Yeah, I deliberated on that, knowing that the victims who survived can never be made whole, let alone those who died beneath a shroud of official silence. I suppose I should have said "the ROK will never bring the guilty to justice," though a tort claim isn't real justice either.

Makes sense. My 5 year old laptop has a i7-2820QM, 8 vcpus, is plenty fast for the stuff I do, 4600 bogomips, 45W. My recent upgrade was a NUC with a Pentium N3700, 4 real cores, 3200 bogomips, 4W. Pretty impressive.
Oh. Sorry then, it's just you called it an "evangelical concept" so I was a bit confused...
Toll App
where can i get all the toll plaza location data. I am planning to collect this information and integrate this with google API to display toll prices along the route.
From the article:

[The Brothers Home, a mountainside
institution] got government subsidies
based on its number of inmates, so it
pushed police to round up more vagrants,
the early probe found. And police officers
were often promoted depending on how many
vagrants they picked up.

Oh, so, kind of like this:

I remember being interested in L when I read about it a few years ago, so it's great that it's open-sourced now. Should be fun to try it out. I'll give the makefile a whirl.

As for the name, "L" would be hard to Google, though "C" and "Scheme" are too. While I guess "little" would be somewhat easier to search for than "L", it sure isn't as obvious as "Clojure" or "fortran". Outstanding names are hard to invent.

You're assuming that the 11% is coming from roles that are so hard to hire for it becomes more economical to look overseas for the talent--is that true?

In other words, I think it's just worth pointing out that Intel's a huge company and it might be that these layoffs are coming from roles where market demand is lower.
I wasn't alive in the 80s, but it blows my mind that South Korea was a military dictatorship. I know this is common news to most people outside the West, but I think it is good that in this day of fast communication and very few places to hide, that tough information like this comes out, so we can deal with it and learn from our horrible mistakes. Not all saying I'm glad this happen, but at the very least, I hope we can all learn something from it.
As Andy Glew said, "Only the paranoid survive." I was part of a section laid off en masse under similar circumstances. Our group got a paper "award" for cross-team collaboration, and the partner group got to keep their jobs.

The severance was decent, and my new job pays twice as much, so I've got that going for me, which is nice.

I guess you could call me a Calvinist, but I find Calvin's treatment of Severetus (burning him at the stake) appalling. I just think that he got a lot of what I believe about Scripture correct - the whole TULIP summarization of his theology I largely agree with.

No one here will be shocked at the eventual investor lawsuits, but I was a bit surprised at the "Pain -- Solution" graphic. Unless "Michael" is very senior to "John", he is a complete asshole:

"The Journal‘s reporting suggests that Theranos had been falsifying lab records to make it look like its own proprietary gear was as reliable as the industry standard.

I made some Korean friends on a semester abroad in college… Kind of shocked me how much I hadn't heard of concerning Korea and Japan, from specific stories like this to differences in daily life and what is considered "normal behavior". Things sometimes don't really make it out—could it have to do with the differences in how negative it's considered to face a potentially embarrassing situation?
Well, that's just another way of stating that CPUs have fallen way, way behind graphics cards in terms of power. At some point in the past the difference in power wasn't nearly as large.

If there were consumer-grade 16- and 32- core Intel processors with reasonable prices I would consider buying them for the sake of certain experiments. It would save me from dealing with CUDA or OpenCL. But right now that's the domain of pricey high-end server stuff.

Me either so take this with a pinch of salt.

Mostly it's about shuttling around 4 times as much memory for each screen as well as 4 times as much processing.

1920x1080 has ~ 2 million pixels.
3840x2160 has ~ 8 million pixels.

Internally iirc this is often done as vectors before been rasterised out and having various filters and shaders applied but that step requires that you store multiple buffers etc, same reason a card that will play a game just comfortably at 1024x768 will run away crying at 1920x1080 I guess.
This is a good article, with interesting presentation. I tend to distrust the need for recognition, however, because I see it as old programming. It's always there, for sure. But I like to stay conscious that it's automatic. The rest is great. You always live into the future that you imagine. So it ought to be one that you invent for yourself.

Keep in mind that this example was (presumably intentionally) cherry-picked to show off the worst of Tcl's syntax. It's not really representative of how expressive the language can be in the right context, and it doesn't show the benefits that you can get from having a very simple, regularized syntax with little added sugar.

On the topic of expr, though, it can be avoided if desired in favor of Lisp-style prefix operators: http://www.tcl.tk/man/tcl8.5/TclCmd/mathop.htm

They aren't even that. They're a consistent mouthpiece for their own agenda, which is an imperfect copy, and sometimes conflicting, of the agenda of their majority shareholders. The government, however, has a Facebook relationship status with said majority shareholders of "it's complicated".

