It covers less than 50% of the candidates, so is not really complete, but is a good effort.

In any case, facts say more than speeches. Politicians just say that their public is expecting, so there are a lot of cherrypick in the concept of having webs like these.

Examples: Covid is at the same time "very worrying and letal" or "nothing to be afraid of, the people wearing masks are pussy" depending on the public

To have a webpage comparing the speech of each candidate against himselves under different publics would be much more interesting.
Those aren't good interface ideas those are features that alot of trial and error and research went into.
Think of it like a new drug. Theres alot of R&D poured into these things. not on the same regulatory or financial scale but work goes into that. Facebook blocks the growth of these by copying wholesale and throwing it at its database of users so they never have to leave their ecosystem.

Look at what instagram has become from photosharing app to an everything platform that has a horrible UX.
I haven't worked anywhere that ordinary politics was discussed. I'm in uk though. I'd find it rude for someone to shove their political views in my face. It's fine for friends to discuss as I choose my friends not my colleagues.

What kinda of things are people talking about?
That's weird ... I've got hundreds of thousands of idiots scanning mine! (but they don't seem to be getting results).
I believe JumpCrisscross is suggesting that the World Food Programme winning the Nobel Prize is effectively the Nobel Foundation giving them 9m SEK to carry on their work (eg a grant) rather than awarding them the prize for the work they do to promote peace (eg a prize). I didn't read the comment as tongue in cheek at all. I read it as JumpCrisscross saying WFP didn't do enough to deserve the prize, presumably because tackling poverty and starvation isn't enough in JumpCrisscross's opinion.
I'm from Italy, my grandfather lived in Russia, during and soon after WWII.

I wasn't saying that Russia in the 90s was an happy place like the cocaine driven USA of the 90s.

Russia in the 90s was dealing with the ruins left by the regime.

I know of people that died because they poisoned themselves with home made vodka.

In Italy people were going crazy from all the novelties too, like any novelty people are attracted to them, you could see kids walking down the streets all dressed like Andre Agassi, all with the same haircut, even those that had no money to afford them, a friend of mine was caught many times stealing from the new mall that had recently opened in Rome.

It might surprise you, but the first mall in Rome was opened in 1989. Not so long ago.

It was fun at first, it soon became the most boring thing to do.

The first Mc Donald's in Italy was opened in Piazza di Spagna (Spanish steps) in 1987, 40 years after their first opening in the US.

The first Mc Donald's in Russia opened in 1990, not a lot of difference there.

Ironically, probably thanks to the strong US military presence, Germany had its first Mc Donald's in 1971.

There were people that saw one in Germany (probably agents from East Germany as well) 16 years before us.

Of course the difference is we could travel to US, there was no restriction for us to go there.

But on average people didn't know much about US culture up until the middle 80s.

We actually knew USSR a lot better than the US of A, just as an example see the story of Togliattigrad https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tolyatti

They mainly knew stories about their grandfathers who went to America between the two wars.

Most of them never came back, the only read about it from letters.

But what brought USSR down wasn't the discovery of the supermarkets, it was the war in Afghanistan that left the once powerful Eastern Block with no money and forced them to declare bankruptcy.
The fundamental way that an FPGA works (more or less) is to program the configuration registers with values that then determine the routing. One thing you could do is have multiple sets of these configuration registers, at process start you allocate one configuration to that process and set it up, from that point onwards you when you despatch instructions to the functional unit you do it along with the process configuration. So one process could be using the FPGA as a custom hashing function and another could be using it for some funky video IP. I'm not saying it's a guaranteed win but I think there are technical solutions that you could experiment with.
Okay this is like the worst example.

Everything you do does affect the environment around you. For example if you take a Bahamas trip, you are paying to generate tons of CO2. If you buy a diesel car, or just driving one, you're affecting the shared air as well.
I want to see if people notice this effect when they don't know it's artificially generated. I have a feeling that the uncanniness is at least part because you know it's fake.
Exactly. I've noticed two types of outrage most commonly voiced by the general population on the Internet:

- Outrage about things that have no bearing on their lives. That's, in a big part, continuous dramas about what a famous person said, or - if no celebrity said anything controversial this week - about what some random people are saying. This includes drama as spectator sports - like few people get offended at each other, but it gets magnified to a million-large audience, because everyone gets offended at an offense.

- Outrage about things that have bearing on their lives, but misguided and misdirected. Knee-jerk reactions to government decisions, as well as general politics, are a lion's share of that. This is the problem with simplistic views, that manifest on the social media. If you talked with any random person individually about an issue that affects them, you could likely help them reach a nuanced position - that takes into account second-order effects, and reflects the understanding that most policy decisions involve optimizing across the entire population. But on social media, almost all you see is repeating soundbites and arguing in circles.

To a large extent, both of those types I can confidently classify as manufactured by media, traditional and social alike. Not entirely intentionally - it's a bunch of feedback loops we're stuck in[0]. But the consequence is that exposure to the hivemind can easily drag you way past "declining faith in government", and all the way to idiocy.

