For those unfamiliar with space exploration politics, when scientists write an article about desirable future missions, it's invariably robotic, but when "lawmakers" are quoted, the mission is manned, regardless of how little sense that makes.

The reason? Taxpayers will only pay for manned missions. It's not science, it's theater.

A manned flyby of Mars -- no landing, no exploration except the visual, which robots do better than people do -- at ten times the cost of a robotic mission (manned missions typically cost ten times unmanned missions), plus the problem of returning the astronauts to earth, not necessary for a robotic craft.

The increased cost, plus the zero-G medical issues and exposure to radiation enroute -- in both directions -- to no purpose. NASA, you've done it again.

My reasoning is that people can easily disable ads and there is no way for them to stop people. To rely on something that is at the control of the end user is just going to be bad for their business in the long run.
That's very shortsighted and sounds very elitist. Do you also steal from brick & mortars that don't have business models or store layouts that are agreeable to you?

I highly recommend anyone in a similar situation read Jonathan Haidt's book "The Righteous Mind: Why Good People are Divided by Politics and Religion."

Haidt is a psychologist who studies moral development, and while I don't believe everything he puts forth in the book to be gospel, he makes many good points about how people come to moral conclusions (which may not be logical conclusions, but nonetheless are based on what the person uses their senses to believe is true).

You can hear a summary of Haidt's theory or moral matrices, as well as an example of how the theory has been employed to talk to people across the "political divide": http://media.uoregon.edu/channel/2013/06/04/what-on-earth-is...

I run an office design website that shows new office design projects and discusses office design trends.

Though some readers probably wish there was no advertising, most of our readers want to know what products exist because they are office designers. I try to treat it like a magazine where the ads look nice and generally unobtrusive.

I'm obviously biased because I make my living on advertising.

You may be level headed and well adjusted by surely you've noticed the large number of people who are CCW proponents who are not? More importantly is this; when a gun is part of the equation there is now a non-zero chance someone is going to get shot.

The vast majority of the time the only gun in the vicinity is going to be that of the CCW. MOST people go through their entire lives without ever encountering a 'bad guy with a gun'. Ever.

People who CCW think they are bringing a gun to a gun fight, when maybe they are bringing a gun to a fist fight, or a stern conversation.

"The worst part is the thesis of [...] media; that while you do everything right, some nebulous [...] agenda is taking away everything that you hold dear, and are entitled to as a working person"

That's not particular to conservative media; it's the same tactic used to convince whole swaths of the population that the rich, the white, sexists, racists, jingoists, big corporations, government, etc. are keeping you down.

Leveling it at only one side of a debate is falling into the trap polemicists set up. They all do this, from every angle and via all means possible. It's just propaganda, and one insidious aspect of it is that they convince people only the other side engages in it.
Stripe.com once hosted a gallery of Furby pictures. Does that mean we should blame any bugs in their payment platform on misbehaving toys? No, previous hypothetical uses of the domain (by a different owner no less; Jed McCaleb who registered the domain and Mark Karpeles who owns it today are different people) are irrelevant, and mtgox.com does not stand for that.

I lost my Mom to Fox News for a while but after talking with her, she has come back. I didn't actually expect her to return but it is so easy to point out the holes in the Fox News arguments. I'm atheist but I know the bible well enough to use it to refute any argument she has heard on Fox. The wonderful thing about the bible is that you can quote it to defend or defeat just about any point of view.
True, but Fox News is the best at it, so they get the flak. I'll give the other channels for convincing people Obama was going to change things, but those people already mostly wanted change (especially after the financial crisis). Fox News did more than that. They convinced people who had been Republicans for 30 years that they have been libertarians fo 30 years. That's just really scary.
Well, it's pretty pleasant to use when there are no issues.

That's not really relevant. Broadcom's VideoCore competes against the likes of PowerVR, ARM's Mali, and Qualcomm's Adreno. Those GPUs are all designed for mobile use, and cannot easily scale up to compete with desktop/workstation-class GPUs due to architectural differences and fab process differences.

AMD's chips aren't egregiously power-hungry, they just sell into a market where the product segments are defined by the thermal and electrical limitations of the PCIe expansion card form factor. It will always be the case that the top of the line card draws as much power as can be delivered through the slot and two extra connectors, and as much as can be dissipated through a two-slot cooling system. If AMD can safely operate their chips at a higher temperature, then their cooling system will be a bit more efficient, so their thermal envelope expands a bit and they can increase performance by a few percent.

Early indications are that NVidia's upcoming Maxwell architecture achieves significant efficiency improvements due to being designed with mobile use in mind, but it hasn't yet been demonstrated in a large enough configuration to compare against high-end desktop graphics chips.
its easy to say that in hindsight :D

I don't know if that is common knowledge (or how old your father is), but there is a specific kind of paranoia which is quite common after a specific age. In Germany it's called Altersparanoia, informally (which translates to paranoia of the old). What you describes doesn't sound like the radicalization caused by manipulating (and fascist?) propaganda, but more like that (maybe triggered or fortified by that thought environment, might be possible. We still don't know enough about stuff like that). Though the holy spirit should make it a different thing, a schizophrenic attack.

The first point really isn't diminished. How many people do you know did things under the legal age limit in college?

As for the second point - "is that an argument for denying the enumerated constitutional right to bear arms to those in that higher risk age zone?" - well, you're stuffing straw into my comment.

