After mulling over your response for a bit, I wanted to reach out and clarify that this term is not really "UK specific". Consider "knighthood", the British, as well as other countries granted knighthood to their subjects - "knight" is not "UK specific". That does not make "knight" universally applicable, however. For instance, one cannot become a knight of the United States of America. Likewise, "landed gentry" is a title granted to people under British, Polish, and Chinese systems in the past.

It's debatable whether MWOD is guilty of playing a dangerous game of propaganda by peddling low quality definitions online with high SEO. They have an ethical obligation to not revise words out from under the population unless, of course, they are a non-neutral party with a particular agenda.

It's not fair to people, like yourself, who want to advance strongly-felt arguments to spoil those arguments with terms based on these weak definitions just because they showed up high in Google Search results.

As the terms our society uses to communicate continue to degrade into group-specific definitions, we will generally lose the ability to communicate effectively across groups; and, in turn, the ability to compromise and negotiate in good faith.

In other words, one's political opponents might interpret a speech differently due to the use of a different dictionary rather than (merely) disagreement with a particular argument.

To glimpse at one dystopian future, consider that the recent phenomenon of declaring one's personal pronouns might soon include identification of one's personal dictionary, one's personal thesaurus, one's personal collection of idioms, and one's personal grammar.
I dont get your point, why is the UK system long-term unstable and rife with corruption just because we dont elect prosecutors and dont try to avoid court cases with plea bargains?

Even targeting hardware, it's not as bad as people make it out to be, provided you scope platform support and features appropriately.

I wonder if it’s just cyclical.

Nazism and similar ideologies are clearly attractive. They hook into some fundamental part of the human psyche. They are also repellant. Their success depends on which of these factors is stronger.

A big part of what makes them repellant is seeing what the real world consequences are. It’s hard to find Nazism attractive when you’ve seen it produce genocide and the near total destruction of its country in war.

But that was a long time ago. There aren’t many people left alive who remember that time. The horrors are going from concrete to abstract. I hope it’s not true, but maybe we can’t shift away from it until we have another example of how bad it is.
So...having failed to convince everyone that austerity would lead to the fall of Western Civilization now the Keynesians are saying that austerity is the cause of Neo-Nazism?

Not that I'm surprised, very little of their pseudo-scientific mumbo-jumbo (complete with equations) surprises me anymore.

What I don't understand is they claim austerity is the cause of Trump's rise to power when Clinton was pretty much the poster-child of the anti-austerity movement, I don't think anyone seriously considered she wouldn't continue following Obama's economic roadmap as opposed to Trump's claims of reigning in government deficit spending and waste.
"Making predictions" sounds too broad. Everything humans do is basically pattern matching and prediction making.

>try to toggle a comment in vim with one simple key combination...

Do you mean to say it's hard to do in vim, sublime, both or something else? In most editors I've used (except vim), it's CMD+/ (or CTRL+/).

I probably didn't get what you mean, just wanted to make sure :)
I've taken to using the OS X client for Google Music, where I've backed up all my mp3s, but this looks great for when I eventually leave that ecosystem (I still use Winamp on Windows). The simpler the better as far as I'm concerned. Although the ability to search the playlist and queue items would be nice.
The idea that there is a conflict of prediction vs. reality, and a simple failure to connect disparate sensations into a whole are nothing alike. The former is a characteristic of something like motion or VR sickness; your body expects one thing, but receives conflicting information. Integration failure doesn’t require prediction, just different sensations not creating a whole impression.

The author describes experiencing hunger as a bunch of disconnected sensations, that don’t add up to one thing. She feels pain in her stomach, irritability, tiredness, but doesn’t integrate that into “I’m hungry” and just experiences them as different incidental feelings indicative of nothing in particular.
IMO,autism tends to effect high-level cognitive domains because those domains depends on a lot of neural machinery. The particular neurochemical pathways that disrupt those high-level cognitive domains will differ between individuals though, and the gene-environment interactions involved seems to be a total mishmash of mutations in genes and environmental factors regulating the brain...If more genes are affected relating to attention, we might give a diagnosis of ADHD. It IS a spectrum. So when a title says Autism stems from problems with prediction, I would rather say that prediction and balance between prediction and stimuli sensation are frequently disrupted because they are high level forms of cognition that can get disrupted in a number of ways.

