Several professors I know publish all their papers on their university/government lab hosted website and have never received any take down notices. When you use Google scholar to search for one of their papers there is a link directly to the pdf hosted by them. Many professors feel that the papers are theirs to redistribute as they wish even if copyright says otherwise. But I do understand why some authors might feel wary of this.

I honestly think it solves a different problem. Apple runs Siri on the biggest mesos cluster in the world (pretty much verbatim quote from MesosCon 2015. I was there). Twitter runs clusters over 10k physical nodes.

Swarm and compose are cute, but they simply aren't made for that kind of massive scale. The inverse of course, is that they are incredibly easy to setup, and they work for a very large number of workloads reasonably well.

I manage mesos clusters as part of $day_job. There is a certain level of setup required and if you don't need the scale, you simply don't need mesos for it. I really see them as complementary in the longer term. Perhaps a swarm mesos framework could be written. It is highly unlikely that Docker will ever do the resource scheduling better than Mesos.
> The American overweight problem is cultural and not an issue with eating high or low glycemic foods like the article states.

Why not both?
I kind of agree, but with all sorts of hesitation. I agree that corporate tax is nearly impossible to police fairly or sanely and that this suggests something is broke deeper down.

OTOH, I don't think you achieve the same result with taxing dividends. First, I assume you mean capital gains or any income from investment. Just like corporation tax, this is full of loopholes, avoidance strategies and illegal but undetected non-payment. The latter moreso.

The crux of the matter is that when you have a greater control over ownership structures and the like, you can work around whatever definitions tax law puts in place.

I suspect that a clean fix of corporate tax, if it can be found at all, will be find in fundamentals of corporate law like the definition of a corporation and its rights. When it comes down to it, the legal entities that make up Google and incur (or don't) tax liabilities are pretty different from the entity in reality. All the transactions, fees and such between those "companies" are a lie.
I see it as more of a security issue.

If your distro is all about security then bundling is really bad and you shouldn't allow it if your distro is about allowing end users to use whatever software they like regardless of how it is packaged then you shouldn't care.

What 27 Twitter Influencers Are Saying about Jack Dorsey

So, what's the solution? There doesn't seem to be a proportionate response that life more difficult for online tormentors. Further, any legal response would be justifiably difficult to reconcile with freedom of speech.

It's just unacceptable in my mind that the current balance of power is so skewed towards people who harass others online.
No, the crux of the problem is your line of thinking. The government cannot and should not replace personal responsibility.

> at larger vector sizes, you spend more time in the embarrassingly-parallelizable kernel

Vectors are only fixed-width, so even though it is an "embarrassingly parallel" problem, you still only expect it to asymptote towards a fixed speedup. Moreover, the bigger the matrix, the more likely you are to see cache size and memory bandwidth effects in your performance numbers, meaning the SIMD could be less of a win in the limit.
There is no guarantee that you can collect tax through dividend and income. Companies don't have to pay dividends (Buffet's Berkshire doesn't pay dividends but is wildly profitable), and there is no way for a country to tax capital gains from a foreign stock holder.

I'm just going to re-reply to this since it's 8 hours later: not one poster in this thread was able to bring up a single shred of evidence that supported the idea Ahmed's treatment was due to his race or religion, or indeed due to anything other than the same nonsense zero-tolerance policies we're all familiar with.

I conclude that this idea exists purely as a media-created fantasy. "Racism exists, therefore that's what happened in this case.".
I think my point is there is no champion at all in this. Whether his story was true or he deliberately did it. In the end both scenarios playing out we as USA still lose. Only one scenario makes us look less bad but bad is still bad.
Save yourself the frustration and go w/ the Surface. I picked up a Yoga 2 last December and wish I had waited a little longer.

Also, I have problems w/ the trackpad reliably registering clicks and taps, and the multi-gesture support leaves a lot to be desired.
> leaving excess sugar that will be converted into fat

De-novo lipogenisis from sugar in practice does not happen humans. If you do something goofy like keep dietary fat under 5 grams and eat hundreds of grams of carbohydrate some monounsaturated fats can be synthesized, but it's fair to say that it basically doesn't happen.

Any fat on your body came directly from fats you ate. Sugar and carbohydrate only matter with regard to weight loss to the extent they displace fat metabolism.

Nothing falsified about his data - just pointing out how its part of a larger campaign by companies like Coke to try and make sugar seem harmless, and lack of exercise the real enemy.

