Both web client/server and X client/server nomenclature define what client and server mean in very specific (but opposite) technical ways, but I think both definitions limit how people think about what's really going on -- it's not so asymmetrical.

Actually, I think of the client/server relationship as a higher level abstraction above the mechanics of the actual socket connection, which can go either way, or both, or many relationships at the same time in different directions and between different sites.

All sites can offer any number of different asynchronous message based services to each other at all times.

It shouldn't matter who was listening, who connected first or how they connected, just that all sites can send messages back and forth on the same channel. It could be UDP, multicast, WebRTC, distributed peer to peer, or a central message dispatcher.

A (web client / X server) site with the display and GPU and mouse offers presentation and rendering and input services to different (web server / X client) sites, which themselves offer database and storage and computing services the other way, at the same time over the same channels.

WikiLeaks on Weed Sports Hour – #TakeAKnee Discussion
To a degree I do sort of like it though. Personally, I don't try to take artistic photos with my phone. To me, my phone offers an in-the-moment photo, not something I want to flex my artistic muscle with. For that, I would.. well, flex my artistic muscle. I would use my artistic knowledge and or tools (what little of both I have lol) like lenses, DSLRs, etc - to capture/create what I'm aiming for.

I understand that's not the same for everyone - but I enjoy the idea of my phone making the "pop music" of digital photography. Hell, I can't even zoom in without compromising quality. I just use it to document.
To be fair, the OP was not "fuck you I'm not a monkey".

There are some augmented reality headphones which can filter out some sounds but not others, so you might be able to listen to music but still hear preferentially hear certain sounds like tyres, engines, etc, or perhaps human conversation. A bit like listening to a podcast on your phone, but having it pause or fade out when the a satnav app wants to tell you to take a turning. Although I think they're still a bit of a work in progress, at the moment the microphones pick up too much wind noise to be able to use them while cycling, but maybe something for the future.

Analyzing Data from 34,000 Comic Books
Today (Mon, Sep 25 from 7:30 - 8:30pm EDT)

RSVP:
https://livestream.com/metis/events/7704104

Although critical analyses of feminism and sexism in popular entertainment are gaining momentum, the complexity of cultural influences means that discussions often remain qualitative and cannot draw on data-based evidence. Data scientists, however, have the ability to access and analyze digital sources, providing a unique opportunity to uncover and generate useful evidence for these critical discussions. Amanda Shendruk will discuss in detail her process of gathering, analyzing and presenting data from over 34,000 Marvel and DC characters, and what her findings reveal about gender representation in comic books. Covering super powers, naming conventions and team representation, Amanda will show how the skills employed by data scientists can re-energize broad cultural discussions.

About the Speaker - Amanda Shendruk is an award-winning visual journalist and data designer. She currently works at the Council on Foreign Relations finding ways to visually explain complex topics on foreign policy. Amanda has worked in newsrooms around the world, including at Maclean's Magazine in Canada and at the Guardian in the UK.

I stand mildly corrected.
You don't understand the reality of sexual assault, where many victims don't report to police because of precisely the kind of bullshit dismissal we see in this thread.
Fair points. Perhaps my phrasing was needlessly agressive. I didn't mean to label individual personal choices as 'arcane'. Rather, it's the social/cultural norm that I find suboptimal. (Also, the economic connotations involved are perhaps in bad taste)

I'm not sure whether this is correct in English (not my first language) but 'erotic' was meant to include not just sex but other forms of closeness as well. What I don't understand is why the bond of trust, emotional closeness, and so forth necessarily needs to have exclusivity built-in, so to speak.

It's also not like other (non-sexual) forms of closeness are considered cheating. If I am in a monogamous relationship and develop a non-sexual, strong emotional bond with someone else I've only made a new friend, not cheated. However if I have 'just' sex (with little emotional involvement) it is considered cheating.

Now if it were commonly accepted that it is only 'cheating' if you have some strong emotional bond in addition to sexual relations, it would make more sense.

Even then, however, it seems unclear why the fact thaat you also have a strong bond with somebody else somehow invalidates the bond you have with your partner.

Obviously, for 'practical' reasons the number of deep relationships one can have is limited. But 1 seems like an artificially low limit.

In regards to what we could consider progress: I completely agree with what you wrote. However, what is considered a 'normal' relationship, what is ezpected if no further discussion or arrangements are made, what most everyone defaults to, is a partly social norm with important consequences, and one which should be subject to criticism and optimization.

