Ok, they're not entirely harmless (e.g. if you fly into an hailing embedded thunderstorm at low altitude). But overflying one at cruising altitude is 100% safe.

E.g. the plane in this story flew through the eyewall of a hurricane at 1,500 feet. A commercial jet flies at a cruising altitude of up to 45,000 feet.

TrustedID is an identity protection company that's been around for awhile (many companies use them as the contracted company to do credit monitoring after a breach). TrustedID is actually owned by Equifax (who were just hacked.. irony), and so my guess is that "TrustedID Premiere" is a newly created offering from Equifax/TrustedID to deal specifically with this major breach.

It's incredibly difficult to measure what does and does not cause cancer. In reality it's an aggregate of your genetics and how you lived your life, plus a big helping of luck.

As with all "cancer-causing" substances it's worth being more clear. Firstly, the official advice is that processed meats (that involve curing, smoking, etc) and red meats (beef, lamb, goat and pork) increase your risk of cancer. It's not a blanket "meat contains carcinogens" as far as I can tell (chicken seems to be fine - no doubt the Daily Mail would say otherwise).

The actual risk in the study is a +18% chance of colon cancer, but the average risk is only 5%. If you ate 4 slices of bacon a day, your risk goes up to 6%. That may well be a statistically significant number, but as an individual +1% is well in the noise where other factors could dominate. There is an increased risk for other cancers, but I don't have the numbers and I guess they were lower.

Well say goodbye to women serving as patrol officers. Also, elbows, knees, and fists are lethal weapons, just ask Eric Garner.
CoreML supports Keras but not TensorFlow because Keras models form a well-structured subset of all possible TensorFlow graphs. It would be quite difficult to support completely arbitrary TensorFlow graphs, but supporting every Keras layer is relatively straightforward.

To answer your question: I had no knowledge of this ONIX project before the public announcement today. Speaking purely for myself, if I wanted to develop a universal model exchange format, the first step I would take would be to get in touch with the makers of the frameworks that sum to 80-90% of the market share -- TF, Keras, MXNet. But maybe such a strategy was thought to be superfluous in this case -- for instance, because ONIX may not actually be intended as a universal model exchange format.
There's probably no reason cuttings should be different than a whole plant as they don't have any fundamental difference. Unless the roots themselves have an importance in the process (since the cuttings will then grow new "inexperienced" roots) but I doubt it.

I'm more intrigued by what would happen with grafts.

Does rootstock transmit memories ("memories") to a scion, does a scion transmit memories to rootstock, does it work with interspecific grafts, does it work with intergeneric grafts? Do multiple scions transmit memories between each other?
It was more core to the system than just the factories/companies distinction. If you allow downstream consumers to refuse products, and penalize upstream suppliers if their output isn't usable, then you have a market system, whatever label you want to attach to it. (Even if it does not include private ownership!) A functioning planned economy, on the other hand, has to encode all of these requirements in the central plan, which Soviet and Eastern Bloc experience suggests is computationally and organizationally infeasible.
European countries don't have a Constitution with the right to keep and bear arms, or the armed populace that resulted from it. Barring a Constitutional convention to repeal the 2nd Amendment and likely civil war, the only possible result to disarming American police would be that the police would just be easier to shoot.
Suppose Alice is a "victim of identity theft". BigBank gives $10k to Fraudster as a loan, thinking that Alice is the actual recipient. Experian, Transunion and Equifax report this loan as a debt which Alice owes to BigBank.

Who is the real victim? The credit reporting agencies want to convince people that the consumer is the victim, and so Alice bears the burden and risk of clearing her name. But it is the credit reporting agencies inflicting this upon Alice. BigBank is the victim who lost money, and BigBank bears the responsibility for making the mistake of giving out a loan in Alice's name. The Fraudster committed a crime against BigBank, not against Alice. It is Experian, Transunion and Equifax, by holding this fraudulent loan against Alice, who are victimizing Alice.

