Let's try to find some science. They (he?) tried this on mice and fruit flies. re this experiments published? The life length of them is short, so all the claims of "preventing aging" can be tested in a short time.
Not that I disagree with you, but literally everyone in that list did share information with the CIA.
Maybe it seems simplistic, but frankly that is how the world goes round. A person breaks a law and is held accountable. The article suggests Governor Chafee's reaction that, despite the breaking of a major law, Snowden should just come home free, unconditionally, is somehow the correct approach. That, to me, seems both overly simplistic and unrealistic. Clinton properly acknowledges that a law was broken and you can't just casually dismiss that. That seems much more responsible to me. Now, if a president were to later pardon Snowden, that is also allowable by law.
Can you explain in more detail how the banner printer can be made that fast?

Do you think one reason is because in laser printer, the moving part is the laser beam which can move very fast, while in inkjet it is the much bulkier printhead? If this is the case then there would be the physical upper limit on how fast can a printhead be moved, vs a laser beam?

I don't even bother upgrading Windows on laptops. It's better to wait until all of the drivers are fully supported by the manufacturer then do a clean install. I don't know what Microsoft is thinking. Laptops are incredibly fragile from a driver perspective because of all the non-standard and model specific things they do.
And to combine that with an upper middle class background (like Zuckerberg)
Yep.

We have lost half a generation to Starbucks jobs, and people know that they are lost. It's ruining their mental health, and not building any kind of economic health. I don't blame the helicopter parents for this, though.
While that's true for simple conductive cables that's not the case for semi-conductors.

Especially since there are some semi-conductors which actually require you to move electrons, like e.g. flash memory ;)
Enterprise version, actually. Pro still pushes the upgrade.
Between the royals and the unelected hereditary lords in parliament we have a serious problem with subserviency even before you get to elected MPs. It's mindboggling that it's not been sorted out yet.
>P2P share windows updates with any windows computer on the internet

I'm not sure that concerns me since they're doing signature verification on the data before doing anything with it.
should have never been a male/female differentiator.

Sorry, you'll have to take up that one with the big guy upstairs. The truth is, if you cry, women will be less attracted to you. They will think you are nice and sweet and they will laud your ability to show your emotions. But they will not want to f--k you. Women are attracted to strength and command.

Crying is in fact a symptom of weakness. Your brain only sends you the crying signal for things that are outside your control - a death, a failed harvest, getting fired, getting dumped, etc. Crying is the programmed tactic for woman and children who can only get what they want by convincing someone stronger than them to help them out.

I agree that TV/Movies are a terrible way to learn how to be a man. The worst for me were the sweet-nerd-guy-gets-the-hot-girl-by-being-sweet movies of the 90's (Can't Hardly Wait, Ten Things I Hate About You, etc). That never happens in real life and messed me up. The genetics of attraction have not changed in the past few hundred years, so it makes no sense to keep changing the messaging.
It's pseudo-random though, right?

When are you talking about? If it's Obama's first term, "complete" control would be a bit off – only 56 Dems in the Senate, and two left-leaning independents. Some aisle-crossing Republicans were needed for major legislation to pass.

And major legislation certainly did pass:

- Obamacare

- American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (the stimulus package)

- Dodd-Frank

- Fair Sentencing Act

- Repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell

- Lily Ledbetter Fair Pay Act

I think context matters alot as well. Who,Where etc matters quite a bit. I remember when one of my old supervisors was laid off, he just broke down and wept.He was 50+ and just a family guy. The secretaries were gossiping about how weak and unmanly he was for weeks. I have a tough time believing the tolerance for crying and other behaviors is the same for celebrities and rich people vs normal people in the grind.
So if I need to print B/W document, either can do the job but which one should I use? Laser one, because it's faster? Or inkjet one because if the document is 1 page only then the inkjet can be faster because there's no warm-up time as in laser?
Congratulations on overcoming your problem.
Statistics: How many would you check?
Seriously. The amount of "2+2=5" type writing in the New York Times is truly incredible.
Yes, that's been the case since the predominant alma mater of Hacker News became either Wikipedia State or Reddit University. It's no longer a place for discourse, but instead for people trying to get internet points based on falling back to general, unoffensive platitudes.
Security-only updates can be installed manually, after careful review.
Every 5 or 10 years there is a big study that gives rise to a health fad: antioxidants, low fat, high fat, low carb, no carb, complex carbs, red wine, ...

These are then almost predictably found to either be bunk or gross oversimplification 5 or 10 years later.

