I guess I'm not understanding the scenario. A car was stopped in your lane waiting to turn. Presumably you should wait until they have turned, or make a safe lane change to another lane to move around them?
You are a man of far more experience than I am. Thank you for sharing.

I believe I included a lot of the general discussion we've seen in my response.

To answer your question as I gleaned it from children of sibling posts: how to foster inclusion of foreign looking ideas:

- always assume good faith (this really covers it all actually)

- listen carefully and understand what was meant

- always speak to the point that was being made instead of to the person, or worse to the words themselves

- allow both yourself and the other people to change their opinions

Ideas are just memes. We need to have the humility to see that and not associate people / ego / self with them.
Fired Google employee who wrote anti-diversity memo threatens to sue
> if you ignore the technical legal points, am I really harming anyone

> In my opinion, it's helping.

Have you talked this over with Paul Graham (the copyright holder)? Because if you have, and he agreed that it was fine for you to post this to Medium then you are NOT violating copyright law. On the other hand, if you DIDN'T ask him, then YOU are assuming for yourself the right to decide whether this is or isn't "harming anyone" without asking Paul.

Perhaps he is in the middle of negotiations with an advertiser for his site who knows that it has valuable old essays that can't be found on places like Medium. Or perhaps Paul counts on old essays to help establish his reputation, even though he doesn't directly make money from them. These are unlikely, but my point is that YOU DON'T KNOW.

This isn't a case of "ignoring the technical legal points", it is a case of "directly violating the law"! And for good reason -- I may quibble with the length of copyright, but I strongly believe that the basic rights granted by copyright are mostly correct in this situation. I think it SHOULD be up to the author to decide where to publish it and where not to.

Good news though. Even if you DIDN'T get Paul's permission before publishing, copyright law is flexible enough that you may STILL be OK. Specifically, it is not a crime to violate copyright, so you can't be sent to jail over this and you can't be prosecuted by some overzealous District Attorney. Instead, Paul (the copyright holder) has the right to sue you. If he's feeling nice (which he probably is) then he won't.

But stop just copying people's stuff. It's not OK, both legally AND (in my opinion) morally.
The course syllabus cited here currently lists no such policy.

The ultimate source appears to be an alt-right news site that likens this "student appeasement" to appeasement of Hitler's invasion of Czechoslovakia. It then goes on to insinuate that campus welfare programmes are triggering the downfall of society.

Maybe. But what if the something else is he just likes his house and doesn't want to sell. He has enough money to cover his retired lifestyle cost and he enjoys living in his house.

There's nothing wrong with that. In free market you are free not to sell your property even if somebody offers you 100x it's market value. Nobody can force you to sell if you want to keep it.

And besides the millennial guy from the article couldn't afford $2 million anyways (he wants to spend 200k) so that question was pointless anyways because even if the old person said yes he doesn't have the cash.
You've said many things about what you don't believe and what you don't agree with. What of the memo (if any) do you agree with and what do you actually believe about how companies should approach diversity?
It's a bit ridiculous he was fired, but by the same token I don't buy the biology story he's telling.

I feel like if he had skipped that and simply made his suggestions then the memo would have firmer ground to stand on, because then others could say they support them without giving the impression they are sexist.
My predictions are:

- crypto prices will continue to rise, including both halves of the bitcoin fork

It's also your responsibility to educate yourself. It's not like institutionalized racism is some "subtly intangible miasm". For an example, read up on African Americans and the G.I. Bill after WW2. Heck, the Civil Rights Bill was passed only a little over 50 years ago, after centuries of marginalization. If you want a more modern example, read up on studies of racism in the justice and education systems.
Total individual perspective here, but my dad took me on his worksite like 15 years ago to see the big super gorram awesome trucks (seriously those things are HUGE). When I asked about the engines, he said the trucks had massive diesel generators that powered motors, that in turn powered the wheels and hydraulics. So in a way, lots of construction equipment has kind of already been "hybrid."

Personally I don't care how a professor evaluates students. If the student feels like they are getting the experience necessary to learn something or perform in the real world then by all means chose your own grades and continue paying tuition.

What I suspect would happen though is that the student would not be prepared for the real world and any company would quickly realize this. This would lower the economic value of a degree from the institution and as such even students who do not chose their own grades (within the institution) could be negatively affected.

