I've always found the idea of gender identity a bit odd because it seems to present this idea of discrete 'identities', negating human personality, drawing patterns where none need to exist.

Talking about appearance (which covers race, gender, basically stereotyping in general) - a human might look at another human, see that they have certain attributes (I dunno, wonky teeth, not well shaven, particular gait, whatever) and decide to box them.

The idea of gender identity seems to be a way of trying to break out of that box of judgement. So yeah, I look like I have a penis, sexually I can interact with those with vaginas and produce children, but that's where it ends, I figure.

What I personally don't understand, at the moment, is what makes it different from anything else - identifying as working/middle/upper class, as a nationality, as whatever, really. They all seem like patterns of the same thing to me. If you're working class and you waltz about in a suit with links, providing you can even afford such a thing, you're not going to be treated well by your peers. And that sucks! But what does the identity help? Being able to find others who want to do the same things?

Is it just that we're doomed to try to simplify our models about society by creating these groups, so gender identity is about trying to move the groups a bit to limit damage? Or what?

Fundamentally I'm not sure I even understand what it means to 'identify' as an X. What if I think that all of the groups are nonsense? That I don't feel working class, or middle class, or male, or female, or whatever? I sort of am one of them, by birth and inheritance, I guess, but my feelings about it seem kind of immaterial?

edit: Turns out that reading the whole article properly, rather than skimming it, means that my comment is almost entirely superfluous. :)
Pretty interesting, I'm assuming you have to be near the chip to access the data, considering it's based off RFID tags?
And risk the banhammer once Twitter cottons up to the scheme?

I have no direct experience, but I believe the limit is basically a way to signal to app owners "your app is officially big, give us a call". I know Tweetbot by Tapbots had this problem and solved it somehow, so it's not the end of the world.
Just one? I think you need a plan A and a plan B, and, for some of the longer articles, a plan C wouldn't hurt.

Back in 1982 Synon Inc. introduced its Synon/2 CASE tool based on similar ideas. The product targeted minicomputers using green screens. The same model could produce target code in COBOL, RPGIII or PL/I. We then toyed with the idea of meta-models which could model vertical applications such as accounting systems or inventory control.
We believed that the next generation of modeling would use logic programming with constraint solving to make smart models (At the time the Japanese 5th generation project was underway). Alas, the project proved too difficult and it was abandoned. Perhaps it is time to revisit the idea.
When people talk about big data, they usually discuss datasets with lots of observations (aka, rows). Not datasets with lots of features but few rows - those are far more common in fields like genetics or omic sciences in general.
You can adjust the boot options on 32 bit windows to reserve 1GB for the kernel, or any number between 1GB and 2GB. It's irrelevant for 64 bit windows.

The flag in the PE header says that the application can handle addresses over 0x80000000. It don't change reservations.

I'm not normally in favor of surveillance, or reporting students to police for minor infractions. But for me the key sentence is here:

> collects data from public posts on students' social media accounts

Calling this "spying" is disingenuous. There's no spying going on if person A posts something to be available to the general public, and then person B, a member of the general public (in this case the school's social media subcontractor), looks at the post.
They're completely above board. It's still the RMB currency just using and app to pass it around between people's app accounts and bank accounts. Bitcoin on the other hand is restricted I believe, so is exchanging RMB for foreign currencies.
The linked article claims the current commercially available batteries have been stagnant, not the research, which is quite active but is only expected to bear fruit in the medium term.

I was prepared to be upset, but I'm having trouble seeing why I should. The article seems to indicate this software only looks at public posts. It'd be different if they used fake accounts or got "snitch" students to obtain access. But public posts? They're essentially broadcasting this information to the world. As you say, they will quickly learn privacy practices, and everything gets better.
The link between telomere shortening and age was proved just a typical correlation recently; in fact telomere can expand naturally as well. Might not be as useful as she thought...

By the way, is there any attempt for a programming language of human body on biochemical level? Programming protein/DNA/RNA interactions as a form of language? Currently all our efforts seem to be like hacking by shooting blanks, or as if you changed/inserted/deleted a few lines of code randomly and observed what that does (typically on animals).
Oh, I read it right:

" I ported Dart to OpenBSD. I tried to work with upstream (Dart team at Google) to incorporate my changes or work on a way that allows them to take the changes and for me to maintain the code long term. "

You wanted them to work so that your unpopular OS is supported. My claim was that you'd have to fork it and do the work yourself in many cases since the OS project is for benefit of you and small niche of developers/users. The irony is that comments like that deride non-OpenBSD FOSS for not going through trouble of OpenBSD support while the LibreSSL commits mocked and stripped OpenSSL's support of VMS, etc. as crap that's not worth the effort users be damned. Same attitude in place.

