Hmm...I never thought it was strange. Turkish Delight is delicious. I pick some up whenever I find myself in a Mediterranean grocery. I'm not fond of every flavor, especially the very sweet ones, but the fruit and nut options are delightful, to me. I find it interesting that it's considered a major disappointment by a lot of folks. I mean, I think every friend I've ever had that's tried it, after my raving about it, has been somewhat less enthused about it than I am, but I don't think anyone has ever said it was repulsive.
Lot of liberties restriction has been enacted to limit the number of death on the roads :

- increasing limitation of speed

- seat belt

- engine limitations

- speed radar everywhere

- fine without human to attest speed excess

- driver's license removal, point system

an endless list, every few month a new liberty limitation about road death is enacted

You either have delicious deodorant, or you've been eating very bad Turkish Delight.
That's the kind of insight you'd get when you hang around these people, you get the chance to know them very well and what they really think and not what they want you to think of them.

I acknowledge that there are different strains of them but deep down they're the same who only care about consolidating their power and accumulating more wealth.

Also, a lot of them share a very perverse idea of the concept of "Monopoly on Violence" pertaining to the state in modern political philosophy that they get to do whatever they like with people if they cross the line but here's the catch that where that line is drawn is left for everyone to decide.

So, when an unintentional terrorist attack occurs within their "realm", they freak out because they feel that this privilege to subjugate or coerce people is challenged or worse it's about to be used against them and then and only then you get to see the ugly face of them and who they really are.
Agreed, most people default to 3D printing. I think that's OK for brackets or joints but cut steel is so much more appropriate for anything larger.

The only thing holding it back is the bending operation, even 1.5mm is difficult to bend by hand with a "real" bender. Most people would not be able to do that operation at home. Solutions?

I always wondered if we could generate power in Antarctica from harnessing ice sheet movement.

Perhaps Have it pull a cable geared up by some crazy amount and turn a generator.

Anyone know if this has been investigated? It could produce more power than hydro electric since these sheets are massive. (And constantly renewed by snowfall)
But is a cheap coal plant a worse polluter than N household cooking fires, where N is the number of households that the cheap coal plant enables to switch to electric cooking? (Don't forget that those households also probably heat the house with wood fires or something equally nasty.)
If you would have the same setup, but with EC2 instead of lambda, you would still have the same CloudFront pricing, so you should compare the $410 lambda costs for 100.000 customers with the costs of some EC2 servers plus ELB. Of course, then, you will miss the benefits of 1. no server-maintenance, 2. no down-time or scaling issues and 3. initial startup costs - without customers.
> Pass new national laws which split the cellular companies into two organisations, one that offers consumer services, and another which exists to maintain/install/upgrade the physical cellular network (and who then resells access).

That was the shape of the cellular networks in the UK in the early days of mobile telephony, IIRC.
Oh sure, people around 1950-70 looked at the pace of change over the last 100 years: from horse and cart and gas lamps to electricity, intercontinental jets and moon landings and projected in on linearly to moon and Mars colonies in the next 50 years. And then ... that progression clearly wasn't linear, it peaked and slowed down after then.

But change hasn't stopped though. It could speed up again. Even if it doesn't, those Mars colonies and robot asteroid mines are not ruled out just delayed - they are back on some people's long-term plans now.
I loved them, so I bought my family boxes of them last Christmas. They complained that the turkish delight tasted like flowers/perfume -- now that's all I can taste, and I don't get it often anymore.
That's really a disgusting argument the 150 death this year where all civilians citizens, no stateman.
Well, let's reverse the question. What do you use to base your opinion on? I've run a setup like the one described above for years and my whole house was powered from that, it was a lot more reliable than solar + batteries only.
That is, a $100m acqui-"hire". And the problem is, probably even Dropbox thinks that way. Am I the only one who thinks this is just a bit bonkers?

Coming at this a little sideways, the Eclipse Phase sourcebooks might be what you're after - Sunward ( http://eclipsephase.com/releases/sunward-inner-system ; it's liberally licensed so there are legitimate torrents around as well ) is likely to have the most about the Venus aerostat habitats in-setting. Eclipse Phase is intended as an RPG but it's extremely hard sci-fi that at times feels it's as much a futurological thesis as a game.
That's because you're reflexively dismissing people on the other side. They're still there, though.

