It took me a while to understand what this is and I am still not sure. IT seems like a CSS/JS component framework like Bootstrap but themed based on Microsoft Office design language? Is there any other relation to Office other than that?
Your second link cleared confusion for me. Blogs and newspapers throw around contradictory statements like only Congress can declare war or that the President doesn't need Congressional approval to send troops, but they never explain the contradiction.

tl;dr: Wikipedia: The Constitution says "Congress shall have power to declare War". However, that passage provides no specific format for legislation declaring war. Many have postulated "Declaration of War" must contain that phrase as or within the title. Others oppose that reasoning. The courts have found that an authorization [by Congress] suffices for a declaration [in at least one case].
Still no cure for VBA though.

Why is it that large companies like Apple and Google are so hard to reach? Remember the story of the Dash iOS app developer that got kicked out of the store. He also practically was unable to reach anyone.

Sure, and I'd love to pay teachers better too! But why does what I'm envisioning even necessitate an increased number of teachers? The teachers should tend toward being generalists, and part of the school's hiring process would be to attain a mixture of teachers whose skills cover the greatest breadth of subjects possible, but otherwise I don't see any major obstacles to implementing this sort of system. It would be simpler than the convoluted mess that exists now.
Fast stepper motor control was solved a long time ago, and takes little computer power. Watch this daisy wheel printer, a technology from the 1970s.[1] The print wheel is driven by a stepper motor, and for each character, it must be spun to the correct position, brought to a precision stop, and held while the hammer hits the selected letter tine.

Daisy wheel printers were the first mass-market device with multiple powered mechanical moving parts coordinated entirely in software. The four actuators (daisy wheel stepper, hammer actuator, carriage stepper, and platen stepper) were connected only by electronics and software. Invented by David S. Lee.

each one of us has an infinite source of creative power mostly dormant. For some like Ramanujan, it's awakened with a greater degree. The book goes into steps to awaken it and I can attest to it that with quality meditation and perseverance, this can be gradually awakened and channelized. A sincere practitioner starts to get experiences (verifying he's onto something) within a month of regular, quality practice.

This can be awakened by meditation, devotion (like in case of Ramanujan) or by selfless work. All of them falls under Yoga, which means "to unite" with your true self, the infinitely powerful, whose nature is self-existence, knowledge and bliss.

ok, thank you for replying and making my case.
> Are you opposed to package managers, publicly posted hashes, GPG, and even TLS works with the same method.

A lot of people are opposed to centralized package managers - not the (desktop) Linux ones, since Linux distros aren't monopolish enough to have political power, but their proprietary equivalents, the Windows Store and Mac App Store (also mobile app stores but that's a bit different). Nothing stops you from installing software from outside the store on Macs (in fact the store's pretty dead), but there's no end of complaints about walled gardens and speculation about an iOS-style lockdown being implemented in the future. Ditto on Windows, but Gabe Newell famously called Windows 8 a catastrophe (and was widely cheered for it) and started a big Linux push, just because Microsoft created a store to compete with his own company's centralized store.
You just characterized this guy who hasn't said a single violent thing as some knife-stabber, you're part of the obstacle preventing us all from working together.
I keep finding photogrammetry papers discussing how to get the sizes of objects from photos. But those look like photographs and yet somehow seem unreal. Do you know any good intro to the subject? Something that would show a regular photo and the photogrammetric side by side?
The flaw with UEFI is that the list of installed operating systems is stored in the motherboard's NVRAM and not in the EFI system partion on the disk itself.

When your motherboard dies and you need to put in a new one, now you have to boot off a CD/DVD/USB Stick to get to the boot manager utility. Then you have to figure out the command line parameters since the first time the OS installer did it for you.

At minimum the motherboard setup menu should give you FULL editing cabability of the NVRAM variables. I should be able to add, modify and delete any and all entries without having to boot something first.

