For people saying; "its working for me". Here is the explanation.

The block has been implemented using a hosts based method. Such methods work in HTTP as anyone on the network can intercept the traffic and modify it. This snooping is not possible in HTTPS, hence the word secure.

(Update: The above statement is misleading. Please read TallGuyShort's comment for clarity).

This kind of block sometimes take time to propagate given how our ISP networks are setup. The blockage can be implemented at any level. ISP, acquiring ISP, backbone etc.

But even HTTPS can get blocked via DNS provided you are using a DNS which is under the influence of DoT. Most internet users use Google DNS(8.8.8.8) or OpenDNS(208.67.222.222) or Berkeley DNS (4.2.2.2) as their DNS (They have fallback ips also). This is set in your network adapter settings or router settings. They are not under the influence of the DoT. I am not sure if there is a DNS block as I use Google DNS.

Also, IP based blockage is possible which restricts access to HTTPS sites but it is not the case here.

Censorship is no solution to piracy or terrorism. Burying your head in the sand doesn't solve the problem.

>desire for self-gain/self-promotion

This often involves being deceptive, which would explain both of your points. For many people, status is everything and it doesn't matter how they get there. Selling yourself is often more important than having the actual skills required for a position.

And let's face it: Not everyone at Google needs to be a rocket scientist. We've also seen how shallow Google's hiring practices are.* Ticking check boxes is more important than correct answers, which perfectly fits with everything we're currently seeing.

Most of my projects I wound up switching from RxJS to xstream [1], for several reasons related to size/performance and synergy with a framework I heavily use (Cycle.js). It's RxJS influenced, but written from scratch in Typescript with a much simpler API surface and somewhat easier to reason with semantics (default "hot" and "shared" Observables versus default "cold" and "unpublished" Observables).

Also, Typescript now supports (since 2.3) downleveling async/await all the way to ES5, which is very handy.

True, there is bias in hiring processes, this is one of the main points the author of the 'manifesto' (for lack of a better word) addresses. Maybe he does not address it in ways you agree with, but address it he does.
If online verification is used, issues of no-connectivity/poor-connectivity/latency can cause problems. Polling units are sent to remote corners of the country.

Loading the polling unit with aadhar database can be one approach. Very few know (relative to the number of personnel involved in the polling process), as to which polling unit will go to which polling station. Trying to load constituency specific database into polling unit will increase the surface area of the people who have to know which unit goes where. Loading the aadhar database of full constituency into polling units might not be technically feasible.
But if other countries have more equal representation in tech, India and Malaysia for example, then doesn't the biological argument fall apart? The difference isn't between men and women but between America and other countries.

I want to balance the world and given the people what they deserve (same job = same salary). Try to fix the luck issue (either if you are starving in Africa or your salary at google is lower than the rest).

I never said given unqualified people better jobs, I said give people in the same jobs the same salary (don't accuse me of not staying in the point when you don't understand my argument and them make a claim of something I didn't say, please).

> I'm having a hard time, I'd like someone to help me, but the first one to help me should be ME. I should do everything that is in my power to help myself, I shouldn't expect help from others.

You think everybody has the same opportunities in the world, which is not the case. Sometimes you need external help and you cannot do anything by yourself (maybe you are lucky and will never suffer this, but doesn't imply it doesn't happenn).

I am asking the same question again, where do you put the line to take an action? For you it is clear the jobs are not an issue, if someone have a better salary with the same job position we shouldn't do anything. But when should we start taking action when the luck is harming people? I put the example of the person in africa starving as an extreme to try to help with my argument.

That's just not true, unless you use a twisted definition of "white nationalist" that means "anyone who has ever said anything acknowledging that white people are a group with interests".

> pvote.org seems like a decent solution, it's <500 lines of code that needs to be audited.

Quoting from the website:

"Pvote is small. The current version is 460 lines of Python. It uses Pygame for graphics and audio."

