> I think the Republican Party is really more like 3 disparate parties under one banner.

Or more. Same with the Democrats. There's a solid reason this will always be true of whatever the two major US parties are (and it's the same reason there will be exactly two major US parties, though which two may change) barring major reforms to the basic structure of elections.

> The country would be a lot better off if they formally split.

Well, it might be better if the US had an electoral system that supported stable multiparty democracy, but it doesn't.

If the Republican Party fragmented into three separate parties, then some existing minor parties and non-party factions (possibly including one or more of the ex-Republican party, and possibly including one or more breakaway parts of the Democratic Party which is a similar coalition) would form a new major coalition party in its place.

Pure parties are minor parties while major parties are coalitions of disparate factions in the US for structural reasons, not as some kind of odd statistical fluke.
Oh, you're totally right.

Yeah, but that's the problem of the next CEO and not this one, and all the smart investors want to take anything they can get now and simply jump ship when they see something dark on the horizon. The only ones screwed are those with not much of a voice in leading the company, and/or lack of ability to move themselves elsewhere as easily as big capital can. I think they have all been acting perfectly rationally. After all, working "for the common good" is not anyone's goal, and according to the leading religion - or economic theory - that is perfectly alright and desirable, because invisible hand... I don't think keeping companies around for very long still is a goal of investors other than family businesses.

You can still reach all those functions with a modifier key [1]. I find this actually quite appealing, lifting your hand to search the arrow keys while touch typing has always been a nuisance to me and this seems much better.

Every film director in the world groaned in unison when they heard the 17" was discontinued. I wish the newest version didn't have such awfully outdated specs, I'd love a 17" MacBook Pro again.
It's very traditional. The second you show that you're significantly scaling back you raise questions about whether you're a going concern. They could have canned the japanese office much earlier but then it's possible investors would say 'Hey, we thought the plan was to build strong links with Mitsubishi to prime for an acquisition for an exit, what's the plan now'. So the only real option is to push aggressively and hope it works out.
Only if you're coming from a different shell.

For me, it's easier to remember that aliases acts like a dictionary, so I can treat it like any other dictionary. With "unalias" I have to remember the command. As I rarely use unalias (a few times over a period of years), I typically have to search the web on how to remove an alias.

And if it really bothers you, I'm pretty sure it's trivial to define an unalias function in Xonsh that will act as you expect (without needing parentheses).

It's part of the beauty of Xonsh - many such commands you're used to can be brought into it by writing fairly simple Python code.
This looks very interesting. I'm not sure I understanding all of the forking though - why not just leverage LineageOS, K9 etc. as is just as to leave more time/energy for the other bits rather than having to separate maintain (security patches etc.) the forked bits?
I bet this audience would get a lot out of a teleological exposition of sabbath observance. The article doesn't touch on this. . . . Shabbat as a technology for transforming the world over time and the origins of the laws of shabbat as a program running (executed by people) to build the microcosmos into the macrocosmos, culminating in a world where we don't have to work anymore. But that might be too emic.
Looks super-cool - nice vid demo. My only suggestion would be to prioritize the screening over certainly the mobile an probably the API.

My reasoning is that I do almost all real searching and analysis on the desktop, whereas mobile is just nice and handy for tracking an updates on the go. Also, screening is more immediately usable by a broader user set than the API functions (tho your spreadsheet integration is way cool!).

Just one small vote while cheering you on!
Oh wow, that's beautiful. Love it. How'd you get it so small while having sound? That's awesome.

There is a small difference. The US was retreating to a hostile enemy in Vietnam. Iraq is left in the hands of a US backed regime. When the talibans take over Afghanistan, that will be a better analogy.
Interesting, I like the simplicity of that. Do you have any info how to determine good initial values for the prior? In this example good values for pretend_up and pretend_down? Would it make sense to use average_upvotes and average_downvotes or values that have that ratio?
Funny that you mention empathy. I have a conservative friend who's been trying to convince me to read Paul Bloom's book about why empathy is bad.
Damn. You scared me with that title.

You're wrong that it's not used by anything important. It's integrated at Major Investment Bank and developers are shipping hjson files every day. They don't actually have a choice to configure and ship their services.

It's spreading slowly to more internal stuff as people realize they are better off with HJSON, rather than anything else. It will eventually reach the rest of the bulge bracket within a decade as people move around and pollinate the best stuff. HJSON could be running the global financial market by 2028 or 2038.

The problem with Apple is that their iOS products older than 2-3 years are becoming quickly unusable.

I have some old iPads and I cannot install anything necessary like Firefox because their iOS is too old and there is no update available (happens with iPad mini).

Or battery life deteriorates much quicker than in a typical Android phone (happens with iPhone 6).

Or because next software update had made device totally unusable (that happened to iPad 1 which become literally unusable due to apps/browser crashes).

