If nothing else she took bribes in exchange for weapons sold to Middle East. This destabilizes the region even more (if that's possible).

Can't that argument be extended to, say, uint8_t, and from there to all sorts of computed values?
What the other guy said.

Hillary stored classified information on a privately owned email server. Snowden collected a cache of classified documents and gave them to foreign journalists. There's really no comparison between the two. One is an instance of careless information security by someone who found the official systems inconvenient to use and the other is deliberately disclosing classified information.
In a perfect world, map and filter would extend the Array prototype, which is how the language was designed to be extended.

That aside, to me, putting the data argument first would seem to make the code more readable.
Right. The presence of 400,000 U.S. troops during the Cold War might also have had something to do with it.
> 2- Modify all the tools in use today. This is the biggest part by far. The amount of work you have to do is so much that most people will just choose to continue evolving over the current system.

One thing I learned from the explosion of JavaScript ecosystem is that this is a bit simpler than one may think - you just need to create a stable minimum base with a good selling point, and let the fans do the rest. If it gains initial momentum, the rest will get developed simultaneously by the world at large.

(A lesson from languages like Erlang or Scala would also be that having a company dedicated to marketing the living shit out of the language also helps.)
Are you sure that the problem is searching on DDG and not the pages you click on?

DDG claims not to track you; however, they have no way to prevent websites you visit from tracking you.
Leaking classified material was sacrilege in Washington... Until someone of privilege (HRC) did it... Now the the obvious hypocrisy has been exposed, we can stop pretending there were intractable operational risks created be Edward Snowden and pardon him. Before the leaks, anyone who claimed we were turning into a police state was branded a conspiracy theorist, now it's part of the public record. Had it remained in the shadows it'd be a far scarier monstrosity than we have today.
You are confusing colonialism with internationalism. They're not really related concepts.
Auto playing audio and an ad that takes up half the fold and scrolls with the page, how did you all read this?
Yes, Gladwell simplifies things. That doesn't make him wrong.

I listened to the financial aid episode on Revisionist History. Why do you think it is supremely stupid?

Money spent on facilities absolutely limits the financial aid budget at institutions. This has a real effect. The average debt of Vassar students is $8k lower than Bowdoin for a reason. [0] [1]

The annoying part there is the repeated "|x| x.". Rust should have syntax to reference a method of an object, instead of having to write a wrapper. So it'd look like .map_err(???.to_string()).
He should be in jail for the rest of his life (look at Chelsea Manning's sentence, if we are going to be consistent), but he was given a slap on the wrist: CIA directory trading secrets to his mistress? It sounds like a movie script, but now it's the public record.
If Hillary's emails got out I think we almost certainly would have found out by now.

Also, if we're talking Snowden, you could make the argument Hillary's emails were more secure since they weren't accessible to...Snowden.
There have been enough criticisms of Gladwell that I put him somewhere inbetween - perhaps closer to James Altucher of James Gleik?
I tried to find the original source of the quality-vs-quantity pottery class story a while back. I think it originates in the book "Art and Fear" but in that book it reads like a parable rather than a factual event. (And it's definitely not a study in that book.)
Most people here want Snowden to walk free

It can also mean that they don't expect Snowden would get a fair (or public) trial.
There would be no eye contact when the bull has mounted.
The key to success is having intersecting skills. It's much easier to (for example) be both a pretty good developer and a pretty good business guy than it is to be the best developer, yet the former will often make more money.

This, of course, isn't exclusive to software. The social scientist who is actually also great at mathematics will be able to make much more compelling grant requests than the average one who has muddled numbers and poor analysis.
Paul Blasucci had a good talk on Active Patterns (an F# language feature):

https://github.com/pblasucci/DeepDive_ActivePatterns

This feature allows to encapsulate conditional matching on arbitrary input and dispatching.

For those who know ML, it is making the concept of pattern matching extensible to any construct.
Snowden has admitted he did wrong -- violating policy as well as breaking the law.
So you are saying censorship is irrelevant 99% of the time, RMS is impractial to be concerned and the tecnology that is used to search is far more important that the purpose for which it is used. Ok.
I can't tell who you are referring to with your his and him.
>I would disagree with this analysis. Since the bog is so successful at preserving the remains it would be a horrible place for "gangsters" or anyone murdering someone else, to dump a body. A body which years later would still be recognizable as the victim.

