That's not true. Riot expects you to have a level 12 account before hiring you, and then they convert that account to a riot account after hiring you. So the time you spent playing on your private account before joining the company counts toward your total player behavior. Additionally, I know several riot employees and they all play on their main riot account in their free time.

It's the worst terrorist attack on US soil since 9/11 and
there are almost zero threads about it.

The mods are deleting things according to ever-changing standards. Reddits move toward censorship has been documented before. This is particularly jarring.
My apologies. The community is actually quite welcoming to beginners.

For context, these arguments made by the original poster have been around for _years_ in the Clojure community and, frankly, those of us who have also been around for years are tired of hearing the same old complaints. It's particularly annoying because: the core team has made multiple announcements in past days/weeks about improvements to exactly what he's complaining about!
Wonderful work! Keep it up!
Curious as to how badly this whole thing affects SXSW?

According to you two random greens.
Trump might talk a lot, but we know what Clinton has done with her voting record and her interactions behind the scenes interactions with Obama as Secretary of State. It's surprising /frustrating to me so many Democrats on my Facebook glaze over this when considering her over Trump or even Sanders. Yeah, she has experience. But she also has some very poor choices in her voting record (including Iraq) and is simply part of the traditional American foreign-policy establishment.
> The problem isn't coming up with an algorithm that works (i.e. more wins than losses).

An algorithm that works would also include the ability to limit losses. An algorithm might be correct 9 out of 10 times, but may lose more in a single transaction than what it earned in those 9 winning transactions.
The comments on that page are more fascinating than the article itself. Many people chiming in and describing their own personal brand of time/calendar visualization.
Interesting. Mine goes clockwise, with the line between December and January at 6 o'clock.

Agree I doubt it is really as rare as the article makes it seem.
Don't think so, the Americans gave the Aussies the E3 as quid pro quo for fighting with us in Iraq; it's not a bi-directional agreement.
i think attempts at popularising of a lot of science is hindered by language compression

for instance, calling one element hydrogen and another helium from a natural language perspective seems to imply they are completely different things when in reality they are essentially the same thing differently configured that interact with the universe in completely different ways

as for strings, my understanding is they are particles considered with consequence

from the wiki(o):

> The starting point for string theory is the idea that the point-like particles of quantum field theory can also be modeled as one-dimensional objects called strings.

so zero dimensional objects, or particles, modeled as one dimensional objects, or vectors, or lines, or.. erm, strings?

string theory is concerned with interactions, map these interactions through point-likes: . . . ; and you get a string : .-._. ;

like how animation has individual, often disparate, frames but our eyes model the scene as a fluid, consistent, connected string of motion (i)

but these are mathematical models stead something you can tie your shoe with (ii)

from this explanation strings explaining the double slit makes sense because 'particles should act this way, why do they reliably act a different way' is answered by saying 'interactions'

that said, i dislike the probabilistic explanation of quantum mechanics which seems entwined with double slit explanations and as such my hope is future science will show the outcome of the double slit is a consequence of bad assumptions about the experiment and its equipment stead some underlying universal expression of quantum mechanics

Blood storage for autologous transfusion has apparently already been a thing for a while[1] and has been indicated to be effective in animal experiments[2], but as far as I can tell, no provider is willing to store it for more than about 20 years (and what is stored may not in fact contain stem cells, but rather only something that spurs the existing ones into activity). My general impression is that the medical community's moral gut reaction is unfavourable towards the idea.

I was in the 2016 LA Dodger's accelerator and spent the better part of 3 months without a car in LA / Marina Del Rey last fall - used Lyft and Uber daily.

- Grocery (once a week, group buying). We initially walked the 20 minutes (exercise?) but was $5 lyft / uber away.

- Gym, Beach, Marina, often independent, used Uber Pools, occassionally ran the distance.

- Office, we'd carpool and was about $10/day in commuting cost.

- Getting to specific game day bars, beaches was probably the most expensive (and most traffic) that we encountered, typically $10-$30 each way.

