Yeah? And who's going to pay for all their modern antibiotics, dentistry, surgery, and preventative medicine? I'm no expert on native/Western interactions but it's my understanding that typically the native population nose dives because of new diseases and those that survive are left to try and make money in a new, grander system of society which is completely different from what they've done for generations prior.

Right now they have a way of life in which food is plentiful; they want fruit they pull it from a tree, they want fish they reach into their lagoon. I'm sure they have their share of injuries and sickness but is it really worth trading their current life away for? And what will they replace it with? Over-harvesting their food sources to sell away? Performing their rituals for gawking tourists until the very acts are meaningless? Being exposed to a slew of diseases they've never had to worry about before only to find out that our modern antibiotics cost too much for their measly incomes?

Regardless of how they've done it these people have survived for what... 65,000 years? I don't think they need anything we have to offer. Meanwhile look at how nearly every other native population has fared after coming into contact with Westerners. Sure our society has plenty of great aspects and advantages to it but these things come with a cost. I don't think it's possible for our modern world to mesh with the Sentinelese without totally destroying their way of life if not a majority of their population.

I now find myself wishing I'd read the copy of "The Coral Sea" by Alan Villiers which is sitting on my bookshelf at home. From my understanding it's a book, published some 50 or 60 years ago, chronicling the history of various Pacific Islands and how Western exploration and exploitation have effected them. The general synopsis from what I've read elsewhere has been that they haven't fared too well.

I am not calling for your execution in the streets, I am merely expressing glee at the fact that the American Taliban are dying of old age and heart disease faster than you can replenish your ranks.

If you think that makes me a bigot, then consider Karl Popper:

" Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them. [...] We should therefore claim, in the name of tolerance, the right not to tolerate the intolerant."

You should crack a book or two. You're only 19, your brain isn't fully formed yet. There is still hope that the damage is not irreversible.

On second thought...

Words cannot express how shocked I am by this comment. I thought people as stupid as you were hyperbolic strawmen... Christ.
> A straight person has the same rights as a homosexual person. They can both get married.

...to a person of the opposite sex.

> That's equal protection under the law.

This is pretty much the exact argument which was made, and ultimately rejected -- see, e.g., Loving v. Virginia, 388 U.S. 1 (1967) -- regarding anti-miscegenation laws, where it was argued that, under those laws, blacks and whites had the same rights, because they could each get married...to a person of the same race.

(Although in the restriction to opposite-sex marriage, the inequality is even more clear: anti-miscegenation laws could at least be argued to deny both blacks and whites the freedom to marry the person of their choice, and so to restrict the freedom of both races in the same way; you can't even make the parallel argument with the opposite-sex restriction.)

> What you want to do is change the definition of marriage

The definition of marriage changes all the time.

> Make a new word for gay marriage if you want

We didn't make a new word for mixed-race marriages when we threw out anti-miscegenation laws. We didn't make a new word for marriages where the woman could own property independent of the man when we threw out the rules prohibiting that. We didn't create new words for marriage each time the prohibited degree of kinship changed.

There's no need to change it when we throw out the restriction on the allowed combinations of genders, either.

> but leave the definition of marriage alone as changing it would break a lot of legacy code.

To the extent there are laws that need updated in the face of same sex marriage, they need updated to accommodate it equally if it a separate marriage-like institution with a different name is adopted.
Doh! Been there. But, I renew a month in advance. As soon as I get the reminder because I don't want to deal with issues, like this.

This kind of thing only really works if you are completely uninhibited and I'm not stupid enough to make that information pseudo-public, even with promises from seemingly trustworthy people.

Meanwhile, somewhere in the NSA, a presentation illuminates a darkened room:

The author may be distorting the study's methodology or results, in order to support the narrative he wants to tell. (Or the researchers, but from the information presented here, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt.)
His other fundamental assumption was that the NSA wasn't doing anything wrong. Well, lots of people think that it was.
This is psychotic. In the literal sense of having lost contact with reality.

As much as you dislike the government, you can't just ignore how incredibly powerful it is in people's daily lives. The incidents of legally recognized marriage are very real and very significant. I've met many families separated (or threatened with separation) by immigration law that didn't recognize same-sex couples. No amount of saying "fuck off" to the government is going to change whether you're family members will be allowed to live in the same country as you.

In the case of Alan Turing, no amount of him saying "fuck off" to the government could prevent them from criminalizing his relationship and chemically castrating him. The UK government issuing a pardon is a overdue recognition that they instituted a campaign on suffering on many people, one of whom hand a significant part in saving the country from the Nazis.

