You've only had 4 assassinations in the USA. It's easy to name 5 internationally. I think leaders could accomplish real change in the USA, but extreme changes would very likely result in assassination. I am certain that if anyone tried to dismantle the military industrial complex in the USA that they would be killed for it. Someone in the military would feel it to be their patriotic duty, or one of the big defense companies would do it to protect their business. You're very naive if you think otherwise.

Abe Lincoln was killed by Booth apparently for being too North-centric in his policies - Booth believed killed Lincoln would cause a major shift towards the South (which was wrong of course.)

Martin Luther King, Jr. wasn't even an elected official, but was killed for trying to change the system.

Luis Carlos Galán in Columbia was killed by the Medellin Cartel when it looked like he was going to win the election in a landslide - his platform was tough on crime and involved cracking down on the production and trafficking of cocaine.

Olof Palme was assasinated in Sweden for trying to implement socialist reforms.

Benazir Bhutto in Pakistan, the first woman elected to lead a Muslim country killed for threatening the status quo.

I think this chunk of industry is going right now through its enthusiastic adolescence. It's a phase. It will pass. It will eventually mature, and will separate the wheat from the chaff.
Even if the post-ceasefire offensive raw casualty numbers are higher it also matters who is dying and why.

Often the stated purpose of the ceasefire is to allow the civilians to leave, or to allow the weaker party to surrender or relinquish their positions if they choose to do so.

Hololense = 1268 * 720 pixels per eye

Magicleap = supposedly infinite (or they don't exist at all?)

Hololens says they have 2.3 million “light points”. I don't know much about light points other than a few paragraphs, but I wonder how Magicleap actually measures light density and how/if it compares or correlates.
What about GMO leads to more monoculture than ordinary farming, which has been guilty of plenty of monoculture?
It is true that there is no update path at this time. Our focus is on ensuring the software runs best on Azure. Upgrading a container service is a complex affair with different users wanting different experiences. With the open sourcing of ACS Engine (also part of this same announcement) we are providing a channel through which users can work with our team to define optimal upgrade strategies that will eventually be rolled into the service itself.
You know, I find it odd that you say, "extra chemicals" specifically pointing out pesticides. From what I can find, there are some that produce a protein that is toxic to some organisms. But so is chocolate, caffeine, and other things in nature. Some things are toxic to humans, but not other organisms. The upside to this is less sprayed pesticides.

2. This side effect is something we have been dealing with for a very long time. A hybrid - manual GMO sort of plant - runs the same risk.

Furthermore, GMOs aren't exactly banned in the EU. In 2014, 49 were approved. Countries can restrict futher, but not all do. Spain is the biggest producer here. [1]

Having worked with VC's before, there isn't always a clear domain understanding of the problem they are investing in. Additionally, once funding snowballs, later investors can incorrectly assume due diligence has been taken care of by earlier investors.

I would expect that we've seen what MagicLeap is targeting in both Google Glass and later Microsoft HoloLens. So conceptually the systems and optics are proven at some early stage. Instead of projecting into a lens that is then reflected into the eye, they claim they are projecting directly into the eye. Either way the optics should be similar. This means that as with any AR (instead of VR) system, they will not be able to project the absence of light in a brightly lit environment. (Creating shadows/darkness should be impossible)

Supposedly, because it's only rendering a small portion of your field of view at any given time, the compute resource required to power it is substantially less. I seem to also remember reading about it not using a standard pixel-filling kind of rendering, and using something else that requires less power instead.

I think it's the opposite, people are unnecessarily critical of Soylent. The problem is consumers weren't aware they were allergic to algae flour. It has nothing to do with Soylent's hygiene or formulation practices.

Мнение Джона Лейка о роли исцеления для спасения заблудших – Проповедники
That is one interesting way to interpret the famous Aaronson soap bubble experimental results, and Yuri Gurevich's opinion is just a somewhat more optimistic version of it.

Because of some hand wavy string theory calculation completed in 2030, either the universe doesn't exist as it is measured to exist (or whatever McGuffin you'd like as a bullet proof excuse) or there exists a Turing machine that outputs a proof of P=NP then halts and the fastest way to find out if it halts is to run it and we try and it never stops. Maybe a century later someone figures out a lower bound on the number of steps the machine will make before it halts and its larger than the computational power of the lifetime of the universe, even very optimistically. Or a ruleset is proven to exist but the ruleset is at minimum a number larger than the number of particles in the universe so its kinda difficult to construct or emulate. Or the infinitely long Turing tape is merely proven to contain a number of states equal to a trillion times the number of atoms in the universe.

The datasheet is a copyrighted document received under NDA. They literally can't.

