So, if I understand you correctly, the cost of apprehending criminals should be borne by those who would benefit most from their capture (i.e. the victims)?

Does this mean that victims of stalking or criminal threats should pay extra for the extra police activity required to protect them? Should neighborhoods with higher crime rates pay a hefty tax hike to cover costs? We want to be fair, right?

Put a gasoline generator in the frunk and run an extension cord to the charging port. You'll probably get 50-60 MPG. (Teslas cannot leave the Park gear while charging, so a workaround is needed.)

...unless you wanted to retrofit a Toyota eCVT onto a Model S. The Toyota eCVT is quite remarkable in combining electric and mechanical drivetrains entirely through planetary gear ratios, without any shifting. John Kelly at Weber State University has many excellent videos describing these transmissions.[0]

https://seer.cancer.gov/statfacts/html/colorect.html

Approximately 4.3 percent of men and women will be diagnosed with colorectal cancer at some point during their lifetime, based on 2012-2014 data.

Your chance (roughly) goes from 4.3% to 5% if you eat bacon (and salumi, prosciutto, etc) regularly. Whether or not you personally consider this small or large, it seems like a pretty straightforward cost/benefit analysis.
The Chromecast SDK for Android works on devices without Play Services? Since when?

The Chromecast SDK allows Amazon to receive Chromecast streams on the Fire TV? Since when?

Cause from what I see here, half of the SDK’s terms ban casting without the SDK, and the SDK itself doesn’t work on devices without Play Services such as the Kindle devices, nor does it work to receive streams.

You’re spreading bullshit again, as every (x|g)oogler has in the other Chromecast thread.

Give me an open source library or full protocol documents I can use to send and receive chromecast streams, so I can stream to my raspberry pi and send streams from a non-Google device, and your argument will have merit.
How to Grow as an Engineer (Working Remotely)
With "blocking access", you mean, they took the Android Open Source Project AOSP, compiled it, and added a few apps without removing any functionality or APIs.

It is not Amazon’s fault that the Android Compatibility Test Suite requires the availability of proprietary Google code, and that the AOSP itself does not pass the CTS.

It’s Google’s fault that Android’s open source version isn’t even considered Android anymore, nor does it have even a working email app anymore. It’s Google’s fault that over the last few years, the AOSP search app, music app, calendar app, contacts app, and finally even the phone app were all dropped and lost support.

I was actually just reflecting last week on Nintendo's approach to the console wars and how good of an idea it was for them to not chase higher power and graphics.

These tricks they've used are truly awesome and the way they construct their games less for realism and more for the joy of the game has meant they've always stayed more mainstream than an Xbox or Playstation ever has, starting in particular with the Wii.

I've gotta say these tricks are super cool. Makes me wonder how tricks like this could be brought over into mobile phones with their similarly limited power (though differently capable architecture).
An ISP block would also only block the entire site. This was not the intention of the court otherwise they would have done that instead.

The court only wanted some books blocked, not the entire site, because under german copyright those books are not yet public domain.

Rectangle vs circle isn't the point of this thread, as I understand it. It’s that the calculated width of text determines the width of a float when the float has no specified width. Here is a fiddle demonstrating what I understood people were talking about regarding floats, although it is a different thing than the other jsfiddle in this thread is showing: https://jsfiddle.net/1wj3efkm/

Also, everything on the web is a rectangle, but that hasn't stopped people from hacking around this (https://meyerweb.com/eric/css/edge/slantastic/demo.html), and there is even a draft web standard to give shape to text (https://drafts.csswg.org/css-exclusions-1/), but only Microsoft has implemented it (https://caniuse.com/#feat=css-exclusions).
You have a very weird definition of balanced choice. If I were given a choice between working or not and would receive full pay and benefits either way, I'd stop working. As much as I would like to be able to make such a choice, it's not a balanced one. The different pay and benefits are how we balance the choices to reflect not just your individual preferences but the needs of society.

This is only true of the deprecated one, which is also misnamed. The community is rightly re-using the name for the behaviour shown above. See list-t on hackage, or the implementation that comes with Pipes.

Also disgusting. I tried a rinse aid on a new washer without a heating element, and instead of simply covered in water they were now also slick to the touch. They also stank with a headache inducing chemical smell. I'd end up having to hand rinse them.

In the end I figured out I needed to move my dishwasher a half inch forward to make steam ventilation easier. I also try to remember to prop open the door when the cycle's over to vent even more steam to get top shelf plastic items dryer than my previous dishwasher with a heating element.

They still have to comply with the court ruling, i.e. at least block those 18 books in Germany, as they aren't The Pirate Bay.

Not necessarily. Historically (though I couldn't find recent hard data in 60 seconds of searching the nets) cars have been safer [1][2], and in particular, less likely to roll over in an accident. Furthermore, when a SUV or truck collides with a car, it's more dangerous for the occupants of the car than in a car-to-car collision [3].

Why do you assume they aren't working on it?

