No, vaccines do not all cease at 7 years. For those that do wear out, keep in mind that adults do not respond the same way to as children to all diseases. For example, Tetanus is bad in an adult, so we routinely take boosters for Tetanus. Adults are pretty resistant to Pertussis and don't get as bad a disease when they do get it, so it's not critical that adults get boosters for that.

You comment about hygiene is entirely misinformed. Hygiene is important for Ebola and Herpes, but not for any of the diseases we get immunizations for.

You write "People who choose not to use them are not a problem because if they were then every adult who hasn't had a vaccine in seven years is also a problem so the blame should be pretty thin." Again, that's entirely wrong. Adults, as I mentioned above, are not the carriers. Secondly, please go to Wikipedia and understand "herd immunity". It is the reason measles was eradicated in the US even though some religious minorities opted out, and also the reason measles is back not that anti-vacc nonsense has become popular.
Curious - there are a lot of ways to say the terminal "so." I would have thought that ellipses (so...) capture the affect with which most people deliver it, but the hard stop actually adds a nice twang to it. I imagine the speaker quickly saying it, pursing their lips slightly and tilting their head to one side while maintaining eye contact with the other party in the conversation.

But yeah, totes agree on the design/aesthetics. It's pretty 2008 freeware-tier.
Hi David, yes - that's a VERY common use case that is in our TODO list
It is also not up to government to dictate people how they should bury their dead. But if there's epidemy going on - government can and should handle the dead aproprietly to stop the epidemy.

This is common sense, really - your liberty stops where it infinges on others liberty. People not vaccinating their kids threaten others lives. Government is there to protect them.
As others have noted, this is a rebranded Accompli. Reviews on Accompli should be relevant.

I find Accompli to be decent and I'm happy to see Microsoft move quickly with it post acquisition. I have noticed a few crashes on my Nexus 5, but in general it works well. I would recommend it over the Google provided Android solution.
I was in an ACM programming competition in 2004(?) where one of the competitors was blind. It was hosted by LSU.

Right, but they aren't losing the ability to monetize the content they want, as the parent comment suggests. They are restricted from ContrntID, but they can still upload and monetize video.

Personally I don't really like these changes, but let's not be disingenuous.

So the claim is that playing with computers at a young age is vital to the development of programming skill, just as the Hasbro game "Operation" is for physicians.

Your claim about no vaccine being effective past seven years is 100% nonsense. http://www.immune.org.nz/duration-protection-efficacy-and-ef...

Yes, well, I used "payment processing" as an umbrella term here.

Because what you mention is in fact one of the things that people often only realise after they're already halfway into implementing a pretty Stripe binding; "Oh, oops, we have to send proper invoices, too". And then "Oh, dunning, pro-rating, etc. turns out a lot more complex than I thought".

I've been there a few times, it can be done, but it has been a nightmare every single time.

If you needed to find an outlet, would you have to change anything other than where you were sitting? Maybe you're in a large city and all the outlets are taken at coffee shops? I mean I can even find outlets at fast food restaurants. I'm not in college, I work remotely, so I'm moving around as much as anyone out there. It's not uncommon for me to work from three locations in a day and it's highly uncommon for me to only work from one.
> For a recent example look at Ebola. Many people simply can't get it because they are too healthy.

I can't start to grasp how wrong is this claim
The relevance is that men currently dominate the hackerspace "scene". How men react to women that don't fit societal norms would tend to dictate how women in tech are going to be treated.

>The whole point is the original claim that men don't know how to act around women, as if there was some special way of dealing with women that makes them inherently different from men in a way that could go against the expectations of modern gender equality politics.

This is a general statement, there are deviations of course: Men tend to (often aggressively) challenge each others ideas, building off of the criticism. Women prefer a more nurturing approach. Hell, I would prefer a more nurturing approach :)

How does React Native handle OpenGl ES calls? Does it convert Webgl calls to native OpenGL or provide an interface to directly make native OpenGl calls from javascript?
Extremely certain, except of course for workplaces outside my experience, which is most of them. One thing I hadn't considered when I first posted was the impact of H1B workers, which I guess would vary depending on the culture of origin.

Importing foreign workers obviously isn't to make the workplace representative of the local citizens or even residents.

I know that women in tech experience a different brand of socially awkward interactions than men suffer, but to suggest that there's bias against them making it more difficult to succeed (as opposed to the opposite - people rooting for them and ready to to help) is just a bridge too far for me.
How useful a barrier is the earth itself for the initial burst? Would there be any benefit in arranging to be on the opposite side of it for the duration?
From the CDC (http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/vpd-vac/measles/vacc-in-short.ht...):

> This replication causes the body to develop an immunity that, in 95% of children, lasts for a lifetime.

The seven years claim is clearly false. Vaccines don't work 100%, but they can grant lifelong protection.
While the frequency of words drops off precipitously, there's also the fact that the set of all thoughts one might want to convey is incredibly vast, so within any given conversation there will probably be at least a few words which otherwise rarely appear.

Reading the article, the community backed off from vaccination following two kids having a bad reaction to an MMR vaccine.

