Just to note, vasectomies are no walk in the park, and should be treated as final rather than a simple contraception option (though they can be reversed, just not easily).

While you can go back to day-to-date activities after a few days, there is still extra time to heal fully. Pain can hang around for a long time in some cases—even years. Infection is also a big concern, so take it should be taken very seriously.

With all of that said, a vasectomy is a much better and simpler option than female sterilization for a majority of people and has a high success rate.
Yup, this one and UNIX Network Programming where staples of my early software career.
Allowing arbitrary syntax transformation would create an insanely large search space, but if you limit the possibilities to a few common cases (like string.len -> size(string) [attribute -> global function] or amount.add(increment) -> Number.plus(amount, increment) [instance method -> class method]) and cull the generated code heavily using a static checker, you might be able to do quite a lot.

Of course then you have to deal with the case where the suggestion is subtly wrong (e.g. amount.add(increment) was intended to mutate the amount, while Number.plus is a pure function) and the programmer might not spot it, if they were unfamiliar with the correct usage in the first place. Now we are firmly in research territory, I think.

Forget about high end manufacturing.

I play harmonica, and German made Hohner's are considered to be the best. The only quality competitor is Seydel(Again a German company), or Suzuki(Japanese). I think its the overall culture and seasoning to quality and workmanship your ordinary citizens are used to.

The real deal isn't just High end manufacturing.

I know of a relative of mine who used to buy Grundig and Braun radio/taperecorders/stereos in the 80's. The design and quality still comes across way ahead of its times.

Quality shows in everything you build.

Volumes may be profitable for a while. But with lack of quality you won't be able to build BMW's and Airbus's. The kind of manufacturing that has a future.
I knew several people in roles like this when I was there. They had somebody who had done a PhD in OS research working on startup scripts.
I am slowly getting there. After watching the film cowspiracy my wife and I decided to slowly transition, mainly environmental reasons but also because of the way animals are treated. We eat meat maybe once/twice a week coming down from twice daily, and when we do eat meat we try and source the best from small farmers. Transitioning away from meat has been relatively easy, where I personally fall short is dairy. There just isn't a good substitute for cheese and I find the smell and taste of soya milk awful. Hopefully new products will come along...

Agree with you on Facebook and Google. There's a choice, and at least there is no law preventing competition/disruption. Not the case with the NSA, but that's a tangent.

The root issue is the national providers lobbying the state to prevent competition at the municipal level. Granting more power to the FCC does not solve that problem. Rather, it would only serve to lock in the existing monopolies and further centralize control with the state/corporate nexus.

The state preventing the market from functioning is not a valid reason to introduce more state intervention. In my view, competition will protect the consumer better than regulation in the long run.
I find it inconceivable that you'd equate contraceptives with "encourage high risk of stds."
(founder here)

We've been shipping apps for many years now, and every time around we're frustrated by a rudimentary routing layer. We think a proxy/CDN can do a lot for devs, and Fly is an early look at the power a smarter routing layer can give to developers.

Fly connects visitors directly to apps, handles all the chores, and provides edge-level middleware to help devs ship features faster. It's designed to run in place of local load balancers like nginx and haproxy, and works as both a load balancer and CDN for dynamic apps (we have servers in 6 datacenters, more soon).

For me, the most interesting part is the middleware, and this is what we expect to really matter long term. You're probably familiar with local app middleware to provide auth, modify content, do analytics, etc, etc. Most of these can actually run at the edge, and Fly currently has middleware for:

* Server side Google analytics

* Identity Aware Proxy (require auth to even load an app)

* Geo data / connection speed information as headers

* Session cookie knowledge

* Routing rules

You can mix and match these. If your app is getting DDoS'ed from a botnet in China, for example, you can use the geo data middleware + a routing rule to send all traffic from China to a higher capacity. backend. Or, you can extract a user_id from session cookie and send it to Google analytics. Or, send authenticated users to one backend (like your app) and anonymous users to another (like a static site hosted in GH pages).

This is something we've wanted for a really long time, we've worked on Ars Technica, Compose, and even a bunch of low volume apps that would have been better with a service like this. Traffic routing is really powerful if applied properly, and we're hoping to give any developer the same flexibility as they'd have at one of the big 3 tech companies (who tend to build all this themselves).
I just flipped the switch one fine day in 2011 - to go vegetarian, it was at the back of my mind via various sources, I wont go into that. However mentally for me it was lack of exercise and meat just made me lethargic and I felt vegetarianism will help.

So I turned vegetarian and started exercise (tennis, walks) and I started feeling the benefits.

Hindsight (20/20) of course, I think it was just exercise that was needed. I think we are what we eat but we are polished if we exercise.

