Trashing Teens (2007)
I believe GP means the reasons the vial was punctured were undocumented, not that the punctures were undocumented (as you said, it wouldn't make sense if that were the case).
At first glance, this appears to be a story about the plight of the American farmer. It really isn't. The farmer in this story didn't start farming until 2014, taking over the operation from his father in 2016. When the farmer took his life, he had $300k in debt, but at 35, financial restoration wasn't out of reach.

There was a lot of debt and financial problems, but digging deeper, this is really a story about depression and mental health. A common theme throughout is advice from family and friends to pray more and put more faith in God. In the end, it wasn't enough. In my experiences in church, there's an utter disdain for the ideas of mental health being a real, and treatable, concern.

Even beyond the suicide, there's the continued theme. His widow makes less than $20k in a part-time job and no money doing Mary Kay or the like (they don't name the MLM), yet it's hinted that she doesn't know how she and the three kids will make it, but they are holding strong to their faith.

I never want to knock anyone's spiritual beliefs, as I feel they can provide a source of strength in times of darkness. But this article talks about some very practical issues, and it feels like these traditional Midwest values are very much a stumbling block for solving those issues.
I'm not an expert but I'll say a few things. First glucose is a molecule, so I don't think there can be a 'refined' version.

Also if glucose was immediately burned it wouldn't have a chance to be turned into fat, though I don't know if that is actually true.

If you watch 'sugar the bitter truth' you can see a lot of scientific studies condensed into a good presentation.
The Softbank Vision fund is a very interesting and strange beast.

Created by a risk junkie, funded mostly by governments hoping to mix profit with prestige, and ultimately likely to implode as part of the next tech bust.
That's kinda the point. The person whose name is on the building is a dictator. I am advocating that we live in a more democratic society.
Did you try any mods? You can make minecraft into all variations of games.

I currently have a persistent server I run for my kids. My son loves to explore and fight things, my daughter likes to build things, and I like to make machines with redstone. It's fun that we have something that we can play together that appeals to all of us.
Agile is great – Scrum is OK-ish
I feel like that was murder and the exploration of bodies was secondary to that. And other times he was just torturing them because he wanted to torture them. I meant something more like a person pretending to be a neurosurgeon so they could attempt to perform surgeries, like removing a tumor. Murderers desecrating bodies isn't what I would call neurosurgery.
Cops actually buy most of their equipment on the open market, replacing and upgrading it as needed. Think about it: we don't have special, government-only clothing, boot or weapons factories in the US anymore. If we did, we'd have the same planned economy shortages and overruns that any other such system does.

Cops are also allowed to keep guns after they retire. It's important to remember that guns are issued to police for self-defence, since the work they undertake puts them in harm's way. That doesn't change after they retire.
In contrast, there are plenty of CS professors who are really quite exceptional hackers. The falsehood should be "All CS professors are really good programmers".
if they sent an invite 10 minutes before it was wrapping up it's because nobody showed up lol
I quote that Congalturation screen when my wife completes a game (great or otherwise.) In return, she got me a book of bad translations/localizations for our anniversary.
Email is still widely used, but POP is not. Text editors are still widely used but ed is not.
Going from passive to active interaction feels like the logical evolution of the technology. If Alexa can simply sense if someone is in a room and asks if they would like something to eat, that will dramatically change the food delivery industry. The question is: will people find it invasive or upsetting? My intuition says yes, but the existing popularity of the devices says no.
Ehh, its more than just hype. They have a device that exceeds the Hololens. Its not vaporware.
Diverse skills can be super important. Even if you're talking about computer graphics in a really curmudgeonly field.

I'm in GIS. (geospatial information systems) Turns out knowing how to define a camera using a matrix and intersecting a ray with a mesh of triangles is pretty useful. And it turns out that if you don't know how to do these things and just sit down and start cowboy coding the solution you're gonna come up with is going to need to be rewritten by the person they hire when you leave.

