That is accurate. Your vehicle is not allowed to be equipped with a radar detector that is powered or accessible to the driver.

The police even have radar detector detectors.
This is ridiculous. Handling real threads is much more complicated than handling async calls and the event loop of JavaScript.

Thanks for heads up on blog had missed that. Great!
Fat chance of that happening with all the money they're making from it:

These kind of untargeted display ads are amongst the lowest ROI ads online, but advertisers still seem all too happy to pony up vast sums for them. They call it "branding", I think.
If you receive money on a credit card and pay expenses on a credit card, you're virtually guaranteed to have positive cash flow. It's one of those services you're buying when you pay CC processing fees.

Example: Suppose I am in a "Buy things for $50, sell them for $60" like Magic is. Day 0 is the transaction day. I buy the good/service for $50 on my Amex and capture a $60 transaction from the end-user using Stripe. Stripe sends me 97% of $60 on day 2. It arrives in my bank account on day 5. My next Amex statement is, probabilistically, issued on day 15, and includes the $50 I spent to service my customer. On day 22, I instruct my bank to transfer Amex $50. (We'll ignore the relevant detail that I'm generating cash rewards from Amex up the wazoo once I hit scale.)

In addition to $8.20 or so of revenue I've also had ~17 days of use of someone else's $58.20.

> I don't think there are many companies who have the depth of info security knowledge that Github can draw upon

That's true and I believe in that as well. However, GitHub also poses a much larger attack surface than any single company and it's safe to assume that once someone is in, they're going to get _everything_.
Apart of that, you're also vulnerable to having GitHub disgruntled employees accessing your data, and the inherent vulnerability in having a remotely accessible repo in the first place.
...I couldn't find a way to get the Java APIs to render image data that was stored in memory used by C; you had to copy the data back into Java first.

I think you could use a GPU surface for that. On iOS there's IOSurface, which is basically a GPU-accessible memory buffer from the window manager that can be shared between processes. AFAIK there's something similar on Android, but I'm not sure off-hand what it's called.

The idea is to get a surface and blit your image there on the C side; then access that surface as a texture on the Java side and draw it directly into a view. That way the pixels are never touched by the Java code.

The problem with automation is that it's completely dependent on inputs from sensors, and those do malfunction. This incident from last year involves fighting the automation due to exactly such a problem:

Actually, yes. There's the MMPI, there are standard tests for conditions like Alzheimer's, and many others. These tests have reasonable - not perfect, but useful - correlations with observable and reported behaviours.

I'm not aware of any specific tests for suicidal ideation, but the FAA explicitly disqualifies pilots diagnosed with bipolar disorder, and other personality disorders are cause for concern.

I don't know if carriers include other checks. IMO it would be weird if they didn't - but I'm not a carrier.

My guess is that if it's aggressive suicide there will be some high-stress triggering incident in the recent past - debt, blackmail, a weird sexual history, a relationship breakup, or something of that ilk. Possibly even a very negative work review from an insane boss.

If there's nothing at all, that would be very strange and unusual.

These are market prices. Keep in mind both that a politician will have thousands of such donors, and that a business needs to purchase dozens of politicians. Businesses are incentivized to pay as little as possible in order to gain the desired level of influence.

Avoiding public transport goes a long way when avoiding colds. Could that be it?
Short selling has several issues. Brokers usually charge a fee for the borrowed asset (stock), this fee is clearly usury/interest. Also, it creates risk with the hope of gaining money, without any corresponding value being created. Shorting exposes three parties to the risk of a stock or asset (the shorter, the original owner, and the new owner), compared to a regular trade where risk is transferred from one party to another, and no new risk is created. I found this article[0] that goes into details about the dangers of short selling (see the sections on margins and overshooting specifically). Salam sales do not have those issues.

Furthermore, goods for which the quality and quantity cannot be specified cannot be sold by Salam contracts, as per the Hadith in my previous post (e.g. gems or precious stones since each is considered different), and I've seen at least one source that also exempts stocks from being tradable in Salam contracts due to high uncertainty (called Gharar sales in Islam, also prohibited).

As far as selling Salam contracts before they are fulfilled, I do not know. What sorts of issues or benefits can result from selling such a contract before it is fulfilled?

Edit: I think it is prohibited as well, as now the buyer is selling something that he does not yet possess. So you have the same item being sold multiple times before taking delivery. This narration should be the basis of prohibition:

> The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) forbade selling goods in the place where they were bought until the merchants had moved them to their own location.

> Apologies for all the questions this is fascinating

No problem! I'll do my best to answer what I know.

Why not look for key indicators of immunity in the authorized dosage group, then compare against indicators in the reduced dosage group?

This is part of my complaint. Why is a large trial, or even a challenge trial (which I also support), the only way to get results here?

There is more to science than reading statistics from trials. They should be able to ask and answer very specific questions based on the working model proven far. Then scale those results to the broader problem.
That does not justify your 133% figure, nor the explanation you gave for it. That explanation implied that four-engined airliners could only tolerate the loss of a single engine.

