You must be blind. Apk's right PopeRatzo admits being paid by Soros https://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=11669511&cid=56024869/ , https://politics.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=10845433&cid=54783553/ There's even more in PopeRatzo's post history proving it from PopeRatzo's own mouth. PopeRatzo also states he is fat https://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=11747015&cid=56126866/ and not to eat pizza like PopeRatzo's own photo APK posted that PopeRatzo doesn't deny is him that proves that he is indeed a fat crap loser https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-QqAn6jRY748/UP906Z4OONI/AAAAAAAAMBw/4UJL1sLYx2E/s1600/Gun+Nut+Article+for+Bell+of+Lost+Souls2.jpg/ Apk only told it how it is using facts and direct quotes from PopeFATZO (funny and fits his fat misshappen mutant treasonous ass).

because the people who oppose all gun regulation have a lobby (the NRA) telling them how to vote, they listen, they vote and above all they're single issuer voters.

Gun control is a dead issue. It doesn't matter that 94% of Americans support Universal Background checks when that's just one issue out of many for them. The gun lobby is made up of people that will vote for _anyone_ so long as they promise to let them have their guns. You can't beat that strength unless you match it, and I don't see that happening.

They won. Drop it. You can't win this. The reason is simple. Gun nuts are Otaku. They're nerds. But they're a different kind of nerd than what everybody thinks about. They're extroverted nerds. Folks are used to seeing the introverted nerd; the kind that doesn't want to be around people. But they forget about the extroverts. They _want_ to be around people, but they're weird or ugly or tactless or something else that regular people don't like. So this kind of nerd seeks a community that accepts them no matter what. And a lot of the wash up on the shores of the NRA. The reason why there are so many strange gun nuts, heck the reason the phrase gun nut exists is that their an accepting community. It's like a religion. If you buy into it everybody has to at least be polite to you. It's a community. And if you make the slightest motion to take away that community they will react with a fear and hate you can't even imagine because, well, it's all they've got.

I suppose we could work to build a society that doesn't need such communities, but this is a site for nerds, and we all know how likely _that_ is to happen.

No, but they're not sciences in the way that, say, particle physics is. As Lubos Motls pointed out the number of sigma required to verify a hypothesis is very different

https://motls.blogspot.com/201...

Some disciplines of science try to be as hard and reliable as particle physics so they adopted the same 5-sigma (1 in 3 million) standard for discovery; most other disciplines, especially soft sciences such as medical research, climate science, psychology, and others, are often satisfied with 3-sigma (1 in 300) or even 2-sigma (1 in 20) evidence.

That's assuming there's enough data for this sort of thing, which there most likely isn't for history where you're relying on a couple of second hand sources.

That doesn't mean history is junk, it just means you can't be as certain of it as you can with physics. And in fact new discoveries turn up all the time and change the consensus view of historical events. Similarly the consensus on economics can change pretty drastically - e.g. Keynesianism took a major beating in the 80's due to stagflation. Arguably post Keynesian economics did post 2008, though that may be coming to an end.

Social sciences have fuzzy data and the interpretation of the data is influenced by politics - that's especially true of climate change and economics. They're not at all like particle physics with its spectacular 5 sigma near certainty. You could probably find examples of present day politics influencing linguistics too.

Incidentally literature isn't science and it definitely isn't junk. And good literature isn't influenced by politics, except in the extreme Orwellian case where a worst case totalitarian regime ends literature.

http://www.orwell.ru/library/e...

