I don't know.

From my own reading of her article, it seemed like her (feminism-related) issue stemmed from him using feminism as both a shield and excuse to pick up women.

But, to _try_ to answer your—perhaps rhetorical—question, I'd say yes to the extent that somebody who talks the talk should walk the walk. Having extramarital affairs isn't respecting your wife. IMO, it's similar to an unabashed anti/non-racist repeatedly using racial slurs. Like, there's a bit of dissonance there that needs to be spoken to.
This sounds a lot like the Single Transferable Vote system that some of us are pushing for in Canada. Same principle, you rank all of the parties that are acceptable to you, and your vote is applied to the first candidate who isn't eliminated.

This way, if I want the Green party, and am willing to settle for Liberals, but can't stand the thought of a Conservative win, then I can support my favorite party without risking a split vote that lets the hated party squeak in with ~38% of the vote. Naturally, those of us who vote for fringe parties are strongly in favor of STV, and those who benefit from split votes complain that it is too complex for the average voter to understand.

Yes, well there are many different networks that are syndicated everywhere. The question is if they could control the same frequency everywhere, which I don't think makes sense with how our radio stations are structured.
Curious to hear how it turns out.
There's no doubt that incredible amounts of time are "wasted" by all of our quick dopamine hit apps and sites. These are the new opiate of the masses.

It seems to be something we are all aware of, and we talk of unplugging. Some do, here and there. It's a constant struggle. The new cigarette / snack food. Just as hard to quit - but we should all at least try.

What would you say is the value of decentralization?
I'm not advocating for SQL in views. MVC and ORM are great. As is free auth and form generation from database models. I haven't seen a framework that gives me everything that Django or Laravel does for free.
Consider also that residential power consumption is a minority percentage of the total (vs manufacturing and commercial).
PoW isn't the only path to decentralisation. A proof of stake system is also possible; or a hybrid approach, where PoW is used to bootstrap the currency, and PoS incrementally takes over after a certain hash-rate.

> Also they have to test the devices

Why? The whole point of GSM is that carrier and phone can (and should) be entirely disconnected, decoupled and only connected through the means of whatever SIM the user puts in his phone.

The notion that a carrier needs to be involved in the making of a phone makes about as much sense as if my ISP needed to test and "approve" what Ethernet hardware I use at home.

It's frankly none of their business.

> This problem is made worse on Verizon and Sprint which use CDMA

So don't use them, just like you wouldn't use an ISP which doesn't speak IP.
Not that it will make you feel any better, but often the offending soldier is not held responsible. Ultimately might will make right and the victors will decide on the punishment.

The "system" is already an excuse. Example the Tarnak Farm Incident where a US pilot killed 4 Canadian soldiers:
"... as much as the F-16 pilots bear final responsibility for the fratricide incident, there existed other systemic shortcomings in air coordination and control procedures, as well as mission planning practices by the tactical flying units, that may have prevented the accident had they been corrected."[5]

Despite the fact he "flagrantly disregarded a direct order", "exercised a total lack of basic flight discipline", and "blatantly ignored the applicable rules of engagement". He was merely fined $5,700.

If it is indeed GPS spoofing it must be happening to commercial vessels right? Doesn't the US military use a different, more accurate/secure version of GPS? It seems more likely the less secure AIS protocol is somehow being manipulated.
Instinctively I tend to agree.

Every civilized person in the world might be decrying it, but all of that is no matter. It is a simple calculation of expected value of outcome. If the payoff is large enough, it'll be done.

Let's assume that if a country goes public with its development of autonomous weaponry, every other country in the world turns on that country. Let us also assume that it creates an asymmetric warfare state such that said nation can successfully win a war against every other nation, provided the autonomous weaponry is sufficiently well developed.

This provides a simple calculus. If the development can be done in time to win the war, it will be done, and thus we can also adjust the variables: if not every country turns on the developer nation, then development time doesn't have to be as short in order to successfully get the product over the line. The reality is that it'll just look like NK's bid for atomic weapons. Bitching and sanctions until development is complete.

Edit: The way to cut this particular Gordian knot is to view the development itself as tantamount to execution. Development of autonomous weapons needs to be recognized as literal war and murder, and those doing the development, from leaders to corporations to scientists, need to be caught, tried, convicted, and sentenced as if they were successful.
Maybe, hopefully they figure it out, Vitalik Buterin et al are certainly working on it -- but there is no proof yet that a Proof of Stake system can function at scale like a Proof of Work system can.
Good question. I haven't looked at that case. V8 can detect and optimize small ints (smi, fit in uint32, i.e. all types of typedarrays), but it might still take the easy/slow path and convert to doubles. Relatively easy to look at with node.js and irhydra.

If you're trying to spend more time creating things, I suggest you give The War of Art[1] by Steven Pressfield a read. It put words to a gnawing feeling I've felt since my late teenage years, but never knew how to confront.

