Short answer - piss flows downwards in the gravity well.

Longer answer:

1. Water - we need a lot of it for everything. There is not much on the moon. There are few ways to do it - there is a lot of oxygen on the moon so we only need the hydrogen. Lifting from the earth will be hard, capturing protons from the sun wind seems feasible - but is unsolved.

2. We lack in robotics and nanotech. A perfect colonization plan (also cheap) will require us to lift only the wetware. (even better pre frozen embryos)

So if we manage to create self replicating GECK (solar cells, 3d printers, etc) that weights about 2 tonnes. Deploy it there, wait for it to devour the moon (since its exponential it could be just a few years), gather enough water and then send small teams 10-20 fertile women with a lot of embryos to be serially mothers for rent ... we could see something in our life time. Since the moon will be one giant solar cell you could beam the excess energy to the Earth and the moon is much better base to try to tame venus mars and the belt.

As a Marxist, i see an explanation of this in that the crime thrives in societies numerically dominated by proletariat: people who have nothing to lose are easily motivated into crime, much easier their children with no view of the future. When the proletariat declined in numbers, so did the crime.

"I sent you a file".

Okay, which one? Can you be more specific? I have four files that you sent. Saying "I sent you a Word file" isn't too much information, it's just the right amount of information.

As for saying the brand name, text documents vary far and wide. I wouldn't ask someone to open a docx in Wordpad or Notepad, it'd either be horrible formatting or useless noise. Even opening a docx in OpenOffice could turn out poorly, depending on which features of Word you used in the creation of the document.

A 1989 ban means people now in their 20s were young children in an environment with use of leaded fuel.

This article has some data about lead levels in children in Brazil: http://www.scielosp.org/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S1...

In Brazil, Teixeira (32) has found that 11% of pipes used in the water distribution systems of 100 schools in São Paulo present lead levels above the limit considered safe by the WHO. In 2% of the water samples, the lead level was found to be five-fold higher than the highest acceptable value (< 10 µg/L, according to the WHO), thereby threatening the neuropsychiatric health of children.

Several studies have shown that high BLL in preschool children are strongly correlated with high lead levels in house dust (33-35). This association has been attributed to dust intake from the frequent hand-to-mouth behavior of young children. Flaking lead-based paint, road dust, garden soil and airborne lead-bearing particles are believed to be the sources of lead in household dust (36).

Leaded gas has caused more exposure to the metal than any other source worldwide (37). According to the São Paulo State Health Department (19), about 80% of the lead found in urban air samples before 1982 was derived from leaded gas. Car battery manufacture is the main source of secondary lead (38), but other sources cannot be discarded.

None of that is to say that lead is the only factor of course, just that I don't think your data disproves the theory that lead plays a significant part.

One other thing not often thought of. Capital is expensive. Not only do you lose some control when you take capital, you now have a responsibility to investors. Many seem to, in my experience (take that as you will), jump in acting like it's free money. Raising capital isn't the end goal. It's just the beginning. With a more traditional fund with actual customers approach, it's reasonable to do business as you'd like (obviously this invokes a debate of a startup vs a life style business) but with customer funding, you not only have validation, but you can always raise a more favorable round later. Github is one very good example of this. In the end, cash is king.

I must apologize for my mistake, I actually read one of the linked articles (from the main article) and though that was the main article.

I'm still of the opinion that nonfree does not equate to nongood. It should be more like "nonfree software is not easy to audit, therefore it is potentially not safe." When people make blanket statements that are overly simplistic, I automatically feel like their logic is compromised. Their emotions or prejudice are getting in the way of accuracy, which is important when making statements about what other people should do.
Boostrapping doesn't necessarily mean you never take money. It means they go off the ground running and built a business that was profitable without taking investments. After it was profitable for years they took some money (I have no idea why at this point).

It doesn't look as though the authors factored in any increased heating costs in wintertime. Is this effect negligible?
In most places, the players know not to be pains and patent licensing works fairly well (pool patents, spec, standard, small fee). Software has a problem[1] because many don't make money off the software and instead make money off other means. There is not a nicely understood product to pay with. Where we see it all go bad (e.g. medicine), it has a lot to do with the rules of the systems (e.g. clinical trials) or just plain stupidity (e.g. 3D printing).

If h.264 licensing had just been from hardware accelerators and not software implementation / content, then no fuss would have been raised. I so hoped they would see the light with h.265.

>Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this License; they are outside its scope.

Why do you say you have to accept it?
The amount of "Not knowing what people are doing" in large companies is rather alarming. I used to work at a company with about 700 employees just in the building I was in, and had turned in my two-weeks-notice due to the low amount of responsibility/work I was being given (bad management). During my last two weeks I of course had even less work, literally just one task to take care of and it would only take me about an hour. So I sortof just chilled and got my things in order for a few days, deciding to log into the server and take care of the job on Thursday.

So, Thursday comes and I try to get on the server... no response. A little more testing and the server looks like a dead box. I ring up IT and ask them to look into it, getting an email a few minutes later stating that the machine had a crash on Sunday night (4 days ago) and just hadn't been properly rebooted. As I logged in to do what I had intended to, it dawned on me that the department right next to mine had literally no other tasks right then except to be testing software on this server. Yet I, who had been putting off doing the work for 4 days, was the first to find out the server hadn't been working all week.

This sort of stuff is what makes small companies where your contributions matter feel even more rewarding.
I don't think enough emphasis is put in these studies on the rise of cheap entertainment for bored male youth. Teenage boys that normally would have been running around in the streets committing entry level crimes are now glued to their Xbox. The declines in crime also happen to correlate with the ubiquitousness and availability of video games. As they get cheaper and more violent, crime goes down.

