schestowitz | Just to let you know, BT has been a massive disaster since January this year, with serious issues that led to about 10 hours of calls and two visits. It seems like a hardware issue. Today the OpenReach people came and fixed a faceplate on the other socket, the one near the sofa (there are two now), which hopefully will resolve this massive fiasco. At the end of the day there is more stuff and sockets available now which - if | May 03 15:52 |
schestowitz | anything - adds value to the place. | May 03 15:52 |
qu1j0t3 | "The two-year-old government has cut scientific research, muzzled its scientists, put limits on the independence of Statistics Canada and is facing charges that it plans to wield more influence over the CBC. | May 03 16:00 |
qu1j0t3 | Harper has abdicated the federal role in setting national health care policy in this country, a radical break from convention in which the federal government provided the cash and left the delivery to the provinces. | May 03 16:00 |
qu1j0t3 | In fact, Harper has essentially ended group consultations with premiers in any form, meeting them one-on-one and eschewing the grand federal-provincial conferences of yore. | May 03 16:00 |
qu1j0t3 | Quietly, this government has also reshaped the Employment Insurance program, pushing the unemployed to uproot and accept jobs at less pay, a move that has faced stiff criticism in Atlantic Canada, if a more muted response elsewhere. | May 03 16:00 |

qu1j0t3 | you are allowed to write a column saying "people are using this all over the place in ways that don't work" | May 03 22:38 |
eikonos | well, i estimated the probability, using bayes, that based on what i did read, there would be something worthwhile in the following paragraphes it … well, it didn't look good | May 03 22:38 |
qu1j0t3 | and some of those ways are quite sinister. | May 03 22:38 |

eikonos | race doesn't … what? | May 03 22:42 |
qu1j0t3 | well, sorry, racISM doesn't exist | May 03 22:43 |
eikonos | qu1j0t3: does the LessWrong guy *have* down's syndrome? | May 03 22:43 |
eikonos | you should ask | May 03 22:43 |
qu1j0t3 | eikonos: he has the all-too-familiar right wing brain fever | May 03 22:43 |
eikonos | racism doesn't exist because down's syndrome? | May 03 22:43 |
qu1j0t3 | yes, well.. you expected coherence and all i got is this word salad. | May 03 22:43 |
eikonos | haha.. indeed | May 03 22:44 |
qu1j0t3 | the analogy is to down's syndrome. | May 03 22:44 |
qu1j0t3 | i.e. "You were born that way, what do you expect?" | May 03 22:44 |
qu1j0t3 | i suppose for this mindset, calling "poor life outcomes" objective has a way of making things like "racism", "feminism" disappear completely. | May 03 22:44 |
qu1j0t3 | like, you had a "poor life outcome" because of "objective factors" | May 03 22:44 |
qu1j0t3 | ergo, i can cross you off my list. | May 03 22:44 |
qu1j0t3 | and he includes race as those factors | May 03 22:45 |
qu1j0t3 | which is kind of wow? How do these nuts get a free pass on that? | May 03 22:45 |
qu1j0t3 | anyway all this wonder is buried at about 70% down that critique | May 03 22:46 |
MinceR | it's so politically correct :> | May 03 22:46 |
qu1j0t3 | yes, it's perfectly politically objective. he also says politics doesn't exist. | May 03 22:46 |
MinceR | :D | May 03 22:46 |
qu1j0t3 | or at least, doesn't exist on his site | May 03 22:46 |
qu1j0t3 | man, this is so familiar. | May 03 22:46 |
qu1j0t3 | thanks California | May 03 22:46 |
MinceR | oh, i was hoping for an euphemism about "politics" | May 03 22:46 |
qu1j0t3 | i am sure we can find one | May 03 22:47 |
MinceR | :) | May 03 22:47 |
qu1j0t3 | oh, wow, he *is* a eugenicist. | May 03 22:47 |
*qu1j0t3 collects $5 | May 03 22:47 | |
*MinceR passes go | May 03 22:47 | |
eikonos | i'm not against "objective factors" | May 03 22:48 |
eikonos | "parent's wealth and social class" being the most important one | May 03 22:49 |
qu1j0t3 | hahahhahah | May 03 22:49 |
qu1j0t3 | quite so | May 03 22:49 |
qu1j0t3 | but in this case he is saying, race is related to intelligence | May 03 22:49 |
eikonos | stick that in bayes and calculate it | May 03 22:49 |
qu1j0t3 | and so racism doesn't exist, because it merely acknowledges your objective bad luck | May 03 22:50 |
eikonos | well, he would think that — he comes from a race of stupid people :P | May 03 22:50 |
MinceR | :> | May 03 22:50 |
qu1j0t3 | ugly people too | May 03 22:50 |
MinceR | i think that would be species, not race :> | May 03 22:50 |
qu1j0t3 | MinceR: +1 | May 03 22:50 |
qu1j0t3 | oh well, at least we're punishing ourselves | May 03 22:50 |

They make it disadvantageous for the officers to respect your rights in few circumstances where there is a problem. Thus the officers get lazy and muscle you initially so you don't try to retain your rights. It's also a compartmentalized "us vs them" mentality. By all means | ||
125241 8/<g:/ 9/schestowitzg8/>g euphold your rights, but also feel sorry for the cops who live this everyday. You could, and most likely are, on some of their many lists too. Take it as a complement, and try to be nice to the ones who don't really want to harass you." | ||

165236 8/<g:/ 9/schestowitzg8/>g eJust to let you know, BT has been a massive disaster since January this year, with serious issues that led to about 10 hours of calls and two visits. It seems like a hardware issue. Today the OpenReach people came and fixed a faceplate on the other socket, the one near the sofa (there are two now), which hopefully will resolve this massive fiasco. At the end of the day there is more stuff and sockets available now which - if | ||

170040 8/<g:/ 9/qu1j0t3g8/>g eHarper has abdicated the federal role in setting national health care policy in this country, a radical break from convention in which the federal government provided the cash and left the delivery to the provinces. | ||
170042 8/<g:/ 9/qu1j0t3g8/>g eIn fact, Harper has essentially ended group consultations with premiers in any form, meeting them one-on-one and eschewing the grand federal-provincial conferences of yore. | ||
170043 8/<g:/ 9/qu1j0t3g8/>g eQuietly, this government has also reshaped the Employment Insurance program, pushing the unemployed to uproot and accept jobs at less pay, a move that has faced stiff criticism in Atlantic Canada, if a more muted response elsewhere. | ||
