This is a fall in line bill. In my office on Capitol Hill that was our name for legislation that leadership has agreed to, is all ready to go, and there's little to argue that will go anywhere so...just fall in line. Interesting footnote to history: The Republican leadership, from 94 - 06, steamrolled over everyone with legislation. When the Democrats took over from 2006 - 2010, they turned the tides and began ramming bills through without giving much, if any, time to read and analyze. A Republican pledge after they won big in 2010 was to mandate posting of a bill to the web three days prior to debate on the Floor, and other "time to read" ideas. I guess we've come full circle to Republicans preventing Democrats from reading. I'm afraid to see what the Democrats do when they eventually take over; the cycle of things.
Not sufficient; you will also need to worry about timestamps.

Stack Buffer Overflow Zero Day Vulnerability Uncovered in Microsoft Skype
I wish that articles like this would release some of the data; even if it was just their reduced 16 dimensions, I'd love to redo their clustering but optimize compactness somehow.
I'd expect my assistant to know a fair amount about me and the current context. Using those clues a human can pick out what I really care about, at least in most cases. Even when there is a list of responses I'd expect an assistant to give a better summary when asking for clarification.
There is some truth to what you are saying. I'm not a beginner so I probably can't appreciate how hard it is to learn new syntactical features. My experience is I've found it pretty easy to learn new ones from my peer's code, but I struggle with actually forcing myself to teach myself new and more complex language features when the existing ones work so well for me.

I'd say Swift is probably harder to learn than it could be because of how much syntax for common features has changed over major releases.
It was. Very professional, considering it was all anonymous. But there were high standards and major findings had to be verified before being disseminated.

I was told it was selected because it can be dialed in the dark - just go all the way way with the rotor three times. I've always found that 999 sounds like an emergency, the biggest number. 112 seems absolutely arbitrary to me.
Article says the cassette tape was released to music fans in 1963, but really the cassettes and players at that time were mostly used for dictation and voice recordings only because the quality was not high enough for music. Cassettes did not start to be used for music until much later. Dubious reporting from WaPo.

Yup -

I had a friend tell me about how there was a group that wanted to see how much time do surfers actually spend surfing. It turns out, only 1% of the time they put into getting set up to surf a wave are they actually surfing waves. Still, it's a very fun sport. It seems like working up to that moment is very important and has some positive elements in itself.

That is similar to how using vinyls allows you to have some buffer before and after listening to music or a musical piece. You can't have the same high all the time. Similarly, you can't enjoy that one part of a song for 10 minutes. Similarly, you can't music playing all the time at the same level as you can enjoy some music (that you like) playing sometimes.
The current theory is that particles are waves, or rather localized excitations ('bumps') in a field. One of the surprising things from quantum theory is that these bumps have a finite minimum size, and they can only increase in multiples of that size; this unit is what we call 'a particle'.

This model seems to work (makes accurate numerical predictions, etc.) for all the known fields other than gravity, so physicists think there should be a 'graviton', ie quantum of the gravitational field. But they haven't been detected directly and we don't have a good mathematical theory of them (for a bunch of reasons I don't understand, but I think "gravity is really weak" and "gravity is nonlinear" are a good start)

But, from one perspective, that doesn't mean they don't have an Air Force as a top level service, it just means the PLA is the aggregate (like “Armed Forces” of many other countries) under which the top-level services exist.

As of when? I've taken a ton of flights on united and never had to pay a carry-on fee. I've seen such fees on airlines like spirit or fronteer, but never on a "non-discount" airline.
It is interesting and that is one thing that I didn't mention. You can do primary care as free or a HSA path. I think the states should offer an HSA so it isn't dependent on your job. Then you can use it for dental or checkups or whatever.

I think the only way to handle the the deterrent/incentive piece is to find a metric that can be used. BMI is worthless as people vary too much. The best thing in my opinion is HA1C levels, but use it as a discount on your premium. You can't cheat A1C and most of our chronic diseases and inflammation causes are caused by poor diet. This forces people away from that if they want the discount. The only problem is high carb diets are cheap (rice/pasta) and healthy diets are expensive (lean protein/vegetables).

The biggest thing we need to change is to remove all the middlemen from the system. Each takes a cut and adds to the cost without having value. The biggest problem with health insurance is it isn't event driven like death or a crash. How do we stop everyone from being on the cheap plan for emergencies and then switching to the best if they get cancer? (Although one piece may be in the incentivizing better diet reducing cancer risk). I do keep wondering if it makes sense to flip it and make that the emergency part is tax based and mostly free to the person. You can then make the deductible based on the person maintaining healthy stats. Never go to the doctor and eat junk? You pay 25% of the total cost. Eat healthy and go for routine check ups? You pay 5% of the cost. Tough to know without running numbers.

