> "Tobacco taxes are incredibly regressive (they very disproportionately tax the poor)."

They disproportionately tax smokers making smokers at least pay a portion of the additional health care costs they incur by smoking.

Taxing tobacco contributes over half the effect of ensuring teens never start and smokers quit smoking.
I think all they are suggesting is that running SELinux can protect you from vulnerabilities that no one knows about yet. Obviously they can't give an example of an vulnerability that is still a 0 day.
Yeah you're wrong, it's to do with the speed they are travelling to get the launch trajectory, they lack the fuel required to make it back to land
I propose "思索". It means "think, search for a solution"
Getting Started with Testing in Go
I don't understand what you are getting at here, can you explain more? How is an interpreted language turned into something compiled? It sounds more like you have an issue with heavy weight frameworks, which I can agree with, but I am not sure if this is what you are really trying to say. I also agree that feedback loops and debugging trails are important.

Clojurescript tends to do well with 2 of the 3 you listed. Feedback loops are quick with hot code reloading, side-by-side development, browser tools integrations (ex: with chrome dev tools) and so on. The Clojure/Clojurescript REPL itself is probably one of the best feedback loops I can think of that I've used other than proper Lisp machines or good Smalltalk images. Add in working with a data-oriented approach cljs encourages and using immutable data structures, EDN, transit, and things like that, and again things are a fast feedback loop predictable, and easy to debug.

The actual debug trails however in Clojure and Clojurescript leave much to be desired but are getting better. I personally haven't had many issues but I grew up on assembler, Lisp, C, C++, and that kind of stuff. After a few days, most of the more obscure things are at least predictable and you understand what they are. Given you can attach with a debugger from Emacs, Intellij, Vim, etc. it's even easier to figure out what's going on. Clojurescript and Clojure tend to discourage big monolithic things that aren't composable via the standard library, 3rd party libraries, and language design. You simply will shoot yourself in the foot if you start creating giant framework blobs and things that can't compose, so to me that's a good thing. For instance, using things like map, reduce, cat, transduce, apply, update, etc. become infinitely harder. Of course like any language, anyone can still do dumb stuff but it's nice that things are pretty simple from the functional point of view that common sense hopefully sets off alarm bells for people.

Anyway, Clojurescript in general for me is a superior experience compared to the old days when I messed around with Perl, CGI scripts, PHP, ASP classic (COM+ add-ons!), and so on to get a dynamic website going for something. Refresh, print line, and approaches like that are and have always been garbage. I've never had better visibility into an app than with Clojurescript, and given that most things are idempotent and pure that I write where possible, testing is also even easier. In most SPA frameworks in Clojurescript, you also have a single source of truth and visibility into it is as simple as running a built-in function to grab a map key or just printing the map if you want the old school approach.

This slippery slope goes in both directions. Software is also easier to audit when it's built in higher-level languages, but we don't have ideological objections about verifiability to software written in C.
Alison has some great courses too! nice infographic.
The rules against paying donors in many countries can cause problems. Some people with very rare bloodtypes are in high demand. When someone needs that rare blood we could at least cover the traveling expenses needed to bring in the willing donor. But that just isnt allowed.
> that they refuse to learn things that are difficult and instead simply turn it off.

I wish I could do this with our Logstash cluster. It requires so much hand-holding, and troubleshooting can be quite opaque. Last night the logstash indexing service had 'just stopped', and was sending 57000-character-long json loglines into its own log.

And if they do fix a bug, you can't just upgrade one component, you have to upgrade logstash and elasticsearch and kibana... and maybe whichever beats you're using.
SpaceX is inconsistent about what videos they provide after a flight. They'll usually pick one or two that are good from a marketing perspective. (New and/or impressive.) I wouldn't be surprised to see an edited Vine of the satellite deployments, though.
Timestamp must be wrong. Pi Zero did not exist in 2012.
The first COPV did not explode, the pipes leading to it were severed when a strut failed, allowing high pressure helium to flow into the tank (which is why it was a much 'slower' event).

That's a pretty specific claim that "they need to be redesigned and SpaceX is twiddling around the issue to avoid the r&d cost." Do you have any evidence to support that?
The origin of the phrase is like something out of Lewis Sinclair's Babbitt.

