If you can increase your hourly rate to $250/hour and find someone to pay you then you should do it. If you are working for less than you can charge then you don't understand the economy you live in. Research won't help you if you don't understand the basic economy of your society.
We have let me count...3 tablets, 3 phones, 1 ipod, 3 laptops and one iMac in my household. We use them all. We use them for different purposes and reasons. Books, recipes, pictures, casting to the new Chomecast -- Tablet.
Phone, pictures, taking it with you -- Phone.
Home work, work work, email, shopping. -- Laptop.
My development environment -- iMac.
I don't get why the success of one thing means the death of another. Ok I get the car means the horse and buggy are on the way out. But, TV didn't kill radio or movies. I'm thinking that in the future we will have devices of all shapes and sizes waiting for us everywhere.
Isn't a judges ruling supposed to be about whether or not a law has been broken. In all the text I only saw that the government learned from its mistakes and could isolate gossamer contacts among suspected terrorists, etc. Shouldn't the ruling be "The government is allowed because of clause x y z of the something or other act." It doesn't or shouldn't matter to a judge whether it works or is a good idea. It should only matter that it is or is not in compliance with the constitution and the applicable legal statutes. Why would he even comment on it effectiveness?

This is a problem that effect all kinds of machine learning. It is always very difficult to collect enough samples to teach good recognition skills. Whether it is hand writing, speech or as in this case Morse Code. I'm wondering if some open library that could be uploaded to for this kind of thing might not exist, or if not, it might be a good idea.
Doctors, Lawyers, Engineers, Researchers almost any professional has to keep up with the literature and new developments in their field or fall behind and become irrelevant. While some, might sometimes, be given some time at work to learn and keep up with advancements they are all (the successful ones anyway) reading journals or learning new techniques on their on time. I am not sure what makes developers feel like they are different and should be compensated for keeping up with their chosen field of endeavor.
Mites have been a problem in beehives forever. There are many ways to deal with Varroa mites some of which work better than others. This is a an old and ongoing beekeeper problem. CCD is a completely different problem and not in any way related to mites.

I've been using them since they came out and all my backups still work. It is supposed to last a thousand years. I don't know about that, but they do seem to be better than backing up to regular dvd which I have had go bad in as little as a year.
A frank and open discussion in which we weigh safety, freedom and surveillance looking for a balance that keeps a truly free. A discussion of terrorism as more than just a boogie man the government trots out whenever they want to curtail our freedom with more...wait somebodies at the door. [and another slashdotter is taken to the secret NSA prison.];-)
Totally agree with your argument. You are too good for me. Father and adult son. Go for it. How are they injuring you again? What is your problem with it?
Group marriage, Rock On. Again what would be the problem with that. How are you being injured? It would be the business of the group not yours and not the states.
Why would these things mean that marriage as an institution will end? You can continue to live and act as you will. In fact, you can continue to fear and hate people who are gay or live in a group marriage or whatever you hate and fear. Because you are free to do it in America as they should also be free to live as they wish.
Justice Anthony Kennedy, speaking for the 5-4 majority, said DOMA was unconstitutional because it violated the right to liberty and to equal protection for gay couples.

It must have some bearing since it is the constitutional clause they used to justify the ruling.
One of the many problems with an originalist interpretation of the Constitution is that even the framers didn't know exactly what was intended by every article. Jefferson and Hamilton fought tooth and nail throughout Washington's term about states rights, the power of the executive and the interpretation of the role of the supreme court. In fact it was not until Marshal in 1801 that the Supreme court decided it had the power of judicial review (Marbury v. Madison). So, even the role that Scalia plays in government was not as the framers intended. The entire argument is silly since there are many things that we deal with today that the founders could not have even envisioned. What for instance did the framers think of stem cell research, commerce on the internet, software patents, genetically modified food, corporate political speech... and the list goes on? Will Scalia simply say that he can make no decision on these sorts of things. No, he will make a call, and that call will back his political agenda. You simply cannot be an originalist about a 224 year old document.
Why can't people be polygamists? (just an aside here in my argument, but inter-family marriages have a long history in the houses of the rich and powerful. FDR and Elenaor were distant cousins. Also see: http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/2010/09/tut-dna/dobbs-text )
But, back to incest and pedophiles. These are crimes in which we can find a truly injured party. That is why murderers and rapists don't get the same rights as the rest of us and are forced to live in prisons. But, Homosexuality (between consenting adults) has no injured party. Your personal feelings that it is wrong don't count as an injury (sorry). If that were the case no one could do anything.
I say let people be married in whatever form they want polygamy, line marriage, gay marriage whatever they want to do that works for them. So, long as it does no harm to others it should be legal and recognized. The problem with America and freedom is that most people seem to want to limit freedom to only those action that they agree with.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed
I think the relevant portion of the constitution that you are looking for is this:
14th Amendment, section 1:
"No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."
It is called the equal protection clause. "The Declaration of Independence" is not a law and has zero barring on any decision of the Supreme Court.
Consider for a moment that were possible. Probably not today, at some point if driver software could be written to run this digital model. If by some long shot it were possible would it be ethically right?
You clearly don't read enough science fiction. Of course it would be ethical. Then we could all retire to a computerized wonderland of drugs and sex with no side effects. Trillions of lives could be encoded with out the crazy need for real food, clothing and shelter. If it could be done it would be Nirvana/Heaven/Wonderland/Paradise come true!!! Rock on supercomputers. I wanna be your first upload.
Why shouldn't we put cameras on every street corner? Then we could catch all the Jaywalkers. Why shouldn't we put a microphone in every confessional? Why shouldn't we put cameras in every room in every home. We would end domestic violence once and for all!!
We have to put hard limits on the massive interference with citizens private affairs and lives in place now. The we have already started down the slippery slope. Those in power only need to trot out the TERRORIST boogeyman and the SAFETY boogeyman to get the public to allow seemingly any intrusion into their lives. If we don't start fighting back now we will find that we cannot stop them when they start wiring up out homes in the name of stopping domestic violence or whatever boogeyman they use.
Yes, but you don't need sex and I was in fact talking about evolution and ecology. Bacteria, are evolving to use and live on the plastic waste that we are dumping the the ocean. Changes in ecology create changes in survival pressure. New foods, loss of old foods, change in climate etc all change the pressures on living things including bacteria. And bacteria evolve. Maybe not through sexual means and so do not evolve as quickly in terms of generations, but they can evolve much more quickly than sexual animals since a generation can be measured in minutes. I would think all that of the bacteria that are becoming immune to our antibiotics would be proof enough of that.
I was in no way condoning the degradation of the oceans with our waste. Neither was I arguing that we can trust evolution to clean up after us. I just get a little tired of the scientific media and even some evolutionary biologists who act surprised when things happen that are predicted by their science.
I'm always confounded when evolution does what it is predicted to do and we are all surprised by it. That waste can be used as food. Something will find a way to eat it. Evolution will fill available niches. That is the point to some extent of evolution. Why are we surprised that microbes are eating plastic? Why are we surprised that they then cause follow on effects? Seems obvious to me that it would happen given that it is in line with theory.
I would also comment that we need to find a different way of expressing changes in ecology. It seems that any change to the ecological status quo is regarded as a problem or disaster. We know from the historical record that nothing in nature stays in a steady state. We know that changes in ecology are often boom bust cycles that eventually find an equilibrium from which it will, over time, move away from into a new boom bust cycle. "Punctuated Equilibrium" - nice name for it.
