Hmm... so what's the deal with the, for lack of better terms, ex-parte hearing Yale put her through?

If the hospital is an unrelated medical institution, how did her medical history get released to the school? Is this even legal?

Also, IIUC, the psychiatrist who told her "we can't have you here" was employed at the hospital, not the university?

In short, there seems to be some type of relationship between the hospital and the university.
I should also point out that, after my initial conversion to Christianity, "how I feel about it" is basically not a factor in what I believe.

There are many times when I felt miserable and strongly wished I wasn't a Christian anymore. But I couldn't just choose to disbelieve in something that my research had convinced me was objectively true.

All of this causes people to get the wrong idea about AWS.

People aren't attracted to AWS because it is cheap, they are attracted to it for other reasons. When I left Softlayer, the retention specialist I talked to told me that AWS didn't give me free bandwidth, but I told him I wasn't worried about bandwidth costs on AWS because these scaled with my revenue and were a small fraction of it.
A note: This is not about standard quantum theory, but about GRW theories.

Basically it's an ad-hoc modification of quantum theory, in which you postulate that the wave function collapses at random with some probability.

As long as you say the probability is low enough, the theory is not really experimentally verifiable. (Currently there is no experimental evidence for GRW type theories.)

> Psychiatric services are just one more Health benefit.

Right. AFAIK Yale has those, and is where the gal went. And they made the decision "this is too serious for us" and sent her to Yale-New Haven, which has a real psych ward.

I am sure Yale has counseling/Health Services for non-clinical depression/etc., but I don't think people appreciate the environment you need for patients with active, dangerous psychiatric illnesses (harmful thoughts/etc.) who are actively going through med changes, that may actually worsen their condition before the right balance is found.

No way Yale, or any college, is going to have those facilities. They sent her to specialists, which was the right thing to do.

Keeping her at Yale under the care of people who are not trained/equipped to help her, would have been worse.

E.g. Yale probably has nurses/doctors to apply bandages, prescribe basic meds, etc., but would you get cancer treatment there? They can't provide everything.

> What are you trying to communicate with here?

I was admittedly being sarcastic and trying to point out the guy was, IMO, bragging about his Yale degree, and talking about the "brand" he paid for, when it really didn't change my point that you don't pay any college, Ivy League or otherwise, expecting that they'll also help you through your serious psychiatric illness while you're there.
Where in the flow above would you put items like: "Make sure that Google Authorship is set up?" Surely, you can't argue that this wouldn't help your content if implemented correctly. There is a long list of similar technical SEO items that smart publishers cover with every new article.

Your sentiment is just a reflection of the damage that SEO snake oil salesmen have created in our industry. These days, everyone claims to be a knowledgable SEO, and there are no straight forward ways to prove that (unlike, say, when you say "I know a lot about natural language processing"). Don't throw out the baby with the bathwater - good SEOs are still generating a ton of value at the top companies in the world.
This is a route leak, plain and simple. Don't forget to apply Occam's Razor. All of those sites which are "coincidentally" misbehaving are located in the same /24.

This is what is actually happening. Virgin Media peers with Cogent. Virgin prefers routes from peers over transit. Cogent is turrible at provisioning and filtering, and is a large international transit provider.

Let's look at the route from Cogent's perspective:

BGP routing table entry for 199.58.210.0/24, version 2031309347
Paths: (1 available, best #1, table Default-IP-Routing-Table)
54098 11557 4436 40015 54876
38.122.66.186 (metric 10105011) from 154.54.66.76 (154.54.66.76)
Origin incomplete, metric 0, localpref 130, valid, internal, best
Community: 174:3092 174:10031 174:20999 174:21001 174:22013

If Cogent was competent at filtering, they'd never learn a route transiting 4436 via a customer port in the first place, but most likely someone at Lionlink (54098) is leaking from one of their transit providers (Sidera, 11557) to another (Cogent, 174).

Also, traffic passing through Switzerland is a red herring -- the poster is using a geoip database to look up where a Cogent router is. GeoIP databases are typically populated by user activity, e.g., mobile devices phoning home to get wifi-based location, credit card txns, etc. None of this traffic comes from a ptp interface address on a core router. GeoIP databases tend to have a resolution of about a /24, whereas infrastructure netblocks tend to be chopped up into /30s or /31s for ptp links and /32s for loopbacks, so two adjacent /32s could physically be located in wildly different parts of the world. More than likely, that IP address was previously assigned to a customer. The more accurate source of information would be the router's hostname, which clearly indicates that it is in London. The handoff between Virgin and Cogent almost certainly happens at Telehouse in the Docklands.

