At least here in Minneapolis, a good portion of the train operates down the middle of public streets. It follows red lights and has to deal with people pulling into intersections waiting on a turn signal, stupid pedestrians, etc.

Even WITH drivers two people (that I know of) have been hit in the last two months. The train line wasn't set up with driverless uses in mind in the first place, and the city is likely worried about liability and cost in switching over. Even if the number of accidents goes down with full automation, cities aren't likely to believe that until enough other places prove it for them.
"The Sims 3 Pets" soundtrack. No joke. I've never played The Sims 3, but like the soundtrack because it is like [good] elevator music. Kind of reminds me of the SimCity 2000 soundtrack, just happy but with that undertone of momentum.

Game and movie soundtracks are great for work. Particularly when they are just scores or choirs (as opposed to bands, duets, or single vocalists). Way less distracting.

The Internet of Things: Automotive as a Microcosm of IoT
I love it when non-legal people report on the legal system, get a ton of shit wrong and then point at the system and say how broken it is.

First of all, Federal indictments are almost always granted to the prosecutor. This lead to the now famous quote from the story about a ham sandwich. This is the because of the Supreme Court case United States v. R Enterprises, Inc:

"federal grand jury subpoenas are presumed to be reasonable and the burden of showing unreasonableness is on the recipient. A motion to quash a federal grand jury subpoena on relevancy grounds must be denied unless, “there is no reasonable possibility that the category of materials the Government seeks will produce information relevant to the general subject of the grand jury's investigation.”

source: http://corporate.findlaw.com/litigation-disputes/federal-gra...

All a grand jury does is determine if there is enough compelling evidence to try a person for a crime, that's it. To say those charges have been dropped is misleading. All the prosecutor has to do is reinstate the indictments and they can proceed with those charges. They didn't "fall off the table" like the article states, the government hasn't formally charged Albrecht yet - something which could happen if he walks in his other case. Just because the government is dragging its feet on these charges doesn't mean they don't intend to charge him.

Like I've said before, the murder charge is essentially an ace in the hole for the prosecutors. If he walks on the Silk Road charges, they can pursue their murder charges against him and reinstate all the murder indictments and formally charge him with those - it's pretty simple. The article makes it seem like the government has dropped all the charges and thus, he's innocent of what he's been accused of. On the contrary, the writer simply is misinformed about how the legal system works.

I have similar experiences, but on the whole still prefer Ubuntu to any other computing experience I've had before. Keyboard issues have been my most recent timesink.

That is one brittle grammar with very unhelpful debugging tools.

Accused of violating the USC Drug Kingping Act amongst others. Accused of running an $80 million narcotics ring. Accused of murder for hire. Accused under the law as written. You may believe him innocent by appeal to actual law/logic (merely accusations at this point), or un-prosecutable due to the Fourth Amendment (see: United States Constitution), and you would be right. But from a moral/legal standpoint, "accused" is definitely the right word.

I'm curious what the main downside to using multiple vms for this is. Seems like a simpler system, all told. Sure, they are bigger parts, but they are much more cleanly defined in how they interact with each other.

That is, finding ways to isolate applications on one machine from each other, while sharing the same resources, just flat out sounds difficult. That two applications can have different /etc/hosts files, for example, just doesn't really grok that easily.

That two machines could have this is easy.

> It might have been entrapment, just as a means of putting him into police custody, making him unable to interfere with further investigations by erasing trails that had not yet been followed, and also providing a means to seize his Bitcoins.

It's only entrapment if government agents persuaded him to commit a crime he wasn't otherwise inclined to commit. For it to be a defense he'd have to show that the government actively talked him into hiring someone -- just offering to do it and seeing if he takes them up on it isn't enough. (The analogy I've seen used is that an undercover cop saying "hey, want to buy some cocaine?" isn't entrapment.)

I'm an ME who uses CAD on a daily basis and I'd have to say that yes at first parametric modeling in the current software packages is a challenge. But I'v found it is a learning curve similar to syntax in programming. Once you learn to construct features robustly you do it every time and you no longer have too many hideous errors. No different than programming.

Yes, in Arch Linux. And as I've said elsewhere, it's a good idea, but terrible execution and a load of unnecessary controversy. I think GNU/Linux should have one major init system, with the option to use any other system one wants to. But in my own informed opinion, systemd is not the init system we need. I'll take 30 year old working technology over unproven, barely tested new technology with hostile developers, any day. If the day comes that systemd is stable and mature, drops the insane binary log system, stops being a dependency for entire DEs, stops being hostile to any other init system (if your distro of choice uses systemd as a default you risk breaking your system if you want something else), along with developers who aren't lazy and working in a bubble of their own creation, then I'll welcome it with open arms.

