I even see a large dropoff in usability between my commuter vehicle, which has knobs and levers, and my spouse's vehicle, which has buttons.

What makes it worse is that they are unlit buttons.

I can quite easily adjust the environmental controls in my vehicle without looking at them, or with a brief glance. In the other car, which I generally only drive at night anyway, I have to at minimum turn on the map light, and sometimes have to stop the car and look down at the mess of 20 identical-feel buttons to push the correct one.

The button I really hate is the "mode" button. It is furthest from the driver's seat, and switches between defrost, defrost + low vents, high vents, high vents + low vents, low vents. It doesn't click or beep or give any kind of audio signal. You can't tell by feel. You can either look down at the LCD display to see what it's doing, or you can wait a few seconds for the actuators to adjust the airflow, and then hit the button again if it wasn't what you wanted. This button's function is fulfilled by a knob in my car, and I prefer it that way.

I can't even imagine a touchscreen that doesn't even have the tactile-kinesthetic advantage of the fixed-position buttons. How many seconds will I need to look away from the road in order to turn on the AC and blow it at the inside of the windshield if the glass starts to fog up on a hot, humid night?
If they advocate violence.
Yup, it's because for the longest time TCP was as aggressive as possible to get the most bandwidth.

Over the last 10 years networks buffers have become gigantic and sending packets as fast as you can causes standing queues that can be a dozen seconds long. This is where the lag comes from when someone on your LAN is uploading/downloading.

The lag actually gets worse with higher connection speed because the devices tend to have even bigger buffers.

BBL and to some extent VEGAS are smarter going about things. They attempt to maintain constant latency instead of maximum bandwidth. For a few percent less connection speed all the buffers stay empty and delay stays minimal
Exactly. You are thinking of this logically while most of the people accusing Wikileaks of acting deliberately on Trump's behalf do not pay close attention to Wikileaks or understand its obvious journalistic motivations.

The minute anyone can prove that WL withheld anything newsworthy to suit its own political goals, WL is done. This has not happened. Further, anyone who leaked something big about Trump to WL (such as his taxes) would clearly want to see them exposed, and would not sit by and wait for Trump to win while the damning materials went unpublished.
The renter actually pays the property tax, it's included in the rent that is charged. There are very few landlords who rent out their property for less than the cost of property tax.

Further many residential properties are owned by LLCs and other corporations that allow them to lock in low taxes by never selling the actual property, but merely the holding company of the property.

What kind of support do you expect from a customer support of a tech project?
Me too. I still buy a fair bit from Amazon, but a lot of my purchasing has moved to Ebay and Aliexpress.

It used to be the case that Amazon was very rarely significantly undersold. Starting ~3 years ago, I started to find that Amazon was somewhat frequently undersold by enough that I was willing to wait for Ebay or Ali (or camelcamelcamel to email me an Amazon price drop).

I think Amazon's current positioning is more profitable for them and makes me happy as an investor in AMZN, but as a consumer, it makes me Google shop more often than before.
If all landlords could suddenly raise the rent, why wouldn't they already, regardless of the existence of the land tax?
I'd argue they have no moral obligation to do any such thing. However, they should probably make a pretty clear warning sign.

I fear we will digress too far. In short, I'm very pro freedom of expression. I'm glad voat exists, for example. The people there are often horrible, that is true. But, they still deserve to express themselves freely.
Nitpick - calls are for upside. Puts provide downside protection.
There are different accounting strategies for when you recognize income/expenses.

Say you land a long term contract to provide a service for 5 years and you need to buy extra hardware to fulfill this service, you can choose to expense the hardware immediately in the first year while you let the earnings come in over the next 5 years. In the first year you would be taking a huge loss (on paper), and in the following four years you would see larger than average profits (on paper).

Alternatively, you could acknowledge the full value of the contract immediately. Or another alternative is to expense the hardware over time.

I'm not an accountant, but this analogy is my basic understanding of the flexibility that companies have.

