I understand what you're saying. However for the Olympics, in which you're representing an entire country, with tons of money flooding in, should the athletes not see some of that? I don't see this as any different than professional sports. You could easily argue that Olympic level is above Professional, and a FAR greater commmitment.
You do realize that crop yields have grown exponentially as well?

And I hope you also realize that "natural resources" is not an intrinsic property that some things have, it's just a way of describing things around us and for which we figured out use cases.
It's like when someone says that a certain phenomenon is mysterious. That's not a description of the phenomenon itself, it just describes the state of knowledge of the person making the claim. Likewise, the reason gold, iron, oil and wood are "natural resources" is because we figured out stuff to do with them.
Worrying about running out of resources is basically worrying that we exhausted all the ways we can rearrange atoms to better achieve our purposes.
I haven't used Atom much, so I can't make a truly educated comparison, but from what I remember the speed difference was staggering when typing. At the time I used vim, and now primarily use Sublime, both of which I almost never have slowdown with (the only time I ever recall having Sublime crawl was when I was compiling a massive program that ate my entire CPU). Atom didn't lag horribly but it was noticeable.

I've been somewhat curious about Atom lately, especially when I dealt with how slow stylelint was when linting through Sublime (1s+...), whereas Atom doesn't have this problem because it already runs a Node process, but really there haven't been any real impetuses to switch to another editor.

If I were deciding between the two without owning Sublime, I'd probably go with Atom first because it's free, then if I found it to be lacking, be it through customization, plugins (if I liked Python over Node for plugin writing, for example), or speed, I would probably go with Sublime.

I'm quite surprised that "Lack of SSL Pinning" is considered a vulnerability. I have to admit that I don't have cert pinning enabled on mt domains, mostly because I haven't taken the time to fully understand the implications of what enabling it means. I've heard that you need backup certs that are listed as being authorized for disaster recovery, but I'm not totally sure what that entails.

Do most see not implementing this as a critical security vulnerability?
Brand wise I can certainly see how this is beneficial to Solar City. Tesla as a brand has taken off hugely, so I can see it being easier to sell 'Tesla Solar' which is an easy benefit to Solar City as a company.

Certainly for any global expansion, I don't think many people outside the US know about Solar City. Where I am in Belgium, Tesla cars are about as prevelant on the roads as Range Rovers and everyone from my nephew to my mother in law knows about it.

As they also say it's a way to get people to the Tesla Stores which should benefit Tesla in a similar way to Apple stores.
Slightly off subject, but when Khrushchev visited Silicon Valley in late 1950s, he was more impressed though by IBM's canteen and it's organization, than their computing systems.

Are there any statistics on the safety/reliability of software controlled vs. hardware controlled devices?

I work in software engineering, so I'm exposed daily to broken software controls, and I'm gradually becoming more of a "grumpy old man" longing for the good old days when machines (be it cameras, cars, watches, medical equipment or anything else, really) could be "debugged" by following levers, wires, physical stops and hoses. I feel much more comfortable with that than with complex computer systems.

I would like to know if my fears can be founded in actual truths, or if I'm just riling myself up over nothing.

There is some good content for how kids can learn to program but not why kids should learn. I would focus on building equations kids would relate to, like "graphing the change in temperature in the town from Frozen" or "how much walking it takes to evolve a pokemon".

The €480 quoted on the site covers 40% of the final price. I paid ~€130 for the Ubuntu phone and I don't intend to ever pay more than 2x that for a smartphone. But it'd have to be special. Truly converge PC/phone, then I may pay closer to PC prices.

I agree with this. I think the only thing that has slightly annoyed me in Sublime has been that some plugins can be slow, especially if they're not Python based (e.g. Node plugins can be slow), but that's not really an editor issue, and I haven't really noticed any other issues.
> The version I quoted is from the 2013. Private TV and radio existed by then. It has been reworked

Figured as much based on some of the text.

> and rewritten, new media such as apps and online media has been included in the scope, partially by the constitutional court. The actors that try and prevent that as much as possible are the private TV stations.

Yeah, I never understood why someone like RTL would be opposed to ARD or ZDF's online content. the only explanation I got was that they want to limit where the content is available how and see it as a competition, otherwise why would they be the cause for only limited time online availability of publicly funded videos. I wonder how it's handled with BBC's iPlayer and if they also have an expiry date demanded by private media.

> But you did: "to produce just what the mandate requires, not daily soaps, game shows, " (taken from your previous post)

I know, though I don't consider the content cited here culture, and I may be wrong about that, yes. My interpretation of the cultural aspect is to preserve and document the genuine culture of Germany so that it's visible to Germans and foreigners alike. Stuff like game shows or soaps are pretty much the same globally, so there's nothing interesting German-culture-wise in them. In the past cultures used to be very different but with globalization and the massive reach of Hollywood I'd say culture has been homogenized in popular content to more than 95%. Legally speaking, though, you're right.

