Of course not, that would be ridiculous. It's just a pretty picture made by cherry-picking years to superimpose and imply...something. Maybe there is some seasonality, but if you think the two graphs are impossibly correlated, it's just because you want to see that (and the author chose the data well).
The weird thing about 2001 is that Kubrick actually commissioned an original score for the movie. The classical music was just intended to be used as a placeholder until the "real" music was ready.

After seeing how well it worked, Kubrick scrapped the original score and kept it.

Sad. Of course. I know the French people will not be intimidated by this.

I find it sometimes asphyxiating to realize humanity has come so far and yet can devolve into baseline animal behavior at the drop of a feather. We are very far away, as a whole, from being an enlightened species.

Clearly there's a huge problem with a small percentage of people in the Islamic world. It seems obvious the "adults on the planet" could and should have the power to truly unite against this ridiculous minority and stop these lunatics cold. Now. Not in ten years. Now.

I don't know what the solution might be but it certainly isn't anywhere near appeasing or accepting them (the minority is what I am talking about). I do know it is sad and ridiculous that in the year 2015 we have to take off our shoes to get on planes and worry about getting shot in a theater or restaurant.

It is one of the easiest changes to adopt though. I added a "from __future__ import print_function" to 2.x code and was able to switch file-by-file without a problem. As a function, occasionally it is more verbose but it is also a lot more flexible (they can add anything they want as new keyword arguments) and it's compatible with any other feature of the language that would use a function.

> The seizure happened under civil forfeiture law, a the second paragraph of The Economist article makes that clear.

The initial seizure happened because property was targetted for civil forfeiture, the expanded seizure happened because property was targetted for criminal forfeiture, the request for a pre-trial hearing (which was denied leading to the series of appeals that ultimately reached the Supreme Court) was for a challenge to the criminal forfeiture action.

The question addressed in the Supreme Court case was about criminal, not civil forfeiture.

Interesting, never heard of Wish before. Notwithstanding, pretty much a of fan of startups are built as a 'traditional' business (built with a view to longevity, little hype, not looking for a quick cash out or acquisition). It's a pretty bold move turning down Amazon. Amazon has the technical, market, and financial capital to squeeze them out [1]. The pinterest-like page dotted with curated items is a key differentiator, but seems to offer little advantage at best and an actual impediment to online shopping. It seems their main advantage will be relying on great curation channels and a close knit community with huge repeat purchasing.

Many years, I last solidly played sometime in 2011 and maybe a couple games with close friends in 2012.

I fully realize I am out of date, but I just wanted to provide a perspective of LoL that most people do not realize: There was a significant community of roleplay/lore interest in the game early on, most of whom were not the ragey type, that was immediately alienated by Riot's early business and personnel decisions. That brutal year or so of negativity within their community that still plagues the MOBA image could have been avoided if the more moderate parts of their community from the beta and first year had not been driven away.

Trying to do all of this at once will result in failure. Reducing procrastination boils down to changing your habits, which is _hard_.

^ That is how I know you're BSing. I can assure you, while reading between the lines you seem to be very concerned with promoting Microsoft.. if you think game devs are extracting "every single byte and ms for a few FPS".. given the buggy, unoptimized nature of many games, you are quite the comedian.

The world is full of a mean average of people who, believe it or not, do not run statistical analysis before deciding if they should care for their loved ones.

The world is full of real people, with real understandable concerns for their families and friends.

Not only that, but it isn't about the number who were killed anyway. It is about the probability of your friend being in that location at the time of the disaster which is much, much higher.

No one thinks 'I wonder if Jack was killed, he was at that park today'. They think 'I wonder if Jack was in the CBD, he works nearby!'

Statistically validated concerns or not, the very real effect of this part of human nature is that the phone infrastructure goes down and that sucks for everyone.
I always like seeing people find new ways to manage their money, but you seem to take issue with estimation and categorization, which are (IMHO) the fundamental pieces of a budget that actually create behavior changes.

The point of estimating your expenses is to cause surprise and provoke thought when your estimates are terrible. The point of categorization is to aggregate expenses into larger groups to help find places to cut. Maybe you don't see "$40 for dinner" as a crazy expense but summed over a month it turns out "$1000 on food" is crazy.
Former Soviet national here...

In the Soviet case, it didn't help that they didn't really care much about crime...

What gives you that idea?
Very cool. I like the way the short feedback loop is materialized. My wife and I have our own home-brewed flavor of budgeting that takes a more introspective approach to the feedback... spending is tagged with circumstantial and behavioral traits (impulsive, well-planned, unexpected-guests, etc...) with the idea of tuning (and perhaps more importantly) aligning our mutual decision making process.

