I definitely don't believe that today and I doubt it will ever come to pass. There are more cash-efficient ways to influence elections than warping betting odds, and I think that will hold true no matter how large the betting market gets because the manipulation gets more expensive as the market gets more attention.

The weaker form of your argument "Without the caps it's biased toward people who can make big bets" is the entire point of a betting market.

Edit: The one edge case where it might happen is precisely this article. Buying your way to say 5% after some organic positive press might be an effective way to buy buzz at relatively low cost. It's a small one time boost for a campaign though.
It's more complicated than that.

I can't find any good sources right now but here's some information[0] (with references to NASA and MIT). Here's one relevant bit:

> Along with sunlight, water and carbon dioxide, phytoplankton require a variety of other nutrients from the water including nitrogen, phosphorous and iron. The most important are nitrogen and phosphorous which are essential to survival and reproduction. Nitrogen is in short supply in some areas but in other areas, phosphorous is limited. Phytoplankton cannot continue to grow when one or the other has been used up.

> You can tell the search and rescue team that you’ve twisted your ankle at ringleader.kilt.comedians, but as soon as you’ve moved 3 meters east, you’re at since.duplicates.backswing, and the technologically-enhanced mnemonic crutch has exhausted its usefulness.

This represents my disappointment as well. When I initially heard of the system, I thought it was hierarchical; the first word describing some larger chunk, the second describing a chunk within that chunk, and the third describing the 10' x 10' block nested at the bottom. That would have been a fairly cool thing; you could easily go for less precision in order to represent a larger space -- your neighborhood, for instance. Instead, it just feels entirely non-intuitive for a system that seems to have been created to offer mnemonic names for spaces.

Perhaps there are technological limitations to the problem that I can't see that prevent a hierarchical solution from being possible or feasible. But I just see little value in an 'addressing' system where one cell's address is totally unrelated to the cells adjoining it.

edit: I've just found w3w's justifications for a non-hierarchical system on their site and they seem weak to me, but who knows, I'm no expert on the matter. -- https://support.what3words.com/hc/en-us/articles/207768985-W...

You need to optimize for exploration heavily, when you get low on paper clips you can adjust production, but mostly just try to colonize like crazy.
There is no way that Yang is more likely to win the nomination than Warren. And I say that as a Yang fan. So there's a lot of money on the table, but I'm not willing to tie up a couple grand for a year for a website I know pretty much nothing about.
Also, didn't we just elect another business person

One with multiple bankruptcies too!
That... sounds amateurish. Everyone just uses a hardware RNG for random number seeds.
It's only now that I use Twitter on a daily basis that I realize the problem of having a single feed for your private life, work, hobbies, etc. It just doesn't work and is one of the main reasons why I unfollow people. I think the underlying functionality of circles and collections are a must but maybe they can be implemented in a better and easier to use way.
> FFS how many different implementations of quicksort in Python can there possibly be? How would they expect you to make yours unique? Different variable names or something?

Not even different variable names, as any plagiarism detector which is halfway-competent would have to ignore them because changing variable names is one of the things any halfway-competent plagiarist would do. The arms race has gone to the point where it's impossible to detect mechanically whether an implementation of a standard algorithm has been plagiarized. It's probably impossible for a human to detect it without other context.

And that context comes down to "Has this student shown steady gains or are they suddenly handing in competent code after demonstrating complete incompetence?" which you can't know unless the class is structured such that students show what they know to the graders in person. Which requires a certain student-to-grader ratio. Which is expensive.
A non-functional border wall also pleases nobody. It’s not a great compromise at all.
I really like Buttigieg. He honestly seems to be doing this because he wants to serve America. I’m working my way through his book and I’m very impressed by his eloquence and clarity of thought. Also, I think as a mayor he embodies the entrepreneurial spirit. He was classmates with Mark Zuckerberg.

I submitted this interview the other day:

http://nymag.com/intelligencer/2019/02/a-long-talk-with-demo...

I think it’s also worth listening to an interview he did with David Axelrod a couple years ago, and his recent interview on Pod Save America. Here also are a couple videos I’m recommending because they cover a variety of topics in the Q&A portion that I haven’t heard him speak about elsewhere:

- https://www.necn.com/news/new-england/Indiana-Mayor-Pete-But...

- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nldx3r7h3Cg

I know this comment is obviously political but I think he deserves to be heard from.
Yes, we also need a worldwide ban on plastic fishing nets, and their replacement by something which biodegrades.

