I believe the reason is related to the safety of the driver's position in the vehicle rather than the state of being drunk. The driver's seat is the only one guaranteed to be filled each time the car is driven, therefore car companies have a bigger incentive to care about the safety of that seat than any other seat.

There are compendiums multiple times a year now. It does work out very well for them, the prize pool is $7M and it was launched less than a week ago.
It has potential, but the documentation is full of TODO, so it's hard to say much about it. For example, I was trying to figure out how it handles unicode, and also how it handles memory management.

For comparison, ribs2 ( https://github.com/Adaptv/ribs2 ) is a framework in C that handles garbage collection for you. But it's not really a comparison because Balde doesn't have the documentation, unfortunately.
All of those have piles of competition that make a bunch of money, except maybe Wireshark. In fact, I'm a paid user of the alternatives (MS Office, Photoshop, Reaper). I have used the free alternatives that you've mentioned, but relative to the commercial offerings, they are functional but clunky.

I think there's still piles of room for innovation on the desktop, both for open source and commercial software. We've reached a lot of local optima, but things can still be a whole lot better.

For an example of a Photoshop and Paint.net competitor, check out http://www.pixelmator.com/mac/. They've been around for a few years and seem to be doing quite well. BitWig is a new competitor in the DAW space: http://www.bitwig.com/en/bitwig-studio.html.
If the packaging files are in Git(Hub), raise an issue. A packaging bug is still a bug.
Uber wouldn't be allowed, anyway. It depends on the driver having an ongoing connection. They use the GPS trail for fare calculation.
Fleet cars are also a pretty good buy. They do quite a bit of checking before selling them and the maintenance was very likely by the book.

In the case of India it does. Even though it is changing and they are unfortunately adopting the individualistic philosophy of the west..

I think ObjC has left us with some dynamic habits we don't actually always need, particularly in all non-UI layers. I appreciate the way using Swift has me questioning just how much dynamism and mutability my programs really need. Overuse of things like setValue:forKey: and performSelector: have a bit of code smell anyway and there's no reason you can't replicate these kinds of behaviors, if you really need to, with Swift Dictionaries.
Windows FOR everywhere. No matter that Microsoft says, windows is still a choice. We have all seen shops where windows is just taken for granted, but every senior guy I know has some horror story about MS that makes them dream of a world without.

It's kind of tragic that much of this effort may never pay off: in the process of merging platforms and restructuring API's (that started with Vista and is still going) Microsoft lost the connection to many of its developers, who went to build Web, iOS and Android apps. WPF, Silverlight, WinRT, XAML, UWP: there were too many changes, rewrites and deprecations. Windows Phone, brilliant as it is, did never reach mass adoption and all the effort that went into unifying it with Windows has probably been wasted.

I think developers prefer a crappy but stable technologies with a proven market over uncertain and fast-moving technologies. It takes many years for a new platform to mature and settle down.

Microsoft really needs to stop introducing "upgrades" that require application rewrites in Windows for the next 3-5 years, and focus on getting the Windows Store going.
This is the original title as suggested in the guidelines, but it's not very descriptive. The unofficial extended guidelines suggest using the subtitle or the first sentence of the article. The first sentence of the video is: "It's the great Chinese riddle: How do you feed more than a billon people?"

My suggestion is a variant like: "Turpan Yuanyang Xiapu: How do you feed more than a billon people?"
Forget the batteries look at the cost of replacing aluminum quarter panel which is welded on. For the Model S it's supposedly $15,000+ just for the part then fixed at a Tesla approved bodyshop. That's nuts!

I did the math and for comparison on a $3 million Enzo Ferrari a hood (couldn't find a quarter panel) unpainted and used is about $10,000. http://www.ferrparts.com/en/usd/diagrams/front-hood-and-open...

I like electric but I can't own a car that will cost so much to repair. A $15,000 bill not including labor on a $70,000 vehicle 20% of the total vehicle cost is not worth it.
Windows has had a sufficient built-in virus/malware scanner for a while now. But, I agree, it's now as easy of a target as other Windows 10 machines out there.

Interlinking project has been discussed for the past 30 years. Bangladesh took no interest in taking part in the discussions. Bangladesh only woke up to it when India finally decided to go ahead with the interlinking project. In spite of that the Water Resources Minister has said that discussions will be held with Bangladeshi counterpart and come up with an agreement.

