I downvoted you because you're simply wrong with a couple of those countries, for example in Hong Kong there's a plenty of drug users. The statistics just aren't reported like they are in some western countries.

Singapore only executes drug dealers, producers and traffickers. This hasn't really had a significant effect on drug availability, and it still remains a major transit point for drug trafficking in Asia.

Indonesia? Drugs everywhere.
Ha, and he was quoting himself. Why not just say it. I felt like I was switching back and forth between an alternate reality.
Right; I'm not saying that using mobile check deposit is the easiest possible method for this (it definitely is not), but it is the easiest method that my major US bank supports.
Truthfully, my knowledge is second hand. I haven't spent a ton of time with it, my coworker is the one who had issues learning it. I've spent a little time with it, and haven't had the same issues he ran into.

I think the issue comes from the learning curve between jQuery and Mithril. Coming to Mithril from React I'd imagine would be relatively easy, where coming to it from JS spaghetti would be rough due to the lack of adoption and step-by-step tutorials that exist compared to React.
My bad, I was x2 the height resolution as well, but you are right: 1080 x 1200 x 2 = 2,592,000 pixels < 2560 x 1440 = 3,584,000 pixels
He didn't mean it would be simple to implement. He meant the reasons for why Slack should include it are so numerous that it is easy and "simple" to make a case that Slack should implement it right away.

Yeah, Japan doesn't have sick days at all, they are called, literally, holidays!
Yeah, for evidence of the impact culture has, look at alcohol. In almost all countries it is treated similarly: after 16-18 years old, drinking is legal. Yet there are vast differences in addiction rates and per-capita consumption.
Hey, I'd move to Copenhagen in a heartbeat if you could sponsor whatever credentials I'd need to work there and help arrange for a place to live.
The comment is blamed for being sexist because

"It's often hard for men to understand the societal pressure placed on women"

as this is making wide sweeping assumptions about men behaviour based on the world view of the poster not because of pointing out gender bias.
This is actually a very interesting aspect of the dangerous results of having lots of laws and bans. It is like companies which makes long lists of things which can get you fired. List which are such that everybody has done a fireable offense. This allows companies to fire people at their own discretion because they will always have something on you.

Likewise the corruption laws in developing countries seem to largely be about getting rid of political opponents. Everybody is basically guilty of corruption, but only those who are on the wrong side politically actually get prosecuted. Look at Russia, if you cross Putin they can charge you with corruption right away because they no almost everybody has done it.

In this regard laws which masquerade as fighting undesirable things in society really becomes a tool of oppression.
To be fair, even the best IoT devices are pretty terrible. I'm very pro "computerization of everything", and hate most things marked as IoT.
> The drug prohibition is a direct effect of the lift of alcohol prohibition: officials and LE officers needed something to do after there was no more alcohol smuggling to go after, so a new target was invented.

That's a ridiculous proposition. There was a 40+ year gap between the two.

> The public has been whipped up into a frenzy about drugs for years using various fear tactics

Nixon coined the term "drug war" in 1971. Ever since then, public support for legalizing marijuana has been steadily growing: http://www.gallup.com/poll/1657/illegal-drugs.aspx. I don't think that jives with your theory of causation.

I see what you're saying, but I think we disagree on WHY it's a non-question. One person can't lay claim to all private property through voluntary exchange. What was he exchanging for "all" the property?

My point is that the free exchange of goods (property, services, etc...) in conjunction with a strong adherence to private property rights is the least problematic method of allocating "property". It's the least problematic in terms of making sure "property" or resources are used for their most "effective" use as well as the least problematic in terms of maximum liberty for the individual (and therefore the collective).
> Do people really have that much faith that Candy Crush and the like is more than a generation's flash in the pan like Tetris, Pogs, or Tamagotchis?

No, but people have faith (quite often irrationally so) in their own ability to time the market, and be able to exit at the right time.
I'm not sure if you know how electric kettles work, but the heating element is always right under or even in the water. Most kettles are also insulated quite well, there's not a lot of energy lost.
Exactly! Ran into same issue taking a long time trying to parse the output of everything. If tracking and storing everything doesn't add significant cost, I'd do just that but come analysis, I'd only limit it to a few unless there's something that you need to dig deep when problems arise.
The simpler tools definitely encourage adoption. On a larger project I work on, we use Rally - most abominable platform I've had the displeasure of using - solely because the project manager is able to assign "points" to user stories, which translate to hours of work per story. Hence, when a dev is at x number of points, s/he's at y% capacity for that sprint. We tried Jira but without being able to assign capacity, ruled it out. I've heard good things about Basecamp...
But I think the boom/bust cycle is exaggerated with these kind of "casual" games. There are diehard Nintendo or Sega fans; who anxiously awaits the next release from Zynga? What percentage of players even know or care that Zynga made the game they're playing?

Lots of plants that have medicinal effects are immediately dangerous, especially compared to what ends up being a poor diet choice that takes a while to have much of any effect.

"Medicinal" partly implies that a small amount of the substance will have an impact on the body, and there are many substances in plants where the dose does matter.

