It's not different discussion. It's like someone saying "Don't buy iPhones!" and you answering "But they're totally safe, they won't kill you." while ignoring they're produced using child labour.

(Probably iPhones aren't, but almost surely some other products are.)
"There's no such thing as "condolences, but...", and Elon Musk has shown a pattern of this kind of tone-deafness before. Not to say he's not brilliant and not to say autonomous cars won't ultimately save many lives, just that he should either listen to his PR department if he overruled them, or fire his PR department if they did this without him."

Excellent, Doc. Further to the point about these statements and Musk's leadership: not too long ago Tesla would include the fact that nobody has been killed in a Tesla in their public statements. I found it completely inappropriate since we all knew it was just a matter of time, sadly. Again they play with fire, as another death with autopilot will really wreck their statistics.
> Bonus is usually paid out as a reward for short term goals, and that creates incentives to take higher risk in the short term. Total compensation does not have this incentive.

If specific pay structures create bad behaviour then perhaps we should ban them, sure. But banning bonuses in general seems far too broad. How many people complaining about bonuses on this site have pay that includes stock or options - aren't those much the same thing?

Saved? How about robbed?

Not only are the Chinese students crowding out qualified Americans from the few top spots in some of the world's best universities, it is a well-known fact to the FBI that Chinese (and other foreign) intelligence agencies recruit citizens studying in the US to steal research information that the hackers in Shanghai can't as easily get from afar.

My father was a researcher for a major university for decades. He fought tooth-and-nail for every dollar in grant money he could get to create the knowledge that underpins the basic electronics that run our devices. And he would get tens of thousands of hacking attempts from China every single day.

He also spent years building a hardware test environment, and a Chinese grad student that worked in the same lab took the designs and replicated them in China for a tenth of the cost - all without as much as a decent thank you.

But the Chinese pay full price so the few American students who can get in save a little on tuition, so it's all ok.

Done. It should be also noted that this study was retracted shortly after, but under dubious conditions (see https://www.rt.com/op-edge/monsanto-gmo-studies-reports-588/).
Pick two:

1. Feed the world

2. Produce food organically

3. Don't genetically modify foods

Before the Green Revolution (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Revolution) the world was facing a truly bleak scenario that involved massive food shortages. Of course, a large part of the Green Revolution was the usage of new fertilizers and pesticides, which we now understand have significant impact on the environment. GMOs provide a way to continue to realize the benefits of the Green Revolution without all of the chemical-related downsides.

Well...unless you put Monsanto in charge. The real travesty of the current state of GMOs is that things like "Roundup-Ready" plants do nothing to reduce the usage of chemicals. There's also the cautionary lesson of bt-Corn and its impact on Monarch butterflies.

Learn the lessons of the Green Revolution: you can feed the world with modified farming techniques, but those techniques should strive to lessen the impact on the environment and should be implemented carefully to avoid further unintended consequences.

The reason why there are so few women in tech (particularly in computer science) is because software engineering is still culturally seen like a "Man's job" and fewer women enrol for IT or Computer Science degrees at university.

Most of the computer science courses at my uni had only 1 female per 20+ males. Even among women who do want a career in engineering, many tend to choose areas such as chemical or environmental engineering over software engineering.

Unfortunately, most people make important life decisions based on social imagery created by the media and society instead of doing what they really want.
you mean a Ulysses. Hard vowel and all that.
Monocropping really is tangential from whether or not a food is a GMO. As you pointed out, this is not a new phenomenon.

The rat tumor study is also not convincing (to scientists).
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%C3%A9ralini_affair

As far as I've seen, there have been quite a few studies on GMOs. Though, it seems like an odd classification to study since GMOs are all very different.

There's alot of FUD in this post
Zero fatal accidents, but I suspect such a trial would've revealed a lot of near misses and other "adverse events" with the autopilot. There are certainly plenty of YouTube videos - I recall seeing one where it tries to jerk into oncoming traffic.

The right has its climate "skeptics" and the left has its anti GMO people. Both are anti- science as they both ignore the overwhelming scientific literature and cherry-pick datapoints that support their point of view.

The notion that one side is more ignorant or anti-science than the other needs to be put to rest. Both sides have preconceived notions and are anti or pro science depending on if the science fits their preconceived agenda.

