This puts me in mind of one of my favourite cringe-worthy medical paper abstracts: "Fulminant acute colitis following a self-administered hydrofluoric acid enema" (Am J Gastroenterol. 1993 Jan;88(1):122-6):

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8420252

The phrase "while intoxicated from intranasal cocaine administration" made it into the abstract. One suspects the words "watch this!" were uttered in the immediately preceding moments ...
Most likely, gravitation is an effect which we already know, but at much lower resolution. IMHO, it is similar to Casimir effect, but at much higher frequency, e.g. 1E(1E200) Hz.
Their objection of vagueness isn't good in this case I feel. A patent is directed at skilled practitioners of the relevant arts, this document has sufficient detail to allow a programmer to implement the idea. Claims must define an area of technology otherwise patents would just be worked around and would provide no useful monopoly.

However it does appear to be anticipated by prior art mentioned elsewhere on the comments here. Given that, I'm surprised the patent wasn't challenged: that suggests it either wasn't useful to others or that the USA court system prevents lawful challenges to anticipated patents somehow (eg by burdening appellants - appealing against the grant - with costs).
This was a front page above the fold editorial, which the NY Times has not done since the 1920s.
Oh I don't know, I would rather enjoy the excitement of never knowing what day a food manufacturer might decide to start adding melamine to my food with no repercussions.
In safety training at a university, we were instructed that if we were exposed to aqueous HF, we were to immediately slather on calcium gluconate on the burn area, grab an HF MSDS, and demand that the ambulance take us to a specific Level 1 trauma center and insist that the physicians understand that we were exposed to HF and not some generic acid.

I don't know the precise mechanism for toxicity (I thought it was hypocalcemia), but if the tradionally safety-lax academia takes HF that seriously, you know it's the real deal.
I woke up and find riak, hope they make search on by default but one could argue that perfection is not a thing.
Delhi Based Android App Colledge
We at CollEdge thought why not bring the notice board of each college directly on a mobile application? And also a platform where all this information is provided filtered according to their course, year and stream. And this along with the study material such as time table and lab manuals are meant to be only the first stage for our app. We shall soon be updating our app to cover two other sections namely Jugaad and Unofficial section. In jugaad we shall cover other requirements such as college projects, location of PGs, Coaching institutes and internship opportunities. The unofficial section shall also provide information about unofficial parties and trips along with various fests and events.

CollEdge literally provides you with an 'edge' over others in your 'college'.
By "real-time" above I mean from the perspective of whoever runs the simulation. Compare: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real-time_simulation.
The politics are addressing racism is hard. White people don't want to take responsibility for something that happened before they were born; minorities won't accept their current problems are their fault.

Neither group is wrong for feeling the way they do, but the hard truth is accepting these positions is the only starting point to undoing hundreds of years of assholery.
Also the lack of differentiation between PM10 and PM2.5 numbers is very unhelpful. What's actually being measured? Just saying PM isn't useful. Plus, the scale only goes to 150 -- LOL, I'm in China, a scale that only goes 150 is useless. Finally, for the activities, what's the difference between "take care" and "take it easy"?
Yep, but it will take 8 hours to drive to work from nearest subway station.
I just need something that can do:

./something.py account.key domain.key domain.csr -o fullcert.pem

acme-tiny is 95% of the way there, but it doesn't output the full chain. I may just fork it and add the extra step, but I prefer it in the official client.
You're less than half joking! Epson says it can print colored and scented paper.

Remember the "iSmell Personal Scent Synthesizer" from DigiScents? "The device contained a cartridge with 128 "primary odors" which could be mixed to replicate natural and man-made odors. DigiScents had indexed thousands of common odors, which could be coded, digitized, and embedded into web pages or email." [1]

"We expect to have low-end and high-end iSmell hardware," Smith agrees. "The low end may retail for under $200. The smell cartridges - even at the high end - will probably cost under $50." With moderate use, he guesses, they should last a few months." [2]

DigiScents claimed they were going to make money [3] by following the Epson printer model, selling the device for cheap, while making money on the cartridges. I imagine that the cookie scent would get used up a lot faster than the poopie scent, then you have to replace the whole monolithic cartridge of 128 odors.

