I would draw it facing left and I think that's because of the way I learned to mount a bike: the bike-stand is on the left side so you need to have your last foot on the ground on the left side in order to pull it up.

inalienable: incapable of being alienated, surrendered,
or transferred <inalienable rights> [1]

What the parent said sounds like pretty much the dictionary definition of inalienable to me?

Nice explanation! I'd also paint it that way and thought this was because bikes on advertisement materials are usually shown that way around.
"In May 2014, both Thrush planes were flown from the U.S. across the Atlantic Ocean to Airborne’s hangar."

How common is it for single engine single seat aircraft to be flown across large oceans? Does the Thrush 510G have sufficient fuel capacity?
The first bike is missing its chain stays, the bars connecting the bottom bracket to the rear axle and the ends of the seat stays. Wikipedia has a nice diagram with the names of all the parts of a bicycle [1].

There are real bike designs that have a monofork (a one-sided fork, e.g. the Cannondale "lefty"), a monostay, or a solid body instead of top & down tubes (e.g. many folding bikes or the extremely aero Ventum One [2]). The Giant Halfway [3] folding bike has all three features!

That's not how PV is calculated. It's C/(1+r) where r is the rate between now and the time of the cashflow. When rates are zero, it just means that the cashflow is worth today the same as it'll be when it's paid. As rates increase, the PV of that cashflow reduces.

Also, although base rates are around zero, long term interest rates are higher. True they're not high by historic standards but you still get some discounting for cashflows beyond the short term.

Would be nice. There are network effects, though, that make this less likely. If prices "succeed" in driving people out, prices will fall to the point that people come back in (as long as the network of money and jobs stays intact).
A bit late maybe, but GPL does not only hinder proprietary software, it also prevents the use of a more permissive license, such as MIT. Personally I would never GPL any of my code because of this. I prefer a more permissive license (such as MIT or similar) but that also means I cannot put GPL code inside my code. So whenever I see GPL:ed code, whether for private (open-source) purposes or business (proprietary, closed-source), I steer clear. So if I'm not able to use the code for any purpose, does that not mean that sharing is hindered?

Btw, I never said I don't believe in the morals of the free software movement, I just said I don't believe GPL is the way forward. GPL is idealistic but not very pragmatic. Open-source is the future and (ironically) a lot of big (traditionally closed-source) companies are paving the way.
The problem is you'll be putting out a 5 persons team, hope you don't get a Silicon Valley competitor who hires a 50 persons teams and spends ad money with their VC funding.
Likely not impossible, but the crucial weak point would probably be the connection with the seat tube. Independent of the material, that place would need some heavy gusseting/reinforcement. That particular bike also has a very vulnerable connection to the head tube, as only the down tube connects to it.

There are bikes without a rear triangle, but they (almost?) always lack the seatstay instead of the chainstay or have what could be considered something in between a chainstay/seatstay. Here are some examples:

That's a very nationalistic position. You are basically saying that every soldier should have the nationality of the army he fights for. Mercenaries are a very old tradition and I don't see what is intrinsically wrong with it, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swiss_mercenaries.

And what about the European and American nationals who joined the kurds to fight ISIS in Syria? Are they traitors and should be jailed because they fight for a foreign army?
Last I heard, these tainted drivers from FTDI weasled their way through WHQL and into Windows Update...
Well actually that's a good point. Who polices the police? It's the other forces of the government, which ultimately rely on the army forces. If you get a rogue police department that revolts, you need the army. If you get a rogue mercenary that needs to be controlled, you will need the army. And even if you get a section of the army revolting, you will of course need the rest of the army.

None of that precludes that some parts of that structure to be private. You just need to have a structure that is resilient to non-compliance.

So I actually agree with you: if the United States want to use mercenaries, they should improve how they do it. But then again, there might be a way to do it that works.
Yes. Disclaimer: I'm one of those.

I started a degree, but dropped out. It was just a waste of time and money, "learning" and doing what they put before me, which often was outdated, badly presented, silly or plain wrong (this might be different in a good college, I tried three different Spanish ones). I could just go and learn by myself the right things, from the right sources (seriously, the Internet is full of _amazing_ stuff), both theoretical and practical.

If something, I wish I could take back all that time and money rather than go back and finish. I never had a problem so far on getting hired or learning what I want or need.

In war everything goes. So if you introduce people like these into war, expect them to be put in situations sooner or later where they can do anything any other soldier can do with a similar if not greater level of impunity. It's naive to think you can control the social and business aspect of these sorts of things with just a bit of policy.
You can actually turn by leaning in the correct direction. This is actually the usual way to turn if you're no-hand biking.

Front wheel is attached to a thick tube that is almost vertical (weight tries to compress the tube), and that tube is attached to another thick tube throught a wide strong pivot that keeps the angle between the tubes constant.

Back wheel is attached to two thin rods at 45 degreee angle. Weight tries to push the seat down and push the back wheel away (to increase the angle). That's why we need another tube to hold the wheel at constant disntance (and to keep the angle fixed).

