Five Principles for Good Data Visualization
I fear that shallow stories like the one here just conceal the real problems and stir up FUD.

What does it mean that "an employee" of a nursing home / rehab facility accessed the records of almost five thousand patients? Some employees of such institutions have the duty to look at patient records to, for example, decide whether to offer these patients beds in their facilities. That can't be done properly without looking at the actual medical records: can the facility provide the prescribed physical therapy? occupational therapy? medications? wound care? If not, it's bad for the patient and the institution to accept the patient. That's the entire point of a medical record.

What was this employee doing with the records? Running betting pools on whether his favorite professional ball player would show up (no good). Trying to find his ex-wife's records? (no good). Trying to make sure his facility could care for them properly? (good). Sellling their home addresses and the dates of their transfers out of the hospital to thieves with moving vans? (no good, and a genuine problem.)

By the way, competent police read published obituaries and patrol the homes of families of deceased people during wakes and funerals because they know thieves do the same.

What the heck good does credit monitoring do? Most of these patients need the help of a family member to actually make sense of credit monitoring.

Oh, and it's unlikely any employee of a HIPAA-covered facility didn't get at least some confidentiality training. HIPAA and HITECH (ARRA 2009) patient privacy laws "pierce the corporate veil" and make officers and supervisors personally liable for intentional breaches.

The popular press needs to get better at this cybersecurity beat.

>They can speak their minds about anything they'd like, so long as they don't advocate for the suppression of the rights of others.

And one would posit that you could speak your mind about anything you'd like, so long as you don't advocate for suppressing their rights. From their perspective, what they are doing isn't even suppressing anyone's rights -- in their eyes, their God has mandated that doing so is _not_ a right. Everything is a matter of viewpoint, and in an alternate reality someone would be advocating for you to be silenced on the same basis.

To clarify: When compiling in 64 bits mode, the "long" type is 64 bits on gcc and 32 bits on msvc.

The other compilers vary. The C standard only specifies that int has to be at least 32 bits. That's one of the many issues of porting from 32 to 64 bits.
I only drank coffee regularly for a few months in my life and the past five years I've removed all caffeine (that I'm aware of) from my diet except for special occasions where I need to stay up for safety reasons, usually driving long distances (extremely rare). It definitely helps as I have insomnia. The insomnia did not go away, but I have noticed a huge improvement. When I do have caffeine it wires me up the whole day into the night, even if I drink it in the morning. I have no problems with energy or anything like that and also sometimes do the intermittent fasting the author talks about. All in all, I agree that it's a huge improvement. I'm also not dependent which is a huge plus and it saves money. I think it's definitely worth trying, especially for people that are consuming many cups of coffee throughout the day. Of course, as the author points out, if you are going to try it, make sure you get enough sleep. Focusing on getting enough sleep, I find, is a much better energy boosting technique (for the next day) than caffeine or anything else for that matter.

> There is no good reason to treat web servers differently than store fronts. LinkedIn should be able to control who accesses their web servers and how.

These two statements do not agree with each other. An owner of a brick-and-mortar shop can't (legally) stand out the front and bar black people from entering, for example.
LinkedIn never said the data was 'public' in the sense that you are using it. You are assuming that just because it can be accessed for free, by anyone with an internet connection, that it is therefore in the public realm. That is incorrect.
I don't know if this claim is true or false but I'm pretty sure that doing a study on this kind of thing is an extremely fraught enterprise. Edit: more so than even simpler psychology studies, many of which are coming back with problems.

How does one determine that someone is really "feeling bad about feeling bad" or whether they're satisfying some expectation of the experimenter or doing something else? And moreover, cause and effect can be slippery, maybe those with more extreme problems tend to be caused to do the thing the experimenter thinks is a mistake rather what they do having an effect.
> We now pump and convey by ship, rail and truck, liquid fossil fuels. Fresh electrolyte would be handled likewise.

A lot of refined petroleum is shipped by pipeline. If you live in, say, the DC area, then your gasoline is coming from crude oil refined somewhere in Texas or Louisiana and shipped by pipeline to a distribution terminal. The refuelling trucks are only traveling from the distribution terminal, maybe 20 miles or so, not all the way to the refineries.

According to <https://www.rita.dot.gov/bts/sites/rita.dot.gov.bts/files/pu..., pipelines carried 63.3% of refined petroleum products in 2009, and an even higher share of (79.8%) of raw crude oil. The numbers for crude are likely to be rather different for today thanks to the Bakken oil field (which happens to not be in a conducive place for the existing pipeline network), but I don't think that refined petroleum products are likely to be very different.

Something I wish my parents had told me when I was growing up:

You, the thing listening to this advice, is just a small part of a greater whole, much of which you (the thing listening to this advice) are not consciously aware of. This is because you were built by your genes to be good mainly at one thing: reproducing. That's all your genes care about. They don't care about your happiness or achievements or having a fulfilled life. In fact, they don't even really "care" about reproducing, except the same way that water cares about flowing downhill.

