Journals are typically interested in publishing novel results. Why would it be a problem if studies which find that a drug works as expected are not published, as long as they are still submitted to the FDA and assessed there?
It's a bit extreme to say that it "exists for the sole purpose" of that, since if you look at the post categories, the Facebook-related material only encompasses a small portion of the total posts made.

Regardless of the author's bias towards Facebook, it's possible that they are telling the truth and wall posts that they "deleted" were suddenly made available again due to a flag being unset in the backend or something similar. This is something to keep in mind when creating content on Facebook.

This is reasonably clever, but how do you get a full disk mirror from a server you can't get into without powering off, if you do power off, the amount of time the system is down is a tipoff to the target as to what's going on.

Assuming however it could somehow be pulled off; I guess potential ways to mitigate would be to keep a copy of the exact hardware characteristics of the system you originally have, kernel log on bootup, precise size of disks, chipsets of all the various controllers and compare when the system reboots. It would however be possible though extremely hard to get an exact duplicate of all of these at the virtualisation layer level.

You could call the virtualisation layer in the cpu requesting access to virtualise a subsystem, clock the data bus speeds... There should be some overhead from virtualisation that wasn't there when dedicated...

It's an interesting problem. I'll think more about it.

As an Italian who was born and raised in Rome, I can attest the veracity of the article. It is in fact an habit so entrenched in our culture that when I first saw some movie joking about this, I couldn't understand what the fuss was about. Does not everyone gesticulate when he speaks? Yeah, but up to a point.
Now I recognize that when it comes to talking we are unique in that it seems like words aren't enough to convey a message, hence the numerous gestures. Since when I became aware of this I also learned that it's actually pretty easy to educate oneself no to resort to gestures to speak his mind, even though they're so part of the language that cannot be completely eliminated. I guess that if one were to quickly spot an Italian his or her hands would be the telltale sign.

of course, but once you get to a point 50 minutes out of every hour is a commercial, and only 10 minutes is an actual TV show... you start to see a breakdown in the whole business model. Perhaps Google has reached the point where they will soon start experiencing a breakdown that forces them to show more 'content' and less 'ads'. However since the general public cant easily tell what links are paid and what are true searches anymore (and perhaps they dont really even care), maybe this business model will go on for a long time.

"Will employers care if I have Math/Econ degree instead of a CS one?" <<< Unless you are pursuing a specific area in computer science then its not necessary to do computer science.These days, certain employers don't look for specific degrees...But if you have a mathematically intense degree, employers will be more flexible in selecting you for assessment/interview.

A computer science degree is more about understanding computers on a theoretical computational level.Computer science is a "subset" of mathematics.I currently finished my second year in CS and from what I've learned, its all about self initiation and how far you want to "dig deep" in this field.

Either way you will gain useful knowledge that can be applied in what ever you want to do.
It’s unnatural for most any human to be expected to sit and focus on tedious crap for hours on end, especially children.

We live in one of the top school districts in Texas, and three years ago took our two boys out to homeschool them. No religious motivations, just got fed up with the bullshit custom we continue to call “education” in this culture.

They are learning, thriving, curious, creative and happier than ever.
It's surprising you don't see the contradiction in saying that the open network of the internet is vastly different than our modern walled gardens, but then saying that our open real-world is comparable to the same walled gardens.

Also, I don't give much credibility to arguments that are based off an assertion like "I have no evidence, but...well, why wouldn't you?"

Zynga Confirms Xbox Head Don Mattrick as New CEO, Taking Over From Mark Pincus
Facebook has value, but no matter what your privacy settings are set to, no matter what you delete, always assume that anything you write or do on Facebook - in any context - will be embarrassingly public. 1) Because it will and 2) because it just makes life easier.

When my wife and I were first dating, for religious and cultural reasons her parents didn't know. Her parents are conservative Muslims and mine conservative Christians. She had a picture of the two of us as her profile picture, and it was set to private (that existed once). More importantly in the picture she wasn't wearing the hijab (the head scarf).

