I can imagine it being much, much worse in America.

You have an underclass who cannot afford to go to hospital or see a doctor, which extends well up into the low end of the working middle class.

You have employers who penalize workers for self-quarantine.

You have vicious mistreatment of undocumented people that makes them scared to draw official notice anywhere.
Who says it's the ugliest color in the world? No citation in the wikipedia entry. It just looks like a generic military camp color to me (whether or not it actually is used that way, that was my first thought on viewing the color).
I often resort to taking a look at the Wikipedia article about the company, if they have one, and usually that tells me in a few lines the no-nonsense version of what the company or product actually does.
Tap water? There are filtration systems for those living where the tap water is not drinkable.
What more companies should look into is YouTube advertising. You have many youtubers including myself who get paid from multi-billion dollar companies every month to deliver their message to a highly targeted niche market. It's a better alternative to Ad Sense and you'll get quadruple the impressions for a similar price. The landing page is what it is though, if it doesn't capture the customers attention, that's the fault of the company paying to advertise.
Can you cite what case law backs up that reading?
Touchscreen usability is still very poor for things other than scrolling, there are obvious improvements blocked on tech building blocks.
From the paper:

> For 1Tb device the estimated mass change is 2.5 × 10^-25 Kg.

I don't actually know how precise we're currently able to measure mass, though.
That, I guess, depends on how your body is used after you die and who the user is.
Insurance covers things to a point as others mentioned, but you may not know what tests or procedures they'll run. Will all the doctors you see be "in-network". Sometimes ambulance trips are not covered if you don't get admitted, so it's a gamble. It's exactly what we'd want a life critical service to be. (/s).

In addition to that, workplaces also give out limited number of sick days, so people don't go to the doctor and go to work instead. They ride in public transportation to get there, maybe stop at the store on the way back if symptoms haven't gotten too bad, handle some produce and so on. Well we see where this is headed. I think once something like this virus comes to a large city in US, it just has a pretty good chance of spreading and in large to our broken healthcare system.

WRT. hierarchy, I don't know what exactly Aristotle meant (I need to get off my butt and read about his work one day), but taking the expression "see human political organization as fundamentally hierarchical" - well, it kind of is. Bottom-up hierarchy is still a hierarchy.

The way I see it, people create a level of governance once their group crosses the Dunbar's number. Below it, it's easy for a group to self-police, enforcing coordination and resolving prisonner's-dilemma-like problems (tragedy of the commons, etc.). Above it, when people don't generally know everyone else in their group, you need some power delegated to a single authority to enforce coordination. And now if you take a lot of such groups, they'll have problem coordinating at an inter-group level, so another level of governance is needed - and now you have a two-level hierarchy. Repeat recursively as groups grow.

(There's also a point somewhere above Dunbar's number, where governance of a growing group becomes untenable, so that group gets effectively or explicitly split into many smaller ones. This feeds the creation of the second layer of governance, and thus the third, etc.)

WRT. the following who you respect and not who you're told to, I think a lot of problems with governance start in the second generation. When a governance is formed, the group may have chosen it out of respect, but the people born into that group after that had no say in the matter, and are just told to obey by everyone else.
There are four citations to newspaper articles about a study from Australia, right after it says

I felt "watched" for the first week, then it is just normal, like working in an office. The difference disappears.
They simply won't turn their GPS on.
This isn't about throwing away radar, it's about augmenting the current system with more accurate data for better and safer management of airspace.

Most airplanes already rely heavily on GPS for their own navigation. If GPS is being jammed (or having any other clear issue) they'll fall back to their many other redundant navigation instruments.

If you want to be scared, be scared about spoofing of ILS signals, where a couple of dozen feet of error can be fatal.

It's still likely to be an improvement. I tend to doubt hospital janitorial staff are cleaning bed/equipment wheels between every patient currently, let alone things like the ceiling tiles.
> What is the user experience after you die?

HN is the PERFECT PLACE for such questions.

I expect it is similar to loss of consciousness from anesthetic, like propofol: a few seconds of fading awareness followed by nothingness. The difference is you don't wake up and marvel at not remembering anything while under the effect of anesthetic.

Surely not though - we're talking about information.

You don't need electricity flowing for the light switch to store information. In fact, the light switch could have no spring in it, allowing it to be in an infinity of different states.

So let's imagine a board with two such light switches. I set one to 0.9998128376666.. and the other to 0.26757328888... - out of the infinite number of possibilities, how do we quantify the information that I've just stored in these light switches, to determine how much their weight should have changed?

It's a silly question. It's a bit like saying "If a tree falls in the forest, do birds contain sodium?" Of course the two halves of the question are related tangentially, but putting them together like this is totally meaningless. Oooh... and nests are a thing, so, is it trees falling in the forest that causes nests? (dark matter)

See Anwar al-Awlaki for some evidence of how the US applies constitutional rights to citizens abroad when they are considered enemies of the state

That upper limit is probably orders of magnitude higher than we’re currently dissipating. We could blanket every city and town with permanently heated streets, and - as long as we stopped pumping water vapour into the dry upper troposphere - we wouldn’t even notice an increase in temperature.

