    If you want the code to be free, then release it freely. Code under the GPL is NOT free. It is encumbered.

    How about we forbid people ALL unhealthy behavior

    Or in the real world of adults who don't poop their pants when discussing reasonable compromises on personal freedom, how about we set some reasonable compromises?

    FUCK YOU!

    There is no "reasonable compromise" on freedom. Just like there are no "reasonable restrictions on speech" or "reasonable gun control laws". It's always a power grab and it always gets more restrictive over time. Or are you okay with "free speech zones", you fucking fascist?

    If you want to illegally infringe on people's freedoms and rights, then play by the fucking rules and change the constitution so you can do it legally.

    Yeah, the reasonable law would be to raise the smoking age 1 year every year, no new smokers.

    No, the reasonable law would be to make the product that kills over 400,000 Americans every year illegal.

    Unfortunately, Common F. Sense never seems to prevail over Corruption N. Greed.

    With that logic, we should make booze illegal again.

    How long has it been since the government forced people to smoke?
    People can join the military at 18, but not smoke or drink until 21, and not rent a car until 25, and not run for President until 35. I only agree with one of these restrictions.

  7. Yes, it is, when what you're posting is nothing of substance. The fucking Twitter account with examples has about 6 posts total and only a couple of actual examples, none of which are any better or more useful than what was done a decade ago.

    Concerned parents and groups never raised such "issues". Such features were never implemented or even announced. Further, Niantic makes the game, not Nintendo or The Pokemon Company. They merely licensed the right to make the game to Niantic, which is an offshoot of Google. Pokemon Go is little more than a skin of Ingress.

    Those all look awful and pointless. They're still nothing beyond what the Nintendo 3DS did with AR cards - shitty little gimmicks.

    Who keeps hyping up AR? Every implementation we've seen has been a flop or outright scam. There are almost no use cases for it, and the few genuine use cases that do exists are better served with glasses or a head mounted display. And we all know how the general public liked wearing glasses to watch 3D movies.

  19. Your fallacy is that of an appeal to authority.

    Yours is a complete dismissal of history due to cherry picked instances.

    The analogy is so banal. While the teacher was turned, someone shouted out, when no one would say who, they all got punished.

    Hyperbolic? Sure, but so is your logic.

    Either they have they been lying their entire institutional lives or everyone is so stupid, including you, that we just allow it to persist, for decades, centuries even? ok.

    Dismissal of history? No, I'm aware of it and pointing it out. The established media powers may have been respected at some point, but that doesn't mean they were ever deserving of that respect. CNN has outright been making shit up since day fucking one, for example. "WaPo" went full retard chasing after "HuffPo" style "journalism". Similarly with the New York rags. And their candidate (and yes, they had a candidate and even admitted to such biases not only in opinion but in reporting) lost and now they're paying the piper.

    I don't know what the rest of your incoherent mess refers to. Your last sentence doesn't even make logical sense. You're claiming that they either must have been lying their "entire institutional lives" or everyone must be stupid to allow it to persists for "decades, centuries even".

    That makes no sense. There's not even a logical "or" in that statement. Both phrases amount to the same thing. Lying and dumb people allowing it. You've established no reason such behavior had to be in play for their "entire institutional lives", nor any reason for people having to be stupid to let it happen. You'd only have to be stupid to believe their blatant bullshit today. The past doesn't matter, and you're the one who appealed to it as some sort of bastion of legitimacy.

    Your logic and reasoning astounds me. Do you work at the DMV?

  20. What goalposts? Do you realize I'm a different person?

    You claimed that elections are a binary result but that the underlying data is more important than the result, or is important even when the result doesn't support the conclusion you want to draw from the underlying data.

    I'm pointing out that the people spending the money only care about the result, and will seek to maximize their influence for a minimum of spending. We've seen plenty of cases where money buys an election, and we've seen plenty of cases where it doesn't, and we've seen plenty of cases where corporations buy off both sides because they need to hedge their bets.

    Unless you're spending those big political dollars or receiving them, the end result is all that matters. Corporate money (and private money via corporate stooges) owns our government. Trump's win was a shocking case where they typical goons didn't get to outright buy an election.

  23. Re:Braess' paradox Another possible reason on Getting Rid of Carpool Lanes Could Double Travel Times (sciencemag.org) · · Score: 1

    t=d/v

    r * t = d

    If v is zero, your equation results in an undefined value.
    Further, there's the distinction between rate and velocity (which is a vector). See also distance vs. displacement (and how they both start with a d).

  24. Elections are a binary result, but the underlying data is not. To find a correlation, you do not compare a win/loss category to money spent - rather you would compare polling data (e.g. turnout, number of votes for/against). In every analysis I've seen, money does have an impact. Repeating myself, it is absurd to expect money alone to flip a super-gerrymandered Republican district. Money did make the race closer than it would have been.

    The elections are win/lose. And that's all that matters to the people spending money. They don't care that they made the race closer. They care about whether or not they have influence over the person that won. They seek to maximize influence and minimize spending
