Having seen a lot of similar issues, I can say I feel your pain. It can be really frustrating to get to the root of these issues, and when you do, management is rarely willing to accept the answer of "We've done all we can, the root of the problem is a device flaw we can't change."

How recent of a jffs2 image are you using? They've implemented some block tables in newer versions that speed up mount time a lot if my understanding is correct. Also, I would highly recommend trying out UBIFS if you get the chance - it's jffs2's successor, and well implemented.
Agreed. The stock market has been propped up by the FED for the past 6 years with free money from near-0% interest rates. Great for the folks close to the money supply (bankers, rich folks with lots of investments, etc), not so great for the middle/lower class. The best thing that can happen is to bite the bullet and raise interest rates.

A whole lot of aphorisms in this commentary about falling knives and dead cats, but very little actual information.

If you're trying to time the bottom you may as well take your money to the blackjack table. The quants are probably going to make a bunch of money, but if you're just a regular person, you should probably just continue making your regularly scheduled 401k contributions and diversified investments. Historically speaking, all the movement is going to average out in the long run to modest gains.
An additional problem is that in a downturn, people reassess what they are willing to spend money on. Overvalued companies with revenues today may see those revenues evaporate. This also happened in the first dotcom crash.
It seems fairly common to the point that 401k vesting horizons are something that can be expected. Filtering on "Vesting" against the Bloomberg data, 2 of the top 10 have similar conditions (with MasterCard requiring 4 years instead of 3, though their match is considerably better than Amazon's). Outside of the top 10 there is still a healthy representation of companies that do not immediately vest.

Well-funded 401k matching plans that vest immediately certainly help with mobility, for those who care to stick around for the match!
If you are already doing that, then you also don't have to worry about WifiSense as the checkbox to enable it for that SSID is right there (and only there) and you can make sure that you don't check it when you type in your password.
What you're saying is undoubtedly true but I think the commenter was also trying to state "what's right for some people isn't right for everybody" that is, every body is different.

er.. how is it a really chincy form of compensation, considering how well amazon's stock has performed?
The answer (pains me to say it) is, if anything, government spending. This was actually the answer after the financial crisis too. We have come to depend far too much on monetary stimulus relative to fiscal stimulus.

No, I'm referring to the feeling that social interaction is hard work and/or not enjoyable. That's not necessarily anxiety.

As an entrepreneur, you have to talk to and interact with people constantly. If you won't do that, you won't make your early sales, dig up opportunities by networking, or do as much customer discovery as you need.

I started a company with an introvert, and he simply never saw the value in going out and talking to people without a goal. You have to do that. Some of the best opportunities will arise when you aren't looking for anything in particular.

When you're weighing cost/benefit of socializing, if the cost is very high, you'll do a lot less socializing. That's a problem when starting a company.
>I would think that making SIMD, parallelism, and multiple simple loops instead of one bigger loop much easier to program around would be much more realistic. Something like a fusion of ISPC, Rust, C++11, and Julia.

What about functional programming? IMO the biggest benefit from programming without state is that order of execution does not matter. Thus programs can be parallelized trivially. Under the hood you end up with "multiple simple loops" without really even trying. I think when more people catch onto this, we're going to see a rise in functional language usage because of how easy it makes parallelism.
"The paper is a tour de force, according to Evan Rosen, a professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School who was not involved in the research."

That's some pretty high praise.

Also, it wasn't entirely clear to me if they're already testing this on humans. They mentioned using the CRISPR/Cas9 to manipulate genes in human cells, is that just donated human tissue?

QE is not over. The balance sheet of the Fed hasn't gone down. What is over is QE expending.
QE is 'over'(for now), but it has shaped today's economy. There may have QE4.

Artificially low interest rates is the main cause of most malinvestment and inflating assets. Usually ends with a pretty rough recession.

For debt, I could just say 'Greece/Argentina/Brazil/Japan/...', but(yes) these aren't the world's reserve currency. U.S could just pay its debt to China by 'printing money'

Still, it also severely hurt Americans and is probably the main problem for the middle class. Wages don't keep up with inflation and assets are inflated, so their purchasing power is smaller and citizens usually get indebted themselves.
Savings Rates-- well, compared to 2006 when everyone was leveraged to the hilt to buy just one more condo, sure they are better. But are they actually good?

Well they're higher now than they were 15 years ago:

> There are only a few fabrication plants in the world that make nand at the current node sizes.