Literature has sometimes flourished under despotic regimes, but, as has often been pointed out, the despotisms of the past were not totalitarian. Their repressive apparatus was always inefficient, their ruling classes were usually either corrupt or apathetic or half-liberal in outlook, and the prevailing religious doctrines usually worked against perfectionism and the notion of human infallibility. Even so it is broadly true that prose literature has reached its highest levels in periods of democracy and free speculation. What is new in totalitarianism is that its doctrines are not only unchallengeable but also unstable. They have to be accepted on pain of damnation, but on the other hand, they are always liable to be altered on a moment's notice. Consider, for example, the various attitudes, completely incompatible with one another, which an English Communist or 'fellow-traveler' has had to adopt toward the war between Britain and Germany. For years before September, 1939, he was expected to be in a continuous stew about 'the horrors of Nazism' and to twist everything he wrote into a denunciation of Hitler: after September, 1939, for twenty months, he had to believe that Germany was more sinned against than sinning, and the word 'Nazi', at least as far as print went, had to drop right out of his vocabulary. Immediately after hearing the 8 o'clock news bulletin on the morning of June 22, 1941, he had to start believing once again that Nazism was the most hideous evil the world had ever seen. Now, it is easy for the politician to make such changes: for a writer the case is somewhat different. If he is to switch his allegiance at exactly the right moment, he must either tell lies about his subjective feelings, or else suppress them altogether. In either case he has destroyed his dynamo. Not only will ideas refuse to come to him, but the very words he uses will seem to stiffen under his touch. Political writing in our time consists almost entirely of prefabricated phrases bolted together like the pieces of a child's Meccano set. It is the unavoidable result of self-censorship. To write

What you're still missing is purchasing power parity based on cost of living. You need to have both parts, both income and what that income will buy. There's a reason $50K in income would mean you're poor if you live in NYC while you'd be upper middle class in Mississippi.

Using JesseMcDonald's helpful reference, the countries you're comparing are lower once you compare PPP of the income.

California is currently failing in many respects.

The national economy is up around 3%, and California revenues are also up about 2.9 %.

That's about a 1:1 ratio, but CA grew at twice the rate of the economy in 2016. Their growth is significantly slowed since about two years ago. Also, that 2.9% increase in revenues is offset by about 2% increase in expenses, so it's not going to reduce their deficit a lot.

The CA population has lost about 930,000 people(*) according to census data (linked in the article), mostly middle class. The middle-class in CA have moved away to Arizona, Washington, and Texas leaving the poor and ultra-rich behind. Not completely, of course, but losing that much middle class has gotta put stress on the CA economy.

Their labor force shrank from 62.1% to 59.1% in that same time - a huge decrease to happen in just over a year.

CA is dead last (50th out of 50) in economic freedom.

Some analysts are suggesting that CA is already in a recession.

So... yeah. It's entirely reasonable to predict that California is facing very bad times in the near future.

And by extension, the California management.

When the democratic party wants something political done by the judicial branch. His name and opinions come up. He puts aside the law in favor of party. Lawyers and jurisprudence experts have been talking about it for a long time. This is merely the most recent and high-profile. Either he feels emboldened to ignore his duty (Why did he not go after the equally Gerrymandered democratic states while citing the equal protections clause?) or feels that he is at risk of being replaced.

The time constant for earthquake building codes is several decades long. Most of the California earthquake building codes stem from the 1933 Long Beach earthquake (mag 6.4). Most schools back then were brick buildings. Brick walls have no lateral strength - any sideways motion makes them simply fall over. Most of the schools in the Los Angeles areas were severely damaged or destroyed by the quake. But fortunately it hit around 6pm well after school hours. The realization that thousands if not tens of thousands of schoolchildren could've been killed if it had struck earlier in the day is what got the state to start imposing strict earthquake building codes (and banning unreinforced brick buildings).

But older buildings were grandfathered in. Brick structures weren't required to be reinforced until after 1971 San Fernando earthquake. That's when they began requiring steel bars be drilled into brick structures with square retaining plates at the ends, to keep the bricks from falling over under lateral load. You can frequently see these square plates in brick buildings on TV shows and movies, since many of the scenes are shot around Los Angeles. Most of the newer "brick" buildings you see in California are actually wood or concrete structures with a fake brick facade.

But we're learning new things from each quake. The 1994 Northridge quake in particular was eye-opening because one nearby seismograph measured vertical accelerations in excess of 1g (others measured close to 1g indicating it wasn't a fluke or malfunction). Up until then, it was thought that the maximum vertical acceleration possible from an earthquake was about 0.1g. Northridge shattered that assumption, and revised building codes take the possibility of strong vertical accelerations into account.

