Re:Balance
There is so much petty crime in London that the police don't bother recording reports of robberies, muggings, or 'simple' assault - if it takes more than a few minutes to solve, they won't bother. Similar policies are in place elsewhere in the UK, too; if there is no death or maiming, then the police don't care. In 2013, before these new polices took place, they already dropped 50% of all property crimes - now they won't even pretend to solve them.
Career criminals with 70+ convictions walk out of court on your "suspended sentences", sometimes serving three or four at a time.
Meanwhile, in Rotherham, Rochdale, and Telford, the UK "justice system" spends thirty years covering up hundreds of thousands of gang rapes of thousands of young girls (as young as 12!) because the police and judges don't want to look racist.

Re:Cutting corners
tesla owner nearly burned to death
Even back in 2014 when the tech wasn't as mature as it is today, rates of EV fires, including rates of Tesla fires, were much lower than they are for gasoline vehicles. Yes, it's possible to burn a battery pack, but you have to really mess it up to do so. As an example of how fire resistant they are, this Model S was entirely gutted in an unrelated fire, to the point of leaving a pool of molten alumium on the ground, and still didn't manage to burn the battery pack. Here's the results of what happens when you deliberately try to burn a Powerpack (same basic tech).
Gee, who'dathunkit that filling a pack with fire barriers and surrounding every cell with a non-flammable coolant might mean something?
tesla almost kills owner when it rams concrete barrier
OMG, a car got in a nonfatal accident at highway speeds and protects its occupant! Quick, ring the New York Times, have them dispatch an autogyro to the scene, post haste!
tesla almost kills driver and multiple fire fighters due to their shit system
OMG, another highway-speed crash with an astoundingly small amount of damage (" minor cuts and bruises from the accident but was otherwise unharmed"), caused due to a fire truck stopped on a highway causing traffic to have to swerve out of its way, causing minimal damage to the fire truck, with the Tesla driver openly stating that the accident was his fault? WORLD NEWS MEDIA, WHERE ARE YOU? This is the story of the century! Cars never crash, and yet... twice!
tesla delivers accident waiting to happen to owner due to shit quality control
Dear Lord, a vehicle with a manufacturing defect, from a company making a hundred thousand vehicles per year? I've never heard of such a thing! That's never happened before in history! What's next... two? Three even? Oh, precious God in heaven above! They've even fooled new owners picking up their vehicles on the Tesla forums into not finding defects on their cars. What sort of sorcery are they playing here? They even got Consumer Reports to rank Model S above average in reliability. Witchcraft!
tesla cuts corner by not having a proper gauges in front of driver. glued on iPad they use instead causes deadly shards of glass to be thrown at occupants.
Oh, precious Heaven above, a car gets in an accident because he wasn't paying attention and praises how well it protected him, writing "“Everyone from the paramedics to the tow truck driver said that people don’t usually walk away from this. Had this been a regular ICE vehicle, I would be dead or in a lot worse condition." WON'T SOMEONE PLEASE STOP TESLA BEFORE THEY KILL AGAIN????
Also: clearly, NOBODY has EVER before in the history of time made a car with a central speedometer. It's just never happened! Certainly not completely>/i> centred ones, let alone "right beside the wheel" like in Model 3. Nope, never happened! Because it's so much safer to have to look "down and then through an obstruction" to see your speed, vs. "down and slightly right with no obstructions". Obviously!

This applies mostly to medicine and social science
This applies to mostly medicine and social science see John Ioannidis's research paper "Why Most Published Research Findings Are False" : http://journals.plos.org/plosm... It seems to me the sciences that deal with statistical p-value significance are all subject to false published research findings , for instance, see Craig Bennet's "Neural correlatates of interspecies perspectitve taking in post-mortem Salmon : An argument for multiple comparisons corrections". http://prefrontal.org/files/po... The paper is a deadpan gag and a veiled attack on sloppy methodology among neuroimaging researchers. Also, researchers run the Baltimore Stockbroker scam : https://somemathematicalmusing... When they selectively choose not to publish certain results in favor of other ones etc... So on and so forth etc...

1.5 kB then 72.3 kB
The blurry cover photo in question is not high res; it is 50 by 38 pixels and 1.5 kB, compared to the full-size cover photo that is 640 by 480 pixels and 72.3 kB. I admit I was wrong about it being an inline data: URI; I had remembered that technique from a faster paint tutorial and assumed it was being applied here as well. But even blurred photos compress fairly well in JPEG because most of their energy is concentrated in low-order DCT terms.

