It's breaking my heart watching a democracy slowly being suppressed and manipulated into a dictatorship.

I wish the people will find ways to stand up for their rights and initiate a peaceful revolution.
Is that actually a prevalent attitude, though? I mean, it's stupid... someone else retraining is easily still having it harder than someone who "picked right". And in the end, I'd much rather help pay for someone's education than have to walk past them on the street, begging for money.
It could mean they're expecting someone to write C++ for their client and server, work with a database, do fuzzing and other security testing, have some sysadmin experience, the works.

It could mean installing wordpress plugins, and someone overheard someone else mentioning they were thinking about doing a new project in C++ and decided to list that in the job posting in case it comes in handy.

It's too vague to mean anything to me.

You could ask the recruiter what they mean. You could go with a vague noncommital "Depends on the job/what you mean by full stack - but sure." You could do both. You could do neither, and avoid going through recruiters.
I don't understand. In my experience these vaporizers don't have any sort of smoke that lingers around and there is no unpleasant sensation associated with breathing around ecigarette users like there is with tobacco. Even if there is more than water vapor in there, I feel like it's very unlikely that I'd be getting any sort of significant dose from their exhalations, so why should I care if they smoke inside?
I've heard quite a few complaints over Unicode handling, but it's possible that these were past issues that just are hard to fix when migrating to newer versions.

The difference between web fonts and HTML/CSS is that HTML loads progressively and markup doesn't weight more than all other resources. So I am ok with both plain text and HTML pages but not ok with fonts until browser vendors make a better implementation and make them optional.
Good that people are working on those kind of projects like https://freedomboxfoundation.org/doc/flyer.pdf
Nothing that forces you, sure. But when you have a culture following that language for so long that encourages that, and have existing 3rd-party libraries and an ecosystem that makes it easier to do that... well, that's what happens.

Not sure about the GP of my original comment, but I'm not trying to be snide; I just see it everywhere, and it really frustrates me. I don't see it with Scala/C++/python/ruby programmers, so what's the common denominator? The language.
I agree. And the snapchat glasses bring the fundamentals of editing down to the level of fingerpainting, which effectively democratizes it. No matter how skilled an editor you are, if you're publishing to Snap, you're on the same playing field as any 14 year old doing the same thing.

I'm realizing how what I thought was just a refined consumer/prosumer company for photography, is involved in many different fields of deep science. And for a while now.
Socially relevant is a poor substitute for aesthetic.
Agreed. It'd be cool if snippets had a checksum api.
I wonder why they didn't mention vaselgel [1]. When I first heard about it a couple years ago it was pitched as an injection of $0.10 of chemicals into the vas deferens that would block sperm from traveling through it. They were hoping it would last 10 years, be reversible with another small injection, and be available in the U.S. in half a decade. A non-profit is funding the research and their goal is for it to be affordable even in developing countries.

Just today I was at a Apple Store to get my iPhone replaced under warranty and I saw a customer asking about the delivery time for a Mac Pro. The genius said to him point blank that they couldn't order one for him. That means two things, it's getting updated soon or it's getting axed.
I was more talking about a fall of real estate valuations as you introduce a significant land value tax. And it must be significant to cancel the impact of land value on the rise of inequality.
But rust has the exact same problem: if it's "safe", it's ironically not "secure" because the algorithm no longer controls its own memory operations. If you can't say, for instance, that the key is never swapped out, then it's not secure. But if you can say the key is never swapped out, you're at a level of direct memory control that is no longer "safe".
How to be an artist – Howard Hodgkin
Call me crazy, but the ability to chose who to marry or whether or not its permissible to end a life seems slightly more important than Comcast raising their prices again.

Your other issues are quite valid, but I thought that was a very poor lead example.
Have you ever been to the former USSR? I am not sure about what you mean by "forced russification" - 15 republics of ex-USSR had two state languages one Russian, one local. Almost every product, produced for local consumption had bilingual package (much like in Canada), (industrial goods manuals however were purely in Russian). Parents could choose if they want their children to be taught in their native languages or in Russian. Every document was bilingual. universities were bilingual (and still are in some republics with significant Russian minorities). Local artist, writers and poets who wrote in local languages were kept in a high regard, received bonuses, medals and all that things.

