I'm sure they attempt to represent the majority, just like ISIS claims to represent all of "true" Islam. But the fact remains that they don't.

Statistics show that most Muslims don't support ISIS: http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2015/11/17/in-nations-w...

Even in Saudi Arabia, support for ISIS isn't universal. According to this ( http://www.washingtoninstitute.org/policy-analysis/view/isis... ) there is only 5% grassroots support for ISIS there. Now, even 5% is certainly worrying, but that's nowhere near universal.

Sorry, I remain unconvinced by your arguments.
I'm confused. Would this mean I could just grab anybody's public key and log in - as them - to a service that supported this?
We are entering an era of cheap launch costs. Duplication of a design costs near-zero, all the price is in the fabrication capacity, the design, the testing, the engineering, keeping a subject-matter-expert control team on standby to make executive decisions for a few hours a month, and the remaining launch costs.

In practice, the Space Shuttle Transportation System, fully ammortized, cost about $1.5B per launch to loft 15 tons to low orbit in practice.

Falcon Heavy will launch about 40 tons for ~$100M, a factor of 40 improvement. The Russian launch vehicle Proton-M was already at about 20 tons for ~$100M, and Atlas V 552 about 20 tons for ~$200M.

they give examples of alcohol in beer and sugar content of foods.

experimental specific:

alcohol lies in the vis spectra near what we would call yellow. beer is often yellow, but not due to its alcohol content. beer is yellow because of the malt used in it's creation. reflective vis. spec. cannot differentiate the two, and would always give a vastly false reading.

practical specific:

Glucose lies in the near ir (and has been known to for a long time), so this device could theoretically be used measure glucose levels in diabetic patients. a potentially multi billion dollar industry. So why would we worry about trivial things like sugar content in food (that could be obtained from reading the food's label), if we could instead be helping millions of people and making tons of money while doing it?

...Simply because it doesn't work well.

Sugar, in wine is often assessed transparently (absorption spectra, as reflectance is quite difficult to get clear signals due to surface shape, and air surface interface on incidence angles etc...) via polarization spectroscopy. there is visible spectroscopy, mass spectroscopy perpetrated spectroscopy... this does one, and in a narrow RF range. And in our studies and research, isolating one spectral signal from another was extremely difficult and required an enormous catalog of known solution variants to build our model.
This doesn't even mention the technological issues of calibrating, and certifying light sources, varying saturation time of your ccd array, warming up a light source (LED is a weak spectroscopy source as it is designed specifically to be narrow band).

these things come out once every few years and almost always fall flat. I'm sure kickstarter is littered with these things.

One use:
Could be used with things that have reagents added to expose the analyte more clearly, and then to assess the degree that analyte presents itself using the before reagent added as a baseline.

I think a workflow where RAW-derived files need to be handed in together with either the RAW or a standardized export from the RAW would be better, but makes for a lot more work, so I see where they are coming from.

It doesn't help much against intentional fraud, but helps against (accidential or not) misrepresentation.

I'd still recommend any professional to take a RAW as well, since it is a more reliable record of you having taken the specific picture and not manipulated it. Most semi-pro/pro cameras can create both files in parallel. The better ones can even write them to separate memory cards, which has multiple advantages:

* writing in parallel reduces the inpact of writing more data if you use combined mode

* helps against failure or loss of one of the cards (e.g. if you have to transport them later, you can transport them in different pieces of luggage etc)

* if someone tries to force you to hand over the memory card to destroy evidence, you have a good chance to just hand over one of them and to keep your images without further confrontation
Only sort of, and only if you have a lot of other people willing to participate with you. If you are just looking to see how money is flowing, you just see the tumble cloud between your collections of interesting source and destination addresses, you are not foiled by it (in the worst case scenario you consider every output address interesting, but then you start paring that down with other information).

I wonder if some of the bitcoin gambling sites have really been operated by people trying to obscure the history of their bitcoin. If they can control how fast their coin moves through the site, they have some more assurance of how many addresses they are mixed with.
I wonder if anyone has run the data using body fat percentage instead of BMI. BMI is a very coarse metric that will sometimes label short and/or muscular people as overweight/obese when they are quite healthy (think football players or weight lifters).

