Mankind has always been at war with itself over resources.

The introduction of nuclear weapons only removed the option of total war from the table, all the other regular warfare standards are still in play.
I don't know about you guys, but I don't play violent video games because I'm a violent person. I don't even think specifically about the violence.

I think that one of the important outlets of video games is letting you do or experience things that you wouldn't experience in real life.

Even if that means driving a car up the sidewalk at a fancy outdoor mall and running over scores of people.

Perhaps not more, but faster and perhaps more thoroughly in order to change the player's risk assessment.

By the time these companies are called out they amass huge war chests and tie these things up in the courts for years while enriching their investors and management teams.

Then, when the hammer falls, that company disintegrates on some level and, often, these management teams spread to similar companies and do it all over again.

Obviously, something is not working. When something is not working the answer is almost never 'let's keep things the same and hope it turns out better.'

I agree that the chips could be cheaper with the right killer app. It's a matter of time. Tech "thought leaders" think that time is now. I think it's still a few years off.

But what solves the issue of being useless? And what is that price-lowering killer app gonna be if IOT means shoving a wifi adapter in your blender?
Parse or Firebase come to my mind... both have very generous starter plans.

Maybe you should also add, that the A-10 can carry 1,174 rounds for its front Gatling (from your link).
It says that the brain stem was still attached, and it controlled most reflex actions. I wouldn't consider that a 'conscious' animal, especially with the reduced sensory input.

The point is, you could lobotomize animals to make 'conscious' animals unconscious, basically turning it into a vegetable. Is that what you want though?
>I don't deny at all that it can be unfair, but I don't think inflexible rules like three-strikes sort of laws or draconian minimum sentences that take away the judge's wiggle room are any fairer.

So what happens when punishments begin to show an even stronger racial bias. For example, the argument that a white offender is safe to release because they are more likely to get a job which reduces their chance of committing a crime. Never mind that they are more likely to get a job because of institutionalize racism in our society.

>You're not only taking away their freedom, you're also taking away their kid.

A prison sentence for a rich individual hurts their income far more (and they are less likely to engage in crime once they are out due to higher education and better ability to find employment), so rich people should only be given a fraction of the sentence... the conclusion using this line of reasoning do seem to end poorly.

>The case of auto makers breaching environmental rules is much simpler though as a large fine

Except it attached a price tag to breaking the law, which fundamentally changes how businesses approach the law. Imagine what would happen if every crime was fined a fraction of what it earned you.
> Hollywood IT proposes that people who know nothing about computers all "know" that every computer thing that has ever been invented is trivially interoperable with every other computer thing that has ever been invented on a fast hollywood movie timescale given a sufficiently advanced computer mage to recite some incantations and be treated as socially inferior if its a plot requirement. I think everyone here is experienced enough to laugh at that.

Yes, although the details are important.

On a theoretical scale without any time limits and any space limits, anything every invented is interoperable with every other computer every invented. Hollywood is not really wrong there but just tosses out the practical issues because of the rule of cool. And "no time and space limits" is just wishful thinking as every computer has those constraints.

Of course, trying to hook up a Mac to a alien computer for transferring a computer virus is not impossible. It's just highly unlikely to succeed within a few hours of preparation. But it would have made a less entertaining movie. ;-)

There have been quite a few of these exploits over the years, where you can trick a program running in locked mode into thinking it's in unlocked mode. It seems like they really need to have completely separate programs to run in locked mode that can't access anything except via defined APIs.
wut up, dawg.
I've used sheetrock (https://github.com/chriszarate/sheetrock) with good success in the past. But this definitely seems more refined.
Compared to "no encryption", a S4 mini (Dual-core 1.7 GHz. 1.5 GB RAM) is almost unusable (~30 seconds to switch to an app that's stale, i.e. not one of the last few apps used) under Cyanogenmod 12.1 with full disk encryption on. Without encryption is was ~"ok" to use, not fast, but bearable.
My argument is that you shouldn't. Time in prison should be equal, regardless if you are a poor homeless guy who committed the crime or a filthy rich mutual fund manager whose fund will lose massive amounts of value.
Still works now though so it holds true. However for instance Android is used far more than Windows and iOS is getting close and those are still not close the misery Windows is in this regard.
There are a few ways that can and should be fixed to "fail closed". For instance, "locked" status should get stored somewhere outside the memory of any one process, so that if the system UI crashes, when it comes back up, before it displays any application, it should notice that it was previously in the locked state and go back to the locked state.
The article mentions Etsy as another B-Corp - but fails to mention that Etsy's founder went on record saying it would never IPO. (Aside: someone should really write a tell-all on the first 5 or so years of that company. There are some crazy stories.)

