"Starlords"? "Planetary Knowledge Core"? The "Seven Canons"? What is this, an encyclopedia, or bad sci-fi?

I'm curious, their thing seems to be reject "published sources" in favour of "reliable truth". How does it expect to define what is "reliable truth" then, if not through citing reputable sources?

> I am speaking in a world in which neither you or I have the power to drastically change the US political system

On this point, we agree.

> However we all knew that resolution was impossible in the 2016 election

I'm not talking about a resolution between the tribes themselves, but a synthesis of their viewpoints. In my observation, each tribe is pissed off over a lack of control and feeling powerless. Rather than advocate solutions that reduce centralized control over both tribes' lives, the politicians attack caricatures of the other tribe and implement more controls over them (generally because some donor stands to make a buck off of it). The winning tribe cheers, while the losing tribe builds resentment and we end up with eg Trump.

> I am pointing out the pragmatic problems with throwing your vote away in the name of that ideology

As far as I'm concerned, every vote is a "throw away". But I refuse the Faustian bargain of blessing one evildoer because they're subjectively slightly less evil. Clinton would not be setting off the mass panic we're seeing [0], but still starting empire wars in distant lands and furthering domestic totalitarianism.

But note that I wasn't talking about the societal results of a (non) vote! The real point I am making is that once you cast off this idea that you have some actual say in the actions of the government, your own perspective becomes much more clear. I'm personally not sitting here in shock thinking something like "OMFG how could this happen. I needed to campaign harder, I'd better start working on electing opposition for the midterms", just like I wasn't thinking "well I voted for Obama so I know he's a good guy and he must be having to compromise".

While Trump's actions do alarm my personal biases harder, I'm thinking the same thing today as I did two years ago - the only way this government is going to stop doing evil shit is when it is no longer able to.

[0] Which would be insidious on its own. IMHO one of the great things about Trump's election is the blowback happening. People should feel mortally worried about the surveillance state we're building.
Because it's one of the key ways that physicians get new information about drugs. Not every doctor has the time or the proclivity to do research on every newly launched drug. Having a rep come in and answer questions goes a long way to getting doctors up to speed on the latest information.
Major thread bump here, but there are a number of (second) authors of papers that are recognizable and credible ML/AI researchers. In particular I noticed Marcus Hutter and Jürgen Schmidhuber.

But yeah..
For FYE 2012 through the end of 2015 Alphabet's Income After Tax has been, on average, 81% of its Income Before Tax. That implies a 19% average tax rate. Excluding Q4 2015, the same ratio for Q3 2015 through the end of Q3 2016 was 82%. That implies an 18% average tax rate.

The anomaly was Q4 2015, not this most-recent quarter.

Well considering how long the precedent has been in place and how it has been kept in place over multiple different courts, it seems to hold the status of "good law" no matter your opinion on the legal arguments themselves.

The real issue is that Congress has not wanted to try to push this issue no matter which side has control because it is so divisive. Since the harms to the women from leaving a patchwork system of laws in place are real, that just leaves the courts to fill in the vacuum as far as setting a national policy goes.

It's funny how rarely I see people describing their own actions in these terms, though. I mean, I'm sure it happens, but the dominant mode seems more like "my behavior is authentic, those other people are being fake".

I get annoyed by phonecam-mediated behavior in its extremes, for sure, but I sometimes wonder if I'm not being perceived that way when I'm doing things (sharing a concert photo with a friend who couldn't make it; trying to get just the right angle and exposure on some striking scene) that feel "authentic" inside my own head.

I don't expect you to switch to my side opinion-wise, just to outvote you.

You, however, could give it a shot, but didn't try.

You can try to defer this vote-casting, but, like Trump demonstrated, reality is a mean bitch and you'll end up paying for disregarding other people's opinions.
A friend of mine pointed out that Reagan's administration had attempted to shut down the EPA using the same tactics as Trump's administration is doing now:

http://www.cleanairwatch.org/2016/12/scott-pruitt-beware-les...

He also pointed out that Louis Cordia, who was behind the Burford EPA purges, is now working at the Heritate Foundation and advising the Trump administration.

Also here is a perspective from an anonymous EPA staffer:

So I work at the EPA and yeah it’s as bad as you are hearing:

The entire agency is under lockdown, the website, facebook, twitter, you name it is static and can’t be updated. All reports, findings, permits and studies are frozen and not to be released. No presentations or meetings with outside groups are to be scheduled.

