yeah, it's hard to tell what people mean when they say "smaller government". In today's climate, that's come to mean the extreme "make it so small you can drown it in the tub" version of small.
> Postmodern thinkers are not preventing anyone from speaking, are they? You don't have to like Derrida today, and it's perfectly fine to disagree with Deleuze, Guattari or Fanon...

Depends on who you include under the definition of "postmodern thinkers". I don't hear a whole lot of noise coming from Academic Philosophers per se, but the intellectual heirs of the postmodernists as expressed in the social sciences and various intersectional "studies" programs certainly seem to make a big deal of deplatforming people these days.

> This sounds to me that Peterson is pissed because people in humanities tend to oppose capitalism.

No. he tells you why he is mad, why invent reasons?

He is mad because of the lack of gratitude at the improvements in absolute standard of living (even though he admits that relative inequality is a problem). As a clinical counselor for many years he has seen the harms caused by persistent resentment.

He is mad because his colleagues in the humanities and social sciences have, in recent decades, consistently opposed the free exchange of ideas on college campuses. He is far from the only academic to voice such concerns[0].

He is mad because of the dearth of good scholarship in the humanities and social sciences.

It's not going to be unusual with the interest rates that students on the current generation of loans are now being charged. In fact, those might well be the most expensive debts a new graduate has. The whole thing about writing off part of the loan after several decades is mostly just smoke and mirrors; many people in graduate roles won't save much if anything that way, but they'll be paying lots of extra money that looks a lot like an extra 9% of marginal income tax except that somehow it mysteriously winds up belonging to a private company these days.

I'm genuinely surprised that high street banks haven't started openly competing with the official student loans already, at least not as far as I've seen. The terms are so abusive for new students today that the banks could easily offer private student loans on significantly better terms for the students and still make a fortune themselves. Maybe they're just assuming -- not unreasonably -- that the whole student funding mess is going to blow up spectacularly within the next few years and they don't want to be caught in the blast when it happens.
I'm not sure if Fuchsia will replace Android, but I would bet that the Fuchsia microkernel, Magenta, will eventually replace Linux as the kernel used by Android.

As for Fuchsia, it seems to be coming along quite nicely. Here's a short demo of the GUI that was uploaded to YouTube:

Initially (v < 3), all data fields in sqlite were text internally - type information was accepted for SQL compatibility, but ignored. This is actually an improvement.

I'm not sure of the rationale; perhaps it's easier to keep the code / database files portable amongst different systems this way, and since it was designed for embedded use, many systems (and thus incompatibilites) were envisioned?
Of course, if we just wait long enough, the coasts will move inland, making then problem conveniently easier.
Last time I looked at gluu it seemed massive, requiring a beefy server dedicated to running it. It came with an ldap server etc, meaning I seemingly couldn't us my own. I'll have to revisit, but last I checked its way too much.

All I need is an openid server.
> Skeuomorphism ceases to be useful once people don't remember the physical thing you're trying to use

The idea is interesting but it's disconnected from reality.

Change in the physical world is very slow, bet young people will still know what a watch or any everyday life item is in ten years (way more than the average software life). I understand that some people would find an UI for a music player with some photorealistic speaker or a fully wooden bookshelf library ugly but don't tell me people (old and young) don't know what it is. Or more far fetched I could still understand medieval fort icon on a firewall. I admit some are already forgotten like the floppy disk but they are an exception.

While decommissioning is indeed expensive and as far as I'm aware still mostly based on estimates since there's little experience with the full process, I don't think this statement is correct.

What's really, really expensive is building the plant in such a manner that it is both secure and maintainable.

The problem with securing it is that a critical event is so damn expensive (cf. Fukushima) that you need to secure it against all imaginable problems - and as you can imagine, that list is growing over time. And still, you can't buy insurance for a plant. So the government carries the bulk of the risk.
It includes an LDAP server to persist all the data generated by the service.

