It's just much easier to produce correct code in Java than in C (or even Ada). The bigger and more complex the software -- the bigger the gains (it's easy to write simple/small programs in any language). We also used NASA's open-source Java PathFinder to verify parts of the code (there are model checkers for C, too, and others for Java). This paper (https://ti.arc.nasa.gov/m/groups/rse/papers/lindstrom-rtembe...) describes applying JPF to the realtime scheduling aspects of RTSJ (something we didn't do).

Cannabis is a plant that contains cannabinoids that are drugs. As a chemist, I typically don't refer to unrefined plant material as a drug. Because people don't typically consume caffeine raw, most people don't consider coffee consumption "doing drugs"; so, I believe cannabis deserves the same consideration.

Language matters, and I don't consider it to be pedantic to make this point (however subtle the distinction is).

Edit: And, for reference (since you missed the definition of cannabis):
Cannabis is a genus of flowering plants that includes three different species, Cannabis sativa, Cannabis indica and Cannabis ruderalis.
The War against security researchers "hackers" has began, and I think the reason is because in "information war" the hackers are a threat.

> Find myself on a 737/800, lets see Box-IFE-ICE-SATCOM, ? Shall we start playing with EICAS messages? "PASS OXYGEN ON" Anyone ? :)

737/800: is the type of aircraft and specific model (Boeing 737, stretched version (800)).

Box-IFE-ICE-SATCOM: Is a theoretical (or actual?) exploitation path.

Box: I'm assuming is in-flight WiFi

IFE: Is the in-flight entertainment system

ICE: Is also part of the IFE, but I'm guessing he specifically referenced that due to the "I" (in ICE) namely, the information that gets fed into the IFE from the flight systems (speed, altitude, and position)

SATCOM: The uplink used by in-flight WiFi but also the IFE to provide "latest news." If can be used to deliver information to the airline about the aircraft so they can keep track of if its on schedule and such.

EICAS messages: Used on aircraft's secure network for flight crew alerts and diagnostic information. Some of these may be relayed onto the insecure network and forwarded to the airline (similar to ACARS, but over SATCOM).

PASS OXYGEN ON: The implication is he wants to cause the oxygen masks to drop down into the passenger cabin (although in reality sending this wouldn't do that, it would just set off a warning on the flight deck letting the pilots know that the oxygen masks dropped, even if they physically hadn't).

If he could send EICAS messages to the aircraft's secure network, that would be a legitimate safety concern. However if he just witnessed EICAS messages from the insecure network, that isn't really a concern except maybe he could send misleading ones to the airline and give them a metaphorical heart attack.
It is good advice. You should be able to be honest with your doctor and they need to be honest with you.

If my dr said cannabis had adverse interactions with one of my meds I'd expect to see any one of NICE guidance[1], or a BNF (British National Formulary) or MIMS (Medical Information Monthly) or similar reference, or at least some study showing a link.

If you want to sell anything over the internet your choice is either credit cards (and wallets such as paypal build on credit cards) or bank transfer or bitcoin

Do you seriously think this is the first time in history that working people have been homeless? Travel around the world sometime; the continuum of poverty includes many different statuses. Why should homeless people not be as capable as other people of having desires, like wanting good food for their dog?

Living on the street is dangerous. You risk exposure, robbery, disease. The threat of rape is constant. If this "feels like a choice" to you, you're ignorant of what's involved. As the article itself says:

> If you want to say I chose to become homeless and sleep on the streets, really all I have to say is fuck you. You’ve never experienced it.
"Just because they are "old" doesn't mean there is something better."

Nobody has claimed this, so why are you arguing against it? You've pretended someone has claimed something, and then you argue against that rather than the actual arguments made. This is called a 'straw-man'.

You're like a lunatic, arguing against an imaginary person.
>There are three areas I am aware of where labor can absolutely compound (in terms of output): business, software, and learning.

Well this would mean that every 10 times engineer ends up 10^20 richer than average at the end of his career. Since that far exceeds the planet's wealth, I am somewhat skeptical.

And if there are no 10 times engineer, even a five times engineer would end up roughly a hundred trillion times wealthier than average. So I humbly submit there's a flaw in the idea of literal compound labor value.
For those who aren't aware, Hollywood studios have been doing this for 5 years or so on their theatrical releases. Every title that goes out contains a track for both hearing impaired (boosted dialog, reduced sound effects) and visually impaired (a complete narration of what's on screen).

Additionally, there's an on-screen caption track for theaters that wish to schedule entire screenings for the hard-of-hearing as well as an off-screen caption track that can be sent to hand-held or worn devices.
That is strange. Fairly close to Norway, the market is different: I would say almost all phones in Finland have FM radios, except iPhones. Lumias have them, most Androids have them (except Galaxy S4), and all the Nokia S40 and Symbian phones have them.
After quick search [1][2][3] I'm not surprised your doctor was hesitant, if something would happen to you he would be the first to be sued and possibly lose his license. You still have option to go to a different doctor who is willing to take that risk.

If taking the drug is important to you, what about not taking the drug with marihuana?

