>If mass enriching of uranium isn't part of 'nuclear weapons program', well, it's a funny definition you have

There is absolutely zero evidence that Iran is enriching uranium to weapons grade levels.

>t's the Iranian government calling 'death to [far away nuclear powers]' not the other way

Ignoring how the phrase "death to x" is an aggressive translation of "down with x," how is that worse than actually using weapons to attack Iran? Killing people is worse than saying they should die.

To be fair, gcc requires contributors to assign copyright to the FSF or dedicate their work into the public domain. Neither of which is required by the GPL's copyleft so if Apple used gcc, they could still make changes that can't be upstreamed due to gcc's policy.

They are not sovereign countries.

Both Scotland and England gave up their sovereign status when the Acts of Union were enacted, to form the United Kingdom of Great Britain.

Basically, Scotland, Wales, England, and Northern Ireland, are nations which comprise the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, which is the sovereign state.
My point is that everyone treats South Korea as being a 8 year old in a bad neighborhood.

As crazy as North Korea is, if they fire first, South Korea isn't just a sitting duck.

North Korea would probably be obliterated just from South Korea hitting back, let alone if anyone else allied to South Korea jumps in.

Micro scale MAD. North Korea is just grandstanding for food, it doesn't really mean that they will follow through. I mean, they're a dictatorship, so who knows.

A lot of people might buy cheap used cars in 2029 that might be on the road till 2040-2050. If he is serious about it, which is rare when officials promise something 10 years into the future, he would suggest a plan to provide the needed infrastructure.
That is, well..., rather bad. I imagine if this trend prevails in the future, we will see your plumber asking you if he can charge his transporter and deducting their charging cost from your invoice.
Or inexpensive (to install, not to use) and widespread charging becomes available in most locations.

A normal 13A socket will charge my Leaf in about 12 hours. The 8 hours of charge I’d get from plugging in at a parking bay during work hours would likely be enough for most people, but we have no current infrastructure for billing people at that scale (although I imagine it could easily be developed, still a massive undertaking to roll out widely in cities though).

We’d also need to be able to provide the massive increases in grid energy that would be required for that. Nuclear seems like it would be a good use case for this but that still seems like it would be a tough sell, even now.
Seconded.

i don't follow the space closely, but from my brief research it seems that 10 years ago there were almost no alternatives to petrol cars. On what premise do you think it would've been reasonable to ban petrol cars in that situation?
with the way UK is doing nobody will afford a car in 2030. maybe people on benefits, surely not the working ones
I’m not sure about the economics of it, but I’d rather drive a car powered by synthetic gasoline made from pulling carbon dioxide out of the air. No new CO2 combined with no restrictions on range & quick refueling times sounds like a win. I still don’t know where people will plug in all of these electric cars.
> I have also heard that Microsoft put lower priority on the x86 emulation layer, because they felt like if it was really good, developers would have no incentive to make native compiles.

It's not surprising to me, Microsoft has always prided on having backwards compatibility as much as possible so this is in character for them
yes if a precompiled version doesn't exist it will compile on your machine
What's the alternative? Destroy all petrol and diesel cars in 2029? If they didn't allow a transition period then it wouldn't go well.
I think we are still not sure if they are old memories or being rendered live.
> The dev does have the option of reverting their change.

Stopping the world seems like an automated process. So should reverting be. In fact, there should be no stopping the world at all, just reverting if the dev can't fix it within 72 hours. There might be cases where automatic reverting doesn't work, but those should still be managed through organizational processes, not by stopping the world.

Yet nobody did that. Maybe the criteria aren't so 'similar'.

>These restrictions were lifted in 2015 as part of the Iran nuclear deal framework. US unilateral withdrawal didn't change the fact that UN sanctions have been lifted.

These restrictions were not to be lifted immediately. That particular limit was due to expire only this October.

>ISIS got chance to exist mostly due to the US chaotic meddling in the region.

