I honestly don't think anyone would disagree with those rules of engagement. The cops simply make errors of judgment. Bringing them to justice would be ideal, but it seems to be a case of some are more equal than others (esp. if you're in a powerful union).
There's a lot there that looks familiar there to the Erlang developer, where many things are built in.
In my personal opinion Harper started off as a good leader because he did exactly what he said he would do. Lately (past couple of years) I get the feeling he has been a bit of a loose canon, and I feel like the government that had been representing the public's desires fairly well became suddenly divorced from what the people want now. We've seen law after law go through that nobody was in favour of, so it's kind of feeling like having Jean Chretien back with his autocratic 'dictatorship' leadership style.

Having said my opinion on Harper's leadership, I feel that Harper has acted well in this situation, not a failure at all. It's in our best interest to not be in this deal, or if we must for us to negotiate the terms that give us benefit and limit the sovereignty we have to forfeit. That seems to be the position we are in now so I'd say he's done an okay job of putting us where we need to be. Let's hope we get get the courage to ditch the TPP entirely!
It doesn't matter because you don't have to maintain it.
It is unfair to quote that statistic. Germany has one of the strictest gun control laws in the world and one needs to give a reason for owning a gun and self-defense is not an accepted reason: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_legislation_in_Germany

Given that it is harder for an individual to obtain a gun, it naturally makes it less often that the German police will need to discharge their weapon.

Wow. That's crazy. Strange thing was reading the staff comments that didn't justify why sharing one folder and deleting that share should delete everything else. I haven't used Dropbox in a while but I know most of these services can do things on a per folder basis. Why they'd make this design decision versus one with limited damage is beyond me. Even if it makes sense somehow, both accounts should have to agree to delete everything if both will be effected.
>What you're missing is that those things only exist for purchase because someone invested capital in their production

True. Most of the time at least. This is assuming it isn't some indie project, but for the most part I'll agree and say it is true.

>you only learn about the original media because money was spent on marketing in its home territory.

I hate to enter a semantic debate but I don't consider announcements to be marketing, although I can understand how one could interpret them as such.

People learn about the original media through the fansub groups who learn about the product through announcements of upcoming works from the studios and/or the native TV rippers (I forget their actual name). Only a small, niche market of foreigners who happen to also speak Japanese hear about it from marketing in the home territory. There are fangroups who, at the start of each season, compile the upcoming works from each studio. That is all the marketing that most of the pirating consumers get - and none of it is from marketing the product in Japan.

>If all you have is the IP and no capital, which is the position that most authors are in, then you can't easily cash in on the merchandising possibilities or purchase the marketing resources to focus public attention on your product at scale.

Which is why free advertisement from pirates is a benefit. Which is part of what I'm getting at...then there's the entire doujinshi market which runs counter to this claim. Many doujinshi artists become very popular because of a single sale that is then scanned and distributed to people who then pirate the work. The artist can gain a lot of popularity through this pirating of their work, which results in more sales in the future.

>Have you ever tried to sell a creative product? Maybe you should.

I have.

> The reality is that 'potentially free marketing' is a terrible bootstrap strategy for many creative products.

I already replied to this. >I can understand not encouraging it or even encouraging buying the product but not acting like piracy is a heinous crime that robs them.

>If your only marketing option is to give it away free

Nowhere did I say that.

>Look, if you sat down, learned to draw, and made your own anime book and put it up on the internet for free without caring about copyright, do you think money just comes rolling in? It won't, even if it's good and popular.

Ignoring your bad assumptions, do you think an artist would make money if their initial marketing, at some level, wasn't free? How many artists would make sales without a portfolio or free display of their work? How many musicians would get signed to a label without an EP?
Well this is obviously a biased piece; that may explain the unflattering phrasing.
Westfalias are expensive because they are a bit of a fetish item. I have a 2000 converted camper van (pop top, fridge, solar panels, stove, running water) that I bought for 13k. It's still expensive, but not compared to a tempermental westfalia that's 20 years older.

