I'm still skeptical if veganism suits everyone. I don't think we lived 100% off plants at any point in history. There isn't much evidence that plant based protein is superior or equivalent to animal based(grass fed).

Also, agriculture itself isn't blood free. So many animals die while procuring the land for agriculture or even while growing crops on an agricultural land.
They are complementary.

The issue is that people slide from it being a good map for some particular purpose to some blanket claim that all people really need to know is is <insert specific thing here>. The old classic case of this is geographically challenged reporters raphsodising about the London tube map https://tfl.gov.uk/maps/track/tube.

I love the London tube map, but when I lived there, it was all the more useful to me because I look at other maps so that I could know that certain stations were in easy walking distance from each other or some other place I was going to.

That's kind of what CrowdPAC (https://www.crowdpac.com/) already does. Even though I'd say it's more like GoFundMe than Patreon. It'll be interesting if people starting creating campaigns like "Vote for H.R. 9999 and get all the money from this crowdfunded campaign."

In short, it's cheap as hellllllll. Rent was like 270/month, food and fun was nothing, life is so so so good in Taiwan. I stress regularly about Chinese bluster regarding Taiwan, it is an incredible country I really believe is chock full of opportunity.

My journey to become a software engineer started there. Now that I've snuck my way into frontend, it's my goal as I get more experienced and senior to eventually move back there and start remote contracting or start my own business there. I'm still convinced I could get the best engineers in Taiwan to work for me by just paying them 50k flat out (they make like 20-30/year and are expected to work 9am-9pm, sometimes weekends, arbitrarily) and giving them reasonable (to an American) benefits.

Mostly Russians. And 20M is the “official” number. There are independent estimates that put the casualties even higher.

USSR was never “on the same side” as Hitler. It was never a part of The Axis. Stalin was just hoping that capitalist swine would take each other out and then he would roll in and take over. Same as the US was hoping Hitler would fuck up Russia and much of Europe so they could roll in and take over. As far as the spoils of war, the real winner was the US. Britain gave up its last ambitions of being a naval superpower and handed over its navy bases to the US. The US was propelled to the superpower status with relatively little loss of life, and became the dominant industrial power as well. Weakened USSR was denied power in Western Europe. What’s not to like?

I'm referring to the right of self-determination. It might not fall under one of the principles of democracy (my apologies), but it's certainly a basic right (http://www.unpo.org/article/4957)

The Spanish constitution won't change because it's in their best interest to not do so, which is why this illegal referendum is being created. If they wanted the Estatut to pass, they would have passed; they didn't pass it because the rest of the Spanish communities would have been affected by it from an economical point of view (suddenly a chunk of money that was going to the other communities stays in Catalonia. Guess who's gonna be unhappy).

As to when you stop with the right of self-determination, in the case of Catalonia, from a cultural, language, and historical point of view, there's enough reasons for a referendum to be held (given the discontent of the population). There's a similar situation with Quebec, for example. As far as I know, there's nothing about New York --language, history, or culture-- that would warrant a referendum, and there's certainly no reason for you as an individual to do so (you don't even have the basic political institutions).
I'm just suggesting that talking of "hyper-optimization" without getting the cost function right doesn't help.

"Free space" which they could already have gained back by removing the applications in the first place.

It's not the free storage space that is a big deal, it's the freed memory from not having to keep 32 bit and 64 bit dll's in memory.

Every OS update whether they had deprecated 32bit apps or not breaks abandoned apps. Apple also removed support from the Mac years ago for PPC apps that could run on x86 apps up to 10.6.
Yes. She would have won the Vice Presidency, as Trump became President.

Which only demonstrates the supreme idiocy of the original system our founding fathers envisioned. Its a good thing they gave us a mechanism to change the Constitution and the rules.

The founding fathers never tried to design a perfect system. They only hoped to make a "more perfect" system, that over time would improve upon itself.

And improve itself it has. Vice Presidents and Presidents now run together, instead of being #1 and #2 in the Electoral College. Black people can vote (and be more than 3/5ths a person), slaves have been outlawed, Women can vote. This country is one of continuous self-improvment (or at least, ATTEMPTED self-improvement)
Yes, more or less, but ...

> Today, commentators in Europe often describe the American way as “legalized corruption.”

... and ...

> But is it corruption?

Well, maybe not, except that people get elected who further the interests of the affluent:

> This perception is borne out by research from Martin Gilens, a politics professor at Princeton University, which shows that American economic policies over the last 40 years “strongly reflect the preferences of the most affluent, but bear virtually no relationship to the preferences of poor or middle-income Americans.”