If someone were, in fact, trying to intercept your traffic, they could almost certainly do so without you noticing (at least at layer 3.)

April Fool Pranks in Sun Microsystems Over the Years
Unfortunately the Iris Pro comes with a much higher TDP, which means significantly shorter battery life and higher heat dissipation needs than all the other Haswell i5/i7 parts (47W vs 15 or 28). You won't find it in an ultrabook due to the heat, and you won't get the battery life benefits Haswell brought over previous architectures. The non-Pro Iris part is the better compromise IMO; you can find it in the thin-and-light form factor, it's much lower power so you can still get 6-8 hours of battery life, and it's still fast enough for most new games.

It sounds like you're addressing general prosperity, but I'm talking about individual opportunity. There's been plenty of articles and books about the wealth divide in the U.S., the permanent underclass of mostly Black and Latino poor who have had trouble rising out of poverty, the decline in the quality and the power of education to uplift people economically, the decline of the white blue collar working class, etc.

But for individual entrepreneurial opportunity, I would maintain that the U.S. is still a top destination. Entrepreneurship is essentially disruptive. Is entrepreneurial activity in Sweden as active as it is in the U.S.? In years past, it was not; perhaps things have changed.
Please don't spread lies..
I didn't hear about the Swedish ISP news, but League of Legends actually does have a bit torrent client installed with it (Pando Media Booster), and I believe League of Legends has much larger user base and similar if not larger profits than WoW.

Both websites hitb.org (199.58.210.36) and thc.org (199.58.210.16) have A records part of the Rokabear's CIDR 199.58.208.0/21 and some IPs in that block are responding as expected i.e. 199.58.208.36 and 199.58.215.36

However not a single IP in the range 199.58.210.0/24 responds to ICMP or TCP probes. My only guess is this is more likely a faulty or misconfig router.

The whole point of BSD-style licenses is that there is hardly anything to enforce at all. With such a license you are simply stating that you allow the receiver to do whatever they want with it. This statement is just necessary because by default under the copyright law no rights (with some exceptions such as fair use etc., it depends on jurisdiction) are granted to entities receiving the work.

Part of the problem is Google's stinginess over bandwidth. They keep hiding the stream quality option more and more (referring to Google Play Music as well as Youtube) and they are literally RUINING the music. I've had to put HOURS of manual effort into changing stream quality on Google's products.

If it could be explained in a HN comment, I think there would be many more Christians in the world. That's why there are whole books written on the subject. The only one I still own is The Handbook of Christian Apologetics[1][2] so that's the only one I can recommend.

But it does require some faith, just not blind or unreasoning faith, as most people seem to think.

I suspect that in the US in particular, doctors are also hesitant to give specific numbers or statistics for fear of the abusively litigious nature of our system.
It's more the idea that prosecutors are using their power to hold evidence and resources against innocent defendants (you're innocent until proven guilty). Worse, they're planting "evidence" to get their way - this isn't a land of the free.

Even though I agree that China and the US are still different in their justice systems, I believe the lines between them are blurring, and eventually we will find it hard to distinguish the difference. Or maybe, the US has always been like that (unjust), but just really good at marketing (via Hollywood)

As a fellow Catholic, I would instead recommend The Handbook of Catholic Apologetics[1] by the same author. It's basically the same book, but with an additional ~40 pages about Catholicism. I admit they're not the best apologetics for Catholicism out there, but it's not much of a price difference. Also, this is the one I have.

I wouldn't say it's the same experience. Youtube is cluttered and music is a side offering, primarily in the form of music videos. Song-only videos have been notorious for being posted by somebody other than the owner and not existing reliably (copy infringement). Soundcloud makes a home for your song that can be shared forever, is pleasant to visit, and links you to tons of related music and explore the musical interests of other people that like that music.

> What if, when you were up at a ridiculous hour Skyping your relatives in Australia, you could borrow unused bandwidth from your sleeping neighbors to make your own broadband connection faster and stronger?

Maybe this makes sense if you're lucky enough to have FiOS (which gives you a dedicated line). For me (a Time Warner customer), this is already the case. Except, it's not "borrowing" so much as it is "stealing".

Technically, I should have 2.5MB/s down (20Mb/s is what I pay for), but in reality, I'm often lucky to get 1MB/s, because my neighbors are using the Internet and watching Netflix, etc. And I have never observed more than 2.5MB/s, so it doesn't average out.

Theoretically, this should already be illegal, but it's still very common in practice.

For this inconsistent connection (and no other services!), I am forced to pay over $50/month.

Edit: Updated - I pay for 20Mb/s, not 15Mb/s.

Valid question. All I can say is "it's complicated". I'm pretty content with where things stand though.
