There's a lot of good info here as well as some misinformation. As a fellow anxiety sufferer this is all too familiar.

In medicine there an idea of Virchow's_triad [0]. Either there's something wrong with your blood, the blood vessel walls became injured or there is abnormal blood flow.

In young people and even 34 is fairly young. Blood clots aren't all that common. Even in long haul air travel the risk is so much higher in the elderly, obese and those who have had recent surgery.

What I am trying to bring up here is there are other factors that could be at play other than stasis. Could Gavan have bumped his leg into something and not even noticed? Could he have a genetic component that leads to increased clotting? Usually in these cases there is a lot of follow up. Usually the person is put on blood thinners if there's a legitimate cause. Or maybe he really is just so unhealthy that he got a bloodclot all while walking 3 miles a day. I know if I emailed my doctor right now and asked her about this. She would get back to me and tell me that this is a very rare rare case. Usually just getting up to go get a drink every now and then or to go to the bathroom is enough to recalibrate pressure in your lower legs. Many people don't walk 3 miles a day, especially in suburbia. Some do though. I guess I am saying is a lot of people sit a lot. A lot of people don't walk 3 miles per day and something specific to Gavan's physiology may be at play here.

What we can do though is take this as a warning call and thank Gavan for sharing with us. It certainly woke me up a bit more.

* Drink a lot of water.

* Don't eat a lot of sugar.

* Stand when you can. If you have a standing desk. Great.

* Get up and take breaks when you can. Set a reminder. I get up every hour.

* At lunch get out and go for a walk.

* Try to hit the 10k steps per day.

There's also a tool we can use to access the likelihood of DVT. It's the very same tool Primary care doctors will use and it's called the Well's criteria. Here's a interactive calculator http://www.mdcalc.com/wells-criteria-for-dvt/

You should read up on it if interested. There's also the "Primary Care Rule for DVT" http://www.aafp.org/afp/2011/1215/p1417.html

Though for this one you need to have a D-Dimer taken which is a blood test.

That's ensuring the compiler obeys some behaviors of an ANSI C compiler when debugging in MS Visual Studio. That strikes me as the kind of practice that would improve determinism. The explanation is given on the line before your quote.

That said, I can't believe this exists in the wild.

> I just apologized to the German kid.

It's a pity your apology makes it seem like you simply referred to the Nazis without knowing he was German, when you actually specifically blamed him and every other (white) German ("you guys") for what the Nazis did, because he said he was in Germany.

> FWIW, only ElComradio was engaging with me in an actual discussion there, and his replies are reasonable, but I am thoroughly downvoted anyway, so how's that for evidence of a hivemind?

Out of five posts in that discussion, you have one post that is white. I wouldn't call that "thoroughly downvoted".
I find it odd to not talk about the effects of minimum wage compared to cost of living in the area. I am from Indiana. It is common for people to take paycuts when they move to the area - the basis being that in most of the places, the cost of living is quite a bit lower (metro areas, especially chicago, aside). Many places have headquarters in mid-sized hub towns of 40-60k people. Sometimes people are quite happy because it lets them live pretty comfortably at the top without costing as much money. Moving to a coast for a payraise and then moving back can grant an overall lifestyle and payraise.

Yet minimum wage is the same in the midwest as it is other places, sometimes lower. Most of the available jobs are in the minimum - $13/hr zone. Had it not been for federal regulation, I speculate it would have stayed around the $5/hour zone. When minimum wage rises in Indiana, only those legally affected tend to get a raise. We get told that it theoretically isn't supposed to work that way. It really has lessened the gap between workers and management because they don't tend to get any raises, unless they are lucky enough to get a cost of living or performance raise each year.
Two things come to my mind.

If you live under a regime that looks for dissenters in social networks, encryption will protect the message but not yourself: you'll stand out and they can come and ask you about the content of your messages. I won't feel much safer. They probably already know your contacts anyway.

What if you encrypt locally outside the browser and paste the ciphertext into FB? Are they going to block your account? Incidentally that would increase your security because you'll be forced to use more secure communication channels.
Car free city centers sound like a good idea.

I wonder if the success Ljubljana has already had is making them arrogant and foolish, though. That "zero waste" strategy sounds like extremism to me. I'm not saying recycling is bad, but is it really necessary to be so extreme about it?

Also, I wonder about the privacy implications of that "smart card" that is being used to check out bikes, pay transit fares etc. Do you have to use your real name and address in order to get it? Does this mean that every single trip that you make is stored in some central database?

The NFL's magic yellow line, explained [video]
As a non-American I am less than qualified to provide an answer, but one possible hypothesis is Race and ethnicity.
The midwest has according to Wikipedia with 79% the highest Non-Hispanic White ratio of any region.[1] As Blacks have the highest rate of poverty 27%, followed by Hispanics 25% compared to 10% for non-Hispanic Whites. [2]
Income equality might be explained by having less poor people.

