Meh..

You can resell a test so long as you follow the rules of the contract of the manufacturer and applicable CLIA and other FDA regulations. These are subject to audit etc... You should not report clinical results from tests not run in a CLIA or FDA approved way. So if a test is run on Siemens for reporting clinical results then the audit goes on that pathway. Diluting the pinprick blood to run on a test that requires larger volumes probably won't work either unless they've shown it does and that of course depends on the CLIA and/or FDA regulations around the test to prove equivalence. It seems like it won't work since the tests have specific input requirements (e.g. 100mL plasma vs 1mL). You might be able to go the other way.. but you miss the cellular and interstitial components that may add noise (e.g. potassium which cells bioaccumulate etc)..

Which other rules apply probably depends on interpretation of whether these are lab developed tests or FDA regulated and this area may require clarification etc... which will depend test to test etc...

Otherwise it sounds like they may have calibration issues which are normal. Outliers happen all the time. If the technology doesn't have some fundamental limit of detection based on the sample volume then they just need to keep iterating. Or the components of blood from the pin prick differ significantly from blood taken from the vein. The data may just be noisy. What that noise level is matters in terms of the detection limits. It is probably too early to tell. Internally they will be tracking this and trying to figure it out.

So this article seems like click bait, but what do I know.

Title is somewhat misleading: "impossible to trace" refers to FinFisher's marketing claims for the spyware they sell, which security researches have found to be not so true after all. The way the title is worded, one would assume the discovery being reported is a new unknown and "impossible to trace" spyware infecting computers around the world.

There are quite a few other responses in this thread now that show that the OP came across, to say the least, quite intimidatingly, and the wording of the post dramatically oversimplified the complexity of other peoples' lives, and the myriad of factors that would govern such a decision.

Keep in mind that under our current system, to a large extent giving up your money voluntarily to other people (charitable donations) gets you an exemption from giving up your money involuntarily (taxes).

So if they're not giving it to charity to avoid paying the taxes they whine about, why should we believe that they'll give it to charity if we get rid of taxation?
Well controlled studies on elite athletes are pretty hard to come by, because nobody wants to go off a routine that is working for them and potentially be set back several months for the sake of science. The people near the top are hyper-competitive and will do whatever it takes to win.

That being said, in addition to the anecdotal evidence that vegans are VASTLY under-represented in the upper echelons of strength and power sports compared with their relative abundance in the general population, there are some good studies comparing muscle protein synthesis following ingestion of whey vs soy protein:

http://ajcn.nutrition.org/content/86/2/373.short
http://www.biomedcentral.com/content/pdf/1743-7075-9-57.pdf

There is also some data suggesting vegans have slightly lower free testosterone and free IGF-1 than omnivores too, though at the highest levels rampant steroid use probably makes this a moot point.

I need an SSN so I can pay into social security and eventually make use of those benefits. Also pretty sure I couldn't have applied for it in advance because I didn't have any non-tax treaty income to report, which is what prevented me from getting one when I tried a few years ago.

I applied for a SSN when I got here but it took 4 weeks to process. I now have an SSN card with a statement on it saying that I'm only allowed to work with DHS authorization.

Part of the hassle is because I signed up for services with no SSN but web sites all assume you have an SSN. The other problem is that credit histories don't cross the border. Even with an SSN, I've got no public record or credit history.

What I find funny (or sad) is that when I call to update my records with my SSN (largely so I can build a credit history) people refuse to take the number over the phone, and will not take an email scan. They only want snail mail or fax.
As a tech lead your job is to support the developers in your team so they are as effective as possible. This means:

1. You must know the code. Say 'no' to meetings - spend most your time coding
2. Be honest - When you know the answer say so even if that means someone will have to redo a lot of work. If you don't know the answer, say so (there's no point pretending to be cleverer than you are - you got the job so you deserve it, never try to prove your abilities to others)
3. Remember your job is to support others so fight for your team's interests even (especially) when unpopular higher up.
4. Lead by example - take the shit jobs and write awesome code.
5. Let your team members review your code AND TAKE THEIR ADVICE!
6. When team members ask you questions attack their problems with the same determination as you would attack your own
7. To inspire your team members you need to be loyal to them.
8. To inspire your team members you need to be loyal to the business (often forgotten)
9. '7' is more important than '8'
10. Be the best developer you can be (note the word 'be' not 'appear to be')

Ultimately, if your team regularly invite you for beers after work and your boss respects you then you are doing ok. Never, ever assume that 'team lead' is anything more than a specialist role within the team. Your job is to support others. That does not make you more special or important. Respect is earned not given. Being a good team lead is much the same as being a good developer. If you find the job hard then you weren't really a good developer. This is why a lot of companies don't externally recruit tech leads, preferring to recruit from within.
> Even if you've got the answer, sometimes it makes sense to let your team make the decision. There are often many right answers. Remember, your job isn't to choose a right answer, it's to ensure that the team doesn't choose a wrong answer.

Couldn't agree more. Allowing the team to own decisions as a group goes a long way toward boosting morale and giving each member a greater sense of pride and ownership. Sometimes people need subtle guidance away from poor choices, but often time, allowing people to explore options on their own-even briefly, they'll often make the right choice in the end.

Stats also works fine with pure []float64 data. The types allow for a very clean API for working with data and statistics. You can compare using functions[1] or methods[2] in /examples.

I started with only []float64 but wanted to allow stuff like this:

// Do stuff to get the data and
// store it in var data []float64
return data
}

var d Float64Data = getData()
fmt.Println(d.Max())

As hands off as the war is it still costs more than it's worth. The benefit is not only zero, at the end of the day we have more enemies than we started with - along with all the human collateral. Obama could literally have taken that entire operations budget, spent it on hookers and coke, and we'd still be better off.

