Biology Exam contained 'Image removed due to third party copyright restrictions'
My Biology Trial Exam contained a message informing me that an image had been removed 'due to third party copyright restrictions'. Personally I view this copyright as negatively affecting education which is, in turn, obstructing public interest. This public interest is not unreasonable, and is funded by the tax payer. That a company has actively asked for the removal of (or imposed conditions which have lead to the removal of) this image in an educational document created by a charity intended solely for the benefit of adolescents participating in their education and inaccessible by the general public (I tried to access this document online so that I may share with you proof, to access it you requires a center ID and password provided only to educational institutions) seems not only immoral, but also stands as proof that people of high standing, and the legislation that supports those peoples actions, is certainly not supportive of the masses.

Recently we have seen again how legislation has supported, and proven legal, wealthy companies and individuals unethical conducts. I am talking of the Panama Papers in which (some of) the 1% have taken an active effort to avoid tax whilst those who work hard for the little money they get, not only forfeit the majority of it to support social, health and educational systems but also are subject to large economical issues surrounding the cost of basic supplies such as food, heating and toilet roll (which many families are now having to choose between).

I am not an anarchist, nor am I seeking for some form of radical movement which will change how we see our world, I am asking simply, as a Z* , that our laws serve the masses, not the few.

*Z refers to Generation Z (see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generation_Z)
The Swedes are using cheese slicers too? I always thought the Dutch were the only people in the world to use cheese slicers.
The main dangers with sugar (table sugar, high fructose corn syrup) is how your body absorbs it, and the amount of fructose in it. Fats and proteins are broken down to glucose, yes, however this process is done over time, and it is almost ALL glucose, which is what your body uses as fuel. However when you drink sugary beverages like soda or orange juice (yes even orange juice is bad for you), you get an extreamely high dose of fruit sugar, very quickly (fruit sugar is different than sugar because it has a higher concentration of fructose in it which is bad).

Also, the reason fruits are healthy while fruit juice is not is that fruits have sugar in them, but between all the sugars, there is fiber, cell walls, and other parts of the fruit that slow down the absorption of the sugar. Another reason is that there is simply less sugar in 1 apple than there is in 1 glass of apple juice (there is around 8 apple squeezed into 8 ounces of juice).

Here is an amazing lecture which goes into amazing detail of the chemistry of sugars, and how they affect your body (also this is where I got most of my information): "Sugar the Bitter Truth" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBnniua6-oM

Here is a short clip from a show called "Adam Ruins Everything" where he talks about how unnatural "natural orange juice" is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZuYPdTvqitg

>So Goldman gets to sell these mortgages, short the mortgages they sold

Yes, they do. And as a market maker, there's nothing at all wrong with this and isn't the origin of the probe.

They're in trouble for "improperly vetting" mortgages that they sold, which in my opinion is pretty subjective. But the politicians want to exact a price.
Close!

Generally the purpose of a system package manager is to install packages for the system. I think the GP's assumption was that the context is "how do I set up a system whose primary purpose is deployment of X", not "how do I write X on a system whose primary purpose is development".

Then again, I've had good mileage out of making .debs that plonk dev work and deps into /opt locally. YMMV.
>You know who else does that? Everyone.

I think I agree with you, but this rings false. The main (only?) way to effectively lobby the government is with money -- which gives the wealthy far more leverage. If one side is saying, "Choose policy A please," and the other side is saying, "Choose policy B, there's $30,000 in donations in it for you," I bet policy B gets a better look in. It turns into a vicious cycle when Policy B also happens to help that wealthy person hang onto more of their money.

I dislike it, but damn if I can't figure out an alternative.
I'm confused. You're offering a free domain name that's owned by you, technically? Or offering a solution to domain gifting?

I'm always extremely wary of "free domain names" because often the business holds onto the actual registration, and hence it can be hard to get it away from them.
Yes! I loved that even Brian Kernighan can make a mess when trying to get something done :-) There is hope for us all!
Credit cards are not for people without "plenty of money." Quite the opposite.

