Given the U.S. propensity for religiousity, perhaps another effort is searching the universe for God?

This is what happens when the majority of journalists both have a profit motive and cozy up to the establishment: they'll say anything and a low/no-information populace gobbles it up without a grain of salt.

The Intercept, Democracy Now, Thom Hartmann, TYT, et. al. are in a precarious position because they often speak the truth, which is inconvenient to those in power. Whether they can mostly survive and measurably supplant establishment media by demographics isn't certain. Whether Trump will target investigative journalists and net neutrality (likely) Erdogan-style is anyone's guess.

Here, here. JM has long since jumped the shark. Don't worry though, Herr Trumpf will hire him.

It's amazing people are still giving this bollocks the time of day.

These will only be toys, and here's why: fuel efficiency (or lack thereof) per passenger. Good luck getting over 2 MPG considering having to haul around bits to meet both road and aircraft regs, fuel and passenger. Plus, do we really want to rehash the already decidedly terrible prospects of making average distracted/intoxicated/uncoordinated people into pilots? Give up lusting over Peter Thiel's science fiction pipedreams and move onto solving real problems like breaking dependence on fossil fuels or sequestering greenhouse gases.

Just ran into this with the puma ruby gem's native extension. OpenSSL 1.1 should've been called OpenSSL 2.0.

People tend to hate on anything which threatens their job/identity, even if it rationalizes not addressing preventable causes of million of injuries and deaths. That is the definition of a SJW.

Joking? People can't fly an f-16 or most rockets, but computers can. People get drunk and plow into traffic in the other direction, run over a crowd of people because they're nuts. That's the truth, get used to it.

There are literally thousands of cities with various levels of unsafe water. I had some extended familiy members whom all stupidly lived in the same house, drank/bathed/etc using the tap water near Durango, Colorado... and they all died prematurely of various terrible diseases like numerous forms of cancer.

??? Not one major country. The US is the highest. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_incarcera...

Arbitrary signals of class to abuse using the 13th ammendment loophole in for-profit prison-industrial plantations 2.0.

Still far-and-away the highest incarceration rate per capita in the world, despite post-truth libertarian propaganda.

Intelligence agencies proportedly of democracies should invest more in cultural (and philosophical) self-reflection. That might mean "wasting" comparatively tiny sums on art, architecture, history, archival, philosophy and other non-mission-oriented realms because they may bring social wealth and beauty to where there may otherwise be only perfunctory, brutalist utility.

When hippie nerds name their kids, buy a former nuclear missile silo and watch the fuck out because we'll be accidentally thrown back into the days trying to start a fire with an iPhone and wishing for an Samsung Galaxy Note 7 airlines announced were banned at the beginning of every flight.

At first, I was thinking of a helium-filled building run by Lando Calrissian but this makes a bit more sense. The handwriting is on the wall that Amazon needs thousands more smaller warehouses distributed throughout population centers in order to pre-stage and reduce delivery time of drone/conventional deliveries to anticipate fulfillment of common/regional-popular items. Amazon Go should probably tap into some of the same logistics and expand with fewer/larger non-food stores for items people want to see/feel in person. Just how long it will take for Amazon to m&a to become the Tyrell Corporation, I have no clue, but it seems almost plausible (a few giant corportations perhaps?).

My brain instinctively did s/PHP/CVE/, hope it's right.

Relying on error-prone, distracted, slow humans to guide massive killing machines is playing Russian roulette. AI driving will no doubt be eventually better than the best human driver within a decade, in nearly all instances.

This article uses the wrong label "socialism" when it's more like the past century's communism. There's a world of difference between Social Security from which Ayn Rand benefitted and top-down mismanaged resources / disastrous policies. Conflating the two only perpetuates libertarian mythologies which promulgate "rugged individualism" and phobia of providing common services which benefit communities, like firefighters, highways, radio frequency allocation and child toy safety standards.

