To a moderate leftist in a fight with radical leftists, libertarians are "far right" which roughly translates to non-mainstream right.

The point is the policing powers of the radical left are such that when a member of the moderate left is chosen for public castigation their peers don't want to get involved. Like the author said, she's getting a lot of silent support from people who aren't daring to go public with their support. The reason libertarians are happy to get involved publicly is they're far outside the political left so the radical left holds very little power over them.

A moderate leftist reaching out to Ken White for help would be like a centrist republican contacting the ACLU, that's a lot of trust to place in people that you normally disagree with.

edit: Not sure why I'm getting downvoted here, just trying to explain why it might be difficult for the author to find pro-bono legal help from within her existing social network.

Still surprised there isn't an "exit" or "log out" icon.

Chrome's Find on Page also seems to be mostly broken on this site. I wonder why.
I was responding to a specific interpretation of OP's post which, upon reflection, might not have been the best reading. In short: are people convicted based solely on the presence of their DNA at a scene.

The way I read it was if it was being used in a frivolous manner, e.g. "There was a murder in Times Square last night. We found a hair of yours in Times Square. Case closed." Obviously there are more serious uses, and clearly a spectrum exists of how important the evidence is in the case.

If, in the cases spoken of in the article, DNA evidence was used as the strongest piece of evidence to get a conviction, then obviously that matters. I didn't mean to imply it didn't.

But if, in the cases spoken of in the article, the DNA evidence was incidental to a lot of other evidence - note this was the scenario I was responding to - and not necessarily enough to convict on its own, and more of the "cherry on top", then I agree with them that it might not change much in the way of these cases.

We won't know what percentage fit either description until they've gone through them.
Back in the late 80s / early 90s there was a BBS in my hometown (Windsor, Ontario, Canada) called GB Hotel. It wasn't very popular, but if all the other BBS lines were busy, it was something to do.

The owner of the BBS, handle "Kilroy" as I recall, hadn't logged into his own BBS in _years_. Nor anyone else's, for that matter.

We used to joke that he'd probably died, and Mom and Dad just left his Commodore 64 sitting there, wondering why their phone bill was twice as much as their neighbours.
Don't get on COBRA with a plan to stay on it, I think you're saying, and I agree.

If your new employer doesn't offer health care, go buy some: switching jobs is a "qualifying life event" and lets you buy outside the yearly sign-up window.

If they do offer health care, then you're set. Wait for that. This one-week gap isn't going to mean anything or change anything.
Well, I suppose the root counts as a zero-character domain.

The trailing . makes it fully-qualified.
Good thing we got NL finished before this became policy.
I've had a similar experience writing web-apps in Scala.

The Option type alone handles so many cases which would otherwise require unit-tests in Python or another unityped language.
I'm not a developer (I generally only write shell/Perl/Python scripts to make my own job easier) or a database expert but wouldn't this issue be pretty easy to avoid if the whole process were wrapped up in a transaction? E.g.:

BEGIN TRANSACTION;
SELECT balance AS balance1 FROM giftcards WHERE gift_card_id = 1;
SELECT balance AS balance2 FROM giftcards WHERE gift_card_id = 2;
UPDATE giftcards SET balance = balance1 - 5 WHERE gift_card_id = 1;
UPDATE giftcards SET balance = balance2 + 5 WHERE gift_card_id = 2;
END TRANSACTION;

Obviously, this is somewhat simplified and you'd have various checks to make sure balance1 was actually >= 5, etc.

Again, I'm not a developer, so what am I missing?

Yes, actually. Heck, the very limited PDP-1 was a capability machine of sorts. Most microcontrollers run circles around it. The simplest of the new schemes check small tags with hardware that runs in parallel to the processor. Essentially, the processor executes the instruction and the result is not written unless parallel unit says "All good." This should have little performance, latency, and chip area overhead. I'm not saying every microcontroller of every cost and such can be done this way: probably just mid- to high-end microcontrollers will be secure by design.

