Other way round: how do the rare few self-motivate themselves to do things on their own, persistently? How many people fully plan their day, rather than just doing adhoc or conventional things? Not many.
The word "rent" covers more than one concept. The version you seem to be at is called "rack rent" - the price of a place to sleep. "Land rents" are a much more esoteric conceptual ... mess. You have to look to David Ricardo and Henry George for that.
A friend of mine was biking along a river in rural UK and stopped to take a piss. While he was relieving himself, he heard a zzzzz sound coming from somewhere. On closer inspection a camera mounted on a decommissioned telephone pole was moving, tracking him.

There is now a Mobile Xeon CPU, which is available in the Lenovo P50/P70 series, with ECC RAM.
Yes and no, Vulkan is a very low level API that leaves quite a bit of how CPU & GPUs are used up to the game engine developer. This can be good or bad, unlike OpenGL or DirectX you can really optimize your engine, but that is labor intensive & there will be games that should have used a higher level API like OpenGL, since they aren't willing to spend the time to take advantage of what OpenGL offers (much quicker to get pixels rendered on screen in a decently per formant way).

Another way of thinking about it is to think of Vulkan like C, and OpenGL and DirectX as Java, since that is an apt comparison in terms of high level vs low level languages, just in our case its a low level API (Vulkan).

I think long term AMD will benefit from more games using Vulkan at least on the GPU side, but it isn't a miracle solution that will make AMD compelling over Intel. Zen may create such a situation, though ultimately it is up to businesses and consumers to pick AMD over their competitors, which could happen due to a combination of factors (including Zen & Vulkan).

That's not quite true. Money has value because a lot of the demand for it is enforced by law (taxes and repayment of debts). Those act as a real anchor for its value beyond collective agreement.
One of the things I intuited from working with Security Camera businesses, was that, in fact, the authorities had a very low awareness of all the cameras and camera footage available to them. You may want to consider whether this will, in the short term, actually aid them in identifying sources.
> But all candidates get demonized, and then you choose between the least of both evils. In practice, it results in a similar outcome. Media could paint all candidates as the greatest hero, and you'd pick the bigger Saint of them all.

> One style is the complement of the other, so I don't think you make a good point.

I am not a psychology student or a professional and I am unaware if studies have been done on the topic. Also, I am speaking in general, not just with respect to the US elections.

I disagree. Demonizing and providing the option to select the lesser evil is much more effective psychologically than saintifying and providing the option to choose the better saint. It is reasonable to expect people to be extra cautions in choosing the lesser evil as it troubles their morality if they wrongly choose the bigger evil. In the latter case however, people could afford to be more complacent, and could even fail to perceive any difference at all. And we can all see that demonizing is never done equally, some parties get targeted more than others, for whatever reasons, So it seems one could steer the result by choosing to demonize. I don't think or know that this is intentionally used as a strategy (by whom?) but if it were its clever.
The use of LEDs makes all the mechanics seem pointless, and it's very shiny, which makes it look out of place. A friend described it as "like some chav's car covered in bling".
Thats not the reason. The reason is that the leaders of Earth have political constraints that does not allow them to do or change much. It has little to do with technical details.

Musk talks about it because he does not have those constraints.

As for radiation shielding, this has been a topic since the 60s. We know more or less what the risks are, we know the fundamental way to deal with the different type of radiation. The question is how to integrate it in your mission architecture.

He does not spend much talking about this because its not the fundamentally hardest problem that is to solve. The Core Problem to solve is the Transportation Problem. From what he has said about it, he proposed fundamentally the same basic ideas that people have been discussing for many years, and those should work.

AI is the biggest hype of the moment.
It reminds me the film "Eagle Eye" (2008) where a kind of of Zeroth-law empowered AI wants to assassinate the president of the US. Despite its incredibly intelligence what I found more unrealistic was its control of all internet-connected systems in the US (traffic, remote control drones, phones, different OS, etc) "just because I am an AI and I can do whatever I want"

For god's shake, it is 2016, we are still unable to have a decent dependency system for most programming languages. AI is still decades far to rise up against us.

Do you feel like the earlier episodes could be applicable to anyone in future society, but the current episodes are too specific to apply to "anybody" - rather, "This is the dystopian future, but only for these personality types."

It absolutely would happen one way or the other, eventually, even with shale oil. Finite amount of oil-bearing rock is finite.

But also, even if there was vastly more oil than thought, that wouldn't matter because if you dig it up and burn it, Earth turns into Venus. Peak "oil we can afford to dig out without fucking ourselves over thoroughly" is already in the past and receding.
True, but when it becomes almost inexpensive, it will pay off even with a low success rate. You would be impressed with how simple some social engineering schemes are.

Most of the complaints about Russian elections are due to them being rather severely rigged. Like, election officials getting caught on camera stuffing ballot boxes, regions with more votes than ballots, that kind of thing. At this point Russia seems to be the standard test used in papers about statistical methods for voter fraud detection. And that's not even getting into what happened to all the independent media and anyone who challenges the political status quo.

No, playing up the fearmongering as you are doing right now is partisan hackery. The main Democratic talking points centered around fearmongering, after all, which was almost as stupid as the Republicans temporarily shutting down the postal service, etc. in a fit of pique.

As I said before: the markets correctly characterized the debt ceiling negotiations as a bunch of drama queens on both sides of the political divide acting up & a storm in a teacup because neither side is politically suicidal.
For people saying this is the new agar.io/slither.io. There are loads of "io games" nowadays competing to be the next big thing. This is just another version of landix.io so it's nothing unique and will probably not be a landslide success. It does look more polished though.

Radiation has been studied since the 60s. Multiple Mars mission had the equipment on board to do the measurements. Nothing to surprising was measured, the same results on Curiosity and Viking.

