Yes, you can't even turn them off by unplugging them, as it were. A certain kind of emergency shutdown dumps the helium needed to allow superconductivity (and thus maintain the magnetic field). It costs like $20,000 to do this and is quite dangerous in itself.
This simulation concludes that you need a portfolio of 100-150 startups to achieve a good return because there are a few home runs that contain much of the gain. Miller calculated the number was 20-30. These results were apparently used by http://www.rightsidecapital.com/ to develop their new approach.

At least it makes sense why I received a bunch of spam calls over the weekend.

Anyway it's probably good practice to recycle your number every few years, and not use it for 2FA to make switching numbers a lot easier. Who knows what services I'll be locked out of once I change, let's hope not too many.
So this is basically Viloxazine, a drug no longer sold because it was unprofitable as an antidepressant, and now repurposed as a non-stimulant drug for ADHD.

It appears to be cardiotoxic, working like a Tricyclic Antidepressant (TCA), yet less so than imipramine.

It works by increasing levels of norepinephrine, altering some serotonin transmission, and maybe reducing some neurotransmitter release in the frontal cortex by increasing certain GABA receptors.

I wonder how well this drug will work in real life for children with ADHD...time will tell, and psychiatrists will give us their opinion.

Completely off topic language remark: I don’t think you should self-censor. Write ‘fuck’ if you think it’s appropriate, don’t write ‘fuck’ if you don’t think it’s appropriate. Everything else seems childish and unnecessary to me.

I don’t think that “Why the F …” is less offensive than “Why the Fuck …”, I rather think the author takes me for a fool.

Yeah I misunderstood what you said.
The diff mental model doesn't work for things like `git checkout <commit>`.
Most European prisons are similar to what you describe (though the focus is on education and training, not working to earn money).

They have much lower recidivism rates than the US (unlike the US prison system, which is optimized to punish and profit, those systems are optimized to reduce crime).
>I still think that it's more intuitive to describe commits as diffs, in the context of things like cherry-picking a commit or rebasing/reordering a series of commits.

If I understood the article correctly, those things actually are implemented via diffs. It's just that the diffs are calculated on-the-fly, used to create a new snapshot, and then discarded.
I was under the impression you were the one who I originally replied to, sorry for the confusion. Regardless I found that link after 4 seconds of googling, there’s a lot of FUD out there when you use all the necessary keywords and I’m not gonna spend it to get low level responses (from ppl who have zero understanding of the situation but criticize any ways), but if you’re interested it shouldn’t be too hard to find.

Out of curiosity, in case someone can explain this to me, I want to ask a question. Tickets for an event went on sale at 10AM from a local venue. You can buy tickets from the venue site, but not pick a location, just a price point. Each time I select a ticket and price point they ask me to enter a captcha. I try again and again to see a no seats message. I go over to StubHub and BigStub only 7 minutes after 10AM and see they have thousands of tickets available for sale at a 50% price increase. They also have better seats than were available to me on the venue's site.

Is the venue just pre-selling tickets to StubHub or BigStub, or are there scalpers buying that many tickets.

People have been talking about this problem for decades. The only information from this era likely to survive is what's stored in plain text or other easy to interpret format. Do you really think people 500 years from now will be able to watch the Blu-ray of Paul Blart Mall Cop 2? It's more likely that they'll be able to create a C compiler and build some of the free software of today.
I don't think unfinished portions will have any kind of real negative impact(though I would love to see it fully connected).

Who is inconvenienced if the trail is only, say, 95% connected?

1) Cross-country bikers. There are so few of these kinds of people that they aren't even really worth thinking about (note: I am one).

2) Local bikers who live near the unconnected portions. Usually the unconnected portions will be either in a) extremely rural areas, or b) extremely built-up areas. If it's (a), then there naturally aren't many bikers for that section anyway, since the population of the area will be low. And if it's (b), there will be more bikers, but also there will generally be alternate routes that are bikeable if you can't go on that exact route.

So, all in all, this project is nice regardless of whether it is fully connected.

I gave up on IntelliJ and went back to NetBeans because of the bass-ackwards way IntelliJ handles Maven projects. There's no need for both IntelliJ's project file and the POM to track dependencies. In fact, there's no need for IntelliJ to maintain its own project file at all outside the POM.

