This show made me realize that there are two distinct groups of people with zero middle ground: Those who enjoy or at least don't see anything wrong with it, and those who feel they are represented (poorly) in the show, and intensely dislike it.

The first group usually tends to compare the second group to the show's characters ("he's such a Sheldon") and doesn't see anything wrong with that, either.

> all American cities are shit

This is true. American urban design is hot garbage that fell off a truck, went threw a sewer, was dried out, set on fire, and then shot into the sun.

But affordability wise, yeah it's mostly the super-successful liberal cities that are really feeling the pain. Though all the other cities still have serious problems with economic segregation by neighborhood, generally.

"As the cost of conducting espionage operations—in money, time, and effort—has shrunk, spying has become less esoteric. These days it is an integral part of business, finance, sports, and family litigation over divorce and child custody. Indeed, modern life encourages people and institutions of all kinds to adopt the thinking and practices of the spy world."

My joke, for some years now, has been that the average teenager has better surveillance capabilities than the CIA did in the 1960's. It might be better than what they had in the 70's or 80's by now. It seems likely to me that Google, Facebook, and probably Amazon, have better data than intelligence agencies of the 90's could've ever hoped for.
You have comedies parodying all those things. While the show did make fun of the nerd things they also gave most of them good qualities and successful lives and they were happy about being nerds.

It seems it is just a sensitive subject for some nerds but look at for example Modern Family. The gay couple and their friends are mocked for tons of gay stereotypes for example.
For one, animals are properly slaughtered and they are required to be healthy to be considered for human consumption.

Dying humans are usually sick, old, or otherwise damaged, and are not slaughtered but die naturally, so e.g. they’re not bled out properly.

So even if it wasn’t dangerous due to diseases, it wouldn’t be palatable unless heavily processed down to the molecular level. At that point you basically get bonemeal, the same stuff we make from animal carcasses, and used as a fertilizer or food supplement for livestock.

> ...Until the minority becomes the majority.

Not exclusively

There are typically minority and majority powers which have to be recognized. This typically is correlated with the prevalence of a particular ethnic group acting in its own interests by numerical representation, but it does not always exist this way. In some places it is easy to see how current minority groups becoming majority groups would still not inherit power accumulated via generational wealth, or would not have a realistic means of gaining consensus on changing socioeconomic circumstances in their favor.

A more collaborative approach to different groups in a system would be necessary, instead of fearing demographic changes.

> Kids being bullied and remaining friendless in school due to being nerdy is not a rare occurrence.

Is this still the case in 2019?

I was friendless (not bullied) for much of middle and highschool (2006-2010ish) not because I was nerdy, but because I was socially awkward and didn't make any attempt to fix it until later in highschool. It feels like a lot of people are mad at the show making fun of socially awkward people, which is completely separate from being nerdy.
That's not what I took from the article at all. Here are the two points I got:

1. Microsoft is releasing a patch for Windows XP, which is odd because they no longer support it. This could indicate that a very serious vulnerability is about to be revealed - one which likely goes beyond XP itself.

2. There are still far too many computers running Windows XP. Doing so is a dangerous practice - especially if the device is networked - and keeps getting harder to justify.
> And ultimately, they're the tax payers and voters for that city. What they want is valued more than what outsiders want for their city.

Yup, this is a big part of the problem. Potential residents can't vote, so you end up with a tragedy of the commons kind of situation: everyone agrees that someone ought to make more housing, but they all want someone else to handle it, and leave them alone.

It's not entirely unlike homeless shelters. People agree that they should exist, just never in their own neighborhood. Because, y'know, eww.

The solution is to have policy dictated at a higher level of authority that can avoid regulatory capture by hyperlocal interests. A zoning board that operated at the regional level would have fewer problems than cities or neighborhoods making these decisions.

I don't think you know what "capitalist" means.

Hint: this is not the same as cronies at government's trough. "Crony capitalism" or corporatism is the current economic system in US, and not capitalism, by very long far. Mainstream republican politicians (and mainstream democrat politicians, too) are representatives of that, not of capitalism or socialism.

He got fined for it. He was stupid - in my eyes, the judgement was stupid too I agree - but that's it. Equating this to some Orwellian novel though confuses me though. That's some Fox News/Daily Mail level of pulling at straws. We're not living in the 1400s where speaking bad of the king could get you locked up or beheaded, or the early 1900s where that kind of joking was not only allowed but encouraged. It's not quite true classical liberalism, but it's also nowhere near Oceania Thought Police. It's certainly much closer to the former than the later.

What I'm struggling to understand is why we're trying to compare fining a person for a joke, versus the systematic imprisonment of four times as many people per capita as that in the UK, and exponentially more if you compare the US to the rest of Europe[1]. 46% of the population is in for non-violent crime. Hell, according to cut50, just under 1 in 100 Americans are behind bars, up 500% in 30 years.

So what was the point of your comment, then? The US is still democratic.

If you're specifically objecting to the use of "democratic", I could also say that it's blatantly unfair and nonsensical. Why should North Dakotans have more voting power than Californians or Texans?
Okay, that's a fair point and thanks for clarifying. To be clear, I'm not trying to put down all lifting - I agree with your point that best results come from a mix. My only problem with lifting culture is one particular subculture which emphasizes growth at all costs, steroids etc, which I find super dangerous and unhealthy. But I concede that I didn't make this clear with my original wording.

Also agree about BJJ. Haven't tried it out yet but hope to start training soon.

But that's exactly my point. Teams with money buy the best players and managers.

But what is the definition of best? It used to be scouting and feelings. Today, it's almost down to great data science.

