> Throughout World War II, the American media published and broadcast timely, detailed, and accurate accounts of what was happening to the Jews in Europe. The New York Times alone printed nearly 1,200 articles about what we have now come to call the Holocaust, about one every other day.

> The articles in the Times and elsewhere described the propagation of anti-Semitic laws in German allied countries; death from disease and starvation of hundreds of thousands in ghettos and labor camps; mass executions in Nazi-occupied Russia; and mass gassings in Auschwitz, Treblinka, and Maidanek. The articles also indicated that these were not isolated incidents, but part of a systematic campaign to kill all the Jews in Europe.

> And yet, at the end of the war and for decades afterward, Americans claimed they did not know about the Holocaust as it was happening. How was it possible for so much information to be available in the mass media and yet simultaneously for the public to be ignorant?

> The reason is that the American media in general and the New York Times in particular never treated the Holocaust as an important news story. From the start of the war in Europe to its end nearly six years later, the story of the Holocaust made the Times front page only 26 times out of 24,000 front-page stories, and most of those stories referred to the victims as “refugees” or “persecuted minorities.” In only six of those stories were Jews identified on page one as the primary victims.
Lol I was in the same boat. House is new construction, GE appliances... I took down the microwave and replaced it with the Fotile hood. The microwave (its huge...) sits on my counter.

Needed to do minor custom wood work to mount and make it look nice, but it's doable. My dad was a carpenter so it was easy to get done.
The crappy student apartments where I went to school housed upper-class families in their day (before suburbanization). It happens. Deteriorated grandeur has a certain charm.

More to the point, there are plenty of homes that were affordable and in disrepair not long ago, that are now going for $1M+ in exactly the same physical shape. San Francisco’s problem is definitely not that its housing stock is too nice.

Use some kind of encoding? Maybe a type of Punycode?
I’m probably wrong, but didn’t the Symbolics LISP machines have some kind of hardware support for GC?

I think for platforms like Android this makes a lot of sense. Should help quite a bit with battery consumption and responsiveness. Also makes sense for server loads in Java or Go.
Roads are expensive and it makes sense to fund them partly at least proportional to use.

TBH, though, I'm not sure that would really help that much over time. It's clear there are real benefits for having bucket names in subdomains, such that the majority of new users would pick that format in any case. In that situation, governments may end up just blocking s3.amazon.com in any case because "only old bad guys" continue to use it.
How many of those products that you mentioned that are free are backed and for all intents and purposes controlled by commercial backers? Would the community maintain any of them to a re

Unless the developer has enough foresight to account for, and sufficiently handle, every single instance where that brick wall would stop a legitimate false positive, I stand vehemently against them.

There are enough examples in the past that clearly demonstrate that developers are not benevolent or competent enough to have complete and final control over the software their users run. Sometimes this control even results in the exact opposite of what the developers originally intended, as was the case with firefox addons just a couple of days ago.

Ultimate control over software should always reside in the hands of the user.
> as a pro user, I do appreciate the ability to override software when it mistakenly tries to prevent me from doing something.

This is really the core problem in security; the world is designed for people like this by people like this, without any serious thought for the implications for the overwhelming majority of users. Do not include "I know what I'm doing" escape hatches, and security will magically get better for the many at the expense of convenience for the few.
When you have intelligent coworkers that say things like "Most black people in town are drug dealers, so if I see a black person I'm going to assume they're a drug dealer", or "Sexism wasn't a problem in Europe until North America invented it as an issue", and the other Europeans agree and the other North Americans don't, and when this type of thing happens over and over in many circumstances, I come to the conclusion that it's not me.

Before you wonder if it's just my coworkers and company.

* Person I'm buying a car from 2 hours from my city telling me "It's a good thing you're buying a car from me and not one of them black boys, they rip you off"
* Landlord I'm viewing an apartment for saying "I would prefer to rent to a white renter. We have a lot of indians that try to rent and they smell"

These kinds of things happened way more in 4 years in Europe than in 20 years in Canada.
Indeed, also gas and registration.
Your story reminds me of something that happened to me in high-school. I registered for a challenge english class. I lasted about two weeks because of a strange grading policy the teacher chose. If you didn't turn in ANY assignment, regardless how few points it was worth, your grade in the class would be set at a hard F. If you wanted to pass, you had to turn in assignments late. She'd give you a zero for the late assignment, but your grade would be allowed to calculate.

