Some time ago Wikipedia has been banned in Turkey because the government didn't like a couple of pages about its involvement in the Syria civil war. (I don't have references handy but you can find easily with Google)

In the past couple of weeks I noticed the a number of ISPs (for sure Turkcell for mobile and Türk Telekom for land lines) started injecting a wrong certificate, I guess to MITM the communication.

The certificate is of course wrong (it is both untrusted and the domain name is wrong) so the browser will notice this and block the access, but I'm surprised that I haven't seen any discussion about this online

The Guardian is a (social) liberal newspaper, not a socialist one. I've never seen them argue for central planning in an editorial, and I've been reading them on and off for nearly 30 years. Not is it particularly fond of economists.

They do generally object to laissez-faire capitalism. But frankly, a dislike of Uber is nothing at all to do with a penchant for 5-year plans.
This sentence makes me realize I have no idea what the terms "couple", "going out" and "dating" (and even "boyfriend") mean, whatsoever.

Resources are finite.

For a less dire example, when people stop making progress in physical therapy, insurance stops paying for it. Not because there is no chance they will benefit from further therapy, but to control costs.

My horse in the race did not win. It wasn't HRC. However the feeling I get is a lot of her voters are in disbelief she lost and can't understand the opponent having won. It feels as if they felt entitled to a result that didn't pan out. If HRC had won, we would not be seeing these calls for reform gain attention.

That said, gerrymandering has two effects, one negative, one positive. On the negative side, there is little competition, on the positive side, the vast majority are happy with the result. Moreso than that of a 51:49 split.

If you ask me competition is healthy, if I look at the previous election, people don't like close elections.

Naloxone is already generic and basically free, government officials just like buying the branded version so they can get kickbacks while complaining about the cost.
The electoral college also should be replaced with popular vote.
By that line of reasoning, this proposal is great because not only the first but also the second and third candidate are elected, making an even later portion of the voters happy
Fire is necessary for healthy forests. And although I am excited about the emerging prospects of genetic alteration I'm pretty sure it's not going to get as far as making carbon based lifeforms fireproof.
I guess every language needs an Emacs port to grow up.

None of those ports ever see even the tiniest beginning of something actually usable (heck, even Climacs faltered), but I'm still all for it!
I'm guessing a lot of other languages could benefit from this. So what I'd like to see is a runtime environment and garbage collector decoupled from the actual language. Something like the LLVM project, except focused on the runtime system (and different variants) rather than code generation.
And, in fact, there are tons of "mountain towns" where real estate is cheap. They just aren't chi-chi mountain towns with cute coffee shops and gourmet restaurants often associated with world class ski areas.
Commercial private medicine and commercial private medical insurance are legal in the UK and do exist although the markets are fairly small. If anything private medicine is less regulated in the UK than it is in the US (for example it's easier to call a doctor and get a price list, on enroll at any time in a plan). The legal basis of not allowing Charlie Gard's parents to take him to the US is not related to the existence of nationalized healthcare.
The Charlie case is not comparable - the question discussed by the court is not whether it should pay to keep him alive, but whether it's ethical to, given that he's constantly incurring brain damage and few people in the medical community believe he has any chance of survival at all. The justification used is that of "continued suffering", not cost.
By "organized crime," I assume you mean something other what's traditionally thought of as organized crime, e.g. the Mafia, but I can't tell what.

> I presume she managed to avoid becoming a junky because she has a pretty stable day-to-day life.

While circumstance and upbringing are factors for addition, I think it's accepted that there is also a biological component; your mom may be inherently less prone to becoming addicted to opiates.

There was a serious attempt to push an equivalent of rational choice in political science a while ago. Public choice theory holds that bureaucrats and politicians are rational actors maximising their own power. It's no longer very prominent because it turns out to be a poor fit for actual motivations - which seem to be a complex mix of office politics, power seeking, public service motivation, and following the wishes of their superiors. The model was simply too reductive to be useful.

I'm not an economist, but it would surprise me if a whole society's motivations were not at least as complex as those of a government department.
That's a fair point and it has merit. I however don't think the big two will care for it as it does two things, weakens their positions and two give fringe/radicals on both sides voices, of course regular run of the mill third parties (who would syphon votes from the big two).
It's great to see projects like this as they provide an excellent starting point for neat hardware add-ons, such as long-range radios using unlicensed bands (as in https://wiki.soprani.ca/ThePlan#Long-range_radios for example).

