You left out "not in a relationship" which I would give a %90 reduction in odds. Which is a major point here. Because you see people at a bar I wouldn't assume they are single.

That comment on the bsd one from theo is rather funny.
My girlfriend needed to be texted everyday otherwise she would turn sour. So I made an sms generator that randomly composed sentences combining words from three tables and sent to her at random times. It took her many months to notice. When she found out, she was angry for 10 seconds, but that anger faded to curiosity about how the random sentence composer thing worked. After I showed it to her, she got mad at me again for not updating the tables more frequently :P

I don't understand... where is it pulling the GIFs from? How does it determine what GIF to use for a given card?
I did a simple scraping automation of my favourite online clothing stores, storing the clothes (prices per size) in Postgres which would notify me via SMS if something I wanted dropped below a price point I set. Also built a simple front-end for it using React / Apollo (with graphQl and express on the backend) and MobX. The gist was you could select a store from a dropdown, plug-in the product code and it'd go fetch the product / save its url in the DB and scan it every 4 hours or so, then scan the products table to see if the price of the product was set below my desired price and then notify (scheduled via node-cron).

Had it working well, but of course it was against T&Cs for each store and ultimately would have been quite brittle, so I didn't polish it off before moving on. Frustrating because I wanted to use it as a demo to get a first web-dev job but it really wasn't worth completing and deploying. Also, twilio SMS in Australia is IIRC 5c per message which is kinda ridiculous for any serious quantity of texts, I planned to hook it up to a Telegram bot instead.

It was actually useful though because clothing retailers don't often send you a notification if what you want drops in price, particularly when it's an individual price drop due to low stock.

It's funny, I rarely have "emotional" interactions with people on social media. But the one time I did, it was Zach Holman ripping me a new one on Twitter. He treats people bad.

No wonder he is depressed. He feels guilty because he is such an a$$hole.
Yes, I reprovisioned our dying Jenkins machine like this, because we usually run ansible from Jenkins. I was tweaking and updating the playbooks on the new Jenkins machine then running ansible there, then adding things that worked back into git.

Ansible also works well over ssh too. It’s pretty flexible.

The lie detector test was an example of junk science that still can be used to produce a desired result. Not meant to imply that people will use a "gaydar" to try and get people to confess to crimes. My mental contrived example was that homophobes in a homophobic community might doctor up such a system to try and convince other people in the community that someone they don't like is gay and should thus be ostracized, but I realize it's a stretch.

Potential harm can certainly arise if the research is junk. People misuse research or believe in junk research all the time. Just look at the anti-vaccines crowd.

I agree on your third point.
Plenty of minimalists don't. It's just harder to find them if your source of information is commercial in nature.
write(2) is a blocking call (unless O_NONBLOCK is set), so you should never have a partial write while the descriptor is connected to something valid.
If it's perfectly predictable, but takes effort, then insurance companies would be replaced by (or pivot to) companies that sell the service of telling you your predictions. (If the prediction takes no effort—open source software, very little computation—then this cost will approach zero, and the more tech-savvy would do it themselves. Maybe OS vendors would bundle it as a convenience.) Then each person knows in advance what medical costs they'll have to pay—or choose to not bother with—and can plan accordingly.

Realistically, I think that having perfect information about one person and about biology and stuff still doesn't give you enough information to predict whether they'll get various diseases. If there is any validity at all to "exposure to X causes cancer", then no amount of information about one person will help you predict whether they'll get exposed to X. Or whether they'll trip, fall, and break a bone. And, really, I expect that the perfect state of knowledge of human biology would merely allow you to deduce "person X has x% chance of developing disease D during the next ten years; person Y has y% chance". So there would still be a role for insurance companies for the risk-averse.

I was diagnosed with schizophrenia about 11 years ago.

The "double bookkeeping" mentioned in the article is a neat description of how I sometimes dealt with the hallucinations. Everything I experienced was real to me but I quickly realized that it was not "objectively real", for lack of a better term. I had the luck of having a GREAT support network, and I highly believe that its because of that I'm functioning today.

I'm currently symptom-free and have been for a few years (despite being a dumbass who cold-turkey'd my meds without my doctors knowledge). I want to try to help anyone who's feeling isolated due to "mental illness" (not a fan of that term either). Drop me an email: helpful at hax dot xyz

> In areas with strict gun control but limited access to firearms, mass killings still happen with other modalities. A lot of things can effectively kill a bunch of human beings assembled in a restricted area: knives, machetes, bombs, trucks, etc..

If these things were as effective as suggested, why is it that in America, one of the prime examples of loose gun control, just about all the recent mass killings have been committed with guns?

