I am too young to remember this first-hand, but my parents were studying at the University of Bergen at the time; they vividly remember the case - unidentified bodies being exceedingly rare in Norway, this was the #1 conversational item for weeks, if not months.

Lots and lots of theories as to her origins and the purpose of her tour of Norway not to mention the question of who killed her, and why.

General consensus at the time was (at least in my parents' circles) was that it was too elaborate to have been a suicide - many thought she'd been in the employ of some Warsaw pact intelligence service, possibly being killed by associates after some falling out or the other. After all, if our counter-intelligence had gotten hold of her, they'd simply lock her up or deport her - or, if you are of a more sinister disposition, disappear her.

Anyway - all just conjecture and guesswork; the idea was just to write a short comment to suggest that this case is very special by Norwegian standards - then I got a bit carried away...

What if you put the FarmBot plotter on wheels or rails and let it move up and down rows of boxes?

I haven't looked a ton at its performance characteristics but I would imagine it spends a lot of time sitting idle with the current plot they're maintaining.

But a similar bot that could maintain 4'x8' boxes and then roll on to the next one could be interesting. Or even one that could manage continuous line of plots of a given width, e.g. 4' wide
Indeed, Airlines almost always struggle with profitability. A few of these airlines restructured their prices to seem more competitive because they can't really lower prices any more than they have, otherwise they would go out of business. And it's entirely possible for some customers to get lower prices now, it's just not any more cost effective overall than before for average day to day usage.

You can call them greedy or manipulative all you like for doing this but it won't change the economics. Running an airline is expensive for a multitude of reasons.

Hearing stories of Richard Branson's efforts to create a good airline with Virgin in an industry full of shitty ones, then mostly failing, made me very sympathetic to how hard the problem is in a marketplace like that . And some people think Uber and AirBnB have it hard...
That's true- and on that note I wonder if it's the gut in general and it's all related in a cycle. (Given the compounding evidence your gut directly affects your brain.)

Reply to the parent comment then. He was the one claiming Americans must drive cars.

My reply was to what's called a "parent" comment. And in that comment was context. And using that context you should understand my comment. They need to be read together. My comment and the parent comment. Read both together. First the parent comment and then my comment, the "child" comment.

I got bizarrely excited when I saw they'd mischaracterized his opinion of James Comey. I share a tremendously positive opinion of the current FBI director, but his handling of tech issues [1] and hiring/firing [2] have been less than ideal. There may not be a way to describe people you feel 98% good about in this media climate. All the good becomes invisible because the disagreements become all anyone speaks about.

And yet, having someone in a prominent role who never disagrees with you is worthless. So there are some really bizarre incentives here.

What's even more bizarre is that e.g. Clapper never got even remotely that level of non-controversial good-doing-ness, and yet we have dramatically fewer conversations about that.

I had a similar idea years ago, the goal was to build a kit that someone from the developed world could use to go somewhere lacking in modern farming equipment, set themselves up as a sultan by buying cheap land, farming it effectively with hired labor, with the eventual goal of building yourself a palace.
I called it Sultanomics... it was a fairly juvenile daydream, that also included acquiring a Harem...

But, the base idea was that a rising tide lifts all ships, and that by increasing efficiency you could help to kickstart the economic development in an area that otherwise would remain stagnant.

> It wasn't the government making exaggerated statements to the press, it was this private company.

Can you source this claim? Here is text from the original WaPo article - http://archive.is/8AEHq -

While it is unclear which utility reported the incident, there are just two major utilities in Vermont, Green Mountain Power and Burlington Electric.

If BE was "making exaggerated statements to the press", then why is it "unclear which utility reported the incident"? The only statement I see from BE is the one they released on their site:

On Thursday night, the Burlington Electric Department was alerted by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) of a malware code used in Grizzly Steppe, the name DHS has applied to recent malicious cyber activity. We acted quickly to scan all computers in our system for the malware signature. We detected suspicious Internet traffic in a single Burlington Electric Department computer not connected to our organization’s grid systems. We took immediate action to isolate the laptop and alerted federal officials of this finding.

There is no indication that either our electric grid or customer information has been compromised. Media reports stating that Burlington Electric was hacked or that the electric grid was breached are false.

Interesting. I have never been able to put my finger on if the resistance to opening pacer comes from the judiciary itself (judges fearing public scrutiny of the entire corpus of court filings) vs the Admin Office / IT wanting to maintain what is essentially a court-tech slush fund. Probably the reality is a little bit of both. I think the only way it gets fixed is with congressional action, so not holding my breath.
> Any experiment that changes benefits to be unconditional whereas they used to be withdrawn if you get a job, will provide very useful insight into peoples behavior under a basic income experiment.

