In the long run, the more dangerous criminal is the government itself if unchecked. Yes, it is frustrating to have criminals go free because police or prosecutor fucked up -- but government holds both the power of law and the power of (sanctioned) violence. If even they cannot be expected to follow their own law, why are they expecting others to follow it?

Your hypothetical is clear: the defendant's counsel would ask the judge to throw out the case, and the judge would comply. To make it a bit less hypothetical: what if the compelling piece of evidence was obtained through torturing a witness?

(edit: also, a "dangerous serial killer" is not so until a judge has convicted him/her. You are begging the question by presuming guilt)
'Professor Franck Duvell, who studies migration at Oxford University’s Centre on Migration, Policy, and Society, said: “After years of anti-EU and anti-immigration discourse and now the outcome of the referendum we, my wife and I, have had enough.“ '

I guess this Oxford professor finds it pretty tough with his income lowered by folk coming from abroad who'll work for much less and, often enough, insisting on their cultural norms rather than adopting those of the host country.

Or perhaps not. Life on the street and in the senior common room is somewhat different. Those in the latter are largely supported financially by the folk in the former.
Given i rarely read technical books. But i think one learns these things as one needs it. You start with simple setups, pinpoint your needs and go from there. Things like passenger are incredible well documented and make it super easy to do whatever you need to.

In the end i would not want to buy such a book because i know exactly that most things written in their are outdated just a few years later.
I fully agree that it doesn't - but the million dollar follow-up question to that is: Why does it not?

No offense, but you sound like an aging white man slamming his fist on the table and hectoring "what we need is a good war!" at family dinners.

Human rights, and more specifically due process, are not 'Western', they've just been formulated there. Do you believe gravity is 'white' or 'jewish' because it was formulated by Einstein?

And societies that 'get' due process objectively do better: tell me, who does better in social development and public safety, Nigeria or Mauritius? Nigeria or Cape Verde? Conversely, when were Latin American countries worse off, during their "military Dutertre" era, or now? Your position has never worked historically.

You can't _claim_ guilt, you need proof, and to get proof you need due process.
Hey, I pretty much have the same setup you've described except the second money transfer if your current account balance is above a given threshold. How did you solve this?

Coworking has shifted to office lease arbitrage for small companies and large companies. It is no longer about just freelancers. Private offices with some modicum of sound and visual isolation are on the rise (WeWork et al.). Small companies get the flexibility of not being locked into a long-term 5-year lease, with the ability to scale (add desks). Large companies, instead of leasing their own space for a satellite office, can just "take over" a large portion of the desks of a local coworking space. Both get the benefit of sharing common space like lounges/kitchens with others they don't work (breaking out of their bubble).
the guy comes forward and says "I'm going to make an autopilot for the masses". He/We know it's tough to do. The guy release its autopilot. It's not quite ready for prime time. Double problem : the guy goes into a tough business alone, the guy makes stuff that's not 100% ready.

I like it when people try to do hard stuff, that's fine and maybe heroic. But they have to be prepared : if testing the whole thing must take 10 years to be safe and a gazillion dollars, then so be it. If it's too much to shoulder, then they should not enter the business.

So why does Twitter need 3,800 employees? Why does it need 1,500 technical employees?

Sure, it gets more traffic than any of those other sites, but growth has slowed and the traffic is more or less stable. The core product hasn't changed significantly. Their most ambitious innovation in recent years (Periscope) was an acquisition. What do the bulk of these engineers work on, day to day? It seems like Twitter is optimally set up to burn money.

You seem very sure and I can't think of why you imagine this would work.

Give everyone a license to kill, give everyone a gun, and after that you think everything would just sort itself out? Do you believe that only the right people will survive and then everything will be fine?

Absolutely no risk of a violent degradation into chaos, looting, riots?
> Think of African or American colonisation for example. Local opposition had to be removed.

Right, let's just say that that is probably not the strongest argument you could have made.

> Think of the war on drugs in the USA, which was a covert operation to kill blacks.

That's an interesting alternative reading. The 'war on drugs' was a misguided attempt at solving a societal problem through confrontational means. Roughly what the article is all about.

