Re: Lame,,,
Some of the more interesting ww2 related crypto news is at this blog
"Christos military and intelligence corner"
http://www.chris-intel-corner....
The blog has offered some great insight into what Germany could break wrt US and UK codes.
What other nations did to Germany and other nations experts helped Germany gain some interesting insights into US and UK mil thinking.
A lot of the low and mid level codes where junk and its nice to see some new info beyond the usual Enigma like efforts. -

2 C is a fantasy
I hate to say it, but we're too late for 2 C. Even if we call a halt to CO2 emissions, the gas already in the atmosphere is likely to carry us up and over. To make matters worse, the carbon capture technologies coal plants were supposed to get don't work as well as advertised. Even if we do hold to 2 C, btw, we are going to have long term sea level rise.
Global warming at this point is inevitable. Even probably 5 C warming. Some are arguing 8 C by the end of the century. However, its not the end of the world. Just a radically different one.
(yeah I've been following this very closely for over a decade)
Amusingly, coccolithophores, the calcium shelled plankton, everyone has been really worried would be seriously impacted by the rise in carbon dioxide causing oceanic acidification actually grow MORE in raised CO2 environments. -

Re:String Theorists Are Not Physicists
I would also add "Dark Matter" and "Dark Energy" are the aether of the 21st century.
Dark matter is a highly scientific and technical term that means "We don't know"
Seriously.
Why is nonsense like this modded insightful?
If we "don't know", then dark matter and the theories around it would make no useful predictions. But seeing how they do make predictions, are backed by observations, and have so far held up to scrutiny then your claim of "fancy term for we don't know" doesn't hold a lot of water.
How about you toddle off to your local college/university and dig up a few research articles on the subject. There is a whole lot more to dark matter than what you've been exposed to on Slashdot.
While I respect your right to reject it, There are many things that we do not know for certain. And whether you like ot or not, The real physicists will tell you exctly what I wrote.
http://physicsandphysicists.bl...
Here http://science.howstuffworks.c...
Here http://www.space.com/20930-dar...
and a slew of other places.
Because the only way you can call it nonsense with any degree of veracity is to in the following sentence explain exactly what dark matter is.
"Dark Matter" is merely a couple words that are used to describe the effects of something that is having an action that is observable, but not explicitly known as to exactly what it is.
Is it neutrinos? Maybe. Is it some other particle as yet unknown? Possible. Is it cosmic silly string? Not likely, but possibly.
What we do know is that there is something going on that is difficult to explain using current cosmology. Since we do not know what that is, but do know that something is going on, we come up with a term.
And "dark matter" is that term.

Re:Trump is a troll
"Make it about “political correctness run amok”: For instance, you might open the article with the transgender students’ protesting the Person of Stature’s University talk. But then you will pan back and show that this is but one instance among many in a much larger and disturbing trend sweeping the nation—aka, “political correctness running amok.” (I am not sure why political correctness is always “running amok” as opposed to other synonymous phrases, but just roll with it.) And at this point, you can simply provide readers with a laundry list of seemingly similar incidents of activists and minority groups taking things way too far with their “political correctness” and “censorship.” For examples of this laundry-list approach, see recent high profile pieces by Jonathan Chait, Michelle Goldberg, and Caitlin Flanagan (there are countless others—The Atlantic alone seems to be churning out one or two of these per month!). The benefit of this approach is that you don’t have to go too in depth about any specific issue (e.g., interviewing all the parties involved, accurately conveying their differing perspectives, etc.)—you can just hastily depict all of them as being outrageous. Additionally, this allows you to conflate some potentially legitimate issues (e.g., protests of the Person of Stature) with a bunch of random mean things that random people (who have no stature) have said on Twitter." https://medium.com/@juliaseran...

Re:Untestable?
If String Theory makes no testable predictions, then why was I just reading this, over at AAAS? FTA:
Working with a few lasers and mirrors, physicists at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab) in Batavia, Illinois, have been trying to test a wild idea from string theory: that our universe may be like an enormous hologram.
Maybe because that experiment has nothing to do with any theory at all.