There's another option (though scantily mentioned and likely unpopular): not voting at all. At least then you won't bare any responsible for putting a Trump or Clinton in the White House.
It depends on the state. Some allow early voting and some encourage voting by mail which is pretty convenient. It will have to be up to the states because the federal government is pretty strictly disallowed from interfering with how the elections are run.
That plus unlike in other countries convictions don't "expire." Take the UK for example, many convictions fall away after sentence duration + 2-4 years (obviously depends how serious it is, see "Rehabilitation periods for specific sentences" table in the link)[0].

The UK doesn't disenfranchise anyway (only if you're incarcerated can you not vote). But even in a world where the UK did disenfranchise, it would still be a fairer system as we don't hold people's convictions over their head forever.

The US is designed to keep people re-offending. Once you're convicted of a single crime you're effectively damaged goods forever, and have to report it (unless you get it expunged which is far harder if it occurred over 18).

Do Olympic executives have to finish their staff meetings under a certain qualifying time to keep their jobs every 4 years?
Athletes are content providers on the Olympic platform. They also have no leverage to force a more equitable distribution of income.

Given how poorly most platforms compensate content providers, I see no inconsistency here.
Unless this is an argument for literally direct democracy why do we need to vote separately for the prime minister? Do you want to vote for every minister individually? There are more than a hundred so it may take a while. Instead, we elect a representative, who groups together with like-minded representatives to form a government and run the country. Keep it simple.

I think in UK politics talking about apathy and ignorance is often a nice way to talk about other people's ignorance of your better opinions, and their apathy for your better ideas.

I follow you up to here. The Democratic party has always been for centralized control of policy decisions.

> My conservative friends are irked because the RNC did not do more to stop Trump.

Mine don't really care about the party leadership. They are irked at the other primary voters more than the party leaders. Rubio, Paul, and Cruz were Tea Party candidates, so considering them establishment and voting for Trump screams ignorance more than anything.
Can we just find someone reaaally moderate or even someone who contractually obligates themselves to doing literally nothing in office and then vote for them? Literally any 3rd party candidate we can all agree on to vote for instead of these two.

Bandwidth costs are highly dependent on where you live and what you can pay for. In most of the developing world, people access internet through their phones primarily, on prepaid plans costing about $5 per gigabyte, which can be a significant part of a monthly income.
The other side of too much stuff is that if micropayments start being widely used, you won't be able to keep up with the costs.

We can see this with the App store where people complain bitterly about $0.99 or $1.99 prices.
It depends on if the ideal candidate is the sort of person who wants to work with people who wear tee shirts that proclaim themselves the best programmers to the point that they will wear such a tee shirt.

To me, worrying over which clever slogan to put on tee shirt is a way of pretending to do the hard work of recruiting which is talking to people and evaluating their ability and deciding it doesn't fit and telling them so and being humane while doing so.

I think, "StartupName: We are hiring" is more to the point and a better conversation starter.

Good luck.
Feels like a "thanks cousin, but now it's time I run this company too" pseudo takeover thing. Personally I don't mind, as an investor in both SCTY and TSLA.
My problem is that they are competing with private companies. Operas are state-sponsored, because they cannot compete in a free market and would die. But there are plenty of soap operas on private networks, too. We would not lose anything if they would stop producing those. Same with sport events. I think the private networks are right: It is unfair and wasteful to create a state-sponsored entity, which has an ridiculous amount of funding and can therefore out-compete private companies, which would create the same service.

It's a shame that the article doesn't provide any info on what percentage of USOC income ends up going to the athletes, especially since the author(s) probably have that information.

If it's 10%, then you could probably easily make an argument that they really are underpaid relative to the revenue of the organization as a whole. OTOH, if it's 90%, then you can't credibly claim they're significantly underpaid unless you can also show that the IOC and/or USOC could charge more, which you would think they would already be incentivized to do.

Having looked up variants just now, I can definitely see how it would be useful. It seems (to me) to fall into the same category of macro-like things that enhance the expressiveness of the language. I think the most important point is the idea of lifting the programming language into the problem domain. When you can do this in a clean way, the result is a very readable solution that you can reason about.
You can remove permissions you've given to an app as well, under Settings > Apps > [App] > Permissions.

I think it will cause the app to ask you for permission again when it starts, but it's good to know it's not a one-time-only option.

I spent over 10 years writing control software for medical devices. In classifying the criticality of a device, the FDA from the beginning put any device with software into a higher category. They have since refined their classifications, so you probably won't find that guidance on their site anymore, but 15 years ago it was pretty eye opening to me that two devices of the same type, one with and one without software, could be automatically in different safety categories.

So, no, it's not just you :-)

I don't know why presstv would write it that way, the specs of the missile have been publicly known for decades, and it weighs 209 tons. I guess that's "at least 100".
This deal certainly would not have happened if Musk wasn't a giant shareholder and the Chairman of SolarCity. It makes very little sense on paper (SCTY loses a ton of money and TSLA needs every dollar it has plus a lot more to invest for the Model 3).
Your argument applies to science fiction and other works that make grand speculations about the future. The future is not knowable thus it is useless and misleading to speculate according to your argument. Your counter argument is far more shallow and misleading.