You would think the scientific and medical establishment would realize after a while that there must be something deeply wrong with their whole approach to these studies and their interpretation, but no. The next one is always a breakthrough and around the circle we go. Or are there industries making big bucks on pimping this stuff?
Not only is there an issue of the user interface changing significantly, but there are also driver issues when manufacturers are slow to release updated drivers (big problems for older devices). Anecdotal, but I have heard many people complain of increased blue screens.
Then I'll answer since apparently it's personal :)

I do believe that men and women should be treated with equal respects (when they deserve it), and have equal rights (which is already the case in Western countries). I don't agree that this should be called "feminism", but english is not my native language so maybe I'm more sensitive to how "feminism" sounds and how obvious it is that it is geared towards women, as opposed to "equalism" for example.

However, feminism (since that's how we'll call it) nowadays has nothing to do with that. Feminism is now, at least for me, associated with laws like "yes means yes", kangaroo courts, "mansplaining", "manspreading", etc. And I do believe that this wave does hurt women. First, it spreads the myth that women can "have it all" (and just to be clear, it is a myth for men as well, nobody can have it all, life is made of choices) which in the end makes everyone unhappy, second it infantilizes women by constantly presenting them as victims who have no control and no responsibilities.
But what about fabric softener, sugar and lipstick? Without slaughtering thousands of animals per second... I feel like we could create a shortage of these everyday items... ha... I can't even continue this rant.
I think you're missing the point of concern here. That would be one, but let's just hope that Microsoft is smart enough to validate the data gotten from P2P updates.

That still brings up the issue that Microsoft is leveraging my broadband connection, my power and my computer(s) that I pay for to issue updates to their customers without even asking. That's not ok.
I wonder if this is why fasting may be healthy: it flushes marginal cells.
I don't even know what "your question" you're referring to is, much less where to find it in the Go FAQ.

That was an odd list. Maybe it was sarcastic as others have pointed out? He first lists that the modern man sleeps on the side of the bed nearest the door so that he can try to fight off intruders. Then later on he says he has absolutely no use for a gun and never will. I hope that intruder he's fighting isn't armed or a lot bigger/stronger/better-at-fighting than he is.

He also knows which women's shoe brands run small and large? How often is he buying his wife shoes?
Frequent = a test every ten years in internal medicine and some continuing education/maintenance of certification. Even that is under attack (http://knowledgeplus.nejm.org/abim-moc-petition-reveals-deba...).

Doctors are human and some are constantly learning new information while others aren't. There are a lot of pressures on them that are perhaps orthogonal to "learning new things" and "keeping up with the best evidence."
7 minute beer app
New US law requiring registration for all drone owners
You can see it at funerals. I have been to funerals in Eastern Europe and people are not afraid to cry, some would wail and cry in a way that would disturb the sensiblities of many in US.

In US everythig is sterile and constrained. I remember one man started crying loudly and everyone after was making comments about him afterwards "Oh was he on drugs, what was wrong with him". It was so unusual to them that they assume his mind of altered somehow. That was so disturbing to hear for me. But it is a stereotypical example if you wish.

I also somehow I found issues related to a person's passing linger longer in US on average (just from observing relatives on both sides), grief gets "bottled up", and then has longer term effects.
Indeed. And this ties to his first point which is that the playing field is far from level so it's not as if those crafty beers are competing on flavor. In many cases that's all one can get, or at least they've set the true craft beers up to fail - e.g. there's a lot of money involved in where on a shelf a particular beer winds up and that affects purchasing.

There are many people out there who have heard about the craft beer revolution, don't know any better and will grab the first thing they see. Sure, if they like the product that's AOK. But the effect is that would have been money going to one of the smaller breweries. What do we think will happen once those breweries are extinguished?
I sincerely hope that article is sarcastic.

It reminds me of this:

A list of contradicting expectations of ridiculous perfection that men are supposed to be.
Why does the United States constitution grant the president the power to grant pardons and reprieves? I'd argue that it's for cases exactly like this one. Where someone indeed broke the law, but did the right thing in doing so. We want people to do what is right, not shake our heads tragically and say that the law is the law, and must be followed blindly even if it means punishing a hero for his heroic deeds.

I'd further say that it's the responsibility of the president to use his or her constitutionally granted powers for this purpose, and say that a president that refuses to use the powers of the presidency for the purpose they were intended for is a simply bad at the job of being president.
Congratulations - and any tips on staying out the way, gratefully received :-(
>The worst for me were the sweet-nerd-guy-gets-the-hot-girl-by-being-sweet movies of the 90's

I thought those movies were "sweet nerd girl gets the hot guy by being secretly hot"?

