As much as China has a dominant ethnicity, this is only really true in the eastern, core parts of China. In the Northern and Western fringes, plus Tibet, there's entirely unrelated groups of people who, at times, want nothing to do with Beijing.

There are countries with more ethnic cohesion, though they tend to be smaller: Iceland for example. Any larger country either came about by annexing smaller ones, or was sufficiently valuable enough that it was colonized at some point.
Nit: The energy of an object going 2,000 m/s is 1/16th of that going 8,000 m/s, but since this is a rocket launching from Earth the energy for the rocket to get to 2,000 m/s is much greater than the energy to go from 2,000 m/s to 8,000 m/s [1].

Just look at how much larger the first stage (mass almost all propellant) is compared to the second stage (large fraction of the mass is the payload).

I think they do indeed a lot of good - however, launching a classified military spy satellite is not one of it, in my opinion.
Maybe that's the case, then? I just googled the comparison and that site I linked came up.

So, I recently saw a study claiming that memory management-related issues constituted 25% of attacks, the rest was other vectors. I may be misremembering, but in any case, simply getting rid of memory faults does not get rid of all attack vectors.

Given this, I wonder if the (seemingly) added complexity of Rust could result in more attack surfaces of other kinds.

I don't know anything about Rust mind you.

I think anything with an i5 or i7 in the name has the ME onchip. My spare Thinkpad certainly does & it’s four or five years old at this point in time. I turned the ME off in the bios the moment I acquired it, but I doubt Lenovo will be issuing any bios updates for it.
If they are calling from California, they are covered by the 2-party consent state law. It's very easy to get accused of wiretapping under these laws, so watch out.

i am working on a twitter bot to collect coffee habits for developers. Here is a rough working principle.
First hashtag after #tslc is command to be parsed and executed. args are unix cmd like ie -c for coffee type -t for
time duration like 10d 10h 10m 10s
Example
if you had the best latte in town 10 minutes ago,
#tslc #had -c #best latte in town -t 10m

list all those who had latte (time arg is optional here)
#tscl #whohad -c latte

in retweet you get
@paulG espresso, @user best latte in town, @user2 capuccino

How quickly we forget... Youtube would have gone bankrupt if Google hadn't purchased them. The company was derided for the purchase and YT bled money for several years before it was made profitable. Maybe someone else would have come along and built the copyright detection algorithms, advertising platform, edge caching solutions, and so on, but the list of companies that could possibly do that was incredibly short at the time.

You're probably right.

I still hope it's true, and that it's catastrophic for Intel. No change can happen otherwise.

If Intel aren't fighting against 5eyes then they aren't taking security seriously.
>> A home lying empty has a negative return (due to maintenance and operating costs, still have to water lawns, repair weather damage, etc). A home being rented has a higher return. There is simply no reason from an investors perspective to leave a home empty unless you can't find a renter who will cover their costs, or you are trying to sell it.

Maybe it depends on WHERE the property is. Your perspective doesn't ring true with e.g. a flat in a major city (London for example). No lawns to take care of our weather damage to deal with. Really very little to zero maintenance. Rent it and you have lots of laws to comply with, agencies to deal with, appliances and furniture to install, and when things break you pay for them. Also, renters are going to create a lot of wear and tear and their deposit is unlikely to cover it (and with laws around deposits every penny needs to be accounted for which isn't easy with general wear and tear).
That must be a different Aurora. The one mentioned here was never really released, only demo'd at Strange Loop. We subsequently went on to turn that into Eve[1].

Karr Lab (http://www.karrlab.org) @ Mount Sinai Medical School | New York, NY 10029 | Research Associate, Postdoctoral Fellow, or Software engineer | Full-Time | ONSITE | $60-70k

The Karr Lab at the Institute for Genomics & Multiscale Biology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai is seeking a talented, ambitious scientists and engineers to develop technology for building, simulating, and applying cutting-edge whole-cell computational models of individual cells.

We are developing whole-cell computational models which comprehensively predict how behavior emerges from the molecular level by representing all of the biochemical activity inside cells. Our goal is to use whole-cell models to transform bioengineering and medicine into rigorous, quantitative disciplines. Our work is highly interdisciplinary, involving systems biology, genomics, bioinformatics, data integration, parallel simulation, optimization, software engineering, and data visualization, and highly team-oriented.

We are looking for scientists and engineers to help develop several technologies, including a domain-specific language for describing whole-cell models, a parallel multi-algorithmic simulator, scalable tools for visualizing and analyzing high-dimensional simulation results, and tools for handling personal `omics data.

