You're just going to end up (as tptacek has already done) with people talking past each other about different definitions of what GG is, what it isn't, what gaming is, what gaming isn't, whether or not rape and death threats are inherently sexist or threatening, and so on and so forth.

Nice derail.
Yeah, I'm sure there are exceptions lurking around – the world is too big not to be – but I'd also be surprised if those lingering remnants were in widespread, internet-facing use.

Doesn't relativity "solve" this this problem if we can reach near lightspeed, and don't mind it being a one way trip?
I should refresh myself sometime soon but from memory of my training there is an element of "appropriate position" involved in the back blows technique. It can work in any position but there is a "safest" one that should be used if the situation allows for it. From memory the position involves leaning them forward as far as practicable. They still discuss the Heimlich manoeuvre, but advised us all that, like putting a dislocated shoulder back in its socket, it seems simple enough but there is much room for things to go wrong.
And is that my fault or is it the fault of the coverage of GamerGate?

It's true Japanese aren't very accepting of immigration, historically --and having to be blood to be a true national is a bit of an odd theory for citizenship; however, unless they (or anyone else) devise an alternative to neo-liberal capitalism which provides a decent living for its population while that population is in decline, the Japanese may have to reconsider their position on immigration.

> ...how deserving his targets are when he does let loose...

I think I see the problem here.

I don't follow the Linux community that deeply but I've read one of his rants which was belittling and insulting to a volunteer maintainer and the context behind it didn't justify the abuse in my opinion. If you don't appreciate their code, get rid of them. They're probably not trying to intentionally screw up. And if they are, tell them it's not working out and stop working with them.

P.S. Would be interesting if "Gaming is misogynistic" folks decide to focus on the Linux community. I can almost see the headlines: "Linux users are dead!"
See, you paint people with a broad brush, and now I think you're one of those people who don't bother thinking before they post in a mean way because "fuck you got mine" and "karma to burn".
We are all Irish in this thread! (Geary here.)

Going back to your comment a couple of levels above, I think it would be wonderful if more designers could produce their designs in a form that's closer to to the end environment instead of Photoshop and tools like that.

Of course there is something to be said for people specializing in what they're good at, while also listening to others with complementary skills.

It seems like it would be a good idea for a design team to have an embedded developer involved in the design process from the beginning. (I mean a developer "embedded" in the design team, not an embedded systems developer.)

In a web design shop, this would be somebody who could make the jQuery plugins or whatever libraries/utilities are needed to implement, or at least do a proof of concept of the trickier parts of the designs. Have a fancy transition in your design and don't know if it can work and not be janky? Then it's your team's responsibility to not only provide the design, but the basic jQuery plugins to demonstrate that it works and give the main dev team a head start on it.

Maybe I'm speculating on this because it sounds like the kind of job that would be fun for me. As long as the designers treated me like an equal member of the design team and not just "their coder." :-)

Matt had a shirt on with women similar to WWII bomber girls, fully clothed in 1940s/1950s style corsets or as Rose Eveleth and her foaming at the mouth outraged Twitter followers say they are naked women.

Some people get outraged at nothing these days.
Totally agree (another uruguayan here :)
Yeah. It's not actually complicated, but I don't know if you could express it more simply. The "kind" of a type of an actual piece of data is represented with an asterisk. Higher kinded types, then, are thought of as (curried) functions from types to types.

So we have:

Integer :: *
String :: *

Set :: * -> *
Set Integer :: *

Map :: * -> * -> *
Map Integer :: * -> *
Map Integer String :: *

You can say things like "a type function that takes 3 arguments", but that makes it harder to express things like

StateT :: * -> (* -> *) -> * -> *
Interestingly, the length of the "sucks" list is seemingly directly proportional to how frequently it's used.
You ever notice how people telling you "how it is" with economics stuff give you vague analogies rather than statistics, because there isn't any evidence to any of it and everything is just theory mixed with opinion?

That's kind of like trying to improve performance in a piece of software without taking any profiling data. Sure, you can find some coincidences that might prove your theory about what's wrong, you might even improve things if you are really lucky. But for the most part, you're just engaging in an essentially masturbatory activity.
Whenever two objects are in relative motion to one another, they each perceive a time dilation taking place at the other object. The flow of time is directly linked to the relative speed of an object. On an object that moves at the speed of light, time stands still. For more information on the mathematics, I refer you to the Lorentz transformation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorentz_transformation), but it's actually enough if you imagine that increases in speed are causing a decrease in the flow of time, the limit of that process has to be the velocity at which the flow of time is zero.
I'm Uruguayan, and the picture you're painting is not quite accurate.

> There's laptops for all kids

This was indeed a great achievement, but not all kids, this is for the public (state) education.

> no taxes on tech companies

This is not like that, there are certain businesses that are exempt from certain taxes because of what they do, but that statemt is simply not true, and taxation in Uruguay is pretty pretty high, 22% VAT plus a very high income tax on basically everything plus all other sort of taxes.

In fact if you're a small tech company in Uruguay, taxation will be a heavy burden.

> free universal education and universal healthcare.

True, but they are completely understaffed and underpaid, the conditions in many of the public hospitals are deplorable, basically no one from upper middle class upwards uses it, you pay for public hospitals with taxes and pay for private sector hospitals.

What I'd like to "condemn to obsolesence" is this tired narrative that insists that emacs needs to change to "get with the times." People were saying this when I starting using emacs in 2000, back when vi vs. emacs could still erupt into flame wars.

It's often suggested that Koreans in Japan are somehow deprived of Japanese citizenship. This is not true. Rather they are not allowed to naturalize in Japan while retaining their Korean citizenship (yes, I realize that is not the whole story and there is a lot of history there - nevertheless, there is nothing stopping a Korean who has lived in Japan long enough, or was born there, from acquiring Japanese citizenship if they choose). Many countries have this sort of policy yet somehow it's controversial when Japan does it.

