I've always thought Nietzsche was the only funny (hilarious more than strange) modern philosopher. Compared to dullards like Kierkegaard, he's a barrel of laughs. I also think he's also the perfect example of the old saw "all modern philosophy is a footnote to Plato and Aristotle."

One of my professors gave a very learned exposition of Nietzsche as the philosophical forbear of Nazism. It was pretty convincing, frankly, and I still think of Nietzsche as fundamentally evil. Funny, but evil. The exposition took days of his lecture time, so I won't try to recreate it here, but lightly dismissing that charge by laying it all at the feet of his sister is a mistake. The playful disassembling of Western philosophy that Nietzsche indulged in had real consequences in the actions of those who studied his works.

It never was that easy (hang on, were there BIOS functions for that?). Anything that requires drilling down to draw a dot is too slow anyway. Obviously blitting an offscreen bitmap just leaves you the problem of dealing with pitch.

It was even more exciting dealing with rendering high resolution images with only a single line of bitmap. #thegoodolddays
Based on what I know about American consumer spending habits, people basically spend whenever they can (which is why consumer debt is so high).

It's when they "physically" can't spend that it starts to slow down (slowing income, access to credit).
If that is truly your goal, it is a noble one, but in that case baking the pathfinding into the roads seems like a bad design choice. People get lost driving in a convoluted city a lot even with GPS, but much less so in a regular blocked city.
My mom is a professor, all of her DVDs are low-distribution educational and historical documentaries that she can use in her classroom. Most are not available anywhere else.
Maybe I'll write a book about Improbable some day - but more likely about the mythical origin story :) That said, at two different times I managed teams that made demos, tutorials and documentation, most recently https://twitter.com/gabrielgambetta/status/92135876311796121..., but there's people much more qualified than I am to write technical stuff about SpatialOS nowadays.

In fact, what most people would consider "a bad education" in some cases might even be the parents' reason for putting their kids in such a school to begin with. Like, they'd really rather homeschool them for religious or tribal indoctrination reasons, but for whatever reason they can't, so a charter school might be the next best thing to them.
"Most of the important battles in consumer tech have been fought and won"

Not sure savings on those fixed costs are as impossible as you make them out to be, rather they may take substantially more effort than the "skip a coffee" line.

Housing -- do more with less. How many people buy houses (or cars) beyond their means or bigger in size than needed?

Health -- daily movement is a life long commitment (as is finding time for sleep) and has outsized long term health benefits. No this doesn't address the "hit by a bus" scenario, but in terms of some of the most prevalent chronic health conditions it's amazing ROI.

Education -- while there is an undeniable tyranny of geographical circumstances, being able to evaluate using community colleges for prereqs, considering alternatives like trade schools, and taking into account expected lifetime earnings for career path all can play into this fixed expense.
There is a large amount of evidence that shows that homeopathy isn't effective. As far as evidence goes, there is more evidence pointing that FP leads to correctness than otherwise, although none of it is conclusive.
This sounds beyond painful. We have similar problems at work with expensive system that I believe we could reimplement with traditional technology, but we don't.
The question was not whether you believe that, but whether that is rational.
There's a principal-agent problem with all parenting: you're making decisions on behalf of another human being and hoping that those decisions line up with the best interests and wishes of the person in question.

Obviously this isn't always the case, but both common sense and Western legal traditions assume that the parent's interests will be most closely aligned with their child, and that they're better suited to make those decisions than a bureaucrat, a CEO, or even a teacher. Societies that assume the state is better qualified to make decisions on behalf of children than the parents are have gone to dark places.
Sectors are 512, 4096, or another power of 2 because of a combination of 8 bit characters (the lowest addressable unit of storage) and powers of 2 being more natural to fully address when working on a binary based processing/addressing model.

It isn't completely disingenuous to talk about intra-systems communication in terms of 'million bits' (engineering mega, not binary 'mega', bits) but it is obtuse and full of marketing spin.

What crime? The charges were for a civil violation of state consumer protection law, which restricted the behavior of the motel, not ICE.

Even if ICE officials, in the federally-lawful conduct of their duties could be subject to state law, I don't see any indication that they did anything that would have broken the law at issue, which prohibits the disclosure, not the request.

> There is a large amount of evidence that shows that homeopathy isn't effective.

