You are thinking in terms of city limits, not the size of the metro area.

"London" city limits were expanded to contain all of its suburbs (and even some un-settled farmland) in 1965, so the present-day city population of ~8 million is substantially the same as its total metro area population. The current London city limits aggregate what used to be 33 county governments, plus countless towns and villages.

NYC hasn't expanded its city limits since 1898! The 1898 city expansion aggregated three county-level governments, and formed new boroughs from parts of two more, to create the current five boroughs. The modern-day NYC metro area population is ~21 million people, ~27 million if you count the distant exurbs, but only 8.5 million live in the 1898 borders.

Chicago's last expansion, excluding the airport, was just a few square miles in 1930. As a result, its current metro area population is about ten million, even though only 2.7 million live in city limits. (Chicago's metropolitan statistical area is unusually small because it is cheek to jowl with other cities, tho)

Observations are inherently a posteriori, not a priori, this is true. However, "universal observation" is not the same as "objective" or "a priori". I'd call the experience of suffering a type of universal observation, but it's not an a priori statement, and it's certainly not objectively evaluable.

That said, the phrase remains mostly meaningless without more context; I'm certainly not trying to defend the phrase itself.

Reposts are great, but I also enjoy comments linking to previous discussions. It's nice to have a look at what was said before.
I support all efforts to teach version control. I've had to teach +40 year old developers git, and got to skip it with interns. I feel like getting people productive is so much easier if they know how something like git works at the start.

10 Altcoins That Will Survive the Bloodbath
Johnson & Johnson tried more than a decade ago to bring a fructose metabolism inhibitor to market after chemist Bruce Maryanoff, who discovered the blockbuster anti-epilepsy treatment Topamax, developed several of them. However, the drug failed before ever reaching a clinical trial, and J&J didn’t think funding more research would yield a commercial success, the now-retired Maryanoff said in an interview.

Topamax is a good example of how drug discovery can work.

The substance is an intermediate in the synthesis of a group of potential fructose metabolism inhibitors the Maryanoff group at Johnson&Johnson(J&J) was pursing.

Two practices allowed Topamax to be serendipitously discovered:

1. Maryanoff's group routinely submitted synthetic intermediates to the J&J compound collection in multi-gram quantities.

2. A pharmacologist was aware of the compound collection and became aware of the similarity of the non-sugar part of the intermediate to certain anti-seizure drugs. He ordered some and decided to test it in an in vivo model.

Is it a "Master's Degree" or is it an "Online Master's Degree" because they keep saying online, and OMS instead of MS, etc.

I suspect that will be stigmatic, or is already.

If that is the case, then why waste $10K on a degree that is no more valuable than "self taught"?

Is an OMS from Georgia Tech more convincing than "I read some books and here's a good portfolio of personal projects" ? It's a hard sell.
Nope.

Just ask the people in London who live among all the empty properties that have been bought by various Russian oligarchs or other people who want to exfiltrate their wealth from the countries where they "acquired" it.

I wonder if they could detect cancer with these scanners. Maybe have them automatically scan for it and send it to my doctor.
That's the funny thing with bullshit isn't it? You can give a meaningless statement and people will just attach a meaning to it if it clicks.
which really cuts to the core of it: shoehorning something that should be its own app into a website -- all your above problems solved.

The web was not designed for such use, yet we continue to stretch and abuse whats there and wonder why most sites suck and get it wrong.
I think there is a good chance he won't be in control of Tesla in 18 months. Prison is not out of the question.
So it's all bullshit?
The revolving door tends to be between the SEC and Wall Street. Tesla is a bit further down the road, as it were.
I think this is actually a study designed to determine who can detect bullshit studies. "Bullshit-sensitivity" here appears to mean "reading comprehension."

I'm pretty meh about this. In particular: when we think about the "cybersecurity talent shortage" (I don't believe that one exists, but whatever), we're thinking about what this degree program considers "technical specialization" roles. I don't look at that course list and think of a consistent cohort of people it produces that are especially ready to take on jobs in my field.

I'm also: why do they make Cybersecurity MS candidates take that pointless Applied Cryptography class? I read the lecture slides for it, and, like most university crypto classes, it's "just enough cryptography to make you dangerous, with just enough math notation to make you think you learned something really hard that you didn't really learn".

The MS core classes are an intro to computer security that might be workable as a 100-level class in a serious CS program, a "policies" class that looks just absolutely deadly (1 week on "HIPAA, GLBA, FISMA", then a week on the "NIST cybersecurity framework", then a week on "cybercrime and cyberwar"), and a capstone independent study program.

My advice: get an internship and skip the MS. They'll pay you to learn this stuff.
I never said a pac couldn't advertise political causes... BUT they just can't mention politicians... i.e. they can't be a 3rd arm 'unapproved' tentacle representing a political campaign...
You're right, the wording is just not accurate. I mean, something like fighting for equal rights vs fighting for domination.

Equality is empowering but celebrating control over the other gender makes it about power over another.
> The statement is an appeal to empathy.

Apparently, I'm a highly functioning sociopath then ;).
Shameful self promotion, but I am currently working on a user feedback collection crm at www.testimonly.com check it out to see if you might be interested.
It probably depends on the market where you’re job-hunting. In tech worker starved areas like the Midwest and South, it’s probably a sufficient credential. Either of the coasts, obviously less so.
We badly needed a multi-user capable tool so I hacked something that replicates the 2% of Leo's functionality that we need to get our work done. It's far from ideal but two years on there are a few tens of thousands of nodes in the system and it has already far outlived it's expected life-span (as always...).

We really will do that rewrite one of these days though, especially with more than one job on the go at once the system will start to show its limitations.

Even so, for a three day hack it has done remarkably well.
edX has a bunch of upcoming online Master's degrees:

https://www.edx.org/masters

I wonder which schools will be offering the CS, EE, and Accounting Master's. Hopefully MIT, MIT, and UT-Austin, respectively. Does anyone know anything beyond what's already posted?
Ah, I see what you're saying.

But I don't want to compare countries. I'm not sure if there's a "right" level of military spending, but I think pro-Military-Industrial-Complex forces in the US purposefully obscure the cost in order to not erode popular support.
People use Leo in different ways...

I used to use Leo for notes on everything I was working on. The killer feature for me was the tree outline pane could clone nodes. So I could have one subtree of say Projects, another of say my Jira tickets, a third on Talks and Blog Posts. And then have clones of the current ones all together in a subtree called Current. I would adjust their order each morning as my prioritised To Do list for the day.

More recently, I have tried switching to orgmode. Some aspects are great. But I really miss Leo's tree pane 'table of contents' and its clonable nodes.
Finally! I've been waiting ten years or so for this API. It's about time that alternative terminal emulation becomes possible on Windows.
Devil's advocate: You are being searched/scanned before you get on someone else's property (i.e., an airplane). I understand that the government is running this (TSA), but I imagine if the airports/airlines were running it we would think about it differently.
That API is using pipes.

The jury was in in the mid 1990's, but Linus Torvalds doesn't know when he's wrong and to listen to his betters. Linux succeeded because of its community, not because of its architecture. QnX has shown the strength of microkernels for decades, they are far more stable and much easier to work on than monoliths. The (small) speed penalty should be well worth the price of admission.
> You cannot infer any of that from the simple act of consuming books. Books range from essentially written porn all the way up to dissertations on philosophy.

It's just someone regurgitating Received Wisdom from the TV Age, when everyone was absolutely convinced that the world was on its way out as everyone got TV and destroyed their minds watching nonsense. Why, I betcha they'll be up to 1500 channels by 2015, I betcha, and absolutely nobody reading anything at all.

Think "Brian O'Blivion" from Videodrome, except people being obtuse enough to take it seriously.

Anyway, ideas have a way of sticking around, zombie-like, well after their original context is gone, being parroted by people who have no idea where they originally came from, or why. It's impossible to seriously evaluate everything in your head, but stepping outside the system every once in a while and asking why you think what you think is a good thing.
Also, lots of Indians find Indian food spicy. My mom and aunts and brother are spice nuts. My grandmother will literally eat raw chilis, but my dad, my uncle, myself, and my grandfather, when he was alive, aren't super into spicy food. My uncle turns read and gets sweaty whenever he eats my mother's food, and my dad and i cope by consuming copious amounts of yogurt.