I found this policy led to her doing ridiculous nonsense, like having extremely long essays be worth 3 points. and then a three question quiz worth 40 points. Her whole setup just struck me as bizarre and kafkaesque. So, I went to my guidance councilor and changed classes.

Less than a week later she tells her remaining students that she had a dream that I was shooting students and teachers from a tree with a sniper rifle. Some friends I still had in the class relayed this to me and it rattled me a bit. I asked around to a few other teachers / administrators about it and got shrugs.

Same same but different I guess.

..I have a lot of stories about teachers.
You left out the first part of that sentence, which reads: “Fascism (/ˈfæʃɪzəm/) is a form of radical, right-wing, authoritarian ultranationalism...”
Yes, I most certainly do. Ukip's belief system is pretty fundamentally palingenetic ultranationalism at its core. (As is "Make America Great Again [By Making Sure White People Win]".)

EDIT: but, gosh, I sure can't help but notice the first part of the sentence you cherry-picked: "Fascism (/ˈfæʃɪzəm/) is a form of radical, right-wing, authoritarian ultranationalism" - can you tell me why you tried to play dirty pool about that?

EDIT 2: ha, sibling poster got there too. Nice, dude.
I had one. Horribly slow, and the keyboard was terrible and near unusable. Sold it to a coworker a couple of weeks later.
I believe you, but please don't post in that way, since it only takes the thread further in the direction we don't want to go.
In my mind, the obvious solution is to require land owners be permanent residents of the country in which they are buying, and restrict the total properties owned by a specific entity. Do not allow foreign controlled corporations to purchase residential property.
I came here to say exactly this. I'm in Toronto Canada and just renovated a duplex, i was required to install ERV's to exchange the air. VOC's from off-gassing is unavoidable with present building materials, so the best we can do is replace the air as often as possible to minimize the impact. They're not expensive, and the impact to air quality is massive.
I made it up. Originally I wrote "magic pejorative" but that's more abstract.
That's exactly the problem with being dogmatic about OO --- even the page you linked to mentions it:

Although the LoD increases the adaptiveness of a software system, it may result in having to write many wrapper methods to propagate calls to components; in some cases, this can add noticeable time and space overhead

Suppose foo() inside class X needs an extra parameter or similar, but that parameter actually needs to come from A which contains an instance of B which contains a C which contains a ... ... which contains the X. Instead of changing only foo() and the b.c....foo() in A, being dogmatic means having to change all the do-nothing wrapper methods on that call chain.

If anything, I'd say wrappers are the real code smell. You can probably tell I'm not a fan of OO; I've encountered the aforementioned situation countless times, where the real purposeful change takes a tiny fraction of the time compared to going through all that other do-nothing code and changing it too. The mind-numbing depth of indirection and wasteful bureaucracy is excruciating.

You asked Dan and not me but let me take this opportunity to cheerlead intrusive moderation of "ad hominem" and "argument from authority" as well, both of which are also invariably markers of dumb, polluting arguments.
This might come as a surprise to you, but every company doesn't have infinite developer time to reinvent things which already exist.
Census data isnt the whole story. Many elderly people actually live in care homes, but thier residence/house sits waiting for them. So too with people who own houses to maintain a canadian "residence" when in reality they live overseas.
But the purpose of Anaconda is to have a easily installable set of frequently used tool for a variety of data science tasks. It's not meant to be a minimalist package.
A dwelling has zero intrinsic value. Ultimately, it only has value if someone is living in it. Having real estate sit empty can only be a temporary affliction.

Supply & demand - it's the law.

---
Buying real estate to just hold is almost always a losing proposition because of taxes and the time value of money. It is not like a bond, because bonds have guaranteed payouts. Real estate fluctuates in value, quite a lot. It's very easy to lose pots of money in real estate.

Thinking that users will become more desperate is hoping that the government will prevent supply from increasing, or that customers don't simply find other solutions. I suggest looking up what happened when the Hunt Brothers tried to corner the silver market by buying up the supply. Buying up your competition to drive up prices pretty much never works unless the government makes entry of competitors illegal or very hard.
People didn't seem to remember that the exact thing happened to Google. Picasa, youtube, GCloud, GSuite, and finally Gmail.

Who's next, domain fronting on Microsoft Azure?
Totally a poor source of data, but i'm presently shocked by the number of my friends moving to the west coat. I decided id spend the summer in Victoria, and it appears 4 other friends, without having discussed it with each other are also doing the same thing.
> more expensive but much better way, is to use an RGB LED

This is better for displays (or maybe stage lighting, art projects, fancy effects, ...) but not better for standard room lighting, and definitely not better for street lamps.

