Being UAV has relatively little to do with anything. Background: Typical 4th generation fighter is about 20 tons. 5 tons fuel, 3 tons engines, 30% structures = 6 tons. 2 tons payload. ~400kg internal cannon with rounds and mount. Ton of avionics and flares and such. Ton of radar+flir+optics etc. 100kg pilot with ~100 kg life support and ~100kg seat. ~some stuff for balance. Removing the pilot completely gets you 300kg more fuel. Which gives you ~7% more range.

Change the requirements? No need for 9g load limit, 5G will suffice. And the engine could be medium bypass because you don't really want to go supersonic. -> 2 tons more fuel while fuel consumption is halved. -> 300% more range. And we didn't even touch power/weight ratios.

They cut down carrier air wings in the 90's because Soviet Union collapsed. Viking had to go the Prowler was phased out. Viking had range og ~5000km Prowler had ~3000km. The current best is super Hornet with about ~2000km and F35 will not change that. Now that China is ramping up, you need replacement. One of the most important things done by previous slow and clumsy planes was the refueling. Because it could extend the ranges of other planes.

Ranges matter. The pacific is ~10 000km across.
I've been using -nix for almost 20 years. I've used everything from ksh on SunOS 2.6 (Solaris?? what's that) to oh-my-zsh (for 3 years, before happily graduating to oh-my-fish). I grew up on Slackware 6 waiting hours and hours for a 2.2 kernel build to finish. In high school, FreeBSD 4.3 kernel mods took up more time than booze and women. My 3 year puppy love for oh-my-zsh dimmed as I transitioned to a more sane, less emotional woman - oh-my-fish.

I hate to admit it, but Microsoft just got it right with Powershell. Standardizing the convention with an intuitive Verb-Noun, the out of the box documentation with -examples, -full, etc goes into so much detail that if everyone used it, there wouldn't be any dumb "How does I move directory??" questions on Stackoverflow (well, there'd be less at least).

Don't know a command? Show-Commands and type in 'network' to see what's available. Don't see it there? Go get a Powershell script (often offered by vendors like VMware and Citrix, making devop lives easier). I remember spending _weeks_ trying to get my dual-boot machine (FBSD / Win2k) Cygwin/msys setup to work well on my P3 600 at 12 or 13. Now I can just Feature install Bash and get a native binary. Let me say that again -- now, I can Feature install Bash on Windows jeeebus. QT is LGPL. CLR is open source. Visual Studio Community (basically Professional) is free (unless you need historical debugging then Ultimate's going to cost a lot). Satya + Meijers + Hanselman et al have made favor Microsoft so hard, despite being an active donor of the FSF.

That GNUutils-with-autocomplete is real trivial to write, but since it's already in fish, I see no need to right it. :smug: [In all seriousness, I agree with you re: standards. Plan 9's interface standards semi-addressed that. But le sigh such is life.]
Thanks for reminding me about Marelle! I was really excited about it back then, but then, due to the Prolog dependency, I got a bit more practical.
Similarly, I added Wired to a whitelist, but they still showed me the anti-adblocking modal - possibly due to my hosts file. Figuring out what caused it was more trouble than it was worth, so I just don't read Wired anymore.

Octoblu confuses me. I can't find anything about their pricing scheme (if any), while all their professional partners listed make me think there definitely has to be one hidden in there somewhere.
I'm not sure I agree with geofencing, but it's also true that drone operators appear to be, by and large, acting like complete jerks and someone needs to get the message across somehow.

That.. Isn't the solution. The point is that bash is not a good target for shell scripts, not that you should use env to detect the location of bash.
Nice job! Thanks, thanks, and more thanks!
The clippers weren't the last (nor to a certain standard) best commercial cargo sailing ships. That would be the steel-hulled windjammers, which were first built in the most popular configuration in 1875, and the largest of which wasn't built until 1902[1].

They weren't as fast as the clippers (though still quite fast for a sailing vessel), but they could carry much more cargo. They remained cheaper than steam for many years for non time sensitive bulk cargo. Even after they would have disappeared from a completely free market, they remained in service due to the artificial cheapness of labor for some countries that required serving terms aboard a commercial sailing vessel for certain licenses.

The Union of Concerned Scientists report was probably the most effective one in my mind; Panofsky and Bethe among others showed that SDI was not cost effective at the margins, meaning that the marginal Soviet costs of more missiles was lesser than our marginal cost to scale SDI up to deal with them.
Ok, then ignore the second part of my post. I'm asking what exactly is false about saying that big parts of the autobahn are unrestricted? Which part of that sentence is false?

Unfortunately, I think my first chatbot that I wrote about a year ago, and named Jarvis (based on Hubot by Github) will be cloned by a million of these projects...

