That seems like a terrible idea because people forget why useful regulations where needed.

Lead is never going to be safe. Julius Caesar's engineer, Vitruvius, reported, "water is much more wholesome from earthenware pipes than from lead pipes.“ Lead was added to cheap wine illegally in the 18th and early 19th centuries as a sweetener.. Note the illegal bit because we knew it was toxic.

But fast forward and... In the late 1950s through the 1970s Herbert Needleman and Clair Cameron Patterson did research trying to prove lead's toxicity to humans.[231] In the 1980s Needleman was falsely accused of scientific misconduct by the lead industry associates.[232][233]

Read the history and we just keep discovering the same issues over and over again. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead_poisoning Yet, we still keep adding it to various products today and people still get significant exposure.
Has Reddit as a company inacted violence or imprisonment against anyone on /r/the_donald ? That's what government censorship consists of.
My office is rather small -- ~3m x ~3m x 2.7m high. So I have the speakers overhead, with their backs ~10cm from the ceiling. So that drives the floor and ceiling more than the walls. And there's far better sound isolation between floors than between units.

Still, I can't crank it as much as I could when I lived in a house.
If you are interested in this subject, I highly recommend picking up a copy of Deborah Blum’s excellent 2011 book The Poisoner’s Handbook (https://www.amazon.com/Poisoners-Handbook-Murder-Forensic-Me...), which tells the stories of a bunch of different chemical catastrophes from the same period. Radium is covered, as well as such other “what were they thinking?” stories as the introduction of lead into gasoline and the poisoning of industrial alcohol by the government during Prohibition in a misguided effort to keep it from being turned into bootleg liquor. It’s full of fascinating case studies, and Blum has an engaging writing style that makes it a good read.

If you prefer to watch your history, PBS’ American Experience documentary series did an episode based on Blum’s book (see http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/films/poisoners ); it can be streamed via a bunch of different video services.
Brave is going big. It will overtake Firefox in the near future. That will be a good day for Brendan Eich.
As a long-time member of the NRA (as well as almost every other #2A advocacy group there is) I have always had certain issues with the NRA. I appreciate their gun safety training, support for high-school rifle teams and so forth, and their defense of the 2A. But too many times (and more so lately) they act like shills for any tripe the GOP is putting out.. and I, for one, am not a Republican despite being an NRA member.

I've considered dropping support for them because they get involved in issues like abortion, immigration, gay marriage, etc., where I am diametrically opposed to the stock GOP position, so of course I don't want to spend money on an organization that supports that stuff.

All this recent stuff about internal disputes, executive pay, lawsuits, money being spent on clothing, blah, blah, blah, just tarnishes their image that much more to me.

But... one has to wonder if that isn't exactly the point. Is somebody intentionally spreading this stuff and trying to fuel this fire exactly because they want to sow discord among the NRA faithful? I'm not usually one for conspiracy theories, but sometimes it makes you stop and go "Hmmm...."
If you go to the Wikipedia Article for Radium Girls: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radium_Girls - You'd see it's an exact mirror of much of the text that's reposted on theatlantic.com article.
Presentation tools have changed much more than spreadsheets. Mid-80s Lotus 1-2-3 is perfectly adequate for anything I use a spreadsheet for today given I don’t use pivot tables or macros.

By contrast, presentation software in Windows (and to some degree Mac) was fundamentally different. Various DOS and other programs of the same era were basically just a way to create some bullet points and graphs. Functional but not much more.
You don’t need to, it happens already. Many TVs do screen grabs and send everything you do to the manufacturer or partners.
Absolutely. People who understand math can't swim. They just board a ship going in the direction they want and get there without drowning.
To be fair, ignoring user input could have potentially have saved Air France 447... I mean I actually can't think of an automated fool proof system that would've fixed 447, but incorrect input was a major factor.

It isn't based only on doubt and fear. Those happen to be predominant with writer's block, though.

I might point out that ambiguity of scope may be summarized as doubt, and you do proceed to use fear as the third part of your list.

It may be that the Supreme Court says no, but the vast majority of people aren't going to litigate the issue if stopped.
I believe the code miscompilation bug in LLVM that was blocking enabling it was fixed. That said, it's gone back and forth now several times as new bugs get discovered. The code paths in GCC and LLVM for noalias optimizations aren't particularly battle-tested because C and C++ basically don't use them.

