Although I read what you wrote and to a large extent agree, I have to say, love the name: RothbardRand (Murry Rothbard was a major figure in Austrian School of economics and modern libertarianism. Ayn Rand a philosopher, and developer of the philosophical framework of Objectivism)

Makes sense why you feel this way.

What I will say, is no one stopped you from investing in Uber, besides Uber. Tomorrow I can go out and sell half my C-Corp to a friend. Legally, no one is stopping me, besides me and my contract(s). My company isn't publically traded, and as such, I haven't released shares to be bought and sold.

That being said, if you're talking about "accredition" - that shouldn't stop you from being able to invest in a friend's or aquantences company. At least until you have 35 of said people..

Which I agree is B.S., at the same time - it's just a way to ensure you don't get massive companies like Uber getting billions of funding and providing no services. It's an attempt at curbing a dot-com-esqu bubble. Overall, I do think this is government over reach, but I do see the point.

There are ways around that FYI, for example there isn't a reason a financial advisor couldn't invest on your behalf.
This appears to be the source: https://source.android.com/devices/architecture/kernel/modul...

Device tree is mandatory and vendors are encouraged to upstream the code. It sounds like Google has an eventual goal of building a single kernel that can boot on most devices which is a great thing for everyone.
Hah! You're kidding, right? Custom styling or "skins" has been one of the main drivers of app development since the beginnings of time. I feel that we, puritans, should just give up and accept what the masses want.
Both are basic front end frameworks. Polymer just happens to use a minor spec to encapsulate and expose, the smallest part of what it actually does.

Polymer of all the frameworks i've had to use has had the most breaking changes. That they're turning the ship for each and every major forcing you to rewrite the entire application is kind of ironic given that their motto is "use the platform" as if suggesting stability and standard behavior.

Polymer is not the standard, just another arbitrary driver (as in: their own syntax, their own structures, their own api) for a pretty harmless spec that sets out to solve issues we haven't faced for at least 5 years.
sorry, I should have phrased it better, I don't mean that hunting is declining because of moral reasons, I mean that as it declines and people grow more detached from it it will be considered more morally reprehensible.

It is obviously an opinion not a fact, but as an example, you can consider the attitude of people to eating animals that they ate in the past and not now (porcupine, turtle, cat, dog).

Not only it's considered disgusting, but it's often considered worse than eating other animals.

Technically, from what we know ME firmware is flashable and possible to update except baked in private keys to verify signature.

Of course, it is still a single point of failure, would be much nicer if Intel provided documentation on chipset and CPU init as well as a way to replace those keys. (Say, hardware switch to enable write pin on some EEPROM.)

The big trouble is the huge attack surface of the vPro not running in magic unsupported "trusted mode" while not being properly audited is trouble.

Likewise blobs like SINIT used for TPM and SecureBoot initialization.
To be honest what they did with early versions of Windows Phones was pure genius. If I miss anything now that I use iOS, is the UX that Metro design provided. What made the UX shitty was when they decided to follow Android and iOS path, with hamburger buttons, buttons at the top, lower contrast... They stopped following their core UX ideas to comfort the users of other OSes.

Regarding PC market. I assume Windows 8/10 could be good, but we were too used to existing workflow, so it felt really weird when it came out. They should gradually introduce what Windows 10 offers today.

I agree Flat UI can be terrible if not done right, but so can be every other design.
"Could you possibly..." or "Is there any way..." is precisely the right phrasing. And again, the tone used makes or breaks the deal. Furthermore, explicitly quoting the online price is the wrong approach. Ask if there's any way to get $X (online price minus $20-30/night), without explicitly mentioning that you're comparing to the online price. Don't shove the online price in their face (ie: demanding they meet or beat, which is aggressive posturing). Only refer explicitly to the online price if you can't seem to charm them without doing so.

The long and short of it: you're trying to win over another human being to be on your side. You don't demand that a company or "lowly employee" meet your expectations. Tact for the win!
Tools drive the way we use them. If most people using Jira ends up with a process that sucks and most people using Trello don't, maybe it really is the tool that's making the difference.

