For the areas I used to work in for many years, high energy physics and quantum gravity, I can't think of a single exception.

Of course I don't have total knowledge of these fields, only my corner of them, and I'm sure you'll find a counterexample if you dig deep enough, but if counterexamples are remarkable and rare, then the heuristic: "Not on the arxiv, not likely to be credible" stands.

I support people being able to live without pollution. I also support mining as a fundamental economic activity necessary for human civilization.

But what I don't get is how this mine can extract hundreds of millions of dollars per year out of the ground and yet not be willing to scrape up the relatively small investment needed to comfortably relocate a few thousand Chilean villagers.

Mining isn't necessary a high-profit-margin business, but they really ought to consider resettlement to be a proper business expense.
For spelling/grammar — yes.
I guess there's a place for this type of research, but it seems like a fool's errand to try to make any kind of objective analysis about such things.

In any business you have a fairly unique problem and a unique set of people, the only way to succeed is to be aware of the specifics you're dealing with and react appropriately. Management trying to apply insight from academic research so often ends up looking clueless and alienating the rank and file.
"Arguably"? Nope. Read District of Columbia v. Heller. It's all there. It's really not arguable.
I think JLG is missing a massive point.

1) porting apps isn't only helpful for windows phone, it also gets those apps on windows desktops and tablets. Though Windows phone is not a huge success, there are a lot of tablet/pcs running apps which are already made for ipads and such get a decent pass at running simply in the windows store.

2) Just because an app 'can' run on multiple platforms, doesn't mean it should. WORA has been promised forever, and quite honestly, has never really worked. But if I have an app that measures exposure to sunlight and passes that data to a web-app, it has no UI directly connected to it, and it is likely not useful on a tablet, but it is useful on a IoT device and on my phone. What about Angry Birds, why can't it run on phone, tablet, and XBox? Nobody says EVERY app has to run across all the platforms, just that you can run your apps on more than one platform. Pick the platforms that best suit your needs.

3) the comment about continuity and airplay ignores that fact that with the 'box with cables', I don't have multiple devices, I have a phone and a dock. That is quite different from having to have a phone and a matching desktop or tablet. Not saying continuity and airplay aren't any good, but they are just different.

4) paying people to build apps, when you're losing the war it isn't a horrible strategy, and if nobody takes advantage, it doesn't cost anything.
Depends on what you mean by <<certain quantum particles only "exist" when measured>> :)
A blog with the appearance of a scientific paper
Is there a way to see the page where the image originated? Very interesting though, could be very useful to marketers. I sometimes need to find websites with users who have similar interests or in a specific niche, and this tool could be really helpful for that.
Hi I'm starting a blog related to startups, science, robotics and AI. Its design is like a scientific paper. Any advice is welcomed
This should be better classified now as Alphabet's technology. Google is just the software/advertisement side of the business.
That doesn't get you past the last point my comment raised. A lower success rate at FISC is also problematic.
Github and bitbucket etc really should offer an opt-out scan-on-push service that looks for the most common mistakes and reject the push with an URL explaining what's going on in the server echo.
"I don't want the military failing hard and failing fast. Make it work, make it work well, and then don't mess with it."

This presumes the mission, terrain, and enemy remains static, which has really never been the case. What worked in WW2 isn't often going to be effective for today's problems.

Sure there are jobs that are nearly eternal, from which we should pick proven designs, doctrines. But especially in wartime, a "fail fast, fail cheap, and learn quickly" is exactly what I would want in a military to complement the decades of bureaucratic planning that preceded in peacetime.
I thought most people used the insulin pumps now, with the lancet for testing?
Yeah, I'm imagining that the conversations were Entirely Reasonable. Something like, "the world is changing, people are moving off land-lines, and we can't be expected to maintain dead lines in perpetuity".

The disgusting thing is, after this passed, the rates jumped about 50%. I was willing to pay under $20/month for land line service, but paying almost $30/month (for metered access, even for local calls!) was just too much.

"Since 2011, the California Public Utilities Commission has allowed phone companies to raise -- or lower -- basic phone rates whenever they choose, rather than seek approval from regulators. Since then, costs have steadily gone up."

This, and the fact that the state now controls cable TV franchises, have left me pretty disillusioned with California government.
What about mbapolymers.com ?
They seem to be able to recycle efficiently any sort of plastic. Why there are other recycling processes still in use ?
What about something like blood glucose measurement for diabetes? I think they wanted to do something for continuous monitoring for diabetics.
I'm sure I've done this in the past haha, the npm workflow isn't great at times in this regard. If you have something (to test etc) that is not checked into Git, but still in the directory, it can still make its way into a publish. That's definitely what I'd advise people to be most careful of, use npm-link and use credentials elsewhere etc.

