Heroin is growing in use in the USA and Europe, but not where people think it is. I live in Allentown, PA a 120,000 city that outsiders consider to be a den of drugs. I grew up in Suburbia in Connecticut with the incredibly wealthy NYTimes headline in this article “Heroin in New England, More Abundant and Deadly.”. I saw so much more drugs with the rich kids then I do in my neighborhood. The local high school that released a letter stating that heroin is being abused and a string of over doses are claiming the lives was not my inner city school district but the richest school district in our area, Parkland.

My wife is from West Virginia and that place is unbelievable in the amount of heroin use. http://wvpublic.org/topic/needle-and-damage-done-west-virgin.... I am scared for my life all the time since I believe 20% of the people are high on something while driving.

I don't understand the draw but I can tell you that I can't trust my friends that got caught up in this stuff. They will steal and lie just to keep on this stuff. It is so sad to see after 20 years they still haven't beaten this beast even though they have spent tens of thousands of dollar on treatment and told that once beaten it stays dead unlike cocaine's psychological addiction.

After reading this article I have no idea where I sit concerning safe site or needle distribution centers or all the other treatments. I just feel bad for all the family and friends that are going to be hurt and abused due to this addiction cycle.
This looks like a chain of telephone that leads to exaggeration. There's no need for prose telling us that if we saw the behind-the-scenes of a porn shoot, then we'd never want to watch porn again. That's extremely unlikely.

If AirBNB wanted to quantify the risk of porn shoots, then they are in the best position for that kind of empiricism. The rest of us are speculating from very weak intuitions; just a bunch of posturing.

Japan is one of the worst countries for immigrating to.

If you don't look Japanese you aren't Japanese no matter how good your language, cultural or social skills are. And if you aren't Japanese then you will be treated as a seperate class and often discriminated against e.g. housing.

The institutional xenophobia/racism in Japan is simply unlike what most countries have.

If you have different rules, you have a different object and the meaning of the axiom is different. Even if it is written using the same symbols.

To continue the compiler analogy..

Just because the ASCII sequence "int c=0;" means different things in C and Java, doesn't imply "int c=0;" is meaningless when specifically talking about only C.

I'm vegetarian... but I can't sympathize with your position.

Dogs do have a pretty tight evolutionary history with humans, but they've been used as food animals for plenty of that.

Pigs are at least as intelligent as dogs and suffer enormously in most modern agribusinesses.

Geese were a favored pet of the ancient Romans and served well as watch animals too.

Cows are social animals who clearly have a deep relationship with humans, including holding sacred status among some.

Humanity's relationship with animals is complex and ever evolving. Animals once bred for food have become beloved pets (guinea pigs), and animals once thought exclusively as pests have come under the protection of laws. We're even reintroducing some dangerous wild animals like wolves!

I get that eating dog is horrifying. I'm looking at my two dogs right now, and if someone stole my dog for food I would react much the same as if a child had been. But condemning people for eating one animal that you didn't grow up eating just isn't a tenable position.

Academia or Industry? A Societally Significant Choice
True. There are a great many diesel-electric drives out there (mining trucks). I'm more concerned with the energy density. The batteries needed to power a container ship crossing an ocean would be monumental.

Ships are very very fuel efficient, by far the most efficient means of moving goods over distance. But they are also a large percentage of oil consumers (20% ?). So even though they are very efficient, they need to be addressed and their emissions somehow reduced.
Broadcom's "connection" to the project often seems circumstantial, like the Pi project is a blip on nobody's radar. Several of their engineers used to work at Broadcom and they've been under NDA lock and key, bending over backwards to help people progress on things that they can't officially talk about by leaving the least subtle clues ever so that they can move the process forward.

The GPU/camera integration in particularly is really painful - people have gone to insane ends to reverse engineer how it's working so that they can access features that aren't documented.

As a heavy Pi+camera user (I use 70 at a time every time we ship a unit) I appreciate the efforts of all these folks so much.
I attended Pomona College, which is in a consortium with Mudd. Our CS departments coordinate with one another and students take classes at both schools.

More than 50% of CS majors in my graduating class were women. And far from having admissions preferences in favor of women, Pomona actually does the opposite. The college's bylaws require an even distribution of men and women, leading to a higher admission rate for men (given that substantially more women apply for admission).

Women in our department definitely benefited from the same kind of efforts as Harvey Mudd: hiring women as faculty, providing summer research opportunities, and sponsoring participation in the broader community of women in CS (eg. through the Grace Hopper conference). I can't speak for my classmates, but I'm sure the things that attracted me to the field - it's fascinating and leads to good career opportunities - also attract women. If you could reduce the sexism I hear is endemic in the CS departments at many other schools I'm sure their graduating classes would also include more women.
As an academic trainee in the life sciences, I am curious to know if you are positing this question across all disciplines.
Please do this. I find the current N64 emulator in RetroPIE lacking regarding speed and support (even overclocked).
Dogs are kind of part of the family and so probably going for them is an even better way to get killed than stealing livestock.

