You're right, both parties are different.

But combined, their views represent only a narrow slice of the political spectrum.

Both parties have their own flavor of expanding the powers of the government, while no one in office is advocating reduction of government power.

Sure, the republicans occasionally give lip service to the idea, but they're all the same as the dems.

I guess I'm a bit fed up being told "pick a party that represents you" and finding absolutely zero options who don't make me feel dirty or stupid.

I maintain that both parties are the same, neither is capable of delivering real change. (A perfect example is the last US presidential election. Trump and Hillary? FFS.)
These restrictions seem more about preventing people from using the feature to share with friends/acquaintances rather than a misunderstanding that non-traditional families exist. I guess this is why pretty much everything these days needs an asterisk next to it.

I doubt the programmers had any say in what the restrictions would in the first place.
Not sure if your analogy is correct. If someone wants an all white company is discrimination. But if someone wants swedish speaking people and they all happen to be white it's no longer a problem.

Same with the tenants. I might prefer to rent my property to a woman because she takes care of the place better and is less likely to throw a party. Is that a discrimination?

Point is if there's an objective reason behind it then it's hard to consider it discrimination, even if it segments the groups on race/gender/religion.

Interesting story behind the creation of that: David Singleton was one of my "classmates" in Andrew Ng's ML Class in the Fall of 2011 - I was both amazed and pleased that he managed to create this demonstration after we had played around with building a neural network using Octave, and after seeing the many video clips (about ALVINN) that were a part of the class that showed how it worked.

That class ultimately led to the founding of Coursera - the class the Sebastian Thrun and Peter Norvig were running at the same time (AI Class) let to Udacity. Coursera still offers that original ML Class (called something else now).

As a part of Udacity's Self-Driving Car Engineer Nanodegree, one of the projects in the first term was to get a simulated car to drive around a track. Many (if not most) of us chose to implement NVidia's End-to-End CNN approach (there were also a few that repurposed ImageNet) - either in whole or in a modified form. Ultimately, with the right amount of training and datasets, the car would drive well around the track.

I find it amazing how far we've come in the short amount of time between that ML Class course and today, in the development of machine learning. I just hope we don't fall into another winter that'll take a decade or more to pull back out of...

It may be accurate, but it doesn't mean it's understandable.
As great as this is, it brings up two problems:

1. VPNs are slow: They will never get widespread adoption because people pay for internet speeds and want them. Not to mention many people use internet that is so slow that VPNs are just not viable. I try to use a VPN at least when I go on public WiFi, but I've been to hotels were the service was so slow that the internet would just not work while using a VPN.

2. The article encourages ad blocking. The problem is that a lot of the web relies on ad revenue. Content doesn't just produce itself without funding. Yes, most content creators are finding alternate means of getting money, but we still need to keep in mind that this is an issue.

Therefore, while VPNs and Adblockers can help, I just don't see them as viable enough strategy to take down the ISPs. You are both slowing the user's ability to get content and the creator's ability to make it. Yes, the privacy focused community can use these tools, but everyone knew we liked privacy already. It isn't until the mainstream users speak up or do something that we can get stuff done.
It's certainly obvious with minimal logical thinking. But when you think about it a little more, you realize that such an argument doesn't actually make sense.

I thought eating fat with sugar was better than eating sugar alone since the fat slowed down the absorption of the sugar, thus dampening the insulin response.
I love my TI-84 SE and my TI-89. So much so, in fact, that I have a TI-89 on my phone. I always get fascinated looks when I pull it out and type out a complicated expression.
This.
Sugar and simple or highly processed carbs cause your body to release insulin in order to regulate blood sugar. Insulin switches off any fat burning and tells the body to store fat.

Whenever your diet consists of carbs and fat nutrients, the fat is going to be immediately stored in your fatty tissues, and any excess carbs that you can't burn quickly will go there also.
Git rerere – underappreciated feature that can save you time on big merges
I wonder if there's a name for seeing a product with flaws and attributing the flaws to dumb programmers. (e.g. a game has unrealistic female characters with big ridiculous boobs -> programmers are horny idiots)

And of course, nobody enjoys using a product/service and then thinks, wow, they must have amazing programmers!
The catch though is that you need fat to live. That is, without fat in your diet you're not able to digest plants.

And if for whatever reason you're not eating enough fat, your body will crave sugar.

So basically eat healthy fats. If you don't eat enough healthy fat (e.g. from walnuts), your body will start craving unhealthy fats. And if you don't eat either then your body will crazy sugar as a last resort.

As far as I can tell that's basically the secret to staying healthy, just make sure to get enough walnuts and avocado or whatever, and once you have your RDI of healthy fats then craving unhealthy fats or sugar won't be an issue.

