Light water reactors are inherently safer - the Japanese never had to deal with a fire you couldn't put out with water and they never had to deal with fly ash.

I've made the claim in the past on, for example, my FB feed that American drone strikes are literally terrorism and should be treated no differently than (for example) the Brussels attacks. This has resulted in more than a few hurt feelings but honestly I cannot see a difference. I am American.

Generally we would just use die combinations for anything over a d20. D10s are great for this. We had a d100, but it would never stop rolling. Much faster to roll two d10s.
But... it really isn't. This is kind of the norm for node projects + cordova stuff.
My issue is not default encryption, which I think is a "good thing"™. It's that if you say "Thunderbird: Encrypted by Default"™, you give users a sense of security that is at least partially an illusion. This is something we would roundly criticize Google for if they were to say, for example, "your email and searching is secure because you are using SSL". I feel it's incumbent on an organization like Mozilla, one that I support at least partially because they are not building a platform to advance their own interests, to be very clear that email is encrypted en route, but not necessarily secure.

I'm guess I'm viewing it from a communications angle.
Mutable languages fundamentally can not replicate the totality of Erlang's fail-first approach because the possibilities of partial state updates are fundamental issues. You can personally write code that is still fairly safe to use that way, but you're doing it by hand without compiler/runtime support, and you can't control your libraries.
I am in the same boat and I simply quickly go through the 50-100 posts of the sites per day. I actually open maybe 10% in the browser. Following small sites and blogs about your interests gives you the best quality of the web in my opinion.

Unfortunately, no.

BCD as "binary coded decimal" is, effectively, useless. Even arbitrary precision libraries tend to be faster than BCD.

"decimal floating point", which is what I think you meant, just changes what isn't representable. Instead of 1/5 causing a problem, 1/3 causes a problem.

The "classic" problem about this is matrix operations. Specifically, matrix inversion. You can use interval arithmetic on matrix inversion, and you find that the intervals blow up to almost infinity after just a couple of operations even though the center of the interval is actually pretty close to the solution. Of course, the reverse also holds: while most matricies invert relatively cleanly, there are always pathological cases that really do need humungous precision to invert.

Dunning-Kruger actually said everyone is bad at self evaluation, not just the low skilled.
You can't see any difference between an attack in an extremely public place that indiscriminately targets civilians in an effort to kill as many people as possible and targeted attacks on specific targets with sometimes unfortunate and unavoidable collateral damage?
Learning to Simplify: Fully Convolutional Networks for Rough Sketch Cleanup
If a foreign power blew up my wedding with a drone strike because they thought someone there was on their watch list (correctly or not) I'd be likely to take up arms against them.

I don't understand how anyone can think this isn't going to happen, wouldn't matter that I'm an atheist not religious or anything else either.

Shit is all fucked up, We should never have gone into Iraq the second time and the case for Afghanistan while stronger was still debatable.

Because people at other countries can pay and see the content freely, but we foreigners can't do it, no matter if we want to pay for it. Netflix just says to us: "sorry, we don't want your _kind_ here. Keep your money and go somewhere else". (I am also in Switzerland).

Technically, if you own a restaurant, you can refuse to serve anyone, they are not entitled to your food and service.

A question for the startup founders on here: How much pressure is there to sell when someone comes knocking like this with millions / billions (Guess its hard to say no to Billions)?

My guess is that if you have a lot of investors, they might pressure you to sell so they can get back on their investment?

I think a human has a better chance of determining which inputs are false and which are reliable. I'm also not talking about a random person there.

Not only that, but the media players available let you use downloaded subtitles, in some cases automatically fetching them.

Thank you for doing this! It might help in your campaign to compare "terrorism" as the US media puts it, and George Bush's "Shock & Awe" campaign -- designed to intimidate and scare their enemy for a political purpose :)

For a start, the drone strikes are at least claimed to be against strategic targets and not just indiscriminate killing of civilians. That's something that can't be said for the likes of the Brussels attacks.
Because that would be trying to muddy the waters.

