> I'm not convinced that there still is that full sense of "freedom to choose" that you suggest.

I don't, and I wouldn't! The Scandinavian countries are much further along on this, but probably still don't constitute a perfectly level playing field where being a man or a woman doesn't confer advantages in certain disciplines. I'm just not holding my breath for perfect equality of outcome once the playing fields are fully level; in fact, the science points to it being pretty likely that the only way you'll get men and women to do exactly the same things in exactly the same way in exactly the same proportions is by tyrannical force, which I don't think helps either sex.

> Would you still feel as comfortable to suggest that, "... where all races have the highest levels of equality of opportunity, education, and choice in the world...is that that racial effects are actually maximized.

Sure! This one is trickier as I can't point to any society that's very far along the path of actually leveling the playing fields between races. Certainly in the U.S. the stakes are stacked abhorrently high against blacks in particular (the drug war in particular is disgustingly deliberate legislative racism, in my opinion). Many Mexicans in the U.S. are not free to choose. However, we've already run a lot of well-designed experiments that show that race is not at all correlated with intelligence, drive, job choice independent of other factors (family, education, and level of poverty, for example). Gender, on the other hand, has been shown to correlate not at all with things like intelligence, and correlate fairly tightly with things that affect your work and your choice of occupation, such as: disagreeableness (one of the strongest predictors of ending up in a leadership position), empathy, interest in people vs. interest in ideas, etc.

All categories should be open for discussion, and additional good science will gradually wither the fields/distinctions that have no predictive ability or bearing on reality (phrenology, eugenics, antiquated theories of physics, etc.).

This last statement is subjective opinion, but my assessment of the science (plus my real-world experience and fallible human schemas) tell me that we won't find perfect equality between genders once we have perfect equity between genders. That equity is absolutely worth striving for but not at the expense of good science, healthy debate, and dialogue itself, things that are at times threatened in these emotionally-charged discussions.
It'd be interested to know what percentage of WordPress sites are 'content-only' static sites. i.e. users are not logging and/or getting personalized content.

WordPress seems overkill for that niche, and this may be an opportunity to build and sell tools that allow easy publishing for static sites, given the July 2018 update.

Source-available, paid license software with no enforcement mechanism (source-available shareware, basically), as you describe, is possible, but it is not “open source”. The problem is that almost no one is going to contribute to it, so you lose the benefit to the vendor of open source, and almost no one is likely to pay for it if there is clearly no enforcement, so you lose the benefit of commercial software as well.

Open core (where extra features support sales) or open source with paid support (especially for enterprise, where support is what businesses pay for even with traditionally licensed software, anyway) are things that are more likely to work in practice, which is why they are more well represented in the market.

I have no clue what terms the UK has, but in Chicago, you can find places all across the spectrum. I've used shared spaces on month-to-month, and I think they can be quite valuable. But once we reached a certain size, we needed to have our own space. Plus, we work in healthcare, so we have other (read:HIPAA) concerns that need to be dealt with as well.

Again, there can be value, and places like WeWork, 1871, Blue1647, et al, serve specific needs. Like I said before, a lawyer and a willingness to hunt for the right space make all the difference. And right now, there's more empty spaces than filled, so it's easier to negotiate something that could even be just yearly...

Can we stop calling these cryptocurrencies "crypto"? That shorthand belongs to the people developing cryptographic encryption technologies.
I feel like many tech companies have to support a much broader audience with more varient use cases than the companies you listed.

Luxury watches sold by rollex only have to do a few things very well, and look nice. Some major tech companies are constantly under pressure to not only maintain quality of existing features, but to develop new features to stay competitive (all of this on updated hardware).

Im not defending any 'bad' products that major tech companies put out, but i dont think the companies you listed are very comparable.

Sounds like you could do that with a join. If you post a simple example I'm sure there would be a race to figure out an answer!

That time period does seem to be the peak of Apple's design innovation. I love my iPhone SE and I'd highly recommend it to you if you need an upgrade.
I think Apple did a pretty good job in most cases when getting their code to work well in Swift. I'm hopeful that this will also be the case with Android, but the hitch is that a lot will have to change. Swift's closures, extensions, etc. already had Objective-C counterparts which were not difficult to translate; but Java, on the other hand, doesn't provide many of the features that Kotlin does (hence the drastic reduction of boilerplate we can see in the blog post).
Did you reply to the wrong comment? They didn't say anything dismissive, and even expressed the impressiveness of someone writing a usable app at 16.

Most things already are. But there are many things that do need to be a federal concern, because a state does not exist in a vacuum, nor is it a (metaphorical) island. Things like the environment and pollution, for instance, need to have a federal component. One state may decide to relax environmental protections so that they can encourage factories and jobs. However, that pollution does not limit itself to the people that decided it. People outside that area, in other states that do have environmental regulations, will also be affected.
To change the state, you can use the regular JavaScript array mutation
methods such as push(). Internally, Automerge translates this mutable API
call into an update of the immutable state object. Note that we must pass in
doc1, and get back an updated object which we assign to the same variable
doc1. The original document object is not modified.

