Why is the CHP publicizing this? I'd assume they'd want to keep it a secret. Unless it's just security theater.
PG is honoring the laws of the US and, by extension, any country that had an appropriate treaty with the US. Which includes Germany.
You can hold a S-exp in memory such that you don't have anywhere near enough memory left to scan it with even your condensed explicit stack.

> That's why quality parsers use an explicit stack as well.

Observation: that rules out the entire description of the ANSI CL reader from being quality, haha.
I had wondered when people would feel upset enough against the megacorps to attack them, but I didn't think it would happen in the near future
I was interested in the domain name, less so in the content. It's basically a vanity site for a researcher. Not a particularly large amount of HN related content.
Nobody stripped ads offf YouTube videos - Google doesn’t provide an API you can use to display them in the first place and they had no desire to make a native application themselves to remove the necessity.

The background audio stuff, sure - that happened.
Though close relatives marrying is bad for the children's health, it's actually a slight benefit for the grandchildren, great-grandchildren, etc.

Why that's true: The reason inbreeding is bad is that the child is at risk of inheriting two copies of a nasty recessive mutation, in a region of their genome where both versions came from the same recent ancestor. However, if the child goes on to successfully reproduce, it's more likely that they had zero copies than two--and in that case the grandchildren have zero copies, which is good for them.
Sure, but you can do that without being dominant at all! When it specifically comes to the issue of dominance, I'm not sure if Amazon is really there.

I think that there is a cultural issue to consider as well. Android culturally tends to be a locked-down platform that takes control away from the user. GNU/Linux is about technology Freedom. You can unlock Android devices with a significant amount of effort, but it would be better to start with something that is fundamentally open.

It seems like tablets would break easily, where it's easier and cheaper to replace small screens on Raspberry Pis.
My favorite was the 190mph Volvette. A twin turbo corvette engine stuffed into a Volvo Station wagon. Pretty stealthily too.https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=GFrPjMVhP04 and https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=XBu6STlhh8Q
It was the invention of the automobile that made it possible to stop marrying cousins.
I may be just a scare tactic to get the person to stop doing it. If the person keeps things random then it's unlikely they'll be able to catch then without a heap of luck. Pellet guns can go quite far and be made pretty silent.
I have read Black Edge, and Cohen's early scrape with insider trading in 1980s would seem to imply that his entire career has been based on getting insider information would it not?

As to Raj you may be right I haven't followed as closely.

Whether insider trading should be illegal and what the lines are exactly is absolutely open to debate, but it seems clear that Cohen at least built his business to maximize his insider information edge.

Matt Levine has some good writing on the subject of insider information for the curious.
I’m curious who do you think is suffering now as a result of drought and diminishing ecological resources? Who is going to suffer through famine and drought? Your point is valid, but only insofar as people who can’t defend themselves always suffer. Every course of action hurts the group you’re concerned about, but the most likely to succeed and least damaging is conservation.
Self driving flying cars (which will be essential for mass market adoption) make an excellent weapon. No one needs to blow themselves up, just the car.
For many years, X was China. I have no information about whether PG approved of that or not. PG follows the laws of the country in which it is based.
This is Tesla's view on people who want to DIY with Tesla parts/salvage: https://gas2.org/2014/09/27/tesla-wont-activate-mans-salvage...

Of course, the person in the article probably went low-level enough into the parts not to need the Tesla's software activated, and that's why he didn't manage to run afoul of this.

He was right to some extent.
Yes, but they are in the helicopter, so won't want to blow it up.

The killer combination is self-flying cars (which as I said will be a prerequisite for mass adoption). No one needs ride it for it to be a weapon, unlike a helicopter.
No, you keep them secret so you can stay in business. If you actually cared about the public, you’d be reporting them to Apple.

It’s very easy. I host official mirrors for a bunch of open source projects at https://mirrors.sorengard.com.

You set up Apache on a web server you control, configure virtual host settings in the Apache config files, then put your files to be hosted in something like /var/www/ and point Apache to it. Then set up Rsync by running the rsync daemon and setting an /etc/rsyncd.conf file that configures where the files are located and who can access them.

