It reminds me of this criticism of anarchy and extreme libertarianism:

http://thinkingofutils.com/2017/04/freedom-bathtub-libertari...

Now onto my own criticism of the author's post:

> The concept of the “majority” is particularly troubling. By always accepting the will of the majority, democracy allows for majorities to have an absolute tyranny over everyone else. This means that in the winner-take-all context of democracy, minorities have no influence over decisions that are made. This is even worse than it seems, since the “majority” in any given situation is usually not even the majority of a population, but actually just the largest group of many minorities.

The U.S. FPTP winner-take all voting system is quite bad, as in any given district or city, and so on, not just a majority of people, but a minority can decide the representative for the whole district in Congress (which in case it's not clear, that's worse than the majority deciding the winner). It's not uncommon for people to become members of Congress with only 35% support of their constituents. I don't know what you call that, but I would say it's hardly democratic. I don't know how FPTP even made its way on the list of voting systems to be used in democratic countries.

As for addressing the similar criticism of majority rule in a democracy, there are ways to mitigate the problem of (real) minorities not having their concerns addressed at all, and that's also with more representative voting systems rather than winner-take-all voting systems.

For instance, with STV, you could elect 3-5 different representatives, each from a different party or independent. I think it would be way better in terms of addressing certain minorities' issues than the existing FPTP winner-takes-all voting system where either a Republican or a Democrat gets to represent a certain district for typically ~20 years (the long time periods are caused by both FPTP -- easy for the biggest party locally to continue winning -- and gerrymandering). Governments would have to be formed with coalitions, which means it usually won't be possible to form a majority government without taking the minority parties' or the groups of indepndents' concerns into account.

There is the concept of ethos. We naturally identify certain groups as authoritative on a group because they are the ones who see it most. Ethos is essentially the idea of credibility, and we are more likely to accept the viewpoint of a victim of a crime than someone who has never experienced it, in a discussion of that crime.
I did. It doesn't support what you're saying about the Rohingya, and it doesn't support your claim that things are worse in Bangladesh without anyone caring. Calling the Rohingya "basically the same organization" as the one that took part in the 1971 Genocide is complete nonsense.

You're basically saying they deserve this state led treatment as other Muslims nearby did unrelated bad things to Hindus.
Unless we move to more walking and transit friendly cities with denser mixed use housing.

Traffic is a by product of the single family detached home and lack of transit options.
Exactly! I'm Indian, and am tired of listening to the argument that India shouldn't build bullet trains, as hyperloops will obviously be real in 5 years. People think that hsr which will cost 80 billion dollars will be replaced by a maglev in pnuematic tubes for only 6 billion.
A train picks you up where you live only if you are a 1%er who can afford the extreme real estate premium for transit access on an infrequently spaced system (i.e. BART), or the train stops so frequency that it barely adds value relative to a bicycle (i.e. Muni).
It's not actually an AI written chapter. This is false representation. AI generated text still doesn't know how to make a story stay on topic and slowly progress like this, while somewhat still make sense for the characters (even as poor as it does in this)
My preferred solution is that we reduce the baseline power differential between the sexes.

How we get there, I don't know. But I doubt there is some easy answer here. If powerful men cannot ask, how do they weed out women who are pursuing them solely for their money?

Being rich and powerful does not make them invulnerable. It does not mean they have no Achilles heel.

I'm a fairly traditionally feminine woman who does not like initiating. I have figured out how to navigate traditional gender dynamics comfortably. If you are asking, then I have the power here. You have to meet my expectations to get a yes.

My perspective is very underrepresented and hard to talk about. It is fairly socially unacceptable for me to try to talk about certain things. This has left me with few opportunities to practice communicating effectively on those topics, which just about guarantees that I won't say it very well. Given that it isn't acceptable to say to begin with, saying it poorly tends to lead to drama.

Percent grade is standard for road steepness at least in the US, e.g., 6% which requires effort for a loaded truck to climb.

Hm? There's a metrolink line that does exactly this, as the article clearly states.
>Using only notes from a single scale is supposed to make it easier to match the music.