You could probably make it work by creating similar strong joint keeping the angle between seat tube and wheel rods constant for the back wheel, but why? Hm, maybe to make a bicycle with both wheels turning :)

Sorry for my English, never had to describe bicycles and probably all the techincal terms are wrong :)
The original inalienable rights -- life, liberty, and happiness -- aren't inalienable because their transfer is prohibited by law, but because they're impossible by fact.

You can be denied of your life, your liberty, and/or your happiness. They cannot however be transferred to another person.

Your material possessions -- real estate, chattel property, intellectual property -- can be.

Again: the nature of inalienable rights is intrinsic, not protected by law.

You'll find that meaning supported in the definition you've provided.

(There's a whole 'nother discussion of rights-based arguments generally I won't get into, though I find the question somewhat problematic.)
Maybe a better analogy is that it's like listening to mono audio. Your analogy would be like putting one earbud in.
I agree. That is the much bigger question. Texting with software has a huge novelty factor for many people, but it remains to be seen if it's actually more useful.

GUIs offer a lot of great short cuts that are simply faster to visually read and interact with than reading text and typing - or even saying - a response.

I think there are aspects of chat bots that really do offer a new and better user experience, but they're not necessarily the ones being highlighted in demos.

Asynchronous interaction with an interface for potentially long-running tasks is wonderful. I can tell an app to, say, find a list of hotels I might like in Argentina and then flip to another app knowing that I'll be notifieda few seconds later when the response is ready.

The way forward may be a hybrid interface, where bots can respond with messages that are little mini GUIs. There might be photos to scroll through and a few buttons to click. FB showed off a feature like this at F8 today.

Ultimately what would make a bot a really improved experience is if it knows you really well, but that doesn't imply a conversational interface. If you could say "make dinner reservations for tonight" and trust the bot would find the perfect place that would be awesome. That's hard. And it has nothing to do with chat bots per se, just a much better recommendation engine.
Someone asked about how I do this stuff, and I guess why... I replied privately but the answer can be public:

It's part manual, part-automated.

I manually add travel itinerary items, tickets (for sports, shows, concerts), etc... at the time of purchase, with enough information such that I could arrive somewhere and that calendar entry can tell me everything... i.e. I even attach PDF tickets to calendar entries. I don't trust the automated Gmail stuff for this as I want to be sure it really got every important detail right.

Then there's some IFTTT automation. These are things like "If I make a public Tweet" or "If I post to Instagram" or "If I bookmark something on Pinboard" or "If I make a dinner reservation via Open Table" (that recipe looks at my Gmail, the others directly connect to Twitter, Instagram, Pinboard, etc). All those kinds of things are automated.

Then I use an Android app called SMS Backup to insert a log of all phone calls I made... the person I called or received a call from. Those are automated too.

I don't actually put everything into Google Calendar though. I only put things that I regard as public. So messages I've sent via Signal, or watching a film at home with my wife or having friends over... those things are private and didn't end up in any calendar.

What I'm going for is: If the metadata is out in the world somewhere, then it should serve me more than it serves anyone else.

I copy that metadata back into Google Calendar and the way it serves me is that I can always view everything I've done publicly in a wider context: Tweeted that, bookmarked this, purchased that book on Wordy. I get to glue together information from several systems and that is the essence of the diary, I get to see stories of my life in my own metadata.

Final note: It's a delicate system. I've been doing it for years and it needs love to maintain all of the integrations. A few I've abandoned along the way (I used to record the audio of phonecalls, upload to Drive, and link from the Google Calendar event... but this was fragile, and the voice wasn't indexed or searchable so could never answer questions like "When did I call x about y?"... the metadata of who I called was enough, so I abandoned the sound).

Hope all that helps. And I'm afraid I don't have much code to show for this.

Things I'm missing: Google Fit and Google Maps Timeline integrations.

If any Google Calendar team member wants to hear more, I have a lot of views on what could be done with Calendar to make it a really awesome tool for a "plan this, log that" diary that helps create and tell stories of our lives. I'm in SF next month and can meet if you want. Contact details in my profile.

"According to the plan, the aircraft would have 12 hours of endurance to conduct operations."

I'm no expert nor have I done the calculations, but 12 hours sounds like enough time to cross the Atlantic. What I don't know is whether the fuel tank was expanded/replaced.
My guess is, it's to do with left-to-right reading/writing.
I think the problem stems from the customer not caring about the quality of software. That combined with wanting it for nothing. They may say they care about it, but when you look at their behaviour, and not at what they say, they really don't care at all. It could literally delete all their files and most would shrug and go, oh well. What are you going to do?

When software users really start to care, and are willing to put their money where their mouth is, then you will see general software quality improve.
There is this constant pet peeve of mine with the Google Calendar App on Android where if you would like to delete an appointment, you can't do it anywhere else (week, month, day, etc) except in the appointment itself. Prior to Lollipop, one had to go into the appointment itself -> hit "edit" -> scroll all the way down to the bottom of the appointment details -> click giant delete button which filled the whole bottom bit.

