I'm honestly not even sure what such a system would look like so I think you are jumping to conclusions. I just don't think segregated schools are the solution.

I think we need to rethink the entire system. Every student learns differently and at a different pace so forcing everyone into the exact same experience isn't going to work. Maybe there is a case for more advanced opportunities based on academic (or athletic, or any other criteria) achievement. I don't think that requires an entirely separate school.
I actually disagree with both of you. SMMRY/AutoTLDR does an acceptable job when pasting URLs of the latest news, but its not something I would actually want to consume. More of a showcase that summarization AI has made some huge progress in recent years, but its still not at a point where I'd pay for it, as a service.
It's sad that Google Cloud Platform is behind on this.
I think I get it, the trick is to find a wholly "new dimension" of hugeness. My solution just continues going bigger in a known direction/dimension.
You nailed my issues with the steamlink. There currently isn't enough explicit support, and when you run into a game that runs as a win32 executable with menus, etc, it completely rips you out of the experience.

I think it does a pretty good job with what it has, and if they can get more people onboard to being steam link friendly I think over time it'll be a great experience, but for now it's more of a first generation type thing.
>And sometimes they can't even be bothered to do the most basic fact-checking or even issue corrections to online articles about India, the way they almost always do for US coverage or coverage of other regions.

I don't know about that. Every time I read an article related to something I know about personally, there are multiple problems. You won't see an NYT article about guns, for instance, that isn't riddled with errors.
If you're asking that question you haven't been paying attention.

Science is the enemy. It will be destroyed if it continues to get in the way of the administration.

It happened here (Canada) http://www.macleans.ca/news/canada/vanishing-canada-why-were... and it could happen on an even bigger scale in America. The Conservative party went about cutting funding, slashing archives, burning everything to the ground, sometimes literally. They'd do it with little warning, zero fanfare, and an aggressive timeline. One day you had a climate archive, the next the shredding company had taken care of it.

Those servers aren't free. They depend on budgets and grants to stay running. If that money is cut, those files are gone.

I know it's an example app, but your code can be rearranged to not listening to scroll even at all.
Or even a little throttle function would do just fine.

It's also still a topic worth discussing in the context of ARM devices running Linux (be it on a smartphone or a netbook or a single-board PC). There's also the additional topic of whether or not Windows Mobile applications would be worth running via a native ARM->ARM variant of Wine.
Without knowing this specific case, I can't say for sure. But my broader point is that the knowledge base required of doctors is so huge that even if it's not excusable, it is understandable. Like online community moderation, it's really easy to point to cases where doctors got it wrong and assume it's all for naught.

Absolutely the accuracy of doctors should be improved, but the bar is not "are you as good as a UCSF resident?" (one of the best programs nationally) but "are you better than nothing?"

It just seems crazy to me to suggest that the median doctor, i.e. at least half, is worthless.
We should be mirroring fucking everything.

Where's a good place to put data like this? Is there even a place where people can start to inventory what's at risk?

The biggest problem is not knowing what's out there, what records need to be protected, as there's so many people doing important work.
Not just for cross-browser compatibility, it's other main benefit is a DOM manipulator.
Hover is great and when you call them a human being picks up the phone. They have my business
So because doctors feel that they are not compensated fairly that justifies them using the legal system to stand between patients and lifesaving medications of their own financial benefit?

I guess doctors don't believe in the free market.
I don't think many people disagree that climate change exists. What's debated is what the proper solution is. Throwing public money necessarily diverts private resources. Who is to say gov't has a better solution? Would you really trust a bureaucratic monopoly led by Trump to come up with the best policy for energy? I don't think gov't should be in charge of picking favorites with regulations and grants.
A lot more folks are OK with jury duty than conscription, because it imposes a lot less on one's life, and the argument for its necessity to a just society is more convincing to many.
This is great news. The reason we support IPv6 lookups but only over IPv4 connections on https://ipinfo.io is because we use AWS with VPC, which hasn't historically supported IPv6. Except many sites/services to add IPv6 now that were previously limited by this.
"Introducing the Redd Bar!"