Because they would have to redesign the parts of the fuselage that holds the landing gear when they are retracted - as far as I know, there's not enough room to house taller landing gear.
That doesn't sound right. The 737 went into service in the late 60s. There were two confirmed fatal accidents involving rudder hardover in the 90s.
China kills people who speak out against the government killing people. Reddit is literally still broadcasting everything /r/the_donald wants, they just aren't linking to it as much. I don't think that's the same as murdering individuals for political speech.
The fact is each line setup would involve several modifications in supply chain. Processes, Assembly, Paint Shop and not to say the engineering required beneath it. Reliability engineering often takes six months to an year to emulate a decade worth of conditions. You don't want to rush something to market and break it and apparently cars are hazardous if it fails in operation which mayn't be applicable to mobile phones.
We need an economy of worker owned cooperatives. It won’t solve every problem but it would solve some problems. A few executives are more likely to screw over the public than a large collection of workers.
You may want to look into symbolic regression. I often find that by applying a downward pressure on the fitness of less parsimonious individuals as well as one or more substitution operators (where applicable) you can get very elegant results. Add constraints or other fitness bonuses for specific types of relationships you are looking for and you might be surprised by what cool things you can find. Also a great excuse to learn Common Lisp if you haven't already.

A good starting point is John Koza's first book on Genetic Programming.

Yep and Macs of that era were also horribly unstable due to lack of memory protection, and this seemed even more complicated by the 68k emulation. Crashed all the time. At one of my offices there was a constant problem with Macs crashing if FileMaker and Netscape ran at the same time.
A new way to make payments online
Riftpay.io offers a new for consumers to make payments online. Traditionally payments have involved 2 people, Rift aims to enable consumers make payments together online and in physical locations in real time. Meaning you can now combine your funds automatically to buy that T.V off Amazon with your friends, pay for that Airbnb booking together, share your Hulu subscription, pay only your rent portion with a group of friends while combining to pay the total fee together and more. The key selling point for Rift is how you no longer have to send money to each other or ask to receive money, you can split and share the payment in real time, making an $800 bill for you as low as $100 or lower.
Rift Pay is currently accepting a wait list at https://www.riftpay.io
I find this kind of thing quite often, and it always annoys me.

Considering the state of political discussion in this country I have no idea what the person who uses that phrase could possibly mean.
Whataboutism is using the hypocracy of B to argue that A shouldn't be held to account for its misdeads.

Constructively pointing out hypocracy is to also call for B to be held to account. Whataboutism isn't constructive; it's obstructive.

In many cases, it's even worse. Whataboutism is often used to argue that the hypocracy of B negates the complaints of third party C against A. Nobody is claiming HP or the journalists have tried to hack the Chinese government, or that HP or the journalists support the NSA's misdeads.

Whataboutism impedes progress and should be called out when encoutered.
Mirai is a beachhead for applications that can’t tolerate charge times. Hydrogen can be transported and stored and is considered a viable alternative for industrial applications on an island nation that is currently dependent on the Middle East for oil. So of course the Japanese government created incentives for adoption and innovation. Also, until Tesla, Americans generally showed zero interest in non-hybrid electric vehicles. For all we know, fuel cells could have a brighter future than it appears they do right now.
This is exactly why I block third party advertisements for myself and everyone that uses my network.
My instinct is that you're probably correct, and most planes are probably riddled with similar problems and would look bad if they came under the same scrutiny as the 737 Max is currently under. For example, I remember after the 787 was launched there was a few stories in the press about the batteries catching fire mid-flight, but it turned out the designers and engineers had accounted for that possibility and it wasn't really a big deal. They've improved the batteries, but it didn't actually hurt anybody.

However, the problem with the max seems to be that instead of designing for failure - assuming that critical systems might fail and the plane should recover gracefully from the failure of most internal systems - they seem to have designed for success, and made the assumption that no part of the plane will ever fail. And that's obviously not realistic, and we're seeing the consequences of it here.
Thanks for sharing. I think donations are good way deal with a guilt but I feel more angry ( not at you) at the state of affairs. I dunno why my response is that of anger or something like that.
Sharon's Recovery from Stroke
It's not just that I choose option C to continue watching and not pay. I in fact opt out of the entire decision making process. I'm not going to figure out what sort of ads you have or whether I should or shouldn't block them because life is short and I have other better things to do. I'm just going to turn on ublock and just keep swimming.