(Jira sucks because it's anti-employee-empowerment by design; everything is oriented around mandatory fields, mandatory workflows, and requiring approvals. In theory a good manager should work around this, but defaults are important. I fear the same thing happening to Trello)
One of my long-time project ideas is a BASIC interpreter (Commodore-style) for the ESP8266 or one of the more powerful Arduinos, with statements to control GPIO pins or I2C devices and a web-based REPL. It would be great for teaching.

Github issues hit the sweet spot for us between trello and Jira.

Although then we got 6 projects all related to one code base and switched to a homegrown system.

Our main win was making sure each engineer worked on the fewest number of projects. Letting people focus improved development speed and reduced confusion.

It boils down if you are willing to accept that stupid people are going to pay for their stupidity (on very real and life-altering consequences) or if they should be shielded from it.

Personally I belong to the side where I'm willing to give up some personal freedoms for a better collective life, that includes saving very stupid people from very stupid decisions that might affect the rest of their lives (and their families').

"Jira sucks" is not a useful thing to say.

Yeah, Jira's default workflow isn't awesome. Yeah, it's a giant pain to configure an alternative workflow; and the learning curve to do so is ridiculously steep. Yeah, some BigCorps have configured painfully bureaucratic workflows in it.

But you can also configure it with a very Trello-like workflow.

Why would you use Jira with a Trello-like workflow instead of just using Trello?

Well, for one thing, you get additional features even just on the Kanban board - such as swimlanes.

But the most important reason is that with Jira you get a true database of your issues. One that you can query with a SQL-like language. And one that allows you to present multiple different views of the same data.

For instance, we have a main kanban board for one project. We have a main board for another. We have a kanban board that contains some issues from each specifically for our DevOps person; and another specifically for our QA person. The QA person's board contains three columns that correspond to a single column in the developer's board.

I can create an "epic" that contains multiple tickets (not subtasks or checklist items) that can each progress through the workflow and be deployed independently but still be grouped together under a single parent epic.

And if I want to pull up a list of all Foo component tickets that were filed by Bob before June, implemented by Alice, QAed by Carol, and were released in July - and then open each one in a tab - that's incredibly easy.
> Well duh, but those policies only exist because YT is trying to sell those features.

See, I could get behind this argument if I could actually buy those features - but because I'm not in the US, I can't. YouTube Red has looked like the same speck on the horizon as it has for the past 3 years in the UK now, and as far as I know, absolutely nothing has been said about when it'll arrive here.

I would like nothing more than to pay for this functionality, after being given a trial of YouTube Music Key (back before it was called Red) well over 3 years ago at this point, I want reasonably priced access to Red original content, I want background and audio-only play on my phone. Hell, I might even use the download video feature, who knows? Well it's sure as hell not me, because I don't even have access to it.

This is incorrect. Some unaccredited investments are allowed, and above certain thresholds it just triggers onerous reporting requirements. It is not illegal to make unaccredited investments. It is illegal to market/promote to unaccredited investors however.
I said "look more like". I even listed the things I thought were similar.

Automatic enrollment is rather obviously going to be more effective than a tax penalty, but the tax penalty is at least a mechanism designed to increase subscription.

There are a bunch of bad compromises in the ACA, but the comment I replied to was mystified that the US apparently isn't even trying things that have worked elsewhere, which is just wrong.
Absolutely. Both privilege and oppression are real and worth understanding, and at an academic level, intersectional feminism has done a lot of good work in this regard.

Recognising that structures of oppression with regards to race, gender, sexuality, etc. are not totally uncorrelated, but have commonalities that are worth identifying and studying in their own right, is a significant innovation of intersectional feminism, and I respect it.

