I assume the commenter is proposing to not have jurors. There are other kinds of trials. The Germans do it very differently: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judiciary_of_Germany

In short, they don't have jurors, but a panel of judges. The judges are not passive, as they are in the US. That is, in the US, judges are referees between two opposing sides. In Germany, the judges are active participants, and can inquire and guide the process.
One interesting distinction is white collar is often very binary. You did or did not have insider knowledge before you did that trade?

On the other hand for blue collar / property / violence crimes there are a bazillion analog levels. There are many levels and layers of criminal charges for killing someone ranging from "driver ran over a bicyclist" up to serial killer with punishment in proportion to level of intent and likelihood of repeating etc.

Its not that its hard to prove or there is little evidence beyond circumstantial, its that typical police going after a typical guy for typical things will bust someone frankly obviously at "level 5" and the prosecutor offers them the choice of a trial against charges of "level 4" or plea bargain out as guilty of a "level 3".

White collar crime tends not to have a sliding scale of criminal activity. Maybe a small dollar value is a misdemeanor vs a felony, but its very binary either you cheated or you didn't and one or two steps below the binary "did it" is you walk not even hit a grand jury.

This is before you get into theory about open conspiracy and control fraud. If everyone knows the whole structure relies on no bad apples and someone is a bad apple then what do you do, indict the entire economic system for having intentionally created a ridiculously cross connected system?

I messed up using easy when I meant cheap.

But it's still easy enough to move the market. Cheap credit no one can get isn't going to have an impact.

When 2.5x median income doesn't buy the median house (or even close) there may be an issue. There isn't anything magical about the 2.5x number though, but IMO there is an upper limit on what is reasonable for people to spend on housing.
The machines showed in these videos seem suited for very large and expensive processing facilities, which probably are cost-effective because one supplies the consumption of millions to tens of millions of people. But how smaller producers can automatize their processing without owning or depending on these facilities? Would robots that cost of the order of tens of thousands euros / dollars, that automate more flexibly but slowly than the machines in the videos, be cost-effective for smaller producers? How big is the market for such robots?
It means that videos by "partnered" creators who had their videos on the old ad-free site will no longer be shown, until they are migrated over to the new ad-free site by agreeing to the deal.

If I want to drive my car on a highway and the state department says "really sorry there's so many potholes, we were confused about how we communicated to how you should drive on them", I'm still sitting here wondering whether I should continue to drive on that road for my business or not. Now if they said "we screwed up, we're sorry. going forward we have a 5 point plan to help make sure you can drive on that road" I would feel much better about continuing to use that road for my business.

Facebook is stomping on GooTube's video dominance by A) not showing ads, B) auto-running Facebook hosted videos while forcing a click for YouTube hosted ones, and C) offering content creators quite a bit better terms, apparently.

So, Google has to do something to monetize before somebody coughs to the fact that YouTube's numbers are dropping.
And? It's not like they'd magically go away if one site didn't link to them, and they're easily found with a 1-second search. There's no point in not linking to the most accurate/direct source of information.

"In a Q&A session with reporters Wednesday at YouTube Space Los Angeles, company executives were asked if they were concerned that consumers would confuse their new YouTube Red product with RedTube, an online porn platform.

“We did a lot of consumer testing, so we were comfortable with it,” Robert Kyncl, YouTube chief business officer, said of the name."

I just copied a couple of files there. In the browser window where I copied them, it correctly showed the sizes as 8 kbytes and 63 kbytes. When I re-open the same page, it shows them as "8 bytes" and "63 bytes". They download correctly.

Is there a way to copy files other than drag-and-drop? That's not always convenient, and in some environments might not be possible. (As hanniabu points out, clicking on the drop zone opens a file selection dialog, so never mind.)

Any executive position is a generalist role that ultimately depends on one's ability to play politics with the stakeholders. Clinton's emails are perhaps an example of why she should not run an intelligence agency, but POTUS is different. A president doesn't have to be an expert in everything, that's what the cabinet is for. If someone goes through considerable effort an expense to host a private email server, then perhaps the reason could be attributed to something other than cluelessness.
Not only that, but the whole reason Brennan got the job as Director of the CIA was that the prior Director, David Petraeus, resigned[1] in the wake of his own email and information leak scandal.

Petraeus and Broadwell used fake names to create free webmail

The FBI, using electronic metadata that pinpointed the times,
places and IP addresses, identified Paula Broadwell as the source.

TBH, I suck at the business sides of things so I'm not the best guy to ask, but my impression is that the market isn't s great as one might think considering how much for we all eat. There ought to be a lot of room for growth if the machines actually move out to the field. Most of them are sitting inside cleaning plants because they are delicate and expensive. Search for Buhler, Sortex, Allen, Satake, Selgron for some example companies in that space.

Yet think of surviorship bias, isn't the code most likely to end up in front of a jury the hackiest, most complicated, least understandable, least documented stuff out there?

Think of the VW "scandal" at what point does a piece of code go from being a really effective emissions blocker to being an illegal emissions blocker? If they implemented and trained up a neural net then what piece of code is the violator, the guy who wrote the unit tests the neural net trained on, or the evolved coefficients in the network that humans never wrote, or the manager who told them to write an emissions routine using a NN or the regulators who entrapped them by knowingly writing bad regs with the intention of the .gov selecting winners and losers by selective prosecution?
White-collar crimes are extremely analog, and those gradations are all inside someone's head instead of being an external quantity that can be measured (like grams of cocaine).

For example: pretty much whenever someone sells something, the buyer is going to be more optimistic about the value of the thing than the seller. At what point does that become fraud?

