If you want to explicitly enter 16th notes, you have to make it obvious to StaffPad that that's what you want, otherwise it can interpret the lines as 8th or 32nd notes, or a combination of those depending on where the notes fall in the measure. Again, for simple scores where the handwritten music is fairly obvious, it works fine. The key point is that the entry method slows down professional users, because you have to make sure you're doing things that the program can understand, which means taking time to place your marks methodically and reviewing every entry you make to make sure the program was correct to your intentions.
You're completely right at it's heart is an innate doubt over whether this is actually a problem or just a manifestation of some weird thought process.

The only way to really get outside this kind of introverted bubble is to ask people or confide in them. This leads to conversations like whether an emotion like happiness is an actual thing or not that they can identify and actually feel. In the sense that they are actually sitting there and willing to state "I feel happy", it's different from yesterday. Most people are hence why I diagnose myself in line with this article.

Or, another way is people generally have an answer to the "Tell me about a time you were very happy"... a lot of people can reel something off really easily here. Sometimes it's like a wedding and you think "you could be saying that because it's accepted as a good answer" but other people say a certain day at the beach where something really specific happens and that lends credence to the idea they feel this emotion and I don't.

Actions in hyper-competitive SV have a ripple effect on the rest of tech economy globally. If the only way to compete in tech is to use performance enhancing drugs, well that's exactly the sort of situation where I'd want the government to step in with regulation. I don't want to have to use drugs in order to stay competitive. It's a health issue, similar to professional sports and drug use. Performance enhancing drugs are banned for the health of the athletes, not for the "spirit of the game."

I think it should be more proportionate, but not solely, we do want to allow people from low pop countries too.

That said, there is a funny thing, some countries consider emigration brain drain, while others consider it a source of income (remittances). I think we, being as selfish as the countries who selfishly rely on remittances, should prefer the highly skilled emigrants who will impact our economy more than emigrants who as immigrants can only offer low skilled labor (currently overrepresented in underemployment figures) this would put price pressure on the lower rungs, increase wages and afford low skills labor livable jobs. The professional class can absorb some wage stagnation whereas low skills blue collar workers have had stagnating wages for too long.

Except that it's not your body.

If you don't get vaccinated, and you get sick, then you infect everyone else. You don't have the right to choose to infect other people.

Vaccination needs to be mandatory, and if the state has to send agents to burst into people's homes, tie people down, and forcibly administer the vaccinations, then I'm all for it.

Negligent homicide is punishable both civilly and criminally in most other situations. Why not in refusing to be vaccinated?

> We are actually in a good-ish place. Most of the population is vaccinated, there's plenty of data on vaccinations available to the public, and many of the concerns have been debunked using good solid science which cannot easily be refuted.

And we're finding that a certain percentage of the population is immune to scientific refutation. They're not going away, and they're causing some areas to drop below herd immunity levels. http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonkblog/wp/2015/01/27/ca...
I would guess that most of the anti and pro-vaxers are not scientifically trained, were not involved in the development or testing of these vaccines, probably have not read any of the original reports, don't know what influences could have effected those reports and are basically regurgitating info they saw on TV or the internet.

I've heard both sides of the vaccine argument and they both have points.

Robot wars, or drone strikes, have been going on for at least 20 years perhaps more. And perhaps robots have the ability to even the battlefield. Imagine China sending billions of drones to counteract American drones. Perhaps we should be looking forward to drone war, because anyone can destroy your machines, it's not a big deal for anyone to enter such a war. There will be no diplomatic incident over destroyed robots as a provocation to all out war between countries with real power. The battlefield is pretty much open to anyone with the hardware.

Hey, I wrote this article. We cover the internet and internet culture—Reddit is a massive, massive website that has very real impacts on the media and on what the average internet user sees on a day to day basis. As a reddit user, I saw dozens of threads complaining about the front page algorithm, so I decided to look into it. I emailed Reddit and asked what the deal was, and their CEO wanted to talk about it. We write about Reddit maybe 2-3 times a month and this took me only a couple hours to write. Felt it was important.