I mean, I could have a diet of pure whiskey for a month and lose weight. Weight loss on its own isn't healthy, especially if its only temporary.

Wow, that's a genius idea, you must be a very smart person. Last week I heard on BBC Click that Google has open-sourced their deep learning algorithm, so now even people like me can code AI apps. It's actually such a good idea that I am going to start working on it right away for my personal usage as a userscript to hide negative comments and keep only the positive ones on sites like HN, because too often people respond to my comments with nothing but disdain despite my honest intellectual efforts.
I somehow felt like the docker team was closer with the Rancher team, so I thought docker might acquire Rancher at some point. I think this is a move to produce revenue in the future while Rancher is yet another open source project to monetize.

The problem is that you remove corporation tax and next thing you know, everybody has a personal "corporation" owning all his belonging, totally untaxed. Something most people do already, btw, because corporation taxes are usually much lower than income ones.

> a person's residency is less ambiguous than a corporation

Lol, the opposite is actually true. A corporation is required to have a legal address, without which it simply doesn't exist; a person can have "no fixed abode" and still exist just fine. In fact, a favourite tax-dodging trick is to be officially registered as living on a boat, or not spending more than a certain amount of time in any country.

> with proper enforcement you will end up in jail for doing it

That's very unlikely, when you directly or indirectly influence most people making the rules... which you always do, if you're rich, regardless of age or country.
> Because it still sounds like he only ate twinkies and lost weight.

The problem is that nobody can seriously eat only twinkies at a caloric deficit indefinitely. He was getting his caloric needs from sugar, and he was avoiding weight gain by undereating. If he kept it up for say, a year, he would have experienced all sorts of nasty symptoms– irritability, etc.

I'd liken it to staying awake for 3 days. Sure, you can do it, but it's not sustainable.
why is that relevant
I'm actually not in the camp which is saying SSH on your phone is a bad idea because the NSA can log into your server. I would actually advocate for using SSH from your phone, instead of this setup. My point is that for all intents and purposes, SSH will work forever. WhatsApp on the other hand, might disappear tomorrow, rendering whatever you built here useless. The crucial point is open vs. closed software and ecosystems. You're putting effort into developing something inside a walled garden which may be shut down tomorrow (or where you get kicked out tomorrow, but the end result is the same).

To manage weight, it doesn't matter. But to manage feelings of hunger, it does.

Every article on fats vs. carbs dilemma stresses out weight management issue, none of them mention any other effects, but weight.
As a skinny guy, what are the dangers of say french fries, honey, and fast food? What about when coupled with active life style and moderate exercise?
Right, but in that case you lose completely the crucial gatekeeping function. Already now arxiv.org is full of papers with glaring technical and conceptual mistakes. Imagine what would happen if submissions to arxiv.org where they way one decides who to promote.

At the cost of being a retrograde, I believe that this sort of things cannot be settled simply "the google way" i.e.
1. Count the citations.
2. Make a list.
3. Profit.

You need to "force" people to review their papers, correct mistakes, and in a sense establish what is worth other people time. Journal editors and reviwers screw up all the time, no doubt, but the burden of proof is on those arguing that "drop it on arxiv, let the review count do the scoring" is a better system.

Also, once you drag the taxpayer in, you have to figure out who polices the archive, least it becomes crackpot central: should they be elected? Should they be appointed? Who should pay them? What about conflicts of interest?
No, everyone hates it. But that is the equilibrium that we're in. Everyone wishes we were in a different equilibrium with open-access online journals, but that's the tricky thing about equilibria -- nobody wants to unilaterally deviate from the status quo.

Some fields (like math) seem to be pulling it off, but it takes a group of leaders in the field to coordinate a change in publishing models.

I also see a lot of people insane amount of salad or organic whatever because they think it will help them lose weight. God forbid if you eat junk food in front of them. You will hear everything wrong about processed junk food.
That, I agree. Progressive taxation is an intractable problem because on one side you want to make the rich pay more, and on the other you don't want to discourage growth or the black economy; but it's a problem that has to be addressed. It's simply not true that Apple and a mom&pop store are the same "concept" under the rule of law, you need arbitrary thresholds to distinguish them, and it's a very imperfect art.

>How do you suggest that you legalize all drugs and then keep people on those drugs from harming others?

