Re:Answer
As someone who briefly worked on a PS3 C++ compiler my colleagues would love to joke:
There are 2 problems with C++:
1. It's design, and
2. It's implementation.On a more serious note when you even have committee members acknowledging they only use a sub-set of the language, then maybe, just maybe the language is too freaking complex.
Other committee members admit there are many problems with iostreams
C++ has become over-engineered.
If the C++ would deprecate crap such as
long long
and other verbosity then maybe the language would become simpler.

Don't forget the myth, the legend, the Magnasanti!
Magnasanti 6 million residents, life span is only 50 years. A harsh existence:
Quote:
"The ironic thing about it is the sims in Magnasanti tolerate it. They don't rebel, or cause revolutions and social chaos. No one considers challenging the system by physical means since a hyper-efficient police state keeps them in line. They have all been successfully dumbed down, sickened with poor health, enslaved and mind-controlled just enough to keep this system going for thousands of years. 50,000 years to be exact. They are all imprisoned in space and time."Interview with the creator of the perfect simcity Magnasanti.

So cool
I hope this isn't taken the wrong way or offends anyone, but I think turbans are extremely cool. I play music with a Sikh dude and always envy his headgear. If you think about all the cultural & religious headwear for men in the world, why are white American men so badly shortchanged? I can either wear a Carhartt mesh back trucker cap and look like someone who pimps out his little sister for meth or a flat-brim baseball cap and look like a gangbanger. Or, I can wear a fedora and look like some skeevy YouTube PUA or a knit skully and look like a hipster. Bowler hats or top hats are not really me, you know? What's left? A North African kufi hat is kind of slick, but what I really want to wear is a turban. I've dug them since I was a kid and saw stuff like this:

There's a rich history of cool musicians wearing turbans. Dr Lonnie Smith, Screamin' Jay Hawkins, even Professor Longhair was known to show up in a turban. I once saw the Fabulous Thunderbirds live and harmonica player extraordinaire Kim Wilson came out in a pair of RayBans and an electric blue turban. Dammit, I want to wear a turban too.

Re:Pay the musicians even less?!?!
We are going to need compulsory licensing and reasonable payments to right holders.
Not to "right holders", but to artists.
Limit copyrights on recorded music to 25 years and don't let them be assignable to anyone but the artist (maybe a spouse). Not children, not publishing companies, not record labels.
If I listen to Charlie Parker records, why should I be paying license fees to anyone? Every single person associated with that recording and the music therein is dead. Earlier tonight, I was listening to Dizzy Gillespie, Charlie Parker and Al Haig's recording of "Shaw 'Nuff" which was recorded 70 years ago today. Why shouldn't that entire recording be in the public domain? I'll pay a company to stream it, no problem. But why should any "rights" money change hands?

Re:One small problem
In 2014 1100 (http://www.killedbypolice.net/kbp2014.html) people were killed by police in the US - now a lot of those were the police acting in self defense or the police acting to defend others. In 2014 127 (https://www.odmp.org/search/year?year=2014) police were killed in the US - note the police numbers count "police dogs" as "police officers" yet we aren't counting all the dogs shot by police and it includes single vehicle car crashes, training accidents, and heart attacks.
Since every interactions with the police by definition involves the police and another person (possible multiple police, possibly multiple other people of course), it would appear that the other person is orders of magnitude more likely to be killed than the police officer. So why is it the cop who gets to scared about the interaction?
And yes if you say "yes sir! how high sir?" things will probably work out fine. But the entire damn topic is videoing the police and having them tell you to stop and hand over the camera so they can delete it. "It's OK, just comply with their illegal orders and you won't get shot" isn't a a great solution to that situation.
You said "The ones who died at the hands of the cops are
And yes the unarmed guy is always going for the officers weapon. At least until the video comes out showing that surprise surprise the police lied. Though I guess your "just do what you are told and don't video the police when they tell you not to" solution does solve that video coming out part.
And of course people with lots of history with law enforcement and legal troubles are the ones who mostly get killed - they are the ones who interact with the police the most after all. They're more likely to run into the "bad apple".
Todays video for someone with a long history of crime is https://youtu.be/v2NzFq-81uA?t... - I guess you'll have to change "do what they say" to "do what they say fast" but then again you are also supposed to "not make any sudden movements" - damned if you get on the ground fast, damned if you do so slowly I guess...