Any Press contacting us are to be directed to the Press Office which is also silenced and will give no response.

All grants and contracts are frozen from the contractors working on Superfund sites to grad school students working on their thesis.

We are still doing our work, writing reports, doing cancer modeling for pesticides hoping that this is temporary and we will be able to serve the public soon. But many of us are worried about an ideologically-fueled purging and if you use any federal data I advise you gather what you can now.

We have been told the website is being reworked to reflect the new administration’s policy.

Feel free to copy and paste, you all pay for the government and you should know what’s going on. I am posting this as a fellow citizen and not in any sort of official capacity.

Even if you choose to disbelieve this, the actionable point right now is "if you use any federal data I advise you gather what you can now."
I feel like there are quite a few ways to counter drones better than lasers. Even nets, ropes, or guns work better than lasers...

Soon we will have counter drones buzzing around I'm sure.

They did increase headcount by more than 10k (from ~62k to ~72k). Headcount tends to produce more revenue eventually, but there's a lag. Staffing up by that much indicates that they're predicting significant growth.
yes, this poster is right, we all make 80-120k out of college and for many of us, it was the best and only offer we received since we are wholly unqualified for most any other job of that $$$

Amazon is using their CA for issuing customer ELB/Cloudfront certificates, not just their own stuff, and not even all of it: the cert I see at https://amazon.com's is Symantec-issued.
"Undisclosed" would be the answer for nearly every startup. All public databases can do is add up the reported fundraising to provide a lower bound.

It's rare for a young startup to be profitable, but many have some revenue which extends their runway.

Founders who live cheaply can stretch $120k well beyond 6 months. 24 months isn't uncommon.

The problem is that it creates a certain expectation of instant response if you are directly contacted.
It's desirable if you're really focused on performance – if you're not a site like Google/Facebook which people access all the time, it's safe to assume that none of your resources are cached and so you might find n milliseconds of load time a healthy gain (less so now that HTTP/2 is widespread). In many cases it's more likely that you'd know of a bug fixed in a new release – where you'd say libfoo >= 1.12.4 – than that 1.3 has a huge problem.

The list applies to "removable aliens" - which is a term of art. Once an alien has entered the USA there needs to be ground for their removal. This may be because you were either inadmissible originally (ie you were let in the country in error), or you are subject to expulsion for some other reason.

TFA says the drone dropped a bomb into an open hatch with the guy standing in the open hatch, killing him.
One factor to consider: what's the cost of the extra DNS lookups and connection latency to a new CDN host vs. your main host, especially in the post-HTTP/2 era? If you had something like SRI where the browser might not even connect at all, that's a pure win but otherwise it's quite easy to find real pages where the extra 500-5000 milliseconds to connect to the CDN is greater than serving a modest-sized file.

(That's not an exaggeration: I've measured uncached latency for DNS + connection for a CDN host in the high end of that range, especially over cellular connections or outside of the U.S.)
That's a reasonable opinion. But it doesn't need to take out a tank to be effective against infantry and moral.

I think his point was that if CPC decreases monotonically forever, then eventually revenue will have to suffer regardless of volume growth. As others have mentioned, this doesn't take into account the mix of new ecosystems, though it's noteworthy that Google doesn't break down CPC by segment so we could see trends for desktop/mobile/YouTube/etc/

It's a wonderful idea. Free healthcare for all. Sadly, it simply isn't sustainable financially. I think in the next 10 years alone it was supposed to cost tax payers 10 trillion and that money can't literally be printed fast enough and the debt our country holds, extremely unsustainable. If they did it cheaper or more cost effective, I would say yes, but financially, you can't.
Additionally, "referenced some news articles" is not sufficient for notability because most startup coverage is PR [1]. Unfortunately, when you get genuine independent journalism, it is also not positive coverage (e.g. Theranos, Magic Leap).

I guess this was inevitable as quadcopters and drones got cheap/mainstream, but still unsettling to see the high quality video recordings. And how does one defend against that? Suicide bombings of marketplaces or a shooting spree are bad enough, but at least the terrorists have themselves a deadly cost. Cheap 3D-printed drones dropping explosives from above are something else.