Pretty hard political problem though.
Yang would like to be President, but his primary goal is to force a conversation amongst all the candidates on UBI and automation, which are important things that the next President should be talking about.
As someone who teaches degree level content to apprentices, I definitely think these tools have value. I know that until very recently my current institution has not bothered with such a tool and I saw with my own eyes that quite obvious (to me) plagiarism was rampant and that the already overburdened assignment markers were not catching these instances. By moving to an automated tool, our students were immediately put on notice that such behaviour would not be acceptable.

That said, I do still hear worrying comments from my colleagues (“what number is too much?” is I’m afraid a common question) - but I can clearly see the change in student behaviour - so I don’t think this is such a bad thing. Yes, markers do still need to watch for plagiarism - and there are of course other types of plagiarism that these tools can’t usually deal with (ghost-written essays being a common talking point these days), but just because a tool may be misused or may be misunderstood, it certainly doesn’t necessarily mean it is all bad.
And you're ignoring the points I made above that don't support your argument, so it appears we've reached a conversational impasse.

That is not going to stop people from acting in reprehensible and violent ways.

It's going to make it harder for them to get the audience they desire, and harder to recruit, radicalize, and organize. Contrary to the 'lone wolf' trope, violent actors almost always have identifiable and often leaky support networks.
Ask HN: What are your favorite utility desktop apps?
I'm a big fan of small, often indie, utility apps. Some apps I really dig:

- Monodraw: https://monodraw.helftone.com/

- Postgres.app: https://postgresapp.com/

- Lungo: https://sindresorhus.com/lungo

- Duet: https://www.duetdisplay.com/

Is there some reason that much of the US you couldn't deliver food by bicycle or a small motorcycle like a Honda Super Cub?
WTF?

"captain.water.water" => ~90 minutes from Louisville, Kentucky

"captains.water.water" => island in the North Atlantic

That's crazy. I mean, "..water" should be a contiguous area. With "*.water.water" a contiguous part of it.
If the interest is artificially generated or fake, it will fade quickly for sure.

But I wouldn't say we shouldn't trust online phenomenon. Online phenomenon is why Obama and Trump got elected. Trump has effectively bypassed the traditional media's stranglehold on the american mind via his use of twitter and social media. And online phenomenon is why we have occasio-cortez.

As the internet gains more mind share, we have to start taking the online space more seriously.
"Run the government like a business" was Ross Perot's mantra. Was quite popular for a while, but didn't work out so well in the end. That's probably more because he sort of went insane during the campaign rather than due to a a reasoned choice the voters made about that philosophy.
the European Commission stating that its own policy is a success? that's not surprising at all!
As I understood these were actually bacteria that were observed to have survived being in space, as in on the external surface of satellites and shuttles, or extreme-like conditions. One problem related to detecting life on other planets is that a number of bacteria are suspected to be able to survive the whole trip to whichever planet or space object we send a probe to.

There are good paper straws out there, they're just a tiny bit more expensive.
Reasons why these kind of stuff works in China

- People prefer to stay indoors. Air pollution that reduces your lifespan exists in cities like Beijing and Hebei - even Shanghai (certain months during winter time). Extreme heatwaves during summer time that has the city cooking in 40-50C....it gets so hot that people sleep outdoors on sidewalks! (Shanghai will supposedly be unlivable in 30 years due to extreme heatwaves)

- cheap(-ish) labor, although now labor costs matches that of Mexico

- shitty food sanitary conditions, now with no storefront. Have fun figure out whether your cheap delivered food was cooked with gutter oil or not.

- questionable food ingredient quality. tons of fake stuff abounds.
It sounds like that detector didn't reveal the source that was supposedly plagiarized. Who would be dumb enough to rely on the results of such a tool? Is that a common attribute of modern detectors?
Warren isn't going to win. The party took notice of the DNA test thing, and is specifically trying to field someone who won't be baited into the mud with Trump.
...Which defeats the "simple" in 3-words pitch.

"No, I'm `heartfelt-triple-coma` from 2003, not current. Oh, you're using a Spanish-language phone; I don't know which dataset you use."
Small shareholders (less than 0.01% holdings) have essentially no voice in a corporation's policy; nor are they a consideration for the board of directors. Sometimes they are the beneficiaries of policies that are satisfying major stockholders, but not in a big way.

No, this metaphor does not work.

> By measuring the location of a few designated landmarks, it should be possible to extrapolate tectonic-level shifts to all other points on the same plate pretty accurately.

