This is false. According to the Income Tax department's own admission, it could only get ~1100 people to pay such a penalty between April and November 2017. I've cited a source for this in another reply to you above.

Most people with black money exchanged their currency notes at a 10% to 20% cost via services that laundered via corrupt employees at banks or routing through newly opened accounts of poor people.
I've tried to 'get into' Shakespeare a number of times, and have recently started another attempt. I'm going through the plays from the beginning and quite enjoying them. I actually don't agree that the comedy is that funny, and I find the plots completely over-the-top.

The thing is, I've seen enough films at this point in my life that even when I see new material, I get the sense that I've seen it before. Shakespeare's stories might be very predictable, but instead of giving much thought to the plot, you focus more on getting into the heads of the characters in the moment. They are vehicles for the universal human feelings: jealousy, love, lust, loneliness, elation, depression, mourning etc.

And then the way Shakespeare describes this is so rich. This is one way in that reading the plays is more rewarding than watching them, because in our day you need more time to parse the sentences, to look up archaic words (or those whose meaning has changed) and Classical references. But I find that putting in that work enriches my own English, and is an entertaining puzzle on its own .
How are the drones different from a simple bomb or missile then? You might as well just build a smaller SDB with more strikes. The vast majority of these drone weapons boil down to the concept of a guided bomb. Drones have a limited operational time measured in minutes and they can only attack once. The only difference to conventional bombs is that smaller explosives cause less collateral damage.

If we can postpone the problem by decades, I would consider that a huge win. Maybe we could control fusion by then. Also, nuclear plays fairly well with renewable energy sources, many of which are also getting cheaper (especially solar).

If we take global warming serously, I see absolutely no reason that we should continue to burn coal, except that it is a bit cheaper than nuclear given the current safety regulations for nuclear.

Let's agree to ban coal, and then we can discuss to what extent we should add nuclear energy capacity to replace at least some of it.

As for reducing the population, I'm curious about how exactly you think we could achieve that?
> Fail fast is an important principle, but in my opinion fail hard is fairly important too. If your program explodes every time a bug happens you're more likely to fix them. If it merely doesn't do the thing it's supposed to it's easy to miss and easier to ignore.

Indeed.

Having witnessed a couple of disastrous mishaps because someone didn't properly check return codes in their C code, I'd argue it's even worse than that. You can't predict the myriad of wrong ways your System will behave after an ignored error because things that were implicitly taken for granted aren't true anymore. And those are the types of errors that come with a great cost since a) you might not be aware of them the next few months and b) they are usually not easy to find in an automated fashion.
Well, once someone has 1510 drones capable of taking a carrier out of battle, they'll just toss a few dozen smaller turrets on the carrier that fire birdshot at full auto.
They charge $$$ per message sent (for businesses). I suppose this is how they will monetize WhatsApp. Slightly disappointed since Telegram and other competitors do not charge money for this service. But Whatsapp is so big and accessible in the west that little choice remains for businesses if they want their eCommerce/chatbot platform to actually succeed.
There is an issue.

The big problem with Professional "Faraday" cages/boxes/bags - set aside how much they are efficient - is power supply, you need to provide power to the device in them.

A modern smartphone when isolated from network will start scanning all it can scan to try and re-gain a connection, the battery will go down much faster than in "idle" mode.

And battery duration in "normal" condition is already scarce enough.

I hear an assertion that Brexit was promoted because it is divisive. Without knowing what was done and what he means by what he claims, it is hard to come to a non-knee-jerk reaction. If you think Brexit is a disaster in principle, this is catnip. If you don't, not so much.

If you put a law like this, why even have a justice system? Either you are guilty of piracy or you are guilty of not securing enough your computer.

Having a case where you are guilty whatever you say makes no sense, especially for something where the damages to society are very abstract and not proven, like piracy.

It's better being there with "less tax" than not being there at all. Many countries have benefited strongly from being tax havens, either for companies to having their accounting HQs there, or for black money to sit safely and clean itself -- including countries like Singapore, Switzerland and Luxembourg.

Heck, Britain itself has a lot of that already:

If you zoomed us forward a century from today, with present day technology, and assume the worst case scenario for climate models we'd still be perfectly fine. The most impactful practical effects would be the changing of coastlines and more severe weather conditions. It's not the end of the world.

