Evolution is not true. It's not false either and any discussion about it being that is missing the point.
Evolution is the best model we have to explain how life and species interact and evolve.

I think you mean that the "theory of evolution via natural selection" is the best model we have to explain the observed phenomena of evolution. Analogous to the Newtownian theory of gravity explaining the mechanics of observed terrestrial and celestial gravity. Gravity and evolution are simply there, how they occur requires a theoretical explanation.

Exactly my line of reasoning; this is an example of an easy to think of scenario where it is "obviously" better to kill somebody than allow them to report something to law enforcement.

This example is rather black and white, though it is extreme. Before the inevitable objections to how extreme it is roll in, let me point out that it is suppose to be extreme; it establishes that there is a boundary, somewhere out there.

The DPR case is less extreme; is not nearly so black and white. The question we should ask is "How gray is it?".
Found this interesting thread: http://forums.truecrypt.org/viewtopic.php?t=28782&postdays=0...

> Though "survival of the fittest" is the catchphrase of natural selection, "survival of the fit enough" is more accurate

Would it make sense to turn it around and say "Natural selection is about unfit individuals in a population dying off"
Agreed. My father was in the reverse situation, where he spent several months legally alive in the coroner's office. We're still running into issues with agencies refusing to believe that he passed away.

We basically attempted to get the bots to match each metric that we were measuring server side from a smaller sample of players during closed beta. The peak concurrency during closed beta was something like 2000 players, so we multiplied each metric out to get a target. Here are a few examples of metrics:

Chat messages per second

Party creations per second

Average party size

Number of zone transitions per second

Average number of open zones per player

Character saves per second

PVP Match list requests per second

And so on, and so on.

Certainly bots are not going to be the same due to the issues you mentioned, but we do the best we can! We didn't simulate all kinds of connection issues a real player might have, but we did match the non-graceful connection termination metric.
Yes, that's already about 80% there. There are some of the paredit commands missing but it's very usable right now. The most obvious omissions are open-round-and-newline, wrap-round and kill-word. Most other commands are there, and it's strict in the sense of preserving braces with backspace/delete.
Sure. Just for a start, some of David Bailey's papers (http://www.davidhbailey.com/dhbpapers/), e.g. "High-Precision Arithmetic: Progress and Challenges" and "High-Precision Floating-Point Arithmetic in Scientific Computation" show some concrete examples. You will find many others by searching for papers containing the words "quad double arithmetic", "high precision arithmetic", "multiple precision arithmetic" or similar terms. Most applications are probably in physics, and of course in pure mathematics.

Did you look at why Krugman got his nobel prize?

Here's a clue. He's not a monetary economist. His opinions on monetary policy, are therefore of little influence on whether he should get the prize. He's a trade economist, and a rather brilliant one. And that's what he got the prize for, not his opinions on monetary economics, or the business cycle.

Really, just prioritize what you want to do, rather than just doing it in the moment. You'll limit yourself this way to the cool stuff and still have time for doing nothing. But the "do nothing" time has to be made a priority, rather than being what's left over. If you have to, schedule the do-nothing time. It's incredibly refreshing and balancing.
Your comparison is completely silly as it relies on something which can't be changed by determinated effort, unlike human brain and mental skills/capabilities and our physical body.

The comparison of going to gym holds perfectly, as anybody can go there and bulk themselves way, way bigger, fitter and more muscular with effort than almost anybody else who doesn't go there. Same is definitely possible with human brain as numerous studies show that after exposure to a new skill, learning it does physical changes to our brain(neuroplasticity) and thus modifies it to work better/more optimally, making it more capable.

And specifically as to federal law, the US Constitution is crystal clear on this matter:

"This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding."

Go get the Social Security Act -- a federal law -- declared beyond the powers of the federal government (not going to happen), and you'll have a coherent argument. Until then, you're just speaking nonsense.