Our progress towards the future happens regardless of a limit. So why write science fiction? Why write fiction at all? Because we're human. I speculate, therefore I am.

Either way your argument doesn't address the heart of the matter. Is my speculation correct? Or is it incorrect? You have failed to logically address this argument. On the other hand I have only said that one outcome is far more likely than the other, I have not been definitive about it either.
> why should the parties have a legal monopoly on ballot-line presence

That was the original question (from someone else). It sounds like we've agreed that the answer is 'they shouldn't' and 'this year they don't'.
Let me propose an alternative way of looking at it, that 30KE for six months of possible part time funding of new projects is almost perfectly wrong financially.

Early in a project you want experienced people putting in lots of time (full time) on architecture and initial design and MVP. Later on, lower paid programmers can evolve the project part time to add javascript flavor of the month.

As an alternative financial model, how about 25KE (or more) for two months for expert level programmers to bootstrap a new project full time only, or 60KE for a year to evolve features and squash bugs on an existing project perhaps part time. Or if politics and PR make ongoing support impossible, then only do the bootstrap phase.

Its possible programmer salaries in .de are much lower than I think they are. However they can't too much lower, someone there is buying all those BMWs and VWs.
>This perspective is self-fulfilling.

Unless you can massively convince everyone to do vote for their actual best candidate, it's also very pragmatic.

From experience from other countries, the way shifts that allow a third party/candidate break a "duopoly" happen is slowly -- they incresingly get 5, 10, 15% of the vote, until a momentum builds and people start (rightly) feeling than voting for them doesn't just waste their vote and lets their least favorite of the 2 major candidates elected.
So Long, and Thanks for All the Turtles
Didn't see that one so thanks for the link. Ok, now that is definitely Channel IO in new form. It has a bunch of high-speed hardware, a bus for it all to communicate, and [critically] efficient SOC to absorb all the work such hardware brings. Some of the software on their list are used in clusters and such that were considered mainframe alternatives for batch or performance-oriented workloads. So, yeah, generalizing that architecture to various types of hardware would constitute a Channel IO replacement.

I think one commenter thought "Can't you do the same with multi-core CPU's?" One advantage of Channel I/O was that they could use weaker CPU's since it didn't take as much work. Cost or efficiency advantages with the heterogeneous architectures. We see that in this one where they use lightweight, ARM multi-core instead of heavyweight x86. Leaves room for accelerators in SOC or just watts for other stuff in system. So, going in right direction again.
Great explanation that I didn't have time to type up myself below. Thanks!

It won't be nepotism if the decision makes business sense I guess.
You don't actually have to vote for the least worst one... I recommend looking to third party candidates. The libertarian party has two pretty solid lineup and polls third at the moment (like 11% or something this election cycle).

That being said, you can also protest vote by putting in "Edward Snowden" or something.

Honestly, I find it horrifying people feel the need to vote for the "least worst option". You're essentially electing a temporary dictator (potentially at least), please don't vote for someone you dislike. Even if you dislike one less than the other, you still dislike them...

Try not to let fear influence you when selecting a leader. A leader needs to guide and protect the group, not be the least bad member of the group.
Vote libertarian?

> You do realize that crop yields have grown exponentially as well?

I do realize that, yes, only that nowadays people are not content with only eating bread and making it to the next day (which, I agree, we have enough resources for) but they instead want to have a "Western"-style of life, meaning middle or higher education, a car, some electronics (phones, TVs), air-conditioning etc. I'd say our planet doesn't have enough resources to provide a Western-style of life for 7 billion people, feel free to prove me wrong on that.

I'll also say that the recent immigration-related issues are resource-related, meaning the poorer parts of the world (places like Pakistan or sub-Saharan Africa) don't have enough resources to provide a Western-style of living for people from there. I remember reading an interview with a 16-year old from Gabon (I think), who was waiting at the Italian-Swiss border hoping to make his way to Germany, and the reason he gave for making it all the way there from his home country was that he wanted to attend University in Europe, he didn't mention not having enough bread to eat at home.
> And I simply stopped disclosing what I was making at the previous job.

What's a good way of phrasing this to come off as non-combative? I always feel awkward saying something like "I'm not comfortable telling you that information".
A little off topic perhaps, but the book, "How Not to Network a Nation", was a huge disappointment to me. It seems like the first third of the book is an attempt to convince the reader that "cybernetics" is actually a better word than "networking". It's extremely boring and don't seem relevant.

It seems like the author either didn't have access to technical information, or opted to skip implementation details. That's really a shame, because I think that's the part that most of the potential readers would be interested in.

In the end I skipped to the last chapter of the book, which is the only part that's sort of interesting. Maybe I'm just disappointed because I expected the content to something different, based on the title and abstract.

Most of the sports represented in the Olympics have their own World Championships independent of the IOC. As you've mentioned, they aren't multi-category though, so they don't have the same concentrated appeal.
