And if you try to relax the notability criteria for biographies of living people, you run squarely into another problem: those articles are inherently sensitive. If you don't require that facts be tracable to reliable sources, libel and self-promotion start to leak in very quickly.

The first thing Trump was supposed to do was introduce an Amendment for term limits (Washington Post). Cruz proposed one that would limit Senators to 2 terms and Representatives to 3 terms.

This seems like an idea almost everyone would support and would do so much to move politics forward.

Well why doesn't the US government just decide to tax its citizens the same as nearly every other country in the world? You're saying that the solution to a bad system is to move, rather than just making the system less terrible.

I view your question as "do you agree that since you can't cure cancer, you shouldn't take painkillers or symptom treatments." No, I don't agree. It's just that instead of casting it as the state of being that you are powerless, it is instead that you should fight back.

Rolling your own makes sense only to a point; anything much more operationally complex than "an rsyslog collector" rapidly crosses the boundary of "I don't care what the hardware costs me, it's dwarfed by the costs of engineering time / loss of focus."

Unless logging is the core of what your company does, I'd suggest not reinventing this particular wheel; those stories never end well.
I want a hotel with 100/100+ symmetric high-quality Internet, and ideally, set up with a desk, good chair, large monitor on the desk, and keyboard/mouse.

24h checkin, and ideally essentially automated checkin -- if I'm a frequent guest, I should be able to have a key sent to my phone (or have an NFC token I carry added to the door's ACL) for the duration of my stay, ideally without dealing with humans. SPG usually takes me about 2 minutes to check in within the US, or 3-5 internationally; I'd like that to be 0.

I'd like convenient-to-transport, including both transit and parking, and carts/flat floors/etc. so I can move stuff in/out of my room easily.

Some specific amenities would be really nice -- a standard coffee machine (I'd prefer nespresso, but really anything), fridge, microwave, etc. I'd also love it if all outlets are wonpro universal sockets, and if the layout of sockets in the room is standardized (at the very least, always one or two on each side of the bed, and 2-4 at a desk).

What I'd love, but which many people may hate, is an absurd level of standardization of the room itself -- the same mattress, layout, furnishings, etc. available at every property, and actual floorplans shown so I'm booking a specific room and not run of house.

(I'd be fine with this just being a subset, like the club floor, of a legacy hotel. Or, it handled as a standalone new build, conversion of legacy hotel, subset of a floor ("Towers" or club floor concept), or potentially, a decentralized hotel with a bunch of apartments in an area, centrally managed and serviced.
From a purely technical perspective, WordPress is so meh. But from a business and "time to market" perspective, it is not a bad choice. You can quickly put up a landing page, career page etc on a decent VPS and get going. WordPress also will give you tons of SEO and content marketing options out of the box.

One example. ConvertKit is killing it these days, right ? See their marketing website. It is WordPress.

This is increasingly being done with congestion charges and time-dependent road or bridge tolls, but it still remains difficult, from a practical perspective, to maintain a continuous auction of road capacity.

Notably, wireless deployments differ from road use in that using a wireless spectrum assignment requires significant deployment time and capital investment, meaning when a frequency range is assigned it's reasonable to expect and allow a single entity to control that range for an extended period. With roads, on the other hand, a single use can be as short as a few minutes, meaning a similar auction would need to re-occur hundreds or thousands of times a day.

Further, if wireless spectrum ranges are not pre-assigned, it becomes quite difficult for multiple entities trying to use the same range to coordinate to avoid interference that would render the range useless to both. Roads, on the other hand, can be reasonably shared by multiple users without any coordination ahead of time.

Because of these practical difficulties, and the lack of an inherent need for usage assignments, most roads are not tolled or auctioned, and the result is heavy congestion in highly-sought-after routes at peak times.
Another commenter mentioned that the Democrats are effectively the metropolitan party (and the "Clinton Archipelago" map [0] from this NYTimes article "Two Americas of 2016" [1] shows it fairly well).

