Okay you can just stop that shit right now. No one said it's unfeasible everywhere just because it's unfeasible in the US. If you're sick of hearing about the US, I'm sick of every time someone says something about the US, someone else has to chime in and say "yeah but you're wrong because there are other countries". What you're arguing right now is that cars shouldn't exist in the US because public transport works somewhere else. Can you find the hypocrisy there?

Notice how I even said "it works in places like Japan"? Notice that? See it? Good. Now quit acting like like you're being oppressed every time someone mentions the US. Yes, the world is a big place, but guess what? The US exists and a lot of people live there. Deal with it.

Rust guarantees safety under certain conditions. That's it. It doesn't guarantee good design, bug free code, or code that never behaves badly. This is the kind of gratuitous maligning of code written in other languages that some Rust fans engage in that I find off-putting. Rust isn't The Solution To All Our Problems.

It's sort of pathetic how bad the US has become at public infrastructure projects over the past 40-50 years. Take a clue from cities with 1000+ years of history: you still have to keep upgrading your infrastructure, even if it means bringing in the archaeologists to sort out what you find every time.
Skyrim was released almost 5 years ago, yet an updated version of it is used to advertise the capabilities of a next-generation console. It's really disappointing to see the amount of recycling in entertainment in the past 10 years. More disappointing that people eat it up.

Also, the entire selling point is being mobile crossover. That seems like a great secondary feature, but alone... that's it? Where is the imagination that brought us the Wii?

I can only hope Nintendo attracts enough development to make interesting (perhaps Pokemon Go-influenced) unique crossover use cases, beyond just playing the same game the same way on a TV and at the airport.

Thank you for that link.

phys.org - as usual - barely mentions what the signal even is, and contains no information about the structure of those pulses (instead they chose to show one of the least relevant bar graphs I've ever seen twice, probably because it looks "signally").

So this is the actual paper: http://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1538-3873/128/969/...

I'm going to have to read that now, but if these pulses are as stupidly regular as hinted, there is probably nothing to see here.
> You can think of it like the difference between Welsh/English.

I don't think that's quite right: Welsh is a Gaelic language and English is Germanic, so they're from different families, while Sardinian & Italian are much more closely related.
Sorry, but that's the way it is. You do share the 3DS and Wii U accounts, but game titles are tied to the console. Nintendo has no instructions on how to transfer games to a different 3ds system without having both of them physically there and working [0]. I wanted to trade in my 3DS for a discount on a "New 3DS", but wouldn't have both systems to transfer my games. (Though I've read most Gamestop's will let you do the transfer in their store when you do the trade-in, I haven't tried).

It seems a Kotaku author was able to get their games transferred by contacting Nintendo directly. So at least there's that [1]. There's no direct way to download your games onto a new 3ds. And additional source about transferring between systems [2].

Oh, that is probably right. I didn't think about that.
Tesla is not even assured of getting self-driving approved in lots of jurisdictions. It's going to be a long uphill battle to get it accepted. They are aware that even well-intentioned owners and modders could get into all sorts of trouble, and that the blame would fall on Tesla and self-driving cars generally, potentially doing great damage to their prospects. They're already under scrutiny.

If you buy a self-driving Tesla in the future, you do own it. Drive it anywhere you like. But the software is under license and may not be used for certain things. Demanding that they open up their software to interfacing with who-knows-what is to demand that they introduce new security measures and functionalities, dependent on unpredictable third parties with unknown properties.

Also, there's an easy way to avoid not feeling like you own your Tesla: don't buy a Tesla. I mean, as of now you really have to go out of your way to get one - so if they're "fucking over consumers" so bad with this, why would you buy it? This isn't something they're springing on you after a purchase, they're warning you years in advance.
I'm fairly convinced there are astro-turfers from the Big 3 on here for every Tesla article

It's not clear (to me) whether the "through his lawyers" comment is intending to convey the reason the FBI doesn't believe he's cooperating. It could just as likely be setting up the next sentence which says the lawyers declined to comment.

If the "through his lawyers" comment was explaining the FBI's level of belief, it should have been stated more explicitly. I kind of doubt it though -- local law enforcement might be suspicious of someone who lawyers up, for the FBI, it must be pretty much standard (or at least not unusual).
Given that investigations have found about 30 cases of voter fraud per billion votes [1], is there any indication that these ineligible voters on the rolls actual lead to more voter fraud?

Given that the actual article being indirectly clickbaited [2] suggests these ineligible voters are people who "haven’t voted in at least four years or [...] apparently have moved", is there any evidence to suggest that they are "bogus" rather than normal people with out-of-date paperwork?

Well, in my opinion they actually do need to have strong opinions because it's not "just another node framework". They want to target enterprise sooner than later and it doesn't hurt that you have huge megacorp backing the product, of course it also makes their saying much more weightful.

Also, I don't see the problem with the changes, they announced that they are going away from JSON to XML like 3 months ago and it's not like this is news.

Also, I like XML much better for project files because IMO it's much more readable.

> Unless they pass a new federal identification law what they are doing is unlawful.

How so? The Federal government can set ID standards in areas that it has jurisdiction over, and reject IDs that don't meet these standards in its jurisdiction, which is all that's happening here.

Like other federal levers over state behavior (No highway funding if your drinking age is under 21!), this is grating, but it's not illegal. This has been going on in one form or another for decades and has been consistently ruled legal, as long as its not an unfunded mandate on the states.

