Evidence of a culture where this attitude and conduct seemingly runs rampant.

If he hadn't tried to impede on the investigation, would a blind eye have been turned?

How many other agents personally benefit from such busts?
“Quality” protein is found in plants as well as animals.

There’s no reason that eating chicken is better for a person than eating plants, especially with current state of plant-based foods and recipes that are available making it easy to eat delicious plant-based foods that aren’t just a bowl of beans.
I had the same experience. Tried out V a couple of weeks ago because I needed a really simple GUI application. Compiling example code resulted in errors I couldn't understand nor google. I enjoyed playing around with V until that point, but went back to Go and built my stuff with some giant UI library into a 10mb binary that at least worked how it should. I like V though so I will try it out again sometime
But every trait or behaviour that survives on evolutionary timescales does serve (or did serve, in the case of vestigial features) a purpose. I'm not sure what the exact mechanism is for one's life flashing before the eyes, but the researchers mentioned a very specific alignment of brain wave patterns that seems a bit too intricate to be purely random.

For a complex feature to pass through generations, it has to have some relative positive fitness associated with it. If it didn't provide some survival or fitness advantages, random genetic mutations would simply prevent the effect from being created. It is likely a very ancient survival mechanism based on these NDE existing through many different cultures and eras, and possibly not even specific to humans.
People who talk about whether food is “nutritious” are like anti-vaxxers. There’s no scientific basis to these ideas, just feels.
I have the feeling that many adult performers went to OnlyFans in the first place so they could have control over the price, content, schedule etc. But it looks like OnlyFans like every industry will consolidate over time and bring many of the problems of mainstream porn with it.
From the very same Wikipedia article:

> The label "Turkish" does not refer to Turkey; at the time it was a general term for all Muslims in the Mediterranean region since the majority were a part of the Ottoman Empire. During the 17th century, the majority of those called "Turks" in Algeria, were disowned Christians that had converted to Islam. They were mostly Spanish, Italians, and provençaux (French).

In my experience, most "Western" understanding of European history evolved in the last millennium is completely bereft of the recognition that it was influenced by a heavyweight to their East.

Why did Columbus sail west? Why were the Portuguese going around the horn of Africa to get to Asia?
>Using gc means it's a toy language? Got you.

No, I mean it's a common characteristic of toy languages to use Boehm GC because it requires zero configuration to work, as it scans conservatively. It doesn't require you to emit stack maps or provide the GC with type metadata. Boehm GC means low effort (in regards to memory management). It's perfectly fine to use it, and it's an amazing library itself, but it contrasts with all the claims on the landing page (in the section "innovative memory management").
I think I see what you're asking, but I'm not sure I can give a satisfactory (and correct) answer, here but I think you're on the right track:

> Why can't the W-'s kinetic energy be smaller...

That W- is a virtual particle - it can have any energy (according to some probability distribution) and you're correct that it doesn't _have_ to observe conservation of energy as long as that violation only happens for a very short period of time, which is precisely Heisenberg - there are other numbers it must conserve, such as electric charge.

> (b) quantum uncertainty (Heisenberg, tunneling, etc.) should still mean that bound neutrons should still decay once in a while

We do see this; this is what beta decay is.

> (c) a neutron next to a proton might randomly "swap" places once in a while

In general, this is correct. With limitations on what quantum numbers need to be conserved, these events are all constantly happening all the time. When writing out the equations for the system, you don't really have a term describing a proton and a term describing a neutron; you have a complicated mess of _all possible_ interactions and each elementary particle is described as a sort of "mix" of all the things it could be. So, in that sense, a bound neutron and proton is it's own thing - there's plenty of examples of these quasiparticles throughout physics and the definition of "stable" is quite application specific.
I know neither you nor Andy in person. But from reading Andy online, I get the impression that he is bright, talented, and kind. From reading you, I get the impression of someone bright, talented, and immature. I value your technical contributions here, but at times fear your overall impact on the site.

Banning you from a project is not hypocritical on his part -- it's exactly what he's talking about. He feels, rightly or wrongly, that it's better to remove the source of incivility than to put up with it. You've got a lot of obvious talent and knowledge, but yes, Andy might be a good role model for civil interactions.
Thank you both. I was ignorant of Sinatra and Datamapper.

(Apparently the 'razor' syntax is inspired from HAML in .net, so I think I get what you are saying)
Traditional classroom education is too boring. This is not limited to school, but also in colleges unless you have that rare teacher who can make the class interesting. Great to see MIT researchers taking the problem head-on.
I would like to see video recorded direct from the "eyeball's eye view", because I agree - the video looks generated. As you say, you can see areas where darker superimposed objects overlay lighter areas of reality in the visual field. Can this technology really do that? If so- wow. If not, still wow but just... less wow.
I am very excited about this, I love the Github team and this looks like a great tool.