Your negative emotions are real. The pain you feel is real. But it's not you. It's something that is being done to you. In that regard it is exactly the same as physical pain, which is also not part of you, but rather something done to you. The fact that you're depressed is no more a character flaw than the fact that it hurts when you skin your knee.

What is happening is positioning and tactics, and honestly I think you have to play the tough card against him. The same way that Putin plays the "alpha male", Trump is doing the same. Moral of the story, don't take exchanges of tweets and sound bytes at face value. There is most certainly strategy and misdirection involved.
Protests in china are regulated by the government similar to other protests in USA where you usually notify local governments about the land you are on and have to ask for approval in some manner. If protests are approved, then they can be held which is what happens in China.

Thus documenting a protest in China that is legal would not be censored on Chinese media, however documenting an illegal protest and then broadcasting it on Chinese media is pretty risky as the government can crackdown on it much easier.

Moreover, Chinese government can censor footage about protests if it goes against their wishes so in the end it doesn't really matter.

I'd say that the "control" part here would be teaching yourself to stop denying that you're thinking/feeling something. A bear 5 ft away isn't going to be "controlled" by you closing your eyes and plugging your ears.

How can you change something if you're still denying it?

Surrounding workers with the noise, distractions, disease, and lack of privacy of an open office environment, and then telling them that — if they only practiced mindfulness for a few minutes a day, how much less stressed they'd be! — is grade A capitalist BS: the cost of mindfulness tutorials is < the perceived cost of better real estate. (And I use perceived, as I think most companies are weighing only the actual cost of the real estate; they are not considering the cost of lost productivity.)

If employers weren't stressing their employees so much, so unnecessarily, perhaps mindfulness would not be so needed?

(I write this on a 1 hour (one-way) train ride from work, for which the majority of the ride there was no available seating.)

(I will admit to not having read the entire article yet. But the above occurred to me, and felt relevant. Perhaps mindfulness works; the author seems to have gotten something from it. I never have.)
Is there any precedent for an EULA like that being enforced? Typically for a contract to be valid, acceptance has to be actively communicated. You can't be bound by a contract simply by someone saying that you have accepted it if you do something that you might have done normally.

Banning speech because you think the torches are coming for you is just a feel good measure. Only education and good people standing up to do the right thing can fix this. Let's get this right - I cannot stand these alt-right morons. They make my stomach turn. In reality however I just feel sorry for them and wish we as society could fix / education / heal whatever stupidity in their upbringing makes them act / think this way. No child is born racist. It is taught. A witch hunt to ban them just makes their persucution and anger complex worse.

No offense, but I can't believe that an additional action cam brings so much extra value. Bulky and has to be charged as well. My iPhone can record memories too. Battery doesn't drain fast when recording and I have 256GB storage and media is anyway uploaded to a cloud provided shortly after. If you get an Android phone with microSD you can get even more local storage.

And why should the video quality be better? The samples I see on Youtube are ok but better?

Yes, you can fix an action cam to your helmet or surf board but this is the only feature a phone lacks.
When Google announced the migration of 32-bit Chrome Windows users to 64-bit in May, they used 4GB as a minimum for 64-bit. That Chrome system requirements page doesn't specify whether there is a minimum memory requirement for 64-bit Chrome on Windows, but I would assume it is still the same.

FWIW, I note my own trigger for revisiting Perl 6, is the existence of a standards-compliant transliterating implementation of another language, say Javascript, written in Perl 6. No ambiguity, just "does it pass the validation suite?", and "how fast is it?". A decade of "it's usable now!" has left that sentence with little signal weight for me.

The idea is, at least as of a decade ago, it was straightforward to massage the then ECMA spec into Perl 6 code. The spec says "Go to step 4 ... 4. ..."? Well, "goto Step_4;... Step_4: ..." is code. And so on. Perl 6, at least as envisioned then, is a very nice language for language implementation. Implementation often goes like this: most of the language is easy, nicely compatible with the target; some of it is hard, requiring some struggle to impedance match; and tiny bit of it is impossible, or nearly so, or requires rewriting all the rest, because of "gotcha" conflicts with the target semantics. With a rich kitchen-sink target, almost everything becomes easier, and there's likely some hook you can use to get that impossible bit done. And when writing a compiler, (then, almost) general grammars, and multiple dispatch with type sets, is a nice place to be.

But the corollary is, when I don't see a compliant ES2017 transliterated to Perl 6, then I assume something is wrong - something isn't working yet - be it unfortunate spec, or "doesn't quite work yet at scale" implementation, or community.

I'm not sure what Amazon does (looks like they don't actually track) but from the consumer side you basically get a random item. Say you order a specific product, like a Macbook charger, Amazon sends you one from any number of vendors and you most likely get a counterfeit one and you have no idea who the product came from. Look at the reviews for a product like this you can often see a bimodal distribution of people who got a legit item and people who got junk.
