Since there are a lot of "fasters" here, let me ask something. I'd like to create a fasting habit just to experiment, but can't understand how that's even possible when working out on gym daily. I'm not skinny and have lots of fat to burn, but I think my muscles would catabolyze as soon as I fail one meal. Am I missing something about fasting?
>A good mirrorless could take most of these shots as well, though I suspect by the time you installed a lens long enough for the wildlife shots[1], it wouldn't be much lighter than the DSLR.

To sue you need to articulate some form of damages. Im not sure a no-traffic website can do that. This isnt much different than the dozens if spam emails i get from "banks". Sure, what they are doing is fraud, but that doesnt mean i have grounds for a lawsuit without me first falling for the con.
Which Democrats publicly stated that the election was stolen? And do they represent the party or its opinion writ large? Sec. Clinton notably asserted that the election was legitimate.

Note that many prominent Republicans also agree that Russian interference in the U.S. campaign is unacceptable while asserting that the election results stand.

From my understanding of Russian strategy, they generally don't invest too deeply in any given potential regime. They invest lightly all across the political extremes in Western countries, and then see what crops up. If they like it, they invest more heavily.

I'm sure you're right in this case, but I wonder if it would be possible for an 'optimal' algorithm, where the optimality is in terms of high-level operations like compares required, to be out-performed by a non-optimal algorithm due to practical considerations such as cache utilisation. An order of magnitude more loads but in a cache oblivious pattern could be a win compared to a pathological pattern.

> They're not censoring content that you are able to access legitimately.

I think you meant "They're not censoring content that you aren't able to access legitimately".

This is bullshit. There are a lot of things you can't buy (especially in smaller countries) but which are available on pirate sites. Heck, you can't even watch Netflix own shows in some countries using Netflix because Netflix geoblocked them.
Hopefully you're still interested in your question, because I'm afraid you really haven't gotten much of an answer.

Assuming you're in the US or Western Europe, you need to recognize that societal collapse wouldn't look like the middle East or Venezuela, where things are a fishbowl of chaos in a stable world. In the US, just-in-time logistics means we're fragile to the point where a week of trucks not making deliveries might be sufficient to stall out the country so it can't start again. Grocery stores have minimal extra stock, but we can work around that. Vehicle repair businesses can't sustain operations for even a week before they run short on parts. Parts start breaking down and people don't show up for work, and now your power plants aren't working. From there, you need to hope there's someone who can swoop in to save our asses, because with broken down vehicles, depleted gas stations, no electric grid, and all the societal chaos that ensues, we won't be self-starting ourselves. Maybe, just MAYBE, we could plug vital electric loads into aircraft carriers and submarines long enough to restore order, but it's a race against time, because there are plenty of vital components that could go at any time.

Science would proceed in a different direction, with agriculture and botany and did preservation and hunting and animal domestication being the fields where advances are made. Backing up Wikipedia might work for a decade, if your computer and storage media hold out, and if you can defend your windmill/PV panels from armed looters, and if you have the necessary hardware to make necessary repairs to wear components. But you'll probably have more pressing matters, like eating.

And it's a long climb back from the bottom. A lot of our important industries require extreme precision and tolerate few or no material defects. In modern America, fighting off complacency to preserve top notch supply chains is no small feat. If people are worried about the next meal for anyone in their family, you can forget about all that. And then we get to the uncomfortable reality that we may not be able to sustain quite so many billion people without mechanized farming and engineered crops.

There will always be science and education, but it's hard, when living in a stable society, to recognize just how expensive it is to take large numbers of your smartest and most capable people, and allow them to produce nothing that can be utilized right now, because they're investing their time in very abstract things that may pay off in future decades. That's why smart kids from poor families so often don't go to college, too.

Funny how the "proper" first example still has a lot of things to be addressed, like the fact that it has a magic number (7) coming from nowhere, which is duplicated a few times as well.

It would be way less error-prone to calculate the number of elements using sizeof, for instance. This would also make the function independent of the type (a template could be used), thus reusable in another contexts.
The joint statement is at [1]. It starts: The U.S. Intelligence Community (USIC) is confident that the Russian Government directed the recent compromises of e-mails from US persons and institutions, including from US political organizations.

The USIC[2] is The United States Intelligence Community (IC)[1] is a federation of 16 separate United States government agencies that work separately and together to conduct intelligence activities considered necessary for the conduct of foreign relations and national security of the United States...The IC is headed by the Director of National Intelligence (DNI), who reports to the President of the United States.