I'm not sure what the natural state of mankind is, but the increasing flow of information is forcing us to act rationally and remember we have a public reputation that may follow us forever. Accountability is quickly becoming forced on us by the internet and smartphones so it'll be interested to see how this all turns out.

Or... legalize opiates? It's clear that the actual problem in stories like this article is purely caused by legality and the prices it entails. Opiates are really cheap (if you don't by brand-name ones). It'd be no big deal at all for people to use if they didn't pay these ridiculous prices. No stealing. No using dirty needles if they could just get them. And on and on.

Plus people wouldn't be as tempted to switch from properly produced pharma-grade pills to "street heroin", which can vary immensely in quality and purity. They do now because the pricing is out of control, due to the DEA's war on pain patients.

Is there a limit on disk space?

Can I ask how much disk is used (or how you much disk you project will be used) on average per email group?

I loved the simplicity of the UI and the short explanations.
I don't think the deaths are the most important thing; rather, it's the absences:

• Presume that a job market contains people with job-skills, and people without (i.e. "lemons").

• Presume that businesses function better when they can select from a talent pool with fewer lemons; and that lemons in a job market create "noise" in the hiring process that cause openings to go unfilled for longer.

• Now, presume either a draft (which doesn't care about job-skills, but does care about age, tending to select for younger people with fewer job-skills), or simply a military with lower job-skill requirements for entry than most occupations.

Thus, a military on a war footing will selectively withdraw more lemons than non-lemons from the job market, leaving it full of higher-quality candidates, making the businesses in that market more efficient.

For this hypothesis to be accurate, the same thing would have to happen if we just gave all the people being sent to war public-sector jobs (or Basic Income) instead. Though that would perhaps work better than a war for stimulating the economy: people remaining in the country would be spreading their demand across the market, rather than consuming goods exclusively from the military's line-of-supply contractors.

The best thing you can't say about Winston "I am strongly in favour of using poisoned gas against uncivilised tribes" Churchill is that he wasn't Hitler or Stalin or the more freedom-loving but less talented people. I think his cute quote about democracy is similar, it sounds insightful until you compare it with anything more serious.

Democracy relates to various implementations of it like "blogging" does to "Wordpress version X.Y", and to various modes of control like an email from a friend does to spam containing a virus. There is a grey area, too, plenty of emails from real friends with viruses attached by intermediate servers.

I'd say the best thing you can say about democracy is that it scares power shitless, even when it's hardly effective and comes from the guts of people more than adult and focused thought and organizing. Once we ever being implemented without anyone who doesn't want it to work being involved, we can talk benchmarks. As it is, it's like writing a program in C, then letting a bunch of cats walk over the keyboard, then compiling, and saying C sucks.

"Make basic income only available to US citizens. Congratulations, we have now fully devolved into a classist society"

Do you honestly think that this is a fair description of the consequences of that course of action? There are plenty of things only available to US citizens. Voting. Running for office. Any kind of federal assistance. Military enrollment. Diplomatic protections.

I really don't see how this option is anything different from what we already have. It would be federal assistance, after all, and non-citizens already don't get that.

I have been hoping to read an article that made a good case for basic income but everything I've seen so far appears to be written by authors with a rudimentary understanding of both economic systems and human behavior.

If you gave a flat distribution of income to a large population set my suspicion is that the money would flow in to housing. Depending on the underlying structure of the particular housing market(s), and the regulatory structure for those market(s) would determine what actually would happen -- better housing, worse housing, the same housing but higher rents, etc.

The other stuff the supply should be elastic enough as to not drive up prices and in some cases would even result in lower prices. Note, if the basic income was applied at a flat rate globally that absolutely wouldn't be the case.
The military doesn't have lower skill requirements than the average job. It does have very large and expensive training programs to make up for that.

Two main issues with Basic Guaranteed Income:

1) It assumes that, just because you're a member of homo sapiens species, you ought to get resources that others produce. Why? I care more about my dog than I care about most people. If someone kidnapped my dog and 100k random people and told me: "You can either save your dog or 100k random people. Choosing one will mean me killing the other". I would choose my dog to live and permit 100k people to die.

2) Something very similar could be applied to dating and reproduction. Why not? You could argue that you live long enough to reproduce and that reproduction is the basic, biological purpose of life for all organisms. So, if someone is unattractive, just create a Basic Reproduction Guarantee. The same reasoning used for redistributing money could be used for redistributing sex. Since Basic Income is not considered stealing, then Basic Reproduction should not be considered rape.

I'm Asking Taylor Swift to My 22nd Birthday with This Song
As I stated in my own comment, we already have a form of this today, so clearly I do think it is similar to our current system. However, I think that a defining differentiator is that a basic income can assist in luxury assistance beyond pure help. That is to say, if we offer purely assistive programs that are arguably necessary to a subset of the population (such as healthcare), it is clearly fundamentally unfair, but arguably morally net positive. If however, you offer a check that the person can use at their discretion (and thus choose to for example use it for vacation or gambling or any purpose they choose), then it is unfair and morally questionable. I think this is obvious.

Separately, I do not think it is unfair description at all, but rather an objective measure of the service proposed, as opposed to a subjective one from thethe population that stands to gain vs the population that stands to lose. I have listed scenarios that I think are fundamentally unfair: young able-bodied members of society with no dependents receiving aid whereas older members of society that have dependents would not. It doesn't matter to me that "we already" do unfair things, this point has not been at all addressed. Existing wrongs are not arguments for new wrongs.

Additionally, regardless of whether you agree with the fundamental morality of these situations, I think you can't argue with proposed consequences. I think that this system will absolutely make immigration harder in the US (through increased "protective" insular policies to keep "freeloaders" out), and thus hurt the economy as a whole.
