Just to be a bit more specific - one a chicken carcass has had the main cuts of meat removed they use machines to remove the last bit of meat. Yes, that means bones get crushed and have to be filtered out later.

That still doesn't concern me. What would concern me is throwing away perfectly good meat simply because it's not feasible to remove it from the bones. What a waste that would be.

I would go further and say that California will split into 7 states, Washington and Oregon will split into 5 between them.

Then we can go further and call this new union the Twelve States of the Pacific, or Pac12.
> Anti-Zionism is often just a proxy for hating jews who live in Israel.

A) more important than Israel is the tens of thousands taking it upon themselves to singlehandedly expand Israelly territory by we establishing settlements and outposts on internationally-recognized Palestinian land (with the support of Bibi).

B) I doubt you'd find an anti-zionist who would wholly disagree with that statement. Isn't living in Israel a fundamental part of being Zionist, after all? I think you have something foundational mixed up, because you are conflating absolutely disjunct issues. If one perceives the state of Israel to be in a constant moral, political, and physical state or aggression against Palestinians then that hate is part and parcel with that belief and there's nothing wrong with saying so.

Let's try again: people that say they hate Muslim fundamentalists is just a way of saying they hate Muslims who live in ISIS and Al-Qaeda controlled regions.

So? I'm sure you would argue that is absolutely not the same as having something fundamentally against Muslims themselves. How is hating the Zionist movement and those contributing to it in any way parallel to being an anti-Semite that does not like people of Jewish origin/faith that have nothing to do with Zionism (of which there are plenty).

Also, please note that anti-zionism would not distinguish between a Jewish zionist or a Christian one. And they have just as much gripe with the thousands of Ethiopians who make up a good chunk of the on-the-ground IDF forces, most of whom are not Jewish (except in name/technicality), and are regularly brought in to Israel to combat the disparity in growth rates in the Arab-Israeli vs "Jewish"-Israeli passport-holding population (Jewish is in quotes because it's really about non-Arab (Christian or Muslim) more than it is about being of Jewish descent/religion).
That being the case, he is implying there is only fiscal skin, and that people on UBI will have no fiscal matter to care about which sounds utopian.

In this hyper-connected social media age, the horror of a war waged on people that you closely identify with would have the near instant effect of turning the population against the government waging it.

True, but the ceiling on the amount that can be loaned to a person is limited by the market-driven interest rate for packages of dischargeable debt.

Yes, I think we'd see aggressive refinancing offers and all sorts of other semi-dark patterns... which would be irrelevant to the 98% who don't declare bankruptcy, but likely quite life-changing to those who do.
Well, it's nice at least that you recognize this for what it is - a power grab by the left to seize control of a powerful and influential industry with which they can impose their agenda on everyone else.

I don't agree, however, with your statement "Society owes equal opportunity (minimally) and representation (ideally) to all of its constituents into the halls of power". This is an industry. Nobody is owed equal representation in every field of employment. They have to earn it the same as everyone else or you're playing favorites, and since it's a zero-sum game, by doing so you put another group at a disadvantage.
I don't know. I've noticed many people reading articles, including Trump supports I met, think that a billionaire is necessarily more knowledgeable in business... more areas than they made billions... in general. Additionally, many of them sincerely believed a billionaire saying he wanted to get rid of corrupt politicians and that he was honest. Maybe this is what author had in mind when reminding readers that billionaires are usually incredibly selfish people that, like all people, want to influence the world based on their own beliefs and preferences. People can forget sometimes that they're people, too. Very, aggressive people with money to make stuff happen.
> As a developer, it seems pretty clear to me that there is implicit bias going on in our industry.

It doesn't seem clear to me at all. I have seen and lived through, or had many close acquaintances who lived through many specific example of discrimination, including sexual discrimination (in both directions!) but I would not dream of generalising from them. Even if many, or most of them were of a truly appalling nature. Deep prejudice with very damaging effects; nothing subtle of subjective about them.

All instances were very different in details, but all that could be deduce from it is that people abuse other people, news at 11. It's very tempting to pretend that assholes, or social darwinism, or ruthless capitalism are examples of class warfare, but usually they are not. That is not to say that everything is perfect the way it is. Certainly there are specific problems, some including specific groups that I would want addressed.

> I don't know how or why, but I don't believe that men are inherently better than women at the skills it takes to succeed, so I'm not sure what else would explain the discrepancy.

Emphasis mine.

Why do you think "to succeed" means, or should mean the same thing to everyone as it does to you? You really think that people outside your socially-defined neighbourhood did not succeed? There are many ways to succeed, but success is something defined by each individual for himself. It has nothing to do with money, nothing to do with employment, and certainly nothing to do with the industry you are part of!

