Interesting, I have disliked celery during my childhood, but I like it now :-) Though, I have always thought (and still think) celery has a peculiar and quite strong taste. Lettuce I can agree does not taste that much.
The hardest part of his approach is the genuine respect he showed for the racists. He approached them as reasonable and intelligent and let that work to his benefit by essentially forcing them to deal with the resulting cognitive dissonance in their heads.

The wrong lesson from this would be "being nice to racists" is somehow a meaningfully important aspect of his approach. He didn't bake them cookies and expect their racism to melt away. He showed them respect and didn't preach or moralize to them. In fact, he didn't seem to directly confront the poisonous beliefs at all.

His approach was the same as that of the most effective leaders.

So many social groups start from the premise of zero respect for those with whom they disagree. Which is great for feeling superior to others, but not for actually making a positive impact on the world around you.
i'm curious - was that always the extent of the conversation, or was there ever a 'it's sexist because ... ' part that engaged your reason and changed your mind?
Research more about his style and approach. He goes to great lengths to understand their views before meeting them. In his AMA he mentioned that he would even hold debates with himself in the mirror, representing his own opponent. Extraordinary stuff.

China stands to be completely screwed over by another NK-USA war, and I find it hard to believe that they haven't even considered the possibility of this happening.

Do you like beer or coffee? Those two are also pretty harsh and not sweet.

The reason why I like red wine is because I can select ones that are not sweet and I really enjoy non sweet drinks with food. Water is nice and what I usually drink but it is pretty neutral and does not add to the meal the same way wine can do.

However I'm not a fan of alcohol so I have been starting to drink non-alcoholic beers (I like lagers and I think those are fine as non-alcohol) but I have not found a good non-alcoholic red wine yet. I would love to though so if anyone has any recommendations please tell.

I really dislike this argument. About 1% of US adults have had schizophrenia in the past year. And 2.6% of the adult population has bipolar. Yet at some point in their life they didn't know they were going to have schizophrenia or bipolar! You're arguing that this only affects people with the condition already but if you can't know if you are predisposed for that, then you have to accept that there's risk. I support studying the risk and benefits, but your argument suggests that the risk only applies to other people. It doesn't and it's destructive to suggest otherwise.

Let me put this another way. Their recommendations include first and second degree relatives. Wikipedia says that the risk of having schizophrenia when you have a first degree relative with it is 6.5% [1] This is the single biggest risk factor for it but it's still pretty small. If it's too dangerous to take based off a 6.5% risk then it's also probably too dangerous to take off the 1%-ish risk that the entire general population faces. At the very least, it's important to acknowledge that there exists these risks instead of replying to every anecdote that hurts your cause with this misleading information while allowing the anecdotes that help.

> ignoring price and prestige

It's funny to lump these together. Having lived in a couple of wine-producing countries now, I've found the wine culture is heavily centered around finding the best price for the best wine. Finding a half-way decent low-priced wine is considered just as much a skill as knowing which high-priced wines are actually worth the cost.

Prince dropped us at the same time as a dozen other companies. To pretend that anything but the same pressure that had been applied to all those other companies had anything to do with it is pretty ludicrous. It is obvious that nothing we did had anything to do with it, given the timing.

We never made any such claim, but it is obviously irrelevant even if we had. Did we also claim that GoDaddy, Google, RU-CENTER, 101domains, Zoho, Sendgrid, Namecheap, Dreamhost, and a dozen other things I can't even remember were secretly Nazis supporting us? No, but Cloudflare dropped us with them and came up with a really fucking lame excuse to try to pretend that we were a special case.

We're not a special case. We're the only legitimate opposition to the establishment. The establishment came to him and made him an offer he couldn't refuse. If he had integrity, he would be honest about it. Now he's a bitch and a liar, whereas he could have been just a bitch.

Thanks. Played the hell out of JK2 when I was 12-13ish. Loved the old zone.com multi-player matchmaking. Sabers only, no force, of course. There was a site (cannot remember name) that JK2 players used as a ladder. I got up to around 10-15 ish at one point. The old clans[0] were an awesome experience. I remember thinking the guys in Atomic, Iron Knights, Digital Heroes, Eagles of Space were so cool. So nostalgic. This game introduced me to internet gaming culture, and probably played a big hand in setting me on a path to be using computers for a long time.

