So pretty much the only remaining domestic terrorism is from white supremacists. The key question is "how would the US react to white people trying to create a separate state within the US?

The article is just a sales pitch for the book, I don't see how the story is riveting enough to pay for, the article is ok but hardly a page Turner.
It's a common view, but a number of studies seem to contradict of at least question this:

http://openaccessweek.org/profiles/blogs/age-amp-science-do-...

"A study in 2002 examined 50 Nobel prize winners from each of the three prizes for physics, chemistry and medicine. This study recorded the age of the scientists when they had done the work that was rewarded with the prize and found that the centre points for age were: physics, 34; chemistry, 37; medicine, 40 (Marchetti C, 2002.) A study published in 1993 investigated a similar data set and concluded that scientists tend to be the most productive in their mid-thirties (Stephan & Levan, 1993.) Finally, a 2008 study of 300 randomly selected bioscientists revealed that the most productive age was 36-40 (Falagas et al., 2008) based on the number of citations from their publications. These studies all indicate that a scientist's greatest potential for discovery is during their thirties"

If instead you measure productivity in number of articles published, this study (http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2FBF00142022) claims that productivity peaks at 45-49. However that number covers a wide variety of fields, not just science, and makes no attempt to account for the quality or significance of the work.

It is quite very true, that dual GPU card if it ever comes out will be a replacement for the TitanZ a niche card not a flag ship.
NVIDIA leaned not to repeat that misstake from the 690 which was and be all accounts would be the last time they release a flagship consumer GTX line dual GPU card.
When you have a flagship card that can lose in benchmarks to cards 1/4th it's price because SLI/Xfire fails, and when you can't enable all the bells and whistles like Adaptive VSync (GSync/ASync), Temporal AA, DSR, and any other new "tech" that you boast about for 6 months before release because of SLI/Xfire you are going to fail and fail badly.
AMD had to release the X2 cards because they could not compete against the GTX780/780ti and the 980 was around the corner, by the time the 295x2 actually was available in the market at any decent amounts the 980 was already out, and while the 295x2 beat it in certain cases it was too little too late, especially considering that the 295x2 couldn't fit in many cases (same issue that the 690 had) needed a 350$ power supply to run which most people don't have (same as the 690), and produced enough hit to start fusion (not that far from the 690).
So no NVIDIA isn't fighting in the dual GPU arena anymore, they aren't releasing flagships, and they are smart enough to wait for the very end of their refresh cycle to release a "look how much money I got to spend on the latest Titan" card that will never be produced in any large amounts, will not be needed to beat the competition as far as single card performance goes.

For such laptops to exist, there should exist a memory controller that supports ECC RAM. Intel's chips have memory controller built-in, since Nehalem (2008) [1] and Intel has no mobile CPUs with ECC support. Apart from the brand-new mobile Xeon's, the first of which are released in September and have 45W TDP; [2][3] I think the laptops with them are not out yet.

Web UI designers should be familiar with concept of web components. Angular is maybe not the best choice, but React is quite easy to explain. It's all about such components. Every React component is like a brick you can use to build the whole house. Every component looks like a custom tag <Message/>, can have clear defined parameters <Message text="Hello World"/>. It is very performant and easy to reason about. Forget about HTML or CSS :) Think about the component and its properties. It's very simple. It does not need to be related to the browser. <Foo/> is just a convenient abstraction which can work with the browser or as iOS/Android native component (thanks to React Native). The component may use HTML inside, but it is it's implementation details.
> are there systems in place to blacklist a plugin and remotely remove it from an install (and possibly contact the install owners)

We have automated scanning systems for suspicious code commits. If they occur, me and a few others get an email for manual review of the problem. Additionally, many others get every commit and set up their own scanning tools to see what's happening, as it happens.

When something-bad™ happens, then we can close a plugin (block it from being downloaded or found in searches), revert changes or otherwise manually adjust any aspect of the plugin, and if necessary, push updates for it to any WordPress installs that have it.

Realistically, bad actors are not generally a problem for the plugins system. I can count on one hand the number of times this has occurred to the point where we'd need to actually push code. The real problem we're fighting is accidental security issues. While WordPress core is quite secure, plugins have much less eyes on the problem, and a lot of plugin developers are relatively new coders. Things like simple SQL injections still pop up from time to time in plugins, and that's a big problem.