My only question is -- why should I switch to this from Sublime Text? Are there specific use cases it handles better out of the box, or is it more of a modular base that will be expected to grow and outfeature ST2/3's seasoned plugin economy? I am very happy with Sublime Text now, but I would be willing to switch if either it gained a lot of traction, or could do stuff that I couldn't do with Sublime.
Yes. One of my colleagues tells a fabulous story about 'breaching the Geneva convention' by playing a nurse in a pantomime with a Red Cross on his headpiece.

The reality, of course, is slightly less than that - they used his photo in the promotions, and the Red Cross contacted them to advise that the symbol was protected and 'request' that they change the costume, which of course they were happy to do.
The big difference from my perspective is that Atom isn't currently FOSS. Other than that, the maturity of the emacs ecosystem is both one of its greatest features and a bit of a curse.
Problems like that are the distilled versions of problems you'll often see at places like TopCoder where you have an hour and a half to solve 3 of them. They're looking for skilled TopCoder competitors, basically.
My understanding (from investigating this a couple years ago) is that grass-fed beef, while higher in O3's than corn-fed beef, is not a particularly significant source of dietary O3.
Try Codio: https://codio.com/
“Write a function that finds the longest positive-sum subsequence in an int array and runs in O(n) time.”

That's a horrible interview question. If you know the trick (saw the question before), it's easy. If you don't know the trick, it isn't reasonable to expect someone to figure it out in 5-15 minutes.

That's a brainteaser question disguised as an algorithms question.
Which jurisdiction do your bitcoins really reside in any way?

Someone’s bitcoin are always on the blockchain; the private keys required to move or spend them reside in the jurisdiction with whoever has those keys.
Maybe the muons are hitting the angels at a good fractions of the speed of light and the difference is the angel-splat. Maybe FERMI can contract Dr Klaus to come up the an experiment to measure the angel-goo and true the difference right up. Thanks for the link to an 'authoritative source'. :-)
> We all know that "somewhere" old COBOL code is running, but in practice the companies managing the bulk of data for society didn't even exist before Y2K. Everyone with unmaintainable COBOL has long since migrated to really bad Java code instead.

Not quite. I'd suggest that there are still many trillions of dollars worth of people's money still managed in COBOL on mainframe core banking systems. Certainly the "big 4" banks in Australia all still have such systems in production (though they also have java systems)

Disclosure: I have worked for a few banks.
> The state has already drawn those lines,

And surely the state is never one or two elections from redrawing those lines to include you right? That would be impossible right? You have all the “correct” ideas... and I’m sure those KKK spectres don’t think the same damn thing.

You’re right; let’s not be good, just, or ethical to anyone the state doesn’t force us to. ESP when their only crime is thinking the wrong thing. That’s a really good system that would surely never bite the wrong people in the ass.
>I am talking about a much more general class of security than just XSS.

And what would those be that are relevant to this discussion? The way we (ab)use cookies is arguably not their intended use either.

I can't think of a scenario in this context where an attacker says "damn he is using http-only cookies, I won't be able to do what I want to do"

The only pragmatic difference between both is js accessibility. That only matters when someone can inject scripts into your site. My point is, when that happens, cookies are also bust.
Hey, this is Pavan. I just created an open source project called Cryptogalaxy, by using which you can get any cryptocurrencies ticker and trade data from multiple exchanges through REST / websocket and save it into multiple storage systems.

Currently supported exchanges : FTX, Coinbase Pro, Binance, Bitfinex, HBTC.

Currently supported storages : Terminal Output, MySQL, Elastic Search.

All feedback welcome.

Thanks.
Why would they even bother donating that little :) even the admin processing and approval process is likely to cost more.

Perhaps it was not in money but some hardware that had to be declared as a donation for tax reasons?
> Google signed a statement saying the company's workers had the right to discuss pay and conditions with each other.

erm, doesn't American labor law prohibit retaliatory actions for doing discussing working conditions?
In Switzerland about one per mille or even less.
Right, that's how things are, but it's not probably what should be. Man-made contraptions are hardly long-term stable or hospitable to life, including our own.

Additionally, IVF bypasses natural selection since it is artificial.
Sure, but users still have to make the decision to install that apk.

Yes, there's a security risk, but what's really being said here is "we're going to decide what you're allowed to do so you won't hurt yourself".

And I guess I just don't think that should be their decision to make.

Or to put it another way: Apple can keep the app store, and even make it the default, but there should be a setting to allow installing things from outside the app store. It can even be behind a few scary popups warning the user of the danger.
You’re trying to create a sort of virtual reality, that’s why you need so much world-building. For example, the idea in ”Uncle Tom’s Cabin” is to get the reader to live the life of a slave. The best way to achieve that in writing is details, so the reader can make a picture in their heads. Some people are better than others in making these pictures. Movies are trying to achieve a similar effect, but it’s much easier there.

