>shipping them guns

This is occasionally obfuscated, but it is utterly true. There are basically two kinds of guns (of the kind you can use to enforce this "war") in the world stage: AK-like (Russian, eastern European, and Chinese included) and AR-like (MXX(X) and modified civilian, from dealers and left over from military/agency operations). The AR-like guns are extremely common in Mexico, and they obviously are all American made. There are also a lot of AK-like weapons, which are... also all American. Bare minimum, they are legally bought in the US and smuggled into Mexico.

These facts are often overlooked by claims that you can't be sure where the guns come from- 87% of the 4000 guns we can track come from the US, but that only represents 12% of the 30,000 guns seized. The real fact is the Mexican military has seized over 300,000 guns[1], and very few of those AK-like guns come from Russia or China. The overwhelming majority of those weapons had to have been built or sold in America.

In the US there's a huge amount of disbelief that we can actually be the source of these guns. I honestly think that comes from a mistaken belief that guns actually exist everywhere... America is a giant gun store, the biggest on the block, saying they need to keep selling guns because of all these guns everybody keeps buying.

A 70 year old person (read: a person who had 70 years to save for their retirement) depends on a government program that pays them a minimum wage while pretending to do part-time work?

This sounds like an incredible waste of government resources... Glad to hear that programs like this are being cut. If you can't save for your own retirement, then you have no right to leave the workforce or lean on government programs.

> he found himself in the National Socialist party for nearly no other reason than they welcomed him for his charisma and he saw a weak leadership he could exploit.

It's incredible with what precision some of these sentences can be transplanted nearly a hundred years and be just as applicable. You wouldn't know if this was about the past or the present when taking that sentence out of context.
> So, pardon in advance for the vulgar language, but why the fuck is this OK? From any company?

I dunno, why wouldn't it be okay? I interact with a lot of companies on a day-to-day basis; big ones (Facebook, Google), small ones (the corner shop I bought an energy drink at on my way to work), and everything in between.

Offhand I'd say that none of them have a legal expectation to work in my best interest, nor would I have expected any of them to, nor do I believe a law requiring them to would be workable.

My interest in buying an energy drink is to get the brand I wanted at the lowest possible price; the store's interest is in selling it to me at the highest possible price. If they had to work in my best interests would they be required to sell it to me at cost? Maybe I drink too many energy drinks, would they be required on pain of criminal sanctions to try and talk me into buying some fruit juice instead? The mind boggles. :)

Or do you think there's something special about this particular product that makes it different than every other good or service in the economy? Or that their very vague ads somehow set up a special relationship that's more akin to a doctor/patient relationship than the borrower/lender relationship one would expect from, you know, a loan company?
Median salary may go down for senior engineers, that's okay with me if more will have permanent jobs.

It's not fair to software engineers at the tail ends of their careers that they are so often relegated to contract positions. Many of them very competent (even if slightly dated in current practices).
Well first of all, you are right - the 'final solution' was one of many solutions for the 'Judenfrage' and it wasn't like the NSDAP put the most extreme solution on the ballot box.

Secondly, the 'twisted advisors' shouldn't be seen as a few extremists, but rather the then-current alumni of a school-of-thought that was in the making for at least hundred years before WW2: Reactionary nationalism driven anti-semitism (as opposed to the anti-semitism that roamed europe before the 18th century).

Within these 100 years multiple people discussed 'solutions' and often the legitimate ultima-ratio seemed to be capital punishment, if the Jews weren't leaving by other means (As today some politicians would legitimize shooting illegal aliens at border-crossings).

All the anti-semites need to do to gain influence was to add fuel to the flames of the 'treason'-narrative.
If that works for you and your designs, then great! But there are a lot of places where display:table falls apart, especially with responsive designs. Flexbox and Grid also bring a new level of ability to separate source order from display order, which isn't possible using display:table.
> This is the biggest mistaken belief of the programming industry.

Actually I think what you're saying is the biggest mistaken belief in the programming industry. The industry has been chasing the dream of making programming accessible for everyone for as long as computers have existed. This was the reasoning behind COBOL, BASIC, and Scratch.

> You can't import random libraries, and you can't write spaghetti code, because you are writing in a highly constrained DSL. It's still real code. It's still a Turing machine.

If it's Turing complete then someone can and certain would write spaghetti code. Every constrained environment that ever existed for lay people to use ends up in the hands of frustrated programmers.

> There's no reason the marketing team can't write this file.

There's no reason why they couldn't just drag and drop such logic and prefer to do it as well. Most people have trouble understanding how to work with Turing complete languages to accomplish advanced tasks. Programmers aren't purposely trying to make their environments difficult -- in fact making everything as easy as possible has been the goal since the beginning.

> You could do the "hours of thinking and planning" so that your colleagues could write the high level business code.

Honestly that High level business code that you sort of dismiss is the hard part. Knowing to gather requirements and codify them is the job a programmer. It's a job in itself different from other jobs. It will never be a job for non-programmers and maybe not even junior programmers.
A hammer is a tool of fascist regimes as well. Doesn't mean you become a fascist by using a hammer. (For what its's worth, I support free speech as well. I just don't support poor arguments.)
While I completely agree that the constitution has been trampled on for a long time, I think there's still an important difference between those who pay lip service and those who brazenly defy it. Past administrations have at least felt the need to justify themselves, even if their justifications stretch logic to the point of absurdity. When the argument is instead "we don't need to justify our actions" I think that represents a stark and dangerous shift away from the rule of law.

You can still use tables and CSS display:table (you should use the latter if the content is not actually tabular data so as not to make life annoying for people using screen readers).

