Unilateral nuclear disarmament is a solution that seems to be rarely discussed.

The real reason so many countries have or want to have nuclear weapons is not to ever use them or even so that they serve as a deterrent against a largely hypothetical enemy; it's as a badge of "greatness".

That's why rational arguments against nuclear weapons or which attempt to describe the utter craziness of it all, have so little impact.

Just ignore the people who don't want to associate with you, and focus your energy on the people who do. It's usually a good idea anyway: people might not like you for one of a zillion different reasons, and you probably will never know which one it is, and it doesn't really matter anyway since you're not likely to change that assessment once made.

It's good to stop making those racist jokes because it'll bias the folks who want to hang out with you towards those folks who a lot of other folks don't want to hang out with, but most people judge based on the present reality, and the ones who don't usually aren't folks that you'd want around you now anyway.
Of course you can. It is your time to spend, not Bill Gates or any one elses. I don't read fiction although I enjoy reading history books even though some of them could be considered fiction by critics.
These numbers don't take the cost of storage into account. It doesn't matter how many kilowatts you can produce at noon when you need them at midnight. Simply taking kilowatt hours produced and multiplying by the average market price is not a good estimate of the value produced by solar. Sure those numbers work now while solar is only providing a fraction of the total energy being consumed but if solar were to become the dominate energy source we would have to solve the storage problem and this will greatly increase production costs. Solar is still more expensive than the alternatives when considered at realistic scales.
To be honest, you should probably not recommend something as secure if you have not fact-checked to make sure that the thing you have recommended actually emphasizes security at a minimum.

While I am happy Copperhead OS is around, it only supports a very limited set of Nexus devices. Back in the pre-Signal days Open Whisper Systems started their own work on an Android fork called WhisperCore. I'm curious if any of the features from WhisperCore ever made it into a new ROM, or if it was all quietly abandoned.
Yep, it's awful. I find a thread in Google and all the useful comments are gone.
Another I found doing research for human-verifiable builds was the LCC compiler. It's specifically designed to be easy to understand despite producing good performance. People that mentioned it said the authors spent around 10 years on it trying to achieve that goal. Full description is in the book they sell to recoup some of that investment. Worth looking into if you hadnt heard of it.

Note: It's not FOSS but is free for personal use. Should be fine if used for DDC.
Your TL;DR is incorrect or misleading. CyanogenMod is dead.
I did exactly the same thing. I was waiting for this release and knew I'd be updating from my 2012 rMBP this time around.

But, in the end, I couldn't accept the large list of compromises. When it came down to it I specced out a brand new 2015 rMBP on the Apple Store.

I've been using it a couple of weeks now and I'm still glad I made that choice!
> we need to actually tackle many of the root problems

We have frequently shifting national moods so why is it a surprise our foreign policy behaves as if it has a multiple personality disorder? If one was a cynic they might suggest this was a subversive policy for one system to cause systemic instability outside of its borders.
Rudolph Runner: A Holiday Game
No argument with any of that, but I think that the theme of the movie in question was merely using a population crash as a proxy to explore what happens to society when it has lost all hope for the future. I don't believe it was actually trying make any statements in particular regarding risks around population growth (or decline).
You mean that it's undefined? It actually makes perfect sense that it is left this way.

Consider addition and subtraction as functions:

f(x) = x + 42
g(x) = x - 42

Now, realize that these functions are inverses of each other. Each one undoes the operation of the former:

f(g(x)) = 42 + x - 42 = x
g(f(x)) = x + 42 - 42 = x

If you change 42 to any other real number, this relationship still holds. This is because f and g are functions that relate a number uniquely to another number. The inverse then, is just flipping that relationship (7 -> 49 has the inverse 49 -> 7).

You can define similar functions for multiplication and division, and things will work out in the same fashion until you try to replace 42 with 0. What happens then is that the multiplication relationship is no longer unique. For

f(x) = 0 * x

f(x) is 0 for any choice of x! This is a problem when we try to flip the relationship as before to invert the operation. Since f(7) = 0 and f(49) = 0, should g(0) be 7 or 49?

