Not the OP, but the best way to contrast liberalism is from the perspective of Puritanism. Puritans were certainly not liberal socially, but they were also not liberal governmentally - many of the laws in Puritanical societies were highly restrictive, and pre-modern liberalism had its roots in creating a more free society - Puritanism is a non-negligible part of American history.

Modern leftism tends to be more authoritarian - it encourages restrictive legislation as a mechanism for progress. This is the dystopian future alluded to in a lot of e.g. Heinlein's work - things like forced sexual liberalism, erosion of parental rights or even parentage itself, elimination of the individual for the cause, and discrimination against the individual based on factors outside of their control.

Americans tend to view political affiliation as a binary - left or right, progressive or conservative, liberal or authoritarian. That's because, due to our history, we have always tended to have a leftist, progressive, liberal party contrasted with a right-leaning, conservative, authoritarian party.

That language is in and of itself somewhat complex - prohibitionists were considered progressives in their time, though today we would view them as otherwise.

I dont think it sounds dystopian. There is a taboo around intelligence as if it is the most precious thing on earth. History (and AI) prove that intelligence matters in some extremely high levels, but for most knowledge jobs intelligence is far from everything.
Currently reading this book about continuity of government [1] and many Presidents have done the full exercise, including activating the older emergency alert systems in over the air TV. Other parts of these exercises include the emergency evac from White House to bunker or flying command post, testing comms with subs and other command authorities, and walking through response plan selection, and last, the process of launching the weapons. I don't believe it ever worked fully, and I hope that this test was part of one of these exercises. The book makes it clear that these plans are only updated every 10-15 years and almost never tested end to end, especially now that the cold war is over.

A tale of the unending hunt for dark matter
I went into the purchase with very clear expectations about what I'd be using it for. It's not a full blown laptop (like it's Pro cousins), it's a tablet/netbook. I'll browse the web, do like document work, and watch Netflix on it. I won't be multitasking or doing anything crazy.

For me, it's basically a digital notebook which is exactly what I want it to be.
Small "d" democratic is something done through the process of democracy. Capital "D" Democratic is something belonging to the Democrats.

You are answering a different question. The collapse of a homogeneous (i.e. FRW) universe produces an increasingly dense, but still homogeneous universe. Without a central singularity and an outside, it looks nothing like a black hole (as asked).

BTW, expansion alone is not quite enough to answer why the early universe didn't collapse. You can have very rapid expansion, yet a closed universe which eventually comes to a standstill and then starts shrinking. A better answer is that the universe is very close to having critical density, i.e. just enough mass to expand forever at an asymptotically declining rate, absent new drivers of expansion (i.e. dark energy).

One thing our answers have in common is fine-tuning: the universe started out ridiculously homogeneous, and ridiculously close to the critical density. Inflation provides a way to explain both those properties, but (as critics are fond of pointing out) at the cost of fine-tuning the hypothetical microphysics needed to drive it.
For companies with compliance requirements, you're required to change the systems explicitly; this is one of the reason why Docker images work so well; you can target specific tags for deployment and nothing changes with the same tag.

Aside from that; I think its a bad idea to have things update automatically. What if the upstream fix breaks things? It reduces trust in the build system.
Finally someone's dropping real talk in this thread.

It's so easy to game the system of charitable giving and make it profitable that it's a joke.

Art Auction houses (arguably ) exist primarily to aid rich people's tax evasion. Guaranteed minimums on objects sold, "anonymous" sockpuppet buyers artificially bidding up prices, appraisals done by people with no incentive not to inflate prices -- all of these things make tax evasion easy for the .01%.

When you're that rich you hire a former IRS agent who quit to work in the private sector. He helps you evade all the tax laws that he once worked to enforce, because he knows them better than anyone.

Rich people can inflate the value of their artworks with trivial ease through the auction house system.

All they're doing is avoiding taxes.

For AI talent shortage: Recruit philosophy students
I don't actually use m43, but 16 or even 24mp would be rather inadequate for my needs, especially from a bayer sensor.

I do my printing at 720 ppi on Pictorico OHP transparency stock, which I then use to contact print cyanotypes or pt/pd (I'm really dedicated to useless stuff). You can see how the resolution requirements for anything bigger than a postcard are stringent.

In practice I use either a Sony A7r (36mp, with very sharp primes) a Sigma with a foveon sensor (which holds up very well to the Sony at ISO 100, and it's not like I use the Sony at more than ISO 100) or high-resolution scans from Adox CMS20 II microfilm stock (ISO 20, there is a special low contrast developer for pictorial contrast) shoot on a Leica or Contax with their respective very highly resolving primes.
Indeed. Also some platforms (I believe Coursera and EdX were like this last time I used them) only let you access old content if you signed up with a course when it was active. So you are incentivized to sign up for any course if you think there's a possibility that you might want to access some of the content at some point in the future.

People shouldn't confuse completion rate with a particular course with a student reaching proficiency in a particular subject. There have been several courses I've started were I quickly got annoyed by the copious amount of filler in the lectures and dropped the course in favor of a book or web tutorial.

In general I think MOOCs are doing themselves a disservice by trying to copy college courses.

Sometimes. 5GHz is great for apartments (where you have lots of noise and a tiny area) and offices (where you have lots of noise and a large budget), but for a villa 2.4GHz usually hits the sweet spot between noise and coverage.