Fine. Then lets have Monsanto GMO crops spayed with Roundup undergo exhausting scientific studies that last longer than 90 days, I bet if they agreed to that a lot of people would be more assured of GMO safety.
I think that question can be answered empirically. If you start with the assumption that players of both gender's push themselves to the maximum they can (i.e. they don't stop just because they are "good enough") then it's a matter of measurement...

Take the max/mean/median/mode of a random sample of the stats you can find broken down by gender. If the female stats are close to the male stats then segmentation in that sport is probably artificial.

However, my hypothesis (and I may get down-voted for this) is that for many sports the increased weight, height, and arm/leg length will provide an unfair advantage. I think your WNBA/NBA example may be a good example.

But like all hypothesis it would need to be tested.

Then we have the sports where there are no female leagues at all... for those, woman should at least be allowed to try out for the teams.
it was never about running away from anything, I was coming back in 3 months to things and people I left there. It was about adventure, exposing yourself to new situations, cultures, people, everything. every single day. it gives you huge amount of time to see yourself, introspect, experience yourself in all kinds of crazy conditions, and discover that we humans are amazing, strong beings if we try a bit.

also that monetary wealth and happiness are almost mutually exclusive, but that's another topic :)

as for those goals - while hiking in nepal around annapurna, i met american guy, great fella, who unknowingly changed course of my life in many ways. planted some sort of idea-seed in my head. never expected anything like that to happen, there or anywhere. best thing in my life. but for this, you cannot plan nor prepare. for sure, it won't happen while staying at home.
It is.

I see it more like someone saying (to stick with your example):
"Don't buy iPhones - they'll kill you!", and scientists answering "But they're totally safe, they won't kill you."

Meanwhile, they may be products of child-labour (or whatever other horrible circumstance we may imagine), but that's a different issue from what we are discussing.

Anyway, we're getting off track here:P

Here's the author's conclusion:

All in all, one gets the feeling that, while all those Chinese students aren't going to suddenly go home, the big enrollment increases are probably over. Then again, one might have thought that three or four years ago, too -- and been totally wrong.

This piece contains minimal data + analysis, and no real argument or opinion. It's just a blog thinkpiece with a clickbaity/controversial title. Don't waste your time.
The point is, we know pretty well (based on millions of years of "natural" mutation and evolution) what can and cannot happen in "nature". If you introduce mutation based on human engineering, you could easily (even inadvertedly) develop something very dangerous, e.g. move a gene from a bacterium to a plant, but now all of a sudden this plant becomes as resistant/dangerous as the bacterium was, on a much larger scale!

Compare this with nuclear weapons - humans have in a few decated managed to engineer something way more dangerous than millions of years of "natural" permutations/combinations of atoms.
Also: "... houses with WINDOWS can —and eventually will—be broken into."
I'm developing a distributed temporal KV store in C. My motivation for developing the TKV is my interest in such questions as 'why' data changes and the effect it has on the 'system' in general. I chose to develop the TKV so that 'time' would be handled consistently regardless of source data model.
That's not the kind of caching GP was referring to, at least not to my reading. I think you'd be hard pressed to find any application level caching that could serve up a cache in the nanosecond range. At best you're looking at sub millisecond range, and that's when the cache lives in memory on the same hardware. Application caching on any modern cloud provider is almost always going to be a network call and best case you're looking at sub-10ms response time. And yes, while I definitely agree that it beats hundreds of ms by a wide margin, it can very easily bite you in the ass if you're not very careful about what gets cached. Caching is a performance hack, pure and simple.
We've been using mutagenesis (through radiation or carcinogens) in food crops to introduce random, unspecific genetic changes for many decades hoping to get lucky and make better crops, with no ill effects. These crops are approved under USDA organics standards.

Now, when we specifically modify one or two quantifiable genes in an organism (instead of potentially thousands through mutagenesis or breeding), everyone loses their minds.

Our bodies are built to process DNA that we consume without adding it to our genome. This is why we can eat a steak without suddenly inheriting bovine genes. For a time, DNA can be found in our bodies from things we consume, but a fragment of DNA is not the same thing as a functional gene, and even if it were, it'd have to actively put itself in our cells somehow, and replicate.

