A purpose is a story you tell your self in order to continue to do what all the other animals on the planet do, gather resources so you can go on to tomorrow. If you have many many resources, and most don't, that you no longer need any more resources then you think about other things. And then you might try to do something about those other things, though you still have to put up with other people and their need to gather resources. The economic problem is specifically a problem with other people's need to gather resources. To function in the economic system. You can't do anything about that. You can try to change the game a little bit, but the same game must be played and by more and more people.

This is why leadership can't do much about environmental problems. At the end of the day they must protect and create jobs. The environment is a very small peripheral issue and you can pay little attention to and still get away with it.
There is one line/series for the blink _repo_ which also contains all of the webkit history. The line for webkit also contains an identical webkit history for the pre-fork period and by chance blink was rendered on top which is kind of unfortunate indeed. In the interactive version you can click the checkbox in the legend to hide a particular series and then it becomes easier to see why it looks the way it does.

This technology doesn't make interstellar travel much easier, even if it works. You only save reaction mass, but you still need huge amounts of energy. Our best bet currently are nuclear pulse engines [1]. Super advanced civilizations might use Hawking radiation instead [2].

In an unpublished NASA report they are seeing over 100uN when feeding 80W power to the drive. Assuming a spacecraft to weigh a ton, that would accelerate it by ~3 m/s per year. So it's not only a question of EmDrive working, but also a question of whether it's possible to scale up the technology.
They started the project long before Rust was stable and even today the Rust ecosystem is still lacking some libraries (understandably).

The performance potential is real but not free as the productivity isn't as good.
When it comes to corporate and contract law, many laws are "default rules" that agreements can explicitly override.
Hi! I can tell you our experience at company I work. We were looking for any tool to make simple share "but not deliver control of password" because we wanted to show customers that "we take care" about their passwords.

Finally started use ZOHO Vault. It gave us why to create/manage/share to our developers "secrets" (passwords, PIN/PUK, Visa pin, etc) in webapp and mobile app. Now it is part of our "wellcome kit" to new worker. If you are alone you can use for free, and use to your personal or professional secrets.(Example code that was created to my profile by ZOHO Vault is like "x3Aq-JTyKg" -is not this! of course!)

Usually with any customer that see how we work... they copy "work method": if any other recommend us other better... of course we will test too to compare!!
Cheers!
Human hands don't need to spend a week to learn how to correctly grasp an object, at least not one the shape of a phone.
Yes, definitely! I should have said:

That's a very professional process, and it should also be an inspirational process.

Just because a lot of software development is haphazard doesn't mean that it has to be! Who cares if you use Swift or Ruby or C or Lisp, ignore the details - we should see the good, mature, "grown-up" things that other people do and copy & modify them!

Jack Ganssle (an embedded systems guru) has a great interview about being "a grown-up engineer" here: http://embedded.fm/episodes/2014/5/27/53-being-a-grownup-eng...

It applies to all software and hardware systems, not just embedded systems.
Humans Show Empathy for Human-Shaped Robot Hands
> In order for Marty to go to the future and see himself, he'd need to continue to exist in 1985 somehow. I'm not sure how to reconcile him getting into the DeLorean with Doc and yet simultaneously going back into his house to live the rest of his life normally.

This is something I've mentally struggled with since the second film came out. His leaving 1985 temporally is an exit event; he ceases to exist in his own timeline. The only explanation I could come up with is that he does indeed visit an alternate timeline where Doc never created the time machine and therefore Marty never goes back in time to "fix" his father's resolve. There are hints about that; Old Marty is still unsure of himself and allows his boss to run all over him, his son took on his and his father's bad traits, etc. The only way this works is if Doc is unable to visit the same timeline going forward, and can only do so going backwards. The problem becomes, if every forward time travel event leads to an alternate timeline (as is necessary for existential reasons), and any changes made to his own past timeline also cause a new timeline to branch off, why is Doc so worried about fixing the past in order to fix the future? They aren't his past and future anymore, just ones he created by traveling through time in the first place.
Your argument is not bad. However there is also a stability issue you missed. The fundamental reason why democracy is proposed or the american dream is proposed is pacification, just like welfare. A calm population who think there is a defined set of fair rules and a path for success don't revolt. Its vitally important for societal stability that the general public doesn't notice they have no chance for improved conditions, in fact things only get worse for them, and they have no input on leadership because they get to vote, but only for almost identical hand picked candidates. If you can't have actual fairness, or actual progress, or actual democracy, it becomes very important to make sure no one notices. The next few decades are going to be very interesting to watch. Can enough riots be prevented by reality TV shows and football games and iDevice releases, or will the cities and gated subdivisions burn from lack of distraction from the fundamental problems?
I don't know about you, but calling Democrats "pro-crime" sounds pretty immature to me. I'm embarrassed to belong to a society where the status quo is so uncharitable that you're willing to excuse this slander as "people just being people". You may cringe at the word "retard", but does it not unnerve you just as much that the journalist called half the U.S. literally malicious?