I am still new to Autism research, but in my own work and others, I am seeing that ASD is related to a reduction of neuro-typical sex differences. However, I do not think I'd say that Autism stems from reduced sexual differentiation. I'd characterize it as a piece of the puzzle, and that disrupted neural machinery will likely disrupt the processes of sexual neuro-differentiation.

I try to be very humble about making claims about Autism, because I have begun to see how truly complicated and multivariate the disorder(s), an dmainly want to focus on my efforts to aspects of the disorder that affect quality of life (and certainly not extinguish all neurodiversity).
folding is a convenience feature of org-mode, and really not what it's all about.

I'm sure most of the individual features are available in vim and other editors, but it's tying everything together in a neat package that's the main draw of org-mode.
Why imagine? We experienced this in the 1860s. Unfortunately our reaction was not to veer hard in the opposite direction, and much of the rebels’ ideology persists in our government to this day.
But why? Why should web pages that don't require javascript require it?
You can fit any object at any size through a an arbitrarily small and arbitrarily shaped hole. Just blend it an send it through as a stream with the same cross section as the hole. The naysaers will say that this is cheating because you are changing the shape of the object, but the trick mentioned here is just changing the shape of the hole from a square of one perimeter length into a rectangle with the same perimeter length. Similar yet simpler trick for those who don’t have a blendtec ready at hand.
The ability to fold is defintively important to org-mode, but that's not really the point. Folding is a core-feature of Emacs (hs-minor-mode: https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Hi...) and not inherent to org-mode.

org-mode is a major-mode and covers a little more than that^^
Or possibly, how problems with prediction may stem from autism.
I haven't seen him in a very long time. It doesn't treat the psychosis, as I mentioned, but it seems to help the anxiety and distress that it causes.

I don't know what balance of THC/CBD he chooses to consume. I think that if he smokes enough of anything besides THC-only strains, he should get some benefit from it. I should give him a call and inquire sometime. (I live on the opposite coast.)

I know that one can buy high-CBD strains in states where it's legal, and I would hope that he does. It's also possible that tolerance for the different psychoactives changes at different rates. If that's the case, he might have developed a tolerance to the THC faster than CBD. I have no empirical evidence behind this claim, but I just know he's doing okay. Or at least more so than he had been.
Wait, doesn't Haskell support mutually recursive generic container types since, like, forever? I think Steve is wrong on that one...
Do vim's folds give you a full literate programming environment with support for executing code, saving results in vars, WEB syntax, etc? From what I'm familiar with, vim's folding is a lot closer to outline-mode[1], which org relies on for folding. The folding is a very small part of org-mode's functionality.

For a (better, IMO) light editor based on scintilla, try textadept. Full of awesome. As hackable as vim and emacs, but in lua. Sane defaults. Also terminal version.
I think an interesting point here is that you often need to learn the distinguishing features themselves - especially when classifying quite similar things. as a child I found it hard to distinguish plants from each other, until I learned to look at features like flowers, leaf shape, bark, branch patterns etc.
I feel like Musk might be gearing up to undercut this project...
Not completely surprising, given that we saw similar effects in Greece, during the austerity measures there.
Why do I need to feel hungry in order to eat?

Certainly an automatic feeding mechanism could exist where I eat without the sensation of hunger, sex without the sensation of lust, kill without anger and so on.

Because that's an incredibly brittle solution. Imagine yourself in an environment where you have to track your prey for hours or days at a time in order to hunt. How are you going to accomplish that if your "automatic feeding mechanism" takes over as soon as it decides you need food?

Our sensations and emotions combine to regulate our behaviour, not control it absolutely. The ability to make short-term sacrifices in order to achieve long-term goals is dependent on our ability to ignore or override these sensations.
In Debian 'unstable' means that the package versions installed aren't stable. That is, there is a high level of package churn just like any rolling release. It isn't any more buggy/crash prone than any other rolling release. There is just a risk at running bleeding edge vs. vetted/known working software.

