Look I understand you have a horse in this race, but how can anyone be breaking the law by stating their preference. Just because you don't agree with it, as long as there is no physical harm, or enticement to cause harm, than it shouldn't be banned.

I could stand on a hilltop and say my hairy left testicle is god and should be worshipped, that doesn't make it true(bloody hell I hope not).

My point of view that while there may be unpopular views(some for good reason), banning them doesn't fix the problem. Education and rational conversation is the key(as long as they arnt backed by voilence: see ww2 for an example of when talking doesn't work)
It is completely feasible. In fact Spain was the project of many different kingdoms (or "nations" by modern standards): Basque, Aragon/Catalan, Galician and Castilian.

Not only that but many modern leftist political parties advocate for self determination freedom within our constitution.

So the fact that the Catalan parliament with a simple majority of separatists are claiming unilateral referendum of independence in a free country is just to gather momentum.

Indeed, a Falcon 9 takes only the amount of fuel used by 2 long-distance 747 flights. BFR might be, say, five to seven times that, though it's a different fuel (natural gas instead of kerosene.)
The value of being useful is classic bourgeois ideology. It was the basis of bourgeois criticism of the aristocracy, church, etc. Everything was called on to justify itself in real-world terms. This was a good thing. And it certainly provided a better basis for authority than what preceded it.

I think "falls apart" is overreaching. If the claim was that 21 states were targeted by russian hackers, and only two states repudiate that, that's less than a 10% error rate.

Keep in mind that state governments want to make sure they aren't deemed incompetent. But anyone who knows anything about "the cyber" knows that there are tons of legacy systems at both the state and federal level which are wide open to possible attacks.

The suggestion that an adversary could "scan" the networks is totally within the realm of plausability. This is the first step of a cyber attack, and while an individual state may be able to conclude that they weren't successfully attacked, it doesn't mean they weren't targeted to begin with.

Are you thinking Elon's concern is about what we have today?

Duh. Today's AI methods are great at pattern recognition (weak AI).

The real risk is obviously a strong, generic AI. We don't know how to to get there, but we kinda do know that we will, so now is the time to think about risks.

I really don't get why this is controversial or hard to understand. (My most cynical thought is that it's just about people doing weak AI feeling bothered and trying to kill the conversation out of short term strategical reasons because they know that many people are bound to mix up the concepts of weak and strong AIs, particularly since they are often selling their weak pattern matching AI systems as something quite a lot more.)

Addendum: for an example of how it's done right, look at Slack. Slack has a completely different business model and general objective in serving the user, but divorcing this conversation from that fundamental idea, Slack (without being pretentious) gets it right 85% of the time, in that I'm able to do what I want, and get what I need. Facebook, on the other hand, is stepping in shit 75% of the time, and waxes manipulative when not seeming generally confusing and disorganized.

And to return to the original subject at hand, compare Facebook (right now, today) to React's general website and documentation facelift. The comparison turns out to be surprisingly different in quality. (hint: facebook rates lower)
> I get conversations and interactions with people while biking.

Never happens for me. Probably because I'm about twice as fast as the average cyclist and basically pass them like they are standing still.

The guys that go head to head with me or that I can't keep up with tend not to be conversationalists, which suits me fine.

Riding side by side and chatting, in traffic, would be impractical, even if either of us wanted to.

The stops at intersections are brief. Plus you get separated; one just makes the green light, the other stops and that's it.

The political video that you posted (only in spanish, and from 2015) is not very helpful, nor related to the current topic (the removal of an app from google due to the pressure of a government in a desperate crisis).
ICOs — a form of business model — are not inherently flawed. What is flawed are people's abilities to separate signal from noise, which given the technality and speculation of these projects make sense.

Additionally, ICOs are not necessarily for companies. That seems to be a recent trend. Before that, ICOs were for protocols or open source projects to raise funding for development. For example, Ethereum is not a company but had an ICO. People participated because they wanted the protocol construction to continue.
You are right, and honestly the more I think about it, the more I worry about it being a bad idea.

