Suicides are preventable deaths. Benefits changes - driven by the austerity programme - cause deaths by suicide. Making JC+/DWP less hostile to people who've got a history of selfharm or suicide attempts would reduce numbers of people dying by suicide.

Note that I'm not saying that anyone with a history of using MH services should just be allowed to claim benefits for ever. But if JC+\DWP are going to suspend benefits at the drop of a hat they should make the support to get a job better.
Reddit as it stands now is a hive of scum and villainy. If they want to be considered sane and serious and not an upscale 4chan, they need to kickban all the hate frothing racists and misogynists and clamp down hard on "free speech". Unfortunately, since their site has stunk for so long, that's basically all who's left, except the few voices crying in the wilderness.

Nobel prize for chemistry: Lindahl, Modrich and Sancar win for DNA research
We've still got the war on drugs, in the UK. If that was ceased, there would be savings of around 5B (conservatively, from what I've seen).

It, mainly, fucks two lots of people;

1) Those caught up in the "war".
2) Those who would otherwise have the money spent on them (broadly, the disadvantaged).

Note, those two sets don't make up the majority, and have the least ability to enact change.

I think it's fair to characterise democracy as two foxes and a hen voting on what's for dinner!
Something that's confusing me: How will companies like Facebook store inter-country friendship / chat data? If I'm in the EU and I'm friends with someone in the US, and we communicate using FB, where does that data live under this ruling? Do my transmissions to them get stored in an EU data center and their transmissions to me get stored in a US data center? Or will it be decided on something else (Who started the conversation, who initiated the friend request etc.)?

Apart from the political implications of this decision, technically, how will global "social" companies decide where each piece of data is stored?

Email providers like Gmail will probably just store a copy in each location (and they can claim fairly accurately that that's a side effect of the protocols being used) but real-time, centralized communications (FB chat , Google Hangouts etc.) seem to already break the logical definitions of a geographic boundary so I have no idea how the data would be logically segregated across these boundaries.

Has this been discussed elsewhere? I couldn't find anything with a quick search, but I'm not sure what terms I should be searching for.
Yes, but having been declared fit to work you would expect that their health has been assessed and "passed" and so expect lower mortality rates in this population, or at least lower than the total claimant population. Without the official statistics it's impossible for anyone to determine whether the total figures are reasonable or not.

I disagree about austerity being a PR exercise. As far as I can tell the £28bn increase in the total "welfare" budget is almost all pensions, and what people typically think of as welfare (child care, housing, unemployment, etc) has dropped by 6% overall, although the social exclusion budget within that has actually risen.

I wonder how people with alexithymia respond to MDMA (ecstasy)? I've heard people say that the first time they really experienced emotions was on MDMA.
No.

> sociopath: a person with a psychopathic personality whose behavior is antisocial, often criminal, and who lacks a sense of moral responsibility or social conscience.

Nothing in not feeling emotions means that one would lack a moral responsibility or social conscience, or is antisocial and often criminal.
>and would jump ship as soon as a more popular alternative, even in just a niche, shows up.

I didn't jump to Voat. Reddit for me currently has the 'least friction'. I know how it works, I know the memes to post for free karma (although I prefer lurking). It's becoming really commercial though ... lots of content advertising. Reddit is really novel for the first 1-2 years and it feels great to 'participate' in the silly memes but after 1-2 years it becomes stale (my experience).

I think that Reddit creating itself into BuzzFeed but with Reddit content is a genius move.

Most people will react negatively on Reddit but those are the vocal minority. Most people that I know are on reddit just look at cute images of cats and lurk, rarely post.
While as a Wagnerian I noticed this immediately, I feel the subject of this post was not exactly the scale to warrant an allusion to an epic[1] tetralogy.

Isn't this an extreme case of repressing emotions, in the most classic sense? The disconnect between bodily reaction and lack of mindfullness seems to indicate it.
> the alternative healing movement got a 20 or 30 year head-start

I don't think it's really meaningful to say that. To start with, what do you mean by "alternative healing movement"? The label didn't start being used until the latter half of the 1900s. But many of the practice and of course many of the inspirations are a lot older.

On the other hand, ethnobotanists have been cataloging pharmacological properties for over a century. Indeed, this Nobel Prize is for similar research done in the 1960s, so to say 'a 20 or 30 year head-start' would be to say the alternative healing movement started doing this no later than the 1940s.

The confounding problem is that herbalism is a much older practice, with a recorded history stretching back 1000s of years. When did the alternative healing movement not use herbalism?

I don't know enough about the history to really clear things up, but I can point to the 1987 essay on various aspects of the traditional medicinal aspects of celery - http://garfield.library.upenn.edu/essays/v8p164y1985.pdf - to show that it's hard to say that the modern alternative healing movement added anything new to the long and world-wide herbalist tradition.

Encryption is not worthless. It makes mass surveillance more expensive. There's a huge difference between being able to hack into anything (which is what the NSA has proven it can do) and being able to hack into everything, all at once, all the time, easily.

Our goal should be to move the scale closer to the former and as far away as possible from the latter, while also trying to make it explicitly illegal to do the latter and ensuring the abuses get punished (the rare times they are uncovered through whistleblowing or some lucky lawsuits).