Yeah in the books the universe life is kinda shitty for tens of thounsands of years because of the restrictions on "thinking machines". It is pretty much a blanket ban on much above a 80s level non networked pc. Anything that breaks it is pretty much black market good or used an excuse for military take over by a stronger feudal house. All automation pretty much requires a human in the loop. Also any machine a "in a image of a man is banned" also pretty much a prosthetics will get the owner killed.

Your examples make no sense. Arduino and Raspberry Pi are toys for hobbyists. Samsung is a colossal conglomerate that makes thousands of different consumer products. TSMC is a semiconductor fab, and ARM makes... specifications?
You don't need to. Unlike early versions of Android and apps that still link to older versions, with iOS, you have never had a list of permissions you had to accept before launching the app. The app ask permission when you need a feature and you can deny it the permission. After it asks once (three times?), it will never ask for the permission again and you have to go to settings to enable the permission.
Looks very nice, a big bonus that it is available as an ISO layout. The difficulty with finding a decent keyboard is, that as a German, I need an ISO layout, which rules out a lot of potentially great keyboards.
But unfortunately it is missing the row with the escape and function keys and the cursor keys.

Currently I am using the Microsoft Sculpt keyboard, and I am mostly happy with it, except that the escape/function key row is only half sizes. If it were full sized, I probably would be compeltely happy with it.

I would be willing to shell out serious money for my dream keyboard, but so far the offerings are few and scarce.

Because usually when you're proposing something new, it's good to ask yourself why it hasn't been done before, or why it's not currently being done, if it has been tried. Oftentimes, there are very good reasons. Very occasionally, there's not.

My neighbor and I felled two large pine be trees last year. We chopped it up and have been selling it by the cord. A co-worker of his heats his home by wood stove and cannot afford to buy wood. He comes over and the three of us load up 2 cords at a time into my trailer and help him unload it in his garage. We did this twice last year and once so far this year.

What did that prove? That people have empathy? Or were you exaggerating for effect?

The problem is I don't think that possibility can be evoked for situations where one discovers more and more things are part of a single, vast, interrelated system.

At least until we get "AI Complete" approach, we can't expect to suddenly a means to "debug" a system crudely analogous to a "million lines of spaghetti code" (and yes, only crudely analogous but the ways that analogy break down only makes the whole thing harder to understand).

I notice the same dynamics are playing out on social media that played out in traditional media years ago. Conservatives cry bias, without evidence that any bias is appearing in the actual product.

As Rich Bond said over 25 years ago[0]:

“There is some strategy to it [bashing the 'liberal' media] ... If you watch any great coach, what they try to do is 'work the refs.' Maybe the ref will cut you a little slack on the next one.”

It’s a useful myth, where blatantly partisan Fox News bills itself as “fair and balanced”.

I’ve seen this play out in my own career where, claims of political bias was cast against algorithms I developed because random extreme partisan website wasn’t being put in the top slot for a trending topic. It was disingenuous criticism.

We’re seeing the same thing again because foreign troll farms are being shutdown, you find yourself in a minority, the. You have to look to some grand conspiracy because your filter bubble was popped.

There’s nothing here but the old tired tactic of promoting a false equivalence, which is paying political dividends. See Facebook’s fact checking partners, 4 respected non partisan orgs, and the explicitly conservativly partisan Weekly Standard, which used its veto against an explicitly liberally partisan organization.[1]

It’s really weird to have a partisan org on your ostensibly nonpartisan editorial board. It does make sense if you’re throwing conservatives a bone by giving them a vote and not a liberal org. So the refs are successfully worked.

When it comes to Twitter itself, Jack has shown through his actions that he either fundamentally misunderstand what is going on, or he actually supports the extreme views on his site.

Here is the same story from The Intercept yesterday: https://theintercept.com/2018/09/13/google-china-search-engi... .

I found this article from a link inside the `IBM's post here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17991450 (thanks `IBM).
There's a lot of hate in this thread for some of Apple's design choices. I do understand it. I just want to share my counter-viewpoints - these are my personal preferences obviously.

1) I moved to all bluetooth back in 2012. Headphones and wires have always been a nuisance for me. I'm not sure why Apple removed the headphone jack - but I never felt the need for it. I don't even carry the dongle anymore.

2) I loved the HTC One's display. I don't like screens that are too big and hard to handle but the iPhones were always too small for me - too hard to read anything. I switched to iPhones only after the 6 - and yes, that's because finally it had a screen size that I liked.

3) I did love Magsafe - no doubt about it. But I'm ready to let it go as well. I can now go to pretty much any desk at my office and plugin a Dell usb-c dock - that's shared with PCs and start working. At my permanent desk, I have just one dongle/adapter to which everything is hooked into - it's actually simpler than my previous setup where I had a 4-port USB Dongle + Display port Cable + Power adapter to plugin/disconnect. Now it's just one cable to plugin to my computer. And yes I have tried some docks as well - it was still at least two.
> So tell me, why is it that whenever someone attempts to institute a Marxist government, the invariable outcome is slavery, starvation, and mass murder?

