And like the House judiciary committee said, "Oh yeah? Well we just voted on three articles of impeachment against you."

Americans are starting to get rather pissed off at the increasingly obvious double-standard that exists when government employees are suspected of crimes, particularly violent crimes by those charged with keeping the peace, and corruption and fraud by those granted positions of trust and authority.

And this is all mostly due to ubiquitous smartphone cameras. In this light, universal surveillance is barely acceptable, just so long as we get to watch them as thoroughly and easily as they watch us. So far, this condition has not been met.
The monopoly on power that the sovereign grants to the executive branch is still meant to be within the limits of that grant. This is obviously not the case anymore. The sovereign has lost oversight over the executive branch's actions. Effectively, governments and their organizations have become states within states, with no accountability anymore. That's where state theory completely implodes, as there aren't meant to be any "we're doing secret stuff with no oversight, you have to trust us we're not doing anything illegal" situations.
I'm the last person to ignore or undervalue the power of propaganda, yet I believe it is necessary for people to be active citizens who think for themselves. By outsourcing our entire political thought process to representatives (who are more in need of wealthy donors than individual voters) we deny ourselves the chance to think for ourselves.

Besides, even Edward Bernays, the founder of public relations, understood the ambiguous relationship between those who craft public perception, and those who are affected by it.
If it happens as you describe, then it is definitely kidnapping.

They address this in the article, saying that "Because of the protective capsule, which is flattish and smaller than a business card, if something goes awry, the capsule can be removed immediately to prevent patient harm."
You're making the significant assumption that the original part is either still available, or was ever available for individual sale (often, batteries that aren't considered user-replaceable are never sold directly.)

Apple systems are generally better off in this regard as vendors like iFixit can make official batteries available for older systems, but for other vendors, no such luck. For example: I can't find any source for an official Lenovo battery for my first-gen X1 Carbon. It's also long since out of warranty.

There is still the time consideration, but assuming you have time available to do the work, why not?
Two things come to mind,

Many people are glad some things were exposed like the scope of data gathering, what many dislike is disclosing of state secrets that went along with the mostly uncurated dumps. Expose government overreach good; expose state secrets bad.

Two, the armed occupation/protest in places like Oregon has a lot more to do with disagreement over government control over grazing lands, and other natural resources many locals believe should be locally devolved, typically to enable more liberal exploitation of the resources [to the chagrin of the environmentally minded, but these are typically areas with poor economies] So these issues are completely disconnected.
He's not saying "I would never pay for a text editor, that's ridiculous!", he's saying $70 is just a little steep for a text editor. What exactly is it offering that makes it worth $70 vs something more reasonable?

Panic's Coda is priced similarly, but it also offers a lot of web-dev targeted features that other editors either don't provide or only provide less user-friendly plugins for

When you strip out plugins made by someone who isn't getting a cut of that $70, what are the tangible features Sublime has over the glut of free editors out there?
Yeah I still have all 2, I just need an email.
The gun debate never uses rational language on either side. For or against regulation, you hate America.

If you believe, as I do, the 2A is rooted in codifying the ability to take up arms against an oppressive (gun-restricting) government, as had just been done a few years prior, you're out of touch. If you believe in gun ownership for protection, you're going to accidentally shoot your child. If you believe all guns are bad, you're point of view is to be enforced at the business-end of a government-owned gun.

It's all madness. Try not to form a view of the argument from Reddit.
One thing that jumped out to me, and I haven't worked with Rust FFI enough to know this answer. Is the C library necessary? Since Rust is exporting the C interfaces directly, couldn't Matlab link directly against that?
Or being an "isolationist".

The media is not controlled by the FCC in the way you imply. There is no evidence of it and to suggest it is ridiculous. It's accurate to say it's controlled by corporations, who have their own reasons that do seemingly align very well the status quo of current politicians, but that's not to say the news media is in any way coerced. There are plenty of simple, rational reasons why this would be the case.

The reason you see the same lines from channel to channel is because these news outlets buy their stories. They are pre-written and arranged and often include video footage. They do this because original reporting is expensive and it's silly for a hundred reporters to cover the same unimportant subject when a single person can do it and sell it to others. Everyone wins, but it does result in many places not altering the script very much to make it more original. To suggest this is a government plot is silly. Again there is no evidence of this.
After COINTELPRO law enforcement as a whole in both the US and other countries moved to a subversion model as opposed to an adversarial model. This is why the FBI or local police have infiltrators or paid informants in virtually every activist group in the US, regardless of whether or not those groups are actually affiliated with terrorism -- if they ever start leaning that way, LEA will step in and disrupt it from the inside.

