Sounds like a great project, good luck. I'll share my favourite tip from back in the day when I regularly brought up new bare metal Z80 systems. Just on the off chance it might be useful. Use a blank EPROM as your first program. It's all 0xff bytes which are RST 7 instructions, equivalent to a subroutine call to 0x0038. So you should observe an super tight loop of an 8 bit read of 0xff from 0x0038, then a 16 bit write of 0x0039 to an ever incrementing address. Suitable for scoping each bit of your address and data bus. The incrementing write address is the stack pointer, which just cycles through 64K. The most significant address bit toggles at the rate it takes to cycle through 64K. Although 0x0039 return address keeps getting pushed onto the stack, there's no corresponding pop, the stack is just perpetually overflowing. But it doesn't matter given this 1 byte "program" serves only to give you the simplest possible repeating pattern to look at with your oscilloscope.
This is the exact type of short-sighted activism that steps the movement back; not forward.

If you treat regular people like the enemy, expect to be treated as such.

However, if you go into it calling attention to an issue using humor and goodwill, more people might join your cause.

These people are idiots and remind me of PETA.

Yes, for the price absolutely.
I'm hardly going to lament - to passionately regret or complain about - something I wish to keep. If I lament socialised medicine it's very unlikely I have socialised medicine as the solution to my passionate complaints and weeping... If I just want to fix clear problem areas I'm not going to lament the whole concept...

Not really misinterpreting - the EU was very much a political integration project in 1974 when the UK joined the "common market", it just wasn't marketed to the public as such. For instance a common foreign policy was already mostly in place, as was "ever closer union", which would later become the problem phrase for the Tory party. Heath knew that. It was in all the documents from the very beginning. Many of the restraints of trade and labour focused measures were there from the very start too.

Even the preceding Coal and Steel Community was built around merging the democracies.[1] One of the founding aims in the very first signed treaty was to transform Europe step by step to a unified single state. It also had those developing business interests - though the central bank isn't a real central bank of course.

So in summary some has been clearly in favour of business, some has clearly not, and it's always been so. I'm not sure how you categorise it as weak democracy either - it has the problems with lobbying that every form of modern democracy has, but that's not uniquely EU.

Maybe not. Maybe these all are more like infrastructure companies rather than service/product providers. But then we should regulate them as infrastructure companies, too.

In my experience it is reasonable to wait in the sense that it's basically a middle layer where all the requests pass through.

The electoral college is becoming severely strained. With each couple of presidential cycles the country increasingly tests its limits. How many million more votes did Clinton have over Trump in 2016? Trump won the election by ~30K votes spread across two 'blue wall' states and a single rust belt state.

Republican gerrymandering and the agglomeration of left-wing voters in metropolitan corridors goes a long way to explaining the recent Republican monopoly in the Senate.

Now, if you are suggesting that having the White House and half the legislature excludes a party from harboring within its fold a countries counterculture, then explain the 90's. The only rebuttal here is to say that the Clinton administration and the Democrats in Congress during the 90's were not representative of leftist counterculture, but that Trump and the GOP are representative of that part of the right-wing I am labeling as counterculture. The former is perhaps plausible, the latter probably isn't. What goes on on 4chan and 8chan, from what I can tell, is not representative of what goes on in D.C.

Now, for the sake of argument, say we accept this modified argument and agree that Trump and the GOP Congress represents what I am labeling the new counterculture. Can you still not see how center-left politics is the dominant culture? If I watch or read CNN, MSNBC, NBC, Comedy Central, The Economist, The NYT, Washington Post, The Late Shows, The Late Late Shows, pretty much anything coming out of Hollywood, etc. are you suggesting I'll find anti-trump culture to not be predominant within articles and videos I see?

"2. A job that pays

Your colleagues might be the worst humans to work with but at least you have a monthly income. If you hate your job, either suck it up and be grateful you have a job or find a better workplace."

