I am saying none of that.

Slavery was horrible. And American people fought a bloody war so it could be abolished.

All I am doing is I am setting some perspective. As some people on the left engage in fallacy that every single white person owes them something because some of their ancestors may have been slaves.

Slave population in 1860 was 12%, 65% was for a single state, that was an outlier.
Often white perps with mental problems, not white supremacists sowing discontent.
Til they have cross-device key sharing, that default would frustrate most of their user base. I'm not sure why they haven't implemented cross-device key share though, maybe it's hard for web?
Java was the original .NET. Read history of Sun vs Microsoft. C# was a result of a merger of Java + Delphi, visual .NET components are based on Borland's VCL design. Many Java developers were extremely allergic to MS and the vibe at that time was "freedom", especially from nasty companies. Java also got its foothold in finance institutions due to easier design of distributed and transactional systems than the prevailing super difficult CORBA which propelled its rise everywhere. If you look at distributed systems, Java is still the king there.
Java has Futures, which are close, and allow similar patterns of code. But they're not woven into the language as pervasively as Promises are into JavaScript. You need to deal with asynchronous-ness explicitly.

There's also, in true Java tradition, a number of competing implementations of Promise based frameworks. The one I've used, Ratpack, defines and uses promises almost identically to JavaScript/Node.js.
Most if not all laws are moral statements. Who may kill and when? How much can the government compel someone to pay for general services? What types of business practices are allowable in our society?

All moral questions.
I am doing none of that.

What is really horrifying is your ignorance and lack of intellectual honesty.
I need to polish it a bit before I release... It's a bit crap since I did it in an hour... at 3 AM, so yeah :-)

I plan on improving on this, adding team play, better maps, more projectiles, some physics etc... :-)
I like this, thanks for sharing. I'd actually like to see a 2x2 of Hacker v Developer and see if any coherent "types" of programmers come out of the woodwork + in which types of organizations they are most at home
I don't think it's awful and immature for different people to have strong opinions on the future of Haskell. There have been honest attempts on all sides to work these problems out. The current haskell.org reflects some of this, as the download page has both Stack and Haskell Platform.

If they cannot work it out there is nothing to be feared by them parting ways. As a community-driven ecosystem, that's the only choice the community members have. Users have no right to expect anything else from such an ecosystem. If users want something clean and tidy, they need to go use something driven by a corporate overlord.
Given that I don't have a smartphone, and use messenger.com; yeah, I wouldn't want it to require a mobile.
First, just to be clear, issue at hand is the title, which states trees CAUSE calmness which CAUSES health.

All the research shows is there's a link between trees and health; aka there's a correlation, not causation.

Best example I'm aware of of "confounding factor" is that there's an obvious correlation between an increase in people drowning in pools and ice cream consumption rates. Eating ice cream does not cause drowning, nor do drownings cause people to eat ice cream. Hot weather causes people to swim more, which increases the odds someone will drown.

All I'm saying is this research does not show causation or look for confounding factors, which might show the correlation itself is a false positive.
Can you give an example for a moral and useful statute that is outside of a common ethical framework?

Oh, by all the possible deities, how I wish that was even remotely true...
Ok, I see. That makes the attribution totally bogus of course, because it could be attributable to just anyone then. Like taking the paintings of a 5 year old and saying it's a very early Renoir or something.
Quoting from a comment on one of Derek Lowe's posts on the subject (http://blogs.sciencemag.org/pipeline/archives/2015/10/15/the...) (note that a large fraction of commenters are active chemistry, medical, or biology researchers):

> The blood you get from a prick will be a mixture of blood from small venules, small arterioles, capillaries and lymph vessels, mixed with whatever loose tissue and cells have been cut by the prick and carried over into the blood. No way you could ever get a reliable CBC from such a sample. Since the kind of general blood tests that this company is targeting are usually CBC + chem panel, even if you could get your chem results from the prick, you still need a normal blood draw for the CBC, so the competitive advantage that they are trying to push (quick sampling by patient at pharmacy, without need for phlebotomist) is lost. On top of that, the variability inherent in chem results from prick blood will be significant for several analytes, like CK and AST (present in muscle so could be raised from prick injury), glucose and lipids (different levels in venous or arterial blood or lymph), etc…

In short, while it might be possible to reliably use only µL of blood for tests, using µL of blood for dozens of tests seems questionable, and the chosen blood source is likely to be mostly worthless.
There's so many things that need to change in the United States for real change to be seen.

We need to pay our officers more and have fewer of them, If you start to pay the good ones a respectable salary you'll get more accountability.

We need to train our officers better, we should have an apprenticeship program that lasts at least five years where the apprentice officer rides around with a veteran UNARMED until he picks up every skill necessary to do a good job in real time, two years of community college and then a year as park police isn't cutting it.

