I'm not saying the war was free, no war is. Iraq took 116,000 people.

That being said, that number could have been much lower had the initial surge been stronger.

And we knew that Hussein was willing to risk great civilian casualties. We had seen 800,000 deaths as the result of his war with Iran, an estimated half a million killed by his secret police, 180,000 kurds, and so on.

What's more, his policies bankrupted the country, putting many into poverty.

Iraq has now seen a 600% increase in nominal GDP. They now have a national government with representatives from Sunni, Shiite, and Kurdish groups. There is now twice as much electricity produced in their country. Graduation rates are up from 50% to 80% of students. The long-term benefits will be significant.

Exactly, the value is in the fact that it's bundled: instructions and everything you need to make the circuit, exactly the same components used in the manual.

As for getting assorted components to complement these bundles or other projects: SparkFun makes it easy for the US.

But being in the EU (and caring about ROHS and CE) I use these to fill the gap:

It's not really amoral views. Take minimum wage. If they genuinely believe that minimum wage increases unemployment. Then they have taken the moral view that less unemployment, is better than better pay for the workers that stay in work. Most people would agree.

Uber is such a good experience in comparison to Taxis.

Here in Perth Uber provides a clean, calm experience where you don't have to worry about being scammed. Almost every time I've taken a taxi they have pulled the "No change for your fifty" trick, driven the long way which devolves into you having to tell the driver the directions which save you $15 off of the fare or even the times that my Taxi driver has pulled over mid-trip to purchase themselves some energy drinks (without asking me if that's ok).

I can't wait until the taxis and their Government issued monopoly are over. All that matters is that their business model built upon bad experiences, arrogance and scamming is finally being challenged and they deserve to lose these artificially inflated "assets".

The problems are "error". Anything else may be a root cause, which can range from failing hard drives, CPU failure, memory failure, NIC failure, rat chewing on cables, or plenty of other modes.

I would say that we don't care about root cause when the event happens; just get the server out of the pool. RCA can be done post mortem.

I would reduce dimensionality down to 2d: errors per time. In that case, we have a great deal of statistical tools at hand. They also do not require hand-waving of N dimensional cluster detection, where only the machine has any idea of detecting errors. And having something like 1000 dimensions is just tremendously slow, compared to integral analysis of errors in respect to time.

The reason you aren't allowed to publish applications containing GPL'd source code in the Apple Store isn't because the GPL forbids it, it's because Apple forbids it; they have an unnatural hatred for the GPL.

From what I can see the Signal application uses GPLv3'd code. I have no idea how it is still available in the Apple store.
How so? Do you mean driverless cars or something else they are working on?
No impact, is the same setup: I'll spend the majority of my time on Redis, but with allocated bandwidth for Disque as well. After some time I may build a company about Disque perhaps, in order to scale the development process if needed. Thanks for asking this question.
3 Innovations That Are Disrupting Competitive Intelligence
I don't like the way you've framed the debate. As I said below, the reason you aren't allowed to publish applications containing GPL'd source code in the Apple Store isn't because the GPL forbids it, it's because Apple forbids it; they have an unnatural hatred for the GPL.

Whether you like copyleft licenses or not is irrelevant. They are the wishes of the person who developed the original code.

I really applaud this decision, and I hope it continues to work that way. Sometimes when business and opensource collides it isn't always as pleasant as it could have been.
The Agent Smith problem. Right now if an entity in meatspace wants to copy itself it has to breed, and for anything complex the copies are not the same and have to go through a growing process. With copy teleportation it's not really any different than Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V on your computer. As long as you have the energy you can build entire armies of yourself. There many be plenty of good scenarios for this to happen but I can think of far more downsides.
Medallion prices are a function of demand. As prices soared, the taxi commission should have been releasing more medallions as it meant that demand for taxi's had soared. Instead, the actual mafia-like taxi oligarchs pushed to limit medallions and thus drive up the price higher. This was an artificial market, not a demand-based market.

When an externality came in that reduced demand, they were caught off guard, but they should never have been in this place to begin with.

To blame Uber here is obvious, but far from fair. Sorry guys, you ran an artificial market, took out loans against that artificial market, and an externality came and popped your bubble. You had great times for a long time – now it's over.

