It is true and it would help to have a jury that has the technical background of the subject. On a note though unfortunately even with a jury like that, it doesn't resolve the problems for preferences and bias that someone can have. We still have "wars" over Go vs Scala or React vs Angular.
If this were true of human nature, we would not have creationism.
Does that mean a person in nutritional ketosis could die... ?

Background for others: Most people in keto are running on mostly fatty acids and some ketones (for the things that can't use fatty acids) and a small amount of glucose from gluconeogenesis for the obligate glucose tissues (retina, small percentage of brain, etc).

If you take away the ability to use fatty acids then you have to run off ketones, which should work, but I don't know if the body can make enough (and maybe that is impacted too?). And if your body is using gluconeogenesis to make your essential glucose from protein, and that is inhibited, I would think those tissues would be in trouble (its called essential glucose for a reason).
I understood that Lychee contains a chemical that prevents the body from "burning" fat and protein.

This would be bad for diabetics as low glucose levels can't be helped by burning fat.

And it's the opposite what dieters want, because fat doesn't burn.

I got the impression that the symptoms of the sick/dead children were not unlike a low glucose shock from diabetes once the sugar from the fruit had been consumed.

Perhaps there are other medical uses, but not these two cases.
That's precisely why the experts are asked their opinion. And a jury takes that opinion into account.

"Dr. Soandso, do you believe, based on your experience, that such an action would constitute a flagrant abuse? Of a kind that is unprecedented? And such an action would damage the reputation of many, you say? And were such an action to take place it would cause harm to the industry for decades?"

The jury needn't be an expert to make sound judgements. Expert witnesses do actually need to socially regarded as experts, and lawyers on both sides of this adversarial system should do everything they can to undermine those experts who are not impartial. And if each player in that system does their job well a layman should certainly be able to make a reasonably founded decision.

To be fair to all of us Americans, nationality, even when when you understand what the term means, is still a sloppy concept, with porous boundaries inviting people to contest any particular usage. And that's putting aside aside any (perfectly appropriate) metaphorical usage i.e. "nation of immigrants".

Anyway, hope that you find the definition useful going forward.. For example, the title "Birth of Nation" is clearer, even if the substance of the movie remains evil nonsense.

Parse Is Gone: Unpublished Details About Their Infrastructure
No wonder that Win10 fails like Win8 - Microsoft doesn't care about users, they only care about their shareholders. Win8 and Win10 looks like designed by color blind designers with a bad taste the brutalism of UI design plus the phone-home spyware features that cannot be deactivated. Windows 7 is too good and the perfect OS, if you don't install some recent spyware updates it will last at least until 2020 - and who knows if Android/Fuchsia or whatever OS is a proper alternative than.
Okay, that's fine as long as they are available and willing to move for something like $100,000. Doesn't have to be super close; requiring $100,000 to hire a foreign citizen when the market wage is $75,000 seems pretty reasonable to me.

> So you tolerate that a complete sex shall be punished for former sins.

You are not inoculated from the past sins of gender discrimination. So simply because you did not discriminate does not mean you did not benefit from past discrimination. While this fact should not be used to hold you accountable, it should be used to pursue policies that offset that advantage.

A company offering a program for girls is not punishing boys. It's giving girls a boost that was given to boys of previous generations.

Simply giving equal opportunity after decades (longer, really) of inequality is not truly equal. As an analogy, imagine if a government gave extremely preferential treatment to one company over another for an extended period of time (lower taxes, looser regulation, etc.) and all of the sudden started treating the two companies the same. Would you expect them to have an equal chance of success? Surely the accumulated benefits of the one company would still provide a significant advantage that would have to be remedied before the companies have an equal chance of success.

Edit: I realize I assumed you are male, which your comment does not state. Mea culpa. Read this comment as directed at any male who opposes policies that promote gender equality in STEM education.

He was the Dungeon Master in their Dungeons & Dragons games. John Romero loved Carmack's campaign world, but John Romero destroyed it, Opening up a gateway to hell, and then immediately regretted it (but they got the idea for Doom from it), since it was a long running campaign in a world completely designed by John Carmack. I think Heretic/Hexen and Quake also borrowed heavily from their D&D games. Masters of Doom is an awesome book.

