> The line seems rather clear. "Haha, you're fat" phrased in a witty way isn't too bad, and can be amusing even to the "victim" if they have a healthy self-image.

Are you serious? Fat people have a tremendously difficult time with being ridiculed for even existing, so no this joke was not acceptable.

> But "you should do everyone a favor and kill yourself", or "do the right thing and don't share such pictures of yourself" are hateful comments that have nothing to do with wit.

This joke and fat hatred go hand in hand. There are not separate entities, they are a part of the same continuum that made the joke a reality: fat people are lazy and have no impulse control and deserve ridicule.

> Digging deeper, personal offensive jokes are acceptable when then joker knows the target well enough to know that it won't be taken as an actual offense. That's what makes them risky e.g. in workplaces where people don't know each other as well. But on the internet, such jokes are not personal to begin with.

> You could replace the OP's picture with a photograph of any other overweight person and it wouldn't make a difference. It's only for people that recognize the person (including themselves) that the joke takes on a whole different meaning. As such, I don't have a huge problem with these jokes.

The amount of shit fat people get from close friends about being fat is just as bad as a society from a whole, so why exactly would it be OK if it was just someone you knew personally hating you vs. a stranger on the internet?

> The hateful comments are a different story, but I find that it helps to remember that they are written by children and other people who simply lack the development of empathy, and should neither be taken seriously nor held completely responsible. They just don't understand, just as a toddler wouldn't understand the repercussions of firing a gun.

People are fully aware of what they post. Racism, sexism, transphobia, homophobia, fat hatred, etc. are the basis for many memes and the comments that go with them. There are not separate, they are a part of the same underlying thoughts and stereotypes that people actually believe in.

Well we have a lot of ideas! One thing that we did, for example, was to apply clustering to discover the ``typical'' approaches to this problem. This allowed us to discover common failure modes in the class, but also gave us a way to find multiple correct approaches to the same problem. Stay tuned for more results from the codewebs team!

"one of its safety features compared to fission"

Not exactly. Off the top of my head I can't think of a reactor thats unstable in operation. Hands off (like that TV series life after humans where the people all disappear) almost all stabilize and eventually shutdown on their own. Maybe those crazy graphite reactors are not inherently stable.

There's two linked issues.

Fission reactors get about 10% of their heat from decay products (the "waste") decaying away. That means there is no instant off switch. The "off" position is still 10% out for hours/days/weeks (well it decays away eventually...). As the Japanese found out the hard way, 10% of a huge amount of power is enough residual heat to cause an awful disaster.

The other is surface area / volume ratio. Couple gigawatts thermal like the Japanese and there's not enough surface area to cool it without giant pumps when shutdown. Couple MW like a nuclear sub and the surface area ratio is better, theoretically you could probably walk away from one without anything awful happening. The people who know aren't talking. Fusion you're talking about something a millimeter across not multiple meters. Walk away or have a computer crash or whatever and it seems impossible for something that small to cause much damage.

There are some practical physics reasons why making a fusion reactor the size of the sun is really easy and the smaller you go the harder it gets, but there are practical engineering reasons why making one bigger than a millimeter would be a huge PITA. On the other hand if you could make a fission reactor the size of a millimeter that would certainly solve a lot of painful thermal engineering problems, but the physics just doesn't work (long story...)

What percentage of subscribers to mobile internet in the USA use pre-paid services compared to contract? And what about the other countries where it's cheaper?

Most pre-paid providers in the US go through a MVNO (basically a reseller) affiliated with Sprint. Therefore performance in most cases is terrible. I can burn up a Verizon or AT&T-based mobile phone hotspot pretty quickly thanks to the high speed an low data cap (3-5GB).

There's wifi everywhere, or I think there'd be a bigger push for this. I might only use 300mb of cellular data a month as long as I don't stream or do something like an OS update on mobile.

Matter cannot be created nor destroyed. So, that means garbage in = fat + garbage out. You really are what you eat.

Hah, no the complaint filed[1] shows nothing of the sort. You literally just made up the line about selling.

In this seller bust, they located some packages, supposedly by a narcotics dog, noticed they all shared the same handwriting, fake return address, and stamps. Over months, they tried to trace back who sent the packages, including asking post office workers to be on the lookout. Some post office workers remember seeing a distinct person "blonde female". From there, it was basic footwork as they watched them mail more and more packages.

The only thing the government agents did was coerce a buyer to make some purchases, so they'd have a known purchase to link "NOD" and the suspect they had. They didn't sell drugs or anything of the sort.

This just underscores what I said: It depends on the operating parameters of the sellers. If they are mailing a high volume of packages a week, it'll take some strict procedures to avoid creating the sort of profile that is noticeable.