Technically, you're supposed to actually kill Nazis, since the US government (and many others) literally declared war against them.

Anything short of that is just a gratuity towards them.

Honestly, Americans aren't horrified enough by the mere existence of these people, treating them as an academic concept. If you actually know Nazis, you already know they're an extremely violent group.

It took only a few days of me being around Nazis before they literally tried to blow me up.

They're not academic professors. They're violent and organized militants. Treat them as you would Al Queda or ISIS.
Reddit, Twitter and others have banned a much wider selection of posters and communities than nazis. Of course they lead with NAZIS! but then it's anything from r/coontown to voting in the wrong thread.

To answer your question, you're not running a bastion of free speech if you ban people for their political opinions.

The dangers of AI are theoretical ones that will show up if AI reaches somewhere close to human levels of competence. The fact that it doesn't work well right now should be compared to computers speed today vs computers not being very fast in the 1960s, for example. I'm not totally sure about the "singularity" concept. But I also think today's level of sophistication should not mean any and all concerns about AI should be dismissed outright.

I've never believed that free speech meant anyone with a platform or medium was obliged to provide an outlet for any ideology. We are also guaranteed freedom of association, if the owners of reddit find Nazi propaganda repellent, they are free to disassociate themselves from it.

I do understand the growing concern that the internet has reduced the total number of important communication platforms, instead of hundreds of newspapers, radio stations, and TV channels, many people now get their news from a small number of medium - Facebook, Google, Twitter, which increases the risk that alternative points of view will be suffocated.

That's an important problem to solve, but not one so important that I am willing to force them to carry any content, no matter how deplorable, against their will.

What tends to happen when toxic subreddits get banned is people who liked them and supported them start whatabouting about edge cases and claim the ban wasn't done "consistently," eagerly pointing out instances of mistaken bans.

It reminds me of the fable, though I forget exactly what it was (edit: Loki's Wager), where someone sought to avoid being beheaded not by claiming innocence but by endlessly disputing where their neck ended and head began.

Stop with this "Nazi" nonsense. This is not 1930's Germany, there are no Nazi's. People can dress as them sure, but if I dress as an elephant from the costume store this does not make me an elephant. Also, where are the articles of the Islamic-group crackdowns? I do not see any, even though the Islamic invasion is happening ever so slowly and the Islamists are extremely violent. That's the real threat, not this pretend "Nazi" rubbish.

While I agree that IJ's internals are spaghetti, the VS LSP isn't quite the same, or at least, it appears to me, it does not offer the richness of IJ.

Consider that IntelliJ can syntax color and autocomplete multiple language grammars at once, e.g.

String aJavaString = "<someHtml onFoo='someJs.style=\"color: red\"; var regex = new Regex(\"someRegex\");'">

Does VS's language server protocol handle the ability to deal with nested language grammars each with nested contexts?

My issue is false negatives: IntelliJ usually just "works", especially with Java, it's near perfection and almost never gives a wrong completion. I've never encountered another IDE whose code understanding was as complete. Even a 2-3% false completion rate is super annoying.

Plus, the refactoring, structural search, and callstack analysis stuff is beyond reproach. Can VS tell me all possible reaching expressions to a given method? I've used that before to figure out what kinds of subtypes or nullability a given parameter has, but it requires global code understanding.

I feel like the kind of functionality that grok style code indexing provides is just the baseline, and what's important is what's built on top of it. VSC has a long way to go to reach IJ in that regard.
Later in the article, they mention that wiping the server was in response to a security vulnerability leaving 6.7 million sensitive voter records vulnerable. The governor's office claims to not be aware, so it sounds like they're still following the trail, as you put it. Fortunately:

Spoliation
I don't understand why anyone deserves server space and labor resources. They are free to express themselves, but the cost of running a service is not free, and they have no right to those costs.

