I'm curious as to why this is better in your opinion. Doesn't adding the range to a blocklist carry the potential of being copied by other blocklists? Then an ip seeking to send mail must track down and request removal from every blocklist that it's been added to whereas the alternate approach requires the email administrator only contact a single entity, and one they are a customer of to boot.
This is why I hope that Proof of Stake currencies currencies like Neucoin take off.

Dogfighting was supposed to be archaic and improbable in 1968 as well, since who was going to get close and maneuver when you had guided missiles? Then the losses mounted, and they created TOPGUN.

What really makes dogfighting unlikely, is the fact that United States hasn't fought anyone with airplanes in 40 years.

From everything I read, the F-35 is shit for two reasons. First, the Pentagon hadn't learned it's lessons from all the other times they tried to make one fighter for every service which almost always has failed. (The F-4 being the notable exception.) And Second, the Marines insisted on a damn VSTOL aircraft. Really, it's the Marines's fault. If ignored them (and really you should, because they're just insisting on duplicated effort), then you'd have much narrower, and thus maneuverable, airframe. The reason why the airframe is so wide, is because it must accommodate a lift-fan than isn't even installed in the Air Force and Navy versions. Even when the lift-fan is installed, the extra weight, and the need to take off and land vertically, causes the Marine version to have less range and less armaments. If you had cut the Marines out, you would have gotten the <a href="http://foxtrotalpha.jalopnik.com/amazing-photos-of-chinas-ne....

It's really a shitty plane, and what really pisses me off about it, is that this seems to be incredibly common place anymore. Read the <a href="http://foxtrotalpha.jalopnik.com/broken-booms-why-is-it-so-h... cluster fuck around the KC-X</a>. You can't read these things without wondering if the Pentagon doesn't actually know how to buy anything, and they're getting taken for a ride by overly complex (and thus very lucrative) contractors.

I don't think the Pentagon knows what it's doing. Actually, I don't think anyone involved knows what they're doing.
They need you to raise the money they'll use to replace you.
Can anyone recommend color schemes other than Solarized that have extensive support across board (not only vim, but all the plethora of terminal emulators, command-line applications, etc.)?

Solarized is too low-contrast for me, so I have hacked-on support for hybrid (solarized syntaxes + tommorow color codes), but it's not really uniform. And, imho, well-balanced contrast is the most important thing.

Non-exhaustive list of applications that I'd like to see supported - vim, emacs, tmux, weechat, vifm, newsbeuter, taskwarrior, mutt...
Eh? The US has about 100 F-22's which are used primarily for national defense.
The bulk of the F-35's were supposed to go to the Navy which is the defacto offensive air force of the US armed forces which cannot fly F-22's off their carriers which means they'll actually need a fighter which is capable in CAP / A2A roles.

But we'll see what comes out in the end of that, the 1st country which will get the F-35 as early as late 2015/early 2016 is supposed to be Israel, they are getting their own version which will include a different engine and their own avionic package.
And the IAF doesn't care about BVR despite having what is arguably the best A2A BVR/WVR missile currently in service the Python-5, their doctrine is go for the gun kill and that anything else doesn't count.

That said you can find similar reservations in pilots going from Gen 2 jet fighters to Gen 3/3.5 fights like from the Mirage 3 likes to an F-16 losing quite a bit of agility in the process.

The F-16 at the time was the 1st negative stability FBW Jet and quite a few pilots took it to town complaining that it's too unresponsive too sluggish and you don't fly it but rather the computer flies you.

That same issue would've probably been sensationalized just as much as the F-35 if it would've happen today, well the Aircraft will get better and pilots will learn how to use it's flight characteristics, so how much of an improvement needs to be done to the F-35 is yet to be seen.

Is there a reason that you find the existing resources on Bitcoin (the Wikipedia article, the paper, the "how it works" page on bitcoin.org, etc.) unclear? What parts of them do you find un-plain or handwavy? What have you read? Do you concur with the purported answer in part and not in part, or do you disagree completely, or do you not understand it...? Help us help you.

I don't believe that Bitcoin is a good idea, but I certainly believe that it works for the use case / model of the world it has, and I believed it just about as soon as I heard of it, because I found the resources clear. I imagine so have most others, and so us repeating that to you is probably no different from what you've heard already. If you tell us more about what you understand and what you don't, what you've read and what you haven't, then we can give more useful replies.

As far as I know, the supreme court has not ruled on controlled substances. Those are established by congress (and the DEA) and states have their right to have legislation that negates or otherwise "violates" congressional action. Congress can always withhold monies for roads and infra, though, so they can coerce states into cooperation in a different way.

The Marriage Equality action by the Supreme Court explicitly states that states cannot illegalize same-sex marriage. Can a state illegalize it? No.

Can states legalize the sale of cannabis? Yes. Can the DEA still come in and bust people in those states? Yes. Is that fucked up? You betcha.