First and foremost, your credit report/score is not a measure of how likely you are to pay back a debt, or how much money you have. It's a measure of how well you can manage and maintain multiple lines of credit simultaneously. That's why you get higher scores for higher account age, for number of accounts (to a point), and for a mix of multiple accounts (revolving, installment, etc).

So by definition if you are not showing that you can maintain and management multiple lines of credit simultaneously, you are higher risk.

And rbobby is wrong, getting a card and cutting it up will do you very little good.

To start you will probably need to get a standard credit card with no rewards, likely one with a small yearly fee. Buy your gas and your groceries and pay off the statement balance in full before the due date every month. Let your credit build slowly. When you can, get a card that offers rewards. Cash back cards are typically best, I have a Chase Freedom card that gives 5% back on rotating categories (gas, groceries, book stores, Amazon, etc). I have a Capital One Venture as well but I rarely use it because the miles accumulated on it (2 miles/year for a $60 annual fee or 1.5 miles/year for no fee) are roughly equivalent to 0.5% cash back if you attempt to do an account credit, and you need 60k+ miles for any flight I would be interested in.

You will still not have top tier credit unless you have some sort of installment loan like a mortgage or car/student loans.
It's bigger than Obama. You pretty much can't get anything done in Washington without pandering to Wall Street. Executive power is one thing, but money ultimately makes all the decisions.

Also, if you piss off Wall Street, where will you go to work once your gov't tenure runs out?
I'm currently building a blog with Lektor. I've found it very straightforward (as someone who's done front end work, but not for a few years) to take a static template from html5up.net and adapt it to Lektor.

Python is a great choice because it can do web dev (Django/Flask), automation/CLI type tasks, and data analysis.

I've most definitely become a better all around coder since picking up Python about 18 months ago - I was previously 100% PHP.

He has been saying (and publishing tax returns to show it) that he doesn't own any shares any more. And even when he did the amounts being talked about are in the hundreds of thousands range. Was there some new revelation in the past 24 hours that revealed Cameron to be a secret millionaire?
I'm not Swedish but I'm living in Sweden. This past weekend, my girlfriend, who is Swedish, wanted to participate in this phone number thing. I told her it was a terrible idea and I had to show her /b/ to convince her.
I think the idea is that investment income has much more wiggle room, which can be taken to extremes, particularly by people at the top with lots of it. Local/state tax can be avoided by officially residing in a state/municipality with low/no taxes on investment income. This works if your only income is investment and you don't need to live near a wage source. Or if you can afford to 'live' there officially without actually being present, and stay wherever you actually choose to spend your time.

Throwing in sales tax seems disingenuous, as that is applied the same regardless of your source of income.
> most of the first world does not have credit agencies for consumers

Interesting, I didn't realize that. How does credit work where they don't have the agencies? Like if I want to buy a house in Germany or get a credit card in France, does the bank just do all their own research?
I had hoped, by now, that OS vendors would have evolved a system of managing packages in a filesystem that was standardized, easily portable across operating systems, and easy to implement with a little forethought from anyone wishing to package their apps for the system or add support for the package/bundle in their language as a first-class implementation. In many ways we have this: at least in the Games world, where we can't expect the user to do package management to just play a game, we've got things like good ol' .zip files masquerading as filesystems, and thus .. our game is really a little OS with its own universe. The other end of the scale.

But its really, really hard, it seems, to get everyone to agree to these kinds of standards and share things across the filesystem in a way that is easily maintainable by real people as well as automated systems. I don't truly believe all this new school of thought, either, about filesystems having to go away - to me this is just a cop-out by folks who should be taking responsibility for teaching people what a filesystem is (since we have so many of them) before we start throwing them away and replacing them with .. something .. which inevitably doesn't solve any of the filesystem problems, but does mean less code has to be maintained.

Which is why I think language-people do this "NIH"'ification of the problem: nobody is enforcing any rules, so Langage-X has to have its own way of laying things out, providing common code, isolating things into common/routine layouts, and so on.

It truly is, for me at least, that if your language requires package management, its broken and isn't any better than any of the other umpteen languages that preceded yours, no matter how sexy it is, and which also has "package management".