I'm hoping that efforts like https://soprani.ca/ work out - it would be great to not have to use the cellular network for simple communication with people that are only a few kilometres away from you.
Interesting project. No apparent mention of battery life. If funding presents an issue, it could be marketed on darknet markets as a hack-resistant burner phone.
Agreed. Though this looks like it's an STV system more like Australia. Which would be the most logical system for the USA as implementing something like MMP would be a big shift requiring the formalization of the role of parties in government with party lists and a party vote.
This is completely off topic from this thread, but one way to easily cut down on spam (that would break many email senders today) would be to require that a mail server can only send email for a domain you own. Yes, I'm familiar with DKIM and similar tools, but they don't go far enough.
My first response was "technology has changed since then", but then I thought: if I used a Vigenère cipher in the telegram era, whose responsibility was it to make sure the government got a copy of the plaintext? All the modern messaging apps do is make it easier to do the same thing.
A workable solution for kids would really be something. It's much harder to get anything done with bored kids than with a bored adult.

Well, I opened that issue quite some time ago, and opened it in response to a proposal by FB to use RocksDB in Cassandra, so it's a great change but not a single Fay turnaround
> It'd be far more cost-effective to reduce the need for acute care by providing access to addiction treatment before things get to this point. Easier said than done I suppose.

Johann Hari has pointed out that it's very effective to just give heroin addicts pure heroin and a safe place to inject it. Switzerland has 'essentially' [edit] eliminated opiate deaths with this strategy:

[edit: added 'essentially' in response to tptacek's comment below because the swiss probably haven't gotten rid of 100% of their opiate deaths]

Patents are intellectual property rights established by law. Congress passes laws giving the executive branch the right and responsibility to create regulations but much of the content of those regulations are not dictated by law.
Big companies know they have the resources to devote to a code rewrite if it ever came to that. Small- to mid-size companies are the ones that have the greatest exposure.

Also, it's my opinion that the companies like AirBNB who use it are not considering that it will complicate acquisition by another party. They are basically taking themselves out of contention for purchase by a company that is in direct competition with FB. Maybe, evidently, they don't care but I just hope everyone using it is thinking about such things.
>Resources are finite.

But the important point is what exactly is making this drug scarce for local authorities. Opiod addicts are not rapidly consuming all the reserves of the drug on earth; companies have just set high prices and left the people to take the burden.

Accepthing that this resource is scarce for governments means inherently agreeing with the price set by the pharmaceutical company - and I don't think that's what we should do at all.
How much would you personally be willing to pay?
Ugh. That is sickening. Since it seems like you have some expertise in the area, is this antipattern actually codified In regulations, or more of a de-facto/status quo thing?
>Not a planned outcome.

Sure, but the people responsible clearly don't care, as evidenced by the tone of the article.

I think this is a good solution. It is going to take a while for people to accept it though. It's been clear to me that most Americans think our version of democracy is the only possible version of democracy, and that anything else would lead to tyranny. Or that our Constitution is perfect and we're just using it wrong. People hate our government, so it's strange that they love the document that makes it the way it is. I think we should change the Constitution or write a new one, but I know that's hard, so this FRA is probably more practical than my solution.

I hope people will soon recognize that they're not going to get major change in the way government operates just by changing the people who get elected. We need to change HOW people get elected.

The reason I was suspicious is that your post read more like a basket case for dramatization propaganda including "total control of the communications", "wikipedia", "journalists". Between 2005-201x, When Gulenists were embedded in every institution, and our fake "liberals" were cheering - people used to be afraid to make phone calls as they were recording and posting mobile conversations by everyone on their "liberal" media. Many businessmen used to apply to them, for tweaking the judicial system.

But I guess, the BTK guy, went too far to put the 10sec celebration message of the president to celebrate the official national public holiday. Just FYI - on prepaid tariffs there's already some kind of ads by mobile operators.

This is completely untrue.

"The government" has no say in life support. The government has given Charlie Gard world class medical treatment. The government has also paid for Charlie Gard to have his own legal representation - independent of his parents - to protect his legal rights.

You might want to learn more about the case because nothing in your comment is true.

Here's the GOSH statement which lays out the facts:

http://www.gosh.nhs.uk/news/latest-press-releases/latest-sta...

> 7. Charlie’s parents fundamentally believe that they alone have the right to decide what treatment Charlie has and does not have. They do not believe that Great Ormond Street should have had the right to apply to the Court for an independent, objective decision to be made. They do not believe that there is any role for a Judge or a court. They believe that only they can and should speak for Charlie and they have said many times that they feel they have been stripped of their rights as parents.

> 8. GOSH holds and is bound by different principles. A world where only parents speak and decide for children and where children have no separate identity or rights and no court to hear and protect them is far from the world in which GOSH treats its child patients.

> 9. Throughout this court process, Charlie has been represented by his Cafcass Guardian who has visited him in hospital, spoken to Charlie’s parents, nurses and doctors and written reports that ensure that as much as is possible for a desperately unwell baby, Charlies own viewpoint is articulated and given weight. When asked what happens to the role of the Guardian if their belief that only they have the right to decide on Charlie’s treatment is correct, Charlie’s parents answer that he does not need a Guardian because they will speak for him.