The Dart team is probably targeting Windows, Mac, and Linux (w/ Android). Those are THE desktop OS's in terms of uptake and capabilities available. Adding PC-BSD, OpenBSD, eComstation OS/2, Syllable, BeOS, MorphOS, MenuetOS... these could benefit someone but represents lots of work with almost no gain due to near-zero market share. So, for niche projects, it's on you to get the work done if your goals and theirs aren't compatible. They're doing nothing wrong even if a bit non-optimal given benefits of portable code tested on many toolchains.

Serum as Sentinel: How Cold Blood Became a Resource for Population Health (2013)
Actually, they are underpaid writers who -- if this piece is any indication -- at least get it more right than the NYT[1]. If you're aware of a more thoroughly researched account of Alcor's history that is less negative than this one, I'd love to read it.

[1]: The NYT reported "the procedure itself went mostly as planned" when in reality -- quoting from Alcor's own account of the events -- the woman's head fell out of its "enclosure", there was general "confusion and disagreement" on how to perform the procedure, and then "cryoprotective perfusion was not generally successful".
You could, but:

"Just for comparison, Linux defaults to 3 GB for user mode and 1 GB for kernel mode. There are experimental patches to implement a separate virtual address space for the kernel, thus granting 4 GB for user mode AND 4 GB for kernel mode. Unfortunately, there is a 10-20% performance hit because every system call requires an address space switch (and TLB cache flush)."

Take it with a grain of salt, that quote is a decade old.
It's a common "recirc" technique (recirculation). All that crap after the button/article? If you skim the first paragraph and are not interested, they want you to go there rather than press "back".
I agree. There's a lot to be criticized in the cryogenic movement. They're selling something that they just don't have (eternal life) to people who are desperate.

But this article was an obvious smear piece that didn't do the subject justice.
Is there any practical limit to how much energy a device like this can buffer before springing into action? I'm just curious if it would be possible to quickly leech enough to power a peripheral like a solenoid, or at least ensure enough energy is available to complete whatever computation the device is intended to perform

(Vaguely imagining a completely unpowered electronic lock, and a handheld 'key' that I guess would contain a fairly beefy battery)
The problem with shipping by boat is the variability. Your just in time supply chain needs to assume a ~6 weeks or longer in case of a strike etc. Variability goes down a little when you have more boats going to more ports.

As a final point on energy larger birds can do generally have a slower metabolism. They simply need less energy per lb to maintain flight and can travel longer distances on smaller per pound energy budgets.

Not that I think anything could convince you, but look into glide ratios and optimum glide speeds. If A and B have 15:1 ratios and B glides at 2x the speed that's more efficient.

I'd like to propose that both you and Retric are more-or-less right, if not for exactly the right reasons. Your post gets down to the real issue right at the end: the actual limiting factor for a craft like solar impulse is the strength of the wings, and the best way to get around that is to use a lifting-body rigid airship.
We think that cosmic background radiation and certain subatomic mechanics are truly random. If you attach extra hardware to a computer, you can observe these and send a stream of bits to the computer.

You don't usually want to use truly random numbers for cryptography though; /dev/random is more appropriate. I've never understood why, exactly, but that's generally the advice.

The Right to Read (1997)
What made you decide to learn React and not any other framework you mentioned?
There are some details in the AMA that Parrish hosted, but not the specific technique or vector used. One can probably make educated guesses based on who was involved and their past work. It was a whole-body approach, not targeted to any specific tissue. Telomere length was measured in white blood cells because that is the present standard assay in the scientific community, not because immune cells were targeted specifically:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Futurology/comments/3ocsbi/ama_my_n...

"The genes targeted are human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) and follistatin (FST). In animal models neither FST nor hTERT have increased the risk of cancer. We expect to see the same result on myself, and to that effect we are measuring all known cancer biomarkers. The gene therapies on my body are to measure the effects on humans. There is plenty of animal research to support these gene therapies but no one was conducting human tests. We are using both visual biomarkers, MRI and a panel of blood and tissue testing including work on telomere length and epigenetic testing. We are collecting as much data as we can, but unfortunately we currently don't have the coverage rate for this therapy, how much of the tissue of the body is affected. Depending on the tissue and vector used we ultimately expect to see similar rates of transfection as seen in mice, which is somewhere between 5 to 60%."

I wouldn't latch too strongly onto not being "man" enough. Your partners can tell there's a problem, but aren't sure how to articulate it, and "man enough" is as close as they know how to describe it.

You have behaviors which you learned as a child in response to the situation you found yourself in at the time, and those behavior patterns such as conflict avoidance which served you well at the time (or at least were the best that a child could come up with), no longer serve you well as an adult.

