One possible if slightly disheartening lesson of the study could be, in fact, that we may need to cover considerable mileage in order to experience a runner’s high; the mice in the study, small as they are, averaged more than three miles every day on their wheels.

I'm on track for 3000 miles this year. I ran over 2000 miles last year. My shortest run in the last few months is 4 miles, and that's on days when I double with a 6 mile run. I've raced almost a dozen marathons and I run the half-marathon distance a couple times a week. So I think it's fair to say that I "cover considerable mileage." This isn't all just slow miles either. As any runner trying to improve, I also run intervals of varying distances and tempos (where you run about as fast as you could race for an hour, but for about 30-45 minutes).

So I enjoy running. There are runs where I'm relaxed and in the groove and the miles just click by. But that's just an enjoyable experiece, like relaxing at the beach. It's nothing like the high from smoking marijuana. Or the exhileration from something like sky diving that first time. Or post-orgasm bliss.

I've also spoken with a few ultra-marathoners, runners that cover 50-100 miles or run for 24 hours straight. None of us have experienced a "high" from running. Have we all been duped? Maybe we're all expecting the wrong thing?

I'm envious of those mice... :-)
As a trans techie (and a lesbian at that), I already can't stand John.

This guy is nuts. Tech is the single most friendly industry for trans people; there's a reason why working in tech is a transfeminine stereotype.
Summary: I don't see an actual problem here.

"...found in the public release of iOS 9." Facebook can't claim copyright on Apple's UI elements by simply recreating them in a Photoshop mockup.

Upon further reading of the license, I see that it says you can't embed the Facebook Design Resources in an app. In other words, you can't redistribute their Photoshop files.
You are absolutely right, and they should have been punished.

But those loans also shouldn't have been granted, which was the bank's responsibility. Most of them should have been caught during underwriting and verification. What, exactly, were they doing?

This is a deception or failure on both parts.
Feel better. Technical arguments will still be here when you do.
The SEC has been very recently and selectively cracking down on excessive order cancelling though, so it's not clear that it's not illegal and is "just being smart with their orders".
This. When talking to extremely non-technical people (or being one yourself), who are we to begrudge a few abstractions?

Isn't the important thing that it's a appropriate and functional abstraction in the problem space in which it's deployed?
> Sure, but while you're at the office/at work/in your apartment?

Yes, I actually like being woken up by birds or seeing an actual tree when I look out of my office window. I don't want to commute to a "recreational space" and I enjoy having meetings in cafes just outside, sitting in the sun, having a coffee. If you walk in between skyscrapers, you have about one hour per day of direct sunlight.

> there's something very satisfying about looking out from a high floor on a tall building

Only when your view is not blocked by another just as tall building across the street.

I can appreciate nice architecture. But I lived in London for some time and I also enjoyed the low-rise architecture that still makes up most of the inner city. The only thing that, after some time, annoyed me: Always seeing the Gherkin (which, as far as I know, is not even profitable). The picture on WP illustrates that pretty well: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/30_St_Mary_Axe

> [The places where space is at a premium] are also the areas where people want to live.

And here one should ask what made those places so desirable in the first place. Would San Francisco still be hip without the parks and cafes but with skyscraper next to skyscraper? I would doubt that.
Sounds really dangerous:

At least is a materialist theory.

The other one is about the observer affecting the universe in an unknown way.
You make some compelling points but I'm still not convinced that this form of protectionism is the only avenue to innovation. The strength of a company is often in its organization, processes, location, and systems which are difficult to copy in a cohesive way without being gifted with similar circumstances. Why can't a company's strength and success in the marketplace be defined by these characteristics as opposed to legislative shields? Winner-takes-all systems often shape organizational behavior to be more defensive than creative.
I plan to write about it; the thing is, the Reduceron is not a more performant machine when all is said and done. Memory costs you a lot in area and power and throwing channels at the problem needlessly and saying youve solved the von neumann bottleneck is a worse idea than trying to avoid banging at the memory needlessly; using C is a part of a working strategy to acheive the latter.
This was my thought as well - I've heard metallic mercury is relatively safe. However, a little bit of googling turned up this:

The issue with metallic mercury is the vapors are easily absorbed through the lungs, and not easily filtered (requires an activated carbon filter).

Good point!

Do we need to qualify this with saying over 2^64 bytes? What is the mose memory you can get in a machine with current hardware and constant latency? Just goes to show how much more important the space effect is vs. the addressing effect.

No doubt if we tried to have 2^64 bytes of memory we would end up with another layer of cache or 2.
I've been getting these for a while, and I'm a Sprint customer. I also know others who use T-Mobile who get them as well. I don't believe it's limited to a single carrier.
I'm curious why you say "when visiting a AMP-enabled web pages, the pages do not render at all". I'm not seeing the same result. The first two 'AMP' pages I tested loaded very quickly and were easily readable.