If I record some music, sign it to a label, and then leave, the label owns the rights, and payments for copies of that music goes to them.

I notice you're leaving out the part where the label gives you money in return for those rights, as well as your ability to negotiate the terms of the agreement you sign.

If I record some music, give it away for free, and advertise a Kickstarter for my next album, nobody gains anything from trying to sell my previous album.

What's better about that? You're not engineering an outcome in which you get paid, you're engineering an outcome in which nobody makes any money, and you think that by doing so you've now brought the publishers down to your level and so you've achieved some kind of economic parity.

You're basically saying that best strategy for people in the arts is to do a bunch of work for nothing, hope that it becomes popular (by doing additional unpaid work on marketing) and then go on strike.
I'd be willing to bet most people use their parents address, or a friend, or a girlfriend/boyfriend. They can probably also use their actual work address for some things or a po box.
I like how they run product development in the company similar to doing startups in parallel. It's an interesting and intuitive approach. The Hack Week is a nice improvement on it. I'd like to see an organization compare this to Google's time division approach to see which performs better over time in terms of innovation.
A lot of people from older generation of koreans cannot even speak proper korean. They know only japanese words and phrases.

And some japanese lovers and pseudo-humanists are going to bash americans for ending the war the best possible way ?

Are you kidding me ? 20k koreans died in the bombings. Korean survivors were not recognized victims and were denied free-healthcare. And that was after the war.

And you anime lovers are going to defend this nation ? Are you damn serious ?

My wife has a phobia of snakes and worms. This isn't going well for my Model X sales pitch to her...
The snake arm is quite simple. The "snake" part is a set of dumb hinged segments; it's all cable-driven from the base. The application does not require much rigidity or repeatability. The load is low; it's just carrying a power cable. There's probably a camera at the end of the tentacle to guide the connector to the car's power socket. The car opens the connector cover, so there's no need for a mechanism on the robot to do that. This is much simpler and far less bulky than the automatic fueling systems that have been built to refuel cars.

The marketing value of this is enormous. People won't have to get out of their cars and get their hands dirty handling a gas hose. This is going to go over big with women.

Not strictly on-topic or generally interesting, but for any of us who've read Neal Stephenson's new novel 'Seveneves', this reveal has a thin extra layer of interestingness:

In that book, a character who is an obvious analogue for Elon Musk sponsors the development of a variety of asteroid mining robots, including a type that superficially resembles this thing. 'Siwis' are, unlike this real thing, modular, semi-autonomous, self-propelling, and meant for operating in zero-gravity.

But still... snake robot sponsored by Elon Musk, out of nowhere.

Isn't it that you just need your build to be signed by a registered copy of XCode/OSX (don't know specifically what it is)?

So you can actually just send the code developed on your windows box off to a third party build server, which will be an actual registered mac - you get the compiled binary back and then submit that to the app store, no worries.

I'm not sure if the rules around this have changed but IIRC from a couple of years ago when I last checked, this is what Adobe were doing with their phonegap build server - you send them up your phonegap project which can be written on anything (windows, linux, etc), they compile it to apps for various platforms and send you back those binaries, you then just submit these to the various platform app stores. Again, IIRC, this included iOS apps.
maybe is a stupid and generic question, but I will ask it :)

The litigation was settled in 2001 (according to that page) but occurred before then. MS shipped their Java implementation since at least 1997, which included P/Invoke and COM interop – things that encouraged integration with native (platform-specific) win32 libraries and look pretty much the same in C#.
But others lament the way the extreme casualness of sex in the age of Tinder leaves many women feeling de-valued. “It’s rare for a woman of our generation to meet a man who treats her like a priority instead of an option,” wrote Erica Gordon on the Gen Y Web site Elite Daily, in 2014.

If a woman doesn't want to feel like an option, shouldn't she stay far away from Tinder? It's not like there isn't a million other ways for women to meet men, if she has the slightest inclination.
>One of the failures of teaching a balanced history is to ignore what was going on in Asia in the run up to the war.

