Can it? From what I've read it will only raise the temperature of the skin and skull by a fraction of a degree, far less than that absorbed from sunlight. The brain is very sensitive to temperature changes and even a bit more than a couple degrees above normal would be very noticeable damage wise - so if your brain cells were being fried the effects would be very visible.

Note too that exercise also raises brain temp but your brain is quite able to regulate its temperature under normal conditions (e.g. no certain drugs or overly hot).

I can't argue that their ideological bent is pretty strong (and not one I altogether share, really) but the financial and international reporting is consistently superb. Even though I disagree with them often, I always learn something in the process.
If we want to be nitpicky, one could claim Google has multiple products since they sell advertising in search, maps, gmail, and more.
This money is taken from private sector, profitable companies like Google and Apple, and is given to politically connected, trendy companies like Solyndra. Politically directed investment increases unemployment because the incentives are all wrong and the resources are invariably wasted. Private markets do a far better job allocating capital than governments-- that's the overwhelming economic lesson of the 20th century.
The problem is that despite this, the alternatives are all terrible. Once Google started ignoring random words a while back, I tried first DuckDuckGo, but their index is still quite small and my first query returned a single, unrelated result. Then I tried Bing and the results just aren't as good. I keep finding myself going back to google manually despite having Chrome set to use Bing by default...
Great meetup last night - thank you, Make Leaps, for putting it together.
It is claimed that mobile phone risks are insignificant compared to the risks of the sun, because the sun puts out way more radiation. However, risks may depend on power and frequency of the radiation (while it is true that ionizing radiation causes cancer, one can't rule out cancer effects at other, non-ionizong frequencies through unknown mechanisms). If it can be shown the sun puts out much less mobile-phone like radiation than your phone, then the conparison is not really valid. Put another way, the question is, "will I be exposed to more mobile-phone like radiation (1.8 Ghz) from a five minute call, or from standing in the sun for five minutes?" I tried to use a blackbody model of the sun to answer this, but I failed.

There's also effects of the heat given off by the phone heating your head, but I ignore that.

Thanks, I'd seen so many language bindings for imlib2 (and, yes, gd) that I'd assumed it was an active project, but you're right that it's not. Also gd does a lot more than it used to.

Thanks for the correction!
You said reading a notification. That's addressed with the notification center which doesn't even take you out of the app. If you do switch apps quick switching back to apps has been there since iOS 4 with the double tap of home. How much easier do you need it?

Sleep medicine is an extremely young field, beginning in earnest only in the 80s and 90s. It's not surprising that folks haven't heard of sleep disorders. Go back 10 years and ask if people had heard of sleep apnoea and you'll get a lot of puzzled looks too.

Also, I didn't say anything about how widespread it was - I said it fucked people up and it's not a pseudodisease.

It's not to say that there aren't overprescription issues, just don't fall into the Prozac trap - just because something's overprescribed doesn't mean there isn't a real disease around.

pg, we need a clearer voice against these types of loan schemes. In the Fisker deal, the Qatar state put up a fraction of the U.S. govt investment, and is getting equity in return. The U.S. taxpayer has nothing but downside and is actually underwriting the risk in Fisker for the venture investment of players like Kleiner Perkins, Qatar, and Palo Alto Investments. It is corrupt.
In my experience cell phones and microwaves ovens are thought by the random public member to be carcinogenic. Never mind that some of these people smoke heavily and binge drink. Heck there is a more logical basis to suspect flame grilling to be cancer causing than mobiles. There is no escaping the damn thing, life causes cancer.

"Patent trolls could be the end of Silicon Valley" says Tim O'Reilly
As an old dude, been around since uucp was the only way we talked to each other, was on the arpa net when we had the 11th IMP that connected people in real time, I really can't honor Dennis enough.

He was the real deal, very quiet, very passionate about what he did, he wrote, both in code and in papers, in a terse way that just got to the point.

If you have not gotten copies of the Bell Labs Technical Journals that have all the Unix papers in them, you are in for a treat. Get them. Read them. They wrote about what they did and wrote well. If all of us wrote that well the world would be a better place. I've tried. It's not easy.

When you read those you'll grow to like Brian and Ken as well. There is a lot of good there, I wouldn't hire anyone who had not read that stuff.

