Your experience with the Cherry Blossom 10 miler or other marathons doesn't necessarily transfer over to the Boston Marathon. According to the Cherry Blossom rules at https://web.archive.org/web/20130224062811/http://www.cherry... , it's okay to transfer numbers:

> The organizing committee of the Credit Union Cherry Blossom is allowing accepted runners who cannot participate in the race to transfer their registration to runners who did not get accepted into the event.

While according to the linked article, it's not for the Boston Marathon:

> The Boston Athletic Association, which organizes the Boston Marathon, prohibits runners from exchanging or transferring their bibs.

In addition, while "The Boston Marathon historically has welcomed unofficial runners, or “bandits,” ... bandits have always been easily identifiable for their lack of bibs. This year, the BAA announced it would increase efforts to remove bandits from the race for security purposes." That makes this race unusual compared to most others.

(Personally I think the number of fake bibs shows that this "security purposes" is really "security theater.")

Finally, part of the perceived bad behavior is that she accepted a medal at the end, even though she didn't actually pay the entrance fee for it. I concur that that counts as bad behavior.

I'm not sure why people hate on forced arbitration.
Outside of the occasional ridiculous damages award that happens, it's actually often better for consumers.
It's cheaper, doesn't require a lawyer, company usually pays, etc.

I'm not sure who their "friends" are. The arbitrators i've met in my time tended to be fair, unbiased folks. I'd expect in general civil cases, it's a mess.

The only claims that get preempted by forced arbitration are these small little $1-2 per person claims. But then people complain when lawyers litigate them as class actions, and settle for $1-2.
Came here expecting to be annoyed at yet another post suggesting we use yet another framework. Pleased to see to see a reasonably cogent (if not a little overly antagonistic) example of why all these frameworks are crap.

Peculiar why women were bunched together with minorities. I wonder how the results would look if they were decoupled. I also wonder what their reasoning was in attributing the small effect linking different names to differing response rates to 'implicit bias' was.
They don't. That was only one of dozens of such deals with various organizations. The Adam Curtis documentary Century of the Self goes into some of the others.
I tried my best not to word the title in a misleading way. Sorry if it still mislead you, though.
thanks for the explaining why you suggested the world's birth rate is dropping.

As you say, population of the earth as a whole is still increasing, and the birth rate is not in decline.

It's not a mean vs. median problem at all.

If it were in decline we wouldn't be facing one of the biggest global issues of over population.

Personally I've been saddened by Nokia's downfall. I still remember the time I wrote Python code for both S60 and N900 series phones, taught a class about this too... Nokia had some really cool funky tools to work with..

Perhaps W8 will do some wonders; I guess its nostalgia :-(
The pipeline features of gocd seems very nice. However, last time I looked at gocd it did not support feature branches. As far as I could tell, it was not due to technical reasons but rather due to the whole feature branch vs continuous integration philosophy differences.

Any idea whether feature branch support will be added in the future?

NACA is not exactly unbiased, since it's mainly consumer class action lawyers.

They also make some claims that are not really true:

"Individuals often have to pay a large fee simply to initiate the arbitration process. "

Please pick any large company you desire to ever sue (amazon, ebay, general mills, etc). I challenge you to find a single one that requires you pay for the arbitration process in all but frivolous cases.

Let's take Amazon's:
"Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA's rules. We will reimburse those fees for claims totaling less than $10,000 unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. Likewise, Amazon will not seek attorneys' fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions,"

Paypal goes further, in fact:
"If the value of the relief sought is more than $10,000 and you are able to demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, PayPal will pay as much of the filing, administration, and arbitrator fees as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive"

NACA's next complaint is that you don't get an in-person hearing, but at the same time complains about the expense of arbitration?
This is non-sensical.

Naca also makes some more falsehoods:
"Forced arbitration clauses generally bind the consumer—not the company. The way many forced arbitration clauses are written, the seller retains its rights to take any complaint to court while the consumer can only initiate arbitration.
"
Again, i've yet to see any of these. Amazon's doesn't.

Maybe paypal, that bastion of horribleness, says something here:
" You and PayPal each agree that any and all disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise between you and PayPal shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that you may assert claims in small claims court, if your claims qualify. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Agreement to Arbitrate."

Whoops, nope, they agree to arbitration bilaterally too
(they also agree to pay the fees)

They cite exactly zero examples of any of these claims, btw.

Part of my life is reviewing TOS'en, and i've got to have reviewed thousands. I have not seen any that are either unilateral, or where you would pay fees. All I ask is for one example :)

I also doubt such a thing would be upheld even under current supreme court precedent.

The rest of the NACA complaints basically come down "you can't take them to court". Which is yes, the point of arbitration.
To avoid the cost of court.

The truth is, NACA doesn't like arbitration because the lawyers involved in it are class action lawyers.
Shocking.
So... the most charitable reading is exactly the one I made above, when I suggested the investor was simply ignorant of the competition ("the guy was too busy partying with random celebrities to know what companies Google Ventures was even invested in")?

Of course it is possible he just led them on. I don't personally think that as likely, but given that the underlying thesis of the essay is that the funding/business cycle in Silicon Valley encourages delusional thinking among the young and naive, I don't see how the possibility detracts from the point of the essay....

FWIW, one of the key people involved with the USB spec (which is an incredible advance relative to serial, parallel, etc. BTW for anyone who remembers those times) told me once that the twiddling to get the right orientation was one of the main things he thought they got wrong with USB.

This is quite interesting. As someone who has delayed sleep phase syndrome, I wish I'd known about the mathematical models they mention a few years ago. I had to figure out my own light therapy schedule by trial and error.

The next step, of course, is to actually try it out. It appears there's an iOS app based on this: http://entrain.math.lsa.umich.edu/
In terms of long-term storage, decent lossy compression and Facebook are both better bets than lossless images on a hard drive you don't bother backing up because you can't justify the cost.
Agreed they have monitoring in place, but I'm curious how many actively review it on a day to day basis.

I know my company has web monitoring in place, because we got a note about people using their cell phones to access raunchy sites while on corp-wifi.

I agree regarding her demeanor. The way that she speaks is extremely rude and antagonistic towards men. I expect to be treated with respect, versus having blanket statements applied to all men.

I'm also tired of being told that I am part of some vast feminist conspiracy "The White Male Patriarchy"; basically some fake boys club holding women back and excluding them - when the opposite is happening.

I hire on merit only, not on bogus numbers thrown at me by radical feminists.
Then just don't look at the logs, or turn them off.
For a website associating itself with "purity", they've done a great job dirtying up their website.
Yeah - that's definitely another factor.

Men are also statistically more likely to become drug addicts.

Not sure what the downvotes are about. I don't think it's controversial that these are some of the reasons why there are a lot more homeless men than women.
"The company usually pays".

Put your fork down and think about that for a second... let's say I do some kind of harm to you...you'd be okay with a guy that I paid and picked determining my liability to you over the normal justice system? And if it is so great for consumers, why not let them choose to do that? Why force it on them?
It is absurd that a citizen must pay to view the decision from his previous case against Boeing.

If the company is paying for the chat service, it's the company's chat, and the company owns the logs. It's no different than a work email address/inbox.
That only applies to deployment. You're not building these services from the ground up: they're all going to have common libraries that need to stay up to date.
If these women (I would make the same claim for men) want to even begin being taken seriously, then people like Shanley and Julie Ann need to stop tweeting and writing aggressive emotional sentiment non-stop all day long.
Under AAA consumer rules (which is what roughly everyone is using) the corporation does not pick the arbitrator. The AAA does. Either side may provide factual objections, which, if upheld, only results in them picking someone new at random.

Are you sure it's the Cysteine? According to this paper[1] where test rats received an LD50 dose of acetaldehyde, those that received cysteine had an 80% survival rate; while those that received both cysteine and thiamine had a 100% survival rate. Thiamine and Methylthiazolidine contain sulfur (thio-/thia- is greek for sulfur) where Cysteine does not. It follows that it would be responsible for some foul air.

It's likely that what you are taking may contain both, is this the case?

For all the bio-hackers looking to experiment tonight, it seems to make sense to:

1) take dry yeast to help the alcohol dehydrogenase break the alcohol down into acetaldehyde to stop you from feeling drunk

2) take both thiamine (optional) and cysteine to help the acetaldehyde dehydrogenase break acetaldehyde down into acetic acid to stop you from feeling hungover.

Assuming you just take a bunch of dry yeast, and that it has any effect at all you'll probably still have a bad hangover. Then again, chaining all these things together without a solid understanding about what's going on probably isn't too smart either.
