You should follow the news, because it looks like it's happening right now.

And you are wrong about the war including every other Arab country. It would only include Iran.

SA is trying to counter Iran, and they want that badly enough to work with Israel to accomplish it.

Other Arab countries aren't going to get involved.

Thanks for the response.

When you say "I would leave immediately", you do mean that you would physically intervene to remove your child, correct? Doing this at 2 years is pretty easy; you can just pick them up and leave. How do you do it at 6 years (50 lbs, 42")? Do you try at 10 years? How do you "leave immediately" with an older child if they physically resist?

If you transition from physical to physiological intervention at a later year, what sort of practice will you and your children have had will make this likely to succeed? If you could make that transition (away from physical manipulation) earlier, is there a reason to wait?

At the bottom of her post she says she did just what you suggest. She started interacting with other people. I don't think the whole "nuclear family causes misery" thing made much sense. She evidently didn't either since her solution to being lonely was to go do things with other people rather than trying to change her family social unit.

OK so disregard the Treasury then if it makes you happy - my general point stands, despite your effort to split hairs - there was massive concerted lies and deceit from leave, and subsequent 'despite Brexit' stories from the BBC etc in their attempt to distract from the egg on their faces. Care to address the leave FUD directly? I suspect you've exhausted your rhetorical armoury by now.

Haskell code with any extensions enabled is pretty much always compatible with Haskell code with any other extensions enabled.

(I only said "pretty much" to hedge my bets. I literally can't think of any case where extensions could make your code incompatible with other code across a module boundary.)

I think the so called "centrão" is very conservative with the "bullets, bovine and bible party" (Bancada BBB). The majority of the right wing (led by PSDB) is liberal and the left wing (led by the aforementioned PT - Worker Party) is progressist with a touch of liberal in the southeast and a lot conservative in the northeast.

Side note: nobody here is talking about the scandal happening in Honduras right now with the right wing government frauding the election and clashing with the population.
The crux of the problem seems to be where we encode the information "this video should loop".

We did it before in surrounding HTML structure. The proposal is to now do it different, slightly shorter, surrounding HTML structure. As far as I can see, there's no fundamental difference, just syntax sugar and a battleground reset.

How do we get the video to loop when viewed directly? When set as the background? When saved as a file? These are use cases that .gif satisfies and videos don't, or only awkwardly and inconsistently.

Also note that content is inherently suited or unsuited to looping. It's rarely useful to play a normal video on a loop, or a video meant to loop just once.

All this points to one solution: a new file extension that means "a video meant to be played in a loop". The format of the file need not be any different from a video. Maybe ".mp4l", ".webml", etc.
I don't think you actually have an argument. I think you are confused.

Bitcoin's deflationary nature makes it bad as a currency. The rapid price gains do indeed prevent people from using it to buy things. Here, noted investor and Bitcoin proponent Fred Wilson has said he's stopped using it for commerce: http://avc.com/2017/08/store-of-value-vs-payment-system/

it has recently come to my attention that Darknet vendors now prefer Monero over Bitcoin - it's more anonymous, and transactions are (currently) faster.
I don't know if that means anything long-term, but Darknet was the first place that had a lot of Bitcoin adoption.
It's currently very difficult to buy Monero with cash, typically you buy Bitcoin and exchange it for Monero on a secondary exchange.
> heck, I bought some electronics which would be worth $50,000 today

You don't see that as a problem? Why buy things with BTC when it's better (for now) to just hold it?
I think that the issue is less to do with the family and more to do with the fact that as an adult most of your adult interaction comes from your profession. Your friends as a child and young adult come from school, as an adult they only come from social groups that form around things such as sports, hobbies, and social groups such as a church.

With a move to first world status there is usually an associated decrease in religious adherence. People then naturally define themselves as what they do first. Getting friends as an adult is very hard as competing schedules and interests can conspire to push people apart, so the default is to make friends with those with whom your work. As a stay at home parent that requires actually seeking out the parental groups.

tl;dr making friends as an adult is difficult and can lead to loneliness.

This is really closer to a trademark issue than patent, no? Few people are buying a watch for the process by which the watch works, but rather for the quality and status (and price) that the brand represents. To check this hypothesis, think about how mad anybody would be if the internals of a watch were copied exactly on a fake, but the branding, name, logo were totally unique.
Currency and investment are two totally different use cases. People's intentions and behaviors with respect to them are totally different.

Since moving to Slack, my email has been reduced drastically (both in length and also in quantity), and also writing long emails were limited for sake of archiving or recording as part of formality. Slack, or similar platform, allows workers to write shorter messages, as well. However, one downside is that Slack is more chatter-prone, so the message has been shortened, but now there's a lot more chatter/messages going around.

I have worked with rpis, BBB, and custom board basted on the latter. I understand what you're saying, customizing a RPI requires working with an external partner. At the same time, I don't agree that such solutions won't work for a final product. There're many untapped opportunities in the embedded/iot space that benefit from a stable, tested, prebuilt solution that you can buy at will even in small batches. In that context, I'd like a full-fledged, highly flexible solution with many features instead of having to choose one or another.

In the Swiss watch business, many movements are made by outsourcing firms. Some of the fakes have the same movement as the real item. It's all about the branding.

If you want to know what time it is, get a solar-powered Casio G-Shock that corrects from WWV and similar time sources. Costs $89.[1] Requires no user attention. More accurate than any mechanical watch.

