I don't know who Robert Sapolsky is, I admit my ignorance, but you shouldn't believe people just because they are people. You should believe peer reviewed studies instead, regardless of who writes them.

Just saying. Claiming that Robert Sapolsky himself (whoever that is) is more correct than the post you are replying to, without providing citations to (peer reviewed and accepted) studies is nonsensical.
Yes we have to make the html and css more dynamic for single page application because it will take less time and single handed coded by the developers. So in this time we have to use frameworks that have some additional features that we dont use in our website or application we use some of them which is really suit to our need and there are lots of browser having compatibility issues if html and css become more dynamic and independent the compatibility issue will be solve and we dont need for extra time for using plugins and make them for our needs.
Google regularly crawls websites. They know if a site still exists. It's not a 5 year old result, it's a website that has existed at least 5 years.
Guys, I didn't mean to start such a discussion over the wording. I said it was misleading, not "cannot be interpreted correctly."

In particular, by saying that X's profit dropped below Y's for the first time (without context of X and Y) suggests TO ME that X's profit dropped when that was not the case.

By "misleading," I meant that had I not known profit figures already, I would have assumed the title meant that Microsoft's profit had fallen. It means that the understanding it leads you to believe initially is incorrect, hence misleading.
I almost never say "I don't know." I'll say something more useful like, "I haven't done that before. I'll have to do some research."

Why is this more useful? It shows that I am confident that I can get the task done, but some more time must be allotted for the research. "I don't know" is basically giving up.

I totally disagree about the 'can do' attitude statement, in case that wasn't already clear. It's absolutely vital to a good working environment that employees are actively trying to do their jobs, instead of giving up and forcing someone else to do it. Asking for help is expected. Giving up is useless.
There are more exploits on sale for iOS than Android. So if you had 10 bitcoins you invested them poorly and put them in the wrong phone.
Maybe don't use things like " to a language more suited for real work."
Fair point, although anecdotally I’m not sure my startup would have gotten to where it is today had we not integrated blockchain and some ML into our sales pipeline. Customers seem to be fascinated by it, especially enterprise ones.
I was just observing the immediate objections to all the other geographic names but then that apparently doesn’t matter when naming “variants.”
Those don’t seem in any way similar to like writing a tv show or animating a Pixar movie.
But thanks to my own cluelessness, I've blown up smaller distributed systems, and I've learned one important lesson: Almost nobody is smart enough to understand automatic error-recovery code. Features like automated volume remirroring or multi-AZ failover increase the load on an already stressed system, and they often cause this kind of "storm."

It's basically Test-Driven Development: if you cannot test it, don't write it.
That's almost certainly what it is, in addition to performance. Apple supports ad-blockers, but they work by providing a list of rules to Safari, which uses the rules to filter resource loading (rather than allowing the ad-blocker to intercept individual requests).
Or possibly it shifts half an hour 4 times a year.

There's lots of room for experimentation and variability.
Well, sure, conviction rates only cover cases when charges were filed, so we'll never know when they decided not to bring charges in the first place because the strength their case didn't meet some internal threshold.

But I think the Feds are pretty good at building cases. Since it's a crime to lie to a federal investigator, all they have to do is find some fact they can prove about you that you'd be likely to lie about, and get you to lie. (Technically the lie has to be material to the investigation, but in practice any vaguely related lie seems to do.) Apparently it's often not that hard to do; they're trained to exploit the psychology of the situation to their advantage.

And once you've lied, they have something on you, and they can use that as leverage to get more.
We want to create a network to allow users on HackerNews to communicate, not replace HackerNews. We love HackerNews!
Exactly. It's rational to look at these "trick" questions, give the obvious answer, and quickly move on. What do you gain by sweating over them? It's not like they came up on the LSAT and correctly determining the answer determines your future. Flexing your IQ uses a lot of energy... literally.

>A district analysis of the program found that more than 70 percent of students enrolled in the program were white and Asian, even though nearly 80 percent of all Boston public school students are Hispanic and Black.

>School Committee member Lorna Rivera said at a January meeting that she was disturbed by the findings, noting that nearly 60 percent of fourth graders in the program at the Ohrenberger school in West Roxbury are white even though most third graders enrolled at the school are Black and Hispanic.

