It seems like one of the provisions was blocking local stations from jointly negotiating on advertising. I don't know if makes sense to limit broadcast media this way. Google is allowed to buy properties in different markets (search/youtube/mobile/news) to consolidate their position. I suppose now the non-internet media can compete with Google on advertising by consolidating.

Anyway, this is just my take after a cursory glance. Happy to listen to other viewpoints.
Electronics and/or antique cars repairs, also urban exploration.

For electronics I would recommend Louis Rossmann (https://www.youtube.com/user/rossmanngroup/videos ), his videos are quite interesting regarding what's really happening in our machines at a lower level and what makes them tick. He also has really good advice (& rants) regarding life and business which is worth watching even if you don't care about the actual repairs themselves.

For old car repairs I watch https://www.youtube.com/user/mustie1/videos, what this guy is doing is really quite cool.

Also I do enjoy quite a lot of urban exploring videos (the good ones, not the CLICKBAIT GONE WRONG - usually if the title is in caps I don't even bother).

Other than that the usual pranks, fails (Fail Army), etc. Low quality I know but if I fall back to that this means I've exhausted my backlog of good videos and really don't care about what to watch anymore - I just need to kill time or to have some background noise going.
On the flip side, a large 20 story building consisting of apartments, office space and retail places way more demand on terms of city services (i.e. police, fire, transportation, education and other social services, etc.) than an empty lot so it seems to make sense to tax both land value and building value as it is currently done in many places (including California).
> Suppression of opinion implicitly violates the Bill of Rights

NO.

The Bill of Rights are enumerated protections FROM THE GOVERNMENT.

The concept of "Freedom of Speech" is different and more broad than the First Amendment to the US Constitution, but a private entity not protecting it is not a violation of the First Amendment or any other 9. Yes, the double-negative is important.

religion = magical thinking
Pretty much.

The counter-argument goes that people "should know" and be responsible with their money, but I'm not a fan of that argument. It relies on people being perfectly rational actors that they just aren't.

I'm personally in favor of instituting regulation for these things. Even if it is just purely from the "we have to protect the children" angle - children are arguably the main market for these strategies after all.
Re: dog detection - please don't train your neural networks by poking dogs with sticks.
If you’re not doing minimalist bare metal (which will not support exceptions), you’re burdening your users with greater power requirements, bugs, and required firmware updates (or security holes) for the life of the device. Don’t put Linux on there. Make it do the bare minimum it has to do, expose minimal interfaces, and flash it into your MCU forever. Folks who design IoT should be planning for a mean lifetime of 20 years for their products. And no, I’m not going to buy shit that requires me to update firmware on three dozen different things in my house.

Sure, but this assumes that foo is a valid String — just formatted incorrectly for use with an int. If we can't assume that TreeNode constitutes a valid (cycle-free) tree, we essentially have to embed a full cycle-checker in our otherwise simple inversion function. I would argue that goes against the intent of the question.

The issue is not the tax bill. The issue is the exorbitant price for graduate school, and the financial burden schools place on students. At my alma matter, most of the graduates students, across the school, are foreign students. They pay the most. That's the only thing the schools are interested in: more money. I think this tax bill, and other legislation, should clamp down on overcharging graduate students.

I've had this idea to find a way to connect landscapers and homeowners to people seeking to buy yard waste for use in various composts and mulches. What gave me this idea was that I had a tree cut down and chipped in my neighborhood. By simply asking, the guys gave me a huge pile of wood mulch! I gave them $50 as a tip. Had I gone through a mulching company, I would have paid closer to $300. I feel like there are lots of opportunities like this that exist.

Drawbacks: Very seasonal in temperate climates. Getting initial providers. Fluctuations in supply/demand. Some communities process yard waste for free.

Socrates is a man, all men are mortal, not all mortals are Socrates.

Yes, but I'm talking about specific principles, not just species membership. Socrates spoke greek. He lived in Athens. Not all mortals are Athenian, but Socrates surely was an Athenian. There is a specific problem when one deals with people as groups, as in race and class, in that one tends to throw individuals under the bus for not towing the line of the group. Historically, this can number in the tens of thousands or the tens of millions.

"The language allows if-statements and loops" is not sufficient for the language to be Turing-complete. A language with loops in which the only form of selection is "if 4 > 3 then…" is not Turing-complete. Just pointing to a specific if-statement appearing on a card and saying "yeah, that's probably enough to make Magic Turing-complete" does not constitute a proof.

