Cars have steep deprecation over the first two years. After that, deprecation flattens out. When you continuously lease every two to three years, you're paying far more depreciation expense than if you kept the car longer or bought used.

It's still a value judgement. If you value having a new car every two to three years, which also means you won't be doing maintenance other than oil changes, then you might be willing to pay the extra money.

> when she asked about gas mileage the salesman response was if you are worried about the gas cost this is not the car for you.

New world. I worry about gas mileage because of the impact to the environment - not because of the cost. I want a highly reliable, luxury performance car but I want it with a minimal cost to the environment.
I find language interesting. The word "afraid" suggests some conscious level understanding of the fear you're feeling. A fear response doesn't require you to be conscious of it.

When someone stands too close behind me, particularly if it's unexpected or a stranger, while I'm not afraid (I am not concerned about being assaulted in any form), my body still tenses up. That's a fear response.

Something comes quickly at you, seen in your peripheral vision, you react by flinching, perhaps some adrenaline. A fear response, it may cause an emotional response of fear, or it may not. But it creates the physiological response to it.

I feel like the Body is also good place to go.
I'm a fan of Tesla/Musk, but at a glance I have to question the validity of the comparison chart, which seems to exclude a lot of cars in the Model S's pricerange from all of the manufacturers. I'd be a lot more interested if this included all cars by the manufacturers above the Model S's $70,000 base price. Picking out one or two models misses that an absurd overabundance of models/options at every pricepoint is pretty fundamental to the auto market as it exists today. All of the makers are building an ever-expanding lineup, and the large sedan category listed here strikes me as a niche that's rapidly going extinct in the U.S., at least.
Let's also not underestimate the insanely powerful board of directors that was assembled.

You have a handful of US Senators, a couple of CEOs from megacompanies like Bechtel and Wells-Fargo, the ex-director of the CDC, and two ex-Secretaries of State including Henry Kissinger.

How many other 19 year-old college dropouts can put that board together?
Nice, but the whole operation on the bottom of the stack as opposed to the top really made it hard. Great work and thanks for trying to bring something simple to kids.

I'm thinking of doing a stamp, move, spin type programming for an pre-intro course in programming.
There's another "feature" which hurts my sleep.
At the end of one book in the series, my Kindle has a "click here to get the next book" link. This is really nice, as I don't have to wait for shipping or bike to the library, but it also means I don't go to sleep after the end of the book.
I'm the opposite. I like technical books on paper, and I often print out RFCs I actively use. On the other hand, I think e-books are amazing for novels. They usually don't feature pictures, equations, tables or other weird stuff, and e-book readers are super-convenient for commute.
Yeah, and it was a fucking embarrassment to the NSA. Their security procedures were pretty lax, especially for a three-letter agency, but that seems par for the course given the budget climate in Washington.

But the difference was that in this case, the default policy is collection. If you collect everyone's data, then no special effort has to be taken to snoop on an individual's data (besides accessing it). There might be access logs; there might not be.

If there is a process that has to be followed to initiate data collection on a target, there will certainly be records of that process because they will be required to execute the process. It's at least better than having everyone's data sit in a datacenter somewhere ready to be searched by anyone with the proper security clearance.
While clearly some of you folks don't find it interesting, we found:

- The approximate volume of helicopter traffic that fly into and out of Davos, which was previously unknown

- The approximate number of helicopters that fly into and out of Davos, which was previously unknown

- The exact types of helicopters that were flying around Davos, which was previously unknown

This data also provide a benchmark for future analysis of and reporting on helicopter use patterns at Davos and elsewhere.
This doesn't prove that the number in the edited example isn't simply normal in a base b for some b.
The price difference is even more absurd when you consider the second-hand/used market. I tend to buy and read books in ebook format for the ease of being able to copy-and-paste from them and port them around on my cellphone, but for the great books I want as keepers on my bookshelf (bookshelves are wonderful conversational topics), I buy them in hardback at 50% the cost ($0.99 plus $3.99 shipping usually) from Amazon's network of used bookstores. The other benefit of cheap used books is that I can lend them out without caring if I ever get them back since I can get a replacement copy with the click of a button.
Well, that's the parents case though, as that wasn't really much of a problem people had.

