To be fair, it was for the anti-gay marriage prop, not just some generic right wing thing.

When someone peacefully, nonviolently supports the wrong cause, it should be appreciated. It's the very fact that places like the US can settle political debates and get on with life without resorting to violence which makes the USA such a great place to live. There's a reason why the ability to transfer power and make policy peacefully is measured in development indexes.

If you want to gauge the justice of a side, then look for their benevolence and intellectual honesty. If you want to speak truth to power, then look to the side that's hounding people out of their jobs and trying to intimidate their enemies into silence. Nelson Mandela called his commissions, "Truth and Reconciliation" commissions, not "let's look back and see who was on the wrong side and dismantle their lives" commissions.

Bigotry isn't really about words or drawing lines around sex, gender, or race. It's about the institutions that oppress people of color, LGBT people, and women. That's why saying "kill all men" as an expression of frustration isn't the same as, "women are biologically worse engineers than men". The US has no history of male genocide and it's silly to even consider. The US does have a history of curbing the rights of women though, and if people like James Damore have their way we'll start walking back down the path where we curtail the rights, freedoms, and opportunities of women and justify it using "biology".

There is no correlating behavior here. If feminists win out, women will pay the same for health care as men do, we'll have as many women working in STEM as we have men, women will be paid the same money for the same work. You can't equate that with sexism. You can't say that if we want to advocate for equal rights for women in the workplace that we have to tolerate people advocating against equal rights for women in the workplace. It's deeply and clearly wrong. It's like if I want to say "vaccines don't cause autism" we have to give equal air time to people who think they do. No, we don't. They're wrong.

That's why these things aren't the same. I would guess you'll probably just say (again), "people who say 'kill all men' are expressing hate against men, that's misandry and it's bigoted", but please at least consider what I've written now to... idk 8 people in this thread. The worst thing that happens is you come to the conclusion I'm just spending a lot of time ineffectively trolling and burning my karma. But I'm hoping you'll start to consider that the issue is much more complicated.

Saturday and Friday night at those times are dangerous where I'm at because of end-of-summer parties and drinking. Lots of drinking.

This will never change. As long as we have overconfident drivers, we will have accidents. Confidence = "I don't need to double-check". Sadly, that same overconfidence is why you can't convince anyone to NOT be overconfident. It's a self-confirming cycle, and people only become more careful after the accident because, as every overconfident driver says, "It'll never happen to me." (getting in an accident, that is)

Elon Musk is spread out way too thin. He should never have bought SolarCity, and he needs to relinquish SpaceX entirely. He needs to be laser-focused on getting the Model3 out of the door because his whole company depends on it.

I think people are sensing a hell of a lot of weakness, and if Tesla starts running out of money, he could literally find himself and the company bankrupt, especially if banks stop lending money because it looks like a bad credit risk.

This feels like the type of company that could crumble down to single digits in stock value because of some catastrophic set of financial issues.
Not only that, but they added a clause to their contract with Yahoo that let them get out of it while still forcing Yahoo to pay if Yahoo was purchased by another company. When Verizon bought Yahoo, Mozilla switched their default search engine back to Google. I believe they're receiving double pay from both search companies for the next year or two.

Federal law requires private employers to keep their defined benefit plans fully funded. That is, for every employee with a vested pension benefit the company must have deposited enough assets _today_ to ensure the pension can pay the accrued benefits _tomorrow_. IIRC, the regulatory agency (PBGC?) mandates a fairly conservative rate of return when calculating liabilities, which is one reason why corporations ditched pension plans.

It's possible to game the system, but you really have to work at it. The merger craze of the 1980s and 1990s was in no small part driven by attempts to raid pension funds. When companies merged you could merge the pension funds, and the merger provided opportunities to argue that the merged pension was overfunded. (Timing, choice of partner, shuffling of staff around, and tweaking of contracts so benefit accruals were postponed just long enough to raid the pension fund.) The new found cash in tandem with the supposedly lower liabilities provided companies huge one-time gains on their books, which fueled bonuses for C-suite executives (especially CFOs), who would then quickly move on before it all unraveled.

In any event, defined benefit plans in the private world aren't pyramid schemes. That's unique to the state governments because the pertinent federal law doesn't apply to them. Even though companies can screw with pensions if they try, it's still far more secure than 401(k)s. Just ask anyone who retires shortly before a recession. Or ask anyone who lives in Chile, which has had individual retirement savings accounts for decades.

A fully funded pension scheme is basically an annuity. If you have a 401(k), as you approach retirement you're _supposed_ to be rolling it over to an annuity anyhow. That's the rational thing to do. But nobody does it because, well, people don't behave rationally when left to their own devices.

Similarly, pension plans often deduct significantly more in wages than people voluntarily do with 401(k)s. Upwards of 20-30%. People systematically underestimate how much they need to save for retirement. Consider that social security effectively taxes you at 12%, but even if it stays completely solvent it's only going to provide a bare minimum income.

It's interesting that you mention landlines. I feel like I've been slightly ahead of the curve in giving up: a landline (~2005), cable (~2007), and Facebook (2014).

Twitter and Instagram still exist on my phone, and I have the occasional desire to push content to them, but I haven't in about a year.

I feel about the experience of swimming through other people's political ideas and vacation and/or kids photos the way I imagine an alcoholic feels about drinking: I've tried that and it made me miserable.

The fact that my wife still uses social media means a truly important child photo or life event eventually makes its way to me.

This just isn't true. You can host your own mail server and GMail will probably still end up hosting a large fraction of the email you read and write, because the people you correspond with are still using GMail.

(In the same vein, you can refuse to have a Facebook account but Facebook probably has a dossier on you anyway. Enough people you know have dumped their contacts into Facebook that they already know your place in the social graph.)

