There's no confusion here. It will be possible, but relying on it to stop traffic waves is an untenable fantasy. Even directly connected fiber optic communication has levels of unreliability that would make it untenable to drive closer than you can stop from visual sensory alone...and you want to rely on wireless communication?

At it's best, wireless communication may help traffic miles from an incident, by communicating problems (most likely with some central management system) and routing traffic around it. Visual range sensors will dominate all local interactions, just like they do with swarm coordination systems in both nature and robotics.
"How much are you willing to pay the nine teams of scientists whose experimentation fails to yield any useful medications for every one that works?"

The same yearly salary that the folks on the "success" team make. I don't see why success is the issue here. I'd just make sure the failure is public information so that others can learn from it. After all, the things that don't work aren't valueless and the drug may be effective for something else.
> The further mathematical theories veer from their empirical origins, the more "baroque" or "degenerate" they become ... maybe something equivalent to, e.g. modern string theory ... was pissing him off.

I really didn't get the impression that this was an attack on "very pure" mathematics. Perhaps an attack on the notion of absolute/universal rigour. The stuff about degeneracy appears almost as an interesting aside.
Content-Type not doing the trick?
I'm surprised you got downvoted. Kali actually isn't a security focused distribution. It is meant to be an offensive tool that you usually use for pentesting and use in a VM or a live USB.

DONOT use Kali thinking it is a secure (defense) distro. Use Quebes or Tails or heck even Debian with some secure changes, but not Kali.
My employer pays all but a token amount of my premiums ($5) and my copays are also token fees ($20 for an office visit, etc). I basically don't think about healthcare as a financial item.

If instead my employer decided to give me the money directly, my marginal tax rate would take roughly half of it.

The existing system works really well for well-compensated employees, and we vote. That's probably why it's been allowed to be on fire for everyone else for so long.
> There are many very cheap ways of keeping physicians up-to date, such as a conference presentation of the drug, followed by a Q&A session, with a recording freely available online.

Because most doctors are happy to spend hours watching recordings of drug presentations.

For better or worse, doctors are just people and if you want them to understand the benefits of your new drug, it will fall to you to convince them. Most doctors are not going to thoroughly study every new drug.
Sure, the tensor product space has a basis that is formed by the tensor products of all pairs of basis elements. But this is different from saying that any particular vector in the space is a tensor product of elements from the individual spaces.

But I'm possibly just misunderstanding what you're saying.

At least in my case, it's more that I'm willing to accept investment in human capital (my skill set growing) in lieu of cash. I do expect that investment to pay off in future returns of some sort (job security, future salary).

It's not that I don't care about salary anymore.

This is a problem for many of the municipalities in the United States. I'm not familiar with the history of how this ended up happening for Georgia, but for municipalities the cause is often the economics of codifying and publishing the official code.

Assembling the laws into a usable code is extremely labor intensive. Someone has to figure out where the new law fits into the old code and copy and paste as necessary. Governments often outsource the work to a third party vendor in order to free up internal human and monetary resources. The end effect is that the codifier controls the code.

There are all kinds of downstream effects. For one, computer-readable formats of the law are nonexistent. This also means that there is a huge barrier to creating interesting new technologies on top of the law.

I'm the cofounder at Open Law Library (http://www.openlawlib.org), a non-profit that is trying to fix this problem by introducing technology at all stages of the law making process. We're working with Washington D.C. right now, and you can find a glimpse into the future at https://beta.code.dccouncil.us/dc/council/code/ (bulk downloads available at the link at the bottom).
Because everyone has had their own experience that they have learned from. Most people who do this are not trying to be a troll. They really have learned A lesson and want to help you by sharing.

This is pretty much a non-problem for us anymore. We use nomad (www.nomadproject.io) as a distributed process manager(and scheduler), it also does lots and lots of other cool things as well, but it also happens to handle this use case, as a sort of side-effect of what it does.
Some pharmacies already compare the prices, actually, and when the drug is cheaper than your copay, you just pay the lower amount. At least the pharmacies I've been to in Indiana were like that (CVS mostly, but sometimes Walgreen's).