Supposed?
We can change that. The current city is built around an combination of parking minimums, subsidized free parking, and a system that supports building detached single family homes and not dense mixed use housing.

If we change the policies that ruin the cities and design them around the human and not the car, we can make transit work more.
“I chat, I sleep, I listen to music, my mind wanders, I think about the past and the future.”
This hyperbole about lack of Title II classification being the end of democracy, capitalism, the intetnet, or the United States is getting really tiresome.
As a practical manager, I would require that either Alice or Bob switch teams, far enough that they no longer need to interact, and also give either the option to amicably leave the company.

There's not much more you can do. You address the tension, you don't assign blame, and you make sure both people have enough room to live healthy lives.

Now, if this is the second or third time Bob has been put in this situation, he's gone. And if this is the second or third time that Alice has been put in this position, she's gone.
If you had a powerful enough computer being fed comprehensive enough sensory data, I think it would be trivial to stay in one spot relative to something else (e.g. the Earth). I mean, if you had some kind of fairly magical propulsion device and could also ignore gravity.
The last line of the article:

> “I chat, I sleep, I listen to music, my mind wanders, I think about the past and the future,” Cherry says as the train from the land of affordable living arrives on time, halfway through another day of compromise.

So she does sleep sometimes.
"Non-profit" just means that shareholders don't profit. Nonprofits offer many opportunities for executives to personally profit.
Imagine going back in time only 100 years and trying to explain to someone that you can hold all the world's knowledge on a little plastic gadget that you can hold in your hand and that the gadget is also a camera that can shoot and play high definition videos. Most would say that is beyond absurd. I find it beyond absurd to speculate about what is or isn't possible when we know so little.
Also, if we construct our society such that making false accusations is a way to get what you want, certainly the number of false accusations will rise.
Paying the driver is a pretty big cut. If there's no driver to pay and fuel is cheap (because electric / hydrogen / whatever futuristic efficient tech) then the numbers start to work out. You've also got a persistent customer, so you can probably operate on lower margins since you have a fairly stable customer base.
Well, my location is definitely a limiting factor. I live in Florida- and not even Miami. That's why I've been mostly trying to find remote postings. I'm a great remote worker- my PhD work was as part of an international collaboration where I mostly worked with a few people in California and Texas, and my current job is remote.

Finding a quant position is probably what I need to do. Any suggestions on how to break into that?
In the UK about ten years ago there was a rash of news reports about children being sent to schools in tough neighbourhoods wearing stab-proof clothing. It was never clear whether it was commonplace or just marketing from a startup.

I haven’t seen anything since then in the media but the startup from the time appears to have grown their product range significantly. (I won’t name them but a quick google will find a few outlets).
Actually, state of the art models can now do that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBCqOTEfxvg
Well Colin made it and I was trying to highlight it. Perhaps remove the "show HN" from the title? If so can a moderator edit that?
> Maybe I'm wrong and/or you are genuinely open to learning here, but experience suggests people who write comments like yours can only be helped if they force themselves to interact with less privileged folks for an extended period of time.

Wow.

First, I grew up in a situation such that all of my friends were (and mostly remain) “less privileged.” I’m also familiar with bigotry directed towards myself.

Second, whether that does or does not describe me has no bearing on the merits of my argument, which is sort of my entire point through these threads - that’s not a rational heuristic.

Third, I’m going to circle this back to my original point. You never explained why my argument is fallacious or a strawman, opting instead to deride it as such without a reasonable explanation.

I never made an argument in favor of bigotry or genocide. I never said that advocating for such things is good. In fact, I’ve specifically and explicitly said they are not.

My point, very specifically stated already, is that advocacy of violence is not violence, and further that this distinction is important for the purposes of discussion that arrives at rational conclusions consistently. I don’t know how you arrived at the comment you wrote, because you’re not just missing the point, you’re firing an arrow at a far off place I don’t recognize. It seems like you’re fixating on verbal violence directed towards others when I am talking about public advocacy in the general case.

