For what it's worth, there are some fan cuts of the Hobbit movies that remove all the superfluous stuff and make it much closer to the book. Worth looking up.
If I were the LA Times, every Disney movie review would be replaced by text saying "Disney has blacklisted us from early screenings as a retaliation for an article we published on them. When our reviewer has a chance to attend a normal screening we will place the review here, until then, please enjoy this reprint of the original article".
This is a funny joke, but empirically not true as of this last election. Hillary massively out spent Trump.
That is not true. If a company does not follow the GPL and is called out, they can simply do what the GPL tells them to do and the case is done.
"GOD FORBID i click on anything while its loading" hahaha that's how you distinguish experienced from not experiences users
It's not that much more work. You have to be careful with a few concepts (like SAM/Functional interfaces), but most of the time you can just write in Kotlin. I want to support both because a lot of companies are probably like the one I work for, where there are a lot of java-devs, and a few of them are pushing for kotlin. This seems like a good compromise to me.

Play was two different projects tho? There is only one Javalin source.
Imagine not having to dedicate your entire career to this one path you've picked, but having enough time to explore whatever you want and as much as you want.

Imagine being able to postpone your career because you and your husband/wife decided to bring someone new to this world. You could still achieve anything you wanted, and not be tied by time in this case.

In this scenario, you get to choose when you die. Would you live a hundred years? Probably. Two hundreds? Most likely. 500? Highly unlikely.

I don't think that the world population might be as big of a problem as we currently think it is going to be. A woman no longer needs to give birth to eight babies to have three of them reach their adultery (as was the case 200 years ago). And, right now, a Western couple is usually able to support one or two children and still pursue their individual career paths. 200 years from now, I cannot realistically say that I don't expect as big of an improvement in human evolution as it happened between 200 years ago and now.

> I’m highly skeptical. It’s 2017, and we still debate if carbs are bad for us, we can’t effectively suppress a cough without highly addictive opiates, we domt have the cure for the common cold, and any drug treatment for any disease state involves a ligand binding to a specific site triggering a counterbalancing cascade of effects.

What seems intuitively simple isn't necessarily simple. As unintuitive as it seems, it could very well be that curing the common cold will be harder than curing aging.

That said, Kurzweil isn't saying that we will have invented the immortality treatment by 2029, merely that we will have some life extension treatments available. These treatments will simply get you to the next treatment, and that to the next one, and so on ad infinitum.

It's not so implausible when framed like that. We've already had quite a few promising results in aging research in the past 10 years, and the interest in this field is growing, and so the pace of advancement will also increase.
Government should not be picking winners and losers. Giving tax breaks and subsidies to Disney so they can stay afloat is horrible. Hats off to the LA times for exposing this, the people are waking up and are tired of big government and corporate America robbing the poor and middle class blind.
>This is of course ignoring political principles of fair taxation.

Of course.
Future work :)

But probably what you already expect: very strict birth control. People would still die from accidents, etc.

For sure, a thorny issue, although not one can make us dismiss the idea of extending human lifes out of hand.

Private company does not invite random media outlet to movie screening. How is this news?
It's not wrong though.
What happens if these cars get in a situation where there is no legal way to move? For instance, the other day I was driving down the street and it was closed because of a Farmers market. Will they just sit there for hours? In gridlock, there is often no way to move without "blocking the box."
But do they have a built in audience? I loved both the LotR books and Peter Jackson films, I love GoT and ASoIaF, I even have Amazon Prime, I probably fit perfectly into their intended target audience but I have no desire to watch this. The Jackson adaptations left me completely satisfied, a new adaptation can only go down from there.
From looking at the codebase, looks like there isn't any explicit "support Kotlin and Java", because most of the code's written in Kotlin.

Also, Kotlin and Java are meant to be well interoperable, so the Java support sort of comes by default. So it won't be the same as Scala + Java.
I've been burnt by Apache Spark which has an awful Java API compared to Scala (and Python).