Fucking Reddit had every chance to learn, and instead failed harder on a more massive scale.
> You won't see an NYT article about guns, for instance, that isn't riddled with errors.

Left-leaning media (like the Times) is generally pretty bad when covering guns, yes. But it's nowhere near the level of blatant disregard for facts that the Times has when covering India.
jQuery encouraged that behavior everywhere.

The constant traversing of the DOM over and over and over again to re-select jQuery DOM objects. Sure you can write that correctly. But I rarely if ever saw anyone to the point that when I would, most developers who typically worked in jQuery would be confused.

It's very unlikely Trump will beat his predecessor in that regard.
Unfortunately it was the mods and admins that rewrote the company and cemented their place as kings of the burning trash pile that is Reddit.

It used to be a much more civilized place, but over time kingdoms were established, trolls grew in numbers, and now, yikes. Even living in a sub-sub-Reddit doesn't isolate you from the occasional incursion.
IPv4 is great, but nat makes things so hard. This sounds wonderful.
The internet archive has made this their mission.

Archive Team keeps a constant eye out for major content sites that are at risk of being shut down and proactively mirroring their content. http://www.archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Main_Page

On EPA data https://twitter.com/textfiles/status/824110893034311680

They don't just archive online content either. They spend many resources scanning magazines, ingesting (and cataloging) CDs and floppies before they all rot away.
I've always lost motivation sometime shortly after starting on a new side project.So what I've done lately is when I think of something I'll then determine if there is a way to get it built and usable by the end of the day, even if it is just a simple script. This way I can actually later use the thing and when I have another idea to expand on it I can take that on later as another day's work.

This might not work for everyone but for me I've actually built a few useful tools that I use everyday and have been able to continue building on. The only 2 requirements needed before I undertake something is 1) that it is something I see myself using on a semi-daily basis and 2) that I can build it within a day.
It's that kind of thinking that gets us really slow software.
Why Multi-Tenant Application Architecture Matters in 2017
If you did that re-selecting with only a throttle you would kill performance on a decent sized DOM on a mobile device anyway. That is exactly my point about jQuery and developers.

The proper thing to do would be to select that element before the scroll and pass that into the event. Otherwise performance would still be awful.

Obviously that is just a toy example that doesn't really have a point(like you correctly stated), but it was to illustrate the constant riding of sizzle to select things over and over again, killing performance.

EDIT: Downvotes prove the point. Take a look at the sizzle cache for yourself. The fact that so many people misunderstand jQuery enough for this to get significantly downvoted on a site where the average competency of developer is probably a bit higher than in the wild shows you exactly the horror that jQuery was for mobile performance.

Although, maybe that means there really aren't many skilled web developers on this site anyway. Because the people who downvoted this are completely wrong so maybe I shouldn't assume there is much talent around here.
The software, such as it is, is only part of the problem. The community itself is crumbling, there's just too many people in too many places to effectively manage.

When it was a smaller community it was more self-policing. Now the police have given up and it's the inmates running the asylum.
It should be relatively cheaper in places with lots of mid-to-high rise development. For example, Berlin is relatively cheap as I understand it. London is expensive, but if you randomly click around it on Google StreetView, you'll see there's way more 1-2 story townhouses there than 5-10 story residential buildings.
I'd like to read more about this. Do you have references describing the NYT behavior in this case? Or examples?
> I fail to see the downside of learning social and communication skills for people not like yourself. That just sounds like a recipe for a well rounded individual.

You might also have failed to see all the bright kids who dumbed themselves down and achieved a lot less than they could have in order to attain popularity and avoid bullying. I'll take "well rounded" to mean "not really excelling in anything".