That's the reason why Jurgen Klopp gets $75M to buy Virgil Van Dijk and $60M for Allison. The data homework was done and they are almost guaranteed to succeed in Klopps setup.

Republican tax legislation that continues the transfer of wealth from the lower and middle classes to the top 0.1% of families.

Ahem.

The top 0.1% of earners pay more than 20% of the total taxes collected.

The bottom 43.8% of earners pay only 1.4% of the taxes.

If the rich are making money off the backs of the poor, it's certainly not through our income tax system.

> private, legally gotten wealth

Much of even that is illegitimately gotten, even if it's legal. Good examples include the Bush family or even Trump. Regulatory capture. Illegitimate wars. Sanctions. Insider trading. Tax avoidance. etc.

Super rich are a major political risk. That needs to be quashed. No single human needs to hold a billion dollars or more. There is no good reason to allow this sort of thing. At all. Period. If the wealthiest at most had at most 100x of the poorest that would be progress... and would force lifting of everyone's standard of living.

Just a couple of Bash scripts to make WireGuard server config and place it in /etc/wireguard/

There’s a option to configure iptables as well.

Tested on AWS Lightsail and DigitalOcean. If a quick config option is chosen, you’d only need to install iptables persistent to finish the deployment. On LightSail server port needs to be allowed in the GUI; on DigitalOcean iptables take care of everything.

In the code builder demo, it strikes me that all that code in swift could be replaced with a declarative format:

let TestVC = viewController(

)
)

And probably be easier to type than these snippet demos. Has there emerged a good declarative API for iOS? As a web developer, as much as I hate the insanity of the javascript tooling ecosystem it's hard to imagine going back to the spaghetti I see with swift/iOS apps.
If you go for a shorter stay in a city as a digital nomad (e.g. 1-6 months), then Barcelona/Rio and similar hold a huge advantage comparing to Munich/Frankfurt/Stuttgart/Hamburg, as you could actually have some great social experiences there in a very short time, but stand little to no chance cracking the "legendary" German "coconut personality". It's highly unlikely you'd meet anyone giving you a kidney anyway, but you'd have a higher chance in a less affluent part of the world where friendships operate out of existential necessity and mutual understanding that next time it could be you in troubles, than in developed countries with increasing shift towards "f*k you, got mine" mentality. It's also amusing to observe German tourists in poor African countries penny-pinching and depriving locals of wage for a service their family relies on just to "save a bit of money".
Pilots can hold more than one type certification, but they have to keep them current. There are many pilots who fly more than one type of aircraft routinely.

Boeing tried so hard to avoid "retraining". Yet the training isn't that expensive. It's about $22,000 for an airline pilot to move from another aircraft to a 737 family aircraft. Takes about a month. And that's like an Airbus to a Boeing switch, not just between similar models. If Boeing threw in a few training credits with each aircraft (each costs about $100 million) that would have solved the problem.
From a very young age I’ve thought cemeteries were ludicrous. It’s nice to be able to remember a loved one, but after a few hundred years is it still necessary? The fact is after a certain number of generations no one is grieving or remembering or even visiting the cemetery plots. In a nearby graveyard in London the gravestones are so old and space is so tight that they moved them all out of the way to make room for a playground.

Who am I to feel so important that I should take up space in perpetuity?

After a few generations, document the gravestones and get rid of them and make room for a park you can run around in.

They won't come unless there are jobs.

But if there are already jobs fro them, it's absolutely 100% the responsibility of cities to make sure that they allow enough housing to be built.

Right now California cities are encouraging growth in jobs while simultaneously actively preventing any sort of balance with housing. This has great effects for the pocket books of landowners in cities, and tremendously negative effects for the environment and all the workers that come later.

It's a completely false strawman to assert that families in 400sqft condos are the inevitable result of density. But we know what happens when nothing is built, that families savings are drained until they are forced to move to other areas, displacing them. That's by far the worst consequence, and it is the active choice of wealthy people in California.

I don't think they form a cohesive set. Zuck is not Gates. On several levels. Gates may be a bit of an ass but $70b in vaccines and reproductive health worldwide is huge. And Melinda Gates is not just lobbying for corporate, she's confronting the Republican agenda on contraception.

Zuck is just masturbating in his money pool.

It's possible the core argument: buying access and influence is true. I don't know, I don't hang around with billionaires.

I just think they probably disaggregate as much as they form a consistent set.

PEP 594 – Removing dead batteries from Python's standard library
Disclaimer: I have no experience with the specific field mentioned here.

I do think these seemingly absurd images have tremendous value for learning.
The openly visible motions and postures are easy to teach. But there is more to movement and the feeling of ones own body that that.
As I see it at the moment, these images are shortcuts coded in emotion and in-body-experience-feelings to teach the things that are very hard to teach otherwise.

The way eg Ki is described does make it sound extremely unlikely to actually exist, but using the images while moving or just breathing is quite powerful, and one can become aware of things inside the body that are not obvious.
(One can often clearly see and feel the difference when someone does or does not do this (during the actions that need them).)

I can highly recommend to try.

edit:

Thinking of examples, the exact tilt of my hip for whatever use is best controlled by emotion. I have control about muscles in my lower body area (?) that do things to the way my body moves and reacts, this works almost exclusively over images and emotion. My posture is subtly different when I use emotion/images to work on it. I can use a lot more force when the images are right (the whole body is used, no joints at a bad angle etc, things that are very hard to do consciously.) Things like this.

I and many others disagree, including Clojure's designers, who designed it as a Lisp. Homoiconicity, macros, S-expressions and FP make a language a Lisp. OCaml and SML are about as different as Scheme and Clojure, yet no one thinks they're not both MLs.