Bell Labs ought to be getting some loving here and we ought to be trying to bring something like that back. It was home for Dennis and Brian and Ken and Unix.
The difference being that there is a metric pants-load of evidence of the free market system producing better results in terms of individual wealth, individual liberty, life expectancy, and quality of life than other systems. You are basically saying that both the journal Nature and Astrology Today both have a heavy degree of dogmatism (one in the scientific method, the other in superstition) and that puts them on equal footing.
No, but it being a rather useless exploit is.

printf prints to standard output, which is line-buffered by default when reading from a tty on UNIX variants. This can lead to strange problems for those who try to use it to track which parts of a program are being executed, as demonstrated by the following program with an infinite loop:

#include <stdio.h>
int main(int c, char **v) {
printf("Hello\nJello");
while(1) ;
return 0;
}

Beware of Illegal Auto Glass Claims Harvesting
Have you ever thought you had bad eyesight because you couldn’t see that rather small chip that supposedly required total windshield replacement? Beware of aggressive salespeople in Phoenix, Sun City, Sun City West and Youngtown with unreliable and unprofessional “fly by night” auto glass companies that offer to replace your vehicle’s windshield…especially when there doesn’t appear to be anything wrong!

Bay Area, Midwest, and East Coast are the three locations for each option, and they all add up to 100%. What about Southern Cali or the Pacific Northwest, both of which have at least some amounts of demand for CS graduates? I can't imagine they are 0%, so I'm guessing they are clumped with the Bay Area.
Unfortunate that they give Linus Torvalds so much praise for "reinventing Unix" with Linux. It was at least substantially, if not equally, made possible by projects such as GNU. Clearly the kernel was a huge and necessary part, but it was just that: a part.
The privacy laws are part of the attraction (though they're not unique), but they're not totally impenetrable. Show the Swiss government decent evidence that funds in a Swiss bank are the proceeds of a crime and those funds will be seized. But why should the Swiss do your homework for you?

Requiring citizenship in order to obtain secrecy is, if you think about it, not really going to work. How do you prove that the account holder is a citizen if you don't know who it is?

Neutrality means, necessarily, that you will deal with scum. But it also reduces your chances of involvement with devastating wars. The Swiss have made their choices.

Early in my career I was lucky to use Unix System V. I found those voluminous unix manuals so natural. I could find anything came to my mind less than a minute. Unix system was so coherent, so intuitive. I still enjoy unix prompt, shell to this day.

His book "The C Programming Language" has been the best language book I have ever read. So succinct, but so rewarding for those who studied diligently. Such a beautiful book. I always took that thin book as a standard to compare all the technical books I encountered. If it is that fat I thought there must be something wrong with either the book or the subject of it.

In a broader context:

There was this article recently about Steve Jobs. In that it said somewhere around 90 billion passed through this life and only a few could be able to find his/her voice. Many died before his full potential could even be recognized by themselves. I wonder what would world look like if those could fulfill their talent to their maturity. Because not all societies of the past allowed such liberty for many.
Mainframes and minis were replaced by PCs. Tablets and mobiles may complement PCs, but they won't replace PCs. Like I said, I don't see any actual evidence there's a "post-PC" era. It's more like a "Post-DS" era.
In astrophysics, most postdocs seem to make between 45-60k. The grant agencies do not dictate what the salary is. There usually is a salary scale set by the institution, but I know that at least at UC Santa Cruz it ranged from $32k to $75k so did not in practice restrict the department from paying whatever they wanted.

I'm really surprised that a CS/EE postdoc would be paid only $43k, since they are more commercially viable than astro one.

The sun puts more infrared radiation on your head. And while I have not looked it up or done any calculations, I suspect that if you integrate over total exposure (watts/m^2) to microwave radiation per unit time on your head, for the average person, the sun will come out on top over the mobile. Especially those near the equator. And since you can't hold all variables as equal we can likely usually find two people where phone + sun is equal but phone or sun exposure for the other person is more. So I argue for many persons we can find another who is doing okay whose total microwave power absorption from sun is equal to that of our person's sun and mobile exposure.
Indian Salwar Kameez | Cotton Salwar Kameez | Patiala Salwar Kameez
Salwar kameez is very close to all women’s heart because of its versatile nature. It is due to its all figures enhancing quality. Also it is unaffected by age and looks good on all age women. Salwar kameez having beautiful embroidery over it is known as embroidered salwar kameez. Churidar Kameez is one of the most favorite variations of the traditional Indian salwar kameez. It is quite similar to the traditional Indian salwar kameez but here women wear a 'churidar' instead of a pajama or a 'salwar'. Patiala Salwar Kameez has its cause in the city of Patiala Salwar Kameez in northern India. The churidar is a slimmer version of the 'salwar' emphasizing the ankles and knees. This looks best on tall ladies, highlighting their long legs. Here you will find different to Patiala Salwar Kameez wallpapers, Salwar Kameez Patterns, Traditional Punjabi Salwar Kameez, Afghani Salwar Kameez, Bandhej Salwar Kameez, Churidar Salwar, Wedding Party Salwar Kameez, white salwar kameez designs, Casual Salwar Kameez.