> When you get all worked up over the way people are talking, you have allowed them to seize control of the debate

Getting people worked up is a very potent political strategy –– and it is very effective at defusing the power of the other side. You're absolutely right that it allows the other side to seize control of the debate. I really wish more people would respond to craziness with calm compassion; our political world would be VERY different.

What's the best way for a novice to determine what their needs are? One thing that's been a barrier to entry for me has been fear of vendor lock-in from point of sale with regards to upgrading in the future; ie: purchasing a starter kit by company X but once determining that only company Y supports the feature set. Where there would then require a non-trivial amount devtime would be sunk in re-tooling your code both across hardware and design environments. I was originally really excited to see AWS hosting FPGA instances, but a friend told me that they were charging a heavy premium and only had a limited number of manufacturers.
Catalonia has no better corruption track record than the rest of Spain. Basically what you are saying is that you don't like the majority party, and therefore want to form your own nation. That's not how democracy works. Catalonia already enjoys a strong autonomy status, stronger than any other region of Spain and arguably stronger than any other region of Europe.

I agree PP isn't optimal, but I fail to see any real alternative coming from Catalonia or the entire region that is Spain.

The Chinese fell for the same trap many non-ultra-right-wing Trump supporters did: they believed that Trump would be made presidential by the office.

> I really don't believe that's a fact. There have been numerous experiments over the decades about implementing basic income, with varying degrees of success....

The issue here though is the implication, and even with some people the genuine belief, that it is true always. On average you are correct, yes, but if you consider that averages are not spread evenly, there are subsets (US states would be only one example) where the reality is very much different than the national average reflects. So, when you say "if the government does <x>, <y> WILL happen", and people KNOW that to be false (because they have seen past attempts fail), this is at least in part where part of the rift between political camps begins to form, or contributes to the overall problem. Furthermore, these "minor" differences of opinion can then be exploited by opportunistic politicians to have far more impact than they would otherwise.

A not terribly great illustration of this imho can be seen above - downvotes of this idea with no rebuttal illustrating it's wrongness. In the majority of the IRL & internet discussions I've been involved in, a rebuttal is never provided because "the left" considers this discussion to be over. They are correct, full stop. They do not need to address opinions different than their own, because they are wrong. To my mind, this is a very dangerous mentality, and leads to the very political climate we are seeing today.

Politics always has been and always will be a battle of ideas. Abandoning logic and resorting to force, mob rule, and covering ones eyes and ears does not lead to a successful outcome.

"The small town that I grew up in would be radically altered and I would experience much change in my personal life as a result of these globalist policies. The company for which my mother worked would move south of the border to Mexico. The company for which my father worked would see its doors close permanently. My reasonably prosperous family in rural America would eventually fall into destitution and dissolve. My parents would split up (in part due to these financial struggles) and I would move in with my grandmother."

This is how Trump was elected.

Suing a multibillion dollar company requires us to have the budget to do so-- generally that's a quarter million dollars or more for a federal civil case of that magnitude. Furthermore, what exactly are we suing for? Someone not doing business with us is not a valid tort. They can do that, and they can even lie about why they are doing that. That isn't cause for a suit, you absolute moron.

Essential Image Optimization
You can bind processing for a consistent subset of requests to an individual cpu core - essentially sharding requests across cpu cores and benefitting from very high l1 and l2 cache utilization. The idea is to treat the system with multiple cores as bunch of single cpu nodes connected via bus instead of network and without the unnecessary overhead of thread and process related context swtiching.
However, there is no incentive for entrepreneurs to take risks in your world. The existing patent system, as set forth in the Constitution, Article 1, Section 8, provides that incentive.
I'm not on their side, but they should have announced it was invalid and that the results don't matter, promoted unity and then secretly committed fraud they could expose. They could have posed as pro independence units preventing no voters from voting (recorded "secretly" on a smartphone). Then they could spin the separatists as dirty playing and corrupt.