Sturgeon's law applies. We only play the 10% (or less) of old games that are good. There are good new games, too.

Hmmm, I got a pretty bad frame rate with RetroPIE even with it overclocked.
The autonomous angle is also the wild-card along with the vehicle ownership notions. If our norms of vehicle ownership change, we can actually end up with significantly more BEVs and PHEVs. Remember GM highlighted Lyft when they were show casing Bolt EV. The S curve is not that far off, even with cheap oil.

Also, lots of classic PC games have fan made patches (or even remakes) that often remove bugs and help balance.

Content ID exists so YouTube can ease big partners. I am not sure about the three strikes being a part of DMCA. Are you sure? This YouTube help page does not elaborate whether YouTube is legally required to terminate an account three strikes. https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/2814000

> If you receive three copyright strikes, your account will be terminated. All the videos uploaded to your account will be removed. Users with terminated accounts aren’t able to create new accounts.

An possibly unrelated side note about automated complaints: I have a video created using YouTube Video Editor. The video includes song "1812 Op. 49: Overture" by Philharmonia Slavonica, Henry Adolph using YouTube's audio mixer. Someone made a claim that on a video. Being a video created on YouTube, it should be obvious that the claim is frivolous. Yet, the claim went through. Automated copyright complaints whether content id or not is bad because they place a burden on people who upload videos and it seems there is no penalty for being indiscriminate.
I always find it hilarious when people visit Japan, look at the shrines and think that it belongs to a really old era. When in fact it was during the Meiji period (after Australia was founded) that these were erected.

>> Each hadith is based on two parts, a chain of narrators reporting the hadith (isnad), and the text itself (matn). Individual hadith are classified by Muslim clerics and jurists as sahih ("authentic"), hasan ("good") or da'if ("weak"). However, there is no overall agreement: different groups and different individual scholars may classify a hadith differently.

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

The result is a very large body of knowledge, on the order of 10k, some accepted as trustworthy and others not. The Christian tradition has seen various books included or excluded from the bible, with anything not making the cut deemed heretical. Everything included became sacrosanct and above debate. The more varied approach applied to hadith spills over into Islamic culture, especially law. Arguably, current Islamic extremist movements are a fusion of Islamic rules interpreted through a very Christian mindset: in or out, forbidden or not, with little room for debate. They focus only on the Koran, as Christians historically focused only on the bible.

The problem with your analogy is that C and Java have completely different abstract syntaxes. A better analogy would be taking the syntax of an existing programming language, and completely changing its meaning. For instance, consider the effect of making Racket use lazy evaluation (Lazy Racket), or making Haskell use strict evaluation (the upcoming -XStrict pragma). Strict and lazy languages validate different sets of equational laws (and hence compiler optimizations!), neither of which is a subset of the other, so this is perhaps a more interesting example than switching between intuitionistic and classical logic.
More often than not a client will require some kind of robust charting or graphing functionality so it always ends up as a license for Highcharts.js or similar. Purchasing bespoke but robust functionality, that would be really hard to make on our own, is not a hard case to make for large projects.
Someone needs to review the definition of "ponzi scheme." This is more of a "tulip mania" scheme.
My personal belief is that it is a significant effect across all disciplines, but that the objective nature of some disciplines offers occasional ways to combat it.

My own academia experiences were in machine learning and image processing, and even there it was a heavy competition for demo ware. All ideas were basically vetted for their plausibility of leading to a TED talk or a conference keynote demo. If you proposed something or showed passion for something, but it wasn't clear that you could talk it about it while wearing a black turtleneck, then it got rejected pretty quickly. Little if any time was ever given to whether the fundamental questions were good ones or whether their answers constituted value-adding directions for humanity to move in. And don't even get me started on teaching. I once got yelled at by an adviser because I spent the time to write up my recitation notes for my probability students in TeX, instead of just scanning my unreadable hand-written notes. Good luck convincing them that investing time into how to teach something is worthwhile.

The process of moving past qualifying exams did include some objective hurdles of study (sort of quality control for the university's or department's brand) but it largely consisted of convincing certain key status figures that you were On Their Team and would be a good spokesperson for the sorts of positions and ideas they most wanted to affiliate with.

It will surely vary by discipline, geography, political climate, etc. But I think this is the dominant reason why we have academics at all. I do not think that the well-worn stories about funding fundamental research for society's benefit are even remotely true.

Wait until you find out that the electricity will come from coal. We haven't solved the clean electricity problem either. Even at only 35%, they're going to need a lot to of electricity.

"There’s another side to this EV equation: Where will all this electricity come from? By 2040, electric cars will draw 1,900 terawatt-hours of electricity, according to BNEF. That’s equivalent to 10 percent of humanity’s electricity produced last year."

I can assure you that many others are toiling away in areas that could not plausibly lead to a TED talk. It's not all show-and-tell prestidigitation, but some areas are heavier in that regard than others -- like machine learning, for instance.

