Study finds very high level of salmon fraud in restaurants
Again, a man - and his son - lost 25 years of their lives because he failed to disclose evidence he had. The personal destruction he caused is unfathomable - imagine yourself, after having your spouse killed, thrown in jail for a crime you know you didn't commit, pleading guilty because you were convinced this would be the best for you and your child you'll most likely never see again. This is way beyond unethical.

Correction: it mangles one or two pages in 45% of books it scans.

Prototype 1 could scan the majority of books without
damage, but may tear one or two pages in some books. Out
of 50 books tested, 45% had one or two of their pages
either torn or folded. This is a very early prototype and
there are many areas for improvement in the design.

It certainly is -- it's my fault, I should have phrased it better with that in mind.

Thanks a lot for the thoughtful reply -- wish you the best! As you've put it, it's certainly a journey (no way, don't pick a simpler one!), and it looks like you're ready to be in it for the long haul. 100% agree on your thoughts about success/failure and found your thoughts on smalltalk/education/love interesting.

I have a brother who is trying to learn programming and I wish I could infuse him with the spirit you've learned (I'm sure the hard way) to have. If only there was some way to consistently teach tenacity.

Well said. The most industrious are those who live their lives by some form of checklist, and manage to at least check some of the items off. The only problem I have with checklists are those who obsessively try to achieve each task on the list and presuming each item is somehow not complete unless the others are completed.

On the other hand, many judges are elected so they may worry about how their decisions will look to the public, the public generally hates judges who do not convict (because tv tells them everyone is guilty).

I noticed this about 20 years ago. Campaign ads for judges usually focused on how "tough on crime" they were as opposed to how "fair and trustworthy" they were.

I lost what little respect I had for the legal system when I watched a prosecutor argue that two convicted men should remain in prison and one should remain on death row despite newly discovered exculpatory DNA evidence and new evidence of police and jury misconduct because "The system" needed finality.
There is a non zero chance a police officer will kill 10 million people tomorrow.

While it is none of anyone's business. This was an AMICABLE decision both Jesse and I came to. MA is the girls home. We moved to TX as a thought things could get better, new job that was supposed to give us our life together back. The girls wanted to be home, near family, near friends so they could heal. Jesse saw their pain and mine.. I suppose caring for children and doing what they need is selfish. Then I am very selfish to give my children what they need.

This context-missing statement is the epitome of what Jesse always despised about the internet.

I thoroughly enjoy reading and learning about this sort of physics, but I still very much lack the understanding to discuss it.

So I'll just say that pondering the nature of the universe, that I am just a region of low entropy, that anything I do will have no discernible effect on the universe really makes any problems I have seem like small potatoes!

This being the internet, you don't have to wonder about such things.

Here's a page with a lot of history on several different food topics: http://www.foodtimeline.org/restaurants.html

One interesting tidbit is that oldest dining menu comes from ancient Sumeria. They list a proper meal for the gods. Since the king was considered a living god, this could be considered a menu for the king. (So restaurants likely started off as a formalized meal "ritual" for the king.)

It also says that, broadly, street food can be traced back to military mess units. It's likely that during peacetime, the people who prepared food for military units went on to prepare food for the general public.

I also like to imagine that we have football stadiums now because of the Roman use of the Coliseum for watching live sports thousands of years ago, and the Coliseum was just the largest amphitheater, a structure which the Romans borrowed from the ancient Greeks. This would significantly predate the development of football.
That was kinda my knee jerk reaction too, but thinking about it more it's kinda a neat idea since stuff like this could be used in training and education. Maybe it didn't have to be 9/11 itself but not really sure how I feel about it yet.

Oh, you should be very scared of the police. They have complete power over you, your life, and your property any time you interact with them, even if you do nothing to invite the interaction. If they choose to invade your home, confiscate your cash, or shoot you dead because you didn't respond to their commands fast enough, or slow enough, or deferentially enough, you have no power to respond.
My immediate reaction on seeing this is "You know, 9/11 actually happened and real people died". The Oculus here is giving the possibility of a sort of Disneyland ride experience for 9/11. And that's utterly tasteless.

Of course, this sort of thing is bound to happen as television has already led the way into a decent into utter tastelessness.

The team linked to their LinkedIn profiles and you can see that they roughly seem to have gone to universities in around 2010. Assuming they were 18 when they did that it means they were 9 years old when 9/11 happen IRL. It's probably just another historical event to them.