That's not quite how evidence for the existence of effects works. Evidence for lack of an effect is the attempt, and subsequent failure, to find it.

Few studies have been able to substantiate the hypothesis that homeopathy is very effective, just like the case for FP. It's just that there have been far fewer studies overall testing the second hypothesis than the first. So while we can be more confident that, indeed, homeopathy isn't effective than in the case of FP, there is still no weight to the claim that FP is effective when it comes to correctness.

> there is more evidence pointing that FP leads to correctness than otherwise

There isn't.

It's perfectly OK that people write about how much they like FP or OOP because the paradigm fits well with how they think, they like its aesthetics, or any similar reasons. It's not OK to try and justify the preference by making up completely unsupported empirical claims.

And by the way, even when there is no evidence one way or the other, you still cannot claim there is an effect.
I'm not sure there's actually a widening political divide. I believe what we're witnessing is an increasing silence from the center. The fringes are constantly outraged, inconsolable, and unreasonable in their knee-jerk attacks in every direction. One can no longer lean in a particular direction. One must now fall headlong into passionate ruin or go home if they merely wish to reason, consider, and discuss.

“Uniformly distributing inconvenience” is exactly the wrong fix for bad meeting times and it shows a profound insensitivity to employees. Work-life balance is important. If you are creating so many inconveniences that you think you need to fairly “distribute” them, then you desperately need to figure out how to eliminate all these inconveniences.

Distribute responsibility to the point where generally each region can be self-sufficient for its assigned tasks. If you are having meetings multiple times per week across time zones, something is wrong. Sync-ups across sites are not completely out of the ordinary but they should be rare. And most crucially, when they occur, fully expect and encourage those involved to leave early the next day or come in late some time that week, i.e. they get that time with their family back, it is not simply sacrificed on the altar for the benefit of company investors.

It's useful to be able to write code that runs on your server, and in the browser, and in an "edge" thingy too (for some definition of "edge"). x86 binaries aren't going to be able to do that.
You are not wrong, this is in part good old fashioned moral panic. It's more than that though...

Old media likes to attack "screens" because they are an existential threat to their business model and monopoly on narrative creation. They certainly are using the "think of the children" angle but the reason they're attacking the medium and not the message is because the medium itself levels the playing field and takes the power from their hands.

> Instead of trying to further complicate those laws to outlaw a few arcane tax strategies (likely in vain; more complexity likely leads to more arcane loopholes) we should be simplifying our laws.

The issue is that the complexity of the tax laws are a feature, not a bug. Each of those subsidies, exceptions, tweaks, hiccups, and exemptions is a payout to the members of the winning coalition in our electoral system. “Simple” tax laws would indicate an unresponsiveness by the government to the interests of the governed, by virtue of the fact that the governed have complex interests. Analyses that start and stop at “simple or complex” are thus doomed to be fruitless.

Any job that needs to be done once a month at least, or more often than that, should be organised into a script.

Any job that is too complex to rely on the user's memory, should be organised into a script.

Examples: all cron jobs, all daily jobs like backups and rsyncing file-storage. (Mind you, there's a lot of overlap in those two categories.)

Other examples:

rebuilding a new system by automating the selection and installation of wanted packages instead of doing that by hand;

mounting specific filesystems from a variety of places like other hosts on the internet, or specific storage devices, at prespecified mountpoints;

fixing problems that crop up periodically in the system;

converting a whole bunch of media files from one format to another, especially where there are zillions of options for that conversion software;

etc, etc, etc,

Think of scripts as a way to 'set and forget', or a way to save you the trouble of working out how to fix a problem more than once, or a way to improve your cron jobs.

(did you know you can improve many cron jobs by the mere expedient of setting the cron-job environment variables? Then you can use the exact same script as a normal CLI script or as a cron job with the script knowing how it was launched and behaving differently to suit.)

I would much rather educate the population on their rights and teach people to be skeptical of all requests from strangers, even when those strangers have a badge or a uniform. A world where “a government agent requested it so I complied” is a sufficient excuse for misbehaving seems ripe for abuse.
> What are called "miracles" are simply disruptions of natural progression by influence of something outside of or above nature.

How do you know that is a thing?

