IIRC, DARE had a slight opposite effect in communities where it was pushed hardest.
On one hand, I understand that psychedelics should be more studied than they currently are. On the other hand, I understand why they were originally banned. In a country that valued a monoculture and having a single way of life, psychedelics spurred a complete revolution with regards to social and cultural norms. It was seen as destabilizing, and a threat to the American way of life.

Nowadays, our country is very different. There is a widespread sense that there is no right or wrong way to live your life, and anyone who goes against multiculturalist viewpoints is labeled as ignorant or a racist. I think in this environment, the introspective, antiauthoritarian thought processes that psychedelic use brings about wouldn't have nearly the kind of social impact that they had in the 70's.
There are so many reasons for this.

Self-selection of confident, motivated men is a part of it.

Membership/leadership in a fraternity is all about social contracts. You come to college with 0 or maybe a few strong social contracts, and students fail/drop out due to lack of support all the time. Fraternities provide 30-60 strong social contracts freshman can rely on.

Fraternities also (by way of current major makeup) select for certain majors. I was a highly involved business major, and recruited many other business majors into our chapter. We had 1 art major member.

The mission is to make you a better person. Most buy into that and do it. This leads to higher income.
I read that. I disagree with his opinion. But that's not from Clean Code. And sure the book is about Java but I don't remember it's a great idea to have unreadable names or classes that do a million things in PHP for example. I never program in Java and I'm really happy about that but a lot of principles apply.

The unit test zealotism is the part I ignore about Clean Code. But the rest? Most of it is solid advice.
Why do you assume that comment is about African Americans?

My impression is that GPA isn't really that important beyond your first job, unless you're trying to get in grad school.
And like the article says, in many cases it's who you know, not what you learn. Baffling that this is still surprising enough to be labeled a "paradox" and to be the subject of articles.
I had a Mac Pro Mid-2010 workstation with a RAID 5 Array configured to have a hot spare for redundancy. Then I had a locally attached hard drive for time machine backups + BackBlaze + a hosted repo for the work I do + I use a third party encrypted cloud file sharing service for the most important documents.

The problem started when I decided to upgrade to High Sierra. The upgrade was catastrophic for this configuration of Mac Pro. I have been on the horn with an Apple Senior Advisor within Apple Enterprise Support who has escalated my specific issues to Apple Engineering. I decided to roll back but in the process of restoring the machine from the time machine backup the locally attached drive failed.

Apple has yet to tell me if they will even support the Apple RAID controller even though this version of the Mac Pro is listed as compatible. In the meantime I need to get back up and running. This is why I pay for a cloud backup in addition to having a local backup.

Fortunately, I also have a MacBook Pro laptop that I keep a duplicate copy of some of the data on.

My productivity will not take a hit.

It's just that most people are not me and it seems like it should not take more than four days to create a restore so that I can download my data.
>Many RN related performance issues boil down to not being mindful of how javascript interacts with the native bridge.

Yes, but being mindful of this architectural choice doesn't make it go away. It will always have to be worked around, which may add complexity depending on the specifics of the app.

I haven't made my mind up about whether or not to use RN for an actual product. RN has a lot going for it, but this particular architectural choice is a negative in my view.

The other concern I have is the lack of JIT on iOS. Or is that already a thing of the past?

None of what I'm saying should be taken as some sort of firm assertion. My experience with RN is minimal. I'm keeping an open mind.
I don't really understand what this is offering but long-term open source contribution seems like a mug's game (outside of positions where you're paid to contribute). The argument is that it will supposedly get you enough notoriety to land a job, but if the guy who made Homebrew can't get that to happen, it's certainly not happening for me.

Consider a state with twelve districts: six 75-25 A-B, six 75-25 B-A. Votes are even, seats are even; the state isn't gerrymandered.

So it isn't the case that a state where every district is split 75-25 is necessarily heavily gerrymandered.

On the other hand, if all twelve districts are 75-25 A-B then it seems like B has three fewer seats than it deserves, which does suggest that that definition of an efficiency gap is missing something.
The Democratic Party Presidential candidate in the last election openly boasted about plans to "put the coal companies out of business" after she would be elected, so it's not entirely a straw man to say that there are people who would kill coal at a rate faster than what competition would achieve.
Use the spacebar?
He is saying, if you could gerrymanderer every district at 75-25 the gap would be 0 even though it would be likely that couldn't happen without being heavily gerrymandered.

I think all districts being 75-25 is not really possible based on how communities grow and group together socially and economically.
Also interested to hear.

