Maybe you are thinking i8. The i3 is fully electric, in the sense that the wheels are driven directly by an electric motor. It is available with an optional "range extender" which is a combustion engine that produces electricity but doesn't directly drive the wheels.

Also a electric MINI is no news. They had a fleet of them since at least 2009 but as far as I know didn't sell them publicly. I applied to test one for a year in 2010 but unfortunately wasn't selected.

I find the conspiracy theories surrounding 9/11 somewhat amusing.

With regards to controlled demolition - how on earth would anyone be able to rig the buildings for controlled demolition without anybody noticing?

And why use slow-acting thermite when shaped charges would be more efficient and harder to detect (both before, during and after the event)

Not to mention - how have They(tm) been able to keep their conspiracy under wraps?

Seriously - you pull off a massive gig like this, hardly the work of a couple of lone wolves - and no-one talks?

Why I’m not using Fastmail
I'd be interested to hear how the radar handles other radar signals. Given the use of police radar, radar detectors, and radar based collision avoidance like what's found in the rear tail-lights of some Ford F150's and of course are used on a fair number of Audi's it would seem the environment could get noisy at times. Yes, the Tesla radar could operate at a specific frequency that would minimize interference, but what happens when a bad actor decides to intentionally "blind" that radar signal? I assume given this is a life critical system that it would have countermeasures, perhaps utilizing a LIDAR or camera based backup?
I always assumed that humans evolved eyes adapted to the wavelengths of light because it gave optimal information to avoid collisions. (Well, except for glass panes; we're not genetically optimized for those.)

It feels scary to discard millions of years of evolution and go with radar-first, but as always, time will tell.

The vital question
No no, this is a common misunderstanding about Cap'n Proto. It does not take your regular in-memory data structures from your regular programming language (even C++) and put them on the wire. What it does is defines its own specific data layout which happens to be appropriate both for in-memory random-access use and for transmission.

Cap'n Proto generates classes which wrap a byte buffer and give you accessor methods that read the fields straight out of the buffer.

That actually works equally well in C++ and Javascript.
How Facebook’s News Feed Works – As Explained by Facebook
RiotEmbed.js Coding Going Well
Because even if they don't use those permissions today, it is easier to ask for them up front rather than reduce their update rate when rolling out stuff that does use it.

This is often combined with release notes like FB and Pinterest where they say something like "we're adding great stuff all the time but we won't tell you what it is until you've installed and can't roll back even if you hate it, so upgrade now to get the latest!"

The trend seems to be most prominent among ad supported apps, which doesn't surprise me. They need to future proof their data collection options. Can't say I blame them from a business standpoint as much as I dislike it as an end user.
that scenario is covered in the second paragraph ;)

The PLA is trying to establish a power projection capability.

There are very few militaries in the world that can routinely operate on a large scale a long way from their home bases. The US can and does. Russia can do it with difficulty. Britain can do it on a small scale. Beyond that, few armies have the logistics capability. China is gearing up to join the club.

There's also the PLA Navy's aircraft carrier program, which is progressing slowly. They have one refurbished USSR aircraft carrier in commission for training purposes, and two ramp-type carriers under construction.

This doesn't seem to be the PLA's big effort, though. Most of their new weapon systems are for sea dominance in China's coastal waters, broadly defined.

The IPCC says nearly all predicted deaths will happen in the future. In a future where by all current data, the world will be a richer more capable place. The future deats are mere guestimations as only the extreme limits of hubris would attempt to accurately predict the capabilities of people 50 or 100 years from now.

Whereas the deaths from higher food prices are here and now. You could easily get on a plane and meet the people condemned to die from arbitrarily higher energy prices.
I am fairly confident "someone" could write a composition-based UI. I know of no fundamental reason why that would be impossible, or even any more difficult than doing one with inheritance.

However, that does not solve the problem that all the mature existing UI widget toolkits are based on inheritance, and that causes a serious "impedance mismatch" with languages that don't have inheritance.

As I expect more languages to start privileging composition over inheritance, I also therefore expect this problem to continue to become more acute until "someone" finally solves it. However, GUI toolkits are huge and "someone" is likely to be a substantially-sized organization. The problem is going to have to become very painful before it is solved well.

