> Cups are not weird

Yes they are. For example, the article talks about "dark leafy greens (about 5 grams per cup)". Is that cups of dark leafy greens before chopping them up or after? If you specified the amout per weight, it would not make a difference. If you specify them by volume, it does.
Or it just shows that apps need some time to stabilize. The early versions of VC-funded apps are not always great either, to say the least.
I believe that I read something about upgrading the signalling and/or "third rail" electrical systems was part of it, so they can shut the line down in stages behind the last train and reversely in front of the first, rather than having to wait for the train to terminate at the end of the line and stopping as soon as the first train leaves, often up to an hour outside central London. This gives one or two extra hours of work every night which is why they don't need the weekend.

But quoting from memory, could well be mistaken.
The issue I see with adding gov level regulation to Facebook (or any other media) is it very quickly becomes a tool for oppressive regimes.

If Facebook builds in the tools so governments can control exactly what is posted on them then expect every single nation in the world to require access to these tools overnight.

Even nations we might think of as being very condition of the right of their citizens have content they deem illegal and would if they could be required by their own laws to compel Facebook to let them control this.

This, in the end, would not just be about public content but also about all private content, messages sent over FB messenger etc.

Do we want a popover to show up next time we share a hypothetical "dick pick" with a 'lover' saying 'awaiting review from your local authorities'? God forbid you are on holiday/changing planes in a religious extream region of the world and find yourself carted off to jail for 10 years for this.
> only to learn that the "Iris GPU" is not supported
You can use the CPU backend, which has gotten significant optimization since ~v1.2. You can probably use the integrated GPU with the OpenCL backend, but I am not sure it will be faster than a modern AVX2/3 CPU.

I think a stance needs to be taken on certain issues. For example, spelling and grammar are famously well within the domain of ignoramuses demanding that their mistakes and errors be taken as “valid alternatives”, but they cannot be. This kind of stuff, in my mind, should be the same.
Except that any reputable "news source" won't let random people post stories with made up facts - and Wikipedia editors will shoot down disreputable sources such as your personal own blog.
Acela is technically capable of speeds that would be considered "high speed" for a legacy system (which is what this is, it's not like they could tear out New York city and build fresh then put it all back) of over 150mph. Unfortunately lack of investment means it doesn't achieve what is possible along most of the route.

Two main things you'd do if you had money and political will to speed this up:

1. Tear out old bridges (some have been "urgently in need of replacement" for a decade already) and replace with modern ones. Locals like how the old bridge looks? Great, hand over the money for a new one that looks the same. No money? You get a generic reinforced concrete bridge rated for 120mph and suck it up. This can be done in 24 hours per bridge for a short bridge, shut the railway, smash the old bridge, drop the new one in, test it, re-open the railway. If you have the manpower you can do ten bridges at once.

2. Eliminate at-grade crossings. These are unsafe even for lower speeds, they're lethal for High Speed Rail and must be closed. If practical add a bridge or tunnel. If not, too bad, close them anyway and people have to go round.
> Enforce federation by splitting the middle "we actually host users and their walls and their data" company along state lines and international borders, so that they are more beholden to local authorities and jurisdictions.

this would push up the costs massively. Every single state int he US requiring its own data centre. And what do you do if I have a friend in another state and share a post with them? who has the legal power to block that post?
Most petrostates provide at or below market-rate fuel to their citizens.

Norway has some of the most expensive gasoline in the world, due to really high fuel taxes.

They also seem to have been preparing for life after oil from early on, as opposed to other petrostates only beginning to consider it when it becomes obvious that they have to change.
> Public opinion is shaped a great deal by what and in what way the mass media covers a specific topic.

Given that the mass media is in direct competition with FB, I wonder why they haven't destroyed FB already.

There's nothing stopping governments doing this already. Facebook operates financially within their jurisdiction the minute ad transactions with companies and citizens registerd in that territory happen. Governments can cut this off, and it would behove FB to get in front of this.
I won't discount the other utilities of NIR night vision but for the purposes of detecting incoming infantry, it's overkill.

Give me a cheap-ass webcam, a rapsberry pi 3 and a day or two to cobble together an OpenCV beam-detecting program in Python. A day or two more —perhaps with better hardware— and I'll give you GIS-aided positioning. That seems like it would be enough to defend a position.