So, add to that 130000 lines of pygame, 1.5 million lines of cpython, 14 million lines for gcc, 20 million for the linux kernel, ... and you haven't even begun to list all the stuff you would need to audit?
You can watch the video, it shows examples of rebase with feature branches.
Electronics isn't a problem. The problem is electronics that you cannot personally verify. Every step can be electronic and things be just fine. However if someone decides to cast doubt on any point in the chain it needs to be possible to verify that link actually was done correctly.

With your system I can cast doubt on the entire chain, and there is no problem because you can remove all doubt by taking those paper ballots and counting them all by hand. With several hundred million ballots to count it is obviously expensive (in man-hours), but you can see how to verify that counts. Note that the above verification is something your average idiot with no knowledge of computers can understand and trust.

There exist systems that are all electronic: the voter pushes a button (on a touch screen) and from there on we only have the count. As a programmer I can think of many ways I can make the voting system change a few votes and there is no way to know that the machine's count is wrong.

Part of what make this hard is anonymous votes are important. There are cases in history where someone was forced (with a gun) to vote for someone they probably wouldn't have voted for otherwise. We have solved this problem by having watchers at the polls (from all sides) ensure that nothing funny happens at the polls, and once you leave the booth nobody has any way to know who you voted for.

The above is why I think absentee voting needs to be restricted to those who physically cannot get to the polls on voting day (I'm fine with a voting week or month)

Non-sensationalist headline:

A subsequent randomised longitudinal training experiment demonstrated that first-person shooting games reduce grey matter within the hippocampus in participants using non-spatial memory strategies.

And the rest of it, which changes the whole character of the article...

Conversely, participants who use hippocampus-dependent spatial strategies showed increased grey matter in the hippocampus after training. A control group that trained on 3D-platform games displayed growth in either the hippocampus or the functionally connected entorhinal cortex. A third study replicated the effect of action video game training on grey matter in the hippocampus. These results show that video games can be beneficial or detrimental to the hippocampal system depending on the navigation strategy that a person employs and the genre of the game.

Interesting study, terrible article.
I am certainly not either, I just think people grabbed their pitchforks impulsively and painted him as a misogynist monster without hearing his side of the story. From the interview it sounds like the document was sparked from an internal diversity meeting that was dubious in its intent. Whether that is actually truth or not who knows but I get the impression James was trying to have a discussion and present some evidence but ended up getting roasted instead of having the discussion he was hoping for.

The issue aside, the hypocrisy in this whole situation is really what pisses me off. James appears to be soliciting discussion and trying to consider both point of views while the masses simply took whatever the media headline was an ran with it without considering both sides.

There are lots of other places in the process which might have bias the other way that you don't see. (And to be fair, they might not, or they might add yet more bias towards women. The point is just that it's really, really hard to evaluate bias from within, or even from without.)
> So the only alternative to paying for something you don't own is to steal it and pretend that you're somehow justified because you don't agree with the way the law is written?

Well laws are meant to be interpreted rather than followed verbatim. But that genuinely wasn't the point of my post and I'm certainly not advocating piracy. That doesn't mean I have to agree with how the movie industry is run either.

My point was that Disney should be upping their game to make their content more accessible rather than making it harder and using their monopoly via intellectual property laws to force their market position. That just seems really disingenuous with the point of intellectual property - like how Apple and Samsung went to war.

Copyright law wasn't intended to last the period of time it does. In fact copyright law was first conceived to allow publishers to make money from publishing but then the information was always intended to go into the public domain. Granted we are talking about 300ish years of history (IIRC) and times change but given the profits Disney are raking in you can hardly argue that they haven't recouped their production costs. However I'm not trying to argue against capitalism here either. My real issue with Disney is that they have been one of the biggest campaigners of extending copyright law, and also one of the biggest abusers of the public domain with a multitude of stories adapted and then trademarked (Jungle Book, Little Mermaid, Cinderella, etc). They make billions from "stealing" public domain stories and yet people like yourself complain if someone suggests pirating Disney's work as an alternative (I'm not by the way, but you assumed I had) and that seems somewhat unfair in the general sense when Disney have intentionally priced themselves out of reach for many parents. As an aside: I think the fact that Disney often targets younger audiences really helps them here as well because it makes it harder for parents to boycott their services.

