After promoting a core tenet of fascism for 50 years, the academic left is now shocked and surprised to see a resurgence of fascism.

A core tenet of liberalism is that we are all human. We are what we have in common, not our differences, and we all have at least moral equality and equality before the law. The quest for material equality is a natural progression of this thinking, though there is much room for disagreement on the "how" and "why" questions there.

If we are instead those things that divide us -- race, religion, history -- then we are all balkanized into little groups with no common interest. Equality becomes impossible.

Why is this hard to understand?

I've noticed a pattern in history that seems to date back to the 70s. The left pioneers bad ideas, and then the right takes them to production at scale. I first noticed this with the Intelligent Design and other neo-Creationist movements in the 2000s and how they employed postmodernist attacks on objectivity and the validity of reason and induction. Now we see it with the alt-right taking identity politics to it's natural conclusion and mainstreaming it.
Until cities have a better alternative to driving than "use our terrible mass transit in our poorly-designed cities," this will remain a problem.

American cities are designed for cars, so that bicycles, scooters, or any other human-scale transportation is not just inconvenient, it's dangerous. Forcing skateboards, scooters, gyros, bicycles, etc., into the road with 4,000 pound cars is insanely dangerous. If you're riding something that can't be carried into a building with you, it's inconvenient at best to park it outside.

Just removing parking from new construction won't solve the problem, it will compound it. People still won't want to get on slow, crowded, uncomfortable buses or packed, unreliable, dirty trains. We'll just get more people driving endlessly around the block looking for parking and polluting the air, more accidents from drivers hitting people in the road, more sprawl as people shun the city so they can drive in the suburbs instead.

Roads have to be repurposed to make light personal transportation safe. Take every two-way two-lane and split it into a one-way, with a physical separation between a car side and a personal transport side. Remove parking from the curbs, and put it in the middle so one side can be for cars and the other for bikes, scooters, skaters, etc.

Public transit needs a major overhaul, major investment, and a new attitude. It has to be about riders' comfort, convenience, and happiness, not just jamming people into routes as if they were statistics in a planning meeting.

New development should be aimed at walkable, human-scale neighborhoods, planned for people first, not cars.

All these things have to happen to solve the problem. It won't be easy, but unless we do something like that, we'll be living with the car problem for a very long time to come.
Once automated vehicles take over (eventually), most people will switch to taxis. Taking taxis everywhere will be cheaper than owning your own vehicle. So the need to park will be greatly reduced.

Eventually, mass transit will fail and underground subways will be repurposed for AVs. Parking will be built underground for off peak storage of vehicles, allowing the repurposing of surface parking spots. Maybe agricultural robots will make use of them.

Cities will get quieter.
I bought a refurbished one of these in January of this year -- though I see that there are none of them available in the refurb store as of right now. The refurb inventory changes pretty rapidly though, so it might be worth watching in case one does pop up -- I suspect that they'll go quickly, and I almost wish I had purchased a backup.

Oh well, hopefully my current one lasts another few years, otherwise I'll probably have to give Windows a try as my main machine again, for the first time in ~10 years.
Equifax (and Facebook) actually had an exfiltrated event. And they didn't get punished.

Don't lump Google in there.
Likely or likely not? More recent evidence points to high carb - not high fat - as the real cause. Mcmuffins are higher in carbs than fats, by the way.

Also, infant/child mortality was much higher at that time - if you count people that lived past the 30s life expectancy was likely not that different from nowadays.
>> Parking spaces are everywhere, but for some reason the perception persists that there’s “not enough parking.”

I imagine most people will perceive that there's not enough parking unless there's an open spot right out front of where they're going when they get there.

Services that facilitate parking further away from your destination might help.
You have made a good point and it is telling that it has been downvoted already.
How dare you?
Kind of a weird argument that nobody wants to take the bus or the train because it's too crowded. Very Berra.
Wow that’s incredibly cheap.
This is just an example of 'path dependency', i.e. 'history matters'. It's not baffling if you consider that sparse, car-driven infrastructure makes a lot of sense in a country with low population density, and population density has tripled in the US since 1930 [1]. At that time, Germany's population density was about 6x the US's.

However, changing transportation infrastructure is a chicken and egg problem.

