And, on the flip side; people who do RTFM will only ask relatively esoteric questions looking for help on a difficult problem. Good luck getting any answers to that. It happens, but it's pretty rare.

As a liberal; I completely agree with what you say about the media organizations, and I'll add to that, some of the more-respected leftwing media; which used to be reliable, went into a phase of spewing absolute garbage. I found it disquieting, because it came about gradually, and I realized it suddenly, after the fact (about 6 weeks ago), that they were really playing fast-and-loose with standards of credibility on some of the stories they were posting.

Then, I basically kind of started to "shut down", because I felt that there was really no source that was trustworthy.

Around the same time, I saw some previously neutral forums, go "hard-Clinton". To the point where there was obvious brigading (downvoting and banning dissenters) going on.

On the other hand: There was copious material available, of direct quotes straight out of Trump's mouth. Live TV footage at rallies. Live TV footage at debates. Where he said some things that were not just; "oh, he's a bit careless and doesn't know what that's implying." He said some things that were very hard to interpret in any way other than how he said them. There's also the actual wording of actual policy positions on his own web site.

I think this is what is meant by the assertion that "false stories from the left are not nearly as big a problem".

It's true that there's still some crazy stuff coming from the left. (A lot of the news organization sites breathlessly speculating about who Trump is appointing, before he's actually made any appointments - and turning them into outrageous scandals).

But a lot of the negative things coming out about Trump are absolute facts that you can't sugarcoat, because he said them while being recorded.

When I was in my teens and had lots of time to think about these things, I came to this conclusion. That I, what I think of as being me, is just a facade that moves things into and out of my subconscious. When I want to think about something, I 'query' the subconscious and wait for a response.

I didn't suggest any of this was racist. I despise the hysterical, wolf-crying, race-baiting PC police, but that doesn't mean that we can't try to make the word a better place by avoiding to pile on the black=evil association in our culture and in the English language, especially when coining new terms. It's not a horrible moral failing not to do so, but it would be nice.

Sort of by definition, you can't fully describe a random process. (A little fiddling actually turns that in to a pretty good definition of what a random process is, but that gets really technical, really quick.)

I doubt you'll find any better usage of randomness in other fields, and in many ways, "random" is used to censor things our theories can't represent, and wrap them in stochastic approximators. This is useful, because we can then use the stochastic models as a bound on the possible outcomes caused by things we can't model (for various reasons). This let's us calculate useful predictions involving things we don't or can't know.

I don't think randomness is a negative definition, just that our primary usage of the concept is boxing up unmodelable things.
Most of the ads are served to non-logged-in visitors who come to specific question pages through a web search.

Agreed. Some factoring in of maintenance costs and production costs, but other than that, it would be very good if nations gave more support. Also, there is a greater chance of devastation based on negligence or sabatoge over other energy production means.
Just an anecdote from my experience — I am really enjoying the new Stack Overflow Developer Story. Mine is at [1] for example. While I do appreciate jobs, I'm a full-time independent contractor and not looking for a traditional job right now (though I have seen quality offers through SO Jobs).

That said, Developer Story / CV has been instrumental for me and has become my canonical resume. I'm a huge fan.

If I could make one feature request... it would be a way to indicate conference attendance. It's something I give extra credibility to, for both employers as sponsors / presenters and employees as attendees / speakers / volunteers, as not everyone is willing to put in the effort to give back. [You can see on my CV that I've tried to incorporate this as an "other" at the bottom, but it feels a little out of place.]

There is no non-tyrannical way to actively govern such a divided country except for some sort of radical federalism, which isn't happening.

NASA seems to be minimally involved.

The group has been working five years in their own time in this small laboratory with shoestring budget. White has a day job in NASA and he and others are working with this project in their free time. To best of my knowledge - and correct me if I'm wrong - NASA only gave them $50,000 and a room in Johnson Space Center 2011. They don't seem to be involved in any other way but "NASA Eagleworks Laboratories" makes it sound like official NASA organization.

Their results are consistently close to the detection threshold of their sensors. They are always flirting with the measurement error.
Regarding more secure versions of Android, what are your (or anyone's) thoughts on the following?

* CopperheadOS

* OmniROM

* PrivatOS, on Silent Circle Blackphones AFAIK

* The version on Blackberry Priv phones

.

I've also come across these, but don't know much about them:

* Cryptogenmod: I'm not sure this project ever went anywhere

* Chamelephon: http://chamelephon.com/

* GuardianROM: Discontinued?

* KeyROM by Mocana: Seems aimed at businesses that need secure Android. https://www.mocana.com/iot-security/keyrom

* Privacy phone by FreedomPOP: https://www.freedompop.com/theprivacyphone

Every new piece of information I learn about the new Macs - whether the Macbook Pro these past weeks or the Mac Pro desktop a few years ago - is all along this trend. It's a trend that lost me as a customer, having owned a mini, the Mac Pro desktop, and two Airs.