The bulk of the societal harm that comes from drug use is in the steps people take to get drugs, not from the actual drug use. Having adverse reactions to drugs can be mitigated by actually knowing what you're taking. And removing the stigma and taking on addiction as a public health issue and not a criminal one is a huge boost to community safety.

>> Perhaps people facing consistent harassment like this should try something similar? Or work under a pseudonym?

Perhaps we need to get rid of pseudonyms. A lot of this behavior would stop if people had to be identifiable. Although that doesn't seem to stop them all - you see some real names and email addresses in there.
The only solution I could think of would be for confirmed cases of online harassment (however you determine something to be confirmed, I don't know) to be sent to the offender's employer, or for something along those lines be a part of background checks/E-Verify.

You're right, it does seem like the status quo heavily favors abusers and maligns the abused. I'm sure there are several flaws with my idea. I just can't think of much else that could change anything without being extraordinarily invasive or punitive.
This seems a bit like wooden tennis rackets a few decades ago, though with a less mainstream sport the rules body may have more pull than manufacturers. But the bottom line is that sports change over time or die. Changes simply mean that a different set of skills come to the fore and others become less valuable.
> Low-fat milk for example is still on sale with health claims, even though it's a well known fact that it's much more unhealthy than normal milk.

I take issue with this claim. Neither is more healthy than the other. Whole milk has a lower glycemic index, and a higher ratio of fat to carbs/protein. But that's not always desirable. For instance, a higher glycemic index is more effective for building muscle (but also fat). So it's really a situation of matching behavior to goals.
I'd posit that a far better way to judge tax contributions would be to compare them to a company's market cap. That's where we'll likely see stark realization that multi-national corporations are living the good life.
This reminds me of the famous quote by Joe Armstrong -- You wanted a banana but what you got was a gorilla holding the banana and the entire jungle.

Most modern software has incredibly complex dependency chains and that's what makes it fragile and unpredictable most of the time. If we focus on making the languages, runtimes and core libraries flexible enough that we don't need to assemble code from dozens of hobbyist GitHub projects to put up an app with a reasonably modern UI, we would make a huge step forward.

My 2 cents is they have kept the marketing centered around a smaller group of people initially with limited mass exposure. I think for the exact reason you listed, while it is a way cool device it is also still finding its feature set.

At the same time, I don't think Amazon is the best at marketing as they have shown in the past with other devices. But I can't blame them with the echo wanting to start slow and gain traction and expand it out.

As to their feature set, I signed up for the dev/api access for it over 6 months ago but still have never heard anything back from Amazon. So if they want people to expand its feature set to make it better it would make sense to approve dev access a bit more timely. I have heard a few others tell me the same thing so I don't think it is just me.

Biopython runs on pypy. It also runs under Jython. While it has C use, it is not "heavy" C use.

Going on a tangent, and though I realize it's a lost battle, I wish people would stop saying that NumPy is the base of scientific programming in Python. As Biopython shows, it isn't required for at least some of bioinformatics.

My own research[1] deals with chemical graphs, and NumPy/SciPy/etc. are nearly irrelevant to that research.

[1] For example, given a set of 100 structures, what is the largest substructure (based on the number of bonds) which is in at least 90 of the structures?
I would agree with what you said, but I would argue that the points you raised still fall into the realm of systems administration.

Identifying scope and purpose, and it's impact and documenting the design are just some of the things an platform operations team is -supposed- to take care of.

I often find myself feeling the same way about using gems in ruby. It's amazing how quickly I can get something extremely functional built out by adding a handful of gems, but after a few months I look back and realize how much extra (invisible) code I've added when I really just needed a tiny sliver of the functionality provided.
Well, best response I've seen to a post like this. The audience you refer to might be best served with a SPARK, Frama-C, etc. implementation decomposed as much as possible with experts doing the DbC annotations or VCC's.

More likely an informal method. In the distant past, my method was to use a language with compile-time macro's to decompose the overall algorithm into simplest functions. In dev mode, I could manually run checks to hopefully ensure my assumptions were correct. Each module was simple enough to extensively test and spot coding defects. If necessary, I could do it at ASM level while wrapping low-level stuff in HLL calls w/ checks. In production mode, it compiled to straight-forward, high-performance, low-level code.

So, two routes with different levels of formality and optimization. The 2nd method is more likely to get adopted. Just not sure how many weird corner cases can be prevented that way.
