I think education in critical thinking would solve the problem, but I also think digital media literacy would help too and is probably an easier lesson to scale.
Oh, I don't know, I have just heard of these coins myself. But based on OPs response it is hard to tell if they just dislike cryptocoins altogether, or if they read about the specifics and disliked the specifics of this one cryptocoin.
Here's a novel idea. Most founders work long hours. Their work is their life (for the most part). I wasn't aware you had to take a vow of celibacy to start a company...

Also 'inappropriate incidents' is completely undefined.

A lot of these fake news sites don’t care about the truth. They’re all about generating clicks to their sites which produce revenue.

Well, Tesla claims that. It's quite possible that neither will happen.
freetrade.io uses market makers (or reserves the right to anyway):

In the US they would be required to disclose how much they are being compensated for that. I don't know if that is a requirement for the UK so have been unable to magic search term my way to their disclosures.
I think there's some of both. Teaching is not the same as doing, or coaches would be players. A person doesn't need to be well-educated or have a high IQ to be level-headed, patient, tolerant, and loving. But child psychology is absolutely a real field, and even the best parents can learn something from it. I wouldn't dismiss either one.
Also if your sending that amount of emails, you want your own IP. Maybe even two IPs, One for transactional and one for marketing.
At what point are we no longer celebrating a life well lived?

Paul Allen loved computing, and funded a living computing museum, along with with another museum dedicated to to pop culture. I wouldn't presume to know how he'd feel about a meme based tribute, but I sure as heck wouldn't feel the need to spit on one for not meeting my own criteria for respectfulness or sincerity.

RIP. Paul Allen - one smart cookie, who lived more than most of us ever will.
That's how you're saying the internalizer made money on it. Obviously, they make money on the order flow. The question is how they cost you anything. What could you have done differently to capture the $2.40 in hypothetical profits here?

Does the Apple watch not work?

How would that be different if they didn't have a device? They would have died anyway, right?

We're already there for anyone who wants it. A Prius gets essentially the same gas mileage as the Citigo while also being more appropriately sized for American tasets.
I think reducing the variability does lead to more stability on average. It makes it more likely that a President and the next President appoint the same or nearly the same number of Justices, and so that when the Presidents are from different parties they counter each other.

Also, I suspect that on a significantly larger court Justices would be more likely to retire younger, because they would know that their leaving is not going to cause major changes even if they leave during the term of a President they disagree with.
Sad day. RIP Paul Allen. His legacy and contributions will have a lasting impact forever.
Getting to "hello world" is often the biggest hurdle.

Anyone here who ever taught a course to beginners where each person brought their own computer? I bet you've got stories about the hundred million ways that setting up a dev environment can go wrong. And it's even worse if that beginner doesn't even have an actual teacher guiding them.
If you read their order-execution statement they are very clearly doing things that are going to have bad execution.

Their 'default' order price is a market order that they promise will not clear until after hours or the next day.

This is quite possibly the worst way a retail investor could send in an order.
So other brokers charge you and sell your trade data and Robinhood just sell your trade data? I'll just stick with Robinhood then..
The problem is that a lot of top-tier schools MUST maintain the veil of a deterministic selection process. If it becomes known that these schools are essentially picking names out of a hat, then they will be inundated with applications and the 'brand' will be devalued as they will be swamped with applications.

Think of it as a lottery. If the selection was actually random, what would be the price of the lotto ticket? Based on last year's acceptance rate of ~3% and the expected lifetime earnings of ~$3,000,000, then the price you should pay for that lotto ticket should be $89,800. Now, compare that to the actual price of ~$75 for an application fee. Even a flimsy application to Harvard is totally worth the money.

If Harvard were to drop the act and state that it was basically random chance to get in, then their entire school would become essentially a lotto. That would quickly devalue the enterprise, not just monetarily but also in a holistic and educational way.

Essentially, they have to at least try to CYA and make some real effort at determinism in applications or the whole thing falls apart. Unfortunately, they pissed off some pretty smart people and this legal battle threatens to lift that veil, hence the fight.

