My memory is hazy but the abstract suggests this is the one I read before:

The good thing about SCOOP particularly is there was a lot of CompSci work improving on it in many ways. Most of the safer, concurrency models didn't get such attention. Example:

I'm actually surprised the numbers aren't a lot higher.

The bike path I ride to work goes through the local university and is split into three parts: one for walking, and two cycling (one for each direction). They're clearly marked, and it gets enough traffic that most people make sure to use the correct lane.

Almost every day, though, I ride past at least one person walking in the cycling lanes, headphones on, eyes glued to their phone, not paying any attention whatsoever to where they're going. Worse still, I've seen cyclists on their phones, riding down the walk lane, or the wrong way in one of the cycle lanes.
I use it as an obvious visual indication of whether or not I'm logged in. Usually it’s because I’m not using my primary browser, which means I should be testing something but instead ended up on hacker news… somehow. Good reminder to get back to work.

Very true. While the advancement in the specific technology related to aviation this brings is significant, research in this area does not get disseminated to other areas in the same way that money going to funding other types of research would.
They "improved" it. It is now only available on Pixel devices (because it needs a driver support).

> everyone had to take their computers home every night - nothing to steal. Everything was Cloud

That is scary if you believe that.. That nothing can be stolen because it is in "the cloud"... I am sure there are a few Celebs that will tell you in graphic detail how wrong you are.

>Not having to pay for any on-site sysadmin definetly saved the company money

Likely compromising Security, backups, and a few other things as you depend on "the cloud" to provide these things

I am sure the customers at CodeSpaces ( http://www.networkcomputing.com/cloud-infrastructure/code-sp... ) thought their data was secure in the "cloud" as well

I bet you claim that will nto happen to you because you only use "the largest providers" like AWS or Dropbox....

Far to often I see companies moving their entire operations to "the cloud" with no planning for Off-Boarding, Data Backups, or anything, they just assume "its the cloud so everything is perfect, cheap, secure and we need no neckbeard admins"

That is a scary scary trend. SaaS can be a good tool, when used right. It can also be the end of the organization when done wrong...
Clearly the solution is 50mph speed limits. Tough on crime tactics should also encourage pedestrians to pay more attention and if they do get hit darwinism solves the problem.

Though to comment more seriously. I'm sick of everyone's knee-jerk reaction of "lower speed limits". As if that makes it OK for pedestrians and cars to interact.

The correct approach to safety is better design. Ideally provide cars and pedestrians completely isolated levels and/or venues of travel. A stopgap might be the installation of 'splash guards' and covered awning style sidewalks that provide an increased physical barrier, more as a mutual reminder that crossing the line is a bad idea. Once you've done that, it should also be possible to provide some kind of barrier at crosswalk portals.

> For example, sometimes I would take a medicament mechanically while doing something else and just a few minutes later, forget if I took it or not.

I had a similar problem with locking the office door. I would always question whether I had done it or not since I was on autopilot and not thinking at the end of the day. What finally 'solved' the problem was when I got the other lock on the same door fixed. All of the sudden I had to lock two locks and not one. The act of having to pull out another key and lock that 2nd lock solved the problem for me. My feeling was adding complexity even in a small way was enough to jar me out of autopilot for the task.

I solved the medication issue the same way by announcing I was taking it. (Later I settled for one of those pill containers..)

I see nothing wrong with a manager who is technical but can't take a deep dive into the code.

A manager's role could be to decide strategy, priorities, budgets, inter team communications, working with the customer etc. the biggest thing I want from a manager is to hire good people and to trust them with the "how". My manager decides the "what" and "when". He leaves it up to his team to decide the how.
Not all C*R functions are linear list access. I guess both those and FIRST, SECOND, etc. have uses. There's no need for ideological fights about them.
More dangerous than any nuclear problems in Japan probably. But yes, probably on par with the others you mentioned. Varies a bit from year to year.
I wonder who doesn't regret cancelling the F-22. At least that airplane has the advantage of raw performance even if you take away its more high-tech features. An air force general once warned that "without the f-22 the f-35 will be irrelevant".
Is this how libertarians actually think?

