Honestly I think your list highlights why I get so frustrated when people equate the parties, because there are so obvious, provable distinctions it the items you list:

1. "government stop spying on US citizens, more protections for digital privacy and free speech" - OK, this one I'll give to you, I don't see significant differences between the mainstream parties on this one. But I'd argue that is because this issue is actually so low (sadly, IMO) on the vast majority of Americans' concerns.

2. "reduced military spending" - If you honestly think the parties are equal when it comes to their enthusiasm for military spending, you are not paying attention. As one example, the whole reason for the 2013 budget sequestration rules were that they included large cuts for military (which Democrats wanted) and social programs (which Republicans wanted) which both sides thought would force them to compromise - the fact that ALL cuts went through when they couldn't reach an agreement just highlights which programs were important to which parties.

3. "an increasingly militarized police force and privatized judicial system" - again, this is an issue that Democrats are much more on your side than the average Republican, mainly because urban minorities, which tend to vote Democrat, are the group most negatively affected by these policies.

4. "policies designed to protect the American middle class against increasing globalization" - while I tend to agree with the main gist of this argument, especially in that both parties have enthusiastically supported many free trade deals, Republicans have shown much more antipathy to unions, both in the past and currently.

The fact that you say "It's hard to draw a meaningful distinction between parties on any of these policies" is just baffling to me.
He not an inventor sure, cause he's a kid, nothing to see there.

But he has commitment and looks like at least average intelligence.

Worry about the kids who are really bright and who should go to uni who the world misses out on. Then worry about hard workers like this kid.

Would you also support deplatforming Sen. Sanders as well then? It was his supporter who went on a shooting spree, and I don't think he was a big fan of Jones or Milo.
Huh. Positive and negative are sort of notorious in medical tests for creating a confusion: positive is often bad!

There are actually three dichotomies here: was the test mistaken, what was its boolean value, and which boolean value means which thing in the world. Saying yes/no still requires a decision about the latter; though it seems clearer to me about this (both the need for interpretation and on suggesting a default), but it is subjective. And of course, any of these are better than Type I/II.

I do kind of insist that right/wrong or correct/mistaken clearly means the first question, where true/false is more ambiguous. To really resolve things maybe a better idea is like wrong/present and right/absent.
I'm the source because I experienced this firsthand in 2007. I found the article because I needed to validate an almost 12 year old memory. :)

As for the quote you picked out, it's a partial truth.

The partial truth is that sure, the domain was "available to register"...at a multiple of the standard price. I don't remember what the multiple was. And if you wanted to purchase through another registrar you couldn't because NetSol held the domain.

This all resulted in a class action lawsuit:
https://techcrunch.com/2008/02/25/network-solutions-icann-su...

That was settled a year later:
https://domainnamewire.com/2009/04/29/network-solutions-sett...

Edit: I removed where I said the part about the domain being released after four days was a lie. I remember it being much much longer but at the same time, I don't remember all the details well enough to make a statement of that potency.

Wolfram might be a genius, but I personally find his writing and lectures extremely dull. The only thing he seems to write is how everything is "computational", and how we need to embrace his idea that computing is what the whole universe is about. For example in this blog post alone, we can find this following word count:

computer - 19x
computation* - 96x
computational - 63x

Make everything computational!

computational intelligence - 2x
computational contracts - 7x
computational universe - 7x
computational language - 18x
computational thinking - 2x
computational fact - 1x
computational acts - 1x
computational equivalence - 8x
computational irreducibility - 6x
computational system - 1x
computational process - 1x
computational work - 1x
computational essays - 2x
computational law - 1x

Throwing all these words around may sound smart but they lose any meaning or relevance that they were supposed to deliver if being overused in such a larger-than-life manner.

PDF has extremely developed vector graphics support as well as adequate compressed image support (e.g. you can compress using a bunch of methods as good as what DJVU uses for your purpose, including PNG and JPEG2000.)

AFAIK DJVU is a much simpler format primarily for scanned images, not vector graphics (which includes LaTeX-generated documents, mind you.) Could anyone with more knowledge about DJVU comment?
It really makes me wish that the older Chapters banner wasn't being retired. Same company but when you went to a Chapters you knew it was just going to be books and a smattering of other media.

Healthcare simply does not line up with the incentive structure of the free market.

People can't opt-out if they're getting a bad deal.

Risk outliers get turned down as bad business decisions, or the drugs they need to stay alive are impossible to afford because of "low" demand.

It's left up to employers to choose the product that's best for their employees (and ensure that market competition functions), but that assumes they actually care about their employees' well-being, which most don't.

Denying care to the unemployed is a strong force deepening the poverty cycle, preventing people from working their way back up to being productive members of society.

Healthcare doesn't even really fit the model of insurance, because it isn't just a guard against unlikely catastrophe, it's an ongoing, chronic, inevitable cost of being a human being.
There was no net transfer of money from NetSol to the registry for those domains, except when a customer would accept the offer for the domain.

