When police don't follow the laws already on the books, I don't see what public outrage would accomplish. Seems like every week there is public outrage when an unarmed black person gets shot in the back by a police officer "scared for their life" or "they touched their belt!" but yet, almost zero firings, zero prosecutions, zero reform, and so on for thirty plus years.

I do care about DV, but with all of the issues the police in the US have in terms of corruption, abuse, incompetence, and how they're constantly protected by politicians, judges, and prosecutors, what can be done? We cannot even stop killers, how do you expect us to stop DV? Police drunk drive with impunity!

I guess people pick on the NFL because the NFL has actually been responsive and at least SOMETHING happens. They would try to get the police to deal with internal-DV too if they thought it might accomplish anything.

The police are so beyond society's control now that no amount of bitching about DV will solve anything.

It's a no-true-scotsman fallacy at heart.

Pretty common though: North Korea is a democratic state (according to its name), but not real democracy. National Socialism wasn't really socialist. The UK isn't a real monarchy.

It's a language game compelled by the guilt-by-association level of political sophistication of our culture. When the debate is rarely more sophisticated than 'that's socialist, like Hitler!!!!1!', it's no wonder that the response has to be 'that wasn't true socialism'.
He mentioned that 1M cores only gets to about 1% of the human brain. But 10x mouse brains. But as he also mentions, this is in raw power, whereas much of what makes our brains function is the topology or other aspects that are unknown and they can't model.

The US financed Bin Laden and the Afghani Mujaheddin to counterbalance the Soviets in Central Asia in the 80s despite the clear signs of Islamic terrorism gathering pace in the late 70s destabilizing the region and the middle east as well.

So all bets are off with these people.

It doesn't have to taste bad to force you to eat it in moderation. There are examples out there. People complain that Pepsi is too sweet, and you can only drink a small amount before they can't drink anymore. You could also talk about the salt levels on certain foods (where after a certain amount they start tasting too salty, etc). Food makers want their food to never make you say, "Ok, that's enough this is getting too {sweet,salty,sugary,etc}". That's different from the food tasting bad.

Two way bindings are awesome for demos.

They tend to introduce a fair amount of unnecessary complexity in real world applications. Especially if you have to deal with changes that don't happen in real time or intermediate states or two different formats of presentation for the same data.

The workaround for two way bindings in React is relatively easy compared to the kind of hoops you have to jump through when you start with two way bindings and have to backtrack because of pesky real world requirements.

In China, Xiaomi phone users have a "report spam" button, and if X number of people report that phone number as a spammer, calls from that number get blocked on all other Xiaomi phones. (I think X = 5, but I'm not sure.)

That's a great suggest, I would love to see this. That's how it should work. Just like the flag button on this website. If enough people "flag" a number then it gets effectively disabled.

As you say, it would have to happen at the FCC level as individual telephone networks don't actually know for real where a call originated from.
If they form dictatorships, they are by definition not democratic socialists
I live in a place that will never ban plastic bags and residents often fly giant flags from posts on their pickup trucks further reducing their fuel efficiency.

But it seems this is a sort of social game designed to trick people into doing the "right thing". Would it not be a better solution to mandate use of plant-based biodegradable bags or just regular old paper bags like in the good old days?
also NoScript for browsers to block unwanted scripts from running in the background
That's a very liberal (no pun intended) use of the term "dictatorship". I think we should be careful to reserve it for countries which are actually dictatorships, not just countries whose policies or methods of government we disagree with or dislike. Venezuela and Nicaragua were not dictatorships under any realistic definition of the word; they had democratically elected governments within the rule of law, with finite terms and with clear means of political participation.

The problem with "dictatorship" is that it's become a curse word. There is a similar problem with "fascism": it has become a way to insult people or governments, whether their are actually fascist (unlikely) or not (more likely).
Cable TV: Socialism That Works?
if you can't control it, you can't trust it

Exactly, which is why Microsoft and enterprise IT like to control the updates. If they can't control the updates, they can't trust the computer!

Unpatched, dated, or even EoL OS versions has been a big problem for a long time, and it's arguably even more serious of an issue than dated versions of Chrome.

You want that control for yourself, and I can relate to that, but 99% of users cannot be trusted with that control which is why this happened.
You're giving me ideas :P

The problem is that I don't have time to build a monolithic app that serves as both a good Chinese dictionary and a good flashcard app; it's much easier to cobble together a system using existing software.

I read the article again. The researchers simply seem to be saying that what seem like complex decisions can be made in simple organisms as long as the ability to increment a "counter" when a certain condition occurs is possible. The slot machine example actually requires a "counter" that can increase and decrease when opposing conditions occur. This seems very obvious...

Don't be. They are the real elitists, the ones accepting the suffering of the millions of people as necessary in achieving their goals.

Moreover, their beliefs are also often based on the ignorant premises (religious myths!). A good example of high levels that believe in religious myths are some US politicians:

"With a million cores we only get to about 1% of the scale of the human brain"

Interesting. So in terms of raw computing power, the totality of computers out there is much more powerful than a brain. I wonder when we first passed that level as a whole. (I know that we wouldn't use all our computers to make a "brain", but I think it's interesting to think about :)

> Most of the time, an unqualified "deflation" means "a trend of declining retail prices, as measured by non-adjusted currency." And I know why economists in the employ of monetary authorities hate it. It means that there was a missed opportunity for that authority to steal more from the economy by inflating the money supply at a faster rate.

