Well, don't eat them then. In fact, don't eat any industrially-produced meat at all as it is not just the chickens who drew the short straw. If you want to eat chicken and have enough space to keep a few of them, raise your own. If you don't want to raise chickens but still want to eat them, find someone who raises them in a sensible way to provide you. The same goes for pork, beef and whatnot.

In practice this will probably reduce your meat consumption quite a bit, which is a good thing. Good for you, and good for us.
This is about to become a massive issue for Godaddy SSL users[1] seeing that Godaddy has still not added their G2 CA server (which signs all SHA-2 certs at Godaddy) to the default truststore for Java and some other devices/languages/platforms!

Exactly this. From what I recall, and from what I hear from several relatives and acquantances who have been teaching for years, is that traditionally the ratio was roughly 70-30 'fiction'-'non-fiction; the latter being novels, poems, plays, etc. ranging from classical to contemporary sources, the former being speeches, news articles, think pieces, analysis of literary or rhetorical techniques, etc. Common core essentially reverses this, putting a much higher emphasis on what the group of reformers behind if feel are more practical, and importantly which contribute more to test scores, whereas many teachers vigorously oppose the notion that the latter sources should be given precedence. At least in my own readings on the matter, and from speaking with individuals who are involved with the movement in the Seattle School District to block implementation of a lot of the new measures, educators tend to feel that the older ratio contributes better to a well-rounded individual, and has a better impact on long-term educational development.
Far more sensitive? I doubt that they care that other countries suffer from it, after all "everybody spies".
Surely the point of anonymous is that they're a group of people who don't care. It's a competition to be the most callous.
Given the scaling issues you mention I wouldn't say that Gates' school selection is definitive, but I'd also say it's far from irrelevant. The fact that his revealed preferences differ from his expressed ones seems like a fairly relevant data point. The level of influence he's attempting to have on education given that he has (quite deliberately) no skin in the game is at least somewhat troubling.

The problem is smartphones don't have much processing power, and what they do have uses batteries. So either they are trivial for servers to generate en masse or prohibitive for smartphones.

There's also botnets, whose resources hijackers are happy to exploit.
Pretty sure it's something related to the quality of your link. I had no issues in the past SSHing from Australia no less into DigitalOcean US DCs.

Also whilst you are testing Linode have a look into their behaviour the last few times they were hacked. They deliberately withheld information from their customers. Pretty despicable company if you ask me.
The French term for "organic" as used in "organic food" or "organic farming" is "biologique", which in its more general use translates to "biological" in English. So I suspect that the intended meaning is "organic" in the "organic food" sense (I've occasionally seen this in English, not sure if it's a standard use from a different English speaking context then I'm used to or a non-standard use.)

But, yes, all eggs are both "biological" and "organic" in the more general sense of those words.

I've actually wanted this for my car too... I've thought for several years, if there was a near-field really high speed bluetooth style interface that was similar to chromecast + touch... basically your screen in your car, when your phone is docked (near) the system will now yeild control to your phone... calls, audio, video, touch are all interfaces in the car, for the phone.

The same could be done for a desktop-like computing environment... for that matter a laptop shell... just a battery, screen, keyboard, trackpad that your phone controls.

We're really at a point where this should be doable and eminent... if say Tesla and Apple could get together on this (with very liberal licensing for other companies, as long as they meet the full spec) would be the most likely chance of this getting out there and succeeding.

Hmm, does his charitable efforts these days make up for the pain and suffering he caused back when he was a barracuda? (nice term, btw).

Does anyone have an opinion on this? I'm a firm believer people can change and while this might not be Bill Gates changing, it might simply be him "atoning for his sins" so to speak, not that I'm religious, nor that he is either I think.

The same thing you'd use open book for on homework problems.

Open book / open note changed the focus of trolling (studying) for exams. Instead of using flash cards to memorize formulas, one made sure one understood all of the homework solutions and previous exam solutions, A-Z.

Many of the formulas were far more complex than one could conveniently memorize anyway, such as the equations for jet turbine performance. And like I mentioned, none of the exam questions required mere formula plugging or had answers one could pluck out of the notes or book.
Mine is a reexport from the UK and it worked in Italy and Bulgaria (dual sim was a big plus when traveling), so surely it must work just fine in the rest of the EU.

It's honestly surprising to me that there haven't been more large-scale "attacks" / frauds committed along these lines.

If anyone knows I'm genuinely curious: why hasn't it been exploited on a large scale or what, if anything, prevents it from being exploited?

This is a very real problem.

You money is still safe even if the bank goes bankrupt, which it won't.

Doesn't make them any less secure. You do have to do your research before investing and its not the most approachable process, but you can still invest in low risk securities. If you want to cautious you can always buy treasury bonds.

You can pay attention and still not be paranoid.
> in common core where now 70% of what students are supposed to read is not classic literature, plays, poetry, contemporary fiction, but newspaper articles and speeches and the like

A brief clarification: That 70% figure applies across all academic subjects in grades 6-12, not English classes. (It's 50-50 in K-5). If one supposes a student reads 90% informational text in science and math class, and perhaps 60-70% informational in history class, that leaves room for English class to be composed primarily of literature.

This is one of the most misunderstood parts of the CCSS, and I think it's because the authors did not clearly communicate it at all. The introduction discusses the fact that the NAEP framework makes a 70/30 split, but only clarifies the nature of the split in a footnote[1]. It's unfortunate it's been poorly communicated, but the misconception should be corrected. Quoting from said footnote:

"The percentages on the table reflect the sum of student reading, not just reading in ELA settings. Teachers of senior English classes, for example, are not required to devote 70 percent of reading to informational texts. Rather, 70 percent of student reading across the grade should be informational."

precise) with a link to the Standard Markdown spec, asking him for his
feedback. Since John MacFarlane was the primary author of most of the work,
we suggested that he be the one to reach out.