I think you might be confused by the term "language". In the context of the proof, "language" means "anything that is the Oracle text of a card". You seem to be using it as "anything that could be printed on a card". I think you're saying "the game of Magic-but-where-I'm-allowed-to-choose-what-the-cards-say is Turing complete", which is undeniably true but also not the point.
As the other poster stated, this is a snarky dig at Christian doctrine by someone who has never actually examined Christian teaching within the philosophy of religion. I would strongly recommend reading e.g. Richard Swinburne's Responsibility and Atonement (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1989) for a reasonable depiction of Christian belief in this area. There are atheist critiques of the doctrine of the Atonement, of course (and disagreements between Western and Eastern Christianity concerning it), but one has to actually confront the claims in their fullness instead of posting that disingenuous, one-paragraph copy/paste snark.
We have a much bigger problem with overdiagnosis than underdiagnosis, and the latter is not likely to be solved with this sort of scattershot data collection. The former is very likely to be inflamed.

The difference is that you actually hear about the Diagnosis X That Was Missed, but you never hear about That Simple Blood Test That Should Never Have Been Drawn but that Showed Positive for a Marker Common In Disease But Also Found in the General Population so They Needed a Biopsy to Rule Out, and Spent Hundreds or Thousands if Dollars and Lost Several Days of Work For Nothing At All. The latter is much, much, more common.

The “miss” is usually due to missing something in the modern deluge of data coupled to inadequate appointment time/resources, not lack of data availability.

For a real life example: heard about a patient die the other day. Reviewing his records with a student afterwards I saw his potassium had been climbing in his last two panels (though it hadn’t yet gotten high enough to be a red flag), and he didn’t get the blood gas that should have been done as per protocol. Thing is, the data was there, the rules were there, but someone with enough time to meaningfully review it was not. Would more piles of detritus data to sift through made that more likely, or less?

I also remain an ML skeptic for the time being. ML analysis of patient data is a big sophisticated version of retrospective analysis, which for purely statistical reasons is highly, highly unreliable.

I think that depends heavily on the ORM in question. ActiveRecord's SQL can become nightmarishly complicated but the same query in DataMapper looks alot like what might be written by hand.

ActiveRecord is way more expressive than DataMapper, IMHO, particularly if you want to make a fancy query GUI, and it's because of the additional abstractions it builds into its SQL generator.

> opposition to media mergers is not a strict left or right issue

Pardon me, I did not intend to imply it is. My point was in coalitions not always have logical sets of views.

There is no organized coalition against local radio consolidation. For a while, nobody bothered defeating it. Now Sinclair has. Opposition is needed. Unfortunately, nobody cares about local radio. At least not enough to organize.

The only ones defending the old rule--at least when it's come up in New York, California or Arizona, or the limited D.C. circles I'm privy to--are companies fearing its creep. The dominant constituency amongst those companies are the tech majors.

So:

> One long-standing rule repealed Thursday prevented one company in a given media market from owning both a daily newspaper and a TV station

> Another rule blocked TV stations in the same market from merging with each other if the combination would leave fewer than eight independently owned stations

> The agency also took aim at rules restricting the number of TV and radio stations that any media company could simultaneously own in a single market.

Now, let me first say that Trump and Ajit Pal have been, are and will be a disaster for media and broadband regulation. That out of the way, let me say this:

These rules were crafted in an era when we had:

- Local newspapers

- A limited number of more broadly distributed papers (state, national)

- 3 Broadcast TV networks (4 including PBS) where local stations were affiliates.

- The importance of radio for entertainment and news

- Limited market penetration of cable TV and far less channels and content choice than we have today

So compare that to today:

- We can have a virtually unlimited number of TV channels through cable and the Internet

- Radio has a vastly greater array of options through satellite radio (eg Sirius) and the Internet (eg podcasts)

- Newspapers are a dying breed, replaced with online news distribution.

- The barrier to entry to creating, promoting and getting an audience for, say, a local issue blog is comparatively cheap now. Previously it either wasn't possible or was orders of magnitude more difficult.

So it would be foolish to say the the media landscape hasn't changed drastically in 40 years.

Now the devil is in the details here. So if there can be less than 8 independent stations in a market, how many can there be? 6? 4? 3? 2? Because there's a difference.

Honestly there's far more scandalous and outright dangerous things to get outraged about with this administration.
Or, religion is, at least, a form of seeing meaning in things, which is the same category of activity as magical thinking.
>But as far as I can tell, there is nothing about newspapers that makes them a natural monopoly. Why should anyone regulate combinations in that area?

