Not sure where the conspiracy is.

However, Trump says climate change is a Chinese hoax and bullshit. Trump's advisor Myron Ebell says the environmental movement is "the greatest threat to freedom and prosperity in the modern world". Trump's head of the Environmental Protection Agency is Scott Pruitt, who believes the EPA shouldn't even exist.

Trump's Secretary of State is Rex Tillerson, former boss of Exxon. Exxon is being investigated for spending decades ignoring its own scientists’ research, which tied fossil fuels to climate change. It also has a $500 billion oil deal with Putin, for which Trump will have to remove sanctions.

Trump also says he's going to bring back "beautiful clean coal".

So, under Trump, there's a green light to destroy the US environment and the whole planet for the pursuit of profit.

Trump is using the presidency as a marketing platform to promote himself, his properties (including Trump Tower and Mar a lago), his daughter and in-laws. The GOP is using it to give very rich people $600bn in tax cuts while ensuring that (if its AHCA goes through), tens of thousands of ordinary Americans die because of a lack of health insurance.

What's going on in broad daylight is bad enough. The behind-the-scenes corruption is probably worse.

We have the same right to bear arms and to protect ourselves whether we live in an urban or rural locale. The problem isn't the guns, it is that urban demagogues decided who should be able to do what, making urban people slaves to them. I personally think NYC would be just fine if the right to bear arms were fully restored to the people who live there and that it is a travesty of all we hold dear as Americans that such abridgement of fundamental rights has been not only allowed, but cheered for!
I can't help but think the apathy expressed in this article leads to political disruptions. If people say something along the lines of "what does my vote matter" and then the article ends with "the centrist party will probably win," then people like Wilders will win.

> If there is not equality of outcome, then either: (1) no equality of opportunity exists; or (2) there is some confounding factor.

That's exactly what everyone is arguing, there are cultural (sub-cultural) issues and it's probably up to the subculture to fix them. You can't fix the lack of women by discriminating against men, you have to get them interested in computers as kids. You can't fix the lack of black people by discriminating against white people and asians, you have to do it by ensuring they have schools just as good as the white kids and quite possibly a lot of sub-cultural issues.

fyi. There is no such thing as guys, and girls being friends. I know women think they have guy friends, but those are just guys that want to have sex with them. Consider this next time a female questions this line of thought. Would their best guy friend turn them down for sex, with the response of "I don't want to ruin our friendship", of course not.
Yeah. The thing is, he was probably in no position to actually get that kind of thing as some contractor. He did what he could, expecting that people would be horrified. He should have read his history.
I appreciate the disability community's "hand up, not hand out" attitude. But Bloomberg TV's and CNBC's closed captioning for example, are nearly incomprehensible much of the time. Far, far more of the disability community's members are impacted by timely, accurate financial news than the ones who wanted to take UCB's free video courses.

So why single out UCB? Why single out free educational content instead of for-profit content with a wider, more actionable impact?

I understand UCB pulled the videos. From my layman's perspective, that doesn't actually address the DOJ's enforcement action. The Title II compliance demand still stands even after taking down the videos from public access. I am concerned that UCB will simply ban all the videos from even student access, and only allow them back into use as they are vetted, one by one, slowly, by their Web Accessibility Services team, and now with expensive attorney time on top, and only when an actual disabled student attends a specific course.

The disability-compliant transcription processing cost is about 2.5X more expensive than stenography transcription. An all-day deposition will cost in the range of about $1K, and 8 hours of closed caption transcription will run around $2.4K. Yet court stenographers are not mandated absolutely everywhere on the off-chance a court-accepted record might be needed, only in a court where their output is required to make a decision. So why is the criteria for ADA compliance set so much broader?

Would Gallaudet University have pressed the case if the fewer than a handful of courses that were desired were re-done and transcribed to meet their accuracy requirements? If not, what is the rationale for a blanket injunction to transcribe all courses regardless of demonstrated need? The services to meet compliance are very expensive, is advocating for indiscriminate enforcement as a blanket policy economically realistic at this point of automated transcription development?

I want to see us reach the point where all media is seamlessly, automatically and practically for free transcribed for the disabled in a variety of formats. But we're still in a world ruled by scarcity for quite a while longer, and I am currently unable to reconcile the enormous costs placed upon society at large and content creators in particular. Please share your perspective, thanks in advance.

