Hours ago, craigslist posted an online ad seeking potential housemates for a Berkeley space that does not promote “ableism, consumerism, negativism, positivism, homophonia, slut shaming or sham slutting.” Applicants need only forego TV, microwaves, doors, and all scented products (yes, foods included, people!)—and they must be non-speciesist in their welcoming of fellow tenant Gaia, the 8-foot-long monitor lizard.

As the ad for "Wysdym Yrth" notes, “We often host spontaneous get-togethers, art parties, fire dances, political rallies, knife fights, and other spirited challenges to outdated social mores like ‘decency,’ ‘restraint,’ or ‘public safety.’ ”

I walked past "Neptune" just last Sunday doing this wonderful walk: http://www.walkingclub.org.uk/book_1/walk_23/index.shtml

It's beautiful countryside there - I highly recommend it. There's also a circular walk in that area which can be more convenient if you're driving: http://www.walkingclub.org.uk/book_1/walk_43/

Both walks take you past parts of the Otford solar system.

That's bullshit. Everyone past fifth grade understands that Rights come with conditions. Your right to free speech does not extend past the jail house doors. This is literally childish shit.

You're being obtuse and you know it.

edit: also, we live in a plutocracy in which we have no control over government and that's why "they" can enact ominous plans to restrict our right to freely travel by requiring a one time, one hour safety test and $20 annually? If you're going to go full on tin foil, at least come up with something that doesn't sound like a SNL skit.
Eh, I dunno, I guess a very not-nice person could attach the device to your car and activate it remotely/later.

I think a more realistic exploit would be a corrupt tow-truck driver / mechanic targeting an area where tourists stop.
Good examples and loads of tutorials. I just started playing with it and circular dependencies make me cringe. Game object initiates subsystems that in turn get their dependencies through game object, which is a requirement for initialising aforementioned subsystems. What is this pattern? It's really tough to compose things with it.
This type of news reminds me of that scene from the first (live action) Transformers movie where the girl hacker is telling the three-letter suit types that they need to be thinking in a whole other level of technology in order to understand their adversary.

I suppose though, that this means if you have /critical/ security things it really just means you need to have the kind of physical security you hear about in scifi and fictional spy game settings. Not just plain airgaps, but proper Faraday cages, and even vibration dampening (for servers too, not just 'meeting rooms'). Probably even thermal regulation so that there's always /consistent/ output.

It is also unfair if their crime was more a matter of the circumstances they found themselves in than their baked-in character.

For example, if they got convicted for second-degree murder because they had a hot-tempered friend in college who started a fight, they tried to held, and then the friend pulled a gun and shot someone. That's the kind of mistake some (many?) people are not likely to make again. But the record is permanent. And due to Fundamental Attribution Error, the world is inclined to believe that they were involved and did what they did with intent because they had and continue to have a flawed character.

We were discussing Linux numbers. Why would I select games for all systems? There's a neat drop-down at the top menu where you can select games for each category. You chose "Linux" AND "Linux/SteamOS", which artificially lowered the numbers. I'm not sure that was on purpose, but it was a rather convenient nerfing of the numbers.

Further, despite your attempt to move the goalposts, my original statement still stands: 50% of current releases have a Linux port.
Where's the best low-cost startup spaces for budding entrepreneurs?
Hi. I've tried and failed at many attempts to launch new tech solutions over the past decade in Johannesburg. I think the problem is that I haven't found the right people to partner with, or we get distracted too easily in this metropolis. The only successes I've had is running some blogs (and I'm now learning how to outsource some of the work to online freelancers).
One of my friends suggested I go to Bali and try to find like-minded entrepreneurs to work with. I found this article and it looks very interesting: http://tech.co/reasons-to-startup-in-bali-2014-04

Are there similar places I can join? I've taken part in a few 48hour startup events before and joined some fairly limited Meetup events in mu city. Something like joining an incubator doesn't feel appropriate at the time (too soon).
I'd appreciate any suggestions.