Lollipop is slightly better where you still have to click on the appointment itself but again, there are no obvious buttons except edit and the only way to delete it is to click on "menu" -> select delete.

I tried reporting it and like any other support query that goes to google, it just goes into a giant black hole (ok, i exaggerate much.. more like 7 in 10 actually).
I'm not sure I understand you correctly. Neither a government in general nor particularly its army have only one core competency, and surely it's not "kill the bad guys". I'd actually say management is closer to their core competency. Which percentage of the army's personnel is shooting bullets, and which percentage of them are managing putting the bullets (and the troops) on the ground, analyzing where to put them, policing that they comply with what the government wants, recruiting, overseeing, intelligence, managing subcontractors and providers (gasoline, tanks, fences, uniforms, building construction, IT equipment, etc.)?
Anecdata: I have a friend who is from Detroit. A techie, lived in the East coast and works for a company on the west coast. Visits Detroit to see family.

He says that the Detroit "rejuvenation" is a complete scam. That all the articles in the press reference the same three or four restaurants. That, yes, there is a nice area in Detroit around what he calls "the green zone" (not sure if that is the accepted term or just a reference to the protected area in Iraq) but once you leave that square mile it is a wasteland.

Again, I have never been. But my friend gets annoyed at all the "Detroit is the next big thing" talk for these reasons.

Example Code Composer Studio Projects for TI CC3200 and MSP432
> An example of where this can all go wrong is if you have a TCP object that opens a connection to a remote server and then lets you read and write the socket. Someone decides that they need to find out what IP address the object used when it connected and create a get_ipaddr() method that returns a s_addr type. But then the TCP object is updated to support IPv6 and now the author needs to figure out how to return a V6 IP address to external methods that only expect V4

In that case you should use polymorphism. There is no reason why the consumer of the address returning the IP should know whether get_ipaddr returns an IPV4 or an IPV6 directly.

What we need is to destroy the idea that somehow vendors can expect others to do their security work for them. Full disclosure all the way, and put the pain with those who are the root cause: customers who don't want to pay what it costs to develop secure software, or what it costs to implement secure processes (i.e., airgapped infrastructure).
We use the area average growth price. But the idea is we are looking at properties that sold very recently, so the rise in price is not such an issue.
The concepts of police, laws, courts are concepts that make sense within a country. There seems to be a drive toward treating the world as a sort of country where universals laws, courts and police have some authority globally, usually dictated and controlled by the permanent members of the UN security council.

How much are you storing for those $3.00/month? Sounds too good to be true :-)

We're currently just rsyncing our pictures and stuff at home to two 3TB USB-drives (one active and one at my parents' place; using LUKS and btrfs with compression, snapshots). But even after running deduplication, they're filling up (raw files …), so I'm always on the lookout for other options. Upgrading to 2x4TB is a bit expensive, but I haven't yet found anything that'll cost me less than that while still having client-side encryption and Linux support. E.g. tarsnap seems to be about $250/TB-month, http://jotta.no/ is unlimited but has no Linux/encryption support, and I never understood Glacier pricing :-)

(and it's really convenient to be able to just restore from a local USB drive instead of having to wait for the network, though of course it's less convenient not having backups when travelling …)

After reading a lot of Christopher Alexander I came to the conclusion that the key is to build for people.

This applies to buildings but also to software.

- money
- cars (urban planning)
- the looks of it (using art is no fun)
We did run our own colo for about 18 months from 2012-2014. You are right: dedicated hardware is cheap. It saved us some money for awhile. We used Dell instances not unlike the one you spec'ed.

But even when we ran our own colo and hardware, we couldn't do all of our processing on a single node.

Also, in 2014 the business became critical enough that even if we could run everything on one node, we wouldn't want to risk it. So even when we had dedicated hardware, we still had to run Storm to spread the load onto multiple nodes.

The processing we do in real-time these days lights up over 300 EC2 vCores to 70%+ utilization during peak processing hours. A nightly job we run using pyspark lights up about 3x as many cores to near-100% utilization for several hours. And jobs we run during schema changes or backup restores can use more than 3,000 cores at once to churn through hundreds of terabytes of data.

I know it's very easy to say "YAGNI" to tools like Storm/Spark, and in most cases, I am with you. But when you outgrow the alternatives, as much as I'd love to just "throw a single machine at it", it simply isn't an option. YAGNI doesn't apply when you've exhausted all alternatives!

I've been getting a good bit of trickle-down since the late 90s at least .. but that's not the point.

When you talk about trickle-down, you're talking about the economy as a whole not just a specialised sector with a scarcity of skills ... if anything the value we create "trickles up" because half the time it's hard to see benefit to the man on the street.

Effective economic policy is not just about me having loads of money. It's about not seeing your friends and family having to struggle; your friends having to emigrate; cuts to services for the sick & elderly, and a spiralling cycle of fucking the poor.