Actually, he does talk about modern approaches to AI. He just says, they don't change shit. You know when neural networks were invented? In 1943.
Computers are way better than me at a lot of things: arithmetic, remembering things, surviving on a diet of plain electricity, just to mention a few...

Transferring local patterns between images and playing Go have recently been shown to be a few more of those things. But how far will that generalize? Nobody knows.
As soon as a computer becomes better than the human (either best or average one) in something which was considered as a sign of intelligence, immediately texts will be written why this is not a sign of intelligence and why intelligence is something completely different. This repeats many times. The same holds for creativity.

I have rather the impression that lots of people who write this kind of papers rather want some computer program who is just like them - just a little bit more clever or creative (call it narcissism) instead of some computer program that is "intelligent" or "creative". These people don't understand that one shouldn't judge a fish by its inability to climb a tree.
People are calling this a truther article. It's not surprising when it's written by people like this:

Ted Walter is the director of strategy
and development for Architects & Engineers
for 9/11 Truth (AE911Truth),
a nonprofit organization that today
represents more than 2,500 architects
and engineers. In 2015, he authored AE-
911Truth’s Beyond Misinformation: What Science Says
About the Destruction of World Trade Center Buildings 1,
2, and 7. He holds a Master of Public Policy degree from
the University of California, Berkeley.

The article is full of truther bullshit. You've said, twice, that this article is about WT7. The article is full of detail on the twin towers as well as WT7.
It's best not to think about it. Conspiracy theorists have a tendency to take confirmation bias to an extreme. If you provide a counter argument, they don't respond to that argument, they attack your character by "realizing" that you're part of the conspiracy too.

It never stops to amaze how software improvements can greatly expand the capability of a given hardware - all this is done on top of the 2014 autopilot hardware. That is, what I like about software - there seem to be very few hard limits you cannot work around with a clever new approach.

In the race to the self-driving car, Tesla now has one big advantage: they have tens of thousands of cars with the autopilot hardware driving around every day. This gives them a huge lead in the amount of data about their software performance - just comparing what the radar sees and how the human drives in any situation should make a difference.
"The fact that we even call these systems “predictive” is itself a telling sign of excessive confidence in the systems."

If you are worried about the outcome of the language in police intervention and court cases then "Speculative policing" would seem a more appropriate term for the technology and cary less weight. This might be an area suited for the FTC to step in and ask the industry to fix their marketing to be more inline with what they actually offer.
Computers cannot take images and produce output in the style of major artists. If you think they can, give them realistic art and watch them embed eyes from the source image into your mouth.

This is not to say that it can't ever be done, just that right now it isn't done by people claiming they can do it. That articles with results similar to 100x cheaper random texture synthesis from 15 years ago get published and hyped in the general press tells you how much of an AI bubble we live in right now.
Human creativity is not some magical thing. Plenty of humans create things of absolutely no value to their surroundings while being creative.

Creativity is much more likely a human way of understanding the ability to create new new things with some sort of a purpose or intent.

But humans have limits to their ability to create things too. There are things that only machines can create and perform.
Yeah, when I did the Coursera course I supplemented it with the CS229 materials to get more of the theory behind everything, which worked great. If you want more math rather than less, it's the way to go.
My read of this is that the authors believe they have a "novel" candidate set of universal semantics and an API to encapsulate what seems to be well known patterns in this space.

I think this approach is viable in conjunction with reusable components and radically swappable backends: ICG would be the non-moving interface that (per the claims) would allow perfect reuse without modification due to changed storage model.

However the typical consumer of products in this space is building high performance and tightly integrated systems. And in terms of contributions to formal definitions, it seems they are introducing neologisms that fairly match one to one to existing terminology and concepts.

> To program with ICG, applications need to wait asynchronously for multiple replies to an operation (where each reply encapsulates a different guarantee on the result) while doing useful work, i.e., speculate. To the best of our knowledge, no abstraction fulfills these criteria. [1]

I didn't mean it as a derogatory term. I mean mostly that I assume that the data and methodology is sound (because it seems straightforward to calculate). But my main contention is not only if that data justifies targeting blacks disproportionately for stops and frisks, but whether that increased targeting can be implemented in a way that doesn't ultimately lead to a bad feedback situation and/or quotas that lead to arbitrary searching, as the Schoolcraft situation exposed.

And there's the question of whether or not it reduces crime, and if it does, does it at a rate that exceeds the rate of increased mistrust in society, the kind of mistrust that often fosters law breaking behavior.