No. That's one of the failures of POORLY teaching history. Don't confuse a "balanced history" with "half of history".
No, call it what it is. I think "shoot to wound" is the correct way to describe it.

"shoot to disable" sounds too abstract, as if guns were something other than machines designed to puncture human flesh with bits of metal, with the express purpose of causing pain, injury and possibly death. Wounding and killing are pretty much the only settings that guns have.

Hm, I'm not sure. It's hard to tell the scale of something, even something small.

I lived in Japan for six months where I stayed in Aizu, which is in Fukushima, and it was directly after the disaster (Although I was there for different reasons). The bombs that fell on Hiroshima and Nagasaki were something I learned about when I was young because my grandfather was on the USS South Dakota, a battleship that fought in the Pacific theater. Obviously this has sort of shaped my views.

I later looked at which cities were bombed by my grandfather's ship and met some people whose relatives also fought in World War II, so that gave me a bit more perspective, but it's still something that is very hard to judge.

In looking at raw destruction, the Dresden firebombing was more destructive and more lethal. One thing that differentiates this attack was that it was mainly aimed at civilians.

It's no secret – they've promised and demoed that capability for a while – but the rollout has been slow, and may be primarily motivated by gaming the tax-credits available if the Model S has a 'fast-fueling' option. See for example:

Tueller Drill departs from the premise that you can only use your hand gun. This attitude is part of the problem. There is more to self-defense than wielding a hand gun. In certain situations, e.g., in a crowd of people, using a hand gun is definitely not a good idea. The notion of what distances is dangerous seems like a red herring; to me it only seems to prove that distance is not a very good indicator of what is threatening.

This is absolutely true, but I have trouble seeing the relevancy of stating that in how it relates to the fact that two non-military, civilian-dense cities were bombed. Normally killing hundreds of thousands of civilians for political gains is considered terrorism, easily a warcrime, despite the fact their government may be driving its population to horrible atrocities all over Asia, or not doing enough to prevent them. In fact I don't think the US really covers this enough, it's usually brought as merely the end of a bloody war, when you can find many generals who opposed, arguable claims that the bombs were the first political move in the cold war as a gesture of power towards the Soviet Union and as a way to have Japan surrender to the US rather than the allies, and therefore under US terms which would cement US-Japanese relations (which are solid to this day), as a test, and within a context where Japan may have offered to surrender under similar conditions as the US ultimately demanded, many months earlier. To be fair, there is no academic consensus on any of these points, but many are credible and sensible claims for which evidence does exist, and my experience of the standard reading in US culture makes little mention of this. It's mostly seen as a necessary evil that saved many lives by ending the war abruptly, which isn't incorrect, but far from the comprehensive truth or the only credible historical narrative.

But as for Japan's whitewashing, yes, in and of itself, viewed separately from the nuclear debate, you're absolutely right. It's quite astonishing they haven't gotten this right yet, and with what power a wrongful national narrative can continue to exist in the age of internet, globalisation and relatively little Japanese censorship. You'd think the latest generation would be acutely aware of its history. And it's not as if they haven't changed. They've done more than enough to consider themselves among the most civilised countries since then, of course there is a sense of shame but we're approaching an age where nobody during that time was alive, and where even the generation after it is on their way out. Internally Japan is long overdue in recognising these parts of its history in full, and I think purely internally few Japanese really would have an issue with that, as painful as it would be, just like I'm completely comfortable as a Dutch person to acknowledge my country's colonial and slave history. But these things are particularly externally, politically sensitive, in terms of Japan's international relations with the various powerhouses in Asia (China and Korea, and populous emerging economies like say Indonesia). Similar to say, if I were a Dutch politician I may be more concerned how our standing in the world changes when recognising the full extent of our colonial history (e.g. apologising for certain political executions the Netherlands committed are still controversial) Just like say Turkey and the Armenian genocide. Although even here as an outsider I think it would warm Japan's relations immensely if it were to reach out in sympathy and make at the very least symbolic gestures like small reparations.

So, it might be partway through it's development cycle for Space X, but good enough right now for use here on earth.