Except nobody would find it unless you put it near somewhere inhabited. Surely the fact they were there for thousands of years is a testament to that.
That title and article is very misleading. A) The React license is a 3 clause BSD license. https://github.com/facebook/react/blob/master/LICENSE It has absolutely no custom restrictions in it. In addition to the license for using react, they B) grant an additional patent related license (https://github.com/facebook/react/blob/master/PATENTS) such that if you use React and React "infringes" on a Facebook patent, Facebook is additionally licensing the patent to you. In this way, not only are you licensed to use the software (React), but you are licensed to use any Facebook patents that React might infringe/use. However, if you decide to sue Facebook for patent infringement (of any kind), they are going to revoke your license to their PATENTS. This only matters if the software (React) actually infringes the PATENTS. Either way, you still technically have a license (3 clause BSD) to React...but, you could be violating a Facebook patent by using it.

It's important to keep in mind that there are two different types of Intellectual Property in view here. Software licenses and patent licenses. Theoretically, you could use some software Y under the BSD license and have some third party X sue you because Y violates a patent (even though you didn't write Y and are only using it). Facebook is being generous IMO by saying both A) you can use our software and B) if we have patents that the software benefits from we also license those to you provided C) you do not sue us for patent violations, in which case we revoke B (but not A).

So, going back to the article, the license to use React would not be revoked and it has nothing to do with competing with React. It is possible that if you sued Facebook for patent infringement AND Facebook claimed that React benefited from it's patents, that Facebook could now sue you for patent infringement b/c you use React.

But, if you sue any big company for patent infringement, they are also going to look at their portfolio of patents to see what you might be infringing and will counter-sue. So, in that case, I don't feel like Facebook is really being contrary here. They are basically saying, "As long as you don't sue us for patent infringement, we promise not to sue you for any patent infringement related to our open source software (including React). By doing this, we are hoping you will take advantage of the software we have put out there in the OSS world and alleviate any patent fears you might have. However, if you choose to sue us for patent infringement, we revoke this promise, and are going to treat you just like any other Joe Schmo."

IMO, Facebook is going out of their way to make it possible for others to benefit from their OSS software by granting not only a generous software license but a related patent license as well. For the article to misconstrue this as a license revocation if you decide to "compete" with them is pretty disingenuous.
Its usually not the age. But its common for people effected to think that they are being discriminated because of their age.

There is a tendency for a lot of people to hang on to tools and ideas that worked for them in the past. e.g someone who comes from a relational world, finds it very hard to get used to nosql unless their boss gives them no choice.

"my idea" there's the problem. You are elevating it to a higher status than it deserves. It's "an idea" not your idea. One of many you'll have if you stay open minded. Don't fixate on it, that's all. There are billions, trillions, maybe more, ideas, many of them great. Just focus on preparing yourself to execute on any idea. I'm speaking as someone who has had many ideas, and time and ability to execute very, very few of them.
Some, but definitely not all. OP undersell Sariaslan's study, as you can tell by the title of it: "Schizophrenia and subsequent neighborhood deprivation: revisiting the social drift hypothesis using population, twin and molecular genetic data" http://www.nature.com/tp/journal/v6/n5/full/tp201662a.html

The 'molecular genetic data' there refers to using schizophrenia GWAS hits to directly measure genetic schizophrenia risk and using individuals' genes to predict drift:

> Third, we investigated to what extent polygenic risk scores for schizophrenia predicted residence in deprived neighborhoods during late adulthood using the TwinGene sample (n=6796)...the association between polygenic risk for schizophrenia and neighborhood deprivation was statistically significant (R2=0.15%, P=0.002). Our findings are primarily consistent with a genetic selection interpretation where genetic liability for schizophrenia also predicts subsequent residence in socioeconomically deprived neighborhoods.

Since schizophrenia genes cause getting diagnosed with schizophrenia, and also predict living in deprived urban areas, at least some of the common causation must be people's genes.

I like Sariaslan's paper a lot, because of how overkill it is: he uses three independent methods and large datasets (one population-sized) to triangulate the same unexpected & unpopular result - it's pretty much impossible to dispute the drift hypothesis now.

As GWASes continue to identify SNPs and create powerful polygenic scores, you can expect to see more of this: parallel confirmation of long-standing behavioral genetics results.
"I make unoriginal projects with better code than the thing they rip off."

