There are debate formats and tournaments that encourage 'actual, useful rhetoric'. I.e. Congressional Debate, Parliamentary Debate, and certain tournaments and competitive circuits in LD. I.e TOC bidding tournaments are oriented towards the high speed fun stuff with Nietzche and Kritiks etc etc compared to the National Debate Tournament which ruthlessly enforces a much more traditional style of debate... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFFOLNdSOWE

High School Debate is not some monolithic top down hierachy- there is a vast array of tournaments and events that cater primarily to the needs and preferences of the students who choose to compete in them for fun.

Fast debate with competent judges doesn't just stop being debate...everyone starts slow and over time learns to speak cogently at speed. If their arguments don't make sense at speed to the judge they are typically discarded outright. Fast debate really opens the competitive landscape, since you have a lot more time to open up complex ethical frameworks and longer arguments. If you and the judge and the other debater understand what is being said..well..why should we restrict ourselves from having an educational and fun round? because it matches the preconceptions of some musician on hackernews about what 'debate' is? pish posh
Does anyone know if AMD PSP can be disabled?
Finally Tinubu drop his 7 point agenda-what do you think
Yes. The Windows Media Player referenced is a perfect example, since it is basically just a shell app where all the UI functionality is pulled in from plugins and all of the codec support is handled through external codec libraries.

There is definitely a bit of bloat when it comes to Android apps that use the support libraries, as the OP article mentions, but the benefit you get for that bloat is worth it if you're writing full featured real-world applications. (The support libs make it easy to support newer Android features backward compatibly to very old handsets).
On what do you base this criticism?

I've not read any of these books, but they sound like more than a passing summary of the topics; at the very least they sound like a wonderful introduction, the start of the top-down strategy you espouse.

Is there a reason you believe these are not a good start to the top-down approach?

Is there a reason a person is better off avoiding this series entirely, rather than learn some facts?

It seems if I read 152 pages on (say) Teeth, I know vastly more than 99.99% of the population, and could quite enjoyably engage with a dentist or perhaps an anthropologist I met at a party.
User acjohnson55 mentions below a Radiolab episode in which a debate team does exactly what you suggest. They had a lot of success with their strategy, but ultimately even as the community paid lip service to all of the issues they raised, no great change came out of it. The format hasn't changed. The content isn't any better.

But what is your proposed solution?

I'm Russian and there used to be a popular anecdote here that 1/3 of the country is in prison, 1/3 guards them and 1/3 are relatives, waiting for the release of the prisoners.

Russian prisons are no resorts, with few if any facilities found in Scandinavian prisons, with terrible food and anything but humane attitude from the administration.

Out of people who spend there 4+ years and then go out VERY few are back to being normal. Most are simply broken (and I do not use that term lightly) unless they were hardened criminals for whom prison is merely another step in their career and they knew what they were getting into.

I don't think severe prison conditions are good for the society as a whole.
...but this varies depending on motherboard? ie if I buy an Intel CPU, and (say) an ASRock motherboard, is this still a thing?

None of the complaints in the article are more unreasonable than the act of buying a smart watch. If you are going to pay hundreds of dollars for a watch, it had better do its very simple job without breaking. It doesn't matter if the complaints are minor in the grand scheme of things. The need for a smartwatch is equally minor.

Exercise is important, even if you don't whole-heartedly enjoy it. I remain baffled.

Given that truck driver is the most popular job in the majority of US States, I get the feeling its going to go beyond having a political lobby. You put that many people out of work in one event and that's going to wreck havoc. Political lobbies are not the only way to exert power.
To come back to my second point, let's say we make a webpage arbitrarily more complex. Where does the tipping point lie, where compositing would become more favorable (in terms of time and energy) than repainting everything on every frame?

Also, what (time and energy) savings could compositing bring if implemented on the GPU? (versus repainting everything on the GPU).

How the heck do you concentrate with all the scenery around you though? I would not be able to sit still.
In some senses yes, but the other team is a) given equal speaking time, b) can argue that it’s nothing but a gish gallop and most importantly, the other team’s arguments still have to rise to he level of “argument” as in the have a claim, at least one warrant for that claim and can explain why that wins them the round. It’s. While dumb dropped argument certainly do win rounds no body really winning on “we win because we said so”. Judges will also generally give the opposing team a lot of leeway in giving shorter or grouped responses to low quality arguments.
That's still defensive.

"Here, we place a strong focus on ability to work with others and collaboration. Success requires teamwork!"

Don't justify your preference, just state it directly. It's not about tradeoffs, it's that we're fundamentally doing something collaborative -- everyone needs to be on the same team.
Hah, I love grindcore!! I've been into grindcore, crust, black metal, and death metal since the early 90's when I was also a debater :)
I would have used scrypt (memory bound and therefore hardly scalable in ASICs/FPGAs) with a higher round count, say that it takes ~1s to calculate the hash. That way bruteforce is infeasible these days.
Also I would have used other sparse information such as street number that hardly can be connected to a particular person.