A bigger problem than both: the 100-1000x atmospheric mass in methane calthrates bubbling up from the ESAS that have the potential to push climate change beyond +6 ℃. Get ready for high food prices, more failed states (and more mob armed cults), regional WMD wars and mass exoduses.

It sounds rhetorical and impossible at first glance if the evidence including satellite measurements and field observations weren't so definitive. Preppers don't sound so insane at first but they're probably not thinking about sustainable semi/off-grid living in a radically-altered climate.

I had to move my mom to another seat on a recent flight because the adjacent passenger spilled into three seats total. Everyone was uncomfortable until the large passenger (American college American football player) occupied two seats after my mom moved to a luckily open seat.

I'm on the side of horizontally/vertically large people need to pay for what they use, because forcing another passenger to stand for a 7 hour is ridiculously short-changing other paying customers. [0] Or throwing off the CG of a plane to where it may be uncontrollable and crash... yeah, I want that because people are too precious about their weighs.

PS: I happen to be so tall as to be at the 0.1% percentile range and barely fit into any coach seat without folding my ankles into my pockets. Sports cars, clothes and shoes all have an PITA tax for being vertically-challenged. And I couldn't fit it an F-16 if I wanted to, fuck my life. LOL.

Also, another note:

Waste sorting and recycling regulations need to be continually ratcheted up because a few bins isn't working (ever see the disaster of the composting, recycling and landfill bins at Costco?). Do like Stanford does: have separate bins (up to 5) but also divert more of the waste stream for recyclables, composting, etc. with pre-landfill processing. Left to their own devices, people rarely voluntarily make changes which are vital to more sustainable ecology.

It seems also that at some point in the future, it may become economical to mine landfills for materials when scarcity drives prices high enough.

I stab them with my keys to let the air out and recycle at the store with other plastic material, since the local waste company doesn't recycle bags or film at all. It seems a shame considering how much plastic ends up in landfills, water ways, the ocean (great garbage patches in the gyres) and basically on every beach in the world. [0,1] Literally, (no pun intended), the oceans need a million or so plastic-skimming aquatic Roombas to undo the anthropogenic-damage just in the oceans.

Btw: I'm wondering if anyone here recycles plastic using a filament maker for a 3d printer, either DIY or commercial, and how well that works.

Ah the clever XT/AT hardware:

- hard-drive on expansion card

- null modem cable (LapLink had two cables: one parallel , and one serial with a pair of DB25 and DB9 on each end)

- parasitic-powered serial devices

- Northgate keyboards with a ctrl-alt-del button

- game port Y cable (two analog joysticks on one standard game port)

- Microsoft Sidewinder 3D Pro joystick for mostly-compatible digital support (supported by Mechwarrior under DOS)

- Thrustmaster F-16 FLCS/TQS/RCS

A few people growing a massive amount of genetically-identical (GM) grain in a narrow band of arable land pilles risk up like a Jenga game. In the US, the median climate models suggest the majority of intensively-cultivated land and surrounding areas will experience significant desertification.

Plus, cities are filled with mostly knowledge and service specialists whom depend almost entirely on massive quantities of goods and food produced in factories and rural areas.

"If all men were angels, no government would be necessary." -James Madison

Since Tragedy of the Commons and the reality of human nature, libertarianism is a dog-whistle for utopian anarchism ("rugged individualism"), a nearly polar-opposite over-reaction to another failed utopian system: communism. The proven (still flawed, and often recalibrating) workable middle-ground, balancing competing tyrannies is something approaching democratic socialism... America though is currently much more on the libertarian side for poor people and welfare state for the rich due to the undue, corrupting influences of billionaires' lobbyists and their money (tax code, corporate welfare, etc.) In countries like the UK, France and other parts of Europe there is guaranteed healthcare... In America, if you are dying in an ER and broke without Obamacare, you will likely be forced into bankruptcy from hospital bills.

Many implementations historically also allocated enough memory to include one extra element at the end of the array.

No more MBPs for me unless Apple makes a significant U-turn. The unupgradability was the final straw.
