How do you suppose they were converted to Islam? By peace or by threat? You just said it did not spread by peace. So if they were farmers before that?

Everything is always a trade off. Finger prints offer considerable convenience, especially when they work in tandem with something like a secure HSM.

For example, on an iPhone 5s and beyond, the fingerprint doesn't decrypt the phone, it unlocks the secure enclave which decrypts the phone.
I'd love to read an article about the various high-performance JS engines. Something like http://fabiensanglard.net/doom3/ but for Nashorn, V8, JavascriptCore and Firefox covering approach, policies, code quality and bug stats.

Plus, they aren't really innovators.
This, but for software UI/UX. Anyone want to put me out of a job?
At least in major Southern cities, the problem was often "the blacks." Highway locations were often chosen to cut off less-desirable neighborhoods from city centers and more upscale residential neighborhoods. (I-30 in Dallas and the proposed I-485 in Atlanta, and arguably Robert Moses' Cross Bronx Expressway all come to mind.)

Today, the need for highways hasn't gone away, but more enlightened urban planning and urban gentrification means that cities are finding ways to either relocate or ameliorate the effects of those roads -- though the expense is significant.
They were meant to get people from far out of the city into the city, fast, in a way that would only be accessible to professional-class whites, so that they could keep downtown jobs while moving their families to the suburbs and stop spending their property tax money on poor brown people.
Yeah, but the story wasn't that "someone" mocked the name, it was that the car was a commercial failure because of it. As far as I know, EE had at least quite a few years of success despite the name.

I did the same, except I bought one for it's wifi streaming capabilities. Long story short, the wifi streaming did not work.
> To apply the first bullet point at the end of the essay [0] would necessarily mean the end of the US's Federal Republic. Do you disagree?

It totally depends on whether groups/states decide to remain part of it. To the extent that they do it will continue to be, and to the extent they don't it will cease to be.

> Is there a national government on Earth that you feel is well-run and adequately represents its citizens? If there is such a government, what is the representative-to-constituent ratio in that nation?

Heh, believe it or not that is a project I'd already set for myself.

It's not something I can answer for you in five minutes right now, but I will point out that Switzerland tops many charts and it actually employs direct democracy.

> If there is not such a government, what are the top five [1] problems with the way the most reasonable national governments of the world govern?

Ignoring for the moment the (non)existence of such a government, I'll rattle off a couple:

- Group rules do not represent the interests of group members. Most governments instead represent either the interests of the most wealthy (plutocracy) or the most vicious (dictatorships), and few (if any) provide explicit mechanisms for secession.

- Member votes are not properly weighed based on their understanding and knowledge of the issue they are voting on.

That last issue could be addressed by liquid democracy, or a group currency group fund: http://groupcurrency.org/#GroupFund
Lambda is something new. It's akin to BaaS (backend-as-a-service, like Parse or Firebase), but operates fairly differently from them, and doesn't have the mobile focus. Not sure if I'd lump it under BaaS or if it's an entirely new category (EaaS, execution-as-a-service?).

> BTC is not simple enough to allow regular people to send remittances to other countries.

They are using companies to do it. There are also multiple bitcoin atms in other countries. Also a company in thailand has made it so anyone can send btc to a code, and someone using that code can get cash from the atm.

> Are you telling me that people who send their money overseas are going to wait for BTC to process their payment which may take an insane period of time seeing that right now Bitcoin can only process 1-3 transactions per second?

This is so far off base I have to wonder if you have even used bitcoin or if you are just threatened by it in some way. I've bought things with it many times including very recently. Transactions take 1-2 seconds to show up, and the same 10 minutes per miner confirmation that they always have (coinbase will let you use money after 3 confirmations).

> What is in place right now works fine for those who want to send money overseas to their families. Hell, it doesn't require a day's worth of electricity consumption by an average home to do so.

Both of these things are total bullshit. Gouging people who already have very little money for 11% just for them to send it to their families is not 'working' and your electricity idea is so ridiculous I think the burden of proof is on you ( and keep in mind that more transactions don't use up more electricity).
Which makes Facebook's case interesting, since you can't control through which UI your recipient will view your message.

I once had to reconnect with someone whom I only know how to contact via Facebook, and sent an email-style message broken into a few short paragraphs. I did this in the "full screen" messages window, and later happened to view my sent message in the tiny chat box.

If I had received that huge message in a tiny chat box I would have had a very negative reaction: "Ugh, what does THIS guy want and what's he rambling about?"
LED bulbs have drivers (usually AC to constant current converter) integrated so they should stabilize power themselves. My guess would be that there might be high voltage spikes that managed to burn a driver. Another possibility, that just came to my mind -- LED's, especially high power ones like Creed, become very hot, maybe your bulb slot is very tight and isolated and there's not enough room to dissipate the excess heat?