For example, let’s say you wanted to set up a mirror for the Ubuntu Package Archive. You could do that step by step with the following resources:

1. https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-inst...

2. https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-...

3. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Rsyncmirror

Maybe I’ll write up a short guide and throw it up somewhere. It’s really pretty straightforward. FTP is unfortunately trickier than HTTP and Rsync, but vsftpd removes a lot of the warts.
I see this come up fairly often, and it baffles me each time. I've probably spent an average of $50+/week on Amazon for the past several years and have never once received a counterfeit item. What items are people buying that are so frequently counterfeit?
Or... they could just run this entire thing using ScyllaDB on a single mid-size VM with local SSDs with headroom to spare. Put 1 in each DC for active/active replication. No enterprise contract needed.
We live in an era where people will assert that Standard Oil wasn't a monopoly. If a corporate action doesnt directly raise consumer prices, under modern legal thinking it isn't a monopoly.

The most ironic or telling thing about Amazon is that Walmart has now become the punchy underdog in comparison.
A fitting metaphor for style over substance!
Yes, murder rate in Brazil is far higher than any other developed country, and this is not related to firearms selling policy. Trying to link firearms selling policy to the crime level in Brazil is misleading and irresponsible, as the issues are further down and start with inequality and lack of proper education.

Violent crimes over there (Brazil) and homicide rates are quite high, not only because innocent people are killed every day, but also because of the war between drug gangs/cartels, so we're also talking about criminals killing each other.

And sorry, I gave the impression that only long guns were used to mass shooting, if anyone look at the history of mass shooting in Brazil, they will see that handguns were used on the latest big one.

Death rates from cancer also seem to be similar, incidentally. There are countries where cancer kills a notably smaller number of people than in the US, but Ireland isn’t one of them: http://www.cancerresearchuk.org/health-professional/cancer-s...
I honestly couldn't speak to whether or not many of the items I've bought on Amazon are counterfeit. The example I saw in the article recently was a headphone anchor, and they had copied the packaging. I couldn't tell you, if I bought a headphone anchor, if the packaging looked like crud because it was counterfeit, or because the vendor who made it used cheapy packaging. Could you have bought counterfeit products that work "well enough", and you didn't know it?

I do generally just buy whatever's the cheapest price, and rarely look to see if the brand and seller name are the same (or if there's a seller with the same name as the brand). I'm kinda interested in paying more attention going forward though, so we'll see.

Right, it’s in the public interest to keep open vulnerabilities that China and Russia can exploit.
It can be really tempting to build teams around capabilities, not problems. For example, a data science team can hire data scientists, invest in data tools, talk and hold standards about data science practices, etc. BUT, if you do this, solving any problem requires gathering people from many teams with the various skills required.

I'm a big fan of product teams that include people from several functions, organized to solve the same problem. Many internal functions can be characterized a products with internal customers. The need to promote functional expertise can be met by guilds or functional reporting lines outside the product teams.
The 'light sport' category exactly supports the analogy to sports cars. Two seats and an impractical cargo capacity.

The limiting factor for citizen access to the sky is aircraft availability not pilot licensure. A Cessna 172's engine is slightly more sophisticated than an air-cooled VW's but the same basic 1930's technology. A new one starts at $70,000 because there is only a single source. There is only a single source because FAA regulations create a moat. Again, there are only 210,000 non-carrier aircraft in the US, the sky is only accessible to a fraction of the one percent by regulatory intent.
I think the main reason we can't break down cellulose is because we don't have the enzymes to do so. It's not as if cellulose is actually all that different to polysaccharides we are able to digest, it simply has beta 1->4 glycosidic bonds [1] between the glucose molecules instead of alpha 1->6 glycosidic bonds that are digestable by humans.

edit: upon some more skimming of the review article, even with the enzymes we may not have the conditions in which cellulose could be degraded, hence the "four stomachs" and other methods.

