Excuse me my naivety but I don't really understand what you mean by "This is not an issue and hasn't been for quite a long time". When I do ls / on any of my machines I still see /bin /usr/bin and all the rest.
Possibly. We value US degrees pretty low in EU as well.
In America, I highly doubt it, though I am not a lawyer. There was no statement of fact that was made, only at most insinuation of an appearance. Usually these sorts of cases are where one party has stated something as a matter of fact, not an opinion.

The author has no standing to know anything as fact, only enough to hold an opinion. He's simply stating his honest opinion. Whether it's true or not is not up for discussion.

It is necessary for the functioning of democracy, considering this is a public servant we are talking about who in the US has even less recourse (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defamation_per_se#Public_figur...), to hold such opinions as otherwise it would be impossible to insinuate that a public official is not acting properly, and to call for an investigation of such an official.
There's a huge Rails community in Berlin and hundreds of jobs. Not sure about the rest of the country.
Richard Taite of Cliffside Malibue was on Bill Maher last night and he said that there was a study that recently (within the last month) came out done by I think the FDA that concluded that oxycontin was only to be prescribed to people for 7-12 days maximum. And he said that everyone was on board, but then the prescription drug lobby totally squashed it.

The United States has 5% of the world’s population & consumes 75% of the world’s prescription drugs.[0]

Release Candidate 1 really should not have shipped.

I had a prototype product using DNX "Release Candidate" and then DNX was killed.

It was a prototype and nothing of real value was lost. I'm not holding a grudge, and I'm sure the people at Microsoft would have avoided it if they had a crystal ball.

Personally I love .NET, find C# extremely enjoyable and look forward to RC2 but the way RC1 ended left a sour taste in my mouth.
Walking pace is ~3MPH. On foot people are not doing straight line trips so ~2MPH net distance for long trips is reasonable. Less if navigation is an issue. As such it's ~1000 hours to go from east to wast coast in the us.

PS: even netting 4h traveling per day that's less than 9 months.
As per reciprocity, terse lazy insults warrant the same in return.

Not sure where you are from, but in the US we have much more speech leniency. In the US I highly doubt his statement is actionable for slander, especially since he wrote "appears" and never made the claim that a cushy job was offered in exchange for favorably treatment.

I agree. This sounds like bullshit, and the political commentary at the end doesn't help it at all.
They also cut the cost of launch heavily when compared to ULA ... and ULA also benefits from all the advantages you describe.
In a similar vein, I got an entire bottle of vicodin prescribed to me after having Lasik surgery. There was virtually no pain, merely discomfort similar to having a dirty contact lens in your eye, which went away after a day. I never used any of the vicodin.
It seems to be perfect (and unfair to clients) business model. Same was described by Zed Shaw about ThoughtWorks.

Is Modafini the Drug That Will Turn Us into Superhuman Workers?
It's simple: a lot of the actual needed "work" in impoverished communities is informal. These communities are quite good at self-organising -- but barter can only get you so far. What cash grants give you is better liquidity for conducting mutually-beneficial exchanges of goods and services locally -- as well as the means of acquiring external resources for facilitating those transactions. In this context, most low-level jobs are self-creating.

Higher-level jobs require a more educated populace -- but it's been shown that when a Basic Income is given, people will naturally seek out greater education -- either travelling to find it remotely, or paying for education services locally. The jobs can't be "brought in" before the populace has the education to fulfil them.

One thing which Basic Income doesn't address, however, is infrastructure creation (or at least infrastructure which can't be sensibly paid for by end-user fees). So there's definitely still a need to address that, Basic Income or no. But for various reasons that should really be done by the government, rather than an NGO.

Yes, it is. But more often than not the kids can't see it that way. It's a rare child that understands why the teacher wants them to figure out how many watermelons fifty people bought at 3 different stores.

Unfortunately, this mindset continues far longer than it should. Highschool students, unlike their elementary counterparts, are more than capable of understanding what education is, but still continue to view it as something forced upon them, rather than for their benefit. I've seen more than a few college students with this mindset as well. The cheer that goes up when the college gives them a day off is a bit disheartening.
The patent system drove that company to develop something to stay ahead of the game, and when it wasn't good enough on its own merits, they cheated.

So yes, it was partially the fault of the patent system.
For what's it's worth, this type of analytics and market research is what Nielsen (NLSN) has been doing for several decades.. Indeed they were the first real BigData company. They just don't charge monthly.. You buy access to a set of data (markets, products hierarchies) and often some level of custom reporting and scheduled updates on the data.
"you'll see people who were hitting the limitations of Go end up moving to Phoenix"

This is oranges and apples. First, you're comparing a language to a framework. Second, use cases for these two barely overlap. I'm a huge fan of Go and I started using Phoenix for web development and I can't really think of a scenario where I'd have to think which one to choose for a particular job.