Just organize these events regularly and you'll smoke out the crazy jihadists.
Organise a "draw Jesus sodomizing Mary" contest in Texas and you'll get crazy Christian jihadists doing the same thing. If you set up an event specifically designed to insult/offend/antagonise a particular religion, you're always going to get a response like this from someone.

Re:Time
I think the place they will dominate first (and next, I guess) is motorcycles. The only thing missing from most current electric motorcycles is top speed.
Prepare for major E-cycle-gasm. 140 miles per charge highway, 230 city. Full charge time 1 hour. Insanely fast.
Even this one is reportedly quite fast, and being a replica of a "light cycle" from the movie "Tron", it *should* come with a gold-plated Nerd Card included.
They also makes more cosmetically-conventional (and affordable/practical) models as well.

Re:...What?
Absolute nonsense. Can you point to a "consumer" application of these ICs...in 1964? Rubbish. There was already a very large and healthy market for ICs for industrial and military computers, like the Minuteman guidance computer.
Space was a small blip on the landscape, and with or without Apollo we'd have the same technology now."without which PCs would not have reached the volume that drove the prices far lower"
And people wonder where I got the idea of the "Space Nutter"?

Re:Can't wait to get this installed in my house
And they almost certainly won't remain constant.
When I switched away from my oil heating system, I miscalculated the huge surge in oil prices, so my ROI was insanely short.
Same with having a fuel efficient vehicle - I'm spending about a car payment less a month on gasoline than the folks who just have to have guzzlers.
Prices for established energy sources very seldom go down over the long term.
I am one of those "gas guzzler drivers". I love my big truck...
Last night I watched a Head 2 Head video from MotorTrend
Pitting a Tesla P85D against a Dodge Charge Hellcat...
I have to admit, the Tesla looked like fun. It isn't a sports car, but it wasn't meant to be one, but it sure seemed to have some fun driving experiences...
I think one of my objections to EVs is that they are all cars or little mini CUVs.
If Tesla could make a Suburban an EV that was fun to drive and cost about what current Suburban's cost, I might consider one.
I wouldn't have said that a year ago. So EVs are warming up to me... except for their cost...
The P85D in that video is $132K! That is nuts. As he says in the video, if you own both cars for 20 YEARS, you're still $1,000 ahead in total cost driving to the Dodge and buying gas as compared to the Tesla. (Maintenance might be closer than you think, the Dodge's engine should still be good in 20 years, the Tesla will need a new battery pack for $35k in that time)

So Elon, get on it, make me a full size EV SUV for $75K with a 250 mile range!

Re:truly an inspiration.
In many ways Anita Sarkeesian is asking for what she's getting. The rape/death threats are uncalled for, but she basically goes around slapping the misogyny label on everything and anything, even when there isn't, and it's just fucking annoying.
For example, she railed against Fox for canceling Terminator: Sarah Conner Chronicles and renewing Dollhouse, when the first is supposedly empowering females and the later isn't. I'm a huge fan of the Terminator franchise, but that show was so lame I couldn't even watch past the first episode. The writing sucked terribly, and the actors totally failed to live up to their characters from the movies, making the show a total let-down, so how does that make it misogynistic to cancel it?
Further, this whole tropes vs women thing is super exaggerated. I remember one time looking at Japanese animation and wondering why all of the characters looked white and not Asian/Japanese. When you look at the history of it, you notice that it isn't because their culture favors being white (like China currently does in many places,) because it still looked that way even during the WWII days when Japan saw themselves as a supreme race/culture and the white people were just a bunch of incompetents that they'd easily conquer in the coming years. It turns out that all human beings draw a mental picture of what the "default human" is, and for Japanese cartoons the default human *is* Asian. So when they draw a cartoon, they don't put much thought into it other than to make it look like a person. Think like how the Simpsons draws their characters as yellow, but in your mind you're thinking "white family." Anyways to the Japanese, white people have big noses, so when they draw people who are supposed to be white, you always see pronounced noses in the artwork, because it's the token "white feature." It's not racist, it's just saying: See this guy? He's white, so you know, you now have a better mental picture of what kind of character he is.
Likewise, with just about everybody in the world, the "default human" is a male. This is even true of female gamers. So when the creator of Pac-Man wanted to show that Mrs. Pac-Man was a female, what does he do? Attaches a token of Japanese girls to her, in this case, a bow. The purpose of the bow is just to say: This is a female, so now you have a better mental picture of what kind of character she is. He had no intention at all of trying to be sexist. (And this isn't even getting into the limits of what you are able to do with those low resolution sprites.)

