I have long wanted to see a completely straightforward, all-in-one-place explanation of these topics. It could start with the question: "Aren't we divided into men and women?" Then it would briefly describe the levels on which this duality is thought to occur: genetics, development, anatomy, sexuality, and psychology.

Then it would describe the non-dual aspects of each level (XYY for genetics) and the way in which each level can "mis-match" with the others. On the 'bottom' levels like genetics and anatomy, most people are willing to believe the non-theoretical and purely evidence-based science about 'unusual' arrangements.

Once these things have been established as perfectly understandable, it becomes easier to believe that someone might self-identify as a different gender than their genetics or anatomy indicates. Or that the psychological identities might not be strictly divided into male and female.

Does something like this exist? The "but we're all men and women" argument is so common, and the knowledge about each individual way in which someone can differ from this norm is so scattered, it would be great to have it all in one place.

I think this is a very good idea. The point about being interested in programming way before you ever considered learning English is the selling point for me.
Portuguese seems like a good starting language as well, well done (I'd like to see German added to the list though).

As long as it doesn't lead to more native language (from people that actually speak English) code I'm 100% on board. I come across code in German and French somewhat regularly and...yikes (unfortunately I know of quite a few universities that actually teach programming with native language class and method names and the like)
"Defunding", not "defending".
Their explanation would be good in static world - we give non-english speakers opportunity to be a part of global SO. But I'm afraid that in the future it will hurt main SO, since core community of each language will move to its own *.SO, leaving english section for native-only speakers.
Of course, maybe that won't be the case and I hope they will watch for negative effects.
English language as an intermediate for all programmers is a bliss. Imagine how it would be nice if all people had one language and there were no communication barriers (damn Babylonians :)
It's not possible in common case, but with programming we almost have it.
I agree, but what happens when you want to share just a part of the page, not the whole (for example, something on your tumblr dashboard)?

I think IE, of all things, had a feature a few releases back for exactly this scenario: a page could define some markup around the content that was shareable, and users could add browser plugins that picked them up and published them wherever they wanted. Does anyone remember what it was called?
Downright tacky.

If you turn down some of the CRT "fault" options to a more reasonable level (i.e., you emulate a CRT that isn't on it's last legs) Cathode is no worse than any other terminal app as far as eye strain goes, at least for me. And it's super nostalgic, at least for the occasional lark.

That would be valid if we were talking about some criminal justice program that Maine or any other state shared with Texas. Kinda like how the entire United States submits athletes to the make up the Olympic teams. Or how engineers and scientists from the entire country made up the Nasa team. The ENTIRE point was that Maine, Vermont, Ohio, Alaska, Florida, and of course Texas have separate, though similar Criminal justice programs. Nice straw-man attempt though.
Gluten aside, the trend away from bread is a good thing. For most people, the biggest problem with calorie control is eating enough to feel full. In terms of satiation, bread had poor bang for your buck. Do an expertiment: put together a 500 calorie meal at Chipotle with and without a bread component. Maybe three soft tacos with meat, salsa, no cheese or sour cream, versus a salad bowl with meat, cheese, salsa, and guacamole. For me, the former leaves me snacky before dinner. The latter leaves me full, even uncomfortably so at first, the whole afternoon.
But I still don't understand this part of the article:

While people with celiac disease genuinely can't process the gluten in wheat, they argue, most people actually can... The result can lead to all kinds of problems in our gut.

So, most people handle gluten just fine, but the article is still asserting that it causes gut problems?

The title seems to be link bait. What exactly is the gluten mystery this guy is solving? All I found in the article is that he is making whole wheat(%100) bread that has less gluten which as far as I can tell is not at all a mystery?
The language offers features so that you can use them well. Any bit of syntax can be abused. `))))))`, for example ;)

Optional braces around object literals allow you to write lines like this:

rectangle x: 10, y: 15, width: 500, height: 500

... and having newlines separate elements in lists makes a ton of sense in a language where whitespace is significant:

requires = [
"jquery"
"underscore"
"d3"
]

... and also helps with the famous trailing-comma-in-IE error and comma-first controversy.

