>With this notice, EPA is soliciting public comment on a proposed regulation designed to provide a mechanism to increase access to dose response data and models underlying pivotal regulatory science in a manner consistent with statutory requirements for protection of privacy and confidentiality of research participants, protection of proprietary data and confidential business information, and other compelling interests.

>The proposal takes comment on how to ensure that, over time, more of the data and models underlying the science that informs regulatory decisions (over and above the dose response data and models underlying “pivotal regulatory science”) is available to the public for validation [13] in a manner that honors legal and ethical obligations to reduce the risks of unauthorized disclosure and re-identification.

>EPA believes that concerns about access to confidential or private information can, in many cases, be addressed through the application of solutions commonly in use across some parts of the Federal government.[16] Nothing in the proposed rule compels Start Printed Page 18771the disclosure of any confidential or private information in a manner that violates applicable legal and ethical protections. Other federal agencies have developed tools and methods to de-identify private information for a variety of disciplines.[17] The National Academies have noted that simple data masking, coding, and de-identification techniques have been developed over the last half century and that “Nothing in the past suggests that increasing access to research data without damage to privacy and confidentiality rights is beyond scientific reach.” [18] More recently, both the National Academies and the Bipartisan Commission on Evidence Based Policy [19] have discussed the challenges and opportunities for facilitating to secure access to confidential data for non-government analysts.

>Considering the breadth of dose response data and models used in the development of significant EPA regulations, the requirements for availability may differ. These mechanisms may range from deposition in public data repositories, consistent with requirements for many scientific journals,[20] to, for certain types of information, controlled access in federal research data centers that facilitate secondary research use by the public.[21] EPA should collaborate with other federal agencies to identify strategies to protect confidential and private information in any circumstance in which it is making information publicly available. These strategies should be cost-effective and may also include: Requiring applications for access; restricting access to data for the purposes of replication, validation, and sensitivity evaluation; establishing physical controls on data storage; online training for researchers; and nondisclosure agreements.[22]

"But what was especially interesting was that those who viewed vegetarians more negatively were also more likely to expect that vegetarians would view them negatively, suggesting that a fear of moral reproach might underlie negative views of vegetarians. Supporting this idea, when the threat of moral reproach was experimentally manipulated, the researchers found that it increased negative evaluations of vegetarians."
> I would guess some of the rules exist to reinforce obedience to the other rules.

If it existed, it seems like there would be evidence of this, in the literatures of educational research, training, and school management. I doubt there is conspiracy of school principals.

Schools are bureaucracies, and like every bureaucracy they have rules, often rules that seem nonsensical to people who haven't had to manage one. People feel like companies and other organizations are overly regimented too.
Blood thirst. Of all the causes you could take up, you take arms against a group of people who (albeit, according to their own values) want to restrict budgets from going to killing animals.

Scala has always nurtured that ridiculous notion that an animal that's 50% cat and 50% dog would appeal to both cat-lovers and dog-lovers, which doesn't actually make any sense.

This language is clearly an academic endeavor.

Disclaimer: I don't know what non-linear pattern matching on non-free data means either, but the fact that it's not explained to me is proof enough they aren't meaning to cater to non-academic users.
The biggest issue for me would be getting reimbursed for travel expenses. True that some companies don't buy food for their employees at all but I definitely expect to be fed while traveling for the company, and I would definitely be finding a new place to work if I couldn't eat meat while traveling.

In my case an i5 with only 256GB SSD and 13" is not so great.. and I would prefer to replace my 15" MBP from 2012 with a 1TB SSD and 16GB ram and an i7 with also a 15" MBP with similar class stuff.. I guess maybe if I got used to using an external monitor always then the 13" would be nice, and I would just use an external mouse and keyboard -- but then its not clear why I'm buying the mac since the display and trackpad are typically some of the selling points. Keyboard used to be, but not so much anymore..
Stating that you're not trying to trick someone doesn't really mean that your question isn't loaded.

I don't assign the same amount of moral agency to humans as I do to animals and I don't have to have a moral problem with a forest fire to not be happy about it killing a large number of animals, as an example.

But even if I did, a tiger in the jungle for example doesn't really have the ability to graze on grass.
Meanwhile, the human being can thrive on a plant based diet, and following one is trivial today.
Thank you, your words are very encouraging!
I don't know. Is Newton's work worthless, because we no longer have access to the full set of raw data that he based it off?

There are thousands of old studies for which the data is unavailable, incomplete, was lost, etc. Are you going to pay for all of them to be reproduced? Are you ready to give up penicillin? Surgeons washing their hands between operations? The links between tobacco and cancer? Every single medical advancement (Because patient confidentiality precludes the release of raw data that goes into medical studies)?

I'm all for reproducibility, but this has enormous consequences.
I meant it in the sense of the right to choose something as basic as what they eat while traveling.

This is an insane overreach of the employer/employee relationship, and the only reason it is getting a pass here is because the "right" kind of politics are behind it.

People seem to be getting into a tizzy about what 'ours' refers to here.

It refers to common and civil law, the two dominant legal traditions in the world. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_law#/media/File:Map_of_...

Both arose in Europe, and have been promulgated throughout the world.

These other legal traditions are often highlighted and discussed to show what assumptions the current dominant systems rely upon and what their biases tend to be.

It probably depends on what you make. Nuts and store-bought seitan are indeed quite expensive, but lentils and legumes are quite cheap. Where I live (major US city), tofu is only $1 a pack.
Supposing it was astrophysical, the chance coincidence is low yes, but:

> The muon-neutrino astrophysical spectrum, together with simulated data, was used to calculate the probability that a neutrino at the observed track energy and zenith angle in IceCube is of astrophysical origin. This probability, the so-called signalness of the event (14), was reported to be 56.5% (17).

Meaning there is about even odds this was not from outer space, but from a cosmic ray hitting the atmosphere, and we know cosmic rays point back at nothing in particular.

“Find your passion” is trope, but it’s also true, because that obsessive passion that people have about the ordinary is what allows them to create the extraordinary.

It's also already illegal to eat the latter two in the country in which WeWork operates.
You don't need an on-site gas station to let people expense gas. It's actually the opposite: employees generally expense things because they cannot get them on-site.
Refusing to serve meat == refusing to serve vegetables. Imagine if the inverse were true. People would flip.

All I want to convey is that I believe eating an omnivorous diet is an equal dietary preference to eating a herbivorous one. Deserving of the same protections, if any.

They'd be fools not to. Cryptocurrency trading is not regulated by SEC type entities (yet). Until it is regulated, you can get away with insider trading and even other activities like wash trading, painting the tape, pump and dump etc.

>And still, Rule of Law requires that those who enforce the law, follow the law.

Countries that believe the US interferes with their elections are free to try to do what the US is doing, and attempt to prosecute a case against whomever they can catch.

Otherwise... what conclusion are we meant to reach? That countries which engage in espionage or which interfere with other countries' elections shouldn't have espionage laws or should allow any interference in their own? There's no argument of equivocation one could make to excuse or exonerate Russia in this case that doesn't also do the same for the US.
When I was traveling solo for a prolonged period of time, I occasionally booked with new hosts. They were substantially cheaper, and you could usually figure out if they were honest or not by having a quick conversation and carefully reading the listing. Never had any problems. At worst, the rooms were a bit dirty at times (which was fine by me). At best, they were some of the most attentive hosts I had, and I'm happy to watch their positive reviews grow over the years following my initial one.

There will always be people willing to take a risk.
You should withdraw this personal attack as it is not in keeping with the ethos of HN with which you agreed to abide.

You will note that my statement was carefully neutral and did not endorse either side of the issue. WeWork also carefully did not use "blood" as a reason for their policy, instead describing it as a global warming/emissions related measure.

In any case, I am more in favor of people not doing numerically and scientifically unsupportable things to folks who work for them.
I can't downvote you, HN doesn't allow you to downvote people who reply to you.

I'll leave you with this quote of yours to consider:

> Choosing not to eat is self-destruction and there is absolutely nothing about that that's a moral choice. In fact, it's generally accepted to be immoral.

If something is immoral, there must have been a moral choice made to engage in the immoral activity. "Moral choice" here is a technical term which means the choice itself has moral weight, not that the choice is moral.
I spent all my life an omnivore, until the last two years I became vegetarian; 6 of those months vegan. I’m inclined to agree with you if you meant that a ‘satiated’ vegan diet is more expensive, because often the (lower demand / higher price) raw ingredients to make meals from scratch are more niche and varied.

However, once you throw (principally) dairy into the mix, including mass-market meat substitutes (such as Quorn which often contains dairy derivatives), your options expand to the point where it is easy to a) just drop the meat and increase veg. intake with supplemented dairy from common dishes or b) replace the meat with a price-competitive meat substitute.

If you did indeed mean vegetarianism in general then I’m keen to know why you think it is more expensive.

I’m with other commenters here that this is a weird cost-saving measure from WW, and that dietary choices should not be imposed on people like this (whilst acknowledging WW is a private company and can do whatever they want—- it’s just a strange way to force it on people IMO)
> Joins are slow and complicated, and ORMs are slow and complicated, so you can never actually use any of these things in a high-traffic environment. As you say, not many people will reach these levels of traffic, but it is still a factor.

You can eat whatever you want, WeWork simply won't reimburse you if it is meat.

Once again to reiterate, they are not limiting your choice, they are limiting what they will reimburse.

How did I misunderstand? It was not willfull. Maybe they were speaking tongue in cheek and I did not realize? It seemed they were willfully misunderstanding the life of Frederick Douglass which came across as malicious to the struggle for human rights.
It was very weird reading your comment, because I went down the same rabbit hole a few months ago. Nothing in BB&B, Target, or Macy's. Lots in Amazon, but all looked fake. (3,500 thread count? How dumb do I look?)

