Probably depends on the bioweapon. For instance, I'd expect it to be effective against anthrax spores, which was the most recent bioweapons scare we had.

You're still using outside air, but by maintaining positive pressure you ensure that it's only coming in through the filter, rather than a mix of air intake and leaky joints.

This will be used 99% for skunks.
Counterpoint: my Volvo has a 1540lb towing rating approved by Volvo. It is not an SUV.

The lines are ambiguous. "SUVs" nowadays range from minivans that don't look like minivans (crossovers) like the Ford Edge to actual SUVs like the Jeep Grand Cherokee. My personal definition is if you can take it off road on a trail with no mods and there is no bed, it's definitely an SUV. If you can't realistically take it on a trail, it's a crossover.
Yup. Diesel cars can pull of 5l/100km quite easily (even VW Passat from 1998 can do that). My diesel Skoda Fabia consumes 4.6l/100km at 90kmh in highway. If conditions are not terrible, I hover around 5l/100km on average in mixed conditions (city and highway). Though few major traffic jams can ruin statistics pretty badly. Also in winter average is about 5.6l/100km.

Maybe /user/emp_zealoth had petrol cars in mind? I've not personally seen a petrol (non hybrid) car consuming less than 7l/100km and when I had one it was 10l/100km (8 if I was lucky) and it was small Peugeot 306.

To rant even more.. IMHO, those fuel consumption tests are a total fraud. Look at new diesel sedans, local dealer declares that huge VW Passat TDI uses 4l/100km, or Skoda Octavia TDI (GreenLine or something) uses 3.1l/100km. Maybe it's true when you're driving at 90km/h with wind blowing in your tail and slight downhill.

The clipping path was to ensure that the goo stayed inside the lava lamp -- the well-defined edges were the result of the color matrix.

You can see this easily by deleting those two parts of the pen (This is one of the great things about codepen, if it weren't for this, I would have phrased this much less confidently)
This is why all my App Store purchases of late have been text editors with Markdown and Dropbox support.

Seriously: I have three text editors in the lower four icons of my iPad (four if the ssh client counts): one to have the important work thing open (Editorial), another with my personal note folder (1Write) and yet another for just typing text quickly (iA Writer), jotting quick lists, etc. The "office girlfriend" will often grab my iPad during a meeting to tell me something in private or start writing down notes, and she knows she's only allowed to open the third one.

Startup-er folk: pay attention to "enhanced Markdown editors" like Editorial (good inline preview) and 1Write (decent to see an entire folder at once, much like the Evernote UI), not to mention the "todo.txt" category. Make comparable desktop clients (so I don't have to muck about in Sublime Text or Notepad++ trying to reproduce the folder view situation).

Sell the world the beauty of plain text, including budding formats like todo.txt and the kind of YAML+markdown that static blog generators use.

(When I was young and very abstract/naïve, I dreamed of starting a company to sell custom DSLs. But this is the next best thing: develop text-based DSLs for tagging, todo lists, meeting notes, etc -- readable-but-standardisable standards like Markdown. Make great UIs, make them multi platform.)
Yeah, I checked for the Polo, empty weight appears to be 1050 kg. The Golf TDI was a '96, so given the trends I expect it to be roughly similar. The original Golf I was under a ton.
They are probably storing compressed air in the cabin. You start the bioweapon-defense-mode, the fan raises the pressure in the cabin ( that uses outside air) and then shuts off. (Or they store a little bit of air somewhere, perhaps for the breaks, and use that.)
They are aiming this car at Chinese buyers I bet. The last mode would definitely get lots of use in Beijing.

"That's a lovely artificial requirement you've made there."

Wanting a system of government with proven stability is not a "straw man".

