"A lot" is not equivalent to "most".
I think there may be something to this. Though perhaps a better term than "rebuttal" is "backlash". The conservative backlash has long been mooted by social commentators.

It's likely a large cohort of Trumps voters were those who were incensed by "central government interfering in local affairs", in particular the case of Kim Davis springs to mind.

Never mind that Trump doesn't exactly embody conservatism, I'd imagine a large amount of conservative voters, alarmed by social progress would have voted him out of spite.

Of course, now I like to think that the current wave of high-profile sexual impropriety cases is similarly a sparked by the more socially liberal sectors of society against the misogyny embodied by Trump and the socially conservative segments.

I noticed a few mondegreens (misheared words) from foreign languages used here, like per say instead of French/Latin per-se, which is by itself, in case you wonder. I suspect the bigger half [sic!] of all language originated like that.
It is very much a security tool, it has some bad defaults but otherwise the theory is sound and safe.

I'm not sure it is. You start off in a position where you don't have the device, and you either go to website A or website B to buy it (leaving aside details where you already may have an Amazon account).

With the IE case, you start off in a position where you already have a browser and you have to perform an extra step to get a different one.

I would suggest that the author is attempting to use the "thinking past the sale" strategy to influence people, and it's causing cognitive dissonance in the readers who disagree with his position.

The typical reader's mind is actively open to learning PL/SQL. To do so, and to follow the examples as is, their mind has to at least provisionally accept the author's viewpoint in order to understand the concept that the example was designed to teach.

When the "false" belief is rejected (for whatever reason), there is a reasonable chance that the example, which was visually and mentally tied that belief, will be rejected, or only provisionally accepted, which could leave the reader feeling like they haven't got their money's worth.

Bland and vague things are accepted as true and assimilated into worldviews much more easily than controversial things, which might be why most examples are boring.

After the War on Drugs: Blueprint for Regulation (2009)
Ah! you've hit the nail on the head why the pro gun people are so adamant about not giving an inch to any sort of increased regulations. Most on the pro gun regulation left do not seem to be able to even fathom why closing the gun show loophole is a non-starter or how there can be push-back against banning guns for people on the terrorist watch list. It's because either are effectively turning the burner on very very low.
Actually it is possible to get cheap MIPS stuff, not only in anonymous Android devices but also (m)atx boards Lemote produce for the CCP (for obvious reasons).
In practice, the rewrites that I have seen, are not limited to just function bodies, without changing interfaces and class structures.

What I see in refactoring is that whole blocks of code get an overhaul. And in that case, all the test you wrote on those interfaces need to be adapted, rewritten or removed.

So actually, in a proper refactoring, some tests might help you out, because the interface of the classes didn't change. But other tests cost you time.

It's all a pretty complex balancing act. Some tests save you time, some cost you time. They all make the code more stable, but you have to put your effort where it really makes sense.
I don't use the forwarding service to send. I use it to forward incoming mail to FastMail, and in FastMail I just fake the sender address when sending e-mail.
There is absolutely no difference between what you and I said. The Post Office does limit the priority of a business delivery unless that business pays a premium (express delivery).

The reason this doesn't goes terribly is that there is business competition between the Post Office and FedEx, DHL, etc.

The problem with the internet is not the lack of neutrality, it's the lack of competition between ISP.

And you assume that small businesses will be kept out. I see the exact opposite happening in Europe where net neutrality is more lax. Small startups are making agreements with ISPs to provide services that need a level of QoS that wouldn't be possible with net neutrality in place.
My 2 cent (classical armchair analysis):

It seems to me that some of these discussions are mostly dominated by irrationality. This is particularly recognizable in the US, but also occurs in Europe to a degree that varies from topic to topic and country to country.

I believe there are two major factors at play. First, certain topics concern taboos that are still strong even in secularized societies. To these belong anything concerning human sexuality and some religious views. Second, certain topics have simply been hijacked by politicians, because they need positions that differentiate them from other politicians in a world in which most problems can and need be solved in a technical way. Criminal justice, gun laws, drug laws, healthcare, and climate change are such topics in the US. The discussion of these topics in the US barely makes any sense, because at least certain aspects of the problems related to them have perfectly objective solutions. But then US Democrats and Republicans would essentially defend the same policies and only differ on technical details, and that's not compatible with US election cycles.

A third 'problem' is perhaps a self-imposed and socially imposed limitation of freedom of speech that is particularly strong in developed humanist societies. What e.g. many US gun nuts really want to say is that the freedom of owning a gun outweighs the deaths by gun accidents and amok runs with guns, because freedom is such a high good and they like guns. A politician is not allowed to say that, however, and so the value ordering behind the policy is hidden behind insincere arguments that merely serve as a pretext. This happens everywhere, not just in the US, of course. I don't think this third issue is a problem, as it merely illustrates how evolved the societies are already. The social pressure is there for good reasons and fulfills an important role. (You don't want people starting rational arguments for introducing slavery, because it would lower their production costs. It's good when society endorses values that sanction such arguments even when they are purportedly rational.)