Why should the Christian speaker drop Christmas from the seminar title? It's his seminar, and he gets to decide what to title it. In fact, I think it is offensive to suggest that Christians should sterilize Christian history and iconography from anything they produce.

If Donald Knuth decided that his Christian iconography was interfering with the message he wanted to send, then it's his talk and he gets to decide to change the title.

If a Jewish/Christian/Muslim professor wants to talk about the 9 Lifos of the Menorah, I don't see a problem with that, either.
"The global warming brigade hijacked the pollution issue."

This is why I hate environmental discussions with a passion, because at some point if one expresses less than total agreement with the AGW crowd you apparently are in the pocket of Smokey McCoalstove and enjoy smog, dead fish, and coughing babies. Martin Luther received a warmer response from the Catholic Church than some "deniers" who dare question the established dogma.

This is kind of a weird criticism since there's so much variety in Turkish Delight. It would be like saying "cereal is too sweet" or "snack bars have unfamiliar flavors", when both of those things, like Turkish Delight, can be made with all sorts of different flavors.
5 Tips to Grow Your Online Sales
To play Devil's advocate here, it's a very non-engineering mindset to discard the possibilities in revolutionizing the hair dryer. Sure, it's not as glamorous as working on the top Node.js module on Github, but you know what's in nearly every household in America? A hair dryer. I'm not aware of any significant changes in hair dryers beyond safety for a good long while (though, as a short haired person, I don't use them often so I could be mistaken). It seems like a good thing to work on. I don't believe the circuitry is very complicated, and the ceiling for complexity you could work with is fairly high (i.e. is there some combination of heat, air pressure, and air directionality that could cause curlier hair?). It gives an entry point to people at various skill levels.

I think there was a gap in communication. Women felt as though IBM were implying that they should stick to their gender roles, when really IBM was saying that women are in a unique opportunity to improve on womens products. Not that they can't work on more "serious" subjects, but rather that they welcome both genders to work on all of their projects but this one is something women are going to be better at due to experience. It would have been far more impressive if the project had ended with a far more efficient or featureful hair dryer than burned down amidst cries of sexism.
Most of the data visualized by these types of libraries don't have any sort of variance or confidence interval behind the data. You're looking at things like sales forecasts, server latency, number of employee hours, or other precisely measurable quantities. The whole context around those numbers never talks about the notion of variability or reproducibility, so the idea of putting error bars on there doesn't help communicate anything.

Why don't scientists use these libraries, making error bars an appealing thing to add? In my experience, D3 isn't a great too for interactive analysis: plot, stare, tweak, re-plot. I get bogged down in the details of the visualization, vs something like Matlab that almost always throws up a reasonable plot with interactive controls. Since D3 doesn't encourage the type of workflow that results in a graph with error bars, you get a self-reinforcing dynamic where nobody who works with D3 is interested in making it easy to create graphs with error bars.
Airbnb Confirms Its Massive $1.5B Raise
My family always described what I was doing with my C64 as "playing with the computer". Sure, I played games on it, but I also spent a lot of time typing in those programs from the magazines. Younger developers today are shocked and amazed when I describe the hex dumps with line-by-line checksums they used to print, and that your first challenge was to type in the code-entry program mistake free, without relying on the checksums to get every character correct.

To this day, even though I touch-type most of the time, I can still type quickly with one hand, while the other hand is used to keep my place on a printed document I'm transcribing. (Not that I do that much anymore.)
Speaking as an engineer, you're supposed to design for the worst-case tolerance stack to be viable...

If 0.01% is out of spec then you need tighter tolerance specs on your individual components or otherwise your design does not mathematically make sense.

This sounds like a design and process control issue as much as anything.
There are few things as satisfying to read as a witty denouncement. Sometimes the accuracy (which I have no knowledge of) can rightly take a backseat to the theater, as long as you remember to not take it too seriously.
Verizon has paid many billions of dollars to license spectrum over the years. It is in their business interest to charge customers $10 per GB of data while offloading the traffic onto free spectrum. Qualcomm wants to sell millions of new chips that will be required to power this new scenario.

It would be extremely unwise to let them push LTE-U thru without lots of independent testing and analysis. Even then there is a case to be made for keeping some spectrum 'open' and unlicensed lest we see it all end up owned by a handful of corporations.
That's a cool tech. If it really provides decent attenuation of WiFi without affecting other radios I think it may still take off in the future. There will be a point when 2.4GHz WiFi doesn't work anymore at all.