In 1911 on a rainy morning, TJ Watson met with the advertising and sales teams at the National Cash Register Corporation (pre-IBM). Frustrated by the lack of new submissions Watson went into a tirade:

The trouble with every one of us is that we don't THINK enough. We don't get paid for working
with our feet - we get paid for working with our heads. Feet can never compete with brains.
Thought has been the father of every advance since time began.

Knowledge is the result of thought, and thought is the keynote of success in this business,
or in any business.

Any man on the selling force today could make two dollars where he now makes one, if he would
but THINK along the right lines.
It is our job to help the man in the field think right. It is our job to place make them
think about what a Cash Register will do for them.

'I didn't think', has cost the world millions of dollars.

Mr. Olwell, I wish you would have a big placard made with that word Think on it in bold letters,
and have it on the wall of this department tomorrow morning. I suggest also that we adopt the
word Think as a motto or slogan, keeping it before us at all times in as many different
ways as we can.

THINK is the original ABC. Think Alec Baldwin spittling on a bunch of sales guys not meeting their numbers in Glengarry Glen Ross and you've got it. It's not some lofty command to invent the future. It's an order to close more sales.

A year later, Watson was convicted of anti-competitive sales tactics and sentenced to a year in prison. Two years after that he was fired from the National Cash Register Corporation and went to join IBM.

I've had a pretty good experience with the DMV in TN. I know others who haven't, but I have.
I've seen statements from them about this. They do care but they also are pragmatic and made the choices they had to make to reach their goal, which was to have a small cheap programmable device with enough power to make cool things easily. Openness came second to that.
I'll pitch in here with a 300 bps acoustic coupler claim, back when bps == baud [0].

Bought the coupler and a Volker Craig VT100 terminal (complete with still-attached security chain) for $50 CAN from an Admin at my university who had no doubt pinched it from his employer.

This allowed me to dial in and work on programming assignments at the last hour, when the labs were full but open dial-up ports always available.

Don't know when I got rid of the coupler - I felt like a high-tech dude dialing the number, listening for the carrier and then placing the receiver in the cups.

I have several points on this:

"...yet there isn't a project like that"

Not exactly. There are several Arduino based phones like the DIY Cellphone by David Mellis. I have an improved version of that right here.

"Open Source / Open Hardware"

All open phone projects have the exact same problem. The core component, the baseband (which is basically the phone) is a complete blackbox. AFAIK that's also true for the SIM800 used here. So arguing security is a bit dishonest.

"Price"

I'd say the price calculation is extremely optimistic. You'll only get that price if you buy the parts in bulk. Especially the PCBs.

Anyways.. cool project!
Because SpaceX goes to orbit and Blue Origin doesn't.
This comment is pretty funny juxtaposed with the one above regarding heavy copy in advertising.
For plasma donation, every individual is tested for blood-borne diseases. They draw an additional whole blood sample first for this test.

This is even more rigorous than what we do for whole blood donation, in which blood samples are pooled and tested as a batch. Ironically, the reason we're able to do this is that we make a larger profit off of plasma donations, whereas we don't for whole blood, and have to use the cheaper testing methods for that.
SpaceX can and will land on land when the mission allows it. See ORBCOMM-2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ANv5UfZsvZQ

Blue Origin's mission allows it because it's suborbital. That is: it doesn't actually go anywhere other than straight up. That's also why they can launch in the middle of Texas.
I suppose technically, the PA we're thinking about could go in a can.
What Can FMRI Tell Us About Mental Illness?
Then what exactly are we arguing about? My original claim was:

"You can demonstrate the presence of a vulnerability in closed source software but there's no way to demonstrate (or even provide evidence of) the absence of any vulnerabilities." [Emphasis added] (Also please note that I very deliberately did not use the word "prove".)

Your response was:

"That's identically true of open-source software."

If you acknowledge that it is easier to audit source code then it cannot be the case that anything is "identically true" of open and closed source software (except for uninteresting things like that they are both subject to the halting problem). If it is easier to audit source code (and you just conceded that it is) then it is easier to find vulnerabilities, and so it is more likely that vulnerabilities will be found, and so (for example) the failure of an audit conducted by a competent and honest agent to find vulnerabilities is in fact evidence (not proof) of the absence of vulnerabilities.

But if you have source code written in a language designed to admit formal proofs then it is actually possible to demonstrate the absence of certain classes of vulnerabilities. For example, code written in Rust can be demonstrated (maybe even proven) to not be subject to buffer overflow attacks.
Can I also please get an invite. This community looks amazing.
"People that have never donated a dollar to charity in their lives" is a particularly American, or let's say anglophone, way to approach social justice.

