But "wouldn't expect" isn't really knowledge, is it? It's just a presumption. It may or may not be valid. It could be based on a false premise, too. Apart from searching for hate-crime reports, there are many other possible reasons why someone would be googling for "kill muslims" that don't assume hateful emotional involvement. Curiosity, boredom; having read about a rise of anti-muslim comments. In what proportion? I don't know, and I don't claim to know, and if someone claims they do, I'm really sceptical about it. That's why I see these findings as rather useless. Too many unknowns for drawing conclusions.
It depends on the lead salt type, but you could usually precipitate the soluble lead into an insoluble salt with simple ingredients available at home - then, you could remove the formed salt with a proper filter to remove most of the lead.

Put more accurately, it's even softer sci-fi than Trek. The deuterocanonical "Expanded Universe" material[1] goes to a lot of effort to explain and justify stuff like moon-sized space stations and jet-fighter-sized ships that can destroy stars, but if you don't just sort of turn your critical faculties off and go along for the ride, it gets too much to bear pretty quick.

[1] Now more properly called the "apocryphal pre-Disney Expanded Universe material", or so I gather.
I was expecting to see a variant of this.

Indeed. I think we're not giving enough credit for how Facebook is designed.

People largely only post things that are happy, such as birth of a newborn baby, smiling kids, winning awards, having fun on vacation, while cropping out the sad or dull moments.

Those posts garner a lot of likes. And then those rise up in importance on feeds.

It's not uncommon to feel a bit envious of seeing these. So then we eventually we post something of comparable significance. Perhaps a new house. Or an achievement of our own like releasing a first version of something. Or a vacation we've scheduled.

It's creates a weird cycle detached from reality. I'm not depressed but I can't honestly say the experience doesn't affect me.
"it would be more prudent to augment the public funds to prevent your citizens from getting lead poisoning?"

In the context of Flint, this argument ends up a bit moot; there's no money, anywhere. Private, public, doesn't matter, the city can't sustain itself as it is. Flint has way more infrastructure than it can support. And "evaporative cooling" is in full effect; anyone who can leave, is leaving or more likely has left. As I live in the Ann Arbor area, I can name names. Flint is a popular place to be from.

A State of Emergency and the resulting external emergency assistance is the only way out of this mess for Flint, regardless. This is especially important if the recent theories about how dangerous lead poisoning is are true, with the suggestions that the majority of the cause of the crime wave in the 60s and 70s may have been due to leaded gasoline. Leading up the next generation of Flint residents could make things even harder for the city for the next 30-50 years, and Flint really doesn't need that.

It's also very easy to find gameplay videos and see the game for yourself.
There's a lot of value in naming a practice, though, no matter how common it is. I like both the description of the approach, and the name, and if it helps people characterize the difference between flavors of semantic versioning philosophy then that is a good thing.

>I'll sound pretty heartless but the post sounds entitled. There is no grantee of riches just because you're "famous".

I don't recognize any of these people. I think calling them famous is a stretch. Having impressive youtube numbers, well, isn't that impressive outside of youtube. I see millions of views on crap like cat videos or terrible comedy or whatever. If someone is getting regular high numbers that means he or she is competitive with a cat yawning video or someone doing tasteless race comedy (two things recently forwarded to me). I think these people need to realize that things are much more competitive outside their little worlds and they simply aren't talented enough to make it outside of their little echo chambers.

Also, a pet peeve of mine is the phrase "internet famous." These people are best sub-sub-genre famous or whatever. There is no singular internet culture. Its a lot of different cultures connected by tcp/ip.

There's something about entertainment that's just awful. The unbelievable egos involved, the entitlement, the lack of criticism, the fanboys/girls telling them they're awesome, etc. I imagine this all leads to some pretty sour attitudes like the one quoted. From a financial perspective 70k followers isn't a lot. Its not going to pay out. Even if each of those people gave you a dollar, which they wont - hell they're probably running ad block, its a measly $70k. For "real" famous people that's a rounding error.
Diseconomies of scale apply in wholesale finance too. Put a big order on a limit order book, and you'll exhaust the liquidity and move prices against yourself. Dealers usually offer wider spreads for large trades as they'll have to work off a large position afterwards, and they need compensating for taking the risk of being on the wrong side of a major price move while they have the position.
But... to argue lead is nontoxic is counterfactual!