It wasn't "personal choice" or "religious exception." They had a bad experience and were scared away.
I do a lot of Javascript for the front end SPA of our WCF based api, so I'm content with both js and C#, I try not to get too hung up on either language's respective baggage.
Another way to think about it is kinda related to pg's stratified design. At the lowest level, you have things like system services, files, sockets, perhaps other processes. Regular old code may use those abstractions - or not - and build new stuff. for example parsers, matrixes, http responses, database connections.

Just like regular old code helps you manage the relationships between an input file and an output file, the type system helps you manage the relationship between libraries, or sets of functionality in your code. I don't care what type of data you pull from the database, but that type must agree with the type of matrix you're constructing. The parser may return a syntactically correct tree, or an error. One use of the type system is to ensure that all possible error conditions are handled in a meaningful way.

You can do this in java, but haskell's type system is a bit more expressive, so it's easier to enforce higher level constraints.

Another way to look at it, the type system is like the algebra axioms you want your system to follow. if equality is reflexive, a == b, then also b == a. At that level we don't care if a is 5 or "hello" or @TcpConnection(0x1342341a).
Google was a premium partner in the Prysm NSA program. According to the first leaks, Google along with Facebook, Skype and Apple were the first to sign up to the NSA spying programs as partners.

All along they're trying to paint themselves as victims of the spying, which is ridiculous really...but I guess they can still fool a large population.
That makes the risky assumption that every future government will consider itself bound by the ban on ex post facto laws.
As a follow-up, the General Manager of Amazon WorkSpaces reached out to me and asked for my feedback. This is one place where the Ikea-analogy holds true. Just like Home Depot, Amazon has workers that engage with their customers and know how to build; like Ikea, getting a Google employee's attention typically requires a plane ticket and a healthy dose of good luck...

AWS, I still <3 you.
I work on ConceptNet, which does this.

http://conceptnet5.media.mit.edu
Every field you mentioned had the same male majority, yet they all failed to keep women out. Well, almost every field you mentioned - actuaries were quite successful.

http://www.prb.org/pdf08/scientistprofiles/occprof08_actuari...

If you want to appeal to "bog-standard human behavior", it would help if you showed that computing, physics and actuary have "bog-standard human behavior" while law and medicine don't. As I said, not even correlation has been demonstrated.

Just so that you can understand what I mean by "correlations", let me demonstrate with a different theory. Theory: women are less likely to have high quantitative ability, so fields with higher quantitative ability requirements will have fewer women. Demonstrating a correlation would involve showing a downward sloping graph with quant ability requirements on the X-axis and %women on the Y-axis. Like the graphs here:
http://slatestarcodex.com/2015/01/24/perceptions-of-required...

Then I'd need to present evidence that women are less likely to have high quant abilities. Like in these papers here (note that the abstracts have been creatively worded to be published, skip to the data tables): http://www.sciencemag.org/content/321/5888/494.summary http://www.jstor.org/discover/10.2307/2889145?uid=3738256&ui... http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21038941 http://www.ams.org/notices/201201/rtx120100010p.pdf

Simply pointing out that humans act like humans fails - it predicts flat graphs rather than downward sloping ones.
To some extent the virtual DOM is what enables that, because it allows that style of programming while still having good performance.

Second paragraph, booster shots. Also, that CDC link is not based on science. More a combination of marketing and the effects of hygiene and nutrition. Same for the immune.org link.

Seems like the gag orders are "don't tell these suspects that we're monitoring them". Seems quite legitimate and essential in ordinary cases. But we need a robust court system that will restrict gag orders to legit things, rather than suppressing dissent.
The cost of incorporating in the UK is cheap but you're creating a legal entity so there's more to it than just coming up with a name and parting with the cash. I'd have a read of the following to get an idea of what it entails and what other options you have:

An interesting persuasive technique here: When they linked to "some filmmakers" not using this scheme my guess before clicking was it would be to a scene in The Grand Budapest Hotel. I've never thought about color in film before so this didn't feel like it should be an easy guess unless the article is correct about how pervasive orange/blue is, so when it loaded and it was correct it added a lot of emotional force to the argument. Though I suspect it is actually a pretty easy guess: they didn't choose a random film, they chose an extreme, recent, popular counterexample to their argument. I'd bet my mind was already thinking about that movie in the background while trying to come up with counterexamples, and they successfully turned this into enforcing their argument rather than the opposite.
> Google still seems to me like the least sleazy company to help you monetize your music

I don't know...even if you sign with the worst of the traditional record labels, once your contract is up the rights to monetize your own works revert back to you. With Youtube (so far) it seems that if you refuse to sign with them, they still claim the right to monetize your works even if you don't upload them yourself. They take away the artist's control over their own works without even a contract in place. That's extremely sleazy if you ask me.
>Classic software worked just fine, in its day. //

So, it doesn't work now?

The main question would be 'how much more productive one can be now than before?'. It would be nice if there were independent quantative studies on this - as word-processor use is a central part of most governments administrative functions I'd imagine that one can't move for the vast number of such studies ... lol.

I'm guessing that the UI changes between Wordstar and Office 2015 amount to a tiny change in the time needed both for training and useful production of word-processed documents. When it comes to spreadsheets I can see things have probably moved on - at least in speed of processing if nothing else.