Technical Story Slicing 1 of 3
Land owners can generally chop down trees as they wish; with some exceptions, which mostly don't apply in these photos.
I think there are three main reasons for the increase in woodland: 1. Less cultivated land; including less land used for grazing (eg. by sheep). 2. Other sources of heating (mostly electricity, some oil, and still some wood, but usually not taken from just outside the door; there is very little use of gas in Norway). 3. Milder climate has raised the tree line. Which of these is most significant probably varies.

tldr; The Earth is fine; We are in trouble
False dichotomy. It's not "either it's all our fault or nothing is our fault". There's also the obvious middle-ground: we have an impact but other things have an impact too.

We turn vast stretches of land upside down in search of coal. We drill deep holes into the ground and pollute the water in search of oil. We excavate mountains. We then burn that oil and coal producing vast amounts of noxious fumes. We selectively breed cattle, introduce foreign species to new ecosystems. We change the course of rivers, create new islands and water the deserts.

It's absurd to think that we are the only thing affecting Earth's ecosystem and biosphere, but it's not any less naive to think we don't leave our mark.
Cops to grab unlocked stuff from cars in East Rock area, for safekeeping
That's quite a reasonable, if cynical, reply.

To be honest I don't know how to evaluate the which of these two explanations of the scientist's behaviour are more likely.

I'd like to see some data on how much one can obtain funding by performing what is, given your beliefs, literally garbage science.

If we can establish at least precedent that scientists can attract funding on the basis of their projects that were (at the time, not in hindsight) - un-controversially junk research. Then your explanation would have the upper hand.

If we can establish a clear pattern of such rewards, then you win a slam dunk.
I was not going to accuse you of sexism.

Rather, I wanted to understand your world view, because I guessed it might disagree with mine, but listening to other people's POV is a good way to learn and question your own beliefs.

Speaking of ResEdit, does the resource fork still exist in modern MacOS incarnations?

I still remember that I used to rip the graphics of Escape Velocity (Nova) by simply copying them out of the resource fork of some file (was it the executable itself?).

I also remember that my teenage self had a hard time writing a utility that copied files over a network, since I had trouble serializing the resource fork (or coming up with the idea of serialization).

C translates almost 1:1 to Rust, but when converting C++ to Rust you'll run into impedance mismatch between OO hierarchies and traits, and generics being narrower in functionality than templates.

In Rust you still can do "clever" things with generics to make them feel like C++, but the rest of the language is still closer to C: errors returned rather than thrown, no inheritance (but the "flat" OO and enums map well to what OO-like C programs do with "handles"), no constructors, etc.
Not missed on a large enough scale. Prices used to fluctuate and occasionally be below the fundamental value. That never happens anymore, supply and demand issues. Given that fundamental value never exceeds price, if I were investing instead of speculating/gambling I'd never buy in. And if you're speculating/gambling, the fundamental value of a company is irrelevant. Or rephrased the above is the comedy I'm referring to.

It provides explanations for the correlations, and then backs up these explanations with references that support the effect they're implying.

Even when our models are weak and there's a lot of uncertainty, putting numbers on it can clarify your reasoning and eliminate a lot of potential errors. E.g. the Drake equation consists of five or six numbers none of which we know, but it still tells us a lot.

Imagine a nature reserve where predators were air-dropped cultured meat, and drones tracked predators and administered a non-lethal deterrent like a targeted acoustic weapon at a lion chasing a baby elephant.

i think you missed my point, which was that these so called "cognitive failures" are really integral to what we are. rationalism is not generally wrong. improving your cognitive abilities should be a goal for everyone. but it tends to lead people to a worldview where simple humanity is deemed inferior, wrong, and where a person actually starts believing that they outgrew themselves and their humanity, that they are superior, objective, free of bias. this is an illusion, nobody is free of bias.

in fact, people who believe they successfully suppressed or outgrew any emotion are typically the ones most influenced by it, subconsciously.