It’s deeply frustrating to me that you brought personal background and identity into this, and furthermore that you consistently mischaracterized my argument. You’ve twice now called it fallacious without any substantive refutation and without responding to my central thesis. It’s clear that you’re not interested in a good faith discussion. What you’ve done here is extremely antagonistic to another individual expressing their views.

Consider this: you dilute the extent to which violent aggressors can be held accountable for their actions if you group them with the same descriptions and responsibility as those who advocated for the violence. And while it may not be the case specifically with genocide, in the general case, you enable censorship if you attempt to call violent those who advocate for violence. It is not a far leap from there to claiming thoughtcrime, and while you might arrive at the rational conclusion by using that heuristic for genocide, you will not necessarily arrive at the rational conclusion for a context in which violence is controversial but not immediately wrong.

I would also not omit the fact that an increasing number of utilities offer solar power options. This is how Google consumes solar power for its data centers.
Or maybe just do it with a UI, after logging in with the original key. However, That would restrict the user to adding new devices only from trusted machines.

Again, having a command ("Add key ..." as in parent message) for this would make this feature accessible to password/key managers.

In the US a plaintiff with a strong civil case against a wealthy defendant can usually find an attorney to take the case on a contingency basis in exchange for about 30 - 50% of final recovery.

Common Lisp is big because it's a bridge between MacLisp and InterLisp communities of the 80s. There are much smaller (and just as powerful) Lisps like Scheme or ISLISP.
It seems like it couldn't hurt (even if cars drove 20 mph) for the crosswalk to be about 10 times more visible as well. There's a small sign, but people don't always notice those, nor do they often think to look for them on a stretch of road not near an intersection.

And in fact, based on Google Street View imagery, it appears they are in the process of doing exactly that:

https://www.google.com/maps/@41.0919153,-112.0647278,3a,75y,...

My city has some crosswalks with big, obvious flashing lights similar to this, and they really catch your attention more. Some of them have button that immediately turns the flashing lights on so you don't really have to wait for lights to cycle like you do at a normal intersection, which probably makes them more effective.
I don't remember the history prior to the meeting well enough today to give an authoritative version. So for fear of getting some of it wrong I will say nothing. However, I'll say that the answer to your question is "no".

According to wikipedia use of drugs are a lesser offense in south korea, so if that is correct it is not highly criminalized.

- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crime_in_South_Korea

Supply of drugs has also historically been limited according to the following article that goes over drugs in South Korea at length:

I've always left "Allow Firefox to send technical and interaction data to Mozilla" and "Allow Firefox to send crash reports to Mozilla" enabled, and I've been using Firefox since it was Phoenix (beta) in the early oughts.

I just like to make sure they get the info they need to improve it and also, advocate in that way for the features within the browser that I use- so they don't remove them.
After this study add-on, I disabled all of those settings.

I'm not moving to Chrome (and I never did all these years, FF has features that Chrome never will like toolbar RSS feed support), but now I'm probably withholding legitimately helpful information from Mozilla. I'm willing to do that because I don't feel like they can be trusted right now.
> The text you quote just says that some behavior might be driven by biological differences. Cool, nobody is arguing that.

This is entirely what the outrage for Damore was about. Entirely.
I wrote as if, not if - i.e. I run other programs that could use the RAM if Chrome wouldn't take it.
Firefox 57 was so nice I started using it every day and was actively migrating things to it from Chrome. I could live with the Pocket thing even though I wasn't wild about it. I hadn't gone as far as setting up a Mozilla cloud account because privacy was a high priority and I didn't want to swap one cloud service for another.

Then this thing blew my machine up the other day, I lost days of work, and...hmm. I don't know why a company would ever do something like this, it's incredibly foolish.
> Microsoft HR would probably had fired him if he stole her purse, but instead forced this woman to work in proximity to her rapist and hires the guy.

Microsoft HR would certainly NOT have done anything if she ACCUSED him of stealing her purse with no other evidence.

And, your way of thinking is not good for the victim, either. If I'm Microsoft HR following your advice, I will simply fire BOTH and now I can wash my hands of the problem.
That's true of Libertarianism as well.
Do you have an insight into whether or not Mozilla will issue an update that removes the ability to push add-ons in this fashion?
>Traffic is a by product of the single family detached home and lack of transit options.

