"The consensus among professionals...Academia..."

I like the part where you have the gall to lecture people about what they themselves want to be called, using appeals to authority figures who are not themselves Autistic.

"Similarly, you should not have a problem with the majority of people with autism preferring "person with autism"

Except that the majority of Autistic people prefer being called Autistic people, rather than having an integral part of their personality and neurology erased or medicalized. The vast majority of people using the "with autism" phraseology see it as a separate, undesirable thing -- often parents looking to "cure" their children.

I don't refer to myself as "someone with femaleness" and if I did, it would be implying that being female is an element of myself that could be, perhaps should be, removable from the core me. We don't refer to "people with homosexuality" unless you're a super-conservative church claiming that there's no such thing as a gay person, just a person with a thing to "cure" or overcome. Language matters.
I cannot deny that's true.

Opposing personal experience - I've been scraping my bank data (scotia) for about a year now, haven't had any serious problems (there seems to be some kind of signin counter that thresholds and then forces secret questions to be reset, but that's it).
According to the presentation, 9% of all HTTP on FF36 (for those who didn't disable this data collection) is HTTP/2. Surely there are people here using HTTP/2 in production: How are you serving HTTP/2 traffic?

The listing itself is somewhat muddled ... "Twitter" is an entry, linking to the Twitter homepage, presumably that's responsible for most of this traffic? I found https://github.com/twitter/netty-http2 and https://github.com/twitter/hpack on Twitter's GitHub.
Definitely. I actually gave them props for their SPDY work, including the name: it matching a common word would make it easier for lay people to remember. Many organizations and academics made alternatives to common protocols without the user base or influence to make them real. That Google was in a position to make things better, built a practical improvement, deployed it, and inspired the update to HTTP is a great credit to them. I wish more companies in similar positions would follow suit.

And, hopefully, Google's experimentations in other protocols and domains will challenge those controlling the status quo to adapt to the times as well. Not holding my breath but it would be nice.
If politicians don't care about their brand, they've pursued the wrong career.

The visible nature of a visit would be exploited. He'd be painted as guilty by association. Politics is petty... so much so that, in this case, a superPAC-funded negative campaign ad (running 24-7 in battleground states) would say: "Rand Paul visited the NSA 6 times since he's been a Senator, yet he preaches reform. So let's ask you Senator: 'why are you in bed with the NSA?'"

Let's keep in mind: there's no way if OP's story or sources are true --- maybe he has met with NSA -- and if he has, I'd hope he wouldn't go around blabbing about it, for the above reason ^^
In Darker than Black there are Contractors. They have a "contract" which means they can cast one particular spell, after which they have to complete their "contract payment" before they can cast again. That's often a simple but annoying task like smoking a cigarette or writing a poem. The spell and payment are different for each one. Nobody got to choose.

I think you are missing a lot of context regarding what SPDY is, was and it's relation to HTTP/2[1]. In short, SPDY was an experiment designed to test some proposed strategies for future HTTP protocol development, which it did. It was adopted as a starting point for HTTP/2. After HTTP/2 was released, Google announced it would eventually be phasing out SPDY. This is a good thing.

> It's certainly true that HTTP/1.1 isn't perfect and there are practical ways it could be improved, but I don't think this presentation makes a strong case for adopting HTTP/2 as the way forward.

Well, I read it more as a "If you are planning to use HTTP/2, here are ways in which you might want to alter how you plan out your service", not "You should use HTTP/2, now here's the stuff you need to go change so you can do so." Alternatively it can see it as "here's the performance hacks you no longer have to do with HTTP/2 because it has good mechanisms for this built in." In any case, I didn't get a strong vibe about how we need to abandon HTTP 1.1.

It's unfortunate that such a lovely document seems to have produced a terrible subway system. Having regularly taken the subway in Beijing, London, Washington D.C., Tokyo. The New York subway seems almost deliberately difficult to navigate at times. Subway signs are often misleading. Lacking in places or just outright missing. Perhaps they focused too much on the appearance without considering usability.

I think you're going too far here, both in saying something that sounds incorrect, and in reading things into the essay that I don't see there.

There's no need to say that P and ¬P are ever both (somewhat) true, only that evaluating a scientific theory isn't just a matter of finding some single consequence of it to say "this prediction is false: REJECT" (a sort of crude Popperian picture). Instead, the theory should be tested on its overall explanatory power, ability to predict, etc, etc. For each statement the theory implies, that statement is either true or false. But considering two theories, each of which implies some falsehood, we may wish to say that one is still less wrong.