"I assume this means that you think the US system of government is inferior to the UK system of government"

The UK doesn't have PR either. And no, it means nothing of the sort. My argument is that PR tends to be unstable, not that the US system is the only possible stable system.
Chapada dos Veadeiros: O paraíso em Goías
Those jeering idiots in the audience are so cringe-y. There is no need to cheer at literally everything Musk says. For example, showing you can get into the car is something I would expect.
Pricing for standard models was noted to be only 5k more than Model S equivalent.
It has been a few years since I read this book. Could you elaborate/refresh my memory?
Safest and fastest seem possible, but I'm rather doubting its off road capabilities. Unless of course being capable of driving off road isn't something we expect from an SUV these days.
On the other hand, more pedestrian traffic also may enable additional business, as people are more likely to wander in and out of shops, and they aren't competing for limited parking availability.
The requirement was to incentivise more efficient cars. Manufacturers just decided to ignore the requirement and lie about it instead. Customers decided to believe them.

Cars keep getting bigger and heavier. The current Golf -- nominally a compact car -- is half a meter longer (at least 4.25m) than the first one and half a ton heavier (at least 1.2t).
> You either execute no one or you execute some innocent people along with the 'deserving'.

Likewise with imprisonment. Innocents will die in prison even if they don't die on the gallows.

> You think it is more just to kill the innocent than simple imprison the 'deserving' for life?

Those aren't the choices: the choices are to be just in execution of the depraved (and unjust in accidentally executing the innocent) or to be unjust in imprisoning the depraved (and unjust in accidentally imprisoning the innocent). IMHO the justice delta between executing & imprisoning the truly evil is greater than that between accidentally executing & imprisoning the innocent.
European emission rules are lax compared to American ones so it may well be dirtier but legal.
Yes, not that many have a lot kids, or kids with friends, or visiting grand parents... :)

But yes it is a niche, but not small. There is a lot of 7 mvp cars where I live, Vauhall Zafiras, XC90s etc. And in most of these the third row seats are cramped pop up seats.
None of this is really new, the mostly German car lobby has resisted European emissions testing on testing strict real-world usage, as opposed to testing on a roller.

Anyone who spent 10 minutes looking into this in the past years could've told you that, and it wasn't some big secret. A lot of it was stuff everyone was doing, like fitting certain tires and inflating them such that the rolling resistance is reduced. At the end of the day, there are limits to those gains and everyone does it, so in can't set you apart from the competition and once the basic manipulations are exhausted and the emissions goalposts are moved you can't make gains anymore without actually improving the car. Further most of these are for CO2 emissions / fuel efficiency, which is different from the VW fraud which was about NOx emissions.

The difference with the VW case is that VW essentially defrauded the test by building a device that measured various factors to establish whether it was being driven normally or whether it was being tested. In the former case it'd shut down (allowing 35x the legal limit of NOx emissions into the air while driving), while in the latter case it'd dampen the emissions (at the cost of engine performance, which is why they shut it off during regular driving). That's a different level of fraud, one that has very few bounds and can change results by much more than an order of magnitude, and is hugely controversial because it makes every test meaningless in the short, medium and long term and isn't practiced by everyone, and so different from manipulating tests by e.g. inflating tires which can still produce meaningful test, benchmarks and comparisons, when you start building 'defeat devices' all of that goes out the window completely.
Not really. The average family + 1 friend "just" fits in a 5-seater SUV. Having a 7-seater means being able to bring along more than one person. "Hey, we can all ride together!" becomes a very normal part of conversation. Bundle that with the fact that everyone can ride together and everyone saves 100% money on gas, well, it's a no-brainer people will start carpooling more since there are more seats.
Why not just bridge if the NAT is 1:1? Am I missing something?
Thanks! I like to build things that would be useful to me and it delights me to hear that other people find them useful to.

Yup, just scraping. Then hitting Google Geocoding API for lat/lng and the Yelp API for reviews and open/closed status.
Same problem as http://translationparty.com/, running out of API quota. Sad since it's a funny idea.

Here's how Translation Party is supposed to work: https://tctechcrunch2011.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/forcebe... (similar to Lost in translations).
More fuel consumption, more CO2. Clear.

