This looks great, alas I am unable to test it.

When I try to sign up, they want write access to my repos, to the org repos I am a member off, etc.
Let's make this clear: I am not giving to anyone write access to my repos and certainly not to other people repos. Read permissions should be enough. You want to add something to my repo? Do a PR.

So what remains, is to test the command line app without using the online service. But the documentation is bad, so I am not able to do that either. No docs for scala, when trying with go, I get cryptic errors, like 'no supported Go build tools detected' until I install a third party go binary (godep or govendor) and 'could not find Go project folder (maybe your Go build tool is not supported?)'.

The idea is great, the execution needs some work.

If I know the url of the publisher's web page describing the paper I want, I append that url to "http://sci-hub.tw/". For example following this link will immediately cause the pdf of the full text of what is otherwise a paywalled paper to start downloading into one's browser's download directory:

http://sci-hub.tw/http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/809494...

But I was unable to get a similar concatenated url to work with whereisscihub, which means I cannot replace "http://sci-hub.tw/" with "https://whereisscihub.herokuapp.com/go/" in the definition of the simple command I use to interact with Sci-Hub.
'Although Holmes settled her complaint with the SEC Wednesday, agreeing to a broad series of penalties without admitting guilt, Balwani did not settle with SEC, which will continue investigating him'.

'Theranos' board heft was anchored to a 2011 meeting Holmes had with former secretary of state George Shultz, who after joining the board recruited his fellow former secretary, Henry Kissinger. Other notables around the table were former U.S. senators Sam Nunn and Bill Frist, former secretary of defense William Perry, and James Mattis.

Mattis came up in the SEC's investigation. It found that while Mattis was leading the U.S. Central Command he lobbied for Holmes' tech to be used in the military, though regulators flagged issues before the notion took wing. Mattis resigned from Theranos' board when he become U.S. Defense secretary in 2016'.

> This means that they assume luck is needed for advancement while talent is not.

Which is clearly true. You can be as talented as you like, but talent without a corresponding opportunity to use that talent for monetary gain obviously yields no wealth. There's nothing objectionable here.

It's also widely believed that greater talent makes one more successful at exploiting opportunities, and the paper accepts this premise in order to test it.

Now you can quibble that perhaps the random variable governing opportunities is not independent of talent, in that, those with more talent are simply presented with more opportunities. Perhaps that's true.

But the paper actually shows that our world is also consistent with the hypothesis that opportunities are completely random.

> Power distributions are created by multiplicative laws and the only ways wealth changes in this model are multiplication and division. This means they also assume the power distribution they claim to discover.

I think you're looking at this wrong. The power distribution is not the discovery, the discovery is that what we see in real life is consistent with such a simple formulation based on a small number of factors where wealth disparity is largely dominated by luck.

Perhaps that's not actually the case in reality, but we now know that it's absolutely not impossible, which some previously believed.

> Luck surely plays a huge role in success, but something like longitudinal studies where we measure the abilities of children and then follow their outcomes are likely far more insightful.

These aren't mutually exclusive. Modelling and empirical studies both yield insights.

Well I can tell you from experience that it's not a micro-optimization, unless you compare it to vi(m) where the movement keybindings are optimized to h, j, k, and l. Being that movement across the text you're editing is such a common action, it's become incredibly annoying when you have to move your hand away from the home row and search around for the arrow keys with your hand. Different keyboards have them in different places and sizes, so you have to make a slight pause to think of what keyboard you're using to know where to search. I've caught myself having to look at the keyboard sometimes just to find those damn arrow keys. In fact, sometimes they're so badly positioned in the keyboard, that I just prefer to use the mouse instead.

The "Why Do Developers Participate in Hackathons?" question is missing an answer option that I suspect is distressingly common: employer-mandated hackathon participation.

Multiple places I've worked, and many places I've heard about from my peers, require employees to participate (either as a "this is just mandatory" requirement or as a "this influences a milestone on your performance review" requirement) in company-sponsored or external hackathons.

This trend is somewhat distressing and deserves to be highlighted, I think.

Word can automatically manage your references and TOCs. There's even a Mendeley plugin to get your references from Mendeley into Word. It's actually as simple as a couple of shortcuts (Alt - S - Y1 on my machine, to "Add citation" from Mendeley).

Also, like another poster has said, Word now recognises some LateX-like shorthand in equations so you don't have to click everywhere. Frex, adding a subscript is as simple as adding an underscore, the subscript and pressing space.

I don't know how to quickly add superscripts, or both sub- and super-scripts though :)

Not advocating for Word vs LaTeX, mind, but Word's actually pretty handy for writing a quick paper, like for a Master's thesis or putting together an early paper draft to get an idea of the outline etc. things that don't have stringent formatting requirements.

