If you're arguing for proper storage of guns, I completely agree with you. If you're arguing that we should reduce gun ownership to save lives, you're ignoring how many lives are saved by private ownership of guns. Unfortunately, no one keeps track of this statistic, but the CDC estimates between 500,000 and 3,000,000 lives are saved in any given year [0]. This study only provides an estimate, but still, compare that to 13,000 firearm related murders [1] and 22,000 suicides [2, Table 6 on page 33]. I think we need more data but from what I've seen so far it seems to me private gun ownership is a net benefit.

It's no "assault on free speech". The right of free speech doesn't mean that private corporations have to be a platform for it.

The right embraced private corporations having "religious and moral rights" with the cake shop and Hobby Lobby cases. This is the other side of the coin.

Kubernetes Networking: Writing Your Own Simple CNI Plug-In with Bash (Tutorial)
Mitra - Cool idea! I was always a bit envious of my Indian and Bangladeshi friends in college who came to campus on Monday with a Tupperware container full of food. Now I can try it out myself. Just ordered some.

FWIW, I really like the website and personally I do like that you sell it in pre-set packs. I don't know my way around non-Americanized Indian food very well and would be happy to try anything - happy to let you all pick what that is at first. It's nice that you let people buy multiples of 1 pack once they find something they really like.

They used to, when they were your servers. Now that they're AWS's server, there can be a 10x price premium, which amplifies the problem introduced by provisioning for scalability at all costs.

When it's nobody's job to worry about costs, it's very easy for them to tend to balloon out of control. Of course, there's not much point in worrying about a $1M cloud bill with $100M in the bank.

I found that doing Brazilian Jujitsu really helps with this; two or three minutes into a session and all other concerns are gone and the relaxation afterwards is great - the world takes a while to come flooding back.

I think TV and video games are a dodgy recommendation in that it's just more time in front of screens - itself not great. Unless you have a pretty wacky working environment you're sitting down or at best at a standing desk. So adding more sedentary activities as a way from unwinding from other sedentary activities is pretty questionable. Not everyone is going to love something as full-on as BJJ but surely 'go for a walk' should be way ahead of 'more screen stuff'.
Exactly. And look at the uproar that the bakery caused with the constant mainstream news coverage back then. But now? Silence, and if not silence, total justification and questioning why Big Tech didn't do it sooner.
One word of advice, capsaicin is an oil. Trying to dull the pain with milk, etc is a waste of time. You need to dissolve the oil off your tongue and for that alcohol is the best solution (no pun intended). Pure spirits work well to remove the capsaicin and then you can follow up with something that will soothe your raw nerve endings. So, German beer may have been the right answer for you at the time.

Look, this isn't that hard. I'm not saying any branch of government isn't corruptible, we're all smart people here and we know that any human organization can be manipulated. But that doesn't change the fact that it's observably true that centralized power structures, like administrative regulation, are much more easily captured than distributed ones. This is basic civics, but sadly that isn't taught anymore. Even so I shouldn't have to tell anyone here why distributed systems are more fault tolerant and robust than centralized ones!
I like the idea of the service. But I am having a hard time trusting it. It does require a verified work email address, which seems logical, else how would they know who works where.

As non-degreed developer who is looking to transition to security work, I was initially excited to see this program but had a similar reaction after looking at the curriculum.

Potential gems on the list might be the OS or networking course if they are run something like MIT's 6.828 with lots of lab coding and perhaps a bit of hand-holding, but if you can just clone last semester's 6.828 repo and get osdev'ing, why drop 10k to spend most of your time on courses that look like yawn central?

I think what I really wanted to see was a lab-focused curriculum for aspiring vulnerability researchers, so perhaps I was bound to be disappointed.

You have to remember that in the time when suburbs were being created, most people in the city did want to escape it. The white flight was a huge change. And once the whites left cities, cities drove out poor people and put them into Projects. For a while later, in the last century, downtowns were pretty much deserts with the wealthy living in pent houses and everyone else either suburbs or the streets. It is only in the last couple of decades that cities have become able to attract the grand-kids of the suburb generations back to the cities. Largely because that is where profitable work is located. It is a feedback loop.

Also humans don't work well on the larger scale. Nimbys exist because that is the scale human people can operate at. A million seconds is 11 days, a billion seconds is almost 32 years. Maybe IBM could use Watson to figure out the housing crisis. A few less variables there to work with than cancer.

If you want an intuitive picture of what the squared amplitude means, it seems that it would suffice to think of it as the fraction of phase space which evolves into the configuration associated with that amplitude.

> the CDC estimates between 500,000 and 3,000,000 lives are saved in any given year [0]

From that link:

> Almost all national survey estimates indicate that defensive gun uses by victims are at least as common as offensive uses by criminals, with estimates of annual uses ranging from about 500,000 to more than 3 million (Kleck, 2001a), in the context of about 300,000 violent crimes involving firearms in 2008 (BJS, 2010).

Firearms being used in self defense =/= lives saved by firearms.

There’s nothing inherently wrong with the technology.

However, doing ML well isn’t really about the ML as much as it’s about getting everything leading up to the ML right. That’s the difference between value-add applications of ML and an expensive mess. IBM didn’t understand that and hence the mess they’re in now with Watson.

I feel extremely curious about the construction costs given that the proposal says the Dugout Loop will transport just 250,000 a year at $1 fares. I suppose if it works the press alone could make the investment worthwhile.

> A different issue is whether defensive uses of guns, however numerous or rare they may be, are effective in preventing injury to the gun-wielding crime victim. Studies that directly assessed the effect of actual defensive uses of guns (i.e., incidents in which a gun was “used” by the crime victim in the sense of attacking or threatening an offender) have found consistently lower injury rates among gun-using crime victims compared with victims who used other self-protective strategies.