You seem to have some very absolute beliefs (eg. Women are attracted to strength and command; crying is in fact a symptom of weakness, etc. etc). How do you justify them?
Convince Snowden that he will get a fair trial and see if he'll return and face it.

I think you'll have quite a task convincing anyone though that Snowden would get a fair trial. If you can't guarantee a fair trial, then you can't expect people to submit to one.
Mildly impressive in the spectrum of potential jobs, not just jobs at Goldman. Plenty of folks in the SSG leave to jobs one-off kids go to immediately after undergrad. This, of course, is all a function of your perception of the prestige of buy-side vs. sell-side (more aptly, how rarified does your position in the sell-side now have to be to get into decidedly less rarified fields in the buy-side).

You should also be cognizant of the makeup of the SSG and how it's needing to, unfortunately, evolve. It's far from a homogeneous group. The trading arm has needed to be completely restructured after Volcker came into full effect in July. Trading distressed debt is hard enough when you can take quasi-prop positions, now it's a fundamentally different business and many top traders have fled to the buy-side. I believe the only area that's truly insulated and routinely profitable is MSI, which, yes, I'd be inclined to suggest is a prestigious role. However, that's a small segment of the SSG.

I'd reverse your final sentiment. In my experience, the merits of those in the SSG are usually top notch (just pick the best of the S&T/IB pool), the prestige is debatably if your broaden the discussion. One of the best young members of the SSG just left to go back to school to learn how to code.

Also note that by context for impressiveness in the OP was, for example, to go work at a hedge fund in Mayfair right out of Oxford (perhaps, for example, at Chris Rokos' new fund as he's a maths Oxford alum).
No problem with having a dozen unregistered guns but one drone and you'll be in trouble.

I wonder if quadcopters will be grandfathered before the law starts.
I've been very happy with Windows 10, it has completely revitalised some 9 year old hardware I still have. But I've been very lucky, I can't expect manufacturers to keep writing drivers for free for a decade. Seems that if Microsoft wants to keep consumers upgrading, they also need to continue driver compatibility so the old hardware still runs.
I didn't say that we need to move electrons (although we do for some things like Flash Memory), but you are confusing simple wave propagation in conductors with electron mobility in semiconductors which is quite a bit more complicated.

You also need to remember that when we talking about waves then the wavelength ties directly to your data throughput, and with electrons the wavelength in conductors at say a frequency of 1GHZ is still around 3 kilometers, visible light has much much shorter wavelengths which allows you to pass more data per given amount of time.
You're funding their bullshit, and therefore enabling it.
IANAL, but copyright governs redistribution of content not consumption (That's what pirates get busted for). I aslo recall that there was a ruling that footer TOSs aren't enforceable unless the user actively and explicitly agrees to them.

I agree with the GP in that public content is fair game. How do you thing google works?
The total of fines Microsoft has already faced from the European Commission is €2bn. It's mostly for forgetting to give the browser choice in Vista, if I remember well, after doing it properly in XP, and for not publishing the documentation of an API. On the other hand, given automatic upgrades are now a habit, and given Microsoft's monopoly is on a very narrower market (so, not sure it's a monopoly), I'm not sure they can be pursued, if the story is confirmed. Unless we also pursue Chrome's automatic updates.
But does not that mean that prime minister must also be a member of parliament, so at least people in one district voted for her or him? It is not the same as whole populace of UK votes directly for Pam, but still.
Ah yes, the flat tax. The thing talked about on AM conservative talk radio all the time.

Flat taxes like sales taxes are regressive and hurt the poor. Take for example Mississippi which has sales taxes on food. Disgusting.
The article didn't make it clear whether these were part of the wholesale leaks, or directly traded by Snowden. The implications would differ depending on how they were transmitted. What's more is that the operation involves a clear cut act of economic warfare that ensnares U.S. allies as collateral, so it's not like this is an open and shut case in favor of the NSA. It's quite ethically ambiguous.

I also don't see how "but Binney said" is remotely persuasive. Binney himself was the advocate of a bulk collection and analysis system named ThinThread, this aside from the generally dubious nature of arguments from authority.
What health problems did you cure by doing online research, without medication?
A self-correcting problem, since the next generation of kids will be left to fend for themselves by their helpless, helicoptered parents. :)

A thousand times this.
There is also a growing body of research[0] that shows that social media make you feel worse cause you are exposed to a selection of what's good in other people's life. I suspect the same often applies to TV.