The answer is within your quote:

With Augur, we'll have thousands reporting on market outcomes using a one-of-a kind consensus based system and a unique token called REPutation. As a reporter, you'll report on events every two months and, in return, receive half of all fees in the system multiplied by the percent of REP you own.

So, what they are relying on is that multiple people reporting a particular event can avoid manipulation. This is something which is touched upon extensively in the book "Wisdom of the Crowds" [0].

But, they also know that people might not be interesting in reporting an event. So, they are provide an incentive which is something like a PoS mining system - you earn coins for reporting based on the percentage of coins you hold in your wallet.

Obviously, this can turn out to be very bad because crowd wisdom doesn't always work. But, it will be an interesting experiment. But, not an experiment worth a billion dollars - during early Jan.

If we ever want Bitcoin to evolve from a store of value to an actual payment method we have to come up with something that does at least better than VISA's 8000tx/s and that's just not solved with going from 7tx/s to Bitcoin Cash's ~62tx/s. We have to be able to compete with every payment method out there and we should be able to handle peak throughput during sales period.

Another important factor is the 10 minutes confirmation time, nobody wants to wait for 10 minutes at the counter before they trust you walking out. We need something with instant verification and low fees and increasing the blocksize will never do that.

Unfortunately, the permissions issue is a limitation of Github's Oauth API. There's no way to ask for "read-only" permissions using their current integration scheme.

You can, however get a FOSSA API key without signing up for Github -- just register with an email here: https://app.fossa.io/account/register

Not just here. It is all over the world. In fact it is far worse in countries with large population and falling job opportunities in most sectors.
Mind mapping is more of a process, rather than a data structure. The process helps us brainstorm, recall, and visualize our ideas.

You're right in that some of the data structure behind mind maps can be represented using a tree. However, you'd lose lots of the benefits. For example, trees might not be as memorable or as unique as a mind map[1].

Does anybody do any fact checking anymore? The claim is that the 1950's and 1960's success was due to a immigration system that "welcomed promising minds from every corner of the planet".

Bullshit.

Look at the percentage of Americans who were immigrants in the 1950-60's - 5-6%. What is it now? 12-14%?[1]

So in fact, there are more immigrants in the US than back in the utopia of the '50-60's.

Once again, a nice theory, but absolutely false.

Speaking specifically on the point of education, when I went to college I came from a backwater US school. A lot of my classmates came from elite schools from all over the world. The thing I noticed among a lot of the Indian and Chinese students is that, while they could regurgitate equations and solve problems very quickly, a lot of them would copy solutions or would have a hard time learning new concepts without massive problem sets to study patterns from.

While the US K-12 system does sucks, I don't really want to see it turn into a memorization race the way the Indian and Chinese systems seem.
What are the best coding bootcamps in Canada?
Well, I can get LaTeX (or more precisely, LyX) to do what I want, so that on the PDF, the equation is exactly what I want it to be. I don't know if I'm "comfortable" with it (though Lyx is far easier to use than LaTeX). But I think I have no choice. [Edit: I have no choice because the publisher doesn't understand my paper, and doesn't understand the equations in it. The publisher may make a change without even realizing it, and the change may really matter. It's my paper, and it's my responsibility that the equations are right.]

Second best would be "asking your publisher to respect your wishes" in the form of looking over galley proofs, to make sure that the equations came out right.

Why would you block access from the EU if your site is hosted elsewhere?

If you think complying with foreign regulations is not worth it, or if you're not even aware of it, it's not up to you to block anything. Why would it be? If they care they would make providers block your site.

The club I curl at is strictly dedicated curling ice and most curlers there take care and pride in the ice and work to keep it clean and in to condition. But we are also open to introducing people and bringing new curlers in. Sometimes people don't wear ideal clothing. They will wear clothes that is linty/fuzzy. Some lint or fuzz gets in the ice and a slow curled stone goes over a piece in the ice which causes a lot of friction b pulling the stone and causing it to start curling the opposite way. That's what I often see. Another thing that sometimes messed with the ice and can cause negative curl is outside conditions. The building isn't perfectly sealed and there are doors to the exterior 3 feet from the outer sheets. If it's above freezing the warm air seeping in can cause the ice near the doors to be frosty or wet (or even colder than normal and harder to melt from some friction if it's extremely cold outside). Depending on conditions. This can mess with the friction between the ice and stone regardless of spin direction.

> It's my last attempt. It's ok. Not everybody needs to understand everything.

