The phrase is "mobilize your base".

Both Republicans and Democrats have GOTV strategies. Republican efforts have faltered of late, because they have trouble recruiting / enlisting volunteers, comparatively. You can see this in how campaign spend their money. Advertising vs doorbelling.

It now occurs to me that age may be a factor in campaign staffing. Whereas 10 years ago, Democrat rank & file were blue hairs. Think Vietnam war protestors, old school labor, academics. Now the party is much younger.

It's been a long time since I've been to Republican party events, so just from what I've read, their party rank & file hasn't seen that kind of turnover.
I think my history went something like this:

RCS -> CVS, CVS -> SVN, SVN -> Darcs, Darcs -> Mercurial, then Mercurial -> Git.

Bazaar I had to use for interactions with Ubuntu, but never in a serious way. Similarly I used a few other things such as Visual Source Safe (shudder), SCCS, and even BitKeeper, but I think they were used quite shallowly.
The AI would still have to make use of the data that is given to it. The prosecutors hid that data. Are you saying the AI should spy on prosecutors, too?
Ah, but you omitted the full context:

"You know, to just be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump's supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables. (Laughter/applause) Right? (Laughter/applause) They're racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic – Islamophobic – you name it. And unfortunately, there are people like that. And he has lifted them up. He has given voice to their websites that used to only have 11,000 people – now have 11 million. He tweets and retweets their offensive hateful mean-spirited rhetoric. Now, some of those folks – they are irredeemable, but thankfully, they are not America."

The key word that you omitted is "irredeemable"- basically she is saying that there is no hope for redemption for people have certain beliefs. What does that imply about how she would have governed people who are, in her words, irredeemable?
FISA court is still about national security and espionage cases. The reason they may want a FISA warrant on a journalist is because we know that there are foreign intelligence services that use journalists to spread disinformation, propaganda, and stolen classified materials.

So for example, RT America was recently forced to get FARA registration, as was some Chinese media outlets.

One development in the Paul Manafort case is that he admitted to pushing disinformation to American media to support his Ukrainian clients. If there were other avenues of hostile foreign influence operations attempting to subvert US media, a FISA warrant would be one way it might be done.

One thing to remember about the FISA court is that it's not about surveillance for the purpose of normal criminal prosecutions, it's about supporting national security, which often doesn't necessarily lead to criminal charges. It may mean just monitoring what adversaries are up to. This is also why the bar for FISA warrants is different than it is for normal criminal investigations.

At any rate, the FISA court's powers can certainly be abused and meaningful oversight is needed. Especially in this time with increasing politicization of federal law enforcement. Spying on journalists gets into dangerous territory, so yes, people should pay close attention here.

In my experience, every time I've encountered someone who has this point of view, what they really mean is "Yes, we should have one way to do it, and it should be the way I like".

The obvious counterpoint to your statement is that if your mentality held sway, we would never have had Git and would still be on SVN.
Knowing something of some of these cases and things like the Innocence Project, it is actually much more frightening that you don't hear these stories coming out of other countries. Wikipedia has a page on this [1], and picking France, there are six examples listed, including Joan of Arc and the Dreyfus affair. I find it almost inconceivable that outside of those six cases there have not been any other wrongful convictions.

The most generous interpretation is that the French penal system is more humane than the US, and sentences shorter, so that wrongful convictions don't necessarily destroy lives, and thus overturning convictions is not a priority either for activist groups, politicians, or law enforcement.

On the other extreme is the idea that challenging verdicts and the appeals process for introducing new exculpatory evidence after convictions is either too difficult or inaccessible.

> is it enough an improvement to justify the cost of switching?

This is the main question everybody should be asking about potential contenders [0].

For most places, switching would be a huge undertaking. Even if there's an import tool that works flawlessly (big assumption), you now have to potentially re-think all of your secondary tooling [1]. Not just 3rd party tools, either. You have to think about potentially tweaking build pipelines, etc.

Not to mention (re)training people which is very likely orders of magnitude more costly [2].

For any potential tool to overtake git, it will have to provide some pretty extreme benefits. Git originally provided some pretty extreme benefits over SVN and yet there are plenty of places that still can't justify the cost of even making that switch.

[0]: I'm only talking about contenders for large projects and/or business' ecosystems. Use whatever you want on your side projects.

[1]: GitLab adding support for alternatives is a good way to start mitigating this.

[2]: In more ways than just purely financial.
It's hard to tell from the initial docs, but I think this generates pages statically, so unlike Wordpress, you're not relying on a DB to serve content.

> Anyway, I think you’re projecting a lot of rationality where there’s just apathy.

Calling it "just apathy" is unjustifiable maligning. How is it not completely rational to be apathetic to whether business interests A or business interests B win their contest? What you're doing is the equivalent of a sports fanatic insisting that someone pick a team to root for.

