I said a good case could be made for expanding the Court, not for packing the Court. For example, Congress could pass an expansion plan that adds a new Justice every 4 years until the new size is reached.

As far as prompting a civil war goes, we had a minority party use filibusters for years to block most judicial appointments of the majority party from even getting considered, with the intent of holding them open until they could get a majority. That same party also held a Supreme Court seat open for a year, refusing to even hold a hearing on the nominee--a nominee that they had just told the President was someone they could approve of! (And they openly talked of holding the seat open during the entire term of the next President if that President was not of their party).

And now that the aforementioned minority party has a majority in Congress, they are rapidly filling all those seats they held open, often with young lawyers with little judicial experience, and some rated "unqualified" by the ABA, and accuse anyone who tries to actually vet the candidates of partisan obstructionism.

If that didn't get anyone up in arms, I doubt a little court packing would do so.

In regards to southern accents, there's a reason that southerners make-up the largest percentage (can't remember where I saw this, though) of students in accent reduction classes.

And there's some studies on this form of discrimination.

Of course a presentation is subjective. There are, however, significantly better ways of presenting a debate over something than finding the one person who holds the exact opposite of the current mainstream view and bringing them on radio or television or giving them opinion columns in the newspaper, repeatedly, until they manage to whip up a crowd who are angry enough at the state of the world and want someone to blame to believe them.
> 1) The distribution of bitcoins among individuals is not known, any claim to the contrary is false.

How can this be true? Bitcoin is a public ledger and you see every accounts balance. If anything the publicly available account balances seem like a lower bound for the Gini coefficient as it is very likely people have multiple wallets (especially with large balances) where it's unlikely any group of people shares the same wallet (creating and distributing funds among multiple wallets is more secure and trivial).
My wife and I leave large portions of our lawn untended. We seed ours with flowering native plants and herbs. We had fireflies and butterflies and bees galore this year— noticeably more than any of our neighbors. It’s not much, but it’s something.
it is a bit meta, because i didnt have anything to comment on facebook's move, it seems rather obvious, (although it would probably be easier for them as company to ban political advertising altogether this time).
You also need to balance what happens if you do have the scan too.

Over-testing leads to over-diagnosis, and that can be harmful.
> Eagles can see 4-8x further than humans can and many varieties of birds can see in additional spectrums to ours.

So can digital cameras.

The reason for (active) SONAR is the lack of ambient sound. An alternative for a car would be headlights. Or passive infrared cameras.

How many users:

a) Know what TLS is

b) and, have a secure channel to their destination website that allows them to determine that it intends to serve TLS 1.0

c) and, aren't in a position to just upgrade the darn thing to at least TLS 1.2?

d) and, know that there are no undisclosed weaknesses in the outdated design of TLS 1.0 or in the outdated cryptography that it mandate

Most users fail a). Basically the only way to pass b) is to be the website operator or someone that knows that person or group in real life. But, to pass c), you can't be the operator. Then, finally, no one can really pass d), but, the closest you could get would be to be a part of a sophisticated government sponsored security agency, probably working as a cryptographer and definitely being kept up to date on pretty sensitive intelligence. And for reasons that aren't clear, you are totally fine with the website in question running on outdated crypto - so, in addition, you are probably bad at your job.

How many people fit that description? Those are the people that have a right to consider this a user hostile change. I'm willing to bet its a pretty small group. Everyone else benefits since they either know they can't make a good choice as to whether to accept TLS 1.0 from a website, or, mistakenly think they can.
Interesting perspective, thanks for sharing. But what about discriminating against asians to help hispanic numbers? Hispanics are also recent arrivals to the USA and were not historically enslaved.

And perhaps even more biting: what about discriminating against asians to help white numbers?
You sent a market order while the market was actually closed, so it could not be executed at the time. RH was protecting you from getting a fill far away from the last price, because the stock gapped up massively that Monday. 264.77 was the close on Friday, and 305.77 was the open on Monday. You should be thanking them, because otherwise your position would be around $45 under water by now. Never use market orders outside of regular trading hours; you have no idea where you are going to get filled.
Are you asking about diversity of race only? Or diversity in general? The argument is that a more diverse student body creates a better educational environment for everyone - it broadens the experience. In addition to your academic studies, you learn about interacting with people who are different from you. People who think differently, reach different conclusions, even when confronted with the same data.

Racial diversity is only part of the equation. You also want gender diversity and class/income diversity - any of the major factors that shape how we view the world.
Because changing temperatures would move insect habitation ranges around, meaning you'd see insect species outside of their previous range (and indeed we do see that). Industrial scale use of insecticides, on the other hand, is more consistent with large scale die-offs.
Only as long as there are warm bodies to hold them.
Now that’s a claim for which I would like to see more proof.

Because if most men would do this (and most implies: a majority of them), then even the current deluge of reports would be nothing compared to what you’d expect it to be.

I’ve have asked female colleagues about this and while they did complain about sexism, it was always isolated cases. Not most men.

I am a beta tester for project stream, and it amazes me how well it works if you have a reliable internet connection.

