I'm somewhat disappointed Vice chose to include the MrRobotBadge in their write up. The creator of that badge has expressed a lot of support for regressive political candidates, and just yesterday they announced their plan to distribute 3D printed guns at next year's Def Con [1]. This is simply unconscionable given the shooting in Las Vegas last year, and the mandatory room inspections attendees experienced at this year's con.

That would be interesting; I wonder how courts would treat a voluntary sworn statement vs. absolute immunity. (A bit of an academic question; getting judges to do this would never happen in the US.)

Why the Easy Money Era of Venture Capital Will End Soon
Thats just not true... The British Bombes worked just fine and were VERY effective. You might be confused in thinking that the British Bombe was a single machine. It wasn't there were several iterations of it and it evolved throughout the war to meet the new demands. Additionally the ORIGINAL Bombe didn't include the diagonal board enhancement invented by Gordon Welchman. This improved the performance of the Bombes greatly.

The US Bombes were better and workloads moved over to them for that reason, mainly because the US could make them faster with a better (later) design. But they come online 3 years after the first British Bombes which were in effective use until the US Bombes were available. It was the 4 rotor naval enigma that slowed things down somewhat.

I've owned 4 iterations of kindles, and imho current Oasis is in a whole different category than any of my previous ones. Physical page up/down buttons, splashproof, one-handed reading comfort, pixel density, page-turning speed, battery life... it all adds up to a nearly "perfect" ebook reader.
From that perspective, it's possible to see Trump's schizophrenic foreign policy as a sort of negotiation from his previous stated position of non-interventionism. He could get away with peace talks with Kim only by countering them with saber-rattling toward Iran. He has avoided the planned Syrian War but still managed to drop bombs in Syria. The military-industrial-media complex wants Endless War, and they were only too happy to corrupt progressives in order to pressure Trump. The biggest risk now is that D's take back both houses, and Trump starts another disastrous war in order to avoid impeachment and removal from office.

With no additional case, the Hero7 is safe to 10m. With a case, you can go much deeper. The default waterproof case that my Hero4 came with is good to 33m (and I've taken it to 33m myself). There's a dive enclosure that's good to 60m. I'm sure there are even better after-market options, but very few people dive beyond 30m.

With the case on my Hero4, I wouldn't expect any problems leaving it in a pool for even months at a time. I haven't seen the Hero7 but if it survives an hour it'll probably survive a lot longer, unless something is particularly sensitive to chlorine.

I also agree that a much larger congress would be a better thing. Returning to less large rep districts would be more representative. Granted, the House would become geometrically more chaotic (handshaking problem), but I think a better system would emerge.

That said, I don't think you are correct, at all, when you say that money is the only thing that matters. Votes matter. For example: The Nov 2012 Los Angeles elections. I voted in those elections. Mayor Garcetti won the election with only 5.4% of the city voting for him [0]. That means that I voted for ~20 Los Angelenos with my single ballot. Basically, I voted for half my homeroom in High School. You cannot buy votes nor stuff ballot boxes at the exchange rate I was able to affect with my single vote. And this was a presidential election, where turnout is typically higher. For the majority of local elections, I was voting for nearly my entire graduating class!

Another good example was Eric Cantor's primary election in 2014 [1]. Despite being the House Majority Leader, and despite outspending his opponent not just 2 to 1, not just 10 to 1, but 40 to 1, Cantor LOST. And it wasn't close, he lost 45% to 55%, a 10 point difference. Cantor resigned as Majority Leader on July 31st.

Money does not count.

Your. Vote. Counts.

No.

There are lots of ways to twist the language around to make it confusing, and that's all that this does. They are not evaluating the performance of one or more lawyers. They are evaluating all of the evidence before them (all of it that is admissible, anyway) to determine whether the defendant is guilty according to law (as opposed to according to their own feelings, etc.).

You can tell they aren't there to judge the prosecuting attorney's performance because not all of the evidence comes from the prosecuting attorney. Thankfully. If it did, you'd have a lot more false convictions. That's why we have defense attorneys even when we can't afford them ourselves. Likewise, you are not judging the defense attorney's performance, because that would require you to start with an assumption of guilt. Nor are you there to judge the combined performance of both of them. That doesn't even make sense. They are not a team working together. They are there to put evidence before the jury (or try to dismiss evidence in various ways) and try to convince them of a particular interpretation of that evidence. So their performance is affecting the outcome, but they are not the ones being judged.
This relates to a fundamental question of what the criminal justice system is for: Punishment, deterrent, undoing wrongs, etc.