The full report is [3]. That is also from the DNI (see above), which represents those 16 agencies.

The key judgements from that are:

We assess Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered an influence campaign in 2016 aimed at the US
presidential election. Russia’s goals were to undermine public faith in the US democratic process,
denigrate Secretary Clinton, and harm her electability and potential presidency. We further assess
Putin and the Russian Government developed a clear preference for President-elect Trump. We
have high confidence in these judgments.

and

We also assess Putin and the Russian Government aspired to help President-elect Trump’s
election chances when possible by discrediting Secretary Clinton and publicly contrasting her
unfavorably to him. All three agencies agree with this judgment. CIA and FBI have high confidence
in this judgment; NSA has moderate confidence.

So it is 16, not 15. But the media reports I saw said 16 anyway. It's true that the NSA had moderate confidence in one of the judgements, but all agencies had high confidence in the "Russia interfered" judgement.

It is also inaccurate to say "moderate" means 60%. That would correspond to a likelihood of a forecast of "Probable", but confidence is a different scale.

Moderate Confidence actually means: "credibly sourced and plausible information, but not of sufficient quality or corroboration to warrant a higher level of confidence."

Those who find connecting quantum mechanics and the brain repulsive should check out Quantum Cognition https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum Cognition.

For some reason the mathematics of QM is extremely good at explaining counter intuitive phenomena that classical probability theory cannot (necker cube is a good example, where the mental state can be said to be in a superposition of the two cube orientations).

Mind you, this doesn't say anything about the actual mechanism. It could or couldn't be quantum but we'll never know if we just shrug the entire thing off as crackpottery.

I get that this is a caricature, an exaggeration of reality that's trying to convey some bad practices. It must be incredibly frustrating to be on the receiving end of an interview this bad! But I'm not sure all of this plays particularly well, and I want to push back a little bit.

For context here, I'm a college dropout. I made it through two years before I discovered that I could skip right to having a job, and for where I was in life, it was the right decision for me. But seriously, what's the deal with this hatred of "Big O" notation?

This isn't some cryptic language only for use by CS PhDs. It's not even a concept that's hard to explain to someone who isn't in our industry!

"The question we're trying to answer here is, how does our solution scale as the problem gets bigger? Are we able to solve it in the same amount of time regardless of size? Does our solution take more time as the problem gets bigger, but only in proportion to how much bigger the problem is? Or does our solution take much, much longer as the problem gets bigger, to the point where it's no longer feasible to solve?"

Asking a candidate to be able to have a conversation about this -- how do time and space complexity scale -- is not unreasonable. This is the difference between designing a workable solution early, and discovering that what worked great in a unit test and some one offs behind the scenes fell over in production.

Similarly, I see no problem in expecting a candidate to have some familiarity with the basics of simple data structures. I don't generally rewrite them either! But I use data structures all the time, exposed to me via the standard libraries of programming languages that I use, and if I don't broadly understand how they work, when they are appropriate and when they're not, and when one choice is superior to another, I'm not doing my job.

I agree that in a lot of instances, Google is the answer. But Google is of no help if you don't know what to ask, or worse, if you don't even understand that there's a question to ask.

I'm not defending the truly awful interviews that I believe really do happen. But let's not pretend that it's not important to understand how these details work to get proficient, or even adequate, at our jobs.

> by watering the subject down

<RANT>

I think it's a false premise that the subject is hard in the first place. Why is it hard ? Because you have to get the "right answer" on your test/homework. Ok, but why do you have to get the "right answer" ? Why do I get zero points for a problem when I put 0.33 and the answer was 0.145 ? That is utterly ridiculous. Why are we using logical AND on all a problems steps ? Oh, you made one mistake, no points for you!

And before someone brings up "partial credit", That's myth that meant "pity points", not "9/10 points, minus one because you f-ed up your algebra or minus sign". You should be tested on the process of solving a problem, not whether you got 0.33 as your final answer. In the real world, even if you do exactly what the book says(!) you won't get 0.33. Your measuring apparatus wont be calibrated, there will be noise, other sampling errors, defects in materials, etc. If you start the test out with this bullshit premise that IF( ANSWER == 0.33 ) THEN grade='a'; then you're not testing them on physics, you're testing them on how detail oriented they are and how well they can concentrate without making a mistake (like the Japanese show "Unbeatable Banzuki"). If that's your class, then call the class "Following Detailed Processes I" or "Doing N steps without ever making a mistake II", dont call it "physics". You should be able to get an A without ever getting the "right answer", so long as you demonstrate that you know the concepts and what the equations represent and how to apply them. Not contorting yourself to do the work of a machine, like a sadistic hazing ritual.

