Wolverine's are awesome and I have no doubt they could be be trained for this.

However I'm not sure it makes any sort of economic sense due to the difficulties in breeding and keeping wolverines and the need for avalanche rescues to happen extremely quickly.

Statistics show that avalanche rescue needs to happen in less then 10-15 minutes for a victim to have a good chance of survival. Backcountry skiers wear radio transceivers so their partners can respond instantly for this reason.

Big ski areas will have a few trained dogs who hang out in ski patrol shacks at the top of runs so they can be deployed quickly in the event of a rare inbounds slide that traps people not wearing beacons.

Any backcountry skier who takes risk and safety seriously will tell you that dogs, and even beacons are really just for body recovery though and avoidance is key.
A lawyer with background enough to know that parody and libel are not opposites. I mostly deal with security and IP issues, but I do teach slander/libel in some of my classes. SouthPark's reliance on parody and the assertion of fiction aren't absolute defences, especially since much of their comedy isn't meant as parody nor fiction (See the episodes on Scientology and Mormonism which while parodic also rely on other defences.)
Take home pay for physicians represents about 10% of healthcare spending (http://economix.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/11/14/do-doctors-sala...). On top of the cost of 4 years of college, you've got 4 years of medical school (average med student debt is $167k - http://www.cbsnews.com/news/1-million-mistake-becoming-a-doc...). On top of that, you've got 3-7 years of residency where residents barely make $50k/year while working ~80 hours/week (this is a reduction from ~120 hours/week after regulations were passed). Becoming a doctor is expensive, requires massive sacrifices in time, and doctors don't earn their full salaries until almost a decade after most people start their careers. It doesn't seem like physician salaries are a clear cut problem.

Probably the vast majority of startups have a dominant cofounder. You might call them cofounders-in-name-only, but that still validates the notion that you're better off finding a cofounder (even if they're not as central).

Python with a good DAG library, e.g. https://github.com/manahl/mdf (but there are plenty of others kicking around).

What this lets you do is in Python build networks of computations then change one value and it will cascade through the rest of your model, exactly like you do in Excel, but in actual code that can easily be versioned, reused, etc.
It would be hard to convince me too that my secondhand smoke is reducing your life expectancy having seen this study:

http://jnci.oxfordjournals.org/content/early/2013/12/05/jnci...
Disagree. I've literally run a startup where I took an opportunity I saw, pitched it to a cofounder, got a single client, cofounder did all the work. After year, cofounder was tried of doing work, so I told them how to turn the service into a product and rapidly got five clients; after that, the cofounder didn't have to do anymore work either.

I'm not lazy, happy to do hard work, but if I see an exploitable situation I will not create work just to feel good about things.

Do exactly what needs to be done, nothing less, nothing more.

FreeBSD is amazing, but it suffers from one big problem: the number of people using it is so small that many things that are easy to accomplish on Linux and other operating systems prove incredibly inconvenient or impossible on FreeBSD because no one has bothered to do them before.

This is best explained with an example. Say you want to install TensorFlow with CUDA 7.5 and cuDNN v4 support, which is necessary for training large neural nets.

Here's how you do it on, say, Ubuntu:

sudo pip3 install --upgrade [Official TensorFlow URL]

And here's a blog post with a long list of instructions, explanations, and caveats for doing the same thing on FreeBSD:

https://ecc-comp.blogspot.com/2016/06/tensorflow-on-freebsd.html

Except that on FreeBSD apparently no one has posted instructions for getting CUDA or cuDNN to work with TensorFlow, so you're in for a world of "fun" trying to figure out how to do that on your own.
Interesting project. I wonder if you might be willing to outline a few use cases?
University of Chicago Strikes Back Against Campus Political Correctness
Sometimes I run end user-ish stuff under /usr/ports/sysutils/py-supervisor and sometimes under the rc system.

The features of supervisord are very nice, the simple config, the password protected web interface for semi-sysadmin users to access and restart their memory leaking Java processes. Basically what you list as killer features.

On the other hand its not ready for prime time as a /bin/init replacement, I don't NEED the features they're just nice, and the only thing more annoying than having to learn all the peculiarities and bugs and workarounds and syntax of one init system, is having to learn two init systems.

I can imagine a world where freebsd base uses rc and "Everything in ports and pkg-ng uses supervisord". I'm not sure if I like it or dislike it, but it is at least imaginable.

In my infinite spare time I was writing a compiler that translates supervisord.conf files into shell RC files. Most of the time its pretty simple.
I would be interested to see how the output of drug companies change after they are nationalised. Like would they focus on simple solutions that solve problems (rather than expensive solutions that hide problems)? And would they struggle at being yet another public service with a huge budget to be cut. Will their best staff move abroad for better salaries? Stuff like that.
Yes because the EU bureaucratic organization is deeply undemocratic. I won't go over that again here but we have seen its dictatorial behaviour in action: to quote Dan Hannan