We'd need a nationwide agreement of some sort to not employ people who have already worked their quota of five years in the police force. Other than that, I would absolutely agree with the idea.

Something I don't understand is how we tolerate the blue code of silence. If a police officer lies in a court of law to protect a fellow officer, they should get at a minimum the same sentence as the fellow officer in question.
Essentially, yes. How do you admit that your 1+ trillion dollar project was a complete failure? Doing so would be a career ender for a number of people.
Did anyone actually believe that Uber was making a profit?

Honestly the question should be: Can you have a $50 billion valuation, while losing money? I'm not saying the the valuation should be zero, because they do have assets, but $50 billion is a lot of money.
Interesting! Can you support multiple image buffers? e.g. for xor or morphing operations. I would suggest taking a look at avisynth as an example of a media processing language.
Exactly. Many like to focus on the shortcomings of Bitcoin (of which there are many, I agree). Some more even like to predict the 'death of Bitcoin' based on these. However we shouldn't ignore the fact that cryptocurrency is developing rapidly (hell, it's only 6 years old), and many obvious issues are being slowly but surely worked on (privacy, wallet security, energy consumption, mining decentralisation, sustainability and tx fees, microtransactions, contracts, scripting, etc.).

As for when it hits mainstream consumer adoption, who knows. I'm here for the ride.
There is no behaving 'reasonably' outside the law. It's clear that if they had not won over the consumers, the people who the law is supposed to help, Uber would not exist.
The press around this experiment uses misleading language that leads people like Deepak Chopra to think that we create reality through consciousness. It has nothing to do with consciousness. This article explains it:

An attorney can help you work through the mechanics of your situation, some additional things to keep in mind (while you're getting materials to talk to them because really, do that first):

1. Try talking to someone who you trust & who is totally unconnected (maybe a family member) and get an alternative and more charitable interpretation of the other founders' actions. In the end you may not believe it but it's a useful perspective.

2. Only work with people you like and trust. From the sound of it whatever the legal options you probably don't want to keep working with this team.

3. Founder equity is not worth much if you don't also have a continuing role in the company (leverage) or a strong relationship with the remaining founders (trust). There are many things that can happen in future financing that are highly dilutive and if protecting your interests is not seen as essential your 30% could end up not worth a lot (or readily liquid). Cash in any amount is probably more valuable.

4. Even if you legally can use the IP for a new company doing so could give the current team ammunition to take shots at your reputation.

Good luck.
It would be profitable, but assuming the situation your describe, it would primarily come down to (1) driver churn and (2) costs associated with any adverse legal rulings/judgments.

1. Cost of recruiting drivers is relatively high - probably around $50-$100 per driver. This cost is composed of background check (probably $10-20), the ad that got them in the door ($5-10 for that click), the overhead cost of recruiting staff and onboarding staff and 1099 paperwork ($2-$5). Let's be nice and say $50 is the cost. Again, being generous, if the average ride is $20, and Uber takes 20% ($4), that means that each driver needs to perform 13 rides for Uber to make their $$ back. I don't know for sure, but anecdotally most drivers I've ridden with likely exceeded this, so I'd say they are good on this front.

2. In reading the recent CA administrative decision, the main damages were for reimbursement for mileage, at $0.56 per mile. So this means that IF a state were to determine either that (a) drivers are employees or (b) drivers are not employees but some "third-option hybrid" for whom Uber still needs to reimburse miles, this would great eat into their margins and drag profitability down.

Reality is just a giant whirling layer of infinite View Master-like multidimensional slides, overlaid one upon the other. Every slide locks into place to be seen as we are looking in whichever direction, at whatever time. I'd wager time travel is never discovered by humanity, but that some sort of time or dimensional goggles are created, eventually.

Essentially, we're all watching our own multi-dimensional, multilayer, composite TV channels and seeing shadows of each other across our screens. Allegory of the Cave meets 3D Ray Tracing and such.

That's nothing, though. Not compared to the realization that every face is a mirror, and we're all stuck here until we can treat each other as ourselves.

Maybe it's not true, maybe it's insane ramblings. But it does explain the crazy doods muttering to themselves on the corner and those people in your life who "just aren't watching the same channel as the rest of us."

It seems like the image equivalent of treating an HTML file as a huge string of characters -- instead of as the representation of a DOM tree. Which makes very little sense.

Plus, you seldom want to do trivial things like selecting red pixels and flipping their color to green. You want to select red eyes and flip those to their correct color.
Uber isn't really a job open to the poor. First, you need to be able to afford a decent car, which is right out for the for a lot of people. Second, if you're poor and living paycheck to paycheck, you're unlikely to have the cash to cover any major repairs.

Also, after you deduct vehicle depreciation, insurance, gas, and time driving without a fare, uber doesn't pay all that well per hour.

