Because that makes it easy for them. If you only have to support one configuration, it lowers the work you have to do considerably.

Fortunately, there are still alternatives to Gnome, so we don't need to be held hostage by their preferences.
I think the list pretty skewers many of the contradictions in the SJW perspective. You have refused to answer them - are you scared of doing so?

I was subjected to this indoctrination during my undergraduate degree. It can take some time to step back and properly question rather than just accepting the spoon-feeding. There was a very definite message sent that as a white man (of 18 years old!) I bore responsibility, in some way, for the oppression of women over millennia, for the horrors of colonialism, for racism, for homophobia, for God knows whatever else. I believe that everyone should have the right to pursue their ambitions without hindrance, and I treat people with respect based on their actions, not what boxes they tick. Why am I apparently the enemy in this current culture war? Why is the supposedly tolerant left so utterly intolerant of dissenting voices?

Any electric motor can be ran as a generator, which can be used to do electronic braking. It is the foundation for regenerative braking on electric cars and often used on big trailer trucks as the primary braking system.

Because of the per-minute billing nature of Car2Go (as opposed to Avis which is per-hour billing) as well as the convenience of these cars being within walking distance at any point and can be left anywhere within the service area, it is a direct competitor to one-way travel services like taxis. If I'm choosing to use Car2Go instead of a taxi service to drive my fiancé and I to the ferry on a weekly basis or to drive us home from downtown Vancouver after shopping, or I'm driving myself to the airport, then it's a direct competitor with taxis. Keep in mind that in all these use cases, Car2Go and other car sharing services are significantly cheaper than equivalent taxi rides.

There are enough cars in Vancouver that you'll find one within a few blocks 90% of the time, so the argument of "not bringing a car with a driver" is moot unless you don't know how to drive. There's also no surge pricing. It's always the same flat rate.

when you are faced with between rendering hundreds of thousands of SVG DOM element vs in memory generation of a final raster image, the latter will always be more performant.
So AMP is not even faster than other mobile pages without the google CDN? A pity so many prefer something like AMP to generally stripping down their sites. Get rid of JS unless absolutely necessary, compress/remove images, remove all this ad and bloat, and your page, whatever category it fits in, will load blazyingly fast. What happened to good old sole HTML and CSS, served statically or server-generated for lightning speed?
Technically, it is not "free two-day shipping" at Amazon. First, you pay $100/yr to get it for most items if you are a Prime member. Otherwise, like many online retailers, you get free shipping (not sure if it's two-day) only if you reach a certain dollar threshold.

So, yes, "it costs too much" is the obvious answer, but it is true. Unless the recipient is in the same "zone" as the shipper, the cost of next-day air shipping is likely still anywhere between $20 and $50 (dependent on many factors), which is heavily discounted from retail rates. That would cut into margins quite a bit.

One level of critical thought too far, apparently.
If TCP/IP would have been able to capture a billionth of a cent for every request

Cryptocurrencies haven't been able to do micropayments, this kind of system just isn't possible. Proponents will go on about payment channels such as lightning, but these have been 'just around the corner' for several years now and their effectiveness/practicality is highly debatable.
I still wouldn't classify the nightlife as great. There is a lot for the college scene but Rochester is really missing that in between stage. I'd say even Buffalo's nightlife is better. And it helps that stuff is open til 4 there.

Side note Rochester is the same day over and over. And that day is cold, dreary and probably snowing. The 4-5 months of Spring/Summer/Fall though is amazing though.
K, fine, we'll play the whataboutism game. Chomsky is not a communist, he's more a socialist, and he has, in fact, spoken out against the Soviet Union and Soviet communism. Since he's not advocating for racial and ethnic cleansing and oppression, he's not quite the same as the neo-Nazis.
This is really nice. Thanks for your work.

This is a little bit "late". Fastmail has supported Bitcoin payment for a very long time. In fact, I was surprised last year when I wanted to try proton mail and they didn't have Bitcoin payments.
That's not quite right. The argument about widening highways leading to more traffic is called "induced demand" and is an accepted concept in traffic engineering and city planning; when you make driving easier or cheaper, people will do more of it because they can. The same person with the same car will use it more of the time, because why not?

That's not quite how housing works. Yes, I suppose there's a broad supply-demand dynamic inasmuch as areas with more affordable house prices tend to see bigger houses and land parcels bought, but still, people don't just use more units of housing stock in response to a slightly less onerous housing crunch. If housing in the SF Bay area suddenly became more attainable, I wouldn't buy 3 apartments just 'cause.
Only free if you pay for Prime. And it likely means it is in a nearby warehouse to you.
I've interviewed with "tech" companies in some of the cities you mentioned. The compensation was substantially lower than anything I can get in the Bay Area (by about a factor of 2 compared to my current compensation, for example). The CoL adjustment wouldn't be greater than the reduced savings rate.

