No he can't because it's factually inaccurate. Hemp growing had been considered production a Schedule 1 controlled substance for decades. CBD was also in a weird gray area of semi-legality. Despite lax enforcement of the laws, it was could have technically been brought up under the Controlled Substances Act but it didn't seem like anyone had any interest in doing that.

In addition, while people may have been running grey area hemp production, they would have had to be entirely uninsured and cash funded as most banks and insurance companies wouldn't touch someone violating federal law with a ten foot pole. This changes that as well, allowing for greater expansion.
As a US company, even launching an inert block of metal would've still made the US liable for any mishaps they caused (say, by running into another satellite or hitting someone on the ground with it) under the Outer Space Treaty and the Space Liability Convention.

Centralization isn't the selling point you're thinking of. You seem to think that somehow, being decentralized means Diaspora doesn't allow you to communicate with your friends or something. The whole way it works is that your friends can have accounts on entirely different Diaspora servers run by different organizations, and they can all talk to each other. It doesn't rely on everyone being on the same site, by design. That's the whole point of decentralization.

The reason it didn't "gain traction" (are we all managers here or something?) is that Facebook already had a huge critical mass of users, and once something has established itself as the incumbent, it's very difficult to get people to move to something else, especially for social networks where it entirely relies on all the other people you want to talk to being on that service. If all your friends are already on Facebook, and none of them on Diaspora, well it's pretty obvious which one you're going to invest your time in.

I don't think you're overlooking anything, that sounds eminently reasonable.

One important thing to know is that allocating memory in C or C++ has high and/or unpredictable latency relative to the target latency of HFT code. So for critical paths, you end up needing to do the same kind of pre-allocation tricks in C/C++ that you would need to do in Java. There is some benefit to being able to write more natural code in the non-critical paths, but that has to be weighed against the overall development advantages that lead people to choose Java over C/C++ in other industries.
So what do you propose that we do? Even if everyone stopped throwing plastic into the water right now, it will not remove an ounce of plastic that's already in the water and killing the ecosystem.

Instead of dismissing attempts like this with a hand wave, perhaps we should actually start calculating the amount of damage done by potential by-catch versus the damage avoided by removing X tons of plastic from the top Y meters of the water column. Or compare the amount of plastic this project will end up adding to the oceans with the amount it will remove in the meantime.

It's okay to be naysayer if you have real numbers to back up your claims. It's not okay to throw around phrases like "Mr. Slat is really, truly, objectively not helping" when you don't have any numbers to back up your claims.

Not to diminish the sentiment (I agree, she should get a lot more) but the amount she's receiving now might exceed anything she's ever earned before in Brazil walking the beaches, so it's not a sad story yet, I think.

From worldcrunch: "According to the Brazilian daily Estadao, a worker on the bottom end of Brazil’s pay scale earns roughly $77.40 per month, meaning it would take him or her three years and three months to earn what an average person at the top end of the spectrum makes in just one month: $3,019."
> If my chip vendor decides to replace the ARM core on a SoC with a RISC-V core but leave all peripherals and memory mappings the same, I want to simply change the target and rebuild.

I mean, I don't know what distro you're working on (and whether they package these toolchains conveniently), but on Arch you just change your configured target in your conf/build system, and make sure you have the other one installed. If you're using autotools or cmake, you may not even need to change the configure scripts.

If you're doing embedded with memory mapped peripherals, surely you're building all your deps statically anyway.

How expensive/complicated would it be to process the mined coal to remove the uranium. That element is significantly heavier than carbon so chemically and/or physically it should be possible. Of course, better to just stop burning coal altogether.
The efficiency gap is just one measure of partisan bias that can be used to assess the utility/efficacy of any redistricting plan. The game the authors propose is (basically) an algorithm to draw good districts between two players. So, there's no real or expected relationship between the two... partisan control (the objective the authors cite) isn't necessarily related to the efficiency of that control measured by the efficiency gap. The problem is that so many different measures of fairness exist, have validity, and can be used in different legal or jurisprudential contexts, we're always talking past each other on the meaning of these measures.
More likely it is facilitated by the cheapness of labor in Bangladesh. Bubble CPAP takes a lot of work to get set up correctly. In rich countries, it's not worth it to use a cheaper device if it takes more labor to get it to work. In Bangladesh, where labor is a tenth of the price, it is worth it.

Entering a crowded market, Japan’s new rocket scores an early win
The objective of sit-ins was to protest, not to buy lunch. If you wanted lunch, you'd go to a place that would serve you and the status quo would be maintained. It's immaterial whether people participating in sit-ins had money or planned to eat.

You might say that the long term objective of sit-ins was to gain service, but only inasmuch as "gaining service" fell under the umbrella of "equal rights".

Finally, as a possibly unwelcome aside, I find it somewhat irritating to see civil rights protestors referred to as "people of color". The Civil Rights Movement was about acknowleging shared humanity, not dividing people into groups based on privilege. Also, Americans, dark-skinned and otherwise, participated in these movements. Many sit-ins involved large groups of white people sitting down with at least one black person, so all of them would be refused service. The Civil Rights Movement of the 60s sought allies regardless of race, which is perhaps why it was so successful.
If you are shadowing, it is best to either have them introduce you (if needed) and then say silent. Don’t be part of the action unless specifically invited. Observe and listen.

I agree we should switch to Proportional Representation. Unfortunately this would weak our duopoly parties, allowing third parties to win seats. So they (D&R) will never change the laws.

The views above share a similarity to the anti-vaccine crowd. Basically the FDA does such a great job at keeping our drug supply safe that people fail to properly understand the risks, just like vaccinations have done such a great job of preventing devistating illnesses.