Koa I'm curious of, I've seen almost every pull-request go in there, anyway nice post.
Google (Alphabet) has an entire division devoted to health and biotechnology: Calico. Like most mature technology companies, they tackle a wide variety of problems well outside their core revenue business.
throw in that the enemies it is used against aren't first rate and the stand off ability with cruise missiles and why wouldn't it have a place?
as much as i like your sentiment: motivators stead limitators; we're talking about a mature industry causing a great deal of harm already yesterday and somehow managing to offload responsibility, using lobbying, onto the consumer

subsidising a shift in production interests is a great idea, and i do think a robust alternative will be necessary in pushing forth any able limiting legislation

i am uninterested in profiting financially from this effort

my interest is in having there be a sane approach to resource utilisation
PS4 Kernel Exploit Confirmed by CTurt
How about because I don't see humans eating meat as any worse than any other animal eating meat?

I'm sure the mouse one of my previous cats ate was in excruciating pain when it died. But that's life, it's called predation.

See no reason humans should try and be 'different' to the rest of nature. The whole artificial 'divide' between humanity and nature is just strange to me.

I enjoy eating meat, I see it as perfectly natural, and frankly, I don't give a damn how the cow feels as its being slaughtered.
> the only reason for eating meat is taste

It's a hell of a reason, though.
Both. Readers should stop reading when they get to "a toxic worker is defined as a worker that engages in behavior that is harmful to an organization." Could mean literally anything. Their data is equally ridiculous. It consists of a) lists of people that were fired because management deemed them "Toxic" and b) "daily performance data that represent productivity by measuring the average amount of time an employee required to handle a transaction and customer satisfaction scores." Their conclusion is that people that have self respect are more likely to be fired for being toxic. Ha! My only question is, how the hell do I get paid to write this stuff?
Check the file date (May 2014). This was filed before the existence of Alphabet.
It is an interesting question. But why Amish?
As an aside, 0AD is quite impressive as a 'golden-days' RTS. I've had lots of fun in it with my friends.
I wonder what kind of load that'd place on Github's Git daemons, though? Might be difficult to do for free.
Look at all the categories of goods you have available. You can have
virtually any furniture, clothes, jewelery, stationary or mobile electronics,
craft and hobby tools, transportation, food, books, or services of various
sorts. You can fill up your leisure with so many possible activities that it
may become very hard to find something you really enjoy, something that hits
the spot and allows you to stop searching.

And now image you have a new product or service. This product will need to
compete for attention of your potential customers with everything else that
is so sexy already and what they already know. How do you get it through to
their awareness?

You can also try to make something actually useful. Something that is needed
for something, like cheaper technology for producing plastics, or to mine
titanium as efficiently as iron is now, or allows to launch medium-scale
production in a garage with $10k worth of equipment. This seems to be much
easier way than to compete with luxury distractions we have. But, of course,
you need to have an executable idea for a real need out there.
> Or are the French doing something proactive, instead of just reacting like the USA's TSA?

Why is it that you're giving the French the benefit of the doubt here, framing their actions as being "proactive" rather than reactionary? Who says it isn't reactionary? If you were an executive officer or politician in charge of the nation's security apparatus, and it became clear that a massive security disaster happened not only your watch, but planned in the open on places like Facebook, prioritizing the legislative agenda towards Tor and encryption is a reactionary tactic to cover your own ass. To see it otherwise may be a bit naive about how human organizations work.
Search and wiretap warrant requests are secret (until served), and are (especially in the wiretap case) approved the overwhelming majority of the time.
Might be better to open an issue.

You can also use the Fibonacci sequence: km/miles = phi (within 0.5%), and the limiting ratio of sequential terms of the Fibonacci sequence is phi.