Similarly, the concept of "privilege" is very worth unpacking. To those who can think of themselves as "just a person" living on some kind of neutral substrate, that feels like the most ordinary and natural thing in the world -- but it's a huge privilege. If you're a woman, this fact is continually thrown in your face, in a way that distinctly qualifies and limits your "personhood". If you're a gay black woman, then the qualifications and limitations genuinely get multiplied. I think it's important to unpack and understand this, and I welcome philosophies that aid in doing so.

(As an aside, I don't consider this kind of cultural analysis is at odds with rationality, until it crosses the threshold of insisting that it is describing the whole of reality in a totalising way, at which point it does start having genuine philosophical problems.)

The problem is that the populist expression of this pretty much boils down to "you have privilege, so shut up", which A.) is illiterate, because "privilege" is neither a personal nor even a cultural failing -- it's the lack of privilege that's a problem, and B.) utterly inimical to fostering any kind of understanding.

Anyhow, I suppose this is no different from what happens when any other nuanced philosophy gets used as a tool in populist conflicts. I have huge respect Buddhism as a philosophy, but it is nonetheless being used as a justification for persecution and genocide in Burma. Here or there, I think it's important to not let enlightened ideas be used as an excuse for being a jerk. (Nor to let jerks discredit enlightened ideas, although on the whole I'm less concerned about this).
If you call web browser vendors mutinying against the W3C who was pushing XHTML 2 down their throats "politics", which lead to Apple, Mozilla and Opera creating the Web Hypertext Application Technology Working Group (WHATWG) and to HTML5--then I'm okay with the politics.

Yeah, I could close my tags and validate my code with the best of them back when XHTML was a thing--but that's no way to live. I'm glad WHATWG stepped in and literally saved the web from itself. OMG! XHTML 2 would have sucked so much!

They are not compatible - Peterson's argument is not that neomarxism and postmodernism are natural bedfellows, but that people espousing postmodernist positions nearly always reveal a belief structure based in neomarxism when challenged by an intellectual equal.

His evidence is presumably his own conversations with postmodernists, and his theory as to why this is seems based more in a psychological than philosophical framework.
There are definitely ways in which JIRA sucks: it's hard to configure and requires someone with special skills, knowledge, and enthusiasm (!) in order to get it right; it definitely could and should be a lot faster; navigating around it is fairly bamboozling for the inexperienced; and certainly other things besides. But, with all those caveats noted, is there actually another product on the market that does as much and is any better to use?
Not that I'm aware of. Most Jira shops I've worked in have disabled that field entirely.
> With vanilla APIs the code is a bit more verbose and repetitive

Exactly. Just the code for syncing attributes and properties is enough to never ever use vanilla JS for WCs
> If you were to tell any of your progressive friends about Reg-D, but framed it as written by "the 1%" - they'll naturally think the law is unjust and shouldn't exist.

I agree that there is a lot of collectivism in politics, and that "the 1%" rallying cries are mostly a way of controlling a group of people into opposing things they are uninformed about. So discussing anything as being written by "the 1%" is never going to lead to useful discourse. But I don't see why any of that matters.

Also "any of [my] progressive friends"? I don't understand why you're being hostile. I don't really associate with people based on their politics, it makes it too easy to have an echo chamber (or a shouting match). Not to mention that wasn't the point of my comment, it was to ask GGP to expand on their views.

> I think this has less to do with political flavor and more to do with critical thinking skills.

Then why mention (what you assume are) my politics at all?

> Unless Reg-D also bans gambling at Vegas and throwing your money down a well - then it comes up short of it's protectionist goals.

I think gambling should be better regulated, and I think that defrauding people to "throw money down a well" shouldn't be legal. I don't care if you, of your own volition, decide to throw your money down a well (though it actually does cost your country money to re-print said currency). What I do care about is someone trying to defraud you. But this is a complete straw-man, securities laws are about fraud not about being stupid with your money.

I'm not authoritarian, but pretending like regulation over speculative investments are not going to help any unexperienced investors is just ridiculous.
No, because his "terrible-ness" has to do with priorities. A scientist's priority is usually to make a fast prototype or model of her theory. I see it at least in my own field (biomedicine).

