The Great Recession was really an "interesting" time for economists: one usually can't run experiments on macroeconomic theories / hypothesis. :)
Testosterone is dropping in all animals worldwide, not just in humans in the Western world. It's even dropping in fish in the deep ocean!
That is equally true (or false) of many other kinds religious teaching. I haven't reconfirmed it just now, but I'm pretty sure the bible and the quran promise similar punishments for something as heinous as murdering an innocent or as harmless as blasphemy.
This is super cool and I’m really looking forward to giving this a go, great work Julia team!
This was hauntingly beautiful. A story of conscience and reconciliation with the paradoxes of war and personal spirituality/religion.

His decision to join the war as an interrogator, believing his presence and oversight would ensure the humane treatment of prisoners is admirable. I often wonder what is the right thing to do: non-participation, or conscientious participation to ensure abuses are minimized.

Why was it even real? It's a school. If you really need to do demonstrations, get a plastic prop gun.
Meh. If it successfully bans the guns they're looking to ban, and not the ones they didn't, does it matter what they called them?
Yep, I said as much in another comment. The downvoted comment I replied to was still right -- the issue preventing MS from migrating comments doesn't appear to be liability due to a lack of filters, which isn't even part of GDPR.
I didn’t know what libvte is. In case it helps anyone:

Terminal emulator widget for GTK+ 3.0

The VTE library provides a terminal emulator widget VteTerminal for applications using the GTK+ toolkit. It also provides the VtePTY object containing functions for starting a new process on a new pseudo-terminal and for manipulating pseudo-terminals.
> I'm curious to know why you would consider the beating of a mentally disabled man terrorism

Because of the things the kidnappers said and forced him to say, and because the kidnappers broadcast the event live to send a political message.

> Personally as far as I'm concerned I don't see much difference between anti-Muslim terrorists and Muslim terrorists and would classify both their views as right-wing. They're cut from the same cloth.

Authoritarian and intolerant? Willing to kill those with different beliefs? That's something that exists on both the left and the right. (Witness the many communist holocausts...) Extremists from the American right-wing and Islamic jihadists share little to nothing in common, save a tactic that's used by desperate or unhinged people of all kinds.

> Although I don't know how anarchists would be considered right or left.

Those certainly are vague labels, inconsistently applied.

For example, there's good reason to call the NZ a left-wing white supremacist, according to his statements. He claimed to be an eco-fascist, a fan of communist China, and an opponent of Trump. But the possibility of a left-wing white supremacist is out of bounds for the media these days.

> You left out my qualification "same way ISIS and alt-right terrorists are"

Perhaps not by exactly the same mechanisms, but constantly equating Trump with Hitler is bound to have an effect on less stable individuals. Someone who hears that message is likely to think they'd be a hero for stopping "Hitler". So those groups probably did contribute, as much as they want to disassociate themselves now.

But I doubt we'll settle the world's issues here, and as interesting as this is, I have to go now.
Because I didn't react it lasted maybe 30 seconds, much quicker than dragging him out of the store screaming. Next time you see a meltdown, maybe understand that parent is not having a good time either.

But stopping that behavior quickly is why I have a very well behaved child in the grocery store now.
What always annoyed me is why they devised these to diverge your eyes and not cross them.

Crossing your eyes is much more natural, and you can easily do it by looking at something close to your face.

Diverging is much harder, at least for me and most other people I’ve talked to.

So I can see these by crossing my eyes but everything is inverted. It comes out as a front layer with stuff cut out of it and behind.

If NZ shared a continent with Eastern Europe, they'd probably have more trouble. I suspect it's substantially harder to bring guns into a country surrounded by ocean (especially one with just a handful of air/sea ports) than it is to just walk them across minimal land borders.

