Hey, the original parent poster: (I figure I'd weigh in) I'm not strongly against gay marriage. I simply don't support it. Sorry if my explanation is a little disjointed. There isn't one particular issue that explains it

Yeah, and that was kinda my point. I don't see why they don't make it possible to earmark money - I think they would end up getting a LOT more funding: People that don't want to fund gay marriage advocacy would donate to the

Hey thanks for sharing that. Glad to see there is some diversity when it comes to civil liberties advocates. (not that there is anything wrong with the ACLU as far as I can tell) "Our four pillars of litigation are private property, ec

So why not contribute to (or extend) say ScaLAPACK to make it do what you need and add a wrapped to an existing linear algebra library? Looking at ScaLAPACK, it's been developed since 1995. I've never touched it, but it's pro

I guess I don't get what you're saying: the C++ linear algebra libraries are basically syntactic sugar for interacting with optimized Fortran libraries like BLAS, LAPACK, etc. (I'm sure I'm overlooking some complexity he

And why exactly can't that be made part of an existing library?

Great.. another C++ linear algebra library... boost::uBLAS eigen armadillo a dozen other... why not contribute to an existing project? The reoccurring bifurcation of talent and resources in the open source community is really d

Is the EFF really strapped for cash? If their budget was 2 or 3 times bigger, would they really be able to do a lot more?

Can someone actually explain to me what Cygwin does internally? Doesn't Windows already implement POSIX?

Zeppelins can't really deflate because there is not pressure difference between the inside and outside of the zeppelin. If there were to be a tear in the fabric, gases would simple start mixing and the buoyancy of the aircraft would st

Thanks for that clarification

"Personally I know I eat much more fries if I eat them with ketchup and I will eat much more steak if I eat it with steak sauce." Not to detract from your other excellent points but: 1 - it makes it easier to eat more because it&#

Figuring out which libary to use is a huge PITA. I don't really understand when I should use uBLAS, mtl, or eigen or whatever else is out there. Anyone have some insight?

Not only glib but also a false dichotomy. Choosing between two careers, say engineering and being a marine zoologist are equivalent in socially attributed worth and both require a similar amount of effort education-wise. Most people wouldn

People primarily speak Russian in Ukraine not because they were afraid of being killed but because it was the lingua franca of the region and it was taught in Soviet schools. There was a lot less literature available in Ukrainian because Uk

The farmers are the people bringing in money into the economy. The rest of society starts to simply charge more for their services b/c their expenses have gone up.

The other possibility is that it's people that have looked up your name on Facebook before you had an account. So HQ logged it as X wanting to find Y. When Y makes an account, we'll let him know X was trying to find them.

Oh this is symptomatic of a larger problem of age discrimination in Europe. People have zero problem firing old people explicitly for their age. Many academic institutions have hard set requirements for retirement at 65. It's very very

I think there is a lot less black magic than you think. The overwhelming majority of the time the small price fluctuations are in response to changes in the price by 3rd party sellers (the ones selling the same item in "new" condi

To be honest, I've always found the evidence that ancient Mexicans had the wheel rather dubious. All we have that supports this claim are small clay fired figurines that allegedly had wheels on them. The problem with the claim is that

Yeah, but that's often hard to pull off. For instance in the original example you're violating an internet law. It's not exactly something the PD can just pretend to stumble upon unless you're really careless and do it i

by temp453463343 13y ago
Wouldn't the PD need to show in court why they suspected you in the first place? If their raid is based on illegal info, then it's not legal. Turning secret inadmissible evidence into legal admissible evidence seems tricky. The on

Honest question: Can someone draw the lines for me from looking at call meta data to human rights? Is privacy even a right in the same sense as other human rights? Human rights are generally about what you CAN do, not about what others (ie.

That's not a great rational to not use drones. You're throwing away tons of money maintaining helicopters that you don't need most of the time because it's too hard to regulate the use of drones? That's like forcing

That's really messed up. More outrageous than the TSA... Thanks for the link and sharing the information. Why isn't this discussed more? I guess we only talk about news, not our preexisting long term problems (ex: prisons)

You mean back when people thought blacks were less human than white and women didn't have the right to vote? Back when a depression meant people starving to death? We're not the same society we were back in the 1940s.
