Although I'm generally for legalising drugs, in the short term my concern is this is going just increase petty crime. As gearoidoc said in another comment:

> In Ireland, especially Dublin, it's not unusual to see a heroin addict shooting up on public transport.

I lived in Dublin city (2 and 1) a few years ago and it's not exactly the safest place. Even in the middle of the day, in the highstreet, I've seen fights between people. This is going to come across as "drugs are ok" and more people will get into them, which will lead to higher petty crime rates.

"I think we Millenials are, more than any generation before us, desperately in search of our great cause."

Look no further, there's a global crisis of climate change that must be solved. We have a cause, but unfortunately not one that is nicely contained within the borders of a country.
I ended up with a MacBook Pro because at work we're interacting with a corporate environment for which Linux is not supported and everybody is on Windows. At some point I gave up the fight of configuring a VPN connection to our deeply broken L2TP/IPsec server and asked for a MacBook. My VPN now works, albeit with interruptions.

But my next laptop is going to be a Thinkpad, because these slick MacBooks can't be easily repaired and can't be upgraded. They look and feel good, but that's of no consequence when you suddenly need 16 GB of RAM, or when the battery has worn off, or when the keyboard started to peel. I hate this trend of slim laptops you can't tinker with. OS X is nice, but I prefer Ubuntu's software repositories, though having access to popular applications not available for Linux feels good. And the Retina display on this thing will make all alternatives look inferior.
I like how you just reiterated GP's last "point of irony" there, in a roundabout way.

Because that's how much of the rest of the world feels re. USA/"the west". One-percenters... complaining about their own one-percenters...

And yes, there is deep resentment brewing indeed.

So I actually backed this product, and the guys from Bragi are very good about posting updates. I believe they have a deadline of posting an update on the 1st of each month. They always post their progress and include videos with each update showing new features or completion of the current stage.

It also seems that most of the comments are saying its all vapoware. According to the last update, the developer devices are expected to ship next week and the week after. I will gladly post an update when I receive mine.

There's an entire field of study called "textual criticism" devoted to this sort of question.

On the broadest scale, there are about 1.25 million pages of ancient Greek New Testament text, made up of everything from tiny fragments to complete copies, spanning the course of several centuries and initially spread over three continents. Among these 1.25 million pages there are about 250,000 errors (places where one manuscript differs from another), the vast majority of which are simple spelling mistakes or grammatical mistakes (often repeated in every manuscript from a particular region.) So there's about one mistake for every 5 pages of ancient text.

Moving a bit more narrow: the New Testament of the King James Bible was translated using an incomplete set of Greek Manuscripts which were supplemented with translations from Latin back to Greek, which is collectively called the "Textus Receptus". Most modern translations are made using what's called the "Majority text", which is an attempt to uncover the origin of various textual differences by looking at timelines and common patterns in variants (like dropping words that start with the same letter as the previous word, or much more sophisticated methods like taneliv mentioned in another comment). There are around 2,000 variants between the Textus Receptus and the Majority text (there's a comprehensive list in the back of Jay P. Green Sr.'s "The Interlinear Bible".) The Codex Sinaiticus is more similar to the Majority than to the Textus Receptus, and 2,000 total variants is a pretty good estimate for how different it would be from what was used to translate the KJV.

As before, the vast majority of the differences are spelling errors and such that wouldn't even survive the translation process (for example, in Matthew 1:6 there's a spelling variant of "Solomon" in some texts.) There are less than 10 differences large enough to be worthy of discussion, which are listed at the end of the wikipedia link wl posted in a sibling comment -- the longer ending of Mark and the story in John 8 about the woman caught in adultery, for example.

All of the doctrines I'm aware of that are expressed in the disputed passages also find fairly broad support in other passages, as well as in other ancient church writings that aren't part of the Bible, though not necessarily as explicitly. So the overall answer to "how different" is "enough to show the text wasn't perfectly stable, but not enough to overturn any widespread doctrines or beliefs".

(If you're interested in seeing the practical application of the process of textual criticism, try the NET Bible at net.bible.org -- any of the footnotes marked "tc" are about textual criticism, and they generally explain why the translator chose a particular variant, and in some cases they'll point to a book or journal article for deeper discussion. It's not perfect, but it'll give you an idea of the overall state of knowledge.)

