According to Wikipedia the comprehensive metabolic panel is a series of 14 tests:

"The tests are performed on machines based on the AutoAnalyzer invented in 1957."

Is there some reason that this should cost $300 58 years later? No Moore's Law in medicine?
I have no clue why there hasn't been much talk about this. Or is it that the people who know are busy monetizing this information?

Or there's legacy code slapped together years ago that's gone through a whole bunch of "my personal methodology" contractors, each of which has added another layer of nonsense and NIH madness, until you're left with a huge and brutally complex system that almost no-one understands, is a brain-melting nightmare to follow, and is impossible to change without constant failure.

Seems to just be based on passenger numbers, according to the boxes that appear if you hover on a station they are:

Small: Less than 100,000

Medium: 100,000 to 5,000,000

Large: 5,000,000+

An unstaffed station local to me went from small to medium over the maps period and it hasn't had any major work done.

> world readable ... there was a culture where people expected friends to look at them

Same here. The default user home from /etc/skel (or some equivalent) had a user-access-only area that we were told to put sensitive work (individually marked projects where we were explicitly expected/told not to collaborate on) and other such into. We could protect other directories a little more too if needed, or even open up bits of that one to "group" or "other" (at our own risk) and there were specific groups setup for explicitly collaborative projects (these days I would do away with that and control such collaboration through git or its ilk).
Finally someone mentions this. Wikipedia has all the imformation on this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intrinsically_photosensitive_r...

It's because we have special photosensitive cells in the sides of our eyes that only see blue light. They're not part of the vision, they only regulate the circadian rhythm. So all this talk of white light is uninformed. You only need blue light.
Am I reading the code correctly...two actors meet, pool their "wealth" or some portion of it and then that pot is redistributed in some way?

I guess it's interesting to simulate this to get a feel for how such a market system would work. It would be interesting to play around with a rudimentary system of taxation. Maybe something as simple as "take 10% from each pot and evenly distribute it among the poorest actors currently around" as a starting point.

Maybe it's because I randomly got interested in the French Liberals and am reading through "Economic Harmonies" but I'd be very interested in a model of "island economics". With a number of actors that have a list of preferences of items and only exchange if both are better of according to their list. In my mind it escalates quickly because I want to add the need to eat, production etc.
Rape convictions in England have dropped. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-27726280 http://www.channel4.com/news/rape-convictions-myths-why-so-l...

Rape convictions in England are lower than the rest of Europe.

Rape is a very serious criminal offence in England.

http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2003/42/part/1/crosshead...

There's a potential life sentence for rape. The minimum recommended sentence for rape (if the victim is over 16; if the offender doesn't ejaculate or make the victim ejaculate; if infection or pregnancy is avoided; if it was a single instance of rape; if there was no other violence) is 5 years.

http://www.cps.gov.uk/legal/s_to_u/sentencing_manual/s1_rape...

http://www.cps.gov.uk/legal/p_to_r/rape_and_sexual_offences/...

We have little bits of research showing juries are reluctant to sentence someone to 5 years if the victim was drunk, and if the victim and offender knew each other.

From the above guidelines:

> Mitigating:

> Victim engaged in consensual sexual activity with the offender on the same occasion and immediately before the offence

The bits of research we have show that it's very hard to prosecute this type of rape and that juries are reluctant to convict. Everybody agrees that sexual activity happened, but they disagree about consent. Perhaps the victim and offender were both drunk.

Asking jurors questions about the trial they were involved in is not legal in England, so jury research is tricky. Some people have run fake trials, and asked those fake jurors. Even in the fake trials they saw jurors didn't want to convict some rapists if the victim and offender knew each other and there was no other violence.
Right.

Very true. I actually paid 400$ for an XRGB mini video upscaler not mainly because it could convert the output from 240p or 480i to 1080p, but because it can also add scanlines which actually reduces precision by a lot.

Yet it increases quality because these games were back then developed to work best with old CRT TVs that could only show interlaced video.

> there is no need (and no justification) to draw attention to Theranos's founder's looks.

When there's a possibility that she dresses in a certain way in order to subconsciously convince people that she's a maverick visionary, or when she lacks that intent but it probably had that effect, I think it's justified (but not needed). And a defined masculine jaw would probably help you raise money, just like it helps you get dates.