I use Firefox with NoScript, which is definitely blocking the JS from ampproject.org. I also use Privacy Badger and uBlock Origin (thanks btw) and I'm not having any trouble at all. Here are the figures for the two pages I've tested with so far:

1- Visiting https://www.ampproject.org/how-it-works/ loads a perfectly readable page weighing 16.05kB in 40ms. It's just one file, the HTML document.

2- Visiting The Verge's demo page http://www.theverge.com/platform/amp/2015/10/7/9467149/googl... also loads a single perfectly readable HTML document weighing 17.6kB in 184ms.

I've used NoScript for quite a while and while I don't expect every page to work perfectly with it, the speed gains are incredible! AMP and NoScript aren't directly comparable but they seem to be accomplishing the same thing for me. Only one of them is also blocking third-party tracking and delivering feather-light pages which nearly always render acceptably.

Can you please clarify whether you mean the pages are totally blank, or if they just don't render the same as if you had allowed them to execute JS? (obviously if you globally block ampproject.org you can't access even their index.html page but that's not the info I'm after...)
No, it doesn't work in Linux, it needs the desktop app to work.
Really ?

I usually try to run in parks, and usually I end up thinking about a bunch of stuff (work,daily life...), barely noticing the fact that I'm running, or where, or the music playing.

Also my thoughts during running tend to be much more positive and optimistic (to the point of daydreaming) than otherwise.

I've read some sources that state as adults get older, they lose some of their inhibitions even if they don't suffer from dementia. However, I couldn't find any scholarly papers to back that up. Most of them are specific case studies, not statistical investigations.

What I did find however, is a paper that claims older adults are not more likely to be defrauded than the rest of the population. I'm somewhat skeptical of the claim, but it should be evaluated: http://pps.sagepub.com/content/9/4/427.short

No, but it will make a huge difference choosing between Trudeau & Mulcair. Mulcair is unequivocably against the TPP, Trudeau said he'll "thoroughly examine" it.
Lastpass premium customer here. It was $12/yr. (that will probably change after the 2yr/$15M target is over)

Right now lastpass encrypts in the browser and the company only saves a binary blob that they can't access. So your data is safe. But they said, "As we become part of the LogMeIn family over the next several months, we’ll be releasing updates to LastPass, introducing new features.." that makes me nervous.

The comments here have lots of suggestions like keepass, but none of them really compare with the Lasspass Android support where it will automatically log you into apps.

Yes, and the assumption is that a horse is worth between $0 and some number so there is never a reason to refuse a gift horse.

Yes, I don't think it's any exaggeration when they say that the TPP agreement will kill people. Medicine vital to survival will be priced out of reach of some of the less fortunate, and some of them will die. This bill is not safe for public consumption.

My hope is that this particular issue will be bigger than they thought it would be due to the recent price issues around Daraprim (from $13.50 a pill to $750).
That usually means they don't understand how to use their diaphragm to suck the smoke into their lungs. They suck it into their mouth and then blow it.
Pretty much everyone DOES deny this, once you factor in all costs. Pollution costs everyone. The undeniably better prices don't count that cost.
Possibly, patent should have some minimal effort time. After, say, 3 years you have to demonstrably prove that you will take the patent to market. For example, a software product should have some code written that uses the patent, even if incomplete. So long as you do nothing with the patent, anyone can get a royalty free license to it when they challenge you (after the grace period).

This would encourage people to take their innovations to market, instead of sitting on them and bunkrupting anyone else who tries to.

Not really. To continue the analogy, in HTML doesn't really have keywords, but has syntax in the form of brackets, quotes, =, etc. Tags are like function calls, and the built in tags are like the standard library. Until custom elements you couldn't declare "functions".
Assuming you're not building "this product" under the cover of a corporation (in which you really do need a lawyer), you could always proceed pro se, which involves representing yourself.

Give caving to their demands a serious thought for a minute- have a disinterested party (or two) look over any agreements you've signed and the motion for injunction. If they don't completely take your side, odds are you're going to lose at trial because you can't convince a jury. At that point you'd be right where you would be if you caved, only two years older with nothing to show for it and a great deal poorer.

This needs to be a cold, calculated financial decision on your part. Even if you're right and exonerated, does pursuing your product (versus some other product) pay enough to justify the additional costs?

To argue the matter on the principles is a privilege of the wealthy.
You are treating this as cause and effect, i.e. cops kill people because people shoot at them. This is more of a case of the chicken and the egg, do civilians shoot police because police shoot civilians or do police shoot more civilians because civilians shoot police.

Regardless of the answer, US police have a more violent response than other police. Anecdotally you just need to look at those situations where the police fire off 100's of rounds at a suspect, or where there is a chase and 50 cops leap from cars to jump on(and beat) as suspect.

Body cameras for officers are the only way for the US to reverse the trend of a hyper violent Law Enforcement officers.