--

[0] - Some of the pieces from which the loops are assembled: traditional media earns money through ads, so will systematically prioritize things that generate more pageviews. Algorithms on social media optimize for engagement, which also means promoting things people are statistically likely to engage with. Humans seem to have a natural tendency to pay attention to the gossips about people of highest status. Thinking is hard, knee-jerk reactions are easy. Soundbites are easier to digest and have more immediate emotional impact than well-thought-through, nuanced arguments. Add all that together, and you get a strong, sustained pressure to dumb down our social discourse.
After a (long) while it became clear it meant "there is only way that we might make the full use of the current pool of Java programmers", which is an odd argument to advance — why would they be entitled to draw from that pool of programmers. I think it would have been more compelling if he had focused on the interoperability with the ecosystem of Java libraries.

Plasma Mobile update: September 2020
Yeah, they have cameras and even ANPR in the UK. It's probably a easy one for police to deal with in most cases, often where someone has driven off accidentally, but anyone really trying to steal from them would presumably have the sense to use fake number plates.
This is great news and I like that Purism are announcing this. They had previously announced (I can't find it on their blog unfortunately) a flatpak based App Store which is hopefully soon to come.

What I miss: What is the developer story here? Their team , even though it had 2 additions recently, is not very big with 9 people who focus on software. Also they aren't particularily open as to what already works and does not work, which – as the Librem 5 is not widely available yet, nor thoroughly reviewed (still waiting myself, having a PinePhone though) – is a problem.

If you want to have an overview about which apps already exist, I maintain a list at https://linmobapps.frama.io.

It's not very good at monitoring the actual state of the apps and does not look to good. If you have ideas on how to (or want to help) improve it, please get in touch!
It's odd to talk about making it into an artificial reef as if that's a good thing here.

They didn't explain their exact cooling setup, but the explanation came off as someone with pretty limited experience in seawater cooling systems. In many, if not most, climates where all those people are living close to the water, aquatic life will wreak havoc on seawater cooling. 6 months is a decent estimate for reducing cooling capacity by half. Orkney Island probably has it a little better because it's a pretty cold location (not too familiar with SW temps in that region). The hull cleaning pictures in the article look much more favorable than what I've seen in various areas around the Pacific.
In Poland unions are strong only in state owned companies and public sector.

With more peace deals to come, by the way. Also he did not start any new wars, and started withdrawing US forces from the idiotic endless wars started by previous administrations. Donald Trump has done more for world peace than any US president since Reagan. It'd go further back than that, but Reagan defeated communism, which is pretty huge in itself.
I like these somewhat exaggerated readings of the extremes of consumer culture, were the central conceit is to read ads as if it's serious and ignore the centuries of context that tells us that a sales copy is so much bullshit.

I mean, it takes a very determined mind to come up with a sales pitch for that ridiculous scorpion chair outside of a sci-fi set, it doesn't look like something you easily get out of to got to the toilet.
Makes sense, enhance a dog's vision and he got scent and vision to see through the world into the abyss.
He did.

We do Scrum at my office. But really, it's just applying sprints to waterfall. We do get some shorter feedback loops to improve features before going live. But the whole scope is still set at the start of the project, and that scope needs to be completed at the end of it.

And to be very honest. It doesn't work if the people in the team don't think Agile. Your team needs to be able to self-reflect and try to improve themselves just as they'll do with client work in a sprint.
I'd question the notion of information, and how it used to be before free high bandwidth communications compared to now.

I feel we're sinking in a flood of noise dressed as information. There's more doubts and paradox of choice at every level. Add to this the fact that most people have only access to 'some' information .. they're not informed about some principles (like the paradox of choice) and will not be able to filter or integrate that much thus react on wrong information.

The old system was foggy and absolute truth was surely impossible but it feels structurally more sound to me.
Ah, another "everything is political" argument. Strangely, the "everything is political" crowd seems the most concerned with Coinbase's no-politics stance. It's as if they fear the policy will have a real impact. But shouldn't they know better? After all, the policy doesn't even make sense since everything is political.

Of course, I'm asking rhetorically. They know perfectly what it means and they don't like it.

To answer your question, no I don't believe "gay man talking about his wedding" will fall under what's not allowed to be discussed around a water cooler at Coinbase.
What is your goal here ? Do you want to build some software solution, open source it, start a company to solve a problem or what ?

Without more information about your goals and some more specifics on the problem domain I doubt you'll get much useful advice.
What is the Mac target audience if not "professional creatives" though (which got a late huge influx of developers who wanted a "UNIX machine that just works" when Apple switched from MacOS to OSX, and those are also the first to leave now). Maybe the market in the US is very different, but in Europe the Mac always used to be a "professional tool" for creating things. The way OSX/macOS has been going in the last decade alienates many of those users.

I struggle to see the point in that strategy. We're at a point where the 'average user' doesn't need a computer, since even cheap noname mobile phone are good enough for most things now. Why turn the Mac into an oversized mobile phone? This won't attract any new users who are happy with their phone, it just will drive away the people who bought a computer because it lets them do stuff that's not possible on a phone.

