That's true and a good point, but the article also quotes a Mexican grower who says the bulk price has come down about 50%. That's money right out of the cartels pockets.
I do not think it was the build server, though. According to this analysis[1], the developer used a different key to sign the build (all Mac apps need to be signed or the default behavior is to reject that App. You can permanently disable this behavior in settings, or just for on app by holding control while opening the App, which a lot users who use transmission probably do because not all legitimate Apps are signed). Anyways, since the app was signed by a third party's certificate (which was approved by Apple), chances are only the website was compromised. If the build server had been compromised, the attack would have had access to the developer's certificate and they would most likely have used that.

The personal barrier to entry would become worse with legalization, that the peer pressure would thrive on. But that logic would be true for other accounts, too. I've been thinking before that legalization, from the perspective of prior moralized prohibition, would seem like allowance or even encouragement, instead of deregulation because of a lack of or even of the futility of enforcement.
All segwit transactions are valid under the old rules. Old clients can continue sending transactions as they did before, as I mentioned, segwit only repurposes non-standard transactions, so it should have no effect on someone using the network normally.
His comment went right past you. What you care about the most on your computer is your personal data, and all of it sits under $HOME. Any script running as $USER can steal sensitive data, wipe out personal and work files, maybe even cloud storage services. None of that requires admin rights.

The only solution is sandboxing everything.
This is why you do a pre-purchase inspection and demand a record of services performed on any car you're interested in buying. Most private party used car sales are AS IS. The minute the new owner drives away it's his problem. You should know the condition of your car, and if you're driving one that's unsafe, that's on you.
RFCs 561, 680, 724, and 733 are the antecedents to RFC 822, which remains the basis of every nearly every email sent today. The dates on the earlier RFCs start from 1973, with RFC 733 (what I think was the first one actually agreed upon as a standard rather than a, well, request for comments) merely in 1977, all before the supposed "invention" in 1978. (RFC 822 itself was only 1982).

It's even hard to take the claim that Shiva's invention was the first to mimic inter-office mail seriously: all of the header fields are clearly mentioned in RFC 680.

In other words, the only way that you can even plausibly claim that Shiva invented email is to define email so narrowly that the only candidate is, in fact, his product. This should come across about as absurd as saying that FORTRAN can't be the first programming language because it didn't include an if statement.

Thank you. I hardly ever see comments about the benefits of legalization to casual weed smokers. Maybe we haven't shed the stigma yet, but this isn't just bad for drug lords and for-profit prisons, this is good for millions of consumers!
I've made the argument with lots of strongly pro-legalization folks that they should be investing in efforts to develop a reliable test for current intoxication. A lot of the strongest (in my view) anti-legalization arguments stem from the current difficulty to detect things like driving and coming to work under the influence.

That's always a question of proportion. It's all in the mix. It's sure carcinogenic and surely beats the lung up in a lot of ways. It also does statistically, by my own observation, lead to a significant lack of all kinds of activities.

For example, it frequently leads to a lack of believe in - or even just consideration for - how terrible substance consumption is, over all if not for the sake of nutrition.
Not to nitpick, but right in the article:

>And it's not just price — Mexican growers are facing pressure on quality, too. "The quality of marijuana produced in Mexico and the Caribbean is thought to be inferior to the marijuana produced domestically in the United States or in Canada," the DEA wrote last year in its 2015 National Drug Threat Assessment.

They perhaps didn't elaborate on it (from a good and interesting perspective) as you have, but it was mentioned.
It could not be used in court, though, and putting all immigrants in some of CIA's secret prisons (if the exists) would be even more expensive for the tax payer.
In my mind, that leads to scenarios where the government "asks" someone to sign a confession. That's been done before, and it doesn't end well.
Smart people make dumb decisions all the time. They are just better at convincing themselves/others that their (wrong) decisions are right. So why should philosophy be different? All people (independently of intelligence) make decisions using their values/emotions first. And then defend those decisions (more or less well) using their intelligences.

Have an upvote, but I don't think the solution to resolving the kind of problem you describe is criminalization of substances. In fact, I think the crazy controlling environment you describe fits hand in glove with criminalization. They both essentially grow out of a mindset that one person has some inherent right to control another in highly invasive, fundamental ways. A "live and let live" attitude would create laws and effective means to protect employees from abusive employers of the type you describe while not caring what drugs you choose to take, so long as you can behave. "Your right to swing your fist stops where my face begins" and all that.

It weighs less than comparable modern cars (my S80 weighed 4400lbs IIRC, my truck weighs 7,200 and my wife's van is about 5,500) at 3,900lbs.

There's others on YouTube. It doesn't look pretty. A low belt-line doesn't help either (or so I've read, I'm not an automotive engineer).

I get the old car love. A P1800 or Volvo Amazon would be so cool. But you have to accept that even vehicles that were at the top of their game a decade ago are going to get the bad end of the stick in a wreck with a new vehicle. There's a 5th Gear video of a last-gen vs new Espace out there as well. Both 5-star rated at release. The new one absolutely demolished the old one. And we're talking about a much smaller time gap in releases here.

The W124 has only gotten more attractive with age. It's reliable and easy to service. It's better environmentally than running out and buying a Tesla. That's all admirable. and adults are totally capable of those outweigh safety for themselves.

But motor vehicle accidents are the leading cause of death among children and teens if you exclude suicide and cancer. If you could do something that would have a potentially large impact on that stat, as a parent, it's kind of hard to ignore.

(Which wow, that seems like a pretty stark class issue I've never considered before.)