Anyhow, because of grandfathering, the time constant for most buildings to comply with improved regulations is several decades (average time until an old building is torn down and rebuilt). The difference in dollar damage between Loma Prieta and Northridge is almost entirely attributable to location, not because lessons learned from Loma Prieta got applied within 5 years. The Loma Prieta quake was centered in a forest about 20 miles from downtown San Jose, nearly 60 miles from San Francisco and Oakland. The Northridge quake was centered directly underneath the San Fernando Valley suburbs, and about 20 miles from downtown Los Angeles. Casualties would've been much higher had it struck during the middle of the day with the freeways jammed with traffic (a section of the I-10 overpass in LA collapsed). Fortunately it struck at 4:30 in the morning when most people were asleep in their relatively safe 1- and 2-story homes (the frequency of most earthquake shaking matches the resonance frequency of 3- and 4-story buildings, which are the majority of the ones which collapsed in both quakes).

By the time lessons from previous disasters get applied on a wide scale, increases in population and corresponding infrastructure pretty much offset any reduction in damage due to improved safety standards. A better statistic for comparing over time would be average cost of natural disasters per capita for the year (basically canceling out population growth). You could even make an argument for using the ratio of natural disaster cost to GDP (basically canceling out infrastructure growth). (And of course, normalizing for inflation is a given.)

Intel PR monkeys are trying to take AMD down with them, let's make this clear:

For the 3 bugs, the biggest one only affect Intel CPUs, for bug 2 and 3:

AMD bug only affects THE SAME PROCESS, unlike Intel, which allows exploits to cross processes:

https://googleprojectzero.blog...

As shown, AMD was only vulnerable to "the ability to read data inside mis-speculated execution within the same process, without crossing any privilege boundaries."

Actually Google has a really good overview: https://googleprojectzero.blog...

Saw that. It needs an executive summary.

I can't find the answer to my question there. Even if I read it carefully, I don't know if it would have the answer.

The short story is that there is no fix to stop any process from reading the entire memory contents of the machine. You need to replace the Intel processor with processor that doesn't have this flaw to fix this problem.

Too many people are working on OS changes for that to be believable. If an OS change is irrelevant, then why bother implementing it?

The point was that scientists have claimed several things in the past that turned out to be false and that was even known to them to be false, usually because of political pressure and the threat of pulling grant money for going against the grain. Your attempt to distract from this point is laughable.

Distorted data? Feds close 600 weather stations amid criticism they're situated to report warming quote: "the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has closed some 600 out of nearly 9,000 weather stations over the past two years that it has deemed problematic or unnecessary, after a long campaign by one critic highlighting the problem of using unreliable data."

There are hundreds of weather monitoring stations that are installed improperly, including beside runways where hot jet exhaust will blow on them and next to concrete structures that will throw off measurements in either direction due to heat rolling off of and sunlight reflecting off of the concrete, or my favorite: the ones placed above trash burn barrels. Lest you attempt to sneer "Fox News!!!11" as if that's a valid logical dismissal, they are not the only ones mentioning this issue.

Then there's this handy Wikipedia list of scientists that go against the consensus.

Personally, I doubt that 50-100 years of temperature measurements, regardless of accuracy, is sufficient to create climate models that are accurate since planetary climate change takes place over many thousands of years, not mere centuries. We have insufficient data to know if we are warming because of humans or if it's all just coincidental correlation based on a warming cycle that was set to happen anyway. My position is one of climate agnosticism; we simply do not have enough information and anyone claiming to have enough is making extraordinary claims requiring extraordinary evidence.

So, you didn't actually investigate the mountain of evidence, you merely attempted to discredit the alternative media outlet that's shouting the truth. Jeez, do you work for the mainstream media or something? An extensive timeline of the corruption in the FBI, and how it affected the election.

Just a few days ago, FBI's top General Counsel James A. Baker, the man who leaked the "Piss Dossier" to Mother Jones (a far left magazine), is reassigned by FBI Director Wray. This is huge, huge. Is your news not reporting this? Maybe you're listening to fake news. Get out and listen to the alternative media. Here's a good starting point for you, he's a leftist just like you, you'll agree with a lot of what he says. Start clicking on the related videos it'll start showing you and follow where they lead. Good luck! I envy the intellectual journey of enlightenment you're about to embark on.

You can always tell people who get their information from the mainstream media because they are totally out of the loop about what's really happening. Try this from the alternative media: A Timeline of Treason: How the DNC and FBI Leadership Tried to Fix a Presidential Election. Extensively documented and footnoted.

