Hmmn. If you assume that increased adoption still leaves us with a similar cohort of drivers traveling on a similar collection of roads with similar driving habits, then this is statistically legitimate.

But each of those assumptions is problematic at best. It's a variant of the "Soldiers in Vietnam" problem. In 1961, the U.S. had 3,200 soldiers in Vietnam, and only 16 of them died. If straight extrapolation worked, you could infer that in 1968, when troop levels peaked at 536,000, we'd be looking at 2,680 deaths.

Actually, 16,899 American soldiers died in 1968. The mortality rate climbed 6x, because the war became quite different. American troops were exposed to all sorts of lethal situations that weren't part of the mix in 1961. Data is here

In Tesla's case, it's likely that a lot of the test miles so far have been incurred on California freeways or their equivalent, where lanes are wide, markings are good, rain is rare and snow is unheard of. Start moving more of the traffic load to narrower roads where nastier weather is common, and you're adding stress factors. Demographics change, too. The high price tag of Tesla vehicles today means that most drivers are likely to be in their prime earning/wealth years (let's say 35 to 70.) If the technology becomes more ubiquitous, we'll need to see how it performs in the hands of people of teenagers and the elderly, too. Once again, the risks rise.
there are several aspects to consider when talking about a concurrent queue:

* multiple/single producer, multiple/single consumer

* progress guarantees (wait-free, lock-free)

* bounded vs. unbounded

* whether it's double-ended or single-ended

* memory reclamation being dependant on a GC or not

* which atomic operations they need (e.g. some require double-CAS)

What you mention is a spsc bounded queue. this is about a mpmc unbounded queue. And from skimming the paper is seems like it does not require a GC either.

So it's far more powerful.

Of course spsc queues still have their use even if we have a good mpmc queue, they generally incur less overhead.
It clearly can. The swift compiler and language have had far more fundamental problems than this in previous releases, and that hasn't stopped its rapid growth.
Yep...rights to women as well.

So historically "all men" and the "rights endowed by their creator" has always been loosely interpreted to fit the ideals and requirements of the leaders at that time.

Which is morally wrong.

This still seems a long way off the 'marginal gains' in aero that F1, cycling or the world of aerospace are chasing. Which is not really a surprise, I guess the winds they are 'cheating' here are the sort of extreme winds you feel on a seafront at the end of a terrace of big buildings, the sort you cannot stand up in. I imagine rounding the edges off does the job even if 'laminar flow' isn't quite as it is in F1.

Particular to this project 'hack' in CSS generally refers to literally adding hacks in to force something to work, it's not a synonym for tinkering. If the whole project is chock-full of `! important` statements and specific `-moz/-webkit/-ie` prefixes to selectively cover specific bugs, then maybe it would be well-named (if horrific). I get why it's called 'hack', but given that in the context of CSS, 'hack' is almost always perjorative – referring to awful, unclean things you do to bend CSS styling to your will – it's not a very good name.

'Prow' would have been clearer.

But bow's fine too.

"The prow is the forward-most part of a ship's bow that cuts through the water. The prow is the part of the bow above the waterline. The terms prow and bow are often used interchangeably to describe the most forward part of a ship and its surrounding parts."
Boat hulls and decks have specific laws which make them patentable.

In 1988 Florida tried to make a law protecting boat hull designs and was shot down by the US Supreme Court. Legislators got involved and so part of the 1998 Digital Millennium Copyright Act includes protection of hull designs.

The rationale is: As a boat maker you have experts do a lot of very expensive work with thinking, simulation, real world modeling, building and testing full sized prototypes sweating all the little fiddly details. You finally stumble upon a good hull for some market. Then you spend dump truck loads of marketing money to convince people that it is a good hull for their boating needs. Success! So some clown then borrows one of the boats, makes a mold, and starts selling them cheaper with no R&D expenses and customers flock to him because they can tell its "just like" your boat.

