This is cool, thanks for this. I've largely stopped using olive oil (safflower for cooking, walnut for salads) entirely because finding something that doesn't taste off is difficult without spending a lot or going well out of my way, but my local place has this and I think I'll give it a shot.
Interestingly, some of the first interdisciplinary collaborations on Overleaf[1] were between computational biologists (who tended to write up their papers in LaTeX) working with non-computational biologists (who tended to use Word), helped partly by the Rich Text mode we built[2] which hides (most of) the LaTeX code for those who prefer to edit in a more WYSIWYG-style environment.

We continue to see strong use in this area today, and indeed there seems to be a growing trend for interdisciplinary collaborations (I'm one of the founders, and we started it very much as a side project between mathematicians needing to collaborate in LaTeX!).

It's also great to see that some of the newest innovations in publishing platforms are in the (computational) life sciences area too, e.g. F1000Research[3] (which offers open, post-publication peer review) and PeerJ[4] (which has a membership model but no fee to publish).

Very happy to see a Scott Joplin article posted here. Joplin aspired to be taken seriously as a classical composer. Although some of his rags were popular when they were published, recognition as a serious composer never came during his lifetime.

His piano pieces are lively and melodious, but also sometimes melancholic (like Solace and Bethena Waltz) perhaps reflecting the troubled life he led. As the article states, Joplin did not want his rags to be played at fast speeds. This is often the case in many recordings (including, in my opinion, with Joshua Rifkin). My favourite performer of Joplin's music is the late Canadian musician John Arpin.

I listen mostly to classical music and love Joplin's piano music, but even today, there's still some snobbishness about Joplin's music from some quarters in the classical field. There's a little bit of it here in this discussion of Joplin from BBC Radio 3:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p01w64mq

But wherever you start with Joplin's music, the sound of a rag is irresistible.

That certainly became true. I'm not sure it was especially true in the timeframe that we're talking about here. By the mid-eighties we were heading toward more standardized SMP designs but there were still a lot of exotic architectures out there--and it would be close to another decade before volume processors really became the norm in midrange to high-end servers.
A solar sail can add or subtract around ~60km/second which seems fast, but this is looking at 13411km/sec so not really that useful.
> Disposable razor blades are not a significant cost in most people's lives

That's not the point. The point is that the industry survives by keeping the consumers ignorant.

> and most of those same people see a big advantage in convenience.

I wonder how "these same people" decided that there is "a big advantage in convenience" if they have no point of comparison.

Because looking at the friends I have almost nobody people under forty has ever even tried something other than an expensive disposable blade, or perhaps a fancy electric razor. The only people I know who are the exception to it are hipsters who have since switched to growing big bushy beards. Which brings me to my other point:

> very few people have to be sold on buying a disposable razor.

Yeah, because they don't even know there are alternatives. I don't know about your supermarkets, but the ones I've been to don't even sell safety razors any more. A Mach 2 is cheapest thing for sale, and that's what I started out with. I had to buy my double edge at a barber, and I buy razor blades through the internet.

Regardless, compare the cost of one double-edge razor blade to the cost of one of those fancy N-blade thingies with aloe vera gel strips and whatnot. The price goes from the order of cents to the order of dollars (or euros, in my case).

I have a really hard time believing that the actual cost of making these things is 100 times more expensive too; in fact the shaving industry has been accused of mark-ups around 4,000 percent[0]. Either way, the convenience definitely is definitely not 100 times higher.

You don't need to freeze it. I live in Greece where we buy olive oil in big 17 liter tins and store it for yearly consumption. If you keep it tightly sealed in a dark place it could last at least for a year.
Sorry, but there just isn't "very dark side" to a plant.

It sounds to me like some of your friends have been using a substance to fill a void in their lives or avoid facing some issues, this is really terrible and I understand.

Truth is, there are just so many ways people can use and abuse things and it's wrong to blame anything in particular. If people sniff glue to mask a problem, you wouldn't say glue has a dark side. Yes glue is can be toxic and extremely harmful, but it doesn't have any intentions or predispositions.

Don't get me wrong, I've had similar views in the past, it's just where I'm at now from my own life experience.

I agree that, being stoned every minute of the day is not a good idea, maybe you're trying to say cannabis is more toxic than people think?
Exactly, Cartoon Network is about cartoons, but cartoons != children television. Networks like Sprout, Disney Jr., PBS (schedule dependent), etc show much more typical children's television.
If I remember rightly, it's set as a maximum for the purpose of allowing cracking. I imagine it would take ages if they were using AES, but I think they are using something more arbitrary than that. I'll try to find out.