Facts and circumstances matter; not every case is comparable. In the specific case of buying airplane tickets, it’s reasonable for a carrier to infer intent to travel to a particular destination from the user’s input.
Isn't it the case these days that if you aren't sending spam and have a stable sending IP that the system will eventually learn that you are not a spammer and your emails will get delivered?

It can take months for an IP to earn a reputation as a non-spammer, but once it's earned I find it hard to believe that Sendgrid offers any additional ability to get emails delivered outside of the natural earning of reputation.
> unless you were going to be marginal to begin with.

Which is a nice way of saying unless you would have advanced and now you're not.

Clearly in this scenario helping a few is the same as hurting a few. Helping many is the same as hurting many.

Harvard has ~2000 slots a year. How many of those would be asian if not for this discrimination?
Well, the Ptolemys were actually Greek though, more specifically Macedonian, and descended from one of the leaders of an army that created the Hellenistic era. I'm not sure we can equate them with a scholar who just happen to speak the same language if we're doing so to qualify people as "Greek".

I also feel the need to point out how hilariously pedantic this conversation is, and how much I enjoy that.

Wow, that has got to be hard to swallow now.
For interested parties, the Museum of Pop Culture (stylized as MoPOP) is the new name of the Experience Music Project (EMP) as of 2017. This was to reflect its wider scope into science fiction, fantasy, and popular culture at large.

It’s a magnificent museum and worth any lengths to visit.
(I work at Google, also on Chrome)

Amusingly, we added the implicit signal a long time ago for 1FPS security cameras:
https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=338529

Coincidentally, we're at FOMS right now talking to other browsers about standardizing an explicit signal that will provide additional effects on MSE buffering and audio preroll size.
What is the missing sauce? My understanding is that once your sending IP has some history and has developed a reputation as not sending spam, there isn't anything offered by Sendgrid that improves upon that.

If you set up SPF and Domainkeys/DKIM that is an added vote of confidence but Sendgrid doesn't even require it, so I think most of the value of Sendgrid is simply offering a stable IP address and a convenient API. Am I wrong?
Not to belittle the situation for women, and I'm very well aware that it's worse for them than men, but it's not exclusive to women. It's just incredibly common in general.

I've been sexually harassed as a man, and I'm not even a particularly attractive bloke. Obviously it's different, I didn't have to worry about being followed home and pinned down by someone that's a foot taller and 50 lb heavier than me. If someone's being inappropriate with me, I can tell them to fuck off with little fear of repercussions, I don't have to be polite and worry about them retaliating, meanwhile I have a friend who was punched in the face at a nightclub because she rejected some guy's advances.
What I am little surprised about is why institutions like MIT still limiting themselves to the depleting pool of talent in USA alone. Given the gov plans to even outright ban Chinese students these universities will not survive.

Also, as an aviation enthusiast, I am really thankful for the Flying Heritage museum, which is one of his endeavors.

Keeping historically important aircraft airworthy is something that is keeping the dream of aviation alive. It is too sad that so many have been scrapped (the great flying boats all but went extinct), but this is one effort that sets an example - and benefits the humanity.

Another one for the Bitcoin Obituaries https://99bitcoins.com/bitcoinobituaries

Honestly I have no idea whats going to happen. I threw some money into Bitcoin I was okay with loosing and check on it every few months. It's been fun.

Maybe some perfect storm of the Lightning Network, Web Payments and dodgy banks or failing economies will bring about some crypto-utopia. Or maybe it will implode and in the end all we have done is collectively purchased a metric shit ton of GPU's.

Actually, that's not all we would have done. It didn't work out but at least we ran the experiment.
I feel that people believe that they can get away with things because they imagine a situation where you can argue on a technicality and get away with it.

In reality if they want to punish you for this they'll see right through it. Loopholes are only loopholes because there's an established history of authorities not willing to enforce it (brown paper bags around liquor bottles, "Suggested Donations").
Increased polarization has caused the legislative Branch at all levels to grind to a halt. As a result the majority party, in many cases Republicans, have used illiberal means to consolidate power. As a result are heading down a path of making the court so politicized that the rulings lose their backing.