Do I think it would be bad for women to succeed less than men in general? I think it would be, but I have no data whether it's true or not in western societies, nor have any way of measuring it, so the point is moot. What I do know, is that whatever the answer to that question is, it has nothing to do with women in tech. That is to say, that even if there's deep injustice going on with women in the western world (no disagreement that there are many societies where women are abused), the solution (or part of the solution) surely is not promoting them without merit in high-tech organizations.
> There is a limited supply of people who are interested in technology for its own sake, and prefer computers over people.

What does that even mean, to "prefer computers over people"? I think there are very few people (in tech or any other field) who would prefer to be a hermit and spend all of their time on their interest of choice. You can be interested in technology for its own sake without seeking social isolation. The idea that programmers should be modern day monks that have no families and spend their days programming and in quiet contemplation is completely ridiculous. Sure, there are some lone wolves out there who are successful on their own, but most programmers will have to work/communicate with other programmers, managers, stakeholders, customers, lawyers, and/or domain experts at some point in their lives, and having the social skills to navigate such situations can enable you to create interesting technology.

> That means having things that normal people care about (role models, respectability, etc), and not having things they can't stand ("RTFM" culture, socially-incompetent single coworkers, the "nerd" label, etc). Even if those things aren't all that important to us, and only serve to increase the amount of economic competition we face.

Who is this "us" and "we" you speak of? I have to work with my coworkers, so all other things equal I prefer it when they are socially competent.

I think you are reinforcing a very harmful stereotype, where you have to be a computer-obsessed social pariah to have a successful career in tech. Perhaps you should reflect on those beliefs, and whether they are based on objective facts or perhaps something you tell yourself to avoid feeling inadequate about your interpersonal skills.
I think the other browsers were added after the fact.
I get what you're saying, that the docs dont really follow an overarching theme. Thankfully, stackoverflow fills in the rest.

> I can't understand what the authors/developers were trying to achieve when writing it.

I can't speak for them, but event-driven designs are a great alternative to procedural polling / event loop designs. I am not sure, but I think there's a relationship to the functional programming style where you say "when there's data, do this to it". So I think what they're trying to accomplish is to enable FP paradigms in python. You could write a coroutine that says "yield until there's data, when there is, transform it".

I used it with zeromq [1] to route messages between a few C++ programs that all work together. So my python program is a "supervisor" task that sends heartbeat messages to my binary programs over zeromq. Asyncio is handy for timing the heartbeats (because you can say "in 2 seconds, do this") and reading the message queue. I also hooked it up to inotify, so I can do "echo SOME_COMMAND > command.txt" and as soon as command.txt is written to, my supervisor gets a notification, reads the file, and processes the command. I almost lost my sanity to get it working, but once I got it, I really like it. One tip though, dont try to mix async and sync programming. Go big or stay home.

It looks like overall a classic mistake of trying to go too fast too soon.

The issue with taking on VC capital is that you need to be in control of how you spend that money, and if you don't need it, then don't take it.

There are also challenges with any business in crossing the chasm. Selling to more customers, or a different set of customers is akin to searching for product market fit a second time and is tricky like the first.

The underlying business fundamentals are also critical.

A great example of a company taking on VC money but growing slowly and methodically is Github. They raised their Series A well after they had established significant revenue and were already profitable for many years.

Though they did get into an extravagent office that was largely unnecessary but they used the extra funds to double down on their own infrastructure and to expand github into the Enterprise. This shift to the enterprise was about finding product market fit with a different set of customers and also about updating the company culture.

But luckily they had revenue, profit, and great advisors to hep them navigate the turbulent waters which allowed them to grow but not crumble under their own weight.

It looks like Nasty Gal just did too many things at once. Moving to manufacturing, warehousing, retail brick and mortar stores, staffing up the company with senior hires that probably weren't a culture and product fit.

One of these errors is costly enough but taken together we now see the results.

Had they instead grown more organically, focused on what was working and double down they could have taken on significantly less money, continued to grow, and still be in business today.

But of course all analysis is easy from the sidelines and the inside story is rarely told.

None the less for a business to be bootstrapped and survive so many years it had to be profitable, then you take on VC money and it falls apart the overall theme is clear.

That's not an indictment on VC money either, because Google, Facebook, Snap, Twitter, Apple, all wouldn't be here without it.

I have no doubt that many military leaders would defy commands to kill non-aggressors that they have a sense of kinship with. Unlike the civil war, we don't have the moral high ground provided by slaver to drive men to kill their brothers.

I suspect that the federal government would try to negotiate a secession that gave them some power over the newly formed nation, in order to "give the people what they want" while maintaining the status quo as much as possible.
What gives me real hope is the insertion of vim modes into GUI editors. It lets me use languages that need IDE assistance to be practical (I'm looking at you, Scala), while still holding on to the Old Ways.
that's actually not true. we statically compiled the binary to include all qt dependencies and it ran out of the box - remember we were installing on low end POS machines and pyqt worked beautifully.