You can integrate your own backend LDAP server using the cache refresh feature: https://gluu.org/docs/ce/admin-guide/user-management/#ldap-s...

It is pretty beefy though, built for enterprise use cases.

What are some good readings / places to start on this topic?
Not to pick on you particularly (this is just where I got to in the comments) but who _would_ you recommend instead for others trying to avoid this?

This is the problem. There are nightmare stories about basically every major bank and financial service, and while there are two sides to every story, a lot of them certainly look like well justified complaints about wildly inappropriate treatment.

If someone was doing much better, we'd all be using them already. For now, I can only agree with the general advice many are giving: diversify, so you never have personal and business with the same organisation, never have all your essential accounts and cards with the same organisation, and so on.
Thanks for bringing this perspective in here. I have a complex-numbers project that I'm sure could profit from a chat with someone with your background: http://wry.me/m/ -- though it at least currently sucks, and I just want to make a fun and interesting toy (hard enough), not deal with the education system. Ping me if you feel like it?

This is relevant in that I have it in mind to eventually tackle trig-type problems in that program.

The big benefit (once Firefox and EDGE support them) is in not needing to download 132K of Javascript for basic platform functionality.

It's much like JQuery. It was very much necessary when it came out in 2006. But then browsers got querySelectorAll, classList, uniform event handling, uniform dimensions, fetch, animations, transitions, data-attributes, and basically all the other functionality in JQuery.

The JQuery API is still more convenient in many cases, and several loyalists are still like "You'll pry JQuery out of my cold, dead fingers." But they build worse sites - for the same functionality, their sites are slower, take longer to load, and have more things that can go wrong. The market usually flushes such loyalists out eventually, and we may see a similar situation with React/Vue/Angular when components are standardized across browsers.

> Try getting any moderately complicated software to work on more than one distribution at once.

Anyone concerned with ease of use wouldn't be doing this in the first place - and at the same time, people can Ubuntu and get a full environment for internet, media, etc. pretty much out of the box, with most other 'incompatibility' issues having to do with poor vendor support and having nothing to do with the system itself being hard to use..

I'm in agreement with the parent here - just because being a F1 car mechanic is difficult doesn't mean changing the oil in a Honda requires an expert and is difficult.. different actual tasks being performed...
It's not the website's job to host Facebook-exclusive functionality.

By all means have the basic FB share link, as found on every Youtube video, along with other social media services. But the actual Facebook widget is not what should be installed on websites, and FB should kill it dead.

Sounds like you need a browser extension to handle "liking" the current page you're on. Not all websites have the Like button, so it makes no sense to assume a website Like button is "plan A" in any social traffic strategy.

Further more, websites have many pages. It's impractical to install a Like button for every discrete piece of content everywhere on the site, and everywhere on the Internet.

Facebook Like buttons DO NOT belong on every web page of every site on the Internet, and the widget should go the way of Flash. (I'd sooner keep Flash than FB javascript).

There was an interesting City Journal article about fishermen getting in the mix that caught me by surprise in an interested party that never occurred to me before. City Journal has good historical background and context that they gather up on subjects too...
"The mounting opposition to the development of offshore wind in Long Island’s waters is the latest example of the growing conflict between renewable-energy promoters and rural residents. Cuomo and climate-change activists love the idea of wind energy, but they’re not the ones having 500-, 600-, or even 700-foot-high wind turbines built in their neighborhoods or on top of their prime fishing spots. The backlash against Big Wind is evident in the numbers: since 2015, about 160 government entities, from Maine to California, have rejected or restricted wind projects. One recent example: on May 2, voters in three Michigan counties went to the polls to vote on wind-related ballot initiatives. Big Wind lost on every initiative."

How to Apply Data Science to Real Business Problems
And this situation doesn't apply to windows or macos how, exactly?
For a top notch office it might be as high as $1500 but that's still cheap compared to giving up and inevitably going out of business.
+1 for Lamy Safari.

