Though it may be "like" fraud, lying to the public/media is not criminal. So, if that's the charge, she should not be in jail.

Perhaps she misrepresented facts to investors, but that seems extremely hard to prove to a criminal extent.

Theranos may have also misrepresented facts to regulatory agencies. However, my guess is that the CEO of an organization that lies to a regulatory agency can't be held accountable to a criminal extent.

Would be genuinely curious to hear a solid case for her to be put in prison backed by facts.

Assuming a game with square tiles and vector movement:

All shortest paths are either a straight line, or consist of the straight line from the original location to an outside corner, a series of straight lines between outside corners, and a straight line from an outside corner to the destination. (An outside corner is any 2x2 square with three walkable and one wall tile.)

You can easily find all the outside corners. You can find which pairs of outside corners can be walked between using N^2 ray casts. Once you've done that, you can detect when an outside corner has been removed and drop it from the map, or detect when one has been created and perform N ray casts to add it to your pathing list.

Running A* on the resulting structure is really fast, because it's smaller and more connected than a tile list. The slowest remaining part is finding the corners immediately reachable from your start/end points, which I think could also be sped up but I'd benchmark it before worrying about that.
What do you mean, that men can't grasp "emotion?" Taken at face value I really resent that conclusion.

The ability to implement linked lists != pointers and references

Behind the scene, yes, every Python variable is a reference to an object. It's not addressable, however, and in the case of immutable objects (like strings), you can't modify the underlying object and keep all references pointed at that updated object.

Something to keep in mind is that for space exploration, all that really matters is achieving low earth orbit (LEO). After that, ion engines/solar sails/space tethers, all manner or propulsion can get us out to further reaches. But it takes dedicated engineering to build craft powerful enough to get through the atmosphere with only a small fraction of mass going to engine and airframe.

The cost of fuel is generally pretty negligible compared to the cost of spacecraft. Even 1,000,000 pounds of kerosene only costs about $500,000 ($3 per gallon at 7 pounds per gallon). I'm having trouble finding current prices on liquid oxygen but it looks like about 15 cents per pound, so a 2.56:1 ox:fuel ratio gives $384,000 for 2,560,000 pounds of oxygen. (500,000 + 384,000)/(1,000,000 + 2,560,000) = 25 cents per pound of fuel+oxidizer (honestly I have to saw wow here, as this is much lower than I expected). If a shuttle launch cost $1 billion, less than $1 million went to fuel at 2017 prices (assuming that more expensive liquid hydrogen and less expensive booster solid fuel roughly match the cost of ox-kerosene). Another way of saying this is that the design tradeoffs of the shuttle cost 100 to 1000 times more than other designs might have (mainly due to reusing the orbiter rather than the first stages). A lot of people knew this in the late 70s and warned about it, but due to political reasons NASA went with the more expensive shuttle system and now here we are.

My guess is that from here on, SpaceX will do incremental launches, using a rocket to carry a stage to LEO and then assemble those stages in orbit into new rockets to go further out, landing the first stages to reuse them. This is scalable all the way out to Mars and further, which is pretty remarkable and obvious in hindsight. It wasn't until I considered how one would land a stage on Mars with such a thin atmosphere that I realized why SpaceX has been so committed to retrorocket landing.

> Until one day, the dongle broke (a bump by the cleaning staff cracked it apparently). The company behind the software went bankrupt years ago, and there was no way to either obtain a new dongle or extract the data from the software (custom db as well).

I have seen similar things happen, some proprietary data analysis framework from the 90s relying on hw dongle (from a company busted years ago) used in research lab. Talk about reproducible results, when you wouldn't even be able to reproduce it yourself when it breaks, I wonder how these people think. I guess their cancer research isn't very important so...
> One solution is to have trusted friends in other jurisdictions, who can activate the number for you when needed.

If you have a trusted friend in an independent jurisdiction, the whole complicated dance with burner phones and so on becomes unnecessary. Just have the trusted friend create the account for you and hand you the password.
One thing I don't understand is how many people in this thread think that the US civil service has only just now been politicised by that mean ol' Trump. As a non-US civil servant, I hate to break it to you, but your federal civil service has been absurdly politicised for as long as I remember.

If it's any consolation, the same has happened where I live (Australia). Perhaps there are aspects of the US political system that make this less of a problem (e.g. full separation of powers), I don't know. But at least in Australia's (and probably Canada's) case, politicisation of the public service is disastrous. Unfortunately this seems to be lost on many (including public servants). I'm convinced that governments with Westminster style systems cannot properly function without an independent public service.

To be clear, when I say 'independent', I mean only in the way the public service advises the currently elected government (i.e. without considering politics or the Minister's assumed personal preferences, and only giving advice on the grounds of policy merit). The phrase used in Australia (but not often put into operation, unfortunately) is 'frank and fearless'. However, only the elected government should make policy decisions, as they are the only ones with a democratic mandate. Once they have made a decision, the public service has a duty to implement them as best they can, regardless of whether they agree or not (or whether they advised otherwise).

A Bayer filter doesn't give you single wavelengths they have a broad, somewhat overlapping spectrum. An LED display on the other hand has three distinct narrow bands.

I'm not sure how their inverse algorithm could work, but I have a feeling it should be possible to get more than three points of the spectrum by displaying multiple light patterns.

Regarding full-spectrum ambient light: they can't use it at all because they have to subtract it from the images. You can only recover spectral information from the light you control. At least that's what I'm thinking right now.

