CMV is a great community. I also found its dismissal unpersuasive.

In my opinion, the phrase "discouragingly few" shows the author's unrealistic expectation, not the quality of CMV debates.
World Champion chessboxers are apparently rated in the mid-1900s ELO, which is readily achievable by enthusiasts and not particularly impressive.

As a chess player, this makes sense to me. A super-elite grandmaster will win eventually against a skilled amateur, but the amateur can often find ways to stall positions or drag things out. On the other hand, an elite boxer can literally kill their opponent in seconds if the opponent is sufficiently below their level.

I can’t imagine a setup for this type of contest that doesn’t heavily weight boxing skill to making the chess component nearly superfluous (or at least effectively a tie-break). Mike Tyson against Magnus Carlson wouldn’t last five seconds longer than the first round of chess. A skilled amateur boxer vs. Magnus Carlson might take thirty seconds more than that.

Somewhat unrelated, but maybe you can shoot me down since you seem to have some experience?

Metal is an incredibly good conductor on its own, and the properties of thermal paste (typically) are just barely better than air. So long as your cpu and heatsink are fairly flat surfaces and mashed together physically, it seems like either forgoing or having the absolute minimum amount of paste is ideal. I've used a razor to leave an absolutely minimal layer of paste (e.g. filling in sub-millimeter surface structure) on my latest build, and cpu temperatures are well within a reasonable range. But I'm also not trying to OC the cpu or anything.

Thoughts?

Using Airtable as a full blown CMS
Hey folks I review Wordpress plugins at wpplugincheck. Recently I came across (Airpress)[https://wordpress.org/plugins/airpress/]. This awesome plugin lets you connect to your Airtable base and fetch records from there.

It supports caching and has a API which is very similar to ACF/Active record style.
[Here's a review of it](https://wpplugincheck.com/airpress-review/). Its more like a review/tutorial as I've outlined the steps on how to use it.

Let me know if you have any questions.
I'm generally inclined to agree with that sentiment. But I do have a much stronger reaction to a lie when it directly undermines trust I have placed in somebody. If a colleague or employee tells me a lie about their personal life, I'm not going to feel as strongly about it as if they were to lie to me about something related to work. I don't trust my colleagues to tell me detailed and accurate information about their personal life, but I do trust them to do their work with honesty and integrity. Although any lie is still going to undermine trust in general to some extent.
You are incorrect. There is a fact of the matter as to what is good.

I do not mean to say that my beliefs as to what is good are always correct. It is quite possible for me to be wrong about such things.

But I am not incorrect when I say that there is a fact of the matter.

I'm glad to answer any questions anybody might have, or honestly, pick up a copy of "Freemasonry for Dummies" from Amazon or a library. It's a very well written book, and I got to meet the author, Bro. Chris Hodapp, a few years ago when he spoke at one of our formal dinner meetings here in Houston. Great guy. It's one of the books I recommend to anybody who is interested in the organization and wants to learn more and possibly look into joining.

no, we don't perform destructive writes so we are able to simply mark a region of the log as to be skipped. this approach also allows us to move back and forth within the time domain even after a backtrack.

I guess I'm not sure what you're referring to. Apartment complexes filter more on credit score, while I was referring to criminal record background checks, which were what you mentioned in your article. And if you really believed that, why did you get background checks on your tenants after they had moved out? That said, I don't especially believe most apartment complexes 'don't want the lower class filling their spaces with trash' so I guess it's not relevant.
Typography doesn't feel like a moat to me. If a competitor offered better service than AirBnB, nobody would stick around solely because of the typeface. Best you can say is, good design could contribute to a moat, and typography is one part of that.

I'm just getting started with scotch. At first I tried Lagavulin, and the long iodine finish really put me off. Then I got a Highland Park Valkyrie and loved it. The other day I cautiously tried a bit of the Lagavulin again and liked it better; I'm not sure if whether it's from my tastebuds being different, three months of oxidation, or just not drinking much of it.

What would you recommend for smoky scotches that don't have much iodine? (Talisker is on my short list right now.)
I've heard a story about an older lady who was confused and needed work done on her porch.. she contacted the local Masonic lodge for help.. and in a few days, a bunch of the guys showed up at her house and rebuilt her porch for her. Stuff like that is what we do. My Lodge takes donated bicycles from local stores (Wal-Mart, etc, where they were display models and can't be sold as new), fixes them up, and we donate them to various kid's organizations around town. We do a breakfast for teachers at a local school a couple times a year.. collect money for a couple of scholarships we award to local high school students.. and of course everyone has heard of the Shriners Hospitals for Children - every Shriner is a Mason, although not every Mason is a Shriner. It's what we call an "Appendant Body", an organization that you can join and participate in after you've gone through the three basic degrees of Freemasonry.

