Hm, I'm in a Chicago Airbnb right now--it's clean, inexpensive and in a decent location (a block from Cermak & Western, in Pilsen).

Chicago's Airbnb stock did seem a lot more commercial, though--this location is run by a married couple that has three or four rooms over two floors in this building, plus some other listings in a second building, and I saw at least one former low-rent SRO that had been turned into a higher-rent, shorter-term SRO, thanks to Airbnb.
1.24 million deaths caused by traffic accidents in 2010 according to http://www.who.int/gho/road_safety/mortality/en/ . But isn't reducing fatalities one of the main benefits of self-driving cars?
This method is really inefficient. There are b! / (b - n)! ways to choose n of b unique numbers, whereas this solution is O(b^n).

That being said, it's still fast enough for this example.

Also, Python solution along the same lines:

import itertoolsdef
def valueOf(*values, base=10):
v = 0
for v in itertools.accumulate(values, lambda a,b: a*base+b):
pass
return v
def solve():
for s,e,n,d,m,o,r,y in itertools.permutations(range(10), r=8):
if valueOf(s,e,n,d) + valueOf(m,o,r,e) == valueOf(m,o,n,e,y):
yield (s,e,n,d),(m,o,r,e),(m,o,n,e,y)

(If anyone knows of a better way to do valueOf, let me know)
I bought a Dell Precision M3800 for personal use a few weeks ago. It's available without a Windows license which was a plus (I live in Ubuntu-land). Only drawbacks so far have been a) the available Linux drivers for the Broadcom wireless seem a bit wonky and b) a lot of apps have issues with the high DPI display.

That depends on what kind of gestures you use and where. The closest edges for instance are more easily accessible. Also gestures doesn't necessarily mean swiping.
VeriSign (.COM) already is a CA, and browsers cannot blacklist them. The CA is just too popular for that: any browser that did that would be seen as "the browser that randomly presents scary warnings", no matter how justified.

ICANN isn't, to my knowledge, so I guess the question is whether you consider ICANN more trustworthy than the least trustworthy of the other 170-odd organizations your browser trusts.

DNSSEC certainly has other problems, and yes the trust model is bad, but it is not somehow worse than X.509.
My experience is different. I see the majority of men, irrespective of height and hair color, are actually drooling apes with shagging as their primary objective, often preceded by turgid double-entendres. Mirrors elude them, clearly. I often find myself treated as a sex object by both men and women in the most inappropriate settings, finding it necessary to remind people that some self-control with strangers would be more welcome than the pawing and expectant lame chat-up that they see as so important.
If Greece remains in the Euro, most likely that deal would not be allowed. Most of Europe is already annoyed at the existing low-tax schemes.

If Greece exits the Euro, the Euro group would pass legislation compensating against the Greek deal, effectively nullifying the new tax scheme.

There's zero chance such an arrangement either is allowed to work, or if put into practice ends up having enough financial returns after the Euro group responds to it that it justifies the extreme risk.
It would be interesting to calculate how many years the average human would live before the probability of dying due to accident/injury reaches 0.999 or so.
For a much better take on much the same topic, you might look at a UK scientific think-tank's "What is Aging? How Can We Delay It?":

http://www.longevitypanel.co.uk/_files/What-is-ageing-can-we...

"Our goal for this project was to produce a report about the complex processes involved in ageing. We wanted it to be accessible to a wide spectrum of readers, not just those involved in academic study. It has been an important example of teamwork - bringing together Panel members with their different disciplines, the eight scientific experts, a leading social research organisation, medical writers, actuaries and modellers, among others. This report is based on the opinions of leading scientists who have been studying the biology of ageing. We have supplemented their views with some key evidence from the results of recent research into ageing, and have developed a model to illustrate what the impact of different treatments might be on our lifespan. It is being published because the Panel is keen to share its conclusions with others and to support the continuing debate regarding the implications of ageing. In addition, the Panel is very keen to hear from others working on any related research which can aid understanding and be recognised in our future work."

I don't understand how python's leadership works but from my outsider perspective it seems like the solution is that those with some power need to show some muscle in forcing a direction. I mean this has been going on for 7 years now, someone needs to lay down the law.

