How would FTL communication work? Let’s assume we can literally communicate over any distance instantly. Do we come across as a bit slow to anyone orbiting star S62? “Wow, these earthlings sure are hard to work with. They just can’t seem to keep up!”

Do we have to remember that the people we communicate with have different experiences of time?

Gender identity, sexual orientation, native language. Temporal perception?

Honestly it doesn’t seem hard to overcome. But I do love the idea of shipping off a problem and having it done 20% faster.

But wait, aren’t they 20% farther along in evolutionary terms too? So isn’t that like a multimillion year advantage?
For anyone who’s interested in this, it’s called impressioning and is really cool. It basically uses the design of the lock (pins pushed down into the keyway by springs, preventing the cylinder from turning) in the attack by using the marks those pins make on a key, to gradually fashion a working key.
>He gave them the information when he got to China

Do you have any evidence to support this claim?

>I find it hard to believe that he gathered a ton of information that had nothing to do with his supposed reason for leaking the information, but didn't save a single email he could have sent to the people he tried to report it to.

Any such email would be classified information, and he destroyed his copies of all that information before leaving Hong Kong
Some level of compatibility will be good to have so that a lot of the Node modules can be used as is. However a lot of old standards etc can be thrown out.

Does it really matter? He revealed unconstitutional information to the press, all very forgiveable by the 1st amendment rights of every citizen. However, since the patriot act we live in only a semblence of a democracy, closer to that than an authoritarian government but unlimited surveillance is certainly on the list of things that is very very very good for when the government has started to get some momentum towards a dictatorship. the same despotic government our current administration seems to be trying to drag us kicking and screaming towards
How much carb is carb heavy? Tofu is 1:4 carb: protein and lentil is 1:1.

I'm unfamiliar with "pooled testing". I've read many universities plan on doing it with a saliva test. Is this something that's been done in the past? Frankly, it doesn't quite right to me but then again I'm not a scientist.

For me personally, Programming Elixir and Programming Phoenix, from the Pragmatic Bookshelf, were both very useful.

Quite a few of my students have said great things about Phoenix in Action, from Manning, and it looks to me like a fantastic resource for beginners. Elixir in Action is also top-notch and will show you what's special about the BEAM.

Amazon does not want to give a good service, Amazon wants to sell products. Your review could have negatively impacted Amazon sells.

I doubt that, currently, there is any law that forces Amazon or any other website to publish all reviews. They can pick and choose to float or sink any store.

Presidential pardon does not require approval from Congress, does it?
A lot of people believed Snowden's gross misreading of the documents he leaked, and that misreading paints a picture of deep state intelligence agencies run amok illegally spying on Americans. Of course, any literate person who reads the documents understands they don't support that picture, but there are enough barely literate QAnon believers to support an entire industry.
The context is a deep state out against Trump. Not a deep state that Trump and his allies are entrenched in...
Have you the counts of systems using ARM on Linux(Android) vs ARM in everything else? It's not even close.
I think there's a conflict between the essence of array languages (building a DAG of monadic (in the FP sense) operations and letting arrays flow through it) and the one dimensionality of a stream of symbols in a text file. Ben Lynn [https://crypto.stanford.edu/~blynn/c/apl.html] puts it best:

"Worse still, tacit hooks, forks, and ranks obscures the beautiful category theory connections: hooks and forks are function composition and application within the Reader monad, while adjusting the rank of a function corresponds to applying functors."

Hooks are a structured approach to this problem, while stacks are an unstructured one. And there will always be tension between the two for as long as the current textual model of programming is used (or maybe no matter what representation we use). How obscure are we willing to get in order to get closer to the beautiful DAG we have in our head?

I of course don't have a good answer to that, and I think the dominant paradigm of array languages has set to be discovered. APL gets us close, but we clearly agree that there's more work yet to be done.

Looking at your bytecode design, I was reminded of this old paper about building APL hardware: http://www.softwarepreservation.org/projects/apl/Papers/1970... . Not sure how relavent that is, but maybe it'll be the inspiration of a beautiful VM architecture!
The main issue I see with Trump's support of anything is the impact this support has on the cause.

I believe Snowden needs to be pardoned. He made the Public aware of the shady things that are done in its name.
So the Public needs to pardon Snowden for being a whistleblower and this can be voiced through the President, who is supposed to be the ultimate voice representing the Public and its interests.

However, Trumps motivations for doing anything have been fickle and marred in short-term political or personal popularity gain, sometimes to the detriment of the very thing he is supporting.

So supporting a pardon for Snowden is great but the reasons for doing so are really not clear and -as usual- not articulated in any sensible and reasonable way.

Maybe I'm wrong but this looks more like a political diversion to me, maybe a way to divert the outrage when he pardonned Stone -clearly a shady character if there was one- or just keep the news busy for a while.
That’s never how voting has worked in the USA though. The entire idea of even having an ID card is relatively modern.