Your response is rational, however, in its critique of many fields and forums. I'd like you not, however, to denigrate the incredible sacrifices being made by researchers in all fields of study. Of course, the snake-oil rules the day at the moment, but those are just the most vocal and observable of workers, and they cast the rest in an unfortunate and undeserved light. The startup world, in many ways, shares a large responsibility for this perniciousness, as institutions all vie with press releases for investment and donation money more now than ever before with the goal of reaping short-term profits in the marketplace.
So... GHC Haskell, really? The deployment profile, at least, is identical to Go in that you can just link statically and copy the binary.

I mean, I don't necessarily condone it, but if you're into "recipe programming" you can just use the Turtle package/modules and get pretty far. The tutorial is pretty amazing. I'm not saying it's a bad thing, necessarily, but I'm one of those crazy people who thinks that a little bit of cogitation should be (and is!) rewarded. Maybe I'm wrong.

EDIT: Oh, wait, you said "untyped IO". What does that mean, I wonder?
When they speak of "old" games, I do not think they are thinking of Mario or Tetris, which are a decade newer and orders of magnitude better than some "classic" games.
A simple

$: ls *

would load the millions of unique names into memory
hit the memory max and throw the server into swap
hell.

I'm surprised by that. I'd expect the shell to abort wildcard expansion when the expanded argument list gets bigger than ARG_MAX, since there is no point in continuing to pile on expanded args past that point.

It would be interesting to try this with different shells and see if they all behave this way.

Guess what

$: rm -rf *

does? That's right, it expands the wildcard and
tries to load the gigs and gigs of names of files
into memory until it hits swap hell, but
recursively.

I do not believe this is correct. It does exactly what "ls *" does with regard to the wildcard. Wildcard expansion takes place in the shell before the command is executed, so the fact that rm is being asked to operate recursively has no bearing on the wildcard expansion.
Yea. I feel upset about my situation but when I objectively look at how I got here I understand that it, in my situation, was a 'choice'.

I have too many projects, one that I shelved was "Reddit-as-a-filesystem", because I was messing around with Dokany [1] at the time.

The same kind of thinking (Reddit->FUSE->Files) could be applied to a Reddit -> Gopher proxy. To reduce the cost of the project, I'd make it self-host the Gopher server on the user's PC and make the API calls from there, rather than setting up gopher-hackernews.xyz:70

My gut feeling is that the slowest part of this would be the API call to HN [2] or Reddit [3].

Autonomous and shared vehicles works more in favor of electrical than combustion engine:

1. Autocharging is a trivial feature to implement. Charging times and range matter less.

2. In Uber/Lyft you don't chose car, but your provider does. Assuming electrical cars will have better economy there is less legacy/nostalgia barriers.

Notice how if you click a tweet in the timeline, you do not get a overlay to show the conversation. Nope, it push away the tweets below to make room. Then when you click anywhere else on the site the conversation collapse back, shifting the position of surrounding tweets once more.

Similarly, the only way to see a image full size is to basically drag and drop it into a new tab. If you click it you just get a floating view that barely make use of 75% of the screen, with a copy of the related tweet below it.

To make use of the twitter site i find myself liberally middle and ctrl clicking timestamps and similar to throw tweets into new tabs.

And their latest "innovation", embedded tweets, basically wrecks their own conversation view. Now you can't click a tweet and see the reverse timeline. Nope, you have to click each of them in turn to dig into the dialog.
With the exception of two classes (Clinic and Large Software Development, which are both explicitly about learning to work in large teams), all the group work you do in the Mudd CS program is pair programming. The groups are 2 people, and you're required to take turns "driving".

Weighting by number of homicides is actually reasonable. Since homicides are rare, variance of homicide rate is driven by number of homicides rather than by population. Weighting by inverse variance is pretty common.

Oil states that passed peak oil haven't done well afterward. Egypt peaked in 1992[1], and came apart politically on the way down. Libya peaked in 2008.[2] (Much of that was a war, but they never came back.) Saudi Arabia doesn't seem to be near peak output yet, but they're well below peak revenue. This is a real threat to the country's stability, which is purchased with big handouts. This was a story on YC about two days ago.

But I'm saying if you evaluate the axiom symbols two different ways, it's two different axioms.
I'm saying that these quarks are not long-lived, they come and go like other virtual particles.

You have this behavior outside of a hadron too, just that you're more likely to see a quark-antiquark pair inside a hadron than outside. The sea quarks within the hadron are still virtual particles, though.

And often virtual particles aren't considered to be there at all, after all, from that logic one might say that a proton contains all particles (it does, since there always is a possibility of a virtual particle pair of any type springing up). Of course, the possibility of the quarks coming up is more likely since they can be obtained from a gluon, but they're still virtual.

We're just dancing around the question "should we count virtual particles when talking about the contents?". The answer usually depends on context. So it's completely ok to say that a proton is just three quarks, since those are the only real particles in it.
So, because it supports more than one KBI it is a derived work, whereas if it had one static KBI to only work on one specific version it would not be derived?
