Ideally we'd have a world in which everything happened in the same way up until the moment he french-kissed her. Then she would indeed have punched him and said "you crossed the line". He would say "sorry, my alcohol-infused mind judged the situation wrongly, I should not have done that and will not do it next time". In this ideal world, he'd mean that. Everyone would accept the miscalculation and everyone would get on with their lives, without anyone holding anything against anyone else.

You know why the world isn't like that? Because of beliefs and expectations.

You are judging this situation in the abstract and in hindsight. That is pointless and leads to callous conclusions that do not do justice to the complexity of these situations. It lacks empathy and respect for the complexity of the situation and differences between people. Try to imagine the scene, the days leading up to it, put yourself in the shoes of a woman, imagine the beliefs she has about how she should behave, how others will behave, about what is expected of her. The situation becomes complex, muddy: so many variables to consider! As someone else said: put yourself in a gay bar, with a score of gay colleagues, including your boss, and this happens to you. What if you worked in a larger company? What if the company was in bad weather and perhaps people need to be let go? So many variables!
This was also the foundation for Summly. The problem is that it is flawed. It doesn't take in to account emotion, or emphasis.

What is the most important sentence in this:

Drakaal is a poopy head. He often posts to hackernews and calls people an idiot. When this happens I get mad.

The Premise is "Drakaal is a poopy head" so that is the most important, but it doesn't inform the user. What he does is the most telling of the sentences, but with the "He" as the first word you can't actually make sense of the content with out the prior sentence. The last sentence is the least important for the understanding of the content.

It is important to know that sentence number 2 is the most informative, but that to figure out what it means requires Sentence 1.

When computing the results of a summary you have to weigh sentence dependencies, density of information, amount of emotion expressed and number of characters available to you.

And Keywords aren't enough, you need noun entities and the ability to tell the relationships of words so that you know "Cars, Trucks, and Automobiles" are all the same concept in many contexts.

Excel's major problem is the ease in which point/click/copy/paste generates errors. There have been several recent cases where off-by-one cell errors have caused authors issues. This was one part of the Duke scandal (the fraud was much worse, but the Excel was sloppy) and put egg on some Harvard Econ prof's faces - to the delight of the UMASS grad student that found it...
Top sites (and maybe NSA) track users with device fingerprinting
Any of these computer architecture concepts: register file, L1/L2/L3 cache, main memory

Can be implemented with any of these components: DRAM, SRAM, D-FF (flip-flops)

It's common for main memory (in embedded systems) and register files to use SRAM. But you can also implement the registers with flip-flop banks, and get something bulkier but faster. I'm not sure what Intel/AMD does.
I tried signing up on Thursday. I filled out the account information, submitted, the site spun for a few seconds and replied 'Important: Your account couldnt be created at this time. The system is unavailable.' (Note no apostrophe in couldn't, verbatim from site.)
Twenty minutes later I received an email 'Your Marketplace account has been created.', with a link to verify my email address. I read the email an hour later, clicked the link, and was informed that the link had expired and that I would need to re-enter my account information.

I realize that the plural of anecdote is not data, but there's got to be some multiplier of plural that is data.

Poverty is a such a large and difficult problem. Someone's knee jerk reaction may be to "ZOMG, shut down the factory!" But the factory is providing a _relatively_ better environment than what may other alternatives may provide, such as prostitution.
I've been shampoo free for three years, now. It's like the parent says. My transition period lasted 4 weeks and I wore a hat the entire time. After that, my hair was the softest it's been in its life. No fuss, no muss. I wash it daily with water, when I shower. I use neither shampoo nor conditioner, just water.

Here's an article[1] by a guy who did it as well. He was linked on boingboing in 2009 and 2011. His site also has several updates, as much as a year later[2]. I think one of the boingboing guys did it too. There are links to the boingboing articles in the first link[1].

On the soap issue, I remember reading a study conducted a while back about the difference in bacteria counts after going to the bathroom. They compared not washing to washing with water to washing with soap and water. There was one particular bacteria that was only effectively eliminated when soap was used. Apparently, it was small enough to hide deep enough in the folds of your skin that water alone couldn't touch it. So, I do wash with soap after going to the bathroom, but I don't use soap on my body when I shower.