One day Facebook removed the ability to have private profile pictures - automatically converting every profile picture to public. Her sister saw the picture and long story short that was the last time she talked to her parents. That was 2+ years ago. Facebook can't be blamed for the cultural and relationship issues at play here, but they can be blamed for how they went about this. And we can be blamed for trusting them.

I still use facebook. I don't blame them for trying new things, pushing the boundaries, etc. I have however learned that no matter what that data isn't mine. It's facebooks. And whenever facebook decides to innovate they will do whatever they want with their data to try doing it.

As much as I can understand you being upset that Chrome shows a warning for your site, I don't think that the approach they are using is unreasonable.

I'd take bets that those criteria show a correlation to phishy sites. Especially if you combine those metrics together.

Is it perfect? No. Does it produce false positives? Yes. Is it beneficial on average? I think so.

PS: Since you have found the relevant file in the open source project (or 'kiddie playground' - as you like to call it), why don't you supply a superior implementation with less "foolish" measures?
this remains problematic because the reason they have trouble attracting advertisers is that the brands don't want to be associated with 4chan. So retargeting would be okay, until some submits a screenshot to the Consumerist showing a BMW ad 40 px away from a picture of a decapitated cat.

Doesn't matter that the person who submitted it had just googled 'San Francisco BMW dealership'

Last I saw cassandra and pgsql were pretty close to even on single systems, but you can push as many shards in a cassandra cluster as you want. Where are you getting 5% from? Do you mean to imply sql is typically 20x faster than NoSQL on comparable hardware prior to clustering?

>Every chemical (e.g. anything) you ingest has a certain effect on your body. I feel that with some drugs (marijuana, cocaine, etc.), there is a higher probability of a long-term negative effect.

This is not apathy, this is being cautious or heedful to the possible damage to your body. I am quite sure there is enough evidence that trying psilocybin or marijuana ONCE is not going to damage your body in the long term. So considering that, if you dont go ahead and try even once, there has to be some element of fear in there.

I've had the same thing happen, so it's true. I wiped my profile clean some years back, yet information slowly returns in phases. I don't know if they do it on purpose and are trying to be as subtle as possible, or if they're somehow unintentionally forgetting deletes. Either way it's annoying to repeatedly delete stuff.

Yes. Lets apply this everywhere. Lets electrocute folks based on "heuristics" because there are no other way to find out "bad guys".

It is nice to act as an arbiter and spout philosophy isn't it?

If you really do think that there is no other better way then I guess there is no more point arguing about this.
I've always found that attitude of not promoting your own stuff annoying. If you took the time to write it and think about it, you should be proud of it! If you're just spamming, people will see it and vote accordingly.
Please consider not doing that on public roads. The rest of us are out there too.

(that said, I bet it works great. A movie in the mirror is still a movie)
Looks like an excellent first step to me. I've been waiting for hardware along these lines for years, and am glad to see some progress is finally being made.
What's funny is how different using Consumer Reports online experience is. What? There's no free content? I have to pay a monthly fee to read content and it's not trivial. Best investment I ever made. Especially when buying new appliances. Ha.. It's kind of pathetic that I flinched at spending a few bucks a month for good content.

If you're getting information for free your information likely has a cost you're just paying for it in an obfuscated way in the form of higher margins when you shop at a place that advertises heavily.

If you ever look at Hulbert's Financial digest, which tracks the total return of investment letters you'll see that the ones that do well are $120/year. Oh yeah, you have to pay for the digest which will tell you which newsletter performs the best and that isn't cheap either.

Of course free investment advice is available everywhere online and usually makes a good contra-indicator. If I see a hype filled story show up in the freebie investment news it usually means the stock is about to take a short term down turn.

Well, based on my experience with recruiters they don't even go through the hassle of even reading your resume.
I wonder if this is the case because those wall posts aren't specifically yours. You posted those onto another user's timeline, and thus it's probably not within your power to delete them. I'm not saying that this is the right thing to do, but it fits with the available data. If you removed all your photos and they're still gone, but wall posts are still there, it's an issue with how Facebook view data ownership. If you delete status updates or relationships, work etc, they stay gone too I imagine.
From what I understand Snowden's father is very eager to get him back to the US. As long as he has "iron clad assurances of his constitutional rights", which is kind of silly. This is an incredibly high profile case and the Justice Dept doesn't want to win this one by cheating. They take pride in their work as investigators and prosecutors, they will want this case to be nice and fair. Despite what the movies have lead use to believe we aren't going to send Jason Bourne to assassinate him in the snow.

Snowden is a very interesting case. On one hand, he seems to have an idealistic view of his actions. He sincerely believes that he did the right thing. On the other hand, he now has what most 29 yr olds would give anything for: international fame. The world is tracking his every move, people are starting to venerate him...I kind of trust that his motives were pure but this is one hell of a side benefit.

Does anyone remember when Kanye West looked into the camera and said "George Bush does not care about black people"? I think that he and Snowden are linked because they both felt very strongly about an issue, but couldn't or didn't pursue recourse through the proper channels. Anyone who saw Kanye's face before he made his statement could see the brew of fear and nervousness inside of him, because deep down he knew that his next action probably wasn't the right thing to do. I would guess that Snowden went through similar emotions. He absolutely had to do what he thought was right, but inside he knew that there was probably a better way.

Snowden isn't an agent of espionage or a traitor. He is a criminal, he clearly broke the law. The perceived Constitutionality of the NSA programs is irrelevant. The Constitution itself says clearly who is in charge of interpreting the Constitution. He doesn't get a pass based on his beliefs or because of our beliefs.

I hope he comes home and faces a trial. If he gets an OJ level superstar legal team he has a good chance of being found not guilty. If he loses he's facing around 10 yrs in a lower security prison. The show trial and national debate he'll spark will probably be more than worth it.
What kind of friends are they, that don't notice and/or care to invite people except through Facebook?

Also, birthdays? Aren't those the sorts of things you find out about once per friend and then add to your own contacts? I've never had a Facebook account, but that's not a problem I've ever experienced.

Granted, I don't automatically know the birthday of every single person I meet or even get a number/email from. But I would go so far as to call that a feature, and because of that, the birthday notifications I do get are worth getting.
How Google pulled the plug on the public Jabber Network
I also run a pretty tight ship on Facebook. Only closest friends and family (13 people in total), visibility to friends only and such things.

Father created Facebook account a week ago to keep up with our favourite sports team. I sent him a friend request but he managed to hide it and didn't find it later. Yesterday he received an email saying something in this style: Do you know these people? A list with 13 people was underneath it and these 13 people were my friends.

Thankfully he knows most of them so it didn't get awkward but still a massive, massive worry for me.

Because it's bad both for science and for the public interest to keep this data secret. Also, many of the studies that have been suppressed do not "find that a drug works as expected".

Nobody's saying that journals have to publish every study, just that the data should be available for review. That's so bedrock a principle of science that it's hard to imagine a credible argument against it.

I think they tried to set this up once, but the USPS is giving a partnership with them the cold shoulder...

http://www.theverge.com/2013/2/28/4039990/the-postal-service...

"At the time of its announcement, Outbox suggested it had reached an agreement with the USPS to allow it to intercept mail from ever being delivered to your home, and that it would instead be delivered to its warehouse. This would have made the service less wasteful, to be sure. From its description of the service today, that no longer appears to be the case, and Outbox employs its own "postmen" to pick up already delivered mail from your home mailbox."

Teachers used to be respected , but today you cant count on parent supports for the child education.

If the child has bad grades, it is because of the teacher , if the child cannot behave , it is the teacher's fault.

But for not one second parents question their parenting, Teachers get harassed , punched and even sued by parents when these teachers just try to do their job.

With parents like that ,well , these children will never behave like adults, since their parents are not either.