I admit, it's not the most creative name; I just thought it would be cool a year ago to feel like Iron Man as I asked Jarvis to deploy my application to production...
Half precision ftw! ML is the use case they're designing for, but we all get to reap the benefits.
In other words it's the modern equivalent of the ancient practice of trial by fire.

Except that in this case the defendant should have a defense attorney who will tell them the truth, that the ordeal itself is a farce and the real test is whether agreeing to suffer it will convince the prosecutor.

Which destroys its value as a filter and converts it back into its true form, a waste of tax dollars on pseudoscience BS. (And a method for prosecutors to coerce innocent defendants into giving up their right to remain silent or communicate through their attorney.)

What a waste. Does the US really need to dump more money into air craft carriers? The US carrier fleet is already 10 times larger than any other country in the world.

That's actually good precedent to bring up - has e.g. Google Maps or more infamously, Apple Maps, ever been held liable for bad directions? I believe it's still seen as the end user's responsibility to obey the laws, especially when the safeguards fail.

Hmm, the US Navy knows how to navigate! That makes sense.
This assumes that 'the state == society'

I guess I think of society as being larger than the state these days. I can interact with, share, befriend, and work with people in another country just as quickly and easily as I can with someone living in the same country (case in point, this conversation here). Our state borders do not define our society.
I work 80 hour weeks about 50 - 55 for my employer and the rest on my side projects. It's all about passion (I have to keep my job to be able to work on side projects that I'm passionate about), but I don't think I'd be a good candidate to work for this guy.

If the solution to the problem relies on human beings being fully-informed, entirely competent, and never making mistakes-- it's not a very good solution, IMO.

Yes, people should maintain backups. But if people don't, for whatever reason (maybe they've never heard the word "backup" before; maybe they typed the wrong command and thought they had backups all along, etc.) shouldn't be screwed if something goes wrong.
Firstly, it is the entire UK, not just England

The UK is definitely a bit proponent of necessary EU reform. One significant reason behind Brexit, is that getting the EU to actually change is nigh on impossible.

Hey, I signed up just to reply! If you want to begin to understand the stuff for fun I recommend the Udacity cluster of data science courses - intro to data science, machine learning, and eventually deep neural networks. I took AI at Stanford and learned a TON but for getting your hands dirty fast the Udacity courses are more appropriate. They have a bunch and they are well segmented so if you want to divert into e.g. data visualization, there's a class for that.

Your learning will culminate in this course: https://www.udacity.com/course/deep-learning--ud730
With cars we have technologies called roads and lines and signs that tell us where we can and cannot go. But sometimes, those fail us. Particularly in areas with lots of dirt roads (no lines). And especially when there are many dirt roads (potentially no signs, too many locations to put them up). That does not excuse people from driving in restricted areas. It may be cause for mitigation. But, at least around here, driving in an otherwise unmarked (signs) wilderness protection area (on the map), will still get you a ticket and a fine if you're caught. Even if you did pass into it on a dirt road you were allowed to drive on and there were no signs.

The pilot can try that line of reasoning, it is (somewhat) valid. But reviewing maps would, ideally, only be made redundant. Since we don't live in an ideal world, it'd still be their responsibility to know where they were flying.
Targeting is really hard. Carriers move around and these are susceptible to electronic counter measures.

I like more than one way to do things, the issue is the two control panels do different things and its impossible to remember which does what.

For example, I can configure a VPN adapter in one Control Panel (Legacy) but I have to go to the other Control Panel (New) to connect or disconnect it or anything like that.

Yeah, I might even go as far to say: it's mostly just smartphones, laptops, and servers now. ESR admits as much: ", except that [my high-end PC] is really more like a baby supercomputer"
...or any evidence that it existed at all? That's certainly news.
Very cool demo of these technologies. I played around with Phoenix a few weeks ago and haven't had a chance to come back to it.

Are you using Phoenix channels for the real time communication?
A friend recently (several months ago) was fined because he trusted Google Maps to be accurate and drove into an otherwise unmarked (by the route he took into it) wilderness protection area. He got the minimal fine because he demonstrated that he'd tried to obey the law (showed that Google Maps marked the areas, but marked them incorrectly), but he was still fined.
That they're awesome because they release data dumps of their answers for anyone to download? IIRC, this has even caused them problems -- 3rd parties were downloading their data and out-SEOing them for the same content. (I believe google put in a manual boost to SE sites in the results due to this.)
It's not laziness, it's basic cost/benefit evaluation. Many feel that 2.7 isn't lacking in such a way that 3.x offers so great a benefit as to outweigh its costs (effort to convert, loss of some portion of the long tail of available packages.) Others disagree.