It seems you're interested, I'll see if I can contact them and find out more. I know they mostly adhere to the Ford specs, so it might be worth a hunt through them. I honestly can't seem to find any of the security spec we were given online.

Even so, it's worth pointing out that the car companies have the private keys for flashing the vehicles themselves, all stored nicely in a massive database. The dealerships simply plug in a code to a computer and returned is a key to unlock. I know that they bend over backwards to any requests from Government agencies.

Also, the only difference in the software is usually just a language setting, something that's a few bits in the config file. Other than that, they are identical. So a hack for one Country is a hack for all - across multiple models and multiple years.
I would argue that if you the physics behind the problem, then even semi-empirical models easily beat machine learning. I have seen this consistently on my data-sets.

Seems like it should be combined with hints from calculating optimal flow on previous frames.
It is impossible to forget the many times the US was on the other end of this kind of political game. It's a dirty game that leaves permanent damage and it's rather unfortunate, but hardly unpredictable. The fact the Democratic Party is being targeted by a foreign power tells a lot about which side the external actors prefer.

Kirkland's olive oil brand is not only one of the few imported brands that consistently passes tests as authentic 100% virgin olive oil but is also one of the most affordable
>Several commercial developers now produce plugins for Linux, and there are some open source ones for many tasks that are actually outstanding.

I've demoed a large number of open source or Linux-compatible plugins; with the exception of Pure Data and the Calf Studio plugins, they were uniformly awful. Pure Data is still substantially inferior to Reaktor. Last time I checked, the Calf Studio plugins weren't cross-platform and had considerable shortcomings compared to their proprietary equivalents.

A huge proportion of my bread-and-butter plugins have no Linux equivalent that is even remotely comparable: Kontakt, Vienna Symphonic Library, Omnisphere, Melodyne, Izotope Rx and Ozone, Bias FX, the UAD and Arturia emulations etc.

Producing music on Linux would be an exercise in frustration. The plugins available on Linux compare very badly to the bundled plugins that come with Logic or Cubase, let alone the whole market.

The very best open source plugins are mediocre at best. In many absolutely crucial categories, they are laughably bad - compare Freeverb3 with Vienna MIR or Altiverb, for example.
I think this is a great example. Walk on red -- just be aware of your surroundings and responsible for the outcome when you do.

Part of me feels this is less objectionable than other fraud.

If customers pay a premium for olive oil, even though they don't know enough to tell the difference, I feel like the joke's on them. This is hard to justify, maybe I'm just a bad person.

As a corollary, if someone told me I had been duped in some similar way (eg. my bourbon is not actually from Kentucky) I'd question/blame my own judgement. Why do I pay for something when I can't even tell there's a difference?

Allergies are a separate matter, and I bet relevant labeling laws apply equally much, whatever you call the oil.
I buy extra virgin olive oil in Greece. No need for freezing or anything. Just keep it sealed in the dark. But I get it that people all over the world have to buy olive oil from supermarkets, so maybe then it's different story. :shrug:
The interesting part of that report is imported extra virgin olive oil is vastly more likely to be merely virgin due to refined or oxidized olive oil present, compared to California olive oils.

But then this research is also financed by the California Olive Oil Council, and also by the company of the best testing brand. So there's a possible conflict there, or it may be that they know they have better certification and monitoring therefore a better/more consistent product, than the name/top selling brands primarily sourcing from imported olive oil, and they're investing in research to quantify this.
What if, what if, they were actually worse off with out marijuana?
That might not be the case if it weren't for all the fakes dragging prices down.
You'd be surprised.

Narcotics are remarkably fungible, much to the disappointment of drug enforcement agencies and social workers.

I spend a few hours a week at a transitional house for folks who've been down on their luck (homeless or no fixed address) and are trying to get into the support system. Most are dealing with addiction.

When you ask what they're taking, they often have a long equation of how much they take of X when they can't get Y, and how much of Z takes the edge off Y when their dealer is unavailable or they can't afford it, etc. Many have managed to get into a long cycle of a number of different substances, each being a transitional drug off the last. Since this is a behavior pattern they're used to, we're getting a lot of mileage using (now legal) marijuana as a bridge to sobriety whey they're not willing to submit to detox.

