Yes. And they also know that too many secrets makes a country militarily weaker. An example scenario, a intelligence professional comes across information that pertains to a plot to kill his co-worker that was collected in a way that is highly classified that he can't warn his colleague (with a lower clearance) about it.
Tony Shropshire video tip of the day
I've heard a few numbers thrown around, 1 in 20,000 comes up often, but I haven't found any reputable sources to back that up. According to the National Marrow Donor Program:

"On average, one in every 540 members of Be The Match Registry in the United States will go on to donate marrow to a patient."

http://marrow.org/Registry_Members/Donation/Donation_FAQs.as...

I can say from personal experience that I've been a registered donor for 8 years, and only just yesterday did I receive an e-mail saying that I may be a possible match for a patient. The process going forward is fairly long with tests along the way to be certain (http://marrow.org/Registry_Members/Donation/Steps_of_Donatio...). I was told it could be up to 2 months before doctors decide if I move on to the next stage of donation. If the doctors decide I'm the best match, it could be another 6 months before the actual donation.
A "system" can help formulate a better way of doing things.

For example, look at this website (not affiliated), they have a system in place that takes their leads through different steps: http://devfu.com/get_started.html

By documenting it and in this case by publishing it to the client, they save a lot of time because the client will be better qualified, more prepared when it is time to meet, and will already understand how they work.

So documenting how your people do things is useful because it will help find ways to improve the way they do them. You will be able to identify flaws or redundancies.

Or if the way they do it is perfect, at the very least, by documenting it you have a way to reproduce it in the case they go away with their savoir-faire.

I was considering developing an app to help a small business manage their processes (http://documnt.com) but I think http://howtracker.com is on the right track already.

An example of system you might be using would be the Scrum methodology. By writing down what process devs should use, you will legitimate the Scrum Master and make his work easier ("Hey guys, please send your daily scrum email").

Cheers,

I'm sorry, but there really is not much substance here, IMHO. A protester was marked with UV ink after being arrested. The article is literally 4 paragraphs about it, with most of it being the protester retelling the harrowing story of being "violated" by the ink. Maybe there is a significant civil rights violation in place here. I don't know. What I do know is that I didn't get much value from clicking the link, and I doubt many others here will.

Chromium is open source. Chrome is mostly open source. Both send a significant amount of data to either Google or your default search provider by default unless you tell them not to. I primarily use Chromium and I've been through the process of disabling all of its reporting several times - it seems to get easier over time, though following the code that might call out gets significantly more difficult.

I currently have my default search provider set to Bing because I hate searching from the navigation bar anyways and it really annoys me that there's no way to turn it off. I suppose that's the price I pay for using a browser built by a search engine.

I fondly remember the days when Michael Arrington was some corporate puke working for RealNames, a search-from-the-URL-bar concept that everyone outside of RealNames and Microsoft hated. Literally. Everyone.

Google made Mozilla profitable by paying them to be the default search engine. The moment they figured out that worked was probably the last moment browsing was safe anywhere - and the last moment being a Mozilla employee was safe as a long term goal for anyone, oddly enough.
As far as I know you are explicitly asked whether you want to enable Diagnostics & Usage when you first set up the device. (It’s one of the steps in the setup process.) I don’t know what the default setting for that is, though.

Hi nostromo,

I'm a Level II Volunteer for the National Marrow Donor Program, meaning I've had the training to coordinate and run drives locally. Let me preface my comment by saying I'm in no shape or form someone who is qualified to speak for the organization as a whole, as I've only become a volunteer in the last year. These thoughts are my own.

In my limited experience being a part of marrow drives I've come across many people, both volunteers and potential registrants alike, who feel similar sentiments to those that you have expressed -- myself included. There's a lot about becoming a donor that I really wish was better. The policy to not accept homosexuals as donors is created by some FDA(?) policy, so while I also "get it" at face value I wish the reasoning was better substantiated than a blanket ban on a specific group of people. Unfortunately as volunteers we operate on the hope that those that set these medical guidelines have more expertise/experience/knowledge than we do, so we have little choice but to follow them as dictated.

There are other shortcomings. As others in this thread have expressed, the registration form is crazy long. There are reasons for that too -- an inability to contact matches on the registry results in over a 50% false-matching rate in some ethnic groups -- but still, it's not ideal. The form is also very personal, and while the NMDP takes confidentiality very seriously perhaps they don't emphasize that enough. Trying to glean bone marrow information off of existing websites can be a very kludgey process, as several of the websites can be difficult to read/navigate. And there's a bias in the registration process for ethnic minorities, simply because they are so underrepresented that there's funding in place to cover their $100 marrow processing fees. White Americans don't have as much funding. 75% of the registry is made up of White Americans, and when we register White Americans we must ask for financial donations to help displace some of those registration costs. As a Korean-American, minority volunteer, it bothers me that whenever a white person comes to the table I must ask for a donation but I don't necessarily need to do so for minorities. It's not because I want to be racially discriminatory. It's solely because of a lack of funds.

At the end of the day, despite the parts that I wish were different, I still do my best to recruit donors. I know that the time taken to register every new individual to the registry is really a chance at life for someone who is dying. Being a cancer survivor myself I don't think I'll ever be able to forget the feelings of sheer despair and uncertainty surrounding my health, so I know that to come to the aid of someone in that situation, with no other options, is really an incredible, life-changing opportunity.