Like, years and years of practice have made me able to ignore the pain and eat what my mother cooks when we visit, but that's not to say I'm a fan of the spice. My wife often asks how I handle my mother's spice, and the answer is -- I ate it as a hungry teenage boy when I was too hungry to stop for water, so I just grit my teeth and power through.
I love your optimism, but it wasn't anything that wonderful.

It forces the students to be consistent. That's all. However, that's huge by itself.

Very few of them understood the larger purpose of version control. Almost all of them simply viewed it as a robust, reliable homework submission system (too many professors had Blackboard(tm) things that sucked giant hairy donkey balls). And since I had automated tests running, they could get feedback instantly for almost a full two weeks as to whether they were passing or not.

And that view as a submission system was sufficient. A couple students started figuring out merging. A couple tied themselves into knots or lost files and I had to help them out of the morass. That was fine, too.

As for collaboration, I almost never allow group projects because I can't control the team dynamics of them like a real manager would control team dynamics.

The only time I give a "group" assignment is when it is "the class" vs "me". One class wanted extra credit. "Fine. Here is the code I use to run automated tests against the code you all submit. Contribute some tests. Tests have to pass on correct code and fail on bad code. Whoever submits a correct test gets a point (limit 10) and the class overall gets 1/10 of a point."

Not a single point given. And a couple students learned that validating that your code is correct is MUCH more difficult than simply writing the code to the specification that the professor gave you...
Taken from the FAQ:

How will this degree appear on my diploma and/or transcript?
The name "Online Master of Science" is an informal designation to help both Georgia Tech and prospective students distinguish the delivery method of the OMS program from our on-campus degree. The degree name in both cases is Master of Science in Computer Science.

The point stands that it would be relatively easy to know which version someone completed (you worked in New York but got a masters at Georgia Tech?). I personally believe the value to be roughly equal to a "real" degree.
For many who have facial deformities, depending on how severe, every day can be a challenge as they are continually reminded by the condition they live with - and potentially the inherent limitations (actual or self-imposed) of that condition. This can be a very negative space to be in - day in and day out.

I urge all of you with children, to please foster empathy in your little people for other people less fortunate. Children can at times say the most brutal and hurtful things - and these hurtful words or even laughter - especially for children with deformities - can be very painful.

While shocking to see the pictures in this article, I hope many (most? all?) of us feel great empathy for her or others with facial or other deformities.

Thank you for being so open about your reactions to the article.
"All clients are in the same process", so you only get multiple processes if you roll your own IPC (as I understand it).
how about a button styled to look like a button? and a button has usual functionality...
If it's like OMSCS, it will be a simple MS, no mention of online. The method of delivery isn't really relevant, just the content.
I'm wondering how much the companies who make these things lobby/donate to Congress. I think these scanner technologies are good for two applications: medicine and surveillance. I imagine the medical field is already saturated, but if you get governments to mandate them you are opening up new markets to sell your technology.

But to play devil's advocate, people are wearing bomb vests. See the attempted bombing underground at the subway/Port Authority bus terminal in NYC last December (it's mentioned in the article).
(because there is no toplevel comment saying this):

it is emacs' org mode on steroids. If you don't like org mode, move along.

...And some of the side effects of the steroids are already showing (e.g. "you can embed html in markdown". Really? So it is now an html renderer with markdown 'shortcuts'?)
They can still exist and advertise their causes, they just can't run positive/negative ads towards a political campaign. My goal w/ this idea is more for campaign purity rather than 'silencing' voices.

run ads about climate change all you want, just don't mention any politician by name in a positive or negative light... Only that campaign/politician can mention themselves and/or their opponent - though part of me would like negative opponent-based ads done away with too..I hate those.. but w/e...that's probably too much to ask for.

I'd like to see a time come when the only ads you see for a poltician are the ones that end w/ 'My name is ___ and I approve this message' and the ONLY person they talk about is themselves and/or their family and people they work with in a positive light. Instead of degrading their opponent. Some of Bernie's ads were perfect examples -- his America ad was amazing and just awesome and it didn't degrade Clinton or attack her, it instead elicited strong emotions of hope.
Honest question: where do Postgres and MySQL fall down for such deployments? What is the administration required? Backups? Users and permissions? Indices?