Last year I tried just eggs a bit (for me vegetarian = no meat/fish/eggs, definition I guess allows eggs) but did not like the taste, after 6 years of vegetarianism.

I woud overall say, listen to your body, eat what you like, but don't forget to burn those fats irrespective of if you eat meat or not.
You're right, of course, but a VPN at least lets you make sure that the service that can snoop on your data doesn't want to snoop on your data, because they know you'll just leave them for another, more privacy conscious, provider if they do.

VPN providers have incentive to compete with each other and commitment to user privacy is an important selling point. ISPs have zero commitment to privacy and almost no reason to compete since users have no choice.
Their attention span for products and tendency to half-ass things that aren't highly visible (Android SDK and documentation comes to mind) supports this notion. It's exactly what I'd expect from a company hiring 100% A players but needing 95% B-C work—avoid and shirk until you can land on a greenfield project, work on that until it's boring, then jump ship to another company or a more interesting project, because god knows you didn't go to MIT and then cram algos/structures for 6 months to update developer docs 8 hours a day.

What did he actually do when he was twice elected as the Republican governor of New Mexico from 1995 to 2003. I give credit for what people do rather than what they say.

Also, he didn't campaign on legalization. He gave a speech about it in his second term. Did he parole any non-violent drug offenders? Did he use the powers of his office?
Oh, there are a ton of people complaining that female contraception encourages people to have sex they shouldn't be having. It's not usually framed in terms of STDs, but I'm pretty sure the STD argument here is just a cover for a moralistic argument anyway.
What's at stake here is more fundamental than federalism: it's self determination. Throughout history, discrete groups have waged wars of independence to ensure that they can have a government that reflects their shared history, culture, and values. My family is from Bangladesh, which fought a war to separate from Pakistan over cultural/linguistic differences. In another example, Israel is engaged in an existential battle to ensure the existence of a sovereign nation for its people.

In Europe, exactly the opposite is happening. People are being prodded to give up their sovereignty to a supra-national bureaucracy, and to be assimilated into a hetrogenous body politic with hundreds of millions of other people with which they share little other than said bureaucracy. People in the U.K. were very rightfully afraid of what that could lead to and decided they wanted to get off that train.
Majorities often shift, and depend on other changes. E.g. Brexit probably means the end of the UK as we know it - it substantially increased the odds of Scottish independence, as England is far more right wing, but have been held in check by EU law. It may even mean a unified Ireland, as there's been a solid shift towards the Republican side in Stormont, and even some unionists seem to be disillusioned by how the concerns of Northern Ireland gets ignored at Westminster.

Meanwhile London has demanded more devolved powers (partly because Manchester recently got lots of power devolved). More demands will follow.

The UK has been fracturing since the way it was created, and the cracks are getting deeper and deeper, and Brexit looks set to accelerate that process sharply.

As for "hands on" and "family style support", you're demanding luxuries that many settlers didn't have. I'm reading the Foxfire books, they're all you'll need for a good fair start.
Why do you assume that anyone who wants to have sex will be seeking out not only contraception, but an experimental, first-of-its-kind contraceptive?

I want to (and do) have sex and I never use contraceptives. Were I interested in curtailing the birth of my children, even before I was married, I would absolutely NOT use a drug that is brand new.

Ultimately this needs to be recognized as a convenience thing. Condoms are a very effective, extremely low-risk option. They require no modifications to your biological system and reliably prevent pregnancy (not to mention STDs).

Even drugs like "the pill", now old-school, put people at risk for scary complications that sometimes happen and significant undesirable side effects that frequently happen.

We all love science and technology and that's great, but drugs are risky, and effects are often not visible until they've been in public use for some years. There are a lot of really sad examples of this, where some widely-prescribed drug has a little-known side effect or misunderstood risk profile for some patients, and it can, and literally has, resulted in death.

One should consider the risk involved when weighing "Would I rather take five seconds to slip on a condom, or inject myself with this experimental and/or brand new drug?"

I'm sure there will be early adopters, but as someone who wants to have sex, there is no way I will be among them.
Just to add, I don't want my comments to scare any males considering the option. If you are at the time in life to stop having children, and you have no condition preventing the procedure, it's really the best option and will more than likely not have any issues. It sometimes doesn't even require pain medication.
There are parallels here to healthcare-by-emergency-room versus actually having healthy people.

It's obvious that we should commit people who wave around guns and think there are Martians in their teeth. But there are also homeless people who just get agitated, verbally abusive, and mildly violent on a semi-regular but certainly dysfunctional basis. How do we help them, and barring that, how do we protect others, including other people who live in the same shelters?
We don't think we directly compete with Unity. If you imagine all engines in a pyramid, Unity is at the top and we're somewhere in the middle. Construct users often graduate to Unity, but conversely people who try Unity and find it too overwhelming come to us.