Now enter technology. Think about where we were a century ago technologically. Consider that in many ways technology today is accelerating even faster than it was then. Imagine now where we'll be in a century from now. Nobody would from 1918 would be able to guess what 2018 would look like, from a technological point of view, and I'm certain nobody in 2018 can even imagine what 2118 will look like from the same metric. I mean we are already today approaching the level of technology required to live on other planets which are completely and absolutely inhospitable. In the worst case scenarios of climate change, Earth would still be a utopia by comparison. And then enter in near future ideas like geo-engineering, atmospheric manipulation, and so on.

So I don't think it's smart to run a species level experiment on seeing what happens if we just keeping pumping out CO2, but the worst case scenario is both survivable and improbable. It could even end up changing us vastly for the better. The Black Death is something no one would have ever wanted, yet it paradoxically accelerated, if not sparked, the change that nearly everybody would have wanted of a transition away from feudal society to a more free society.
It's ... not that simple ...
A good example of such a feedback loop are computers. It is impossible to think of modern physics without them, on the experimental side at least.

Another example are computers themselves. You can't build computers without computers, so they are already kind of building themselves, with us humans using as evolutionary slaves/hosts.

most shocking part is the NDAs with cities for the HQ2 bids require local governments adherence to dynamic pricing contracts. For one CA school district, that system would make them pay 12% more. So on top of the big and extended tax breaks cities have to give to win over Amazon, along with the exceptions to zoning restrictions that most builders have to adhere to, that's not enough. They also have to buy from amazon at inflated prices. Not a bad deal, if you're Amazon.
My thoughts exactly: the Arduino is about the same level of complexity as 1980s 8-bit machines.

As the author of the article said, "In 1983... home computers were unsophisticated enough that a diligent person could learn how a particular computer worked through and through."
> I was thinking the country would stave off becoming a second Venezuela

That's an exaggeration. Brazil is nowhere near becoming a second Venezuela. The current crisis would have to keep on for at least another 20 years before that, which is extremely unlikely.

Regular life in Brazil continues as usual (unorganized), despite the crisis and it's been getting a bit better lately (not enough to fix the last 4-6 years of economical depression). It's still far away from being Venezuela.
That is good news, for sure. But the problem is "covered by the scheme". And yes, China is gearing up. However, at least some of the emission cuts are offset by imports from China. Do the estimates that you've cited account for that?

Bottom line, the Mauna Loa CO2 record tells us that not much has changed since 2000.[0] Not even over the past five years.[1] Except for a jump in 2016, anyway. And OK, maybe a hint of a slowdown in the past year.

It's possible to actually nor have your computer used in piracy, and the justice system would still be about proving whether it was. Also, even if there was liability for negligence in security contributing to piracy, it might be lesser than for willful piracy itself.

The law suggested may be bad, but it doesn't remove the role of the justice system in determine the existence and degree of liability.
Yes, there's that too :(
If only that was the case! One of the conversations I had before the referendum went like this:

Them: “We should leave because then they’ll give us a great deal.”

Me: “But they can’t give you a better deal.”

Them: “That just proves we should leave!”

This person has a Cambridge degree, yet this topic allowed them to mix up hopes and preferences with objective economic benefits and end up with cult-like thinking where the conclusion was kept despite the negation of the argument just used to reach it.

From time to time, I ponder their mistake and ask if I have made a similar one of my own.
Math is funny. There's an infinite amount of primes, and even though we know a lot of them there's still more left (read:infinite). But at the same time, with high-school level algebra we can prove that the largest prime followed by a cubic number is 7.

The proof is really simple, but the fact is quite unintuitive (at least for me).

>Does it? I would guess if you're going to blow someone's head off with an autonomous drone you'd want to be pretty darn sure it's them.

Why you'd say that? Major countries (not some rogue states or teams) bomb groups of civilians all the time, often missing their actual target, or killing 10-40 people in the process (even at weddings). It's not like anybody cares outside of the country of those killed.
That is circular reasoning. You can buy gold with money just like you can with bitcoins as well. There is no 'Gold Standard' to the former, nor the latter. Both are pure fiat currencies.

Most people when they say they 'hold gold in their portfolio' don't mean they have the metal lying in their safe. They usually hold shares in a tracking stock like [1], or are active in the commodities market speculating with futures and options on gold, or invested in gold mining companies.