We need to reduce conflict on the streets, Philando Castile knew that his taillight was out, the problem is that in an impoverished and racially oppressed culture these small fixes become tough to handle when you have other bills to pay. The officer was either going to ticket him or give him a warning, neither of which would have done any good long term, and so you had unnecessary conflict. We need to change the laws so that cops aren't allowed to harass people over minor things like taillights/inspection stickers/small amounts of marijuana/jaywalking you name it.

Black culture needs to change, stop selling CD's on the corner with a gun in your pocket and get a job that supports your kids, this "gangster" lifestyle is a result of rap music.

The media needs to fined by the federal government for disproportionately reporting on content that is intended to get ratings and thus adds to the chaos and race baiting. How many people were killed in Chicago last week? Can you name them? The media outlets need to be fined to take away the incentive to over report on sensational news. We need something along the lines of a "Fair Media Coverage Act" that will completely destroy the financial incentive of media outlets that over report on sensational news, this would hopefully have the dual effect of (over the long term) slowing down the mass shootings that appear to be happening every other month. These rioters/mass shooters/cop killers are doing it for the 24/7 CNN news reel and the people tune in because the chaos is interesting and exciting, like a war movie with real life ramifications. Destroy the incentive.

Just some ideas for real changes.
The website does not work for me. I've tried Firefox and Chrome but the only thing that loads is the purple-ish background.
I think people underestimate just how ludicrously hard it is to provide an encrypted experience that's as good as plaintext. Even showing a chat on multiple devices becomes a hard problem. I agree with you that it's a step in the right direction, and Viber and Whatsapp have a much easier problem to solve, given that both only support device-to-device messaging. The only app that supports multi-device chats that I know of is Silent Phone, but I admit to not being very up to date with the instant messaging landscape.
Consumer fridges also consume a lot more energy in the interest of keeping humidity (and, subsequently, frost) out of the compartment. They also run defrost cycles with heaters to keep the evaporators from icing over and locking up the system.

That lack of humidity control is what builds up a secondary layer of insulating frost/ice inside a normal chest freezer. It results in that "cleaning flow" of water inside the chest fridge, which doesn't sound as sanitary or healthy as the author proclaims once it builds up to a significant level.

"The amount of condensation depends how much moisture is in the ambient air and how often and how vigorously we open and close the fridge lid."

Wait. I thought less to no ambient air mixed into a chest fridge cavity according the author.
> an incarcerated one that reduces crime. It is, after all, the point of incarceration.

Do you have any sources on that? The causality is not obvious.
But that's still a moral statement - one that privileges utilitarianism above other philosophies.
i dont even know which version i run, so no idea if i have to be scared or not. updates are way to painful to do regulary on a working dev machine. (lazy linux user here)

anyway i never saved a password, thats exactly my point. There is not a single reason to believe that the apple keychain can be fully trusted, its that simple.
I mean why send in anyone? He was trapped. Eventually he would have surrendered, or come out where the police could shoot him. Sending in a bomb seems excessive.
Some notes:

- Signal does have some multi-device support (the Android and Desktop clients, iOS not yet). I still sometimes have minor issues but overall it works very well.

- Signal does include end-to-end encrypted voice calls (what used to be called RedPhone) that also work quite well. It's my go-to "call from Wifi abroad" solution to avoid roaming charges, and also works very well with a good 4G/3G signal

- The browser issue seems unsolved as of now, WhatsApp's web thingy (routing through the phone) seems to work quite well but obviously only if the phone is on, and WhatsApp requires a phone while FB messenger doesn't so this isn't an option for them.
Net Promoter Score: I just learned what NPS is
It's worth remembering that this does not protect metadata. It's believed (though not known for sure) that WhatsApp logs metadata for their encrypted messages, and it looks like Facebook do the same here.

If you want to resist mass surveillance this is not a good solution.
But he was an active shooter with a deadly weapon, not surrendering. If it had been a police sniper instead of a robot, that would have been no different and perhaps more familiar and expected?
Signal Protocol already supports multi-device. We've encouraged them to enable that for Secret Conversations, and hopefully they'll continue to iterate towards support for e2e by default.

That's kind of the point though. It's supposed to be difficult for police to kill people prior to their trials.
Credibility isn't binary. Facebook was way down to 0% on the credibility scale, and now it's up to 5%. Let's applaud this move instead of being hostile when they're trying to improve, because the only thing that will achieve is to discourage improvement.
While aerial lethal robotic forces have been used for years, this is the first time I've heard of ground-based lethal robots.