Both here and in the US, I've found that airports usually are not good places to get SIMs - there seems to be some agreement whereby the expensive ones aimed at tourists are all that's available. Supermarkets or department stores tend to be my go-to.
I think they're referring to the problem of measuring programmer output (and thus, measuring programmer efficiency). And how the output of that work (lines of code) can actually be reduced, but still considered productive.

Mostly the advantage would be that 1) you wouldn't have to maintain the buildpack yourself, 2) operators can upgrade your software without needing to get you to do it, 3) upgrades might actually be faster due to layer rebasing and 4) if you add other stacks to your architecture, you still have the same development, deployment and update experience.
> complicates debugging and performance reasoning

Lots of people say this, very few understand what it actually means and how to do the analyses.

> Laziness is, in my opinion, the wrong default.

Unfortunately, GHC is still the only compiler with first-class support for laziness as well as strictness. And you need both if you want to be able to do immutable functional programming.

But in the grand scheme of things it doesn't really matter if you know what you're doing when you use data structures. Some data structures are meant to be strict, others lazy. Haskell allows you to create data structures that are strict in the right places fairly cheaply.

This is an interesting way to frame the issue! However, your point about there being no overhead to organize food purchases seems dubious to me. Charities have overhead costs, too. And even if a food bank were run entirely by volunteers at no monetary cost to the public, there is a social cost in terms of the time the volunteers are donating.

Furthermore, I suspect that the improper valuation of “ugly” produce leads to other sources of waste. Sure - some percentage of it makes its way to food banks. But how much of it is left to spoil or used to feed livestock?

You are conflating that it is possible for a human to reasonably fast manually "compile" C into assembly, with that being the only way to do it. Many times the resulting code from modern clang/gcc is so optimized there isn't even any assembly code left to reason about. Even with -Og i many times get the famous "Optimized out" when trying to look at a variable in GDB, with -O3 even more so.

You are correct though that it is a close as you are going to get compared to many other languages, mostly because they all will make use of GC, vtables and dynamics on almost every line of code which adds noise in generated output or they run behind an interpretter or JIT.
haha, "four-flag key" is still an inside joke with my family because of how many times we got a scammer to say it while they "provided tech support" to us :)
> most Americans don't want to do back-breaking manual labor for a living, and b) most Americans also want food to be cheap.

Combine these and you're right. Most Americans don't want to do back-breaking labor for a pittance. Grocery checkers (union) make $18.50/hour. Bus drivers (union) make $29/hour. Journeyman (union) electricians make $50/hour.

Try paying more than $15/hour for farm labor and you'll have more applicants than you know what to do with.
> Wikipedia mods aren’t expected to be experts on research chemistry or theoretical physics.

I agree. That is why they should not make a judgement to delete a Wikipedia page because of irrelevance before people who are knowledgeable on the respective topic have been consulted/given their opinion.
> Laziness can make it harder for some to reason about performance as an example.

Lots of people are fond of pointing this out, but very few are actually able to reason about performance of lazy data structures.
Autonomous driving is a very capital heavy sector. You need real-world driving to get data and to test the software which requires capital for vehicles, equipment and salaries for people to be in the car. Uber's self-driving division is costing the company $200mm per quarter.

Most infrastructure could be build entirely by robots. A really big issue with lunar landing sites is the debris kicked up by landing and take off. Berms would have to be built up around settlements. Fortunately, lunar regolith can be sintered with microwave radiation, effectively creating what resembles volcanic glass.

Throw in the fact that refining and 3d printing metals on the moon is pretty easy due to the free vacuum, and you can built nearly everything before humans have to get there.
I think 'at your own pace' is great if you dedicate yourself and put in the time. But to actually get the desired outcome, you still usually need some sort of guidance and timeline to move along. I think this shows with a lot MOOCs vs Lambda School.
I'm not making a case for progressivism here and I'm clear on the traditional (and international?) definition of "liberal."

I'm mainly interested in what specifically constitutes a liberal platform or policy model in the US. I genuinely don't know what it looks like. The descriptions I hear are typically hand-wavey in a way that reminds me of communist rhetoric; lots of ideals, few details, and typically reactionary (defined by what it isn't).

I'm assuming this is a gap in my knowledge/experience and I'd love to fill it in.

Isn't everything mostly hype? After you have a certain minimal level of strength and cardio capacity, how much do those actually affect your life?

From the article: "Although it can boost flexibility, the value of this is unclear, and no other measurable and significant benefit to stretching has ever been proven."

The thing I had to learn the hard way was the value of flexibility. You can pump out squats and go for a jog, but if your knees and ankles hurt when you go down stairs, you have a problem. If you can't sit on the ground with your back straight, you have a flexibility problem. A lot of lower back pain comes from flexibility issues.

What is the value of flexibility? Go visit a nursing home and see people who can barely move. Part of that is lack of strength, part is lack of cardio, and part is lack of flexibility.

----

Also, you should beware of lessons learned the hard way. A lot of times they are another way expressing a pain point, sometimes with a solution that worked - but that solution may not be optimal.
> This corporate-supported agriculture was avidly commodifying agribusiness’ food “waste” and had little to do with supporting the community.