Thus rather than saying "man enough", I think a better description would be not "adult enough", in that particular area of conflict resolution.

I suspect you feel insecure about whether your partner likes you because this pattern of conflict avoidance may mean you haven't tested prospective partners while dating by showing them the real you and seeing whether they like that or not.

The way to build confidence is to address the area where you are weak by learning and practicing in that area until you are good at it, and then you will automatically have confidence about it. E.g. if you don't have confidence that you can ride a bicycle well, the solution isn't to pump up your confidence by boosting your manly power, the solution is to practice riding a bicycle until you are good enough at it, and then you'll feel confident about riding bicycles.

Thus I suggest your first priority should be to study and practice effective conflict resolution, asking for what you want, being assertive about things you care about, setting strong boundaries, etc., ideally in an experiential setting where you can practice interactions rather than just reading about it.

Then I think you'll find that women will find you already manly. Confidence is sexy. Not the fake confidence of boosting yourself up to appear confident while ignoring problems, but the true confidence of being able to say, "yup, I know how to handle this".

I find it interesting that if you fold the pass according to the instructions, you get the core pass on the front and the ads on the back, while if you do the opposite, you get the core pass on the front and the schedule on the back.
They tend to generate electrical noise (often from a semiconductor), amplify that noise, sample it, de-skew the stream, and present that to a port for reading.

Long telomeres are necessarily better in fact it increases the risk of cancers.

Too short is bad, too long is bad.
What's GRG? Do you have a link to the comment?
The title and the article are in conflict. The article reports on a survey which shows America's flyers want both cheaper fares and more legroom. Then article's author says
Passengers can’t expect cheaper fares and more legroom without sacrificing, well, something. (Lavatories? Flight attendants? Aisles?) They are trying to have it both ways. It won’t happen.

Problem is, flyers expect both reasonable leg room, reasonable seat sizes, and reasonable prices. Airline management, in the quest for profits, seem to have aligned themselves with an unreasonable view of customer service.

Interesting.

I have also seen other solutions which address this problem:

1. https://github.com/facebook/fbjs
library that Facebook uses in React: you have @providesModule annotations in modules, and you can write e.g. require('myModule') even if myModule.js is somewhere deep in directory hierarchy.

2. webpack configuration (e.g. you can write own loader to be able to make:
require('somethingWeird'), or probably use resolve like in this article: https://medium.com/@ericclemmons/dogfooding-your-open-source...

I mean, I don't want to underestimate your project by writing that something similar existed. Quite the opposite. I think that you made library for solving important problem (resolving dependencies in nice manageable way). I am just agnostic about which solution is the best.

Although I hope that in future one solution will prevail (maybe yours, maybe webpack based, maybe @providesModule, or maybe this kind of functionality should belong to JavaScript language itself? Maybe ES8 or ES9 will have something like this?).

Because dependency management is too important for allowing to further fragmentation :)

"The married engineer, who is in his 30s, and has been quietly tracking down stolen bikes for the last year, spoke to the Guardian on the condition of anonymity amid increasing curiosity about his identity, motives and methodology."

I'm guessing the main reason he wants anonymity isn't from criminals, but from his family, who would obviously kill him if they knew how much danger he's putting himself into.
I disagree. This is not a good article, it does not state anything (what kind of genetherapy, what kind of gene, how was it administered) but wants to tell a personal story. You can not even say how they achieved longer telomeres in white blood cells. Have they transduced hematopoetic stem cells? Or just transplanted (some kind of) white blood cells, that will be gone from the body in a few months? That would not be progress.
You can use "truly" random numbers for cryptography. /dev/random is not recommended (except for perhaps long-term keys if you're worried about the randomness algorithms having a vulnerability), use /dev/urandom.
I keep my notebooks. I scribble notes in them all the time, and then when I have downtime I look back through them. It's great for recapturing ideas, but it's also great for avoiding retrodding the same paths again. I am prone to forgetting I've done certain small things before and then I lose time on re-implementing the early parts of it. For example, I've rebooted this one project 4 times without even realizing it: a solar-system wide cross between Moon Lander and Asteroids with a simple, multiplayer mining economy.

Dinner Table: Does Monogamy Work? – Wait but Why
The key components are the two transistors connected back to back. The first (Q1, pins 1, 2 and 6) is effectively used as a zener diode which will exhibit breakdown noise at low currents [1]. The second transistor (also labelled Q1 but on pins 3, 5 and 4) is used as an amplifier of said noise.

A similar circuit is explained in more technical detail here: http://www.nutsvolts.com/magazine/article/bipolar_transistor... (look for the "WHITE NOISE GENERATORS" chapter title)