The other modalities exist but they're less effective (knife/machete/truck) or are hard to manufacture and use (bombs).

To give an example in favour of reduced frequency/lethality, have a look at Australia. We just don't see many mass killings there.

I think you're mixing up the fact of outlier (subgroups) with the location of the mean in a normal distribution. Looking at the pictures in question it does seem to me that GP has a point, i.e. BMI could be a simple proxy for what the NN is detecting as sexual preference.
In my teenage years what really helped with my depression was going out and getting involved in the local music scene. Becoming a "personality" of sorts did wonders. Especially the punk scene- those are some upbeat people they will literally kick the depression out of you simply because its not widely tolerated at their shows. Live a little, create your own strange fiction, give yourself something to remember.
If you're curious about this, I'd recommend reading accounts of hunter-gatherer lives written by anthropologists! This book is fascinating in many ways: http://voidnetwork.gr/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/The-Dobe-Ju...

In particular:

* Level of food security (very high -- people only bothered to keep 3 days of food on hand, since it was so easy to get more)

* Their social living arrangements (persistent "living groups" of 10-ish people, multiple of which might be camping around the same water hole at a given time. so there's a collection of people you're often around that rarely changes, and then other groups you see and live with for a time periodically)

* Reasons why their population didn't explode despite lack of contraceptives (no crops --> no e.g. maize that can be turned into mash for kids --> kids breastfeed for years longer, which apparently acts as a contraceptive.

As others are saying, life undoubtedly was quite different for hunter-gatherers in other regions.

3. arabs, were obsessed (also experts) by geometric patterns and those pattern were also their early gods. so they would have produced many goods with nice patterns on them.

Take Australia as another example of a country where nobody is allowed to have guns (well they are but they need a good reason). The intentional homicide rate is 1/5th of what it is in the US.

Cherry picking examples doesn't really bring much to the discussion.
Perhaps you’ve misread, that’s included in the ‘single’ part. Regardless, my larger point is that when you’re at a bar you’re not going to walk up to a random table and ask a guy out when he’s holding hands with some girl. People who are single and looking do just that - they look for signs that the other party may be interested. It takes some social skills, but as the original article shows a large proportion of couples meet in a bar, so clearly it’s not impossible.
The story of an edtech startup that caught elusive profitability by the tail
It's basically a tautology to say that things would look different today if things had gone differently in the past. I don't think it's true that a "good chunk of the US would be modern social democratic countries if the south seceded". Three US states together make up over a quarter (30.92%) of the total national GDP, one of those states is in the South. It's not a simple matter to simply say that the US should break up into smaller countries.

Whether that's a desirable outcome or not is something I'm not even really going to touch.
That's amusing.

Being San Fransisco, wouldn't the percentage of the population not into you be even higher? If you are gay you can toss out all the straight people and vice versa. And that's not even taking bi and trans into account. I would guess in SanFran only 1/4 of the population would possibly be into you.
The Swedish vikings are known to have travelled, traded and served as guards for the Ottomans. Most people equate Vikings with the Danish/Norwegian raids and voyages in western europe and the atlantic. It’s an interesting discovery, but the article lacks a bit of context.

You only need to control for it if the total number of infections is a significant percentage (probably somewhere around 1-5% depending on significance level) of each group population - otherwise you'd have to control for anything and everything and statistical field studies would be completely impossible to allow for any conclusions (while as it is it's just really hard).

Honestly, I'm not sure you want to get me started here.

Believe it or not, libsodium's implementation of Argon2 is an example of libsodium going off the rails. Libsodium began as a cross-platform easy-to-build repackaging of Nacl, a crypto library designed and written by cryptographers with carefully chosen primitives. Libsodium has gradually expanded it into a kitchen sink of shiny cryptography, and as a result now libsodium users have to worry about the pitfalls of AES-GCM. Why does libsodium implement Argon2? Hell if I know. As an interface, it's actually worse than JCE, which at least had the self-respect to pretend it had a "password based encryption" abstraction.

It gets worse though, if you really want to climb down this rabbit hole with me, because I'm not totally sure why Argon2 exists either. The "bug" he found in Argon2 has actually no practical impact, so much so that the reference implementation decided not to bother fixing it. But that's because very little in password hashes actually matter. Scrypt was the last important thing to happen to password hashes, and bcrypt still works just fine.

If we want to keep touring all the weird shit that happens because people pointlessly reimplement things many of which don't need to exist in the first place, we can keep doing it all the way back to unpadded RSA-512 off a broken browser RNG, which (a) existed and (b) got me gameover on a pentest once. Maybe I should be happy about that, but I mostly find it frustrating.