"Oh this random place I happen to be is a perfect place to read, if only I had my library with me to pick a book".

If people know they'll be traveling, they pack a few books to have with them (or buy at the airport). If they're commuting (e.g. to work on a train or long bus ride) then they bring along the book they are reading at that point in time. But usually they just read at their house/study/office.

As for casual reading, there's always tons of stuff on the web.
Startups of the kind that attract interest in Silicon Valley have always involved a lot of blood. And for me, nothing in the article sounds any more crazy than some random recent grad guy with a camera attached to him 24/7.

I thought this was link bait but after a few searches it looks like 26,566 in 2015 figure is plausible [0][1]. That's kind of impressive! I thought it was still a niche market.

>Paper books for me are a universally superior product, they require no battery, don't feature update popups, wifi conncetions, eInk artifacts on page turns, accidental touchscreen events, inflexibility preventing storage in an inside jacket pocket, ...

That's interesting, I seem to get the same benefit with less hassle. For me the portability of ebooks more than makes up for all of these issues. I think as it becomes less common to carry extra things that don't need to be carried and the ebook technology improves, ebooks with become a more ideal experience for more and more people

If you hit L1-A to get into the boot monitor and typed the phrase "Love your country but never trust its government.", it would simply echo it back to you instead of printing an error.

There was definitely no DES software in the Sun boot ROMs, and the DES chips were optional and rarely used. If there was any DES software in the boot ROMs, it would have been illegal to ship Sun Workstations overseas, since DES software was officially considered an export controlled munition.

To address that problem, John funded and helped build Deep Crack [1], a hardware DES cracker, whose purpose was to prove that it was well within the capabilities of the NSA to crack DES (which they lied to deny), since EFF could do it for a few hundred thousands of dollars.

They published a book with the VHDL source code so you could build you own, which didn't include a floppy disk because that would have been considered a munition, so they printed the checksummed source code in the book along with software to reliably bootstrap scanning it in and validating it. (Like a software error correcting paper floppy disk, to get around the stupid export control laws.)

>In 1998, the EFF built Deep Crack for less than $250,000. In response to DES Challenge II-2, on July 15, 1998, Deep Crack decrypted a DES-encrypted message after only 56 hours of work, winning $10,000. This was the final blow to DES, against which there were already some published cryptanalytic attacks. The brute force attack showed that cracking DES was actually a very practical proposition. Most governments and large corporations could reasonably build a machine like Deep Crack.

>Six months later, in response to RSA Security's DES Challenge III, and in collaboration with distributed.net, the EFF used Deep Crack to decrypt another DES-encrypted message, winning another $10,000. This time, the operation took less than a day – 22 hours and 15 minutes. The decryption was completed on January 19, 1999. In October of that year, DES was reaffirmed as a federal standard, but this time the standard recommended Triple DES.

>The small key-space of DES, and relatively high computational costs of Triple DES resulted in its replacement by AES as a Federal standard, effective May 26, 2002.

Love your country but never trust its government.
-- from a hand-painted road sign in central Pennsylvania
hi austin, OP here (new acct because i noprocast'd myself but wanted to respond).

this book was written by my grandfather, with his macarthur genius grant, over 20 years ago. he gave copies of it to our whole family for christmas (he had done this once before, 20 years ago, but we were too young for it then).

i have dual motivations here -- i want to share the book with the world, and i also want my grandfather, whose condition is deteriorating, to have a little more joy in his old age. i sent him the google analytics from the site today (he has an HP E-print in his house) and he almost cried. i will likely write more about the process of converting his book, both from a personal and a technical perspective, but i just wanted to get something out there sooner rather than later, and the kindle publishing will take a month or two as the OCR was not so great from the scan so we are retyping the novel.

when i read it, i found the writing to be timeless, and wanted to share it with a larger audience (it was popular in its heyday, and i believe it could be popular now). i am in the process of converting the book to kindle format, which is a nuisance because we have lost the original manuscript. as the first step, i scanned the book (1dollarscan FTW). my grandfather desires the book to reach a wider audience as well, so with his permission, i published the scan.
their key mission is to grow the value of the company, rather than do anything novel

I propose that this is the majority of startups and an even higher percentage of companies generally.

