> Why aren't we as interested in getting, say, more men into nursing

I take it from this comment that you don't work in nursing or know anyone who does. There is an active movement to get more men into nursing, though I don't follow nursing statistics closely enough to characterize its success.

Here is a good litmus test if someone is hurting the society with the participation in said society - they have seriously written or said the phrase - "I support free speech, but ..."

I hear that phrase more on the left lately than right. Which says a lot ...
Not entirely sure what he would have expected to happen. One of the first things you learn about racism when you start to study it is that, when you live in a racist world, you have to be taught not to be racist or you'll pick it up by osmosis. Should it really come as a surprise that rural areas are dominated by people who choose bigotry first and understanding never? Maybe he had the belief, not my home town!, but this is an awful way to have your bubble burst.

I guess he thinks he's doing his part to make the world a less racist place, but honestly I don't think these kinds of tactics are effective. Even if they were, you make changes in the world by scaling your efforts. Things that are scalable: Discussion groups, awareness campaigns, get-out-the-vote movements. Things that are not scalable: pranks, violence, other kinds of childishness.

He got his fifteen minutes, and stuck to his guns, sure. But a year from now nobody's going to remember him except for the enemies he made.

Essentially, there's a public DNS A record that maps a Dell subdomain to your local machine's IP, namely localhost.dell.com to 127.0.0.1

An attacker who can either abuse an already running local webserver (like Apache configured to listen to *:80) or start up a locally running webserver (using something like python's SimpleHTTPServer) can serve their content under a Dell subdomain.

This requires some sort of local filesystem privileges or potentially RCE, but if the original commenter is correct, this can be pivoted to SYSTEM RCE.
Very cool! There's a slight difference in the replacement strategy, though: the narrator said that this one places the most recently zarked things on the top.

interesting. i was thinking about that quote before reading the article, and did not realize it was incorrect.

how inportant was/is a switching supply, and was incorporating it really as simple as copying a well-known design?

also, i think that in this case Job's has to characterized as ignorant or a liar.

he almost had no idea how power supplies work and this "invention" gave him the ability to credit someone other than woz for the Apple II success. which is how i read this qoute, as jobs usually didn't publicly praise people without a motive.

or.

he did realize how this work and lied to rewrite the books on what company made this contribution. i think it was a bit of both, but the ignorance allows one to attribute some of the mischarachterizations to lack of info rather than simple disingenuousness.
Uncovering security practices by reverse engineering apps and games
Structured journalism puts consumers in control of news
This is perceptive. As a society we must tolerate a diversity of opinions. Everything must be open to question and debate. But after questioning and debate, there must be a final disposition that lets us move on to other challenges. How we reached that disposition should be so clear that it invites renewed debate only in circumstances where new insights have been made.

I feel like we already use this pattern in a variety of settings. The legal system comes to mind, where we build this collective body of decisions that either prove useful and are built on, or modified and removed if not. But there is not a sense of anything being "inappropriate" to question. The very core of the legal system is challenged on a regular basis and we don't feel the need to censor those who challenge it. We have a general level of confidence that the system has checks and balances that let justice prevail.

Two observations. One is that this reminds me of eventually consistent systems. The law lags slightly behind reality but we know it catches up eventually. Reality is always changing and so we don't expect the law to always be up to the minute perfect. Perhaps we can embrace this notion of imperfection as a reason to keep discourse constantly open.

Second is that the law is effectively the source code for running society. It has procedures set up around it very similar to how we'd run a successful open source project. Integrators, reviewers, unit testers, engineers, project managers, pull requests …

Perhaps in the case of Yale and other institutions, what is needed is the same level of transparency we have in a well run source repo or legal system.

1) everything is written down somewhere, is properly attributed, and openly discussed.
2) systems are in place to propose changes, understand the impact of those changes, and integrate or reject those changes.
3) there is an understanding that this is an evolving system, it has a past, present, and a future.
4) history is recorded so that present and future discussions can be made with the appropriate context in place.

I feel like this is the solution for incorporating dissenting views, converging on the set of beliefs that identify the underlying priorities and preferences of the participants, and making it clear why certain things are the way they are.