I feel like you're reading a bit much into a submission title. The page isn't titled that way and doesn't read in a way that suggests it.

In our humanities grad program we were told to pick either MLA or APA and stick with it. It doesn't matter which, consistency is what matters. Enforcing a particular style across all colleges and departments seems silly. These were the resources we were told to consult:

MLA - http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/747/01/

APA - http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/01/

Anyway, you should have a citations database and whatever citation tool you are using (BibTeX for instance) should be able to pull the citation from the database and format it in one of any number of styles.

Win32 is the only thing going for Microsoft on the windows side. They're far too late to the touchscreen party to dictate the tempo of UI design and thus they appear as a "me too" solution. The only thing they could possibly offer that Google/Apple can't would be to run windows-specific applications on your latest version of Windows. Throw that away and there's no reason why a Surface Pro 360 beats a Galaxy Tab 4 or iPad 4/5.
>I've never seen a resume where the candidate listed anti-gay or anti-gay marriage advocacy groups.

This very fact should concern people. You rarely see people advertising their support for traditional marriage (especially in california/new york. There is a common misconception that supporting gay marriage is somehow a proud rebellious cause against the status quo. But the reality couldn't be further from the truth - virtually the entire media and up to the president support gay marriage. Organizations supporting traditional marriage will immediately be called "intolerant, bigoted, hate groups" and shouted out of the debate. There is something seriously wrong with that.

So no, I would not put any political organizations on my resume for a software engineering job. I rarely discuss politics/religion at work. I hope you wouldn't hire such people who jump on the bandwagon issue de jour.
Apple typically doesn't engage with the developer community outside official channels, do they? I don't remember ever reading a post here by an Apple employee in an official or even semi-official capacity.
I've heard several people say good things about BYTE. It's a shame there's nothing similar today. (Yet another thing for my list of what to do when I have lots of money).

So you are hypothesizing that they neglected to prosecute child molesters of child molestation, and instead prosecuted them merely for 'homosexual acts'?

That may be the case, but I find it unlikely. Are there any specific examples?

Frankly though, as plainly unfortunate as those situations may be, those people should still be pardoned. When the prosecution fucks up, bad people can be declared not guilty. Same principle here. It is a risk we accept in the system.
The key point I was trying to make was:

With many of their new products, Microsoft seems to finally have viable offerings.

Your statement of:

Well, the market and the customers don't seem to agree on all of this

Seems to miss that point. Just to be more clear - it was only in the last few weeks that Verizon had a flagship Windows Phone 8 device available (Nokia Lumia 928). Has the market really had time to absorb that Verizon now has a Windows Phone 8 device that can compete with the iPhone? I don't think it has. As a former iPhone user, I was personally responsible for at least a dozen people buying iPhones. Now as a Windows Phone 8 user for the past couple weeks, I am responsible for someone returning their iPhone 5 to get a Lumia 928 and there are three additional people in my office who are now going to get a Lumia instead of the iPhone 5 they were planning on when they are next eligible for an upgrade.

The PC market is shrinking extremely and many analysts now point to Windows 8 as one of the reasons behind that.

...and Windows ME was a failure, Windows Vista was a failure and Windows 8 is proving to be less than stellar. Let's see how it is when Windows 8.1 is released generally and people have time to react to Haswell processors having been released. There are also a lot of people that bought iPads thinking it would fully replace their PC that are now sorely disappointed.

The market share of the Surface again is extremely small and I don't see any indications of it growing.

Surface Pro is selling well. Don't judge it by Surface RT which was a desperate attempt at increasing market share to get more Windows 8-style applications developed.

>I think shouting out your opposition is intolerant.

That is not what intolerance means. Saying that I find the fact, that you want to deny same sex couples rights, to be downright reprehensible is not oppressive to you or anybody else. The same cannot be said of your views..

>But I have a webster's dictionary from the 60's and the definition of marriage quite clearly reads between a man and woman.

Really. I'd appreciate it if you were to quote that definition verbatim, because quite honestly I do not believe you.

I also feel I must point out that "appeal to tradition" is a straight up logical fallacy.
We need aggressive patent reform to stop this. A good start would be contacting your representatives and signing this letter.