People still manage to murder, but that doesn't mean we make it legal.
Psychiatry indeed has a pretty bleak history, and it's fair to criticize that history. It is true that the DSM as it categorizes mental disorders is not biologically valid in general, however, most psychiatrists today recognize it just as a communication tool. Two psychiatrists with patients exhibiting similar symptoms can be concisely described using DSM vocabulary.

It is also necessary for billing purposes. Insurances want to put labels on things so they can price and track things. This is true of all medicine, however. When do you call high blood pressure too high? Greater than 140 mmHg? 130? Someone has to pick an arbitrary threshold for practical reasons.

"The pathological basis of almost all mental disorders remains as unknown today as it was in 1886" (article quote) I don't think this is true. We don't know enough to make targeted treatments quite yet, but we do know a lot more about the brain now and have much more reliable theoretical conceptions of mental illness.

There is a ton of research going on in understanding mental illnesses at computational and circuit levels, and we're already starting to see the fruits of that research. Researchers are developing targeted treatments using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and similar modalities to directly perturb circuits that are believed to be deranged.

I think psychiatry will change significantly over the next decade or so as we learn what is wrong with a specific individual's brain and intervene directly at the circuit level. I don't see how drugs will play a major role in this as it is very difficult to develop a drug that could target specific circuits.

This time really is different.

Yes, after this, we're done, there are no more things to do! You should start using Julia now :)

Just kidding, there are many cool things that are in the works, including Go-style multithreading and effortless automatic differentiation of arbitrary code, allowing you to "machine learn" any algorithm without a complex framework.

But that's all stuff that's not even available in most languages—now is a great time to start using Julia:

1. The latest stable release is 1.1—code you write now will keep working on all 1.x releases

2. There's excellent editor and IDE support for Julia in pretty much every imaginable configuration

3. There's a solid debugger with interfaces from the terminal and IDEs (and I'm sure soon there will be many more)
I believe terrorizing the population into compliance is the point. I don't think you have to be a conspiracy theorist to believe that.

I worry lawmakers are more interested in scoring political points than fully-understanding a problem and crafting legislation that best serves the public interest.

I don’t think regulation is bad, per se, but my preference is for changes like these to come from the market instead of the statehouse.
In-store analytics are a pretty big thing. They are operated by companies that run the sensors and so they can track you as you go from store-to-store.

They don't block you from entering though, although with some stores it's impossible to get in without seeing a giant billboard.
I haven't kept up on those services. I know they've come and gone over the years but I was being charitable. I used to semi-regularly take the train from White River Junction to Philadelphia but I pretty much only use the Acela/Northeast Regional these days and that's really the "good-ish" part of the service I'm aware of. (Where good-ish is defined as preferable to driving, the bus, and plane--so long as not doing the whole length.)
You misunderstand my point. I never said we do art only for money. I specifically objected to the idea that artists have only been able to do art for the money for the past few hundred years.

Sumeria had coinage thousands of years before common era. So money has definitely been a thing for more than a few hundred years.
Google used to allow you to pay pennies to websites to hide display ads their site, or replace them entirely with cat pictures. It wasn't complete coverage since Google doesn't own all ad networks, but it was something like 55% of the ads on sites.

Then they changed the whole program to only have 100% coverage on very specific sites, which kind of makes it useless unless you frequent those specific domains: https://support.google.com/contributor/answer/7324995
It really isn't up to the KiCad folks to package it up though -- that should come from the Alpine side of the community.

> At last count, more than 12 percent of Americans ages 12 and older were taking antidepressants. The chemical-imbalance theory, like the revamped DSM, may fail as science, but as rhetoric it has turned out to be a wild success.

This has always been my issue with psychology. It is inherently unscientific. Given the preponderance of reported mental conditions, it's also insufficient.

My experience is that the patient is asked a series of incredibly open ended questions. I was struck with the sheer variety of ways that I could respond. And depending on my response, I would receive a diagnosis.

The following were my diagnoses from 3 different psychiatrists: Attention Deficit, Seasonal Affective Disorder, Bipolar disorder.

