TLDR: "Aging is the major risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease though the advent of Alzheimer’s disease within a normal human lifespan is suggested to be brought about through human exposure to aluminum. Essentially without aluminum in brain tissue there would be no Alzheimer’s disease."
I'm mostly an online buyer myself. But when I go to book stores I've noticed the sorting associates the genre with the author and not with the work. This is why authors who want to write in different genres do so under pen names. So if Atwood mostly writes literary fiction, it makes sense that she would want her speculative books shelved in their usual space. This is an old mode of thinking, admittedly, but it makes sense in terms of moving physical volumes.
The nature article[1] mentions in the abstract that the identifier for KELP-9 (the host star) in the Henry Draper catalog is HD 195689. Here's the information about it from SIMBAD[2]. It also appears to have been referenced in 6 other papers, so I presume that such information already exists about it.

> Snowden's identity was made public by The Guardian at his request on June 9, 2013.[97] He explained: "I have no intention of hiding who I am because I know I have done nothing wrong."[20] He added that by revealing his identity he hoped to protect his colleagues from being subjected to a hunt to determine who had been responsible for the leaks.

i've been loving all of your comments. +1 to you! #rolemodelsmatter
We should be clear and distinguish deodorants in general from antiperspirants specifically. Aluminum compounds are the only known effective antiperspirants, you can ask for an aluminum-free antiperspirant but you'll get a product that doesn't work very well (if at all). However, there are many options for aluminum-free deodorants that aren't antiperspirants.

I thought it was well known that antiperspirants should be avoided because of the aluminum.
This is what a lot of us who don't hate Zuck's guts actually do use FB for.
I see what you're saying now.
Other than antiperspirant, are we exposed to aluminum in a form that our bodies readily absorb? Is it ever used as a food additive?

There is a genotype called ApoeE-e4/e4 which increases risk by 11x.

Interestingly the only differences between Apoe4 and a neutral, very common variant called ApoE3 is one amino acid at position 112. The small variance appears to account for most of the negative effect of the ApoE4 genotype.

Massive incompetence and amateurish stuff on part of the leaker and The Intercept. Yellow dots have been known for ages.
Before there was strong for-profit bit in the mix (but it was always there) but the main idea was that rehabilitation is too complicated and doesn't work. Something to the effect of "Oh look we tried, half-hardheartedly, it failed, there is no point wasting time, these people never learn so just lock them up away from the society for as long as possible". That was always going hand in hand with tough-on-crime politics and a general sadistic undercurrent in the American culture that celebrates punishment for punishment's sake.

But once the for profit element was added into the mix there is an actual disincentive to rehabilitate people as it would mean a direct reduction in profits. So before it was bad but this is like adding some gasoline into the fire.

There was for example, the case of a judge in PA who had a deal with the local prison/juvenile center of sorts where he was sending teenagers in for minor infractions and was getting kickbacks.

Prison industrial complex also lobbies the government to keep the War on Drugs going because a reform there also would directly cut profits for them.

There even a whole ecosystem of predators exploiting every single angle possible to milk the prisoners and their families' money and labor. Down to telecom companies with ridiculously expensive charges when prisoners talk to their loved ones, to companies selling food (the commissary) and so on.
The Intercept scanned the document and posted high quality versions of them online. They were of such quality that the embedded dots modern printers add to each page were readily available:

It pointed to the exact printer being used and the exact time and date the document was printed. They didn't need her email to figure out it was her, but I'm sure that will help them in her court case.

The dairy industry is one of the most brutal and soulless ones there is. I don't know what you'd call a "starter" if that isn't.

I also fail to see why this would "collapse global civilization". The fact that there's a huge industry behind this in some countries doesn't make it critical. The world economy wouldn't change that much IF these vanished (people would just consume something else).
Thanks!

Occupy Wall Street's lack of agenda was a deliberate move.

Apparently some of its leaders believed (and I would say, probably correctly) that advancing an agenda simply gives your opponents an opportunity to take you down. Instead they focused on 1 message and making sure it was broadcast: income inequality is a lot bigger than you think and it might be a problem. They left the answer to the public.

I agree the microdots thing was sloppy. At least degrade the image of the page, or better yet retype the thing before sending it on. However, being one of the few people who printed it off from work was pretty stupid and would have boned her anyway. At some point in her brain she should have reflected that she was going up against the NSA and stealing their top secret intel and that maybe just maybe the system kept track of who printed out the Top Secret stuff the POTUS's attorneys are sweating bullets over.

That said, if the dude gets impeached she will probably eventually be pardoned.

The definition between a jail and a prison is very much depends on what state you are in.

For example in Texas, you've sat in jail for 6 month and receive a 1 year sentence, you will not be sent to prison, you will remain in the jail for the next 6 months. You can remain in 'jail' for years sometimes before being sent to a prison facility, even after sentencing.
Understood. Yeah if your goal is for you to find out if they know how to use the tool it's one thing. It would be different if you were really expecting an in-depth description of how they are implemented by the DB engine. I use a lot of things daily that I would be incapable of fully explain, as long as I know how and when to use them I think it's enough :)
Is it just deodorant or can drinking out if an aluminum soda can or even tin foil around food also cause such?
I'm curious: If there is a war going on, did this leak help or hinder? Which side did it help or hinder? Who benefits from this leak, and who is harmed?

Do the answers to these questions matter if the war continues regardless?

I don't think The Intercept has much responsibility here at all. In my opinion, in their role as receivers of leaked information, they should verify the information provided to them and decide if it should be released to the public. Sure, they shouldn't reveal their source and The Intercept met that requirement by insuring that they themselves did not know the leaker's identity.

