I knew some C before taking an assembly language class (and I'm young enough that assembly never came up as a thing to learn before hitting higher-level languages). I understood pointers (mostly), but the concept was still a little confusing, and I'd have to consider the correct syntax every time I needed to use them.

Years later, I started doing things like writing an NES emulator and reading disassemblies of DOS games. Function calls, their relation to the stack, and pointers in general became much clearer after having contact with that much assembly.

> I surely have not figured out how to explain pointers to those who do not "get" them.

Makes me think about the difference between the data being represented and the method of representation. Sure, an exe's a binary, but it's also a data file if I choose to interpret it that way.
That's because IT IS COMMUNISM.

In quite a few places, the former are basically paid like baristas and office clerks. That certainly seems to be the case at the web development end (and I guess more mainstream side in general) in a lot of places in Europe.
Yes! We need to know more, so we can make more rules... just a few more rules, and we'll be living in a Utopian society! Right?!

> The only reason we see multiple systems at (roughly) equilibrium is that the ones not at equilibrium destroy themselves and their environment.

Survival of the fittest. The fittest ecosystems are those who strive at equilibrium. Unchecked growth leads to boom bust cycles that are very destructive.

It may be an early propagation strategy (especially for autotrophs), but it is, in the long run, overcome by checks and balances. AFAIK short of catastrophic changes, ecosystems tend to reach equilibrium, because boom/bust is not competitive.

This is also true of diseases. New, aggressive strains that kill their host quickly usually evolve into milder versions of themselves that get better chances to spread (because the host survives longer).

Most animals have builtin growth limits that matches what they can reasonably extract from their environment. Within the boundaries of an individual, uncheck growth is literally cancer. BTW, you should have that growth on your nose checked (yeah, lame pun sorry ;-).

Humanity and its economy has a cancerous behavior right now. Even if the population stabilizes, economic growth requires a proportional growth in the consumption of resources (energy/matter) and thereby a proportional increase in entropy (heat/pollution/destruction/death).

At some point the rest of the earth won't be hospitable to us as a species, and that point may be precipitated by autonomous capital.

Farming and mining are being automated away. Transport is being automated. Manufacture has been for a long while.

Why would an automated market feed billions of idle meat bags? I don't know either.

I want money for my work, thank you very much. And if I provide more value to my employer, I expect more money than the guy who provides less.

It's not specifically enshrined because it doesn't need to be. It's implied under the bill of rights: "no state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law ... nor deny any person the equal protection of the laws," (Amendment 14 Section 1).

Totally OT, but "Today, we’re excited to " is as an opening statement, through its ubiquity and seeming robotic mindlessness, is starting to distract from the actual topics. Maybe just me. Still. Just sayin.

Fireflies are interesting - as a New England kid in the 80s, I used to read about them in all sorts of childrens' books, but I was really bummed because I never saw one. I think I saw one firefly in my whole childhood. I just went back to Long Island this summer, and they were all over. It'd get to be twilight and hundreds of them would just be dancing through the air. I got to show my wife the childhood scene that I'd only imagined.

Maybe all the fireflies moved from Michigan to New York. I think I'd read somewhere that firefly populations tend to be very cyclical anyway though.
70 Calories of chocolate is about 11-12g of (70-85%) dark chocolate, or 12-13g of Milk Chocolate(1). Chocolate's LD50 is approximately 1000g/Kg(2). So basically your body weight in chocolate. It's the theobromine that kills you, same as dogs, but they're much more sensitive to it. And it strongly depends on the kind of chocolate, pure cocoa is much higher in theobromine than milk chocolate: So 5 oz of Cocoa powder ~= 8.6 oz of Baking chocolate ~= 26 oz of Semi-sweet ~= 27oz of dark chocolate ~= 59 oz of Milk Chocolate ~= 3583 oz of White chocolate.(3) (White chocolate has no cocoa powder in it, just cocoa butter.) Note that these comparisons are of just the theobromine content, not the the 'healthy' stuff in chocolate.

I have personally tested this back when my metabolism was young by eating 2 pounds of Hershey's Kisses in one evening with no ill effects. :)

I don't think we know that much about flavonols, quercetin is the most studied and most of the studies used a 1000 mg/day dose, but I don't find any info about a most effective or maximum dosage.(4)

The reason to eat chocolate is cause it tastes fucking awesome. If you're trying to eat it for your health I feel sad for you. ;-)

Losing a lot of money if you post your own bail is another big incentive to show up for court, but unlike most counties in the country, San Francisco does not allow an individual or their friends, family, or attorney to pay the bail. While there is a lot of criticism against the United States bail bonds industry, I am criticizing the specific corruption in San Francisco.