IF you need a real software developer for some extended work, you hire one. But to call scientists lousy programmers is like calling every driver on this earth lousy driver (in respect to Formula 1 drivers, for example).
I addressed parent's comment (parallel your own) and your concerns, but you beat me to submitting.
> Generally, if I look at the last month or year or decade, I'm impressed with what I've accomplished.

This is important for measuring personal progress. I like to think about it like a stock chart. Would I ever measure a company's performance just by looking at the 1 day or 5 day view? Nope. I need a bigger picture to get a better idea of the overall trend. I think measuring yourself on areas of improvement is no different. Some days will be great and some won't. But how are you trending across months/years? Apply to learning art, exercising, etc.
The vast majority of what you mention is wrong for me, and I'm not remotely of the paygrade of someone like Elon Musk.

If you think Elon Musk spends 2-3 hours per day on eating, then I'm not sure what I can say further.
Peterson is apparently getting his definition of Postmodernism from a book he occasionally advertises for ("Postmodernism Explained"), by another Canadian professor, and which has virtually no standing: it is not peer reviewed, and is in fact self-published.

Its thesis is apparently that secret Marxists propped up post-structuralism/postmodernism because they knew communism had failed (in the 1960s? Yeah. Right.) and needed their ideology to be furthered via a new channel. Or something.

The author also has a hard-on for Ayn Rand, which coming from a philosophy professor I find funny.

It's odd that Peterson is very specific in some parts of his discourse, but has such lackluster premises. If I wanted to convince the world that postmodernism was bad, I would point people to a more established work. It's not like criticisms of postmodernism are rare, no?
Definitely believe Apple had been exploring sensor driven UI effects if you follow the signs like this patent [0]. Wouldn't have been shocked if they'd had a prototype with the whole UI doing it around iOS 4/5. But only the Music.app volume knob part shipped (iOS 4 IIRC the brushed metal on the knob had a tilt based lighting effect).

Could someone explain to a foreigner why is there so much damage in US areas regularly hit by hurricanes?

Would making the river infrastructure hurricane proof be cost ineffective? Or is it a problem of lack of investment in such infrastructure? I mean, we always hear about some breached levees so I suppose some infrastructure is in place but seems not to be up for the job. Would it be possible and cost effective to make all city like Huston hurricane proof?

> Retrofitting modern (past century technology) transport systems onto cities that are a ~ 1,000 years old is things that many cities have managed to do. Almost any capital city in Europe would make a good example.

These cities have always been pretty dense. Density around transit stop is the critical dimension of successful transit systems. Building infrastructure is a pretty trivial problem in comparison of changing the density distribution of a whole metropolitan area.

It can be done, however, with enough political clout. Many American cities have a big advantage: large straight streets. Car lanes can be converted to transit lanes for cheap, but it's politically very hard to do.

In terms of scope OpenJDK would be comparable to Mozilla's mission. So even if Mozilla didn't grow to take it on, a similar sized org could. The point being open source specific Mozilla pattern orgs rather than private corps.
> Not true at all, the BeOS ui locked up plenty when using any real apps that is. GoBE office suite would slow BeOS and its ui to a crawl, Mozilla would too, a few IDEs that were around did too.

That certainly doesn't match my experience: some apps like Mozilla could block their own window contents (but not window manager operations like moving or resizing) but the overall UI never blocked for anything except a video driver crash – and then only for a couple seconds as the kernel restarted that process.

As an example, on a dual P-90 I could simultaneously stream video to disk from a FireWire camcorder (which was actually a real-time challenge on that minimally-buffered hardware which Win98 & OS/2 couldn't meet except with a completely idle system), compile Mozilla (which, IIRC, took about an hour), and not even notice the impact on my email and web browsing activity. Aggregate disk transfer performance would be slower but a good real-time scheduler meant that you didn't have huge lags while reading every small file.

Windows and macOS still fail that test unless run with SSDs, and then only when e.g. Windows Update or the Xcode updates aren't running in the background.
