It's a hard hypothesis to prove either way.
One finds that quantum effects dominate the physics at smaller length scales.
In quantum theory, the smaller a thing is (its Compton wavelength) the higher its mass or energy. At the Planck scale the density becomes large enough for a black hole to form. So we can get quantum fluctuations creating virtual black holes, which means that the description of spacetime as a continuous thing is invalid.
> I went to a talk about Wayland at FOSDEM. What was most interesting was that everything they are trying to solve has already been solved by X.

This is because Wayland is meant to be a subset of the functionality of X. It's not meant to do new things, it's meant to strip off 3 decades worth of cruft that is of little value today.

Note that Wayland is not ran by a bunch of random people who decided that X sucks and that they can do better -- a vast majority of the commits are by veteran X developers.
You still need to provide an access key id and secret access key with that session token as returned by Security Token Service. And properly sign every request with those credentials. With a proper session token, but invalid credentials, the request fails with HTTP 400: "__type: com.amazon.coral.service#InvalidSignatureException, message: The request signature we calculated does not match the signature you provided. Check your AWS Secret Access Key and signing method. Consult the service documentation for details.". Amazon still checks the signature. The same logic that could be used for IAM credentials that don't expire, without the need to check for a valid session token. If it is an Amazon screw up, that static credentials take more time to evaluate vs temporary credentials - that's not out fault. It is a pure Amazon screw up. The signing logic is still there for every API call. So (apparently?) we're back to square one: extra requests and wrapper logic for zero benefits, and worse overall experience. The session credentials aren't stateful. I specifically checked for this behavior. Therefore what you say, doesn't seem to happen in reality.

And for the love of God, don't blindly trust the documentation / what the AWS folks say. As an AWS library author myself, I had a lot of fun debugging failed requests because the smarty who wrote the signing procedure docs forgot to mention some HTTP headers that are mandatory to sign. I had to reverse engineer an official SDK in order to patch my own code. While being implemented as the docs say, the signing method failed at every request, although I had a valid session token. Trial and error is always a broken way of developing things due to broken docs. If you're an AWS employee, please send my regards to the documentation folks.
I use both OS X and Ubuntu. In comparison, Ubuntu is terribly slow, even on basic things such as dragging and resizing windows, let alone graphically-intense applications. This is both with ATI's proprietary drivers and the opensource radeon driver. Things are a bit better if I don't use a compositing window manager.

I am not sure who is to blame, X or the drivers. But most users won't care. They'll see that GNU/Linux has a bad desktop experience, and revert to whatever they were using.

I've used group brainstorming as an effective technique for large writing projects. Get together as a group, brainstorm an outline for each section, then assign the sections out to small writing teams.

Accomplished several fairly large projects this way. I think it works because even though people aren't necessarily brain storming for their section, they can bring valuable insight to the person who has to do the writing.

And non-scientists take a more rational, balanced view that is more free from bias?

I think bias is intrinsic to being human, and unavoidable (all we can do is mitigate its damage). But someone who can admit they are wrong when faced with evidence (aka a scientist) is probably better equipped than one who is adamant that if they keep saying "no", eventually the universe will shut up and behave (most politicians).
By enabling I mean the act of creating an environment that enables people to do good work. I've always like the metaphor that a project is like a truck and the role of the project manager is to keep the road clear. That's what I mean by enabling.

In terms of informing, I wasn't wild about the word but couldn't find anything better quickly. Where I was coming from is that in many cases developers and technicians don't have knowledge of the market, don't have much interest in liaising directly with customers and so on. That information should be fed back into the team and customers and others outside the technical team should have a voice which is another function one of the manager should provide.

I've always seen management in an ideal world as a peer role with different responsibilities.
PEditor: An PHP+iFrame WYSIWYG Editor
PIR is a web based Rich Text Editor which utilizes PHP and IFRAME and JavaScript. It includes all the necessary functions to edit WYSIWYG(What you see is what you get) contents. It uses an embeded iframe as the edit area. And all the commands such as bold,italic,copy and insert image are realized with JavaScript(Client-side) and PHP(Server-side).
It's opening a big can of worms.

You cannot prove their age (I've seen 17 year-olds looking like they were 25) and you cannot prove they give their consent to have their seemingly private pic posted, but this can be said about almost any "mirror pic" or home pic. You also don't generally know when a picture has been publicly posted by the person in it, or not.

