I'm all for open discussion. I'll discuss anything with anyone.

I was just responding in particular to the point about gay marriage because I think, as I said, by definition it's difficult to make that argument without a premise that you deserve more than the other side. Similarly, if you made the argument that someone does not deserve to vote because they use a wheelchair, I would think the same thing.

Perhaps in some Voltaire-ideal we should have an in-depth argument on the merits, but I don't particularly blame them for just saying "fuck this". It's not exactly a good faith argument that's conductive to a useful or productive conversation.

To use your parental leave example, contrast two arguments. One begins from "I think that both the mother and father deserve equal treatment" versus "Women are sinful, therefore they deserve fewer days off". You may earnestly believe both arguments and be attempting to make a reasoned, good faith argument, but one of them is more likely to result in "fuck this" and one of them is more likely to result in a useful discussion.

With regards to your point about a "common trope", you should consider talking to adults on the Left.

E: We've now reached the post column width that indicates that we both should have better things to do.
`connect` does a _lot_ of work to ensure that your own components only re-render when necessary:

- It checks to see if the root Redux state is different than last time, and bails out if it's the same reference under the assumption that nothing changed

- It checks to see if the return values from your `mapState` function are shallow-equality different than last time, and again bails out if they're the same

- The handling for `mapState` and `mapDispatch` is heavily memoized to cut down on unneeded work.

If you have specific performance concerns with a Redux app, please let me know - I'd be happy to offer advice and point you to possible solutions. But, a blanket statement that "Redux is quite slow" is meaningless without context for what's happening.
I think the percentage of the population that desire genuine and thought-provoking discussions may be smaller than those who simply want validation and being part of a like-minded group.

Yeah I'm not saying it's not important but it's still sad and embarrassing to brag about it at the top of the list of your company benefits.

So the deal is "salary that isn't going up + a bunch of gimmicks".

In fact many of the "benefits" are designed to benefit the company such as social events outside work hours that is basically free team building activity for the company.

Or other gimmicks to trick employees into working longer hours.

Then they wonder why people hop.

Because there's nothing else other than that salary going and someone next door is offering 10-20% more.

Real and tangible benefits takes some guts to offer and they don't have it.

It could be things such as extra paid leave days, highly paid overtime or no overtime culture, shorter work days for usual market pay (say 9 to 4), private offices.

Employees will sure as hell miss a 9 to 4 job a lot more than your snack-packed kitchen and beer on tap.
We've got a sugar tax here in the UK as our newest form of indulgence tax. I wonder how a social media tax would go down with the public.
Commendations for your bravery in raising that viewpoint. Assuming it’s a good idea to tax social media, do you also think it’s a good idea to implement the tax as a captive portal at the ISP level?

The assertion ("most wealth comes from hard work and sacrifice") is both humorous and provably incorrect. I stand by my reply.

As the probability of a condition triggering failure increases, there is a decreasing probability that redundancy helps.

e.g. volcanic ash is also an environmental trigger. But it is likely to certain to cause engine failure. No amount of ash is acceptable, but there is a density at which engine failure will happen quickly, and it's going to affect all engines at pretty much the same time. So in this extreme case, certain probability of engine failure in the triggering conditions means you have no redundancy with additional engines.

Whereas the problem sounds more variable and complex. Probably is low, therefore additional engines does provide redundancy just not as much redundancy as being in non-triggering conditions. Decent chance there's enough time to find another altitude to avoid additional failures.
You can also do that with sqlite: have workers query for data and lock records when they are working on it. (people have been implementing job queues in SQL based environments for decades). The point of using sqlite is that it's not something you need to install and manage separately, or something that acts as a broker. (sqlite would be very slow as the workers need to poll for jobs).

Culturally, this to me is a turning point of the political bloggers -- the knee in the curve of their credibility and a large drop in the trust of the news media, particularly among conservatives.

The blogs leading the document debunking were Powerline and Little Green Footballs.

This was also when the term Pajamas Media was coined (quote from wikipedia PJ_Media page):

> The network's original name was derived from a dismissive comment made by former CBS news executive Jonathan Klein during the 2004 Killian documents affair: "You couldn't have a starker contrast between the multiple layers of checks and balances at 60 Minutes and a guy sitting in his living room in his pajamas."

