>> The SEC filing doesn’t say how much Oracle paid for the startup. It was founded in 2014 and had raised $4.5 million. The documents do indicate that Oracle has paid roughly $1.3 million to take over employees’ stock options and equity awards. It looks like StackEngine employs five people, according to its “team” page.

Look. It is clear you have few insights into how the neo nazi psyche works, since you're not directly in contact with them and nobody has explicitly explained it to you. This does however not mean that nobody knows.

Germany has a lot of problems with neo nazis because we still have actual nazis or direct descendants of those around and have a history directly tied to nazis. Neo nazis become such by way of being tought, as children, skewed views of history and accepting them as fact. Oftentimes they'll even promptly and disgustedly drop their affiliations when they become educated of historical realities, however many of them are living in circumstances (that's why they mostly occur in the poor parts of germany) where educating oneself is a luxury or maybe even looked down upon.

It is not an assumption, but a sad reality that even with all the social programs germany has, it would make the situation much worse if ideas like holocaust denial could be spread unchecked.
> He means how do you know the speed of light is 186,000 mi/sec? Did you test it yourself? Or are you taking someone's word for it? It's one or the other.

I take someone's word for it, but here's the kicker: I don't care. That particular measurement doesn't affect me one jot if it's a different speed. I don't play with optics; the measurement affects nothing I choose to do. However, if I did care, I could work from first principles and find out; it's really well documented, and I can also create my own methodology. This is not true of religious requirements. Throw money in the plate on Sunday because this guy two thousand years ago was divine? There is no way I can verify that.

> Instead of faith, I would have used "trust".

I did leave out a bit saying that the GP was using two different forms of 'faith' that were apples and oranges, but left it out as I was already waffling. :)

However, you will find that as you do your own science, it pretty much always conforms to the rules found by people who have come before you. It's really only as you near the expansion fringes of science that you start getting conflicts with mainstream thought.

Again, this does not happen with religion, where often the argument becomes "god moves in mysterious ways" or "who can know his plan, but he does have one". Core rules that don't make sense with the observed world are often distorted with these phrases. There are definitely grey areas and fuzziness in science - biology has a lot of fuzziness - but there are still common behaviours that work regardless of your cultural background. Born into an Egyptian Coptic family, Christ is divine. Born into the Muslim family next door, Christ is a prophet, but not divine. The fundamental essences of science just don't move with cultural background like that; the resistivity of copper doesn't care about your state of mind.

There is definitely trust involved in science, but trust is a thing that can be broken and reshaped and is allowed to be examined and verified, where faith is not. Besides, if trust is broken, that's considered a fault on the part of the person providing the information. However, if faith is broken, that's considered a fault on the part of the person receiving the information.

But word choice is important - by saying "science relies on faith", the underlying agenda is that other things that rely on faith should be given the same level of trust, even though they don't expose themselves to the same level of inspection.

The question was more rhetorical, an extension of the implication raised in the article that I wholeheartedly disagree with. Assuming that users are 'stupid' en masse sidesteps questions of usability instead of analyzing what is users actual prefer in their UX.

"Mob mentality" is that assumption. Customers are more than capable of returning their devices to the carrier if they really dislike their devices. They can also sell them, and many do.

But many more do not. Apple's OS is not broken, this blogger just hasn't taken the time to research why people prefer something he doesn't.

THIS. I remember Reddit being seen as the red-headed-stepchild to Digg, back when you could get 3-letter usernames. Digg was estimated to be worth $200MM.

And then Digg v4 got released in 2010, with a huge community uproar. People flocked to Reddit, and within 18 months Digg gets sold for $500k.

There are two links to educational websites in the article. One of them is to Starfall (http://www.starfall.com/) and I'm impressed with simple presentation of lessons. The author presented a lot of studies that show learning to read early has beneficial effects. It would be nice if he at least presented some anecdotal evidence how his son fared academically and intellectually. I have heard of a study that says people who read books are happier and another study shows they have longer attention spans. I couldn't find any studies supporting those assertions when I searched just now. Sounds plausible. Also, an early start can counteract a relative age effect [1] likely in this case where older children have an advantage entering kindergarten and first grade. It's possible to have a child a full 11 months older than her classmate in kindergarten. If they are 4 or 5 then that is a big difference in growth giving the advantage to the older child.

Not sure if your Java comment is warranted, a lot of Apache projects are either written in Java or run on JVM. Yes, HBase's memstore can be optimized, in particular for small key values, but that doesn't negate a need for time-series databases with proven scaling. HDFS offers that. How you were planning to design your tables in PostreSQL if you have 1m+ unique series inserting at 100K+/sec. Assuming you use timestamp as a PK does it translate into 1m+ tables?

I am really upset there is no good way of searching archives of usenet. It is a fascinating piece of history.

I used to have a pretty good screen scraper that would search queries on the Google Groups Usenet archives. Inspired by images like this http://doom.wikia.com/wiki/Doom_clones?file=Doom_clone_vs_fi...

Scala's runtime is so big that it doesn't leave much room except for toy apps on Android.

I would love to see that happen. Low earth orbit solves the latency problem with satellites, and reusable first stages (as well as potentially piggy-backing on other launches) may solve the cost problem. What about space on the wireless spectrum though? My understanding is that it's pretty full. It seems like SpaceX will either need to use something completely different (like laser transmission) or make a deal for use of some of the spectrum.

