The root cause is damage. That is the mainstream view in the research community, for all that there is a lot of debate over which damage is actually fundamental and which damage is more important, or how the damage progresses in detail.

Then there is secondary and later damage caused by systematic dysregulation resulting from the root cause damage. Then there is adaptation to damage, primary and secondary and later, which is some cases is beneficial and some cases not. E.g. epigenetic changes, stem cell quiescence, cardiovascular remodeling, etc.

I'm vaguely optimistic about DNA methylation patterns as the basis for a biomarker precisely because they are not damage, but rather a reaction to that damage. In a way they are an evolved damage assessment, or at least they might be used in that way. We'll see how it pans out in practice over the next five years or so.

They created a Turing machine that may run forever. However we can't prove that. It could stop the next second, or tomorrow, or the day after.

They also proved however that you'll never see it halt. Because that would be a proof of consistency.

It's one of the usual outcomes of war in general. Humans have been maiming, burning, torturing, cutting, asphyxiating, and otherwise abusing other humans for all of recorded history.

The only difference is that nuclear weapons are industrialised death machines - much more efficient than the usual manual methods.
I'm sorry I didn't realize we were playing musical chair or something. Saying that the US does worse is not really a defense. What will you say next? "India has never used nukes in a war but the US has"?

> I think the equation is whether to srve the interests of 300-400 million indians living in these areas or that of 100+ million in Bangladesh.

Is that what we're going to do? give 4/5th of the water upstream and 1/5th the water downstream because that's the population differential? Or wait, the population of India is 1B+.

> even then India has acted generally to protect everyone's interest

I won't try to defend the actions of the US government. However, it is very disingenuous to suggest that Indian government will be able to make a stand against its own people. I don't mean to say this is out of malice. I just think we're setting ourselves for failure if we think the government of a bigger nation which is responsible only to its own citizens can act to protect everyone's interests.
I'm sorry but I just don't get this, in your previous comment, you mentioned:

You are more than free to re-implement anything Rails does yourself and release it as a gem. Modularity and flexibility are built right in.

And right here, you also mentioned:

I'm not surprised he found it difficult to actually integrate into Rails. Rails is a framework. You don't treat a framework like a library. It's not going to play nice with your design because frameworks by their very nature impose the design on you.

So which one is correct here?
It depends: what does it do when? What does it do when the interpreter parses that line? What does it do when you call `save` on an object? What does it do when you call `create`? What does it do when you call `create!`? Etc. etc.

Of course, you always have to know how the tools you're using actually work, but Rails does have a tendency to make it seem like you don't, and to defaults that make it perhaps too easy to create bugs caused by mistaken intuition.
A parametric test is making an assumption about the distribution of the random variable, not it's mean.

Inside many of these tests, they might make use of CLT assumptions of sample means, but that doesn't mean they don't still depend on the distribution assumptions.

Skewness is a major consideration and can lead to completely different inferences.

Let's say we wanted to find the median and our distribution was assumed to be normal. Under no skewness, the sample mean would be a good approximation. Under skewness the sample mean would be a very bad approximation.

If the test in question is solely about the mean of the random variable, and nothing else about the distribution, then it's possible that the normality assumption only need to extend as far as the sample mean (ala t-test). But that's hardly a parametric test anymore is it?
Interesting, could you provide some examples?
Bad customer behavior aways seems to go along with ending up with less money for the job in the end.

Particularly as a freelancer, you only have so many billable hours in a week. You can spend those hours with people you enjoy, and make more money, or with people who make you miserable, and make less money. Pretty obvious choice.
Would being drunk help? In drunk driving crashes the drunk driver survives more often than the others directly involved in the collision, but I've never gotten a definitive reason why...

In Australia, the extermination of all Tasmanian aborigines was definitely not taught in highschool, in at least the late 80s when I went. It's not suppressed at all, and plenty of people are aware of it, but it's certainly not taught (or at least, wasn't at that time).
I call BS on this. India has always been a good neighbor. If that wasn't the case we would never have been able to resolve the long standing border dispute that existed between India and Bangladesh: http://www.news18.com/news/india/prime-minister-narendra-mod...

The question that really needs to be asked is: Does India have good neighbors? China and Pakistan illegally occupying lands in Kashmir and Arunachal Pradesh, illegal immigration from Bangladesh into North-eastern Indian states, Sri Lanka capturing and killing Indian fisherman, the list goes on and on.

EDIT: There is already a Water Treaty between India and Bangladesh over sharing of Ganges waters at Farakka: http://www.jrcb.gov.bd/attachment/Gganges_Water_Sharing_trea...

You still have doubts over India having bad faith in negotiating with it's neighbors? Give me one instance where India has broken a pact with it's neighbors?