The whole are is just broken and isn't fixed yet. I don't know all the answers, but I have a feeling a good start might be "build an OS, an execution environment, and a user interface using one language and one language only, and make all sub-systems of that OS utilize a standard, built-in, intelligently designed means of handling dependency graphs for user sub-modules".

When I bought my house in Toronto 20 years ago it was 3.5 times my annual salary. Now it is valued at more than 7 times my current salary (doing the same type of work).
Because it's the Guardian and this is how they gin up controversy ignore real solutions to societal problems.

It's especially ironic in this situation because the Guardian itself uses offshore tax avoidance techniques to lower its tax bill.
There's also the fundamental limit to the bandwidth that a given consumer can realistically ingest. The richest inputs we have -- our sight -- has been estimated [1] at about 8.75 Mbps. The real driver for bandwidth (and thus local storage) these days is input latency.

We're only just beginning to be able to react quickly enough to requests for different input (VR), so the historical workaround has been increasing the amount of data instantaneously available through things like HDTV. You're never fully consuming the bandwidth provided at any instant but you can increase your awareness by constantly looking at different parts of the screen.

So again we're fundamentally limited by the speed of light and how quickly data can be retrieved. If we can get better at local caching and query prediction (streaming in data right before it's requested), then we could theoretically reduce massively the amount of site-local storage required.

So for supply/demand reasons, I think software combined with HID improvements (better prediction through better sensors) has a significant potential to essentially put the storage industry into maintenance mode.

NYSE: GS up 2.5% at time of this comment, which is unintuitive to me.

Is this because a significant fine was expected so "baked" into the price? Presumably if the fine was smaller than expected by the market then it could cause an upward evaluation?

If there is evidence I haven't seen any. Pretty much everything I have seen suggests that A) You should meet your macro needs which are slightly different for everyone, B) after that don't over eat, but what you eat doesn't really matter.

From a weight loss perspective low sugar diets are good for psychological reasons, not thermodynamic ones. Sugar tends to cause quick, but short lived fullness, where fat and protein take longer to kick in but once they do they are much longer lived.
Coversational UI taken literally
With no credit, you are not going to get approved for any card where you don't end up paying for the privilege of having it in one way or another. Most like a $40-60 yearly fee. A year or two in with on-time payments you can either convert the card to one without a fee or get a new one without a fee and close that one.

> I don't know why you'd need an advisor.

Two cases that come directly to mind:

- Moved to Germany in 2013, worked only 2 months in the end of the year. Tax was collected directly from my employer. Brutto salary in the year was obviously less than the minimum. So I imagined I could get a full refund. Talked with some of my colleagues, none of them would give me any other advice except "You need to get a Steuerberater". Talked with closer friends, and even the German ones had difficulty to figure out what to fill in order to get all of the taxes paid.

- 2015 I started working as a consultant. That's when I finally went to a Steuerberater, and to my surprise, the Finanzamt never got my Steuernummer. So how is a foreigner supposed to even know how to fix that?
Might be more interesting if you did something like 'rent for a year.' Right now the problem with Airbnb is that you're limited to 90 days as the renter. If you tweak your idea to 'I want to live in that home for a year' with the option to buy, that might become more interesting and useful (you now have multiple audiences - long term renters, long term tenants and possible home buyers).
they have different target audiences.

waze almost gamifies driving and tries to get users to actively report stuff about the traffic, including accidents and similar things.

google maps is a traditional navigation system with live traffic monitor, but ultimately a passive experience.
afaik no feature of waze has been nor is planned to be merged into google maps. the live traffic monitor of google maps was already available significantly earlier than the waze acquisition.
You should likely download Waze if you want the best experience. That being said, using google maps, you'll see traffic updates or maintenance/cops/red light cameras and it will say "Information from Waze" or something akin to that.
I agree with both. If i was given the same choice today, I'd still vote for Obama. I'd still be choosing from the lesser of two evils, though
But for instance, I own several AAA games on my steam account, but I have only some installed at any given time. If I feel the urge to play one that I haven't in a long time, it doesn't take that much to download it again. It's even better that I don't need to worry about save files anymore, they are backed up automatically.
Their business is to aggregate what others have told them. It's consensus + automation at its purest. If you have a lot of different companies saying you've been a good boy for a long time, you get a high score. If a couple companies say you're garbage (true or not) you get a bad score. The agencies simply aggregate this information. I guess a lender could cut out the middleman and call each of your previous lenders themselves, but who's to say the result wouldn't be the same (+ the added cost of having to do that).

