Une troisième saison pour la série Da Vinci’s Demons
Da Vinci’s Demons aura droit à une 3e saison, mais sans David S. Goyer ! L’auteur de la série, étant trop occupé, cède la place à John Shiban. Il dirigera Tom Riley qui incarne Léonard de Vinci.
The Air Force ... [required] ... enough cross-range capability when landing to be able to launch into a polar orbit from Vandenberg, deploy a satellite, and land back one orbit later. This is purely a wartime requirement. No peacetime mission needs this. This required much bigger wings (and thus much more weight), even though the Shuttle never once launched out of Vandenberg, let alone on one of these crazy single-orbit missions.

THANK YOU! 16 years ago I visited Vandenberg and saw SLC-6, and it has always confused me why they spent so much money building a shuttle launch complex they never used. The argument I always heard was, "well a polar orbit wouldn't make sense for the shuttle" ... but as a wartime option as you describe, now I can see why they did it.

I'm not saying I agree with them, but finally it makes sense why they built and maintained the place, without ever using it.
This is a great point. One example of a company doing this is Rocket Internet (http://www.rocket-internet.de/), a Germany-based "internet accelerator" that brings tech companies and services to developing/underserved markets. Some of their properties include foodpanda (http://www.foodpanda.com/, Grubhub/Seamless for SE Asia, the Middle East, Eastern Europe, Africa, and Latin America), easyTaxi (http://www.easytaxi.com/, the world's largest taxi booking app), Lazada (http://www.lazada.com/, Amazon for Indonesia and SE Asia).

They've raised over $4b and created over 20,000 jobs since they started in 2007. Pretty ingenious.
You might be surprised at regional variations in dimensional lumber species.

2x's are commonly eastern white pine in many parts of the country (or "SPF" -- spruce/pine/fir, no promises, but not douglas fir). DF is sometimes also available, as is SYP. Both are more expensive than WP, slightly.

4x4s are always DF, in all locations that I've noticed. No doubt due to its superior straightness and strength.

Also curiously 2x3 availability (always WP, afaict) varies greatly. I've had lumberyard guys stare at me like I was crazy for asking where the 2x3s were. These weren't new kids, either.

All of these variations might be influenced by local building codes, in addition to regional distance-to-market.

As for the species in the photo... Could be cedar, but the grain looks pretty tight -- another possibility would be redwood, which is appropriate for the use, and is available at west coast lumberyards. Can't get redwood on the east coast except at specialty yards, and even they generally don't stock it.
No call sign, 63,000ft altitude, speed 14 knots, and a loopy flight path. Definitely not a commercial flight or a civilian aircraft!
Thanks very much for this extensive feedback - very helpful! Getting some more noodles now :)
In my position I am not an Operator, though I do operations; I am not an an Administrator, though I do administration; I am not a Developer, though I do write code.

I am not an Architect, I am an Engineer.

I don't engineer software, hardware, or physical machines. I engineer systems. Systems of interrelated hardware, software, tools and people. I can't abstract my position away from any of these things. Like any good engineer, part of my job is getting my hands dirty working with those systems.

I am a Systems Engineer and the title is very appropriate. If things fail, I do bear a higher burden of responsibility than many others, but certainly not always the only responsibility.
But you can extend lines by putting a \ at the end. I think I was this while looking through some glibc code quite a long time ago. So, you can have a single "line" that happens to have multiple statements.

Yes Google is a rather special case. It clearly has technological advantages and may have succeeded despite its clumsiness if Chinese regulations were different. However that does not explain how others failed, like EBay or Yahoo. I showed clearly ownership restriction wasn't the reason. Local operational control was, in my opinion. I don't even see how this could be controversial. Jack Ma is one of China's richest man. So are the other Ma (of Tencent) and Li (of Baidu). Does anyone think hypothetical resounding successes of EBay/Google/Amazon etc could have similarly minted local billionaires? Why would the same incentives work in the US to create successful entrepreneurs but not in China?

