There are, not surprisingly, persons who actually truly really have chronic pain, and who benefit from use of opioids -- and miracle of miracles, some of those persons use the opioids responsibly and as directed. They may become tolerant of the medication (this is a biochemical/biological response to exposure to opioids and is NOT the same thing as addiction), but the medication can give the patient very significant relief from suffering. This type of patient should have access to opioids under the guidance of a knowledgeable physician, at whatever dose is necessary for relief of suffering.

However, this same medicine produces a sort of a buzz or feeling of euphoria desired by persons who are not truly suffering from chronic pain. Since in the USA (and many countries) opioids are restricted to prescription only and are not legally usable for the 'buzz', persons who seek this effect of opioids have 2 choices: (1) see a medical doctor and pretend to have pain that requires treatment with opioids, or (2) purchase an opioid through non-legal pathways, and assume all the legal and medical risks of doing so (arrest, incarceration, violence, inadvertent overdose via unknown content of purchased supply).

Also, in the good old USA, treatment for addiction is expensive and not available for those w/o medical insurance or other source of funding -- it is not a right or benefit of citizenship, but a private matter for negotiation with the service provider. So many persons who might benefit from addiction treatment are never treated.

So the 'blame' for the opioid crisis goes beyond drug manufacturers, and includes addicts themselves, the medico-legal system that drives addicts into doctor's offices to pretend to have pain to get an opioid prescription, the lack of treatment for many addicted persons, and the legal (public health) decision to treat use of opioids in the context of addiction as a crime and not a disease.

So don't just blame drug manufacturers. there is plenty of blame to spread around to other actors! JMHO.
There's an important difference between Linux and Windows, however: on Linux, "long" is always as wide as a pointer, while on 64-bit Windows, a pointer won't fit in a "long" or "LONG" or "DWORD".

But the real reason 64-bit Firefox is the default on 64-bit Linux, is that 64-bit Linux usually doesn't have the 32-bit compatibility libraries installed by default. On Windows, on the other hand, 32-bit compatibility libraries are always available.
The best one I know of? I'm not sure I'm the one to ask, but I think the advice in 'Smarter, Faster, Better' by Charles Duhigg makes a lot of sense. The book is about much more than leadership, and he tries to a least be somewhat scientific about what he talks about. The gist of what he says about leadership is that the best thing a leader can do is set the example of listening to the people his team, and make sure everyone has an opportunity to share their ideas. Just setting that example will encourage the team to listen to each other and work hard to come up with ideas, share ideas, and try to extract ideas from everyone else.
Well yes! Two things: You have a successful algorithm that runs in P time that solves an NP Hard problem and 2) you can map other NP Hard problems to your problem. Without the second factor, it is only a demonstration of a "range" in the computational realm in question, where p = np or whatever the declaration. Being able to show that your pizza slice is actually an ocean of pizza, and also show that any other shape of pizza slice can be appropriately transformed into the shape you have means p = np. a "solution." Or perhaps better put, it is a funnel through which complex computational patterns can either be reduced or simplified or elegantly correlated, approaching absolutely perfect parallelization of operations. This is just one way to look at it, but essentially intractability is an interesting term to consider.

Cat Fight: The Struggle to Save the Latest Migrants at the U.S-Mexico Border
I'm still pretty young yet I've experienced benefits solely from my gender.

My sister is smarter than me and better at math and physics than me. I was invited by my grade school to go to robotics camps over the summer, she wasn't. I was given special permission to take computer science courses not offered by our highschool, she wasn't. I was encouraged to to go into engineering by our guidance Councillor, she wasn't. My dad wanted me to go into engineering, he didn't really want her to. I didn't realize that any of this was happening at the time. It wasn't until years later that I was talking to my sister that she explained the countless opportunities and support that I had and she didn't. This all happened in a well off neighborhood in Canada.

So is it really any surprise that I'm the highly paid engineer while she is a school teacher barely scraping by? The status quo still benefits people based on race and gender.

Just like you can't fart in public and charge bystanders for the scent - you can't broadcast facts into the public and expect people not to recall them. I mean, you can. But good luck with that!
Yeah, context is very important. I just posted that as a reply to

> My current working theory is that the FBI was investigating the Kronos malware, caught one of the developers and/or sellers and they knew he was working with someone, but not who, and this redacted person didn't like MalwareTech for any myriad of reasons so he claimed, as an informant that the other developer was MalwareTech.
I'm going to ask a practical advice here. As a male teacher, what can I do in a classroom to encourage more female students for math/logic/programming? I sometimes talk about how there are great female software developers out there and how gender shouldn't be hindering their talent, but that's about it. And when a female student isn't performing well and being bummed, I can't do much other than general vague-sounding encouragement. At the same time, I don't want to sound too pushy. I live in a very sexist country compared to the US (Japan) and there's not much advice on this kind of things from other educators. Is there anything else that I can do to help the cause?
If you have probable cause getting a targeted warrant is not an issue. For or against Trump has exactly ZERO baring on that. If you want records for 1.3 million people you're in the realms of claiming there's a criminal conspiracy and a measurable fraction of adults in the USA are in on it.