Overall, "forced russification" was about as bad as "forced Anglification" in Canada. Most of the republics of USSR were similar to Quebec in terms of being dominated by the language and culture of the majority.

Have you seen Spanish-teaching universities in the USA? I have not.
The Bizarre Plan to Drain the Mediterranean: Atlantropa
The reason is that while replication controllers and daemonsets fulfill making sure there are enough of xyz pod, they do not ensure that replication is set up between those pods. For example, in redis one must do `slaveof` for slaves if implementing basic replication. If the master goes down, a new master must be appointed and then `slaveof` configured on afterward. That in itself requires either a) an operator or b) concensus among enough nodes to reach a quorom about these.

So while kubernetes could be the authority (via the master), generally it's only meant for scheduling pods. There would have to be some better guarantees about master availability if it were to control these things.
do you know anything about the wire temperature in these things? I looked at both links and didn't see any numbers outside the paywall. Another comment mentions a vapor temperature of <260C, but nothing about the wire temperatures.

Stainless or Kanthal at 500C or something should indeed be quite inert, it's just not that hot.
Hmmmm wait. I don't see how "every piece of software" is like that.

Opening an old Excel or Word file does not randomly fail (last time I checked).

Or, if you pick some circa-2005 Java library, it still works.

So it is not clear why org-mode gets a free pass here.
At least they could prompt you that "your stuff will not work" if you upgrade.

That doesn't have to be the case. Android is open. There's Plasma and Jolla, too.

Also important to note that permanent infertility is quite a strong side effect

> Eight participants had not recovered to meet the criteria of return to fertility after 52 weeks in recovery phase, the last visit according to the study protocol. These participants were followed on a case by case basis until they regained normal sperm counts (n 5, up to 74 wk of recovery) or declined further follow-up (n 2). One volunteer did not recover within 4 years since his last injections.

I almost bought the new Session just a few weeks ago. After seeing these comments, I'm glad I didn't.

The reason I didn't buy is I realized how much they are screwing people by charging crazy prices for essential add-ons. $xx for a basic mount (a piece of plastic), $xx for a bolt to connect to the mount, $xx for a case, $xx for a charging kit, and so on and so on. You thought you were buying a $400 gadget but suddenly your cart total is 2x that.
To stop Win10 from rebooting after installing updates, follow step #2 at the following link:

https://superuser.com/questions/973009/conclusively-stop-wak...

Note that the group profile to disable reboots does not work; Win10 completely ignores it. I agree that this should be supported in the UI for sophisticated users. These sorts of frankly insane steps should not be necessary.

This is the problem. No one pays attention to these things from happening. Thank you for posting this.

We found it linked from our post. 700 views later, and a lot of positive feedback we feel good in having done the right thing in speaking out.
This is true, but in my experience sampling can take longer with higher-dimensional models, even with the same number of samples. So from an efficiency point of view, VI is still great compared to sampling.
This might be a joke but everybody does it manually for real. Whenever I copy-paste some tricky function from SO I like to add a code comment with the url pointing to the stackoverflow.com answer. This allows future maintainers to refer back to SO and see if a better answer has surfaced or read comments about any issues.
That's true in the asymptotic, but the dimension find a way to rear its head in the constant to the big O through the variance of your estimator. It's still better than Riemann integration, but it sucks nonetheless.

For instance, integrate the function f(x1,x2,...xd) = 6^d * x1 * (1-x1) * ... * xd * (1-xd) on the d-dimensional unit cub (the answer is 1, for all d). the expected variance for a single point estimator is -1+(6/5)^d, which increases exponentially in the number of dimensions. That's the multiplicative constant to your big O.

For a probabilistic example let x_i ~ N(0,1) for i in 1..d and let s = Sum x_i. Try estimating the probability that -0.1 < s < 0.1 by Monte-Carlo sampling.

If most of the probability distribution mass is located near a manifold of lower dimensions, as tends to be the case for natural data, your variance will be huge.

MCMC, HMC both improve this state of affair by letting you walk or "glide" on the manifold, but you still have to contend with curvature, with multiple modes etc.
wow, said it better than I ever could
Its more the ecosystem around it than the name. When I was first getting into web development all the tutorials were around setting up MySQL. phpMyAdmin was a friendly front end where I could actually see what I was doing.

