And for millions and millions of people it was shit. Utter shit. Credit card chomping, crappy zero hour job, minimum wage, second hand clothes, crappy car, no life insurance, no pension, crap.

Yep.

Except for one teeny weeny insignificantly minor detail: these things have nothing whatsoever to do with the EU, and everything to do with the austerity/de-industrialization policies of neo-liberal UK governments, primarily Tory, but to a somewhat less extent also New-Labour.

And the EU was, if anything, a counter to those forces, with structural funds, with labor standards, with investments by non-UK firms in the de-industrialized parts of the UK for access to the common market etc.

And leaving the EU will make these things worse.

So voting against the EU to protest these conditions is not even cutting off your nose to spite your face, it's cutting off your nose to spite someone else's face!

While it deserves the word "pathetic" I can't bring myself to it. It really is just sad. Very, very sad.

Nintendo just moves so slowly; everybody has been telling them for years to just stop developing subpar HW with gadgety features nobody wants and focus on creating mobile games. Pokemon Go alone will probably make more money than their whole last generation; imagine a mobile Zelda game (drool)!
But wouldn't that come under sales? Or maybe product development?

If they were all recruitment experts, that would still be a rather high ratio of expertise to engineering.
Nope, it's not a joke.

This guy just got elected. He was mayor before this, and that's how he ran his city.

You can launch a lua vm with an empty environment table (in other words no standard library). This means only the functions you manually put into the environment table can be used which makes sandboxing extremely easy. I must admit I've only used luaj where interop to java boils down to something like http://stackoverflow.com/a/19629914 and you can optionally use reflection for even easier intertop if I recall correctly.
That's true but besides the point. Imagine Obama, Bush or Clinton calling on national TV for the killing of all drug addicts and pushers.

Seems crazy but people of the Philippines knew what they were voting for. This is exactly what he did when he was mayor of Davao: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rodrigo_Duterte#Davao_City_may...

To play devil's advocate: Drugs and the criminal networks supported by drugs are a massive problem in the Philippines. Police are too weak and too corrupt to deal with it, but this is a solution that works, even if it does offend our first world sensibilities.
Maybe you accept the person needs 20 mg (just a number) of meth to get through a day and put them up in a simple room and board situation. Toss in routine mental help. Something where the society provides the person with a means to live without becoming desperate for a fix.

Why not have Autopilot running and monitoring the sensors to learn the road, but not have it actually take control of the vehicle? Even if the driver is manually in control the Autopilot system could still be learning.
So the solution is to allow people to kill random strangers and then claim that they killed an addict?

Or even better, they will kill competitors/people they don't like and then claim that they killed an addict.
SessionStorage has all of those properties:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/API/Window/session...

localStorage is often used for it's persistance across closing/reopening the browser, but for times when you don't want storage to bleed across tabs or closing the browser then session storage is much better, and unlike a cookie doesn't automatically get attached to request so there aren't XSRF worries.

(You still need to be careful of XSS of course.)
Lua isn't part of upstream GRUB; it lives in a separate module, "grub-extras". As far as I can tell, it also wouldn't be easy to extend that with additional functionality or modules without forking it, due to the way GRUB builds out-of-tree modules.

Note that this port of Python is almost as old as grub's Lua; we've been working on BITS since ~2009, and it has had Python support since May 2011.

For reference, the Python port consists of less than 1000 lines of code, most of which provides compatibility implementations of standard C and POSIX functions that Python expects. (Plus another couple thousand lines implementing additional C Python modules like "_smp", "_acpi", and "_efi", but those are getting smaller as we move more code into Python using ctypes.)
Society. Society is responsible.

The fact that people in the richest country in the world are still having this debate is appalling to Canadians and Western Europeans.

Americans will be the last on this ship, but part of living in a prosperous 21st century society means giving up some liberty (in the form of taxes, limited access to guns, suffering additional government bureaucracy) for the knowledge that getting sick should never be a death sentence regardless of your income level. Neither should poverty. Universal Basic Income WILL happen. After that, anyone who is still unable to provide for themselves and stays homeless needs medical support beyond financial support, because the incidence of mental health issues amongst the homeless is huge. Finally, addiction should be treated like a health issue also.