I asked you direct questions and you have answered none of them. Yes I am aware of what a blockchain is, to the finest detail. There is no need to reiterate its features.

You haven't answered my questions at all. I directly challenged you on how blockchain would have helped in a famous case of "food products origin" - an example you yourself mentioned. You have utterly failed to answer that, instead holding forth on the value of smiles, PR, silver bullets, irrelevant theories about chinese governance, democracy and its virtuousness, company salaries, how hype is actually good, and my own lacking IQ.

Can you please just answer my damn question, or do the honourable thing and admit you have no fucking idea how blockchain helps foodchain security.

It depends on what you mean by a website. If it's one level above a static page, a static site with frequent changes, I'll make my own build chain in Node.js with Gulp and host the pages in S3 and Cloudfront.

Or I will use Rails behind Nginx if the site is more dynamic. Each release would get built into a Docker image and be deployed that way. HAProxy would be there mostly to forward requests to multiple apps if there are any.

For a site that needs a lot of client side scripting, I use Ember. I'm so happy with it that I will probably use it with Fastboot for those times I would have used Rails. In terms of databases, I've been using CouchDB unless I had an overwhelming need for relational records. It saves time because CRUD and websocket/eventsource/longpolling come with it out of the box.
Numbers are a little suspect. Capacity is 120k, and they say up to 60k damaged? Inventory being what it is, they're doing great if they have half the wafers in process at any given time. So if there's a power bump, 60k is an absolute maximum. Furthermore, almost none of these lots are a dead loss. The ones in diffusion furnaces and wet hoods are likely 100% scrap, but CMP, CVD, implant, and dry etch mostly process one wafer at a time. Some of the wafers may be dusted by vacuum loss, but that's usually recoverable. Most photo layers give you redos -- strip off the resist and try again. I'd estimate the actual scrap from this event at no more than 10k wafers. The rest will be delayed production, but not a dead loss.

Edit: oops, I left out metals and test. Metals is a chamber process, wafers in process will be killed but unlikely it's the whole lot. You can lose wafers at test if they're in burn-in or being lasered.

Edit: I confused capacity and monthly output. My numbers are probably 3-4x low in terms of total impact on production, although they're likely reasonable in terms of their effect on one month's worth of output. 60k still seems like an overstatement.
Every ice skater chooses their music months beforehand. The music is timed to the routine and movements will emphasize beats in the music too. Some skaters will compose new music for their routine or work with artists to co-create a new musical/skating piece. I believe Carolina Costner of Italy has done this in the past (please check me on that though, google has nothing to say).

Suffice to say, the music they choose may be copyrighted or long out of copyright (I'm looking at you Carmen). Skaters are never paid for competitions, thus they can play their music without worry at the events. Recently, music with words has now been allowed at competitions.

Here is a brief over-view of music and ice skating: https://twitter.com/voxdotcom/status/965031866775437312

How to Diagnose Decline in Rankings (Craziest SEO Issue We’ve Seen)
We've also shot ourselves in the foot with land-use policy in SF/Silicon Valley. When engineers build products at a company that succeeds, the gains end up accruing to landlords.

It's been de facto illegal to build more housing units for a long time. Engineers here largely either win the stock option lottery or leave (and be put to less economically efficient use) once they start a family.

Under these rules, Silicon Valley won't be Silicon Valley for much longer. Indeed, the people who speak up at city hall meetings and are the biggest activists in elections talk all the time about how much they want the tech industry to fail.

My big hope has been that when Silicon Valley cedes its mantle, it's at least to a country that's relatively friendly to western values.

In federal court, at least, it's hard to go wrong with 12-point times new roman for district court, 14-point for courts of appeal, and 1-inch margins. Supreme Court is Century font and booklet-format margins. In practice, you need to just develop a handful of Word templates.

As to the other stuff, polish and consistency are more important. In my opinion, there's a good reason why courts place so much weight on that. Judges are in a weird spot--they need to sweat the details, but don't have the time to put every brief under a microscope. So they need to trust you, but develop heuristics to decide when they can't trust you. The big one is misquoting things. If the judge notices a couple of instances where you say a case says one thing, but the case says something else, your brief will get put under a microscope. Polish is another heuristic. If you can't be bothered to spend the relatively small amount of time it takes to make sure your footnotes are formatted consistently, why should the judge assume that you've thoroughly researched the law and the record and that she can trust that it says what you say it says?

Of course, like most heuristics, it's a statistical inference rather than a logical one--like holding it against someone for showing up late to an interview. They could be reliable, but it's reasonable to think they might not be.
I'm not talking about picking, but more to your last point. However, I'm not sure that that still explains the exact mechanics at play.
