> senator wanted to stop them from posting weather online because it competed with "private sector" weather companies.

I wish more voters knew and understood this. Amazing public services have been constantly under attack long before trump so particular rich people can get richer.
The fact that ALL NATIONS take half-hearted and half-assed measures to confront what the pro-AGW crowd paints as an extinction risk

That's part of the problem. There is no "extinction risk," at least with regard to human life, and anyone who says differently is either misinformed or lying. In the latter case, it's easy to argue that they have an economic agenda that has nothing to do with climate.

Either way, such absurd exaggerations make it hard to sell the real truth, which is that AGW appears to be a legitimate problem that demands action.
Yeah that's overboard and I don't think common services should be profitable enterprises, but the notion that you'd have an entity with serious repercussions for doing wrong to the people they swore to protect is not unfound. As it stands now, they are self-preserving entities and collect pensions when they screw up. So while that suggestion you shared is not sensible, we do need a better checks and balance on the police. Something outside of internal affairs, like a BBB at the top of the state department.
If you're going to concede that point (ss) then the same applies to Medicare. This completely destroying your argument coincidentally.
Does it, or is it just using portions of the FreeBSD source code? I.e. TCP stack?
That's probably a part of it, but the budget cuts across the government (outside of defense and law enforcement) are also a realization of goal of at least the Bannon faction of the Trump White House to basically burn the whole system of government to the ground.

>Finally, what kind of woman has no career goals? Usually one with little or no education. Educated men usually aren't interested in such women, unless they're both highly conservative and religious.

Holy cow this is the most judgemental attitude I've heard in a long time. You make being interested in raising a family full time sound like a relic of some ignorant past. Yeah it's a career killer, but the rest of that is just being disrespectful. It's not about having no career goals, it's about prioritizing other things above them.
GBA sp, new 3ds. It's not unheard of.
Well, not OP, but that was all very understandable to me, and resonated. I'll try to explain some specific points.

>Why do this rather then define an abstract, human-evaluatable, programming language?

The syntax of math is bad for a number of reasons. Making it some big 3D thing isn't going to make that syntax more reasonable.

Math is a language that could learn a lot from programming languages, even if you don't plan on running it on a computer and dealing with all that hassle.

>Making strange squigles on a page doesn't help. Making strange greek symbols on the page doesn't help.
>Ditch the alphabet soup (and yes, even the 5th centry Greek alphabet soupe)

Math is optimized for paper. This makes it a lot less accessible these days. All these custom glyphs are a damn weird idea. Naming your variables "a" wouldn't be accepted in any other languages.

>Abstract common ideas into "functions".

Once you've abandoned the idea of single-letter variable names, it becomes easier to abstract common mathematical ideas into functions and build a great big library of those functions.

> Use logically derived variable names (even if they're 5-10 characters).

Naming your variables "a" wouldn't be accepted in any other languages, and from the outside looks like a pretty silly idea.

>Phi shouldn't mean 30 things depending on the field you're in.

Choose more descriptive variable names.
I've had the same experience. Coming from Express/Node.js and other micro-frameworks in other languages, I yearn for a `mix phoenix.new --no-ecto --no-brunch --no-view --no-controller ...` Basically the bare minimum to serve a piece of HTML or JSON down a pipe.

I ended up doing what Dangeranger said and used Plug, but now I'm finding that phoenix channels would be a lot more ergonomic for the project I'm working on...
This looks really bad for PayPal.

"It did not have an account with the Giving Fund, even though its profile page there included its logo, mission statement and tax identification number."

TLDR; PayPal is soliciting donations for over a million charities, most of whom are unaware of this.
> I don't think it's reasonable to describe a household in the top decile as poorer.

Virtually anybody who lives in the United States cannot be described as "poorer" by your definition, as we're almost all richer than 95% of the world's population.

It's a great word choice - you're just arguing your personal preferences and vauge implications right now. People are poorer than other people, other than Bill Gates. Since we're talking about housing prices in inflated markets right now, there's a huge difference between an engineer making 160k a year vs a director making 400k a year. The engineer is "poorer".

> it's a poor word choice.

Don't you mean it's a less wealthy word choice, since it's in the top decile of words that are appropriate to use in that situation?
Actually, he/she makes quite a bit of sense. And certainly not "clueless". (Aside: using 'with all due respect' does not automatically allow exaggerated and incorrect statements about an individual; that can be rude).