Wow, I've seen so many comments by climate change deniers using arguments so similar to yours that I literally had deja vu.

The horseshoe nature of politics will never cease to amuse me, though; thanks for the example.

Also, if a hypothesis is supported by simple studies but falls apart under more complex ones, it might be too simplistic a hypothesis. Almost as if sexism (and sexism guilt-slinging) wasn't an entirely black-and-white problem. Who'd have thought?

Finding a Dev Job Within the Internet of Things
Coming from a Web Development background I want to work at a company that focuses on building both hardware and software products. There's a lot of hardware products nowadays, but in Toronto, there doesn't seem to be many jobs that are in this sector. At least for a Contractor (I have been doing contract work for the last few years as a Web Developer).

I'm looking for jobs now, what should I look out for?
> pretend there are no patterns.

The only pattern is this: Trump says something outrageous and gets the media focused on what he said. This continues until he says another outrageous thing, attracting attention at will. He's like a human teasing a cat with a bamboo pole with a piece of yarn attached.

I don't assume any motive other than to control media attention. GWB used this technique when Rumsfeld said various outrageous things (such as about torture), and WJC used the technique effectively during his scandals.

What is Trump's motive? Certainly his remarks during the campaign about wanting better relations with Russia were intended to stir the pot, not to (stupidly) telegraph some sort of quid-pro-quo with the Russian government.

> Now you're walking back your claim by conflating it with cyberhacking?

I am not making the claim as my own view, simply stating that one of the objectives of all this is to get Americans to take cyber warfare seriously. The likely scenario for cyber attacks are surprise attacks on infrastructure that will not be easy to attribute blame for, so the public must be ready to suspect the likely foes so that consent for military action can be granted in a timely fashion.

> Many Americans love our country, in spite of its mistakes. We believe the solution is to push for it to be better in accordance with its ideals, not advocate that foreign adversaries undermine it or to appease those who do.

This is a silly comment. Of course Americans want America to be successful. I think you overlook the decades long strategy the US has had toward Russia which, if it is in fact part of Russia's strategy, the election meddling fits into, as does the vilification of Russia.

> Any right-thinking American is indignant at any attack on our freedom and democracy.

Yet in this case the "attack" simply revealed one of our pols to be a bit more corrupt and dishonest than anyone realized. It's hard to say whether this actually harmed the US. FWIW the closure of the Clinton foundation after donations dried up following the scandal suggest that it was a gray market campaign finance scheme.

> Any right-thinking American is indignant at any attack on our freedom and democracy.

I figured you represented the right-wing view, and yes, the American right is very hawkish about Russia.

Firefox is cross platform. It has to support Win32/64 sound, Linux (alsa/pulse), whatever the hell FreeBSD and MacOS use ..

Back in 2013 I had a lot of issues with Steam games not running correctly with PulseAudio (lots of static instead of sound half the time I tried to start a game). Sometimes doing a killall on the pulseaudio server would help, sometimes it would not. On that machine, I added a -pulseaudio USE flag in Gentoo and removed it entirely.

On my current machines, I do use Bluetooth audio and find PA easier to deal with. I also no longer play games on my Linux boxes.

I'm also old enough to remember the horrors of ESound and the KDE one (whatever it was called) and how audio would constantly be out of sync.

Pulse is a lot better and seems to do well today. Still Pulse has some huge limitations. Run two X servers and use either consolekit or systemd? Good luck trying to get audio to continue playing on both X servers at the same time. It won't. Want to run MPD as a system daemon? You'll need to figure out how to enable TCP in Pulseaudio.

I don't run SystemD, but I do run Pulseaudio. Those are my choices. Gentoo still gives me that choice, which is why I use it as my home and work distro. Void is another great Linux distribution that gives you such choice as well.

Like I started with, Firefox has to support a ton of audio backends for various operating systems. We're not talking about maintaining OSS support. Pulse still depends on ALSA in the Linux kernel for it to work, so ALSA isn't going away any time soon. There's no reason for Firefox to need to depend on that intermediary layer and remove direct access when that already exists.
"прекрасно" consists of two parts : "пре" ("very" here) and "краса" ("beauty") in Russian so it is pretty close etymologically to English beautiful. Slightly different connotation in this particular case but still close enough.

> Trump's counterintuitive, but consistent behavior.

What behavior? I read a few more articles on this and unless Trump is very stupid this is NOT the way he'd strengthen Russia at the expense of the US.

