Maximally might have been a better word choice, or just dropping the adjective. Absolutism never survives scrutiny⸮

Therefore, we should preemptively invade Mali/Iraq/etc? Do we have to strike first, and violently manage other countries just to maintain our defenses?

I am not arguing for pacifism. I put the 'need to wage war' into the original moral calculus as a valid consideration, not to dismiss it.

No one is invading France.

Illegal status of material should be adjudicated by a court of law, not by a civil servant in a covert agency.

I disagree simply because I feel the obligation for a completely transparent government outweighs the need to wage war. How selfish must one be to insist we wage these conflicts where the deaths of many are a certainty.

Yes, Silicon sensors are not photosensitive past ~900nm. The IR filter is only there to block "near infrared" 700-900nm which is not human visible but silicon sensitive.

Both MSVC and g++ have some C++ language extensions enabled by default. Examples include msvc allowing you to drop 'typename' where the compiler can deduce that a token is actually a type, and g++ allowing variable length arrays.

Visual Studio works great on cross platform code bases. It is so much better than Eclipse, but I'll stick with vim :)

Is any serious scammer going to be deterred by needing to obtain a facebook account with 50 friends?

Note that DBL_DIG is the number of decimal digits that can be a 9. If the max integral value storable in a double is 4,000,000, DBL_DIG would only be 6. It is a conservative limit.

Your first example works just fine with increased output precision. https://ideone.com/GtMDit A slightly larger number shows the discrepancy: https://ideone.com/WPtpX4

That weight over time graph should really be a bar graph and not a line graph.

Here that means freedom for the business owner to fire you.

Shoutout to everyone on freenode's #emberjs that has helped me work through these troubles.

70s? Don't forget the Suffragettes!

Your comment is wrong and rude.

Oh look, I just did some social janitorial work. Was your comment somehow deleted by my act?

Should I presume that Convo provides no moderation mechanisms because they would constitute censorship?

Being disingenuous or dishonest would require knowledge on her part that she was misrepresenting. Given that the event description originally included Alexis, and the obvious chain of miscommunication above, is it not a reasonable assumption that Rebecca was simply misinformed?

You are inferring a motive in SkepChick that isn't apparent to me. Care to elaborate? Do you have reason to believe that she isn't actually concerned about bigotry and child porn perpetuating on reddit? If she was after page views, wouldn't she have linked to herself more than she did (one slate article she wrote, out of a dozen links)?

Why do you imply that the members of this panel are being disingenuous?

- Yes you never agreed to the panel, but how does this email chain not reflect an honest invitation?

- Of course the debate was framed; it is impossible for an event to not have context. Would you have preferred it framed differently? How so?

- Are you implying that these panelists prefer pageviews over progress? If not, who are the boogeymen you are invoking here?

His father was killed several days prior. Yemen is not a war zone; the US is not at war with Yemen. Sins of the father do not pass to the son.

"In-theater military target" is a lazy set of adjectives and nouns for addressing this situation.

The "theater" in the Global War on Terror is the entire globe. The United States is not at war with Yemen.

Abdulrahman was not even alleged to have engaged in "military" conduct, merely being a propagandist.

He was not a "target", he was collateral damage of a strike on someone else.

This is not a heated battlefield death. The nature of war is shifting and using aggressive global militarism as an excuse to handwave around the denied due process of a 16 year old US citizen is disturbing.

Democracy looks a lot more like direct action than petition writing and voting. Look at the fight against the Keystone XL. All the campaigning in the world couldn't beat the fossil fuel lobby. But a few days of direct action in east Texas has resulted in route changes that even the best connected farmers couldn't implement.

How is a C implementation of std::shared_ptr safer?

The project aims to build not just the tokenizer, but a complete compiler and standard library. None of GCC, Clang, Microsoft or Intel can provide a complete, bug free C++11 implementation. If you hang out in freenode's ##c++, you'll see people finding new corner cases every day. It's reasonable to consider this project impossible for an individual.

No compiler vendor (gcc, clang, msvc, intelcc) has produced a bug-free implementation of C++11 so I would contend that no one has already done it.

Why do you imply that the Human Genome Project was a scam?

I want computer vision's culture to not be a subset of cultures that are sexually open. I'm not personally offended, but I don't think we should risk turning away the contributions to computer vision from people who are slighted by the use of pornography in a scientific context.

I am pleased to hear that Lenna is personally OK with the situation, however I am more concerned with the thousands of young women attempting to enter the boys club of computer science. These women are being coerced to deal with pornography as a theme or abandon computer vision.

> Imagine that no one 'fought the natives for it'. Instead the land was a vacant waste with no one living there and nothing growing there.

Dear Randian, These statements imply that you consider the native people "no one" and native vegetation rather than industrial crops "a vacant waste". I think those are rude presumptions.

Am I the only one that is dissatisfied with all of the Lena references in the computer vision community? For a few years I was righteously indignant about the gender issues involved but now it's just trite. Makes us seem like adolescents that we find it so important to reference a Playboy photograph.

Yeah, many banks gave out loans and then couldn't pay their other debts. America's answer? The home owners are evil and banks should be propped up and shielded from the risks they took.

It doesn't really teach responsibility.