One interesting case is tracking news sites. The details added or removed from new stories over time can sometimes support a claim of bias or agenda-driven reporting. Of course sometimes they are just corrections.
Right, I feel like I've seen exceptions for a lot of errors ending up with xcode hanging on an exc_bad_whatever disassembly of some sort of main() routine, things like putting nil values in arrays, inconsistent uitableview datasource implementations, etc. Usually shows an alright stack trace logged to the console but the main xcode editor still opens a useless disassembler in system code?
Thanks for responding, I think I get what you're saying.

>I would say the safest assumption is to assume as little as possible initially, and try to dig out the details

Just to clarify, when I said safest assumption I actually meant in the context of personal safety (not trying to spread FUD, just acknowledging we live in uncertain times).

I would characterize your assumption as the fairest because it avoids misunderstanding and makes sure all participants get to fully articulate what they believe. While fair discourse ought to be the bedrock of a just society, it might not always be irrational to take people at their word.
I guess Paradise Lost is another contender, while we're at it.

Now, to be honest, a quicker or more practical introduction to Lisp would be the "Practical Common Lisp" book which is also superb. However, Land of Lisp is a charming book that makes you smile and feel like a nerdy (in a good way) 12 years old kid in 1982 who just got as a birthday present a brand new Commodore-64 and is eager to read the manuals!

I don't disagree with you, but I think there's a lot of people see the kind of people in the article as the opposition to progressive social issues like #BLM, acceptance of immigrants and the very same socialist policies that they survive off of and need to be expanded if these people are to see their lot in life improve. Rural communities overwhelmingly voted for Trump and they form the core of the Fox News constituency. The government they elected is now trying to take away their health care and give a massive tax cut to the top 1%. You'd probably see a lot more compassion among big-city liberals if these communities had embraced Bernie Sanders' agenda which would have redistributed a lot of wealth into their communities. But with their embrace of white nationalist policies and rhetoric, I think you see a lot of liberals feeling like they don't have the energy to care about all of the powerless people in this country and, instead, are focusing what limited resources they have on trying to help other oppressed groups (minorities, undocumented immigrants, etc.)
"Why do blacks even have a problem with the police" is an excellent question. The correct answer is "because the police disproportionately arrest them far more for behaving the same way as whites" and "because the police often murder them on the street in cold blood and face no repercussions" and "because the police are known to explicitly harbor white nationalist sympathizers and explicitly make racist comments publicly, in official internal communications, and informally in person". And finally "because the police as an institution in the US is primarily a force designed to protect property, and at its inception property was black slaves; traditionally, the US police are a psuedo-military force whose primary reason for existing was to chase runaway slaves".

If your follow up to "Why do blacks even have a problem with the police?" is "all they have to do is stop commiting crimes!" then it is the second statement that is explicitly racist. With the second statement you make the claim that the fault of police abuse lies in the abused, not the abusers, and that black people have no reason to mistrust the police except for the obvious fact that they are criminals.

There is at a state level - see how California moved to non-partisan primaries (jungle primaries) and non-partisan redistricting board.

The party in power (Democrats) agreed to this several years ago despite being the majority. The result ended up being that they got a subsequent supermajority, because I guess CA is really progressive/liberal in aggregate.

Well no... His distinction was that oligopoly required intent. And my point is that limited competitors is by definition limited competition.

Really, boiled down my point is that this: "I think people are over-using the word "oligopoly" for any situation where a few companies have most of the market" is really dumb because an oligopoly is any situation where a few companies have most of the market. Perhaps the rise in use of the word oligopoly is reflective of the increase in oligopolistic markets, but it's not due to misuse, certainly not the one he outlined.
Should they just lie instead?

Sometimes reality is not appealing.
GP clearly says "gmail, for work".

I think a vast majority of companies would fire (at least, call it out as against policy) if you just went ahead and used gmail for work emails because the official one is crappy.
> proving to the test suite and proving to your teammates that this thing is actually compatible with that thing.

I really don't know where that canard comes from. My test suites rarely if ever explicitly test compatibility.

They test for specific values: if I do this and that, do I get the value that I expect. The type "test" gets covered implicitly, because if it's not the correct type, it will also not be the correct value.

>typical pattern of maintainer burnout [...] , since a successful open source project

Right, but that's what my "game theory thought experiment" was trying to dissect: the 90-day restriction can dissuade commercial entities from embracing that software so therefore, it's not "successful". As a result, there is no work overload and no burnout.