Last motherboard I tried using the efibootmgr on got bricked. And there was no way to clear it like you can with normal BIOS NVRAM.
Another interesting use case for Solr is to use it as a prebuilt backend with a REST API for a data based web service/dashboard. We have had quite a bit of luck doing this and getting our service up and running was quite a bit faster than trying to build out our own APIs.
That's very cool. I've been thinking about "detailed" prerequisite structures (e.g. [1]) for a long time, but I never thought about connecting with occupations/jobs/competencies. In addition to replacing resumes, it could also replace exams (e.g. mastery-based grades).

Maybe this is a better way to look at it.

Candidate: "We're going to build a wall between us and Mexico. It'll cost us $7 billion."

Electorate: "Umm. That's a lot of money. Let's do something else with it."

If that's how people would react, they should react the same way even if we're getting the money from Mexico. Money is fungible, and as much as our hearts enjoy poetic justice, it shouldn't matter where it's coming from.

There are a couple of situations where we would still want it built, even if its cost exceeded what we were willing to pay ourselves. One is if this is a cooperative, non-zero-sum situation: if Mexico were getting some value from the wall, they might be willing to pay some of the cost, beyond what we can extract via tariffs and seized remittances. The other is if Mexico is terrible at negotiations, which is likely what Trump is assuming.

Offending a quarter to a third of your customers doesn't sound much better, frankly.

Yes if an user program like flash results in pwning the device, security model is broken. Ideally when a user level program is compromised it should not be able to impact OS in any condition if security architecture was adhered to as it was envisioned. But every single OS out there have chosen the easyway out.

On hardware level CPU rings exist to protect kernel from rogue programs and each other but in reality all that protection is either completely or partially circumvented.

Do you really think that someone who voted for Trump, and now fears for their employment in the context of a hard-left industry and hometown full of people freaking out and making wild threats, is going to carefully parse the letter in this fashion and decide they have nothing to worry about?

Imagine you got this letter from your boss. Would you then happily stroll up to him at the water cooler and tell him how proud you were to vote for Donald Trump on Tuesday?
Sarcasm aside, this knowledge is not the issue. The decision is the cost benefit analysis of actually manually altering the cookie (presumably setting it back to ten) versus going and doing something else with my life.

I agree there are valid criticisms to make of Hillary. My main concern is that she is so entrenched within the elite power structure, so captured, that her ability to steer US policy in better direction would be limited. If she could even perceive what that might be.

The bottom line is that money talks in the US. She needs money to run a campaign, and she wants to make money for herself, like most people.

She's friends with the elite, the Wall St. elite. Well, that's because she lives in the "real world", and the elite in US, both in position and income, hold disproportionate power.

These people are not all bad. They are citizens too. We all rely upon the complex, and fragile, economic system we live in. I don't have an issue with Hillary taking big bucks for speeches.

I listen to what she says, and what she has done. Some of it I agreed with, some of it I don't. That's life.

Hillary is not any more corrupt than her peers. Probably less, as I think she still has some integrity.

Obviously a large portion of the population hate her, so she lost. That doesn't mean she's corrupt. The right wing propaganda machine attacked her constantly. Considering how much she has been investigated, she's absurdly clean.
huh, your laying the blame for Trump on "people like" me? Generalize much?
If Nintendo could price discriminate perfectly, they most certainly would, but there are negative externalities (i.e. bad PR).

I've wondered why retailers don't do the following: set MSRP to $X, but charge $X + $Y, but donate $Y to charity, and advertise the fact. This is basically a variation of bundling, except people aren't too happy about that, either. It's easy to be emotional about greedy scalpers or greedy retailers (that forces me to buy $Y of crap), but most people don't think of greed and, say children dying of cancer, in the same train of thought.

Protonmail is another crappy provider filling the void left by Lavabit.

It doesn't have any additional security benefits beyond regular webmail providers that provide TLS:

- Encryption is performed inside the browser. By delivering a modified JavaScript payload, it can steal encryption keys.

- No support for POP, IMAP, or SMTP. If you want to use GPG, you can't.