It is entirely possible that institutions may converge around policies that are abhorrent to some, but being clear and transparent about that at least makes people know what they're getting in to. It's possible that a system like this at Yale would result in some students or faculty deciding that their views would not be welcome there, which is better than discovering that after the fact.
Web authentication using SSH keys and Go
I was the only kid at my school who was interested in computers and was actively bullied because of it, I will never understand this narrative of privilege and encouragement, it really doesn't fit with my experiences or the experiences of my peers.
Yeah, I recently interned in Seattle and the housing was really high. My housing stipend covered it, and I was renting a short term furnished apartment. But my single bed in a four bunk bed room was more expensive than my one bedroom apartment in a midwest college town.
I'm surprised more wasn't said on the history of the disease. Hippocrates actually first recoreded it, and Freud's very first patient in 1880, Anna O., had it (she was partially blind/deaf and paralyzed) and she eventually recovered. Then it was known as hysteria, and today it's categorized as a form of somatoform disorder. It used to be quite common, and may still be, although there is some controversy in this regard (1a).

There's little that can be said about this particular case, because so few details are included - other than that it's no surprise that it co-occurred with DID, for discrete mental illnesses rarely exist in the wild. They almost always come in bunches.

Predisposing factors for somataform include alexithymia and childhood trauma (1b) and it often co-occurs with anxiety and/or depression. Alexithymia (a little known condition involving a severe deficit in awareness of emotion and the body, and a focus on the external world) is usually a key factor in the etiology of the disease.

"Individuals with alexithymia tend to demonstrate an impoverished fantasy life and limited imagination, a diminished capacity for empathy, a penchant for impulsive behavior, and a propensity to experience emotions somatically" (2). The deficit in emotional processing is usually (at least originally) the result of a conscious effort to suppress/distract from unpleasant emotions (like this lady's trauma), which then express themselves in the body. Indeed, alexithymia-like symptoms are a common feature in a number of common mental illnesses such as depression, anxiety and panic disorder (3), and the more alexithyia-like characteristics these patients have, the worse their somatic symptoms (4).

Treatment of the disease is difficult because despite its psychological etiology, patients usually present well and emphatically deny that their psychology has anything to do with their symptoms (5). Interestingly, emerging findings on it tend to revolve around some of Freud's original ideas (6).

>> How many estranged spouses have you heard describing their ex as "(s)he wasn't the person I though (s)he was"?

But that's just a metaphor. In this case, he was literally not the person she thought he was.
Just to clarify, you work for the Montana Standard?
Temporal was referencing what's remembered as the Whale Cancer post [0]. The metaphor is meant to (rather than insult) describe a social dynamic by analogy of a biological mechanism.

Except, you actually don’t. You are always free to move to a country with a lower (or a higher) tax rate, for whatever reason.

If someone wants to go live in Monaco, and not pay anything, that’s his/her right. There is never a debt, in the true sense of the word.
If this topic interests you, I highly recommend "MP3: The Meaning of a Format" by Jonathan Sterne as well as his previous work, "The Audible Past: Cultural Origins of Sound Reproduction." The former does a pretty good job of explaining the basics of the MP3 format and gives insights into how it has influenced the production of sound recordings.

I'd still think the judge can and should be able to use discretion and allow concurrent sentences.

Maybe the judge decided in this case that the sentences should not be concurrent. We don't know what judge had in their mind.

I hate to go all PC (I swear I am not one of them) but I wonder whether mandatory sentencing isn't all bad. Perhaps mandatory sentencing is the most effective way to bring down sentencing rules and guidelines to make them more humane.

This is getting a little off-topic but I don't have much sympathy for violent offenders (I'll lower the bar to those who actually commit battery or robbery as opposed to a threat). As far as non-violent crimes, especially victim less*, crimes go there should really be no jail time at all.

I don't have all the answers but I think we really ought to limit our criminal justice system. Specifically (sorry for going off topic) copyright and such topics should not belong to the criminal justice system. Let those be civil lawsuits between two private entities.
The article is there as a background to the video, which is all first person. The heading shows the filmmakers behind it, another clue that the video is the subject of the title.
So, if I see this correctly, these components save their state in a global object, and that is supposed to persist state on re-renders? I get how this can be considered somewhat 'dirty', but can you elaborate on the performance implications?

