> Despite the uproar, the government's opposition failed to scrutinize any significant amendments and abstained from the final vote. Killock said recently that the opposition Labour party spent its time "simply failing to hold the government to account".

He doesn't talk or act like this at all.

This is more hyperbole used to destroy Trump. I don't even agree with a lot of what Trump says, but I'm just tired of fake news stories being presented to us as fact.

I thought that after the election the media would stand down and admit what they did was wrong. Instead, they are continuing with the lies.

This propaganda is what's causing the hysteria we see today where people actually fear for their lives. The media needs to be held accountable.
>The essential difference I see isn't one of individual probability of parenthood, but of aggregate. Not all heterosexual couples rear children, true. But the likelihood of a randomly selected example rearing children is vastly higher than that for a randomly selected homosexual couple. That, I argue, is what makes it worthwhile for the state to support the former and not the latter.

so, according to that principle you declared, the state clearly shouldn't support marriage (no new marriage licenses and no tax benefits to the childless couples with already existing licenses. Shouldn't the state just automatically annul the existing licenses of such couples?) after the age of 50 or 55 - i.e when that likelihood fells below whatever threshold you consider "worthwhile".

There was no pretending? Why do you say that? What they were referencing was based on actual polls. There are plenty of ways those polls can go wrong, or how the winds can shift between polls, and tons of other variables. They do this every single election. Seek Karl Rove's meltdown when Obama won. People seem to be really confused about statistics this election and it's kind of concerning.

No there isn't, or at least I haven't seen any. What I have seen is the weakest of links between individuals who happen to share the same name. In any city there's bound to be individuals who have the exact same name as you, especially when you come from the same background.

The court opinion is linked in the first paragraph of the article. It begins

> [Corrigan] now appeals the grant of summary judgment to the defendants, challenging the district court’s rulings that there was no constitutional violation and that the officers were entitled to qualified immunity.

Also interesting is how close this case was: the appeals court panel was split 2-1. The dissenting judge agrees that there was a constitutional violation, but says this law was not "clearly established" so the officers should have immunity. It goes to show how low the qualified immunity bar is.
How is that supposed to help? Go sell snake oil elsewhere, recommending this stuff actually puts peoples lives at risk.
It's interesting that you use the analogy "can you dig a canal with a tried and true shovel". The attempts at building the Panama Canal [1] were basically just this, and failed. It's a great point though, and on-topic. I think a lot of times large-scale software projects are approached in exactly this way. "Let's just hire a bunch of mid-level developers (shovelers) and get them writing. We can always add more developers." It seems to be the prevailaing attitude with outsourcing as well.

There's several, different kinds you might use. One group are designed for formal specification rather than verification where you're mainly making it easier to understand for people with some tool checking. Another type is designed to help a formal logic prove specific things about your software. Then, there's lighter versions like model checkers that explore abstract models of the system to prove properties about it but operate on constrained problems.

Here's an introduction to Z specification language that illustrates how it uses simple formalism to precisely specify requirements and design going from abstract to concrete:

https://people.csail.mit.edu/dnj/teaching/6898/papers/spivey...

Alloy is a model-checker in a similar vein as Z that's designed for easier use and automation:

https://www.doc.ic.ac.uk/project/examples/2007/271j/suprema_...

Although TLA+ is popular now, SPIN was the goto model-checker for analyzing software for concurrency errors:

http://www2.imm.dtu.dk/courses/02152/CP/spin.pdf

Software Foundations teaches you formal verification of the kind that is used in cutting-edge academic projects like CompCert compiler or seL4 kernel:

https://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/sf/current/index.html

Language designers can also include lightweight, formal methods into their type systems like Design by Contract which helps knock out interface/integration errors:

https://www.eiffel.com/values/design-by-contract/introductio...

Finally, since logic programming is so fast these days, one can even translate logical specs into logical programs to straight-up execute the specification:

http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.34....

Note: The Z, Allow, SPIN, and Coq tools referenced above all have websites with FOSS software, tutorials, etc. Just Google them.

Not at all. It's enough to point the finger at commercial VPN providers and claim the the users are doing suspicious things including filesharing, and encourage ISPs to block VPN providers by address block.

Many ISPs would love to do that because they want to inspect cleartext traffic and sell metadata.

Of course corporate VPNs would be left untouched. There.
New [Siri] Hack: How to Bypass iPhone Passcode to Access Photos and Messages
Self driving cars are much more valuable to China than the US. China, for all its development, lacks road and parking infrastructure and places to put them even if it was willing to build them. So cities like Beijing are incredibly congested. Likewise, the driving culture in many Chinese cities (all slightly different) is often very bad, it isn't uncommon to see someone back up on a free way because they missed their exit in Beijing....The US, for the most part, doesn't have these problems (lots of roads, parking, and fairly well behaved drivers)...self driving cars are seen as more of a convenience than a necessity.