True a million times over. In most contexts, trying to repress your emotions (emotion or expressive suppression) is the most damaging response you can have. It destroys executive performance and cognitive function and chronic suppression is associated with a host of disturbances (especially depression) and is even correlated with suicidal ideation.

This is known in Anglophone countries as "constructive dismissal", and is not a good idea if your area has anything resembling employee rights. It is treated as equivalent to firing someone, but will generally be taken as constituting malice by deliberate creation of a hostile work environment.

Good catch. I live in Berlin and use this sometimes, and I hadn't actually noticed that disclaimer before. (For future reference, it's under "Position der Fahrten" on [1].)

Munich's live S-Bahn map[1] takes a slightly different approach:

Um die Position der S-Bahnen auf der Karte anzuzeigen, werden die Positionsmeldungen der Züge an ausgewählten Signalstandorten erfasst und dazwischen hochgerechnet. Es handelt sich somit derzeit um keine GPS-Ortung.

(from "So funktioniert's" on [2])

So they don't actually use GPS positioning either, but they do interpolate from data that comes from their rail signalling system, which I imagine is a bit more precise than using realtime departures and arrivals in hh:mm.

I really liked this article. My father has been a blue collar worker his entire life and I've considered teaching him how to code in the past to help me on freelance work / side projects.

This really opened my eyes. He spent so much of his time teaching me how to change breaks on a car, change oil, hang drywall in my house, do plumbing, lay brick and pour concrete and any number of things I've done to my house - it's time to circle back and teach him what I do and extend his working career a bit. He's never had a hard time looking for a job; but why wait until he has to.

But I didn't attempt to read the Quran, so that cannot be the basis for your disagreement. I claimed that, since most Muslims aren't raving fanatics attempting to slay the infidel, there must be something more to Islam. I've also shown that people who have read the Quran (like a professor of religious studies who specializes in Islam) think it's open to interpetation.

I also think that understanding a religious book isn't as simple as sitting down one day and reading end to end. It's not just the Quran anyway; there is a huge body of followups that must be read in order to understand it. Some of them contradictory, some open to interpretation, some of varying degrees of reliability.

Have you read them all?

Not sure about that. Just one pound of fat has the caloric value to sustain you for over a day. 10% BF for males (and 15% for females) is low enough that your mother will probably say that you're too thin. So you could go for a week without ingesting any calories for a week if you were to lose 5% BF while you're sick.
I think you're under the assumption that currency conversions are traceable. Once you convert bitcoins to dollars or yuan, your beefy server can't see the remaining transactions.

For example: 20 BTC -> $4000 -> 25000 yuan -> 4 new addresses @ 5, 10, 2, & 8 BTC

The only way to trace these is to compromise the exchange servers, get account information, and subpoena transactions from the banks. Very difficult to do given the international nature of these exchanges and banks.
That's the number one reason I bought one of these HD Homerun cable tuner boxes[1]. Once I have a VLC playlist setup with the stream urls to each channel, switching channels is almost as fast as in the old days of analog cable TVs.

Oh, sure, there's all sorts of useful telemetry coming from the trains and the tracks, even with fixed-block signalling (unless you have a 100-year-old signalling infrastructure ;)). That's pretty much the case of most modern train systems: the driver is there essentially to (re)boot the train computers, push the "doors close" button, and for emergencies. Apart from that, the trains pretty much drive themselves (except when they don't, oh the joys of software).

However, even when the position of the train is known precisely (no need for fancy CTBC, just start counting wheel revolutions from a known starting point and reset any measuring error at the next known-good point, usually a station - which is the basic way the Parisians do it with their driverless metro lines), not every transport agency exposes this sort of raw data to the general public; usually it's watered down to "it's between Station A and Station B, with X seconds of delay."
You seem to be confusing the effort to make a prototype with the effort of scaling to production. Prototyping has smaller costs.
There are studies showing that people taking vitamin supplements are in better health condition than those that don't, even though it has also been shown that taking vitamin supplements doesn't beat placebo. So when looking at people taking vitamin supplements, the studies are biased simply because people taking vitamin supplements are the kind of people more inclined to care about their health in general.

