This article illustrates how trans men are such an interesting problem for feminist institutions. Either you go along with the current trans party line, which is men are men, trans or cis, and they have no place at a women's institution/space. fin. This is an interesting expression of some really rigid thinking about binary gender.
Or you take the "women and trans" position and place yourself as an institution for people of oppressed genders. You include anyone in the category of not cis men. You cease to specifically celebrate femininity at that point. You also start defining yourself in terms of cis men, which can be... problematic.

I'm concerned with how this spills out in the tech industry and our current focus on gender. All of the gender equity campaigns at the moment are inclusive of women, the more liberal include trans women, but none of them appear to have any explicit inclusion of trans men or non binary gender people. Which I find curious since trans masculine people often share the same structural issues with cis women being: lack of access to STEM pre-education in gradeschool/highschool, reproductive realities which are disruptive to a tech career, lack of socialization as boys/access to old boys' network. Trans people, including trans masculine people, do not occur in large enough numbers to have multiple tech industry gender advocacy groups and the best they can do is hope that "women's" groups eventually advocate for them.

I know of zero trans men in leadership positions in tech (eg, visible senior/staff engineers at the large companies, or actual management (PM doesn't count)), but I do know of quite a few trans women in these sorts of positions and even more cis women. Of course, the trans men in leadership could all be stealth, as I am (but I'm just a cog in the machine). I've worked in tech long enough, and have heard the stories of cis men when they think they are talking to another cis man, to know that the people tech are still deeply transphobic and we have such a long way to go.
I bought a low-end Mac mini last year, upgraded it with 16 GB memory from Crucial, installed a Samsung SSD with Fusion Drive and bingo: reasonably fast desktop system for less than $900. I guess you can do it for $800 now.

The stock 5400rpm drive is unusable, but it's an easy fix if you're willing to open the box. With Fusion Drive, even a small SSD will make a huge difference.

I tried using it as I'm just learning clojure. I'm okay with learning new things if they're worth my time, but I didn't find the editor worth its resources. On OS X, Light Table uses more memory than Eclipse + Counterclockwise (on Ubuntu). After seeing that, I dropped it and went to Eclipse (save RAM and cognitive load).
That's strange - the build.sh script should run b2 as long as the $BUILDMODE is either not set or is set to 'bjam'.

Now I wish I hadn't bought a new Mac mini 6 months ago. But I really needed one then. In any case, I applaud the switch to ULV processors (like those found in ultrabooks or the MacBook Air). Anyone know if this generation of Mac mini has a fan in it? I have a serious fanless fetish.
> The browser is requesting content

In this example the browser is requesting NewYorker content from newyorker.com, which serves it. It is not requesting that content from awesomestuff.com. Awesomestuff.com does NOT serve newyorker content, only an address to it.

So who's doing the copying here? It is the person who is using their browser to copy content from newyorker.com to their PC so it can be displayed there.
Very unfortunate naming clash what with whispersystems[2010] predating whisper app [2012] and whispertext llc [2011].

I think you can change the behavior of your second issue. In System Preferences -> Mission Control if 'Displays have separate Spaces' is checked then only the one monitor should go fullscreen leaving the other to use normally.. I have it unchecked for a specific reason, but I remember before unchecking it that fullscreen was per monitor, and now it treats all monitors as one basically. I'm too lazy to log out and back in to make sure I'm right though :), give it a shot
I look at it this way: a future for humanity where everybody is cowering before "big brother" is not worth calling that. So, why would I prepare for a case that is so bad that any nuances in it are essentially meaningless? Instead, I would rather be counted as someone who bit back at the very least, no matter in how small and futile a way. If the revolution comes, that will be my Persilschein, and if it doesn't, I'd rather be taken away sooner than later. You might say, I'm not as worried about "evil" people with power not liking me because they project their own sickness, I'm rather worried about good, powerless people not liking me for IMHO correct reasons.
I appreciate the replies. I learned a lot just reading some of these sources posted. I think I misused heritability regarding eye color and my numbers are probably dated.

> None of the reported snps (rs9320913, rs11584700, rs4851266) have been mentioned in any other publication. So I don't yet see a basis for "the hits seem to be replicating pretty well".

