Some background ... I have been very, very interested in a modular phone platform for many years now - mainly due to my desire to isolate computing modules from baseband modules and have hard switches for things like GPS/microphone/wifi/etc. For me the goal was control and security, not gimmicks like projector modules, etc.

In fact, I went so far as to contact several small electronics designers and fabricators and drew up some initial plans. rsync.net and (pre-release) 0x.co kept me busy, so I didn't get much further than that.

But in answer to your point:

"To make something modular you need to wrap each piece in its own case, add bulky connectors, etc. Both weight and volume are at an extreme premium in mobile devices."

No, not really ... the design direction I was going in was a to have one or two or three plastic cases, depending on how large (how many modules) you wanted your phone to be and then the modules themselves were bare daughterboards that had connectors such that you could assemble them like a grid.

So in that fashion, each module would not need its own packaging and case - you simply started with a plastic package (case) that was large enough for whatever "grid" you wanted to assemble.

And, of course, you could add a second (or third, or fourth) battery module.

Are you sure it wasn't either more than 25mg or a different drug? I'm not sure if doses that low are even used for humans (seems they are for pets), but certainly when prescribed for seizures daily doses would range from 300mg to several thousand mg.
There's definitely a way to abuse it. But if, for instance the type is shown a couple lines up, it's not too bad. E.g. if the for loop is iterating over a var passed into a function.
It's not a microwave, but... I've lost my fridge manual and have no idea how to set its clock anymore - so it's just there, blinking, for eternity.

Yes, I brought this fridge model because of "features". I even did a feature comparison while searching for a model. The caveat is that all the features I looked for were related to chilling things, or easy maintenance.

I would pay extra for getting rid of the clock - and more yet for just some different software that displayed temperature instead of time.
So much for GRAS... is the FDA turning over a new more pro-caution leaf or is this because someone didn't grease the right palms?

daveguy's explanation is correct. It's the simplest form of the Mean Shift algorithm.
The reason that we've had so many people hurt by nutritional supplements is that they're allowed to add anything until it's proven to be unsafe. In the medical field, which has strict rules today, it was the era of dangerous and ineffective "patent medicine" that caused our existing policies to be created.

If you're going to advocate change, don't you think it's important to understand historical and modern examples of the people you're going to kill?

Growing up in Tennessee, the practice of electing low-level judicial positions like prosecutors and local judges always seemed like a bad idea. Incompetent or corrupt judges who apply the law in bad or farcical ways create real harm and grief[0][1].

Appointments don't prevent incompetence or corruption, but at least it uncouples local popularity or a lack of voter knowledge from deciding who ought to have the authority to apply the law. It seems like vetting experienced lawyers who have a real understanding of not only what the law is, but also how it should be applied, as happens in the UK[2] can't help but produce a more legally sound criminal justice system at the very least.

But then, I suppose it depends on your priorities. If holding judges accountable to the electorate's sense of justice is a higher priority than holding them accountable to what the law actually is, then this is a fine system.

none really.

VSATs may be an option but :
- they're highly visible (which makes a physical shut-down easier)
- there has been some sort of crackdown (or rather, tax-up-until-it-gets-too-expensive) on the use of said technology.

Going further, if your VSAT provider is local, they will probably shut down your service the same way any other ISP has.

So Iridium/Thuraya is really the only option.
"They used to be modular until companies started to follow Apple down the current path. I had a Dell Inspiron with removable battery, removable DVD drive, and PCMCIA slot for modular functionality."

PCMCIA was so great. In my entire experience of computing and consumer electronics, I think PCMCIA is still my favorite technology. I miss it a lot.

A lot of them are system issues: you need a LOT of passengers going point-point, and you need the airport infrastructure.

Consider the A380: it can only fly into airports that have been modified/built for them; takes forever to load/unload passengers, and only works for a few long haul routes. Most airlines are losing money on it (few are in the Qantas/Emirates mode) and thus the order book is not strong. I doubt anyone will build a larger plane.

Being living in both China and U.S., one thing I can tell you for sure is that U.S. (being the leader in the free world) is NOT on a moral high ground to criticize other countries given the recent events of racism and bigotry.