Not very likely, but I've always wondered what the feeling would be like when your head is suddenly detached from the body (e.g. beheading by guillotine[0]). A more down to earth way I'd prefer is hallucinogen overdose - should be hell of a trip.

I think you're understating the developer cost. Google pays pretty well and there's quite a bit of overhead (management, HR, IT, etc) as the original graph only counted pure developers.

Still yes, I agree that a few hundred million a year gets you control of the Internet.
Isn't this just what many of the malicious hackers have been doing already? I've seen tons of cases where a hacking group got their site compromised, then the rival's site ended up wiped out about a week afterwards in retaliation.

It's not really a good idea, because it just invites wars and personal vendettas that never end. And it's likely the damage will just go up and up each time.
Oh, I have lots of opinions to share if I'm getting started, but here - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10503425
Extending Markov to Hidden Markov
You're decontextualizing the OT "love thy neighbor" which is from Leviticus and is in the context of the Jewish culture (at least quote the whole sentence). The NT "love thy neighbor" is fundamentally different.

I'd get into more detail, but without the theological background, you simply won't get it.

If you look only at Jesus' teachings (and the New Testament more generally), it's logically absurd to come to your conclusion that the Scripture is hateful. But hey, keep quoting ancient Jewish law that made it into Biblical canon.
Markov model is great tool for predicting and modeling systems where discrete events happen in discrete time-steps. There are some special cases though where we are interested in states underlying the events observed, and events do not map to states in one-to-one or one-to-many fashion as had been requirement so far. Hidden Markov Model (HMM) where unknown hidden states are of interest but correspond to multiple observed states
Depending on the definition of "safe". Digging a long hole to the ground, towing an old to-be-demolished barge on top of Mariana's trench etc. is not that expensive.

The hard part right now is deciding on suitable ground for the tombs. Doing seismic measurements, analyzing the rock formations and especially forming the policies for burial (e.g. do we reserve the option to dig the stuff back up for use in breeders?) can take decades, but it's hardly an expensive part of the process.

The disposal isn't really an acute problem that needs to be solved today. It's not that dangerous to store the junk at warehouses while we use hundred years if necessary to research best viable options.

Nuclear power is expensive, but only if you compare it to burning hydrocarbons and hydroelectric power generation. It's still decades ahead of photovoltaic and wind turbines.
Intel contributed support for hardware accelerated VP8 encoding to Firefox. Given that its mostly used for WebRTC I could imagine they did the same for Chrome.

You also have to look at time to first byte, total time, and client rendering time.

If it takes like ten seconds to render the site on the client, then 10ms gain on connection time wont help much.

When all css, fonts etc are cached on the browser client, then there's almost no gain with CDN.
I would go a step beyond just "diminishing returns". Higher than optimal incarceration rate actively creates more crime by way of 1-2 million broken homes.
I'm not sure why you're reducing its worth despite 400 years since the letters and gospel were put together. Many exhibits in museums such as Taipei National Palace Museum might be what you call a "legend" or Chinese "imperial propaganda." These artifacts provide volumes of anthropological insight to the people of that era, even if the supposed acts are years removed (or for Buddhist or Taoist writings, there might not even be a measurable date for such recordings or chronicles).
I wonder why hacker news is so positive on nuclear power. The article is full of false information or misguided information.

genuine question - how's the install experience these days ? I havent tried Arch in years, and the recent Twitch.tv's Arch centric "world's most frustrating distro install" hasnt helped much.

is there something cool that you get from Arch ? I mean, I pretty much installed Fedora over Ubuntu because I wanted bleeding edge Gnome and Wayland to play with.
Just look at the number of libraries (even project specific ones) Chromium pulls in. The projects are huge enough to accommodate quite a few people.
Did they really write this whole article about machine-generated text but not actually include an example of the actual reply the system generated?
Load-following is both license and technical related in a chicken-and-egg-way. You need to incorporate load-following into your reactor design. More specifically: the speed with which a reactor can modulate its output while staying within nominal operational bounds is a design parameter. If licensing doesn't allow load-following, you're not going to give your reactor that feature.

>The latter half of the 19th century up to WW1 was the USA's longest sustained period of high growth and high economic mobility.

That would be the post WW2 years, not the latter half of the 19th century.

As bsder stated, you seem to be painting a rosy picture of a period of American history where exploitation (including child labor) was both rampant and vicious and robber baron power was approaching its peak.

