Here's the issue. The article says "In the US, the CDC reports that one in 3,000 children will have febrile seizures after an MMR shot." At least 3 million babies are born every year in the US [1], this equates to at least 1k kids having a visible reaction (seizures) to the shot every year. With numbers like this, there will be some push back as someone will most likely know someone who had an issue with the shot.

I'd be happy to upload scans of one of my more recent short stories, "Pink Paint Rain," simply to show how much true effort goes into massaging lines and language a la code.

Finished version: http://www.scribd.com/doc/156040925/Pink-Paint-Rain-Vernon-W...

I have about 7-10 print outs of the story with mark ups. Before switching to English & Creative Writing I was in Computer Science and pretty skilled with C++ at the time, so I can come up with a decent correlative:

Every version I printed was like running it through a compiler - this is to evidence that even if a piece of code or a line of text is functional, is it efficient, and, if at all possible, an excellent construction? These are subjective concepts that are innate in language. There may be several writers who can put words to paper directly from their head with no revision process - hell, it's what I do when I'm "practicing" on my IBM Selectric III to commit to writing in permanence (think before I type) - but for the greats, it has always been an iterative process.

To keep this from being all about me, allow me to provide a link to something that may be to your liking:

What I find more interesting is the intention to make a THREE.js renderer for it. It's an interesting exercise to work out how to make the 3D objects, and the lighting was particularly impressive. But presuming that something like THREE.js is available to you, then what advantage does this provide over the already available WebGL or Canvas2D renderers? Getting access to hardware accelerated texture mapping in the exceedingly rare cases where a particular browser version on a particular set of hardware with a particular OS has hardware acceleration for rendering DOM but has for some reason failed to implement--or intentionally blocked--WebGL?

The suicide rate in federal prisons is lower than that of the general population as well. Does that mean that the quality of life is higher in federal prisons? Or is it simply that Foxconn employees feel so trapped by their conditions they are deprived of even the ability to take their own life? Perhaps with enough rhetorical gymnastics we can disassociate Xu Lizhi's experience from the electronics in our pockets and our own culpability in the suffering of others. If you wish to discuss the underlying mental health issues than do so. In the meantime I think criticism of Foxconn, Apple, Samsung, and the systemic use of neofeudal labor is perfectly valid.
Sure, because nothing screams "obvious" like a setting that's buried four layers deep.

I agree, though, that the menu structure made it about as obvious as was possible.
We're kind of talking about two different, but very similar, topics.

One is that Indian work culture is long hours, 6 day weeks, get it done and do it inexpensively. This is true, it's cultural. Some of their practices prefer manual and repetitive work over a style which requires a drawn out preparation involving planning and automation. If you're paying $15/hr for highly skilled labor, that can make sense.

The other is racial, the belief that can become a part of that work culture, where people who do not work like that are inferior workers. Given the rarity of Indian work culture and cultures similar to it, it's still cultural, but more racially limited. Someone of Asian descent, used to working in sweatshop style conditions, sees someone who doesn't look like they're used to it, and they assume the non Asian is an inferior worker, then it's racial. It's anecdotal, but I've been on the receiving end of both unspoken and spoken racism, veiled as cultural differences, about how North Americans are lazy and cheat their employers.

That said, I'm typing this out well aware of how this looks. It's important to note that I know not all Indians are like that. It's just a hard habit for people who spent 5, 10 years working long hours like that to break, and it's not always easy for them to look at a worker creating equivalent output with different methods in less time and say "yeah, that person works as hard as I do."
For my beloved student Saamer Akhshabi
you sound practical...gasp!!! ;)
I try my best to break people of that awful habit. I also find that I'm usually happy enough dealing only with people who can manage to open a pdf (or any other non-proprietary format).
:-) ... and fyi, two things I want to know all the time are how much unbilled already completed work do I have on a given project, and all the stats summed over all projects for a given client. I have to solve unbilled-completed by subtracting estimated from unbilled, and add the others up manually. If the relevant time span is over more than one month, this becomes extra painful.
Thanks! It's a "high-level summary" of all necessary steps needed to host the site with the described technologies. Reading it:

"I start up the build host, then once it’s responding, I scp my unikernel, mir-www.xen, over to its filesystem. The blog is currently about 17 megabytes (mostly high-resolution embroidery photos), so this is starting to take a while; soon I’ll have to do something smarter."

"Each deployment makes a 1GB snapshot, so soon I’ll have enough snapshots on EC2 that I’ll have to go in and delete a few."