So one has to wonder, for studies making the claim that overweight people are more unhealthy, is it the actual weight and body fat? Or maybe it's something they eat more of, causing organs to malfunction? Or is it that such people tend to care less about their health than other people?

I don't want to defend the claims in this article, as it's a pretty shallow one. But personally I take all nutritional advice with a grain of salt, including the one you've just made. This is because nutritional studies cannot be made double-blind, the study groups cannot be controlled and for any significant conclusion you'd have to do it for a large period of time and it's basically impossible to control the variables.

For example, for us to really measure the effects of being overweight and be correct about it, we'd have to have at least 2 groups with people of similar weights on average. And then you'd have to fatten one group, while feeding the other group a normal calorie intake. But the catch is that you'd have to give them the exact same diet, just different quantities. And you'd have to monitor them all the time, because people tend to lie about their diet. And then you'd have to do this for at least 10 years to produce significant results. And even then you can't be sure about the cause - as maybe there was something in that diet that in larger quantities caused negative or positive health effects. And you can see how such a study would raise ethical questions - I mean you'd have to intentionally cause harm to people.

That said, being overweight is not natural. Plus we know that being overweight is probably a sign for insulin resistance or a malfunctioning pancreas, or in other words type 2 diabetes. Many overweight people are on their way to type 2 diabetes. And that definitely can't be healthy.

So I tend to agree that the article is bullshit. But on the other hand the current practice of reductionist science really needs to stop.

Public key authentication of clients (as opposed to servers), has been part of SSL since v1.0. This is just adding a misdirection, the underlying protocol is the same X.509 we've had since the late 1980s.

The main problems are:

1. Certificate authenticity -- the key has to be added to authorized_keys on the server. This includes certificate revocation and expiration, and re-establishing trust after certificate is lost.

2. Private key management -- how do I migrate keys to a new browser or a new machine? Where are the keys stored anyways? Absolute PITA in every existing implementation.

3. Key generation -- we need some more user-friendly tools if this is to catch up

Body-mass index and mortality among 1.46 million white adults.

With a BMI of 22.5 to 24.9 as the reference category, hazard ratios among women were 1.47 (95 percent confidence interval [CI], 1.33 to 1.62) for a BMI of 15.0 to 18.4; 1.14 (95% CI, 1.07 to 1.22) for a BMI of 18.5 to 19.9; 1.00 (95% CI, 0.96 to 1.04) for a BMI of 20.0 to 22.4; 1.13 (95% CI, 1.09 to 1.17) for a BMI of 25.0 to 29.9; 1.44 (95% CI, 1.38 to 1.50) for a BMI of 30.0 to 34.9; 1.88 (95% CI, 1.77 to 2.00) for a BMI of 35.0 to 39.9; and 2.51 (95% CI, 2.30 to 2.73) for a BMI of 40.0 to 49.9. In general, the hazard ratios for the men were similar.

And the conclusion:

In white adults, overweight and obesity (and possibly underweight) are associated with increased all-cause mortality. All-cause mortality is generally lowest with a BMI of 20.0 to 24.9.

One of the biggest taxes for startups tends to be the employment taxes eg social security and healthcare. That is what most European startups would like to see abolished or capped for startups. All the rest does not really matter.

In Estonia for example there is no corporate income tax for anybody, until you pay out dividends. At the same time, the employment taxes on top of salaries are 33% + there is a 20% personal income tax. That means net salary is just around half of company's cost. The proposal from entrepreneurs has always been to cap the social and healthcare taxes, because there is no good reason why a more educated person should pay more for healthcare and pensions.

I would argue that using a client certificate would be a much more practical way for web authentication. This would eliminate the need to start a SSH session when trying to login.
No, you could just grab anybody's public key to verify their login (when they use their private key).

SSH keys are asymmetric. Think of public keys as locks and private keys as ... well, keys. You hand out copies of the lock but you keep the key to yourself. Anyone can put a lock on a box and know you're the only one who can open it. You tell them what lock to use and then use your key to open it to show them you are who you claim to be.
You mean it would make its price go up, just like with any illegal drug?
