Three reasons that I can think of:

1. These images are likely captured on large-format glass plates, not tiny sensors. Therefore, the amount of magnification required is much less (these may be nearly 1:1 on a standard laptop display).

2. Chemical emulsions typically have much more dynamic range than digital sensors, allowing for more highlight and shadow detail.

3. Capturing colors in three separate exposures gets rid of the need for de-mosaicing.
> Its easy to see how an animal that eats human feces could be viewed that way.

Not necessarily that easy. For example, they didn't think farmyard manure was unclean but nonetheless used it to grow vegetables. My intuition is that it's easier to remember pig as "filthy", "unclean", "kosher", "forbidden" than their place in a complex and ever moving ecological system. Written record left by scholars could be deductions made about the current state of things and its lost meanings (that's actually part of my intuition).

One prominent (at least in this community) sufferer of this is Sarah Lane (of TechTV and TWiT).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarah_Lane#Personal_life

"On October 11, 2009, Lane was at a Los Angeles restaurant with a friend when she experienced a severe tonic–clonic seizure, went into spasms and blacked out. It was apparently her first such seizure. She was rushed to a nearby hospital, where she apparently stayed for a couple of days before being diagnosed with a lesion on her brain and eventually put on anti-seizure medications and discharged. Lane wrote on her blog that further diagnosis revealed that neurocysticercosis tumors have developed as a result of her contracting cysticercosis."

I suspect that two spaces make sense when you also limit the length of line to some maximum below 80.

I.e. I suspect that those using 4 or tabs also use long lines.

And long lines are not considered very readable these days...

As a result, my personal conclusion is that two spaces indented code shows a stronger interest in readability.

But I don't have numbers to back this claim and I understand it is contreversial. Maybe the author of this nice tool can add info about long lines?

Provide some arguments then? I guess for example democracy provides a means to settle conflicts without (too much) violence. But it might have other problems, for example minorities will probably be disadvantaged. More able people will be exploited by the less able people, too. As the US always demonstrates so clearly, opinions are easy to manipulate, too, so democracy might just empower a different set of people.

I guess for me democracy is not a value in itself, and that it is is one of the lies we have been taught. If a democracy sends me into war and gets me killed when a monarchy wouldn't have, why should I think democracy is better (just a hypothetical example).

I also think about tragedy of the commons type of problems, which a democracy should have an especially hard time of answering.

I don't see how staying in the office for 4 years practically indefinitely, makes you more resistant to exploit the opportunities it provides.

I don't think your scenario is a good example of the advantage of moral rights because I couldn't carry it out under copyright either. In the US, UK, and France, copyright is life + 70 years. Republishing your work, even with inserted statements on fascism, is a violation of copyright laws, so not permitted. Note that in the UK, moral rights only extend to the length of copyright law; in France it's forever.

Don't you think that 70 years is enough time for your original views to have gotten out? I mean, I could also take the works of Darwin and insert references to young earth creationism on every page, but I don't think it would change many people's minds about Darwin's works.

I suppose I could take an obscure biography written 100 years old and change it to discredit the original author. But what impact would it have? I could as easily write a completely fake story and attribute it to the original person, and get the same effect. Do you wish to also ban historical novels?

In Dastar Corp. v. Twentieth Century Fox Film Corp, the Supreme Court decision (8-0, btw) said:

> Reading "origin" in §43(a) to require attribution of uncopyrighted materials would pose serious practical problems. Without a copyrighted work as the basepoint, the word "origin" has no discernable limits. A video of the MGM film Carmen Jones, after its copyright has expired, would presumably require attribution not just to MGM, but to Oscar Hammerstein II (who wrote the musical on which the film was based), to Georges Bizet (who wrote the opera on which the musical was based), and to Prosper Mérimée (who wrote the novel on which the opera was based). In many cases, figuring out who is in the line of "origin" would be no simple task.

It seems the same problems of attribution, and of defining the source of the material, would apply to any moral right which extends "forever."

Thus why I don't think your example helps clarify the reason for the particular moral right you mentioned.

"Humans are T. solium reservoirs. They are infected by eating undercooked pork that contains viable cysticerci."