Maybe al-Qaeda + Assad and Iran's support for insurgents during the Iraq war played a huge part. They encouraged fanaticism which shockingly turned against everyone.
If your familiar enough with the problem, you can usually predict fundamental requirements and design in anticipation of them.
This perfectly epitomises the uk (and the rest of the worlds) attitude to global warming:

* it's a non binding commitment to do something but not for at least a decade

* it's not enough even if it does happen

* it will be too late by then (it probably already is for anything but drastic action)

* it's totally at the whim of future governments who will be no more willing to spend the money/time/popularity than the current unwilling government

* people will eat it up with a spoon and act like this is a real thing and a sign of progress and a victory

This is the same as my committing to start my diet, by giving up one specific thing, but not for a decade, after my doctor told me I gave 6m to lose weight or die. And to celebrate I'll eat two pizzas and 4 litres of soda, for breakfast.

> but I've not seen people favour Ruby for heavy algorithmic work or anything like that either

I suppose if Shopify / Github have heavy algorithmic work they do do it in Ruby. I think you have a somewhat different understanding than I do on what software devs do most days. And it doesn't matter if it's php/ruby or java/c++, so many of us, I believe, just glue pieces of business logic together. If you happen to have a problem that's purely algorithmic (let's say finding the shortest path on some map), the first thing most devs I know would do is look for an open source solution for that (and if one doesn't exist in Ruby, you can always wrap it in a Ruby API).
That's what I know about most of software engineering, you have a different take (now of course there are different fields like embedded etc which I'm not referring to, I speak only of high level business logic coding).

Many, many houses do not have anything other than on-street parking here. Since 2012 I've lived in 5 houses, and three of them had no driveway. I'm currently buying a house which has no drive way, with no way of fitting one. Apparently 1/3 houses have only on street parking. Unless they also provide huge, huge grants to rapidly implement dense onstreet charging, and fast, this is a pipedream and will end up getting pushed back.

Edit: To evaluate the scale of how difficult it is to implement on street parking - go and have a look out of your own window in a built up area and count the number of lamp posts and the corresponding number of cars. Right now (9:35am), in a pretty built up area, I can see three lamp posts on my own street, and eighteen cars parked on the road. One of those lamp posts is located where it's illegal to park because of double yellow lines. I currently live in a rented flat at the moment, and that has another 25 car parking spaces. To get charging points located there would require a number of disparately located and willing landlords to agree to wire up the car park for electric charging too.
I hope that with these bans, actually the government will take action on the high prices of electric vehicles and on the charging infrastructure.

A middle-size car can't cost € 40.000 (without batteries!), a lot of people can't afford them.
South Korea would be completely destroyed with the first attack by NK anyway (if talking about WMD), so not sure what you are trying to say here.
Any workarounds for this? I thought Apple said they wanted to keep mac a computer and not an iPad..
Oh interesting. I've been pretty lowsec on telling my medical practitioners about my drug use. Looks like this is for keeping tabs on people who buy prescription drugs. It's not about searching your records for illicit drug use. I guess I stick to what I'm doing now.
It's not a question of who would win, but NK could indiscriminately bombard Seoul, which is very close to the border. This could kill millions of people and destroy the economic center of SK.
This is an odd proposal.

Most importantly: we need to start treating drug addiction, and long term pain, as the public health emergencies they are and we need to stop criminalising drug addicts.

The US does massively over-prescribe opioids. There have been doctors who were careless in who they prescribed to. There have been "pill mills" https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/oct/02/opioids-west...

But they don't need patient ID to track that down. They can use supplier data.

The analysis is basically the same for 800 miles. That's 5 milliseconds per leg. Geostationary is 22000 miles.

Though if you got 25%... did you calculate 115 milliseconds of speedup? That's the speedup for one leg. A ping to a server has to travel that distance four times.

Yeah used naively strncpy leaves you an unterminated string. Also like all of them it's up to the caller to predetermine if they will fail if called. So instead of having the checks in one place inside the string function. You have them scattered all over the code if at all.

The economics are such that it probably won't work out. EVs are >85% efficient from wind turbine to movement. Making synthetic fuel is at best 40% efficient from electricity->fuel and the ICE only translates <30% of that to movement. We probably don't have enough room for turbines and solar panels to produce the necessary power.
It has to start somewhere, with hardware where it IS possible to run open-source software without too much reverse-engineering and fighting NDAs and so on.

Sure, but in a sense where UK “countries” are a thing somewhat like US “states” (but somewhat less, in that neither is independent, but US states are notionally sovereign nevertheless.)

So, task one talks about encrypted patient identifiers. This makes it sound like they're not going after patients, but are targetting pharmaceutical companies and doctors.