But, I think the article misses an even more important factor.

what problems the government fixes is less divisive than how those problems are fixed. This how question is much more important in preventing Republicans and Democrats from working together.

Both parties want to solve most of the problems that plague cities: housing, transportation, poverty, education, etc [2]. What differs is how they intend to solve those issues.

The ideological underpinning of the right is to solve problems by reducing government involvement and/or increasing people's ability to be responsible for their own lives (and possibly suffer bad outcomes, deserved or not): deregulation of business, lowering taxes on high-end professionals and rich people, school choice, public-private partnership in infrastructure.

Meanwhile, the left generally tries to increase outcomes universally, even for people who have made bad choices: increasing services used by the poor, focusing on public education that is accessible to everyone, investing in public transportation provided by the government (and with subsidies so that the poor can afford to use it).

The difference is that the right doesn't address issues directly. I think this is because they don't think it's the government's problem in the first place. Rather, they try to fix the broader environment instead. Free from this ideological aversion to government, Democrats advocate for directly investing in the issue.

IME, the popular-remote-service-is-down panics mostly seem to apply in web development world, where apparently any cool project must have an insane number of dependencies, no local failover or caching, and production build/test/deployment processes that are intimately connected to those dependencies that have no local equivalents. GitHub goes down, their entire CI and deployment system falls apart, and no-one has any idea what any of their fancy cloud-hosted doodads was actually doing at the underlying level of the Git repos or which files need to go where on the servers, so they don't know where to start with recovery...

plus:

alias g='/usr/local/bin/git log --graph --oneline --decorate
alias v='/usr/local/bin/git branch -avv'--all'
alias h='/usr/local/bin/git log -p'

can be useful.

This is a really encouraging trend. For all the things I love about iOS (not to mention all the years supporting myself on iOS dev work), I love the fact that on desktop platforms, developers can just write a program, throw it up on the Internet, and have people use it or even pay for it without any middleman.

I don't have some deep moral objection to software walled gardens (if that fits your use requirements, more power to you!), but if that model ever wins out, it will be a sad day for innovation. Software's one of the most powerful tools in recent history for disruption, and having a centralized entity wield control over that creates a dangerous bottleneck for this relatively new, extremely powerful medium for human expression. Good to see that, on at least some level, the market agrees with me.

Happy to elaborate if you have questions andrew@canny.io
America was established as a federalist collection of states so that opinion and geography were intentionally tightly coupled.

If you didn't like the prevailing opinion in your state, you moved to somewhere where your opinion was the majority.

The federal government was not meant to have a significant impact in your day-to-day life. Your city and state governments were supposed to have the most impactful policies, which were supposed to be tailored specifically to the needs of your geographic locale.

Somewhere over the past 100 years, states' powers have been eroded and we're left with a one-size-fits-all federal government which is failing to keep everyone happy.

Git repos can have an "update hook" that is executed during a push, after the new commits have been uploaded, but before the branch is updated to include the new commits. The hook can inspect the new commits, compare them to the old ones, and decide to reject the update. (It's a shell script, so every imaginable condition is possible.)
> Whose only competitor is ARM, which is little better in terms of decoding complexity.

T32 indeed has this problem, but not A32. With ARMv8 ARM released the A64 instruction set, which is designed new from ground up and is to my knowledge also not hard to decode. Nevertheless decoding complexity is not that relevant anymore. What is much harder and involves more die area is (super-)pipelining the execution, out-of-order execution etc. But even all this together: What consumes most die area are typically the caches.

But it needs to be passed by the current people there

All 27 Amendments have been ratified after two-thirds
of the House and Senate approve of the proposal and
send it to the states for a vote. Then, three-fourths
of the states must affirm the proposed Amendment.

First step is to get Congress on board, and telling them to vote themselves out is unlikely.
To counter some of the points here, this is certainly possible with a limited approval-based voting scheme with multiple openings per position.

