> But I think most of both sides are generally inclined toward fiscal conservatism

Only in the trivial definition where "fiscal conservatism" means government should spend money only on those things that are important for government to do, and tax no more than is needed to do that.

OTOH, the left and right (even the moderate left and right) have fairly divergent views of what government should do.

> and free market solutions

Even moderates on both the left and right tend to favor wide areas of government-run programs for "good" things, and of absolute prohibition of "bad" things (with overlapping, but conflicting, definitions of what is "good" vs. "bad"), rather than market-based solutions. ("Free market based solutions" is somewhat incoherent: "free market" is a single, universal state; were it achievable by policy at all, it would be exactly one solution, you can't have multiple of them.)

> while ensuring people in poverty are taken care of.

Even moreso than "fiscal conservatism", this is only a point of disagreement if it has no coherent definition, so that it is equivocation. Sure, the and the right would agree with the phrase, but mean radically different things by it.
> ... heroin market, smack dab ...

Heh. That must be deliberate.
This sounds really interesting, can you explain it further for a layman? (Not being snarky, I genuinely know very little about chemistry)
I think KBFS is a sort of an add-on to Keybase, which is really quite different from this. Keybase's whole schtick is identity and key management. How do share a file with a stranger without exchanging emails? What happens when you lose the email you signed up with? How do you share keys between your devices without trusting a for-profit company's keystore? Keybase solves those for you, and IMHO is quite novel and useful.

Upspin is a separate thing that focuses entirely on how files should be stored and identified, and (AFAICT) does nothing new regarding identity management. Which is unfortunate, because that seems like the more urgent problem right now.

Consider two directed acyclic graphs where each node has a hash that depends on its value and its parent's hashes. Suppose you have a slow connection and one of the graphs is remote, how do you figure out as efficiently as possible which nodes both graphs have?

The trick is to sample random nodes from the remote graph. If you get back a node that has the same hash as a node in your graph, you know that local and remote have all the same ancestors of the node too. Otherwise, you know that local doesn't have any of the children (on remote) of that node.

Turns out that is basically what mercurial does [1].

Looking at this more closely, it would seem that the primary test they were doing with this was the effectiveness of the external heat exchangers. They had one rack consuming 27kW maximum, but they had 5 large external heat exchangers (of two different designs) and all kinds of external tubing and valves to manage the cooling fluid flow. Seems like overkill unless they were running tests on the effect of different operating temperatures on biofouling and vice versa.

Yeah, the HAL itself does not help much for hardware issues. But if tooling was built for automated on-device tests (to test your HAL and app logic), then you have a much better chance of having a system which can help you reproduce spurious hardware failures. For instance using generative techniques like fuzzing on the software side, or just a predictable test-patterns which can be observed with scope/logic-analyzer.
On the testbench side use temperature stressing, under/overclocking, under/overvolting, adding capacitance or inductance to signal or power lines, modifying grounding schemes, can be done to try to provoke the situation more reliably and (maybe) get a better understand of the problem.

Unless you dig into the technical ladder of each company, its hard to say that Staff SE is the same everywhere.

No, it doesn't, because, again, "La Raza" isn't an organization. It's a name fragement used by literally thousands of different unrelated organizations.

I'm sick and tired, too. Yesterday same 'retarded-monkey' style interview for a company here in Ireland. They require 5+ years of C ++ on Linux, knowledge of the standard library, design and implementation of high performance, scalable, distributed and resilient systems. Questions: implement a stack, traverse a b-tree, Caesar cipher, an example of polymorphism, etc.
Honestly I felt they stolen 2 days of my life! I'm not a noob! In the last 20 years I had not the necessity to encrypt a socket with the Caesar cipher, nor to write a stack from scratch! How do you suppose I could show you that I can write in "high performance, scalable, distributed and resilient systems" ? Seriously they think this is a interviews for seniors? One of them asked me the date of birth "It's illegal but we need for it Security Reasons", yes, sure, take my vocabulary and look up "junior"!
But the basis for the "fact check" is right there on the site, they aren't hiding anything. State licensure is a reasonable standard. It's otherwise difficult to specify exactly what should and shouldn't be covered. It would also be more federal control. An editorial can claim that it legitimizes something, but clarifying what the ACA actually does (regardless of what you and I think of the effects) and concluding that it is misleading isn't editorializing.

Fringe feminists try and use this stat to build a general sense of unease with their followers.

This primes the reader for a few anecdotes of women being unfairly passed over for promotion and the reader walks away thinking there is a widespread issue of women being treated poorly in the workplace.

White nationalists do the same thing. It is a fact that African Americans make up a disproportionate amount of murderers by race.

White nationalists will then use a few anecdotes of African Americans killing innocent white families and the reader walks away with a negative impression of African Americans.

And now see what I've just done with my comment: I've linked white nationalists and feminists.

By placing these two examples together I am connecting them for the reader and subtly discrediting these feminists.

It's a bit unclear how email-based identifiers should work when publishing long-lived, public files.

