No, you don't have to be notified. Have you never heard of a wiretap? They've been doing wiretaps for as long as telephones have been around (about a century now, I think). Obviously you don't have to notify a suspect that they're being tapped.

As for your link, that's completely irrelevant: that only talks about when officers are allowed to enter your home when you're there. It doesn't even mention what the law is if no one's home. It does say they're allowed to enter if they announce their presence and no one answers after some time. It does not mention whether they have to notify you, and the reasons they'd be busting down your door after announcing themselves are totally different from the reasons they'd be spying on you, so these aren't even comparable scenarios.

Jeesh, all you have to do is watch TV for the last 50 years or so: police (or other law enforcement investigators, more likely FBI) absolutely can and do spy on people with warrants, including using "bugs". They've been doing this for ages, it's nothing new. And until recently, there was a legal process for this, requiring a proper warrant.

>As strange as it may sound, the Clintons did the most for the pro-encryption side of this debate. Former President Clinton passed CALEA

Huh? You must be too young to remember the Clinton presidency, but Clinton's administration made a huge push to force everyone to use the "Clipper" chip for encryption, which would have both mandated a specific type of (not-so-strong) encryption and given the government the keys for it through key-escrow. We're really lucky that Clinton couldn't get that one through Congress, but to claim that the Clintons are pro-encryption is being completely ignorant about history. They're only pro-key-escrowed encryption.

In England the recommended treatment for ADD / ADHD isn't amphetamine as a first response.

Here's what NICE say: http://pathways.nice.org.uk/pathways/attention-deficit-hyper...

http://pathways.nice.org.uk/pathways/attention-deficit-hyper...

> Drug treatment is not indicated as first-line treatment for moderate ADHD.

> Offer parents or carers referral to a group parent-training/education programme on its own or with other group treatment (CBT and/or social skills training) for the child or young person.

> Consider individual psychological interventions (such as CBT or social skills training) for older adolescents.

> Where ADHD is present with a learning disability, offer referral to an individual or group parent training/education programme according to the preference of the child or young person and the parents or carers.

In England children should only be getting medication if they've been through a rigorous assessment and are seen as needing those meds.
But the author also pays for the publishing costs. Submitting a paper already costs 1-2k to have it in the journal. PLoS has shown that the 1-2k range is the publishing cost. For even more information that you'll likely not read see here:

https://www.theguardian.com/science/2012/jan/16/academic-pub...

It's hardly surprising that publishers would fight dirty to hang on to a business model where scientists do research that is largely publicly funded, and write manuscripts and prepare figures at no cost to the journal; other scientists perform peer-review for free; and other scientists handle the editorial tasks for free or for token stipends. The result of all this free and far-below-minimum-wage professional work is journal articles in which the publisher, which has done almost nothing, owns the copyright and is able to sell copies back to libraries at monopolistic costs, and to individuals at $30 or more per view.
Calling them processes is even more misleading. A process has a specific meaning on most operating systems. Erlang "processes" should, if anything, be referred to as "green-processes" or "lightweight processes", as to do otherwise leads to dangerous comparisons, such as implying that a server running an Erlang server has 2 million processes running, when in reality it has 1 (or several) Erlang processes, running a VM that is in turn running 2 million Erlang "green-processes". And while "threads" is incorrect, Erlang processes are closer to green threads then to any other concept.

The Erlang virtual machine has what might be called "green processes" – they are like operating system processes (they do not share state like threads do) but are implemented within the Erlang Run Time System (erts). These are sometimes referred to as "green threads", but have significant differences from standard green threads.

The most important thing for education is simply getting the attention of the kids. Once you have their attention, you can get them to tinker and play and learn. But until you actually have their attention, it's all "you can lead a horse to water but you can't make them drink." Free software is important, but explicating GNU orthodoxy to kids is about the worst possible way to actually get them out there playing with technology.

The IAEA maintains the International Nuclear and Radiological Event Scale, under which a level 7 incident is one that requires the implementation of countermeasures to protect the public[1]. The details of those countermeasures and the scope of the accident is not significant - all that matters is that _some_ plan to counteract the effects of radiation was undertaken. The IAEA even cautions against using the scale as a means of comparison between facilities and incidents. In this context, the Chernobyl incident involved the release of 10x the radiation [2]. The effects on human and animal health also appear to be orders of magnitude different. So really, grouping the two incidents together is counterproductive. Doing so, to me, reflects a misunderstanding of the INES - one that I suspect is deliberate on Greenpeace's part.

Hey there,

I'm sorry to give the impression that I think you and those like you should suffer without treatment.

I really don't.

And I don't believe ADHD is a myth or anything like that. Quite the opposite.

I just believe we can do better that what the medical profession currently offers.

I mean, don't you think it would be a shame if we couldn't?

Don't you think it would be great if we could come to fully understand mental illness at a fundamental level, then develop treatments that gave you even better health than what you've already experienced, without the need for stimulant drugs?

There is likely to be no higher reason for ADHD and depression to exist.

Not wanting to labor the point on a topic that's clearly sensitive to you, but in short: evolutionary theory says there must be a reason why these traits are so widespread.

I'll leave it there for now.

Similar story about gut health rabbit hole and profound quality of life improvement after understanding gut serotonin... I took 23andme and found out I had HLA-DQ2.5 (Celiac gene) making my risk of developing Celiac around 10% (as opposed to near 0% if you don't have it - everyone with the gene cannot process Gliadin, a wheat protein, Celiac is just the most severe set of symptoms).

