The side using these weapons hopes that US is rational and would rather lose face and backdown rather than take down the whole world with it.

So it is true, these new weapons are destabilizing.

The fact that US stumbled like a drunk into these conflicts that allowed these test cases by Russia and China to be on the table has to be one of the line items against the treasonous criminals that have been running this country for the past few decades. It did not have to be this way.

That would be MACRO-32, the VAX assembler/assembly language dialect. As a considerable part of the VMS kernel is written in VAX assembly, they treat it as a high level language and compile it to Alpha, IA64 and now x86-64.

Other parts of the kernel are written in C (newer code) and BLISS (older code). See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BLISS
It's definitely more in the first category, and the psychology behind watching shows vs movies:

1) We live in a multitasking world where people are half watching netflix and half on their phone. TV plots typically develop in smaller chunks, requiring less attention.

2) Most people do not set out to binge watch multiple hours of netflix, but instead get caught up in the shows. Movies feel like a larger commitment, even though many times people watch for the same total length of time.

3) Binge watching often happens because the TV show model is to often end on a cliff hanger.

It would be a "modest increase" if we had spare carrying capacity. Instead, what we have now is a situation that is going from bad to worse, but since the crisis is unfolding in slow motion, most people do not recognize it as such; after all, most people alive today have either never seen what a good situation looks like, or where too young to grasp the meaning of the changes they observed back then.

The (human) carrying capacity of Earth was estimated to be around 2 billion, which was surpased sometime in the late 1920's. Contrary to other comments here, that does not mean that after you hit population 2,000,000,0001 we all die (we clearly did not). Instead, what it means is that given the technological level we had at that time, we'd consume renewable resourses faster than they can renew themselves, and we'd also produce waste faster than the environment can degrade it. Otherwise, more than 2B people would cause environmental degradation, which would itself reduce the carrying capacity in the long term.

Please note this definition is tied with humans technological level. It is not set in stone, since we have some degree of control over our impact in the environment, and we have the ability to use the same resources in a more efficient way. The big tragedy of 20th century is that this fact was not recognized but for a handful of theorists, and therefore it was not a political and economic goal to explicitly manage the carrying capacity of Earth. As of 2016, the situation is still the same.

By example, we gained a bunch of technologies that allows us to do the same stuff more efficiently. Given explicit economic incentives, we might have... maybe doubled our carrying capacity (CC=4B). Unfortunatelly, because this was not a goal itself, we engaged in a buch of economic practices that negated much of this benefits, so if we are generous these might have been reduced by half (e.g. CC=3B). Also given that population growth was not arrested back in the 1970's, but only slowed down, the carrying capacity has not improved at all (CC=2B).

Currently, environmental degradation is going in overdrive. We have lost a lot of time, and the resources we need to make an orderly transition are already commited to keep the system going. Population will go down, one way or the other. I don't believe in a single sharp die off many apocalyptic thinkers profetize, but adding and extra 1.6B mouths to feed will make the downward tendency of the curve more steeper than it needs to be.

> As far as I now, the answer is yes to Windows (not Linux), and you can legally watch US stuff in Europe as long as your iTunes account is associated with a US account as far as I know (98% certain I did exactly this a couple of years ago).

Sorry, but according to content right owners (Sony being named among the chief ones), that's not legal or acceptable. If they say you're not allowed to watch a movie in EU, it's copyright infrigement for you to pay for it in EU via US iTunes account.

If that water is from rain then it's a renewable resource, and if it's not used it will just flow to the sea and be wasted. There are places like Wales, with a wet climate and hilly terrain that are poorly suited to arable cultivation but ideal for livestock. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agriculture_in_Wales

However, freeing up more land for plants means we could grow the same amount of food using less intensive cultivation techniques, eg. rotating in nitrogen-fixing crops instead of relying on energy-intensive Haber process fertilizers.

"Bread and butter" - there's no differential income stream from anything on Netflix. It's just two bits' worth - streaming yes/no, DVD yes/no.

I'd be hard pressed to find the link to support this, but my understanding is that DVD/BluRay sales are the mechanism by which the "last mile" of movie finance is accomplished.

