I wonder if this disparity only arises at the high end of intellect/education. Below that, I find men and women to be indistinguishable in terms of what kind of beliefs and thoughts they will hold (gender-related issues aside).

But, it does seem that well-educated men are more likely to develop a hardline obsession with science and rationality. I think emotion and sentiment have a lot to do with it. It's easier for us to take that detached, analytic viewpoint.

Disclaimer: This is a big generalization, and there are many people to whom it does not apply, but I do believe it to hold in aggregate.
Was fail2ban even working? After a reformat, did you install fail2ban manually, or from a repo? Are you using syslog or rsyslog? Each's log format is slightly different, meaning you have to edit the filter to accomodate. The base install filter didn't even work correctly for me on a fresh CentOS re-image. Also, the latest version on the website is v0.8.7.1, but on CentOS epel it's v0.8.4.
The long-term solution is probably some kind of super-smartcard (essentially an HSM) which can put per-application logic inside the secure envelope. Things like rate limits on decryption requests, heuristics to require higher levels of authentication as transactions are more suspicious, etc.

Combine that with per-application virtualization and various forms of user authentication (other than passwords), and public key cryptography, and you could probably start to build substantially more secure services. Same stuff on clients and servers.

ARM's TrustZones are actually more interesting than TPMs on x86; you can essentially start the general purpose CPU as a trusted device and then partition off less-trusted pieces. If you're going to have a single processor, vs. a specialized security processor, this is probably how to do it, not the x86 + TPM + TXT way.

Probably all meaningless until there's a framework as simple as Ruby on Rails was vs. everything else in 2005, or php, which makes doing things securely the easy default.
Mat Lalonde (PhD Organic Chemist, Harvard) does a good job of dispelling the bullshit Paleo arguments. At the end of the day though, he still follows a generally Paleo diet.

One of his talks: http://vimeo.com/27570335
Water is a poison therefore a system of health you don't understand is bullshit, great logic.

I am not going to bother arguing since you want to lump everything together in your clinical trials. "Well gee, if healthy food is good for you, let's extract the chemical from it, inject it into our body and test it, if it is really healthy we will see good effects, otherwise it must be a placebo"

You appear to be using a pretty non-standard definition of "closure". Generally speaking (AFAIK), a closure is the function and its referencing environment (with the env potentially simplified to only those variables which occur free in the function). In both your examples `i` occurs free, so it would be part of the closure. Since `i` is global(ish) I guess an interpreter could potentially skip placing it in the closure as an optimization, but I'm not seeing any value to not considering it as part of the closure from a language-understanding standpoint.

As an aside...both of your examples have the same effect: logging "10" 10 times. Did you mean something like

for(var i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
(function (_i) {
setTimeout(function f() {
console.log(_i);
}, 1000);
})(i);
}

instead?

Some things do work and are not yet accepted in medicine. Herbal medicine etc.pp.

Often it's just hard to patent and/or isn't financially lucrative to get FDA approval.

Also lifestyle in general is terribly handled in medicine. MDs know nearly nothing about what matters and what they should recommend. They are decades behind the available evidence.
Because the OP was pointing to Sublime as an example of a tool that is available, and popular, cross-platform.
Maybe some timing attacks would be the closest thing to CPU cache based attack.
Yes, you can name a drug with bad side effects. FDA isn't 100% effective, my point is that the standards for herbal remedies are comparatively worse than those for "modern" drugs.

Kava has been linked to liver failure, Comfrey causes liver damage, Chaparral causes liver damage, and Pennyroyal is basically toxic. St John's Wort has so many interactions it's basically unsafe to take in conjunction with anything. On top of this, herbal medicines are often poorly-sourced, and substitutions are made overseas. The regulations just aren't good enough.

Then when you talk about the pull-out method of family planning, you say it's a good technique because you'll have kids. That's some impressive double-speak. Next you'll tell me that Caffeine is a good sleep aid because evolution wants you to be more productive.

The FDA's regulatory tools simply work better on "modern" drugs. Look at how Thalidomide was never approved for sale in the US, because the FDA said that more studies were needed. By comparison, "dietary supplements" can only be removed from the market if they show "significant or unreasonable risk". If those standards had been applied to Thalidomide, the human cost would have been terrible.

(Note: Apologies for the over-use of quote marks. "Modern" isn't quite the right term here, some of these drugs are quite old, but I'm not sure what is the right term.)

If there is an effect that's measurable above placebo we should absolutely find out what it is and why it works. Otherwise it's just like the rest of these things.

What Lua scripting means for Wikimedia and open source

In some sense, it "matters" as much as dozens of other "fringe" language projects (Ceylon, F#, Kotlin, etc.). It brings a different way of thinking to the table. If that way of thinking is one you like, great. If not, move onto the next one.

