Considering all the "good" the Dulles brothers did for the world, maybe this is for the best.

well if "fascism can best be understood as bringing the methods of imperial rule in the colonies into the metropole." Then aside from the obvious imperial attitude of 'its ok since the DOD is developing this for non-americans,' americans themselves might be worried about the future implications of this technology.

well, if you convert it all to biochar (say with a 50% volume fudge factor to account for non-carbon components and packing density), you just have to stack an area the size of pennsylvania with 1 meter of biochar each year to zero emissions.

The Progressive Case for the Qing Imperial Confucian Civil Service Exam

the intended audience is inside the company. A US Gov GAO report on (eg) transport spending might be called 'internal' to the govt since its primarily public policy recommendations generated by and for the govt, but the report still has to be publicly accessible

I expect the PEP authors want to avoid the "while chunk == read()" class of bugs

Another of 2-3 stories about the Amazon strike deleted from the front page of Hacker news, it's hard to not be conspiratorial about this.

A better analogy would be if they towed back an asteroid full of $100 bills.

Well its a great design if your goal is to make sure agrarian slave-state get to keep their slaves. Less so in a country with ideologically coherent (as opposed to regional) parties that control all branches of govt.

naive calculation from an estimated 8% effective rate[0] says a german family making 60,000 would pay 400/month. Additionally however, no deductibles.

shuf also works (its in /usr/bin) -- this took me a ~long~ time to figure out

You'll only feel the consequences of printing money if productivity and population stop rising, and seeing as how the earth in infinitely large, I don't see that happening!

The text of the paper is a little more precise than the abstract, they picked R:A because it's "the most highly rated hidden role game on boardgamegeek.com."

Just as a player of these games, I'm curious how much weight DeepRole gives to the results of the team Proposal Votes. I find they hold a lot of useful, but hard to parse information which depends heavily on the skill/metagame of your opponents.

and therefore, we have to invade Iraq

I wonder if anyone might have a hint on how I could create a certain behavior for TST.

Generally, I want the TST sidebar to be full width (~250 px) so I can read all the open tabs at once. But when I have several windows open on my screen, the TST bar can take up too much of the window and reduces usability. I'd like to have the TST sidebar to auto-collapse (so it expands on mouse-over) when the firefox window is less than (say) 500 px wide/50% of the screen width.

oh no, won't someone please think of the downtrodden trillionaire

Ocean acidification is no small thing

the point is to enrich hc industry shareholders, same as everything else

Then it's incumbent on car manufacturers who sell their cars with 'auto-pilot' as a marketing term to educate the public on what that term-of-art means. This might cost some money to do. A line in the manual doesn't count.

it cant be that hard to write the "Dow volatility increases on Fed decision" article

This might be a far out question, but is there a connection/analogy between the SVD approximation and a fourier transform+low-pass filter.

Are there words that function the same way in Chinese, Latin or Greek?

I think LabMD is especially vulnerable to this since data breaches are a HIPAA violation.

Unless the ice cube also gains heat from the air above the drink, which you want to slow down.

Not Sony but Sony Pictures Entertainment which is an american subsidiary.

The inner product in the context of tensors is a rank-contraction operation[0]. The IP you know and love contracts over the covariant and contravariant indicies of two rank-1 tensors (vectors). You need a metric to do this so you can raise one of the contravariant indicies to be covariant. If your metric is the normal one (all 1's) then you just add the product of all coefficients. Though if you have the Minkowski metric (like in special relativty) then you negate the time coordinate (or all the space coordinates) and add. Here the matrix might be regarded as a rank 1,1 tensor (one covariant, one contravariant index) that you contract with the vector.

I'm not saying this isn't going to happen in Colorado, but it hasn't happened in Chattanooga, TN. They've had municipal broadband since 2009 [1] which far outstrips the national averages for speed and price.

What I really need from straw poll is an option for better voting methods, if we're deciding between more than three choices for streaming we always need to use instant runoff to get an accurate measurement of what people want to watch. Something popular like Schultze voting (maybe implemented with sliders from one to ten instead of entering rank numbers; so it stays as idiot-proof as strawpoll.me)

This is maybe not inconsistent. Kids like Kraft macaroni and cheese and Hotdogs covered in ketchup. We shouldn't expect kids to like "better" foods if they haven't developed a palette yet.