My wife and I recently made the decision to stop Netflix. We'd kept a tally and Amazon Video was used more than 10:1 than Netflix. We do have Amazon Prime ( which I suspect Amazon cannot keep up forever ). But for movie movies, we still DVR them from cable.

The Netflix experience is like giving up on the new releases portion of Blockbuster and trolling through the back of the store for older titles, leaving disappointed. From here, it smells like artificial scarcity. But I'm not buying too many more titles on physical media - I don't want to store them and if I ever get a buyer figured out, I'll sell a lot of what we already have.

Most of what we'd buy are the TCM offerings of classic movies.

Long term homelessness is generally not just a result of lack of money. Healthy individuals can usually get out of homelessness with a bit of help. People suffering from severe mental illness or severe substance abuse have a much more difficult time escaping homelessness because they often have no support network and no way to rebuild one, and they have difficulty retaining any sort of employment.
There aren't that many film series or sets where you can easily jump in and out of attentiveness, like you can with a TV show once you're familiar with the characters. I do remember having the James Bond marathons on TV all day, but anything less formulaic means having to make a substantial investment of attention when starting a new "chunk".

You're probably right, but I hate that the work free software developers contribute to LLVM & clang will end up being taken proprietary by the likes of Apple. With GCC one knows that the users of one's code will always have the ability to run, read, modify & share that code, rather than having their rights stripped away.
Absoloutely! We should 100% be able to discuss issues and our experiences.

English as a third language would explain the "tone" issue as the "nuance" (or subtlety) of you point would likely be harder to communicate.

I think acknowledging the good parts before delivering constructive criticism might help, but then, internet voting sites are also tremendously fickle and difficult to predict.

I think this post above does manage to communicate your point without sounding as negative.

In my case, I work at an agency - so our choice of database is in some ways driven by more than just the best tool for the job, but one that inspires our clients' trust AND is cost effective to work with. MSSQL does an excellent job of "inspiring trust" but it is also amazingly easy to develop for.

Our clients aren't worried about "overkill" or buying more database than they need. In the scope of a multi-million dollar project, the overpowered database is worth the piece of mind.

None of us on this end are "married" to SQL SERVER, but since we already own the license for one, and offer shared hosting of the database server or give a pass-through-cost for a dedicated server, it seems like a perfectly reasonable choice.

But we've both got our perspective and yours offers a good perspective. "As a DBA, SQLSERVER is often overkill" but if the client prioritises stability, recover-ability, maintainability, over cost (a "one time cost" of roughly 25% of one employee's salary) & two hours of downtime a week it's not such a bad choice.

None of these requires SCSS at all. You may verify by grabbing the SCSS they provide in the codepen and pasting it into http://www.sassmeister.com/

Most examples are equally compact in plain old CSS. In fact, many of them are just plain CSS displayed in a window labeled "SCSS".

The places using SCSS seem like they're simply being more sane in allowing a user to change numbers trivially. Instead of saying "just change all the 400px throughout to 500px", one can change the `$slide-width` definition in one place (usually at the top).

There's also the style preference of nesting to group. But neither of those make it a strict dependency.

---------

EDIT: I'm not saying that I disagree with your assertion that CSS is a bad place to layer logic from a maintainability standpoint; I'm more pointing out that blaming it on SCSS makes no sense in this context.
It does mention requiring that people be offered a shelter bed.

But provides no funding (or even specific requirements that would imply funding; e.g. "shelter for 30 days"). Which basically means, in effect "umm, actually we're not really going to provide shelter. We're just going to keep rousting you and rousting you until you head out over to Oakland, or down the Peninsula".

Just that people like Moritz, Conway, Oberndorf, Bogue and Mayer don't want to come out an say it. Even though it's apparently exactly what they want.
> they make the process so arduous that they would never get the sale

It's all too easy to make such a claim - particularly if you are the one benefiting from piracy.

If the couple chose not to watch the movie, they aren't going to sit and stare at a blank wall for two hours. Maybe they would have watched a movie on regular TV with ads - thereby benefiting the businesses who placed the ads. Maybe they would have watched a movie on Netflix who therefore gave a small percentage of the Netflix subscription fee to the movie studio. And maybe a month later Google fix the technical problems and the couple decide to pay to watch the original movie.