But that's a lot to overcome.
Good OCaml code is one of most readable in the category of static languages, I agree. But it's less "writable" than readable in my opinion. Of course you can get used to the syntax, but for me expressiveness and clarity of comprehension comes from both: simplicity of writing and reading.

Often I feel like there is a barrier between your thoughts and their execution which does not exist in Python or Ruby for example. When I switch from OCaml to Python it's like a breath of fresh air.

In conclusion I think common tasks must be syntactically abstractable. For example, I find working with standard data structures in OCaml annoying, as if I were programming in C.
There are tons of syntax extensions for OCaml that try to fix these defects, but it only supports my claims.

I'll add that you need ';'-as-separator (you also use ';' in other places, such as when separating items in a list) only when calling functions which return 'unit', which is typically functions which perform side-effects (eg, close a file). That's usually a small portion of your program.
You're invoking "IDE" features like it's a panacea. In reality IDEs have only a few limited ways to catch these kinds of errors. With a statically-typed language it can run static analysis at intervals and make sure that all the messages being passed are actually defined on the objects they're being passed to. You can do this precisely because that's what static types gives you.

In dynamic languages you can't do this because you don't know the type that any given identifier is pointing to. The type could be completely arbitrary, I.E. coming from external input. You might think, "oh, well you could just check against all possible methods", and you'd be right, except for Ruby. Ruby allows you to override what happens when you call an undefined method, (method_missing) letting you execute completely arbitrary code that lets undefined methods look just like methods. You could call car.start_and_drive_to_the_bank, and set up the Car type so that it can handle methods like that, (perhaps calling car.start, and then car.drive(bank)) along with .start_and_drive_to_the_mall and whatever. In practice that's bad Ruby, but you still have to be able to handle that, Bad Ruby is still Valid Ruby.

So there's just no way to tell in Ruby whether any given method call is correct or not.

I have an idea to conventionalize method_missing overrides so that they're easier to analyze. Maybe define a regular expression on the class so that the analyzer can sort out what's likely to work at runtime and which messages aren't. Not sure how well it would work until Matz manages to implement static typing as he wants to do in the future. Until you can tell whether any given identifier is likely to be of a type that overrides method_missing, you'd be running the method_missing analyzer for all types on all method calls.

>> It's just a synonym for mainstream medicine

No, it's a term used by cranks who are usually promoting a totally evidence-free 'alternative'.

Everything outside mainstream medicine is inferior. It hasn't been well tested (a lot of modern medicine is very well supported by evidence, but not all). It hasn't been shown to work at all, it's superstition and supposition. This applies as equally to modern nonsense like homeopathy as it does to older traditions like traditional chinese medicine.

Modern medicine is flawed, and these flaws need to be continually found and addressed. This does not mean alt med is in any way valid.

There's a bit of misinformation in your post, but someone else already addressed it.

Personally I like Class D amps for basic uses like computer speakers and such. That said, I have a very basic class D receiver/amp that I use as a preamp for a larger 2.1 system with studio monitors for computer sound, as I like my FPS games and music to be clear and accurate while still being loud enough to "feel" things like explosions or timpanis.

Technically the Class D amp can push those monitors well enough, but at more than 1/3 volume there is some distortion and clipping, whereas on my discrete amp I have yet to find any distortion within comfortable listening levels.
IANAL

Short answer, no. Long answer, it depends and you'd need to be careful.

The issue isn't copying the artwork per se, it's copying the Vatican's picture of the artwork. They will likely release the images for free, but retain copyright over the digitisation.

Would you be caught for stealing a plate from an ancient book and incorporating it somewhere? Dunno. The Holy See is part of the Berne convention so you're still bound by their claimed copyright. Are they really going to go after you? I find it rather unlikely unless you're peddling images of the Sistene Chapel.

On the other hand if you made a reproduction of the image, say you found a drawing and manually vectorised it, then I think you would be safe - as after all, it's the photo that's copyright, not the manuscript.

In principle, taking a photo of a Van Gogh and putting it on a Tshirt is perfectly legal. The bans on photography in galleries boil down to:

- Light sensitive works

- Copyright on newer exhibits

- Profit making for the gallery (as many galleries in the UK are free, this is how they make their money)

- House rules, you may not be violating image copyright, but you may be violating house rules which they could kick you out for