Donna Brazile said after Seth Rich was killed, she kept the blinds down to protect from snipers, possibly Russian. OK. The Russians are going to start a possible WWIII with America to kill a man who...according to the DNC, didn't leak any emails.

Nope, only some populations are genetically equipped for a vegetarian diet. For the rest, lack of meat causes brain shrinkage and mental disorders.

This. There is a long out of print book by Mark Vonnegut called "The Eden Express" Mark suffered from Schizophrenia in the early 1970's, and much of his problems were based on a vegetarian diet. After stabilizing him with Thorazine and shock treatments, he went on a normal diet, and with vitamin supplements, became a normal productive person.

I tried vegatarianism in the early 1980's, and while I didn't go any crazier than I am now, it severely fucked up my digestive system. Fortunately, going back to a normal diet reset my intestinal flora.

That's vegetarian -- vegan diet is far more harmful.

I have always thought that a vegan starts out with trying to define everything in life as good or bad (this is a bad thing to do, and leads to bad mental outcomes) So they embark on a journey to try to ensure that everything they do is good.

Killing animals is bad, especially the cute ones, so eating their "corpse meat" is likewise bad. So they stop. That Chicken didn't give you permission to eat it's eggs, or that cow it's milk or the honey we callously steal from the innocent bees. So that is verboten.

So they embark on this completely irrational and artificial and un-natural diet of only things they have determined are ethically "good".

My reply to them is that just who are they to set themselves up as arbiter of what is good and bad.

All life is precious, from the lowest bacteria to yeasts, to plants, to animals. And unless a human being somehow becomes a chemoautotroph, and can surgive by directly taking minerals and digesting them, the human does not live unless the human kills another life form. No way around it. The vegan is no less a killer than the meat eaters they consider below them.

I can certainly see why you're upset!

He cured himself of schizophrenia by eating meat and you already eat it! You've got nowhere to go!

Why don't you think a little more about that while watching an episode of WeddingTV's The Great Cake Bake art competition?
Or, if that doesn't catch your interest, why not choose one of these dozens of other art shows for cakes the are on TV? You can try a show like Cake Wars (a spin-off of the highly-successful Cupcake Wars).
After that, maybe stroll down to one of the hundreds of local cake baking artistry competitions that are held around the US?

Tens of thousands of artists spend huge amounts of time, effort, and creativity making cakes and entering them in competitions to be judged on those merits. There are goddamned galleries of cakes out there, run by Cake Artists unions.

In other words, it's fucking art.

You are confusing the alt-right with various other non-right groups, such as neo-Nazis. The press has been doing that on purpose for the last couple of years, and some people who have nothing to do with the alt-right have been trying to pretend that they are for fun and profit.

Here is the core of alt-right philosophy: What the Alternative Right is

And here is an article about a writer going to a meeting organized by Richard Spencer. Spencer likes to pretend that he is alt-right, but he supports about 95% of the Democrat platform/Socialist agenda, which makes him not only not alt-right, but also not any-right. Money quote:

Because the white supremacists' views on economic issues sound a lot like, well, like views espoused by the Nation and Democratic party progressives. In what could pass for Bernie Sanders campaign literature, she quotes Spencer saying "I support national health care" and railing against "the trillions spent in insane wars." Minkowitz also quotes Spencer blasting the GOP tax plan as "stupid ... Reaganite nostalgia" and supporting a universal basic income. Another speaker decried that everything is seemingly becoming "corporatized and capitalized." Wait - is this a white supremacist conference or a New York Times editorial board meeting?

If people believe climate scientists are full of it, then they'll likely also question astronomer warnings, and do it.

Here are some stats. That decline is too sharp to be caused by people cutting the chord out of a general desire rather than a specific desire to stop supporting the NFL.

A large part of the problem is that the NFL has punished players for doing something as simple as wearing non-regulation additions to their uniforms to honor the lives of the police that were gunned down defending the BLM protesters in Texas. Chew on that one for a minute; if this is about freedom of speech, why would the NFL fine the heck out of players who wanted to honor officers who gave their lives to protect freedom of speech?

