The reason doctors in the US make multiples of the income of doctors anywhere else in the world is because of high-dollar lobbying (for their own sake), and payoffs from pharma and medical device companies in return for support. If doctors in the US were reduced to the salaries of doctors in the UK, the bottom would fall out of the yacht business.

Building a Translation Memory to Improve Machine Translation Coverage and Quality
This actually seems very low to me. The archive at DigitalGlobe is over 80PB of data [1], and was growing at over 2PB a year [2] before the latest satellite went up. There are more bands in the imagery than RGB, so it is larger because of that.

But somewhere Google is storing the original resolution data. Aerial imagery is at an even higher resolution, so even larger per square kilometer. They also are holding different resolution data for different zoom levels. They do not resample aerial imagery past certain zoom levels, they use a different source.

At approximately 3225x3225 pixels per square kilometer (31cm pixels in Worldview 3), that is approximately a 10 megapixel tiff, per square kilometer. Which I believe is roughly 35MB. 496Million square kilometers of land on earth not including antartica. Brings this over 17PB of raw data. And that is not including any historical data either. Before starting caching the different zoom levels of png's that are served out.

I know not all of the world is covered at that high a resolution, but there are spots with even higher resolution to make up for it. Plus historical data. And plenty of water included in the images not counted either. I highly doubt they are holding anything less than 30PB.

New study shows rich, poor have huge mortality gap in U.S
I think this has a lot of promise, but I think they haven't quite dialed in the format.

I think they should focus on battery swapping as the way to deal with limited energy capacity. It makes for a nice spectacle watching pit crews do their thing. Swapping out an entire car and driver is just boring. Likewise the constraint to be able to swap the battery packs quickly will necessarily lead to the cars looking a bit different than F1. I think that also would be an improvement and help them differentiate as more than just "like F1 but more quiet and slow."

The ability to run events almost anywhere is a huge opportunity. It could make for some really compelling video footage in some awesome locations, if they can negotiate it.

Courses should focus on short sections and tight turns. Acceleration is where electric motors are most exciting, and keeping top speeds below the 200mph+ of F1 would let them run smaller events with less safety buffer space. Let people get up close and see the cars rocket out of each corner.

Single-mothers gave up their humanity when sleeping with "bad men" apparently.
Great notes, I remember using these years ago for calculus and differential equations. Very straight-forward and example-based. Remember for most of us math is about solving problems!
I guesstimated using the 66 years WolframAlpha spat out, while Google (sourcing World Bank) has 81.5 years (2012) with a more or less steady increase. Let's just say WA was smart enough to factor all that in.

I always assumed it meant the 70 million richest people on the planet, you know those rich people with college degrees who have time to hang out in parks and complain about how the world no longer treats them any better than anyone else.

It seems they want their taxes increased and that money sent to Bangladesh to make for less income inequality.

Despite their college degrees I suspect they are innumerate and have a difficult time understanding meanings of words that don't favor their privileged position in the world.
When I was at school, we used to play a game in English whereby we each had an obscure word that we had to get into compositions as often as possible without the teacher spotting it. The record, if I recall correctly, was something like 6 mentions of chiaroscuro.

I sometimes feel that Guardian political journalists aren't paid by the word but using some form of buzzword bingo similar to the game we played. So the more times they get terms like 1%, neo-liberal, progressive etc the more they make. Polly Toynbee is definitely the master at that but Chakrabortty is pretty good too.

I don't see what that solves. In the short term, it would be better and more secure than using SSNs, but in the long run, you should assume hackers will breach any database it gets stored in. That means one should always assume that no identifier is truly "private."
I suspect that men are simply judged on a wider feature set than women. women prefer younger men if judging on aesthetics alone (full head of hair, abdominal definition, clear skin), but place a lower priority on attractiveness and will tolerate signals of aging in men if they are accompanied by signals of wealth/cultivation/accomplishment. Men who are unaccomplished/uninteresting and also older will experience 'pool shrinkage' at a similar rate to women.

Unfortunately the obvious way of doing this with WebUSB is, from a security perspective, equivalent to giving the online IDE the ability to install arbitrary code. The Arduinos with sophisticated enough USB stacks to support WebUSB can also be reprogrammed by sketches to emulate a keyboard and inject keystrokes, including a series of keystrokes that downloads and executes a malicious executable.

The checksum is only telling you when the value is probably incorrect, it doesn't show that it's correct or meaningful.

For example (on a completely hypothetical filesystem/disk), lets say you want to open a file. You read the entry in the filesystem metadata that tells you on what sector that file begins and it gives you a value of 5005. Even if the checksum is correct, the filesystem code still needs to check that a) 5005 is actually within the range of valid sectors, b) that it actually makes sense as a sector value (maybe files must always start on a multiple of 4), c) that the data at that sector actually looks like a file, d) etc.

If you don't update the checksum as well when generating the test data then you limit the amount of depth in the testing since most errors would get caught immediately at the checksum validation stage.

