18 Signs Economists Haven’t the Foggiest
Sorry, my point was not to get into a popularity pissing match. I do believe popularity and quality are largely unrelated.

What I meant is, since most people have stopped teaching with Smalltalk, it's really hard to do the kind of research I'm talking about! We had no trouble doing it for Racket because we were able to get lots of data and from it measure for statistical significance.
I don't get it - I've read through the discussions regarding this whole move, and it was handled in what I would see as the most sensible manner:

1. Article renamed to "Chelsea Manning" within minutes of first announcement.

2. Article moved back and forth over a couple of hours as various contributors disagree.

3. Request for discussion submitted by a user to move back to initial title, on the basis that controversial or unexpected page moves should be discussed or consensus reached before happening.

4. A week or so of discussion results in the conclusion that the page should be left with the initial title for at least 30 days, when a new proposal should be submitted for discussion.

5. New proposal raised as suggested.

6. Subsequent discussion takes place and decision is made to rename article.

7. Article is renamed.

What I see in this blog post is a bunch of petty ad-hominem attacks by somebody who's pissed they didn't get their own way. I don't think that amounts to the obviously incorrect and purposefully misleading title "Wikipedia goes all-in on transphobia."

Wikipedia is a massive, sprawling bureaucracy - it's true. There are petty rivalries and fiefdoms, and this blog demonstrates that clearly (although perhaps not from the perspective the writer intended.) But I don't, on the whole, see a massive problem in evidence. It's pretty much just excessive melodrama of the sort which one sees whenever a large group of people try to govern themselves, and it'll either sort itself out or Wikipedia will fall and something else—probably something that makes a better attempt at solving the bureaucracy problem—will take its place.
The dictionary mixes them too, then.

woman |ˈwo͝omən|
noun ( pl. women |ˈwimin| )
an adult human female.

And so does the author of that post - I looked at the talk page and it says "female" all over the place. You're proving my point.

If those two words did in fact have the distinct meanings you imply, that would solve some of the problem.
As a kid, I knew what the back tank did just based on observation. I am so glad I learned that I knew about 50% of how it actually worked. TIL this was a great simple design.
It's "deeply hurtful" to refuse to accept someone's gender identity. Transgender people aren't some transformer robots that are one gender on day and another gender the next, so trying to pinpoint a date before which you use the wrong pronouns is really weird.

No, the point is that if someone who's a member of an recognized marginalised group says they are offended in a way members of that marginalised group are allowed to be offended, you have to listen and apologise.

For instance, telling a woman who's been raped by a man that she was asking for it and should stop complaining is both politically incorrect and an awful thing to do. Doing the same to a cis man is still awful, but since he's not a member of the relevant marginalized group it's actually politically incorrect to object to it under some circumstances. Likewise, telling anti-rape campaigners that they're only doing it to get revenge on the gender that raped them is politically correct if they're male victims and politically incorrect if they're female ones.

Similarly, if a woman who's been raped by a man is using her experiences to advocate for rape prevention campaigns aimed solely at men, it's an attack on her personal experiences and therefore politically incorrect to question the merits of her campaign. On the other hand, if a woman who's been raped by a woman is calling for campaigns that include women, even though she's a member of the right group that's not an appropriate use of her experiences and so she's fair game for everything up to and including deliberately triggering her PTSD to get her to shut up.

Decency and empathy barely enter into it.
The idea is to join your offline and online worlds. Maybe you don't remember if you had that file on your desktop or google drive or dropbox or ubuntu one. The unfortunate part is that online searches were launched with just Amazon, which makes it look like a money grab, when it was intended just to help the user keep their worlds in order. More online scopes will launch soon, and it'll be a lot more obvious that this is just trying to make your life better.

Yes, Canonical also makes a tiny bit of money for the Amazon integration, but that was not the driving factor behind the feature as a whole. There will be more online scopes to come, and the hope is to make your life easier, by not having to remember exactly where you put all your stuff.

Also, you can easily turn off all online searches with a single toggle inside Settings -> Security and Privacy -> Search.

Canonical knows there is a lot of heat around the feature, and they're not ignoring that, despite what it may seem like from the outside.
The fact that the author is one of the main developers on the Play Framework means that he should be even more gracious towards the framework/design he is comparing Play against, otherwise he and his project comes off as comparing their project against weak strawmen.