Fun legal/programmer note: The law had to be fixed in 2009 because some of aforesaid clowns figured out that "hull" was defined to be the hull and the deck, so they were making molds, copying the hull and changing an irrelevant detail on the deck and counting as a different design. The 2009 law splits hull and deck, fixes a bunch of AND and OR logic, and closes that bug report on the law.

I assume that its plausible to put in place policies such that terrorist attacks can be much reduced, but that wouldn't be a modern western country any more and indeed the level of repression required would inhibit a countries function so dramatically that it would likely create more terrorists in the long term.

Precisely. Adding 0 to the front of an infinite series is shifting every term by one to the right. It's not clear that shifting terms in series keeps the sum the same. For instance, re-arranging infinitely many terms in conditionally convergent infinite series changes the sum.

Yea, but how does that help me in my dev projects? The nice thing about Bower/NPM is that you can pull repos at specific versions or pull in new versions of a project. Adding a line to my build script to include a file at (say) `./vendor/hackcss/dist/hack.min.css` is a lot easier than having to run his Gulp compilation script. CURLing or including this public link isn't really an option :/
The coup failed, at least in part, because either the plotters and their allies were deluded about getting support from the population, or they had simply failed to prepare the ground by promoting secularism in the population. The other side of the coin is that the population sees secularism as the hallmark of a military that is co opted by liaisons with NATO and foreign intelligence agencies.

I see this latter failure as a general failure throughout the way the West interacts with Islamic nations. We've allowed secularism to become a tarnished brand, associated with military strong-men, instead of promoting it as the way to rights and education for women and freedom from religious totalitarianism.

You haven't seen a lot of C# code then... in my experience, as the sibling comment points out, it's slightly better than Java, but what I've noticed is that C# is gradually becoming more abstract and "enterprisey" while Java is actually getting better, moving in the other direction.
The problem is that we are missing a sufficiently expressive visual language. Given such a language, my guess is that OP could have conveyed his thoughts more clearly and concisely.
RAND's point is true but irrelevant. As Tesla likes to point out, when you roll out to an entire fleet (rather than a few dozen test cars), you rack up hundreds of millions of miles almost overnight. 'Hundreds of millions' may sound like a lot, but Americans drive trillions of miles per year.
Can't put the blame of one bad package on the whole community. If there is a bad package don't use it. I've seen lots of well engineered packages with zero dependencies.

E.g typescript. Entire compiler and language server. No dependencies.

Es6 is a decent library out of the box. I always only add a dependent if it's something not trivial.

A lot of the shitty packages came out before tree shaking was a thing.

There is an argument. Should you just have a large hash table of functions that you reference. Those in the bandwagon go for the one function packages.
> Norway isn't a violent place nor does it have a lot of gun crime but it has a lot of guns

Er. Do you know what Anders Breivik did in 2011? You're also shifting straight from 'terrorism' to 'homicide', although they are not the same thing.

> none of the law changes that reduced gun ownership in the last 50 years has made any noticeable difference to the correlation.

How do you explain this then?

> There is plenty of automatic weapon use in the UK, there doesn't appear to be serious problems with smuggling guns in

Except that I've given several examples where extremely well motivated 'bad guys' were unable to get anything beyond rudimentary home made pistols and were consequently unable to kill large numbers of people. Long may it stay that way, despite gun nuts who wish otherwise.

> there is no sport use or recreational use at all.

This is also untrue. About 1% of the population are licensed gun owners, mostly for shotguns in rural areas. Hunting for sport is wide spread. Sports target shooters can use shotguns, rifles and long barrelled .22 pistols.

As much as I don't want to excuse or allow obesity, or that the advice in this thread is extremely applicable in reducing the rates of obesity, I will say that fat loss for women is indeed harder.

This video[1] explains in greater detail, but essentially all of the hormonal changes a woman goes through on a month-to-month basis can have drastic effects on their ability to lose fat, to keep up performance while exercising, as well as water/nutrient absorption on a week-to-week basis.