This is why I say I'd rather see them working with existing providers instead of running their services in their own silo forcing people to pay for yet another subscription service just to access Disney content. You're right they have no legal nor economic obligation to do so; but I think respecting your customers wishes should count for something given that in any other industry customers could vote with their feet and easily switch services.
> More precisely it is taxation by citizenship, not residence.

Both. Non-citizens (inc. illegal immigrants) are required to pay US taxes just for residing in the United States. The US will actually give non-citizens a unique tax ID (TIN) for this express purpose.

So the US will tax both based on residential status AND citizenship status.
>> I interpreted it as ten percent. <<

Likewise.
Actually 10% is more logical than 10000%, which would be 100 fold... and that's unrealistic.
I reread it again and it was really 10000%.
Great point. I wonder, if everyone should, in their middle ages, really think this through. And perhaps make a career change if their work requires something they wouldn't be comfortable doing later in life.

W.. what? Literally your post. I'd have to quote the whole thing. "many people's first instinct". It wasn't many people's first instinct.

Again, I read the article, many others read the article and wrote detailed responses. It's not my job to point these out. Someone making a stupid argument does not obligate anyone to engage or correct them. A massive popular backlash against a shitty idea isn't "trying to shut it down".

If I submitted an internal memo advocating pedophilia or something everyone would rightfully dismiss me. No one would be obligated to engage with my dumb ass, and you're all acting like that would be some kind of tragedy or moral failing on the part of everyone around me, rather than me for writing a stupid memo in the first place.

You should just say "I think women are inferior" rather than trying to dictate how people approach an incident adjacent to your agenda, just like white nationalists should just come out rather than being coy and hiding behind "free speech" issues.
it is, but in a slightly different way: I know that in Italy every vote equals something like 4 euros from public funds to the party I gave it to.

So if I want to help that party to continue going on by voting it it is the same than giving them ~4 euros (money that come from my taxes).

Nothing different from crowdfunding, but public.

What's the problem?
> It's their thing, so they get to set their rules for giving access to it.

The government isn't "their thing". They need to negotiate with the rest of society if they want anyone else to enforce those rules.

> What's immoral about "I created Star Wars

You are ignoring a lot of what I wrote about monopolising middle-men, or the role/interest of government in actively enforcing these "propositions".

Do you also not believe in "resale" laws?

> Only as much as DIU shows

Yes, I don't believe this either, I think these kinds of argument are specious. And people acting under under DUIs are a) under the influence, not at their full rational capacity b) a minority, most people support DUI laws.

It's difficult to predict mortality rates. Advanced healthcare techniques (e.g. CRISPR) could completely eradicate entire classes of diseases (kind of like how anti-biotics and vaccinations changed healthcare completely), or they could lead to nothing.

So we might find that the average age of death jumps up by 20+ years in the next 50-60 years (just like it did after WW2).

Nuclear war aside we almost certainly won't see a drop in the average age.
Some places actively encourage it, and provide forums for discussing such topics. Google, for example..
It is an amortized cost. The NYT claims Medicare costs the government roughly $6,000/person/year. So the question is whether the motorcycles reduce an average of 3 years of life per person. (Ignoring price shocks from giving them out.)

But... 2015 data says ~5,000 cyclists died out of a total population of 8,600,000, making for .05% of cyclists dying per year. Assuming a grant at 65 and a life expectancy of 85, that's an average of .01 years of life lost in the first year. (And this assumes everyone rides them as much as people who choose to buy motorcycles!) The years lost decline as people age, of course, but even raw multiplication only gets us an average of .2 years of life lost per person over the course of the project.

Obviously this doesn't adjust for varying risk profiles compared to normal motorcycle riders, but we'd be talking about being more than 15 times as likely to die as most motorcyclists to make this math add up.

All moral issues aside, it looks like the math just doesn't back this one.
