c is a bit more established than "scientific fact" like the behavior of atoms were once thought to be, it is very mathematical, as is the curvature of the earth being > 0. In principle new data could come in showing these things to be false, in the same sort of way twice 2 may not be 4.

Another similar fact almost beyond experimental disproval is https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Identical_particles
Many suspect spacefaring will require us to become quite small indeed. It will become ridiculously uncompetitive to drag around a meat body and pressurized environment.

Think of something like The Field Circus from Charles Stross's "Accelerando".

CPU? Never had problems with it.

But it literally rapes my HDD while updating(anytime it wants) or it's AV scanning disk(and you can't turn it off)

It makes my desktops unusable.
I'm sorry, but I think this comment severely misrepresents what happened and the precedent it helped establish.

First, the firmware update didn't remove support for a feature, it explicitly blocked certain user space software. It forced consumers to use Sony's PS OS rather than an alternative like Linux.

Second, it helps establish precedence that hardware vendors can have control/part ownership of hardware after you purchase it. Gone are the days where the computer you purchase pre-assembled is your own. Now vendors can apparently control what you decide to do with hardware that you purchase. Sony isn't alone in this, Microsoft has been moving towards this for a long time, and Apple is probably the worst offender, but they are joined by most hardware vendors at this point.

It's anti-consumer behavior. It probably shouldn't even be legal, but yet corporations can get away with it, so they continue to do it since it aligns with their best interests (barriers to competition).
Not a vegetarian but I do go out with many Indian colleagues who are vegetarian and have family members or friends who dont eat meat.

I do agree with the assumption that western vegetarians tend to want meat replacements. The biggest difference for me was seeing how a lot of Indian cuisine is actually unhealthy. Most everything is fried in oil or has so much clarified butter its unhealthy. The Indian diet (at least the people in my office) seems more unhealthy vs the western vegetarian diet and several people in my office have had heart attacks.
For me, it has the feeling of being more of a PR stunt than a sincere effort to help education. Plus, its an opportunity to build brand allegiance at a young age.

I would rather Apple donate an equal amount of money to any of those entities out there which help to bring technology to the youth.

Am I misinterpreting something? It sounds like you're upset with PayPal because you tried to make a payment from a country other than the one on record (which trips every fraud detection out there) and that they tried to contact you for verification with the number they had on file which you haven't updated in 15 years. That sounds like reasonable behavior from their end.

Yes, but that test only applies to official apps... Do we have usage data on those? Especially taking into account very good apps already existed and most users probably couldn't be arsed to switch to the official one.

Those official apps have lots of downloads, but don't be fooled: I bet most people downloaded them because of the free three months of reddit gold you got when you logged into them.
Here is my own selfstudy process...it works for me...

You can take whatever university degree. Read list of mandatory subjects. Take sylabus and list of recommended literature for every subject. From list of resources take one or two and read them. Almost every course has some fundamentals and introduction to X, to get all students on the same starting line. What you will not understand just ask someone more experienced or google it. Experienced colleague* he wil tell you some hidden notes or let you know this is not so important for your future career if dont wanna be xyz. Take just one and intensive course for month.

We are not fulltime students so we dont have such amount of time dedicated for study.

*you need to have trustworthy colleague who will support you. I know some highy skilled professionals but communication and learning from them is very difficult.
Five pages? I thought these things were meant to be shorter than plain-English contracts. I draft and review contracts daily and five pages is long for basic things (employment, NDAs, IP transfer etc).
I've tried the beyond burger[0], which is similar in that they're both trying to be meatless meat burgers. I don't know if they taste anything alike.

The beyond burger was interesting. It was the closest to a meat patty I've eaten, of all the beef substitutes. It cooks and looks like a beef burger. However, the taste and texture is only reminiscent of meat. Against, it's the closest I've seen anyone get. But it's not a beef burger, and it's worse for inviting the comparison. I'll stick to bean burgers for now. I hope this impossible burger is better.

