> over simplification

I suppose it's like "gravity" being an oversimplification of the bending of light around stars.
I haven't whitelisted a site from ad blocking in over a year, nor will I again, this is mostly why. The only financial incentive I think we can leverage against supporters of unscrupulous advertising networks is refusing to browse their sites or view their ads.

I used to make exceptions for polite site operators who aren't needlessly rude to people who choose privacy and security, after evaluating their choice of ads. Never again. It is not our responsibility to support bad business practices out of guilt, perceived value of consumed content, disabling security features "to enable content" or otherwise. Crying that their business model is failing doesn't get any sympathy from me when it has been a problem for years.

Is there an ad network out there which you would trust to serve you content?
In principle, yes. However, there is not only evidence for dark matter from galaxy rotation curves but also from large scale structure simulations and especially from the CMB. The interesting thing is, the CMB observations, which react to the number of particles in the standard model, agree rather well with rotation curves. (And IIRC there is also a way to disentangle structure formation from simple gravitational interactions, so there are "2 and a half" independent observations which indicate dark matter or something that closely resembles dark matter.
Agree with that, if the day comes I will like to see the Aedes Aegypti to be on top of the list, that little bastard needs to dissapear.
Given that, e.g. amazon stopped selling Chromecast, I don't have high hopes for interoperability here.
Dark matter wouldn't cause lensing because it's diffuse; only very dense and massive astronomical objects cause light to bend enough for us to detect it.
> It can be stored in any of several data structures, with various pros and cons depending on other circumstances, but the choice of data structure has nothing to do with the algorithm.

It has nothing to do with the theory of the algorithm. But everything to do with the implementation. So I think the original statement is true.

The question is: does the probability that a given user accesses Twitch over Google search go down as the user uses Twitch more often? Does it so more than on other sites, maybe because regular twitch use promotes other ways of engagement (phone app, console app, email notifications, twitter links from the streamers, etc)?

If 90% of new Twitch users reach Twitch over Google, 30% of one week old users and only 5% of one month old users, then a flat graph could actually indicate growth.
Get your math right, 50 H1B's at 50K and 1 H1B at 200K would avg out close to 53K and not 125K.

But I am happy with Scala as it is. Why should I use something else? I, of course, know what a monad is, but I do not exactly care. For me, expressiveness is much more important than purity.

I even use vars where it is appropriate! :)
You're playing fast and loose with a lot of concepts here, and I think what you've written does not do justice to the actual complexity of the history.

For instance, in your paragraph starting "Establishments want...", you're conflating the flair in the article (buttons on suspenders, walls decked with antique signs and implements) with rococo design elements like intricate patterns, gold foil, and ornate columns. This is not at all where the "flair" is coming from. The "flair" is about cozy, old, familiar things. Not rococo.

And there are a lot of kinds of "mid-century modern, minimalist design" -- some of it was intended to be affordable (e.g., Eames designs like the bent plywood furniture), as you say.

But affordability in itself is not a defining characteristic of modernism -- consider Mies and much of Corbu's work, e.g. the Farnsworth house. Or Wright's houses, some of which were affordable (the Usonians), but most not (e.g., the ones with bespoke furniture). Modernism responded to different imperatives -- e.g., form follows function, and stripping extraneous decoration in the name of pure design.
Strange stuff seems to happen when a neutral gas and a plasma "collide": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_ionization_velocity

One guess could be (as the WP article above seems to imply) that kinetic energy that would normally go into turbulence instead goes into ionizing the neutral gas (i.e. surrounding airflow). That would transfer kinetic (turbulence) energy into electrostatic energy, and thereby of course reduce turbulence.

But this is just a hunch.

- Professional athletes

- Writers and artists (many start at an early age)

- Actors (lots of actors start working professionally as kids)

Also, you can certainly become a hacker without devoting your youth to it. It's definitely possible to become a hacker when you're middle aged, and in 5-10 years someone with aptitude can become a very good hacker and have a long career ahead of them. It's much harder to start a career in professional sports in middle age.
Unfortunately they print as (1 2 3), even though they are different data structures. A naive user would think that if (1 2 3) is a list, then anything that prints like (1 2 3) is a list... printing it and rereading it -> I get a new data structure type. Really?

Added with the random use of Lisp names to mean something different, while claiming to be a Lisp, this is only creating confusion.

>More specifically, the Nixon administration wanted to put down the Yippies and the Black Panthers. It worked.

Is there any actual evidence this is true? A memo, or even a documented conversation?