The data from past trials shows different results than your own knee-jerk conclusion.

Here are some consistent findings across multiple studies[1]:

- Fewer hospitalizations

- Fewer school dropouts

- Decrease in child labor

- Dramatically lower food poverty

- Dramatically lower crime rate

- Dramatically lower child malnutrition rate

- Increase in High School completion rates

- Increase in self-employment and the number of income sources

That last one is the most counter-intuitive. Until you think about it. People become more entrepreneurial when you remove the risk of them falling into poverty if they fail (especially because failure is the norm).

Keep in mind that if you want to live a more luxurious lifestyle, you'll still need to work to get it. This isn't an "everybody is rich" utopia. This is more about eliminating poverty and creating opportunity for everyone.

So, do you think Jeff Bezos himself coerced all of those quotes out of ex-Apple employees? You do realize that Business Insider also wrote an article entitled "Why Working At Apple Is A Dream Job"?

Nevermind those articles though - one need only to look at Apple's involvement in the recent high-tech employee anti-trust to see that they're a bad employer.
Agreed, I noticed all those things as well. The article seemed to invent a lot of the new hire orientation stuff. Either that or it's changed quite a bit since I went through it a few years ago, which is certainly possible. And the "100% peculiar" thing really is just a game. It's a toy to add a little icon to your internal profile, and literally doesn't mean a thing. Other such awards are for things like having participated in broomball in 2002 or something silly like that.
The aspect of this article that struck me the most was the use of an anonymous feedback tool that employees use to complain (or compliment) their fellow employees.

As presented by the articles author (and important caveat) it appeared to be a source of treating perception and gossip as data. I'm not clear from the article if that is understood within Amazon, and how they handle that downside if it is.

For such a data centered company it seems like an odd mis - I have to wonder if the article just didn't get to how they approach that issue.
These are two problems I definitely saw coming. The trust element is a big one, and I've thought about doing what you suggested so as to avoid the logistics, but different jeans and clothing brands fit differently. I think if I have people send in clothes and perhaps have a spreadsheet of how brands fit, I would eventually have an heap of data where I wouldn't need people to send in clothes.
It's a good idea. A couple things:

1. Sizing can be tough. For example, I have several pair of jeans. All the same brand and all the same size. At least 2 of the pairs absolutely do not fit, while the others are extremely comfortable. When I bought all of them they fit perfectly, but over time with wear and washing the fit on some has just gone out of whack compared to the others.

2. This would be a difficult business to scale though. If all of your customers are sending garments in to be measured and then you are sending them back out along with other garments that are curated, it could be a labor intensive business.

Overall though I like the idea. I hate shopping, I hate having to go to a store and try things on. Then usually I get home and half the stuff I bought I never wear because, as @rbcoffee pointed out, there is some quirk that annoys me.

A feature you may consider adding would be that clothes a customer doesn't like could be sent in, you either buy them back or offer them a credit towards new clothes sent back out to them in the same style, but a different size.

This idea kind of reminds me of http://www.belloverde.com/ or Astor Black which are online custom tailors.
Best EULA ever?

I think it is important to keep in mind that (for example) a Mac user that never uses Terminal.app or another terminal-emulation app probably has no reliance on the TTY abstraction. The abstraction is present in his operating system, but if it were absent or broken, the the user would probably not notice anything different.

I had to add the word "probably" to the above statement because I have not actually tried disabling the TTY subsystem in OS X and verifying that all the apps typically used by non-programmers continue to work normally.

Moreover, when our typical Mac user visits a web site, probably nothing goes wrong if the TTY subsystem on the web server is absent or disabled. (Of course, the administrators of the server will not be able to ssh into the server, but these days, a significant fraction of web servers are adminned using methods that do not rely on anyone's being able to ssh into the servers.)