It's amazing that it's happened first not by the military in a war situation, but by domestic police forces against it's citizenry.
Don't know about other poster, but I always thought that while you can make docker images for Java apps that include the Oracle JRE, there are restrictions if you want to distribute them - see http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/terms/license/... . The no modifications clause is problematic for GPL software.
>Go doesn't have the guts to replace Java, because of the hostile mindset of its community when it comes to writing reusable, general purpose libraries. the famous "you don't need that with Go" is something pushed by go maintainers themselves.

Go has a pretty comprehensive stdlib. And a huge and growing community of 3rd party libraries. I left .NET and Java for Go around 0.9 and since then I have seen Go flower into an ecosystem I am far more productive than. The Go devs have a bias against complexity, they hate Abstract Factory Factory Singletons :P, but that does have much impact on community developed libraries. The Go community does have a strong bias towards libraries and against frameworks, but IMHO, that is generally healthy. The only concrete example of what you are talking about is the current lack of generics support.
You think that's confusing? The old home page led straight to a wiki, which is still up:

Did you ever watch Oldboy? Did you notice that the criminals in it- are armed with hammers, knifes and wooden clubs? That is because of a very tight weapons control in south Korea. If a society has weapons not wildly available- criminals don't have them wildly available.
And you can sit in your car, waiting for the officer to ask for your papers, only to live in fear that you might be shot for scratching your head, because some poor guy in the trenches prefers coming home at night with lots of paperwork and his face on national TV to not coming home ever again.
I'd say Tesla's main innovation was on the business end: they realized that batteries are expensive, so EVs must be expensive, and trying to cut corners everywhere else to bring the price down just results in a crappy car people don't want to buy. Instead, make it a great car that's really expensive, but so good that it justifies the high price. Any incumbent could have done this, they just... didn't.
Reversible debugging (also known as record and replay) requires making the program behave exactly the same way every time. That way you can "execute backward": at statement n of the program, restart it from the beginning, and stop at statement n-1 (in practice you would take snapshots of the program state along the way so you don't have to re-execute all the way from the beginning of the program).

In the example given here, you could get away with it since control flow doesn't depend on the value of id(object()). But for example, if you had:

if (id(object()) >> 12) & 1:
print "foo"
else:
print "bar"

You would need to guarantee that id(object()) always returned the same value so that the execution follows the same path.
Traditionally, Microsoft technology has been an all-or-nothing affair. If you want C# you also get IIS, SQL Server, Windows, Azure, Visual Studio, Windows on your dev machine and I wouldn't be surprised if Exchange shows up somehow. You could use Mono, but then you were off the beaten path and on your own. When something new appeared from outside Microsoft, such as git, it wouldn't fit into the MS ecosystem for a while.

Now Microsoft seems to be changing its culture, but I can understand if people are weary.
You do make one assumption however, which is: "discussions on the internet, lead somewhere".

Which they don't, therefore you can't say Occam's razor isn't useful. :) funny
I guess I don't understand the need for a new IRC channel. #haskell is one of the best out there, both as a resource and a community. Why split it up?
Exactly. If they can have a robot with a bomb, then they can have a robot with tear gas + flashbang.

This is the Dallas police department, they have equipment capable of dealing with this situation -- to include armored cars and ballistic shields.

I hope the legal process is explored in this case.
> It looks as if PGP's days are numbered.

This seems gratuitously hostile (and, even worse, is irrelevant). PGP is a very useful piece of software, and it does something completely different from Signal, and I'm glad both exist.
>This feels incredibly wrong.

I concur. There seems to be a lack of thinking and willingness to wait things out or backoff. Rather than backoff or retreat the police seem too trigger happy. The Baton Rouge shooting the police didn't want to wait for the suspect so they got aggressive and tried tackling him leading to a scuffle. The MN shooting, if the officer felt threatened he could have slowly backed up to his vehicle until backup arrives and only shoot if/when the suspect actually makes a truly life threatening move. (I know, easier said than done. But we need to de-escalate and disarm regular beat cops [slim chance of that happening now I suppose].)
Yes, unfortunately (and a bit ironically given current events, oddly enough) I feel that much of the whole current "2nd Amendment culture" is directly tied to the same sort of dynamics that have lead to the rise of Donald Trump here (and things like Brexit etc).
These thoughts scare me. Utilitarianism is far from perfect. For instance, would we as a society designate 5% of women as lacking right to their own body and allow any man to have them when he wishes? If the pleasure the men gained is greater than the suffering of the women, utilitarians say yes. And even if you say "No, because the suffering of the women will inevitably be greater," is that REALLY the reason that the action I stated above is wrong? Or is it...that women have a moral right to their body that is not subject to the whims of what is best for society
AFAIK, Germany and Netherlands have very well established frameworks for prostitution, which includes making sure that their tax withholdings and social security deductions are being made from income, etc. No different from any other job in that sense.
The perp had told the police that he was going to kill more officers if any came near him. He had already (probably) killed before, so how is it not imminent danger?