I have that (Strunk-meister) but never really consult it. Stephen King's (let's put aside what we think of his works for the moment) On Writing is a great style guide even though it concerns writing short stories and novels. Read the technical (non-biographical) part of that book a couple of times and you'll see the words, sentences, and paragraphs that you're cranking out a whole lot differently, I guarantee you. Plus, it's an easy read.
Saying "clearly" is usually a sign that you're trying to avoid explaining why something is true. Could you explain why PRISM violates the original spirit of the 4th amendment? The 4th amendment is a very narrowly worded provision (when the founders knew how to write broadly worded provisions, e.g., the 1st amendment) and doesn't apply to third party records (when there were third party records during the 18th century, so the founders could have included them in the 4th amendment either explicitly or by broader drafting had they wanted to).

>Beautiful examples in theory, but blown out of the water in practice

I will admit that this work was largely done 10 years ago, so it's certainly a bit outdated. I will also concede that the current state of affairs in antimicrobials research is dreadful.

>Can anyone offer a practical example of how bioinformatics has genuinely been (pref. statistically) useful in successful drug discovery?

I can offer no data that stands up to a rigorous statistical analysis that you seek as far as bioinformatics impact on drug discovery is concerned. This is the primary reason most of us with bioinformatics experience who used to work in the pharma industry don't work there anymore (and for a great many of us this was not by choice).

>As such, I find it awkward and outdated to claim that novel drug discovery is a great testament to phylogenetics and bioinformatics.

Where did I make this claim? I chose the examples I did (which are real and actual examples by the way) of the way one can use phylogenetics to point out to the parent poster that it's not all crusty old geezers arguing about whether two almost indistinguishable variants of mice are part of the same taxon (which is the view a great many people who have never worked in the field often have). I chose these examples because they are practical examples of phylogenetic techniques that are easy to explain in a forum such as this in a few paragraphs.

I can't speak to the viral one, as I was only peripherally involved in that work, but my very first job was taking bacterial sequences, making alignments, and looking at the phylogenetic trees to see whether or not they were too close to eukaryotes for comfort. This was the policy of the company where I worked: the antimicrobials team wanted to ensure both spectrum (that targets they were going after were actually present in medically important bugs) and specificity (that they weren't sloppy targets that you might accidentally hit a human enzyme with). There were a great many targets that I personally de-prioritized because they were no good purely from an informatics perspective.
Damn, I was about to sign up until I read this. I have to handle a lot of my work from my phone, and if it doesn't work well then I don't think it would be too useful for me.

> Win32 is the only thing going for Microsoft on the windows side

And this is their key problem. They're stuck in the past, relying on previous successes and unable to come up with anything new that's sufficiently compelling for people to adopt.

Contrast to Apple, who made the switch to a modern, object-oriented API 13 years ago which has steadily improved, and their willingness to cut old technology (after a transition period - see Carbon and PowerPC).

iOS had zero compatibility with anything that came before, with the exception of the underlying frameworks. Microsoft needs to be able to demonstrate this level of innovation in order to survive in the long term.

Well done.
I know its hard to believe, but most folks work at large enterprises.
Adjusting that for inflation, it's worth approximately 70% of that (based on 43% cumulative inflation 1998-2013).
Well, you could do it this way:

(defn cross2 [xs ys]
(cond (or (and (sequential? xs) (empty? xs)) (empty? ys)) '()
(not (sequential? xs)) (cons (list xs (first ys)) (cross2 xs (rest ys)))
true (concat (cross2 (first xs) ys) (cross2 (rest xs) ys))))

which is pretty much exactly homologous, allowing for the detail that you can't ask if an atom is empty? in Clojure, cond (Arc-like) takes alternating conditions and consequents rather than condition-consequent pairs, and the spellings of the list operations no longer refer to IBM 709 machine instructions. Also, it works on any kind of sequences, not just lists, with of course a punishing performance overhead on sequences whose `rest` operation is slow.

But I would argue that this interface is poorly designed, since you can say (cross2 '(a b c) '(1 2 3)) or (cross2 'a '(1 2 3)) but not (cross2 '(a b c) '1), and worse, (cross2 '(a (b c) d) '(1 2 3)) implicitly flattens the (b c) into individual items, which is probably a latent bug rather than desired behavior. So I would argue for writing it in this form instead:

(defn sc [x ys] ; scalar cross
(if (empty? ys) '()
(cons (list x (first ys)) (sc x (rest ys)))))

(defn cross [xs ys]
(if (or (empty? xs) (empty? ys)) '()
(concat (sc (first xs) ys) (cross (rest xs) ys))))

which avoids those irregularities and makes the code easier to understand by removing misleading false symmetries.

Except really, if this isn't a homework problem, I think you should write it like this in any of these three Lisps:

(defn cross [xs ys]
(map (fn [x] (map (fn [y] (list x y)) ys)) xs))