Task 1: Provide and maintain data on a minimum of 85 percent of all prescriptions for Schedule/Class II through V prescription drugs (additional non-controlled items may be requested for possible scheduling actions) written and/or filled in the United States and trust territories:

a) Prescription data shall include, but is not limited to:

• The number of prescriptions filled,
• The number of new prescriptions filled,
• The number of refills filled, by date filled,
• The name of the controlled substance
• The days’ supply for the patient (e.g. 5 days, 15 days, et.),
• The prescribers name and DEA registration number, and specialty
• An encrypted patient identifier to whom the prescription was written
• Date prescription was dispensed
• Payment Type: cash, government payer, commercial payer
• Dosing information: quantity and days’ sup

---

Here's the patient information they want:

> Patients

• Number of instances of more than one Schedule II prescription for the same drug, and written within three days of each other by different prescribers
• Number of instances of more than one Schedule II prescriptions for the same drug and written within three days of each other by the same prescriber
• Number of instances of more than two patients, with the same address, receive the same drug in the same quantity from the same doctor on the same day.
• Number of early refills Opiate and Benzo combine
• Number of early Schedule II
• Distance between patient and pharmacy
• Average distance between patient and pharmacy for a combination of Opiate, Benzo and a muscle relaxer.
• Distance between patient and pharmacy for Schedule II
• Distance between patient and prescriber
• Distance between patient and prescriber for Schedule II
• Number of Opiate and Buprenorphine combinations
• Number of Paid “cash” Schedule II
• Number of Oxycodone 30 MG and 15 MG within five days overlap
• Number of times Opioid Cough Syrup exceeds 90 day supply
• Number of Oxycodone 30 MG and Hydromorphone 8 MG within five days overlap
• Average MME Per Day
• Average Total MME per pharmacy visit
• Number of Opiate and Benzo combine within 3 days
• Number of Opiate and Benzo prescriptions for the same person on the same filled day at different pharmacies.
• Number of Opiate and Benzo prescriptions filled for the same person on the same day from different prescribers
• Number of Opiate and Benzo prescriptions written on the same day to the same person by different prescribers
• Number of Opiate and Benzo filled on the same person on the same day
• Number of Opiate and Benzo filled for the same person on the same day at the same pharmacy

I think you are correct and the responses are missing the point. But I don't think a petrol ban is forcing people to do anything. If it really would negatively individual transport, there would be a huge backlash. But I think the scenarios are realistic enough so it doesn't come to that.

I agree with that 100%. I've had interviews with every company I've applied to when it's been for a specific job. I don't always get results when I speculatively apply or apply for something which I might not be the best candidate for. But if it's something I know, then it's as simple as touching up the CV, writing a personalised cover letter about my experience in industry, what I can bring to the company, what I'm interested in working on etc.

People underestimate cover letters so much. Nothing says you've done your research than 300-400 words about why you want the job. Shotgunning CVs to a billion companies is a brute force approach.

But on the other hand, this IS indeed a super drastic action and we can't expect any nation on Earth apart from possibly, a few city-states like Singapore, to do as much in the same time frame. Petrol cars will be mainstay of transportation for about 40-50 years and will dominate new car sales for at least 20-30 years depending on the country. Anything but classic petrol and diesel cars will still hold tiny market shares 10 years down the road almost everywhere.

I mean, the climate change situation is hopeless. Some measures may be taken in the name of it, and they are important, but they are mainly a side action: for example, they do a lot to suppress oil-funded dictatorships like Russia or Saudi Arabia - people won't support the measures if they were directed at that openly, but if it's about climate, they are a lot easier to sell. But, we have to just admit that the global warming will proceed and probably faster than even the worst estimates predict, and just plan accordingly out of this assumption. It is too profitable to mine and use fossil fuels, any large nation trying to stop doing so will be competed out of existence by those who don't (and they will have way lower energy efficiency so will displace your uncompetitive products with theirs, in the end INCREASING overall emissions), and largest polluters are nuclear powers so you can't even force them to stop by military action.

Just see where the climate will stand when 3x of the current extractable reserves of fossil fuels are burned (because technology will develop and a lot of new reserves will become available which are now not). And plan for that level of global temperatures, precipitation and sea levels. It will happen, and the nations that win are those who plan in advance.