I do. We have compilers that can verify seemingly perfectly (as far as we can tell) that a program won't do something silly like reference memory it doesn't own or try to use memory after freeing it (and not just languages like Rust, but any language that doesn't make you allocate and free memory). The best C programmer out there will still make mistakes because it's simply impossible to ensure that large programs won't do something they shouldn't. It boggles my mind that programmers seem to love better tooling and better abstractions, but when it comes to a certain class of languages, everything stopped improving in the 1970s with the PDP-11 and we just can't get past it.
Florida's a pretty good candidate for solar as well. If tidal power ever takes off beyond proof of concept level, Florida (with its position near the Gulf Stream) is in a really good place for that, too.

There are definitely places which probably could never be 100% renewable, which is why transmission, storage, and grid management technology are important too.
That would be low if we were considering a long-term key. It seems fine for a one-shot authentication token? Eve is going to have to MitM a lot of calls before she guesses this token correctly.
Ha, Reducers is a good term, considering: the goals of Red (reducing complexity being one), the small size of Red (and REBOL) programs that get non-trivial things done, and finally the size of the software itself (the interpreter - and also compiler in the case of Red). Even the small EXE sizes, in fact (though I've only created EXEs for small programs so far, with it).
While I respect the process involved in putting so many moving parts together, sometimes I wonder why we have to complicate these things so much.

From my reading of the flow chart, it appears that data jumps through 5 different data layers before it gets written in its final destination. This doesn't appear to be a transformation pipeline, that's just how much it takes to go from user input -> saved in indexed storage.

What unique featureset does WePay provide that justifies this type of complication?

As an industry, there's been an explosion of this massive overcomplication the last few years. We're contorting ourselves pretty bad here, and it seems primarily to be in service of the engineer's desire to, well, engineer. Can you imagine if we let road engineers get away with this kind of stuff?

Yeah, the latter is important, but health care is really, really important. It's the reason our new POTUS was elected, according to the post-mortums I've seen.

The only way to lose your retirement savings in a crash like 2008 is to follow a maximally wrong investment strategy like cashing out the whole thing at the bottom of the market.

I didn't blame anyone. Just pointing out that comparison is not really that outrageous and terrifying, mostly because it builds a straw-man out of what feudalism was about.

If you believe kings and lords were going around sleeping with brides everywhere on their first night, yes, I can see why a lot of things would send shivers down your spine.
Something that I always wonder about, as we move towards self-driving vehicles being common, and electric vehicles being used more - is what is going to happen to the off-road sport community.

Right now, there aren't any "real" electric off-road vehicles (at least available to consumers). There's a handful of SUVs, certainly, and most electric vehicles are all-wheel drive - but no one would seriously think you could take one of these, lift it 6 inches, drop some 35's under it, and go off exploring Moab.

I'm sure that there are some people experimenting with more capable off-road electric vehicles (if nothing else, taking a Jeep or something and putting in place an electric motor and batteries might be a start), but right now battery technology just isn't there for real electric off-road use (the rest of the technology certainly is, though - if the battery tech can catch up, it might be a renaissance for off-roading due to the tech alone).

What I would hope or like to see would be an autonomous electric off-road vehicle that could drive itself to where you want to go, then allow you to "take over" to drive out in the "back 40" area (or whatnot). Perhaps it could have traction and steering assist, plus other methods to keep you safe (or allow you to turn off all of that to let you go at it by the seat of your pants if you want). It could even (perhaps) have a "training mode" where it could help teach you how to handle off-road conditions. Or - for those that want the "off-road" experience but not the effort, just tell it where to go, and it follows a trail using GPS and such to get you there. Once there, charge the car from solar/wind and/or a portable generator.

Regardless - all of this is not really talked about, but I do wonder what the effect on such activities will be, both in the short and long terms.
Because advertising is about perception. If I see chase ads every day will remember them in 6 months when I suddenly realize I need a new credit card - today I'm happy with my card selection and no amount of advertising will get a bite from me, but when that changes I might change to a "lesser" card just because I didn't think to check chase out.

thus they need numbers over months before they can state it worked.