It's also an abject failure, and a textbook case of why these things do not work long term. Kill all the criminals is only a good idea if don't want to have a civilized country.

> No they are not. They earned the right to kill drug lords and junkies through democracy.

Ah ok. That makes them lily white.

> With all due respect did you read the article?

Yes. Now with the same respect: Did you study history? At all?

> This isn't some kind of evil tyrant, that guy earned his position through the electorate because he's been using that plan to do away with scum in his own city and it worked well. Citizens are looking forward to cleanse their country and that's what they'll do, I hope.

Oh, you hope. Well, I hope with you. But the fact is that rather than having a bunch of drug criminals and junkies we will now have a population with a large fraction involved in extra-judicial murder. That's not necessarily a preferably situation over the original one and it leaves in place the biggest problem the country had to begin with: corrupt government officials and police force.

See, when you tackle a problem you should tackle the root cause, not the symptoms.

That's fine. I'm not sure more of it would make it any better.
We might be thinking of different scopes of machine learning.

You could look at AlphaGo's weights for the entire neural network for ten thousand years. But you would become no better at Go. The only way AlphaGo can help us improve at Go is by showing us what it has learned in the games it plays.
I stand by every single comment in this thread. The UK is doing well and I think they will continue to do so, fluctuations in the exchange rate and stock market notwithstanding. I'd stand by that even if they entered a small recession.
Just reading it, without knowing the background, it's certainly a possible pronunciation in English, and I guess you have the French to blame for that (cf. Geoffrey).

"Mispronouncing" abbreviations and the like is quite common. Once usage sticks around, derivation does hardly matter. Habit trumps logic.

Compare "char", C's monosyllabic mutilation of "character". Now everyone who pronounces it like "car" (as in vroom-vroom) go stand in a corner, as according to Dennis Ritchie it's either "char" (as in charcoal) or "care" (as in TCOB).

One of the few signs of maturity that I seem to exhibit is being able to control myself these days whenever someone says something obviously badwrong like that (or pluralizing status as "stati" or saying "binary order mark"). I hardly even twitch anymore.

When starting at a new company, test your co-workers that way. Say "squoll" for SQL, pronounce char as "shar" (with a French inflection), say 6 for vi and capitalize programming language names.
Originally, it was because we had a lot of one-off test cases not written in Python. Before BITS, most BIOS test programs consisted of one-off DOS programs, or later one-off EFI programs. If you wanted a new test, or you wanted a customer to quickly gather some information for you, you sent them a new test program, or a bootable image. Now, many of those one-off tests have become Python one-liners, and you can use Python to explore the system with an interactive REPL.

Python also lets us provide additional APIs to make scripting easy. For instance, we include the complete ACPICA interpreter, so you can evaluate an arbitrary ACPI method with arguments and process the result. And we have an FFI with EFI support, so you can locate and call an arbitrary EFI protocol.
How polished?

The article itself does not mention it, but the site definitely does, as well as expanding on the works of Lilly, Carhart-Harris, Pearce and a variety of other psychedelicists.

The survey also collected information about the number of times that the substance was used, though apparently it didn't matter. What is remarkable is how well the differences match to common knowledge, even though each survey taker only provided a response for a particular substance. Expectations might have a bigger role if the survey included all drugs at once, and people thought on their own "I don't know about that one, so I'll just answer with what I have heard about it." Rather, the survey asked participants to answer it for a drug that they had substantial experience with. Another thing to note is that factor analysis itself is likely to reduce a lot of possible biases, since people don't know in advance how the various items will end up being bunched together. If there is a popular expectation that ecstasy is "life changing" that particular item might have a weird pattern of responses for ecstasy. And yet, its overall loading on the various factors would remain relatively unaffected, since each item is contributing only a little to the final factor scores. Thus lexicalized associations (e.g. "the beauty of LSD") will be washed away by the influence of the remaining 49 items.

But yes, one wishes a lot of improvements. Personally, though, I think that having random people on the internet applying statistical techniques to new domains of knowledge in order to bring attention to low hanging fruit is really good. Of course they will not do it as well as a funded lab would, but they will help accelerate such research.
It may be _logically_ untenable. But certainly not politically...
You know what works really well at getting radical progress? Make everyone rich. Look at the reduction in violent crime throughout Asia as people's income increased.

