Federal nutritional programs weren't available until 1932. Social Security Act passed in 1935. It's these programs that eliminated the starvation headlines in the US.

I agree it's not comparable -- many billions more people are negatively affected by the Great Recession simply because world population has grown so much since 1929.

Poltifact's description of an environment where all students and retirees don't need to work is not only unlikely but unrealistic.

I see your 42 million unemployed people in 1929 and raise you 100 million people not currently looking for work in 2017.

A minor blip where millions lost their jobs, houses, and businesses...

The hard part about economic analysis is you can never know all the variables in a dynamic system. It's a common error to summarize based on variables convenient to the theme you choose to present only to later realize your analysis should have included some fairly obvious factors.

I think it could extend battery time for large format tablets and car computers.

I don't think I'd want to take credit for a hack like this. I imagine a few interesting phone calls are heading the researchers way.

"Who in their right mind goes around serving up seizures..."

I agree violence should be met with appropriate justice.

Circumstances and context are rarely as cut and dried as your honest question. For example, there are some people alive that I'd rather they not be. Without context only a psychopath would think that. But if I add "9/11 victim" as context? Then you not only get it, you're on board.

It's the same here. On the surface it's shocking and offensive, but when you learn of prior behavior it becomes reasonable to doubt a reporter that hid his direct participation in news stories he was reporting. It seems more likely to me the victim seeks fame and fortune rather than justice.

The medium is relevant due to state lines. This is a Federal offense, where the guilty party goes to big boy prison and never gets a good job interview again. For what is widely viewed as an Internet prank. Pretty sure there's a Simpson episode with a similar prank too.

Disabled people have many precautions they take just to get thru each day. Many are required by law to report their medical status on a regular basis. It's not a stretch to ask if any precautions were taken in this case because if none were and a doctor had advised the victim differently there is less merit here.

It's not reasonable to introduce additional first amendment restrictions or award damages in response to targeted prank tweets by internet trolls.

How do we know Eichenwald actually had a seizure? Why wouldn't he take precautions if he knew using a computer could cause a seizure? He appears to have motive to lie, an opportunity to get away with it, and a proven desire to be the "hero" in his own reporting. He is his own victim.

Perhaps Muslims are owed justice for the imagery assaulting their prophet?

Is assault possible with only words and images? If it entices someone to commit acts of violence, yes. If it is the words themselves that cause injury, the reader has the option to not engage in risky behavior.

Eichenwald has made many enemies and intentionally became part of his own reporting. He is his own victim. That a reporter like that would challenge the first amendment with a naive emotionally charged approach should give anyone pause.

Homes for the homeless. What an obvious solution! May I suggest medical care for the sick next?

I'm glad some cities are starting to recognize the level of dignity and hope a private residence with private facilities can give to impoverished families. Sadly it appears these types of programs seem to only be funded when wrapped in some questionable marketing or political gain.

You don't need UBI to apply for jobs while still working for your current employer.

UBI does not directly address drug use, mental health, indebtedness, or homelessness. The idea that you can solve poverty by giving "free" money to individuals who can not spend wisely while at the same time eliminating nutritional and mental health programs can only have bad results.

It also needs a disclaimer for Iron Maiden fans :)

Traders using leverage means it's not a zero sum game.

It's not reasonable in the sense that the SEC should respond to the level of trader interest in BTC with something other than "don't trade it".

The SEC has a three pronged mission:

- Protect investors - Maintain fair, orderly, and efficiently markets - Facilitate capital formation

With this decision they missed on all three. No investor was protected. The BTC market today was not fair, orderly, or efficient. There was excessive capital destruction.

No, the significant markets for gold are very much regulated.

The only reason this garbage gets published is because it's trendy to discriminate against white males.

It's not every day you make a "fix CIA bug" commit. Kudos! lol

Reimplement something you've already written in a different language. The syntax and ecosystem knowledge seeps in quicker when you already know what you want to write.

Knowing multiple languages can let you get a wider range of gigs and help out when making decisions on what tools to use for new projects.

If Github can continue to use and distribute free software without violating the terms of the license then why demand additional rights? I don't get it.

Google doesn't attribute links to free software appearing in it's search results. Github doesn't need special rights to do it.

In what use case does Github violate free software licenses such that it requires additional rights?

Great idea and I hope Alacritty continues to evolve because it should eventually be the fastest given the GPU integration. However, st is faster on my system, supports bitmap fonts like SGI screen, handles true color, works when no GPU is present, has half the LoC, and has less dependencies.

Microsoft is misfiring on another major computing trend. If you can't fork the code, you are missing an important feature.

I'd wager that management denying open access to hackers was more detrimental to Ms. Hamilton's exercises than the activities of said hackers. A good hacker would do root cause analysis instead of picking the most convenient victim to further some personal odyssey.