Children learn to read because it enhances whatever they are most interested in. At present this will usually be video games.

Quite apart from the moral aspect, which is usually ignored, this negates the standard argument that "reading is extremely useful for all sorts of activities, therefore it must be taught".

That heavy jail sentence while HSBC got a "slap on the wrist", paying their way out of a criminal indictment [1].

> The settlement, announced December 11, 2012, included a $1.256 billion forfeiture and $665 million in civil fines.

> It resolved charges accusing HSBC of having degenerated into a "preferred financial institution" for Mexican and Colombian drug cartels, money launderers and other wrongdoers through what the U.S. Department of Justice called "stunning failures of oversight."

(...)

>The deferred prosecution agreement, known as a DPA, lasts for five years, and prosecutors may indict the bank if it violates the terms.

> Gleeson said "much of what might have been accomplished by a criminal conviction has been agreed to in the DPA," whose administration he will supervise.

> He noted having received requests from the public to reject the agreement because it did not hold HSBC criminally liable. He also read numerous editorials and columns suggesting, as one put it, that HSBC was "too big to indict."

> I had significant nerve pain after an accident, which kept me from being able to sleep or focus on anything very well.

Was that in the weeks or months after the accident? Or was it some time after that?

Pain after accidents is short term (acute) pain, and I'm only talking about long term (chronic) pain.

EDIT: Either way, it sucks that you didn't get good enough treatment, and I'm sorry you went through that. Pain freaking sucks, and being looked at as a drug seeker doesn't make it any easier.
"Autistic Charisma as a Service."
The reference letter system is bullshit.

Besides, most of them are written by the employee himself upon the request of the employer (too busy, can you write it yourself and I sign it?). My advice would be: If in doubt, fake it. The chance the the company will call your previous employer are not zero but close to zero. Even if they call they would just asked if you worked there and not if the letter of recommendation is genuine.

Side Story:
I remember when I applied to a (non IT) job closely related to field of expertise at BASF. I upload a shitload of documents into their nightmarish SAP application interface.
A few days later I get an email: Thank you for your application but please also upload the letters or reference. I wrote back, that since I was living in the US the last years, I don't have such letters since such letters are not common there but I would be happy to provide references (from MAJOR names by the way).

They wrote back: If you don't have reference letters then we don't need you. We deleted your application from the system (an application that too a tremendous time to create thanks to the SAP application interface bullshit).

So, the bottom line:

1. Letters of reference are bullshit in most cases. If you really need them, FAKE them. No kidding!
2. Don't take this German nonsense in any way as a good example. A phone call is a better thing. In IT I assume you rarely need it. A friend told me: "If I hire somebody I don't need his resume. I just want to have a look at hit git account."
3. If you ever hear on of the Bozos from BASF or Evionik speaking in public of "not enough supply of skilled people" then you know in which category to put them.
First it was "electric cars are not viable technologically, they have no range, there is no charging infrastructure, etc."

Then it was "electric cars are too expensive, they are rich peoples' toys, and mainstream consumers will never want them anyway."

Now it is "Tesla will not be able to scale up to meet all the demand."

The fact that EV naysayers have been forced to cycle through this spectrum of responses in less than 10 years should be a clue of some kind.

As for the recovery partition, you don't need the split for that, either. Just have a live system on the recovery partition that mounts the normal root FS. Then you can chroot into there for recovery tasks.
You are wildly off base to the point that you seem like a shill. Learn about tort law and the first amendment. Besides it not being injurious or necessarily false, It involves a public official so good luck proving actual malice.
The 70% appears to be proven reserves (at least, I don't see reason to interpret it otherwise).

The more interesting question is where supply can easily be developed. The much larger reserves elsewhere don't matter if a different mine is able to easily increase production to meet the demand.
n=80 is actually not bad, if that's what you're implying. There are a lot of studies that are n=30 since that's the rule of thumb most follow.
She/he could do that, but it wouldn't make a large impact. I think the OP meant that they'd rather pay more taxes with the assumption that everyone else is paying more taxes too. That would make a large impact.

It's the same reason why it's not hypocritical for the super rich to desire higher taxes on the rich, yet still pay the minimum legal requirement.
I got some of that crap years ago. I felt good for about a half an hour, then got really nauseas, which is not something you want after surgery. Switched to ibuprofen. Pre surgery morphine had the same effect. I am not a fan of opioids.

Yeah yeah. But does anyone here with a history of building something more complicated than a Rails app want to bet real money that Musk will put a Dragon on Mars AND ship 500,000 Teslas in 2018?

