Some countries will not extradite a citizen of the theirs (dual nationality comes into play here), and countries in Europe will not extradite to the usa if the death penalty is an option.

No place is "exactly a utopia", but the issue was the media being blamed as the root cause of the partisan duopoly in the US, which is pretty clearly not the case.

OTOH, systems with greater proportionality in representation also tend to have higher public opinion of how well the local government works, which is probably not coincidental; for a good general survey, see Lijphart's Patterns of Democracy.

I had a somewhat similar experience. I was using PHP for many, many years and after hearing all the fuzz about Ruby/Rails I tried to learned it but it didn't really click with me. However, when I tried Python/Django I was immediately hooked. The main deciding factors were Django admin site and the (cleaner than Ruby) Python syntax.

Django admin site is still my favourite feature.
> It currently supports a large subset of ANSI SQL, including joins, left/right outer joins, subqueries,and most of the common aggregate and scalar functions, including approximate distinct counts (using HyperLogLog) and approximate percentiles (based on quantile digest). The main restrictions at this stage are a size limitation on the join tables and cardinality of unique keys/groups. The system also lacks the ability to write output data back to tables (currently query results are streamed to the client).

ImageMagick can do this too:

convert -filter Sinc -resize 200% input.png output.png

However, as pointed out by other commenters, sinc by itself isn't the greatest support function for enlargement due to the ringing artifacts [0]. Which are pretty visible in your example image [1].

ImageMagick has way more documentation on the choice of resize filter than you'll ever need [2]. But it's interesting reading nonetheless; they settled on different default filters for shrinking (Lanczos) and enlargement (Mitchell).

you can also try to apply a smoothening function: Usually multiplying by a gaussian in phase space will do, but this will cause your image to be blurred. What would be really impressive is if you could interpolate a pattern in the high frequency signal, and use it to "infer" values for your high frequency padding that "naturally cancel out" ringing to below the resolution of the imag.e

Even though the space for the small labels is there the whole time, I think this approach is better than having the small labels visible the entire time. Consider if the labels were tiny and always visible: the form would contain very tiny text and odd spaces where the existing placeholder should be.

Gray placeholder text also provides the needed contrast with the black user-entered text, so as not to confuse the two types of large text.

The animation is very clean as well.
This article spends a lot of time blaming things that cannot be changed. There is only one thing that causes hunger; not enough food. It doesn't matter if America has so much food that millions suffer from obesity. Somewhere else, where it costs too much to send food from America, there are people with not enough food, therefore they are hungry.

And as we should all know, organisms under stress, breed. Therefore, anywhere that people are hungry, the population will grow faster than places where there is too much food. No matter how much food you give to these poor people, they will grow their population to once again blow the limit of the capacity of their corner of the world to supple them with enough food.

Whose fault is that? Part of the blaim lies with enlightened rich countries who sent so much health care to these deprived areas that their death rate could no longer maintain any kind of equilibrium. And some of the fault is with rich countries who sent luxuries that these poor people could not afford. And some of the fault is elsewhere and neither you nor I will be able to figure it out.

Best thing to do is to simply ignore this stuff. You cannot help and history shows that you are likely to just make things worse. If you really want to help then focus on yourself, your life and your community. Build a sustainable local lifestyle for yourself and show the poor deprived starving people that it can be done.
I have fasted for 2 weeks. I think that for a young healthy human one week will rarely cause problems. But after the first week I was permanently cold on the inside (I am a person that never wears long sleeves or jacket even if it is -10 Celsius outside) so I said - enough for now.

Medical supervision - whatever makes you feel best - if you will be calmer with having someone check you daily go for it.

Fasting is something that is individual - I have had involuntarily fast lasting 72-96 hours while playing diablo. But I have friends that cannot get a single afternoon without food - they fainted.

A good test is 18 hour inteminent fast, then cut your teeth with 32 hour one (you eat dinner on Monday before going to bed and next meal is Wednesday breakfast) - if you feel anything than hunger and some psychological discomfort - maybe it is not for you.

To be more clear: a sinc reconstruction is correct in the sense that if the original signal was bandlimited before being sampled, the sinc reconstruction will perfectly reproduce the bandlimited input signal. All other reconstructions can produce aliasing (how much and whether it is objectionable obviously depends on the input signal).
In cases where the original signal was not bandlimited concepts like "perceptually optimal" come into play and a different reconstruction filter may be preferable.

