What's really fucked up, is that I am on my windows pc now, and I typed 'https://fb.scanandcleanlocal.com/' into my browser and it _worked_. It resolved to 127.0.0.1:443 and it just shows a blank page. My computer must have a virus.
That's what I meant. It's already going to spread through the US regardless because it's physically connected to areas where Zika exists.

I suppose Southern Europe might be able to get it? I'm not sure if the extent of the mosquitos there.

Update: only a very small bit of southern Spain. So not really a concern for Europe or North Africa. Also, they don't have the sort of contiguous area where it would spread across a whole continent.

Interesting approach -- get the scientific community to agree on the mathematical principles first, before anyone specifically is outed as cheating.

But this article feels like reading a teaser chapter of a bigger story.

> The amount of (toil) required to actually create data like this from scratch if (very) nightmarish. It’s a task drastically out of reach of the (foolish people) who’d try such a bush league stunt in the first place.

This assumes that all experiments lead to publications. We know there's a strong publication bias, and that the bias favors positive results, and dramatically favors unintuitive positive results. Which means you need to find correlations where none were expected. How many experiments do you need to get a significant correlation when there is none? Hint: more than one.

It's also worth noting that it wouldn't be difficult to produce a genetic algorithm using various statistical checks, including this one, as a fitness function.
It's also very beneficial to the code health as it allows to make global refactoring, e.g. adopting new language features, improving shared libraries, etc.
Haha I love this idea
What percent of current travel comes from areas where Zika could exist, but doesn't? And what amount of travel from such places will the Olympics bring?

Total volume isn't the right consideration if almost all visitors are from places that Zika already exists or can't exist.

Update: I checked the stats: 93% of visitors to Brazil come from places where Zika already is or can't go:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tourism_in_Brazil

5% are from Asia. Africa isn't mentioned, but it must be less than 2%, part of which would be from North African countries that can't get Zika.

The olympics will bring visitors from every country. It should increase the speed with which the virus reaches sub Saharan African, and Southern Asia.

I don't think your information actually allays any of the concerns, as the total stats refer to visitors from different countries than those who will be visiting during the olympics.

It's nice to hear from someone that's been using Objective-C even longer than me who feels the same about Swift. Only 19 years here.
That's assuming zero interest. 3% ROI + 3% tax over 20 years...

Also, the idea is an AMT tax if you pay 3 million in US taxes and keep 100 million untaxed offshore that's no additional taxes. Next year if you add another 100 million (200m total) your US taxes also increase by another 3 million. So you might as well bring back enough that you would have paid 3 million in extra taxes so 200m - 3/.35 = 191.4m off shore and 8.6m brought back. After a few years your foreign untaxed accounts stop growing as you bring back as much as your making.

Same basic math would also apply with 5% or 1% AMT tax rate, the difference is how large the foreign reserves get.

PS: Ok, now the downside. It's really hard to parse though untaxed profits of subsidiary's. But, companies like Google are going to stick with legal methods of dodging taxes.

> I'm not from the crypto community, but putting Skein into FreeBSD seems a very strange choice, especially because it looks to be motivated by the "Schneier" brand. Apart from SHA-3 (which is already there), BLAKE2 would have been a better alternative.

This does reek a bit of the "Schneier Brand", but for what it's worth, Bruce hasn't developed horrible cryptographic primitives:

Block ciphers: Blowfish (bcrypt is based on the expensive Blowfish key schedule), Twofish (an AES finalist), Threefish (based on Skein).

Stream ciphers: Solitaire (a classical algorithm with playing cards), Helix (authenticated stream cipher), Phelix (authenticated stream cipher submitted to ECRYPT)

Random number generators: Yarrow (inital CSPRNG), Fortuna (CSPRNG replacing Yarrow- FreeBSD and OS X/iOS /dev/random)

Generic hashing algorithms: Skein (a SHA-3 finalist)

What I find interesting, is the monocultures created in cryptography. You have the NSA/NIST monoculture (3DES, AES, SHA-1, SHA-2, SHA-3), the Schneier monoculture (Blowfish/bcrypt, Fortuna, Skein) and the Berstein monoculture (Poly1305, Curve25519, ChaCha20). It seems to me that if you're against the NIST standards and NSA designs, then you're likely in the Schneier or Berstein monocultures, with possibly some overlap.

What bothers be about being anti-NIST or anti-NSA, is forgetting that we have some great algorithms that already exist, such as AES and SHA-2, that are well-studied, well-implemented, and near ubiquitous. I'm not saying we should just stick with those primitives, and I'm glad cryptographers are thinking of more, such as BLAKE2 and Argon2.

So, I guess this whole discussion boils down to "why?". Why is Skein being added to FreeBSD? What is the need? Is the package manager moving to file integrity with Skein? Is ZFS? Some other need? Or is this getting added, because of the Schneier monoculture, and the need to be "anti-NIST/NSA"? I tend to believe its the latter.
I wouldn't call Steve Kovach as credible journalist in tech. His articles in businessinsider just prove the point.
Yes, but the language chosen implied to me that it's using a stop-the-world approach.

