The particular issue described above (raising "base" prices to show a larger discount) is common in USA but illegal and thus very rare pretty much everywhere else. I'm quite sure that amazon.de and amazon.co.uk didn't apply this practice.

There's a rather common set of "truth in advertising" laws (e.g. to show a "x % off", the base price can't be made up ("recommended price") but you must have sold this item for certain amount of time for that old price already, the sale can't last for more than x months (in that case, that becomes the base price), etc, etc. USA has chosen not to adopt such laws.
> it doesn't really matter if the left is going "too far", but rather whether the consumers of right-wing media think they are going too far based on the lies they are being fed

But it does. That's exactly the point. It's a pendulum of sorts. A symbiosis where one cannot exist without the other in equal proportion. For any 'reasonable' discourse to happen there must be the acknowledgement of this fact; right or left, you come to the table biased. The one-sided blame game won't work because all it does is exacerbate the situation.

> very, very rich people who have the most to lose will support to protect their wealth.

Here's a fallacy that was debunked in the election. If the very rich are 1%-ers then how is it that so many sound-minded individuals chose Trump? The math doesn't support your statement.
ok, then i assume it's one EULA for everything in the store, that customers now choose to install themselves and is not part of windows. ie. it is a new product. otherwise, what is the point of moving it?
just curious: you say "new, factory fresh install"... is this factory fresh, as in "OEM" install, or your own install? if its OEM, could it be whatever crap was installed? third party antivirus, etc? i have Win10 installed on a Surface Book, and, other them me installing stuff i shouldent, the machine works well... i did have to uninstall corporate AV (the standard MS one works just as well... and its cheaper than the corporate one...) but other than that, as long as i dont install "stupid" stuff (other AV, any other crap that fecks with the system) all is good...
In some formal scheme yes. In the actual situation no, it could not easily. Or we can reduce the question to a squabble of semantics: Alright, the dog's actions were not conscious and actively planned, but then neither are ours.

You are of course right that argument from own lack of imagination is no proof of anything.

Paint isn't going anywhere.
Is this anything but a fit of pique on the part of the maintainer of the mirror? It seems that the maintainer is mainly saying "because I have done many good things, no-one is allowed to complain about anything I do." It seemed that the notification was polite and professional, and made very clear that it involved no personal judgement, only a response to user demand. (The free-speech issue seems to be a red herring; no-one is, as far as I can tell, denying his right to name his mirror as he pleases. As the saying goes, "free speech is the right to say whatever you please, but not the right to have anyone listen.")
It's not about luxury or having a concierge. It's a basic trust issue. You can't trust AirBnB reviews.

We had an issue with a place where we wanted to stay for a week in Italy. There was a very noticeable smell of paint/dust, and we couldn't sleep. What do you do then? The host offered to "fix the problem", but how would you fix that? There's also the issue of proof: You can't take a photo of smell. Anyways, we got a percentage of the money back, but of course that meant that AirBnB wouldn't let us post a review. Basically, they pay you for your silence.

And that's why I wouldn't use AirBnB anymore either. You can't trust the reviews.

To clarify Paint's appeal; in addition to this list https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14845533 , if you want to drag a square selection of something somewhere else, paint is probably still the goto app in 2017. If not, it has been for far too long. It's a failure on the part of other image apps. Paint hits a power/accessibility sweet spot.

This is demonstrably false, because otherwise the logical conclusion is to do everything yourself. Including growing your own food.

The entire premise of market economies is that people are better at different things and by working together you get a higher aggregate amount of value. I.e Get more stuff with less resources spent(which includes time)

Reading and resulting thought are exercise for the brain. Some days you do a triathlon. Some just a stroll around the block. But both are better than mindlessly sitting on the sofa watching TV. Most TV is not exercise.

With that said, the mind is like other muscles. It has a limited capacity. That is, it also needs recovery. Reading "Your Brain at Work" was a seminal moment for me.

Finally, reading, observing (as mentioned above) and watching (i.e., TV or mobile device) seem to be three different things. They each engage the mind (and thought process differently). Based on my experience, there is a difference in people who read the news, and those who watch it. Reading, to me, is active. Watching is passive. How you think (about the news, for example) effects what you think. Or so it seems.

> That whole categorization is a joke

It's a very serious distinction. One which wars have been fought over many times over (from the french revolution to the cold war). To trivialize it is more than naive.

> Tell me what you want, why you want it and how you believe will work best to get it

There are many things I personally want but underlying it all is the idea of non-egalitarianism. I want structure in any society where merit and hard-work are given the utmost priority. Why do I want it? Because it is the most natural and most proven way to create proper incentive structures for the best outcome for other humans and myself.

How will I get it? First of all, remove most, if not all, government involvement in citizens' affairs. Allow for free markets to prevail and for the best ideas and the best people to rise to the top. I will take aristocracy over democracy any day. Democracy has become a tool that's been used to take away the liberties of individuals in the guise of freedom and equality.
Okay so when I first heard this, I was kind of enraged, because I use paint daily for screenshots, ad-hoc cropping and stuff.

And when I tried Paint3D in the past it was garbage. Someone in this thread said that it is actually easy to crop with it, and I tried again, and yes it is actually a bearable experience, but scaling the image gives a crappy quality, so it is a no-go.

Then I got the Win+Shift+S screen clipping tool, which is awesome, it only gets the clipped screenshot into the clipboard, which is a half-assed solution, but then I remembered I got evernote, and made Win+Shift+D save the clipboard into a new note.

This way I can instantly take a screenshot in an already cropped way, and save it for future use, and Evernote can easily Annotate the image with text, or arrows, which is sufficient.

Awesomeness!
Just like the other non programming book on the list(Thinking Fast and Slow) GEB is a lot about perception to me.

Understanding that nothing is purely logical nor is it purely expressionistic; by pigeonholing your perception of any design whether it be Code, Math or Art to either Logic xor Expression you are blinding yourself

The other angle for GEB is design

I read GEB along with Design of Design years ago following my mentor at the times suggestion, I would highly recommend doing this.

> What would your alternative suggestion be though?

My alternative is only go to work as much as you need to. Food, shelter and some basic enjoyment, not more. That's something like $10-20k per year, at most. Which means you really only need to work 2ish days a week.

> And if the implied alternative is to be workable for everyone, we have to magic roads, healthcare etc out of nowhere with no tax dollars.

Not no tax dollars, but certainly less. It's clear that if everyone only went to work half as much we'd only need to build half the roads and trains and airports.

If every single person went to work only 4/5ths of what they do now. (i.e. 4 days per week instead of 5), The economy would only grow at 4/5ths of what it does now, but otherwise, everything would continue to function more-or-less like it does today. Once you see that, you realize it's also true for 3/5ths or even 2/5ths.

I have a Neato and although it doesn't "remember" the layout (I mean, layouts can change, things get moved etc) it usually only takes around 3-5 seconds for it to scan the room and then it's on its way. So I do not see it as an issue or inconvenience. Is the Roomba different in that respect?

I remember seeing Roombas a couple of years ago and they were very 'dumb' compared to the Neato. Even the top-end model used a pretty basic wall following algorithm whereas the Neato uses laser to scan the room. Do the new, top-end, Roombas not also use a laser now?
I think the point here is that a) he did everything right b) he did nothing wrong and c) it doesn't really matter what characters go into the name.

I think the complaint is quite petty, and it doesn't really solve any problems. Approximately nobody is going to have a worse opinion of Arch Linux because of the content of a url in /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist, and it's basically a waste of time to address this as an issue.
You'd be making a huge mistake, and if I were at a higher station than you when you did that, I would be very close to booting you if could be argued as a net good or neutral to do so.

In a sleeping capsule, passenger's ranges of movement up/down and forward/backward would inherently be more restricted than in a seat. If necessary, a belt could be provided, although it might not be as comfortable because there's no guarantee on where the person's waist will be when lying down.

The way I picture it is replacing seats as they are currently laid out in e.g. a 747 - 3 seats become stacked capsules -> aisle -> 3/4 seats become stacked capsules -> aisle -> 3 seats become stacked capsule. I don't deny that getting into these capsules would be awkward for people with limited mobility, but I do imagine it is within the realms of possibility while meeting safety regulations.

> because otherwise the logical conclusion is to do everything yourself

The logical conclusion is to do as much as you can yourself, and only get others to do things you are unable to do yourself. Where possible, don't use the work/income/tax/payment cycle to do it, try to use bartering or something more efficient where there are not so many middle-men taking a cut.

> The entire premise of market economies is that people are better at different things and by working together you get a higher aggregate amount of value

Ah-ha, you're right - but it doesn't create "higher value" for the individual worker.. it's higher value for those at the top of the pyramid.

> If it didn't work. Market economies wouldn't work.

Again, you are right, they don't work! The rich are getting vastly richer while the workers are getting vastly poorer. Look around you.

You might not have noticed, but the reason everyone goes to work every day for their entire lives is NOT because it's the most efficient or smartest thing for them to do. It's because they have been convinced that it is, and they are chasing the carrot dangling on a stick in front of them (house, car, new iPhone, etc.)

>Mechanic could probably change the brakes on a car without even thinking about it, you would probably take a few hours research before you even start.

I can tell you have never tried. Even the first time I did it I took less than an hour (inc research), and actually it would still have been "cheaper" even if it took 8+ hours (I was earning ~$70k as salary, mechanics where I live start at $145/hr)
