If this had been required back when I got my first job, I would've learned that my wife and I are carriers of a rare genetic disorder, and it would've saved the sadness and pain of my wife having delivering stillborn twins. My wife is still dealing with medical issues years later because of this. The pain was indescribable.

Furthermore, as an employer myself, I can't for the life of me understand or comprehend how one would discriminate against someone based on what genes they have. Or how anyone would. At the point an employee gets tested, you've already hired them. What are you going to do? Block them from leading a project since they test positive for XYZ Type A? Or getting a promotion because they're carriers of ALS?

Companies already want to drug test employees... Which I feel shows you don't trust them. Which some companies make you stand in front of someone watching you pee. When there's less invasive methods such as a spit or hair sample(Maybe they cost more to use or somthing?). Now they want to do genetic testing?

Well my aunt's work does somthing like this, if you get your blood checked once a year you get a discount, but I don't know if the company gets a copy of the results. I would think that would violate HIPPA, but I know if you switch doctors you can sign a release so your new doctor gets the information. So I assume it's all done with your permission(Signing a release with the doctor).

America is the only country that ties health insurance to employment also.

Edit: Looks like some positions only urine tests are allowed by federal law but looks like just DOT jobs. So If you have a desk job or working retail, looks like the companies are free to pick any much any method. https://www.quora.com/How-likely-is-a-hair-drug-test-for-pre...
I don't see anything PayPal offers that Stripe can't do better. Why put yourself at risk of arbitrary catastrophe at the hands of a company like PayPal that wants to act like a bank while weaseling around the legal protections against bank malfeasance?
After a fork, does the amount of committed memory increase by the size of the child's allocated virtual memory space?

I'm curious how committed memory interacts with COW fork semantics. After all, a child can just overwrite the COW/copy of the memory it inherited from its parent without allocating anything else.

Do i think the Federal Government will ban gay marriage?

No. What would the motivation be? What would be the precedent[s] cited?

Do i think the Federal Government would not mount an active defense of gay marriage if a given state sought to outlaw it?

Maybe. It would depend on the state and precedent[s] used to justify the endeavor.

May i pose a non sequitur query? What was the Women's March on the day after the Trumpnoguration protesting? What legislation, executive actions, or campaign promises were they seeking to highlight and defeat?
>The second situation was never as risky as the first.

But if both situations have the same outcome -- everyone not descended from the 40-pair group is dead -- does it make sense after the fact to distinguish them by "riskiness"? It seems to be a distinction without a difference, as the saying goes.

The hypothetical "pedo gene" is probably too emotionally charged; some may find it difficult to engage rationally as a result.

Suppose instead there were a gene found which caused a toxic reaction in some children. Some, but not all, children exposed to these substances might sicken or even die.

I suspect that in such a scenario, if the evidence showing correlation was compelling - you would be OK with mandating testing, and separating children from contact with known carriers of the gene - at least until it could be better understood and/or treated, cured, the harm mitigated, or what have you.

I would further suggest that if YOU were discovered to be a carrier of the gene, that you yourself would probably feel an obligation to self-report and avoid any contact with children, so as to prevent any accidental exposure and harm.
Asking if a common occurrence in science had also previously happened in this field is "a conspiracy theory of my own making"? No, it's actually an important question to ask when something doesn't get the funding and research it needed.

"Build it and they will come" nonsense doesn't need a conspiracy against it either. Just indifference from people who have heard many unfulfilled big claims from other people.

These scenarios where big discoveries are left in funding purgatory have happened many times in the past. And these things never happen in isolation but in a fast moving field of research.

I'm merely asking for greater context. Not sure why that brought out such hostility.

When using any methodology one could either be successful or fail. OOP, in particular, has been very successful as a user interface engineering methodology. Windows API is one example. Even when taken to the extreme (Smalltalk, Ruby), it can be relatively successful. It is just that as everything else it is only an approximation to the sheer complexity of the world we are trying to model, and so one has to be careful enough not to end up following the road to complexity hell - the one that is paved with the good intentions to try and use the OOP as a way of managing complexity in the first place.
"OOP" means, in practice, two very different concepts.

It was probably C++ (and later Java) that interpreted OOP as a mandate that your types should fit in some sort of hierarchy. Inheritance (usually with polymorphism) was seen as a primary way to reuse common code. Fortunately, more and more people are realizing the problems that arise when the real world doesn't map easily to the overly-simple inheritance hierarchy. This type of OOP failed a long time ago.

On the other hand, OOP in the original Alan Kay sense[1][2] is about message passing. This happily lives as a key part of languages such as Ruby.

[1] "I invented the term Object-Oriented and I can tell you I did not have C++ in mind."

[2] http://wiki.c2.com/?AlanKayOnObjects
I think one major problem with OO was that many people did not really get object oriented thinking (and I was probably among them). It is very easy to do objects that are just dummy data container instead of smart things that interact with each other.

Just think how many Java tutorials started with the procedural "Hello World" example and then proceeded to introduce objects and taught the idea of encapsulation by reminding how important it is to protect the private members by creating a list of get/set methods that are used to access them.

This leads to objects with interface like this:

class Person {
public void setStomachContents(...);
public void getStomachContents(...);
public void setThoughts(...);
}

While I believe a "proper" object would have interface more like this:

class Person {
public void eat(...);
public void listen(...);
public Event<ProcessedFoodItem> output;
}

AFAIK the latest on CFS is that it is autoimmune. Also thyroid conditions often goes into remission so negative tests don't necessarily mean there is was nothing there. And yes both can be triggered by stress (as in my case of fixed Graves and current CFS) but I don't think lifestyle and lower stress is necessarily sufficient for everyone to improve. Effectively retiring wasnt sufficient for me. I think there is a multifaceted brain / microbiota axis but I'm still researching and experimenting. LDN will be my next experiment.
It may be reasonable, but it's not OO.

There are those who believe that all objects should be immutable, particularly at the domain level. In my view, that defeats the purpose of OO. There really is no state in this case in any meaningful sense because to get a new state, you must create a new object. So, the object is simply a collection of data.

And, even in limited use it's not strictly OO, which is a separate question from whether it can be useful. The entire purpose of OO was to model the real world. In the real world, you have a bus with passengers. When one passenger gets off, you have the same bus with one fewer passengers, not a completely new bus with all but one passenger The turn signal goes on and off vs. having a new bus with a different turn signal state.

So, at the domain level, it completely breaks the OO concept. And, even at the utility level with language constructs like Strings, immutability tends to oppose OO in the strictest sense. In fact, in many languages (like Java) the String is immutable for technical reasons (security, etc.), not because it's particularly good OO design. To wit, you now need a completely parallel "real" class (StringBuilder) to do the real "object work" of the String (append, delete, etc.) without creating object copies everywhere.

Where OO is concerned, immutability is generally an encumberance.
No.

The combined power and capacity constraints make solar a nonstarter.

Specialised, high-efficience, very light, all-electric boats have been built. They top out at about six knots, roughly 1/4 the speed of most shipping of the 1980s and 1990s (more recent ships have slowed somewhat to about 18-20 kt for efficiency, called slow steaming).

We had a technology for low-fuel shipping, it's called sails, and achieved net speeds of 12-20 kt with cargoes. Commercial sail vessels actually operated through the 1940s, in rare cases, as fuel costs and limitations were still concerns. These ships could and did out-pace coal-fired boats.

They are, however, dwarfed by modern monsters such as the Emma.

"female independence through hyper sexual objectification" is meant as a single element in that list, at least that's how I read it.
I didn't say that, I said that even if only a few people could move it could help. You asked "How would that help?"

I'm not saying that remittances from some lucky people who have the means to move are the solution to world poverty, but they help. If you don't want to do anything that helps, but won't solve the problem in three seconds flat without any side effects, then I'm all ears of what your suggestion is?
The examples you mention are very good examples where there is much less benefit in polymorphism (ADTs) than you think.

For one, many implementations have actually different names (such as append/add/__setitem__ in python, or push_back/insert/operator[] in C++).

For another, data structures are important for efficiency. It doesn't make sense to abstract those. You shouldn't use an array where a tree or hashmap is more efficient, etc.

By contrast, look at how polymorphism in datastructures is actually done in C++, i.e. STL. That's not your typical OO approach.

See my other question below. If there were a 10% chance that children who were exposed to your presence might sicken and die from a toxic reaction to your sweat, would you take steps to avoid any such contact? Would it be wrong to prevent you from working in schools?
You're using power (MWh) to make your point, but the crucial practical issue is energy storage (MWh). According to this chart[1], bunker fuel has about 80 times the energy density of lithium batteries. Something has to charge those batteries, too, so there will be another fuel source required generate the electricity.

Container ships do have large surface area, and its conceivable - it might be practical to build a hybrid solar/diesel ship. I can imagine most of the system being packaged in containers with solar cells on the top, and batteries and inverters inside. They would then be loaded last, on top of of the load and connected to a ship-board motors.

Indeed; one byte works for me. Four is a reasonable political compromise between "one byte works for me" and "oh my, what about clashes?"

16 bytes is an obvious example of the "second system effect" described by Fred Brooks in Mythical Man Month.

The fdisk utility now reduces the GUIDs to one byte codes that refer to the GUIDs. For instance, I remember that 29 is Linux RAID (previously FD). Will 29 always be Linux RAID everywhere? Probably not.

> With GPT, if I want to make a new filesystem type for some application ...

Four bytes could have an ample reserved range for local use by hobbyists.

Broad recognition of the code only matters if the application is very widely deployed.