I think you may be going into precog territory while looking for a needle in a haystack. Some of the common patterns seem fairly well documented: disaffected male, mental issues, history of abuse, affiliation with radical islam. But most experts seem to believe finding a key indicator before hand is really impossible since you will also label so many people who will actually resist the urge to violence. The Orlando killer popped on the FBIs radar twice and they couldn’t make the call with all the expertise and experience the organization has. Machine learning a data model to predict violence will have so many false positives as to be either useless or used as a totalitarian hammer. [1, 2, 3, 4]

That's why a pasted http://www.slideshare.net/BrianTroutwine1/erlang-lfe-elixir-... - slide 96 (I can't find a direct link). Elixir sits above golang but way below Java or C++.

Touche.
It's a judgement call for the pilot whether or not the damage caused is up to that $500 cost. Your Phantom will be in pieces if it flies in a tree (been there), while a tree will get a broken branch. In that case, you don't have to report anything. But if your drone runs into a traffic light, you better believe that's worthy of a police report and insurance claims (and by the way, there isn't any commercial drone insurance yet, but I'm hoping soon there will be).

Dimagi India Is Hiring Technical Project Managers
Whatever else is going on, I feel a great team ships, reliably, repeatably.

Much can be, has been said about team formation, I only have two contributions.

Empowering individuals is magic. When every team member is emotionally invested, committed to the shared success, great things can happen. I tried to accomplish that thru building trust.

I've sought to do this thru democracy in the workplace. Most of my team's decisions have been done via voting. Roman Evaluation for hiring, go/no go decisions. Approval voting for bug triage. JADs for project scope. Averaging everyone's estimates for schedule. Individual essays then shared with the whole team for post mortems. Etc.

Basically, I did whatever I could to build trust within the team(s) and beyond. For my role, that mostly meant honoring, enforcing the team's decision making (vs pulling rank).
Perhaps more emphasis could be placed on selecting for "curiosity" as a positive trait in the hiring process.

Instead of, say, "5+ years of MongoDB".
To travel faster than light, you'd have to skip places in space instead of moving through them continuously. So you'd be constantly appearing out of nowhere.

Well, I'd be very surprised if Leroy had said anything else. FP is his field, after all. But this view is far from the consensus in the software verification community. Bear in mind, though, that both (somewhat intersecting) disciplines of PL (especially FP) and formal methods have a lot to answer for. Both have made a lot of grand promises over the past 30 years, and both have failed to deliver anything near what they'd promised.

Not even close. Just because Visual Studio will automatically download packages from NuGet when you click 'build' before it executes MSBuild doesn't mean your build server does, or when executing a build from the command line. They are two completely independent tools with almost no integration with each other, beyond maybe stuffing an MSBuild task in to handle nuget package restore before it loads any plugins.

With Maven everything is in ONE tool, and the ENTIRE configuration for the build is contained within your pom.xml. Custom maven repositories, what build plugins need to be installed, how the build plugins are configured, project dependencies, relationships between multi-module projects, what mojos run at what phases, it's all in a single easy to read, declarative XML file. MSBuild is a giant clusterfuck compared to Maven, and it's integration with NuGet is shoddy at best.

NuGet doesn't even allow me to specify repositories on a per-project basis to this day, everything has to be specified globally. There's a LOT more configuration required to get my build server set up to build .Net apps than anything compiled with Maven.
This article presents evidence that Appelbaum was a creep, but theres a big gap between creep and rapist. Pseudonymous accusations don't make for very compelling evidence.

Regardless, my intuition is inclined to accept his guilt, not that I, or almost any of the internet commenters, are really qualified to pass that judgement.

But when these cases arise, I can't help but think how easy it would be to manufacture a rape scandal, especially against a charismatic man, especially if they're a creep. I would think that security-minded people would be the first to realize this, but alas. Every time there's a public reaction like this, with the accused being fired and publicly shamed before any rigorous investigation even begins, we show potential defamers that the strategy works. It's a hard problem, because we want to support victims, but we can't ignore the fact that the accused could be the greatest victim of all.

