Granted - it should require a higher bar. Of course, if one could arrange for it to be just a bit lower for the things I want... But that's politics in a nutshell.
No. It was only 60% for Florida because Florida requires 60% of the vote for a constitutional amendment. In the other areas, none of them needed more than 50%, either because it was a simple law or happened in a state where even a constitutional amendment only needs 50% of the vote to pass.
The only question is, if they suceed, what are they going to do with all of those people they don't need any more? It's certainly not a question we're answering very gracefully here in the west. Maybe they'll do better in doing so than we are.
CVE is a thing because static analysis tools are too chatty about too many things that have no chance of causing failure given your particular architecture or other system characteristics, but need to be examined/handled nevertheless. Tie that in with often subpar tools with subpar UI's and/or configurability and/or management that worries more about new features than code hygiene, and you will be saddled with CVE's because the tools wont be used, no matter how many issues they might find.
You don't need to be female to be an idiot in Product Management. I've worked with fools of both sexes in that particular arena. But you know what? They actually go out and talk to customers. They do (not as often nor as quickly as I'd like, but occasionally) get fired for their poor decisions. Besides, why do you think your engineering team has better insight than folks who actually talk to customers and do it well enough to get paid to do so? Especially when it comes from a UX department, whose artistic "insights" are not much better than most product managers' business "insights".
I think you are suffering from many delusions about the real world, my friend.
Those 2 have done more to harm the black community than any other modern political leader.
Your poor grammar notwithstanding, I'd think that the black community could make their own choices on who their leaders are and don't don't need white folk telling them which of their leaders are effective. Especially when it's the lazy white press who keeps more effective (albeit less visually stimulating) leaders in the shadows.
But whatever you want to say about them, it is still undeniable that there is racism in this country and, no matter how awful you think they are, folks like Jackson and Sharpton raise issues that need to be raised, even if the resulting conversation seems to make you uncomfortable.
And what the hell is wrong with a human-lobster wedding? It might be true love, after all. Perhaps the human admires her shapely antennae, while she admires his stunning personality! A few quick dates and... Bob's yer uncle! Time for the wedding (and lets hope the new Mrs. Isn't expecting her little prawns too soon, but you know how impatient those new brides can get... wink, wink).
Now, wouldn't you feel silly, if that were the case?
What the fuck? Intimidation? Because someone sent you a form letter asking you to vote? They sure seems to making some folks with awfully thin skin. And someone might come to your house/apartment to ask you to vote. I guess you could always tell them to go to hell or something.
You're not going to have the convenience of the modern world without almost ubiquitous interconnected computerized systems. You're not going to have the reliability you need for these systems to operate properly if you don't have more secure operating systems and identification mechanisms. The decision of what the deal will be when one is traded for the other will not be in your control.
The restart can cause cascading errors that change a reasonably simple issue into a multi day recovery operation.
If the chance of a simple failure cascading into multi-day recovery on system restart is that high in your organization, you have bigger problems than systemd. Maybe you should look in that direction...
Yeah. Money's just like intelligence. People in the Southern states don't have as much of it, but congregating with their own kind, they don't need as much of it. And if those who had these boons would just stop putting on airs and leave the poor Southerners alone, they wouldn't feel as bad about their poverty and ignorance and would be happier. It's just the same as with being poor.
How about y'all just secede again? This time, we'd let y'all go. Scouts honor.
You're not wrong. You're just looking at the facts that support your side. You're assuming that market subsidy leads to price inflation. It doesn't unless the supply of the service is artificially limited. And I can think of nothing more artificially limited in this country than medical care - from medical schools to insurance companies to big pharma, everyone wants the level of profits that they think they deserve and will limit just about anything to make this happen. Remove the artificial limitations in supply and then you can talk about inflation. The demand is obviously there to drive expansion - the political will isn't.
Well, why not? Do you have some sort of moral aversion to people doing what they enjoy? They'd be injecting activity into the non-finance economy, something that we actually need to rebalance that split. You act as if something horrible will happen. But there's only so much poker and hookers a person can use. The cost is probably lower than what you're paying for the crime that funds it right now.