Also, there's long been chips design to run languages that are type- or memory-safe by design. Sandia Labs recently made a high assurance processor for a Java subset: the Sandia Secure Processor (SSP) or "Score" processor. It doesn't allow new code in production mode, resists all kinds of errors, has assured tool sets, has a converter from legacy Java to its, speaks JVM natively with associated benefits, uses asynchronous interrupts for determinism, and is fabbed in a rad-hard process. They aimed at safety & assurance over throughput so the specs are 25Mhz from 35,000 logic gates (110K with memory). Their ASSET framework and its high assurance design also led to amazing feet of 3 weeks from synthesis to working ASIC with no timing errors. They said similar projects normally take 6 to 18 months (!!!).

In closing, the above is evidence embedded can benefit. Yet, two in embedded just popped into my mind: CodeSEAL and smartcards. CodeSEAL combines custom hardware with a processor to (a) encrypt and hash memory pages to stop leaks or attacks outside SOC; (b) control flow whitelist produced by compiler to block all attempts to hijack it. MicroSEMI sells this commercially. Other one is smartcards: microcontrollers with strongly assured hardware, firmware, VM's, and so on for small prices. I should've thought of them first because they kind of answer the whole question, don't they?

Guess it doesn't hurt to spread more info on high assurance security tech. ;)
Maybe the same lab shouldn't even be testing both samples. Just send the sample from the victim to lab #A and same from the accused to lab #B and compare the digital results.

The two samples shouldn't be sent in together, there is absolutely no benefit in that. Plus the lab shouldn't know what they're testing so there can be no accusations of bias/manipulation (e.g. "this person is definitely a child rapist, if you guys find this DNA matches this child rapist goes to jail, if it doesn't' (wink wink) then they go free").

The anonymous digital results can then be shipped to the defence so that they can double-check the degree of similarity with an expert of their own.
Wardriving software like kismet will show your the RSSI of the AP. Is it possible with stock hardware to determine the RSSI of connected devices? Then it is just the hot/cold game. I'm sure actual radio triangulation/direction finding would be possible as well but I'm not sure how difficult that would be.
Hahaha

This is how Facebook begins to die.
Lmao. My initial reaction exactly. DARPA's writers are usually better than this if it's something open to the public. Other times, they do it on purpose. Maybe they got mixed up on which style to use.
Glass was a testbed that got overhyped thanks to executive meddling. I see no such thing with This, nor with Soli or Ara.

These are all ATAP projects revealed during a DEVELOPERS conference, so that there can be a collaboration in getting the software in place before general market release.

The overhype is why Google stopped doing device announcements at IO, because all the oversized tech blogs would grab the tickets just to be there to oh and ah at the new device, but not come up with new code and uses for the tech showed. Rather they would often pan what was clearly meant to be early prototypes as if they were the finished product.

Google, and to some degree Microsoft, is doing things the old PARC way. Create stuff, show it off, and if they can't find a use for it maybe someone else will.

Apple on the other hand sit on things until they have a use for it, and if they never find a use for it nobody else gets to see it and find a use for it.

In the end the PARC way of doing gave the world things like Ethernet and the GUI. Personally i prefer this way to the Apple "take my ball and go" approach.

But the press sadly love the coy ones, as they are so much easier to write clickbait about.
what's actually happening is the Chinese have started harassing neighboring countries in an area 600 miles offshore China and within 100 miles from other countries like Vietnam and other south East Asian countries. By harassing I mean arresting fisherman, cutting seismic cables from oil exploration companies and getting aggressive with any other ships. All these countries want the U.S. to assist in protecting their sovereignty and are asking for help. The UN won't help and no other sea power aside from the U.S. has the ability to help. Look at a map of the red line area China is assuming control over and you will see where some of these areas are. It would be like the U.S. Building artificial islands 100 miles from Spain, building airstrips and arresting any Spanish ships the come nearby. This is not US imperialism it is Chinese expansionism and other countries are asking for our help. It's clear the Chinese wants control of south east Asia and they are acting aggressively to take it.