Auditions – Doctor Faustus
Auditions for Doctor Faustus are on Wednesday, August 15th, Thursday, August 16th, and possibly Friday, August 17th if necessary. They will start at 6:30 p.m. at Westwind Frame and Gallery, 412 East 2nd street, The Dalles.

Doctor Faustus is a classic tale of a man who sells his soul to the devil and eternal damnation in hell in return for 24 years omnipotence on earth.

There a many great roles for women or men, with many of the roles being non-gender specific such as the 'Seven Deadly Sins' and the Devils themselves - Lucifer, Mephistopheles, and Beelzebub.

It is simply not possible to both cooperate with the Chinese (or, to a lesser extent, any other) government against its citizens and remain transparent. Part of this type of cooperation includes a requirement by the government for opacity. This is easier for less-principled and/or more closed companies. You can only not-cooperate transparently (and even then, only sometimes).

The real problem is you can't have a we'll-publicly-disagree-but-do-it-anyways approach with China like you might elsewhere. There's a reason a CEO might make a public post disagreeing with the approach of one government yet will forever remain mum concerning another.

Just stop requiring growth at all costs, chalk up the China (and military) market as a loss, and continue operating at your massively profitable status quo. It may seem like it's a double standard when other companies have access to those markets sans media backlash, but just recognize the differences are known out here in the masses.
I wonder if anyone here would be so kind as to explain Schrodinger's argument. I'm not grasping it. Is he making a fundamental point about the degrees of freedom an electron can have, delimiting ideas about how a brain can process thought with the help of self-willed electrons? Or is it confined to whether an electron itself can have thought. What point is he making in the debate about whether humans are automata? I'll read it again, but it's subtle and I might not understand quantum mechanics sufficiently to understand it.
Powershell doesn't get any credit for the tab completion when the default behavior for it just makes the verbosity even more of a nuisance. Having tab completion scroll through all the possible completions one at a time doesn't save keystrokes in most cases, especially when there are dozens or hundreds of options that are really long so when you give up on tab completion and decide to type it out manually in full, you have to erase 10-20 characters. The bash-style completion behavior of completing any unambiguous characters then giving you a list of the possibilities would be even more useful for powershell than it is for bash. But Microsoft once again had to throw in gratuitous differences at the cost of usability.
Question 1:

From some key statements;

> The fares are not finalized but will cost around $1.

> it could be possible to increase ridership per game to 2,800 per game

> Between games and events Dugout Loop would transport 250,000 people per year.

>The Boring Company. This project will be 100% privately funded and will require zero taxpayer dollars.

Say we assume full capacity, 2 events a day and travel both ways. With these metrics the annual revenue is: $4,588,000.

There's no way that covers the investment. So what else is happening to make this financially viable? maybe private car use of the loop lift at a premium? stadium co-funding to promote events?

Question 2:

2 of the image look like single line tracks. Are they assuming as its a stadium that all traffic will go one way, then the other later? 2 tunnels? There must be something about this...

...Anyway never been to a city where the underground/metro isnt a great way to get around so keen to see this space develope.
If you're going to do all the work to tunnel under LA, why not just build a conventional subway? A conventional subway would carry orders of magnitude more people - 250,000 people a year is a few percent of the traffic that even a lightly used subway line carries.
I imagine they're planning to lose money on it to help push it through whatever regulators are in the way. Once they have a working proof-of-concept in a city as big as LA, it'll be a much smoother process to expand to other cities because they can just say "I mean, it worked great in LA!".
The age of the software would not reflect the quality of the data. I'm positive that these alerts are updated with new drugs and contradiction logic continuosly.
Wait, so there's no low-pressure component to this project? If I'm reading correctly it's basically a series of high-speed electric shuttles in the tunnel rather than anything like the hyperloop concept.
This technology and the practice of putting transportation underground sounds too good to be true. I'm really curious to see how this plays out. If it works as promised, this will be revolutionary.

This would be an amazing step in the right direction, unless I’m missing something.

Of course, this isn’t a heavy commuter route. In the absence of decent surrounding public transit it seems unlikely to make any real dent in traffic.
You wildly misquote your source, which makes it hard to take your comment as good faith.

The source actually says:

> Almost all national survey estimates indicate that defensive gun uses by victims are at least as common as offensive uses by criminals, with estimates of annual uses ranging from about 500,000 to more than 3 million, in the context of about 300,000 violent crimes involving firearms in 2008.
> On the other hand, some scholars point to a radically lower estimate of only 108,000 annual defensive uses based on the National Crime Victimization Survey.

It is a huge leap to say that approximately every defensive use of a firearm prevented a death. It does not come anywhere close to passing the sniff test, as we don't see unarmed people dying of crime in the massive numbers implied by your misquote.
Exactly? Scarface is saying that the refusal to promote a message is also part of free speech, and an easier case than the refusal to serve gay customers. At best your response is to ask those who have sympathy towards gay people, "Why don't you get angry at laws which suggest that businesses have to serve gay people, even if their religious beliefs tell them that homosexuality is a sin?"

I also wouldn't be surprised if the thinking behind so many Fortune 500 companies is at least due to a calculation of brand posture going into the future. A lot of the companies being discussed at the moment are social media companies, and youth are the ones who can drive a MySpace event.

I also must ask for elaboration as to the Alex Jones brand of conservatism -- does it involve a narrative of white extinction and undeserving blacks? False flag stories about the Sandy Hook shooting? Does he represent American conservatism?

I had the exact same questions. I'm pretty sure the answer to question 1 is hidden in their systems about the originally planned Sepulveda proof of concept tunnel. According to them that one hadn't been planned to take any passengers so it would have been a total loss and poor proof of concept. This tunnel would still be a loss but probably a smaller one and a much better proof of concept and marketing show piece.