I'm not discounting the motives behind anyone choosing to become a B-Corp, but it's important to note that it's not a legal distinction (like say becoming a 501c3) and you might go so far as to say it's closer to a marketing strategy than an operating strategy.
Compiling to PDF as a display format, and being amenable to translation to another markup format that retains the structure of the original markup, are slightly different tasks.

In general, I'd agree with the parent that LaTeX is something of a dead end in terms of translation. LaTeX will happily compile to PS/PDF/DVI, but translation to something like HTML is pretty reliant on using a subset of LaTeX. You can, after all, write LaTeX code to do computation.

In my experience with Pandoc, there are a good number of packages that simply don't work when translating from LaTeX. The more specialized or formatting specific the package--the further you deviate from the standard Article class and simple section headers--the less likely that you'll have a good result.
Imo the pattern lock is really secure if you make it hidden at lockscreen.
For some, yes. Works for stationary sites. For mobile or previously concealed systems, not so much. You need a way to re-target the weapon in flight, securely, and that's assuming you detect it. If it's a manned platform doing this, then it's more efficient to bomb it where you are (assuming it hasn't detected you in turn!) If it's a different platform, say, a stealthy drone, then you could conceivably direct a cruise missile strike, but this has its own challenges. Cruise missiles take a while to reach their destination, both because they're standoff weapons (hundreds of nm) and their relatively slow speed needed to achieve that range. All cruise missiles in the US inventory are subsonic, and the few international ones that are supersonic are good for only a few dozen km. Hunting mobile systems with cruise missiles isn't too practical for these reasons. Adversaries have been paying attention, and that all of us here can recognize that a US opening move will be "cruise missile wave" should tell you how well you can expect an adversary to be prepared for that.

I posted a link above where it went into detail the vulnerability the A-10 has to small mobile and man-portable missile systems. These warnings became evident in Desert Storm and only got more pronounced as this level of technology trickled down.

The A-10 was viewed as capable in the 70s and 80s, where your primary threats were guns and early mobile missile systems. And even then, the expectation was that the expected lifetime was not very long. They would delay and harass Soviet first-echelon forces, and pay a heavy cost for doing so.

That they took notable losses from a second-rate ground force that had been heavily attributed for 8 years against Iran told the Air Force that this day they would need to be retired would come sooner than expected. They were fine enough for the Balkans and Iraq in '03 when you could reasonably expect to eliminate most anti-air threats with the F-16, but this isn't expected to be feasible in the next conflict. Speed, sensors, and countermeasures (stealth and ECM) are what's needed. Low and slow won't be sufficient unfortunately. The A-10C got some of these improvements in the sensors and ECM department, but unfortunately it's not enough.
They are directly comparable. New drugs don't materialize out of thin air any more than the iPhones or any other applications of basic internet protocols did.

Imagine if in the early 90s we had stiffed cellular phone technology because "only the rich have access to it" or general internet/network technology because "only banks and giant corporations have access to it."

Thanks to capitalism, the technology is now so permeates all sectors of society that some have argued that access it that internet access and smart phones are a human right that should be socialized by the government.

None of these studies are randomized trials. All we've learned is that aggressive kids prefer violent video games to non-violent ones. It's useless.

Thanks; I thought that for corporations, importing drugs was possible. So, basically, big European pharma needs to produce its drugs for the US market in the US?

Anyway, how ironic:

> lack ... a Medicare baseline price
Jeez man. You are all over the road.

The question is whether the statement "Legal is the default state for devices that don't use public roads, public airwaves, etc" is a form a No True Scotsman. You are saying that the answer is "no," because this concept of "legal" is something that you attribute directly to the statutory authority of government alone.

The goal posts haven't moved. My hypothetical describes perfectly the state of the internet today: a bunch of governments claiming authority various realms, and worldwide confusion about what 'the law' is or how it is defined and decided.

You won't be taken seriously by saying, "I have decided that a huge open question in political science is just a simple matter of declarative fact that I need not consider." I mean... do you not realize how ridiculous you sound?

If this 'simple fact' that 'the law' is so easily defined and understood as a 'popularity contest' is self-evident enough to warrant this kind of 'case closed' mentality, then why have the greatest minds in the field been wrestling with it since ancient Greece?