As soon as you put the burden of proof in the website, you start slipping into SOPA territory.

Not a good idea IMO.
Exactly; so many of the problems of under-representation are due to minority groups having disparate, rather than concentrated, power bases and so failing to achieve the threshold for election in any single seat in spite of having more than enough supporters more widely.

STV (IRV with multi-member constituencies) or regional top-up lists can both mitigate this. Neither is perfect, but they certainly help.

A fair point: you can get by without them completely for many tasks, or with them but not actually knowing you are using them (and/or what to call them) because you've not needed to understand the implications in detail (i.e. you might pass out an inner function and merrily call it, or hand a function that uses state outside its internal scope to some library, without knowing that these are closures).

But to not be able to grasp it at all when explained (he wasn't being asked to describe them from his own understanding), definitely marks "javascript: advanced" as an exaggeration far too far IMO.

To be honest I wasn't being really fair with the closure thing. I should have not proceeded as we'd already left his safety zone long before that point. Anonymous functions were alien to him, and I'm not sure he was even comfortable with the idea of functions being entities that you could pass around at all (i.e. do anything with other than define and call).

To put is simply: I considered his level of knowledge/experience to be no better than basic, perhaps not even that, unless you count having copied and pasted some more advanced code samples, and his CV claimed "advanced". And not recognising jQuery(document).ready() or any of its shorter equivalents made his level of anything with jQuery "none" rather than "intermediate" claimed (making that an flat out lie instead of just a gross exaggeration).
That's rough. It looks like they still have no idea how their server was compromised, although they appear to be running Frontpage extensions (if the posted scan is accurate), which can be a great way to get bit. I have no idea what the state of Apache's Frontpage extensions are.

If it was a Frontpage exploit though, then that should show up in the server logs. If the server logs don't show anything suspicious, then I'd be more concerned about how it happened and whether any other system files have been touched.

rkhunter (http://rkhunter.sourceforge.net/) used to be a nice way of getting started with a problem like this, but I haven't used it in a long time and it looks like the project might be dead now.

One of the nice things about using BackupPC on a server is that it can show you when files change for a particular directory, which might make server cleanup easier, depending on how careless the attacker was.

>it's more fun to watch because it looks riskier

Then why isn't the rest of the world just as enamored by American Football as Americans? It's an almost non existent sport anywhere outside the US. If it really were more fun to watch than soccer or rugby, it would surely be more fun to watch in the UK, Germany, Brazil, etc.

It's only more fun to watch because you're used to it and your sporting culture is built around it.

Why don't they want to enter politics though? If we drew up a hypothetical list of attributes for a scientist, how many could cross over into politics?

Significant intellect and a desire to exercise that in significant work? Yes.

Deep interest in a field and a wish to explore that further? Yes. (In the sense that many such people seem capable of maintaining multiple such interests.)

Interest in complex work and ability to hold large datasets in mind? Yes.

Drive to rise above others and push for achievement? Yes.

The more I look, the more it seems that a major factor working against scientist partiicpation in public debate generally and politics more specifically is a strong pervading trend of anti-intellectuallism. In science they can know that, by and large, if they back up their assertions with rigorous testing and data, their viewpoint will at the very least be taken seriously and very likely accepted. Whereas, by current trends at least, in politics their assertion would be rubbished as elitist and talked down with an incoherent anecdote.

Where, in that system, is the motivation for the genuinely capable and informed to use their abilities for the public good?

The no-criticism rule is probably more important in a hierarchical organization. At BBDO in the 1940s, I imagine junior creatives were intimidated by senior partners and the challenge was to get them to speak freely. The experiments that show no benefit were done on groups of students, all roughly peers who weren't afraid to utter a silly idea.

The article suggests that brainstorming was invalid all along, but it's more fair to say that it had a time and place. Society and business have evolved towards equality and inclusiveness, so the no-criticism rule is less important.

> i believe [...] ClojureScript running on top of Node.Js be a better fit?

Why? Python is likely to be installed in far more environment than Node, and for scripting, Clj on top of Python provides the faster startup of Python interpreters without the callback spaghetti inherent to Node. Because even if Clojure(Script) handles functions better than Javascript (both in verbosity — fns are no more verbose than lets — and in its scoping handling) it's still callback spaghetti.
how does it implement clojure's lazy sequences? does it manage to map them to generators?
Only if you explicitly turn the ANSI_NULLs option off, IIRC more conformant behaviour has been the default since at least version 7.

