The full paper is at http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/anie.201508708/fu... and titled 'Sulfur-Limonene Polysulfide: A Material Synthesized Entirely from Industrial By-Products and Its Use in Removing Toxic Metals from Water and Soil'.

> In conclusion, we have explored the properties of a polysulfide synthesized entirely from the industrial by-products sulfur and limonene. The polysulfide is easy to synthesize on a large scale and requires no exogenous reagents or solvents. The polysulfide removes PdII and HgII from water and soil and turns yellow when exposed to mercury(II). This response is selective for mercury, a discovery that may find use in sensing applications. We plan to develop the sulfur-limonene polysulfide as an inexpensive material for environmental remediation, where it will be used to sequester toxic metals from complex mixtures. More generally, this research is part of a growing effort to identify new and useful properties of materials with high sulfur content6 and to synthesize them in an efficient and sustainable fashion.
Man, this bit has gotten me flak everywhere. Here's what I think.

99.5% of websites that use this tag - it does nothing. Internet Explorer users don't set their own Compatibility View settings, so we can ignore that. Second, if you're cool enough to be on Microsoft's Compatibility View list, you're cool enough to know that you need an X-UA-Compatible tag and you know what it should be set to.

The problem I have is people blindly copy-pasting this value from whatever HTML5 boilerplate they got it from. I'm going to rephrase this section of the post to make my point more clear.

EDIT: Toned down my phrasing in the article to be more specific about when you can safely remove X-UA-Compatible tags. Yes, there's an argument that it doesn't cost you anything to keep it in there, but there's also arguments for ultra-short head tags (<4 KB) related to TCP windows, which I'll get into in another post.

I think you're right, but sometimes it becomes easier for people to complain about cultural appropriation because of the context.

E.g. consider how black women often get criticised for styles that are then praised on white celebrities. Things like hairstyles that have been common in black culture for a long time, like corn-rows, for example.

In those cases, it's easy for people to dismiss criticism of this as not having anything to do with racism by saying that "oh, no we really didn't like them, but now someone has shown it can be cool, and it has nothing to do with race" or something similar. Fashions change. It's a plausible excuse. Sometimes.

Talking about cultural appropriation then becomes a way of criticising that practice in a way where you make the "oh no it's not racism" excuse moot by re-framing the debate.

In that way, it could be a useful way of attacking hidden racism.

The problem, of course, is that it works exactly because it ignores the intentions of the people involved and becomes a weapon that hits equally hard against people intentionally or unintentionally perpetuating hidden racism as against people who are genuinely appreciative of something.
Ha ha. I'd been reading HN on my phone, saw the parent comment, thought 'I should write a post about Ada', and when I got back to my computer, saw this...

Yes, ranges work. They (and ordinary integers) throw exceptions on overflow:

type NonoverflowingByte is integer range 0..255;

If you want modulus arithmetic, you specify it:

type OverflowingByte is mod 256;

Modulus types seem to be always unsigned and are always 0-based. Anyone know different?

For saturating arithmetic, there doesn't seem to be built-in language support. (There isn't even a standard library package. That seems to be a bit of an omission. Isn't saturating arithmetic common in the kind of real-time environment where Ada is used?)

Ada so totally deserves to be better known.
No, because they're crazy.

What has given you the idea that the only viable 'Encoder' is written language? Voice or (depending on the bandwidth performance of a given area) video could do the job just as well, at least initially.

Those aren't very fair to the dynamic languages and JIT compiled languages (this includes Scala).

* For the dynamic languages execution time includes the time it takes to lex, parse and interpret the source code.

* For language implementations with a JIT execution time includes the time the JIT takes to properly optimise hot code paths. Generally you start benchmarking after a warm up period in such cases.

The only fair comparisons are those between ahead of time compiled languages.

A few years before that, I went to the FedEx office at the St. Louis airport to pick up a package. While waiting in line, I overheard a guy talking about how he was a driver for a new car company and was taking it around the country to show potential dealers to get them to sign up to sell it. I struck up a conversation with him and he invited me to come out and see this new, different type of car and, there it was, one of the first minted DeLoreans.