Correcting myself here: this particular example isn’t fraudulent. You asked for something that was being offered, you paid the asking price, and you got it. They’d sell it to you whether you intend to eat the fries or not. They don’t care. So there’s no misrepresentation and no reliance. Those elements aren’t met, so no fraud occurs.

Services can be different than goods in this regard. In the airline example, the seller prices flights differently for different destinations. When you indicate an intent to fly to city B by requesting a ticket with that destination, and the airline offers you a ticket whose destination is the one you asked for, their offer is made in reliance on your stated intent. So if you intentionally abandon your trip sooner, you reveal your true intent: to fly to city C. And if the price for flying to city C was higher, then you deprived the seller of a benefit they’d otherwise have had because they wouldn’t have sold you the ticket for the same price had you revealed your true intent at the start of the transaction.
It doesn't even take months. Reputable hosting companies give you a "clean" IP that isn't on any blacklists; its reputation is yours to make or break from that point onward. Send clean mail from the get-go and the IP's reputation goes from "neutral" to "trusted" very quickly, in a week or two tops.

You end up on blacklists by sending out spam. Don't spam - meaning, don't send unsolicited emails. That's it. That's all. Done. There's no magical secret sauce to this like SES, SendGrid, Sparkpost, and friends want you to believe.

There are two things you have to do to not spam:

- Don't be the one sending spam. Don't send your users any email they don't ask for short of extenuating circumstances that truly or legally warrant it, like a security breach. Just don't. This also includes making it brain-dead simple to unsubscribe from anything they once signed up for.

- Don't let anyone else send spam through your server. Keep it locked down. Lots of criminals are constantly prowling the IPv4 address space for poorly secured mail servers to fire out a million crappy scam mails from before a blacklist notices.

The amount of work that blacklists create is grossly overblown. If you're doing email right, the only time you'll ever interact with one is when your mail server gets owned - in which case, you send the blacklists a quick note to explain what happened, that you fixed it, and they take you off of it within a day.

Sign up for mxtoolbox.com, secure your server, respect your users' inboxes, and you only have the box's uptime to worry about.

my assumption is that you can fool people one time. The republicans may get a chance to blame 'deplatforming' . But democrats blaming again the russians when facebook is vigilant and the whole world is watching closely .... hard to be convincing.
> ... I have more than I need to be happy.

End of story. You're doing fine. Trying to compare yourself to others is a losing game. You also went on to say that living in the Bay Area makes it hard to escape. I'm no therapist, but if I were, I'd be telling you that you just answered your own question. You aren't unhappy about your money, you're unhappy with where you live.

But to answer your question of how to escape it, I live on a small farm just far enough out of a big city to never really go there, and try to live a simple life with my family. It works for us.

I don’t even know that you can put a limit order on mutual fund purchases. My gut tends to doubt it, but I’m too lazy to go try.

Regardless, I’ve traded for decades and on high-volume stocks (which are the ones you’re likely to trade), putting limit orders in is a waste of effort. For some folks, it’s important to save a few cents. For you, not so much. Different story on penny stock or < 100K/day in volume, but if you’re buying AAPL just put a market order in.

I used to receive a lot of spam from them, but recently (in the past year) they seem to have cleaned up their act. My last spam report to them was in July.

Most of the spam that gets through my spam filter now comes from gmail (which is impossible to do anything about, as google doesn't give a fuck about abuse reports).

The article specifically addresses and refutes this:

>Huge numbers of bugs have been lost in a pristine national forest in Puerto Rico... [it] remains the only tropical rain forest in the National Forest system

>Lister pointed out that, since 1969, pesticide use has fallen more than 80 percent in Puerto Rico

The article also provides several - reputable, scientific - references that demonstrate a predicted loss of insects in tropical regions from thermal pressure.
The current volume of reports is almost certainly a small fraction of the actual occcurrences.

At the beginning of the article, the authors cite 3 anonymous sources:

> ... according to three people with knowledge of the matter, who asked not to be identified because the details are private...

Then, the end of the article mentions 3 VCs:

> Two venture capitalists, speaking on condition of anonymity because the discussions were private, expressed concern that Robinhood's ties to high-frequency traders might undermine its image and stymie expansion plans. A third said it was the reason he didn't invest.

I wonder if this article is the product of some VC sour grapes.
No, but cheetahs did at the speeds vehicles would be operating in autonomous mode, and various birds fly even faster.
There has been a decent amount of projects recently. Andes Announced 1.2 GHz CPUs made on 28nm die, and a Chinese company are taking orders for a 400MHz dual-core AI chip. SiFive at the start of the year did start selling HiFive Unleashed, but it is very expensive.

The Berkeley processor is mostly a research CPU for FPGAs. I would however love to see it on actual silicon.

