As a side note, and JFYI, in a number of structures (designed for it) rebar can be partially or totally replaced by steel (or other high strength material) fibers.

More or less the whole idea of concrete stuctures is to use a composite material where the steel (rebar) is used for traction (and shear) and the concrete for compression resistance. (as opposed to other materials such as wood that has resistance to both traction and compression (besides shear) forces.

A fiber-reinforced concrete can (as said in some cases) be considered a form of reinforced (rebar) concrete at a smaller scale and with "fuzzy" (or "diffused") distribution of the reinforcement.

Domes and similar "thin" structures are very suitable for being made with fiber reinforced concrete.
I wasn't defending what happened, was rather reporting their reasoning for the curious. In Turkey justice has become synonymous with Erdogan's and his party's interests unfortunately.

In the case of western Europe, we should care because we don't have internal OR external border controls, and Turkey is a neighboring country with a lot of refugees to dump on us.

I wish I understood why there isn't a move to reinstate border checks in the Schengen area.

It seems ludicrous to me to keep internal borders open when it is clear that the external borders have failed.

Just to give you one answer, at least in the United States, a not insignificant number of people read or watch RT.com, and -- this is really terrible, but it's true -- they aren't aware that "RT" stands for "Russia Today" and is basically a pro-Russian news outlet. I'm not sure how you folks view Russia Today, but at least in the United States, people that know that "RT" == "Russia Today" consider it very pro-Russian, almost propaganda. People that don't know that it's a Russian news source generally just consider RT like most other news sources in the United States. I've got friends on Facebook that post RT links like they post CNN links or something and they're completely unaware of its origin.

Why the "pods"? Wouldn't it make more sense for self-driving electric vehicles (which can safely maintain separations from other traffic and travel at high speed on a narrow track) to use their own propulsion?

Apparently the concept behind The Boring Company is to reduce the cost of tunnelling, but surely the "pods" would add a great deal of cost to this system.
I don't see any evidence that shows that costs can be cheaper than consequences (or that there will be any consequences).

"The West" is not exclusively the US. Plenty of countries pay attention to global politics without "spending billions of dollars fighting wars, shedding lots of their own blood", it's not fair to lump them in with us.

It is possible to care and act WITHOUT overcommitting. Or at least, it is for countries who do not have a schizophrenic model wherein both sides are pushing against each other as hard as they can and so overcommit to everything including an astronomical defense budget.
And that is indeed what it's always been about, back to the days of Margaret Thatcher, when the British government first incentivized researchers to produce evidence showing carbon caused global warming, and not the reverse[1]. It's always been about taking out Thatcher's political enemies in the fossil fuel industry.

AGW is a terrific example of how political campaigns can go viral and become their own self-sustaining anti-fill-in-the-blank movements, given the right mix of ingredients.

For those of you not familiar with BBC Radio 3, it is a mostly classical music station, but also features world music, jazz and arts coverage.

More info on this project:

"This pilot offers Radio 3 in the highest possible audio quality so that our audience experiences our output exactly as it left the studio."

"For the duration of the pilot we are providing a simulcast of Radio 3's live output compressed using FLAC, so it sounds every bit (no pun intended!) as good as when it left us."

"Because the specification for how to do this is so new, only Firefox (51 or greater) on desktop is able to play our stream"

"Note that you’ll need a decent broadband connection – we’d recommend at least 2mbps to avoid buffering."

Damn right. If the people in charge could stop trying to exercise power and just leave everybody alone, we'd all be much better off.
So did I. The point of my comment was that you can avoid street food and eat at classier restaurants (or fast food outlets, or whatever) if you're so inclined. Me and a friend avoided street food during a month of travelling in India, and never had any stomach problems.

(Your gut fauna also adapts over time, which is why the locals don't get sick so often).

> because regulations hinder innovation or whatever

How did you get this from my comment? I said that in the case of food, regulations remove cheap options, and remove job opportunities.