Why do you want to own a home so badly? Most people in NYC are perfectly happy to rent. But if you plan on staying in the city long term and have a tech salary you can definitely buy and save money eventually.

> Plus, my understanding is that back east, tech is what companies use rather than what companies make, so at most companies you'll be in a supporting role rather than building the products.

The first part is definitely kind of true, the second part depends. If you're really passionate about tech as an industry then yes you might like SF more, but if you care about products that provide value to everyday people and not Uber for X then maybe you'd like NYC companies more.

Ever since I read Snow Crash, I wondered to myself, why hasn't this been adapted as a screenplay yet? It played in my head like a movie when I first read it. No other book has done that. Neal Stephenson's writing style is really cinematic and I'm glad it's now being adapted for viewing.

Hard to know how many would go at one shot. A few hundred? One could move cargo also. Maybe once a day? For a 40 minute trip, maybe a lot more. Depends on the price. The thing is, the infrastructure a rocket needs might be way less than big airplanes. Super chilled CH4 and O2 and a small pad and tower. Along with doing say 20 flights per day, these things can move around the globe easily and go where the demand is.
And you just hope that they AI that's sustaining the human life on Mars, doesn't like the AI taking over the earth.

I think having a backup of humanity would make world leaders to be more dangerous with their decision making, destroying earth in the process. Why, they have backup of humanity in outer space.

And after disaster on earth, they try to restore the backup and realize that restore is not going to work. Any DBA will tell you stories of failing restore and the dread that sets in when that happens, it does happen.

My worst fear is that in space we would realize that humans need a certain bacteria in our stomach to develop brain or to just be humans, and our last colony-wide anti-viral shot killed those bacteria's, and that bacteria only is found in cow's milk, cows that eat grass on earth. And then that's it, end of story.

I think the physics of space exploration can be worked out, biology is not going to be.
I think Unidos Podemos supports the referendum (the leader has said he's against the separation but that it's Catalonia's choice). Then there's the "Republican Left of Catalonia–Catalonia Yes", which is pro-separation.
Still, together they only have 80 out of 350 seats.

The second biggest party, currently in opposition, is obviously blaming the government for the whole mess, but I don't think they have any intention of voting to change the constitution.

As I told you I only sampled a few episodes (4-5), and servility and/or racism (Diesel) were present in most of them, without any distance or criticism. I'm glad there are other themes, but I don't want to watch every episode before I show them to my kids, so I avoid the series altogether.

Edit: BTW, By Diesel, I meant Trucks, that's how they are called in the French translation.
That is what I was thinking. The quietness and difficulty of distraction alone would be a monumental improvement. Overall, of course, I think it is a recipe for disaster, but simply going down a checklist of various factors, at least the panopticon model would avoid many of the situations open floor plan offices promote that are a cancer to any business where mental work is important. Our existing office plans were optimized for repetitive clerical work and manufacturing-driven work. That mental work requires a different office environment really shouldn't surprise anyone, and since there are 1000+ studies now showing how badly open floor plans destroy productivity, it's becoming a real test of how much do companies value the superstitions of the managers over actual profit.
> Because as we all know, the US is special and gets to fuck with everybody else's elections (up to and including the violent overthrow of a democratically elected government and state executed assassination), but do it to them and suddenly it's a warlike act.

I have no idea of your political inclinations, but generally I find it odd that the right is overall giving a pass to Russia with this. Deflecting as you are doing, and not answering the issue at hand.

Russia, formerly via Communism, was all but our enemy shortly after WW2. They are still an adversary. So, we decided it was in our best interest to fuck with them, and many other countries because we were "the good guys". Yes, this got convoluted and contrived, and completely futile -- especially w.r.t. Vietnam, the Bay of Pigs, Panama, and many others I imagine.

But even considering all that, it still doesn't justify Russia interfering with our election. Surprising? No.

But why are so many on the right giving Russia a free-pass? It all seems to be the same motivation that kept us in Vietnam for years after it was known to be a waste: To avoid admitting you were wrong; to try and save face.