White privilege refers to the privilege people have for the accident of being born white. Economic privilege refers to (in some instances) the privilege people have for the accident of being born rich.

Donald Trump is a mediocre businessman, but he's a billionaire pain in the ass because of the power and influence he gained by having a rich, white father.... but if you took his kid and Russell Simmons' kid and threw them both in a nice car and drove them down various roads, one of them is gonna get profiled by cops a lot more than the other, and it's not going to be Trump's.

It isn't unavoidable, don't fire the damn missiles from the Drone.

I'm really sorry for you, there ARE better places to spend the majority of your life if you feel this way about your job. I'm a developer turned manager, I care deeply about the code we write. My Boss (Director of Engineering) and his Boss (CTO) care about the code we write. Hell even our CEO cares, though for different reasons. Good well designed code is not easy and it does take creativity. If you don't work for a place that allows you some measure of that, leave. It's not an easy skill to learn and there is a huge amount of demand, we do not have to deal with crappy environments.

I'm really sad this is the top comment here. It doesn't need to be this way. For reference I'm been a developer for over 15 years and I know why some developers feel this way but they shouldn't have to and don't have to.
So I've just come across i3wm after reading both your comments, it looks great! :-)

I suspect this factor is the likeliest explanation for the leak. Investors would have access to financials anyway and I can't think of what benefit it would bring to corporate employees.

I wouldn't be surprised if they are foreign drones flying over US soil. Probably not weaponized but I'm sure there are plenty EU/Asia/ME fugitives that are hiding in USA, so that reconnaissance drones would be fine.

Its not like government of ME countries is fine with drones taking out their citizens, whether terrorist or not.. they get paid money and for sure more than just that.

A lot of mathematics doesn't correspond to anything happening in the known universe. Mathematics describes infinities, infinitesimals and uncomputable numbers that are only hinted at using symbols which are not to be confused with those numbers themselves.
If you are against any use of force which could have collateral damage, then you are effectively against any use of force. That's a principled stand, but not actually very realistic.

That's true for some, but not all things usually classified as terrorism. For example the IRA bomb aimed at Margaret Thatcher, with other people being collateral damage, was considered a terrorist attack at the time, even though its goal wasn't to indiscriminately kill civilians. The Greek group 17 November is another example, which exclusively carried out targeted assassinations (their first success was killing the Athens CIA station chief). The term is a bit fuzzy, though, so quite a few different kinds of attacks get grouped under it depending when and who we're talking about.
If Postmates wants to keep doing well, they need to improve their customer service. A restaurant significantly overcharged me (or the driver bought dinner for himself?) and they wouldn't refund any of it. There are tons of similar comments on the app.
I'd have agreed with you completely on that if it wasn't for the drone strike on the wedding. Once that happened I could no longer call these strikes specifically targeted attacks.
What Americans Listen to While Commuting
Employed properly, drone strikes against legitimate targets [e.g. Military bases, arms shipments] are perfectly reasonable and effective.

Really the only problem we have is the fact the US keeps using it as a tool of assassination which results in too much collateral damage:

More of the same, but the structural glaring desktop failures continue.

Yep -- I want to watch tv shows on the night they come out so I can talk with friends about them the day after. Nearly every per-episode-purchase vendor lists them the day after (most likely because the networks that air the shows require them to wait). It's dumb, and all it does is push me away from paying them more than they'd make on advertising from me anyway.
"political purpose" in this case meaning deterring people from attacking us.

I'm no fan of how Bush handled things but painting flying airliners filled with civilians into skyscrapers filled with civilians and hitting government and infrastructure targets after publicly declaring war with the same brush is ridiculous.

I newly joined this company, and they have 20 years old codebase which is mix of C and Scheme code. The only way they debug the massive Scheme part is using print statements. And I only have bad things to say about that. :( If there's a better way all of them have been missing, I'd love to hear that. I've learned that they have adapted the MIT Scheme implementation to add Object Oriented features, and it "kind of" works like an object oriented language, except when it doesn't - which happens a lot. It's a mess.
This is where I have found myself as well.
A scientist attempting to find a cure for cancer accidentally mixes up some chemicals and causes a huge explosion which results in 1000 deaths. Alternately, a terrorist sets off a bomb in a public place killing 1000 people.