Not really, because (i) tax credits and other proposed "welfare trap" reduction methods have been around and studied for a while and (ii) it doesn't attempt to study any of the features of BI widely believed to have negative impacts such as the cost of extending welfare to millions of people not currently [interested in being] eligible for it, possible social effects of decoupling benefit entitlement from any indication of desire/need and net income reductions to some current welfare beneficiaries if other programmes such as housing entitlements are cut. As a general rule, experiments which don't test any of the perceived negative effects of a proposal generally mislead more than they inform in debates about whether it's an improvement on the status quo.
I wouldn't call it torture, but I would call it "uncomfortable". I'm average build too; I don't mind the lack of legroom in economy, but when I have to spend an entire 12 hour flight managing where my elbows are (ahead of my seatmate, behind my seatmate, arms across my chest, hold the seat in front of me, etc) it's very uncomfortable. A shared 3" wide armrest is just NEVER going to work. If I could just sit in a relaxed pose I'd be thrilled.

They're all unprivileged; having to go to the kernel would defeat the purpose most of the time.

Also, trapping them wouldn't make a difference. Fixing the CPUID fields on the other hand (so that these code paths are not taken in the first place)...
We can live without both of these. If one must choose, SCTP is better than DCCP in all practical situations, that I can think of.

>It is just easier if we don't have to go through all the bureaucracy of managing these decisions.

Yep. American business seems to have convinced the population to recategorize management and decision-making onto ourselves. It's a perfect example of "shadow work": work that was moved from a company's employees to the customer in order to de-skill the job.

I'm theoretically fine with taking a trip by booking a flight, booking a rental car, and booking a hotel room all separately. I did it just this past summer. Being able to give some loose descriptions of what we needed to a travel agent and then just get an email asking for final approval would have been kinda nice, though, especially if it makes economies of scale available so that lower-end customers can have nice things too.

As it was, booking my honeymoon was a bit of a hassle.
I'm careful with the power brick and cables now since I've had this happen on a few Macbooks.

I'd say half of the Macbook users around me have suffered problems with power brick cables. Specially where the mag safe cable connects to the power brick.

I wouldn't blame it on users though. I've never seen other power bricks so plagued with these problems.
Your understanding of WW2 is lacking. It wasn't 2 bad guys who wanted to split Europe. Britain and France were totally on board with Hitler at first:

"The agreement was signed in the early hours of 30 September 1938 (but dated 29 September) after being negotiated at a conference held in Munich, Germany, among the major powers of Europe, excluding the Soviet Union."

The German-Soviet Molotov-Ribbentrop pact was signed in August 1939, almost a year later.

I always seem to need to install native dependencies for Ruby (often dependencies of dependencies of github-pages; I know github-pages seems to be trying to remove native dependencies, but as with all dependency cleanup games, it seems like a bit of whack-a-mole) and installing the DevKit and getting the DevKit working and getting the native dependencies to install has been a different beast every time I've ever tried to do it.

Eventually I always seemed to hit a non-cross-platform-capable makefile somewhere, and could only throw my hands up in despair and give up.

Definitely a lot easier in the Ubuntu on Windows userspace. (Though I was still fighting some weird fires with rvm and whatnot. Given I pretty much only ever need Ruby for github-pages/Jekyll work, I'm sure there is much I don't know about Ruby and a lot of the pain of the Ruby ecosystem to me is simply the fact that of the major 'modern web dev' ecosystems [node, python, ruby] it is the one I know and use the least.)

> I just don't think that "seeing what is included in a airline ticket" is all that complicated

The airlines are incentivised to make it complicated, and just dealing with n different website layouts is challenging enough. Compare to e.g. food labelling, where we require mass in specific units and nutritional information in a specific format, or cars, which are obliged to include mpg and safety information from particular standardised tests in their advertising.

> And there's nothing to say that the standard bundle will necessarily meet that many people's preferences.

It doesn't have to - the point is just to have a point of comparison to be able to compare equivalent offerings from Airline A and Airline B, even if you end up getting a very different bundle from the standard one.
Most of my work is in C++, which is almost 35 years old. By far the best choice of language for cross-platform, client application development, especially C++11/C++14, which bring modern language features (e.g. lambdas, futures, etc) with all the original benefits of the language.

I'm not making any normative claim about leaking. That would be irresponsible.