Every company, all else equal, wants the best talent available. There are two separate and not necessarily related issues here :

1. all else is not always equal, and the most technically proficient developer is not always the one that adds the most to a given team (and in fact is not even always a net-positive)

2. Great developers don't always self-identify as great developers, and conversely not-so-great developers do occasionally self-identify as great developers.

In short, I suspect they're trying to weed out a psychological profile - not aptitude per se.

How to Buy ABM: Part 1 – Selling ABM Internally
untested, but I think you could possibly bypass it with a malicious .inputrc binding for <enter>, although making it conditional such that it only removed a leading \ could be tricky.

In Bash there might also be a way to do something cunning with a 'trap DEBUG' hook to modify the command between submission and it actually being run.

Or you could just exec into a terminal multiplexer like screen[1] to intercept & rewrite/suppress both commands and output.

Edit: It's much easier than that.

The function:

echo () { command echo "hax" $@; }

will still be called by '\echo test' (The 'command' prefix stops it becoming a forkbomb :)

I think it's very likely that the order to backdoor all hardware came from the government and Intel decided to market it as some kind of advanced management benefit for the consumer. Evidence in favour is reverse-engineered functions in Intel ME that have NSA's name in them:

https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/hardware/researchers-f...

There's no way that both Intel and AMT simultaneously decided to backdoor their hardware out of consumer demand. The order must have come from above.

Rust with VSCode and RLS gives pretty good code auto-complete.
Not pimeys, but VSCode with the RLS plugin has pretty good IDE functionality.

The judge is God first and foremost

What could possibly go wrong :-/

One might argue that the jury system in legal cases functions primarily as a check upon the risks of corruptible judges, whether that corruption takes the form of mere bribes or appeals to intellectual vanity. But of course once you go down the democratic route, the temptation to appeal to the emotions of the poorly-informed creates a new set of problems.

Another part of the problem that I feel the author overlooked is the default dualism of debate, with all nuance and complexity reduced to one option or the other. This is reflected in the either/or nature of litigation and referenda, where the preference for a clear majority decisions encourages the sort of gamesmanship that undermines institutional participation int he first place.

Lately I've been exploring alternative decision-making systems and one that has captured my interests is designed for moderate-size groups (up to a couple hundred people) in a two-step process: people slit into smaller groups to originate proposals, then vote as a large group to rank them. the key difference is that participants get 3 votes, so they can advance up to 3 proposals they consider worthy, or put all 3 votes behind a single issue they care passionately about.

Of course any system is subject to manipulation once formalized, this approach seems to generate greater collective satisfaction with pluralistic outcomes (emphasis added because I haven't fully researched it yet).

Yes, I know about UIKeyboardAppearance and how apps can influence that, this isn't what I am talking about. When I say "system password" dialog, I am talking specifically about requests for my iCloud/iTunes/phone password. Unfortunately I can't seem to trigger it now, but I distinctly remember in the past the keyboard looked slightly different than the dark keyboard theme. Maybe I am wrong!
Oh no! Sorry I didn't mean to disparage American debaters. I was saying exactly what you are: that LD doesn't transfer well to Worlds style. My point being that penalising dropped points didn't lead to spreading in other styles, so there has been a form of evolutionary divergence in the metas of different styles.

Also, American rugby is probably not as good because the good football players are, well, playing football ;)

The "that's your fault" comment was from the perspective of the judges. As in, in LD the judges can follow the breakneck speed whereas in worlds they don't bother to.

Treasure in Heaven: The Holy Poor in Early Christianity

http://www.upress.virginia.edu/title/4867

From the description:

"Seen against the backdrop of Asia, Christianity might have opted for a Buddhist model by which holy monks lived by begging alone. Instead, the monks of Egypt upheld an alternative model that linked the monk to humanity and the monastery to society through acceptance of the common, human bond of work."
I've moved across the country a few times now - I'm not sure the expense of physically moving stuff was ever the largest.
Individual experiences vary widely; I am 41 now and still have just as much trouble going to bed before midnight or waking up before 9 as I did in my 20s. It still takes effort to restrain my impulse to stay up all night, in fact, whenever there's something remotely interesting or creative I could be working on instead of sleeping. It is not simply a matter of habits, either; I spent most of seven years getting up in time for a 7 AM conference call every work day, and it never got any easier. As soon as that was over, I went right back to my old schedule.

Perhaps it's less of a struggle to fit my life into normal business hours now, after years of experience trying to do it, but that's really just a matter of coping skills; my body clock remains as stubbornly nocturnal as it has ever been.