>According to the likes of Paul Krugman Americans should have been eating dirt and living in caves by 1913

According to Ron Paul we have been perpetually just about to experience hyperinflation since circa 1985.

Paul Krugman's record is hardly spotless, but he is at least not making intentionally wrong predictions in order to service the needs of the ultrawealthy.

>Except even then, government intervention in money fixed a certain price ratio of gold and silver. When that ratio no longer reflected the real market prices, chaos predictably appeared in the banking system

This is backwards. The chaos was caused by that gold standard. Financial panics were inordinately common and severe during the latter half of the 19th century. Much more so than they were after 1977.
So, to sum up... Our wages stopped rising in the 1970s, because:

* Decreased demand for US workers — factories closing to move to other countries; technology replacing human labor; increased capitalist competition with a global economy consisting of countries finally recovered from their wars

* Increased supply of US workers — the women's liberation movement; the continued influx of immigrants

The country's rotting social justice can successfully be expressed in terms of the prosperity of its workers.
I would like to mention however that vBulletin 5 (the software which may have led to this hack) is not like the older versions, and is quite likely filled with security holes and problems that most scripts won't have. The fact two sites using it were hacked just means the script itself wasn't particularly well written or maintained, not that an internet wide epidemic is just around the corner.

Sure but MDMA/meth aren't psychedelics either but you made a distinction between them so I was curious why.

Not my problem but a customer I worked with had a gamma ray sterilization unit. There were some limit switches which they needed to replace after ten years. Replacements, same part number, manufacture swore up and down they were identical, would crack after three to six months.

There is absolutely no irony. Extreme inequality is undesirable on any scale. This is consistency, the opposite of irony.
Yes they do and no it isn't unless of course you're a hermit living in isolation. For anyone else it's virtually impossible to ensure you (let's go with your example) take all the consequences of your actions as you must if you go along with the dictum 'do as you like if it doesn't affect others'. As a society we curtail many freedoms. Necrophilia hurts no one so should it be legal? Suppose millions decide it's a desirable activity. Do we then decriminalize it?

BTW I wonder if Ireland is going to permit industrial production of the desired drugs? As I understand it, the 'small step' as you call it is akin to legalizing the possession of stolen goods.
Pretty much. Hitachi is currently selling their IFR design "on-the-shelf" by name S-Prism. Russians are operating and selling their BN-600 and BN-1200's.

It's not like things are completely problem free, but that's kind of unreasonable expectation for any industrial or commercial project.

E.g. advertising breeders as a solution for the nuclear waste problem is a bit tricky, since we already have centuries worth of waste to dispose of, plants will only be operated for some decades etc. We would need to increase humanity's electric consumption to tenfold or more to justify enough breeders to dispose all current nuclear waste in reasonable time.

Yeah to many of us old timers, it feels strange when new FP afficionados only know about Clojure and Haskell like languages, without realising that we already were doing FP for a few generations even if the languages never became mainstream.

Chrome sends every URL you type in the search/URL bar to Google. (With the pretext that they need to check if it ia search term.)

With Chrome they can build a profile on each user which includes how much time they spend on every site they go to.
They can sell and use all this profile data in all sorts of ways.

They can fine tune search results to push more sticky sites, since they can aggregate which sites really keep their users.

And it means that they can verify that their other tracking cookies and methods are accurate, and can better weed out all sorts of shtick, and pick up the trends before they are bitten.

Controlling the internet (by controlling the interface used to reach it) is just the small change.

Yes, as far as numbers go, there's not much ambiguity, unless it's ambiguous math on purpose, like a postulate. Which reminds me, years ago I read an entire book about zero and the evolution of numbers. I think it was http://www.amazon.com/The-Nothig-that-Is-Natural/dp/01951423... the part about clay tablets made an impression. If we had eight fingers, would we do octal calculations? Hehe. Anyway, thanks for the reply. For the record, I wasn't meaning to imply science is super ambiguous.

By comparison, I've seen the online tax system in New Zealand and it is a breath of fresh air, everything is already entered for you, and of course a lot simpler. It's just a matter of following a short wizard to add additional exemptions or what have you. It takes about 30 minutes to read the instructions and finish, very doable for the lay person. Their banking system also makes the US look like it's in the stone age, but don't get me started.

Overall the situation in the US is quite shameful for the country that invented the internet.
