Your thinking is too America-centric. Gaddafi's aims have always been more focused on Europe and Israel. His regime has been connected with countless bombings in Europe - including the infamous Pan Am 103 bombing in 1988 - and aid to terrorist groups such as the IRA since the 70s.

In Back to the Future, there is a reason the designated terrorist figures were Libyan. At that time Gaddafi was actively seeking nuclear weapons material.
Have a read of this - the Commonwealth Fund rankings of wealthy country's health care systems, published last July:

http://www.commonwealthfund.org/publications/fund-reports/20...

Just to add some colour:

Quality: U.S. fares best on provision and receipt of preventive and patient-centered care. While there has been some improvement in recent years, lower scores on safe and coordinated care pull the overall U.S. quality score down

Access: Not surprisingly—given the absence of universal coverage—people in the U.S. go without needed health care because of cost

Efficiency: On indicators of efficiency, the U.S. ranks last among the 11 countries

Equity: The U.S. ranks a clear last on measures of equity.

Healthy lives: The U.S. ranks last overall with poor scores on all three indicators

The number of rotors, and their configuration. Multi-rotor aircraft are a bit more nimble and easy for a newbie to control than an RC helicopter, though a plane is even easier and (typically) slower.

Multirotor - 3+ rotors working to balance the craft, typically use fixed pitch props.

Helicopter - 1-2 main rotors, and optionally one sideways one on the back to counter the torque of main rotors. Typically use a swashplate to change the pitch of the rotors.

Airplane: 1-2 main rotors, pointing forwards, with wings and control surfaces on those wings.

Dresden was not done for industrial reasons – in fact, Dresden was chosen because it had next to no industry.

Let's remember what's being fought for: a democracy versus an autocracy based on raw power...replaced a democratic government that responded to its constituents with the rule of one man.

Except that is an unbelievably naive way of looking at the world. Popular power is always limited, even in a "democracy", thanks to the Iron Law of Oligarchy. Most people are too busy living their own lives to understand how the levers of power actually operate, or to understand the complicated ways in which they are getting screwed. And even when they do participate in politics, people are usually whipped into a frenzy based on envy, fear, and bigotry. Correspondingly, autocracy does not automatically mean "bad". Many powerful leaders actually did bring order to their realms, and allow people to live decent lives, free from internal strife. See Augustus, or the four good emperors of Rome. And often removing a strong ruler simply brings the realm into chaos. See the aftermath of the Arab Spring, the aftermath in Iraq and Libya. Or look at what happened after Brutus killed Caesar -- there were twenty more years of civil war until once again someone could win definitively.

I wrote much more in depth on this topic here: http://devinhelton.com/2015/08/dictatorship-and-democracy
I think you're confused; "the empire was a totalitarian regime that had to be eliminated" is the thesis you're trying to prove. So, what is your argument? Your original comment contained to points for this argument: (1) Republic is old, (2) the Senate was dissolved. (1) relies on the assumption that "old = good" and (2) assumes that elimination of Senate — about which we don't know pretty much anything at the moment — is bad. Does it really look convincing to you?

Oh, and Galactic Republic is/was too different from US political system for your comparison to be relevant in any way.

It seems like ILSVRC only has 2 datasets though, I wonder why they don't use a Kaggle-like approach ? My guess would be because they want people to be able to know their test score in order to put them in their papers.

That's why I'm asking. Since 1988 a lot of things happened, including the rise of first al-Qaeda and now ISIS, and he was against al-Qaeda and significantly improved the relation with the West since 1988. Anything newer? It just has no sense removing a guy who supported a terrorist act in 1988 by supporting the guys who did 9/11 and plan to do more. And now we even have the guys who are "too extreme" even for those of 9/11.

Tech Employment Stayed Strong in 2015
I'm a millennial and had no issues going to a foreign country and getting naked with complete strangers. (Japan, visiting an onsen.)

The problem is with American prudish behavior and helicopter "nudity-is-bad" parenting. I agree with many of the comments below: no wonder people have body/self image issues. The only nudity they see is from porn.
If the drone pilot is flying outside of controlled airspace (e.g. airport, major event, etc) and below 1,000 feet, and somehow an aircraft and drone collide then it is the aircraft pilot's fault. It is illegal to fly below 1,000 feet except in an emergency or in controlled airspace.

If your "dad" is routinely flying low enough over urban areas so that drones are a legitimate concern then they're likely also routinely breaking FAA rules and I hope they get fined.

Also, this is why most aircraft have insurance...
I think most people would exclude air and water from "anything getting sucked into a jet turbine". On the other hand, particulates can be a problem depending on scale, as evidenced by volcanic eruptions spewing ash that grounds planes.