> 10. GOSH believes in its core that every patient is his or her own, unique and special person and that it owes a duty of care to each. The hospital’s mission statement is “The child first and always” and the hospital does not treat any child differently or as less of an individual because of the severity of illness or disability or because of infancy. If anything, special care is given to discover and work out with parents what is best for very vulnerable patients who cannot speak for themselves

I disagree with a number of points in the article, but a particularly questionable claim, which is common in recent years, is that version control is new/modern:

Version control. Twenty years ago, it made sense to write your code on your desktop and send the new code (as patches) by email. But this only makes sense when the pace of collaboration is slow. Today, this would be insane. Anything less than Git is backward. Note that even Microsoft builds Windows using Git today.

Version control has been in widespread use for over forty (40) years. SCCS (Source Code Control System) was released in 1972 -- forty-five, yes forty-five (45) years ago. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Source_Code_Control_System

The widely (and still) used Revision Control System (RCS) was released in 1982 -- 35 years ago. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revision_Control_System

Concurrent Versions System (CVS) was released in 1990 as a networked extension to RCS -- twenty-seven (27) years ago. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concurrent_Versions_System

The Subversion version control system was released in 2000, seventeen (17) years ago and was in widespread use years before Git. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_Subversion

There are, of course, many other version control systems dating back decades in many cases: Perforce, Mercurial, Visual SourceSafe, and others.

Version control has been in widespread use at many companies and organizations at least since the 1980s and has been in widespread use in many open source projects specifically for decades. Many open source or free software projects used CVS or SVN or other version control systems before Git or still do.

There is nothing new or modern about version control. It has been standard practice in software development for over thirty years.
Partisanship didn't increase in a vacuum. The parties lined up more closely with longstanding ideological and cultural divides. There are fewer Southern conservative Democrats, but that's because they became Southern conservative Republicans. Liberal Northern Republicans became liberal Northern Democrats.

It's not clear to me how this proposal would change that fact. And it could very well do the opposite. If 51/49 super-districts are always electing one Republican and one Democrat, what incentive does either representative have to play to the center?

How did you arrive at that conclusion?
I am under the impression that ORM are not helpful. I am in particular not sure why people still use them. I think that part of the response lies in the fact that people don't want to learn SQL, at least that was my position before reading about the subject. Now that I know SQL and knowing that correctly using an ORM can not be done without understanding the generated SQL, I am wondering why ORMs are very popular.

ORM seems to me like a dangerous indirection.

Nowdays I use aiohttp (a python asyncio http framework) with psycopg2 (via aiopg) on a rather large application with only a serialization/validation framework named Colander. I don't feel the need for an ORM. It does the job. What I am doing wrong?

Anyone know of some kind of in line valve for each dripper that senses moisture and will stop flow once adequately watered?

Wasn't trying to underestimate. Was actually genuinely asking the question, which I appreciate you answering. I think you're likely right--many people are more than happy to delude themselves. Maybe I'm too cynical for that. And I think morale can actually improve when you're in an us-against-the-world situation, which is how I'd describe the hail mary situation.

Lastly, why would I go to the mat? Because assuming I still care about the mission of the company, I think some of the greatest opportunities for growth (intellectual, financial) can come out of the darkest hours at companies. And I'm older, but this was my attitude back in the day when confronted by potentially-failing companies. I think we often run from what frightens us instead of appreciating how many new doors may open in those types of situations. Sort of like the (Buffett?) quote "be greedy when people are scared, scared when people are greedy." Yeah, survivorship bias and all, but I'd step into an argument where someone asked if opportunity is more likely in chaos or success (might lose that argument, but I'd still have it).
Can confirm this is a thing in Texas and Kentucky. Expect second home taxes to rise in the next few years.
Doesn't the Constitution afford the states the prerogative to decide how to allocate their representatives? Would a federal law imposing this structure be constitutional?
Tips and top presentations from Write the Docs Portland 2017
How would you stop companies from just erecting solar panels and operating off the grid? Certainly generating your own power starts to make sense at some scale of data center power usage. Build a data center in the desert next to a few square miles of solar panels - companies are already doing this even without an energy tax.

That's honestly why solar will replace grid power very soon: it's near impossible to regulate because you can't cut off access to the sun. It's the difference between buying a fish at the market for dinner and buying a fishing pole.

The more I think on this though, the more I realize that corporations are probably going to become wealthier and stronger than most countries' ability to regulate them. They already have too much influence in government.

Hey there, I'm actually the author of the linked post. Yes whilst you're right about doing this the hard way, this wasn't really what I was wanting to do.

In the post I actually outlined that I had actually captured enough data from a handful of remotes that I could have replayed these captures to control the blinds (and I even had a rig set up to do this).

But that's not what I wanted to do. I was interested in working out what was happening with these remotes and being able to generate as many arbitrary remote codes as I wanted.

Going the step further to reverse engineer the protocol is something I did as a learning (and fun and challenging) exercise. I've definitely picked up skills through this process that I can apply in similar projects later down the track.
Sure, things were worse during the civil war for example. But that's a really low bar.