Japan, Singapore, Korea.. The pattern is the same, and it isn't brutal law and order policies that made the difference.
> Thomas, you may not not realise you have just written a one line thesis for the justification of colonialism.

> "You brutes have no idea to run a society. We'll come show you how"

And you've just proved my point about democracy and human rights being dismissed as Western colonialism.

What's your alternative to democracy and human rights? A dictatorship that can have anyone it dislikes executed?

Colonialism might have been what brought democracy to many parts of the world - but the two are not one and the same (in fact, colonialism was regarded by many in Europe as being opposed to human rights and democracy). Many former colonies have tossed democracy and the rule of law out the window before - and it hasn't worked particularly well.

> You know the history of your country so I will not have to educate you on the result of preventing people "doing what they like" with regard to their culture and customs.

Well, Australia isn't an authoritarian regime, is it? I'd say that having elections with the government's power constrained by a constitution is going quite well.

> Are you/your ways superior to the people that voted him to do EXACTLY what he is doing? You called his one week old government "totalitarian". Forgetting he was elected for a 6 year term. Is that system they like stupid and petty too? Or should they come take instructions from you? Your country?

Of course I think my political beliefs are superior - that's why they're my political beliefs. I don't go around supporting a political ideology I believe to be inferior. It just so happens that extrajudicial executions are fundamentally opposed to my belief in the goal of a liberal democratic society.

I didn't call Duterte's government totalitarian - I agree that one week is not long enough. But if he's still asking for drug dealers and addicts to be murdered in a year I'll happily call him authoritarian, totalitarian, etc.

I understand he was elected for a six year term. That doesn't justify disregarding the rule of law (the same rule of law that make those elections every six years), nor does it morally justify murder.

The Philippines shouldn't be forced to take instructions from Australia - but that doesn't magically make criticism disappear. I'll criticise Duterte all I like, and I hope the Australian government criticises him too in the future.
It bugs me how quick Tesla is to blame their drivers. That autopark crash, for example, was clearly the result of a software design flaw. Tesla pushed an update where to activate autopark all you had to do was double tap the park button and exit the vehicle. That's it. No other positive confirmation. No holding the key fob required. The vehicle would start moving without a driver inside.

You'd think someone would have realized that a double tap could accidentally happen why trying to single tap.

The reporting on this was terrible, but there's a YouTube video illustrating the design flaw.[1]

Thing is, someone at Tesla must know this is the real culprit. But there was no public correction of their local manager who blamed the driver.

So you ask for evidence about painfully obvious things, but you feel like you can make unsubstantiated claims when there is evidence that directly contradicts those claims? Even when I addressed them already?

All the rich people were against Brexit but it still happened, didn't it? There is no one monolithic lizard people cabal that is out there to get you. There are many, many different groups with competing interests and opinions. This is why capitalism has been so good and has brought us so much prosperity. Real power cannot be usurped. Everybody competes. And this is why I cast doubt on your political acumen. You seem to have 0 consideration for competing interests and opinions. In your head everything happens in a vacuum and all will be OK if everybody was just a little bit more like you. Well, that's not going to happen. You can pout and scream unjustice and agitate people with beautiful promises and at the end of the day you will either have accomplished nothing or you will have crashed the best period in human history.

The kind of change you want requires a gradual improvement, not a revolution. Shift in the generations to come, not asking people to make a massive jump in their reasoning RIGHT NOW. And for all we know, the generations to come have a shift in their thinking. There's evidence for that. Milenials have a very different value chain the generations before them.
One option could be for them to use the self driving cars on some routes, or maybe even on just part of the route.

If things were implemented really well, I could imagine travelling part of the journey in self driving car and then jumping to regular one for the "last mile" (or the other way round). This way one could use the self driving cars in the easy, but time consuming sections (for example congested high ways leading to airport).