1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 34

3 miles = 4.828 km
5 miles = 8.047 km
21 miles = 33.796 km
IC Merger Mania Hits Fever Pitch
The B-52 is already something of a case study as far as the changes required to allow a high-altitude aircraft to endure prolonged low altitude missions. SAC's switch to low-altitude attack profiles during the Cold War resulted in a huge number of modifications and overhauls to SAC B-52s specifically to allow for prolonged low-altitude flight.
I wouldn't place it in the uncanny valley. It just sounds highly scripted and acted.
DNS names where? How long does it take for the updates to get to whatever resolver you're using?
Read "Flight of the Old Dog" by Dale Brown. It's a bit dated by modern standards (it was written in the 80s, when the Soviet Union was still a thing), but still good. I won't spoil it for you, but the book features a heavily modified B-52 saving the day.
Yeah, definitely hard to do for free probably, but it's a potentially great value add, and could be an additional service an organization/user could pay for.
Too bad everything is done in secret so we will have to rely on "interpretations" to guess whats actually going on. What a coincidence.
Eating meat is natural? Then why is it our bodies cannot handle digesting raw meat like say, lions?

Eating meat is not natural. Humans are not predators.
There's been _alot_ of comments here and elsewhere that state the exact same thing. On one hand, no it's not their fault and _should_ they be held accountable - obviously no. But it would be so awesome if they did provide this. Wherever human error can occur, it will occur.
Semiconductor Consolidation’s Aftermath
> Christians used to believe the world would end before the Christ's original followers had all died.

I am guessing you heard this in a college class or some academic. Warning non-theological academics are incredibly lazy in terms of research and will take 30 seconds to form an opinion with no reference to anything else. Heck I had a "World Renowned" speciallist explain that the New Testament was written 100 to 200 years later and that their was no evidence of even Pontious Pilot. I raised my hand and explained that he read 1700's liberal theology started from Hermann Samuel Reimarus in the "Search for the Historical Jesus." TO bad archiology had proved all the points false and I was willing to talk with him after class. After 5 minutes of mockery I raised my hand and said you really don't want to hear about facts right now do you? His reply, "F___ No." I then sent an email later on and he actually sent me an apology, but the harm is done with false research. It just spreads bad academics and then this stops the ability for people to talk to each other on a level playing field.

This was due to Paul's writing that he thought the parousia (Return of Christ) would happen before he died.

1 Thessalonians 4:15 We tell you this directly from the Lord: We who are still living when the Lord returns will not meet him ahead of those who have died

Later on he wrote it this way.

2 Corinthians 1:8 Yes, we are fully confident, and we would rather be away from these earthly bodies, for then we will be at home with the Lord.

Paul was beheaded years before the next book of the New Testament was even written.

I don't have a huge problem with individuals running license plate readers, since that is necessarily limited in scope. I meant that it's a bit of a dystopic view to assume that the government should be allowed to have their license plate readers and use them to accumulate massive databases that track the position of every car on every road.
> Also, many non-vegans and non-vegetarians suffer from B12 deficiency these days.

As a meat eater with B12 deficiency I agree with this statement.
Isn't the same true for stereo camera ?
Frankly, I'd like to see all ALPR data published in real time. If my local government wants to collect data based on what's in plain public view, I see no reason why that data should not also be public.
That's unfortunately not what es6 const does - const is about re-assignment, not about immutability. (Though you can implement immutability in terms of non-re-assinment if it is const-all-the-way-down, which javascript objects aren't.) And you still need to re-write all the ecosystem to work with immutable objects.

140,000 people died in the war.
4,000,000 "displaced".

The NYTimes article mentions B-52's bombing Yugoslavia ...

In the Persian Gulf war, Kosovo, Afghanistan and the Iraq war, the lumbering jets, well-established as a symbol of death and destruction, demoralized enemy ground troops by first dropping tons of leaflets with messages like “flee and live, or stay and die,” then returning the next day with tons of explosives.
I interpret Arrow's theorem as a statement that there is no universally-agreeable definition of "fair". You can create local definitions of "fair", you can get people to agree to operate with them, but somebody else can always propose a different, sensible definition of "fair", and that definition may produce a different outcome. It also means that it's reasonable to debate the effects of different definition of "fair".

I'd say the entire point is precisely that these constraints, quite surprisingly, are too tight. You must loosen them. You have no choice.

It doesn't mean it's the end of all hope, it just means that it may not be quite as easy to "turn a crank" and get universal answers as we'd like.

I think a lot of people miss that Arrow's theorem is less a political statement than a mathematical proof, and end up bringing a lot of baggage to it that is not justified. It is what it is; it isn't morally "right" or "wrong", it isn't that it "misses something" or unfairly focuses on something else, it's just "true". What you do with it is up to you, but you won't change its truth or falseness value by arguing with it any more than you can any other proof.
Have you heard about tartare steak? It's really popular in Central Europe.
It's not dictators that are ok, it's the overly strictly defined "independence of irrelevant alternatives"

It is entirely possible that reasonable voters will end up with a rock-paper-scissors situation among their top three preferences. Such a situation will "break" Arrow's theorem (rock wins an election vs scissors, but when paper enters now scissors wins).

