Presumably she fought against gamergate (is that the alt-right?),
Tricky to say. A lot of GG members seem pretty broadly left wing. They dislike the extremists who focus on identity politics though, and are more likely to see Republicans as people with political opinions they strongly disagree with, rather than evil.
As such it seemed like a reasonable alliance from the point of view of right wingers (including the alt-right) who are staunchly opposed to the identity politics extremists; and they can broadly get on board with a message of "journalistic ethics".
did she win?
Also hard to say. A lot of gamergaters say that all they wanted was disclosure of personal interest in articles. In this case GG won, but Wu wasn't opposed to that. I'm not sure what her view of GG's goal was. Presumably to prevent the number of female programmers going up to 8%... Not sure she's won here.
If the criticism is something along the lines of "While the 5 pillars of Islam are laudible, I feel that they do not adequately compensate for the rather outdated attitudes towards gender equality still held by a disproportionate number of Muslims" I'll largely agree with this. If it's "that woman with a burka might be working for the enemy because all Muslims may want to destroy our way of life" then I'll probably consider you a bigot.
My understanding is that this will be based on the Pre-reboot reality. We will certainly be seeing (mostly) new characters so it should feel a little more "Star Trek" than the movies.
It is going to be set shortly after the TOS era though, and this does still have its problems. There's a lot of established continuity that we're tied into; and Star Trek fans will remember every single throwaway line about Sarek, when we are meant to have encountered each race and so on.
No. I realise I'm using the jargon inaccurately, but the point is that the applications programmers will rarely use the Vulkan API as the programming interface. They'll use higher level libraries. The benefit of Vulkan is that the high level libraries can access the hardware without needing any specific details about the hardware. In other words, it abstracts the hardware.
Like it or not OpenGL is on its deathbed, it will still be supported going forward but Khronos has made it quite clear that Vulkan is the future.
No, it really isn't. Vulkan is a hardware abstraction layer more than an API. Really good for getting down and dirty with the hardware, but way too low level for actual practical use.
Obama could have signed a Pardon to reduce the 35 sentence to 34 years
I think most people would agree though, that that wouldn't really be in the spirit of the offer, and a tweet is not legally binding. Still, Obama certainly did offer clemency here.
But nobody expected him to actually stick by his word. He's a self aggrandising narcissist. The only people who still trust him at this stage are the sort of conspiracy nuts who think the WTC never even existed.
But it'd be interesting if he was extradited to the US, and then promptly extradited to Sweden.
Personally I'd find that hilarious. I can't see Assange turning himself in though. And in reality, I could at least see the US authorities wanting to question him regarding the leaks, if only for administrative reasons.
About 300, including Blu-rays and HD-DVDs. Also I have Netflix and Amazon Prime. My gf has a little over 1000, but there are a few duplicates in our collections.
I think the Amazon one is just a case of a poor format on the automated email. The question looks like it's going to you personally. People want to be helpful, or at least polite.
A large chunk of the economic benefits are to people who aren't buying tickets. It's profitable for the stare, but not for the railway line itself. Few railways are profitable in themselves.
Card counting isn't illegal anywhere is it? Nevada, it's explicitly legal (courts have rules so), Atlantic City doesn't even allow casinos to bar you for counting cards. Not sure what the rule is in Monte Carlo or other popular gambling resorts. Usually casinos simply deal with this by shuffling more often.
In any major project like this, there are a number of figures. One of them is a basic estimated cost, taking into account overruns of previous projects. Bridges typically cost X, track costs Y, tunnels cost Z.
But this is always an estimate. No major survey has been done. 50% of the time the project will be under this budget and 50% it will be over. It seems less because we rarely hear of projects completed on time and under budget. It's useful to work out how much it will cost on average because in aggregate, all major projects will work out fairly close to this.
We have a second estimate. Perhaps when we do more thorough surveys, we'll find that bridges need better foundations, or tunnels are going through some particularly difficult rock. We can estimate the probability here, and come up with a higher figure. This is a useful figure because it tells us how much we might conceivably need for this particular project, and gives us a point at which we know it's time to take action.
Since this is a federal risk analysis, I presume this is going to be as pessimistic as possible. The point of these analyses is to identify where things might go wrong, after all.
So yes, it could cost that much. But is anyone - aside from the usual negative spin the media loves to put on major infrastructure projects - suggesting it actually will?
California is 97, with large sparsely populated areas between major cities, all of which are pretty much in a row. The state is ideally suited for a Y shaped network from LA to SF and Sacremento
"In October 2016 the CEO of Mylan testified to Congress that Pfizer/King charged Mylan about $34.50 for one EpiPen. The devices deliver about $1 worth of drug"
Honestly that seems quite a lot still, but I put that down to market inefficiencies.
Getting three screens to fold down into an efficient form factor, is either trivial or it will have been patented. In this case, the technology is freely available from the patent office, and unusable without paying royalties.
He may well be a bigot. But the line is taken very much out of context.
What Trump is saying is that a lot of the people arriving here aren't the hard working immigrants after a better life that many on the left want us to believe. Some of them are actually criminals. A disproportionate amount of them are.
Now, he may well be wrong. I don't know if he is or not. But nobody gives a shit about the actual point he's making because it's so much easier to quote just that one line and dismiss him as a bigot.
But Trump's supporters know what he's saying. They realise that the people who say "look see!!! See! SEEE!!!!! He's a BIGOT!!!!" completely failed to understand this simple point, despite their fancy college education. So not only are they failing to address the point. They're discrediting themselves so they're no longer taken seriously when they do have a point to make.
David Davis is a little bit of an oddity here. He is typically very much on the right wing, anti-EU side of the party, but he is extremely strongly in favour of human rights protections.
This was "The Data Retention and Investigatory Powers Act 2014". A piece of emergency legislation in order to provide a short term framework for security services to actually be able to actually do anything after a repeal of the earlier legislation for similar reasons. This will expire a week on Saturday.
It will be replaced by the Investigatory Powers Act 2016. Perhaps this ruling will be used as a precedent for challenges to the latest bill.

Yeah... Realised that I got that wrong sometime after posting.

Even then, it's worthless.
Getting three screens to fold down into an efficient form factor, is either trivial or it will have been patented. In this case, the technology is freely available from the patent office, and unusable without paying royalties.
How would that even work?
You can put them pretty much anywhere though. The countries that like this have a decent amount of pretty worthless land - Deserts and the like.

And people wonder how Trump won.
He didn't.
But hey, fake news is only fake when we disagree with it, right.

Iran especially is going to be the problem here. They've invested a fair chunk of their non-trivial oil income into technology advancement.
It could be useful. But the bots are still going to be hijacked PCs. Still breaking the law by using other peoples devices without their consent.
This is more about offshore wind farms. Which, granted, is an area in which the US is substantially behind the UK.
I guess, a windy country surrounded by water is in a much better position for heavy investment here.
