SF doesn't have a "primarily" gay population. It might be higher than other cities on average, but it's by no means the majority and certainly not in the financial district.

My guess is here there's isn't much for office workers to be sharing with strangers -- it's kind of a weird premise unless there's some specific city wide event like a parade or a terrorist attack. Thus the next logical reason for (gay male) strangers to interact is to hookup.
This is the least subtle vote rigging I've ever seen.

"My father has hearing loss and it's bad enough that not only does he use hearing aids, he is constantly turning them up until they feedback and start ringing."

This may also be a sign that the hearing aid wasn't fitted properly — or the shape of your father's ear has changed a bit since it was fitted. Poor fit makes it much more likely for this to happen (coz speaker and mike have a more open channel between 'em, and more ambient noise gets in so folk turn 'em up more). (My dad has similar problems until he got a new ear canal mould taken.)

It may also be a sign that you're dad's hearing loss has changed since the hearing aid was chosen and he needs it adjusting, or a different type.

Feedback is usually a sign that something needs fixing ;-)
It's also computationally intensive to reconstruct all the x-ray images into a 3D model. I worked for a company that wrote software to speed this up with GPGPUs. Standard software packages took on the order of hours for one scan, while parallelism brought it down to 10s of minutes - this was just to transform the x-ray data into voxels. Not sure how long the post-processing to identify & highlight organs would take.

It doesn't matter so much for humans, though. The main market for the above-mentioned software product was research labs imaging hundreds of lab rats.
Downvoting is also an expression of freedom speech. It's quite different from censorship.

Regarding "shooting as a religious practice", well, not in the sense I understand "religious practice", that is, a regular ritual. If you're talking about "religious reasons", sure. Much in the same way that plenty of people have died for political reasons due to the actions of fringe movements, which in a democracy is not ground enough to ban the more mainstream version of these groups (eg, the actions of the banned left-wing Action Directe in France did not lead to the dissolution of the Communist Party).

While BIOS-booting does seem a bit dated, this still looks like an interesting lab to go through just to understand the bits and pieces of how PCs used to boot before UEFI.

On the flip side, I can also understand why you wouldn't want to start an Operating-system engineering course with UEFI.

Unlike BIOS (a set of historically accumulated hacks, which works in a given way because they just do), UEFI is quite a big thing, a big spec and a OS onto itself. It would probably involve quite a bit of indirection.

On the flip side (again), experimenting with the boot process on (real) UEFI machines would probably be much simpler than trying to program boot PROMs and similar stuff they resort to when experimenting with QEMU.
While I'm not likely to agree with most of the speculation here, you might find me agree that there are much, much worse places in the world than America. We are lucky to have inherited this wealth that America has.

America is extremely wealthy (it is 4% of the world population and has 25% of global wealth). With great prosperity and opportunity the conditions are laid for great freedoms. This is nearly universal. The contention for the means to survive and thrive creates strife that interrupts peace, and furthermore muddling (as was laid around the 'third' world by imperialists and globalists and proxy war - in the Middle East by Sykes-Picot, Palestine by British Mandate, Korea by General Order 1, Vietnam, Malaysia, Laos, Cuba, and Tibet all by proxy war, Africa, Philippines, countless others by colonialism) exacerbate this strife.

America did not merely innovate herself to her prosperity. Nor is 95% of the third world to blame for their poverty.

I also would bet that 95% of slaves, who would have professed to 'hate' their masters, would have jumped at the chance to become one. The two need not mutually exclusive.

America is blessed to have been culturally couched on the opportunity to steal an unstripped continent through the marginalization and genocide of millions of established native peoples, outsource the labor of its major national products to an enslaved race of kidnapped peoples and separated families up until (and to large degree after) industrialization, to have been a war profiteer of two of the world's most deadly wars (and used this leverage to establish itself as the primary gold lender of the world), and to have established itself as the world's primary protector by being the only country to have used a nuclear bomb against a civilian population and by banning the development of such weapons by others, and today by pulling strings around the world to engineer its own success.

Thank you for the Ken Hamblin book. It's now on my queue. I'll trade for a quote from a speech by Mr. President John Quincy Adams:

"She has, in the lapse of nearly half a century, without a single exception, respected the independence of other nations, while asserting and maintaining her own. She has abstained from interference in the concerns of others, even when the conflict has been for principles to which she clings, as to the last vital drop that visits the heart. She has seen that probably for centuries to come, all the contests of that Aceldama, the European World, will be contests between inveterate power, and emerging right.

Wherever the standard of freedom and independence has been or shall be unfurled, there will her heart, her benedictions and her prayers be. But she goes not abroad in search of monsters to destroy. She is the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all. She is the champion and vindicator only of her own. She will recommend the general cause, by the countenance of her voice, and the benignant sympathy of her example."