My advise for you is that you should go out there, travel the world, living in a different country for many years and look back on your worldviews.
True, but I was under the impression that even on the coast, a few cities are _really bad_, but most are ok enough (i.e. polluted, but not worryingly so). Do you have any personal experience there?
You're correct. Most regulation is a lagging indicator of where the market is already going. If they tried to regulate something in a way that no one wanted to follow, no one would follow it, and they'd be ignored.

So, when a portion of the population starts changing their mind on something, the FDA might determine that there's enough political will for a new regulation, and if they move quick, they can be seen as a progressive and helpful industry.

The FDA causes incalculable harm in other ways, mostly by prohibiting good things from coming to market.

For example, factory farming is incredibly harmful, but local alternatives are mostly illegal, for not complying with FDA regulations (which only approve factory farms). [0]

Another example: An amazing, cheap, reversible male birth control option called Vaselgel has been functioning in India for decades, and a few organizations have tried to bring it to the USA, only to be unable to afford the FDA regulatory hurdle. Male birth control is an amazing option for so many different groups, and prohibiting it has real costs on society. It's slated for human trials in 2017. [1]

By working against these interests, the FDA causes far more harm than it prevents. This soap antibiotics ban is (to my cynical view) an easy win for the agency, in an attempt to build good-will or trust in the market.

I reached down to grab a piece of wood to place into my campfire years ago and felt this unbelievably jarring pain go through my thumb (considering how gently I had placed my hand down to grab the piece of wood, the level of pain was immense).

There was a very tiny piece of something stuck in my thumb, which I was able to remove but not able to inspect very closely as it was pitch black outside and I was working with a flashlight.

I wrote it off as most likely being a splinter of glass from somebody's smashed beer bottle that had gone straight through my skin.

Reading this, however... it was much more likely a metal bristle from somebody's cheap camping brush that they used to clean their camping grill.
Well here is a very interesting analysis that concludes better teachers show very little if any statistical differences in the outcomes of their students: http://slatestarcodex.com/2016/05/19/teachers-much-more-than... It really doesn't matter that the teachers in the US are slightly worse, because teachers don't really matter.

>What's more, compared to the public school systems of other developed countries, the US one is far from the best and one of the worst in math.

These are based on average scores and don't control for race or income. If I recall correctly, if you do control for other factors, similar looking students tend to do about the same between the US and Europe.

Donation buttons on websites are no where near as prolific as they used to be 15 years ago (Paypal donate buttons). I can't help but feel this is just because people don't want to donate - they'd rather keep their money. This is not a friction problem.

This feels like Changetip v2 which is in my opinion not a viable business model. Their target market is people who want to donate widely and not specifically. This is a user group I don't think exists, the ones who want to donate are a subset of the websites most dedicated users.

In my opinion this is an unsustainable business model.

There is likely negative externality to other people from its widespread use (more bacterial resistance), and the benefit is at most a placebo effect. Many users may not even care that much--it's just another optional checkbox at little extra cost.

The manufacturers also fall into a prisoner's dilemma and cannot avoid offering it if a number of buyers are not aware of or care about externalities. Only the government can pull them out together.

What boggles my mind is that the 747 and Concorde were designed with slide rules and built by hand without CNC. Not just the airframes but the motors and everything else. They must have had some simple computer simulation, but not much.

I don't want to return to those days but if we had to build software that way it would be much more reliable. It would take longer and have much less functionality too of course.
Of course, it should also be mentioned that there are perfectly good schools of political thought under which the powers of government are not merely the aggregated power of individuals.

Certainly such schools of thought exist, but I'd stop short of calling them "perfectly good." I think Bastiat makes the case pretty strongly that there's no moral basis for saying that a group can hold any innate authority beyond that which the individual members hold. And by "authority" I mean the ability to compel people who don't voluntarily consent to the governance of the group to do the group's will. Of course if a group of people voluntarily choose to delegate some decision making authority to a collective, that makes perfect sense.

The state, however, is able to organize behavior in a way that largely solves these problems, meaning that there may be cases where it is acceptable for the state to kill even though no individual person could morally have done so.

I have a hard time with that. How can merely aggregating a bunch of people together create a moral justification that doesn't exist otherwise? What's the basis for saying that this is so?
I would like for there to be a greater discourse on "true representation". When I look at citizens per representative I absolutely don't believe it's representative.

I think for congress it's near 600,000 or something now. In LA we have the county board of supervisors, and that's a group of 5 people running a city of 10,000,000

I find these numbers mind-blowingly unrepresentative, nowhere near "true representation".

Yes. The antibacterial claim is misleading because it's not actually more effective and is damaging to the environment.

If homeopathy was damaging to the environment, you're damn right we should outlaw it.

The whole purpose of the FDA is to evaluate these types of claims. They are doing their jobs properly.
Cross contamination is almost always the concern here. Handle raw -> prepping vegetables for a salad, for instance. Or handling chicken then almost anything else.
According to what I understood from the article, a trial is not even relevant. Lawyers are barely relevant. A prosecutor threatens someone with a life-destroying extreme sentence, and they take the short plea term. Confess to this crime you may have committed or we will destroy you. End of story. No trial, no long discussion, your lawyer will advise you to take the deal because facing 30 years in prison for a minor offense is a very real possibility. The cops will lie in court and be believed, forensic science will be fabricated, it's just not worth the risk. Federal or state.

I think the main problem is we haven't seen bacteria develop a resistance to antiseptics, so it's a fear based on a what if that seems unlikely based on hundreds of years of antispetic use.

There have been a small number of laboratory studies that imply it might be possible with triclosan, but they used extremely low levels of triclosan, and real world studies have basically shown the opposite.

http://ec.europa.eu/health/scientific_committees/consumer_sa... Page 30

"Furthermore, in most in vitro studies, resistance to triclosan has been measured as an increase in MIC. As mentioned in section 6.2 above, the measurement of resistance based on MIC only, might have little bearing on bacterial survival to concentrations found in situ."

"Ledder et al. (2006) investigated acquired high-level triclosan resistance in a number of distinct environmental isolates and reported that a relatively small number of strains showed a decrease in triclosan susceptibility (E. coli, Klebsiella oxytoca, Aranicola proteolyticus and S. maltophilia) while the susceptibility of the remaining 35 species remained unchanged. They concluded that repeated exposures to triclosan did not systematically produce high-level triclosan resistance in all bacteria. Furthermore, among the strains with decreased susceptibility, there was no change in antibiotic susceptibility or susceptibility to other biocides. Similarly, another study by the same group on repeated exposure of dental bacteria to triclosan resulted in the same conclusions"

"Cole et al. (2003) collected 1238 isolates from the homes of users and non-users of antibacterial product and were unable to demonstrate any cross-resistance to antibiotic and antibacterial agents in target bacteria. In addition, this study showed an increased prevalence of potential pathogens in the homes of non-users of antibacterial products. "

"With our current state of knowledge, it is generally accepted that antibiotic resistance in clinical isolates is not necessarily associated with resistance to biocides. "

"urthermore, the antibiotic susceptibility profile of the oral streptococci investigated did not change following the use of triclosan containing toothpaste. Aiello et al. (2004) did not find any statistical significance between elevated triclosan MICs and antibiotic susceptibility in bacterial isolates taken from the hands of individuals using antibacterial cleaning and hygiene products for a 1-year period."

"The authors did not observe any increase in triclosan MIC in these bacteria"
I am certain that the FDA, with its ban on certain substances, has caused more deaths and misery than it has ever prevented. Not to mention financial losses.

Free Sales and Marketing Consultation – The Bitter Business
Deeper Progress in Artificial Intelligence is blocked by not having key insights into the structures, dynamics, and mechanisms which give rise to human general intelligence. While this is not more commonly discussed, it is becoming increasingly disclosed (i.e : https://www.technologyreview.com/s/602094/ais-language-probl...). Monad.ai aims to resolve the elusive language problem and many other limitations of Artificial Intelligence via the development of true Artificial Intelligence known as (AGI) : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_general_intelligenc....
Research uncovered new and more effective neuron models, neural network topologies, network elements, and an over-arching architecture which unifies the component pieces to achieve a truly 'aware' computational system that has general intelligence. At the core of the architecture is a functional model of consciousness.
The venture is now in its development phase whereby the conceptual and computational models developed during research are being codified into a functional system. The solution will embody an awareness and a potential that biological life has to develop and apply understanding that it gathers. Grasping this, one understands that the applications are limitless such as it is for Human beings. It is not an easy venture to detail as concepts like 'intelligence' and 'consciousness' are still not publicly understood.

Please take a lot at the site and let me know if you have any specific questions.
