> It's weird that the article says which president nominated which judge to the court.

Its not really weird, federal judges are political appointees performing a government function and research has shown, IIRC, that appellate judges tend to act, on controversial issues, in a way consistent with the appointing President on issues that were salient at the time they were appointed. So, who appointed them is very often something that is of interest to the kind of people concerned with reporting on judicial decisionmaking in the first place.
Well if they have a monopoly then someone should tell Diners Club, Discover and UnionPay to pack up shop and go home.
Data integrity is based on your datastore, not a web framework (or even an orm), performance is relative as generally the performance issue in a web application is the database and not the web framework, a complex framework? Just write the front-end with react and build the backend bits in django. I use django every day happily and fail to see any of these as reasons to dislike it.

Now if you had mentioned heavy concurrency I might actually take your comment a bit more seriously. Then the answer is don't use Django or python, use golang or C/Rust.
5 Things That Can Turn Open Source Users Away
Or it would encourage people to keep using the defective battery as a spare or old-age replacement.

For the record, I'm nominally in favor of "replaceable batteries". But I also don't see how having to open a case makes a battery "non-replaceable", either. If I had to choose between easily-replaceable batteries or easier to open cases that didn't use snap-fit, I'd choose the latter.
"Honorable" means "creates consumer surplus".

Rents are complicated to talk about, but the canonical example from Ricardo is land that is worth more because of where it is causing it to be more productive.

Take a parking lot in Manhattan - it'll be worth more and derive more income than the same area in Kansas farmland.
The owner does nothing to add this value - the value is created by the other people and buildings surrounding this parking lot.

Since this value is socially created, it's more justifiable to tax it on behalf of that society.

Since our alternative is to tax labor, it seems more equitable to tax rents.

This might be a problem with say, Micheal Jordan, who trades on his name for income that's pretty clearly his but it's still income from rents - the desire of others to use his fame creates the value, not anything he does in particular.

Nobody said this has to be easy.
Its only binding in the Ninth Circuit as a result of this decision, though in the absent of any ruling on the issue from the Supreme Court or any other Circuit court, the Ninth Circuit ruling is going to be among the strongest pieces of persuasive authority on the issue to present elsewhere, as well, should the issue arise.
Noobs uses buildroot not RISC OS ( https://github.com/raspberrypi/noobs ). Buildroot has Raspberry Pi configs upstream so it shouldn't be too hard to use it to build an image with a simple browser, Chromium in kiosk mode is probably a good bet.

There are several sites that are dated to ~46,000 years which is somewhat suspicious as it's approximately the limit for radiocarbon dating. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Indigenous_Australi... Lists a lot of dates prior to 46,000 years including as much as 200,000 (which is not generally accepted) but again not a lot of evidence for that.

However, if you accept the first habitation probably did not leave a lot of clear evidence some date prior to 46,000 years seems likely.

I can relate to Dell shady tactics and deceit. I too was a big fan of Dell products and recommended them plenty over the many years. Black Friday 2015 I got wind of Dell having a great deal on Xbox "bundle". I waited all day for the timing to be right so I could order it when it went live.

When it finally arrived at my house, I was missing several items that were part of the "bundle" I paid for. I was Missing the headset as well as the extra controller and free game they advertised. Calling their support was an exercise in patience as it turned into a debate about what I ordered. Dell had purposely sent the included receipt with tactically chosen wording that I had just ordered a normal Xbox bundle they always sold. A classic bait-n-switch.

I had an argument with the support person about that being wrong yet they insisted, DESPITE my time/date of order showing to purposely take advantage of the BF deal and a screen shot of my order. They still fought it as the included receipt was their trump card. So basically all a company has to do is fix the sent receipt and change the order wording and there is no defense for being taken advantage of? I was livid.

A quick search of the net found out I wasn't alone in this bat/switch Xbox bundle BF deal. Eventually they gave in to the headset and sent me a Dell gift card for the amount to order a headset through them. This was now further proof I had ordered a SPECIAL BF deal as they admitted it by comping the headset. But they still would not budge on the extra controller or the free game.

I decided to try and stick it to them instead for their deceptive tactics and issued a complaint with my credit card for not getting what I paid for. I filed for full amount of purchase of the BF deal and explained what happened to my CC company. They mentioned they had similar complaint already about same thing for someone else. So I did a chargeback. Not intending to get free Xbox but rather try to scare Dell to just make good.

Months went by and I find out Dell fought it, as expected. Dell now was offering me a full refund and to send everything back. I was ready to do just that and buy from elsewhere now BUT, get this, Dell said I had to pay for return shipping! So now instead of getting everything I paid for, they now expect me to be OUT $30 to ship it back with now NOTHING to show for.