As far as actual driver statistics go, Uber isn't a good employment alternative for the poor, it's a stopgap measure for the unemployed middle class--more than half of drivers have a college degree and more than half work for less than a year.
The mining farm linked in that article is from last year. A more modern one is shown here.[1] This new one is located in a cold, mountainous part of China next to an underutilized hydroelectric plant, so they have free cooling and cheap power. They've been able to avoid cable clutter; their power distribution uses aluminum busbars, and they seem to have an in-house network that doesn't require vast numbers of long cables. (The data rate for a Bitcoin miner is very low; you only need to talk to it when setting a new block starting point and if it finds a block.)

Slightly related, I don't like (mostly in OOP langs) when I have something like:

import lang.native.api.Something;
import third.party.api.Else;

...and syntax file goes to colorize Something, but Else is perceived as common text.

I'm aware of limitations of vim, being text editor and not an IDE, but I'd rather syntax file to ignore the native API then to have me draw visual distinction between native and third-party classes when, effectively, I couldn't care less. The dissimilarity is just visual noise to me. :/

Sometimes local laws are not worth complying. Taxi medallions are one example - they artificially limit supply and break the market. The argument that a limit on taxis is needed to prevent congestion ignores the whole concept of 'supply and demand'. Too many taxis? The market will correct itself, just like what's happening with Uber drivers (I know many are quitting due to the excess supply).
It might be worth noting that you are one of the founders of UPower.

WHO estimates the increased cancer risk of people living inside the Fukushima Prefecture as being up to 70% higher (thyroid cancer for girls exposed as infants)[1]. Numerous other studies indicate increased cancer risk[2].

During the Fukushima meltdown, radiation levels of 3–170 μSv/h (= 17 mrem/hour) were measured within 30 km of the reactor[2]. Safe levels are 5000 mrem/year[3].

As I understand it, many argue that these of cancer risk estimates are high. I'll be happy to change my mind once medical scientist working in the field change theirs.

This may mean any of the 3 forks and other meanderings others have suggested. Get buy in for the value you create from as many people(team, investors, other stakeholders not even considered like family) as you can get support from responsibly. When majority sees/expresses value, minority tend to think twice about deliberately ignoring that value. Good luck!

Absolutely! As is perspective. Time just translates to a whole series of indexes for which planes of existence, in which dimensions are aligning into the measuring perspective. It's the pointer for some such reflection, and angle to see it.

Those planes of existence are these slides I mention. Whirling in time and subject, but always a representation of some spherical center whole that is the perspective of another. We're all just holes looking into this swirling miasma of time/space/parallel-dimensions/etc, seeing shadows of holes.
Vantage.js: a new take on CLI for Node
If you are going to use SQL select, why use a separate operate statement when you could just use SQL's method for this, update? For that matter, if you are going to use SQL syntax, I would imagine you would want to keep one of the main features, which is joining of datasets. Being able to join an image with itself in some manner (or another image...), would be really useful. Instead of globals, use the images as tables of pixels with those attributes.

Imagine breaking an image down into pixels, actually storing them into a database, performing some queries, and outputting the result. Something equivalent to that (sans database) sounds interesting to me.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the idea of the blockchain is that everything is recorded in it right?

So there is more and more information stored in there, redundantly. So eventually it'll take way too much space for everyone?

(And the more adoption there is, the faster this process is)
Yup, in NYC, Uber is paying a guaranteed $35K/6 months revenue to new drivers (provided they're online 200 hours per month and accept 90% of trips, but you know). I don't know how much of this they expect to pay out, but taxis work really well in this city (compared to, say, SF), so my guess is that they're competing aggressively. If they raised prices instead of subsidizing the shortfall to $35K, would the popular response to Uber be different?

This is a very astute observation and I certainly agree that this is on the cards.
I never said I'm entitled to put others at risk. I'm just suggesting the same laws that say I'm liable if I hit someone in the head with a ball or break their property should be enough for the drone case.

And, while apparently this case was a hit and run that's not special for drones. People crash their cars into things all the time and run even though they're supposed to have both a driver's license and car registration. People also throw balls (or rocks), break windows, and don't fess up. Doesn't seem like new laws are needed
I'll try to explain what I meant about magic. Your piece was interesting on how building mental models is an important part of science which opened my eyes a bit. However, in terms of this discussion I was thinking there might be lower-hanging fruit that makes dark matter appear farther-fetched.

For example, we have calculated the mass of a galaxy, but it doesn't spin right at that mass. So, instead of:

1. Assuming our calculations are wrong, or

2. There is more interstellar dust/gas/solar-wind mass than we realize, or

3. Heavier Black hole at center, or spinning speed/time dilation occurring?

4. Effects of gravity are weaker at very long distances

a different theory is presented instead.... that 2/3 of the universe is made of a brand-new undetectable substance.

As you mentioned it may or may not be true, and I've learned a lot about why it is convincing in this larger thread. Still, as Sagan said, "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence."

It's probably a flaw of the layman that ideas that have yet to be confirmed tend to appear magical.
This library is famous, I had often used it online even years ago.