I predict that I’m in the minority in believing what I’m about to say: In the unlikely event that it turned out the best way of minimising homicide was to promise every single convict £1 million and a 12 hour episode television show in their name, if that actually minimised homicide, I’d be in favour of that response to it. I will of course freely admit that the reason I can say something so shocking is because I don’t know anyone who’s been murdered.

I care about minimising the aggregate rate of all homicide, not punishment for it’s own sake.

I was going to make this same joke. It's hard to put faith into a product when Google keeps killing them off. Wave and Google Code are two top of mind products that I missed when they were gone.

Conversely, I think it's important for Google engineers to be able to try new things and publish products without having to worry about supporting them forever. Is there some sort of happy medium? Like a Google labs of products that are in various states of whimsical testing?

Cloud source looks nice, and for GCP projects I'm sure it will have a nice tie in, but for now I'm 100% more likely to push code to Gitlab until it makes sense to do otherwise.
Who is stopping "us"? As far as I can tell, we do get to place that blame, and many of us frequently do. I hear extremely few voices claiming the DNC was totally secure or had no responsibility to secure itself. The topic doesn't HAVE to be a combative battlefield where you are either allowed to blame one thing entirely or the other, depending on your political leanings.

I don't think you need reviews to see that these are the cards to get for DL. We already know the performance of Titan V and 1080Ti cards. 2080Ti is a lot more cost efficient than Titan V, and 2080 is a lot faster than 1080Ti due to tensor cores.
That would have been a great video.

He was an accomplice to the murder, having supplied the illegal murder weapon - a TEC-9 semi-automatic pistol - and having arrived at the area of the crime in the same vehicle.

So yes he was in fact a bad guy and yes he did deserve to be in jail for aiding the crime - he shouldn't have been convicted as the shooter and his prison sentence should not have been nearly so long as it was.

> Economic transactions create a tax debt which creates demand for currency to pay the government. Sell stock, car, or some Twinkies, even in a different currency, and they get a cut.

That is absolutely correct. But nowhere does it demand that you conduct these transactions in USD. USD ends up getting used because it's convenient, which is because people have to pay their tax debts at the end of the year. However, that is a problem that can be trivially solved by software now, especially as society becomes more and more cashless.

As long as the US government accepts payment for taxes in USD, there will always be some demand for it. However, there is nothing actually stopping people from using other currencies for their normal transactions, which would substantially decrease demand for USD, and thereby reduce its value.

There is no sense in which the US government 'backs' dollars, except insofar as they are incentivized not to do anything to actively destroy them.

This leads to an obvious question: should anyone have the right to know who the jury is?

After all, if you don’t know who they are, you can’t bribe them or blackmail them. Same argument applies to the judge.

Hillary Clinton has all the charisma of a sack full of angry cats but I don't think she did insult her voter base.

She insulted racists, bigots, sexists, etc... but those people aren't her base. Angry, disenfranchised rural white voters and their embrace of Trump's populism by way of race-culture supremacy/identity as a reaction against America's demographic and cultural shift has been thoroughly documented. Also, her description of the rationale for the rest of Trump voters is one that Trump voters themselves admit to.

What didn't happen is Hillary Clinton calling all Trump supporters (or, by extension, all white people or all working class people) racist and "deplorable."
I was hopeful but for my simple uses, it doesn't work.

I use gitg in a on Ubuntu VM, also known as "GitX" on Mac.

The basic UI of gitg is much easier to read and browse, the commits and details are top/bottom instead of left right. With SM, I have to expand the window a whole lot more sideways to be able to read the commits. Also with SM my name is under each commit.. but since I work mostly solo, it's added noise that makes the list more difficult to read (what with the commit messages and the author name underneath practically same font size. here the gitg top/bottom layout means the author names and dates can go in other columns making the commit list easier to scan.

In gitg I have a quick view of what files changed, how much they changed, I can dive in if I want to see the actual code. With SM it seems by default you get a full spread of all the changes across several files.

Lack of separation in general, lots and lots of text floating in space with few lines or separation. Lots of subdued color. Buttons that don't look like buttons.

That said my use case is fairly simple. I work mostly on local repos, so for me gitg is a convenient way to see what I was working on last time, and to stage changes in meaningful commits. I don't need it to do a bunch of other things.

