Obviously, we are moving more towards NewSpeak. It seems nobody reads the classics anymore and the same evil mistakes are getting prevalent again.

Orwell was wrong*. People want to be shitty to each other and will always find a way to insult people. The notion that communication is alone words that can be controlled is actually absurd. The only thing to truly stop people is for there to be dictators at the top who can murder anyone below them for any reason, real or imagined. If NewSpeak were merely a distraction designed to encumber people to much to actual rebel because they're too busy trying to appear acceptable, then just about any sufficiently complex ritual would fill its place.

* Strictly speaking, 1984 limited its system of NewSpeak to those politically connected, just like political correctness. One could argue in that regard it succeeded as the media regularly functions like Big Brother to chastise those members who fail to use the "correct" words or in implication use words meant to be neutral pejoratively. The reality is words are used ambiguously precisely to mean different things to different people and Big Brother/media isn't so pervasive to prevent private meetings where people can't open up about their real feelings. Even when scandal does erupt when the truth is known, little often happens as those involved have the inertia to often weather the scandal and move on.

Without commenting on the people of OFAC, taking Noam Chomsky's explanation of standing for freedom of speech precisely for views one doesn't like (seen in context in the movie Manufacturing Consent where Chomsky defends Robert Faurrison's freedom of speech while not supporting his thesis—the segment begins around 2h24m21s and Chomsky's concise response about freedom of speech to a questioner is at 2h10m52s), I'm reminded that Cloudflare is the organization that also switched from a position that was content-neutral to picking and choosing whom to do business with based on what Cloudflare was caching. Torrentfreak.com covered this in an article concerning Cloudflare "kicking off" the Daily Stormer from their service according to Cloudflare CEO Matthew Prince: "I woke up this morning in a bad mood and decided to kick them off the Internet." he claimed. This was a radical shift in policy from what Prince claimed about Cloudflare just a few weeks prior, "Even if it were able to, Cloudflare does not monitor, evaluate, judge or store content appearing on a third party website" and "We're the plumbers of the internet. We make the pipes work but it's not right for us to inspect what is or isn't going through the pipes". So apparently Cloudflare was able do precisely what he said it could not do, and Cloudflare did in fact make such evaluations even while Prince apparently misrepresented these facts to the public.

That was 9 years after I designed the iSphere and an article about it...

Uh...what part of "-style chat interface" did you not get? They didn't say it was IRC full stop, they said it's a chat interface in a similar style to IRC. Does storage and forwarding of messages and files while you're offline require a full web client and server packaged together as client software? Does voice chat? Does a membership and permissions system require that? None of what you're saying addresses the complaint being made regarding extreme resource usage for relatively simple software.

Remember that Skype supported chat, voice, and offline messaging even in the mid-2000s. It was built to work even on old Windows 2000 machines and in 2005 when even cheaper new machines were shipping with 512MB standard, it required that the machine have a minimum of 128MB of RAM for Skype plus the entire OS and other running software. Meanwhile, the post you responded to complained about multiple GB of RAM used by Slack a single application that doesn't do very much more than Skype from 2005 did and offers a proprietary system only instead of a universal standard like IRC or XMPP.

Senator, I did not—I was not involved and am not involved in the questions about the rules governing detention of combatants or—and so I do not have the involvement with that.

NPR, 2007:

Kavanaugh used to clerk for the Supreme Court's swing voter, Justice Anthony Kennedy, and he advised the White House lawyers at that meeting that Kennedy would probably reject the President's claim that American combatants could be denied access to a lawyer.

Well, so apparently he's perfectly capable of lying when he shouldn't be lying.

we have immigration enforcement for a reason. Deport both when the spouse is caught.

You are exactly right. The sooner that the Justice Democrats which you constantly advocate for stop their campaign to dismantle ICE, the better. It's hard to take them seriously as a viable party when they take these kind of moronic positions.

They should move to Canada as we have an exemption for archives which would allow the content to remain.

Wouldn't work.

