But I'm pretty sure staying there will not be economical perhaps for centuries. Even "The case for Mars" says so. Humans are not very good at planning for centuries.

The Navy tried that already in 1964. Popular Science ran an article about it: https://books.google.fr/books?...

I see your Turing, and raise you multi-agent approaches.

TL;DR: if you *can* solve the economic organisation problem centrally, then you can also solve it MUCH more efficiently using a distributed, multi-agent method. The free market is one such distributed approach.

The acronym DRM (direct rendering management) first appeared in the Linux Kernel in 1999.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

  DRM (digital rights management) is more difficult to trace back because it is a generic term and not a specific technology.

Here are the number of references by Google Scholar for "Digital Rights Management" DRM

https://scholar.google.fr/scho...

1999 = 17
2000 = 43
2001 = 205
2002 = 378
2003 = 740 ...
2010 = 1610

So in 1999, the terminology DRM (digital rights management) existed but was not mainstream. This is consistent with my own memory. At the time I first saw DRM (digital rights management), I already knew about the Linux DRM for a few years.

This policy doesn't require notification of mental illness that wouldn't affect flying.

I agree that the need would have to be demonstrated unless already categorized but I think it should be law and not only company policy that defines what jobs require it. There would then be a category list of jobs : conditions where the company does not have to demonstrate anything (i.e. piloting a plane : being suicidal).

Flying is only one example but there are many where safety of others is an issue.

Google maps location

It is not in Paris city itself, it's in the suburb. This place is a mix of housing area and old industrial facilities being slowly converted.
There are lots of data centers around here, the article say 10% of french capacity.
As you can see one the map, north of the data center is a highway, railroad and others industrial buildings. Only the south part is next to private houses.
I don't think the data center will shutdown they will appeal in court and add some noise reduction system.

There are three Concordes around Paris that I know of:
- The air & Space museum at Le Bourget has one in a hanger that you can walk through. It was of the first 2 built & was used to prove Concorde's air worthiness. It's in the state it was left in in the mid 70s -- no seats or cabin furnishings, just late 60s recorder instrumentation.
- They have one up on a canted stand to make it look like it's taking off and banking left as you leave Charles de Gaulle Airport towards Paris. I assume it was stripped and strengthened to make it secure on it's stand.
      https://www.google.fr/maps/pla...
- There is one parked behind Orly Airport at the Musee Delta. This one looks fairly operational but abandoned.
      https://www.google.fr/maps/pla...

About 2 months ago was driving by the one behind Orly and noticed that they had pulled access ramps up to it, opened the doors & people were walking in & out. It was back to it's abandoned state on the next day. I wonder if this project has anything to do with the people examining the Concorde?

Charlie Hebdo insulted all Muslims. They did it deliberately, they knew it, and that was their goal. Well, they achieved it.

That's your personal interpretation. They criticized extremists of all religions

There was no fun in those cartoons.

The goal of a satirical publication is not just humor but also to get some messages across. And while I don't particularly like Charlie Hebdo in general, some of their drawings make pretty good points.

They were warned many times, but they kept insulting not Christians, not Jewish, only Muslims.

That's a lie: here are pages of Charlie Hebdo caricatures of Jesus and Moise. They even made a Shoah Hebdo edition just like they did a Charia Hebdo one.

What we know is cases like this usually have money involved, and the second known thing is that US Jewish groups support anti-muslim politicians and parties in Europe. Was that the case here? I don't know, looks very likely.

Charlie Hebdo's only source of income was its readership. And suggesting they were funded by politicians really shows you have no idea what you're talking about.

you literally can't get more than 40 hours of work out of people anyway.

Try 20.

For most of our existence as a species, 18-24 hours of work per week has been the world-wide average time spent satisfying our basic needs. All the rest was leisure, endeavours in curiosity and socializing. This observation still verifies with the few primitive tribes still around. It also verifies in our records of ancestral agricultural tribes. That's the intensity of work our bodies have attuned to over hundreds of thousands of years of recent evolution.

From my professional experience too it verifies, and I'm curious about what other people may want to report about that. People around me may log long or short hours over the days but once you substract the pauses, all the staring at the screen in a blank mind right after lunch or at the end of the work day, all the heated discussions about this hot topic or that, all the trying to figure out or motivate yourself about what you should be doing next, and concentrate on the actual, value-adding focus and thinking and doing, that's hardly more than 3 to 5 hours a week-day, typically 1-3 hours around 10 in the morning and 2-3 hours around 3 P.M. Even middle management types who try to commit, who show up first and leave last everyday, spend most of their time socializing rather than actually organising things up (basically they're downrate, modernized tribes' chiefs).

If you've got a flexible enough mind, it's a lot more efficient for you (and healthier and easier and saner and...) to wake up without an alarm clock, and not rush to the office, help yourself with organising your tasks with basic methodology, then get stuff done in those 4-5 hours. And outside of those hours relax, talk with your colleagues, allow yourself to enjoy your lunch, etc. There's litterally no point trying to force it beyond that.