6 Landscaping Tips to Help Sell Your Home
Gamify the search engine experience? Give people points for each distinct search query? Have a leaderboard? Have people compete on who can find the answers to questions the fastest using a search engine? Have quests of knowledge where people have to journey through the internet solving problems for other people using search engines to gain points? Sell people power ups during the competitions/quests that allow for them to more efficiently parse through many sources of information?

Idk, the search engine experience has remained the same for what I can see for a couple decades now. I'm not surprised people wouldn't want to pay for that. But if search engines could be combined with aspects of be a mmorpgs, I'd might pay for it, or at least sell my account after I racked up enough points for someone who wants it :P
It's not an argument from authority, just a statement of the implied Bayesian priors. One who gives greater weight to scientific papers than to religious pronouncements is entirely rational in doing so. That is the entire well-argued thesis of the Relativity of Wrong essay we are discussing.
I'm not sure that the solution to over broad laws is more overbroad laws.
Irony isn't lost on those of us who are not USian (that's 95.5% of the world's population, last I checked), some of whom may feel compelled to take their first steps into the world of hacking (monkeying around with IP anonymizers, proxies, VPNs and all that, or going straight for the inevitable torrent) just to be able to watch that pilot episode. Way to go, dudes!
So China just gets to overrule every nation adjoining the Spratlys because you think they are less aggressive than the US? Doesn't make sense.
Post that your company just got funded in CrunchBase :)

But in all seriousness, look at blackhatworld.com (where the spammers gather) and look at how they scrape and spam email addresses (search for "email method"); there are a few ways that everyone else is copying, and you could get your email in there.
There's also https://github.com/devongovett/pdfkit, which I've used to bulk-print ticket envelopes for an event. It does support multiple pages, as I had one PDF file per event occurrence (with 50-80 envelopes per).

Looking at the map, China's claim on these waters seems pretty wild. Sort of like Portugal claiming ownership of parts of the Mediterranean Sea.
That's definitely part of the solution I need - thank you for that. I'll take a copy and see if I can munge it with some of the other things I need.

Dereferencing a null pointer is legal in C. It's the conversion of a null pointer from from an r-value to an l-value that's illegal, which does not happen in that snippet of code.

That's why it's perfectly legal in C to do this (&*foo), even if foo is a null pointer.
It seemed capable to telling fingers apart when rubbing against each other, through a sheet of paper or similar.

I suspect they could embed this behind the screen of a smartwatch, and allow broader motions in the air above the watch to select object on the smaller watch face. This in particular as it can detect 3D location, so it can tell a press (moving closer to the screen) from a selection (horizontal and vertical motion).
Yeah, I could have been clearer about this. At 18 employees, his new employer surely offers group coverage (if they didn't, he shouldn't work there regardless of whether he's dealing with an illness). And of course, if temporary COBRA coverage is the only way to ensure he has no coverage gap, he should make use of COBRA as well.

Just don't do COBRA as an alternative to the employer's group plan.

I don't see how killing to the killer do justice to the victim. (or his family).
Actually, I was thinking of Finnish.

With regard to the books, while I haven't read The Selfish Gene, I have read GEB, and while it's a superb introduction to the philosophy and formal logic, that's not really what I mean about modes of thought.

Example: Scottish Gaelic has two words for red. dearg is the kind of red you get in paint or dye. ruadh is the kind of red you get in hair or deer. They're not considered anything like similar in Gaelic, even though they're usually translated into English as the same word. So, if you think about colours in Gaelic you're going to reason about them in a very different way than if you are in English.

To expand on my reasoning with Finnish is: in English, we have two (well, five, but only two are of interest here) pronouns, which are gendered: he and she. This means that it's much easier to talk about two people in a single sentence if they're of different sexes. "He opened the door using her key." If the person who owns the key is also male, we can't use this construction unambiguously, so we need to rephrase.