Doesn't this entirely contradict the title? The underlying point is that you have access to resources that you want. Limiting expenses up to the point where you don't want more then you have gives you the same outcome, minus all the job negativities.
That’s why the Green Party is so popular in Germany. Voters get to live out their authoritarian streak in a socially acceptable way. It’s not an accident they are now in power in one of the more conservative parts of Germany (Baden-Würtenberg).
I like where you're coming from, but it doesn't quite work IMO.

Even having the police just knock on your door might be deleterious enough: The point is the outcome is known, expected, likely, and almost certainly has an observable (by third parties that the person ordinarily associates with) negative effect.

Saying something nasty to someone in an online forum, that if ignored will have no effect, is still markedly different; and is readily differentiable.

A first test might be "if I didn't see the speech would it still have an effect".
> mild undercurrents of racism/xenophobia for some people because rural England is overwhelmingly white and slightly old fashioned

The people of an area are mostly white and that makes them racist? Do you think black people in mostly-black areas are racist too or is it only racist to be white?
IIRC objects experiencing acceleration (e.g. planets orbiting each other) are not subject to Galilean relativity like objects that are moving at a constant velocity (e.g. ball being thrown on a train). So when planets orbit each other, there is only a singe valid frame of reference.

See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mach's_principle
The center of gravitation is also just a simplification, or how scientists call it: "a model". Actually everything gravitates around everything else, as the article also explains.

Models, or simplifications, aren't bad though. Because what value can you get out of "everything gravitates around everything else"? Not much. But if you use a model, you can use the model to explain what happened in the past and use it to make an approximated assumption about the future. You can use it to guide decisions, and you can use it to focus on more details in other areas. E.g. if you don't use the actual trajectory of everything but a model, you can still calculate where Mars will be when you reach it if you start right now from point X on Earth. Of course the center of Mars will not be at exactly the same point, but it will be a good enough approximation that you can start planning resources required to get there, and it can help you decide if "now" and point X are good inputs to that travel plan.

Models are a good, helpful tool. They are just not explaining everything, and that on purpose, and as a human we always need to be aware of that models are just models and not reality.
It's usually the cheapest option that's ok in my experience, which is probably what most people are looking for.
The problem is that engineering an efficient concurrent garbage collected runtime environment is hard. It may even be harder than writing the compiler itself, especially if you rely on llvm for the back end.
There are two rescued bald eagles at the SF zoo which live on an island--you can sometimes see them swim around their locale.

Edit: I left out the important part—their wings are broken so they are flightless, hence the swimming.
I was actually surprised when I learned this. The biggest complaint about Amazon had been a lack of curation and all that entails -- foot long brooms that photograph well, brands you've never heard of, cheap things that break quickly, counterfeits, etc. It feels like an online dollar store, even when you're spending thousands.

It doesn't take that much effort to have a human in the loop to pick something for the top thousand or so product categories, and naively that's what I expected when I saw the "Amazon's Choice" seal of approval on these things.
> That's the entire deal of fascists: take something that has no negative connotation and give it one. It's how they make their way to the public space.
> ... even the fucking # (this one is especially dumb).

No, the "fashtag" is a great example. The trolls are trying to exploit paranoia about dogwhistles. Their goal is not to make fascists use the hashtag, but to laugh at (hypothetical) people who avoid hashtags because of internet hearsay that it might be a secret nazi symbol.

It takes two to tango - this particular kind of trolling doesn't work (and didn't work in the case of the fashtag) when we relax a little about dogwhistles. I won't let them take away my feelsbadman.jpg.
> However, I also think that the old adage "desperate times call for desperate measures" applies here.

If they were really into desperate measures, their actions would be targeting China (you know, that country that now produces more CO2 than all the Western countries combined and that is set to keep greatly increasing it during the next decade), not the only set of developed countries that actually did something and greatly decreased their CO2 emissions in the last decades.

I wholeheartedly agree with you that taking the time to really connect with an individual so that you can then grapple with their beliefs from a place of deep, shared understanding is more ideal.