Using street lamps as information sharing devices makes a cute 1 minute demo, and sounds cool to sci-fi fans, but in practice would be gimmicky and not very effective.

The actual light coming out of “RGB” LEDs necessarily has a quite spiky spectrum, because they overemphasize supporting a wide color gamut. They also include more short wavelength light than is desirable for nighttime use (compromising night vision). e.g. https://cdn2.goughlui.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/hue-def...

> It's less about the LED being suitable for street lamps than it is about the lensing chosen to direct the light to the proper locations under the lamp.

I’m not quite sure what you are trying to say with this bit. For best lighting, there would be more lamps spaced closer together, placed at lower height, orange in color and individually dim, and diffused and well shielded from the side. These are all features which would be helpful for any type of lamp.

Unfortunately, the LED streetlamps adopted by cities are high up, widely spaced, much too blue, extremely intense, and not shielded from the side.
James only has a fraction of the story there. Yes, the alpha emitter (it was radioactive boron) that had contaminated our supplier's SRAM was a serious contributing factor to the (dreaded, infamous, triggering) e-cache parity error on UltraSPARC-II that itself was a major drag on the business. No, it wasn't the only factor (there were many, sadly -- the e-cache parity error represented multiple failures at nearly every level of the system) and no, the e-cache parity error didn't alone change the fundamentals of the business -- but it definitely didn't help!
Hey, I don't want to be a dick here, but your heroic story is that your parents had the juice to get you into college math classes as a high schooler?

How many kids don't have that going for them?

Maybe the best lesson for them is learning how to deal with the machine. Not that it's right. But it's what they'll need to do.
However, encrypted SNI and DNS-over-HTTPS should provide a better solution to that problem once they're ready, and there's no reason to think Amazon won't adopt encrypted SNI.
Good points. It's surprising that these cities are facing such a major housing crisis, and still allow foreign purchases of residential property. If someone wants to buy a house, they should intend to live there. This is especially true for non-residents. Stop allowing your housing market to be a speculative tool for people who are not even a part of your community.
Unless you want to employ the No True Scotsman here, how do you rationalize the repeated mass murders committed by people under the banner of the alt-right and equate them to people protesting against Trump or the KKK?

> But from "Sargon's" perspective, UKIP isn't fascist - it's the party attempting to remove the UK from the growing, minimally accountable supreme bureaucracy known as the EU.

Let's assume for a second that Carlgon isn't the misogynistic white supremacist charmer--he of the "I wouldn't even rape her" so recently, lest we forget--that he's made sure everybody knows he is. Let's assume that you are correct and that, gosh, he just doesn't like EU membership. Let's assume all of that.

Do you know the term for somebody who works with fascists to achieve their goals?

A fascist.

This stuff just ain't that hard.
Of all the “lock in” of AWS, lambda functions are the easiest to convert. Not only that, you can write a standard Node/Express C#/Web API, Python/Django service, throw a proxy on top of it and deploy it either to lambda or a standard server just by slightly tweaking your build pipeline.

A lambda function is nothing more than a standard app with an entry point with two arguments. Your handler function should be “skinny” just like a Controller action in a typical MVC framework.

There's a difference between wanting privacy and wanting control over privacy though, right? I have a lot more respect for a company that doesn't collect information on me in the first place than one that lets me configure all the ways in which they collect my data.

GPL is about user freedom. You're talking about someone else's freedom; not user freedom. GPL doesn't say 'you can't make money on this software' or even 'you can't do evil things with this software'. It just says you can't take away other people's freedom to use the software under the same terms.
For anyone still confused to why AWS dominates the cloud market, it's because they're willing to grandfather features with a reasonable sunset horizon.
I've only experience with Berlin Germans, but when I lived among them, they were more racist than the good-old-boy-est good-old-boys I knew in northern Appalachia. Just get them started when they had had a few brews about der Türker...

> Nationwide in 2010, state and local governments raised $37 billion in motor fuel taxes and $12 billion in tolls and non-fuel taxes, but spent $155 billion on highways.[3] In other words, highway user taxes and fees made up just 32 percent of state and local expenses on roads. The rest was financed out of general revenues, including federal aid.

This did not include $28 billion from the Federal gas tax, so $49 billion becomes $77 billion.

