It's a perfectly accurate statement. If a tuple is homogeneous, it's only because all of its slots happen to be for objects of the same type (e.g. a row of a database table all of whose columns are integers, or the arguments of a function which takes 3 integers as input). In contrast, homogeneous lists are the norm (other than mixing None with non-None values). When was the last time you needed a heterogeneous list?
I took a social contract theory class from Prof. Gendler. She was phenomenal. She enjoyed teaching the material so much that she seemed to smile for the duration of the class. When we would get frustrated as we struggled through some concept she was always patient and would joke that she had a bit of an advantage because Nozick was her phd advisor and "she learned Rawls from Rawls."

There is a video interview where she discusses aliefs here: http://bloggingheads.tv/videos/2115
Being a pretty important company, there are likely business articles that include references to Boeing daily. And given that this was in today's print edition of the NY Times, no, unless the crash was scheduled in advance it isn't a "spin" (not sure how a story about titanium would be a PR piece for a jet coming in too low)
He should try Edge animate, clearly Flash Successor. The UI looks more like After FX which could be a bonus if your brother later jumps into video. (and Edge animate is free)
There is no argument with nature. Only nature.
I think it still makes sense for two reasons:

1) As a platform Flash may yet survive the web, Adobe has real potential transforming it into a publishing tool rather than publishing + consumption.

2) Adobe themselves are likely to keep their throne in the tools scenario and they probably won't deviate far from the methods they and Macromedia have spent 2 decades discovering / implementing / selling / training people to understand in Flash.

The best although short-lived reason is Flash is a very rewarding platform to work on, there are eleventy billion tutorials and your brother will probably have some simple animations working on day one and that sense of accomplishment is invaluable.
Can you explain what you think the drafters were thinking about when they added a prohibition against unreasonable searches and seizures? If the police can use evidence gained from unreasonable searches and seizures, why would anyone care about prohibiting them? If the government (say government based overseas to which your colnies owe allegiance) can "take your stuff" and convert it for their own ends (or perhaps destroy it), what good will a prohibition on "unreasonable searches and seizures" do you? After they've got your stuff and can use it however they wish (or destroy it), it's too late. The damage is done. The fact the search and seizure was unreasonable does you little good.

Is it the searches and seizures themselves that were undesired by the drafters? Or does it have something to do with what's taken and what happens to it afterwards?
Tools For Treason
I also disagree with his premise that the data is too big for innocents to be caught in a dragnet. Has he never seen a heat map or a histogram? There are ways to characterize big data that can lead to false positives in the analysis.

Additionally, an easy abuse of the system would be to look for people doing embarrassing things and link it to those people for later political blackmail or other neutralization. We don't have evidence that this has occurred, but I think it was indicated that the audit trails and other civil liberties protections were not implemented well in these systems.
Perhaps someone could comment on simulation software, particularly on the simple/beginner side of things?

For instance, recently I got some supercapacitors and had a few ideas for a simple circuit (consisting of resistors, diodes and capacitors). I did an EE unit when I was at school a long time ago but wanted to get a better understanding of how my circuit would behave, particularly voltage levels and discharge rates over time.

I was expecting there would be some software which would allow me to draw a simple circuit, specify input voltages and press 'play', allowing me to see how the circuit acted as a live simulation and see charts of voltage at particular nodes over time.

However, despite googling around, I couldnt find such software geared towards visualisation of simple analog circuits...

Happy to look at OSS or propriety software, I was expecting to find something used in academia but no such luck.

Any recommendations?
That's a pretty legitimate question. At that time, LED TVs were starting to be marketed pretty heavily. I myself didn't understand what an LED TV was. Turns out it's an LCD but with an LED backlight, so it runs cooler and uses less electricity.

The question isn't really the difference between LED and LCD, it's the difference between an LCD TV and an LCD TV with an LED backlight.

> Seems to me that Windows RT could run on any kernel or VM

It's pretty heavily tied to Win32 and COM.

I think the way you're talking about it is a little weird though. Would you criticize Android, for example, for having a Unix-like system underneath? I mean, 'cause Unix is like.. old, and stuff. </snark> Stuff simply being old isn't really a compelling reason to discard it. I'd say NT especially is mostly on the right track in terms of being a modern kernel. Not without its warts but it doesn't deserve comparison with DOS or 9x. COM has some good ideas at its core too.

And while almost all real numbers aren't computable (by the argument in the article), essentially every number you'd ever stumble upon in a math class is.

Not every number though. It turns out that there are numbers that are describable but not computable.

What is the difference? Well here's an example. A Chaitin omega number is the probability that a valid program randomly constructed according to a specific set of rules will eventually halt. It is describable - indeed I just described it. Yet Chaitin has proven that an algorithm to compute it will lead to an algorithm that solves the halting problem, so it cannot be computable.

So there you have it. A class of perfectly describable numbers that are not computable. Indeed it can be proven that we cannot know more than a fixed number of digits for any particular one without increasing the size of our axiom system.
Not true since January. Part of a class-action settlement with Visa and MasterCard allows merchants to add a surcharge of up to 4% for paying with credit cards. The Dodd-Frank bill in 2010 banned prohibitions on the other terminology for the same thing -- cash discount. Cash discounts, credit surcharges, and minimums to pay with credit as low as $10 are all currently legal, and old merchant account agreement terms that prohibited them are void or unenforceable.

No, spamizbad is correct that wahnfrieden's comment was insightful. List and tuple have totally different semantics; they also happen to differ in mutability which just confuses the issue unfortunately.
You may be correct if getting asylum was the only purpose of the spray and pray request. To me, it seems to have filled another purpose also, to show the people of the requested countries where their governments stand. For example, the French government's come under quite heavy fire for their handling of the situation.

Yes and no.

His statement is correct in a historical perspective that Walter Cronkite and the local newspaper had little interest in covering these movements (or at least not in a sympathetic or fair light).

His statement is humorous, as you point out, when used as a leg of his argument that bookstores are still needed for these social reasons.
Running Ubuntu in a VM, I've been unable to update to 13.04 due to them dropping Unity2D. My VM doesn't have enough video memory to run Unity 3D, and that's not going to be changing anytime soon, so I'm stuck on an old version.

I don't think that captures it. If I read a story and cry for some character in it, that's not subconscious.

In many cases this does seem to be true.

Although....In some instances, when your conscious mind is in conflict with itself, it seems an "alief" could be based in consciousness.

Using Wikipedia's given example; I would argue that when you're trying to decide whether standing on a balcony is safe the decision is very much based on conscious thought.(e.g. what height am I at, is there a railing, do I have enemies here(lol(lolnestedparenthesis)), am I inebriated)

I think this term is particularly interesting when applied to issues based on morality.

When you're deciding whether a woman has the right to abort her child, is the small nagging doubt considered alief? I don't mean to bring politics into this; in fact I chose this point because I thought it wouldn't be a major point of contention(compared to some others).

I am just trying to say that almost every decision that we make in our lives has an alternate possibility, the merit(or perceived merit) for which is oftentimes enough for a seed of doubt to take root in our own decision on the matter.

I find it curious that so many people have such strict convictions on controversial issues, whereas I personally change my position on them reasonably frequently. Perhaps this lack of a constant viewpoint on controversial issues is because I haven't fully defined myself, in which case I hope to do so soon.
In fairness, I don't think that's Simon's point. I think his point is, the government should be allowed to do things like they did on 'The Wire' as long as there is due process, i.e. independent oversight, transparent criteria, ability to change the criteria through a democratic process. And yeah, we did ask for it because we knew about AT&T secret rooms and there was no outrage. Until we demand public hearings about exactly what is going on and what constitutes due process we're still asking for it.
FDR tried it directly.

Other than that, the number has fluctuated from five to ten, and there admittedly hasn't been overt court packing, though congress did drop the number from 10 to 7 in 1866 to avoid andrew johnson from naming any supreme court justices since he was about to be impeached.

Past that, the main reason they haven't is due to the approval rating of the supreme court being so high. Nowadays, there are recent rumblings about packing again, since the supreme court's approval rating has dropped.

Given the politics of today's congress, I wouldn't be shocked to see it happen.

"A common misconception is that an analyst must review the content of communications between people in order to establish a link between them. In fact, an NSA analyst would regard a person's association and the persistence of that association with other persons as being of greater relevance to a determination of whether the person is a member of a Community of Interest than the actual words used in a series of communcations." - J. Kirk Wiebe, former NSA employee in his sworn Declaration in Jewel v. NSA, September 28, 2012
https://www.eff.org/sites/default/files/filenode/wiebedeclar...

I think people fail to realise that the "metadata" would actually be the "damning evidence" that innocent citizens should fear, not the content of their communications. It's like a nationwide pen register. But no one needs to be identified as a suspect (that deserves to have her call records inspected). Everyone is a suspect, by default. They have all call records for every American. Crazy.
Lefthanders like me need an inverse Colemak to remain effective, given that many of the most used letters are on a QWERTY keyboard on my left hand (while with Colemak e.g. the E has moved to the right). Does an inverse Colemak exist?
As a member of the Amateur Radio Emergency Services [1], I sometimes question the need for such given modern, reliable digital radio available to government agencies. Then something like this happens. Still, a backup was made available, and what would the alternative be? Stick a ham in every cop car? (It's my understanding that it has been done.)

In the end, though, Detroit had a backup system but no one tested it despite a maintenance contract? How many other systems does Motorola have out there that they're collecting money on but never test?

Greenwald's english synopsis: http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2013/jul/07/nsa-braz...

It's interesting to see him strategically releasing these stories to maximize impact of the information. While I'm sure Latin American leaders knew of or at least suspected NSA spying, seeing confirmation in such a revealing way must certainly strengthen their resolve to stand up to the US "treating them as colonies," which can only be good news for Snowden.

It's also interesting to think about the stated mission of the NSA, which is to collect foreign intelligence. Is that a black and white statement? Are there boundaries and human rights to be respected? America respects international law on not torturing to some debatable degree, perhaps a "spying" agreement is needed to define the acceptable limits on collecting foreign intelligence, which I don't believe yet exists.

I have tried and failed. The simple bottom bar, app menu on one side and system tray on the other side is an unbeatable desktop paradigm. I don't think desktop, specially with large screens, should be forced to use full screen and one app at a time.

Ubuntu has done commendable work on 13.04. Power consumption and overall experience is phenomenal. But is hard to get excited about Ubuntu anymore. I was reading a bug report on Transmission torrent client bug tracker where they were discussing if they should support Ubuntu's appindicator or Gnome's message tray or just simple system tray. This divide is only going to increase putting both developers and users in an impossible position. When we free-software-guys don't give Android a hard time, there is no reason to create noise around Ubuntu.

I wonder what famous Dutch hydraulic engineers and their environmental science counterparts would say about removing natural water absorption in favour of promoting runoff over chemical-laden surfaces. Similarly, I wonder if we shouldn't look at such substances from the perspective of the overall energy expended on their production, installation, maintenance and eventual disposal over time.
There's a difference between spying on foreign powers and spying on all of the citizens in the world. There is also a difference between spying and mass surveillance.

"The younger crowd is more likely to inquisitively understand computers better and realize they aren't just a dumb tool to be used to view facebook."

Why would the younger crowd of the future be any more likely to want to understand the underlying workings of a computer than today's younger crowd who uses a computer to view Facebook? I would argue that, young or old, those who want to know how their appliances work will always be a small minority.

That was the hype surrounding Fortran when it came out in 1959: it would eliminate the need for programmers, because you could just punch the formulas and it would translate them into a program automatically. And in a sense it did, and its successors did to an even greater extent. Today you have "nonprogrammers" who can build, in a day, in OpenOffice Calc, computations that would have taken weeks to get written by programmers in the 1950s (when they could have been done at all.)

It's partly a matter of giving the objectives to the computer at progressively higher levels, and partly a matter of improving user interfaces so that you can tell what the thing is doing and what it's going to do.
