An AR-15 is a good all purpose weapon. Great for intruders but also excellent for shooting racoons or opossums that are killing your chickens. Or coyotes that are chasing your cows. They are also good for use in a well regulated militia, being necessary to maintain a free state and all.

You know what the difference is between an AR15 and your typical .30-06 hunting rifle? Beside the fact that the 30-06 will do more damage, it is usually brown wood instead of black. That is why people are scared of the AR15, it's black. You can throw a big clip on any semi-automatic hunting rifle and it will be just as deadly.
True, but minimum wage work typically isn't full-time. That link didn't work for me, but are those numbers inflation-adjusted?

Articles like this annoy the hell out of me, because it implies that men with Autism have it better somehow.

I would argue that society is WAY more forgiving of "strange" women than it is towards men of a similar strange level.

This coming from a guy married to a high functioning ASD woman.

Lost respect for American immigration laws long back. This is not a crack down this is pretence of doing something by creating more trouble for those who are actually obeying the law. (All illegal dreamers have work authorisation today, but not all spouses of H1B taxpayers get it. Indians are waiting for decades to get their work authorisation precisely because they obeyed law).

Entered the country hoping to become a citizen, now it is all about squeeze maximum money you can and leave. The good part however is this is actually bringing better jobs to India.
The intervening years have colored my perceptions. I'm uncomfortable with prices as high as they are... but it is clear from the interventions of the last ten years that the US government will pull out all the stops to keep the mortgage debt load in place. I don't know what breaks next - the 2016 election is an example of something that broke - but it probably won't first be the overall mortgage debt load.
I wouldn't say it's too complicated for designers to understand, just a different way of thinking that they haven't practiced yet.
Most simple criticisms of why Bitcoin does things the way it does and then suggestions for simple ‘improvements’ such as yours (5 minute interval) tend to be naive and wrong. The 10 minute interval for Bitcoin transactions was chosen as the best tradeoff to balance pros and cons for making it shorter or longer.

Stackexchange has a good discussion on the topic:

Serious question, when you see non obtuse, clever or dumb things for error handling how do you attribute language?
Second that for Clojure. OOP is a mental straightjacket. When I started back-end programming I was faced with a fork in the road signposted on one side "Java" and on the other "Perl". I spent a long time with Dietel and Dietel's Java tome but somehow OOP just felt wrong. In Perl you just seemed to get on with it. Data and functions. Yes, you could bless a hash to get your OOP if you really wanted to but it was only later that the community became obsessed with OOP and Moose. So, I travelled down the Perl road and consequently found functional programming, and Clojure in particular, to be natural and easy to learn. Listening to other programmers who followed the traditional OOP path, I get the impression that they will defend OOP even when it's glaring deficiencies are staring them in the face. What is it about OOP? I don't get it. Get rid of it and give yourself a chance to approach problems differently. Bottom-up programming, especially with Clojure and its REPL, make programming a real joy. OOP is Stockholm syndrome masochism.
> This is a factor of 4 improvement!

This is a common mistake. It should read, "This is a factor of 3 improvement!"

x+x+x+x is an improvement over x of 3x not of 4x. The improvement factor is 3.
So people basically mean a transition table/function, but without the start state or accepting states?
I don't read any implication of better or worse in the article, only that it's different. Would you point out passages that give you that impression?

I'm impressed by Stellar. It seems like it's one of the few cryptos that actually is solving the problems that got people excited about cryptocurrencies in the first place several years ago.
In my city there's a fair public transport, but in the country as a whole, no. Even bigger cities lack good transportation.

But cars are expansive, specially considering the average income, and having a Civic or a Corolla puts you in the top, with Audis being the "I'll never afford to have one of those".
It makes sense to me that junior programmers would not jump to state machines for something like, e.g., handling complex UI state. I see the reasons as twofold:

1) How would you describe the reason for using state machines over handling the state and transitions through if-statements and sprinklings of booleans? The best I can come up with is that it allows you to be explicit about which states exist, how they can be moved between, and what other code should execute when transitioning. It basically comes down to the architectural principle of 'cohesion': put related things nearby one another. This is pretty fuzzy until you've actually had concrete experience getting bitten by the lack of cohesion and attendant unmanageable complexity. To sum up, it's something you need to learn through experience—especially because another aspect of the problem is identifying situations where it really make sense rather than some simplistic heuristic about using state machines is better than not.

