safe reactors certainly do exist : on paper.

I'm old enough to remember chernobyl. at the time, we were assured it was a dodgy old design, and that they future models would be foolproof. Then fukushima, and we started hearing the same soothing stories of fantasy designs that could never cause such havoc.
Ever since day one, this industry has over-promised and under-delivered. Remember "power too cheap to meter"?

It's right and appropriate that we make decisions based on the realities of the industry's present day detriments, not their promises for tomorrow.
Turkey Is Now Arresting Dozens for Using Twitter
I think they are still a bit too expensive for people. You can either get a whole system for several dozen kUSD, or single elements (e.g. smart outlets) for ~$100 each. The former is a significant expense people might not want to pay at once when buying homes, and the latter is a bit too expensive to buy one by one, because you require to have at least few of those devices before the system starts to get useful.
At the moment it's based on the amount of work done, the proposals would see this replaced with a flat rate.
Did you memorize that? If so: wow, you were quite close. The correct text from ‘V for Vendetta’:

“Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a bygone vexation stands vivified and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition! The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V.”
Bloody hell!

Ooops, yes, that's what I meant to say.

> I'm really not sure what the point is besides being contrarian

All I'm saying is that you can't settle this question (or many others) with facts and science alone. Sure, you've got to weigh the facts, but often, including in this case, those have got to feed in to an ethical judgment which is everybody's (not just scientists') to make.
An AI system issuing warrants defeats the entire purpose of warrants. The entire purpose is to put human oversight into the system.

From the findings: "The unpermitted development has thus impacted the existing redwood forest habitat and has likely caused sedimentation of Post Creek."

The fact that he brazenly (and illegally) modified land designated for public use is pretty bad as well. Imagine if I decided to shoot a porno right in the lap of the Lincoln Memorial, setting up lights and cheap sets and basically making the whole monument look like a joke, ruining what would have been a solemn and sacred space for the general public.

Of course, I would also be shot by the guards there. There's no similar guardian for that particular part of the Redwood forest.

> Chrome and Opera squeeze the tabs, but list them all, whereas Firefox forces a scroll after so many, which feels horrible. Also Opera has let's you list and switch open tabs with CTRL+TAB, or lets you reposition your tabs.

I use this tiny add-on, written by one of the main Firefox front end developers: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/custom-tab-wi...

It makes Firefox have the Chrome behavior of making tabs shrink infinitely. All it does it tweak one minor setting in the UI, so it's pretty bulletproof.

No. She is a Hafez (one who recites the Quran by heart) and among those who helped in the efforts to collect the Quran, she did not _write_ it, or any parts of it. [1]

Just to give you a glimpse of better things than saddening photos of police brutality, here is what people did at the Gezi Park in the past 2-3 days:

* An impromptu library was built, here are some photos: http://gezikutuphanesi.blogspot.com/ (scroll down) with books donated by people and many publishers.

* Women doing yoga at Gezi Park: http://imgur.com/3kubMll?tags: http://imgur.com/3kubMll?tags (FYI, it is not common to see people, let alone young women, doing yoga in public parks in Istanbul!)

* A number of orchestras giving a classical concert at Gezi: https://www.facebook.com/dutchrevolution/posts/5801004786774...

I am left speechless by these events, never seen anything like this in any protest in Istanbul.

The curves are only on the current tab according to the mockups, the rest are still square.

Here's a comparison using the latest UX Nightly branch with two windows at the same width that have enough tabs to switch to "scrolling tab mode" (notice the arrows on either side):

Old: http://cl.ly/image/221j3J1j3R2Q
New: http://cl.ly/image/1b1j1m2K2k24

The new one shows 12 tabs and the edge of the 13th, the new one shows 13 tabs, the last one being cut off a tiny bit. The new one looks cleaner to me what with the lack of extra noise with the boxes around the tabs.

(Of course the rest of your comment may still be valid, but the curves/wasted space in the tab bar in general doesn't hold up IMO.)
Can't speak to "should" but I can speak to that's how it is. Cause a car accident thereby turning an 85 year old reiree into a quadriplegic. The 85 year old will be lucky to find an attorney because his actual damages are fairly low.

