Geeez, Americans spend that much on hamburgers every hour.

Ahh, yes, body shaming from the "tolerant" Leftist.

Where is the "body shaming"? The first post seemed to be pretty close to factual. One source suggests that the annual consumption of hamburgers in the US is around 50 billion burgers. If we say that on average a burger costs $2 (assuming more are consumed at inexpensive places than not), that is $100B per year on hamburgers in this country. Divide by 365 days and we're looking at ~$273M per day, divide by 24 and we're around $11.4M per hour - assuming that the average burger is $2. If the average is closer to $4 then we hit the $22M the original comment was pointing to.

I feel the same as both perspectives, honestly.

I pull from a hell of a lot of different fields to explain anything, and yet I'm always looking for people who are experts in something I don't understand. I'm a great sysadmin and systems engineer because I understand a lot about how computer systems work from top to bottom, and so see everything as an outcome of known quantities interacting in easily-recognized ways; yet I'm not Andrew Morton, I'm not a programmer, I'm not a computer scientist, and I lack a huge depth of understanding in every part of the field of computers. I can solve problems in a general sense a lot faster than many people who are far beyond my knowledge and skill, and yet I don't have the knowledge and skill to implement solutions without those people.

I want to potentially reorganize the Social Security Subcommittee of the Congressional Ways and Means Committee into a Social Insurances Subcommittee, because Social Security is myopic. The SS Subcommittee focuses on OASDI and a few other small matters; whereas I designed a universal Social Security policy that reorganizes OASDI, TANF, WIC, SNAP, and HUD to provide benefits to more Americans with less net transfer, resulting a permanent guarantee of Social Security's solvency, an end to homelessness and hunger, and a $1 trillion reduction in tax burdens on the American people and American business. It's a finance, accounting, and economics problem—in none of which am I a field expert.

There are spreadsheets with year-by-year models (some cells have notes). I've checked through directly adjusting the finances; I've measured the cost of FICA and adjusted it to 15% of all income to see if that costs the same as my projected transfer (the rough estimate is some $30 billion off---out of $2,183 billion); and I've tinkered a bit with what each income quintile pays in and what each gets out, although I actually need CBO data to accurately make those projections (a very rough look suggests that even 2/3 of what the richest quintile pay into this system goes right back into their pockets, although once you get up to the top 0.1% they're paying a lot more than they get back). The money's definitely not coming out of nowhere.

I've seriously considered trying to get some NASI members to work with me on this, and maybe lobby them for a nomination so I can join NASI. That's a rather high honor, though; membership in NASI is no joke, and I'm presuming a lot suggesting I think I'd fit the ranks. Still, they have an entire membership committee to decide if they think I'm legit, and these people are a hell of a lot smarter than I.

I don't look at problems as a single-field expert; I see them as analogues to hundreds of things, even to partial-body analogies which are glued together as some kind of disjunct chimera. Each piece of the machine independently performs a function similar to many other things I've known, and the pieces each interface with each other rather than with wholly-incompatible and dissimilar things they might be like. It's good to know your limits, but at some point you have to accept that there are some things you can do that many others can't--and in my case, I am damned good at solving problems represented by extremely complex conceptual systems, so long as I can identify each of the concepts as being familiar in analogous terms. Knowing when the analogy stops is critical there.

I don't think you can get that without being a kind of universal expert; and even if you are, you can't apply yourself to 27 different fields at once. You can do one or two things very well using knowledge pulled from everywhere, and you generally can't get very far with it--but you can start down a path nobody else can even see. Bring your smart friends; you'll need them.

By "all the app stores" you mean it really only mean the Windows app store. I fail to find pirate apps among the top 10 free apps in Google Play where it is a mix of different types or iTunes where it's also mostly games. But feel free to live in your alternate reality.

It's more than just syntax and grammar rules. For example, Google has been mining the web for that kind of knowledge. You can see it in Google Translate sometimes. It generates suggestions for your input, and sometimes screws up like thinking "alot" is a word. It also uses colloquialisms in its output, which again it gathered from analysis of the web and which doesn't fit standard grammar or syntax rules.

Google Translate relies on community suggestions and validation. See https://translate.google.com/c...
The problem is that not everyone who joins there are truly fluent in both languages, nor all that literate.

I have heard about this from 2 of my friends that work on fishing boats in our EEZ (2 ppl normally; 1 checks sanitary conditions, the other is supposed to check catch and keep legal ; they tell some horrible stories ). Google will produce a lot for you
But this is pretty good, but talks about China's action all around rather just American water. And yes, China deploys driftnets in our waters on way out.
our real issue is that coast guard is severely undermanned since we send too many to the middle East. Now, trump wants to gut coast guard even more to give money to ice , which is just plain stupid. Illegal aliens can be solved just by phasing in e-verify. In the mean time, America's waters are being gutted by China.