>As of the moment we only have the political appetite for the spending cuts and tax cuts.

if you're about US then it is spending increase and tax cuts. "Spending cuts" in US is just a rhetoric in order to redirect money from some political opponents' programs into political allies' program while overall increasing the spending.
There are at least several possibilities

1) People, who don't want to be affected by global warming. Right now nobody is affected enough to pay and it is too costly (estimates are $500/metric ton, while emission per capita is around 20 tonnes/year).

2) Captured carbon can be sold commercially for use in plastics industry, at some point it will be cheaper, than oil/gas extraction.

3) Carbon emission trading already exists, some companies even doing it voluntary, like Google. Direct air capture can piggy-back that system.
I think you're pushing your agenda pretty hard here. Not that everything you say is entirely wrong either, but I think you're overstating benefits of one side and ignoring the others'.

You mention that the big OTAs seek (online only btw!) price parity. But you don't mention that the largest of the OTAs hasn't enforced it much for many years if ever (source: I wrote code for price parity analysis for them back in 2011). You also conveniently omit that MFNs have been tremendously weakened or outlawed in much of the EU.

I'd also like to challenge the notion that direct bookings are always better for you as a traveler. Hotels do play funny games with customers (eg overbookings) all the time (source: family from the hotel industry and I worked for an OTA where you could experience a day in the shoes of a customer service agent). Booking through large OTAs had two possible (albeit not guaranteed) advantages. The OTAs generally consider the traveler their customer. Not the hotel. So if there is a conflict ("I'm sorry - it looks like I dont have your reservation on file..."), they will put their considerable influence behind the shunned traveler. The fact that online ratings have significant impact on the rate of bookings that hotels get also means that they have an additional incentive to not mistreat the customers that can submit these ratings on the large OTAs.

Finally, let me make one more argument in favor of OTAs. I'll claim that consumers WANT to be able to efficiently search for accommodation that matches their criteria incl budget. I sure do! And it just makes sense: do you all remember the times when you had to call lots of hotels before you finally found that one that had a free room? Travel sucked a great deal more. And it was a lot more a matter of luck whether you'd hit a good one. So people WILL use modern technology to search places to stay. Without the OTAs, the search engines will fill that gap. And lo and behold: a very, very large percentage of the commission that OTAs charge goes to online performance marketing. (Some of those numbers are public so I could likely quote, but I don't want to accidentally disclose anything I contractually mustn't, so please look them up in the filings.)

Disclosure: used to work for an OTA, now for Google (but not anywhere near the travel or ads products).

If the original investors are also living there (or bought in), then the cheaper housing costs make up for the lower returns, or no returns at all. The cheap housing is the return.

Now technically you could argue that the outcome would be the same if you lived more expensively and you were an investor in some other for-profit housing with high returns. But that’s usually not the case, as the cash amounts you’d need initially are too high for most people.
The magicians trick of "levitating" an object by moving the invisible support to avoid hitting the hula hoop that tests for supports, is using ambient 4th dimensions.
This is 100% true. Who is holding you back to address things if they aren't working? I've literally never in my professional life have encountered a situation where honest feedback wasn't appreciated.

If you encounter situations where you are being micromanaged, try to place yourself in the role of the one who is micromanaging and try to see his challenges. That person is just somebody who is trying do his best. No one wants to suck the joy and energy out of his or her colleagues.

This is interesting, my wife experienced something exactly the opposite. She started taking Vitamin D couple of years ago since she was quite deficient just like you. After a year or so of 5k IU daily, she started experiencing severe eye issues, including daily crust buildup, irritation, redness, and blepharitis.

We tried all sorts of drops and cleaning regimes to no avail. She went for another blood test and learned her Vitamin D levels were through the roof (somewhere around 90+). She immediately stopped the Vitamin D supplements and after a few weeks, all her eye issues were gone!