If you're writing something that's convoluted enough that the features aren't helping you ... don't use 'em.
Las Vegas Sands websites remain down as Feds investigate hack
Laptop: Linux Mint 16. LM 8-12 were absolutely fantastic, everything worked (suspend, audio, video, mail, etc), and life was good. Went from 12 to 15, and things were a bit rockier. Suspend lost the X setting on waking, mail (evolution) borks a lot. Desperate for a better life, went to 16. Not great, but better. I use hibernate rather than suspend now, and evolution only occasionally fails (it's a keyring thing).

Netbook: Ubuntu LTS (12.10 I think). Thunderbird. Everything works (except, oddly, google chrome doesn't play video worth a crap- may be the old specs).

Servers: Debian Squeeze. Solid server distro.
According to http://www.ahrq.gov

In general, poor populations have reduced access to high-quality care. While people with low incomes are more likely to be uninsured, income-related differences in quality of care that are independent of health insurance coverage have also been demonstrated (Brown, et al., 2003).

Also this metric has increased over the years:

People without a usual source of care who indicated a financial or insurance reason for not having a source of care.

Maybe the author was unlucky and the responding unit was corrupt. They thought he was a rich guy, so maybe they were trying to ask for a bribe, without coming out and saying it in case he had a hidden cell phone recording audio?

No bribe, they give you as much brutality and poor treatment as they think they can get away with.

Then again, bribing the police is probably a crime worth a really long sentence, so I wouldn't have risked it even if I'd had the money.
Some inter-sexed people are fertile, but I don't think that's relevant to this discussion unless you also declare infertile cis-gendered people to be an invalid gender.
Government exists for all animals. It is an immutable fact of the universe. Ants have government. Termites have government. Naked mole rats have government. Wolves and caribou have government.

I certainly never said "no trucks over 3 tons" impinges anyone's liberty. I was implying that "no trucks over 3 tons" is equivalent to saying "no one is allowed to consume more than X amount of bandwidth" on my public pipe, which is exactly how the network providers are going to couch their arguments when trying to strangle Netflix.

He isn't because he often raises issues which aren't "on the agenda". So he'll make statements for instance about returning to the gold standard, or getting rid of all overseas military bases. These are not only radical suggestions, but they're also not things being discussed in the "national debate". So he comes off as not only radical, but out of touch with what people find important.

There is generally a feeling that Congress should be addressing issues that the people are concerned about. How, do you determine what concerns the people? You look through the insane prism of the media.

I have to concur with Ryan, but for slightly different reasons. For me, the biggest scaling concerns are not with efficient use of hardware, but with guaranteeing user experience. I can see how the actor model can ensure efficient use of hardware. I can also see how it could be leveraged to give responses to user input almost as fast as network latency will allow. I'm not yet sure that it will make performance monitoring or understanding performance bottlenecks any easier or that it won't make such activities more complicated.

Three things hurt him with the mainstream media.

First, he's not as savvy at manipulating the media with soundbytes as people like John McCain and Newt Gingrich. He always has a provocative answer to questions, though, so he's a regular on some news shows.

Second, his supporters are extemely loyal, but he's not that influential in his own party. In Republican presidential primaries, he rarely rose above 10% of the vote. His supporters lean libertarian and haven't traditionally been able to elect their candidates like the social conservatives and business conservatives have. He's probably not in the top 20 most influential people in his own party. Just off the top of my head, he's behind Limbaugh, Hannity, McConnell, Boehner, Cantor, O'Reilly, Perry, Cruz, Rubio, Gingrich, Santorum, Jindal, Rand Paul (his son), and Cornyn. He's probably also less influential than folks most people have never heard of like John Thune, Jim Lankford, Roy Blunt, Jan Brewer, Reince Preibus, Rick Scott, Sam Brownback, and John Kasich.

Third, his newsletters from the 80's and 90's are pretty racist and nasty. (The newsletters called Martin Luther King Jr. a pedophile among other things.) He has said lately that he didn't write or review those newsletters and has disavowed them.