These changes do not happen to men, and they are additional considerations when a woman needs to lose weight. Not that they aren't insurmountable, or that the topic itself isn't for more advanced athletes, but we can generalize this to say that it is more difficult for women, so I'm not surprised that the gap would widen given those additional constraints.

Atomic operations on NUMA architectures are much more efficient than lock/unlock on the same memory.

It's more expensive than no synchronization, but it's the cheapest (that I know of) method of syncing state across threads and multiple CPU architectures.

The only thing cheaper is immutable structures, but those obviously limit your ability to change state across threads.
Ether that you own (not related to the DAO) before the fork happens would be unaffected by the fork. But after the fork, suppose you accept payment for something. You can accept payment in cash, Bitcoin, Ether-on-left-side-of-fork, or Ether-on-right-side-of-fork. I suppose you could also insist on getting paid in BOTH "Ether-on-left-side-of-fork" and ALSO in "Ether-on-right-side-of-fork", but that starts to get really complicated.
Gitmo is not closed.
I understand "war" has a different set of rules, but, historically, those rules have applied to specific circumstances of engagement. Targets were well known and understood.

In a "war" where every person on the planet is a potential enemy, these rules should not be applied, otherwise all someone has to say is "terrorist!" and poof, there go your rights...wait, that's exactly what's happening!

Capturing and trying a person who is actively shooting at you is not practical.

But the style of executions that the US and allies are engaging in has much more in common with law enforcement than "war" -- they receive a "tip" or as a product of their investigations, come across "information" that person X is engaging in terrorism activities. Person X is not permitted to present evidence to the contrary. They are not permitted to present a rebuttal to the claims. There is not even a check or balance on the assertions to Person X's activities. An assessment is made, strike ordered, and Person X, and anyone within a 100ft radius of them, are summarily judged and executed.

The laws proposed are not limited to only "terrorists" -- and there is a long history of the US failing to apply any sort of constitutional protections to any second-class human being. How someone can claim that the protections of the Constitution(or the ideas presented in the Declaration of Independence) are morally self-evident, but yet, somehow only apply to a US Citizen, presents two assertions that are in conflict.

I understand what you're trying to convey and agree. I thought you might not have noticed the email address of the authors. Two of the authors' email addresses are of IIT Delhi, one of the universities managed by the Government of India.

So these authors are in "the other cultural circle" too. One in which there's more than 10 times competition in the educational system for funding, compared to not only western and European counterparts but the Japanese one too, which the parent comment I think is/was a part of. Not just funding for cool projects. There is a very dire need for good universities but higher education in a good university is very difficult to have.
Then I didn't understand the complaint, as this does include a dist/ folder in the npm package (which is also what npmcdn uses), so you'd just npm install it as normal :)
What's with the weird Vdom syntax. I'd really like if authors used something that can be used as jsx.

For context, the traditional wait-free queues are only wait-free for one side, writing or reading. The other side has to spin in an atomic fetch loop, waiting for the wait-free multi-step operation to complete.

The double wait-free queue from the paper is using a technicality to achieve its status. The spinning operation is replaced with a loop over all the threads doing opposite (multi-step) operations, finishing them for threads that may be blocked in the middle of the steps. It's not that it doesn't spin, but the spinning is bounded by the number of threads. Edit: Actually, spinning is bounded by O(#threads^4) according to the paper.
Yeah, to be honest aside from the US I can't think of any developed countries that set limits on how many terms a political leader can stay in office. Part of me thinks it could be a good thing to adopt more broadly, though two terms seems a little too restrictive IMO.
There are definitely cases where long term use of benzos is the only viable solution and your sounds like one of them. But this paper just rehashes the same things about benzodiazepines. Are they saying that only some people become dependent on benzos? Do they have an example of anyone who's been on them for four weeks that isn't dependent? I doubt you could find someone who has been on them for two weeks who isn't dependent. They completely gloss over the fact that doctors have no idea how to get people off and rehabs are even more clueless (you can't do anything in 30 days other than damage for a long-term benzo user). Doctors often use a patient's dependance to squeeze money out of him and not provide any actual care outside the prescription, a prescription they know with certainty will bring the patient back regardless of how awful the rest of the services are. Often, they will stop seeing patients without warning, literally leaving them in life-or-death situations that they need to resolve themselves, situations they might not be able to resolve without going to a black market or emergency room. I'm not saying the guidelines are bad, just that they are extremely incomplete, they unacceptably play down the risks involved, and most doctors have never heard of them. The situation will hardly change given how much profit comes from benzos to all parties involved (except the patient)