Now you can say that "it's not fair" that some people will end up pulling more from the collective pot of funds than others. But that's society. It's not about fairness. It's about every life being worth something, and having the potential to put something back into society after their recovery.
How long until Trump says something like, "He's a bad guy -- really bad guy. But you know what he did well? He killed drug dealers. He did that so good. They didn't read them the rights. They didn't talk. They were pushers. Over."

The requirement does not seem to be there for driver-assist vehicles. Also, it's a state-level requirement. Looks like it's just in CA for now. The accidents detailed in the Google reports are all from California.

And, Tesla may be unwilling to start reporting driver-assist accident rates to the public unless the other driver-assist car companies are forced to do it too.

I'll make an addendum to my above comment.
Wow, think about it. On one side we have Elon Musk, who wants to build a city on Mars, make interplanetary travels quick and cheap and he's doing it, there are people who want to kill you for your skin or hair colour. There is PM of Portugal who decriminalised drugs (saying: "drugs break families and relations, and so is facebook. We're not going to ban facebook") and there is a president who kills drug addicts, people in US, UK waste 1/3 of their bought food, Venezuela doesn't have water supplies in hospitals. Truly brave new world.

The really depressing thing is that this is first-year material for one of the most popular tertiary courses around: psychology. It is simply gobsmacking to think that Tesla thinks a human can retarget their attention so quickly. It's the kind of thing you'd give to first-year students and say "what is wrong with this situation", it's so obvious.

This extreme policy also comes with an amnesty program if you surrender to police, with rehab, work and welfare. It's how he cleaned up Davao by disappearing gangsters and offering the ones left this olive branch program.

China and Indonesia dissappear thousands of addicts and criminals every year too the only difference is it's not advertised in the media as a killing free for all. This guy also gave Indonesia the green light to go after Abu Sayyaf kidnappers basically inviting them to invade those autonomous islands.

It's actually not that insane from the perspective of a local voter who has nothing to lose and has a miserable crime-ridden existence.

It's not qualitatively different from disenfranchised workers voting for Trump. It's the nuclear option for people who have no way to profit from the existing system. It just so happens that life is much, much easier in the US so there is no need to consider actual violence when thinking about going nuclear.
People are not responsible for those they didn't vote for. I know, must be a German thing, but how am I responsible for those sick bastards I disagree with, even if most of the others agree? My persuasion powers are limited.

If you find comfort in silence, like I do, I highly recommend the Bose QC25 headphones. There are no words to express the unique feeling of blocking the environmental noise, which is mostly a high volume, low-end, obnoxious hum, especially in a city, in the bus or in a plane. Mostly all sound disappears and the relaxing effect is immediate.

Perhaps I'm too sensitive to sound because I'd been doing audio engineering so I've trained myself to hear details in depth, but they've changed my life in a way I could not imagine. I now consider them essential to my well-being and take them everywhere. I call the little power switch, the 'shut up' switch. Put them on - click - and the world shuts up.

Moreover, the audio quality is /amazing/. You can be city center and listen to low volume classical, crisp and clear. You literally put your ears in a /studio/ while the rest of you is somewhere else. Just magic. They use a battery(but it lasts for weeks on occasional use) and the cord is detachable, so you can use them just to block sound and walk around. Be careful though not to be stepped over by a car because you don't hear them coming. There's a tiny mid-high window still passing through so you can still speak and hear what people say, even clearer than before, since the rest of the environmental noise doesn't mask their voice, which is mostly in those frequencies. Highly recommended.
There's constant talk about the BBC's bias, but looking at the numbers they get approximately the same number of complaints of bias to the left and right, which probably means they're doing a pretty good job of avoiding it.
Most people are tired of at least something that we have collectively agreed on. That's what democracy is. Just because it would benefit me personally (as an educated employed person) to remove the safety nets (and related taxes) doesn't mean I would want that.

We set up safety nets, and people abuse that. We set up extremely complicated (often lobbied) tax codes, and big business are the only ones able to abuse that. Am I okay with it? Not really. But voting for some pompous populist asshole is not a better alternative. We're of course talking about the Philippines here and nothing else.

I don't think you meant to imply that MRIs are a DIY thing, but that sounds lovely. Do you happen to know if it would be available/affordable anywhere?

It's my body. I've done lots of things already that are theoretically supposed to involve doctors or never be done:

I've done minor surgery with a Leatherman multi-tool knife.