The USA has an exemption for archives and libraries, of which the Internet Archive is a legally registered one of, and they also are named explicitly in an exemption to the DMCA when it comes to software.

https://archive.org/post/82097/internet-archive-helps-secure-exemption-to-the-digital-millennium-copyright-act

To sue the Internet Archive for violating a law, where the law explicitly names the Internet Archive as exempt, takes some serious balls.
I can't see how it would be that costly to simply point at their name in the law they are accused of breaking, where it states they are exempt from that very law.

The fact they aren't even using that exemption to the law here means they wouldn't do any different in Canada.

Eventually these things become history and are lost to current though until somebody digs through the archives to rediscover the truth. Except now we can make it go away with a keypress and, poof, we've always been at war with Eurasia.

There is more of an immediate need, since the ability to stealth edit a story after publishing it is too great a temptation to resist. There's been too many examples of 'reputable' news sources getting caught red handed doing this.

Anyway, an archive source that is subject to the hideously malformed DMCA is hardly an archive source at all.

But I increasingly suspect that you knew exactly what you were doing...

Hmm, I found this article that references the 70% number, which also points to "figures from CBS:"
https://web.archive.org/web/20...

...but I couldn't find any such figures in their data that you linked. Maybe my search terms are just off or not politically correct enough, but why can't people ever cite their sources? Geez.

First 1200 mile round trip: Supercharged on the road for about 50 minutes more than gas station breaks. Second supercharge, a 300 mile round trip, 15 minutes just for peace of mind. Third trip recently, outbound no additional time, just 15 minutes supercharge. Return trip, no destination charger where I stayed, so took 30 minutes more than gas. Total extra 105 minutes on road trip vs saving 520 minutes a year on local driving.

First of all, your writing is atrocious.
Where did you steal the $55k to buy a Tesla Model3?
You come across as a burger flipper at McDonalds.

Tesla Model 3 LR (75 kWh) is a 200 mile range EV.
edmunds.com long term Model 3 June/2018 update(geo blocked outside the US, use your search engine cached page or try archives like this).
edmunds.com long term Model3 had mileage between 29.5 kWh/100miles to 36.8 kWh/100miles.
Model3 LR 75 kWh battery can reliably get 200 miles range, any more you're playing Russian roulette with dead battery.

Your 1200 mile trip in your Model3 required as much as 6 full recharges.
That's an extra 6 hours (360 minutes) at the Superchargers. (120 kW charge rate is bullshit in reality most of the time because there's going to be another guy sharing your charger, so you're down to 60 kW charge rate. Plus you need a full charge, and the Supercharger trickles down after the battery reach half charge).
But wait there's more, Superchargers are not going to be right off the freeway like gas stations, so you're diverting say 6x30=180 minutes just to access a supercharger.
360+180=540 minutes>520 minutes.
In one 1200 mile trip, you wiped out all your 520 minutes saved during the year.

Zoo keeper mauled to death 'after defecating on tiger'

A young Chinese tiger keeper has been mauled to death after apparently trying to defecate on one of his big cats.

The 19-year-old appears to have climbed the railings of the Bengal tiger cage and pulled his trousers down.

Evidence at the scene of the death at the Jinan animal park included toilet paper, excrement and a trouser belt.

Zoo officials think Xu Xiaodong either slipped into the cage or was pulled in by one of the four angry tigers.

According to the South China Morning Post, the man told a co-worker he needed to go to the toilet but police were called when he failed to return.

They found his body lying on the ground surrounded by tigers. The teenager had reportedly been bitten in the neck and was covered in blood.

Police believe Xu climbed the wall of a partially constructed building used to raise the tigers to relieve himself. They said the smell probably caused the tigers to pounce.

I wrote this back in 2000, regarding my iced tea.

https://web.archive.org/web/20...

Iâ(TM)m sick and fucking tired of pansy-ass punk waiters refilling my tea before Iâ(TM)m ready for a refill. If I told you once, I told you a million times to stop fucking with my Equal-ibrium. I get that perfect balance, that perfect ratio of tea to sweetener and you come along and screw it up. I find that sweet spot and you take a shit in my glass. I want to kill you.

Itâ(TM)s not easy to get that perfection in the glass. Sometimes it can take a good five to ten minutes to let the ice melt just a little so the tea hits itâ(TM)s plateau. Then it takes a few more adding the Equal until I get that taste I like. So I spent some 15 minutes perfecting this glass on my table, and damn, itâ(TM)s good. Iâ(TM)m thinking about how well itâ(TM)s going to work with the bread and the spaghetti. Itâ(TM)s gonna be fucking awesome.

So I have a couple of drinks, closing my eyes and just whisking by on the magic carpet that is a perfect glass of tea.

Then you come up and start pouring first, and then ask, âoeMore tea, sir?â

âoeFuck no,â I reply. Now since youâ(TM)re already pouring you gonna realize that somethingâ(TM)s up.

But when I stand up and smash your head with my fists you gonna be thinking you shouldnâ(TM)t have topped off my glass.

As I poke our your eyes you gonna wish you ainâ(TM)t never seem me or my glass of tea.

As I cut out your tongue you gonna wish you never asked to take my order.

As I gouge your stomach with my fork you gonna be thinking you shouldnâ(TM)t have had that bagel for breakfast. They ainâ(TM)t as good as people make them up to be.

As I come back from my car with the chainsaw and start dismembering your body you gonna wish you never worked this dead-end job in the first place. Ainâ(TM)t no living making minimum wage.

And when I finally douse your corpse with gasoline, right there in the dining area, and light it up you ainâ(TM)t gonna be wishing or thinking anything. Cause youâ(TM)ll be dead, you sorry-ass tea-refilling mother-fucker.

Itâ(TM)ll be worth going back to prison. In the joint you refill you own glass. And thatâ(TM)s the way it should be.

And as your, quote, "silly scenario" made clear, that's irrelevant in a person's daily life. In one's daily life, EVs save a great amount of time by not requiring you to regularly detour to a gas station and pay out the nose for the privilege of standing outside in whatever weather to pump carcinogens into a tank.

Too bad I wasn't the guy that posted that.
Since when is distance driving "irrelevant"?
200 mile range EV is just incapable of realistic distance driving unless you can tolerate 50% increase in transit time.

But seriously

Hahahahahhahaahahaaha!!!!!

Look at the cached pages on your search results.
For example, edmunds.com long term Model 3 (I'm not sure if these guys were "Bo" or another anonymous coward "Swedish-American") for June/2018(here's a webpage snapshot) listed their Model 3 test car mileage as between 29.5 kWh/100miles to 36.8 kWh/100miles....that makes the Tesla Model 3 LR a ~200mile range car.

The 3.5 hour drive/1.0 hour recharge was edmunds.com LA to NY cross country test drive.(here's a webpage snapshot).
The main numbers are total driving time 52h41m, total charging time 14h40m.
This 3.5 hours results from a trip that goes from superchargers to superchargers along the entire route without side trips.
A real road trip you'd be diverting 10-20miles or more per leg just to get to a supercharging station.
Even worse, edmunds.com only charged enough to get to the next supercharger.
In a real road trip, you'd have to charge even longer to have extra battery reserve to drive around scenery/attractions.
Real world, you're looking at ~120miles then a 1 hour recharge so you can drive for another 120 miles with usage reserve/emergency.

By the way, I have two vehicles, one of which is a pickup truck which has been in the shop for much of a month

What model is your pickup? Toyota?
If you can't get Toyota parts in Iceland, what are your chances with Tesla parts?

I suspect that fusion power is much closer than most believe; there are a number of promising approaches that are progressing well and nearing demonstration. The Polywell is one of the more interesting ones.

Tokamaks should have been abandoned long ago; they are low-pressure devices that must be built at enormous scale to function, making them an economic dead end. We need something to replace fossil generators that can be plugged into existing grids, not monstrously huge and complex devices that can't even be financed, and must be constructed on site. Even advanced fission reactors are targeting smaller sizes.