Tactically it may be true that stricter ethics rules make things harder. But that didn't stop businesses like Starbucks from succeeding eventually, because their business model can be transplanted.

Alibaba didn't have success handed to it. Its initial B2B model was ho hum. It had to or did recreate itself, multiple times. Its Taobao was initially a loss leader with free listings. TMall was also not given a high chance of success. It had ferocious competitors. It created its own business models and executed well to ensure their success.

1969 was not anywhere near the "red scare" which was in the early 1950s. Anyone living in 1969 would have been well aware of the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962, in which a nuclear war almost broke out, and the USSR's brutal invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968 to crush the pro-democracy protests there. Pretty much the opposite of "funy."

Anyone reading this document would have known full well that "communists" in this context meant government officials of the USSR, North Korea, or China. All of those regimes had (and two still do) highly censored presses that were indeed not "careful with captions" -- or the lives of people who dared to expose the truth about the government in general.
I understand this particular piece of legislative manipulation is likely the product of some politically-connected dealers or auto lobbies. It does, however, work as a piece with an apparent fringe campaign that has been remarkably successful in lobbying against urban planning and mass-transit projects in the U.S.[1][2]

Based on some collective delusion loosely connected to a voluntary, non-binding U.N. resolution known Agenda 21, activists, mostly connected to the Tea Party and stirred up by such media personalities as Glenn Beck, have managed to successfully shelve these projects for reasons that can mostly be traced to their being supported by their (assumed Democratic) political opponents.

Most languages that are whitespace sensitive don't actually allow you to mix indentation. In fact, Python 2 will give you an error saying that a particular line doesn't match indentation level if it's a different number of spaces and 3 will give you a warning (and since warnings can be made into errors...).
Back in the before times that role was 'Systems Analyst' it can be very fulfilling but it takes a special person to be good at it. I try to keep track of systems people I meet over time, good ones are rare.
I didn't down-vote you(in fact I don't have the karma to do so), but I think the reason you were down-voted is because the intent of your statement is unclear.

What I think you're trying to say is that while false captioning _should be_(and indeed _is_) easy to trace(given modern tools), it is still more prolific and successful(potent) than you would have expected.

That said, your post reads like a train of thought, not an opinion.... You offer forth some conjecture, give an example, refute it, and then don't formally state your thoughts on the matter. It leaves us, as readers, nothing to respond to really...

Let me give you an example. I'm going to describe the same thing two ways.

a.)Bank robberies seem to be easy to stop today, with the multitude of security systems in place and general improved response time of law enforcement. For example, in the last decade multiple bank robberies were attempted and the overwhelming majority of them were foiled. It seems that no bank would be susceptible to a robbery, however robberies are as potent as ever. Check out these random sources I have relating to isolated cases of robberies [0][1]
[0]-source
[1]-source

b.) It's surprising to see that bank robberies are so potent given the multitude of security systems in place, as well as the improved response time of law enforcement. It seems that banks wouldn't be susceptible to robberies given the tools they have at hand, yet we have evidence of it happening regularly, I wonder why that is.

TLDR/In Short: You're offering us 'conjecture', that is; you're giving us your interpretation of how easy you think false caption detection should be(for the average pleb like myself), but you're failing to tell us why you have that opinion and then you exacerbate the situation by disagreeing with yourself.
If there were standing issues in the case against California it would been tossed out years ago.

In the unfair competition case, after trying and failing to get rid of the case via bogus sanctions, Y Combinator and the other defendants manufactured standing issues to get it thrown out by arguing that one cannot be the victim of "unfair competition" if one is not legally permitted to compete (even when the other parties are "competing" by breaking a law). This leads to the perverse conclusion that § 17200 encourages illegal activity.

Most legal gadflies are not cited by opposing counsel in formal filings before state agencies, invited to submit testimony to Congress, consulted by the GAO on what to tell Congress, cited by academics, or offered fellowships at Stanford Law School. But, you know, whatever.

With respect to CPUs this is not entirely true.