To make this clear, these phenomena occur everywhere in the Western industrialized world. Democratic politicians have run out of political positions, because most problems could be solved by experts and have one or more good technical solution.

(Note: In this post I mean 'technical' in the sense of τέχνη, as in 'technocracy', concerning instrumental means-end rationality.)
I'm still confused (starting to fill with regret?) about bitcoin. I remember lively discussions with friends circa 2012. None of us bought. We'd be centi-millionaires?

Is HN now full of mega-millionaires, since the community is full of tech-savvy early adopters?

Raise your hand if you made over a million. Raise both hands if you've made over 10 million.
I'm not sure I'd agree.

Take for instance what Bunnings has done to the Mitre 10 brand.

The moment there's a lower price that's at least as convenient and serviced, we're gone.

Another point of anecdata is what Amazon and other overseas stores have done to local stores.

Loyalty by older generations perhaps, but younger generations can see how much we've been screwed by local retailers for years.

E: the reason Starbucks failed was because they sold American style coffee, which not enough people like. Cafe culture is incredibly picky about exactly how to make good coffee, so all the chains that hire uninterested inexperienced kids off the street all have problems in places where there's a lot of quality coffee.

The Portuguese dabbled with the right but about 40 years ago they decided to try it another way.

Spectrum – An audio visualization implementation on GPU
> appreciate situation complexities and cultural differences?

Laws come from culture but culture and attitudes also comes from laws.

I agree these complexities can't be ignored, but when I argue (perhaps less bluntly) that e.g. "The US should just ban handguns and implement single payer healthcare because it obviously works everywhere else"

Then what I mean is that with stricter gun laws, perhaps the culture and attitudes surrounding guns can be slowly changed. I'm not saying "if you change gun laws you'll see a positive effect on gun deaths within 5 years". I'm arguing that if the US changes gun laws perhaps there will be significant improvement in (just!) a couple of generations.

Hmm, interesting. A shadow ban. I agree that my first comment was too without substance. However, I feel that the entire thread was rather without substance.

I don't really see the problem with the second comment though, or how it is going "full Hitler". Godwin's law doesn't apply to discussions that are literally about WWII. Yes, it may be negative, but is negativity wrong in of itself it if my negativity is backed up by rational discussion?

Your assumption that the number of countries is more important than the proportion of people absolutely doesn't make sense to me.

Is 80% of countries representing 20% population more meaningful 20% countries representing 80% population? (Arbitrary numbers to illustrate my point.)
I realise this is quite pedantic but I think measuring "covered population" is more relevant than measuring administrative repartition especially with the Schengen factor.

Of course there's progress to be made either way but can you explain to me in what way my heuristic isn't appropriate to you?

JSON could be parsed as a term by Prolog, with suitable priority/associativity definitions for the comma, colon, and curly brace operators.

For CSV, you could write a DCG grammar for the particular file format at hand.

Integration with a relational DB, itself being based on logic, would be very different. Most Prologs have APIs to map tables to predicates.
And in russia banning gay marriage didn't just stop gay marriage, there aren't even any gays! 100% success rate obviously.
Seems like getting 30% of countries in the EU (and thus 90% of the population) to legalize it is a great use of resources.

You keep harking on about the 70% number, and maybe that works with a certain demographic of people but it reads as pretty transparent here. 90% of the EU living in countries that respect Gay marriage is a great thing, and is the most concentrated acceptance of gay marriage in the world. But hey, boo Europe!

In the case of Bitcoin, that is a really cheap shot.

Most of us here are in tech, and I found out about Bitcoin when it was at $1. (which was already late according to some).

And about the play money, I hope everyone here has $50 that they would not miss that much if it would suddenly disappear.

Buy $1 bitcoins for $50. You do the math.
In Europe, the Samsung models are based on Exynos, which are unlockable via Developer Options menu. Then you can basically flash whatever you want, and if it isn't signed by Samsung, it will blow the Knox fuse, and that's it.

Huawei, Xiaomi and HTC allow for unlocking via their webpages.

So I would say, that the biggest vendors are covered.
First there's no practical way btc can be deflationary given the current interest. The currency pool hasn't kept up with the amount of fiat in the markets at all.

Anyway, second part:

https://bitinfocharts.com/top-100-richest-bitcoin-addresses.... is a good list. What you're looking for are wallets with a really early first in and no first out (or not one in a really long time).