In particular, which email address should you use? Will the general public learn your email address? What about people who want to post publicly and keep their email addresses private?

What happens if you switch email providers?

Also, there is there any provision for actually making public files available via https? How would that work?

For the moment, using your github username feels safer, since they are public from the beginning, intended to be permanent, and detached from your email addresses. A Twitter account is another intentionally-public userid that's not tied to anything else.

I'll give it a try.

Why arrest an addict? Its because by attaching a punishment to the behavior we attempt to alter the fundamental utility calculation that is taking place when someone decided to take a hit. That person knows it is illegal to take that hit, but they also know two additional things. First they are going to enjoy it, a lot. Secondly the chances of being caught are very slim. In an attempt balance this calculation on the side of "don't do the drugs" we make the penalty for getting caught harsher and harsher. The idea being if you make the penalty harsh enough eventually people will see its not worth it and they will choose not to do the drugs.

While you might immediately reply that this is nonsense since the addicts are not driven by rational thought in that moment when they are seeking their next fix there are many people who aren't as fatalistic about the rationality of people in that moment, and the penalty isn't really about _that_ person. Its about the person who is choosing to take their first hit, or who is on the rebound and is thinking about relapsing. That stiff penalty might just be the factor that makes a recovering addict not go back to his old habit.

The case against punitive policy's isn't as cut and dry as your comment might make it out to be, and unfortunately our understanding is still evolving. There is a lot that goes into policy making besides just what to do with someone addicted right there in that moment.
> Those who have already got hooked are pretty much doomed already

That is definitely not true (you can recover from an addiction and there are examples all around you) and a really bad policy to follow if you really want to eradicate addiction, since you are basically marginalizing large groups of people. Saying that you need to "save" those who are not addicted implies that everyone is at risk, but the mechanics of addiction vary from person to person and are heavily influenced by socioeconomic background.

Please refer to professionals that work in this field before proposing approaches like this.
Not arresting someone who is doing something illegal (drugs, or anything else) then sets a precedence that it's ok to engage in that behaviour. So while not arresting that one particular person might be beneficial to them, it doesn't benefit society as a whole and may end up normalising undesirable behaviour.

She does act to change her fate. In one case, she tells Hannah that she doesn't know the word she's looking for, but then she picks the up the phrase "non-zero-sum" specifically because she remembered that future scene, and is then able to tell Hannah the phrase that Hannah was asking sbout.

I suspect that making a decision to seek out a phone that works and placing a call to a phone number you never had access to counts as a conscious effort, rather than being the behaviour of a mindless automaton.

If knowledge of the consequences of an action means taking that action is no longer the act of a conscious being, then what you are suggesting is that people who plan ahead are not conscious.

I can confirm.

Growing up in the south, as a non-white, it's not if you've been mistreated, but how many times PER DAY. Your identity is that of an outsider. You're not part of the white culture.

It's so common that it just becomes the usual part of life, and you deal with it from there.

You are definitely lacking any idea of the experience of other races.

Mormons, they go around house-to-house trying to convert people.

I would imagine that the reason many companies are reluctant to do this (or at least don't advertise it) is because advising employees whether they should or should not do it amounts to giving financial planning advice. Asking hard enough probably means showing you have weighed your own financial situation and understand the risks.
In theory at least, prison is a safe and isolated place to put someone while they detox. Much like with crazy people, isolating them where they can't hurt other people or be hurt isn't a terrible idea. I would say the criminal record and it's repercussions is a separate issue.
A 1 GW reactor puts 2 GW+ heat into the sea, a river, or lake.

I remember when OAuth was first announced, and the use case was basically this - although this was before social networks became unanimous so it was more like sharing your Flickr photos with a photo printing site. It was a nice idea 10 years ago before everyone built their walls.

To describe the content, the idea was everyone would use microformats:

http://microformats.org/wiki/hmedia
This gets a lot lower with differing latitudes and seasonal and daily cloud cover/evening time - closer to 100 W/m2 [1]. So over a day you'd get 2.4 kWh. In comparison an electric space heater uses about 1 kWh of energy in an hour.

So how much will 2.4 kWh change the temperature of a cubic meter of water at the ocean surface?

Density of water = 1000kg/1m3 so mass = 1000 kg

2.4 kWh = 8640 kJ

Heat_Energy = Conductance * Mass * change_in_temp

8640kJ = 4.186 kJ/(kg⋅K) * 1000kg * xC

x = 2C

So solar heat will change the first meter of water by about 2C over the course of a day. That's a small number b/c solar radiation is not a huge contributer to temperature swings. Instead what will effect the temperature difference is the seasonal change. If we can calculate the heat energy gained or lost due to seasonal extremes and water temp, then we can figure out what the range of acceptable heat energy is for surface water.

"When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best. They're not sending you. They're not sending you.

There's a whole lot of bigotry to unpack in that, but the biggest is the implied conspiracy in which undocumented immigrants are sent by Mexico.
