That's what I've never understood. I'm in the camera department, so I'm just concerned with with acquiring the picture. I've chatted with some of the ad peeps on set, but they are mainly concerned with getting the spot produced. I've never properly chatted with the analytics folks. I'm assuming in the old days, it was Nielsen ratings. Today, I'd assume your digital cable box is providing all of the analytics ever needed. Still don't know how comparing eyeballs viewing an ad translates to people spending dollars in a store.

I have had direct conversations with small market clients. The client hired a new agency, and that agency hired us to shoot the spots. The agency came up with a decent small market campaign. The next time it came time to shoot the next series of spots, the client mentioned the spike in business from the ads after they started airing. Yes, the agency also had radio and online campaign, but it was the TV ads that resulted in the spike in calls. ROI must be pretty good. In a single day shoot, we can shoot 6 spots for this client. They then air 1 spot per month.

I'd imagine the smaller market clients can see a significant ROI vs mega-clients shooting brand awareness campaigns. If you've ever seen Mad Men and how they put agencies on annual retainers, then you'll get what I mean. The Madison Avenue crowd probably have tons of research, but that's so far out of my circles of interest.
Snowden got his leaks out... there's not much else to do with him.

Historically speaking folks who leak data aren't all that noteworthy outside that event.

Assange is something else, he has a specific agenda, he has proven to be deceptive and leaks what suits him.
Please can we change the title. The article itself says the title is wrong:

> "nothing happened" to the HealthCare.gov website used by the general public. "This concerns the agent and broker portal, which is not accessible to the general public," he said.

Nothing to do with HealthCare.gov, a portal that allows "insurance agents and brokers to directly enroll customers" in Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services was compromised.

Healthcare.gov also allows enrollment in Medicare and Medicaid Services, but both healthcare.gov and the broker portal are simply enrollment agents. Breaching one doesn't infer the other is breached.

Alternative title:

> Hackers Breach Medicare/Medicaid Services Portal, Get Data on 75,000
On the one hand, harvard and the left repeatedly say we should live in a colorblind society. Race is not important and it isn't even real. It is a social construct of no importance to who the person is. They tell us only raicsts are obsessed with race and only racists see color.

On the other hand, harvard and the left are obsessed with race. So is harvard and the left racist? Aren't they supposed to be colorblind and not focused on a person's immutable characteristic? By giving certain racial group an unfair advantage, aren't they condescendingnly assuming these racials groups are inferior. Doesn't that make them patronizing racists?

If we are all humans and equal, why does race matter? Who cares if the humans attending harvard are all white or all asian or all black? We are humans right?

From where I stand, harvard's admissions policy seems like blatant condescending and patronizing racism.

Sorry, I guess I read too much in to your comment and took offense to it. I’ve grown up surrounded by people that would hate to spend $100 to help the homeless for fear that $5 will go to waste, all while they enjoy security and others sleep on the ground.

I’ve got a lot of frustration around this issue, but I apologize if I was harsh to you in my reply.
Yeah, if only there were some way to tackle that ratio by adding more residents. More housing means more places to house the homeless, and a broader tax base to support them by, thus making this an easier problem to solve.

The ACLU has been corrupted by money. They have become a mirror of Democratic party talking points.

They used to defend Nazis to make a point of dedication to free speech. Now they openly abandon due process if the accused is a white guy (Kavanaugh) and have recently decided to never protect a Nazi, saying some speech shouldn't be protected. Very sad to see.

> There are no Person for which Person.Race is null.

Are there not? There are surely Person for which multiple rows with distinct Race exist. It's... complicated.

And yes: if you buy that "race" matters, for good or ill, it's not possible to have a completely just policy that is race-blind, it just isn't. If Harvard wants a campus whose diversity of background (and that obviously includes much more than just race) matches the world around it, which seems like a laudable goal to me, then there are going to have to be race-based decisions made.

Are they the right ones? Not to everyone, no. The best ones? Surely not. But let's not get too caught up in our schadenfreude here.

Be honest: the Preferred Admissions Policy of all the folks who are shouting the loudest here would result in a campus filled with middle+ class whites (with a detectable minority of east asians). We've tried that model. It sucked.
So this is another step for Apple to try to get everyone paying them their software development tax, since "notarization" requires you paying the $100 annual fee.

While you currently can still run digitally signed software that is not notarized, this document admits that in the future signed software will require Apple's approval, so Apple will make everyone's software LESS secure (by forcing developers to not sign the code if they aren't paying Apple) so that it will continue running.

Probably because Snowden had his passport revoked while in Moscow and can't really travel anywhere besides Russia until he gains citizenship somewhere, which obviously points out that he's no longer walking into NSA facilities between 9 and 5 and can't smuggle any more documents out.

Everything is built off of norms and expectations. An example people have a little bettwr tendency to understand is that if a bunch of soldiers get shot in a war it's less of a big deal than if a bunch of people get shot in the suburbs because the soldiers getting shot is more normal and expected. Killing a journalist, especially a journalist working for a major US newspaper is hugely against international norms.
Serious suggestion: Haskell is a Lisp so use it. (I use Common Lisp, Scheme, and Haskell - I consider Haskell to be Lisp-like enough and has the same repl based programming from the bottom coding work flow). I really prefer Lisp to Haskell, but Haskell is also awesome. If you want a strongly typed Lisp then look no further.
Not sure that holds up under all cases. Grades, as an example, are both measures and targets.

Ecuador denied a Human Rights Watch visitor, and Assange's lawyers.

To be fair the article could be also titled AssangeS Lawyers to Stand Up to Defend his Human Rights which would give a different impression than the current headline.

