> I have never read anything that suggests that photon collisions would lead to annihilation.

You may at least have heard that a particle antiparticle collision can lead to the production of two photons. Viewed in reverse this would be two photons annihilating and producing a particle antiparticle pair.

Since the laws of physics work equally well in reverse two photons must therefore be able to annihilate.

There are some good reasons why email clients do modify HTML: security is one, but they also have to make sure malformed HTML can't break the rest of the page.
There are also reasons why they don't publish clear documentation on what they do to it, but this mostly means huge headaches for anyone who tries to create HTML email.
I know they are for embedded systems and sorry if "funny" offended you, but I keep hearing these companies tell me how good their ARM, MIPS, POWER are going to be in my server then they ship embedded specific boards. I can go buy a Intel or AMD board for a PC and write / port software. I'm still waiting for the same from other manufactures. This is one reason I'm really not sold on the ARM server boards since every company makes it a pain in the rear to buy one.

Good, so now it's clear that Daily Mail really just retells the article from July 2014.

Regarding experiment from 2015, they never "split" the electron as such, they just claim to observe some "temporal" "partial" excitations in their setup. Which surely can be something interesting, but there's also a lot of work done before

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractionalization

"Laughlin proposed a fluid of fractional charges in 1983" etc

"Fractional charges continue to be active topic in condensed matter physics."

It's not that the single particle is actually being split, even if it appears so. That's why there's talk about "quasiparticles" and "fractional charges."

>, if an Afro-French cannot find a job, surely it would be be advantageous to hire him, at a slightly lower market price

In some countries doing that is illegal. If the authorities notice that you are paying people of different races different amounts of money, you can get fined. Therefore it's easier to just find excuses to not hire them in the first place.

Is France one of those countries?
Looks like the comments here are all over the place on how much of an impact it has, but I'll give you my perspective as a hispanic in the US.

Race is intimately tied with culture, which impacts your upbringing and interests. People form bonds over their interests and experiences, like talking about their childhood or the TV/music they like--the more these differ, the harder it is to form that first superficial work bond. Even when the differences aren't huge, it compounds enough that friend groups in the US are highly self-segregated.

To pick another race, it's not rare to see Asian-Americans who were born and raised in America hanging out with a group of friends who are all Asian-American. The reasons could be as simple as bonding over the foods they ate growing up, the ways their parents raised them, and the TV shows / music they listened to (e.g. much more open to C-/J-/K-pop). It's the same effect for all races/ethnicities I've seen.

Note that this ignores the more subtle but still important effect of people naturally liking people who look and dress like them, which has obvious racial and cultural ties too. For example, there are studies in the US that show that white people are fine living near black people, but not too many black people. Overtime, simulations show[1] that almost any definition of too many results in self-segregation.

IME coming from a working class background, economic background has a similar effect on relationships, but economic background is not visually obvious like race so it's less discussed.

Like you, I am a co-owner of a bootstrapped, profitable, conservatively managed technology company. I am happy to have built what I have. But I can't find a whit of pleasure at the prospect of a disastrous reversal in private technology financing. There are a lot -- a lot -- of bad deals receiving favorable financing from out-of-touch or non-traditional institutionals. That's true. And painful but non-combustive reversals are part of the functioning of markets, sure.

But SV remains the one place in the world where smart investors with genuine science and technology backgrounds are willing to play the long game with entrepreneurs. I spend a lot of time in London and New York. The generally hidebound nature of their investment cultures, which make perfect sense when you're doing an Exotic Pet Vet Tax-Free Rollup, or a Midwest Refrigerated Storage Debt-Chummed Dividend Fête, would never have made a bet on Google, Oracle, Nvidia, PayPal, Oculus, to take a few at random.

So while there are a good dozen $1b liquidation preference-cap companies that are fundamentally silly, wishing for a tidal reversal in private tech funding isn't a good idea. VC qua asset class is important.

Yes, a lot of these let's call them `assembler hacks' were true at one time in the x86 32 bit era but are probably not true now. Also, the x86 processor market is quite big now from Pentiums and Core Ms and Core Is and AMD and god knows who else. There used to be assembler books that could teach you all this in the 32 bit era, do these exist for the 64 bit era. It's been a while since I did any low-level bit twiddling.

Yep, there is really no other book like Harrell. There's a 2015 edition with some good improvements too. Definitely not an introduction, though – it assumes you already know how regression works and preferably have already used it quite a bit in practice. For an introduction, I might recommend Downey's Think Stats [1] for a gentle introduction, Kutner's Applied Linear Statistical Models for a more traditional, mathy introduction or Gelman and Hill's Data Analysis Using Regression and Multilevel/Hierarchical [2] for something in-depth but still very approachable.

It's obvious that they are not a far right wing propaganda org, yes. And undoubtedly they lean to the left. Calling them progressive propaganda is disingenuous, though.

As for interviewing only progressive minority members, I'm not sure that's true. I feel like you're pushing this as a fact with no data to back it up. I mean, if they're interviewing someone from the black lives matter movement, it's probably going to be a progressive black person. But I also recall them interviewing Latinos in Florida opposed to lifting the Cuban embargoes.