Also, pedantic nitpick, the species is "Canada Goose." A "Canadian goose" is a goose of any species that happened to be born in Canada. A Canada goose could also be a Canadian goose, but if my experience growing up in Ohio is any indication, many of them lay their eggs (and are thus many are born) outside of Canada.
For vast majority of the procedures and surgeries you cannot get any quote. I tried to get quote for the standard procedure (that they have performed 100s of times) via phone and in person in Dr's office in 4 different hospitals. All of them told me that they do not know the price, since it depends on what my insurance will cover. They said that they need to do evaluation, schedule the procedure, submit paperwork to the insurance company and then I can get the quote, which is crazy, because to schedule the procedure you need to go through pretty expensive evaluation process. Basically just to know the price you may need to spend couple thousand dollars.

This happened to most of the people that I know that needed some kind of quote from the hospital. The clinic you have worked was an exception.

What does this have to do with my experience with Canada's health care system? I'm merely stating the facts of what my family had to go through and experienced with Canada's lack of mental health care support for my children, and the results.

Edit: Because you decided to edit your comment. Here are some other numbers for you.

-14 days vs 2+ years: US wait time vs Canada wait time to get help for my autistic son. We had help before we arrived in the US. We had no help for autism while up in Canada.

$0/yr vs. $36,000/yr: US cost vs Canada cost for autism therapy. The $36k Canadian cost was the soonest we could get it, which was still a wait time of more than a year after the appointment (which had an additional wait time).

Canada did have more doctors complaining that we were trying to do to much for our children though. It has that going for it.
> Which mail providers provide Sieve support ?

Nobody really does, which I find extremely frustrating since sieve is supposed to be the Internet standard for mail filtering.

Fastmail sort of does, in that they use sieve rules; but last time I looked, they didn't have a managesieve interface, which means I can't just upload the sieve rules I have spent a lot of time creating on my home email server. I have to create them from scratch using Fastmail's rather clunky (IMO) interface.

As far as I can tell, no other email provider uses sieve at all.

>I was surprised to find out that tuples are not AnyObjects. The reason is that AnyObject corresponds to an Objective-C object, an object that can exist in the Cocoa world. We still write apps in the Cocoa framework so mostly we deal with AnyObjects. And often times (in the case of strings for instance) there is implicit bridging between the two sorts of objects. Then there is also an Any object, which is not (necessarily) an AnyObject, but is the Swift equivalent of the Objective-C general object (represented in Swift by AnyObject). All very confusing, and inexplicably confusing if you consider that Swift had a chance to start with a clean slate.

How is that confusing, and much more "inexplicably" so?

It's clearly because Swift wanted to take advantage of its clean slate that this is the case. So you have AnyObject for items that need the legacy Objective-C object tree support, and Any for the Swift native equivalent.

Eventually this allows them to drop AnyObject, and keep Any when they're finally able to go all-Swift.

An acquaintance recently counted up their list of mp3 downloads and had ~150,000 songs, representing 15 years worth of downloading and a relatively narrow music interest spectrum.

I imagine that it is easier to auto download all the new releases from your favorite genres than it is to try to download everything from all release dates from all the genres that you don't even enjoy.

Try driving your car or getting into amateur radio. Not only do you have to register, you have to take tests to show your proficiency.

It's a limited space, there have been multiple, highly public incidents; registering via a website and agreeing that you know the basics of how to fly your toy safely is pretty lax compared to what I was expecting to come out of it.
Racism toward the people in power can't exist, is the usual argument. But ultimately I can't see how this helps the cause. They are brow beating the only people that are trying.
I don't know what country you're referring to, but in US criminal law, there is no such thing as "hacking". There is only unauthorized use. Cases will turn on whether you should have known that your use of the site while testing for security bugs was unauthorized (short answer: yes, you should have known), and whether it caused damage.

But that's criminal law. That's a real concern, but the bigger concern is tort law. If you blow up someone's site by getting an XSS input cached and replayed to all its users (or, heck, even if you just cause an alarm that they have spend money responding to), you are going to be liable.
Drone Registration Rules Are Announced by F.A.A
Nope. Since I signed up for rdio several years ago, I listen to much much more music than I did before. If I was listening only to stuff I owned, I'd get sick of it pretty fast. People who listen only to music you own: isn't it really expensive to buy enough that you don't get bored?
Non-defense discretionary, the part of the federal budget most of those people are probably being paid out of, is about 17% of the federal budget.

> I mean, it takes significant effort to do the "under the towel caterpillar shuffle" to change, all because having a bare butt for the 4 seconds from when your towel is dropped until your underwear is on is untenable.

