I don't think it's in Google's interest to just indiscriminately delete someone's blog. Google rarely makes decisions on a human level and prefers not to intervene. They are getting a lot of bad press from this that the management would probably prefer to go away. I think the answer lies in this:

> We are aware of this matter, but the specific Terms of Service violations are ones we cannot discuss further due to legal considerations

I think the most likely scenario has to do with cp. IANAL, but I think in many jurisdictions cp has strict liability, meaning that if you are in possession, knowingly or not, you are criminally liable. If the author was hosting or somehow tied in to cp, the authorities would likely force Google to take it down and hand it over for investigation. The case is probably still being investigated so no action has been taken, but if Google hands over the archive, it would likely be liable for dissemination of cp.

This seems to be a lot more reasonable explanation to the secrecy than the standard "Google is evil" argument. The main thing that makes me doubt this explanation is the authors vocal outcry. If he were involved in some nefarious activity, I would imagine he would just disappear into the shadows if he suspected his acts were close to being uncovered

IMO the main ideological difference is that Photoshop UI is targeting users who like to see things visually. Gimp has a more programmatic legacy.

PS allows moving around a few sliders while looking at the screen to see how things change and nail it when the results look visually good. I bet that is critical for most PS users. It is for me. I paid for an (educational) PS license just so I can edit my photos before I print them and hang them on a wall.

One example: doing levels. One slider move back and forth to see which areas are overblown in each channel. One extra keypress to switch between final result and overblown only. That, to me, is so powerful. I can decide on the fly, "well, I lost detail in yellow channel here, but extra detail there is clearly worth it".

I am sure GIMP is great in many ways, but I guess their target user group is different. Their interface just does not work well for me (and I did try), they focus at different things, etc.

I hate Adobe (both their licensing and privacy policies), but CS is just so good. It is one of the three programs for which I still have a Windows partition on my computer (I do most of my work in Linux).

Why does it seem the media is so intent on tearing Uber down. There have been a lot of articles on HN about Uber is fucked, Uber is going down, Uber is doomed... Uber is really great. No, they don't pay their drivers enough. No, they don't do everything they can to ensure their drivers are responsible, and vetted. Yet they provide an invaluable service against a corrupt, entrenched industry that has needed a serious kick in the pants for as long as any of us have been alive. Uber has a lot of improvements to make, but I would rather have the option of choosing them over the corrupt taxi industry than not.

"70% of women think that men should only get married after buying their own housing properties" according to a 2011 survey. The survey also shows "that about 80% of the single women interviewed think that it's reasonable for men to only consider a relationship if they receive a monthly income of above 4,000 yuan" (http://www.womenofchina.cn/html/womenofchina/report/136873-1...)

Reducing that number to 0 percent and getting people to want income responsibility and property shared between man and wife in a 50/50 way would help towards making divorce outcomes equal.

These days many (probably most, though I don't have that kind of data) research universities are moving away from intro classes taught by tenured faculty. It's more common to have non-tenure track faculty teach intro classes, along with the tenured faculty that enjoy doing it. Interestingly, I've heard many complaints about tenure based on complaints about non-TT faculty.

Well you'd say that, but coinicdently the teacher I'm talking about has no published research listed on his profile page for our school, only "research interests." It doesn't look like he's done much, just that he's friends with the type of people who are in charge.

This is mirrored in the CS department where I am. One full time professor was given an offer by the school, a "retirement package." It was rumored to be in the 250k range. He is unanimously refereed to as "the weed-out professor" by everyone of my peers since he is the only teacher for one of the mandatory CS classes.

Sadly he has not taken the retirement package and has one of the highest failure rate classes in the college.

He has not been fired due to his tenure.

This is the reason why I and many other students have this distaste for tenure: because whenever we are confronted with it, it is because our lives are made infinity more difficult because of it.

In the years to come as students who have been poorly treated by tenured professors seep into administration of colleges there will be problems because of this.

I can't fix it and I don't mind at all if professors loose tenure as an option. That being said, if the research community wants to keep it they are going to need to shift public opinion of it and that will only happen by hiring professors who are good at teaching to replace the brilliant researchers in that regard.

>So I guess cheaters are roughly equal between sexes.

For it to be cheating you need to be married (or in an exclusive relationship) in the first place. If the other party is not, then they're not cheating anyone themselves.

So, if it mostly happens between married men and unmarried women, for example, cheaters don't have to be "roughly equal".

A nitpick of this comment would be that caries are an autoimmune response caused by the acids that sugars (and some other foods) induce in your saliva. When you eat sugar, your body creates acid to break it down, and the presence of the acid in your mouth after the sugar is gone results in an autoimmune-style attack on your enamel.

This is the logical conclusion if you don't understand another country and solely base your analysis on data.

All you said in regards to male/female ratio is true, and single women have lots potential mates to choose from.

Unfortunately, the mistress situation is still common, due to a variety of issues around limited supply of wealthy men, divorce laws favouring the wealthy, societal stigma against divorced people, social norm of judging men by success and women by look, etc, etc.