Why not prefer native apps to webapps? Better performance, a better fit into the OS's look-and-feel, and ability to interface with other OS-wide features such as accessibility and automation etcetera.

Although, Soundnode doesn't seem to be a true native app, as others have pointed out.
I'm guessing based on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcendental_number that what the author in-consistently refers to as "p" (though, later there is a reference to "e or pi" - is actually pi, or π - I don't think I've ever seen pi referred to as "p" - anybody care to hazard a guess as to why the author did so?

I don't see why a factor of chance makes a game unworthy. We want to learn for real life from games, and real life is full of chance. And there are strategies for dealing with chance, like hedging your bets.

For Monopoly, mathematicians have worked out winning strategies. I think it has to do with a high chance of people landing in jail and the odds of landing on fields when starting from jail.
I've been maintaining for a while that Theranos is a very cynical investment vehicle, and has little to do with medicine. The backgrounds of those connected, of her family, of the trajectory and direction of the company (everything has been very PR and financial press oriented) suggests that their key mission is to grow the value of the company, rather than do anything novel.

The sad thing is, this seems to be an increasingly common strategy in a certain segment of the business world, and it brings value to nobody ultimately - it just separates optimistic investors who just see a wunderkind and incredible new technology from their money.

I haven't checked Soundnode App yet, but any attempt to sanitize the way you interact with SoundCloud should be appreciated, because SC web UX is bad.

Soundnode App UI looks nice. I'd add screenshot for each main view on app's home page, even if they're all similar, though. UX remains to be tested.

The only (apparent?) downside is that this app seems to be a bundled web app with web browser. I'm not that fond of such solutions. But. If it wasn't open source and GitHub page wasn't shown there, then there is a high chance I would not notice that it's built like that, at least from screenshot alone.

Writing SoundCloud client is on my ToDo list, as it would be a good way to brush up and enhance my Qt skills. Maybe I'd finally embrace QML along the way, as I'm postponing QML tinkering for far too long I guess. I'm also considering fiddling with PyQt5, as it could possibly quicken prototyping, but I'm not sure about it in my case, as I have only minor Python experience and no PyQt experience at all (well, it's like incentive to change that). There is also SoundCloud python package, so going python way is quite tempting, but I always prefer native compiled apps over scripted ones.

> Dedicating works to the public domain is difficult if not impossible for those wanting to contribute their works for public use before applicable copyright or database protection terms expire. Few if any jurisdictions have a process for doing so easily and reliably. Laws vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction as to what rights are automatically granted and how and when they expire or may be voluntarily relinquished. More challenging yet, many legal systems effectively prohibit any attempt by these owners to surrender rights automatically conferred by law, particularly moral rights, even when the author wishing to do so is well informed and resolute about doing so and contributing their work to the public domain

CC0 is a universal instrument that is not adapted to the laws of any particular legal jurisdiction, similar to many open source software licenses. And while no tool, not even CC0, can guarantee a complete relinquishment of all copyright and database rights in every jurisdiction, we believe it provides the best and most complete alternative for contributing a work to the public domain given the many complex and diverse copyright and database systems around the world.

I tried to support accq's point that Einstein's "schema violation" was a joke compared to what's happening in case of Syrian refugees mentioned by the article.

Those people migrate between vastly different cultures and relating their experience to Einstein's doesn't make sense.

And I think you can't really compare Syria with Nazi Germany either. Nazi Germany was a government gone rogue, while in Muslim cultures, for some reason, the kind of stuff I mentioned is just the way things are and have always been.
I'll hazard a guess that the complaints mainly come from people in graduate programs for which the most realistic "good job" that actually uses the course subject matter is a tenured teaching position.

I mean, the high competition for adjunct positions seems to be evidence that many post-graduate students want to teach the subject matter that they've learned.
This tool might be helpful if you are regularly searching for the same phrases and make aliases to, for example, `s "what is the weather"`.