It's a feature that I really liked using with third-party Java libraries, which is much less practical now that you have to explicitly define methods with the infix keyword in order to use it.

> [1] There might not be much to buy with that money due to effects like this / inflation now that everyone has more money but there's only the same amount (or less) of stuff to buy with that money.

If an employer raises wages, is that (in a small way) inflationary? Does average wage have a causal relationship with inflation (I wouldn't think so, but perhaps it does, serious question)? If not, why would basic income be inflationary per se ?

> [2] The actual job is horrible.

Jobs that are horrible might have to pay more, but probably not much more. I'd hope "do it or join the homeless" isn't a necessary stick for our economic system to function, but "do it or barely have enough money to survive" would suffice. If so, it's more awful than I'd already estimated. Hell, complete destitution isn't even really the stick now, since welfare is a thing, especially in OECD states that aren't the U.S.

I guess I don't find it clear how "only have basic income to live on" is a less effective motivator than "be on welfare" (in the broad sense of "welfare"). And since we already know modern economies function OK with the latter—some of which can include cash assistance—what substantial difference does the former represent?
Perhaps, but taking a famous person's list of books and reposting it with affiliate links and no disclaimer is definitely crossing the line in my book.
Myth of Sanity. Not CS relevant though, sorry.
An offbeat topic to challenge my mind.

My first experience with Turkish delight was a commercial product in a gold foil wrapper and a purple label (I don't know if it was fry's or not - it was in similar wrapping to the old kitkat - 1/2 paper, 1/2 foil). It was covered in chocolate with a centre that was chewy like a slightly softened beef jerky. It had a fragrant flavour that reminded me of perfume, but it was a resounding yuk.

In later years, I came across a gelatinous pink treat covered in a white powder - the texture was about as squishy as jelly. There was a more subtle taste and it was delicious.

I never remember associating Turkish delight with Narnia. But, I remember associating gold foil wrappers with willy wonka.
You should have a look at Circuit Scribe

It's basically pens filled with some kind of metallic ink that conducts electricity. It comes with "blocks" you place on a paper sheet. You use the pens to connect the blocks.
There are a lot of tiny islands out there (200,000+). The real costs are often just transportation there and back.
You must remember that a space station is not something like an Army fortification or a building which stands by itself or require very little maintenance, which could be done by a stationed unit.

* The ISS is actually falling back to earth and needs to be lifted from time to time. You need fuel for that.

* The personnel must be changed frequently (too much time in microgravity is harmful to the body). You need to take people in and out.

* The station itself is very little compared to a building. You can't store years of supplies there, just 12 months or so. You need to send up supplies.

So, you must send fuel, people and supplies very often to the ISS. This is very very expensive.

So, it comes a time where you should consider shutting it down or keep using it.

Keep using it for what? That is the question.
Make no mistake Iran is a dangerous state too and Shiite Islam can be weaponized too and could prove much more lethal than Sunni Islam given that religious Shiites usually follow their "Pope" or Supreme Leader blindly.

Just imagine an army of 500 mln or so that can be mobilized with a single fiery speech or declaration. Actually, that kind of empire or army is the wildest wet dream that Sunni radicals could have.
It is plainly obvious that CO and even CO2 from IC engines is drastically more fatal than anything coming out of an electric motor...I thought the trolling attempt was transparent, but apparently not. If I really wanted to provide a counter to the article, pollution from battery manufacturing is far more concerning than ozone (which has a half life measured in days) from brushed electric motors. And even that appears to be far less of a problem than the carbon economy.

That being said, ozone can be fatal over the long term, and researchers regularly segment pollution death estimates to include ozone pollution [1].

I would be glad to think the same of terrorist attacks. Unfortunately they're an almost daily occurrence.

Here's 2 predictions.

Option 1: Erdogan gets voted out, and it returns to be a vibrant world capital.

Surely not. I can't think of any reason a political candidate would redirect his site to someone else...the opponent's site.

That "formula" really isn't particularly difficult to work around.

First off, if you're open sourcing your codebase because you're getting out of a particular market, you have to ask whether revealing techniques and strategies to competitors in that market is really an issue. After all, if those techniques and strategies had given you a competitive advantage, you probably wouldn't be having this discussion.

Second: If you really are concerned about that, just use the GPL.
