In England you can use the Office for National Statistics data sets. These are good quality, and they're very clear about what is or isn't counted as a death by suicide.

http://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/birthsdea...

You can also use the Public Health England "Fingertips" datasets which breaksdown the data a bit more.

Here's the main Fingertips site: http://fingertips.phe.org.uk/

And here's the Fingertips mental health stuff: http://fingertips.phe.org.uk/profile-group/mental-health

And here's the Fingertips suicide stuff: http://fingertips.phe.org.uk/profile-group/mental-health/pro...

Currently the ratio of deaths by suicide for men:women is something like 4:1 or 3:1, and we think that's because (as you've said) men tend to use more lethal methods. (Although we've seen a really worrying increase in lethality of method in women in the UK).

Go careful when comparing the UK stats with the US. I think we count different things. For example: a death that would be counted as a suicide in someone over the age of 15 is not counted as a suicide in someone under the age of 15. I don't think the US does that.

Until almost the entire Internet has IPv6 at the endpoint, you're making your stuff unreachable to most people. You will still need an IPv4 gateway.

If you are capable of safely editing embryos now, after barely 4 years of CRISPR development, then in 60 years when the risk of Alzheimers starts increasing, whole-body editing will be even more feasible than it is now. This also applies to worries about making the wrong edit and 'dooming future generations'. Finally, the general theme of GWAS studies examining genetic correlations & pleiotropy is that, just like with phenotypes where heart disease problems will increase your risk of many other problems, bad things go together and good things go together; there's very few traits where increasing one good thing would increase a bad thing. Apparently a bad genetic variant can cause a number of downstream problems, so if you reduce an embryo's heart disease susceptibility, you are also helping them out on other problems as well, so if anything, one is considerably underestimating the benefit of the heart disease edit.

Back to the future – mankind’s new ideas that aren’t new at all
How do they define "uninsured."

My girlfriend isn't on my policy because she never drives my truck. Likewise the vast majority of the time I drive her car it's something along the lines of repositioning vehicles in the driveway. If I were to get in an accident in her car chances are there'd be a bunch of fighting with insurance but our insurance (same company, different policies) would probably wind up paying. Would I count as an uninsured motorist in that hypothetical situation? III has a very obvious incentive to portray insurance as something worth having as opposed to a waste of money (which it will be for most people who don't get into a situation involving medical or large amounts of property damage). I think they'd consider me uninsured in that situation.

Reporting rates also have an effect. There's a much higher reporting rate for small accidents with a single uninsured party than for similar accidents in which both parties are insured. If one party is insured it's in that parties interest to maximize documentation unless it's undeniably their fault. If both parties are insured then it's much murkier, damage amount, deductibles, who's at fault, etc, etc. come into play and if the dollar amount is relatively low it's often more faster and cheaper for them to settle the matter without insurance company involvement. Basically, if someone without insurance gets in a parking lot accident the vast majority of people will report it whereas that's not necessarily the case when both parties are insured.
You're not wrong. But some people don't like to stare at a computer and program for 8 hours a day and then go home and keep doing it. They may have other responsibilities or other hobbies, or just a highly active social life.

There was a time when I was younger where I spent a lot of time outside of work programming, but I also didn't have any other hobbies (well, playing video games doesn't really count), no responsibilities, and almost no social life. Now that I'm older and have all three, programming at home is a luxury I often choose not to do. But that doesn't make me a bad programmer.
Certainly a peculiar regional difference, they are ubiquitous in the States. I might not have one in my house, but I grew up around them, they are usually clipped into a clipboard.
> In the US, in cases of libel or slander, the truth shall be sufficient defense.

Technically, truth isn't a defense, falsity is an element of the prima facie case for defamation in the US (this may seem pedantic, but its important as regards where the initial burden of proof lies.)
i think the author misses the data point of actuall doing it, is not easy. He keeps repeating, everyone has the ability to kill themselves, but is this true? I think most people, even if pain is at 100% and desire to do it is at 100% the knife/gun/etc just won't go. So re-think the whole thing from the point that VERY FEW humans have the ability to do it.
Nearly all the "second tier" clouds support IPv6: Digital Ocean, Vultr, Linode, SoftLayer, etc.

AWS's services are great but many people just need compute. I don't understand why people who just need compute use AWS, since for compute only Digital Ocean and Vultr destroy it in virtually every way: ease of use, performance, cost, IPv6, etc.

Digital Ocean now has block storage too, which plugs one hole. Of course they don't have things like RedShift or S3, but like I said not everyone needs that.

But the point is that it totally depends on the person and it's not this hard and fast rule.

It's also vague to the point of meaninglessness considering all the various kinds of technologies and depths within those technologies one might be toying with in their spare time.

I would argue that the general intuition that many programmers have about people who code in their spare time is simply a too-narrow view of the picture. It's more about people who are really good at LEARNING, and people who code in their spare time tend to become very good at self-teaching new things and figuring out how different systems work and interact.

A developer can be good at learning as long as he or she is practicing learning something in their spare time, but I don't think it has to be a side project (or even technology-related at all) to see a benefit in professional productivity.

You could probably get a similar effect by softening the background color from a harsh #FFF. You might not need to use as light of gray text color then.
I don't think that's very plausible at all. You really think a career politician who knows that both countries routinely probe and hack each other is going to go to war over this? Anything she says will be to affect Russia's international standing and embarrass them for getting caught, and possibly to maneuver for a better deal somewhere else.