We have to postpone judgement in cases like these, until stronger evidence emerges, else we risk creating an environment where everyone has to live in fear of false scandals. We can't let that get in the way of reporting on the case, but at least we shouldn't give any credance to crap like the "skewering" article refuting Appelbaum's denial [1] (what statement of denial would have convinced the author?) and we shouldn't be respecting statements like in the Wired article [2]:

Shepard also says she’s spoken directly with one of Appelbaum’s alleged victims, who told Shepard in February of this year that Appelbaum had raped him or her. “Sadly… I think it’s the damn truth. He’s a charismatic, socially dominant manipulator,” Shepard writes to WIRED. “I absolutely believe the accusers.”

He's a charismatic, socially dominant manipulator, therefore he raped this woman? Does muscularity implicate someone in a mugging? The fact that you spoke with someone who spoke with an alleged victim and they were convinced, is meaningless, considering how many people are convinced of Appelbaum's guilt without knowing almost anything about the case.

Another distressing characteristic of apple's tactics is that it increases social inequality. (Let's set aside those irrational SJWs that have arisen lately - there can be a rational approach to social justice).

There are some pretty clear demographic divides in apple users vs everyone else. Apple could have donated to non-profits that especially serve under-privileged people, especially financially disadvantaged children.

Instead, they are 'educating the youth' in a way that is automatically biased towards the most privileged people. Outreach programs won't change the fact that they are locating it in their stores.

(Edited the adjectives for SJWs)

Compliance Officer in financial sector in Luxembourg here.
The request you have received is related to anti money laundering regulations. As you guys seem to be based in Germany. So bear in mind that PayPal operates across the European Union as a Luxembourg-based bank. Anti-money laundering regulation is typically stricter in Lux than in the USA. The Lux regulator is the "CSSF", and you can find the detail of the regulation here: http://www.cssf.lu/en/supervision/financial-crime/aml-ctf/la...

It's really unfortunate that Imgur took such a turn for the worse.

Originally it seemed like Imgur was a benevolent gift to Reddit users... a clean, simple, easy to use image hosting service that everyone could use for free. I guess it was too good to be true, because now it's tricky to link to a direct image (though not impossible), and the standard landing page is filled with unnecessary clutter.

As an aside: if you're looking for an amusing read, the "IgnorantImgur" subreddit[0] is filled with examples of people from the Imgur community who seem to be oblivious to Imgur's origin as an image hosting site for Reddit users.

Crimes. Yes.

But payday loan companies and credit cards that charge 29% interest plus hundreds of dollars in feeds to "help people with poor credit" are fine.

Supporting US government entities in defense that kill tons of innocent people every day; that's fine too.

Self regulating? Man that works so well, especially in 2008. We're going to let you keep doing that too.

Weed stores in states where it's legal? Hi it's the DEA. We're confiscating these accounts for you. Here's a fine (at least until later this year, but still only for medicinal marijuana)

It's a cluster fuck of bullshit. Of course you can always use a different payment provider, but with PayPal being just so damn easy with very little competition, it's like saying if Amazon removed your eBook, just publish it somewhere else. The trouble is the distribution networks are so big that they become the only means of distribution. If you control 90% of the market and shut down a DropBox competitor, you're choosing which companies succeed.
"A Fire Upon the Deep" explores a related concept.
I agree to an extent. I also drive "like an idiot" and haven't been in an accident aside from being t-boned in traffic when a very old person didn't stop for a red light. I'm also very engaged while driving and pay lots of attention to everything going on around me. I don't listen to music or eat or have children or do phone calls while driving. I also consider driving a hobby / sport and value continual life-long improvement in it. I practice in realistic driving games and I've been doing so since I was very young. I'm very interested in participating in track days and auto cross events. I do most of my own car maintenance, drive a manual, and I know how my vehicle works in quite deep detail. I also know how it handles at and beyond the limit, when it will break loose in the front and rear, how quickly it can stop and accelerate, how hard it can swerve.

