> The center is there for the first party that chooses to leave its entrenchment.

Unfortunately, that just isn't so. The evidence of the last three decades has been that every time the Democrats compromised a little, the Republicans just moved further to the right and re-entrenched themselves.
To be clear:

1. I believe the New Yorker reporter disingenuously made a statement that he knew to be false (because deleting the blog is clearly effective as a protest and publicity stunt, and clearly ineffective in removing access to content that's been widely mirrored elsewhere already) in order to create the false impression that Alexander might be trying to hide something.

2. I consider knowing falsehoods intended to harm others to be ugly.

I thought you were disagreeing with (1), which is why I thought it's relevant that Alexander himself said his goal was that publicity, and that his actions seem consistent with his words. Are you saying that you agree with (1) but disagree with (2)?
People frequently say this sort of thing, but it's so rare for me to want to move precisely one line up--more usually, I want to move N lines up and M characters over. By the time I've mashed the arrow keys (or hjkl) enough to get there, I could have just as easily grabbed the mouse. Of course editors like vi and emacs have much more powerful movement capabilities, but those aren't "classic left-down-up-right".

What I'd probably most appreciate in Acme is a shortcut equivalent to / in vi, for those situations where I can see a bit of text I want to get to and it'd just be faster to hit (hypothetically) Ctrl-J and type a few characters vs grabbing the mouse. But I don't miss it often enough to go hacking the source :)
Calling it a Republican House and Senate doesn't really do justice to the entire argument.

Yes, Congress is ineffective -- I think that's almost become an axiom at this point.

But it is often ineffective because of the rules it has adopted itself. The filibuster was removed for federal justices, and guess what? I think it's nearly 200 justices confirmed in the last three years, and while I don't remember the exact number during previous congresses I believe it's significantly higher.

As already noted, the filibuster is the root of a lot of this, but should the filibuster go away? McConnell famously told Reid he was going to pay for removing it, and he's made good on that promise, essentially transforming the entire federal judiciary with the power he was given. I view the filibuster as a check on the power of a tiny fractional majority -- should one party totally control everything that happens with a single vote majority? That essentially ignores the concerns of the rest. The filibuster at least forces some consensus building.

Better would be to have more than two parties. But how we could ever get there now I have no idea, the two parties in power have no intent of giving it up, and most people quite frankly are too stupid to even be bothered to vote, and those that do might be even more stupid in some ways. "Congress" is bad, "my congressperson" is the greatest ever because they get me money, and that seems to be the guiding principle for people voting these days. Maybe it always has been.
They don't, but even getting involved in government is a more direct route to change than this.
> The center is there for the first party that chooses to leave its entrenchement.

1. What sort of compromises with the modern Republican party do you expect the Democrats to have to make, that they haven't already been making?

2. And what will their reward for making them be? Another supreme court appointment unfilled until the president is a Republican? Another crappy compromise healthcare bill that maintains the status quo? Another decade or two of inaction on climate change?
First, it has: https://foreignpolicy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/dod_cha.... As a fraction of the economy, military spending is a little over one-third of what it was the year I was born. It’s actually pretty much the only part of government that has shrunk.

Second, the military is one of the few aspects of government that’s clearly supposed to be done at a federal level. Why do you think there is anything inconsistent about conservatives not cutting back government uniformly?

The threat of a filibuster is enough to make it not worthwhile to bring legislation to the floor. "debate" is pointless when everyone's mind is made up.

Uh, no. "You made a bad argument and therefore you are stupid" is not an ad-hominem argument "You are stupid and therefore your argument is bad" _is_ an ad-hominem argument. The OP's comment clearly follows the pattern of the former, not the later, so it is not an ad-hominem.

Bear in mind that tripletao's thesis is clearly that the NY article is a bad faith essay. That's his conclusion, not his premise.
The filibuster doesn’t need to be eliminated. It can serve it’s purpose if we hold to the original implementation: Make members read the phone book on the floor on Sunday morning at 2am instead of requiring 60 votes to end debate.
Assuming you believe Metz and his editor, and note that "angry" is a pretty milquetoast adjective. Usually when people try to engage in nutpicking, they at least cite death threats, which are a dime a dozen online when people are really angry.
I was making a pun: 'acme' means the highest point.

But I also disagree with you: acme is strictly more powerful than vi, and vim is just a Greenspunned Emacs. Greenspun's Tenth Rule holds that 'any sufficiently complicated C or Fortran program contains an ad hoc, informally-specified, bug-ridden, slow implementation of half of Common Lisp'; I contend that vim is an ad-hoc, informally-specified[0], bad-taste (seriously, have you ever looked at Vimscript?) reimplementation of Emacs's functionality.