I would think you'd need a lot of targets near plate boundaries (where deformation is high for that reason) as well as in known regions of intraplate deformation.
I thought this was a wink and a nod to just using standard latitude/longitude. Doesn't lat/long naturally solve each of your bullet points?

•Length-optimized. More digits = more precision, check.

•Precision optimized. Except for adding zeros, check.

•Precision-focused. Sig figs cover this.

•Logic-optimized. Adding or subtracting to lat or long respectively.

•Spheroid-optimized. I believe this applies to latitude and longitude, as well, since there's less surface area for a given coordinate space. Though, maybe it's the reverse, that it's more precise at the poles.
They still had VSPC in 85, but had switched to CMS by 87. The punch card reader / printer ended in 85, and somewhere in a box I got a stack of cards. I took C on the VAX (they bought a AT&T 3B2 somewhere around 90 or 91), and I do vaguely remember Ada was on the VAX also.

My early hate of Lisp was a direct result of them teaching it on the VAX. I was told the VAX had 4MBytes of actual memory and the each Lisp instance took 5. I played poker in the basement of Upson II while the damn thing loaded my program and played more while it ran. Being a lover of Forth at that point, tended to make me think Lisp was a bit of a hog.

Somehow the school got a Cray (I think from a oil company), but they weren't given the manuals right away. The manuals that they printed came from microfiche I had. I'm not sure if any students ever got to use it.

UND did give a unique experience in a CompSci degree.
Michael Crichton (somewhat famously) retyped and submitted a George Orwell essay for an undergrad literature course at Harvard. Orwell got a B- and Crichton decided lit wasn't for him and ended up in anthropology/pre-med.

When a phone call is made, there are (at least) two parties responsible for what gets displayed on the callee's phone:

a) CallerID: This is the numeric part of the info displayed on the callee's phone. Is provided by the calling party, DOES NOT have anything to do with the second part. IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE NAME THAT SHOWS ON THE CALL

b) CNAM: This is the Name part that gets delivered to the callee's phone. This is essentially a reverse lookup on the CallerID part of the call IN THE CALLEE'S PROVIDER'S DATABASE

Back when (today's) AT&T ran the whole phone system, those two databases were essentially the same. Now that they aren't, hilarity ensues.
Why not all religions?
I had been following Yang since a while and have been super pumped up about his ideas and focus on real underlying issues. But with Pete joining the race, I am somewhat torn between these two. Both of them are really smart people. Yang has great ideas and vision, but Pete has real experience running a city and seems to be very likable in general. On the other hand, I am sure conservative media will paint Yang as a socialist which would take away a lot of votes, and Pete being openly gay is also going to take away a lot of conservative voters.
Unless the nominee is Harris or another woman. Then a white male would be a smart strategic move to play to middle of the country demographics, which cost the dems the 2016 election. Buttieg, as an Indianian, among other characteristics would be a perfect fit.

My hunch is part of his strategy is to make a strong showing in order to be the VP candidate for a non white male nominee.
I'm in the same position as you. I ended up answering a few questions and asking one. It took a day, or so, to get up to 64 rep which was more than enough for me.

I think it would have been more honest if it said: see the following pages rebuilt with NatUIve.
With regards to examples I can do better than showing how people use it in the same breath. Here [1, 2]
are examples of where SPLC specifically uses alt-right and white supremacy to describe the viewpoints related to Jordan Peterson, Ben Shapiro, Dave Rubin etc in the same article.

I've also shown that even the authoritarian sources Facebook trusts use alt-right and white supremacist in the same breath when defining the terms. These articles are no accident, this is what they believe.

This is not fear mongering. This is people that don't mind using their power to accuse viewpoint opponents for things they didn't do and with no evidence claiming they hold reprehensible viewpoints.

Edit: can't reply due to message depth limit, but the debate here is about facebook suppressing people like Jordan Peterson, Ben Shapiro, Dave Rubin using arguments made by SPLC and ADL such as the one in [1,2]. Why do they have the right to suppress other peoples viewpoints on dubious grounds with no recourse?

It is pretty clear from your arguments that you agree that they are related or as you say "a white nationalist recruiting tool" regardless of how you otherwise view them. The process facebook institute will therefore suppress these viewpoints based upon no evidence and by subjectively mischaracterizing their viewpoints, with no recourse for this power abuse.

Kind of evolution in clothing? Do we dress better and more comfortable now?
> Like it or not, we need politicians who can work across the aisle and actually get things done.

