I didn't say that it was simple, just that there is a relationship there (however attenuated) that's lacking in the other case.
It's a question of balancing the tradeoffs of sensor size. For most photographers, the sweet spot is somewhere between APS-C and full frame. M4/3 isn't the ideal format, but it's a useful format.

The Olympus E-M1 MkII is fairly competitive with APS-C sensors, but you get significantly more reach. For most photographers, that extra reach is neither here nor there. The extra depth of field of a smaller sensor is more hindrance than help in a lot of cases. If you're a wildlife photographer who normally shoots with very long lenses, it's a compelling advantage.
Does anyone know how the X-inactivation thing works with the popular explanation for why women are less likely to be color-blind than men (ie: They have two copies of the gene for sensitivity to light of that wavelength, so both copies must be mutated in order to be insensitive)?

I'm not even sure the change was required at all. Actually checking it with 'git blame' the only thing modified was a WorkingDirectory, which didn't change between versions, just wasn't set the first time around.

If someone released smallpox in NYC, it would be reasonable to quarantine the state (at the very least). There would be no argument about the government taking action to prevent the spread of virtually any pathogen, even the more pedestrian like multiple drug resistant TB.

People loose sight of reality when they think pure choice is involved though. Food, smoking, drugs... a lot of things only make sense if you're particularly educated, have friends/family struggling with something, are particularly empathetic, or have experienced them.
We apparently just disagree about what I am assuming to be a right: People to have just and fair competition in a law-abiding marketplace. In a marketplace, people get to choose with their dollars which goods and services they want the most. In socialist or an authoritarian regimes, a government decides for you what you need, who gets it, who gets the profits, but they make you pay for it.

Whether they use their citizens wealth to produce Wars on Drugs, ski resorts or office buildings is up to them. While I'd rather they produce ski resorts or office buildings, the idea that a government needs to intervene in order to develop any of those is ridiculous.

>Sorry that government ownership of anything but a global war machine seems to offend you.

That is not fair, and it's insulting. Nowhere did I say I support war.
Who decides what the "national interests" are? Are there even such things?

One thing I know: the things politicians and talking heads in the media often bandy about as being "in the national interest" aren't things in my interest.

Things like waging war on countries that didn't attack the US. Or waging the War on Drugs. Or bailing out the banks. Or the US alliances with certain dictatorial states and human rights abusers. Fuck that. I'm not interested in that. I don't think these benefit the US either.

People bandy about the term "national interest" as if it's some kind of objective standard which we all agree on. But that completely ignores the many diverse and often conflicting interests of the hundreds of millions of people who are the citizens of the United States.

What these so-called "national interests" really are are the interests of those in power. That's why the things I say are in the national interest don't matter, but the things they say are in the national interest do.

So I'm not sure how useful it is to judge the actions of the "deep state" members by whether they're serving the "national interest". That's letting them make the rules to their own game.
This is a personal anecdote, but I went through about 10 years where I was getting colds and flu-like symptoms several times each year. I did a 72hr fast almost three years ago now, and have only been stay-home sick once since, which happened just a few weeks ago. Friends and family have commented on my health, the difference was so noticeable. I am planning on doing it again soon.

Interestingly, I stored my bone marrow stem cells during this stretch of good health, which includes the long-term hematopoietic stem cells mentioned. I plan to transplant them to my older self later in life. I hope the benefits transfer as well. :)

I still get SEO 'experts' giving reports on sites I've worked on that claim that skipping from a h1 to a h3 without an intervening h2 will cause lower Google rankings. If this is actually true then I truly despair of this life. But I strongly suspect it's the fact that the SEO community seems to only learn new factoids and never discards old ones.
I agree and I almost hesitated to put that in there. I bought from AAA batteries on Amazon recently and it was an add-on item. I would have gladly paid to have them shipped, but I was not given that option. Instead I hit the "subscribe and save: button, placed my order, then canceled the subscription at no cost.

To be completely honest, I have no idea how their "add on" program actually works. That's just the excuse they give on their site.
I had one that the first 6 numbers would cook for that many minutes, and the "start" button usually acted as an "add 30 seconds" button. You could also program a time, but like you, I almost never did that (mostly just if I was using the timer mode, which didn't have the same quick shortcuts).
I don't see how you could look at what happened and how it was systematically brushed under the rug, then at what has happened since the article was published, and come to the conclusion that anything BUT outrage would drive a change at this company.

Don't think any of those websites were taken offline. There are always going to be other channels for those news sites to flourish.

You can resist. You can use a different search engine. You can use other resources to get information out there. There is a myriad of different options. They're not all 'easy', but they're not impractical either.

I'm failing to see how this is going to be an "approved web".
I didn't believe it either until I went and looked at the data (see my other comment). Rates are basically flat for most cancer for the last 50-100 years. Compared with any other chronic disease survivability over the same time, it's insane.