Who's talking about the field from the magnetic read/write head(s)? This is about the permanent magnets built into spinning hard drives, and what those permanent magnets might do to nearby disk platters, or, when in motion, might do to coils of wire in nearby electronics.

Either some extremely unfortunate and rare positioning and orientation and motion of the magnet occurred, which barely exceeded the design limits of the drive or power supply or other circuitry (or maybe the laptop hdd or circuitry was shoddy and shouldn't have had a problem but did), or this is a major problem that's gone unappreciated among computer and NAS builders for decades, or it was an extremely unlikely coincidence.
Often the extra horsepower is cheaper than developer time.

A few months ago, I started on a project that needed to read an input signal, do some trigonometry on it and update some I/O at a 30kHz update rate. The kind of thing a DSP could handle in its sleep, but I don't have DSP tools and it wasn't worth the investment.

Since a standard Arduino Uno wasn't fast enough to do the math, I built a table of precomputed sines & cosines, scaled to the output signal.

But then we needed 12 bit analog input. Since the Cortex M0 on newer Arduinos (Due?) has a 12 bit A/D and is much faster, I could now drop my precalculated table and do the math on the fly.

But the ADC in the M0 turned out to be crappy, so I ditched it for an off-board 12-bit ADC and went back to the Uno and the sin/cos tables.

Had I not been concerned about latency and startup times, I'd have used a Raspberry Pi with an external ADC or a Beaglebone right out the gate and probably finished the project inside a week. I'm selling the hardware with enough margin that the extra cost doesn't matter to me and it matters even less to my customer.

Excerpt:

Take my thoughts on this with a huge grain of salt, given my conflict of interest, but I really dislike commitment devices that destroy things — either information or other forms of value. StickK’s anti-charities seem the most egregious, actively harming the world. I’m certainly motivated to not allow the world to become a worse place, so it’s not that it would be ineffective as a commitment contract. Just that I’m also motivated to prevent things that don’t make the world worse in any way, like paying money to a third party (who’s not evil).

No, those handbags and watches are bought simply because they allow the buyer to signal 'status'. If people with less money also get to signal that same status then the original loses its value. That's really all there is to it, a good user experience doesn't come in to play at all (most of that stuff is unusable anyway) and the 'most desirable' bit is exactly that: status.
Sure. Musical calculators were initially made for the blind (so when you press a key, you hear a sound and can tell what's happening.) When you press equals, for example, the calculation happens and the calculator sounds out the tones for the answer - for example, you enter 9x9=81, and you get (9 tone) (multiply tone) (9 tone) (equals tone) and then the calculator sounds out (eight tone) (one tone).

Eventually people started using them as toys or musical instruments, so some calculator companies started making the sounds less robotic and more musical - and now there are "musical calculators".

A few older working class specifically cited being ruled by Germany by stealth. I think that's totally ridiculous and I voted to remain, though I am a millennial and don't know life outside of the EU.

Irish tensions are resurfacing now too. A sticking point is the Irish/Northern Irish border. The government is being propped up by 10 fanatical, conservative unionist MPs (not the Tory kind) and have literally tanked what could have been significant EU progress.

Now the feeling is that the unions hold disproportionate power over the UK government and that doesn't play well with a fragile good Friday agreement.

Same story with Scotland. Now that NI potentially had single market access plus customs union, which those in power in NI didn't want, Scotland wants this too. Independence referendum was won based on "better together" and yet it seems they are now being dragged out of the EU against their will.

What a mess!

What he is talking about is that back when gifs and videos were both postage stamps pushed over modems, gifs won out.

But what changed was that people simply started ripping frames from HD videos, dumping them into gifs and plastering them all over social media.

End result was that the gifs ballooned in size because they now held many more images, and each images was much higher resolution.

What is more wacky is why gifs returned to fashion at all. They were dead for nearly a decade after people stopped doing their own web sites, and used gifs for things like animated "under construction" signs.

In most countries you have no right not to be photographed (by anyone) when in public (by definition being in public is not being in private). I fully support this with the exception of the homeless (and I think it does somewhat support the right to cover your face in public if you wish).

> I am not sure if this justifies the price difference of a $50 fake vs $5,000 Rolex.

I owned a five year old Rolex Submariner and had it for about three years. You could tell it was a solid, well built watch. However, after the first six months, I found it was not keeping very accurate time. Sent it back to Rolex and they fixed it and sent it back. Was fine for another six months, then it started again. Sent it back and was charged $300 for the repair. After another four months it started again and I finally gave up on it and sold it for a fraction of its worth.

This is pretty much par for the course on the high end stuff I've bought over my lifetime. High end (not pro stock) hockey stuff just falls apart and isn't durable. Soccer stuff? Same thing. Dress shoes, suits, clothing? Same thing. High end mountain bikes? Same thing. I had three high end mountain bikes (all different manufacturers) and the derailleurs needed adjustment constantly, the high end Magura hydraulic disc brakes squealed constantly and the Fox forks all leaked after a few months. I was a single track guy so its not like I was doing Red Bull contests either. I got a middle tier Cannondale and have had it since 2006 with little or no issues.

I found that after so many years of being disappointed with "high end" expensive stuff, your best bet is to not get the lowest cost thing or the most expensive, but the middle tier stuff I've always found to be not only durable, but far more dependable.

Now add on a system where there are years where people buy Bitcoin in dense, multi-output exchange transactions, and they suddenly all have to transfer their coins to the exchanges using inefficient 1-output transactions.

Then add on a system where sudden price drops instantly lower the transaction throughput (hashrate, while difficulty takes days to adjust). The straw gets kinked.
