Thanks for getting the history on that story right. I see the urban legend version all the time, where students say it's about censorship and shout down Bradbury when he explains the "real" meaning about mass entertainment. As far as I can tell it never actually happened, and the whole idea that people are ignoring the author falls apart when you find out that Bradbury has changed his own interpretation.

I don't know that the two readings are incompatible, either. They fit together quite nicely in a reading about voluntary censorship, where popular disinterest makes it easy to peel away information and silence voices on the margins. But it's interesting to see how the focus between the parts shifted, even in Bradbury's mind.
It was just an example. You are correct that the first generic entry gets just 6 months of exclusivity.

Hm. I was in Chrome, and thought maybe it was one of my extensions (HTTPS Everywhere, Adblock), but no.

Tried in FF as well and got CORS errors.
I'm pretty skeptical of this study.

The breakdowns by age and gender make me suspicious of p-hacking. It seems this journal does not require pre-registration of studies so it's hard to know if the study was pre-registered. It very likely was not.

Note that the only statistically significant finding was for boys, ages 10-17. No other category had a significant increase. That sounds like a negative result across most dimensions of analysis to me.

>There was a 28.9% increase in suicide among Americans ages 10-17

>The study found that boys were far more likely than girls to kill themselves after the show debuted. Suicide rates for females did increase, but it was not statistically significant

This is an enormous effect size. What exactly is the supposed method of action here? So only boys, who watch netflix, only ages 10-17, who decided to watch a show about a girl committing suicide (teen boys do not usually watch female-led dark serial dramas), account for the majority of the 30% increase in suicide across their entire age group?

>The spokesperson noted that the study conflicts with research published last week out of the University of Pennsylvania. That study found that young adults, ages 18-29, who watched the entire second season of the show "reported declines in suicide ideation

Now we have two seemingly "significant" studies with opposite conclusions. It beggars belief (if either of them are even representative of a real life causative factor at all).

Girls, older teens, and adults are completely immune from this effect. What possible method of action would affect such a specific demographic so disproportionately, with absolutely no spillover to any other demographic? How can it be that teenage girls, who watch more dramas and presumably empathize with a female lead more, show absolutely no effect? Or could it be that the researchers had an expected result, broke down the data until they found a dimension that had a large enough increase by chance, and submitted it to a journal full of peer reviewers who would find the result plausible and prestigious to their field?
It's true that there are bad choices when it comes to text and interpretation. That doesn't implicate testing, but test construction, which is often poor.

I still distinctly remember a surreal class discussion in high school (more than a decade ago) where classmate after classmate of mine in an AP English class responded to a verbal question about a phrase expressing regret over not doing something as though it'd actually been done and the regret was about having done it. It was like "WTF, most of my classmates have problems with basic reading comprehension?" The question was basic, and the teacher basically went row by row to try and get an answer, and it was clear that a huge proportion of the class so misunderstood the text that they didn't even know how to respond to the question.
I regularly receive calls from an agent at a reputable (or at least I used to think) brokerage here in Silicon Valley.

They use the typical trick of calling you twice simultaneously, so the second call can go straight to your VM box. The message was boiler plate: "we're looking for a home in your neighborhood for a client, but inventory is very thin as you know so we're wondering if you know anyone who might be open to selling."

The thing is, there were 3 houses for sale on my street at the time, so it was immediately clear this wasn't based on an actual client. I had recently spoken with an agent from this brokerage firm and I sent her a follow-up email to let her know that her colleague's (illegal) shenanigans were undercutting her company's reputation.
How to Spot and Build in Nonobvious Markets
It would be very helpful to have some way to express graph changes due to events in the language, even if it doesn't happen in real time. Otherwise we're going to have to get really hacky with generating SOUL on the fly and recompiling it, rather than just explicitly stating that graph changes happen at the discretion of the runtime.

RE the licensing, I'm asking more about the language itself, the IR, and whether it is going to be possible to develop independent implementations.

Lastly because I always forget to ask about the IR - why not WASM?
her husband had money

rom 1968 to 1971, she had co-produced Input, a Sunday-morning talk show airing on the local Philadelphia CBS affiliate, with John S. Stokes Jr., who would later become her husband. Input brought together academics, community and religious leaders, activists, scientists, and artists to openly discuss social justice issues and other topics of the day.
I didn't say it was about people being offended. My point is that we shouldn't expect art to be bland and harmless. Some art will cause harm (just like tons of things in our society do: alcohol, gambling...). We collectively need to toughen up, accept that not everything is safe and enjoy the multitude of choices we have in how we live our lives.

How to Publish a Scientific Comment in 1 2 3 Easy Steps

http://frog.gatech.edu/Pubs/How-to-Publish-a-Scientific-Comm...