I may regret commenting in my real name, but I still have a vestige of belief in open opposition. For now, though, I cannot enter the US without giving my Facebook password. I have no doubts that as the new government settles in, it will up the ante on everything which could be construed as active opposition. This IS a fascist regime. It just hasn’t gotten hold of its true tools yet.

Exploit database error to leak users table informations ( writeup )
So if I understand this story correctly, the .xyz site robots have baited APDIF robots into filing complaints to googles robots which in turn block .xyz sites URLs? For what purpose? Is is just to promote their site? Or is it so that .xyz can now sue Google for removing their URLS without doing their due diligence based on future losses? Very interesting concept, might this be an early example of machine warfare?
As an MD, and therefore looking at that from the other side of the fence, I totally agree. Medical research as a field has become profoundly dishonest since the "publish or perish" principle has become the rule also applied to clinical hierarchical advancement.

People with no scientific education (and clinical medicine is definitely not science) should be forbidden to lead scientific projects!
Probably. Strange that it disappeared from the frontpage.

Hi, I was interested in what the crossed out lines represent?
That is surprising. I pulled a number out of my ass with no basis in reality, so that $150k I quoted was completely made up. But yeah, $2500 for a container is actually really low.
Were you there when the alleged facts happened? If not, it is definitely he-said-she-said. It is probable that things happened as Fowler claims, but we have no way of knowing without evidence. The article mentions the facts, which are basically who said what, since neither side has shared any evidence. Personally I'm not going to pass judgment either way without knowing more, but this is definitely going into my something-fishy-over-there file.

I think a lot of the torrent clients already have search built in. Personally, I hope these anti-piracy measures just push stuff underground and people could just organize sneaker-net lan-parties to share content, or allow poor people to sell bootleg HDD's on the street corner just like they used to sell pirated DVD's. This day and age you can buy 30-50 terabyte NAS systems for ~1-2k. Rather than try to find a particular album, show, or movie, it's more economical to just take all of them.
Cool project, thanks!
Completely agree. I read that line twice when I read the article. It applies to so many things.

If no name yet let's call it _Archibald's Rule_. I met Jake at a conf and he is a solid yet approachable guy (and funny too).
At my last job, we asked two simple questions and many "senior developers" couldn't get them:

1. Write a function that determines if a number is prime. If they didn't know what a prime number was, we would tell them.

2. A simple problem that required designing a database schema and sql query that involved a left outer join.

There were a lot of developers who couldn't do it.

On the other hand, there was one developer who was just learning c#, who had spent most of his time doing VB.net, couldn't answer a lot of the technical questions but we could tell by his thought process and how he explained real world problems he solved that he would be a great asset to the company. We fought for him over more "senior" developers.

When I have a chance to hire again, I'm going to fight to get him -- even though he sucks at interviewing and i might have to do a little convincing.
True distribution is not what they where using. They assumed the dice had zero bias which is never true for any physical system.

I can say this is a dice and therefore it should have distribution X in theory. But, that does not mean it's actual distribution is X without testing. Further, even after testing nothing says the distribution will be unchanged.

Note: The above seem pedantic, but it has significant real world implications.
This is the solution, right? You get someone else to buy the phone for you. This necessarily will practically speaking be probably be someone who knows you, but it adds a layer of indirection.

The unregulated pharmaceuticals distribution market relies on burner phones and seems pretty solid despite effectively continuous attempts to conduct surveillance on them.
As much as I hate dealing with remote license servers. Not changing for 35 years just sounds ridiculous. I don't want to hear about all your old libraries, and part catalogs. The engineers at the company I work for do this all day, and we've upgraded probably seven major versions since I've started. Every company we purchase, and incorporate, they move their competing product libraries over to ours.

What kind of hardware could that guy possible be using to run that at this point? There is being stuck in your ways, and then there is being STUCK in your ways.

I would guess that would be the case for the most part these days... I don't think I'd want to use a modern OS on a spinning drive, at least for the OS/swap. Of course, linux (ubuntu) has its' own issues, like the 80+gb ~/.cache/upstart/unity.7.log file filling up the ssd every couple days (still haven't caught it when not full to be able to dig into, annoying all the same).

Though worst from MS on spinning drives has to be using Visual Studio on a web project (or node dev for that matter)... it's painful.
This is an interesting challenge, I'm building something similar for public transport, and the latency in updates tends to make things bad.

On browsers I'm using turf.js to calculate movements and then animate them. I calculate where the bus/train is likely to be in the next 30 seconds, and then send that data through to the user. Then I keep updating the vehicle marker frequently until that 30 seconds time out, or until another update comes in.

I'm struggling to do the same on Android because I haven't found a good turf.js equivalent there.
I have a superzoom myself, and I'm not surprised at this. I guess you saw not just the difference in optical resolution, but particularly in hazy conditions, that the much larger front aperture on your 800mm prime means is "averaging out" blur from haze and air motion to a much greater extent, giving in total a much higher clarity.