Which past open-source project can we confidently replay history with the L0 license and say it would have roughly the same commercial adoption and the maintainers got paid more money?

That's not necessarily true. Justices most certainly ask questions they may personally not need clarifying on in order to plant the question in their colleagues' mind. Oral argument , historically and currently, is still an arena for Justices to share opinions and try to influence one another.
Because it is, always, every time it's brought up, every time it's stated. Sometimes people are clever and hide their racism in a few layers of "look at this lazy white person! I don't like him either!" but dig for a minute or so and you'll always find the truth. Occasionally it can be about other minorities, which you are correct to point out -- Hispanic Americans, etc.

But my two hypothetical quotes were simply examples of the attitude that is so common, not explicitly trying to accurately characterize the parent or GP.
I've owned my domain(s) since the '90s. Not sure exactly when I began the yearly ritual of pouring money into the registrars' pockets.. The earliest archive of my main site on the wayback machine is from 2001, but the trademark on that page says 1999-2001, and I think it launched a few years before that.

I've had the same email account since 1994; originally a netscape.net account but after AOL bought Netscape the domain was switched to aim.com.

I started seriously using the Net in the mid-'80s.
I started coding in '74.
I started breathing in '60.

That's actually my oldest "active" account :)
They have direct quotes from Google's press office, so perhaps not just personal speculation...?

" A Google spokesperson told Inc. that Mehta mistakenly marked some of his own email as spam, which confused the algorithm and triggered the shutdown. By August 21, the account had been fully restored."

Given that you think that a person without that reach would have had a similar experience....

that's your perogative of course, but you should forgive a little doubt from outsiders that things would've been so smooth for those without recourse to similar avenues.

I'm not sure coal can compete with fracking so the coal jobs are moot.
I find that a strange question to be honest. Plenty of FOSS is well funded. Not sure what you mean with "truly", but in my worldview code that is under a license accepted by both FSF/OSI is "truly" FOSS. A lot of people work on such code and are well payed.

I totally see the problems. But it's not that nothing is happening and no solutions exist. OpenSSL moved from "mostly one overworked guy with little funding" to "stable funding from multiple parties". It did so by convincing some major internet players that they need to increase the funding of software important for running the Internet. That is one way that can work. It's not the only one.
You can rent a bare metal server from Codero and get it provisioned in about an hour. Prices from about $100 to $1000 a month. At the high end, you get roughly what Google is offering here.
That’s not bigotry, that’s a disdain for human rights. The point of welfare is to ensure people have access to basic human rights like housing, food, health care, education. The whole thing about human rights is that you don’t have to do anything to deserve them and can do nothing to lose them. They are rights, not privileges.
It becomes an issue if the justice writes this misunderstanding of the research into their opinion. I think the researcher is merely trying to get their story out ahead of that possibility, just in case.

FWIW I think you're right to take this approach--most in-depth technical classes aren't good fits, for that matter, from a pricing perspective if nothing else. I charge a few hundred dollars a head to teach somebody in-person. The Fundamentals of Cloud Architecture course that I typically do is one I could, for the most part, extend to an online course...but, given that it includes the ability to contact me, etc., I wouldn't want to charge less than $100 for it.

It's a good course; better, IMO, at what it teaches than equivalent Udemy courses. And I'm a pretty good teacher, I can be pretty engaging while talking about this stuff and it's fun. But at the race-to-the-bottom prices of the MOOC economy, it's a nonstarter. The Udemy "every class is ten bucks" disease discourages really capable, competent people from sharing what they know.

(And Packt et al. finding somebody to read some slides is not a good counterexample. I said "really capable, competent" for a reason. I was approached by one of their competitors--a bigger company than they are--to write a book on Mesos on the back of two blog posts...)

Or - do neither of them get anything?
Was the threat to the traditional American way of life really the reason they were made illegal? It seems more likely that it was due to the unknown and possibly dangerous nature of the drugs. As a society we have always outlawed drugs that can drastically alter perception (aside from alcohol).
In the absence of significant income from album sales, artists can make a respectable living through touring and merchandising. This path isn't going to work for songwriters.

It's true to the extent that the long term effect of a fixed UBI will be less than you would expect based on prices at the time adopted and the inflation that net beneficiaries would experience without the UBI. This is mitigated if the UBI formula tends to grow in nominal terms (e.g., because it's tied to a revenue source which grows with the economy, or indexed to inflation) and, in any case, it requires unlikely assumptions about elasticity to have it not be a real net benefit to the nominal net beneficiaries.