They would be applying some search logic in memory in PHP. Depending on what you are doing it does make sense to load in a heap of data from the database then narrow it down in PHP.
I can't wait to see you guys give that lecture to Sergey Brin.

This stuff happens.

Personally I'm going to call Sergey and Amanda "Probably not a great idea", rather than your implied suggestion of "Sergey is guilty of sexual assault and is holding her against her will". But we can agree to disagree.
This might actually be a better way to advertise on the internet. My biggest qualm with advertising is that in almost every case, the product being shoved into your face is not the best product for you needs, it's the product with the better marketing plan, which has little correlation to the actual value of the product.

With endorsements, it's more likely that I'll get advertised products that suit my needs, because I'll get more advertised products that people who are similar to me have endorsed.

It still doesn't remove the marketing budget factor, but it may more strongly correlate the things that are advertised to me with the things that best fit my needs.
It's more complex to specify and implement than "this code statically runs at the end of the block". This can lead to surprises. (I would not have guessed what "defer" in a loop does until I learned.)

Because "defer" is tied to function definitions, it means that pulling code out into a new function or inlining a function will silently change its behavior in subtle ways.

Like most complex language semantics, "defer" is less easily optimizable than the simple semantics of RAII—with RAII the compiler statically knows what it is supposed to call, which helps exceptions (panicking goroutines in Go) because it allows their cleanups to be optimized into table-driven unwinding. But because Go chose "defer", the compiler must insert code that dynamically keeps track of cleanups to handle the general case. This results in indirect function calls, and bookkeeping overhead, whereas RAII is purely static function calls. The bookkeeping overhead is significant: it allows RAII to be zero-cost in the no-panic path (very important in C++'s case!), while I don't see any way to implement "defer" in a zero-cost way.

Unfortunately unreadable on my Android-based Sony PRS-T1 too. Text is aligned too far to the left, leading to some of it being cropped.

Interesting topic though, I'll revisit it when I have access to my workstation again. Thank you for posting.
Methadone is horrid. Buprenorphine was better for me, personally. I'm tapering off that at the moment.

Also, Krokodil is... well, it's barely desomorphine. A RP/I reduction of codeine... that certainly doesn't produce what they want it to (except in tiny, tiny quantities perhaps, more as a side-chain reaction though).

Also, just to point out, a lot of the Krokodil images were mislabeled from another drug (that I can't remember) -- it's horridly dangerous, it will kill you, but it doesn't eat the flesh of your bones like is commonly reported, unless you're shooting acetone. And trust me, you know if what you're shooting hasn't been cleaned properly -- that shit hurts like fuck, and definitely ruins any "high" you might get. *shudder

Adding ACID to Apache Hive
When companies outsource to countries like Bangladesh because of their cheap labor, it also provides jobs to millions of people there. They are not good jobs by our (western) standards, but they are better jobs than they could've had otherwise. Getting the kids out of the factories wouldn't do much unless their families had the means to sustain themselves.

Bringing such stories in the public eye is a good thing though because it might help bring about better oversight of these operations, and an improvement in working conditions. The companies that outsource to Bangladesh might now have an incentive to keep an eye on the working conditions (surely it's possible to have decent working conditions while still having a relatively cheap operation?)
It's probably still there and has probably never caused any problems. In other words I think iand is exaggerating.
Maybe you can try to understand pearjuice's comments and fucking think for a while.
Well said. Not sure why you got downvoted.

The fact that this is making news at all is silly. This is business as usual for Facebook and business as usual for a billionaire. FB doesn't care about your privacy and a rich guy bought some houses. I'm shocked!
Holy shit. This is the top post? This? This victim blaming bullshit? (Just because you say it’s not victim blaming doesn’t make it not victim blaming.)

Consent to one thing (whatever that may be) does not imply consent to another thing. If you fail to make sure consent exists you always run the risk of doing something non-consensual. If that’s a risk you want to take, well, then do it. If you believe in your infallible abilities to read body language go for it. But don’t complain when others call you out for sexual assault or rape. (This doesn’t even begin to address the power imbalance of the relationship.)

