How could we be less tolerant than we are now, exactly? (Without human rights violations?)

From what I understand, the suicide attempt rate is about fifty percent in that population before transition, so I'd say we're doing a pretty good job of intolerance already.

One thing I find interesting about this topic is that as far as I know conventional wisdom says psychopathy is incurable, and comments here implicitly or explicitly seem to agree on this. Neuroplasticity, at least in my interpretation, says that there is an observable feedback loop between the biological structure of our brain and our thoughts/feelings/actions, ie. our "mind". If someone with characteristic of psychopathy, or any mental disorder labelled as incurable for that matter, consciously decides that he/she want to change his/her behavioural patterns then theoretically it is possible. Now, in a way all I did was rephrase my question into how conscious are we regarding our behaviour? Conscious enough to change it? :)

I'm guessing you're an introvert, right? It seems to me that most introverts experience social situations as "draining".
Even some self-employed people have to pay social insurance. Plus one can opt-in voluntary, it makes sense if one retires after a few years into normal job.

I intend no value judgement by the use of the word "predator", it's simply a technical term. I'm strongly in favor of predatory trading - it prevents institutional investors from screwing over the little guy by hiding big trades and forcing their counterparties to suffer the price impact.

I'm not implying that there is 0 market impact from trading odd lots. The market will adjust to the new information. It's just that the guy looking at the consolidated feed will not be making a profit by helping it adjust.

> In a select query, if you want to resolve that relationship in a join, you have to restate it as if the database knows nothing about it.

Okay, I see what you are saying. So, what you'd like is something like NATURAL JOIN that instead of using matching column names to infer join conditions it would use declared FK relations. That would be convenient -- but possible complicated by the possibility of multiple different FKs from one table to another (though the syntax could involve specifying the FK rather than the target table, which would solve that.)

e.g., if you had

CREATE TABLE emp (
emp_id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
manager_id INTEGER FOREIGN KEY REFERENCES emp JOIN AS manager,
hr_rep_id INTEGER FOREIGN KEY REFERENCES emp JOIN AS hr_rep,
name VARCHAR(50),
...
);

You could do something like:

SELECT emp.name AS "Employee", manager.name AS "Manager"
FROM emp
NAMED JOIN emp.manager;

>the culture were less supportive of those lifestyles.

Perhaps you mean if culture were more supportive of those lifestyles, in adulthood? The best time to experiment is as a teenager - we should encourage that, explore now so your adult decisions are made without hesitation. Not allowing experimentation is how we end up with so much teen suicide, where teens are experiencing confusion and oppression.
There is zero evidence in the NYT article that started this discussion that any NSA surveillance directed at EU antitrust bureaucrats would benefit US software companies.

The particular EU antitrustocrat was involved in decisions relating to many other firms that FedGov might find of interest, including Gazprom, Citigroup, JP Morgan, HSBC, ICAP, ISI, UMG, EMI, Panasonic, Toshiba, Intel.

I'm not defending use of the NSA's surveillance apparatus for economic espionage; in fact, I'd be happy to see all relevant FedGov employees fired, denied their pensions, and prosecuted if that's true. What I'm saying is simply let's not assume software companies are the beneficiaries when there may be legitimate reasons to spy on companies like Gazprom, which is controlled by the Russian government and likely the largest natural gas extractor in the world.

You could try building a custom PC into a hard-shell travel case.

I tried that, many years ago. I'll be the first to admit I'm not especially good at working metal, so it was somewhat crude. Keeping everything safely in place inside, and ensuring sufficient thermal flow ended up too much of a challenge for me. The thing only ran stably when I left it open, and eventually a heatsink came loose during travel. Might be easier with today's more efficient/better designed components, and with a bit of hindsight. Still, very much a major project.

I believe there are also ITX or micro ATX cases that can accommodate a 400+ watt PSU for powering a GPU in that range.

Every 6-12 months I review the market on these. You can indeed get ITX cases which will take a graphics card. Generally, the form factor is the "cube" kind (well, square-ish front face), around 20x22x35cm. (~15 litres) I find this much harder to transport safely (e.g. by packing clothes around it in a suitcase) than the flat, "VCR-shaped" arrangement, with the graphics card on a 90° riser. The ones on the market also tend to waste space on optical drives, multiple hard drive bays, etc. and often have external PSUs (not necessarily a bad thing, but often they don't make the case any smaller).

The Steam Machine prototypes are apparently only around 7.5x31x31cm. That's less than 8 litres, including the PSU.

Last time I looked into this was in Spring, so maybe things have improved since then. Specific suggestions welcome.

I started implementing a few of these (and lots of others) ideas, and the issue isn't coming up with what to do, it's doing it intelligently. I have a small side project where I'm playing with AST rendering and the details are usually where you get tripped up.
I love reading the annual report this team sends out every year. It's smart to use tools like mailchimp, google analytics etc. What about something like optimizely? Also, I assume there's the ability to use the startups own tools for automated data collection?
"Do you have a source for that?"