UN urges global move to meat and dairy-free diet
The problem is with the usage of the word "communicate". Normally communication would mean "transmit information". Quantum entanglement does not allow this. With entangled particles a measurement on one instantly changes the statistical behavior of the other. However there's no way to see this effect until you compare the statistics between the two particles (which probably requires an ensemble of particle pairs to be measured, not just one), so you can't actually use the effect to transmit information.

I don't think there's a good English word for the concept of an influence that isn't causal and doesn't transmit information. That's why it's often called "spooky action at a distance" and why attempts to describe it with simple English sentences are likely to lead to confusion.

This raises an interesting point, but neglects the fact that it's not possible (for good reason if you think about it) to simply volunteer for jury duty. In order to be eligible in most (all?) jurisdictions one must simply register to vote.

Neglecting the fallacy of the presumption that one can just volunteer, it is interesting to think about the way the world might be shaped should "more educated" individuals be the ones who solely shape public policy and case law. It's not very democratic in the pure sense of the meaning, but certainly interesting as a thought experiment.
That is one aspect. Another is the real time event/video aspect.

ECMAScript 6 Quiz  Have fun
I have a feeling that this is a "Kinect" moment for Google and they'll reverse the decision in a few days.

The potential backlash is just too big, if you don't sign up you do not get revenue from the views that will push pretty much any YT contributor to sign the deal if the amount of YT subscribers gets even to single digits as a percentage of the total YT userbase.

Not all views are equal already, views from non-western countries generate little to no revenue as they either do not show ads at all or at a very low rate, the people that do generate ad revenue are people from countries that most likely won't mind getting the subscription and can afford it so even a small percentage of them moving to YTRed can have a drastic effect on the revenue of YT contributors which will force them to sign.

So option 7 and the reasonable one will be show videos, there's almost no loss for YT (many ISP's cache YT videos to save money which reduces YT bandwidth costs) but don't give money to contributors, they already don't get money if people use adblock, why would this be any different?
That's tax avoidance, HMRC will come knocking and you'll end up having to pay 5 years tax in one chunk. Oh, plus penalties for not declaring you were avoiding tax!

It's quite reasonable despite being a non-polygonal dataset if all you want is the nearest suburb (this was my use case). They have multiple points for the same location so nearest point search works quite well even with weirdly shaped suburbs. I've mucked around with other datasets (there's an OSM branch in my public repo that i'm currently working on to get down to street and street number level) but for the use i mentioned above the geonames works well.
‘Mythbusters’ to End After Next Season
Obviously, that isn't meant to be taken at face value, but consider the underlying issue. Thanks to things like the availability heuristic, and the need to be prepared for worst-case scenarios (rape, death), women adopted a super-cautious stance. They have to suss out any hint of violent behavior and essentially treat every new guy as if they might be dangerous, even though they know that statistically, they're safe.
An individual function would often be smaller than 4K, and it's up to the JIT to decide how much to compile at one time, and you can also coalesce new code with old code to compact it.

There are historical events that that may be local and only recorded in an older language. That's what made the Rosetta Stone so important. It was monumental for our knowledge of the past.

>to some subspecies of tropical frog

Most of that has to do with biology rather than historical importance. There are many species with unique adaptations not seen in any other species on Earth. I'm not a biologist so I can't weigh in on how important studying such things are - but from what I gather from biologists they're super important. :)

Weird traditions are more about cultural heritage and keeping in touch with ones' culture. It's a feeling of belonging to a group that many people place importance on. Personally, I dislike my heritage and most aspects of my culture. I'd rather adopt one that I agree more with - but I'll be forever seen as an outsider and never as one who can appreciate the culture. It's unfortunate.

I understand commercial email accounts aren't secure. So I don't treat email as being secure.

Look at what you have here. A pair of half drafted generic position papers. A legal memo about a document review protocol (I carry stuff like that in my unlocked briefcase). And a couple of what appear to be public documents about torture. The most potentially embarrassing thing on there is his SF86. But a quick scan of it doesn't show anything embarrassing on there.

If he was sending actual sensitive information on an insecure email, that is a problem.

Indeed, the number of people being tortured at Guantanamo were a tiny, tiny portion of the global population - doesn't mean they should have been subjected to that, regardless of what they were accused of.
The cry of "its nothing personal. its just business" is the last refuge of the morally bankrupt. You tell me if you think all those developers who lost their living when Twitter switched off their access if they thought it was personal.

It's also the basis for much of our laws to preemptively tackle many potential problems and to stop them before they occur. Examples include everything from environmental regulations to corporate anti-trust laws, to work-place & consumer safety laws, food safety laws, and the list goes on...

Before those laws were created, we had numerous examples of pollution, corporate collusion, workplace hazards, etc. What awful scourge that long menaced the public are the yellow dots preventing?

You seem to be possessed of a finely-honed mistrust of human beings (which is wise), along with a credulous confidence in governments made up of human beings (which is... not).

"iOS users will be charged $12.99 to cover Apple’s in-app purchase tax."

If that's true, it looks like someone in google got their math wrong.

Apple will take 30% of $12.99, i.e. $3.90, leaving google with only $9.09, not the $9.99 they're expecting.

The correct price to "cover Apple’s in-app purchase tax." is $14.27.
>The probabilities won't sum to 1 and still match experimental results.

exactly. The probabilities are 1 only in theory. For example theoretical Malus law over all angles would give 1. On practice - i couldn't find single photon Malus law confirmation. A slight deviation from Malus law like cutting the tail at high angles off and thus decreasing the total to below 1 (ie. when/if photons at high angles being lost disproportionally much more intensively than Malus law states) would bring the experimentally measured S to values higher than 2 while still being in the realm of local realism.