CNN just wants eyeballs to read their headlines, they make it as clickbaity as possible. What they don't realize is they have to be on the level of Buzzfeed to make that work, and they aren't even close.
Margaret Atwood may not be the best example because she so rarely chooses male protagonists, but the gender of the author and how it relates to their characters (and readers) comes up all the time.

It is, for example, why Rowling published Harry Potter as "JK" and not "Joanne"—she didn't want her own gender to affect how readers perceived her book. A large number of female authors have done this over the years.

There does seem to be some asymmetry where male authors struggle to write female characters well and are questioned about it more. I'm not sure where the imbalance comes from.
I remember before Yik Yak arrived on the scene, anonymous ephemeral communication wasn't popular. Sure there's Craiglist, but part of what made Yik Yak popular is that it not only adapted to the way people wanted to communicate, but it refined it. It created a space that was participation only and had an agreed-upon code of conduct.

Hundreds of social apps enter the market every month, but the reason so many fail is because they try to keep up with the standard. Bumble and Happn both tried to replace Tinder, but couldn't because the value of communication hardly changed. Bumble surely gives women more power into the dynamics of online dating, but women not having power was hardly an issue given Tinder's match process. The saturation of refinement has already piqued in that market.

Social apps don't necessarily miss the mark, but rather they fail to predict. We are in an age of ephemeral messaging at the moment but it's a false premise given the increasing control of the police state governments. The next revolution in communication and social apps is going to be off-the-grid communication, where there are no networks or carriers - just end points. Mesh networks and Tor-like nodes are below the surface at the moment, but once that technology moves from software to hardware I predict it's going to bloom (permitting encryption is not outlawed) into dongles you attach to your phone which eventually are sold as features.
Maybe it's growing up and realizing that it's people on the other side of the tubes.
Yeah, reads like the guidelines I would've written when I was a 17-year-old forum moderator.
Ah, you're talking about sponsor logos. I didn't get that at first. The only thing I know about RadioShack is that it's a store chain. I assumed they sell some rebranded bike clothes. Having sponsor logos on you that weren't put there by the clothing store seems indeed a bit quirky. I haven't seen that myself.

The UK is much more open with this info than most US states. Some states have good info, such as CA and NY, and, surprisingly, FL. Nevada and Delaware, though, operate their state corporation registries like offshore tax havens.

Porting THREES to Luxe, Part One
Being in hardware is getting harder and harder.

Increasingly the footprint of hardware is becoming sparser, replaced by software, etc.

It is time to make the push to make hardware open source mainstream from the point power hops on to where software picks up.

There are many, many really good reasons to do this, but in the end, to me, it will define how free the world is.
IMHO "cash for kids" was small potatoes compared to the Drug War. The prison-industrial complex has to eat, and it only eats two things: money and human lives. One would expect this behavior, to some extent, anywhere there are prisons.

Still, the FBI wouldn't be doing its job if it didn't review the evidence. I'm not, however, claiming that Apple should have done what the FBI wanted. I'm just saying that the FBI should have wanted it.
BTW, I'm actually a very social person. I've literally spent years in coffee shops socializing in the days before cell phones, the World Wide Web and Facebook. In the mid 2000's, I discovered Meetup and spent 4-5 nights a week going to or organizing my own meetups. I have no social phobias or rejection anxiety and I'm very comfortable speaking in public.

I think you underestimate the anxiety people experience when they go out. I see it when people come out to my meetups, so I make it a point to introduce myself and introduce them to other people.

When I say I wish I had a clever idea to offset the effects of Facebook, I really mean to say, I wish I had a clever idea encouraged people to go out, talk to strangers and make lifelong friends on a Facebook scale.

Start a hospital and your obligation to accept all ECU patients will be the smallest of your worries - a law which I agree with.

Every. Little. Detail. about healthcare is regulated. From the years of doctors education, from where they must go to school, to who can do what procedures, to how many volts your power supply can ripple, to the brand of emergency generator your hospital is allowed to use, to they types of investments your hospital is allowed to make, to the types of antiquated file formats your hospital records must support. I am not even scratching the surface. It's not that the regulations are bad intentioned or even bad ideas, its that following them is huge, huge overhead that prevents innovation and competition. Heck, the state has essentially conspired with the AMA to limit the number of doctors. It's a classic barrier to entry exmaple that professions lobby for. And it's the reason a highly trained doctors still need to perform the majority of simple procedures. Because that how the doctors want it.

Depending on your state, there are between 800,000 and 1,500,000 pages of health regulations. The affordable care act is 20,000 pages alone, and that is just one regulation among hundreds.

Healthcare is the most over regulated industry in the United States. Bar none. And it has been a disaster.

AS for preexising conditions, my stance is that If the taxpayers want that, then the tax payers are more than welcome to foot the bill. It doesn't even make sense to have insurance companies, which insure against risk, to provide it.