For example, senators are elected in groups of three, and each person has two votes (max of one per person). This dilutes the voting power of the majority candidates if they try to run more than two people, and allows for a minority-view to have some representation.
The numbers in the headline measures the # of H-1B petitions that were received before the USCIS decided to stop accepting more because they can meet the "mandated 65,000 visa H-1B cap" and "the 20,000 visa U.S. advanced degree exemption, also known as the master’s cap"[1]

Given that the agency "will reject and return filing fees for all unselected cap-subject petitions that are not duplicate filings", it would be desirable to limit the number of excess applications.

I am not sure that the data points in the article extrapolate to "A lot of people are looking at America, and (wondering) if it is still a place to make business."

No it is not. You're assuming that a majority of country should cede their right to having a say for the president, because acreage.

And even if it was true, who cares? The central thesis of the 18th century was that people would have more allegiance to their states rather than the national government, and that hasn't been true for over a hundred years.
Those maps aren't nearly nuanced enough. There are a lot of blue voters in red areas and red voters in blue areas, both go unrepresented.

What if the recipient receives the physical support that host the original copy , say a usb thumbdrive or a hard drive and the original customer keeps the copy ?

Then what if the customer gives a copy then delete the original but the OS being windows on the FAT entry is deleted and the data still lives on the drive ?

How would one distinguish between original copy and subsequent copy when they're all identical ?

Last but not least, if you read the fine print when you buy an audio cd, you don't buy the music but a piece of plastic and a license to listen to music the piece of plastic hold. This license forbids you from allowing other people from listening, so if you play the CD on speaker with you window open and someone happens to be walking in the street you are now guilty of an illegal communication to the public of copyrighted content.

In both cases, b * (a // b) + a % b = a, which is often a behavior that you want.

In some other languages, the % operator (IMO wrongly) takes the sign of a, making it more like a “remainder” operator than a “modulo” operator, whereas in Python % (IMO correctly) takes the sign of b.

I also agree that this should be thought of as “floor division” rather than “integer division” though.

Completely false premise. They're not "knowingly" helping the child labor scene - they're just picking the cheap shirt. Walmart doesn't put up a sign "this stuff made with child slave labor!" - they might not even know themselves.

> Since more than half the global routing table consists of /24 announcements, those are the first candidates for being filtered. More aggressive filters may even filter out everything smaller than the smallest assigned PA blocks, possibly with some exceptions for “the swamp,” the part of the Class C space assigned in pre-CIDR days(192.x.x.x and part of 193.x.x.x). The currently allocated smallest PA blocks are /20, but much of the Class C space is allocated to ISPs in /19 and larger blocks.

The first company I worked for didn't have that. It was certainly 'diverse' in some sense, but it ended up with different factions that never spoke to each other or worked together. Despite doing the same work on the same projects.

>You must not travel alot, or at least not in the US."

I spend a little over half a year on the road. I've recently been charged for internet at an Omni, a Wyndham, and a Westin hotel in the U.S.

>"All the major brands have check-in / check-out flexibility. I've never been denied late check-out requests, especially with advance notice. Most hotels will allow early check-ins no problem and most chains allow you to request this via the web / app."

I am referring to being able to specify my checkin and checkout time when I book. All of the online reservations systems I have used still mandate 3:00PM check in. I am not talking about picking up the phone and calling the front desk after I am already in the room.

>"It's worth remembering that those taxes go towards meeting various regulatory requirements, like ensuring safety standards, etc.... things it's important to remember that AirBnB lacks."

Really 15% of a $300 dollar a night hotel for 3 days(roughly $135) goes to meeting safety inspections? None of the $300 a night goes towards meeting that?

I'm sorry but I don't think that a hotel having an app for your smartphone is some great innovation in the industry.

You might like The Just City, by Jo Walton. I was kind of ambivalent about it, but it was a reasonably fun speculative fiction about Athena gathering people from throughout time to recreate the city that Plato laid out in Republic.

To make that possible, she provides robots which can understand basic instructions and act semi-autonomously to build things, farm, etc, but fall well short of actual sapience. And after awhile, she introduces a gadfly named Socrates into the fledgling city.