There are a lot of things I run into in my job where I genuinely don't know what the right algorithm is, compared to the number of times I've said "I recognize this thing" and brush up on the literature and implement some variation on it as applicable to my particular usecase. I'm kinda curious as to how much of the stuff I've written has someone come across it later and been like, "wtf is this shit, you just use <so and so's (probably Djikstra's)> algorithm".
This reminds me of an interview I read with the guy who did the Japanese localization of Overwatch (a game that I imagine this article would mention if it was updated).

The interviewer asks what the localizer thought about all the weird Japanese dialog and copy in the English version of the game, and he answers to the effect that: a lot of the text would definitely be out of place in a Japanese title, but on the other hand it kind of fit with the game's off-kilter style. He likened it to the way Hollywood movies often indiscriminately mix Asian cultures together, saying he was fond of the effect, and that "fixing" everything in localization might break the humor. So when Blizzard asked him for input he says his answer was "Frankly the Japanese is pretty messed up but let's go with it".

If any wanker goes on about Theranos but didn't call out Magic Leap years ago delete them from your feed.

And ML still goes on.

We know its technologically impossible yet people still go on like its something.

But the sad thing is, it's hard to say the actual value of the patents, to ML nothing but as a troll maybe a fair bit.
California cops are definitely not on the front lines of the drug wars. Many departments have standing orders to ignore all but the largest quantities of drugs.
Very good video, it contains answers to many of the questions that people are speculating here about and other interesting things about Tesla's custom chip.

- It's under 100W so they can retrofit into old cars

- lower part cost, so they can do full redundancy with doubling the parts

- they estimated that 50 TOPS is needed for self-driving

- lower latency with batch size of 1 compared to TPU's 256

+ GPU for post-processing

- security: only code signed by Tesla can run on the chip

- at the time (2016) there was no neural net accelerator chips

- some part's are built from bought IP (so not reinventing them) Probably things like the 12 ARM CPUs, LP DDR4 memory, video encoder, maybe the separate post-processing GPU too...

- physical size of the board is small

- performance example: on CPU 1.5 FPS, on GPU (600 gflop) 17 FPS, on Tesla's NN accelerator 2100 FPS

- Besides the convolution even the ReLU and Pooling is implemented in hardware

- Paying attention to the energy efficiency down to the arithmetic and data type usage.

- The silicon cost is less than their previous hardware (HW 2.5)

- old hardware 110 FPS new one 2300 FPS

- 144 TOPS compared to NVidia's Drive Xavier 21 TOPS

FICO is trying to fix that with Experian Boost (https://thepointsguy.com/news/how-utility-bills-might-improv...). It will let you opt in to using utility and phone bills as part of your credit score.

But this is also far from perfect. If times are tough or you’re just irresponsible, you’re going to pay your utility bills because of the extreme inconvenience of having your utilities cut off but you may not pay your phone bills.
Not if you are added to a thread.
Right. We have priors about how the world works, and that usually helps.
Sure, do something between an article a wiki and a forum.

Insert your cursor in their message, press enter and respond to every part worth responding to - inline. (you may want to sign your entry)

Remove all parts of the previous message(s) that do not directly build towards the current conversation.

It should look so organized that the new participant immediately adopts the format. If they fail, do it for them. (preserve the sane part of their signature)

Doing it like this really feels like you are talking with serious people who would never waste your time. That said, you can now ask how their weekend was. That part of the conversation is simply removed later on.
Broad generalization: if there are three questions in an email, top posters will answer one, maybe two if the planets align. Someone who takes the time to inline quotes is more likely to recognize that three answers are required.

That sounds great. I haven't had the opportunity to use Phoenix yet but I'd like to sometime.
I agree that it is unlikely that the company "Apple have put in business logic that gives men 10x credit limit as women, but the back-end for this is created by Goldman Sachs. Can you with confidence says the same about them?