Postgres has gotten better and friendlier over time, but its still much easier to ramp up with MySQL.
Ten Most Loved Subscriptions in America: 2016
This headline is horribly editorialized. Can we have it changed to "Male Birth Control Study terminated due to safety concerns"?

Of note, 75% of the trial participants reported that they would have continued with this treatment if it were available, even after being informed that it was being terminated due to safety concerns, and the (male) study participants reported being more satisfied with the treatment than their (female) partners did.

Conversely, the adverse events extremely high rates of changed (mostly increased) libido, mood disorders, and pain (both at the injection site and elsewhere); and out of 320 trial participants there were two attempted suicides (one successful -- which the researchers attributed to academic pressure, but suicides rarely have a just a single cause). If the female birth control pill had the same safety profile, it would be the leading cause of death in 20-45 year old women.

Someone else posted this here already, but we wanted to answer questions ourselves. Thank you all for the amazing support and kind words.
The rates of serious side effects were much higher than any female birth control currently on the market [1]:

> Nearly a quarter of participants experienced pain at the injection site, nearly half got acne, more than 20 percent had a mood disorder, 38 percent experienced an increased sexual drive, and 15 percent reported muscle pain. Other, rarer side effects included testicular pain, night sweats, and confusion. One study participant died by suicide, though the researchers determined it wasn’t related to the birth control. Twenty men dropped out of the study because of the side effects.

You still need internet for this to work ;) these boxes only work in places where the internet isn't going to be shut down on a whim.

Countries that are willing to blanket the internet and do mass arrests aren't exactly the place where you want to be caught with those things.

This is the problem with all the so called "freedom" tools (tails, tor, various vpns etc.) and it is that they essentially only provide safe "freedom" to people who are already generally free.

It's strange that Gulen is considered a radical islamist by some and a super pacifists, modern muslim by others. How is this possible?

For some background, he's well supported in international muslims with seemingly more forward-thinking views.

Vox has more info on this: http://www.vox.com/2016/11/2/13494126/male-birth-control-stu...

The study was terminated after serious safety concerns. Over half of participants reported adverse effects.
I see, thank you for explaining. I'll definitely stick to the "known" libraries if I need AES.
It's quite a bit late for that.

Private equity investors that specialize in turnarounds and restructurings do that on a daily basis.
Is there a way to have proportional representation for a single person elected office? I understand how it works in parliament or multiple person offices, but isn't there still a necessity for a direct voting mechanism when you are electing a single person?
>>I'm not sure why you think that survivors on Earth, struggling for survival in a barren wasteland, would be more likely to fall into war than the inhabitants of Mars, struggling for survival in a barren wasteland.

A fully self-sufficient Mars colony would not, by definition, be "struggling for survival."

>> A technological civilization like ours depends on a body of knowledge that's way too big to fit in one or 1000 people's heads.

A fully self-sufficient Mars colony would have plenty of computers that can store data. In fact, since the goal of such a colony would be to act as Earth's backup, we would most likely have most of the Earth's combined knowledge stored in a large datacenter underneath the Martian surface.

On the other hand, the shockwave from an asteroid that wipes 90% of the population on Earth would also instantly fry most electronics and render most technology useless. Like I said, it would send civilization back a thousand years. Sure, we would still have the knowledge in people's brains, but it turns out knowledge can be forgotten, especially when not actively recalled by the brain. When all your scientists have to become farmers, it is not likely that humanity would be able to retain all the knowledge it has collected over the past millenia.

A Xiaomi Yi can do 1080p60 for $90 or less - and works fine. It's about the size of a GoPro. I use it as a helmet cam on my motorcycle.

I made my own helmet mount for the Yi:

A Mobius ActionCam can do 1080p30 or 720p60 at $75 and it's even smaller - about the size of a matchbox, or keychain dongle. I use it on mini-quadcopters; my son put it on a model rocket. It still works. :)

Removing the comment since it was misleading - I was under the impression that testosterone supplements increased aggression, but apparently the study that I linked [1] had some flaws. See crimsonpowder's comment as it has more to date studies on this.