Processors with different clock frequencies roll off of the same assembly line but small variations in manufacturing change the quality of the yield quite a bit. This includes the side of the wafer a chip is on or how far the chip was from the center of the wafer. As a result, processor manufacturers test their ICs and sell them based on how each one performs
It is pre-1.0, and only official builds are provided for OSX so far. That said people are having a lot of luck getting things working on disparate configurations so I am feeling optimistic about the progress of lin/win!
For what purpose? Surely the type checker doesn't recognize the equivalence.

a1 :: a
r1 :: r

f :: a -> r
f a1 = r1

b :: (a -> r) -> r
b f = f a1 -- == r1

but `a f` is ill-typed.

m :: a -> (a -> r) -> r
m a1 f = f a1 -- m === (flip ($)) === (flip id)

So it appears that `(a -> r) -> r` is a "co-value" that can be applied to a function (resulting in the application of the function to the underlying vale of type `a`, dual to the usual situation where functions are applied to values.
Cool feature. Probably will come in very handy for domain seekers.

Maybe you're right and class 2 helps the company care more about quality and actually paying their developers (but if they don't, why do the devs work for them?), but I think I work in a class 2 project, and it's the worst project I've ever been in.

The management is completely incompetent (no clue how a sw project works), so even though they blow millions every year, the project setup, architecture, separation of teams, is all abysmal. The different teams cause everybody to no longer give a damn, because if something is broken, you are guaranteed to never be able to fix it - you'd need to call in lots of meetings first. So we all build up little fortresses that call the other module's services.

I'd differentiate projects as: those where people in charge care about the underlying build quality (call it technical debt, but that's not nearly all of it), and those where people in charge don't give a damn for anything except their current deadline/objectives (doesn't matter if anything of value makes it into the current build).
Transients are a different type from the corresponding persistent, as seen by the fact that different operations are supported. Clojure's programmer-facing type system doesn't expose the transient type explicitly, but the semantics certainly implements a linear type system.

From the page you linked:

"""

Capture return value, use for next call

Not persistent, so you can't hang onto interim values or alias

"""

I realize you were throwing something together with your wife. When "describing countersunk screws" is presented as insightful it is clear we are not discussing professional work. But when you said "While that amount of info and detail might be needed by a professional making furniture (and actually I don't even think that is the case if you are good you can usually make do with much less)" you were talking about professional furniture.

I do not understand how/why you are making statements about professional woodworking. It does not seem like you have any idea about what it takes to keep a professional shop in business. It was hard enough during the boom and now that a lot of that custom work has dried up it is even harder. There is a reason why one jackrabbit bit is $45: Clipping one drill to your belt and grabbing the other is a waste of time AND it is not consistent. Wasting time like that is deadly for a professional shop even the places that can charge a premium for "artisanal/handcrafted" work.

There are a handful of shops that do have to worry about assembly line production speeds, but they have names like Sam Maloof attached to them. And lets face it Maloof did not win a Genius Grant double fisting Dewalts.

I'll chime in and say the analogy was lost on me. A slow loading bar with "that didn't feel like a fast lane, did it?" -- no, it didn't feel fast. So what? "Tell your government you support an open internet." How is it that related to a slow loading bar. I agree the OP needs to look at rewording the message. It's concise but it's more confusing than informative.

Oh, I agree that LNG is resource constrained (of course!)

The interesting thing is that the impact of peak LNG is difficult to model. For example, most of the modeling for peak oil didn't anticipate the rapid shift to LNG use, which has moderated the price impact on oil.

I find any predictions of peak gas made prior to 2009 extremely suspect, as they don't take account of extraction from shale oil fields. See, for example the predicted production graph on [1], which predicts increases in US production out to 2040. I find that graph reasonably defensible, and it doesn't take into account non-US sources (eg Qatar, Brazil & Australia all have huge gas fields).

I don't disagree with the concern about peak oil and peak gas. I just find it extremely difficult to predict what it means - especially since the technologies associated with the gas industry are rapidly changing.