Yeah, I get the reason for asking that, but as a question, its rather devalued these days as far as the US and its TLA's are concerned. Given the disturbing unrestrained scope of US spying its reasonable to start with the assumption that the US has stolen any information that exists and used it to promote itself at the expense of even its allies. Problem is, when the likes of the NSA boldly claim to be able to access literally anything, anywhere, we must assume that all information and data are compromised. Doing anything different would be negligence.

Now the USA is in the same position Iraq was prior to the illegal invasion. It now has to prove a negative. Here is why:

Iraq was accused by the US and its lap dogs of having WMD (which incidentally was redefined to stitch up Iraq. Prior, WMD was understood to mean nukes. It got re-defined to mean bio and chem), and was expected to prove that it did not have them, or face the consequences. It failed in US eyes, and the US responded by killing many thousands of Iraq's people in its OTT invasion of "shock and awe". This was impossible as it is impossible to prove a negative. Iraq could not win in any way. Now, I think, the rest of the world, including its allies, would be reasonable in suspecting the US of having anything it likes in data terms, and must now prove it has not in order to regain any level of confidence. The US has to prove that it has not literally stolen money, IP, and business form non US companies by using stolen data to its advantage. The US has been stinging in its fines for banks acting illegally and defrauding government and public, acting like a moral god. Well, the same standards must apply to the US. If the US cannot prove its innocence, the rest of the world has every right to act in response. Unfair, and very difficult, but the US did set that standard. Like Iraq, the US must now some how prove its innocence. Or admit to its wrong doing.

The UK had no defence here either. We conspired in this. And I as a UK voter would like to know what we got out of it. Or did the US steal our information too? I wonder what Aussies and Kiwis think. Are we willing partners who knew what was really going on, and getting something valuable out of it, or were we all duped by the Americans?

Also, given the fact that the NSA is government organisation, it could be argued that what the US has engaged in is literally an act of war. There for its reasonable for countries like Germany, or regions like the EU, to investigate the US and if found guilty, demand reparations.

IMHO, its getting close to cards on table time, or the US get treated like an outcast.

Or, do we do what we always do, and ignore it?

I say it time to take a stand. If we dont, we all might as well make our countries US states and be done with it.

I've also had plenty of false positives, but my bank (Bank Of America) has caught multiple actual fraudulent charges.

Here in IL the BCBS individual insurance offerings are ~25% lower than equivalent group policies.

Our agent says this is the first time this has happened, but it is likely to continue for the next few years as Obamacare sorts itself out.

Since a portion of your medical expenses (including premiums) can be tax deductible anyways at the end of the year, the "pre-tax dollar advantage" isn't what it used to be.

In addition, our group plan (United) instituted 48 age bands (up from 10) which drastically increased the premiums for all the older people.

We wound up dropping the group coverage altogether and went with individual BCBS plans.

Obviously the new law forcing individual insurance to accept any pre-existing conditions and not be able to drop your insurance at-will also made this option more attractive than in the past.
I still have no idea what you're trying to say. I don't have an abundance of trust for psychopaths, pedophiles, or crack dealers. I've worked very closely with psychopaths (one was also a pedophile) in an institutional setting in the past. I had to assume that every interaction was a manipulation. Even being extremely careful, it was easy to get caught from time to time particularly when I was understaffed (i.e. 1 staff to 3 clients).

Reading the top parent of this thread was very interesting because he was thinking in exactly the way I had been conditioned to think at that time in my life.

When a person in your life lies to you or manipulates you, you will certainly begin to question the value of other interactions from that person. Once you have confirmed that the person has a personality type that makes them particularly likely to lie or manipulate (compulsive liars, psychopaths, criminals, what have you), you must be careful about your interpretation of any communication. But here's the real difficulty: If a psychopath is trying to manipulate you and knows that you are conscious of it, the manipulations morph. They adapt to your particular defense. In the institutional setting, they're in it for the long haul so they don't mind missing a couple times. In fact, getting caught is often part of the manipulation.

I wandered off my initial topic here so I better wrap it up.
Quoting from Wikipedia: 'Additionally, studies suggest inverse relationships between psychopathy and intelligence, including with regards to verbal IQ' (but later it's stated that such correlation is not unanimously accepted).

I think we mostly are in agreement; I think the impulsive and antisocial tendencies of the psychopath are often self defeating and only the very intelligent navigate life successfully. We end up having a selection bias because we are likely to cross paths only with the latter subtype, so we end up believing that all psychopaths are superintelligent and verbally dazzling, while probably the majority of them is badly dull.
I am too naive...