But beyond that, I think the whole reason Pharo matters is that its team is doggedly bringing Smalltalk out of the historical context. Pharo has libraries for things like XML, JSON, OAuth, Redis, and OpenID so that you can interact with other tools. It has support for command-line applications, comes with an easy-to-use C FFI, and sports a fast JIT so that it's usable for real applications. It has rewritten libraries for speed, breaking backwards compatibility where necessary, and has completely overhauled the UI, while keeping all the pieces that made Smalltalk great. So part of why Pharo matters is that it makes Smalltalk a real, modern language, that can trivially integrate with the massive ecosystem that is existing software. No longer is Smalltalk living in its own little world; it now plays well with others.

As for Smalltalk itself: it still has valuable lessons, even today. Smalltalk is the only system I know where I can trivially save the running app to disk and open that running app, complete with all of its state, on another system to debug what went wrong. It still has some of the best debugging and development tools of any environment I've used for any language. Smalltalk in general, and Pharo in particular, is still one of the most solidly turtles-all-the-way-down environments I have used in my life, where there's no meaningful distinction between your app, and the core system libraries.

Smalltalk may not be for you, but Pharo makes it a genuinely viable choice for real-world development.
The title itself says this is into.js ( the one you mention ) for bootstrap.
Hi all, I'm so surprised that this made HN front page, even though I thought Bootstro.js would be nice because I had a tough time looking for something like that.
I guess I rarely get a chance like this so I'm very excited and therefore would like to share here that I love HN so much. Actually there are two things that have changed my profession quite dramatically

1. HN, before HN, i.e about 3 years ago, I was with webmasterworld.com but somehow I didn't get much out of it. At HN i'm mostly just lurking but I learned so much from it
2. Coding-wise, Bootstrap made my life a hell lot easier since I'm basically so dumb at CSS. Bootstrap gave me a chance to execute my idea in a timeframe which otherwise would have taken me months, and getting bored of talking to my colleague CSS'er

Those 2 things have changed my career alot, believe it or not. I don't know what's the point of saying that but I'd like to express what I love & really appreciate.

At least one airline, Spirit Air, already does. I am sure more will follow this practice.
Exactly how conscious do you expect an animal to be following the step where a bolt is blasted into their skull to destroy their cerebrum? They are 'alive' from then only insofar as their brain stem is still intact. Practices do vary, but this is the most common way of slaughtering sheep and cattle. You would consider any human so damaged to be essentially dead, and this 'stunning' process takes seconds. The consideration of abuse should focus on the rest of the animal's life.

Regarding your second point, the issue we have with the slaughter of dogs is cultural, and has to do with how dogs are integrated into our society. It's not how intelligent we think they are, it's how we percieve them as members of the family. If pigs were the household pets of our time, they'd be perceived the same way, and the same applies to less intelligent creatures. It's a simple fact that we care for things which are close to us more than others, be this humans or other animals.

You said that modern medicine is poison if taken in high doses. I pointed out that anything is a poison in high doses.

You said that Ayurveda prefers herbs over 'poison' and lumped all modern medicine in with 'poison'. So I pointed out that this is nonsense too.

If 'Ayurveda' makes these claims, then I'm sorry but it's full of bullshit.

I'm sorry if this offends you, but it really is that simple. Maybe there are other parts of what it teaches that are less fallacious, but what you've said here so far is demonstrably false.
For what it's worth, U.S. World & News Report annualy assembles a panel of diet and health experts (http://health.usnews.com/best-diet/experts) to judge a variety diets. In 2011 and 2012, the paleo diet ranked as the worst. The criteria were health, weight-loss, and ease of following. In terms of nutrition, safety, rating for diabetes, and rating for heart health, it scored a 2/5, 2.3/5, 2.1/5, and 2/5 respectively.

Not only that. Govt also at some point figured out that if it use private companies to do the tracking for them, they can bypass all kinds of "nasty" constitutional barriers.

The JOBS Act actually raises the crowdfunded investment limits for companies that submit to an audit. And it's worth mentioning that Europeans can make these sorts of investments already, they don't have our "accredited investor" restrictions. They seem to do all right.

The idea that plants can always be reduced to merely one of their components is an oversimplification. Ask anyone who smokes marijuana why different 'strains' of the plant have different effects, or why Marinol (the pharmaceutical name for THC) is perhaps more dangerous and less helpful or pleasant than the complex cocktail of cannabanoids in their natural delivery[1]. It's also why I'll drink green tea over taking green tea extract any day.

Ah I see your point.
I have some time tomorrow (bt 12-18 hrs from now) so will see what I can find specifically regarding this if you'd care to check back here,

In the meantime here's some science of atherosclerosis -

high glycemic index foods - scrap that - glucose and fructose in general is are reactive molecules - they are often drawn as a 6-carbon circle in organic chem but are actually moving in and out of a ionically bonded circle and a linear structure which is very reactive.