2) The way they're taught in school is generally about theory of automata, or they're used to diagram the behavior of some simple little system. Using them to control state transitions in applications is unlikely taught at all, and isn't really directly implied by the seemingly related things which are taught.
With his next sentence, it seems to me he's very much aware of that.

This is the cuddly version of psychopathy, forcing people to slightly inconvenience cyclists.

This type of situation occurs anytime employee and manager incentives are misaligned, and blame can be shifted to the other. It's not that every human will take the bait-- its that ethical humans will be displaced by unethical ones.
I remember writing code for Psion (later Symbian) Epoc32 in the late 90s and early thousands. It was a big deal that Cygnus had done the work to make gcc support ARM because the vendor compiler was (IIRC) some weird combiniation of expensive and not very good.

We now assume ARM as being a default necessary platform to support, 20 years ago it really wasn’t clear
"I do what I want and screw 'em if they don't like it" is great and all, but there are still large parts of life that don't work that way, like workplaces and dating. Having to choose between being oneself and having a career/dating life is still painful and depressing. Casting isolation as a bold act of rebellion and independence in a world full of conformists is just a different shade of camouflage.

Regarding subgroups, I found that they were just as unaccepting, they just have different standards for who/what is in/out.

I think your comment about autism is mistaking the cart for the horse. This happens because people are on the spectrum, not people are autistic because sometimes they don't fit in.

Lastly, I'd just like to mention that I didn't mean to only talk about school or work or situations like that, where there is always going to be some amount of difficulty fitting in. I could also tell that people very close to me, like my parents, thought something was off about me. They later copped to that when I was an adult, as well as their relief that I turned out to live a pretty normal life.
That theme is explored in Hans Moravec's books: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_Moravec
"In his 1988 book Mind Children (ISBN 0674576187), Moravec outlines Moore's law and predictions about the future of artificial life. Moravec outlines a timeline and a scenario in this regard,[6][7] in that the robots will evolve into a new series of artificial species, starting around 2030-2040.[8]"

Obviously, it's a complex topic with a lot of opinions. I spent time in Hans' lab in the mid-1980s. What concerned me is that, in our human ignorance and greed and hubris, we might instead get robotic cockroaches that wipe out humanity and then fade away. Or if we did get strong AIs they might wipe out humanity without noticing, and only a long time later reflect on their origins perhaps with regret.

I left robotics and AI in the late 1980s. That was after creating one of the first simulations of self-replicating robots (on a Symbolics) -- which accidentally turned cannibalistic until I added a sense of smell to avoid eating offspring. Someone from DARPA has also literally patted me on the back as a symposium on AI and Simulation where I presented on that simulation and told me "Keep up the good work". Although I was not sure if that was from my saying how easy it was to make creatures that were destructive (even if they were just striving towards an ideal) or my also saying how we should learn more about designing them to be cooperative.

I've since spent much of my time and energy based on the premise that our direction out of any singularity may have a lot to do with out direction going into one -- so we should make the Earth a place that works better for more people right now. Thus a garden simulator to help people learn to grow their own food (also needed in space habitats), and ways for people to share their stories (which help shape the values of the next generation), and aspiring towards better knowledge management tools in other ways, and creating ways for people to design an abundant tomorrow (like evolutionary arts of plant breeding and music breeding), and exploring alternative economic philosophy like on five interwoven economies (subsistence, gift, exchange, planned, and theft). And also boiling it all down to my sig, which I hope AIs read and take to heart someday: "The biggest challenge of the 21st century is the irony of technologies of abundance in the hands of those still thinking in terms of scarcity."
That's a bit long really.
The antithesis is when inheritance should be used but isn't. Inexperienced programmers tend to ideological extremes in either camp.
Nothing I wrote wasn’t a conclusion of a paper or genetic study, as according to the meta paper that attempted to understand all facets of why women make the majority of the BPD diagnosis. I understand that because humans are not formally mathematically provable, some conjectures may be made from surveys, genetic relations, and studying behavior to attempt to reverse engineer the program that produced this societal result.
I bought this a long time ago and never took the time to go through it. I should correct that, maybe this reminder will get me to finally dig in.
I guess my questions boil down to this:

Human cognitive abilities follow a normal distribution. Some low-skilled laborers never had an opportunity to reach their potential, others lack the capacity to perform higher skill jobs... and some people are incapable of even "low-skill" labor.