Magnetic cusp confinement works well, under the right conditions. The Polywell enables stable confinement of a high pressure plasma, allowing them to be built at manageable sizes. See this 2018 presentation by Park for specifics.

Scaling up ITER may work, but there is nothing exciting about it; it is more of a horror to contemplate the wasted expense. The physics prevents tokamaks from being built at sizes which can be financed and integrated into existing grids, so they are an economic dead end. That funding should be redirected to other efforts which at least have the potential to be useful one day.

According to this guy success at any cost isn't driving apple any more.

> For mothers and mothers-in-law, I recommend mid-level color laser printers.

As someone who has BOTH a color laser printer and inkjet I'll second that.

Canon's color laser printer, the imageCLASS LBP612CDW at $184, is more then "good enough" for most people.

From 3+ feet away you probably can't tell the difference between an inkjet and color laser on "natural" images. (i.e. non test patterns.) But closer then 3 feet and you start to notice the flaws of color laser printers -- especially gradients that have artifacts. If you are printing portraits or HDR photography then the inkjet produces the superior quality -- no contest.

i.e. One of the many standard "litmus test images" are the ones listed on the defunct Outback Print such as this PrinterEvaluationImage_V002_aRGB.jpg

> NO REASON TO OWN A DAMNED DYE-BASED PRINTER

For 99% of people, yeah, they probably don't need their own inkjet but for the other 1% I wouldn't agree with that statement at all.

e.g. If you have a 10-bit/channel color monitor then you probably care about color consistency / correction across the entire pipeline. Especially with Canon's printers having 8, 10, and 12 ink systems now.

It all depends on the quality you want and at what price point.

> I have been told laser printers make inferior picture prints.

As someone who has BOTH a color laser printer and inkjet that is indeed TRUE.

* Laser printers are awesome for text but OK for photographs,
* Inkjet printers are OK for text (slightly blurry) but phenomenal for portraits, and HDR photographs.

One of the many standard "litmus test images" are the ones listed on the defunct Outback Print

From 3+ feet away you can't tell the difference between an inkjet and color laser on "natural" images. (i.e. non test patterns.) But closer then 3 feet and you start to notice the flaws of color laser printers -- especially gradients that have artifacts. Not Mach Banding but error dot diffusion patterns due to the small size of toner color laser printers basically "print" in a halftone pattern.

> I doubt professional industry-grade printing firms print their photos on inkjet printers.

That's because they care more about cost then quality.

> see no reason why laser printer pigments would have to be inferior.

I take it you don't do much (any?) printing of HDR photos. Here is a primer (pardon the pun.)

First, color laser printers only have the standard 4 color CYMK toners. This means the gamut is not quite as large as inkjets's dyes and pigments.

Second, in Canon printers the large black "PGI" cartridge are pigments which is used when printing text. The remaining color tanks may be dye based inks which tend to have smaller particles than the pigment based inks. See Canon PGI vs CLI for more details.

Third, inkjets tend to have more dyes then just the standard 4 color CYMK inks. For example, the Canon Pixma PRO-1 is a 12 pigment system. Why 12?

5 are dedicated for black and white printing:
* LGY (Light Gray)
* GY (Grey)
* DGY (Dark Grey)
* MBK (Matte Black)
* PBK (Photo Black)

Remaining 7 are for colors:
* C (Cyan)
* Y (Yellow)
* M (Magenta)
* R (Red)
* PC (Photo Cyan)
* PM (Phtoto Magenta)
* CO (Chroma Optimizer)

If you want the best quality the type of printer inkjet vs color laser matters due to printing technology. i.e. For every day use a color laser printer is more then good enough but if you want quality portraits nothing beats an inkjet.

She didn't lie, the results are out. Shes 1/32 to 1/512 Native American. ... Depending on how you read the results.

DNA counselors sounds like a terrible idea. I don't trust them to get it right for right reasons or wrong reasons.