So that is where it ended. I gave up. I wasn't getting the advertised controller or free game and just wasn't going to be -$30 at this point for nothing than to prove a point. So I kept the Xbox, paid for it and just accepted Dell has now become a piece of shit company. And I will NEVER buy or recommend to anyone, including many clients, Dell or anything the sell again.
Not from Dropbox but when you remove an app from accessibility permissions OS X will make you manually enable it again.
> Have you changed your mind about that?

No. Unlike a rootkit, context really matters in the case of a backdoor - not so much the implementation means. BO is no more a backdoor than vnc or sshd. Now if Dell decides to secretly package BO in their product line, then it is a backdoor.

> ...backdoors should only be describing intentionally weakened security.

I can't think of a backdoor that does not meet that description, do you have anything in mind?
Yet another reason I believe it is not unethical to lie to bureaucracies.
1. Yes the US would get the corporate tax revenue. The company is based in the US even if its employees aren't. You'd pay your taxes to the UK government when you repatriated any of the income from it.

Rounding to stupid numbers (.99) works just like rounding to reasonable numbers: there are some inputs where a sub-granularity change would push the result over the threshold and others where it would not.

But your observation gave me an entirely unrelated idea: could a merchant, online or not, use deliberately random "##.74 instead of ##.99" prices to give the impression of really tight margins, even when they are actually wide?

If anything is overpriced, tarsnap is -- or was, last time I compared prices. Also picodollars are a bit opaque.

I really wanted to use it and hoped it'd come out reasonably compared to alternatives, but I actually found none except buying a hard disk + raspberry pi myself and hosting it at a friend's place. That was cheaper by about a factor 2, which (at 3TB data) was too much to ignore for my student budget. This was about two years ago though.
This example builds a really simple tensorflow model that is able to predict the result of a function y = f(x) where y = f(x) is a straight line.

The tensorflow example is able to predict the result of this function for any x, without knowing the function itself only by knowing some example points (points for which the model knows both x and y).

This is a "Hello World" in the area of AI, adapted for the tensorflow library.

http://www.global-greenhouse-warming.com/images/SahulLGM.jpg... shows a fairly wide gap between Australasia and Europe. "However, Sahul and Sundaland even at the height of the LGM were separated by at least 80 kilometres (50 miles)." Last thing I read suggested the gap was ~100 miles though this may have been a more recent period.

Thus, a 50 mile gap between Asia and the United states was likely crossed a few times.
Epstein is an idiot and coal shill.

If you'd like a more nuanced version of that argument, I'd suggest Vaclav Smil, who's written at length on the topic of humans' interactions with the environment. I'm wrapping up his Energy and World History right now, which makes a similar case that fossil fuels have tremendously improved quality of life ... for a small fraction of humans currently alive. The impacts for others range from markedly less to net negative. The larger problem is that the situation isn't long-term tenable -- it will last so long as those fossil-fuel sources are cheap and abundant, and the sinks for their and associated effluvia are capable of absorbing insult without returning injury. Neither condition can be reasonably argued. (Yes, Epstein argues for both, he's not reasonable, and incapable of credible reasoned thought.)

The ultimate problem with Epstein's argument is that, in the face of limits to growth, the lives made possible through increased fossil fuels will only add to the deaths and suffering removal of that energy subsidy will result in.

Yes, overpopulation and overconsumption are problems. Systemic dynamics make addressing this exceptionally challenging.
Clearly then the US and EU should slap tariffs on Apple, as it was being unfairly subsidized by Irish tax scheme.
As the article mentions:

I assume Foxconn does not get subsidies to sell iPhones below cost :)

I'm curious about the cost of the indirection and the 2nd array vs the smaller sparse array (easier cachable), and thinking of doing the same for cperl hashes.

Ah. Quite a lot of things you mention are possible by dynamically generating yaml config.

I wrote a blog post about using go kubernetes library to generate yaml : https://kozikow.com/2016/09/02/using-go-to-autogenerate-kube.... It's quite nice, even for static config IMO, due to type safety.

You can easily write golang binary that would ask user series of questions "what database would you like", "do you want public access", etc. and get yaml as output.

I would be perhaps tempted to instead look for an old Android tablet. If you could get a 2013 Nexus 7 or some 10" tablet with a decent screen it might be a cheaper and easier way to do it. USB power + either some Android app or depending upon the device you might be able to run a different Linux distro on it. Looks like the Linx 10 goes pretty cheap sometimes too.
Glad to hear it.

40 smartest people of all time, and Niels Bohr didn't make the cut.