I really think there is some other maybe even unidentified kind of mental issue going on with this kind of scam. I say that because I know of some people who are locked into the Iraqi dinar scam and simply cannot see what is going on in spite of being otherwise ostensibly smart and intelligent people. Maybe it's "greed" , but it seems to me that it's more of a vulnerability due to hopes and dreams not matching topic sophistication.
Elon Musk: Apple is a ‘Tesla graveyard’ that only hires the engineers he fires
Several factors:

1) FPGAs are much slower due to the overhead of the flexibility they provide. With a lot of effort, you can get some FPGA designs (not even all of them!) to maybe 400 MHz on the more expensive FPGAs, and then it will do much less per cycle compared to an ASIC (CPUs are ASICs), so you need deep pipelines, with all the cost, complexity, and restrictions this entails.

2) CPUs have a lot of memory on-chip in the form of cache (several MiB), and they have sophisticated prefetch logic. In FPGAs, memory comes in several 100 blocks of, say, 4 kiB (depending on FPGA model). All memory management is purely manual.

3) CPUs tend to have a much higher external memory bandwidth.

4) Complex operations that are not directly provided by the FPGA fabric, like floating-point arithmetic or large memories with more than two ports, are expensive in terms of area and performance.

5) Modern desktop CPUs are incredibly well optimized: high clock frequency, out-of-order execution, superscalarity with several execution units, SIMD, automatic cache management, branch prediction, ... It's just very hard to beat that, and this is only possible for certain, very restricted applications. Highly parallel DSP (Digital Signal Processing) with integer/fixed-point arithmetic comes to mind.
Compared to the US, China has a lot less of both violent crime and beggars. I'm sorry but it seems you don't know what you are talking about.
You can always decide to exit a treaty. If enough people voted in representatives willing to exit the treaty it would be done.

The TPP isn't a real treaty as that requires a 2/3 vote in the Senate its what's known as a trade promotion authority.

Constitutional amendments trump treaties. If anything is found to be unconstitutional in the treaty by SCOTUS, then the treaty may need to be broken.

Tax breaks so often get sucked up by the supplier, so the consumer sees none of it. Prices will jack up until, even with a consumer tax break, its almost exactly the same deal as conventional energy. Anything else is leaving money on the table, which no rational supplier will do.

Means, if tax breaks are not uniform (state by state for instance) then they server to impede new markets.

Wasn't at least one guy's amphetamine use described in On the Road? I think it was, but it has been a while since I read the book.
That document says, "People often keep jars of mercury in their homes because they think that mercury is worth money, like liquid silver. In reality, mercury is nearly worthless, but the cleanup cost after a large spill easily can exceed the cost of a home."

http://minerals.usgs.gov/minerals/pubs/commodity/mercury/mcs... gives the price of mercury as US$1850 per 76-pound flask, up from US$1076 in 2010. That's US$54/kg, or US$730 per liter at 13.5 g/cc (cf. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercury_%28element%29). Silver is currently http://www.cmegroup.com/trading/metals/precious/silver.html US$15.76 per troy ounce, which is US$506.70/kg or US$5315 per liter at 10.49 g/cc (cf. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silver). Silver also has the advantage that it won't make you sick if you spill it.

As a point of comparison, copper is sufficiently expensive that people steal copper pipes and wires from unoccupied houses. Copper costs US$2.41/lb. (US$5.31/kg), less than 1% of the cost of mercury. The junk man in the slum where I'm going this afternoon will pay you AR$35/kg for it, which is US$2.23/kg, which is enough to incentivize the cartoneros to break the yokes off any CRT discarded on the street within hours. (He doesn't list a price for mercury on his sign.)

So "nearly worthless" seems like an exaggeration — mercury is worth more per liter than any other commodity substance you're likely to have in your house other than silver and Freon-22 — but it also doesn't seem like a really smart investment, especially if you have kids.
>To be clear, I don’t have data backing any of this up.

I stopped reading after that claim.
Something this article ignores, and which is ignored by most articles on HFT, is that the process is ilegible to the public. "No no we're doing you a favor!" is not reassuring when the activity consumes a bunch of resources on zero sum activity.

Ultimately investing runs on trust. HFT is consuming public trust in the financial system at a prodigious rate. Is it a trillion dollars a year? A billion? Hard to be sure. But it certainly isn't clear the tiny market-making improvements are worth it.

I have used MSYS2 but decided to come back to Cygwin.

1. Commands in MSYS2, while fast in its shell, are slower than Cygwin's commands when run in PowerShell.
2. MSYS2 can't be installed via Chocolatey. It's because MSYS2 owners are against Chocolatey (insane!). Which makes it harder to automate the replication of my environment across machines.
3. Cygwin does has package managers. I use Cyg-Get, which is also available via Chocolatey.

Don't mean to compare to OP's 50k repair bill, but even 5k-10k for someone else's negligence hurts when insurance somehow dodges the bullet.

Google's slogan shifted from "don't be evil" to "do the right thing", the former is arguable to say the least based on its records, but moving to the latter is worse, as google can just do the "right" thing for its own benefit, which could be selfish, and blatantly evil sometimes.
The newest physics is even more pessimistic, putting it at O(m^½) because of the holographic principle.