That comment kind of assumes that making NAND as small as possible at the silicon feature level is desirable. That's not necessarily the case - in some cases, data retention is preferable to storage density. Larger feature sizes make NAND much less susceptible to retention failures and read/program disturb failures that are no big deal in SSDs, but are a huge deal in embedded applications.
Inkscape is nice and I use it all the time, but I am not a designer so it works for me just fine (I suspect is the same case in your office).

On the other hand, my sister is a designer, and there are so many missing features on Inkscape that prevent her to use it in her profession life. The comparison seems unfair, but it is the closest thing to an alternative for Illustrator in the software free world.

Japanese houses and buildings were typically built with 25 to 30 year useful lives. It should come as little surprise that once unoccupied the structures, unmaintained, begin to deteriorate rapidly --and just as well.

Life is impermanent, so should buildings.

What they should institute, barring the messiness of property rights, etc. Is, given japan's family registries, etc. is identify owners figure out if they'll fix it, if not, demolish. Instead of spending billions concretizing the coasts and building roads to nowhere use those resources to cull crumbling buildings.

The one about the neighbor keeping up the property next door is very stereotypical --wish more of the world were that way. Yes, it's to no effect other than sensibilities, but without them there is no society.
It's discussed in the article:

Many people believe that the source of this myth was a 1945 Food and Nutrition Board recommendation that said people need about 2.5 liters of water a day. But they ignored the sentence that followed closely behind. It read, “Most of this quantity is contained in prepared foods.”

Indeed, from the references of your link:

The Panel has decided that the reference values for total water intake should include water from drinking water, beverages of all kind, and from food moisture.
Yeah, I'd love to read that if it's not too much effort. : )

There's no real reason a 'staggeringly unequal benefits distribution' should lead to an economic crisis, unless you believe in proletarian revolution or something.
That might be true of the founding team, but it's still not really true.

In order to get to know the right people in the first place, you have to go through a lot of people. Someone who knows 10,000 people will have a much better pool to choose from than someone who knows 1,000.

My point was just that starting a company is a game of creating relationships. If you dislike meeting people, making small talk, following up, etc. (or if it makes you really tired), you're going to do less of that.

None of this is a jab at introverts. As I said, Woz is an introvert and an incredibly important inventor in the history of computing. He's just not a great entrepreneur, which is fine! Most people aren't, and it's a dubious honor to begin with.
Adenovirus 36 is zoonotic, and causes obesity in mammals and birds, including humans, rodents, chickens, and monkeys.

"The problem lies entirely at the feet of the media."

No, not entirely. You assume scientists are objective and have no agenda. A lot of research is "sponsored" by corporate interests. The first paragraph one should read in a research report is the "source of funding" disclosure, then adjust for bias (or ignore entirely).

As of right now? Nothing. This is mostly paper being moved around. Economic tides are shifting and there are always people caught with their pants down.

In the long run? Who knows? We just finished a massive bull-market run, now there's been a commodity crash and global growth prospects look bad. It could be business-as-usual or completely uncharted territory. Don't fret over what you can't control.
It isn't just about specific relevant degrees, but a question of job level.

In the 1990s and earlier, one would undertake a degree, possibly in a strictly academic discipline such as history or philosophy, and, if one didn't then enter academia, one might (for example) join a Graduate Training Programme at a big company or the Civil Service, and become a management consultant, strategic analyst, policy advisor, or some other such position that is considered to require the kind of intellectual rigour that is supposed to be evidenced by achieving a degree. i.e. a "graduate level" position. Politics and Philosophy is exactly the kind of degree that such positions used to crave.

Now, such people are becoming bartenders, receptionists and estate agents, jobs that would historically have been occupied by those with little or no post-16 education.

I have no idea of the ratio of graduates of vocational vs academic degrees, but given the number of non-vocational degrees available, I wouldn't be surprised if the majority of graduates have "jobless" degrees.

Also, given that the banking sector seems to be hoovering up graduates in numerate disciplines, and that a PhD is now often the entry requirement for Bench Science jobs. I wouldn't be surprised if the majority of (e.g) Chemistry graduates are going into finance for big bucks now, instead of taking on a further 3-4 years of low wages to get the qualifications to start a relevant career.