Not all those issues are female-centric, but combined, they make it acceptable (while still looked down upon, if advertised) for some women to be a mistress of some powerful man, and powerful men to have mistresses.
I could see how the state paying may seem preferable at first glance but as a tax payer I absolutely do not want to be paying to support people post-divorce.

A plug for one of my co-workers who recently finished his PhD on alternative route finding:

http://algo2.iti.kit.edu/documents/Dissertation_Kobitzsch_Mo...

Choice quote from page 50:

k-Shortest Path. A, at the first glance reasonable, approach to alternative routes is the k-shortest path problem [Yen71]. The basic notion behind the problem, which has been studied quite extensively (e.g. [Shi79, Epp94, Epp98, Rup97]), is that next to the shortest path itself, slightly suboptimal paths will offer good alternatives. While this idea seems valid for specific networks2, it has been described as less effective [BDGS11] in the context of alternative routes in road networks. It is rather unlikely to find a good alternative route among the first few hundred paths. Jumping off the highway at a ramp and directly returning back onto it does not take much time compared to the full journey. Doing this at every possible combination of ramps might already contribute a large number of possible paths that are only slightly worse than the original shortest path. This directly implies that we might need a very large value for k before we can report a reasonable alternative route.

> LC was a very (the most?) efficient route to factorial calculation

It is, because it is a standard model for computation. To put it in layman terms, every programming language is lambda calculus in disguise. You have absolutely no idea of computability theory. That is the theory in which the P=NP conjecture is formulated, which has massive implications e.g. on cryptography.

You seem frustrated for not understanding at all what's going on here and you try to provoke answers. I know what I'm talking about, because I don't grok LC either and I get furious quickly when I'm hungry, tired or overworked. You are paranoid.

I doubt that this will ever work in countries other than China because women (and marriage) in other countries are mostly protected by law, while in china, women are not so well protected. Also, culturally speaking, a divorced woman is very hard to get marriage in China. While a divorced man is easy. In society, People think that "divorce" somehow depreciated the value of a woman, while "divorce" means nothing (sometimes positive thing) for a man. Also, after marriage, Chinese woman will not focus mostly on work or career promotion but rather on family, so in the long term, they are
1) financially attached to the husband
2) emotionally attached to the husband.
This makes them want to "fix" the marriage rather than abandon it, even if the fix is superficial and (maybe) temporary.

But as more and more young women (born after 80s and 90s) are married, this kind of issue may be mitigating. Because young women tend to be much well-educated and wealthy

Except for a few cases where Typescript let's you transpile ES6 syntax to JavaScript ES5, the compiler does not change your code; it just checks it for type errors.

The point of the example is that Typescript recently added support for non-null types, but is flexible enough to analyze where types have been further restricted by an early function return.
I could imagine it, yes. That's the point of R&D: you hire people, ask them to make something that will change the future, they show you continual results and you forward that to your investors so they feel good. This goes the same way as for the developments of technologies such as RF transceivers. It was a magical world changing discovery made by a few private inventors. Is there something making this impossible from happening again?

There's lots of research funded by private companies.

That being said, I'd say that it is possible to do the same research without tenure. Are you saying that you'd never be allowed to research something as important as CRISPR technology had you not received tenure?

If that is the case then that's a problem; if researchers cannot research certain things then there is a larger problem in the academic world and I'd need to be convinced that tenure is the best solution for it.
Not at all. It's not like it's a 1-to-1 relationship, after all.
I meant that there exists a TM which solves HP for programs smaller than a given size. This makes it computable. Now, just because we can prove the existence of a TM, doesn't mean we can find it. It's true that for programs which use a finite amount of storage we can actually describe the algorithm for the TM, but that's not what I meant.

It's a flawed experiment, though. Literally the smallest possible sample size, extremely susceptible to the placebo effect, no controls.

I'd be interested in a large, rigorously controlled study on this, where the control group is fed convincing imitations of sweet (via artificial sweeteners) and processed (via presentation) foods. A single person's biased self-analysis isn't particularly valuable.

In this case isn't it the business - government collusion that has high sugar tariffs making corn syrup an attractive case?

That argument is like "economy" vs. "individual". When I wrote "there is no such thing as IQ" I mean (as stated?) that this is not a concrete thing, but a summary measure of many things. Of course it exists, it just doesn't represent a (single) concrete thing. The growth rate of the economy, maybe, comes to mind.

Of course averages work fine when you look at the grander things, but they are useless when looking at individuals. So sure, IQ "works" in that sense, for "big picture stats". It's not good for individuals. (Necessary additional comment: Looking at more than one individual is not "looking at an individual", but it again is "statistics".)

If you only want to place "the best" on average, going for "IQ" is enough. If you want to match each one (individually, not by global average - in which case after hiring by IQ you just place them anywhere) to the appropriate job it isn't. The distribution of skills under a given IQ score can be very different.

>I've cut out 90% of my sugar intake (no more soda)

Soda if just one of things with sugar (and diet soda has none anyway).

Most food, from McDonalds burgers to Chinese has loads of sugar.

And of course, losing weight is mostly a matter of reducing caloric intake. If you compensated for the sugar in sodas with extra food, you'll stay the same weight.
> For mass market services like this, there should be a better way.