For regular interactive usage this would actually hamper your productivity because you type "s", a space, eventually a starting quote, the phrase without autocompletion, and an eventual ending quote, versus switching to a browser window and focusing over its location bar with two key shortcuts.
In the source you'll find every occurence of pi as

<span style='font-family:Symbol'>p</span>

Apparently the Symbol typeface has π as p: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbol_(typeface)#Encoding. I guess that ones who has the correct font installed will see the expected character.
Yup that is spot on. My company wouldn't act as a guarantor for me so the only way to get a rental contract was to pay an additional $800 (and $100 per year after) for a special company to act as my guarantor. This is with a good salary and pay stubs to match.

Don't even get me started on the rental company that takes a 1 month rent cut... or 2-3 months rent for "key money"... or ...
>It is/was played there, but not exclusively.

I don't think the author ever implied that tarock or Lederhosen were exclusive to Vienna, but that both were common there at the time, so Freud acquired both to fit in. I think you're reading too much into the text.
Suboxone for heroin addicts is like benzodiazepines for alcohol withdrawal. It should only be used in the initial withdrawal period for a short period of time.

The proper protocol is to substitute the short-acting heroin for the longer half-life Suboxone. This stabilizes the blood levels, thereby eliminating inter-dose withdrawal symptoms.

The dose is supposed to be titrated to zero over a few weeks. Otherwise you'll just end up swapping on addiction for another.

It's a shame, because Buprenorphine is a really good medication when used properly.
It's hopeless. If they pay you poorly in the beginning they will almost never give you a raise to market when your skills advance. This is why it is important to negotiate aggressively when getting a new job.

The only time I got a 25% raise was when I negotiated it before I took the job. The deal was, raise me to market in 6 months or we decide it's not working out and we go our separate ways.
If it's crowdsourced, then in order to change the license you may have to go to every single contributor and ask for permission to change the license.

The Go garbage collector only concerns itself with memory allocated in Go, not with memory allocated in C-land. So, it doesn't move C objects. (C objects are typically freed using finalizers, or an explicit method call.)

Of course, moving can cause problems for Go pointers in C land, but keeping Go pointers beyond a cgo function call will be prohibited in Go 1.6:

A social state with equality principles
> While I think that every job should be able to support a person, at least when scaled up to full-time hours

I think it's widely accepted that any full-time job should be able to support a person. At the same time we want it to be possible for an employer to offer e.g. a 5hr/week position (which can be valuable to all kinds of underprivileged folk - those with health problems that make full-time work impossible, the elderly, teenagers - or as a second job for people in temporarily strained financial circumstances) without having to take on all the responsibilities of employing someone full-time. We've tried to implement policies that reflect that, but per the article we see e.g. universities limiting the number of hours that adjuncts work so that they aren't obliged to pay for healthcare.

The gap here is people have ended up putting together multiple part-time jobs so they're effectively working full-time. This is partly an unintended consequence of legislation, but it's not obvious to me how to fix it - if someone's working for six different employers, what responsibilities do each have? How do we make sure someone fired from five of their six jobs receives unemployment, without giving it to someone in full-time employment who gets fired from their minor side gig? (Much as I support basic income, that's not a politically realistic answer yet - so what are the practical policy steps we can do today to move in the right direction for these folks?)
> Austrian instincts are partly about [...]

Am I the only one who finds the word "instincts" used in this context deeply disturbing? We've got many well-intentioned people in history who acted according to their instincts and beliefs. Some of these invented and practiced eugenics, others tried to create an "agrarian communist society" while killing off some 2 million people in 4 years (I read about Khmer Rouge regime recently) and there are many, many more examples.

My question is: what is the difference between modern economics and, for example, eugenics? What protective mechanism have we created to make sure no economist attempts to make as all into farmers, killing off all the people who can read and write? Isn't "democracy" alone a bit weak as a guarantee here?

>That will keep the market flooded with artificially cheap Sharp products -- mobile phones, solar panels, air conditioners, printers, microwave ovens

Besides, as a domestic consumer, sharp products are not necessarily cheaper than competitor's offers. Nor do they seem less innovative. This is all from a consumer perspective, but while the bailouts are real, the "stop innovating and flood the market with cheap products" strategy the author describes just isn't there. Sharp is keeping the same Kaizen-style innovation, slightly improving their models every year. It's debatable whether these small improvement warrant buying a new model, but the same could be said for all of their competitors as well.