Fauxcahontas speak with forked tongue:

Meanwhile, the Globe has also obtained a portion of Warren’s 1973 application to Rutgers, where she attended law school. That document specifically asks: “Are you interested in applying for admission under the Program for Minority Group Students?’’ Warren answered “no.’’

In addition, a newly unearthed University of Texas personnel document shows that Warren listed herself as “white’’ when she taught at the law school there from 1981 to 1991.

Hell, The Boston Globe even admits there's no evidence that Warren is 1/32 Cherokee - like she used to claim, until it was debunked.

And is almost certainly the box Fauxcahontas checked to get listed as a "Native American" at Harvard

Note well: "A person having origins in any of the original peoples of North America and maintains cultural identification through tribal affiliation or community recognition"

Even if Fauxcahontas is 1/32 Native American, she never "maintain[ed] cultural identification through tribal affiliation or community recognition".

No matter how you put it, she LIED to game the racial preference system.

You would be surprised. One early instance of this problem appeared when searching "jew" on Google led to an anti-semitic website.
Here is an explanation, straight from Google in 2004 https://web.archive.org/web/20...

The relevant part

If you use Google to search for "Judaism," "Jewish" or "Jewish people," the results are informative and relevant. So why is a search for "Jew" different? One reason is that the word "Jew" is often used in an anti-Semitic context. Jewish organizations are more likely to use the word "Jewish" when talking about members of their faith.

Interestingly, Google refused to fix the results and most people understood the issue were fine with it, even the Anti-Defamation League. The ADL later contacted Google in order to find a solution that didn't involve censorship. IIRC the issue ended up being fixed with a Google bomb. People massively linked the word "jew" to the corresponding Wikipedia article, and it worked.

False. The first demo video of Minecraft was posted May 13, 2009. Infiminer source was released May 16, 2009. Obviously Notch had been working on his code for at least a few weeks before then. As you can probably tell, 16 is greater than 13.

Unfortunately that video, "Cave game tech test" by Nizzoch (F9t3FREAZ-k) is "not available in your country". This and this seem to be re-posted copies of it. I can't watch the original via Hooktube, but at least the date and description shows:

This is a very early test of an Infiniminer clone I'm working on. It will have more resource management and materials, if I ever get around to finishing it.

It currently runs at about 700 fps for a 256x256x64 tile map.

Unless you think inserting random words in human authored Mad Libs is "writing".

The supposed "computer generated novel" was actually produced by a program that just substituted words into a set of frameworks prepared by the program's author. To quote the reviewer "None of the long pieces in the book could have been produced except by using elaborate boilerplate templates that are *not* included in the commercially available release of Racter. Nor does the Inrac language include any sort of 'syntax directive' powerful enough to string words together into a form like the published stories."

The actual apparent creativity and absurdity of the prose was entirely the authorship of William Chamberlain, the guy wrote and sold the program "Racter" and wrote all of the frameworks that was the basis of the "prose".

That's because 86-DOS started out as a way to port 8080/Z-80 CP/M applications to the 8086. CP/M compatibility was a primary goal, but the OS itself was never intended to be a CP/M clone.

This is a *really* unusual hot take. You've been misinformed. Occupy always had a leftist bent; I was extremely skeptical about the whole thing from day one. Occupy never really transcended my doubts, as the state and capital were ultimately able to recuperate insurgent sentiment. It's notable that recuperation works where direct physical intervention fails, though the state was generally savvy enough to use a combination of tactics, by avoiding intervention during during the height of Occupy, and waiting to attack until it had begun to wane. Anyway, in some places the reified identity politicians from the general assemblies were successfully challenged, and insurrectionary interlocutors were able to maintain temporary autonomous zones, as well as attack not just symbols of capital, but the ability of the state to maintain the flow of capital. Which is to say that you've got it exactly backward. Your source, BTW, manages to display *more* ressentiment (in the Nietzschean sense) than any SJW I've ever met.