Qt does not need to be dynamically linked. In fact the commercial versions of qt have even better toolchains.
The bulk of U.S. naval forces in California are in the San Diego region. It's possible the U.S. could negotiate a border that leaves the naval bases as well as the Marine Corps base at Camp Pendleton as part of the United States. (The entire swath of Southern California below Los Angeles.)
That isn't an appropriate description of how PageRank works.
If everyone has a personal algorithm for ranking the people, then you have the same system with the same problems.

Everyone already has a personal measure of value for the people they're voting on and a system for computing that value.

Ed: If you don't have personalized algorithms, the algorithm selection process will be co-opted to create an autocracy.

We actually see a blend of those problems in the modern system, where voters have disengaged from the primary process and allow the aggregate ranking algorithm to go unchecked.

Of course, more ranking algorithms doesn't resolve how you mediate conflicting outputs (which you've failed to address) and why that would produce better outcomes than elections.

"The article seems to be a good example of why people don't trust the press anymore."

I agree it's possible. It's a combo of facts either side might use, facts cherry-picked for one side, logical fallacies, and pure rhetoric. I think there's more to it, though. These techniques go way back to point that my first analysis of logical and rhetorical persuasion was the Declaration of Independence that used both. Old media articles are a laugh, too, given their bias was so obvious.
There are two types of mistakes for VCs:

1 - Investing in the wrong company

2 - Missing the right company

The first bucket has limited financial downside. (You only lose what you invested) The real cost is time and attention. (An investor can only sit on a fixed amount of boards)

The second can be a lot more painful, because the upside can be 10-100x. Missing out on Salesforce (or Yelp, or pick your winner) can be even tougher.
Yes. It's a different thing to have partners in the legislature vs 2 of the most powerful states willing to join your new country.

I don't know if the USA could be remotely the same if NY, MA, TX, and FL seceeded. I do know that they wouldn't at the same time, just by the nature of geography.

(US centric response)

I'm not sure if this was a rhetorical question...but the answer is that districts are drawn by the ruling party in order to assure its continued dominance. The incentives for these legislators are totally different from Amazon's.

A very interesting example happened in Georgia in the 1990s. The Republicans and the Black Caucus (who are mostly Democrats) worked together to pack black voters into a few concentrated districts. This resulted in both more black Democratic legislators and more Republican legislators.
Well, keep in mind how much harder might be to catch someone messing with traffic with radio signals of some sort than by physically being present and visible and putting nonsensical signs in the road. I do think it would be more common.
Alfred as a launcher it's free and way more efficient than spotlight. But just as the comment above, paid version is really nice and worth that price. Even deserve more. There is a website packal.org for workflows. It's amazing. Really miss fuzzy search on Gnome-shell or windows search.
You forgot the incentives for the seller. A home sale is likely the biggest transaction that most people are ever involved in. A traditional seller is more likely to hold off for the right buyer or price. For a bank, it is just one of many transactions. They are less likely to hold out for a specific price and will be happy to sell for 90 cents on the dollar to simply move on to the next transaction.

He talks about investing in an S&P 500 index fund, which probably would be VFINX/VFIAX.

There is some good discussion of this on the Bogleheads forums.
This seems like a really strange argument to double down on. There is an overlap of people who discount harrassment based on salary, and people who discount fatal brutality by citing an unimportant crime. Instead it's the same outlook on how society should work that opposes both abuses. While people can choose to work harder on one problem, ranking them and deciding one should be ignored is a good tactic for insuring there isn't a critical mass of people fighting any injustice.

Furthermore, the type of people that want to invest in companies that decrease systemic racism and harassment experienced by their riders should also be concerned about similar problems at places closer to home. Framing these abuses as though they are not all different manifestations of failing to recognize other people's humanity on some level really undermines any progress.

Yes. If anything, the bigger issue is national debt. It can be broken out into investments versus borrowing for transfer payments, but either way the #s come out much higher. And it's easier for consumers to walk away from debt in a bankruptcy than it is for a country.
The cases are different.

It was the original maintainers who forked MariaDB off MySQL over a concern for software openness, which sounds like a good reason to fork.

A python2.7 fork will have no reason other than "We don't want to use the new version of the language". I doubt if any Linux distros would replace their python2.7 package with the fork, even after the EOL of 2.7.
My belief is that AI eventually replaces at least some aspects of "democracy".

People often conceive democracy is a pinnacle of development for society but nature doesn't care about democracy. It selects for efficiency.

And on the average I guess people are really less interested in having their vote count as opposed to having a greater quality of life.

But we aren't close to this point right now socially nor technologically. Might be different in 50 years though. Particularly when the end effects of "democracy" (used loosely because that's all we have ever seen) are seen played out.

I'm not advocating either. Just predicting.