They registered the name, and just before the 5-day ICANN Add Grace Period would end, they reversed the registration and received full credit for the registration fee.

At that time the domain would immediately become available for registration again through any registrar with no grace/redemption/deletion periods.
You're an employee so you can answer the question: does Formidable take copyright ownership of the open source contributions provided by you? Do you have to ask your employer if you want to change licenses for your open source projects?
It can be. That comment was.
Well, I spent a number of years writing drivers for PC systems. Some years the I/O chips were faster than CPU, and some years the CPU was faster than I/O chips. DMA was usually slower, just because release cycles for CPUs tended to be faster than release cycles for I/O controllers. Eventually, most driver writers decided that it was usually better to use CPU, even if the I/O controller was faster. That way, when the CPU got upgraded, you would automatically get a speed boost. While programming an I/O controller was both more arcane and more more likely to require a complete reimplementation in a couple of years (as well as customer complaints and market share losses.)

I'm not saying that things are the same today - but it kind of sounds to me like they are. Back in the days, people were always claiming that we should switch to the newest and fastest I/O controller since CPUs were more general purpose and would therefore always be slower. It just didn't work out that way in practice.
> S 1129 contains the clause that every true single-payer bill contains – a clause stating that on a certain date after the bill becomes law insurance companies may not sell policies that duplicate the coverage of the Medicare For All program.

I'm a single payer noob. Can someone explain to me why such a clause is necessary? If people are already paying for health care coverage from a federal system through taxes, why would they pay more to purchase a plan that duplicates that coverage from a private insurer? And if nobody is paying for that duplicate coverage, why is it necessary to outlaw it (rather than just letting insurance companies decide it doesn't make sense to sell it anymore)?

It makes me suspicious that they need to outlaw something that would appear to be unnecessary under the rest of the system they're creating. It makes me think the outlawed coverage might actually be useful for some reason, in which case it would be a bummer for it to be outlawed.
>Being free from public transport timetables and the ability to go anywhere on a whim are so precious.

You can't do that with cars though at any time. Because there is traffic and parking spaces to deal with.

Unless you're only going to big super markets like Target or a shopping center and you've never encountered this problem, you really can't go anywhere cool while driving. Please don't mention something like taking your car to a national park or something. That's what car rentals are for.
The “Entrepreneur Effect” Advantage
I was taking a look at H2O.ai's autoML dashboard yesterday, which they call Driverless AI. Broader in scope, includes an interpretability feature, and seems a little less white box-ey than what I could see from MS. Plus, great looks. Haven't tried it first-hand, but I did take a mental note.

Right. And therein lies the rub. The US is quite possibly one of the worst in the world for "Fuck you I got mine" (until you don't got yours). And then there's the cognitive dissonance of people who might have otherwise screamed about "socialized medicine" who find themselves on the unlucky end of a diagnosis and are singing a different tune (or sometimes still singing the same tune, even as they put up a GoFundMe...).

How many other countries in the world consider medical bankruptcy a thing to be accepted and tolerated?

Nice. Microsoft has been doing some great work the last couple of years with ML - especially for beginners its great to get started with their tooling. I always like their UI and workflow parts in Azure ML.

I still use their free Jupyter Notebooks service also.
You can get an individual 401K or IRA and make all your own choices. If you're talking about an employer matched 401K, I don't think it's unreasonable at all for them to select it.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-28983924. It’s not odd at all. It’s a basic thing that makes the UK’s health system work. US insurers (in the past) would piss away a half a million or a million on uncertain treatments. (And then the family would go out of pocket, go broke, and there would be an article on medical bankruptcies.) The UK doesn’t do that. Instead, it’s very aggressive about justifying costs with expected outcomes.

The new topic sounds more like watching a TV channel (and existing "channels" are like individual TV shows?)

If topics were like radio stations for videos or music (i.e. genre based topics), I would use that.

I generally use YouTube as a reference book, where I look up some information. The exception is music, where I treat it more like a radio station.

Lived in Houston most of my life, and in places with public transit (good and bad) other parts.

My perspective: sprawl fucking sucks. That's what this is about - not just driving, but what a city built on driving leads to: sprawl. 45 minute commutes to college from Clear Lake while I'm doing nothing but kinda listening to an audiobook or something. So demotivating. Not really being able to hang with my classmates after school cause I can leave at 4 and get home in 45 minutes or 6/7 and get home in 1.5-2 hours.... or just wait until 9, 10, which fucks me cause the next morning I need to be on the road at 6:30 sharp if I want a "reasonable" 45 minute commute. Oh, and when I turn up to school, better leave 20 minutes to an hour to find parking. That's not hyperbole, parking was that bad at University of Houston.