This is fact. This is actually occurring. I've seen it, and I've heard first hand accounts.

What is also significant is that I see it being largely ignored in the media, as they frame peaceful counter-Trump protests as "riots" and "thugs destroying property".

This is the opinion I'm seeing coming out by moderates, who are decrying the protests, and ignoring the fascist violence coming from hate groups.
I'm a bit bothered by the entire conversation. 2016 Person has found a way to communicate with 1996 Person. And yet, when asked to predict the future, he does not communicate with 2036 Person. This could imply that 2016 Person is only able to communicate with the past. This should not be a problem, since 2036 Person could get in touch with him. Who wouldn't, if they could, communicate with Albert Einstein or Sir Isaac Newton? It could be argued that, if he were dead, they wouldn't want to communicate with him, because they wouldn't want to give away the fact that he would be dead in 20 years, but he seems smart enough to figure out that is exactly what that would mean, so they would definitely communicate with him.

Since no one communicated with him, we're left with the implication that there is no one able to communicate with him in 2036. Best case scenario there seems to be that his secrets are lost to time (heh heh), but most of the other scenarios seem pretty dark to me...

We've found JIRA to be the best option for our small (5 person) team. We enjoy the ubiquitous integrations, powerful project management tools and reliability. Keyboard shortcut support is fantastic.

If this works, that would be cool. However, these defense contractors are incentivized to make it seem like something is working so that they beat other contractors to follow-on funding. That doesn't necessarily mean that they are close to making it production-ready for a Navy boat.

SQUID is tough technology. It takes liquid nitrogen or liquid helium to get them cold enough to superconduct. A tank of liquid nitrogen is easy enough to take on a boat, though.

The devices are so sensitive that you can rotate a cheap one 90 degrees and easily measure the earth's magnetic field. Advanced ones are used to measure brain wave activity. My concern is that SQUID devices are so sensitive that they cannot be stabilized enough on a boat in the ocean to prevent noise (from Earth, boats, gyroscopes, liquid nitrogen pumps, etc) that would make it able to consistently detect the Debye effect.
Yeah, I think those "fanatics" were right all along. Ignorance is bliss.
lc, or "List Commands used in this directory". It's a bash_history that's directory specific, because the terminal commands I type are usually directory-specific.

Won't happen. If Apple added Swift as a sibling language alongside JavaScript, most people would still use JavaScript because of its wider support. If Apple replaced JavaScript by Swift, that would be suicide for their platform.

What, IMO, will happen is that WebAssembly will replace JavaScript, creating a level playing field for all languages. JavaScript will no longer be the only language you can on both server and client, so we will see all-Python, all-Javascript, all-Java, all-whatever frameworks in the browser (potentially each with its own GUI library, but I think that won't happen). All-Swift could be something that Apple could provide, and chances are they are already working on it.

Gonna disagree on the fume hood. Especially if you're working with older electronics that likely have leaded solder.

This was actually the first ORM I used. It's currently in a super simple newsletter script I wrote for my university and I plan on using it anywhere else I run into databases and Python. Thanks!
I wrote this script three years ago to grab screenshots from my networked Agilent oscilloscope at work. Ten lines of Python, but I use it every day. It saves me a ton of time moving screencaps from my scope using USB (ugh). More importantly, it spares me the agony of trying to rename them and classify them in a batch, hours after I took the original capture. Definitely the best junky little tool I've ever made.

> That's the old open source argument.

Indeed, so it's unfortunate that it doesn't get more discussion in situations such as these.

> How difficult would it be to hide functionality like this in some obscure code that's camouflaged as something else?

More difficult than it would be with proprietary software, where anyone at any time can add malicious code that may never even be discovered over the lifetime of the device.

Free software doesn't prevent malicious actors from contributing malicious code, but it certainly improves chances. It also makes such a move very risky. Just as laws are a deterrent for many crimes, so is public scrutiny.

> How hard would it be to automatically install an app that does this after first boot, disguised as some self updating or analytics feature?

In a fully free OS, this app would have been built from source. So the same arguments apply.

> If someone puts an Android fork online, who has the time to go through the changes to discover something like this?

Again, it improves changes. Here's a good example from Replicant:

http://redmine.replicant.us/projects/replicant/wiki/SamsungG...

> Also, such features could even easily be placed on a tiny, dedicated chip inside the phone, completely apart from the OS.

Sure, but that's not an excuse to throw our hands up and not worry about the security of the software running on it. The OS might even be able to itself mitigate certain things (e.g. the Samsung backdoor mentioned above).