And before you tiresomely drag out the full faith and credit clause, try looking it up and actually reading about it.
I knew that students would be forgetting their passwords (already more than 10 have come to me asking me what their passwords were) so rather than making a password retrieval/changing system, I made the executive decision that it didn't particularly matter on a system I made the morning before a class that has no impact on grades or anything else. The system is purely for the students' convenience at testing code. The only reason there are usernames/passwords to begin with is so students can view all of their past submissions to the system.

Following your story I love this scene from Kaspar Hauser: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oAnOi0fnxuE

From the subtitles:

The Professor here has come
all this way to ask you a question.

He wants to see
how well you can think...

...and what you have learned
in these two years...

...and whether you can think
logically. Will you answer him?

- Yes!
- Good.

Kaspar...

...let's pretend that this is a village.

In this village live
people who tell only the truth.

Here is another village.

The people here only tell lies.

Two paths run from these
villages to where you are standing...

...and you are at the crossroads.

A man comes along, and you want to
know which village he comes from...

...the village of the truthtellers
or the village of the liars.

Now in order to solve this
problem, to solve it logically...

...you have one question, and only one.

What is the question?

That's too difficult for him,
how can he know that.

I admit, the question is thorny.

If you ask the man whether he
comes from the village of truth...

...and he does,
then he will say, truthfully, yes.

But if he comes from the
village of lies, he will lie...

...and also answer yes!

Yet there exists one question
which will solve the problem.

That's much to hard, too complicated.

You have one question, Kaspar...

...and only one,
to solve this problem of logic.

I wouldn't know either.

If you can't think of the question...

...then I shall tell you.

If you came from the other village...

...would you answer 'no' if
I were to ask you whether...

...you came from the liars' village?

By means of a double negative
the liar is forced to tell the truth.

This construction forces him
to reveal his identity, you see.

That's what I call logic
via argument to the truth!

Well, I know another question.

You do?

There is no other question,
by the laws of logic.

There isn't?

But I do know another question.

Let us hear it, then!

I should ask the man
whether he was a tree-frog.

The man from the
truth village would say:

No, I'm not a tree-frog,
because he tells the truth.

The man from the
liars' village would say:

Yes, I'm a tree-frog,
because he would tell a lie.

So I know where he comes from.

No, that's not a proper question.

That won't do,
I can't accept it as a question.

That's no logic;
logic is deduction, not description.

What you've done is describe
something, not deduce it.

But I understood his question.

Understanding is secondary;
the reasoning is the thing.

In Logic and Mathematics
we do not understand things...

...we reason and deduce:
I cannot accept that question.
That is interesting and opens the whole debate of whether it's best to let people integrate their tools vs having our own experience.

I worked at a couple of major defense/aerospace companies in college, and you're spot on. At both places, I (the intern) and other junior engineers were doing meaningless paperwork that could be replaced by a relational database. At one of the jobs, I actually wrote that database and replaced myself, which made my manager very angry, as I wasn't doing what I was supposed to. I talked to a guy a year later and they were still using the thing I wrote.

On the other hand, one of my friends works at a small (~30 people) aerospace company that does various contract work for prototyping and research that the larger firms do, and I'm pretty sure it's a dream job. He does a mix of everything from cool analysis work to working with state of the art machining tools to build stuff. And he's not some PhD genius from MIT either, he has the same degree I do from a middling state school. He just had a lot of passion and drive and found the place that rewarded that.

We strive to avoid GC like the plague in the stdlib, and the language itself encourages users to do the same. I wouldn't go so far as to say that we try to make it hard to use GC in Rust, but we definitely believe that it's currently too easy to resort to it over better alternatives. This is why we're moving it into a library.

I knew a few semi-religious scientists in the past.

They were all in line with what we'd probably accept as scientific reasoning behind natural phenomena, but deferred to religion on more philosophical (and not physical) questions: "Why are we here?" "What's the meaning of life?" "Why should I be good towards other people?"

(I know part of these are at least touched on by some of the humanities sciences - moral philosophy and psychology, but the scientists I've experience with were biologists & chemists and not as well versed in those fields as their own)
Nice work. Although I must say that "visually intuitive web commenting and discussion" is not correct, at least not for me. I was a bit puzzled when staring at your UI. The introduction video cleared things up.

