I'm looking for a cofounder! Company: ramen-noodle profitable, bootstrapped, want to grow it as fast as possible. Me: experienced, all-terrain. You: smart and balanced, play hard, work hard, some business chops, preferably local to the bay area.
Haha, it's pure css, come on and see what is the power of css/css3 !
I see you gave up defending thousands of times less criticism of brutal dictators and nazi racist hatred propaganda. (See previous examples if you want to touch that.)

There are afaik papers that discuss different evolutionary strategies for animals of different social status in groups. In some level, behaviour with so big influences on fitness generally makes sense in game theory.

It would be interesting to see support for the claims about sentence length not influencing behaviour? I've only heard claims, bever seen a good overview of the research. (As I wrote above, not or drunk idiots getting into fights.)
I think it's pretty simplistic, not to mention rather patronizing, to suggest that the only proper way to spend one's youth it to waste time on stuff that other teenagers do, and that people who aspire to something else must be protected from themselves.
Don't do it. It's a trap.

I don't think what you said makes what I said any less true i.e. there's probably a large mix of backgrounds in Islamist movements. I would however be willing to bet that the majority of the TTP are recruited in a way similar to what I described above.

Note that the feudal landlord is my cousin, and the guy/village is based on a real person, so I'm not just pulling this story out of thin air (i.e. anecdata).
That's great - thank you. The iTunes playlist option will be "good enough" for my purposes. It's a hacky way to do it but at least I'll have a reason to use iTunes for something other than backing up/configuring my phone haha.
Yes.

And it's worth pointing out that the "other parts" have also been audited by security professionals.
The problem is that it makes people believe that the suit would feel like a 25 pound suit on the moon. And that isn't the case. In terms of gravity (so, strictly downward force), it's true, but in order to move around (to push forward the whole thing, so to speak) it still feels like 150 pounds, because that's what its mass is.
The foetus basically develops in a zero g environment anyway- being suspended in liquid- its on the adult that the major effects would occur.
And I would put my money on the body adapting very well to a reduced gravity environment if it was born into it. I have no proof for this apart from the adaptability of genetics and development.

Right, the only real argument against nuclear is unfortunately a big one. Humans are simply not far-thinking and reliable enough to be trusted to properly manage all stages of a nuclear plant's lifecycle. But rather than give up -

Is there any research being done to automate as much as possible such that the required operators becomes small enough for it to be feasible to confidently vet that they are intelligent and scrupled enough to understand the consequences of cutting corners? And also make it hard to build it the wrong way by removing as many variables as possible?
I've been using computers since the 80's. I haven't used anti-virus software since the 90's. And yes, I have been using Windows until somewhere in the 00's, including Windows 95, which is about as vulnerable as it gets.

When I was using antivirus software, it never set off any alarms once. I still occasionally install and run antivirus software, it doesn't find anything, so I remove it again. I've sat in the middle of major virus outbreaks inside companies and not be affected.

I have no idea how people manage to get infected. Every time I read about some malware scare, I look at how it spreads and think to myself "but... why would you do that?".

In the 80s we had boot sector viruses that would bite you as soon as you inserted a disk, and disks where the only way of exchanging data. You couldn't protect against those without antivirus.

But today most malware seems self-inflicted, and only spreads through naivety, ignorance and laziness.

Sure, I could still get infected tomorrow. After 25 years of computing it's bound to happen to me at some point. But it will most likely be because I did something I shouldn't have, not because I don't have adequate anti-malware protection.
Germany has an export surplus (!) of 10TWh electricity in the first half of 2012. We are among the world's largest exporters of electricity.
The iTunes playlist thing makes me think of another option: creating a "Contact" for each song title in a contact mgmt app, and then creating a "Group"/"Category" for each set and adding that contact to that group. It's the same thing - just a different twist on how to think about it.

My personal experience managing a team through a restructure
Clarification: by my saying "10-15% protection" I mean I'm guessing that 85-90% of the time my clients' machines come across badware in the wild, their AV misses it and they are compromised. Not a hard number, but my impression over the last year.

> "Ultimately, what this article and your comment insinuate is that you can uninstall antivirus and be "just as safe." That is not true..."

Agreed, but at the same time it's hard to recommend paid AV solutions that don't really work for what people perceive as 'a virus'. What I've come to do is:

* de-emphasize the importance of AV to my clients; tell them it may help but don't count on it

* recommend running the free AV of their choice

* emphasize the importance of updates

* emphasize Chrome + 'Click to run' as the primary protection approach: http://www.pcstrikeforce.com/taking-chrome-security-next-lev...

Point 1: Age may be a proxy for experience, or wisdom, or whatever -- but anyone who evaluates individuals based on proxies rather than based on their actual attributes is both lazy and (by definition) prejudiced. It's always possible that an individual -- young or old -- will greatly exceed the average capabilities of their age-group. Moreover, those who exceed the average capabilities of their age-group are likely to be extraordinary individuals in more ways than one -- more worth getting to know, in my experience, than individuals who merely live up to the average capabilities of their age-group.

Point 2: I, too, was a wunderkind -- and part of me regrets it. By age 12 I was hacking around the Freenets; by age 14 I'd tested out of high school; by age 16 I'd left home and was working for a well-known architectural institute; by age 18 I was running its computer department and my 3D visualisations and been featured on PBS and NHK, and exhibited around the world. But I was so busy being a wunderkind that I never took the time to be an actual kid. I was enormously serious: didn't goof off, didn't party, didn't kiss a girl until I was damn near 20. I wish I'd gotten an earlier start on all that. Honestly, there's plenty of time in life to rack up accomplishments, but youth is something that you only have once, and my advice to other wunderkind is to exploit the hell out of being young while you still can.

