BART has had automatic controls since it opened in the 70's. However they still have a driver on every train, except when some guy gets off and doesn't make it back on before the train leaves. Making the trains fully automated is estimated to save 10-20% of the operating costs.
No censoring is happening. By doing this they have ensured that every student in that class will go find the missing page and read it. The point is that we are in the internet age, not the dark ages. You can't hide information.
Under federal law it could be denied on grounds of national security with no other reason needed. There is no penalty on the federal level for needlessly classifying information.
... As a result, the country mobilized against the threat. Strong government action by the Bush administration outlawed the worst of these gases, and brilliant entrepreneurs were able to discover and manufacture new cleaner energy sources. As a result of these brave decisions, our emissions stabilized and are currently declining.
The chart you link to of CO2 emissions from 1990 to 2013 shows that they have risen 10% over that time. The only years in which they fell were during the economic recession. Since that was caused by Reagan/Bush deregulation policies is that what you are suggesting to combat climate change?
So, if like a liberal leaning newspaper decided to release the addresses of a group of conservative people because of a conservative issue, that would be a serious legal matter instead of freedom of the press?
You mean like printing the addresses of abortion doctors or printing pictures of gun control advocates on targets? I guess that's freedom of the press because I haven't seen anyone jailed for it.
That's a very good point. The reason for XLR (the language underlying Tao3D) was that we have to invent new languages all the time, not because we like to, but because existing languages are very bad at accepting something that is not already in their DNA. You could not get lambda functions in C++ until the language committee sat around a table, standardized it, and then all compiler vendors had to implement it. But if what you need is for example a notation for symbolic derivative, or a notation for slides, or a notation for a specific kind of for-loop, you are stuck. So progress in programming languages is very slow, because each language adds its own little features, but drops tons of other features that already exist in other languages.
The idea with XLR was to create a language where the fundamental process was extending the language. And Tao3D is an example of a relatively large scale domain-specific language (specifically around 3D and animations). Most of it is precisely in a library. But you wouldn't know from using it. It feels "native".
Common Lisp macros allow you to create complex language extensions which are not library functions. They perform as though they are built in. Before anyone writes a "new" language they should at least survey the already existing solutions.

We should outlaw puns. If you want to tell a pun to Princess Leia, you should have a Permit to Carrie.
Jesus, if I ever look at my life and think I have nothing better to do than be in work then I'm jumping off a cliff.
You need to try base jumping.
It's a shit acronym and using it makes one a dick. ;) Where are the impersonal Music Players?
Windows Media Player?
What engineering field is using differential equation, which don't already have computer model, on a daily basis ?
But my computer is 12 years old!
Actually, small surface-to-air missiles should be the all-American response to drones encroaching on flight paths. Has anybody looked into this yet?

Please cite an example of "removing" any science that disputes AGW. In fact, they tend to be pointed out, along with their serious flaws:

Is it ok if I keep my slate roof instead which has lasted about 100 years?

What a nitpicker. A shock absorber was specified. Just add a 100m layer of marshmallow peeps and it should be fine.
Selling the driver's license information and cat registration information is considered a revenue opportunity for states.

Maybe in California. We're a little less exuberant on the East coast.
Sometimes a slip is just a slip.
You are correct that Lisp was not designed for humans. It was designed for mathematicians.
Since Facebook's users lean Democrat, more of them voting will mean a shift towards Democratic politicians. I bet the Republicans will be pissed.
This is a democracy. Everyone has a right and obligation to vote. I urge all Republicans to go out and vote on Wednesday.

I believe that SSL keys are unique, too. It's math, not faith.
Good point. How long does it take to produce a new animal breed?
Domesticated silver foxes did not exist in 1959.
I was looking to improve some I/O performance by using aligned buffers and O_DIRECT and ran across this tirade from Torvalds:
