Wow this really takes me back. Another beta vet here, I was the CEO of the corp that was suppling m0o with ships and weaponry back in the early game. We were a small corp with a large footprint in the game at the time so we were able to keep our arrangements m0o under wraps most of the time.

One of the reasons they were down there in FA was to secure some nullsec mining areas so we could produce battleships for them. This was before any battleships existed in the game. Our primary manufacturing system at that time was in a Gallente system Gisleres. When we built the first battleship for m0o it caused a bit of an uproar in our neck of the woods since j0rt was hanging out for a couple days, we had to move the transaction away from the station to avoid the ties from becoming known. We do know however that we handed over the first battleship in the game to them.

M0o was only a handful of pilots, but they had a huge impact on the game, holding entire regions hostage and they caused the only ever rollback in the game's history, as well as direct GM intervention with in game ships. I am quite proud to be apart of some of those historical events in EVE's distant past even if it was from the shadows.
I'm a little surprised the authorities aren't asking everyone who was there to come forward to be interviewed about anything they may have seen. I just assumed that was SOP, but I guess I was wrong.

EDIT- they just did so in the press conference, at least everyone who was in a particular location.

oDesk does something similar, but something I like about their approach, is that they include the message in the email.

There is a "Click to reply" button, but you can just reply to the email and it will reply to the message. Only benefit I noticed to actually using the oDesk interface to reply, is that any blank lines in your email response is omitted, while doing it in the oDesk interface keeps your formatting.

Closer to Democrats than your average "modern" Republican who believes in morals-based law, huge military, aggressive military actions, continuation of victimless crime, etc. It's the mouth breathing idiot Republicans that only listen to Rush Limbaugh and such.

That might not be the majority but it's certainly the loudest group.

It pays to have experience with hostile work environments where harassment and threats is an issue before you start work. If you get stuck in one of these, try to learn from it and make the best of it. Had lots of friends who accepted a job where they were thrust immediately into the "hot seat". It's an aspect of a job that they don't really teach in school.
The judicial concerns that the OP raises are not trivial, however, I do wonder if her attempt to tie them to a critique of the feminism movement is just a bit of a non sequitur.

The judicial problems here are orthogonal to the aims of feminism, because they originate more directly from how difficult it is for schools to act as extra-judicial bodies and work within the framework of student privacy rights. At some schools, these adjudication processes deal with victims quite badly:

http://www.publicintegrity.org/accountability/education/sexu...

This is not to trivialize what happened to the OP's son. But to cast aspersions on feminism seems to be missing the bigger point: academic bureaucracies are not very good at handling these types of cases, which are mishandled quite often by actual judicial systems.

The problem here is that they want this at all, this is a typical first step for introducing censorship.

Real life example from Norway:

1: Police wanted/suggested a filter to stop child porn (think of the children, etc)

2: This filter is then implemented by the ISP`s that wants to use it.

3: Police/Government suggests/mentions that it should be required for all ISP`s.

4: Government starts talking about implementing filter for stopping sites that "can be bad"(read: piracy sites)

(what will happen in the future, at least as i suspect it)

The child porn filter will be forced upon all ISP`s, it will be changed to also block other sites that the government/police thinks that should be blocked.

Now this filter is as of today easy to go around by simply using other DNS servers, but the problem is that censorship is wanted at all. I will not be surprised if the next step is to put the filter on a lower level on the network stack. And even in the long term, forbid the use of TOR/Freenet etc.

Absolutely. Thing is that those two "buts" greatly expand the scenarios of information sharing relative to what you wrote. If you would have written your comment like this:

"""
CISPA allows for the sharing of information that the company doing the sharing can "in good faith" believe to be "cyber threat intelligence", which is defined as:

(i) Information pertaining to a vulnerability

(ii) Information pertaining to a threat to the integrity, confidentiality, or availability of a system or network or any info stored or transiting one

(iii) Information pertaining to efforts to deny access

(iv) Information pertaining to efforts to gain unauthorized access (with the exception that violations of consumer terms of service are not covered by CISPA)

So indeed your scenario of sharing health records may be a valid concern."""

Then I would have wholeheartedly agreed with it.
If possible, you, the provider, can claim zero knowledge and walk away free.

For instance, SpiderOak makes a point of not knowing what their clients store on their servers, because all encryption happens on the client side, and the key never reaches the server side.

No. Use homebrew for system packages and use pip to install python packages. It's much more flexible and doesn't rely on package managers keeping up with releases.

In the real world, a typical pip requirements.txt file will have a mix of package names (which pip looks for and downloads from an index like pypi), git repo urls (eggs installed directly from a git server, eg from github) and bleeding edge track the latest changes -e git-repo#egg=eggname urls. That you can switch between these with ease is important, eg to switch to using your fork of some package rather than the last official release.

> And this is why vigilante justice sucks.

a) I can't speak for 4chan, but the Reddit thread has been full of counterarguments, doubts, discussions of likely innocence as well as guilt. Some of the most upvoted threads are all about Devil's Advocacy and finding evidence of innocence:
http://www.reddit.com/r/findbostonbombers/comments/1cjc30/de...
With that, similar threads, the rules imposed, it's following exactly the textbook approach to avoid groupthink.

b) Meanwhile, we have the case studies of Richard Jewell, Steven Hatfill, the Central Park Five, among others. Those were not cases of "vigilante justice." Those happened because no one bothered to check the math of the authorities.

The internet can be an unruly mob, sure, but it's simply inaccurate to claim the internet can ONLY be an unruly mob. Or why are any of us even here?

But once you know the eigenvectors the eigenvalues (and hence their distribution) are determined, again in the original space.