And that is why so many people see it as purely a left wing and racist issue aimed at spitting on the flag. The NFL has kicked players' asses over speech that was family friendly and community-affirming, but chooses to take a stand here?

A premature birth is only viable because it contains not only fully-formed organs, but a fully self-supporting system. That system may be insufficient and, depending on who you ask, viability may include viability if hooked up to a support machine rather than just viability to survive without care.

this is a blastocyst.

Generally, abortions occur prior to 9 weeks. Beyond 9 weeks, you need surgical abortion; up to that point, you can have a drug-induced abortion. At about 9 weeks, the heart finishes dividing into chambers; internal organs are roughed-out, but nowhere near developed. Even the neural tube has only just curled up to take the place of the brain and started differentiating into scaffolding, not yet becoming an actual brain.

Viability is generally agreed upon at 24 weeks, although the low-point number is 20 weeks. Interestingly enough, premature infants seem to not have active default-mode neural networks (basic brain function) until around 30 weeks. In simple terms, a fetus isn't capable of being aware until around 25-30 weeks, although we think they can respond to (but possibly not experience) pain around 20-24.

The 20-24 week delineation avoids the upper end of the extreme, landing before the brain is capable of maybe being aware. The 9-week medical abortion limit is well before brain formation.

Remember as well: you're a person, being a sum of your experiences and your ability to think, reason, and engage in self-preservation responses. A fetus doesn't have a stress response and so no display of self-preservation behavior. It's rather conservative to consider an infant a "person" even at birth; yet we have this wonderful option to identify a missed menstrual cycle (at 4 weeks), test for pregnancy, and perform a drug-induced abortion (by 9 weeks), far before one would seriously begin to wonder if it's perhaps a living being and not just a blob of tissue. 24-week abortions may be legal in many places, but they're horrendously-stressful on the mother (surgery) and generally-unpleasant, so it's easy to encourage people to make that decision early.

Depending on your mood, one lump of cells could either be dumpster fodder or a human child we spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to save.

Surprisingly, my parents were vocally against abortion until my mom got pregnant again--then they had an abortion a few weeks later. They seem to have forgotten this since then. Mood seems to vary.

Sure Apple makes it a bit more difficult than some other phones but the core weakness is not eliminated. People often confuse vulnerabilities and exploits. Having a closed source chip in your baseband IS a form of vulnerability... there may not be a working exploit that is currently known, and it may be difficult to accomplish but it remains a weakness.

With Apple continuing to lock down baseband access it may eventually be strong enough to resist even a malicious broadband chip. Much like the Intel Management Engine, years of people calling it safe doesn't make it so.

Barbie? You mean her?

All of the listed reasons for the drying up a pool of young illegal-immigrant farm workers for those Trump-voting farmers to illegally employ for profit are valid.

But the most important reason is not mentioned.

Demographics.

The birth rate in Mexico is now below the replacement rate, as it is in the U.S.

The average (and median) age of illegal border crossers is 20. So a border-crosser today was born in 1997 when the fertility rate in Mexico had already plunged 60%. So the oversupply of young people willing to give up their society and family to live on the margins in the U.S. has disappeared and is not ever coming back.

There was a time in the not-too-distant past when the "net neutrality" rule wasn't in effect. So far, nobody has come up with any actual problems from that era that "net neutrality" fixed.

Some perhaps helpful links. https://plus.google.com/111504... which links to http://thegarrisoncenter.org/a... , and also http://knappster.blogspot.com/...

Ending "net neutrality" will not be the end of anything good. Dogs and cats will not be living together. There will be no mass hysteria. "Those people" will not suddenly start to want to marry your sister. Witches won't put a curse on you. And so on.

No, complex things require training to get used to. It doesn't matter if they were from a cruiser, an oil refinery or a spaceship, a control action should make immediately obvious if it is active or inactive. As someone else has posted: Which of these are ganged? Did you need to be a trained electrician to figure that out?

There were multiple failures here, but lack of situational awareness stood out and a shithouse UI that defaults to non-ganged controls / doesn't make it immediately obvious, and two people who are sitting right next to each other don't immediately realise who has steering control just by glancing at their screens, that is not something that needs to be fixed by training. .... errr unless we're talking about training for the idiot designer of the HMI.

