Kleck's complaint is that when the data was originally collected two decades ago, CDC researchers could have calculated an estimated number of DGUs from the raw data and reported summary statistics relating to it, but didn't do so. They did do public estimates for other categories, just not this one. Kleck thinks they didn't release any analysis of this data because they didn't like the conclusion. (Which seems plausible but would be a hard thing to prove)

Kleck wrote this report once he realized the raw unanalyzed response data (which is what you found) had at some point become available at the CDC site so he could do his own analysis.

There are no limits of the loopy things (the number of consecutive digits in numbers), but I don't consider that a weakness of the standard.

Driving scenarios that are difficult for both humans and AI are rare. It's not that these are situations "so difficult that the robot can't solve"; it's that they're edge cases the AI isn't designed for. The vast majority of these situations will be absolutely trivial for a human operator, and only "difficult" for the AI because the designers haven't accounted for this 0.01% case yet.
> I can always make my JSON act like XML if I want to.

You can make your JSON have two identities at the same time: Document and data structure?
XML was intended as subset of SGML that can be meaningfully parsed without knowing DTD of document in question, which involves removing a lot of weird SGML features and constraining others. Formally XML is not SGML subset as there are some unimportant and some quite critical incompatible details.

That doesn't apply here.

The content here is raw emails from prominent Democrats discussing things like cheating in debates to favor Hillary Clinton, telling each other about how Hillary Clinton has really bad judgment, and an orchestrated campaign with friends in the media to discredit her primary challenger.

There can't really be any "bias" in this kind of primary source information. What would you argue here? That candidate Sanders wanted this to happen? We already know from Donna Brazille's book that this is all true, and there is no other side of this story.

Would you argue that folks like Neera Tanden were emailing wisecracks about Hillary Clinton's poor judgment (while publicly saying the opposite), is somehow mischaracterized? Contrast this with how the RNC treated their frontrunner - they publicly criticized him at every opportunity, and nobody rigged the RNC primary to favor candidate Trump - in fact, they did the complete opposite rather publicly, all but endorsing his opponent.

If equivalent information was in the RNC's emails, it was not brand new information to the public, because they were saying those things in public about their candidate, while the DNC did it in secret.
Both a simple and very interesting idea... Could get one to stop procrastinating.
> almost all terminals cannot differentiate between Enter and Ctrl+Enter

On the contrary, many (perhaps even most) of them can. This is a matter of having a keyboard map that makes these into two distinguishable actions. For many terminal (emulators, at least) this is indeed entirely within the remit of the keyboard map and not limited by the terminal emulator itself at all.

Easy to find example: The us.kbd keyboard map on FreeBSD, used by the terminal emulator that is built in to the kernel and that provides the kernel virtual terminals, distinguishes between these two chords, mapping the former to CR and the latter to LF.

/usr/share/vt/keymaps % sed -n -e '3,5p;/089/p' us.kbd
# scan cntrl alt alt cntrl lock
# code base shift cntrl shift alt shift cntrl shift state
# ------------------------------------------------------------------
089 cr cr nl nl cr cr nl nl O
/usr/share/vt/keymaps %

Note that to take advantage of a mapping like this, one has to turn off the crnl input mode in the terminal line discipline. Again, though, the kernel line discipline is a separate thing to the terminal emulator and this is not a mechanism of the terminal emulator.

> I can cook much more flavor and texture into a plant based meal than ever achievable with traditional animal products.

That's a bit of a strange way to put the comparison, as non-vegan meals can include all of those plant based options (just with meat in addition to them). And whether you like meat flavour and texture or not, there is a lot of unique variety in meat flavour and texture that's distinct from what's in plant-based options.

The current problem, as mentioned in the article, is that signage for exceptional situations is made good enough for human drivers, but not for self-driving cars.

When self-driving cars become more prevalent, couldn't we have standardized signage that allows the cars to deal with exceptional road conditions like the example in the article?

Agreeing on industry-wide standards (insert relevant xkcd link here) can make such situations solvable for the machine, by employing well-recognizable clues that signify, for example, 'ignore red light and drive on opposite side of the street'.

If you ever send money to A and it actually goes to B, and for some reason the bank doesn't fix that the first time you get in touch with them, I recommend getting off the phone and escalating to an on-dead-tree letter:

Dear BigBank Legal Department:

This is written notice under Regulation E that BigBank has processed the following electronic transaction in error:

(Brief recitation of transaction details.)

You are required to investigate this matter within 10 business days of your receipt of this letter and provide me written confirmation of the results of your investigation. My desired resolution is a deposit of $XXX into my checking account with last four digits 1234.

