No one enforces international law except the individual nations themselves.

This is different from a national or (in the U.S.) state government, which is typically embued with police and military powers to enforce the national laws.

The state of Virginia has state police and a state court system that will arrest and put people into state prison if they violate a state law. The U.S. has federal police and a federal court system that will put people into federal prison for breaking federal law.

The U.N. does not have a global police or military force. It can be thought of more as a venue for developing a shared understanding of the world, than a government that creates and enforces its own laws.

In this case, this ruling essentially says that most of the world does not agree with China about its territorial claims. This will lend moral authority to the actions of other nations like the Philippines, U.S., Australia, Japan, when they transit and operate in the South China Sea.

No matter what science people tell you, music is not math. It's much more complex than that. :)

After three semesters of majoring in music, I made things easier for myself as a student and switched to computer science, with a hefty dose of math on the side. (I also thought that might be better for employment prospects; I think I was right.)

I've continued to pursue music as well, but wow, those classes are intense.

It looked like the battery pack was just behind the motor, in the nose, on the test plane. Easy to let the heat just flow back from the motor.

Of course, it's a small battery pack.

FYI: I've ridden a few regional flights from Sacramento to the bay that are only about 15 minutes in the air, so the battery life might be as huge an issue as it's made out to be. Use electric for regional hops, and jets for longer "traditional" flights.
First off great job, it looks like you put a bunch of hard work into this. One area for improvement is the images. Currently some of the more information dense ones are hard to read at small sizes and clicking on them does nothing. Perhaps expand them to full size on a click?

One of my biggest problems is that what you say is true in the way you mean it but it isn't really true. The way an employer gets at it is passing along all plan costs to the employees who then have their accounts debited every quarter for those costs. I think making employees pay for the benefit really lessens its effectiveness as a benefit (particularly if the plan has no matching).

Another way this is a problem is that the fees are typically debited from the employees based on their balance in an account. So if a 20 person company has five employees with very large balances and fifteen employees with very small balances then the five employees with the larger balances are subsidizing the other fifteen. You end up penalizing the people who have been the most dedicated to saving for retirement.

It seems like Guideline and OctaveWealth (mentioned in the comments) combat this by charging a recordkeeper-style per-participant fee rather than the percentage of assets that are typically charged by advisors and custodians.

What is the advantage of having a 401(k) instead of a SEP-IRA? My company has stayed small and we are all happy with our SEP-IRA. Our employer contribution seems to be larger than that allowed by a 401(k). I really don't understand why a small company would want a 401(k) over a SEP-IRA.
There is basically one game-review site I really trust, Giantbomb.com. The site was created after Jeff Gerstmann was fired from GameSpot for giving a bad review to a game whose advertising was all over the site at the time[1].

I don't know how impartial they really are, but one of my favorite parts of the site are their Quick Looks. It's just a couple of people playing a game and talking about it. It feels like it gives me a good representation of what to expect from a game.

Guys, he's not talking about the Scientific Method. He's talking about Reductionism. As recent as a few centuries ago, it was in no way obvious to us that the universe was made out of Atoms and Math (as opposed to say, Adam Kadmon and Divine Inspiration). Continental Philosophers spent tons of energy on these types of questions.
Nevermind the premise it's built on is a bit of an insult to N.Ireland "Well we can let people into NI but not the REAL UK where we have jobs and the like".

If an EU person flies to Dublin, walks across the border to Newry, and lives a full life there, has UK immigration policy failed?
Since when were people rational?
The PR effects alone are reason to break ties with the UK, similar to the situation with Panama after the Panama Papers.
I'm already asking international vendors to setup corporate entities in an EU country instead to keep business as usual.
When discussing this only from an EU negotiation perspective I think you're missing the psychological impact Brexit has had on us Europeans (Yes I understand many Brits still consider UK a part of Europe but so does Russia so...). If they want to leave, let them leave. It's over. Good luck, have fun.
So politicians will stop asking "What does the EU think" and go back to asking "What do Germany, France, and the UK think, and are they in agreement"?

The distinction is less important than you think, because the second question gets at the heart of the issue and naturally follows the first. Unlike the US, The EU does not have a strong executive/legislative/judicial (and perhaps more-importantly, a shared language/national history) backbone that ties the member states together.

Also, the UK is still the 5th largest economy in the world by GDP ($2.8T). It may be 1/7 the size of the US economy and 1/4 the size of the Chinese economy, but it's hardly going to be ignored.
All of it is deluded.
And I bet you haven't trained a model in your life.