Could you elaborate on that a bit more? I have ADHD and am very interested in anything about it but have never heard anything like that.
I'm not convinced there's great utility in smart contracts, but if there is, I think there's a huge utility in contracts being declarative and statically typed, to avoid many of the problems we've seen with existing contracts. In that case, a statically typed Prolog dialect would be a good starting point. The contract would be a set of declarative rules describing acceptable next states of the contract. To make the contracts verifiable in linear time, the submitter would submit the next state of the contract, plus a compact binary representation of the path taken through the rules set, so no backtracking would occur in the verifier. You could allow recursion, as verification time would still be linear in the size of the submitted compact path representation, just not linear in the size of the contract. If you disallow recursion, then verification would also be linear in the size of the contract.

Granted, many of the problems with Ethereum Solidity contracts are more to do with all of its use of implicit behavior (in a misguided attempt to hide the complexity of contracts) rather than directly consequences of Solidity being imperative.

Here's a quick plug for Mercury[0], a statically typed dialect of Prolog with an optimizing native code compiler. Supposedly it's 5 to 10 times faster than commercial Prolog compilers or available interpreters.

Didn't work:

- BASIC, Ruby, Python, Java setups + intros, tutorials.
- LEGO Mindstorms
- Scratch, Squeak
- Coding classes / camps

Note that I "made these things "available" but never pushed. I'd set up the environment, show him to to edit and run the code, and pointed him to tutorials. After some time went by I'd show him the next thing. Rinse and repeat.

Worked:

A Texas Instruments programmable calculator. He read the manual, played with it a bit, then found out he could automate some of his homework. Then found out he could make simple games. Then fairly impressive games.

After that, he did a bunch of Minecraft programming and loved it.

Fast forward a decade and he smokes through Advent of Code without breaking a sweat, and is a co-founder and CTO.

I.e. all my efforts to pique interest didn't have any effect that I could see. He had to find his own way to it.
It is awesome that you are having fun with your son, and actively curating a path to fun with programming. It is very likely he will look back at the time you spent with him in this area with great fondness. If he wants to continue to program later or not, this quality time is the most important. Kids want to spend time with their dads.
As someone who is second generation, I would like to learn it, but the main roadblock is that there are several forms of romanization and none of the resources are particularly consistent with each other.
I hope this doesn't come across as inhumane, but hypothetically what would be the bio-diversity/eco-system impact of simply exterminating or at least curbing these huge bat colonies.

I mean technically we already have a precedent with trying to stop mosquito reproduction to curb malaria and other mosquito transmitted diseases.

I understand that from a virology standpoint there is a lot to learn from bats and that they have an insanely robust immune system but is it really reasonable to allow these colonies to thrive unchecked with thousands of bats tightly packed together? It's just that it seems the most recent threats Ebola, MERS, SARS-Cov1, now SARS-Cov2, all seem to have had a bat colony as it's genetic origin.
We do it with maths and languages. Why not programming? It is just another tool exactly like math and language.
She said that when the FO did not know what to do, he became extremely anxious and would start pushing a lot of buttons without thinking about what he was pushing, just to be doing something.

You'd think that the simulator would be able to detect inappropriate button pushes in a given situation, and produce a report stating that it had happened more than <some threshold> times during an exercise. That should flag the pilot for further evaluation and training...

I smiled when I thought about how homeopathy advocates would view this.
The issue is that theories start with liberal values and assumptions and conservative ideas aren't fairly evaluated.

This creates blind spots in the field. There are examples in the draft paper.

Moreover it taints policy recommendations and causes Republicans to distrust calls for "evidence based policy".

Read the draft paper linked in the article. [http://journals.cambridge.org/images/fileUpload/documents/Du...]
"The reason I don't think that will happen here is Google Reader's pricing model - it's completely gratis to use, with the proviso that your commands and associations are public... As long as new users are using Reader, Google continues to get value from the product. Closing it down wouldn't gain them much."

Sarcasm aside, companies sometimes put such an emphasis on "focus" that commitments to users of their non-core products end up falling by the wayside.
Why do they build such tall buildings in an earth quake area? Why is such an destroyed inhabited building still around 50 years later? In other parts of the world there would be many smaller buildings and inhabited ugly buildings would be removed.

I like the creative use of the building in the video, great work!
There are all kinds of small towns around the west that are pretty isolated. This corner of Oregon has a number of them:

Some people just like that kind of life.

What's odd about the place in the article is that they're all in the same building, which is probably not what most people who want to 'get away from it all' are seeking.

> There are far more constructive ways to handle dislike of the policies than verbally assaulting front-line TSA workers. They're working hard to make a paycheck. They didn't implement the policies and certainly don't need people treating them like shit because of it.

what was the alternative, then? he could've worded it less aggressively initially, but do you really think a TSA agent would've responded to a polite "i don't want you to pat me down"? its their job to pat you down.
Good point! I've never seen this model shoot straight into the top spot on grossing list, I guess that's probably because Capcom jacked up prices on their items. I don't think they'll be allowed to continue this, or Apple will have a revolt on their hands.
Doesn't the "reasonable expectation of privacy" rule apply in this case?
We've already been down this path, and it isn't a yellow-bricked road.