Hah. So I worked at a USAF base. We received 3 hours/week as "fitness leave". Two gyms available, running trails and places to go cycling or swimming. I took them up on it because, dude, why not get in good shape if the office is going to pay you to? I kept trying to talk coworkers into going with me (for runs, or as lifting partners). But they wouldn't, "I don't want to change in the locker rooms." Ok, fine, they have bathroom and shower stalls you can change in. "I don't want to see other guys walking around naked." Dude, it's nothing you've not seen before. Sure you haven't seen that guy naked, but just don't look, or keep your eyes up, or get over it. They literally opted not to make their lives a bit better (less time in the office, more time in the gym, gym time didn't take away from free time, etc.) because they were so scared of seeing another man naked.
Yes, with enough information, sometimes the compiler can compute the result of a loop and then discard the loop itself.

I made sure this wasn't happening.
Jack Crenshaw, of "Let's Build A Compiler" fame, has an interesting critique of works like these:

http://compilers.iecc.com/crenshaw/tutor8.txt

The main point for our discussion is last:

> Desire for Generality

> We have been concentrating on the use of a recursive-descent parser to parse a deterministic grammar, i.e., a grammar that is not ambiguous and, therefore, can be parsed with one level of lookahead.

> In practice, these issues turn out to be considerably less important. Modern languages tend to be designed to be easy to parse, anyway. That was a key motivation in the design of Pascal. Sure, there are pathological grammars that you would be hard pressed to write unambiguous BNF for, but in the real world the best answer is probably to avoid those grammars!

Here's a bit more of what he said, heavily snipped:

> Limited RAM Forcing Multiple Passes

> All the early compiler writers had to deal with this issue: Break the compiler up into enough parts so that it will fit in memory. When you have multiple passes, you need to add data structures to support the information that each pass leaves behind for the next. That adds complexity, and ends up driving the design.

> Batch Processing

> In a mainframe compiler as well as many micro compilers, considerable effort is expended on error recovery ... it can consume as much as 30-40% of the compiler and completely drive the design. The idea is to avoid halting on the first error, but rather to keep going at all costs, so that you can tell the programmer about as many errors in the whole program as possible.

> Large Programs

[Basically comes down to "This is 1980s Micro Land. We don't have mmap or virtual memory in general. The simple way is to keep everything in RAM and encourage small subroutines."]

> Emphasis on Efficiency

[This is an interesting point. He says that we have fast enough CPUs that compilers can emit sub-optimal code and it doesn't matter.]

> Limited Instruction Sets

[Eh. I don't agree that limited instruction sets make compilers more complicated. Even in his design, code generation was a rather trivial part of the entire program.]

My understanding is doctors in US are trained to scare you about every possible negative outcomes. I find visiting a doctor here is much much more stressful than doing it in India.

For a simple chest pain, doctors here would tell you 145566 possible scenarios that may happen with your body, and wouldn't confirm any unless he sees a lab test. And then, a tide of lab tests would start, which will cripple you financially, and emotionally because all you are thinking is which test would be +ve, which -ve; diving on internet where people usually blog about their -ve experiences. Usually, it could be just a muscular pain, etc, which become so irrelevant as you are undergoing all these lab exams.

I don't want to blame the doctors here as such, because that's how they are trained here. I guess it boils down to this robust "suing infrastructure" here, that if you missed out a rare symptom with a patient, he will sue you and finish your career.

One thing which I couldn't understand is why in a developed country, lab tests are so expensive. An Xray, costs about $100; similar thing costs about Rs 80 (equivalent to $1.25). Shouldn't they be cheaper here, given there are gizmos for everything, and all electronics items are much cheaper here than India. I think these costs are all artificial.

I think a mix of both approaches (insurance + free market) would better.

The Pair Programming Experiment
There weren't any more spas in the US during the 1960s and 1970s, but there certainly were common showers in the locker rooms in high schools and junior high schools. For that matter, there were in the early 1980s, when a race I ran in ended at a junior high school.

If I'm following your argument, you're saying, "drones are currently not that powerful, so they should be viewed as a toy." The problem is, that argument is destined to become false. Drones are only getting more and more capable. Intelligent legislation works not only for the current scenario but also future ones.

Additionally, there are many stories regarding how current drone operators either ignore common sense regarding where to fly, or make mistakes that put planes in danger, or whatever. You can simply google "airline drone near miss" to see examples. Just because people theoretically could act in an intelligent manner doesn't mean we can rely on them to actually do so.
This is why ABX testing is so big in lossy audio circles. People can and do demonstrate their ability to distinguish between lossy and lossless encodings with certain samples in double-blind tests, at all sorts of bitrates. I've done it myself occasionally.

That people have been doing this for many years is one of the big reasons modern encoders are so good - they've needed tonnes of careful tuning to get to this point.
