The counter argument would be neighbouring Myanmar, which is remarkably underdeveloped for tourists by comparison despite comparable tourist potential (and oil money to invest in infrastructure) because its authoritarian government has historically been boycotted, whereas Thailand's series of mostly authoritarian governments interspersed with elections and coups have usually played the international relations game just well enough to avoid becoming a pariah state.

But it's quite difficult to find a tropical paradise destination with progressive liberal democratic government

I'm relatively 'new' to allergies, but from some of the conversations with doctors there was a fear that repeated reactions (even minor) could be priming the body for worse reactions. This obviously goes against the results we are seeing now, but don't forget this is a very new area of study - people were only first diagnosed with food allergies in the 60s.

The original trial (I believe) came from a study that saw a certain Jewish community that eats a lot of powdered peanut, had a higher incidence of children losing their nut allergies. So the environment helped to prime these children.

My kid has allergies, and over the last 2 years we've seen the advice change rapidly - from initial suggestions to keep him away from anything that might cause him hives (soft play centres etc) to now where they encourage that (though obviously we still keep him away from eating allergens.

He had a laundry list of allergies that he responded to on his skin prick test last year, but his results yesterday were so much better - with the possibility that he only has 4 core responses left (peanuts, sesame, milk, egg) - with time still to lose those over time (he's only 3). We've been giving him loads of probiotics, namely Water Kefir - but no idea if he would have grown out of them anyway.

Happy to have a stab at any questions people might have - but I'm no expert, just a (reasonably) well read dad - my wife know far more than me about this.
"The best games I played recently are all indie stuff that I could have played on a much older machine."

If you try it, you may discover that's not the case. A lot of indie stuff is taking advantage of faster computers to use things with higher levels of abstraction, and indie games often have really quite terrible levels of performance relative to the complexity of the game as compared to a AAA title. They run at 60fps because they're net simpler, and a lot of times you may find they're barely running at 60fps on a medium-class machine.

I'm not complaining, because the alternative is often that the game simply wouldn't exist if the only choice the developers had was to drop straight into C++ and start bashing away with OpenGL directly.
Except it is different. The CEO has clearly stated that they won't take terrorist sites down, or any other kind of site, because it's not their job as a utility provider. [1] Its concerning because of its a violation of clearly established policy with an arbitrary decision by the CEO. If it were policy, it wouldn't be a big deal, my own company has anti-terrorism/hatred etc policies. We take this stuff down. It sets a bad precedent for them, they can't have it both ways.

Unfortunately I've just thought of another - moaning about time estimations - even after these have been pared down to the absolute minimum with the expectation of putting in extra hours on the side to meet the deadline!

Good to get this stuff of the chest sometimes.
>Are there muslims and jews that don't circumcise/mutilate their children? Are they still muslims and jews? If you say yes, the it's not a religious tenet, but a cultural tradition.

There's no difference between the two. You can break any religious tenet and still belong to the particular religion/faith.

Heck, you can murder people and still be considered a christian saint for example.
I've been 100x or 1000x in certain situations. Two examples: a solution required a recursive descent parser which no one recognized or knew how to implement, and another time a team fought a bug in some Java code for weeks, but none of them understood thread safety. So in these two instances, I've done things other simply couldn't. Not because I'm special in anyway, just because I had some experience these others lacked.

Otherwise, I am a thoroughly mediocre performer. I'm a minimum effort Loser[1] all the way.

My elementary school library in rural Alberta Canada carried BYTE back in the early 80s. At one point they dumped all their old copies on me. I remember combing through the amazing ads for S-100 bus systems back in 83, 84, just salivating. I learned a lot.
Well, no, really. Seems like this is due to the way Chrome deals with print CSS and PDF generation rather than any kind of calculations I do prior to invoking PDF generation...

> - Images ballooned in size by a megabyte (without adding much extra requests)

For some reason, around the time "digital native" design and designers got big, it suddenly became OK to include giant design-only images (not content, not a logo, not even a fancy button, just because the designer wanted a giant image) in web pages, which before was one of those things you Just Didn't Do in proper web design. It's gotten so bad that now it's done with videos. Web old-timers find this to be in shockingly poor taste, but that's where we are. Bring back the "bad" print-background designers, I say.
I think there should also be a switch to make it faster.

I don't think comparing state actions against other states is very useful or instructive when you're talking about non-state actors. We don't "wage war" against domestic political groups. That doesn't mean we shouldn't do anything, but I hope you realize that military action is an extreme response to what amounts to a relatively small (but worrying) group.

Agreed. Sometimes though I suspect this falls into the deliberate siloing of information category - though God knows how anyone thinks that keeping people uninformed is a good way to write software.
Another thing often happening, is features coming down to developers, who by slight alteration can be trivial to implement. This usually happens due to missing domain knowledge of the management and sales (and a lack of insight regarding this lack).
Well, it was extremely plentiful and cheap--which led to a sort of stigma being attached to it. Lobster is also very delicate; if it's not prepared super-fresh, it's not very good.