But if you want something real cheap, I find that Platinum Preppy ($3) is also quite good.
Very good point.

It sounds like "Why are there laws that prevent fools from giving their money to me?"

The more replies I read, the more I'm convinced these regulations are working exactly as intended: to protect the innocent from free-for-all sociopaths.
An excellent data point for the argument toward ending ``Net Neutrality''
I think World War 2, the Korean War, the first Gulf War and possibly the NATO engagements in former Yugoslavia benefited Americans. Furthermore, I place value on the deterrence broadcast by such actions. Look at any poll--war is popular.
I wonder how many turbines we'd need to be able to run them inreverse and affect the weather.

Edit: I know we're no where close to doing this but how far is it. Are we 1% of the way there?
that's not right. real wealth is having a low cost of capital.

the wealthy tend to carry debt because it's plentiful and cheap for them. access to cheap money gives them access to better returns than the average bear. if you are not wealthy, debt is expensive and not nearly as rewarding.

but having debt, of course, doesn't imply you are wealthy.
> There's a lot of metallurgical coal necessary for the construction of certain high-grade steels, such as those you'd find in wind turbines.

Sure. Though I don't see how that should preclude getting rid of coal for power and heat generation?
This observation came to a head for me during a conversation with my fiance about tuition costs.

I went to Stevens Institute of Technology, a private engineering school in New Jersey. When I started my schooling in 2005, the average tuition, not including room and board, was a little under $27,000. [1] It is now a little over $50,000, again, excluding room and board. [2]

I studied Computer Engineering. The average salary for a computer programmer in 2009 (I didn't graduate until 2010 but had a job starting in 2009) was $64,036. [3] Today? $79,840.

So despite the average wage for my work increasing by 20%, my school's tuition went up by over double that.

After factoring in rapidly increasing housing costs, it became evident to me that (a) I'm in a race to increase my compensation before everything else goes up, and (b) unless our government does something to curb these rapidly increase college tuition prices, there is a significant chance that unless I make and save A LOT of money in the next 20 years, my future children, should we have any, will either not be able to attend the same college as me (or similar), or they will be in debt for MUCH longer than me.

I don't think you can get away with using Cloudflare's free SSL.

I tried, and I had no real excuse when some users said it didn't work for their old browsers at work. So I paid the $20/mo which made it work in all browsers and had other features that were useful to me, like on the fly image transcoding for mobile devices.

If you're really on a shoestring budget, I have a hard time justifying shutting down legit users. Just use something else like Lets Encrypt.
Offshore wind is considerably more expensive to build, maintain, and interconnect.

This article suggests that offshore wind is 3X as expensive as onshore wind:

http://www.windpowermonthly.com/article/1380738/global-costs...

That puts offshore wind as more expensive than gas turbines, for example. And that's assuming an offshore wind project could get past NIMBY opposition. There's a lot more land in the Midwest than there is coastline.
I had to laugh at the top post there right now, linking to the same article as here. "Normally don't care about Silicon Valley wankery - but this article has made me at least pay attention to fasting. Do people here consider it accurate?"

How to watch the NFL on the internet in 2017
The US is only 2000 miles wide so from the center that's just ~1000 miles which is fine even with normal power lines. You can do high voltage DC power transmission over 4 times that distance.
interesting to see these developments as they unfold, I wonder who's ultimately at fault, somewhat sloppy imprecise journalism or the the propagation of an honest mistake. Kind of like the tin can on a string game.
If you have 500k in cash in a normal bank account, you are either so financially illiterate that you absolutely need a financial advisor or you are rich enough that you can easily afford a financial advisor.
The paper was co-authored by an NVIDIA chap, although the prototyping was x86-based.

There are lots of hardware that has embarrassingly many cores which are underutilized on embarrassingly serial graph problems. Speculation is one way to get all those cores humming if you have a good heuristic for what is likely to be true and the hardware has versioned memory and hardware scheduling so as to make the speculation cheap enough.

