" it's their own fault the market is in the condition its in - not the home buyer's."

There's a fair bit of blame to around here. Lenders should not have been lending to unqualified individuals or pushing unreasonable loans.

How come nobody ever mentions the Realtors in this process of looking for fault? They were generally most intimately familiar with their clients' finanacial states - working with them for weeks and months at a time, as opposed to a few hours that a finance company spends making a decision. Realtors abrogated their responsibility to their clients' best interests in the name of getting bigger & bettter commissions - because whether their clients could actually afford to keep the overpriced properties they were selling wasn't their problem.

Finally, would-be home owners could have applied a healthy dose of common sense. It just took a little bit of research to see that houses were overpriced, and that there was zero logic in a 5 year ARM with a balloon payment under which you spend the first five years paying only a portion of the interest.

That a $3000/mo mortgage when living from paycheck to paycheck is not a good idea.

Yet millions did these things anyway, hand-waving at the future in order to get that extra square footage or in order to gamble something they didn't have on the hope that the unreasonable prices would continue for another five years.

It may be that it's only luck and timing that stopped me from being one of those people - I don't know what I would have done had I been looking for a house in the mid-2000s (I bought mine in 2000 when prices were relatively sane).

But I like to think I'd be taking responsibility for my own bad decision if I made it. No matter who was pushing me towards it.
In Western Europe and much of Asia, almost nil (countries like South Korea, Japan ...) In many countries, I'm afraid it's quite common, abuse of police power is nothing strange here. I've had it happen to me.
This is a very interesting development, partly for being a useful feature for some merchants in its own right, but perhaps also if it signals a more general move from Stripe toward supporting a broader range of payment methods through a unified API. That strategy seems to dovetail neatly with accepting payments in multiple currencies, which was something else Stripe developed not so long ago but isn't much use alone where the local conventional payment methods don't involve credit cards.
the point of science is to continue to search for ways to disprove things, not to ever prove something

No, the point is to learn things. Any time something is shown to be less likely (disproven) other things must therefore be that same amount more likely. The goal is to concentrate that likeliness in as small an area as possible.

Simply disproving things doesn't help with this. Disproving things that we thought were true helps with this (a star viewed thru a telescope has a disc because of diffraction, not because of similar triangles; the earth really does move). Finding the limits of what we know helps with this (Newtonian mechanics works, but not for extremely small or fast things).

Given infinite possibilities, just disproving some at random won't help. You need to find which possibilities you can learn the most by testing.

There is always a deeper level of understanding and knowledge that could potentially make something previously thought to be true untrue.

This is not a useful way of looking at things. It's better to say, for anything that's true, there are limits within which it is true. Newtonian mechanics is not untrue, it's just not all-encompassing.

Consider all those infinite possibilities as a multi-dimensional space. A particular theory is a region (or set of regions) in that space that are true, and that aren't true. Any one experiment can test one point and see if it matches what the theory says. If you have a cluster of points that are all true or all false, you don't gain anything by testing more points in that same area. You gain by testing points near where the theory says the edge of a region should be. If the edges are all where they should be, you've proved the theory as true (or rather, true enough). If not, it's either wrong or more limited that you thought (it's less true than you thought).
You're looking at the non-extended-release tablets, which are reasonably cheap these days.

Sadly this doesn't seem to work. There is little to no correlation between settlements and the divisions within an organization that they are supposed to punish, especially for large jurisdictions.

Atlanta, small for a "big" city and with a terribly low budget relative to its size set its 2014 budget at 550M. A few million dollar wrongful death/abuse settlements each year don't even get noticed.

Thank you for this advice. I was always under the impression that it should come naturally, so when I didn't do so well during the interviews as some of my friends, I started worrying that I shouldn't be pursuing programming as a career after graduation.
As a European (NL, you know, the country with 5 weeks vacation and a functioning healthcare system) I find the Cadillac ad hilarious.

If you'll pardon a second response, I must point out this is only true of emergencies like car accidents and the ever abundance of shootings.

It doesn't, but the war on drugs is profitable for certain stakeholders and lobbyists
This is a side-effect of police militarization that doesn't get much attention from its critics: using advanced military equipment should also require advanced military training. Local police agencies that receive all this new military-spec equipment don't always get (or more likely, never get) the funding for necessary training on how to use it. Much less does such training really exist since this stuff was all designed for use in actual war zones. The extant training materials would inherently be oriented around that type of usage.