If Steven Levy's "In the Plex" reflects current reality, Google buys very cheap failure-prone HDDs and builds in a lot of redundancy: "Google's first CIO, Douglas Merrill, once noted that the disk drives Google purchased were 'poorer quality than what you would put into your kid's computer at home.'"

I do not have a lot to add to the conversation, except some examples from ML, in particular, the Support Vector Machine was conceived much earlier than it was published but Vapnik's work was repeatedly rejected, yet SVMs are one of ML's brightest achievements.

Similarly, the Neural Network was repeatedly dismissed, with Minsky being a prominent example.

Not all ideas amount the same, but perhaps, at least in ML, we need to be open to exploring as many ideas as possible instead of performing grad student descent on the current consensus valley.
There are two possible strategies for the problem you describe:

Either you vaccinate everyone world-wide at the same time as quickly as possible. Then mutations that make the virus resistant to vaccinations only have the time to occur during the time it takes to vaccinate. However, we do not have sufficient production capacity for doing this. We would have to wait a few years before even starting the vaccinations, otherwise the virus would "mutate away" from the vaccine. Or it would mutate away, if the campaign took too long, because everyone is waiting for the slow drip of doses...

Or you do divide and conquer: Put up travel restrictions, quarantine and testing regimes to split up the problem into smaller areas and subsets of the global population. Quickly vaccinate each of those, so that the virus doesn't have time to mutate away. If possible eradicate the virus in those regions. Then start with the next set of regions and populations, possibly adapting the vaccine to the variants that have occured there. Eradicate the virus there. Then lift the travel restrictions between the regions where the virus has been eradicated. Repeat until done.

Accidentally, the latter one is what we are doing. However, I fear the travel restrictions are too lax to really make it work, because it isn't really planned, just accidential.
I bought a book some years back about how to defeat burglar alarm systems, as I wanted to make my home more resistant to burglars. The book described a sophisticated system that would detect burglar entry and then automatically phone the cops.

The defeat was to chop the phone line where it entered the house, because the telephone company puts their box on the exterior of the house. (The book was printed before cell phones.) The sophisticated $$$$ detection system, defeated by the simple swing of an axe.

Relying on detection requires a perfect detection system, which is impossible.

Energy usage is superlinear below a certain point. As I recall, about 25% of homes in Texas use heat pumps. but below 30-ish degrees, heat pumps don't work and they have to switch to resistance-based heating So, demand will start rising a whole lot faster.

Okay, given that the security angle is a subterfuge, but let's say you run a hotel with a network named "RyansExorbitantWifi" and I set up a WAP named "RyanWifi-Free".

It puts the web server that is doing the hosting of the site in general into PCI scope.

So essentially, every card payment service where the merchant's web site touches the payment flow beyond directly linking to an entire page hosted by a third party is dead? Because on a literal reading, I don't see how any of those services or the merchants using them can possibly be exempt from the new rules, and I don't see how it is going to be commercially viable for any small merchant using any of those services to comply. Say goodbye to Stripe and its various clones, Checkout or otherwise. Forget using any sort of A/B testing on your sign-up pages that isn't entirely self-hosted, or using any third party analytics to track visitors through the flow. Basically, you can use a fully hosted service provided by a major bank (and we all know how well those convert and how well the giant financial services firms typically treat small businesses) or you're out of luck.

If that is really what the new rules are meant to say then this appears to be dumb on an EU VAT mess scale of dumb, with the added dumbness that since it's not actually a legal requirement to comply with PCI DSS, roughly 0% of merchants who should in theory be affected actually will. All it's going to do is reinforce the image of the card payment industry as a dinosaur and hasten its demise by destroying the best idea they've had in years: allowing small businesses to actually take card payments on-line without jumping through silly numbers of hoops.
A recipient could have listened. A recipient could have not listened. I still think it is dishonest when it is someone's intention to fish for agreements. I originally speculated as to whether this was the case, and he/she has said otherwise.
Yes, compare with recent discussion about Wikipedia fundraising language, http://www.quora.com/Are-donations-instead-of-ads-or-chargin...

"The Wikimedia Foundation recently raised $20 million. Assuming a generous $3 million to keep the projects online per year, that's over six _years_ that the projects could continue operating before needing to ask for money again. Contrast with e-mails and in-site donation advertising that suggest that the lights will go off soon if readers don't donate today."
To be a bit more specific as to where else these ideas are found:

* Run regular code at compile time

Lisp, of course. Since very long ago.

