Very interesting comparison, thanks for sharing it. That paradigm-shift may indeed be one of the best analogs that we have to the current on-going changes in human communication.

There was a really good Hardcore History episode that told the story of one town that was an intense focal point of religious/cultural fervor and violence during that time period. The entire city was overtaken by multiple waves of extremely radical Anabaptists, and then was literally besieged by an army for multiple months as the guy in charge of the city tried to regain control. It was a spectacular story, with lots of juicy details. Dan Carlin does a great job of contextualizing and providing perspective, as usual.

I'm fairly religious about my note taking these days because it's been important in my last couple of jobs. But all my notes are written with vim and in markdown format. The markdown isn't important, it just provides some color highlight for quick visual scanning. If I do paper based notes I just end up with paper everywhere but I find I'm more likely to read and write electronic ones. I've developed a system that works for me and I regularly check notes I wrote over a year ago.

I have a notes project for general notes and a notes folder within each significant project I work on. Each issue I work on will get it's own file. This is very specific to my workflow at this company, if I moved companies I'd develop a workflow that works there. The rest of the company has formal notes/documentation in a bajillion sharepoint documents that make things impossible to find, so I prefer my system.
There is usually a "business district" in those 3-20k-resident towns, usually a couple of blocks with shops on either side or an intersection with strip malls and shops, but one or two blocks out, it's all flat and squat architecture. In some places like Alaska you do occasionally get a few apts buildings, I guess the cold kind of forces that option a bit.

In mid April I will move to a 200sq ft apartment. Very small. I am a bit anxious if my plans work out. Up until now I had about 3.5x that space for me alone. The apartment ist directly at the central station of the city which allows me to get to work super fast and the central station is not too far away from the inner city... walking distance. Let's see how this goes.

No, they are not confusing. Nothing is confusing about copyleft, especially to a lawyer. I mentioned offhand the concept of copyleft to my completely non-technical lawyer mother, who hasn't looked at copyright law since she was at university in the 1970s and she immediately understood the concept. It's a very obvious concept.

They're not liked by companies that want to be able to take everything for themselves and never give back. This article is just typical anti-copyleft FUD.

I agree with title and most of the points. And I definitely don't want platforms to just arbitrarily censor what they believe is "fake news".

But we also can't dismiss the responsibility of the platforms. The sort of systemic change that this piece alludes to needs the companies to be involved. They are a huge part of "the system" — part of the problem.

As the piece itself says: "We need to work together and build coalitions of groups who do not share the same political and social ideals to address the issues that we can all agree are broken." That cannot happen when the incentives and UX promulgated by the platforms are fighting against any sort of social cohesion.

Platform changes are critical to bootstrapping ourselves into a better media ecosystem.

Sorry, I cannot yet give feedback on Construct 3's quality as a game development tool (though it looks promising in that regard) but being a web app, after just a few minutes with it I am faced by too many inconsistencies and annoyances that just. would. not. happen. in a native app.

The reality remains that for now and the foreseeable future: Users do NOT, CAN not, get the best possible experience unless you're willing to write and maintain native apps.

A lot of it seems to exacerbated by limited access to quality public transport. As jobs become more consolidated in city centers, the middle and lower class are more likely to get priced out of living near their work places. High insurance and other private vehicle costs (tickets, maintenance, traffic) make car ownership impossible for mid/lower class citizens.

So you end up with a bunch of people, living in poor housing conditions, with poor access to quality transportation, which means the amount of time they are spending in transit, or the jobs that they can reasonably have access to, is constrained.

America should have spent more time trying to shift demand away from private car ownership and more towards effective public transportation. Doing so would make areas outside of major metropolitan areas available for middle/lower class people and allow smaller/mid sized cities benefit from the tax revenue.
Hey, that's a great page that I never imagined existed. I stand corrected; plenty of Cabinet secretaries were convicted, as well as 8 federal judges in 30 years (and therefore I assume many more in history).

I disagree with the premise. Happiness with a transportation system does not correlate with the absolute speed you can go. Instead, I think it would correlate with "how many interesting/useful places can I reach with x effort". Most of the regions listed with fast transportation have things spread out much more.

If the grocery store is a mile away, and it takes 5 minutes to drive there it is equivalent to being a couple of blocks away and it taking 5 minutes to walk there. (This assumes walking and driving are equally as easy). Or likewise if I had to commute to work every day by car for 1 hour, it doesn't matter how fast the car moves. I lost 1 hour of my time and that hour is traded for transportation happiness.

I would argue that the faster regions have things spread out so far that it doesn't make up for the faster travel. I lived in both the Southern U.S. and now in San Francisco and I easily see this as being true. Travel by car in the south is MUCH faster than in SF, but it doesn't make up for way things are spread out.
We need one soon though. The housing market is a massive bubble that needs deflating.
> Election was lost to a TV personality even though mass media was supposed to prevent it.

This is not something I can follow. Trump got the most screen time of any candidate, Clinton included (Sanders got the least of the top 4).

