Already answered, but it was QnX.
You can talk the talk, but walking the walk is a different story. The OP was referring specifically to the latter - that Navalny indeed is one of the bravest, and that most people lose all their enthusiasm to object as soon as they or their loved ones are put a gun to their head (both literally and figuratively speaking). It's not cynical to observe and note this fact of life in an authoritarian state, it's simply being honest with themselves.
Yep, it's pretty much the only way TV manufacturer's are able to compete these days too. I wish these kinds of things were considered market failures because if a gov't came in and forced the whole market to stop TVs would get a little more expensive but now they wouldn't feel like they had to sell their users out because everyone else is.

AdaptDL, an Open Source resource adaptive deep-learning framework from Petuum
AdaptDL from Petuum is an Open Source resource-adaptive deep learning (DL) training and scheduling framework. AdaptDL makes distributed DL easy and efficient in dynamic-resource environments such as shared clusters and the cloud. AdaptDL can automatically determine the optimal number of resources given a job’s need and will add or remove resources dynamically to ensure the highest-level performance.

During our benchmark studies when using AdaptDL with Amazon Web Services (AWS), we recorded a reduction in cost by up to 80% when AdaptDL was set to automatically provision spot instances on AWS when available.

AdaptDL can automatically determine the optimal number of resources given a job’s need. It will efficiently add or remove resources dynamically to ensure the highest-level performance. Using a scheduler to leverage elasticity, AdaptDL quickly scales resources in and out of clusters to adapt to a changing availability pool allowing for faster job completion and more efficient resource allocation.

Learn more on how AdaptDL works and how to use this here: https://medium.com/@Petuum/introducing-adaptdl-424f6d8ae4cc
Historically, almost all autocrats have been overthrown because people sacrificed their lives to oppose them.

In some cases, it happened literally in a revolution. In other cases, it was because a popular figure was assassinated.

Since a revolution is impossible against a major military power, it's likely that the latter is one of the only ways to inspire popular action (other than total collapse of the economy, of course).
Ideally you'd like to understand the mechanism so that you can isolate and optimize the the effect, as well as predict possible interactions/side effects.

I think you put yourself in more danger when you hand over your ID at every bar, liquor store, hotel [...] you go to. These people are local, build a relationship with you, aren't accountable like a government worker/contractor, and can easily get to your home.

I'm someone who speeds. I should work on it, but I have a habit of speeding.

But I'm the first person in line wishing we had extensive speed cameras and stopped letting cops pull people over.

A speeding camera is impartial, it's not going to pull me over and grill me about who really owns the car as if a black guy can't own a nice car

(and before you say it, standard operating procedure for cops is asking if it's your car, it's not asking if it's your car then insisting it's probably not)

A speeding camera isn't going to unholster a weapon because my 2 seat car doesn't have a glovebox where they expected it to be

A speeding camera doesn't care that "I'm not from around here" and isn't going to ask why I'm there and maybe give me a ticket because it was having a bad day and doesn't like the outsiders.

Whether we should ID for flights is it's own thing, but as long as we're doing it, I'm very for removing humans from the loop when it comes to unsophisticated enforcement. ie. AI shouldn't tell us who to stop, but it should be used when everyone is subject to the same stop

I'm pretty excited about Solar Foods; since it's "just" an industrial-grade biological process, you could set it up in any suitable industrial facility.

My hope is that this would let us disconnect nutrition from crop-failure-due-to-weather (well, normal weather like drought or unseasonal rains) and (maybe) become post-scarcity with respect to nutrition. Just as solar, wind and batteries allow us to create reliable electricity sustainably and reduces energy prices, I hope this technology allows us to reduce the risk of famine and reduce the base cost of a (healthy) calorie.

Plus in theory this could be used to support space colonies, which I think would be a nice addition to humanity's skillset.

Another competitor in this space is the California-based company Air Protein.
>Yes, why?

Because 1 person can kill the 100s of others on board really easily. That's not true of any other means of transportation.

Edit:

People keep suggesting you could achieve the same result by:

* Blowing up the security queue \ lobby etc

* Blowing up a train\bus etc

* Blowing up a stadium

But this doesn't seem to be true. It's actually a lot less true than I thought.

A 747 carries 450+ people. An Airbus A380 carries over 850 people. A terrorist can kill them all with a single bomb. Plus people on the ground if they're over somewhere populated.

Compare that to the 7/7 bombings: 4 bombs, all large, detonated on very crowded trains (and one on a bus). They managed to kill 56 people total. Partly this is because jets are full of jet fuel, partly it's because anyone who survives ground attacks gets medical attention. Partly it's because you don't have to free fall 30k ft as well.