- Getting downtown or to Sunset was $10/way one night thanks to Lyft. Pools / Lines were often cheap like this.

Lyft weekday promotions helped a bunch. I was very surprised at the end of the program when I realized that other than the commutes to work (otherwise expensed), my regular trips to the beach, downtown la, and Sunset, I spent < $200 on all trips.

(I might have entirely misinterpreted your comments, but they're definitely thought provoking -- and I only have more questions)

Are you suggesting that there might be 2 or more diseases that present as MS, some of which might be psychologically caused? If this was true, is there a process to look for this?
Or that we don't know anything at all about MS since 'its' effects that we know to look for could be caused by the depression that comes with a debilitating condition?

Is there a point where if a costly placebo grants amazing results, is it was worth 'going through the motions' anyway to save lives \ greatly improve the quality of life?

The city of Toronto absorbed many suburbs a while ago, so the metro area isn't much bigger than the city proper. So Toronto (just the city) is bigger than Chicago (just the city), whereas metro Chicago is much bigger than just Chicago.

Lies, damn lies and statistics.
Human affairs are a marathon, not a sprint. Pace yourself.

Also, I've learned to embrace incrementalism and transactional politics (quid pro quo).

Lastly, if you bring the heat, the targeted policy maker(s) will see the light. The color of their logo won't be a factor. Sanders' campaign, and massive following, absolutely moved Clinton to the left.
I love that he went from being a network admin to the savior of the internet. At what point in his career did he have perfect visibility into every topic he's quoted on. He wasn't even a part of the groups he tried to out (TAO). My guess is he was genuine in his curiosity, something happened that frustrated him (maybe he was worried about being let go from yet another contracted position, maybe he was denied on his application to join the Remote Operations Team in TAO for the third time due to lack of technical acumen and personality conflicts.....). My guess is through Greenwald and Co, he was sold a narrative to drive him to collecting data they otherwise wouldn't have had (he himself was socially engineered). It's amazing how much money they've made off the leaks and yet that topic hasn't really come up at all. Everyone has a motive, many have multiple.
After being in the Bay Area for the past 7 years, I'm moving back to Toronto next week. Can't wait.
Cygwin is quite slow due to problems emulating fork (large builds take forever!), plus the package support is spotty. I'm excited because I can eventually ditch Cygwin and VMs for much of my Linux compatibility testing and cross-platform work. And I'm glad Microsoft is finally putting some effort into this long-neglected area.

For the moment, I'm still stuck with Cygwin, shaking my head a bit too.
In Toronto, I'd tend to say the main tent-pole companies of the scene are clique financed, and know the ins and outs of subsidies. There is quite a bit of skill in the area; but the climate of risk aversion leads to depending on countless hackathons to substitute for any true R&D. Nice city, though tough to find a job.
In my experience having friends go through this, the most verifiable, rational repudiations of delusions are still useless during an episode.

However, they can be very reassuring after an episode has subsided.
> Imagine if somebody came up with a baseball with a magnet in it that was attracted to the catcher's glove. The catcher now has most of the control as to where the ball goes and all the pitcher is doing is applying speed to the ball. Would that be a natural advancement of the sport? Or would it be cheating?

Imagine if somebody invented a hollow aluminum baseball bat that could hit the ball much farther than a wooden bat could.
The interface will have to be `unsafe`, yes (that is, there are conditions that the code calling the functions must satisfy to avoid memory unsafety), but the internals can control this unsafety and avoid having more: libc's have vulnerabilities that are not caused by their inherently unsafe interface.

The power of Rust is the ability to package up `unsafe`ty behind safe interfaces without adding unnecessary cost, so that most users don't have to be super-careful about avoiding memory corruption. This still works at a low-level like in the implementation of a libc or an operating system[1].

Also, Rust is a more expressive language, which helps avoid bugs (e.g. enums/discriminated unions means the programmer can't accidentally access invalid state), allows writing shared algorithms and data structures efficiently once instead of needing to do the bug-prone task of reimplementing (or taking a performance/safety hit with void*), and, subjectively, may be nicer to read/write .