It must be used with care though, otherwise you'll end up with so many holes in your policy that you defeat whole point of using SELinux in the first place. Definitely don't use the output directly.
That's the whole (original) point though. Historically, people would be taken away from people who had known them all their lives, be accused of something fantastical, and be condemned on the strength of he-said, she-said. In the specific case of the USA, a big complaint of colonists is that they would be whisked back to England for trial ("For depriving us in many cases, of the benefit of Trial by Jury: For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences:")

Peers are supposed to know you, your character, and your history. It's the only hope you have of being truly considered innocent until proven guilty. The default situation of a juror should be "I can't believe they did it; convince me", not "I have no idea". More important, if a jury starts at "I have no idea", they're realistically starting at "this person wouldn't be here if they hadn't done something; they're probably guilty".
>H1B abuse is more about hiring someone at near competitive wages and telling them they're working 60 hour weeks and slowly getting rid of native workers who won't stand for that.

If the native workers won't stand for it, the wages for it aren't actually "near competitive".
Actually it makes a lot of sense. You can have a deeply hierarchical conversation, with lots of back and forth and branching to separate threads - and yet which only contains two people.

I think the Google v. Oracle example actually cuts against your theory. In that case, the jury found non-infringement on the patent claims, and literal infringement of portions of the code and API. The real question in that case was a legal one: whether the structure and organization of APIs was copyrightable. On appeal, the federal circuit found that it was, and remanded for a determination on Google's fair use defense. Another jury then found that Google's incorporation of Oracle's API was fair use (and that is on appeal).

I'm not really sure how a jury of software developers would have changed the result.

And as a general matter, I'm wary of assertions that judges or juries would decide things differently if only they had "knowledge of the underlying subject matter." In Oracle v. Google, for example, the policy question was: does the fact that Google copied Oracle's API for interoperability purposes outweigh the fact that Google is making a profit by leveraging a platform Oracle built? The disagreement between the Federal Circuit and software developers did not have anything to do with knowledge of the subject matter. Everyone understood what an API was, etc. It had to do with values and priorities. "Interoperability" is something with a lot of value in the software field, but is more or less irrelevant to copyright. On the other hand, protecting authors from others profiting off their efforts is the primary value underlying copyright.
The issue with having experts on the jury is twofold:

- If they're experts in the field, they may have had enough interaction with the case in question (or the people involved in the case) to have formed an opinion without having heard any testimony

- Due to their expertise, the jury could decide "it's easier (more convenient, more likely to be correct, etc) to defer to the expert" and just vote whichever way the expert votes

By not having experts, everyone makes their own decisions on how to weight different pieces of evidence, and no one's opinion drowns out anyone else's (at least, any more than would have happened anyway with that particular jury).
In the short term maybe, but once our transportation is electric (and our electricity isn't coming from coal or gas), the difference in environmental impact is negligible. Some trees and a nice garden would provide the same environmental benefit to a city, and look nicer too.

There's no case to be made that there is any economic benefit to farming in the city. By all measures, it's much more expensive.

Similar here. Mac & Linux for work. Mac for home. I only keep Windows for gaming. In fact, I only recently upgraded to Windows 7 on my gaming computer. XP was working fine, but for DirectX 10 compatibility (baked into win7 and above, only) I had to upgrade. Were it not for this one "feature", I'd still be happily using XP.

But I've decided that this is the end of the line for me and Microsoft. They lost me forever due to the spyware / monitoring debacle of Win10. If ever there is a technological forced upgrade to 10, then I'm simply out of luck -- no more upgrades past 7. I'm done.
I think the sticking point here is that you're talking from a viewpoint of companies pressuring employees to convert from full-time to contract. I don't know if that happens, and it's not the viewpoint I'm talking from - I don't think a company should be able to pressure an employee to do anything outside of their employment agreement and there certainly isn't legal grounds for them to be able to enforce something like that. Harming legitimate contractors in an attempt to solve this issue by proxy is illogical.

I'm a big proponent of MOOCs, having participated in a few, and currently taking the Udacity Self-Driving Car Engineer Nanodegree (the others I took also revolved around ML).

That said, the thing that bugs me about them is how they may be perceived by a potential employer?