Of course it does still have irritations like trailing spaces not being considered significant in string comparisons (to pluck a random example from the air) but so do other databases, especially those that have been around many years so have their on legacy to be backwardly compatible with lest the users revolt, including Oracle (empty strings being considered NULL for instance).

That statistic would be even more violently pro-nuclear -- you need to dig up roughly 20 000 times more coal than uranium to produce the similar amounts of energy, assuming a steam thermal coal plant and a light-water nuclear reactor. If you swap that light-water plant to an advanced heavy water plant like CANDU, that multiplier goes up to about 2 000 000 times. A fun fact: the extractable amount of energy in the trace radioactive elements (notably thorium) that is dug up with coal (and mostly distributed into the environment) is several times higher than the extractable energy content of the coal.
4GB installed. I looked at /var/vm/sleepimage before and after a reboot and it was 4GB in both cases (at least according to ls).

I didn't however realize that /var/vm existed and contains pointers to the other swapfiles that I can monitor to see how they change. Thanks for the tip!

1 - is the vidalia package you're using new enough? i haven't checked, but when i installed a bridge a few days ago it needed the very latest release of tor.

2 - if you look at the instructions in the other thread, the obfsproxy didn't run in managed mode - it needed to be run separately (which requires changes to the config). see http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3579531 and the related link.

3 - last i heard from tor they were actively developing this so there may be fixes soon.

4 - perhaps it's not so pressing anyway if things are back to normal in iran (i wonder if obfsproxy helped, or if the uptick shown in the link was just natural recoveryg?).

> More people die mining coal each year than have died in Nuclear power plant accidents in the entire history of Nuclear power.

And the miner deaths are completely insignificant part of the total death toll of coal. Most of the death toll comes from NOx and SO2 poisoning, and manifests in cancer and respiratory diseases. The total death toll is hard to tally, but it is typically estimated to be between 100k and 1M a year.

Russia to Deploy S-400 Air Defense Systems Near Borders
An interesting article, but I can't understand why the author thinks the current football code would wither and die in quite the way he proposes when there are other codes with much better safety records and to which they could transition relatively easily; why would the asset holders voluntarily wind up rather than trying to maximise their returns?

* Rugby Union / Rugby League. USA already has a relatively decent national Rugby Union side - certainly not top drawer, but able to compete at World Cup level. The facilities could be relatively easily converted and while there are certainly game subtleties that are very different (a complete ban on forward passes, for example), it'd likely be an easier player transition than to soccer or basketball.

* International Rules Football. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_rules_football) An existing hybrid of Gaelic football (for which I'd be astonished if there weren't east coast teams...) and Aussie Rules Football. Again, American teams exist, the pitches would be relatively easily converted, the skills are based around ball carrying and throwing...

Universities make too much money from football to just kill it. Too many large franchises make enormous sums from it, too many towns have it as a significant percentage of GDP. No transition to a new code would ever be easy but, if the writing was on the wall, the financial incentive for (say) one of the large conferences to give 3 years notice of transition to a new code in preference seem enormous in comparison with simply shuttering.

(Now, speaking as a Brit sports fan, if North America could only switch from Baseball to T20 Cricket then.... ;-))
More tips:

* Always stand-up while meeting.
* Not everyone can lead a meeting. Ask someone how can to lead the meeting. This can even be someone without interest in the subject.

> Y'all don't have a good proof that dynamic typing implies better developers or static typing implies bad developers

I never said (nor implied) that. I said dynamic typing leads to more concise and readable code. Most of the time, you'll be reading the code, so, it makes sense to optimize for readability.

> most Python/Ruby developers are just as average as Java developers

Wouldn't it then make sense to give them better tools? I don't use Python because I'm better than my colleagues who prefer Java - I use it because I want to get the job done and keep it done with less effort.
Wars tends to be a tad more dynamic than gridiron. Out of the major ball sports it's by far the most dragged out: 5 seconds of mayhem, 60 seconds of faffing about.

I have never been to war, but I have friends who have, and your description of gridiron sounds just like their description of war. 2 month faffing around at base, 2 hours all out mayhem and intense fire fights, repeat for 12 month.