A blockade would have meant total famine for the Japanese people, probably killing many more than the bombs did. In fact, in the aftermath of the surrender, millions were close to starvation. And that was with tens of millions of dollars in food aid. It took years to end the threat of famine to Japan.

Indeed. The practical design is probably something more like a large air bag as used in ski jumping http://www.magicfr.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/babsnowboa...
You're making the assumption that you -need- the other side to sign an agreement. Japan was completely contained by the US at this point in the war.

This was a decision to hasten the end of the war, but did we ever actually leave? We still have bases in Japan. This was about hastening an end with a guarantee that the US would have full control of Japan.

Please don't misunderstand me though, Japan needed to be defeated thoroughly, it had acted and performed gross injustices against many people in the world. But these bombs were not necessary.
I have no problem with America bombing Japan with nuclear weapons. They (and Germany) deserved what they got, they started a world war and we finished it. All this American angst and apologia is coming from the anti-American intellectuals in the US. They have been spreading their propaganda unopposed for decades. The US is NOT GUILTY and owes no apologies whatsoever, Obama's pathetic mea culpa trip to Japan notwithstanding. For all you rationalists who like thought experiments (pretentiously called gedanken experiments by the same intellectuals); imagine what the world would be like if Germany and the Japanese had won WWII.
I'm definitely on the same page. Just check my Twitter. The writing is on the wall. Although I'm not personally sold on Trump (more on the #BernieOrBust side), I can certainly see the appeal of Trump over HRC, given her very questionable history in politics.
@kchoudu,

1. My comment is debunking your allegation of India being a perpetual bad actor in South Asia (no good faith)

2. May I remind you the biggest beneficiaries of Farrakah and Interlinking of Ganges and Brahmaputra are "Ethnic Bengalis". "genetic brothers and sisters" of people of BD not some Punjabi in Delhi is benefitting out of it nor a Kannadiga in Bangalore.

3. Superpower, what a cheapshot! Its so easy to mock BD and I have chosen not to, because I respect the people who are given a bad hand, shitty government, bad geography and with climate change would eat away lot of land, you know, may be you/your friends might have bailed out to west, but when BD has any big problem India is the only option, and hey, look at Rohigyas in Burma!
> I ask myself if this person is really just complaining about how complex web dev is

A major problem with rails is it tries to "simplify" the inherent complexity of web development by using abstractions & mappings that ultimately increase incidental complexity in the entire stack.
For the most part, if you get your minimum protein (80-120g depending on lean mass) and stay under 100g sugars a day, calories are calories. You should take in an appropriate amount for your lean body weight on average.

All of that said, it isn't easy, but there are many calorie tracker apps you can use to help. Once you start tracking everything it becomes pretty easy to be mindful of what you're taking in... it's not always easy to think in terms of how many calories certain meals have. It's okay to have a 1200 calorie meal once in a while, but it's not okay to have a 1200 calorie meal twice a day, with a few snacks, soda/sugar-coffee, etc. It all adds up.

That and sugar is one of the most inflammatory things you can take into your body, especially refined sugars. Refined oils aren't much better though.
Hitler offed himself and Germany surrendered months before the bomb was dropped on Hiroshima. Your thought experiment has no bearing on reality because Germany had already long lost the war.

Chapel and the other two languages were part of the HPCS project. An HPCS goal [was] to create a multi petaflop systems [1]. Erlang is not really the kind of language you can use to build such systems. It's not that Chapel (or the other two) 'obsolete' Erlang, it's that they were built with completely different goals in mind.

If only it was that easy. On the broadest strokes monetary policy effects tend to be delayed and do minor changes until you hit a tipping point then effects rocket on a direction. No-one really knows where the tipping points are as there a bunch of variables and unknowns in every scenario so you dont really know until you 'found it'. The old quote something like "economics is someone looking backwards telling us why stuff happened".

Secondly, policy makers should manage monetary policy in conjugation with fiscal policy. But fiscal policy can a much harder political fight or have different groups/ideologies controlling it. So monetary policy often runs as a solus activity making its effectiveness limited.

It's many years since I visited, but the atomic bomb museum in Hiroshima has an exhibit that appeared to cover the evidence surrounding this pretty exhaustively.

My vague recollection is that most of it was evidence of perception on the US side that Japan was ready to surrender - as opposed to evidence about specific back-channel negotiations.

It was a good book. It basically showed assholes do a lot of damage and advocated reducing their impact in organizations. The idea doesn't necessarily mean full, passive-aggressive enabling. One can just ban more obvious asshole behavior and enforce a principle of treating people with respect as another commenter said. That combined with respecting people's key differences, often used in passive-aggressive attacks, should reduce the number of serious bullying a lot. Especially if whole organization is onboard.