The type of approach used has limited effect on survivorship bias, what matters is the number of people employing different approaches and the size of the effect. So if machine learning approaches can produce real results, the data will show this. Survivorship bias is real, but it is not the full story.
Time is not seen. However one does, or does not, spatially relate the pittance of that which we call memory is hardly what could be construed as 'seeing time'.

I did some googling out of curiosity and was actually kind of surprised to find out that, statistically, synesthesia affects about 3-5% of the population. Certainly uncommon, but not as rare as I expected.

Security and safety isn't a binary relation, it is a continuum.

I think what you are experiencing is a transitive-covering fallacy. The safeties with which you are speaking aren't the same type or the same units. The argument you making is often made by people on security discussion lists to _prove_ that modifying X to make it more secure is pointless because there is still a small possibility of Y.

If you can actually reliably generate alpha from a model like this there is no point of running the strategy yourself. There are any number of hedge funds that will sign you on, let you keep all of the IP you develop, and give you 10-12% of any returns you generate. That sounds small, but it's mitigated by the fact that you will have access to potentially billions of dollars in capital to trade if your strategy has the capacity for it. So you get 10% of a much bigger pie, with way less downside risk. Plus you get access to all their internal trading systems, execution services, data feeds, etc, which are usually orders of magnitude better than what an individual has access to.
Shhh. Poe's law is getting me upvotes.
This is a serious question.

what differentiates these people from those who say they were born with the wrong genitalia? In both cases there is evidence to the contrary of the person's claims (no one is watching the paranoid person, a person's genitals exist as they exist). Why do we accept a transgendered person as being reasonable but a paranoid person as not?
Yeah, the pay here in Toronto is much lower, even when you account for cost of living vs. San Fran.

One consideration that offsets that is medical insurance. If your health care is not fully covered by your employer.

I ran some numbers once and the "rent difference" was roughly $3k (typical 1 - 2 bedroom apartment at $4k vs. The roughly $1k I spend) and the platinum medical looking like roughly $500/mo

Add in a car, ($0 in Toronto, $1000 in The bay w/ parking, insurance, gas & the vehicle)

All said and done, $55k appears to make the cost of living difference "break-even"

If I'm on roughly $100k in Toronto, $155k would be even. Now that doesn't adjust for exchange rate, so you might get ~20% play there. Maybe the $135k median I've read about is roughly on target in terms of total food cost, etc...)

I think there'd be some cachet to having a "big five" employer on your resume, so a year or two in one of the mega-shops would add value to future earnings if you started looking elsewhere, or a handful of other unicorn-class names might have a similar impact.

All in all, I'm not convinced that taking a San Fran gig would necessarily feel like streets paved with gold and scooping up baskets of money (which grows on trees), so much as it'd be a nice, sunny, ultra-nerdy town in the heart of movin' & shakin'

Incidentally, if anyone would like to disabuse me of any errors in my napkin math, I would welcome it. I'd love to get a more realistic idea of the difference.
If Waterloo is part of Toronto, you may as well count in Hamilton, Oakville, and Milton as well. Hell, throw in Niagara Falls.

> those drugs actually help more than they hurt

It seems pretty obvious that they hurt more than they help, but for many people, the alternative to a lifetime of constant, horrible spiritual anaesthesia is occasional bouts of explosive delusions which lead to behavior that's dangerous to the patient and to others.

Which would you chose?
Except you can't prove that. Are they going to directly say, Satelite XYZ in geostationary orbit was monitoring data link 111322, during which we captured intelligence on platform 2342342 which resulted in a lead then passed on to domestic intelligence agencies. Nope, not going to happen. Everyone here likes to talk about the government and their parallel construction when it supports a negative notion, yet forget that it's also a legitimate tool to protect origination sources.
You'll only be shamed (by me) if you go write a long blog post complaining about it. I don't represent the entire community. Otherwise, you'll be politely corrected and have the tradeoffs explained to you in IRC or Slack. My apologies if I've given you any other impression.
> My first thought upon reading that sentence was, "Isn't it a team sport?"