It seems unlikely to me that nearly everyone prefers exclusive monogamy vs a more relaxed relationship model. It seems more likely that the dominance of that particular arrangement is due to societal pressure. Of course maybe it seems that way because I am somehow emotionally immature. Unfortunately, it seems difficult to design rigorous studies to research this question.
Who's "normalizing" anything?

By that argument we shouldn't try to understand why anyone does anything we deem negative, and I would hope we can all agree that's incredibly silly.

Understanding "why" helps us understand how to prevent it from happening to people.

This article, in particular, is a great piece for people in healthy relationships to read, because it teaches an important lesson: you are not immune.

According to, which references an official looking SEC form:

"86.5% of Alphabet’s revenue still comes from their advertising business, which is driven by searches in web browsers"

I wonder how quickly their other revenue sources are growing? A ton of companies are using Google products in a paid capacity. They're really very good.

> So, like (...) You don't know what `T` is, but you know that `a` and `b` are parameterized by the same type.

Abstract types are existentially quantified, whereas generic type parameters are universally so.

Scala isn't type safe either, period.

> So if you want to define "safe" as "typesafe", that's fine, but given than ML's and Java's type systems are of similar (not identical, but similar) richness (i.e., they are both simple type systems with parametric polymorphism)

Actually, Java's type system is more complicated, since it has subtyping, as well as a limited form of first-class existentials (wildcards) that Standard ML doesn't have, yet somehow Java buys me less safety than Standard ML. This is what happens when engineers design programming languages.

> and given that you don't actually run into `ClassCastExceptions` in Java unless you choose to do stuff that can get you into that sort of trouble (which would mean ignoring compiler warnings), I think the two languages offer a similar level of safety.

There are no runtime type errors at all in Standard ML.

New to yoga?  what you need to know
Yes, but I am speaking as someone who did just break up with someone. Amazing how noone can actually read that part and just jumps to long ranty insults. Confirmation bias is going to be especially common if you delete words when as you read. (I assume you are addressing me when you say 'you' this and 'you' that).

The reality of my case is (well it's a complicated story) that it may well have gone better for them psychologically if there was a clear betrayal on my part.
Maybe mine is an extreme case, and in anycase knowing what I know wouldn't have made me cheat - I would rather be in the right - but then again it's easy to say that ...

Everyone seems to be taking such an absolute position. Which is ridiculous really since it really is culturally relative e.g. in france they are much more permissive of affairs - with certain thrown in social conditions about being discreet - and again it is not to say they are saying it is right - neither am I, just that it is not such a huge bad to deserve all the vitriol - like I'm getting for even discussing the matter.

What is clear is I would never make promises to people with such puritanical attitudes like yours. Clearly it would be a one sided contract since I would be much more forgiving and less entitled and on top of that given the way of hypocricy quite possibly less likely to cheat. Again, if I may argue by analogy, like the anti-gay politicians who are gay, I wonder wether the people who are so anti-affair are infact liable to do so or have done so themselves.

Of course there can be tyranny in a voluntary relationship, because you cannot predict the future and you can be bound (by e.g. caring more about the children, or social pressure) to suffer.

Some people are fools when it comes to relationships. They may know there partner cheated in the past, they may know they have generally sexually permissive attitude and are unreliable with their promises. Yet the outrage is still there nonetheless. You cannot make something into something it is not. I may as well get outraged if my partner doesn't become a millionairre or doesn't look like a supermodel after a certain age.

And just because you can make analogies, doesn't make it right. Somethings are better (for some people) with some danger of a bad outcome. e.g. Extreme sports. Yes, I just don't think you can equate murder or theft to having an affair. Both are actions against a stranger. Now if one partner misspends a large sum of shared money then that is an ambiguous situation which is worth comparing.

Why get this denim jacket when you can get an iPhone and an Apple Watch?

Jacquard only puts limits on you as it's stuck on that specific denim jacket. Apple Watch on the other hand works with any jacket. You don't even need a jacket with Apple watch, you can wear whatever you want, whenever you want, and it would still work compared to Jacquard which wouldn't.

I've read this point in a few places as well, but it doesn't really explain why they closed the catalog.

Here I found an article from 1993 describing the move: http://www.nytimes.com/1993/01/26/business/sears-eliminating...