And you know, instead of falsely claiming that everybody has a price -- just name your own price, instead of projecting your own corruption onto everybody else.

> These men were able to give the counsel they gave because they were operating at an enormous psychological distance from the people who would be maimed and killed by the weapons systems that would result from the ideas they communicated to their sponsors. The lesson, therefore, is that the scientist and technologist must, by acts of will and of the imagination, actively strive to reduce such psychological distances, to counter the forces that tend to remove him from the consequences of his actions. He must -- it is as simple as this -- think of what he is actually doing. He must learn to listen to his own inner voice. He must learn to say "No!"

> Finally, it is the act itself that matters. When instrumental reason is the sole guide to action, the acts it justifies are robbed of their inherent meanings and thus exist in an ethical vacuum. I recently heard an officer of a great university publicly defend an important policy decision he had made, one that many of the university's students and faculty opposed on moral grounds, with the words: "We could have taken a moral stand, but what good would that have done?" But the moral good of a moral act inheres in the act itself. That is why an act can itself ennoble or corrupt the person who performs it. The victory of instrumental reason in our time has brought about the virtual disappearance of this insight and thus perforce the delegitimation of the very idea of nobility.

Budapest is an amazing place, wish I knew about this when I visited.
Ahh. Well, if you consider price a function of supply and demand, then complaining about a price is likely actually a complaint about supply or about demand.

If I say "Wow, the price of a Tesla Model S is too high", I am implicitly saying either "I wish demand for the Model S suddenly fell, leading to a large price drop on existing units" or "I wish a lot more Model S sedans magically got manufactured so that the profit margin available to Tesla on the units sold would be reduced to the point where I could afford one".

Both of those sentiments are fairly silly wishthink. Similarly, so is the sentiment that "Regulators should pass a law requiring all new Model S vehicles to be sold for $20K".

I could define myself as being a victim of the over priced Model S, or I could define myself as being the victim of insufficient wages to afford one at the actual retail price.

I'm not sure why in the case of housing it seems logical to blame the price of the housing instead of blaming the wages that make some standard of living difficult to afford.

For some people, even "affordable" things like community college or McDonalds food is expensive and out of reach. So why not focus on how McDonalds is not "affordable".

One reason why McDonalds is affordable to many is because of the existence of other competitors. My comment above meant to point out that there are many, many ways in which the regulatory landscape limits the number of competitors each landlord faces, driving up prices.

We've had point in time restore for quite some time. Backtrack is different. It moves you to a different point using the same instance. Since we don't do destructive writes to blocks (it is log-structured storage), we can simply mark a portion of the log as "ignored". It is a server feature, not a UI enhancement.
I thought this was an interesting point:

> In his 2010 book The Honor Code: How Moral Revolutions Happen, philosopher Kwame Anthony Appiah shows that arguments are not what change people’s minds on moral questions — honor is. The end of dueling, or Chinese foot-binding, or the Atlantic slave trade, did not come about, Appiah writes, because of new or more convincing arguments — the arguments against these practices had been in place, sometimes for centuries, before most people were turned against them. What changed was the “honor world” — the group of people who understand and acknowledge the same codes of behavior. Dueling was illegal before it came to seem dishonorable, in part because a newly created popular press brought the aristocracy’s honor code into discussion in lower class circles. This exposure to ridicule or mimicry put a new complexion on a practice that had persisted despite all logical argument against it.

It seems like the culture of rationality, logic, and debating is itself one of these "honor worlds", where defending your positions against logical attack is an expected code of behavior. If you're not part of this culture, you may not be prepared to defend yourself, even if what you're saying is totally true.

I think this is really what the article is talking about -- not that debate is intrinsically bad, but that it only operates well within a particular cultural context. Since most important decisions affect more than just rationalist debaters, the tools of rationalist debate may not be enough to make a correct decision.

Caol Ila 12yo is very smokey, with no iodine at all really.
As the previous commentor said, this isn't point in time restore or a change in our processes. It is a change to our database and storage engine to mark regions of log-structured storage as if they did not occur. That's why we can complete a Backtrack in a few seconds - we're just moving some pointers around and restarting the database.
Those are the main reasons I do post with my real name everywhere I can on the Internet.

What happens next - do patents and copyrights have owner’s right to be forgotten?

If so, then who do you sue for stealing your copyright?

The intent is good - let me be clear about that. But the implementation is having second order affects that are going to f* with things in a big way because it wasn’t thought through as thoroughly as it should have been. *

* Key thought here is that it might be extremely difficult to think through all the second order effects, which suggests to me that a better phase in process should have been implemented.