Re:They should be doing the opposite
That can be a driving factor but even if they copyright expires publishing of said materials can still continue. There are plenty of free domain books that get sold by major publishers that make money. It's not like the money train has to stop once copyright has expired. Live performances of music and so on can generate lots of income.
The way that releasing copyright in a reasonable amount of time can help creativity is that people could use the beat track and write new lyrics. They could pull out samples and work them into other derivative works as well. Full covers could be done in a different tempo and style that would be new and exciting. As an example https://youtu.be/m3lF2qEA2cw it's the same but totally different at the same time.
Locking in copyright over a long period of time can stifle creativity.
The problem with a short copyright on music is this though. You have a new and upcoming band who hasn't had a breakthrough. They produce an awesome song or sound and it's just not caught on yet. Some major label finds it after it's gone past it's copyright and hands it over to one of the artists they have commissioned they produce it and make millions while the original creator of the content is stuck with a thumb up their nose wondering why the hell do they even bother. In that sense a low copyright on music and other materials can be harmful to the creator. Cutting a good balance is hard, but 70 years is way too long and so is 50 for that matter. Something that would give a 20 year old a good shot would be nice, say 10-20 years somewhere in there. That would be good for everyone. New artists could use the material that basically influenced them as a kid and the artists music has usually ran it's course by then. 3 years is too short.

Re:Idiots
Since you imply strongly that you have watched Anita's videos, you are officially a liar. Unless of course you've never actually watched them which still would make you a liar because you have no idea what you're talking about. Confirmed ideological sinner.
-
Re:Wonderful.
If you combine all things that she deems unacceptable in her videos then all things are unacceptable. There is no way to create a character that Anita deems acceptable if her "tropes" are combined. This leaves only one avenue to have characters that are met her approval: her individual judgment granting you an exception for some arbitrary reason. The reason her videos are bullshit is precisely that: it's the most long-winded way imaginable to say "all things are oppression of women unless I say so. 'Donate' to me through one of these many avenues (whisper whisper...and I'll endorse something of yours as being not sexist by my moral authority whisper whisper!)" Too bad Anita's endorsement doesn't actually sell more games. Cue the dismissal from the radical Internet feminazi peanut gallery in 3, 2, 1...

Re:Idiots
Are you just making this shit up?
Why not Google it and find out? That's what I did - took 10 seconds.

Golddiggers of 1933, Out of the Past
It's probably a good thing that companies like Netflix are making good original programming, but I've noticed that their catalog of classic films has shrunk significantly.
What I really want is a service like Netflix that is more Spotify-like, with an enormous catalog of old films, classic foreign films, art films, shorts, animation, etc.
I guess the fact that copyright trolls are scrambling to take old movies out of the public domain and congress has seen fit to extend copyright to ridiculous lengths makes that a problem. So even though I subscribe to Netflix, I find myself looking to torrent sites and the Internet Archive to scratch my film noir, King Vidor, Vittorio De Sica and Busby Berkely itch. Because sometimes Jack Lemmon and Catherine Deneuve in "The April Fools" or Lee J Cobb in John Boorman's "Point Blank" is just what the movie doctor ordered. Sometimes, a creepy-as-hell Richard Widmark in the 1953 Sam Fuller classic, "Pickup on South Street" is preferable to watching Ryan Gosling try to create an expression on his face.
Hell, a little while ago, I just wanted to sit back and enjoy the 1973 blaxploitation classic, "The Mack" and learned that Netflix doesn't have it available for streaming (but you can get a DVD if you still use that legacy format). I mean, what the fuck. Who's gonna mess with physical media and snail mail just to watch a movie? Not only that, but they don't carry "Trouble Man" at all, and that has one of the greatest soundtracks ever by Curtis Mayfield.
In case you aren't familiar with cinematic masterpiece "The Mack", here's the scene where Goldy and Pretty Tony face off. Check the very young Richard Pryor: https://youtu.be/sdR_t5nsZqI
I'm spoiled because back in my university days, I worked as a projectionist at a revival house for seven years and got the most thorough education in film history one could ever hope for. But some of you younger folks might not know what came before The Avengers and Fast and Furious 7, and that makes me sad. Hell, the 1970s were a veritable golden age for independent films and hardly anybody gets to see those movies today. Even the "classic movie" channels on cable only play the same top forty old movies over and over again, never digging deep into back catalogs. There is so much cinema to be discovered. Don't fear the black and white or silent.