I was adding to the author's point that this is a particularly volatile age. Sure we need to address mental health issues, Newtown etc, but I think allowing guns on campus is fanning the flames. Why is this prioritized over mental health reform?

Curious, if there is agreement on an age limit to legally carrying guns, why not raise that to, say, 25? Or, lower it to 16 which is the legal age to drive cars? Why coincide with the legal age of drinking, or the age of half of all college students in the country? Isn't an age limit an argument for arbitrarily denying the enumerated constitutional right to bear arms?
It seems like the bitcoin community should collectively decide to not honor transactions for the stolen bitcoins.

You can't npm install <foo> without getting an error message about the self-signed cert. At least until you update npm, which you usually do with npm update -g npm, but that will also fail with the same error. Fun!

From the casual attention I pay to this, I thought Coinbase was one of the, if not the, largest US exchange at this point. I'm surprised no one has even mentioned it here. Am I missing something?
Not sure if you're joking (I can be tone deaf with text comments), but that's never going to happen. Reddit specifically stated they're only going to open suggestions for 501(c)(3) organizations. Besides, even if they didn't, it'd be hard getting money from an American company into the hands of someone actively being pursued by the American government.
Thanks for saving it, probably hit too close to home for them.

A lot of this is also in how they manage the fallout of this decision - the "Streisand Effect" may come into play here...
Coinbase is not an exchange; they're a broker, when you buy there you're buying from Coinbase, not from someone else's sell order like you would at an exchange. Exchanges match buyers to sellers.
> You just posed a false choice. There are choices besides central authority and gold coins. Any currency in which people have faith and trust can be a legitimate currency on that basis alone. Of course, any currency must earn trust, and Bitcoin is nowhere near earning the public's trust.

My point was its equivalent to gold in the fact that it has no central authority controlling the supply.

>Let's ask Weimar-era Germans what they think

Oh yes, it had nothing to do with the massive amounts of money they were forced to pay in reparations and the rebuilding they had to do. By the way, no one ever said there wasn't a bad way to central bank. My argument is for good central banking, as Bernanke has done. Not the type of shit that Alan Greenspan did. (or the weimar republic). Just like I endorse democracy, but there are plenty of failed democracies. I could just as easily turn your weimar point back at you and say the great depression was because of the gold standard. Because we happened to have a gold standard at the same time. If we had central banking at that point, it could have mitigated a lot of the damage.

This seems like the best way to go about it. Use statistical analysis to find similarities between wallets involved in transactions stemming from the root. When you can give a qualitative "Here's where these coins are going", you can start to identify the culprit. Since there doesn't seem to be a legal framework to prosecute such theft anyway, I'd really just want to find them to congratulate them. Sorry to anybody who lost their coins :(
Really? it still works for me.
Not once did the article talk about the C++ ABI which is one of the most important things a library developer needs to be aware of (as opposed to an application developer).

The C++ ABI is unstable. You can't effectively deploy 3rd party libraries with that either.

Android ships with multiple versions of the compiler, each one of those are incompatible with each other's standard library. On top of that, Android ships multiple C++ standard libraries for each compiler, all of which are not-interoperable either. Then Android updates the compiler with each NDK drop introducing more potential incompatibilities.

The end result is you can't deploy prebuilt C++ libraries (a prickly issue for commercial/proprietary code) unless you can force users to use your exact toolchain. But library writers usually can't fairly dictate those terms, especially if the users want intermix libraries from other sources which may use a different toolchain.

Generally speaking, that's not what "open source" means. Reading the license agreement is always required to determine if that's actually okay to do. In this case it's okay as long as you reproduce the license in any redistributions (e.g. hosting it on GitHub).
> I think yo may have replied to my sentence without reading it fully. Because BitCoin is an internaitonal entity

BitCoin (or Bitcoin -- for someone so caught up on details of capitalization, you fail to be consistent with it) is not an "entity" at all.

> the U.S. government has no authority/right/power to regulate Bitcoin (note the upper case),

Various international narcotics trafficking organizations are "international entities", and yet the US has both theoretical power (subject only to the extent to which it has expressly agreed with other sovereign entities to limit that power) to regulate them, and has exercised practical power to exert destructive power over them, including in their actions and operations outside of the United States.

So even if Bit(C/c)oin was an "international entity", that wouldn't support the conclusion you draw from it.

> do you mean the virtual currency system Bitcoin, or do you mean transactions involving bitcoins?

The statement is true of both, so, yes.

> Legal actions have been based, not on Bitcoin or virtual currencies, but on the specific uses for bitcoins, such as money laundering, drug trafficking and so forth.

This is true in the sense that all legal actions are based on actions, but substantively meaningless, and, in any case, I referred to regulation, not legal action enforcing that regulation. Obviously, the former must precede the latter (and, the need for the latter implies less than perfect success in the former.)
The Federal Reserve is not part of the US government. It is a private organization.

The strange expression does seem wrong to me: the loop should terminate on end-of-line or ":", so continue while not end-of-line and not ":".

I think you're right that shifting negative integers is fine on most any platform you're likely to encounter, but until recently one could also assume that adding two signed integers would wrap in practice, despite being undefined in theory; due to gcc optimizing ever more aggressively, code assuming that signed integers wrap is now broken (see e.g. http://thiemonagel.de/2010/01/signed-integer-overflow/). So I'd be careful with shifts of negative integers in my own code.
Yup. I hesitated to paste the post but someone else did it so it's in the wild anyway now.