If someone has a better answer, I'd love the education :)

Being an "idiot" is not the only or even the most probable reason for making a bad political decision (if this is one). You're committing the common fallacy of oversimplifying by assuming that the principal and the agent are identical, which is never true in government,by definition. Anaheim is not a person who makes its own decisions: there are politicians who make decisions on behalf of the city of Anaheim (and its constituents). Those politicians, as separate entities, have their own incentives. It's entirely rational (and unethical, but not "idiotic") for them to make choices that benefit themselves to the detriment of their constituents. For example, FTA:

> Support for various deals benefiting Disney has come from Anaheim City Council members who have received generous campaign contributions through a byzantine network of political action committees funded by the company

Now I'm not saying that this definitely _is_ bad policy, but your assumption that they must be "idiots" to make the wrong decision for the city isn't a well-founded one. It could easily just be garden variety corruption.

NancyFx was also the first thing I thought off when looking at the examples. Before the .NET Core days I always used NancyFx as a drop-in REST service when I needed one in a non-web app setting, like a Windows service.
I think the multiplayer is plenty accessible to players below Masters level. The matchmaking in SC2 was always more fair than the team based matchmaking games because 1v1 ELO systems are legitimately fair systems, compared to team ELO games where there's a lot more variance in skill.

>The beauty of League/Overwatch/PUBG/CSGO as an esport is the burden of game knowledge is relatively low comparatively.

This statement rings false for me - Overwatch and League (and DotA) are practically impossible for a novice or inexperienced player to follow because the number of unique characters and abilities is overwhelming. Contrast that with CS:GO or PUBG which is much more simple gunplay anyone can understand. In the middle of these extremes is Starcraft 2 where most of the in-game units are based off pre-existing sci-fi lore, and thus the function of the units is far more obvious to a novice spectator.

>RTS are essentially giant paper rock scissors games, but so fast paced it's really hard to get over the initial hump/learning curve, especially with as much micro across multiple groups as SC2 requires to get higher.

That's quite an oversimplification of the strategy required in Starcraft:Brood War or SC2. I'm sure other RTS are like this, but the ability to scout in those games creates a skillful back and forth with how a players build their tech/base/army and evolve their strategy throughout the match.
Yes, it is. The article makes it sound like it's an Ethereum vulnerability when it is not.
OK - im replying to my comment because I find all these answers to be bullshit and here is why:

So what these answers say is that you "no longer have any expectation of privacy while driving out and about" -- which is a fine argument to make in a police state, are we a police state - because guess what: this is now saying that any self driving car company has the ability to license plate scan you and take your picture to ensure their corporate protection from YOU affecting their incomes.

And FUCK THAT - do you know that their was a major silicon valley tech company that is scanning every single vehicles license plate that drives within two miles of their campus and reporting that back to the municipality in which thy sit.

So now, we are going to say that self driving cars are the new state sensors that will record every license and driver that passes them by and report it back to [police]

Are you fucking kidding me?

So thats an acceptable "business model"? - WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK HN? -- if you support this idea, that every freaking robot driving on the roads should auto report all data to the police, then, please, log off. I cant believe what I am hearing.

Film(s) aren't books. It's rarely good storytelling to literally translate a book--especially a long complex one--into a film or even a series of films. It just doesn't work. Especially, a book like Return of the King that has real structural problems with multiple endings, at least one of which is buried in an Appendix.

Anyone who goes to a theater looking for a completely faithful and literal adaptation of a beloved book is almost certainly going to be disappointed.
Not to disagree with the thrust of your argument, but Knight Capital's meltdown was nearer $450 million.
The ability to live forever won't be available to the common man for a long, long time if ever. You aren't even allowed to put what you want into your own body. Do you think the powers that be will allow you to live forever? They thrive on fear, war, death and control.