If the media was supposed to "stop" Trump, why did they pen so much ink and cut to Trump's random assertions in the middle of major policy positions of his adversaries.

Based purely on a "google fight" comparison of screentime, it was clear who the media wanted to win, and who would win.
My first thought when reading the headline. It's not "illegal texting". It's the crimes they do via texting (or via any other communication medium) that are illegal.

Also, I thought the government already didn't care about any of the bankers' crimes, because it never seems to prosecute them. If there are banking crimes committed out there, I'm sure the NSA (and now 16 other agencies [1]) are aware of them, even going back several years. They just choose not to prosecute them.

I'm not going to argue that there aren't bad teachers or there aren't a LOT of bad teachers. But IMHO a lot of what I have seen at my company is the following:

If a kid brings home a bad report card - Parents often blame the teacher. Obviously, their kid is great, the only reason they are struggling is because of negligent or poor instruction.

If a kid brings home a behavior citation (i.e. teacher/administration called home and said their kid was poorly behaved) - Parents may or may not recognize themselves as a contributor to that poor behavior.

But for the teacher, it doesn't really matter. If there is one poorly behaved kid in the class, it's going to make it harder for that teacher to instruct every single kid.

It often seems that the problem isn't a glut of "bad teachers", it's that the structures placed around the teachers all too often seem to be set up for them to fail. It's no surprise then that 40%-50% of teachers quit the profession entirely within five years http://www.edweek.org/ew/articles/2012/05/16/kappan_ingersol...

> not as much immigration as the US or West Europe.

I'm pretty sure Australia has a higher immigration rate than the U.S (a quick google supports this) and our net immigration rate is papering over some of the structural issues in our economy in turn helping us avoid a recession.
Australia has massive immigration -

in 2012, Australia had one of the highest net immigration rates, more than twice that of the US.

Of course you're right that the accepted measures of inflation would have already considered and addressed the issue. And I would guess that fundamentals like food and land/housing have indeed gotten more expensive.

I'm a little intrigued though: shouldn't technological progress and "accelerating returns" have made things cheaper? I do see for land, that location is a monopoly ("they aren't making any more" - at least, in that spot, in that community, with that access). I wonder how much similar market effects have "artificially" kept other prices high? An oligopoly or silent collusion/combination between sellers (e.g. as happened for flat TVs).

Also, I wonder if a different lifestyle is possible, leaning more heavily on those aspects that have gotten cheaper (one e.g. living remotely and working remotely or independently).

Anyway, I'm glad you agreed with my other points, I'm assuming.

Bullshit propaganda. They are not interested at all I solving these problems. To them, "market based solutions" means doing nothing and let the market do its thing.

If they were serious, they'd be in favor of cap and trade for carbon emissions, like they were for sulfur in the 1990s.

Trump brought ratings, and Clinton thought she had a lock so she denied interviews and press time. It's as simple as that in this case. Cable outlets clearly wanted Clinton to win, it's just that once they figured out Trump had a shot, Clinton was on a death slope from her own sloppy campaigning. The last 4-5 months of the campaign (once Trump as the nominee) was spent attacking Trump relentlessly in media outlets. The press, imo wanted Trump as the GOP nominee because they thought Clinton would destroy him and thought he would implode the GOP. The last part is still playing out, but their blindness to seeing Clinton's scandals the way middle America did allowed other outlets to step into the fold to cover them. Since the media attempted to ignore many of her faults early on, when they suddenly had a shot to jump on board they were mocked.
Not surprising, given that our economy is effectively backed by China. Of course, that means the probability of us getting out of coal is not very high in the short-term (mining is still a huge employer here, and we export >50% of our coal to East Asia).
I think false conclusions are the problem.

For example: "Trump approved an oil pipe.". This is no fake news.
But the conclusion most outlets made was: "See, Trump is working with the Russians because it's Russian steel.".
And even one part of the conclusion is true: it is partly Russian steel.
But the steel was already bought years ago.

So my questions is: how could Google and Facebook do reliable fact checking on this? So yes, maybe they can't make fake news disapear.

This is going to get complicated, and probably nasty. The interests of Uber and Levandowski no longer align. That's not unusual, although it usually comes up more in criminal cases.

Amusingly, Google's employment contract, which specifies binding arbitration for employee-employer disputes, may have backfired on Google. Google did take Levandowski to arbitration. But Google can't bind Uber via their employee arbitration contract. So now Google is suing Uber, and Uber and Levandowski are arguing that Google can't sue because it insisted on arbitration in the employment contract.

Read the very next sentence to see how the word "innocent" is used in context. If it's not clear that I'm talking about criminal charges from that post or from the fact that we're discussing the fifth amendment (which can only be invoked if the testimony can lead to criminal liability for the person testifying) or from the fact that he is not a defendant in the current case, I hope it's clear now.

Lewandowski won't be financially ruined if Uber loses this civil case, and he won't even be very financially inconvenienced. On the other hand, there is huge potential downside if he gets charged personally with a crime.