If you don't put out videos tomorrow because of this I will watch someone else's content. If you produce something truly unique put it out there for money and I will make an informed choice on whether I want to pay for it.
I also keep the HD280 on my office desk. I love them. They do a pretty great job at attenuating noise. I have taken them on planes and it’s enough to put them on without music if I want to sleep. They are in fact really comfortable, but I do prefer them without glasses. My head starts to hurt after about an hour or so with my glasses on, especially if I’m wearing larger rims. But I think that any decent closed back set of cans is going to have that problem as they need to grip your head to make the seal.

It appears to be a pretty common consensus in headphone circles (read:head-fi) that Beats/Bose are decent quality but terrible value for $$$ (for instance, you’ll get better frequency roll off on the HD280’s we are discussing vs a set of Beats that often retail for 2.5x the price). Occasionally you’ll read someone on the internet saying Bose or Beats are crap; they really aren’t unless you’re speaking purely in terms of what you get for how much you spend.
And we should assume that there is an infinite number of industries for humans to constantly move onto why? It's not like there is a law of the universe that says there must always be more industries for humans to move once another industry became obsolete. Some may successfully move into other industries. Others will just develop a drug habit or commit suicide. Fun facts: once the internet started becoming pervasive in the very early 2000s, the labor participation rate went down soon after, and suicides went up at about the same time. Both trends have held since.
Given current, insufficient levels of protection, periodic measles epidemics are more or less to be expected. That’s because immunization rates appear to have plateaued, in recent years, at around 85 percent. Communities of vaccine skeptics, found in many different countries, contribute to this problem—but they’re not the only cause. They may not even be the major cause. In the U.S., for example, the number of unvaccinated children has quadrupled since 2001—a stat that people love to cite as evidence of a growing anti-vaxxer movement. But the CDC attributes that number to health care inequality, since kids without insurance or who live in rural areas appear to be at greatest risk.

The same applies to several of the countries where the latest measles crisis has been most devastating. Madagascar has registered more than 60,000 cases since January, but it’s not because people are refusing the vaccine; it’s because they can’t afford it.
Installing a Mac Mini in a Macintosh Classic Chassis
That’s true but in all fairness, it was a point of nerd pride if your operating system could handle a Netscape crash. Netscape was horrible on every single operating system it ran on. People seem to forget that IE was actually better than NS around IE 3.0.
I think overall we should consider this process a very positive thing, FAA and Boeing (and Airbus as well) are all going to learn a lot from this process which will make air travel safer in the future. It's unfortunate that it took two tragedies to get us here but if you look at the history of aviation improvements this isn't the first and it won't be the last time.
And the Mac SE wasn't introduced in 1984 as the article says, the original Macintosh (128) was introduced then, designed by Jerry Manock as the parent says. The Mac SE and Mac II were introduced in 1987, after the 512, Plus and 512Ke.
The derivatives were traded in massive blocks, not in high-frequency transactions where fees adding up matters.
They could require a paid Apple developer account to sign MacOS binaries just like they do with iOS (with the exception of those certs that expire after a week).

I think they would be crazy to do it and don't really expect them to anytime soon but they clearly could. The financial motive is exactly the same as the iOS App Store: get 30% of all app sales revenue and make the OS more secure.
All well replacing mundane jobs with robots, but what will those displaced workers do. Also come 2030, the population will of increased, which will be mostly in the demographics who lost their jobs to robots in the first place.

But then the whole cost effective argument is from a company perspective, what it costs them on the balance sheets.

The fallout and full cost of loosing workers is very much ringfenced for companies, but the social impacts can be far far deeper and far more costly to a community than any saving made on a balance sheet.

So I get the whole workers rights perspective, equally, I'm mindful that some jobs really are not fit for humans, just because they can do them, don't mean we can't technology them away. But a balance is needed, so if they had a robot tax as many have raised and mooted in the past, then perhaps that could be used to find education, free recreational activities. Otherwise we will just fuel an endless supply of humans in production line style that feel useless in society and become statisticaly abandoned or worse.