> It's as a curtsey but don't think it's necessary.

The job hunt process is lubricated with politeness. Both employer and employee should want to make a good impression on each other; like on a first date. I can't imagine a situation where courtesy was more necessary than that. More so, when it costs next to nothing to send out an AUTOMATED email

1) Acknowledging receipt of an application and thanking the candidate. [Enables the candidate to keep records in a busy life]

2) Informing them you've moved on, and how soon they are allowed to apply again [Typically >3months].
Afterwards, yes, but before that all staging tables belonged to a single role under a single staging superuser.
As a small farmer, the government requires that we pay into an industry lobby group each year. All farmers, that is, not just small ones.

But, as a small farmer, I already see how unaffordable automation is. Tractors that are basically self-driving have been commercially available for decades, but it is difficult to pencil out unless you have a lot of acres to spread the costs across. I feel that the same will be true for self-driving trucks. The huge fleets will adopt it immediately, but small guys like me who only have to haul grain a few weeks of the year, it seems more cost effective to just spend some time in the seat.

Time will tell, but history tends to be a good indicator. I don't see truckers going away any time soon.

You have done an excellent job responding to a point almost entirely unrelated to the one you quoted.

He was talking about white supremacy, not slavery. And the phrase "all-American concept" does not mean that America invented it. He means that it's intrinsic, pervasive.

Which is pretty obviously true. America was white supremacist from the get-go. If not, we wouldn't have needed the 15th amendment, which came circa a century late. We wouldn't have needed 8 different civil rights acts (so far). The notion of whiteness is something America helped create and is continually redefining so as to help maintain white supremacy.
We need a browser that is more private than what we have today. Something to hide the IP and separate online identities on various sites, and monitor the data being sent out not to contain your personal information, even if it was sent by your own mistake (like, referencing your secret reddit account on your public name email).

Privacy has similarities to hygiene. We have learned, through a lot of suffering, the importance of hygiene in daily life, we need to learn a new kind of hygiene now, but people can't do that unaided.
> but taxing gains in productivity is a perverse incentive.

Not at all. The end goal should not be productivity onto itself. If those gains are being scooped up by a sliver of the population, we change the rules to benefit all. One person, one vote.

As automation automates away more jobs, the cohort of people without jobs grows, forcing regulations (through democracy) to change to move towards a citizen's dividend funded by a tax on automation. The system will reach equilibrium, or there will be a revolution.

If you don't want your automation lifting the tide of all boats, someone else will come along and build it.
This also reminds me of how often people on hackernews complain about scientific papers of being overly technical and abstract..The complexity is to a large portion necessary to communicate meaningful arguments instead of 'used car salesmen'
Well, I agree :). I don't want it to appear that I'm claiming there are differences in brain structure on average between men and women -- I'm just curious what science has been done.
I've been beta-testing this for a while and have found it very useful for its stated purpose (and have found the developers very responsive when reporting issues).

Kluny's response is correct, but I'll also add - when I see "rockstar programmer" on a job advertisement it reeks of "meaningless corporate BS" and/or "juvenile work environment".

If you require someone that can "develop more software than 5 - 10 newly hired regular programmers", just say so (and good luck).

Hospitality is all about tracking minor costs.

You're argument would be akin to the keyboard buying from the user to write code.

I think I realise what you are leaning towards, and it is like that.

Any piece of equipment has a direct relation to the ROI, honestly it's not pleasant to think of staff that way, but when the margins are that tight, it has to be done. (that's one of the reasons I left hospitality.)

It's not like advertising where you can charge someone 20k for a dm campaign, people will only pay so much for food, and the 'whales' arnt really there (at least not enough to keep an entire restaurant running at a loss).

When you're profit margin is less than 25%, and you can't guarantee the number of users per day, let alone per week, then you're damn eight everything is calculated as a cost down to the cent.
Submitting printed sheets of bullet-pointed arguments with footnoted references is almost exactly what college policy is right now. Except: it is the full text of the cited evidence, so as to prevent misrepresentation.

Why?

Because they already know how to be orators and can excel at that (I've seen both sides of this: there are pretty prominent examples of former debate champions now working in front-facing roles as PMs, VPs, etc in tech). Having mastered that, it's pretty unsatisfying to compete strictly at that level. Look no further than the intellectual depth of a debate with Tony Blair - an orator who can't follow his argument all the way down - for an example.

Here let me explain the logic of your criticism this way:

> These formatted baking pastry competitions because are useless! Really, who's to say whether any of these guys/gals knows how to poach an egg?
Which raises the interesting question of why it's an extracurricular activity in the first place, given the importance of argumentation as a social skill. One wonders what outcomes might result from (say) having an adult judge and 12 jury members drawn from the student body.