And it's not just Uber that people are picking over taxis. They are picking their time over taxis. If you read the last two paragraphs of this (terrific) article, the 'time' concept will make more sense: http://www.newyorker.com/tech/elements/the-long-history-of-t...
Existing service has problems, many of which can be attributed to heavy regulation.

Its easy to make $45/hr 9pm-3am on the weekend. The problem is confusing 6 hours per week with 40 hours per week.

This has occasionally been an issue for me with contracting... hey I got a gig 8 hours/one day per week. Um, ok, great hourly pay, but how am I supposed to feed my family working only 8 hours/week, even if the hourly pay is 2x what I get now?

That's why writing is a good second gig for the article author. No way to make $45 between 10am and 11am Sunday, well, go write something, its not like you're losing fares...

It would be interesting if there is an intentional hidden vulnerability within the code that NSA could use as a backdoor into companies that end up implementing the tool into their system.
Ot of everything that surrounds uber, the interplay and economics of the taxi industry hitting the rocks is interesting to me in an economic case study.

Your example shows that a lot of businesses take advantage of credit to increase their returns but probably are never able to see where the problems are going to come from. Even ten years ago if you'd have said we would be in this situation it would have been unimaginable.

The angle most taxi sympathisers are going for is the 'poor taxi driver' angle. But in reality the taxi drivers can just switch. It's the people who are all-in on taxis who are in trouble, with their business model built around a constant amount of passenger miles which probably hasn't changed in years.

I agree with this in individual cases.

But we are talking about an economic union among states where the biggest state is quick to socialize banking losses among the poorer states, and makes it a morality play about "Those dirty Southerners".

That's a pattern that doesn't end well unless someone is smart enough to hit the partial reset button.

Not sure why you were downvoted. But in response to your query, there is always a risk of someone obtaining more than 50% of the netwrok, however with that comes cost, to attack the blockchain by misusing your 50% of the network causes as much damage to yourself as it does to anyone else. Right now if you contolled 50%+ you could double spend your coins, or perhaps you could swap a load of shares into your addresses if NASDAQ were using it to track share ownership, however if you did how long do you think it would take for them to shut down using the blockchain and use e.g. a centralised vrsion they run themselves, you then lose a lot of value in bitcoin, of which you ar emining over 50% of the daily allowance.

Yes it would be possible but it would be expensive and a very short lived way of making money. of course a nation state that wanted to get rid fo BTC would like this but for private individuals or firms there would be no incentive to under take an attack like this.
It's just about do-able, people have done studies on total de-carbonisation that would involve shifting all cars to electric or bio-based fuels for example, not just the electricity generation side of things. The big hold up is finding political will to stop subsidizing fossil fuels and let the new tech compete on a free market basis (not the free- but lets pretend externalities don't exist market), but the ball has started rolling now so things should be interesting over the next decade as public opinion and lobbyist dollars find themselves shifting more to one side.

If it's anything like London, the price of the black cab is regulated.

So, even if there is hailing via an app (Which afaik exists for some black cabs), you're still paying the regulated and more expensive fare.
The online version says for me "This is a new entry (OED Third Edition, March 2006)" for capitalised "Google", meaning "To use the Google search engine to find information on the Internet."

It also has a lower-case "google", in a cricket-related meaning, from 1933; so it has that in common with Amazon, whose meaning in the OED is still unrelated to the company.

Of the ball: to have a ‘googly’ break and swerve. Of the bowler: to bowl a googly or googlies; also (trans.), to give a googly break to (a ball).
Yes, you are. NASA is not picking one color here applying a filter to the entire image as you seem to be implying. They are doing their best with the data available from multiple instruments to determine what the color of each pixel should be. It is a lot more intricate a process than you make out.

There are some bad color filter stories from NASA (such as making Mars surface photos look more like an Earth desert with blue skies than you would actually think if you were there). But this is not a case of that.
"Please type in a whole load of other personal information" Nope! I get a good feeling of petty bureaucratic victory every time I see a site bounce in and out of Verified by Visa since I persuaded my bank to opt me out.

