Without derailing this discussion, yeah this happens but only at a later stage in your career where you have the 'name recognition' in your subset of surgery so that your colleagues trust you enough you to even bring you in as a partner. I'm limited to the NE region, but I've never once seen a surgeon or medical practitioner form his/her own association or join in as a JP into an already established association until they were well out of the burden of debt.

In the same way that attorneys generally don't go straight into the market and form Johnson, Thompson LLP until they have a few wins under their belt at Skadden or Cravath and a few clients they know they can bring over, your typical niche association won't hire you into their surgical association even with half a decade out with a bunch of articles with you as lead surgeon in high-impact journals. You're still considered a risk as a partner (nepotistic situations notwithstanding).

Given the long travel times, the untried machinery, the unknown risks, the known risks, the isolation, I doubt the chances of getting there would be larger than 10%, and returning about 0%.

One possibility might be to send older people, or people with a short life expectancy on earth, with the idea they could do something great with their remaining time. This may be politically impossible, though.

I guess it depends on how you look at it. It uses upstart to start all the sysvinit scripts, no? I know you can create upstart jobs and they'll get started, I've done that. But you're right, it doesn't make "real" use of upstart, in a sense.

Had the same thing happen when I broke my hand. The first doctor wanted to fill it with metal. A second opinion with a more conservative doctor caused me to avoid that surgery, and it healed just fine.

I encountered the same egregious attitude when cancelling the appointment. It made me realize all the more that it was a attempted money grab, with no real concern for my wellbeing.

It was quite the learning experience. I will now never not get a second opinion.
I think the main problem is that Buffer encourage thoughtless posts. Marketers/social media people have this strange urge to constantly post (so that they look busy, thereby placating their bosses?). But there's no way that if you're posting your "requisite" 5-6x a day, that everything (or anything) you say will be thoughtful or entertaining. That's one of the reasons that "Buffered" tweets usually get low engagement, they're usually just links to articles... and I can get that in other places. Like HN.

Great service in theory, but in the way it's being used now, it tips the signal:noise ratio of content in the wrong direction.

Well, the media are doing their work.

And not just outright propaganda. Take any good thriller series, e.g. "Persons of Interest". The authorities routinely have all the surveillance information about anyone, track phones, etc. This is seen as normal, accepted, and desirable.

BTW why? "The only winning move is not to play"?

Also note how vocal minorities with clear goals achieved in the past some serious shifts in mass consciousness. Black rights, women rights, gay rights — these things were not lead by establishment, or even by excessively huge groups. These were lead by vocal, unrelenting activists, initially seen as idealists and nuts. Exactly like RMS looked 20 years ago, and Snowden looks now.

The only real hard limit is likely to be specifically the radiation acquired from Galactic Cosmic Rays.

There is, to a first approximation, nothing you can do about this; And it is in fact up there around our thresholds for dose limit, unless you're satisfied with increasing the mission mass by a factor of a thousand. The only practical thing to do is to adjust our thresholds.

But screw it - we're talking about landing on another planet, about millions of man-years of time investment, about activities plenty of people would donate DALYs to accomplish; About activities they will usually have to donate their entire career and their marriages to accomplish anyway, where the unknown unknown risks of sudden death are expected to be of a higher magnitude in the first place. Thresholds are silly in that context.

For comparison:

Flight attendants who have been on the job between five years and their whole careers have ~600% of the breast cancer (and likely other cancer) risk of the median person.

Regular smokers have 2600% the risk of lung cancer as people who have never smoked.

Pay a smoker a million dollars to sign a contract stating they will never smoke again, send him to Mars, then pay a private investigator to follow him around for the rest of his life ensuring he does not start smoking, and he will have a vastly lower rate of cancer at vastly lower monetary outlay than if he had been rejected at the first astronaut screening and NASA had attempted to mitigate radiation risk from GCRs.

Nicely done, thanks! Still, having to explain a concept as simple as eventual computation reinforces my belief that promises as a whole is broken, and should be done in something that looks like synchronous code with some help of the underlying runtime. (And no, ES7's async is not good enough for me here)
I would expand this a bit and say: there is no point in trying to appreciate culture if you don't actually enjoy the experience. (And thus no point in trying to have your children appreciate culture if they don't enjoy it.)

It's sad that a lot of aspects of culture (art museums, plays, orchestral music) have been labeled as boring, because people feel obligated to experience them.
The topic under discussion is why you can't build private mass transport system.

Not quite - I think that's why you've got so many replies. The comment you were replying to said "subsidised" not "private", which are different things, so it looked like you were answering a question nobody had asked.

