I find it humorous that most of your stabs st offense missed the mark: I have no kids, make good money, and was raised on a farm. Regardless, it's a strangely nihilistic and incredibly selfish view that one owes no duty to future generations or the species in general. Are you really this misanthropic or just an internet poser?
If we lived in a society where 80% of the population could afford to go more than 2 months without pay and be able to pay rent and eat we could call it a lifestyle choice, but it's hardly a choice now. Moreover, reproduction is a critical function for our species to survive so I think it merits more social consideration than a typical hobby.
What? how is Flynn lying to the FBI about discussions with Russia about sanctions not 'anything at all to do with Trump or his campaign'?
Besides, why tarnish your credibility defending these criminals? The worst is yet to come, unless you think that Manafort's upcoming trial where he's being tried for not registering as a foreign agent is going to go much better for him. Given the publicly known information about Manafort emailing a Russian oligarch - to whom he owed many millions of dollars - asking how the oligarch might be 'made whole' via his position on the campaign and other similarly damning facts, I wouldn't bet on it. That doesn't necessarily point to Trump, but it certainly does point to his campaign.
As always, reality is more complicated. US houses are not all glass and no-one has a concrete IT blockhouse (STUXNET anyone?). I see utility in small scale IT brush-backs. It's all part of the espionage chess match.
Do you really think a team of extremely smart and dedicated scientists and engineers would invest much of their lives building and refining a machine if the answers they seek were simply trivia?
Here are some of the question they are hoping to get a better answer on source:
This is what we expect to happen with sources of heat: The farther away we are from the center of the flame, the cooler it becomes. But this doesn’t happen with the biggest, baddest fire in the solar system, our sun.
The surface of the sun is around 10,000F; its atmosphere, the corona, is around 2 million degrees, about 200 times hotter. It’s like if an airplane took off from ground level where it was 60F, and then reached a cruising altitude where it was 12,000F. It sounds preposterous. And the plane would melt.
Scientists call this weird phenomenon the “coronal heating” problem, and it has been stumping them for decades. In the early 1940s, scientists determined that one of the elements in the corona was a form of iron that had been stripped of 13 of its electrons, and it takes a massive amount of energy, in the form of heat, to pull electrons away from an atom of iron. But really, the mystery stretches back even further: When scientists first detected the iron in the 1860s, they mistook it for an entirely new element they dubbed “coronium.”
The coronal heating problem is just one of three interrelated mysteries the Parker Probe will collect data on in hopes of solving.
Another mystery is solar wind. This “wind” is composed of particles of matter being shot out from the sun’s corona in all directions. These particles get accelerated to speeds of millions of miles per hour, and no one knows exactly how. (Solar wind is why we have aurora borealis and aurora australis — the northern and southern lights — at our poles. Earth’s magnetic field deflects the wind particles to the poles, where they collide and ionize in a brilliant light show.)
Last is the mystery of coronal mass ejections. These are the sudden explosions of plasma and particles that spew from the sun and could potentially knock out power grids on Earth. We don’t completely understand the physics of these explosions; nor can we predict when and where they will happen (and if Earth will be in the crosshairs).
They may be sharper minds, but they don't have what they need to be a programmer. One counter-anecdote: my wife is from the humanities and is one of the smarter people I know (certainly smarter than me) and she is being forced to learn python to code for her genetics analysis.
I've spent a fair bit of time attempting to instill some of the fundamentals of programming (separation of concerns, types, organization of code, ) While she's learned enough to get things done, every task is a new exploration of how far you can get before you have to backtrack to the fundamentals (IE: this loop is taking 5 hours, is this something I should expect?). To her credit, her code is documented extremely well, but she has near zero code reuse (copy and modify constantly) and the giant expanse of code and metadata that's not under version control gives me twitches thinking about. She doesn't enjoy the important minutia of coding syntax and debugging, nor patient with the poor documentation of online examples. She hates when instructions are not being extremely explicit about every single step required for someone without a background in the field.
I don't think any of these are unique experiences for someone being forced to start anew in programming, and I think they represent way more than 1/5 of what a programmer does day to day.
There also zero barriers of entry to the search market.
Of course, that's not remotely true. The bandwidth and storage required to actively trawl and index the web is non-trivial, and that's not including the R&D or licensing costs to get search algorithms on parity with google. And even if you could look up the algorithm in an expired patent library, having 40,000 active searches per second combined with well over a decade of historic data to help you refine your results simply can't be simulated.
Does a driver's license give one the right to be able to run over another person at the press of a pedal? Yes, but the principal at stake is that of freedom and liberty. The second amendment enables some means of combating intrusions to a free society (though the means are feeling increasingly quaint, similar to the freedom of the press).
That seems like a fine policy for a simple function, but at some point the number of parameters gets unweildy, leads to much repetition, and is error prone. Something like a class method is unavoidable.
Not to mention a free double team on a full court press defense would be devastating. It would have to be a very short penalty or it would make the game play extremely conservative.
I respect 538 and I am a subscriber to their politics podcast, but I don't find that article persuasive, especially in this context. Having a preference doesn't make one not indpendent.
Did this poll with the 90% repub. approval suss out 'republican leaning' independents and lump them in? It's asinine to make every conversation about politics dichotomous when the largest fraction of the population doesn't strongly identify either way, even if they have a preference, and dramatically over-represents the opinions of hard--liners.
I don't know why we talk about Republican and Democratic percentages so much. 42% of the population identifies as a independent, and since affiliation is not static why even bother comparing over timespans

