> Ah, yes, my assumption is that you can derive the same amount of motivation with a non-evil beneficiary by just jacking up the amount at risk. Like donating $1 to the KKK is extremely aversive but you're equally motivated to avoid giving, say, $1k to a neutral 3rd party.

Is there any evidence to support this theory? Seems like the existence of tools that offer anti-charity donations indicate that for at least some people, this assumption is incorrect.
Correct. Police, firefighters and prison guard unions are good unions protecting us. Teachers unions are bad unions indoctrinating our youth with leftist ideology.

That may explain why in the city I live in, the minimum educational requirements for the police 'academy' is a GED.
Such a thorough and well written write up.

Yes, i was talking about rust and haskell. How many architectures out there that don't have llvm backend but only gcc?(excluding the microcontrollers with very little RAM(<1M))
I, uh. I think Apple has enough money to hire artists and developers. Their net profits in 2016 were high enough to buy Iceland.
Especially considering that Apple is also the wealthiest company. So it should be expected that they should pay (or nearly pay) the highest taxes.
For each medical condition, there exists a wide range of treatment options, all varying in efficacy, convenience, pain, risk, and cost. If cost were no consideration, why should anyone not get the most costly treatment available, even if it is only a minor improvement?

$100. And even then it depends on your skin color and where this is being called into question.

It's more plausible to have $10000 in your pocket in Vegas than $1000 in the South Bronx.
Sorry, I'm not interested in playing "bring me a rock" with you. You can do your own research. If you discover something important, let me know. But until then, I stand by my opinion that the rideshare market has low barriers to entry.
Just for the record, the first linked article from spiegel.de is not about Daimler and Tesla, but about Daimler and Deutsche Post (the former federal Postal Service, no a semi-private company). The latter has just recently developed its own electric delivery truck, and Daimler rented a demonstration vehicle via a letterbox company, but got caught by a GPS tracker in the car.

I think it would help if you bring it up on the Django-developers mailing list, if you haven't yet. I think that would help raise awareness about the issue, and I hope it would lead to some policy changes.
Awesome idea! I just did this myself. Since I have a Google Voice number, I set this as the "default" voicemail greeting, and use my own voice for anyone in my contacts.

They are certainly interesting and most have nothing but kind intentions. They lead interesting but dangerous lives. I like chatting with them in measured doses but wouldn't want to hang out with them for long. There's a lot of fighting, a lot of yelling, a lot of drugs of questionable formulation, a lot of untreated mental illness, etc. But, they often know a lot about the areas where they roam and have fun stories.
> Performance: In this update we continued to improve performance. Solution load times for large C# and Visual Basic projects is nearly cut by half. The time to switch between debug and release is significantly reduced. It is faster to add, remove, and rename files and folders in .NET Core projects. Project templates should now unfold much faster than before. In the most exceptional cases, you can see up to a 40x improvement in unfold time.

Well, Americans do like changing things .. with words and zero action.
>Fortunately you're wrong. In reality, the US is one of the 20 least corrupt nations on the planet,

As someone who's lived in several states I think there's a lot of variability. Corruption tends to follow population density and money.

If the brother of a cop or court official beat me to near death in a bar brawl I would not expect the court to sentence him to jail time. Fifty miles and one state border north of here I would expect jail time. Fifty miles and two counties west of here I'd give it 50-50.

>The US also has rare universal Congressional support for ending civil asset forfeiture abuses. Jeff Sessions undid some of the fixes the Obama Administration made; it turns out that might have been ideal, as Congress is now going to put it down for good by law.

I fully support legislation to obstruct or get rid of civil asset forfeiture (every bit helps) but I would fully expect that within a month my state would use it as an excuse to double all the fines for everything else to make up for it, not that we even make a lot of money off of it, just that it's an excuse to raise the fines.

There was also this point that was phrased as a comparison to python but I think works equally as well for choosing rust over c:

> In addition to performance concerns, Python is also hindering us because it is a dynamic programming language. Mercurial is a large project by Python standards. Large projects are harder to maintain. Using a statically typed programming language that finds bugs at compile time will enable us to make wide-sweeping changes more fearlessly. This will improve Mercurial's development velocity.

Not trying to be a jerk, but calling it "[your] design" is a strong characterization. It's called proportional representation, and used in (...quick Wikipedia check...) 87 countries around the world already. Not saying it's a bad idea. It's just not a new one.

One downside to PR is that you lose the sense of having "my representative" in Congress. When an Illinoisian (to use your article's example) disagrees with a policy, who do you call? Each of the 18 representatives on the two party lists? Maybe.

