Out of curiosity; why force it if you suspect it of being frozen on? I'd get an extension cord and a hair dryer/heat gun and warm the brake cable/linkages and rear brake assembly. You'd just have to get it warm enough to get an ice fracture started, then the force of actuating the brake should do the rest if it's an old fashioned one.

Just be careful, and make sure your electrical cord is in good condition, and you should be fine. Bonus points in that you get an excuse to nab the Mrs./Ms. hair dryer for a good laugh when someone inevitably sees you giving your car a good blow down.

I'd be incredibly leery of trying to force anything through engine output/mechanical vibration alone. Always try undoing the environmental complication first. It's much less prone to causing costly repairs, and easier to do than it seems. A car cover that goes to the ground, and a beefy enough space heater underneath the cover in the morning might do the trick too. Although winds can make the heat gun/hair dryer + point heating work better.

Brake fluid doesn't freeze, but any water it manages to have pulled out of the air will. In fact if you have too much water in your brake lines from moisture absorption from the atmosphere because you were fiddling with the master cylinder, or using fluid that had a chance to absorb significant moisture, you could get large enough concentrations of water to get some crystallization started. Normally though, hydraulic brake systems in good condition shouldn't have a problem with that. In the unlikely event you do, the amount of ice shouldn't threaten the physical integrity of the system, and warming the brake lines would resolve it. Note that having enough water for that to happen gas probably made your braking sponge though, and you should really flush your brakes at that point when you get a good dry day.
>No, not really. Have you forgotten about the Gulf War Illness?

No, I didn't forget, but I disagree that it cost much to deal with. As I remember, the VA just completely ignored it, so it probably didn't cost the taxpayer much at all. Sure, it was terrible for the vets who suffered with it, but that's a different matter.

There is a global 'war on cash' by the finance lobby because they can easily insert fees on every electronic transaction, while at the same time hyper-virtualise their operations.

I tried to build my own OSM server a couple months back. I quickly abandoned when I discovered that the amount of processing to import their world map data file in Postgres would require several months (desktop Core i7 3770k / 16 GB ram but a 7200 rpm hard drive since there wasn't enough space on my SSD).

For a world map server you would need a beefy machine to make it less painful, something like 64 GB ram, multi nvme ssd and countless cores.

I wish they offered a Postgres dump of it.
Apple's claims of better quality for the higher price seem plausible until you see the growth rate of their cash hoard. They have the opportunity, every day, to do better by the customers by spending more to make products better, but every day they choose to pocket the extra money, instead.

What customers are left with is just price-signaling, which, while it has value of its own in customer circles, competes with the always-hovering sucker-signaling. Once the latter pops to the top, momentarily, all the price-signaling for new products instantly transmutes into sucker-signaling, and only people with older machines will have any left.

High prices and sucker-signaling do not make a strong brand. Flirting with sucker-signaling is a dangerous game.

I remember Metal Gear Solid having movie-style credits at the beginning and end of the game that feature his name, I wonder if that's the origin?
Trade offs yes. I think I understand now that you meant that it is common that application-level priority inversion is not automatically avoided by the OS -- programmers still need to worry about it. Even if theoretical solutions exist, they may not be available on your chosen platform, or they may need to be manually configured (e.g. PTHREAD_PRIO_INHERIT).
I evaluated OSM for an AR real-world strategy game (like pokemon go) I was building years ago (terramango.com), as implementing it would have saved hundreds of thousands of dollars. Problem with it in the US is that so many places don't have parcel boundaries, and if they do, they are often pretty far off from reality. We ended up using Google Maps (cost wasn't an issue yet because we were only in a private beta stage) and negotiated a limited free trial for parcel data from a private supplier. The private supplier scrapes county records (some of which are only available in person, and other countries charge a fee for access) and their records almost always lined up with Google's parcel boundaries, OSM did not.

Other countries I randomly spot checked did seem to have great OSM records though.

It is a crime to lie to federal agents in the course of a criminal investigation

I understand that that's how the system works today. I object to it.

1) It doesn't account for fallibility of human memory, and our propensity to make mistakes. I believe that it's easy to badger a person to the point where they're intellectually disoriented, and "lies" become likely even without the suspect have bad intentions.

2) The asymmetry is a problem. Law enforcement routinely lies to suspects. Why is it okay for them morally?