It is definitely about making an emotional connection. To persuade someone from that angle, think of it like this: a lot of people who were not abolitionists changed their minds after reading Uncle Tom’s Cabin. If it wasn’t for that book, we would not be living in our modern world.

You need to make someone feel the horrors of slavery in order to get them to want to do something about it. That the brain is able to actually be able to go into this alternate reality just with words on papers is actually pretty crazy but definitely valuable.

Plus, a book doesn’t have to just have a single point. Look at “Brothers Karamazov”. There also wouldn’t be a modern world if it wasn’t for that book.

That’s not something you can do with anything other than art. To change someone’s mind. To influence someone...You can’t do that sort of societal change with a list article or a summary or even an essay.

I don’t think it’s a frivolous thing. It’s actually the most valuable and important work you can do if you want to change the world for the better.
The issue isnt that they did or didn't.

The issue is that they can
These are all true points.

I think there are other interests beyond oil also:

- MIC: weapon sales and US military budget justification

- Focal-point for US proxy conflict with global adversaries

- Monetize Iran - Saudi Arabia tensions; simultaneously stoking it and tempering it

Getting away from oil, normalizing relations with Iran, and bringing SA and Iran closer together would work against the above interests but would deescalate tensions and obviate a major pretext for regional imperial occupation.
Yeah, but they didn't really go into fan efficiency with pressure drops or motor efficiency.

One other thing is longevity and even safety. Maybe their use of multiple filters reduces the pressure enough. But if it doesn't, then the motor will wear out pretty quickly and could potentially start a fire if it's generating enough heat. The motor in my setup gets pretty hot when running at full power.
I honestly believe that Godot will overtake Unity one day. Unity has a huge amount of momentum, but it kind of feels to me like the difference between JQuery and React right when React was a fledgling library. While Unity has a lot of entrenched developers that have been using it for years, my (unfounded) opinion is that new developers entering the gamedev scene will pick Godot over Unity more frequently, and that will bear out in the long run (years).

I know this is kind of unrelated to your point, though :) Additionally, I use Ableton all the time and I don't see any FOSS alternatives that hold a candle to it. Then again, I could be one of those entrenched devs just like those I said exist working with Unity!
Renting also doesn't make any sense in this context. Facebook sells ad space, stop making up nonsensical analogies.
Yep! I include Water in Food, but definitely extremely important as well.
Checking your ego (against reality) and getting rid of it completely are 2 different things.
What's worse is that closing a tab is undone with Cmd-Z, but closing a window is undone with History -> Reopen Last Closed Window.
It was possible to get around this in the past by falling back to an S3 URL, but it was a hassle and this makes life much easier.
Any world view that doesn't account for what you describe is certainly lacking.

Edit: Actually I read the whole article and it does seem to get a bit weird and certainly seems somewhat less than a completely scholarly work.
I think you would be surprised. :-)

You're right about unbiased news though. It's a myth.

You really need to make up your own mind and read various sources to get some balance. I'm pretty sure all news has some inherent bias.

Opinion is fine, but don't try to make out like it's real news. Techcrunch is a major offender here.
"In the meantime, please clone the repository on your local computer so we can have a lot of copies of it."

Wow. That's uh. Something.
...but if you purchase a car, and the car will not run without the software, did you purchase a license for the car? There is a distinction here that may be worth considering which goes counter to practical application. If a car is "owned" but the software is "leased" then there's a new kind of transactional contract that needs to be set forth in plain language...or lawyered until the cows come home...
Sure, but the same logic could be be applied to Rolling Stone for the UVa hoax.

There is no journalism involved - the publication simply acted as a mouthpiece to a deranged individual and harmed innocent people as a result.

Part of it is older publications having to compete with online sources who often have lower standards than traditional print journalism.
I blame Intel. Its time for x86 CPU that drops all of this compatibility nonsense. Imagine something crazy like x86 bootstraping in protected (or long) mode.

real 16 bit? gone

virtual mode? gone

MSR? gone

CRx? gone, btw wtf happened to CR1?