Moreover, the fact that the right and and left hand limit of 1/x as x -> infinity does not converge means that there's no obvious way to "plug the hole" so to speak and define 1/0 as some value.
I gotta say I laughed out loud when I saw the mention of The Velvet Underground. It also reminded me of this aside Lou Reed spoke before performing a song;

> This is a song about the sorrows of the contemporary world, of which I know we all know so well. At least, I read about it all the time. It's like, one day – this is when I was in college, right? – and I woke up, 6:30 in the morning because I get up early, and I put on the radio, and they said, y'know, 'So-and-so truck driver today ran over his baby son's head and it burst like a watermelon.' And then they said, 'It's 22 degrees out.' So I figured, on all levels, there was no reason ever to go out again. I stayed indoors for about eight months. Also passed with honors in Kierkegaard – that's 'cause I understand, y'know, the existential leap. Anyone who lies in bed at 6:30 in the morning listening to that has to. Anyway, after that communism was the only answer for me, I felt. And if you can't be a communist and make money, then you have to be a rock & roll singer. At least in Hoboken ... So anyway, this is a song called 'I Can't Stand it Anymore.'"
I wonder how the author deals with conflicting settings files in the home directory? For example KDE5 leaves a lot of files with a period, this would create version conflicts at minimum.
Well, because it would be reasonable to assume that 40% of a typical business user received emails are something that should be ignored.

e.g. 10% of all emails are critical, important or urgent, 30% of emails aren't critical but need a response, additional 20% don't need a response but must be understood, and 40% are just "organizational noise".
I have a few questions about that if you have a minute:

If we were seeing real growth surely we'd see at least some signals outside of transaction rate. We also have an ongoing block size debate at the moment and I wouldn't put it past some of the proponents(Ver) to be willing to spend money to artificially inflate block sizes.

Without history students are given an often misleading view of how math constructs evolve. Not only does historical context help some students learn and accept certain math concepts (helping answer the 'why?'), but it also provides insight as to how math research is actually carried-out.

Just a heads up if anyone attempts this: I notice there is no mention of being careful with zfs pool feature flags. As I understand it, currently the grub2 zfs module doesn't support some of the newer feature flags found in ZoL and/or FreeBSD's ZFS. You need to be careful with what features you disable and enable on your pool to make this work right.
In this context, your idea of history is of a "Historian's history". The article on the other hand is about "more historical context" in the progression of mathematical tools and ideas.

Worth considering, is that if this practice gained widespread appeal, the quality of how it is done (by the best and probably by the majority) would improve.

For my opinion, I think the idea "incorporate history" is just the most obvious first attempt at more story telling in mathematics. If these "stories" are not a part of the classroom then they may come too late or never for the majority.

I do agree that math is a tool, but it should be taught with more rhetorical tools. To trade a little into your knowledge space, think about the fondness many have for "The Little Schemer".

> how much each reprogrammed circuit has in common with any other

Very little. An FPGA is a set of reprogrammable logic blocks (LUTs) of very small size, plus a number of special purpose peripherals. The "layout" process of assigning functions to LUTs is usually done with simulated annealing and random perturbation. The compiler won't necessarily give the same output from the same input, let alone slightly different input.

The fixed-function blocks and any embedded processors (e.g. Nios) are more targetable. But you could also e.g. set up the clock PLL to leak the FPGA configuration slowly via spread-spectrum modulation.
High turnover is indeed extremely common in the games industry but I fail to see how it excludes a failure. It is common because failure is also extremely common. How the fact that Zynga is a sinking ship and displays the same signs as the CIG does is filling one with optimism about CIG?
Loved that.
Well, being content and happy with your current state is pretty much not compatible with high ambition and continually striving to achieve more, it's a tradeoff.