Their is ofc also a real industrial demand for gold. Jewelry makers, electronics firms etc. will take delivery of and use the real metal to make products. For everyone else, it is just numbers in a computer that are transferred from account to account. even when Central banks buy and trade with each-other, the gold never leaves the vault (although it might sometimes be moved from stack to stack inside)

Lately trust in some of these vaults and the accessibility to the actual gold held there has declined, resulting in countries 'repatriating' their gold[2]. As you can imagine, this is not a trivial logistics operation.
While the ownership may change, the actual gold never leaves the huge vaults of e.g. the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

In recent years, and in some countries, maybe so. At least, to some extent. But not fully, I think.
LocalBitcoins.com

From a recent article (VEF = Venezuelan Bolívar):

>According to Coin Dance, 14,886 Bitcoin have been purchased with VEF on LocalBitcoins between the beginning of 2018 and Aug. 18.

I imagine ordinary 2FA probably wouldn't work... the timeout would have to be too long.

But I don't see why 2-factor pre-authentication shouldn't work? Before purchasing, just authorize a larger charge on your card than a limit you or your bank previously set. If it works, then great. Worst case is it doesn't work (app breaks, phone out of juice, whatever), in which case you're back to the current situation.
Yes, for cross-compiling to targets with different configurations we also evoke CMake with lots of options.

However, that you have to wrap calls to CMake in your scripts is quite ugly. Are those scripts cross-platform for starters? As soon as you start to write code to use CMake, this seem to defeat the purpose of a build generator.

I started with the successor of the Oric-1, the Oric Atmos. I had a similar experience as yours, except we had multiple TVs. Also, I don't know if my father bought it separately or if it came along, but on top of the standard manual in french (we're french), we also had a book which contained, among other things, the full 6502 instruction set (in english), which was very valuable. IIRC this is what it looked like:

I think my biggest problem with the idea of pricing in end to end cost of products is that unless it starts meaningfully impacting the quality of peoples lives then it is not nearly doing enough. I don't think there is a way forward against climate change which allows us to continue to consider the current western quality of life as non-negotiable.

Even when people talk about electric cars (deliberately ignoring the potential end-to-end cost here) they will talk about how they sometimes drive cross country to their parents house, or that they tow their travel trailer huge distances that they couldn't possibly do with an electric vehicle.

Then you consider that to make a meaningful change in carbon emissions they probably would need to move to an aerodynamic recumbent electric bicycle for most of their day to day trips you can see how far away we are from making progress.
The problem isn’t science journalism, or iffyness. It’s the predictions made by the scientists themselves. Scientists have spent the past few decades predicting near term catastrophes, which have not been iffy, they have been outright falsified by failing to eventuate. The sentiment I’ve observed regarding this, and what you seem to be echoing right now is that it’s OK to overstate evidence and predictions because anything you say or do to get people to fear climate change is good, regardless of its merits. The outcome of that is that climate science has been thoroughly undermined by its own predictions. Why would somebody believe that the next 80 years of predictions are going to be more accurate than the previous 30? Predicting something 80 years into the future seems a lot harder than predicting something 10 years into it. If the question is “why don’t enough people take climate change seriously?” Then looking at the merits of the communication on the topic seems like a much more reasonable line of inquiry, rather than arriving at the conclusion that people must be mentally deficient in some way. Because even though a lot of damage has already been done, there are so many ways for the communication to be improved.

You don't actually need RTOSs for most practical applications. Even SpaceX used stock Linux.

That said, Linux can be built in a realtime mode.[1]

[1] https://wiki.linuxfoundation.org/realtime/start
Fair enough. Not trying to relitigate the topic - that just seemed like one simple distinction, but I know it is more complex.
My main issue with using a full-blown linux device for IoT is that it's a full blown linux device. Not only is it harder to get up and running IMHO (vs just flashing your code to esp8266), you need to maintain a full OS which is a hassle security wise in the longer term. I get that there are some advantages, but overall I think IoT is better off as simple as possible.

Also, it's not possible to take the RPi zero seriously until they start shipping in any serious quantity - I don't like the play they've made by keeping it scarce.
Right. That's what unsettling people. That and the fact that boundries are fuzzy and fluid.