All tough questions with no easy answers.
To me, this looks like the bigger potential problem:

>U.S. Digital Service members join us for what we call a tour of duty. We are seeking candidates interested in joining the U.S. Digital Service fulltime, ideally for at least 12 months. In some cases, we can accommodate candidates who can only commit to a shorter amount of time. Three months is the minimum time commitment we can accommodate. All members of the U.S. Digital Service hold "term-limited" positions, which means that at the end of a prescribed term, the candidate's employment with that agency must end.

You have to move to DC -- without relocation assistance -- knowing that you're only going to work for USDS with an expiration date? Seems like that'd really shrink the net of candidates to me. I know it kind of kills my interest, personally.
Yikes, the font on that website is incredibly distracting. Hard enough that I went and downloaded Readability for Chrome just to get through the article.

I don't know, that's kind of like saying we shouldn't be bothered by slavery if the slaves in question were "bred" for that purpose and wouldn't have existed otherwise. Of course, the fact that line of reasoning is analogous to a line of reasoning with an intuitively repugnant conclusion doesn't necessary help us understand the original line, where our intuitions are generated, or if they're appropriate in the original example.

You might be interested in Parfit's Nonidentity Problem [0].

"The nonidentity problem focuses on the obligations we think we have in respect of people who, by our own acts, are caused both to exist and to have existences that are, though worth having, unavoidably flawed – existences, that is, that are flawed if those people are ever to have them at all. "

Well, an open challenge that might help someone understand what I actually think, at least along one axis:

Let's say I want to objectively evaluate the notion that there is such a thing as an arbitrary, self-declared, non-binary "gender" (or "gender identity") that can range across any number of "genders".

In that case, can you specify the set of propositions used to classify something as a "gender"?

Is your definition purely self-referential (cyclic)?

Does your definition exclude other social self-identifications, such as "goth" or "emo"? Why or why not?

Does your definition rely on references to "biological sex" (e.g. male/female)? If so, what are the sexes "male" and "female"?

Well the Wikipedia article on the subject is very instructive:

"The 9-9-9 format was chosen based on the 'button A' and 'button B' design of pre-payment coin-operated public payphones in wide use (first introduced in 1925) which could be easily modified to allow free use of the 9 digit on the rotary dial in addition to the 0 digit (then used to call the operator)"

So there were valid technical reasons, as well as 999 being harder to dial by accident.

This does not sound correct at all. A personal item and carry on are always free on legacy carriers like United. Are you sure this was not checked baggage?
The measure of a society is how it treats those lesser than them. That includes animals who are beasts of burden or food.

Quite simply, just because they are meant to be food does not mean they should suffer during their existence.
Only if someone is home. I've gone on long vacations before in the middle of winter. There is always the risk I will come home to find something broke and my pipes are frozen. I don't personally know anyone who has had this happen, but it is a real risk. Real enough that the local Home Depot has devices to warn you about this (often dial a specific phone number).
So true. I was even older than that when I first heard (today) of an "yaxe".

One could argue that the national forests and parks can be a new home for these animals if we stop messing with them. So the argument that they won't survive is a non-starter. Can these many animals survive? Probably not, but the species will. For ex., no one eats squirrels or mice but there are quite a lot of them around. In India, some stray animals (dogs, cats, cow, rats) just gaze out in the wild and live on their own. So it is totally possible.

If we really take any logical argument against meat eating to its root, we will be left with nothing to eat. Unless we manufacture artificial meat, we won't be able to live without killing/hurting some living being. Even if we can, one can then argue about lives of bacteria and we will be back to square one. When we don't have a strong moral argument against eating meat, there is no point forcing an entire society to follow some rules. What Indian govt is trying to do is going to hurt that society a lot in the long run.
Officially I think the only thing that can be said, has been said by Paul Messina: "I believe that the Aurora system contract is being reviewed for potential changes that would result in a subsequent system in a different time frame from the original Aurora system.

From the 2016 ITA Pharmaceuticals Top Markets Report:

>"In addition to a favorable IP and regulatory environment, U.S. laws allowing direct-to-consumer advertising creates immense demand for specific patented drugs. More importantly, the United States is the world’s largest free-pricing market for pharmaceuticals. As a result, prices are comparatively high to make up for lower profits in other countries and to cover R&D costs.

The United States also has high per capita incomes, unmatched access to healthcare, a large elderly population, a culture of end-of-life prolongation, high rates of chronic diseases and drug consumption and a strong consumer preference for innovative drugs.

