Are you serious? US has been ther for over a decade now. One of the US goals is to promote democracy and education of women to detract from taliban ways which indeed help the US perogative, rightfully so IMHO. Even if you agree with the 'travel ban', it seems completely counter productive, careless, disrespectful, and destructive for the state department (or other powers that be) to not handle such scenarios with care and elegance. But I guess that's bureaucracy for you. Exactly one of the reasons why some were opposed to the ban to being with.

Key points of the paper:

> Overall, the results indicate the need for caution when moving towards ’blind’ recruitment processes in the APS, as de-identification may frustrate efforts aimed at promoting diversity.

> What we found is that de-identifying applications at the shortlisting stage of recruitment does not appear to assist in promoting diversity in hiring. In fact, in the trial we found that overall, APS officers generally discriminated in favour of female and minority candidates.

> It... means that introducing de-identification of applications in such a context may have the unintended consequence of decreasing the number of female and minority candidates shortlisted for senior APS positions, setting back efforts to promote more diversity at the senior management levels in the public service.

>That "layer of indirection" changes it from a personal attack to a statement of fact.

So if instead of calling you an ass, 'mixmastamyk has said to you "many people would think you're acting like an ass for commenting like this" -- would that also be something you wish people had said you back in the day? Or are you so convinced of the value of your "advice" that you wouldn't care what many people would think?

EDIT:

>I wish someone had said it to me back in the day. If someone had, it would have saved me a lot of pain.

I am genuinely sorry that people treated you so badly for asking questions.

I agree, but I do also wish Lennart understood that too.

The "bounce" animation is, in my mind, just a bit of fun.
The entire news industry is in dire straits so clickbait is only going to get worse. I remember it was just 10 years ago, the news industry was desperately trying to game the SEO to stay afloat, now they have entire social media teams dedicated to clickbaiting headlines and spamming stories on social media. WaPo got a huge cash infusion from Bezos ( AMZN founder ) and they hired a bunch of social media "experts" so they will be at the forefront of the new clickbait norm. Despite Bezos' assertions, he is going to expect "dividends" from his investment in WaPo.

Whereas other industries fully recovered from the financial crisis via cheap debt, the news industry only stopped the bleeding. Their wound hasn't healed and only that cheap debt goes away, the blooding letting in the industry is going to happen again. So you can't blame them for trying any desperate tactic to stave off layoffs/collapse/etc.

But if you think about it, the news industry has always been at the forefront of clickbait. In the late 1800s, during the heyday of yellow journalism, Hearts and Pulitzer intentionally lied and pushed clickbait via their news properties. If you were around during 2000, you know that the news industry feasted on the Y2K scaremongering clickbaits.

I think the clickbait was always there. It's just now, people are more aware of it.
Right, the US project for 15 years now has been explicitly to destroy their traditional society via, amongst other things, emancipating their women. My question is why I or other Americans should care about that goal.

It seems like a travel ban is a really effective way to make sure that we don't in fact need to care how they run their society.

What an ugly thought. I don't know where to begin addressing you.

First, why must we help the oppressed when their local oppressors aren't concerned? Is this what you're asking? You can't possibly be serious.

Second, just because a majority of Afghani men believe something doesn't mean they all do. Those girls presumably had some support in pursuing robotics. It's more than likely the men in their family are supportive.

If there's one thing I would expect everyone to agree on, it's that helping those girls is a noble goal. They are competing on an international level despite living in an environment that stifles their creativity and freedom.

That's the same logic used by advertisers to plaster every square inch of the world with ads. Yet how many people here on HN use spam filters on their mail, ad-blockers in their browsers and commercial-skipping functions on their DVRs?

Perhaps your method works, perhaps it's not against any rules, but I have to say that find it to be morally dubious at best. I sincerely hope that it does not see wide adoption.
Firstly nobody's seriously talking about independence of the BIOT yet, simply for the islanders having a right to return. The US also has an important military base in Guam, but somehow over 100k people manage to live there.

There's plenty of land left on the island where these people can live, they're not demanding independence or that the military base have to leave.

