HappyHippo posted:Saying that trade deals have been bad for workers is not the same as saying that isolationism is the only solution. One of the major problems with "free trade" deals is that they put workers in western countries with stricter labour and environmental laws in competition with workers in countries without those protections. Naturally this results in some of the work being outsourced. Better trade deals would avoid that. Right exactly. It's like people think there is nothing you can do about "globalization". Of course we can, we need to renegotiate these trade agreements to include much more worker protections. NAFTA virtually has none of that and why it's so awful, not for the reasons Trump gives like "trade deficits". My view is trade is always good in the aggregate or nobody would do it. The problem isn't trade as such but dis-aggregate the benefits so they go not just to capital but to citizens generally. The obvious way to do that is to tax the rich who benefit differentially from globalization and use those revenues to invest in areas that benefit workers (education, health care, common infrastructure). The problem with the conservatives in America is that they don't want to fairly allocate the benefits of trade by increasing taxes on the rich, and they want the costs of trade (fewer low skill jobs, more job competition, more negotiating power for capital) to fall on workers. My guess is whatever trade arrangements our government enters into will continue to impoverish workers. And if they don't enter into those arrangements, then the result is less aggregate wealth, impoverishing workers. Confounding Factor fucked around with this message at 22:49 on Jun 10, 2017 |

This entire twitter thread is pretty pro-click. Apparently, a bunch of Trump supporters, and alt-right weirdos showed up to counter-protest a fake protest that a different alt-right group set up claiming antifa and BLM were going to try and remove the Sam Houston statute from a park in Houston. https://twitter.com/evan7257/status/873570946484981760

This is true, but if we're going that route we'll be tearing down monuments to nearly every significant figure in United States history up to the Civil War or so. Slavery and the treatment of Native Americans are both stains on the history of the country, but you're going to have a really hard time convincing people we should be blowing up monuments to George Washington who also owned slaves and was lovely to Native Americans. I was just pointing out that Houston knew the Confederacy was a loving stupid idea and wanted nothing to do with it. I can only imagine what he'd think of those knuckleheads.

Dogwood Fleet posted:On the one hand it's insane, on the other there have been instances of the GOP doing nothing at best. I'll believe it when I see it, but I'm really hoping for turbofucking. Yeah he's communicating like a conspiracy loon. The problem is that there has been such an avalanche of crazy poo poo coming to life it's legitimately getting difficult to tell if someone is getting  or is making plausible collusion claims. Trump's administration has already had so much insanity, from Sessions' recusal to Nunes' stupid collusion early in his term to the ever growing pile of shady Russian oligarch/government connections between Trump and his whole cadre of traitorous asshats. I mean, Trump already fired the FBI director for not dropping the Russia investigaton, then bragged about it to Russian diplomats. I would honestly consider and look into almost any accusation against the president at this point, even if it seems too stupid or crazy to be true.

Yeah but the deism of Confederate war generals and figures as rebels against an uncivilized North is a narrative which should not be supported, and that begins with these totems being torn down, taking them out of our squares. We're not going to 'forget' the war without them, we just won't be honoring them.

JuniperCake posted:How is it weird? Mathematics forms the basis by which computers work in the first place. The hardest problems you face in computing tend to be very difficult math problems. Especially in Machine Learning which is what we are talking about here. It is what it is. It just really seems like you might be misunderstanding what sort of thing "the halting problem" is. It doesn't limit automation of jobs since anything stopped by the halting problem (some sort of weird nonexistent job of deciding ahead of time if any arbitrary programs halt, including programs that include a copy of your own brain?????) already can't be done by people either so can't be replaced by a machine.

It seemed so silly when it came out originally, but it's my understanding that basically everything confirmable on that dossier has been confirmed. There's no reason for me to doubt it. Also Trump crying "No Russian hookers! You're the Russian hooker! I always assume hookers are recording me!" is basically him confirming it for us.

You're a little bit mistaken. Houston lived with the Cherokee for several years in Tennessee and could speak the language fluently. While President of Texas he advocated for peaceful coexistence with the Comanche. His political rival, Mirabeau B. Lamar, wanted total elimination of them.

I've never heard of Lauren Southern before, but I'm glad they threw pee on her. Also, something I've been wondering: What's the story behind the current antifa movement? Have they been around this whole time and I just wasn't aware? Did everyone just decide to start throwing on black for protests after the election?

Never forget that for all the crowing about "liberal welfare moochers" deep red states take way more welfare per capita than blue states. Blue states actually feed positive money into these programs while the red ones take more than they give in. Of course that doesn't jive with the narrative that "urban" people are stealing our tax dollars!