Isn't he that little gray man running Apple or some such? The only one that could make being gay sound even more boring than being straight? Not that our country shouldn't be moving in the direction where it really is just as boring, but good God... C'mon, Tim, just admit it - you're so fucking boring, no one cares!
Those who do it for "convenience" I can understand. Almost all of us have "principles" we attempt to live within the bounds of. But those principles are breakable by anyone because we're human and nature isn't black and white, but fuzzy and indirect. In addition, my principles may not be yours. So I understand their decision at their current level of awareness, knowledge, whatever you want to call it. Whatever we are, we're a free country and people have to have the right to choose their own values.
The ones I don't understand are the ones who justify this in the name of "safety". Because history has shown that there is nothing more unsafe than a police state. And because you're human and nature isn't black and white, but fuzzy and indirect, what you get is a system for which everyone is guilty of something and you can no longer assume it's "if you have nothing to hide...".
I guess I think of it this way: Information is power. But power accretes unless periodically dispersed. The larger the accretion, the more energy it takes to disperse it. But we are human and the world is not black and white, but fuzzy and indirect, so when we apply this energy, we're often as likely to blow apart the system as we are to disperse it gently. So we fear stepping in when the accretions are small and the collateral damage easily contained (plus there's always that awful nagging free agency thing that has to be balanced), allowing power to concentrate until the stakes of dispersal seem too high and still we don't disperse it until the pressure builds up, the system blows apart and we start again from square one. It's fucking tedious and wasteful. Civilizations, countries, economies, organizations, all the little ways we group together follow this law: Power accretes unless dispersed. Period.
So, if you're making it easier for power to accrete, you are in one sense helping to bring about conflict and strife and destruction; contrawise, if you are dispersing energy to dissipate huge clots, then you're still bringing conflict and strife and destruction. If we all become wise enough to deal with these concentrations of power before they become too large, we will minimize conflict, strife, and destruction from this source and our lives will be happier. But we are all human and the world is not black and white, but fuzzy and indistinct, so all we all see different clots as too big. In the end, all you can do is laugh and do what we can to disperse the clots that look a bit too large to us. 'Cause that's what we do.
But a police state is about the hardest clot we've ever allowed to form. Hopefully ours is still small enough to dissolve without a lot of collateral damage, but those holding ever more tenuously to power really seem to like them some police state.
But the path towards education is pretty clear from this model... for those who trade safety for convenience, convince them that safety is more important. When you have them focused on the safety issue, then you can discuss short term vs. long term tradeoffs of relative safety.
As a midwesterner, I'd like to tell you firmly to go fuck yourself... but also I'm far too polite to do that.
Well, At least the first part of the statement to be true - scratch a midwesterner and you'll usually find one angry passive-aggressive son of a bitch, as you demonstrate. And I speak from self-knowledge, having grown up in a town of 750 people in the midwest and being, on occasion, an angry, passive aggressive SoB myself.
But yeah, having lived on the coast and in the midwest, it's an armpit - but just a different brand of armpit, to be fair - no one should feel a special superiority due to where they happen to be living at the time. But I still sincerely doubt that anyone aspires to living in Bentonville, unless they're a Walton and own the town (and even then I'd like to see stats as to how often they actually are there - it's more like a Bentonville-land that they try to keep from becoming a complete hell hole so they can show how much they "do for the community").
On the plus side of living on the coasts, I actually did learn to tell people to go fuck themselves - you might try that someday. It might help you have less of that passive aggressiveness and help you channel your anger for productive use. Most of midwestern "culture" comes from having to live in too small towns where citizens' only entertainment is gossipping about/trashing the other citizens behind their backs while smiling to their faces. It's pretty clear that the whole passive-aggressive thing is a social balm to prevent mass homicide.

As an old school Lisp programmer, I just use them like assoc lists.

Hell, just tell her you built her a TARDIS and that's what DID happen. She'll be sooooo grateful!!!
It's just a Costco-size Terminator in disguise.

If you want a debate, maybe make the rules a bit shorter? In other words, TL;DR - and that's just the summary.
Most of us don't really care that much, you know.
Yeah. Money's just like intelligence. People in the Southern states don't have as much of it, but congregating with their own kind, they don't need as much of it.

Which is why we should be focused on redistribution from the wealthy.