The West Virginia cases is ridiculous but I won't be surprised if there are other shenanigans w.r.t the court being executed all across the country.

fipple, you need to look more carefully at the math for rayiner's hypothetical. When the top 25% advance, there is a difference between 10% of competitors being given an unfair advantage over you, and 100% of competitors being given that advantage.

This isn't to say that the former scenario is acceptable; I certainly do not appreciate the typical level of intellectual dishonesty surrounding endorsement of the status quo. But it is important to be precise regarding what we are talking about. You are making a mathematical error, and you need to correct it before this discussion can usefully proceed.
In the previous semester system, the campus was mostly empty during the summer.

The way that they did the quarter system reduced breaks and filled the campus year round. The result was an increased number of hours of classroom time. Yes, this was more work for the faculty. But faculty is cheaper than buildings, and the primary mission of the school is teaching.

They did not double the hours. But in the early years, they also had a pretty lopsided male/female ratio. They kept their promise.

The core problem here is how one goes about seeking funding. Star Citizen has been hugely successful in gaining funding, which has been more of a problem than a benefit. Every new round of crowd funding or investment was married to increased promises from the devs to deliver even more. The game had to be all things to all people. Which is always easy to do hypothetically in the future than practically in the here and now.
The compromise was that the Northern states gave southern blacks any representation. The correct value was actually 0/5ths for slaves, not 3/5ths or 5/5ths. Southerners wanted it both ways in that they could justify slavery because blacks were property - more akin to a beast of burden than a farmhand - and not humans with inalienable rights, but when it came to the census, they wanted blacks to be counted as humans, even though they could not vote and had no representation in both the state and federal legal system.
> How would that be different if they didn't have a device? They would have died anyway, right?

Maybe. If they think that the device will help them in their hour of need, then they may be taking chances they normally would not have. To have something remote brick and then not tell the people that it was bricked is a gigantic ethical violation.

> Does the Apple watch not work?

Not to a medically relevant level:

"Apple Watch cannot detect all falls. The more physically active you are, the more likely you are to trigger Fall Detection due to high impact activity that can appear to be a fall.”

I'm really glad someone has identified that it's about context and each instance should be judged on a case-by-case basis. I'm equally surprised that at the same time, it comes with a list of pre-judged decisions where you have removed the context in favour of just the title of the event.

There are absolutely situations in bars and house parties where one should not make any kind of move. Likewise, there are office parties where one could.

Before I get to the next bit, it's important to realise and understand that "no" really does mean no. With that in mind, it's also true that there are men and women who say "no", but still mean yes. This is one small facet of that whole debate, but the point is subtleties matter. People saying "no" when they mean yes is still a real thing, like it or not, and some people have a hard time differentiating when this is the case. There are also people who of course don't care, but they are far less controversial. What we need to do is all pull together to work to clarify how we communicate interest in each other. And that means all people, of all sexes and genders and orientations and class.
But this survey is anonymous no? How does fear of retaliation affect results in anonymous survey?

Thanks for the corrections.
I'm skeptical about the idea of dropping astronauts into the Venusian atmosphere and then trying to get them out again. On the other hand I think maybe you could make a case for a manned Venus flyby mission. This would allow for teleoperated robots on the surface with relatively minimal latency over, say, a few days. This is good because you maximize rover effectiveness over the short period of time before the coolant runs out.

A flyby mission would only take something like 15 months which puts it within the maximum limit for astronauts to be in zero-gee. This would make a flyby mission much safer than a Mars mission because it's a lot shorter and doesn't even presume to make a landing (floating?). It might serve as a decent intermediate step between lunar missions and Mars missions.

Of course I'm personally looking for any good excuse to do any kind of manned mission that would get us out of low earth orbit, so I'm not completely objective.
An accurate presentation of the facts very rarely looks like presenting precisely two opposing sides as having equally valid ideas, and then refusing to contextualise the debate that you've artifically created in doing so.
How to Write a Technical Paper [pdf]
Harvard (and other Ivies) repurposed a mechanism originally introduced by Yale to keep Jews out in the 1930s. If those Asian candidates had not been excluded using the arbitrary and capricious "personal" rating, it's mostly Caucasians who would have been displaced, not African-Americans or Hispanics.

