I have been thinking about how to work around the gerrymandering/gigantic 'war chests' that the incumbents have and the following idea comes to mind: run against these incumbents locally in the party primaries to help drain their truckloads of 'campaign contributions' and help give the election candidate a fighting chance to upset this stinking pile of evil.
I was first introduced to Hockney's theory in a New Yorker article from 2000. The full article isn't available online unless you have a subscription but you can find a summary of sorts here:

https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2000/01/31/the-looking-gl...

It looks like the article preceded publication of Hockney's book and originated at a time when he was still rehearsing and refining his argument.

His main antagonists in the article are the art historians who come off a bit like stuffy reactionaries. I was firmly in Hockney's camp by the time I had finished the article. It was one of those ideas that changed the way I look at the world slightly.

Never read the book. Tim's Vermeer was the coup de grace for me and I was gratified to see Hockney make a cameo in it.
> where as Australia's is order of preference with instant runoff (you literally cannot throw your vote away)

This is a tangent, but IRV is horribly broken: it throws your vote away for you, by ignoring all your preferences other than the top choice until it decides that your top choice no longer matters. If you vote A > B > C, IRC ignores that you prefer B over C until it eliminates A. That can cause C to win. That is not a theoretical concern; it's something that you would expect to happen when third parties become more popular.

Based on your link, it very clearly shows that some groups in America excel in America's education system while other groups don't. I'm not sure why you're so intent on splitting hairs about that.

By the way, yes, Asian Americans typically do live in higher-income areas when compared to other racial groups in America. Very few Asian Americans live in rural areas or in states that are known to have poor education distributions (eg deep south). Asian Americans overwhelmingly live in LA, NYC, Massachusetts, Dallas, Houston, or the Bay Area, which are certainly more "wealthier area" than places like rural Alabama, West Virginia, or Montana where poorer whites live. Asian Americans have the highest income levels out of any racial group in America.

> awkwardly-phrased amendment

It's only awkwardly-phrased if you try to read it with 2017 Standard Coastal American English and without the context of the complete document (as it is supposed to be read, evidenced by the rather broad definition of speech and the press applied to the first amendment), the intent of the drafters, and a deep understanding of the writing style and cultural influences on interpretation which affected the drafters' choice of words.

> could easily be construed differently than the NRA does today

The NRA construes the second amendment to the U.S. constitution as the Supreme Court interprets it. If you have a disagreement with the Supreme Court's interpretation and standards regarding the second amendment to the U.S. constitution, state them in terms which thoroughly challenge the painstaking review of evidence which informed their interpretation. I recommend going to the wonderful folks at Oyez, they have recordings (the official transcripts have glaring errors, including literal binary flips of meaning) of hearings and briefs for you to review and couch your disagreement in.

> designed at a time when "arms" meant something vastly more innocent than today.

This is false, don't rely on pundits to understand and accurately convey a history of the design and manufacture of arms. There were semi-automatic firearms (handguns and rifles) of arbitrary magazine capacity in manufacture at least 40 years prior (and if you include the Kalthoff repeater [which may have not been commonly known in the colonies, and requires two actions to fire], 155 or more years prior) to the drafting of the second amendment (December 1791). Furthermore, the amendment actually makes no attempt to define the type of arms covered, not even defining that they be firearms or specifically rifles or handguns or guns (cannons) or shotguns.

> So I personally would rather we focus on natural rights that reflect today's technology, rather than artificial ones from the 1790s.

The right to keep and bear arms is a natural one, because the purpose is self defense, and the common defense. Humans are defined largely by their capacity to design, build, and/or use tools, so it is obvious that access to the tools which have become essential to the natural right to defend your person would themselves warrant the same recognition.

It is a natural right to use appropriate and proportionate means to defend your property (including your life), and to retain those means in advance of such an occasion.

And their existence is part of critic's arguments against the Hockney thesis: many tools have been used in various ways at various times, and there's been little or no shame in acknowledging and documenting it.

To accept Hockney-Falco, you'd have to accept the opposite: that such devices were widespread amongst artists but kept secret or never mentioned. I think Occam's razor suggests that if such devices were commonly used, it wouldn't be so hard to find evidence of it.

I'm sort of glad that my parents never got me and my sister any game consoles; we had the PC for my mother to write test reports, and do the taxes, and type up my father's logging invoices. Consequently, I had the advantage of getting to frig around a lot with getting games to run, and with PC games that had a thriving, if rough-around-the-edges modding scene.

I don't think I would have gotten anything like the same learnings if I'd been playing on a SNES or Genesis, vs a Pentium clone. Not to mention the dramatic skew in the kinds of games that are available on the different platforms.
Will it be a problem? Or will it cause a reevaluation of pay scales for those professions? Might it cause pay to actually rise to an appropriate level for those workers? I don't know, but it sounds like an intriguing idea.

I recently read an article linked on Hacker News about a woman who commutes 3 hours each way to work a government job in Los Angeles. She could get the same job in her home town, but it pays half as much, so she does the commute to send her kids to college. It sounds like the job is worth more than she's making at it, but the same job near her home doesn't pay enough to make it worth her while. If it did, likely LA would have to raise the wage for that position.
On the first page of the Introduction, it's clear that the ME should not have access to the actual key in TME. In MKTME, there seems to be one key that is held only by the CPU while the others can be provided by software.

I think the use case for this is a) to defend runtime application memory on systems that use non-volatile memory as RAM (e.g., 3D XPoint), b) to defend against cold boot attacks, and c) to defend against attacks where one VM can read the data pages of another VM, possibly through an re-assignment of a previously used and uninitialized memory page.

Cool project. I found this [0] talk on the matter.

I am still working through it, but it seems that with (somewhat optimized) current software they hit 10 minute propagation time at 1GB blocksize, with about 500tx/s (t=4549).

