Thanks for teaching me how to pronounce Japanese words! I am not all that familiar with the language. My limited experience includes being born in this little clubbing district called Roppongi, growing up in this little city called Tokyo until I was fourteen, and having read somewhere between 3,000 and 5,000 books in it. Even with such a limited knowledge of Japanese, I ostensibly have a monthly column in a nationally circulated magazine.

I didn't say this was a great example to showcase the nuance and intricacy of Japanese. All I said was how semiotics was interesting in general, my observation being an (admittedly boring) example of it.
Apple swallows Aussie startup company’s name – HealthKit
Man, I totally forgot about my idea for a website until reading this post. I put this into evernote last week:

> A service/website which lets you know when a beautiful sunset or sunrise is likely, and the best time / place to view them in your area. Includes a photo sharing feature where people can upload their sunsets, rainbows, etc. Would use weather forecasts to predict red skies

Does anyone know if this already exists? If it does, I won't even be disappointed, I just want to use it
Looking up qemu-kvm in Ubuntu 14.04 now, it's version "2.0.0~rc1+dfsg-0ubuntu3.1", which is similar to the version in my Debian Jessie/Testing machine (2.0.0+dfsg-6). Time to try this out, methinks.

Edit: try this out another time - you need access to an OSX machine to do various steps of the process.
So this is only for iOS? Is there one for the web?
Yeah you can't trust Belkin's WeMo line for light switches, and yet they are coming out with integration with things like crock posts and humidifiers soon. This is very scary.
I don't do this stuff, so this may be a stupid question. But it looks like you have p_A and p_B being independent in the posterior distribution. How does that work? I would assume that they're pretty correlated IRL --- we're not changing that much in A/B testing.

This must be coming from the likelihood function, so you may want to be more specific about the exact experiment you have in mind. I'm not sure off the top of my head whether imposing independence is going to overstate or understate the precision of the estimate...

Good timing. Someone skimmed by credit card and took $1600 AUD out of two cash machines in $800 batches.

I've never used this card in an ATM so it must be from a store that swiped my card.

Here's my questions though, how did the fraudster know my pin number to be able to use the cloned credit card in an ATM?
Very Cool! Let me know if you'd like any help with Design. I can think of a few things that might help (both in terms of mobile/tablet UI and responsiveness). Not sure if you're looking for recommendations, but I'd add Sharing links/buttons for more Platforms than just Twitter (this is in the comments panel). Sharing to Twitter seems to be the only growth mechanic related element on the Site. Adding more links will make it easier for people to share their favorite products on more platforms, which will put you in front of more people. This will drive more traffic (and engagement) back to your Site.

> In 1994, two years after PIHKAL was published, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) raided Shulgin's lab and requested that he turn over his DEA license. Richard Meyer, spokesman for DEA's San Francisco Field Division, has stated in reference to PIHKAL "It is our opinion that those books are pretty much cookbooks on how to make illegal drugs. Agents tell me that in clandestine labs that they have raided, they have found copies of those books," suggesting that the publication of PIHKAL and the termination of Shulgin's license may have been related.

I used to live a couple miles from the Saints training facility and shopped pretty frequently at the grocery store across the street where encountering players was somewhat common.

I'm 6'4", 215lbs and don't often experience what being small feels like... except when I'm standing next to NFL linemen. They're just huge.
Ok, that makes sense. Thanks for the well-thought-out response. The moderation has always made me a bit uncomfortable, but its results are pretty plain to see, so I guess I'll shut up and put up. You're probably right that my uneasiness is due to increased transparency, which is actually a very positive development, IMO.

Thanks again for the work you do. Sorry for the somewhat knee-jerk reaction.
Just a hint: If you use WP and ever CC someone or Reply All, be thankful it's in there.
Of course, don't publicize it.

But consider a though experiment: From a security perspective, does it really increase risk? There are many ways to kill someone that are much simpler than figuring out what pacemaker they have, finding a 0day, designing an attack and implementing it. This vulnerability doesn't necessarily increase the risk that someone will be murdered.

EDIT: Or if you want to attack the pacemaker, use radiation from microwaves or similar devices. At least according to signs posted in many places, they are dangerous to users of pacemakers.
Ah, you charge for theapp. Then they are correct, you are profiting of their work.

If somebody was making money of my work, I too would be pissed.
Actually, assuming that bets are respected up through one atomic blockchain block before pool closing, the operator can't ensure they're last-to-move, because of the mechanics of Bitcoin-transactions-into-blocks. All bets are public, and all bets into the 'last block' before the pool closes would be equally valid. (Bitbook.ie could use some other 'we saw your transaction in time, even though it didn't make a block' approach... but that would be so open to abuse and customer complaint I doubt it'd fly.)

So this again presents more problems for potential arbitrageurs as soon as there's more than one last-minute "sniper": not only are they unsure if their bet will be minted into a block in time, they can't be sure N others following the same strategy don't try the same thing, making the final odds awful.

To the extent the operator has any discretion, it's just to make a final ruling on whether a block arrived "soon enough", or is the first block for which bets are a "no-go". There's a very, very slight abuse potential in such discretion: their decisions are publicly observable, and biased/arbitrary decisions would result in a lot of griping and lost credibility.

On the other hand, large mining pools would have significant power to control the 'last money in', in the blocks just before an event closes. (If they see imbalanced odds they like, they could blockade other bets, and only allow their own confederates' late money in, and only to the extent that the odds remain favorable.)

Maybe that's the real business model: kickbacks from side-betting mining pools!
very strange feeling looking at it without people - the lack of purpose [in the big sense] of such buildings/spaces is immediately noticeable. I mean it isn't that something will be built, learnt, stored or housed there to keep away from elements. Instead the primary purpose of prison/jail buildings is to waste huge amount of resources, human and material. (not advocating for complete prison abolishment today as it is still some years before we can do something like "house arrest" or other [may be selective] rights limitation for convicts. It is just sad that we still can't produce a practical alternative to prison/jail which will move our society forward instead of backward)

How about some "Uber for law violators". Some technical means of keeping a convict in the society, just taking away his ability to do any harm - one of the 2 goals of locking up - and his ability to enjoy the life or some parts of it - the other goal of locking up which satisfies societal need for justice.
He is charging for the app, of course he is violating copyright laws.
That paper is a very different setup --- the hierarchical model Gelman, Hill, and Yajima use implicitly builds multiple comparisons into their process. You could do the same thing here in principle by drawing alpha and beta for different experiments from an underlying distribution, but I'd be cautious about applying that approach mindlessly.

If you haven't read it, Gelman and Hill's book is excellent: http://www.stat.columbia.edu/~gelman/arm/ and so is Gelman's blog.
really? you honestly don't see how a school allowing their students to sell their technical partner's (not public[1]) content is relevant?

1. Must the two be mutually exclusive? Teaching students irrelevant or outdated skills is a great way to encourage them to dismiss the profession as old, stodgy, useless, etc.

2. That's true. Is there a reason not to fudge the details of a current, employable technology stack?

3. Let's examine the logical extremes. On the one hand you have an incompetent teacher who can nevertheless communicate well. On the other hand you have a competent teacher who is a poor communicator. Frankly, I would rather have the latter. Otherwise, what's the point?
Apologies are by definition when you apologies for your own actions. To claim that it applies to people based on their reaction or is explicitly for people who reacted a certain way is not IMHO a real apology. This type of conditional apology (called the 'Carey' apology where I'm from http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/my-vile-apology/story-e6frf...) is an apology for the reaction in others, not the act itself.
You may be right. Maybe its best to only have jargon until the software is ready for prime time.

My general counter argument to jargon filled websites is the great ending of Trading Places:

What about lunch?
The lobster or the cracked crab?
What do you think?

Can't we have both?

Why can't a website have both a clear explanation for normal people, followed by all the jargon necessary for the target audience?

I think it's a worthwhile exercise to look at situations like this and objectively asses the indiscretion. My first response was, 'that's fine, he's just talking about his girlfriend, no issue'. This is an oversimplification. The offence comes from the humour, which relies on the implication that all girlfriends are like this. It's a little subtle but it's there.

I don't really like males (I'm male) being portrayed as domestic buffoons who can't cook, are too lazy to clean, even in the context of light humour. It's a false stereotype.
"Those who do not understand the hardware are doomed to blog about it, poorly.

Intel chips already detect overflow, that is what the OF (bit 11) flag in the flags/eflags register indicates. That the most recent operation overflowed.

Testing, and generating a trap, for an overflow is a single instruction (JO – jump if overflow and JNO – jump if no overflow).

This is true of almost all CPU’s. At the hardware/assembly programming level, overflow detection is handled by hardware, and detected by a single instruction.
The reason all of your languages listed don’t have any sort of trap/etc. is simple. The language designers did not bother to check the result of their operations. Why, most likely because almost all of them are ultimately implemented in C, and C does not reflect the overflow status back into the C language level.

So the problem isn’t the hardware. It is the software architectural design(s) implemented above the hardware. They are not bothering to communicate to you the results of what the hardware already has available and tells them about."

Maybe with their shirts undone to their waist

First off, those women don't have any thing undone. In fact, their shirts go all the way to the neck. No cleavage. One pic has one of the women showing a little (tiny, tiny) midriff but the image cropping really minimizes the amount of skin shown. They are dressed in a "fun take on the black tie affair" kind of way... not half nekkid. So your comparison on the men with shirts undone to their waist is quite a bit extreme.

Second, call it a crazy double standard or what have you but the fact is, many girl friends do stuff like this while not many guys do. When my wife is hanging out with her girl friends it is not uncommon for one of them to lick another at some point in the evening. I can honestly say that I don't recall ever being involved in a licking with another guy. I also don't accompany my guy friends to the restroom but that seems to be popular with the women. Men and women are different after all.
I think you should assume people will reverse engineer patches as soon as they are public. People should treat this like any urgent medical care and address it within hours or days of the patch being available. I don't know much about that area of the industry, but I don't envy it at all. Imagining being the person responsible for a) enabling remote communication, b) allowing updates via remote communication, and c) securing it. What a nightmare situation.

Latest Macbook Pro here and have that same WIFI issue. I still have 5 year old Lenovo with windows 7 on it that is just as, if not more, stable than the Mac.

On Mac things like Alfred (probably will drop this for the new spotlight), better touch tool, some capabilities like ability to swap USB MIDI controllers without restarting OS are cool. Honestly though, performance wise there isn't that much difference between my Mac and Win Machines and being in programs full screen most of the day I notice much difference at all. The really flexible information moving things I've grown accustomed to on Win seem a bit crippled on Mac because of lack of a filesystem.
● And Jews went through 2,000 years of persecution, expulsion, finally a holocaust, and didn't even have their own country again until recently when Israel was created.

● And Europeans went through thousands of years of inter-european wars, a plague that killed off 1/4 of the population, 2 world wars, muslim invasions, and mongolian invasions. Not to mention suppressing education and science and causing centuries of dark ages due to religious extremism.

● And Cambodians went through a genocide where Po Pots waged a communist war against all intellectuals, teachers, and high achievers that killed off 25% of the cambodian population.

● And Bulgarians went through 500 years of Turkish rule which included mass killings and slavery and left "its culture shattered and separated from Europe for 500 years". Followed by devastating communism.

● Those educated in more than just American History know that this list goes on and on and spans thousands of years. Everyone's been through hell. Suffering is not an excuse of one's own problems.

Blaming problems on others does not empower a group to fix problems within it's own community. Plus, the groups with the problems we discussed (lack of family structure, culture, education, etc) have them even in countries that did not "separate them for 350 years, exterminate their cultural practices, whip them or prohibit them from receiving education".

Vilifying one group and victimizing another doesn't help anyone. You just did the very thing I described in my original post "Homogenous societies [...] are more responsible for their failures and successes than diverse societies. They have no one to blame but themselves. They cannot pass off their suffering or their problems onto others. [and force themselves to improve]"
VMWare, for one, have been able to do this for quite a while with the effort of ~1 mouseclick.

Unless things have recently changed, this is factually incorrect. It might work on OSX, but that's not really the point, is it.

For whatever reason, you may want to be able to run a general purpose X86 OS on your general purpose X86 hardware, or general purpose X86 cloud/cluster.

For instance, getting OSX to run in a regular ESX cluster (for testing, etc) can't be done wtihout immense amount of hackery, and probably requires custom kext-files, injected on another machine before dumping the image and what not.

At this point poor compatibility is just that. I fail to see why someone would try to sell that as something good.
And it is true, there is already the hardware "overflow" flag, just not visible in "higher" level languages.

A great deal of what we call "adequate healthcare" didn't even exist in 1970.

Cancer was essentially a death sentence back then. So was a heart attack.

No MRI. No CAT scan. No minimally-invasive surgery.

They were still performing major surgery to "treat" ulcers back then. Now we know they're caused by bacteria and can clear them up with no surgery needed.

Really poor people in the United States do get free healthcare. It's called "Medicaid".
Finally some actual data, thank you! Do you know the functionality behind 'fastest unchecked'? Does it only leave away memory bounds checks or arithmetic overflow checks or all of it? Depending on how it works, Swift could be quite interesting for HPC programming in the future. My dream workflow would be something like

create working and correct program with all the comfort of modern languages / IDEs

-->

switch to unchecked-but-warn (or whatever that's called like), run some test suites and get rid of all warnings.

-->

switch on highest optimizations and switch off checking, verify results.

-->

port to multicore / multinode / accelerators using some directive based approach.

note that you won't have much safety on todays' accelerators anyways, so removing that safety net when still in an easily debuggable environment is going to make life easier when debugging the accelerated code - it's all about being able to exclude error classes.

That's not an unfair comparison, because those are their intended use cases. You're looking at a Porsche and bitching that it sucks at offroading.

Your comparison would make more sense if it was about making a car made by Porsche drive on roads not made by Porsche. Which everyone agrees is absolutely reasonable.

What you're trying to sell me is the idea that poor compatibility is a feature? It was designed to have poor compatibility despite being built for a standardized platform, so that makes it a porsche?

When I try to get OSX running in our VMWare cluster so that we have clonable, snapshottable machines for testing and debugging and it takes a week of effort not getting it working, you're telling me that's a "feature"?