I didn't understand how the gradients are produced to honor this underflow behavior. Is that the reason why they use "ES" instead of symbolic (or probably they meant automatic) differentiation?
Upvote for balance because it's A) a reasonable suggestive misinterpretation and B) not untrue.

It's not like the swastika where it's so abstract. The symbol has such a specific detailed design that you have to be familiar with the history to know it's not a direct reference.
That was my point, you just went back further in history than I did :p
From sotomayer's dissent:

>there was nothing to prevent the grandparents from filing a petition to adopt the child.

This strongly suggests that the goal of the statute was purely to keep indian children indian. If the parents don't want to do so? Perhaps the grandparents will. If the mother doesn't want to? Perhaps the father will.

That said, it is clear that the most likely alternative to adoption in similar situations is for the mother to raise the child, which would also result in the child not being indian. Notably, the father presented no intention to stop this, until it was determined the child would be adopted. I wonder: why did Brown decide to seek custody when he found out about the adoption?
I told you so!

I suspect price will have more to do with the tech's underlying ability to scale to lots of (separately-sandboxed) customers at lots of edge locations. Our tech is pretty different from Amazon's so it will be interesting to see how that shakes out.
In any democracy or lawful state, independence movements are just a matter of nationalistic feelings. It's normal they are a tricky thing. They do not obey the principles of solidarity (in this case) or rational thinking. They live mainly from either supremacist or victimization arguments.
"Total orbital rocket flights/yr are usually considerably less than 100 though, so I'm sceptical they'll ever approach airplane reliability with so few flights."

"with so few flights" is the operative phrase there.

Current launch market is about 60-100/year.

This is why SpaceX invented its constellation: not only does it allow them to make a lot more money than just doing a few dozen launches per year, but it allows them to generate their own demand for launches to justify these crazy Mars rockets. The constellation is for about 12,000 satellites replaced every 4 years or so. Initially 500kg, but Mueller (rocket guy) recently hinted they could get much larger (so let's say 50-100 tons). Therefore, they'll be able to self-generate between 30 and 3000 annual BFR launches on their own. This point to point thing is another add-on market, could be even larger from a launch volume perspective (but, interestingly, smaller from a addressable-market revenue perspective than the constellation). With 3000 flights per year and margin to spare (and the benefit of post-inspection of the rocket in case of a near-miss), you should be about 100-1000x as reliable as today's crewed rockets just to start. Now add point-to-point, and you can do 50,000 BFR flights per year...

At first yeah, I'm surprised too.

Is the Catalan government a private organization? Or is it technically a part of the Spanish state.

Private organizations can organize, fund, and promote whatever referendums they want. And the Spanish govt. would just say they don't recognize the result.

But if the organizer is not a private organization, but instead a public institution, then it's likely abuse of authority and funds.
I doubted it too, until I saw it and could come up with no other explanation. I don't think it was a full parse, just something like a dumb grep for certain patterns. It threw errors trying to import something that was only mentioned in a comment, and removing the comment fixed it. I wish I could find the bug report.
It would be foolish to think humans would be different because they happen to be in space.

Yeah, the first ones to look at earth from outer space had an mind altering experience. I am sure the few who flew in first airplanes had similar story to tell, but now we complain about service while flying.

We would just get used to being in space, and keep doing what we do best, be humans and have conflict.

I want earth treated right, people on earth treated right, space escape will only bring out worst from people.

Come on jsdario...

It is indeed possible to change the constution, but:

1) You need 3/5ths of the camera to do so.

2) There is only one significant state-wide party supporting self determination (podemos, which a very young party that entered the scene only in the last election).

3) The major parties (PP and PSOE, which would be like the republicans and democrats in the state) are both overtly against self determination.

In any case, having to change the constitution amounts to having to get the support of 3/5ths of spain. This is hardly self-determination, don't you think?

My general sense is cities in Idaho, like a lot of places that aren't the Bay Area, prosecute the homeless until they move somewhere less visible but haven't improved their situation at all, can you enlighten me?
