You're reducing some pretty vile behavior - "groped women who sought out advice or pitched him for investments, sent them lurid texts late at night and harassed them with unwanted sexual propositions" down to its least objectionable description - free speech, and "something that makes someone uncomfortable" like someone who "farts too much".

Do you think that groping women, lurid texts late at night, and harassing them with unwanted sexual propositions is objectionable behavior? If so, why are you trying to downplay it to just "annoying behavior?"

BTW no lawsuits have been filed (yet) so "illegal" doesn't enter into it.

As an immigrant, I see the "American pride" a lot, which is not necessarily healthy. That attitude of American doing everything right or better than everyone else is apparent specially first generation immigrants who are still riding the high horses, like the author in her early days.

Only when I had the first bitter taste of having the first series of failures did I bother to find out that not everything that I think is right is right, and there is not one true highway. People have different ways of living a life. Thinking everyone who doesn't live or think the style that I do is worse than me (especially the people and family back in the home country), is the one thing that will lead me to my ultimate demise. It got me to the utmost lonely, singled out, outcast feeling that I have ever experienced, despite how many likes and support I get on social networks because of my popular idea.
Again, that's across all cohorts, with significant variation by education, income, and age... which is why high-level statistics like that are horribly misleading: it doesn't tell the whole story by a mile.

No, not really. Storing the user's data as is is almost always of paramount importance. The fact that it may be output as HTML/XML/MarkDown/whatever means that it really is at output-time that you must sanitize/escape/quote.

That's why the moral of the Bobby Tables story isn't: "Oh, just remove all semicolons". It's "use prepared queries".
Why wouldn't Clojure compete with go or nim?

Go and Nim are both mostly used for backend services, long running processes deployed inside docker instances, etc.

I agree it competes a little less then it does against Java, C#, et all. But it still does, in that there's overlap for what projects they'd be good candidate for.

The architectural Achilles' heel of the 9900 is the obtuse excessive use of memory bandwidth. It specifies a workspace pointer, which points to an area of memory to be used as registers.

What makes you think that the women liked him, or that he thought they liked him? They were pitching to him, that's a business transaction. He himself said he leveraged a position of power in exchange for sexual gain, and the linked article mentions groping and harassment with unwanted sexual propositions.

Apologies, but I'm not claiming that you think that there is no amount of evidence that can satisfy a claim against a powerful person. My issue was that the claim:

> When it involves rich or powerful people, the ability to get many she-said's becomes easier.

when taken at face value is implying (indirectly) that it takes more "she-saids" to make a claim against a rich/powerful person believable than it would for a "normal" person.

It doesn't even have to have anything to do with women. It just implies that even multiple claims by separate parties might not be enough when the target is someone rich or powerful (or famous) if it's a "my word against yours" type situation. From my point of view, that's just giving more power to the rich or powerful.
That's a pretty bold and ultimately misguided assumption.

What's the story behind this?
I'd like to point out that, sadly, not all tinnitus is caused by hearing loss.

My tinnitus started despite being young and having subjected myself to far fewer loud noises, including concerts, than the average person. My doctor believes that mine is likely due to a neurological issue, but that we will never know the true cause. To satisfy our own curiosity (and determine if we could attempt to treat it with steroids, which is possible during the few weeks after the onset of tinnitus induced by hearing loss), we had my hearing tested. As expected, absolutely no hearing loss.

As others have said, I felt suicidal during those first few weeks. Thankfully, I've since learned to live with it.
The article repeats points like this quite a few times:

> I like hearing my music at loud volumes, as everyone does.

I don't think this is true. A lot of people like going to the kinds of events that have loud music, but I've seen a lot of people who don't like the volume. One obvious example: most of the weddings I've been to recently turn into dance parties, and the volume creeps its way up and up. As this happens, a lot of the guests start moving farther from the speakers, off the dance floor, and eventually out of the room. Dancing: lots of fun. Ear-splitting volume: not necessarily.

At my wedding, we picked a great band and kept the music at a comfortable level, and most of the guests danced the whole time and even the non-dancing guests clustered around the dance floor. I can't prove causation, but I bet the tolerable volume had a lot to do with it.

So maybe the real solution is for people to start trying to figure out why the norm for concerts is to have the volume painfully loud. It's possible that guests just might enjoy them more with quieter music.

I cannot recall where, but I remember reading about this. Based on associated products women buy occasionally they will sometimes get coupons for things like diapers and baby formula while they are pregnant before they know. My guess is that anytime a woman changes her shopping habits the marketers send some stuff her way because even a miss ratio of 90% could still be profitable.