But such a possibility doesn't mean your voting system is bad, it's completely fine to have that happen so long as one of the top rock-paper-scissors cycle wins. This property is true of a whole lot of voting systems that Arrow needlessly dismisses.
I would say that yes, if a project is on github (or any other openly accessible platform) it greatly adds to the credibility of said project.
Just like papers that are early-released on arvix it allows me to form an opinion about it and more importantly allows more intelligent people than me to read the code and draw conclusions which I can then lean on.

So in other words...what's the downside of publishing on arvix? You can also send it to a peer reviewed journal.
Agreed, ECSSH2 is either a convoluted replacement or a nice play on both technologies depending on how you look at it... although that could be confused with ECDSA - naming things is hard!
Serious question --- and I will probably agree with your answer, I think --- how else could it work? We're talking about surveillance of foreign terrorist and weapons proliferation networks. What's the part of this that shouldn't be secret?
FWIW, AWS actually does this for you. Their response time is pretty amazing, too. IIRC, they caught me pushing an active key within 2-3 minutes.

People without landlines seemed to be healthier, if anything:

"Compared with adults living in landline households, wireless-only adults were more likely to have their health status described as excellent or very good, more likely to have met the 2008 federal physical activity guidelines for aerobic activity (based on leisure-time activity), and less likely to have ever been diagnosed with diabetes."

Not sure if serious. I have no idea if this will engender downvotes for myself, but personally, I've always found HBS to do almost NOTHING BUT lend its name to pseudoscience twaddle and call it "business" or "management". Rest assured, in corporate life whenever you get some bullshit speaker spruiking some bullshit idea, a HBS paper is always eerily near.

Frankly I'm shocked they have the cachet they do...humans and their authority/prestige structures continue to fascinated me.
Exactly. To organize random mayhem you do not need any clever communication, but to criticise destructive government politics, you may need it.
That's pretty sweet, but by then the damage's already done. Rejecting the push would be even better, making sure the confidential data never goes public. AIUI dark-hatted people are scraping the real-time push feeds at Github for credentials and botting up exploits, so even a few seconds could be a big enough window for damage to be done.

An example of this happening on AWS just like you mentioned: https://www.humankode.com/security/how-a-bug-in-visual-studi...
FWIW Github already scans your commits for Github OAuth tokens and revokes any tokens it found. Doesn't prevent you from checking in SSH keys or anything like that but it's something, right? (Source: I did this once with a non-priviledged token. Oops.)
Anything that can help make this subject more approachable is alright in my book. In my experience, the hardest part of Abstract Algebra isn't the abstract part of it. It's the lack of examples and clarity around how different named concepts behave. The proofs aren't terrible even except for the fact that they require a familiarity with number theory that many (at least I myself) don't have. I love the subject though. Really interesting.
The definition surprised me. I mean the actual definition, as it is used later, not the one presented in the beginning. First they say someone who does more bad than good is a toxic worker, but then they have some quite strange attributes to that, like someone being fired for toxicity (which often means he's annoying to the boss, not that he's toxic), or someone who steals office supplies (I don't know anybody who would even complain about that, as long as it's not in exceptional ammounts).

And finally they conclude you should always try to cut losers instead of fighting for winners. There is no game (in the sense of game theory, not child's play) in which "always" really makes you better than average. Sometimes everybody knows that someone is toxic but you can't cut him lose, because he is in a very specific position (e.g., the brother of your most important customer). Another time having that one super-star will put you forward by a dimension, not just a few bucks. "Instead of always do A better always do B"? No, both is wrong. Don't "always".

Let's be clear. These are friends of the court, not any kind of advocates. They work for the court. They are not adversaries to the executive.

What, for example, will happen if the court systematically ignores them? Can they go to the media? What can they do but resign? That will make the nightly news and be forgotten by morning.

This creature is called a "court," but, lacking adversarial advocates it's wholly an instrument of the executive branch. Adding some friends with impressive resumes does not change that.

"After all, drivers do not have a reasonable expectation of privacy over their publicly-visible plate number while driving down public roads."

Random people can see my license plate but they don't know who I am. Today only people who know my license plate AND happen to see it randomly know I'm there at this moment, which is a reasonable expectation of privacy for me.

Now if there was a website where you can query a partially complete trip history of any license plate completely void that privacy. Think about such a tool in the hands of a paparazzi for instance...
