Agree that it was a ridiculous request by the lawyers, ... surely they've heard of the Streisand effect.

But I think GP wanted to say that even if we agree with what the judge said, it might benefit the defendant on the appeal if they can show this judge was not impartial in some way.

Wonder if this is ever used as a technique - if judges are not impartial, then bait them into showing it on the record so to speak.

Noam Chomsky Claims Trump May Stage Terrorist Attacks to Shore Up Support
"Threatened US default over debt ceiling" as I recall both parties play chicken with the economy to get their stuff passed, but the Democrats have the media to get people (perhaps like yourself) to buy that it's only Republicans who can take a hard line stance.

I'm mostly responding to your "Why does diversity initiatives never seem to care about diversity of political opinions?" question.

I'm saying that it's legitimate for diversity initives to not support all political positions in the name of diversity. Yes, it's a paradox, but it's not something that hasn't been addressed.

And, yes, the Trump ticket was intolerant. You can make the argument solely on the grounds of the anti-muslim rhetoric, not to mention his running mate's public views on gay rights.
Yes, I think the appropriation was astoundingly effective. A few days ago I heard someone refer to actual fake news as fake news and I suddenly remembered CNN talking about fake news right after the election before Trump started slinging it around. I had completely forgotten.

I don't know what system you're defending, but capitalism has nothing to do with getting wealth proportional to your individual hard work. There are plenty of Kid Bs who have much more money and income than Kid As because of they have more leverage in the free market (funds, education, even luck). I know a bunch of them...

In Capitalism, you profit from owning the means of production, not from working hard. Obviously, it can help, but not necessarily. There are plenty of start-up CEOs who worked just as hard as Jeff Bezos their entire lives, but aren't multi-billionaires, or even millionaires.

Not GP, but I've been using it for the last several months and overall its been incredibly pleasant to work with. Bruce Williams and Ben Wilson have done a fantastic job with the API, and they are incredibly helpful on the slack channel. Its basically replaced Phoenix for most of my needs, which isn't a design goal of theirs—it just works out that way.

There's a few areas the guides are a little sparse, but the API docs are pretty solid. That will improve over a little more time. There are some areas like returning errors to the client that are sort of roll-your-own in the graphql community at large, but those kinds of things for me have come down to just finding a practice that works for me and going with it. I haven't had a chance yet to upgrade to the latest version, which supports middleware and subscriptions, along with stuff I _think_ was already supported like transport-level batching.

My advice if you're thinking about using it is to build out a basic set of features with it and expand your usage—you'll find out pretty quick if you like that modality, and apollo makes a great combo with it if you do.

You're not wrong at all. If you had an OpenVPN server running up in Canada that you set up yourself - you still have to worry about the connection that the VPN in Canada is making to the internet. _It_ connects to the internet through an ISP, too.

One point of popular VPNs and overlay networks like Tor is that so many people do so many different things on the same IP that it becomes impossible to tell who's who from the thousands of people making outgoing connections from the same address, and the overlapping traffic is anonymizing in of itself. But yes no guarantee of privacy.

Take into account that its better to have some security than no security at all.

The distinction between "know how" (aka procedural knowledge) and "know that" (declarative knowledge) is a favourite in cognitive science, but I think it is a bit shallow. I guess the point I'm making here is that "knowing how" is a major part of knowing "what it is like" to be something.

For example, I know how to ride a bike, and that gives me some idea of _what it is like_ to be someone who knows how to ride a bike — an insight I certainly wouldn't have if I only understood the mechanics of bike riding in declarative terms. The fact that I will probably never know what it is like to be a bat has a lot to do with my inability to have the know-how that a bat has (it's very hard to know how to fly and echolocate when you don't have wings nor the appropriate sensory organs). However, I'd argue that an active, deep VR simulation of bat flight might bring you just a little bit closer to having that embodied, subjective knowledge, in a way that studying bat behaviour or anatomy from a purely objective perspective never would.

Sure, but the benefits fall largely upon the lower classes.
Wealthier individuals don't need so much help from the state, yet they're the ones contributing the most.

By no means I aim to defend everything that goes on in the US - e.g. the healthcare situation is abysmal.
But ultimately, there are pros and cons of both approaches to policy.
Anything can dispatch a hard coded action though. By that logic if I elect not to use the common action creator pattern (without thunk, i.e just standard action creators that return an action), does that make my React components action creators?

What if I put a 'createFoo' function in my component that creates a foo action, and call dispatch(this.createFoo()) from elsewhere in the component? Now what is the action creator? Is it the function, or is it the component? Because going by the terminology in the redux docs it'd be the function, and going by the terminology in the redux-thunk docs, it'd be the component.

That's the ambiguity I'm talking about. I'm sure Dan Abramov has a consistent logical model in his head for reasoning about this, but it hasn't been properly divulged to the community. I could find you at least 5 devs I've met IRL that think it's the function, 5 that think it's the component, and 5 that think it's both.

> So the benefit of using middleware like Redux Thunk or Redux Promise is that components aren’t aware of how action creators are implemented, and whether they care about Redux state, whether they are synchronous or asynchronous, and whether or not they call other action creators.

No, the mapDispatchToProps pattern is what provides this layer of abstraction. If a component calls 'this.props.doFoo', why does it care whether doFoo starts an asynchronous process by calling an overloaded 'dispatch' function that could mean one of two completely different things, or using the same thunk pattern with a less confusing name?

I'm not disagreeing with anything you're saying in this post. What I'm saying is that the choice of API for redux-thunk is ambiguous and confusing, not that the pattern itself is bad (in-fact I think it's very good).

> There's also precedent for overloading `dispatch` and "teaching" it to understand parameters other than plain action objects, such as promises.

There's precedent for murdering people too, it happens a hundred times a day across the country. Doesn't make it a good idea.

Also, redefining "nature" to include non-physical things does not get you around the problem. We run into a language limitation, when you attempt to define away this fundamentally impossible premise. That is what I mean when I say "what is supernatural in a reality where you're already permitting things that do not have a material basis".

What exactly is the distinction you're trying to make between "non-physical" and "supernatural"?

What basis is left to make that distinction on, once you've abandoned the material realm?

What distinguishes your "plane of consciousness" from "heaven" or "the astral projection spirit crystal healing field" or "the power of positive feelings"?

Source document is an FCC filing of Google's from October, 2016. Full title: "Protecting the Privacy of Customers of Broadband and Other Telecommunications Services, WC Docket No. 16-106"

Material:

[O]pt-in consent is appropriate for the sharing of sensitive data (health, financial, and children’s information, social security numbers, precise geolocation data, and content of consumer communications) with third parties, whereas opt-out or implied consent is appropriate for other uses of customer data. This model is familiar to consumers, has worked well for them for many years, and contributed to today’s thriving, innovative, and free Internet.

Which is to say, other than the excepted content, Google aver that all other forms of subscriber information are fair game for disclosure to third paries on an "implied consent" basis.

At IBM I got "called on the carpet" to the Director's office because I was seen in the hallway without my jacket. (1978)

Back in the past I worked at Franklin Lakes, the IBM Office Products Division headquarters. I was a VM/360 Systems Programmer. I printed out a "core dump" of memory and since the printer was just down the hall I walked out of my office, picked it up, and returned. Someone saw me, called my manager, who passed it up the hierarchy as an "infraction"... and I ended up getting chewed out by the Director (3 levels up the management chain).

Office Products sold typewriters, paper, and punched cards. Our typewriter repair persons (all male) wore suits and wing-tip shoes to service your typewriter.

Exactly. The solution facebook should be applying to fake news is to just block all content that disagrees with the viewpoint of the individual reader.