#4 is a good one! https://bitinfocharts.com/bitcoin/address/1FeexV6bAHb8ybZjqQ... This wallet was last touched in 2011 and has $1,008,433,581.88 in it (yes, ba-ba-billion) Either this is the most disciplined investor ever or it's a lost file.

This person dropped $1,000 in 2010 on a few btc and it's now worth $245million (https://bitinfocharts.com/bitcoin/address/1PeizMg76Cf96nUQrY...) ... again, that's either super discipline or just a misplaced file.

The untouched wallets are sadly really really common, especially when you get a few pages in ... you see things like this: https://bitinfocharts.com/bitcoin/address/13DyBwhpDw6152q1dr... ... this person put in $8 (100btc), then $21 (400), then $122 (1700) and that was their july, 2010. Now it's $26.3 million.

Nobody ever believed the fantasy talk in 2010 that 1 btc was going to be worth a dollar, yet alone 12,500! Lots of people were really careless.

I'm there somewhere and have millions of dollars of bitcoins in a lost wallet. Weee, how fun!

Having personally dug hundreds, perhaps thousands of those evil little fuckers out of the sands of beaches all over the world, I would say that gram for gram these are one of the worst kinds of pollution man has created.

Plastic shopping bags are a real bitch when they get into the sand. They often fill up with sand and become like a 10kg buried beachball. One literally needs to dig completely under them to get them out without tearing them up and leaving part of the bag under the sand. All of those plastic bags basically glue together the beach so that the normal erosive action of the sand being moved around by tides and waves no longer grinds things up like it normally would. That means the whole beach gets stagnant and rotten like a swamp. Really nasty.

But this is the main reason why Surface RT bombed in 2012: Microsoft sold it as a "Windows" tablet - the connotation being that users could run Steam and Chrome on it, not specially-compiled apps running in the anemic Windows Store App sandbox.

I appreciate things are different now in 2017 with x86 emulation (or dynamic translation) and the ability for most Win32 programs to be repackaged as *.appx - but Microsoft misses the implication to consumers again: users expect the freedom to install and download software from wherever - just like their x86 desktop machines. No-one is asking for an iOS style App Store for Windows and it's starkly visible by how poorly the Windows App Store is still doing.

Cynically, I suspect everyone at MSFT is well-aware of this and they fully expect Windows 10-for-ARM to sink for these exact reasons, they're just doing this as a repeat of their protest moves to remind Intel not to take their x86 monopoly for granted, and the addition of x86 support is a particularly bloody (but ultimately harmless) fist to the nose.

I'll point out that there is a very obvious use-case for Windows-on-ARM: low-power rackmountable/high-density server hardware for applications like web-servers and IO (not CPU)-bound database servers. No need for a 300W Intel Xeon box, or even a 150W Intel Core i7 - a 20W ARM chip will do. If Microsoft announced a no-shit, just-like-x86 SKU of Windows Server with no artificial restrictions with the same 10 year support period then I guarantee that Dell and SuperMicro would jump at building and shipping ARM servers - but this hasn't happened, instead we got a ridiculously impractical "Windows IOT" SKU which feels more like a toy than the basis for business critical infrastructure.

Server applications are much easier to port to ARM than desktop applications, given their lack of dependence on hardware associated with x86, like 3D graphics acceleration - or just users' expectation that a single executable binary should work everywhere. Servers are operated by businesses with professional sysadmins who know how to rebuild open-source applications for their machines or at least know the difference between downloading a program lablled "Thumb-2" vs "x64". Furthermore probably most server applications run on Java or .NET and can be trivially ported over to ARM.

The fact we haven't seen a true Windows Server ARM means that we can immediately dismiss consumer-level releases of desktop Windows for ARM for now.
This is the nub of the net neutrality argument for me.

We don't need to "start something different" we just need to ensure that what's there can still be used for both corporations, and the public at large.

Yes, as an HPC admin, let me foretell how it will go here at our research group.

Me: Oh look this is fascinating! We have a worthy competitor to intel processors and we can do our work way faster. Let's get this!

Boss: Ok, tell me why one of this costs more than all of our other servers put together?

Me: But, it is so much better, it does blah, blah and more blah.

Boss: Do we really need it? What would we save by getting this instead of the commodity servers we normally buy. May be we should look into making our code work better with GPUs instead?

Me: ..........

Don't get me wrong. I think this really is fascinating. Just for the HFT traders and the top 1% buyers of exotic hardware. Not to an average HPC shop like ours, until the economy of scale and premium catches up to value.
Companies will improve the algorithms and go low level with hardware instructions. The problem with GPUs is that they have special instructions for some operations. Not using them can be 20 times slower. You are not going to improve the algorithms 20 times, ND if you do you can still improve it another 20 times with hardware instructions. You do both if you can. That is a big saving in electricity in data centers.