So, the security issues with with plugins repository is not really about some malicious person out there. Malicious people tend to be dumb spammers. They're easy to spot and protect against, because they're only after the low hanging fruit. What we mostly try to find are the things that good coding practices would protect against, because not everybody uses good coding practices. Those tend to be harder to scan for on an automatic basis.
Which has always been the case, up until UNIX got a massive industry adoption that lead to C becoming widespread.

In the old days, SQL operated on rectangular tables and produced rectangular tables ... which doesn't work so well for data that's better modelled as a tree or graph. But there now lots of ways to produced multi-valued output and to operate on graph-structured data. In addition to PG's JSON, you might checkout recursive unions - which supports a subset of graph navigation. But while SQL may have grown just a tad more expressive, I'm not sure that performance is up to snuff. And even if it's now possible to express some things in SQL, it doesn't mean it's easy or readable.

in the traditional natural sciences that's not been true for a few centuries now. Theoretical physicists aren't classified as philosophers for example, which fits your 'asking' criteria. Theoretical scientists ask, experimental test.

It was still kind of true in the social sciences like psychology and sociology in the last century, but they've become more 'real', more rigorous and less influenced by philosophers, the questions in those fields today are now asked by people who wouldn't identify themselves as philosophers but as scientists.

I would say that change has really crystallized in the last 20 years, when I was in uni psychology and sociology were still considered a bit of a joke, kind of not real science and the philosophy courses I did about them still tried to pretend to be relevant in the discussion. Now I think we're starting to see the rigor really kick in, which is demonstrated in the recent reproducibility saga.

DOM-less Polymer-like approach to building complex JavaScript apps
I've been playing with the idea of a DOM-less Polymer-like library. After few days of hacking this is what I came up with:

https://github.com/arodic/carbon.js

I like Polymer, but I got tired from creating DOM elements and templates for every single piece of encapsulated logic so I made something that allows encapsulation and DOM-like composition in pure JavaScript.

It works with Polymer (with imperative binding only at the moment).

Let me know what you think!﻿

It does not seem to be working for me. It does not reflect logic changes and I thought it was only for UI,however that also had no effect.Am I doing something wrong?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betteridge%27s_law_of_headline... In other words, no: Claiming to have solved one use case of e-mail (and thus e-mail is done and gone) is very startupish, but slightly exaggerated. Slightly.

Definitely the preferred approach - it's worth noting, though, that you might provide access to the docker daemon over other transports as well.

Regarding the question of bind-mounting docker, it's worth knowing that there are still static binaries available at https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/binaries/#get-th....

In the process of building a bamboo-agent container for image CI at the minute, the static binaries have come in very handy.

The versions of the drivers in SteamOS are well behind up to date stable, let alone testing. You can easily pull in one of the many PPAs that track the latest stable and/or testing kernel/MESA/DRM/DRI stacks (such as xorg-edgers, obiaf or others).

If you are not happy with what is provided by stock SteamOS then your issue is with Valve's distribution not the current state of the drivers.
He did not give you a good source for his claims. There are other benchmarks and the driver situation changed after that. http://wccftech.com/amd-r9-fury-x-performance-ahead-nvidia-9... writes about the driver, http://www.computerbase.de/2015-06/amd-radeon-r9-fury-x-test... saw the Fury X in a different game selection a lot closer to the 980 Ti already after the launch. Still, the 980 Ti was ahead.

Regardless, the more interesting card price/performance wise was the Fury without the X (with the current prices that is debatable). To answer your question: AMD is seen as having the potential to beat Nvidia cards later on, with driver improvements and DirectX 12. Also, there is something to be said to favoring the smaller player in the market. Especially now, with the prices being adjusted to the performance difference.

It is not like choosing the slower card will lead to games being unplayable – never on normal resolutions, with reduced settings otherwise.
It's the 9th link when searching for 'dell security contact', but it is not on 'dell.com' so I can see how you missed that.

There is a dell.com/security page but it lists all kinds of stuff and does not provide a security contact.

Maybe every company should have a /security page with a contact?

Or even a 'security.x.com' website as a first point of contact?

Dell should probably instruct their personnel to forward any and all mail relating to potential security issues to the right department, but at the same time I don't feel that contacting their marketing department counts as the day the issue was properly reported.