If you introduce a new developer to Python the first step is "ignore Python 3, nobody uses that" and then explain that there's infighting about backwards incompatibility so most packages either don't support it or do it badly. Why do I have to justify to new talent the reasons why I'm using a language that can't even agree on the latest version?
This article, like many, mentions the idea of the Prisoner's Dilemma (PD) but does not convincingly connect it to the particular nature of police corruption.

An interesting article; still, I tire of seeing so many articles introduce and anchor game theory based on the PD or one particular configuration of it. The PD is frequently overblown, misunderstood, and misapplied. Game theory is much more than the PD.

I think it is also worth mentioning that game theory isn't the only game or theory in town when it comes to thinking about society and collective action. For example, systems dynamics is also quite interesting; see Thinking in Systems: A Primer by Donella Meadows.

To get a handle for police corruption, I'd argue a theory probably should explain how and why:

* corrupt police do/don't get caught
* corrupt police do/don't rat each other out
* police are/aren't monitored
* police are/aren't incentivized

They aren't really interfaces. They can be like interfaces (just method signatures) or like classes without data (including definitions for some or all methods). Using a name distinct from either "class" or "interface" limits the degree to which incorrect expectations from similar-but-critically-different constructs in other language interfere with understanding of the Rust construct.

Everything else being equal, perhaps you are right. However by blessing one as the official editor the tools can be written to work with that rather than the lowest common denominator. This will make it more difficult for alternatives which is a cost, but I do believe the upside is worth it - unfortunately I can't prove it.
Possibly because of this effect.

There's no security problem with the telnet client, unless you're using it to log into remote hosts without encryption. But OP, and presumably many other people (like me), use telnet as a simple TCP client for troubleshooting. On Linux, one can use netcat (though I never remember to type nc, and always try telnet first), but of course Windows doesn't come with netcat.

"Therefore, most of the time, banishment did not lead to starvation or even necessarily isolation."

Do you have a reference for that? It doesn't jibe with my understanding of banishment, but my readings are from agricultural traditions. More specifically, outlawry under Germanic law, where someone was judge to be outside of the protection of the law. Full outlawry on Iceland effectively meant banishment from Iceland or death. (See https://www.nottingham.ac.uk/english/documents/innervate/09-... .)

I found https://books.google.com/books?id=9ZkIAAAAQBAJ&lpg=PA81&ots=... which says:

> By the end of the last ice age .... To be cast out of a band .. usually meant total banishment from the society and eventual death, either by starvation or as a result of aggression by members of another society (Salisbury, 1962).

And here's a reference concerning Aboriginal use of banishment, from http://www.ajic.mb.ca/volumel/chapter2.html :

> As in European societies, some crimes required the complete removal of the criminal from society. In most Aboriginal societies, this meant banishment. In such close, family-oriented societies, where survival depended upon communal cooperation, such sanctions were considered a humane alternative to death, no matter how traumatic they may have been to the offender.

Further, http://rsc2012hscls.wikispaces.com/file/view/Law+Reform+Coun... :

> Exile or banishment has been described as an extremely harsh punishment and was not embraced by all Aboriginal societies.

This does not sound compatible with your conjecture that pre-agricultural era banishment was not a real threat.

Further, I do not follow the logic to "Therefore, most of the time, banishment did not lead to starvation".

Consider this non-real scenario. Humans can survive only be eating buffalo meat. There are huge numbers of buffalo compared to humans, so there is a food surplus. However, it takes 10 people to kill one buffalo. In that scenario, exiling someone leads to certain death as a lone human cannot hunt a buffalo. While the human species is not resource-constrained, a single human is.

Similarly, in Intuit cultures there were strong specializations between male and female roles. For example, it was women who were trained in how to sew the skins to make clothes against the harsh weather, while the men learned hunting skills. If a male were banished, I wonder if he might not have the skills to survive on his own.
This is admittedly a shortfall of go. However it's one that is fairly easy to rectify later and one the community is quite capable of solving itself.

While it may seem harsh that the 31st-century equivalent of "Driving Under the Influence" carries with it the death penalty, this is due to an inherent inequivalency between MOUI and DUI.
With DUI, you need only climb into your vehicle while under the influence of alchohol or drugs and attempt to drive it home.