That's pretty nice - like CLOS multiple dispatch with arbitrary predicates rather than types.

Are there any restriction on what the code in the guards can do?
Right they don't now how to explain it classically. In much the same way as electromagnetic waves for example are spooky if you try to explain them as propagating mechanically in the same way sound does. Light travelling in a vacuum?? Spooky! This in't time travel, there is no effect and no action at a distance. It's just how that state works. In the same way as I can't visualise a 5 dimensional sphere, I can't create a classical model that explains entanglement, but I can make predictions mathematically, observe the effects and then know that's how things are. Once you go beyond things that make sense intuitively, all you have is maths!

> Ada so totally deserves to be better known

I do wonder why it isn't. It's probably handicapped by its history: once people have written off a language they'll never look at it again, despite improvements to fix the very problems they fled.

Web Development process
Hello everyone, I have an idea of creating a website for education collaboration between the students from the government school and non-government school.

In this portal the student will register, access the notes, guide other students, post comments on particular subject, can take quiz about the particular subject, and other features.

I am not getting a clue on doing requirement analysis, database design.

Is there any process or a pattern to follow before doing actual coding. I heard about agile development process, but i am unable to figure out, as I was stuck in requirement analysis and database design.

It would be helpful is there any particular steps or pattern to follow before doing actual coding of the software

The technologies I am planning to use are Django python framework and for the database mysql. for the frontend I am planning to use the bootstrap.

The problem with me is I am not able to blend my knowledge to create the data driven website. I am missing something systematic way, the best practices, the pattern that should follow.

It would be very useful for me, if anyone give me some suggestions about proper way of planning, analysis to create a data driven website
I'm not saying magnetism and entanglement are related, I'm saying that when we talk about forces between things, when we get down to it we have no more an understanding of how force "works" than we do how entanglement "works". We want everything to be like little machines with cogs and wheels and pulleys. But what is force? What is the thing that repels two negative charges? There's no "mechanism", that's just what force is and what it does. We're so comfortable accepting all this other shit about how the universe operates why should entanglement be any different?

I worked at Rocket Internet and the main problem they have is like any big company; a few very good people and a lot of useless people. Any proper startup worth their salt, competing with rocket directly, will absolutely slaughter them.
Oh, we have those. The metrics gathered by a team doing TSP (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_software_process) are useful since the SEI (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_Engineering_Institute) has data on thousands of projects and the metrics do provide good guidance when used appropriately. It is possible to consistently achieve < 0.1 defects/kloc using TSP.

The problem is, having spent seven years on a PSP/TSP team, that it greatly slows the development process so it's really only useful for those few types of projects where the cost of quality is worth it. For the vast majority of software, I'd say that it's better to accept a small number of minor defects in order to ship faster.

TRANSCRIPT

[Ron Beeson, Lockton] If you are retailer with a point of sale machine and you take customer credit cards, if you don't use something to encrypt, end-to-end, that credit card, you're probably going to find it very difficult now to get insurance.

[Jim Finkle, Reuters] You hear a lot about cyber insurance, growing as an industry, but what about the rates? If you have a car and you get into auto accidents, you want to make sure that the other people on the road also have insurance -- but if they're not protected and there's an accident, that means that you'd have to pick up the costs. Cyber insurance covers costs associated with a cyber attack. If you're a company that has access to a large number of credit cards, your rates are likely to have gone way up in the past year.

[Bob Paris, Marsh] The insurance industry has now absorbed several hundred-million-dollar losses in the retail and health-care space -- and for a relatively immature market as cyber is, having three or four hundred-million dollar losses is going to have an impact.

[Richard Bortnick, Traub Lieberman Strauss & Shrewsbury LLP] The claims frequency and severity was not anticipated, because you had no historical model to build in. It's all new, and everybody's learning at the same time.

[Ron Beeson, Lockton] That increase isn't going to work. And what you are now seeing is certain insurers starting to invest, and work with in partnership with silicon valley, with certain technology companies, to help better understand the risk that the underwriters are writing and price the risk.