Flying is available to the general public through the private, recreational, and sport pilot licensing programs. The main barrier to obtaining one of these licenses is the fuel, aircraft rental, and instructor labor costs involved in practicing.
“Celts” normally refers to people from regions with a historically Celtic language and cultural influence, these days; it’s not meaningfully an ethnic group today.
+1 on Puppeteer. Using it for something now. For small projects, the ability to have the JS you want to run within the context of the page itself live side by side with your browser instrumentation code feels magical. Head and shoulders nicer experience than in cases where half of your logic is second class code-as-a-string (e.g. trying to work directly with Gremlin Server from a non-JVM language by POSTing Groovy-as-a-string)
Dominant or not dominant is not the main issue; whether or not Amazon is abusing it's market power is. For a fact we know that force is exerted by Amazon from a different market resulting in a strategical advantage for Amazon and a heap of deadweight loss; something that ought to be illegal in all shapes and forms when created intentionally & mostly is. ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deadweight_loss )
You need more than that. Find a typical LaTeX document and compile with and without \usepackage{microtype}. The difference is enormous. You need character expansion (small expansion to the characters themselves) to do it.

A few thoughts, positive and negative.

First, these cars would be easy targets for AA batteries. I would have to assume thst getting to close to a stadium full of people in one would lead to a shoot down, or remote shutdown.

Second, why bombs? What you can pack into a small aircraft is not the makings of a really impressive bomb, unless you have military grade high explosives. Now on the other hand, you could pack loads of nerve agents, chlorine, vessicants, or biological agents into one.

Third, you’d have to know enough about the hardware and software to modify it to fly empty, and violate restricted airspace. That might be a hell of a barrier to entry.

Fourth, these things could be heavily networked to function, so a rogue taxi could be taken over remotely, because it’s already remotely controlled.

Fifth, does the FBI care why you’re building a bomb or milling anthrax? Whatever your delivery system, they’re monitoring precursors and equipment you’d need. Air taxi, truck, drone, dudes with backpacks... the delivery system isn’t the chokepoint.
Seems like every major part of the internet is under attack by the media, the courts, governments and the elite. Every day, it's another major part of the internet having to defend itself.
Also PhantomJS was a single statically linked binary with no dependencies that you could literally drop into a server and run scripts at once.
Read the story about Amazon authorizing fake Chromecast devices to be sold, while blocking the real ones. Mind you the devices look exactly the same (minus better bandwidth.) Read some of the reviews from folks buying the imitation, knowing it wasn't the real deal, but nevertheless bought them because "where else could they buy from?". Those comments and now this make me wonder how strong Amazon has become to decide what consumers can buy or not.
If you go to the "books" section, you can get a free PDF of Steen and Tanenbaum's book on distributed systems. Also a book on graph theory, and one on computer and network organization.

I don’t have statistics as it was used in my lab at home which I have recently torn down and begun rebuilding (new servers, new hypervisor and not enough of a crap given to v2v the VM’s I had instead of reinstalling).

From memory though, MongoDB didn’t use much since it mostly stored configuration for Graylog, the Graylog processes themselves took up a couple hundred MB and elasticsearch ate up everything I allowed it to (typical behavior of a database though).

I didn’t bother tweaking any of the settings and just relied on memory pressure of the VM everything ran on to limit resource usage, if you’re keeping lots of history and need fast access to it then obviously you’d need to give ES more RAM to work with.
> Proper adjectives are for British English only.

No, they aren't.

> Even so, I don't see them often nor do I know of any current English grammar texts or thought leaders that recognize proper adjectives.

Chicago Manual of Style and AP Stylebook, two of the leading American style guides, both recognize proper adjectives.
You can root your phone and believe you’re monitoring outgoing traffic. Your phone hardware could easily be surreptitiously sending data over 4G and you would likely be unable to verify.

Also why do you imagine that an echo is fundamentally unable to be rooted?
> Is that organization somehow affiliated with project gutenberg? Or did it simply use the name, which gutenberg probably doesn't care to trademark and wouldn't have the funds to legally enforce anyway.

