No. My point of dispute is that "socialism" is qualitatively different (in actual substance, not just terminology) from "social democracy", that "social democracy" does not answer to what "socialism" is. To my understanding, the author is using the word "socialism" to refer to what I am using it to refer to, but misunderstanding it.
I always just assumed school buses were yellow because they're always referred to as yellow, but then my 3 year old child said "look at the orange bus" and as I looked, I realized that indeed the colour of a bus appears to be more orange than yellow. Now I can't un-see it.
I don't think that's necessarily accurate. The Nazi's conquered many countries without exterminating their population. As I understand it they only attempted to exterminate Jewish people, homosexuals, and the disabled.

Granted even that is deeply evil, but it doesn't mean that they would wipe out any given people group that they conquered.

Google Analytics keeps track of visitors using cookies, so if a browser has cookies or JavaScript disabled, then it won't keep track of it. This includes the now so popular adblockers and bots as well. Log analysis such as GoAccess should be able to track these down fine since it works at the server level.

I believe tracking visitors at the client level deflates the actual number of visitors as pointed above. On the other hand, server-side tracking gives you a more accurate number at the cost of not knowing for sure if the client is a human behind a browser.

> What if we had a very serious law that says that if you get caught lying to people about the issues being voted on, you'd be thrown in jail?

You don't have to lie in order to make people vote in a certain direction. For example, you could give more coverage of one side of the argument than the other. E.g. in the case of the topic of terrorism you can choose to ignore it, or you can frame the issue in such a way that it seems that the viewer is at a high risk of being attacked, e.g. by showing old footage in every news bulletin. As another example, take euthanasia; you can explain the humanitarian side of it, or you can zoom in on the mistakes that have been made by doctors in other countries in this context, and make them look horrific. You can apply these kinds of tricks to almost any topic, I'm sure you get the point.

That loudness is a safety feature. It helps keep drivers alert for the presence of a motorcycle.

In the US, someone with no college degree and Excel skills is going to get a data entry job. He will not work on any satisfying technology job, at least not without a lot of blood, sweat, tears, and extreme luck first.

There are unpaid internships that require Master's degrees these days. A college degree has become as vital now as a high school diploma was in the 80s.

Python is a better bet, but there are still tons of grads to hire with Python skills. I recently posted a data science opportunity and got 250 resumes before the end of the day, many of whom had Master's degrees or PhDs.

If your nephew insists against college, which is a huge mistake (there are lots of easy, nearly-free public schools he could attend), he should look into trade schools. Our country has a shortage of electricians, for example.
The book “The Carbon Farming Solution” is a really good reference. Methane is a problem, sure, but land use and a food system that is heavily reliant on petrochemicals (from fertilizer to transportation) is the real, systemic issue.

We need research into perennial crops (which require less petrochemical inputs and sequester more carbon) so we can start moving away from annual crops, which convert forested land into crop land, mainly to produce animal feed.

This can go a long way, but isn’t enough on its own — we still need to transform energy production and transportation as well.
>> Why is the WikiLeaks foundation responsible for the content posted on their platform, when Google and Facebook aren’t?

Governments still have control over Facebook and Google. They don't like WikiLeaks because they cannot control it. But it's still a good point though; I think Google and Facebook do much more harm to American citizens than WikiLeaks ever could.

It's just that with Google and Facebook, it's less obvious because the bad is mixed in with the good.

I've seen at least in two YC videos a very clear mention that the recommendations don't have much weight, basically saying "don't worry about it".

Secondly, is YC even that homogenous? It may be skewed towards enterprise software, but they do invest in a far wider range of startups than any other VC. And the ethnical and gender diversity is not that bad either, all things considered.

Assange is presumed innocent.

Assange is in jail because his lawyers are challenging the US extradition request and there is legal process going on.

There is no evidence of him being tortured. He seems to have mental problems. People getting mentally ill in jails is very common.
And who are the jurors? The jurors are you. You should not expect of yourself to magically pause your judgement only in the event of being chosen as a a juror. The pause of judgement should be your default state.

Is that stability actually an issue? It would seem to indicate that the voter has no strong preference for the items that they could not remember how to order consistently, and so either outcome would be roughly equally acceptable to them.
This paper argues implicitly for getting a college education. Reason is that very few people would be able to understand this paper before getting a college education. Many Americans may graduate college without being able to understand this paper. For those who do graduate able to understand the paper, I'm sure college increased their earning power and wealth.
I think you've misread my post. I wasn't talking about Assange.
In American English there is nothing prurient about the word root, it means the part of a plant which grows into the ground, connotations derived from same (e.g. etymological root), and to cheer for your favorite team.

It's just accent drift, happens all the time. The other pronunciation is also in use, I would say "Root 66" but I call the network packet devise a "Rowter".

Literally torturing him to a slow death, after doing their utmost to smear his reputation, and a decade of separating him from his family.

He's in custody awaiting his extradition hearing, which is perfectly normal. (Do we need to explain why granting Assange bail would probably be a bad idea?)
We will lose. Russia, Canada and Alaska will gain.. Also China, Mongolia, Kazachstan...
You’re missing some:

- logging (replacing syslog)

- login (replacing login managers such as ConsoleKit)

- network configuration

- tmpfiles

- timedated (replacing ntpd)

- udev (userspace /dev manager)

- boot (replacing boot managers like grub)

As you can see, systemd has taken over a great many things that are totally unrelated to its core mission of replacing sysvinit. The fact that it continues to grow and take over all these other facilities and the fact that the systemd team actively fights people trying to develop alternatives is why people hate the project so much.