Well, the impression I get from reading the piece is that this is supposed to reduce the thrower's contribution to nearly zero. That's not a nonsensical complaint in the face of the question "isn't it a team sport?"; they're trying to preserve a role for one of the team members.

You could just as easily replace the thrower with a controlled machine launch (in fact, the broom testing mentioned in the article already uses such a machine), and you'd have a pretty similar sport, but they don't seem to want to.
Sunday is not an objective fact - it's a human convention. Two things that couldn't be more opposite things, in that one doesn't change no matter what people say, and the other is precisely defined by what people say.
I do love Canada, but New York City has nearly all of those same positives which you list (other than universal health care), to an even greater extent. And you can get bay-area level salaries there (as opposed to Toronto, where your salary is half what it would be in the bay area)
Hyperloop was conceived by Elon Musk as much as Multitouch was invented by Steve Jobs.

I do "government watchdog" work, have bipolar and have dealt with paranoia on a relatively unhealthy level before and to some extent, now.

It's not fun. It's very hard to determine what's "real", who's telling the truth and who's trying to "get me". I've spoken to my psychiatrist about this multiple times, but every time I bring it up, he says that it's a perfectly rational feeling to have considering what kind of work I'm doing and that thinking through it is all I can do.

To make matters worse, I met up with a journalist the other day to discuss a couple large projects I'm working on. Later in the night, I was mugged. My phone, license and credit cards were stolen. My bag with my laptop, etc wasn't stolen, though. It's very hard to express the sorts of paranoia it caused. The lack of empathy, lack of cops in a usually cop-laden area and a genuine lack of interest in checking city camera footage didn't help.

What's worse is that talking about it makes others consider you a paranoid crazy person. There's very little area for discussion, because the default discussion is, "stop acting crazy", rather than "Let's discuss why you feel this way."

Fairly standard to use this in a core network to improve link failure detection, even "fast" routing protocols can take a few seconds to hit a dead timer for troublesome links.

The key with using this in some networks is there may be multiple networks or ISPs between your two routers, so links may look up but could actually be dropping traffic.

However not too clear why you'd want this on a server?

Most servers support bonding of NIC interfaces, quickly detect NIC and physical link issues, and don't use routing protocols which are what benefit from this quick detection.

"Sci-Hub can be cheap because it piggy backs on the process after the vetting and curation are done. But that's like comparing apple to oranges."

Thats actually the most important counter in your post. It's a good point as they do effectively piggyback on the curation process. I think there's still a smaller comparison to be made if we look at the web. All kinds of people post all kinds of stuff. Good stuff eventually makes it into paid or free places that curate it for various communities. Yet, I can access any of these public sites at any time. I can look myself, follow a recommendation made on a forum, go to a free site offering links to good resources, or go to paid site claiming higher quality. Whereas, with main publishers in academia, I have no such options: paid, expensive, and for a long time. Let's get to the costs you describe, though, as it's the meat of your counter.

"If we look at non-profit publishers like PLoS"

Doing that was going to be my proposal as they filter out the fat that comes with management-heavy for-profits. Good you beat me to it.

""methodological review" and "impact review". "

Do you have a link to what goes into methodological review, esp good review, so I can try to assess how to reduce its cost?

"processing charges between $1,500 - $3,000 per article"

That should be easy to cover with non-exhorbitant, subscription models plus some charge to submitting organization. Such articles, after costs recovered, should become free with journal subscription. I think your organization is already doing something like that with one of the startups, though.

"came out to be about $14,000 per article."

This is where publishers won't be able to absorb the costs unless they're charging an arm and a leg. I think the article's recommendation of it coming out of grant money of submitting organization is best one. Want to get prestige? Then review is a cost of doing it. Could be uphill battle but I agree nobody can offer anything free unless such costs are covered externally or with charges for a period of time.
Is there really still a separate Carte Bleue payment network? The brand was sold to Visa Europe in 2010 and there are no mentions anymore on the websites. I would be surprised to learn that they still operate a different network.