I can't site anything specific as I gave it away. It was just a good reminder to strategically eliminate assholes (not dissent) if I ran a company.
I own a 2014 Nissan Leaf. Except for the battery and motor, almost every technology in the car is what you'd find in a regular vehicle. Any obsolescence can be dealt with by a battery upgrade (motors are a century old technology, I doubt that'll improve much in 5-10 years).

The Spolsky article is about Netscape 6. That rewrite took 3 years, during which time (1997-2000) they lost ~80% of their users to competing browsers? It may have been amazing software, but not a success. Firefox/Netscape 8 was 2005ish.
A related niche thing I'd go for would be flight that when arriving at the destination city would drop to 10,000 feet, open a door and allow any passengers carrying parachutes to jump out before continuing to the airport. Much more entertaining than getting a cab.
Not sure I see what's going on here (it's just a blog post linking to other blog posts?), but is this arguing that Apple should turn the safety of Swift back into the unsafe mess of Objective-C? Horrifying stuff like swizzling, respondsToSelector tricks, etc.? That's what Swift is trying to get away from!

Some of the classes in Apple's frameworks need to be overridden, some of them cannot be overridden, some of them don't both to call their overridden accessors - it's a mess! You can only discover this stuff by reading the documentation (if it's even there), when it ought to be enforced by a strict compiler.

If the U.S. had instead somehow parachuted in 200,000 troops to Hiroshima, and then lined up and shot to death 100,000 men, women, children, elderly people, hospital patients, etc., and then burned every building down to the ground, would that be okay? What if by doing so it would end the war?

Even if there were going to be many U.S. military casualties (which I doubt, although I know this is debatable), that doesn't in any way justify killing civilians. It's a tragedy of World War 2 (and Korea and Vietnam to lesser extents) that our leaders thought this was an appropriate way to fight a war.

You made the false claim "economic liberty meant slavery".
Freedom to enslave people is not an increase in economic liberty, it contracts the economic liberty of the enslaved persons.

It was the pursuit of the economic liberty to democratically determine the disposition of one's taxes upon which the country was founded. The country was not founded to preserve slavery. It is a pitiful and offensive rhetorical trick to suggest otherwise.

Where did my comment suggest that there was a disbelief in taxes on principle? That is your delusion, not mine.

Ok, fair enough. I could have seen it being either way, but I've mostly only read the big reports about nation-state actors, so I'm probably biased to see it that way.

As a separate note, state actors can be very amateurish. The Chinese did things, as disclosed by the Mandiant APT1 Report, like taunting users, using very non-native English phishing messages,and leaving plaintext signatures as a means of bragging.

I know two people who present a non-sex-specific identity to the world, and both have a preference for being called "they". Most friends and family respect that preference.

If the Japanese were so willing to surrender, why did it take two atomics bombs before they finally did? And keep in mind they tooks days to surrender after the second one.
I'll admit they're a lot better than they used to be, but the GM rental cars I've had since 2008 haven't been all that great. For instance, they still have the idiotic put-everthing-you-can-on-a-single-stalk mentality instead of putting lights and wipers on separate stalks like the Japanese. A friend of mine has a 2010 Impala and the interior in that is still pretty lame, and worse it's inflicted with the common problem that GM cars had for a whole decade where the cheapo vent control motors would break a gear tooth and make clicking noises.

Air resistance affects lighter stuff more, proportionally, and gives it a lower terminal velocity. A mouse can be dropped and survive (maybe with broken limbs) from almost any height, as there's not a lot of mass behind it and the air will keep it from going too fast.

This is in contrast to the Galilean experiment where you drop two things and they fall at the same rate regardless of mass - this is true in a vacuum but not in atmosphere.

It's not that Japanese people are hiding their history. If there are clear evidences that are not flawed and could not be denied, they will not deny, but admit and apologize. For example, there was the famous Korean sexual slavery issue coined by Seiji Yoshida that later he and Asahi Shimbun admitted it was a complete fiction. This revealed that the comfort women issue was not about slavery but prostitution.

Why do you apologize for the thing if it wasn't true? The thing which is making complicating is that the Chinese government is promoting hatred towards the Japanese government as a propaganda and is exaggerating the results.

Do you really believe the claims of the country which has the Great Firewall? Do you really believe the country which the government is officially producing anti Japanese movies? Do you believe the country which hides the Tiananmen Square Incident and the ongoing killings of the people in Tibet and Xinjiang?

There are suspicions of the claims and the numbers coming from such country.
Also, just seems like a a marketing/headhunting ploy. :/