It does, however, have better keybindings than Emacs does by default.

0: outside of the POSIX stuff it gets from vi, that is
> We are all entitled to our beliefs. I merely outlined an argument for why I think how I do.

The point I'm trying to make here is that "It's hard to explain but his intention in much of his writing was coded. He would consistently use certain keywords and phrases to make certain associations and when you follow through the logic it becomes very sinister" does not, in fact, outline an argument. It merely asserts that "much of his writing" is "sinister" without making any argument for why - and you've now once again claimed "his writing is full of associations" ... without ever having named such an association.

There's no requirement to make such an argument, of course, but if you're simply going to state your beliefs with zero explanation then it would be preferable if you were up front about having chosen to do so rather than claim to have made an argument where none exists.

> and now cops have to read ‘Miranda’ rights to everyone they arrest.

This is a common misconception, but the requirement is not quite that broad. The police are not obligated to read you your miranda rights immediately upon request—it's possible that they might not at any point read you your miranda rights.

What they cannot do is begin to question or interrogate you if they do not read you those rights. Any questions they ask without having read you those rights are at risk of being thrown out in court. Police will usually interrogate people after an arrest, so will often read them their miranda rights. (Edit: I also found out that any spontaneous statements you make are also fair game, if they didn't ask a question or prompt the statement)

But, it's not an obligation for every arrest. If you are arrested the police might not read you your miranda rights, and your rights probably haven't been violated if they don't question you.

If you are ever arrested, and interrogated, DO NOT TALK TO THE POLICE BEFORE YOU CONSULT YOUR LAWYER. Never, ever, talk to the police without speaking with a lawyer first. Here's an excellent video that explains the reasons why better than I can. I highly recommend this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-7o9xYp7eE&t=4s
Makes me curious what stylometric analysis would say.
I don't know how you're reading all of that into my comment, but my point is that the members of a political party dedicated to shrinking government to nothing isn't going to do much work. That's the shrinking.

I totally understand you! I'm a software engineer since 2006 and even though I followed a classical career (in Eastern Europe), we (me, my wife and our daughter) were struggling financially for the first approx 9 years.

Buying a lottery ticket from time to te, when the prize was big, made us live in a fantasy world between the time we bought it and when te results were announced. I think this thing - imagining a life without financial worries, lavish vacations and expensive toys, motivated me to learn more, try to launch a few startups and sacrifice my free time in order to try and achieve greatness.

Were those money well spent? Definitely yes (even though I haven't actually won the lottery)
Republicans don't want to shrink the government any more than Democrats do.

Agreed the cost aspect of Moore's law may continue to remain true, especially with chiplets with varying fab nodes and 3d architectures.

You can be Jeff Dean or Linus or Guido -- but if you don't have 5-10 years in ALL of these then please don't waste our time or yours.

Between VLC, Snap and Ubuntu I'm seriously considering installing Windows - last time I did was Windows 98.

Given up trying to compile VLC thanks to usual the usual python mess (ImportError: No module named 'nasm')

VLC don't bother distributing debs any more, just these shit snaps.

In years gone by distributions used to do a good job of keeping systems healthy.

They no longer seem to care about the old way of doing that though, things like debs and make just aren't cool any more. Instead you have 160 different package managers all fighting each other, which you then install to update your build environment to install another package manager to build a new build system to eventually dig down to generate some shitty python crap which runs a gcc command.
I love the hack to lottery-fy savings.

Few comments:

1. Product: It in the wide spectrum anywhere between savings account <-> lottery. In your mind, is it closer to one edge vs. other?
- Per my read and based on the rate (0.2%) offered, it is closer to the lottery end

2. Web page: "Savings + rate >15-100x banks + Win $10 mil" is what could be a turn off. Depending on the answer above, fix the headline

3. math on how this works: Show ONE public account with $ (say median of all accounts on Yotta or $100 for simplicity) that you would fund and track it in realtime with APY

4. FAQ: Could be more direct. Yes, one will need a Yotta account

5. FAQ: "3rd party “A” rated insurance carrier": May help you if you can reveal who on your website & theirs too

6. FAQ: In one answer, it say 15x and in another it say 20x (Chase or Wells Fargo)

7. 7 digits = 10 ^ 7 #s: if one can get 1000 users with $250K each, is the $10 mil guaranteed? :)