"Elected prime ministers of Italy and Greece were toppled in Brussels-backed coups. Eurocrats were brought in to head what were, in effect, civilian juntas, whose purpose was to pursue a series of economic policies that would have been rejected at the ballot box. Or consider the EU’s response whenever a referendum goes against closer integration, as in Denmark, France, Ireland or the Netherlands. Public opinion is treated as an obstacle to overcome, not a reason to change direction."
*Excel mutations
It's unfortunate. However, it's been shown over and over to have the best conversion rate for getting people's emails, so it's a trend that's only going to become more popular from here (until the next high conversion pattern is developed).
It feels like the "maturing process" has waned over the decades. It feels like people in the past were older, at younger age. This can't be due to the educational system - we have access to more quality information than ever before, and more prolific insights into the complicated troubles of our world. How much of this is due to the increased work ethic in this country where parents serve less and less as role models and mentors for their children, because of time away and dedication to work or company? Can a truly enlightened parent -one who has already discovered the Who they intend to be- ever be absent from their child's maturation process? Probably not, which leads me to think that all this increased work, all this national goal setting, has happened without any Who-finding. Young entrepreneurs - find your own Who, and your personal Product Market Fit will follow.
May be there is something to do with multiple sovereigns and diverse economies, that form the Centrifugal forces on EU. It is too simplistic to blame Euroskeptics. The bigger question is how did Greece even made it into the Common currency, when the writing was on the wall.
There's two classes of employees in US labor law, exempt and non-exempt. It's called exempt/non-exempt because a class of employees is exempt from the Fair Labor Standards Act which defines rules for overtime.

To be exempt you have to be paid on a salary basis, you have to make over a certain wage (which, until a few months ago, was a comically low $23,600/yr), and have certain job duties.

These job duties that are required are defined in the FLSA. There's executive employees, administrative employees, professional employees, computer employees, and outside sales employees. The text is here: http://www.ecfr.gov/cgi-bin/text-idx?tpl=/ecfrbrowse/Title29...

In general, most salaried employees do not regularly work unpaid overtime in the US. For example, the one time I ever worked overtime in my software engineering career it was paid overtime (paid at my normal salary). I had a friend who was an (I think?) accountant and she had to work on her vacation otherwise she'd fall behind. Some workplaces are abusive and the law allows it for some classes of employees but it's not the norm outside of the bay area software industry.

I never wrote that end users should be presented with change logs; of course, you give them release notes.

Release notes are not logs. They omit changes, and present selected changes in a different order. As soon as you have two sets of release notes for two releases in one file, then it's becoming a log: a log which captures sequences of release notes. I agree of keeping such a thing rather than giving end users just the notes for the current release.

In any case, developers should not be required to deposit any blurbs into any file as they are committing, regardless of its purpose and style.

Do go ahead and produce release notes, and then keep them in the repository. Do not mix code changes with changes to the release notes file.
You should talk to your bank: Mine offers a savings account that just beats inflation if I don't take a withdrawal that I can use for an emergency fund, and once you have an emergency fund set up you can put further savings into fixed-term accounts which actually generate "meaningful interest".

The old joke goes: "If the EU tried to join the EU it would be refused for being too undemocratic"
One of the best use cases is lazy loading expensive data until the div is visible. Image loading, or even fetching a resource. You essentially get this for free in native apps (iOS/Android with recycled views) but there hasn't been a great way to accomplish this on the web.

Note: this is definitely not the same as a recycled view. But can help accomplish one aspect
For example store img src tag in data-src and then set src when image comes into view. So to say lazy loading of images.
To write good programs that provide any useful functionality often a solid understanding of architecture and Mathematics is required. These skills are better understood in my opinion without focusing on software development as the end goal. A child is likely to be self motivated to write software if they have these skills and, most importantly, a desire to do so.

The EU is 'undemocratic' - as opposed to Britain's unelected Prime Minister, Queen and House of Lords, of course.

A more serious response is that democracy can only be justified by its outcomes, and isn't a good thing in itself. A racist democracy that votes to harm minorities is worse than a dictatorship that upholds human rights and prevents the majority harming the rest. With the rise of explicitly anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim parties in Europe, this is not a theoretical consideration.
Mortgage backed securities. I could go on, but as ever lower ROI becomes competitive money gets sloshed around the financial system, creating economic distortions such as housing booms backed by investors. Most clearly building a house that's sitting vacant is a waste of resources and caused by similar forces as the infamous Pets.com etc etc.

The single unique thing about California, and therefore SF/Silicon Valley/the Bay area is that by long standing public policy, non-competes are unenforceable for employees like you, making it a very liquid market for talent.

This Wikipedia item is on the front page right now: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12372315 i.e. the "traitorous eight" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traitorous_eight ); we wouldn't even be here discussing all this if Shockley had been able to keep his dissatisfied employees from working in the brand new field of semiconductors when they could no longer stand working for him, ditto when they left Fairchild Semiconductor to e.g. start Intel, which besides the microprocessors was the first company to commercially sell DRAMs.