It's an arbitrary list but still a good read.
I find the awareness that the Earth is the only place on which humans, let alone modern civilisation, is likely to be able to exist and thrive, to well within the likely timeframe in which we might well eliminate some or all of that capability (say, the next 10, 100, or 1,000 years) makes for far more nuanced consideration.

What humans do to this world in the immediate now will have profound implications to what humans will be able to do anywhere, in any possible future.
Proof that the object passing by the Falcon9 during the explosion isn't a bird
I know my comment will sound crazy to most but it is clear that the object passing at the moment of the explosion isn't a bird or anything that can be identified. When the video is played at real speed, the object is almost imperceptible. That said it could very well be a bug or bird if the object was passing close by the camera but there is clear evidence that the object is moving behind the Falcon9. Here is what we see when looking closely at the slow motion video: https://youtu.be/HXqG-R8O39g
- First at second 37 we can see a reflection of the explosion on the upper right corner of the object. This let me think that the object is behind the Falcon9 otherwise how could we see a reflection on this angle?
- Second at second 41 we can see the object behind the third tower
- And while, many are those who will disagree with the first and second points by arguing that the image quality isn't clear enough to make a final judgement. The third proof that the object is moving behind the Falcon9 isn't debatable. Indeed, shortly after the object disappears on the left of the screen, it reappears on the lower left corner of the video at second 46. From there, it takes a diagonal trajectory to disappear once more on the top right corner of the video. During this second apparition, we can clearly see the object passing BEHIND the exploding Falcon9 and this is VERY CLEAR. Once again the object goes at such a speed that it can be barely seen when the video isn't slow down.
Conclusion: this object is moving behind the Falcon9 and so we can conclude that he's moving very fast. Faster than a bird or fly or even any type of conventional flying vehicle human have ever built...
I know this sounds crazy but please keep an open mind and look at it for yourself.
I remember working at a bike shop around this time and within 6 months all of our bikes went up in price like $50-100. I had no idea what was going on and asked one of corporate office guys what the deal was.

He said between India and China, they had both put huge strains on steel, aluminum and titanium and it was causing a shortage for bike manufacturers, so they were raising their prices since the prices for these metals had skyrocketed in recent months.

Good to know it was a little more to it, but interesting nonetheless.

> What subspecies has more than 10% of the species wide variation?

So you're not saying that the racial differences are large in absolute terms of how many genes are different, you're saying that they're large relative to the low overall genetic diversity of humans? That might be true[1], but that's because the denominator for a relatively new species is small, not because the numerator is large.

Also to me, a layman, if only 10% of our intra-species genetic diversity is between races that sounds like a pretty good case for disregarding race in the vast majority of situations.

> I said subspecies.

You said "The genetic distance between human races is greater than many species, and virtually all subspecies".

The fact that people lived close enough to observe rivers on fire might imply that they were willing to put up with it, for "progress" or "jobs." I don't think anybody lived right next to them.

Zappa lays claim[1] to the first use of the word "pollution" in any popular ( meaning non-academic ) media, by virtue of a song title, "Nine Types of Industrial Pollution." That's from 1969.

[1] no doubt erroneously - he just meant in his personal light cone.

I am actually saying - people can get used to anything, including living in trash. People went for centuries without bathing. My ( born around 1900 ) grandparents were once-a-week bathers. You're projecting the mores of the present on people who lived in the past - presentism, IMO.

We also have a heck of a lot more trash than people used to. They'd use fire barrels and dig middens to dispose of trash of they could. Trash trucks are also relatively recent. Obviously, those in concrete cities could not do that necessarily.

This I also know from direct observation.

The last time I tried Elementary, I had significant problems getting Geary to play nicely with Gmail. Gmail didn't recognize Geary as being a "verified" mail client.

The Loki notes didn't seem to mention this.
I started by hand at 400 grit and went up to 12000 grit by increments of 200 and a set of micro-mesh polishing pads. This process took about 5-6 hours per lens and a lot of elbow grease. Not really sure that qualifies as 3d printing.

However, I like the fact this was not one of those 3D print a case, insert bit's that do all the work. Well beyond film.
There's also something like the anthropic principle at play here. Any type of borderline policies that involved mild torture would likely be carried out by the CIA. And they serve at the direction of the President. The CIA didn't initiated these policies, they just fulfilled them.

Also it's not like every CIA employee supports torture. It's hard to say but this scandal represents a fraction of what the CIA does everyday, that truly serves the best interests of the American people.

They are easy to demonize by default.
This assumes all kinds of access to capital, good credit, business acumen, and other expectations of the owner/renter. For those affected by a shortage of affordable housing, buying/renting bigger and then subletting parking is most definitely not an option.