What do you mean? As I recall, Rietveld et al 2013 used internal replication to test its hits, which worked out well. Your link is itself a another replication of Rietveld et al 2013, is it not? (What exactly did you think the abstract meant when it talked about "A recent genome-wide-association study" or "The study"?) And then there's "Genetic Variation Associated with Differential Educational Attainment in Adults Has Anticipated Associations with School Performance in Children" , Ward et al 2014; and I believe "Educational attainment-related loci identified by GWAS are associated with select personality traits and mathematics and language abilities", Zhu et al 2015 is also relevant.
"More specifically, if two people are genuine Bayesian rationalists with common priors, and if they each have common knowledge of their individual posteriors, then their posteriors must be equal."

But yes, essentially, even colloquially, if we're both rational and coming to different conclusions, then either one of is making a mistake, or one of has a incorrect assumption. In the case of there being no correct assumption ("red is better color than green"), then feel free to call it "different" assumptions.
Twitpic probably could have won a trademark lawsuit against Twitter. They'd registered "TWITPIC" as a trademark, and the USPTO had approved it, then published it for opposition. Twitter opposed it, disagreeing with the USPTO. So there was a case pending before the Trademark Trials and Appeals Board.

At the time "TWITPIC" was first used, Twitter did not have an image product. The USPTO saw no conflict with "TWITTER" as a trademark. The examiner did see a conflict with "TWITVID", so Twitpic and Twitvid cut a deal and reported that to the USPTO, allowing the trademark registration to proceed. It's quite possible that Twitpic would have prevailed in court. It won't go to court, though; Twitpic abandoned their application on October 8, 2014.

"TWITVID", meanwhile, has their trademark registered, and continues to operate.

One of the most tragic ideas to evolve in this century is the idea of "intellectual property"--that you can own an idea for years, sometimes tens or hundreds of years. That term covers things outside of copyright, like patents, but the damage the idea as a whole in its present incarnation does to our long-term culture is the same.

Ideas are intangible, not property, and someone can think the same thing as you without ever having met you or heard of you. A more accurate term than "intellectual property" would be a "short, government-protected monopoly on an idea". But we call it property, and after many years of calling that, it insidiously starts seeming to us like real property, and not the temporary monopoly it really is.

There's room for short, temporary monopolies. As the framers realized, copyright and patents are critical to fostering innovation and culture. Unfortunately, "short" went from being a very reasonable few years, to a slightly less reasonable 20ish years, to now, where if you publish a work today the chances of it being available to the public within 150 years are slim. Do a grandchild's grandchildren deserve to lord over something created by a dusty ancestor centuries ago?

In a strange and sad way, our IP regime today means that individual authors are unlikely to be remembered by history 100 years from now. Look at Project Gutenberg or Wikiart: hundreds of people from all over the world volunteer to lovingly scan, transcribe, format, categorize, and distribute works from the last few centuries. They do this because that work belongs to the public now, and their efforts keep the memories and impact of those works and authors alive. Do you think anyone will do the same for your work 100 years from now on the pain of legal threats and huge fines, or is it more likely it'll fade into oblivion?
Thank you for pointing this out!

For those wanting to avoid upgrading to a new boot2docker release you can patch the vulnerability with the following command from the boot2docker shell:

sudo sed -i "s/DOCKER_TLS:=''/DOCKER_TLS:=auto/g" /etc/init.d/docker && sudo /etc/init.d/docker restart

This will enable TLS by default and restart the docker daemon. Note that this will also kill all of your running containers.
Incomplete info or different value systems are a case of incorrect priors. If "incorrect priors" bothers you for the difference between "People should always be productive" versus "People should do what they want" then feel free to say "different priors".

The end result is the same.
Steve Jobs stated that in a Keynote, but it wasn't planned. He just sort of decided on the spur of the moment (or so I hear). As it turned out FaceTime infringed patents Apple did not control and it all turned into a mess.

This looks like a perfect 4K video editing rig: the 5K display is big enough to play 4K at 100% with lots of extra space for editor controls. Pair it with the Panasonic GH4 and you can shoot and edit cinema quality 4K footage for under $5k, which is amazing.

> As a final thought, the idea of using a VAT to finance a basic income is nice, but it doesn't help against wealth inequality, because poor people generally spend a much higher fraction of their disposable income on stuff on which VAT is paid.

Using VAT to finance a basic income is only useless for redistributing income if income is already well distributed[1]. Otherwise, rich people will pay the majority of it (regressive or not) and poorer people will get better off. You are right that there's always a certain income that (if rich people do really invest it all) the combination will be regressive, but it can always be made big enough that it does not matter.