Its fine for me (I actually prefer vim & gpg encrypted file), but non-computer geeks (eg every family member I have tried to get to use KeePass) hate having to:
* Stop what they are doing
* Open another program
* Type in an unlock password
* Search for the site they want,
* Copy the password
* Go back to the browser
* Paste the password
It takes more like 10-15 seconds for most people I've watched, and adding new passwords is takes longer.

You're doing it wrong. You need this and this. The first gives you automated recognition and entry of username and password into websites, as long as you populate the URL field in KeePass correctly (and it will help you do that). The second syncs to Google Drive, including upload, download, and download-merge-upload options.

Https could have been designed to work the same way as ssh, store a fingerprint, if it changes then throw up alarms.

It does work that way. The warning you see when visiting an HTTPS site whose certificate has an unknown issuer, such as a self-signed certificate, is analogous to SSH's warning that no fingerprint is stored for that hostname. A domain-validating CA is just a way to skip that warning. If you think that's a racket, then answer me this: How do you verify that no MITM is altering the fingerprint the first time you connect to an SSH server?

Sites could have stored their current fingerprint as a record in their DNS entry to automate validation

That's called DANE. It's not implemented in browsers because until less than a year ago, DNSSEC keys were 1024-bit RSA, and 1024-bit RSA is too short for current safety margin expectations. In addition, several registrars appear to charge extra for DNSSEC. There is a Chrome extension to run a DANE check on a certificate, but I don't know whether that or a similar Firefox legacy extension will survive the WebExtensions cutover.

Stockmann, Snowden, Manning. The world needs more enemies of the people.

I think Chelsea is a great hero for exposing war crimes and other wrongdoings committed by USA, and I am always in favour of exposing such things.

Any country involved in a war will be responsible for committing terrible things. It is impossible to avoid, the soldiers are just humans and the military is an institution that tend to bring out the worst behaviour. Anyone that tries to deny this is being dishonest.

And the absolute disgrace with regards to her detention conditions. It is clear that she stuck some nerve and that someone has had an agenda to "take her" for it. Like threatening with indefinite solitary confinement for being in possession of an expired toothpaste.

Google this: Toyota Estima
(the Japanese means "lost the key").
I found 3 sites immediately that discuss Toyota Estima. A couple mentioned charges of about 80 USD while another seemed more detailed. It seems that it is a difficult job that requires rewriting the car's computer, but that it can be done in 60 minutes. They quote a cost of about $165 for Osaka area.
TFA says the Japanese partner (should be Toyota) could not do it and that the importer split the cost so they paid around $2000. It sounds expensive but conceivably there was no cheaper alternative in their location, and since they got the importer to pay half it sounds like the importer also could have already tried to help.

And most likely discovered that instead of $1600 she would have to pay $2500 or more for a decent 1-bedroom apartment in any place that BART serves, or that is otherwise within a 1-hour commute of SF downtown.

I'm breaking my typical rule and responding to an AC post because you just made it too easy.

Using the link I posted above, you can very easily and intuitively end up here, which has one-bedroom apartments for $1400, or TWO-bedroom apartments for $1325-$1900, 58 minutes from her work.

You clearly didn't even look.

When's the last time overall US population dropped again? Oh, right.

Way to ignore the argument, numbnuts. The US dropped below static replacement fertility in 1972. All population growth since then has been due to increasing lifespan (whoops, that's going away), and immigration.

Now what happens after you build a fortress wall (wasting tens of billions of dollars) and drop legal immigration to 50,000/yr? Oh yeah, a population drop! We're already at 0.7%/yr and falling, and we haven't even implemented Trump's immigration control dreams yet.

"Have you actually thought about the social and economic circumstances of depopulating midwestern cities and towns, or is that beyond your attention horizon, living in California as you are?"

Answer the question. Oh right, you can't.

Here's an interesting exercise. Use Google Street View to compare a virtual walking tour of the residential neighborhoods of Tapei, and compare them to San Francisco. In this case we're looking at two neighborhoods of single family dwellings.

In general single family houses have a smaller footprint in Taipei and are a bit taller, and streets are much narrower. There are also more streets of low rise apartment blocks. There are obviously some high rise apartments, but apparently earthquake regulation discourage them so you see a lot places that have apartments that are just shy of the height where the regulations kick in. Likewise browsing through the satellite view of San Francisco it is striking how rare high rise apartment buildings are, compared to say Manhattan. The vast majority of housing stock is maybe three stories high.

So in a way San Franciso looks more like Taipei than it does New York, probably in part because like Taipei it is shaped by earthquake concerns and have quite a bit of topography to deal with. In fact they have almost the same population density: 7,500/km^2 for Taipei vs vs 7,170/km^2 for San Francisco. Taipei's Da'an district, which I linked to above, has a staggering density of 28,000/km^2. But Taipei's population has spread out into the sprawling, 8000 km^2 New Taipei City (population 3.9 million) that surrounds the capital. San Francisco is constrained by water on three sides, and to the south the available space on the peninsula is reduced by massive conservation areas. Short of replacing a lot of its low-rise housing stock with high-rise, earthquake-proof apartment blocks I don't see how San Francisco can accommodate working class people at all.