That's a small part of it. Traffic is also a byproduct of increased population, jobs consolidating into a few large cities, in the US, middle America jobs going outside the border (gotta move to cities), requiring workers to be in the office, even when it's mostly unnecessary, and probably plenty I'm missing.
I am very concerned about stronger penalties that are there to coerce someone to do something rather than be proportional as a deterrent or whatever else the legal system is supposed to do in a given country. It puts you too much at the mercy of the police. This reminds me of the strategy prosecutors are using in the US where they are piling insane amounts of charges on to force the supposed criminal to take a plea bargain instead of going to court.

To me that's a quick path to where legal systems go to die.
Sleep on the train might help a bit, still crazy.
The buzz-word dot product is strong in this one..
Large cities in Europe have (comparatively) few detached homes and plenty of transit options, yet traffic can still be terrible because the road infrastructure is less huge. I guess we need american roads in european cities, but I'm afraid it's too late for that.
The video is from the FLIR camera, which is gyroscopically stabilized and locked onto the object. I don't think you can tell what the parent plane is doing unless part of it comes into the FLIR's view. News helicopters have the same tech.
I was quite aware that some people would be tired and consider it hyperbole when I wrote that. Unfortunately these trends have been ongoing for quite some time. This apathy and dismissal of the net neutrality incident as being an isolated independent problem worries me. If some people become tired from reading my comments, that's too bad. But if you are going to dismiss them anyway, maybe you should not even bother reading them.
"That's just awesome! That's a text editor ... doing calculus!"

Well, some might call that a good definition of scope creep, but at this point I'm sure we're all well aware that even though Emacs might be called a text editor, that's not really all it is.
This strategy contradicts the "innocent until proven guilty" feature of our justice system, which exists for a very good reason: it is worse to send an innocent person to prison than it is to sometimes allow crimes to go unpunished.

Additionally if we followed your recommendation (which is essentially to lower the evidentiary standard for rape), it would probably result in more false accusations, which would multiply the number of wrongful convictions.

Seems like we should expect that in a competitive market, production values will keep rising until it's no longer easy to compete? So the mystery isn't why browsers are so competitive, it's why other niches don't attract strong competitors.
But the demos all form planes in RGB... look at them - most are basically thin cylinders.
A contrasting point to the American trend: where I live (Vancouver, Canada) it is illegal to possess bulletproof or stab-proof clothing without a permit. (!) In fact, even DIY-ing your own protection is illegal without a permit.

Personally, I find this philosophically hard to reconcile.

> “But I think the lifestyle I do have now though is very sustainable.”

Considering the amount of fossil fuel that goes into flying, I don't think so. Commuting long-distance by plane is insane on that perspective.
Yep, don't wonder about the downvotes.
Every time I travel to the USA on business I am aghast by how poorly the cities are designed for use by human beings, and how evident it is that the free mobility of automobiles is the primary consideration of urban design.

Just look at those pictures. How can anyone live in that area and not think that they live in an environment and society that is openly hostile to pedestrians (school children)?

right? I have a HD280 from ~12 years ago? the headband started to disintegrate maybe 5 years ago but it's still quite usable at home and the sound and comfort is still as wonderful. bought a 2nd pair maybe 5+ years ago when it was discounted at literally half-price, so that's the one that gets taken outside on field-trips.
My concern here is only very peripherally about due process; rather, it's about not wanting to hand powerful people additional tools they can use abusively.

Relying on due process and the court system is one way to prevent people like Harvey Weinstein from carrying through on a threat of "I'll make sure you never work in this industry again", but it's not the only one. Taking rumours and innuendo at face value, on the other hand, is guaranteed to hand more power to abusive people.
Edit: I removed my comment. You win. You guys obviously know better than me.

Th train line in the article runs paralell to 91 for quite a while -- its even called the "91/Perris Valley" line.

This is true, and I think there are a lot of ways in which that would improve things. Has anyone really taken it this far though?