At a guess i'd say it will be a few years until we see RISC-V popping up in more places.
Maybe they should make a special category for those who want to compete only against people of comparable base physiology.
There is an element of chance in getting into any top school, but only among the applicants who meet all the other qualifications. That is, between two students with 4.0 GPA, great SAT scores, and a wide selection of extracurricular activities and community service, it's a toss up. But a student with poor grades has no chance. It doesn't matter how many times the student with bad grades sends his application, he isn't getting in just by random chance. When it comes to Harvard, I would guess that 80-90% of applicants can be dropped immediately due to grades, SAT scores or lack of activities. Out of the remaining pool, for those without extenuating circumstances such as athleticism or family connections, is where such as race and "personality" might become a factor, and who ends up getting picked has an element of randomness.
“Believe none of what you hear, and only half of what you see”
Your link shows all the clients you’re blocking. Expand the “unsupported clients” section. You’re currently blocking a lot of clients some folks care about (I say good riddance to them, but not everyone can).
That sort of binary thinking harms real people.

To make this clear, I'll apply it to something else: It isn't OK to tell a kid not to play out in a highway, because that is victim blaming, and you're saying that it is OK for drivers to run kids down. Parents who tell kids to say out of the road are perpetuating a hit-and-run culture.

Real people get hurt when we pretend that victimhood is fully unrelated to the behavior of potential victims, or that pointing out foolish behavior is somehow an approval of a criminal's actions.
I really like all the innovations with indoor farming. But I have always thought that it’s missing a huge chunk of the bigger picture. The rest of the eco system and habitat. Traditional farming(as we know it) is not that close to nature. It’s is essentially an open air factory for food...largely aided by chemicals and a lot of brute horse power. In all this, nature and it’s balancing effects are lost.
I'm having a hard time believing this is actually a common case. The flow you've laid out almost certainly breaks SEC rules - Credit Suisse's (now closed) retail execution unit was fined for this exact trade less than a month ago (https://www.sec.gov/news/press-release/2018-224). If this is how internalizers make money, they should all be in existential crisis right now. As far as I can tell, they are not.

Even at 20 million, that barely matches Russian casualties in WWII alone [1]. let alone India's deaths from Muslim populations (est 400+ million)[2]. Let alone the hundred million+ killed under Communist regimes [3]. And many of these acts occurred when the planet had far fewer people in it.

I'm not saying that U.S. foreign involvement is a total good, but it's far from the worst country in human history.

Also, are you saying that the U.S. is forcing Libyans to have a slave trade? That the people there have no choice in the matter?

Masayoshi Son ( founder of SoftBank ) is legendary for betting big and winning big and also betting big and losing big.

During the dotcom boom, he became the richest man in the world for a few days by betting big and then during the crash, he lost almost all of his net worth.

https://www.quora.com/How-did-Masayoshi-Son-lose-70-billion-...

He was able to maintain power and keep softbank afloat while losing billions during the dotcom crash. So he has powerful backers and contacts who believe in him and are willing to carry him during rough times. That's very rare. In many ways, he reminds me of bezos and musk. For some reason, they are able to get the support of big money while losing a lot of money.
The RX was released in 98 but was really a rebadged Toyota Harrier and came out a year prior in JDM.
Similar to what others have said here, I've noticed a marked decline in dead bugs on my vehicle following cross-country road trips over the last 10-15 years.

I never have to clean my windshield of dead bugs anymore. The first time I visited the midwest after moving to CA, something like 10 years ago now, via i80, the front of my car was completely covered with insects to the point you could barely see the paint.

Every successive year I made that same trip the dead bugs lessened until there was simply no need at all to even clean my car upon arrival.

Things are changing, there's no doubt about it.

I just hope the species evolving to thrive in the emerging conditions are as easy to cohabitate with as the ones going extinct. Other than a small subset like mosquitoes, wasps, ticks, and some spiders, insects have been rather hospitable to us. Maybe not so much in the future.
Ah. So we are not talking about the same thing then.
You don’t “fail” due to lack of 1.1, you can still get an A+ as evidenced by Pete’s link. That said, you’ll notice that his server is blocking a bunch of clients that maybe you care about.
Ever wondered why in millions of years nature didnt evolve a LIDAR equivalent and most species use passive vision?

Because it compensated for poor sensor hardware with a processing unit and software that we have thus far been unable to even come close to replicating? Granted, solve that, and we’re just a few years away!

i'll take the "never use market orders outside of market hours" and extend it to "never use market orders". specify what you're willing to pay. it should also lessen any anxiety about people paying for your order flow, as they can't make you pay more than you already decided you were happy to pay for the equity.
In what world is the goal of an academic institution to produce students with good grades and not to produce students who are capable of accomplishing things?
One of the problems I see here, and would love to find a way to solve it, is that software is best developed interatively. I see a lot of software that has some cool ideas, it just needs some tweaks to get rid of ridiculously annoying flaws, or needs to put some more control in the user's hands.

Unfortunately, and inevitably, a little tweak in medical software may as well be a tweak on a satellite in space.

Like I said, changes need to be prevented from making the software bad, but the difficulty of making changes also makes the software bad. I don't know what the solution is, but I would like to see this aspect addressed more explicitly.

An opportunity came up and I thought I’d try it. The jury is still out but I think the role fits me better—project management seems to be more execution oriented than creative idea-generating. I’m also a big believer of being a generalist, so any opportunity to wear a new hat is welcome!