My point here, though, is that you aren't going to learn nearly enough from a tutorial of any sort to safely implement curves.

Hello, I agree that previous versions of django-autocomplete-light were cumbersome to use. However, since version 3 most of the magic has gone away:

1. Add a class-based-view that returns the search data (inheriting from autocomplete.Select2QuerySetView)

2. Register that view with your urls.py as normally (but be sure to give it a name)

3. Add a form field by specifying its widget using the autocomplete.ModelSelect2 widgt, passing it a url='view-name' parameter (which is the view name you used in 2).

4. Don't forget to include jquery and {{ form.media }} in the views that uses your autocomplete.

5. Done!

Seems pretty easy and friendly to me!

As someone with plants and with a friend who looks after them when we're away, I understand this completely.

Plants need a schedule to do well and some are very sensitive if they get too much or too little water too often or too late.

A two or three of our plants died while the friend was looking after them in the past due to under watering (and we were gone for only about a week every time). So last time when we came back we found most pots were flooded with water, which to most plants is just as bad as not being watered.

It's only now that I think about how this small favour we ask of our friend can be stressful to him.
You're right, but my point is probably still valid: a quick check suggests women over 40 should get a breast exam every year, while men and women should get a colonoscopy every ten years, starting at 40.
There are a few problems:

- The 2nd Amendment to the US Constitution enshrines the right to bear arms. To revoke that right would require either the states or congress to trigger a referendum _and_ the populace to vote in favor of revoking the right to bear arms. This would never happen.

- Even if it did happen, the kind of people who care about gun rights are the kind who'd fight for them. I honestly don't think it'd take long for riots to break out. It'd start with firearm-equipped protests, police would come, confrontation would happen and ultimately it just takes one pull of any of the numerous triggers to set off a whole lot of violence.
That's an interesting question, and plays into some things I've been thinking about across a number of domains.

There's the role of fame itself, which is related to, but not the same so far as I see, as power. Both are ordinal -- it's a lot better to be the most famous vs, say, the 10th most famous, in ways that having only, say, $90 rather than $100 isn't. But there's something you're giving up for fame -- particularly privacy and autonomy. There's a risk to it (and there are numerous artists, politicians, and businesspeople who've been attacked, kidnapped, or murdered).

In biological evolution, there was a stage at which the first carnivorous organisms appeared. Before that, it was pretty much OK to let it all hang out, and just sort of slime around on the seafloor, munching on plants. Afterward, defences (and some offences) like shells and pincers and teeth emerged. You needed to protect yourself.

And while such defenses still exist, most animals now don't have heavy body armor. It's too heavy, and too cumbersome. There's hide and fur, tails to swat away annoying things. But also social habits -- the grooming behaviours of primates and other animals in particular. "I'll pick parasites off your back if you'll pick them off of mine." Standards and norms of behaviour.

The problem of too much fame, especially for lifeforms which aren't aware of the problem or cannot defend themselves (or move or hide, as with trees, hell, even rock formations), is one that's been around for a while. It definitely pre-dates the Internet as mulitiple posts here note. I've run across items about geotagged images of rhinoceroses, or of rare plants, or other treasures.

There's this item from a few days ago:

http://e360.yale.edu/features/unnatural-surveillance-how-onl...

As for how to deal with the problem socially, I think that may be the role of taboo. That's taking the matter beyond economics to an extent, as taboo puts an infinite cost or price to doing a thing.
There's some suggestion that the Spanish interjection olé is also descended from Allah (or rather some conjugation of it).

More or less, each name for God in the Jewish, Christian, and Islamic traditions is related to a similar name in one or both other traditions. "Allah" is a modern standard Arabic transliteration of a word which translates quite simply to God. The only reason to translate it as "Allah" is to signify that the context is Islamic.
If you live in Silicon Valley, consider long-distance dating. You’re a pretty good catch speaking countrywide or worldwide!

Anyway, since dating is a market for lemons (all your competition are people who can’t get a relationship) most of them are terrible at it. Women might get tired of bad messages and quit, but they won’t ignore you if you’re calm and not too thirsty.
Since it can be used to repeat arbitrary data, it is liable to be used in performance-sensitive tasks (mostly along the lines of pumping dummy data to a program or piece of hardware that's being benchmarked).

My kids constantly lose the controller to the tv, so I hooked up a smart outlet and echo dot to be able to turn on TV with my voice. The TV turns on because of “power-on from powerloss” settings most TVs have or default to. The Roku automatically pauses any show when the HDMI goes dormant and plays it when TV comes back.