Welcome to the reputation economy
In 1995, French philosopher Giles Deleuze, building on the work of Foucault, perfectly explained what is going on here in his 3-page text "Postscript on societies of control". We are moving from societies of discipline to societies of control, he explains.
Discipline
- A system punishes people once they break the rules (law), but not before.
- Transparent and accountable, at least in current western societies.
- Ultimately builds on the governments monopoly of power. You play by the rules because the government has tanks.
- Expensive.
Control
- Permanent measuring and nudging, whether you are guilty or innocent.
- Increasingly hidden in datacenters and proprietary algorithms.
- Weaponizes social control by making social interactions measurable (social media), and thus designable. You play by the rules because you want to stay included in society.
- Cheap, as you are basically crowdsourcing control to the people, who themselves apply the pressure to each other.
All societies have both systems. But the social control system used to be informal and difficult to 'design' (although the Stasi already had a working beta version). That has changed with the rise of the internet, which has allowed us to cheaply measure and record everything. Couple that with the rise of psychological knowledge (nudging, etc), and you have a pretty interesting substrate.
The Chinese seem to have read Foucault and Deleuze's work better than we in the west did. At least they know that they're building..
Here in the west this could be a useful narrative to steer clear of this possible future:

Re:Gee, that's too bad
This is all a red herring to avoid substantiating your claims of "Backpage running an underage prostitution ring" but I'm going to thoroughly stomp it down anyway.
You cited the definition of ephebophilia so you know that referring to teens below the statutory age of unlimited sexual consent in some jurisdictions as "children" to imply that any desire to have sex with them is "sex with children" is dishonest. You have no other way to win this argument than to fire off ad hominem attacks and appeals to your own personal morality. You know that the paraphilia discussion is a giant red herring because the post you responded to was calling you out for trying to insert "underage" into the discussion without substantiation. You still haven't substantiated any of those claims.
You still have not supported your assertion that "[Backpage was] running a[n] underage prostitution ring" nor your curiously revised version "[Backpage] made aggressive moves to break into the underage prostitute ad market" (emphasis mine) so you're pushing really hard to play the "b-b-b-but if I call you a pedo apologist and swing my moral nuts in the air I can automatically win!" card instead. We're not talking about the difference between paraphilias (red herring) and we're not talking about the political support for bill in question (appeal to popularity and appeal to authority); we're talking about your assertions regarding Backpage and underage prostitution and how you have posted a lot of junk that has nothing to do with supporting those statements.
Plus, you keep trying to push for older teens to be regarded as equivalent to five-year-olds. These model twins are 16 years old, one year beyond the age of consent in Denmark where they are from and above the age of consent in the U.K. as well as several U.S. states. You are asserting that they are "children." Psychology and the law both say otherwise. It doesn't matter how many times you say the phrase "pedo apologist," it won't make you any less incorrect. Don't like it? Petition to have the laws changed to raise the legal age of sexual consent in those jurisdictions.
Don't like the models as an example? Fine. Here's Angelina Jolie at age 16, modeling underwear, published on a major U.K. website. The age of unlimited sexual consent in many parts of the world floats around 16 while the United States (where Backpage is operated) has a lot of states with a minimum age of 18, meaning they're illegal in those states but 100% legal in other states and several European countries. These older teenagers are within the age of consent in huge chunks of the modern Western world, are capable of bearing children, have developed secondary sex characteristics, have strong sexual drives, are already expected to take "correct" actions that will put them on career paths and shape their entire futures, yet you're attempting to liken them to five-year-olds.
I wonder how hard your panties will twist over [super NSFW] tiny and petite (but adult and legal) porn stars that are petite enough to have the Feds go after viewers for "child pornography" even though the photos are watermarked with an 18 USC 2257 compliant company's name and the photographed model is in their early 20s.
Support your original assertions with some facts or toss off. You've been given several opportunities and chosen not to substantiate your arguments thus far. I'm not letting you worm your way out of substantiating your original claims no matter what you try to use as -
Re:It's funny...
Yes, people choose prostitution as a career and many do so independently and enjoy doing it. Read up on the subject. https://www.washingtonpost.com... and the many posts at https://bebopper76.wordpress.c... and https://www.theguardian.com/co... and http://www.slate.com/articles/... are good places to start on your journey to not blindly buying into the prevailing narrative of bullshit.