* Extend the language (AST templates and macros);
this can be used to add a form of list comprehensions to the language!

Lisp, but also Dylan, Elixir, JS with Sweet.js and more. See for example here: https://opendylan.org/articles/macro-system/index.html

* Add your own optimizations to the compiler!

I'm not sure here.

* Bind (easily) to your favorite C functions and libraries

Almost every serious language has FFI for C. Nimrod offers a possibility to use statically linked libraries, which is not very popular, but for example Gambit Scheme does this since long ago.

* Unified Call Syntax, so mystr.len() is equivalent to len(mystr)

Lua, somewhat. Also Dylan again.

* Good performance -- not placing too much emphasis on this,
but it's faster than C++ in his benchmark

Too many to count.

* Compile to JavaScript

OCaml. And more: almost every language has a compile-to-JS project for it (although only a couple are workable).

EDIT:

> typesafe enums are also extremely old

Aren't those just sum types? This would make them as old as ML at least.

This of course doesn't make Nimrod any less interesting a language and some combinations of those features may be rather novel. Still, 'everything old is new again' I think is 100% true for all of these features. In reality you won't ever encounter truly unprecedented features in general purpose languages and outside of academia: one can go to LtU site for those. All the rest languages are built on really old (proven) concepts, which they reimplement and package in a (very) different ways. I have no idea why would you get downvoted for stating such fact.
That is true, but one can certainly envisage such measures harming the state in the long run - increased bureaucracy might prevent some companies from starting which would succeed and therefore deprive the state of tax revenue. One Google would cover the costs of a lot of failed startups :)

(Not really an economist either, although I do have a little training in the area..)
This wouldn't work in New York where you can call cabs from the street, but I lived in a town in Minnesota where there was a "non-payer" phone-number list that cab companies used. If you didn't pay the driver, your phone wouldn't get through to any cab company until you paid it back, plus interest and a processing penalty.

It seems like a "bad client" list would be, at least, a partial solution.
Yes please.

Also, the poll at http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2445039 showed that most people agree.
I'm still in the prototype phase of a project with the same problem, and it's the one aspect of it that makes me nervous.

Note that you don't always need to store the password - GMail will let you do IMAP using OAuth, and Yahoo has their Mail Applications. My own plan is to launch with support for those and find out a little about demand for the product before we start storing people's passwords.

My information might be a bit stale so this is as much a question as a statement, but I believe that Google Talk does not quite follow the Jingle XEP. They claim to be working very hard on bringing Gmail Chat in line with the spec, which I presume diverged from their working implementation.
Sure - to be clear I'm not tied to upvotes as a number specifically, and I doubt anyone else is. But give us SOMETHING.
If someone balks at the warning: "This website has not registered with Google to establish a secure connection for authorization requests. We recommend that you deny access unless you trust the website.", and clicks [Deny], they will receive a really ugly trace dump.
Wait, which step is profit? Or is that step 0?
Programming is so faddish!

Yes, sadly; and this is because programming languages, like spoken languages, live and die by their community. And it's harder to cross-pollinate programming languages since all changes must be backwards-compatible with existing source text. Language interop is usually terrible. You can't easily bring just a bit of Inform into an application.

This is very slowly improving with the popularity of compile-to-llvm, compile-to-CLR, and compile-to-JS as intermediate targets.

The other factor in faddishness is ahistoricity; the most energetic and community-orientated people are young, but interested in building their own new wheels while overthrowing the old wheel order.
A little too "inspired"
I am currently reading Robert Causey's Logic, Sets and Recursion, which is intended to bridge the gap between introductory freshman/sophomore "introductory discrete math" courses and senior level mathematical logic. I am only about a third of the way through it right now, but I have already learned several useful things, I especially found the discussion of mathematical definition of "relations" enlightening. The biggest complaint I have about it, is that it uses different terminology from the previous logic I have read, "sentential logic" rather than "propositional logic" for example, but at least it mentions the alternative terms when it introduces its own.
> most productive uses

The problem comes when you try to define this phrase in a way that’s not a tautology.

Our current economic system defines economic productivity to be the thing that generates the highest economic returns according to the rules of the system.

Without an independently derived set of values the phrase doesn’t have any descriptive value.

You could just as well be describing Bostrom’s paperclip maximizer, and I would suggest, in fact, that this is exactly what you’re doing.

Plenty -- so much that CNN Travel named Fukuoka one of its must-visit destinations for 2019.