Ended up getting them in a really weird B&M place. I'd never buy sheets on Amazon.

Also, I'll probably never get another calking sized bed.
Really good book, I really encourage everyone who's interested in cities to read it.
> specially because kale chips are delicious :)

This is OT, but I'm curious: what do kale chips taste like to you? A little sweet? To me, they taste like lemon rind without the "lemony" taste. Just pure bitterness.
> Stating that you're not trying to trick someone doesn't really mean that your question isn't loaded.

True, but I try not to have such a pessimistic perspective.

> I don't have to have a moral problem with a forest fire to not be happy about it killing a large number of animals, as an example.

That's an interesting example, thanks.

> But even if I did, a tiger in the jungle for example doesn't really have the ability to graze on grass. Meanwhile, the human being can thrive on a plant based diet, and following one is trivial today.

I don't think I would call it trivial. I suppose in the same way that some choose not to assign the same amount of moral agency to animals, I choose not to designate consumption of animals as an immoral thing to do.
That would make all the dentists selfless people. Its not that straightforward.
Your garden is fine. But he's going to judge you silently if he sees you near a grocery store.
The easy solution would be to delay the TV signal by as much. This is only a problem during the world cup, and only because your neighbors will yell goal before you can see it. Delay artificially the TV and the problem is gone.
I feel like the current backlash against Amazon fails to consider the question: What would the alternative be if Amazon never adopted the 3rd party Marketplace or added the international sellers?

Selection would be significantly smaller. Some percentage of items that are currently getting overwhelmed with fraud would be available safer, sure, but likely at a much higher price (competition lowers prices, after all).

Everyone remembers the time they got a crappy knockoff, or had to filter through fake reviews. But most of the time, people just search for something, buy it, and are satisfied, never having to consider whether it was only fulfilled by Amazon.

At least there is a consistent search/shopping experience, and the refunds are generally instantaneous and there are no questions asked. You can't say that about dealextreme, or alibaba, or dozens of other sites we'd be forced to use if Amazon didn't decide to take on the long tail fo sellers and become responsible for solving the fraud use cases.
> People who weren't online in an earlier time should probably refrain from making statements about how it was different

Would you care to contextualize these statements in a manner that upon first, second, or third reading doesn't qualify as assumptions and/or general grand standing?
> No one's going to get sued for a reimbursement policy

I wouldn't be so sure.

> They don't have an obligation to reimburse

They don't have an obligation to hire people, either, but if hiring doesn't make reasonable accommodations for disability, it's still illegal.
As a business decision this seems incredibly odd. Being vegetarian or supporting vegetarianism does not seem like it would have disproportionate representation among either their target clientele or their target employees. As such it seems to me it would have minor negative effect on their perception by clients, and moderately negative impact on their perception by employees. I don't see why they would risk that for a cause entirely unconnected to their business, for which there are many less controversial ways to make an impact (energy efficiency in their buildings, commitment to purchase carbon free energy, etc).
New research is overwhelmingly more likely to hurt industrial interests than help them, so adding any hoops at all is likely going to benefit industry. In fact, all that this does, from a regulatory perspective, is provide a pathway for the EPA to accept and reject studies at its own discretion, without having to ever actually call the result into question.
Oh no...

Paul Hudak's book "The Haskell School of Expression" is probably the most beautiful programming-related book I ever read. It not only got me into Haskell (significantly altering my programming path in life), it was also such a joy to read.
They will feel the full effects of their decisions, whatever those may be. I suspect they will not be large. I certainly can’t be arsed to care about this and I don’t see why you’d exert effort to “make sure” of anything here.
A bit of caution, I haven't worked in distributed systems for some time now. And I am sure there many people more competent than I.

But in general the cliche of "Great artists steal" applies here. If AWS/GCE/Azure (or any other major software vendor) is offering a service or a feature, then it is almost certainly solving a problem somebody has. If you don't understand what problem is being solved, then you cannot possibly account for that problem in your design. Today, the manuals for these software features are documented in unprecedented accuracy. Read them, and try to reverse engineer in your head how you would build them.

For example; AWS' IAM roles seems like a problem which could be solved by far more trivial solutions. Just put permissions in a DB and query it when a user wants to do something. Why do we need URN's for users, resources, services, operations, etc? And why do those URN's need to map to URI's? Well, if you look at the problem - it ends up being a big graph which is in the general case immutable over namedspaced assets. So reverse engineer that, how would you build that?

This is the danger of the "law is just code" mindset of companies interacting with customers/clients. In the rush to automate and process-ize interactions with "mere humans" under a Great Algorithm, they forget that effective law and processes relies not on kafkaesque bureaucracies following flowcharts blindly, but by ensuring that human judgment is kept in the loop.

Beware the rise of the techno-bureaucracy, as it is only a low-dimensional lossy encoding of what we actually want.