You can have unsubsidised state mass transport and subsidised private mass transport. Although not having a subsidy is rare, there are a few state services which are required to run at operational breakeven.

I have a Wordpress plugin with ~100k active installs. Recently I've started getting emails from people wanting to buy the plugin from me. I'm assuming they want it for a botnet or other nefarious purposes. I'm not sure if Wordpress have stepped up their monitoring of plugins or not, but in past there was little oversight of the plugins and adding a direct backdoor to those 100k servers would be trivial, not to mention the millions of people that could be reached via JavaScript injection.
This. Most people see no problem with this surveillance, and I imagine most lawmakers legitimately think they're doing a good thing by allowing it.

I've found that the average person's views on this issue can actually be quite strange. For example, several of my relatives have told me that they think the NSA is doing a good thing, and that they are perfectly fine having the NSA perform it's activities because they have "nothing to hide". They then tell me that the thing that actually unnerves them is being served targeted ads by companies based on their search history etc. If I try to tell them that these two things aren't easily disentangled, as the NSA gets a lot of their data from these same companies, they can't process it.

Probably they're specifically talking about some kind of transfer vehicle doing a Hohmann transfer orbit. The idea of sending very small resupply and spare part payloads on a non-Hohmann likely very expensive trajectory is interesting, but it'll never work as a substantial fraction of the mass of the ship, like food will have to be. So you could use the entire delta-V of a major booster to deliver a spare circuitboard to a vehicle 3/4 of the way to Mars but significant masses of food won't work.

Another problem is organizational inertia, if a Hohmann transfer takes 600 days or whatever and a major international mission takes 10 years of administrative planning, then if a super emergency resupply is required on day 400, it won't arrive until 3400, in other words a bit too late to matter. So technically you could waste a normally 20 thousand pound booster on a 10 pound emergency payload of circuit boards and med supplies, but organizationally "we" are too slow to do it.

“Ugh, I only watch like 10% of the stuff on Netflix. Can’t I pay 89 cents instead of $8.99?”

I mean... $8.99 is already 10% of the $89.99+ that you'd have to pay to get a cable subscription with premium channels and HBO, but I think this is still an interesting argument. Does make you think about the power Netflix holds though: little stopping them from expanding services and prices until they are the new old cable company. Personally, I think even Netflix will eventually have to do what people have been demanding from the cable companies: break services into more a la carte (but still all you can eat) options.
Nope, as I said Azad university sucks balls. I didn't finish school there. I came to the U.S., got some real education and started working for a company that you use it's products everyday. But it's not about me. I might be the dumbest person on planet

Back to your original point in which you suggested we have decent education for cheap of free in Iran. I still disagree with you. There is only a handful of schools (Sharif and maybe Tehran) with decent teachers and some decade old equipments, other than that most of schools in Iran are inefficient and I consider them a waste of time. Azad university is more like a religious school than an art and science college. So no, we don't have "free or cheap" "decent education" "for everyone". If we had we wouldn't have such terrible society. You went to a "decent" school and living in Canada. You're considered "elite" or counted in brain drain stats! Yet, you are attacking people on internet for no reason. That's why I'm saying we have a terrible society.
I went Ubuntu -> Crunchbang (r.i.p.) -> Arch, with a short stint trying out Gentoo. Arch is my favorite, but that is largely because I am a control freak when it comes to my system.

Ubuntu is nice if you have never used Linux. There is a wealth of resources out there that assume you are using Ubuntu for your distro, it offers a lot of default options that let you do things without worrying about them (like network configurations or mounting of file systems), and it is incredibly stable. However, changing or removing certain aspects can prove difficult. If you start to deviate from the things they give you, or the things available in the Ubuntu app marketplace (or whatever it is now), then you will probably experience some friction. Or, if you are a developer and want to run with the latest updates for that compiler that made it finally not terrible, you are going to be waiting a while until it moves into the ubuntu-stable repository (and mixing experimental/testing/stable is risky, if you aren't sure what you're doing).

Arch is the other side of that coin. If you want something that just got released, Arch will probably have it, either in the standard repos, or the AUR. And pacman/yaourt are some of the best package managers I have used. And making changes to your system is easy, as there is very little that gets in your way (systemd is perhaps the only thing to worry about). And for any changes you do want to make, the Arch Wiki is an absolutely fantastic resource (this is true in general, for most distros). All this comes with a price, as you have to manually do a lot of stuff. You have to install your window manager or desktop environment; you have to manage or set up your network connections (and there are a few programs to choose from); you have to write your own xinitrc (if you want), set up your session manage, everything. A base Arch install gives you the coreutils, and little else. For some people, who want to control everything their computer does for one reason or another, this is perfect. For others, this is maddening (I assume).