Playing it a lot does not imply greatness, however; I've played a lot of NHL 12, which doesn't make it great. It's good, but not great. I played it a lot because I had a lot of classes with Unix terminals and was frequently bored.

Nethack simply does not hold up to continued scrutiny. Games which I consider to be great--Total Annihilation, say--do.

I did a little mining while it was profitable, but running the air conditioning to keep the GPUs from melting cannibalized most of it during the summer.

> People graduating with a degree from Stanford can be presumed to look for full time work at a salary sufficient to pay off student loans.

I just wanted to point out that Stanford has a no-loan policy. Most Stanford graduates owe either nothing or very little in student loans (anecdotal evidence so correct me if I'm wrong).

I left the software industry to go to grad school. I just finished a three-year postdoc. The pay was a little more generous, but in the same ballpark.

IMHO, it was the best gig in the world. I got to be at a fabulous university (Stanford) and was actively mentored by the world's leading experts in my subject area. I had a total of 120 teaching hours in the classroom over three years; no committee work; my only other duties were scholarship and research. It was like going to school, with the best teachers in the world, and with plenty of personal attention.

Oh, and they paid me.

I'm not loving the sales theme strategy. I like that it is a different approach and all, but when I have something to sell I'm not going to wait until the right "theme" comes along. If I have a guitar that I want to sell now I shouldn't have to wait until a music theme comes along.

Maybe I am missing something and I would love some direction if anyone can provide it, but it seems like the whole idea is to provide a platform to sell the junk you have lying around in a fast and convenient manner. Waiting until music day to sell my Strat doesn't sound very convenient.

No disrespect to the founders or anything, I'm just a little confused. I love this concept of selling your junk quickly with automated price suggestions, that is brilliant. I'm just lost on the theme angle.

As dimmuborgir already pointed out, they do upgrade Firefox. It's the exception of the rule and my impression is that there was much gnashing of teeth when Mozilla's update policy forced Canonical to start doing this.
The reason they moved is because no one else wants to teach it in scheme. When I took the class in 2007 he mentioned then that after he retired the class would switch to python because he was the only one who thought SICP was worth the headache of dealing with scheme.

However, they still use SICP behind the scenes because they have a bunch of lecture notes for it, and because it really is a great book.

btw, i don't think harvey actually retires until 2013 or 14. i think he's just doing behind the scenes stuff now.

Good journalism in my book attempts to report the truth objectively no matter the subject. By-lines are an important part of that. It puts the author out there so his or her biases and conflicts of interests are not protected.

The Economists shields its authors from scrutiny and lends its credibility to who knows who. How do I know if the writer of an article criticizing one industry doesn't have interests in its rival? Or is a person of one political party criticizing a political opponent? Is it "The Economist" criticizing the Democratic Party in this article or is it penned by the hand of Karl Rove?

Second and most importantly, like I said, even if you agree with free markets, it is one thing to agree with them. It is another thing to close yourself off from alternatives.

The truth is key. Remaining objective is key. If there is evidence of the free markets working, by all means report it. But don't glorify it. And if there is evidence of free markets failing, report that, too. Don't hide it. Don't apologize for it. Report the truth. Journalism isn't about believing in something. It's about reporting what happens. The Economist is about believing in free markets. Therefore it is bad journalism, but it is good propaganda. If The Economist was about objectively reporting on politics and economics and just happened to have positive articles about free markets because there really is positive evidence to report, I would forgive it. But that isn't the case, so I can't.

EDIT: I realize people are misinterpreting my criticism to be about The Economist's ideology. It is not. My criticism is that it has an ideology. That's propaganda not journalism by most commonly understood definitions of propaganda and journalism.
Yes, and my certainty that I am right on this point is clad in iron. You clearly don't understand what I'm saying.