The problem is most of the scientific community is telling us that we're heading towards dire circumstances in the next few decades. I don't think we really have the time to hold everyone's hand and bring them gently to the realization that we're all part of a massive problem that could very well threaten the continued survival of our species :(

Under the Radar: The Sabotage of SimCopter
4chan has always been transparently cooperative with law enforcement whenever they ask. They don't demand subpoenas or are obstructive - I imagine 4chan has good relations with various agencies.

8chan is another beast and I'd imagine that site to be as toxic as what goes on. I would imagine no good relations nor prior willingless to play ball. They state they "comply with US law" and are "responding" to the police. Doesn't seem as friendly as 4chan's approach.

Of course in the US it's common to "never talk with the police" so I should affix by saying that I'm a European and have more trust in the law
That surprised me too. Googling it I don't think it was a legal requirement but down to the bank. There was one lady on a forum complaining it had happened in 89:

>Never mind the 1970s - I was refused a bank account in 1989. I was working, my (then) partner was not, yet a bank told me I needed to get him to sign on my behalf. I walked out and went elsewhere.

I wasn't trying to make the case that it's the best way of doing it. Nor was I even implying that it's a particularly good way of doing it. But I do think that sometimes, it's the only way of doing it.

Also as an aside, I think there's deeper societal problems that we need to face if a few people lying on a road and stopping others from getting to work on time results in those people being considered "enemies".

For me, paper receipts are a quick and simple way to verify on-the-spot that the retailer hasn't screwed up the billing. If you're at the supermarket and everything is scanned by barcode, then everything's probably OK. If you're at a random mom-and-pop shop where product numbers and prices are entered into the POS by hand, well, cashiers are human beings, and we all make mistakes sometimes.

It would be nice if I could get an instant notification on my phone whenever my card is charged, itemizing the exact charges being added to my account, but today, that's a pipe-dream. Even then, paper receipts might be better because they keep that higher resolution of purchasing behavior private from my bank.

I'd agree that it would be a waste if I didn't get some kind of value from it. But I do. Whether society in aggregate gets enough of a benefit from it and whether more ecologically-friendly solutions are worth developing is a different question.
Yes, but nobody likes people who tell them sanctimoniously that their dietary/smoking/drinking/non-exercising/chair-sitting habits are wrong.
Did you though the same when we were told that in 20 year the Earth would be unhabitable due to the holes in the ozone layer and that it would take hundreds of not thousands of years to heal (that was 25 years ago btw)?

How about when Al Gore told your that inconvenient truth that the sea levels world rise 100m during the next decade (that was 15 years ago btw)?
An interesting tangent: At the time of Gallielo, the church used the Tychonian model of the solar system.

In the Tychonian model, the earth is the center and the sun revolves around the earth. But the other planets revolve around the sun! You will notice this is practicallty the same model as the Copernican model except for the arbitrary definition of what is "the center".

The only observable difference was the relation to the firmament which in the Tychonian model revolved around the earth but in the Copernican revolves around the sun. If the Copernican model was correct, some parallax to the stars should be observable. Now we know this is not observable due to the distance to the stars, but this was not known at the time.

I see your point, but I disagree.

The people involved in XR are British citizens. If they were to go to China and start performing acts of civil disobedience, they'd simply be deported (or worse).

Instead, they're trying to effect change in a place where they're afforded civil liberties to do so. I don't claim to speak for that movement, and maybe I'm not even thinking along the same lines as they are, but I would guess their hope is that if they change their home country then that example will help to influence other nations.
Things only have value because people want/need them.

So education (basically - changing the wants, satifying needs less destructively to the environment) is a good way to affect these things, too.
Every political or social collective/group/movement/whatever wants to be seen as hip and cool or whatever. So, the fact that alt-right individuals market themselves this way should come as no surprise. It also never came as a surprise that the center-left labeled themselves #TheResistance when they already had a monopoly on the popular vote and a monopoly on mainstream press and hollywood, which is just shorthand for saying that they marketed themselves as hip and cool and edgy (or whatever) even though they are quite clearly the dominant culture. How many anti-Trump SNL episodes must there be for this to be patently obvious?