Sorry pal, that's tubs to you. (or at least I thought it was, till I checked and saw that we've gotten over our margarine kick and are trailing western Europe in butter consumption)

Thre's value in having mindshare, but I think the open source community should be careful about how much it embraces/affiliates itself with a walled garden approach to an OS, even if it significantly incorporates the linux kernel. Hell, windows 10 runs a 'linux subsystem' now. Most users on android phones have no root access to their systems and have a myriad of corporate entities tracking and controling their every move with applications they can't uninstall, which seems very much unlike what I perceive most Linux users to value.
I wrote a 'simple' app to roast coffee for a niche coffee roaster on Android. Probably 150 hours of work. Subsequently Google has changed the way background services run twice, completely killing my app. I have made a total of $20 for my work, and I'm hard pressed to figure out how to sing and dance for Google to respect their tyrannical battery saving requirements for an app that needs constant communication over USB for 15 minutes, even as a hobby passion. Where did I go wrong?
Many of us had to buy a mac mini in order to have the required mac device in our toolchain for mobile development, and that useless toy was the most cost-effective way to pay that tax. For that reason I'm glad they offered a low-budget option.
Yes, and he has personally stated why. He didn't do it to hurt Clinton, he did it because he assumed she was going to win and thought it would help her to deal with this before her coronation.
I'd say that's the least-gracious way to read that. My take is that he didn't think it would be a game-changer for the outcome, and that if the news came out after the election that the'd re-opened the investigation it would undermine the legitimacy of the election (IE, the deep state covering up for Hillary). Moreover, at the time the word on the street was that that folks inside the FBI were going to leak it if Comey didn't speak up, so his hand was forced either way.
To be fair, any decently advanced AI is going to surprise us by predicting what we'll talk about before we know it, once they have enough data (IE, comparative persons in our same demographic that watch the same news, get the same ads, read the same magazines, etc). Expect this apparent 'snooping' to get much, much worse.
1) trade off data integrity vs flexibility
2) trade off scalability vs complex on-demand aggregation/calculation
3) many decent languages aren't really great at security, but nearly databases offer a wide range of security checks to make sure you're querying what you should
4) not slow in my experience and certainly acceptable for 99% of applications
5) How are you forced? select a.*, b.* from a, b where a.id=1, b.id=1;
6) again, this is a trade-off between integrity and flexibility, but if it really bugs you put your record delta in a json string.
What is crap about SQL? Seems fine for fetching data, as long as you don't try and code your whole app in it. Compared to ASM, seems like a joy to work with.
The front and can be fiddly and time consuming to get right, but really doesn't require the same of deep thought as how to organize and optimize. IMHO, the data model and business logic layer is where you separate the wheat from the chaff of who can hold complex interrelationships in mind and forsee consequences of choices.

Objective: We compared the effect of unvaped ECL to e-cigarette vapour condensate (ECVC) on alveolar macrophage (AM) function.
...
Conclusions: ECVC is significantly more toxic to AMs than non-vaped ECL.

I think that's the point, if they are similar enough in look and texture but not in composition there needs to be a distinction to clarify (tee hee).