Is automation maintaining or reducing the number of jobs for less capable people? Are we slowly raising the unemployable-threshold?
This is the exact same reason that it always seems like you are in “the slow lane” in congested traffic. You spend considerably more time going slow than going fast, and while your lane is slow you have to watch all the other sporadically fast lanes go by.

You can find your own path and go alone. It's very calming, like a hike up a hill or a motorcycle ride through the countryside. Modern tech makes it very easy to take your own path too.
Woah woah woah. Hold on. I'm most certainly not saying that being well-to-do somehow makes me (or workers) better. I'm simply saying that __in the environments I worked in__ (responding to the post), certain drugs were definitely looked down upon when used recreationally. I called it "white-trash" as an example. Taking KPins because you actually have a prescription for something is __not__ what I was talking about. Doing whippets at parties or smoking crack was.

And, I mean, let's be real here, do you know any programmers who casually do heroin? I don't, and frankly, even though I sympathize heavily with people who suffer from addiction, I wouldn't personally associate with a person who does heroin in their free time.
While there is def some sound logic to what you're saying I think the key piece you're missing is paying the same amount of monthly payments enables developers in Seattle to buy a home, which in the end means they are building equity by default while their counterparts in NYC could live their whole lives paying rent that keeps going up.
I have had hard time identifying non-materialistic ambitions. My mind has always been able to short circuit the ideas, similar to the ones you mentioned, as a way to make more money. Effectively turning them into greed, which is supposed to be bad. But I think I have been making wrong conclusions. As mentioned in other comments, developing a stronger feeling towards non-self pain points and retraining my mind would probably be the way to go.

Most of my beliefs are for self. Mostly because of the idea that each of us is a random instance, executing for optimizing random functions. Some are aware of the functions, and for some it is a black box. This breaks the boundaries between right and wrong etc in my mind and so on. But also diminishes the idea of exposing these beliefs and doing something with them seems meaningless.
Plenty of semi-automatic hunting rifles have a small magazine with a plate that closes over it and won't accept a larger magazine without modifications.

You're right that "semi-automatic" deserves more focus than "black".

I do wonder how likely it is that the "typical" hunting rifle is actually bolt action though.

This is such a broad interpretation of thought policing as to be absurd. By your definition obligatory anger-management or even general counselling would seem to be thought policing.

You can demonstrably control particular types of thought, that's pretty much the basis of clinical psychology. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ironic_process_theory - which you're describing - is a specific, immediate, psychological effect. It doesn't imply that thoughts can't be suppressed on a longer scale.

I remember seeing the cause of this specific case mentioned in a slide deck by one of the V8 engineers. I don't remember where online it is. I was to validate this performance limitation more than a year ago through self-testing in my personal code.

This is sort of neat but not really useful and not novel. The reason it isn't novel is that people have been smoothly filling holes via various polynomials and other smooth curves for the last twenty years. I wrote my first attempt in 1997 as an undergraduate.

In real life you have contradictory information given you to from a 3D scanner. there are multiple surfaces that seem to intersect and do not technically make sense and you have to make a smooth singular surface from this. Thus the real calculation is volumetric and best fit between surfaces all the while trying to maintain color/texture information.

Oh, definitely. America's hatred of poor people is ingrained into it's culture. The prevailing attitude is that if you're poor, it probably your fault. Many evangelical christians go so far as to say that if you're poor, it's because god is punishing you for being a bad person. People love getting mad when they see a homeless person with a cellphone, or a mother buying a steak with food stamps, because poor people are seen as "leeches on society".