Sure, Play has some nice concepts - but the fact that it's built in Scala (and that there is a Java API) means that all of the things that it makes possible are also possible in plain old Java! So this isn't a performance comparison by any means, but rather a "look at what you can do in similar amounts of code" comparison, which is a pretty shallow comparison.

Check out the author's previous post where he concludes that Scala is faster than Java (whatever that means, the whole concept seems to ignore the fact that Scala compiles to JVM bytecode) was 18% faster (on a single execution? average execution? author doesn't say): https://jazzy.id.au/default/2012/10/16/benchmarking_scala_ag...

If it's after 4 am, hotels won't even rent you a room (too close to checkout time, they say. And why can't they just let you check out at say, 6? Or a steady 15 hours after checkin?).
Your recounting doesn't really do justice to the manner in which those discussions happened, or the apparent bias of the arbitration committee, which is much more the point of the article than those numbered bits you're summarizing.
I agree that globalist policies are the problem. Specifically, globalists trying to shove them ("it's good for you!") down the throats of a public that isn't on board.

> If we agree that free flow of commerce benefits us as a society and trade protectionism is harmful

That's not a premise we get to assume. It's for voters to decide. State sanctioned liberalism is anti-democratic to the extent it's not driven by voters, and so is actual liberalism, to the extent it is achieved by preventing voters from enacting protectionist policies.
Developers who don't do something that would give them incredible performance and resilience because "it requires a lot of boilerplate" are bad developers.
Let me preface this by saying that I in no way mean the following to be insulting or condescending: I think this is a very naive view.

Connection and passion for an industry is not a prerequisite for success. Passion comes and goes, both in intimate relationships and professional ones. Passion in your life is something you nurture and develop over time, and with the right set of mental habits and the appropriate circumstances, you can fall in love with something after you've chosen it. I tend to suspect anyone who discounts business people from the tech industry of not fully understanding what business people do and the value that they provide, and so defaulting to gut instinct based on projections of their own feelings.

As for hoping that tech can survive this dilution effect, what is tech? Do you mean the technology community, which for the most part is very segregated between engineering and sales and operations? An influx of business-minded people isn't likely to affect the engineering side of the community. If you mean technology companies, they will continue to hire the talent they need, and if anything a greater supply of talented individuals is a good thing.
In the past few months, I have found the relative simplicity of vert.x trump play where ever an asynchronous framework needs to be used. And for everything else, there is the Servlet API.
Sure, now that Walmart has crushed those businesses, it can afford to pay a little more than they can.
That's pretty fascinating. (static) Type inference based on tests sounds like an ill-posed problem, or at least one that can't produce human-meaningful annotations. That is to say, If one function has spec A for a generic parameter, and another function has spec B, it doesn't seem like it's possible to generate in general the spec for their composition in "closed-form".

Like, what's the type spec of "map" where the monad argument is a list of even numbers and the function to be lifted maps numbers to uppercase strings? It doesn't seem like we can meaningfully talk about the "type" of the function's result with any sort of specificity beyond List[String] or maybe List[String[Uppercase]], even though the real type is quite a bit more specific. 

How does inference work downstream of this point? Can we get reasonable errors before run-time?
"""It's worth reiterating that for all the obvious destructive power of sustained wind speeds of almost 200mph, it was the associated storm surge – the rush of water into coastal areas – which caused the worst damage in Tacloban, and most likely many of the deaths. The storm surge in Tacloban was estimated at 6m, sweeping away even concrete buildings, and bringing the sort of devastation so reminiscent of the Indian Ocean tsunami."""

The primary constraint seems to be infrastructure to evacuate and shelter people. Reliable forecast of storm surge location and magnitude would save lives by allocating those resources to the correct places. Doing this well involves improved simulation methods, but also designing observational strategies, such as where to make more accurate measurements of bathymetry (one of the leading sources of uncertainty in storm surge and tsunami prediction). Disclaimer: I work in a related field and have colleagues that develop methods for storm surge forecast.

Did you actually read the link?

"The Texas Department of Family and Protective Services had itself been an object of reports of unusual numbers of poisonings, death, rapes and pregnancies of children under its care since 2004."