People get upset if you take away their parking spaces and build densely when efficient public transport doesn't exist yet and they still need to own a car.

Yet building efficient public transport is at least a decade-long endeavor and requires either buying out or leveraging eminent domain to carve out space for the necessary infrastructure.

Local and state officials aren't going to stick their heads out to support this unless voters will politically reward them for starting a project, but probably not being around to see it finished.

If you want a regime that can efficiently bulldoze its way to the public transit and cheaply, then one way is to copy China, give power to governments to 'strongly encourage' the sale of any rights of way needed, don't open it up to public review and leave it completely in the hands of more-or-less capable technocrats. Is that a price you're willing to pay?

When I started in my current job, I was effectively the single administrator (servers, network(s), clients) at a small-ish company (~70 employees using PCs), and there was a landscape that already was the result of 10+ years of growth without any central planning.

TL;DR - I was thrown into a relatively complex environment with little help other than asking the two guys who had done this before me, both of which were rather busy (they had done the administration a side-business of sorts). (I still wonder how they managed to keep the IT infrastructure running, but in my first few months, many of our users told me how happy they were that I responded to their calls for help right away rather than "sometime next week".)

I used emacs' org-mode. I kept a file where I wrote down every little bit of information I could gather. After 12, maybe 15, months, I had memorized everything I needed to know and stopped taking notes. So my example might not fit your question all that well. But for the time I was getting to know this company's infrastructure, its servers, networks, and people, that .org file was a lifesaver.
I will drone strike any autonomous vehicle I find on a human road given the resources and time. Boring company is, therefore, a strong buy.
but it's likely because they just completely destroy any kind of out of order execution.

The same goes for the longer sequence of individual pushes or pops --- they all depend on the stack pointer. In fact, the single instruction needs to only adjust it once by the total number of registers pushed/popped (since it is a constant).

In other words, PUSHA/POPA already decode internally to a bunch of moves and one ALU op for the stack pointer which can be scheduled OoO. All they needed to do for 64-bit mode was adjust the constant (by multiplying it by two) and emit more uops for the additional registers, but they didn't for some otherwise inexplicable reason. All the machinery to do it was existing.

And then there's the fact that modern compilers are likely already avoiding those instructions because of the timing of saving extra registers that you aren't using in a given function, it probably just doesn't make much sense to keep them anymore.

Compilers won't ever use PUSHA/POPA but lots of other code will --- BIOS, executable packers, OS state-saving code (the perfect example of what these instructions were for?), etc.

See the story of SAHF/LAHF for a similar and even more astoundingly bad decision.
I'd like to see the compounds used, dosages used, and the actual affects on biochemistry afterwards. I'd also like to know if the long term damage is mostly age related since they did not have developed endocrine systems yet. This article isn't particularly scientific.

I don't know a ton about most anabolic steroids (typically derivatives of testosterone) - but testosterone is known to be highly beneficial in dosages that bring a man up to around 700-900ng/dl. Aka, around the levels of a very healthy 20-something-year-old. This is well studied.

There is a really well done study where they gave a large number of healthy men 500mg testosterone per week for I believe 12 weeks. That put them at about 2000-3000ng/dl, or three times a normal males levels. The results showed only one or two participants had a significant side affect and all participants recovered fine.

Remember, anabolic androgenic steroid (AAS) just means a growth promoting "anabolic" male sex characteristic related "androgenic" molecule with 17 carbon atoms "steroid".

Most people don't realize this, but testosterone IS an AAS. It's a bioidentical hormone.

You probably think it's bad to take, because of bad media. But what do you think is in birth control? Most birth control is a pill full of estrogen and progesterone, two other bio-identical sex hormones. A large percentage of the female population in the USA is on birth control, and they don't seem to be dying any quicker from what a quick search shows.
It's infuriating to me living in North America (I'm in Canada but it's as bad or worse in the US) watching cities develop this way. Mention this to almost anyone here and you will be met with blank stares. There are countless places that contain many stores that share parking lots that we so huge you still have to drive between them.
what's democratic about states being guaranteed representation? democracy is about people having a say, not abstract entities

Design 101: How to Make Great Ethereum DApps
This is how we have had such economic growth. We use our own population as a testbed where we disintermediate all of our own cultural support systems so that everything must be hired out. Food, transport, entertainment, self concept, family, all of it has been reformed in the U.S. over the last 100 years to replace community labor with commercial relations.