Should they each be charged with the same crime and receive the same punishment?

Putting a wire or a signal across a border doesn't change content licensing between businesses operating in different countries. We wish it did but it doesn't.

That's like saying "you can't see any difference between killing 10 people and killing 100 people"? Uh, sure I do, but doesn't mean that necessarily means you have to treat them differently. There are a practically infinite number of variations on how murder can be done but they're all murder. And in our case, they're all terrorism. Doesn't mean you need an infinite number of consequences for them.
My father-in-law is a project manager for a gigantic construction company, so it was interesting talking about estimation for him. Estimates are much more predicatble in his field, even when working on multi-million dollar projects with timelines that span several years.

The difference was that in construction, the same subprojects have to be done over and over again, so subcontractors can easily be given and held to realistic deadlines, and your only bloat comes from the usual hiccups. On the other hand software engineers _by definition_ estimate things they've never built before. If they've already built it, they can just port it over and start working on something new.

Combine that with everyone's tendency to underestimate, inability to determine unknown unknowns, and the usual hiccups, and we're left with the usual refrain: accurate software estimation is basically impossible.

"vast majority"? Maybe.

But anything which uses matrices (aka. systems of linear differential equations), always runs into some pathological cases. Quite often, they aren't even uncommon.

Systems which have vastly different time constants in the same system are ALWAYS a problem. Simulating RF circuits or phase locked loops is always an issue.

Computational fluid dynamics always has boundary conditions that challenge infinity/zero and drive the solver crazy.

Something as pedestrian as simulating basic cotton cloth accurately is problematic (the warp/weft redistributes energy on a much faster time scale than gravity pulls the cloth down).

A lot of people did a lot of research and put in a lot of programming hours to make solving these problems relatively easy without understanding the gory details.

Is that so? I am not sure. Also this leads to 'I hit you because I love you' excuses.

And that is all they are, excuses.
There is a great deal of difference between joining the military because you want a career and to defend your country (for example joining the Japanese Defence Force) and joining other militaries.

It is perhaps naive to join the US or UK military and not expect to deployed to fight in often pointless wars with no clear strategic goals beyond "something must be done, this is something ergo we must do it".

That said the entire PR effort of both militaries is around serving your country and been the "good guy", it's not until you are inside the factory you see how the sausage is made, remember most of us aren't 18-19 year old kids often from a poor background.

Lots of people do things I think are strange (going to a cold stone building to worship a being who most likely doesn't exist, blowing yourself up because a man who claims a better of understanding of being who probably doesn't exist than you says so etc etc).
Which highlights the same situation, but reversed for US watchers: CraveTV owns rights to some shows that don't appear in the US (Letterkenny), but there is no way to get it in the US. The only way to legally pay for Letterkenny is by VPNing (which would/could be considered illegal in the US as 'circumventing protection').

Drone strikes that hit civilians and a specific target are sloppy assassinations, and terrorism.

SpiderOak started using the term Zero Knowledge commercially back in 2007, in an attempt to explain the benefits of End-to-End Encryption to customers in a market where most participants were making wildly misleading claims. At the time, Mozy and Carbonite were referring to their systems as fully encrypted, even though all they did was transport encryption, or encryption of content and not filenames and folder names. These days, the term seems to make sense to at least the portion of customers who aren't crypto academics. - Erin @ SpiderOak

I'd read that ISIS beheading videos we're for recruiting (besides proving that they'll kill if you don't pay the ransom).

Point here is, all of this doesn't matter. The market doesn't care about "ethics" or whatever. The market only knows one thing: Demand.

And it will do whatever it takes to satisfy this demand. If this happens to be "subscribing to your awesome streaming service", well then good for you! If not, too bad, the market DOES NOT CARE about you.

So you can now either spend your money on lobbying to get these people into jail or try to expand your market and get the people's money into your pockets. The latter being obviously the better choice for both you and your future customers.