I kind of agree with parent, though: during my more obsessive moments I do get worried / depressed that a large fraction of programmers are still reliant on software reliant on the TTY abstraction. Although I appreciate minimalist software and software ecologies consisting of many small tools (each of which does one thing well) as much as the next programmer, I would have expected that in 2015 there would be popular minimalist software ecologies not reliant on the TTY abstraction.

I will end my comment with 2 paragraphs designed to prevent nitpicking replies:

Yes, I know that Plan 9 is a minimalist software ecology not reliant on the TTY abstraction. Since on its best day, back when Bell Labs' Computer Systems Research Group ran Plan 9, Plan 9 almost certainly had fewer than 500 users, I would not call Plan 9 popular, however.

I do not dispute that the TTY abstraction remains the natural and the best tool for certain peripheral tasks, e.g., driving serial ports, which continue to have their uses, e.g., in hardware hacking because serial ports are so vastly less complex than something like USB.
>This comment (along with many of this author's other comments) seems to take a form which strongly reminds me of the output of SCIgen[1]

Whilst a context-free grammar is used to generate sentences; the preferred output is typically the sequence of words with the lowest entropy. That has the effect of sounding extremely concise, idiomatically as: a man of few words. I veritably assure you that you are indeed in communication with a real, live human being who has written software for Natural Language Processing; so I attribute your confusion to that point, mostly.

>and I wonder if anyone more versed in quantum cryptography or any related fields of mathematics can make more sense of it than I can.

Here is where you are being offensive. If you become confused by words which you cannot fathom, then you need to admit your own ignorance and ask a question directly. Otherwise, as in this case, you are engaging in fallacious excommunication or at least rude duplicity!

>I could, of course, be unfairly interpreting the unusually simple [2] grammatical structures as being computer generated rather than as an artifact of not being a native English speaker.

Here is where you espouse two falsehoods: that my grammatical structures are in any way simple; or that native English speakers have any specific level of complexity in their language. It is easy to show how certain grammatical constructions are indicative of a person's native language; but those are usually grammatical errors such as: run-on sentences, misplaced plurals, or redundant hyphenation. There is no homogenous measure of complexity for the English spoken by people born in England, so that topical premise is entirely wrong.

>If that is the case, I do apologize and hope that I have not caused any offence.

If you feel the need to apologize in advance, then you have probably written something rude; and you should revise the message before sending it.

Let my wall of text be a lesson to you!
The analogy incorrectly compares a binary outcome (cancer / no cancer) with a continuous variable (stock price returns, which may have skewed magnitudes depending on upside or downside). So while it is nominally correct about the formula for "stocks up" or "stocks down", it does not help for an actual trading situation where "stocks down" could have a negative return mean much larger than the corresponding positive mean return of "stocks up", for example.
The difference in the views expressed is that one takes all of the blame for your circumstances and puts them on your parents, and the other is taking the responsibility of providing good circumstances for your children. In the end, the meaning is about the same, but the undertones are a bit different.
> treat your children well

The point the author was making was that Bill Gates' parents were extremely wealthy and also very influential, which gave Gates a uniquely preparatory childhood, the means to make pretty much whatever risks he wanted, and easy access to capital (and the people behind it).

Not everyone has that kind of influence and money to pass down to their children.
Yeah but the NSA might throw money at it secretly, get a breakthrough and not disclose it because it's a huge military advantage.

Yes, I understand that it probably wont be possible to run instantly. But manual approval should be possible within 24 hours, allowing for next-day ADs.

As for local Ads, in my country India those are run only in "local cable channels" which is basically some extra channels inserted by local cable providers (in US, I think(?) there are only nationwide cable providers). There is little scope for such deals in mainstream channels.
US Law enforcement does what it's told (more or less) and acts on the orders of the various governmental entities, from the Federal level on down to the tiniest incorporated entity with it's own budget and cop. Some politician or bureaucrat decided how to do this, not a cop.

Do you really still think that the US government pays attention to any of the constitutional stuff?