Even at other wavelengths, the sensor equipment is out there. I'm not sure what the SNR would be like on a varied focus 0.4μm (~bluray) sensor though.
> The likes of Google & FB stand to benefit most from (for example) connecting the last 50% in low income countries. They have the resources to pay for it. Letting them will (at the margin) mean more access for more people. It's hard to argue that for those people, theoretical net neutrality is worth more than net access.

If they stand to gain from more people getting on the internet, they can pay for it right now, without scrapping net neutrality.

The only reason to scrap net neutrality first is to make it possible for incumbents to lock people into their service so new disruptors can't challenge them.

People against net neutrality are either paid or have an extremely naive view of what a "free market" is.
IMO, a game price shouldn't be about how many hours of gameplay it provides...

$30 for a mobile clicker game just seems too much to me. I don't think it holds so much value.

NES games were a lot harder to and took more time to produce (we're talking writing the game in assembly for a lot of them) and had less effective tools at producing content than we have today.

You also had to assembly the cartridge and transport it to the retails. Hardware was not as cheap as today (nor was transport I believe).

Compare that to your 2017 mobile game which can be distributed via internet (very cheap), produced at a high level language, and you can make in less than 2 weeks with less than 4 people.
No, that simply states that the diversity property of the thought is higher, not that the value property of the thought is higher.

And you claimed, quote, "Why assume Group 2 has, or can produce, higher-valued thoughts?"

Value of Thought and Diversity of Thought are two independent properties that can coexist independently.

Most of the rest of the world has "two-block" politics in practice, if not formally. The vast majority of national elections are between two prime minister candidates, whatever the makeup of their underlying coalitions is fairly marginal.

I think the difference in the US is much more fundamental, pluralism is baked in to the culture in a way that is pretty unique anywhere in the world, so people have very strong reactions to members of other tribes seeking authority over them. This has gotten very explicit recently, but the dynamic was always there.
1) You are always someone else's ignoramus 2) It's tough to draw the line on what is acceptable as "enforced opinion" and what isn't. I find the true-neutral alignment of wikipedia much more sound from a public service perspective. I mean they don' hide it, and don't claim to be 100% up to date or accurate.

You should treat them just as containers for data to be serialized. If you require fields to be set on an object, you’re going to want to create a set of classes that enforce those constraints.

Most of these offshore tax shelters are not illegal. It's just shady that wealthy individuals and organizations can stash their millions and billions away from public scrutiny and avoid paying taxes on them.

I have a couple hundreds wikipedia editions. And suddenly someone reverted my change "because it's not like this". So I reverted to my last version, attached links to documentation that I'm right, showed examples etc. Then the same guy reverted that again. And then a couple of other guys came to support him.

Then I stopped editing anything there, and I stopped treating wikipedia as a source of any reliable information.

Even if they make MacOS ARM-compatible, its users will be left with tons of applications that won't work anymore on an ARM-based architecture.

From an outsiders view its the extremely devolved nature of the USA that causes a lot of problems. In a more centrally managed country eg France or the UK if there's a major SNAFU like this quite often the tabloids go on rampage and something gets done.

Similarly with Racist Sheriffs and problems with local police forces happen the Home Secretary can sack the senior police officer in charge.
However, i fail to see what the big deal about it. I have yet to meet a flat earther irl, and i doubt they have great influence over our society.

They are a curiosity at best.

We have way more dangerous and widespread believes.

Like: did you know there is a way to cure malaria ? Cause i had malaria for years and everybody i knew, including my doctors and myself, believed it couldn't be cured.

And then i meet a guy from the pasteur institute (in france you can't get more serious than that, they are the nasa of biology) who told me that they had a perfectly fine protocol to kill the parasite in the liver for years. And using nothing more that regular malaron. So i went to the institute and indeed, they do.

Our society is working on a pile of false informations, obsolete data, incomplete thruths and lies. All with major consequences. It's human nature.

Flat earth it the least important of it. I'd say it's even a good thing cause it helps revealing very confused people or flaws in our educational system.

Statoil arranged a hackathon for this competition at my university (NTNU) where I asked this question. They said that AIS data makes the problem easier to solve, however in addition to not every ship having such a transponder, there are vessels where it is intentionally turned off due to for example illegal fishing or smuggling. When they are unable to identify an object using remote sensing they use airplanes to visually identify the object. More satellites and lower remote sensing costs have resulted in much more data being available, which is why they need to automate their analysis pipeline further.