Isn't the point being made that the threshold doesn't really matter, as long as the quality games are surfaced? Would the top games in the App Stores be better if Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo could set the threshold?
Which is why one shouldn't make a career out of being a politician.

Perhaps we need more regular, able to work in an industry other than lobbying after holding office folks run for office and not worry if they don't get re-elected.
I think having a PC encourages that practice though. On a console, I pop the disc in, play. On a PC, I notice the screen does tear a bit(the game runs at 40-50gps, so no v-sync) so I go into settings and try to play a bit to make it work nicely. While I am at it, I might as well overclock my GPU a bit. Since I am doing that, I might order a new fan from Amazon. Oh, actually, Nvidia released beta drivers which are said to improve the performance a bit. Hmmm they do, but now my PC crashes randomly. Maybe I need to go into bios and increase the voltage on the CPU so it's more stable. Wait, I was going to play that game, wasn't I? It's late now, I'm going to bed.

That's literally my experience recently. I also bought Batman Arkham knight on PC(which was famously broken on that platform) and ended up installing it on a seperate SSD just to make it run smoothly, and actually spent quite a while looking at trace statements and driver forums trying to make that game run in an acceptable way. Meanwhile, everyone who had it on PS4 just played it.
But again, I'm not trying to say that consoles are any better. I'm saying that they have a place on the market and to think they will disappear is a bit foolish.
I think rather than being a "very accurate understanding of the world", it might be characterized as a "very acute understanding of the world without pleasurable inputs." At least that is the way I perceive my own feelings (I am a fellow sufferer).

I get the point the article is trying to convey. Scale increases organizational complexity and overhead relatively more than the added manpower contributes. However, the analogy with the 'milk' is far off. First of all, since the 'duplication' cost of software is near 0, buying a single seat or license is more expensive than buying in bulk. With a few exceptions, this can be established by browsing any product or SaaS website. Second, but this is minor, in retail vendors often abuse this expectation pattern and have now started to charge more per volume for the larger packages.
The production side of software is more like R&D, and there you find the diminishing returns, as iconified in DeMarco's 'the mythical man-month'.
XBone release a load of details which everyone hated. PS4 says, hey everybody we're not doing any of that. And. And. And......

We're $100 cheaper.

Why was the cheering a surprise? It's classic showmanship. And they could afford to do it because they weren't bundling the controversial kinect.
Oh, definitely.

Is it that strange? I don't have a clue who these people are. 70,000 followers on the Internet is not that notable, especially since no one knows if a follower is a person, a robot or a corporate SM account. Where is the story of the people with millions of followers that can't make money?
Also, being famous isn't going to make you money unless there is business smarts involved. Working as a waitress, well she probably needs to do some networking. I remember meeting Dave Moffat, once famous, still has fans, working as a waiter. Really super nice guy, not smart, very unaware of business, and no clue how to monetize.

Michael Moore is great example of Michigans backwardness. Michael Moores high school won't put him in their hall of fame. As if they have had anyone else make any sort of impact as large as his. Recently the Bruins goalie skipped a visit to the white house to meet Obama. He went to the same high school as Moore. The goalie was praised and is in the hall of fame there. It's backwards. There is a lot of unreasonable hate for Michael Moore and I don't even particularly like the guy, but I definitely respect what he has accomplished.

Yeah, I'm looking at the security discussion with interest and a lot of confusion.

I appreciate that security is important and those that give it up for connivence deserve neither... but I'm at a loss as to why some 'hacker' would go to the effort to sift through the type of content that is typically stored on the average NAS box. Like you said, family photos, birthday videos...

I guess the saddest part is that the DC Metro seemed no worse than others I've ridden on as a tourist, such as Atlanta or NYC. The couple of times I've been to DC, the Metro seemed at least the equal of my home-town (Boston) MBTA which I rode for years as my daily commute. DC's Metro sucks? Yeah, welcome to the US.
> I don't make up justifications for my actions. He said he blocks ads because he doesn't know if a link will lead to a page littered with ads, but that's not the case at all.

It's absolutely the case. I held off installing an ad-blocker for a long time, longer than most of my friends. If ads had not become more intrusive I would not have started blocking them.

Sure, I'm getting other benefits, but not knowing if a link will lead to a page littered with ads is absolutely the cause of my blocking them; if that wasn't the case I wouldn't do it.

It's been a long time since I've been to DC, but honestly, when I was in DC, I thought the Metro was among the best subways I'd ever seen. Clean, quiet, smooth. Paris is the only place I've been that had better. But it sounds like DC's has maybe not been kept up as well in the last several years.

