Now all you have to do is interact with the people that are starting to engage with you. It's not an instant thing. Our system detects when relevant conversations are going on using fancy algorithms based around machine learning, sentiment analysis and POS tagging.

Housing benefit gets paid directly to the tenants. Many years ago you could ask for it to go direct to the landlord, but organised gangs set up claims in the names of dead people.

Blaming congress for this is an easy out, but doesn't stand up to real scrutiny. Lets not forget that the executive branch has a secret interpretation of the law, one that many in congress were unaware of, that allowed them to go well above and beyond anything actually authorized by congress.
Yes, definitely looked into Lilypond. It produces beautiful sheet music, but I can't use it because (1) it's GPL and I intend to license the technology, (2) I'm generating the notation client-side (for responsive design) and (3) I need the ability to highlight certain notes in real time to show the user which notes are being played.
This is not an "out" but rather it is an "in." This terrible fourth amendment violation will be rubber stamped by the judiciary and this practice will filter it's way down to the local level.

Then the last step of this terrible spiral will be unscrupulous intelligence officials planting digital evidence to make a case or do "what is right for the country."
It's not so much a latency issue but a field of view issue. Cars don't really go that fast and you'll see them coming way ahead of time as long as your camera is zoomed out far enough. There are procedures in place to reduce the amount of stuff like this happening, but they haven't always been in place and they don't work 100%. But it's not like it's an issue that nobody has ever thought of, it was happening even before the rise of the drones: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grdelica_train_bombing

If your child has potentially powerful skill with computers, you should not simply make sure they aren't DDoS'ing and staying in chat rooms.

You should be spending time, resources, or another kind of energy giving them problems to solve and challenges to approach with their talents. Don't just avoid court - give your child space to be who they are.

Teach them about whitehat. Help them creatively wield their strengths. Don't be selfish - be a parent.
The key difference is that we no longer posit that we know everything. We assumed we knew things we didn't, in ancient times, and in the process relied on hand-waves to keep moving, until some scientifically minded folks got too frustrated with the inconsistencies and started to accept that perhaps we didn't know it all. Now we know we don't know, and use the inconsistencies to tell how close we're getting to knowing enough to have consistent understanding.

The key is that we continue to improve our ability to gather evidence about what the universe looks like, and insist that our theories keep pace with the evidence we're gathering. So, the previous hand-waves occurred in large part due to insufficient data, and unwillingness to look for more. We've moved past that, to a large extent.

That's from http://bicycledutch.wordpress.com (http://bicycledutch.wordpress.com/index-by-theme is an excellent entry point, too)

My layman's view is that both sides are right. Most city centers date from before 1900, so they weren't designed for cars (Amsterdam wasn't even designed for carriages). Up to ~end of World War two~, cars weren't common enough to build 'cars first; all others enter at your own risk' neighborhoods (for example, the first river car tunnel, the Maastunnel in Rotterdam (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maastunnel), built in 1937-1942 has separate tubes for cyclists and pedestrians. Traffic jams formed at its escalators in the fifties)

After World War Two, there was a period when the USA seemed to show the future. That led to ideas that cities such as LA were the future of city building. Some ideas/attempts to reshape cities were formed/made, but those were abandoned or at least seriously adjusted really soon. For example, the Bijlmer (1968; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bijlmer) was designed as a paradise for cars, but also as one for pedestrians. In the same period, Ommoord also is very car friendly. Yet, its neighborhoods also have the typical dead end streets that make streets safer for kids to play in, and it has a metro connection to the center of Rotterdam.

Almere (1978; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Almere) already shows a trend away from 'cars first'. Later, we got Houten (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Houten)

So, yes, there was a trend towards 'cars first', and there was a turn, but that turn was made very early. That made the turn relatively easy. Changing LA into a 'cars are guests' city would be a challenge on a different scale.

Ballpark is around two seconds from making a control input (such as "begin orbiting around this point") and getting the feedback (like seeing the plane turning on your screen).

Not at all. It's a hard question.

If there is no point in running, way fewer people will run. That could mean net fewer chase-miles, and also fewer crimes committed, because fewer potential criminals would think they might be able to get away with it.

The officers likely believe that serving and protecting requires them to always chase. Whether it's true or not is something that has no obvious a priori answer. It'd be great to find the answer empirically, but until then, I'm inclined to defer to the pros.

the controllers, the heart of which are industrial PLCs, do have ethernet modules but no wifi since the reliability is critical in automation. however with a wifi router and some quick config, you can get this fairly easily, assuming the client talks modbus/tcp and knows how to query the controller's register maps.

i'm working on a plan to replace the ethernet module with a BeagleBone Black + Arch and a nodjs-based tcp->serial modbus proxy. lots to do, especially when you also have a 9-5 :)

The work of society is largely pyramid building--big groups of people achieving complex goals through disciplined cooperation.

This is true (but the term "pyramid building" is suggestive, see below), but this...

The system is what enables all of the comforts of modern life

...does not follow from it. What follows is that disciplined cooperation is what enables all the comforts of modern life; but people can engage in disciplined cooperation to achieve complex goals without having either the goals or the methods for achieving them dictated by someone or something outside of themselves. The methods, and even the goals, can evolve out of the very process of disciplined cooperation itself, i.e., they can be created by the participants instead of being imposed. Contrast, for example, pyramid building with the Linux kernel. See below.

Society needs creatives, but just a few.

In the project of building the Great Pyramid, yes, there were only a very few "creatives" as a fraction of all the participants. (Of course, that just illustrates Cheops' Law: a few "creatives" can accomplish anything if they have an unlimited supply of expendable labor.) But would you say there are very few "creatives" among Linux kernel hackers?

I think society can benefit from many more "creatives" than it currently does; the fact that society currently thinks it needs only a few "creatives" to keep things vital and fresh is a bug, not a feature.

Those ancient theories are not philosophically and logically consistent. It's why we had the scientific revolution and the enlightenment in the first place. Because there were holes in those accounts. The degree to which Physicists are talking about inconsistencies are tiny compared to the huge holes in theories than the very primitive and simplistic ideas of the ancients.

As to your ending comment. That's the point. Without studying physics you're not going to understand the degree to which it already all plugs together very well. We would have no electronics nor satellites without an incredible level of agreement between theories and experiment supporting a tightly interconnected set of theories - they weren't going to happen with any pre-scientific revolution worldviews.

One of the things I enjoy about traditional tabs, though, is that I can sit down and review them at my own pace. In your demo, I didn't see a way to view the entire tab at once. Also with ASCII tabs, I can repeat a section over and over at the speed I want.

I've played with Rocksmith, which is a video game similar to Soundslice, and it has the same drawbacks for me. It's really, really hard to play a song when you're seeing the tabs for the first time as you're performing it.

Is there a way in Soundslice to do an A-B repeat of a section, or view the entirety of the tab at once?
The order of magnitude chosen to calibrate the metric on doesn't change the prefix magnitude.

1 kJ = 1000J
1 kg = 1000g

Adjusting prefixes puts the units on the order of magnitude where they are easy to write in typical domain problems. For a heat-capacity and heat-transfer problem, I might end up with J/kg or kJ/kg being convenient, while for expressing the specific energy of jet fuel, I'll use MJ/kg because it's 39.

In the case of the kg, I'll bet that 1g was simply too small for the tools of the time to make an accurate model that was reproducible to the desired accuracy. For all I know, the weights were die-cast from the same melt, and the effect of scratches gets reduced as the surface-area/volume ratio goes down.

This thing always comes up every few months and it's interesting to see how it evolves, because it does change. I live in Seattle and know people that work there and it really is an amazing place to work, but you must, must, must be entrepreneurial to work there and you must really know your shit as well, otherwise it will suck.

They're not kidding that the employees run the company. The benefits that I've heard you get are immense amounts of freedom and opportunity, but the drawbacks are huge too. The company stack ranks in a very open way. Your actual creative output is tied to your salary (which is substantial if you're good). If you have an off year or have to spend a significant chunk of the year learning something new then your stack rank will suffer unless you put in the time to make it up. There are people who are able to make good money there without putting in more than 40 hours, but apparently this is the exception. rather than the rule If you're young, single, talented (and I mean really, really, you built your first compiler at the age of 12 talented) and entrepreneurial it's a dream come true.