The only place where I've seen the certification as a requirement is govt jobs (and UfT I believe).

Apart from those two, I've yet to find even a reference for it (let alone a requirement) - which is a cycle because one of the requirements of being a PEO is 12 months of work experience under a PEO (which won't happen as there aren't enough PEOs - the chicken and egg problem).
Conflating a personal matter with something required is inappropriate no matter your tangentally related situation.
Danes are not 'one' but 5.6 million, they don't all share the same opinion on the environment, on shipping, or on Maersk. But I agree that Danish governments have succeeded in making Denmark appear much more environmentally progressive than is generally the case and that is a form of hypocrisy.

> Interestingly, "benevolent" management of resources that "primitives" mishandle has been a justification for nearly all colonization programs in the past few centuries, except perhaps what the Belgians did in the Congo.

Even US foreign aid is distributed in a way completely subservient to US geopolitical interests. The perhaps most chilling example(and there are many examples) of this would be when the US denied food aid to Bangaldesh in '74, when the country was undergoing a massive famine(which ultimately led to the deaths of 4 million people). This wasn't just a simple denial, but an act of ransom against an impoverished, suffering people who just won their independence from a genocide-committing, US-backed Pakistan. The Americans had initially promised food aid to Bangladesh, and this aid was ready to deliver, when the Bangladeshis were told that they had to immediately cease all trade relations with Cuba to see any of it. Not only was Cuba one of the few trading partners of Bangladesh at the time, but also one of the first few countries to recognize their independence and status as a nation. By the time Bangladeshi leaders agreed to this demand, the famine was largely over and had claimed the bulk of its victims. US aid finally arrived too late to be of any use.

All of this was at the same time as when America was giving massive quantities of grain as food "aid" to South Vietnam, which was on its own a surplus food producing country. The grain given to South Vietnam was used(indeed, meant to be used) as barter in exchange for weapons from other countries. Just another instance of when American "charity" is used for American geopolitical interests rather than any meaningful form of charity.

There is absolutely no reason to believe that a nation state, especially one with the track record of the US, can be trusted to "benevolently" interfere with other countries. The only thing it will do, indeed can do, given the power structures that comprise it, is act in its own best interests, which are often as not to the detriment of the host country.

Near complete ablation of all immune cells in circulation is proving to be pretty effective as a way to put autoimmunity into long-lasting remission. It can be done with high dose immunosuppressants at the cost of much the same symptoms as cancer chemotherapy - these are harsh drugs - plus a few day period of vulnerability to infection while the immune system rebuilds. But the cures are demonstrated, for type 1 diabetes and multiple sclerosis over the past five to ten years.

All automimmunities should be amenable to cure this way, as the malfunctioning is based on bad data that is stored in the immune cells, nowhere else. Newly created immune cells do not have this malware; they acquire it from the existing population. (It would be interesting and novel to find an autoimmunity where this is not the case).

Unfortunately, the cost-benefit equation for this current form of ablation doesn't work for things that don't kill patients. No-one undergoes chemotherapy for a condition that merely shortens your life expectancy by a decade and makes you miserable, as chemotherapy has a significant risk of death and shortens your life expectancy by a decade.

So what is needed are better forms of ablation, those with no side-effects. The programmable gene therapy cell killer produced by Oisin Biotechnologies is one possible class of approach, as are other targeted cell killing approaches such as that demonstrated last year to selectively kill blood stem cells.

Then an application of cell therapies is needed, creating immune cells from a patient tissue sample, and infusing them in bulk immediately following ablation, to remove the period of vulnerability.

These are very feasible targets. A company could be founded today, right now, to do this, and have something ready for human trials by 2019. Sadly, here as elsewhere in medicine, there seems to be no hurry to change the world.

Former ship engineer here.

I only worked with Diesel, not HFOs.

Due to the rocking of the ship, it's hard to get an accurate reading of the fuel in the tanks. Fuel is transferred from storage tanks to a day tank, and a fuel meter can be used for that, but that only tells you how much you transferred, not how much you consumed. Unless you always fill the day tank to the exact same level (remember, hard to measure at sea) and at the same time each day, you won't know exactly how much was burned in a 24 hour period. And of course fuel consumption changes based on the ships speed.

This is a good, short explanation on how we measure tanks on ships: http://benvalle.com/Level.html

Edit: there is probably a lot of money to be made if someone can come up with a very accurate tank measuring method. I've seen some tanks use ultrasound to detect the level in a sounding tube, but sometimes those can be distorted if the "liquid" sticks to the sensor. Maybe some kind of 3d mapping? However not all tanks have an unabstructed free surface in order to prevent the free surface effect from capsizing the ship: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_surface_effect

2nd edit: Maybe not, since measuring at sea isn't as important as measuring in port when the ship is not rocking and the products are being transferred to/from ship. I'll leave the first edit since it might be interesting to people.
