If someone is looking the broad area between the coasts, they see:

1. Crumbling ghettos (as you describe)
2. Crumbling non-ghetto rust-belt that's still not pretty
3. Rural areas beset by meth and herion.
4. Vast-scale suburbs with indeed little to no culture and fairly thin on jobs.
5. Areas like the coasts but costing close to the price of the coast -

But I'm sure there's good stuff between that.

Also, the City Of St. Louis is certainly the limit of the broad St. Louis ghetto, as the Ferguson events clearly shows. The metropolitan area is basically the 2nd or third most dangerous city in the US (behind Detroit and sometimes New Orleans).
+1. I'm talking to you Sharon! I'm tired of getting your loan application details and RNC propaganda delivered to my inbox.

I'm just as annoyed at companies that don't bother with any kind of email confirmation click-through before sharing personal information though. I even frequently get one-click links to edit people's profiles with all their personal details.

If it includes a phone number I send them a polite text and ask them to be more careful when typing in their email address. I figure a little stranger danger fear might help motivate them to stop signing me up to be spammed.

OTOH I'm seriously considering leaving behind my many years old GMail at this point. I really only use it as an identity service for other site's logins 99% of the time. I just don't know what the options are and I don't feel like signing up for something that might not be around next year.
Is the problem with electric cars in the plug?
Yes, it's local-only. This would seem to have a very limited use case.

Even then, you could always just maintain different local/remote branch names and not need the scripts (git push <remote-repo> <local-branch>:<remote-branch> - and of course, you can set that as default).
Sounds like a great way to get hit with a libel case.
You can make it enforce rules strictly over everything, rather than selectively enforce it on specific applications.
In Guix, we address this problem with grafting.

Rather than rebuild everything that depends on the fixed glibc, we build the fixed glibc, then rewrite all references to the old glibc to refer to the new one. That rewriting happens in new copies of the referring packages, of course, since the "store" is immutable.

If you are making let's say 10 mln a year, that means by lying that NV is your primary residence, you did not pay more than 1 mln in taxes. For getting back that kind of money, Criminal Investigation Bureau of Franchise Tax Board can afford keeping dedicated agent who will follow you and see how often do you actually go to NV and after couple weeks of surveillance when he sees that you do not go there much, he can get court order and:

- Look at your cell phone location information for last several months.

- Use Police's license plate trackers to track your car (Probably they do not even need court order for this one).

- They can get your car's location information (I assume high income people have one of modern expensive cars and most of them have tracker in case it is stolen).

- They can talk to your made(s) (I assume you have one, since you make 10+ mln) and pressure them to tell the true story.

Sounds really dangerous to lie about your location now days when it is so easy to check it, without even leaving the room.
The man was an intellectual giant, and not only because he scored 44/48 on the Titan Test. He will be fondly remembered.
Yeah. The more I mull it over in my head the more I think that it was probably something that seemed like an interesting engineering challenge but was never properly examined as a business decision.
As far as I know, they only have to disclose to the SEC how much money they have invested in equities. Since they don't publicly state total assets under management, we can't really know how much money Renaissance manages. They could have loads more than $52b invested in debt, commodities, currencies, etc.

Canary Watch, One Year Later
I've never been on LinkedIn and they spam me constantly.
When you look at the other things he complains about, you can see he totally wanted it to be true, and so why bother checking it?
I see people lying all the time in life, about everything, then I read stories like this and they seem cringe and unreal with no reason to believe they are true. But there is this pressure to believe them because its about sexism or racism and we should take this story as true because skepticism is bad, I find it really difficult to resolve these feelings of distrust, human beings are just overall untrust worthy.

EDIT: I guess I broke the #ListenAndBelieve rule.
The question is whether you are rating superiority on the overall set of classifications, or the smaller set of problems. I suspect it's a much easier task to make an AI that's better at reducing accidents than the general public, than it is to do that and also be better given a specific set of error conditions, such as "in a direction with a glare, and with roadwork and changed road conditions, correctly notice that the dog running ahead off to the side with people chasing it might be a situation that could spill into the road..."

In this case though, I imagine they allocated far more resources towards positive correlations than exclusions, since they just want a way to get their name in front of you.
As an aside, is it too early for my brain or is the "representing your organization" option contradictory?

"Choose if we can show your profile information on your employer's pages" shows "Yes" but the text below "Hide my picture and profile information from showing up in this section of a job detail page?" says "Yes". So is it showing or hiding that?

Because the impact these issues have on most people is very small and LinkedIn is a useful tool for managing a professional network -- one that can make a real difference in finding a new job. To most people, such a tool is not worth giving up merely on principle. I am bothered by LinkedIn's track record, but still find it worthwhile to stick around.
I think intent factors in. LinkedIn's information was false but (in all likelihood) not malicious.
One of the most successful medical crowdfunding communities is the SENS / longevity community.

You should look at what they're doing.

Typically they are using IndieGoGo, or Lifespan.io, which was created specifically for this goal, or FightAging.org, or longecity.org, or sens.org, and ad-hoc methods with mailing lists and donate pages, but which have raised hundreds of thousands over the past few years. This has emerged organically from the community.

The question you have to answer is why should groups like this use your site given what they're doing now? If you can answer that, you might get somewhere.