Self driving cars potentially solve all that by optimizing limited infrastructure and standardizing driving behavior. It has the potential to make cities that are bursting at the seams (like Beijing) much more livable and viable. Couple that with an authoritarian government that can dictate rules much more easily, I predict that self driving cars will be a thing in China much faster than in the west (even if much of the tech still comes from the west).

Hi, I'm the author. I'm still new to Go, so I haven't gone so far to check web applications let's say.

I think a CLI would be the closest thing for me right now to start with. And I really wanted a way to block websites and add reminder quickly. Since I work as a programmer I always have a terminal open so it made sense for me. In the end, it was just a simple way to start learning Go.
.net core 1.1 is the runtime (coreclr + bcl)

the .net core sdk (tooling, the cli command line) is 1.0.0-preview2 and use `project.json`

your xbuild is from mono installed on your system, not .net core

if you download and use the .net core sdk `1.0.0-preview3` you will see the msbuild based csproj
in preview3 (run `dotnet new`).
msbuild based mean `dotnet build` is calling the msbuild library with `/t:Build` argument.

To explicity run msbuild, you can do `dotnet msbuild`

I think a thought experiment illuminates the difference. Two different but identical companies with unlimited vacation gets too people to do the same project.

Workaholic Walter shows up to work 7 days a week, works 10 hours days for 3 months busting his butt to write a piece of software that ultimately fails because he spends so much time working he misses the big picture.

Smart Steve does some research decides the project already exists in open source downloads it, sets it up in a week. Then decides to take a 10 weeks vacation because he just saved the company so much money.

In these two situations Steve objectively did far better, but I bet your sweet butt that he gets fired, and Walter gets promoted. The problem is no one ever really knows how much value you added, or how much work you did.

I've been on projects that were incredibly successful from a technical perspective. Objectively the product performed exactly like the stake holders wanted, the performance was great, it could run for months at the time, even while actively being configured by people completely unfamiliar with the software and not crash.
It was still a failure because no one wanted to buy it. We spent a year kicking butt and still added 0 value to the business. But I will still paid. And I wouldn't have been paid any more if the project had instead resulted in an extra $12 million in revenue.

You pay a hair stylist to cut your hair, not for the business deal you may or may not get because of it. Why someone pays you is different from what you are paid to do.

Yes and no. While the grandparent post was clearly confusing traction and torque quite a bit, the answer is still mostly about traction.

At the supercar level, you can basically assume infinite power when looking at acceleration in the lower speed ranges. The limit is traction, not torque. A sufficiently strong EEV can continuously max out traction. An ICE supercar does the same, but with a few tiny gaps for shifting that add to the total time. The ICE supercars do not need a stronger engine to come closer to the Tesla, they need faster transmissions to minimize shifting gaps. I think that this is also the prime reason why manual transmissions are disappearing/have disappeared from supercar territory, dual clutch automatics provide shorter gaps.
So if you don't go into off topic material, it is a hit piece?

Focus on the topic is also the defining characteristic of a good article.

Why Hackathons are so Important
It depends on the technology.

Double clutch automatic transmissions are manual transmissions with a robot that changes gears. The double clutch allows for the car to switch gears using clutches, so there is no jerky behavior. They give you as much control as a manual transmission, but only when you want to. Best of both worlds.

Some paddle shifters are automatic transmissions and the paddles actuate the torque converter. The worst of both worlds.

Shifting in traffic becomes second nature, it's not some difficult thing that you have to think about.

> Even the CVT in cars like the Prius has an engine braking mode

Well, of course a hybrid has engine braking - that's kind of pivotal to the whole hybrid design. It freaked my wife out the first time we went down a 7% grade in ours in 'B(raking)' - once the battery charged holding down the brake pedal caused the second MG to disengage from the transaxle and spin at max RPM's to bleed off the excess energy.

But yes, every automatic car I've ever been in has had engine braking as well - going down the same grade by mother will shift her Chevy Impala into '3' and can easily coast down the same hill only applying the brake to turn corners.

Would be nice if our Prius didn't require holding down the brake pedal, but in a way I think it plays into the natural instincts of a driver to do so - but it's a habit that can get you killed driving a manual or standard automatic transmission by overheating the brakes, so hopefully my wife doesn't go down any grades in a car other than our own without me.
Thanks. Updated the link.