Compared to the train I used to take to Mountain View - my "worst" commute from my time in the bay area. Still a "long" trip, but I'm sitting on a train reading, playing a video game, or sleeping. Traffic is not a consideration. I can go in rush hour or whenever, I'll still get there at the same time. I get off the train and bicycle to the office, leave my bike downstairs and that's it. No idling in the parking lot shitting out CO, waiting for someone to walk into the parking lot so I can offer them an AC ride to their spot in return for the ability to park in it when they leave.

Growing up in that sprawl was painful. Our suburbs were spread out not too bad, but enough to suck hard. One of my best friends was a good 3 miles away in a different suburb (so I had to go the long way round to actually get to an entrance. Sometime's I'd toss my bike over the 10 foot sound barrier thing and try to scale it but stopped after spraining an ankle). Bicycling there would take 20 minutes if there were bike lanes, but there weren't, there were "sidewalks" with giant roots pushing the concrete up that were too big to hop on the bike, or there'd be massive puddles in the dips or dirt and sand ready to slip me up, so I was on/off/on/off the bike, waiting 5 minutes at an intersection for a walk signal and still keeping my head on a swivel because nobody expects someone to actually walk in the burbs. So, it'd take me like 50 minutes to get to my friend's house. If it wasn't so hard, I think I would have hung outside more with my friends, and played less videogames. I distinctly remember chatting in WoW about how we'd consider hanging out, and then say "nah don't wanna bike an hour" and just play more WoW.

Then when you finally do get a car, it's not that much better. First spend 45 minutes driving a pentagram across the suburbs picking everyone up, then drive another 45 to get to the city or wherever. It just sucked!

So, I don't know about cost, I don't have the math for it, but it was terrible, terrible, TERRIBLE and I hated it growing up. The convenience of living in a mildly walkable city like SF with even the mediocre (from int'l standards) public transit they have here is to me leagues better than the bullshit I put up with in Houston. And then you go to a city like Taipei and see what this world is capable of creating... it's a dream.

>The typical pattern is younger people living in the city and moving to the suburbs as they get older and have kids.

How long has this been the typical pattern? Auto-oriented suburbs are an experiment two generations in the making. Before that development, there was a sharper urban-rural divide. I would not be surprised to see the US largely swing back to that arrangement within the next 60 years.

> No longer allowed to deny based on pre-existing conditions? Insurers need higher rates to cover those costs.

Is there any alternative though? We're going to pay those costs one way or another: either the government pays for all the unprofitable patients' healthcare (the wet dream of health insurers), or we tell those people to go fuck themselves.
One of the easiest ways in which you can live longer, is by simply managing your current time better. For example, try living near everything that you might need, in an area with no pollution. Hard to find for a good price!
It’s tempting to think that we can operate politics without emotion. However, it is unclear what the foundations of our political beliefs are if not intuitive reactions of the sort that emotions are as well. For example, most people who oppose torture oppose it because they have an intuition that it is unacceptable and value that intuition. We can construct “objective” methods to derive political claims from other claims, but ultimately they involve a value judgement—politics without value judgement has no way to decide between competing objectives. “Reason” does not provide a coherent morality, as the failure of the Enlightenment project shows; “emotion” is quite capable of justifying a centrist view—I should imagine most have negative emotional reactions to the Leninist and Hitlerite states. I imagine that one reason for the decline of the liberal order is its abandonment of emotional claims and pretence to objectivity as if that were possible. Those who continue to use emotion, to appeal to our intuitions as to what is right, instead of simply referring to empirical concepts whose connexion to such intuitions is severely dulled, appear to have the most success; unfortunately they do not seem to be particularly constructive at the moment. Anger and fear are not entirely unreasonable as emotions go: we fear and are angered by the spectres of poverty and dictatorship, and those are not unreasonable positions to hold.

Attacks on morality and value judgements in politics often take the form of, to take an example, Sir Humphrey’s utterances in Yes Minister. Government, in his view, is about order, and the prevention of chaos. Hacker, the minister, suggests that it is about doing good. Why is Sir Humphrey so scared of chaos? His fear thereof is the same sort of fear that drives morality; we might even call it a moral belief. It is not an implausible belief—chaos has its problems. Most of the time what seems “objective” is no longer on demanding a further reason. “Lowered emotions” should not really be the end; a sensible method of dealing with competing emotions is the need of the hour.
Running AKS from even late 2018 is completely different than running it now. They have been making strides in provisioning and it is more than stable enough to run AKS clusters in production. Provisioning an AKS cluster in Nov 2018 would sometimes take up to 45minutes/1hour or end up in an error'd state. By the time Kubecon rolled around (a month later, Dec 2018) AKS clusters were taking between 4~6 minutes to provision on average. Compared to EKS, it is definitely a more automated way of provisioning a K8s cluster (workers provisioned for you) and definitely takes less time to provision (EKS takes roughly 12~15min).