Worse Than a Bug: Cockroach Code
I switched from tabs to spaces about a decade ago and I've never regretted it. I seldom find files written by crazy people who think 8 spaces is a viable tab width anymore so I can pretty much adjust to whatever nice 2 space or wasteful 4 space width the original file authors used.

Back in the 1970s, I chose tabs to save bytes in my text files. Today I feel like I can afford the extravagance.

Its nuts, dead center of the dining room there is black pipe right next to some old nob and tube wiring. It was as if they were not sure this new fangled electricity thing was going to take off so they were playing it safe and kept their options open. Fortunately I knew the other end was dangling in the basement. When I had an electrician put in a new service he saw the open end in the basement and said that he still stumbles across pipes that are hooked up and occasionally are noticeably leaking.

Out of all the companies you listed, NONE have American born founders: Ebay (Iranian), Yahoo (Taiwan), Google (Russia, ok Page is born in Michigan). How many people who aren't born in China have been minted as billionaires at Chinese companies?

Starbucks had plenty of problems with their Chinese partners; they worked hard to get to the point where they were actually allowed to run stores by themselves without a parasitic local partners, and I think this is only true in second tier cities right now.
Most operating systems and frameworks don't expose the concept of leap seconds to user code. For example, Unix time is the number of seconds since the epoch ignoring leap seconds, so a program that compares timestamps generated by time() would be correct in assuming that a day is 86400 units of time_t.

The SOPA fight was so successful because the rallying call was super clear: Don't Censor The Internet!

Was SOPA strictly censorship? Well, not precisely - but that would have been basically the result. You could go on for an hour about all the details of the bill's mechanisms and how it breaks this thing called DNS which is a really important system that assigns names to numbers and that's bad because DNSSEC is important and we really need to get internet security right... and by the end nobody is listening anymore. Calling it censorship was close enough, and it triggered an immediate and negative reaction strong enough to get people to listen and act.

Likewise with the FCC proposal. You could go on for an hour talking about how IP routing works through internet backbone providers and how when an ISP doesn't upgrade their interconnects you get congestion which causes dropped packets which increases TCP latency and that's bad for new websites that depend on backbone providers because that's how the internet is structured and it's super important and.... now nobody is listening.

"Slow Lane" achieves something similar to "censorship" - an immediate and negative reaction, hopefully strong enough to get people to act. Plus a visual demonstration for users already frustrated with the broadband they pay too much for really drives it home. Is the FCC explicitly creating a "slow lane"? Well, not precisely. But it's the result. So let's call it that.
On a related note: as you grow in competence at any skill set, more things move into being "just wood." If you're an accomplished carpenter, a chair is "just wood", even though it might be quite intimidating to someone who has never worked with tools before.

Point taken, it does look like a train of thought. It does seem like I'm disagreeing with my self! Technically I probably am.

Let me start over:

* False captioning (FC) is easy to spot if you compare sources.

* Clumsy Photoshoping is too apparent today, at least for the internet crowd. Its plain for the eye to see, so to speak.

* While easily "debunked", for FC you have to read blogs or other media. Good photoshop jobs take a lot of effort and talent, FC is easy to do.

* Things were definitively different just 15 years ago. Viewers expected lower resolutions and photoshopping was that prevalent.

* In the end of the day FC seems to be preferred form of deception ("fakery"),
This is probably the worst benchmark I ever read. Talk about fitting the data to your desired predetermined result.

I mean, only check just "popular" PDFs? What about all the people that work with PDFs and are sent custom files for their enterprise/office/design agency etc, and not "popular" stuff. Has he checked what the shape of the distribution curve for popular vs "long tail" PDFs are?

Second, using the time to load their intro page as a baseline? How's that relevant? Just because he has this arbitrary subjective idea that "up to 3x that time gives a good user experience"? How about comparing to the time Actobat/Preview take?

Lastly, just measures loading the pdf? How about going through the pages?
I see what you mean. Yes, the if in a macro is a problem. I haven't addressed macros, that's a whole different can of worms.
I think the tabs vs spaces problem is silly and nobody should be using spaces[1]. Compilers should treat leading spaces as a syntax error.