>"This is just not acceptable," Rivera said

What the item the article doesn't spell out explicitly is that many (most?) "gifted" or "enhanced learning programs" participation is based on IQ test scores.[1][2]

To be clear, "gifted program" is often a different concept from "magnet school" with extra specialization courses such as music.

So not sure what Rivera is saying is unacceptable. Either:

a) advanced programs should continue but should not be using IQ tests as the bar for inclusion because intelligence tests underrepresent black students

b) misunderstand the gifted programs and doesn't know that IQ tests are involved and thinks the programs are just based on parent requests and teacher recommendations so some human beings are deliberately discriminating black children

What Rust needs is an alternative, gcc-based implementation similar to gccgo.

This will solve the problem immediately and allow Rust to be used on a much greater variety of targets, including obscure targets such as Tricore which are used in the automotive sector.

Only if Rust code runs everywhere, it will also be deployed everywhere.
That sounds like a restatement of the "labor theory of value" which makes no real sense, as it assumes that "someone" is always willing to buy. Why should anyone be motivated to buy Bitcoin, beyond the classic "great fool theory" trap?
This, and AFAIK they're still implementing the rest of the API so that all add-ons will be supported (on Android).
Could not disagree more. Perhaps one should use their own reasoning and the ability to peer-review in conjunction with 'appeal to experience' rather than shut out discussion.
That's exactly what I thought the moment I read the post. The fact that Slack used bcrypt is good, and if they used a high number of iterations that's better, but neither will help you if your password happens to be on the crackers' list of 10,000 most common passwords.
At some point, the matter goes past the event horizon. Then the notion of outside observer stops having any meaning. Before that, known clocks in that matter slowed down for an outsider, and the outsider's clock went faster from that matter's perspective.
The question is not irrelevant. It's blindingly obvious that salt+pepper protects against DB-only attacks. Injection that does a DB dump, or vulnerabilities in the DB server that don't exist in the app.

So yes, S+P protection won't save you if the app server is completely compromised, but it does protect you in case DB only is.

And the ability to S+P seems pretty simple to implement and document. Why is everyone panicking that it's hard to do?
They're in a format that requires implementations to be especially careful validating input parameters to avoid leaking information; for instance, an attacker-submitted faulty coordinate can trick an implementation into performing a calculation with its secret key on the wrong curve.
I really wish there was a project that provided AOSP builds with no modifications apart from enabling root (which is just a configuration setting), without Play and all the other proprietary stuff, and with the option of providing OTA updates.

Basically I can compile AOSP myself, but I don't want to. I want OTA updates, I don't care about any "enhancements" Cyanogen added, and I'm happy with OSS apps in F-Droid instead of Play.

Am I alone in this?
Would you mind sharing the population you reach?
Ah! Good idea! I'll implement it now :)

The HipChat notifications go off at a fixed time (9AM and 9PM UTC) every day, however in the future I may add a feature to let people set the time the bot posts.
The obnoxious part imo is more that people feel obligated to tip even when the service is bad. There are several comments in this thread about tipping 10-20% for BAD service. Putting that decision on that customer is unfair.
My friend, if you seriously feel this way, try asking people in your direct surroundings for help. If you have family or close friends, you can let them know you need ("would like", "could use", "wanna try", "see if maybe it would work", ...) their help getting rid of an addiction. No shame, especially not with a drug as light as this one.

"What is it?" - "Internet forums, they take up all my time and I can't stop, " + the real life problems you're experiencing.

We love Swagger. It allows us to have uniform documentation across all our APIs regardless of dev writing style. It's a simple plan we can all stick to. Plus it gives you real API access inside the docs themselves. We highly recommend it and may I use this opportunity to thank the developer!

> "In ~20 years they've had little success in replacing textbooks."

I'd argue they have, just not in an official capacity. Even when I was in high school (early 2000s) we relied on websites (and diagrams like above) more than we did our physical books, which were largely not useful for learning.

The learners have embraced the power of multimedia and the web, I suppose the problem is that "I made website that makes it easier to learn" is not a photo-op moment like "look at us holding this iPad!".
Obama very specifically said that this was 'not an act of war': http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/video/2014/dec/21/obama-n...

He has to say this, otherwise the NSA has started an act of war against pretty every country on earth, so it would be pretty hypocritical.

Obama knows this, so he can't go and classify the US as starting wars through their own cyber 'crimes'.
> Abu gran was done voluntary for no good reason, in opposition to the desires of the home office. Aka it happened because the perpetrators enjoyed it.