It isn't always accurate, I know a girl that is very not pregnant but gets these things anyway. She babysits occasionally and I suspect that combined with her Baker's card and Walgreen's card give the mass marketing gurus all the information they need to know that she sometimes cares for kids.
What you say is true, yet false.

While you can use Clojure for script, or performance heavy tasks, or embedded systems, I think it's pretty obvious it's not the right tool for those, at least not yet.

If you want to mess around with scripts, performance heavy tasks or embedded systems, sure you can use Clojure, but if you are serious about any of them, it wouldn't make sense. You'd turn to languages that are better suited.
The title is good. The performance is limited and number of examples is not enough to make any useful conclusion.

I completely agree. You could even tell from the picture of the spectrum above that the "reconstruction" was not a success. The spectrum looks like it's been reconstructed by a flat extrapolation of the amplitude of the last frequency known.

Richard Dawkins' The Selfish Gene very elegantly explains the evolution of cooperative/altruistic behavior through analyzing the dynamics of gene selection. It's a great read for anyone interested in the finer details of evolution. The main takeaway is that cooperative behavior in organisms can be understood as genes encouraging their own proliferation by increasing the fitness of its copies in other organisms; a gene to help my brother is really a gene helping itself.

I agree. I love dancing, especially to live music. And I'm a musician myself.

But I avoid restaurants and places with live music unless the sole purpose is dancing. They advertise live music as a feature but sadly I treat it as a negative.

Maybe it's just me, but I have never been at a restaurant/bar playing live music where I've thought "this is playing at exactly the right level of volume."

Vue simplifies a lot of the "data propagation" from what I've seen of React. I loved React's vdom and props, but just felt the syntax for props (e.g. `.setProp({name: val})` was excessive boiler plate. Vue simplifies that aspect with reactive props and data, its just more intuitive for me than React. One big improvement is the really nice system for `computed` and `watch` properties which reactively transform data. Your templates (jsx or the default html-directives, which I prefer) can rely on `computed` properties to transform from say an Dict to a list for say a list of `li` components. It gives a nice "raw input data -> reactive data transforms -> reactive html repr` flow.
Can't imagine this was due to a hack of their systems. Seems more like an (ex)employee took a data dump and released it. Or it could be spear fishing.

Well, I have always wanted a vacuum chamber - I think you could also try making your own solar panels if you managed to dope your own silicon. The fun part about that kind of equipment, though, is that you can often get passably-functional DIY models by slapping some off-the-shelf parts together in/around an enclosure. I was thinking of doing that with a thermal cycler, but I wound up finding an old used one for cheap.

Correct, but you had the option to use fast (external) SRAM for the area which held the registers. Even so, the 64K limit was the bigger problem.

Actually 8088 really had a huge advantage: easy to port CP/M apps to the IBM-PC. Even if the 68K was ready to go, 8088 was probably the better choice.
Additional reading that provided much needed (for me, at least) scientific context around the condition: http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2017/04/03/high-tech-hope-...
My thinking is this is a good GAN problem. L2 norm will have these bad trivial upscalings as local minima - since L2 in time domain is the same as L2 in frequency domain, you can think in the frequency domain that it basically has this big black area to infill from very little information. If you had some sort of perceptual similarity, on the other hand, there will be lots of adjacent improvements in quality that will reduce the error and make it easier to train. I think this matches the results seen in image upscaling, too.
> makes your own economy better off

just because the overall economy is better off (often measured in GDP) doesn't mean it is better off for all existing residents (e.g. GDP/capita).. even from a pure free-market perspective, distribution of wealth is not so market driven especially in the short term and when massive distortions deliberately exist in the marketplace (regulation, patents, near-monopolies, barriers, etc.)

No benefits? That’s bit like saying that security screenings at airports offer no benefit to anyone. While security screenings are inefficient and could be improved, that doesn’t mean they offer zero benefit.

Also what’s the likelihood of the NSA blocking your flight or making you disappear in the night? You probably should fear crossing the street more in terms of statistical likelihood of harm.

I get the privacy/freedom arguments however the hyperbole around this stuff is getting ridiculous as the fears are badly supported by actual data and statistical significance.

More people drowned in swimming pools last year than were “disappeared” by the NSA but there seems little hysteria around swimming pools. I pretty sure most of us don’t know a single person on a no-fly list.