In windows, try snipping tool. Comes stock with 7 and up, lets you select a window, or a rectangular area, or even a free form "draw a circle around what you want" mode.

Go channels are bad
To your reasons, I'd add financial interests of those involved in the WoD. Think of pre-trial asset confiscation, WoD-based grants to local law enforcement, $ to aerospace companies for WoD surveillance and detection technology, etc.

Legalization would hit many powerful interests in their revenue streams.
Agreed. EA is just killing it with sports despite it being essentially the same game over and over again.

It's such a tough business given that you need to invest in building a full game before you really know if it's going to be a hit. You could put out concept art, etc. but I'd argue that you can't really do "private betas" like what we do with SAAS just yet.

Do your web application development services provide easy data integration?
Most of these home automation solutions seem like a step backwards. Manually flipping a switch is fast and usually convenient. Pulling out my phone, unlocking it, toggling a widget or god forbid launching an app waiting for it to connect and send its command sucks. I looked into getting a Clapper as a happy compromise. It turns out they didn't care about safety either. Clappers had a tendency to start fires.

It would be great if that were how it was taught, but when I took the class it was taught as a trick. No theory behind it, just the prof on the board saying, "But look! :swap: And now you can integrate it."
You're right, I really shouldn't have such evocative language.
I think in EA's case what you see is the power of unique licenses. People who buy football games want to play as their favorite real-life players and so 1) in practical terms nobody but EA can make football games 2) even if relatively little changes many people will buy just for roster updates.
SEC Awards Whistleblower More Than $700,000 for Detailed Analysis
Too soon to tell yet in my case, but I've been pleasantly surprised by the rapid rate of improvements, so I'd say probably yes.

Skype and Hangouts are still a little better in terms of quality and overall experience, but a standard WebRTC app is definitely "good enough", and with some tweaking, it can be great (see Appear.in).

And WebRTC brings some very important advantages over Skype, Hangouts, etc (mainly reduced friction, not having to login, better embeddability, and overall control of the experience)

I've yet to test the new VP9 codec, which should bring huge gains. And there are other tools being added to the ecosystem which will enable lots of neat use cases.
What did you end up finding?

I was given advice when shopping for a new screen to find the highest model range, as in the highest leading numbers, and then get the lowest number within that range as that usually trims out the "features". However, looking at LG's range of OLEDs, everything comes with "features", even the lowest model in the highest model range.
Only problem is that just like the other game "money-grab" cough king cough companies, all their successful games are just copies of other less know successful games. So the problem is they don't know how to make a game, just how to copy a game.
10 Local SEO Tips to Help Your Business Thrive
Giving you the impression of a very large high-res monitor with VR goggles is quite a challenge, you'd need the displays in the headset to be significantly more pixel-dense than they are (remember that while "retina" quality displays are quite mainstream VR requires them to be very small and light and the black gap between (sub)pixels to be as thin as possible to avoid the screen door effect).

Thanks! :)

shouldn't we step back and question this Promethean effort? is feasible to stop technological progress is a separate question.

The only way to stop it would be to classify GPUs as weapons of mass destruction. But, that's a non-starter because all our fabs aren't US based, so if we restricted domestic GPU usage, then fer'ners would just use them all and create god forms in their own image.

Isn't it amusing how when people think "friendly AI," the "AI" always seems to have the motivations and personality of a 25 year old startup scene white guy living in San Francisco? What if the AI is made by a fanatic in a marginalized country? That's the "friendly-vs-not-friendly" dichotomy, but there's no way to force one way or the other (without restricting hardware access).

Over all, global capitalism doesn't really allow for holding anything back for the sake of "a better world." We stand on the broken backs of others so we, ourselves, can rise taller, thereby proving we are better than the unwashed masses. We are special individuals because we have the vision, audacity, power, to exploit the rest of the world en masse. Tremble before our bank accounts, mansions, and political connections.

then shouldn't he or she do everything they can to stop it?

Thought experiment: what if "what comes next" is better than humanity? Industrial-scale human civilization so far hasn't been great for other life on this planet.

What if "regular" apes had the forethought to kill the antecedent human mutated apes because it would eventually be bad for the planet? Would restricting advancement have been a better plan than letting new intelligence be birthed, even if it destroyed all the old ways?

The question ends up being: do we commence a Butlerian Jihad or do we admit we are imperfect meat machines and, perhaps, tens of billions of meat forms aren't ideal citizens of anything given a long enough time horizon?
This is a software problem at its root. It seems software of all kinds is struggling to keep up with the exponential gains in hardware. CPUs are cheaper and smaller with more cores than ever before. But there is no Moore's law of software engineering. Software quality is a more abstract metric than number of transistors on a die.
This is covered by herge's parent comment. Deploy code that can work with either the old or new DB structure before you perform the migration.
And yet there are lots of European countries with low crime rates and liberal drug laws and low usage. That is the point. There is no clear correlation here.

But these asian countries and the european ones do have a number of things in common which is different from the US. Neither has poverty problems on the scale found in the US. Neither have racial conflict at the level found in the US.

And how comparable is really Singapore? It is a single city, tightly controlled with 3x the police force of a regular western country, where they practice DDR like surveillance in the sense that citizens are taught to report each other for all sorts of minor transgressions.

The US is a lot more similar to Europe so if one was ever too look at alternative policies I think looking at European experiences makes a lot more sense for the US than looking at Asian countries which are vastly different historically, culturally and in what political system they currently employ.
I'm sure that thought comforts the descendants of our common ancestors as we turn their habitat into farm or industrial land and slowly drive them to extinction.

Indeed. I was just now commenting on another thread about how smart homes are shit. The problem is that smart homes work, just not if you can't afford custom professional installation and maintenance. J. Random Blogger can't afford a smart home that works, can't afford to upgrade it, and hasn't got the right use cases, like a large home with a security system, telephone/intercom system, media room, multi-car garage, pool, etc.
The 7 Best JavaScript Posts and Resources of the Past Week
I've been daydreaming of an automatic dish cabinet that takes in dirty dishes individually into a queue, cleans them, and places them in a cabinet such that a human could open it and pull out a dish by hand. It'd come with a specific set of dishes that had dedicated spots in the cabinet, and the washer section would have an individualized routine for each dish type to reduce water waste and ensure all surfaces are cleaned. I foresee commercial uses first, as it's size and shape would probably require a change in how kitchens are laid out in most homes.

You're ignoring a morally significant dimension to the problem. Nobody becomes a drug addict by accident. They choose to do drugs and take the risk not just of bodily harm, but of becoming unable to support their families and becoming a burden on society. And your suggestion is that society should spend money to treat them of an illness that was their fault to begin with.

I happen to agree with you that treatment, not prosecution is the answer for drug addicts. But there's legitimate moral reasons to oppose the idea.

Besides that, drug use is already well on its way to becoming decriminalized. The drug war is aimed not at users, but mainly at importers and purveyors. That poses another moral question: if drugs are harmful and addictive, why can't society ban people from selling them, like it does for all sorts of other harmful products? I understand the cost-benefit justification (bans are ineffective), but voters aren't driven by cost-benefit analysis. There are legitimate moral reasons to oppose the idea that we should just let people defy society and sell harmful products just because we can't effectively prevent them from doing so.

I have an order of magnitude fewer docs that you; I can't imagine hand organizing that many!

If you weren't previously familiar with the syntax I figured this might help.
ML's module language has subtyping. Given any module signature, you can obtain a supersignature by forgetting any of the following:

(0) The presence of a value component.

(1) The presence of a type component.

(2) The concrete definition of a type component, while still remembering its presence.

I am not sure you can do this in Idris, other than manually shuffling data between multiple dependent record types. Which is rather inconvenient: If you have a module with 20 components, the last thing you want to do is manually shift 15 of them to another module.

Also, unlike vanilla Haskell (no extensions) type classes, which can only have a single type parameter, ML modules can have more than one type component.
EMBA here. Learned nothing I didn't already knew when enrolling, except for strengthening my opinion on ignoring certificates while hiring. In the end I wasted a lot of time and money to prove that I am able to waste a lot of time and money.

I think its to ensure that they are in the 'first to market' group with Internet of Things. Right now, like Malic mentioned, its a gold rush of throwing money at anyone that can hook up bluetooth to a 'dumb' device. Its the same reason that after the Pebble was created, every consumer electronics company started spitting out smart watches as well.

We need the IoT bubble to happen so people realize you don't need everything controlled from a single device. I think its more of an uncanny valley of what is wanted and what is excessive. The Roomba, for example; doesn't need to be a wifi-enabled device, but can still have a computer inside it driving. People are adding wifi to it, but does it was successful without it.

I think as we mature in the IoT market, the sales and hardware will drop, but as of right now, we don't know what works and what doesn't, so we are trying everything.
The coolness factor points that it's a pretty nice art performance.
I am not familiar with this 'all lives matter' thing, so I will ignore that for the moment, it also seems to be off-topic.

Did you know that the effects of non-conformance have different outcomes with different people. You might say that is a useless thing to say, and you'd be right. Just as the non-explanation you put about genders and non-conformance is as well. And my post had nothing to say that it wasn't asymmetric, so your response was changing the subject.

The grandparent post you mentioned in your post before was asking for evidence before assuming that females were more susceptible to societal pressures, as that is playing to a stereotype. He suggested that it is wiser to take a neutral view. My post corrected you when you said that that post was trying to downplay the societal pressure, it wasn't.

Your response with the "all lives matter" sideshow is changing the argument again and is quite dishonest. Just like you misrepresented the "grandparent post".
Treating terrorist organizations like terrorist organizations hasn't really helped either. The war on terror, is just as failed as the war on drugs. Basically the hard nosed simple approaches never work. You got to look and underlying causes and deal with those. But that is too intricate so people don't want to listen to such solutions.

Problem with tight packing is that lots of the criminals wont be violent but will become in these prisons, and those who are violent will become even more so. Unless you plan building prisons only for life sentences these people will come out of prison more violent and messed up than ever. That hardly a receipt for a more peaceful society.

As long as people are going to get out at some point, you can't ignore what happens to them while they are incarcerated.
