The primary element of Nazism is violent racism. This is somewhat unique among political ideologies and makes these comparisons poor. If you ask a communist to describe their utopia, it almost certainly doesn't include millions of people being executed by the state. But ask a Nazi and it will.
Ok, so you’re forcing the browser to use their own implementation of it. But google charges for their mapping APIs, and I doubt they’d want to use something like the various open source map tiles in chrome.

It's the Chinese purchasing places (to dump their laundered money at any price), then leaving them empty, so they don't get worn down from use.

And Canadians paying those same insane prices and they trying to get renters to pay their mortgage.

And everyone renting on AirBNB instead of to locals

They do absolutely apply. And they work. Look at two incredible examples. Russia, post 1917, went from a third world feudal economy (albeit with incredible land resources and considerable intellectual institutions) to the second largest industrial economy in the world in 30 years. China: I will leave off their incredible growth curve over the last 40 years.

There are obviously downsides to top-down centrally controlled economies but to say they don't work is ridiculous.

I don't want to live in a top-down economy. It's too oppressive. I would prefer bottom-up socialism based on worker cooperatives.

But there are some services that are so critical that they cannot be left to the market with it's wealth-centralisation and pay-to-play politics leaving the vast majority in destitution.

Housing is one of these critical services.

I'm OK with that on principal if the "foreigner" is someone that has the right to permanently reside in NZ (basically the rules as for the right to vote - http://www.elections.org.nz/voters/enrol-check-or-update-now...).

It sounds like this policy would not achieve that, because it's claimed that the policy would only apply to "non-domiciles" which would presumably include temporary residents... so in that regard I would have to agree that it is loopholed :-/
I am claiming I do, yes, and would happily make my case to any of them for why they should do the hard work of agreeing on minor technical details and merge the two projects. It is the easiest instinct for engineers to "split off and code their own version" over technical disagreements, and why we have a dizzying array of incompatible, half-completed decentralization projects while Facebook and Twitter continue to eat society.

Thank you again for the info/backstory, though. I am just a naysayer who has sat through 1000 pitches of Fitzpatrick's basis thesis back in 2010 and seen excruciatingly minimal progress in the space of "actually making these things work for normal people".

what do you mean? 8 or 16 GPUs? That's require changing the code to use distributed tensorflow...
If you read the Wikipedia definition you posted, the first definition is to undermine political power. That means the same thing as changing the status quo. Powerful interests by definition want the status quo to continue because it's what makes them powerful. When powerful interests talk of "change" it's not change that would endanger their power, hence it would not change the status quo in any significant way.

Of course Judith was forced to resign once the sloppy reporting was fact checked by people who did not work at the NYT. The NYT had to let Judith go to save face after it helped defeat the anti-war activists and other people who were cautious to believe George W. Bush's claims about Saddam.

Keep in mind that for a major company like the NYT firing one reporter is not a big deal at all. It should be shocking that simply firing one person is enough to make the journalistic scandal of the millennium go away.

No, they're still there, and no, everyone who disagrees with you isn't a Nazi.

This also means that people who encourage you to "punch a Nazi" or that there's nothing wrong with punching a Nazi/racist should also be banned.
The newer Amazon warehouses actually provide a nice example of some further refactoring to make at least parts of the stocking and picking more automate-able, in that the shelves all move and he humans stay stationary. Fingers are still hard, but moving across a warehouse is easy, so may as well shave off that piece of the task.

The sibling comment regarding avoiding a taxable income is correct.

When a company makes a profit, it pays taxes on that income. The dividends are then either 1. distributed proportionally to the shareholders, or 2. reinvested into the company.

The general idea is that reinvestment will generate more profit in the long term. In this case, the company reinvests the income into operations and growth during the next fiscal period and onwards. This method of reinvestment, however, still requires some taxes to be paid on the income.

As an alternative, a company can fill their income statement each quarter with expenses that will ~match their income. This way, they're essentially reinvesting in their operations and growth just the same, however they don't have to pay the taxes if the expenses are generated in the same quarter. This method makes the company look unprofitable, but in reality is merely an accounting choice (and arguably, a good one).

A random article I found that explains some of the strategy:

I'm reading the manifesto, and for some reason, a story I once heard, possibly apocryphal, came floating up out of my memory: a person was using their PC when a coworker came up asking for a copy of a spreadsheet and handed the first person a floppy disk. That person took the disk, inserted it into the PC, then launched Lotus 1-2-3, loaded the file, and then saved it to the floppy. The second person was incredulous that the first person just didn't copy the file directly from the hard drive to the floppy. The first person replied, "you can do that?"
My guess is something sensible like this would have zero chance of happening in the USA. It would be killed by the Real Estate lobby before a single pen hit paper.
Why would you expect a state-funded news agency to dissent from the official positions of its government on key political matters.

I'm not looking to RT for useful coverage of issues in the Ukraine, but when it writes about the Flint Water crisis or police brutality, it might actually have a less biased view than the American press. I hope this isn't actually the case but I fear it may be.
Interesting thought.

According to wiki, the printer used 10cpi though. Which suggests 132 columns plus margins on 14" paper. But that still doesn't answer why 132 and not 130 or 136 or whatever.

Other variants of the printer had 100 columns (11" paper?) or 120 columns (what size paper?).

Edit: Looking for more details on paper sizes for the 1403 printer, I find that the 132 column model was capable of simultaneously printing up to eight 1.5" adding machine tapes (13 chars per tape), or up to four 3.1" adding machine tapes (29 chars per tape), with a few columns lost due to margins and spacing between the tapes. Perhaps that was a factor in determining the 132 value?

It's really, really not easy to stand up for the rights of Nazis. If you're a Nazi, you can use voat.co as they are very free speech oriented. You don't have to be a Nazi to participate, but it's a good idea to have a thick skin if you do go there.

I go there and talk to the White Nationalists. They are pretty much Nazis. They know I'm not white and that I don't agree with them. They don't scare me. They are scared and powerless, looking for meaning in their empty lives, easily swayed, and not entirely unaware of some of the ironies.

I've actually invited a few of them to my home, but no takers so far.

Point is, I'm not sure banning does any good. Reddit can legally do so. I still think there's a better way to deal with the mentally ill and disenfranchised.
So they banned Far_Right but https://www.reddit.com/r/farleft/ is ok?

What a cool place Reddit is! /s
Hmm. This is going to be interesting. I mean, nearly everyone should be fine with banning Nazis. After all, they're vile and in my opinion don't deserve any place on the world except the inside of a jail cell...

The problem is: where will the line be drawn? What about Black Lives Matter? The more, uh, militant parts of the Antifa movement? Militant animal rights groups (which actually are treated as domestic terrorist groups in some countries!)? All advocate, tolerate or embrace violence in some degree, and as there has been the precedent case of Nazis getting banned, it's going to be difficult.

Of course one can say "we simply don't like Nazis, so we're stricter on them", and I'm fine with that, but I'm not sure if a new (or, for what it's worth, also current government) can't more or less force providers like Reddit (but also Cloudflare and the others who booted Daily Stormer off the net) to revive the "good old Red Scare"...

edit: to clarify, for BLM I don't mean that BLM promotes violence - but there are certainly supporters who believe violence or, in one case, murdering cops, being legitimate (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_shooting_of_Dallas_police...). I don't like it myself that the right wing was able to frame BLM as "taking part in the murder", but that image is not going to be corrected soon.

Naively, alert his bank that he was stealing money from everyone and share the PayPal email with them. I wasn't aware at the time that I could take the matter to small claims court. PayPal offered no assistance as far as laying out what my options were. They were fine with it, it seemed. Zero on actual customer "care."
Australia's policy is weak with regards to enforcement and penalties; NZ's may or may not end up being more effective.

Agreed that foreign speculation is at most only part of the problem and that the drivers you mention are a large part of it, but you missed out the other significant factor in the "cultural" inclination to invest in property, which is that the favourable taxation policies (CGT discount, negative gearing, family home CGT exemption) and benefit policies (family home exemption from pension means tests) drive money into property.

In NZ's case it's even worse as there's close to no capital gains tax on any property speculation (no requirement to actually live in a property to claim it as an owner/occupier style non-investment property).
I don't think it has as extreme an impact as the people posting images of a self-service menu imply it does. I will concede that a lot of my aversion to the argument is from the disdain for people with lower-class jobs that I read into it.

But while I agree there is an impact, I also don't think we should avoid automation simply to have someone doing a mindless job if it could effectively be automated. People don't necessarily need jobs, they need the resources that having a job allows them access to.
When I entered grad school it was. Then the Soviet Union died, and the market, already awash in a large number of Ph.D.s in physics suddenly transformed into something that I could not effectively compete in.

To some degree, you are measured, as a student/postdoc, by the number of highly rated papers in good journals that you produce, as well as citations, invitations to speak, etc. All of this factors into how high in the stack you will rise.

When I was looking at applying for tenure track positions, I was hampered to a degree, by being in a group that didn't publish often (and of course, as a student, I couldn't push my advisor to publish more ... she had tenure already). So I had a couple of good papers, but nothing compared to these senior folks from FSU, with 20+ years experience, many Phys. Rev. Letters, and other top journals. And hey, to make it even more fun, they were willing to work for less than the newly minted Ph.D.s.

I don't blame them. Would have done the same thing in their shoes. We are better off for them having come here and advanced physics.

But to the younger me, thinking ... damn ... this ain't fair ... it wasn't so obvious at the time.