Finnish only has a single pronoun, hän. So Finnish can't use the construction above. In order to say that, they'll always have to explicitly choose some other means to disambiguate the people. "The locksmith opened the door using the customer's key." "The large person opened the door using the small person's key."

Whereas in English, the first thing we do is to try and disambiguate by sex, simply because it makes the grammar easier. So people who think in English are going to reason about pairs of people (of any sex) differently than they will in Finnish.

The same reasoning applies to any place where a symbol or construct in one sentence doesn't map 1:1 onto the same symbol or construct in another, which is all of them. Learning and internalising a construct in a non-native language gives you a new way to think about things and expands your mental toolkit.

Those numbers assume you're planning on keeping it for 30 years, which skews the numbers well in favor of buying.

I'm sure the ldd problem could be solved by writing a slightly smarter "ldd" that doesn't actually execute the ELF binary, as well.

I think what's being argued here is that the probability of being right by blindly following scientific consensus is greater than the probability of being right by blindly following non-scientific anything. Nobody's saying that science is never wrong, only that it's less wrong than other sources of knowledge, has a process that makes it even less wrong over time, and when it is wrong, it's only relatively wrong in the way that is described by Asimov.
Yea still COM based but part of what is being removed is a huge swath of underlying automatic reference counting for a huge number of things. Constant buffers resources etc.

Sure you can look at machine code generated from a virtualized language but I'd have a tough time understanding it in the context of the whole runtime, let alone being able to practically do anything about it.
SD cards are not popular in the US. Googler's also thought they were no longer popular. Mudge pointed out that outside of the US (emerging markets, Europe, etc) they are an essential feature.

Game Theory explicitly talks about behavior in a rigorous way. That should be enough of a counterexample.

Science can talk about specific events ("John stabbed Joe with a knife"), it can talk about how people categorize them ("the stabbing had features X, Y, and Z that the typical mind categorizes at "murder"), and it can talk about how typical minds perceive and judge events it has categorized.

Morality is little more than an abstraction that human brains use to make social value judgements that help them fulfill their complicated set of values. If you can understand the values people have and the way these judgements help fulfill them, you've basically aced morality.

I'm not saying it's easy. I know several brilliant people working on this, and they're still getting surprises and uncovering edge cases. What I'm getting at is that statements like "most people think killing people is bad" can be reduced, with great difficulty, into statements about human behaviors and brain activity.
If you're going to write a block of text like that, you could at least fact check the main premise. Rust had GC. They started off with GC, so it wasn't the very first decision that "no code can perform with garbage collection".

Here's a post about removing GC from core rust 2 years ago: http://pcwalton.github.io/blog/2013/06/02/removing-garbage-c...

Next: they didn't kill GC. They removed it from core, because rust is capable of having gc implemented as a library. Standard library still has two gc-enabled pointers - Rc and Arc. You can use them in current code to have garbage collected values.

That's a 10^-8 difference in scale at the top end, though if we use the size of the human brain instead that's 10^-10 difference in scale. We're certain, however, about the Planck length being the smallest scale but not whether "The Observable Universe" is really the greatest distance. If some of the large scale parameters of physics, e.g. the fine structure constant, vary depending on position, then there could be a mathematical limit to the size of the Universe, which could conceivably be 10^10 times the "Observable Universe".

scientists are, in general, scrupulously honest where it concerns their work, probably because their work is about 'truth'. Nevertheless, scientists are still people and many people lie and cheat when it suits them.
My recent years of interests and works were all about social media monitoring. We had built an enterprise grade version, Croakun based on python/django, tracking facebook, twitter, instagram, youtube, blogs, forums, … and presented in interactive dashboard for decision making. MeteorJS is hot recently. One language for all is promising (Javascript for frontend and backend). I would like to build a meteorjs-based twitter monitoring apps while exploring more about meteorjs.