But it's not the cheating story of VW, continued - that was about nitrogen oxide pollutants which was up to 40 times above what is allowed in the US.

From the report:

> All carmakers have been exploiting ever more flexibilities in the current official tests during 2013 and 2014, but detailed results from Spritmonitor in Germany (Figure 4) show that cars produced by Daimler, PSA and GM exhibit the largest realworld
gaps, around 40%. However, in the past two to three years all major carmakers (with the possible exception of Fiat) have become more adept at using flexibilities in the tests such that all carmakers now have an average gap of 25% or more (as against a maximum gap of only 10% in 2001).

As I understand "Spritmonitor", as a private person, you can record your fuel data (from your receipt) and your odometer to calculate the mileage you can go with your car. No details about the driving behavior that has an impact on how much CO2 is emitted.

I guess that's not the perfect, reliable source - everyone can use the portal and add his favourite car.
But for sure, I'll never reach the official 5.7 l/km with my car ...
Cleaning Up Browserify’s Require(“../../../”) Problem
I'm the product and engineering director at The New Yorker and this is awesome!

I'm pushing to provide public APIs, and this helps demonstrate why.

Of course, you (or anyone else here) is welcome to come and build it for real (and argue your case for/against dieresis) with direct access to the data.

If you'd like to reëngineer this for TNY, take a peek:

Wonder how rear-mounting compares to top-mounting for overall drag. Anyway, for most users, I imagine you're not driving around with ski gear on your car 99% of the time, so it's a reasonable design decision.
I learned: New Yorker reviewers are not very literate. Weak similes, bad puns, snarky attitude. Not really restaurant reviews; too-clever essays on their emotional ride.
Not really, consider the extreme of a car shaped object with a volume of 99.9% battery, something of that shape can only go a certain distance X, where X is big, but moving a car shaped object X+1 is not possible with current (oh the pun) battery technology. One way to travel X+Y would be to put it on a flatbed electric tow truck with loaded range of Y, correct? In that case the tow truck is the first stage and the car is the second.

I am serious about the self driving 4 wheeled trailer full of batteries. Given the irrational claim that an electric car is useless to (all) Americans unless it can drive over 1000 miles per day, the best way to fight that irrational claim is to provide an equally irrational solution. So the proper way to fight an irrational thought experiment of needing to drive over existing electric car range, is provide the irrational solution of something like "mid-air refueling" but mid-highway instead of mid-air and electrical power instead of Jet-A. I've toyed with the idea of patenting it and publicizing it to make a political statement, but I generate good ideas a lot faster than I implement them, so ....

No need to own the self driving battery trailer, just pop up a smartphone app and your GPS talks to the closest charger's GPS and nature takes its course. With advanced enough communications it can drive in formation with a semi-autonomous car, tailgating is perfectly safe at 85 if your reflexes are faster than a couple nanoseconds and the existing wireless charging systems means the charger trailer doesn't need to actually touch your car.

Its amusing to think of a charge cart like this rolling around a parking lot as a public service to attract shoppers. No need to pull ultra high current charge cables to every lamp post or embed chargers in asphalt.
Good thought! Will add it to the list.
Additionally, the Model X appears to be significantly faster than the similarly-priced Cayenne Turbo S.

Cayenne Turbo S (the fastest Cayenne model) does 0-60 in 3.8 seconds. [1] The Model X P90D also does it in 3.8 seconds, or 3.2 with the speed upgrade, which costs $10k on other Tesla models, [2] bringing the total Model X price to $152k to the Porsche's $157k.

My Toyota Corolla has a tow rating of 1500lbs, I don't think that makes it an SUV.
For me from a quick glance it's that it's nice and simple. For a lot of deployment situations larger frameworks feel like a minefield of some default I'll miss. This is great because I can read and understand the entire source code in a couple minutes.
Probably, sans some randomness. (I'd hope that any animation standard has the ability to move things up and down over time, which is the only part of this performed by the JavaScript)

My understanding is that SVG animation (SMIL) support isn't great, and it doesn't look to be getting any better.