If the same 4 bombers took the same 4 devices onto planes, they'd might well have killed 1000s of people.

It's a surprising difference in effect. I hadn't realised it was this big a difference. But it's very clear. Blowing up a crowd or a ground based transport system is much less lethal than blowing up a plane.

“ A leaked 2015 counter-terrorism policy guide made the case more directly, warning agents that FBI “domestic terrorism investigations focused on militia extremists, white supremacist extremists, and sovereign citizen extremists often have identified active links to law enforcement officers”.”

Or just google about the LA Sheriffs department - notorious:

“ For decades, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department has struggled to combat secretive cliques of deputies who bonded over aggressive, often violent police work and branded themselves with matching tattoos.

A federal judge called out the problem nearly 30 years ago, accusing deputies of running a “neo-Nazi, white supremacist gang” named the Vikings within the Lynwood station. Others followed with names such as the Regulators, Grim Reapers, Rattlesnakes and the Jump Out Boys.”

Yup, government appropriations is about 38% of tuition. Part of tuition is also paid for by the government via various programs.

So if you want to look at total cost starting from the average amount a student pays as tuition you have to increase it by 38%. There are of course other intangibles paid for by the government such as the initial investment, often the land and a part of the endowment too.

So it is consequence fair to say that that tuition in state university is subsidized by the government.

> Kids don't universally like anything (good or bad for them--thats kids in general)

Didn't say they did. Just said there is a reason why they universally don't like one thing - school.

> so that argument is irrelevant.

The argument isn't irrelevant because it goes against your assertion : "Humans are social creatures". Schools weren't created to be social environments for kids. They weren't created for socializing. Kids don't socialize in a group of 1000 kids. Schools, in fact, prevent socialization. Kids tend to socialize after school. Everything you've said so far is indoctrination nonsense. If you wanted kids to socialize, school is the last thing you'd build.

> Family? Mom and Dad are 2 people? Did you follow the footsteps of either?

So no siblings, uncles, aunts, grandparents, cousins, etc? Also, do you have to follow in their footsteps to get your social needs from family?

> I grew up in an area where I was the only child within 6 blocks? Am I out of luck?

I wonder what people like you did before schools were invented 150 years ago? Is there a reason why you can't go out 7 blocks?

So you only had a father and mother in your family and were bound to a rule that limited you to 6 blocks?

> Edit: I am well-versed on both the history and current status of the education system. Both my parents and my spouse are full-time teachers.

Now I understand why you think the way you do. Just because your parents are school teachers doesn't mean they or you know the history of the education system. Actually, the fact that your parents worked for the system incentivizes you to ignore the history of the modern school system. It's what happens when you rely on the system for a paycheck.

It isn't just the police. The government at all levels has laws which allow it to seize property from Americans and in most cases without recourse. Welcome to big government, where government officials and politicians do not have to answer for the laws and regulations they put forth. It is the regulatory state that is even more daunting as unelected officials can set rules and fines that are never voted on

A recent famous case was seizing and selling a persons house over an eight dollar tax payment.[0]

Through forfeiture and excessive fines government routines takes millions, tens of millions per year, from Americans each year. From losing your property over tax issues, forfeiture from police stops, excessive fines for property violations[1], to just simply losing money for trying to fly with it [2]

Why doesn't this get more attention here? Simple, this site seems to have a poisonous view of Libertarian issues and links to sites which cover these transgressions daily but are on Libertarian sites get flagged or down voted into oblivion.

Yes. In the '90s Soviet nuclear submarines were being sold on the black market.

Putin's grip isn't as tight as you think.

I'm not denying that Navalny was poisoned with Novichok. The question is who ordered it. I'm not convinced it was Putin.
I agree. Now that we have actual locks on the cockpit, I don't see why flying domestic requires ID but traveling the same route with high speed rail doesn't. The terrorism threat is comparable (trains also hold lots of people, and destroying the vehicle is the most I can realistically do), and both travel the same distance, making both of them good options to get away from local law enforcement.
Did you read my last line? Henry Ford used to send company men to the houses of his staff to inspect them. Read up on Walter Reuther to see how far that went in history. There were people killed by the company to protect its interests.
Interesting choice on one of those charts to truncate the "post-crash Bitcoin" price at end 2018. The price recovered to $10k by mid-2019 and has been relatively stable there since.

Yes, why does the government think that identifying all domestic air passengers is a big enough deal that they require it from nearly every adult?

What does the required id system gain over screening everyone, securing the cockpit door, and stopping the older policy of letting hijackers take over?