The Navy could learn a lot from the Airforce.

> The helmsman sent all control (not just throttle) the the other station.

And neither he nor the anyone else looking at the situation didn't realized all control had been sent away, because the UI didn't gray out of the inactive controls or anything. Two people looked at it and couldn't tell it had been inactivated. Guess which controls are disabled here:

> The second helmsman throttled down only one engine.

When he too couldn't tell that a) he had control of steering or that b) the engined weren't ganged. Again, try to figure out which controls are ganged and which aren't:

It's not hard to make it obvious.

These aren't minerals, but elements. The ore which they elements may be extracted from are minerals - several different kinds, none of which are mentioned in TFS.

The elements themselves are not rare. It''s just a matter of paying for the extraction. It won't make batteries hard to find, just expensive.

The cited element Nickle, is easily purifiable. After the initial Extraction, they use a procedure called the Mond process. They cite 99.99 percent purity.

I couldn't get much further on the cited page in the article because of them blocking my ad-blocker, but it looks like petrofuel car site, which does give me an idea about where they are coming from.

The boobies too.

Yes, plz. Slap these hoes back in line!

After the scan-mode-only over-the-air wifi shell code, low-quality poorly-isolated software running on basebands is an unacceptable security risk. They point out that for cell radios the attack surface is larger and the code quality as bad or worse, but it's a less compelling demonstration to exploit them because there are so many old versions and unpatched branches floating around. The blobs that have invaded low-power wifi (hence the exploit), Bluetooth, graphics, and initial program load are also unacceptable. Every blob hides bugs, complicates releases for the overall machine including security fix releases, and creates an asymmetrically weaponized market for exploits since organs of the State get blob source but civilian researchers don't.

You need to start with Intel, though. They are Bitch #0. They're the ones with the secret "management engine" hidden CPU explicitly designed to host rootkits, and the FSP boot blob perfectly crafted to allow NSA persistence in spite of "verified boot." Intel reference design is like Mossad/NSA's wet dream.

Huh? I think you need to study your maps again. NYC is at 40 deg N, Rome is at 41 deg N. Most of the lower 48 of the US is below 45 deg N. Move the growing region 10 degrees North (from about 25N to 50N up to 35N to 60N) and you dramatically increase the land mass that can be farmed. Rather than having the Canadian farming belt end around Saskatoon (52N) we can push well past Rainbow Lake(58N). Russia would about double its arable land to farm.

And I guess you think you can't grow corn or other foodstuffs at high latitudes? You can grow corn in Fairbanks, Alaska and that's at 64N. Warm it up 20 days more and your growing season gets quite nice, actually... I think your theory is quite false, given you don't even know where the cities are that you reference. Who's the padawan now?

Also, since he links to the partially-good-argument, partially-prevarication "systemd Biggest Myths" article, it's also worth linking to this few-years-old "biggest fallacies" article.

I wanted one about 6 years ago. Well, actually, 20 years ago, but it was a financial impossibility until 5 or 6 years ago. I was reading about them in engineering journals for many years and never saw one up close until I joined the Milwaukee Makerspace. One of the members had a Makerbot CupCake.

I wanted a machine that was capable of printing a full sized human skull extracted from CT scan data. I looked at that miserable little CupCake, pushed on it and poked at it a little, and instantly knew I could make something much better. So I did. It took about a year and a half to get it printing, but it produced extremely high quality prints over its 305 x 317 mm bed. I used what I learned from that one and built my second printer over about a 6 month period- fully enclosed, warm enough to print ABS reliably, etc. I measure, test, and redesign until I get the machine to do what I want. I build printers like the proverbial brick s**t house using surplus industrial components and absolutely minimal 3D printed parts. I set the bed level once and don't have to touch it again.

6 years and three designs/builds later I have a CoreXY machine that can print 300 x 300 x 695 mm. I still haven't printed that skull, but I print a lot of other things. Here's one example: https://drmrehorst.blogspot.co... I have about 50 designs posted to Youmagine and Thingiverse, and countless others that I have never posted.

They aren't for everyone, and some people never get past printing tugboats and Yoda heads, but some of us do interesting and even useful stuff.