Im sure MS would be onboard (if not extatic) with CPU that can run only the newest version of Windows. Linux would happily adapt in couple of weeks. There is maybe <1% of computers with CPU ever touching this swamp of cruft and hacks outside of bios/bootloader.
Just gonna leave this here: https://twitter.com/fucktyler/status/285670822264307712

I can't wait until this outrage culture fad is over and we can collectively move on to more interesting things.
If you tried out Tribler you probably acted as an exit node for someone's downloads. Check if your ISP issued warnings to you as well.
I wholeheartedly agree with the author here, but I also think Apple is even worse in some regards. Ever since iOS 7 I don't even trust their UI guidelines anymore. Look at this picture of the Music app on my iPhone: http://imgur.com/6ADrt9U

What does the text on the bottom mean? Oh you can't read it? Yeah it's Chinese. These are the "buttons" for Repeat, Shuffle, etc. I have no idea what kind of designer thought it was wise to use text instead of icons there, especially since most icons in a music player are easily recognized most of the time.

It all started with this "trend" to go flat, now I can't even see what are supposed to be buttons and what not.
RAM is a bit of a slippery slope. Yes, if you've got it you should use it. It is there to be used. But we don't have enough of it yet to just shovel it out the window as fast as we can. Additionally it impacts performance (RAM access is not free) and limits compatibility with older devices.
Yup. I had 1 iPhone, my first and last Apple product.

My mom just got an iPad mini, was infuriated when she discovered she can't buy Kindle books from the Kindle app like she could on Android.

The artificial restrictions Apple places on developers and users are ridiculous. And Android 5 is the first release where I can say that Android is unequivocally a nicer experience than iOS...
Free VPN would reduce the speed and quality of the skype call. It would be really hard on a 2G network.
Linkbait headline is linkbait.

Certain patients (those classified as 'high risk') do better when cardiologists in certain hospitals (teaching hospitals) are away at academic meetings.
Did some google search and yes you are right. I just assumed that moving on a work visa also falls under immigration.
It's hard to pin liability on specific individuals without documentary proof, as verbal conversations are ephemeral and criminal liability usually requires a demonstration of intent which is hard to establish in court.
companies can build the cost of fines into the price of their product to some extent, and whenever a company is fined a large amount there's always a contingent of unquestioningly-pro-business people available to denounce it a 'gubmint shakedown,' and make noises about tyranny, liberty, due process and so on - regardless of the degree to which the regulatory action is warranted.
When I found out about monads it was after I'd already implemented the same abstraction. It actually comes up quite a lot (async calls, error handling, audit logging, database access). http://m50d.github.io/2013/01/16/generic-contexts.html . Just like when I was told about "the visitor pattern", my reaction was mostly "that? I've been doing that for years. So that's what it's called".

Still, it's worth knowing the name for a concept so that you can talk to people about it, and it's certainly worth knowing the library tools that exist and can save you time. Pretty often I'll write two or three lines of code, look at it, and then realise "oh, that's just traverseM" or some such. Even if it doesn't save me any time writing, replacing three lines with one library call is a huge bonus to maintainability.
The public version of AngularDart (i.e. not the one that Google maintains for its internal teams) is in maintenance mode, which is a shame because it was awesome.
I think it may be more scary for code that allows arbitrary execution using command-line arguments. Commands like find or xargs using without defense against this would be a problem. For example, site that does something precious with your uploaded pet pictures.

Defending against this being the use of -- to signal an end of command line arguments.
Very cool. Is the next step integration with Manta so you can specify an environment of Linux executables to map over your data?
I'm reminded of this entry:

"The map of Cassini or map of the Academy is the first topographic and geometric map established of the Kingdom of France as a whole. The map was for the time a real innovation and a decisive technical advance. It is the first map to be based on a geodesic triangulation. Four generations of the Cassini carried out the work."

That will end up becoming an interesting court case, followed by a set of laws, followed by a court case, until such a thing is almost certainly illegal (in the United States), by pressure of societal desire alone.

One could do something similar with facial recognition software, but if someone tried to make a large business out of it, I'm sure there would be significant friction.
Is it illegal to put infrared LEDs around your license plate to obscure it to these cameras?
> if it starves the fuel of oxygen

My understanding is that it doesn't starve the fuel of oxygen, but rather starves it of activation energy. I'm fuzzy on the chemistry, but I remember it being like this:

fuel + O2 + activation energy -> CO2 + H2O + energy

The propagating sound waves move two of the input components of the reaction.

fuel: stationary

O2: moves, but is replaced by more O2

activation energy: moves and is missing from future reactions unless/until new activation energy is introduced.

Again, I took chem long ago, but I think that's what's going on.
Hmm, my experience did not match this at all. Office 365 has been a joy to use. Really, just go to office.live.com (directly linked from office.microsoft.com if you start there) & sign in... You are prompted to create or upload a document similar to Google docs.
I've been using a Xiaomi M4 (Android phone) for the last months. So far so good. I think Xiaomi is creating attractive products at a low price point (don't know if they are infringing IPs though). I posted more detailed information about my Xiaomi experience here: http://towp8.com/2014/12/24/switching-from-ios-to-android-my...