Looking into the Census data, it also inexplicably doesn’t include $21 billion of “Motor vehicle license” revenue. So we’re up to $98 billion.

It also does not appear to include motor vehicle sales taxes, nor motor vehicle property taxes.

I can’t find a figure for property tax, but I did find a report that in 2013 sales taxes for new and used vehicles totaled $38.9 billion. We are now approaching 100%...

An AutoAlliance report calculates in 2013 the auto sector paid $110 billion in State taxes and $98 billion in Federal taxes. [1] Even this does not include vehicle property taxes, as the amount is not readibly calculable due to the sheer number of entries that collect this kind of tax.

By comparison, the report linked from your [2] link did include this;

> In 2010, state and local governments spent $60 billion on mass transit, ... , in turn raising $13 billion in mass transit fares, ...

Seems like it’s mass transit that’s the one which is heavily subsidized.

We entered WWI late in the game and "only" suffered 53k combat deaths. WWI was huge for the major combatants of France, Germany, Russia, and Austria-Hungary, each of whom lost over a million in combat, plus the British empire which lost just under a million between England and all her subjects. To put it in context, more Canadians died in combat in WWI than Americans, and Canada at the time was much less populated than the US, even more so than today. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_I_casualties

So, yeah, we don't tend to think of WWI as much as being one of the major wars we were involved in. The major wars we tend to think about in our cultural consciousness are the Revolutionary War, Civil War, WWII, Vietnam War, and then because of the recency bias, the "global war on terror" in Iraq/Afghanistan. WWI is covered in history classes of course, but primarily from the western front perspective, which the US didn't get involved in until the war was almost won.
ASCII art, Unicode art, it doesn't matter what encoding you use, the result will look the same. Sometimes it's useful to represent things in text — are you going to tell us that if I should want to make a simple diagram in my code's comments, I should embed a large PNG file into a text file in order to achieve it?
What a disgusting and disingenuous interpretation — see this for what it is, a blatant powergrab by the federal government that prevents localities (states) from governing themselves. The interstate commerce clause was a mistake and should be abolished.

Americans have (for generations) been indoctrinated into an extremely narrow view of WW2, where Holocaust is front and center and everything else is made irrelevant. In an American mind there are no real victims of WW2 other than the Jews, which is very insulting to pretty much half of European nations that suffered immensely.
The reason these older apartments (known in NYC anyway as "pre-war") are in demand, though, is they were built with much higher quality - as you point out, high ceilings, thick walls, etc. All of those places have been renovated (many times in fact), but the value lies in the higher quality older construction, and importantly, that fact that that construction does not exist going forward is a big reason for the value in those apartments.

I personally have seen new "luxury" condos in a major American city built in 2000 being devalued because since that time there have been many more "more luxury" condos built, to the point where the older condos lack features that make it difficult to compete with the newer buildings.

A student whose situation I’m personally aware of was threatened with expulsion during middle school after a history of being an undistinguished but not particularly troublesome student for a) doodling a bobomb (character from Mario) in their notebook during class and b) filling in a speech bubble saying “Let’s blow up the school.” Zero tolerance policy; bomb threat.

It took substantial efforts by a parent to keep them in school, including begging, pleading, and threatening a PR campaign along the lines of “I will personally call every mother at this school and break down in their living room about how you ruined my son’s life” to get him reinstated.

The school was, obviously, neither bobombed nor hit with a turtle shell nor stomped on.

> Except that feminism actively derides both the gender norms that say mothers are better caregivers and the US court system's bias against fathers in child custody rulings.

Among people who call themselves feminists there are both people who strive for equality (and better relations) between the sexes and those who are striving for better conditions for women only.

Many self-proclaimed feminists probably wouldn't consider bias against fathers in child custody rulings a major issue. And those who don't concern themselves with men's rights are likely to alienate men in their quest for better treatment of women.
How do you think that's different than the comment to which you replied?
That's just noise as long as construction keeps up with or outpaces demand. The problem is some cities have held back construction for decades, so it will take significant construction to get to the other side of the supply curve.

As a thought experiment, what if you doubled the supply of housing units in Manhattan? Or 10x? 20x? I have a hard time believing housing prices would remain high.
Whoever thought taxes would fix anything?
It does seem like just doing it in hardware may be a linear gain but isn't a fundamentally better algorithm. There's a proof that you do need to pause your program eventually, if you want to be sure you get all the garbage.