Also saying that "negotiating in bad faith" after the groundwork has been laid is BS. The first interlink project has nothing to do with Bangladesh. The Water Resources Minister clearly stated: "We are going ahead with five links [of the rivers] now and the first one, the Ken-Betwa link [in Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh] is going to start any time now,". The Ken-Betwa Link is no where close to Bangladesh and it has nothing to do with the Brahmaputra river. Read about it here: http://www.nwda.gov.in/writereaddata/linkimages/0723832353.P...
On matters of existential import (and riparian sustainability is definitely one of these for Bangladesh), I absolutely would expect to have in place a binding agreement in perpetuity.

This is serious business for Bangladesh: without the rivers, the flooding they cause and fluvial sediment deposits that come with the floods, Bangladesh ceases to exist just as surely as if the sea swallowed the entire country.
I don't know how much of it can be attributed to the fact that they are required to be peaceful (as a country) by law.
You never noticed the opposition to the Vietnamese war? It is the primary cultural feature of the 1960s-1970s, and then in movies through the 1980s

> India's Interlink project is apparently a reality

(I am Indian.) If you think a planned project from the Indian Government with vague assurances of work going to start "in a few days" is a reality, you need to think twice, or possibly several more times.

The project will most likely get bogged down among environmental concerns, Government red tape, and pressure from Bangladesh.
Do you use XAML? What do you think of it? I've never really been able to get my head around it - although my professional projects are mostly ASP.NET MVC and WebAPI so I've had no real pressing need to learn it.

I'd call linux a direct competitor of MS. There may be no single entity who as done as much with linux, but linux as software is certainly more pervasive than windows.
Battery costs are five years ahead of the predicted price curve:

http://cleantechnica.com/2015/03/26/ev-battery-costs-already...

GM says li-ion pack costs for its Bolt are ~$145/kWh, predicting $100/kWh by 2021: http://www.hybridcars.com/gm-ev-battery-cells-down-to-145kwh...

Tesla confirms its costs are below $190/kWh: https://forums.teslamotors.com/forum/forums/battery-cost-bel...

Batteries are following the same price curve of solar panels, and are about to get stupid cheap.

EDIT: If Tesla is able to drive down battery costs to below $100/kWh, I assure you, EVs won't be the biggest success story; you'll be able to turn every wind and solar generator into dispatchable generation cheaper than coal, nuclear, and natural gas. We'll be off fossil fuels in ~10-15 years.
You know Bangladesh would not exist were it not for India's intervention, right? And when the Indian Army had occupied all of Bangladesh, it could have just stayed there, "temporarily". But it withdrew fairly quickly, and Bangladesh was born.

My point is: if India wanted to screw Bangladesh over, it had ample opportunity; but it chose not to.

In any case: large chunks of Bangladesh is projected to be underwater in the near future, so maybe extra water is not a good thing? ;-)
I think you might be underestimating just how aligned Windows 10 is across these devices, certainly more than Android vs ChromeOS is. (Then again, from what I hear, ChromeOS is starting to creep more toward Android... So maybe that is changing). This is more than a shared stripped-down kernel.
One more for the list -- I got a Mercedes B250e three months ago and have been quite happy with it. It has a Tesla drive train [0] and although the official range is 83 miles per charge, I consistently get around 105. Bonus -- the CarPlay integration is really well-done.

At least in my experience in the US school system, not a lot talks about American behaviour in WW2

Besides the atom bomb, America basically bombed Japan out of existence. So much so that when the atomic bombs were dropped, it was first assumed to be just another part of that night's bombing runs. No major city was less than 90% destroyed.

The issues of Japanese war behaviour comes up very often, and the people have been very outspoken in not wanting to return to a militarised state. I would say that Japan has mostly behaved in a similar manner to Germany on the topic (if with several decades of lateness).

You can open up Japanese textbooks and find the history of the war (and the unrest beforehand that lead to the military getting so much power).