I really commend you for your honesty, and I don't sense bitterness at bone marrow donation in your comment but sadness at the circumstances. I hope you know that you are not alone in that. Here's to hoping one day bone marrow registration gets easier/more accurate/more efficient, and more accepting.

ISI2GO mobile app fetches news from Emerging markets even when on wheels
Some tips from a recent interview i did:

Living in many parts of the world is much less expensive than living in North America. When you’re starting a company, it’s really important to keep costs low, so living in a place where the cost of living is much cheaper makes a lot of sense. I lived for two months in the south of Spain while preparing to launch Art Sumo. For a fully furnished, two bedroom apartment in the center of the city, I paid approximately $300/month. How can you argue with that?

That said, be careful how much you travel around. Generally, I find that there is a serious tax to moving from place to place, because for each place you go, you need to spend approximately one week setting up (renting a place, getting sheets, finding a gym, etc). Keep in mind that while you’re setting up, it’s still time away from the business, so you must be able to plan for that. Also – if you’re living in a place that generally is very chill (eg. South of Spain!), it can be hard to motivate yourself to work 10 hour days when everyone else is getting up at 11 am only to take a siesta 2 hours later.

Good point. You could also realistically eliminate those who know they are infected from the potential false-negative category, which would give you an initial pool of 240,000[1] potential infected who don't know they're infected. Among them there is a 3% chance of non-response within 3 months to antibody testing, for a total of 7,200 false-negative potential candidates out there among 309,000,000 total Americans. Then consider the 1 in 20,000 odds [2] of being a match, and you end up with a false-negative match rate of 0.00117 per million people (according to wolfram alpha [3]).

I probably screwed something up, but in any case you are definitely right that the false-negative odds are very low among all potential applicants. Really makes the argument against seem foolish.

>But Scala doesn't let that happen nicely does it? Interfacing with Java collections feels just awkward.

Awkward? The Scala interface is better than the native Java interface itself. I can perform a map, reduce, filter on the Java array in Scala, something that is impossible in Java. How can it be more awkward than Java itself?
no false it is this libertarian circlejerk that is so prevalent among technophiles on the internet that has it all wrong. every single modern currency is fiat, and the us does not somehow magically benefit from this fact. the us was able to reach the economic position it has from a combination of unique factors that largely stem from ww2. but what he wrote is so incredibly wrong and nothing but sensationalist rhetoric. all countries are going to be facing issues moving forward, mostly revolving around how to deal with the negative externalities that arise from 1) automation 2) the resulting increases in productivity. People who don't understand modern economics have been screaming that inflation is inevitable since bretton woods, but it is not going to come. the us will be fine, and will still be the world's second largest economy in 2030.

On older fixed function hardware the fixed function pipeline mapped to hardware pretty directly. On modern GPUs most of the fixed function pipeline is emulated in drivers and shaders. So if you're doing "proper" low level graphics programming for modern GPUs you are writing shader code. Working with fixed function is writing for a low level abstraction that doesn't represent the way hardware actually works. It's true that using a 3D API at all is an abstraction that hides and simplifies many of the workings of the actual hardware, but modern APIs are much closer to actual hardware than legacy ones.

Yeah, that model is more or less what's in use. Except the real-world version is a bit more complicated and messier (and more confusing). But the principle is all the same. Read goes down, write goes up.

You can move information down only if the information is at the level you are moving it to and it's been properly signed off.

e.g. something that is marked Secret, but written to a Top Secret system, can be moved back down to the Secret system)

What I'm saying is, if you decided to say, use a Java HashMap in one part of your code for performance reasons. You'll have to live with that with the rest of your code. Half of the classes in the scala library doesn't like it because it doesn't implement the required traits and as far as I can tell there is no nice way of converting between collections.

Great - the Ninja 650r sounds like a good commuter bike then, and 60-70HP is a good range for a road bike. (I'm based in NZ - not the US market)

Dual purpose bikes are indeed harder to approach - the 1200GS Adventure I own is a huge tall and bulky machine. It took me a long time to get into them, and I started out with the smaller 650 GS series. They are however remarkably easy to ride, and to do so in almost any condition. They make great commuter bikes as you are much higher and generally have great luggage capacity and robustness for the occasional spill.
However you are essentially right - they are not as good as a pure-purpose bike for a particular application. You can dial in your degree of off and on roadability. KTM does the best hard core adventure series, while take your pick for the soft roaders of dubious merit.
If you do get into it then BMW run excellent (though rare) off road courses. We all had our bikes, mine a 1200GS, fully airborne on several occasion on my course. And there's a really scary photo from that same course on my eponymous blog header.

We could go back and forth - but essentially we are in agreement. I've ridden around the world in crazy situations, and still get surprised at what traffic can do.

An upright posture on the right bike will get you seen pretty easily, especially at night. Police (at least in most countries) generally do a great job of being seen and protected.

The language on marrow.org is unclear on this point, so I emailed them. The person who replied clarified that while their guidelines are "based" on the FDA's blood donation guidelines, their own Donor and Patient Safety Committee [1] ultimately determines policy.