Granted, anyone can put on their resume/cv that they went to school x/y/z and gained a BA or MA; most employers probably don't even look at it. But a few probably do investigate further; and there is always the chance that a new employer might look into your stated background and find that, "No, you didn't graduate from XYZ, and oh, btw, you're fired."

Having that piece of documentation from an accredited school means something. Furthermore, if you have a certificate or something from another place that isn't recognized, it might be looked upon as a "diploma mill" certificate, not worth the paper it is printed on, so to speak.

This is why I support companies like Udacity and Coursera, because they might lend an air of legitimacy to their certificates (much like the various Microsoft and Cisco certs), to help prove to potential employers that you are the "real deal". That's not to say that Course Buffet can't do the same (and honestly, there's a lot still needed to be done to communicate to employers that these MOOC offering do have merit) - but right now, outside of having an extensive project portfolio and some other measures of demonstrating to the employer, there isn't many ways to convey to them that "Yes, I have a level of knowledge equivalent to a BA in CompSci."

Ultimately, as always and regardless of your degree (or not), it all comes down to how you sell yourself to the employer. Still - if it comes down to two people who have convinced the employer to consider them for hiring, it might just come down to who has the "actual" degree - the guy with a known institution on that piece of paper, or the guy with a random PDF certificate (or 20) from random online sites?

This is an unfortunate bias in our educational and employment system, and it is going to be a difficult one for MOOCs to overcome - but I do hope it happens, because frankly, college education, despite its certain advantages, is very expensive (and some would say overpriced). Not to mention its structure and student-body makeup, being naturally skewed toward a younger student population, tends to turn away an older population who may want to seek a degree in their later years, but don't want to feel out of place.

MOOCs can fill that role, but there are a lot of prejudices and assumptions that need to be overcome in the meantime to get employers to understand their value.
Just fix fucking font rendering, I did use Windows machine as my workstation for 4 year (although being in love with linux), But I had to switch to Ubuntu, because of ridiculous font rendering. I don't have money to pay for new monitor every 2 year, and I am quite happy with my dual monitor 27 inch 1080p until windows 10 changed font rendering to DirectWrite. It is fucking disaster in low dpi monitor.

As always Microsoft ignored their current users in pursue of new users. I haven't seen this attitude from any other company. I haven't seen apple make font rendering on old MacBook worse to force people to switch to new MacBooks. Or I haven't seen something similar from Google.

This is fucking total disaster.

As someone who reads text for whole day (programmer) I care about my eyes and it fucking hurts my eye to see font rendering in new UI (UWP) and Edge.

p.s. Old/win32 application do use old rendering engine and are acceptable.
A couple things.

1) Not all computer scientist are security experts.

2) The security experts came to the conclusion that hardening the system to the point where you could depend on its integrity (and the system still be widely usable) wasn't feasible.

3) Making one process manual in order to protect the outcome != giving up on technology and becoming a luddite.

We only every needed technology to make sure ballots get encoded correctly.

We could do that with open source software, commodity PCs and card punch machines and readers.

Then validating that your choices were encoded correctly would be easier. So would counting.

You could count at the voting location to get fast results and recount once the ballots arrive at the central office to confirm that the reported count was correct.

You could keep the initial counts at the polling place. Then later compare those numbers with the second count's to confirm that nothing happened to the ballots.

You also should have a unique number on each ballot that you can later use to look up how your ballot was recorded.

None of this should require advanced technology, new inventions or secrecy.

Anonymous functions in Erlang are lambda-lifted into named functions during compilation (during Core Erlang -> Kernel Erlang transformation IIRC). So there isn't much difference in terms of the final representation.

Erlang's compiler will do some inlining but it tends to be done at very specific points in time so lambda lifting might be done after the inline passes. I believe the lists module gets inlined most of the time though so I bet a lot of the lambda forms end up with very similar output when compared to hand-rolled recursive calls.

The real overhead comes with allocation of the "closure" state. There isn't much of any optimization to keep this in BEAM registers when the function call isn't inlined... but I might be wrong. It's been awhile since I've compared internal representations between different forms.

If you're curious, I'd be happy to provide some pointers on how to dig into these intermediate forms.
