https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_differences_in_intelligenc...

According to the 1994 report "Intelligence: Knowns and Unknowns" by the American Psychological Association, "Most standard tests of intelligence have been constructed so that there are no overall score differences between females and males." Differences have been found, however, in specific areas such as mathematics and verbal measures.[9]

When standardized IQ tests were first developed in the early 20th century, girls typically scored higher than boys until age 14, at which time the curve for girls dropped below that for boys.[8][10] As testing methodology was revised, efforts were made to equalize gender performance.[10][11][12]

The mean IQ scores between men and women vary little.[9][13][14][15][16] The variability of male scores is greater than that of females, however, resulting in more males than females in the top and bottom of the IQ distribution.[17]

I believe I heard on some radio news show that it is very rare for that particular prosecutor's office to go to a Grand Jury for a case like this. They almost always make the prosecute/not-prosecute decision themselves.

That makes me wonder if the prosecutors had concluded that there wasn't enough evidence to prosecute, but didn't want to be the ones to deliver that message. Hence, they took the case to the Grand Jury to let them be the ones to do so.
Luckily, 50 is the new 35, now that 35 year olds have figured out how to dress like 25 year olds at the office.
Wiretap laws vary state-by-state, but most require at least one party to consent to a wiretap. Some require both parties to consent, which means turning on call recording is a felony in some states, unless both parties are aware. (Which is probably why every call center starts with "This call may be recorded...").

> where we should insert things into the Constitution that aren't there, "because change."

Not sure if sarcastic, but how is it possible not to do this?

e.g. the 1st Amendment grants the right to a "free press". Are there really constitutional literalists who believe that because the word "press" as used in the 18th century contemplates the operation of a machine that imprints ink onto dead trees that we should not consider wsj.com within the scope of its protection?

Or consider that the Constitution uses male-gendered pronouns to describe the requirements and duties for the offices of Congress and the President. Are we then to infer that only men can hold these offices?

It seems to me that everybody interpolates the Constitution to some extent, and the difference is a question of degree. So quite frankly I'm puzzled how it can be an accusation against someone that they interpret the Constitution freely, as if the real moral high ground is a the belief that e.g. judicial review doesn't exist.

I've seen a lot of 5) where I work. The company that owned our business prior to the current owners had a policy of intentionally hiring local engineering graduates and building their skills. This has held wages in the area below average, I believe, because we have a solid local talent pool who don't want to leave home sweet home (myself included - it's a nice place to live). Part of this is also cost of living - you can get a very nice, new-ish 4000+ sqft house on two acres here for just a bit over $300k.

Imagine how absurd that headline would be... "Financial industry declares severe shortage in investment banking workforce -- urges swift government action".
The answer to the first question is related to an interpretation of David Hume known as Hume's Law, paraphrased as, "you can't derive an ought from an is". In other words, the results of science cannot tell us anything conclusive about ethics/morality or what we should do day to day. The submission contained the following quote regarding neuroscience from a well-regarded paper: "it 'can help us see that all behavior is mechanical, that all behavior is produced by chains of physical events that ultimately reach back to forces beyond the agent’s control.'" Some pretty drastic changes to the rule of law could result from equating such results with "there is no free will". How do we decide what ought to comprise such changes? Secondly, as exhilarating and awe inspiring as learning the results of science can be (for me at least), how do we take knowledge and do anything with it? We can use it for technology, sure. But what if tomorrow we conclusively determine there are extraterrestrial beings through the results of one of our scientific instruments? How does society respond in relation to what the discovery means to each person despite the fact the experiment says nothing about such meaning? You could also think of it all this way: what ought we to do once we know every possible provable (or Popperian falsifiable) statement about existence?

As for the second question, to me, it makes sense that there has to be a lowest level of ontology, unless the lowest level is some sort of recursive structure (which in a sense would still be a "lowest level thing"). I believe most of us expect that there is some sort of monadic entity that is equivalent to Democritus's atom. In the standard model the quark is that sort of thing (if I'm not mistaken), but the string theorists hypothesize that a lower level (think more complete, i.e. not assuming zero dimensional entities in reality) object is the basis for a quark. Or say, if we can somehow determine our universe is a simulation, then it would be nice to know what the "basement universe" that is running this universe is. Of course, it's possible such knowledge will remain forever inaccessible, in which case, we'll probably need novels and philosophy to deal with the voids left in our hungering minds.
You need to have someone to assign the PR to. Either you need a second contributor on the repo, or you need to be in an organisation with more than one member.
I worry when people brush aside ethics concerns without deep concern about the consequences. I'm not arguing for or against arbitration, I'm not well enough informed. I'm arguing against claiming you have to take an action you believe to be unethical simply because of the gain involved.

A remote generator of password generator that can be memorized

| colour="smoke.txt" dst="genpass.py" python -i

should enable you to generate from remote source pretty securely your own password generator whose patterns are based on a text file (a song in your language in occidental alphabet is quite recommended) thus close to be memorizable while way less dangerous than the actual one. For less problem deploying the assets are including with the code.

