I think it's reasonable to not be totally comfortable with that. But can you think of a better system? To address the important scientist point you made, I could see it being in the interest of society to give some people extra special

Well it's a concept, but it's applied very hypocritically. It seems mostly about social status. "All lives matter more than anything else but some lives don't matter very much at all" would be more accurate. Some p

Actually all of that, together, make him a suspect. Any of it might not, but all of it does. Each piece of evidence reduces the likelihood of coincidence. Now that they have the suspect in custody they should be able to do a one-on-one test

I don't know, but I can only assume. Who else would want to split up California and has a thing for busting unions?

They're the oil-rich nation of companies. They can afford vanity projects and woeful mismanagement as long as that sweet sweet advertising money keeps coming in. The sectors of the company that keep that running are run well, but side

I know you're joking, but I think the former has to do more with facial features/structure and the latter is more a case of demeanor (not that it actually involves attempts to cause death through eye contact, just that it's d

You're making this argument as if the whole FB/Cambridge Analytica thing hadn't happened. There is power in these systems and when they're affecting our governmental structures we have a vested interest in regulating the

We could also join together Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma and maybe a few other plains states into a single state. They always vote together and most people can't tell them apart anyway, plus there's the efficiencies of reducing redu

The senate is two votes per state... though the ratio works out the same. Clearly the new states would vote more heavily Republican on average than California currently does, else he wouldn't be proposing this. I suspect the big win (f

I appreciate any effort to make mathematical explanations more intuitive. A couple of thoughts: 1. There are a few grammatical errors (missing word, missing comma) that are forgivable but I find that any imprecision in language is a big det

Would you care to share the server auction site? I've thought about doing something like that.

An extremely left leaning organization run by a huge multinational for-profit conglomerate? Perhaps you should look up characteristics of far left organizations. I don't think you know what that term means.

Of course that's not just a basic income, that's a full cushy income. A better example with be Alaska which uses ok revenues to give a subsidy to residents of the state.

BMW's market cap exceeds GM's today, so that all seems to check out. Tesla's valuation assumed high future value; their stock could stay stagnant as they grow to BMW production numbers and they'd be doing great. Just gro

You have that backward, underfunding the IRS to cause dysfunction is the strategy that is used to gin up support for simple easily-gameable tax schemes like "flat tax".

Your mention of the poor touchpad accuracy really brought the frustration back to me. That may have been the single biggest issue that drove me to stop using mine. It's a shame, the XO had so much potential, but the problems you mentio

I was very bummed that h g1g1 xo didn't come with a pullcord generator. I thought it was a great idea.

Yep, I had both an XO and an EEE in that order. The look on the university help desk tech's face when I brought the XO (running puppy Linux at the time) in to get a network cert install was fun. I recall moving from the XO to the EEE m

That's a good point. In a block of 10,000 cells that should all have the same formula (offset by 1, say) how do you know that they all actually have that same formula? I'm not aware of a way to check that that doesn't involve

I have used Knime for a few months, enough to get comfortable with it, and while some of what you say is true I have to disagree about it standing up to command line tools. Especially after having tried to go through some code written by ot

That's an interesting point you bring up. By holding their cards to their chest, the IRS ensures there is significant risk in tax evasion. If they were to send out a pre-prepared return, any mistake the IRS made there in a filer's

That's why replacing corporate income tax with personal income tax, which many here advocate, won't work. However that issue can be mitigated by taxing companies on the value of perks

I think you may still be a little confused. Power density is the rate at which energy can be added to or drawn from the the cell per unit mass. So faster charging and discharging means high power density. Energy density is the total amount

If you're going to be mentioning this again in the future please correct your usage of power/energy density. Power density is measured in W/kg, energy density is measured in Wh/kg. Supercapacitors tend to excel in the fo

I wonder how many of these are encrypted systems. I see a lot of "theft" and "loss" on that list. I know if I were to lose a system that had PHI on it I would be required to report the breach even if the system had full

The situation regarding Facebook and privacy is very much unresolved. How can you call it a dead horse? Facebook is very much a large, living, dangerous horse. I think we shouldn't let up until the horse changes its spots or dies.

As someone in data science this isn't a trend I particularly like. I suppose to some extent these jobs can be filtered out by requiring a salary that they're not willing to pay for that work.

You chose a funny example. A lawyer can make captain in the military just by signing on the dotted line, same with a doctor.

That's entirely speculation at this point. Tesla are the only ones who could confirm or deny that and it's possible that they will never be able to determine it depending on the condition of the computer hard ware.

It's too early to draw that conclusion. Note that the claims in the article are coming from the family and haven't been corroborated by Tesla yet. It's possible they are incorrect about aspects of the story they're telli