This means we get first dibs on these new industries (Software As A Service, Family Mental Health As A Service, Guiltlessness As A Service, etc) as they catch on globally. Sometimes naturally because we discover some actual value. More often just by finding a practice which is addicting and then just dumping product until a population is addicted.

Great recipe for success, much wealth has been stockpiled.

It’s possible we sold out some cultural knowledge in the process, but the U.S. is a young country so most of our culture was pretty raw in the 19th century.

The bulk of our old growth culture we just slaughtered on arrival.
Yeah, that's what it refers to. I agree that the lack of contemporary documentation might be a major factor.
Refreshing the context when I resume some project.

I get my mind back in the groove from sometimes years ago by just opening my orgmode section or file.

The brain finds the connections again and the thought train picks up and off I go.

As a side note, I use orgmode and I wouldn't consider any other program (that I know of) for a specific reason -

What other setup could I be GUARANTEED of being able to pickup in 5, 10 ,30 years and have it work just as it did?

A paper notebook for sure but orgmode gives me much more (and less in some areas).

orgmode and emacs lets me INVEST my time and effort and know I won't lose the data and time because some webservice thing went down/changed business models/lost interest.
It just means there aren't enough bus routes or busses on the route.
> I think that the security of recursively computed snarks decreases as the recursion depth increases

These proof systems are parameterized to ensure a certain soundness error, like 2^-128. So as long as certain cryptographic assumptions hold (in the case of SNARKs, the hardness of knowledge-of-exponent and commitments), it would take an attacker an expected 2^128 brute force attempts to generate an invalid proof. That should remain the same no matter how deep the recursion goes.
Reno is an awesome example of this, and this is true even of the latest developments. It's like developers in Reno have never seen pictures of other cities, even here in America. This problem has been solved time and again... and Reno builds large and small shopping malls and then they're empty and under-utilized, so they build another new one and the results are the same.

Having lived overseas a few times in my life, I really am looking forward to leaving NorCal/NV and heading somewhere more sanely organized.
So basically they used an open version of Musk's submarine.

My guesses offhand would be marriage licenses, birth and death certificates. States register real estate and collect property taxes, and you need a state to allow you to incorporate a business.

Say what? It's a fucking concrete slab.

Maybe they mean expensive in land cost.
Thank you! This is interesting to know, and I'm sure the people there are really bright, capable and motivated to bring us the best solution possible. However this is not what concerns me. Willingly or not, they are part of a bigger ecosystem named Google, and the decisions from higher-ups inevitably influence the platform. The culture itself is probably engineer-centric and not customer-centric, which can be seen in differences in support responses.

I must stress out however that these are just my thoughts based on information from Internet, because I don't have extensive experience with either, so I might be wrong.
And yet they actually used what could be seen as an open version of Musk's submarine.
It's pretty formal.
As a European this astounded me. The idea of combining the brake and turn signals is something I've never come across before.

Yeah taxis don't have sufficient capacity. You'd just double the cars on the roads. Autonomous buses on the other hand could make a dent (since the primary cost of buses in rich countries is labor).
Talk about gridlock! Literally and figuratively...

I don’t think anyone is missing your point, but it sounds terribly short-sighted.

For one, what’s good for business is commonly catastrophic to other systems. An effort to prioritize here is critical.

For some reason, baby-boomers have an odd propensity for ignoring more systematic, hollistic concerns brought by the shift to dependency on automobiles. I think I can speak for most of my millenial peers when I say it seems maniacal.

And I am getting sick of feeling guilty for blaming “baby-boomers”. You people just don’t know when enough is enough.

Of course, you’re also responsible for gutting the safety nets and other civil structures that the victims of failed businesses rely on. Again, gridlock. Drop it already. At least you ahve a business.
I started playing first person shooters again last year. Player Unknown's Battleground. It takes a beast of a PC to play.

Other players I play with online are always talking about upgrades and saving up for a complete new system with all the latest hardware.