If you refuse to consider the question, then of course you get to make up the answer.

So go ahead. The answer can be "yes," "no," or "unknown" depending on your mood, and you'll always be correct.

Your laziness vis a vis reading the seminal works of law has not only the consequence of making you seem stubborn and misinformed for the purposes of this discussion, but also unfit to be an effective citizen generally.

If you can't bring yourself to participate in even elementary academic discussion, why even visit this site? Just to raise your blood pressure?
Spend an hour at any little league soccer game anywhere, and you'll find most parents there shouting and imploring their children to "be more aggressive" the entire game.

I haven't read the full report yet, but this summary on the one hand takes care to separate the research conclusions between "aggressive" behavior and "violent" or "criminal" behavior, even though it doesn't specify what "aggressive behavior" means, and then seems to turn around and intentionally conflate the two for speculation purposes at every turn.

It is just as difficult to see why the US population would support laws that favor massive companies at the cost of the general populace but they still do. Large companies have no nationality in the realm of politics.

That makes for a superficially witty slogan but look at inner cities.

Poor people have been voting for Democrats for 50 years and they're still poor.

Getting people out of poverty is a lot more complicated than which political party one supports.
I'm pretty sure they mean 'cheaper' as in 'lower total cost including that incurred by the government' not just 'the end consumer pays less'.

It is strange that you seem to believe the free market is the only way to achieve efficiency.
awesome, thanks all! i agree with the sentiments about adding an example. i have a lot of features i want to include as I build this out.
It is a direct consequence of only concerning itself with what can be tested. If it didn't, then it would no longer be science.
This should be testable - I mean, it's not practical to review every car while it's running; but if we have a suspicion that such 'defeat devices' are installed by default, then it should be feasible to simply rent a few random cars of each manufacturer, ducttape some sensors on them, and take them for a loop on a normal highway - if the indications are suddenly significantly different from what you measured in normal testing, then the expected fines will pay for a detailed investigation.

This is the equivalent to saying that a cigarette boat could get a couple shots off in a fight with a battleship because of it's maneuverability and speed.

Well yes that may be true.

However, it's more likely a battleship would sink a cigarette boat with a precision guided weapon a second after it becomes visible on the horizon.
Windows 9x was never secure, and I believe that screenshot was taken from Windows 98 or 98SE (hard to tell which).

Arguably this is a bug in HP's printer driver. But the fact Microsoft exposed printing to begin with was misguided.

I will say, even then, Microsoft intended for businesses and schools to utilise Windows NT 4.0 for this type of scenario. Unfortunately for them 9x become too popular for its own good, so people were buying machines with it and then having it log into AD (which was never really secure scenario, NT is designed for this, 9x wasn't).
I guess that maintaining the process isn't that expensive, considering the previous price (which, I'm pretty sure, wasn't kept at a loss).

So, probably, it's setting the process up which is expensive.

Obviously Facebook is evil and should be avoided. But has he informed his friends of the impostor? Maybe they could report him or at least comment on the impostor's posts that he's an impostor.

Of course that doesn't change the fact that Facebook should not be encouraging impostors while cracking down on real people, but it might help his predicament.

only? Isn't that bad enough? Anecdotally I really couldn't care if any of the messages I have get out in the open as for some reason I don't have sensitive content in them, but some pictures on the other hand are really not meant for everybody, especially when they aren't even sorted out yet, and I'm sure I am not alone.

Also: taking a picture of a phone with a picture still preserves most of it and so they can in fact be - what I would call - forwarded.

Error by Systema Software exposes millions of insurance data records
Presumably VW had a project (either in-house, or through one of their tier-1 suppliers) to develop this technology.

A crime was committed, so who is criminally liable?

The sales-people who agreed the deal? The project manager who was given the project to manage? The release manager who signed-off the release? The systems test manager who tested the vehicle? How about all the software developers and other engineers who were assigned to work on the project?

I'd particularly like to know what people think the extent of criminal liability for individual software developers in the automotive industry is and should be?

A format is a format, but point taken.

I've found that pandoc (and every other conversion utility) doesn't even produce useful results for LaTeX even if the LaTeX source doesn't use any complex macros or fringe packages.

The problem seems not to be that LaTeX is too powerful, but rather that the point of HTML and Markdown is to be as lightweight as possible. LaTeX, on the other hand, is meant to be a useful tool for humans to use to minimize the amount of boilerplate needed to write a large technical document (in print or on the web!).