And again, a datasheet from Allwinner is going to just tell you what the instantiation parameters for all the various IPs are. To write a driver for, I dunno, the I2C controller (or whatever, I know nothing about this SoC in particular) you're going to need a Synopsys databook or something.

There's a framework in place for distributing all that stuff between OEMs and first-tier customers. But with the exception of a handful of hardware vendors, no one's ever cared about getting it out to the public.

I don't think anyone is saying that you'll never see crates with bad usage of unsafe. What you will hear them say is that by having the ability to share code, since more people are looking at and using the same codebase, it's more likely issues will be found, and that when they're fixed, they help everyone using the package, rather than just those who found it.

Assistant has a little bit more conversational skills going by their Allo implementation, but otherwise the difference is mostly marketing. I assume that Google will eventually phase out (or stop supporting) Google Now voice commands in favor of concentrating on Assistant.
We're glad you think that, we work hard ;-) I hope you also saw that we are open sourcing ACS Engine, the code we use behind the scenes. This means that if we are lacking in any areas (nobody is perfect right) you can help us fix that. See http://gitub.com/Azure/acs-engine

Heme-bound iron is better absorbed by the body than other sources of iron, which is why sometimes vegetarians are anemic despite the high quantity of iron in vegetables.

Much of the the known mechanics of digestion are molecular, but that's mostly due to the fact that we have a lot better scientific tools to deal with things on a molecular level than we do with macro-molecular constructs.
Interesting. Thank you for this.

Voter fraud stealing Trump victory psychic
I noting that more and more meta-analyses are kind of falling out of fashion. They're increasingly being viewed as having dubious scientific merit and should be viewed similarly to "lit reviews". As well as some obvious biases there are other subtle issues, such as incomplete data or poorly matched data-sets. There's a list of short-comings on the wikipedia page which should provide a good primer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meta-analysis#Problems

Basically, we need to be careful about accepting the results of meta-analyses as scientific fact. They are useful for illustrative purposes but really, at the end of the day if you're going to settle an argument you're going to need rigorous methodology, data-collection and reporting, as well as the all important reproducibility, falsifiability and verifiablity.

OP and others may be interested in this approach by Sony CSL from ~2012 using constraint Markov chains for matching lyrical style with explicit rhyme constraints, including (e.g.) Bob Dylan style with constraint of Beatles' Yesterday [0].

This is the precursor to the work that brought on "Daddy's Car"[1], though the techniques appear to have changed a bit reading their recent publications. I find their paper on recent approaches for music synthesis with style matching or other constraints [2] quite readable, and really good! I am hoping to build out a version of what is described by the paper. There is also a very nice talk by F. Pachet on this subject here [3], and his older videos are good too (they should be in the recommendations of YouTube).

Still reading about DeepRhyme, but it seems great. Also a fantastic writeup!

But what makes the alternative methods like mutagenesis safer? People always speak of GMO as if the alternative is purely natural and created alone by nature.

They also act as if nature is static. More genes are changed in plants by the environment they live in than through GMO methods.

This idea that getting genes from frogs and putting them in wheat is somehow dangerous deceives people by playing on their ignorance of how closely related living things are.

I share 50% of my genes with a banana. An anti-GMO person might spin this has me being filled with unnatural banana genes which should never have been in a human.
Magic Leap was always in Florida? They are known for that. Even Devine, their chief games guy, talks about not wanting to move to Florida years ago when it was a tiny company.
Right, true.
Haven't you ever seen a commercial for meal replacement shakes before? They've been a staple in the diet industry as long as I've been alive. Liquid diets are also a "thing" in medical settings for patients who are unable to take solid foods. Remember "Carnation Instant Breakfast"? That's been around since the 60s. Its really not an original idea.
Honestly it would take that level of visual fidelity and environmental awareness for the leap to live up to the hype and expectations.

The existence of general infighting and there being a collapse does not mean that infighting (much less, infighting over resources) precipitated the collapse. I think if you examine the history of the collapse, it has almost nothing to do with political infighting.

Again someone blaming the victim. I'm kind of sick of this.

While true, your comment doesn't get at the root of the problem. The obvious fact here is that there is a mismatch between the C standard and how the users really use it. The less obvious fact/opinion/fallacy, is that it is not automatically the user's fault.

The standard could be wrong.

Sure, there are reasons why such and such behaviour ended up undefined. Those reason are sometimes weak however: some behaviour ended up undefined on all platforms because some of them couldn't handle it reasonably. The alignment bug here is such an example.

To this day I don't understand why undefined behaviour wasn't specified on a platform-by-platform basis. We already have implementation defined behaviour, after all. I guess this is because it lets compiler writers unify their front-ends and optimizers, but as a result, we cannot use our platforms to their fullest potential.
And even that is targeted at servers I think.