That may be true for Apple (not counting retail Apple Stores), but Google definitely has multiple locations, as do other 'giant corporations'.

"Popularity"?! "Increased traffic"?! Whatever Slashdot you're thinking of surely isn't this Slashdot!

Both Alexa and Google Trends suggest that the public's interest in Slashdot and the traffic here are both dropping.

I think the situation here is more comparable to what's happening to Firefox. A once great product has driven away its best users through unwanted changes. In Slashdot's case, these unwanted changes include the disastrous Slashdot Beta, as well as an increase in the number of left-leaning, purely political stories.

From what I can see, Slashdot is dying much like Firefox is. It's a slow, painful, drawn out affair.

How much longer before companies like Facebook and Twitter decide an election?

Somewhere between -1 and -9 years. I'm sure they've been deliberately influencing them for much longer. They both have programs that assist politicians in targeting ads and news to voters. Quick searches turn up open use of Facebook helping politicians. Google will help deliver their message too.

Ah yes. Some of these are still around. There's one right next to my high school still, and I graduated in '09. Never heard it go off though.

our president just froze funding for tracking and monitoring these kind of groups.

And no, these groups aren't hard to track. They're public groups actively recruiting members. But when the highest authority in the country says step off you can bet everybody will.

they're on Tor. They're not that hard to find. If they were it would just be a bunch of numbskulls writing particularly nasty fan fiction in their parent's basement. The real reason we can't track them if our president froze funding to track right wing terror groups.

When you register a domain... The registrar *DOESN'T ASK* you what you intend to use it for.

I was thinking that the TOS applied to web hosting, as many domain registrars also provide web hosting. Looking over the Google TOS, there's no content-specific provision for cancellation. There are several places that mentions Google's "sole discretion" to do whatever they want.

No, I'm saying that companies discriminate above and beyond that for the very rational reason that people from under-represented protected classes represent a risk to the company come firing time. At will employment laws don't really help in that regard, since the civil rights act pre-empts it.

"In fact, on average, damages are probably relatively low in hiring cases, reinforcing incentives to avoid hiring protected-class members and to risk lawsuits from applicants rather than employees"

Of course none of this is official policy, ever said out loud, or even admitted to themselves by people in these companies a lot of the time. We in the west are very good at maintaining culpable deniability at all times. That's why the only way to really get a given statistical distribution you think is fair is to punish companies based purely on statistical evidence, as happens with companies fulfilling federal contracts as the book points out. Do you really want this level of central planning for the economy in general though?

The slashdot crowd really has gone right-wing. The conversation points have all flipped. You must not remember the Rabid Puppies thing (or perhaps just don't see what they did as wrong).

A person does not have to be right-wing to be opposed to leftist politics.

You know, leading up to World War II, the Communists and the Nazis were the two most vocal political factions fighting for control of Germany. In fact, in the 1932 election, the Nazi slogan was, "If you want your country to go Bolshevik, vote Communist; if you want to remain free Germans, vote Nazi". But it would be a mistake to assume that everyone who was opposed to Communism was a Nazi. In the same way, it's a mistake to assume that everyone who is opposed to leftist politics is right-wing.

the IQs of Republicans are still far higher than those of Democrats

Zaria Gorvett, writing for BBC:
In the middle of a Russian swampland, not far from the city of St Petersburg, is a rectangular iron gate. Beyond its rusted bars is a collection of radio towers, abandoned buildings and power lines bordered by a dry-stone wall. This sinister location is the focus of a mystery which stretches back to the height of the Cold War. It is thought to be the headquarters of a radio station, "MDZhB", that no-one has ever claimed to run.

>middle of Russian swampland
http://www.sigidwiki.com/wiki/The_Buzzer_(ZhUOZ_MDZhB_UZB76)
"At least two transmitters exist for MDZhB. One is confirmed to be at 6018’40.1N 3016’40.5E where it sends radio relay and phone lines directly from Moscow via St. Petersburg’s command hub on Palace Square.
The other site is claimed to be located at Naro-Fominsk, Moscow district at 5525’35N 3642’33E where the 69th communications center is located, which serves as the main staff headquarters of the Western Military district in Moscow. "

I guess wooded areas with nearby lakes and that have modern 4 lane highways near towns and cities counts as "swampland" to the idiot BBC.

>rectangular iron gate. Beyond its rusted bars
It's not rusted. It is, however, rectangular. See for yourself.

>This sinister location
Yeah, its real sinister looking just a few yards off the A-121 highway. Just look at the street view of it in Google maps. Spoooooky.
