Smalltalk is one of those environments that I expected to see a VM image that I could deploy. I see GemStone/S has one, but SqueakNOS seems like a dead project. This looks like a cool project, but I do wish a self-hosted image (perhaps for VMWare) existed. It would make for interesting Seaside deployments.
Is there a CVE? I'm not sure I understand, and this article only serves to confuse. Consider this line, at the beginning:

> In this attack, the target would not need to goof up — open an attachment or download a file that's corrupt.

Is this line simply erroneous?
It probably could be used as-is. Some people use screen sharing tools like Teamviewer to do just that, by the way.
I'm brazillian!

There was some Nintendo market over here. Another brazillian company named CCE built the NES and sold here. It was my first video game (I was about 9).

I've had both Sega/TecToy MasterSystem III and Mega Drive (the Genesis). Super Nintendos were popular as well at the time, but as the article suggests most of cartridges were pirated ones.

Playstation 1 was another crazy thing in Brazil. I have never seen an original PS1 CD. I've bought the console and the store gave me 15 pirated CDs of my choice by the time. For R$10,00 (roughly $20,00 USD by the time) it was possible to buy three Playstation 1 games. It was nearly impossible to find original Playstation games though.
No, it doesn't. Don't you know that groups of people can have different opinions and still clearly communicate these opinions, proportionally to how they are distributed in the group? That's one of the basic building blocks of modern societies, starting with the whole concept of democracy.
They had Windows and OSX apps, as well as an iOS app. Onlive started in a time before browsers had the features needed to make this possible.
We had a dependency limitation where an SDK we relied on only had an x86 release while our software ran (necessarily) as x64. I was quite proud of myself when I wrote (in a relatively short period of time) an IPC-based (memory mapped files) solution to communicate between the two seamlessly (performance mattered, as we were doing real-time imaging). It felt like a problem that some of my co-workers would have just given up on and said "it's not possible". Might not have been the "toughest", but in terms of time/difficulty trade-off, it ranks up there. Perhaps it would be trivial for others.

Of course, the real solution would be to press the dependency provider to release an x64 version, but we were not a priority of theirs.

But since interpolation is subjective it may lead to incorrect interpretations of the image that are different from the artists' intentions.

It's easier to draw a cartoon then to paint the mona lisa. I respect detail and high resolution artistry more than sketching cartoons due to the higher amount of skill required to pull it off. One screw up in a super high detailed painting and you could end up in the uncanny valley.

Either way, lots of respect for both forms of art.

It's not that China lacks brands, but that it lacks globally aspirational brands. Here's the problem in reverse: do non-Chinese aspire to buy Chinese-designed goods? It has even become increasingly unfashionable in China to wear knock-offs, making the demand for foreign luxury goods even greater. Of course only the elite can afford these items, but when the poor and middle class of today become the elites of tomorrow, what will be any different for them?

I'm slightly more skeptical about EmDrive than optimistic, however, you are right: if someone has to distort the truth in order to make a point it might be time that they question their standpoint on a matter. This looks like a lot of opinions about science. Which is a logical contradiction. An opinion has absolutely no sway in determining whether or not the device works. Opinions have nothing to do with science.

The device will either be shown to work or not to work with additional experiments and nothing anyone says regarding how it can or can't work will change that.

Autonomous trucks: Daimler seeks licence for road tests
Great perspective on how big Starbucks actually is.
Yes: ANSI "CL 2.4.6 Backquote" does say that constructed copies might share structure with the template. However sharing can only take place where it is rationally possible. If I say that you're permitted to levitate, that doesn't mean you can.

If an evaluation of a backquote produces (1 2 3) and another evaluation of the same backquote produces (1 4 5), and no destructive splicing operators are used, these outputs cannot share list structure with each other or the template. This is because none of their corresponding structural parts are similar under any equality function.

How about if the substitutions are the same? Can we have (eq (mloc x y) (mloc x y))? I'm afraid not; for that to work for any x y pair, the function would have to be memoized. I don't know of any Lisp that automatically memoizes functions. (That would be a bad idea to do for any functions for which the programmer didn't explicitly request memoization.)

It could be done in situations when x and y are constants, like (mloc 'a 1), through a combination of aggressive inlining and backquote optimization. For that to work, backquote would have to be expanded after function inlining (a very curious architecture, indeed) so that the effects of propagation of the constants from the call sites into the function body would be visible to the backquote expander. Many CL implementations of backquote expand it at read time. Those which do it later have a backquote macro, which gets fully processed before any compilation takes place where inlining code transformations may happen.

I don't think that such liberties are implied by 2.4.6. The obvious intent is that pieces of the template structure, in particular tails of lists at any level, can be used like constants. The outputs of multiple evaluations of `(,arg a b c) can obviously share the (a b c) part. They cannot share the ,arg part, unless arg has the shape of a constant visible to backquote like for instance 'whatever. That is to say, `(,'X a b c) can be transformed by backquote into (QUOTE (X A B C)): backquote can recognize the ,(QUOTE X) and treat it as if it were X.
If you're passive, it means that you don't have any opinions that you want to fight for and you are OK with other people making the decision.

Ultimately, if a loved one's life could be saved by an organ donation, I would want it to be, and therefore I cannot ethically and logically not be on the organ donation list myself. Any other conclusion is, to my mind, selfish and antithetical to the society I want to live in. So it's really as simple as that.

I understand fears such as your own from a human point of view, and they should absolutely be addressed if they're stopping people from becoming organ donors, but I do think it's unfortunate. So many lives could be saved... Hopefully more and more countries will adopt an 'opt-out' system going forward, because it seems to make a huge difference.

My biggest concern with this open letter is that it acknowledges that the way to avoid having (currently weak) AI in army requires considering humans to be expandable.

