. The results of this depend on how his Presidency goes. If he crashes and burns, it may have little effect. If he's seen as at least moderately successful, it could change the whole Republican party in ways that are hard to predict.
“No” (in a different tone perhaps) or “no thanks” does seem like the straightforward, serious answer to that question.

You mean taxes paid by the wealthy to support a stable system that enables them to create wealth and enjoy it. Please ask yourself, do a small handful of people need to possess as much wealth as half of the USA? More wealth than they could ever possibly spend in a hundred lifetimes?

Well, the reason TUF has to protect against all of the attacks is because it is choosing to support a varying set of requirements, including lack of SSL and insecure mirrors. Mender simply does not care about them, so it can be dramatically simpler:

- rollback attacks -- impossible since all comms are secure, and there are no untrusted mirrors

- freezes -- impossible, because SSL channel must be re-negotiated every time

- mix and match attacks -- nothing to mix+match, mender only does one file (rootfs)

- helps secure mirrors -- mender does not support 3rd party mirrors, so no need to secure them.

You can see it right on the TUF homepage: it claims to replace application, library package and system package managers. This is a lot of work, which requires a lot of complexity, and there is no need at all to pay that price if you do not need to.

I think some smartphone navigation apps do temporary dead reckoning, using the accelerometers that are built into the phone.

Dead reckoning using just acceleration data loses accuracy quickly. Using turns to reset position is a really good idea. I think I've seen my iPhone do a similar "recovery" procedure when it gets a little off track.
My wife is an aspiring novelist (on her 9th draft of the novel) with an MFA in fiction and some experience working for a literary agent. Some perspective from that side:

- 99% of all drafts sent to literary agents are objectively non-publishable. Simple lack of quality, lack of maturity, or other quantifiable factors. One or two drafts is not enough, even for experienced established novelists. Sadly, you can often tell within the first 5 pages, and even within the first paragraph.

- Out of the 1% that have the potential to be publishable, at least 4 drafts, and often much more, are required to reach the quality desired to actually be publishable.

- Good novels that are simply not what the agent/publisher is looking for at that time is also a factor, but a very distant one relative to just quality of work.

- In fact, if your novel is "good" but the agent/publisher is not inclined to pick it up, they are more inclined to ask for a full draft, to give great editorial notes, or to give referrals to other agents/publishers.

- If an agent thinks that they cannot take a specific "Good" book to market, they will frequently give pertinent feedback and often suggest specific revisions in order to make such a book marketable.

- At PNWA and other literary conferences vast majority of attendees bring single or maybe two-draft.

I should note that "number of drafts" is not an absolute requirement. Different folks write differently, and having a high number of iterations on your novel is not an indication of quality, rather than indication of prerequisite work required to produce a good product.

So while the publishing world is far from perfect, and both publishers and agents tend to gravitate towards what's fashionable, the reality is that the vast majority of aspiring work is simply far from finished, despite the authors' claims (this doesn't preclude garbage like "50 shades" from seeing the light of day, mind you).

Self-publishing gives those 99% a window to self-publish with only marginal quality controls. This in a way has the potential to overwhelm the system, and the objectively higher quality works can get drowned out in the noise.

Not to mention that, once self-published, a book is highly unlikely to be re-published by a traditional publisher, especially for a first-time author.

I'll close this tirade on a positive message. If you're a writer, you've already succeeded. The inner battles fought every single day for months and years on end alone make you a winner.

I'm assuming browsers will implement this natively, with a default provider, much like they do search engines.

It is, though, more discoverable than anything preceding it in this space, assuming browsers leverage it. It would likely create a fair amount of churn.

I didn't say anything about a crisis, the question is what would those sanctions be for?
From the description of events, it seems more likely that the thermal runaway already started. The CPU detected the critical heat and shut off, as it is designed to do to protect THE CPU from damage. The problem is that it wasn't the CPU creating the heat, but the battery. Turning the device back on likely had nothing to do with the problem.

I think this comes from a lack of understanding about how the problem started. Yes, excessive heat CAN cause a critical battery condition, but this seems unlikely, as the batteries should be designed to handle much more heat than the CPU can generate. Rather, I think the batteries caused the heat, not the other way around.

One thing I would suggest, which isn't mentioned in the article, is to join a writing group. It will give you an opportunity to both give and receive constructive criticism, see what works and what doesn't, and will help improve your work overall (if you listen to the criticisms, anyway).

Small government conservative here. It's actually pretty simple:

Small government: the government should stop meddling in marriage altogether. It's a social and often religious institution.

Freedom: We take seriously the founders' belief that government should not infringe on religious liberty.

No it's not stupid - your etymology makes much less sense to me. DOM in virtual DOM refers to the tree that browsers use internally and provide an API against, not just any tree like structure that can be serialized to HTML (which seems to be your definition). That's why it's referred to as "the DOM" with a definite article. The "virtual" part then means something like "shadow" as in a copy that is kept in sync. By that definition you didn't create a "virtual DOM". What is your definition of "virtual", "DOM" and "virtual DOM"?

"You're asking for government recognition of your marriage."
True, but that's only because, as another user mentioned in this thread, that there are legal benefits of being married. You also touched upon this subject.

But wanting government recognition so that the legal benefits can be had does not inherently require a license. It can and should be done through mere declaration and formal notification to the government. Our laws could absolutely be changed such that any two people (or more, I suppose, but for simplicity we'll leave it at two) could fill out paperwork and declare themselves married. As long as neither of those people have any existing/active declaration of marriage to someone else, then it would be valid and in force until otherwise revoked. This is very similar to what we have now except there is no permission needed. You are basically electing to put yourself into a specific set of rules, just like a contract, that both parties in the marriage agree to. That set of rules is known and defined and the declaration acts as an acceptance/agreement to enter it. And like a contract, it can't just be exited without the other party's explicit agreement to end it - otherwise adjudication would be required, like any contract dispute.

"No. Historically, weddings have been religious ceremony."
This seems like a odd point to make. Weddings and marriage go hand in hand. No one has a wedding without being married. But I think what you are trying to get at is the legal aspect. All of that would still exist and does not inherently require a license, as I talked about above.

"Want the legal protections of the secular institution of marriage? You need a license."
My entire point is that the government has made it that way, but it doesn't have to be that way. The current licensing requirements restrict human freedom for no apparent reason other than for the government to reject lifestyles and values that are not approved.

You don't need permission to buy a house. You just buy it, usually with a loan from a bank. Then you file paperwork with the government telling them that it was sold to you, what date you bought it, etc. Then you become the legal homeowner and it is recorded in the public record. You then receive all the legal benefits (and responsibilities) of being the homeowner. This is essentially identical to what I am saying for marriage. Why does marriage have to be any different?
Looks like it only handles u64's being hashed and panics on all other input. That must be because it is known it will be used exactly with `.write_u64`. Not having to implement the general byte buffer hashing is a big benefit, removes the whole partial state tracking of the hasher, which the compiler probably would not optimize out (we don't know until we try though).

Because it would collide with itself. Dark matter isn't just "not visible" - it's non-electromagnetic. As observed it didn't aggregate when colliding with itself, so there aren't big dark matter made black holes around, nor gravity anomalies from dark matter nebula or the like.

Two dark matter particles headed directly at each other would pass through each other and be only slightly deflected by their gravitational interaction.
