I've yelled at a squawking crow every time it cawed for a few minutes. After that I stopped and hid from the crow under various rooftops and the crow would fly around to get a visual vantage point on me (still cawing of course), I would move out of its visual range, it would fly to a new position to spot me. It was eerily fun.
Those people, if they survived, would have gone on to cause far more ecological damage to the planet than they otherwise did. Until we figure out how to colonize other solar systems, endeavors to spare every human life from such naturally occurring population controls seems foolishly good-hearted.
LOL, sorry my post was so long that you can't even read it in its entirety. I literally addressed what you said in my post; that law is but the most recent example of a history of suppression of minorities.

"Macro trends", you mean like the Voter ID laws? The continued traditions of Jim Crow Laws such as keeping blacks from being in the jury of black criminals?

But hey, answering why someone wouldn't consider N.C. as a place to live by completely dismissing their opinions is definitely not poisoning the discussion right? And definitely not a social issue at all.

Actually the market for mobile yes.
But on servers it will actually take a long time to replace ARM. So it's actually a win for customers when these two are rivals since we get cheaper servers or lower tdp on servers and cheaper mobile devices.

My understanding was that the report didn't show a null report:

The device produced positive thrusts in the positive direction and negative thrusts in the negative direction of about 20 micronewtons in a hard vacuum, consistent with the low Q factor.

Besides being tested horizontally in both directions on the torsion pendulum, the cavity was also set upwards as a "null" configuration. However, this vertical test intended to be the experimental control showed an anomalous thrust of hundreds of micronewtons that could be caused by a magnetic interaction with the power feeding lines going to and from liquid metal contacts in the setup.

This happened also in Italy in the late 90s/ early 00s. Everyone could buy for a few lire (there was no euro at that time) a smart card to watch every program on satellite pay TV. Periodically you had to check on some pirate website the crypto codes and reprogram the smart card. It was a very simple process that every person with little computer skills can do. After some years these codes start changing so fast (more than one time for day) and it was impossible to continue decoding. Everyone suspect that it was a clever politics by satellite broadcasting to make people used to premium satellite broadcasting
My last experience with rt-linux teached me that the kernel is not the only thing that needs to support real-time. As soon as you have any drivers (DMA!) or e.g. Service Management Interrupts (SMIs) that circumvent any smart preemptive scheduler of the kernel you're still screwed.
So, what was said is correct, hard real-time is hard, and an OS on top of a "general purpose" hardware platform makes it harder.

That being said, there is stuff like VxWorks, which kind of proves that it is possible, if you have full control over the hardware and the OS.

One would think that the million more people would cause said resources to run out sooner than they otherwise would.

Perhaps we should focus on how to deal with the consequences of eliminating certain natural human population controls before we go through with it.
Controlling for poverty does not remove the effect where blacks commit more crime than whites.

> As a means to assess these possibilities, I estimate separate regression equations for the black and white block groups in Atlanta. [...] Consistent with previous research, percent black retains a strong, significant effect on violent crime net of the effects of other controls. [...] Although this finding appears to provide partial support for the racial invariance assumption, the fact remains that for a large proportion of the black neighborhoods, the effect of disadvantage on violence is weaker than is the effect evident among all of the white neighborhoods in the analysis

More white people than black live in poverty, yet blacks commit crime at far higher rates. For statistics see FBI and DOJ crime data:

Germans save around 9 to 11% of their disposable income, of which the average (post taxes) amount is around 25-30.000. This puts their annual savings to around $2200 to $3300.

That's nowhere near being able to save 30-40% of your pay, as the parent said. And Germans are some of the biggest savers in Europe. For places like France, crisis stricken "PIIGS" (Italy, Spain, Portugal, Greece etc) and especially the UK it's even worse.

A major issue is that in vitro you have the luxury of many attempts to get the right result.

Here's a somewhat simplified but illustrative example:

Say you have 10 mouse embryos. You use CRISPR, then check them for whether it worked out as expected. Only one of those embryos is as desired.

That's totally fine, and massively accelerates lab research. But you can't apply those numbers to something like human embryos ethically.