Conceptually I have no disagreement with you, and I'm certainly no reporting agency apologist. I spent a lot of time on my own report correcting an unfortunate combination of youthful indiscretion and erroneous reporting and I guess I realized that the rage is wasted. There's just no one place to pin the blame, the whole thing is a complex system (intentionally) with perverse incentives (intentionally) and you can either play the game or resign yourself to a life of credit denials.

I hate it too, but I can't see a better way that serves the same scope and scale at the same price. The only place to fight, I think, is 1) for better corrections process, and 2) penalties for companies that incorrectly report.

Again, bunch of anecdotal unscientific evidence in this thread, just like the last one.

It's unbelievable that this community believes in fad diets (keto, paleo, lchf, atkins, etc.), that it is afraid of food, afraid of sugar.

Sugar, carbs and fat makes you fat, not sugar alone.

Contrary to popular belief, there are no lucrative private practice jobs/political appointments waiting for unsuccessful prosecutors. Successfully prosecuting a major bank executive would have been a career-making win for an ambitious attorney in the DOJ. Indeed, shortly after Bear Stearns collapsed, the government brought criminal cases against two Bear Stearns executives: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=9189904.... Both men were acquitted at trial: http://www.wsj.com/articles/SB125788421912541971. That was a humiliating result, given the DOJ's white collar division boasts a 90%+ conviction rate.

People ignore the relevant differences between the S&L crisis and the mortgage crisis. The former took place during a time of heavy regulation, and involved thousands of smaller banks and relatively unsophisticated individuals. The latter took place at the tail of a long period of deregulation, and involved large, legally-sophisticated banks.

At a big bank like Goldman, a routine part of a banker's or trader's job is running things by the in-house lawyers. By and large that wasn't true for the savings and loans that failed decades ago. And while legal oversight doesn't prevent excessive risk-taking, or buying loans with bad underwriting, it does tend to prevent activities that can be easily prosecuted as criminally fraudulent.

It's notable that there were virtually no prosecutions in the aftermath of the Great Depression either. It's worth considering what similarities and differences there are between the Great Depression, the Savings and Loan crisis, and the 2008 real estate collapse.

You're downvoted, but I think you deserve an answer: It shouldn't be necessary, but people are all too willing to lump someone into a camp and attack them on that basis, so it's often necessary to note when you are doing something against the direction you'd normally be biased so people don't make that conclusion.
Yeah, the one thing I'd say is get rid of the TypeForm questionnaires (or integrate them better)... having said that we recently tried to recreate them at work and they have taken astronomically more time than originally thought!

Your premise is based off of losing 100lbs. If I lost 100lbs I would be a 71" male weighing 80lbs. I eat natural food e.g., whole milk, real butter, fatty meats, lemonade, tea, roasted veggies, along with snacks like everybody else but I exercise (moderately these days) and eat normal size portions. Being healthy is not rocket science.
I don't think BitMessage is a blockchain is it? It doesn't create or use a shared ledger or consensus for that ledger, it just sends all messages to everyone so that the sender and receiver are much more difficult to track down.
It might be true....but sugar soda is definitely worse than diet soda. For example, you can drink through 5 cans of diet pepsi in a day, with very few health problems (if you do it consistently, over a long period of time, it might cause problems, but that is still 'might' so it's not obvious).

Now imagine drinking 5 cans of sugar pepsi in a day. That's 800 calories of pure sugar! If you keep that up, you'll be gaining a pound every week.....or feeling the effects of malnutrition by the end of the year. Nothing subtle about that.