This isn't an inherently bad idea – it works to provide critical drivers which you might need to get online, for example – but it really underscores how much depends on the OEM being more diligent than they've been in the past.
It indicates that both the governments and the industry have dropped the ball on enforcing the law against small companies. When you look at what this guy is doing with the Apple-compatible power supplies and cables, or the Google reviews of USB-C cables on Amazon, it shows the sorry state we're in.

One of the major advantages of EU/US markets is that laws are enforced. This allows you to compete on fair terms. In theory, the products should be recalled, the companies that import them fined, and their principals either fined, barred from directing a company, or criminally prosecuted. But does that ever happen? When laws are not enforced, law-breakers will be able to undercut you, and drive you from the market. Which is exactly what has happened here.
Aurelia at work and for personal projects I use virtual-dom (https://github.com/Matt-Esch/virtual-dom). There are plenty of (IMO) better view libraries out there that can be nicely paired with Redux, so naturally it's upsetting to see libraries with "redux" in the title that also have a hard React dependency. It's also upsetting that I'm getting down-voted for having this opinion.
You completely misunderstand what I am saying.

1. I care about people, and believe that they have unlimited potential. If anything, this fundamental belief is the core of all of my interactions with my students.

2. I do not believe in bias against someone else because of something they cannot control. We call that discrimination.

3. What, then, do we call bias in favor of someone, also because of something they cannot control? By definition, it is equally a bias against everyone else who does not have that same attribute (again, something that they cannot control). Therefore, it, too, is discrimination.

4. I abhor discrimination, because it invalidates the accomplishments of everyone involved. This is true both those whose achievements were marginalized by the discrimination, as well as those whose achievements were enhanced by it.

5. I do not argue that people come from unequal backgrounds. What I am arguing, however, is that CS is the equalizer, based on your accomplishments, and your accomplishments ARE NOT limited by your starting position. This is true regardless of gender, race, sexuality, disability, or familial history.

6. Any single-issue outreach (like gender) is insulting, in that it ignores the rest of the person. It reduces them to a number as it relates to that issue. It is demeaning to the individual, and I refuse to participate in it. It is not just that I dislike it, but that I fundamentally disagree with the nature of its being.

When I praise my students, it is because they earned it and they deserve it. If I were to suggest that perhaps CS is not right for them (which I have never done to any of the ~200 students that I have taught), it would also be because that was the right advice for that individual.

This is why I disagree with these types of conferences. And yet, still, I am perceived as the bad guy...

I think you mean "freeloader".
Well, you're only building raw HTML for your lower-level components (in JSX or in Javascript). The difference with standard templating is that this considerably more composable. In this regard, it's not very different from custom directives in Angular (from what I can see, I don't do Angular). And from my point of view, having this mix is much preferable to the traditional HTML templating + jQuery soup.

You can't escape the fact that any non-trivial rendering needs some logic. If you don't let yourself get carried away, you get the exact amount of logic you need for your component in a reusable package. As someone currently porting a codebase from the dark ages of the web to React, I have difficulty expressing how nice that feels.
I'm in serious trouble.
That statement is no more ridiculous than calling femininity bullshit, why are you so hateful.
I cannot imagine a scenario under which this code is impossible to write, but take a few layers of bureaucracy and very few people who actually dare toy with a fragile system, and you have all sorts of impossible-to-fix problems.

I remember one programmer that worked for a fairly popular newspaper telling me it was "simply impossible" to change the color of their navbar. They were on wordpress.

The news business doesn't think about their CMS that much; it's just a box for them to type into most of the time.
Of course, the cost of duty is ultimately offloaded to the same citizens you're supposed to be protecting.

Not to mention, the elephant in the room here is that no evasion is being performed, but avoidance. To equivocate the two would create a moral hazard that would also affect the same citizens you're supposed to be protecting.
>Edit: Also, almost all of the censorship calls and nasty behavior / comments came from students on the left. Vox's "I'm a liberal professor, and my liberal students terrify me" (http://www.vox.com/2015/6/3/8706323/college-professor-afraid) is congruent with my experiences.

I've read that article. At least in the article, the only student ever to actually cause trouble in-class was right-wing, and accused the professor of being a Communist because he doesn't blame the 2008 Global Financial Crisis on black people taking mortgages they couldn't pay. The professor's administration also knew this charge of Communism was utter bullshit.