For most crimes, it does not make sense to skip town or skip a court date. If the person gets pulled over for speeding, then he has new fines and potentially new charges. If you pay $100k bail out of your own pocket for a DUI, you are not going to flee the country to avoid court. There is no need for a bondsman. Hell, there is no need for a $100k bond. The $100k bond is the result of lobbying by the insurance industry that backs bail bondsman:

"Indeed. Before ABC began lobbying, in 1990, commercial bail accounted for just 23 percent of pretrial releases, while release on recognizance accounted for 40 percent. Today, only 23 percent of those let go before trial are released on recognizance, while 49 percent must purchase commercial bail. Since 1990, average bail amounts have almost tripled for felony cases. Between 2004 and 2012, revenues of the ABC companies whose income comes almost entirely from bail increased 21 percent." (http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2014/06/bail-bond-prison...)

The bigger savings to the taxpayer would be to reduce aggressive sentences and over-reaching laws. The prisoner per capita rate in the United States is the second highest in the world and 3x that of the countries with the highest rates in Europe (http://www.prisonstudies.org/highest-to-lowest/prison_popula...).
Impossible to know, because employers are not required to share the reason for dropping candidates from consideration. Candidates would need to speculate about the real reason, but I can tell you with pretty high certainty that it has happened to me at least once.
And I don't think that anyone here is suggesting that our society shouldn't have to provide clean drinking water to people who can't afford it.

Again, my point is we need to find where the happy medium is.

> In June 2007, all that changed. Ain attended the annual Endocrine Society meeting in Toronto, where Bryan Haugen, head of the endocrinology division at the University of Colorado School of Medicine, told Ain that several of his most popular cell lines were not actually thyroid cancer. One of Haugen’s researchers discovered that many thyroid cell lines their laboratory stocked and studied were either misidentified or contaminated by other cancer cells.

[...]

> But rampant contamination is not the shocker in this story. Ain retired all the lines; he never sent any of them out again. He also sent letters to 69 investigators in 14 countries who had received his lines. He heard back from just two.
A tag-a-long comment, this SoC + imaging system is going to make it much easier to write the software because you know all of the particulars of the optical system, sensor, position data, etc etc. It's not like implementing this stuff on the application layer which is nightmare mode difficult. Cameras are so fast, their controls are so fast, this is like some super human time dilation photography and photogrammetry.

I've held out for so long, it's finally time to replace my HTC One m7.

I'm in no way a Apple Hater. I follow Apple blogs and listen Apple podcasts, I never get any work done during an Apple keynote and I've had 4 Macs, and Apple //e, countless iPods, iPhones, and iPads over the years.

But I can't for the life of me find anything appealing about any of Apple's Computer offering aside from the Retina iMacs.

The MacBooks just feel limiting to me compared to a good Windows laptop with multitouch trackpad. Currently I'm a fan of Dell's midrange and high end 2-n-1s

As far as I know only Plasma doses are pooled because of the washing process.

Pooling is also done for blood testing they’ll pool samples from a batch together and if the pooled sample comes back positive they’ll discard the entire batch of part of it if subpooling was used.

Red blood cells doses come from a single donor.

I’m not sure about platelets.

Tax information, which is both salary and wealth information, is public in Norway since some years now, in electronic form. Media did a bunch of useless posts about celebrities for a while. But apart from that I cannot think of any bad outcomes, certainly not a lot of social disasters.
Visa salaries and job titles already are public, but anonymized. It's also not too hard to connect the dots when you've only got one Application Security Cloud Architect because you had to make up a position specific enough to disqualify domestic applicants.
I never got the taken by force argument. Is your mortgage or rent taken by force?

There are places in this world that to do not collect tax and you are free to go there.

So long as you are allowed to leave, you have a choice otherwise you have implicitly agreed to the social contract to pay taxes by staying and benefit from being within the protected borders of the government and all service provided therein.
We want to reward value creators enough that people try to create value. And yet, those who don't (or who try and fail) shouldn't be left completely behind.

One of the problems with this statement is the assumption that poor people are poor because they don't create value. One of the problems with that is the feminization of poverty. Women tend to be poorer than men. This is so not because we all simply laze around watching soap operas and eating bon bons. Instead, it is true because some portion of our time and energy goes into having and raising kids, taking care of relatives who are sick, and supporting the careers of our husbands in various ways.

One largely invisible way that women end up poorer is that families typically move to follow the husband's career. In other words, if they move to a new city as a family, it is because the husband sought employment elsewhere and got it.

For him, this is almost always a step up for his career. When his wife then quits her job to go with him, her next job is usually a step down for her. You do this enough and women end up going nowhere fast in their careers.

It is a complicated topic, but one of those complications is that an awful lot of poor people do create value for society, it just mostly doesn't result in them capturing value. If it is a woman who is poor, the odds are very high that she did plenty to benefit other people, but, no, it in no way resulted in financial security for her.

