The problem isn't so much how Manning leaked the documents, but how WikiLeaks messed up spectacularly afterwards. The journalists who got the Snowden documents published only what was newsworthy and acted responsibly. OTOH, WikiLeaks messed it up so badly that everyone had access to all the documents. Then for the Clinton emails, they didn't even pretend they were trying to act responsibly and directly dumped everything as fast as they could.
Sounds like what you guys need is different sets of laws for cities and rural areas. Have universal health care, gun control, legal abortion and legal pot in cities and have the opposite in rural places. Then everyone's happy. Then you elect two "vice-presidents" that take care of most of the non-national stuff. Not really serious, but it almost seems like it would solve a lot of problems.
You don't know how popular Bernie Sanders would have been at this point if he had been nominated. The whole Trump campaign would probably have been around "commie Bernie" rather than "crooked Hilary", but combined with the hacking of the DNC and possibly other "surprises" we've never heard about, the result may not have been different. I'm not saying he's bad, I'm just saying that given enough effort and giving electors who don't give a shit about facts, you can turn *anyone* into a monster.
What would you do to an astronaut who tweets that the Earth is flat, or to a biologist who doesn't believe in DNA, or to a surgeon who doesn't believe in sterilizing instruments?
I think the line is about leaking important information vs plain doxing. The original Wikileaks leak with Manning was at least *supposed* to be controlled and have only journalists analyze the data to figure out what's relevant vs what was just going to cause conflicts (country X said something bad about country Y to country Z) for no reason. Of course, someone screwed up and the entire thing became public, but at least it seemed like the intent was to do things right. In this case, it seems to be about dumping everything in public, regardless of whether it's information the public should know. This is more like doxing. In some way, maybe the good thing for Hilary is that there's so much noise in there that few people are paying attention and anything actually bad in there is probably drowned out by the noise.
Personally, I think the app should be fully disabled while moving fast passenger or not.
Totally agree. And I would personally define "fast" as something like 10 km/h since you really shouldn't be playing this game while running or riding a bike either.
The trick is to find the ~5% who are doing something different, so they'll get different results, and help them.
Or in this case, we're talking about the people who will continue doing OK like previously because they were doing find until some kind of accident happened. But even otherwise if you could know (which I know isn't easy) that giving someone $1000 every year would prevent that person from being homeless, it's still a worthwhile investment even if you don't care about people's well-being.
Back of the envelope estimation here... the mirrors are probably 1% of the drag cross section of the car and the drag is maybe ~50% of the total energy loss in the car. So my guess would be around 0.5% reduction in fuel consumption. Over its life, your car might burn about 20,000 liters of gas, so you'd save about 100 liters, or about $100 (depending on exact prices). Of course, I'm likely to be off by more than a factor of two (but probably less than a factor of 10).
Outside of the fact that the some old courses may go away, am I the only one who thinks that their new platform, which prettier, is actually less usable than the original one?
What is still missing is just "faking" permissions, i.e. you have permission to open my contacts, but I have none... or my camera is just filming in the dark. Cyanogenmod had that, but I'm not sure why Google hasn't decided to use it.
If Windows software makes a mistake, I assume Microsoft can be sued. Like Toyota has been sued.
If Windows running in a Toyota kills someone, Toyota gets sued, not Microsoft. Microsoft makes it clear that their software is not to be used in a mission-critical application. Same goes for Linux or other software. Whoever makes it part of some device is responsible, at least unless the software manufacturer explicitly provides a warranty for that particular application.
Hardware analogy: if Boeing uses screws from Home Depot to build an airplane, who do you sue when the plane crashes? Home Depot or Boeing?
I'm sorry, but this is just bad taste... and yes, I would say the same if these were pro-abortion ads ("You're pregnant! Ever considered an abortion?"). Also, I suspect any attempt at having anti-abortion ads is bound to backfire and "promote" the idea as an option.
Your analysis is valid (assuming the input values are correct) assuming that your car is going 80-100 km/h at constant speed. The huge advantage of EV over ICE is when you're stuck in traffic going 0-10 km/h and stopping frequently. In that case, the EV efficiency can even go up (if you have regenerative braking), while the ICE efficiency goes to near zero since the engine's idle.
So basically one should always give positive ratings because if you don't like a show then obviously you're not the targeted audience. Not that I rate *any* shows...
Oh, I totally agree here. I also assume he did a little more digging than just typing HELP. Things like trying the commands listed in the HELP to see what they do and/or trying some variants. Again, entirely reasonable things to do, no matter what the author thinks or likes. The vast majority of reverse engineering techniques are still legal (as it should be).
Andrew did not reverse-engineer the Bitkeeper transfer protocol. What Andrew did was to telnet to the Bitkeeper's server port, and type "HELP". Bitkeeper then obligingly told Andrew what its commands were, in the exact style used by all early TCP daemons like FTP, SMTP, etc.
I believe trying commands to see what they do is still called "reverse engineering", despite being ethical, legal and not involving any decompiling.

Read again. AFAIK Manning did not leak Podesta's emails.

As a non-American, that is almost reassuring. It would mean *your* country is fucked, but at least the rest of the world has a chance.

Well, you could *write* twice the amount of data.
Yes, and since the people at the top giving incentives to cheat almost never face consequences, the behavior will continue.

Apparently there's no medial study that clearly demonstrates that jumping out the window is bad for your health.
For those interested, I recently setup a comparison between different image formats, including WebP, Daala, BPG and JPEG.

It's OK, they didn't look at the average IQ, they only looked at the percentage of the population above median IQ.

They may even create travesties like the plug in prius (w/ 11mi range; not even worth plugging in).
Maybe useless for you, but I'd love to be able to go 11mi on just electric. That would cover at least 50% of the mileage I do with my current car.