Very, very few regulations are designed with the sole purpose of dealing with natural monopoly. Most are there to prevent some monstrous or dystopian consequence of unfettered capitalism that we as a society have decided is undesirable.

Having a tiny group of wealthy oligarchs own all media, press, acceptable thought in an area is one of those horrifying dystopian consequences that we apply these regulations to prevent.

Be careful any time you see an analysis of media consolidation that ignores the reality on the ground -- the media's unique ability to define and shape public opinion. Such an analysis is either so purely academic as to be not relevant to any actual political or social discussion, hopelessly naive or, worse, willfully ignorant in service of a particular ideology.
> No this is not appropriate. Sites do not 'consume' resources, users do.

You're drawing an arbitrary distinction between push and pull. Nexflix uses resources by sending content in the same way I use resources by uploading a file. Internet communication is a two way street. Far more resources are used when you talk to Netflix than when you talk to the NYT and someone's paying for them. Users don't think it should be them so why not the other end?

> raise the price and invest in more infrastructure as any company with a demand surplus would

Right, so they'll charge extra if you want to use Netflix and use the profits to fund that network. Err... "We charge an additional fee to access sustained video content as that puts a large strain on our network and reduces the quality of service for your neighbors." You could charge everyone more across the board but but that's unfair to people who aren't streaming.

> There is a very clear conflict of interest between ISPs that are also content creators and their content creating competitors.

Perfect, so fix the conflict of intersts and there's no need for NN. If my network oeprator is using QoS I can be reasonably sure it's to provide the best service to everyone.

> They should be dumb pipes.

Not possible. Cross-network traffic is inherantly political and even without that benevolent network operators still need to have policies to mediate allocation of a shared resource. Unless you're paying for a dedicated line between your source and target your traffic is being governed by some set of policies.
> The only ideologies I've heard of Facebook suppressing lately

Conservatives put up a fit when they accused Facebook employees of censoring or otherwise biasing the "Trending Topics" feature to prevent conservative stories from appearing there.

Last I heard, about 2 FB employees were suspended or fired over the story, but that's just from memory so I could be completely wrong. As a result of the accusations, FB reportedly converted Trending Topics to be completely automated. It was probably easier to abuse for coordinated troll armies once it was automated.
I think a lot of people are equating defense of Nazism with defense of free speech.

Hm. Unless closeparen edited their comment, I've very confused, because that's not at all the claim that closeparen made.

In fact, the "all racism is really just a form of classism" is more common in conservative circles than leftist circles.

> So you're saying there's something magically special about the very specific formulation?

No, not at all. It's just one more idea. And it has a name. That name is Marxism. Use each name for the thing that it refers to, and nothing else.

> "Marxism" in such broad-brush terms is certainly not meaningless in any case.

Not really. Marxism refers to the political philosophy laid out in Capital and popularized in texts like the Manifesto. It refers to Marx's synthesis of a bunch of specific ideas -- Hegel's dialectics, materialism, the labor theory of value, commodity form, class warfare, markets, etc. -- some of which were unique to Marx and some of which pre-dated him by centuries. Marxism refers to, you know, Marx's system of thought.

I submit that whatever alternative definition you're proposing is silly and confusing.

> Anyone who throws individual rights under the bus in favor of the interests of the group

It's all fine and well that you're a traditional liberal, but calling everything that's "not you" a Marxist is pretty lazy.
For that matter, a physical digital computer has a bounded number of states it can be in, so it can't be Turing complete at all, if you're going to be really pedantic.

You're only allowed to say MTGO is not Turing complete if you also agree that Java is not Turing complete (because the 32-bit JVM has bounded memory it can access).
Just because there is demand for something, doesn't mean it should be legal. Anyone claiming otherwise is deliberately trying to deceive you or themselves (or truly believes in human trafficking should be legal).

Saying that the market can effectively limit demand for something that was a limited supply (air waves) is VERY different from saying that anything that there is market demand for is good for society or the economy as a whole and should be allowed.

Exactly this. It is a tax on a business based on their sales, and it is demanded whether or not the consumer pays it as a separate line item or not.

That said, it is a common misunderstanding, and it is made more so by companies that advertise "and we'll pay the sales tax!" They are always paying the sales tax, just most times they pass that cost along to the consumer.

Great point, but I don't think "directing our evolution towards not having communities" is a desirable goal. This would make people heavily reliant on the largest corporations and that power dynamic would probably turn out terribly for the common person.