PS: My comment reads a bit snobbish, which wasn't my intention. I do believe that no actual "average user" (or "homogeneous" target audience) exists in the real world. Thus it doesn't make sense to create a single setup which targets such an "average user". Options, customization and (for some people at least) being able to poke into the guts of the system are important, and that's what Apple is taking away on macOS, and that's what makes macOS more and more unattractive.
There are a lot of different things but basically in Team sports its "easier" to get agreement on division of labor, on leadership, coordination and communication, individual strengths and weaknesses etc because the group has someone external to beat or atleast there is agreement on what a team "win" is.

So we try to nail that down and keep having conversations about it. It then has effect on how we coordinate, give and take, decide who leads etc

Without those conversations to provide some framework, it turns into a free for all, which reduces trust/faith in the group, esp when some new group or individual joins that have their own ideas and goals.

> What does it matter to the proletarians if a famous person (say an actor) says something pro or against Brexit (for example). You have your vote, you cast it and that's what really matters to your category: representation.

Sort of in agreement with you, but on this, I think there's good reason to be concerned with something like this. If people with social influence disagree with your position and are public about it, they are in a position to influence more people than you can, and your position is less likely to be heard/adopted/enacted/etc.

I'm not sure that's actually why people get upset/involved when famous people hold opposing views - I think it's probably something more visceral - but I can say I don't want views in opposition to mine to get amplified favorable treatment in the media.

Perhaps secondarily, people get upset with famous folks holding opposing views because it ruins our perceptions of them. We often think we 'know' famous people on some level, and when they break out of the model we have of them, it's bothersome.

I have working knowledge of Simulink. It has a learning curve to it. Getting a basic Simulink License could set you back by 3000$. Also, if you just want to design basic state machines for your project, why should you pay the steep fee they ask for. It's a great tool for modelling, simulation and what not. But what if you just want to design state machines for your project(not even simulate), why should you pay that amount for a single license?

QM again does a host of other things apart from state machine design. You have to work with their framework to get the work done and also getting the license is expensive.

You can design however you want in FsmPro. There is no model to adhere to. You can design state machines, talk to other state machines and just inlcude them in your projects with a single header file inclusion.

I make my argument clear in this piece: https://medium.com/@FsmPro/introducing-fsmpro-a-tool-built-w...:

You don’t even need to fear being shipped off to Siberia; judging by the news, the current administrations of both the USA and the UK are making people afraid to tell them the inevitable consequences of their decisions, and that’s just fear of losing their current jobs.

Show HN: Products with high user ratings selling within 5% of all-time low price
There are companies that have two career streams: technical and management. If you go down technical, you might become a principal engineer, etc. If you go down the managerial, you can pursue a director role. If you feel your company isn't offering that and is unlikely to, you can look for such companies.

Note however, I think a bit of management is inevitable as you become more senior. Being senior means you often have the knowledge and expertise to multiply your team's output through interactions beyond individual contribution. By this I mean, bringing senior expertise to the table when planning, being part of the long term strategy and roadmap discussions, involving the team, seeking out contribution for your projects, etc.
Just a little bit of trivia for other Stephenson fans: Anathem’s narrator is named “Erasmas.” This is a phonetic representation of the Greek “ήρωάς μας,” meaning “our hero.”
Sure, but Turkey and Egypt recognized Isreal in 1950 and 1979. Saudi Arabia/Iraq/Syria still do not recognize Israel.

In comparison, Bahrain and UAE are tiny countries that already had pretty normal relationship with Israel, just not very official.

So an achievement by POTUS, yes. But let's not oversell it.

The BBC is pretty close to the centre of political debate, for the UK. They always tend to be somewhat critical of government - the last Labour (centre-left) Govt thought them right wing, the current Govt complains they are left wing.

If you look at it from other countries, your view will be somewhat skewed by the Overton window of wherever you are from. The BBC would probably look hideously left wing when viewed from the USA, but very right wing when viewed from France.
Agreed. That's why I said "pissed them off even more" and didn't say "that's why they were pissed".
It is not the same to know something from a book or tv and experiencing it in first person. * Just ask any person from east Germany who went to the west after the wall came down. Even though they knew it all from tv etc, actually being there and seeing it themselves made a huge impression on everybody. After that the communist elites in the east were immediately powerless.

* I was one of those persons and I can assure you that it was very impressive and changed everything...
People have faith in things because they need to, not because those things work. This is why people refuse to accept that prayer doesn't work. This is why in the 50s governments were corrupt, incompetent, wasteful, racist (plus all the other prejudices imaginable) and yet people had huge faith in them.

When you live in a rural village and can't really communicate or interact beyond the village, you NEED to believe there is a government out there keeping things working, keeping the enemy away and running stuff. So you do.

When you get a mobile phone and need to complain about something and talk about how you're a self made person and how those bozos in <capital city> are IDIOTS, and it seems like you can access more resources by complaining louder, guess what you believe then?

That's a big part of the rise of neoliberalism: the modern economy requires us all to be self starters and entrepreneurial (or at least to switch jobs regularly and make out own way in the world). To do that, it really helps to think of government and other people as morons and obstacles and yourself the a randian hero of you're own story. So we believe that. Because belief isn't based on evidence, its based on utility.