I wish with my whole heart that they did. All that civics crap from the schoolbooks is little more than propaganda. It's been roundly ignored since way before I was born.

Too many lawyers, too many overlapping laws created simply to make a politician seem busy for his sheep before for election time, too many politician's bought and sold.
You did say that "my numbers are old" after quoting your 50% number for a completely different statistic. So you moved the goal posts, not I.

But the search links speak for themselves, thanks. Not sure who you're trying to convince here.

(Thanks for putting your spin on it though - it's always entertaining to watch people twist numbers so that they sound good for their argument. 50% of current releases (probably of mostly crappy indie games) certainly sounds much better than 20% of existing titles.)

I guess I'd also like some evidence for your 50% number, which nobody has seen yet. Anyway - enjoy having half the games that I do because of your fanatical ideology!

The meaning isn't close to the same; talking about your children's well being has nothing to do with talking about your own well being. And saying your parents matter isn't blaming them, it's simply an accurate description of reality. Having rich parents vs having poor parents has far more to do with how you turn out than your own effort does[1], that is the reality of this world, like it or not.

Long Road Ahead to Securing IOT
I think the idea is to update the model asynchronously via put before rendering the new state via take. I'm not entirely sure (I don't know csp much) but I think using a single CSP channel makes that trivial, so you're always updating before rendering.

Would appreciate more insight and/or correction...
Same reason they continue to buy clothes made in actual sweatshops, because most people don't care as much about the workers making their products as they do about the cost (and sometimes quality) of those products.
That is useless in the real world. Trade loses is inevitably a larger absolute value P&L than trade wins. Trade wins frequency > trade loses frequency. Trade loses size > trade wins size. You need both and the analysis only does the former.
Fair criticism. I didn't say that they discovered an entirely new biosynthetic pathway. I said they identified and cloned genes (I think your confusion stems from a false interpretation of what I said; I didn't mean to imply that the team identified every single gene). Those are two different things; note for example the link you pointed me at is effectively an abstract pathway.

So, since you're making a technical nitpick with a short detail of my comment, I'll apply the full flame of my technical capabilities. We'll start with the paper itself:

The abstract says " We combined enzyme discovery, enzyme engineering, and pathway and strain optimization to realize full opiate biosynthesis in yeast. The resulting opioid biosynthesis strains required expression of 21
(thebaine) and 23 (hydrocodone) enzyme activities from plants, mammals, bacteria, and yeast itself"

So the authors say that they discovered enzymes. This is consistent with my statement. Your statement is irrelevant; discovering a biosynthetic pathway is a distinct thing from discovering the enzymes that carry it out (but, I will agree that in many cases, when you discover a biosynthetic pathway you can identify the enzymes and genes that code for them at the same time. It's not necessary, though). What the authors did here is engineer a biosynthetic pathway.

Next statment that supports my position from the paper:
"Also, key enzyme(s) that epimerize the (S)-benzylisoquinoline scaffold to the (R)-enantiomer, which is the biosynthetic precursor of the promorphinan and morphinan scaffolds, have remained unknown even after decades of study until recently identified by two groups (19, 20) and by our team as described below."

Note the above extract from the paper, if correct, completely abolishes your point. The authors cite their own recent work, as well as the work of others, which was required for engineering biosynthetic pathway.

Here is a link to the author's prior work identifying a required step in the process:
http://www.sciencemag.org/content/349/6245/309

At this point I rest my case. My original statement stands, as it does, and your criticism appears to be only a pointless and ultimately irrelevant nitpick of my statement.

Further, I would appreciate not using the term "burst your bubble". It's immature, and when said to a person who's been studying synthetic biology for more than 2 decades, who can read the primary literature, and compose a coherent reply, makes you look petty.
I mean, it hasn't always been true of either of them. But I posted it because I find the idea of sitting down for a code review with Bill Gates today (or, on Monday) pretty amusing!
