More seriously, I hope we get to 137 while all the researchers who want to name it Feynmanium (Fy) are still alive. He certainly deserves it, plus he published a paper about that element and the problem it posed for theory at the time. (For those who don't know, 137 is a special number to physicists - half of them probably have it as the combination to their briefcases - it's from the fine structure constant, and shows up all over the place).
This sounds like a short-distance plane, not a normal light plane. Electric, V/STOL, automated so there's no real skill required. Sounds useful to me as long as it can safely land in a parking lot.
Doesn't sound feasible to me, but then self-driving cars didn't either 5 years ago.
The difference being that when left unattended, the photocopiers, printers, and people's fingers don't walk around under the command of someone halfway around the world, find secret documents, copy them, and mail them off to the person controlling them.
Actually, most photocopiers support all of that functionality these days. I could only hope they'll be turning off internet access for the copiers as well, but you never know.
You do realise access to kat is via tor, you're torrents aren't right?
This is pretty important for those hoping to hide from the MPAA. You will be torrenting in the open, not over TOR. This is just a way to reliably find KAT despite ISPs trying BS with DNS and other blocking.
Neither of which is an excuse to pirate games. If you pirate because you're a broke-ass student, that's surely a minor sin, but don't invent excuses.
No demo? Watch a "let's play". Doesn't work on your system, or tried it and it was total crap? Steam refund. Really want to "back up" games (as if your backups will outlive Steam - mine haven't)? Buy from GOG.
Personally, I just don't buy full-price games (I think the only game over $20 I've bought in the last 10 years was Doom). AAA games are mostly crap anyway, and there are plenty of great titles in the $5-10 range on Steam and GOG, especially during sales. Steam refunds make it easy for me to take a risk.
One of the most prominent Leave campaigners claimed that staying in the EU risked women being raped by Muslims yesterday.
That's obviously true. Will more than 0 women be raped by immigrants? Yes, obviously. How important that is is subjective, of course.
But of course, the most important fact about the immigration debate in the UK (and to a lesser extent in the US), is that each side only talks about the other side's plan, while neither side actually puts forth a number of immigrants per year they think is best, nor any sort of plan to limit immigration to that number. Neither side apparently has any concrete plan, but both sides are sure the other side's plan is wrong.
mostly justifiable warnings about economic ruin if we leave.
The economic question is more interesting: if you believe the EU will drain the wealthier nations, then collapse entirely, then the UK should leave; otherwise leaving seems quite negative. That's one heck of an open question, with many trillions of (whatever currency) in bonds as the stakes in that bet.
Yes, but the social consensus is that, if you do that, you're the one in the wrong, not the person pictured. And that's all the difference in the world.
Plus, that sort of thing is unlikely to surface when an employer 10 years from now googles your name. You're college drunken revelry won't follow you.
Civil War. Before that the War of Independence was rather more successful. These things are more than "a bunch of guys with rifles", they're "a core of armed ex-military who seize armories early".
It takes a lot for people to move beyond voting - heck, few enough issues will move people to actually vote - but outright theft of the life savings of about half of America (the half that have life savings) might do it.
The kids are mostly on SnapChat now. SnapChat solves the problem of having something you posted 5 years ago come back to haunt you. I'm glad to see a younger generation starting to care about privacy again.
You're still assuming that the government won't just seize the retirement funds. It's happened in plenty of countries before, but don't take an AC's word for it, look it up.
Meh, there are enough armed Americans with 401Ks to dissuade that approach (and it would come to that).
TFA didn't suggest case-insenstive, but rather "caps lock on" and "first letter unintentionally capitalized". That costs 2 bits of password entropy, not bad.
But really, case insensitive doesn't cost you that many bits of entropy for most passwords.
Under capitalism, the rich become politically powerful. This is bad.
Under socialism, the politically powerful become rich. This is worse.
Under feudalism, the militarily powerful become both politically powerful and rich. This is about as bad as it gets.
Sure would be nice if we had a new idea that was better than capitalism, but we know that idea doesn't involve a powerful central authority because that's the thing that is inevitably corrupted.
That's just a problem with how 401Ks are structured, not with the concept. The concept: you become wealthy by accumulating stocks and bods in your own name over your lifetime. That's better, far better than being dependent on an employer or government for life-or-death checks in the mail.
However, to be a safety net, it needs to follow widely accepted retirement planing advice, which makes the stock market crashing the year before you retire a non-issue.
Pension costs are crippling most state and local governments these days. I don't know what's behind the USPS deal, but I know the solution: outlaw pensions. 401Ks are good enough for all of us peasants that work in the private sector, and they're good enough for our ruling class (and their servants) too.
Why would Microsoft let you play Xbone "console exclusive" games on any generic Windows 10 PC, especially when those games can be pirated much more easily on PC?
MS doesn't care about how many XBones sell, they care about how many people are able to play XBox games. It's always the games that are the main source of revenue. Even better if they no longer needed to pay Steam a cut for console ports!
Better version: let it run in the wild, but let it slip that this is the simulation, and only by behaving well will it get to live in the real world. Sort of how Christianity works.
where you don't get rich being a doctor, you still have people becoming doctors.
But not the same people. I'd really like the smartest guy to be my heart surgeon, not the software developer working next to me.
Big Pharma also does a lot less damage in countries with national health, where they don't have the assistance of a massive and entrenched health insurance industry.
If you don't want any future wonder drugs, feel free to abolish the incentive to spend a fortune researching them.
Outlook.com doesn't suck. FF is still usable. DuckDuckGo for search, of course. Not much of an alternative to Android, but I have a faint hope that if I don't use Google services the information harvesting will be minimal.
For me, though, YouTube is sticky. Nothing else really in it's niche, and I find that quite annoying. Network effect I guess.
Yup, "move off Oracle" projects dominate consulting these days, and almost no one chooses Oracle for new projects, though PeopleSoft still has some uptake (and even there almost nothing has improved in the 11 years since Oracle bought them).
Oracle's maybe a bad example, though, given the heroic lengths they go to to annoy their customers.
The jury decides whatever it decides. It can be totally in the face of all the evidence presented. You can make the odds in your favor if you have a good presentation, but there on no guarantees. Now, you pay $10,000,000 if you lose. Up for that? 95% chance you'll win your $5000 or whatever in damages, 5% chance you'll lose everything. Not a good system.
There's some advantage to "loser pays the lesser of the two sides legal costs", but that does nothing to curtail serial abusers, as they never hire lawyers. There's more advantage to "judges bitchslap serial abusers".
You have a lot more operators to define, plus you want an implicit conversion from int, plus you'll need a pragma on some platforms to suppress 8-byte alignment for structs, plus you'll need that other thing you didn't think about. I guess it's possible, but it's hardly the sort of thing you'd want to do on the fly for each type you use.