Interesting. One of the claimed advantages of DAB(+) is that the transmitters use less power. But if that happens by offloading the energy use onto the receivers, that may not be a wise choice.
Not much different from other stolen goods like jewellery. It has value, people want to pay for it ignorant or disregarding of its (stolen) origins. You do it in person. The buyer has limited culpability. In addition, after some time (I don't know the English legal term for this), ownership transfers from the victim to whoever possesses it for long enough. (i.e. if B steals a bike from A, and sells it to C, then C possesses the bike but doesn't legally own it, ownership is still with A. But after a while, ownership transfers to C. At least in many legal systems). The sale occurs in cash and identities are generally not registered.

In other words, the banking system is circumvented and everything is done with cash. The other option is to employ the banking system in a way that is also used for business fraud in general: use throw away accounts from socioeconomically fragile and 'disposable' people. Criminals will approach someone who is (semi) homeless, or a minor in high school. They probably have a bank account with $50 on it. You pay them $100 for their ATM card & bank account and promise more with some story, e.g. employment as 'jr. financial controller' in the criminals' non-existent company. The victims (who fall for it) argue to themselves "I have $50, I get $100, and have been promised $500 more, what do I have to lose?"

Will there be people who deny this opportunity? Yes, probably most. Will there be people who won't? Yes. And you only need a single card and you can run 3-5 days of scams on it before the account gets reported, flagged and blocked. And you can run thousands of dollars of money through in that period.

The criminal now has a regulated bank account on which he can receive payments without it leading back to his identity. At this point you can scam people on Craigslist (send me $200 for the Playstation and I'll send it to you asap, do it at 3AM and it won't get deleted manually by an admin, and you'll find 3-4 people who'll fall for a too good to be true price because they're desperate), or indeed actually sell stolen bitcoins at 95% of market value (inviting arbitrage who will buy up everything you have).

You then go to the bank, use your card to withdraw everything, and disappear. The guy who gave you his card gets a call from the police and tells his story. Sometimes he gets a minor fine, but generally he is a victim, too and has no means of covering any damage.

Will there be people who deny stolen bitcoins? Yes. Will there be people who either have no clue at all which bitcoins were recently stolen or not, or if they do, not care? Yes.

It's really messed up and pretty fool-proof. The big criminals get caught eventually. (they leak information to friends who report them. They run $500k of scams through Craigslist and get priority and get traced via their ISP, usually they barely know what an IP is). Or they do this + a bunch of other stuff like break ins and get caught when the police finds $100k in cash at their home. Or they get reported trying to recruit lots of kids for their debit cards etc. But I'd bet if you did it small-time/smartly you could easily get away with it.

Why 'Political Correctness' Gets in Its Own Way
Advertising companies spend a lot of time and money convincing industry companies that ads work and that their ROI can be measured. In reality you cannot attribute a particular instance of someone seeing an ad to a specific purchase except in the case of a click-through online purchase, which I think is a pretty small portion of sales.
Wow, you're really going after a strawman here. The comment you're replying to didn't claim what you seem to think it claimed.

All it was calling for is a distinction between people living on the streets because it's fun versus people living on the streets because they must. It muddies the mind to lump them all together in one group called "the homeless".
This is something I've tried really hard to think about, and it is indeed very difficult.

I'm a meat eater, and don't intend to stop. That's the best thing I can think of where I expect to be seen as horrible 100 years from now.

In the case of current online communities, I hope the current habit of picking one comment someone made, or one photo they took, and the whole internet attacking them for it, will be seen as unacceptable. (I'm not talking about people doing things genuinely terrible, but doing things which lots of people do every day, but then one person, for some reason, gets into the public sphere for it).

Mt. Gox used bitcoin, just as my bank uses USD and has FDIC insurance. Stop splitting hairs.

Any number of the fraudulant/hacked bitcoin exchanges or marketplaces could be used in place of Mt. Gox as an example of when you need insurance: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=83794.0

You can't claim that no insurance/chargebacks is a competitive benefit and then say the ensuing consequences aren't a problem because of "expectations". People on a daily basis do not expect accidents or fraud, but when it does happen it is needed.
MakerBot is still in business. Yes, a 20% layoff is not a good sign, but it's a little early to say MakerBot is "doomed".

Taking it one step further and saying that it's the Osborne effect which caused their troubles is even less valid. There are a ton of different possible causes for MakerBot's troubles. The only honest answer here is that we don't know why MakerBot is having trouble, although there are a number of very good guesses we could venture.

The OP seems to be frustrated with MakerBot going closed-source. I share that frustration, but let's call that what it is, a frustration with MakerBot going closed-source, rather than using MakerBot's failures as an excuse to gloat.
I doubt they will do it but I'd like to see Netflix add descriptive audio to older shows. I know a lot of American shows that get aired in the UK have narration for visually impaired people, it would be nice if Netflix would make this narration an option for stuff besides there original series.

You've already decided that the increased costs associated with credit/debit cards aren't worth the increased protections and convenience you get as a consumer.