Also that's ignoring all the other benefits of both the VAT and basic income, in that they are cheaper than the alternatives to administer and easier to control, offer a safety net that actually works, incentive risk taking, creates no barrier for improvement at any level...

[1] Of course, the actual numbers will depend on the VAT rate, and the amount redistributed.

I use gfxCardStatus ( https://gfx.io/ ) to avoid the GPU panics. I have to set my MBP to use the integrated Intel graphics and avoid using my nVidia discrete GPU. Yes, it would be nice if my OS didn't cause GPU panics (even if it's actually a bug with the GPU).
5 fingers, 2x5 = 10

4 fingers, 2x4 = 8. Same for feet => 16

7 major joints on each side of the body, 2x7 = 14

"Explanations" of this kind "explain" what was chosen, but offer no information about why it was chosen over all the other possibilities, and can always be easily adapted to "explain" the alternatives equally well, so in fact they tell us almost nothing.

Whereas we know that heliacal rising stars were used to divide the night into six "double hours" (danna) by Sumerians which gave twelve divisions of the sky. This was based on lunar months, which are a unique--albeit approximate--source of the number 12, as opposed to anatomical speculations, which clearly are capable of generating just about any number you care to name.

Furthermore, simply because knuckle-counting "just makes sense" to some modern humans does not do more than incrementally raise the plausibility of the claim that it was the source of the base-12 system in the ancient world.

If you accept that the fact that it "just makes sense" to you is somehow compelling evidence for it, you have to accept that fact that it seems completely ridiculous to me counts as compelling evidence against it. The alternative--that I am an ignorant idiot and therefore my intuitions on this matter don't count--is... empirically untenable.
As ericd says, a lot of those little flourishes actually aid human perception and cognition. Yes, we don't need giant flashy effects or lots of animation, but that doesn't mean that the most functional design is the most minimal.

The image of the back of his head became memorable to people primarily not becase of that particular photo, but because of the music on the album. So, I think, Rod Stewart himself is primarily responsible for making the image famous. He created this cultural artifact / meme.
Same here. I'm on AT&T, but bought an unlocked Verizon iPhone 6. I may not end up switching carriers in the next two years, but it's nice to have the extra flexibility for the same price I'd end up paying if I went with subsidized or Next plans.

auto-correlated downvote trend on a perfectly reasonable point: AAPL is not very innovative as Dell is launching the same monitor. Sure the driver logic might have been the subject of some consulting but if anybody thinks it will not appear within weeks on competitor brands they're kidding themselves. Everything about this display is not proprietary AAPL tech.
Verizon told me the full price of my 6 and how that was broken down based on two different plans I could choose.

In the end since I had completed and past the end of my contract on the 4s the 6 was free. Pay 200 to get it and get 200 back for returning the 4s.

There are some good deals out there but most people don't look for them or worse ignore them. There are people won't do the 4s or such trade in because "its a hassle". Yeah, they mail you mailer and you send it back in postage paid. Oh, fill out a form on the site to start the process.

There are people who don't care what the true price is just as there are people who don't want to know; they aren't the same people

Right now QRISK2 is considered the most accurate when it comes to predicting morbidity and mortality of cardiovascular events. This calculator is great, but missing one important factor if either of your first degree parents had a heart attack before 60 then you are at greater risk. This mostly ties into things like homocystine levels, hrcp, and LDL particle size, but its a good ballpark for the genetic variation.

My advice get genetically screened if you are worried and make changes. If you carry alterations on the 9p21 chromosome chances are you are at higher risk. If so you can simply eat more fruit and vegetables this has been shown in multiple studies to dramatically lower rates independent of other factors.
Correct. In addition, Twitpic wasn't a storage locker, and it never pretended to be. As its name implies, it existed for the sole purpose of posting pics to Twitter.

Further to that, I suspect most of the stuff uploaded to Twitpic wasn't actually owned by the people who uploaded it. That was certainly true in my case.

Right. Selling to Sun was the right thing for getting some nice hardware out there. Just saying, it gave Sun quite a competitive edge - probably bad idea from a business perspective. I was at Sun in that timeframe too, but not working on the E10ks :-)...
I have no idea where you get the claim from. I know many members of the C++ committee, and they expect new C++ to continue to be written, else why would they bother with C++11/14/17?
I started experiencing GPU panics on rMBP in the past week as well, I guess NVidia or related circuits have some issues. I switched it off using gfxcardstatus and now it's stable running on Intel HD only. Try to do the same - if it stops crashing, your discrete GPU might be damaged.