Re:Another reason to ban rifles

Re:Another reason to ban rifles
Your risk assessment is completely backwards. The US government makes it pretty difficult to find out exactly how many people the cops shoot each year, but it's a lot: in 2011, it was 1,146. American cops shot more people in *one year* than all mass shootings combined *in that decade*.

In terms of saving lives, forbidding cops from carrying guns would be the most effective form of gun control we could institute.

Re:Untrue according to the study
What's utterly fascinating is that the brains of transgender people look like and work like the gender they self-report. It's consistent with the early onset and fixity of their gender identity if it's confirmed to be a brain setting.

Re:Stop Hazing Us
Tech is 90% male, for entirely social reasons, doesn't that indicate some kind of problem?
(1) Where do you get the 90% figure from? The tech company Google, for example, is approximately 70% male. See
https://googleblog.blogspot.com/2014/05/getting-to-work-on-diversity-at-google.html
(2) Please provide evidence that the sex ratio in tech is caused by "entirely social reasons". I have not seen conclusive evidence on either side of the nature-versus-nuture debate, but there is evidence that at least some of the preferences stereotypically assigned to men and women have biological origins. For example, see
http://www.livescience.com/22677-girls-dolls-boys-toy-trucks.html
(3) I think that you skipped a few steps in your logical argument when you jumped to the conclusion that there is "some kind of problem". Please describe the problem in greater detail and explain how the problem is related to claims (1) and (2).

Re:Please don't use the word "piracy"
http://copyrightsandcampaigns.... "Which got me thinking: where does the use of "piracy" to refer to copyright infringement come from? Was the term appropriated from the "ay, matey" pirates in a secret 1999 meeting of RIAA flacks, as they girded for battle with Napster? Hardly. When I started looking into it, I was somewhat surprised to learn that "piracy" has been used as a synonym (or near-synonym) for copyright infringement for about 350 years. In his exhaustive etymological study of the terms "piracy" and "intellectual property," Professor Justin Hughes of Cardozo Law School traces the equation of "piracy" with infringement to an English bishop named John Fell, who lived 1625-1686."

The True Problem With Commercial Space
As the person credited for the first law commercializing space launch services (credited by the law's sponsor, Ron Packard during his introduction of my Congressional testimony on space commercialization) there truly _is_ a problem with privatized space and it is a capital market failure.
This capital market failure systemically suppresses technology investment and it derives from something that should be obvious to anyone in venture finance:
Economic activity is taxed rather than liquidation value of net assets.
A venture financier, or angle, or anyone else who takes dollars out of a bank account and puts it into a high risk venture, is rendering their capital illiquid. If you cease taxing economic activity (income, capital gains, sales, value added, inheritance, gifts, etc.) and instead tax only the liquidation value of net assets, for all practical purposes high risk investments cease being taxed.
This is why, the year after I testified before Congress on the initial legislative direction for companies like SpaceX, I wrote a white paper titled "A Net Asset Tax Based On The Net Present Value Calculation and Market Democracy" wherein I proposed a shift away from centralized government provision of technology development and, at the same time, a shift away from politically biased government delivery of social goods (ie: the welfare state), by taxing net assets at the rate of interest on the national debt and distributing tax revenues as an unconditional citizen's dividend. Later I clarified the assessment mechanism to be liquidation value as well as some of the further aspects of government to be privatized.
Its obvious why so-called "liberals" don't want this since by-passing the welfare state without regard to any politically defined criteria other than citizenship, it would gut their political base.
Conservatives, in particular neo-libertarians of the Austrian School, on the other hand, have much to answer for here. A net asset tax, so assessed, is a big step toward the anarchocapitalism of the American school of libertarian thought exemplified by Lysander Spooner in his definition of "legitimate government" as "a mutual insurance company". Protecting property rights is according to the American school of libertarian philosophy (as contrasted with the Austrian school), the primary role of government and it is entirely legitimate to charge for that service just as it is legitimate for a property insurance company to charge a premium that is approximately proportional to the value of the property being underwritten. Moreover, it is entirely legitimate for any company to pay dividends and a mutual company would pay dividends to its members -- members who, quite reasonably, could be called on for service in times of emergency such as war and could, therefore, quite reasonably be assigned one share and exactly one share each.
Indeed, I view it as a moral responsibility for men like Bill Gates, Warren Buffett and Mark Zuckerberg -- particularly as beneficiaries of network externalities aka network effects that could not exist in the absence of government protection of those monopolistic property rights -- to at the very least lend their vocal, if not material, support to such a capital reform.
It would be smart for risk investors like Elon Musk to do so.

