In the immediate term, no, it shouldn't. The update was rejected, but the already published version remains up. There's nothing catastrophic in the earlier version.

In the medium term, yes, because if this issues can't be resolved then the Chrome version will be stuck on that version and lag behind other browsers.

And while there are hoops you can jump through, if it's not approved on the Chrome Web Store, it's not getting in your Chrome.

On the plus side, sounds like good news for Opera.

Presumably they found it more important to preserve the pages than to preserve the volume binding. The FAQ for the linear book scanner indicates that Prototype 1 mangles pages in some way (tears or folds) in about 45% of books it scans.

Moreover, it used to be common to create bound volumes by binding multiple issues of a serial together. (In some cases the bindery would crop pages to fit!) The binding is often so tight that the volume cannot open flat enough for a full scan. Separating the pages from the spine allows for the entire page to be imaged without distortion.

Edit: Incorporated correction. I had accidentally stated the claim more strongly than the FAQ supported; however, my point does not depend on the claim being as strong as the form in which I had stated it.
Nobody knows what its capable of sustaining. There's stuff like using resources more efficiently, recycling etc. We aren't good at these things yet, consumption could go a lot higher with improvements to those.
What a magical world you live in where everything is free and no one needs to be paid for their work.

Ads have been abused by companies over the years but whitelisting sites that whose content and services you value and don't abuse you with those ads are the only reason they can afford to exist.

Edit: I get it, you don't want ads. People have abused them over the years and that's bad. My only point is that whitelisting (or donating/subscribing to where possible) the sites you value keeps those sites running. It's nice that some sites don't need financial support to pay for reporters, editors, producers, and photographers but that's not the case for many sites that do great journalism.
I really, really appreciate this accountability (such as it is), but the moral standard people are seeing here is too high.

The value of PyPy is that it is a thing you can just drop in to make your code faster. If PyPy wants to gain any traction they pretty much have to concentrate on the version with the most existing code.
I assume it's a reference to tracing JIT (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tracing_just-in-time_compilati...).

It's a JIT that traces runtime execution, rather than looking at whole method or function bodies. In particular it eliminates control flow, which simplifies optimisation.
The main problem with this argument is that "net neutrality" is a poorly defined term.

What it has come to symbolise in the states is the lack competition, and the ability of At&t verizon and timewarner to stifle competition.

For example: the netflix fiasco.

Comcast wanted money for peering directly with netflix.

In the UK and most of Europe that sort of dick waving is very very difficult to achieve.

Firstly because there is competition in the UK, holland, france etc., there is more than one provider of broadband in most areas (and very very tight rules about what the monopoly can charge.)

That means that if netflix is slow because a certain company is playing hardball, customers will leave.
So deliberately slowing down a key legal service is going to loose you customers. Doing so in an effort to boost your own rival will also lead to successful prosecution (unlike in the states)

Secondly here in europe, peering is cheap and easy. Places like LINX, LONAP and the european equivalents means that peering centres are co-owned by all the people peering. Not a Big ISP. There are still peering agreements where money is changed hands.

Thirdly ISPs here are more than happy to have Edge caches. why? because it cuts down on the need for peak bandwidth to non local traffic. It also cuts down on bandwidth going other third-party connections(which again cost money).

Crucially, Not all traffic is treated the same. For the last 10 years QoS has been applied to virtually all domestic connections. You literally cannot have cheap broadband, with full connectivity and no traffic shaping and it be usable. To make sure that your domestic internet is usable the ISP would have to provision your full link speed in the backhaul, to all upstream networks.

ISPs may say that they don't traffic manage, but they are 100% telling porkies. In the UK, all ISPs have a fair use policy. This states that certain types of traffic will be slowed during peak hours, or that if you use too much bandwidth your whole connection will be slowed.

Traffic management is universal.

Shouldn't but if it's taken down, you can just download the code from the repo and install it using developer mode.
I think you guys are saying the same thing. Ie, because they don't need to switch languages, and PyPy is a JIT engine for Python, these tons of Python code would benefit from if the devs were aware of PyPy.
I don't miss brushed metal in general because they started putting it in too many places. The early concept was that it fit programs that mimicked hardware devices, and iTunes was saying "Look at me, I'm your stereo system."

Then Panther (10.3) came along, and Finder went "Look at me, I'm your filing cabinet!" Eeeeeh, ok I guess? That's when it started to feel tacky and overused for me. Maybe because I only ever had one iTunes window, but the message of "You have 4 filing cabinets open on your desk" is a little bit weird.