Charities are based on good will, but "the less fortunate" do not need "good will": they need social rights. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_rights

If you don't see "exploitation" when people need and they are willing to sell their blood, I have no idea what you mean by exploitation.
A packager is generally responsible for selinux policies if they aren't suitable for inclusion in the core policy, as a developer if you want to write them please do but certain aspects rely on things like where binaries and application data are stored so you can't always write a policy that won't need tweaking on a specific distribution.

SELinux policies take some time to write the first time or two, but typically running in permissive mode and running your app with a permissionless context will give you everything you need to include in one.

Admins have the hard job when they move default data directories around, takes time to get used to running 'semanage fcontext' in addition to setting file system permissions.
> The rules against paying donors in many countries can cause problems. Some people with very rare bloodtypes are in high demand. When someone needs that rare blood we could at least cover the traveling expenses needed to bring in the willing donor. But that just isnt allowed

For plasma, most countries meet their unfulfilled demand in part by buying plasma from the US.

That isn't allowed for all other forms of tissue, though, so the shortages for rare matches remain. This literally costs lives.
People change. And therefore, I suppose, so does the message.
Elixir's concurrency primitives & actor system make some concurrent and parallel jobs much easier than I'm used to in other languages.
Blue Origin does not launch into orbit. Going up is the 'easy' part. To get to orbit you have to go many thousands of miles per hour sideways. Blue Origin doesn't go sideways at all, they just go up and come back down.

SpaceX has done 'land' landings in the past as well (for lighter payloads they have enough fuel to turn around and come all the way back to land).

EDIT: Here's a quick explainer on the topic with shiny graphics: http://www.popularmechanics.com/space/rockets/a18711/blue-or...
Isn't it ironic that anyone who could successfully parse this headline without looking up the individual components, probably already knew the information. Conversely, to anyone not deeply interested in SpaceX, this headline appears to be word salad from a stroke victim.
Don't you think you're making too much assumption here? If a large firm lobbied to create an "artificial ... wall," they would write a pre-defined amount, such as "firms who have $100MM AUM," rather than making it vague.

"Successful investments" can be validated with a reasonable argument, so it actually opens door for younger VCs.
The chart depicted in xkcd https://xkcd.com/980/ doesn't seem to agree with this.

Raise I might argue in favor of (though I find it annoying too) solely because it's a language feature to change where you return to. It's not a thing you can express via other code. (though a callback-only language sounds kinda interesting / terrifying)

Print statements are horrific though, totally agreed. It's just normal IO with a common default, but making it as a statement causes problems, e.g. `lambda: print 'yay'` isn't allowed.
No... there is no need for that on Windows. I use gvim all the time.
Probably, but not everyone considers those things to be rights. Meanwhile, I tossed voting out because while it is patently a right, it is expressly not protected by that document.

Edit: I often forget that most people don't know the context to this. TLDR, there is no "right to vote" in the constitution. There are amendments that prohibit discrimination in the practice of voting, but if a state wanted to abolish elections for all people, they would not be infringing anyone's constitutional right to vote because no such right exists, as no such right is enumerated. Of course, not all rights are enumerated, but typically unenumerated rights are subject to lesser judicial scrutiny. Of course, this is not generally the case with voting and (lately at least) gay marriage, but altogether, this is a much longer discussion that is somewhat tangential to the argument at hand.
Well there was evidence -- a vehicle that was registered to him was photographed as it was involved in a civil infraction. It wasn't conclusive evidence, much less proof. But it was evidence.

And although I'm not a lawyer, my understanding is that probable cause is a relatively low standard to meet, much lower than preponderance of the evidence and certainly much lower than beyond reasonable doubt.

Ask yourself this -- if a witness saw a car (and noted its license plate) parked in a house's driveway during the time when a burglary was likely to have taken place, and the car was unknown to those who lived at that address, would a judge sign a search warrant on that vehicle and the registrant's address based on probable cause?
> if there is an accident-free red light running incident, then there are no plaintiffs with standing to claim injury ergo there are no tickets issued (as there would be no one to issue them) ergo there would be no revenues.

