I might suggest that representing her in conflict with their institutional mission is not a good use of the EFF's resources, and replaces a conflict of interest between the EFF and Kate Wagner with a conflict of interest between the EFF and its own supporters.

I disagree with your use of the word mistakenly here. With IoT we need to worry about intentional remote attacks. This is not a mistake.

If we are not dealing with a malicious attacks then I would suspect that the second problem (system failure) is more likely.
EST is shorter than Eastern and more easily recognizable than ET, which is a more heavily overloaded acronym. I'm sure it's used by people who are aware of the technical meaning and not forgetting. There's no quick and reliable way to refer to non-EDT EST during the non-daylight months without mentioning the absence of daylight savings time or specifying the UTC offset.

> At what point can we stop encouraging that?

At no point. That's how science works. Those who are opposed will bring up the best arguments available, even if those arguments aren't new. They'll get evaluated, rebuffed, accepted, etc. That's how it's supposed to work.

Many of the ideas you currently believe in were at some point rejected and ignored, frequently for decades and sometimes centuries. Bringing stuff up again, over and over, is a good thing.

If you are so thoroughly convinced that you are right, that is the surest evidence that you're doing it wrong. Always allow for the possibility that whatever you believe may be off and can be improved, even by ideas that aren't new.
AFAIK the African slave trade is not a visible topic on Lisbon because it was a very small part of it. While Portugal trafficked millions of people across the Atlantic, very few would be sent to Europe, since the Christian faith didn't see it with good eyes, and there was much more demand for hard labor in the "new world".
I Shall Call It.. SomethingManager (2006)
I totally get the attraction of actually buying something physical, and it was fun as a kid to look through the stuff that came with an album. As is being discussed elsewhere about this article, it is similar to the difference between buying a physical book and an electronic one. I like that "new book" smell too, and I prefer reading on real paper, even though I spend all day reading on computer screens at work (and much of my time at home).

However, even as a kid, I'd probably only look through the album cover, liner notes, whatever maybe a few times, and then probably never looked at it again. I just wanted to put the music on so I could listen, and the album cover was just a means to an end. I would have traded that experience for "push a button and the album plays" in a heartbeat. There are some fond memories of artwork on the cover, etc -- and it is a valuable connection to the music -- because everyone remembers the Styx "Paradise Theatre" album cover, and connects it to the music that was on it.

"And then when you listen to an album on Vinyl, where it's practically impossible to skip forwards and backwards, you're de-facto an active participant in the whole endeavor. You enjoy the album as it's meant to be enjoyed, fully placing yourself at the mercy of the Artist who carefully constructed the order of songs."

^ a few things about this. First it really depended on the album/artist/producer who decided the order that the songs went in. For many albums it was not the artist. Producers often decided what was the "most commercially viable" and put those songs up front (or in whatever order fit their particular strategy). Some artists insisted on more control, but the record companies had a lot of power here, so I think those situations were more rare.

Second, dude, did you never pick up the needle and skip over a song? :D Didn't everyone either try to hit that tiny gap between songs to play your "favorite", or to pick up and skip one, or go back and repeat one? Of course, the "ultimate" solution was to record to cassette tape just the songs you wanted, and in whatever order you wanted them. Also, I personally don't find the lack of control of what plays in what order to be any value to me. If the music is good enough that I want to listen to the whole thing, it usually makes no difference to me what comes after what. The only exception to this might be, for those albums that are really that good that I listen to them over and over, I know which song is coming next when one finishes, so I can be prepared to sing along, or whatever. But I still see no need to give up control of the order of play just to experience this, I an just queue up the whole album on the electronic device of my choice and push 'play'.

Third, while it is true there were some artists that had an idea of an "experience" and wanted things laid out just so, I don't think most artists cared which order you listened to their songs in. In fact, musicians tend to be a lot more laid back than that. They don't care how you listen to their music, they are just happy if you are and that you get something out of it. It really depends on the artist, of course.

Nope. Microsoft was forced to discontinue its anti-competitive bundling tactics, which they otherwise would have used to throttle competition as they did with Netscape.

For that matter, Apple only exists today because of Microsoft’s investment, which was in part done only to keep their competitor alive so that they could claim not to have a complete monopoly.

Apple and Google’s products certainly were better, but they would have been crushed by anti-competitive practices if Microsoft had not already lost their antitrust case.

Not at all. I live a digital life where I automate a ridiculous amount of activity.

This is just an exercise in false progress. The average scale has an error range of 10-20 oz for a 200lb load. Automating something of little value (i.e. Daily or more frequent body measurements) doesn't make it more valuable.
Which decreases the space complexity but increases the time complexity.

For anyone interested in the idea of using blockchain-based digital currency to create a competitive currency scheme, I wrote my undergrad thesis on this topic:

http://roymurdock.com/thesis/murdockthesis-final-2.pdf

Hayek, a famous Austrian school economist, had the same idea in the 1980s - remove control of currency from central banks and governments, and give it to private institutions, having them compete against one another. Digital currency removes a lot of the technical barriers to issuing a new currency, but technical barriers are not the main barriers to adoption.
What fascinates me with this story is how low tech everything was. A simple landing page, email list/newsletter, and "value" in the form of travel deals. Anyone can do it, and the barrier of entry is minimal.
Imagine if you paid for gas by using your auto insurance card? And also used insurance to cover normal car maintenance such as brakes, tires and oil changes. Now the co-pay on a tank of gas would be about 40 bucks, and if you tried to buy gas without insurance it would cost a couple thousand to fill the tank. But the insurance companies get a discount, and only end up paying 5 dollars per tank.
Yes, and frankly it is bad history. Development of intermediate cartridges and their adoption by NATO forces had nothing to do with purposefully limiting lethality.
It's about finding a better balance between controllability at increased fire rates, combat loading, and range suitable for conflicts emerging in the 20th century.