Hmm. I like having the _option_ to use mutations to describe changes to the document, but in many cases I would actually prefer to use pure functions. Can I just return a new document with the necessary changes? I don't see any such examples in the docs here.

I wonder if this is intended to be competition with managed Wordpress providers such as WP Engine? the article doesn't distinguish between Wordpress.org (domain.wordpress.org) and Wordpress.com (self hosted) platforms. Perhaps both, with such a large partnership. But in the developer's linked blog post he seems to be referring to the self-hosted platform by mentioning themes and plugins. Very interested to see how this progresses.

> So common carrier status is forfeited if a company reasonably terminates a contract due to the actions of the other party?

Yes. That's why I can trash Verizon or smear Verizon's CEO name from a Verizon phone and Verizon cannot use it to terminate my service. Neither can AT&T.

[Edit: Responding here because HN is saying I'm posting too fast]

Non physical plant phone companies have never had any decisions on them that would affirm if they are or they are not common carriers. Verizon Wireless' data services subs behave as if they were.

Brand X decision is largely misunderstood because it deals with LECs, CLECs and companies that would like to get access to CLEC like benefits without being CLECs. Its scope was incredibly narrow which is why it took that many years for FCC's net neutrality rules be overturned ( and why it was done by the FCC ) and why it allowed FCC rules to stand.

Being disconnected due to utilizing it for harassment is also rather complicated ( and has lots of possible legal theories that have not been tested ):

- it is known that a phone company cannot disconnect the last "live line" service, even for non-payment.

- phone company may restrict one's ability to use the service as long as it continues to provide live line service ( for wireless service it is what allows one to use a locked or administratively disabled phone to make emergency calls ). There are however tons of hoops to jump through.

[Another edit:]

Things become a lot more interesting with MVNO because they are really nothing other than buying clubs even if what they buy is a network access. I believe MVNOs can actually terminate services for any reason as they should not fall under the common carrier label.

This in turn makes me wonder if Verizon/Sprint/ATT/TMO are actually MVNO themselves as I know for certain that entity from which customer's buy services are not the entities that operate it.
Sounds like a good thing! My company's WordPress site[0] takes 4-8 seconds to load, with a couple paragraphs of text and a few images.

To be fair, I should really switch it over to being a static site, I am using a complicated templating engine to pop out a few paragraphs.

Of course that is the ultimate irony about WordPress. Like any other swiss army knife framework, it will always be slower than a proper dedicated tool.

Another issue (one that a lot of modern development practices share) is that WordPress lets you quickly pull in components to Get Things Done Quick, but those components pull in more dependencies. I was looking at adding some more smooth scrolling effects, and the suggested way was to pull in jquery (fair enough), even though the template I'm using already pulls it into the page. Repeat that a dozen or so times to get the page looking Just Right, and, well, there goes perf.

Ha, if you think filament is expensive NOW, just wait until you have an HP printer!

That said, they do provide some interesting cost values which make it sound like this will probably be in the ballpark of low 6-figures:

>1. Based on internal and third-party testing for HP Jet Fusion 580 and 5403D Printers, printing time is a fraction of the time of the printing times of comparable plastic fused deposition modeling (FDM), stereolithography (SLA), and material jetting solutions from $20,000 USD to $120,000 USD on market as of June, 2017. Testing variables for the HP JetFusion 580 3D Printer: Part quantity: 1 full build chamber of parts from HP Jet Fusion 3D at 10% of packing density versus same number of parts on above-mentioned competitive devices; Part size: 30 cm3; Layer thickness: .08 mm/0.003 inches. Competitor testing variables are comparable.

>2. Based on internal testing and simulation, HP Jet Fusion 3D average printing time is up to 10 times faster than average printing time of comparable fused deposition modeling (FDM) and selective laser sintering (SLS) printer solutions from $100,000 USD to $300,000 USD on market as of April, 2016. Testing variables for the HP Jet Fusion 4210/4200/3200 Printing Solutions: Part quantity: 1 full build chamber of parts from HP Jet Fusion 3D at 20% of packing density versus same number of parts on above-mentioned competitive devices; Part size: 30 grams; Layer thickness: 0.08 mm/0.003 inches.