Dave Hackworth was a sergeant at 15. He entered Army service in 1945, right after WWII, after a year in the Merchant Marine. He had a long career, fought in all the wars of that era, won many medals, leaving as a full colonel, and later became a military reporter for Newsweek.
The other big change that would be beneficial in (?:Obj)?C(?:++)? would be const-by-default, requiring something like `var` for anything that's truly a variable, since `mutable` has a specific meaning in (?:Obj)?C++. It would be consistent with the theme of least-privilege, and allow for more optimizations of one-time and per-loop iteration values.

Another great, modern C++ feature: `constexpr` functions, methods and compile-time constants have the potential to put most, but not all, macros out-of-business... Macros are powerful for DRYing C/C++ similar code sections which cannot be expressed with templates, lambdas or function pointers, for macro pasting identifiers together and for project configuration management for (ie, kernel hardware support). Defines also don't occupy space but also lose semantic value in debugging because they're computed at compile time and spread out wherever they're used... debuggers encountering `constexpr`s should offer both the computed value and a way to debug or debug (not program code at all) how that value was constructed: gdb and lldb should be able to handle that with plugins.

Here's also how we compile most our code, using both gcc and clang, on both stable and head:

clang++ -std=c++1[14z] -Weverything -Werror -Wno-c++98-compat -Wno-weak-vtables ...

g++ -std=c++1[14z] -Wpedantic -Wextra -Werror -Wformat=2 ...

I would also really like to see C++1[7z] concepts implemented by major compilers, because this will make our code a whole lot simpler by reduce the hacks for runtime and compile-time type checking, and make generic programming much cleaner by being able to constrain requirements via arbitrary bool constexprs.
A correction: France has always been a member of NATO, they withdrew from integrated military command for several decades though.
everyone should have an ssh key that can be added to certain groups. Or a login to a VPN, or otherwise. Have some devops people responsible for managing access, i.e. adding people to appropriate groups when needed, and removing them when they leave (or are let go).

This analysis is certainly interesting, but I can't help but think supervised machine learning (e.g. neural networks) would have been a far better way to analyze this data.

We're using neural networks to predict future actions of users from weakly-correlating metrics and achieved surprising accuracy from one day of tinkering.

No, it does not ship with 0.9.7. It ships with 0.9.8zg, the absolute latest in the 0.9.8 series. It is unfortunate that 0.9.8 is shipping at all (as it has numerous issues), but Apple has removed the development headers in El Capitan so nothing "new" can link against it now (although apps compiled against it on 10.10 and earlier can still use it). It will be interesting to see what Apple does when 0.9.8 is officially EOL at the end of this year. They may choose to backport fixes (if necessary) or they may just ignore it until 10.12 comes out and they decide to fully remove it.

Yes, the murder of Litvinenko is considered state terrorism by those who can afford to say so. Its not considered random at all. They very publicly killed someone who was an outspoken opponent of theirs. KGB has a long history of both state terrorism and state-sponsored terrorism.

> THE senior British official was unequivocal. The murder of the former KGB man Alexander Litvinenko was "undeniably state-sponsored terrorism on Moscow's part. That is the view at the highest levels of the British government".

You might think that some forms of terrorism are worse than others, but that doesn't mean that those are the only forms of terrorism.

When I read about studies like these I always wonder how the placebo is done.

Here it is actually stated: "sham meditation" and petroleum jelly cream.

One of the problems with this is that the experimentors would know who got the placebo and who did not.

I don't think it is far fetched than a subject would sense whether they were being taught mindfulness mediation which the experimentor perceived as being genuine or "sham meditation" which the experimentor knew to be false.

Whether a subject perceives she is undergoing an effective treatment obviously will effect the placebo effect and probably also show on brain scans.

Behind the wagon that we flung him in,
And watch the white eyes writhing in his face,
His hanging face, like a devil’s sick of sin;
If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood
Come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs,
Obscene as cancer, bitter as the cud
Of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues,—
My friend, you would not tell with such high zest
To children ardent for some desperate glory,
The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est
Pro patria mori.

I'd be in agreement with you if the OP started and stopped with that first sentence, but he didn't. And OP is not claiming that all Muslims are violent or making a generalization like that - he very specifically referred to reputation for same and cited a document showing a significant minority of Muslims who support or tolerate violence, especially in France.

I also agree that he would have been better served to clarify in his post that the problem is particularly acute in France rather than in general, but even a cursory glance at the document he provided will bear that out. However that is something to bring up in further discussion (as I have actually done in a sibling comment). Then you can have a conversation about what France is doing differently from other countries that are having relative success, even to the point of e.g. the US where Muslims tend to be more peaceful than the wider population.

But when you just shut down the discussion as was done here, none of that can happen. That's why, as I say, if your goal is to integrate Muslims living in the West into Western society (and French Muslims into French society), then what happened here is counterproductive.