Half the internet shall be available on IPv6 soon now. ;)
As an Indian who bought the Firefox OS phone, I second the cheap phones strategy being what killed it. I remember it taking so long just to open an app and say search or even to open the marketplace, I gave up very often. Forget about developing for them. I think it is atleast partly because of the bad hardware, I don't know enough innards of the OS itself to say whether it was inefficient or not.
Girl sings Beyoncé better than Beyoncé
It works both ways. In my first job I had the most intelligent and insightful boss I've ever encountered but I was too young and cocky to notice and the same went for my coworkers. We insulted him behind his back, ignored his suggestions to improve our work, ignored the fact that he was a truly interesting person who had some incredible stories to tell (his background was consumer electronics and radio comm's systems) and it wasn't until I left the company, travelled, grew wiser and older that I realized we as a team made him a pretty unhappy person and he wound up leaving the company to take a more junior role to save his sanity. The only reason he couldn't get rid of us was he wasn't respected by the owner of the (quite small) company and thus no real power beyond supervision. Work went out the door on time so everything was dandy.

Be careful judging others abilities through the lens of your own role in a company. Now that I've had two managerial roles I can see things from his perspective and often long to take a job where I'm simply judged on my own work rather than the sum of a collective.
Overloading one operator in terms of other
Agreed. The best manager I have had was non technical but at the end of the day he knew that his job was to defer to us on technical matters and make sure that there was nothing hindering us from getting things done, while ours was to get things done and making sure that we kept him updated on progress and blockers.

> Its the weirdos who gave us the Apple // and the Mac. Not the button down conservative culture Thiel represents.

I don't think that's fair. First of all, in some sense Thiel is one of those "weirdos" you mentioned above as a gay man. But that aside, the more modern versions of those enterprises -- google, facebook, uber -- were all funded by that "button-down conservative culture". It is hard, if not impossible, to call the success of those enterprises as anything but cooperation between "the weirdos" and people like Thiel.

And it is of course ridiculous to say that Thiel isn't genuinely a member of the tech community: if partners in ycombinator aren't genuine members of the tech industry, then who is? Just the engineers?
One of the VPs at my prevoous companies used to sit in on our quarterly hackathons and build something. Made him a fantastic and well regarded engineering manager.
Unfortunately, most of our tests aren't all the good and in and of themselves the results are pretty meaningless.

Back in medical school we were taught that 80% of the diagnosis comes from the history, 10% from the physical examination and 10% from the investigations. Or something like that, it's the idea, not the numbers that matter.

As a young computer nerd, this didn't sit well with me, but the more I practice medicine the more I understand it.

My teachers didn't realise at the time, but I think they were actually talking about Bayesian probability.

I think we are talking about this more and more in medicine, but unfortunately not all specialities have embraced it.

There are lots of likelihood ratios published and good statistics available to help with diagnosis, but we don't use them effectively. There are some online tools and apps available to help navigate the literature, but I'm not really sure why we don't use them more.
For me, the most important piece of Zinsser's advice is reflected in the complaint and the other complaints in response and in my remark and in the article. They're all in the first person.
Unless something has changed since I just happened to have checked earlier today, VPC ELBs are still IPv4-only. They return AAAA records on the ipv6 and dualstack subdomains like their classic/non-VPC counterparts (which do fully support IPv6), but the ports aren't open on the returned addresses, so it's not very useful. Maybe someone from Amazon can chime in?
It's a very very bad idea if you are going to do this sort of thing to attract any media attention or to ever talk to them about anything, much less let them take a picture of you.
You should disable flash by default these days. I haven't come across a site in months that requires it.
The downside is that at least in my experience the newer doctors seem to be docbots. Lousy bedside manner.

I've had the dubious honor of spending quality time in a few hospitals with sick relatives in the last year. The nurses rock, and PAs and NPs seem to do what residents used to do.

The residents in particular seem to be clueless. With electronic records, they can't look at the chart as easily and aren't situationally aware.
As much as it's probably a logistical nightmare, they basically need to back up everything now. This is triage time because everything is at risk of being shut down.

You know when the Internet Archive itself is making a contingency plan to move out of the US that things are truly fucked.

