Simply inaccurate.

This is really what prompted the response, you can easily find examples of him conceding points to his opponents online.

In his discussions with Hitchens, the default mode is for both participants to bounce between encyclopedic historical/geographical trivia and playfully needling one another. However there are moments where each will say that the other has made an interesting point and carry it forward further. 21:30 here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AeGKcX-JHNE Earlier and later in the piece Buckley ganged up with Hitchens against Tyrell.

Most of Buckley's opinions are really dated, stuck in a version of Cold War politics that is nearly incomprehensible today, so I'm not trying to endorse his conclusions.

But he is one of the few people I've ever seen on television that has actually waited to hear what the other person says, even rephrasing it to make sure he's clear on their exact arguments before responding. That sort of patience has become a unicorn in entertainment today.

Sometimes his conversations flew off the rails, but he pulled off good conversations from time to time with people he deeply disagreed with.

Maher desperately tries to have difficult conversations, and sometimes succeeds, but it's like he's got a 30 second shot clock above the cameras measuring how often they need to slip in a punchy zinger and change the subject.

Real disagreements are just damn hard to capture on television with the attention span of most audiences. Mostly we just ended up with people shouting over each other. After watching talking heads shows today, going back and watching Buckley argue with someone is a surreal experience, easily preferable in contrast.

It's not just the lawyers. It's even much more basic and mundane stuff, like fines and fees.

Say you parked your car in a wrong spot - a mistake that many people make at least once in their life. In US (and many other countries), the fine for that is a fixed amount. For some people it's pretty much chump change, while for the others it can be the difference between paying a different bill late or not.

Yet others can't pay the ticket at all, and then there's a fine for not doing that. If you're poor enough, you can easily rack up thousands of dollars in debt to the government for something as trivial as parking in a wrong spot, or having a broken taillight (which you don't have money to fix).

Then you get an arrest warrant, and that's when court fees and lawyer fees start piling in - on top of everything you've already accrued.

And, of course, because you can't post bail, they lock you up, and by the time you get out (assuming you're lucky with your public defender and do get out), you have probably lost your job. If you're especially unlucky, you may have also lost your rental, and your things have been thrown out onto the street.

Worse yet, some municipalities have learned the rules of that game, and decided that they want a cut. Ferguson is a prominent example, but it is one among many.

http://www.npr.org/2014/08/25/343143937/in-ferguson-court-fi...

How do you fix it? Well, insofar as fines are meant to be punitive, you scale them to the income of the person being fined, for example.

To be fair to the operators, they may not have reason to believe that their machines are overloaded or unbalanced. I've washed a lot of clothes in my life. It's been my experience that even properly loaded machines will occasionally shift the load in such a way as to become severely unbalanced. I don't think it's such a cut and dried case of operator negligence. The machines themselves provide little to no feedback to the operator. Older machines had clutches installed which would prevent the machine from spinning the drum hard enough to vibrate the machine apart. If Samsung et. al. have removed this hardware safeguard from their machine, they better have a damn good story to justify why they don't need it.
That's like using the titanic as an argument against cruise ships. It's one very specific scenario.
>When did we loose our heads and think such an architecture is sane?

It's not sane. That's the entire purpose of the talk.
>In fact, I know that these machines do have warnings to not overload them. What more could reasonably be expected of Samsung?

The question of what to "expect" is beyond my pay-grade, but this sounds like a design problem.

The traditional solution to this problem is an interlock (eg microwave doors). An accelerometer might sense when vibrations exceed safe limits and limit the drum speed or cancel the cycle.

As Don Norman points out, text labels are a sign of unclear design.[1] Do washing machine users and and washing machine designers have the same definition of "overloading?" Can you show it graphically? Project a laser level? Change the shape of the door or front cover? A visual line directly in the drum itself? (the drum ideally returns to a 'home' position)

So our project (XG) was about developing radio networks that could opportunistically use spectrum without a priori channel allocations. That was hard enough when you took into account challenging environments (terrain obstacles, jammers, etc). But DARPA decided the radios also had to be able to make decisions in conformity with regulatory policies written in this declarative XML language. It became this huge tangential AI project: http://xg.csl.sri.com/technical_reports.php.
This is not appropriate. Iran should not have demanded any of this crap. This is beyond objectionable. If you are hosting a world event, you adjust to the norms of the world not the other way round.

> qualification for an age pension at 67

>only household expenses between age ~40 and 67 need to be budgeted for

Pension is $20k/year. You're an Aussie, so you know how incredibly high our cost of living is. 35cents/kWh for electricity (!!) 3x what some places in the US pay + the insane prices we pay for groceries, gas, entertainment, vice taxes etc.

Unless you have supplemental income from investments you will be straddling the poverty line on the Australian pension. I've seen pensioners mend shoes with gaffer tape.

This all assumes that the pension system stays solvent which is not guaranteed. Already there is talk of lifting retirement age to 70+

Your story is a perfect illustration of "anecdotes are not data", and self-selection bias.

Think about it: the reason why you're telling us the story is that you have succeeded. If you didn't, you probably wouldn't be hanging out here on NH.

And so we have your success story, but we don't know how many people persevered just as much, but didn't succeed because the curve was just too steep for them.

So there's no practical way to gauge your exceptionalism from this story, or derive any practical conclusion from it. Most importantly, we don't know if your success was 90% hard work and 10% luck, or 10% hard work and 90% luck.