On the other hand, Texas Instruments managed to be a leader in all of the early stages of all this while based in Texas, even created the standard TTL logic family used by just about everyone to make computers until microprocessors became capable enough. And in several stages Motorola was competitive without as far as I know having a significant Silicon Valley base.
The other reason to not use Excel for stats? It's virtually impossible to reproduce your work unless you documented every step in some other format. Excel is easily one of the worst tools you can use if you ever need to refer back to/redo your original work at any point in the future or if you need to be able to validate your result with any confidence. Yea I know there are some people who are freaking magicians with VBA who can "fix" many of the problems listed, but that doesn't absolve excel of its statistical sins.
Antibiotics do provide a good case for increased public research. I suspect medicine will always have parts that are done better publicly and others better in private hands.

For example, a tour guide in one poor country I visited mentioned that he knew guides that were trained doctors. Because good tour guides there make more money than doctors. Coincidentally, they also have a shortage of doctors. Kind of like America having a shortage of teachers when governments set the salary.
Not necessarily. Google just announced that, in the name of accessibility, they will start penalizing sites that use them.

> We can all clearly see the trend of moral progress and we should all be able to extrapolate from it. Progressivism wins and reactionism loses

Many people do not agree with that and not just reactionaries. A majority of philosophers (natural + unnatural) and religions in history would have explained their world by cycles. There are a great many events, many disturbing to the happy-go-lucky narrative that the Progressivism Forever hypothesis fails to explain.

I take the point that Cthulhu swims slowly leftwards but without understanding why it is that he does so it is dangerous to extrapolate for the next 300 years.
Neither do I understand the word "admits" in the title. AFAIK he's been consistent in his message about the Euro over the years and has nothing to "admit". At least I remember reading him saying pretty much the same thing at previous (non-recent) occasions. For example, here he is in July 2014: "Stiglitz: How to save a broken euro" (https://www.euractiv.com/section/euro-finance/opinion/stigli...), or here is an opinion piece from him in the Guardian from May 2010 "Reform the euro or bin it" (https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2010/may/05/reform...)

It's hard to see this happening since dissatisfied software developers can often fix the problem by finding another job. (Maybe not everyone can do it but that's the perception.)

You'd need a common sense of injustice. It's a lot easier to do this for, say, graduate students who really are underpaid.
The 75% pay / 100% benefits thing is likely the factor that prevents many companies from doing this. This is part of the reason I love the idea of a single-payer health system. If companies were no longer on the hook for the most expensive benefit, then more flexible wrking arrangements with concordance between work and pay would be possible.

Just getting started on paddock: Up and Running development environment built with `parse-server` and `docker`.

Arch is all about user control. They have a fantastic package manager, the AUR (a user-supplied source build repo) the ABS (an official source build repo, akin to ports), and you can install yaourt (which can automate installation and updates from the AUR).

But by far Arch's best asset is the Wiki. The Arch Wiki is a godsend: a large repository of documentation on just about everything you'd want to do, complete with instructions for the most common cases. Want to do a basic install? Go look. Want to configure pulseaudio (why you would, I don't know)? It's right there. Want to encrypt your disk? pick your poison, and get to it. X? Check. 3d cards? AMD or Nvidia, proprietary or open, if there's hangups, we'll tell you how to fix it. Games? From steam to just about anything else, there's documentation for getting then running.

There's a reason many arch users will tell you to RTFM if you have a question. But if you've done that already, the forums are quite helpful.

The only snag is that systemd is installed by default. However, like everything, the wiki has docs on how to switcg to another system, like sysvinit or openrc. Even more luckily, some very kind Arch users have gone above and beyond that, and created a repo with most of the openrc initscripts, and forks of necessary packages that are without systemd. These instructions are better, and can be found at http://systemd-free.org, under 'installation' and 'configuration'.

I suspect surgery can give us some interesting insights here.

My understanding is that surgery research mostly takes place at university hospitals. I think that, outside medical devices, there isn't the same kind of non-practising science industry behind surgery research - it's all done by surgeons at research hospitals.

Research hospitals tend to be university hospitals and outside (and even inside) the US, university hospitals tend to be loosely government controlled.

So if we want to know what state controlled medical research could look like, I guess we just look to surgery.

Becoming a doctor, for example, is a lot longer than 3-4 years and is going to involve a lot more debt. Also if you want to be a doctor you have no choice but to do all of that formal education and pay the huge sums. If you want to learn software development you can do so for free (excluding time but that is true of all learning). All you need is a computer and an internet connection. All of the software you need can be free, there are loads of excellent free resources and even the non-free things like books are not very expensive.

I know people many people who learnt to code in their own time for ~6 months and landed a decent first job. Over the next couple of years they learnt a lot more and now have great jobs earning within 20% of what a doctor usually earns however they don't have the debt and saved a few years of their lives as well.

Not saying everyone can do this and become a software developer but it is very possible. I don't have a degree, I had to leave school at 16 (I am now 32) and worked in a shop to get by. I self-taught and now I earn a few £ under £100k making software. I have a super comfy life. I have zero debt (well a mortgage but no other debt), a nice house, family, a fair amount in savings, etc. Honestly I couldn't ask for more especially considering the rather small investment I put into getting this lifestyle.
tcoppi is arguing against market cap weighting, which is the reason why VITSX is so close to VFINX despite containing other stocks.

If the total market is outperforming S&P 500, that means the companies not in S&P 500 perform better overall, so giving them greater weight than suggested by their relative market cap would have been beneficial.
