This is actually a really good replacement for pads. They say their underwear can hold one to six teaspoons. There are five milliliters to a teaspoon, and according to Wikipedia, the average period produces one to six tablespoons total. There are three teaspoons to a tablespoon. So their underwear should be able to easily cope with one day's worth of flow, since it should be able to cope with half a period to an entire period's worth.

Assuming their manufacturing process isn't too toxic, this could be vastly more environmentally friendly than pads and tampons. The downside of reusable, durable items of this nature, is that it's gross and requires handwashing.

There were many "Gold box" DND games that also used this approach. How far you could walk and how your enemies were positioned were very important.

I recall interesting tactics like standing on a downed troll so it couldn't regenerate.

Most modern tactical RPGs use a similar approach. Shadowrun Returns, X-COM, Final Fantasy Tactics, and SpiderWeb's RPGs come to mind.

Advance Wars adds an interesting resource control strategy to the mix. Personally I found it sometimes so difficult it bordered on a puzzle game.
Good point. I at least have to check out these places to see if i like it.

Correct; Apple has made the latest Xcode beta available to "free" developer accounts, as of today (source: https://developer.apple.com/news/?id=07112014a).
Go travel the world while freelancing before you get in another serious relationship. You only live once and a whole world is out there you haven't even experienced.

If you goto backpacker destinations you'll meet tons of people your age, from all over the world, looking to go on adventures and have fun. Most of these places are relatively cheap compared to the UK/US, have existing communities of freelancers and you get to experience another culture/way of life.

For the last 1.5 years I've been living in Thailand doing freelance work. The quality of life, people I've met and life experiences far outweight even my best years back home. I'm 30 now and I look back and wish I would have made the leap to go abroad at 25.

The other big benefit is that you can save a lot of money with little effort. I try to not work more than 4 hours a day and still save more money than when I was working full time in the US. Plus the lifestyle I can live in Thailand is amazing in comparison to the US. 1 monthof living frugally back home (Seattle) is what I would spend living it up for 3-4 months in Thailand.

You're right that you can't make money, but you can be paid more than your pro-rata share of the flight costs.

Suppose you and 3 passengers take a flight where the direct costs total $400.

Your pro-rata share of $400 is $100. Your passengers could pay you up to $300. $300 is more than $100, so you can clearly be paid more than your pro-rate share.

The FAR says you can't pay LESS than your pro-rata share. In this case, you aren't.
The absolute curbstomping of the rest of the Unix workstation market by Mac OS X should put the lie to the notion that network-transparent display is in any wise essential. Beautiful, pixel-perfect, tear-free GUIs are much more important.

And anyway, even if you need remote display, network support isn't necessary in the core protocol. You can get networked display by having a Wayland compositor that runs on the remote end and communicates with a Wayland client on the local end in any number of better-than-X11 protocols: rdp, vnc, frickin' streaming h.264. And remote apps don't even have to know that they're being displayed remotely.
I think you neglected the factor that flow varies over the course of a period with a shape like sin(x) from x=0 to x=3.14. Or in other words it starts off slow, peaks, then peters out.
<i> I worked with a guy who I affectionally named "Stack Man." He basically used a stack for any list implementation. He didn't understand the difference between a list, a queue, and a stack.</i>

That's brilliant, although I'd imagine it could begin to annoy. Slightly obtuse, but I'd have had to get a snippet of this to play every time he checked in a new stack...

You can do the same sort of 3D arrangements with plants and sunlight. However, building a 3d structure costs money so you need to compare it with all the other ways of boosting yeild to find out the best option.

Generally, a mix of irrigation, fertilizer, better breeds, and greenhouses are the best option for boosting yield. Mix in more marginal land as needed (Note: ~68.4% of Japan is covered in forests.)

Greenhouses for example let you have a longer growing season and pack plants more closely together when their young. Which can let you have an early harvest and then use that same land for another plant or a plant with a longer growing season. Closer to the tropics you can often get 2 or 3 harvests a year. However, they have significant capital and labor costs.

PS: Now, we can try and figure out how a Dystopian future can feed say X billion people but we are a long way from needing indoor hydroponics.
>I am not repeatedly missing what Docker does

>I'm sure Docker is appropriate for some specific situations, but it is not currently an appropriate general container solution if you care about security.

Yes, you are. Docker is not currently and is not trying to be a "general container solution". Again, that's LXC.

But "X is currently insufficient as 'true isolation'" is inane. libcontainer is built on top of kernel cgroups. Docker can be wholly isolated with selinux:

http://www.mankier.com/8/docker_selinux

You don't know what Docker does, you don't know what it's built on, you don't know how cgroups work, and you're entirely ignoring selinux.

Please stop.

Great point.