That doesn't sound to me like the problem is a left-wing regime of censorship and extremism.
Actually, I think we do have enough information to know. Read it again, paying attention to the dates and ages. The shop lifting offense occurred 8 years before the attempted murder. Tacking an extra 8 months onto a 44 year sentence, for a minor crime committed 8 years earlier is just vindictive.
Sure, it's unfair. But your argument for loosening regulations can't just be "It's too hard for small businesses." I'm sure things like health and safety violations are a burden for small businesses, but they don't get to opt out because solely because they are small.

If you can make the argument that specific regulations offer no benefit other than to protect larger businesses that's one thing. But "It's hard" isn't convincing enough to me.
No problem with urination, just pawing / chewing. I should try the eucalyptus oil.
Ehh.. no. You must have misunderstood me. Or I'm misunderstanding you.
Sure. I'm not sure how that addresses the topic at hand, though. We were talking about what drives these kids to behave in the way they do. The GP described their ideology as elitist, whereas I view it more as vanguardist. I'm not sure how these kids' privilege relates to that discussion.
very important comment. Should get more notice.
You're missing the thrust of the argument entirely.

The author does not advocate validating factually invalid statements - see his anecdote in the second article linked in GP regarding "whether or not the economic collapse was caused by poor black people":

"I gave a quick response about how most experts would disagree with that assumption, that it was actually an oversimplification, and pretty dishonest, and isn't it good that someone made the video we just watched to try to clear things up? And, hey, let's talk about whether that was effective, okay? If you don't think it was, how could it have been?"

In other words - in the case of "bunk" it can be summarily dismissed with a proper basis. Which is entirely different from vilifying and personally attacking a person for their beliefs or thoughts which are doing no actual harm to anyone else. People can have bogus ideas and those bogus ideas can be completely harmless no matter how much you might find them distasteful.

Viewpoint diversity is entirely about bringing different perspectives and experiences to bear on a subject.

It works in the hard sciences: https://www.quantamagazine.org/20151124-kadison-singer-math-...

Why shouldn't it similarly be applied in areas of morality, ethics, social science, etc?
Then why not call the project redux-simple-react-router or something to that effect, given that it's written for an agnostic library but has a hard dependency on a third library? It's easy to get caught up in one's own bubble but you should be aware that there are plenty of people out there who don't use React but like some of the libraries and patterns that came out of that community.
I have been curious since I saw this. Does batterybox really works? And if it does then why aren't any big player licensing the tech.

How can it bypass the charging and directly power the laptop using the same connector?
I can.

It's really simple too.

All you need to do is use a software package like wordpress and not employ any actual developers. CMS packages nowadays allow even large operations to run entirely on point-and-click configuration; but the kind of special case they're being asked for here would very likely require a programmer to actually write code. Note how the quoted person says "content-management software experts" and "configuration", not "developers" and "feature".

Welcome to software in the new millenium.
> Owning slaves obviously doesn't pass the test.

You're at best begging the question here. In the South there were (horribly wrong) people who honestly and truly believed (incorrectly) that not only was it morally permissible to own slaves, but that it was morally necessary. They (wrongly, racistly) believed that the only way the "African race" could be saved from "savagery" was to be in captivity.

This argument is clearly stupid and wrong from a 21st century perspective. But it was honestly believed. Under your framework, a slave owner in 1800 would be correct to "come down hard" on an abolitionist. After all, the abolitionist would be promoting "clearly wrong" morals.

The idea that a majority should "come down hard" on dissenting ideas is inherently a conservative (if not reactionary) move. In the 1950s, a vast majority of the country (wrongly) thought that homosexuality was a toxic sin that could (stupidly) infect children who were exposed to it. If you gave that majority the power to "come down hard" on dissenting views, the gay rights movement would never have happened. (Yes, I'm aware that lots of people in the gay rights movement were punished by the majority -- that was bad and we shouldn't encourage it).

So long as you get to decide what's right and wrong it's easy. But imagine George Bush got to decide. Or ISIS. Or some other group you don't like.
Your argument is becoming incoherent. It is because people don't behave themselves that we do need laws. The CFAA was enacted because existing wire fraud laws don't cover non- remunerative offenses, which are most serious computer offenses.