These companies need to realize that the market rate for the kinds of engineering and talent they demand is set in the bigger cities, not their little slice of the Midwest. I understand why they're doing it, but for all the issues in the Bay Area the opportunities are still better than almost anywhere else and so is the pay.
The Tweet: "No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin or his background or his religion."

Okay, but infants don't have the capacity to judge religion, or a person's background, but full points for the warm and fuzzy good will.

Feel good tweets aside, what bothers me is when a child is "born a Muslim" or "born a Christian, or other religion". It's my opinion that forcing children into a religion from age zero, weaving the religion into the very fabric of the child's upbringing and family life; dressing them differently so they're divided from their non-religious peers, is unreasonable parenting. At worst, psychological manipulation.
Is Keybase resilient against the country's government in which it resides? How does it achieve this with a traditional database?
Nope, because using MySQL instead of Postgres essentially cripples your dev tools once you know about everything PG opens up for you.

1. You've always been able to crowdsource if you want to go through legal hoops.

2. I'm not sure how you can say Filecoin's token is tracking the non-existent network. Even Ethereum is a bad example. All the Enterprise Ether announcements will use a private implementation of Ethereum. So how is that value accruing in ETH, other than people getting confused by misleading PR and thinking banks are actually going to be transacting on the public Ethereum chain so they should buy ETH?

3. What do you mean if "TCP/IP" would capture money for every request? Why not UTF-8 or ASCII capturing value for every character written? InternetBugBounty seems like a very bad example. Their examples of "The Internet" bugs are issues in Bash, TLS, and ImageMagick -- all very much not TCP/IP. That's like saying BTC's market cap should have prevented Ethereum's DAO bug.

Not trying to be mean, I just don't see how this makes any sense.

That's cynical. If someone spent their time making quality things people enjoy, they can charge whatever currency they'd like. If that currency is an email address so that you can be contacted later in hopes of selling you paid products or earning through referrals, then that's their prerogative. It doesn't make them a _lying piece of crap_.

If you use a catchall, create an address for that service. It it does something you don't like, cancel later.
He also filibustered the 1964 Civil Rights Act. But he outlasted his "Dixiecrat" origins and repeatedly expressed regret and apologized for his past views. Still, he was never a very progressive party member and not really representative of the party overall.

Other Dixiecrats, like Strom Thurmond, switched to the Republican party when the found the Democratic party no longer in line with their racist views.
I'm not convinced it's that obvious.

Making something free for some, but not others could stir up resentment ("why should I pay for your use of the library?"), which would make it easier to cut funding in the future. This could lead to a spiral of increasing fees (or decreased service) -> smaller constituency -> less funding.

I'm also not sure that the marginal user costs a library very much. I doubt that a library with twice as many potential patrons needs twice as many books or two times the staff, for example.

"There is no scientific consensus that toy preferences are linked to prenatal testosterone or career choice"

This is weasel wording for "there are no difference". But just in case, let me ask flat out - do you think there are any differences between men and women in what sort of activities and/or behaviour they prefer to do, take part in or be around? If so, would it not be reasonable to assume that this would result in different preferences in job choice?

"Everything about humans involves both nature and nurture"

Well yeah that was obvious I thought, but at least we agree on this. So then, if preferences and behaviour are at least partially explained by biology, does it then not follow that men and women would have different preferences? Otherwise, to reach parity, the 'nurture' part should cancel out the nature part.

Again, I'm not going to be lured into saying something specific about software, but wouldn't it follow naturally from what you said (which is the uncontested scientific consensus) that women would, in the aggregate, prefer some other professions than men do, in the aggregate? Furthermore, even if you for some reason say no, do you find it offensive when people say so? Or do you feel that how people answer reflects on them as a person? Because to me, it's like liking hot dogs or not - something that does absolutely nothing to the way I think about someone. Whereas I get the impression that simple, factual things like this is really an identity thing for some - which I just cannot wrap my head around.

I'll have to disagree with your assessment. The reason we have freedom of speech in the United States is to prevent the government from silencing critics. The Founder's most definitely did not have the Nazi. Much of your argument resembles the same one used by critics of gun control, which is essentially that banning guns won't stop criminals from getting guns. I understand the sentiment, but I also think a society needs to draw lines around what it will tolerate and what it won't. Nazism and the Confederacy were harmful mindsets that killed people and tore apart nations. The only way to kill it is by education, but that doesn't mean we should let it fester.
At this point most people pay for Data and not Talk time on cellphones
I love this idea! I've always wanted the option to pick up some extra shifts during my free time, but have always had difficulty finding a place without committing long-term.
Man I'm so confused here. Questions are good! Even if alexrohde is trying to bait you, you have an opportunity to lay out arguments.

I'm a libertarian and I love it when people ask me questions, even if they're trying to bait me. I've got a consistent ideology and someone asking me questions doesn't threaten it.