> This is what monetary authorities and their pet macroeconomists have given us since 1970. The ordinary march of human progress--which has steadily given us an approximate annualized return of 1.5% per year, failing only temporarily due to wars, plagues, or other catastrophes--now goes directly into an annual inflation of the money supply of at least 1.5%.

Someone hasn't heard of the various inflation-caused panics of the 1800s or deflationary economic problems pre-1900. applauds Read some history books.

Introducing azk: an even simpler way to deploy to DigitalOcean
Build Your Own Bank? SVB Lets Customers Do Just That
Windows 7 seems to be getting better every day.
(a) seems to be the generally accepted reason behind the runup to $1200 but (b) is patently false. I sold coins on coinbase and mtgox during this period and received deposits of USD within the week. The amounts were all below the six figure mark, so perhaps there were individuals with million dollar or more holdings that had issues finding instant liquidity. However, I imagine this is true of almost all assets of comparable size.
Hi! We're a startup named Azuki and we created azk.

azk [0] is an open source development environment orchestrator for your local machine.

It is operated mainly via a CLI plus a manifest file (Azkfile.js) that describes architectures on a functional level (and the tool takes care of the rest).

You can quickly configure and start environments for new projects or for previously existing ones on top of which you'd like to iterate.

Everything runs on containers instead of VMs (currently, that means only Docker, but there are interesting additions on the way, such as hyper [1]).

It's really neat. Now, we've just added deployment features specifically for DigitalOcean at first.

You can check more azk tutorials on [2].

Nice work. I tried the chord exercises. As a feature request, it would be nice if everything could be driven by the (computer) keyboard shortcuts because moving the mouse and clicking on various buttons got tiresome.

Something like pressing "N" for next chord, and press "1", "2", "3", "4" to quickly pick one of the four possible answers. You can also add a stopwatch display showing user's "think" time.

Quick keyboard reaction with pressure of beating previous times would really get those Jeopardy quiz muscles working.

Also, if the chord exercise could also reveal the actual note names in addition to the scale degree, that would be very helpful. (e.g. show "G# Major - 1 3 5" instead of just "1 3 5")

Lastly, as an really ambitious feature, it would be very cool if the website could cross-reference the chord with popular songs that happen to use it. For example, the test generates a random chord C Major 1 3 5 and one of the buttons is "hear Example Song" and it plays the first fragment of Bill Withers "Lean on Me" because that songs starts on a C Major. The source of Bill Withers song could come from a "deep link" into youtube. The database of cross-references would have to be "crowdsourced" so that users could submit thousands of examples. It would definitely be a lot of work but I'm just typing a wish list.
is there a way to have Pade approximation but with continued fractions, so you just truncate the series as necessary? I tried looking into this a few months ago, but my head just started to hurt.

Looks like a great idea, to me! But I think the appeal of the Sensel Morph is much more broad, and your project seems quite niche.
Individual websites may be able to protect yourselves by:

- Using HTTPS directly, in particular with HSTS set (optimal).

- Use a third party like CloudFlare to add HTTPS via their proxy.

- Alternatively: HTTP with Content Security Policy set (since it will reject their scripts and CSS running as it isn't in the whitelist). This is only a short term solution since they can alter the CSP header, but it will work if you're stuck on HTTP for now. We bounce a lot of advertisers and malware off of our site this way.

Ultimately this is yet another "Use HTTPS!" broken record. But the CSP solution works until they get wise to it.

Thanks for pointing out that Google's chosen data may be questionable. I found two other sources citing more like ~2.5% market share, which is in line with what you cite. I was motivated to go check our analytics and we're at more than 7% IE 8, so way too high for us to think about dropping support.

I speculate that sites with low numbers of IE 8 users are typically oriented towards more technically savvy users, and/or if those sites were never working for IE 8 to begin with and so never had an opportunity to pick up IE 8 users in the first place.
True. Looks abandoned to me. Last updates in 2013.
We need to stop classifying whole swaths of ideas as junk because they sound too similar to 'conspiracy theories'. This dogma is unspeakably harmful to the truth and is easy to cultivate by those on the other end, by those who would be served better if the opposition were bearers of tinfoil, not bearers of bad news. Most of it is bullshit, sure, but most people are indeed 'sheep' (for lack of a better word), they don't do any sort of digging to figure out the truth for themselves. Whoever gets to them first earns the right to spread their own opinion, since the first opinion is the hardest to change.

"Darn" is a minced oath. Mist, simply means "crap" or "manure". A pile of manure is called "Misthaufen" (crap heap), a pitchfork for handling manure is called "Mistforke" or "Mistgabel" (crap fork). It's a bit vulgar but so is the subject matter.

But you can also use it as a general expression of discontent: "Mist!" is something you might exclaim if you just dropped something expensive and fragile. It's still vulgar but it's something you'd find far more appropriate around the young ones than the harsher "Scheiße!" (shit).

It's basically the little brother of "shit" in the same way as "dumb" is the little brother of "retarded".

You might legitimately hear someone curse at the "Mistkatze" (Katze = cat) that just peed on the bed, or the "Mistauto" (Auto = car) that refuses to start or simply shout "So ein Mist!" when they find out they've spent the past hour aligning the wallpaper upside down.

The equivalent of "damn" would be "verdammt" and there are minced oaths for that in German as well (although nowadays they're generally considered cute and not something you'd use only because you're mild-mannered or religious).