[Bob Paris, Marsh] It's an aggregation of things. Various regulatory environment, the FCC, big breaches -- that's when we started to see these huge purchasing trends start to change. Now the question is more about resiliency -- because the thought is, you're gonna get breached, you're gonna get attacked, but how capable are you, how resilient are you, to work through that event?

[Richard Bortnick, Traub Lieberman Strauss & Shrewsbury LLP] As their premium rates go up, they'll probably increase prices to the consumer, and so it trickles down to the lowest denominator. I think at some point the government is going to mandate certain industries have cyber insurance. It'll become enterprise risk management to have the insurance. The alternative -- to be without insurance -- is to bet the business.

[Ron Beeson, Lockton] Everyone should be investing in cyber security, regardless of whether you consider insurance or not. But it's important to understand that insurance does not replace that investment.

[graphic] CYBER RISK -- Target expects insurance to cover $90 million of the $264 million of costs related to its 2013 attack. Home Depot expects $100 million in insurance payments toward $232 million in expenses from its 2014 breach.
Depends on which era you're referring to.

Yes, low cost hardware drove Windows/PC adoption in the 80-90's. This was key to Windows success.

However, throughout the 00's the continued downward pressure on pricing by OEMs, Microsoft's questionable decisions, and the cheapening of the PC brands, caused consumers to be seek a premium alternative.

I believe it also makes sense to separate the consumer vs enterprise markets. Buying Microsoft at home is not the same decision process as buying Microsoft at work.
Yes, and he was right not to be easy with that, because there are no faster than light effects. Entanglement is a state in which some measurements of objects are correlated. End of story. There's no "wires" connecting them, it's just how shit works. It's no more spooky than how light travels in a vacuum. If you try to understand light as propagating the same as sound, it's spooky. But light works differently than sound. Measurement of very small things works differently than measurement of very large things. It's just not that big of a deal. Like it's important and interesting but everyone gets hung up on this spooky bullshit.
When one of my children was about 4 or 5 we visited friends in Abu Dhabi. We went out for brunch in one of the 6* hotels there.

The pudding table was enormous with 3 chocolate fountains, piles of cakes, the works.

My son went up to the table, stood there for about 3 minutes, then burst into tears. Just the thought of deciding what he wasn't going to eat was too much for him.
An extension of this is "shut up and test it". MWI has an experiment. I'm ambivalent about it being feasible since on my (layman) reading it sounds like you need to turn back time by proxy to execute it.

>Yes, there are choices that will make you stuck in analysis paralysis, but choosing which bottle of water to buy isn't one.

He was going for rhetorical effect. I think they should teach these things in reading/writing classes, so people don't take everything literally.

That said, choosing from "a towering aisle of water bottles" can still cost you up to a minute or more on deciding, which, while not Buridan's ass, it's still non-productive and worsens your shopping experience.

Either way, go with prepaid if you are in the US. Those "plans" the big carriers have are insanely costly. Over 10 years you are going to spend roughly $6,000 to $8,000 per cell phone.

If you go iPhone, they have iMessage for texting which costs $0 on pre-paid but you both need to have iPhones. Use WiFi where you can (home, work) and find a pre-paid option for other times. iMessage is handy if a lot of her friends have iPhones.

If her usage pattern doesn't involve lots of streaming movies or streaming audio then you really don't need a costly plan.

My wife is non-technical and the iPhone is wife approved. Her mom (in her sixties) just got an iPhone and she can use it too.
Obviously there's an engineer mindset where pulling up a parametric search of RF inductors at an electronic component supplier bringing up over 25K results brings forth a smile and happiness not terror or paralysis. I was thrilled to see over 25K results and with some more parametric searching I found one with a self resonance above 4 GHz and over 100 mA limit and blah blah blah and the GPS preamp ended up working perfectly in the end. It was so comforting seeing 25K results, knowing my project would almost certainly succeed. It certainly extends out of the workplace and into individual life.

Choice paralysis might be a legacy declining way of looking at the world, like nationalism or racism or imperialism are no longer acceptable in the current year's Overton window. Its like people who insist they won't talk to machines or won't use the internet to pay bills or won't learn how to read. Well, get used to choice or become obsolete.