A follow up hypothesis would be that racial homogeneity might lead to less ghettoisation resulting in less competition for the lowest paying jobs. One might feel less compelled to pay only the lowest possible wage if one can relate to the other person, by race, neighbourhood, etc.

Now, as to why Blacks and Hispanics have higher poverty rates; one explanation may be that the American social system relies very heavily on both parents present (and working) for a child to grow up in an advantageous situation. This is something I have observed to a much lesser extend in more socialist societies in Europa. And famously in all but 11 states, most black children do not live with both parents. In every state, 7 in 10 white children do. [3]

Thanks. I don't know if you mean edit posts I've made (which AFAICS is not possible) or future posts, before posting, but I agree, polite, respectful posts mean better signal to noise, and I'll try not to slip into bad habits.

I hope it's still possible to disagree, argue or take a negative position towards someone's post or argument without it necessarily being taken as personal or uncivil though.
Is this taking account full occupancy? If the flight is only 70% booked, wouldn't the fuel surcharge per passenger by higher?
A lot of CCTV footage of violence shows initial verbal altercation that turns physical. The perpetrators abandon words due to lack of verbal skills and general violent drunk or 'gangsta-wanna-be' nature. Victims too, often miss the opportunity to walk away, misreading the situation by running their mouths.

Street smart is about reading the situation, like defensive driving. 3AM Sunday morning as you walk home, awareness of you surroundings at all times is smart - also fun and challenging and just good way to be. Doesn't have to mean "guard up", it just means not careless.
Some of the most engaging experiences, outside of normal game play, in WoW was writing robots that would evade human detection. I spent a lot of time observing and implementing human behavior to make sure it seemed like the character was a quiet player. Such as going AFK during meal times so an imaginary player could make a sandwich. Other simple improvements were allowing the pathing to deviate from set points instead of trying to follow a precise line.
Also similar in concept is the tup build system which monitors rule commands run to gain knowledge of additional dependencies.

Tor means they can sneak through state-level internet blocks and surveillance. Once they're on Facebook, they're (ostensibly) obeying their Real Name policy, so Facebook knows who they are. Their Tor support doesn't protect their identity or communications from Facebook itself, other than obscuring their IP address.

Encrypted chats, on the other hand, treats Facebook itself as untrusted. It lets people use Facebook without Facebook knowing exactly what they're up to.
I think NFS often gets an undue bad reputation. I work at a company which uses NFS at scale and it does the job without too much trouble. NFS is used as the storage for vmware datastores, xen primary storage and also for shared storage mounted between servers.

For the latter case, the mounting of these partitions can be automated with config management on the linux servers. You have to be careful with UID's and GID's but config management helps with this.

The filers supplying the NFS storage can be exploited to provide replication to other datacenters,snapshots and also provide redundancy with multiple heads serving the volumes.

In the past I've used Fibre channel ( found it overly complex) and iSCSI. iSCSI was fairly straight forward to use, but I've never tried to automate it. I guess there isn't a reason you couldn't however. For complexity I guess its Fibre>iSCSI>NFS.

Performance wise we don't have any issues with NFS itself, the bottleneck is sometimes the filer trying to keep up :-)

Anyhow, in complex environments, sometimes its good to keep things simple where you can. NFS helps with that, its stable, scalable and the performance is comparable to iSCSI.

Removing the need for shared storage on the OS where possible is the ultimate aim though.
Next Draft is awesome! I've been reading it for almost 4 years, and its one of my primary sources of general news. He limits it to ten stories a day, and his curation is excellent. I find myself looking forward to clicking through it everyday.
I am talking about things being repeated over and over again, far more than just a couple of times.

And the only thing organisations are lacking is sanity. The rest is trivial, proven many times. I will regard all of them as lowly and stupid, because this is what they are.

See my rant elsewhere in this thread - this stupid world is full of examples of idiots in charge.

Are you trying to convince me that the morons who designed Oyster are not morons and I should not judge them? No way. They are scum. Should not I judge the deranged NHS bosses? No way! I'd be delighted to see them beheaded, no less. Their incompetence cost human lives.

And I hate it when people are trying to play down the stupidity of others. In my book there is no sin worse than stupidity and incompetence.

Won't you deny that most of the idiots out there cannot code at all, although they call themselves "developers"?

See even the high profile apps for Android for example. Say, "BBC News". Millions had been spent on it. And this shit locks when internet connection is lost. Don't the retards who wrote it commute on a tube? Don't they know how to code asynchronous UIs?

And don't let me even start ranting about the British Gas "Hive" thingy.

The spread of the ignorance and stupidity in this world is unforgivable. And I won't ever be polite to the stupid and ignorant. They're worthless and they deserve the most harsh criticism possible.
Rich Hickey had about four lispy prototype languages before he set on the design on Clojure, it didn't spawn fully formed from his head. I think that's a sobering thought.
> I have rationalized it with the “wealth before health”

Good to have recognized this cultural jedi mind trick for what it is.