The success of 2.7 is an amazing thing. Most languages have one great major version, some have zero, Python has two.
I've always hoped the Saudis would take all their money and make the peninsula green.

https://goo.gl/maps/8XXa4zSxHAL2 They've already got this massive farming operation in the middle of the desert. With 2 trillion they could desalinate so much water. Pricing is something like 1000 gallons of seawater for a few dollars, $2 trillion could desalinate a millionth of the ocean.
"Yap has no metal. There’s nothing to make into coins. What the Yapese do instead is sail 250 miles to an island called Palau, where there’s a particular kind of limestone not available on their home island. They quarry the limestone, and then shape it into circular wheel-like forms with a hole in the middle, called fei. Some of these fei stones are absolutely huge, fully 12 feet across. Then they sail the fei back to Yap, where they’re used as money.

The great advantage of the fei being made from this particular stone is that they’re impossible to counterfeit, because there’s none of the limestone on Yap. The fei are rare and difficult to get by definition, so they hold their value well. You can’t fake a fei. Just as you have to work to get money in a developed economy – so the money constitutes a record of labour – the fei are an unfakeable record of the labour that went into their creation. In addition, the big ones have the advantage that they’re impossible to steal. By the same token, though, they’re impossible to move, so what happens is that if you want to spend some of the money, you just agree that somebody else now owns the coin. A coin sitting outside somebody’s house can be transferred backwards and forwards as part of a series of transactions, and all that actually happens is that people change their minds about who now owns it. Everyone agrees that the money has been transferred. The real money isn’t the fei, but the idea of who owns the fei. The register of ownership, held in the community memory, is the money."

The larger point is that money has always required waste to create. Gold was valuable because it was scarce, fiat money was valuable because it was backed by gold. Eventually fiat money went off the gold standard, but it couldn't have started like that.
This is also the guy who sent out the email saying that if you're going to the hospital, make sure to take your laptop with you so you can keep working. I'm guessing employee work-life balance is not very high on his list of concerns.
Are scalable web hosting costs really a significant portion of the operating costs of most news publishers with websites?

Additionally, losing visitors means losing the links they share on social media, so ad revenue may not be stable either (assuming adblocking users' links are visited by non-adblocking users.)
Smart comment.

The UNIX shell and core-util model of "everything is text", and line-by-line output and tools for line-by-line data manipulation, goes very far, much farther than you'd think, but is limited. Everyone has internalized those limitations.

It reminds me of MATLAB: everything is a matrix (another standard, versatile, tabular data structure), and many language constructs exist to manipulate this common data structure.
Current hypersonic missiles require extensive guidance to intercept their targets (i.e. hit them); momentum will carry a defeated hypersonic missile right into the water.

The Dongfeng 21 is a ballistic missile, and not usually referred to as hypersonic; the latter usually refers to cruise missiles capable of travel at > Mach 3. In addition, the DF-21 is very unlikely to be used in a conventional war, as it may look like a tactical nuclear weapon. The DF-21 is also relatively easy to intercept, and could only be successful if used in a saturation attack; the Wikipedia article is written more like an advertisement than a fact-based informational piece.

Yeah, that can be annoying to look at 5 or 6 classes-- it's certainly not semantic and it can be quite a pile. I use foundation and I feel like the class names are more aesthetically pleasing, but that's a really minor concern :D

But practically I find that it's less difficult to make layout changes this way-- I can just cut sections and paste them somewhere else and I don't have to look elsewhere for their actual layout rules. I find it much more difficult to untangle the grid system when I can look at the classes directly on the elements.

I say this having had to do it even for my own code quite a bit... I just find it a little more difficult to think out when I don't have the columns listed on the elements themselves.
Only if the boss getting a bunch of angry texts has any impact. If things continue on the same way, then it's only postponing that choice.
Haven't looked, but most likely a dump from a 3rd party service where user's used government email as credentials, then isolated out to look like a bigger hack than it is?

33k is a lot though, and nothing to scoff at. But given the breath of scope in the addresses here, this looks less like a breach of a government agency and more like some social network, etc.

I tend to do the same. Specially since I am only using Firefox's tracking protection. I don't mind seeing adds. So I am not blocking ads, just trackers. Figure out a way to show me the adds and I won't mind.

Indeed, not all male computer science students have prior exposure to programming[0]. I didn't when I entered college, and I had several male peers who did. That they had that advantage was definitely intimidating. Yet, at the same time they were clearly participants in a hobby and community that I wanted to be a part of, and when I expressed interest they were quite welcoming. I think in large part they were just glad to find other people with whom they could share their passion.

Now, I'm doing quite well as an engineer and I thoroughly enjoy programming.

I have no prescriptions for women; all I'm suggesting is that we do not over-generalize about the experiences that men have in CS.

[0]Well, I did try to teach myself programming a couple different times, but I failed utterly and concluded that I wasn't cut-out for it. If anything that experience put me in a worse starting position. I started out college studying philosophy and literature.