But for those of us building sites with complex layouts (and situations where we can't be entirely sure of the contents, e.g. using a CMS or static site generator), it's really amazing to finally have tools in CSS to actually do page layout.
A completely delusional comment, devoid of any roots in reality whatsoever, and an insult to the decency and dignity of software engineering, as well as an invitation to strip software engineering of the respect and compensation it deserves.

A 13 year old making a website for his dog in PHP can fit your definition of full stack web engineer.

The underlying parts of this "full" stack require significant domain knowledge around algorithms, data structures, computer architectures, operating systems, distributed systems, networking and communications, programming languages, etc... and most importantly, critical thinking and engineering rigor beyond trial and error and cargo cult copy-pasting from stackoverflow into your "get-things-done" duct-taped spaghetti code base.

Those underlying parts created by the people that you now call "incompetent" are required to design, implement and maintain the "kick-ass" babyproofed playground you live in and that allows you to put food on your table. Have some respect.

If you are so kick-ass and get-things-done, checkout the source code for Linux, Chromium, v8, node or libuv, Python, Ruby or whatever technology you use and try to get something done there to a level of quality in which it gets accepted and see what happens. You and your kick-ass denomination will be stomped over and brought back to reality.

If the party that sent you the coins controls (directly or indirectly) >50% of the hash rate, they can reclaim the coins they sent you by omitting the transaction in a fork.

No amount of hash rate lets you send coins to arbitrary places - you need the sender's key to sign a transaction.

OP's links referred to multiple instances of threats of rape/violence.

Sorry, NASCAR is not racing, it's driving left on an oval "freeway" on cars with horrible real driving performance because, among other things, they can't turn right to save their lives.

The purpose of the report is not say what the update situation is across Android devices, Google has a monthly dashboard for that: https://developer.android.com/about/dashboards/index.html

If you're interested in the Android update situation, Adrian Ludwig just gave a talk at Next, the Google cloud conference about it (he even references the Wikileaks CIA breach): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zm6ziX5pqt8

He talks about the task starting with only 5 OEMs to keep their flagships updated. And you start to see the insane complexity of running the update train: this meant 29 devices. Multiply by the 351 carrier partners, which goes to 5000+ builds and variants. That all need to be tested by all the parties. =/

Makes sense.

It's also become a problem going the other way. Iron Fist got loads of lousy reviews and a decent number start with complaining about how they should have made the main character an Asian man. I get that comics have some aspects that are less PC in a modern context, but that's what happens when you have decades of history.

> Miles Morales, a biracial Spider-Man

I don't know the sales numbers or anything, but the general perception I've gotten from comic book fans is that Miles Morales is very well liked. I really liked that run of Ultimate Spider-Man. Thinking about it, he must have been doing well enough sales wise because they actually brought him over from the ultimate universe.

Are people tired of diversity or do they just not like the moves Marvel is making? If I'm a long-time fan of Thor, and then they say "oh he's got no powers and now a woman is Thor" why wouldn't I say "that's dumb. no thank you"?

I also agree strongly with the point about Marvel being too event heavy.

I don't recall mentioning that it hadn't worked, precisely because the rent-seeking, market failure, zoning density restrictions are in place.

We need to remove them, at the federal level as Japan has done, if necessary.

It may be that the money of wealthy landowners is just too much to fix the problem at the local level and that federal action as in Japan may be necessary.

Well I'm guilty of that same conception too. Why are the two at odds? Google wants to own the best platform for users out there. Engineers want to work on the best, app developers want to work on the best, and users want to use the best they can afford.
You're not really in any position to say whether or not lives are at risk, unless you have specific knowledge of the people making the threats. Most online death threats are empty, of course, but that's a relatively small consolation if you actually receive one.
This is also particularly weird since mainland Norwegians do eat a lot of fish.

Jared Diamond's Collapse goes into more detail about the Norse social hierarchy: apparently the upper classes ate a lot of beef, and seal etc was for the common man.

Incidentally, similar themes repeat elsewhere: the First Fleet that founded Sydney had no fishermen at all on board, and for a long time respectable people aspired to eat beef imported from England while lobster and other seafood was only for convicts.
Most Android issues arise due to either vendors which don't update the devices, or malicious vendors that actually pre-install malware (beware of phones ordered from aliexpress etc ...).

Since the same pair is used for transmission and reception at the same time, the echo is just removing what you are sending right now from what you are receiving. Similar to how you can hear / listen to someone while talking at the same time (air = ethernet pair).

> how do you avoid generating microwaves if you're sending a GHz signal down a wire?

The main spectral energy of GbE is around 125 MHz & it's harmonics (250 MHz, ...), since that's the symbol rate on the wire, but a cable is still an excellent antenna at these frequencies.

Emission is mainly avoided by using differential transmission over a twisted pair; the small loop area between the conductors minimizes emissions, and also improves rejection of outside electromagnetic noise (EMI) — an antenna always works both ways; a well-shielded mechanism will emit less and will also be less susceptible. Cables are supposed to have an outer shield (for Gigabit anyway), though it works without.

Meanwhile Ethernet avoids creating ground loops by isolating the cable on both ends with small pulse transformers (=high pass filter for the signal). The shields of the cables are also only grounded through small capacitors (=high pass filter for shield currents).

> (Or, perhaps you don't avoid it and that's the nature of the cross-talk?)

Almost! Crosstalk is mainly generate by more "intimate" coupling. Emissions means electromagnetic waves (=long range), while crosstalk in cabling and connectors comes from inductive (magnetic) and capacitive (electric field) coupling. This happens because the conductors and contacts are all very close to each other.