For sure you learned a lot in UI design and implementation. That is worth a lot when building your next thing.

> how do you reconcile the use of evidence for establishing belief in one domain, and then not require this in another

It's even worse than that. For religious scientists, often belief is directly contradicted by the evidence at hand. The reason this still somewhat works is because humans can exist (and sometimes thrive) in a state of profound cognitive dissonance.

I don't remember right now who said this first, but the phrase "religion poisons everything" comes to mind. Like a trojan on a computer, religion fortifies the brain against external influence. Most insidiously, religion poisons the ability to freely reason about data specifically and the environment generally. If there is such a thing as a poisonous meme, this is it. To use a biochemical phrase, religion has evolved to competitively inhibit the brain's logical and moral facilities, and in doing that it has developed heavily optimized strategies for maximizing infectiousness and resilience.
I think... that might be the difference between advertising and an actual post by a member of the community. Nobody pays attention to advertising. My big breakout[1] was posted both here and reddit (and I didn't track which got me more customers) but... I don't think I could have paid for that.

Well, that and I think that per-capita, hacker news buys a lot more "cloud services" than reddit does. A lot more. This is the upside to the heavy business slant to hacker news. Most people here have or will at some point try to use a website to make money directly, whereas most of r/sysadmin works for other people. I'd expect you'd pay a lot more per impression here vs. reddit if hacker news supported reddit style ads.

As an aside, hacker news is also much more open to advertising-like posts by members of the community than most technically-oriented communities... which I find kind of weird.

The legislature is the appropriate place to address thort of problem, and micro-fixes for corner cases like these pass through legislatures all the time, usually without signficant opposition because they are pragmatic rather than ideological problems. The judge is not in a position to write new laws, all he can do is invalidate some part of the existing law, which would throw the baby out with the bathwater.

I'm betting you're the kind of person that gets really annoyed about 'activist judges' when a judge does act in a way that you disagree with.

Ah. I didn't realize he was doing this on a multiple choice test. It makes complete sense in that context. The Spanish threw me - none of my language courses had multiple choice exams.

I've seen people try and take this scoring scheme out of the multiple choice arena and into a more general program. However, when the answer space is infinite, the expected value for guessing is already zero, so there really isn't any point, besides sadistically torturing students.
How did you decide to embark on this challenge? Do you have any online resources that you can link to so we can learn more?
I always take Wikipedia with a grain of salt, especially when it comes to pharmacology / pharmacodynamics / pharmacokinetics. I may be wrong though, so take my opinions with a grain of salt as well please.

Here's another way of looking at the issue though.

For instance, an example of the symptoms a cholinergic overdose would cause ('bradycardia, sinus arrhythmia, vomiting and respiratory insufficiency'), as opposed to piracetam's most common side-effects listed on Wikipedia ('anxiety, insomnia, irritability, headache, agitation, nervousness, and tremor'): http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/14658400

Although not listed on Wikipedia, sinus tachycardia is another potential side-effect of piracetam, perhaps more common than bradycardia. Unfortunately I can't find where I put my Thomson Micromedex toxicology leaflets on piracetam, I'd look up more info.

Btw, I hope I haven't offended you, it's clear you put a lot of work into the article and are passionate about the subject.

There is nothing special about truecrypt formatted encrypted volume.The only thing interesting is the format of the header used to store information about the properties used to create the volume and necessary to open the it.

cryptsetup is a front end to dm-crypt,an infrastructure in linux kernel that deal with block device encryption.cryptsetup just parses truecrypt header for volume properties,the hard crypto stuff is done by the kernel.

tcplay does the same thing,it just parses the truecrypt volume header and the hard lifting is done by linux kernel in linux and bsb kernel in BSD systems.

In both two projects,the crypto stuff is done either by crypto routines in kernels or by libgcrypt or openssl.

zuluCrypt is just a front end to the two projects above.

None of these projects do crypto stuff themselves.

It should be possible and to some,"trivial" for windows or OSX tools that deal with block device encryption to support truecrypt format.I think this will be a better use of the resources.
