In Islam's golden age, they came up with a trust structure known as a waqf [1]. A waqf is "an inalienable charitable endowment under Islamic law, which typically involves donating a building, plot of land or other assets for Muslim religious or charitable purposes with no intention of reclaiming the assets."

Working to endow charitable trusts might be a smart move for open-source projects.

Truly incredible project that I would never wanted to work on because when it suceed, all drivers can go look for another job.

The video is nice to see a professional driver even in his orange vest driving truck ten thausand miles away. And once he is done he shuts down his laptop and walks to the room next door, where his wife cooks dinner to play with their kid. Right?

If reality of automatization learnt us anything so far, is that all these people will be fired almost overnight, and the huge hangar of $2/hour Phillipino “drivers” will be hired to most drive most likely multiple trucks at once, because why the hell not to divide screen in four.

The only good thing is that we are some 10-15 years away from full implementation, but if I were you I would not look for long and prosperous career as a truck driver.
I'd have to agree with that. I'll add that "customized" cars, mostly built in small shops and home garages, have also had a huge influence in the evolution of automobiles.

For example, in the `50s custom car builders were "sectioning" the bodies and "Z-ing" the frames to make cars thinner and lower to the ground. By the `60s all the big manufactures were building cars styled like that.

But racers have had a huge influence on mass production cars and still do. One simple example of that is the coolant overflow tank. As I recall it was small circle track racer that made that mod to his race car and encouraged other car owners at the track to install them because when cars overheated and blew coolant on the track it caused delays in the races. If I recall the story right he had to sue the car companies to enforce his patent and collect a royalty.

Not too surprising. Nothing necessarily says 'disbelieves in God/gods' means 'is a rationalist/sceptic'.

And nowadays, it seems like a growing number of people are simply not believing in the narratives provided by organised religions and churches, while still maintaining beliefs about other supernatural concepts like reincarnation, ghosts, an afterlife, etc.

In some sense, it feels like a bit of a pagan resurgence in some parts, with more people being open to the supernatural while still not believing in religion in the traditional sense.
The commercial databases aren't great either, the information sure scripts has doesn't match first databank for example in many cases. it's not wrong just formatted slightly different so it's hard to compare against.

Even if you factor in the development costs (which isn't really useful since the purchase was truncated very early), the F-22 isn't close to having cost $1B.
It's probably more likely that at such a scale, setting up your own reporter network becomes much cheaper.

Libraries are a bastion of socialists. And the words librarian and libertarian are almost homophones. However the totalitarian are literally taking over.
It is a ceremonial position, but this guy kinda deserves it. He literally invented the Internet - not in the Al Gore sense, but as in the "co-designed the initial version of TCP/IP" sense.

I don't think he actually did much at Google besides being a big hiring/advocacy/PR draw, but Google's entire market wouldn't exist without him. His tech talks were pretty fascinating too, while I was there.
It's a lot harder to study them if they're dead. I'm heartily in favor of assisting them to the extent they want to learn, it's possible that the more effort we make to communicate the more we'll learn ourselves.

Also, if they're capable of learning then they're sapient by definition which means we have some moral obligations to them rather than being disinterested observers, because it's our species that is trying to kill them.

Perhaps we should start considering them as different species of people rather than mere livestock.
I think people tend to forget that before 1900-1940 if you were outside of the city; no electricity.
Their code is special, in that is is unsuitable for open source due to how impossible it would be to describe to someone outside of the organisation how to use it!

I feel a bit like that with Microsoft open sourcing a lot of its projects. Ok so now I can get the MSBuild source code, great... but how the * do I understand it? And that's a developer focused company, let alone some company that paid some cheap developers to knock something up in houses 6 years ago that no one even in the company is brave enough to touch. They might not even know how to build it!

The point is to make their code open source they'd need to do a lot of work to document (at a minimum) and refactor (ideally) the code to make it good enough for open source. They'd need to remove dependencies on proprietary tools (in house or paid) as much as possible.
On the other hand, maybe they don't believe in any god, but do believe in the supernatural - they would still technically qualify as atheists.
Serious bad news - not just for amateur radio operators, but for community emergency response groups, local event coordination (bike races, marathons), and any number of regional Red Cross response teams.

Thales, the French military aerospace company, seems to be behind this band-grab. They're apparently looking to use the 2-meter band to control drones and unmanned aircraft.
Assume an auditable, anonymized transaction system. See, now all your objections are merely implementation details!

In the previous toy example, I was refering to 'already implemented' in the fictional Widget Market transaction system - things that could feasibly be created, rather than existing tools, iow.

There are, fwiw, thriving anonymous reputation systems in the real world, though none directly implementing blockchains, afaik. The Dark Web is full of them
"Amateur radio enthusiasts have made significant contributions to science, engineering, industry, and social services. Research by amateur radio operators has founded new industries, built economies, empowered nations, and saved lives in times of emergency."