To see it being compared to Fastmail and Gmail, which don't engage in parlor tricks, is a travesty.
I still think Wind Waker is one of the most visually appealing games Nintendo has ever released.

I say 'one of' but I can't actually think of anything better at the moment.
I'm surprised the customers would openly discuss it, even to their provider. The less people that know about it and do it the better I would think.
Oh yes I absolutely agree. The reason one of my apps is available on the sandstorm store is because @paulproteus pushed me so hard to push it to their platform. Got a ton of help, and they even made an icon for the application.

Natural language understanding. This will open Pandora's can, sort of, because really intelligent surveillance and ad targeting becomes possible. Combine a neural network and a lexicon and map an uttering to a graph with probabilities where the graph nodes are entries in the lexicon.

Note that this is partly independent from speech recognition. Perhaps speech could be translated to a string of word alternatives with probabilities, and language understanding gives a hint which alternatives make more sense.

In other words, language understanding could help speech recognition.

Penderyn Whisky on Quantico TV Show
If you know anything about regular expressions, perhaps considering yourself a fairly decent expert... you might even know how to write basic recursive regexes. Then you are like me and think you know how to begin ripping apart any regex.

Then you see "<^<()(?R){2}>\z|\1\Q^<()(?R){2}>\z|\1\Q>", and you can't even begin to parse it. For one, I didn't know you could add a quantifier to a recursive pattern. Then there is a backreference to what appears to be an empty capture, which is part of an alternation for fuck's sake, which also happens to include the \Q notation.

I imagine I am in the top 20-30% of regular expression users. And I straight up do not understand a single aspect of how this expression manages to match anything, let alone its intended purpose.

It doesn't matter how this regex was found. Whether it was obtained through an entirely manual process or assisted by some kind of AI, it's beyond incredible. 99.9999xxx% of senior software developers who have been programming for 30+ years could not come up with this if they were given 10 years to try and discover it out without 3rd party assistance.

>> These are smart people of course, but it's easy to get overly impressed

How bloody arrogant, and frankly a bullshit statement from someone who has no idea what they are talking about. This is amazing. Someone would have to sit down with me for at least a week - probably 3+ months - to even begin to explain to me exactly how this works.

Why did I take this comment so personally? I don't know, it sounds like the parent has never even seen a regular expression, and yet is trying to promote their own sense of worth as if they're a genius when in fact they have an IQ of 40. That somehow the people who managed to figure this out are only lucky to have done so, rather than there being any significant time or skill involved. I bet you there are less than a thousand human beings on Earth who could have solved this. It's likely that the people who fucking designed and wrote PCRE could not have even solved this.

Basically, stfu. Why do you have to comment only to diminish someone else's success story? You couldn't have solved this, so don't even try to minimize the achievements of others.

Yes, you misunderstood me. Imagine there are many election authorities, maybe perhaps every candidate has their own election authority. Each election authority creates their own public/private key and the public key of the election is created by joining the public key of all authorities.

Using a mixnet (note: Tor uses mixnets too), you can anonymize and decrypt the ballots while preserving the secrecy of the ballot. Not even the servers know at any point that you voted to Hillary/Trump, but the tally is done. And the whole process is end-to-end verifiable by any external party.

It's the magic of math.
I wouldn't say blame in the sense that it implies fault wherein consumers had reasonable expectations to not exist. The 15c was clearly limited production targeting a very niche market (professional scientists and engineers of a certain era). The dubiousness of its release was in the sheer number of them being immediately relisted at super-inflated prices on zero-day.

History tells us that HP made a very clear investment bringing the original 15c to market; it's their IP and their prerogative. I simply can't find reason to fault HP for their business decision, which was likely driven by overall product relevance than cannibalizing sales; 33s and 35s were the only other RPN scientific alternatives at the time, and they're both quite distinct from the 15c. In today's age of touchscreen smart phone proliferation, affordable licensed emulators[1][2] which scale to screen fill that void elegantly...unless you're a modern 20-something-ish Luddite like myself and still don't own a smartphone.
