The funnies thing is the CPI (inflation index). The weight it assigns to housing/rent is about the same as the weight for "restaurants and hotels", and lower than "recreation and culture" and "transportation". While this might be true for the houseowners and for non-Londoners, for me rent represents about half (!) of my monthly expenditures. Renting "cheap" doesn't really help - even moving a few zones out of the center, rents would for 10-20% at most.

The thing is, the groups of people that have irreconcilable diferences on gun ownership are not the same as the groups of people that have irreconcilable differences on free speech. So now you're talking at least 4 separate countries, right? But worse yet, the people involved don't necessarily admit to themselves what their opinions on free speech are, so they wouldn't necessarily self-segregate properly...

Add to that that there is significant geographical intermixing, and the multistate solution to these problems starts to look like the ethnic situation in the Balkans has at some points: several states with totalitarianisms of some ideology (ethnicity in the case of the Balkans) but also a significant minority of dissenters who are supported by neighboring states. It's not really that happy a situation.

Camera's, like many complex to produce object, suffer badly from the effect of economy of scale. This way you end up paying far more for incremental improvements.

Think of the price curve in, say a 50mm prime from 1.8, to 1.4, to 1.2 (and beyond). You can end up with 10x the cost, not because you are getting something objectively 10x better, but because relatively few are made. If the extra couple of stops really buy you something, or you love the optics, and you can pay the 10x, maybe you will (build quality is in there somewhere).

Not only are special characters useful but some shells went to the other extreme. In the early days of the Mac, the system’s default keybindings made it so easy to type “weird” characters that the MPW Shell had many more special characters than shells on other platforms at the time, leading to creative uses of ƒ and ∂, etc.

Now that Unicode support is becoming more common, perhaps some bold shells will bravely adopt new special characters.

> How would you reconcile the differences between the Western world and fundamentalist Islam regarding the rights of women?

Your comment reads like you disagree and are raising a counter-example, but the existence of a difference doesn't make that difference irreconcilable.

> Should we "admit" that our perspective... is possibly wrong?

Fundamentalist Islam in the 20th & 21st century seems (as far as I've read) to be largely a reaction against Western powers interference, or to use a tired term 'imperialism', with the natural evolution of Middle East nations... toppling democracies, installing dictators, etc.

To get away from the influences of perceivedly 'evil' Western interference fundamentalists took Islam all the way back to the 7th century. In that context it's hard to see how a Westerner arguing that their views on women are "wrong" is going to bother them much; the opposite perhaps. You're arguing against the narrative.

Should we admit that we're wrong about feminism? No, I think that'd be both dishonest and counter-productive. Should we admit that we have been wrong in the past about other important things? Maybe, perhaps that'd help undermine the imperialism narrative.
Florida has no income tax. It has a higher sales tax to compensate (and other tourist-related taxes, such as on hotels and rental cars). Our property taxes are very, very low compared to other states though.

You're correct in that you receive an exemption if the property is your primary residence, but you overstate the burden of property taxes on >$1MM residences (its really not that high).

People purchase a high dollar value home in Florida because there is no limit to the value protected from creditors (except notes tied to the house) in the event you're sued or declare bankruptcy (1/2 acre of land or less within a municipality, 160 acres if you're in an unincorporated area).

Here in Asia Leica is sold in high end fashion malls, not in the photography equipment or electronics area of town. In fact in Japan there's a Leica counter in the men's fashion accessories area of Mitsukoshi Mens in Ginza. In Hong Kong there's one in Harbour City, a high end fashion mall. In Singapore there's one in ION Orchard, another fashion mall. Where as if you want any other brand of camera in all those cities you go to the electronics area of town. Akihabara or Shinjuku's Yodobashi Camera in Japan, Mong Kok in HK, Sim Lim or Funan Digitallife Mall in SG

In other words, Leica themselves are positioning their cameras as fashion accessories. Something to show you have $$$$$$
Israel is neither involved in half the problems of world nor is it the cause of most the problems with which it is involved.

Look at all the problems of the world. The vast majority have nothing to do with Israel. This holds by a count of problems as well as by weighting by magnitude or people affected. (Certainly it is featured in the media more often than other conflicts.)

As for the problems with which Israel is involved, I don't want to start a political discussion, but I must dispute wott's assertion and say it is more a target of violence than an instigator.

99% of shell scripts are just executables that have a shebang line at the top.

How is this related to CVE-2015-0235 (the GHOST vulnerability last year)?
Not just thermal reasons! For instance, keeping caches coherent across so many cores is a great challenge. That's what Intel was experimenting with on Knights Corner - and many think they screwed it up quite a bit - with the ring bus + L2 implementation. However, they did learn a lot and a very similar ring bus based cache coherence implementation works quite well on Xeons for up to 18C - although it's worth noting that for >8C there are actually two rings -, and it should work pretty well on "regular" Xeons for at least a couple of more generations. However, not unexpectedly, KNL is switching to a 2D mesh (see http://goo.gl/SE8pZV).
The article reads like the author has a personal hatred against Uber, it makes it hard for me to accept his opinions.

Would have been better if he took a more objective look at Uber's redesign instead of taking the time to bash the CEO or the designers.
All of this to get around the GPL. Boo!