What's the size of the final binary that actually runs? 17 MB or 1 GB?
Yes I think it's semantics - different yet valid ways of looking at the same phenomenon.
I think up-or-down votes or referenda are more appropriate for that. Multilateral treaties are inherently legislative documents, and legislating-to-legislate looks like a self-defeating increase in complexity - there's a reason that governments have executive as well as legislative functions, even though they ,may not always yield results we like in the short term.

I mean, imagine if the votes of US senators on individual issues were governed by the outcome of votes in state legislatures - you'd have a more responsive democracy on the face of things but in practice legislative work would slow to an utter crawl and you'd have even more procedural maneuvering than we do now.

I'm personally hoping the incoming congress gives the President fast-track authority to negotiate both the TPP and TTIP, which would be a shrewd political tactic; while I don't much like that it might benefit the GOP, that's outweighed by my support of free trade and my low opinion of economic populism and national sovereignty (just to be up=front about my political biases).

This is personal experience, so I'm not trying to be intentionally glib. Maybe for one person. For distributing to two to five people, this is a terrible idea, because here's how Mr. Murphy rolls: As soon as you get edits from A, B, and C of the team back, and update the document and are ready to distribute another version, the last person Y will submit their content. Person Y's content edits something that Person B already edited. This kind of thing snowballs...hard. It's not about them seeing the past, it's about appropriate control for the future (aka the deadline).

I mean, I know how to really whip the donkey spit out of "Compare" and the available tools, but until you've seen just how sideways this stuff can go, there's always room for a professional pest...an expert Proposal Writer...there's so much learned in the trenches that we all have a certain cynicism built up, and that's the fuel that gets the junk in by deadline time.

While I understand the point that you're trying to make, I think that characterizing suicide this way is unhelpful. It ignores the fact that most of the people who end up committing suicide are deeply sick, and does nothing but make these ill people feel further disconnected from society.

Suicide and depression are incredibly complex issues, and these kind of oversimplifications don't help anyone.

So what's the advantage of doing this over just using S3/CloudFront static hosting? In either case your attack surface is essentially that of AWS itself and S3 hosting seems like it would be much simpler (and almost certainly much cheaper).
I agree, but in a typical combustion engine there is also a comparable amount of stress on connecting rod bearings and the typical design of a crankshaft also puts a lot of side-force on the entire piston and rod assembly.

I can't find enough information on their "reciprocator" to see how it differs from other swash/wobble-plate based axial engine designs.
I'm surprised a Swedish prison doesn't provide a vegan diet. Prisons in California provide a number of different diets, although I'm not sure about vegan. It's a large expense for them.

But that said, I think there are times to give up on your vegan diet having to do with the culture that you find yourself immersed in. This has nothing to do with prisons, but if you're traveling in a culture where veganism is unheard of you should be a good guest and not push your beliefs on them, making your hosts uncomfortable. Just eat the meat.

In the West veganism is a luxury. A fetish for the rich and it is classist. Even outside of the West eggs and animal fat (not meat) are an important diet of many poor people.

GM’s next-gen infotainment system to run Android–not Android Auto–in 2016
Actually the naming of parameters do have meaning in many programming languages and changing a name of a parameter is there considered a breaking change. In both Python and c# you can call a function like foo(bar=4), where bar is the parameter name. Whats interesting here is also that python is dynamic and c# staticically compiled. Automatic mapping of functions to xmlrpc or other serializing would be another example.

I'd say that angulars behavior here is very unexpected, by mapping parameter names to registered controllers, but I'm not sure if the minifier can be said to be incorrect. If javascript has a way to get the names of the parameters, is it then incorrect to assume this can be used? Strictly speaking if you want to conform fully almost nothing can be minified since object==dictionary but you have to draw the line somewhere, maybe parameter names are moving over that line.
"I'm a parasite on the sick system because I want it to die. I don't see anything against Ayn Rand philosophy here."

Oh, I agree with you completely. Most of her critics will say that her system is obfuscatory bullshit to distract from the fact that it's no more sophisticated than the plain old selfishness that you see in every preschool. It's just that Randroids don't usually admit that they are societal parasites, so your candor is refreshing.

Also, to be clear, I'm not sure if you're joking about exploiting the banks. Isn't your beef with Congress that they used taxpayer money to bail the banks out? Is it really that hard to see that you're exploiting the taxpayers, too? Don't you see that "the banks" are nothing but a bunch of people just like you, thinking they're not part of the exploitation of the taxpayer?

Making such generalisations is dangerous; for example, suicide when one is terminally ill and in terrible pain could be seen by many as the sensible thing to do.
So your argument is "If the NSA is any good, they must know about every vulnerability in the world before the private sector- otherwise they are incompetent"?
I was using some implicit assumptions made by crdoconnor (without which the `"need to work" -> PWA > BI` implication falls apart). The first, that "work" implies something you can reasonably be paid for. And the second, that there's some dependence on others in order to do the work.