Interesting article, thanks for posting! While I agree that there has been over-extension with regards to infrastructure development especially in residential housing, one thing I think we should remember is the power the central government in China holds to change course when necessary, even when a crisis has not yet occurred (imagine living in a country that can ground all flights for a day with no explanation and people take that as par the course: http://on.wsj.com/1wVToAd). A similar point on over-extension could have been made about US expansion in the 2000s being completely attributed to the debt-induced US housing bubble, but our government had no focus or institutional power to stop that until the crisis had already occurred. In this case at the governmental level, China, with its ability to set long term policy and pre-empt crises, might have a leg up.

It seems implied that the bulk beings are the descendants of the humans on earth. That said, if we are going to have an Interstellar discussion, there are two things that confuse me about the film. Specifically:

(1) What exact role is faith supposed to play in the film? The underlying message of the movie seems to be that our human struggle to overcome mortality can be a redeeming force that makes mankind divine so long as the scientific effort is guided by love (when guided by egoism or war it becomes unpredictable and destructive). But then there is an awful lot of dialogue about Murph having faith and Tom NOT having faith and Cooper is clearly a Christ figure. So what role does Nolan intend faith to play? Is the film really secular in its message (there is no God but man), or is all of the Christ imagery a metaphor for how the love of God/Christ is hypothesized to actually work, with God as the pearl in the oyster beyond the realm of scientific perception? And if there is supposed to be a God how do we reconcile that with the narrative-level metaphor of the journey into the cosmos as a quest in search of a God who is not there (Wizard of Oz, 2001, etc.).

(2) Mann's view of love is selfish. Brand sees love as a divine cosmic force. And Cooper sees it from the perspective of social utility ("child rearing"), which interestingly mirrors his attitude to the flying drone at the start of Interstellar, where Cooper talks about giving it something "socially responsible" to do. I am confused if the film criticizes Cooper's values and praises Brand's, or whether Cooper is the positive figure who walks a line between the two extremes of selfishness and selflessness....

We've been running the beta of this captcha on https://account.oneplus.net/sign-up and while it's certainly a much better experience we also still do get some spam sign ups.

I'm not sure if these are manually solved from people hired to just solve captchas or if perhaps it's a bit too lenient. Ultimately I think the improved usability is more important than spending a bit more effort deleting spam.

I doubt the prosecutor had a choice. Grand juries are generally there as a constitutional check on the power of prosecutors, and so prosecutors are required to get an indictment for charges of a certain kind.

Note that "%x" is not the correct way of displaying the value of a pointer with printf(), since "%x" assumes that it's printing an unsigned int and a pointer may be longer than an int (e.g., on a 64-bit architecture a pointer would be 8 bytes and an int would typically be 4 bytes). The correct format to use to print a pointer in hex is "%p", which knows how long a pointer is on the current system.

For more details on printf() formats, see:

That's an interesting theory. It's got to have some impact, but I'm not sure how much. That's how I started, though -- coding games with my dad, and just got the juices flowing there and kept doing little project after project.

If it is a factor, hopefully it's being evened out, what with female gamers nearing 50% of the market over the past decade or so.

No, memory is not one big array, sorry. Objects have boundaries even though there are valid addresses below their base and above their last byte. Not everything that looks sensible from a machine language point of view is well-defined.

Ferguson jury issues no charges
Let's assume that they do this and check how the numbers work out. Say the program takes six months and they pay candidates $50000 a year while they're taking it. Google is notorious for preferring false negatives in their interview process to making bad hires so maybe 1 in 10 candidates gets offered a job at the end. The program also costs money to run. They need teaching staff, computers, space, etc. You're easily at over $300 000 and six months latency to get one junior programmer. Alternatively, they could offer someone more senior a $200 000 signing bonus, save a bunch of money and hire someone experienced. Which do you think is a better way to invest their recruiting money?
And that's why I am using Redmine, who has pretty everything a development team needs.

I completely agree with your assessment that software engineers aren't exactly fungible, but I also don't think the authors of this paper are wrong. Salaries really should be much higher than they are.

If companies started paying 2x-3x current rates they would start attracting very senior people who would spend the time necessary to retrain for the positions paying a lot more.

Also, at 2x-3x the rates, some business models would cease to be viable, freeing up the developers working on those businesses to be available for hire by the companies rating in the dough.

We really haven't begun to scratch the surface of trying to fix this problem by being more competitive with salary.

In a related but different issue, my iPhone 4S has not been able to connect to wifi since I upgraded to 8.0. 8.1 didn't fix it. It notified me of some patch today; I hope it works.

I tried a few different tricks I found by Googling, like "Reset Network Settings", but they didn't work. It's weird, after upgrading to 8.1, I had Wifi for a short period, then the next time I came back to my phone it was back to being completely gone. As in the Settings app won't even let me turn it on.

Apparently Missouri has a very broad self-defense law which would have made conviction extremely difficult.

From [1]:

"...as long as there is a modicum of evidence and reasonable plausibility in support of a self-defense claim, a court must accept the claim and acquit the accused. The prosecution must not only prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant committed the crime, but also disprove a defendant’s claim of self-defense to the same high standard."

Although, I feel like the law would not be applied symmetrically... (if Brown had shot Wilson several times and claimed it was because Wilson threatened him).