There are mechanisms that nation-states have used to free people imprisoned in other nation-states without the cooperation of the imprisoning nation-state -- they frequently, however, have significant repercussions in the relations between the nation-states that make it inadvisable for a less-powerful nation-state to use them against a more-powerful one even if they have the capacity to acheive short-term success.

I really like the idea of applying big data to startups and helping them do benchmarking with other startups. It would be interesting to see the results or case studies of how some startups have benefitted from this data. I understand this might be too soon to make that inference, but might be something to keep in mind for near future.
I don't even know how to read this. You are happy that society forced you to "cure" yourself?

If a little social pressure was all it took to get you to ignore your "inclinations" I doubt you're on the same spectrum of inclination that the OP finds herself. You also probably shouldn't think that other people with the same inclinations would be as easily influenced by the mere lack of support for the "lifestyle".. which again implies choice rather than certainty.
I'm with you on the interoperability, if anyone in the world should understand and be 100% completely behind that, it should be coders and makers of code tools. If we don't demand it and require it, then it's pretty hopeless for the rest of the tech world.
Do you really believe the two are comparable?

Anti-choice protesters have assaulted women trying to get low cost health care, have murdered doctors, and have aligned themselves against the poorest, least powerful people in this country (poor women of color). Recently, a pro-life group distributed a message suggesting pretending to provide rides to women needing health care, but actually kidnapping them and taking them to a church. This is crazy shit, and some of them are terrifying people.

I also believe you're misrepresenting the state of affairs. Anti-choice protesters can protest right outside of clinics on sidewalks, streets, etc. At least in my state, they can. And, I've not seen much in the way of police violence against anti-choice protesters. I haven't seen police setting up anti-choice protesters and encouraging them to commit violent acts. Maybe this is happening, and I just don't know it, because I'm not in those circles (I think it's assumed here in this thread that I'm left wing, but that's not really accurate; though I am firmly pro-choice). I know it isn't happening in my state, however, as I saw it with my own eyes. Pro-choice groups were stalked by police, while pro-life groups were ignored even when they became aggressive and got physical.

Anyway, I've never asked for pro-life activists to be silenced. I do think that if they physically prevent someone from getting medical care, they are violating that person's basic rights. I also find it particularly reprehensible that they target the poorest and least powerful people. Wealthy white women get abortions all the time at places other than Planned Parenthood or other free and low cost clinics; but, pro-life groups would rather harass the weak and poor, who are often just needing birth control or medical services unrelated to abortion.

In 2004 when I was working in Seattle, in the course of a year there were three accidents on 5th and Battery that were exact mirrors, IE: car going too fast, hits a pedestrian on the same corner. I don't remember the first, the second a German tourist was killed, and the third my co-worker and I were walking to lunch over at the Two Bells. She was hit. I'm not a superstitious or religious person, but something just didn't seem right and I lingered a few seconds on the curb and jumped back just in time - good or I'm sure we would have both been killed. Luckily she survived, and I'd even say it was a (positive) catalyst in major life changes for her - she made a job change, moved to a different city, took up new hobbies, got in shape, etc. After the event, I'll just say that: a) the city of Seattle is completely negligent in not fixing the traffic flow in that spot, b) the Seattle Police Department is truly evil (their handling of the "investigation" afterwards was appalling) and c) you will never erase the image of a car hitting a co-worker / friend/ other human being from your memory. Work is a good thing and should be fulfilling, but something like that is a good reminder that work is just one part of our life.

Actually, getting company stock from a company in the form of a cryptocoin could be a really elegant idea. The key is having a system that allows holders of stockcoins to claim a dividend payment in the form of the delivery of some other cryptocoin. So turning a blockchain into a stockpool could lead to some really interesting use cases. I think in China bitcoins are regarded as an asset and not a currency. Stockcoins expands on this notion. Thanks for bringing it my attention. This might be the next big thing I was thinking of.. I was just mistaken in wanting the stockcoins to be used within the company for internal commerce: I don't think that's wholly necessary, although intracoins are another interesting idea, they don't necessarily need to double up as stockcoins.

The key is having one blockchain with multiple stockcoins from multiple firms, but I don't think that's possible. It'd have to be 1 blockchain, 1 company, multiple stockcoins. Stockcoinmarket.com .. the future of equity, where companies go to get (and payout) cryptocoins for their stockcoins.

Seems like it would be the same as any other secret program and continue fairly unabated. Open R&D, as is 90% of basic research, would certainly stay the same as there would be no need for espionage in those cases.

You might be right, but you seem to accuse the writer of a hidden agenda because he tries to gain the sympathy of the reader. If he didn't try at all, would you see callousness and cold detachment (and therefore a psychopathic trait) in this? What would constitute for you a honest, non-manipulative account of the same facts described in the post? How should it have been written to be consistent with the 'psycho no more' scenario?