You see the same in virtually any physics department (I'm not aware of a similar trend in other STEM subjects, but presumably). Everyone uses a mixture of Linux and OS X. At the start of my PhD, the question wasn't "What laptop do you want?" it was "Do you want a Macbook or an iMac?"
Even without any newly discovered backdoor. The Intel ME was always a fuing security issue. A BACKDOOR. It is completely naive to think the NSA can't use the ME to get access to anything, but hey it needs another Snowden for people to listen again.

From the perspective of an everyday user these things came out of nowhere to evolve into this para-computer running along side me that I cannot see and have no control of. It is on literally ALL hardware

Why is it that any attempts to disable it knock your whole computer out?

Hi, I never received a letter..

could you please check for me? :(
I think, it depends on how you use Python.

1. "Executable pseudocode", almost a toy language to explain few algorithms in your article.

2. Sysadmin tool. Replacement for shell, a way to write quick throwaway scripts.

3. "A modern Lisp". Universal language for implementing AI algorithms, DSLs etc.

I, personally, use 3rd variant. I write quite big programs in Python, for example I made few compilers in it. That's why code quality is important for me here.
> Damn, that is hard to hear. Is it because you don't think the project is good enough? Will you get to a point where you don't delete your projects?

It not so much that, I have enough time to work them into perfection, but there is no use for them after completion. It's not like when an employer request some work to be done that is going to be used afterwards, it's just me trying to make op some project ideas.
Great comment:

I look ok -- I can walk ok -- but only for about 50 yards before I fatigue. And it gets worse when the weather is hot. I too have MS. When people see me limping they assume I have a sporting injury!

Getaway (http://getaway.house) | Full Stack Developer | Brooklyn, NY | ONSITE/Remote considered/Full time

If you’re reading this job description, you’re probably someone that spends a lot of time on the computer and the internet. Although we leverage these tools like any other business does, our our product seeks to physically take our customers away from these things in an effort to find the magic and relaxation they’ve so desperately been seeking. We’re putting tiny houses on camp sites in remote locations so our “users” can get away and set up a high-speed interface with their humanity. We create and maintain technology that, in some cases invisibly, enables a mystical experience for our guests and removes stress from their lives.

Getaway is a small but rapidly growing team that just raised a $15M Series A financing round. Our offices our located in Downtown Brooklyn but we are open to remote candidates that can visit our offices at least twice a month.

The Full Stack Developer will focus on the following areas:
- Building new features for and maintaining the current functionality of our website, written with a React/SASS front end and Ruby on Rails back end, in an Agile working environment
- Some minor developer operations tasks ensuring the website is serving our customers well and performing to our expectations - we’re hosted currently on Heroku
- Supporting the cabin automation effort, working on software to make the guest experience seamless and magical - currently written in Groovy and Ruby
- Writing internal tools to support our Guest Experience team and make it extremely easy for guests to get the things they need to have a wonderful time on their Getaways
- Continuing to find efficiencies and ways to leverage software to improve our team’s workflows and the way we do business
- Occasionally writing code in front of a fire, if you so desire (for real)

We’re looking for someone with around 2 years of experience but don’t want anyone to shy away from applying if they think they’re a real “rockstar/ninja/etc”. This is not a junior development role and those straight out of school or bootcamp need not apply, unfortunately we just don’t have the resources to support such a candidate at this time.

Feel free to reach out to me directly at zach (at) getaway (dot) house about this role!
To well connect one need to focus on people they like due to their extra traits other than qualities and knowledge.

The low long term rate was only good for a long term contract.

It's unlikely they refused to provide water in the interim. This article states they made a short term offer at a 10% price hike over the existing contract:

http://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/michigan/flint-water-c...

So Flint may have choose the river to save money (or not, it appears that the new system doesn't do that), they likely weren't in a pinch to actually be able to continue providing water.
Probably the latter, it's not that big a deal.

http://www.mars-one.com/faq/health-and-ethics/how-much-radia...

The article is obviously a little biased, but still seems reasonable.

But on top of all this, to me at least, is the question of how much should be expected of the pioneers. Should they be as safe as someone who buys an airline ticket? Or should they suffer increased cancer risk, an inability to return, limited living space, and so on?

I think that it wouldn't be unreasonable to even triple the radiation dose allowed modern NASA astronauts, who are expected to retire and live long healthy lives.

We define user loyalty on Reddit based on commenting behavior, which we view as a strong proxy for latent engagement. To focus our attention on loyalty in- stead of platform-level retention, all of the following defini- tions are restricted to users who commented at least 10 times within the relevant time period.

An interesting definition of loyalty for any site. I recognize that I am unusually skewed towards being a "lurker", but consider myself loyal to two sites (this being one of them). I guess you would need visitation data to be able to better distinguish between an "active loyal user" and a "passive loyal user", relatively speaking.