I made a conscious decision to go into industry, knowing full well that it ended my hopes of landing a job as a prof. I've had a few side research associate prof gigs to teach HPC programming or work in a CS group (not bad for an ex-physics guy), and for the most part, they were fulfilling.

This is a hard choice to make though. All grad students and post docs need to know what awaits them in the world. Don't, as in never, believe anyone ever telling you about shortages. Assume that they have an agenda.

I was part of a cohort to whom the NSF exhorted the looming shortage of scientists for staffing physics positions (mid 80s). I was both naive enough to believe them, and foolish enough not to do my own research.

I would have gone in a different direction, had I known what I learned later. One more pragmatic. Likely Math or CS.

My recommendation to younger versions of me, my wife (also an ex-physicist, now a math/physics teacher in a local high school) would be to look carefully at how the world is moving toward some things and away from others. Estimate where we will be in N years when you finish up, and try see if something you think you would like to do aligns with something people are willing to pay for. Make sure you are flexible enough to change, and you can adapt as needed. Learn how to learn, learn how to think, learn how to move beyond your comfort zones. Learn how to communicate, how to sell (not necessarily things, but ideas). Learn what value is.

Then when you get to be an older fart, responding, slightly wistfully, to posts on HN, you can pass along your own experiences, thereby, hopefully, helping someone to optimize their own journey.

I think there is a lot to be said for the simplicity of the erlang model. It's not just about stopping a thread from hogging the cpu. The OS doesn't have a good idea when to wake threads up, so they are effectively polling needlessly.

I do scala/akka in my dayjob and the amount of time we spend tweaking threadpools (execution contexts) and retesting just to get okay performance is insane. You wear a pretty big cost when you layer on abstractions like that.
Foreign investment is not the root cause of a growing population being drawn to city centers with limited land.
IIRC the temperature of the H2O doesn't change until the bonds have changed. There is a state of constant temperature during this phase change, often referred to as a temperature plateau. Therefore it melts @ 32F (assuming 1 atmosphere of pressure) after that the temperature of the liquid water will rise, but not until it has already melted.
They didn't ban all Nazis. They banned subreddits that posted content (not comments) advocating violence. That included one or two "nazi" subreddits. The article says this in the first paragraph.

That said, thanks for trying to find positive ways to deal with things.
It doesn't happen too often - but I've had that happen several times, actually. Just like people might pretty much hire you (or invite you to substantially greenlighted interview process - sans whiteboarding or over-the-phone grilling) solely on the basis of a talk you gave, or an impromptu discussion about some topic you're insanely interested in, after meeting you at some event.

Granted, this has been for gigs (or temp-to-perm) situations, not official, up-front fulltime roles. And some of these people ended up being flakey or sketchy (as spontaneous / whimsical people sometimes are). But nonetheless, hired (or substantially fast-tracked into their process, bypassing most of the usual interview crap) - pretty much on the basis of single demo or code sample (or in one case, literally on the basis of a single stats plot).

Because by this point, pretty much everyone knows how silly those live fizzbuzz sesions are anyway - including those administering them.
That's not true, and it's not true in a totally fascinating way. The flu shot is aimed towards a projected virus, based in part on last year's viruses, but also on a host of other things. The nitty-gritty on it can be highly technical (and highly interesting, if you're into that sort of thing!), but here's a nice overview that should give the lay-person a broad idea of how it's done:

> If, as a manager, you do more of the latter: be afraid

As a gardener, I have never feared a robot that could pull weeds. As a home-maker I have never feared a robot that could wash dishes. As an inventor, I have never feared a robot that could draft diagrams. And yet those people who are at the mercy of the market fear, and this is why, I believe that capitalism is headed for either disaster or elimination. Capitalism has created a problem which does not exist.

Post-scarcity is only a problem in capitalism.
"Always enjoyed this Churchill quote - from 1909!"

This is not an accurate assessment of the present state of affairs. Rental income in the United States is taxed at the federal and state level and rental licenses (as well as other licensing) is levied at the local level.

This is not to mention the property taxes that are paid by the landlord - which can be significant.

Your landlord is contributing to the general welfare in a great many ways.

I'm sure these bans will be totally fair and unbiased.
Yet somehow this "integrated state propaganda machine" manages to write better journalism about many issues of concern to the least powerful Americans than the American press.

I don't disagree with your characterization, but I'd also characterize cable news, the NYT, WaPo, etc. that way. These big "news and entertainment" companies do not offer any meaningful political dissent whatsoever.
When those groups draw enough ire to affect ad revenue, they will be banned. There are no philosophical debates in the boardrooms of corporations, so let's stop pretending like these moves represent some kind of moral stance.
TOP's policies with regards to taxation were very interesting; no change in overall rate of taxation but broadening the tax base in such a way that would have significantly increased the tax on assets and decreased it on income. Too painful for the National base to take on and too radical for Labour to consider (even though it would significantly benefit their base) though.