Love that line. That's what we high-assurance people keep telling developers to do to all the established stuff. You said it better, though. Might remix that in some way with your permission. :)
if you use apps. and a spread sheet to keep track of all misc. expenses then i would say too much time and effort.

my simple way is take the misc. expenses $ money right off the top when cash check. i put the cash in my pocket.
$800 every two weeks. and i use cash for all misc. stuff.
use the credit card for fixed monthly expenses and pay maintenance stuff like insur, etc elec. check.
so if run out of cash then done till next check.
and usually have left over dont usually spend full $800 i just throw it in the drawer until it piles up and then spend it on something or divert to invest. acct.
Are white in japanese martial arts, for the same reason, but white is not so present in Indonesian schools of martial arts for example. It was supposed to intimidate the oponent. But the context was lost in occident. White were also much easier to clean, so was readily adopted and a practical choice indoors. In real war is not so practical, white gets dust and turns quickly to kaki, other historical uniforms were scarlet red with the purpose of hiding the blood (and vital info about the damage done to his carrier). With fire weapons, all those bright colors turned out to make easier targets and all armies learn quickly to addopt camo.
This is just patent-suit MAD ("If you sue, or counter-sue, us for patent-y stuff, your license to use the patents underlying React is forfeit."), not "You can't use React to do Facebook-y things." There is absolutely nothing in the grant of patent rights that supports the second notion.
It's pretty much a given that any Republican candidate is going to be HITLER!!! in the eyes of the opposition. Reagan was HITLER!!!, Bush I was HITLER!!!, Bush II was HITLER!!!, heck, even a mild-mannered nebbish like Mitt Romney got the HITLER!!! treatment.

Given that, as far as I know, none of the above ever launched a global war of domination, nor murdered millions of people for belonging to a specific ethnicity, I'm pretty sure that none of those guys were Hitler.

The problem is that the opposition has cried Hitler so many times that no one (other than their fellow rabid partisans) pays the slightest bit of attention any more. Certainly I don't. Nor does Donald Trump. A nice guy like Mitt Romney gets upset when people call him a Nazi and tries to prove that he isn't one. Trump doesn't give a shit. He's the honey badger of candidates.

That's going to suck pretty bad if an actual Hitler ever comes along. I think there's some kind of old fable about that, isn't there?

Note: I do not like Donald Trump and am not planning on voting for him. I expect him to win handily, though, so we'd better hope he's not, you know, actually Hitler.
The other thing which is often implied is that once you're a master of a particular field, that financial success will necessarily follow.

How and where is this implied?

We're focused on FHSS which covers about 60% of the US (we've gotten 600k reads from about 10 different states so far). DSSS is newer and used by mostly smart meters (ZibBee for example), which have some other blockers like encryption keys.

We look for a barcode on the meter to tell if it's FHSS, if you grab our iPhone app it'll walk you through the process.
Well, that's sort of what you're paying MailChimp (and more clearly, ReturnPath) for. But I guess they don't give you your money back.
Well for one, the numbers don't work. The idea that if Bowdoin just served students the same crap food as Vassar their financial aid programs would be equalized doesn't hold water.

Also, the notion that cutting student services back to the point that many of Vassarh interviewees spoke of a laxative effect is somehow humanitarian doesn't hold water.

The idea that if Bowdoin, which has one of the more generous financial aid systems of the elite schools, has to hit a certain percentage of aid or is somehow immoral, also doesn't hold water.

They pretended to the Bowdoin interviewees -- which did not include anyone who could have rebutted -- that this was only about food, while Vassar's highest officials were interviewed about their humanitarian goals.

You can see a response from Bowdoin officials here. https://www.boston.com/news/education/2016/07/15/bowdoin-col... [FIXED LINK]

Bowdoin's financial aid approach is certainly different. For instance, they tend to give 100% of the gap for any student who qualifies, and this has been going on for some time. Vassar doesn't do it this way, but increasing financial aid somewhat for students who were only partially qualifying was touted by Gladwell as some kind of revolution.

By the way, the State school based in Portland, ME also gives surf and turf dinners...
The disconnect here is because the basic function of acoustic dissonance takes places in the hair cells of the ear. Harmonic ratios simply resonate hair cells in steady patterns rather than fast beat frequencies. (Slow beat frequencies are generally non-dissonant).

Studies like the OP's turn up every few years and are massively flawed due to oversimplification. Acoustic dissonance is waaaay more than a single-dimensional binary function... and then cultural layers are added.
I disagree with that. I think programmers don't even like to use flowcharts very often because they are too limiting. As you're perfectly aware, when you code you quickly stop thinking in terms of "this happens, then that happens, than maybe X or else Y". You're more likely to think like "I need those two things combined and spliced into that third thing in a way that depends on Z".