A subverted FPGA could contain a whole different circuit which turns on based on whatever condition desired (timer, radio command, data pattern seen by the FPGA) and takes over the function of the FPGA in whatever way the subverter intended. As the post to which you are replying said, for good effect, the designer of the subverted circuit would need to know the function the FPGA is performing in your device and design a custom circuit for it. This is possible e.g. by examining the first batch of your devices, and inserting a subverted circuit in your supply chain for subsequent batches. Certainly a lot of trouble to go to, but it's possible theoretically, and people have been writing about the possibility.

Now, the FPGA is not necessarily an ideal place to insert your circuit; personally, I would put it in something like one of those flat ribbons which connect components inside so many devices, or a socket - they may have access to all the bus pins of the gadget, and they will be less conspicuous. I don't think 3D printing is the answer to this, since too many things would have to be 3D printed.

Now, I don't know how I would go about protecting from such attacks, or if this is even a real-life concern right now, but I would think that some kind of automated high-resolution X-ray imaging and analysis technology would be a more realistic direction.
Sure they do.

Appetite, mostly.

Utilities want stable production so have been slow to embrace renewables at high penetration (even though the economics are there). The exception the U.S. is Texas with over 50% wind at night, because the utilities don't have much say in the production portfolio (it's heavily deregulated).

For distributed rooftop solar, consumers are much more swayed by the savings, so many solar companies find it easier to sell hundreds of systems directly to consumers instead of one system to utilities.

This is changing slowly, because the economics are getting too much for utilities to ignore, but unfortunately federal rules like the clean power plan will likely be made toothless soon, so many utilities will continue to be stuck in the mud.
So you're sub40ish at 10k and lands at 60ish at 15k. If true, that's impressive.

American adults read so little that this attitude only comes from a minority of the minority. For the most part, people see it as a waste of time because they may only read 1-4 books a year, so they might feel those books should have some meaningful purpose in their lives (or they only read a book because it is supposed to be great or have some use they can apply to their lives).

Read more, worry less about what others think. I read an average of a book a week (and I'm a slow reader), and most people find that to be argument enough to read whatever I want.
It also runs on AWS so even though they try to trick you into thinking you don't pay for bandwidth you do. Also small EC2 instances are throttled so their server would probably not function most of the time.
Did exactly the same thing here. Bought 2nd-hand. Immaculate. Saved £900!
That's the opposite of what I'm saying and I don't know how you drew that conclusion. I'm saying that griefers are precisely the people who get upset when they lose within the gameplay framework.

They take up griefing because they are bad losers and griefing gives them a way to 'win' - through the social approval of other griefers, which is reliable enough to slightly outweigh the social payoff from playing unironically. In the griefing game the currency is the negative attentions of non-griefing players, and the primary challenge is not getting banned by the admins. It gives the griefers a sense of power by playing a meta-game whose existence isn't obvious to other players, but without all the hard work of actually setting up and running a game service.

They may be crap at whatever the original attractive game is, but they get to be winners in the 'griefing game' by coopting the other players to be unwilling participants. Ultimate victory is achieved if the game world becomes so toxic that everyone else but the griefers eventually stop coming, at which point the meta-opponents (ie the admins) have been 'beaten' and it's time to move onto some other game and wreck that. This was a bit easier to observe back in the days of dial-up MUDs when communities were smaller and you were likely to run into the same people on multiple platforms.
Did the same thing. Then I went even further and bought a maxed out 2011 17" MBP.

Unicode is a terrible mess.

If email is interrupting you 24/7 then you're treating it as a synchronous medium instead of an asynchronous one.

Sometimes I'll look at subject lines in the notification area on my phone, but the only messages that get looked at immediately even during the work day are ones from a small number of people and notifications of antivirus events from our monitoring system.
The fact that mathematics definition are a construction and not something that's absolutely obvious, and also that notations have evolved and so are a bit arbitrary as well is absolutely crucial to demystify mathematics. I think the reason mathematicians still wonder if it's necessary is because it would only show that maths are a human construction and not a heaven's revelation, and so makes math more mundane.
