>And as bad as the Nazis were overall they still managed to have major successes in economy and science.

They weren't actually succeeding economically. They simply racked up internal debt, stopped paying their foreign debt, and invaded Europe in order to plunder it's riches and resources.

They had been plummetting toward economic collapse.

They knew they weren't ready to defeat the UK militarily, knew their technology wasn't properly built up yet, and actually didn't anticipate their own early military successes in mainland Europe.

But they had no choice. Fascism itself had backed Hitler into a corner. It was invasion or abdication (which was unimaginable).
What would be a case of actual knowledge that isn't scientific and not amenable to falsification though? Even humanities like history use evidence and make conclusions that can be falsified in the light of new information.
Re: stick vs automatic, is QWERTY more fun though?
I can honestly say as someone who can’t support a Republican President because he would give too much power to southern regressionist Republicans and while I might have disagreed with a lot of their policies, I never saw any of the Republican Presidents or nominees as people who I didn’t think did or would have represented the country well.

Until 2016...

But they all had to veer to the right a little more than I thought they were comfortable with to win the election. But McCain shut down anyone who tried to make the election about race.
Hero, Gentleman.
I don't think people pay for cable bundles in that price range because they chose those bundles, but because that is what was available. You want one specific thing yet you have to pay for all the nonsense as well.

There is no technical or customer-oriented reason why it was/is that way, and it was only kept in-place because of politics and lack of competition (before Netflix online came along).

And those people are the reason everyone else says not to do that, not to time the market, and to invest for the long term. If you stick to an established plan, adjust your allocation according to that plan, and don't panic sell, historically you will have always come out ahead.

> Have we become this partisan as a people?

Yes. Will Wheaton apologized for his privilege as an introduction to his public confession of his mental health issues. The post was on the front page here. I typically get disapproval unless I mention I did not vote for Trump when discussing anything political these days.

Given a lack of context, people jump to a lot of conclusions these days. So people feel required to volunteer context. It might stop if we learn to give each other the benefit of the doubt.

But that requires trust.
I feel it should include mortgage interest, excluding principal. The principal is going straight to the landlord's net assets, which should one day return a profit on it's own.
What does enterprise-grade support for a kernel look like?

RedHat and Canonical provide support for a distribution. As part of that support, they maintain a kernel.

If you are actually in a position where you need support for the kernel as a standalone component, you probably would be better off working with the upstream developers anyway (or hiring someone to work on the LTS release to address your specific needs).
I'm not really sure that's a weakness. Sure, you can point to the things that are used which are harmful or hateful, but this is how a party decides it's policy. The idea is that the platform you pick informs the government you create, yes? Sure, you can argue about whether it's "listening" or "pandering," but the whole foundation of representative government is that the officials elected represent the policies the population wants. Then when they're in office, they're forced to compromise with members of other parties representing other peoples. The fact that immutable obstructionism is the political tactic of the day doesn't mean that the core idea is bad.

"People are idiots" is a known fault with democracies, but it's a known fault with all governments or, indeed, all human endeavors.
McCain was treated terribly by his own party in the 2000 primary.

They run specials frequently and you can get flights to London, Bergen, Barcelona, etc. A friend and his wife were able to fly to London to see Hamilton last year for less than it would have taken to see it in NYC!
I'm afraid you are mistaken. Under discussion is whether there is a moral imperative for individuals to publicly disseminate their personal knowledge of locations of natural beauty. Again, rights are not at all relevant, unless you're talking about the right of someone else to my personal knowledge. Given your wild misreading of the topic I won't engage with you further.

This doesn't explain why the Obama administration did not bother persecuting bank executives.

And there was plenty to persecute then for (e.g. laundering money for drug cartels).
Honestly, I don't think she was a bad choice. I know this sounds ridiculous in hindsight.

At the time, she was one of the most popular governors in the US. She was young (44), female and in charge of the largest state in the country by landmass. She was a rising star in the Republican party and on the short list for the next opening for the US Senate.

