Where is the data on this?

Here's what I can find:
https://www.aavmc.org/data/ima...

This shows a HUGE ramp downward in men, and a giant upslope of women.

This shows 78.6% females in the most recent year.

I also can't find a thing showing the study you refer to- a massive group preference for men, and a switch when blinded.

Frankly, the Death Star was even too big for its own in-universe fiction. As something a fraction of the size of a moon, covered entirely in guns, in a universe where that's a pretty overwhelming strategy, the fact that it would obliterate a fleet is entirely given- hence the "send the little ships in" thing being the only hope.

But what if the law were a bit different?

In this case, there's no real doubt he did it. Same with the asshole from the Aurora shooting. And they killed like, a bunch of people each. Normal concerns about whether the DA is trying to kill some mentally retarded man, or find some way to execute whatever skin tone they have a beef with, are off the table.

It's interesting that no one is trying to raise the bar for crimes that can result in execution, given that people are a lot more ok with executions in these cases. I guess no one wants to go out and say "if there's X eyewitnesses and you kill Y people then..."

It sends the message "If you mass murder people, you yourself will be executed".

Not about hate. Justice.

But that's a self-caused problem. If someone is arguing about the cost, then reasonably they should be ok with reducing the cost. In fact, they never are- they are morally opposed to the concept of the execution to begin with, and are just grabbing whatever is nearby to throw instead of arguing for real. We could definitely envision a place where it's much cheaper to execute than imprison (cheaper lawyers, faster trials, less oversight, unilateral death sentences from masked judges- even actually reasonably conditions for our prisoners would push the calculus away from that).

It's not about the cost, and it's bullshit whenever anyone brings it up.

"Yeah, I'm aware that Muslim terrorists are waging war on three continents already, against people who ARE NOT arrogant, overbearing bastards with military bases located around the world."

The US isn't any more "arrogant" or "overbearing" than any other nation, and the US does a shit lot of good around the world.

Much more importantly- it's not "food for thought". It's fucking HORSESHIT. The damage done by violent Islamists appears roughly proportional to how much they are resisted with deadly force, and *no other fucking thing at all*.

Tolerant places? Blown up.
Their own places? Blown up.
Shia? Blown up by some Sunni extremist.
Sunni? Blown up by some Sunni extremist too.

The safest place from violent Islamists is the United States, because the US has the power and technology to defend its citizens. That's a fact.

Did you follow IS and A-Q declared jihad on each other or something? I don't think they are blowing each other up yet, but they will.

These are violent terrorists. They will give no quarter. They will not choose targets based on turning your fat stupid belly up and begging.

Plenty of OSes have, over the course of history, been written in assembly.

And all of them proprietary, just like this one.

Menuet is cool, but I don't see a compelling reason to use closed source assembly unless it demonstrates some really crazy superpowers. It's also an odd case of a GPL codebase switching to a closed source license a couple years before it becomes useful.

Kolibri forked from the GPLed 32 bit branch, but I don't think it's pure ASM at all.

Definitely lost a house in a hurricane and lived in hurricane country for years, so yes, I know what I'm talking about.

> Essentially, yes, you get some warnings.

"Some warnings" = Paper talks about it, all over the internet, all over the news, weather station tracks it a huge percent of the time, government issues statements.

You also have a huge window to evacuate in. This is not some sky-is-falling thing- the power of the storms are well known, their trajectory is iffy when they are mid-Atlantic but well known by the time they are going to make land (no, you don't know whether your building will take eyewall or not), etc.

Everyone. Fucking. Knows.

People evacuate. Valuables go with them. Pets go with them. If hurricanes weren't well known and had huge warning, the death tolls would be incredible. If you have enough time to evacuate huge swaths of population, you can grab your fucking SSDs on the way out.

"Businesses in that sort of situation would not expect any need to do something special because they've switched to SSDs."

Sure, and *you wouldn't let your hard drive ride out a storm either*. Certainly not if you give a fuck about the data in it. You can have A ROOF GO AWAY during a storm, and even if you aren't facing that kind of storm, it's reasonable for water to get absolutely EVERYWHERE. So no, you don't assume your HDDs are good to sit, you don't toss them in a little safe and bail, they go in the vehicles. So do the SDDs.

"Finally, to answer your other post: 100 degrees indoors in buildings without AC a couple of days after the hurricane is quite normal. "

It absolutely is not after a hurricane. Most big hurricanes hit in the fall, not the summer. You COULD get an August storm (unlucky), that is powerful enough to wreck the power (unluckIER, as those are normally less powerful), followed, not by cooling rains, but by clear days or other warm weather (even WAY unluckier, as the path of the storm normally will bring in some lesser weather over the next few days). Telling me that it can get past 100 in the tropics, not news. But saying that you that you would be really unlucky to have 100+ degree days after a serious hurricane is absolute fact.

Also, you'd have to get really unlucky to have 100 degree days right after a hurricane. It can happen, but it's by no means likely.

If the step 2 of your failure scenario is "hurricane", you...

1)- Have plenty of possible mitigation. Hurricans are trackable and reasonably predictable, and you could load your things into an evac van, or back them up, or have a generator. If you don't have a generator, it's super possible to acquire one- those things are sold by the side of the road after a real storm.
2)- Have a pretty good plan. A hurricane hitting your data center, house, or anything at all is certainly able to destroy it anyway, without a convoluted thing. Additionally, you'll have hurricane insurance, which will cover stuff like this.
3)- Got pretty much smited by a storm god. If that's your failure scenario, that's ok.

In social situations, pot is "host makes it", and Keurig is "press your own button", probably because of the labor and cup selection. I've never seen someone standing around a Keurig. ur doin it rong!

I get Starbucks coffee a few times a week- any time I don't make my own, and sometimes in the afternoon even if I do.

I definitely like their coffee. It's not as good as you can make yourself, but that's a high standard. Certainly, they are the best coffee anywhere between my work and my home, and that distance is non trivial. There's a couple shops downtown that blow it away, but those are not on my commute, nor, for that matter, anywhere convenient unless you are next to them already (which is still plenty of people- but it doesn't help me on a normal day).

Why do you want the "Keurig ship to sink"? If you need better coffee than it makes, well, you already can do that. My aunt and uncle have a Keurig, and boy does it kick ass for them. A bunch of people over? No problem with the Keurig. Everyone self serves without you having to be a bad hostess. Put the thing on, tease the dog while it works.

Keurig isn't for YOU. You were not really the market, and maybe someone will come up with a version that actually makes excellent coffee, them or a competitor. But who cares if you don't like it enough to not use it, or if I don't like it enough to buy it? I bet there's a lot of consumer products you don't want or use, do their ships need to sink too?

Hipsters pour over, French press, or have a great coffee shop just a couple blocks north. Yuppies or whatever use the Keurig. Or at an office, those things are amazing there when you don't have the ability to go wash and deal with beans and crap.

I use a French press, but my experience with Keurig on travel and at relative's places has been good. I'm sure throwing away a few plastic cups won't hurt anything at all, and a point about thirty million people isn't going to convince me otherwise, because I'm not thirty fucking million people.

It's super convenient and fast and makes cute little robot wookie noises. But, I mean, it's more expensive than a French press, each cup is more expensive than a French press, not as great coffee as a French press, and I don't get to swirl the coffee with a butter knife while staring down the road from my window. Each thing has its ups and downs... but if you are trying to add "saving the environment", that's just delusional.
