The "beef" is that, whatever your research is, you already have access to better, faster, cheaper tools. Unless your area of research is "D-Wave machines", I suppose! Otherwise the computer you typed this comment on is unquestionably better for your area of research than a D-wave machine, because it 1) can solve a thousand times more types of problems and 2) is much faster at the tiny set of problems D-wave machines can address.

This is interesting research in an interesting area; it's certainly not a scam. But it's also not what you seem to imagine, doesn't work like you're assuming, isn't useful for what you hope, and shows no signs of being headed in that direction. Yes, 2000 entangled qubits that could be used to solve arbitrary problems would be amazing, but D-Wave isn't making that, isn't claiming to be making that, and doesn't seem to be working on a way to make that.
Most Americans (as well as non-Americans) would prefer other things, if they had them available. There are poor people out there.

Another one working home depot, etc. getting minimum wage --I'm not taking about highschoolers working McDonald's or the mall, I mean grownups.

My Lumia 735 does all the modern basics very well and everything I need in a phone. But the App store is like a ghost town so very little to distract you. It has some popular apps, but even then they not updated or poorly done to same ones on iOS/Droid.

I am coming from two years with a Blackberry Z10 myself and using WM10 now for 6 months has pleasantly made me a believer in it. It is simple, smooth and pretty well thought out. I am really surprised it doesn't gain more ground, but the world is all about APPS rather than the technical merits of the OS (otherwise BB10 would have become more popular).

The WM10 virtual keyboard is the best stock i've used and even beats the 3rd party ones i've tried on droid. It has awesome word prediction and built in swipe typing for those that prefer that. Cortana is VERY well done and again easily competes with Siri (I've actually had to whip out my phone a few times to quickly just find what my wife was asking for on her iPhone). Edge browser is fast and nimble (plus will be getting extensions soon I hope). Maps also is good enough. But best feature, to me, is how well WM10 ties into your Microsoft life; Office/Outlook plus Onedrive.

Just go through the settings to turn off any privacy stuff you may have concern with and it is a good modern phone for someone like me who has zero social media life other than texts. You can also get even a flagship phone used pretty cheap now as well. I am looking forward to the new Surface phone.
I think the major disagreement isn't whether law breaking is ok or not. The question is whether violating US immigration laws is a serious crime that requires harsh punishment or a minor crime the requires a slap on the wrist.

The "apologize, pay a token fine, get a work permit" crowd thinks violating immigration laws are like speeding, pot, or jaywalking laws. The "deport them all" crowd thinks violating immigration laws is like stealing or committing fraud.

That's why this issue won't be resolved any time soon. If liberals get a big enough majority there may be a one time amnesty or a change that allows new immigrants in. If the right got a big enough majority there would be a one time mass deportation or maybe a stupid wall. But the bottom line is that some people see it as no big deal, the others see it as a heinous crime, and it's a Rorschach test: agreement on who's right will never happen.

1. Steer by angling power-adjustable fins on the sides of the rocket.

2. Influence the direction of exhaust by controlling rudder vanes aft of the rocket engine.

3. Influence the direction of exhaust by changing the direction of the exhaust nozzle relative to the body of the rocket.
Yep the Right wing has come out and blamed it on renewables, the left wing has blamed it on climate change and the centrists are just calling for blood.

The reality is with 22 Main transmission towers which feed the state collapsed in high winds, even additional coal/gas stations would not have saved the day. At the time of shutdown, wind energy was producing close to 1000MW, it was the loss of transmission towers that caused frequency events leading the National Energy Market operator to Isolate the state from the rest of the Country. The cascading safety systems then caused all generators to shutdown.
I still find it useful to know about the person or organisation saying something. Some people and organisations have a history of being deceitful or irrational and it's pretty safe for a non-expert to just disregard their ideas with no consequence.

"I've heard this before, but I'm not aware of any lawsuits that have compelled any printer companies to stop this practice of tying their brand ink to the printer."

Why do you think I said they need to be sued for such a thing? Specifically because nobody has, yet. I know what HP does Re: their product; I've worked for them in the laptop repair department handling the water damage claims. Let me tell you, they did EVERYTHING they could to get out of honoring warranty and paid-for user damage warranty extensions. I'll guarantee you the second someone tries to return the printer for being defective and HP discovers that they used a 3rd-party cartridge, they'll try to get out of the warranty claim. The Magnusson-Moss act specifically states "Under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, the warranty cannot be conditioned to a specific brand of parts, services or vehicle modifications unless those parts or services are provided free of charge." HP charges for the ink carts. I would bet a good attorney would make this a simple case.
Can you give more information on this? I had no idea they had such a potent revenue stream in the services sector.