I agree that a formal comment is best although not necessarily easy. A comment on PubPeer is easier but it will probably only be seen by those with the PubPeer extension.

I do machine learning in computational biology and cancer. The issues described in the parent comment are known among experts. It’s too bad so many others don’t know or care.
If we want federated services, like matrix, to take off then we need to find a way to get users to pay for it.

Everybody is still free to set up a server at home or on a VPS. But there has to be a place you can point ordinary people to.
It seems like no one has answered your question so I'll give it my best shot.

We want to find the value of 2^(2^t) mod n where n = pq. It's a well known number-theoretic fact that 2^phi(n) mod n = 1, where phi is the Euler totient function (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler%27s_totient_function).

This theorem is called Euler's theorem (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler%27s_theorem). For n = pq, phi(n) = (p-1)(q-1)

So if 2^phi(n) = 1, then 2^(2 * phi(n)) = 1 and 2^(3 * phi(n)) = 1 and so on, so we really only need to know the value of 2^t mod phi(n). We can compute this value in O(log(t)) operations via repeated squaring, and once we know this value (let's call it k), then we just need to compute 2^k mod n to finish, which again, can be done quickly using repeated squaring.

Here's a quick demo in python:

The key here (as in the RSA cryptosystem) is that we have no way of computing phi(n) without knowing the factorization of n.
DHS Asserting Unconstitutional Authority to Search Travelers’ Phones and Laptops
Maybe because their hardware architecture is distributed.
That's a bit of a silly argument. A games console is specifically sold as a device upon which you can play games, and nothing else. If you want to be able to perform other computing tasks and/or write your own programs you buy a general purpose computer not a games console. Your argument is a bit like saying "why can't I fry burgers with my fridge?"
I went to an SEC school and did the whole fraternity thing during college, which involved drinking to excess way to much fueled by the fact that living in a fraternity house with 45 other guys who also wanted to drink that much as well as the rampant drug use.

It definitly had a negative impact on my health, grades, and focus on school work and im glad that post college ive cut back to 1 night of moderate drinking with friends on the weekend however the habits picked up in college still plague a good amount of my friends from college and Im worried about their longevity.

Its a particuarly hard issue to solve even moreso in a alcohol fueled envirionment like a frat where the freshmen joining look up to the sophmores,juniors and seniors who all have this same binge drinking mentality and the cycle continues.

Maybe the normalisation of alcohol at a younger age would help reduce it as it wouldnt seem like such a forbidden fruit.
The line is at consent. You can consent to watch something, child pornography most definitely does not have the consent of the people in it and is rightfully illegal.
It's not even remote vs non-remote. My employer had many medium sized offices of 100-200 people, and we merged with a company that had one single 5000+ person campus. That was a major culture clash for sure in terms of documentation and processes
Oh stop with the gloom, this is like using tabloids as an example of how the printing press ruined us all. Ignore the tabloids, or in the case of the internet, low effort ad content. You can read good journalism from around the world if you put in the minuscule effort it takes to vet a source. The academic internet never went away, in fact it gets exponentially more powerful every year, and nearly all of human knowledge is at your fingertips for free* from Wikipedia or tools like pub med (everything funded by the NIH becomes open access after a year).

The internet has only ever been one thing: a time sink. Why waste your free time making someone else money? Cut out the commercialized internet from your life. Sink your time by learning something, keep your neck well above the irrelevant noise of social media, keep your eyes fixed on well written information from good journalists and experts in their fields, and suddenly the internet is beautiful and everything that everyone hoped for.
They're also working with a ton of remote and disparate organizations (ISPs), so locality is probably not as important.

I agree that they're bad at teaching grammar.

That said, I believe it's also the user's fault if they're only using one tool to learn a language. That's quite a high bar that just simply hasn't been achieved yet, and at the moment I would consider it an unreasonable expectation.
FBI Warns of Russian Interference in 2020 Race and Boosts Counterintelligence
The thing is, the big established pharma companies don't necessarily mind the difficulty in bringing a drug or device to market since it makes competition more difficult. And it's a politically difficult move to support loosening regulations and restrictions here, because some people will inevitably die due to the lower standards, and everyone will remember those dozens/hundreds of people rather than the hundreds of thousands who are able to get new treatments faster
True that.

I'm not an OOP person, but to me, dataclasses seem like a solution in search of a problem. Or, even more nefariously, it seems akin to the Clojure model, if the core team didn't develop it, it won't be officially blessed.