You should re-think the tons of empathy you seem to have for this guy, based on some imaginary life-destroying effects of this blogpost, all the while you seem to have exactly zero empathy for her.

Think about that.

A comparison: of Summaries of http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2013-08/22/filtering-the...

Stremor's TLDR:
Pointless reeling off the numbers. The challenge each of us now faces is a brand new one. Our filters were once the media, our friends, and our families. We were aware of, and understood how our filters operated. EdgeRank isn't something that Facebook users understand. Just 20 tweets out of thousands. We need better filters.

Text Teaser:
How do we create a balanced diet of content with so much junk being thrown at us?
Now, large media organisations create mountains of content, then track our reading habits and online behaviour in order to build a profile of us.
A set of favourite news groups; a list of RSS feeds; a well-curated bookmarks folder; these are all filters we once built ourselves.
The less we understand our filters, the more we will come to accept that the world they present us with is true.
The more control we have over our filters, the more we can understand what we're not seeing.

Text Teaser goes over 350 Characters which is the Established People can't sue you for stealing it limit... So also weigh that when deciding which you like better.

Yeah, because that little love triangle wasn't a complete and total disaster.

By the by, I don't recall that Brin shoved his hand down her pants at a conference and penetrated her with his fingers in a drunken stupor.

Perhaps you didn't read that bit about removing the power imbalance first? The issue is that while you give us an example it's really an outlier, and not the same at all.

Home and Business only costs $60 more than Home and Student.

However, I don't think there's a way to upgrade if you buy Home & Student and then discover that you need to do commercial work with it. You have to buy a new license.
And don't forget there is a massive lobby on the other side pushing for the continuation of the war on drugs, which probably affects the public sphere.

I'm still working my way through the single player. I've played a few multiplayer games and it's been awesome. I haven't had any of the server pain that other folks are experiencing. It seems a bit silly that I'm about to increase my savings by 1000% through pure chance.

I had a very disturbing discussion about this with a colleague who I like and find intelligent enough.

He fully supports the War on Drugs because he thinks it's protecting people from becoming addicted to dangerous drugs.

He's done cocaine in the past, smokes cannabis on rare occasion and enjoys his alcohol. And he's much younger than I am.

Not to mention that a faster clocked processor has to stay active for less time to achieve the same task. A similar logic explains why LTE battery life is often better than 3G/UMTS too.
Why has she not reported this to the police? Why did HR not do it also? Sexual assault is defined in law, and many people are (rightly) convicted and imprisoned over these serious offences every year. Justine is not averse to talking about the issue with strangers over the Internet; why is the law any different?

In order to secure an arrest, the police need to be satisfied a crime has occurred (multiple witnesses are usually a good way to ascertain, for which there are at least two). For a conviction, a jury needs to be satisfied. The best way to do this? With evidence and witnesses.

Even with two witnesses to this case who have come out publicly, no doubt the bartenders can be found too (location, time, staff time sheets). It's highly likely there is CCTV footage too, particularly on the bar itself.

Is this genuine? I say that because I was not there, did not witness it, and do not know any of the people involved; including their judgement under drugs (alcohol) and their truthfulness. If this is genuine, why not use the full force of the law to bring a criminal to justice?

> I'm surprised nobody mentioned Pages on a Mac. It's a style sheet-based tool, where the styles are quite easy to work with. ... Pages works just fine, and produces nicely-formatted documents.

Microsoft Word is also a styles-based tool, and produces nicely-formatted documents that are consistent with a stylesheet.

The problem is that people don't use the styles.
Korean is terrible for writing languages that don't have a strong syllabic structure like English.

On the flip side, writing Korean in Latin script is a fool's errand and is almost always easier to read an pronounce correctly in Hangul.
Should I rent or buy a house? 
I know it depends. Nevertheless, still interested to hear your perspective (opinion).

Just had a long heated discussion with my grandmother and her friend who ganged up on me and said I need to look into buying a house, instead of renting. I don't like the idea of having a mortgage. But, in their own unique way argued that it's a wise investment for the future.