To work with someone across the aisle you have to have someone on the other side of the aisle who wants to work with you. The republicans have made it absolutely clear over the past decade that they will not work with Democrats. Centrist Democrats need work with their colleagues to their left if they want to accomplish anything.
"elect a business person so they can run government like a business"

This is a terrible idea for a society. Typical businesses are internally dictatorships that are single-minded, intolerant of dissent, very controlling (my employer reads my E-mails and lately they are setting up a ton of cameras) and are designed to funnel rewards to only few people. That's not a good mindset to run a whole country. We can't just lay off people to cut costs.

I think that's why Trump seems to get better along with dictators like Erdogan, Putin or Kim Jong Un than with democratic leaders. their leadership is much closer to what he is used from his business.

Running government more efficiently would be nice but I don't see the ex-business people who got elected into government do better than other politicians.
Somebody is paying, and even if you're not paying out of pocket it definitely matters how much the government is paying and economizing, because they have to stretch your tax dollar/pound too.
> For better or worse, it's highly unlikely that the choice for running mate will be a white male.

It's maybe unlikely the whole ticket will be, but there's also a good chance that the top of the ticket will be either non-white, non-male, or both.

Here is a debate between the author of The China Study and another scientist in the field who disagrees with his findings:

http://www.catalystathletics.com/articles/downloads/proteinD...
(I have no idea why Campbell chose not to cite any sources.)

and here is a simplified take by the excellent skeptic Harriet Hall:

https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/385/

As Hall notes:

>He criticizes conventional recommendations for a diet with 45-65% of calories from carbohydrates, 20-35% from fat and 10-35% from protein, showing how the following menu satisfies those requirements:

>[example of an obviously unhealthy diet]

>But that’s a bit of a straw man argument. In reality, most current nutritional advice makes very much the same recommendations Campbell does except for his strict prohibition of animal protein. For instance, for cancer prevention the American Cancer Society recommends (http://www.cancer.org/docroot/MED/content/MED_2_1X_American_...) a diet high in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes and low in red meat and alcohol, along with regular exercise and weight control.

In these (and other) debates, Campbell repeatedly shows, IMO, an unwillingness to take his critics seriously, instead always resorting to the broadside of "reductionist!". At first he seems to have a point, but when you read more of his responses to more people, you just find yourself hearing "reductionist! reductionist! reductionist!". This is particularly concerning since all atomistic theories (i.e. physicalist theories, i.e. the modern scientific view of reality) are ultimately reductionist in some way. Furthermore, his attack on the standard recommendations is extremely reductionist, as seen above (and a similar diet can easily be constructed with less protein and no animal foods!). I'm particularly glad to link the critique from Science-Based Medicine as they're equally critical (if not more) of the paleo milieu.
I don't understand how your post squares with what happened in reality.
I've seen that before, but the demos actually looked like the sites they were meant to represent, a la recreations, and not just similar to them. Also, I guess 35 demos is technically dozens, but I might have described the quantity a bit differently. Really, that whole site just looks and acts odd to me.
Probably need drone delivery for it to work in the US. So we might have to wait for a world where houses come with drone dumbwaiters disguised as chimneys.
Homeless sanitation is not independently sufficient justification to support heaps of littered disposable plastic bags everywhere.

There are many other possible ways to address this problem.
Why does this link directly to the article comments?
I agree. I don't want to see people 70+ as president. Being in my 50s I already notice that my physical energy is less than it used to be and I am pretty sure it will be worse once you are 70.
When invoked by laypersons, it usually means "don't run a deficit at all, and cut 'useless' (to me, so far as I know) programs". Arts funding and foreign aid are popular first candidates for the chopping block.

I don't know what it means when politicians say it, aside from being an appeal to the above. Possibly they mean the same thing.

[EDIT] incidentally, it's almost entirely associated with the Right. Unusual to see it brought up as a point in favor of a Democrat.

[EDIT EDIT] awinder probably nailed what it means when politicians say it, and/or why it's an idea some of them have promoted.

Right track here.

Specific cutoff age? I'd say not. But I would think that we should require of candidates a full independent medical workup from an independent practice, such as [1]. The kind of nonsense reports we get from the doctor selected by the person currently occupying the PResident's chair are clearly farcical.

(Of course, also beyond the bare constitutional requirements and the independent med workup, should be added: 2) minimal prior service as an elected official, 3) pass a standard HS Science & Technology test, 4) pass the INS Citizenship exam, 5) release a decade of tax returns, and perhaps a few other requirements that inform the citizenry of who is seeking the job... but what do I know, I'm just one of 300MM on the hiring committee)