I also didn't notice the sort of Kantian picture you allude to in the essay.

Muddies the water and fuels discussion! If the question were more precisely specified, there might actually be a right answer :)

But, I wondered about this too. In fact my answers were pretty much opposites, depending on which I prioritised. In the end I left the decision up to my gut, and I'm kind of glad I did, because the results had some nice things to say... about my gut, at least. Not sure where that leaves the rest of me.

(I found the author's willingness not to pull punches in their assessments admirable, in that he/she avoided any MBTI-/horoscope-style wooliness - but some of the results came across a little overly scathing. If there isn't actually one right answer, there are certainly sections of the result space they're clearly convinced are incorrect. But if its inventor is truly a marriage expert, I've no doubt they have their reasons.)
I can say, hands down, MDMA cured me from all and any social anxiety, it showed me that no-one gives a fuck, everybody is just the same and wants to be heard.

Its so funny, every time links like this gets posted I just nod and think "Poor bastards, they haven't figured it out yet?"

It's been 8 years since I did MDMA, so far no negatives as far as I can tell. Obviously, as with any strong drug/psychedelic, you will be a different person after the trip, what you take from that, is up to you. It is not for everybody, and especially if you feel you are prone to something like schizophrenia do NOT do psychedelics.

Doing distributed systems in Elixir/Erlang is dramatically easier/more logical than in Go.

Go is advertised as having "Concurrency" support, but that's nowhere near all that makes up OTP.

I think people don't seem to get this. Go is really not a good language for distributed systems programming. At least not yet when compared to Erlang / Elixir.
Lego Universe's Dong Detection Problem
I don't know how to explain myself any better to you. I'm not disputing what you are saying nor your authority. I'm talking about stuff much beneath what you are talking about which is why I can barely address what you are saying.

I'll give this one last shot and provide some links. That's the best I can do.

As Wikipedia puts it, "An entire processor can be created using NAND gates alone". That's a functional program, whether I'm able to convince you of it or not. Whether there are tradeoffs taken in the pragmatic world of manufacturing sell-able CPUs is beyond what I'm talking about. You may know a lot about this which is why I don't dispute any of what you say, but you are not talking about the same CPU I'm talking about. You are talking about real world CPUs which is fine. It's just not what I'm talking about. If real-world CPU designers prefer to use state in their processor design that's up to them - but the nature and essence of a CPU obviates state, as a bunch of NAND gates suffices for one as Wikipedia puts it.

I'll leave some links here if you are interested in knowing the kind of things that led me to be so misinformed. Thanks for engaging in this discussion. I appreciate your assuming I'm ignorant instead of evil. Every logical gates tutorial I have ever read (including the first result in Google for me: http://cpuville.com/logic_gates.htm) says something like "These gates can be combined to make the larger circuits needed to make a computer processor." which as you can understand may lead a lay person like me (just a programmer, not a CPU designer like you) to believe that processors are therefore functional. Clearly I'm missing something, but I'm not sure I know what.

After just a day of playing with it, I love the Google Photos service for what it is, but I was pretty sure it wouldn't be a viable backup solution. If a service offers anything more than strictly "file backup", it's a sure thing you will lose quality and/or won't be able to get at it easily. I already have a good backup system utilizing my free $50/month Azure benefits that come with my MSDN subscription so I'm not really concerned about it. I personally don't care much about sharing features but if Google can actually make this a good backup + sharing system then they will win. For me "good" means my original files are kept as-is and that upload/download is relatively quick. I'm fine with days, not weeks. Azure (CloudBerry) took less than 5 hours for my 100GB library over 35Mbs upload FiOS, but Google Photos isn't even 1/10th of the way done after a day.

I love how it has mashed-up my photos into categories, stories, animations and collages. Literally love it, it IS great. But backup system, it is not.
Response to Irregularities in LaCour and Green 2014 [pdf]
You have honestly lost me. Not only am I unsure of any argument you set forth except "Netflix is the biggest consumer of the internet", but I can name many metrics by which they aren't top 10. Namely, pageviews, unique visitors, alexa rank, or just about any other metric that doesn't measure bandwidth.

Are you only discussing VOD sites? That's the only way I can make any sense of your arguments. (Also, what do you mean by netflix being a "consumer of the internet"?)

[http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/netflix.com]
I think it's weird you assume everyone reading this site would share your view, to the point of being surprised if they don't.

There seems to be quite a bit more diversity here than that.
"Senator Rand Paul was invited 6 times to talk to the NSA about its anti-terror data collection programs. 6 times Senator Rand Paul refused to even listen to the patriots working to keep our country safe, yet he claims to know what's best for our national security. Is this someone we can really trust as president?"

