They still pose the same problem as all the other pesticides in that they can one, contaminate the water if misused and two, they accelerate natural selection if misused because they weed out all the pests less the strong and resistant ones. This causes the pesticides to be used in greater capacity and so on and so on.

It's the fastest ad network around. Simple, fast, static, all user-initiated, and we only focus on content (articles, videos, etc that you read on the same site you're already on). We also don't work with any 3rd parties so there's no security or malware risk. Happy to share any technical details.

There are good ad networks out there but in this strange industry, it's all about politics and connections, not tech or UX (which is why we're in this mess in the first place). This is the biggest battle we're fighting with everyone from advertisers and agencies to publishers.

You know, some people seem to scoff at replacement Cs. I'm kind of one of them. I know my reason(s) though. It's not about other languages as much as C itself. I've been with it for awful long time now and I used to think I kind of know my way around it. I've changed that line of thinking, because I know it's not true. I make a lot of mistakes, especially considering memory. At least (almost all of) my code isn't public-facing.

Since I thought I knew C very well, I came to realisation (due to many memory bugs/leaks) that maybe that's not the case after all. What is it then? I can get performance out of it, lots of it (that's one thing I know to do, somewhat at least). That's when I questioned myself and started thinking that it's not that I know C (I don't, after 20 years or so), but that I am very comfortable with it and I don't want to change that comfort. C++ and 90's traumas and post 90's (STL) traumas had a lot to do with it. Now, I'm fishing out for newer languages that would replace C for me, Rust namely, but I'm still falling back to C all the time. Now, I'm thinking that that's just the way it is. I'm a C programmer and that's how it will stay. At least for a long while. I do and have used a lot (A LOT) of languages in my past, but my core is always C (also first language I've learned). I don't program anymore for a living (I do "creative stuff" in film and tv now), so that is now more prominent than any other time in the past. I do stuff for me only and I can pick and choose whatever I want to - yet, it's always C.

You won't go very far by tampering with a single vote. Try coercing with 10 thousand people, and see how easily you are tracked.

The benefit of online votes is that coercion and data stealing are the only flaws we must take care of. Instead of this huge structure trying to cover for all the flaws of paper, we can focus on those two well specified ones.

This is the core of what was upheld:

"No Blocking: broadband providers may not block access to legal content, applications, services, or non-harmful devices.

"No Throttling: broadband providers may not impair or degrade lawful Internet traffic on the basis of content, applications, services, or non-harmful devices.

"No Paid Prioritization: broadband providers may not favor some lawful Internet traffic over other lawful traffic in exchange for consideration of any kind—in other words, no "fast lanes." This rule also bans ISPs from prioritizing content and services of their affiliates."

This is a good thing. Big telcos have been trying to gut the FCC of its power ever since they issued their Open Internet Order: https://www.fcc.gov/general/open-internet

Next stop is the supreme court if they continue to push back against it.
Engagement != learning. If anything, I'd say engagement is closer corelated to output.

According to studies done on musical students (for what
these studies are worth), the ones who practiced in "flow" progressed much slower than those who constantly and deliberately pushed themselves far outside their comfort zone.
Tom Wheeler says this:

"Notably, the Open Internet Order does not affect zero-rating services like T-Mobile's BingeOn or Verizon's Go90, which are intentionally left out of the scope of the order. "I can argue there are some aspects of [zero rating] that are good, and I can argue there’s some aspects of it that are not so good," Wheeler told The Verge in an interview in March. "The job of the regulator is to figure out, 'Okay, now how do I deal with this?'"

Outrageous behavior, followed up by outrageous commentary. This FCC is out of control. How does anyone invest in wireless with regulators like this? Is Tom Wheeler even aware of the chilling affect of commentary like this?

Edit: The quote above is from the fine article.

Wmeredith: I'm talking about is Tom Wheeler, chair of the FCC. In this particular quote, the regulator of the laws is saying (at least as far as I can tell), that he's going to pick and choose which players he regulates. Should I assume you're arguing that my quote from the article is fud, or is it my commentary? Or my interpretation of it?