If he wanted to do that he'd likely just do it behind the scenes, not appoint a cabinet full of people on the payroll of Russia :)
I don't see how you inferred that from my post.

You're making the assumption that email is the right medium for this kind of information. But people are busy, their in-boxes are already too full, and they have too much important email to read without being interrupted by unimportant stuff.

As one of those busy people (I'm a senior developer), I would not want to receive those kinds of emails from a vendor of a product I'm using. Receiving that information as emails means that I have to do the work of saving the emails that I find useful, and also that I get interrupted by the emails that I don't find useful. I'd much prefer for the vendor set up a well-organized web site that has FAQs, tutorials, etc. that I could search or bookmark. Make it easy to find that information from the main "help" page of your product. Also, create a blog on your web site for product news. If it's useful, I'll subscribe to it in my RSS reader and read it when I have some spare time. (Make it a real blog. Don't assume that I want to follow your company on Twitter or Facebook, where there are all kinds of ads and other junk competing for my attention.)

I think the theory at the end of the article sounds quite plausible.

Namely that blood types are playing rock-paper-scissors against bacteria / viruses. Pathogens can learn to target a single blood type if it's predominant (just like you can learn you should play Paper if your opponent usually goes for Rock). So it's better to have a population of mixed blood types, and anytime it starts to get out of whack, disease exerts a force that disproportionately takes the newly popular blood type out of the gene pool, pushing back toward equilibrium. Just like the Nash equilibrium RPS strategy is rand().

How to test this experimentally? I'm no molecular biologist, but maybe let viruses reproduce in an environment where one antigen is present for enough generations for them to mutate to have increased effectiveness attacking it (maybe you can determine this from an increasing viral reproduction rate?), then a testable hypothesis that would confirm the theory is the mutation also caused the viruses to lose efficiency at attacking another blood type's antigen.
The behaviour is due to our culture.

> i wonder if online dating will become so bad for men, that it will be bad for women too, as the quality men realize its not a favorable arena.

So the assumption here is that if something that works for a lot of other people (even in this thread it's about 50/50 amongst the men in the "worked pretty well for me" vs "didn't work" camp) doesn't work for you is that it's everyone else's problem?

It is, like everything, a sort of game. The successful are the ones who adapt. That can mean changing approaches, trying new things, developing new interests, changing standards, etc.

I did online dating off and on for three years before getting into a long term relationship through it, and the one thing I can tell you is that by the end of it (a) I sent different sorts of messages, (b) I had different sorts of profile pictures, and (c) I behaved differently on dates. I paid attention, I didn't assume I deserved anything, I made adjustments, and it paid off. Sure, I'm jealous of the extremely good looking people who don't have to try, but you don't have to be one of them to find success.
"Someone said 1/50... I think it was closer to 1/5 women would respond."

thats me,

I'm pretty sure if a plague wiped out all men on earth but me, I still wouldn't get 1/5. 1/50 isn't an exaggeration for me. most websites make it hard to track such things, but the coffee meets baggle app made it easy. out of 100 i had 2 reciprocation, 1 saying it was an accident. out of the next 65 had 1 more before I deleted the app. on traditional dating sites like match, pof, etc I had similar though un-quantified results.
Also mid-30s and like you, I very much enjoyed the hey-days of OkCupid, that is before Tinder landed and everyone began to swipe dozens of faces per minute and express their personality via unicode icons. That very moment online dating lost all its splendor for me and I was instantly part of the "older set". Which frankly I don't mind a bit. Sure, there are probably still old-school platforms out there, and with plenty of the "as much as a decade older than you", vegan women, but that's uh for another day (or decade)

What work you get for free? You can reuse wrapper components... can even tether the route and the wrapper together, so it's easier to manage your route/component mapping...

<Router ...>
<DefaultPageLayout path="/" component={DefaultPage} />
...

So the templating benefits to html/jquery are a bit of a mixed bag, and if you're doing React + Node, you can start off with your fallback route being the app, and later add server-side rendering if in a time crunch.

I will say the initial setup can be higher, if you don't like the structure of create-react-app, but most people new to react coming from a PHP and Angular background probably should stick closer to as it comes in the box. Wiring up redux is the biggest paradigm shift though... unidirectional workflows mean much better predictability in terms of state with far fewer bugs. Most of the times I see weird state issues in websites/apps lately they're angular 1 though.