It is relatively well understood that the 6 carbon carbohydrates are reactive enough to be capable of causing endothelial damage which can set off the inflammatory cascade that leads to atherosclerosis and high LDL levels will further exacerbate the problem.

Come to think of it, maybe this answers your question?
I don't see what atherosclerosis in mummies from post-neolithic cultures has to do with the paleo diet.

> I understand your reaction against GP's opinion that he noticed more women in his circles are susceptible to this.

Yeah, I am the GP though.

I cede that I'm always very skeptical about this "X are just wired for Y" stuff. Historically, this has always been used to discriminate against groups of people, and also historically these assertions have so far always turned out false. This is why I'm assuming a cultural background to this problem, not a physiological one. Just because something happens a lot doesn't mean the reasons are not cultural.

> I think there is self-fulfilling circular dependency between the idea that women are wired to be irrational and girl acting that way because the society already has that belief.

I agree absolutely.
My objection to this article is that it's posing a false dichotomy. Choosing our diet based purely on good solid science is not an option, because our scientific knowledge is still too limited. Any honest scientists will admit there's still a lot of complexity we don't fully understand. Which is precisely why there's so much exciting research going on right now (example: https://twitter.com/whsource)

Wherever we have solid evidence it absolutely needs to win out. But that's not the issue here. What we have here is a lot of fuzzy, plausible ideas that are extremely difficult to prove via experiment.

If you want to say categorically that "the paleo diet" (or almost any other) is good or bad, then you need to do a gigantic, long-term, prospective, randomized study of actual human beings. Which is not practical.

So we're left doing the best we can. We rely on heuristics to fill in the gaps. Eating the same things that your ancestors ate is not a bad start. (Granted, that's not necessarily "paleo").
No, push harder on the functional improvements.

For sites like yours, you want users to sign up, not to spend all day on site. Stickiness is important, but your priority has to be customer acquisition, and for that, the design is fine.

That then depends on your definition of success. Which I still would want you to provide.

Plus, I think terms of "success" with respect to a /nation/ is slightly skewed when compared to the "success" of genetics or species. I don't think that is an accurate cross-comparison.
Show Me the Money: Which Mobile Apps are Profitable for Developers?
Then when you talk about the pull-out method of family planning, you say it's a good technique because you'll have kids. That's some impressive double-speak. Next you'll tell me that Caffeine is a good sleep aid because evolution wants you to be more productive.

I didn't phrase it clear enough, I admit, but what I meant is only that avoiding contraceptive pills would free you from the exposure to the pretty bad side effect they turned out to have even though they were supposedly well tested. I just used it as an illustration of my point that being a bit sceptical towards the very new lifestyle approaches is not a bad rule of thumb in abscence of other considerations.

I also of course agree herbs can have serious side effects. You really seem to want to turn it into an X vs Y thing where there has to be one winner. I just want to say that despite all the bad press science seems to indicate using herbs in some particular situations in particular ways might be very beneficial.

Just because current conventional medicine isn't entirely evidence-based does not excuse the claims of CAM from the requirement for evidence.

Note that when an MD gives this statement: "take these antibiotics, then get some bed rest and take plenty of fluids", 2/3rds of the advice given is likely not based on evidence, yet there is a huge difference between that and a recommendation not based on any evidence at all.
Wouldn't it be more efficient to extract just the "working directory" without all the .git mess? That is if github supports git archive.
I have a different amount of anecdotal evidence however, where the majority of my friends have gone out and bought a new 3DS (including multiple co-workers, my sister, her husband, myself, several little cousins of mine...). We all have smartphones: some of us have top-end ones. Some of us have tablets as well. But none of us like the gaming experience of it, and have gone out to get a 3DS... and some have even gotten a PS Vita.

So our personal experiences differ. What else can we go on? If we look at historical sales... then the 3DS is selling exceptionally well right now. And Pokemon White 2 / Black 2 have a combined sales of 7.5 million: consistent with previous "partial remake titles" like Pokemon Yellow, Crystal, or Emerald. (remake titles always have fewer sales... but White2 / Black2 came out in 2012, and are thus a better test of the market today)

It took 5 years for the Gameboy Advance to reach 30 million sales. It only took 2 years for the 3DS to reach 30 million. The handheld gaming market has not shrunk. If anything, the 3DS is doing better today than its Gameboy predecessors.

If the iPhone / Android effected handheld sales... you'd think it have done it by now. Or at very least, you'd expect it to negatively effect the 3DS's sales. Why then is the 3DS selling better today than its previous incarnations?

As an FWI, the 3DS was launched in 2011, well after the iPhone and around the same time as the 2nd generation iPad.
The only problem I have with that is that "modern medicine has been horrible to me" doesn't (if thinking rationally rather than emotionally) automatically lead me to thinking "therefore this other stuff must be better".

I guess that's why I find it so hard to understand.