She was also a Westerner like McCain, at a time where the Republican party wanted to make sure it didn't become the party of just the Southern US and voters were sick and tired of the Bush administration and the career Republicans running the place.

McCain was losing, and losing momentum. People were scared, companies were going bankrupt, and the stock market crash was imminent.

His top choice was Lieberman, but he couldn't choose him. Republicans would hate to see one of the Senate's most senior Democrats (who was pro-choice) as VP. Many Democrats really disliked him too for his support for the Iraq War and opposition to Obama. He lost his primary seat in 2006 and ran as an Independent against the Democrat, basically winning by consolidating the Connecticut Republican vote.

The others on the short list were Governor Pawlenty (MN), Governor Jindal (LA), Governor Romney (MA) and Former Governor Ridge (PA). All governors. Pawlenty and Romney were the safe choices, but I don't think they would've been able to turn the tide and shift attention away from the Obama campaign.

I was a strong supporter of Obama, and I remember getting worried when McCain chose her. I was really disappointed to hear her first speech - it was patronizing and vindictive, but red meat to the Republican base. I think she basically was told what she needed to do -- i.e. serve as the attack dog and rile up the Republican base and fuel get out the vote efforts in those last two months. And she did a pretty good job at it. She did fine in the VP debate, though Biden did as well, and she looked very comfortable on the national stage.

I think the Democrats ran a great campaign, and were able to define her as a political neophyte that was unqualified to serve as President. I also think that McCain personally wanted to run an ethical campaign focusing on the issues, and her full embrace of the red meat partisan issues undermined his campaign. But if he had chosen someone else I don't think there would've been a different outcome. Republican strategists would still have come up with 'death panels' and trying to tie Obama to Bill Ayers and all that other conspiratorial nonsense, it just would've been a different politician saying it.
Very good point, I am paying off debt as well. This will position me better for the following two things:

- Better debt to income ratio/monthly cash flow numbers as I diversify into real estate

- Provide more cash flow to purchase under valued assets should the market drop significantly (there's always an initial overreaction)
Political disputes these days are about identity, not ideas, values, or policy. They're not even about politics, really, since politics means compromise, changing minds, and growing support. Everything these days is about discouraging opposition, enraging base coalitions, and running off everyone in the middle. It's about forming tribes and battling.

That's no way to build a healthy society. It scares me more than any given issue of the day. I have kids growing up in this world.

Size wise I think even the commercial units they are planning have the core and associated support machinery at about that size, not including things like turbines etc that would be needed for a proper plant. It's been a while since I've seen any technical presentations about TerraPower though so maybe that's out of date.

The cost of retrofits is a good point, especially given that our nuclear fleet is getting pretty old. I am also worried about the glut of cheap natural gas and its tendency to stifle other technologies. It's almost unbeatable right now price wise, but I'm a bit concerned about what will happen when that changes. Renewables are great, but base-load power is still a problem.

That's not how prices work. The landlord is absorbing a huge liability by owning the home in the first place. You're a renter, your risk exposure is 0. That's why rent will almost always be higher than a mortgage.
Yes, by far! Everyone fixated on recycling because it was the only option that didn’t require people to make real changes in their lives (and it’s amazing how much resistance there is/was to simply putting things in a few different bins). Now that China has decided to no longer be the world’s garbage dump, those chickens are going to come home to roost real quick.
I respect where you’re coming from, but your position is sowing the seeds to destroy the rights that you care deeply about.

Eventually, some group of people will decide to take up armed insurrection, and that will be the (tragic) end to the issue. The urban population doesn’t get any of the culture around guns at all, and their vision of freedom and independence just doesn’t line up with yours.
You're missing the obvious.

Very few people would be capable of enduring torture across nearly six years, while letting numerous other prisoners go free in their stead.

McCain signed up to the military willingly. He comes from a family line of professional soldiers. Who knows how many of those others he put before himself were forcibly drafted into it, plausibly many of them (late 1967 was near peak US troop levels, a lot of soldiers taken POW at that time forward would have been drafted; in 1968 300k were drafted, 1.7m total across the war (38% of which served in Vietnam)).