> The student loan system will cost the government $170 billion in losses over 10 years

I don’t doubt this, but it’s a statement that focuses only on losses and completely ignores the economic benefits of the educated workforce.

$170 billion over ten years is on the order of 1% of education spending. Since graduates and postgraduates are earning, on average, roughly 2x and 3x non-graduates respectively, the extra income taxes paid by the non-defaulting group of college graduates alone makes the loan forgiveness losses a drop in the bucket, the income makes up for the losses many times over.

Y2K: Canada prepared for an apocalypse that never happened
As a previous content creator, 8tracks was ergonomically hard to use and drove me away from trying to create more mixes. It's been a long while, but I recall having a lot of trouble ordering tracks (sometimes having to delete and re-upload all 8 tracks in perfect order), having trouble putting in metadata correctly, and the actively "we're afraid of copyrights" hostile presentation of my resulting work (hiding info from end users). I just disliked the entire experience, that much is memorable.

No time codes, could not list the tracks and times for curious listeners who wanted more, etc. - I ended up leaving self-comments on the mixes with all the various information because their UI and service would not let me present it as I wanted and listeners wanted. I ended up just walking away after the first half-dozen creations and moving on to a better service. For avid music aficiandos it was sub=par listening experience because of these hurdles, I didn't even like the phone app playing my own mixes. :(

Point is, failure of a company/solution is sometimes that it was just sub-par and wasn't engaged by users because there were better alternatives, and 8tracks (to me) was one of the sub-par content creation services. 100% opinion by an ex-member. :)
Twistronics: superconductor prototypes discovered after twisting graphene sheets
When I was 8-11 I played this game obsessively. I did a fourth grade project on logic gates because of it. Probably contributed to why I ended it up in robotics.

It was an incredibly hard game. I got to the last level on my own but didn't unlock the fourth robot, leading to a soft lock. I also used unoptimal solutions for maybe half the levels. Ie. Using a random bouncer and patience to traverse the ventilation shafts.

Some of my fondest memories of growing up with an Apple II.

UN OHCHR statement

https://www.ohchr.org/EN/NewsEvents/Pages/DisplayNews.aspx?N...
From the article:
Recently, physicists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology discovered that stacking two sheets of graphene and twisting a small angle between them reveals an entire new field of material science – twistronics. In a paper published in Nature, researchers have taken a look into this new material, known as the magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene. By modifying the graphene’s temperature, they were able to cause the material to shift from behaving like an insulator to transforming into a superconductor.
The top link, which is the only one that addresses court proceedings, is nothing to do with his bail jumping case at all - it's about the US extradition. Just from a timeline perspective this is obvious: his conviction was back in May; this article is from October.
No one notices when things go right:

> “Should we all be feeling a bit silly this morning?” a journalist asked him shortly after the date change.

> “Why?” he replied, audibly annoyed. “Because we haven't seen problems? You know, I have been doing [interviews] now all day and I keep getting asked the same questions. And it's a rather silly approach.”

> From Mr. de Jager’s perspective, he hadn’t gotten anything wrong. Businesses and governments had done what he told them to do. Their efforts were the reason sparks weren’t flying out of the global economy. It wasn’t evidence of a hoax, but mission accomplished.

> Virtually no one was convinced.

Of course some people see things differently:

> For doubters such as Mr. Loblaw, Jan. 1 felt like a vindication. When there is a chance to say “I told you so” on an international scale, it is hard to resist. He had pitched an article to The Globe and Mail, and in his op-ed published Jan. 6 he outed himself as the creator of the Year 2000 website and jeered Canadians who got “conned.”

> In the past two decades, the millennium bug has become a kind of byword for fraudulence and hysteria.

Forgive me if it sounds like I'm trying to bait into an argument, but

Why?

What is the appeal of writing immensely long, fragile shell scripts?

Having to wrap them in various monitoring and logging daemons

Having to have different ones for every distro you want to support with your software

Is this something that is truly a productive use of your time? Putting aside the question of if systemd is "good" or not. Is the current sysvinit system truly "good enough" and not in need of change?
> That again disregards the fact that those regimes have to be sustained economically.

I don't really see how I'm disregarding that. I mean, sure, I didn't explicitly include a list of necessary pre-requisistes, of which this is just one, but I don't see why either of my scenarios are not possible because of economic constraints. I'm totally open to hearing any reasoning behind this belief though.

> See, no matter what people believe, which gods they pray for, what ideologies they follow and how they manage their lives, they inevitably increase the means of production.

Unless I'm misunderstanding (am I?), this suggests no examples can be found in history of ideologies being adopted that result in decreased production.

> Increased means of production mean lower transaction costs. Lower transaction costs generate decentralization. Decentralization progressively make centralized regimes not viable.

Sometimes, maybe. Many things are possible, this theory is just one of them.
My guess is that Esterel is using the word "synchronicity" for what we know as "reactive" today. Not to be confused with the "sync/async" we normally refer to blocking/non-blocking today. I could misunderstanding this though. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synchronous_programming_langua...