I agree firewalls and NAT are a nuisance, and today's internet is not one iota as cool as the BBS days. The nuisances introduced by "ISPs" have hindered but in the long run have not stopped reliable peer to peer internet. I will not name the commonly known examples lest it divert the conversation.

There are a variety of workarounds for dealing with firewalls and NAT, and after years of using them "experimentally", I can attest that they work reliably, at least for me. Some of them are well-known, some of them are commonly used, others are not.

If IP addresses assigned to so-called "reliably reached" servers were as static as you imply in practice, there would be little need for a mechanism like DNS. (And I'm not saying there is, just pointing out that there are a lot of folks who believe IP addresses must be able to change without notice.)

In my experience, domestic internet connections with "dynamic" IP addresses are "reliable enough" to do some "useful" things besides simply partaking in the "calf-cow" web.

We wrote a couple docs about regression. I'd be curious to get folks' feedback.

Guide itself: http://docs.statwing.com/user-friendly-guide-to-regression/

Perhaps more interestingly to a lot of folks in this crowd, a guide to interpreting residuals: http://docs.statwing.com/interpreting-residual-plots-to-impr...

One valid critique is that the approach we describe is not super rigorous, there's more "add a variable and see if it sticks" and "explore a bunch of bivariate relationships to decide what to include" then you'd want to do if you were publishing a paper on your findings. To our minds, though, this approach is more realistic for the use cases we're more concerned about, like analyzing an ad hoc survey. You can always consider your results to be exploratory and then validate later. (Note that these docs occasionally refer to Statwing, our product, but really could be used for any tool).

Criticism is welcome.

Absolutely. In our case, it's a non-fit because of the client-side content generation via JS (our apps are more akin to desktop/mobile apps with a monolithic JS app). But, if you already generate most of the HTML/CSS from the back-end and just sprinkle in some JS here and there, then you can certainly do a hybrid approach, like you suggest.
Again, not powerline ethernet.

You can create a custom connector for your power plug (power plug to device) with 40-ish pins that make all the individual wires go through one cable (2 pins for power, 8 for ethernet, 10 for USB, 19 for HDMI, and I am sure there are synergies).

Then the power supply has an ethernet socket, USB socket, etc, and all your accessories (printer, TV, etc) are connected to the power supply instead of connected to the device.

The surface dock does effectively that, except that I suspect they only pass a USB3 wire along the power, and have a USB switch inside the dock, and that ethernet goes over USB instead of directly.

I've got multiple physical egress points and multiple upstream providers so I do most of our monitoring myself. My home office (I work remotely) and phone -- the two places I receive alerts -- are both "off-net" so I've been looking for something simple and lightweight to "monitor the monitor" (and perhaps another important host or two) from outside the network.

I went to the Product Overview page, scrolled down, saw the pricing, and closed the tab. Perhaps I didn't learn enough about the product's features in the short amount of time I was on the site but the pricing just seems outrageous to me.

Edited to add background info: I'm evaluating alternatives to my current monitoring application, Opsview, which runs entirely from a single internal server. I'm looking for something that can be split across multiple servers in multiple sites (directly connected) so that I can monitor the (primary) monitoring system and be alerted if it is having issues (e.g. "A" monitors "B", "B" monitors "A").

Beside by mosquito, apparently it can also be transmitted sexually:
"In 2009, Brian Foy, a biologist from the Arthropod-borne and Infectious Diseases Laboratory at Colorado State University, sexually transmitted the Zika virus to his wife. He visited Senegal to study mosquitoes and was bitten on a number of occasions. A few days after returning to the United States, he fell ill with Zika, but not before having had unprotected intercourse with his wife. She subsequently showed symptoms of Zika infection with extreme sensitivity to light. Foy is the first person known to have passed on an insect-borne virus to another human by sexual contact.

In 2015, Zika virus RNA was detected in the amniotic fluid of two fetuses, indicating that it crossed the placenta and could cause fetal infection. On 20 January 2016, scientists from the state of Paraná, Brazil, detected genetic material of Zika virus in the placenta of a woman, who had undergone an abortion due to the fetus' microcephaly, which confirmed that the virus is able to pass the placenta."

That's just one example of the kind of crackpot ideas they come out with, but it's one you might be able to relate to. Needless to say, it's not an idea Putin would entertain.

>What's more likely - that a State Duma deputy and a KGB and Federal Protective Service member is a part of some fringe extremist group (that has access to radioactive materials), or that Kremlin's siloviki (whom Putin is a part of, himself) have pulled some strings?

I see both as roughly equally likely (wanting to invade Alaska is a fringe extremist position, no?). I certainly don't think Putin is implicated with cast iron evidence here, which seems to be your position.

Also if you don't see anything suspicious about this:

>The conclusions of this inquiry are stronger than many expected in pointing the finger at Vladimir Putin personally. The evidence behind that seems to have come from secret intelligence heard in closed session.

Or this:

>The report stresses that its conclusions are based on many witness opinions that “would not be admissible as evidence”

You're an idiot.