All of these factors contribute to it being, by far, the world’s largest pharmaceutical market with $333 billion in sales in 2015, about triple the size of its nearest rival, China.

The United States will remain the world’s most important market for the foreseeable future with healthy growth expected across all product sectors."

As far as I recall, the secondary in an H-bomb is indeed compressed by the fusion boosted fission of the primary but this then initiates a fission reaction at the core of the secondary where there is a fission "spark plug". So the lithium deuteride fuel is caught between the incoming compression driven by the primary and outgoing explosion of the secondary spark-plug.

When the fusion fuel burns the resulting neutrons are used to fission the tamper of the secondary and it's this fission is the main energy source for most H-bomb designs.
What you saw was the engine-fuel burning on the ground; the hydrogen went straight up in flames and burnt no-one.

United is piloting a new program called "Basic Economy" for flights to Chicago and probably other cities, which effectively turns them into Spirit or Frontier Airlines. It's incredibly crappy. My guess is within a couple years all airlines will be doing this.

Interestingly the reason is analogue in nature. With pulse dialing a single pulse for a 1 could happen by accident quite easily (e.g. two lines knocking into each other). 999 can't happen accidentally.

Generally speaking, life is worth having even if it contains suffering, but there are limits. I like being alive, despite the bad times, but given the prospect of a lifetime spent locked in a cage, I'd rather be dead, and that, or something closely approximating it, is the fate of many farm animals nowadays.
It was the only number that could not be dialled by accident by letting go of the dial too early. The aim wasn't to dial quickly, it was to avoid accidental calls.

Rotary dials in New Zealand were the other way around (sending ten minus the number dialled pulses) so the emergency number there was (and still is) 111 for the same reason: the hardest to dial by accident.

> What irritates me is when people say classes are bad. Or subclassing is bad. Thatʼs totally false. Classes are super important. Reference semantics are super important. If anything, the thing thatʼs wrong is to say, one thing is bad and the other thing is good. These are all different tools in our toolbox, and theyʼre used to solve different kinds of problems.

Couldn't agree more
Lastly, just out of curiosity, in what form do you tend to see the genetic fallacy applied for or against ACC? I'm not sure I've encountered it.

Generally, a saying that because group X funded the study, or that person X that has Y beliefs did the study, that it's automatically invalid (without even trying to actually examine the claims in the paper).

You can see examples of that in this very thread. A variant of adhom, basically.

Why is the fact that they wouldn't have existed if not for our desire to eat meat a justification for their continued mistreatment?
I don't see how you can find it insulting. You pay less because you receive a lower level of service and that includes the pretzels.
In a natural world, these animals would have the choice to reproduce (or not). You're forcing them to reproduce and then saying, "Well, it's OK, because they wouldn't exist otherwise." If these animals truly wanted to reproduce in this environment, we wouldn't need to artificially inseminate them.

There are many species that stop reproducing depending on their environment. In zoos, this can be a big problem.

If it were humans in this situation, would you feel the same way? Is your treatment of them excused because you "allowed them to live"? Why is it OK to do this to a pig but not, say, a dog? Or a gorilla?

I wonder how Pale Fire by Nabokov would look after this sort of analysis. For the unfamiliar, per wikipedia, "Starting with the table of contents, Pale Fire looks like the publication of a 999-line poem in four cantos ("Pale Fire") by the fictional John Shade with a Foreword, extensive Commentary, and Index by his self-appointed editor, Charles Kinbote. Kinbote's Commentary takes the form of notes to various numbered lines of the poem. Here and in the rest of his critical apparatus, Kinbote explicates the poem surprisingly little. Focusing instead on his own concerns, he divulges what proves to be the plot piece by piece, some of which can be connected by following the many cross-references. Espen Aarseth noted that Pale Fire "can be read either unicursally, straight through, or multicursally, jumping between the comments and the poem."[4] Thus although the narration is non-linear and multidimensional, the reader can still choose to read the novel in a linear manner without risking misinterpretation."

My primate sense of fairness says that charging 100% of costs is actually a form of charity, 105% of costs is hyper-competitive, 110% of costs is quite respectable and meritorious, whereas 150% of costs is getting to be overly ambitious.

10000% of costs is, quite simply, asking for someone to put a shiv in your kidney.

The only way to achieve such margins is by literally suppressing all competition with armed force, with an unquenchable, non-substitutable demand. In the case of pharmaceuticals, the feds provide that force.

A nice thing about ARM is that you get lots of different micro-arch under a single ISA. Once the ball gets rolling there will be many processor choices to choose from, which I think is a great thing (however, in full disclosure I'm one of the authors, and I work for ARM Research for our HPC program..although all statements above are my own opinion and not those of ARM).