Existing car infrastructure is much denser, and in many areas provides direct door-to-door travel.

If I want to travel from Coventry to Cambridge [1] departing at noon today, it would take 1h50m by car but 2h26m by train, because the train journey follows a V shaped path through London.

And that's assuming my travel was literally from train station door to train station door. If I want to travel from Warwick University's maths department to Cambridge University's maths department, the travel time by car is 1h56m while the time by public transport is 3h39m with five changes.

Of course, if one was going to London the heavy traffic, poor parking and high public transit density would reduce the benefits of driving.

If what you have in mind is some sort of switched rail network, built as densely as our current road network is, and with vehicle spacing as close as our road network allows, I agree that autonomous cars and that would be pretty similar.

Copyleft licensing is permissive licensing with additional conditions. Larry Rosen made this point with his Academic Free License and Open Software License. They're the same form, with just one difference, in 1(c). That difference turns the AFL, a permissive license, into the OSL, a copyleft license.

Copyleft license conditions beg interpretive questions about what actions trigger copyleft requirements and what actions satisfy those requirements. Common copyleft licenses differ in their triggers and requirements, as well as how they express them in the legal text.
I have used it for years, not religiously but often enough. I guess that with time you start tweaking it to your particular needs. When I was studying 25 minutes was the perfect length of interval while research and write a paper. At work, doing creative work (development/design/UX/...) I found that 25 mins. was too short and it would actually break my focus, thus I changed it to 60/10 min.

Nowadays I use an app called Forest, it provides an element of encouragement of how many trees have I planted and how can I get other trees :-D
I would be really interested in someone elaborating on this idea "phd is an apprenticeship for researchers".

Several people have insisted that I should go into a phd program, but when I looked into it I saw a lot of: learn how to do grant applications, publish this non-reproducible and barely significant result just so you have something published, work on a phd adviser's bad idea so he can take the credit, etc.

If you're working on an idea no one has had before, what kinds of support can others give you and do modern phd programs give that support?
The assignments are often (even typically) crafted to be straightforward but require significant amounts of time to complete, and often graded more for diligence than understanding. Exams are sometimes more about flattering the grader or following a fixed procedure than developing an interesting argument and defending it well or solving novel difficult problems. Add course attendance and participation on top, and what you get is grades that generally correlate more to time spent than to competence per se.

Obviously someone clever can figure out how to get away with putting in less effort than the average student while still scoring well, but that’s more about learning to play the school game than learning how to think according to the methods of inquiry whatever field is ostensibly being studied.

It makes sense that school takes this form: instructor time is much more scalable to many students when assignments and exams are simple and uniform. Mentoring students who are working on real research problems takes much more time and effort.
Those design changes from 2009-2011 happened before American AP1000 construction began in March 2013. The bankruptcy filing doesn't mention anything about the Chinese projects driving bankruptcy. It's due to problems at the American sites. Those problems occurred after construction began with finalized designs. If the design revisions that finished in 2011 mandated significantly higher complexity, higher costs, or longer schedules, then the cost/schedule estimates should have been updated before March 2013 and communicated to the utilities. Not modified reactively, repeatedly after the fact, as milestones kept getting missed.

That is the relationship... "contains". There are many other examples in English of that relationship in NN compounds, and I guarantee you use them unconsciously without a second thought. You are also not getting my point, please reread my last post.

> Bottom line: "ice tea" is ambiguous. "Iced tea" is not.

This is how I know you and others in this thread have not spent a lot of time thinking about language. When has ambiguity ever prevented humans from using and understanding language? If you look at any piece of writing deeply, it is filled with an unimaginable amount of nuanced ambiguity. That's exactly why NLP is so hard.
I think Google Drive's new features (Team Drives & File Stream) are going to win at least some of this market, too.

As I and other have mentioned before, the easiest way to fix this would be to permit re-importing drugs that were manufactured within the US.