I'm not sure that's really the purpose. Akka.NET is the incumbent technology. Orleans might be older, but since Microsoft Research is historically bad at popularizing (or even being willing to share) its products, so Akka.NET is the one most people already know about.

Whenever you're seeing a new technology that seems to do the same thing as a pre-existing technology, I think it's perfectly sane and reasonable to ask, "What does $NEW_THING do differently from $THING_I_ALREADY_USE?" For starters, it lets you get up to speed on its merits much more quickly. You only need to go over the memetic equivalent of a patch file rather than having to read the entire spec.

Banning guns from citizens doesn't make life harder for terrorists. There was a video last year of an ISIS person beheading someone using a large knife, on a city street in broad daylight as pedestrians walked by on the other side of the street, powerless to do anything to stop the atrocity taking place in front of them.

In many places in the United States, if someone tried to cut someone's head off in broad daylight on a city street, that terrorist would probably get shot dead, maybe before committing the act. That makes life harder for terrorists.

The problem with gun control debates and conversations about violence in the atmosphere of gun control debates is that 1/2 of the people talking have lost their f'ing minds.

Violence is a problem unrelated to the prevalence of weaponry and violent people will always find weapons to use. Guns are an equalizer that empower the weak to stand up against the strong.

Not if the transactions happen after the fork, and on the "wrong" one. If you're purely using Ethereum as a store of value, and already have all your funds put into it, then this won't affect you, sure. But if you're actually trying to use it as a currency like intended, then you're screwed.

Money isn't very useful if you can't transact it at all for fear that new transactions won't be any good.
I was a hardcore Ethereum fanboy, but this fork completely turned me off.
> The only negative impact of plastic bags is that people litter.

Of course this does happen. However, even if people were meticulous about putting their used plastic bags in trash receptacles, there are still _lots_ of ways for plastic bags to make their way into the environment: trash cans get overturned, trash bags sitting on the curb waiting to be picked up are torn open by animals, etc.
It's not just Microsoft, though I agree they are really bad at naming. There are plenty of examples of similarly obtuse naming in open source. Storm, with its spouts and bolts, comes to mind.
Ketogenic is too extreme. Doctors and nutritionists will agree on that. I'm an anecdotal example, but for me it caused my resting blood sugar to actually increase.

Food quality matters as much as food quantity. Yes you can lose weight on a McDonald's Diet (we've seen a whole documentary on this), but that may not improve your blood markers or other health markers.
In practice I think I'd sooner switch back to a non-forked cryptocurrency than try to deal with running multiple forks and ensuring that I'm getting paid on all of them. That sounds like a right huge mess to deal with, as you point out.
Most interesting part of this to me is that the investigation has been the target of intense Russian misinformation for 2 years.

> Satellite imagery presented by the Russian Defence Ministry of July 21, 2014 was “so heavily manipulated that it lacks any credibility as evidence.”

> The quality of the satellite images that Russia released is poor and appear altered. Therefore they recommend Russia should release the originals to the Joint Investigation Team.

I really don't like these 'credits' systems, the same goes for CO2 credits and all the other systems out there like this. They're a magnet for fraud and rarely if ever serve to actually remedy the issue they're aimed at.

It's just a way to move money around, not to solve problems.

The interesting bit here is that is actually quite hard to figure out why what they did was illegal, at first glance you'd say that the agency that created the opportunity is just as culpable as those that took advantage of it, it doesn't take genius to figure out that this would lead to trouble.