On the other hand if you're talking about the eigenvalues for the whitened data they're all 1.

So I'm still not seeing what whitening adds to PCA.

Just rescaling each dimension of the original space so that all dimensions have unit variance, without doing any rotations, may change things, but I don't think that's what is usually called whitening (according to Wikipedia).

Yes, of course you will--because you've normalized the data. If you had run PCA on just ingredients instead of on the normalized ingredients, I would imagine the results would be different. I can't verify since I don't have matlab on this computer, but doing PCA on raw data with one set of units will produce a different PCA doing it on data with another set of units.

As a great practical guide to reading and applying body language, I'd recommend "What everybody is saying" by Dave Navarro. Guy used to do body language analysis for the FBI afaik, and then wrote a book about it.

http://www.amazon.com/What-Every-BODY-Saying-Speed-Reading/d...

Concerning the body language tips the article recomends, I think everyone except arms crossed behind head is covered for in the book. Arm akimbo, crossed legs, etc.

As a personal tip, I'd give the thumbs up. No, like actually stretch your thumbs out when you walk around or talk to people, and leave them out of your pockets. It's ok to put the rest of the hand in, but the thumbs stay out.

Ahh, and if you're arguing, even if you want to, don't start undressing yourself, no matter how angry you are. 2 people arguing and taking jackets and shirts off usually means business you don't want to be part of neccesairily.

Everybody's saying contact your senator. Call them, write them a letter... Is the problem the disconnect between the elected officials and the public? If so, can we make the communication a bit easier? My grandparents write me letters. I barely use my phone to call.

It seems to me that if you told me that you're running for the House in my district and you'll answer my questions on 8thdistrictva.com or whatever, I would completely believe you're better than the other guy. You might listen to me.

Has anybody tried to do this? To be fair I've barely looked at my representative's web page. But this seems much better than calling or writing a letter. I guess you could email them, but every standard means of communication I just imagine an office full of overcaffeinated interns skimming the message for keywords and picking the closest automatic reply. Most of the time, I'd just want to communicate a simple feeling (eg I don't like this bill) and I'd be okay with them looking at a graph of the poll results.

Get off my App Store.

All of you vultures with your paid and "incentivized" marketing can just leave. Go "solve" a problem that doesn't cause a myriad problems for the victims. Instead of making golden crumbs from rich app developers at the expense of poor app developers - instead of running up the score for scumbags and becoming scummy in the process, make something that helps people do something worthwhile in the world.

Seriously, get out. You are bad people running these kind of companies, or you are delusional to not understand how the things you do are bad. You are so infatuated with success or entrepreneurship or hacking or whatever, that you lost sight of what it means to be human and part of society.

Apple's response to App Gratis is another reason why the App Store is a good market for honest, hard-working people. Even if the walls around the garden seem a little imposing sometimes, at least scumbags can be kicked out. It's not like the internet where malware and dishonesty flood over you if you venture out of the well-trodden nodes.
Yes, you get different results if you don't normalize. My point was, I don't see why "you have to trivially normalize your data first" is a meaningful argument against anything.
Where's the "mob justice" part? Seems more like crowdsourced investigation. The crowd came up with a theory, that theory was sent to the authorities, and the suspect went to the police preemptively.
You're right, I misread your post.

I think what happens is that the deeper you go into the left, if you are of a generally radical anti-mainstream bent like I was entering school, you're attracted to leftist ideology because of the fairness aspect of the politics. It's a great time to read Howard Zinn and get pissed off about government, but I think as people who still hold that anti-government bent get older, they do tend to lean Libertarian. I know lots of ex-punks that are hard paleoconservatives now.

I went to all the left-wing anticapitalist protests and was routinely mistreated and violated by police and government. While my politics have moved center, I still maintain that distrust of the system because I know when you are outside of it, you're going to get mowed down. As I've gotten older, I care less about unfairness and more about interference. I've found unfairness can be overcome while interference cannot.

In short, I've found that while I've pretty much abandoned any desire to become a communist hobo, I still have a starting point of extreme suspicion and distaste for central authority.
Yup. Having your future almost destroyed because of a lying, bitter ex-girlfriend and not being given proper due process or resources is totally a first world problem. You nailed it.

It is somewhat similar. The procedure I describe is normalizing (using z-scores instead of raw data) the data. The difference, as far as I can tell, is that normalizing retains the correlation structure of the data, while whitening uncorrelates the observations.

Even with those counterarguments and discussion, there is something to be said for the unfairness of publicly discussing whether or not this kid has anything to do with the case. For a long time now this event will be associated with his name.

Even if 99 comments out of 100 on Reddit or whatever other forum are doubtful, there is still the fact that his name has been publicized incorrectly - which would not have happened in the absence of a public witch hunt.

Where's the "vigilante justice" you speak of? I see crowdsourced investigation and a newspaper that, more or less, made something up (that the feds seek the two men).
OP said "Cheerleading - Overt sexualisation of teenaged and pre-teen girls" like it's per definition. Seriosly, there is no overt sexualization in dancing or performing acrobatics only because she wears a skirt. Maybe out of the US (I'm not American too), as you imply, cheerleaders are more of a porn fantasy girl stereotype because there is less of them in sports and they know them only from porn and comedies? I don't know. To me it sounded like it's op's imagination playing a role here.

BTW none of my text search results for 'cheerleader' alone show anything even remotely erotic, and google knows I'm not a prude. When you attach 'hot' or 'sexy' to it and look at images, they won't be much different to when you attach these words to 'secretary', while first result for secretary is a movie about a stereotypically sexist portrayal of this job position with high-heeled legs on the poster.