I remember reading somewhere that even the browsers that do support it don't like it, for whatever reason (but I could be wrong about this, I'm having trouble finding where I read that again, and only vaguely remember it in the first place)
Trailers are a real pain to deal with. A lot of SUVs really aren't but this is an extreme case. I find it a bit ridiculous to call a vehicle an "SUV" if you can't put a roof-rack on.

Package management is important. Even the current Emacs has it. Recently I wanted to try vim on the with autocompletion. I spent 15 minutes trying to install this before I gave up.

https://github.com/Valloric/YouCompleteMe

Normally I use Sublime and Emacs but vim is still nice for some quick jobs. It was my first editor so I still remember the basics. It feels like the most efficient editor when you only want to type a few keystrokes.
I go back to the person above who mentioned mindfulness. That's what I really focus on in the attempt to stave off "boredom". Because ultimately I find that the existential and philosophical questions which have their place at times are ultimately just as much as a distraction as a cell phone. Spending too much time on those questions is just an avoidance of the present moment, the future and ultimately death. Like the delusion that if your were really smart, you could you think your way out of the human condition.
There Will Be Blood: 4 Business Lessons from Daniel Plainview
The car must be reasonably air-tight by itself to make this work, and I imagine there should be a warning signal/siren to driver if someone tries to open a window when this mode is enabled.
its worth noting that essentially only openssh clients will work with these settings, and newer ones at that.
So with the falcon wing doors you couldn't open up passenger seats in your standard garage. I'd suspect people who could afford this wouldn't have a standard garage anyways though.
The point is I already have devices that can do it just the same.
Interesting theory, but in practice they just hack the next poorly written "secure" PHP bitcoin exchange (they are like buses... not long to the next one) than attempt this grand idea..
> How do you know for sure the code you review really runs on the voting machine on the poll date?

This is exactly what requiring open code would address: Anyone can audit it. Anyone can build it. Signing the build, you know what build was installed. Independent observers can verify this, just as they can verify a count of paper ballots.
Well sorry for being a fool then. It's impossible to investigate everything about every part of our lives, and personally I feel a bit cheated by these revelations.

I think most people are aware there could be cheating, but not on the scale being claimed. I don't think it's unreasonable to have placed a bit of trust in the number.
Oh, cool! Thanks!
What laws ban surge pricing?
If you look at pricing the Model S is more competing with the likes of Aston Martin.

Mercedes, BMW are targeting the premium middle class market especially with the new A and 1 series respectively.
The problem is that "violence" isn't the subject matter in the first place. The subject is abusive behaviour. Abusive behaviour can involve physical violence but it can also involve things that aren't physical (e.g. threats of violence) or that are physical but not strictly violent (e.g. inappropriate touching).

But "cyber-abuse" makes it sound like we're talking about spam and virus attacks, so there's no useful term to slap "cyber" onto and call it a day. Not that that's a good way to name these problems in the first place.

"Cyber" bullying is just bullying. "Cyber" harassment is just harassment. Whether you do it face to face in person, remotely via phone or from the other side of the world using the Internet is not a useful distinction.

Of course "the other side" (not the actual victims, just those speaking on their behalf or portraying themselves as victims in order to suppress criticism) isn't really helping by crying wolf and spreading the idea that every single utterance in the world suddenly needs trigger warnings and gender neutral (or reverse gendered) language. Sometimes a cigar isn't a rape tool of the patriarchy.
Not an uncommon occurrence in rural Canada. It's not particularly pleasant, but you get used to it.
Or to troll. A while ago, skype had a vulnerability that let people resolve skype names to IP addresses and since skype is the default communication of lazy gamers, it was pretty trivial to work out the correct IP address to poke. Other methods used to include hooking your Xbox360 up to your laptop and bridging your connection, running Cain and Abel and finding the addresses of opponents that way in games like Halo etc. No idea what the scene is like now that we're on xbones and ps4s, I pretty much exclusively game on PC now. There are plenty of services online that let you snatch IP addresses by sending a link to a 'friend', you could then keep tabs on them that way.
Ski resorts already need access to some heavy electricity (ski lifts), I wouldn't be surprised if they would start offering chargers for electric cars in the near future.
>Zazen encourages us to meditate on our breath and to observe our thoughts so that they hopefully melt away. It asks us to think less, not more; to shut down our internal monologue which is the biggest agent of human misery.