As far as iTunes in general goes, I wish it'd go back to being a simpler MP3 player. They've got so much stuff in it (iOS device sync, music store, internet radio, Apple Music, podcasts, iTunes U, whatever else I've forgotten).

All the different layouts, the way the playlist sidebar appears and disappears, the multiple navigation schemes sharing one bar (pick source on the left, sometimes an icon and sometimes hidden in a dropdown, change view layout in the center) doesn't work well. Just the other day I switched modes and then was thinking "Wait, where did the list of recently added items go?" I found it in the albums layout by clicking through random stuff until I got the one I wanted, but I feel like if an MP3 player makes me hunt for something then the interface has failed me. The iTunes version screenshotted here never had hunting.

Family members have asked me "Where did X go?" on more than one occasion after the redesign, and I can't answer is quickly as I'd like anymore...
China managed to succeed in increasing people wealth and loosening laws (still bad for Western standards, but huge step comparing to China 30 years ago).
Only because West thinks this is "brutal and cruel" dosent mean our laws would ever worked there.

Some tried giving Arab countries democracy and it turned out they never really wanted it and most of the dictators were much better alternative (still bad, just better - to clarify).

Same with China - imagine them exploding with an extra 1 Billion people over next 20 years. Who will feed them? What would be social implications of such a move?

I think the post is saying that defining the carrying capacity of a technological species is an exercise in futility. Malthus was writing about this many years ago - humans have a habit of raising the bar.

In answer to your googolplex question - I think it's safer to bet on the technology developing to support such a population than against it. (Though I think we'll either be extinct or an interstellar species before then.)

I think the issue is much more what will happen to the world's numbers before the population numbers decline (IF indeed EVERY ethnic groups starts reducing numbers. God help us all if there is one that doesn't)

Numbers of fanatically religious people will double, relatively speaking. Mostly Catholics and Muslims. This is under the assumption that the current rates of conversions remain roughly the same. Trouble is, people turn atheist, don't have kids, and die out, the number of atheists we have today is a historical anomaly resulting from the baby boom. In other words, that effect will stop. This likely will have policy implications.

People in cities are growing FAR slower than people in rural settings. That means that it isn't just atheists that will drop, but everything you associate with city living will lessen. Most city populations are essentially replaced with fresh people from rural settings every 60 years or so (meaning that the number of new rural people in the city at year+60 is larger than the number of people in the city).

Numbers of black people and asian people (not Chinese) will grow a hell of a lot more than the other groups. Africa should have 3-4 times more people than today at least before it stabilizes. Same goes for some countries in Asia. This of course also means that Europe is going to look back to today's Syrian "refugee crisis" and wonder why people were worried about a mere 1 million people per year.

Truth of the matter is that there isn't much any political movement in either Europe or America can do. So it doesn't even really matter.
If that were the law of the land, then a lot of prosecutors would quit and go into private practice.

That said, I'm not saying that this behaviour should not go unpunished, an attorney should be disbarred for this type of behaviour, and serve jail time for a felony (i.e. 1-5 years in State prison) . I think the State and the taxpayers should be made to pay the tab like a previous poster said because in my opinion, they are just as guilty as the prosecutor for setting up the environment in which this was allowed to happen.
> I have a number of friends who are teachers, all of whom say that you can spot a single child within about 5 minutes of observing them. They just act differently.

Differently how?

Whenever a student comes late to class, I've always imagined that those students who look up from their work are more likely to come from rural areas in Norway, and that those who don't look up to see who is coming are more likely to come from the city.

But I don't really know what the difference in behavior would be for a sibling vs only child.
Who is the defense attorney to judge the client guilty or innocent? Maybe the client's insane, maybe the damning evidence the attorney's seen is compelling but incomplete or misleading.

We defer to the process for a reason. And human nature being what it is, that process is built on a presumption of innocence.
As much as I agree that the earth is overpopulated, I think better than taxing people is providing access to free birth control. A lot of people don't have access to it, or education about it.

I use Firefox and install the following:
- Disconnect

- Ublock Origen (choose 3rd-Party block lists to suit.)