As far as "rep to be a hitman", I've no idea what you're talking about. The supposed hits weren't placed over SR.

Real name policies hurt the most vulnerable people the most, and essentially cut off people who can't afford for whatever reason to tie their self-expression on the internet to a name through which or bullies or other abusive personalities can trace their real-life identity.

You say "speculation" as if it were a bad thing.
My understanding is that doing this is complicated because selling securities which are not tradeable on open liquid markets to non-accredited individuals is frowned upon by the SEC (and similar entities in the EU). That's not to say that it's impossible to do: there's just a legal thicket to navigate & the legislators have teeth! (This might be why VCs have stayed away? They must have been pitched this idea over and over again in the last couple of years. Of course funding a competitor for your own revenue stream might not be something that your average VC is going to do either :) )

Kickstarter is fantastic for funding things which are ready to go but just need the capital to pay for volume manufacture up front. If the product isn't ready to ship in that form & their asking for funding to get it into that state then it's much more risky. I've funded things on kickstarter which were pretty much "I'd like to print this comic / book / whatever, if I can get a bunch of pre-orders in up front then everyone wins." Kickstarter is amazing for those kind of creator-driven projects.

How does programming fit into this? It feels a bit in-between. On the one hand, you tell the computer what to do, in a way that feels similar to Type 2; on the other hand, you actually have to do the work of programming, which feels much like Type 1, except you're not moving physical matter around, but stuff in 'concept space'.

Well... no. Carlo Rubbia and Simon van der Meer were awarded the Nobel prize in 1984 for the discovery of the W and Z particles (January 1983). Glashow, Salam and Weinberg were awarded with it in 1979, before the Electroweak Theory was fully confirmed, although there were solid hints at that time, it was a bit premature.

I'm really not too happy about this because the Nobel prize has shunned deserving scientists again. The consensus is that this mechanism can be attributed to three papers, One from Englert and Brout, another from Higgs, and yet another from Guralnik, Hagen and Kibble.

The silly rule of having to give the award to at most three living authors rules out Brout and, as it would be a problem to choose one of GHK (because they signed in alphabetical order, good for them) it's too obvious why they're out, even when the current understanding of the theory can be traced back to their string of papers.

This is not the first time: for instance, nobody really understands why Cabibbo wasn't awarded some years ago along with Kobayashi and Maskawa... for the CKM matrix!

> Hardly seems like something a doctor would assure someone was of no consequence to their overall health.

The article doesn't say the doctor did. Reread it again, it says:

I don’t generally view my body size as positive or negative — it simply is. I eat right (most of the time) and I exercise (an inordinate amount), but it does little, thanks to a struggle with polycystic ovarian syndrome and a failing thyroid gland. I’m strong, I’m flexible and my doctor assures me my health is good, but the fact remains: I’m larger than someone my height should be.

Sounds to me like she already knows, is getting on with her life, and is making good, healthy choices.
The statutes of the Nobel Foundation, § 4 reads (in part and translated): "If a work that is being rewarded has been produced by two or three persons, the prize shall be awarded to them jointly. In no case may a prize amount be divided between more than three persons."

This is one of the more insidiously cruel comments I've seen here.

Never mind PCOS, hypothyroidism is a condition that can suck you of your energy, lower your metabolic rate, put you into depression, and much more, all contributing to weight gain. Point is, it can be a vicious cycle that feeds itself.

But who gives a damn? Who am I to start judging the accuracy or severity of her diagnoses? What if she made it all up? It doesn't matter a damn bit, to me or to you. But at the end of the day, we have no reason to believe she's lying.

There's still some lein functionality I need to add. Currently the best way to add a non-standard task like lein midje is to create a run config (Run->Edit Configurations..., hit + and select Leiningen).

I think the point is she shouldn't have to try EVERYTHING. If she's healthy, meaning her medical tests come back fine, and she's getting exercise the amount of work she might have to do to LOOK thin might not be worth it. In fact it might even be counter productive and make her less healthy.

Of course it's far easier to complain that she's unfit and that everyone loses and gains weight at the same rate than to say you don't like the aesthetics of her body and she should lose weight because being fat makes her unattractive.

It's quite clear that a whole class of humor is offensive but is still funny. And no, there shouldn't be any lines drawn - there are jokes that is both funny and also obscenely offensive to various races, religions, nations or ethical viewpoints; but there is no such thing as too offensive, even if they are about, for example, the funny habits of babyraping [$ethnic] priests of [$religion].

There definitely are (a lot of) jokes that are inappropriate to a particular situation and impolite to a particular audience, where it would be hurtful and/or incite conflict - but all of them are suitable in other situations and audiences.
