They're not forcing it on anybody any time soon. Until Unity 8 has parity with Unity 7, it's not even going to be considered as the default. Funny thing is, their efforts to avoid the issues with and backlash against the original Unity are the reason Unity 8 has been delayed for so long.

Yeah he's not writing protest songs anymore (unless you ask him [1]), but since he went electric, he's been doing what he wants, not what's expected of him. I saw him on tour this year, and it was a strange experience. The performance, song choice, and delivery felt more like he was just doing his music thing and I was paying to watch -- he wasn't trying to entertain me.

This is technically correct (though in most gc's, if you allocate and keep a single byte, you pay for it with various barriers, etc, forever) but then, because they have good GC's that are like this, almost every GC language used allocates all the time.

So it would be more accurate to say "Most GC's will not cost you a single cycle if you and the underlying language runtime and execution environment do not allocate".

IE your statement, while true in theory, makes literally no practical difference if allocations happen all the time without you knowing or controlling it.

> Realistically, what evidence do you have that Trump has any more likelihood of using a nuclear bomb against the wishes of congress than Hillary? Has he shown an inclination towards mass murder in other scenarios?

Trump reportedly asked three times why we could not use nuclear weapons in a private briefing.

More importantly, he threatens to change the landscape of our deployed military so drastically that the moves would create opportunities for non-allies to take more aggressive positions against our allies.

If we failed to protect our allies, the US economy would tank, due to all the outstanding treasuries.

> Did he vote for the Iraq war?

Obviously Trump could not have voted on the Iraq war. That's an invalid question.
Been using Ubuntu LTS (NEVER the October releases) in production for years. As smooth as Debian for upgrading.

If you're breaking your system every six months, that's probably because you're using the October releases instead of sticking to the April ones (which are usually the LTS ones and have fewer experimental packages).

My rule of thumb is to only set up October releases for playing around and getting a feel for what's coming down the pipe, and NEVER use them for production. Only the .04 ones.
If one wants general AI that can deal with/understand the world, the system needs to learn based on (raw, unadulterated) data from the world. These data are highly dynamic and rarely fit neatly into human-labeled categories. This is part of why the currently-hyped supervised pattern recognition is not all that helpful for general AI.

By the way, the above requirement of real world data probably even applies to building chatbots. (A successful chatbot will need some understanding of the world it is talking about; this is what researchers mean when they say "grounding" is important for NLP).

Stephen Sondheim wrote that you can't fit as much complexity into sung lyrics as into read poetry. I wish I had the book in front of me to provide more details, but he reveals a lot about his craft here:

Hat Box

(For those not familiar with the genre, many think Sondheim is the great composer of musicals of all time; you might have seen some of his on film, Sweeney Todd and Into the Woods, recently. His lyrics (and stories) are not of the fun, clever, vapid variety often associated with musicals, but brilliant, creative, and multi-dimensional. - For those interested, Company and Sweeney Todd are probably good places to start.)

It's interesting that Mr Romero didn't decide to want to build this city on the Guatemala-Mexico border to grant Guatemalans access to the benefits of the Mexican economy.

For reals though, Mexico needs better government. Dirt poor countries with a quarter the resources are beating them badly, Korea, Malaysia, Chile. They have squandered opportunity after opportunity, Venezuela is catching up though.

Activists would do quite a lot more good by demanding better from their own government. I mean better management and governance.

Tech Billionaires Want to Destroy the Universe
The numbers don't claim to specify a rate - that was your inference.

Also, your numbers seem to demonstrate the exact dishonesty that you accuse Breitbart of doing.

The number cited for illegal aliens is the number of arrests.

The number you cite for the general population is a victimization survey which includes a lot of alleged rapes that were never reported to the police. (In fact, I can't even figure out if all of them meet the legal definition for rape.)

According to your report [1], 12% of rapes were reported to the police. If every single rape report results in an arrest (hint: they don't), that eliminates your 10x factor right there.