Programming Language Pragmatics by Michael Scott

http://www.amazon.com/Programming-Language-Pragmatics-Third-...

I haven't read a lot of language books, but this one has good information on the various design choices one might make when building a language. Like the others listed in the comments, it's more implementation-focused than semantic design-focused.
That's only an argument for a constitutional amendment. The justice system can interpret a law in light of modern technologies (I don't think anyone argues that the first amendment gives you the right to use a printing press but not an electronic printer) but they have to follow the intent of the constitution.
Japan Set to Test Stealth Jet as Abe Boosts Defense Focus
That's exactly his point, and honestly, I agree with it.

An addition that I would make is a large point that he made by mentioning the paper with the faulty statistical data-- there are a lot of research papers being published that are conforming to the social justice movement, but aren't well backed, yet still accepted because of their motivation. The field is being diluted by this bad research that's trying to "change the world," instead of searching for objective truth.
Now that's something one can use on a server w/o python. It's obviously harder to use than a fire and forget service, but it broadens the use-cases to simple gear where you don't want to run everything (or can't).
> We know they watch more television and do less childcare than working-class women, and are less likely than more affluent men to work long hours.

I love the implied slur against working class men not working 'long hours' or doing their share of the childcare.

You can only write a sentence like that if you've never been physically tired from exertion after doing a days work. There simply isn't any more energy to do anything. And putting in 'more hours' is going to be counterproductive since you're expected to perform another act at 6 am the next morning.

I know quite a few of these 'working class men' and none of them seem to live all that long past the age of 65, their bodies a shell of what they were when they started working. And with the recent increase of the age at which the pension system kicks in it's become more common that they don't reach the pensionable age at all.

Not all work-hours are equally taxing.
I think the parent comment meant "us" like "you and me," not the USA.

The capital letters were just for emphasis.
Exactly , You correctly rephrased that.
I want to note last time I checked people who works at R&D in Microsoft , I literally blown away by their name. Maybe more big name than every other company in whole IT industry.

But the fact as you mention remain correct. They are not trying to bring new and innovative stuff to people's life. At least not when they are leader .
Yep, I got the same lecture, I was specifically asking about mechanism because the explanation we were given was "eats your bones" which is patently ridiculous.
Obviously I am not arguing for more tracking by advertisers. I was just pointing out the fault in their reasoning that they make a lot of assumptions not based on strong science.
If I understand correctly Apple products can be "jailbroken" if you don't want to buy a new product and primarily want to use it for actual artistic endeavors. I was simply contradicting your assertion that music software isn't up to par with quick composition, because it is, and to assert otherwise is simply ignorant. In your case, willful, so that's just your own problem, as I noted.
> The real fantasy is centralization and taxonomies of everything

Precisely. Currently there are plenty of graph-based databases to choose from - GraphDB, ArangoDB, Neo4j, Allegro, etc etc. They are all pretty good, and some also support rule-based inferencing, i.e. you can put a rule in the database like "if X is a person and belongs to team Y and the manager for team Y is Z, then Z is X's manager".

Systems like that have a few disadvantages:

1. They absolutely implicitly trust all data you put in them. If in the above example you add Z as a member to team Y, then it will infer that Z is Z's manager.

2. You cannot assert negatives, nor can you search based on negative predicates.

The first is the absolute killer for such technologies if you try to deploy them internet-wide and gather "data" from any random source publishing RDF documents.
What Is Macroscalar? (2012)
...that's only true while the attacker controls the site.

The 90 day window mitigates the effect of the cert being leaked.

Just because I grabbed a site's cert on day doesn't mean I control the site. In fact, there's nothing to say I even compromised the site to get the cert in the first place. Perhaps it was mishandled internally? Or grabbed via a heartbleed-style attack?
Eliminate insurance altogether. Even if everyone paid the same amount of money they do today into a huge pile, and accidents were paid out of that pile, there would be an enormous amount left over because nobody is making a profit.