3) We're told that these laws are necessary to prevent obstruction of justice, but it appears that these charges are frequently (maybe usually) when there was no obstruction at all: the police knew exactly what the truth was. They were setting a trap for the suspect, trying to get them to incriminate themselves in a different way.

"Wouldn't it be more fair it the Times waited until after the election to publish this piece?"

No.

"They used to know better"

Wrong again:

1. They should have published it.

2. That article from the Bush era revealed something. The article posted here today is an editorial that doesn't reveal anything new. Instead it discusses a report from a government agency.
Probably not.

Some people will certainly regard you as a red flag (which is good, because you will not want to work for those) but others will hold you in higher regard or even first get to know of you because of what you did and the publicity surrounding that.

Since job interviews are so much about standing out from all other candidates, having done something outstanding seems like an excellent way to increase your chances of getting a job.

What you write is nationalist bull on many levels.

1. German banks were exposed, yes, but they were not much more exposed than banks in other EU countries. Look at the table in [0]; total absolute exposure of German banks is second after French banks. If you normalize this to the size of the respective economies, many other countries' banks were more exposed, including Belgium, The Netherlands, Cyprus.

2. The whole thing was an action of the EU and IMF, not of Germany specifically, and the table in [0] should sufficiently explain why, even if you take the most cynical possible view.

3. The whole concept of a "German bank" is a bit ridiculous in a globalized economy.

4. The idea that Germany can just go ahead and "use EU funds" is nonsensical. That's the EU's money, and Germany is a part of the EU.

I telecommute every Wednesday and attend a lot of meetings in a global company virtually. If every attendee is telecommuting, it works well. If some are physically present, sotto voce comments are my nemesis. Folks in the room can hear them just fine, and frequently they are hilarious (judging by the laughter). For the distant attendee, the microphones do not work well enough yet. Once that is tidied up, I can imagine much more adoption of no-office corporations.

Not really, as someone who has actively owned business in Russia and traveled extensively in the former USSR, the agency was merely renamed "FSB". Also, all the Babushkas (old ladies) that sit out in apartment courtyards are still on the payroll and still report any interesting informatsey to the authorities. Nothing has changed.

I once had business dealings with a former American head of the KPMG accounting offices in Moscow. They were raided too. After he handed over all the documents the Russian colonel in charge of the raid on site praised him mockingly: "You are a good corporate citizen".

> It is a crime to lie to federal agents in the course of a criminal investigation. You can avoid committing that crime by not lying to agents.

Just because something is illegal does not mean it should be illegal - and as far as dumb ass things to be illegal goes I think lying to the FBI is high up on that list.

There is already obstruction of justice which is significantly more reasonable a crime to charge someone with and if your lying was not obstruction of justice I don't see why the FBI should get to jail you for it.
The election isn't for another year. What's the horizon that you're going to make us wait for?

This question has nothing to do with Trump and the election. It's about the misbehavior of our law enforcement and courts. That's a present danger, and important to address ASAP.

> Witness Martha Stewart. Now, she’s not your average citizen, but you can see how they railroaded her. Yup, they didn’t get her on FTC violations, nope, they got her for “lying”. If she’s not guilty of a crime how the hell do you get people for “lying”.

The Martha Stewart case is a prime example of why you should never talk to investigators. Never help any investigator. Ever. I'm pretty sure you can find something to hang me by if you let me ramble for hours.

I've read criminal defense lawyers advise people that they first contact a good lawyer before contacting the police (and have them present during any communication) if their spouse is missing.

What we have to remember is it is just a job for law enforcement and prosecutors. It is best to think of them as machines that act on some kind of feedback loop (incentives). We cannot directly make improvements to the machines. We have to try to change the incentive structure if we want any change in how the machines work.

So the question is: what are the incentives and what needs changing?

Twitter gets free bandwidth but still gets to profit off of the centralized social index? We call that the "bitchute effect".
Nope, that's outright wrong (and from other replies you should have learned that by now, so why keep reiterating something false?). Anyways...

The total amount of carbon in circulation is what matters because that part can end up in the atmosphere as carbon dioxide where it shows its heat capturing effects.
Trees fix carbon while growing and emit it while decomposing but do not change the total amount of carbon in circulation in the long term.

Digging up carbon that has been locked away for aeons is what is so damaging. There would be nothing bad about burning oil IF that oil were produced by capturing carbon dioxide. We do not do that. We dig up loads of fossil resources and add them to the cycle.