Now replace the 85 year old retiree with a 40 year old at the peak of his career. Attorneys will chomp at the bit for this case because you've caused literally millions of dollars in damages.

To go further down your tangent, after witnessing my terminally ill mother die from cancer after months of morphine-clouded torture I would have thanked anyone that would've ended her suffering early in a way as humane as we treat dogs at the end of their life.
Good to see lawyers sharing case information with their other halves.
Some of the comments here amaze me. Many (most?) countries have business development banks, that give out loans to entrepreneurs... It's confusing why a loan given to a start-up car company is such a scandal.

Those who understand capitalism know that entrepreneurship is the main driving force behind economic growth, as well as innovation, job creation, and most other positives that capitalism brings...
This is why I mountain bike.
My impression is that it tends to be more about reaching out to women and making sure they know they're welcome and less about inviting women because they are women. (Like, putting some effort into making women submit talks to your conference and then treating their submissions like all other submissions.)

That makes sense if you suspect that other people spend a lot of time making women feel unwelcome and that you're going to miss out on some great talks if you don't do anything about it. I don't think it is always unreasonable to suspect something like that.
Not bad for propaganda. The method displayed in the article is the assumption that "of course" we'll spend and consume endlessly all the junk they're pushing, by definition and without any self control. So occasionally, while still being mindless eaters most of the time, we could as an ascetic experiment disconnect, oh but only temporarily, maybe as a BSDM thing to feel the pain and the joy of reconnecting.

My solution is better and cheaper. Tried facebook for six months OMG what a time sink and minimal/zero return, deleted account. I don't need a "sabbath manifesto" or a momentary mental escape, I have a permanent escape to a FB free world. The real world really is pretty nice, come and join me out here!

"TV time became a controlled endeavor because, otherwise, it would consume every waking moment."

Um, no, it wouldn't, not for mentally healthy people. Clearly I don't have an addictive personality. As a financially well off adult I most certainly could spend endless hours a day watching TV if I wanted. I don't need permission from my mom, and I can easily afford it. I don't because its highly addictive, yet fairly boring, and doesn't have much of a return on investment other than the addiction itself. The analogy with facebook and other social media as discussed in the article is obvious... People with a severe addiction problem don't need to read a "sabbath manifesto" as the article suggests, or occasionally meditate. That just leads to a microscopically better read, somewhat better rested, hard core addict. They need treatment, medication. Its like telling a heavy heroin addict in a very condescending tone that all they really need to do is read one bible verse a day and it'll fix itself, and once in a while they should wait 15 minutes before getting high, just to appreciate better the feeling of being high or the trip of experiencing something unusual for them aka real life.

Those picture sum up nicely to the official response from the official that only 14 people have been injured.

This is just glimpse of the gruesome image of Turkey politians that are ruled by the army. There are far worse example in Turkey that have not seen the cover or day.
This is the same in there foreign policy with all the smaller states around them feeling that(armenia, cyprus, syria)

Unfortunately i do not see this changing until the people in Turkey stand up and overthrow the current goverment but that is impossible with out foreign aid as Turkey is a country ruled by the militia.

Note that only the active tab is curved; the other tabs have nothing but a line between them. Here's a comparison using the latest UX Nightly:

Old: http://cl.ly/image/221j3J1j3R2Q
New: http://cl.ly/image/1b1j1m2K2k24

The old one is showing 13 tabs, the new one is showing 12 tabs and the edge of the 13th one. However, the new one is way less cluttered and easy to read IMO.

There is an interesting story in "Three Felonies a Day" where an employer discovers child pornography on an employee's computer [1]. They contact their attorney, and the lawyer deletes the offending content to protect the company since simple possession of child pornography is crime in the United States. He then alerts authorities to the employee. The attorney is eventual prosecuted for evidence tampering.

