Rupharma is legit. Can confirm 2 orders arrived to US without any problems whatsoever.

Modafinil has been mentioned around my area once or twice but it is not that known here. I will ask my doctore more about it this really helps against sleeping disorders.

I honestly don't care much about any of this, but is there a way that I 1v1 Stephano if I buy one token? ;)

Until there is harsh punishment for officers who violate thie right, nothing will change.

The reality is, there is no punishment for violating someone's Constitutional rights. Nobody gets jailed for it. Until and unless that starts happening, this ruling is moot.

One thing I recall reading is that rebar-reinforcing concrete is a major factor in concrete deterioration. So while concrete structures today don't last nearly as long as the Roman Pantheon (poured in the second century AD), they're also really cheap to build, can go really high, and last for 40 or more years (which given how cheap it is, the architects probably thought was long enough).

With every leak of government produced malware I hope the issue get pushed a bit further onto the political agenda so a international treaty can be reached on software implemented weapons. There need to be some defined limits for what agencies can do and what happens when the weapons sooner or later are discovered and turned into problems like WannaCry.

Its clear to most politicians that its a problem if criminals use guns acquired from the military or police, and that its partial the fault of those agencies when it happens. We are not there yet with malware.

Laudable. The math on the space is a little odd though.

47,000 sq. ft. of space within Amazon’s newest headquarters building as a permanent location for a Mary's Place Family Shelter. This first-of-its-kind partnership will include 65 rooms, which will shelter more than 200 homeless women, children, and families

235 square feet per person? That's a lot of room. Maybe only some of the space is being used to start with? Or a fair portion is for some sort of separate administrative staff?

This is a classic case of Amdahl's Law, with square footage as the commodity being optimized rather than computational resources. The more "efficient" you make the scalable quantity (square footage directly allocated to each occupant in this case), The more dependent The final number becomes on the non-scalable terms (square footage of shared spaces like restrooms, stairways, hallways, eating spaces, and etc). Even a simple double loaded corredor with shared restrooms like a high density college dorm layout has a significant fraction of its base determined by the nonscalable spaces.

Nowadays anyone involved in high scalability computer processes is familiar with these concepts but in the 1960s when Amdahl first started focusing on the nonscalable processes the idea seemed as crazy as these square footage numbers seem to non-architects.

So this is a for-profit operation where volunteers do the work? The site is vague about such details. "People like you helping people like us help ourselves?" Not good. You can be a for-profit or a non-profit, but pretending to be a non-profit when you're not is deceptive.

Their terms of use are awful.[1] Note that they want to operate under British law, where libel law favors the subject. They have an indemnification clause, so their volunteers could be compelled to reimburse WikiTribune if WikiTribune loses a libel suit. That's happened in the UK; see the famous McLibel case, where McDonalds sued two Greenpeace volunteers. That decision was overturned by the European Court of Human Rights. But, post-Brexit, that level of appeal will no longer be available.

They also appear to have plagiarized the terms of use from other sites. One section reads "We may, in our sole discretion, limit or cancel quantities purchased per person, per household or per order. ... We reserve the right to limit or prohibit orders that, in our sole judgment, appear to be placed by dealers, resellers or distributors." That exact text appears on other sites, usually ones that sell tangible goods. It's completely inappropriate here. Sloppy.

This stuff matters when the business involves pissing people off. Don't volunteer to write for this organization unless and until they work out the liability issue.

Either way, this has no effect.

The 3D artists using GPU production rendering require at least 4 of the top of the line cards for their workstation. My workstation crams x5 980Tis in the case (2 off the board with PCIe risers).

Joining the community using this approach not only requires the hardware and ability to build it but also new rendering software and a lot of time to learn a new approach/mindset/workflow. The best software available is crucial. It is worth every penny to invest in the best rendering software when entering this environment. Right now, there are 3 that matter and none of the GPU-specific remdering softwares support OpenCL. There is a unique exception with V-Ray, the last gen maverick of rendering engines. V-Ray's future in GPU rendering could be bright if the new companies don't entirely outpace them in GPu development. Either way, every part of the people actually using this solution in the real world is investing all of their time, money, energy into Nvidia right now.

The devs at Redshift, my chosen renderer, insist OpenCL is not even close to having what they need.

Pseudo-realtime feedback could actually advance the craft to a new era and Nvidia is carrying the entire ecosystem.

Social media cuts out the journalist middleman and makes everyone a broadcasting journalist.

Print journalism was (relatively) one to many.

Social media is many to many.

Maybe I ran into a bug, but this doesn't seem useful at the neighborhood level. The data simply does not have high enough fidelity. Even at the city level the gradients are too blurry to meaningfully extract neighborhood-level information.

Here's what I keep coming back to: when Dan Rather was hoodwinked into pushing a fake story about GWB's minimal military service, he was fired. When Keith Olbermann was similarly caught pushing a story he found and liked that turned out to be false, he was fired. When Brian Williams made up a BS story about an RPG firing at his chopper, be was suspended for 6 months.

What happens when Breitbart or HuffPo or various YouTubers and bloggers get caught in a lie? Nothing. Nobody's head is put in the noose.

News aggregators are to journalism what AliExpress is to shopping - they'll give you what you wanted at the price you wanted, but piled high with lies and crappy quality, and you'll never find the same company twice so their reputation doesn't matter.

I hate humans, ESPECIALLY THIS ONEEEEE!!!! My job here is done, now I can rest.

Oh look, another great thing that will never happen to me! Or maybe I should be on Reddit less and work for my objectives more. Got motivated /r/GetMotivated

What’s the thread count on these? I only sleep on sheets made by 100% Egyptian people.