My comment was made in the context that even if the BIOT were to become independent, this doesn't sound like a big deal for the military base. It's very likely that if that were to happen the US could simply offer them the same deal that the independent Marshall Islands and two other island republics have:

It's worse than that: HHS has to tell the DEA "there is a medical use for this" for the DEA to reschedule something at their command. The trick?

Footprint of freedom? Come on. Why do we have to do that? As a naive little kid, maybe it would make me proud. As a rational adult, it's so cringeworthy and childish and pathetic. Especially when you learn that the island/atoll was basically stolen from the people and the people were forcibly expelled by the british just so that we can play world police.
Some vegetarians in developing countries do not have a B12 problem (which also causes anemia) because their food and water are more dirty, and there (B12) bacteria producing. For those vegans at least, their best bet is to accidentally eat enough food contaminated with bacteria or feces to consume decent quantities of B12.

I've been using tiling window managers for over 10 years, and for this time has been spent on ratpoison (after brief stints with wmii, awesome and dwm).

Despite i3/xmonad/bspwm/etc/etc I keep going back to ratpoison for two features I haven't found elsewhere:

- chained key commands, a la emacs. E.g., I use C-a b to open a bash terminal. I do use non-chained commands, like Mod4+n to go to the next window, but chained key commands can be much easier to do one-handed, and so far it seems ratpoison is the only to offer built in support for this.

- manual window arrangement. I don't care for the window layouts most tiling WM's since dwm/xmonad seem to use.

Until I see those features in another wm I'll probably remain one of the handful of ratpoison users.

For someone who's on a first-name basis with Gödel, you should review your logic.

The incompleteness theorems hold for any formal system whatsoever, regardless of order. They are simple corrolaries of the halting theorem. First order logic is indeed complete in the following sense: A sentence of FOL is provable iff it's valid, i.e. true in all interpretations. But according to the incompleteness theorem, logical theories (sets of axioms) of a certain richness would always yield sentences that are true in some interpretations and false in others, or, alternatively, that are neither provable nor disprovable (and first-order Pano arithmetics and obviously all formal set theories are among them).

Order and other particulars of a formal system are irrelevant, and indeed Gödel was only fully satisfied with his incompleteness theorems after he read Turing's famous paper on computability, and regarded it a "miracle" (as it applies to any formal system, and depends on none).

Obviously, many quantitative problems are unsolvable as a direct result of the halting theorem, and more generally the time-hierarchy theorem (which states that there are problems of any arbitrary difficulty), as many decidable problems are still unsolvable due to intractibility.

Part of the problem, I suppose, is that it's very hard to figure out what value an employee contributes with. Making salaries transparent is perhaps rational, but it only gets you that far. If the other half was a solved issue, I don't think there would be much in the way of making salaries open, but as it stands, doing so just makes it painfully clear how broken our ability to measure worth is.

What makes you think britain cares about their misdeeds? They've done so much worse than in diego garcia, but they still parade around like they did the world a favor.

Since when did britain care about rules? R

At the end of the day, it's about money and power.

Deflationary is what you meant.
Cetaceans are thought to have evolved from semi-aquatic land mammals. (Prehistoric hippos, more or less.) It seems reasonable to assume that traits like larger lung capacity and higher CO2 tolerance were gradual, incremental gains that allowed these animals to venture further and further off-shore to hunt, or allowed them to stay submerged for longer and longer periods of time. Those with the mutant traits outcompeted the rest, and this process was cumulative. Whether concurrently or shortly thereafter, evolution transformed hands and feet into flippers.

To this day, whales have vestigial arm, wrist, hand, and finger bones in their front flippers. Baby whales of certain species are also born with a very light amount of fur, which they shed a few weeks after birth.

Cetacean evolution is a fascinating topic.
In many jobs, there is a wide spread of productivity.

The best programmer is worth quite a bit more to the company than an average programmer. The best salesperson is the same way.

The best major league pitcher or quarterback is worth quite a bit more to their franchise than the average or the best minor league/second string replacement.

Why should someone producing more value for their company be paid the same as someone producing less?
Then why are you doing it? Serious question. Is the pay so far above average that it's justified to sacrifice your health, or is the job market too tight to get a less cruel job?