With MOUI you must disable a number of safety systems designed to prevent idiots like you from manually operating their vehicles while inebriated, overtired, wasted, decaffeinated, angry, emotionally distraught, or suffering from hormonal disorders like PMS or testosterone poisoning (the latter having been positively identified as a leading cause of stupidity among males between the ages of puberty and death). After disabling the safety systems (which task almost certainly requires ice-cold sobriety), you must decide to switch the vehicle to a manual mode of operation. In some cases, this requires installing a manual mode of operation.

After this demonstration of superior technical skills and poor judgement, you must then deliberately impair your defective judgement further by quaffing, inhaling, injecting, or otherwise consuming something mildly toxic (or, in some precedent-setting cases, breaking up with your girlfriend.)

At this point you might argue that you are no longer responsible for your actions, which actions include climbing into your vehicle and attempting to pilot it home. Technically, this is true. The prosecution will counter by arguing that it isn't Manual Operation Under the Influence that you are going to be humanely (if rather publicly) executed for. It's the fact that you deliberately made such an irresponsible act POSSIBLE by putzing around with your ride. You know those signs that say "don't putz around with this system -- serious injury or death could result?" Well, they were talking about YOUR death, and it is now resulting.

As a Debian user for 15 years, I don't understand the hostility against PPAs.

As a user, they provide me with a convenient and somewhat-traceable source of supported packages for my release. For example, at work we're stuck on Ubuntu 12.04 which has git 1.7.9, but there's a stable PPA that can give me a more up-to-date git which has better pull options and defaults. Easier, more trustworthy, and more reliable than compiling and packaging my own!

Alternatively, I'm learning OCaml on Debian unstable, and the OPAM package manager was stuck at 1.1.0 for months after 1.2.0 came out, and to add insult to injury the Debian version was broken because of a silent incompatibility with a dependency.

I realize that by using a PPA I'm going out of Ubuntu's (or eventually Debian's) well-tended garden of tested packages (and honestly, "well-tended" is a very relative term) and potentially exposing myself to risky sources, but that's my choice.

I'm afraid this opposition to PPAs boils down to conservative dogmatism bred from decades of no good option for user package existing. There have been issues, yes, but don't throw out the baby with the bathwater.

With that said, it wouldn't surprise me to see this turn into the next Xerox PARC, where perhaps they don't capitalize on all of these new ideas but it truly pushes the envelope forward. It could be great for the world, but I think a lot of times the ability to produce these innovative ideas and bringing them to market can work against each other.

I imagine there will be pissed passengers in the car who are sitting stopped for far too long because some jackass things he's above traffic laws. I suspect the self-driving car will also usher the age of people getting beat up for fucking with self-driving cars.

There's a million social elements here we haven't explored. Imagine driving through a ghetto and lots of people rush over to your car to rob you (or worse). Your car will happily brake for them, when a human would have recognized the situation and accelerated and veered off to avoid them. Or weird edges cases like garbage on the road or somesuch and the car not being able to outmaneuver it because it may be illegal, but a human with a more lax acceptance of traffic laws will veer into the right lane close to another car to avoid it.

Or just the daily grind of speed limits. On the expressways I drive the posted speed is 65-70 yet most everyone does 80-85. Doing a steady 60-65mph because of how laws were written to get speeding ticket revenue might be annoying. Especially if you're the only non-human driven car and everyone is speeding past you and honking because you're not going the speed of traffic.
Nobody should have built an intersection anywhere that big, then. But such behaviors are totally infuriating in places where there are many pedestrians, for example all of the stations on the SF Muni's T-Third line require passengers to push the button to cross the street after disembarking at center platforms. These crossings are not far (only half of a moderately wide street) but they don't have a pedestrian walk phase by default. If you haven't pushed the button you get to just stand there for another cycle. Example:

https://www.google.com/maps/@37.790723,-122.390108,3a,75y,92...

As you can see, the street-view car has captured a brilliant scene. Traffic is jammed. Many pedestrians are waiting to cross. The guy in the Mini is either going to run the light or stop in the crosswalk. The person in the white minivan has somehow managed to drive up the street car tracks. And for the topping, someone has blocked the bike lane with a portable sign.