Also, you'll benefit immensely from cutting the crap out of your life at home too. Stop inflicting incessant news updates, FB status updates, tweets and 24/7 information TV on yourself, your brain is NOT built for that kind of abuse. Stop thinking in terms of pain/gain balance: an hour of treadmilling is not compensating a handful of cupcakes, not in any way you can measure utility for yourself, ever ; and similarly inflicting huge stress and deadlines and job abuse on yourself so you can then indulge in a more wasteful home and car and lifestyle is NOT balanced either.

That one most precious but limited resource that you have in a basically fixed amount for life: your time... stop throwing it away so liberally. You just need to spend half as much as your income (give or take a quarter of your income, there's quite a margin) and then you can get retired in your 30s (or 40s if you're already late in the game), even on a $40-50 000/year job.

Otherwise, what's the point of removing it. It's trivial for users to search the Google index of other counties. I can search Google France by simply going to Google.fr. If "the right to be forgotten" does not extend outside your own country's borders, are you really forgotten?

You may want to be able to cut power to the device, not just "switch off" as send an electrical signal which basically means "please switch yourself off".

Further, it is actually possible to disable the CVR and FDR ("the black box") - just trip the circuit breaker. There may be some battery backup, but this only lasts for ~10 minutes:

This happened on SilkAir flight 185, which probably was deliberately crashed by its captain:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S...

Whether the transmitters which may or may not have been running on this flight where possible to switch off, I don't know - one possible location is actually inside the engine nacelle - so it may have been wired to be always on as long as the engine is running, shutting down when the engine control circuitry looses power. Or maybe the pilot just didn't know about them?

Sorry to affect your american centrism, but it happened in France, too, and the case is quite documented (pardon my french). The police -which were contacted by the driver- had to make room for the car on the motorway, and to find a solution to slow the car down gracefully. In the end, nobody was hurt, but Toyota...
While I do agree that in the litigation-driven country that became the USA, most of these drivers must be full shit, and surfing on the "it's not me, it's the machine" wave, it looks like there is a real software defect.

No country has any authority to pass laws about a company which doesn't operate there. When a user in country A goes to a server in country B, the laws of country B are what matter. Just like when you travel to a country on vacation, it's THAT countries laws which apply, not the laws of the country you're coming from.

So, what about google.fr?

At first, the Ku Klux Klan focused its anger and violence on African-Americans, on white Americans who stood up for them, and against the federal government which supported their rights. Subsequent incarnations of the Klan, which typically emerged in times of rapid social change, added more categories to its enemies list, including Jews, Catholics (less so after the 1970s), homosexuals, and different groups of immigrants. -- more

Wait... the KKK are anti-catholic?!? Do they not even know their own history? Have they not seen where their outfits come from? Mediterranean Holy Week penitent Catholics....

This guy says the four main variables in wine pairings are :

• - acidity
• - sweetness
• - alcohol level
• - astringency or tannins (for red wine)

And I think it's refreshing, and also very sensible to think about wine in such "basic" terms. Even if you can detect all kinds of interesting flavours in wine, like world-class sommeliers do, I think those four variables are definitely going to influence your experience a lot more than anything else about the wine. Who cares if it has a hint of blueberry muffin or ripe apricot ? If it's too sweet or too acidic for your dish, you won't appreciate it as much.

Wouldn't it be nice if, in addition to alcoholic content, the labels on wine bottles clearly displayed the amount of sweetness, acidity, and astringency ? I'm talking about real numbers with some kind of scale. For instance, we already label bottles of vinegar with their acidity level, why not do the same for wine ? On bottles of Aszú Tokaji wine from Hungary, there's a number of puttonyos that range from 3 to 6, which give you a good idea of how sweet the wine is. I don't know of any other wine that gives you that kind of information on its label.

For me, the usual experience of buying a wine is looking at the prices, and reading the vague descriptions and suggested pairings on the labels.

There also are photos from a local newspaper (if you use noscript, allow www.lalsace.fr, there are 12 photos, not only one).

Nicotine is not addictive.

Or to put it more accurately: nicotine is not the addicting substance in cigarettes / tobacco. The careful analysis of lab tests (mostly done on rats and monkeys) shows repeatedly that nicotine fails to induce the effects we understand as demonstrating addiction.

However, the belief that nicotine is the substance that you crave when trying to stop smoking, is extremely lucrative to the nicotine-gum and nicotine-patch industry. In my country (France) the state's healthcare plan covers most of those products, making this coverage a (costly) disguised subsidy.

Current France's president is quite unlikely to support that kind of investigation, given how close it got with Ghadaffi. We can be confident that french authorities validated the sell of this software. Fortunately, president Sarkozy is about to be shown the door on upcoming elections.