Anyone who is thinking about leaking anything classified only needs to spend thirty seconds typing "Snowden" into Google to find out what happens when the federal government identifies the leaker. They then decide if it's worth the risk and how much time they will spend on covering their tracks. In this case (if true) it sounds like Reality Winner decided that they simply couldn't cover up their leaking and threw in the towel.

Much has been made of the watermarks on laser printers, we've known about those for a long time. Not everyone is aware but it's the sort of thing you can find out about if you put in time to do the research. After doing my own research, it doesn't seem like these watermarks really came into play; the NSA simply looked up everyone who had accessed the document and inspected their workstations for clues.
Wait, didn't aluminun used to be much more rare in the past, yet we still had Alzheimer's cases? Or are we assuming things in the past were Alzheimer's without good evidence?

Edit: Removed question about exposure, since it was answered in parent.
Presumably for this author, when he came of age to work, he didnt need to support his parents or his brothers, so he had the luxury to look for true meaning in his work and had enough balance in his checking account that quitting wasn't an unreasonable choice when he didnt find what he was looking for. I would think he is not alone, and many people around the world who come from upper middle class families are in the same boat if they dont have anybody else depending on them and if they can't find meaning in their job.

It doesn't but the paper's abstract mentions the HD identifier, so you can look it up on SIMBAD[1] to get the parallax. While parallaxes aren't the best measure of distance (they really aren't very good at all) you can get an okay estimation by taking [d = 1/p] where d is in parsecs and p is in arcseconds. Saving you the math, it's about ~188 ±20 parsecs (~564±60 ly).

HFS+'s use of NFD also comes from it being an early adopter of Unicode.

When I argued strenuously for n-p/n-i behavior in ZFS (see elsewhere in this thread) I was told that gee, Unicode doesn't describe n-i string comparison the way I was proposing, so we can't do it :( However, fast n-i does follow from the spec, so eventually it got done. I can't take credit for the code, though I did contribute an optimization.
I recognize a piece of background that the article is leaving unstated. A decade ago, the mathematical group E_8 was the subject of a unified theory of physics by an outsider, Antony Lisi, who called it "An Exceptionally Simple Theory of Everything". [1]

This theory never got published (it was supposedly the most downloaded paper on arXiV for a while, though). Peer review was not favorable to it. But the popular press ran with it, especially because of the story they could tell about how a surfer dude was maybe the next Einstein.

I assume that the echoes of this are why a mathematician writing down facts about E_8 got caught up in an explosion of weird publicity about God Particles.

(Author here) Fair point and, honestly, I also cringe a bit when people like me describe themselves as CTOs. That said, whether we like it or not, a critical mass in the start-up community has stolen the term and twisted it to mean "the developer with the most responsibility". By using the term in this book, I admit that I sold out and went along with the bastardised meaning for the sake of brevity and my own convenience.

> Snowden did everything right, and it still wasn't good enough.

But Snowden's whole strategy was to be a public figure. He fled the country and had a documentary filmmaker record the handover of the documents. It looks like Winning was hoping to remain private and had no idea what she was doing.

Can you clarify this a little? Have you seen or worked with ATC code? I can believe some of your other comments about poor API specs, old code, aging infrastructure, etc., but I'm curious about your loop and allocation comments. My understanding is mission-critical software often has very strict formal verifications and bounds checking processes it goes through, and one of the techniques in those conditions involves loop unrolling. The absence of loops doesn't (always) mean bad software if it's designed to save lives. Just wanting to understand this particular complaint.

If this were self hosted I'd be taking a much closer look.

What's the point in your Google Map link? That is a picture of a single family home. So what? What does that prove? That means nothing other than you found a picture of a random house on Google Maps. Some family owns that home and the land it is built on. I know the neighborhood well. When that area was originally developed it was considered a suburb. Originally anything West of downtown was considered a suburb.

And your density figure for LA is also wrong. from the last census:

>"The nation's most densely populated urbanized area is Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, Calif., with nearly 7,000 people per square mile."[1]

That is 7,000 people per 2.6/Km.

If you have the politics of a typical college professor they're not terribly interested. The clearance process was mostly CYA, was this candidate dumb enough to say he'd sell secrets to the soviets for weed or cash to pay loansharks or kinky sex?

I've read this woman's weird social media profiles. What a nutcase. The systemic failure was in her direct superior not discussing some red flags that would be noteworthy at any other organization with HR and/or the police. Her boss is supposed to be having an awkward conversation with HR beginning with "So I've got this direct report, and in public she hates the CEO. And she's intensely racist, everything with her is all about race race race, and btw she bitterly hates the CEO's race, although she likes some other races. So she hates the race of some coworkers including the big guy, and she likes the race of other coworkers, and says this all in public which must be very intimidating to her coworkers. And she hates a couple entire countries include some that we have coworkers from which must be very awkward in the office. And she tweets out parodies making fun of the CEO, in public. And she denies and parodies the CEOs policies, and denies the CEO is the legitimate leader of the company, which makes me think shes not going to react rationally at all, if the CEO or anyone else in the chain of command disciplines or fires her, we're going to need security if not cops present. And she identifies her own race as being terrorists, which in an era of workplace violence frankly scares me, and she does this in public so her coworkers see her identify herself as terrorism race or whatever violent idiocy, and we're making an incredibly hostile workplace for every coworker who's not suicidal or martyr complex. She believes she's about to die from climate change or some nonsense, the specifics don't matter, which is super terrifying in the context of self identifying as being a terrorist, making me scared she's going to strike first perhaps. So, HR person, do we wait for her to go postal and shoot the entire office, or is there some kind of employee assistance plan for mental illness I mean if this can all be fixed with some pills she seems otherwise OK, or can we call security and fire her WRT the whole workplace violence thing combined with her bitter racism toward coworkers or the ethnic thing where she hates certain countries that we have coworkers in/from or ..."