The point is that if the couple hadn't downloaded the movie illegally, somebody somewhere would probably have been financially better off.
In its defense, the Mazda Connect system is pretty nice. It's solely focused on entertainment, navigation, and some secondary car management functions (maintenance intervals, explanation of trouble lights, long-term MPG charts).

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but the touchscreen/command knob is the way things are now. You can't do terrestrial radio, satellite radio, bluetooth, USB music playback, etc with a single knob and 20-character display. All of these features have worked their way into being standard now. Nobody ships an AM/FM radio.

And now that backup cameras are mandatory in the USA as of the 2018 model year, you're going to need that LCD display anyway. So it's easier to throw all the HMI/IVI on that board and be done with it.

The Mazda Connect is run off an NXP iMX6 SoC, which is very powerful yet affordable enough to put in Mazda's base models for no upgrade charge. It's also highly hackable. =)

Oh, and HVAC is still done with physical knobs in a convenient location.

Siri seems so dumb because she is dumb, incredibly annoyingly dumb.
Not compared to humans, but compared to what Apple could have achieved, what others achieved some time ago.

That's an awesome post, by the way, so thanks for sharing - definitely going to crib some ideas from it.
"The apocrypha" has no universally accepted bounds. The works for which your description is approximately correct are those that the Catholic Church deemed deuterocanonical, not those it considered apocryphal if useful in the sense you discuss (e.g., the Clementine apocrypha); both sets of those are within the ambit of what those following Luther's position consider "apocrypha".

As to the relation to the Jewish canon of the intertestamental period, there is some ambiguity as to where some "apocrypha" works lie (in which the Dead Sea Scrolls themselves play a role.) The position you've put forward is common and goes back to at least Jerome, and holds that the works which were accepted as the Jewish canon, in the Hebrew form they were found in, at much later dates than the intertestamental period, accurately reflect the canon of the earlier period. Which isn't an implausible assumption, and for a long time there wasn't a concrete reason to suspect any particular variance though there was very little reason to assume no variance, either.
... without any sense of responsibility ... ones who take advantage ... people who don't learn to get along ...

Learning physics requires more than simply reading text books. A significant portion of actually understanding the concepts laid out in the book is performing demonstrations and experiments in the lab. In college, we had a 3 hour lab each week to go with 3 1-hour classes and each was critical to learning. I certainly admire anyone who wants to learn physics on their own, especially without already having a strong mathematical education, but to really grasp the meaning of the words in a book requires practical exposure in a lab.
Apple takes backwards-compatibility very seriously for MFi protocols, because they know that the "accessories" are cars that people keep for a long time.

A tip for movie lovers: VidAngel has 100 of the IMDB Top 100. (I'm not sure about the top 250.)

VidAngel costs $1 or $2 per movie after sell-back. They filter the movies, but you choose your own filtering, so it's not censorship.

(No, I don't work for VidAngel, nor do I have any ties with them; I'm just a happy customer who wants to see them continue to grow and thrive. I'm aware they are being sued, but I think VidAngel will win due to the Family Home Movie Act of 2005.)
I would be willing to bet that at least someone at Facebook and Twitter knew that this data was being sold to them and knew they were likely to use it for this purpose.

Although this data is all "public", it is still not convenient or in-line with their terms of service to access it en-masse, and in real time, for these types of purposes without an explicit agreement with them.

Personally, I would think that Facebook and Twitter only cancelled the contract with Geofeedia because the ACLU called them out so publicly.

In the US, you are free to collect any data you can observe (assuming you don't interfere with others' rights). You are also free to trade what you collect with others.

I think you should read the article again. What it argues is that the licence essentially means that you can't initiate a lawsuit against FB for infringing one of your patents (which may have nothing to do with Reaft) without losing your React licence.

Now whether that bothers you or not depends on your individual circumstances and the sanity of your particular legal jurisdiction, but it certainly would be something of interest to any corporate legal team.