You're making things too difficult.

You are looking for the one right answer. No such thing. Whichever you pick will have its short comings.

Remember programming languages are tools, they exist because they fill a need.

Also you have a lot of points here. Get started with one, then move on to the others.

You said you are interested in functional. Pick one. The easy way is to pick the most popular. Do a google search. Pick the most popular one, at least you'll be able to ask for help and have someone that's been in a similar situation.

For mobile, what do you have available? Pick that platform. iOS takes a bit more money. If you have both pick the one you use the most. I hear iOS brings in the most money but unless you have a great idea it's hard to standout from the millions of apps.

For web, look at what's popular so you'll have help when needed. People will tell you to use this or that but once you get started and have a few projects you'll understand what's best for you.

You can ask and ask but you will never know until you get going. Define a project, pick what language you find interesting at random and focus on only that until you finish a project.

You'll find out what you like and dislike and you'll be able to pick what language is best for you.
Ukraine has traditionally been the location of most Soviet block aerospace engineering and manufacturing, and much of it is still being manufactured there.

For example, several current models of Russian helicopters and military ships rely on engines made only in Ukraine, and the recent conflict and disruption of the military industrial complex (which used to and still is rather connected between Ukraine and Russia) has caused delays in producing these craft since you can't really replicate it easily, it takes a lot of time, skill and effort.

Also, lots of military rocket manufacture (from shoulder-operated to very large SAM) was and is located in Ukraine. Together with their rather large nuclear industry (currently civilian, but they used to manufacture warheads as well, plus the missile and guidance systems) they probably could be a first-rate nuclear power with MIRV ICBMs if there was a political will to make it so again.
There is some remarkable fiction coming out this season by some of the best:

Alan Moore's Jerusalem

Jonathan Lethem's A Gamber's Anatomy

Ha Jin's The Boat Rocker

T.C. Boyle's The Terranauts

Michael Chabon's Moonglow

Cormac McCarthy's The Passenger

I've got plenty of friends who never touch fiction because "it's not real". Preferring science, history, economics, biography and virtually anything else. But I think its obligatory at times. The soul requires it's own nourishment, if not more so than the body and the mind. Indulge yourself. If only because great writing will make your writing greater, as if by osmosis. But ultimately, because only fiction can uncover the truths that can't be revealed any other way ;)

Most developers learn in one major language first, then adding others as they expand. Since you're looking to make money by selling software, you're probably going to work on 1) a website or 2) a mobile app or 3) desktop app (basically similar to a mobile app; compiled software probably distributed through an app store).

Do you have an Android or an iPhone? Download the IDE for your respective platform, get Hello World running on your phone. There, you're now a developer :D. Next step, follow some tutorials. Don't paralyze yourself with these decisions that seem important, they're really not.

All languages have design flaws. Thats why people keep making new languages. Arguing that Rust does not have design flaws is going to arouse more skepticism then anything else.

It is not mandated that you 'must' write safe code but that you 'can' write safe code. So there really is no fundamental assurance that rust and its libraries are in fact 'safe' by Rusts own definition in any meaningful sense.

You could make the same style argument that C is a 'safe' memory language also as long as you use automatic memory management and no malloc. Of course that would be a rather disingenuous claim to make.
... after getting a front-row seat to two massive buildings collapsing. There was some serious damage to the building from the collapse of the towers, which was after all responsible for starting many of the fires.

Also, as far as I'm aware, almost all skyscrapers with major fire damage are largely uncontrolled fires on one or two floors, rather than uncontrolled fires throughout the entire building.

Also: http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Tanker-fire-destroys-p... --that's a steel structure (overpass, not a skyscraper) being collapsed entirely due to an out-of-control fire (due to a crashed gasoline truck).

Yikes. Dis-recommend. I started my career in C, which was my first programming language, back in the mid-90s. It's been advantageous for me in my particular field (vulnerability researchers should know C), but I look back and wince about all the energy and time I wasted shipping code in C and C++.

It's also, for this particular question, the family of programming languages most hostile to functional programming.

ES5 JS is a clunky language, but people have built amazing things in it. ES6 JS is a credible language on its own terms. I wouldn't be wary of someone saying "Javascript sucks" (I would mostly agree), but I would be wary of someone who said "Javascript isn't a programming language".