A conspiracy theorist seems to be an investigative journalist or a social critic with poor epistemology.

I have noticed over the years that the concretes reported upon and the trends pointed out by conspiracy theorists -- even some of the wackier ones -- have a pretty good hit rate. The paranoid are often very perceptive. It's in the theory department that they fall down, imagining wild and unlikely scenarios to account for things that boil down to simple elite deviance, oligarchy, political opportunism, and corruption.

Most of them also have a political, religious, or ethnic bone to pick and try to ascribe all the wrongs of the world to some hated group.

But as I said... they're often right about the concretes.

It's sad times we live in when unstable nutjobs are the only ones pointing out our obvious descent toward naked plutocratic oligarchy and gangster-statism.

Well nutjobs and comedians... what was that quote about the state of a society when only comedians can tell the truth?
> In iWork '09, there's a "Share" menu. It has a few different output formats (PDF, Word, etc). When you click an output format, it exports to an attachment and automatically opens Mail.

The new iWork apps have a Share menu. It has all the same options as before, but it can also send just a link to the document. Using the latter option, the recipient can choose to open the document in whatever format they desire and to open it in an iWork app or on the web. Even web users can edit the document and send it back to you as an iWork file (and other file formats.)

Here are some screenshots: (iWork 5 in Mavericks)

Even so, Everpix is a tool that literally everyone needs -- organization, deduplication, backup, and daily refreshers of all your photos. I was contemplating buying a subscription for my elderly mother, since she has no idea where her pictures are or how to access them. To say nothing of the rest of my social network.

Maybe I'm still in mourning, but if I ran a VC fund, Everpix seems like a sure investment. You certainly had much more potential for growth -- and steady revenue -- than another Instagram clone or internet radio service. And once your growth eclipsed your fixed costs (which could have been reduced further by running your own servers when you reached an appropriate size), you'd be consistently profitable. And since Everpix provided such a valuable service, your customers would advertise on your behalf.

However, even I discovered Everpix only a few weeks ago, just before The Verge published a write-up about cloud photo backups -- and crowned Everpix the winner. You were just reaching a critical mass of followers... I can't help but think Everpix would have been a wild success if it stuck around for just another year.
There is also a big divide between statistical rigor in "science" research and "medical" research. In their defense, I think it's just extremely difficult for most medical research studies to get the kinds of random or N needed for reliable statistics.

Also regarding John Ioannidis's essay (not paper):

First, he uses the blanket term "research" in his meta-analysis (or at least examples) but his work seems focused primarily on medical research studies. Second, I'm not sure he clearly defines what it means to be "False", or for "most" published research to be "false".

Let's say there is clearly a right and a wrong answer to a question, and up until yesterday, publications A, B and C had concluded the wrong answer. But someone releases a newer, more rigorous finding D that refutes A, B and C conclusively and choses the correct answer. I wouldn't consider this particular field to be 75% wrong after the publication of D. (Though it accurately could have been described as close to 0% conclusive before D). For any particular line of inquiry, the quality of research in this area seems like it should be shifted strongly toward the maximum exemplar of this body of work, and not it's average.
This looks amazing! I like how it will keep track of how much time I'm spending on something. Should make it a lot easier to log time correctly.

I agree although there's a continuum from Fourier to Cooley-Tukey and so on so it's hard to pinpoint which part is the most important.

If your startup lawyer deals straight with you, gives you honest estimates, bills for time actually spent, uses good judgment in managing the legal time spent on your matter, avoids duplicative billing, is willing to deal fairly with situations when you question a billing item and have reasonable reasons for doing so, and, of course, does the job right and is a good lawyer to work with, then be thankful and do not quibble around the edges about things such .1 billing increments, small expense items advanced and expected to be reimbursed, and the like.

Remember that lawyers are in business too and want to devote their efforts where they will be most rewarded and appreciated. While that certainly doesn't mean cheating a client, it does mean dealing with clients who see the lawyer as a trusted ally and not as an adversary and who will not be nibbling at the ankles with every step a lawyer takes.