Personally I'd never agree with the US involvement in the Vietnam civil war. McCain is a hero for his actions in captivity, not for his war fighting.

I did some calculating on a local market at various points. Basically, it seems to me the sweet spot is around 50k/rental for a building in the 100s of units. So your marginal, per unit mortgage should be around 50k or 500/mo (10 year mortgage) plus overhead. I know it’s possible to run such a complex with around 5-10 staff of various functions (possibly less). Those same units wind up being rented for over 1k/month - as that’s the trade off point for a similarly equipped condo. That’s a market operating inefficiently.
> Machine learning isn't about putting models into production. It's about machine learning models directly from data.

From a business perspective, the thing that's different about "machine learning" compared to other things you do with data is that it's possible to take the human out of the loop. That's a qualitative difference, as opposed to the quantitative difference of your business analysts giving better recommendations. We can quibble over terms, but as a broad stroke, things that are machine learning can do that and things that aren't machine learning cannot.

That qualitative difference is the main thrust of the quote you pulled, although it could be more explicit. Rather than the analyst building a model that tells him what shade of red is best for a button so that he can pass that information along to a design team, the button color is connected directly to the model.
There has been a rise in romantic thought pieces lately about how Data Scientists are wizards and can solve any problem with the real superpower of teamwork. (here's an older example from Instacart: https://tech.instacart.com/data-science-at-instacart-dabbd2d...)

In the real world, the state of affairs in Data Science is more practical and pragmatic. And there's nothing wrong with that.
Well, there was the Manhunt games, which always represented the worst side of Rockstar North to me.
Good ideas and rational discussion is the basis if a strong democracy. Opposition is a means to an end. Just like the Socratic method is a way to encourage understanding.

So I agree with you that people should be civil, but the premise of respecting the other still hinges on identifing others.
From the article:

"As a torture victim, Mr. McCain was sensitive to the detention and interrogation of detainees in the fight against terrorism. In 2005 the Senate passed his bill to bar inhumane treatment of prisoners, including those at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, by limiting military practices to those permitted by the United States Army Field Manual on Interrogation. His 2008 bill to ban waterboarding as torture was adopted, but vetoed by President Bush."

A McCain/Lieberman ticket would have been a dream.
One scary side of this is that it appears to have led ordinary people who see the system as rigged to elect an “anti establishment” president who is even more zealously rigging the system. American politics needs profound change and brave new leaders with a new vision.

Sure, the human population is no longer growing exponentially.

Which is to say it isn't "booming".

But mean resource use and pollution per capita is still growing.

Indeed total resource is huge and massively destructive but that use isn't even happening in any uniform per capita basis but rather some individuals, processes and organizations consume far more than others. Bitcoin for example, air conditioning Dubai for example, etc, etc.

>"In fact, if you had paid attention, you'd seen that Google already has not just plans, but it's own implementation, to replace TCP: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QUIC"

What you have just demonstrated is that you don't understand networking or networking terminology. "TCP/IP" is used to refer to the entire suite of protocols.[1] Part of that suite iS UDP. The U in QUIC is for UDP. QUIC uses UDP. And both UDP and QUIC are IETF standards.[1].

There is nothing proprietary about an an open standard is there? And what protocols use QUIC? HTTP and TLS also IETF standards. Oh and QUIC falls back to TCP too. And the decision to put QUIC on top of UDP rather than on top of IP was due to problems with middle boxes(see SCTP.) Is had nothing to do with trying to create a "proprietary pipe."

>"Carriers have had special deals with companies like Facebook, (and of course with their own owned content delivery subsidiaries), since forever.."

Yeah that special deal is called "zero rating" and it's where FB gives a ton of cash to the incumbent PTT in developing countries. Any carrier is happy to do this for you if you pay them enough cash. This has nothing to do with a carrier operating special networking gear for FB. FB builds and operates their own CDN and previously used Akami which is not owned by a carrier.