I'm more than willing to hear the other side, but I've read some and watched a few talks on dataclasses, and while their implementation is neat, I cannot figure out how I'd used them on a regular basis.
Amazing, hadn't heard of it and will definitely pick it up. Thanks!

I don't understand this watch. It has a Ronda cal.6004.D movement which is a Swiss Quarts movement. Not that the Ronda movement is a bad movement, there are just so much better options out there for the same price. Why not go with an ETA? And if you're going to advertise that your watch has a "Swiss Movement", why go for a Quartz movement over an Automatic or Hand-Wind.

On top of all that, it's $500. Now $500 for a watch isn't that much in the watch world considering how many watches are $1-10K+, but compare this watch to a Seiko SARB. The SARB has 100m water resistance, a 50hr automatic movement, and comes in at >$100 cheaper.

Unless you're a Timex fanboy or collector, I really can't recommend this watch over other similar options.
I'm not upset they rebranded them, but this comment is what I was looking for. I figured they didn't scratch built all of it, and wanted to know what services they were really selling.

Is there a good way for this to run on mobile?
Yup! Privacy apps are borderline useless to me if the people I want to engage with don't use them. And probably 95% of the people in my social circle are not hackers/engineers who are comfortable managing their own servers.
We come from an audio background, but all the way through developing the project, we've been saying "...I bet this is useful for some other domain that we know nothing about.." so have been careful to make it about signal processing in general, not for only audio.

Yes, could be that it works really well for machine control, robotics, etc. Hopefully as it gets more established, people from those worlds will get involved and see what happens.

Very weird! Goes to a 2004 story entitled "The Not So Random Coin Toss".
To go along with the text, a quote from the article: "Only guess what? The test prep materials neglected to insert the stanza break. I texted him an image of how the poem appeared in the original publication."

Asking author's-intent questions without checking the author's intent isn't great, but asking students to explain a stanza break that doesn't exist is a particularly exciting sort of unproductive.
k, makes sense! There's so many people who think homeopathy and naturopathy is one and the same that I thought its what was happening here. Fascinating (and horrifying!) situation you describe, though!

That's the version that doesn't have the stanza break. :-)
I agree completely here with the keeping pace with each other. In college we drank like fish and were all usually on the same level. Now we’re old and have responsibilities and don’t drink anymore. Sure someone went overboard once in awhile, but we all turned out ok.

Damn dude, college was F.U.N.
The things you're discussing are very important and certainly one of the reasons The Bell Jar first hit me like a ton of bricks when I was young but this show's problem is it frames suicide as a way to 'get back at' the people who hurt you. It's a harmful revenge fantasy.

Sure, but it must also be recognized that this is true only if you value your data.

In our bubbles we all certainly do. But in the context of a resident in a developing country who can’t afford to pay, the trade off of allowing access to your data rather than no access at all seems more ethical.

Maybe sometimes, but the US government has an unconstitutional tool up its belt it has been using freely since 2001:

TLDR: If the FBI tells them not to, they can't tell you they've given your information away.

In the interest of full disclosure, I believe they should warn people about this.

I like the message, I like the intent, I like what Librem does. I like that they're going to have data after this seeing just how many people are willing to pay money for privacy. I am.

The article has a better explanation later on:

"She eschewed Tivo, and although she was an early and evangelical investor in Apple Inc., she never sent an email in her life. She even managed to convince the rest of the already-wealthy Stokes clan to buy Apple stock, which paid off in spades. She funneled these funds into her recording project and the massive storage space she required as the sole force behind it."

It comes down to savvy investments on her part and family money, not just "she spent her husband's money".
I think you'll have a hard time finding people who think it's unethical to require a monthly fee to use the product.

If a product can only exist by violating people's privacy (for the purpose of user tracking ads and whatnot), then perhaps said product shouldn't exist at all. That being said, I highly doubt that you can think of a product that couldn't operate with ethical ads/paid features/non-profit social service funding.

We weren't intentional about replacing TV with something specific, so there are several things that cumulatively fill the void. We play, read, volunteer at the Salvation Army, I'm taking a couple classes at a local university, etc.

I don't bring it up to brag or say "hey be like me." Rather, as you pointed out, it seems like TV is an addiction for most folks. As the article highlights, it often has a negative impact on mood, thoughts etc. One day we just realized we were, in a sense, slaves to the box and dumped it. Never looked back.

Repeat after me: elected officials are our representatives. If you don’t like them either by how they vote or the bribes I mean donations they receive then make your voice known by getting involved, voting, or donating to causes and people you do support.

A flat tax is an idea. It has come up from time to time and failed. There are lobbyists on both sides and both are evil in their own ways.

In the end the elected officials pass laws. Companies pay tax under those laws. The laws have loopholes and those same companies use them.