I followed the whole thing closely at the time -- it was a bit surreal.
The government needs money, its gonna get it from you one way or another.
They are military personnel, writing code for military applications. They are under the obligation to refuse to execute orders that go against international conventions and have an obligation to respond to Congress/Senate inquiries. Their superiors, who might want to pressure them into doing things that are illegal or don't align with the US stance can be court-marshaled.

Good luck getting anywhere near that level of responsibility from Google execs or managers.
Nice! If you analyze gaps, you could use it to identify companies experiencing consistent churn too, perpetually re-hiring their engineering org.
Oh now I get it, the people who are not disturbed by this contemplate that it'll only be used in innocuous contexts in which we already accept an unknown voice. That's not intended to sound sarcastic, I genuinely mean that now I understand the reasoning.

However, the reason these are not comparable is proof of work/investment. Presumably Duplex can or will soon be able to make millions of calls for any purpose whatsoever. Unlike a human being with a foreign accent perhaps or other alerting auditory factors Duplex massively reduces the cost of experimental manipulation.

Sure, you could in Soviet Union meet some nice guys under the bridge or in the park selling you a brick for 50 rubles when you salary was like 160 rubles a month. I heard of nobody refusing to buy it. Is it a crime? Drinking in a bar in foreign city with some stranger would end with clonidine poisoning. Stealing from workplace was that common, that it wasn’t defined as crime anymore. People were so poor in general, that there was nothing to steal from each other.
Legislation. Vote for politicians who care about these things (increasingly many do, especially the younger ones). Or stand up and run on a platform of providing a safer internet for all of us, free from the kind of tracking that we take for granted.

I agree it may not be easy. But we desperately need more tech-savvy politicians in these technological times.
It's a weak strategy. If you make an obvious error in many contexts you are very likely to (at best) invite a cascade of critique that otherwise would have been skipped.

It depends on who is on the other end. Against someone who isn't that intelligent, who prioritizes and really just wants to show their dominance, it can work great. Against a genuinely observant and intelligent perfectionist, it's the wrong move.

I've seen it done with alignment and spelling errors. The pointy haired boss feels superior and useful in their attention to detail, and everyone has their needs fulfilled.
Maybe GE has offered to pay them a huge amount if Boeing can avoid hitting GE with the SLA penalties. From Boeing's POV, the lost profit of not getting paid off by GE would be as bad as the loss from not having an SLA in place with GE.

I'm not firsthand familiar with property insurance, but there are restrictions on who can purchase insurance. You have to have fiduciary interest.

So, for example, you can't buy a life insurance policy on a random stranger. That can go bad places and be an incentive to commit murder.

So it is possible the landlord cannot buy this specific insurance themselves and the coverage they can legally purchase does not cover the instance in question.

>It’s as though Mark Zuckerberg woke up one morning and realized that the oily rags he’d been accumulating in his garage could be refined for an extremely low-grade, low-value crude oil. No one would pay very much for this oil, but there were a lot of oily rags, and provided no one asked him to pay for the inevitable horrific fires that would result from filling the world’s garages with oily rags, he could turn a tidy profit.

Given the number of trackers that my ad-blocker blocked while reading this, isn't this article, Locusmag.com, and Cory Doctorow himself sprinkling just a little more oil on the pile of rags?

That comment didn't convince me of anything. I didn't push back either.
More market would also work. The problem is lack of transparency and unequal negotiating power. The former can easily be fixed with laws; the latter is a bit harder to fix, but probably there are other solutions as well except for "universal healthcare" (i.e. an even more powerful negotiator).
I just was shocked to hear that anyone considered it was even possibly an evil thing and not just misguided.

So, I am actually happy to see another poster's short comment about civilian casualties, destruction, and other impacts of war.

That was kinda a perfect answer I think. You could see it as evil from a utilitarian standpoint because the suffering under Saddam was less than the suffering it took to displace him.

I have no idea how to weigh those two, but that's an area where I could see someone coming down on the side of letting the dictatorship continue is "less bad". Though I don't really agree with that position.

Think large pond - small pond. In the bay area you have the quintessential large pond. Thus lots of fish and lots of fishers - who have found that a bait of 140K attracts a steady stream of nibbles. These fishers assess the nibbles and make offers - back/forth. The big fishers, lets call them sharks, Google, FB also get nibbles and they assess them with a lot more experiential depth, as well as $$, and when they see a fit they make a crushing offer.
In Lincoln Nebraska, small pond, few fish, fewer offers - but a very nice place to work with lower cost of housing, less traffic, but remote enough to need extra offer $$ for the isolation (which I call a hidden bonus)

> 1. People perceive the past through rose tinted glasses, so they remember past releases as being better than they actually were.