1) A mathematical "proof" can have bugs in it, just like a function. The more esoteric a proof, the less people to verify, the more likelihood for a bug. This is not a joke and happens a LOT: See this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_color_theorem

2) And he/she points out very correctly about the horrid use of mathematical notation in papers. Absolutely abysmal. A great paper is literally wasted because of this.
Ok, you went back and edited your comment to add more detail about what you meant. Yes, you can be a wife who's financially dependent on your husband but still hold a job. It could also happen in reverse, of course.

For the record, I'm not sure how common that actually is vs stay-at-home mom. If you have kids, it becomes glaringly obvious how expensive it is to put kids into daycare. For low-earning mothers with a better-earning husband, it can be really hard to justify working vs staying home to raise the kids. It costs more than minimum wage to put a single kid into daycare.

If you have some stats indicating that most women earn so little as to be financially dependent on their husbands, I'd like to see it.

RDD-DF-DS-SSQL: Examples of and differences between various Spark APIs
I'm talking different countries (re: immigration) and not minority groups within a country. If you don't like Culture A and want Culture B, stay in Culture B's country. If you think Culture B has problems and that's why you want to leave, pause and think that maybe the culture plays a role in those problems and that's why other people don't want it brought to their country.

There is nothing wrong with disagreeing with huge portions of a foreign culture. For example, I have an issue with Sharia Law. Especially the whole "I should be stoned to death" parts of it. As such, anyone who supports Sharia Law can stay the hell out of my country and I will fight to keep it that way. I'm aware there is some number in my country who already support Sharia Law - and I do not want to swing them from "minority with no power" to "majority dragging me into the streets".

>What are you referring to? At a guess, I'd say lolicon/shotacon pornography...

More innocent things, not sexual things. Even in Japan, lolicon/shotacon is not seen as "innocent". I used to get in conversations about these things with a Japanese friend, as he couldn't see what was the problem American's had with certain things. I'll see if I can't find some examples in my old chat logs for you.

>I find the idea of 'culture clash' to be ridiculous, and the reason is that even within cultures there is a huge aemount of variation as to how things should be done. So why are those people legitimate (such as the Japanese Marxists) but those of a different culture are not legitimate?

>It's a very nebulous concept so I do not think that drawing the lines you are drawing makes much sense with regard to actual human interactions.

I'm fine with admitting my line is not very well drawn. In fact, you could call the line I draw completely arbitrary, illogical, and even downright unfair.

I don't identify strongly with any particular culture and am very open to learning from other cultures. I love other cultures. I love the "melting pot" culture of the U.S.A which is, ironically enough, the very thing I disagree with in most other countries. I do not pretend to understand or know the reasons, but the blend of cultures seems to mostly "work" in the US while being a complete disaster in many other countries overall (a few exceptions for some cities/regions that have successfully managed multiculturalism).

This is largely my opinion. I base my opinion on how I see both history and the modern day playing out, from country to country. My issue stems entirely from the "how" they get mixed and not that they "shouldn't mix at all", although I believe some cultures do not "mix as well" as other cultures.
Did you ask for an example for honest debate, or to have a straw man you could pick apart? Because it seems like it's the latter. You're arguing his example and ignoring the larger point (likely intentionally).

>The fact that ALL NATIONS take half-hearted and half-assed measures to confront what the pro-AGW crowd paints as an extinction risk demonstrably contradicts your claim that "the vast majority globally is convinced".

Its actually not; even if it is an extinction risk, if a meaningful difference in risk can't be made absent collective action, you have a massive tragedy of the common problem in which individual states are incentivized to do as little as possible, except what is necessary to signal that they would be open to serious action if there was an agreement on collective action.
> You are a great candidate, and we would like you to interview with this other role

What is the other role companies are suggesting you for? Perhaps your resume, which is helping you get so many PM interviews, doesn't match with where your experience actually is. That's not to say you don't have valuable experience, but it may not align with the role you think it does at other companies even if, in theory, the titles are the same.

Another way to put it, maybe your current PM role and experience is, for some reason, misaligned with what it means to be a PM at the companies you're interviewing with?
Sorry to hear about anyone losing jobs.