In any event drug prohibition laws in the US started the year after Nixon was born, so even if Nixon sought to use them for his own nefarious purposes that doesn't address the actual prohibition.

>The U.S. influence over the U.N., and aid and trade leverage, along with China's historic political issues with opium...

Yes, and what were China's "historical political issues" with opium? That Chinese society was damaged by carrying the dead weight of so many opium addicts, and they couldn't make it illegal because the British wouldn't let them? Tell me again how this supports the argument Western countries forced drug prohibition on China when the reality was exactly the opposite?

>It was subsequently used to fund black ops by unaccountable intelligence agencies, and build the prison-industrial complex which has destroyed a generation of Black Americans.

That's quite a stretch. Yes, the US supported some groups in Central America that paid the bills with drugs. Just like every group of revolutionaries in Central America. The fact that you support a group with money, information, or advice doesn't mean you own it.

This from California:

"At midyear 2013, 90% of inmates had a current or prior violent or serious felony conviction, and 16% were registered sex offenders."

http://www.ppic.org/main/publication_show.asp?i=702

That "generation of [b]lack Americans" is in prison because of violence, not drugs. The idea there's some big conspiracy wherein The System Keeps The Black Man Down with drug laws just isn't borne out by the numbers.
Stop throwing people in jail for "moral crimes" such as drug use, and we'd see a massive decline. Victimless crimes, such as contempt of court for not being "respectful" enough of a sitting judge, or the like should never send you to a cage either. One could make a massive list of the ridiculous uses of our criminal justice system, and sadly many don't see it as a problem.

I don't see this either, but I don't have Flash installed. Could that be the culprit?
Interesting idea.

Another way of improvement is to use alloca() for small local (to function) objects but there is no direct way to know if a variable is local or not (in C and C++ at least).

The thread seems to say nothing about them being faster. I guess if they were faster they would be quite useful for trampolines.

Not sure you should ever use a multi-byte instruction for alignment, but then you shouldn't use NOP for alignment in general. That's what 0xCC is for.

This argument doesn't make any sense. What would be the reason for seeing more repeat offenders other than sending more people to jail in the first place? The statistic they're observing is a RESULT of prison growth, not the cause. Obviously they correlate, but without the incarceration rate going up first, this simply doesn't make any sense - the average # of prior offenses can't increase unless the rate of conviction increases first (and must lag by the average recidivism time), so average # of prior offenses is clearly not a leading cause.

In any case, you can easily see that the incarceration rate grew at a pace far in excess of the crime rates: http://www.usprisonculture.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/...

The whole idea that the two are related in any way, including this one, is verkakte.
I've been thinking about this since the first article was posted a while back. Something really bothered me about this case, and I finally put my finger on it. I realize this thread may not be read since it has long fallen off the front page, but that's ok.

The problem is that plaintiff's case is logically flawed at its very core. The argument is that Doig cost him $10 million by refusing to authenticate the painting.

Why is that authentication worth anything? Because Doig is in a position to confirm that it is part of his oeuvre. And any such authentication, if provided, assumes that Doig is telling the truth.

But Doig refused to authenticate the painting. Now plaintiff says he's a liar.

So, if he's a liar, his authentication is worthless.

If he's telling the truth, the painting is not by him.

In other words, plaintiff failed to state a claim upon which relief may be granted. There's no need to even gather further evidence. It's disturbing that it took a federal judge three years to decide this; but then again, they are political appointees, so the standard isn't really whether they are logical thinkers.
Good point. As much as we romanticise that we're no longer economic migrants, most people probably still are. In which case, as long as there is money to be made in city, people will go irregardless of its aesthetics. They may complain with tweets and Medium rants, but they'll still come and stay.
From the article it seems to me that it's not the telephoto lenses that were the breakthrough here but the lens coating on the lenses. So is the next step to work with the manufacturer to get those coatings available on purpose-built astronomy equipment?

... it has always bothered me that such a huge percentage of the matter in the universe would be nearly unobservable.

Maybe think of it this way: expecting matter to be easily observable is an anthropocentric point of view, because human intuition defines matter as something that can be observed by the senses.

But the universe was not designed to be observed by us. There's no reason to expect that the majority of matter should be observable.
> It is a problem, true. But suspicion never killed anybody.

