Perhaps not in that case, but regardless, this is the kind of thing should be designed in deliberately as a feature (with an option to bypass it under special circumstances), rather than some accidental/arbitrary technical limitation just because the dev team didn't bother to implement the ability to update the field for whatever reason.
Under the "Tor" tab it states that the browser should be set to a window size of 1000x1000 or a multiple of 200x100. Is this to stay consistent across all Tor users? I would have thought that 1920x1080 would be fine to help stay anonymous.

It was my understanding that suicide was an irredeemable sin in your religion. Otherwise, why wouldn't every Christian that is convinced they will go to heaven not commit suicide after some form of Room 101-style soul purification? Otherwise you're leaving it up to chance that you'll make an irredeemable mistake in the future.

I don't have any skin in the game, I'm just confused why the most logical course of action wouldn't be to make your path to heaven as fast as possible?

Admiral Rickover had some really good ones. A sampling:

"Sit down before fact with an open mind. Be prepared to give up every preconceived notion. Follow humbly wherever and to whatever abyss Nature leads or you learn nothing. Don’t push out figures when facts are going in the opposite direction."

"More than ambition, more than ability, it is rules that limit contribution; rules are the lowest common denominator of human behavior. They are a substitute for rational thought."

"Responsibility is a unique concept... You may share it with others, but your portion is not diminished. You may delegate it, but it is still with you... If responsibility is rightfully yours, no evasion, or ignorance or passing the blame can shift the burden to someone else. Unless you can point your finger at the man who is responsible when something goes wrong, then you have never had anyone really responsible."

I just came across some surprising electron micrograph videos. They show "clumps" of hundreds of cell nuclei streaming through fungal hyphae networks one cell thick, and even some "swimming" against the current.[1] The nucleus isn't just a dumb hard drive holding DNA, but does information processing, sensing, and response as well. There's about 8 miles of fungal hyphae in a cubic inch of forest soil. So overall this represents an astounding potential for computing and sensing/effecting.

I wonder if any bioinformaticists have estimated the theoretical power of such a computing architecture?

There are also two kinds of things. Some things can go thru eachother, like photons. Other things bounce off eachother, like neutrons (and other things considered matter).

This is not true. The difference between bosons and fermions lies in the way swapping two of them works. The carriers of the weak force, W and Z bosons, are for example electrically charged and can therefore scatter off each other. Gluons, the carriers of the strong force, also interact with each other. Even photon photon scattering is thing. On the other hand you can try to collide two neutrinos, which are fermions, for quite some time and not much will happen.

That's not really as simple as mental health issues. False allegations of sexual misconduct are a significant risk for any man who works with underage females on a routine basis.

If a hostile addict (which, let's be honest, are probably not rare, since these programs are frequently court-ordered) learns that an employee's background may make him more susceptible to such allegations (e.g., a past accusation of pedophilia, justified or not), it could spell a lot of trouble for everyone involved.

If it becomes widely known, just the PR cost ("this rehab center employs pedophiles! Use ours instead!") would make his return infeasible. So while he wouldn't be technically barred from returning to work, practically speaking, it makes sense that he wouldn't be able to go back.

I agree, however, that the story appears to be a play to exert public pressure on the police force, perhaps to offer a larger compensatory package or settlement (to be honest, I didn't read far enough into the article to see if there is an active lawsuit ongoing).

The core issue is that our justice systems badly need some type of modernization. I understand how scary that is, but I think it's approaching time that we face the music. The world has changed at an unprecedented rate over the last 100 years, and it's time to shed some of the baggage we've carried over from centuries past.

I am acutely familiar with hospital systems and in every one I have seen so far, you can modify demographic information.

I wonder how much this regulation has to do with the EU commission being terrified after Brexit and wanting to create more financial linkage between member states. I feel this regulation may backfire in that regard. What will an institution like Deutsche do if/when they fuck up implementing this ? What will the government do in response ?

HN encourages people to pick their real names as usernames (or a variant of such) for 'real identities', but ignores the reality that people change their names when they get married.

Because it creates a new identity. The only way anyone on HN can recognize you is your username. Changing it at will would allow anyone to shed their identity on HN at any time while keeping the karma and account privileges they've accumulated.

Perhaps that is something that's worth allowing, and iirc dang et al have made some vague statements that they may be interested in allowing that at some point, but the ramifications would be substantial. This isn't something that should be taken lightly, nor should it be expected/implicit that a social site will accommodate new identities on-demand.
It is interesting to me that we don't have a national ID card in the USA. I don't appreciate strong arguments against them. Like on this list by the ACLU...

https://www.aclu.org/other/5-problems-national-id-cards

>> Reason #2: An ID card system will lead to a slippery slope of surveillance and monitoring of citizens.

I think "they" are already monitoring everything I do. Maybe this would have mattered more to me before I had a smartphone, passport, bank account, social media accounts, etc. If I wanted to live off the grid with no electricity & only using trained ninja squirrels to buy things with unmarked bills on my behalf, I would certainly not want to be forced to into having a national ID card. I'm not advocating monitoring. I just feel a national ID card wouldn't be much different than my current situation.
Well - if it said 'counterfeit' then they would be in legal trouble. So at very least, they 'changed it' for that legal reason.

It's possibly 'they may care' but are overwhelmed, and just ignore the little stuff, or can't reasonably hunt down every entity.

It's also possible that they don't care, and will only clam down on it enough to stay out of jail.

It's also possible they do care, and they make money from it.

For direct sales though - this is a problem. If it's some 3rd party - that's one thing - but from their inventory? Bad. Very bad.

I hadn't thought about it until now, but Canada and Australia are very similar in several respects. They both have vast natural resources, and the population of both is found mostly in small regions.

In Australia it's mostly along some of the coast. In Canada it's mostly in a small strip just to the north of the USA.

Contrast to Europe. Lots of population everywhere. Contrast to the USA. The eastern third of the country is quite developed, as is a good part of California.

Servers usually have pretty good fans, as long as you're not doing anything extremely intense you're probably fine with just air cooling at room temp like any desktop PC, we've run them on shelves in a non-ventilated lab for years without issue.

Agree. Driver abstraction layers are not a cure-all. First, OEMs want to customize the O/S above the driver level. Second, a strict DAL with a canonical O/S on top slows hardware innovation. All devices end up functionally the same because they have to fit the same DAL, and they can't customize the O/S to take advantage of new HW.

Take Android Wear. It took the DAL approach. As a result, O/S upgrades are immediately available to all devices (awesome!). But there is very little differentiation - all Wear devices use the same small set of SoC's and peripherals, and are functionally the same. Google decides on HW innovations.

(This was true of Wear 1.0, not sure if changed with Wear 2.0)