To be fair the UK is much better than the US, where we have little kids who are on the sex offenders list for life for taking naked pictures of themselves with their parents iPads. Some of them probably aren't even old enough to read yet, and they're not allowed with 2,500 feet of school. And if they're lucky they have to go door to door to tell their neighbors that they're sex offenders, if they're unlucky they have to live under a bridge with a bunch of 50-year-old child rapists. The US is basically like the arab countries where the victim gets blamed for rape, only in this case we have judges ruling that kids need to go on the sex offenders list because they're too sexy and tempting for adults or whatever.

The combustible engine is more efficient than ever. We're getting many more miles per a gallon of gas than we ever had. The efficiency of the engine has done much, much, much more than electric vehicles to curb carbon emissions.

Yeah, but only because they are far more common.

Going forward, making the combustible engine and hybrids more efficient will do magnitudes more to curb carbon emissions than all-electric vehicles.

Only if you operate under the assumption that electric vehicle usage won't become more common.
I'm still blown away by the quantity and quality of 'citizen journalism' covering these topics. Photos, video, blogs, tweets. We've gotten used to it being a big part but I think the effects are just starting to be felt.

Two years later (and a more developed country) since the Libyan revolution, and the quality of photos is already so much higher.

Give it five more years and we'll have gigapixel photos, live streaming POV cameras (eg glass) and who knows what else. I really think police misbehavior will be improved by it.

> I have a theory that intelligence is not so much about the knowledge of facts but about the relations between those facts (more about the edges than the nodes)

Indeed, I have reached a similar conclusion. For me, the brain is a huge pattern-matching machine, therefore it needs to have patterns to be able to match anything, that's where the knowledge comes in. In addition, the more "patterns" it has, the faster it works. And it can come up with new patterns (and infer their relationships) on its own.

I have noticed that many people that are perceived as "slow" or "dumb" are just unfamiliar with concepts, no matter how trivial they seem. So their brains have to work overtime to try to understand something that is "intuitive" for others - probably something everyone struggled with at some point of their lives, perhaps as children.

I wish I could have data to back this up, but I only have anecdotal evidence.
Beautiful! Hardly. Just de-cluttered on the face of things. Trying to select an encoding is about as difficult as pinning the tail on the donkey.
I'm still unclear on what that actually means. Surely we can agree that every death or injury is one too many? So is it more ethical to run a well-designed nuclear reactor than a well-designed coal power plant? I think so, and I believe so do you. But that doesn't mean we can shrug off the inherent dangers and drawbacks. Acknowledging these issues does not make a person anti-nuclear per se.

Exclaiming, as the article does, "see, not a single person got hurt, everything is just awesome!" while people in Japan are burying contaminated top-soil from school yards under their front lawn, while everyone carries a dosimeter to gauge how long they can stay outside today, and while thousands of people have lost their homes strikes me as very bad judgement - even if the health statistics have not been manipulated.

By saying that facts and scientific understanding are essential to decision-making, I'm not insinuating these decisions can only be made by scientists. Instead I'm advocating a better scientific/factual understanding by and for everybody. Clearly that is not how things are working right now, but I think it's an important goal to have.
I don't think i can do this.

Subsection (6):

>[It shall be a violation...] to offer to sell or to sell any new motor vehicle to any person located in the commonwealth, except a distributor, at a lower actual price therefor than the actual price offered and charged contemporaneously to a motor vehicle dealer located in the commonwealth for the same model vehicle similarly equipped or to utilize any device which results in such lesser actual price unless the same is available on equal terms to all dealers located in the commonwealth; but this paragraph shall not apply to sales by a manufacturer or distributor to any unit of the federal government or any agency thereof or to the commonwealth or any of its political subdivisions.

As written, this clearly applies if and only if Tesla already sells cars to dealers, and furthermore similarly to other independent car manufacturers, electric and otherwise.

Is it a bad law? Yes. Does it hurt the incumbents? Yes. Is it biased in Tesla's favor? No. Is it giving Tesla special treatment? No.
I should have said "Home automation for the masses."

I know, I worked at a startup in the space. The people who are capable of spending the money will spend the extra necessary to get someone to install it for them. The people who would install it themselves can't afford even the basic systems, as you need quite a few devices before the things get useful.

The most profitable use we ever found for it was to provide light switches and thermostats in hotels, in places where the wiring in the walls wouldn't allow. That's about it.