The article isn't completely true.

The 5.56 was selected because it's significantly lighter and smaller (soldier can carry more ammunition), produces less recoil (soldier can be less trained but still effective, especially when in full-auto mode... which pertains to CQB), and is effective within the average engagement range (<600m). Most 5.56 weapons also have higher rates of fire when compared to their 7.62 brethren, which also plays a significant role in CQB effectiveness.

Regarding "stopping power"... a round from either will incapacitate most humans, and the latest generations of 5.56 can penetrate light to medium armors very effectively.

Since NATO adheres to the Geneva Conventions, firing upon medical troops is forbidden, as is deliberately wounding but not killing enemy combatants, making the author's claim even more dubious.
This is pretty silly. Less than 30% of Latinos and less than 5% of African Americans are Republicans. The balance are Democrats. The Democratic party simply can't be institutionally bigoted against those groups and survive as a party; those groups are core parts of the Democratic coalition; the Democrats in a real way simply are the Latino and African American vote.

That's all I'm saying. I am not psychoanalyzing Republicans in general. Most Republicans probably aren't racist. That's not my point.

I'm really not interested in what you think Chinese Americans think, sorry.
Indeed, the Russians also moved from AK 47 with 7.62mm to AK 74 at 5.45mm for the same reasons as Nato. The Nato reasons included other considerations such as weight and rate of fire too.

However, Nato and everyone else uses the modern smaller rounds for CQB too.

It's true that it is less lethal, but that isn't the purpose. NATO uses it because you can carry more rounds because they are smaller.

I have written to Kayak suggesting this in the past. Without such a feature, the hidden charges and nickle-and-diming will just get worse.

The best explanation I heard (from elsewhere) was that if Kayak automatically included any fees, then some users might see a lower price on another site and mistakenly conclude the Kayak didn't actually have the lowest prices. But this seems obviously solvable by making it a non-default option and displaying the price as "$X ($Y fare + $Z fees)".

It's a slightly older form of the term. "Space" is just space, it's everywhere. Your car has space inside it, so does your backpack, so does your living room, it's all just ordinary space. "Outer" space has specifically referred to the space above Earth's atmosphere, to differentiate it from more Earthly kinds of spaces. Over time outer space has become less exotic and so it tends to just be called "space" colloquially these days, with the meaning understood based on context.

"When the bomb burst, people told of blackouts and strange electrical malfunctions, like garage doors opening and closing on their own."

The Soviet tests are interesting. They actually managed to burn down an entire electrical power station with the EMP from one of their bombs.

Edit: looking into it more, the destruction of the power station is uncertain. There was definitely a fire at the Karaganda power station, but there's only one vague reference to it being destroyed as a result. Interesting how a question like "did this entire power station burn down in the 1960s?" can remain unanswered today.
Uh... what?!

The bill would order the Defense Department to establish the

same way the Marine Corps operates as a service within the
Department of the Navy. The Secretary of the Air Force would
oversee both the Air Force and the Space Corps, but the new
chief of staff of the Space Corps would be a new four-position,
co-equal with the chief of staff of the Air Force. DoD would
have to deliver reports to Congress in both March and August
of next year on the details of how it plans to set up the new
service.

There is a Snapchat API. The Snapchat client uses it. Several years ago, many, many third-party apps also used it, resulting in the release of huge numbers of pictures that users thought were private[1].

Since then, Snapchat took measures to prevent the use of its API by third-party clients[2].

Besides issues like that, Snapchat has no incentive to provide an API. They use their official client to show ads and therefore make money.

One can still have a ritual for digital music, and - having grown up using cassettes and vinyl and getting very over the time and hassle needed to maintain the media or the playing equipment - I'm more than happy having an option of a non-ritualistic music session. I can understand younger folk or those seeking sentimentality going for a vinyl experience, though. Digital does offer so much these days - cataloguing, cross-indexing, choice of quality of storage, transfer between different devices, streaming - I can't imagine myself going back (in time / in terms of overall experience).

>Another approach is to model business logic using pure functions. Instead of business logic calling the integration logic (directly or indirectly) you have the integration logic calling the business logic.

Yes, this is similar to what I did. I ensured business logic dealt only with data structures and algorithms, and knew nothing about the rest of the world. If it needed to report an error, it would call an interface class's "ReportError" function, and pass a string. It did not need to know if the error went to the console, a file, an email, text message, etc.

However, in our case, the communication is still two way - just separated via interfaces. The integration logic does call the business logic, but the business logic may need to do things like report the results, log interesting information, etc. So we still had to mock the interface class (i.e. mock the ReportError function).

But in the bigger picture - yes. Not allowing your business logic to know anything about the details of the integration was really helpful. In principle, our customers could have written the business logic for us.

Sadly, my team did not accept it so we never adopted it.

This. They've started saying things like, "The earth goes through natural cycles. How do we know this isn't normal? There weren't any humans around to cause the last ice age."