Thanks Karl! Seems like it is fine now.
Fair. Karl is probably close to the mark with his estimate of 5-8k. I would also guess that the vast majority of those are in the hands of other companies in the AR space rather than end-users of AR experiences.
Dahmer also performed neurosurgery on some of his victims while they were still alive, but not in order to torture them, more for power reasons. There have also been numerous cases of people faking medical abilities (including, roughly, every doctor before 1800) but I don't think we can unambiguously attribute any one of them to a strong desire to cut apart human bodies.
To be clear, this handgun roster is justified by claiming that new handguns needed to be tested to make sure they're "safe". Of course, only dirty civilians need to have "safe" guns, police departments can and do purchase untested guns with taxpayer money and as mentioned above cops can and do buy and flip untested guns. Obviously, this testing isn't free and is required on an SKU by SKU basis, so you can get a black Gen 2 Glock 17, but not a tan one because Glock only ponied up for the one model.
> "Some of these kids, when you operate on them, everything is dead, from the stomach to the rectum. It’s called a peek-and-shriek. You have to close and hand the child to her parents."

That's horrifying... "Your baby's power source is gone. There is no replacement."
Many gun control advocates see removing guns from private hands as a first step towards disarming the police. This is often couched in terms of a comparison with British policing: the argument is that British police are not as afraid, so don't engage in excessive force as often, because there aren't guns around that could be used to kill them.

However, most American police and sheriff's departments tend to support gun ownership. Maybe because they are as aware as anyone of the saying: "When seconds count, police are only minutes away.".
This has always been my default: including the entire reply chain for the same general reason you've stated, and top-posting my reply so it doesn't accidentally get read by someone later as part of someone else's previous message (possibly after formatting conversions that could conceivably screw up the displayed hierarchy). It just seems like the method with the least potential for things to go wrong.
Wow. You think Jimmy would have learned after getting hosed down on WeWork...nope.

Just anecdotal but JP Morgan appear to be involved in quite a few shitty deals this cycle. I know they are going hard in syndicated loans, which is very hot right now, wonder what we will find out when the tide goes out.
The Vasa museum is amazing. The ship itself sank 15 minutes into it's maiden voyage and had as uninteresting a career as can be imagined, but the museum captures a slice of 17th century Stockholm life in a way that's utterly compelling. It does a fantastic job of telling the story of the people who built the Vasa.

Note: There's a documentary on the Vasa that was playing in a side-room at the museum when I was there, but can be found online. It's worth watching if you have an interest in the ship.

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2301604/

The quality of the Vasa museum gives me hope that, one day soon, the recently discovered wrecks of the Erebus and Terror might be raised and put in a museum. Similar to the Vasa, these 19th century ships sank in waters with excellent conditions for preservation. Archaeologists believe conditions may actually have been good enough to preserve paper[1]! We can only hope journals kept by the crew may resolve the mystery surrounding the fate of the Franklin expedition. If a ship that sank 15 minutes into its maiden voyage can be the centrepiece of a world-class museum, imagine the museum that could be made out of ships that explored both of the world's poles and met fates that remain shrouded in mystery!

So... I'm not sure what exactly we're talking about. Since the comment said "spam and self-promotion", I'm assuming spam doesn't mean the self-promotion but the recommended media articles. They're not commercial messages. Arguably the self-promotion could be called spam but it also occupies much less space on the page.
Ok, so, how does a paranoid individual protect themselves from this attack?

Aside from "don't link your phone to these accounts" which isn't always possible as many banks in Canada only recently added SMS based 2FA.

Some ideas:

- separate phone for 2FA. This seems quite annoying in practice.

- a daily twilio script that SMS's your number as an indication that you've still got it. Easy to implement, but also easy to ignore and would only indicate after the fact that you lost your account.
Plenty of boring casual games with little success release early and often.

I don't think there is any 2 thing that made Minecraft a success. It's a combination of a great nu!bet of things but most importantly a combination of a great number of things done right together not just as you'd view them individually.

This is one of a few of my programming pet peeves. So many people I work with add comments which are completely just re-stating the code that follows. Ruby is particularly bad for this, at least visually.

Definitely a hot take. Scrolling is not the best UX for all content across all use cases. I'm sure you can imagine some use cases where pagination is superior.

And sure, paginating fixed content is easy. Paginating dynamic length content? Having poked around at the problem, I'm very curious to give this library a try.

The test itself wasn't fatally flawed, it snowballed when they had an unrelated engine malfunction.