Maybe not iMovie, but I've been having great fun with the 'Memories' feature in iOS 10. I used it to make a 4min video of our recent family holiday in 30min on the plane.
- Imported photos from our waterproof camera (compact-style, not GoPro. Cheaper than GoPro!) via the Apple Camera Connector.
- Used mainly photos from the iPhone, but because I have Live Photos turned on, it was the 6-sec video that got put into the final clip instead of just the still.

I agree with your premise; the hard part is definitely finding the interesting bits. Actually putting them together is easy after that.
There's some good stuff happening with "exciting moment detection" based on other sensors; like peak heart-rate and speed if you record those on Garmin.
I personally would not trust anything I read about him on Wikipedia, since it can be edited by just about anyone, and he is estimated to have about 5 million followers. Read the link I provided - it's a lot more objective and provides a lot of historical perspective as well.
It's kinda of a side business (cine lenses, too), but "refined consumer / prosumer" would be Fuji o Leica. Not many lens-makers are more "pro oriented" than CZ, maybe Rodenstock and Schneider-Kreuznach.
You can try to spin it anyway you want. Stalin, as Georgian, had no, absolutely no feeling towards Ukranians, as for example Finnish people have zero feelings towards Portuguese. There was no desire to eradicate Ukranians as ethnicity, in a way Hitler tried to eradicate Jewish people. There was no desire to destroy Ukranian culture. In fact, Khruschev , no matter what official sources say, was widely considered to be Ukranian, has always been seen wearing Ukranian ethical closing, and was instrumental in moving Crimea to Ukraine from Russia. Ukranian writers, such as Gogol, Shevchenko were considered extremly important part of Soviet culture,and no matter what was the resublic you lived at it was taught in the schools.

Nothing close to the treatment of Native Americans, Asians and Blacks in the post-war United States.
Hitler got rid of the brown coats when he didn't need them anymore also.

Fethullah Gulen and Erdogan were besties until about 3 years ago.

It's also a bit funny that you call this guy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fethullah_G%C3%BClen a Terrorist, if he is he has the best poker face of all of them so far.

While he probably has more than one agenda, neither the US, Israel nor any EU nation has never put him or his followers on any watch list, and at least publicly he strongly condemned any act of terrorism and incitement.
He is such and "islamist" that he was probably the only major religious leader that didn't put the blame on Israel for the Flotilla incident and rather said that the organizers should have cooperated with them and put more effort into ensuring that radicals would not join the flotilla, this doesn't exactly seem like something a Terrorist would say publicly on several occasions and probably didn't made him any friends on either side of the political spectrum.

If you want here is a decent paper on him and his movement by the German Institute for International
and Security Affairs https://www.swp-berlin.org/fileadmin/contents/products/resea...
Assuming you stuck to federal loans, the minimum payment on the standard repayment plan is $50/month, with a 6 month grace period after graduating before you have to start making payments, and the monthly payments can go lower on an income-based plan if your finances are such that that would be necessary. Even if you couldn't get any job but fast food after graduating, this should be manageable.

I really don't get all the hyperbole around this. As long as you didn't make arrangements with private loan sharks, you should be fine after college.
Thanks for clarifying your points.

I understand what you're saying, but I feel the "aggressor" is the party that first commits an unwarranted action. India was in the process of decolonization and the Portuguese refused to leave, despite prior repeated non-violent requests. If the cops are called on an individual for trespassing, would you call the cops the aggressor for trying to remove the individual?
We weren't really talking about individual laws. It is the institution of Law in general that has been degraded, and that is partly due to all the extra laws. Each new law makes someone's life better, or else it wouldn't have been lobbied into existence, but on average each new law makes life worse for the public as a whole. The public knows this at some level, so it's understandable that the average person now has less respect for the Law than the average person did in e.g. 1950.
Yeah I don't get the derision. On my desk are multiple electronic items (laptop, speakers, mobile phone, mouse, keyboard, external hard drive) that are all either made in or assembled in China.

Every other Windows laptop is crap, IMO.
It would only be valuable while unknown, as soon as it was known by a large enough crowd it would cause a viral reaction blowing out all availability for some big event.