Those humans are both more intelligent than the equivalent AI, and more prone to error. They will stay better at murder (accidental and otherwise) while AI will slowly become better at risk assessment, avoiding unnecessary deaths. While humans will still get PTSD, war machines will only rely on analysis (and human orders).

This is my big irk: Shirking liability. Google, and it's fans, spend a lot of time blaming everyone else for the problem. It's the OEM's fault, or it's the carrier's fault. It's dozens of other companies fault that Android is insecure. But nobody wants to hold Google liable for developing a platform that they distribute in a manner that is completely insecure.

Google sets the terms by which it does business with OEMs. And yet, they've never been held to blame for the bad experience that users get due to this model. Google uses these terms to protect it's monopoly dominance, by mandating OEMs install 20 or so proprietary Google apps, but not to do anything really valuable to the customer, like mandating a security patching methodology.

> The Chinese economy is huge, and as a nation it is undervalued, but there is no way for these stocks to actually provide coverage to that portion of the Chinese economy.

If the growth is outside official channels and unable to be reported on a scale of 50%, "bringing it into the light" would likely cause a major recession/depression all in of itself.

It functions because its unregulated, untaxed and its margins are improved by hiding. Once you add those additional expenses, alot of that business will crash.

Credit Suisse had some hard data to put the number at 30%. I can't find the actual study, but here's an article on it -- http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2010-08-12/china-s-we...

However, as Rein points out, Credit Suisse and almost all other studies of the Chinese Underground Economy, are only capturing data about Urban hidden capital. It is a commonly understood fact in China, if not quantifiable, that most rural families keep their money in cash, and are very quiet about the quantity of said money.

What is your point? Do these wars/genocides not matter because they did not take place in the "developed world"? That war time deaths attributable to anything beyond death on the battlefield do not count? Are you saying civil wars don't count, because the US lost as many soldiers in our civil war as all other US wars combined...or is it as you point out that civil wars in the Congo don't count?

If like you say "essentially everybody" has heard of these wars/genocides, then I stand corrected the great human tragedy is not that we are ignorant of what is happening in the world but apparently that we should only concern ourselves with deaths/wars/genocides in the "developed world".

Edit: > I don't recall any other genocides in the developed world since 1950.

How about the ingeniousness populations in Brazil, 2 of which I am aware are on the brink of extinction in the last 30 years. Yet, despite being a world top 10 economy, you/some may say Brazil is not part of the developed world, or highlight these genocides are not driven by war so much as "progress"; therefore, you may not consider these genocides.
Sick and I don't feel the best are different things. Sick I need to stop and rest, I don't feel the best could be I didn't sleep much the night before or I could be coming down with something. Neither of the latter requires me to stop working, causing work to pile up for myself and others on the team. I do however, have the option of playing it safe and trying not to infect others while also not causing a back log of work.

Forcing a sick day because I woke up with a headache and a sore throat that could be nothing is not going to endear the company to an employee, on the otherhand that same situation that turns out to be something but I have to come in because I'm not sick yet is prettyshitty to everyone else you come in contact with. In both cases, working from home is the safe course of action.

Now, where I work, that option is fully supported. I, and basically every full time employee, has a vpn and a ip phone. There is nothing about my job that requires physical presence in the office on a normal day, and with the team spread out accross the US anyway, my being in the office or remote really are the same thing as far as everyone else is concerned. I can work from home (doing it right now) simply because I felt like it that day.

> Shouldn't adults be able to be honest about how many sick days they need

Yep, but I'm talking about when you're not sick, but you feel like you might be coming down with something, or you're feeling like you're over it but we all know you're probably still infectious. A fully supported working from home environment allows you to be far more conciderate to those you work with. Hell you can also get more rest, since that appears to be what many are hung up on, because you no longer have a commute those days, but still get stuff done because you don't feel like you're dying.
As I answered in our blog:
That’s a good observation. The point is that various data has come from various data sources, that can be influenced by many factors. When we got some data on the same topic from different sources, we were trying to get some average. Actually various data sources gives slightly different numbers with inaccuracy up to 4-7% for each of these questions. For example for platform distribution we saw 40/50/10 variant (however the order was the same for all the options), and 39/44/17 is a average across all the sources given platform distribution numbers.
Compiler stat is more accurate across various resources, however we suspect that all-platforms compiler distribution was mostly measured across cross-platform projects, that means less percent for the Visual C++ compiler (and that’s the reason we include the Windows stat separately from the all platforms stat here).
It seems to me that the prize model really could work in areas where there's a lot of value snagged up in existing knowledge we already have and the prize-givers want to shake out that value in the form of good applications. I think this works for DARPA because DARPA these days seems to want deliverables that are in this vein. The prize model can also work well in a situation where the prize-giver wants the results to enter the public domain or be cheaply available to the public.

I don't think this could work to fund blue sky research, though. It's asking for too much risk to be assumed by a researcher who probably doesn't have the resources to justify these kinds of attempts.
I'm pretty sure the Sega Genesis also beat the SNES by a large margin here in Argentina too. At least i grew up with a Genesis and knew a lot of people who had one, while i only knew of one person who owned a SNES[1].

One of the possible reasons for this is that there were cheap pirated Genesis games available[2], which, i think, SNES games were much more expensive, probably not pirated.

[1]: The graphics and fluidity of Donkey Kong Country on that console were mesmerizing for a Genesis player though :D. But for some reason i always preferred the Genesis sounds and music. And, of course, Sonic The Hedgehog!

[2]: I actually didn't know about this till not too long ago. I always thought my Sega games were original! But learning about this explained why "save slots" didn't work on any game (the pirated cartridges didn't have a persistent writable memory).