EDIT - Not sure why this is being voted down. If i’m Not clear here, then please see my follow-on comment for (hopefully) a more clear view of my position. I’m not saying Whois is stupid - I’m saying GDPR is (due to the lack of thinking around second-order effects).
Dunno, I really hated Trinitron screens due to both horizontal strips as well as seeing individual pixel triplets and gaps between them (I guess my eyes are super sensitive to parallel/perpendicular lines; can't look happily at non-retina LCDs either). I found Samsung's Invar variants in their SyncMaster (757DFX and higher going up to 2048x1536) superior and much more natural (likely my eyes aren't that sensitive to diagonal non-perpendicular directions).
That's not correct. We made a change to mark portions of our log-structured storage as though they should not have occurred. It is a totally different approach than point-in-time restore.
If you're in the US or anywhere else with NTSC, the horizontal scan rate (and thus the whine of the flyback transformer) is 15.75 kHz :)

525 lines / 2 for interlacing * 60 fields per second = 15750
You're right - it is a lot faster. That's because we don't change any data blocks. we just mark a portion of the log to be ignored.

A better rule than SB827 would be a rule for every office worker employed in the city, there must be an equivalent housing unit provided by that same city such that the jobs per resident ratio is maintained.

If Menlo Park wants to allow Facebook to build an office complex to support 2,000 more Facebook employees than it needs to create 2,000 more residential options for those employees. Otherwise Redwood City and East Palo Alto have to shoulder the burden of housing, education and other services for those new residents without the benefit of the tax basis.

Or if San Francisco wants to build 5 more Salesforce Towers, San Francisco should be required to present a plan to build 5 neighboring residential towers to support those office towers. Or pass on the opportunity and encourage Salesforce to take a look at Oakland/San Jose/Sacramento/Fresno.

Let's put it this way, if Wiener really had concerned about housing, then the really good solution would be to let Brisbane build the Salesforce/Uber office towers in Brisbane and then for Wiener find a transit rich location within San Francisco for the housing development to support those office towers. From an outsider perspective, it just seems like SF is perfectly happy to scoop up the office/commercial rent tax revenue and let Brisbane do the heavy lifting of housing those office workers [1].

FYI - a Stated Meeting at a Masonic Lodge is basically Robert's Rules of Order, with a little more pomp and circumstance and fancy titles and "jeweled collars" (felt and chromed pot metal) for the officer positions. Being a Mason and speaking in front of an entire Lodge helped me get over my fear of public speaking - because everyone else in the room had been through the exact same scenario, and nobody was going to make fun of me.

The "Degrees" of Freemasonry:
- you go through a ceremony
- you memorize a series of questions and answers that explain the ceremony you went through
- you present your "proficiency" in that degree - reciting the questions and answers - in front of an open lodge. The members of the Lodge then vote on your proficiency.
- Once you prove proficiency, then you progress to the next degree ritual/ceremony.

There are three degrees:
1st Degree: Entered Apprentice
2nd Degree: Fellow Craft
3rd Degree: Master Mason
The ceremonies and ritual are based around the allegory of the craftsmen that built King Solomon's Temple, although you don't have to be a Christian. All that's required is a belief in a higher power, and you swear your ritual oaths on the "Holy Book" of your choosing. I had friends joke that I should have used the Sun Field Engineer Handbook for mine :D

Once you're a Master Mason, you're a full member of your Lodge and entitled to vote on new member applicants, other people's proficiencies, hold office in the Lodge, and so forth.

If you hear someone referring to a "32nd Degree Mason", that means they joined the appendant body of Scottish Rite Masonry, which is just some "add on" degrees and ceremonies and another Lodge to attend meetings with! It doesn't mean that 32nd degree is "Better" than someone who is just a plain Master Mason.

If you hear of somone who is a 33rd Degree Mason - that means they have been awarded that 33rd Degree in the Scottish Rite due to great and long years of service to the Masonic community and their community at large; it's an honorary thing (think of it like an honorary college degree). There's also the York Rite degrees, but I'm not as informed in those. Those guys have big feathers on their hats and carry swords in their rituals.

Data aggregation is how the Terminal built its user-base, but messaging is what actually keeps people there. Bloomberg Chat is where most large trades get negotiated -- so if you don't have a login, you don't really have an identity as a trader. Makes it hard to switch.

It's a terrific example of network effect as moat. Several years ago, six of the largest banks got together to fund Symphony as a Bloomberg-killing chat tool [1]. More than $100M invested later, it's still only successfully competing with Bloomberg for internal chat at financial firms [2]. Inter-company chats are still happening mainly on full price terminals that costs 100x what Symphony costs for a seat.