The failure to protect their trademark in Germany would actually demonstrate that they are not operating in Germany.

i've already seen that. Try buying some products that are not 365 (the WF private label.) The march has already started and is accelerating. Consumers beware1
Splunk’s not a bad piece of software, I just prefer open source options before proprietary solutions where feasible (which is why I don’t use EFK, I refuse to pay money for security and I think it’s bullshit that Elastic has made that part of their business model with the xpack) but for small environments the free version can get you far.
Yeah...nucleolin is pretty ubiquitously expressed in most cells. How specific is their aptamer (antibody?) ?

Additionally, this is a similar idea to chemo embolization procedures (something I know is done in the US for some liver metastasis, but is being investigated for other solid tumors), where a catheter delivers a massive dose of chemotherapy at an artery supplying the tumor, and then closes that artery off.
I wish I could give you points or karma or something for that excellent punmanship!
I can understand why some people might want to down vote the above comment. However, the comment by the physicist was made in a public lecture and as far as I can tell he was/is a supporter of the "dark" matter concept.

In thinking about the follow-up comment I made, I was pondering why people and scientists in particular get upset about others who object or show problems with their preferred models and theories.

In real terms, our understanding of the universe around us is extremely limited, as are our theories and models. Yet, it seems to me that we get so caught up in wanting to be right that we forget that we are on a path or voyage of discovery. There are so many instances in relatively recent history over various ideas, theories and models becoming anathema to the "consensus view" that we seem to have lost the excitement for discovery.

Over the decades, I have come across people who started out being excited about science but as the years passed, they grew disillusioned with it as they saw various goings on within their fields.

Instead of saying that it is okay for our theories and models to wrong and that anomalies should be investigated, it seems to be (at least with my experience) that the "party line" must be adhered to.

As I have said in other places, science and its methodologies are agnostic to your own personal belief systems. You can do science irrespective of whether you are and atheist, pagan, deist, communist, capitalist, moslem, buddhist, hindu, christian, jew, humanist or anything other specific bent.

The theories and models you derive may be based on your perspective, but the processes you use to develop them should be the same. How you view and resolve the data collected in your experiments will depend heavily on your basic viewpoint and often you will not challenge those assumptions and viewpoints. Others might though.

Science is a wonderful tool to discover more about our universe, but it is a tool that has its limits and limitations. Let's get back to making science exciting for everyone and that there is so much more to discover.
Presumably both.

Are you seriously questioning potentially biasing factors affecting an internet quiz?
I totally understand that. It’s just not really the scenario proposed.

You say this as if browsers invented floats. Pretty sure TeX has knowledge of floats. Would have to double check, as I am used to LaTeX. These are not new terms to publishing.

Edit: Saw in a following post that TeX doesn't have direct primitives for what are commonly called floats. \midinsert and the like aren't quite the same, and while \parshape is hella powerful, it isn't the same either. I'm still skeptical that these aren't powerful enough. And I'm still fairly certain LaTeX does have floats, but I was wrong on TeX.
But the problem with that is that the basic assumption is that less energy usage means better for the environment ... except of course ...

First of all, that flies in the face of economic logic. Specifically Google "Jevon's paradox" for an explanation. So first of all, this reasoning just isn't true.

Second, you want to use things that cost less energy ? That's easy : use the cheapest possible thing. By necessity it will have less energy usage, since energy still is the major cost in pretty much every product.

But when you look at the Green movement, you see the exact opposite. The Green movement has very little success among the poor. It's a rich person's game ... and so they have plenty of products they push, Tesla's for example, that are absolutely not good for the environment, but are a high-cost way of "proving" you care for the environment, which of course is a very good way of achieving the exact opposite.

But I’d spend nearly an hour round tripping to Best Buy including commute and checkout. This is not a win for things I don’t need urgently.

I seriously doubt it’s a win for the environment either. It cannot be more efficient for me to drive a vehicle to go pick up a small package than for UPS to put the package on a truck with hundreds of others.