The paper gave examples of such problems.
They are very very cheap, the regulations make up the bulk of their costs. Most regulations are important but the costly ones are not and it takes 10+ years to get approvals due to beuracratic hold ups. Even smoothening those out and keeping exact same safety standards would cut prices and time significantly

That said I am very pro Wind. The American Midwest is a goldmine for that and I'm very excited to see it increase over the next five but I hope they keep the tax credit, wind growth will significantly fall without it

Seeking opiates is not a natural thing for fish. They have a desire for food and mating and other necessities. But doing things for opiates is completely outside of their biology.

I think that is the point, but I'm no fish psychologist.
Two points:

1) Someone's getting taxed, somewhere. The question is what we want to incentivize.

Working hard for a living? Saving money and investing it to grow the economy? Purchasing food to feed and garments to clothe your family? Trading with people outside the country who make things more efficiently than you can?

Or sitting on underutilized land?

No matter what, someone's ox gets gored. The key is that it should be oriented around good public policy, and that people should have the time to incorporate policy changes into their decision making process.

2) You seem unrealistically worried about government coming in and removing people from houses they own at gunpoint. The actual worst case scenario is someone gets a reverse mortgage from the bank to pay property tax with equity from the home, and they end up bequeathing a smaller proportion of wealth to their heirs when they pass.
Very far? In wind turbines, bigger is better, as bigger turbines are mounted on higher towers and thus get stronger and more consistent winds.

Developer usability: the fact that they're largely analogous is literally why the implementations that stick to one language, taking advantage of new language features as they pop up, and abstract away all the bindings, win out over something like Polymer, which sticks to the separation of HTML, CSS, and JS.

React, for instance, has changed a lot since its first release, mostly to do what devs need it to do with a bare minimum of coding on their part. That is in stark contrast to Polymer, which requires devs to write out a lot of the logic that you simply get "for free" with React. Writing a pure JS class that "just works" just because it has the two words "extends Component" is a hugely winning benefit, for example.

Take something like https://codelabs.developers.google.com/codelabs/polymer-firs... - it certainly does the job, the code is clean, and the separation of concern follows the traditional HTML/CSS/JS model. But as a developer, what I see is an inefficient implementation that requires me to put loads of stuff in that should be taken care of for me: "Why would you need to say what my component 'is'? Tooling should see that already.". Also, all browsers already handle arbitrary properties, so "Why would you need say which properties can be used, except for schema enforcement". (if I say <div cats="yes"> then every browser already sets that attribute key:value correctly). And of course: "Why would you need to specify which events to listen to instead of just implementing the relevant function hook? Tooling should take care of the rest".

So what I _want_ to write as a developer who's used to efficient web-component-like libraries is something like:

import { register, Component } from 'polymer'
register('icon-toggle', class IconToggle extends Component {
onAttributeChange(attr) {
if (attr.name === 'toggleIcon') { ... }
}
onPressed(evt) {
this.pressed = !this.pressed;
}
});

And we're done, that should tell the library everything it needs to know.

It really is just a matter of "what lets me do the most while saying the least". Polymer requires me to write a book where React or Vue let me write a memo. Does it make it harder for a search engine to index my site? Sure. But that's what seo/og is for. Does it make it harder for a user to inspect-element? Sure, but that's their problem, not mine. Does it make it harder for someone else to learn how I did something if I don't host the code on github or something? Sure, but I am under no obligation to write code that, in production, is easy to debug and replicate.

So while Polymer is super strong for all of those, realistically: I only care at the academic level, because that's not where my time and efforts lie.
There are entire sects of people in India that do 5-10 days of fasting many times a year [1]. This has been going on for thousands of years. Personally I know 3 people who fast like that. And they all look 10 years younger than they are, have lot of energy and focus. This may be anecdotal. For example they also only eat vegetarian and don't drink any caffeine. But they claim that fasting helps them a lot.