Before this point I was highly critical of people with pretend/made up food sensitivites and ate anything I wanted on the basis that if there was a problem my doctor would tell me. Recently (a few months ago) I stopped eating wheat as an experiment as I had some Celiac-like symptoms showing up more and more. It changed my life.

76% of people with this gene who are not diagnosed with Celiac yet and consume wheat have a serotonin-based psychiatric disorder because the undigested wheat starts acting negatively on the serotonin system, making you volatile and anxious. My diagnosed Generalized Anxiety Disorder took a matter of weeks to disappear.

Genetic self awareness and choosing your foods carefully cannot be overstated as a means to improved quality of life.
It's misleading because there are now 2 different definitions of the exact same word at work. It's a computer running a process running an Erlang VM that is then running multiple Erlang processes. It is completely reasonable to be annoyed at that. Many languages have a concept of threading in userspace rather then kernel space, but they don't just call it threading, they give it another name so that it can be distinguished from the existing concept. For example, stackless python's tasklets, Go's goroutines, green-threads.
Thanks for the clarification and the link. Not surprising to see Ultimate Flora at the top.

I'd bet that a lot of these species die on the shelf.

The industry might still benefit from consistently labeling as "live" on the bottle if the probiotics are live.

I suspect that not everyone has an imbalance that would benefit the user.

A good strategy might be to try various species until something works.

An over the counter "23 and me" for gut species genomes assays might help; but that's a few years away.

Cage a bird and you need to adapt its diet and care. Same with humans.

Indeed. And my hope (and belief) is that we'll soon see much better techniques than amphetamines for providing said care. Opening that metaphorical cage is probably a big part of it.
You see my point though. Charging to be in the journal means that there may be amazing research that simply refused to pay. Charging to be published in the journal is at odds with it always containing the best research.
If it's the first time you've seen it, I recommend going through the whole "Things I Won't Work With" archives[0]. They're a great read. "Sand Won't Save You This Time" is hilarious (from a safe distance) and where Lowe started hitting his stride.

It will also (rightfully, it's fantastic) make you look for the Ignition! PDF, because it's not every day you read a paragraph introduced with:

then find out said introduction is 100% on the spot.

>I don't think anyone believes this (correct me if I'm wrong).

While not exactly what you wrote, people do think that someone is a genius at some subject can become a genius at another area with less work than it took for someone in either field to originally become a genius at that field, especially society groups the areas together (so sports star becoming master programmer is far less likely to be believed than chess master becoming master programmer).
>If Alice tosses a coin until she sees a head followed by a tail, and Bob tosses a coin until he sees two heads in a row, then on average, Alice will require four tosses while Bob will require six tosses (try this at home!), even though head-tail and head-head have an equal chance of appearing after two coin tosses.

Now that is particularly interesting to think about.

The article mentioned:

It also seemed to assume a method of universal child care and education.

Given that we don't have either of these, and based on the experiences you described, which method do you think is better for "society" and the child in the long term: two-income households with childcare, or one-income households with a stay at home parent?
The question would be how it got submitted after that by someone else.
The hardness of factoring is not in the finding prime numbers. You could hand someone a list of all primes in the security-relevant sizes, and it's not going to help them much.

Yeah, in practice it'll affect the total computation time, but generally security people tend to assume extremely generous fudge factors anyhow. A lot of times when you see security papers talking about how something takes "2 to the 50 operations", they're referring to the full process of hashing some string 2 to the 50 times or something like that, rather than 2 to the 50 CPU cycles. When so many security operations involve things getting exponentially harder as you add bits, there's not much point in trying to shave an order of magnitude here or there; you just go ahead and make things that are secure even if the entire universe is converted into computronium and dedicated to brute-forcing your security. (Because so far, that's never been the ultimate security problem.)

Assuming that starting and owning small businesses are the backbone for a strong middle class, then yes the gov't doesn't "help" enough.

And how the heck do you keep up with the version mismatching? Like, should I just not update the server, or should I stick with just one engine?

I thought the article was saying Alice must get a head followed immediately by a tail. If that's not the case, then it makes total sense, but it would seem the article is a bit vague about that.

Actually, the details in the article say:

>even though head-tail and head-head have an equal chance of appearing after two coin tosses.

That implies that the tail is expected immediately after the head for Alice's goal.
This is absolutely incredible. This is why mathematics is so amazing, that something so small can be missed for centuries. All about how to look at things!
Indeed, they conjecture that the primes' last digits "conspire" in every base > 2, which is very interesting.

This happens all over the world, in every major city where there is a gap between the rich and poor. This is not a Google, private security, or an LA thing

In Toronto last year, I witnessed a homeless guy get kicked out of an ice cream parlor by an undercover cop the moment he stepped in the door. The bank up the street from me has a security guard outside 24/7, and during the Winter, I saw him kick a homeless man out of the warm ATM vestibule. Last week I watched the police round up a group of homeless sitting outside a McDonalds. There's an article that floats around about Hawaii putting their homeless on a one way trip to anywhere else.

There's no good place for people who don't have anywhere to be. They move to a park and park-goers complain. Any place indoors they will get kicked out of because they don't have money or a reason to be there. They can't stay in shelters because they're overcrowded.

So this article sucks because it doesn't do anything but blame Google. Google is just doing what any other independent actor would do; keeping a healthy and safe appearance.

We can't solve the homeless problem, so I ask, where should they go?