(and yes, I would concede that with extreme gerrymandering, the geographic sense of "my representative" is also dead in lots of places now... though at least you have a person to call and hold accountable)

An alternative -- that was recently passed by voter referendum in Maine -- is the Single Transferrable Ballot (or ranked voting), which retains single-member districts, and opens the door for greater than two parties, even with voters choosing strategically.

I'd be curious to see a comparison between the accuracy of this new technology and good old-fashioned eyewitnesses (who are working from memory) and hand sketches done by a human artist. I wouldn't assume that this is less accurate than the human approach.
I think the question is a correlation versus causation question that sociology seems to have a hard time answering so far. Our society's increasing relative aloneness (to past societies, especially) is definitely correlated to a sense of the strong nuclear family as the preferred household unit (over various sorts of multi-generational or clan/tribe household units).

This article posits two causations, with ideas like the 50s suburban American dream (of advertisers) causing a stronger focus on nuclear family as household unit, and the stronger focus on nuclear family as household unit as a causation for increased relative aloneness.

If those posits are correct, then yes a case can be made that you can directly blame the modern conception of strong nuclear family as household unit for the general trend of relative aloneness.
If you are acquitted after being arrested, does that make your arrest a kidnapping?

The government ultimately has to prove its case in court, but they can’t predict with certainty how a judge and jury will rule. If they lose, they give the money back.

People really dont understand how accesisble buying crypto is in comparison to typical asset classes, specially outside the U.S.

To open a brokerage account in argentina, you have to physically go to an office to sign up, and pay thousands of dollars upfront to just open an account.

Banks are also a hassle to open an account at, since they charge you 20-50U$S a month plus comission charges are in the 4-5% on funds.

Bitcoin was great because it was also an easy way to receive funds as a kid (circa 2010).

Not being regulated has been the greatest advantage to the crypto market.
I think the context in the article here is "nuclear family [as household unit]", with the elided part in square brackets implied. So there may be no reason in general to consider the nuclear family an island unto itself, but this article is referring to the trend to think of a nuclear family as a household unit (island) unto itself.
I wonder if this would put higher paid experienced people at a disadvantage as companies often use your previous salary as a reference for how much you are worth. Maybe you are not so good on your interviews but in the actual job you perform well so you are paid a higher salary.
Starting to think those 50 pesos the Mexican police took from me were civilly seized as part of an investigation I'm unaware of.

I must have like a dozen civil asset forfeiture cases open in Mexico.
The entire global anti money laundering system disagrees with you. The digital equivalent of physical seizure, freezing bank accounts, happens on the basis of well-premised suspicion all the time. We would have no chance of denying money to organized crime otherwise.
It makes no sense for the jury to look at the sketch when you have the DNA from the crime scene and can directly compare it to the DNA from the accused person.

The discussion is not about people randomly buying things higglety-pigglety. The specific point is "Doesn’t this completely undercut the idea of bitcoin as currency?" It does.

Currencies are well-studied economic entities. So are investments. They have different purposes, and people behave differently with respect to them. You can feign ignorance of the two all you like, but that does not erase the difference.

> Nobody says "I'm only getting a appetizer because if I invest the money instead this $20 will be worth more next week."

People in fact do that all the time. People spend less so they can invest more. They trade currency for an asset whose value they expect to appreciate. If that asset does indeed appreciate, they are far more likely to hold onto it than cash, especially if they expect to it to appreciate yet more.

I gave you a specific example of a prominent investor and Bitcoin advocate shifting from treating Bitcoin as a currency to treating it as an investment. Which you ignored, just like you're ignoring basics facts about finance.
entitled prick.
> Randomized controlled studies have little to no scientific value

Really? How would you convince me that, say, Nivolumab is a better treatment for cancer than the current standard of care? I doubt you have something better than a randomised controlled trial, given there is international acknowledgement that this is the gold standard - the only thing to top it is several RCTs spanning several centres and countries.

>Too easy to report random results

Subgroup analysis is always taken with a pinch of salt.

>impossible to control for all factors

Well that's the point of a randomised controlled trial. The 'controlled' part is 'randomised'.

>sample sizes never remotely large enough

For what?

>Psychiatric theories can’t be falsified, making them not science.

Not sure what question you have in mind, but the question "Does anti-psychotic medication 'A' improve overall survival in patients diagnosed with refractory schizophrenia" is certainly a question that can be tested in a scientific way.

I'm not a psychiatrist, but your comments don't make sense.
I've been speed reading for about 5 years. Yes, I highly recommend it. Like touch typing, it's something you wonder how you lived without.

The bottleneck is comprehension though. Most speed reading techniques don't cover it. Learn to visualize and grasp concepts quickly.

Speed reading also helps a lot in comprehension in that if you can skim the entire book you've already understood the gist of what the book is about.