I think alexrohde is a systems kind of thinker, and he's trying to understand the values and ideology that social justice lives by, because it feels inconsistent to him. But again, maybe I'm being too generous.

The post also reminds me Double-Cruxing: http://lesswrong.com/lw/o6p/double_crux_a_strategy_for_resol... but.. granted, it's one sided.
Yes UK is in Europe and I think will be for the next few million years - oh you meant the Political body - the European Union. Oh yes we're still in that and will be for a few years at least.

As to the landline number, you can keep your landline number if you don't move into an area where the phone numbers 'region' code is not applicable.

Just like I am sure that is the case for every other country in the world (or thereabouts).

I am curious to know with regard to USA phone numbers where I cannot tell a mobile from a landline by just looking at the number (e.g, UK Mobile numbers can be identified because they are 07xxx numbers) but US mobile numbers look like landlines and have the same area code.

Can you move to a different state and keep your number even if the area code for that state is completely different?
What is the difference between a data set and a raw sensory data stream? More specifically, isn't a raw sensory data stream just a data set? I think you are getting hung up on semantics.

Or is it just the time correlation that interests you? Because some of these data sets are very likely to indeed be time correlated. Like a video/audio data set for example.
Uber’s head of developer product leaves citing Kalanick’s ouster
IDK, I would not, personally, consider my town in any way suburban. It's European "founding" predates the American revolution and the vast majority of the construction in the town center is pre war and it's nowhere near any major or even minor urban area.

My opinion on suburbia that I stated was based on what would be "suburban town" moreso than a "suburban bedroom community." I've never lived in the latter.

I know it's just my opinion though, I know some people like suburbia but smallish towns like mine are better at providing greenery, nature, and a low cost of living plus a pleasant environment. To me suburbs are the opposite of that. (Getting to the airport is a giant pain in the ass though...)

Pretty much the first thing I did when I moved here was take a walk!

Good deal for a small site, but if you have traffic, it gets expensive fast. $.25/GB bandwidth vs $.085/GB from Cloudfront va $.06 at a budget CDN.
I wonder if it's a regional thing. My experience is US West Coast. The dryer is a source of waste heat, which out here is usually undesirable, so it makes more sense to put it in an extremity of the house where the heat can easily escape. I could imagine that other areas of the country might be more likely to view extra heat as a good thing.

> are surrounded by communities that like their low density housing

This is changing; Facebook is sponsoring 1500 units, 300 affordable, in Menlo Park, Mountain View also becoming more welcoming of new housing, they recently approved 10,000 units in the North Bayshore area. Cupertino (where Apple is located) continues to distinguish itself in a bad way; they approved 11,000 new office spaces for Apple without any corresponding increase in housing, and routinely send people to San Jose city council meetings in an attempt to block housing on San Jose land.

> The best solution, IMHO, is to improve public transit

Again, there are promising developments here. Facebook sponsored a Dumbarton Corridor study, and all of the tech companies are throwing their money behind a new bridge tax ballot measure that would raise money for public transit. http://www.greencaltrain.com/2017/08/dumbarton-corridor-stud...

They lay it out in English before laying out the legalese here:

http://www.nomorobo.com/pages/privacy

Some highlights from the legalese:

> 1.2 Data Privacy. You understand and agree that some of your call information (including, but not limited to, a log of all phone calls made to your subscribed phone line(s) and any requested additions to any customizable phone number blacklist or white list) may be viewable by you, the Company, and by any other person having a phone line subscribed to the Nomorobo Service through the same user account as you.

I don't know that that is actually possible on iOS, though, as iOS doesn't give the call log to the blacklist provider.

>1.3 Contact. From time to time, the Company may need to send e-mails, in-app messages, and/or push notifications to you and automated voice calls and/or text messages to all phone lines that are subscribed to or otherwise using the Nomorobo Service.

Could be innocuous now and be much more annoying later if they decide to change their business model.

>Binding Arbitration. If the parties to the Agreements do not reach a solution through the informal resolution process described in Paragraph 6.3(ii), then any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to the Agreements, shall be settled by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (the "AAA") in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof or having jurisdiction over the relevant party or its assets.

Must go to arbitration if anything goes wrong and you want to sue.

Overall, not the worst I've seen. There was another one that you had to grant permission to post to your Facebook wall and/or Twitter account. I don't recall which one it was, though.

Haiti was pretty intense from what I'd read about it. One of those things that was a big enough deal that people talked about it for decades afterward.

I always understood it to be a big reason why John Brown is even a known figure from the US Civil War because he essentially lit a match on a lot of latent fear.
But there's dismerit in monocultures - maybe those F# folks are pleased to be avoiding that.

Plus, if you're situated in a historical process (like we all are) then arbitrary things become important. Accidental weaknesses such as being perched on the CLR and tethered to the hopes, dreams and capabilities of common-garden C# enterprise developers invert strangely into advantages - in the case of F#, it makes for a very friendly, welcoming ecosystem.