The way we work with text makes it easier to construct and layer abstractions. Having twenty thousand different boxes in a graphical language is not something we're used to in a way we can have twenty thousand different words in code (or in a sentence) - and if you start treating boxes as letters and grouping them, you're essentially inventing a textual language right there.

I'm not saying visual programming is a dead end - but I feel we need a much different style than just boxes with arrows. For one, text seems to exploit human ability to pattern-match much better than box diagrams; that's why we feel text is denser in information. Making diagrams more information-dense is not an area I recall to have seen explored in visual programming, but maybe we need to go there.

Anyway, best luck with the work on FMJ!
Imagining 10 Dimensions – the Movie
Revenge is an excuse to get citizens whipped up for the wars the governments already want. The problem with Europe is the concentration of powerful and aggressive nations jockeying for advantage. The world wars were just the latest examples of cyclic major wars in Europe, exacerbated by the empires many of those countries still had.

The EEC and the EU haven't kept Europe from having another two or three major wars since the fall of Nazi Germany. (Whether they could have started more world wars after the end of their empires is less clear). Outside powers imposing alliances that prevented the usual suspects from going to war with each other kept this from happening. Today, NATO keeps this from happening.
I find Hillary's actions to be worse, personally.

Hillary's actions very likely gave secret information to America's enemies. Snowden's actions gave secret information to the public.

Hillary's intentions were to circumvent FOIA rules and break the law. Snowden's intentions were to be end unconstitutional spying and uphold the law.
Xoom.com was once a site where, in exchange for free web space (kind of like Geocities), you gave the company permission to spam you. "We Know You'll Love This!" was pretty much our standard line, but we were profitable, in an age where such a thing was practically unheard of. So...

We used to have "Porn Whackers"* at Xoom who would go through user sites that had been reported/complained about/whatever and decide whether the shady stuff that people put on their free pages was

1) kiddy porn (freeze the account, send directly to the FBI)

2) legal, but simply in bad taste (do nothing)

3) copyrighted software, PDFs, that sort of thing (delete)

4) copyrighted porn (initially delete, but see below)

At some point it dawned on us that we were throwing away money by simply deleting the sites in category 4. I wrote a redirect and we cut a deal with Playboy to display ads for their website instead of a regular 404 page when a visitor landed on a nabbed-for-copyright-infringement freebie site.

Needless to say, the pornwhackers were awesome to drink with. When you stare into the abyss for 8 hours a day, you develop some excellent coping mechanisms. Either that or you found something else to do. Plus there's that magical feeling of being one of the first humans ever to see a guy's tied-up nuts being stomped on by a crazy woman in high heels. We never did figure out whether that was a nasty domestic dispute or some sort of fetish thingy.

Eventually Xoom got bought by GE, who had the bright idea (pause not) to make the spam emails "opt-in". Way to take a moneymaking idea and turn it into a turd, guys. Eventually they realized that they'd killed the goose that laid the sort-of-golden eggs and we all sought other employment.

I miss SF from back then. My apartment in the Mission was $650/month and the 21 Club was still the best dive on Earth. The Excite guys were especially hysterical, they'd show up to the colocation facility so zonked on heroin that servers which were literally on fire gave them pause in terms of how to deal with the situation. Plus the amount of pretty girls around was obscene. Combined with all the free booze, it wasn't a half bad scene. Ah well, nothing good ever lasts.

* Yes, the obvious thing occurred to us. Nobody cared.

* * There may have been a 5th category, "legal and in good taste", but out of 17 million users and 20TB of sites, I never recalled seeing one that fit this description. There's a reason we talked about categorizing Porn & Warez.
Agreed - two very different things.

HRC risked giving away the identities of clandestine agents.

Snowden proved that some of them committed war crimes, and that the NSA and CIA routinely betray our trust.

I think the problem here is that if you want to go visual, you need to go visual all the way. There should never be a case you need to manually debug a serialized representation. If your environment can't support that to an acceptable level of reliability, then you need to explicitly stick with a double-form approach, where the visual form and serialized form are "equal citizens" and both are meant for the user to work on in parallel.

Trying and failing to go with option one is what leads to the XML mess you describe.
Algorithm W, the algorithm used to do type inference in Hindley Milner is effectively just unification (the process by which Prolog infers facts, as mentioned in the post you referenced), applied to types.
What makes the difference even more stunning is that Snowden and Manning released information because they thought it was the right thing to do. Patreus did it knowing it was the wrong thing.
Liberal democracies can have political conflict, but never in history have they gone to war.