I'm 100% confident that if heroin doubled in price tomorrow usage would drop through the floor, but unfortunately addiction would be pretty stable.
It's important to look at this in context of history. A lot of what came about today started under the Strategic Computing Initiative (link below). It was a massive investment over a period of time that threw money at every smart person or neat idea you could think of hoping for scientific equivalent of moonshots. We got a bunch of them, too, so it worked imho. Thinking Machines explored the novel concept of massively parallel CPU's with languages & work distribution modified for them. Supercomputers of time had fewer, less-radical cores. Projects like Thinking Machines led to Massively-Parallel Processing architectures that combined hundreds to thousands of more-typical CPU's, custom interconnects, and special tools for programming. My favorite of those were Distributed, Shared-Memory (DSM) machines. Later, Beowulf clusters were invested to use commodity CPU's, boards, and networking to bring cost down. High-performance interconnects improved and got cheaper simultaneously. These trends led to commodity clusters from startups and semi-custom clusters from IBM (esp SP2), Cray, SGI, etc.

The reason for doing something so different & risky like Thinking Machines Corp is to try to create those ripple effects. Well, build and dominate a market is number 1 but government funders trying to get ahead wanted ripples as a backup. They got it, too. Also, the machine could pull off amazing stuff [1] with its architecture. Similar one's using 8-bitters piled into a chip were used for neural networks. One could probably re-created benefits of Thinking Machines same way for the problems that suited it.

Note: The book is well-worth skimming through given how it documents how modern computing practices formed. I had never heard of SCI. I thought the stuff was unrelated but turns out it was all connected. Documents lots of attempts, justifications, policy effects, etc. Gold mine.
That presumes a constant velocity. Any extra-solar ship would certainly need a different acceleration profile. Ion engines come to mind: low acceleration, but constant for a very long time. If you're going a far distance, they're ideal.

Moore's Law itself was the result of HW engineers, fabs, chemists, and so on doing the same thing. You'd see professionals in the field thinking a certain thing was impossible with existing tech. The textbooks would even describe certain limits or practices. The person and text would be proven wrong within about a year, with new texts written, thanks to sheer volume of PhD's, cutting-edge equipment, and money thrown at the problem. It's truly an exceptional situation.

"You seem very authorative in this thread, yet have nothing to support your claims." - Unfortunately, I can't back my credentials because of the stuff I've work/ed on. I can say it was a US company involved in automotive parts.

"Stands up to 15 minutes of what? Smashing the side window with a crowbar? Angle grinders through the driver side door?" - Exactly the point I was making. They just hire a random number of hackers (not random obviously, but probably not much research into what is truly sufficient either) and leave them alone with the system for a few days to see if they can do anything to it. If nothing happens they get a pass. It was literally a case of getting a tick in the right box.

Yes. Obama said it in public, after all.

In the US the n-word is part of common speech, especially for young blacks. If you refused to hire anyone who said it in public, that would be a form of racist discrimination against black people.

This all relates to the racial double standard over permissible speech, of course.

> Free speech doesn't mean "speech without consequence".

In that case it isn't really free speech, any more than you've got free speech if I'm holding a gun to your head and threatening to shoot you if you say something I disagree with.
In a sense, it doesn't matter. So long as folks are liking the taste of what they are buying (or lack of strong taste, depending), it doesn't matter if it is real olive oil or not.

On the other hand, I find it detestable that they are getting swindled. I'd much rather the person know they are buying an oil mix and be able to choose between mixes, and know that accounts for the flavor of their premium oil. I know folks are going to buy "premium" products that really aren't anyway, but the contents should at least be honest.

In addition, if this practice carries over to other products, it could cause issues with food allergies and intolerances.
Whoa there! I don't think the poster to which you responded said that marijuana should be criminalized, only that the risks are downplayed significantly by supporters of legalization.

As a user myself, I tend to agree. It can be very easy to go overboard if you aren't careful. For many people, weed can completely sap motivation if abused. The exact risks are really unknown though, since research into marijuana has been stifled for decades.

(Be ware of about 2 minutes 30 seconds of sarcasm in the last one!)

Otherwise, browse through the rest of his videos, skipping the challenge locks unless it's something that fascinates you: https://www.youtube.com/user/bosnianbill/videos

Essentially, cheap locks can be bypassed very easily (almost anything by Masterlock). More expensive locks ($60+) will have more pins, making them harder to pick, and often have replaceable cores. Of course, security isn't just about the lock, which is addressed in the first video.

Civilians celebrating freedom from ISIS by cutting beards and burning burqas
It almost certainly is the most habitable planet for life as we know it today because we and our environment co-evolved to match the conditions. Just because 2/3 of the planet (not sure how you arrived at the number / what parts are in the denominator) doesn't meant it is meaningless to what allows us to live here (e.g., oxygen and food supply from the oceans).

OTOH I disagree with the notion that we have to have a full grasp on how to sustain us on this planet before we can make other planets inhabitable for us. I think there are things we will only learn if we try. I am not saying that trying right now is feasible, though.