Seeing this written here was pretty hilarious to me, I'm not sure if you're aware of this, but one of the central parts of the TPP was exactly the point you're making: To expand tighter labor and environmental laws into places like Vietnam so American workers aren't competing against foreign workers whose government is willing to destroy their health and environment to undercut them in price.

The expansion of American copyright laws that the EFF is so against, is mainly there since selling America IP ( both cultural and intellectual) to foreign customers is one of the biggest sources of export income for American corporations and thus a big source of wages for their American employees. You of course can't sell a Disney DVD or a software solution to someone in Vietnam if it's legal for them to just copy it whenever they want.
I will try to give a very short answer to that one.

A given situation is undefined in C because out of some 42 assembly languages, the analogous situation doesn't work on at least one of them, or it works in all of them, but not in the same way.

E.g. a shift by more than the width of he operand type might work "modulo" in one assembly language (<< 33 means << 1) because the low 5 bits of the shift are used. In another it might produce a zero result (all bit are shifted into the bucket).

Oh dear, how do we document the requirement for C? Why, we allow both possibilities. No wait, that would be too good. Let's allow both possibilities, and demons to fly out of the programmer's or user's nose.

Proprietary drivers just don't make sense. They are practically unmaintainable.
I am absolutely amazed by how many people have such a strong sentimental attachment to Pluto. Forget about the clearing orbit requirement, even though this article puts up very fallacious arguments, and instead considered that Pluto is smaller than Mercury. Pluto is smaller than our moon. Pluto is not even as wide as Asia. Pluto and Charon orbit a point outside Pluto's surface.

Oh, and then there's the thousands of Kupier Belt objects larger than Pluto.

Be true to something so Frozen, and let it go.
I think the thesis is that most cutting-edge work is siloed in R&D departments of big players. OpenAI hopes to ensure the power of AI will be out there for any kind of organization to benefit from. Under the assumption that a more democratized AI capability is less likely to lead to an adverse outcome than a highly concentrated one.

I'm not sure I buy it, but that's what I think it is.
> When Lockheed Martin first won the contract 17 years ago, the F-35 was expected to begin operational testing in 2008. Once they failed to meet that, 2017 was supposed to be the big year for the start of the combat testing process. We now know that this process will almost certainly be delayed until 2019…and possibly 2020.

Wow. I did not realize it had been in development for so long.

> The scale of the challenge yet remaining with the F-35 is easily quantified in this year’s DOT&E analysis. According to the report, the F-35 still has 276 “Critical to Correct” deficiencies—these must be fixed before the development process ends because they could “lead to operational mission failures during IOT&E or combat.” Of the 276, 72 were listed as “priority 1,” which are service-critical flaws that would prevent the services from fielding the jets until they are fixed.

I'm not an expert on designing fighter jets, but that sounds bad.

> The problem is bad enough that Lt. Gen. Bogdan has admitted the F-35C will need an entirely redesigned outer wing.

Will someone more knowledgeable tell me just how bad this is? I do know a bit about defense contractors and missiles (I worked at a defense contractor for a hot minute as an engineer), but this just sounds like a clusterfuck of epic proportions. The cynic in me believes the congressional-military-industrial complex has run wild in order to maintain cash flow.
From this description I wouldn't buy this book. It is focusing on a bunch of minor issues rather than the main problem. Biomed researchers only come up with vague "A makes B go up/down" hypotheses. This is not because biology is more complicated than physics. It is 100% a culture and training issue.

I think it's unlikely that members skeptical of the institution itself would have much influence.

I think the Leavers were dissatisfied from the beginning. You can directly trace the formation of UKIP from the Maastricht Rebels. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maastricht_Rebels in the Major government.

UKIP was formed out of protest at what they saw as the EU going off in a highly political direction (i.e. becoming a lot more than just an economic area).