I find the level of scorn that is nowadays placed on non-STEM pure academic degrees interesting, as though anything other than vocational education is a waste of time. When I was an undergraduate, it was shortly after all the polytechnics became universities. At that time scorn was mostly heaped upon all the new vocational degrees.
I think the actual pdf says that.

Unfunded liabilities (money that is owed, but not currently on-hand) in the United States are said to be greater than $127T:

http://www.forbes.com/sites/realspin/2014/01/17/you-think-th...

This does not account for unfunded liabilities owed by the states. The situation there is very difficult as well.

You also mention that China is rampant with corruption. In my view, with respect to politics and cronyism, I think the United States government is also highly corrupt.

I would like to share your optimistic outlook, but unfortunately, I'm not able to do so given all that I see going on around me.
There are definite gender imbalances in our society. Is someone bitter when they point out that women make less or that men die more at work? Or is it particular to relationship issues? I wouldn't call Clinton pointing out the wage gap as her being bitter.

Is it perhaps some view that those who complain about social relationship norms are generally those not in, but wishing to be in, such relationships?

Did you read his article and looked at what you're referencing?

From the website you're referencing:

> Adequate Intakes (AI) have been defined derived from a combination of observed intakes in population groups with desirable osmolarity values of urine and desirable water volumes per energy unit consumed.

The article attacks exactly that line of reasoning:

> I’m a pediatrician, and I can tell you that I have rarely, if ever, used urine osmolality as the means by which I decide if a child is dehydrated. When I asked colleagues, none thought 800 mOsm/kg was the value at which they’d be concerned.

More importantly, intake of water != drinking water.

95% of lettuce is water, on the extreme end, but it's not unique. 90% holds for carrots or beets, too. For potatoes it's about 70 to 80%. And when cooked, it soaks up even more water. That adds up quickly and severely reduces the amount of glasses of water you actually need to drink. After all, 2.5 litres of water would easily amount to (over) 8 cups/glasses of water. The article attacks exactly that notion.

It seems to me you ignored the following part. The point is unless you have attributes that scream "status" in some for or other, as a man you have to put in effort to find a partner that women are more likely to be able to avoid (that said: women who want good partners still have to put in a lot of effort too).

Women have a whole different level of choice. Not necessarily good choices, but choice nonetheless. Just try to put up a fake profile on a dating site as an experiment and see what ends up in your mailbox over the course of a few days. It's an "enlightening" experience. Not necessarily very pleasant.
I phrased it badly - I meant the modal scroll handling that was implemented hasn't worked out well, no red flags for React here. position: fixed is a more robust way of positioning modals, the current version watches the scroll event and updates the modal's position which is pretty janky; and it does some not-great things manipulating overflow on the body too, which causes the bug mentioned. We'll be fixing that in the next release.

There are two main problems with science & especially health research "news". First is the urgent need of the Media to "sell more papers" (Or whatever the digital equivalent). Nothing sells more than vaguely alarmist news that is of concern to everybody. So "Drink 8 Glasses of Water every day or suffer the consequences" is an excellent hook to draw-in almost everybody.

Second the ability of companies to influence the research - If the research shows a slight problem with Milk (for example) you can bet that the dairy industry will promote another conflicting study that shows Milk is just GREAT!

Now the consumer is completely alarmed and confused by these two trends - so it always was and always will be.

Introducing the Tweetstorm – Designing the Emerging Tweeting Style into Twitter
It would be interesting if they could find some food that flipped this on... clearly obesity is reaching epidemic proportions and there appears to be some correlation between this and the consumption of processed foods. It would be interesting to figure out if there's something in our food that is flipping the switch to lead down that path. Now that we have some (apparently) credible evidence correlating these switches with obesity, it would be handy to be able to see what to avoid to prevent this switch from being triggered... also if there's something that's not in control of the drug companies that we could eat to flip it back.
Right, but it wasn't clear to me that that was mayaross's point exactly, or if it was her whole point. I'm interested in what women think about the dynamics of dating and courtship, as it's something I think a lot about and sort of struggle with in some ways.
Google Cloud Print is definitely a weak link in my opinion. I've set up a full chromebook deployment for my daughter's school including rollout of GCP, and there are still occasional hiccups with printing (for example management of a stuck queue is obfuscated).

However it has improved a lot and management (once you get your head around it) is really great.

For example, you can easily provision printers to either groups or devices, so teachers can be provisioned on the user level while students are restricted to printing from provisioned devices.