So what's the explanation for why Snow Leopard specifically is being touted as being better than both previous and future versions? It's one thing if people said "it's gotten worse every release since Jaguar" (e.g. rose tinted glasses), but since people are referring to a specific release, I think this likely less the case.
I think you and the parent poster are both correct. Modern admissions came about from antisemitism, but jewish students are overrepresented today. I found two different numbers online for harvard undergards, one at 12% and one at 25%, which either way is an overrepresentation of the baseline ~2% of Americans.

> Yale University’s undergrad student body is 27 percent Jewish (1,500 Jewish undergrads out of 5,477 total). Percentage-wise, it narrowly beats out its Ivy League rival Harvard University, which is 25 percent Jewish (1,675 out of 6,694 undergrads). But Cornell University and Columbia University both have more Jews in total — 3,000 and 1,800, respectively.

The Chinese government has had a lot of success blocking Tor (and VPNs) most recently. You may know that all of the normal relays are publicly listed in the Tor directory, making them trivial to block by IP address. That will then require Tor users to do extra work to find bridges or configure pluggable transports for censorship circumvention, which most users may not be motivated enough to do. Censors can also try to fingerprint and block some of the circumvention methods.

In sum, Tor is not trivially or resoundingly winning the censorship arms race, even though it has some good work on censorship circumvention that's often effective in particular countries.

Some good background on this is in

Interesting. I've heard that the culture at Amazon is generally considered to be worse than at Apple, Netflix, or Google. Not sure about Facebook.
This is a very good answer.

It puts us in the situation of weighing the suffering and death of the war against the continued Saddam rule. That's an interesting debate where it is possible that the invasion was less good.
that doesnt explain anything though, it just kicks the can a bit further down. He's not clear whether the problem is facebook, the fact that majority of voters are gullible idiots, or democracy itself?

Yup, you don't need to change peoples' minds to affect election outcomes, you just need to encourage the right people to vote. Send messages about hot-button issues to people who are already likely to be enraged by them, and you'll get more of them turning out to the polls.

A friend of mine volunteered on the Clinton campaign in the months before the election. The strategy wasn't to knock on random doors and convince people to vote for Hillary, it was to find people who are already likely to lean left (but maybe aren't likely voters), and remind them of the upcoming election and where to vote, etc. Online ads take the same approach, just subconsciously.
One thing that stood out to me, I went from a private school with a class of 16 to a state (grammar) school with a class of 28. That does have an affect on teaching.

However also anecdotally a friend taught at a private school for a couple of years. Parents made it quite clear that it was his responsibility to ensure their angels passed the exams, no matter how thick they were. He didn't stay for long due to that attitude.
> People are more important than profits.

That's not absolutely true. People lives have a value, around $10M for US transport. It means that if the cost of potentially saving one human life is more than $10M, it isn't worth it, as in, there are more important things to do with that money, including improving safety in other areas.

Now profits are important too. Companies need money. That's how they pay their employees, do R&D, stuff like that. If they don't make money, employees will get fired, and they won't be able to develop new, better and potentially safer planes. For airlines, they may be forced to make tickets more expensive or lower their standards to compensate for the costs of planes that don't fly. Talking about shareholders, you may be a shareholder too if your savings include Boeing stocks. Less profits has an avalanche of undesirable effects. Some of them affect the 1% but the majority of it make things slightly worse for the 99%.
Sigh, you're probably right.

I was looking for an example of users being a fun bunch, but it could easily have been a marketing stunt with a little nudging. I've been mind controlled with the rest of the lemmings.
I'm not sure I agree with that. The media quote, I mean. There's plenty of media companies (on both sides of the political spectrum) that are definitely trying to tell you what to think. Maybe not all of them, but there are some.
>>"[..] it's kind of a half-truth, isn't it?"

Economic policies dismantle the welfare state in the U.K. but the people vote Brexit because some adds.

Part of the population in the USA is left economically behind but the reason Trump is elected is because some Facebook advertisements.

One thousand years of history but part of the Catalan people search independence from Spain because the 'Russian bots'.

The economy is not working but people is sceptic about the European Union 'because Internet'.

And you heard all that in mainstream media and in the mouths or politics.

It seems to me that happy people don't vote revolutions, never mind the advertisements. It's when people is angry or scared that they search for "strong leaders" and "guilty parties".
That's what I found on google [1].