> As soon as you power on your burner phone, it will connect to cell phone towers, and the phone company will know your location. So, don’t activate your phone, or keep it powered on at all, at your home or office — instead, go to a public place, like a coffee shop, before activating your new phone. Keep it powered off while you’re not using it.

Actually, don't go to a coffee-shop, either. They might have security cameras that can record you, that police can use to find out who you are.

Here's the thing: If you had ever taken even a few minutes to sit down with women who work in our industry and asked them if anything like this has ever happened to them you would learn it is extremely common. You would also learn that women rarely get the benefit of the doubt in these situations and are often punished or eventually forced out of the company. Women don't talk about it because jerks immediately start screaming "WHERES THE EVIDENCE?!?!?!?!". As far as anyone can tell she has no interest in pursuing a legal case; in that sense this is just like the NFL national anthem controversy. No matter how blandly and inoffensively someone behaves there will be assholes at the ready to condemn them for speaking out about anything in any form whatsoever. Susan kept her head down, tried to do good work, then left for another job. She has made the absolutely minimum of an issue out of this as it is possible to make.

Try this thought experiment: assume the original story was written by a man and was identical except for the sexual harassment part. The same tales of toxic work culture. The same stories about managers protecting fiefdoms, undermining each other, and withholding information. The same story about being denied a transfer so this person could serve as a "feather in the cap" of the manager denying the transfer. Would you still be out here claiming it is the end of civil society that everyone isn't demanding evidence before rushing to judgement?

Hint: we've had these kinds of stories show up before with male authors and the answer is no, people aren't so demanding. Only people who experience sexual harassment are held to this double-standard.

Nothing about what Susan posted seems far-fetched or out of the ordinary. HR exists to protect the company from you, not to help you or ensure justice is served. Telling people this is someone's first offense is likely to diffuse the situation and ensure no one files any pesky complaints with commissions nor hires a lawyer. Playing games with performance reviews is par for the course. Anyone who complains is viewed as a troublemaker. This happens on a daily basis in most companies in the USA.

Of course I don't believe you (or the rest of your compatriots) posting here are acting in good faith. If she shared screenshots and emails you'd just claim they were faked. How exactly she is supposed to gather evidence (when CA is a two-party state, so recording the conversations secretly would be illegal) is never explained.

One thing's certain: The "Fat Acceptance" movement is killing people.
What I was really confused though, as this doesn't use a grating etc. is how it obtains a spectra.

Like with a grating I can see how you can obtain a spectral pattern for many wavelengths, but with a bayer array, surely you can only distinguish R, G, B.

Would I be right though in thinking, if there's no stray light and only the light from the phone screen shining on the apple, you can cycle through many wavelengths of light, enabling you to measure the reflected light to determine the spectra.

One thing I was wondering so pesticides can presumably also be detected using visible light spectroscopy then?
If only your comments were skeptical.
smhost said that her actions became "irrational when she decided to stay" after her initial interactions with HR turned out so badly. My point was that we have no idea why she stayed, nor is it even remotely relevant.

People who say "Well I would have left" when they hear a story of abuse are missing the point entirely. By focusing on what they would have done in the victim's place, they're re-framing the event as somehow the victim's choice and thus, at least partially the victim's fault.

That is a form of victim blaming. Full stop.

Focus on the abuse. Leave the victim out of it. Without context, you can't know what you'd do in the same situation. As I noted, if I -- a white, well-to-do male with no debts and no professional entanglements -- suffered that type of abuse, I would have left. But that's irrelevant, because she's not me. To say that she should have left, or that she was "irrational" for not doing so is to make a mountain of assumptions about her situation.

As noted in TFA, she was young, on a sponsored scholarship, and in the middle of writing a book. To switch jobs immediately could have had lasting career implications, cost her an education, and ruined her ability to finish the book. Surely those considerations weighed on her decision to stick it out.

Without insight into her personal affairs, we can't know how much pressure she felt to stay in the job in spite of the abusive environment. Ultimately, whether she left or not is totally immaterial.
Traffic violations now count as "criminal record"? According to what definition of "criminal"?

Daniel Kahneman on entrepreneurial biases
The breast cancer movement was started because at the time, male-only cancers (such as prostate and testicular cancers) were getting far more funding and research, while breast cancer was essentially being ignored despite being at least an order of magnitude more common.

That it's more common has probably made it easier to do research on once it gained sufficient visibility and funding.
The biggest problem is: where is the money going to come from?

Even if you guarantee a rate of return, somebody still needs to finance the buildout.

This isn't correct, if it was this would be a much bigger issue. I'd be quite surprised if this affects any code in the wild.

This bug is related to the compiler deciding to optimize the loop. All modifications of variables in the loop are being batched till the loop exits, but it never exits therefore none of the modifications ever happen. In most cases this would be fine as the side-effects of modifying the variables in the loop wouldn't need to visible anywhere else until the loop exited.

If you remove the loop and just modify the atomic variable once, the modification is eventually happens and is seen by the second go routine.
I'm not convinced it would be considered an eating disorder if you are physically healthy and fit, socially normal, and emotionally healthy (since the desire to fast isn't triggered by some crazy desire for weight loss but instead to achieve the supposed health benefits that fasting invokes)
The first chart is a good example of why a pie chart is usually not the correct choice for data visualization. Pie charts are usually quite hard to read, but this one is particularly bad as it has an animation looping through different years' data; it's impossible to discern the actual trends at a glance.

Much better would be a simple line graph with the trends for each series. More fancy, and perhaps a slightly better way to emphasize the narrative of the article, would be plotting the relative change from the first year (2007) for each series.