[0] which I have not read further than the news reports, so might be total bullshit, caveat emptor, but I am inclined to believe it based on my anecdotal experience.
I run Windows 8 inside Virtual Box but the Windows 10 upgrade won't install due to a graphics driver issue. Hoping that is fixed so I don't get left out in the cold.
Conflating one spectacular success with all [Harvard] dropouts is a silly comparison.

Github has an option "Don't show my email address"
I'm glad I waited. Perhaps I am one of the few who is ..ok with using Windows 8. I don't feel the need to upgrade, and I'm deeply hesitant to upgrade for fear of something like this. I am taking risks with security, but it's either this or go Linux; I'm terrible with the command line.
Is it? We know of two notably successful Harvard dropouts: Zuckerberg and Gates. While their success most likely hasn't been anywhere near as spectacular, I'm willing to bet you know dozens of successful people who graduated from state & small private universities.

Margin of error: go to Stanford, make the right connections, become a billionaire in 8 years versus go to a state school and work for the billionaires while making 1/5000th to 1/150000th as much as they do, yet you're doing all the work that makes them richer.

Even power users are still vulnerable to exploits that are executed by a site you're visiting or image/video you're viewing. And exploits that take advantage of privilege escalation don't just protect multi-user systems, they protect you if you're running as a limited user or if you're using UAC. It's a scary world out there for everyone, even if you don't run plugins in your browsers.
I think that deserves a Citation Needed, seeing as how I don't remember that, and to double check on the putative effect, I drilled down in Wikipedia's list of 15 major enacted laws for 2009 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/111th_United_States_Congress#E...) and found that 8 were passed with large bipartisan majorities in both houses, 2 with large Senate bipartisan majorities.

He's not really talking about mortal survival but social/career success, the consequences of error meaning you don't get to climb as high.
Their plan is to buy craft beers as they start getting popular. The idea is not to kill the idea of craft beer, but to use craft breweries as outsourced R&D. They're going to muscle into whatever markets they can. So you might find your beer gardens suddenly getting "sponsored" by Budweiser.

The situation reminds me a lot of the current tech climate, where the startup ecosystem serves as outsourced R&D to the big tech companies. Google / Microsoft don't want to kill startups, they want to put them in their place.

Anyone else go into a Costco and then try to pay only to be hit with the Amex deal, and say no thanks? I wouldn't mind having a Costco membership, but the Amex thing really rubbed the wrong way, so I never bothered to get a membership.
It's even worse for some enterprise with VL agreements like us. We have a 1 year window to get everyone on windows 10 from the release date.

Needless to say a few macs and centos boxes have made an appearance and everyone suddenly knows python.

Yeah, there was a time when parents didn't even necessarily default to liking their children. Children were just additional labor for the family business, not the parent's hopes and dreams and failed aspirations and regrets walking around outside their body.
Interesting, but do you have any evidence that fasting is healthy?
> #1. Create your own quasi-craft brands.

I would go as far as call it false advertising. Especially when 10 brands are created that actually contain the same product.

Even more, the mere fact that this merger is sought after shows that there is actually need to divide both companies.
You're confusing redistribution with scraping. Scraping publicly-accessible content is legal. Redistributing it is not (at least not in the US).

Google scraps webpages as a core competency.
Both also had very upper middle/upper class backgrounds.
From a security standpoint advanced users are the worst. Most think they know how to protect their PC and they can handle the typical malware exploit. Then they get completely taken because some productivity tool they downloaded from the Internet gets hijacked (no code signing, no verification, no identification of the author). And these idiots want to run in privileged mode all the time.

Could you imagine the outcry from Linux users if someone wanted to run as root all the time? Hell no!

When I switched from programmer to admin I was basically handed binders of various laws (US, UK, EU
primarily) on data security and the penalties when you screw up. Now I sit at the other side of the table and inform developers what they can and can't do with user data. I've never had to walk into the bosses office and say we have to call the police, someone has walked off with our users PIDs.

I thought those movies were "sweet nerd girl gets the hot guy by being secretly hot"?

There were those too, there were both types of movies.

You seem to have some very absolute beliefs (eg. Women are attracted to strength and command; crying is in fact a symtom of weakness, etc. etc). How do you justify them?

A bunch of life experience; trading stories and confessions with male and female friends over drinks; reading lots of books, ranging from bios and famous literature to books by dating coaches to books on the science of genes and evolution. My statements were slightly blunt and simplified. But I think that as broad generalizations, they are pretty bloody obvious if you just pay attention in life.
I thought the same thing I mean... IS that really him? It looks - pardon the phrase - photoshopped. Like someone pasted a smudged face on to another body. The figure on the right is so clear, and yet the one on the left looks like a deformity. I would love to read more about the analysis done to verify this.