Re:self driving cars will do the same in fleet mod
In the Minneapolis area, public transportation, particularly light rail, is a boondoggle.
In Minneapolis, Light Rail carries more than 1/4 of all transit trips, while costing approximately 1/8 of the Metro Transit budget - meaning it's the least subsidized part of the transit system (Subsidy: $1.84/trip for LRT, compared with $3.17/trip for urban local bus, $3.86/trip for express and $5.22/trip for suburban local buses).

Except for the reverse file name problem, which is unique to windows, you made no point.

Re:What does that even mean?
Yes, I would have labeled this as good-luck-with-that dept. For one, there has not been a huge demand for ISS by either business or science (commercial or govt). It seems ISS is a legacy of the 1950s Werner Von Braun concept outlined in Colliers magazine. Maybe space travel doesn't scale up like air travel (though ISS doesn't travel "anywhere").
On subject of privatizing reminds me of Agimarc commented in Dennis Wingo’s latest blog, https://denniswingo.wordpress....
I think the question needs to be broken into two pieces – Why to go? Who pays for it? The first part is some combination of figuring out how our neighborhood (the solar system) works, identifying, opening, and moving into a frontier, somewhere we’ve never been. Add to that, the willingness of some, to choose to explore, experience, and eventually permanently move into the frontier.

Sandbox API vs. sandbox-exec
Does anyone have info about how to easily run in a sandbox mac apps that are not from the app store and don't use the sandbox api? I only found the below article from 3 years ago, and had trouble getting it to work in the past. I just want to run an app in a jail and maybe as a less privileged user. I am not talk8ng about apps that voluntarily implement the api so that they are allowed in the app store. Otherwise I'm very uncomfortable about installing a dmg from some website even if it is a known vendor. It seems to be a major problem that it is so difficult for ordinary users to use a sandbox to jail apps.

Climate models are pretty accurate so far
...by the Scientific calisthenics required derive a working AGW theory, that hasn't been show to be true by any empirical evidence.
The basic global circulation model incorporating the effect of anthropogenic carbon dioxide (what you call "AGW theory") has been around for fifty years now (the peer-reviewed publication was in two papers by Manabe and Wetherald, in 1967). That's long enough for the predictions to be compared with measurements.
Guess what? Over fifty years, the theory is pretty well matching measurements.

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/climate-consensus-97-per-cent/2014/mar/19/global-warming-accurate-prediction-1972Anytime some authority insist that you give up freedom or money and the best they can do to justify it is to say, "It's complicated and you wouldn't understand, Trust Us", you know that something isn't right.
As it turns out, climate scientists have published extensive explanations of what they do, how they do it, how the models work, and all of the source code for their models. They don't say "trust us", they say "here's all the work we did, take a look at it."

Re:ARe:Yes really
Yeah, no.
I'm more convinced by the McKinsey analysis that RCA begins with than the rest of that article. And the Stiglitz report it links to doesn't prove what is claimed, at all.
That's not much of an argument.
A few points:
1) Adjusted Household Disposable Income and Actual Individual Consumption are widely acknowledged by people that have studied this to be superior indicators of material living conditions. GDP is a measure of domestic production, full stop. It is not and was never intended to be a measure of resources actually available to households and it is the household perspective that matters here. GDP is often used as a proxy for these types of measures in lieu of better data, but they're not the same and they can and do deviate quite significantly for a number of reasons.
2) When it comes to predicting national health expenditures and other health system characteristics, these measures, AIC and AHDI, fully mediate GDP in multiple regression and in multiple specifications (much the same if one subtracts HCE from these household measures).
3) CMS uses a close analog to AHDI, disposable personal income, as the dominant exogenous variable in their long-term projections because their research and theory suggest it's much superior as a predictor.
4) These measures are also much stronger predictors of essentially all other measures of living conditions (e.g., life expectancy, life satisfaction, satisfaction with financial conditions, poverty rates, access to clean water, etc). Indeed, if one sets about systematically comparing indicators from organizations like Social Progress Index, Gallup/WVS, Legatum, and others, at least 90% of these indicators have markedly higher r-squared with AIC than GDP. Likewise, in OLS, AIC clearly mediates GDP or, if one disaggregates GDP, the remaining components of GDP (e.g.,net exports, CFC, etc).
5) There is also tremendous consistency in consumption patterns if one looks at disaggregated SNA data by function (COICOP and the like). The patterns the US exhibits in consumption across individual categories/functions is highly consistent with its aggregate AIC, adjusted household disposable income, and so on. The US consumes much more of almost everything in real terms (especially those goods and services that are clearly elastic at a national level). It certainly consumes more in most categories than the handful of significant countries with higher GDP, so it can hardly be surprising that the US would also consume much more healthcare (one of the most elastic categories with respect to national income).
Note: These results are also consistent with what we find if we look at other sorts of more granular measures (e.g., number of rooms per capita, household possessions, private car ownership rates, frequency eating out, etc).