The answer according to James Comey was a "chickenshit" culture wherein people were afraid to take on cases that weren't a slam dunk. And it was difficult to make a case that bank executives were guilty thanks to the complex structure involved.
Another benefit to reading a weekly news source versus a daily is that the average quality is higher, since the most important N stories in a week are going to be a better overall sample than the most important N/7 stories each day integrated over the same week.

The Economist also has great round-the-world coverage, which is more than can be said for most news sources.

John McCain’s first wife was a model who had a car accident that left her crippled and eroded her good looks. John McCain then cheated on her and then left her, eventually remarrying a younger, very attractive, very heiress.

By most biographical accounts he was not a nice man in private, very egocentric, and had a very carefully constructed and well-maintained public image.

He also was a POW to a brutal, Communist regime, a real war hero.

It was sad to see him go to such a terrible disease.

A complicated man indeed.
Hey, I didn't want to respond to the real estate remark you made in the post where I responded, but now I kind of just had to.

With real estate, there are hidden costs. The furnace breaks, the AC breaks. The stairs need something. The roof needs patching. There is mold. There is property tax. There are bad tenants. There are other aspects also. It takes time.

IMO forget real estate and get in the market. But I mean, I am biased right? :)
Correct, but I think this is easier said than done sometimes - especially if you've only been investing during a huge bull market. As Mike Tyson once said, "Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the face."
The classic form is 1) summarize what you're going to say; 2) say it; and 3) summarize and discuss what you've said. But this piece repeats the same arguments, in different words, just a few paragraphs apart. And that annoys me. But maybe it's written for people who just skim.

Also, when reading nonfiction, I typically read the beginning and the end, and then skim the rest. If it seems worth the time, then I read the whole thing.

There’s a few stories out there. The common thread is that the vetting process wasn’t done and nobody realized what a shitshow Palin was.

Whomever made the decision, it was a rash move that proved that a low caliber, not so smart, but media savvy national candidate could win the support needed to be president. It led to 2016.

Isn't it very important for machine learning?
I just started reading Weapons of Math Destruction by mathematician Cathy O'Neil. She warns about big data systems that codify racism and classism from flawed data and self-fulfilling feedback loops. The systems' "unbiased" decisions are opaque, proprietary, and often unchallengeable.

Correct. But there's some fancy high-nickel and other stuff that can likely handle it if you control the chemistry carefully.
Prosecuting someone for a crime like that is tough you have to prove out of the whole company that the people you're prosecuting actually committed the crime. That's hard because the nature of corporations is to diffuse responsibility and decision making.

My dad died from the same cancer about a year before McCain was diagnosed. Terrible, terrible thing to go through.

I feel bad writing it out, but it gives me a bit of comfort to know it isn't something that could have been managed with the added resources of someone on the national stage like McCain.

The first surgery is pretty amazing because they can get almost all of the cancer out, and all the weird behavior just disappears and you have a normal person back. And then you have a year or so to swallow that fact that it's all going to come back and you've been handed a death sentence. Since the cancer is in your brain, they can't be as aggressive as they are in other parts of your body. Also, the cancer cells worm their way into all the cracks and crevices, so what started out as one tumor turns into a whole pile of tumors the second time around.

Probably the most painful memory I have is we were watching a movie and my dad didn't believe me that it wasn't a movie about my life and he thought I was lying to him when I said it was just a movie we were watching. Seeing someone you respect laid low like that is rough. Sort of like a very fast moving alzheimers.

Puts life in perspective though. Dad died at 58. I'll be 30 this year. Halfway to the grave. No time to waste putting things off till "later".
Although that's certainly better than nothing, it's really not the full deal at all. Even the squatty-potty which is way beyond just tip-toes is only about half-squatting. I've compared and the full squat is the real deal.

People who want to do it (even in prep for a China trip) better work on simply spending time squatting in general. Apparently, westerners with sit-toilets actually lose the flexibility to do a relaxed, flat-footed squat at all.