They are infected -> they get a worm by eating undercooked pork. Not cysticercosis

Normal lifecycle: Pork eats tape worm eggs -> the pork gets cysticercosis -> Humans eat pork meat -> humans get tape worm -> worm releases eggs in human faeces -> back to step one

Cysticercosis happens when the human plays the role of the pork

>"the best-considered view among medical practitioners with clinical experience is that the placebo response has no clinical application."

see -> "open-hidden paradigm"

"Placebo Effects are Inherent in Clinical Practice – even when no placebo is given

Some of the clearest evidence supporting the involvement of placebo effects in clinical care comes in the form of the open-hidden paradigm (Figure 3). In this experimental paradigm a treatment is given in a routine manner (the open administration), where the psychosocial context surrounding treatment administration is present, and a hidden manner, where the treatment is given without the patient's knowledge. In the case of drug therapy, the open administration mimics normal clinical care, where the doctor injects a drug in full view of the patient with verbal and contextual interactions. In the hidden administration, the drug is infused by a computer pump in the absence of the clinician and the therapeutic context. Patients receiving hidden administration are aware that at some stage they will receive a drug but they do not experience the expectation component or other contextual factors surrounding the administration. Because the hidden administration removes the psychosocial context of treatment, this paradigm defines the placebo component as the difference between open and hidden administrations, although no placebo is given

The open-hidden paradigm has been used in several clinical settings.

In pain, hidden administrations of five commonly used painkillers (morphine, buprenorphine, tramadol, ketorolac, metamizol) have been demonstrated to be markedly less effective than open administrations. ..." -> http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2832199/

Money is fungible or, a dollar is a dollar. We know with near certainty that 1600 dollars will save one life if spent on the best mosquito bednet charity. It may be the case that Charter Cities can and will lift millions out of poverty. It seems a plausible idea. If it is true the faster it happens the better. I'm fairly confident they have much less money than they'd like so they can productively put any donation to work.

Really, it's a choice between the near certainty of saving a life and the possibility that one could save many more. It beats donating to the Society for Curing Rare Diseases in Cute Puppies.
The author says:
"Or it can form the backbone of a rich, full-powered Javascript command-line, inspired by "perl -pe", and doing for structured data what sed, awk, and grep do for text."

But... "structured data", at least in his examples (and nearly all the JSON I see on the web), is... text. Does his perl script handle binary json?

The author says:
"Try doing THAT with any other CLI one-liner!"

Indeed I will, since I do not know perl. Should I learn it?

4. pipe through yycamel

No. The usual three step installation from source is

1. configure

2. make

3. sudo make install

Note the absence of 1, which would usually perform these kinds of things (checking for prerequisites, for example).

That's like saying "Guns don't kill people, people kill people." even though death by speeding bullet is more prevalent where guns are legal.

It's a monochrome version of RED's digital cinema camera, the EPIC-M. The regular version of this camera retails for US$39500. The higher retail price is possibly due to the lower demand for a monochrome only version.

The EPIC-M is capable of shooting 4k video at up to 120fps or 2k video at 300fps, goes some way to explaining the high price (although from what I understand, this compares favourably with the price of 35mm film cinema cameras).

The rationale behind the introduction of a monochrome version is explained by the RED representative on page 2 of the linked thread:

'It is significant to people that live in the B&W world. It is a request that we have had many times over the years just never had the resources to make it a reality.. until now.

'Having a dedicated BW camera if you are shooting BW is leaps and bounds better than shooting in color then transferring to BW later. It is why they continue to make BW film. There is no color filters on each of the pixels so you get increased light to each pixel, and there is no debayer process, so you get a much "sharper" image... a better tonal transfer in gradients as there is no interpolation. '

It is also stated that David Fincher (the director of Se7en, Fight Club and The Social Network) is currently using these monochrome RED EPIC-Ms to shoot his new film.
This is a great tutorial. CSSDesck is fantastic I love how simple the idea is, no fluff just code.
While I prefer the module solution, it's not always possible when you have mutually recursive record definitions. Well, technically it is possible - but it's very unpleasant [1].

[1] http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/users_guide/sepa...
It's a video camera that only shoots in black and white.

The reason you would want to shoot in black and white (rather than converting to B&W in post) is because it gives a sharper image, because it allows every pixel to be used for luminosity data rather than trying in interpolate. Read on [1][2] in the announcement thread for more details.

It's expensive because of the market it's aimed at, because it isn't hugely expensive for them. It doesn't cost much more than the colour version of that camera. Spending tens of thousands on bodies, and similar amounts on lenses is more or less the norm for very high end video. If it existed a couple of years ago, it might have been used to film The Artist.

So do I, but I don't see where you enter the master password to access it before typing "pass". If I walk away from my desk for a minute or two, and someone points my browser at my bank, he'll have to enter a password. If he tries to ssh to my server, he'll have to enter the password. If he tries a sudo, he'll have to enter a password. I assume someone who typed "pass" at my command line wouldn't be given full access to my entire password store without having to enter, well, a password, right?