Most distros exist somewhere on that spectrum of usability and control, with Ubuntu on one end and Arch (and to a further extent, Gentoo) on the other. I have spent hours upon hours learning about my system and what I can do with/to it using Arch. It is fun for me, but I don't think that is for everybody. Its up to you to decide what you want.

(Protip: install to a virtual machine or a throwaway machine before making the full switch. Even with Ubuntu its much easier to break your system than Windows or OS X)
I'm OK with this, if you stop thinking of "the government" as a monolithic entity, where everyone who enters into government work becomes "one of them". Groups within agencies, maybe even entire (small) agencies, sure.

But "the government" as a whole is far, far, far too large and diverse for this to make sense. You've got so many different levels and units of government you're lumping in together that it just doesn't make any sense. Is the city councilperson no longer "working for you" when they change garbage service from every week to every two weeks, and add a recycling program? Weekly garbage service is my right as an American!

It's too shallow an analysis, it's like a conspiracy theory--like the way medical conspiracies try to get you to think that your run-of-the-mill doctor is conspiring to keep REAL medicine out of your hands, etc etc.

But small groups of, or a handful of shell-game power players, even in high up positions? Sure, I can buy that.

I started by thinking that I disagree with you, but then re-read your comment and I actually agree, except I wouldn't call it the "democratic mindset" because that makes it seem linked to democracy. I would just call it "voting" or maybe "the voting mindset", to clearly separate it from "democracy". Here's what I initially wrote:

"Democracy" is not just "people vote for stuff". Democracy is a whole system of interlocking institutions and practices that have to work together in order for a free society to be able to exist. Unless they are all there and functioning reasonably well, you don't have a democracy - even if people vote on stuff.

Among those necessary parts of democracy are:

- Transparency and accountability of elected leaders

- Separation of powers (legislative, judiciary and executive at the very least)

- A free and competent press

- Freedom of speech

- Freedom of assembly and of association, with the ability for various groups and institutions (everything from the local chess club to the ACLU) to form, organise, and take actions without control or approval from a central government

- Rule of law

- The ability for people to exercise control over the three branches of government (e.g. via voting).

This is by no means an exhaustive list. But it's already a whole lot more than "voting"...
I realise that. It is just generally good advice to disable flash.

I started learning HTML / PHP when I was 14. It took me 10 years to get decent at it. I dropped out of school when I was 15. I worked odd jobs; settled on working as a bike mechanic. Did that while doing random programming gigs on the side.

A few years ago I worked at a bike shop where I was salaried and the owner wasn't paying overtime. After working way too many unpaid hours in a week, a pointed out that it was illegal. Ended in a 'well prove it' argument so I did. Got my overtime, then left the company since it was super stressful and uncomfortable after that.

After that I pushed shopping carts at Lowes all day, then came home and practiced programming and did random Odesk jobs. It sucked. At this point I finally learned enough OOP and Mysql that everything clicked and I started learning a lot faster from there.

Another bike shop finally had an opening, so I went there. I moved on to a sailboat and saved enough money to try freelancing. I did freelance work for a while. After that I tried to start an IoT startup. The stress totally destroyed me and I was broke. After our big contract fell through, I applied to a local software company and got the job. Did that for a while and now I write software for a startup in the bay area.

He basically just elaborates on those points and poses more questions.

The whole paper can be summed up in the abstract or, even one sentence; If computers become intelligent enough to become creative, then perhaps they may come up with a better way to comprehend digital units.

May I ask how much they are offering?
I think one of the greatest difficulties in completely automated mathematics would be the discovery of mostly those things which are interesting. If computer mathematics is ever to diverge from human thinking, someone must pay to keep the lights on. Since nobody would pay for random points in theorem-space, it must have some way of figuring out what the human brains down at the breaker box actually want. This to me looks a lot like the problem of computer automated storytelling or even art.

Also, I don't think the alien-ness of computer proofs is a given. Perhaps someday some psychologist or philosopher might work out exactly what our cognition likes to work with, upon which time you could write a proof compiler that outputted those things.

That raises and interesting question. Can all interesting proofs be built with human-friendly steps? Maybe that's why we haven't worked out P and NP.

I'd offer case-mix as a simple explanation of the findings. In other words, when lots of cardiologists in a hospital leave for a conference, elective procedures are deferred until their return... which means that emergency cases constitute a larger proportion of the reduced number of cases that do come into the hospital during the conference. It is completely reasonable to believe that emergency cases have a higher mortality rate than elective cases. This would raise the mortality rate, but not the mortality count. The same effect would probably be seen over long holidays, when people tend not to schedule elective cases.