I know this wasn't the thrust of your comment but having spent a lot of time studying meditation it's important to note that meditation isn't about "thinking less". Rather it's about developing the ability to see thoughts for what they are (they're just thoughts) and being able to respond (as opposed to react) to them. I can no more turn off my internal monologue than I can control when my blood cells regenerate or my skin cells slough off.
I have a seven month old, and my wife has shared bagged milk that she pumped before we figured out that he can't eat it because he seems to be MSPI.

The hardest part about infant nutrition is that passing on knowledge about it isn't a part of modern American culture, and so when we had our son, we felt we had to do a lot of reading and research to figure out what was the best thing to do.

And it's tragic, although understandable from a certain perspective, that a significantly lower portion of [statistically speaking] lower-income African American women do not plan to breastfeed. Tragic solely in the cost savings that it could be for them that could help them slowly make their way out of poverty. (Yes, yes, structural societal issues aside, I mean for them individually).

It also appears pretty true that almost anything involving infants, birth, and the fuzziness of medical ethics provokes strong reactions from those involved. Hopefully, the focus will remain on doing the best thing, and less on doing the thing that people yell the most about.
There are a billion things about which you could publish a negative result, and it's hard to judge whether a negative result is particularly interesting. On the other hand, positive results are fewer and thus a priori more interesting than negative results. They also stimulate follow-up research much more than a negative result.

Since journals want to publish interesting articles more than boring ones, and articles that are likely to be cited more often than articles without follow-up results, there is a bias against accepting negative results. As scientists are judged by the number of things they get published, and the number of citations their papers get, they have every incentive to only publish positive results.
I wish I could buy a nice 1400 square foot house where I live.
Just Eat's Business Model (2014)
If they've got a prototype, why don't they show it in action? Surely this is a prime example that the proof of the pudding is in the eating!
Allow me to clarify. "This" means: "The fact that Google fixed a decade old bug", meaning the topic itself. The "this" you use in your comment is entirely different.
The above misuse of "this" causes me to be confused, because it allows your comment to be interpreted as if you're promoting the inference of bugs, where older hardware is affected, such that people lose faith in that hardware faster due to frustration, consequently affecting the market causing it relieve itself of older hardware faster.
Which is why I'm asking you to clarify your argument.
When Chelsea Manning leaked the documents, noone was put in danger.

When Snowden leaked the documents, no one was endangered.

This breach, and lots of people are endangered.

But are you getting calls for criminal investigation? Are heads rolling (other than the head of OPM, who was hated anyways)?
You can tell from the photos you won't be taking this off road.

It's more akin to a people mover with the 7 seat option and the ground clearance being limited. If you look at the most popular SUVs i.e. BMW X3/5, Mercedes M, Land Rover they have a lineage in proper 4WDs.

But let's be honest almost nobody who drives an SUV actually takes it off road.
In the rural US, any district outside an urban area is NOT a 'bare majority republican district'; they're all large majority republican districts. Rural America is devoutly republican, outside recently formed border districts (formed since 1980) that are largely immigrant.

Most gerrymandering doesn't bias rural districts; it biases suburban districts that are marginal majorities (usu republican) only after redrawing the lines. Any automatic line redrawing algorithm will defeat this, since it takes a lot of perverse effort to draw boundaries that are sufficiently biased to serve Machiavellian pols.