EDIT: another thing. There are movies/TV serials about wartime Japan. Every single one of them highlights the absurdity of the war that people are being sent out to. The lies the government propagated to keep the war going. The punishing of intellectuals for expressing even the smallest doubt. Some even covering how foreigners were mostly thrown out of the country. I have rarely heard doubts about whether we should have bombed Japan as much as we ended up doing.
It certainly is hard to have contrition if all your lines of thinking start with the conclusion that you are never wrong about anything, and work backwards from there
That is not what net neutrality means.

I don't really understand why people are writing off the desktop in general. For engineering and design and lab software nobody wants tablets. I guess this is all niche but it's a big niche.

Do I really want my next finite element analysis package or pattern design software or whatever running on a tablet? Maybe if the tablet is the size of my table or at least as big as all my monitors put together. This category of software is in general a bit crappy since professionals in these fields tend to just accept the flaws of the software and work around them and they just become part of the practice of the field if the software is sufficiently popular.
>>Microsoft really needs to stop introducing "upgrades" that require application rewrites in Windows for the next 3-5 years, and focus on getting the Windows Store going.

Those application rewrites are part of the Windows Store push. Want the latest version of X, then you need the latest version of Windows which, if all goes to plan, will only run software from the windows store. MS has always been very good at turning the updating of third party software into new sales for windows.
No the existing treaty is only for a single region. The Interlink project is much greater and broader in scope and the same treaty cannot be applied to the interlink project. It's ridiculous to think that a small water treaty signed in 1996 can have a scope to cover a project as huge as the Interlink. New treaty/agreement has to be signed and will be done by India in the best interests of Bangladesh.
Gravitational force is proportional to mass; in a vacuum, the only thing that stops heavier things from falling faster is the fact that acceleration due to applied force is inversely proportional to mass, so the mass cancels out.

Drag is proportional to cross-sectional area and the square of the velocity; mass doesn't factor in.

There are two main forces on the falling object, then: gravity pulling it down, and drag pushing it up. Terminal velocity is reached when both are equal. Lower mass means less gravity, but drag is unaffected. Thus it takes a lower amount of speed increase until drag equals the gravitational pull, and terminal velocity is reached.
pjmlp seems to be an expert in a lot of this stuff but I'll throw in one other perspective: if you need to write a native app on Windows, yes, UWP is the way to go, certainly over MVC, WinForms and WPF. But it is tied to Windows...

I doubt the performance improvements are significantly different. It's really about portability (Windows Store) and latest Windows features (start menu, menu bar, Cortana, ink, touch, high dpi)

Also, I hear if you do have an exiting WinForms/WPF app, you should be able to upgrade it to UWP.
Computers, cell phones, and other consumer electronics get cheaper every year for a given level of features and performance. Yet consumers still buy more and more of them.

Certainly I would buy a house if I know that next year it will be cheaper. I need somewhere to live and don't want to have to move over and over again. Nothing about a deflationary environment would prevent lenders from providing mortgage financing. Mortgages were obviously still available to qualified borrowers during the worst of the housing market crash.

How to Rip Blu-Ray to 3D Device
You're accusing others of propaganda while trotting out the old right-wing hobbyhorses of "anti-American intellectualism" and Obama apologizing for American foreign policy.

Your claim that he's making a "pathetic mea culpa trip to Japan," despite the White House having stated clearly that he doesn't intend to apologize for the bombings when the visits Hiroshoma, is itself propaganda.

As has been mentioned elsewhere, Germany and Japan were both incapable of winning anything when the bombs were dropped (Germany had surrendered, and Japan was wrecked,) so the outcome where they won WWII if the atomic bombs hadn't been dropped simply couldn't exist.

The Nit Programming Language
Thanks; really appreciate the reply.

I will go through the links. As you recounted your impression of the A vs. B system, I remembered that I didn't care so much for the introduction as I did for the actual story of building Eishin campus. It seems like his most important principles are to let real usage finish the design and to choose materials that support that as well as completing the work within budget. My gut says: how can Alexander be reductive and non-tacit when he is trying to allow space to be shaped by the people who use it, i.e. directly incorporating tacit knowledge? There is an "us-vs-them" to believing users know something designers don't, I suppose, but it's tempered by the humility of believing the users will do better than the architect advocating for the users. But there certainly are multiple ways to obtain tacit knowledge and involve it in a project.
Of course, one might wonder how Jackson has been on the $20 for this long to begin.
"Air resistance affects lighter stuff more"

This is nonsense. Air resistance is caused by drag and has nothing to do with weight. An arrow will fall faster to the ground than big balloon, despite weighing the same.
Speaking of criticality accidents... apparently Feynman had to convince a army colonel that the team doing the 235U enrichment at Oak Ridge need to be informed about the physics of what they were working with. Had he been unsuccessful, a much larger criticality "excursion" would have happened.