If that explanation was too complicted, here is an easier one: fill a bucket to the brim with water, take a cup and start scooping and pouring back to the bucket. Everything is fine. Now get a second bucket full of water and start pouring into the first (material so far not in circulation is added to it). You see the problem?

If you still insist on your view with burning coal and trees being equivalent, then I challenge you to conduct the water-bucket experiment in the middle of your living room. I mean it wouldn't do no harm, right?
>I know where this ends; been there done that. The programmer implements all those options in a configuration panel, the user looks at it saying "uh... too complicated" (0), shuts down and uninstall the software then chooses an easier one that forces mostly predefined options on a dumbed down panel, only to complain later that it can't do this and that therefore a more powerful one is needed.

This is exactly correct, except maybe for the very last phrase (usually, I think users just put up with the dumbed-down software and just complain about how it doesn't do exactly what they want, and when someone suggests an alternative that has more configuration options, they reject it, saying that they don't want to deal with all those configuration options).

We saw this on Linux desktops with the KDE-GNOME war, and this is with users who are generally considered to be more technically inclined than your average Windows user. Gnome users would complain about options and features being removed, KDE users would point out that KDE has all these features and lots of configurability, and complaining Gnome users would reject it saying it's too complicated and they don't want to deal with all those configuration options. Somehow, the idea of simply leaving the options at the defaults (except the one or two they wanted to change) was completely incomprehensible to them.

Users don't really want freedom of choice. They want something that reads their mind.

There's kind of a big difference there...
I think you will run into conflict of interest issues with having your employer pay you to use your product. It might fly at some places, but I would be hesitant of running afoul of all manner of issues if there could be a perception that you are leveraging your employment position to profit your own company. Especially if your employer accepts money from the government.

I agree with the first two though. I personally am leery of suggesting the use of my own products and services to a current employer, and would only do it if it's very clear that there's both not other great options and that there's not a conflict of interest (decision maker is in another department for instance) and recognize that I may need to quit my job to avoid the perception of a conflict of interest or legal issues with government grants or other awards that may prohibit employees from also being vendors.

It's definitely riskier than just not using your personal projects at work unless your employer is actively pursuing using it fully independently (ex: your project is the only good solution to a problem and it's unreasonable for your employer to be the only people who can't use it). But even then, I'm largely unable to do work that only I can possibly do (i.e. I worked on two projects as an independent contractor for my current employer before they were my part-time employer) for people in another department despite being part time simply because it's too much of a mess to get it approved. I could probably get it done, but it's a huge hassle and not worth it for $1.

But your current employer might also take major issue with you having a side business selling to their competitors stuff that they want to use, regardless of the technical legality... at the least you might get fired even if you've done nothing legally wrong it might be against their employment guidelines to do this if you're a full time employee. I specifically chose to be part time because I still do contract work on the side (and make more money doing that than I do at the part time job, but I really enjoy my part time job so I don't mind).

Creating value and capturing value are different things. If you start doing open source, you shouldn't except money. If you want money, you should do something that people usually pay for.

It is common knowledge that open source can be very difficult to monetize. If you are smart enough to program good software you should be able to understand also that. Also if you can program good quality open source software, it shouldn't be difficult to switch to the "evil capitalistic" side and code some software with an actual business model.

It is best to work on open source at the point where you have enough savings so you don't need the money. Creating open source with the exception of monetization is just stupid - sometimes it happens but usually not, and that should be excepted.
The "Plain Language Summary" is as follows:

"Frozen water is a very strong heat conductor compared to typical Martian regolith. As a result, near-surface ice measurably influences seasonal surface temperature trends, and the depth of the H2O table controls the amplitude of this effect. We leverage this influence on orbital temperature observations using a numerical heat transfer model to derive regional and
local maps of the ice depth on Mars, at much higher spatial resolution than previously available. We show that water ice is present sometimes just a few cm below the surface, at locations where future landing is realistic, under mobile material that could easily be moved around. This ice could be exploited on-site for drinking water, breathable oxygen, etc., at a much lower cost than if brought from Earth."

The old joke of "We find water on Mars every 18 months" is only true when observing though the lens of popular media and newspapers. The references section of any of these publications are clear evidence that no one has forgotten the earlier evidence.