Reddit has major problems with its community and racism and sexism and the like, but it's still a hugely influential website so changes to how it works is important

Here's the evidence I remember, so this is primary information, no citation needed: I used to work for the Federal Reserve Bank. Every fiscal quarter we'd meet with the chair where he would give us the inside straight talk about policy and governance. In 2006 during one of these conferences, the chair mentioned (paraphrasing) "We continue to be very concerned about the rise in subprime mortgages as a percentage of the mortgage industry in general but we have no way from inside the fed to change this trend. We're currently working very hard to figure out some kind of policy measures we can implement to ameliorate this." In 2006 I had no clue about how dangerous this was but as a mere software engineer, I remember distinctly lifting my chin from my screen to mark this utterance, sadly in retrospect, only to wonder what I personally should be doing to help.
Except for Chrome, and firefox users who have explicitly configured their cache size, most browsers have a very limited cache, with the average sizing being ~50MB. For everything. I don't know about you, but I've loaded 50MB already today. Because of that, I don't worry about cache hits, because the median visitor will have nothing cached. Instead, worry about total page size, and total number of http requests. Minifying dramatically helps the number of http requests.

Discovery of DNA Repair Methods Nails 2015 Chemistry Nobel Prize
Interesting question.

I would argue that viruses have an obvious impact into our human ecosystems. Losing a father, a mother, a sister, a teacher, a doctor hurts not only the person, but us all. So I would only argue for the preservation of viruses in the wild if they, somehow, had an even larger provable impact in the long run.

Also keep in mind that we don't need to eliminate viruses entirely, we can keep some samples in labs. So we aren't losing that much in term of potential scientific knowledge and we can always reintroduce them if we feel like. This is much harder to do with, say, polar bears. Once they are gone, they are gone for good. So it is in our best interest to preserve them in the wild. At least, until we figure out cloning or cryogenics.

Good point - I'm one of the few drivers who like doing it in silence so definitely biased.

Agreed that measuring consumption is tough - even if it's as simple as measuring an ad view, ad click, and then a purchase you need to take into account everything the customer has seen before. No way to currently measure something like that.

The same could be said for all their FICC offerings. Their equity analysis is also better than other platforms I've used. On top of that, their data on vanilla and exotic derivatives are OK but we had some issues with consistency between broker / market marks and Bloomberg marks for implied volatility on some of the most liquid contracts out there.
I am also interested. I've been curious what strategic elements a real space combat situation (on the scale of a solar system) demands, and if an interesting game can be made out of it.

Of course, there is a Dark Pattern of making a WWW page that seems potentially interesting, and making it nigh on impossible to follow.

It's exemplified by the people who intentionally use wacky fonts with the stated goal that such fonts make people read more carefully and not speed read. And it's exemplified by the video clip where the sound quality is so utterly abysmal that one has to listen extremely hard to make out any speech at all.

The YouTube page for the presentation on the opening page here has complaint after complaint about the sound quality. (YouTube's subtitles system seems completely befuddled by the speaker's British accent, moreover, and is a joy in its own right; with boshifying substitutions practically every second word, such as substituting "patent" for "pattern".)

The pattern classification (in the library that we are told is "on the left of this screen" but is actually in a banner at the top) is interesting, and reminiscent of the classification for propaganda that was used by the Institute for Propaganda Analysis in the U.S. in the 1930s.

We are actually very fortunate that the Earth is not very spherical, because without that satellites on the high inclination orbits like the polar orbits and the Molinya orbits would crash into the Earth.

Due to perturbations of the Moon, high inclination orbits have a tendency to be pushed from low eccentricity to very high eccentricity. (This is known as the Kozai-Lidov mechanism.) However, the fact that the Earth's gravitational potential is not exactly spherical (it has a quadrupole moment) makes these orbits precess, and this precession happens to be fast enough to suppress the eccentricity oscillations.

There is a very good and very readable article by Scott Tremaine on this subject here: http://arxiv.org/abs/1309.5244
> can anyone argue that the anti-vaxxers don't have a point when they're on about exactly this sort of profit-driven evil from Big Pharma

Yes; they do not have a point as regards vaccines.

Because vaccines are so essential to public health, they're very closely regulated and monitored by the FDA. Samples from each and every lot of each and every vaccine are passed to CBER and tested (for efficacy, sterility, etc) at several stages of production, and licenses for distribution are granted per lot, based on passing those tests.

The FDA knows exactly what they want from these drugs, what the active agents are and how they work, and how to test for them. They don't accept cleverness or variations. There's essentially no profit in this process and no room for profit.