Or you're doing dragnet on your political enemies.

It's wrong if someone working for Obama does it, it's wrong if Reagan does it, it's wrong if Hilary does it, it's wrong if _anyone_ does it. Including Trump. He's not special, he's the same whether you like him or not.

This paradoxical idea of sitting with and being close to the very things that make you suffer is central to Alan Watts' teachings, who westernized Zen Buddhism in a secular way. Robert Wright also talked about this very topic in a recent episode of Fresh Air.

I'm one of the developers for VsCodeVim, and many of the prominent vim plugins support most of these. I'll break down what vscodevim supports.

> text objects
Yes, cit, ciw, ci), etc. all work

> marks
Mostly. We don't have proper support for uppercase marks (across files and persistent), nor some of the less common autogenerated marks ('] for example).

> mappings
Works for most common mappings. Stuff like jj to <Esc>, space to <leader>, etc work, but there are definitely bugs in it.

> macros
Yes. Missing some stuff like the ability to execute any register as a macro (instead of just text), but otherwise works.

> ex-commands
Full support through neovim integration. Technically even supports any plugins through Ex-commands.

I've also been working on a PR for full neovim integration, https://github.com/VSCodeVim/Vim/pull/1897

Many of the other vim plugins also support many of these. VsVim is excellent, for example.

> So I'm not sure why you think processes are inherently safer than threads.

Because they remove the unsafe way of sharing state from the programmer. The issue isn't that state can be shared correct in threads, it's that it doesn't have to be done correctly and programmers are simply terrible at doing it right.

> There are a ton of threading models out there which don't rely on explicit locking, and there are even some that don't use locking, period.

It's not about locks, it's about shared mutable state. Programmers are bad at dealing with shared mutable state, regardless of how access is synchronized.
Although quick fueling is a selling point, I think the real advantage lies in use of an existing distribution system for energy in liquid form. This would facilitate widespread adoption of electric vehicles without requiring new purpose-built grid infrastructure.

If I understand correctly, this technology is a (perhaps better/more robust) flow battery into which one pumps fresh electrolyte after removing "discharged" electrolyte.

We now pump and convey by ship, rail and truck, liquid fossil fuels. Fresh electrolyte would be handled likewise.

The return loop for used electrolyte is already there. Gas trucks now return empty for refill. In many cases, an empty ship or train returns to a fuel source for refill. These could bring electrolyte back to recharging facilities. Whether these are powered by renewable or nuclear or other energy wouldn't impact the distribution system much.

Repurposing the existing fuel distribution to handle electrolytes doesn't seem prohibitive. It's something I hadn't considered, as I'm not used to thinking of electrical energy as a liquid I could deliver in a truck.

> The user agreement does not cover the "public" parts of Linked In,

I beg to differ. Their EULA covers "accessing or using" their site in any way shape or form, and defines the term "visitor" for what you're calling "public".

...

You agree that by clicking “Join Now”, “Join LinkedIn”, “Sign Up” or similar, registering, accessing or using our services (described below), you are agreeing to enter into a legally binding contract with LinkedIn (even if you are using our Services on behalf of a company). If you do not agree to this contract (“Contract” or “User Agreement”), do not click “Join Now” (or similar) and do not access or otherwise use any of our Services.

...

When you register and join the LinkedIn Service, you become a Member. If you have chosen not to register for our Services, you may access certain features as a visitor.
I like how you included the fact that he is a conservative activist since "severly editing" would have been enough, and that doesn't seem to be the case with DisruptJ20.

>DisruptJ20 countered that it had caught on to the Veritas operation and had thus fed its operative a false plot.
You know he must've been giggling as he came up with this.

In addition to the uncharacteristic legislative humor, it's also a good idea.
actually, that happens a lot, at least before the advent of the internet. Physical photos are not always available, and people's memories fade. This is why a lot of people still think of information in the old way - as time goes by, it might fade.

> Then you can pretty easily ask: civil rights protests? Using speech--and violence!--but not violating that contract.

You can say that now because you're on the other side of the history.

But put yourself in the dorm room of someone organizing one of the first lunch counter sit-ins. That organizer is using their speech to convince a group of people not to tolerate the segregation that made it illegal for them to sit non-violently in a public place.

Now imagine a potential activist who agrees with your first paragraph hears the speech of this organizer. Do you really think it's clear that potential activist will end up participating in the sit-in?

edit: clarification
I'm not sure what you mean by "appeal." But, it seems to me that if P = NP, and if we can find a constructive proof of this fact, i.e. someone presents a P-time algorithm A_L deciding an NP-complete language L, the field of CS in a sense would get much less interesting, because although we would have answered arguably the most important question ever posed, there would be much less of a need to research and develop efficient algorithms or approximation strategies. We'd probably just focus on trying to improve the runtime of A_L and the reductions from other NP languages.
Maybe this sounds too simple and not academic:

The more I am busy (with meaningful work) the less time I have time to feel bad about feeling bad or just thinking about this.

