I have traveled few times on ANA's 787 between Narita/Tokyo and Seattle. While sitting in emergency exit row at window seat, I could feel that the floor in front of the seat was unusually hot. After seeing location of the fire in pictures of JAL's 787, I get the impression that the emergency exit row seat was just above the cargo bay where fire originated. I am glad that ANA 787 I was on didn't catch fire.

I am glad to finally see FAA making a decision to ground 787. I hope 787 don't fly until these issues are resolved.
I didn't say anything about rights.
What this usually gets used for is hiring sales staff in advance of having the revenue that allows it. Acceleration is really the key thing that this capital is looking to accomplish (in theory).
In this case it's likely because the US FAA is the certifying body for the aircraft. If it were a Canadian or Russian or Chinese aircraft I'd expect their agencies to be similarly involved.
If it was an off-the-cuff remark once I might think the same, but he's written it in his plan multiple times and said it a dozen times publicly. He may not believe this in general, but he's quite obviously serious about using this argument for his proposed legislation.
Screenshots, key feature summary, any current testimonials.
Aw, I'm flying (or was) on one of these in just under 2 weeks with JAL. Was really looking forward to seeing how those windows work, and how the overall vibe of the thing is.

Safety first though, I guess.
Definitely. We've found that the most important thing bar none is getting the best people, dedicated to a common cause. If you can't get a key person because they want to keep the home they bought on some island, you're far worse off than if you have to Skype them or whatever. Also, a few of the best companies I know are distributed. 37signals, GitHub to name a few prominent ones. If they are not great evidence that it's workable and can be widely, I don't know what is.
That is an excellent analogy, well enumerated, and not one I've come across before. Thanks!
As someone who loves playing violent/FPS games, I'd say he's being reasonable. From the article:

In the more than 3,000 words President Obama and Vice President Joe Biden uttered during their nationally televised address today, only 16 dealt with video games in any way. Here are those words, highlighted in the context of the speech:

And while year after year, those who oppose even modest gun safety measures have threatened to de-fund scientific or medical research into the causes of gun violence, I will direct the Centers for Disease Control to go ahead and study the best ways to reduce it. And Congress should fund research into the effects that violent video games have on young minds. We don’t benefit from ignorance. We don’t benefit from not knowing the science of this epidemic of violence.

This section of the speech refers to the fourteenth of 23 proposed executive actions Obama introduced today, regarding an "end [to] the freeze on gun violence research."

Only the country that emitted the certifications can cancel them. (models, not individual aircrafts).

Examples of certifications DO-254 and DO-178, those are required for building avionics and general software.

Cool stuff. When I quit flying I thought about building software for aviation. Didn't work out.
Everybody in Europe manages just fine without owning guns

Errr, that turns out not to be the case. Look at the results of the 2007 Small Arms Survey at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_gun_owners... and you'll see it's pretty well armed (drill down to the PDF and even legal registration levels are a lot higher than I suspect you think).

In the other direction, when it comes to mass shootings Europe has been doing worse than the US as of late:

It is no coincidence that this model is being explored in CA, NV, and FL. I agree it is a great model (some can be expensive) and one that lowers cost by taking insurance and medicare out of the equation. The real problem is this is just a model for primary/preventative care and does not address the high cost of ER and catostrophic care.
A big reason distributed teams fail is because companies don't understand how to properly organize and nurture them.

You need to change the law if you want the central bank to move to a gold standard or to have a fixed monetary policy so that your legal tender currency doesn't inflate.

Other than that if you just want to trade using a non-inflatable currency you can just go right ahead and trade with gold if your counterparty accepts it. But if you're willing to accept that restriction something like bitcoin is probably a better solution that doesn't involve carrying and securing large quantities of heavy blocks of metal.

What you say about U/Pu fast breeders is true, but there are other pertinent differences between those and LFTR:

1. LFTR safety is based on passive cooling. Pu breeders do not share this property. Fukushima-style accidents involving loss of active cooling power for decay products are not a failure mode of LFTR.

2. MSR reactors don't suffer from the safety problems introduced by the use of liquid sodium.

3. MSR reactors don't suffer from the control complications introduced by Xe poisoning in solid fuels.

4. MSRs involve a continuous liquid process. Essentially all industrial chemical processes work that way, and that's because liquids are very convenient to work with. There are good reasons to think this will pay off in multiple cost-saving ways.