What percentage of speakers on college campuses got deplatformed due to being right-wing vs. left-wing in the past decade?

If the right-wing doesn't harbor the counterculture, but rather the left-wing still harbors it, then why were electoral models so blown to bits in 2016 thanks to phenomena like Trump supporters not identifying as such in polls/surveys?
Thanks, not sure how I missed that.
I just want to say I hear you and think there could very well be some interesting nuances that we could discuss. But I have a policy of not engaging with throwaway accounts.

I'm not assuming that and it's irrelevant anyway. I'm concerned with what matters, not what represents some majority. The Github profile is (part of) your portfolio and if your portfolio sucks you are worse off professionally.

If that doesn't apply or matter to you, that's fine. You can move right along.

The point is that "alt-right" is the counter culture. "Alt-right" doesn't control half of the legislature, most of the Republicans are more traditional conservatives. You could argue the President has their support but his actual policies are rather far removed from what members of alt-right movement want.
Self-Driving Cars Have a Problem: Safer Human-Driven Ones
While I think the connection with what GP wanted to convey is tenuous, Betrands paradox _is_ interesting, and even more so E.T. Jaynes' solution.

As with most paradoxes, it's about how a seemingly innocuous question turns out to either be underspecified to have an answer, or tricks even the mind of mathematicians to assume too much.

Here it's about what it means to have a "random chord of a circle"; several simple ways to generate random chords lead to very different results, but true randomness should not be easy distinguishable from other true randomness...

E.T.J's solution to invoke the maximum ignorance principle to require any source of random chords to be size- and translation-invariant (because those dimensions are not specified in the problem) seems elegant.

Now, comparing to orbits, or to balls on a train, the thing here is: all these different viewpoints, although very different, do lead to the same result. Even if you calculate stuff; and if I'm not mistaken, that's because of relativity (Galilean relativity should be sufficient for the train example to work, the more modern ones for the rest).
Sure, but the Beacon technology was designed for this cheaper type of use (dumb beacon, smart phone) from the get-go - people working on it probably may have wanted it to be useful not just for the biggest chains, but also smaller franchises and mom-and-pop stores (why limit your market prematurely?). In the alternate reality in which BLE beacons were never created, maybe Wal-Mart did its own major project to get the same results the hard way.
That would be a fact for the Jury to decide.

I'd rather expect it to conclude they did.

Forget about planes flying (or not).

How much does one of these drones weigh? How much damage or injury would one cause if it falls upon someone or some equipment within the airport grounds? Think of the various flammable liquids in various parts of the airport.

We have rules (and licensing conditions) about flying drones in general, simply because of the serious risk some of them can entail. They came in within the last few years.

"SPA" is a fine, if difficult, architectural pattern. One needs to make a distinction between the processes and tools, and the pattern itself. SPAs are bad because of how they are built; personally, I blame the rise of front-end build tools for this. When it's easy to add dependency after dependency, then you get a bloated nightmare. Transpilers don't help, either, since they just remove you even further from "bare metal" of the browser, which is itself already at a dizzy height from the bottom. You might say that modern javascript programmers are too high, so to speak.

When I asked if you were a lawyer, I was genuinely curious. I figured if you were linking legislation without actually pointing out specifics, then it might be because your point was so blatantly obvious that only a dummy would not see it as self evident ;)

I disagree with your assessment. I myself am certainly not a lawyer, but the way I interpret that language is for something to be considered an act of terrorism it has to meet a criteria from section [1] AND section [2]. I agree that the planned drone demonstration meets 1c, but I don't think it meets any of the criteria from section 2.

If you're suggesting that because they're disrupting transportation activity then they are somehow creating serious risk to the health and safety of the public, then I wonder what you think of any kind of large scale protest march that closes down the majority of main roads in a capital city? Is that terrorism too?