This doesn't mean one should escape into random work but that there maight be a slight correlation.
One device not specifically mentioned by the article is my personal favorite, the "Cole Drill", named after Cole Manufacturing which seems to have originated the concept. Google for image, but its basically a portable, manual drill-press with a ratcheting mechanism. I was unaware of their existence until sometime last year, but it has become one of my favorite tools. I had always desired some kind of small drill-press for doing random wood/metal/pcb work, and the Cole Drill fits the bill perfectly. It is also unique in that the feed is advanced with a threaded sleeve which makes it possible to exert upwards of 1000 lbs. on the bit, making it ideal for drilling hard materials. I've yet to come across a standard motorized press that could do this. Yes, its slow compared to a power feed, but i can't store a Delta under the sink in my tiny ass apartment either.
Well, you could start by supporting women and their opportunity in the field. You could corroborate and help report cases of sexual harassment. You could help predominantly male offices self-police on inappropriate workplace behavior (less talking about dicks, for example).

You can help establish salary baselines so women can identify unfair behavior.

Those are somewhat passive. If you want to be a net positive instead of just not a net negative in this equation, offering mentoring services to women in your field who may have had less opportunity than you is a good idea. Many organizations are eager to offer those opportunities but short of trustworthy professionals willing to donate time.

There is of course other simple things business owners can do. For example, not considering nursing rooms a luxury. Making time in people's schedules for child care (which affects many more women in the west than men, but still benefits men). There's also benefit leveling. For example, leveling paternity and maternity leave means that women are less "special" in these benefit packages, which helps prevent unfair punishment to them.

There really is quite a lot people can do.
If you use master instead of the current release that example goes from about two mins to just under one minute for my machine.

Also, if you use .subst(‘y’, ’n’) instead of a regex it runs in under 9 seconds locally. Thats still much slower than perl 5 (which locally takes less than half a second) but they’re making great strides at improving performance.
Simulating these interactions over very long timescales is rather tricky. So, getting this right is very hard and must include not only energy calculations including rotation, but also full on General Relativity.

Remember, because you need a lot of energy to change a planets orbit and planets only very weakly interact things are more stable than you might think.

> I fully support this decision. If you're offering a service that is public, with the intent to your users that such information will be available publicly, you cannot then police what users of that data you consider to be "public" because it serves your business interest.

Obviously LinkedIn can't control the information itself. But this case isn't about the information in the abstract. It's about an HTTP request to a piece of private property, and how LinkedIn programs that private property to respond to an HTTP request. It's well-accepted that owners of private property can make it available to the general public, with whatever restrictions they please. 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.

Excellent! Great update. I run F.lux all the time, day or night. I recently attempted to switch to Night Shift but it's much less effective.

May they manage to find a rewarding and stable business, they've done my eyes and I an important service. Before F.lux, I had strained "computer eyes". It was a drain on my energy and made me grumpy. It is no more.

> you can't broadcast facts into the public and expect people not to recall them

That's a straw man, that is not the issue here. LinkedIn is not recalling the data, they asked to stop HiQ from scraping and collating their data and using it for their own business.

This is already in the EULA, so what HiQ is doing may already be breaking the law.

8.2 Don'ts You agree that you will not:

k. Develop, support or use software, devices, scripts, robots, or any other means or processes (including crawlers, browser plugins and add-ons, or any other technology or manual work) to scrape the Services or otherwise copy profiles and other data from the Services;

m. Copy, use, disclose or distribute any information obtained from the Services, whether directly or through third parties (such as search engines), without the consent of LinkedIn;

ae. Use bots or other automated methods to access the Services, add or download contacts, send or redirect messages;

Facebook's next-generation VCS in Rust
I tend to agree with GP that this is suspiciously simple. I've only skimmed it, but the novel part of the proof appears to only be Thm 5-6 which is less than 10 pages, and it's not especially dense writing. So this would be a relatively simple proof. Moreover, the technique used appears to be rather incremental over known techniques, so it's surprising it would be strong enough to prove PvNP which is so far away from the frontier of known techniques.
There is no reason to think we will be using grossly non-directional broadcast EM waves in 50 years for communication, and certainly not in 100 years. It's far more likely we will have extremely high bandwidth over very low distances, since that allows for far more bandwidth in aggregate (since you aren't interfering with other users on the same spectrum).

Or we might have moved on to laser (highly directional) or something nobody has thought of yet. I promise you we won't be using some kind of nondirectional, multi trillion watt carrier-based radio contraption that we would have to be using to be spotted by something like SETI on alien world.
I think recognizing why we feel a certain way is important but a little different than what the article is discussing at face value. A lot of what the article discussed seemed to describe people feeling added emotional stress because of a reluctance to believe that the negative emotions afflicting them were okay (for lack of a better term). It's like the difference between struggling to swim out of a powerful current versus simply letting it carry you and waiting for the lifeguard because you know you're already caught. Granted, you should probably signal the lifeguard but that breaks the metaphor.
Your bluetooth speaker setup works great for precisely your scenario - the speaker is paired with one only device.

It gets wonky if that single speaker has paired with multiple devices before. For example in a home, where you've paired it with your laptop, phone, iPad, etc. Try it out. Audio will cut off sometimes suddenly when it decides to switch pairing partners as another paired device appears in range.