Thanks for offering that. It doesn't match what I've read. My impression is that government and military leadership encouraged such practices as a method of interrogation, legitimized it in the troops' eyes by authorizing and publicly advocating for torture and denial of prisoner's rights, and did not enforce rules against it.
I have to ask: how much of this do you think is because of the digital format, vs how much of it is because the digital format doesn't support certain physical book methods we use?

The two that come to mind are post-it notes and flipping through the book. If, perhaps, I could press and hold my finger one end of a tablet to flip through it, maybe it would make them more suitable. Also, perhaps if bookmarks I made in the book were always visible at the top of the reader, it would also make it more suitable.

It might even be useful to make the application present a 3d view of a real book based upon the orientation of the device. That way I could angle it to find roughly how deep within the book a bookmark is.
We don’t do that, so you can actually collaborate on one note in real time with others.
maybe they just haven't made the announcement yet ;)
This is the most detailed explanation on howto explore a USB device I've seen. Need more articles like this!
Probably not. Sorry about that. I've updated the post title to reflect its contents.
Two issues:

LAX->SFO->PDX isn't an equivalent product if you're going to SFO -- the airline can rebook you on any of a number of options (in case of weather, capacity, mechanical difficulties or whatnot) that may or may not go through SFO.

Adjusting routing is nontrivial. Planes are expensive. Gate rental is expensive. Pilots are expensive. Getting pilots and planes to where people are with routes planned to haul them to where they want to be is complicated. As an example of how complicated (and fragile) this is, watch the United departure board when there's a decent storm brewing in Chicago -- It's not just the flights going into and out of ORD that get screwed up -- it's pretty much every flight in the country.
This is fine in theory, but it doesn't demonstrate much understanding of the reality.

Protests are time-critical and often ad hoc. Bureaucracies that don't like something have endless opportunities to raise barriers, delay, and deny for trivial reasons. Lawsuits are expensive and slow, especially when opponents, like governments, already have lawyers on salary.

It's implausible to expect a loose group of protesters to file for permits, fail repeatedly at dealing with bureaucracy, fund a lawsuit, spend months or years pushing for it, win, and then keep going back to the judge until meaningful reform is accomplished. Especially when those protesters are upset because they think the government is fundamentally biased against them.

Your offered approach is entirely reasonable, but entirely likely to bias things strongly in favor of the the status quo.
$46M isn't all that much money compared with other websites as popular as wikipedia.

You are of course free to stop using wikipedia if you can't handle the fact that they ask for donations every now and then.
Loops are basically just compares + labels + jumps, yet we abstracted away from those, because we saw that it was common to want to execute a block of code a given number of times (for loop) or as long as a condition held (while and do/while loops). In recent years, more languages (C++, Java) have added a construct for doing an operation on every element of a collection (for each). Why then can't we have more abstractions of patterns programmers write over and over again? It makes a lot of sense to have an operation to apply a function to every element of a collection (map) or to remove elements of a collection based on a predicate function (filter). Saying that we can write those with loops is the same as saying we can write loop with jumps: true, but have a specialized construct makes the intent of the programmer a lot more clear.
Wow, it's amazing what a few hours of quiet reflection can do.

Having read the replies, given it a few more moments of silence and exercised some more empathy, I now regret this comment and wish I could still delete it.
Dont worry about downvotes much. They can be quite erratic at times. I upvoyed both of yours.

There is no cure for the virus people are treating the test as a cure. Only the test does is gets other people protected. So her dying before or after the test results although sad is irrelevant. Other people that she interacted with need to be isolated and tested.
I guess I primarily mean the people on the ground. Not the politicians - the best that can be said about them is that they're getting out of the way (in some, not all cases) - but the doctors and nurses, the scientists, the grocery store workers, the companies converting their factories to make medical supplies, and yes, even the bureaucrats who are pushing this stuff through. There are still lots of people out there to be disappointed in, but we're also seeing those who do care about the greater good coming out of the woodwork and really taking real action, and it's inspiring.
Interesting sheet.

Might be useful to also add columns to show the current PE and also the market vs book value.
I think there's always been a bit of 'grass is greener' sentiment between the Python and Ruby communities. As a Python guy I do appreciate the look of Ruby code.