This reminds me of an old (1928) piece titled "On Being The Right Size" by JBS Haldane [0], which lightly touches on many different concerns related to sizing:

I'm not sure I agree but in any case, I'd rather see removal of like kind exchange for stocks (and maybe other things too?). Constantly buying and selling doesn't add to our economy in any real way when it can be deferred forever. Tax a percentage of the gain on any transaction and use that money to fund programs. Let money have velocity and get taxed lots of times per year instead of zero.

I guess Germans are generally very precautious and wouldn't trust contactless debit cards.
I just got back from a four-country trip (3 currencies) and having a credit card was very useful for hotels and car rental places that want to "pre-authorize" charges (often 250 EUR or more).

>Reduced of inflation allows accumulated wealth to mean more over time, whereas higher inflation puts pressure on workers to demand (and obtain) wage increases and keeps the inequality in check.

You have this backwards. Inflation allows those with debt (leverage) to disproportionately capture a larger percentage of wealth.

Those with more debt make out better... who do you think has more debt? Inflation is wealth transfer from the lower and middle class to the upper class.

"His statement that it can lower the bar is correct"

In an n-dimensional space where we take into account all the factors that go into whether or not a candidate is given an offer, you're actually complaining about "lowering the bar" when the bar is already lower for people (for people that's not being targeted for affirmative action) due to systemic effects? You're actually complaining that we're lowering the bar by tweaking other variable so that the bar will be effectively the same obstacle for everyone?

Please explain your rationale for doing so.

That's why I prefer not to assume anything.
This is probably the most insightful comment here. When your grandma is buying some asset class, it's time to sell. I think the biggest complicating factor here is the US government debt and the massive amount of it that the federal reserve owns via its treasury bond buying program since 2008. Who's on the hook for this debt? The common person, via the value of the US dollar. The next crash will be precipitated by actions of the fed and creditors to the US government, not stock market investors. Incidentally, in this environment, cryptocurrencies could emerge as a safe haven.
I don't really support artificial cash injections into the system, but I do agree that if you are going to do that, doing so from the bottom vs. the top will create a greater lasting effect, or at least benefit more people in the short term after a major and sudden recession.

Imagine where we would be if instead of baling out the banks after 2008, letting those banks fail and forgiving the loans they held. Millions of Americans owning their houses free and clear as well a having an extra few thousand dollars a month to spend or save.
I don't see that necessity. Certainly millions will die. Best to ensure all are North Koreans.

A simultaneous strategic + tactical nuclear strike with the intent of wiping out North Korea and it's conventional and nuclear forces would prevent the huge losses for the South.

Just keep our politicians out of the war. MacArthur was right; we should have defeated North Korea and we should have used nukes. Truman screwed up and was the first President to "kick the can down the road."

There's nothing in North Korea except the nuclear weaponry that they have developed that is worth saving/protecting. Other than scouting and gaining control of their nuclear material, there's no reason to commit troops in North Korea. In the ghastly aftermath we should round up their nuclear material and leave everyone to die, instigating expeditions only occasionally to see if we missed anything. No occupation is necessary; no nation-building.

Sometimes extreme measures are called for. Carthage was one example for Rome. Rome delayed too, and Carthage caused Rome great damage until Rome destroyed it. We should effectively "Salt the Earth." in North Korea.

My conviction is that, in about 20-40 years, the rest of the world is going to find a mass grave of what used to be a nation in the Korean Peninsula. When asked about this, world leaders will scratch the backs of their heads and stare at their shoes.
Long Wars and Industrial Mobilization: It Won’t Be World War II Again
I'll just offer a contrary anecdote. A few months ago, I had a catastrophic failure of my X260 failure (hard crash--would not power up) while on site for a client in a manufacturing facility on the south side of Chicago. I called support and within 3 hours, a tech was on site with a comprehensive set of tools and parts. The technician had been repairing ThinkPads since the late 1990s and still wore his original IBM badge along with his newer one. He ended up nearly completely disassembling and re-assembling my machine in the temporary cubical I was sitting in to replace the motherboard, but was gone within two hours and the machine has worked fine ever since.