You can't just "wait him out" and hope he won't escape.

I found this very helpful. Thank you for the advice, Sophie.
Genuinely thrilled to see the Signal protocol adopted for Facebook and Google stuff (albeit optionally). Now if we can just get Microsoft and Amazon to hop on-board, we might actually have a shot at getting this standard to be pervasive.
There have been two highly-publicized Autopilot accidents, recently but only one death. And the second one didn't actually involve Autopilot, that was just the driver either being confused or scammy.

I use Swipe for Facebook ever since they got rid of messages. It needs no permission, and while the experience can't be as good as Messenger, it will at least let me reply to the occasional message I receive.

I don't want to be encouraging Facebook's user-hostile moves, so I'll stop using messages completely if they make my life hard enough, but Swipe is a nice stopgap.
You're confusing random variation (which is helped by sample size) and bias (which isn't)
I don't agree with your characterization of Bernie Madoff. He knew he was running a scam. He was clearly lying in his marketing materials, saying his fund performed certain trades that they never did. (See Harry Markopolos' book, "No One Would Listen"; that's how Markopolos figured out it was a scam.) I think Madoff is, at the least, a borderline sociopath. (If not an outright one.) A sociopath may think they can get away with it, and no one will know, but they probably don't think no one will be harmed - a sociopath does not care about harming others.

I think it's possible Holmes fits your description - she was in over her head, never set out to scam anyone, and slid down a very bad path without ever intending to. I don't know this is the case, but I believe it's possible. That, however, is not Madoff.
Judge, jury and executioner. All in a highly charged and emotional moment.

I guess this also destroys evidence?
Perfect, but how do you use these models?

Are you supposed to know all 100's of them by heart and then, in the middle of conversation, go: "Ah, but X principle says Y, therefore we will go with Z option". Is it?
Am I missing something?

I mean, I'd love to use this but I don't have enough brain cells for all of those :)
Autopilot doesn't just give up when it can't handle something. It sounds an urgent alarm telling the driver to take over, and if the driver doesn't, it stops the car and turns on the hazard lights.

Most drivers will take over and disengage Autopilot in doing so, so your point remains, but I wanted to make it clear that the car isn't just doing a "Jesus^H^H^H^H^HDriver take the wheel!" thing.
It's unfair to think of CMU as an 'evil' entity just because of what some people in one particular and small department did.

There's a lot of really good work that comes out of CMU, including the department that helped the FBI.

EDIT: furthermore, SEI was doing independent research into the security of TOR. The FBI subpoena'd CMU to give up the results/contents of the research which is what ultimately helped the FBI do what they wanted.
If you need to ask this question then you don't have the skills to verify that your device is running a secure protocol even if I handed you the source code. There are people out there who do have the skills, and you can be certain that they will be reverse-engineering the distributed binaries as soon as possible. I would be extremely surprised if there was not a lightning talks or two at DefCon or BH this year going over the actual on-device code and how closely it hews to the known protocol.
Ah, you've caught me out on my sloppy use of English.

What I should have said is that the address space layout is a source of non-determinism that would otherwise need to be accounted for in the recording of a program.

Further, I hold to the view that given a program, knowledge of the thread execution schedule/scheduler and the results of external calls, a program's execution should be deterministic.

Thinking about this now, I realize disabling ASLR shouldn't be enough to fix this problem since recording and replaying are sufficiently different.

Just that, say you play one of the survival horror games that people are waiting for to hit VR, you get jump scared and have to run away from the monster and you just blow straigh into a wall. unless of course it starts to show the turning thing way before you a wall (like 2 meters away) which would mean you have to have big room to play in.
I imagine they'll back down from this if Google just says no, finishes closing their Moscow office and tells Russia to go ahead and block them. No way the big cos want to set the precedent and hand out keys to 200 governments.

Just a note, the title is less "lol series of tubes" in Russian. One of those times when using more articles and possessive pronouns would have served Russian well at least for machine translation.
what's the difference between

- Messenger

- plain vanilla messages i get in Facebook web site

- 'chat' messages, were I to turn on 'chat' in Facebook web site

i'm not asking rhetorically. i honestly can't keep up with all the messaging avenues availabale today...
The npm is a mess.

Granted, Maven Central has the advantage of Java being statically type checked.

But CPAN is awesome. And Perl is dynamic. But modules in CPAN are thoroughly unit tested when you install them.

npm is neither. You find incompatibilities when you run it.
Fun fact, first versions of Rust compiler were written in OCaml before Rust was able to bootstrap itself. Admittedly not really relevant to the discussion at hand.