Real government spending per capita has been falling. Real government spending is falling. There have been real cuts of 20%+ in many government departments over the last 5 years. The welfare budget has just been slashed (hitting the working poor).

Hence austerity.

> The UK total budget expenditures have gone up every year.

Only if you only look at the raw £ figures, and take into account neither inflation nor population growth.

Public expenditure between 2010 and 2016 (since the Tories came to power) has gone from £673bn to £759bn. In that time, the CPI's gone from 112 to 127.[0] Population growth is about 7.4% every 10 years.[1] Expenditure per capita is not increasing in real terms.

(Also, there are good reasons that economists measure public expenditure as a % of GDP).

"The United Kingdom government austerity programme is a series of sustained reductions in public spending, intended to reduce the welfare state."

"The programme was initiated in 2010 by the Conservative and Liberal Democrat coalition government. Its original stated goal was to, "achieve cyclically-adjusted current balance by the end of the rolling, five-year forecast period." At the June 2010 budget, the end of the forecast period was 2015-16. However, in 2014 the Treasury extended the proposed austerity period until at least 2018."
In fairness, if the rest of the world accepted passports of Transnistria, Abkhazia and South Ossetia, there would be considerably less justification for Russia providing them Russian citizenship, though Transnistrians don't have any difficulty obtaining Moldovan passports if they want them. (Russia had a pretext for granting Russian passports to Crimeans too, since a right of dual citizenship was established in Ukraine's short-lived original constitutional arrangement with the region.)

Russia has never particularly disguised its belief that Crimea is an integral, historical and important part of its territory, whereas any limited value Transnistria has to Russia probably involves the Russian presence there remaining in a supportive, "peacekeeping" role as a symbol of Russia's reliability as an ally. That said, it notably hasn't formally recognised Transnistrian statehood, and is well aware most Transnistrians would welcome annexation (they had a referendum) if it could be achieved peacefully.

Decoding performance is roughly 13 microseconds on a relatively slow 2013 MBA. Other features which will be added is websocket streams, encoder and further performance optimizations.
This can apply to x86, too. Not sure if all your users have TSX-capable CPUs? You're now shipping two binaries. Not sure if your users have AVX? Now you have at least three binaries.

Three code paths, not necessarily three binaries. It's easy enough to compile different variants of performance-critical routines and then select between them at run-time.

I think ART takes the correct approach: ship IL and AOT it on the device. Hopefully some day we can get the same type of system for LLVM IR.

This isn't necessarily optimal though. Having certain CPU features may make algorithmic changes useful -- e.g., switching between lookup tables and direct computation depending on whether you have the CPU features which make the direct computation fast. There's no way an AOT will be able to handle that for you.

Maybe, since they're talking about Alexithymia, which is defined as "inability to identify and describe emotions in the self". (1)

Who actually has no emotions whatsoever and stays alive? What about primitive things like e.g. the feeling of shock and terror as you are crossing the road and turn to see a bus bearing down on you. This is a basic animal survival response. If all you can say is "my heart was racing" that's not exactly being unemotional, but uncomprehending.

I've switched from brew recently.

It (Nix) provides a much more pleasant experience on Linux/NixOS itself.

On OS X, like right now, after switching to El Capitan, you begin to see the disadvantages.

In fact any major change in some packages, require a lot of digging around and most of the time, the solutions are not at all obvious, and mostly undocumented properly.

Also, when you do find a workaround, you will still have to compromise and compile everything from source, waiting for the binary cache (hosted by the project) to catch-up.

The flexibility, and cross-platform nature of Nix, is something that's difficult to resist though (regardless of the philosophy of the project).
The opening metaphor, of guns as a disease, sets the tone of the rest of the article; deliberately misleading and incredibly biased. It sets gun rights supporters as superstitious ignoramuses, gun control legislation is painted as being as effective as antibiotics in curing illness, and completely ignores all of the millions of people who benefit from owning guns for sport, recreation and peace of mind. The New Yorker is perceived as a prestigious publication, this article convinced me of nothing other than the New Yorker is rather overrated.

Disclaimer- as a Pole I'm biased against Russia.

IMHO Russia mostly wants influence on politics in all neighboring states. It only invaded Crimea and put army in Donbas in Ukraine when other ways to exert influence failed (Ukrainians did 2 revolutions, against all economic odds; it was clear Russian influence will end).

Russia doesn't invade Belarus, because it already has control.

Russia only invaded Georgia when they got dangerously close to "solve" the South Ossetia problem (another matter is how Georgians wanted to solve it).

It's also present in Russian diplomatic language - "close abroad" is the term, and Russian diplomats say they have right to participate in the politics of the near abroad. Frozen conflicts are a good way to ensure these border states won't join EU/NATO which are still seen as enemy in Russia.

> So sorry, there is no problem cause by austerity here

The UK goverment are the ones who kept pushing the term 'austerity', which is why the article is using that word in relation to welfare cuts.

If you want to argue terminology, fine, don't call it 'austerity', choose a narrower label like 'welfare cuts in a stagnant economy' or something.