What do you think?
It's extra hard because the poor have less information available to them. When Clojure was released, I saw it as my opportunity to become a real-life Lisp ninja, on a platform in wide deployment. How did Meem see it? Oh, that's right, she didn't. Because she was sewing shirts instead of reading "Beating the Averages."
Probably like all books that are meant to be strange and mysterious, it's actually quite boring. The strangest books to me are those the authors meant to be understood. One example (for me) is Valis, by PK Dick.
Actually, unofficially, the older iMacs support 6 GB (4+2) since the first aluminium iMac (mid 2007, I think)

I bought a 4 GB DDR2 DIMM for my Dad's mid 2007 iMac, installed it together with a 2 GB DIMM and it has been running non-stop for almost a year now, without any problems. DDR2 is now a bit expensive, due to being old, the 4 GB DIMM cost me around 50$ on eBay.
"I'm really struggling to see why this is something bad"

Let's say you are famous person X. Would you want Google giving out your endorsements to people and making money from doing it? Probably not. So why is it okay if you're just some schmuck?

Our opinions and thoughts have value. Online providers are feasting on our thoughts and actions and turning it all into some kind of version of a radio promotional spot. If your life is a piece of merchandise, then maybe it doesn't matter. Or perhaps you're not that important. But many others have done the math and it is important to them.

So I guess the real question is: how much do you value your thoughts?
Off topic, but is living next to Mark Zuckerberg a thing? You can ask him over aperitifs for an angel investment in your social network company, is that the thinking?

I understand the situation with providing jobs to people who may otherwise have to turn to much more terrible means of providing for themselves, but this is where there is exploitation of their situation by companies and as the end user of much of the products, us as westerners (although we may do little to change it).

Factory workers are paid the minimum that the company can get away with, even though we could afford to pay them much more, they could get an education for their children or move their family out of the slums. I'm OK with children working in factories if that is the reality of their situation but we can afford and should pay them more than the paltry amount that just keeps them ticking over.
Idea: Featured Tweets
But so what? Are you suggesting that she is wrong to feel so distraught? Or that society is doing something to encourage her to feel this distraught?

Because from I read I see a lot of society blaming her for what happened and telling her to get over it.

I agree. I can't believe some of the comments. The top rated post at the moment is from someone who feels sympathy with the abuser and who believes it was the fault of the victim. Who then edited his comment to say that her DUI charges were unforgivable, as if this somehow caused her to be assaulted.

Other commentators are basically saying similar things - she fell apart, what's with that, why can't she jut get over it? Another comment says that the language she used about her assault is ambiguous and can't have been all that bad. Yet others are implying or stating baldly that she did consent to being groped in public by her boss! Frankly, it sickens me to read the comments these fools are making.
Ah, OK. From a glance I think some combination of higher-kinded type parameters, functional dependencies/associated types, and associated constants could fix the issues you were hitting that forced you to use macros. But I'll talk to bjz. Thanks for the pointers!
Reminds me of when CNET reporters got blacklisted by Google in 2005 for posting publicly available information about their CEO.

http://money.cnn.com/2005/08/05/technology/google_cnet/

Also, this line from that article is very interesting and almost prescient, given that it was in 2005 and the events that transpired since then making every claim below true.

>Cnet reported that some analysts fear it is becoming a great risk to privacy, because it would be a tempting target for hackers, "zealous government investigators, or even a Google insider who falls short of the company's ethics," the article said.
Yikes, I meant "off the train" not on. Talk about a bad typo.
I was wondering why, to put it bluntly, Bangladesh sucks so much. This may shed some light:

"Corruption in Bangladesh has been a continuing problem with the country being ranked as the most corrupt country for the year 2005 in the list published by Transparency International." http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corruption_in_Bangladesh
At the end of the book, Winston Smith is brainwashed by a "re-education process" of pervasive intimidation. He is subjected to the persistent threat of a death sentence, and the threat of rats-eating-your-face torture. He's behaviorally lobotomized and broken by coercive psychological manipulation. ...and oh yeah, they take away his QT 3.14 too.</SPOILER>

Don't bastardize the message and theme of the book.

IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH.
Good luck fighting this. The drug war has become a racket.

It puts power into the hands of the government. Governments do not give up power unless a court or foreign army forces them to.

The private prison industry is going to fight any drug law changes that put a crimp in their wallet.

And police departments are not going want to give up freebies that come with civil forfeiture.