Insurance is just a middle man taking their cut
There's a fourth option to encourage longer-term employment which this article doesn't mention (and which seems to get little notice in the USA at least) -- worker-owned cooperatives.
Sorry, I get redirected to http://www.forbes.com/forbes/welcome/ every time. I guess I'll wait until some news regurgitator publishes a piece about the topic.
The JVM implementations of Javascript (e.g. Nashorn) support multithreading. Imho it's not a good thing, because all existing Javascript code is written with singlethreading in mind and lots of stuff will break if you use it from multiple threads. Multithreaded code for Nashorn requires the use of JVM synchronization primitives, which are then not supported by other Javascript engines.
Kim Jong-un in pictures: The bizarre photoshoots of North Korea's leader
"I just can't imagine living in fear of some concealed-carry-permit holding goon deciding to shoot the place up."

You don't need a concealed-carry permit to carry a concealed gun; you just need one to do it LEGALLY. I would venture to guess that a person who carries concealed with the intent of committing murder will not have bothered to get a permit.

My reasoning for keeping a killing machine (it lies around either in a safe or on my person at all times) is because crime happens, and criminals are willing to do things like use force and/or weapons. Police can't be everywhere, and while their response time here is pretty good, it's generally more than enough time for the criminals to do what they want and escape. I'd be happy to go back in time and un-invent guns, but as it stands, I don't see any way to remove all of them from all criminals' hands. So it seems to me the only viable preventive measure is for citizens to defend themselves with the same tools the criminals illegally use to commit their crimes.
Agreed, the price graph and price calendar in Google Flights are far more powerful and useful. Now if only they'd make a mobile app...

Citing exceptions to general rules doesn't mean their assumptions aren't based on science.

My advertisement for a beach vacation isn't "not based on strong science" just because I'm not aiming it at people with albinism.
It's necessary to create a galvanizing idea in the population in order to control them - hence the drumming of "gun epidemic" by government and media when the statistics show otherwise.

I agree with your sentiment, but I think the author would as well. I'd argue he's not saying that working-class men are failing anyone, rather that being a working-class man is becoming a mentally and morally exhausting pursuit, as well as a physically exhausting one. I'm not old enough or well-read enough to know if the halcyon days when this wasn't the case are actually disappearing, or if they were always a myth (as perhaps the last paragraph implies), but the author seems to be arguing that these men are suffering on a much deeper level than society gives them credit for.
The application for the first one is not obvious to me but the other two look like they had immediate applications in missile systems. Looking at what they were doing and who the employers were they probably came about as part of government-funded research and so the customer would have reviewed all of the output as a matter of course.

Any plans to open-source this on github?
I agree on the last part. I was only arguing against the popularity = technical superiority claim and for LISP as objectively one of most powerful due to design. People avoid it, plus other superior languages, for all kinds of reasons. Mostly social and economic, though.
Speaking with my chemist's hat on… wimp.

Seriously, there are any number of nasty things floating around a wet chemistry lab. Chromerge and piranha solutions (sometimes aqua regia) for cleaning glassware, various super acids and bases, pyrophoric organometallics, stuff that's oxygen or water or shock sensitive… the list goes on. HF is certainly bad, but it tends to get the respect it deserves and so is handled safely. I'm more worried about chronic occupational exposure to "safer" things like chloroform.

Edit: the one that really scares me? Anything solvated with DMSO. It dramatically increases absorption through the skin. I bet every chemist has a secret chemical fear.

Edit 2: oh, and peroxides. One idiot postdoc had a habit of buying THF without stabilizers (no need for him to do so), and storing them in the back of the chemicals cabinet where they were frequently forgotten. At least he had the decency to store them on the bottom shelf. So admittedly I have two fears, but I'll work with HF!
Everyone is at their best when they are the underdog from my experience.
I was counting Starbucks in the group of "nice" coffee shops. Their markup on coffee might be somewhat higher (though I doubt it; they may have lower materials cost but they also charge half to 2/3 as much as the indie places I tend to frequent do for a regular cuppa), but I bet any difference is still tiny compared to the facilities and staffing costs.