Blender is not actually that bad.

No, Blender is not bad, it's terrible.

You need a tutorial video to understand how to close a pane, and even then it's hard. That has got nothing to do with 3D modeling being hard. It could've been a word processor and it would still be terrible.

And yes, window panes are very much a standardized UI part which has a completely non-standard interaction design in Blender. For no reason.

Edit: Before you downvote this, download Blender and try to close a pane. Just try it!
RE: "Not sure why they stick so closely with AWS on terminology though"

Makes sense from a user familiarity perspective -- AWS is what most cloud users are familiar with, and describing things in terms that are most likely to be understood is generally good practice.

I'd agree that it would make sense though if their site clarified who owns and runs the datacenter their running their service out of, if only for answering the question if they're hosting on top of AWS or not.
The fact that we knew, in a scholastic sense, about the concept of the food chain, but could not foresee the extent of downstream effects is even more reason to be far more careful than seems necessary now. Our best guess is probably not good enough.
You can't advocate for radical liberties without having a serious discussion about the externalities created thereby, and who's going to pay for them. Handwaving human trafficking as something inconsequential "that rarely happens" is the beginning to a position centered on "muh freedoms," than on personal responsibility.
Eminem has similar trickery going on in most songs and that's probably one of the reasons of his success. Of course many other rappers do the same, and surely Eminem isn't the inventor of funky rhyme patterns.

It does, but "available" also implies two terms. By itself, we don't know if it's every available car, or every car available within the app.
I wish you well with this, but I don't see why I would want to use it. I don't see any mention of email priority settings or incoming filters, which are key to my email workflow. (I have hundreds of filters that automatically prioritize my email for me before I even begin to read them each day.)

I'm fairly attached to a native-app based workflow (I'm a big fan of Postbox, and before that I used Eudora), so I'm probably not the target market for this anyway.

The search looks promising though, and while the design does look 2005-ish, I don't mind the design of the promo website. Something about the font feels slightly off (somehow Windows-like with the way it antialiases, fonts are a bit too small in places) but it isn't terrible. The animated screenshots are really helpful.

(One tip: be open to charging a lot for it. Email is mission critical and one of the apps I spend the most time in, I am happy to spend money on having the best experience possible. Postbox charges $40 and I still feel that's a bargain.)
As a beginner who never used Perl5, I found my first bug (missing method https://rt.perl.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=128903) within 24 hours. It does seem like there are some relatively raw things left around.

It won't be inadmissable but there should be continued push-back to establish authenticity. This is not a new problem – e.g. Nikon has sold things like http://imaging.nikon.com/lineup/software/img_auth/ for years – but it's definitely far from complete.

In most cases, this is going to come back to third-party services – think about the history of things like mailing a copy of a document to yourself using registered mail or having it notarized so the timestamp would be admissable in court. I'd be surprised if we haven't already seen someone submit timestamps from something like Facebook in court but we could use a general notary-as-a-service for this kind of app as more and more of the world moves online.

That won't help with a determined fraud from the beginning but that's always been a challenge in the court system and so most of that will come down to continuing to break down the attitude that digital data is somehow immune to the same trust issues as every other human artifact.
FYI, Dwarf Fortress is an ASCII-only roguelike, and the learning curve is as steep as the graphics are primitive. But the emergent gameplay is amazing.

If the inconsistent UI or graphics give you pause, I'd suggest taking a look at Rimworld, currently in Early Access on Steam (or available directly from the developer's site). It has some of the deep qualities of DF but is a bit more forgiving.

> So, it really is becoming increasingly widespread.

I don't know if this is really true. I saw a lot of hoverboards on my university campus last year. I don't see nearly as many this year. I'd like to see sales data for at least another year before declaring that anything is becoming increasingly widespread.
Bear in mind, though... "Anything nature can do" covers plenty of toxic, teratogenic, or carcinogenic results. The plants that evolved to kill us are ones we don't eat.

Blanket fear of "GMO crops" is obviously foolish, because the relevant question is "what genes does it have?" rather than "how did the genes get there?" But that doesn't rule out sensible concern about the higher rate of change on GMOs, and the ability to transfer potentially-dangerous genes wholesale.

The basic safety measure of natural selection and human cultivation is the rate of change. If a cultivar makes some people somewhat sick, it won't catch on or become universal, and it won't be intensified to something lethal. The real danger of GMOs is that they suspend that precaution - they can produce abrupt changes in an entire national crop. So the risks aren't different, but they might not be caught until they've done far more harm.
They've been doing this for how many years? And sinking how much money into content development? How about developing an actual product?