Goes to show we definitely need some good studies examining long-term Vitamin D intake.
Well, I haven't intentionally tried to do fasting beyond the 18-20 hour mark during chronic IF. The afternoons could be tough on the second day for me. Actually it forced me to find a nice meditation spot where I could spend my lunch calming down and attending to my focus. I was probably a much better co-worker on sunny days. Oh, I should mention that it would have been really easy to just work through lunch given I had higher energy and focus levels. Eventually though, a walk or something active mid-day became essential if I didn't want to end my days in robo-mode.

Evenings were always easier for me on the tail end of the IF routine; I sometimes enjoy cooking; I had an excuse to plenty of whatever sounded good, and when you have a four hour window to eat, food tastes so much better its shocking.
If you are alone in your project and never used JavaScript - don't use React Native. It won't give you any benefits at all. It's that simple.

It may be useful if you know and like JS already or your have a team of web developers and you need them to build mobile app for you or your client. They should be able to do it without much to learn and your will have an app that can be potentially run on Android and iOS.
I think you're missing the point.
The pitch internally at Facebook for React Native wasn't that UI code could be written once and used everywhere. Instead, their goal was to let engineers move between web, iOS, and Android development without retraining. This lets them have one photos team, for example, that is responsible for the photos portion of the product across all supported platforms.

Trump also promised a huge infrastructure spending plan and a border wall. I wouldn't say Clinton was especially anti-austerity either, that was Sanders' thing.
Tengen: Atari Games vs. Nintendo (2015) [video]
I'm afraid I have to dissent here.

Compare the footage at 2:10-2:15 with that at 3:20-3:25. He wants the result to be that the box starts sliding at the same angle in both cases, and that's what should happen if what they teach in physics 101 is correct, but that is not actually what happens in the video. In fact, the box starts to slide noticeably earlier in the second case (which is exactly what the off-screen crew members predicted). But he simply glosses over this and says "within one degree the same". What is what should have happened, but is not what actually happened. This is a very unscientific attitude, and I think this does a tremendous amount of damage to the popularization of science, particularly in the face of accusations that science is just another religion with its own dogmas, high-priesthood, etc.

The correct reaction here would have been, "Hm, that's interesting, it started sliding earlier. That's not what I expected, and is not what theory predicts. Let's see if we can figure out why this happened."

It's also kind of lame that we have to rely on his callouts to know what angle the board is at. It would have been trivial to set up a pointer that would have been visible to the camera.

P.S. Yes, I know that he "explains" the discrepancy at 3:40, but his explanation is bogus. First, the discrepancy is much bigger than the "half a degree" that he explains away. And second, his explanation is actually a hypothesis that is easily tested: just run the experiment multiple times. He could easily have done this and again demonstrated how science is actually supposed to work, but he didn't.

P.P.S. He does it again at 7:02 where the longer cylinder is clearly beating the shorter one by nearly a full cylinder radius right before he proclaims "no difference".
> Can you not take payments through Visa?

Sounds like the problem is that fraud/chargebacks are more common, which Visa won't protect from. And for that matter, if you have too much fraud Visa might just dump you as too risky.
Org-mode and babel sound like good ideas, but in practice I've found it very finicky to use.

My main problem with it is that, unlike with executing commands in the shell, with org you don't get any progress, and emacs seems to hang while running the command.

For example, running apt update tends to freeze emacs without any progress reporting for a few minutes.

I'm hoping that I'm doing something wrong and that someone can chime in with a suggestion, because I really like org-mode, and I really like the idea of doing devops using it.
Can someone explain this to me? I've had an issue with Postgres on Debian stable because Postgres had to address a CVE which changed its dump format in a backwards-incompatible way. This meant that my local Debian on my laptop couldn't load a dump I created on a patched Ubuntu server. Postgres 9.6.8 is the one that fixes this CVE in the 9.6 series.

This says the stable package is still vulnerable:

https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2018-1058

But Postgres doesn't show up here:

https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/status/release/s...

The 9.6.8 version indeed isn't on stable yet. So is the latter link just buggy? Or is Postgres getting filtered out?

Edit: Never mind, after messing with the filter (guess there's no Debian Security Advisory for this CVE), I was able to get Postgres in the second link:

https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/status/release/s...