I'm not defending everything Assange has done, but I also don't agree with your characterization.
Yes, you are right. There are 2 sources from NDRC on this. So Reuters is correct in their reporting. I've found the them on NDRC website:

http://www.ndrc.gov.cn/gzdt/201803/t20180316_879653.html

I've updated the links in my post as well.

It would have saved me and them the trouble if Reuters actually provided the sources.
> Simply because someone has some opposition doesn't make what they say true.

That's an absolutely wonderful straw man you built. I didn't say it is true because there is opposition. I said it is true and therefore the opposition is great.

The veracity of the guy's leaks have been verified by pretty everyone. Now whether his truthful leaks have ulterior political motives is another question.

But you and the downvote brigade know all this already.

That’s not answering my question though. Collison claims money won’t solve the problem but uses a comparison that shows nothing of the sort.

> Their energy consumption is about half that of a condensation drier.

Again, this is not necessarily a fair comparison, if what's being pumped actually costs something that can't be measured at the dryer's plug.

$500 would likely be worth it, even at $.12/kWh, but the market may not think so if they're not available for that price in places with cheap electricity (and/or cheap enough natural gas, which can be much cheaper, ranging between $.04/kWh and $.06/kWh, equivalent, on my last bill).

> the heat pump is used to dehumidify the processing air.

This seems a bit strange to me, but it makes sense, especially if there's recirculation going on.

> The air is still heated using electricity. It just doesn't waste as much heat.

This is pretty clear from the efficiency only being 2:1, which is much worse than what I'd expect from a heat pump being used for heating.
That kills diversity because you only admit people who game the system. It also harms Harvard, because the value of their education comes from experiencing a very diverse crowd.

There's nothing magical about HRW, which is simply an NGO like any other. It seems plain that Ecuador is going to expect discretion about who they allow in their own embassy, and plain that they don't want Assange squatting in it anymore. What's not to understand about the situation?

Eventually, Ecuador is going to boot him out of the embassy. It's kind of remarkable that they showed 6 years worth of forbearance. Does anyone expect him to make it to 7 years in there?

Keep an eye out on this longer term. Ive been truly amazed by how quick people were in the past only to realise later they were skilled at communication and not the subject they were working on. "Knowing the right answer to give" vs "knowing the right answer". And if the person is very smart it takes a while for this to become apparent.
I think it could work. You would get alignment of subgroups and better representation. If say Berkeley wants to be a green party they would be. So the averaging out would take place in Congress vs at the ballot box. This would get more ideas into Congress and blur party lines.

Oh god yes. I have a 5 inch phone going on 2 years now and it's about as big as I can tolerate. I dread the day it dies and I have to get another, because I literally don't see (mid to high end) phones below this size anymore (gsmarena shows... 6 fitting this bill released in the past year).

Having a 5.5" myself, I can tell you that while a smaller phone would be more comfortable in my hand, having a larger screen provides more utility by allowing more content to be seen and used at once. I guess what I want is a super-portable substitute to my computer for when I'm on the go. Having big hands also makes it easier to get accustomed.

EDIT: I also get the feeling that bigger phone means more features and longer battery times because of the extra space for electronics and the battery. Who knows, maybe if I held a 4" that's fast with a lot of memory and long battery life, I could get accustomed to seeing less content.

There's also the fact that website layout is determined by the website developers. I wonder how good the layouts are generally on the internet for 4" screens. It might be that many websites have fixed width side margins that cause a bigger whitespace-to-text ratio on smaller screens.
Does any country's constitution do that?
Yes, but let's say in the U.S. the numbers are 100% survival for the richest 50% and 0% survival for the other 50%. Clearly the average survival rate is 50%. Now let's say the Netherlands has a flat survival rate of 50%. If I don't consider wealth, it doesn't matter which country I get care in. If I'm at 49.999% of wealth in the U.S., the difference is 0% survival vs 50%.

We know healthcare quality and healthcare cost are correlated, e.g. http://www.pnhp.org/news/2016/july/wealthy-get-more-health-c... , I think we can intuit that ability to bear cost and wealth are correlated. Outliers aside, I don't think you're going to argue to me that a homeless man in Detroit has a chance of getting the same quality of care as Jeff Bezos.

If your gross income is $80,000, overall federal income tax is 17%. There's also the 12.4% social security tax and the 2.4% Medicare tax, so the overall rate is 32%. State income tax varies (in CA it's 6% on the $80000, in TX it's 0%).

The equivalent UK income is 61200 GBP. Income tax is is 21%, and National Insurance is 8% for 29%. This doesn't include the 20% VAT on most goods and services, but that also doesn't apply to all your income (doesn't apply to savings, housing, utilities).

The problem is that the young are less impacted so they don't care to vote. It's only when you have kids, have a health crisis etc.. that you start to take an interest. First understanding why something is the way it is and then advocating for change. Also, most people don't have major health issues (excluding an accident) until they are older (or have kids) .. And the largest consumer of health care are those aged 65+... So basically it's a hidden cost that people don't appreciate.

As an aside, the only good thing about student loans being so egregious is that it will bring out the youth vote.
I responded to another commenter, Simpson's Paradox -- 67% average doesn't mean that I can expect 67%. Healthcare efficacy is correlated with wealth (i.e. cost of healthcare and ability to bear that cost). To get 67%, let's say the top 67% of Americans have a survival rate of 100% and the bottom 33% have 0% survival rate. The average is 67%, but I really hope I'm not in the bottom 33% and get cancer.

I don't know what you think a "large fraction of the population" equates to, but in this theoretical, 33% of the population being guaranteed to die isn't exactly ideal.