Legally, yes. But it does demonstrate the will of the people. Next election I will vote for any candidate that will promise to pardon Snowden if elected. Somehow I am guessing my vote will be wasted, but so be it.
I agree. Any kind of English is way better then people asking questions without making their own effort first. If the language is not clear there will be comments asking for clarifications. Besides I have edited a couple of questions to try and improve grammar. Other people do the same. The world did not collapse.
I can relate to this too. This is why I lack participation in HN discussions even though I've been here for about 3 years and always checking HN regularly.
English is my third language and I barely speak it at home. So I still feel really uncomfortable and difficult to express my mind in English.
What I'm saying is, from a biological perspective, isn't sex determined by the gametes (which as far as I known, are two), regardless of vestigial organs, number of chromosomes, etc.? I think that's what caused the confusion on the parent about existing more than one sex (reproductive role); of course, by that measure, infertility is undetermined as it plays no role in reproduction.

> Yes, but unless I had some damage to my rotator cuff or something I would think it was possible.

It would be naive of us to think that we will 'surely" adapt to new skills. Circumstances can mean that you just don't have the ability to do such things anymore.

Is it "possible"? sure. But is it going to suck the life out of you? Most likely. Upgrading skills takes time, effort and resources. Most people (even in America) don't have enough of each of those.

Look at all these students with $200k debt. They've basically imprisoned themselves for a long time. Even a job that pays $100k (-35% tax -30% living expenses) does not cut it. Acquiring new skills with negative equity makes it harder for most people.
The lengths that Osama Bin Ladin had gone to, completely avoiding electronic communication, speaks to how much is already known or presumed about the NSA's capabilities.

That's a terrible idea. Menus shouldn't intentionally be designed to be user hostile. Instead just give a warning message, preferably one that is actually informative and appropriately scary looking.

There is a middle ground between letting any malware on the machine install whatever extensions it wants with no user consent, and banning users from installing extensions entirely.

I wish that some of the "post-mortem" reports I've seen were this good and detailed with problem, explaination, resolutions. I don't have a horse in this race so people affected probably feel differently.
No, let's use other languages for naming stuff in programming languages that support Unicode sources!
Right, but the problem here is you have to opt in to that. The most terse, simple way to express something is also the slowest.

Most classes have static shapes, so for the few types that are more dynamic, I think it makes sense for users to have to opt out.
I can't vouch for its technical accuracy, but that's terrifically made.

Unless you intend to go around feeling up people's crotches -- which, even setting aside the absurdity, is an incomplete solution -- it's probably a lot simpler to just call people what they want to be called.

There is some evidence that brain chemistry is influenced by diet and dietary changes can help with depression. For example: http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/depression/exp...

That fits with my experience. I have to be very careful with peanut oil, for example. It does terrible things to me.

So, in short, it is possible that depression and other mental illness has biological roots. There are also social factors and other factors, but in some sense mental illness may well be a medical illness.

Many people have said it and I'll emphasize: To the extent possible, ISPs should not be doing layer 7/deep packet inspection. They carry traffic. They shouldn't filter. Not only is it unethical, but it's impractical for providers.
"So I need two wallets? One that I keep with a <bitcoin-bank> for small purchases that need to clear quickly and one that I keep for larger purchases. That doesn't sound practical."

Really? You currently do this with traditional banking, you have checking, savings and sometimes even more subaccounts yet you don't look at that as convoluted.
I strongly prefer static site generation (in all their flavors, but Harp.js is my current poison). But I live in a world where the technically challenged need to author content and make minor changes.

"Best of breed" (whatever that means) suggests Drupal and like are the route to go, but it is difficult for me to justify the hosting costs, monitoring, and whatnot required for a dynamic content server for largely static content.

I have lately been dreaming of a poor man's CMS and workflow and I now see something like the linked AngularJS Form builder can play a role.

* Static site generator leveraging JSON files to hold content. Most SSGs support JSON data in templates.

* Standalone dynamic server to fulfill the need to provide a more accessible UI to create content.

* Content types are created using a form builder. No need for anything pretty, we're just creating content.

* Content instances are created using resulting form.

* Preview content.

* When content author is ready, submit for approval.

* Everything backed by Git (revision all the things) with support for branches, tags, forking... authoring content creates a branch. Submitting for approval is a pull request. Deploying tags the version, generates the static site, and pushes to S3/CloudFront.

Does something like this exist? I should probably just prototype it.
Holy crap. Am I reading this correctly? Is this really a patent for running learning algorithms on the GPU?