Certainly won't need 20M robot maintenance jobs, let alone the skill set from picking fruit and moving onto robot maintenance for many will be a transition out of their reach.

So all yay for robots replacing menial jobs, but let's make sure such displaced menial workers are afforded some education and opportunity into better jobs. Otherwise it will not end well socially.
The discussion in this thread makes me wonder if Brave is a good browser to recommend to friends & family. The widespread usage of Chrome was probably largely in part due to folks like us recommending it to friends & family.
The linked chart doesn’t dispute the damage from wind turbines. However, there is also a relatively low penetration of wind turbines compared to the number of power lines, windows and cats. It would follow that a rapid expansion of wind turbines would result in a dramatic increase in bird deaths. Suggesting that turbines don’t kill as much as windows is a straw man: nobody is claiming that turbines are the leading cause of bird deaths, however, they are still significant and, with an increase of turbines, you will absolutely have an increase in bird mortality. Additionally, endangered birds such as bald eagles are rarely getting eaten by housecats or crashing into windows, however, they are being killed by windmills.

The Audubon Society, a group that most assuredly has more experience with all things birds are certainly more credible than a random google image search in terms of the impact of turbines on birds.

> 1. Doesn't this make any genuine nude photo deniable?

Deniable, sure, but what will denying it get you? If people wanted to rub it in your face, saying “it’s not real” won’t stop them. If your workplace is going to fire you because of it, denying it won’t stop them from firing you.
I enjoyed that movie and never have I said “What is going on???” more times than watching that movie.
This issue (along with many others) is due to one simple fact -- the internet is still primarily about presentation and rendering not information. We had both client-side template-based rendering and Semantic Web initiatives -- these failed for various technical and non-technical reasons at the time, but I'm hoping we go in that general direction again at some point. Nobody else should be able to (definitively) decide what information I want and how it should be presented to me. We only get the Internet that the majority are willing to put up with.
Is it unethical to avoid looking at billboards?

If not, what if I had a special pair of glasses that obscured such billboards or other physical advertising? It's not possible today, but not that hard to imagine in the near future.

How are these situations different from blocking ads on the web?
You can't profit your way out of a problem you profited yourself into. There will never be enough people setting up PiHoles to offset the value of spying, and it's publishing platforms like StackOverflow that suffer.

I would hardly call wxmaxima a “nice frontend” for maxima. It doesn’t even render equations nicely (in LaTeX), say. The emacs or LyX frontends are much nicer.
Over-ear headphones for me get too uncomfortable during the day, either too hot or they press down too hard on the sides of my glasses.

Currently using the Shure 535 in ear monitors - only real complaint with them is that the bluetooth adapter it shipped with was not hi-def so I ended up shelling out extra for one that is (was worth it though)
That isn't a burden of proof though, which is what the question asked for.

You're basically saying that Reddit should never ban subreddits, which means that you don't even have a burden of proof for banning a subreddit. This means no matter what you're always against banning a subreddit on a privately owned website, yet you fawn at other reasons to justify it (fringe users, not enough data points, etc.)

Your proposed solution instead is that admins should police every user, when mods fail to, which just isn't scalable. Especially when the barrier to just creating a new account to bypass the ban is so low.
Some people (myself included) have trouble wearing noise-cancelling headphones for a long period of time. Something about the active cancellation is uncomfortable.

I have used a Sennheiser HD 380 for several years now and love it. It has better audio quality than my Bose QC25 (though not as good as something like an HD 650). It doesn't have active cancellation, but it is still pretty good about passively blocking noise.
I think that was a large factor, but I think constantly showing ads for Chrome to anyone who views google.com in a different browser and telling them their browser is bad was a bigger factor.
> I've never read a code base where I thought the type system was doing a good job of being a DSL for describing business requirements

Would refinement types help in that respect? For example, the F* language. https://www.fstar-lang.org/

I don't have any experience with "business" code, but my naive understanding is that application-level code is typically very monomorphic which is exactly where refinement types are useful, whereas the OP leverages polymorphism to a large extent (not necessarily), and that works well for general-purpose libraries which don't and must not care about their users' data.
990’s and 598’s are both open back so they are not really comparable to M50’s. M50’s are great though, a lot of people in my office use them. Though you did pique my interest with the 990’s since I have a pair of 598’s I use at home and I love them, so would be interested to check the 990’s out.