Wow. The story and comments below it make me realize security is a lot more important than my data science background led me to believe.

I had no idea people are working so hard to buy stuff with fake or stolen credit card information. Bots running on AWS to sell stuff on eBay, then actually purchase the sold item and have it sent to the buyer. Wow
Yes, and speculation is one of the forces affecting demand.

There is no such thing as a "natural" price move in any tradeable product. The term has no meaning; all trading is based on some form of speculation or other forces.
I looked at the graph and saw the statistics, but your short and simple comment gives me pause. If in fact we achieve autonomous trucks it would mean we might potentially displace the most common job in 27-odd states.

We (the USA) as a country should begin thinking about the ramifications of this and how we might need to change to preserve not the economy, but society.
The forgotten term you're looking for is 'local optimum'.
Why time may be running out for the leap second
I was motivated to bottom up research vs your top down and apparently technology has advanced and the cool kids these days are using obscure semiconductors that drop in resistance as reductive (as opposed to oxidative) gases adsorb on the surface, then periodically they heat up and cook off the adsorbed stuff (otherwise they'd be permanent total dosage sensors).

http://www.ewinsen.com/Admin/uploadfile/201209/2012916105693...

It ends up being the same argument on a high level that for both operational and practical reasons the sensors usually respond to anything that burns / reduces in the presence of oxygen regardless of specific chemistry and design.

I don't advocate killing anyone just yet. My preferred approach is more like "transhumanism, merging utility functions, worldwide cooperation, singleton entity, reshaping the world with infinite care". The eventual solution could be as mild as ecosystem redesign, or as extreme as moving all life into simulations. Whatever maximizes humanity's utility function, which I don't claim to understand yet.

What is by far the most interesting is that software developer is becomming the most common job. So if in 30 years secretaries was replaced with smart phones and word processing software, soon truck drivers will be replaced by self driving cars, then in 30 years (probably less) what will software developers (then maybe the most common job) be replaced with?
Another thing to note is that the professionals that can be beaten with 4 handicap are usually pretty late in their career, and do not play as well as they did when they were in their prime. Much less at the level current pros in their prime play.
> but pretty much everyone will get 3 meals a day there.

Incorrect. Whilst I am still shocked by the way America treats homeless people and those at the bottom of society, the UK is headed down the same path.

Over a million people used food banks in the UK last year. These are essentially "last resort" facilities run by charities where people can get food parcels if referred by social services or a doctor. The main reason for using them is having welfare benefits withdrawn.

I prefer to just have the zlib-version without known buffer overflows, thank you. That will generally mean fixes are backported to a frozen api that is known to work wit a subset of packages (say 10.000 or so). No changes (except less undocumented behaviour/crashes) on security patching.

Feature changes are ok on release upgrades.
It still depends on what the show host is doing. Maybe he only opens 998 other doors if you happened to pick the right one in the first place. To a monkey brain that's more likely than him trying to help you get the car.
They just sent me an OTP on my phone. Thats it. Verification done. Then, as you mention, people can also log in to their net banking portal and verify, since the account would be linked to your PAN card. So in conclusion, most people should not need to send any hard copy at all.
Also, secretary was a category that covered job descriptions ranging from phone operator to business analyst. Factory worker probably covers as much variation as office worker, if not more. And there's little inherent reason to separate "primary school teacher" from teachers at other levels

I don't think some jobs are inherently more groupable, I think the choice of grouping is purely arbitrary. We could just as easily have separated long-haul truckers from local delivery people and these charts would completely change.
Difference here is that the experiment has been done by two different teams from different countries using different protocols.

Like all other animals, we don't generally pause to critically examine the merits of the instincts that drive our behavior. Unlike all other animals, we're actually capable of doing so! I applaud VHEMT for openly and critically considering one of our basic built-in drives.

That said, I disagree with their conclusion. VHEMT is right that we are too intelligent and successful for a mere animal. I don't think this means we must die. I think it means we must become something more.
Bitcoin is still actively changed, and they've been trying to push up the volume because, well, they have to at some point.

What they choose to set as the minimum amount of throughput for each node is ultimately dependent on the lowest common denominator in terms of bandwidth for every node on the network. With a truly distributed network like this, you need everyone on the same page.

This is a valid criticism of bitcoin IMO. For example, there was talk about forking the network in August because of disagreements about what was reasonable to expect for the network-- Internet in China is expensive.