>The only point of these rube-goldberg shenanigans is anonymity. Since IPFS is more concerned about performance it flips this on its head

Right, but there in lies the biggest issue that holds these systems back. Do you:

- Replicate and cache data freely between nodes, and by doing so open up scenarios where unpleasant content is stored on and served from people's nodes without their consent OR

- Limit replication and storage to elective manual choices made by the user and/or recent data they have explicitly accessed, and in doing so severely compromise the ability of your system to retain and serve data as that data ages.

IPFS in it's current state is prone to as much if not more bit rot than the web as a whole - When nodes drop offline the content they have pinned is unlikely to be present on any other nodes unless the original host party has explicitly replicated to other nodes they also control and pin content on.

The only solution IPFS has for this currently is manual, elective pinning of content by other network participants. Realistically, if your replication and robustness scheme depends on manual user intervention it's not going to find wide adoption.

All of this is fine, IPFS still has usage scenarios it meets well when operating in the state it's currently in. But as far as some ideas being bandied about on how it's producing a censorship-resistant, bit-rot resistant persistent storage infrastructure that might replace HTTP... Nope, not unless a novel solution emerges to this specific problem.
You can do it, you just need to live in a city. If you need to drive 15 minutes each way to get to the grocery store, then doing that every day is a huge waste of time.

If his criticisms of policies were restricted to traditional freedom of speech arguments like those made by many others he'd have attracted little attention (and would still have a monetised YouTube channel instead of a big alt-right following on Patreon). Instead, he's taken the approach of arguing that the gender pronouns themselves promote murderous communism and his colleagues should be ashamed of using them. Lest one think he is more crusader for academic freedom with a minor in hyperbole than latter day wannabe McCarthyist with a minor in hypocrisy, he combines that with interviews demanding that "counter-civilization" women's studies programmes be defunded along with half the rest of the humanities department because they're "dangerous" and "revolutionary" .

At every possible opportunity, in every interview and discussion, he's made it abundantly clear that he's the exact mirror image of the most paranoid, censorious and utterly impervious to reason "social justice warriors" on campus - just somebody that wants to class everything they disagree with as Marxism rather than hate speech

"Software is a process"

Except that the "process" is poorly defined, as the representation of the software is not actually relevant. Changing the compiler flags will change the process; certainly changing the compiler will. Writing the same algorithm in a different language will change the process, in some cases dramatically (e.g. an imperative language versus a declarative language). Evaluating an algorithm by hand will involve a very different process than using a mechanical computer, which will be different from using an electronic computer.

An algorithm is an abstract idea, and it can be expressed or evaluated in infinitely many ways (this is well known). An algorithm can "emerge" from a system unintentionally, as an abstract consequence of a system (template metaprogramming in C++ is an example -- it was an unintended consequence of how templates are processed).

If software represents a "process," what exactly is "processed?" Different representations of an algorithm can have totally different input/output encodings, intermediate states, etc. It is the same algorithm regardless, certainly for the purposes of a software patent (otherwise the patent would be pointlessly narrow and very easy to evade).

Basically, the only meaningful way to patent software is to have a patent that covers infinitely many "processes," without regard to the specific intermediate steps of the "process" or even to the particular inputs and outputs (just their abstract "meaning"). In other words, what is patented is the possibility of some particular computation -- which is exactly how software patents play out in practice. That is an abstract, mathematical idea, "tied" to "a computer" that is completely hypothetical (what CPU architecture? what hardware configuration? etc.).

It is a profoundly difficult situation to manage, because of course if the DPRK is utterly destroyed then they lose their border which currently has over 15 million ethnic North Koreans living it. To say the Chinese central authorities are primarily concerned with central governmental control would be an understatement. If the DPRK isn’t destroyed, but occupied by South Korea/United States that would be almost as bad or maybe even worse. Pretty much the last thing they want is to be completely surrounded by us. They feel they have to play this very specific game in which the DPRK is maintained as a credible threat, but not so immidiate a threat that anyone just crushes them including the Chinese themselves. All of this in the context in which the North Koreans don’t particularly like or respect the Chinese and vice versa. I can’t believe that this balancing act will work forever.