I'm not being a troll. I have an honest disagreement that this is the right thing to do. Would you invest in any climate with a regulator who says things like this? It seems wildly more risky to me.
Indeed, that's seems like a big weak point: you need to understanding the technology to trust it!

First, I think that's a great news, if the limitation is only human and not logical, because humain can changes (a bit).

Let's look at the digital world currently: Peoples, companies and state, use internet to store and transfer private and valuable informations. All the world financial assets are process on the network, almost everyone use ATM, and store personal picture online etc.
All of this with just a very few percent of the population (people like me and you) knowing "more or less" how this really works!

A main adoption of online voting on the block chain will required efforts for everybody with the knowledge to democratize it, but in fact you don't need to understand all of it to trust it (like when you withdrawing money from an ATM).

We could say right now that everyone owning bitcoin "trust" the block-chain, and I would be surprise if more than 50% of them have read and understand Satoshi's whitepaper and the fundamental basics of the network.

Also at the end, even if it's intellectually new, it's not that difficult to understand even for our beloved parents :)

>Gelatin residuals have no health impacts.

There are religious issues. There are no non-animal sources of gelatin, so that is an issue for vegans or vegetarians. I have absolutely no idea if gelatin used for juice filtering is kosher or halal.

There do exist somewhat more expensive sources of vegetable based biopolymers that are superficially somewhat gelatin like, or there are other technologies to filter juice or whatever, but if none of it is going to be labeled anyway...
In general it means no blocking or throttling by a certain class of ISP. I believe mobile gets an exception as they are allowed to non-discriminatory throttle past a certain "data cap." This includes lower caps for mobile hotspot usage.

Also, T-Mobile is arguably violating non-netrality with its Binge service. The FCC has thus far refused to rule against them. T-Mobile claims this cannot be throttling because you can opt-out of it at any time and upstream providers are not being charged. Seems like this could a slippery slope for wired ISPs to follow.

On top of that, I'm a AT&T u-verse customer who recently cut his TV service with U-verse. I was told that I now have a strict data cap, when before I had unlimited because of that. I would like to see the FCC address these situations as cord-cutting becomes popular. I have a FireTV now with Playstation Vue and HBO Now for at least 1/2 the price of U-verse tv.

Not sure what you're asking as this has nothing to do with AI or anything being discussed here.

If you don't back up your data or use Photos iCloud Library to upload your photos automatically to your iCloud account, then yes, you lose all of your photos.

Probably, but most people aren't going to understand that LibreSignal is different from Signal. We could try to make things work differently for users calling LibreSignal, but that sets us on a path of having to constantly account for all the various 3rd party clients and their various stages of development or support, which as a team of two developers we unfortunately don't have the resources for.

In fact, online voting is such a dangerous idea that computer scientists and security experts are nearly unanimous in opposition to it.

I hate when articles make these ridiculous claims in order to inflate their credibility. Are there problems the security community needs to address before using technology to vote in a democracy? Yes. Is online voting a danger to democracy? No, but there are bigger problems that need to be solved before online voting should be implemented.

Point: I just tried to temporarily remove a freeze on my credit report after the Office of Personal Management (aka, the office for federal employees) lost all of my PII in a large-scale hack that occurred more than a year ago. For those of you interested, all of my credit is essentially frozen indefinitely as a result of this hack. Now, in order for me to validate my own identity, I had to reproduce (sometimes unsuccessfully) a series of data points that anyone with a hard copy of my credit report combined with my OPM breached data could reproduce. The real issue is the fallacy that a human being is uniquely identified by a set of data points (paper or otherwise). This is fundamentally the issue that must be overcome before we can breach issues like online voting reliably. We continue to create systems based on this fallacy of personal identification, and it is creating more problems than it is solving. Again, paper or otherwise.