No, I think you made the correct decision. Wolfram must finally be learning something about how to make a comfortable verbal approach.
That's a good point, but isn't the distribution of "local boy makes good" stories a bit of an edge case? I mean do we really need AI to do that for us at the risk of something bad happening?

I'm not trying to imply that you personally agree with LinkedIn's decision, by the way; just trying to get my head around why they think it makes sense.
You're right that I didn't check the power of their test, and I'm also not a huge fan of p-value tests. If you want to say that their methodology sucked, go ahead. Skimming their R script, they do appear to have skipped the power analysis.

But that's not what I'm criticizing them for. Statistics is hard and bad stats are forgiveable. I'm criticizing them for ignoring their own numbers when they came out insufficiently clickbaity - that's deliberate dishonesty.
Useful! Love the clean design by the way.
I don't think you're disagreeing with the author. His statement was equivalent to "If you are not a high risk target, SELinux may be a bad choice". Since he used 'unless', I'm assuming his intent was the same as yours, "If you are a high risk target, SELinux is a great option."

Not necessarily. Homebrew compiles stuff for a special prefix then substitutes your own prefix when you install the binary. It doesn’t work with everything (that’s why some compiled packages are available for /usr/local only) but it’s a start.

So many ways to predict how this study is off in the weeds before it even got started.

Doing it for something measurable like interruptions versus a fuzzy thing like "stress" would be so much easier. And then you could take action to improve things, and measure improvement.

RescueTime and others hit this broadly. Anything do it more narrowly?
this is the same as the 35% tariff suggested by donald trump for all nafta products, just in another form and many steps back from global trades. does that mean apple can finally open its own produce market by selling locally sourced apples, apple pies, apple cider? or it's even better that apple could just place some automatic packaging factories next to its warehouses in india and by volume i believe it's more than 75% of apple's main product.
I feel like there's a strong enough of a case use for it, especially since they built the Pixel specifically for the developer demographic. On the other hand, the demographic most interested in using it would also be able to do it themselves without Google lifting a finger.
While I have nothing against SELinux, I feel that modern solutions using containers have made it almost irrelivant.

And now some SE supporters are fighting back in the dirtiest way possible. https://opensource.com/business/14/7/docker-security-selinux Mr. Walsh makes all sorts of claims about things, such as devices, which are never exposed to the container, not being namespaced. It is very bad when someone who is respected and has qualifications goes and spreads lies and insinuations, just because their product is no longer relevant.

A Period of Profound Scientific Change Is Here, but What Does It Mean?
> In short, if you think it's so easy to do, feel free to fix it.

Naturally. The GCC developers have not documented their choices; what GCC actually does is fuzzy enough that a GCC developer who actually worked on the implementation of type-based aliasing optimizations gets it wrong. In these conditions, I am going to fix the fact that they didn't document their intentions (let alone doing what the standard says, since we have established that the standard committee, composed of compiler authors, is not helpful—I don't know what you think this is extenuating circumstances; to me, it makes things worse) by reverse-engineering GCC's assumptions, and extrapolate to what GCC might do in the near future, and help programmers determine whether their C programs might betray them now or soon.

In fact, this is exactly what we have been doing. Drop me an e-mail if you wish to help beta-test it: cuoq at-sign trust-in-soft.com

They use considerably more energy, since each one uses 50W, times 8 halogens in the kitchen=400W just for the lights, vs. 40W if they were LEDs. But then again, the energy saving is not worth anything if the light annoys me. But they are not expensive, halogen GU10 costs $1 each.
Testing "inert" features like this is not necessarily a bad idea. The worst that could happen is it isn't isolated correctly -- maybe you introduce a bug that transgresses its sandbox. Certainly Tesla's software architects spend a LOT of time working to ensure this doesn't happen, but it is a risk.

But there is a recent case where Tesla pushed a software update that resulted in an accident, and it wasn't an inert feature. It was a user interface change.

In 7.1 they added a shortcut for the Autopark feature that worked like this:[1]

1. Double tap the park button

2. Exit the car

3. The car starts moving forward

So... can you guess what could go wrong with this???

Yup, a user accidentally double tapped instead of single tapped and exited the car. The only safeguard against this was an alert on the center console.. but it wasn't a confirmation dialog, it was merely an option to cancel. Terrible UX. The user didn't notice it on the way out the door. And no other safeguards like having to hold onto the key fob to ensure you're paying attention.

So the car moved forward and hit something in front of it that its sensors didn't detect.[2]

What's even worse, Tesla blamed the user.[3] Not the kind of attitude you want in a company pushing updates like this.

> While america was in its infancy - before it industrialized - it too used protectionism as a way to allow its local industries to grow, how is it bad if India is trying to do the same thing ?

I was under the impression that anti-protectionism was one of the least controversial positions among economics. Obviously it can help the specific local industries that are being protected from competition, but it seems almost obvious to me that it's going to be a net negative for the people of India. (I am not an economist.)
I was simply disagreeing with the title of "SELinux is beyond saving." SELinux doesn't need saving for those who have a strong use-case. There are some great lesser alternatives like AppArmor, grsec, TOMOYO, and AKARI if SELinux can't work for you. :)
What is the evidence that Americans wouldn't be better off if there were less protectionism?