Absolutely! The Gold Coast region in Australia has some studies about how they used Land Value Tax to fund infrastructure development. Namely the land value increases around new transit stops that were built could be captured by the city rather than going into the pockets of private owners. This idea is called "Value Capture".

San Francisco has a population density of 18,451/sq mi (7,124/km2)[1]. In the Unites States, That is denser than just about any place other than Manhattan. At peak times, busses are crowded and traffic sucks. Personally speaking as an SF resident, having more efficient public transit options would be awesome. I'll let others crunch the numbers of the feasibility of building & paying for it.

>it's crazy to think we check ID's to buy cough syrup, alcohol, every time you use a credit card, see a rated R movie, rent a car, rent an apartment, etc

The difference between those things you listed and the right to vote is that they aren't listed in the constitution -- and it doesn't say anything about an ID card being needed to exercise that right. But it does say that race and a number of other factors should have no bearing.

It's funny that the "constitution party" (as some Republicans call themselves) seem to forget that.

Interesting on the life insurance thing - wonder why they'd want out of the market? Is this a first of more to come?

The secret sauce to making life insurance work is the time value of money. An insurance company takes in relatively small premiums from its customers, then invests that money over decades. The result is a death benefit that is considerably larger in nominal terms than the sum of moneys paid in.

This method has worked for life insurance for decades, even centuries. But central banks have upended it. Now some sovereign debt even has negative interest rates.

Of course, there are alternative investments, such as equities and real estate, still available. But they are riskier and far more volatile than bonds held to maturity.

Low interest rates together with low inflation make it very difficult for life insurance companies. Just another example of collateral damage from ZIRP.

I'd try to get her to buy an annuity or some other way of putting the lump sum out of reach in exchange for a fixed revenue stream -- maybe justify it as a tax thing, or what if she lives ~30 more years due to great new medical science, and then convince her to put a credit hold on her own account (to prevent loans).
Yeah that doesn't sound true at all.
How interesting. Usually your teammates will kill you for flair that doesn't help. And if you do it repeatedly, you won't get called the next time the gang goes out to play.

Here's a story: Growing up in India, we'd play football on this muddy ground next to an open sewer. There's only one field and maybe six or seven teams so we'd play golden goal or ten minutes. You had ten minutes to score to stay, but if your opponent scored you have to join the back of the queue. If you boot the ball too hard, it falls in the sewer and it's on you to go retrieve it among the shit and piss and everyone has to remember not to head it until it's washed off. It's also about 37 to 40 degrees outside and there's no shade, so losing is no fun since you may have to wait half an hour for your next game.

Amusingly, this ends up defaulting to the possession game with short passes. Unfortunately, I wasn't very good at the game, and so I played RB and had to retrieve the ball from the sewer many times before I learned to be a little better with my ground passes. I never did get very good, but at least I stopped having to go get the ball.

Maybe a few tropical diseases will fix your kids right up.

Regardless of any other answers (or how you feel about voter identification), it wouldn't have any bearing on voting verification since the state takes care of that on their own. If a state didn't trust it's own ID to satisfy it's own voter ID laws then there are much bigger issues at play.

There's something overriding state's rights though, and that's interstate commerce. People have to be free to move from state to state unimpeded, and states have to allow for open trade across their borders. With that in mind, the federal government is free to mandate certain things that otherwise would hinder that freedom of movement and trade.

If my state chose not to require an address on a driver's license, other states would not be able to enforce their laws on me while I am in their state, for example. If they don't require birthdates, other states can't enforce their drinking laws. If they don't require height and weight, other states would have a hard time verifying it's me. The list goes on and on. For interstate commerce, it makes sense that the federal government can mandate that states have to have at least some amount of minimal information on their licenses, otherwise the feds should issue a card with that information printed on it.
I wonder if it really matters in year one for a nintendo console given they will probably struggle to push out enough to meet just standard demand anyway.

The entire point of this change was in response to community feedback... Now the ones who were not vocal in the past are coming out.

The problem is, the only very vocal members on github or whatever are the ones who are unhappy. This turns it into a chasing ones tail scenario.
The post seemed pretty civil to me, just straight to the point. Everyone else is trying to solve the problem by banging a hammer into the nail more - maybe THIS way will help you show her it's a scam.

In my opinion, it's worth considering that she is aware(at least on some level) that this is a scam, and she just doesn't care, because she's too traumatized, because she longs for companionship, or whatever else reason. It's impossible to know without having a deep insight into michael_h's life, but it's worth considering.
I remember reading on r/soccer that some real life transfers have happened in football partially motivated by scouting done in FM.
Its a little different now that you're just not replacing static parts. Sure you can replace a complex fuel controller and such in a modern car which means plugging a box into some wires, but what about something that is net enabled, requires some subscription (or active warranty) and is constantly being updated and monitored by Tesla HQ? Where do you get a new central computer for an old Tesla? How to you get it back onto HQ? Will you be allowed to?

Its a bit like building a PC vs having a smartphone, which is mostly run by the OS supplier and carrier. The former is doable but the latter is way too locked down for the DIY crowd. The phone-ifcation of all things is concerning from many perspectives.

I am a big believer in the future of VR (and possibly AR). But even if it succeeds, there's still a big market for a device like the Switch. It's just a completely different category and good to see what looks like an innovative game console focused on games as we know them.