This app and the related one about insurance liability (posted here maybe a week or two ago) would unfairly rate me, because I go against the risk model and win consistently. I also agree that there are MANY "safe" drivers whose indecision and timid driving leads to bad situations; merging at 45mph, slowing way down for ramps, stoping at yield signs, driving under the speed of traffic, braking unnecessarily in traffic, etc. However, since in my situation, the insurance company gets to charge me a lot more, they're incentivized against modeling drivers like me as less risky than someone who is involved in more accidents than me but drives well within the limits and doesn't understand what happens when they approach or exceed them.

Great points. There is a restaurant in my city that serves exclusively vegan food, from lunch and dinner entrees to bakery sweets.

It's actually one of my favorite restaurants (despite not being vegan) but it's very difficult to convince my non-vegetarian/non-vegan friends to go try it with me.
It's one of a bunch of mathematical conclusions of Special Relativity (the most famous one being that objects at rest have a "kinetic" energy of mc^2). I'll try to explain it simply, without the math:

Imagine a friend and you, moving very fast with respect to each other. You measure your friend's clock as advancing slowly (due to time dilation), on account of the fact that he's moving with respect to you. But your friend measures _your_ clock as advancing more slowly than _his_, because motion is relative.

The way to reconcile this mathematically is to give up on absolute simultaneity of distant events. In other words, when two things happen in different places, at the same time according to your clock, they happened at different times according to your friend's clock. This is analogous to how you measure your friend to be in different places in different times (because he's moving with respect to you), but he measures himself to be stationary, always in the same place. To recap: If comparing things at different moments, "being in the same position or not" is relative to the observer. If comparing things at different places, "happening at the same time or not" is relative to the observer.

That's how causality comes in. If your friend tosses a very fast ball at you, and the moment you receive the ball you start towards him faster-than-c, you'll arrive where he is before he tossed it (if you went fast enough). That's what the equations say. Now the breaking of absolute simultaneity allows naturally for disagreements on what of two things happened first, assuming they happened far enough from each other that light couldn't cover the distance in time. But by putting faster-than-c velocities in the equations, we have your friend and you disagreeing on what happened first (him tossing the ball, or you arriving where he is?) in what (to him) is the same place. And it's not just a confusion of the mind: all your measuring and recording artifacts will agree with you, and all of his will agree with him. The mathematical conclusion is that if you can send information faster-than-c, you can send it back in time and break causality.

Are you asking for model aircraft or drones? I believe that if your intent is to make money from the beginning, it classifies as commercial usage vs hobbyist. But if you post a video from a drone and it winds up going viral afterwards, and then you get a payday, your original hobbyist intent still counts. If you intend to make it a career, get a commercial pilot's license, so that you can fly aircraft and drones under the same license.
My method for "earning to give" was to push my career and learning as quickly as possible so that I always have a way to fallback if things go south. It worked pretty well, and I got to take the past six months off to work on some really fun and potentially impactful civics-oriented projects.

Well, things kinda went south, and if things go well I'll be back in the job fold in the next month. The break wasn't as as long I was hoping, but it was a great chance to learn some amazing things around civics, data and security. Hopefully the six months will make any future 'good' work take a LOT less energy.

I highly recommend others do it. You don't need huge amounts of income or massive amounts of stored cash to do it.

You are correct on taxes, right in heart on UBI (I don't think technology has sufficiently advanced to produce a cheap enough high standard of living to be a universal guarantee - maybe when trucks and ships can drive themselves and 3D printers can make most things at a push of a button), but I have a rather controversial opinion about automation and humanity's future that I know I'll get yelled at for:

Birth control must be a right or we will outbreed our planet's resources.

Chemical contraception should be provided free of charge to anybody that wants it. The cost will be a pittance compared to the lifetime societal costs of unwanted children mostly born into and stuck in poverty, and doomed to repeat the cycle with their own unwanted pregnancies.