FWIW I use sqlite for a personal wiki, i.e. a website with exactly one user :)
We have quad-floats (128-bit) now which seem to work alright.
Also its a bit of a misrepresentation of how the questions were framed as they weren't asked to evaluate if answers were bullshit but rather if they were profound or not. We're going in with the preset mind frame sussing out the bullshit answers as opposed to the more open-ended testing scenario.

Framing of questions always affects the outcome of answers.

Lastly, a few of these read like the Chopra quote generator.

In case the author is reading this there is a broken link for "screen-shots", looks like a simple mistake of not including the root.
GATech brought in $68M from their $6,800 CS degree?

"OMS Cybersecurity is Georgia Tech’s third at-scale online degree program. It will follow the same model as the groundbreaking online Master of Science in Computer Science (OMSCS) program, which launched in 2014 on Udacity with support from AT&T and has enrolled approximately 10,000 students overall for the $6,800 degree."
You could have a master slave architecture where you disable it for the slaves only.
It really depends on the use cases.
Does this mean that it will now be easy to port terminator to windows?
As impressed as I am by the facial transplant I think I'm even more in awe of the fact that they were able to save her life after sustaining such a grievous maxillofacial and cranial injury. I can't even fathom the amount of intensity it probably took to keep her among us.
Can conhost still do anything that users of the new API can't?
Hmm, yeah, you know what now that you mention it there's loads of charismatic billionaires in prison for their tweets.
the ban would only be so far as they support or advocate against a political campaign running for office...all other ads are game.

Success takes time. Nothing great comes easy. Most successful entrepreneurs are over 40 year old, contrary to the media bs. You have to fight for the things you want in life.

Another poster listed the curriculum. As a security professional from a top software company I am not really impressed.

The curriculum is as follows (tech specialization, the others are worse):

1 intro to security

1 intro to policy

1 hands on lab

1 crypto

1 netsec

2 it security

choice of (2):

basic CS courses (i.e. mobile apps, operating systems)

None of that will help you get a job at any company with a serious security org. All of those courses from what I could find are the same introductory level electives you can get in your BS degree in CS.

It is not a specialized program, it is more of an introduction to security and CS at the MS level.

Things that would help:

Client XSS, Authentication / Session Management, Secure client/server architecture, defining access boundaries, phishing / social engineering, red team / blue team setup, automated vulnerability regression tests, SSDL, threat modeling, etc.
It mirrors an on-campus program. Online !== self-study.

You might want to talk to the Cygwin people to get their pty layer to use the new virtual console.
That's a good point -- customers definitely react to our spice levels differently. We use authentic, family recipes so people not used to spice sometimes have a hard time. We're exploring adding a lower spice option for each product, so hopefully soon!

I would also say that food from any region of India is Indian food, and you can further specify what type of Indian food by direction (i.e. South/North) or region (i.e. Gujurati/Rajastani/Tamil).
We already have surveillance devices that we pay for ourselves (i.e., cell phones, etc.)
Some of that goes to Udacity.
Firearms advocates don't think that it's ever the appropriate time to talk about the issues. It's always "too soon" after a tragedy because guns cause so many tragedies in America every day. This story is about someone who needs a new face because she made an impulsive decision and had access to a gun, so it removed her face. No other form of suicide would have led to this scenario. In fact, if there wasn't an easily accessible gun, it's entirely possible this might not have led to a suicide attempt at all. Gun control is ESSENTIAL to this story.
Just wondering, what's the motivation to restrict access? Is it to keep costs down in case someone decides to run up your bill with a flurry of requests?
OK, but that's not "completely anonymous".

Maybe it'd be OK if they had a way to authenticate without retaining any record of the mapping. And could prove it, somehow. But otherwise it's bullshit.

I mean, the Tor Project is very careful not to claim that Tor is "completely anonymous".
BCD support was more important for languages that are no longer quite as popular. Having native support made the CPUs look that much better on benchmarks for those particular languages resulting in more business.
Now it's a good time to revive microkernel for prime as server less offers the abstraction for making transition transparent to users and application developers.

Anyone tried that?
Typically gender roles in societies like these (tribal) or others that don't care about gender-sex association are more pronounced.
