The main skill of Cannonball is to be more reckless than others and see what you can get away with. I don't want to meet some sleep deprived and probably drugged up "racers" on the road. If they want endurance they can do a 24 hour race. If they want a difficult track they can go to the Nuerburgring in Germany and do the 24 our race there. Or just try it in the wet.
Government is always the will of some people.

The question is - cui bono?

Your alternative presumably is the current system, where a few self-selected people, kept in power exclusively by wealth, caste, and social connections - often in defiance of real wisdom or foresight - force everyone else to act in ways that benefit that self-sustaining governing class at the expense of everyone else.
Comments like this make me think the Model 3 is going to be the Ford Model T of electric cars.
I suppose that's technically true (as Hermes would say, that's the best kind of true!), since anything one sends can be trivially intercepted, rewritten &c.

If we're going to default to HTTPS everywhere, though, we really should just issue certificates along with IP addresses & DNS names, rather than layering CAs on top for everything.
Since this is implemented by informing people carrying the recessive genes about each other before marriage or reproduction, it would be a definition of "eugenics" so broad as to fail to match the common denotation of the term that carries the huge connotational baggage. (Note I'm not dealing with dictionary terms here, but how I think people think of it; with such a loaded term here the denotation and connotation becomes harder than usual to separate.)

It would not necessarily be an impossible stretching of the term, but as the vast, vast majority of people would not consider this a problematic solution it doesn't seem like it would really provide any advantage, and would run the risk of watering down the opprobrium attached to the term "eugenics" by including a thoroughly unobjectionable practice.
It may not have been a conscious thing. But I'm firmly of the opinion that this may have been the last election where Republicans were given the chance to reverse things.

Daca, illegal immigrants voting, chain migration, refugees voting, PC control of public debate, leftist biased media and reporting, another 4 rounds of liberals leaving college indoctrinated into leftism, etc. All these things have been steadily causing the deck to be stacked against the right. Without any of it being reversed or stopped, the next election would have been a solid win to Democrats.

Another item I forgot to add to the list: SJW and activist control over highschool and primary schools. I'd argue that as brainwashing the next generation into specific voting patterns.
Some people will always find something to be fussy about.

Especially so in SV where you have neurotic programmers that can't find any more problems to solve.
This one did seem legitimately off to me, but I'll be honest it wouldn't surprise me to learn it was all an act and he was the smartest one of the bunch.
Basically, let's say there's a syscall that takes a user buffer and size and copies it into kernel stack for processing. (This is common.) If you overflow that buffer, you can overwrite the return address in the kernel stack, which you can then launch into ROP.

I assume the downvoters take issue with your comparison between one of the worst genocidal regimes in history to one of the most unassuming, high functioning democracies by using only the similarity in a naming convention that the two different states used.
The sciences show us how to do something. Liberal arts shows us the ramifications of doing said actions.

I know plenty a scientists who'd love to create the next game-changing thing. But philosophy, governance, debate, argument, and understanding are not aspects taught in any good regard in STEM. Or should that thing even be created?

If anything, when I think of liberal arts, I think of the Greats of Rome and Greece. I remember the ancients in India, or the rulers in China. I think of the discussions reported about the Roman Senate. Or how civilizations rise and fall and why. Or of social sciences, why people do certain things as a collective? This all is indeed logic and science, but with many more degrees of freedom and lack of understanding. Liberal Arts is essential to understanding the core of a problem, and not just the numbers and symbolics that it represents.

I had to look that one up, but yes, it is real. This is also artisanal air, made with love: "It's a long and tedious process, you know. We sit in Banff for about 10 hours capturing the air and then after that we bring it back and we have to fill it into these bottles individually."

Will be interesting as not many high profile companies try this back door way of listing.

This seems much more like a forced IPO to get someone cashed out than the typical IPO to raise funds.

One thing to remember if you are investing, is that there will almost certainly be no restrictions on selling stock, meaning that employee's, C-level execs and early investors won't have the typical lock up period.

And since they aren't using an underwriter, there is no back stop for the shares sliding on the first day of trading.

This doesn't do a whole lot to inspire confidence in the company, Look for the CEO to make an announcement that they will be holding their shares, or be prepared to buy into a company while the people on the inside are getting out of.

As a user, I'm really excited for them, as an investor not so much. Hopefully they'll release some good news leading up to their IPO which could be as early as March.

You said different with zero qualifications. Paint colors are different, but that does not imply a moral difference.

Now, assigning meaning to differences is by definition part of a specific moral framework and does not generalize.

To a theoretical "hyper intelligent" 207 dimensional being we may not qualify as sentient. After-all, anything bound by something as meaningless as time is incapable of making decisions and will always respond the same to given stimuli at specific points of space-time. Such linear beings don't actually feel things they simply respond to stimuli much like plants.

AKA Same facts, different interpretation = different moral framework.

PS: Do we save women and children first, or are young warriors more important to long term survival? Same 'fact' different interpretation of that fact.
Far from all hereditary disease are easy to rule based on genetic tests.

You need to differentiate between Mendelian and Complex genetic disorders. While genetic tests are useful to indentiy disease caused by a single allele (Mendelian disorders), they today are inconclusive for many other Complex diseases, like rheumatoid arthritis, with a known genetic component. These disease are multifactorial: the interplay between several genes (variants) and environmental stimuli cause the disease. One of several genetic mutation must be present for the disease to occur, but without an environmental stimulus, the disease will never materialize. As such, even though we have acces to a full genom sequence, genetic tests are inherently limited and thus inconclusive in determining risk for many diseases.