Re:A really effective response
That's what you get when you try to ban information, which is what is going on here. They want to prevent the average Joe SixPack from being able to press "Print" and have a small armory. The only problem is with the right amount of effort, he could do the same thing the old fashioned way AND get better weaponry. (Most 3D printed guns still have a durability problem. I think you still have to get the barrel from normal manufacturing processes to make anything that lasts.)
The problem here is 3D printing allows those who can't (lack of intelligence, time, etc.) produce guns the old fashioned way to produce them. If even one gets made and manages to hurt or kill someone, government heads would roll until something was "done". So this is Australia "doing" something about it. Even if it's pointless, creates a false sense of security, and effectively creates a way to criminalize someone with little / no effort. (Hey, bet there's not an exception in the law for a victim of an Evil Maid.)
This is pointless the problems in society will still get their hands on 3D printed guns just as easily as they do now. (As others, and you, have already pointed out.) The real highlight for the story is: Australia has decided to stick it's collective head in the sand instead of actually figuring out why individuals in their society would want to get a gun to kill someone, and actually address that issue, So the gun is no longer needed. But hey, preserving mental insanity and public fear is more important than any real protection of the public right?

Re:This is the only answer that matters
Well, here's my obligatory plug for the 2-headed dual-GPU nVidia box I built for my kids' Minecraft PC a few years ago:
http://trumblings.blogspot.com...Bought all the parts used from Craigslist ($400 for the system, $150 for each video card, and $5 each for a 21" CRT), and it's still better than my gaming PC. There's enough Minecraft mods on it to keep them busy, but they also each have their Steam account on it that they can use for Altitude, Alien Swarm, Portal 2, DOTA, etc. And sometimes World of Tanks, but it's annoying that the updater doesn't seem to work and we usually have to do a full reinstall using PlaysOnLinux each time there's an update.
In my dreamland, they'll eventually get around to using it for productivity apps, but someday....

That's no more "backward compatibility" than a ColecoVision Expansion Module No. 1, Super Game Boy, or Game Boy Player accessory because all the NES processing hardware is in the Super 8 adapter.

Re:Looking forwards
These gentleman's agreements are bunk, making the very idea of sports competitions a joke. These are not the best of the best, they're the best of what they feel like allowing - for now.
Maybe they need to have both. For instance, in sailing, there are several types of competition. There is One Design racing, where the boats are all required to be pretty much identical. Different boats have different restrictions (some restrict costs by doing things like limiting how many sets of sails you can buy each year, others pretty much say no limits), but within a fleet, the boats are pretty much identical. At some events, boats are even provided and/or you rotate between boats. This really means that the best sailor wins since they can't do anything to significantly alter the boat.
Then there are classes where the boats are all similar, but not identical. They are built to a specific rule, e.g. "As long as the boat fits in X dimensions and has sail area less than Y and the ballast doesn't weight more than Z". The boats tend to be fairly even, since a fast design soon takes over the competition, so the best sailors still tend to win. But it also leads to innovation. For instance, the Moth class has evolved from a boat that looks like this, to a crazy high performance design that hydrofoils above the water like this. The old moth would never be able to compete with the new designs...but that's ok. That's the price of allowing people to innovate.
There are even events that really have no rules...but generally people don't care much about them since the competition completely turns into a money pit. Generally what happens there, is a standards body assigns a handicap to level the playing field. So the super rich dudes still compete for who can have the flat-out fastest boat, but everybody else (and the people who have the fastest boat from 10 years ago) just compete for the best corrected time according to handicap.