When tricky concurrency is involved, using the built-in tools offered by the database is the safest approach.

Often, it's also the easiest and most performant.
Let me warrant this by saying I don't know the first thing about how neural networks actually work, but can someone help me out and explain why the following isn't working?

I added an extra input to the training data for the XOR example:

net.train([{input: [0, 0], output: [0]},
{input: [0, 1], output: [1]},
{input: [1, 0], output: [1]},
{input: [1, 1], output: [0]},
{input: [3, 4], output: [7]}])

But the result of running:

var output = net.run([3, 4]); // [0.987]

Is

[0.9999823694382457]

which strikes me as odd. Shouldn't it be closer to 7?
> if NSA is missing major activities of other countries (the Russian intervention in Ukraine) and nonstate terrorist groups (the "Islamic State" capture of much territory in Iraq), then surely NSA doesn't have the time and resources to analyze all of the data it gathers

Or maybe foreign intelligence is simply far more difficult.

I can't imagine its easy to intercept high level government communications in Russia where they can simply order US bases companies to turn over user data.
The only Ultima game I played was Ultima VII. I love that game. It's one of the high water marks in computer gaming. I recall being around 7 or 8, playing it with my younger brother, both of us completely obsessed, but at the same time unsure of how really to play it. The game-play and world were for the most part completely open, and immense; you could either talk to every person you cam across and progress through the game, or you could explore the woods, dungeons or go to random islands complete with pirates to battle. Then there were the character development aspects of the game, like if you steal too many things, your companions will leave you. I loaded it up again a few years ago after seeing it for sale on GoG. It is timeless in every way. And now I am feeling very nostalgic :]

Also, was there a secret way to kill Lord British in Ultima IV? I know of two ways to do it in Ultima VII. You can either surround him with like 8 barrels of gun powder, or double clicking this anvil thing in his castle while he stands under it at 12:00 PM every day.

Not around here. Cats are great meals for coyotes, foxes, birds of prey, feral hogs... The list goes on and on. But don't tell a cat that and burst their bubble!
The question is if they were spied on to get that info about them to force them out due to them being at odds with some other party. Who was the party, what were they at odds over -- and finally, how worse off is the nation when these people are potentially pushed out via this tactic.

I've only read the first link so far, I've had a bit to do today but I appreciate all these links. Already learned a ton so far and this is almost exactly the sort of material I was looking for. Just wanted to say thanks before this falls into obscurity and/or you forget about it so you know your time was not wasted.
Since the post has no title to revert to, we'll use the first sentence instead. The submitted title ("Co-founder of Cards Against Humanity Accused of Rape"), besides being editorialized, was also arguably misleading, since it suggests that the post consists of the accusation.

This is not a release for anyone's production system. It's to review on test systems, or to audit.
If any part of that was traumatic for her, I am sincerely sorry, and I wish we would have had a chance to address it privately.

Can't apologizing like this be considered as an admission of guilt? Or is that what Hollywood/TV would like me to believe?

EDIT - I didn't mean admitting guilt in terms of the law, but how a lawyer would spin it. Think of what a good lawyer could do with this quote. Max admits that part of the relationship could have been "traumatic for her" and then apologizes for it and then wishes he could have spoken in private.
I got hooked on TSW [1] recently. Two years old it should count as a modern game where you probably need to take notes quite a bit.

People playing can hand out "play for 72 hours" invitations. If you are interested, let me know.

Sony has been sliding downhill in terms of quality products for quite some time now, in addition to ignoring customer feedback/complaints. In my eyes, this was really only a matter of time. But, by no means do I think Apple is overshadowing the Japanese tech industry; the innovative and creative nature of japanese tech products will continue to progress, while I see Apple beginning to plateau in quality/creativeness after Steve Jobs' passing.
Interesting thread. Not buying Chris's (with his Apple hat on) answer though.

The idea that you spend a few years to create a new language and have not even had a discussion yet about whether or not it will be open source is simply not credible.

Unless Swift was rushed to release because companies like Apportable were making too much progress and they wanted to herd developers back into the pens with new proprietary languages and APIs e.g. Metal.

I'm all for migrating to git, but at least one aspect of the OpenBSD workflow would take some serious thought to migrate: CVS supports having one giant repository containing everything (at least, as well as it supports anything else), even including project source code, whereas git really wants smaller per-project repositories that share common history with the corresponding upstreams. In light of that, migrating to git would require some non-trivial workflow changes, making it understandable that it hasn't happened in a hurry.
25 yo developer (Full stack dev), single, no debt, $15k savings. Here is what I am not going to do:

- Travel

- Have fun

- Meet new people

- Get out of my comfort zone.

Instead, I am going to quit my job and research artificial intelligence full time: coursera, hacking on personal projects and hackerspaces. (And at least 1 hour of sport everyday for social/health). When my savings are blown, I'll try to get a job at numenta or vicarious. If this fails, go back to devweb for a few years, and repeat.

Basic russian sentences
We removed all of the “rape” jokes from Cards Against Humanity years ago. We’ll continue to use the game as best we can to “punch up” and not “punch down.”

Is this the same Cards Against Humanity that I'm thinking of? Because I'm pretty sure that game "punches down" quite hard.
That's ridiculous. By the same logic, that's like trying to ban DVD players because they too can technically play copyrighted material...
Most definitely... not. Well, since Harvest Golem is not yet implemented, the subtle nuances are beyond the scope anyways. It's something I will have to go through to get it right in due course.

Having said that, the focus (of my curiosity) is in AI modeling at a broader (higher?) level, so I think will be concentrating on that aspect for now.
Not being a historian, I actually read Wikipedia before posting that. I guess I was confused on the smallpox vaccines creation which seems to involve a lot of actors. What's certain however, is that the vaccine's dissemination and the eventual eradication of smallpox was pushed by the World Health Organization (part of the UN) and so was a government initiative. [1]

Penicillin was discovered by Alexander Fleming as part of research in a public institution (St. Mary's Hospital). [2]

I guess my larger point (which you deftly avoided addressing) is that the government is not a boogeyman creating evil technologies nor does it have a monopoly on evil shit. I also have a hard time imagining a motive for a for-profit organization to eradicate a disease world-wide. Something that government organizations have achieved almost twice (polio is nearly wiped out).

Why would someone who doesn't understand French waste their time trying to read a book called "Le Langage Caml"?
You could report it with your phone carrier, and have your mom do the same. Carriers keep something called CDRs that will have some level of debugging information associated with it. They might turn up something obvious right away. The truth is, they're not going to do anything about it unless it's recurring. And then, you'd better hope it is reproducible, or the techs will keep closing the tickets and moving on.

I've done a lot of telecom work for intermediate sized carriers. I've dredged through many gee-bees (that's gigabytes, folks) of SIP logs, cross reference my ass off, set up intermediate traces with IXCs, you name it, all in search of answers to problems just like the one you described. The problem is that the system doesn't stay the same for long. The telephone network in the US is more varied and complex than the Internet, because it has an unholy mix of legacy and new technologies glued together in ways that will make you lose sleep at night. At some point, you develop an appreciation for the fact that it works at all.
Yes, you can do that for internal (ie private) use.

The only caveat would be if your job is at a university, and you plan to give copies to students. Distribution would be legally impossible.
Whatever it is, it's likely worth it.

Do you mean legally? I hope not. It sounds like he's feeling concerned for a person he once knew. Being confused/disturbed by the accusation didn't prevent him from being concerned.

It would suck if that was used against him legally.

I seem to remember you could board enemy ships at sea? Something like you would sail out, X-It your boat and stand on the enemy ship and then board it. The enemy ship would still be there "underneath" and you would have another ship you could use.
While it's very chivalrous of him to not want to lawyer up, what he's describing is libel, pure and simple. This "friend" of his did something completely inappropriate, and is liable to cause significant monetary damage, a possibly permanent stain on his reputation, and significant psychological distress.

Not pursuing this through the appropriate venues—the legal system—simply lets her "get away with it". That's not being nice to her, that's being in an abusive relationship and not speaking up for yourself.
I wouldn't use "beloved" to describe X, not when even its developers say "it's time to switch to Wayland".

As for Linux and choice, its desktop market share is barely above statistical noise. Platforms which limit choice, such as Windows and Mac, are much more widely used. This is because, as it turns out, consistency is preferable to choice when developing a platform. It makes it easier to run new desktop apps, it makes software integration easier, and it even makes requisitioning IT or devops personnel easier because their skills more readily translate between jobs and environments.

So the chaos of development in the 90s is settling into a focus on a few well-supported software components. This includes systemd for the startup daemon and Wayland for the display server. Everything else will be in semi-legacy status, and you will see brokenness or limited functionality in other software if you stray from the community-accepted path.

Which is actually the whole problem here. There is no proof on either side to say one is correct and the other not. So basically the whole thing will or will not hurt this guy, CAH and/or the accuser in a way that it should or should not have based entirely on who wants to believe what.

I would argue that most of the perceived value right now is speculative. The actual benefits over using USD in transactions is marginal, for most use cases.

IMO, the speculation comes from the enormous potential of the idea. What is something you can do with an electronic currency, not tied to a single government, which has a great deal of value to the average person?

I don't know the answer to that question, but I see most altcoins as people trying to crack this nut. It seems likely to me that someone will find a use, partly just because the cost of attempting it is quite low.