Police Arrest People for Criticizing Cops on Facebook and Twitter
My cousins played Pokémon in elementary school. They were obsessed. They invited me to play a couple games when I visited them (I had no idea which Pokémons were good). Now, they are graduating college. It is an entire generation that was raised on Pokémon, now starting their millenial lives.

It's probably the most interesting thing that has happened in games since Minecraft. Mobile games were stuck on Bejeweled clones or even more upmarket stuff like Clash of Clans. This almost guarantees a shift in development dollars towards AR.

Seeing Pokémon Go players in person is a little disconcerting though. They are more 'out of it' than usual, where 'out of it' baseline is the person texting while walking down the street.

Good work. I heard it in his voice! Is there a generator or something?
This is an old and well-discussed question. I'll quote from Alexis de Tocqueville's "Tyranny of the Majority" (1835):

> "If it be admitted that a man possessing absolute power may misuse that power by wronging his adversaries, why should not a majority be liable to the same reproach? Men do not change their characters by uniting with one another; nor does their patience in the presence of obstacles increase with their strength. For my own part, I cannot believe it; the power to do everything, which I should refuse to one of my equals, I will never grant to any number of them."

Democracy requires that while the majority rules, the minority also have rights. Majoritarianism (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Majoritarianism ) is similar to democracy, and some of its proponents argue is more democratic.

I disagree with that viewpoint. I do not respect a vote for autocracy, though of course this is abstract as my respect means nothing to those who voted that way, and I can do nothing to change things.

A democratic process must allow the minority at some point to be a majority. If you kill off the minorities, which yes, includes those accused of drug dealing, then there is no democracy. (And no, the frequent US policy of stripping the franchise from felons is not democratic.)

To be quite honest, yes, I could see him say that. But only because he seems to have little inhibition to say whatever comes to his mind without thinking of how people will react to it. But I couldn't see him enacting such policies. That's the important differentiator IMO. Let's also not forget being a president is slightly more involved than just saying things to make them happen.
Throw it away. Otherwise we may as well go with extrajudicial punishments. It is not a slippery slope. It is direct jump in the abyss.

If your country is Nigeria as your nick seems to suggest, then I suggest you look at how "doing not so nice things" has worked out elsewhere in Africa, and in fact, in Nigeria itself.

There is no easy path towards progress, and certainly not by killing whomever we think is the cause of the problem.

Also let's be honest, there never was a society that went down the drain due to drugs. Not even close. They are just scapegoats. Society that went down the drain due to violence and mob-approved regimes? Loads.

I see a lot of negative press about Duterte in the western media. Talking to Filipino friends, I have quite the opposite impression that mirrors your sentiments - that people are actually hopeful, a refreshing change after decades of corruption. It also appears that Duterte favors a more pragmatic stance on the Spratlys/South China sea disputes rather than toeing the western line which in the long term is better for the region. You do not want to antagonize China, despite the assurances of USA that they have your back (only as long as realpolitik affords it). Something that the average foreigner fails to comprehend.

> The vast majority of the money supply is based off debt.

That's because of the money supply measure you choose, so it's a pretty meaningless thing to complain about.

M0 for example is a measure of the money supply that is not based off debt. Most of the other measures include demand deposits in fractional reserve banks which are primarily debt.
The probe is 2.7 million miles from Jupiter, headed further out (its orbit is highly eccentric). That's nearly 11 times the distance from the Earth to the Moon.

At closest approach, Juno will be 2,200 miles from Jupiter, less than 1% of the distance between the Earth and Moon.

Space exploration is expensive, and a very large part of that expense is mass. Putting a 2.7 million mile scope on a probe that's going to be spending much of its time far closer in to interesting targets costs mass, and fuel, and other sensing apparatus you can't add. So there's that.

It's possible that there are higher-resolution capabilities for the probe as well, or that post-processing or higher data rates will improve current images.

It's also possible that visual reconnaissance wasn't a high priority for this mission, though I'm not familiar with the sensing platforms included.

Given orbital eccentricity, Juno can acquire and store high-quality data, and transmit that at leisure during the outbound parts of its orbit.
Might fight the causes for the addiction instead of the symptoms? Sounds like an idea? But hey, your approach worked great in Cambodia that time in the 70s..