(Note, this isn't to imply that you didn't have to work hard. What this means, rather, is whether working as hard as you did guarantees success, or merely buys you a ticket to the lottery, in which you still have a fairly low chance of winning, despite all that hard work. The latter is the "10% hard work and 90% luck" case.)

And it's especially hard to self-evaluate. When you have heavily invested in all that hard work, psychologically, you're that much more likely to attribute your success to it rather than external factors, and you start thinking of it as "inevitable". The reason is that success as a result of hard work fits our notion of fairness (which ethologists say is hard-wired pretty deep on biological level) very well, and so we automatically assume a causative link between the two, on the basis that the world is "inherently fair": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Just-world_hypothesis

Ouch indeed. That's pretty bad. It's believable when I think back to the purpose of these chips: handling workloads that were more I/O and concurrency bound than CPU bound. So, probably identify and eliminate these problems early on even if developer has to drop some threads or cores.

Note: There's always my other recommendation of turning open-source Leon3 into a multicore. Im curious what it or Leon4 get on such a benchmark versus Intels on similar process nodes.
Yeah, but you have to pay for good CS college programs, usually. Or spend a lot of effort to find them for cheap or free (and learn enough to be able the good ones from the bad ones first).
So our choices are to build a peeping tom or a terminator? Whatever we build is likely to be both. (Any open-ended goal necessarily has subgoals of 'acquire information' and 'defend self by force if necessary'.)
Are you talking from your own experience? I am. I made a million dollars and it wasn't easy but it was actually a lot more difficult to invest $1 million and make more money with it. I personally found it a lot more difficult.

I think most people greatly underestimate the difficulty in investing money successfully.

If you are talking about the amount of time invested ... yes of course there is a lot less time spent investing. However if you are talking about the probability of success I would argue It's not as high as you would think to take $1 million and turn it into $2 million.
Actually yes, but so most sites has some legalese in the TOS and there is also fair use.

Much of our human testing only happened after a human attempted to use it for suicide, unsuccessfully. If anything this example helps to prove the parent's point.

from your wikipedia link

After an incident in 1951, where a US Army inductee unsuccessfully attempted suicide with multiple doses of warfarin in rodenticide and recovered fully after presenting to a hospital, and being treated with vitamin K (by then known as a specific antidote),[70] studies began in the use of warfarin as a therapeutic anticoagulant. It was found to be generally superior to dicoumarol, and in 1954 was approved for medical use in humans. An early recipient of warfarin was US president Dwight Eisenhower, who was prescribed the drug after having a heart attack in 1955.[70]
So, what DNS server do you use? I trust Google's DNS (I use the normal DNS ones, 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) a lot more than I trust Comcast's DNS servers. I'm sure there are others out there, of course, but 8.8.8.8 is good, reliable, and easily memorized.

I have to say, this all sounds extremely familiar. I didn't reach the same conclusion by consciously tracking expenses; it was actually in the process of fixing of one of those mistakes by throwing money at it when it suddenly hit me: "What would I be doing right now if I were living paycheck to paycheck? That would have been much, much more painful. Oh..."
It would help, but a lot of places just don't do it. They said thieves target places that neglect security, which there are plenty of.
If you had the TLS connection open to Google, there's a bit of overhead because the request is longer, and the response is longer than native DNS, plus http headers (hpack and content-encoding would help), but I wouldn't expect it to spill to a second packet for either request or response. Encrypt/Decrypt is probably not a big deal compared to network latency. Assuming Google runs dns.google.com in the same locations it runs its port 53 services, then it's still one round trip either way.

If you don't have the connection open, you still have to do a port 53 DNS lookup to find out where to connect (1 round trip to configured dns server), plus open a tcp connection (1 round trip), setup tls (1 round trip, assuming TLS false start), DNS request (1 round trip); so 4 round trips vs 1.
There is no guarantee the stock market will return money in the future. The past does not equal the future and in fact some experts predict that the stock market will return around 3% on average going forward. Also even if the average return was 7% most people have achieved much less than that.

Looking at the affected models, they all seem to have one thing in common: far too much plastic. At least the cabinet is still metal, which helped contain those fires.

Goldman's Libya Salesman Was a Little Too Good
This isn't exactly true, since the human meaning of "enhance" is quite different from the evolutionary meaning. For example, iodine (an element, not even as big as a molecule) supplementation at the fetus and early childhood stages can, among other benefits, result in as much as a 13 point IQ increase from a previously deficient region's average. This is a huge enhancement by human standards. Why hasn't evolution found a way to have our bodies produce iodine automatically (perhaps by producing iodomethane like some algae?) at that stage of life, or maybe only by the mother when the child is in the womb or perhaps produced and distributed only with breast milk? Then even if you lack natural sources of iodine you'll still benefit. It should be easy, it's just a single element!

Well even for "simple" things like the addition of a single new element, or a single new molecule, or a single new protein, the details are complicated, and any mutation that depends on a prior mutation to be beneficial has to wait until the prior mutation is close to fixation and is common among the species. Evolution is slow and only cares about reproductive fitness, and can easily get trapped in local maxima and a species can even evolve to extinction. Because of that, it can miss obvious (to human intelligence) low hanging fruit. So I don't think that "evolution would have found it already" argument is very compelling. Evolution is dumb, it's amazing it works at all.