EDIT: This experient is also still young. As of the November 2017 talk I linked, they were using 4-6 miner nodes, and a UTXO pool simmilar to the current network (to the point where the presented would not even give numbers for memory and disk IO because he viewed them as not relevent to what would really be seen).

Does it? It seems to support my view. Your link shows that in PISA rankings by race in America are in this order:

1. Asian Americans

2. White Americans

3. Multiracial Americans

4. Hispanic Americans

5. African Americans

Ignoring the multiracial category, because I couldn't find a source that included this category, that is exactly how median income differs between races in the US, i.e. Asian Americans have a higher median income that White Americans who have a higher median income than Hispanic Americans who have a higher median income than African Americans [1]. How exactly does this disprove my statement? And what exactly is insulting about saying education outcomes are related to socioeconomic status?

Wind has been profitable for years and years even without government handouts, and turbine blades can be feathered if electricity prices are negative. Profitability isn't the issue here.

As I understand it, the real problem is two-fold. Firstly, wind isn't reliable, and if you have too much wind power feeding into your electrical grid but don't have enough storage, the entire grid becomes unreliable. Secondly, wind turbines cost about the same whether they're producing power or not, meaning that they're always feeding power into the grid if the market price is above zero. This takes money away from more reliable power sources - coal, gas, hydro, storage - and can drive them out of business.

That's a more complicated problem than "NYT is a left-wing conspiracy", and it's harder to solve.
Psychological critiques of modernity are in my opinion the strongest criticisms of modern life (relative to sociological/philosophical/religious objections) and have quite a history, starting with Freud's "Civilization and its Discontents". But one frustrating commonality among these analyses is the difficulty of turning any of the insights into practical policy proposals.

I like this quote:

>A better (empirically more accurate and psychologically healthier) model of self-determination is, I think, akin to our understanding of human linguistic abilities. The capacity to use language is perhaps the single most liberating characteristic of human beings. It frees people in significant ways from the temporal and material limitations that afflict other organisms. People can say anything about anything, at any time, or in any place--even things, times, and places that have never existed--and they can be understood. Therefore, language is probably as vivid an embodiment of human freedom and self-determination as anything. But what decades of re- search on language ability have made clear is that the thing that makes the liberating features of language possible is that language is heavily constrained by rules. The reason people can say anything and be understood is that they can't say everything. It is linguistic constraint, in the form of these rules, that makes linguistic freedom possible.

Let's suppose Kim, Jung-un has a problem with people crossing over into SK. Do you think he'll use less than lethal weapons, or do you think he'll go for the assault rifles?

What happened is they announced publicly that they had a change of heart and would let people cross. And so people did.

None of those are the metrics they use. Despite being an Australian citizen with a very clean record, as well as having a very Western name, I was red flagged before I even arrived because of my country of birth.

With El Al, you're interrogated before you board the plane. When you go to check in, there is a "pre check-in" where you show staff your passport and they check your name off against a paper list. That paper list would already indicate whether or not you're going to be interrogated and at what level.

My coworker flying with me was also red flagged, and he was explicitly told it was because of my country of birth and that he was flying with me.

He had much less of a rough time than me, though, where I was being interrogated over where I got the 100 shekels they found in my wallet (apparently exchanging a nominal amount of Aussie dollars for shekels at Sydney airport "just in case" astounded El Al security, and it was much more likely that there was something much more sinister going on).
> Groovy (a compiled language)

Because of its use in scripting on the JVM(e.g. glue code and Gradle builds), Apache Groovy files are usually stored in the file system as text. Each time they're run, they are "compiled" into JVM bytecode. Although you can get pre-compiled .class and .jar files for Groovy, it's not common for people to build large systems with it.

I think it doesn't matter which side you see it from, democracy in the US is completely broken. In most states your vote doesn't matter. Both parties ended up with candidates that were disliked by more people than liked. Trump keeps bringing up Hillary because she probably is the only candidate who makes him even remotely look good to anyone meanwhile even most Democrats didn't want her. Both parties had to fight off what in essence were third party candidates because it's more viable to hijack one of the big two than running as a third party. And that's completely ignoring that once in office completely unpopular measures get pushed through my either site. It's completely broken!

I'm not thinking of strict serializability - I do actually mean linearizability.

My previous comments were referring to the basic algorithm presented as the main contribution of this paper in section 3. In this algorithm, "Every command accesses only one object o." With each operation applying to a single object and each object satisfying linearizability, the system as a whole will be linearizable.

The distinction between linearizability and strict serializability is somewhat subtle. I highly recommend this blog post [1] by Irene Zhang and this blog post [2] by Peter Bailis for some really great discussion on the subtleties involved.

I've heard it works for 802.11n. Does it work for 802.11ac?
The game theoretic problem is that they cannot explore other rates without giving away the fact. The 30% suddenly looks a lot less set in stone (and less initially justified), and cue incessant deluge of pushback.
In theory you’d want the algorithm to determine how rational someone is likely to be, assuming that is correlated with debt repayment. If you can say with some degree of confidence that a person is likely to act irrationally and that people who act irrationally don’t pay back debt as often, then that’s a signal to consider when deciding to lend. Not sure exactly how you’d determine that but I guess the hope of collecting such varied data points as phone battery level, typing speed, and food delivery preferences are meant to provide some amount of signal there.

FWIW, at least in mathematics "obvious" doesn't mean "you're an idiot if you don't instantly understand this." It means, "this isn't deep. If you're thinking about really deep, complicated things beyond what we've been talking about, you're missing the point."

I have on multiple occasions sat down and worked with another mathematician on a problem for an hour+, only for us to find the solution and both conclude that the answer was "obvious."
