Accidentally bringing a gun to an airport is symptomatic of a careless attitude to firearm ownership. It means that you're not absolutely certain of where your firearms are at any moment. Whilst this mindset may be socially and legally acceptable in many American states, it is a fundamental reason for the high rates of accidental shootings.

Here in the UK, a licensed firearm owner is strictly responsible for their firearms. Firearms may only be transported in a locked case, directly to and from their place of use. When kept at home, they must be stored in a police-approved safe. Accidentally bringing a firearm or ammunition to an airport would result in criminal charges and revocation of your license. Similar laws apply in most European countries.
>According to a statement from the U.S. Marshals Service, Aker repeatedly refused to show up in court after being contacted several times.

If some one called my home on the telephone and said "I'm a US Marshal, send money to pay for a 20 year old debt." or something to that effect, I'd probably interrupt the caller to tell them to put me on their Do Not Call list and then immediately hang up the phone before they ever got the chance to explain half of it. I've received much more creative attempts than that to scam me out of money over the telephone, and I'm sure that I'm not alone in that respect. I get calls from scammers all of the time, and in related news the IRS has recently warned people that scammers are calling and using that exact same pattern but pretending to be collecting an IRS debt instead of student loans. Therefore there is zero chance that I would take a telephone call like that seriously since there is zero way to authenticate the caller. We don't know whether other the marshals tried anything other than the telephone to contact Aker, but I've seen no comment from them to indicate that is the case. Assuming they've only contacted him by telephone then the proposition is that we must all obey anyone who calls us on the phone and claims to be a government agent.
Minimum Viable Test: The Framework We Use to Kill It with Our A/B Tests
I'm having issues with pictures not saving on an LG g3. It seems that pictures only get saved after its done processing (5s or so), and if one shuts off the screen before that it just forgets it. Such an odd big bug to exist in 2016.
So you leave the tablet at home? Do you keep your phone on you at home? (not criticizing, just curious).

For me it just meant one less thing to carry (you could see it as less getting rid of the tablet and more buying a tablet that does phone calls so that I don't have to carry a phone around). Public transport especially is where a 6-7" device is really handy, but I don't want to be carrying more than I can fit in my pockets.
And reliable wifi.
Had some personal experience in bending the rules (a very ugly experience) - and its better to follow the laws, even if the laws don't make sense.

In a B2B business especially, follow very closely and to the letter.

Well said. The size relations of inner organs for example vary betweeen people as far as i know. That is a big hint, althought it's not a proof in itself.

I want to add to that the nutritional needs within each person vary drastically during different times of year (or times of stress, even down to times of day). Athletes know this, for example, it is common to exhibit significant drops in performance during a year of training (recurring every year).

Now combine these simple observations with the way nutritional studies are done and you know why it looks as if we have no clue.

You started by asserting that the police budget need not increase when there's a property boom.

Perhaps the town of Starnberg is an instructive example. It's a small town in Germany which hasn't grown much in terms of population, but its property market has boomed, BOOMED, enough that the city's employees had problems. Rents increase, their salaries don't.

Last time I was there the local newspaper reported that for several years, the only police officer who worked there voluntarily was the chief. The force hadn't had a single application to any of its job postings for years, and all the old police officers had gotten better-paying work or moved to lower-rent towns. German police can be ordered to serve for a while, and the Starnberg city police force was composed of newly educated police officers who had been ordered there by the state, lived on 10m² while they had to, and who left Starnberg as soon as they were legally able to.

I understand the city council was trying to find some way to solve this. To pay the employees a sizable extra to compensate for the high cost of living. (Haven't followed the news there.) Anyway what employees said wasn't "I need another new car, so I need a new raise", they said instead "I need another new car, so I got a better-paying job, goodbye" or "I need another new car, so I'm moving, goodbye".
I'd be interested on Linux on Tegra X1, but only if it's a clamshell.
This is a very sensational title, and I'm sick of media companies exploiting:

1) the natural tendency for people to read "by X,XXX%" as "X,XXX times"

and

2) the fact that raising something from nearly 0 to anything that's not nearly zero will naturally be a large percentage increase, even if it is a small absolute increase

Guardian, here's a better, albeit, less apocalyptic and click-bait title:

Venezuela raised gasoline prices from nearly free ($0.02) to about 1/12th of what the rest of the world pays ($0.20), because government oil revenue is down.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe they were cheating on the broker license course, not the exam. It would be similar to skipping a class with an attendance policy because you already know the material.
It's funny that I can debug Go in the cloud while debugging Go on my local computer is near impossible.
I'm really interested as to how they inspect Python applications without slowing it down. I know the PyDev debugger adds significant overhead, which is due to it's use of stackframe inspection/function call hooks (as far as I know).

How can they put a breakpoint/inspect objects at arbitrary locations without this slowdown? Maybe they have a modified cPython interpreter?

Edit: lots of C code is the answer[1]

You need both a reproducible build environment and an environment that your IDE is tightly integrated with - at present IDE-VM integration isn't quite good enough for the same environment to act as both. The closer together those two environments are, the less common bugs that can't be reproduced in the dev environment will be, and such bugs are the hardest to deal with. (You still have to be capable of dealing with them - you'll get them even when running the same OS in both cases - but the lower the rate, the better).