The big problems are 1) gigatons of soot coming over the north poles, permanently lowering the albedo of the planet and 2) pumping water into the dry upper atmosphere via jet exhaust, creating permanent cloud layers where they didn’t exist.

Solve those two issues, and we’d have a much more interesting debate...
Its complicated, there are usually certain assets you can keep in bankruptcy in the US like your primary residence
Having dealt with this issue while overseas and having done some previous searching, the question of whether the Constitution applies to Non-Citizens residing outside of the US is unclear in law.

Note, the distinction here: Someone who is residing outside of the US.

"Assange does not enjoy First Amendment protections because he is not a US citizen and because the amendment allegedly does not protect speech made outside the United States"

Julian Assange is an Australian Citizen who was residing in the United Kingdom and was not being held by agents of the US Government. It's unclear under what precedent he would enjoy protections under the US Constitution.

I'm confused then, we seem to be in agreement? If you're not a professional day trader, and you don't trade crypto as a primary source of income, then are your trades not "personal" going by the definition you gave?
Not even spoofing the receiver; spoofing what the aircraft sends to the base station.
You said "It's a little hard to imagine 2010 devices keeping up in 2020, but I'm sure that 2030 will be kinder to 2020 hardware.". I'm saying (as are others), that at least the first clause of this sentence seems wrong. It's not hard to imagine that at all.
There was a crisis in garbage collection a few years ago, but that seems to have been mostly resolved by political change (effectively, a socialist, progressive, anti-corruption mayor).

The problem that the previous poster is referring to is more that people just don't care a lot about things like dirty streets, pollution, noise, chaos, crowds, etc. They are actually super relaxed about things that would cause people in other places to throw fits. But this also contributes to a kind of decadence.
Which library in the top 100 that you used had documentation (or lack thereof) that wasn't sufficient to understand how to accomplish the task at hand?
I'm not sure I understand this. There's a pretty clear non-establishment clause in the constitution, for starters.

After this, my thoughts may be off - I'm not a religious person at all.

Second, wouldn't religious people be wary of government religion? Shouldn't a religious person be afraid that the "religion" that results from government funding be inferior to the organic, god(s)-inspired real thing?

Third, shouldn't we as a society avoid funding specific religions, to avoid making some fraction of the populace angry that we're funding "the wrong religion"? It's my understanding that each religion claims to be the one true faith, and all others are either bad, or even inspired by evil. Government funding seems guaranteed to raise hackles of whatever religions don't get money, which will be some of them, right?
I would imagine the cost of isolating patient zero like this is much lower than letting it spread.
But the moment he's tried in a US court or lands in the US presumably he has those rights.

We don't treat tourists under a different Constitution or deny them 1st amendment rights.
Reminds me of the book The Joy of UX
I believe you, but I have a standard account and run lots of searches (maybe a couple hundred a month?) without running into this issue. I expect by 'several' you must be doing several hundred searches a month to get that issue, or scrolling through lots of profiles (looking at 10 pages of results for each search).

I often do searches as an exercise with clients live, and I use the filters (location, title, etc.) to try and target results so I'm not scrolling through pages of profiles.
I wonder what a good approach would be for jobs which need to be done, but are harmful to the people doing them?

They talk about "the industry-leading wellness program and comprehensive support services we provide" - but should there be a basic standard of support set which they have to meet?

I'm not sure of what a good answer would look like.
> If you can answer that question, you will also be able to manage your time efficiently, because you will always be directed toward that purpose.

I have answered that question, and I still procrastinate by negotiating myself out of progressing towards that goal, and then regret doing that but do it again the next time. It may be a valid solution for some, but it's not one size fits all (same as all of the solutions proposed). The real trick is to try all the proposed solutions, and find what works for you.
The Darkness Where the Future Should Be
There's a strong Constitutional construction argument that argues the Constitution applies to all people regardless of citizenship if the government intends to put legal binding upon them and we are not in a state of war.

But I believe the US executive branch has not ascribed to that legal philosophy since at least George W. Bush's presidency.
I use an app, DevonThink. It lets me put downloaded pages into folders, with an auto classification function. I have full text search on the pages.

I don't see why the patient would pay for it. If the country / state wants him quarantined and treated by a robot then they are going to have to take that upon themselves.

Otherwise the person could just choose to freely infect as many people as they want because they can't pay for specialized treatment.
that is kind of the point of brexit. UK elites have been frustrated at not having the kind of totalitarian control they desire thus far
> Just in Cardiff alone the police spent 3 million pounds in this technology.

This is and also isn't a lot of money. It's a small amount for an infrastructure project, but it's still 10 pounds per citizen.