(Not that I would've listened to such advice myself...)
Yeah, DMA makes it "not that bad" at first glance, but it's just a workaround (hdd to hdd) and you'll see that you need a workaround on workaround next to a workaround when you go that alley, instead of just getting just bandwidth.

Doing that makes it not a tuple but just a string that's in brackets.

Anybody that's done Python for more than a day will instantly know that you'd do ("foo",), and to be honest you'd more likely write it as

(
"foo",
"bar",
"baz",
)

So removing the last two elements will not break the tuple.

They are competitors. Both do blood tests. It depends on how much your current healthcare provider would charge and what kinds of tests they'd run. They do the same thing (but possibly give you the results in a more enjoyable/easier to understand interface).

There will be quite some people that would pay more for better treatment/faster service. Or because doctors refuse the tests.

If you just focus on storage, yes, Dropbox is more expensive.

But this is kind of like saying iOS is just an expensive closed variant of FreeBSD.

Since I'm not drawing a salary from Dropbox's marketing division, I'm not going to go in depth here but I'll just say that Dropbox can be used easily and efficiently by normal people who have never seen a command line. Whereas your home brew python+rsync scripts can only be used by nerds like us.
> It's very seductive to argue from an evolutionary advantage perspective. It can be used to generate Hypotheses that need testing. But one shouldn't give health advice based on it. After all we brush teeth, wear clothes and benefit massively from machines and modern medicine.

It's about sane defaults. The effort to validate every reasonable hypothesis is extraordinary, and sometimes impossible. We can't afford to live our lives based only on what conclusions science has been able to come to so far. Making some choices based on ancestral norms is perfectly acceptable and better than many alternatives.

Where can people with Data Journalist skills be found? We're trying to hire what we're calling a Data Editor (similar I believe) where the role is about using our data to tell compelling data-driven stories. It requires the ability to analyze and ask questions of our data (in MS Excel at a minimum) to ultimately develop short data-driven narratives of their findings.

While we've found folks who are amazing at the data analysis part or the writing part, never have the two met. Either we're looking for a unicorn or simply not looking in the right places? Any recs on where to look?

Age can be a proxy for wisdom and responsibility, but it isn't very accurate. Everyone knows someone in their 40s that act as though they are 15.

Further, the wisdom people gain with age includes what is not possible and what is foolish. History is filled with stories where being a little foolhardy has changed our world. This is why mentor relationships can be so valuable. I recommend everyone commit time to them, they often pay great dividends to both parties.

I don't know if there has been a thorough test on capabilities of smartphone antivirus apps but I know there has been a lot of reports of malicious apps, basically viruses for smartphones. Protection is necessary (for majority at least).
This is a better approach, but as you say it does put the configuration overhead on the user - and many users will just click "yes" when asked whether to allow something.

So user eduction is important, but hard to ensure across a whole organisation for example.
No FUD intended. Given the option, when the alternative is manual entry, many people will use the pasteboard, security be damned. In other words, convenience can be an important part of security.

As for root, while I completely agree, I guess I just prefer concrete examples. Even when running as root, one can never do "anything" for free, and costs are always important to security. Writing a dtrace script is much easier than reverse engineering...well, pretty much anything.

But I'm honestly more interested in how you feel your solution improves upon Keychain's security.
Your first paragraph is not entirely true. Antivirus software does much more than that. For example watching over IO operations, boot, memory management, interprocess communication and so on. "Scanning files" is the basic thing to do but it does not stop there.

>I don't think wages affect honesty to any great extent, no. I think bad working conditions affect honesty a lot more.

Sure, but the two are closely correlated.

>do you ask the hotel how much they pay their cleaning staff, and choose the one with higher base pay? How much more are you willing to pay to be in a hotel which pays their employees a higher wage?

I'd be surprised if they handed that information out, and it's not worth a great deal of research. But if I do happen to know then it changes how much I'm willing to pay for a given hotel, yes. I haven't calculated every facet of my internal hotel-pricing model (and it's almost certainly nonoptimal in some way - just not worth the effort to optimize), but I've certainly been known to pay more for a hotel I had a better impression of that, and on the (IIRC unique) occasion when I happened to know what the cleaners at one were paid I'm pretty sure that was one of the factors.
I do what you're describing, as a community it's a real mix of backgrounds. Personally I think you're best off looking for someone with an editorial background and a willingness or interest in the technical side than the other way around, a knack for spotting a story is a harder skill to learn. The other thing is that presenting those stories in anything other than words is another skillset entirely, both in terms of design and development. Finding someone that can do all 3 very well is a tall order. More recent grads coming out of journo school increasingly have some programming or stats proficiency, that would be the best place to start looking. The other place would be the more hard (as in both high quality and more technically/theory focussed) graphic/information design courses.

Download a list of the top 25 most prescribed drugs of 2011 and let me know how many are clinically superior to faith healing. The entire list is dominated by SSRIs, benzos, statins, calcium channel blockers, antipsychotics, and evergreened drugs like Nexium -- all of which are no better than generics or placebos, and in fact are considerably worse, for the vast majority of people they're prescribed to.

Then after that look at a list of the most performed surgeries and let me know how many are more effective than placebo surgery.

That's the point the author is making. The belief that you can eat whatever you want and not exercise and then take a pill to keep you alive is really no different than believing that Jesus is going to save you, at least as far as the evidence is concerned.