In the setup/practice runs of the enrichment facility they were using big carboys to move uranium nitrate solution. Nobody told them that water (as a moderator) would significantly amplify the chain reaction! According to Feynman, "...the plant would never work, it would have blown up - I swear it would've."[1]

Upon consideration, I'd consider the existence of viruses/malware for a platform is actually a good thing, as it's a sign of openness. If there isn't, it's most likely because there is a central authority deciding what you can and cannot do on the platform.
The Objective-C old guard has had a very hard time dealing with Swift. For a couple years now, every 3 months they have another blog post hand-wringing about what they used to do in Objective-C, how they can't in Swift, with the implicit warning this is worrisome and _needs_ to be reimplemented in Swift, or Swift isn't a serious contender long-term.

Most of the of the community seems to have moved on, with the understanding that of course you can't reimplement performSelector/KVO/(insert dynamic, non-type safe feature that usually just bites you in the ass in the long run) from scratch, but we still have Objective-C that already implemented those features, and we will have it for years, if not decades, to come. Maybe Apple doesn't have to open source UIKit to prove their commitment to Swift (a short, albeit slightly unfair, summary of a blog post last week from another member of the old guard)

There seems to be a general lack of imagination, and lack of understanding that Apple would never rewrite UIKit or other large, existing frameworks in Swift. But, once Swift is more stable in a year or two, maybe you start thinking about new frameworks being written in Swift, with Objective-C compatibility, instead of vice versa.

Maybe you can't write Rails in Swift, but by god, why would you ever write Rails again? There's been two heavily up voted stories here in the past two weeks describing how awful it is to have a career dependent on a framework so dependent on dynamic untyped code. That matches exactly with my experience being pressed into service writing Rails code for a couple months - the development experience felt like the Stone Age compared to Swift, even if I could write a method ~20% faster.
I'm sure their intentions are good but the approach comes across as facile. What's an asshole?

Instead of saying "no assholes", just list the behaviors that define assholes and just say "don't do these things."

If Disqus would simply design their software so it allows users to filter/block whichever users they don't want to see no one would need to be censored or moderated. All the trolls, paid or not, would vanish from a user's view and it would be up to the user whose messages they see. Problem solved.
A moderator --is-- a censor.
And as I've said elsewhere in this thread, most Bangladeshis are eternally grateful that India intervened when they did.

India's leadership has changed since then, however, and their actions in 1971 do not preclude a subsequent change of heart, or even crass indifference to what goes on downstream (which, honestly, is what I believe is happening now). A robust discussion and much diplomacy is in order between the two countries -- the possibility of which the Indian commentariat in this thread seems to be very eager to shut down.
What's the difference - isn't it that same thing? New technology opens up a new market, in which we see fast growth which then levels off?

Advertising sales have been growing for ~100 years, through newspapers, radio, TV and now online. AS new technology grows some of the spending migrates, and the overall market expands.

What is the argument that this is a bubble?
Yes. Many ISPs still do this, both mobile and wired. The latest one I saw was Frontier (in the US).

But India is different. India was instrumental in liberating Bangladesh. The democracy Bangladesh enjoys today would never have been possible if India had not gone to War with Pakistan and defended Bangladesh's freedom. Comparing India with the US when it comes to relations with neighboring countries is ridiculous. US is not a template for maintaining healthy relations with other countries.

I read the book version of this essay shortly before visiting Japan. It is strange to stand next to the one preserved ruined building at ground zero and think that there was once an atomic fire storm in that spot.
So, if it's established that the Japanese government was store concerned with its own political positioning that winning the war or defending the people of the country, and an appropriate response is to immediately bomb a quarter million civilians without any ramp up or targeting of military or government targets?
I do hope Apple unveils a unified protocol-oriented framework for both MacOS and iOS. One that, when necessary, keeps Swift in mind before Objective-C.