They can stand in a public square and say what they like. They can have debates in their own living room. They can print up manifestos on their own dime. They have a right to do all of that, and nobody's arguing against that.
>>The way to prevent it is trial pre-registration, so that all trials are known about, not just the ones that turn out favorable after completion.

Is this not required? I am required to pre-register my clinical trials well in advance, and they are publicly searchable worldwide.
The effect your are talking about seems legit. The flip side about that is if you force these groups out of the public and then into the shadows, that's only proving the paranoia. Does that radicalize things even more? The same kind of viewpoints existed in the mid 90s, underground, and that lead to OKC which was one of the worst terrorist incidents in US history.

Is it better or worse that this is happening in public?
I would guess that people left because there weren't many other subreddits with similar topics to the ones that were banned. But there are other nazi subreddits, and the mods made it clear that it's acceptable to be a nazi as long as they're not advocating violence too much. So I would be surprised if that many people actually left this time compared to last time.
The valid argument is usually about safety. Many people, especially children are travelling to go to work or school and sunrise at 7:20, feels a little unsafe for many people. That extra hour in the morning helps.

Fortunately reddit is banning communities that advocate violence, not communities with certain sets of politics. It just so happens that there's a major overlap of political views to inciting violence.

Even the first amendment recognizes that there are limits to free speech- namely when they infringe on other people's rights.

A huge portion of the banned subreddits were zoophilia related too. This was just general housecleaning.
Yeah, that was a couple of years ago and a clear line in the sand. No illegal content. A good choice. Free speech doesn't include illegal content.

I feel that voting data should be made public record after de-identifying individuals. This is one area where stronger standards and norms may be helpful. If there was a market for third-party voter archival services at low costs, this would be far less likely.

The storage and technology should be very cheap, especially with the blockchain hype floating around. As skeptical as I am of new regulation, the requirement that de-identified voting data is made broadly available, and for all intents and purposes, immutable, sounds like a reasonable one worthy of further investigation.

Some governments already use similar services to archive emergency responses from social media, as is required by law in many jurisdictions[1]. That voter data, the foundations of the democratic US society, doesn't receive the same treatment is truly awful.

The bloodbaths required for such endeavors literally boggle the mind, and in the end they still only managed to go from mass poverty and serfdom to a point where they are clinging to middle income by their fingernails. If that is what counts as working out for you then it is no wonder the far left has no credibility whatsoever. Better for you to use examples like Singapore or Korea, and I wonder why you avoided them as examples?
The thing is, free speech must be free, which can include stuff that can be unpleasant.
If you want moderate speech, which is what most communities end up for, than that's fine, but it's not free speech.

Free speech is often a double edged sword. For everyone. While it's a nice concept it often carries big burdens that can't be easily tackled.

Reddit used to profess free speech. But the reality is that it's not sustainable as the website grew and started to cater to very different audiences. And as they grew they also needed to start to please advertisers. Which are often times vehemently against a lot of things that would fall under the "free speech"
I don’t want to nitpick your definitions, but nazism usually refers to the ideology of the NSDAP, a party that was disbanded at the end of WW2. You probably meant to say “violent racism”, in which case the comparison to antifa, and to a lesser extent blm, seems justified (they are linked by violence).
>The problem is: where will the line be drawn?

Intolerance, you draw the line at Intolerance. If BLM, PETA, Antifa want people of other race/class/sexual orientation harmed in any kind of way, sure go ahead and ban them.
If on the other hand they want fair treatment, equality or reprieve from targeted brutality, listen to them and see how we as a society can address their concern. If they resort to violence, arrest them and treat them like you would treat a criminal.

It is not really that hard. Right to free speech does not really mean right to say anything anywhere without any consequence.

The irony in this whole thing is, the more tolerant you are to an inherently intolerant ideology like white-spremacy, the less tolerant we become as a society.

China is a more complicated story, I think.

The goal here was to simplify the UX of content management systems. I always hated the fact that most CMS systems is just layers and layers of forms to fill out.