Yes, current build process complication makes me laugh how it's actually making the development harder. With that said I've come to a pretty decent setup that's pretty much upload and reload style.

- parcel bundler (Real fast, cached compilation is under 1 second) : This bundles all my TypeScript as 1 JS that works in the browser and Stylus into 1 CSS along with dependencies such as jQuery and I no longer have to place script tag for those external dependencies but they're bundled among their dependencies from npm installed copies.

- ts-node-dev : Reloads the node server automatically in about a second as I update my server side TypeScript and it doesn't even require compilation process to spit out .js files.

- monit : To monitor those 2 processes to make sure they're alive and auto restarted in case the process quits for some reason.

The point is, setting them up is very easy. I don't even have a config file for the former 2 and easy readable one for monit.

I don't like client side transpilation and bundling as it requires every machine even under different OS to be set up properly exactly the same.

Now I no longer do any manual build or wait on each incremental changes but the "good old days" are back with the added benefit of using TypeScript and npm ecosystem in the browser with no effort. I'm impressed.

Sure you can, most client-side frameworks these days (React, Angular, ...) keep track of application state. On state change push to client and/or server database via REST API depending on network connectivity.

> There are very very few people that host their own email servers

Most people have jobs with companies that run mailservers. There are even community mailservers. Email is a free protocol, and as such it's vender-neutral by default.

But it makes more sense in the context of a reply further down: "NYU is a private university. The social media login option is only for visitors who are engaged in onsite research. Our materials are not available to the public online." If they are a private company, of course they can do as they please.

Tbh, there are two possible explanations:

1. Someone tried to save a bunch of money and data-handling responsibility.

2. Someone sold tracking data and users to Twitter and Facebook.
No, it was not too much and you were right to say no.
I’ve worked in a wide variety of companies and environments and I don’t know that I’ve ever been in a position to think I could make an accurate assessment of what “rank” my colleagues were.

The very idea sounds crazy to me.
I think there are a lot of ways to make it harder for specific groups of people to vote. There are active voter intimidation and misinformation campaigns in every federal election. I don't think we'll repeal the 19th Amendment. I do think it's possible we change how people vote so that it's a lot easier for men to vote than women. Many women work retail and service jobs. It's possible to move voting from public precincts to private workplaces (Indiana's Vote Centers are like this in some ways), with some safeguards about traffic, exposure, etc. You could argue, like the proponents of Vote Centers did, that this is far more convenient and that in order to protect voters and votes, we'll only put Vote Centers in secure offices. Afterwards, fewer people will need precincts so we'll save money by shutting many of them down.

Would a policy like that ever pass? Again, Indiana's doesn't have the "office" stuff but it's pretty close. Would it prevent all women from voting? No. But you don't need to do that really, you just need to pull their turnout down. Same thing with gerrymandering, voter intimidation, etc. You just need to give yourself an solid advantage. And putting Vote Centers in secure offices where the majority of people are male, and then cutting precincts where the makeup is balanced, increases voting access for men and decreases it for everyone else (well OK, middle class and higher men, but you get my point).

Or if limiting voting access is too abstract, look at equal pay. Look at women's health clinics being forced to shut down because they provide abortion services (a crucial component of women's health). Look at women not being allowed in active combat until very, very recently (military promotions are hard to get w/o active combat -- wonder why only 7% of the US' generals are women...).

So no, I don't think we'll repeal the 19th Amendment tomorrow. I think people who are racists, anti-feminists, homophobes, etc. have other tools they use that are actually pretty effective.

More relevant, further down: "NYU is a private university. The social media login option is only for visitors who are engaged in onsite research. Our materials are not available to the public online."
I tested the hell out of it to make sure that it worked as intended. Long story short, the hard part was to make sure that on powering up the system it wouldn't put random bits of output on the various ports which the hardware would then interpret as signals to make servos run and power up spindles. Initially I thought that the hard part was to make things stop, but that's actually rather easy, you just drop the power to a relay that is held 'on' by itself. That's irreversible from the software side, someone then needs to re-enable the power manually using the same mechanism (those mushroom switches stay down once you activate them). But when you do that - the re-enabling - you risk mayhem because the state of the machine is completely undefined. The trick to solving this was to confirm one-by-one that all outputs were in defined states and then outputting a sequence of bytes on a port to re-engage the relay, independent of whether the user had re-set the e-stop. The sequence was long enough that it could not happen by chance.

It's this kind of subtle interaction between hardware and software where it is super easy to make a stupid mistake and to end up regretting it the rest of your life. Making sure that machine stayed off when it had to was super important, some of those servos were the size of buckets and would happily rip your arm off when powered up, the chuck on the largest machine that we did was 6 meters, to cut wheels for harbor cranes. Really nothing to fuck up with.
Good call, I'll add a license.

I don't get why people insist on the "low speed" exception. That only works BECAUSE at low speeds you're able to initiate the lean by, well, LEANING, and turning into the lean. At higher speeds this doesn't work simply because you're not able to lean far enough to counteract the vehicle's tendancy to fall the opposite way when you turn the bars.

It is more correct to just say at ANY speed you have to countersteer (or in some way get the center of mass on the 'inside' of the turn relative to the wheels) and not confuse people with the low speed vs high speed bit, even though that's the way it FEELS as a rider.

What do you mean with non-standard default mail format? Most mail I receive from Claws users seems perfectly fine, which is something you can't say for most other popular MUAs. Outlook and certain web mailers probably being the most egregious examples, only topped by some (thankfully rare) Android vendor mobile apps.

The TLS setup certainly sucks but OTOH, the actual distribution archives are all cryptographically signed. Most users don't get Claws Mail from the website anyway, but use their distro packages, whose maintainers have hopefully verified the signatures before importing a new release.
