That's where I disagree. taking a negative stance on Trump IS taking a side.

What I would like is for the journalist to report the fact and let us reader chose if it is negative or positive.

The facts can include the views of external people giving their views on it (as long as it is clearly documented in the sources that it is the views of someone external). But if the journalist himself takes a side, then all bets are lost.

The global financial system is an ecosystem with very few silo-ed actors.

These institutions have settled market rigging accusations in every market that any relevant government can weasel jurisdiction in.

It is personal enrichment, it is common practice, it is a kickback to the government, the normal rules are never clarified fast enough to keep up with the new markets, the rules can be changed if the banks want, settling a decade later isn't a deterrent, imagine what they are doing in 2019 right now that we won't hear about until 2030.

I'm agreeing with you.
As I understand it, the Soviets had mobile contingency plans, but they were also afraid of delegating launch capability to the field -- for the very pragmatic reason that a rival power center (e.g., a portion of the military) could rebel and exploit it. This put a lot of pressure on central leadership to respond to possible missile warnings rapidly, since a decapitation strike could actually succeed. Allegedly the answer was Perimeter (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_Hand), which allowed delegation with a bunch of technical safeguards added.

The primary job of a first strike is to take out as much of the target's retaliation capability as possible.

> The people manning the prop desks in these institutions

The Volcker Rule (part of Dodd-Frank) prohibits prop trading at banks (with few exceptions). The big banks have been actively discouraging it as well, changing comp structures to avoid rewarding prop trading.

> trading happens directly between traders and never crosses exchange boundaries

All these trades still need to be cleared, no? There's a structure to markets that you're papering over here.

> It's not in the best interest of the banks to monitor their internals too closely.

You may think this, but traders at banks are subject to tons of surveillance. Banks take lots of measures now to catch rogue traders even if it's just because they don't want dirty laundry being aired publicly.
Correct.

Their problem is that the projector they are using is projecting a 2D plane.

It has to be then rotated only along a single axis.

Turning the projector circle physically can possibly add additional precision.

Similar experience in the uk, in terms of whether it will rain or not. 3 hour, 6 hour etc forecasts are of little use - no better than looking out the window. Meanwhile wind speed and temperature seem ok on that timescale, but are (usually) less important to me than precipitation.

It depends a lot on what part of the world you are in - I think that the uk is particularly hard to forecast.

There are plenty of cheats that are seemingly impossible to detect. I play Team Fortress 2 and there's at least one cheat there that, from what I've read, uses code that's unique to each instance used by a cheater. VAC seems to scan for code signatures so it doesn't detect it.

This hardware cheat makes it even harder to detect since it reads and writes directly to main memory using DMA. No drivers or software needed at all. All you possibly could detect is the PCI-ID(which can be changed) and possibly the DMA if there's an IOMMU.

Hi. Thanks for the input. I agree that there are some other products on the market. I feel that Cloud 9 locks you into the AWS ecosystem though, as opposed to an independent IDE which allows you to choose from several different deployment options. And I looked up Nitrous. I have a few thoughts of my own about why it shut down — namely, I think they invested substantial capital to get corporate adaptation, which didn’t really happen as they expected it to, resulting in a negative financial situation and stalled growth. What are your thoughts on this?
Definitely. I think the initial setup of an android phone is pretty similar to that of windows 10. You have to read everything very carefully to avoid all the dark patterns and hidden consents for tracking.

Other well-known 3D printer technologies include:

- Fused deposition modeling (FDM): the typical plastic filament-extruding hobbyist printer. Low resolution, but fast and creates very strong parts in one of wide varieties of well-known engineering materials. Tricks (e.g., two extruders) can give limited multiple colors or materials.

- Selective laser sintering (SLS): a laser melts a pattern into one layer of powder at a time. Can make even stronger parts than FDM by using nylon, titanium, etc. Very common in industry, but usually too expensive for hobbyists. These are the printers used to make rocket engines.

- Stereolithography (SLA) as explained above works like SLS but cures liquid resin with light instead of melting powder. Has many subvarieties. Advantage is scary high resolution (certain engineering choices give 160 nm (!) feature size [1]), but at the cost of relatively limited material choices because materials need to be liquid UV curable (though Form 2 has a good library now [2]) and definitely no multi-material or color parts. I'd consider this new 3D rotation printer a variety of SLA. [Edit: for clarity, I lumped CLIP and DLP here with SLA]

- Inkjet-based printers: these are the _really_ cool ones. Objet makes a printer [3][4] that uses inkjet heads to deposit multiple colors and materials in the same part layer-by-layer (kind of combining FDM and SLA). Upside is multiple colors and materials and resolution (e.g., Lego uses these for prototyping), downside is ridiculous price and low speed. Other printers like HP's and Z Corp's combine inkjet heads with SLS powder instead.