However for sheer pragmatism Python wins; almost every API and library you can think of has its own Python bindings.
Perhaps because the police are supposed to be impartial and serve all equally. The BNP is overtly racist and advocates explicit discrimination against and persecution of minorities. A member of the BNP is by definition not a proper person to be a policeman.
All of the above cases are also helped by just by regular symmetric encryption. Why make things more complicated than necessary?

Haven't been keeping up. Is there a module solution yet. #include is cursed.
The problem boils down to just one thing. The teachers don't understand what they're teaching themselves, so they confuse memorization and repetition with learning. The students who are good at this are rewarded because they do better in the exams, and slowly but surely all the joy of understanding science is beaten out of a student.

I can relate to this personally. Until I started college, I really understood what I was learning. I enjoyed doing science and reading about. But then I made the biggest mistake of my life - I didn't put enough effort into preparing for the IIT entrance examinations and didn't make it in.

I started at the second-tier college that I went to and I realized that my teachers didn't know what they were teaching. We were supposed to be learning all this stuff about Fourier series and Laplace transforms, and I couldn't figure out where we were going with all this. I couldn't understand why certain assumptions were made and where they mattered in the proofs. It was all going above my head. When I asked my lecturers, I was branded as a disruptive student. I simply got insulted until I learned to keep my mouth shut.

I didn't do very well in my examinations either. The most marks were given to the students who could reproduce what the teacher said in the cleanest handwriting with the best figures. My writing sucked and my figures were dirty, and I wrote what I understood not what I remembered. I simply had no hope.

A few years later I started a master's degree at a top-tier institution. Man, was this a different experience! I realized I could ask questions and get intelligent answers. I realized my professors actually knew what these proofs were going to useful for! I was finally back in an environment where understanding was valued.

Unfortunately, I still haven't recovered fully. I can see myself understanding more stuff than in the past, but it's something I have to force myself to do. I use tricks I learned from Feynman and others - I try to build a visual model in my head as I'm hearing something and then I ask questions to the model to see if I'm really understanding stuff. I force myself to think about stuff all time. But this process is not automatic, and I can't help but think my undergraduate lecturers beat it out of me.
Look into how Ghostscript is capitalized. It might be good to look at some other case studies too so you understand the broader range of possibilities. To get help on that you might need to phrase the question a little differently.
Via this page: http://ie.microsoft.com/testdrive/graphics/videoformatsuppor... I installed the player for IE9. Strange thing is, the right top movie (WebM) looks a little nicer in Opera, Chrome and Firefox. The blue text on white it very crisp in IE9 and smooth in the other browsers.
Most people are probably using EBS to run a relational database, or something which will be doing random reads more likely than sequential reads. And speaking from experience, a 4 drive EBS raid couldn't even match the performance of a 4 drive RAID-10. Once we started adding SSDs, the gap widened significantly.
Anesthesiologists need 8 years of post-graduate study - 4 years of medical school, 1 year of internship and 3 additional years of residency (most programs combine the internship and the rest of residency into a single coherent curriculum these days)

Compared to entering a career in software straight out of undergrad, being a doctor takes a while to pay off. It takes even longer to pay off if you consider dollars per hour worked rather than dollars per year elapsed. For example, at the particular residency my wife is at, she works 1.5 to 2x as many hours as I do as a software engineer, while receiving less than half the pay. I should add that there's nothing exceptional about the number of hours either of us work or our pay.
It's amazing how quickly Sam went from founder of moderately successful start-up to public intellectual.

I think the 38400 baud connection is a bigger issue than the CPU load. When I get Ethernet working I think there is a decent chance that I won’t need CloudFlare—especially if I can find a full 32-bit server that really uses the potential of the 386. Now to wait for that card to arrive in the mail. ;)

There have been a lot of versions and revisions of D&D over the years. Amongst players of the earlier (or "classic") versions of the game, 'B/X' stands for play based around the Basic Set edited by Tom Moldvay, and the Expert Set edited by "Zeb" Cook, both published in 1981.

The 'B/X' edition of the game came after the "Holmes" boxed set,first published in 1977 and edited by J. Eric Holmes, and before the BECMI (Basic, Expert, Companion, Masters, Immortals) published in 1983 and later (and eventually compiled in the D&D Rules Cyclopedia published in the early '90s). They existed at the same time as Advanced Dungeons & Dragons, which had more, and more complex, rules.