From what I understand, I think it was mostly the Protestant revival movements of the 18th and 19th century that are responsible. If you look for the sources that were not curated and censored by those same prudes of the 19th century, the very Catholic people of the Medieval period up until the 18th century were astonishingly earthy and frank about sexual matters.

Yes.

For me, probably most is the highly sedentary office lifestyle.

Compounding this problem, I more or less live alone and thus 'community food' (eating out) is my best access to non-frozen pre-prepared meals. I refuse to do leftovers (this is not negotiable).

The main problem with eating out is the portion size. Everything is insanely large.

>Are all those votes suspect?

No because those representatives didn't vote in a way that favors the companies that donated. If I bribe 10 politicians and 4 of them don't do what I want, does that that mean the other 6 who did are now above suspicion as well?

Voting in a way that favors a company that donates money to your political campaign creates at the very least an appearance of a conflict of interest. In those cases we should rightly be suspicious.

>I find it dishonest for an article to say that corporations donated to a candidate, when they actually mean that a corporation donated to a PAC

Do you find it dishonest when an article says a corporation donated to a candidate, when actually they mean that a corporation donated to a candidate's campaign?

A candidate only personally benefits from campaign donations insofar as they help them get reelected--the same way they benefit from PACs.

There isn't much distinction at this point because PACs routinely operate as extensions of campaigns, even though they are technically prohibited from coordinating. It doesn't stop them from doing things like winking and putting up random video clips with no audio on the campaign websites that PACs can just happen to download to make advertisements with.

>or that employees donated to a candidate

I agree that this is a little more misleading.

>AT&T alone has 5,600 employees in Tennessee

That's true, but my guess is that most of the money that was donated from employees of the telecom industry came from a much smaller number of high level employees donating near the maximum.

>The human race would easily survive without seafish. Maybe in smaller numbers, but for example in the inlands people eat much less seafish, as they don't have seas nearby ;)

If you really want to go down that route then the human race can easily survive without clean air, water, ground or any animal life on this planet. Why would we need any of that? We, at least a few of us, could just as well be living in sealed underground bunkers powered by thermal energy while eating mushrooms all day and recycling our pee and sweat. Doesn't that sound like a lovely future? ;)

>A century ago not much seafish was available in the inlands, yet the European inland population was comparable in numbers to the current population.

They didn't need seafish because they did have enough land for agriculture, many other places, especially insular nation states and Asia in general, did not and do not have that luxury. I also doubt that current European inland population numbers are in any way comparable with the population numbers of a century ago, back in 1900 global population didn't even break 2 billion, now we are at over 7 billion.

I think you missed my point, which is you are legally unable to do this. Small businesses operating in the UK are required to pay tax within the UK, as is the case with much of Europe.

Further, unless the countries have a tax treaty, you might incur double tax and an arrest warrant may be issued if you fail to comply with the rules.

Sure, I'm well aware that big companies play games with this sort of thing, but the rules are pretty stingent and your SMB cannot take afvantage of the same complex legal structures.
I feel like many people are missing a crucial distinction. Work != a job. The goal is to kill off the need for the latter.

As long as humans are humans, we'll always want to do something. We'll set ourselves personally meaningful goals and strive to achieve them. That is still work. But that's totally different than organizing your life around involuntarily spending most of it doing things you don't care about so that you can put bread on the table, and so that you have that table in the first place.

Statistically there are far more large-scale hydroelectric projects in the US that will kill thousands of people if they fail if those facilities are not properly maintained. A dam failure is unavoidable without lots of pre-planning, and even then, as recent events have shown, you can anticipate a problem and still not be able to deal with it.

Nuclear plants can, in a worst case scanario, be given the SCRAM treatment to shut them down hard. If that procedure is successful then the reactor is off.

The worst case is probably like Chernobyl but involving multiple reactors. The probability of that is pretty low not only because Chernobyl served as a wake-up call, but because what happened at Chernobyl was an unfortunate chain of events that focused on only one reactor.

So in the worst case secnario you have a disaster which creates a new national park-sized area you can't live in. Compared with coal plants which used to render large portions of the continent unlivable for the hottest, haziest, smoggiest days in the summer, that's an acceptable risk.

I use a VPN and agree it's a solution, but imagine this same line of thinking were applied to telephone lines. What if tomorrow, we removed all regulation preventing telephone providers from scraping your conversations or selling them to the highest bidder.

How fast would the market be able to respond, and what kind of damage would be done in the meantime?

We regulate based on the public interest. It was in the public interest to place limits on telecom. I don't see any reason to treat the Internet differently.

Contractual. Not a moral issue, not an ethical issue, just that Google doesn't want to deal with people that way.

The first-order issue of Google not wanting to contract with an amorphous group of "family", a word that has basically no agreed-upon meaning (even if there is a legal one it won't match everybody's idea) isn't that horrifying.