The way this works out in practice is that every agent sees an opportunity to advance their career by manufacturing threats. So they have their infiltrator agent or their informants stir the pot, see who's "really down for the cause," get as deeply embedded with the group as they can (going so far as to have children with members in some occasions), and gradually shift the group towards extremism, or if the group won't go along with it, whoever they can splinter off and radicalize.

Once this person has incriminated themselves enough, they get arrested and charged with terrorism.

I'm not going to cite any sources because you could easily find reasons to dismiss them. Certainly, I don't know of any listing of all arrests for terrorists accompanied by all the case details, so I'll certainly never be able to provide quantitative evidence of this very real trend. Also, I think that looking all of this up and finding it out piece by piece will be valuable for you -- it's very easy to dismiss a fully formed theory such as this comment, but it's more difficult to dismiss all the little pieces of evidence you build up over time. Maybe keep a document with all the incidences you find, to prevent yourself from dismissing every single one of them as "only about one case -- not a trend" and by induction, determining there is no issue.
I also thought this was super weird. I kept thinking the author was going to get around to it, but then it just... ended.

As I explained in a commentary:
As far as I understand gcc implementation. In a pseudo-code it would be:

Mutex mutexes[SIZE_OF_POOL];

int hash(void* p)
{
...
}

std::shared_ptr<t> atomic_load( const std::shared_ptr<t>* p )

{

int r = hash(p);

lock(mutextes[r % SIZE_OF_POOL]);
return *p; // Safe copy of p.

}

All the other atomic operations (store, etc) use the same lock pool, so it should be fine for the copy!
If you want to take a look at gcc's implementation:

I thought it was way more expensive. The European website says 12e/month. I see a lot of people who could benefit from just one month of use and 10 bucks is nothing. Although it works in the case that person already knows the software. Now I wonder how much learning material they sold since the subscription model is on.

Yes. In theory there is a programming paradigm which fixes this, called "aspect oriented programming." I haven't seen a really accessible aspect-oriented system however.

npm because it's now the de facto package manager for javascript.

And why a package manager? For many reasons, the most useful ones are :

- ease of install

- you can declare dependencies for your plugin instead of having the end user go to X differents pages to download everything needed

- the most important one : you don't have to check all your packages for important updates like security ones
Hacking the Worcester Wave Wifi Thermostat in Python
I'm from one of such Himalayan villages, though I only seldom go back there now.

One important aspect to consider here is people don't necessarily think of it as illegal or a drug. There isn't really 'police' enforcing anything for the local. The local police station has like 1-2 people who pretty much just hang out and are friends with the locals.

Everyone in the village knows each other (sort of) and it is only the adult (males) that will have access to and make it. Teens and children don't really do it because someone or the other will find out and then they are in trouble, so the system corrects itself pretty quickly. I've never heard of a single case ever of overdose or anything like, though it has ruined the productivity and general health of a very large number of people.
OP here, thanks for the feedback! And that's a really interesting tip about the stereo line-in. That's given me an idea about maybe trying to display some Lissajous figures on the oscilloscope.

In my experience, calling bullshit is almost always about saying the person is wrong, not lying. Maybe carried away by braggadocio, but not outright lying.

You say it's questioning the single authoritative root source of information. I say there is no authoritative root source of this information. People's memories are bad, even about their own lives, and when they say something improbable about their own lives, it's not an implicit accusation of lying if you say you think they're wrong.

Automated delivery would be perfect within a city. Coast-to-coast suits planes. Distances of 50-300 miles with high-volume commercial package traffic could easily benefit from something more like a subway than an airport experience, that doesn't bring the energy requirements of raising a 75-ton object tens of thousands of feet in minutes, or require an hour-long wait before it starts to move.

You said "cargo doesn't care how fast it gets to the destination". Well, some cargo does. You also said the cargo system is larger than the passenger system. Well, that just means there's obviously demand and maybe Musk should have put that in his white paper.

You're sure it'll never happen, I'm suggesting it might. Not that it will, just that you're a bit too confident in your position, considering it's a bet against out ability to innovate around problems.
Interesting, it might have to do with some kind of likelihood of fraud occurring at a particular location score for the service station. So stations in areas where more stolen CC fraud occurs, these stops are in check.
Yeah, you would think so. However, it really is a current teaching of the Catholic church.

>> something so "easy" like putting solar panels on the side of the roadway?

I'm not even sure that's the correct goal.In the end Global warming , is , well, Global. So they key to solving it is making clean energy the default choice for the china, india, etc.