Some argue that you should make it unpleasent for TSA agents to work there because technically they do have a choice for who they work for, and if they choose an employer that is trying to infringe on your rights then showing your upsetness to them might get them to quit and send the message to their employer about the policies.

Frankly I see no problem with what he did. Not only did he stand up for what he believed in, he was persistent and what he asked of the TSA was perfectly reasonable. I point to the following article from The Atlantic:

This past Wednesday, I showed up at Baltimore-Washington International for a flight to Providence, R.I. I had a choice of two TSA screening checkpoints. I picked mine based on the number of people waiting in line, not because I am impatient, but because the coiled, closely packed lines at TSA screening sites are the most dangerous places in airports, completely unprotected from a terrorist attack -- a terrorist attack that would serve the same purpose (shutting down air travel) as an attack on board an aircraft.

http://www.theatlantic.com/national/archive/2010/10/for-the-...

If the someone gets to the airport with explosives, they can do their job of holding up airline traffic without even stepping through a metal detector. The TSA know this, and all of this security theatre is getting out of hand. I mean, they banned ink cartridges last week!

Eventually they might get the message and spend time on developing better ways of catching the terroists than inconviencing the American public.

Or they might just ban humans on airplanes. That would certainly stop the attacks...

You know, people told me that living forever will be boring.

Then I pointed out that people, well, forget. That they can't possibly remember everything. I also knew that memories are quite unreliable and fictional.(I often fabricated memories about where I left my keys, which is often indistinguishable from true memories in my mind)

Of course, somebody suggest that we should build more reliable memories for longer lifespan, and another suggests that there will be so much to learn for a really long time so we won't get bored living a long life.

>> What we need now is a good EV charging infrastructure.

Haha. I've just started working on the charging end of this, after years of drivetrain stuff. The J1772 standards for chargers has some good features and some... politics. Biggest complaint: why mandate a PHY for broadband over power lines when the signals dont go over the high current conductors? Next up, everyone wants to play middleman with billing systems and cloud connections.

Tesla, can we all just use your connectors before more of this nonsense gets built?

Whataboutism has its merit in this instance. If the U.S wants to show its moral superioriry it needs to actually try becoming morally superior. Which I am not sure it is. Otherwise it reeks of hypocrisy and people rightly suspects most Americans do not care about China's morals at all but about losing their hegemony to China. So its easy to become a cynic when seeing these debates.
But that significant amount of time could have been in the supply chain prior to your acquiring it.

attributing who got what would be a challenge though.
Ally added buckets last year on their savings accounts which is the same kind of idea, just not quite as mature yet.
I'm sure I was in that room with Reed (the OP) a year ago in November. Although I don't recall the details of the conversation, I do recall the feeling within the F# community of accomplishment up until then (Nov. 2013), and excitement looking forward. As the post summarizes, 2014 was a year of great progress for both the F# language and the community. On the community side I used to know personally or through social media most of the movers and shakers. Today it seems like there is a steady stream of new contributors posting OSS projects and technical articles, far too many for me to remember or keep up with. Sergy Tihon's F# Weekly https://sergeytihon.wordpress.com/category/f-weekly/ covers more F# news than I can possibly track.

If you believe the future of software engineering includes strongly typed functional languages, then F# is the place to be for many reasons:

1) Microsoft has settled into the role of corporate curator of the language, core libraries, and core tools. I personally know the small MS team supporting F#, and I can tell you they are motivated, enthusiastic, and very capable in this role. I can also tell you the major players in the other MS language and tooling teams take an interest in following the progress of F#. Not to mention the world's most advanced quantum computing simulation compiler is written in F#. http://research.microsoft.com/apps/pubs/default.aspx?id=2096...

2) F# is Microsoft's longest running major OSS effort, and the experience no doubt played a role in how MS roled out the recent open sourcing of .NET and commitment to making .NET cross-platform. Keep an eye on developments in this area, it will strengthen F# as a cross platform language.

3) And finally if you have an interest in hacking on functional languages, core components, libraries, tooling, etc., this is the place to be. You can make OSS contributions which will make a difference to users around the world.
I'm still getting a non-cleared buffer played a bit louder/incorrectly/not-in-sequence when I start playing a AC3 music in .m4a files using the latest Hajo's 1.6.7 in Mac 10.10.1 in a MacBookPro 15 Retina. The buffered audio is clearly from whatever was playing when your engine was shut down because if I was playing a silent portion of a song when I closed the previous .m4a then opening the next .m4a with Quicktime X plays that silence (unnoticeably). But if I was playing a loud song before closing previous .m4a then opening the next plays an stray buffer with the previous song. So maybe you need to clear the buffer one more time when the engine detects that audio is coming into your genuine fake sound card (processing engine).
It's important to be able to do both.
This. Even mildly popular library maintainers will be indifferent or hostile for even the most agreeable PR. Sometimes its just easier to fork and run your own version for this reason, but it makes contributing back to the community difficult.