The NOAA has been suspected of doctoring the record[1], of all varieties including the satellites once they got control of them[2]. there will be more insider stories of how some conspired to fake AGW data [3]

so I think it likely that the revisions and corrections will be challenged soon and we will see that the revisions had no factual basis. Many will resign, probably jumping before pushed. The cuts are unfortunately prejudging the outcome.

I think this (charity donations) is one of the perfect use cases for the blockchain. To be clear, I am not suggesting Bitcoin, but the underlying blockchain technology.

Having publicly visible transactions will be a huge boost to transparency and shady practices like those described in the article just won't fly. Every other month a news article about banks exploring blockchain tech keep popping up in the media and I hope banks find a way to incorporate blockchain technology into the existing system.

It sounds like they already have a team manually collecting information on charities. It wouldn't be so unreasonable for them to manually write a check to the actual charity after 6 months with no collection, which would take most of the meat away from the lawsuit. The free money would probably help their conversion rates with this trick, too.
I don't necessarily think that the illustrations are what makes this great. They're cute, but the simple and explicit examples with uncontrived situations are what really makes this worthwhile.

It may be that getting into "writing for a coloring book" mode makes people think simpler and "cuter," which lends itself well to quick illustration of complex ideas.

I'd like to see more of this kind of explanation in guides and manuals in general, with the "normal" manuals being for reference when people need to drill down into something specific.

When Google gave me feedback, it was that they thought I didn't seem to care whether or not the code I drew on the board actually worked.

You act like I'm attacking women, I'm not. Most married couples with kids are financially dependent on each other; single income families are no longer the norm either. I don't think it's a stretch to say that within most marriages, moms still dominate the child care side of the marriage and work when they can while dads still dominate the working full time side. And I've already stipulated that most married couples with kids are financially dependent on each other, so it's not just women. I don't have any data to show you, if you think I'm wrong so be it, I really don't care, but this is what I see all around me and the stats you posted I think basically back me up since it's barely over half counting all jobs and I'm only counting real careers that require education since we were discussing that, not just employment.

You seem to really want to make the point that more than half of women work; ok great, but it's a non-sequitur, we weren't talking about jobs, but educated women with careers and more to the point about how many men care about being with educated women with careers. The OP said who but religious and conservative men want an uneducated women, but religious and conservative men account for the majority of men so it's an odd thing to say.

> On what basis do you establish "most likely consensual"

It says so in the article.
Is Consciousness an Illusion?
Additionally, the Razer Core's USB ports just flat out don't work. There's a power short of some sort in the internal USB hub, so that if you plug in a device that draws any more than the lowest amount of power, it cycles through a connecting/disconnecting state, looping forever.

This probably isn't a short; it's more likely a software problem. I can see how they could get into that mess. Remember, with USB, you're only allowed to draw 100mA until you've negotiated with your power source for more, and the power source can say no. USB interface chips enforce this[1], and cut power and send a fault signal if a device pulls too much power.

The Razer Core is basically a docking station. USB-C power is complicated to begin with, and they've set up one of the most complex situations. The way they're using this, the dock is providing power to the laptop, but the laptop is the data master for the USB ports on the dock, which is also providing power to the peripherals. This is something USB-C allows; a device can be a power slave and a USB master at the same time.

This is even more complex. The dock is a source to both sides for power management purposes, but a pass-through for data purposes. This is unusual. I've skimmed the USB-C spec but don't recall that being mentioned. They probably have to MITM the power handshake to get this to work. The laptop is running Windows 10, so they don't control the USB drivers and their power handshake. It's entirely possible that Windows doesn't support that configuration fully.

Weather predictions rely on satellite data, and those predictions underlie warnings and watches for both direct weather hazards (high wind, tornado, etc., warnings) and hazardous consequences of weather (flood/flash flood warnings, etc.)

These, in turn, enable people to take informed actions to protect lives, property, and economic assets.
That does seem to be the case. So I wonder what will happen when facts render their position entirely untenable. It reminds me of the fight to regulate tobacco companies. That took decades of solid evidence.
From the first link:

"Note how a huge swathe of South America has been labelled as “record warmest”. And what is this based on? In fact, there is virtually no temperature data available at all for that particular area, including nearly all of Brazil. The so-called record temperatures in Brazil and neighbouring countries are pure fabrication."

That seems like a pretty bold charge, how does someone who knows nothing about this tell who's telling the truth? Anyone care to weigh in?