I was meaning it more as opposed to places that more-or-less just serve coffee out of a window.
>No, they’re apparently selling “Rise” pills to improve your memory, and “Sprint” pills to give you more energy. This is the sort of thing I see advertised on the subway, next to the offers to learn how to be an HVAC technician – can “boost your immune system” be far behind?

Did Andreessen Horowitz really just invest in the bio equivalent of a "Clean your Mac!" spammer?
Thank you fapjacks, very appreciated comment.
Two of the linked patents are pretty clearly weapons related and the third comes out of a lab that specializes in national security (among other things) so I would assume that all of the researches knew going into it that classification of the research was a likely outcome.
In principle, in many cases it's possible to allocate the right amount of space for an object's properties, under the assumption that most objects from a single constructor gain properties in the same order.
The history of isolating fluorine from HF is pretty scary:

Humphry Davy of England: poisoned, recovered. George and Thomas Knox of Ireland: both poisoned, one bedridden 3 years, recovered. P. Louyet of Belgium: poisoned, died. Jerome Nickels of Nancy, France: poisoned, died. George Gore of England: fluorine / hydrogen explosion, narrowly escaped injury. Henri Moissan of France: poisoned several times, success, but shortened life. For isolating fluorine, Moissan got the Nobel prize, two months before he died.

Your bones are constantly remodeled, as part of calcium regulation in the body. HF, interfering with that remodeling, may give the appearance of it "eating your bones".
Historically, worker-owned cooperatives did get much mention. The ideal of early labor organization was that the workers should own the means of production. This was exactly why early labor disputes were so bloody: the owners of the factories and mills saw the organized labor movement as theft. That is, organized labor was threatening to "steal" what they "built". Yes, the quotes are mine, because my own viewpoint is one of symbiosis.

The biggest problem is not that a worker-owned coop doesn't work. They do. The problem is one of primate social hierarchy. That is, "someone has to be the boss".
>Indeed. An actual free-trade agreement would be really simple to implement. Just stop intervening in trade in any way, and you'll have Free Trade.

Is free trade even a good idea?

Suppose industry in your country has higher costs, because people care about say, waterways, and thus there has to be filtering and proper waste disposal.

If you allow free trade from a country where they simply dump waste everywhere, you are punishing industry for doing the right thing, and rewarding polluters.
Except guns are specifically mentioned in the Constitution, and were pretty important in breaking away from tyranny and forming a new country. Cars, not so much.
I think the best one in this series is chlorine trifluoride [1]:

> The compound also a stronger oxidizing agent than oxygen itself, which also puts it into rare territory. That means that it can potentially go on to “burn” things that you would normally consider already burnt to hell and gone, and a practical consequence of that is that it’ll start roaring reactions with things like bricks and asbestos tile.

Holy crap, it looks like they are! Neat to see my old proposal become real. It will be interesting to compare their version functionality to my specs.
I'm sometimes intrigued that working class men have the time and energy to worry about abstract concepts like "what it means to be a man". Things relating to gender sometimes seems like something academics would care more about. Or people with more comfortable jobs and more time on their hands.

But really people from all spheres of life have strong, weak, but at least some opinion about stuff like that. _That_ is even weirder. That we can't just express ourselves how we are, but have to doubt and second-guess things within some identity framework.
Correct, just like with Skiplagged, though their FAQ (https://tripdelta.com/en/faq) indicates they may protect for this in the future.

Agreed.

I moved furniture as a young man, and that was only in 8 hours stints at the longest. At the end of the day, my body seemed to rebel against me if I even slightly exerted myself.

My current 60+ work weeks are mainly spent sitting, and although I'm tired at the end of the day, it's nowhere near as taxing as moving furniture was (and I'm older).
And by that logic we should make sure they remain an underdog.
The author is a woman. Which seems typical these days with regards to articles talking about men. Or maybe it's just that more sociologists are women (?).