I'm not sure this is technical enough, but this gist is as follows. GPS signals are extremely weak. They are below the background noise floor (you can't see them with a spectrum analyzer) and can only be received by convolving with a pseudorandom code (PN code). Because they are so weak, an adversary can overpower them and cause receivers to "lock on" as long as rogue signal is well designed. GPS signals are fairly simple. They mainly encode precise time information from atomic clocks orbiting the earth. By receiving 4 time signals from 4 atomic clocks in known orbits, one's position can be precisely known.

This is a hard attack, but not not impossible. The Iranians are rumored to have used this technique to down a stealth drone the US was using for spy purposes.
He's just making that stuff up.

The US Navy has released surprisingly little info on the Fitzgerald collision. The new "report" is all about damage control after the collision, not the events leading up to it.

I don't mean to muddy it, its already muddied. Saying someone is a lawyer is easy, if they passed the bar they are a lawyer. If someone has a medical license they are a doctor. There is no equivalent for software engineering. If you got 20 software engineers in a room you'd end up with 25 definitions for what a software engineer is.

A good portion of the software community does not want a governing body over the industry. If we are going to accept that, then we also need to accept that titles are meaningless because there are no standards.
You can build complex user flows with JavaScript on top of server rendered views. Ajax works great with server side rendering, see Pjax https://github.com/defunkt/jquery-pjax or Intercooler http://intercoolerjs.org/

The server is rendering JSON anyway, more or less just as expensive to serve HTML. Besides, the bottleneck is usually database access.

It's a false separation and forces you to expose far more than necessary. It's nice to have my full database available on every page render without needing to define explicit endpoints.

I also like having forms generated from database models.
This will get even better with USB-C and/or Thunderbolt. Just sit down and with a single cable, get monitor, power, network and peripherals. (Almost) regardless of laptop make & model.
Will the next major war see only drones fighting?
The big problem is proliferation as these new war bots become cheaper.

China, RU, the US and the EU won't go around doing wanton destruction just because. They will have predictable calculus behind their decisions (for example, neither has take the opportunity to take out the NK leader, while any one of them could remotely with little repercussion --aside form some international grandstanding)

On the other hand, you get this in the hands of dictators, such as the aforementioned, or Maduro or Castro, or al Baghdadi and who knows what they would unleash internally or against regional rivals.

For that reason, I'd support a complete and enforced ban. With the possible exception that we might battle extra terrestrial aliens if they are the ungood kind.
It's $19 to get a Store account that lets you submit an app (1). Developing is free, but to submit the app you have to pay. I'd be curious to see how many people with accounts haven't submitted an app - I know I haven't, but mine was free via school.

"And just recently started accepting Hispanics and black founders out of a current trend/topic for tech companies to accept diversity."

This is either very poorly worded or unfairly incorrect. When have they not accepted black or Hispanic founders?! They might have attracted mostly white/Asian applicants, but they have never precluded any group.

"...they don't get the fact that founders can have a horrible application or even look horrible on paper."

Of course they get that fact. They often speak about how often they miss opportunities - it's not a charity and they can't pick every winner in advance. They don't just judge applicants on paper. They take a video, and they look at product traction and so on. They have people from all sorts of backgrounds showing it's not a cookie cutter process.

But if you do a bad job at presenting/explaining yourself and your idea, there's every chance you'll have similar struggles pitching to investors and customers.

That only applies to phone bought from carriers.

Most people buy them in electronic shops where they buy tvs and laptops and stuff (since that allows you to get the best deal any carrier can offer, and not just be restricted to one).

Libertarianism is, at its core, an ethos where skilled people with in-demand skills get to keep all their stuff and pretend that their wealth has nothing to do with other people's inputs. If you want to keep all your stuff, libertarianism is for you. If you want to make it sound like you're being noble when you're actually being selfish, libertarianism is for you.

How many libertarians are poor? How many are minorities? How many are women? The libertarian deck is pretty obviously stacked - it's all about maintaining property rights with zero responsibility; for example, somehow 'taxes' are 'violence', but 'enforcing property rights through the courts and the exact same sheriff that would recover taxes' is 'not violence'. Pick on any libertarian thread and the cloth unravels pretty fast.

The biggest trick the libertarians have pulled, in my opinion, is convincing people that they're the only ones interested in civil rights.
It'll be interesting to see if these new dopamine fads play out differently.

My government puts a lot of effort (money) into making people quit smoking because smokers are extremely expensive on public healthcare. Our goals are 4% by 2025, but even in countries with less of a business case for health, there are still huge campaigns against smoking.

Facebook, Reddit, candy crush, instagram and so on aren't really seen as health risks. They mostly occupy the masses, and no one wants to put money into stopping that. At least not yet.
I'm Australian, I understand how the affiliate stations work but can you explain what you mean when you say you don't like your local station?