That said, mass immigration is unlikely, as you say.

Sort of. While being on the move at extreme speeds you would take advantage of the local slow-down you're experiencing. Of course, a lot of time will still pass in the meantime both at the origin and the destination locations. I'd argue for the traveler it's subjectively not much different from being in a state of stasis while going at sub-relativistic speeds for thousands of years.

Public Health's New Tool Is Wikipedia
It is mentioned in the linked article. Since speed is always relative (to a frame of reference), Special relativity by definition proposes that, nothing can go faster than C. The article gives an example, if a spaceship is traveling at 0.6c, and another spaceship is traveling at 0.6c - away from first first ship. Their relative velocities are not 1.2c, but 0.8c (http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/physics/Relativity/SR/velocity...)
I was wrong, see edit below.

No, there is still an lower limit of 4.37 years to get to alpha-centauri within any frame of reference no matter how much you accelerate within conventional space.

What relativity does, is that if you travel close to speed of light time taken for the trip as measured on ship versus on earth could be different by many orders of magnitude.

edit: Was wrong, as per [0] "This is something many readers don't understand well, so it bears repeating: The journey times as experienced by those on the ship are not limited by the speed of light. Instead what they experience is the planetary reference frame getting relativistic."

Sorry that does seem confusing. Let me try to clear it up.

The point was that the main thing students should be doing -- getting an education, whether it prepares them for college or not was at the top of the list. Students being able to pick classes and specialize was not a top priority.

Then another point was that _optionally_ many had opportunity to further their interests by joining an external "club" or organizing one around the school. But these were optional and everyone did it if they wanted it. I didn't for example, my friends beleonged to a airplane modeling club and so on.

My argument was that the choice and ability to specialize starting in middle school as well as having to switch schools teachers, having different classmates every class is stressful enough and a uniform set of classes everyone takes is better. If anything just because it reduces the emotional stress of having to fit in different cliques or getting used to new schools and so on.

The reason I make personal annectodes is that I participated in both systems and can compare the two, based on how it felt for me.

Not to say I am extolling or saying all things were better and one should just copy that system of education -- there was lots of corruption and cheating or instance. But something I believe were better.

With pixel data, we have low enough resolutions that our thinking is biased towards the display device the majority of the time; we can author "pixel art" that expects the results to look square, or very close to square. And when we resize that art, we don't interpolate the color values(unless we want it to look like shit), we use a simple drop-sample or nearest-neighbor. But when we resize photographic images, suddenly we have a reason to do other things. Take for example this Stack Overflow answer on Lanczos resampling. [0] It describes exactly what you say we can't and don't use, but is actually used every day in Photoshop: a filter kernel that produces ringing artifacts on black-white patterns. As I allude to with the pixel art, it depends on the source content. When we get an image off of a camera, it's sampled in a way that assumes the pixels are points as impulses, and thus should be processed "as if" they are convolutions of the sinc function, even though the data itself is "just" points. Digital photographs always look blurry or noisy when examined pixel-by-pixel, and only form coherency to our eyes when viewed more distantly. For similar reasons, pixel artists can't downsample and process arbitrary photos and pass them off as legitimate pixel art, because the original content isn't designed towards the display of square or near-square pixels.

Its all about the design, shape and weight.

2) medium weight, low center of gravity

Ok. When you say 'how fast an object moves through time', you mean 'how fast time passes for a moving object, as seen from the inertial reference frame of another object'.

I regard objects as moving at the same speed through time - 1 second per second.
Large scale immigration is just passing the buck down onto a currently-poorer country. But poor countries aren't going to stay human-meat factories forever, and sooner rather than later someone is going to have to figure out a way to maintain an industrialized society with a stable population.

This is why patents are "short". To offset the monopoly.

It's why you hear pharmaceutical companies whine patents are strong enough, they need them longer. Automobile makers, aeroplane makers, ship builders, and "industrial" companies that make machinery and equipment rarely complain, they are pretty much ok with their duration, they might like them a little shorter but could take it or leave it. And on the other end if the spectrum we have software companies who are forced into the game because of consumer electronics companies (for whom perhaps something between 5-10 years would be best) taking patents on "features" they wanted to make as software... And the software companies pretty much want 0-5 years because this stuff is a all mostly math, or irrelevant, or under better protection by copyright, etc.

Patent limits were devised as a one size fits all solution not taking any of this diversity into account.
Here's the biggest underlying problem. Contrary to what one would expect, Japanese firms are actually flush with money, but due to Abenomics, the weakness of Yen means they are investing more and more abroad, rather than putting the resources in improving its own infrastructure. We all know about Softbank's recent investments in India and South East Asia. And it's not just limited to Tech or even the private sector, even infra firms are investing in troves abroad, especially in South East Asia. In a way the Japanese growth rate doesn't take into account the rent its entities are receiving from abroad. So the short term picture might actually be rosier than the numbers of would suggest.

The bigger problem is actually long term weaknesses that this trend will expose.

Another huge problem is consumer lending. Most Japanese banks are actually pretty stringent when it comes to lending to their own people. So even if low interest rates might encourage consumer borrowing appetite, there's very little supply out there. I think the PM and the central bank needs to address these, even if loosening lending might be contrary to what Japan has done in the past.

It's of course a matter of taste what expression sounds more fitting to you, precisely because time is such a fluid concept.

Personally, when I think about a neutrino for example, I'd say that neutrinos go crazy fast, and they experience time unimaginably slowly, so it feels more natural for me to think that velocity and time are tradeoff values of each other.