You don't need the data. You need the model. And regulations like these are already in effect in the US. In banking, for example, it is prohibited to use protected classes (like race for example) or attributes that highly correlate with them, in your models.
But weren't all of these vehicles put in place by the baby boomer generation? And said generation will be retiring more and more in the future and also living longer. This would seem to mean that those people will be moving their retirement money from stocks to bonds or withdrawing it completely. Would this not require an equal amount of investors to take their place? Additionally, if this generation of baby boomers lives longer and runs out of money, is it naive to think that some kind new laws would be required to support them in old age?
6 Characteristics That Make API Great for Application Integration
I think the (seeming) existence (or open question) of meaning hints at least at something "spiritual," but I think it's an extra stretch to paint it as some proof of theism and by association religious beliefs, some of which are (in a secular context) ethically debatable (but which are unable to be debated simply by nature of being deemed "sacred" and the debating of which is considered "blasphemy")

Personally, I think "music" is probably the most succinct example that our existence may not be purely materialistic in nature (... as I crank up my techno of debatable quality lol)

Laws have survived secular debate and been made stronger by it; medicine has survived secular debate and been made stronger by it; why would religious beliefs (if indeed they have something true and useful, nay, meaningful about the world to say) not potentially be made stronger by seeing "what remains standing" after fierce, intellectual, honest, secular debate? They could even start with "the puzzle of 'meaning'" and work from there. Sacrifice the more extreme/intellectually-weak beliefs to save the others, I say! ;)

But beware, there is a rocky road there, which you elect to base religion on: a very interesting blog post linked directly off of this one (http://meaningness.com/nebulosity-of-meaningness) talks about "intense meaning" in the context of an affair.
"We're exchanging something worth money for money" plays a little differently than "we're taking some of your money".
Employer money is going to be a smaller amount of your 401k, if offered, and not always guaranteed, as sometimes subject to vesting so you wont' necessarily get it, but even so that's a stark contrast to pensions and social security, where all of your money is coming from someone else in the future.

The two books I read that I thought covered these ideas well were Code Complete and Code Craft. But it's been about a decade now. Perhaps they're too dated.

Forgive my votum separatum, but:

I would call it "an opportunity". And as far as it is being done voluntarily, and there is a non-zero entry barrier, I am indebted to all those who (maybe) risk their health and lives for possible progress of science, medicine and technology.

Compare it to extreme sports, where there is risk, but often with little or no long-term benefit for the rest of society.

If we restrict ourselves only to "safe", "regulated" and "within the sacred walls of academia" experiments, we will miss (or seriously delay) a lot of things. Especially:

2017 Plug-In Prius Prime: First Drive
I know little of Britain's political system. If Article 50 isn't being invoked until the end of the year, can Britain have another national vote on Brexit before then?
I visited the Republic of Ireland a few times in the early 90's (circa 91-92, long before the peace talks and the Good Friday agreement, certainly well before the British army patrolled wearing berets instead of helmets). I travelled by ferry with my car from Scotland (Stranraer) to Belfast (Northern Ireland) and was never, upon boarding or disembarking the ferry, asked to show any ID (I didn't even have a passport back then, all I had was a paper driver's license issued prior to the photo version you get now).

The only place we were stopped was at the British army checkpoint at Newry. Your car entered a concrete "pen" made up of movable concrete barriers. They pointed remote controlled cameras at the occupants and checked your license plate. If all was well you got a green light and drove on your way, again no id required. If you were about to have a bad day you got a red light and an arrow instructing you to drive into a holding area (or a different barrier operated memory is vague on the details) for further checks.

The border with the Republic (on the old road, the R132 now) was unguarded, you just drove on into "the south".
Interesting fact, this is the first public reference to Pewdie Pie in an FTC action, but the FTC commissioner referred to him during a keynote speech back in 2015. https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/documents/public_statements...
Where is that? My experience has been that flying to Ireland to the UK presents no border control whatsoever, though from London to Dublin I do have to present a passport (as a non-EU citizen) since Dublin routes everyone through border control. I believe that has more to do with it being impractical to set up a domestic terminal.

Interestingly, an Irish or UK citizen born in the British Isles need only convince the immigration officer of their bona fides, even without a passport.
Are you saying "any trade deal is better than no trade deal?". Just because the EU doesn't have one with China doesn't mean Switzerland's deal is better.... than a deal that doesn't exist.
> Is anyone saying that Conrad doing a bad job as a founder CEO will be harmful to white Harvard graduates everywhere?

No, because people have plenty of competing examples of white male Harvard graduate CEOs of startups. So one outstanding failure (or unusual, for the category, success, for that matter) barely moves the needle on the expectations of the category.

> You only "reflect badly" on your peer group if it's a minority.

Well, yes, the smaller the group is in the targeted field, the more significant each example is in terms of the visible outcomes of that group in the field, and, also, the more a group is excluded from a field because of a bias that the group is not suited for the field, the more a failure from the group reinforces that bias.