Yes, the US military uses a different GPS code to the general public. It's more accurate and harder to spoof.

However, these collisions could be caused by spoofing the general maritime traffic so the US ships are on the 'correct' course and everyone else is offset.
I think the point is, only a human should: 1) authorize the kill, 2) choose the target, and 3) specify the limit of acceptable collateral damage. The missile's AI should never decide 1, 2, or 3, but only how to execute its orders in compliance with the standing rules of engagement.
Limited government, except for the massive expansion of the court system, so that everything can be decided post-facto in the courts rather than beforehand with regulations.
I wonder if the visual play of the Oreo mimicking a solar eclipse on the homepage [1] is a coincidence, seeing as how it was released on the 21st.

I am actually more concerned about the 10 missing sailors, not just concerns for their lives, but I am really concerned how they went missing after the collision? The ship's damage is not very bad. I can understand they could have fallen into water, but this doesn't make a lot of sense. If they were facing the impact, they would have run away. If they were in other three directions, then I am surprised that ten sailors got thrown off the deck, and none of them could get back on the water surface. This raises my concern for the ship's rails.

--EDIT--

I believe this incident occurred early in the morning around 5:24 a.m and I don't think it was in total darkness. Also, what about the transport ship? Shouldn't they also have the ability to detect (and also human for lookup) since this is one of the busiest lane?
If any Google Cloud people are listening I wish you had an equivalent to AWS's Certificate Manager. Provisioning a TLS certificate which automatically renews for eternity (no out-of-band Let's Encrypt renewal process needed) and attaching it to a load balancer is so nice compared to Google Cloud's manual SslCertificate resource creation flow[1].

To a lesser extent, it's also nice registering domains within AWS and setting them to auto renew. Since Google Domains already exists, it would be neat to have this feature right inside Google Cloud.

GPS can be selectively denied to an area (all but US military hardware) while the US is engaged in combat.

There are also military specific parts of GPS that civilian receivers can't access. I don't know if military receivers are ignoring civilian signals, though.
not in the American sense, but "libertarianism" has long usage in Europe as well, where it's usually associated with 'left libertarian' thinkers such as Orwell, Kropotkin and so forth. Chomsky would be a contemporary example.

Many European anarchists describe themselves as libertarian, in the US the terminology is just not common, so people might be talking past each other here.
But if a carrier has the nerve to actually block updates to my phone and I find out, I'll switch my phone to another carrier the next day.

Regardless of any GPS spoofing that could be present, it'd be awfully hard to hide the radar return from a large tanker/cargo ship.
I'm not super familiar with American politics. What do you mean by 'fiscally conservative'? You want the Government to lower taxes and lower benefits and such, is that right? Because that sort of 'the market is right, we don't need no government spending in our economy' view.. well.. that just is the same as being economically liberal.

But then again Americans seem to use 'liberal' to mean 'left-wing', is that right? Because that's pretty insane IMO, that's not really what it means anywhere else..
Actually, this is not an allowed customization.
I worked in a PC shop in 1990 and we got RAM chips in bulk and in plastic tubes. The dealers would put in counterfet chips that would not work because of shortages. Then issue a refund later on. Some PC shops also ripped off other PC shops doing horse trading involving RAM or CPU chips. Had a high defective rate back then. Nobody thpught to examine the chips, either threw them away, horsetraded them, or sent them back to dealer for a refund.
I read in the other collision that water flooded the rooms very quickly, which makes it difficult to escape.

That's not accurate.
All ships should be keeping a physical lookout at all times, it can only be complete incompetence at work. Pretty pathetic of a warship cannot steer clear of such a large vessel. Clearly it would pretty easy for an enemy to attack them if they are thus incompetent
I think this has become much easier with the rise of SDR.

You would mainly have to know alot about the orbits of the GPS satellites to be able to convincingly simulate their signals from a given point on the globe.
Unlikely. But see Ukraine (and isis) for how the drone thing is playing out. Drones are now integrated into the battlefield more and more. But they haven't replaced humans, and they won't until they're multi-purpose and able to adapt.

I have produced what is to my knowledge the most precise estimate of Bitcoin's energy consumption: http://blog.zorinaq.com/bitcoin-electricity-consumption/ That other index ("Bitcoin Energy Consumption Index") is famously flawed, and its author is strangely defensive. I wrote a critic: http://blog.zorinaq.com/serious-faults-in-beci/

The chart https://twitter.com/FatTailCapital/status/899714838796148745 was produced as described in the footnote (mining hashrate × efficiency linearly declining from 1.5 to 0.2 J/GH), which IMHO fairly represents the "upper bound" of the energy consumption. The real consumption is likely lower. For example my study estimates the current efficiency is between 0.100 and 0.195 J/GH.
