If this was an OD due to illegal drugs, then it's likely that it wouldn't have occurred if the drugs were simply legal. You cannot "know your dose" with illegal drugs because you: 1. don't know what drug it really is at all; 2. don't know the concentration or purity. The best way to reduce ODs would be to legalize everything, then all the info on how to dose and minimize adverse health consequences could be kept out in the open.
The thing with speed balls (cocaine plus heroin) is to maximize the rush while minimizing the side effects. This is a never ending race to OD. Many heroin users have died due to unknowingly using uncut drugs, Janice Joplin, etc. But speed balls are another beast all together.
They are not going to be sending people starting in 2018. The 2018 trip, if it actually happens, will be an unmanned demonstration flight. I'm not sure how realistic the whole idea is but I'll wait to see if they actually do that unmanned trip before getting excited about Mars One.
They will disappear with the money long before then.
When I worked at ABN/AMRO, I would pass the locked ATM machine engineering room, and wonder what could happen if one of these people was fired. Now we know.
Yeah, let's tone down the hysteria a notch now, shall we?
Mr Ulbricht admitted to committing a crime, by facilitating the buying and selling of drugs on the Internet. Wrong move, but let us set this aside for a moment.
Not a crime for the DHS/CIA. They get away with that shit all the time.
Bullshit. Even the US government doesn't deny that children were burned to death. They do deny their culpability, but it isn't terribly hard to see that as misdirection.
Even if the footage (which I watched on live TV at the time) of the tank pushing in the walls and the fire starting not to long afterwards was misleading, the government were the ones with all the resources and time necessary to handle the situation in a safer way. They decided that their time was worth more than the risk to the children and that's the best possible light you can put on the government's actions, all other interpretations are much less favorable.
Hundreds of guns, several agents shot and possibly dead. Agreed the ATF was heavy handed, but it was quite understandable in that situation.
There's a simpler explanation than bribery: What's the average age of a US Senator? 57 years old. Average. Google to them is like space aged rocket science. Never attribute to malice that which can be explained by stupidity. A lot of the government's actions can be explained by simple senility -- these people aren't just out of touch with society, in many cases they're in a phase of life marked by significant decline in cognitive reasoning, and studies have been done suggesting that the elderly are far more trusting than they should be due to biochemical changes in the brain.
I have always hated the term ageism, but damn it man, you are truly a bigot. What older folks have is experience and learning that the young simply do not. People are not born wise, it is something that comes with long years of trial and error, good time and bad, wrong decisions and lucky ones. I could just as easily say that the folks over 50 are the only ones I would trust to make political decisions because they remember when college education was a right not a privilege, when the US had goals and aspirations that did not involve the military, racism was forcibly lessened in the deep south, etc. etc. When things were truly different, and how bad things are right now. So stop crying like a baby, and try to learn from your elders. One day some people may look up to you. As to politicians, they were scum bags when young and just as scummy when old, so they can go fuck themselves.
This is going to put all those "Cash for Your Stolen Phone" places out of business. I guess we'll just have to make due with the "Cash for Your Stolen Gold" places.
At this point, I think it's inevitable that spying will be a central issue in the 2016 Presidential election, and neither party will dare to defend the status quo.
How about I take that bet. Neither party will willing bring up spying, and will quickly change the subject when asked any such questions.
Exactly. Everyone should take a daily multivitamin to get 100% of what they need. No one should take 5000% of anything. There is a reason that we define a 100%. More is not better. Especially Vitamin A, which can kill you.
China holds a huge amount of our debt. They want us to buy their stuff and to borrow money from them. Why cripple our economy? Or, even worse, why do something like this that will point a finger back to them and stir up the pot against them? (and possibly lad to embargos, and so on)
Because things like debt only matter to those that play the game of capitalism. Let me put this another way, IT IS NOT REAL. Any government can change their economy, privatize banks, redefine the value of money, take money from one sector and put it into another. Look, it's all just a game. What America fears most is for the world to stop playing its game, which is why we have such a huge military.
There is no proof we have actually been domesticating cats as petting animals for more than a few hundred years. Until the 19th century or so, these were just semi-wild animals that got access to our barns and homes to kill rodents, but they would claw you the moment you tried to touch them.
Please mod this back down to oblivion. How about medieval paintings of young children holding their pet cats? How about egyptian art of cats at the feet of the kings or priests? Any cat that is cold will find someplace warm to sleep, which is why laps are often chosen. Cats chose the people, not the other way around.
Sounds like this is just big enough to power a huge data center or corporate campus. So this is probably not a plant for the average citizen, but one to make power cheaper for corporate users. No surprise. It helps Google get cheap power, while we keep paying for coal and gas.
The fundamental principle of capitalism is "good* companies succeed, bad companies fail". Without that, capitalism breaks down.
If a company is "too big to fail", that breaks capitalism. No company should ever get to such a position (even if it gets there legitimately), because when it does eventually fail, it's going to do too much damage.
Teddy Roosevelt knew this. But this was before our current religion of capitalist economics. People actually think that Wall Street is required to keep the economy going, whatever that means. It's pretty bizarre.
Being a native Chicagoan, I think people are misinterpreting the situation. Someone on the school board has set up a sweet kick back deal with a PC vendor, possibly their cousin, and needs to come up with a justification for increased spending. So they invented some BS programming class which will be a complete failure, but their cousin will make out like a bandit selling hardware and software. And, yes, this money would be better spent on desks and text books.
Of course, by "everyone" he means the only people that count... rich people.
Not even. Only a small segment of rich people. Their only joy is getting richer than the guys in the other business segments, like Hollywood verses Big Oil.
How do you make that comparison? Just a few months ago JP Morgan was fined $14Billion by US and UK regulators for its involvement in various dealings leading up to the crash. So far, nearly $100Billion in fines has been handed out across the US and EU for suspect deals that contributed to the financial climate prior to the crash.
Make $15 billion illegally and pay back $14 billion of that? I will take that kind of fine any day.

For the MAC, you could install xrdp which provides the same protocol to access linux/osx.
And you would get an X session on the Mac. Not too useful. VNC seems to be the preferred choice in the real world.

The foolish arrogance of geeks is sometimes astounding.
Aspergers sociopathic narcissists pretty much run the tech industry, so what's the issue?

No wonder Cheney moved Halliburton to Dubai. After 8 years in office, this is what he always wanted the US to be.

Let's see if Gates can outdo this. So far Bill's "philanthropy" has been a joke.
It sounds like they just invented analog.
Normal development cycle. What is the story here? That iOS 7 is successful?
Harvard, sociopath, criminal. That is some megacorporation's new CEO.
yeah, and those that don't get a balanced diet?
Exactly. Everyone should take a daily multivitamin to get 100% of what they need. No one should take 5000% of anything. There is a reason that we define a 100%. More is not better. Especially Vitamin A, which can kill you.

But that is a much more catchy headline than simply stating that they probably used binary math for some things.