> It's doesn't have the featureset as PHPMyAdmin but it has a huge advantage in that it's a single PHP file you can upload, make the necessary changes, and then delete

The days of painfully slow FTP servers are long gone where "it's one file" would count as advantage.

This leaves a massively worse UX and featureset.

(We are using adminer for postgresql databases, because there's no better alternative, and it makes me wish phpmyadmin supported postgres every time I have to use it.)
In many ways yes, it was one long war from 1870-1945 that flashed very hot a few times.

I've never been a fan of the "great man" view of history -- easy to teach but barely illustrative -- but there is no question our actions have consequences. The importance of taking the large view is that you can see the larger forces that someone can harness (or that can thwart them). But the claim "if not Julius/Napoleon/Hitler than someone else" is at best hard to prove -- what someone else did would have been quite different. Most likely it would instead have been the usual muddle -- the default state is muddle, with from time to time some demagogue able to weave some strands together and cause general excitement.

This is no different from, say, science. What would Newton have done had he been born 100 years later, or earlier, or 1000 miles east? On the other hand it's easy to see that if he'd not been born we'd have much of the same physics as today.
> What I see instead is shills brushing off concerns with statements like "Plants have produced their own pesticides since basically ever, so there is nothing to worry about."

Hackage is like npm. Anyone can put something up there, but people expect them to be depended on for production stuff. There is another thing called "stackage" - it's a curated set of packages from hackage that are known to work together (due to being run in a continuous build environment), but not all packages are on there.
I think it's worth at least considering that we should give up on relevance. As far as I can tell, nobody has figured out a good way to decide what ads are actually relevant to an individual. So personalized ads tend to come come in one of two flavors:

1. A blast of ads for something you just bought.
2. A blast of ads for something you just decided not to buy.

At best, ads like this deliver zero value to both advertisers and consumers. At worst, they creep people the heck out. Which means they hurt consumers by making them feel stalked, hurt advertisers because nobody wants their brand associated with creepy stalker behavior, and hurt publishers because it only accelerates the proliferation of ad blockers.

This doesn't mean relevance needs to go out the window. People were targeting their ads well before it became vogue to collect people's toenail clippings and feed them into collaborative filtering models. For example, if you're a high end diamond store then you shouldn't need a bunch of whiz kids from San Francisco to tell you that your ad would be better-placed on The New Yorker's site than on The Village Voice.

If you were unaware, ketamine and similar drugs have been used in humans for their incidental antidepressant effects, which has been getting some level of traction for investigation of late.

Discovering which metabolite was responsible for this in mice is a useful step toward trying said metabolite in humans, since the cognitive effects of attempting some of the things that they did to the mice would be...unpleasant, to say the least, if not outright unethical.

In addition, finding the component responsible will permit them to utilize it as a treatment without any of the concerns , difficulties, or stigma associated with being given an IV of a psychedelic addictive substance periodically.
#1) The serotonin theory of depression has seen way better days. There's simply no way you (or anyone) can say with such reductive certainty that your friend is "not producing enough serotonin"

http://bigthink.com/devil-in-the-data/the-chemical-imbalance...

#2) The novel method of ketamine doesn't really appear to be related to the psychedelic trip itself -- indeed many people are using regular sub-threshold doses of ketamine in their self-designed regimens and seem to be getting good results. LSD and psilocybin treatment seems to be mostly about insights gained during the experience -- much like a supercharged therapy session. Ketamine on the other hand, appears to have some sort of mode of action that isn't about insight and is more about a "brain reset" of sorts.

#3) I do agree with you that mental health issues defy reductivity simply because they encompass biological, psychological, and sociological systems that all interact.

No, hackage is just one place where documentation lives, for both base and non-base things. For instance, very much base things have docs there. https://hackage.haskell.org/package/base-4.9.0.0/docs/Data-L....

Clarity about what lives where is one area where the Haskell ecosystem is a bit deficient, in my opinion. Documentation in general doesn't seem to be great.