While, what does it cost? Cost in terms of stress (I've forgotten my id at one airport), in terms of extra staffing, and in terms of personal privacy?

And why isn't that cost/benefit document public?
A container with a request but without a limit should be scheduled as Burstable, and it should only receive allocations in excess of its request when all other containers have had their demand <= request satisfied.

A container without either request or limit is twice-damned, and will be scheduled as BestEffort. The entire cgroup slice for all BestEffort pods is given a cpu.shares of 2 milliCPUs, and if the kernel scheduler is functioning well, no pod in there is going to disrupt the anything but other BestEffort pods with any amount of processor demand. Throw in a 64 thread busyloop and no Burstable or Guaranteed pods should notice much.

Of course that's the ideal. There is an observable difference between a process that relinquishes its scheduler slice and one that must be pre-empted. But I wouldn't call that a major disruption. Each pod will still be given its full requested share of CPU.

If that's not the case, I'd love to know!

I remember years ago reading about Handel-C. A lot like Go with channels and threads and function calls. The way it synthesized the hardware was pretty simple conceptually. You could easily understand how the program flow was converted into a state machine in the hardware.

Not sure what happened it it. Maybe it did not optimize things enough.

>She was in the passenger seat when a state trooper clocked her car at 118 miles per hour on I-94 in St. Paul.

>When the driver, Syrgeo Perez, 30, refused a breathalyzer, he was arrested on suspicion of DWI and troopers seized Dietrich's car using Minnesota's forfeiture law.

Do you really think that seizure was completely and totally unwarranted given the circumstances? If I were her, I would make him pay whatever it took to get my car back.
It's still the military ignoring, which in effect deposes. the legal civilian government. It could be nonviolent but that'd require the whole military (and in the US probably the National Guard of each state) to go along with it. A coup is just "a sudden, violent, and illegal seizure of power from a government." invading another country without orders from the President definitely satisfies 2 of those conditions regardless of how smoothly it goes inside the country.

Your guess is correct. The signature is very different.

In order to reach LIGO's frequency band, the objects must be very compact. If they are too large, they touch before they can orbit each other at sufficiently-high (audio!) frequencies.

The Schwarzschild radius of the black holes in question are less than 100km in size, while the size of a star as small as our Sun is ~700,000 km in size.

Moreover, the compact objects (neutron stars, black holes) that LIGO can observe are exceptionally dense ( > 3x10^17 kg/m^3), while stars have roughly the density of water (1000 kg/m^3) on average, and much less at their extremities. Compact objects can disrupt nearby stars long before they could touch, spreading the "merger" across many, many years (many, many millenia, I suspect), rather than the fraction-of-a-second typical of a LIGO black-hole observation.

For a visual image of the interaction of a large/fluffy star with a compact object, have a gander at a few of these images:

> "The reality is we need fewer, higher paid police with an extremely high barrier to entry"

Fewer may not necessarily be the answer. The US doesn't have a huge number of police compared to other places and crime doesn't somehow disappear if you have fewer police.

For example, France has 429 per million, the US has 238. Austria has 314, Netherlands 295. The US is 101 out of 146 of the countries listed.

The answer to treated vs untreated hypertension right now is that we simply do not know. What we do know is that treated hypertensive patients don't appear to have significantly worse outcomes.

This article does a great job outlining the current state of the knowledge on the subject of Covid/hypertension as well as some clinical trials that should be posting results early next year [1].

I haven't seen any studies that try and tease apart all of the complex relationships amongst various comorbidities, but I think we have seen pretty conclusively that obesity is a very significant risk factor.

You should not run more than one application/service in a VM if you are worried about the performance. Then, you don't need to worry about configuration CPU limits. Kubernetes doesn't only slow down your application performance, it also increases your operating cost and team by several magnitudes.
He's not even trying to be a threat. He supports the annexation of Crimea. Generally isn't too critical of Russia on any big geopolitical issues. Doesn't even poll that well. Only his anti-corruption activism might have made him some enemies. But politically he only makes Putin look moderate.

Not fair to call it a "false flag" though as there's no obvious "flag" attached to this event. It's not like anybody has claimed the attack. There's a whole world of possibilities beyond "Putin ordered it" and "false flag". But whoever did it, it does seem like Kremlin is covering for them so at least partially morally responsible.

1 person might injure 100s with a bomb (in an airport lobby or a stadium or a train station etc), but most will survive because they will get medical attention rapidly and won't fall 30,000 without a parachute.

The 7/7 bombings in London killed just 56 people (including 4 bombers) with 3 bombs in packed tube trains underground (plus a bus). Compare that to a half full 747 where you would get 100% casualties.

And that's without crashing the plane into something...