- Privacy Badger (no set up, just install, it learns as you go)

In Firefox, use about:config to change the following:
- Toggle dom.storage.enabled to False

- Toggle layout.css.visited_links_enabled to False

- Toggle media.peerconnection.enabled to False

- Toggle network.prefetch-next to False

- Toggle network.http.sendReferrerHeader to 0 (zero)

- Toggle network.http.sendSecureXSiteReferrer to False

These settings have worked for me with no issues. I bank, do all manner of things online with no issues. I do, however, see no ads, no tracking, faster page loads, clean experience all around.
I'm using UBlock as well and will never look back, but in relation to:

Unless things changed, UBlock relies on some of the blocking lists coming from AdBlock so the sentence above might not be 100% true.

Of course, the EU is much stronger than its PR suggests because of this: National leaders really like it, although semi-secretly, so when push comes to shove the EU is surprisingly resilient.

It does feed the perception that the EU is undemocratic, though, which may be harmful over time.

just like I refuse to pay covers at bars, I refuse to pay surge pricing. Uber is my go to app, but if they are doing surge pricing than I switch to ihail (an Uber clone run by a taxi company). if they ate busy, than I use lyft as a last resort. I hate using lyft because they don't offer a fare estimate.

> The biggest challenge with going to half renewables is overgeneration. The state receives power from a number of sources that simply can't be shut down—combined heat and power systems and nuclear plants, for example. Layered on top of that are renewable sources like solar that generate power whether you want them to or not.

What? The biggest problem is the cost of storage, not the fact that the underlying technology is not yet efficient enough to compete with non-renewables cost wise?

Can someone please summarize and explain this article to me? I saw no data, and there was no serious discussion of the underlying technology or economics of solar power.
> "Unlikely. The perceived benefits of eugenics would be too tantalizing for those social engineers in control of "licensing" the right to reproduce."

What if the priorities of the eugenicists and other life licensers clash? For example, what if a known criminal was also the holder of some rare genes that would link up well with someone from the ruling class?

> "Licenses would likely be tied to "merit", which is rather inextricably linked to socioeconomic class."

So someone who is poor is of less "merit"?
Yes, he is.

He replaces an imperfect legal process with his personal whims and his "fuck the authorities" attitude.

If others followed him they'd be starting a new age of "la terreur".
There is context here the article doesn't disclose. The prosecutor didn't "know" Morton was innocent. He failed to disclose exculpatory evidence, namely the fact that Morton's three year old son was at the scene and said his father wasn't home at the time of the murder.[1] It was undoubtedly unethical to withhold that. If there were doubts about the reliability of the child's testimony, that was the jury's call to make, not his. But not disclosing that statement is a far cry from prosecuting someone despite "knowing his innocence."

[1] http://www.innocenceproject.org/news-events-exonerations/pre... ("Anderson did not turn over a transcript of the victim’s mother telling an investigator that Morton’s 3-year-old son Eric had told her that Morton was not the attacker and other evidence pointing to a third party assailant.")

Prosecutors in general are not elected, but the district attorney (Who oversees the prosecutors) is an elected official.

"Bypass the ROM" would be a custom chip, albeit a small variation. So that's not going to happen. However the boot ROM isn't actually a secret, it's right there in the memory map for the processor and as Bunnie says you can just read it out.

Given that it's a ROM and not reprogrammable, and not used after it transfers control to the user bootloader, I think it's fair to treat it more as part of the silicon than as a piece of software. It might be worth auditing for bugs in the boot assurance crypto though.

(If the hardware is malicious, it would be far simpler and less detectable to do it as a silent peripheral, possibly even a whole other processor, than in the boot ROM)

If so I'm interested: many cafés in Paris treat their customers poorly.
The rest of Europe has more than enough farmland to provide for 7 billion people, calorie-wise. If we were to learn how to farm on the open sea, back of the envelope calculations tell me we should easily be able to multiply today's population by 10^4 or more.

If there is a problem, it's water. On the plus side, water is the easiest to recycle by far, the only limit we're close to hitting in some locations is the amount of water that's recycled for free by the weather.

Also, we have skyscrapers. The 11m2 area per person is ground-level area. If you have 10-storey skyscrapers on average, 120m2 for every family on average should be easy, and allow for population to increase 5 fold without exceeding available space in Austria.
You're in luck. human overpopulation is mostly a solved problem thanks to modern contraception. To curb it all one needs is to build a robust economy and make it avaliable. No need for state policy beyond it, people will do it themselves.

My experience with PyPy was that it was faster for mapreduce jobs without JSON parsing and slower for JSON-heavy jobs. Because, I assume, CPython benefits from a C implementation of simplejson and PyPy doesn't. Does anyone know if this has changed?