It's not just you. The Keen games were fun, but I'd always prefer to play Mario as a kid. I wouldn't be all that surprised to learn that part of the reason Nintendo declined the partnership offer was because id's SMB3 engine wasn't actually very faithful to the original game -- for all that its jump timing and ground friction are quirky and occasionally weird, they are also very distinctive, and it's obvious from the video that id either didn't understand that or didn't understand why it was important.
Xen GPU passthrough works if the GPU vendor supports VT-d passthrough. Many AMD discrete GPUs work in this configuration, from low end to high end versions. Nvidia high end models may work, but low end models are unlikely to work.

Yes, the attack surface is widened to include the GPU, with isolation theoretically provided by the VT-d IOMMU. Some recent Intel CPUs support hardware virtualization of the integrated GPU, which likely further widens the attack surface, but enables multiple VMs to have hardware-accelerated graphics. This supports KVM and Xen, but is not (yet?) supported by Qubes, https://01.org/igvt-g/blogs/wangbo85/2015/intel-gvt-g-xengt-....

About 7 years ago I had a job where we supported almost every Unix all the way back to AT&T SVR3 (including OpenServer, UnixWare, HP-UX, AIX, Linux, OSF/1). With the exception of SVR3 every single one had binary packages for Perl 5.
Flawed by design. There are only 2 sets of tracks instead of 3 or 4 like most cities; in DC, trains can't pass each other except in unusual circumstances. There are no sidings or passings at stations. They can not run express trains, use skip-stop, etc. As usual, the DC-centric view is that it's a political / will-power issue when the reality is the analog of bandwidth - you can't fit more trains on the track no matter what control "protocol" you use.
It's more that Flint is an industrial town and Dow has been polluting the river for 120 years.

It's also not direct pollution per se, it's that the river is so polluted that it's crazy acidic and it's corroding lead out of the pipes. A compounding factor is that it's got all kinds of funky bacteria stuff going on, which can also accelerate the corrosion process.
The Manhattan project example struck me as an odd idea in the paper, as the project involved creating a whole industrial infrastructure from scratch [1], where it seems like the Death Star is a very large spacecraft in a galaxy filled with spacecraft. The carrier example seems like a better model to project from.

I haven't been to many other subway systems in the US other than Chicago, Atlanta, and D.C. I would say in the US that D.C. seems to be the worst from the sense of long times between cars, full cars that stop but you can't get on because it's completely full, and making it difficult to add value to a stored value card.

Including European systems I feel that I can tell if a system is good or not if it impedes the travel part of my day. Can I notice that the system is actively getting in my way?

The electron seems to very much be point-like[0], and its lack of decay, now with an extraordinary bound on its lifetime--these observations seem to suggest the electron really is the fundamental particle the standard model says it is.

It's interesting, as time goes on and more data comes in, the standard model is verified again and again, much to the chagrin of theoretical particle physicists who hope for more beyond the standard model.

I once saw a talk by Fabiola Gianotti, the leader of the ATLAS detector when the Higgs was discovered, and she said that the lack of evidence for supersymmetry might lead to a "crisis" in particle physics. It was surprising, because up till that point, she spoke matter-of-factly, but it's possible what she's saying is true.

The primary problem with supporting ARM is that Sandstorm apps run native binaries. So in order to support ARM, every single Sandstorm app would need to be able to also be recompiled for ARM, or you end up fragmenting the ecosystem.

I'm also not sure how many board PCs like a Raspberry Pi or what have you would handle Sandstorm well performance-wise, though I do think there's some 64-bit board PCs you can get now to try it on.

You're also correct about hg not versioning empty directories with the default mercurial install. A previous place I worked had a non-standard extension - that unknown to me may very well have used the .keep file trick you described.

It's space opera, which is a subgenre of science fiction.

Some people invent definitions of "science fiction" that exclude some works of science fiction, but that's silly. There's no definition of "science fiction". It's a concept that we feel out by pointing to things that are "clearly science fiction" and then sort of deriving a fuzzy decision boundary from that. If you ask people whether Star Wars is science fiction, most people will say yes. Robots! Lasers! Space ships! Aliens! It's clearly science fiction.

There are useful definitions, which talk about subsets of science fiction that don't include Star Wars. But those aren't definitions of science fiction, even if they use the same words.