So yes, plutocracy comes close. Or kleptocracy.

But democracy? Not really. Just the illusion of democracy.

Wait, you may say, Trump got elected, as an outsider. Well, outsider or not, he threw a ton of money at the sucker. And his people brought in Cambridge Analytics, and manipulated the disaffected. But he's really favoring interests of the affluent. It's the standard Republican thing.
The optimal method for gaming the system is entirely dependent on the details of the system.

In this case, first-past-the-post, winner-take-all voting produces a two-party system. No matter how you structure the electoral college, as long as their vote is FPTP/WTA, the two-party system will change every other rule that they can touch to ensure that only those who will vote for the party can ever become electors.
Everybody can speak about the referendum in Spain.

You can't say there isn't freedom of speech in Spain when even people convicted for terrorism speaks in public media everyday.

burglars will cut your internet connection to the outside

How, exactly?

OK, so the question is a little facetious, but most burglars won't know (or even know to consider) that they should cut a particular cable before breaking in.

In many installations, that cable won't necessarily be visible/reachable: want to climb a telephone pole to cut what's hopefully an ADSL cable and not a mains electricity cable? Without anyone noticing you?

Some users may also use a backup 3G/4G data connection, hook the alarm up to a UPS, and in some cases of monitored alarm systems, a data outage is in itself an alertable/respondable alarm.

Your degree (and expenditure) of defense will very much depend on your perceived threat profile, but for the most part, a burglar cutting your internet connection isn't high on the threat list.

There are make competitors written in Python (and other good scripting languages). SCons is built in Python and its equivalent to makefiles are written in Python. Cons, from which SCons was forked/derived/something, is in Perl and Perl is its scripting language.

Plain old Python (or whatever) is missing any notion of dependencies (so you'll re-implement a topological sort in every large project), file identity (so, you're either checking timestamps or hashing them or something to know when files have changed), and probably some other stuff. You're kinda doomed to reimplement half of make poorly every time you start a new project, and you'll find out which half as your project grows.

Some of the things that "modern" build tools from a decade or two ago implement has since been implemented at the language level...so, while SCons can do things with remote dependencies, you wouldn't need/want that in a Go/Rust/JS/whatever project because they all already have their own dependency resolving package managers.

That's not to say make is ideal. But, a scripting language alone is probably less ideal.

Probably just fine? Slovenia seemed to manage alright, and their economy is positively tiny.
Well, = doesn't really behave like traditional variable binding, since you can do stuff like:

build = cc -c -o $@ $<
file1.o: file1.c
$(build)
file2.o: file2.c
$(build)

(This is meant to illustrate the difference, this isn't a good makefile.)

To reinforce the notion that variables are really functions, you can even supply arguments when you call them:

# reverse is a function
reverse = $(2) $(1)

# eventually expands to 2 1
a = $(call reverse,1,2)
Starlink is the name of Subaru's .. entertainment? center software? It's not great. It works. Seems a pretty big brand to conflict with though.
That is absolutely true, and I fully admit that there isn't going to be a perfect way to do this unless you are very lucky. I'm only curious if you could use a method like this to make maps like shown above at http://www.spiekermann-wegener.com/mod/time/time_e.htm where it's approximately correct in a somewhat useful way.

My gut says it's probably more realistic to do this for large scale maps (say between major cities, 100s of miles, where distance is pretty proportional to travel time). Once you get down to the city / street level, yeah it probably gets real dicey with high variation in travel speeds depending on the particular road and how routes are laid out, and you just aren't going to get pretty triangles fitting together nicely :-P.

In any case its a fun problem to think about!
>Imagine if we had 10000+ congressmen, it would much much harder to buy influence or lobby. The votes would eventually start to resemble the will of the people.

I agree, but there would be interesting ramifications.

Almost like direct democracy but not quite there. So, essentially you have to earn the right to vote. Very close to what founders thought who should be voting. Mind blown!
Especially that main drive belt! It's not a normal belt. It looks like you'd need a flexible material that would accept making high-aspect, thin teeth.
Love it. What I find interesting is how much of this tech that puts the US easily in a position of global dominance is actually quite prosaic - it's a 747 and uses tech that's well known - but nowhere else can field this type of capability. Similarly with aircraft carriers, the advantages don't seem to be in the tech per se, but in the organisation, investment and will required to make it happen. Or perhaps it's just that they keep the UFO tech really well hidden :)

My opinion:

We install Unifi camera systems for a living - the crazy amount tiny little files and MongoDB basically require that the Unifi Video Controller have an SSD for reliable usage - that precludes the Unifi branded Unifi Controller that has a spinning drive.