There was absolutely no consensus, and it's no wonder. Years later a doctor made the connection between chronic pain (Crohn's disease) and my lack of energy.

I had been consuming anti-psychotics purely because of how I answered "How are you feeling today?" and other similar open ended questions in the wrong way.

At that point I worked to improve my chronic pain condition, which was of course the actual issue.

Neuroscience is the way forward to understanding mental disorders. In the meantime, great care should be taken around psychology. The effect of an uninformed approach can be devastating.
Anyone wanna bet how long until a vulnerability is found?
I've never done it myself, basing it on the cost of the machines that professionals do, and the cost of employing people to do it (both do it and make the judgement calls), you're probably looking at $200k for feature film quality.

If you're aiming for network TV quality you can probably do an episode for $5k though.

Of course that's from scratch. The trouble is that using the original video as your source will have lost a lot of data, and that means making a lot of judgement calls about what the scene is meant to be doing, so you're not much nearer.

Intolerance of intolerance seems to go hand-in-glove with tolerance.

Bullies need a victim, but they also need most other people to look the other way.

These apps are mostly used on teenagers, with pressure from their parents and mentors. There's a fine line between bad parenting and bullying your kids, and there are certainly arguments about where that line is.

All I know is my kid has two friends who fantasize about coming to live at our house (or getting emancipated) because their parents are homophobes. Some people know what kind of adult they're going to be, others are surprised by it, but if you're into puberty and think you probably aren't cisgendered, then I'm confident that you aren't destined to be a poster child for heteronormativity.

At any rate, part of becoming an independent adult is learning to rely on yourself, on your instincts, on your own sense of right and wrong. If your parents spend your entire teen years telling you that you can't trust yourself, that's pretty fucked up.

Come on, think bigger. If they're doing this for art styles you can bet your bottom dollar they'll be doing something using Google images. No longer having to actually create 3D meshes - just a Google image search, click a button and have the geometries automatically created for you. Then just add an automatic style.
> LGBT+ people who seek conversion therapy can still be hurt by it.

How exactly? And what about other people who seek "conversion therapy"?

An app is not a military, where you can literally sign away basic rights to not be hurt and abused.
The hotels I've seen them in (in the US) have been Hampton, Hyatt, and Mariott. I might've seen one in a Sheraton, but don't quote me on that (and if so, only once). Definitely seems to be per-hotel rather than brand-wide, though.
Well, I guess you could say that's a form of patronage, but "arts patronage" as a concept is more of a general sponsorship of an artist in the hope that they will produce significant works (and maybe have some influence over their production), rather than a transactional relationship where you are paying for a specific piece.
That needs some citation. Or why then is justice so fixated at the right guy suffers at the end?
The global lead-acid battery market is still much larger than the global li-ion market, so your statement that Tesla is the world's largest battery maker has degraded into Tesla is the world's 2nd-largest maker of Li-ion batteries for the EV market, a much weaker statement.

In this telling he tried to effect change from within, but was overwhelmed, both spiritually and physically, by what he found there.
If there is a positive to draw from it it lies in his ability to talk about the experience afterwards through drama and indirectly through this piece. I don't think that level of success often accrues to people trying to effect positive change from within.

Dude... I'm sorry but you are so wrong. Like I said originally, I literally just left this industry after working in it for years.

US spends more money on education than pretty much any other nation, both per student and as a total dollar amount. The reason the numbers are so low world wide is because chromebooks in education are a relatively new concept. Everyone has been going after the big fish, which is the US.

Additionally, they way you need to handle student data in the US is fairly consistent across state lines, which means you don't need to customize your solution very much to be able to sell to all 60 million students. Once you go overseas, you'd need to sell across multiple country lines to be able to find a pool of students that big (unless you're targeting China, Russia, or India which all have their own issues).