I see the term liberalism being bandied about when talking about deregulation. I’m not very familiar with politics, but that seems to be something more familiar to the conservatives (republicans), than the liberals; I’m not very comfortable with the attempt to pin deregulation and the rest of it onto the liberals. Enron for instance; http://www.economist.com/node/938154 — shows it as something more in tune to the conservatives. Even in the present USA political climate, the conservatives continue to push for deregulation. I guess what I’m saying is that it reads to me as attempting to pass the buck to the liberals when it actually belongs elsewhere.
Think of it this way:

America without net neutrality is like AOL, and the rest of the world will be what the internet outside of AOL was.
What does "correct a spelling mistake on the Talk page of a subject" mean? Did you:

- Write a comment on the article's talk page about a spelling mistake in the article itself? If so, why not directly modify the article?

- Modify an existing comment on the talk page to correct a spelling mistake in that comment? If so, I can see why that would be seen as étiquette-breaking.

> Merkel was weakened after a September election as voters angry with her decision in 2015 to open Germany’s borders to more than a million asylum seekers punished her conservatives by voting for the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party

She had trouble forming a coalition because her party's share was further weakened after the vote, presumably because of 2015 migration crisis and the rise of AfD, requiring a potential partnership with 2 different parties, at different ends of the political spectrum, in addition to Merkel's.

Maybe start with the junior most dev and move on/up. Pretend you're a noob tech intern.

... so last time I was on the phone with my ISP about the issue of ipv6 availability and after waiting for the surpringly short, yet still infuriatingly long time of 55 minutes, I got a hold of a clueless operator, only to be dropped at exactly the 60 minute mark.

Calling back swearing and pressing all the buttons ( so it had been my third or fourth time trying to get through that day... not so proud of it) yielded a different operator after almost 30 seconds. Judging by the way he handled my call (I didn't continue swearing, the people answering the phone are not at fault for shitty staffing decisions), I can only assume he was specially trained.

( I continue to be unsuccessfull in even having any ISP representing operator understand either what ipv6 even is or comprehend that while they claim it's available, it is not. I continue to not understand how they haven't been trained to be just aware that a thing called "the internet protocol" exists while they work for a company whose primary product is the provision of said protocol. )

On the other hand I discovered a shortcut though their automated phone system. I just don't think the reward system is biased to the bettering of humanity there...
The talk pages are a fine example of holding a hammer and treating everything as a nail. That anyone can edit a page makes it usable as a discussion board, but because anyone can edit everyone else’s comments, there is a need to enforce the extra layer of rules you just described.

Would be much better if talk pages acted like actual chat boards.

I think one of the main reasons F2Ps have become so prominent is that players want something for nothing - sure, you get all these games for free (but then, most players could easily afford $40 for a game they'll spend hours on) but then your weighted cost of development will get offloaded onto either some rich person with too much time on their hands (ethically fine) or someone with chronic gaming addiction or depression who spends all their money on microtransactions (ethically not fine). I'd much rather live in a world where people were just more happy to pay for things they consume - we'd have a lot less exploitative business practices if this were the case.
Yes and no. These arrangements are often grounds for prosecution once they come to light. Just because moving money from A to B and from B to C is legal, it doesn't mean that going from A to C is still legal.

Tax authorities usually struggle to reconstruct the entire chain, so they don't prosecute... until somebody else does the job for them, and then they piggyback.
As you're surely aware, the problem was that you were editing someone else's personal comment. Here, I can't "fix" the spelling, syntax or grammar of the your comment - and I'm sure you're happy about that. On WP, while the software technically allows it, there's a strong social pressure against it. Honestly, your fix was clearly well-meant, so I can see why you felt the response a tad harsh...

It is not a universal premise that anything formally voluntary is good and proper. That's more of a libertarian axiom, isn't it?

Most people recognize that behaviors that can be seen as voluntary agreements between independent parties can still be problematically imbalanced or in need of "regulation."

I still don't understand where the problem is, to be honest.

It's not that political parties didn't advertise their messages in a targeted way before and, as long as both sides are able to target their potential electors, it's normal political propaganda.

(or maybe the problem is "Trump won and we can't just accept that"?)
Governments' accountability to their citizens seems to be weak at the best of time, and giving the government control over the channels used by those citizens to communicate and co-ordinate with each other certainly isn't going to help with that.