We know a lot about both type of radiation, cosmic and solar. Why know the basic physics, and we know how to prevent it. Both types of radiation have different properties and have different levels of danger, thus need different solutions.

This had been known for a while and solutions are possible. Thus, its not the most important problem in Humans to Mars architecture, as we know much less about reusable rockets and carbon cryo tanks.

You need to provide the data.

You should also specify the terms of contributions and a license of the data.

People will be more encourage to contribute if they know that their free work is benefiting others, and not just the project owners. Looking at the code, there is an API route, it says that the data is not confidential, but that it's only for admin users because you don't want people hitting the service too much. In this case, I would suggest providing daily or weekly dumps of the data. (You could also benefit from seeing the growth over time).

So, provide the data, make the data open. Think about the license of the data. What's different from Google doing this? Why would anyone want to contribute to this project, and not say a project from Microsoft? Is having open source a differentiator? What benefit to the contributor does having the code as open source provide, if they cannot get the data. Differentiate your project and encourage actual crowdsourced contributions by specifying that it is open DATA and specify your terms for contributing.

Simply not true. In two party system radical ideas are taking over the parties and changing their agenda. It's not like OWS has no influence in the Democrat Party. Or Tea Party in thevRepublucan Party. Both are mainstreamed by the parties, but that's a good thing. By civilizing radical elements you can actually still enjoy democracy vs having it destroyed by radicals like nazis or communists. Never thought why US never voted communists or nazis into power? Two party system. That's why it is superior. It civilized and mainstreams radical elements.

I grant you that linting catches bugs, but what I've argued for (perhaps badly) is that the bugs it catches are very shallow, but more importantly they make up a relatively small subset of the bugs proper unit tests catch. That's what makes the comparison you made deceptive.

I use both linting (pylint actually) and unit tests, so I am not advocating that you should scrap your linting tools. I am just trying to point out the difference.

Your B) argument is yet another indication that the tests are not good enough. The example bug OP posted is what made me comment in the first place. If your tests don't catch that your tests are useless.

Sure, except then it would intercept the copy, not the paste. And it basically trades clipboard vulnerabilities for keylogging vulnerabilities.

A more realistic exploit is a Flash banner on another tab intercepting the password in the clipboard. This is why offline password managers automatically expire the clipboard though.

The danger of discouraging complex or long passwords is far greater than either of these two attacks, both of which rely on the user's system already being compromised.

Seems very unlikely. Why would a rural river be monitored, especially with a motorized camera?

An urban river (or canal) is much more likely. I don't know if the statistics back up the perception, but these places are often considered unsafe at night -- poor lighting, not many people around, usually only two directions to run.
I fully agree.

And you should contribute the data back to the probably single most important open data project -- OpenStreetMap.
I agree. I also believe there are other good reasons for this rule. Imagine : 15 minute whiteboard workshop - "capturing value from meetings". We draw a horizontal line on the board, a relative value scale, lower to the left, higher to the right. Then we shout out a bunch of stuff people do in meetings, write them post it notes and try and arrange them on the scale. Once the stream starts drying up, draw a vertical line in the middle of the scale. It will now be reasonably obvious that what's clustered on the left can be loosely categorised as 'shit you could have emailed me' and what's clustered at the right as 'spontaneous interaction of informed participants'. Likely you can now demonstrate that stuff at the left - despite perhaps having intrinsically high value - is likely subtracting value in the context of a meeting. If you have good intuitions or hard data on time and travel, you can probably come up with a cost estimate.

I recommend trying this exercise with real people with the caveats that a) some of them will become angry, and b) probably most of them will ignore the outcomes unless you have some way of incentivising them not to.
I never knew how much I need this. Thank you.
What I don't understand about people like you is how you can still talk this crap.

Musk has done incredible stuff already, he has shown multiple prototypes of what they are building. Sure, maybe they will fail, but I don't understand how you can call everything "empty promises".

He promised a orbital rocket landing, he delivered.

He promised a reusable rocket, this he is very close to as a used rocket was already did multiple full duration test fires.

He promised a new engine, he shows this new engine and its first tests.

He actually delivered a prototype of a carbon-fiber tank that literally nobody in the community was expecting.

Will people like you only be happy if there are 1 Million people living on Mars?

It seems to me that you have never read the actual communication and you are just going of on statements by third parties.
It had its "voted-for government toppled"? Not in any usual sense of the word. The elected members of the Ukranian parliament just kicked out the President and a few of his buddies after they violently repressed protests caused by their actions. That seems a lot like democracy to me. Stepping in and annexing part of a country because your preferred candidate is no longer in power, on the other hand, is a huge affront to it - and the way that Russia sees the "parts of USSR" as their property regardless of what the inhabitants think is terrifying.

yeah I've got that noted in the blog post :) but it was really just an example. One of the things thats struck me about docker/Kubernetes etc is that they tend to be tuned for a general use case in terms of security and configuration. Choices that might improve security and restrict usefulness of services are not usually defaults.

As such there needs to be a level of hardening done from an out of the box perspective where they're being used in a high-security environment (e.g. banking).

For Docker we have resources like docker_bench and the CIS guide which provide a list of possible hardening steps, but I've not managed to find anything like that for Kubernetes, which is why I'm interested in how Monzo are addressing that issue.

They have showed actual prototypes of multiple different aspects. Usually you start rocket design with a engine, and build the rocket on top. The engine in testing already and they seem to have nailed down the basic specs and all the important parts.

That's more then brainstorming, thats actually prototype testing of specific sub-components.
That wasn't my impression reading the original submission or the comment thread. Lots of things that would adequately be explained by lack of Linux drivers and stupidity on Lenovo's side were attributed to malice and purported as fact.