Another way of looking at the billions spent on Pu breeders is that it might be an indication that other technologies are worth a bet. Orders of magnitude less have been spent on MSR than on U/Pu breeders.

I'd say the big selling points of Th are not fuel efficiency and spent fuel, for exactly the reasons you note. The big selling points are the promise of lower cost and public acceptance (both of these promises come to a large extent from the real safety advantages of MSR over conventional reactors).

The hard one, public acceptance, will only happen if we can figure out how to sell it, but luckily, making that effort is something that those of us who think we need nuclear power have a duty to choose to support, not something that's in the lap of the gods.

Re China: it's possible my memory is playing tricks on me, but I believe that one of the guys at the top of that program, when he came to a North American conference to speak about it, said that MS as coolant was the initial focus simply because that is a natural early step, but MS fuel was very much a long term goal (it's on youtube if somebody wants to check). Edit: I just checked (somebody already linked to it), and my memory was playing tricks: he said that they're developing both in parallel, with the priority initially on MS as coolant, because that is "more technically ready". It still seems that MS as fuel is where they want and intend to go eventually.
It's only been a few years since India was "pardoned", and Australia is just one of many potential suppliers. The broad point is, the entire world uranium market is open to India, which was not the case until recently. India's preexisting nuclear strategy is no longer valid.

Here's another sale: a settled Russian deal to supply uranium for a Russian-built VVER reactor, for its entire lifespan. (Admittedly the implication is the uranium deal is somehow tied to the Russian reactor sale, which is somewhat limiting). Not much politics here! (Not much politics in Russia either).

I think there should be an online check for the validity of the gun owner license at time of purchase/sale, but it should be done in a way which shields the identity of the buyer from the government. That's a technical problem more than anything else.

If it's not an online check, it at least should be easy for the FFL or private party individual (with direct sales) to know with high certainty that the person is the correct person matched to the credential, and to know that the credential hasn't been revoked in a certain window of time (daily CRL or something).

I'd have more faith in private industry putting something like this together than government developing it internally or contracting development out.
I'm not saying it wasn't a planned remark — nothing that man says is off-the-cuff — just that it was planned for emotional effect, not as a real basis for policy.

If he seemed to be actually applying that standard, I'd worry. Otherwise it just seems like he cares a lot about children, which, man, I just can't be mad at someone for that.
It's a wild idea... but has anybody tried it? Other than all the obvious reasons why a nuclear Kickstarter project might not work, why the heck not???

It would be an interesting experiment to see the response, if nothing else.

We have been using Errbit for about six months. We are reasonably happy with it. On the plus side, it does the job; that is, it allows me to do my job. The UI is reasonably clean, and it reports every exception to our Campfire room.

On the minus side, Errbit is somewhat buggy, and very slow. If it gets any load at all (say, above 2-3 exceptions per second), it becomes near-unresponsive. A casual look at what it's doing seems to indicate MongoDB traffic. We are running Errbit on a small VM, but the slowness is way beyond what can be explained by the VM. So on the rare occasion we get an exception storm it's pretty much impossible to access Errbit.

It's also terrible at merging identical exceptions. Not sure why, haven't look at the code, not bothered enough to do so.
The main problem I see is if there is a demonstrable correlation between real-life violence and video game violence, it'd be very difficult to tell which proceeded the other. I would think, for instance, that those predisposed to violence would be more likely to enjoy the violent aspects of video games.

The media's claims that the secluded white guy who shot up a school did it because they played violent games is ridiculous (for instance, I'd say a good 95% of secluded white guys played counter strike when I was at school - perhaps they also enjoy eating food and listening to music), but I don't think that we, as gamers, should be so averse to studies being done as to the potential effects of video game violence.

There is a habit (obviously not unique to gamers) of dismissing any studies they disagree with as being 'inconclusive' or having 'stupid methods', while shouting the results of studies that we agree with from the rooftops.

Since you are into programming, have you ever considered finding a local hacker lab to attend and meet new people with like interests?

https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&rlz...

If there aren't any in your area, start your own meet up. You can do it at a local coffee shop and take it from there. I am sure you are not the only one in your situation. Give a try!