I don't pay a dermatologist to pop my pimples. Really, who does that???

I clean my ears. When Q-tips are unavailable or too weak, I use other tools: paperclip, screw, scissors, screwdriver, pen, pen cap...

Being "serious" does not matter. If it did, we'd have condoms installed by doctors.

NYC transit, much of the time, is a relatively well-oiled machine and introducing a huge delay like that would make the city explode in anger.

Yeah, I don't think the guy you replied to is familiar with Manhattan at all, otherwise he wouldn't have said "a limited set of entry points".

I just counted 16 different subway lines entering Manhattan. And that's only counting "1" for each line the MTA map groups together. And that's not counting the PATH trains. Or all the trains that come into Penn Station. Or all the trains that come into Grand Central.

Then there are the bridges. Brooklyn, Manhattan, Williamsburgh, 59th street, Triborough, George Washington. Probably a few smaller ones up in the Bronx that I'm forgetting.

Then there is the Holland Tunnel, the Lincoln Tunnel, the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel, the Queens Midtown Tunnel. Others?

Oh, and there are countless ferries crossing the Hudson River and the East River. Plus the Staten Island Ferry.

And some heliports.

I've forgotten half of it, since I haven't lived there in 40+ years. And my names are probably obsolete. I know that one of those structures was renamed after Ed Koch, but probably nobody in NYC uses that name.

You can certainly enumerate them all if you tried hard enough. So, definitely "a limited set of entry points".

It would be more informative to say "a large and very busy set of entry points".

It can detect a car immediately behind it with the ultrasonic sensors. There is a reverse camera, but it's not hooked up to the autopilot system (just used for showing on the display).

So, no, it can't really detect cars more than a few feet behind it.
Because there are already regular delivery trips to the ISS, and the cost of such experiments is thus substantially subsidized by ISS operations. A cube sat would have a very limited lifespan and cost more than their program budget on its own, besides being too limited to be useful.

If their program proves successful they might be able to raise enough money to put hosted payloads on other spacecraft, one of the best being Iridium NEXT. But for now the ISS is their best shot.
Oh, China and Indonesia are doing it, and he's offering an amnesty program??

As usual, mostly western commentators sitting on their high horses pointing and pontificating with no idea of local context or understanding.

First of all, Duterte was elected overwhelmingly with a clear mandate of using brute violence to clear out drug dealers. He was clear about it and he is delivering on that mandate. I have to accept, he has made a PR error by not calling them terrorists. At which point, he will be sold drones that can also wipe out families in addition to the druggies.

The fact is, you do not get radical progress pandering to western styled hypocritical democracy or "human rights". It's the reality. A harsh one. Of course, I will not be so "logical" if I happen to be at the receiving end of such needed reform. But hey.. it's what life is.

At least, no set of drug dealers are at greater risk because of the colour of their skin.

PS: I am speaking like a man living in a country where some not so nice things will be needed to be done if we are going to ever progress.
No, it's still insane.
Addiction is not a crime, it's a symptom of a mental health issue or a social problem. Treat it as such to fix it.

> many people in this community and similar are tired of people throwing their life away and expecting a safety net.

That's a really disgusting approach to treating human life. These people aren't "throwing their life away", they're broken and in need of help. Why is it unreasonable to expect a society to look out for its weak and vulnerable?
A MITM proxy typically means a decrypting proxy, so you can see all the traffic, irregardless of if it's wrapped in TLS.
But this is overanalyzing, if we use only the "1 fatality in 130 million miles" stat. That 1 fatality was a car driving under a truck at speed and losing its entire top half.

I don't think more expensive cars are less likely to have that kind of accident, nor would it be less fatal.
Are we making the leap that Trump supports killing drug addicts? We could invoke Hillary if we want with her famous statement, "What difference does it make?"

This has nothing to do with Trump or American politics. Not a single candidate in the US has called for the extra-judicial execution of drug dealers or users. Trying to draw an equivalence to Trump is absurd.
I think that's the most concerning part of this (and other concerning but slightly less insane potential leaders around the world) - that the public can be so easily convinced that this is a reasonable choice.

Is it that the craziest plans standout against the two regular options? Or that the regular options hedge their bets and don't appear to adequately address issues concerning the masses?