A basic high school understanding of genetics is really all you need to understand that these breeding techniques are largely the same as what happens in the wild and what we've been doing for ages, if not actually safer since they're far more controlled.
There is near certainty that science was not involved in the creation of this paper.

They're the same thing. The first (Cat(arg)) is the same thing as the second (Cat.new(arg)). The reason for the distinction is...umm...I'm still not sure if I want to eventually include classes as values the way that other things are values.

If you're grabbing the constructor as a function, for example, then it's a bit more sensible to use Cat instead of Cat.new. I don't know...it seemed at the time neat to allow a shorthand way of constructing something, but it's kinda wonky.

I would expect the most populous country to send the most people to the US for education. Especially one with a rising middle and elite class. The only thing that's holding India back is the poverty, middle class isn't growing as fast as China. Most Indian immigrants I've met here already have degrees.

The division between state-sanctioned invasion of individual privacy (in this case) and draconian sanctions on trivial "penetration" actions (like changing the UUID in a URL) for corporate entities using the CFAA is really contradictory.

We need to turn it around: draconian punishments for "law enforcement" members who violate the constitution, and protections for individuals who tinker, probe, or explore without malicious actions/intent.
Not just broken into, just peered into. Do not have windows if you expect any privacy.

And of course, do not speak at home (or do not expect any privacy).
What we could do it triple the cost for each Chinese, and give two Americans citizens a free ride. Does socialism only work one way? Right->Left?

This article ignore a few opinions/facts:

1. Chinese are taught the US is their enemy, and that they should come here to learn our strenghts and weaknesses and take them back to China.
2. Chinese poeple have a history of stealing intellectual property through universities and everywhere else. The lack of moral and ethical judgement is stunning and sad.
3. Chinese have manipulated their currency including tieing it do the dollar, which is on par with just printing fake money for your citizens. Therefore citizens are now 'new rich', and can afford to buy what hard-working citizens of other countries can't because their countries don't manipulate their currencies.
4. US lets in anyone willing to pay in cash, mostly. Anchor babies, investment citizenship, expedited services for the wealthy, etc.
5. US has race quotas as a legal precendent, where the universities can set the amount of Asians, etc that are accepted, regardless of qualifications. Not up to par? Who cares, let them in, they got the cash...
6. US has the best colleges in the world, and has for some time. Do you think the Chinese want to study in Tibet?
Yes, you have a point there :)

As someone who was an adult and working with computers in 1999 the first thing that comes to mind is that storage was way more expensive back then. I remember paying a ton of money around then for an Iomega ZIP drive that held 160MB on disks that cost $99 each if I recall correctly. The idea that massive amounts of inconsequential log data with little business purpose from that era is just lying around is not very plausible.

Certainly a lot of FUD on my part - nothing wrong with that, that how scientific progress should be validated IMO).

"The bizarre reports come only six months after Elsevier created a special new position, Associate Editor for Biotechnology (i.e. GMO), and filled it with a former Monsanto employee who worked for the giant Monsanto front-organization, the International Life Sciences Institute, which develops industry-friendly risk assessment methods for GM foods and chemical food contaminants and inserts them into government regulations. Sound like something wrong with this picture?"

How about stopping to use stupid and confusing terms like "G.M.O."?!

Manufacturers should be forced to label their plants explicitly with one of a set of standard labels like:

- "engineered to be tolerant to spececific herbicides" - ETH

- "engineered to be tolerant to specific insecticides" - ETI

- "engineered to be tolerant to specific fungicides" - ETF

- "engineered for better performance with the use of specific synthetic fertilizers" - EPSF

- "engineered for improved performance in all conditions" - EP"

- "engineered for better nutritional profile" - ENP

etc. And I should see this on the ingredients listing on my cereals package, like "ETH/I/F corn" or "EP corn" instead of just "corn".

There is no way to both (a) respect consumers' rights and (b) shield them from technical details. And what such technical terms mean should actually be inserted into secondary education curriculums worldwide - children should have to learn what genetical engineering is and how it is used just as they have to learn to read and write. We live in a world where technical details make all the difference and we should start educating ourselves and our children to be less illiterate about them!

Lets stop this whole process of consumer dumbification and extensive usage of "blanket terms" in all areas. This is the most damaging thing for consumer rights imho, because you can't have clear meaningful discussion about things without making clear distinctions about what specifically are you talking about! "GMO" can mean... anything!