To make it concrete: consider a low-income Western neighbourhood. Joe is a young single guy in his 20s working a low-wage job. He's tired after work and doesn't like to cook, but can't afford to eat out. Sally is a grandmother, in her late 50s, and needs a source of income that isn't too demanding. In an Asian country the Sallies could set up fried rice or noodle stalls selling cheap meals to the Joes, for the equivalent of a dollar or two. They've set up a mutual trade for mutual advantage, and they're both better off.

In a Western country Joe and Sally are banned from making this trade, ostensibly to protect Joe's interests. If Joe wants cheap food, his only option is to go to McDonald's, where they've made everything hyper-efficient and standardised to provide cheap food, while meeting minimum wage laws, hygiene regulations, and so on.

(Sometimes Westerners do make this trade. On my UK university campus, some local Indian stay-at-home mothers would cook up extra food and deliver meals to students for £2 ($3) a pop. They were breaking a ton of laws, of course).

Imagine the Turkish coup was organized and executed properly and they succeeded.

I'm a little disappointed that after so much effort to cut bloat in the JRE, a simple 'Hello World' program still requires 13.2 MB.
What about those deaths caused today from planned society mismanagement? The poor and other workers who die from a mode of production which every government upholds religiously - capitalism. If you will make the argument that Stalin is responsible for the deaths of these hundred million, then you must also hold every country of the world accountable for a much larger number of deaths that's still happening to this day.
Because there's a country with 70 million people on the brink of a civil war right on our doorstep?
it's somehow OK in context of holding up a commercial aircraft

I do not agree that business must have priority, and while I recognise the practical nature of the universe in which we live, I do not subscribe to the axiom that the needs of the many inherently outweigh the needs of the few.

I suspect our differences are simply axiomatic.

They also tend to count in context of litigation

Litigation is all about trying to make things better after something bad happened. We can never make things right because we cannot change the past, so litigation is not a solution; it's mitigation. I subscribe to the idea that it is better for that bad thing not to have happened. On a personal note, I suspect (but cannot prove) that the doctrine of letting people do bad things because we can litigate later is corrosive to society.
> Turkey is nothing like the common stereotypes we have of it in the West

From what I see, there are two Turkeys - the liberal Turkey which resides in cities like Izmir and the conservative ones which come from places like Bursa or Gaziantep. Currently, there are fewer liberal Turks than the conservative ones.

> People in the West need to wake up and do their due diligence on Erdogan's regime

On this point, I've always found it amazing how most of my American friends/colleagues have little idea about what's happening outside the USA. I get that most news is local and all that but sometimes there are impactful events around the world which would be difficult to miss. Most times, they haven't even heard about the event let alone know about it.
1. It is estimated that nearly 10 million elk lived in North America prior to 1500 and were reduced to less than 100,000 by 1907.

2. Elk/deer eat underbrush. When an an animal tramps/eats most species of native plants, the hardier strains seem to evolve. Same vegation, but hardier. (Botany 101 from a angry older PhD from Sonoma State whos biggest gripes were ecologists who were too vigilant of people who claimed walking off trail, ruined native species of plants, hated Monsanto, and was concerned about Global warming. He was shocked our oceans were 1 degree warmer years ago. He said just wait people?).

I can't find where they desimated a native plants, but I might be missing some species? The are an important part of the ecosystem. Where are they causing problems?

3. Hunters seem to have put a dent in any heard overpopulation? Especially, deer? The exception might be a few federal/state parks where hunting is completely illegial?

4. I'm glad Wolves are making a come back though. I think overdevelopment/pollution are where fingers should be pointed?

>(with the exception of trespassing on private property, of course).

This ought to be removed too, along with the whole concept of property.
Real people rarely want war, they all want the same basic things: food and shelter, a good future for their kids, and to live in peace. This is universal over the whole world, unless they've had their minds poisoned by leaders with their own agendas, be it political or religious.

However, most people also don't really care that much about other people, especially in other countries. So they elect people to handle that for them, and then believe what they're told. Mark Twain's quote "Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness" seems fitting. With modern tech you can communicate with people all over the world without traveling (I'm in my underwear in Sweden right now for instance), which helps widening the gap between the "liberal elite" and the rest who feel left behind or that their country is taken away from them.