>3. Based on internal testing and public data, HP Jet Fusion 3D average printing cost per part is half the average cost of comparable FDM & SLS printer solutions from $100,000 USD to $300,000 USD on market as of April, 2016. Cost analysis based on: standard solution configuration price, supplies price, and maintenance costs recommended by manufacturer. Cost criteria: printing 1 build chamber per day/5 days per week over 1 year of 30-gram parts at 10% packing density using HP 3D High Reusability PA 12 material, and the powder reusability ratio recommended by manufacturer. Based on internal testing and public data, HP Jet Fusion 3D 4210 Printing Solution average printing cost-per-part is 65% lower versus the average cost of comparable FDM and SLS printer solutions from $100,000 USD to $300,000 USD on market as of April, 2016 and is 50% lower versus the average cost of comparable SLS printer solutions for $300,000 USD to $450,000 USD. Cost analysis based on: standard solution configuration price, supplies price, and maintenance costs recommended by manufacturer. Cost criteria: printing 1.4 full build chambers of parts per day/5 days per week over 1 year of 30-gram parts at 10% packing density on fast print mode using HP 3D High Reusability PA 12 material, and the powder reusability ratio recommended by manufacturer.
I remember that moment quite well, and very fondly; I believe I watched TDS live back then every night.

However, I asked what Rick Perry did, not what he said.
The most absurd list is exactly what I was hoping they would have
but as Richard Quest said as it was happening: _never_ look at the points as it is meaningless, look at the percentage drop.. and then it is 'just' a long overdue correction :)

of course if this continues there is more to worry about (but only after a 20% downfall can we really speak of a bear market)

There are other strategies to protect long positions if you have cash or an appetite for risk, this allows you to realize the gains from holding during the entire runup.

This is the definition of the gambler's fallacy. However, if you look at a chart of the stock market vs. a chart of a coin being flipped many times, they will look very different. While a coin being flipped will either asymptotically trend towards zero or a positive slope of .5 depending upon how it is charted, the stock market will have large peaks and valleys, meaning that after a period of high growth (overvaluation), the market will not continue to value these stocks at a steady growth of 10% per year. Instead, the market will correct the value of these stocks, which looks like a short term undervaluation and so we should expect "more tails than usual".

VIX attempts to measure volatility but it is not volatility itself. The lowness of VIX has been driven by the relative increase of the denominator (total asset value, which has surged in the last few years) not by a decrease of the numerator.

In general, it's usefulness as an indicator of volatility has decreased lately.
It might appear that way but stock prices are actually tied to economic performance, not coin flips.
Honestly part of the problem with this discussion is that people are just making stuff up. CDNs never had "Common Carrier" status, so all arguments around it make no sense.

That being said, this argument is a recurring theme. It came up when spez edited comments on "/r/the_donald" and comes up any time a company enforces it's own TOS to a way the alt-right and libertarian crowds don't like.

I can come up with dozens of examples of companies exercising control over the content of their networks without issue. Reddit removed "fatpeoplehate" and related subs, youtube removes terrorism recruitment videos, and even Cloudflare removes malware (if pushed hard enough). None of those cases resulted in this mythical "common carrier" status from being removed, or caused them legal issues in other ways. If I'm wrong it should be easy enough to come up with examples proving it, but that won't happen.
No, it's not like gambling.

Unlike in a casino, the returns and value of stocks are loosely coupled to the real economy.

If stock values grow quicker than the economy, then we should expect a correction, because of that loose coupling.

Of course, markets can stay irrational longer than we can stay solvent, so I wouldn't try to time it.
This is the sort of thing that makes my eyes roll and my attention wander whenever politicos hammer on about the loss of our manufacturing base being America's imminent downfall.

The amount of institutional knowledge baked into our industries is simply mind-boggling. The only reason we can get away with outsourcing manufacturing in the first place is because this knowledge is so amazingly thorough.

But shifts in the market aren't independent random events. You can definitely find examples of dramatic, real shifts in valuation but in the vast majority of cases business value is created over time. That rate of growth might be slightly faster or slightly slower, but you can be certain it's within reasonable bounds. So when speculation or scare drives the price higher or lower, you can be sure it will find its way back.
You are correct, but that battle is lost.
What you are describing is basically how pump-and-dump of penny stocks works.

That should be, "you could really capture some great moments directly on film..."

You already captured these moments; you were there; they are ingrained in your memory.

> My mother recently passed and out of all the photos [..] staring right back into my soul."

First of all, my sincere condolences.

Again, you were there. That moment, that specific wonderful moment you witnessed, nice as it is to have something to remember it by, it feels very personal, not something you could share unless you were there, and you were you.

Back in the days of photo-lab development, there existed magic moments caught on camera as well, but it was the luck of the draw. Since they were so rare, there was no fear of missing out, but any such moment caught on camera was all the more special for it.

Maybe this fear of missing out on your own life, pushing one to commit everything to camera, comes at the cost of actually missing out. Life is made better by witnessing these magic moments, but I'm unsure the drive to capture them all enhances the experience, witnessed and remembered in that particular fashion by no one but yourself.