> "The bombs have hand-painted numbers on them, and some of the components show a honeycomb structure which could mean they were 3D printed. If so, then insurgents may be able to share their designs over the internet and newcomers can print their own guided bomb without any experience."
Aside from the fact that the video's demonstrated that their plenty effective even if they can't currently take out tanks. I notice that RPG's don't look that big (when you ignore the "rocket" part) and can apparently do so.

Drone's also get to attack from above while typical RPG's have to attack the better armored sides.

Looks like the article was first published prior to the inauguration:

This article was published on January 6, 2017, at NEJM.org.

Admittedly it's a bit confusing, given the online article is dated January 26, and includes "SOURCE INFORMATION: Mr. Obama is the former President of the United States." Likely inconsistency when repurposing content.
I was taught not to use a clamp on the bar when doing bench, so you can lean to one side and let the weights drop off if you get stuck.
I suspect you are being downvoted not because you are wrong (I happen to think you are right), but because your comment usurps this fairly specific article to discuss a fairly general qualm.

Is there something specific about this happening that you think advances your point?
I'm sure that would work, at least initially. I'm concerned about reliability. My water has very high levels of calcium carbonate which quickly scales up everything. I think the electrodes wouldn't last long. A nonintrusive solution would be great. I've seen nonintrusive water flow sensors that use ultrasound to detect the flow of water. They are industrial devices and their price makes them unsuitable for my use.

You just made me realize Microsoft's inconsistency makes it rather hard to say an app looks "native" in it. Visual Studio, Edge, Office, Explorer... look nothing alike.

In any case... Qt does map its widgets to the Win32 ones, it's not just a crude imitation. Apps like OBS, Wireshark, VLC and KeePassX get close to a native appearance, it's just that nobody seems to give a shit about going the extra mile to make an app look native in Windows.

There's this if you wanna see how you can get a Qt app to feel right on every platform: http://www.slideshare.net/qtbynokia/how-to-make-your-qt-app-...

Also, UWP style applications seem fairly easy to make with QML if, again, you give a shit.
I've commented here on HN on a few occasions, that swarms of drones could be challenge to tanks. (Every time, I've been pooh-poohed.) While it might be a challenge to penetrate the armor of a modern main battle tank with explosive charges that can be carried by a drone, there are many parts of a functioning tank that are vital to its combat value, which aren't nearly as tough. With a little bit of AI, drones could specifically target these parts. There's also the well-being of the crew to consider. Forcing a tank crew to remain buttoned up makes them less aware of their environment.
One thing we might see more of in the future is drone-placed IEDs. Steal an Amazon delivery drone, mix up some home explosives and you're practically there. Drones remove one of the largest barriers to IED use, which is that people get shot when placing them. Drone + sniper rifle, sneakily deployed on tall buildings, would be effective for similar reasons.

Lastly, you know what suddenly becomes a lot more effective when you don't have to worry about getting killed by your own payload? Chemical weapons.
Only because they made the mistake of sharing their infrastructure (hence, their quirks) and got caught. I wouldn't call that oversight.

CAs should be required to announce ownership or large administration changes, and trust in said CAs should be revoked upon change unless/until they have been re-audited.
I haven't actually looked at the code yet, but to be fair, if your connection through any VPN is completely encrypted (e.g. HTTPS only), then it's not much different to most ISPs...

They can grab metadeta but this is already being done with all the traffic we generate anyway, one should assume.
Which they could have done a lot more efficiently with a rifle.

Guys on the ground don't need anything fancy to take these things out. A medium machine gun would be just perfect.
It's a pretty prestigious journal. It's likely that aides to senators and representatives in key positions, as well as it being forwarded from interested constituents will make sure that the article makes the rounds. And it's generally good political practice to keep informed on the moves made by major players. Likely people in the White House know about it as well.
I'm not sure what you're talking about, but it's definitely not the ACA/Obamacare. The ACA has has nothing to do with "free healthcare for all", and is only tangentially related to free healthcare for anybody (by its relations to Medicaid and Medicare).

If you're talking about virtually every major country besides the U.S., though, they do have something close to free healthcare for all, and it does work, and it's actually a lot cheaper for their societies than the system we have in U.S.

Qt maps its widgets to native ones. As long as you pay the same attention to detail as required when you're accessing the Win32 API directly, you're going to be able to get the same results.

And as I mentioned in the other comment, QML makes it fairly easy to make UWP/Metro-style apps.