The idea that Alice was victimized by Fraudster is a concept being perpetuated by the credit reporting agencies as a way to absolve themselves of responsibility, and place the burden upon the consumer, and to avoid realistic identity-verifiction which might slow or complicate the practice of issuing large amounts of debt to the general public.
So if an identity thief has enough of my information to potentially open a new line of credit, wouldn't they also have enough information to reverse the freeze?

In other words, is a freeze enough to stop new accounts from being created?
Well, yes, this was in response to this incident. While they're just making a public statement now, we know from their own press release that the breach occurred in May.

Regardless, it's certainly prudent to be wary of these sites since they're pretty indistinguishable from phishing sites.

It does. That's what those words mean. I didn't say I would find them evil (which is what you're claiming I meant). You haven't asked me how I feel about any particular economical-political theory.

Nice for Equifax that this happened before GDPR is enforced and they would have been fined 4 per cent of turnover.
This is very clearly what's going on. Fraud is uncommon enough and the cost of fraud to the banks is smaller than the cost of reducing the velocity of money and loan-making, so the problem will never get fixed so long as it depends on the banks to initiate the fix.
Also the hurricane hunter WP3s (and the USAF equivalent WC130s) all have 3-point harnesses (or better) for all seats. That's pretty important for passenger safety in turbulence. Passenger airplane lap belts leave a lot to be desired when dealing with strong turbulence.
Stores compete with each other. While it might be great if retailers limit what people can buy, they have to punish themselves to do it. So it's not a very useful expectation.

I'd rather rely on those who've been delivering everything efficiently already than wait for the government to do it.

It's not clear to me that government doing this costs us less. Most of the cost is hidden away in the federal budget. At least when I am paying a high price for gas, I am paying for the actual cost of getting it to me, including paying for logistics.
You may need to watch out for the fair credit reporting act in generated these profiles.
Endless sequels, remakes and adaptations aren't necessarily a bad thing - it's just that they are sequels made without having good ideas for sequels, and remakes/adaptations done worse than the last time.

I really hope that the big rise of crappy Cinematic Universes trying to cash in on where Marvel have succeeded won't kill the idea of continuity in Film for a time afterwards. So many of the adaptations are terrible precisely because they try and cram novels/series/games/whatever into a single film and end up with something with no time to be good. Allowing films to take time to explore smaller parts of a bigger plot is a good thing, provided it is done well.
Typically giving rent seekers political office is a terrible idea.

I think he means that you seem to be speaking for all of the Ruby community (that is, people who write Ruby code). I've personally seen that not all of the Ruby community writes tests, because I've seen Ruby code that doesn't have tests.

Thank you for your charitable assumptions. You might be even more charitable and state what's wrong with what I said.

My understanding is, 1, that every newly-created cons pair requires an allocation, 2, that every new list entry is a new cons pair, and 3, that you can avoid creating them but you have to keep a very careful eye on your code in order to do so - the normal way of writing code will cons frequently.

Which, of those statements, do you consider to be wrong, and why?
Add Sametime to that list, ugh.
Doing some junky googling, estimates for how many Americans have a credit card sits in the ~160-180million range.

In other words, when they say "143 million US customers" they really mean "the vast majority of Americans with a credit card".

Astounding.
Each of the credit reporting agencies has a process for requesting your credit report by snail mail. The form is hidden away on the various websites, but it has generally worked for me when the online form didn't work (it turns out another person's delinquent loans and CCs were in the report that they were using to test that it was me).

Not as free, since you need to buy envelopes / print the forms / photocopy your ID / get stamps / wait X weeks, but as free as it gets when the online system doesn't work.

But I was considering modern C++ compared to, for example Rust. I'm not sure if the memory safety issue that Rust solves still exists as strongly with a purely modern C++ codebase...but then again I never run into those either.

This is the best definition I saw posted. The best sales pitch I've seen for Vagrant is that it lets you create a config ("Vagrantfile") from which you can build a virtual machine.