> Here's another idea, why I'm throwing them out: referees should be given an option to have a larger payoff with a short duration of a referee report -- say, two weeks -- while also agreeing to pay if they don't finish a report within two months, with a fee increasing incrementally each month. And would need to provide their credit card information in advance.

I have to admire the author for having the courage to suggest an outlandish idea.

Nevertheless, what this would result in, in principle, is in crappy reports sent just before the deadline.

In practice, if any journal asked me for my credit card information, I would pointedly inform them that I would have nothing do with that journal ever again. I'm an academic mathematician; maybe an economist would not be so triggered so rapidly?

It seems like the real problem is that there are not enough "soft incentives" for refereeing well. This is, in my opinion, a cultural problem. Journal editors (i.e., the people who request referee reports) are generally among the most respected people in their fields, and so in principle doing an unusually good or bad refereeing job should lead to making an impression on said people. Nevertheless, unfortunately, it doesn't seem to matter a lot.

There are plenty of people who do a good job of refereeing, but it is usually out of a sense of duty to the profession, and unfortunately there don't seem to be as many incentives as there could be to do it well.
Isn't this just queuing up the actual, real work on the event loop?

Of course its faster to call setImmediate a bunch of times to defer work, than it is to actually DO the work. It is useless to compare a synthetic benchmark for what is fundamentally a task that involves drawing something to the screen, without measuring the time it takes to finish all those tasks. The actual performance will, of course, be determined by how many DOM mutations are occurring, and the relative layout complexity of each. There will be a benefit for lots of really small, expensive mutations that could be batched together, but who designs their applications like that? Oh, wait...

At least, that's my understanding of looking at the source for a few minutes. Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see any real algorithm at work here, just work that is shifted around to make a benchmark look good.

A better benchmark would be to use this in a real world, non-trivial use-case somehow and measure the framerate. But I can save you the effort: It's not going to win out over a well designed application that does direct DOM manipulation. Period.
Assuming someone scanned my implants, they will only get encrypted data. They would also need the high entropy passphrase in my brain to make any use of it.

Assuming my HSM devices are damaged, (Or assuming I manage to forget my pin 3 times be it accidentally or intentionally), It would require more than my implant to reconstruct keys to my password manager data is encryptded to should I forget this high entropy passphrase.

It would also require finding multiple individuals that all live in different countries to obtain the needed Shamir's Secret Sharing peices.

I know a lot of people in a lot of countries and I highly doubt anyone is going to be able to identify the correct ones much less have the legal jurisdiction to compel them all to reveal their SSSS parts.

It allows me to honestly say it is not possible for me to decrypt the needed data.

In a more probable scenario than government actors coming after me... if I were to suffer a head injury these individuals could help me recover my access. If I were to die, they can ensure my assets are made available to others of my choosing.

Having an escape hatch made of distributed trust solves a lot of problems.
There's a movie coming out on the story of the 1967 Detroit riots.

http://www.freep.com/story/entertainment/movies/julie-hinds/...

I witnessed the aftermath two weeks later, buildings still smoldering and it looked like a war zone. I was with my grandfather, a lifetime Detroiter, who got emotional as we drove around.

Today on 12th street there's just a vacant lot where it all started. It's officially a park but one without a name or any official acknowledgement on that corner. I'd bet if you asked the neighborhood kids they wouldn't know its significance and that is sad, maybe the movie will change that.

> since it costs nothing to lose weight, it seems fair.

This is only a half truth. Starving yourself is free, but losing weight while still eating a variety of foods (most people can't stomach 24/7 lentils) on extreme financial (including preparation equipment) and time constraints (prep time, time to get ingredients) is nontrivial. Look at the nutritional content of the cheapest and most readily available food you can find (fast food, walmart-brand sausages, etc etc etc). It's typically full of fat and sugars. Higher-quality readily available foods are typically more expensive and harder to come by in poorer areas. Higher-qiality food you prepare yourself is an option, but learning how to do as such is nontrivial and the time investment to prepare these foods can be a major challenge for some.