Just don't expect to read books much faster. The best books should be read slowly. If you're reading one book a day, you should question whether that book was worth reading.

Please point me to the place where I might find the latter half of the population you've described.

They’re in places where they are unlikely to run into travellers from far away lands. Duh, if they were in a position to meet a more diverse set of folks, perhaps their views might be different. The extreme stereotype of this is the “hillbilly” living a holler no one visits, and which they’ve never wandered far from.

Nobody - (excuse my language) fucking nobody - wants two million people in prison.

My 2 year old wanted just one Christmas present. I think that if I had not been a "dumb American" and if I had played with her and the toy instead of urging her to open another present, she would have been happy with one toy for Christmas for years. Deeply satisfied, and blessed full.

>Sorry, got lost about the second paragraph: are we talking about cops like the ones in the article, or the Mafia?

You’ve ignored the entire substance of the argument and produced a retort that people who agree with you will like. I think that accomplishes nothing but lower the standard of discourse and miss an opportunity for mutual understanding.
If the police didn't blatantly seize assets , you wouldn't need to hide & fail to mention a sizeable amount of cash. Taking advantage those who, post-seizure, cannot afford to make a case for themselves is the opposite of "to protect & serve". Isn't it?

In the UK we don’t have motels as such. We tend to have Bed And Breakfast guest houses. Much smaller affairs. They can end up having the same use though as we have a growing precariat too.

There is some, perhaps better, provision for state funded emergency housing over here but claiming any kind of perfection would be very wide of the mark. It can still leave whole families in single rooms for long periods of time.

I've been refining an Asana workflow for a few years now and am pretty satisfied with it. (I've used GTD in one form or another for nearly 15 years now, and spent the first 10 years searching for the right toolset to keep my lists organized.)

I don't practice strict GTD, but do use most of the elements, and I find Asana ticks nearly all the boxes for me (with just one or two quibbles). It's the first tool I've used that doesn't leave me either spending all day organizing or constantly fighting friction due to a mismatch between tools and workflow.

I was never quite comfortable with Wunderlist, though to be fair it's been a few years since I tried it. What about it isn't working for you?

Yes, and after all, it's not as if learning R will prevent you trying out some models in Excel. In a life-time career, a 40-60 hour commitment for a new string to your bow that is as powerful as R is not a big investment.

They most definitely will not shut up about WWI/II; it's less an explicit verbosity than an assumed (and completely unwarranted) superiority.

I know a bunch of British people who've visited the continent, and the only place they could think of to visit was Normandy, Dunkirk or the Somme. Their entire mental framing of Europe is around the wars, and their grandparents or great-grandparents. And the poppies! Always with the poppies.

Insularity is real and many people, possibly a majority, outside the major metro areas are deeply incurious. The wars are the biggest semantic nodes in their heads associated with Europe, followed swiftly by something about bent bananas from Brussels.
> many of the ruby / python packages I want aren't in the nixos-packages repo yet

They're not difficult to add.

FWIW I've had virtualenvs working pretty well on Nix systems - simply provide the environment with the C-dependencies and `virtualenv` from the `pythonPackages` version you desire. Use that `virtualenv` to create your venv directory and you're pretty much away. Oh and you may have to set the `SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH` environment variable. Pretty much works for me.

Having said that, the whole concept of virtualenvs and for that matter the whole python packaging ecosystem is a series of rather broken ideas.
>It should work this way because it does work this way? What?

You’re just willfully ignoring my argument at this point. It should broadly work this way because it’s proven effective in combating organized crime. Disagree if you’d like, but don’t pretend that I’m not giving a reason.

===============================

Edit: I’m rate limited, but in response to ng12:

I agree that it’s important to keep in mind the balance between civil liberties and effective law enforcement. They are competing and worthy interests necessarily in tension. I think the unique problems of money laundering and illegal money-in-transit justify a system that allows the police, acting on an appropriate level of suspicion (e.g. probable cause), to seize pending further due process.

There is definitely room for reform, especially in how that further due process works, and in creating disincentives for overzealous seizures.

itrontron, law enforcement powers certainly protect civil liberties too, but also necessarily define their limits. Your right to liberty ends where the state’s right to detain you starts. Your right to property extends to where the state’s right to seize it begins. And so forth.

I agree it looks odd but you know what? It's NOT illegal to travel with ANY quantity of cash. No matter how suspicious it looks. The burden of proof of a crime still lies (or should lie but clearly doesn't) with law enforcement.
I see comments like this all the time and it bothers me. When someone disagrees with something online, all of a sudden their bar for acceptance of the idea is peer-reviewed scientific research.

Tell me, where do you draw the line in your personal life for needing scientific evidence before making a choice? Surely you did not have scientific evidence for every single decision you've made.