The merge sounds great though.. I really miss that... but as it is SM lacks contrast and readability for me.

Hopefully constructive feedback.
Agree you shouldn't talk, but if you talk you should probably tell the truth. If they ask if you were at the crime scene and you say no, and they find you actually were there, they'll consider your lying evidence of your guilt.

Not quite the same thing, but Nick Yarris spent 21 years on death row [1] because he was (unjustly) facing life in prison for an unrelated offense and thought he could maybe be released if he lied about knowing information about a murder. When they found out his information was wrong, they charged him with the murder and convicted him. He was exonerated based on DNA evidence.

So, yeah. If you tell the truth, you might be considered guilty, and if you lie, you might be considered guilty. The best option is to say nothing.

All of these (or even the majority) are controlled by the DNC?

I don't think so, and if that isn't on the nose enough for you, I'll just say that I think you're talking about 24 hour news networks... CNN specifically. Yea, they endorsed Clinton as hard as they could.

So STOP WATCHING THEM, and stop equating journalism to the likes of CNN and Fox. Watch and/or read something else. You speak English and live in a country with a protected press (which is why this article is worrying in the first place). There are literally thousands of newspapers, magazines, television news shows (and networks) out there.

Pick a couple of reputable ones (including at least one that challenges your views) and stop watching piffle.

Apathy may be a huge part of it, but that doesn't negate the very real policies that are put in place to prevent people from voting:

- Extremely long poll lines, especially in underserved areas or those mostly populated by racial/ethnic minorities.

- Making people vote on a work day without federal holiday means that it's a financial obstacle, and employment risk. Again, this mostly hits the poor and underserved.

- No paper trail, and extremely hackable voter machines, not enough movement to fix them. [1]

- Voting Rights Act rollback: it was almost impossible to vote if you were Black in racist-run parts of the south (really, look at this [6]), and the protection against this got rolled back in 2013. There's been a bunch of voting law changes since [8].

- ID requirements that have been researched thoroughly and demonstrated to do almost nothing to reduce fraud but virtually always lower turnout, usually to minority populations. [7]

Aside from the topic of voter turnout itself, there are many other ways the democratic ideal is attacked by policy, such as gerrymandering[2], or the fact that we often refer to political parties as "half the country" when in reality only ~26% of the electorate voted for the current president[3], it was a single-digit percentage that voted for each of the eventual candidates in the primaries[4], and even "the electorate" is a lot smaller than our adult working population because felons aren't allowed to vote and we imprison more adults (mostly from poor and underserved populations) than any other industrialized nation. [5]

All this to say, yes, there's a lot of understandable apathy in our system, and we shouldn't judge their lack of desire to vote as some kind of moral failing. But there are many people who would love to participate in a democratic process but there are many concrete (and solvable) factors (with evidence and history beyond "an assumption") preventing participation, and the end result almost always favors a small group of people who don't represent the general population and already have a lot of power.

Here's a big one: illegal immigration.

1. The US-Mexico border wall. The purpose of the wall is to prevent people from illegally crossing the border to enter the US. Say what you will about its effectiveness. I doubt it would be that effective and think our money is better spent elsewhere. But if you support it, you'll be branded a racist.

2. Deporting illegal aliens. If you agree that people who are in the US illegally should be deported, you'll be branded a racist. Race has nothing to do with it. It's the legality of it. If you don't like the law, lobby for it to be changed. You'll also be accused of hating all immigrants (i.e., ones here legally) which has no basis.
I don't know about Vapid, but with perch it automatically does some categorization for you. Obviously each page on your site has it's own page in the CMS for setting variables. You can also subgroup pages into sections, still just using simple templating functions. And then there is also a dedicated page for managing your various images/resources.

The main use case I think is for people who build landing pages for other people.

A static site generator is good if you're building a landing page for yourself, but if you're building a website for the butcher shop down the road, they're not gonna want to edit individual markdown files. So you throw in some Perch (or Vapid) variables and it does the rest for you. Then you can just give the shop owner a login and they can edit the site as they see fit.

The appeal is to have the ease of a static site generator (you don't have to develop your HTML with any sort of "CMS" in mind) while actually having that CMS functionality.

I'm excited about multiple products in this space, because it means I can probably switch between them in a matter of minutes/hours, realistically.