I think (and people I know in academic science agree) that CRISPR is awesome for research science, but that it's going to take some time before it's directly useful in the clinic. And even when it is, it's likely to be useful in a subset of cases where you can check whether CRISPR had the desired effect before introducing the results into a patient. This is still very useful (immunotherapy for cancer for example, another very hot topic these days), but doesn't quite match the breathless statements from the mainstream press.

This work is really nice because it likely reduces the number of embryos (in the above contrived example) you'd need to screen before finding an appropriate one. On the other hand it's still very very hard to get this to work when you have a limited number of cells you can apply CRISPR/CAS to. Progress, yes. Panacea, no.
That may be because not many roadsters were sold and the rarity makes them more desirable. The newer models sell in larger numbers and (i assume) will fall faster in the used market.
WAMP is a protocol, Wangle is a framework that you can use to implement protocols (like WAMP), crossbar is a broker (an application that implements the protocol using a [python] framework. So it's not a direct comparison.

This article makes some good points, although ones that have been made a lot recently, but it hugely oversells the regress argument.

If that was happening, it should be quite easy to measure in some areas: 5 year cancer survival rates should fall, corn yields should drop, and so on. For the most part, we don't seem to see that.

If it was all some sort of faith, and the bad findings were accepted, we should see more-or-less random changes instead of steady improvement

I doubt it would help to point you to anything specific, since you've managed to not find for yourself any of the wealth of relevant information that's been written over the past several years, from draft RFCs to LWN articles and Wikipedia articles to blog and mailing list discussions by internet luminaries and even some of their comments in recent HN discussions. At some point you have to actually put in the minimal effort of googling a topic and skimming at least one of the results, instead of assuming that the people around you are making stupid and obvious mistakes.
The idea of providing a summary was that many people are busy and knowing what an article is about will enable them to better allocate the small amount of time they can spend in a day on casual reading - on stuff that they are really intrigued by and feel the need to get deeper into and then they can "read articles, find out what's interesting about them for themselves, and bring the insights they've harvested to others."

I was no way suggesting that summaries are a substitue to actually reading a detailed quality piece. The point of this service is not to replace actual self-reading; but rather - Give people some idea of what the article is actually about so they can decide if they can/should invest time to read it.

Most people don't have time to do all the reading they want to do and having more info than just a clickbait headline will help them allocate their time in a more productive way.

Example this is how Vox.com is showing new articles on its "new" page:

"Big Marijuana is coming — and even legalization supporters are worried" (An activist explains why he left the movement."

The headline and snippet gives you no information what the article is about. You have to actually read 2500 words over 50 paragraphs to know what it is about, in the end you might like it, or be dissapointed, its a gamble.

But by reading a well written analysis you can have a fair idea of what you are getting into before you invest 15-20 minutes of your time into it.

Do this for 10 articles a day and 300 a month, the time you save adds up quickly.

But I get and completely respect your point about why it doesn't belong in a HN discussion. I will do this no more.

I appreciate all the users to supported this and apologize for any inconvenience caused. :)
If you're interested, then go ahead and read about the history of telepathy research so you can have a (more) informed opinion about it. Numerous well-performed and controlled experiments have not find any evidence for it, and in this case, absence of evidence is reasonably strong evidence of absence. Since there are so many other interesting (real) things in the universe to study, I conclude that people who continue to study it are doing so for reasons unrelated to the merits. It doesn't make someone "not a real scientist", but I sure would look askance at their critical thinking skills.

> This EM drive is a case in point. Studies seem to suggest there is a real thing happening here ...

That's not what I see. Every time the experiment is done with more precision and less noise, the effect diminishes again to near the limits of experimental error. That's exactly what you would see if the force was due to thermal (or other electromagnetic) effects rather than novel engineering principles. Nothing wrong with studying it, though. But I'd be willing to bet real money it all comes to nothing.

Edit:

> Is there any data to support your theory that people who are willing to study telepathy are less mathematically able than those who are not?

No, of course there is no such data. And mathematical ability is only tangentially related to critical thinking in the real world.