It would be really nice if people would stop implying that poor people are just lazy ass bums who do nothing at all of value. I was a military wife and homeschooling mom. I supported my husband's career and I took excellent care of two special needs sons. I just got off the street recently, after nearly 6 years of homelessness.

So, your framing implies ugly things about me and other people like me that are absolutely not true.
The price of your house is public, the value of your car is public, and most people can roughly guess what your salary is based on your job title, geography and experience level.
I had to cut sugar, I tried things with less in it, so I ramped up the dark chocolate %. 70% is my sweet spot.

I hope I can get a little benefits from this (and other nutrients of course). Although dark chocolate also contains bromide derivatives who can be harmful too.
Vehicles are also a lot more aerodynamic. 5 years ago I had a Jeep Wrangler, which aerodynamically is like a box on wheels. In the summer, the grill and windshield got so many bugs on it that I worried about visibility problems. Now that I drive a Toyota Corolla, bugs are a nonissue.
Their entire point is that publicizing their salary eliminates that privacy by telling people their income. It's a proxy measurement. Even if all they have in the house is a can of beans, publicly making more than their neighbors puts a target on them.
ah yes, the booming American kidnapping business. /s

Seriously though, it's not hard to find targets for this sort of thing by looking at census data and sales records for nice homes, yet it really never happens in the US. WHen was the last time you heard of some random lawyer, ceo, or banker getting kidnapped in the US?

A really good dark chocolate need not be an acquired taste.

In the UK, Co-op's own brand 85% dark chocolate is excellent. It's rich enough that you'll probably never want more than a square or two at one go (which I count as a point in is favour), but it's fruity and delicious. Also Sainsbury's Organic Santo Domingo 74% gives much fancier bars at several times the price a run for their money.

Green & Black's 70%, on the other hand, which is widely available, is over-priced, chalky, bitter, marketing-led nonsense.

Possibly a dumb question, but can any lawyers here speculate as to whether this law will pass constitutional muster? Is this a form of prior restraint that violates the first amendment? Comparing to things like protected categories (age, gender, religion, marital status, etc) my understanding is that it's not illegal for employers to ask these things, but doing so potentially opens them up to discrimination lawsuits if the person is not hired.
Certain visas such as the E3 publicly disclose what the salary is for a given position. Workers in the federal government also have a public record of their salary.

US government stats report the national average cost for a gallon of milk is over $3 so any large retailer selling it for a buck a gallon is using it as a loss leader to draw folks into the store. And for more anecdata, our local DG runs $1 and $2 gallon milk sales frequently for the same reason.
Sounds like it was less than ideal. I feel pretty good about my prospects where I work now. We have a great culture and are growing. Hopefully if I get into leadership here I wont have such an unpleasant experience. Thanks for sharing.
You should look at the trends compared to 30-40 years ago in terms of cost, research output, etc (not amenities, undergrad dining situation, etc) for "flyover country" public research universities, not focus on just today and whatever date you graduate.

Very few things in America have been quite as good recently at convincing people without a lot of money to spend a ton of money on shit they don't need as the whole "look at our gym and amazing new dorms and beautiful new buildings" undergrad amenity wars.
I wonder if the other OEMs would buy it. I could see Samsung wanting to make their own or at least not strengthen their dependence on Google.
> Snowden

If anyone wants to tear out excess hair, watch Citizenfour's scenes with Snowden and the rest on their computers. The main argument against the omniscience of the intelligence agencies is that they didn't walk into that hotel room on the first day.

Besides technical issues, watching Snowden try to get Poitras and especially Greenwald to adopt security based on operational discipline and CLI *nix tools is both hair-raising (easier to tear out that way) and laughable. Clearly he never had to work with end users. IIRC, in his initial instructions to Poitras he tells her 'if you have trouble setting up that encrypted connection, just ssh to the ip address and use the tool of your choice.' (If you don't understand why that is laughable, you haven't worked with end-users either.) Greenwald seems completely at a loss - 'I made my password (to the data on which Snowden's life and the whole news story depends) simple because I have to use it all the time - is that ok?' Sure, why not at this point?

If he is the Lo I think he is then his textbook on econometrics (Mckinsey & Lo?) is one of the best. I would guess econometric studies support his insights already but he tries to formulate experimental results in a consistent model that aligns with his theory.
Results like this are some confirmation of what everyone not entirely swaddled in the virtual worlds of city and business is already entirely aware of: that our living planet is dying. All the people I know who have lived in rural areas for decades (in Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia and SE. Asia) are in no doubt that their local ecologies are collapsing, and that the collapse is accelerating.

I'm not sure how useful the knowledge is at this late stage. Turning things around would require changes of a pace and scale that we have no idea how to motivate and coordinate. Fork and done, I reckon.