"Texas Child Protective Services was hit with a rare if not unprecedented legal sanction for a "groundless cause of action" and ordered to pay $32,000 of the Spring family's attorney fees. Judge Schneider wrote in a 13-page order, "The offensive conduct by (CPS) has significantly interfered with the legitimate exercise of the traditional core functions of this court.""

Suuuure, the only reason people object is because they want to be able to beat their children. Yeah right.

I'm not trying to dismiss anything, or claiming to be anything other than a layperson. I'm trying to say that, as that layperson, I find the language we use to be very counter-intuitive, confusing, and fraught with obvious potential for conflict.

And yes, I am sure in certain circles this issue has been discussed for years, but I would say Manning's case is the first time a lot of people have thought about these issues.
That's not the point. He's saying the site is critical of Canonical and Ubuntu, and he's fine with that. "Sucks site" was just a shorthand.
I agree, any tool must be used correctly.

I feel comfortable saying there is a right not to be abused, even if it is not enshrined in the US Constitution. The dividing line between offensive and abusive is murky and grey, but I still believe there is a line to cross, and that it is desirable not to.

I support the Wikipedia anti-battleground policy. It creates a better community and reduces flame wars. Think of an HN where every comment where written for a productive and positive discussion, and one would describe a welcoming and friendly community. This is the goal of the Wikipedia policy.

Philip Sandifer comments defined anyone who disagreed with him as being "virulent hatred of transgendered people" and writers of hate speech. Such broad statements, regardless of how much he believes in it, does not bring a positive discussion.

There were worse offenders on that discussion. People who made hate speech statements, people who were extremely offensive, people who have no business in a clam, polite, and friendly discussion. And, to be extremely clear, it is a pity that the banning of Philip got lumped together with those people. The two events has nothing to do with each other, other than maybe creating some mitigating circumstance for Philips defense. This defense was brought up in the arbcom case, but was not considered enough. Thats the story here.
yea it have :)
And a good portion of that news was "check out this interview with a Swedish couple saved from the wave" sort of stuff.
According to the U.S. Geological Survey a total of 227,898 people died. Measured in lives lost, this it was one of the ten worst earthquakes in recorded history, as well as the single worst tsunami in history. Indonesia was the worst affected area, with most death toll estimates at around 170,000. However, another report by Siti Fadilah Supari, the Indonesian Minister of Health at the time, estimated the death total to be as high as 220,000 in Indonesia alone, giving a total of 280,000 casualties.

It is also the fifth deadliest natural disaster since 1900.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_natural_disasters_by_de...

A large proportion of those killed were children.

There were no deaths in The Philippines from the tsunami.

Publishers do provide editorial service. If an author writes a book in a year, there're more than 2 years of editorial process before the initial writing becomes a consumable.

Books aren't like software where you can release often and iterate. Think about your weekend prototype project. And how much effort it takes to make it into a "successful" start up. For books, you put all the effort before printing. And that effort to turn a prototype into a profitable product is what publishers provide you. And many publishers are really good at that.

Of course with ebooks and tablet, you can start thinking of a book as software: an interactive multimedia thingy that can be updated often. You are welcome to innovate this digital medium. But we are not there yet.
This article presents typical left-wing German point of view to the point of predictability. As a dual Polish/US citizen I understand and can relate to a lot of this what the article author says, but on the other hand what is striking in German liberal left is this: world is nice, safe place and any indications of terrors done by communists, or terrorists, etc. are widely exaggareted. I remember how I lived in Communistic Poland and during the Martial Law imposed by Communist Generals in 1980s Reagan not only called them Evil, he also started helping Polish resistance including food donations. I was one of these little kids really grateful for American food I got through a local church courtesy of the Paranoid US Tax Payers. Thank you for that guys. I still remember this tasty yellow cheese. Will never forget it. At the same time the West German political class was downplaying the Martial Law in Poland and refuse to criticize Polish GOvernment trying to "understand". And I see they continue doing this stupid thing. On the other hand after WW2 there were some extreme changes in German society. Pacifism uber alles instead of Deutschland uber Alles. And this is stereotypical article in that sense. In the sense of "All Germans and pacifist to the point of imposing danger on themselves and others".

