You're still not quite getting it. If people have to choose between going into debt from a finance charge or starving on the street with no roof over their head they will choose the former. It's not about financial education it's about hard choices of the underprivileged.
It's not easy to tell whether the market is overvalued or not. Right now if you believe interest rates and inflation will go up within the next few years to anywhere close to historic norms then the market is probably on the hot side. But if rates stay low for very long durations then the market isn't hot. Also international markets have lower valuations than the US so you get something out of diversifying there. You could consider a little less stock in your mix these days but shorting the market would be an extremely risky proposition - more of a gamble. In the long term even if the market is hot and corrects you're still going to do OK.
Perhaps somebody else here listens to the Slate politics podcast, where John Dickerson this week spent 4 minutes describing this phenomenon.
This isn't just some AI gone wrong. YouTube has had an agenda for years. At the very least, people with power to undo these bans are complacent, there is simply no way that YouTube staff are unaware of the gradual crackdowns. Even content producers will mention demonitization occasionally.

I usually opt for 101 if I can afford the slight extra driving time. I find it much more pleasant in terms of both scenery (maybe that is the Megabus route? "Rolling hills" sounds about right) and normal traffic conditions (significantly less truck traffic).
I suggest you re-read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monopolization.

Defining a market as "the products Apple sells" for the purpose of determining that Apple has a monopoly on that market is irrational.

The iPhone is one competitor in the smartphone market. Apple clearly lacks a monopoly.
> but their mission statement is "To organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful."

It's just marketing. If you really want to see what the actual "mission" is read the TOS. Google,Facebook,Twitter and co like to boast about their humanitarian and humanist stance, the Apple way, when it comes to their relationship with their users but that's all a lie. The moment the need of their users doesn't match their financial interest all bets are off. The shit-storm triggered by a few outraged online publications and announcers a few month ago is a demonstration of that fact.

Independence and freedom of speech online has a price and "users" are going to find it out the hardway when Google refuses to host their content for political reasons.

People already forgot, that the tech to share content online already exists, it's called RSS and Google,Twitter,Facebook and co want it to go away.

I can't parse what you're saying. Are you splitting hairs over the word "American"? Context matters, and the context is obvious here.
In the plane crash that killed Colbert's father the pilots were arguing about politics. If thats not ironic I don't know why is.
I didn't summarize the views of Western Europe. Read it again.

Also, that wasn't name calling. That was a statement of fact, though admittedly provocative. You don't know the viewpoints of hundreds of millions of people and I can't believe you think you do.

I know people in America who think the Republican party is left wing and other people who think the Democratic party is right wing. There are as many views of left/right as there are people.

But let's move on. This discussion has gone on long enough.
When Ron says that he is defending [Damore's] right he is saying that Damore's rights have been offended. But Damore has no right of free speech in Google's hallways.
Simply stating that 'its the current year' you can not have those opinions, is not addressing the issue or argument. Its an attempt to shut down debate and silence people.

The article was about techniques you can try to engage people and ideas you disagree with in a more friendly and respectful way. You might want to be more thoughtful of your own posts in that respect.
Definitely jaded. I have been in charge of a couple smaller organizations and worked with some smart people for years to turn them around. In the most memorable case there were simply too many of the "old guard" left when I departed victorious and within a year they had it running just as badly as before. My biggest mistake was not getting rid of all the people that made it bad in the first place. I promoted and shifted them into places where they couldn't screw anything up but they stepped out of the caves the day I left town.

Even years of increasing membership, better benefits, virtually every metric increasing steadily was not enough to convince these people that the changes happening were positive. They wanted to do things "their way".

When I came back a year later I saw our shiny new equipment collecting dust in the corner. A few of the old guard were in the middle of a demonstration on how to pretend that it's still the 17th century. The smart new managers I brought in were gone.

Watching that place boomerang so fast struck a chord in me. The only time I'll agree to run anything now is when I have total control of what happens beneath me. Build little slices of heaven surrounded by towers of corporate bullshit. My long term goal is to build my own company but meager attempts so far haven't worked out.

I couldn't change people's opinions even with years of bulletproof evidence that they were wrong. Maybe a few of them individually, but a very small percentage of the group. They simply went along with things until they had an opportunity to change then back to how they liked them. I now 100% understand why management is gutted when a company changes hands.
It's not up to Github to challenge them. It's up to the person(s) responsible for the "violation". In this case, Github is just the messenger (AIUI).

Yes! It's an amazing book for sysadmins. I bought my copy (4th edition) a few months ago. I'm still reading various bits and pieces.

The new book I'm sure will have a new section on virtualisation, automation (ansible, etc.), docker, docker orchestration tools, service discovery, etc.

I'll buy a copy on Christmas.

The German model definitely has lower risks. If something goes wrong, there will still be something left with which you can rebuild.

The American high-risk model on the other hand is definitely one that isn't long-term sustainable, but it wins out in short term, until another crash happens.
> It is important to note that Pichai makes no attempt to actually debunk Damore's claims about women's biology.

Why is the CEO somehow obligated to debunk the theory? Why are we entertaining the notion that women might be biologically less inclined for engineering? Aren't we passed this?

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills or went through a time machine.
Thats why it would make more sense to create a list (not a custom extension), and host that list outside of github on a non-US server, where DMCA takedown notices can just be safely ignored.

This is the most sensible option for most people.

The tough part will be staying the course if the market crashes, which it will at some point. It'll look like the world is ending and you should be investing in gun powder, canned foods and gold. You need to be comfortable with the idea that it may go down (even 40%-50%) and take a long time to come back up but you can keep buying through that and also get dividends...

I'd be content for people to say, "I will not resort to logical fallacies and ad hominem attacks."

A `===` comparison is explicitly _not_ a deep comparison. It's a reference comparison, ie, "are these two variables pointing to the same object in memory?". Under the hood, that probably is interpreted as a simple pointer comparison, which is fast and cheap. That's why it's the preferred approach for doing comparisons in cases like this. _If_ you update your data immutably, then you get the benefit of quick and simple comparisons to see if things are different.

Now, a reference comparison only tells you if the objects themselves are different. It's entirely possible to have two different objects with the same or equivalent contents, such as in @kasbah's example. Both objects have a key named `a` that has a value of 1, but the objects are different references. The overall assumption when you update data immutably and compare like this is that _if_ two objects are different references, then they _probably_ have different contents, and it's time to re-render your UI.

Loosely related topic: the tales of the ancient Polynesians finding and settling on many island groups in the Pacific, based on navigation skills they developed over time, involving the sun, the stars, the wind, the waves, ocean currents, bird flying patterns, etc. National Geographic magazine had an article or a series on it several years ago, and IIRC, they sent a team out to the Pacific area to research this stuff some, and to interview such living Polynesian navigators. I had read the article/series.

The Morris West book "The Navigator" is also interesting in this connection (though there is only a bit of discussion of the navigation topic in the book, it is not the main focus), and the book is a good read apart from that, both entertaining and for topics like human dynamics when on a voyage as well as when stranded on an island for a long period.

I'm not talking about starving on the street, I'm talking about everybody in US using credit cards for payments and repay. I'm talking about shops offering their own credit cards.

You know when US people use their credit card? Every day. You know when Europeans use their credit card? When abroad. And our credit gets instantly paid by our normal bank account. For us, a credit card is the same as a debit card but with a delay on it.

"Well what’s called libertarian in the United States, which is a special U. S. phenomenon, it doesn’t really exist anywhere else — a little bit in England — permits a very high level of authority and domination but in the hands of private power: so private power should be unleashed to do whatever it likes. The assumption is that by some kind of magic, concentrated private power will lead to a more free and just society.

…that kind of libertarianism, in my view, in the current world, is just a call for some of the worst kinds of tyranny, namely unaccountable private tyranny. Anarchism is quite different from that. It calls for an elimination to tyranny, all kinds of tyranny. Including the kind of tyranny that’s internal to private power concentrations. So why should we prefer it? Well I think because freedom is better than subordination. It’s better to be free than to be a slave. Its’ better to be able to make your own decisions than to have someone else make decisions and force you to observe them. I mean, I don’t think you really need an argument for that. It seems like … transparent."

> Ships aren't build with built-in scuttle capabilities,

The vast majority of small boats have through hole fittings for things like the heads (toilet) or cooling water intake for the engine. Opening the valve and smashing the pipe off is a trivial way to sink the boat. Larger ships will have similar fittings though the sinking will take longer. As noted by your others there's ways to intentionally flood a submarine too even if they're not intended for that purpose.

That's true. I used the word "right" too glibly. However, Google claims to encourage free speech and dissent. Its actions in this case undermine that claim.
I think especially in the last 30 years the risk has been shifted to lower incomes. To me that's the real evil.
I was merely pointing out that this technology was invented in Japan. Since then it has also been installed and about 20 other countries, including France and Spain. The population excuse was debunked years ago.

Also, no one said that it had to had to take an hour. If you go from downtown LA to downtown San Francisco, it’s a pretty nice accomplishment in 3 hours.
(Can't edit my comment anymore, unfortunately. To clarify the context, before it was edited, the grandparent comment I replied to said something like: "This article is very old." The author has since removed that sentence.)
Pichai is obligated to do so because he fired Damore for "perpetuating harmful stereotypes" while at the same time "affirming" that Google values open discussion about what is true.

The notion that women may be biologically less inclined toward engineering is something that can be suggested in a non-contrived way from scientific studies. I am not claiming it is true.

When diversity training is based on the foundation that the totality of the gender disparity in tech is due to prejudice, and there is a possibility other important factors are at play, the resultant policies could have a negative or meaningless effect.

If this assumption about the cause of diversity is shoved down people's throat through a culture of shaming and silencing, then this is a serious workplace problem /unless/ the non-biological cause of the gender disparity is demonstrated to be the only cause by Pichai.
Nomadism is entirely compatible with agriculture, actually. A lot of Native American tribes had a nomadic lifestyle while simultaneously relying heavily on intentional agriculture for a lot of their caloric intake.

"Strict universal" is doing a lot of work there. I suspect very few societies would end up even qualifying as nomadic with that.
You're not making points, you're just disparaging "the left." I can easily do the same to "the right" by flipping a few of your own words.

T1 and T2 sound like typical teenagers whom are products of helicopter, zero-sum, self-esteem parenting: narcissistic, rude and arrogantly convinced of the superiority of their own inexperience. It's just a greater, tragic statistic of most modern American youth: #1 in ego, but nearly last in history, geography and STEM. When someone who's a high-acheiver comes along, these knucke-draggers fling their crap on anyone not at their level.
Wow! The gaps look extraordinary. What a weird thing to learn about today!
The answer to your last paragraph, for the majority of people, is yes. That's how urbanization looks like. That's what the other generations have done. That's how it worked a hundred years ago, with a huge portion of people leaving countryside to relocate in urban centers, that's how it transformed China recently (uncountable millions of people moving from inland farming to their east coast manufacturing), that's how it's ongoing now, and that's how it's going to happen in the future.

The current world increasingly favors centralization and economies of scale, so the "optimal" spread of people gets more and more centralized. Living on the fringe,
unless there's a specific economic need (we'll still need some (1%? less in the long term) people living as on site farmers) is increasingly becoming an expensive "hobby"/lifestyle choice, since you're going to get less services at a much higher cost and with less opportunities for income.

YouTube is a challenge, but you can always use youtube-dl and watch via plex asynchronously

the only missing but for me is replacing photos. Plex does and ok job, but it isn't quite as seamless as I would like.
So?

If youtube can't handle the load, then they shouldn't claim that they can. At the absolute lest, they need a usable appeals process. If they can't do that, then they need to own up to it, and stop allowing anyone to upload anything.

On an extended road trip last month I used both Google maps and Apple maps and found them roughly equivalent.
I think the only solution is a distributed and decentralized web.

Distributed hosting of static content is a sorta-solved problem. But curating, linking and discoverability (which require mutating content) is a lot harder due to the trust anchor problem.

It doesn't have to be the hosting itself that's independent, but it would be an improvement if there was an independent body to which you could appeal.

Yes.

An alternative is to classify Google as a common carrier, exempting them from the DMCA, but preventing them from censoring or even throttling traffic, however given their business model is around sponsorship, it is unclear how to also protect the advertisers' interests. Trying to get government shackles onto Google simply seems too tricky;

It seems much easier to simply run Google with tax dollars and no advertising.
You are projecting by assuming Damore isn't saying what he means. I.e., you are assuming he is deep into the alt-right, which seems like a hidden smear, when there is no evidence that he is.