I've confirmed this by looking at the (surprisingly readable and small) code: http://www.ulisp.com/list?1BWZ

Also, it looks like the algorithm is mostly deterministic, so that's good from a real-time standpoint. And it only runs if memory is about to be exhausted, so if the application ensured that it stayed within the Arduino's memory budget, it's essentially a no-op.
> Rivers

Rivers are doubtless cleaner than they were 400 years ago, too; it's enormously valuable that we can now treat human waste properly. Dunghills, referenced all the time in historic texts (like Luther's "snow on a dunghill" image), were literal piles of human feces. Imagine where they went when it rained, and remember how a lot of waste was just dumped onto streets, into water, and so on; 50 million people dumping raw sewage into rivers or storing it in heaps, will pollute the environment much more severely than 1 billion people with plumbing, running water, and centralized sewage-treatment plants.

I can’t really see any links between sexual objectification and the kind of generic “objectification” that you’re talking about.

Feminist pseudoscience has basically filled the searches.

That doesn’t show that we shouldn’t condemn bad things, only that we need to do more than just condemn them.

Please read the whole thread again. This is pretty much my position.

And yes, you certainly seemed to be suggesting that the sexual objectification of women was inevitable, since you linked it to “objectification” in your generic sense, and argued that objectification in this sense is an inevitable result of human limitations on information processing.

Be careful. Your biases are showing. Blind spots in a car are inevitable. Collisions because of blind spots aren't inevitable, especially when there is some caution, good design, and prudent driving involved. Just because a certain kind of error exists, doesn't mean that a certain specific subset of those errors are inevitable. That's another kind of fallacy.
Just to address your comment about publication bias – we do have techniques for detecting that across a set of studies on the same subject, namely funnel plots:

I am not cynical about humans living longer etc as this article seems to claim. However I am cynical about the approach of calling everything a moonshot. For Moonshot, there were clearly measure-able goals before you were able to land on moon in say 10 yrs. Now in Cancer research or any research is not executed in the same paradigm as planning a voyage to moon.

Yeah my point maybe a minor one, but I dislike the dumbing down of things or appealing to past glory.

I don't share your conviction that ROI is far more important than any ethical consideration. I seem to recall the KS pitch was full of aspirational language about a democratized future of VR spearheaded by a close-knit team of diehards who wouldn't fall prey to Big Whatever.

You're suggesting that the majority of backers will be mollified by an artifact of the very forces that Oculus promised to avoid; I'm sure some of them will be.
That ISLISP phenomenon is curious. It seems that almost overnight, this counter-group whipped a Lisp dialect seemingly out of thin air, and got it ISO standardized.

Last time I did my first aide certificate here in Australia (late 90s), if the back slapping is unsuccessful, the preferred technique was to lay them down on their side, place your hands under their armpit, flat over their ribs and try short, sharp compressions, squeezing the lungs.

Because the Heimlich technique is so well known, I remember the instructor citing the above as superior because it was less likely to break ribs or do other internal damage.

Caveat: This is in the case of complete obstruction and/or unconsciousness. If it is a partial obstruction, and you can keep the person calm enough to breathe enough, call an ambulance. All first aide is about keeping the person alive long enough for the professionals to take over, not being a hero that solves the problem yourself.

Looked up St John's and it looks like the technique has changed since then: [1] This actually sounds harder for effective compressions though, and requires more strength.

Robotic arm allowing amputees the sensation of touch being tested in Melbourne
If you have no technical background then you should start by learning a programming language such as python. If you do hav a technical background learning optimisation and machine learning has two paths. 1) theory 2) practical. Most of the time in these two fields to start off as a beginner in depth theory knowledge is not required so you can play around with some open source libraries and get started that way.

In terms of iOS and entrepreneurial ventures my opinion is that you shouldn't focus on say "iOS" as you have framed it. Startups is about finding a problem and building a product that people will use. iOS is a tool that will help you to do so. Likewise the product could be a website (so you'd use a different tool to build, such as ruby on rails) so it ultimately comes down to what you want to do.
If you don't have a technical background, even to do a business role in the tech world, it won't hurt to learn one programming language as from there you will have your foot in the door.
Could they not have done something like how paxctl works on Linux? Such as globally enabling it but allowing for application specific control if you have to disable it (either through paxctl/xattr's or some policy file (rbac))?

EV isn't everything; you also have to consider risk.

If you put too much of your bankroll on the line, making even repeated high +EV bets will eventually lead to ruin with probability approaching 1. There's another element at play here due to your finite bankroll; that element is usually called "risk."

Even though it's -EV, insurance can have a real benefit to the buyer through removing their exposure to otherwise ruinous risk.

This is one thing I find a little bit frustrating with the tutorials of various JS tools. They fail to accurately describe a problem that they solve.

Usually you just get a quick paragraph going on about what you can do with the tool, then a quick example of something you could have easily done without the tool, then straight into the full API documentation.

And after I've read all that I'm still saying "Ok, that's kind of cool. But why would I add another dependency to my project when I can code your example up in clean, vanilla JS (or more often in these days, plain old React)".

I'd love to start seeing tutorial documentation address this more. Having a basic example is great, but it shouldn't be the only example. You should follow it up with a more complex example that really captures the reason you built the tool in the first place.
Having code bloat doesn't mean that a process is broken, it comes down to what you are optimizing for. Facebook optimizes for getting new code into production fast. I don't know if @ktRolster stopped reading right after the line he quoted, but his point is addressed in the article:

Our code base has grown organically and its internal dependencies are very complex. We could have spent a lot of time making it more modular in a way that would be friendly to a source control tool, but there are a number of benefits to using a single repository. Even at our current scale, we often make large changes throughout our code base, and having a single repository is useful for continuous modernization. Splitting it up would make large, atomic refactorings more difficult. On top of that, the idea that the scaling constraints of our source control system should dictate our code structure just doesn't sit well with us.