>CRT in the old days, especially Sony's Trinitron CRT were extremely well designed and well made. Pretty much like ALL "Made in Japan" electronics sold were designed to last.

Yes, once upon a time, with the exclusion for portable devices of course (in which Sony excelled as well, if anyone remembers the first series of Walkman, it had the "wow" factor as it was only a little bigger than the cassette), electronics did actually "go by the weight", it meant that "better" hardware was put in it, both in the electronics and in the case.

Only a few days ago, while attempting (vainly) to put some order in a storage room, I happened to move a (relatively recent) compact stereo player, you know one of those that has radio, cassette player and CD player + amplifier in a little cube of 20x20x20 cm, and right after that I moved a venerable ol'time Marantz amplifier.

I simply applied the wrong amount of force, at first I had the impression that the amplifier was glued to the shelf.

Yes, it happened once a long time ago. The job interview was held at a beautiful office but when I arrived at my workplace (my fault that I did not ask where exactly my seat would be) I saw a different building a squalid conditions, dirty and without heating. I resigned at the end of my first day
My buddy had the XBR version, now that I think about it. It even had a cable card slot. What ever happened to cable cards?
To contrast this, in the last bug bounty page I set up I strongly suggested researchers gpg encrypt email to submit their findings. I really didn't want sensitive issues directly exposed to our entire support team.

As it turns out, the gpg encrypted emails which were only a small fraction of the ones we received, and made up the substantial majority of actionable issues we rewarded on.

If a security researcher is not capable of encrypting email to a public key, they probably are not bringing me anything worth my time to read.
>Second, take a look at what happens to people who do leave the government. Very often, their salaries go up in the private sector.

There's a serious selection bias here. You'd only expect people to leave if their new job is better.

Why aren't the DMV clerks clamoring for walmart jobs? Because we probably overcompensate a lot of government employees and undercompensate others. This is another example of government incompetence and I bet they'll double down. Someone right now is trying to increase the pay grades, I promise it won't be enough to retain NSA talent but it'll make some high school congratulate in a cushy position very well off.
I used to live in Paris which is definitely a dense city, and even though there is much more subsidized housing there than in San Francisco, it is still a tough place for working class people to live.
As I mentioned in the other thread yesterday database and database like applications are going to be hit particular hard. Even more so on fast flash storage. Double whammy compared to apps just doing network IO.

And while databases try to minimize the number of syscalls they still end up doing a lot of them for read, writeout, flush.
No i meant explicitly about the part i quoted: the immediate mode. Stuff like glBegin, glVertex3f, glEnd, etc. Those will not get you a syscall per vertex, they will be buffered by the OpenGL implementation. Modern OpenGL implementations, at least those by Nvidia and AMD (and i also suspect Mesa too) do a lot of optimizations on the client side.

Unless we are going to, as a society, agree that people who don't pay don't get treated for disease, then it is a cost-forcing scheme whichever path is chosen.

Before the ACA those that paid for insurance were forced to shoulder the cost of those that didn't. Now, those who think they don't want to pay for health insurance are forced to pay one way or another (though I think the penalty is too small).

I find it hard to feel bad for people that don't want to pay for their own health risk or who think they don't have any.

I went down that road and it's certainly not as comfortable as macOS. The biggest thing is that the Linux environment is more or less separated from the actual desktop environment.

For instance, if I install Atom on Windows, I can't just pop open my WSL terminal and install gulp or whatever and have Atom find it. On a Mac, it's as simple as a `brew install whatever` and then any GUI application can use the newly installed program.

If Microsoft burned the Windows kernel to the ground and started with BSD or something so that Windows was actually Unix-y under the hood, I'd switch in a heartbeat.

I would add that these kinds of "Normal users click accept/next" are how "offers" on software gets installed.

Case in point: uTorrent. Download and "install". You will, generally, get 2 screens that install junk. On one screen you can click "Decline". On another, you can click "Skip". These screens are between all the normal "which folder", "do you accept" and "thank you" screens.

Case in point: Adobe Reader... download it from their website WITHOUT unchecking the "Optional Offers". You then have a Reader with Benefits.

I consider myself "trained" and "knowledgeable" and I occasionally get bit by these... sidecars... included with desired software.

I have no faith that 95% of people know how to sidestep these "landmines". Decline? that means "don't install". Skip? Why would I skip an important part of the installation.
As someone who has lost money to PayPal, I have a hard time agreeing with the 75%, especially when you consider all the caveats associated with it. That said, I won't argue the point.

I could swear that the rush for solar via Solar City has dropped precipitously. It seems like those who want it have it at this point. Its business model is also heavily dependent on US grants, and has seen some major downturns in terms of litigation and has been operating at a net loss for its lifetime. Let's put it closer to 50%

The boring company is simply trying to make underground highways - a task which makes very little practical sense in a world where highways already exist, and their downsides are well known. Not to mention, no execution or proof of concept exists.

As for the Hyperloop, again with the lack of execution or proof of concept. Anybody can make a whitepaper, but Elon Musk has put his weight behind the concept, to no practical end. But sure, let's remove it because you're right, he made no promises behind it; didn't start a company around it.

We're still only around 40%.

If you overflow that buffer, you can overwrite the return address in the kernel stack, which you can then launch into ROP.

The crucial point here being that there must already be an existing overflow vulnerability in the kernel. Knowing all the addresses is no use if you can't force execution to go to them.