Our recommendation: A Intel (Intel Brand) Atom NUC with an SSD and 8GB of RAM. Installing Linux and the Unifi server on it takes about 20 minutes and you're left with a more manageable machine.

I would also admit that the Unifi Video Controller hasn't been rock-solid until about a year ago - current releases now go forever without issue.

With the EC, there's no incentive for the candidates to acknowledge the existence of any "safe" state, and instead they focus on "Battleground" states.

As a result, safe-states get safer over time and partisanship might be on the rise. Maybe if Trump did focus on California, and maybe if Clinton did focus on Texas... then our country would better understand each other's viewpoints.
Gerrymandering would be a lot harder with more representatives too.
I've never believed that rumor of Samsung threatening to drop Android simply because it would have been financial suicide for their smartphone division. They currently have about 23% of the worldwide smartphone market and if they were to ever leave their marketshare would quickly be scooped up by other Android OEM's. Consumers want their Google Maps, Waze, Play Store and other Google services and for Samsung to think they would retain their marketshare by selling phones devoid of these services would be very shortsighted.
Let's keep digging in!

1. I feel entirely the opposite way about the appeal of an MIT-style license that includes a patent grant. It's not primarily about making the author feel comfortable — as the author probably doesn't have patents, and doesn't intend to. It's about giving the user of the software confidence. Because the user has no idea what patents the author may or may not hold. At this moment, this is playing out to dramatic effect in Facebook's open source projects — you can see an example here: https://github.com/facebook/graphql/issues/351

Being able to give users of my software fuller confidence under the Lil License also makes me more interested in using it as an author. It's a virtuous cycle.

2. I'm afraid I still don't quite see the issue you're describing here. If I'm following correctly, the hypothetical case is a contributor who writes a bit of code that exercises a patent that she has a license to, but not permission to sublicense, and then wants to submit that code to an LIL-licensed project. If she's not allowed to sublicense, then she can't contribute that code. She wouldn't be able to contribute it to an Apache project either.

3. It might be. I think that its width is more suitable for most open source projects than the narrower Apache and MPL, but that's something that would make for a good discussion. I'll open a ticket.

4. Again, we're talking past each other a bit. This isn't really trying to appeal to the Facebooks of the world — it's trying to appeal to us regular folk. That I might be able to convince people without patents to use the license is not irrelevant, it's exactly the point. Those people are the target audience. From a user's point of view, the patent grant is still important — because I never know for certain when an author may or may not hold a patent on the code.

5. If I grant you usage rights to a patent, I grant you a license to make, use, sell, import and otherwise transfer implementations of the invention described in that patent. If you think we need to spell out all of those words explicitly, perhaps throwing in "have made" and "offer to sell" as well, feel free to open a ticket and we'll talk about it further.
Yes, wholeheartedly agree with this being part of a wider cultural current. It feels like we're at a low point from which things can only improve, but I have thought that before, only to see the decline continue.

My comment was a mere crise de coeur from the bottom ranks of the industry hierarchy. Reading the article and comments here was a slight shock.

My recollection is that the first instances where I saw the term "politically correct" widely used, it was unironic and self-applied, in singles ads. This was in Seattle in the late 80s.

Certainly a very interesting product and something I see gaining increasing popularity, I was wondering if there have been have publicly published independent security reviews on the product / code, default configuration and recommended configuration for production deployment?

(I did a quick search and checked the readme and nothing popped up but I may have missed something while on my phone and commuting)
That's not an impartial source.

Anyway, when that site states "All peoples have the right to self-determination" Is there a minimum number of people to aim for 'this right'? V.g. if 259 persons in Els Hostalets de Balenya say the want 'the right to self-determination', are they a nation from then?
In practice, if something was truly open-source, there'd be nothing to prevent someone who didn't like you from building your app with each new release and putting on a web site for anyone to download for free. You might be the kind of guy who would pay $40 for good software, but a lot of people would get the free version and not pay. This is the eternal conundrum of open source.

Here's a modified idea, perhaps still not good enough but hopefully a step down the path. When you purchase the product, you receive access to the source code for the version that was then-current one year ago. Granted, you are not sure the current code doesn't have malware. But you can be confident, based on the history of the product, that it did not have malware for a long time. (And were you really going to scan the diffs for each release for malware anyway?) You could also allow trusted third-parties under NDA to review all diffs for the current code base and certify that they didn't see anything malicious.

This also ensures that should your company disappear, at the very worst, the user community will have a not-too-old version of the software to fall back on.