No one has ever instituted a government intended to be Marxist, with or without those ends.

I'm not even sure there's been a major effort to institute Marxist government, even if it failed to institute a government, since the time of Marx and Engels.

Leninism, which rejects key aspects of Marxism (particularly, it's essential prerequisite conditions and it's basic methods) but sells itself as Marxism (hence my line about people believing Marxist governments have exist being dupes of Leninism) has been attempted with the results you describe.

The closest thing that has actually been put into practice to Marxism (which still isn't Marxism, differing in roughly the opposite direction but lesser degree than does Leninism) is the modern mixed economy that has displaced the 19th century system Marx named “capitalism” throughout the developed world, which was both shaped by (largely through Marxist influence on Western labor movements) and which incorporates several elements of Marx’s platform and compromises versions of some others elements of that platform, when compared to the 19th Century capitalism it displaced.

> After so many attempts, one can only conclude that either, yes, it is "real Marxism" or that "real Marxism" is impossible to implement.

The latter is closer to the truth; at least, it seems politically impossible to achieve support for a radical transition to Marxism in a state which had acheived the prerequisite state Marx identifies as essential. While both building class consciousness on some level in the working class and using it as a lever to move the State in a direction closer Marxism is possible (and, indeed, seems to have near-universally occurred in states meeting Marx’s criteria), and Marx seems also to have been accurate in both suggesting that such incremental change would be leveraged by capitalists to forestall revolution and would be precarious and eternally at risk of backsliding spurred by the capitalist class, the revolutionary alternative Marx proposed seems impractical in practice.

I'm not sure "safe space" is the right word. People lose jobs, housing opportunities, and professional connections for being conservative in the Bay Area. There's a damn good reason to be afraid and it isn't about our "feelings". There are professional repercussions.

You may want to check out SpaceVim. I've been developing on a remote machine lately; before I was using ST2/3. I could have continued to do so using (e.g.) sshfs, but I think that I'm probably more productive this way. One of my favorite features so far is that the terminal is bound to SPC+', and that lets you easily yank and paste and navigate using the vim tools. It's not quite as pretty as ST or Atom. Powerline fonts and a 24-bit color terminal emulator are recommended.

> What OP's "hypothetical portfolio" means is basically the tracking of a whole set of selected equities (so in your site's case: the performance of everything within a watchlist, including a graph visualizing it plus all the common features like comparing that portfolio-graph to that of the Nasdaq, Dollar Index, BTC ...). [2]

> GF's UI was horrible, but they allowed to create endless amounts of those portfolios, which was really helpful for finding one's investment strategy because you could compare "ideas". Or you could gather groups of similar equities to track their performance and decide whether they are ripe for becoming "a new idea" (like "I believe that downturn of x is at some point going to halt, maybe then it's worth investing")

I just want to second this point made in the parent comment. What I've always wanted to do that I can't really do in an app out there, is compare my "what-if" scenarios (e.g. what if I had held onto 20% of my AAPL in 2015, instead of selling and buying NFLX and UA/UAA?). I always imagined that there'd be an easy visualization comparison between two scenarios, to allow me to "evaluate" certain buy/sell decisions I've made, retrospectively.

No. Teardowns have shown nothing of that sort. It's a marketing decision to push people to buy $170 airpods. In fact, there's a very popular tech blogger's video where he successfully adds in a headphone jack[1] to his iPhone 8.

How are people being "pushed" to buy Airpods when they can use any Bluetooth headphone, the headphones that come bundled with the phone, or use their own headphones with a $9.99 adapter that they have included up until yesterday?
Is it? It's 3 pages of overly emphatic text revealing that an Intel chip is based around an x86 CPU. By the author's own admission is their conclusion: "Nothing really, I just found this funny and wanted to share".

Also I'm a bit baffled that they wrote a tool to measure the entropy of the machine code, tried hand-disassembling and considered that it might have been an encrypted binary format before guessing that an Intel chip could be running an Intel CPU. But they did try "EVERY POSSIBLE RISC ARCHITECTURE [they] KNOW" because apparently nobody ever used CISC on embedded devices. Nobody tell him about the GameBoy.

Of course I'm a bit harsh, it's easy to mock in hindsight but it's still not very interesting technically.
This is the crux of the issue. Your presumption, based on political ideology, that they lack empathy is immediately dehumanizing them. You are giving yourself permission to not have empathy towards them.
Nope, never did. We build 2 OS(s): the first was based on linux with a rtos package (2013-14?). That was scrapped and a new fully custom hardware package was built with a fully custom OS (built by a team that never had done this) and was built for a low power arm processor. We were plagued by huge issues most of the time due to that OS being nearly impossible to debug or work with. Also doing that prevented any third-party from building anything because there wasn't a SDK or even a platform to build on.