To that point, if NSA actually shut down tomorrow, the Baltimore/DC metro area would collapse into financial ruin. Not exaggerating.
New sites have high upfront capital costs, so even if they are losing money on each barrel they are losing less money than if they just stopped. Therefore no, output isn't the only thing that matters.

Pre-filled credit card information would be great - if it could be stored securely. PCs are basically far too insecure for this to be accepted by the payment processors, it would just be phished to death.

Apple Pay would be the right solution if it weren't so proprietary.

Back in the day people explained the USSR's superior economic performance (according to the public data at the time) as being due to the USSR not wasting resources on competition like capitalist countries did.

If you assume the planner knows the right thing to do is that's actually a perfectly valid argument. It's actually pretty heartening to see the people leading Google don't believe this about themselves, though, because people who think that usually aren't correct.

I've had good and bad Uber drivers and good and bad taxi drivers. I'm not 100% sold on Uber being better. I love being able to call a car via a mobile app and have the app handle payments but I've had really bad drivers as well. Drivers that smell bad, drivers with dirty cars, etc.. I had one driver who had only lived in the city she was driving in for a month or two (and subsequently got caught in a special-event caused traffic jam, which my friends who had a more experienced driver didn't get caught in).
The "/" is automatically added after you type the month, so you're never left with "0515". Try out the demo [1] and it should be a bit clearer.

And this is the illusion that's at the heart of The EU, that EU law can somehow contort social and economic systems to work in contradictory ways.

You're correct, unless you use a treadmill desk or you're one of those people who can't sit still and bounce around while they type (like me!). Just because you're standing doesn't mean you have to be a statue.

There's something else to consider though: lipoprotein lipase. It's generated in large amounts by your leg muscles and is used to break down fat into energy. Sitting causes a steady decrease in lipoprotein lipase production in your legs. The longer you sit, the less lipase you produce.

At that point, losing weight becomes extremely difficult and you start craving sugar for energy. There's a theory of weight management that people who don't gain body fat manage it because, throughout any given day, your insulin levels go up and down, you store a little fat then you burn a little fat. The ability of your body to switch back and forth between burning sugar and fat is called metabolic flexibility. Sitting destroys that flexibility.
Even in the UK when using payment gateways (by which I presume you mean PayPoint/Protex/WorldPay etc and you're a "merchant") you still, in many cases, need to use 3D Secure/VbV/SecureCode if you wish to remove being the liable party for fraudulent card use.
I feel less sorry for NYC taxis than in most cities -- they have had non-medallion competition for decades in the form of car services, which work much like Uber but you have to use the "phone" function of your smartphone.

Car services flourished because even today, cabs will refuse to go to Brooklyn. This was a form of "redlining" that profiled customers by race, even now that Brooklyn has added white hipsters to its ethnic and religious minorities.

So in NYC there is nothing new about this form of competition; it is only that Uber has made it more convenient.

The irony or Russian tycoon, owner of "Vodka taxi", talking about mafia, is almost palpable. (I am Russian, so I am allowed to make this kind of non-pc joke /s)

On a serious side, the experience is similar in other cities as well. My friend had to do an early AM ride from Harlem to EWR. No taxis on the street, companies she called flat out refused (and she hates to make calls). Compare it to Uber who showed up on time, was very polite, she did not have to pull out cash or credit card, did NOT charge her the full cash fare tunnel toll charge, and cost 30% less overall.

Even in Toronto where taxi drivers are generally a nicer bunch, I am regularly told that "my card machine is broken/not charged".

If taxis want to compete with Uber, at the bare minimum they should "embrace and extend" what Uber is already doing: smartphone apps, rating system, card-less and cash-less billing.
By that standard everything you literally see is not "true color". Subsampled chroma is a property of all "color" information because that's the way your eyes actually work. This is a Hobgoblin's argument. Just complain that their chroma sampling is too coarse and put the pitchforks away please.
Hey Stephen -- Honestly, it was just what I had more experience using; I always presumed Phantom is more consistent and malleable, albeit sometimes a pain to configure. You are definitely right on the simplicity aspect.

The problem is that there is no data that has shown this to be true for the types of minimum wage increases that are commonly considered.