How about median household income?

Mississippi's median household income is $36,919. This compares to the UK's median household income of $31,617.

Note, of course, that this doesn't count social benefits. The UK's household income is lower, but they also get the NHS, better unemployment insurance, and so on.

I'm not terribly surprised that someone would think "neo-con" and "libertarian" were near synonyms. A lot of people seem to have it in their head that libertarians are just hardcore conservatives (and for some reason think neo-con just means an extremely conservative person).
They didn't really keep prisoners back then, certainly not for long periods of time.

Jailing someone is a relatively modern invention, back then they preferred corporal punishment (lashing most often).

Ha, economists agree is the best troll I have ever heard. There are enough different schools that many economists disagree about anything.

Regulatory capture is a different beast from actual regulation. It is what happens when corporations get to stack the government against everyone else via all sorts of lobbying and economical pressure.
Regulation now, that is a good thing, which happens when credible issues are detected.

Drug prohibition is more law than regulation - there was no real issue with abuse of THC originally.

If the issue was, say, low quality or highly addictive drugs, which also damage life, then the proper regulation would be to apply correct scheduling.

THC and likely MDMA should probably barely make it to schedule III. (With additional control due to abuse.) There are known medical uses of those and proper guidelines for dosage.
(Former is used for pain in cancer patients and more, latter an adjunct in psychotherapy and for recurrent migraines.)
Reclassified alcohol would be on the order of schedule II and tobacco as schedule I, with pure nicotine in schedule III.
On the other hand, something like GHB would remain in schedule I or less likely move to schedule II, as there are much better and safer hypnotics. Etc. and more.

Instead of public safety, someone made "potential to abuse" a priority, based on no or scant data, suppositions and politics. Random crisis handling, where no crisis is present.

Making these drugs correctly and usefully regulated should be the main aim of the DEA.
Does anyone who has worked in software for any period of time not realize this? Computers are dumb they (generally) repeat the same tasks reliably _compared to humans_. Occasionally there are system failures but most failure are caused by code or configuration changes, especially when they interact with inputs and systems in untested ways.

If they jump out at you, it should be trivial to argue them, right?

Thus the rule is no real obstruction to dialogue.

Lack of methodology is a valid argument, as opposed to just pointing out the funding. Why not contact them about it?
Or perhaps they have used some base sources, which could be made available to make their argument even stronger when exposed.
Hm. Good point.

Yes, and lactose tolerance in adulthood seems to have evolved quite recently (7000 BC IIRC). Of course, human infants are already lactose tolerant (so they can suckle). I'm guessing the switch-off evolvee for involuntary weening, and had survival value.

I believe bread, beer and wine pre-date cheese, and so the idea of a transformation through some agent wasn't that far-fetched. And milk obviously is nutritous. I'm not sure, but can you make sorta cheese, in the way that rotting fruit is natural fermentation, and dough can rise from wild-yeast (and unlevened bread was being eaten already). Once the idea is born, you can work to improve it.

It's easy to think of primitive humans as dummies, but they were probably smarter than most of us, and once they got an idea, they would tweak it. Plus, it only takes one clever and lucky person in a network of communities to hit on an improvement, for it to spread.

But there's a question of why the lactose tolerant mutation spread so widely... was there a starvation event? An outcompeting, or invasion by stronger, milk-fed warriors?

But I expect cheese making eating was very wide-spread well before this event, and it was a great source of calories. Blessed are the cheese makers.
Hey cool thanks! :)

My imagination isn't that good but I'm more than willing to take the risk of an ego bruise if seceding states wanted to go.

In fact, I'd be willing to pay for them to leave. Even willing to fund a wall on the Mason-Dixon line if they wanted one when the got independence.

And the first world part of the country wouldn't have to do such 'priggish' things as ending Jim Crow or endlessly fighting disenfranchisement. And those who feel oppressed by such outrageous intrusions as teaching evolution in schools, would have their own country to move to. Why they could have their war with Iran and a president who's testosterone levels are announced on the Dr Oz show while the rest of the country could move on. Everyone wins!
A phone number is presumed to have some level of identity proofing behind it (i.e. control over the phone number means you have a credit card, bank account, photo id, etc.).

Identity proofing is a hard problem!