That the US would go to war over the hacking of a non-governmental institution is ridiculous, and whoever is spouting stuff like that should immediately lose quite a bit of credibility with whoever is listening. Only congress can officially start a war, and if the president started getting aggressive with a country such as powerful as Russa over something so small, well, there would be some interesting ramifications to presidential power. Remember, congress has the ability to amend the constitution.
We've been using it with a ~10 nodes cluster for some time to host both internal and production apps.

It has allowed the rest of the team to focus on the apps themselves without worrying about how to deploy them, how to provision more capacity, how to rollback in case of failure, etc.

Using the builtin affinity and priority system, we were able to make sure that production apps would always run smoothly without being affected by our other processes.
>most of what I see in the gym are meatheads using way more weight than they should be.

What does that mean? If your goal is to get stronger you have to lift as much weight as possible. Obviously you don't want to hurt yourself, but the emphasis on perfect form over heavy weights is "broscience" if your goal is strength.

>I'm just skeptical that someone unable to create stable positions with a fixed object (barbell) will have more success creating proper stable positions off of objects that move freely.

It's not just what the eyes see. It's susceptibility to diseases, it's how it responds to environmental situations over short and long term. It's whether various medical treatments work and do not, it's personality, organization, temperament, child bearing. You may feel unconfortable with group differences being labeled 'race.' That's your problem, no reality's problem. And just because heritage can be about a thousand other markers, doesn't mean that there's not advantage to general highly useful but maybe less than absolutely perfect information such as forensically one can tell the race of an individual based on their remains.

"We show that HTTPS cannot provide security when WPAD is enabled."

That's effectively a lie. The HTTPS connection itself is definitely still secure. The only difference is the browser is telling an attacker what URL it wants to go to. You can also watch what virtual hosts someone is visiting by sniffing DNS requests, statistical packet analysis can show exactly what you're looking at, and there are plenty of attacks on browsers and the client OS to get more data that don't require wpad.

If you want to browse securely, you have to tunnel everything. You should not assume a browser will ever be able to hide all possible traceable data about your connection & request.

> Not exactly, because someone who explores other technologies unrelated to his/her "work" field will inevitably pick up experience and knowledge - which the employer can grab for free without sending the employee to expensive courses or having to hire highly specialized freelancers.

I don't think there is any debate that, in general, someone who tinkers, explores, and codes outside of work will be relatively better than someone who doesn't. That is not the same as saying the former is above some absolute line while the latter is below it. This is the characterization that people here, including me, take issue with. You can easily be competent and effective while not spending time outside of work writing code.

Win32 isn't going anywhere, anytime soon, and Microsoft isn't likely to sabotage Win32 just to kick people off Steam. Outside of games, there are millions and millions of Win32 apps in the wild and Enterprise customers that rely on them.

Microsoft has already addressed some of these concerns (modern apps can be sideloaded by default since last November; Steam already has the power to sell modern apps) and is working to further increase the openness in the modern platform (better mod tooling support, for instance). It does seem like Microsoft is working hard to balance openness of the platform and security/reliability.

I suppose it doesn't hurt to keep reminding Microsoft that we all love for the platform to trend towards openness (and I know a lot of the people at Microsoft want that too, because many of them started out doing interesting things with that openness themselves). It just doesn't seem likely that Microsoft is that bent upon "killing Steam" to go to the lengths and efforts Mr. Sweeney suggests here. They've got plenty of other reasons why people use PCs and Windows beyond gaming.

I read the article correctly. They don't call it homework in the article and instead decide to use the term "data challenge". You can call it whatever you want it is the same thing. It is also split in to four parts and takes place over several days. How did I interpret this incorrectly?

I'm specifically talking about other technical fields that are highly mathematical and that have a lot in common with Computer Science.The fields that I specifically mentioned were Statistics, Economics, Actuarial Science and Operations Research. I mentioned all of the fields that I'm talking about in the original post and in sever of my replies. You are harping on something trying to correct a point that I'm not even trying to make and your response actually helps to further prove my point. You could be correct about the Chemistry thing. I didn't study Chemistry and I don't want to be a Chemist and I didn't mention the subject anywhere in my OP, so I don't really care about the interview process for hiring a Chemist.

For example, with Economics (one of the fields that I actually mentioned), presenting your "Job Paper" is actually part of the interview process. You make your presentation and everybody that has arranged an interview with you can come by and hear your talk. They can read your paper before hand so they have time to think questions well ahead of time. The American Economics Association provides one platform for all interested parties to come together and hash things out instead of me having to try and go to 10 separate interviews.

With Actuaries (another field that I actually mentioned) there is no need for you to quiz me to see if I actually know how a Poisson Process o GLMs work because that is taken care of by the exam process. If somebody passed the Statistical Models exam then you know that they at least meet the industry agreed upon minimum competency level for knowledge of specific Statistical Models.
Yes, the whole point is to avoid building your own queue where a ready-made, purpose-made solution already exists.
The current pipeline for such a request would be the GPU sending a request for more data, the CPU receiving it, the kernel figuring out who should handle the request, the handler then making a request to the kernel for the data on the SSDs, the SSDs sending the data back to main memory, the kernel telling the handler where the memory is, then the handler telling the kernel to send the memory to the video card.

In contrast, the route with the on-board SSDs is that the GPU makes the request, the ASIC that handles NVMe requesting from the memory chips, the memory chips sending to the ASIC, which goes into memory. There are a lot fewer steps there, and a lot fewer places where delayed interrupts, etc can introduce lag.