When reading Breitbart, you seem to draw incorrect inferences from cited statistics. And when digging up your own data, you also seem to draw incorrect inferences. Consider the possibility that the problem here isn't Breitbart.

(Note: I hate Trump. I favor open borders and think we should let Mexicans in even if they are more rapey than Americans. In fact I have nothing but positive feelings towards Mexicans - their food is tasty and their women are beautiful. I'm just pointing out bad reasoning.)

I mean I realize the link—assuming you're calling american blues "folk", that is—but it's just that, a link, not an identity. Clapton certainly sounds unique. I'm more interested in the fact that he thinks rock & roll is actually a discrete genre rather than a band format.

I'm also not a huge fan of Clapton sans Cream OR the Stones, so maybe I just don't like american flavored rock & roll. It didn't really click for me until Iggy Pop showed up. It didn't feel right to be caught halfway between him and Woody Guthrie—both ends make sense, but the middle sounds terrible to me.

I agree with not needing Unity. I'm on Gnome flashback and 16.04 finally let me get about the same DE I had with 10.04. It's Gnome 3 but it looks like the Gnome 2 desktop, with only one panel to the bottom and the compiz cube. I use the 3D rotation effect to remember which side I came from. A 2D slide doesn't hint me enough and I get lost in the virtual desktops. I don't use the cube for anything else. All considered, I'm happy with 16.04 and I'm staying here at least until 18.04.

After reading articles like this one during this election cycle, I had to take a step back and realize that I was also guilty of looking down on the people he described as the Trump supporter and that I had my own prejudices.

Well, in your (and, self-servingly, my) defense, prior to last week or so I may have been a lot more gracious. But after hearing Trump essentially admit to sexual assault, and then listening to his supporters contort themselves to excuse it, it's pretty tough for me to sympathize.

At this point I wonder if Trump wasn't right, and that he couldn't just start shooting people in the street and still retain his support.

Unfortunately, group identity is a remarkably powerful thing. When I look at someone like Berlusconi or Duterte or Trump (and I could continue to list folks... you can probably guess where it ends), it makes me realize what people are willing to excuse or tolerate if it means continuing to cheer for their team or demean folks who aren't on theirs. It's pure, unadulterated factionalism.

Not necessarily. The amount of bits needed to fingerprint somebody is substantially lowered doing this, and although you stand out by taking extra steps like this, it's substantially better than a large portion of the configurations you do see.

Of course if your threat model is such that nation states are targeting you, either passively, or actively, then TOR is fitting in most cases, but TOR can prove to be overkill in most cases.

For example, if I'm surfing a website which blocks TOR, I can use a JonDoFox[1] profile to visit a website with a VPN, and achieve better-than-most anonymity for my needs, albeit not as rigorous as what TOR provides, but at least my connection has rudimentary protection from passive eavesdropping.

Keep in mind, VPNs are a countermeasure only and do not provide perfect privacy, but you can lessen the information gathered using the techniques I outlined. Surf under generic domains, and block traffic downloaded en clair

Would you leverage similar criticism towards any other reports concerning sexual assault? Such as how numbers concerning sexual assault on college campuses are told lacking the context of how they were derived and also report magnitudes more crime than official FBI statistics.

It seems both sides abuse these numbers to lead readers to draw certain conclusions. Yet criticism of the practice often is not evenly applied.

> Or is that just a small price to pay to get your religious beliefs installed in the highest court in the land?

I don't know why you were downvoted, but I would like to point out that many laws are based on religion, like marrying only one person, or not stealing and killing. We take these for granted because we grew up with them.

So, I'm not sure the argument that they are "installing religious beliefs" does much to convince religious people that they are overreaching. Their feeling is that they are saving people, and they feel this can be done through politics as well as it can be done in person.

I'm not sure I agree with those who vote this way. I just wanted to throw it out there since I doubt you'll get a reply from a religious person.