A more likely future is that the ongoing World War 3 heats up really fast, kills a ton of people and China's technological despotism forms the basis for a new world government that will rule in perpetuity. Why do I think that? It's pretty obvious to me that China, a country that was conquered by the British only a century ago, is being setup for this. You know Mao Zedong came out of the Yale school of Divinity right? Every ambassador to China since then has come from Skull and Bones and major players leak nuclear secrets and other high technology to them on purpose (see Israel, Bill Clinton and many, many others). "Made in China" is an Illuminati curse for the entire world - everybody bought into this and you're gonna pay before long.

I'm sure that most of you think I'm crazy. That's fine with me. I am used to being part of a small minority. The clueless far, far outnumber the clueful.

Same here. I have a couple of ancient (roughly ten years old) Threadless shirts that still look good, and I have a couple of recent ones (within the last two years) that never fit the same and have not held up.

Since many (most?) designs that are on Threadless are also on Society6, and since Society6 shirts are still relatively high quality, I order from them now instead.

Exactly. In many devices, including switching supplies, a bit of attention (and a few very low-cost parts) will bring the devices into compliance. RFI suppression steps are in the data sheet / example circuit for nearly all components used in switching supplies, FWIW.

But just as firms want to be able to import steaks that have been made from cattle raised near polluted foreign rivers, firms import power supplies made with RFI-suppression parts omitted because someone along the way wants that $0.15 as profit and US regulators don't care.

Incidentally, a law was passed fairly recently that allows agricultural firms to remove information about where food items were produced, so quite possibly the steaks we eat will soon be made from cows who drink the water runoff from the polluting factories that make the low quality switching supplies.

Our "first world" environmental regulations (food quality, air and water quality, RF noise floor) are only as good as our regulation of imported products that commit fraud by selling products that do not comply. By failing to enforce these laws, US regulators have helped foreign firms cheat their way into the US market, putting US firms out of business and harming consumers indirectly by polluting their environment.

I'm not arguing that all of those regulations make sense, just that it is silly to have laws that we don't enforce when the health consequences and RFI consequences harm everyone.
is there an online comunity for processing.js like wonderfl for flash?
That's pretty terrifying that it can't read street signs and is dependent on mapping. Here in D.C., there are all sorts of fine-grained road rules, such as streets that are one-way only certain times of day, streets that reverse direction at certain times of day, turns that are legal or illegal depending on time of day, etc. That's not including random road closures.

These databases apparently don't get updated that often. Recently, D.C. moved a major highway on-ramp. It used to be that you could get on 395-S heading west on H street, by taking a left onto the on-ramp. They replaced it with an underground entrance ramp on eastbound Mass. Ave., such that westbound traffic on H or Mass. Ave. could no longer use the on-ramp, and had to go several blocks south to use a different one. This was a widely-publicized move planned long in advance. And at least Apple Maps tried to steer me down the old route for awhile.

Similar thing in our neighborhood just outside the Annapolis city limits. They closed our street to car traffic with barriers, so that you can get in an out but can't drive along it for more than one cross street. Whatever database Uber uses still hasn't figured this out--I'll get Uber drivers waiting for me on the other side of one of the barriers.

Moving hardware from the prototype stage to mass production to retail requires a sizable infusion of cash.
When you add together an average car payment (or payment to your own personal 'car fund'), insurance (I'm in Michigan, so because of our stupid no-fault unlimited PIP it's close to $200/month by itself), gas (15k miles, 25 mpg, $2.50 = $1500), oil/maintenance, the average eventually comes out to around $10k/year.

Personally, I'm driving an old vehicle and the total annual cost has been about half that, but on the average people are spending that much.

Both of the things you listed could just as easily be interpreted as distinctive visual design elements. Ultimately, in every sense, function, capability, and limitations guide visual design.

Look at the Made for iPhone badge [1]; the bezels of the older devices are prominently displayed; they + the home button are what enable someone to look at that picture and immediately know its an iPhone. How would that badge look if all they showed was a generic rectangle [2]?