It seems to me that the ultimate investments are not in bank accounts but the health and well being of ourselves and those around us. This is built up out of a million near-invislbe things in daily life, that could never be bought later on.
You are correct - there are so many factors to consider, and I am by no means an expert and would definitely accept being wrong in any given area. The general advice that I can give, that will probably keep a person healthier than not, is to exercise, eat well, and not sit for too long. This goes beyond just DVTs - this is advice for living long in general. :) Even outside of clots, sitting is shown to severely cut back the benefits of exercise (although like all studies, this should be taken with a grain of salt as well). 66 percent of studies are wrong, as they say. The reverse advice goes as well - you should not stand all the time either - this is shown to have adverse effects as well.

And as a minor additional note - my 1-3 miles of walking tends more often towards the low end of that range (especially when I am in a rush to get work done), although I do randomly take longer walks (sometimes as far as 5 miles).
I don't disagree with you. However the article does bring up a topic that isn't discussed that often yet.

Where do the loyalties of naturalized US (and Canadian) citizens truely lie? I feel that this was less of an issue until the US began allowing dual citizenships i.e. you no longer have to renounce citizenship from your country of origin in order to become a US citizen / you can become a citizen of another country and still be a US citizen. On the surface, you'd expect this to be simple; these individuals would be most loyal to the US... As a naturalized US citizen of Chinese descent, I've had some interesting conversations with other naturalized US citizens of Chinese descent that would show that it's more complicated than that.

I'm not sure how, but the topic of "what would happen if China and the US ever declared war on each other?" came up. To my surprise, the other naturalized Chinese Americans told me that they would be conflicted as to who they would support. For context, these are educated people with post-grad degrees from places like Berkeley with occupations to match. They also seem completely naturalized with accents that would fool people into thinking they were born and raised here. The kicker is that neither person was born or raised in China but each grew up in some Southeast Asian country, yet they're essentially comtemplating treason solely due to their race. I found it strange. Since what I have is just anecdotal, I'm guessing (and hoping) that most naturalized US citizens are way more loyal than that and I feel that Chinese Americans born and raised in the US don't have this issue at all. Still I have a feeling that this is probably only going to get worse when you have stuff like birth tourism happening i.e. You get US citizens who spend most of their lives in a foreign country resulting in loyalties to that foreign country

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/05/01/china-us-birth-tour...

To be fair, China isn't the only country related to this issue. I could be wrong but the US probably has the same problem with dual citizenships involving Russia, Israel, Turkey, or any other country that isn't 100% aligned with US interests

Of course, this has a fix. Just don't allow dual citizenships in the US. Force people to choose.

> This is irrelevant. The problem is that those affected phones could still have had compromised fingerprint sensors.

... which wouldn't be used after the phone determines it's an aftermarket part. Equally well the attacker may have installed a malicious piece of brick inside.

> Apple did the right thing in protecting people from this

Sure, they protected users from using phone with replaced home button and disabled fingerprint scanner by bricking the phone completely.

Hard to tell in what proportions malice and/or stupidity were involved in this case, but either way it wasn't "doing the right thing".

Recycling culture is on the level of San Francisco, I would say. I had no idea Ljubljana is recycling 2/3 of trash (if there is extremism, it must be in the sorting facility somewhere, because it isn't felt).

The RFID card (Urbana) is similar to Clipper/CharlieCard/MetroCard/Oyster/... You can buy it anonymously and use it, or you can link it to your identity (required for discounted passes e.g. student, or if you want to be able to reclaim balance in case of loss). Nothing special here, except that it's maybe accepted for bikes/parking as well.

Yeah, true, I wouldn't recommend MDMA when drunk.

But after a couple of beers, fine though. Or even after a shot of tequila and a beer chaser, and maybe even another shot and another beer, even then some E would go down nicely!

But I was referring more to a possible world where if drugs other than alcohol were legal, we'd see less blind drunk people causing problems. Can't wait for the stats to come out of USA for how pot legalization influences alcohol related crime and health issues. I suppose we'll need more time for those stats to come in.
Yes, exactly! Trying to understand why this happens is a very active area of research.

Depends what they hedged at.
Oddly enough, I've spent some time working on "white-box" tests that check the log. It takes taste to do well: you have to be careful to log what your program figures out about the domain, rather than just random details. Done right, I find it actually helps refactoring. My unit tests now usually call some top-level function rather than just the sub-component they test. As a result I can make radical changes, like going to client-server or from sync to async, without having to change any tests.

100% sure. Chinese society is quite racist (I'm talking about the country China, not the race). I'm not sure what you think a single example of a villager (who I'm sure faces discrimination based on his skin color) shows.

YQ surcharges are just another element an airline can choose to muck with to bump up or down the ticket price. As an end user I wouldn't bother reading anything into it - the total price is the total price regardless of how the airline choose to break it out.

The interesting part from the carrier point of view relates to how an airline prorates out the total amount collected in codeshare or interline agreements, and whether corporate discounted fares offered apply to the YQ portion or not (hint they usually don't) and whether all governments have caught up in taxing these in the same manner as a regular fares. I would think of it as a construct for creative accounting more than anything else.