The bullshit can be written however. If you're taking the subject seriously (and it's a subject that ought to be taken quite seriously), it's your job to hear what the various parties have to say, even if you're sure you won't agree. It's his job as senator.
I don't know much about this and found your links interesting. Do you know if there have been any surveys of preference?
It's a bit of both... I have an 'obvious death' protocol that can apply if someone is, well... obviously dead. If they are not obviously dead, and do not have a DNR (or a 'MOLST' in New York) then we'll begin resuscitative efforts (using either ACLS[1] or PALS[2] guidelines, as appropriate). If the patient's heart has any sort of electrical activity going on, we'll generally spend 15-20 minutes trying to get it working properly again before calling a medical control physician to get permission to stop efforts and pronounce death.

If there is no electrical activity, then we'll go through a couple 'rounds' of ACLS, and it there is no response, we'll just pronounce them. Very rarely do we transport an adult in cardiac arrest. CPR in a moving ambulance is very difficult to perform adequately, and in most cases we would just be bringing them to a facility that would be providing the same level of care that we are in the field (albeit with more hands available to help, but the tradeoff in time and poor quality CPR isn't worth it).

The only exception to this are cases of traumatic arrests. If something is physically broken, no amount of CPR, drugs, or electricity are going to help, and their only hope is bright lights and cold steel (in a surgeon's hand). Needless to say, the survival rates for out of hospital traumatic arrests are _vanishingly_ small.

Kids are different though... They're easier to move, and easier to do CPR on. This means in most cases a pediatric arrest is a 'scoop and run', with any interventions being performed on the way in. This is in part because the resiliency of kids means they are a _little_ more tolerant of the time, and scene's with dead kids tend to be extremely chaotic. It can be very difficult to concentrate with an (understandably) distraught parent yelling at you.

I agree.

Libertarians are the original Gay Rights and Abortion Rights supporters, going back to the 1970s. When Obama and Hillary were still anti gay-marriage (in 2013, before it became something they couldn't ignore) and when Bill Clinton was signing the "Defense of Marriage Act" along with 3/4 of Congressional Democrats approval... and for two decades even prior to that, Libertarians were in favor of getting the government out of marriage.

Notice the Libertarian position is not the same as the mainstream "Gay Marriage" position. Libertarians would legalize Poly marriage as well, while I've had Gay Marriage Advocates give me a list of reasons why that shouldn't be legal.

While some Libertarian candidates are personally against abortion, they would be laughed out of the movement if they advocated actually passing laws at the federal level to restrict it. Hey, I'm even personally not a fan of it (though I paid for one once) but that is completely different from being willing to support their bans, and I wouldn't support someone who wanted to ban them. (And yet I work for the Michael Badnarik campaign for a little while and he was "anti-abortion")

Rand is going to have a tough time getting the republican nomination because that party hasn't quite realized that it's being to conservative and not responsible enough.

So I don't mind that he's not taking a stand on these things.

In fact, if we were in a climate where gay rights were being restricted (increased restrictions) or abortion were being fought (at the federal level) then I might be more worried about it. But we are not. W ran on a strong anti-abortion platform and nothing really happened during his term. He didn't even try. He knew it was a wedge issue, more than anything. Only at the state level are Abortions at risk.

The real crime of our time is the out of control federal spying, adventurism and rights violations.

(this is not a rebuttal to hackinthebochs who said nothing I disagree with.)

EDIT: My statements are historical fact and consistent with what's known about libertarians: They want the state out of these kinds of decisions. Yet I'm downvoted. Is it because I'm pointing out that the Democrats don't really support gay rights? Sorry, but it's true. When clinton signed DoMA with broad democrat support, I was out. Sure the republicans were worse at that time, but I'm not going to compromise the idea that I don't have a right to get married!

Even in the 1990s the Libertarians were the only party that was clearly pro gay rights and so I joined them. The past 20 years have proven me right. I take down votes (without comments or rebuttals) as merely an admission of the frustration at this truth.
There are, for example, economic ramifications of an unusually aged populace which cause modern societies like Japan's to see it as a problem.

In an ideal world, there wouldn't be companies, we would all work together. We don't, and our society is instead organized along capitalist premises. As such, the government support parts of the market that we feel need encouragement, and ostensibly stays out of the way otherwise.

You can agree or disagree with the premise, but that's how we do things. There are many, many vastly more egregious cases of privatizing gains and socializing losses than electric cars and reinventions of the energy network.