Big companies move slowly. I doubt Amazon could roll something like this out without 5+ years of development - possibly longer depending on how many times the department gets reorg'd.
>They’d had an incredible run: in the final tally, they had grossed nearly $27 million from nine years of playing the lottery in two states. They’d netted $7.75 million in profit before taxes, distributed among the players in GS Investment Strategies LLC.

>The lottery had worked how it was designed to work. In fact, as one financial reporter for Reuters would argue in the days after the report’s release, Cash WinFall was possibly more fair than other lottery games, because it attracted rich players as well as poor ones. Instead of taxing only the poor, it taxed the rich too.

If you're making a profit, you aren't being taxed. Winfall is, in fact less fair - because not only do poor people lose money, but rich people gain money.

No, "the" NHS does not cover the UK. For one thing there are four seperate NHSs for each nation (Scotland, NI, Wales, and England).

It's incorrect to say that the English NHS is a monolithic thing. It isn't.

The NHS is regional. It's split into regions by "clinical commissioning groups". There are 32 CCGs in London. These are independent from each other, and from the rest of the UK.

http://officelondonccgs.org.uk/what-is-clinical-commissionin...

> Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) were created following the Health and Social Care Act (2012), replacing Primary Care Trusts on 1 April 2013. They are clinically-led statutory NHS bodies responsible for planning and commissioning health care services in their local area. There are currently 207 CCGs in England.

True bullshit yes.
Pretty sure there's nothing that tech companies have done that justifies shooting at them.
Neither Steem nor Nano seem to be a supercomputer with arbitrary computation.

I'm not very familiar with either of them, but Steem seems to be a non-centralized database of reddit-like posts. This doesn't seem to be offloading arbitrary computations to others like OP wants to do.

Nano also doesn't seem to be offloading arbitrary computations to others.

Ethereum does allow arbitrary computations, but it is not offloading, it is requiring every node to rerun every computation, which is obviously much less efficient than a single centralized computer doing the computation.
It’s not a mistake. Tesla needs high margins on every car they sell, both for expansion and because it’s the last unmet requirement of Elon’s compensation package (margins at least 30% for four quarters).

Therefore, no parts/drivetrain unless they’re going into vehicles that can command the necessary premium. It’s not a legal issue; if you want the parts, you’ll need to buy the whole car and tear it down.
When I was at college, in a mainly male course (Mech Eng) our professors had already solved all social issues by establishing links with the Speech Therapy department (or maybe they made their first move, I don't know).

Tho' I guess this is only really possible at a college that makes an effort to be 50:50 across its entire student population.

All the cultures that exist today will die, no matter what actions we take today. People see cultural continuation, but if we hopped in a time machine and went back 100 years, none of us would fit in.

I understand the urge to preserve things we appreciate, but it's not possible to preserve living things.

This is exactly what I was looking for.
After searching on ebay for the HP 7550/7475a i noticed they are generally only available in the US. Since the shipping costs and import duties to the EU are really high for US-ebay products and most of them did not guarantee it would work I started looking into alternatives.

So I tried my luck on the 'Drawing Machines'...
But they are (in my opinion) very slow, suffer from the same 'do your own maintenance/support' like current 3D printers and brands like AxiDraw, Eleksmaker or Mackerblocks are crazy expensive compared to the 3D printers which contain much more electronics and material.

Also looking into their 'boards' I noticed they use different firmwares and mostly leaned on SVG/Inkscape/Python and i'd rather have the HP-GL to mess around instead of getting lost into this firmware/library rabbit hole.

Then I stumbled on the Silhouet Curio while looking through youtube videos. It has so many options.. whole 'home' businesses are build around this device.
Looking closer into the electronics I noticed it uses a proprietary language/driver.
However it does have a small active tech community that was able to reverse engineer the protocol and created an Inkscape plugin.. but that will make it on par with the drawing machines, and I'd rather have a documented protocol from the get go (like HP-GL).

I almost gave up on my dream of owning a plotter and tinkering with fractals and the HP-GL on a rainy Sunday afternoon.
Until I decided to read this thread that started it all once again and read your comment about the USCutter, this thing is exactly the right price and seems to actually use HP-GL, awesome, my search continues.

Microvesting
I probably used the wrong terminology here. What I meant really is avoiding (minimizing) disk I/O. (Others have already pointed out how k avoids I/O with main memory by staying resident in a CPU cache.)

Ideally I would prefer a system with sufficient RAM, without the need for "short-term" disk storage and thus without the need for virtual memory. Because today, I have the RAM I need. I have no requirement for short-term disk storage.

But like the rest of us, I use kernels that date back to a different era. These are kernels that assume insufficient RAM, the presence of a disk and the need for a "swap device" to do work. Disk I/O is a major part of that paradigm and has been embraced by software authors.

To me, disk is slow. Even SSD. I seek a different paradigm, not one still focused on secondary storage. k is the closest thing I have found.