Is buying more solar panels helpful - sure it does help reduce the costs of solar panel manufacturing/installation. But is it one of the best places to invest, if the EU/france want to help ? i'm not sure - because there may be over investment in that area - since it's already economically viable on a large scale.

I wonder though, maybe there are areas of under investment with lots of potential ?
> People living in crowded cities think there is some sort of shortage of space.

Too true. When I spent some time in an urban technology research lab, the researchers and students gravitated strongly toward projects described as "a little tiny $X that you can carry with you." Their focuses narrowed from stage performances to screen-based art. In the Indra's web of city life, the wide, open space of rural areas was not only forgotten, but incomprehensible and unavailable as a resource for deployment.

Just as a counter datapoint, my experience in Ethiopia was very different. I was sometimes three hours from the nearest paved road and yet I would have full cellular signal, and often even 2G or 3G connectivity.

I had no issues browsing the web, using my VPN, or doing anything else. I was with a group of about 40 people, and we had about 10 or 15 local Ethiopians in our group. None would be considered privileged or rich, and they also all had regular Internet access either on their phones or at Internet cafes. Their nearest real city was Mekele up in the North. Almost all of them folks in our group had Facebook.

Even at the top of the Gheralta mountains we had strong signal. It was actually mind-blowing how much cellular coverage we had in the country.

Hi, I'm also an engineer on the Dataflow team.
This is a very exciting project! However it is still constrained by Spark's limitations outlined in this post in terms of what Dataflow pipelines it can run. For example, currently it doesn't support session windows, it windows based on processing time instead of event time, and it doesn't seem to support triggers (the word "trigger" doesn't appear in the code base). AFAIK Spark has plans to add support for event time, and then it will be possible to make this runner run more pipelines consistently with the semantics of the Dataflow model. It is also likely that the capabilities of this runner will expand greatly as https://wiki.apache.org/incubator/BeamProposal progresses.

Although they are a fantastic company (often seen as the Google of South Africa in terms of work conditions), calling them a "gaming" company (as they do themselves) is perhaps not as accurate as calling them a "gambling games" company. Since that is what they do - gambling software.

It's generally good to have a barber that knows how to cut hair and can shave you with a razor without injuring you. Those aren't things that can be done by an unskilled person.

Furthermore, it would suck to find out your barber can't hack it by getting a bad haircut from them.

I presume we all should accept that majority of population has sometimes the urge to let a bit of steam off (or just get wasted), and rather than fighting the flow, those in power should steer it to as-little-harm-as-possible-to-society scenarios.
This happened to me many times as a teenager.

If you have never met someone, the problem is that we many times only show one side of ourselves through text only...and often times, it's different than reality.

We would meet up after weeks or months of email/texting and the person would be completely different in terms of the fantasy portrayed online.

After this happened a few times, I had a rule of meeting the other person within 2 weeks or move on.
Agreed, this just seemed like a bird's eye view of things. I've read accounts elsewhere that included recollections of actual conversations, including the words and tone that were used. That to me is more relevant as it provides context for what it was actually like.
Moore's Law isn't over. You are asking us to believe the recent past means that we will not get more single cpu performance increases over the next 10-20 years.

And you're saying that a 20%-30% (6x-13x) improvement over then next 10 years won't make a big difference? If Atom was 10x faster, would it be more useable?

As for concurrency not being applicable, that might be true for some tasks but I can easily imagine scenarios where is would help greatly. Multiple buffers and files. Replace and search for example. Indexing, concurrent garbage collectors, ...

So, in your scenario, if cpu's only become 10x faster and we get 60 CPUs, we won't be able to make a better editor?

Software too. Mac OS X (and later, iOS) is a direct continuation of NeXT's NeXTSTEP and OPENSTEP OSes. Objective-C came to Apple from NeXT. All the Cocoa APIs used on the Mac come from NeXT, and the UIKit APIs used for iOS development are a direct descendant of them. The modern Apple contains very little of pre-1996 Apple but lots of pre-1996 NeXT.

Your test seems like a good one too, but federal domestic law enforcement would need to be included as well. Organized police would flip their bacon, but getting rid of that power asymmetry is kind of the entire point. It could devolve into police using only bureaucracy-approved expensive weapons or network DRM, so it would have to be by general weapon class and we'd need non-corrupt courts for actual implementation.

Ultimately I don't think such "debates" come down to much besides showing how out of hand the government has gotten, through both attrition and precession. The Bill of Rights should be viewed more as a bunch of (failing) test cases than something with hypothetical legal force.
It would also require generating the Matlab bindings for Rust, but more problematically it seems to use a special compiler/linker (`mex`). I don't know if that does genuine work of if it's just a wrapper/synchronizer around compilers and linkers which you could do without.