The most telling clue is he said the remedy for bad drugs is tort... Showing he clearly doesn’t understand the severity of the problem.

Sorry our drugs killed your kid, but now you can sue us so everything is ok.

They did have one good point, which is what is the opportunity cost of slowing down drug development with regulation and which way does the least harm. I don’t have the data to back up either side, but I’m not seeing a ton (there are some though) of medical breakthroughs in less regulated countries.
Nah, you don't smoke CBD so OP is clearly talking about pot. "Pot is all placebo effect" is a novel, wacky theory I've never heard from the legalization opposition before, so that's sorta fun.
Indeed, Uber and AirBnB were evolutions of the marketplace. They aren’t going away (and shouldn’t go away) just because the laws were designed in a previous century for a different type of business.

The solution is for gov fix the laws to reflect society. Unfortunately modern governments are designed around protecting established market cartels and political special interest groups over evolving with the times.

I don’t see this as relevant to Swarm either. They aren’t an evolution AFAIK, besides maybe the rise of private rocket launches.
No... this is pretty explicitly illegal. It's not like they took advantage of a loophole, or exploited some vaguery of the law that wasn't yet nailed down. They flat out lied about the payload they were launching and whether they had received authorization.

This isn't all that much like alcohol prohibition, though.

This is about enabling fair access to and good stewardship of a scarce resource.

Prohibition was the imposition of one form of morality through law.

In my view, it's easier to argue that one is about personal freedom and so fair game to consider breaking, whereas the other is more about being a good neighbour.
The issue isn't geography of the launch, it's company registration for regulation.

I think you're missing my point. NBC's headline is deceptive: there is no "most dangerous countries" list in the cited report. Furthermore, using the word dangerous is far more subjective than "deadly", which is made evident by the fact that we seem to disagree on what constitutes a dangerous country. My comparisons to other countries is trying to make the point that you can be a country with zero everything and still be more "dangerous" than a country that experienced a mass shooting and a hurricane. This is why I object to NBC News conflating the two words and suggesting that the US is more dangerous than it is.

Also, how realistic is a baseline of zero deaths?

>Least likely to die on the job were people in sales, with fewer than 2 deaths per 100,000, and management, with about 2 ½.[0]

Those two salesmen probably weren't murdered, they probably fell down the stairs in the office or were hit by a car crossing the street. This could have happened to a journalist or two this year as well in addition to what's in this report. But while zero deaths is a noble goal, I don't think it's a useful baseline for the profession of journalism. No job has zero hazards.

What I learned from giving up everything I knew as a leader
Yeah, I might have deserved that one.
Don't fabulate stories in your head that are not useful to you. There is nothing "wrong" with you. The reasons could be manyfold. You could try to figure out why you didn't land a job, or, far more easy and effective, just keep going and focus on what you want, on your strengths, on how to sell yourself. Eventually, it'll work out.

Side note: we developers are a spoiled bunch. 4 rejections and you want to give up on the entire industry?

TensorFlowSharp has bindings to the C API of TensorFlow, but no implementations of the Python stuff that you really need for training, such as optimizers.

My first thought when I saw 900k was "Oh shit, now everybody will do it".
~1% sounds pretty high to me.

Compare this to other countries like Germany or Japan. What are the chances that your schoolkid is going to experience any kind of violence on that level in schools there? Virtually zero.

Take a look at the murder rate for the US and compare to Japan's. For the US, it was 17,250 murders in 2016, a rate of 5.35 (per 100k people). In Germany, they had 963 murders in 2016, a rate of 1.18. In Japan, they had 362 murders in 2016, a rate of 0.28. The US had 4.5 times Germany's murder rate, and over 19 times Japan's!

I'd say it's outright lunacy to think that the US isn't a very dangerous country to live in. Just check out the rankings:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_intention...

The US is ranking alongside such nations as Sudan, Ecuador, Argentina, Ukraine, Afghanistan, Yemen, Zimbabwe, Nicaragua, Cuba, and Kenya. Even North Korea has a lower murder rate; Turkey, India, Rwanda, Egypt, and Iran have significantly lower murder rates than the US. China is downright safe with a murder rate of only 0.62! (Of course, the pollution will probably kill you early there...)

I think the statistics clearly show the US is not a very safe place to live: murder rate, mass shooting rates, gun violence rates, etc. are all extremely high in the US compared to developed nations. And it's likely to get worse, as our elections have shown.

The STREAM benchmark [6] was also compiled and executed, confirming that DRAM performance is limited to less than 1.6 GB/s on this platform. It’s unclear if this is a problem with the cache hierarchy, memory controller, or the configuration

Wow, that's unspeakably terrible. That's about 10-20% of the b/w one should get from 2400 mem (depending on how many channels the mem controller uses).

I hope this is some simple misconfiguration that can be fixed in firmware or in the kernel.
> Show me peer-reviewed, widely accepted, research that supports that CBD is a miracle panacea

That's clearly a strawman: nothing is a panacea. But here are some links from the first page of Google when I searched for "CBD research":

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4189631/

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4604171/

Each have dozens or more citations and are from reputable scientists at large universities. If your agenda is "the scientific method," hopefully that Google search helped.

We should regulate CBD so that salespeople don't make absurd claims about what it can or can't do. But claiming that it's on par with megadosing iodine or salt lamps is pretty uneducated.

Exactly. While someone in CA was probably able to access hemp items (and straight out pot items obviously) it was still illegal to produce. That doesn't mean you couldn't obtain it through mail orders or lax enforcement, but I mean I can go buy heroin from a guy I know, that doesn't make it legal.