It started years ago, the concept of jails is pretty old in Unix, and Xpra started before 2014 (0.11 version), while Xephyr (& Xvfb) is(are) even older (and the fallback in case firejail can't find Xpra when asked to give protection for X11).
Integrate the ideas, make the system easier and we get a lot better than Wayland, with no rewrites, compatible out of the box, and should be possible to disable as needed.
But rewrites are better for job security. You can do them over and over if you can blame the need of a new one in something else.

Re:What's a good browser for 2018?
In 58 they put the graphics in a separate thread so rendering can potentially be done by a separate CPU. Here are the details: https://mozillagfx.wordpress.c...
One thing that some might have missed is that with 57 one can enable tracking protection (not just for private browsing) and that can have a significant impact on real world performance.

NATURAL WAYS TO GET RID OF VIRUS
ATTENTION PLEASE, Am so glad expressing my profound gratitude to a man that is so concerned about other people's well being. I was suffering from (HERPES SIMPLEX VIRUS) over 2years, i have spent thousands of dollars in buying expensive drugs and visiting several hospitals in different countries, i was really in sevael pain "until" one glorious morning, i read about Dr.Aziza on the internet on how he had helped and cured so many people suffering from HERPES 1$2, HPV, CANCER, HIV/AIDS, ALZHEIMER, FIBROID, ENLARGED PROSTATE, HEMORRHOIDS' PILE and HEART DISEASE ETC. So i contacted him through this Email: drazizahealthcare@gmail.com and i shared my problems with him, he gave me the healing procedure and i followed them. Two weeks later he told me to go for a medical test, behold the result was negative, now am (HERPES SIMPLEX VIRUS) free. I just want to use this platform to thank Dr.Aziza for curing me from that deadly virus and also for exposing his herbal cure to the world, please you can as well contact him at drazizahealthcare@gmail.com (or) visit his website https://drazizahealthcare.word... for solutions to your health problems... Thanks.

Re:Oh, I get it!
Oh by the way, I'm sure you also believe the story out of Canada where the muslim girl claimed someone "cut her hijab" and were salivating all over it as proof that those "evil right wingers" were out there. I'll also bet you didn't watch the press conference, let me give you a hint. Pay attention to her mothers eyes, always down and left, look, down and left. That's a known sign of remembering a fabrication. Oh, and of course, we can't forget that it didn't actually happen...but it sure didn't stop the left-wing media from really-really-really hoping it did. Then going on and on, about how it really doesn't matter that it didn't happen. Our moral progressive overlords are telling us that we're still bad people because of that fake hate-crime. Or our clusterfuck of a PM from really-really-really being stupid. Just like our Premier in Ontario, Kathlynn Wynne being shown just how progressive and modern Islam is, and how very accommodating of women it is. While she's made to sit in the back of the room, and also not allowed into the mosque proper.
So brave, so progressive. Just remember, menstruating girls go behind the rest of the girls because they're doubly unclean.

Re:What a waste of fine pussy.
Jass is a very attractive lady, I was very interested in dating her.
I guess beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, but c'mon:

Re:I thought this is about technology
To be fair Tesla's "marketing" strategy of selling cars with full self-driving capability since September 2016:
https://electrek.files.wordpre...
At the rate they are going a lot of people's leases will expire before they deliver the feature. Even Musk is saying 2020 now.
Selling technology that doesn't even exist and which you have no realistic prospect of delivering in the next few years is not a great marketing strategy. It's a recipe for lawsuits when people realize the paid $3000 for nothing.

Re:It's changed now, so don't bother trying it.
The password's been changed to "Warmingpoint3" now, so don't bother trying the old one, it won't work.

You're trying to attach the "r" to an "n". I'm pretty sure the password is "warningpoint2". You know, because this is an emergency management facility.

Korea - TV
When I was in Seoul a few years ago I was surprised to learn that almost all smartphones in Korea include an integrated TV tuner, complete with antenna.
This wasn't packet data carried over their data plans - This was OTA broadcast-TV.
You could see all these people commuting on the train watching broadcast TV - Even on flip-phones.