Alternatively, you can re-word my argument if you'd like - the human need to work doesn't imply that BI is insufficient because people can find meaningful work on their own.

I thought the first argument was clearer, but your comment forced me to think harder about the second - and in retrospect, I think it makes more sense put that way.
It's either that way, or the old trick / saying "Wait until you've finished your piece before writing the introduction paragraph, because how else are you going to know what the whole thing is about?" Chicken or egg, YMMV.
Ah, it makes me truly happy to hear that! The frontpage video you're referencing took me an insane amount of time to finish. I hadn't done that kind of 3d stuff before, so I had to redo it a few times. Also, as I couldn't afford to get custom music made, I had to buy a song, which meant editing everything to match the story of the music, instead of the other way around. It's a very intersting creative way to make a video.

Anyhow, thanks again, really appreciate the comment. I'm available on mathias@timelyapp.com if you ever have questions.
I'm sorry… English is not my native tongue. But I'm learning fast. :)

That is not true. What gave you that impression?
Oops you're right, I thought the initiative had a provision for the dispensaries to sell to everyone, but that will have to happen in the city council. Grosso has a bill pending for it, but media doesn't seem to think the council is in a hurry; they'll at least wait out congress.

I'm trying to track down my source for the approval, but the general thought seems to be that the republicans other than Andy Harris (aforementioned super opposed member) are less likely to start a fight where they're in the minority on a "state's rights" issue during what should be a quiet legislative session.

Harris isn't a committee chair so he can't bring up the ban/amendment without help. I don't know the committee politics to well enough to know this is likely; but usually they sneak these things in as budget riders which takes the approval of the committee chair.

It can be as beefy as it needs to be. There is no constraint there to limit the design.

It is actually an extremely flexible concept from what I can tell. Need a longer stroke? Add more angle to wobbler. Need more Torque? Expand the wobbler diameter.
Capitalism indeed seems to consign the masses to work that is drudgery and is intellectually beneath them, but so does socialism.

Every socialist experiment I'm familiar with has almost instantly devolved into a form of a capitalism based on social pull with the bureaucracy rather than financial leverage. The final endpoint of this trajectory seems to be the mafia state -- pure social pull capitalism within criminal-state complex hierarchies.

If there's a solution here, it may not lie within politics as we ordinarily think about it.
No mention of meeting fuel economy and emissions requirements. Both of those are big topics that engine builders have to consider, with the 35mpg fleet-wide average that cars sold in the US must meet in about a decade. Having grown up in an age filled with car exhaust from carburated engines, I don't miss it a bit -- I like having clean air.

One of the comments to the article mentioned the difficulty in keeping high-pressure seals working. It was in conjunction with Wankel rotary engines, which have always had problems with the rotor tip seals leaking (ask any Mazda RX owner...) This engine has the same problem on the intake/exhaust end, as the piston carrier rotates past the openings.

Ah yes, the old "this has be discussed before" statement that assumes that everyone has already read everything and that new people to the group should always search through old posts about subjects they may not even know exist. Because nothing must ever be discussed more than once.

Usually stated by people who feel the need to comment in the thread about an article covering a subject they've already read about; just to point out they don't want to read about the subject again. It's like a driving need to spread their negativity towards discussing anything more than once.
The comment is just derision by someone who respects the authority of conventional power and is unsympathetic to someone having a fundamentally different but consistent stance.

I live in LA county. The reason the initiative failed in LA county is that we had a rash of fly-by-night MMJ dispensaries popping up everywhere. They looked shady: armed guards standing outside, blacked-out storefront windows, typically not run/owned by anyone identifiable in the community. The look from the street was like a massage parlor or strip club.

When cities, like LA proper, tried to regulate them by establishing a permit process, the MMJ dispensaries fought back in the courts (which is their right), and there ensued a legal cat-and-mouse game that stretched on for years. Because medical MJ is used in CA as a surrogate for legalization, it was hard to have an honest debate.

Given the failure of local regulation, there was a backlash against going farther. It'll work itself out. And then we'll see how it looks, because as with everything else under the sun, legalization won't be a panacea.

SALESFORCE
Was the self-immolation of Mohamed Bouazizi a selfish and cowardly act?

Is it cowardly and selfish to continue using these products? Do you have any kind of exit strategy or utopian vision where everyone, even Foxconn workers can afford a fashionable new iPhone?

In 100 years, we've gone from using slaves for labor to using machines built by wage slaves for labor, mostly because using slaves for labor makes us feel too guilty. Many would call that selfish and cowardly.

I don't endorse suicide, but I don't think it helps anyone to reduce a complex and heartbreaking situation like this into a simple othering.