That's a list of members of Khronos. Apple is there because of OpenGL. It doesn't say anything about Apple being involved in the Vulkan effort.
28mm isn't really so wide on a full frame. In some ways it is more natural than 50mm, in that it frames more like we see with two eyes side by side (50 is closer to the projection we see though) without much in the way of distortion. Once you get used to the frame, you would't need to crop all the time, but I guess it saves you some foot zooming.

You can use a nuke in multiple ways.

As a deflector (launched years or decades from impact), you can nudge the impactor out of its present orbit by gently ablating one side from a distance; You can do this iteratively until the impactor's orbit changes enough to miss Earth.

Decades is sufficient for some of the continuous-thrust alternatives, though, depending on scale.

As a point defence weapon (launched weeks or months from impact), you can send the nuke in as close as possible and detonate in order to break up the body. Yes, this would cause lots of smaller impactors, but over some size ranges it's preferable because ablation is insufficient. If 99% of the smaller impactors miss Earth, we win... in some cases.

Just breaking up a large impactor (at the very last minute, launched minutes or hours before impact) doesn't help so much if everything still hits Earth, because a planet-killer turns into hundreds of city-killers randomly spread out.

On the other hand, a small impactor could be dramatically affected by a nuke, with plausible amounts of vaporization going on. There's quite a lot of risk surface in small impactors, and they would be hard to spot until very close.

---

Bong Wie is working through a NIAC grant on the problem:

http://www.spacesafetymagazine.com/space-hazards/asteroid-hi...

One interim observation: a nuke which detaches from a small cratering round which hits first, digging a hole for the nuke to fit in, would multiply its effectiveness severalfold.

It's a very different problem in each different size class of impactor (as well as orbital classes). 10m, 100m, 1000m, 10000m are all of concern in unique ways; each order of magnitude increase in diameter raises mass by three orders of magnitude.
That relation is equivalent to conservation of mass, and wouldn't account for any energy losses. As the asteroid is fragmented, its total cross section rises, increasing energy deposition in the atmosphere, reducing available energy for ejecta.

WRT to arms-control regimes: What's the difference between an asteroid-killing BM and an ICBM? Only the warhead count. START inspectors would count such a launcher toward the cap.
Well, of course.

Humans have a tendency to either agree wholeheartedly with what they're famikiar with (or what their parents did), or completely avoid it. For instance, if your dad was a staunch Libertarian Capitalist, you'd probably be inclined to jump immediately to either Libertarianism or its opposite, Socialism. This is usually done without thinking about it, so you may wanna sit down and consider your own views.

Further, most millenials grew up in a "Capitalism" that's kind of terrible. A lot of the problems associated aith "Capitalism" are really problems of oligarchy.

Well one issue that has been pointed out by people who work in this area is the program Help to Buy. Many have claimed that this artificially raised prices of homes because of the guarantees and money built in the system.

The solution as with Vancouver is to ease the cost of building new homes and possibly using targeted property tax relief of those you are seeking to encourage into home ownership.

One other issue is apparently you can actually get a discount on taxation on your other homes if they are furnished because there seems to be some relation to the number of days it is occupied; unless I am just reading that wrong. If so this one area that needs adjusting, reducing tax because you don't actually spend time in the home but it otherwise is unavailable to others should not incur a benefit and if anything encourages buying up second and third homes
Its definitely sarcasm, you cant trademark a square.
Well, for me Apple is nothing about status nor perceived value. I'm just much more productive using their laptops than others. Cover it in black paint, same result. And once you are looking for high-end laptops, the margin is not such a big thing, really.

I live in Aberdeen, and you can definitely add Aberdeen and the surrouding -shire to that list. With the ongoing and very deep cutbacks happening in the oil industry, the prices have stabilised a little, but don't appear to have dropped any.

From speaking with friends and acquaintances with whom I went to Uni, it appears there's a pretty predictable pattern to housing costs: anywhere there's reasonably plentiful work, prices are very high. It's cheap to live in Stoke-on-Trent or Ayr, but good luck getting a job that pays much more than minimum, if you can find even that.

Fwiw, all it takes is an annual fee to be on that list which is insignificantly small for someone like Apple. That's by no means an indication that Apple is a supporter in any meaningful way. They have said nothing about Vulkan in public at any point.
Why will taxing them mean they make more money? And also why is that a problem? Even if it doesn't improve the housing situation it makes sense to maximise tax income from rich foreign investors.

Those two things are flatly equivalent, because short term loans do not work without high interest rates to both make the loans even a little profitable and to offset the absurd risk.

High interest rates are not automatically abusive just because you'd like them to be.
While this makes sense on a few levels, I'm not sure I want to go in and let's say I need to take out $2000 in cash for a craigslist purchase. Instead of simply getting 20 $100 bills, I end up with gulp 100 $20 bills.

Extrapolate this to a place like Vegas that virtually runs on cash. Can you imagine someone winning a big jackpot and have to take 6 or 7 suitcases of money simply because they have to be paid out in $20's instead of $100's?

Good in theory, not much so in practicality.
Ah, yes, I'm getting stung by this despite my case not being a target one.

Our house is not selling quickly (it needs "neutralizing" and showing as empty, not packed with a family in it) but we have grossly outgrown it. Luckily we can afford two mortgages so are buying the house we want and doing up the "old" one to sell. So because it's "expanding our portfolio", we'll get to pay the extra tax (some £10K+) although supposedly we can reclaim it if we sell within 18 months. So it's annoying but TBH at this rate I just want to move so que sera.. :-) For people on tight budgets, it's going to kill a lot of options though.