In dealing with any lawyer, watch out for padded bills that have vague descriptions of what was done, beware getting billed for substantial amounts of lawyer learning time, scrutinize all cases where double billing might be involved, make sure billing rates match your needs as a company (big firm vs. small firm), try always to get estimates in advance, negotiate fixed fees or caps where appropriate, get timely bills sent to you, review the bills carefully, and question billing items that don't look right. As concerns lawyer billing, those are the big items. If you pay attention to those, you will maximize your chances of getting good value from the firm and minimize the risk of abuses. Beyond that, you normally can ignore the small or trivial points. Remember that it is a professional relationship and mutual trust should be the order of the day. If it is not, then maybe it should not be maintained as a continuing relationship.
> systems with greater proportionality in representation also tend to have higher public opinion of how well the local government works

Maybe they tend to, but when they drew that graph, Italy is definitely an outlier. People are not at all fond of how the government works, putting it mildly!

Very proportional systems have large problems of their own too, including all the "horse trading" that goes on to form a coalition. This can and does involve a party that got, say 10%, driving a very hard bargain with the party that got 45%, giving far more relative weight to the people who voted for the 10% party.

You're right that the media is not The Problem, no argument there.
Could you share a bit more information about how well it works for you ? Are you making an income comparable with a 'decent' corporate job (eg. 100K + a year) ?
Any chance you could chuck those on a gist? Sounds mighty handy!
I doubt he was talking about Fatah (maybe you were being sarcastic), I assume he's talking about the US, making the comparison that the US has waged wars around the world and made many American businesses very rich in the process (defence contractors in particular).

I don't agree with the statement, but I think that may be what he is saying.
This is crazy thinking. Famous people do typically have access to better medical care, through personal wealth or the goodwill of their supporters, but you seem to think that power/celebrity confers immunity from disease and misadventure. It lowers the risk, is all.

This does not mean I disagree with the findings of this report, not least because I haven't read it yet. It's entirely plausible that Arafat could have been murdered...but considering that he was a thorn in Israel's side for around 40 years, you're in no position to talk about him dying at an opportune time. I'm sure there were people who wanted to assassinate him over the last several decades. For the last 2 years of his life he was effectively under house arrest by the Israeli army, so why wait 2? Is there something terribly unusual about 75-year old men dying? Hardly. It's certainly possible that he was assassinated, but by your logic we should also be investigating the death of counterculture icon Lou Reed, who was a mere 71.

Also it's rain, not reign.
Holy shit! I have no idea how you can code to that music, but thank you for expanding my horizons. There are some great tunes there!

Thanks, there shouldn't be a price difference between the FastSpring store and the MAS. The FastSpring store is for people who want to make volume purchases. Or people who want a faster update track rather than waiting for the MAS approval times.
Should Anyone Be Able To Take A Job Anywhere?
>> it's not at the point where it would be realistic to have them say "here is a list of a few hundred usernames from SilkRoad spread out all over North America. Find them and murder them all."

This is not exact, unfortunately, because it depends also on some other factors. If the drug lords decide that they want to impose the fact that they don't accept opposition, they are actually going to do exactly that. They've done it already for several bloggers, it would make little difference if they decided to do it for the little indipendent dealers.

Keep in mind that in order to take out a few hundred independent dealears, they only need to torture and kill a few, and have the word spread.
I'm unfamiliar with Brazil drug operations. But certainly these other crimes have significantly less profit/risk than the huge markup on illegal drugs?

If they are properly legalized, the price should plummet. So even stealing or going wholesale is far less lucrative. You can already steal other goods. You could hijack a shipment of beer - but end-users aren't going to pay $15 a bottle for it because the normal price is known to be far less. So even if these organizations moved into theft, they wouldn't be able to finance huge armies anymore.

I'd also note that stealing does not have a cost of zero. You need to finance people to attack, pay for their weapons, etc. And the cap on pricing means even if stealing was cheaper, the absolute profit still won't be as high, overall.

Unless Brazil has a problem with criminal gangs already monopolizing distribution of other goods (like aspirin, tabacco, or alcohol), it seems like a stretch to say they'd do this for drugs.

Even in the US, people have been killed in hijackings of trucks containing Intel processors.