The most difficult thing here is any prirotization they end up doing must be kept absolutely secret or you're going to be providing a hit-list to the administration should they ever want one.

I saw an asthmatic woman in A+E today, all her blood tests were in the 'normal' range, does that mean she's well?

No, she was very unwell. However the test results would either be normal in someone regardless of the severity of their asthma, or would be expected to be 'abnormal' in someone with mild asthma, and 'normal' in someone with severe asthma. The ability to interpret those test results, and take a history and examine the patient is important.

Similarly, we used the latest evidence-based guidelines to assess the patient's asthma severity, and based on several objective criteria (breathing rate, oxygenation of blood, peak flow, etc) the guidelines determined she had moderate-severe asthma

However we called the ICU doctors to see her. The ICU consultant, with many decades of experience managing acutely unwell asthmatics, simply looked at the patient for two minutes, observing how her chest moved during breathing, and the sounds and respiratory effort she was making, and decided to take her to ICU. This was a good decision as she ended up deteriorating and requiring very aggressive treatment. Whilst guidelines can make a suggestion based on the interpretation of some objective data points, the ability to assess a patient as a whole, based on history and examination, is still an important skill, and one which it is hard to automate
chromium is open source and you can create a google account and add each API you want.

There are no ties to big corp unless you want to. You don't get features from giant cluster of computers for free.

When firefox implements voice recognition, translation etc., I will look forward to how they decide to monetize it.

Regarding "about:config", that's a great feature. Let's see if it still exists in the future versions. After all, wouldn't it confuse the mainstream masses they are so desperate to appeal to?

When they start caring about power users again, I will switch. Until then, they can keep dumbing it down til it's garbage.
I know you're trolling, but...

> I can see why circumstances make you feel that there's a special something about a fertilized egg

This is being intentionally dismissive. The fact is a fertilized egg inside a woman has, for centuries, resulted in a baby being born without the woman being able to do anything about it. Being able to safely terminate a pregnancy is a relatively new development. The fact that my grandmother had an abortion and, because of the law at the time and the circumstances surrounding it, the procedure didn't succeed in terminating the pregnancy is very different from playing the what-if game.

> Neutral is pro-choice. No law.

No, neutral is letting others determine the law without interjecting my opinion.

> That's a fundamental misunderstanding of what science is. There's no reason you can't apply science to religion.

I never said you couldn't. I only said that both science and religion can both be the basis for political positions. It was you who made the connection of science being rational and religion being irrational. I was merely pointing out that neither rational nor irrational bases can inform this issue. A position on this issue is strictly based on morality and philosophy. This contrasts starkly with other issues like climate change or tax policy where math and science can inform a more correct position.

Okay...I'm done feeding the troll :-)
Do you still need the costly intel compiler suite to run some C++ code on it?

Honestly they make it pretty hard to hack with as a device. It could succeed as a device if they let devs easily create cool applications with it.

Also, I found it frustrating. There were some totals that could not be reached (e.g. "14" where there was no 6 and no 9, and you can't use a 7 twice), so that city unfairly dies. I killed enough cities as it is via "Missile Command" over the years as it is.
> it was all about standard journalistic tricks to construct a narrative, have distinct characters and personalize the story. Obviously that sort of thing is more engaging to read

That sort of writing doesn't engage me at all. Too many articles begin with something "it was a foggy afternoon as Peter was waiting in line to buy ice cream", taking 5 paragraphs to first touch on the subject mentioned in the title, instead of just coming out with "Scientists recently confirmed that yum yum molecules can generate distinctive taste sensations depending on the amount and color temperature of the light they have been exposed to in the first few hours. This odd discovery began when scientist guy was hoping to grab some cones at his favourite ice cream Parlour in $city, etc. blah blah".

As you can tell, I'm not a writer. But I know the kind of writing I won't waste my time on, and the internet is full of.
Upvoting because I'm interested in the discussion of the ethics surrounding 'leaking' scientific papers out into the Web, not so much in this particular case itself but as a general sort of act.