Food fashions aren't always rational though. It seems to have become popular largely when people from New York and DC started vacationing up in New England in the 1800s.
No kids myself but my parents did not give me an allowance.

Instead, they were very transparent about our finances. We were situated in the lower-to-mid working class, we have basics covered and some "fun money" but no vacations, new cars, little eating out, etc.

If there was something my Brother or I needed (things we wanted but were not necessary were usually given as birthday/holiday gifts only), they would walk us through their thought processes on how they decided if they could afford it. They included us in the decision and explained how buying certain things would mean sacrificing others.

We were also given money management tasks that were used for necessities. For example, we would be given $20 each to come up with meals we wanted that week at the grocery store. Same thing with new school clothes, sports gear, etc. They let us be decision makers but didn't hand us money to do with as we pleased.

I also got my first job at 13 (farm labor), and haven't stopped working yet.

I was always a little jealous of the kids who got $5, $10, or $15 per week to do with as they pleased - but I will say I feel like I've had a leg up on budgeting, saving, and general money management than many of my peers.

If I have kids I will probably have some sort of similar system. I don't like the idea of giving away "free" money, and tying it to chores is weird to me because they are something that need to be done and won't ever be "rewarded" again after you're a kid.
I agree that running Winzip on an Rpi is an XY problem. [1] But I think that's just the way the world works. Sure it can be done with tar plus some indecipherable goboldygook plus a file name. Sure it can be done with some other program that has one name in the GUI (e.g. 'archive manager' on Ubuntu) and who knows what actual name.

The advantage of Linux is that it makes doing hard technical things less hard. The disadvantage of Linux is that it makes doing technically easy things harder...not because of a technical shortcoming but due to community norms. One of those community norms is to frown upon approaches that are not considered technically best.

It's ok if someone else doesn't do things the best way over the long run. Most of what most people do on computers is disposable and unimportant. There's no need to boil the ocean. Excellence when unzipping a file is not really necessary, and settling for good enough is not a moral failing. By 'good enough' I mean good enough for the user, not for an old Linux hand.

Good solutions meet the user where they are not where someone else is. If I'm standing at someone's desk in a place of business, then the "use a native Linux program" might do that because I am there to guide them through it and I will be there in two weeks when they have to do it again and in two months and so on...though that perhaps suggests another reason to just let that person run Winzip with poor performance.

From personal experience of learning Linux on my own, eventually after several years I have reached the point where I usually try to do things a Linuxy way, first...or within an hour or two of trying to do it a more familiar way. Doing things in a Linuxy way means I often wind up boiling a large lake if not the ocean.

> You've probably missed the memo. Not all neo-Nazis, and certainly not all modern alt-right/new-right groups are against Jews or want to exterminate any particular group. In fact many are pro-Israel and are even OK with homosexuals and blacks, but favor a strong state, discipline, no immigration, traditional values, etc. So, that means you're ok with them then?

I am well aware that there are normalizing voices within their ranks, that vocally proclaim a nuanced view. The news and discussions on daily stormer does not mirror that, nor did the conduct in Charlottesville. If they held those views you claim, they would not carry the Nazi flag, do the salute, use SS and other symbols, shout "Heil Trump", etc, etc, etc.

You either identify as a neo-Nazi, or you don't.

I can't say that I'm a vegan, but that I eat meat, eggs, fish and dairy.

You instead look at what someone eats, and then determine if they are an omnivore or other.

This invalidates all of their previous statements. A very bad PR move. I think we all knew it was at their whim, based on some of the other sites they continue to host. Just more greed masqurading as virtue. That seems to be the speed of progress these days.

Investigative journalists publish reports every year or so. You can probably find more recent ones, but here's one from three years ago[1]. Many of the big supermarket chains are the end points for the slave-produced seafood products, Walmart, Carrefour, Costco, Tesco and some others. I think last year a couple of them threatened to stop buying from Thai suppliers, not sure if they made good on it.

Not sure about countries with more sensible policy but in the UK, as an academic, you have to publish regularly to not have your research grant applications declined. This means that there are a lot of papers out there that are published for publishing's sake. It's a game you have to play for your career as a postdoc. Depending on the field, it can be hard to tell whether a paper was written for publishing's sake or to actually present a useful result from the abstract alone.

Because of effectively mandatory publishing, mirroring is quite a big effort and, from a publisher's point of view, relatively easy to spot. It is probably these countermeasures which we are talking about here wrt LSU. With research being ever more focussed and specialised, there are fields where there may only be a couple of papers and you may be the only person in your department that is interested in that particular paper in that particular year.

Now, you could cache papers as they are downloaded, but there are definitely ways of making papers cache unfriendly and the journals have probably already done this, given they really don't have a lot else to do. As others have mentioned, it is probably also a breach of contract to cache or mirror the papers.
>Hitler was openly advocating persecution of Jews and annexing countries through war.