I just rode 80 miles in a friend's Fiat 500e tonight. The regenerative braking and the stability control are both inoperative with the dash lit up like a Christmas tree with warning lights. They've had it to the dealer multiple times and they reflash the software or something. It'll be good for a day but then fail again. Apparently the workaround is to disconnect and reconnect the 12 volt battery before you start it every time. They're going to try to Lemon Law it.
As much as I am in favour of legalising and controlling drugs (as opposed to the current system) that is a horrible argument that Bill Hicks uses - opiates are legal however I firmly remain of the opinion that allowing recreational opiate use would be a terrible thing

And back on topic - Kill 'em all - native, invasive, makes no difference. As I read the expert concensus, after eradication the likelihood of some edge case eco-dependency being revealed should be vanishingly small, whereas the status quo allows millions of homo sapiens to be sickened and or killed.

That seems like easy math to me.

The sort of problem with relying on peer review is kinda shown in this bit from the Wikipedia article:

Eric W. Davis, a physicist at the Institute for Advanced Studies at Austin, noted "The experiment is quite detailed but no theoretical account for momentum violation is given by Tajmar, which will cause peer reviews and technical journal editors to reject his paper should it be submitted to any of the peer-review physics and aerospace journals."[46]

Basically, merely having a lot of replicated experiments isn't a high enough standard--one has to have a theory of why is works. This somewhat makes sense, but kinda fails miserably for things for which we currently have no mechanism for explanation.

Imagine if empiricists were faced with the nonsense of peer-review a couple hundred years ago before they had any of the knowledge of chemistry or physics to really explain electricity. Hell, imagine how Alessandro Volta would have had trouble publishing his work today when all he had was the empirical evidence of a voltaic pile but no knowledge of the electrochemistry that made it work.

Guess you can view it that way, although I meant that "it's a net positive". Sure makes estimation easier, and gives you higher overall productivity. Consider that if your normal, sustained rate hour only 1/20th as productive as the epic bursts one, you still end up being twice as productive throughout the 40 hour work week.

I think it's unfair a bit to single out NC specifically on HB2-like, voter ID, et al laws when it's a part of a broader national political initiative to push model legislation by one party (skirting the subject, look at the similarity in laws passed in states with conservative legislatures and executives, like how NC finds itself currently).

And Prop 8 is not an invalid counterpoint. CA has a similar dynamic (progressive urban areas with conservative rural areas: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/9d/US_House...) to what has led to the current situation in NC.

Regardless, HB2 is an embarrassing disgrace that NC has to deal with.

What I find a bit funny about some embedded stuff is that I don't think performance is always as important as in other systems.

Consider something like Nest. If it takes 50ms or 500ms for the thermastat to respond, what is the implications. Compare that to a webpage, and all of a sudden, performance isn't a prime factor. Another example is a decibel meter I'm currently building. I need it to send data to a server when sounds reach above a certain level. How important is performance in that scenario. As well as things like Amazon's nifty little ordering button, I'm quite sure performance doesn't really matter on that.

So, in devices where performance is a primary concern, at the moment, javascript probably isn't the way to go. Though, with progress in things like asm.js, that may change in the near future too.

I'm not suggesting this is the tool for everything, but as I look at it, IoT probably has fewer use-cases where performance is a primary concern than other environments.

Of course, probably all safety systems, self-driving cars, drones, etc. etc. are not recommended to be done in JS... yet.. :)

I've been to Vancouver and it wasn't a very pretty sight.

The amount of homelessness and crime is 10 times more what I've seen anywhere else in North America.

There's an entire section (several blocks) in the Downtown area that's full of homeless people and the streets smell like urine.

Shops even in areas far away from downtown put posters on their windows saying they don't hold cash overnight. i.e. please thieves don't break in at night because you will not find any cash.

At the same time, Marijuana seemed like it was very easy to obtain, and for free too! There plenty of shops that give it away for free "for medical purposes". Some of them even advertise that they have a doctor who will prescribe it for you in case you don't already have a prescription!

I know correlation is not necessarily causation but easy access to Marijuana was the only significant difference between Vancouver and all the other cities I've visited in North America.