If you don't believe me, here's a blog post from a few years ago where google literally say ChromeOS is here to stay and then they focus heavily on it's benefits to education. https://blog.google/products/chrome/chrome-os-is-here-to-sta...

Even if you want to ignore all of that, I don't think you realize how much of a PR nightmare it would be if Google just stopped supporting ChromeOS right now. Schools have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars buying into this ecosystem. For schools that buy at the district level, it's in the millions. Most schools/districts don't have the budget to just replace all their computers overnight. Shutting down ChromeOS would pretty much fuck all digital learning in a lot of school districts for years to come.

PS. I'm pretty sure iOS's adoption numbers US & worldwide (not in schools, just total consumer adoption) match up pretty closely with Chromebooks, so there goes your idea that only dominating the US market isn't a viable business strategy.
I wonder this every time I see it in a report. It’s not like every file access is recorded for 10 years. Or at all. If you’re lucky you know who accessed a machine since the last time you rotated logs. But let’s say the data was mounted and accessible to all internal machines; literally anyone could have looked at it and done whatever they wanted without anyone knowing.
If you'll accept the step of copying the values into the tool that figures out the complementary colors for you, macOS comes with Digital Color Meter, which will tell you the color of anything on your screen.

Highlight:

"Modern medicine pivots on the promise that portraying human suffering as biological disease will lead to insight and cures. Inescapably, this enterprise has a sociopolitical dimension. To say which of our travails can (and should) come under medicine’s purview is, implicitly if not explicitly, to present a vision of human agency, of the nature of the good life, of who deserves precious social resources like money and compassion. Such questions, of course, aren’t always pressing; the observation that a broken leg is a problem only in a society that requires mobility seems trivial.

But by virtue of its focus on our mental lives, and especially on our subjective experience of the world and ourselves, psychiatry, far more directly than other medical specialties, implicates our conception of who we are and how our lives should be lived. It raises, in short, moral questions. If you convince people that their moods are merely electrochemical noise, you are also telling them what it means to be human, even if you only intend to ease their pain."
Seems like oil companies and climate change denial.

To paraphrase, when a person’s paycheck depends on not understanding something it’s hard to make them understand it.

The voting on disorders that go into the DSM would be laughable if it wasn’t sad and creepy from a norm-defining control perspective.
Consider this approach:
Let H be a hashing function and p be the users password. In the database you store a nounce n, and H(H(p⊕n)). When authenticating the server sends n, and client responds with x=H(p⊕n). Now server can compute H(x) and compare with the stored value to authenticate the client. Finally, after it has been authenticated, the client generates a new nounce n', and sends H(H(p⊕n')) and n' to the server, which is stored in the database for the next log in.

Replace the outer H with a proper key derivation function for extra credits.

This avoids sending any secret value over to the server, so no server side logging will cause a problem.
Leaded gasoline was for many years a premium product, patented and produced initially by a single manufacturer. Production really takes off after WWII (3x the amount before the war). Assuming a child takes 20 years to grow up then 1945 + 20 = 1965. That's exactly when we start seeing a sizable jump in crime. Furthermore, lead use increases until a peak around 1970 with violent crime peaking around 1990, 20 years later. In other words, the pattern of violent crime follows the pattern of lead usage +20 years, including a small dip in lead use in the early 1960s which corresponds to a small dip in violent crime in the early 1980s. This isn't just about the start - their entire histories are remarkably correlated.
Is wikipedia wrong? I'm not sure what argument you're trying to make.
It's a common phenomena that happens in any online forum once they reach a certain size, or the topic becomes sufficiently controversial.

As far as I can tell, it's basically "whataboutism", but even more indirect or abstract.

"Amazon might have an ads service, but what about this particular criticism of their online marketplace (of which I only see on this news aggregator)?"

"Oculus came out with this new hardware, but what about their ownership by Facebook?"

"HotelsTonight is being bought by Airbnb, but what about Airbnb's behavior with local governments and their housing policy?"