As someone who works in the commercial radio industry, I understand where you're coming from - the amateur radio radio bands are relatively silent (but definitely not unused) compared the the commercial/business bands, which is frustrating. There are applications which are difficult or impossible to do for customers that would be doable if amateur spectrum was reallocated for commercial uses.

That being said, having "amateurs" (who often know as much or more about radio than people who do it for a living) be able to experiment and learn radio is a net benefit to society.
There was a very big thread about this, it's nothing like Apple. The limits are much smaller on the amount of things you can put in a blocklist.
They're completely different use cases. When you have a dedicated frequency it's robust to a lot of common failure cases.

Take the Boston Marathon Bombing, of all the communication infrastructure Amateur Radio was one of the few that stayed up[1].

It's really common for hams to provide event support in cases like that and other events where cell communication is limited to none at best(think bike races out in rural areas).

Spend a bit of time poking around the hobby, you might find it's more interesting than first glance.

If they don't know the patients blood type would they check for the Rh antibodies before using O+ blood?

Some other interesting stuff. I'm on a kidney transplant list. When I was evaluated, they had me repeat the blood sample draw for blood type twice by two different people. They want to make sure there is no errors in classifications. Another thing is those of us with O blood type have to wait much longer for kidney transplants because we are universal donors for organs also.
> I think this might interfere with some research involving the gorillas. You cannot study their natural behaviors if you are assisting them.

I think this is a very poor argument. First of all, conservation trumps research. Secondly, their environment already isn't "natural" when it has got snare traps in it.

> If, say, a diseased food source begins to decimate the group that could be prevented through cooking, should the researchers attempt to teach them how to cook the food source to kill the bacteria?

Seems far-fetched, but in principle: Yes, why the hell not?
Jury nullification is a specific term[1] referring to when a jury knows that a particular defendant is guilty of a crime but they decide to find them not guilty because they believe the law to be unjust. There are many examples of this occurring in history, and this exists as a unwritten legal concept as a logical consequence of two explicit legal concepts:

* Juries cannot be punished or reprimanded for coming to the "wrong decision".
* A defendant who is acquitted cannot be tried again in front of a jury because of the defense of double jeopardy.

I'm currently in the early stages of a SDR project. It would be really sad to have no frequencies where I could legally test it out.
No one is talking about the biggest problem with Slack
Get enough people that feel the same way to come together in a coherent group that can wield comparable electoral influence as the NRA, for a start. That’s the absolute minimum you’ll need to get legislation enacted, and you’ll still run into Constitutional issues.

For anything resembling a complete ban, you’ll need to rewrite the second amendment which is an awfully high bar. The exact language change will be incredibly controversial in any case, but it’s one of the more vague amendments because it includes a rationale in addition to the right being protected. If you’re willing to compromise some, there may be room for clarifying the scope of the right to bear arms without removing it completely.
The other side though is if something is cached at the client, right? I thought that was what people were talking about with cache hits.
I don't know a lot about this, but aren't there dozens of other frequencies set aside for this purpose?
Yes, that's correct.

Wikipedia claims that more than 21 bits is pointless for actual playback since there are no circuits that can be that accurate (quiet).

But more bit depth can help with mixing headroom - but you don't need a lot. "24 bits is enough for anyone." © :)
hate me if you want but i think we should call these milli-grids if they are 2-3 orders of magnitude bigger than a micro-grid...

i admit there will be some marketing issues.
A lot of people saw Agents (and Bob before it) and expected Alexa/Siri/Cortana-level interaction. Agents were very good in relatively simple animation techniques at conveying an outer complexity that belied the simplicity of most of the actual code written for them.

(That's part of why the "games" webpages I made with them, and the PPTs as well, impressed people a lot more than the rather rudimentary "screenplays" I was actually writing them as felt to me. I felt like I got more credit for that work than I probably deserved.)

I think a lot of people kind of assumed that that level of interaction did exist and was happening behind the curtain, hence some of the very loud and vocal disappointment with Agents, especially in the Office Assistant form that they were never smart enough. I think it was an uncanny valley effect between user experience and user expectations.

It's somewhat ironic that one of the reasons stopping us from applying as much animated "personality" to Alexa/Siri/Cortana seems to be that residual dislike of Agents/Office Assistants despite that in some cases at least it seems like we are ever closer to getting past that uncanny valley.
That particular example is discussed here: https://www.nytimes.com/1987/08/02/nyregion/authors-seek-mus...

Apparently one had to have a publishing contract to be admitted. I'm not sure how elitist that actually worked out to be.

There are also membership-funded places like http://www.writersroom.org/

I know more about how this works in the arts, where the relevant term is "residency". Access to exclusive residencies is usually allocated on the basis of previous career success, and they are usually funded by endowments of some kind. It's an example of institutional support for artists, and the top residencies are extremely elitist. There are lots of humble ones too, though.
There are many reasons. Areas hit with wide-spread disasters have no functioning infrastructure. Radios are a quick and easy way to put an infrastructure into place. The 2 meter band is not susceptible to solar cycles, and it's cheap to make a radio operate in these bands; you can buy one for $20 on Amazon. Reliable spectrum + cheap radios + simple licensing procedures means you have thousands of unpaid volunteers with the technical know-how and equipment to set up a rather complex and efficient emergency communications network in a very short amount of time.