We’ve had voting for centuries, and done it without ID requirements.

Not sure how ID requirements would work in the several states that have done all-mail-in ballots for decades successfully.
Deciding your position on an issue and deciding whether an individual should face the justice system are two separate things to me.
If underfunding the post office could combat fraud, that argument would make sense. In reality, a dysfunctional post office will have little effect on highly motivated fraudsters and will disenfranchise the millions of people for whom vote-by-mail isn't a mere convenience.

In fact Trump's rhetoric will be especially motivating for pro-Trump fraudsters who will feel morally vindicated by the endless accusations of fraud by Democrats.

i heard about them, never met :) They do exist in Russia, yet frequency of encounters seems to be low. An important factor is probably that weather there is colder (and usually wetter) than say here plus mosquitoes so going into the forest you usually have all your body covered.
This is one of the cool things about the Harvey Mudd College Engineering major. Rather than doing Mechanical Engineering, or Electrical Engineering or Cheese Engineering or whatever, you just do Engineering. Graduates leave with a full toolbox of skills. I kind of wish when I was an undergrad, I hadn't had such an aversion to practical knowledge (I started out majoring in Physics/English, then Math/English then dropped out of college to eventually get a BA in English).
> eBay does not use a consolidated product listing, much more like a bulletin board each sellers products being sold under it's own URL.

Try searching for a product on ebay right now and it's the exact same experience as Amazon. Both Amazon and Ebay's algorithms determine which usb drives show up first when searching for "usb stick", which is where 99% of their commerce is coming from.
If Amazon can get sued every time someone burns themselves with a knockoff product, I would think their incentives would shift from:

"Pay as little as possible for quality assurance, down to a floor of $0"

to

"Pay as little as possible for quality assurance, down to a floor of $whatever number would convince a court that we made a good faith effort to prevent knockoffs."

President is not responsible for pathetic Healthcare in California and New York. I'm always amazed how every single failure of the Democratic state apparatus is blamed on the President. Same deal with police brutality.
ATMs generally connect to a management system to retrieve configuration and report status. Like many back-end systems, these are often poorly designed and don't receive extensive security review. So if you can compromise one, there's an opportunity to potentially deliver a malicious configuration to a large number of machines at once.

Similarly, there are several ways that attackers can find ATMs on the internet or telephone system in bulk. Although the situation has improved, ATMs historically had very poor authentication for remote management (some likely still do) which made them vulnerable to malicious reconfiguration over the internet or telephone modem.
Physical stores don’t really have anything analogous to what’s going on here with Amazon. No random small business can sign up and get their products shelf space in Target or WalMart next to what Target buys and resells. Literally everything physically in a Target is something they bought, warehoused, and are reselling themselves.
I saw the article mentions labeling tools, so I want to pitch my open-source app for labeling I built for NCSoft, it is a web-based tool similar to labelbox but has a more modern look and feel than the OSS alternatives (it gained some momentum in the Korean tech circles):

It's one of the most impactful AVs when it comes to file r/w speed, especially on lots of small files. I have no idea why I still see people calling it lighter and faster than other AV options. It's not even like the performance loss is getting better protection. Products like Bitdefender and Kaspersky have better detection rates and don't murder performance. (Personally I just turn it off and don't install a replacement)
Depends on the item. I have had bad experience consecutively before with pricey electronics covered by Amazon prime and FBA.

To your second point, that reminded me that Japan's traffic signals use a different color "green" (looks more blueish) than the rest of the world and they have a common, named color that doesn't really map to blue or green in the rest of the world: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ao_(color)

The article's title is somewhat misleading. The warping of spacetime that this star is making visible is not the warping due to the star itself; it is the warping due to the huge black hole at the center of our galaxy that the star is orbiting.

Almost everyone thought mass surveillance was a conspiracy theory before Snowden.

The TSP was revealed in 2005, broader surveillance was broadly acknowledged publicly by the government in 2007, and a big, overt part of the FISA Amendments Act of 2009 was retroactive legalization of much of it. All of this well before Snowden.
No he didn't, he said no such thing.

If you listen to the video, all he did was say he knows nothing about the issues, but he'll "look into it." That's his standard line. He wasn't actually saying he was considering it at all. Honestly, I don't think he would really have any intention to pardon Snowden. It gains him no points with the left, and would damage him with his base supporters. That's probably why the media reported it, to try to get his supporters upset at him.

It's the same thing with the whole manufactured outrage of Kamala Harris and the question posed to him by the reporter. Trump didn't even mention Harris, and the reporter brought it up and asked him whether he heard about the report. Trump said that he knew nothing about it, and he would have assumed that the Democrats would have already validated Harris' eligibility, but he would "look into it." He never even made a point about it, it was obvious it was a non-issue to him. It's a meaningless statement that the media tries to use to make him look bad, and meanwhile it just lets his supporters keep saying that the media lies, which is true when they bend the truth like they do.
How hard would it be though to have a small GPS tracker in the same secured area the money is in? I know there are a few instances of people hauling them off but it doesn't seem that well thought out or any indication this is successful more than other modest robberies.
Define the term leaker. And then address if Snowden was that. Motivation doesn’t change the definition of the term.