On the other hand I sincerely believe that the US is way over the top with the reaction to 9/11. The terrorists wanted to destroy our fundamental liberal freedoms. By taking away those freedoms the uS Government seems to be confused on which side it is really fighting for.
The last time I looked at Peercoin, it also appeared to be designed so that people with more coins in effect accrued a higher rate of interest on them due to a subtle quirk of the inflation algorithm. That may have been fixed since then though.

I "lived" (slept) in my truck, which has a custom cap made for the purpose, for four months this spring. It's not a cheap way to live. It takes fuel to get food, to take a morning dump, to go to a place to park for the night. If you're not somewhere you can cook, you're stuck with carry out. Still, it was an experience I in no way regret. I learned a lot about myself, which, for me, is a spiritual thing. (See other comment about "Sleeping the American Dream).
Here are some tips: Pennsylvania numbered roads (PA & US) all have pull-over spots; I was never once harassed by the police in these places. The Potomac River, due to the National Park proximity, is absolutely to be avoided. Interstate rest stops are only good for one night at a time. There are also what I call "late in - early out" spots everywhere: bars with off-street parking, hotel lots, repair garages, state forests with hunters parking. A little imagination will give you other ideas.
I've over-stayed my welcome with a friend (while I developed an idea that I could not seem to market successfully.) and will be back to daily pay ($42 a day) and sleeping in my truck for the winter. Its not really that bad. It can actually be an adventure at times; it all depends on your attitude.
I would think they'd be more offended by you saying they have a disorder than people struggling over the correct pronoun.

"I've heard a lot about crime occurring in Walmart parking lots, does this have any effect?"

My parents RVed around the country when they semi-retired and occasionally got stuck at walmart (Reservations? Sir I am sorry but I have no record of you ever having made reservations... etc)

Real criminals like empty lots and good numerical odds, so its extremely dangerous to be in a deserted shopping mall lot completely alone except for the crooks at 3am, or at a park all alone, or anything like that. Its not just walmart, some campgrounds are pretty sketchy during the empty work week. On the other hand trivial "crime" is much worse at walmart if by crime you mean "turned the radio up a little too loud at 8pm to cover sound of having sex" which might technically be a noise violation, but its not exactly armed carjacking or murder.

RVers talk a lot to other RVers and from what I heard from my parents, the culture is very bovine, stay in the herd for safety. The more people in the lot sleeping, the safer the lot is by definition. You have to have serious guts, or be a police sting, to be the only vehicle in the lot.

I would imagine the homeless are about the same. They want/need a good nights sleep and a screaming crime victim is not going to help them sleep, so there's more than a little self policing. There's ten guys here sleeping every night, and tonight there's one outsider checking door handles and prowling, well, there's going to be ten really pissed off guys if the interloper succeeds, so you do the math on what happens to the one interloper...

There is also a lot of bias in that RV national park touring means visiting civilized rural areas not uncivilized urban areas. So that means a lot of hunters and concealed carry and an armed society is a polite society and all that stuff. So a rural Idaho walmart parking lot where 10% of the people carry is likely near infinitely safer than a Chicago walmart in the bad part of town where all the victims are disarmed. As such my parents experience visiting national and state parks may not be representative of urban ghetto walmart parking lots. The experience of a cow herd in the presence of wolves varies greatly if some random selection of the cows have razor sharp teeth and pointy horns vs a herd where everybody knows all the cows are completely defenseless so go have as much "fun" as you want.
After reading more of the August discussion I agree with you.
The controversies linked in the Wikipedia article seem pretty ho-hum for an organization the size of the Red Cross. Stuff like credit checks of volunteers, following the FDA's (stupid) rule on blood from homosexual males, a dispute with Johnson + Johnson, etc. hardly support the allegation of mass corruption in the group.
I was in a conference in Singapore recently and found myself chatting to some guys from Manila. When I - of course - asked them if they'd read Cryptonomicon, they all but rolled their eyes! Apparently they got asked that all the time. They hadn't read the book - the language is a bit dense, I admit - but were under the impression it was massively popular amongst hackers of a certain variety, which I suppose it is.

It's a fantastic book. I probably re-reread it once a year.
Maybe they need to liquidate part of their holdings to:
