I don't care much for Herbalife, but people like this disgust me, covering up a naked profit grab with an air of concern for others. Pathetic. Do it without making a profit and I might listen or even agree with you. Do it for the money and it's clear you don't care a whit what happens as long as your profit is assured. But historically wealthy business people have always convinced, conned or even bribed people (you can bribe people without money) to get what they want. Think late 19th century "robber barons". It's nothing new today, except lobbying is even easier since it's also a big business today. Not a big fan of Icahn either, he bets on companies and then uses any means necessary to force the company to do what he wants in order to profit. The spirit of Rockefeller lives on.

I removed the processor, applied fresh thermal paste with a copper shim & gave it the oven + hair dryer treatment. It worked for a while but failed again. Not worth wasting time on it. It's better to ebay it for parts.

They are the epitome of open world. Honestly, though, I haven't found one that gets the immersion right. Minecraft is too schizophrenic and sparse on features, Terraria was really good about this but only 2D and also more of an RPG. King Athur's Gold is purely about environment interaction.

I'd like to see a game that properly develops the non-block mechanics for the world in a consistent fashion.

>I'd go so far as to say that if Paul Graham was in the business of funding hedge fund managers, Ackman would be one of his top picks from the applicant pool.

You lost me here.

Also, investing with Ackman is a terrible idea. His presentations are convincing and I agree that Herbalife's business model looks shady at best but I don't see things changing anytime soon.

> I really don't think he is stupid enough to want to lose more money just to stroke his ego.

At the risk of a cliche, it really isn't about money any more. When Icahn gets involved and we get to witness the CNBC equivalent of a schoolyard brawl on live tv, it's not about what's best for their investors.
Yes, certainly as you say, which is what concerns me - the notion that types are something that is best buried, by an influx of new users.

And certainly - the case of auto x = T(); is not too bad. It's when the type is determined by template overload, or Koenig lookup, or template traits, that it becomes murky. It will take years for tool to catch up - now when I put my cursor on a variable, it will show me the type in the status bar. For the first few years this will always show 'auto' I'm afraid. In other languages, a collection is a collection (mostly) - in C++ it depends on whether you use a vector, set, hash or list what methods are available. That's quite a difference, from a programming comfort point of view.

> Me, being skeptical of the theory, I still choose to concatenate (I think it's clearly the way to go)

I have to agree with you. Seeing how my non techy friends use their not high end mobiles, I've decided to go down that road too.

Some of my friends clear cache very frequently, their main point is that images take too much room and this slows device down. Knowing that this is not the case and cheap phones just are slow, they pretty much defeat the whole purpose of cache. I've found that the only way to make web faster for them is to concatenate everything.
This is a crime that explicitly takes place across country borders. You're saying that the trial should take place in the perpetrator's country, rather than the victims' country. Why do you assume that is somehow more just?

Note that I'm not saying it should be, just that it's a sufficiently complex issue that to just be dismissive, "Oh, there America goes again, being the world police" seems to miss the fact that the millions of victims of this persons actions are all in the US.
...of course, the radiation levels have been in the "normal" zone for Tokyo since a week or two after the accident. It looks like the levels have been below background for (say) New York City as well.

A bigger concern than air radiation in Tokyo is the contamination of food -- the worst-hit areas of Japan also happen to be the major farming regions of the country. People are probably more worried about consuming food grown in cesium-contaminated soil than air contamination in the middle of Tokyo.
I've kicked around the idea of translating machine code to LLVM assembly code specifically to do things like this.

I actually got as far as creating a GitHub repo to work on this <https://github.com/wtracy/recompile> but my code never got farther than some logic for parsing ELF headers.
The CMB is "so far away" that the largest structures that you can think of are still incredibly tiny points against the CMB. We can tell it's not being blocked by normal matter, because we know what that looks like. If you want to hypothesize other possible effects, well, join the club; that's a popular cosmologist past time, but bear in mind that in addition to explaining the lumps, your new hypothesis must actually explain the non-lumps, and everything else as well. This turns out to be a pretty big hurdle.

Furthermore, we're not measuring "things", we're measuring temperature. If a "thing" was blocking the CMB, it would do so by being a hotter thing. Thus, a "thing" can't create a cold spot just by obscuring the CMB... it can only create a hot spot, relative to the CMB.

Another place you can see this is in "dark matter" replacement theories. As unsatisfying as an invisible, undetectable particle is to answer the questions about the universe, it isn't enough to just explain one or two subquestions; you need to provide a better explanation of everything we see, including the places where it really, really looks like dark matter is the only feasible explanation (where galaxies collide and the visible matter appears to have gotten detacted from the dark matter halos, as seen by gravitational distortions, which is really hard to explain with any of the alternate theories).

It's "easy" to beat the consensus on one detail; it's proved pretty hard to beat the consensus across the board, even as the consensus is known by everybody to be unsatisfactory in some ways.

Seems like lots of programmers despise advertising. It is an example of irrational religious behaviour, the very thing they claim to oppose.

How much of advanced technology was forgotten and eventually reinvented due to the lack of proper advertising?

Lisp and Smalltalk contained lots of ideas that made Wolfram products possible. Hackers who appreciate those ideas should probably be excited that a successful entrepreneur exists who makes larger audiences familiar with them at last.
Was it this watered down when the program began? If so, I start to wonder, "Why bother?"

Ahhh, I'm so jealous! I watched every race of the final series of the AC last year, but you couldn't really get a sense of the speed of the boats from the broadcast - there weren't enough shots of the boats taken from a static point of view, and even when there were such shots, you couldn't really get a feel for how far away the boats were - in particular the AC72 is so much bigger than most cats that people that watch a lot of sailing can find them fooled by the scale!

Nice.
Physics is a strange and wonderful science. The more we learn the more we realize we don't understand. I've always believed that there are features of the the structure of the universe(s) that we have no idea even exist yet. It's like bringing Newton from the past, dropping him in an open field, and telling him he is surrounded by wireless communications. He'd have no clue what that meant. Likewise we are likely surrounded by things we don't have the background yet to recognize.
It seems remarkably similar. Professional services is professional services. In ad agencies, a star can always walk too.

For start why is long distance flight 10x cheaper than train?

Air planes require much less personnel and have no tracks. Trains are still in 60ies with fat unions and zero innovations. Also how is 50 ton airplane less efficient than 5000 ton train?

And if train takes 5 days instead of 5 hours, you should also count in the foot print of person who is traveling. In one sleeping coupe you could fit 6 aircraft passengers...

Sure airplanes do make traveling easier, but that does not make them less efficient.
This is more fun: we have an extraordinary living specimen that demonstrate the effect in action: Michael Phelps

Breakfast: Three fried-egg sandwiches loaded with cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, fried onions and mayonnaise. Two cups of coffee. One five-egg omelet. One bowl of grits. Three slices of French toast topped with powdered sugar. Three chocolate-chip pancakes.

Lunch: One pound of enriched pasta. Two large ham and cheese sandwiches with mayo on white bread. Energy drinks packing 1,000 calories.

Dinner: One pound of pasta. An entire pizza. More energy drinks.
A lot of the questions in the science are about whether an unsupervised person adding exercise will end up with a calorie deficit.

There's no one serious that questions calories in vs calories out, but there are lots of people who question whether it is the right place to start, because of things like measurement difficulty and the relative unlikeliness of adherence to a given diet/exercise regime.

"“I wouldn’t have come here then,” said the 28-year-old German native after touring Tokyo’s Imperial Palace on Friday. “But now I have friends here and they are fine, so I guess I’m fine too. I don’t fear it at the moment.”

He mentions FastCoin as a fast-clearing currency. Bitcoin's confirmations are slow for the sake of security.

When I visited Sweden I spoke with a friend there who had been born and raised way up in the north of Sweden. He said the people there would bury and ferment all sorts of things, including seal meat, whale blubber, and birds sewn into seal skins. I can understand how such a tradition would arise, as an effective way to store food in the wild safe from predators, though it's hard to imagine digging that up after six months and chowing down on it.

Well, at that point, it's really just a matter of opinion.

I don't have much interest in a lengthy argument about this, but FYI, the term "Responsive Web Design" was coined by Ethan Marcotte in an article for A List Apart in May 2010[1]. What it means is only a No True Scotsman type of argument if you choose to ignore the original source, or maybe if you want to argue about whether "responsive web design" and "Responsive Web Design" mean different things, neither of which seems particularly constructive.

Yes; specific military plans. Study the details of the Normandy invasion for one of the clearest examples in history. Specific capabilities of military hardware is another example.

Mind you, I don't disagree that some unsavory things get hidden behind that curtain. I wouldn't even disagree that the majority of things hidden behind that curtain in modern times may be unsavory. Unfortuantely, the solution isn't as simple as just removing the curtain.

I find regular expressions intensely annoying. I come across situations where they are a perfect fit, but, as I've never got around to learning the syntax I spend ages looking for a perfect, or sometimes not so perfect, answer on SO that gives me the arrangement. More often than not, in order to tweak the answer to make it fit I find myself in the position of having to learn the syntax in order to do so. Catch 22.

It seems there are no shortcuts and you can't practice cut and paste.

Note to self. Learn the syntax.
It's not that different than engineering. For the associates, it's 2400-3000 hours a year billable. They work from when they wake up until they go to bed.

If they're lucky enough to make it to partner, they frequently still have huge billing expectations. If they don't pull in clients, they're gone. And if there is a down year before they make it to partner, they can easily get sacked. 80% of law grads are clawing to get these jobs, and the ones who don't wind up underpaid with massive debt.

Compare this to engineering... The median workers do well. The lifestyle isn't that awful. The CEO and top salespeople are still the best paid people in most technology firms.
But none of those techniques is applicable to variations in the CMB (the subject of this article), which is a more or less uniform glow at constant (and in some sense, maximal) redshift (and by definition, behind the "background" stars).

I suppose that if this "axis of evil" were due to a pattern in nearby dust clouds we might be able to see some hints of paralax, but paralax would probably be difficult to measure for something as diffuse and broad as the pattern visible in this data.

It's my impression, for the record, that cosmologists are pretty confident that these variations aren't due to intervening dust. My sense is that the spectrum of the CMB in any given direction is very clearly a blackbody spectrum (the most precise blackbody spectrum in nature, in fact), so any absorption due to foreground matter should be pretty recognizable (and possibly even something they could correct for).
Agreed, but 55 minutes isn't going to make anyone a master of anything. The title is honest.
He's not enacting a law to prohibit anyone's speech. He's simply requesting that SXSW use "discretion" in its own speech. Although this isn't the best analogy, it's like a concerned parent writing a letter to a magazine asking them to refrain from publishing borderline obscene content. When TV/radio personalities get their shows cancelled over inappropriate comments, that's not a violation of free speech. In fact, it's an affirmation of free speech--the network doesn't want to tarnish its brand.
Maybe because the background radiation is just one of many, many contributing causes of cancer?

For instance, airline pilots are exposed to more radiation than the average worker. But they also have a low percentage of smokers, and in order to keep their medical license they need to be in fairly good health. So, apart from skin cancer, they have lower than average rates of cancer compared to the general population:

As has been said by the Carl June who did the pioneering work at UPen, this is like a targeted, safer version of a bone marrow transplant.

The problem is generalising this to every type of cancer. You need a target that is widely expressed on the cancer cell, and that isn't found on other important tissues. This is the case (sort of - it still destroys all the healthy B-cells, which as it turns out, doesn't cause TOO many problems) for CD19 which the T-cells are aimed at in this study. For solid tumours like lung cancer, breast cancer, colon cancer etc it will probably be much harder to find a similarly useful target. But they are trying:

I believe the Secret Service called jurisdiction because the crimes were committed against American citizens. He specifically only sold information about residents and citizens of the United States. The Secret Service in that case believe they had reason to investigate crimes against their citizens. I'm not agreeing or disagreeing that it is "right" but I can surely see where they are coming from. Not exactly trying to be World Police in this situation, but investigating crimes against their own citizens.

We are almost there with other devices; a phone size tablet with a clamshell keyboard would do, especially if you can hook up a game keyboard, normal keyboard and mix. Problems are; 1) there are none which qualify, both tablets and keyboards; somehow clamshell, you know, the battle tested way of doing keyboards, is not something which caught on on tablets (except Clamcase I guess) :) And why can't I buy a phone sized tablet without the GSM crap in it; that would/should be tons cheaper than buying a phone 2) they are not open as the pandora. I don't really want to be stuck with Android, iOS or Win; some Linux with a complete desktop env please.

the notion that types are something that is best buried

that was not really my claim though - types should not be buried in C++. Either the context should be clear enough to know what type it is. Or, like for lots of template code, the type simply should not matter. Obviously in those cases auto shines. In other words: if the code is written properly it shouldn't matter if auto is used or not. (and in my experience if all your functions are nice and short, as they should be 99% of the time)

You do have a good point about the tooling though (which tooling is it you use btw? Haven't used anything but VS lately, and it's ok for the way I use it, but I can imagine having to go from clearly seeing all types to not being able to is an awful experience)
If the point is to perform dead code elimination, why would you declare it as an extern? It seems reasonable to me to just treat it as another of your javascript files to be included in the compilation run.

Excuse my ignorance here; I wanted to get into LLVM more but never did. Don't you have: frontends which do Language => LLVM intermediate code and backends which do LLVM code => native ? So you were writing a frontend which could do x86 => LLVM code and then it can compile to ARM, x86, JS etc?

Sounds like a HUGE undertaking (esp for one person) but worth it; once you have that frontend (if my assumptions are correct), you would be able to have a lot of fun.