This is such comic book villainy I just don't believe it happened as described. I wonder how the other side would describe it.
"A Christian Manifesto" by Francis A. Schaeffer gives a reason why.

Our creator inspires freedom and love. When we follow him we seek to spread freedom to not only ourselves but to others as well. A population willingly adopting the new testament Biblical principles will spread freedom willingly.

The humanist world view on the other hand has no moral absolutes and must enforce the popular or elected rules onto the majority by force.

America has been slowly transitioning from a Bible believing nation to a humanist world view. The result is
predictable, the loss of individual freedom and the increase in the use of force to preserve the lack of these freedoms.

A Brief History of the Doctor Who Theme Tune
I'm very interested to see if this type of "narrative learning entertainment" catches on in any meaningful way. I could certainly see a market for "see the events of history through the eyes of someone who was there" as the next big edutainment trend.
No, there isn't such a chance. The only WMDs with the ability to kill tens of thousands are nukes. Terrorists only have nukes on TV, the kind with big countdown displays on them. It's the difference between a black swan and the fantasy of a black swan. The is no real-world hypothesis of how such a black swan happens.

That's why black powder bombs are the highest technology terrorists actually use, because it is the most effective thing they actually can use.

EDIT Before you hypothesize about "stolen nukes" know that it is impossible to move a nuke undetected: http://www.rense.com/general16/nucla.htm

Terrorists and WMDs is fiction. And sometimes fiction is propaganda.
Well that would make him a terrorist. There is a zero chance it would happen from routine police activity.
It was just sorted out. It'll be in the store within minutes apparently.
It's hard to tell from these posts under what circumstances will SIMD vectorization kick in outside of numpy. E.g., will it work for plain old list comprehensions, which are everywhere in my code? That would be awesome.
What on earth would make you say there is no (zero) chance police officers will kill 10 million people tomorrow? There is most certainly a chance. It is likely a very, very small chance, but it is still a non-zero chance.
It is possible terrorists could gain access to nukes. You don't know this for sure.
> "Fertility has fallow to near- or below-replacement rate everywhere in the world"

What do you expect is causing this? Isn't a large part of the reason for this due to changes in society rather than a synchronised biological trend? For example, couples choosing to have children later, if at all.

If the reasons are social rather than biological, then there's no reason why birth rates (I'm using the term birth rates as it's a more general term for what we're considering) can't increase in the future. The view that overpopulation is a non-problem seems to be based on wishful thinking and/or short-sighted analysis.
...and twice as likely to commit suicide, than be killed by anybody.
According to that ruling, the prosecutor's office is not liable, but it doesn't necessarily mean the prosecutor himself is not liable.
It's a zero chance unless those police officers are also terrorists. Like I said in another comment, there is a zero chance it would happen from routine police activity.
Two of the estimates have years associated with them: 1994 and 1999. The survey itself was published in 2013 so didn't have the data available that fivethirtyeight cited. I think it's time for researchers to update their capacity estimates.
People born after 9/11 are just starting to gain their driver's licenses. 9/11 is by any rational definition pretty much "just another historical event" at this point. The fact that it continues to dictate so much of our political landscape to such detriment to so many Americans and world citizens is shameful.

I feel point 2 is a bit misleading. That solar count includes all solar manufacturing jobs. Utility companies don't engage in manufacturing, so the comparison doesn't really seem to have any utility, if you'll pardon the horrible pun.

If you included all coal, natural gas, oil, and other non-renewable equipment manufacturing, I'm positive they'd beat solar by quite a margin.

The website explains to boost ones ride is to apply a multiplier to the price. One might call this a surge.
So I actually don't live in SV, and very much live outside the VC/SV hype train.

What I mean is that you have these options:

- Odesk (yes, it's terrible, but it's an option)

- Remote work (weworkremotely.com)

- Finding a single business in whatever town you're in that has a website, and wants it to be better, and is willing to pay you to do that

Also, when I mentioned doing your own thing, I meant bootstrapping something. Find some inefficiency either you know about, or something someone you know knows about, and charge people to solve it. While creating that service, you can work other jobs to pay bills, but again, the probability that you:

1) Actually make a successful business

2) Gain skills that enable you to remote work/do something else in the field

is wayyyyy higher than just about any other field (right now).

No matter where you are, the cost of starting an internet business is so much lower than a traditional one that even if 9/10 fail it might still be worth it.
What do you think of the practice of ending an interview earlier than scheduled when you're quite sure that the candidate is not a good fit for the position?