So I think fortnite and PUBG have definitely driven some growth in Gaming PC sales/hardware sales. Also the popularity of youtubers and streamers are driving kids and teens to ask for gaming PCs too.

Now that PUBG is on Xbox there is a new influx of players who started playing it on console but wanted to move over to the PC version.

Shooters on PC are much better than playing on a console, plus you usually get the features, updates and new maps first. But the feel of playing with a mouse and keyboard is way better on PC. Console ones are fun but I much prefer playing on a PC.
The HAL is Linux in this case, but you might need to send pull requests to enable additional drivers, depending on the hardware.

The currently supported platforms are the Raspberry Pi 3 B, Raspberry Pi 3 B+, the PC Engines apu2c4, and qemu x86-64 (I’ll update gokrazy.org with an overview about this in a minute). As long as your hardware is similar enough to one of these, chances are things just work.

Edit: https://gokrazy.org/platforms.html now describes the support level of the various targets.
My own experiences with depression have made me think you’re both partially correct.

I feel like happiness is about learning how to deceive yourself. It’s about learning how to put a positive spin on everything, and internalise it.

I struggle with this because I don’t want to deceive myself. But then I’m probably deceiving myself in the opposite direction with all sorts of negative thoughts.

It makes no sense to remap a home row key to such an infrequently used key. It's much better to remap Caps Lock to Control (by the way, how do you press Control A and Control E and Control L and Control R hundreds of times a day in bash? By reaching to the far away corner located Control? That's absolute madness).

Traditional UNIX keyboards had the control key in the position of where the caps lock key is now. If you remap your keyboard like that, bash and the Emacs shortcuts enabled throughout macOS will suddenly make A LOT of sense. After a few days it will seem be impossible to work in any other keyboard, which is further proof that the remapping is essential for working efficiently in a Unix environment.

I would personally remap the far away control key to act like an Escape key instead.

Sure, if you're a vi user, the caps lock as ESC will seem rational at first, but outside of vi, all other Unix tools work with control key combinations.
Who Me stench weapon
this proof is sound (for this simple structure) but does it imply you can never have all three (CAP) in some scheme where you can draw from many nodes and edges (not infinite) to handle partition failure while always being available and consistent? Perhaps a proof that you need to draw from infinite nodes and edges to achieve CAP would be interesting.

I don't see why they're weird examples. Every innovation may or may not cause health problems. Clearly cars do cause health problems, transistors largely do not unless you take a whole carbon footprint into account as well. How could you possibly know either outcome ahead of time?

The point is that we don't know the health consequences beforehand, and anticipating them is not easy. You say you want more of an effort made in this regard, but do you actually know how much effort is currently made towards this end?
Or the buses are too slow because there's too many cars in the way.

Funny, the comment I was replying to asserts that only states get representation in the US, not people.

Technically, the US is not a true democracy. Our state's speak for us and our state's represent us. This is how a presidential candidate can get less than a majority vote and still be president.

There is a term for it -- maybe republic -- but I'm not that awake and can't quite put my finger on it.
That doesn't even really tell us much.

We need more information. For instance, it would be enlightening to have an understanding of how, exactly, a "real workload" is defined? How many tabs? What's going on in the tabs? Etc. A definition of "real workload" would at least allow us to compare that workload to our own typical workloads. (Which I assume would likely be different for an administrative assistant vs an executive vs a developer vs a researcher vs etc etc etc.)
For ergodic theory, there were a few really good lectures, and I have good notes, in a course I took from a star student of E. Cinlar.

For Breiman Probability:

(1) I liked his start, nice, simple, intuitive, on how the law of large numbers works. Of course the super nice proof is from the martingale convergence theorem, but Breiman's start is nice.

(2) His book has the nicest start on diffusions I have seen.

(3) Once in some of my work I ran into a martingale. So, then, when I wanted to review martingale theory, I went to Breiman. Nice.

(4) Since I was interested in stochastic optimal control, I was interested in measurable selection and regular conditional distributions, and I got those from Breiman -- thanks Leo!!!! Yes, IIRC, there is the relevant Sierpinski exercise in Halmos, Measure Theory and also in Loeve, Probability, but it was Breiman who gave me what I really needed.

(5) Generally Breiman is easy to read. He writes like he is trying to help the reader learn.