The US (and France and co) were quite antisemitic at the time as well. Hitler took that sentiment and run with it to unprecedented murdering levels, but it was there (and of course, when it was millions of developing worlds colonial slaves who got the axe, nobody really cared. Heck, people didn't even care that much for Jews at the time either: https://www.ushmm.org/wlc/en/article.php?ModuleId=10005267 ).

As for "annexing countries through war" the European colonial powers had been doing exactly the same to 2/3 of the world for centuries (and continued to do so after WWII).

The difference is that Hitler did that "annexing" to other European countries, not to third world people (for whom hypocritical Europeans could not care less).

(Of course European countries have also had a long bloody history of fighting and annexing each other for centuries up to WWI as well).
This is why I despise censorship and control. Even against people like daily stormers and neo-nazis.

Chinese tourists gets arrested for making silly nazi salutes. Everyone celebrates it because that's german law.

This guy gets arrested for sharing silly articles. Everyone is upset he got arrested for breaking thai law.
The good thing about that argument: nobody who has anything to say in this world is ever going to take it seriously. Not only does it miss the point of the argument that it pretends to reply to, it also lacks common-sense and good judgement.

Well done, sir. This is why nobody takes libertarians serious.

According to CloudFare... Can't seem to find exactly where they say this. Their platforms on which to say things seem to be dropping like flies here.

Not saying they didn't claim that, but that's one of the problems with taking away someone's speech entirely - your only "source" for knowing what they have actually said is the claims of the people who just shut them down.
Germany arrested chinese tourists for making nazi salute. Should we do something about germany too?

Do chinese and germans deserve free speech too or just thais?

Edit: @0xfeba

> That argument is convincing only on the shallowest level.

Only if you are pro-censorship and have no appreciation for principles.

> Germany arrested, fined, and released those tourists.

Are you saying it's good or bad?

> Thailand has given dissidents lengthy prison sentences.

But that's the law.

> How about we worry about Germany's speech laws after we free people who are stuck in retched prisons for 10 years?

How about we worry about both? How about we worry about free speech and principles.

Talk about shallowness. The german law allows for imprisonment for 3 years for nazi salutes. If the chinese got 3 years and the thai got 3 years, would you think both are equally wrong?

You don't seem to have an argument so you are just nitpicking. I don't remember you being outraged that the chinese tourists were arrested. I remember you celebrating german law.

You are right, but the result of all apps (plus adverts) taken together is a very sluggish system.

I think what operating systems should do is to allow users set per app/website quotas and use sensible defaults.

Developers should get the message that no we can't use all the resources available on a given system just for our particular app.

Do you mean the act that, according to the same source, "no administration has tried to enforce" and whenever states have attempted to do similar things, the restriction has been found unconstitutional (e.g. Blawis v. Bolin)?

The USA legislation has a bunch of things "on the books" in their legislation that haven't been repealed since noone wants to touch them (e.g. sodomy laws), but aren't law in any practical sense since they aren't and cannot be enforced.

Despite the things you quote, the Communist party of USA does exist, can participate in elections and has done so. Of course, almost noone votes for them, but that's their own fault.

Many of the proposals and discussions in this thread are very similar to McCarthyism. Just as it was back then, despite people wanting to do so, the key acts and limitations of McCarthyism are fundamentally incompatible with Constitution of USA; just as it was (found to be) wrong and overstepping authority regarding communism back then (even if it took a bunch of years for the courts to override all the activism of the government), it's the same thing for any other radical ideologies now.
I read that as "downfall of scientific publishers [who are causing this kind of trouble]".

Still, would it be so bad?

The original purpose for html and www was to improve sharing of science papers.
I can pretty easily imagine what the world would have to look like for all science papers to be self published and shared globally.

One possible alternative that seems easily viable would be to replace the network of independent publishers with a MediaWiki site that only allows posts from scientists. That could possibly also have a bot running around marking all articles with a peer review status. Talk pages would also make a great place to conduct such peer reviews.
I agree with you that Erlang is not at the peak of inflated expectations. The community seems to have hit a steady state where it is probably closer to the plateau of productivity. Elixir newcomers, however, often don't have experience with Erlang, so the expectations might be all over the place. Hopefully, since Elixir is built on top of a proven system, it should weather through the trough just fine.

Having a "dead weight" has it's advantages - passive, no bacteria, mold, flex, resistant to shock etc. Pretty sure billion dollar companies like Siemens have thought this through and came to the conclusion that concrete is best. The negative externality of a disappointed customer seems to be larger (medium term) than the damage being done by producing the concrete.
This is where the slippery slope leads us when we create vague terms like "hate"-speech which then criminalize.

The US is obviously nowhere Thailand, but just questioning the concept of and (lacking) principles around "hate"-speech is enough for some people to consider you a possible sexist, racist, troll... Or just a general "hater".

You know, someone who should be banned because they're obviously up to no good.