You might manage to build a two lane car bridge for that same amount of money. Or a mile of road.
This is off-topic in a discussion of silver bullets, but what advantages do you see in ido-style completion over icomplete? They feel very similar to me and icomplete is built-in, so I went with that.
I think it's something that's a person by person fix; much like the 100's of methods of task management there could probably 100's of methods of task management for folks with ADHD. For me, I've been playing around with implementing a deadman's switch on my Trello board using Butler, and it's been an interesting experiment. Essentially I have a task that has to be 'completed' each morning before 10am, if I don't I'll get an email that it's overdue, if I do complete it Butler will set a new due date for the next work day @ 10am.

It's been one of my better attempts at trying to circumvent the 'scorched earth' leaving of the task management process.
Really terrorism is like the Spanish Flu - while not good it is the knee-jerk excessive reaction that is the true threat.

I suspect it is a matter of ideology and psychology. Just emptying an AR-15 clip into substations throughout a country isn't "exciting" or "sexy" even if it would be very effective saboage. It is boring and doesn't validate their ego or whatever statement they want to make. It would be petty vandalism and not even inspiring to those already radicalized to their cause. Plus while causing damage and disruption it isn't exactly terrifying - the aftermath involves selling bonds and overtime for repair and manufacturing. Even if it kills it is far less traumatic than direct violence.

Atomwaffen are essentially the only group I know of who would actually have something like that as a goal instead of a potential method. They are essentially an example of the theory of fascism as a death cult insanely trying to control their own mortality it by inflicting death upon the other. Thankfully they are fundamentally incompetent losers.
Debug.trace is handy and horrifying indeed :)
Diplomatic immunity typically covers families. The point of immunity is that a diplomat (or their family or staff) can't be arrested and threatened with the law in order to influence the diplomatic process.

Thus it is really a matter of whether her husband was legitimately working as someone with immunity.

Everyone says no. But if it's something like the CIA involved, event the UK gov't may only be going through motions of outrage for appearances and not trying to actually win an extradition.

Even when you do have 'good' insurance...

When I had severe hypokalemia and was effectively paralyzed several years ago [1] (sorta comical read) they never once asked me about my dietary intake, instead they assumed I had some rare genetic disorder (in the ER the doctor literally told me "we're googling your symptoms") and once I was admitted they paraded 3 doctors through my room and billed me for 5 or 6 'consults'.

While I considered my insurance to be 'good' getting dinged for each of those 'consults', 2 times each, despite only ever having seen 4 doctors total (one an ER doc that was probably a year or two into his medical career) face to face once each I ended up paying 10-12 different 'consul' fees, then a portion of the ambulance, then a portion of the room, the two different physical therapists they sent by after declaring me a 'fall risk' since I came in functionally paralyzed, then a portion of all the tests. From the time I set foot in the ER until I left I was there about 37 hours.

All they had to do was give me some oral and IV potassium and I was fine. I actually diagnosed it myself, with no medical training whatsoever, in the ER unable to move 45 minutes before they did. My mother was there and after I'd somewhat calmed myself (I could not move, I could barely move my fingers) I told her it was probably a sodium potassium imbalance and I could probably still make it to work for overtime that morning. I ended up paying a little bit under 7k$, 1/4 of my gross income at the time, with my 'good insurance'. Took me 4~ years to pay it all off.

This is a good analysis, going to the core of the issue.but:

>> all you can do is push it underground (as in, "I'm so important that I don't even need to play" or "I disdain all who play, and am therefore superior to the rabble who do"), which doesn't solve anything.

It's possible to teach people humility.

And it's not pushing it underground - It's a good social skill to have if you want to collaborate with other people.

Keep in mind to do garbage collecting you are essentially trying to intercept high-speed objects that likely have no telemetry. If your speed and orbit aren't correct, or if there's shrapnel or other debris, you'll destroy your ship.

And you can only pickup garbage that's in a similar orbit too.
In this case, "because they want Assange." If one country refuses to play ball in extradition cooperation, another can exercise their own national authority to compel them with tit-for-tat. Another nation is one of the few institutions powerful enough to do so.

True, IronPython3 isn't ready and with 2.7 EOL I would say that it may not be a great fit for someone currently weighing up their options between it and pythonnet to use in a current project.

Development on IP3 is, however, still very alive and active so I wouldn't consider the entire project dead:

No, the one I saw was different. They were walking around the world and shooting stone building walls. They also weren't part of a conference. The video was just their screen split with their code on one side and the game window on the other. I'm pretty positive it was Common Lisp too because I think I was looking for SLIME videos at the time.

Far, far less. Search a company like "Airbnb", view employees, filter the results by geo, job title, whatever, and parse through the pages. Do this a few times with different companies and you get blocked. I don't do this often, certainly less than 20 times per month, and hit the paygate. Perhaps they have different limits for different accounts, but I have never, ever conducted hundreds of searches.

I don't think that translates well here. There aren't very many new projects being started up using Fortran. There are some. But the vast majority of Fortran is shrinking legacy because we have better solutions to those problems today (R/Python for Fortran).