(I'm not saying that its not wrong, or that its not often the result of people failing to look beyond the superficial to understand the individual factors, because all that's true.)
I happen to agree we should have an election, but I would point out:

1) Unlike EU commissioners, people can vote Theresa May out at the next general election.
2) The UK has a parliamentary democracy. It is not a presidential system. Theresa May was elected by her constituents.
3) Of the 14 prime ministers since the end of the Second World War, half of them (including Theresa May) assumed office between elections.
That's a very good question and a very tough one to answer. In my opinion we the humanity gave up the easy way to a secure and publicly audited hardware when Intel started growing. We lost the battle right there and then. To try and do the same they achieved in 10-15 years but be entirely transparent and auditable... seems impossible right now. :(

However, projects like Raspberry Pi are admirable and are efforts in the right direction (even though recently it has been questioned if it can be hacked the same way that Qualcomm-based Androids can). I recently heard about that 1000-core CPU as well. I wonder if that's entirely public? If it is, it might render the x86 / AMD64 model irrelevant so we shouldn't spend gigantic efforts in trying to catch up with 10-15 years of hard work from Intel.

So probably the general direction would be to make old and good hardware protocols famous by trying to "libre"-ify them and bring them up to speed to today's computational requirements (mind you, I still want to play my games on Ultra settings). Even if we start replacing things one by one, every iteration could decrease the attack sufrace. That'll force the malicious actors to take counter-measures; for example, I'd think trying to outlaw ARM (or economically attack its usage, which is the much more used way of doing things IMO) and only license Intel/AMD for certain applications would be a telling sign that somebody doesn't like what's happening.

I am not a hardware person (wish I was; I am not even electrical / electronical engineer!) but I am a privacy-conscious person, and quite paranoid too. I am sure there's a way but alas, I can't answer you in as constructive manner as I'd want to. I can only do a "boss speak" and be oblivious to the details. And at 36 with a well-built career I am beginning to doubt I'll ever try and become a hardcore hardware engineer in addition to my programming/sysadmin experience.

My apologies if I wasted your time reading this.

EDIT: btw, the linked article is scary....
Long before I went to university, I became obsessed with the Riemann hypothesis and one of the first things I put on my site was a simple explanation of the Riemann Hypothesis. This was before I ever actually studied math formally, so it's not a very authoritative explanation. For whatever reason, this explanation is now on the first page of search results in google.ca for "Riemann hypothesis" in Canada, and at the top of page 2 on google.com. I get lots of random blog posts citing the explanation I wrote, and every once in a while I get emails from crazy people who think they have solved it providing me with their non-sensical proofs.

The problem itself is amazing (even though I don't really understand it). The infinite series is so simple, but it generates so much interesting complexity when you look at it visually:

The U.S. is so far ahead of China in the arms race already that that will not be an issue for decades, if ever. The issue is political will, because ultimately arms only change minds if they are willing to be used.

China's government would have a much easier time justifying violence in the South China Sea to the Chinese population, than the U.S. government would have with U.S. citizens.
Oh, you mean to spell "scheme" I think?

Is there reason to believe that's significantly more secure than just re-using the same (strong) password everywhere?

Personally, I'd feel safer with a unique strong password for every site, even though it effectively requires a password manager (and trusting that password manager). So far, i think most attacks don't usually involve your local computer, people aren't attacking your laptop trying to crack your password manager (I think? Any known attacks of such? I guess I'd assume the NSA probably _is_, but anyway, regardless, I'd rather have unique strong passwords).

EU research funding is also a huge incentive for collaborative research between research groups in various European countries, pooling talents from all over Europe.

Just in case you're interested, bananas are meant to act as natural beta blockers (or more specifically, the potassium in bananas). I have no idea about how effective bananas are in reducing anxiety, but they might be worth a try.
The EU does not control tax law, yet apparently lots of people believe it still has a point. The EU cannot mandate tax or worker rights outside of the EU either. So the only way to stop a "race to the bottom" is to become entirely protectionist and go full North Korea.

Suffice it to say, the EU could have taken many structures that are not the one it has now.
This goes right back to my earlier point with respect to what our society prioritises.

There are more empty homes in America then there are homeless people, but that doesn't mean that the richest country in the world cannot afford to have a roof over its head.

This is not even considering the easy way out, which is more immigration.
An opportunity which comes blind, and with your brain as the stakes strikes me as something more akin to "A Gamble". It might actually be an incredibly poor gamble too.
It may interest folks to know that all Sega Saturn games have their audio encoded as plain old CD audio tracks. You can put your Sega Saturn disc into any old CD player and play all of the music tracks.

Sigh did you read TFA? It's not "just" a matter of establishing effects - article goes into why it's not that straightforward ... as another commenter said TDCS is like using a sledge-hammer to tune a piano. We know that TDCS does "something" but all the hypotheses are "two tailed" which basically means all you can say is there is an effect - not whether it's a good one or bad one. The pseudoscience is claiming these hypotheses are certain.
It is a scientific image, I believe public domain. Happen to love music and you will find that reading the book. The cover is the first clue. ;)

I highly doubt it would be that direct. A realistic way to do this would be to change the tax structure based on age. Meaning, the only way to extract the money without incurring severe penalty would be to do so after some advanced age. Then put in place a rule that any funds left after death become part of a new social security style safety net. Likely for the ever-increasing number of baby boomers who are retiring and living longer than ever.