They may be wrong but the objections are based on fundamentals.
Indeed.

I want the federal government to declare "war" on Detroit, Cleveland, Cincinnati and other poverty stricken areas. Maybe then these impoverished areas might get some infrastructure improvements which will generate jobs in the short term and help attract businesses in the medium-long term.

Why did it take almost a whole year to get $170m (or just one F-35) to the people of Flint? Why is a military toy built to fight a fictional war against nobody more important than actual people who are suffering?

The US will happily declare war on Iraq and spend $1.7 trillion, but just the thought of spending a dime within the country turns everyone's stomachs! We need to declare war on poverty, we need to declare war on collapsing infrastructure, we need to declare war on lack of public transport, and we need to declare war on shitty internet stifling the country's competitiveness.

This is all GDP generating. Every dollar we spend on infrastructure provides almost twice that in GDP. What is the F-35's rate of return?
Clear, "simple" control of the network stack and connectivity. The ability to start up totally off-line until manually establishing the desired connection. Network connectivity that can be made dependent upon having a working VPN connection up, and that dies completely upon failure of that connection. Everything can clearly be made to go through the VPN connection, DNS, etc. IPv6 can be turned off if needed (e.g. for Comcast). A single, if widget-filled and "busy", dialog box for managing this connectivity.

I realize a lot of this isn't strictly under Ubuntu's purview, but you said "anything".

I want not just to manually manage my own connectivity, at the terminal (and even then, the "die completely upon VPN failure" is not straightforward"), but for my family members, etc., to be able to do so, themselves.

> There's a choice to be made, either Pluto, Eris, Haumea, Makemake and Ceres are all planets or none of them are.

This is half true. We don't strictly need a clear definition of a natural phenomena. Just look at the trouble we are having defining life. In fact, it might prove to be impossible to derive a solid definition. Yet most of us agree that all animals are living organisms, but fire isn't.

In my view Pluto, Eris, Haumea, Makemake, etc. are all planets. Just because they fit my idea of what a planet is. I am less keen on grouping Ceres with them (but the reason is that I was raised knowing that it was an asteroid, so I am willing to reconsider). If voyager 1 stumbles upon an earth size spherical body in (say) 50 years, I will want to consider it a (rouge) planet, even though it is missing some criteria for the current definition. We can indeed call Pluto a planet and Ceres an asteroid. That is only consistent with how we treat most other categories of natural phenomena.
I personally wouldn't rush to shut down existing, well run nuclear plants, but don't see a poliferation of current nuclear designs as feasible and the timeline is too short to wait until new models are proven.

In the meantime, solar, wind, efficiency, demand response, a carbon tax, insulation, time of use pricing and a variety of other proven tech could solve the issue if there was the political will to do so.

Is there any picture that can provide some intuition about intrinsic spin? To me it seems kind of tempting to think about it as charge, even though not a scalar one. But the connection with orbital angular momentum seems to somewhat ruin simply thinking about it as a charge.
Cute. However, unless you're using a CPU from the 6502 era, it's probably not worth the trouble for multiplication and division. Today's low-end CPUs have good multiply hardware, and for a few dollars more, you get a decent FPU. Trig functions, though, may be worth precomputing. The standard libraries for trig functions often grind their way out to far more precision than you need for graphics or control, and that takes time. Interpolating from a modest sized table can be faster.

The F35 is keeping far more people employed. That is its main purpose and it has been a resounding success. Its entire procurement process was designed to make it resistant to cancellation by farming everything out to a broad base of constituencies. It is now safely past that hurdle and can do its job as a money machine.
Why are you amazed?

These sort of taxonomical debates are exceedingly coming in biology (eg "is this a new species or just another variant?", "how many base pair differences are required to be a species?", Etc).

Taxonomy for planets and other celestial bodies is increasingly important as we discover more and more exoplanets. And it turns out that writing a good definition is hard... especially when we have so few exemplars in our own solar system.