You really want BigBank to put into writing "We think we've satisfied our obligation to you because you told us to send it to your mother and instead we sent it to somebody in Cincinatti; that was totes reasonable." Or, rather, you want a lawyer at BigBank to say "Eff no I am not putting that in writing; pay him $300 and charge it off to operational losses, that's what that budget is for."

The difference that I see between FB and Google is that I would trust Google to get that right. I would expect FB to say they sandboxed or protected my data and then have it turn out in court in ten years that they did no such thing...

I find it interesting that nobody seems interested in studying the characteristics of people who have trouble with guns versus those who don't.

I was born and raised in a midwest state that relies largely on tourism. The pheasant hunting season in particular is a big deal. My family, friends, and just about everybody I knew owned guns. In that context, I knew absolutely nobody who ever used a gun to hurt a human being. And I knew all these people for several decades.

Blaming the guns is just wrong. There are other factors at play here. We need to leave the framework (2nd amendment) alone and start working the root cause issues.

> And herein is the reason why there are so few female engineers, especially in computer science, laid bare.

Do I read it correctly that "the reason" does not refer to how brains have evolved, but rather to the belief about how the brains have developed? In other words, do you consider the statement about the brains wrong?

If I understand that right, what other related beliefs do you have about brains? That they are exactly the same for men and women, that sexual hormones have zero influence on development and functioning of human brains, that all differences between male and female thinking and behavior are caused by society? Just making sure I am not debating a strawman.

"Tabula rasa" is a popular opinion in certain political circles, but there are two obvious problems with it:

1) It does not explain differences between male and female behavior in animals. Why do e.g. male birds behave differently from female birds; did patriarchy teach them to? A possible answer would be that evolution created mechanisms that apply to all animals, but for some reasons they do not apply to humans. And then humans invented patriarchy, which by sheer coincidence has a similar effect.

2) How about the brain differences where men get it worse? For example, boys being more likely autistic than girls; did patriarchy also do that? Because I am not aware of patriarchy having high opinion about autism; it seems rather the other way round, nerds being stereotypically bullied by jocks; so why would then patriarchy encourage boys to become more autistic?

Note: I agree that society often wildly exaggerates the gender differences, or adds some extra bullshit. I am just saying that this is an exaggeration and distortion of a real thing, not something invented from scratch.

> little girls should be encouraged to become more involved in being system builders and tinkerers, while little boys should be nurtured to develop and show significantly more empathy. This will be hard going, but the good news is that it is entirely doable.

Read up on how task queues work - they do fill a role of a load balancer, your video transcoding case is a perfect example application. Basically workers can leave/join the pool at any time, poll for more work whenever idle/done, and signal failures so that jobs can be retried later. There's no such thing as an idle worker, unless the queue is empty. No "overloaded" workers either, running two CPU-bound tasks concurrently won't get either of them done sooner. Your monitoring / auto-scaling system can watch the length of the task queue and add/remove workers as needed. (You can also try to combine this with AWS spot instances.)

Leaving it to readers to go out and actively vet the information on some other 'forum' just allows the propaganda to spread further than it otherwise would.
Well, I think that's what people are mostly concerned about. The current considerations regarding biometrics is that it ultimately results in an immutable means of identification that cannot be revoked. With IRL identification (passports, driver's licenses, state issued IDs), these all have means of being revoked in some way with varying degrees of efficacy.

Therein lies the issue with Biometric data being both username and password, for the most part. That most of the data is easily replicable aside, the fact is that you cannot control the cycle of your "credentials regeneration" since you're tied to the aging process. On top of that, the regeneration is even fairly predictable with current and past technology, and even non-technical solutions could accurately predict the physical changes in a person as they age.

Biometric data is a matter of convenience, not really security. Combine with an additional password, it at least serves the role of a Username well. For low-value items, it can make sense, provided proper pre-cautions are taken for actually sensitive data. (e.g., unlocking your phone is fine provided that sensitive data is protected with additional precautions).

Yes, I said "all" but it was clearly hyperbole.

The fact remains that what's true for Boing Boing is not necessarily true for CNN, and that there's adequate reason to believe self-interest affects CNN's coverage here.

The concept of independent traders and a merchant class uncontrolled by a central palace system of government really didn’t emerge until after the Late Bronze Age collapse circa 1170’s BCE. Before that, it was all about central control through the sovereigns, their (hugely extended) families, a system of “gift exchanges” that look a lot like commerce to us today, and control through priesthoods. It just wasn’t an option to get up and be a merchant on an international scale without your god-king giving you the rights at that time.