I'm sure service varies, but I always purchase the same day, onsite, four hour warranty option and try to be a little savvy about who the contracted service firm is. You can use Lenovo's website to find the certified repair firms and suggest that your ticket be dispatched to one you want.

I have been buying a new ThinkPad every couple years for about 15 years. I have ambivalent feelings about the newest generations, but still find them to be the most ergonomic and comfortable option for me (TrackPoint, keyboard quality, matte display, extended battery options).

Wankel engines work fairly well, but the geometry is so constraining that they can't be improved much. Can't change the shape of the cylinder head. Can't change the valve timing dynamically. That's all fixed by the geometry. They got as good as they were going to get decades ago.
Blogging is among the worst ways to make serious money.

The typical revenue source are ads. You need massive amounts of traffic to make even small amounts of money (think tens of dollars per month). You can't get massive amounts of traffic "blogging and writing stuff about anything".

Rate for ads are getting worse, adblockers are getting more and more popular and you're competing with polished operations like buzzfeed that suck the air out of the ecosystem.

This is not to say that no one ever made money from blogging, just that there are easier and more reliable ways of making money, like writing utility software.

North Korea is highly rational? If they get a nuclear missile we'll really find out. Their overblown threats can be tolerated as long as their capabilities remain conventional, as US/South Korea has substantial conventional defenses in the region. If they start making the same threats with viable nuclear missiles, how can we not take them seriously? Or should we just normalize countries threatening to nuke each others' major cities?

Also, the US committed genocide in Iraq/Lybia/Syria? Just goes to show you how little people know of history. I'm pretty sure the US killed many times more Germans and Japanese in WWII and no one accuses us of "Genocide" there, because by the definition of the word it wasn't. And it sure as hell isn't in Iraq/Libya/Syria. Hell what have we actually done in Syria besides provide support to some native factions, launch a few cruise missiles, some air strikes, and some special forces operations? If that's genocide then we're going to need a new term for the holocaust.

Reminds me of the BBC broadcast talking to the Somali ambassador about recent US drone strikes against Al-Shabbab and civilian casualties. The interviewer seemed aghast that the ambassador actually supported the strikes in the face of civilian casualties. The ambassador responded that they were at war, and if they'd sent in conventional ground forces the civilian casualties would have been much worse.

People in the west seem to have forgotten the nature of war. I sometimes wonder if western populations would have the will to fight Russia if they invaded Lithuania or something.
You are correct, after doing some digging I found this caption:

From https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/10/us/politics/donald-trump-...:

>The chiefs of America’s intelligence agencies last week presented President Obama and President-elect Donald J. Trump with a summary of UNSUBSTANTIATED reports

>The summary is based on memos generated by POLITICAL OPERATIVES SEEKING TO DERAIL MR. TRUMP’S CANDIDACY

>The memos describe sex videos involving prostitutes with Mr. Trump in a 2013 visit to a Moscow hotel

(emphasis mine)

They make it very clear they were unsubstantiated and generated by people with a clear intent and bias, there is no comparison to BB's knowingly publishing falsehoods.
This is pretty good. The one element that I don't see here is the connection between money supply growth and increases in population and productivity. If money is a representation of the value that people generate, we need a source of money that roughly grows at the rate of growth in value created by humans. Otherwise, we end up with significant inflation or deflation, both of which are bad.
Finally some good work for writers! But seriously artists have been kept alive by the state for millennia, no shock here
No. There is literally no high-res image in existence of the lack of light effected by a black hole's event horizon. Any cool-looking picture of light apparently warping around some unseen object, gas jets shooting out of a black ball, or any other depiction of any fidelity is an artist's impression at this point.

Currently, there is a project underway (http://eventhorizontelescope.org/) coordinating the efforts of many different researchers with the goal of resolving the event horizon of a black hole. This project would only produce an image that most people would still call extremely blurry. But it would be the first legitimate image of the characteristic visual features of a black hole.
I wasn't meaning to imply that wealth should be taxed, however it's a fair point that I'm rather badly conflating income and wealth in the OP - I'm basically using wealth as a proxy for income. I suspect that they are very strongly correlated though (a quick google shows [1]). Unfortunately I can't seem to track down a hard figure on the 20th percentile of income in the US.