I even wrote about that distinction last week (https://medium.com/@andrewkemendo/startups-need-to-start-val...) and the response was basically: The only way anything should be evaluated is based on return.

Very few of us actually give a shit about doing something novel.
Fictional books are not trying to get people to buy anything.

Messages designed to induce guilt are not explaining benefits.

If your mind doesn't make these distinctions then yes, you may be a sociopath.
The killer app for eBooks is portability. I would not read nearly as many books if I had to read the paper version.
As far as I can tell, it was not inserted in code initializing a DES chip. It was shipped with the ROM monitor, and the DES chip, which would have been initialized by software (not boot ROM), was not even shipped.

The article is a little confusing but it looks like an email reply to multiple questions, the first one "Why this message" and the second one "Why the empty chip slot". (And the third one about a Sun-2 emulator, which also comes out of nowhere.)

Do you have a cellphone? Pretty sure you can already be tracked. Even if they are turned off.

Best bet is to go an old car with no electronics, and wired phone to your desk. Oh and avoid any roads that have cameras that can plate scan. May want to wear a mask when you go to the mall too, face scanning tech is getting pretty good.
The article happens to pattern match a current politically-charged argument in which opposition to some particular position is labeled as coming from fear, which is labeled a -phobia, which is therefore labeled as being irrational and whoever has it is mentally ill. Unsurprisingly, people rarely respond to this by saying "Oh, yes, you are correct, you have cogently shown me I am mentally ill, thank you so much for pointing this out!" and instead develop a rather hostile response to anything that even smells like the argument.

I actually somewhat carefully read the article to see if it ever suggested that fear in response to personal space violation was bad, and I don't think it did. I do think that it poorly supported its case, as a couple of other people are arguing, because just because certain activations look the same doesn't mean they are the same, but it never claimed this was a bad response.

Personally, based on how it feels from the inside, I can well believe that personal space is related to fear, and may activate some of the same circuits as fear, but that it "is" a fear is going beyond the evidence. Especially given the overloading of the word "fear". I am "afraid" of touching a hot oven, but I'm not running around in constant fear. It's a perfectly rational, controlled, situational "fear", not "a fear". Personal space violations strike me as rather more like the rational, controlled, situational case even if we are going to call that a "fear" response, which is perfectly fine scientifically, but serializes into conventional English poorly.
It's relatively slow in general. There is also likely a win by compiling the expression because reflect type is slower than reflect value and rt.Field(i) performs an allocation.
Not to worry anyone. I just checked and all my books are still here on my bookshelves.
>Wow. So tens of thousands of highly educated people in a cold climate country aren't a good enough indicator?

Educated people are the types of people that do a cost analysis taking into account tax incentives and choose the best value, even if cheap.

For example, Nissan Leafs are awful compared to other cars at the same sticker price and can hardly make it back and forth to work for a long commute. However, lots of people in the bay have them because:

* massive tax credits make it cheap

* it gets employees better parking at many offices

* free charging at many offices

* access to the HOV lane
France: President Francois Hollande seeks to extend state of emergency
hi syntheticnature,

thank you for taking the time to provide this feedback. i am sorry about the website. frontend is still kind of voodoo to me, even as a software engineer. i wanted my grandfather to be able to see his book on his nurse's ipad. i tried pdf.js but the version i selected seemed to not work with iOS devices for some reason. if you have a better idea for how to deliver the pdf to the ipad, i would welcome any suggestions.

The alternative simulation model would allow transactions to create wealth or destroy wealth.

Wealth is correlated with power but that power is not necessarily only directed against other rational actors but the environment and circumstance, too. So it makes sense to see power as an increasing or decreasing value overall with time.

100% power in 1500 A.D. is very different than 100% power now (if percentage of power makes sense at all considering how dependent it is on circumstance).

The other thing about power is that there are power singularities. If I can cause the death or pain of another as part of a transaction either actively (gun to the head) or passively (they will starve without the transaction taking place), that person will spend almost any amount of value to avoid that fate. This kind of exploitation should be taken into account.

Power does not always, or even most of the time, create opportunities for exploitation. If someone has some base level of power to avoid the singularities as described above they can have transactions with more powerful entities that are not exploitative at all but of mutual value gained benefit.