One thing that contradicts that in a way is the fact that a majority of the expat Turks living in Europe voted for the new referendum giving Erdogan much more power. More than 63% voted yes in Germany for instance.

They can. Revolution is an option too. "Decisions" do not begin and end with a paper ballot; ultimately, everyone is human and can be ousted from power or killed by an angry mob.

"The army" that would defend him are countrymen; the wealthy who help maintain the status quo are a much wider group of individuals whose interests can be led to differ from his own.

That said, I do not think it should have to come to violence. If "the 49%" are steadfast and "the 51%" are beginning to doubt, calls could be organized for another referendum or neutral third party arbitration or such. The EU or UN would at minimum have something to justify a closer look. Though I haven't been following this too closely, so maybe it's too late idk.

That's the idea, but in practice GA4GH is still working on the API's and protocols to make this work in an automated and containerised fashion for modern genetic data. We do often send the algorithm to the data but mostly by way of granting an account to collaborators and them sshing into a remote cluster because copying 120 terabyte datasets is no fun.
Not if you do it right.
Where is the advantage to the tried and tested metro? Transporting individual vehicles instead of people is much more complex, costly and will require more maintenance.
It's an issue that needs resources and priorities assigned to it, and in a democracy that means there must be some agreed upon basis for which to act, or the action is not taken. Worse, we switch action for anti-action every election cycle

> * Immigrants will be a drain on public finances

This is interesting because it's easily proven wrong. Usually immigrants are a net contributor to public finances, and moreso than “non-immigrants”. I believe that's because immigration policy is very selective so you mostly get able-bodied younger workers coming in, whereas the general population contains proportionally more children, elderly, sick people, etc.

Though I believe this also holds even for non-selective immigration (e.g. intra-EU, undocumented immigration from Mexico to the US) within certain parameters (probably not true for, say, refugees).
I've not been following it that closely; that was my understanding of the kind of thing they were aiming for, and which we'd like to reduce the footprint of our Java images. If the modules are too tightly coupled for it to make any difference that will be a little disappointing.
I believe you're on to something, and there is a technical solution here. (Mainly I believe that because it's something I've been saying for years <g>)

Here in the states, the NSA was allowed to view data on telephone calls 3 or 4 levels out from a terrorist. So, for instance, if a terrorist called A, and A called B, and B called C, and so on? The NSA could track C or D.

The argument against that is that it would cover something like 80 or 90% of the population.

Well, there you go. Assume one trillion connected devices and each device is accessible through a "path" of connected devices over 4 or 5 hops, with a percentage_success and average_network_lag time tracked for each path.

Add in a few GB of buffering and the requirement that every connected device use up 10-20% of its bandwidth on public, anonymous access, and you've got a mesh system that's decentralized.

The only other limit I'd add is probably some kind of rules to prevent DDOSing, say a 64Kb message size and a few other things like that.

It's just a math problem.
>> so device walled gardening has nothing to do with information access generally.

I disagree, on iOS specifically you have no practical way to install/sideload your own applications and thus what you can and can not do is wholly controlled by Apple. Applications determine what parts of the Internet you can actually use.

My impression of "Fake News" is that it is a new push for political correctness and censorship in news publications, while it does not improve things like the quality, transparancy and trustworthiness of sources and references of news.

It could also be interpreted as a push for platform control; if you want to influence people using our platform, fucking pay for it!
The problem is this treats the government as a single entity with a uniform will: yes, if you do that, then the government is merely failing to act rather than deliberately censoring anything.

However the government isnt a single entity, it is many smaller kingdoms. And The King is censoring one of his princes internally: preventing the EPA from releasing data it would like to.

Illegal mining was the most common way of mining coal in Ukraine, and probably was the main reason behind strife there. So illegal mining boom which is a lot more hazardous and a lot more dangerous for miners is very likely if normal one is banned.

You don't solve these problems as easily. To really fix it, a way to produce minerals in economically safe and preferably, sustainable way (like, filtering out of ocean water) is needed.