Edit:

And I almost forgot about the fun little thing they do in college where the course covers topics {A,B,C}, yet they test you {A, B^-1, and C-d}, you know, just a little bit different* material or problem formats than what they lectured about. Just different enough that they dont resemble any of the quiz or homework problems. If you want to test me on Ax^2+bx+c, then test me on Ax^2+bx+c, not on problems I've never seen before.

Until you have proved something has happened, it must be assumed that it did not happen. There is no reason to assume something is true just because someone claims it happened. Especially when it is a claim that can severely damage reputations, livelihoods, and lives.

"I went home and cried that day, because even aside from impacts to my salary and bonuses, it did have real-world consequences - significant consequences that my management chain was very well aware of. I was enrolled in a Stanford CS graduate program, sponsored by Uber"

This deserves to be all caps, and in bold.

Ambitious people tend to eat shit sandwiches until they are either immune to them, or realize there's more to life.

She pointed out that the number of women at Uber was dwindling - women are smart, they take the 'more to life' route oftentimes.

It's just life playing itself out - as long as people are willing to eat shit, for money, like Susan did for a whole year - Ubers are going to be around.

No amount of blogging about it is going to help - if you're willing to eat them shit sandwiches, someone out there is going to make em for you :)

I'm a bodybuilder and I've been Intermittent Fasting now for about 3 years and have worked out 5 days a week most of that time. It's about all timing your meals properly. I work out in the evening so when I have a noon meal it gives my body enough time incorporate the food for fuel before the workout. My biggest meal is after the workout when my body is at it's anabolic peak. The funny thing thing is that you can still gain weight using this protocol and I've used it very well to pack on some additional muscle so it's not a free-for-all and you still need to eat clean 90% of the time.
True, but I was thinking more about the part where they sell music streaming services (Google Play Music, YouTube Red). Maybe I am wrong since they are not producers, but I considered this as being part of the media industry.
For me, when I started keeping a simple journal (3-4 lines mostly), daily, it assisted me in not being boring. I made sure if there was a conversation I jotted it down, names of people too. When I write the next day I often read a few pages prior. My "changes" day to day can now be seen by me and thus become top of mind and make good conversation content.

My nature is to not think anyone is interested in my day cause it is boring as hell to me.

I also found my listening ability greatly improved by simply jotting stuff down..

This thread is awsome by the way.
Wow, `goaccess` is beautiful! Thank you for sharing.
Most people who read the original article will never see the retraction. So they get all the page views and ad impressions from running a sensational story that goes viral, most of those people will continue to believe it, and even if some do find out it's false there's this idea that they shouldn't even look down on WaPo for this because they eventually retracted it. It's win-win-win for them!
I exercise while fasting during Ramadan. For me, the trick is exercising in the evenings after I've broken my fast. I also hydrate extensively during non-fasting hours.
A valid DMCA notice requires just such a declaration.

Which means either:

- It does not contain a declaration of truth under penalty of perjury in which case it is invalid
- It contains an automated declaration of truth under penalty of perjury. I believe even an automated declaration opens up the declarer to perjury. If it does not, then it is a fraudulent DMCA notice.
- It contains manual declaration of truth under penalty of perjury, which would require a human to have reviewed the document and made such a declaration.

Evidence has been proffered to the extent that it can. The CIA can't name its sources without erasing what little access it appears to have. The CrowdStrike report is freely available on the internet.

Prominent Republicans on the Senate Intelligence Committee in have viewed the evidence and agree with the findings of this report, asserting that the Russian government ordered the campaign to interfere with the election.

President Trump can be legitimate and the Russian government interfered with the election. The "if you're not with me, you're against me" attitude is blinding and counterproductive. The right thing to do is to proceed with investigation and also proceed with the business of government, which is what is happening now. (If you say that Democrats are hypocritically obstructionist in Congress in 2017 I will agree, but it is orthogonal to Russia or any investigation of it).

Trump himself has made claims of massive fraud during the election.

I mean, I'm being a little sarcastic, he claims that 100% of the fraud was against him, but there are more things making this administration look ridiculous than people concern trolling about Russia.

If the administration loses the ability to govern effectively, it has lost legitimacy regardless of the legitimacy of the elections.