Hitting a perfect zero sum game is a very simplified case and only useful as a rough approximation because most transactions are merely /close/ to zero sum with some value add otherwise the market would rush in to narrow the gap.

So, a more interesting model would take both the creation and destruction of wealth into account as well as the opportunities for exploitation (since, while those are not the bulk of transactions, in today's world they are still incredibly common).

This would be more interesting because it would show 1) how various levels power changes over time beyond the relative measure and 2) how prone each group is to exploitation.

If certain conditions lead to the lowest tier group having increasing power over time and reduce their exploitation potential but lead to large increases in the gap of relative power, that would be a much better outcome than if they have less overall power and are in more exploitable conditions but their gap of relative power is smaller, for example.

Yes it looks like they have architected for low communication overhead and true parallelization when you have multiple GPUs. 1:4 gives 1:2 on Torch and Caffe, and 1:4 = 1:4 on CNTK.

No idea what the catch is :)
The logical conclusion of Black Sabbath would be something more akin to Church of Misery, I'd argue. They even verbatim lift the aesthetic, particularly in Master of Brutality and The Second Coming.
Think this is related to one of Edgar's blogs that was discussed yesterday:

In Angular separating logic and html works fine. The only type of component that should be dealing with html in the first place, are directives. Directives point to a piece of html to include, which can be either a string or a url. In the case of the url, the code is separate.

But more important is the separation between the directive and the rest of the code. The directive is specifically about the logic that's directly related to the view. That's not something you want to put too far away from the view.

And of course Angular's html is enriched html: by including directive, you can put databinding, and limited logic (generally about when you show that bit of html) directly into the html. Separating those would be frustrating and a bad idea. If your view is dynamic, that logic should be considered part of the view.

Except I can't find that book I read once, by that author, what was her name? It had a blue cover...
This struck me as odd:

“For my grandchildren, the idea that reading is something you do by yourself will seem arcane,” he says. “Why would you want to read by yourself if you can have access to the ideas of others you know and trust, or to the insights of people from all over the world?”

Though what's authored in a book might not be from anyone we know and trust (in itself not a "bad" thing) it's quite likely still a body of (possibly collective) insight already—perhaps even from someone(s) in less-local parts of the world.

Maybe I missed the point, but it felt like the quote was missing that a book is already a view into others' ideas and insights.

That said, even if printed books are to fall out of favor with the majority of literate people, it could still be a good idea to maintain physical libraries of works that many would find essential in the (perhaps unlikely) case that digital records fail or become inconvenient to access.
In cases like this, there is clearly a time limit, a very short time limit, where any information thus retrieved would be useful, and life saving. It is the officers' duty to use whatever means, within limits, to get the information out of the suspect. Also the evidence on scene is very strong, the suspect is in fact the perpetrator of said crime.

In case of terror suspects, quite a few have emerged innocent which is quite embarrassing in the first place, but understandable. Also, one should question the relevance of any information retrieved after long sustained periods of torture when surely facts on the ground have probably changed significantly.

Moreover this person, in the stanford thing, is a petty thief who is quite likely to fold under pressure since the crime has manageable consequences for him, and he doesn't possess training and motivation to withhold info at all costs. This trait wouldn't be present in case of some death cult, military, or even a serious gang member.

The point is, it isn't correct to make blanket statements like torture wouldn't work, ever. But the prevalence of incidences where some force might work shouldn't be used to justify comic levels torture demonstrated in the recent cases.

And finally, One might however see value in the dampening effect torture has on enemy morale. However, you can't play both sides, pretend to be a great champion of human rights and values and continue to come up with hilariously OTT torture routines. That is the problem US & Allies face regarding this whole torture debate/narrative. You have to own up to the uh assholery.
Books are all still in some cloud service somewhere. I can safely predict, the human race will never lose a book ever again. Barring an apocalypse.

And you can also have a fire at your house. Which is quite a bit more likely?
There are definitely many like you, but I think wanting a Range Rover negates that. It's a big beefy car with off-roading and powerful engine features that I doubt 90% of the owners use. Gas mileage is a cost of those features.