Speaking of LLVM's "modular" architecture ; LLVM's architecture is so modular that projects like the Rust compiler or Emscripten use their own modified forks of the LLVM tree ...

What's the point in being "modular", if you can't add a backend nor a frontend without having to clone-and-modify the whole LLVM tree?
(And what if I want to compile Rust to Javascript? Which of these incompatible LLVM branches should I use?)
The title is hyperbole. Rather that being impossible to search at all, the problem is that "the 'before:YYYY/MM/DD' and 'after:YYYY/MM/DD' terms have stopped working, and it also appears to no longer be possible to search by date."

That said, Google's web interface to Usenet has always been garbage compared to the standalone news readers of even 20 years ago. I've long wondered when the day would come that Google stopped seeing it worth their bother to maintain their Usenet archive. Hopefully when that day comes they'll donate it to a more capable institution.
This makes me want to ask the question if teaching children complex activities very early is pointless because they have not developed the neurological wiring in their brains at the early stages of development to make learning math and reading at a complex level worth while. At what point to children start to understand abstract concepts?

I always thought the greatest thing a parent can do with a child is to read to them, Dr. Seuss. That does not mean teaching children to read before they are ready positively effects them.

Damage to the vagus nerve is potentially implicated. Low vagal tone could mean anything, such as damage to the vagus nerve from other sources or stress caused by the illness itself, rather than the other way around.

The problem with a diagnosis of stress is that no one lives a stress-free life, and identifying triggers that have have possibly caused a stress-induced illness is a guessing game. Unless there is a clearly defined link or test that can pinpoint that the exact cause of an illness was stress induced, it should be a diagnosis of extreme last resort. You could send someone on a wild goose chase, what with going to CBT sessions, counselors and psychiatrists, only causing them more stress as their condition continues to deteriorate.

> Do you realize that there are several religions that hold this exact tenet? And that it's one of the central tenets of Rastafari?

A central tenet of rastafari is to abstain from antibiotic raised meat? Can you cite a source on this?

Even if this is true, why do you think that the religious beliefs of this or other religions holds any sort of sway over people who are not in those religions? For example, you do realize that it is a core religious tenet of the Westboro Baptist Church and many other Christian religions that homosexuals will burn in hell, but this doesn't mean it is true... in fact most educated people would argue that hell doesn't even exist.

If BitFury resolved a single doublespend transaction differently from the "main" blockchain, people would(/should) realize that it now has the power to cancel transactions, and stop trusting bitcoin ASAP. At that point you can no longer trust the blockchain, since you can no longer know you're looking at the "true" blockchain, and not a fake one that has been presented to you to make you do something (e.g. pay someone real money).

I think the reason why not use SSE right now is pretty clear.
I remember as a child thinking 1 Infinite Loop would be a dream place to spend my long working days. When I finally got to work there, it originally was. Plenty of parking and Caffe Mac's was pretty premium lunch for what I was used to. Then the company exploded and parking was a nightmare. (They added a valet to cope with the problem.)

To eat lunch required standing in long lines no matter what time you went. San Jose/Cupertino had pretty ridiculous rules about buildings being set back from the highways, so the nearest sushi place required quite a hike across several parking lots and a highway to get to.

Also friends that got moved around would be shuffled to remote campuses that seemed so far away with disconnected transportation.

Not saying any of this would be better in a denser city like SF, but I am saying there were definitely tradeoffs to working in what was basically just another office park. As traffic in the bay has gotten worse, it makes them seem less appealing for sure unless you're okay with moving every time you get a new job.

Right now I work and live in the city, so I just walk to work and it's been a dream come true. When friends leave to other city jobs, its easy to meet back up for lunch and coworkers and I can hop on Muni when want to try a new place for lunch. Not perfect by any means, but right now it's way more of an appealing working environment.

> Holding the government to such optimistic standards is blatantly a straw man

No, it isn't. From wikipedia:

"A straw man is a common form of argument and is an informal fallacy based on giving the impression of refuting an opponent's argument, while actually refuting an argument which was not advanced by that opponent."

> I challenge your assertion you avoid antibiotic animal products altogether - an impractical and unverifiable way to discourage the use of antibiotics

I'm arguing for government regulation -- I agree that regulating yourself is an impractical and unverifiable way to discourage the use of anitbiotics, as is discontinuing the consumption of meat for the same purpose.

> Shaming isn't necessary

Again, the same thing I'm saying -- glad we could agree with each other.

This study does not have the numbers of participants to do this analysis. Even if it did you can’t rule out that to be diagnosed with GAD you need a certain IQ or that the higher your IQ the more likely the diagnosis given the underlying condition.

There is an interesting reversal of this effect with schizophrenia. In order to be diagnosed with schizophrenia you have to have social or occupational dysfunction [1] (effectively not be able to care for yourself). You can be completely delusional, but if you are able to care for yourself then you are not considered to have schizophrenia. People with a high IQ you are often able to look after themselves while delusional much more effectively than people with a low IQ and so not meet the DSM criteria. The underlying biology maybe identical, but the diagnosis is different.