That's not what the article was about. Injury does not have to occur for you to get a ticket (and have to pay it) for running a red light. You have violated a regulation, and the city has standing. The article was about a different situation where there was no actual proof that Adam broke the law, yet he was being accused of exactly that.
It does, according to wikipedia (at least some sources are written):

> The UK does not have one specific constitutional document. Instead the constitution is found within a variety of written and some unwritten sources. This is sometimes referred to as an "unwritten" or uncodified constitution.

You're just cherry picking what you want to pretend to be knowledgable about. You don't have to be a hair dresser to discuss trends in that industry. Just like I don't need to work for the Department of Labor to discuss labor trends.

And the question is why is there so much emphasis on only technology to make the workplace 50/50, but not similar pressure on other industries that might be experiencing some sort of imbalance? Besides, why is it a good thing or a necessary thing that technology be 50/50? If you want to argue that we need gender balance in this one specific industry, then I want gender balance in every industry. Otherwise, I'm not on board.
SpaceX launches stuff into earth's orbit, and to enter orbit you must be traveling very fast horizontally -- it is not enough to merely escape the earth's atmosphere by ascending vertically. The first stage travels hundreds of miles 'downrange' of the launch site (as well as up) in order to achieve the required horizontal velocity. Most orbital launches are aimed over an ocean, so that if something goes wrong the fiery bits don't land in a populated area, hence the need for a landing barge.

If the first stage were to "fly" all the way back to land after separating from the second stage, that would require some combination of a heavier/stronger rocket to hold more fuel, and a reduced payload capacity to orbit.

Blue Origin only does short, up-and-down flights -- they are not trying to achieve orbit so there is no need for horizontal travel. They can simply shut off the rocket and fall back to the launch site.
A minor clarification: plasma donation is not even about "live tissue". You get your blood cells back, only the plasma is taken.
The first loss was due to a strut that failed at about one fifth of the load it was rated for. Nothing to do with the COPV other than that the strut happened to be attached to one.

Your second paragraph is awfully definitive coming from someone who doesn't seem to know what actually happened.

Unlike the Shuttle, SpaceX's manned vehicle will have the ability to escape an exploding launcher. It's best avoided, obviously, but a repeat of Challenger should end with everybody safe and sound, just not in orbit.
It has nothing to do with the height. Both rockets go 'up' a similar amount. The difference is how far sideways Falcon 9 has to go (since it is launching a payload to orbit).

No this is nonsense. All you have to do is look at the ratios of men and women pursuing programs like computer science at CMU or MIT or whatever. You have perhaps an equal number of potentially qualified men and women, but the number of men going to the training to make them qualified far exceeds the number of women.
Interesting. My only objection is to the bit about the current president. You said that she uses a pinyin spelling, but "TS" isn't a pinyin consonant.
What about the window between an infection by the HIV and the production of antibodies ?

Parent's argument doesn't seem to be irrelevant, otherwise, if the screenings were totally reliable why would we bother asking for risky behaviours ?

Lying is one of the arguments against paid blood donations in France, the other being that poor people may be incentivized to put their health at risk by donating to often (donations are anonymous).
The WHO seems to advocate for unpaid donations :

> An adequate and reliable supply of safe blood can be assured by a stable base of regular, voluntary, unpaid blood donors. These donors are also the safest group of donors as the prevalence of bloodborne infections is lowest among this group. World Health Assembly resolution WHA63.12 urges all Member States to develop national blood systems based on voluntary unpaid donations and to work towards the goal of self-sufficiency.[1]

Yes--this would be the best, but it's always been about Revenue Collection since I got my provisional licence at 15 1/2.

Personally, I would like to see fines tied to Income.

In my county, of Marin, the wealthy drive like they don't have a care in the world. They don't care if they get a ticket. It's just a part of driving? "Oh well?"

The help--they know a $500 ticket might ruin their year, or put a dent in next months rent? It's not fair.

Plus--towns, counties realized 25 years ago that fees, and fines on all levels are a legal way to tax.

I'll spill the beans on Marin County. Just don't drive through it on a Friday, or Saturday night, after 10:30 p.m. Cops assume everyone drinks like they do on their days off, or at parties.

San Anselmo is basically a speed trap. If you aren't white and look wealthy, be prepared for a pull over for no reason, or a really debatable ticket.

San Rafael is o.k.; they have real crime to attend to.

Ross, Greenbrae, Kentfield, Corte Madera, Novato, and Sausalito are just Revenue Collection Squads.