Even the worst part of the worst city in the USA could not be more different than a war-stricken area of Iraq or any other region where military action is a common occurrence (other than that they probably contain more friendlies than enemies).

Aside: It is truly sickening that they used a flashbang on a residential house where they hoped to apprehend a single, low-value suspect that could not possibly have been that well armed. Again, lack of proper training.
> That it was for drugs is the most disturbing part. How does that help anyone in any capacity?

It helps police departments keep their budgets and continues their access to militarization programs (where the DoD gives them surplus equipment after combat operations).

There is no excuse whatsoever for what happened.
No it can't. You'll find exact sciences don't work like this.

First in maths you have models. Of course some models match reality and some don't, but proven "given" a model means a very specific thing and is extremely rigorous.

Second physics, at least particle physics, has a lot of models these days. The most famous "in use" one is the standard model. It is not based on measurement, but on the assumption that a specific geometric shape determines the laws of physics, along with a number of constants, none of which can be directly measured (and generally, you don't use the "real" ones for calculation because they're somewhat inconvenient). The conclusions of the standard model are valid given those assumptions, just like mathematical theories are. That has good sides and really bad ones. The good, everybody knows. The worst: according to the standard model, gravity shouldn't exist.

You'll find most rigorous theories of exact sciences work like that. We can give a very, very thorough argument why electrical current and magnetism work in perpendicular planes, give exact values for the magnitudes, and you will not find a single measured quantity anywhere in that argument with one exception : the one that determines the units used. But that is an arbitrary constant, different for the metric versus imperial system.

Now I'm not saying there aren't variations on what it means to be proven within these sciences, but you can reasonably say that given the peano axioms and the model used, these conclusions are proven.

No such claim can be made for climate science. The "laws" of climate science are not the result of first principles (because they don't match observed behavior of the atmosphere), but statistical best estimators of observed measurements. This is absolutely not the same standard as used in exact sciences.
The way the psychology works is that police regard everyone as a potential threat and a criminal, which makes them essentially not human in their eyes. When dealing in a "tactical phase" or whatever the hell they call it, they take command of a situation and have a very paranoid view of everything.
Unions get a bad rap, often well deserved, but they were created to solve this problem, among others.
I don't know much about fast.js in particular but in this case there might be an advantage of using the fast functions simply because they have simpler semantics. There are many bugs and inconsistencies that come up from people expecting that native methods behave the same as simple for-loops when they actually don't.

Thats the point, you think it will start now, but the truth is that selective censorship is live media is a norm, and the Breaking News culture has a lot to contribute to it too. Even if not through direct control (flow of money and ownership), media can be easily arm twisted at times, provided the one twisting the arm knows the pressure points.

There have been in past a lots of reports about malpractices prevalent in media. Selective/biased reporting against political parties, journalists making deals with sting operations as leverages, paid news, etc.

And thus, to me, this is merely transfer of control.
And thats exactly why I think this report is not apt for this forum, as although it presents quite a legitimate picture about take over of one network by a corporate giant, it is just a small pixel in an overall huge picture about the degradation of live & electronic media.
Well, IIRC, the issue is that with science, nothing can be definitely be "proven." What makes it something in the scientific realm is that it is potentially disprovable. No?

So while we can show correlation and come up with hypotheses and theories etc ad nauseum, as I understand it, you can't "prove" anything. Supposedly. You can just show that your current theory is better than what we had before, basically.

So the "$10k to disprove" works scientifically. The "$10k to prove" should not.

Or so I understand it.
I'm struggling to understand how any of the officers on the SWAT team - or, for that matter, those who formulated the policies to use tools like M-16s and flash grenades in drug raids - could possibly consider their actions to be less serious than someone taking or dealing in drugs.
South Africa (Pretoria). And by, I've had that happen to me, I mean Police intimidation, not a flashbang in my chest. For that sort of thing see Palestine, Iraq etc However we see abuse of Police power very often here.

The problem with this is that it leaves things without any obvious, canonical, name. You have to read a bunch of code to figure out what's going on and a change in the values returned may result in subtle errors.