A classic, recurring bug in the design of the human brain, one that gets triggered in me all the time, is that we naturally conceive of the whole world being like the tiny part that we experience; it takes serious effort to workaround that bug and walk in another person's shoes. Personally, I try to look for a specific signal: When I solve a problem - one I haven't experienced myself - by minimizing someone else's experience of it. e.g., 'That's not really a big deal.' Well, due to the bug referenced above it's not a big deal for me, but that attitude gets humanity in a lot of deep sh*t.

Thus, I'm not going to tell the GP that it's not a big deal; I don't have to live under constant suspicion every time I'm in public - though I imagine that would be awful. I do know that harassment of black people by law enforcement (and civilians), which often results from suspicion, is a very big and widespread problem. Look up 'driving while black', or 'stop and frisk'; you can read many, many stories of people being searched dozens of times, being humiliated such as being made to drop their pants on the street for a 'search', being assaulted ...

Think of it this way: Stop & frisk is a very widespread police tactic. So has it ever happened to you? Or to anyone know know? Even once? For most people reading this, the answer will indicate the bubble we live in. I'm pretty sure that if some attorney on Wall Street was stopped and frisked, or made to drop his pants, even once, the program would be over by the time he buckled them back up.

> To take it to the level of mortal danger

This isn't a realistic standard. Most serious problems in the world are not mortal danger, from assault to rape to being imprisoned, harassed, forced to eat in a different restaurant because of the color of your skin ...

Yes, I would say the relationship is the opposite. Data structures imply a set of algorithms based on the promises of the data structure implementation. Algorithms themselves are free-floating things that can be reasoned about just as well in a C program as an instruction flow diagram as a Turing machine program. Take for instance an algorithm to divide two 32-bit integers. Or an algorithm that computes the max in a sequence (which is an abstraction) of numbers. There is no data structure, unless the argument is that a memory cell is itself a data structure.

This is very cool,
It rather effectively simulates sexual reproduction in a virus.

Furthermore, the host could develop an immune response to one strain of a module, catch another strain and the other dormant modules once again become active.

One scary facet of the way that this works, if there exist module combinations that prove lethal to the hosts, there is a significantly reduced likelihood that the infection will burn itself out - the lethal version can exist spread out across the population randomly combining to strike down some poor innocent mosquito.

Why would you feel being penalized? You wouldn't meet these hypothetical requirements, but you wouldn't be penalized no more than I was penalized because my parents income disqualified me from Pell Grants.

Your underlying point is valid--a founder having an advanced degree in STEM has little bearing on the success of a startup. So if the goal of the US is to encourage entrepreneurship, and small business growth, focus requirements on those traits that are tied to success.

Addressing the lack of STEM in the US should be a separate visa program that is appropriately prioritized for that purpose.

I haven't replaced Docker with rkt on a big scale (or ran Docker on a big scale), but I recently changed over some Docker containers to rkt.

First off, this and the rest of the rkt docs is a good starting point https://coreos.com/rkt/docs/latest/rkt-vs-other-projects.htm...

Second, rkt runs Docker images without modifications, so you can swap over really easily https://coreos.com/rkt/docs/latest/running-docker-images.htm...

rkt uses acbuild (which is part of the application container specification, see https://github.com/appc/spec) to build images, and I had a very tiny Docker image just running a single Go process.

I just created a shell script that ran the required acbuild commands to get as similar image.

A good place to get started is the getting started guide https://coreos.com/rkt/docs/latest/getting-started-guide.htm...

Docker runs as a daemon, and rkt doesn't (which is one of the benefits). I just start my rkt container using systemd, so I have a systemd file with 'ExecStart=/usr/bin/rkt run myimage:1.23.4', but you can start the containers with whatever you want.

It's also possible to use rkt with Kubernetes, but I have not tried that yet. http://kubernetes.io/docs/getting-started-guides/rkt/

Drug crimes cover only 16% of inmates in US state prisons [1]. It's higher in Federal institutions, but that's only about 15% of total inmates.

I don't disagree that many drug offenders probably shouldn't be in jail, but the US could release all of them and we'd still have the highest incarceration rate in the world.

Intriguing, but the original posts are from 2006 with a bump from 2008 and definitive answers are never given, just "this may require an NDA to discuss."

If you care about optimising NOPs, you're probably wrting a compiler, so I am curious if these instructions have found their way into any mainstream compiler such as GCC or Clang. Does this post explain some odd compiler behaviour?

Has newer information been published making this anything other than abuse of an undocumented quirk? I.e., liable to blow up on new processors, as it does on the Pentium MMX, according to the second post.

I mean, it's interesting but I'm not sure why it's here.