Today, both the bezels and the home button are gone. Yet, take one look at this [3] and tell me it isn't just as distinctive.

Apple made the decision to rotate the camera apparatus on the back of the device by 90 degrees [4] relative to the original device. Is there a functional reason for this? Probably not. Its a visual choice; it differentiates the upper-end device as an almost status symbol. Think on that for a second; you want them to hide the cameras by making them flush, but they picked a completely opposite approach. They accentuated the cameras by making them a status symbol. Flush, hidden cameras could never do this.

Want to bet that the iPhone X won't be their best selling iPhone they've ever made? I doubt it. You know it will be.

Let's talk Pixel. Specifically, the glass part of the back [5]. Its there for a functional reason; improving radio connectivity by avoiding metal. But it could be much less distinctive and accomplish the same purpose. Apple did something similar by running less visible plastic trim around the device with the 6/6S/7/8. Pixel's way is a unique, differentiating design element.

You can try to make a perfectly functional device. No design elements, flush cameras, a beige rectangle. Perfectly functional. Now, you've lost something qualitative; distinction.

LotR is about how the wisest and the strongest barely manage to survive while the weak save the world.

In the books, Gandalf states that expliitly: “Many are the strange chances of the world,' said Mithrandir, 'and help oft shall come from the hands of the weak when the Wise falter.”

In the movies, they even have the King of Gondor kneeling before the hobbits, just to drive the point home. It's hardly subtle.
Actually, that part was added later.
It can read street signs, even hand-held STOP signs in the hands of construction workers. And the cars are continuously mapping their surroundings. But they ALSO use a shared, extremely high quality map database for first-level path planning.

Did you read the article? Because it debunks exactly this simplistic argument.

> The argument goes like this: Low-skilled labor is bought and sold in a market, just like any good or service, and its price should be set by supply and demand.

> A minimum wage, however, upsets this happy equilibrium because it sets a price floor in the market for labor.

> More people want jobs at $7.25 than at $6, but companies want to hire fewer employees. The result: more unemployment.
Certainly each person rolling their own is going to end up worse than the use of modules that are improved over time.

> Three quarters of players are below masters/diamond, so presumably it's reasonably accessible even below those tiers.

Yes, but how engaged are they with the game?

I had a lot of RTS experience, so when SC2 launched, I placed Diamond/Master pretty quickly. I enjoyed it for about a thousand matches.

It's unclear how enjoyable people placing in Bronze and Silver found it. One friend of mine did grind out ~2000 games, and eventually made it from Bronze into Platinum, but I don't know anyone else who started in the lower brackets, and stuck with the game like he did.
If it's like any other large suburb, the people who run Anaheim are only there short term as a springboard to bigger offices. If you want to move up in politics, Disney is a great friend with deep pockets. So they probably did the bare minimum of analysis with the goal of giving Disney what they wanted.

Edit: Wanted to add that this is actually a great way to think about people's motivations. Most people are not stupid; so assume a smart person made this seemingly stupid decision. If you do that, you can usually back into their personal motivations, which probably are not aligned with those of the organization they are representing.
As an app developer I have been guilty of this in the past as well. I really try to make interfaces instantaneous nowadays so you can keep hammering away while in the background things like fetching and saving happen.

Things like naive saving (always continue immediately assuming inserting or updating really happened), command queues and aggressive preloading can make applications really quick again despite they're just an interface for an API.
Going for purely imaginary, completely devoid of any connection with material reality solution is not a cure for too optimistic predictions and lacks in our current knowledge.

These stories of malfeasance by elected officials, where the representatives act so clearly against their office and the public good, present a conundrum. The campaign contributions even at a national level simply aren’t enough money to incentivize the given level of corruption.

I really want to know: what are the incentives? Are there secret payments?

I remember Alaska Senator Ted Stevens was convicted for receiving porch renovations, and his legislative actions were worth billions to the industry providing gifts in kind. It doesn’t make sense, perhaps we are not discovering the true payments.