In the middle of a hot summer day, the 800mm end on my superzoom is near-useless, but at or after sunset it's much better. Still very noticeable difference from your 800mm prime, I guess, but less so than at midday.
I didn't mean "look down upon ... workable .. procedures with good performance." I meant a more commonsense sort of "private Bayesianism", where you maintain a healthy skepticism of things that have always failed before, and a healthy reliance on things that have always worked before, even when public scientific discourse purports to show you very strong non-Bayesian evidence.

For example, back in my MSc days, I would run a whole lot of metrics on our dataset, and look for patterns. Sometimes I would find a strong, interesting pattern, and go try to tell my advisor about it. He would ask me to double-check my code for bugs, rerun things, and see if the pattern was still there. Often, it wasn't.

My advisor was nobody's Bayesian, a frequentist (and even a user of purely descriptive statistics, oftentimes) through and through.

So to me, "Bayesian on the inside" ends up meaning, "at least Bayesian enough to look for experimental errors." This attitude has helped me a lot in debugging difficult snafus in industry, too.
Why not both? The more side work you do, the more extra income you can earn. The more you learn, the more marketable skills you'll have to offer your clients?

I don't think it's an either/or proposition. I think it's a both/and...

This has proven to work very well for me.

I had a day job. I also had side work. One of my side customers asked me to come on with their org as a full-time employee. Instead, I started a company - and they are my biggest customer.
I'm the type of person who can lose hours reading stories on sites like Jargon File, Folklore.org, Raymond Chen's blog about MS internals, and even more modern internet history stories.

It used to be that if one's favoured candidate didn't get elected, people would wish the winning candidate the best and rally behind them. At this point a lot of the public has become so invested in having their worldview validated that they are wishing for something bad to happen out of sheer lust for vindication. The other day I saw a website called hillarybeattrump.org where people have created a pretend universe where Hillary won the election and have written full fledged fan fiction about it. Just seems a little over the top.
Yeah unfortunately NYT mixed the 2 to try to get sympathy for Pao and paint a broader gender issue within SV. These 2 cases are quite far apart.

> X-linked recessive traits are expressed in all heterogametics, but are only expressed in those homogametics that are homozygous for the recessive allele. For example, an X-linked recessive allele in humans causes haemophilia, which is much more common in males than females because they are hemizygous (see zygosity) and therefore express the trait when they inherit one mutant allele. In contrast, a female must inherit two mutant alleles, a less frequent event since the mutant allele is rare in the population.

Any coffee addict like me knows that some methods of brewing are impossible before you've had a cup. The AeroPress understands this and is really simple to use, and makes amazing coffee.

Hi! The crossed-out costs are ones we no longer use. We either no longer needed that service, or we found a better alternative.
First, they came for the hackers.

Yes, I am a criminal. My crime is that of curiosity. My crime is that of judging people by what they say and think, not what they look like. My crime is that of outsmarting you, something that you will never forgive me for. - The Mentor, The Hacker Manifesto (1986)

The internet and the hacker community, much like New Zealand, were built on sharing, which we know to be a net good. Despite character failings and profiteering - the political ramifications of Mega clearly gave Kim an enjoyment that many of us (especially those of us living in or exposed to the developing world, or who made our start in computing through piracy) can and should empathise with, which clearly demonstrates that his motivation exceeded that of profit. I would argue, therefore, that Kim is one of us, and that we owe him our heartfelt - if conditional - support.

While Kim - like many of us - is certainly a fallible and occasionally (quaintly) antagonistic character, if humans are to stand any chance of solving the more pressing issues of the planet what we need is transparency and legitimate cross-border community, not "with-us-or-against-us" rhetoric out of the 1950s (via the cold war). Despite the international media saga of Kim vs. USA, Kim fundamentally wins hands down on the big picture (eg. not wielding an army of drone-assassins with a stated 'whole planet, intra-minutes death-dealing' goal, not producing and exporting torture equipment, etc...). The whole MPAA/US argument basically rests on the allegation of lost profits... as if commercial exploitation of the entire planet's population is some kind of global, monocultural, border-free given. Frankly I don't know what's more offensive: the assumption, or the methodology.

I'm more willing to risk imprisonment (or any other negative outcome) personally than I am willing to risk the curtailment of my intellectual freedom and that of those around me who I care for equally as I do for myself. - Edward Snowden, NSA whistleblower

Whatever you choose to do, some subset of the team will end up being left out. Some of my team occasionally go out for a drink+meal. Usually when some remote workers are in town for the day, and we go out after work. Yes, it excludes people with families/other commitments. But lots of other activities would exclude exactly the same people; you can't force the whole team to be sociable after work hours.

We do these things:

1) We don't make any decisions when team members are missing; they have to be done during work hours when everyone is able to participate
2) There's no obligation to drink (why would there be?); several of the team don't drink, and there is no pressure to do so, they get soft drinks/tea/coffee/whatever they like

As someone who is very shy and introverted, it's one of the few times I actually go out socially, and it's a time to unwind and have a chat with your coworkers and associated friends/partners/family. I don't think doing this has any negative impact upon the rest of the team, so long as you don't do any serious discussion and decision making which excludes others.