Claiming something to be true only because it has not been disproven is a fallacy known as shifting the burden of proof. Believing something based on a fallacy is not rational.
> Also you need applicatives, which is just a way to box things. i.e turning a Int into a List<Int>.

Applicative functions do have that property, but their key attribute is the ability to two things together, e.g. turning a List<Int> and a List<Double> into a List<Pair<Int,Double>>. A functor which also has the ability to put arbitrary things into the functor context, but not the ability to combine two contexts, is sometimes referred to as a pointed functor. (There is no official Haskell typeclass for pointed functors; the main reason, besides historical baggage, is that non-applicative pointed functors don't have any real laws aside from the ones which apply to functors.)

Applicatives are sufficient for sequencing effects but the List<Double> in the previous example can't depend on the Int values in the List<Int>. This is great for static analysis of effects but it limits the kinds of programs you can write to those whose effects are known in advance. A monad lifts this restriction and allows effects (not just values) to be computed dynamically from the values of prior effects.

Finite[1] applicative parsers can only parse context-free languages. Monadic parsers, on the other hand, can handle context-sensitive languages (without resorting to an infinite set of production rules).

I signed up for membership at the local library a long time ago, for a small anual fee (around 10 EUR). They have tons of Blurays and old DVDs (TV series, blockbusters, international classics and art house movies). Once a month, I go there after work and take home interesting stuff (you can only rent 5 DVD + Blurays at once). I installed a Bluray/DVD drive in an old desktop PC and installed the Automatic Ripping Machine [0] on it. So at home, I just boot the machine, insert the rented DVD / Bluray, and ~12 hours later, the movie is copied to my local RAID and I receive an email that the ripping has finished.

I can then watch the movie anytime I want via kodi in the living room. If I really want to watch some movie / series that is not owned by the library, I fill out an online form with a suggestion that the library buys the movie / series. It takes some time, of course, but they usually follow the suggestions.

Always wondered who bought DVDs these days and then quickly learned about one group. Truckers. These people are on the move and have a portable DVD player. After the whole days driving they want to sleep watching some movie.

it's 20% reduction in the rate.

as in, 2014 percentage of population in poverty was 11.3%, 2017 percentage of population in poverty was 9.5%

hence a 15.9% decrease in the percentage of population in poverty.

I am also surprised it's not quite a bit higher.

There are many, many parts of the USA where the 'high speed' internet service is somewhere between 1mbps to 3mbps maximum, or slower, assuming there's any broadband at all.

Internet speeds plummet when you're in most rural areas, often even semi-rural smaller towns that are 30-45 minutes outside of major cities have comically slow internet.
The problem with this article's accounting of the Fed, is that it's missing 4.5T in quantitative easing assets that were injected into banks, in crisis, outside the conventional theory of Fed management.

The other contribution is that fractional reserve lending itself also creates inflationary currency. There is some 22T (IIRC) of private loans. I think the real objection to applying MMT more fundamentally is fear that allowing public programs to focus on good return on investment expenditures without worrying as much about cashflow against direct tax receipts, it takes out "capacity" for private lending to select it's desired investments.

> Life of creator seems reasonable to me

Why? If the creator actually makes things that people want, you should incentivise them to make more things. Giving them lifetime copyright disincentivises that. A limited (say 5-, 10-year) copyright allows them to profit from successes, but prevents them from resting on their laurels from a single success - not because they do or don't 'deserve' to, but because we want them to create more things during their lifetime.

I don't think this is really related to the proliferation of internet connected technology, or even technology in general. People have always been using bad sources of information to justify false beliefs.

Before Facebook, people cited the crap they read in tabloid magazines.

Before that people cited untested (or poorly tested) theories like phrenology.

Before that people cited philosophers like Aristotle who claimed that all matter could be infinitely subdivided.

And before that people cited whatever their local priest or shaman told them.

Information may have less regulation but it's erroneous to assume, as this excerpt seems to be doing, that regulation of information makes for better information. There is no shortage of instances in which those in charge of regulating information degraded the quality of information, often to suit their own interest. I'm still willing to defend the claim that in aggregate freer flow and production of information improves the average person's understanding of the world .

Do we really think that people living in regimes with more tightly regulated flows of information have better understanding of the universe than people with freer access to information?

Do we really think that people with lesser access to technology have better understanding of the world than those that have no internet access?
