>This may change if charisma starts to be perceived as the key to winning.

So, in other words, this submission is a survey of the people who don't want Trump to win?

Using node.js, telsa coils regulate an internal blockchain economy by forming self-assembling carbon nanotube based deep learning networks, breakthrough for self driving flying cars powered by hybrid thorium/solar roadways.

They also don't give a damn about the old flag at all, which really is the problem. My parents had a flagpole and they never once flew the NZ flag on it. I think a little patriotism is deserved: NZ is a pretty good place to live. We don't need to go overboard but we're one of the few places on earth that struggles to work up enthusiasm in the first place so we're in no danger of being a little America.

Which makes the current selection of silver ferns and red peak the most tragic thing of all about this. It has just enough veneer of democracy to mislead people into making it a left/right war and the end result is that we'll have to wait another 20-30 years to do something that gets support from across the board, regardless of our two previous PMs being in favor of changing our defaced ensign.

>we wish to ensure we can provide a fair playing field for all participating players

By restricting access to performance enhancing drugs to those who have the connections to get around the screens that the ESL end up using to try and catch people?

Here's a radical thought: it's a fair playing field if everyone takes adderal before the match.

Except that the exact phrasing is "useful Arts", which refers to documenting technical skills like manufacture and craftsmanship. The original legal climate with regard to fiction was heavily pro piracy. Not even Charles Dickens managed to make much of a dent in attitudes over a half century later.

That's a really misleading rhetorical question. Attic actors wore masks and were expected to melt into their roles; what would you say if an Attican asked you "How many theatrical technicians do you remember?" Something more appropriate would be "How many playwrights do you remember?" Many poets not only wrote their own scripts but also directed them, having bigger roles than our famous contemporaries. History notes quite a few. I can name four right off the top of my head: Aristophanes, Aeschylus, Diogenes (different man from the philosopher) and Euripides.

Ah, that's unfortunate.

As someone who knows someone else's PIN: if they're too inconvenienced by making the payment themselves and don't realize what security it's meant to offer, they'll be quite content to hand the card and the PIN to someone they trust.

Which bank are you with? One of the few things that annoyed me about NBNZ was the utter lack of security with setting the pin and online banking password.

What makes you think we will get said trade deal with the US?

The AI was not let out of the box, and you're saying that it wouldn't convince you? This only sounds like an argument that Eliezer was right in not posting his logs.

Somewhat recently, someone attempted it with the intention of reposting the log. However, he failed: http://lesswrong.com/lw/9ld/ai_box_log/

The design causes far worse bugs than that, for example: you can stop a falling block's progress just by holding down left.

Wouldn't the browser cache the request?

Although I am probably not the intended audience of your message, I can't agree with the sentiment. Akrasia has to have a reason, even if it makes no rational sense, and all my believing in "stop doing [unimportant things] and start doing what actually matters" seems to do is make me feel guilty and worthless for being unable to find the motivation to do what actually matters to me. I know what I'd like to be doing, but I also know I'm not motivated to do it. What's a real solution?

> > Also, there was a moment when someone was submitting content and it appeared under my nick "bpfh".

You fixed one way of nickname duplication, but so long as you allow arbitrary utf-8 strings, there are all sorts of non-printing characters to use. You should really get a list of everything to filter. I don't have any experience with node.js, so I don't know if anyone has written a library that does it.

They seem to do it no matter what they charge.

So how is Linux From Scratch working for you?

Relevant reading is Barry Schwartz's The Paradox of Choice, which makes this insight as obvious as it should be.

I still don't get why we can't retract and change votes.

My main concern was forcing payment processors to cut off organisations from their income. I don't know anything about the ITC, as I am a foreigner, but it seems that they are more at risk for being manipulated into a position where they do not properly investigate cases.

Much like software, it will limp along.

50% is an understatement according to wikipedia [ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_mortality_from_H5N1 ].

As an aside there's something about the article saying that it required 10 generations of breeding that makes me think that this development is alarmingly low hanging fruit. Could this article be enough for someone to figure out how to recreate the strain?

I haven't tried to crack Steam games, but I don't have any difficulty pirating Steam exclusive releases.

Admittedly the few times I did pirate Steam games it was about price (as in I didn't want to commit the money while not knowing anything about the game, some really great titles like Super Meat Boy are a bit more expensive than you'd expect, but are absolutely worth it if you happen to like the genre). Steam is almost infinitely preferable to a pirate torrent, lacking only a sane download manager. But otherwise I consistently get faster downloads with less annoyance and I get nice integration with multiplayer and my friends' gaming.

> And making it harder for businesses to discern between people who wanted to be in business and those who were 'forced' into it, also harder which will make those businesses less efficient at employing folks.

It was my impression that Chinese students followed their parents ambitions. So I am not so sure that this effect will be all that noticeable. If I'm wrong here feel free to eviscerate me.

As a side note: I upvoted you for bullet biting.

A naive question: we have a lot of wealthy people sympathetic to the idea of a minimal government, why aren't they buying legislation that prevents this blatant corruption?

Same question here from a non US resident.

News of this law makes me ill, yet I see nothing I can do to help.