I was actually pretty impressed with the immigration reform GW Bush tried to pass, but failed. Increase enforcement along with a process to legalize the ones already here. My memory is hazy on the details, but unless you've lived illegally in the US for more than X years (those people get legalized within the US), you need to leave the country, then apply and return. Of course this is dependent on having a good enough process to let them back in (which I remember it was), but it seemed a good compromise between enforcement and increased immigration.
Perhaps it is USPS that should be exposed to competition [1]. If other carriers were permitted to ship to mailboxes, I have no doubt they would provide a better service. Note I am referring to the United States Postal Service (government run), not United Parcel Service.

10 Weird Cases of Genetic Mutations in Humans
Yet another Socialist Utopia. They all seem to fail, and yet the excuse/explanation always focuses on faults in each specific implementation, or on malevolent external forces. It's never the overall idea that's questioned.

E.g. here's a headline:

How Socialism Failed Venezuela[1]

but no, that can't be possible. So here's the alternative headline:

US-Led Economic War, Not Socialism,
Is Tearing Venezuela Apart[2]

In that article we learn that: millions of Venezuelans have seen their living conditions vastly improved through the Bolivarian process. The problems plaguing the Venezuelan economy are not due to some inherent fault in socialism, but to artificially low oil prices and sabotage by forces hostile to the revolution.

Yeah, it's those darned meddling Yankees who are to blame. I'm sure they are the ones who convinced Chavez to nationalize the cash-cow oil industry, leading to: Chávez’s policies damaged Venezuela's oil industry due to lack of investment, corruption and cash shortages.[3]

It's interesting that the CFO of FedEx claims this is unreasonable. Given that Amazon has at least two major other products (AWS + The core store), it seems that they could potentially operate their delivery/logistics operations at cost and undercut UPS/FedEx. Given that delivery/logistics is UPS/FedEx is their core business, they can't.
This is a really important issue. I'm sure all the folks from China and India who waited 10 to 15 years to get a Green Card will be really happy if an amnesty happens.

The comparison to slavery is apt. It's all part of a scheme to replace the empowered middle classes with powerless wage slaves. That, and to encourage violence from immigrants while taking arms and will to resist away from citizens, to necessitate the further militarizing our police force and forceful control of the population.
I'm parroting the information I've gotten from hearing people who work with the D-Wave describe their research, reading their papers, and friends who work in the area. So no, I didn't just read a popsci headline that tickled my contrarian bone.
Also note that Google acquired Swiss company Endoxon for their maps technology, providing them with many Swiss employees early on. Endoxon was much more advanced technology-wise than Google's own service at that time. That acquisition is also the reason why the Google maps team is located in Zurich.

You certainly can do that. A little discussed benefit (or curse) of a microservice is maintaining an API (as opposed to ABI).

tssva, great points. Gravity is basically Kubernetes-on-Teleport, and our distribution of k8s has additional security measures built-in, where Teleport (in a library form) is acting more or less on a lowest "root" level which the infrastructure owner can optionally turn on/off for pieces of their infrastructure, we'll be gradually publishing more documentation on Gravity soon, but you're right: RBAC lives one level higher.

I know your pain, but that said; you don't have to be 'another Paypal' by being a bastard about things; fast response and explaining why you do the things you do instead of just closing an account and saying 'rules blah' when being publicly (on HN) (and yes, I am aware of the scheme rules, hence I know your pain, but explaining yourself will keep people happy, hiding behind banking & scheme rules with unhelpful canned responses does not) outed for what you did is not acceptable in this day and age. Paypal is hated by many for this behavior, as is Google. Why do you want to join those ranks instead of explaining things like you did here?
I disagree, on liberal and humanitarian grounds.

These people make the risky and grueling trip to the US and try to make it as an illegal immigrant, for a reason: they feel the alternative is worse. They'd rather be picking crops and remitting money to their family back home, doing the jobs Americans don't do. You should be blaming the drug war that caused the Sinaloa cartel and others to take over entire cities, and resort to violence we now know from ISIS.

It's a bit like blaming the Koch brothers for hiring convicts for jobs because the convicts would be happy with less. When properly you should be blaming all the other employers whose refusal to hire convicts leads to them CHOOSING to take these jobs.

In short, even though I am a liberal, I recognize that these arguments about "exploitation" are myopic. They don't look 1 step beyond the "exploiter" to see whatconditions make people CHOOSE to be "exploited". Always, the real fix is to fix the conditions at large, not the employer.

So it is with the jobs that "no one wants". I would rather Mexicans come and do them for less, and American citizens get freed up to study other subjects and get higher paying jobs.

In fact I'd advocate for taxing 20-30% of the money saved from hiring overseas workers and automating jobs away and redistributing it as basic income on the federal level. That would help transition our economy from the one we had 20 years ago to one where aggregate demand for human labor has droppd by 10x.