HSBC 2012 - $1.9b fine for laundering Mexican drug money.

JPMorgan - $13b aggressive, irresponsible mortgage lending

Bank of America - $16b ditto

Libor rate fixing - $3b, multiple banks

Forex rigging - $2b, multiple banks

BNP Paribas - $9b, violating international sanctions

PPI - £23b, multiple banks

Around $240b worth of fines between 2009-2013. Some of which can be put down to incompetence. Most of which can be put down to outright criminal fraud.

Play it fair with sentencing please.

> Experiencing pain has a limited risk potential in most people, especially when the pain is linked to a temporary condition.

People living with long term pain are at increased risk for death by suicide.

That doesn't mean we should just hand out opiates (which should not be used for chronic pain), but that we should take pain relief a bit more seriously.

Living in pain sucks.
The entire reason the manufacturer was pushing Oxycontin's 12-hour dosing so hard was because they had a patent on it, and if it required more frequent dosing the patent gave no advantage over the cheaper patent-free formulations. That's why it was so important to them that doctors stuck to the official 12-hour dosing interval even if it led to a higher overall dosage and ineffective pain relief.
He probably also applied an Al-Khwārizmī.

What I really want to know is how to get these dumps. Not for nefarious reasons, just curious.
Your dismissiveness is unwarranted and wrong. The whole reason the drug was developed because their patent on their current flagship drug was expiring. It's right there in the article.

Oxycontin is essentially hydrocodone with a time-release mechanism. You need to demonstrate significant distance from existing medication in order to get a new patent.

The entire debacle, soup to nuts, was driven by the patent system. Without it, a) the drug wouldn't have even gotten developed, and b) the 12 hour marketing claim would not have been politically and economically necessary for Purdue.
They are all symlinked - just different names for exactly the same directory in the file system. If you compare the contents, you will find they are identical.

It's the overall aggregate trend that's concerning and in line with climatic models from 80s. We are seeing temperatures spike year over year, droughts intensify, floods worsen, storms strengthening, sea levels rising, and species extinction levels increasing.

Teslas are still "rich peoples' toys" some places, model s cost 120000 USD for the cheapest model.
That's the super-interesting thing about stereotype-threat-related studies -- they're all extraordinarily culture-dependent, because they're all about subtle cultural attitudes. Repeating this in other places would be interesting.
The patent and the marketing didn't make hydrocodone less viable as an alternative.

I mean, the doctors can see that information coming from the company can be problematic and be cautious of it. I guess they ideally shouldn't have to be, but that's not the world.

Personally, I'd be fine dismantling Purdue for something like this. We need to start recognizing that large institutions make mistakes for reasons that can't be fixed.

(There's lots on NICE. That's the organisation that assesses effectiveness and cost effectiveness of treatments, and makes recommendations about whether they should be used in English National Health Service. I guess this is one of the "death panels" we have in this country.)

BBC Radio Four have a programme called Inside Health. They had an episode on the benefits of exercise, including exercise as a treatment for arthritis pain. Sadly, BBC geoblock some programmes. (I have no idea which ones either.) http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b06vkg24
I haven't taken OxyContin but withdrawal symptoms and the concept of hell are interesting (well, afterwards at least).

It's like the mind has a thought, then checks to see how the body reacts (i.e. with joy or fear) and this in turn affects how the thought is interpreted, which then influences what is the next thought, etc.

The oxycontin or whatever temporarily cuts off this mind-body connection (without paralysis!) but eventually the fear comes back in a downward spiral. Even the appearance of everyday objects can then seem threatening and disturbing.
And if you look at what has significance here: it's about free trade and predictable government. Not really freedom or democracy.

Thanks for your comments. I have visited so many universities in Nigeria and I think that the drive is not there at all.

It's pretty depressing how casually people's lives are thrown away for money. I can't imagine how angry I'd be if I was dealing with a family member who was prescribed these increasingly higher doses of Oxycotin and going to doctor who refused to prescribe anything else because Purdue repts insisted it was safe and effective at 12 hour doses.

There is a big difference between Electric Vehicles as a whole and Tesla. Electric Vehicles are 'probably' here to stay and will 'probably' eventually make up a significant portion of first world mainstream automobile market. Whether Tesla significantly leads the industry in volume of Electric Vehicles manufactured and sold is another matter entirely.

The main component one has to not underestimate is that in the automobile industry the technology/engineering problem of the car is less important to the technology/engineering/process of the plant itself.

Toyota is not a lumbering clumsy inefficient organization, it is a sharp nimble efficient organization... It only makes rational sense that Tesla should follow their lead
What countries did evolve? Not ones that had high taxes or even strong unions. Recently, as mentioned above: Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan.