>IV antibiotics do have an effect on gut bacteria as well, it's not as simple as just not giving oral;

How so? And more importantly how much antibiotics make it to the gut, vs if you take it orally? I would guess it would be a lot less.

>It is the more common infective agents that cause the problems

I know that, but as I understand it the resistance first evolves in gut bacteria, then spreads through horizontal gene transfer. Wikipedia cites this as the main cause of antibiotic resistance: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horizontal_gene_transfer

Echoing the other comments here -- there isn't really any insight to be gained. Especially from a founder of instagram this is really surprising. I would have thought they would understood more deeply what's going on.

Here's my arm-chair analysis:

Producing content is hard. Writing, thinking, etc takes time, energy, and creativity. Typing on a small smartphone keyboard only makes this even more painful. Snapping a photo is easy and revolves around a moment -- something easier to recognize when it's worthy of sharing.

If you take twitter's original premise of 'what are you doing now' where the parody response would be 'im now sitting on the toilet', it's just not particularly interesting to read. When a turned into a photo it suddenly gains "994 words", and then you add on easy ways to enhance it with photo filters and now it turns into something far more special (even if its still just your feet on the ground). It's also remarkably easier to swipe through photos and grok what's worthy than it is to read a bunch of text. Now add that you can follow people who are visually inclined and suddenly you have a rich medium at your fingertips that's just as easy for people to participate in as well as passively observe.

All of these combine to having a unique experience that lead to explosive growth. Add a public-default and now you don't even need to have any friends in the app to still find it enjoyable, and even better if it let's you peer into the lives of celebs (if you're into that). First mover advantage certainly helped as well, as did having a walled off garden to contain the content.

That's why I think instagram worked. Now where's my FB check??! ;)

I disagree with your main point. The petitions are a good idea. We know that some petitions are not going to change the government's mind. But just having a mechanism for getting the government to consider something and provide an official response is a good idea. Previous administrations would simply ignore things they were not interested in. And journalists who get admitted to white house press conferences can often be counted on to completely ignore subjects that were of no interest to either political party.

That being said, petitions do not solve everything and the other political actions you mentioned may be called for. But even then the petition helps, as it provides an official government response which may galvanize other political action.

They are complementary. You can fully describe sound with either function of volume in time or complex amplitude (So normal amplitude + phase) in frequency. So you could just as easily say the volume is emergent property of the frequency.

Regardless it's an 1 dimensional function.

> Me : I think it should mean, you might be the next to be rescued.

But what specifically would you have done differently if you were a hostage and had received this message? Don't answer, "I'd keep up hope." "Not losing hope" is not an action.

The message has no particular call to action. That's my main point. My second point is that even if you named some specific action you'd take, someone else would have had a different idea because it's so vague.

A compassionate message could mean the world to a hostage. That's true. But a compassionate message and a useful message are not the same thing.
When I talk to younger developers, I get surprised how little they know about how the 80's and 90's computing landscape looked like.

Well, there seems to be some dissent in the choir [1]. And a growing sense among many Apple customers that it's all been downhill since Snow Leopard.

For myself, I can say that the benefits of Apple hardware are starting to be outweighed by the downsides of their software.

The right to jailbreak, and the recommendation to jailbreak, are two completely different things.

I absolutely support the right to jailbreak your device. But I would never agree to actually jailbreak my own device, and I strongly encourage others to avoid it as well.

The issue here isn't that the EFF is expressing their rights. It's the fact that if the EFF releases an iOS app exclusively on Cydia then they're endorsing jailbreaking and encouraging people who don't know any better that they should do this. I would imagine there would be some pretty negative things said about the EFF if they released a Windows application that required users to disable all anti-virus software. That's basically what endorsing jailbreaking is, for iOS.

The existence of a petition site is better than absolutely nothing. I'll even grant that a petition response isn't the right forum for addressing a personnel question. But like user 'btilly' says below, "The wording of the petition may have been very specific, but it still provides an opportunity to address the issue."

There are smart people at the White House and they understand the intent and emotional response behind the petition. To lean on the TOS to avoid a substantive response to issues raised by Aaron's case is callous disregard for the 60,000 people who signed.

The novel aspect is the very rapid exposure time at high resolution.
As far as state-of-the-art classification goes, this is not terribly impressive. See the recent results in something like:

http://cs.stanford.edu/people/karpathy/deepimagesent/

I think the impressive thing here is that the GPU is presumably doing GIANT matrix multiplications in real time. A prediction from a neural net is just a series of matrix multiplications, and matrix multiplications are about n^2.8 in complexity, so you can see how matrix multiplications with thousands of rows/columns (often what these sorts of deep image classifiers involve) are hugely computationally expensive.

So it's definitely important for real time machine learning systems to have access to this kind of linear algebra power, but the actual machine learning techniques demonstrated are not super impressive. The hardware is. Which makes sense since this is an Nvidia demo.