Several minutes into cruise, the right engine inlet’s automatic control system malfunctioned, requiring a switch to manual control... Without proper scheduling, disturbances inside the inlet could result in the shock wave being expelled forward–a phenomenon known as an “inlet unstart.” That causes an instantaneous loss of engine thrust -- TFA

Typically a technically competent underground develops that can tunnel through the organizational morass imposed by the homo bureaucratus infestation expressed in the org chart, and somehow accomplish the mission.
Most assume it's too hard to automate any time soon.

But most people driving to work assume we are nowhere near automating that either.
Expecting a CS prof to know how to program is like expecting a pure mathematician to know how to use Mathematica/Matlab. It’s absurd and doesn’t follow at all.

Totally! I thought Portal 2 was going to be the perfect game to play when I had spare time in the office but without GLaDOS's clever lines -and the way it says them- it wasn't even enjoyable.
My apologies, it's Nordrhein-Westfalen, Hessen is the 5th most populated state only. Again my apologies, but the rest of the comment is accurate.
Or perhaps just more concurrently checked out books. Increase your maximum books for good behavior, decrease it for bad behavior (perhaps minimum of 3 books, maximum of 50 or something like that). Also, show the current no-late steak when checking out books and perhaps publicly display a list of everyone who has a perfect record for a period of time.

Also, as for the stick, perhaps temporary suspensions for consistent bad behavior would work.
That's usually why translators are called interpreters.
The three most powerful entities in California politics are the police union, the nurses union, and the teachers union. It’s important to remember that the teachers union fights for the rights of teachers, not students. The nurses union fights for the rights of nurses, not patients.

And the police union fights for the rights of police, not citizens.

Their rhetoric might say otherwise, but their underlying motives are clear. And they often scratch each other’s backs.

When the teachers union says that a new gun control law will protect kids, everyone just believes them.
How well does it handle orphans and widows? That's my litmus test for whether it is suitable at all for making books.
I dunno. If Windows continues its downward slide Linux will eventually be the lesser of two crap-piles and Steam will be well positioned to take advantage of it. How long will it take EGS to catch up with that?
Yeah, people like reaching milestones, so gamify it a bit.
I agree there's probably no bad intent on Apple's part. But there are anecdotal reports in dhh's twitter thread from husbands saying their higher-earning wives had much lower credit limits, so the explanation is probably not so simple.
Maybe I don't understand the project, but the top of the docs shows that it all goes inside the @media print{...} media query.
I disagree. I think "webserver got hacked, and no one noticed" is a very realistic threat model. The webpage tells me to get a script from "sh.rustup.rs" -- what is the security behind this server? How can I be sure that it was not hacked? If the server was hacked, how long would it be before the hack it is detected?

I have full trust in Rust team, but even kernel.org was hacked once! And the worst part, experienced users won't likely to notice that installer does something weird -- because it is fully opaque, and because it

An alternative approach is a manual "git clone". This is way more secure, because the same endpoint and protocol is used by both new users and devs doing daily work.

Can someone compromise dev account and backdoor git repo? Sure. How long before this is detected? Not very long at all, I bet there are people who work on Rust and watch every incoming change.
This person (Clyde Mandelin aka Tomato) did the fan translation/localization of Mother 3 into English. That game profoundly affected my life and I'm so thankful to him for making it possible for me to experience it
Talking about an alternate history where Britain and France got along opens up any number of possibilities, to the point that it's not really worth speculating on.

Rather than look for union with a devastated continent, Britain’s destiny lay West, in a special relationship with the United States.

This seems obvious to us now, but at the time it was anything but.

It's worth noting the historical context here. After WW1, the US and Britian were seen as rivals, and there was a naval arms between the two. It's unfortunate that there isn't a lot of history written about this, but you can see the shadows of it in things that don't make sense otherwise.

For example, the Wikipedia page for 1922 Washington Naval Treaty[1] says:
The risk of war with the United States was increasingly regarded as merely theoretical, as there were very few policy differences between the two Anglophone powers, and as late as 1929 Foreign Affairs was still writing articles like The Threat of Anglo-American Naval Rivalry.

But of course nothing came of this rivalry. In the 1920s and '30s Britian and the US were the two great economic and military powers, but there was nothing for them to fight over (except perhaps the Anglo-Japanese alliance[3], but the British gave that up pretty easily)