> A Model S weighs something like 4700lbs, depending on battery? I suppose it depends on one's definition of "fast car"

What? Fast means fast. The Model S goes fast. It has better performance than cars it competes with, like BMW 5/7 series, etc.

Is it the fastest car? No. And why would it need to be? It's a luxury sedan, not a race car.

> Because OBD-2 is a standard with an entire ecosystem built around it.

It's an absolutely horrible standard and that entire ecosystem should die. Every car should have an open API that is easily accessible using any computer, rather than specialized equipment.

I'll give you that one.

> but are you saying that the subsystem vendors are American too, to some degree larger than other manufacturers?

Yes. Because Elon Musk is pulling a Henry Ford. They're more vertically integrated than any other car company. I'm not sure that's a good thing ... but it does support my point.

> It's not free, it's incorporated into the cost of the purchase.

Well, yeah. Someone has to pay for it to get built and to maintain it. It's free in the sense that I don't have to explicitly pay for it. It's just included and I can use it as much as I want.

The Model S and Model X are excellent cars. Not perfect, but excellent. There's a reason they're eating up the entire luxury market.

No court would ever issue an order forcing you to sign a confession. You could make the same fallacious slippery-slope argument against any government power at all. "If they began to use this in a different way, it would be terrible". Of course, which is why we have a court system that decides what is and isn't an appropriate use of the government's authority.

The 5th amendment guarantees that you can't be forced to incriminate yourself. As an example that courts are perfectly capable of drawing lines, you can be compelled to hand over encryption keys for a third-party's data, but not for your own.
I use wanikani, and I'd be surprised if this was a fake/paid for post. The team that builds it is really small (just one guy develops the product, he has 2-3 employees for community management etc), and their user base is really in love with the product.

I might be wrong, but I wouldn't be surprised if this was just an excited user. Partly because for the reasons I just listed, and partly because his path to learning Japanese sounds... counter productive to say the least (learning 756 kanji over 4 years before you tackle grammar is... silly).

Regardless, wanikani (and other Japanese products made by this small company) is excellent. I recommend it, and am not affiliated with it.

Keep in mind in that learning a language, limiting yourself to a single source is silly. Try different textbooks, online courses, apps, YouTube videos, etc. Some of them will convey grammar in a way that clicks more with you, others pronunciation, others vocabulary, etc.
> Where does this idea of glorifying not spending on marketing come from?

Its probably playing on some peoples notions that marketing is evil, and therefore money shouldn't be spent on it. Obviously not true, but there is a general dislike for marketing.

it might be 2.5% of the total population but women live longer on average than men so what happens if you look between the ages of say 20 to 30?

> Was Meier famous at the time?

Not, like, Kardashian-famous, but definitely well known among people who played simulation games at the time. (Source: I was one.)

> Why was his name needed when they departed from their normal style, and not for the normal flight simulators?

By that point MicroProse didn't need any help marketing itself as a maker of flight simulators, because it was a company that had built its brand making excellent flight simulators. "MicroProse" and "flight simulation" were joined at the hip. (And their marketing reinforced this -- when it focused on any of the behind-the-scenes personnel it focused on Stealey, whose background as a USAF pilot reinforced the connection.)

When they decided to branch out into different types of games all that flight sim street cred wasn't going to do them much good, though; and Stealey's military background wouldn't help sell a pirate game the way it helped sell F-15 Strike Eagle. They needed a new angle to market their games around, and bringing Meier forward as a public personality provided that.

> Human intelligence has remained approximately the same for 50,000 years. The ancient world had its geniuses at the same rate as the modern world.

No, they didn't. Human genetic intelligence may be the same (although this is doubtful because as ancient genomes slowly become available for analysis, we see ever more signs of huge numbers of frequencies changing in soft selection sweeps when we go back only a few thousand years in Europe, so 50k years...?), but the environments are not nearly the same. The ancient world was absolutely grindingly dirt-poor compared to the modern world, and the negative environmental accordingly huge. (Even things like sanitation may not have made a difference: http://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2016/01/ancient-ro... )

The most comparable places to the ancient world right now would be somewhere like subsaharan Africa, where between the subsistence agriculture, parasites, poverty, and whatnot, despite the benefits of widespread literacy and vaccines, the average IQ is still quite low, somewhere around IQ 80, or at least 1 standard deviation below the West; with genius at a cutoff of IQ 140 or so, that implies a rate of geniuses much less than 1/8th the Western rate.

So no, the rate isn't going to be nearly the same. I would note that it's probably not an accident that when we think of geniuses of antiquity, we tend to think of people drawn from the urban elite of the capital city of empires at their peak (eg Athens, Rome)...

Disclaimer: I work for SUSE, a Linux company which provides support for enterprises running SLES, as well as contributing our packages and knowledge to the openSUSE community.

I don't see how you could consider package management as a bad thing. Why do you consider "downloading binaries from a random website" to be a "good thing". Not to mention that those binaries almost never update themselves and how well they deal with dependencies depends on what $500 installer builder they used.

Package managers allow you to always keep your system up to date and you have a single database of all software that has been installed, what it's dependencies are and what files it did install (so you can uninstall it). They are definitely one of the awesome things about Linux package managers. OS X has homebrew, but it's not well integrated into the system because it's a third-party library of software. BSD's package managers are at least 10 years behind Linux's (they're still working on packaging the base system). Windows has nothing AFAIK. Things like OBS allow you to automate the release of new versions, OpenQA allows you to do automated QA testing to make sure there's no regressions in graphical or terminal services.

I especially don't understand why you think that not having a way to update the libraries on your system is a good idea. Packaging the same DLL in 30 different places is not a good thing.