Coffeescript has a really neat destructuring operator for this kind of thing:

qux = () -> {blah: "a", blorp: "b", zoop: "c"}
{blah, blorp, zoop} = quz()
The point I took away from that one example was: The native functions have to deal with lots of edge cases, which causes them to be slower. By implementing similar functions which, per their spec, do not handle those edge cases, we can gain a significant performance improvement.
Good grief. SWAT teams in the US are utterly out of control. It's one thing to have resources for the relatively rare armed robbery/hostage/mass shooter situation, to respond to an outbreak of violence; it's quite another to be using them for drug raids and other contexts where they initiate or are the sole cause of violence. This goes hand in hand with the confrontation-obsessed gun culture we have, in which a subset of gun owners dwell constantly on the omnipresent risks of crime and the need for elephant-grade stopping power, despite the clear long-term trend of falling crime.

The Cato institute has worked with journalist Radley Balko (who is the expert in this area) to produce a map of botched SWAT raids: http://www.cato.org/raidmap

I really see no other course for citizens other than to start attending public meetings and speaking up whenever public figures spout truisms about the safety of law enforcement officers being top priority. It's not top priority, that's why they get paid the big bucks - to put the safety of law-abiding citizens above their own.

This is just as important on the hardware side. As far back as I can remember, I had fun tearing apart electronics and computers. My junior high school had a computer club where we created Frankenstein machines out of discarded computers, and did whatever we had to to make them work.

You simply cannot have the same experience with a sealed, black box, computing device like an iPad, Surface, or Chromebook. I hesitate to even call them "computers" since they're so unlike the computers I built as a child.

I agree, I was super skeptical when I started with my current employer due to this policy. I cynically assumed it was intended to somehow deter me from taking any vacation. Then I took quite a bit of vacation and got absolutely no pushback.

I think that our relationship with vacation has to change to one where we consider it a vital part of being a professional. When that attitude shifted for me, I became a pretty big fan of the unlimited vacation policy.

I figure that the worst case scenario, I'll get denied the vacation and I can choose if I want to move on or stay..no harm done.
I was at a State Park in California recently and had a friendly talk with a ranger about local places to visit. It was hard not to notice the AR-15 and Shotgun mounted in his truck, as well as the sidearm on his hip. I'd never seen that before in all my years of camping with family.

That isn't how that works. That isn't how any of it works.

Selenium + https://code.google.com/p/flash-selenium/ == Has both.

People who block flash & javascript for security reasons? Also blocks both.

The sheer ease of bypass and the rate of false positives for any sophisticated operator is going to be huge.

Maybe I'm overly skeptical but I don't see this filtering any bot operation that is sophisticated enough to run something like selenium.

As soon as I read the title of this article I immediately thought of the Cadillac ad.

Its such a conflicting thought.

This could be a good argument if the actual profits from coal and oil were really going to development of sustainable technologies (or poor people, in case of argument from streptomycin). In fact, that's precisely what the carbon tax proposals try to induce.

But I am not convinced; oil and coal companies fight this tooth and nail.

They are almost uniquely a product of the drug war. One can imagine very few situations outside of drugs were evidence could be so easily destroyed as to justify a no-knock warrant.

>You never hear of the need to get more male nurses, or primary teachers and that is generally not viewed as a problem.

This actually is a common conversation within those fields, and is certainly viewed as a problem in wider society. Some researchers claim that one reason male students underperform in school is due to the lack of adult male role models in the form of teachers. As a male with some experience in education, I have seen first hand how much my very presence in the classroom can inspire young male students. They yearn for more male teachers, and they don't even know anything about education theory or developmental psychology.

Atlanta continues to amaze me. On one hand, I see reports every week from the police department at my school (downtown atlanta)about robberies/ mugging (armed) with usually no police officers around to help. The response times are usually >20 minutes (usually because they are way understaffed). And on the other, I see militarized police brutality. I wish there is a way to funnel my tax dollars to those departments that are going to help people rather than hurt them.

actually that story is the opposite of true. John Regher and CSmith fuzzed CompCert and they found no bugs. from the csmith PLDI paper:

"The striking thing about our CompCert results is that the middleend bugs we found in all other compilers are absent. As of early 2011, the under-development version of CompCert is the only compiler we have tested for which Csmith cannot find wrong-code errors. This is not for lack of trying: we have devoted about six CPU-years to the task."