I think in comparison to our direct competitors in our space, our pricing is still competitive.
I'm noticing here in California, many of the mentally ill homeless simply ended up in jail, where they are given some level of care. However, with the recent mandated Federal court order to reduce the prison population, there has been a flood of them back on the streets. I'm also going to speculate that many of the mentally ill also have drug dependency issues.

I see where your argument is coming from. Lobbyists give money to politicians who push legislation that favors lobbyists. In a sense that could be construed as a 'sale'.

But if we accept that premise, even in that case the only thing that was sold was the potential to infringe on privacy, not privacy itself.

Congressional Republicans don't own my privacy.

They can certainly make it easier for me to protect my privacy and have possibly made it harder after this vote, but they never owned it.
Michigan artist David Barr (1940-2015) created the 'Four Corners Project' [1] exhibited at the Smithsonian, where he inscribed a regular tetrahedron into a transparent globe. In choosing his points, he used his personal criteria:

1: Each of the 4 areas needed to be untouched by western technology

2: One of the points had to be on Easter Island

3: Each of the 4 positions needed to be on land

His effort was written about in a 1982 issue of InfoWorld magazine [2], and the mathematical background is fascinatingly detailed in the paper 'Mathematical Geography and Global Art: The Mathematics of David Barr's "Four Corners Project"' by Sandra L. Arlinghaus and John D. Nystuen [3].

On a different website, Sandra Arlinghaus further details [4] David Barr and John D. Nystuen's math and even includes a link to a still-working .kml generator for Google Earth [5] that can be used to help with this task.

I'm curious now

> against what the rest of EU media and politicians are saying

I've been paying a very close eye to this so I'm confused, what sources are authoritatively stating that A50 can't be revoked? Your Supreme Court piece does not cover it. In the UK, the only reason why some politicians say A50 can't be revoked is out of a concern for how it could play into negotiations. It's not a commentary on whether A50 is revokable or not. If the EU say it's not, it isn't. And the European Parliament's official stated position is that it is revokable. And even if it wasn't the stated position, the UK would still be able to argue it on legal grounds.

> I don't see the UK healing itself in time for this to be averted

I don't think healing would be the needed element, rather it would be the overriding desire to avoid further division and pain. More division and pain are on the menu. Given how far positions have changed in a year, it would be terribly unwise to underestimate the degree to which the landscape can change in the next 2 years.

Pre-referendum leave voters were optimistic about the economic future. That's trending down.

Pre-referendum nobody was factoring in a Trump presidency and how it might affect the UK's place in the world.

Pre-referendum the vast majority of MPs in Parliament were pro-remain, something which was not reflected in post-referendum votes in Parliament (which is to say attitudes shifted and can shift again).

To me the most significant repercussion of A50 having now been initiated is the fact that all those MPs that felt bound to submit to a plebiscite vote now may feel free again to act with the national interest in mind, given that they can say that they have dutifully observed the will of the electorate. In other words, the power of the referendum vote diminishes by the day.

Imagine if one or two major factories close down in leave areas, or if investment is shrunk down in light of Brexit with major job losses as a result. This could easily swing public opinion. With the cost of living going up, this next 2 years is going to be a true pressure cooker for the Government.
What are Google salaries in Colorado like?
I do hope some of my own experience of discovery came through there.

I was going through a bunch of Google Books results on "free trade" in the late 19th century, and the encyclopedia popped up. I'd started flipping through it at the Internet Archive, from the beginning, when I came on the Note, which I thought unusual. And so on.

It still strikes me as both funny and insightful.

On a side note: from what little I've read, it seems like on some older systems like the NES/SNES, there isn't ever any direct manipulation of a framebuffer by the CPU — everything that appears on the screen is the result of the graphics chip drawing either a background or a sprite. Anybody know if that's correct?

Seems to me that online maps should render the Earth as a sphere (or, heck, a properly shaped spheroid) centered on the viewport, where scrolling around rotates the sphere. This will look flat when zoomed in, will look accurate when zoomed out, and won't have any weird distortions of area or direction. I'm sure Google Maps didn't do it this way originally because it wasn't feasible when your minimum target was IE5 running on Windows 98, or whatever, but it surely could be done now.
> There is no reason not to use both.

Fear of it not being as reversible as it was supposed to be would be a pretty good reason not to use this one.

If you're married, with children, and looking for an alternative to vasectomy, that risk is lower in the sense that should the reverse procedure not go as expected, it would probably be less crushing than the same experience as a newlywed.