All likely true but that's not what this is about. I think it is a concern that in many issues of public interest, some scientists are much too ready to adopt strongly polarized views and thereby operate with an aggressive agenda which precludes a cool appraisal of data which fails to reinforce their 'party line'.
This is the wrong takeaway.

The regulatory pushback that Uber and AirBnB have demonstrated has been in the public face.

The fraud that Zenefits is being accused of was not expected by the consumer. They offered themselves as an insurance broker where the agents were licensed insurance brokers. It turns out that isn't the case. That's probably considered fraud.

Autoland would definitely be preferable, a CAT III ILS would be ideal although you can still autoland off a CAT I beam. CAT IIIs tend to be limited to big airports due to cost and restrictions on the surrounding terrain and obstacles.

With autoland though, it's not just a simple button push. The aircraft needs to be descended around any terrain, navigated through any weather, and put into the landing configuration. If it'll be landing somewhere other than the planned destination, there's also a fair amount of reprogramming of the FMS.
Cupertino wants to tax employers like Apple an additional $1000/employee
Insurance is important.

Unlike many other consumer products you really don't have any idea what you're buying until after you've bought it. Making an incorrect or misled choice in health insurance is sufficient -- literally -- to completely ruin your life financially in a matter of hours, or cause unnecessary death via untreated illness.

If you want to claim that you can read a health insurance policy binder and understand it be my guest. I am a frequent writer and editor of technical literature and capable of writing code and I have a pilots license and I find health insurance policies almost incomprehensible.

We make sure that you don't get a bad haircut by requiring licenses for barbers. You can't fix my sink or chimney without licensing. We require licensing and testing to act on someone's behalf in the legal system, and in nearly all sales of securities, and of financial products, of which insurance is one mind you.

If Zenefits wanted to make an in-public argument that these rules are not necessary they were free to do so. I would have disagreed, and I'm sure others would have shared my opinion. Maybe they could have won the argument.

They didn't do that. They aren't righteous crusaders passionate about consumer choices and regulatory issues, they're opportunistic business people who broke the law and committed fraud instead of following the rules or working to change them.

I think the biggest plus of Reddit is its simplicity and minimalism with regards to content. For people for whom the written word is enough to understand and work with things, Reddit is an ideal platform. In case of the other platforms, the platform has to reach out to the user by including stuff like flashy animations, banners, embedded images, ajax, etc. which is always slow and unnecessary.

> "they sell things that are locked down, both physically and in software"

Well, I can understand the physically part, but fortunately you can solve it with money, you just have to pay for your hardware upfront, it is expensive, but I work on my MacBook Pro > 9hrs a day. It's four years old now and doesn't need replacement yet, it's doing fine, the battery is doing fine.

Most people only look at how much an item costs at the time of purchase, but a fairer comparison would include the span of time that your device is sufficient and you don't need replacement.

I use my laptop for my job, the amount of money I make with a laptop outweighs the cost of a laptop by far. Most professionals in their job invest in good material, why would it be different in IT?

As for the software part, the software that Apple provides is astonishing to me. For example wiping a HD multiple times is just a setting, in windows you can start looking for freeware for doing the same thing. It comes with so many possibilities out of the box, I can't think of anything that I would want to do that I can't do now.

Just yesterday I sat next to a guy running Ubuntu and I couldn't believe what I saw, when he tried to search his hard drive he typed in his search parameters.. but then the first thing that popped up were shopping items, faster than the items present on his hard drive... Really?!?

A MacBook pro isn't perfect and it is costly but it's simply the best option for me now.
The truth about idea stealing
Jared Diamond is the king of making money off of people's confirmation biases.
First many of those crime cartels could not exist without the banning of drugs, prostitution and gambling. The same goes for violent crimes in general. Large numbers of violent crimes are done by people involved in drug dealing or consuming. If drugs were legal you would not put so many people in these situations.

Falling crime rates is happing all over the first world. Most countries have know-where near the policy infrastructure that the US has. So thats probably not a very good expiation.

Nobody says that their is no real crime. In all the speech by the state its sounds as if we are getting rolled over by a totally new wave of terror and crime while in reality its the exact opposite. What bother so many is that they underline all their arguments with this false impression.

Unfortunately he didn't have a lot of time before the engines flamed out: At 11:49, flight attendant Andreas Prodromou entered the cockpit and sat down in the captain's seat, having remained conscious by using a portable oxygen supply. Prodromou held a UK Commercial Pilot License, but was not qualified to fly the Boeing 737. Crash investigators concluded that Prodromou's experience was insufficient for him to gain control of the aircraft under the circumstances. Prodromou waved at the F16s very briefly, but almost as soon as he entered the cockpit, the left engine flamed out due to fuel exhaustion, the plane left the holding pattern and started to descend. Ten minutes after the loss of power from the left engine, the right engine also flamed out, and just before 12:04 the aircraft crashed into hills near Grammatiko. There were no survivors.

Additionally, this decision by Google to jump into this game has now completely screwed a big project I was working on. How?

I work with retail data on behalf of large companies, and companies like Walmart and Target don't want any of the point of sale or inventory feeds they provide to their suppliers hosted on cloud infrastructure owned by a competitor. In the past, this meant absolutely no Amazon options for cloud infrastructure.

I was happily using Google Cloud. Now, thanks to this certainly ill-fated business decision to get into grocery delivery, I'm going to be forced to move my data to Azure.