How so? People regularly get several pieces of legitimate mail per week, not even counting spam which if you did they get countless pieces of mail per week. How can one extra piece of mail for the entire year cause an “unprecedented" volume? Maybe if voting involved daily notices being sent out for weeks on end it might move the needle but the presidential election is a far cry from that.
There is the joke where scientists lock an engineer, a physicist, and a mathematician each in a room with a bed and a can of soup. In the morning they open the rooms one by one.

In the first room the engineer is asleep and there is mangled open can of soup on the floor. They wake him up and ask about the soup can. And he says, I got hungry so I smashed the soup can against floor to open it.

Next room the physicist was sleep and the soup can open on the floor with the top cleanly removed. And equations scribbled on every wall. When the wake him up and ask about the soup can he proudly says, I got hungry so I figured out exactly where to hit the can so the top would fly off.

Upon opening the last room they find a bleary eyed mathematician holding the soup can saying 'assume the can is open'
The building my wife was living in in Chicago when we first met had this sort of garbage chute (it was a 1920s-era building). Sorting recycling is not an issue: Chicago found a low-tech way to deal with the sorting: blue plastic bags are reserved for recycling only.

Why give them the opportunity to do so?
I remember a similar joke from a book some years ago from the school:

An engineer, a physicist and a mathematician are on a train crossing an unknown country. Suddenly, the engineer leaning out of the window says: "in this country the sheep are black!"; the physicist corrects: "in this region of the country, some sheep are black"; the mathematician limits himself saying: "at least from one of their sides."

Yes, he should be pardoned. Just because toddlers can't distinguish the nuance between the following the law and discretionary breaking of it, it doesn't mean the rest of us with developed prefrontal cortex have to put up with spending taxpayer dollars on a trial just to show consistency.

People are more concerned about other people showing us shady things intelligence community does, than what Edward Snowden did. When intelligence community shouldn't be doing things Congress doesn't know about, which it does.

It also varies based on velocity. You can easily calculate the effect of gravity alone on a GPS satellite and it doesn't give you the right number.

But what's the difference between every physical process slowing down, versus time dilation? Unless you're arguing that somehow only clocks slow down, and not other things?
Mostly right but for the wrong reasons. Fission is on the way out as a widespread commercial scale power source buts that’s got everything to do with politics and economic up front costs and uncertainty of future electricity prices. The waste problem is only intractable because the politics are intractable, the technology part is not an issue. Political incentives simply are not set up to make it realistic for politicians to tackle the waste. Unless suddenly society becomes entirely populated by ultra rationalist super well educated people, there is no changing this current state.

In the Snowden case Trump has at least two reasons to pardon him: a) pander to a certain crowd (tech), b) stick a finger in the IC's collective eye.

In the Assange case Trump has at least one more reason to pardon him: so Assange can tell the world whether Seth Rich gave him the DNC emails. But if Trump even floats a pardon for Assange then the Swedish government might renew its claims against Assange and the UK might just extradite Assange to Sweden, then Trump couldn't get what he wanted. To pardon Assange Trump first has to get Assange extradited to the U.S., and he can't make a deal with Assange first either, and this means he can't pardon Assange yet. There's also no time for any of that before the election. The closer the election gets, the more reason (a) would dominate any reasoning about a pardon for Assange.

Some possible outcomes:

- Trump pardons Assange just before the election without having floated it, and possibly at the same time as Snowden.

- Assange finally gets extradited and either tried, or pardoned, or both, depending on who is President at the time. Hard to say what Trump might do then, since Assange would be no use to him then, and Biden would probably not pardon if Seth Rich really did furnish the DNC's emails to wikileaks.

- Trump wins the election, the charges get dropped, and Sweden does not renew its charges because now Assange would be no help to Trump's campaigns.

- Trump pardons Assange after the election, whether he wins or loses.

- Eventually the UK rejects the extradition requests, Assange goes free, but effectively can't leave the UK because the U.S. could request extradition from any country Assange enters that has an extradition treaty with the U.S.

That is the only way to compete with Amazon. It is a race-to-the-bottom of quality and safety for the consumers.

Amazon takes what are common rules with their customers and their retailers and has broken all of them. Amazon competes directly with its retailers using the information that got from them. Amazon brands 3rd party retailers products as if server-by-Amazon but it takes no responsibility on delivery or quality.

Or Amazon is forced into compliance or we are going to go back to the middle-ages experience where everything is a flea market and weights and measures are never correct.