Sure policing has gotten better, and crime prevention tech has advanced, but these studies tend to ignore the fact that would-be criminals rarely leave the house anymore...
Actually, the math seems to be quite different: $6,600 vs however many multiples that Ivy League school charges.

A little OT, but related to current events: Detroit, which has been facing fiscal problems, has enjoyed a drop in crime even though budget deficits has forced the city to cut hundreds of officers:

http://news.yahoo.com/detroit-crime-down-murder-rate-1736002...

And yet the murder rate is relatively stagnant, and this year reached a peak: http://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/01/04/16352612-weve-los...

How to reconcile these things? Is crime really falling, or have reporting standards changed? Or, if cops can't respond to reports, do the reports ever get filed?
But no worse of one than virtual particles traveling backwards in time in a Feynman diagram.

Not exactly the same, but I felt like a forgotten employee at Yahoo when I was there. I had enough work for maybe 1 day a week. The rest of the time was spent doing nothing.

Unlike this guy, though, I quit after 9 months (and started looking for a job after 6) because I was worried that my technical skills were being eroded. Unlike this guy, my career is way more important to me than collecting a free paycheck, and I'd rather be earning my keep than sitting around screwing the system.
You may well be right. Then comes that big step from Hypothesis to Theory. Lots of research, boring work digging through white papers, reading old journals, constructing tests, requesting funding, and finally analyzing results. That is why hypotheses are like opinions, everyone has one, but real, hard data is respected.

“What are the facts? Again and again and again--what are the facts? Shun wishful thinking, ignore divine revelation, forget what "the stars foretell," avoid opinion, care not what the neighbors think, never mind the unguessable "verdict of history"--what are the facts, and to how many decimal places? You pilot always into an unknown future; facts are your single clue. Get the facts!"

UV is a wildly different animal than wifi or cellular signals.
That was four years ago. I think that's long enough to make a distinction between "they started out doing something they weren't supposed to" and "there's nothing shady about Cyanogenmod."
I agree with the other comments made so far that the UI shown would be frustrating to use from a functional standpoint. I believe the "perfect" airline website would be something in between what is shown and what we have today. Something similar to Airbnb in terms of a nice UI that makes finding destinations and planning trips both functional and fun.

Hi,

yes, as it is said in the blogpost, the only thing missing is the full text of the page for indexing & searching in it, we don't dare to release it because of copyright issues (he, you distribute the full text of my page!).

With this data you could for example built a new alexa and find out what was the most visited page last week :)
If you find that interesting, you should probably take a look at this:

The smaller the screen, the closer you sit. There's no huge difference in the end.
I think computerization, more generally, is a very powerful factor.

More electronic transactions, less cash. More surveillance. More cameras. Traceable goods/tracked shipments. Better crime data analysis and police patrol routing. Consumer purchases tending toward electronics that are ever-cheaper and more-powerful. More digital goods, less demand for physical goods. Better media distribution. etc.

It may also explain the outliers to the global crime trends: places where computerization of the society (or subset of society) has lagged.
> just that I don't think your data disproves the theory that lead plays a significant part.

Exactly: (Lead => Crime) =/> (Crime => Lead).

Perhaps outsiders should really say 'americans'

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-Americanism#Iran

Not all Iranians dislike Americans, but to say that there aren't any who would like you dead, is naive.

The door swings both ways, though!

BTW, as citizens of a democracy, we are all responsible for the geopolitical actions of our government.

I mean, why would Iran dislike us? We didn't go help the UK overthrow their government and install a dictator or anything... OH, WAIT A SECOND.

It's not like we invaded both their neighboring countries and set up permanent military bases.... OH, WAIT...

The US does not have the moral high ground, but to think that just because you disagree with the government that most Iranians will just look past that... I don't think that's a safe bet.
>Tracking them until they hop on a plane

That sort of approach gets tried from time to time (e.g. the ATF's "Fast and Furious" program) but it has problems of its own. What if they never get on a plane? There are US facilities they could bomb without ever going airborne. What if you lose sight of them? The political risks are nearly the same as ignoring the problem. If they were able to kill US citizens, the headlines would invariably read "Government had killer terrorists in sights, didn't pull trigger."

>International pressure

Sure, the US has to weigh the impact of its strikes on global opinion. That's a big reason why we care about collateral damage at all. You bring up trials, but still haven't provided a reliable avenue for terrorists to be arrested.

>Might makes right

You're not doing a very good job of looking at this from a Pakistani perspective. As a Pakistani, my life would be threatened by drone strikes and Pakistani terrorists. You seem to think that it should somehow be my right to try and attack the US government to stop the drone strikes. That is childish reasoning, military conflict is not some sporting event where the rules try to create a level playing field. The US has the means to target terrorists, but I would lack the means to target the US drone program. I could try, but any damage I could do to the US would inherently be indiscriminate. At best, I would end up killing some innocent Americans and their government hunts me down, at worst I just get my family killed in a drone strike. What are my other options? The most obvious one is to personally organize my friends and try to root out the terrorists that live near me. Then there will be no terrorists to bomb me, and the US will have no reason to send in drone strikes.

Remember, the only reason that the US is resorting to military action is because there is no organization within Pakistan that can be counted on to eliminate the terrorist threat.

>Human rights

Prove the civilian deaths were malicious and not simply collateral damage. I don't think anyone can. If it were possible to demonstrate that a specific drone strike deliberately targeted civilians, I have no reason to doubt that the person behind that particular strike would be held accountable.

There is also the issue of terrorists using human shields. If terrorists knew that the US was averse to any collateral damage, they would immediately become nearly invincible by strapping babies to their chests or otherwise surrounding themselves with innocent people.

>Pakistani v. Pakistani violence.

I didn't know terrorist organizations had to choose between domestic or international terrorism when they write up their charter.