Personally, I find it much easier to be able to carry a credit or debit card rather than having to worry about carrying cash for everything. And knowing that I can get my money back pretty quickly if there's a breach or if a merchant doesn't provide the services they were supposed to is worth paying a bit more.
The real issue is they don't improve your performance much at all. A recent study demonstrated people simply feel as if they are performing better, however its a false perception. Additionally the drugs won't give you that "buzzed motivated" feeling for long. You have to keep upping the dose and upping the dose, and people end up addicted and in a worse spot than when they started.

"I am on a plane messing with what I believe to be control systems" is a threatening message, even if it isn't intended to be. Moreover: every computer system in the world is vulnerable.

Having grown up in suburbia with a number of friends who have gone the heroin route, from my experience the biggest issue is young kids don't associate their Mom's painkillers in the medicine cabinet with heroin.

Oxycontin is viewed like a fun drug. It's legal, so it must be okay...

Once they're addicted and out of money they eventually turn to heroin(something they would have never touched prior).
Or money orders or mailing cash or checks or barter or....

My point is, you have a choice, so if you don't like how credit cards do things, don't use them.

In France there is a crime labelled "association de malfaiteurs" (criminal's gathering). Fantasizing about a crime is allowed. But actually laying out plans, watching the neighbourhood, or performing concrete steps towards the crime with the intent of actually performing it… well, that is forbidden.

Makes sense to me. Mere thoughts should never be forbidden, but acting on a criminal intent, even if the acts, taken independently, wouldn't be forbidden, is something else entirely. First, actions can be punished. Second, actions are actual evidence for the intent.
You assume I've not meditated over many years.

I'm generally a little touchy about western misappropriation of and imperialism towards eastern religion under the service of capitalism. As such the original article resounded with me, and 'mindfulness' meditation in some of its rhetoric strikes me as deeply bigoted and colonial.

Thank you for the other clarification. I'm sorry that I read your article as trying to respond to what I was saying. I didn't realise you were just trying to make your own points.

E.g. "- You asked for verification, I gave you my own" - I didn't ask for verification, I asked for scientific studies that demonstrated the claims were verified, because I was responding to a claim about science. If you weren't interested in demonstrating the point scientifically, so be it, but then your response was irrelevant afaict, since that was the topic, before and during my post.
> Europe has had chip and pin for decades now (it was already well established on my first trip there in 1998) and we're just getting it now after a ton of major breaches that should have been easily prevented.

There's a lot of misinformation about chip-and-pin (which is not surprising, because a lot of well-funded companies currently have a financial interest not to clarify the misinformation). This has been explained in more detail on the threads about the breaches by others who work on payment systems, but chip-and-pin would not actually have prevented several of the breaches that have happened recently in the US.

Furthermore, the main benefit to chip-and-pin has to do with the liability, not actual security. I'm not talking about the liability shift onto merchants who don't accept chip-and-pin; I'm talking about the situation in which fraud or suspected fraud occurs using a chip-and-pin system. In this case, though, the benefit is entirely for Mastercard/Visa/etc., and not for the consumer.
Bitcoin is pretty much digital cash. There is no institution that governs the transfer of cash, as in if you pay at a store with cash, or pay a friend cash, or pay a criminal cash, or buy some drugs with cash, there's no 3rd party involved here like say a Paypal or bank transfer.

Bitcoin is like that.

But like bitcoin and cash, institutions are part of the ecosystem. You likely get paid by regulated organisations such as an employer or company, you may store your cash with a third party like Paypal, a bank or a bitcoin wallet service like Coinbase. You may exchange your cash into a different currency, or have a company send your cash somewhere, and institutions are involved just like with bitcoin.

And all these organisations are generally subject to the same, or stricter regulatory oversight. In most states for example, bitcoin companies are considered money transmitters and subject to your regular money transmitter laws. And in some states like New York, actual bitlicenses are being designed to specifically provide bitcoin/cryptocurrency regulations in addition to these laws, not replacing them.

The fact that not everyone uses institutions, or that some illegal institutions exist (just like how some use cash without using banks see [0], or use illegal organisations for their financial services (e.g. Hawala remittance services instead of Western Union, illegal in many countries), is no different from people using bitcoin without involving an institution, or using bitcoin services that don't follow their regulatory obligations. (the minority of popular wallet companies, exchanges etc, btw).

So... no miracle here. It's extremely similar to cash as we know it. Not exactly similar of course.

You got it backwards it is the person I replied to earlier who claims that credit cards are superior because they have the "chargeback" feature.

Most of the worlds commerce is done in cash, Bitcoin is very much like electronic cash and it does this very very well.
Like any other well designed protocol it does not attempt to do more than it was designed to do.

Things like insurance and chargebacks etc etc will be provided (already are!) by startups in the bitcoin space, and thats great.

In my opinion the credit card "chargeback" process is not a feature it gives too much control to the consumer while shafting them merchant (which in turns leads to higher prices for the consumer) all while making money for the credit card duopoly. If anything it makes fraud (against the merchant) more possible and likely this once again results in the consumers being indirectly harmed when merchants have to price in credit card fraud and chargebacks into their prices.