I was in a similar situation and I found a local group. Best decision I ever made. Got to hang out with people, have lunch, dinner drinks and made a lot of new friends and potential business partners. Good luck!
I've got one question...

The main issue is that now at Fukushima there are products like Cesium-90 in the sea, contaminating the entire sealife, which have crazy long half-life (ninety years). Thankfully they're "heavy" so they go down towards the center of the earth, but only at about 5 cm per year. So in ten years the're going to be highly radioactive Cesium-90 at 50 cm behind rocks still polluting the sealife.

In case the worst sht happens: the worst SNAFU conceivable...

Would MSRs also generate highly products like Cesium-90?

I mean: I don't care about all the security and the great design meaning an uncontrolled reaction shall never happen.

I know: it won't happen. Just like Fukushima. It didn't happen because it couldn't.

We got your point. It IS safe.

But I tell you: a sht you didn't expect is going to happen (maybe an asteroid striking your reactor or whatever).

What then?

Would MSRs pollute less than Uranium based reactors in the worst of the worst scenario?

If so I'm all for it.

> I don't mind that the government does a sanity check on whether a given citizen should own a gun; but if they've decided I'm responsible enough to own a gun I don't really think it's any of their business if I own 2 guns or 12, any more than it's any of their business knowing I own a MacBook, read /. over morning coffee, or bought Star Wars on blu-ray from Amazon 3 weeks ago.

How about in the context of having recovered a gun from a crime, and wanting to trace it to the supplier? My understanding is that most illegal guns were first purchased legally.
>Is it a felony to fake your name on a website demanding your name? //

It would be a breach of contract if the website specified your "legal name" and that is defined in your jurisdiction. If you then used that access to acquire goods/services/property that you wouldn't otherwise get possession of then that would be acquiring by deception and most likely be breach of IP laws.
I have traveled on ANA 787 between Narita/Tokyo and Seattle a few times. The planes are very comfortable - humidity and air pressure better than other Boeing planes. Windows are large but okay in blocking light. Windows could use darker shading to block out light during day travel.

As I posted in other thread, while sitting in emergency exit row at window seat, I could feel that the floor in front of the seat was unusually hot. After seeing location of the fire in pictures of JAL's 787, I get the impression that the emergency exit row seat was just above the cargo bay where fire originated. I am glad that ANA 787 I was on didn't catch fire.

Good to see that FAA, ANA, JAL making a decision to ground 787.

Errr, without accepting slavery there wouldn't have been a Constitution or United States of America. And it did provide a mechanism for outlawing it, although that of course just ratified the outcome on the battlefields.

To me, that viewpoint is about considering the ethics of governing itself. Something that has that much responsibility should have a proportionate amount of liability.

A monopoly on violence it a huge responsibility that today we balance with the liability that comes inherent in being a democracy. It seems today however that the extent to which the government uses it's monopoly requires a great deal more liability.

Since liability requires transparency, the realization that the government has a monopoly on violence should in turn reinforce importance of transparency in all things the government does. If the government feels the need to act independently without overview in some matter, that additional responsibility should come out of a "responsibility budget" that always remains in balance with a liability budget. If you want secret police and your responsibility budget is running low, fill it back up by adding some additional liability (perhaps steeper penalties for government officials that break the law) or free up some responsibility budget by reducing responsibility in other areas (perhaps by disarming other police).

Totalitarianism occurs when we give governments a responsibility budget completely decoupled from liability.

Sublime Text 2 plugin writing is surprisingly easy via python. I recently wrote a plugin (SublimeJump https://github.com/tednaleid/SublimeJump) to let you jump to any visible character with a couple of keystrokes. It's similar to AceJump (emacs) or EasyMotion (vim) if you're familiar with those.

Considering that probably a significant majority of firearms are semiautomatic, it seems like you could simplify it a lot by just having one class of permit and requiring it for everything.
Guns may help individuals defend themselves from other individuals (who may or may not be working for the government) in specific interactions (being mugged / taken to the gulag) but surely their raw numbers don't make The Citizenry safer from government oppression. That has to come from somewhere else; leading many people to conclude that "having guns" doesn't protect us from the government any more than "holding leaders accountable" or "having an educated populace".