I disagree. A lot of people railing against the so called 1% are in fact 1% themselves on a global basis (e.g much of the Guardian readership). They tend to be very keen for people richer than themselves to share their wealth, but despite in fact being richer than most people on earth tend not to be so keen to share their own wealth.

It absolutely does not have the same flavor, no artificial sweetener does. But if you decide to not have sugar, you can grow to enjoy it in a different way. For me, for example, regular Coca-Cola is just non-existant in my world at this point. I drink Coke Zero, and I like it. I'm sure the sugar full version tastes better, but I've decided that's just not an option for me.

No. I am sick of politicians vilyfing the 1% ... in Canada, that means a family income of around 180K. Taxes get raised, benefits get cut etc. on people who have to pay 8-12 times their income to afford houses in major cities and have massive student loan debts to service (where professional jobs are anyways). Having a tax system that is blind to local income/cost of living differences is stupid. The 1% rhetoric really needs to end. I am in the 1% and I am fucked. I'm in my late 30s .. I have no house and can barely afford one. Sorry if this sounds like whining but this system of screwing people who actually do work and generate income needs to end. Here's an idea ... lets stop taxing income and start taxing assets.
Everything you said.

I've been treating sugar as personal health enemy #1 for quite a few years now.

Note: I am deeply addicted to sugar. It has been absurdly and embarrassingly hard for me to abstain from high sugar foods.

I can eat a healthy, high-protein meal, and be full. Yet 30 minutes later, I will feel hungry again. But checking in with my stomach: still full.

I can eat a few grams of sugar and feel instantly full.

I'm at work and can't take time to cite properly, but I have read some relatively new science about how they have identified some physical structures in the brains of people who are unusually drawn to sugar consumption.

Like you, I have lost quite a bit of weight, and I do eat very little sugar these days.

But it's seriously a daily struggle, and it feels so damn irrational at times.
Also, software engineers are concentrated in high-CoL areas, which skews things.

Do you ever attend a community Town Hall or Home Owner's Association?

Meetings rarely talk about the budget, for better or for worse. You'll get legions of concerned mothers talking about the dirty homeless people at the motels and ways to build fences around the motels to protect the kids... or Single-Family homeowners complaining about the black people in the Apartments (I kid you not)... and setting up cameras or paying officers / security firms to patrol those locations.

But NEVER have I ever seen anyone complain about low-property taxes of a specific unit at a homeowner's association / town hall. Literally never. People don't give a shit about the budget, they're just too far removed to understand that kind of an issue.

Based on my experience, I'm going to call this elitism, not a budget issue.
Publicly traded companies are required to face fines for negligence, for information leaks, fraud, or other. As are all companies.

If they choose bug bounties to help with this, good for them. If they choose other measures, also good too. They simply need to show they take effort to protect information as dictated by information security laws, or internal policy, whichever is stricter.
Calling them up is exactly the wrong thing to do. Always get any communications in writing.

Are Formula E cars geared? Electric engines can deliver the same optimal torque throughout the RPM range, so is shifting involved? That's obviously an important part of the F1 drivers' skillset (especially during starts) so I'm curious if they just have work the brake and accelerator or also worry about gear changes.
Regardless of political meaning, it's not the infographic, it's a sad excuse for a caricature. _Info_graphics are supposed to have much more actual information that that.

Do you have a source for this assertion? So far as I have seen, Soros has donated more money personally than the Kochs have - but the Kochs have an extensive network of "grassroots" political organizations which in aggregate have funneled far money to politicians than Soros has done personally(on the order of hundreds of millions). I suppose at some level they are all using tricks and loopholes.
It's 100% irrational. We just didn't evolve to exist in a world with refined sugar at every street corner. We aren't equipped to make good decisions about it easily, it is a constant battle between our long-term decision making and our natural quest for easy to digest energy.

#2 stems from the 'calories in/calories out' method of weight loss. It involves awareness of the amount of calories you eat and the amount of calories you burn. It's an adage to apply when trying to lose weight and just losing weight.

It seems the same simplistic weight loss observation is being applied to nutrition, two vastly different things.

This is my third year as a volunteer mentor for a local FRC team since the team's founding. Also, it is our third year headed to St. Louis (FIRST Championships). Our team is run out of an elite private school. We participate in multiple regionals and money has never been a problem. I'm sure the easy access to money is a contributing factor for our continued success.

I'm aware of another local team which is setup as a 501c3 and physically runs out of a public school. This particular team is heavily supported by a local mechanical engineering firm with both money and a team of mechanical engineering mentors.

Several years ago I was addicted to coca-cola, drinking daily even 2L - I probably exceeded the daily recommended amount of sugar 4 or 5 times. Since then I've drastically reduced sugar in my diet and luckily I never had a problem with weight, but I wonder what'll be the long-term effects of intaking so much sugar for such long time. The scary thing, now that I check the ingredients of everything I buy, is how much sugar is there in the majority of products, even in those advertised as "healthy".