Give these "apathetic" people an actual choice (like say a pitchfork) and you'll see how they really feel. In fact, I'd posit that a primary mechanism by which elections are won is convincing people that "this time will be different".
I live on the coast in North Cornwall, UK. I lead a group of local beach cleaners, we meet once a week to pick up beach litter and I have amassed ~2.5 years of data [1] to date.

Microplastic is a concern. Larger-than-microplastic (?macroplastic) is also a worry, because it degrades into microplastic over time.

Our location [2] means that we don't get the typical beach waste washing up with the tides, and much of what we gather is fishing industry consumables. Nylon nets can usually be identified to a given vessel or fleet, but when they reach EOL they are sometimes shredded at sea -- which turns one net into many thousands of pieces 5cm / 2" long -- or dumped on known wreck sites.

These sites are not fished by commercial fishing organisations and the nets become ghost nets, catching the marine life that typically teems on wrecks…which then dies, degrades, and attracts other feeders, and the process repeats.

Anecdotally, I've had conversations with people in the industry over the past few years and it's common for nets to be left in situ once quota is met, since it's cheaper to replace a net than go over quota in port.

I realise all this isn't directly related to the OP article, but there are other considerations outside the microplastics generated from cosmetics, etc.

JavaScript is a minefield of unexpected behavior when you try things like this. Besides the issue with this-binding already mentioned in the thread, there are other examples of weird stuff that happens when you don't introduce an apparently redundant lambda:

[ 10, NaN, 2, 3, 4 ]

That's the thesis of the book Democracy for Realists. http://a.co/d/hg6wfUy

--

The only consistent way to boost turnout is competitive races. While I'm for universal, automatic voter registration (mostly for election integrity reasons), I acknowledge that it's just nibbling around the edges.

Big, sustainable increases in participation would come from switching to approval voting (or proportional representation, as appropriate) coupled with fair redistricting. Pretty much any measure to improve competitiveness will boost turnout.

That's setting the goalposts a bit narrow in terms of practical applications of ML. You can apply deep learning to solve problems aren't public facing, such as analytics forecasting.

> If Bannon has to have a public platform, make him work for it.

Fine.

> Have him stand on a stage and play the audio footage of the toddlers at the Mexican border screaming for their parents as they’re dragged away to detention.

Without examining actual data, how does she or anyone know the adults accompanying the toddlers were their parents? Or is that an assumption used for maximum emotional effect?

> Have him answer to the mothers of children who were gunned down by police because of the color of their skin

An assumption that we can read the minds of police officers.

> or to the friends and family of migrants who drowned in the Mediterranean.

Whose safety and happiness apparently rests solely on the shoulders of Europeans.

>That’s not a polite thing to say. It wouldn’t be a polite thing to do. But the idea that politeness and civility is owed to anyone in a position of power is one of the great gotchas of liberal thought.

No, it's not Ms. Penny. Moreover, it's as intellectually dishonest as anything Steve Bannon says. Because implicit in the statements is somehow we have to take extraordinary measures for children we've never met. To assert otherwise is to be labeled infanticidal. Not that Ms. Penny would ever use such a term. But that's the effect her statements intend to achieve.

What is YCombinator's take for their 100k investment? Also, it seems like YCombinator sells businesses as a product, not product as a business.

Can you explain this dichotomy in today's market? It seems kinda fake.
I noticed this too; uMaxtrix should catch this entire class of attack. Privacy Badger probably wouldn't - it watches for this sort of export, but its three-strikes rule targets trackers and misses unique attacks. Killing JS outright would do the trick also, but it looks like it would also have broken Newegg's checkout page.

Looks like yet another point for "treat web browsing as adversarial". The price of allowing pages to load freely isn't just high weight, trackers, and ads - all too frequently it's actual security failures. I understand that ad/tracker blocking is a problem for keeping sites profitable, but I can't really imagine bending on that issue as long as monetization techniques and threat vectors overlap so heavily.

Looks like the release date for the 2070 is Oct 20th, so if all else fails, check out the landscape in regards to benchmarks and stuff as it gets closer - and if you buy 2nd hand I betcha a bunch of cheap 1070's will pop up as well. I just don't know if the major retailers will get rid of all their 1070 stock before the 2070 launches, that could be a problem. New Egg still has a ton of 1080's up and the 2080 released today, so I imagine you'll be safe.

I've been working on a simple Activity Reporting tool for a few months now and I could use... all sorts of help.

Firstly, I've only been a "professional" developer for a few years. I've been a hacker most of my life, but bad habits of being self taught and never having my code reviewed means that I'm not confident enough to open source. Just having someone look at what I'm doing and give pointers would be HUGE. Finding someone who is willing to help write the code would be amazing... but this is a free service which means there's no money. It's purely a passion project.

I'm not a marketing guy, so writing good copy for the site has been a struggle... which makes finding early adopters difficult. I have a hard time staying motivated without immediate need... so having users is vital to the success of the project.

Honestly, there is just so much I need, having someone to chat with regularly about the project would be super appreciated.