In other words, your smartphone isn't going to work, thus IRC isn't going to work. Even in areas hit by simple things such as power outages. Or events that take place over a wide geographic area with little to no cell service (think automobile rallies, marathons, biking events, etc). All these need reliable, inexpensive communications, and people to run them.

Next time you're stuck in an area hit by a natural disaster, and you've made it out alive, there's a significant chance amateur radio played a part in that.

If you serve your start page yourself, or via a different cdn - then Sri would protect against malicious code from other cdns such as pika.

If, say, you serve example.com from one source, and link js via pika.cdn - then if pika is compromised, your site would be too. If using sri, the example.com infrastructure would have to be subverted.

All things being equal, mitm ssl or subverting a well run cdn is hard - but if you double the number of cdns in play, you make compromise of one of them twice as likely/easy. With sri, you get to keep your single point of compromise - but can leverage the benefit of a besboke cdn for your js. If any.
This is kind of the opposite I think. Your browser is blocking assets, probably at your request. Mine is too btw.
My two main concerns are:

1) Combating ageism in the programming job market. The best solution seems to be continuing to grow and making sure the seniority of your skills matches the seniority of your age. I'm only 27, but in my segment of the programming world I feel like I'm mid-career already.

2) An influx of people who can just "write code" for cheap, devaluing the basic ability to make computers do things. Again, I want to "raise myself above the tide" by boosting my resume.

It is entirely possible that the best way for me to make this progression is just to double-down on self education and industry experience, I'm just trying to cast out a survey to answer the question of which signifiers employers look for.

I used to sell life insurance and annuities. As far as I can tell, the major concern seems to be about the risk that comes from the downside risk of annuities, which is that you can lose all your money. A close relative of mine bought an annuity from someone, that someone spent all the money from the annuity, and my relative ended up losing everything.

Think of it this way...

A 401k is a piggy bank into which you put your retirement savings. You pay a pig farmer a small fee every year to invest the retirement funds in various forms of stocks and bonds. The money is always yours, and you get to keep whatever is in the piggy bank, plus all of the gains/losses, after the pig farmer's fee.

An annuity is going to a casino and making a bet. You give the bookie all of your money, and the bookie agrees to give you your money back in the future in regular payments over some period of time (e.g. pay in 10x now, and starting in 20 years, you get X per year until you die). If you live long enough, you can come out way ahead, but the bookie is really good at spreading the risk across people who, on average, collect less than they put in. The risk is that the bookie outright steals your money, or maybe puts the money in a safe, but someone steals the safe. If the bookie loses your funds, you may very well get nothing. Think Bitcoin - you give me 100 Bitcoins, I agree to pay you 1 Bitcoin a month until you die, I put the coins in a secure wallet, and forget the wallet's password.
When I consider how much people hate Facebook, and my own sense that they don't really "do anything", it seems like there are an infinite number of better existing and potential enterprises someone could work for (or create). In that light, it seems churlish to focus on whether any benefits are distributed equitably. Maybe it's all garbage, so people should have the self-respect not to fight over it?

Ive typically been recommending non-profits and public-benefit companies. Tax write-offs for donations are useful, though. Mozilla has a foundation that owns the for-profit company. Maybe improve on the idea with:

1. A for-profit and charity side-by-side working on same thing with charity just collecting donations.

2. Improve on prior models with a charity that owns a public-benefit company or non-profit whose charters or goals are same. Keep them aligned.

Is the "full effect" more than a million deaths a year?

Because that's how many people coal kills. And Im not talking about global warming. I am instead only talking about the pollution deaths.

If Chernobyl happened like 3 times every single year, that would still be safer than coal, TBH.
I've had similar experiences with development on eLance (prior to Upwork acquisition). The issue often is the person you're communicating with isn't the person doing the work.
I still don't get this. There have only been a handful of newspapers that seem to have tried anything different than the same model that they used in the 80's and they have done ok, but most of the newspapers I feel like I take a peek at are barely worth more than the paper they are printed on even if they have a solid Sunday edition, and their websites end up being trashy from ads, bad design, slow page loads, or any of the other reasons. Most of the articles in web or print end up being roughly equal quality to an equivalent mediocre to random web article as they rushing to be first.

In my opinion most newspapers haven't showed me something I want to buy/spend money on/visit to collect a few token ad dollars. Did Google really steal your money because I chose New York Times over some random newspaper with lackluster articles/reporting? I feel like even radio and local/regional TV still does a good job of giving me a reason to choose them over someone else.
we're also omitting the steam car.

Where the maintenance and dirtiness were their major detractors, refined fuels and new burners solve these.

Steam engines can and could have been refilled at any gas station, could run on any multi fuel including biodiesel. They theoretically require less maintenance, no oil changes, no cooling system.

They'd also have had greater range and greater top speed (though less acceleration without a hybrid design)
