2) Minke whales are not endangered. They are classified as LC (least concern) by the IUCN. The Antarctic stock alone is estimated at over 500k.
Yeah. I used to be really upset at Japan for whaling, but then I realized they are not out there killing blue whales (or any endangered whales, as far as I can tell). It's harder to get upset when their actions probably aren't harming the ecosystem at all.....
Those people who put a large share of their savings in gems and precious metals made a mistake. it's a bad idea to begin with.
The reason I want mineral prices to drop is so they can be used more places. Gold is a great conductor, and diamonds are still pretty. The lower prices drop, the closer I get to my dream of a diamond-studded, gold-plated toilet.
This is because of the licence: it turns out that corporations like Apple are more willing to provide developer resources for this open source project if the licence isn't copyleft.
That's not really true, Apple contributed to GCC for years before LLVM. The problem was that Apple wanted features, and GCC wouldn't allow those features to be built. So finally Apple just gave up and built their own.
This is the rule of running an open source project (and Linus does a really good job of it): give users what they want, or the users will leave.
It's not the tools and the languages; it's the method of problem solving. Project Management today is not the same as Project Management in 1980 (I'm CAPM certified). Engineering isn't the same. We've created new construction techniques, not just new materials and tools. Programming hasn't just advanced in terms of languages and system platforms; we've created new methods for writing enormous programs without doing a shitton of refactoring.
The code of any major OS is so insecure that the NSA should have no problem hacking into them, and figuring out what the terrorists want. Good job Silicon Valley! Way to disrupt!
I looked at your links. The first one seems to not link to anything. The second seems to show the opposite of what you claim, that mass shootings have been increasing. Still, it is an interesting link.
What we need to do is spend money on building up social structure. Street parties, neighbourhood parties, things that bring people together and strengthen the social structure
Reports are that the coworkers of this guy threw a baby shower for his wife, not long before he shot them.
Or do you really want me to believe that for over 200 years Islamic people have had little beef with the US
FYI one of the first wars the US fought was against Islamic people, and they've continued from time-to-time. Check out the Barbary Wars sometime.
Also, it's worth remembering that the vast majority of Islamic people today still have little beef with the US.
On the other hand, you did find a way to make it readable, even if it was by using tons of comments, so you'd probably be a good person to have as a coworker.
I spent a week trying to explain my Moore Machine driven code to a non-degree code reviewer. Eventually he just pushed it through saying "I really don't understand how it works, but no matter how much I test it, it works. You'd better hope it keeps working in the future." The irony was that since I had modeled the program as a DFA with output, I could mathematically prove the output was what the input demanded.
That's kind of strange, because a Moore Machine is one of the simpler concepts imo
Has Iran really finally given up on building a nuclear bomb (with which to attack Israel), or have they just moved it to some cave somewhere nobody has found yet,
The way I've heard it said: "If Iran doesn't have a secret nuclear facility, it will be the first time in decades."
That doesn't mean we should invade them, just be aware of the facts.

Fine, just for you, I'll double the cost!
That's true........Gore is a loser, and Gates is a winner.
Except Rule #1 of negotiation is "Don't make inflammatory statements to the press before, during, or after negotiations."
What are you talking about? What rule list did you get that from? The first rule of negotiation, if anything, is, "never accept the first offer."
Somehow, I don't see Trump being an effective negotiator.
He wrote a book on it, and he's done a lot of negotiation, so that is the one area where I see that he would be effective.
But Al Gore is a dirty, rotten Liberal
So is Trump. He was a registered democrat, favors single-payer healthcare, he's pro-choice, favors a wealth tax, etc.
Even now, gold is almost cheap enough for a gold-plated toilet.

What sorts of new methods are you referring to?
What it is not good at, and in fact nobody is good at, is neutralizing the threat from long range, land based saturation attacks,
Mainly because the "next great thing" isn't really all that different than the "current great thing."
Here you go.
Apple and Google are just as guilty as Microsoft in this. And Microsoft does have a SV office FWIW
Cool, thx, I'll check it out.

tbh I don't care about the person you responded to lol. Your post was much more interesting.

Has there ever been a case where it was effective at stopping a terrorist attack?

Most importantly, Guido van Rossum might have made many more mistakes in Python if he didn't have Perl as a counter-example.
Hmmmm I see your point.
I don't know that Guido could have made any more mistakes than he already did, though. He made Python, after all.
Yes, especially since so far there is no indication that all that spying has helped to stop a single terrorist attack.