We then waited two weeks for a response.

and again:

"probably" approve a name like "Strict Markdown" or "Pedantic Markdown".

Considering David Christian's history for my own uses, I know little about the quality of his work besides his endorsement by Gates (who is very smart but not an expert in these fields). Before I spend a lot of time on Big History, does anyone know:

1) What is David Christian's professional reputation among his peers?

2) What do professional historians see as the strengths and weaknesses of Big History?

3) Does he really know enough about all these subjects to provide expert knowledge and analysis? Wouldn't it be better to have the evolution section taught by an evolutionary biologist?

If these questions are answered in the article, please forgive me. I skimmed it, but it's 12 pages (converted to PDF).

The rationality of ethics depends on everyone believing they are part of a multi-round game.

Presumably one difference between this and Bandcamp is that Garth Brooks thinks that in order for such a site to be successful, it needs big-label artists. This means they've spent a whole lot of money on licensing, which makes me question their overall viability. My guess is that the licensing forces their margins to be suuuuuper thin in order to be anywhere near competing with the other big music retailers on price.

Get a benchmark for converting a single image. Use "strace -t" (or similar on your chosen OS) to see where the bottlenecks are occurring at each stage in the program's execution.

This is a linear time (O(n)) problem with a large set, so it's worth the effort to shave a few milliseconds where you can as each millisecond optimized will be multiplied 2-million-fold (about 35 minutes). Once you have an optimal configuration for single images, test a small set, then let it loose on the whole set. If you can shave off 2 seconds for a single image, that's 46 machine days right there.

Can you buffer the images onto a ramdisk during conversion? Guessing HDD IO will be a large bottleneck.

Be sure to run your single image test on different images, so you don't get false optimization positives due to various I/O caches.

What's the maximum number of images that ImageMagick will take in as a batch list? (Guessing it's somewhat short of 2M) Whatever it is, make sure to run as large a list as possible. There's a suggestion at http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/files/#image_streams but it re-initializes IM each time which sounds slow (still, can put the binaries on a ramdisk?)

You want to create a stream / "tape head" type setup where files are being processed with minimum need to re-init the conversion program. But it looks like IM6 doesn't support this so, with a sampleset of that size, you may even want to look into coding up a simple C program using libtiff/libjpeg that's sole job is to run the conversion as a stream, if you have access to such skills. It may be faster than a large general purpose tool.

Simple parallelism - create the list, split it into N (ImagickMaxNum) input list files, run on N workstations to reduce the total problem time by O/N. True parallelism (network queue-based) may be worth exploring using a queue system (RabbitMQ?) but don't try to write it yourself.

There may be situations where it makes sense to access the files via a filename mask if you can rename them (img_0 -> img_2000000) so you don't have to store and parse the file list and can use a simple increment counter.

Hope this helps! I'm no optimization guru and the above is very top-of-mind, but I enjoy these large problem sets. I'm also in NYC, would love to help out the NYPL and would volunteer some free time to do so (I need a useful side project). PM me if you'd like to talk further!

EDIT: Is this the wrong problem to tackle entirely? Can you convert the set on demand and cache-as-you-go? ie. if it's book covers that people are browsing, the first user may wait 5 seconds for an image, but that's not awful... Is there a particular reason to want to create precached derivatives?
It's really difficult for me to see Newson's work as anything but very, very anachronistic. His formal language seems to me to be hopelessly trapped in the 90s.

That being said, his range is impressive. He's capable of working in many different scales and materials. Beside the fact that he's a friend of Ive's, this seems like the best argument for him being a good fit at Apple.
Yeah, the eggs are the best. Love them raw over rice.
As I understand it, the basis for the Gates Foundation position on education is that education produces measurable outcomes, so communities should actually measure those outcomes, and then use that data to improve education.

I think that point of view should be right at home here on HN. I bet most of us believe that measurement, testing, and iterative development are helpful in producing a good product or service. However, most of the U.S. education does not work that way, and parts of it (teachers' unions) are actively hostile to it.

Some schools produce outcomes that are so good that they are "visible to the naked eye". You don't need sophisticated testing regimes to know that Phillips Andover or Bronx Science produce strong graduates. It's no surprise that the richest man in the world has picked one of those schools for his children. You probably would too, if you could.

But, most people can't--they rely on public education. And in the U.S., most school districts produce outcomes that are not obviously good, or in some cases are obviously bad. In those situations, a clear set of standards and measurements seem to me like something worth trying.

Many teachers don't like it because it puts their jobs at risk, potentially based on outcomes that they have little control over (educational outcomes appear to depend heavily on outside factors). They are also worry that the curriculum will be developed by administrators who don't actually know anything about teaching.

Parents don't like it because new currulica don't match what they learned in school as kids. Forgive my bluntness, but I think that is stupid. If there is a better way to do things, we should change.

Students, many of them, don't like changes that make them work harder in school. Personally, I'm not very sympathetic to that either.
Heh, maybe they could extend it to self-signed being neutral...

Hey I've no idea of anything, and don't have a dog in this fight either, but reading everything here I think decentralization is actually the answer. Yes, you'd not get that global reach, and your network of contacts would be severely limited (presumably to those you know). But a decentralised system could do E2E and P2P and run from home. Running that beside traditional, clear-text and consequently spam-proof email strikes me as a sensible balance.

One (open, centralized) system for global comms. Another (closed, decentralized) for secure comms. Maybe even more than one "another", if contexts require different audiences.
Though I guess it isn't a dealbreaker, iPhones currently don't have the low persistence OLED displays used in this Samsung device. The resolution is also lower, but I suppose that isn't likely to remain an issue after the Apple announcement.