There are also a few weirder ones, e.g., paper layering, but I don't think they're widely used.

> If we shift toward paying for content, is there not going to be a market for subscriptions to fake news as well as subscriptions to real news? Paying for content alone doesn't solve the problem of fake news. How does Joe Average even know which subscriptions are the right subscriptions? Please don't let an algorithm decide for them.

It doesn't solve fake news, except that subscriptions might keep the production of real news economically viable. Internet-ad revenue probably can't support real journalism at all. It's too labor intensive.

Real news is expensive to produce, you have to pay reporters to spend their time finding the facts; fake news is cheap, since lies can be made up in your pajamas.

Probably because it’s much easier to post pictures on Instagram than to be a sysadmin? Or requires different hardware (in the author’s opinion, anyway, not mine, I don’t get why you need any of this to admin a system).

Do you think that being a social media person is equally valuable to being a sysadmin? If so, why do sysadmins get paid more? It’s because fewer people have those skills, and everyone and their mother can most pictures on Instagram. There’s no reason to put people down, but the answer to your question is also pretty straightforward.

Also, in Russia, people don’t coddle each other like they do in The States, so if they think uploading things to social media isn’t skilled work, they just go out and say it. I personally find that refreshing on some level, because then you can actually talk to people straightforwardly. Russia sucks in lots of ways, but at least you can communicate with people directly there.
Don't complain. Contribute.

I've worked on text rendering in the past, and the amount of subtleties in how each language is rendered and the exceptions/code paths that must be implemented to properly support said languages is not insignificant. Mind you, I say this as a native speaker of these languages. I don't want to imagine the amount of effort and work that would be required to support a language I don't speak. Doubly so if I'm not being payed for it.

If you need support for a language you speak, help the developer by implementing and contributing the support yourself.

PS: This isn't aimed at you specifically, but to those who criticize projects for lack of language support without understanding the effort required.

I can't recall the source during the moment, but I read that during the cold war it was decided that targeting major population centers was more ethical than targeting nuke-capable military installations. This is counter-intuitive until you consider that population centers are worthless targets if you're planning on launching a decapitating first strike, therefore targeting major population centers signals to the opponent that you are poised for a retaliation strike, not a first strike. This is more ethical because it makes a nuclear war less likely to occur.

No one is talking about eliminating rich people or ending income inequality. Wealth redistribution is a legitimate form of reducing poverty (at least in theory, if not always in practice).

I use a Microsoft Surface Pro 2 for all my mobile needs. I bought it on eBay for ~$200 two years ago, and it's now 5 years old. It's light as all get up, runs Linux perfectly out of the box and I bought it to run a browser and SSH into things. It also has a displayport, and a single USB, and I can ultimately connect it to everything I need. It's literally the best piece of technology I've ever owned.

I use it for so much more than I intended - but at $200, when the thing dies, I'm just going to throw it out and buy a newer one on eBay. I'm blown away by how much more useful this is than every other thing I've had over the last 20 years.
I tried using Google Maps without search history turned on. It's basically a downgraded version. They tied saving locations with the search history, so it won't let you search for friends' contacts, set a home address, etc. Is it on purpose?

I think your latter point is one of the defining sociocultural challenges of our time. We have stressed openness and fairness in public discourse to the point of enabling actors who 1) seek to undermine that public discourse 2) hold positions that are really spurious in relation to the discussions we need to be having. E.g., the public should be arguing over how to respond to climate change ---especially the social and economic trade-offs that might be necessary--- rather than about its existence.

They constantly berate you to deactivate no tracking preferences on google maps. When you're aware of this fact you start seeing it everywhere, not just on google. For example, on Pinterest they will berate you to sign up using highlighted buttons on land, and the x button is out of the way on the top right corner.

This end result is due to product managers/devs looking at conversion rates and optimizing for whatever their metric of success is, which in this case is creating accounts and users being more "engaged" with the platform. 3 or 4 rounds of A/B testing and you get the most efficient (read: manipulative) method of getting users "engaged". There may be no intention of manipulation but using empirical evidence to achieve your metric of success will tend to make your product manipulative.