I brought classification up because it's one of the most common reasons for sources being anonymous. Whether or not you think they should be talking to the press, they do, and the press affords them certain protections doing so.
Sadly it takes sensational stories like this get notice but in the US alone more than a half million get reported each year with nearly eight thousand missing at any one time

At least here they have a body. There are tens of thousands of other bodies that cannot be identified in the US alone. So going forward it will probably take genetic sampling at birth so that everyone can be identified or every set of remains can be. How much of society trusts government to do only that?

But nature seems to just not abhor the "vacuum" left in cars filled with just a single rider hard enough to fill that. This is about finding a lower bound for the vehicles needed to fulfill demand with multi-occupancy.

What I would find even more interesting is if they used the same simulation to determine the number of cars required to fulfill that demand without multi-occupancy, but with the same level of dispatch smarts and similarly strict optimization for the lowest number of cars possible.

Why would this be interesting? There are not 13000 cabs because less would not be able to meet the existing demand, there are 13000 cabs because the market is big enough to support them (and decisions regarding the volume of the medallion system are surely not done with the optimization vigor as researchers looking for an impressive lower bound in a simulation). Hailable transportation is a very special market where more supply only increases instant hailability, but does not have the conventional effect of decreasing prices. And because more supply means more congestion, it can even increase prices (when rates have a time component on top of a distance component) and demand (when permanent congestion makes it unattractive to have a personal vehicle).

I'm the CTO of Global-Regulation.com which is the search service with the most number of countries (78) and machine translated laws. We are often described by clients as the "Google of laws" but there are huge differences. Getting to Google-level search, where the engine understands your intent, is very challenging. People often search for industry terms like "SAR reporting" and what they want is Suspicious Activity Reports (SAR). A Google-like engine would need to understand what the query means from an industry point of view (since the terms often don't actually appear in legislation) and then translate that to the specific term used in each country. This is far from trivial and requires looking at secondary sources, not just the laws themselves.

Other problems include official vs. unofficial laws, slow consolidations, updates to the law (of various kinds) and attempting to normalize the world's laws to a US standard (like excluding municipal laws and avoiding guidance-type documents from civil law countries). These are problems Google doesn't have to deal with and customers expect a very high standard for legal search results.
Seen this on a family member's Mac. It ground to a halt in exactly the same way computers have for ages when too much virtual memory is being used.

I think what's happened is that every single developer at Apple has SSDs on their work and home computers so they get wasteful with memory. When iPhoto needs 150% memory to update an index you're not even going to notice that with an SSD, but with an HDD the system can freeze up.

This will eventually resolve itself once every computer has a SSD, but in the meantime the existing Macs with HDDs will be a mess.
It's hard to include that information in a meaningful way on a dashboard. It's much easier to alert on that when a metric deviates by a certain percentage. We used a service called StatHat that did this automatically, but it could easily be written on top of an in-house data source like Influx or Prometheus.

Dashboards are about visualizing how your application works over time, not whether your application is failing. You should know as soon as possible when something has gone wrong and not be waiting until you come in to work in the morning to figure it out. For us, a key stat trending up or down by more than 10% was sent to PagerDuty for someone to investigate. This didn't happen often, but when it did, it was frequently due to something that we were glad we investigated promptly (e.g. abuse/fraud, misbehaving release, etc). It was really rare that we just got that much more or less usage organically.
Cryptocurrency advocates have, in the past, aggressively promoted the currencies with not just over-hyped arrogance and refusal to acknowledge reasonable criticism, but also tying it to a politically confrontational ideas that would be very damaging to society if they were actually successful. This has produced a lot of anti-advocates.

Etherum combines un-upgradeable code with a lack of formal verification systems. As a result, the only way an exploit could be fixed in one of its largest and most heavily promoted use cases (the "DAO") was to fork the currency. Both forks are still trading, although one at greatly diminished value.

Naysayers are missing the point of this (admittedly very simple) proof of concept: a few developers wanted to make a game that allowed money pooling and tournament payouts.

So they made it.

Without any work getting payment processing, banking, a gaming attorney, and so on. This is such a significant competitive advantage for a small team that it changes the landscape of the possible -- the typical costs in time and money of those parts of the game would vastly dominate the development costs of an asteroids remix. In this case, probably most of the work was put into the game itself, not the Solidity/ETH side.

This is the "a calorie is a calorie is a calorie" argument, and it's not true. Sugar upsets the metabolic process in disconcerting ways, leading to fat accumulation and insulin resistance; sugar is also more addictive than cocaine[0]. Meaning that when you consume calories from sugar, you crave more sugar calories. The foods you eat do make a difference in how fat you get, because they alter your metabolism and behavior -- but Western foods are so loaded with added sugar that sugar becomes difficult to control for.