The personal rating differs widely between the admissions committee and the the alumni volunteers (who give Asians roughly the same ratings as other groups). This happens for no other ethnic group. This is the smoking gun for racial discrimination.
Using radio at all is probably always going to be a terrible design choice for any medical device that relies on a non-rechargeable internal battery. Last year's pacemaker security alerts included the usual braindead protocols and broken authentication, but the really interesting vulnerability was about power usage. The pacemaker didn't rate-limit it's "RF wake-up" actions; anybody with a radio could spam those commands just to get the pacemaker to turn on it's transmitter to quickly ("hours") drain the entire internal battery.

The older designs that used magnetic coupling to communicated required holding a bulky device right next to where the pacemaker was implanted may have been annoying to use, but that kind of roadblock is a feature for pacemakers and other devices where changing the battery requires major surgery.

Also, for anybody that missed it: Karen Sandler gave a very good followup talk[2] earlier this year where she discusses her attempts to get the source code for her own pacemaker.

I hate saying things like this because it's very meaningless, but this time it's a bit too much. UNC Chapel Hill is absolutely an elite institution. It's one of the most prestigious public schools in the world (recall recent Nobels) and has a very low acceptance rate. Beliefs like this mostly come from the absurd favoritism of the society to private schools. Most people I met would consider a private school roughly as prestigious as UNC "elite" and not consider UNC "elite".

> Is this what you mean by wanting to have social media limits?

I wasn't advocating for social media limits. Rather, I was trying to present one method of limiting and contrast with difficulties of enforcing it.

How, then, can you "ban" misinformation if the person spreading a link doesn't realize it was incorrect?

How can you prevent that same mechanism from censoring satire? How can you prevent that same mechanism from censoring honest opinions rather than facts? How can you prevent that same mechanism from censoring discussions?

I had a wonderful chemistry teacher once. Someone asked him what he thought about climate change, and he gave a fantastic response.

"The atmosphere is a lot like a fish tank full of water. If you put food coloring in that fish tank, it turns slightly red. The more food coloring you put in that tank, the more red it gets. If you take a flashlight and try and shine light through one side of the fishtank and out the other side, the food coloring blocks some of the light. The more food coloring you put in, the more light it blocks... and turns to heat. Try it. You'll make the water warmer.

"That water is like our atmosphere. That food coloring is like CO2. And that flashlight is like our sun."

It's not difficult to convincingly and simply explain the evidence for man-made climate change. Evenly matched debaters would predictably win and lose if they were told to argue for or against climate change. The reason why climate scientists fail to convince TV viewers about climate change is that they are scientists: they spend more time practicing science than practicing persuading laypeople in terms that they will understand. Going up against demagogues, they have zero chance.

The game isn't bad. It works incredibly well most of the time for most of the problems we have encountered. It doesn't work so well when one side is incredibly bad at convincing common people and is not willing to change argument tactics, or when both sides are making completely subjective arguments.
> Disgustingly, society thanked Pirate Bay for their sacrifices by switching to a closed, paid, corporatized service called Spotify.

Or maybe what society actually values is different from what they believed it values or should value. Maybe it's willing to pay the entertainment industry for creating entertainment as long as it's available hassle free and so relevance of Pirate Bay declined once an alternative became available.
The argument at the time was that Jews were too focused on academics and didn't play enough sports. Eventually Harvard did acknowledge that religious discrimination was a mistake. (To be clear I don't support discrimination, just supplying some context.)

Both. Students are required to take humanities classes as well as declare a concentration. Many often choose to minor or major in humanities alongside a science or engineering degree. A handful end up graduating with only a humanities degree. My high school physics professor actually graduated MIT with a writing degree before returning for a PhD in physics.

I myself double majored in Music Composition and Computer Science and have spent my career so far working at their intersection. The strength of their music department was a big part of the reason I applied to and attended MIT.