The rationale I've heard is that it saves both you and the candidate time.

But in practice, during the times when I've seen it done, the candidate ends up feeling really hurt.

TechSquare Labs launch $25M fund targeting data and device startups
That's completely silly. Yes tail events are important to consider. But major terrorist attack are already events on part of the tail.

All of the successful attacks around the world in the last 15 years probably could have been far more deadly if the terrorists only goal was death count. That's probably not what they're optimizing for, this is framing everything from the victim's point of view. Terrorists can be awful, but they still have motivations and are somewhat rational actors.

I'd be happy to change my view with evidence otherwise, but terrorists are still somewhat "rational actors" with goals that seem horribly irrational to most people. Killing 10 million people in a terrorist attack probably wouldn't serve their long-term goal (even terrorists worry about PR) and would be an incredibly difficult / expensive undertaking.
It also ignores that the probability can change over time. Past frequency is not always a good predictor for future probability.
Show HN: WhatPulse – all you need to know everything about your computing habits
This is exactly it.

9/11 was an extraordinary terrorist event: it killed more people than the previous decade of terrorist attacks worldwide. An attack on the scale of 9/11 is simply impossible in the current security climate.

And "ordinary" terrorist attacks are simply too isolated to ever be a realistic threat to any one person. Even in Israel, where terror attacks are commonplace, the number of civilian deaths is very small relative to the population. Or to put it differently, more people died on 9/11 than have died from terrorism in the entire history of the modern state of Israel.

You're more likely to win the lottery while being struck by lightning than you are to be killed by a terrorist.

No one has moral absolutes, they do not exist except in the minds of those who want to force their morality onto others who don't agree with them. Laws aren't about morals, they're about reason.
Gentoo: My linux educator.

The fact that you needed to make your own kernel and configure a lot of things on your own made me learn a lot about Linux and GNU. Much more than debian or redhat. There is great value in that I think.
Callous? Yes, no? I haven't finished the 3(!) followups to this, so by way of empathizing with your end-result (e.g. just move) with the information I also have I can say "it is not a binary choice".

Factor in the following: my ex and I are still best friends and confidants. As we went through this little slice of hell, what was best for our kids above what was best for us was top of mind.

Now, factor in the following: I've learned - the hard way - that investing yourself into certain things can net you things you didn't have. For example, without dumping all into the community, I wouldn't be where I am in my career, and I would not have discovered things about what I want to do in that career.

Now factor in what I described is the sign of an extremely obsessive, insecure, and potentially depressed personality with no actual definition of "self" outside of community, work, and kids. Literally - now that I've set boundaries I'm busy looking around saying "Uh. Shit. Who am I?"

Now factor in the strict clinical definition of what you go through in a divorce - it's akin to significant loss (e.g a death in the family). You go through (as I am) many stages of that including grief, depression, etc. I'm somewhere in the no man's land without an end in sight just as of yet.

Now factor in the severe anxiety and depression that comes with all of that. Yes - I could quit my job and move just to be near my girls. However not being physically or mentally fit outside of my definition of self in my career I would be throwing myself into a position of not "not moving on my own terms".

Think of it like this: I agreed, with my ex, that this would be the best course of action for now. Just up and moving wouldn't solve the root cause of why we separated, it would just solve one aspect of "me". This would result in a probable mis-directed resentment on my part towards my ex, my children and others.

Therefore, while given the information you gleaned you may be correct albeit callous, you are right that there are many more factors in a situation like this to be taken into account.

Net-net - mental health is hard. Recovery is hard - you can't tell a depressed person to "just don't be sad" and you can tell a person with an addiction (such as I've gone through) to just "give it up" without a goal, or a process by which to solve the root cause.

I believe you have replied to the wrong news post. Were you referring to the one about uBlock Origin being denied on the Chrome Web Store by chance?
Ha, I should have thought to dive a bit deeper. I think the thought still makes sense though - I was just using football as an example, it can be extended to why did the Greeks build amphitheaters in the first place. It's not like one day they decided 'huge audiences must be great' - it must have started with smaller audiences and iterated into the big structures designed to hold larger audiences.

My point was we seem to be starting this iteration from scratch for a quite a few things.
Dodges the issue entirely. Police kill people in a non-black swan fashion anyway, because their flaws are systemic. We can actually fix the flaws that the cops have.

Terrorists are working as intended, not killing millions of people here but instead squabbling over dirt in a destabilized wasteland while the Russians explode them.