I'd love to ask, of the top 100 functions used - how many weren't in office applications 5 years ago, 10 years ago? How has the average time per word in production of business letters changed (reduced?) over time and what specific [versions of] applications caused the greatest change?
Well, they do have that right, but Zoe also has the right to expose those terms to public scrutiny. Google and other monetization networks tend to promote the fact that buy paying them you're also supporting the artists, and if that's a lie, end users are rightly going to be pissed.
No, again, you're creating a strawman. I never said it was vital; just that it helps a lot. And I see no reason such a claim would require a similar effect to be present in every industry.

In fact, the evidence supporting the idea that programming is special in this regard is precisely that you don't hear doctors talk about how they had spent their childhood years endlessly playing Operation, while meanwhile you do hear many great hackers say they spent their whole childhoods playing with computers (or, when unavailable, then the nearest facsimile: taking apart electronics, playing with Game Genie codes, building erector sets...)
Command languages as game user interfaces
Another angle to sales that I'd love to hear more about is how sales affect multiplayer games through their communities. When I'm considering purchasing an multiplayer game that has been out for a while I'll try to get a sense for the size and 'health' of the community. If the player base is small I know I'll only get in the occasional game and be learning to swim around hyper-experienced sharks. If the player base is larger I'll expect learning the game is more fun / less punishing.

Both as a newcomer to a older game and as an 'established' player my perception is that sales tend to bring in a bunch of new players juicing the number of active players/servers for a time (good thing). Because of network effects in MP games, I'd imagine that injecting some fresh new blood into a community is a good way to attract more players even after the sale is over.
Got a cite for that "seven years" figure?

According to this web page, lots of vaccines last more than 7 years, with some lasting for life:

http://www.traveldoctor.co.nz/vaccinations.aspx

Of those that don't last for life, adults do get booster shots. I don't know why you think they don't. I get a flu shot every year and I get boosters for other diseases every so often when I have a physical.

I don't immunize my child because she's marginalized and powerless to resist. I do it because it's a cheap, easy, and safe way to reduce her chances of discomfort, disability, and death. Her mother and I often try to get our vaccinations at the same time she does so we can show her that she's not alone.

BMI is a simplistic, general indicator of relative size, one of many, and it's main purpose is be more accurate than body weight alone. For the majority of people it's correct. Almost every time I hear someone complain about it, they use the same old tired excuses ("it's muscle!", "it doesn't take enough factors into account!", "I'm big boned!", etc).

Why would anyone care? Because unfortunately science has gone and proven common sense true in the form of correlation between being overweight/obese and higher health risks and lowered longevity. So while BMI may not have started as a health indicator, it's now linked as one.

Look, unless you are bodybuilding heavily or a professional/elite athlete, the BMI is probably pretty accurate. If you don't think it's good enough you can always do other measurements, such as body fat percentage or waist circumference, or hell, even get a blood panel done (cholesterol, glucose, etc). For example, my BMI was 26.3 at one point in time. My waist was also 40inches, and I was pinching 52mm on my belly, so yeah, BMI was spot on. Thankfully, weight loss is possible, and I'm down to a BMI of 21.4, along with improving my functional fitness greatly.
If you look at all the top privacy theorists, one of the standard arguments for privacy is that it protects minorities and other people whose opinions are currently unpopular for whatever reason. But if you look at a lot of the recent writing coming from the feminist movement, over the last year there have been a ton of folks arguing that privacy mainly protects men and those currently in power, and actually oppresses women and minorities. Not sure what's going on here, but it's certainly something worth keeping an eye on.

According to the text of the article, that's not true. The gag orders were to prevent the attorney from getting bad publicity. I suppose that they wrote "keep suspects in the dark" or the equivalent legalese in the motion, but the real reason appears to be otherwise.
Anyone that wants to "call you out" for making source code available, for free, to what was a closed-source application is petty at best.

I get the pedantic nature of calling it "open source," but the idea that OP has to not only make the source available, but also allow others to resell it in order to be a good citizen in the OS community is disappointing to me.

Your point is well taken, I just find it unfortunate that people think this way.
The reason I'm so confident is that I, and everyone I know, personally welcome and would hire and help competent women and bright-but-just-starting-to-ascend-the-learning-curve ones too. I've coached a female colleague in preparation for a successful job talk at Google, for example (same as I'd help any colleague I thought had a shot and asked me).

I've admitted that I don't know the culture in every company and part of the U.S. and do think if we're serious about protecting women from unfair discrimination we need to screen out whoever, due to cultural differences, cannot be professional in hiring and working with women). Professionalism is a pretty low bar and I'd expect even H1Bs from more gender-traditional cultures to be able to pass it, no matter their private preferences+beliefs.
That's definitely the part of the movie i remember most, 16 years later: that feeling of flatness in the matrix that they emphasized by the green and black. You'll also notice, if you go back and watch it, that everything in the matrix is angular and well defined where as in the Nebuchadnezzar everything is curved and messy with pipes and wires leading to nowhere in every shot.
gergoerdi covered analysis, but composition is simple. For any two Applicatives F and G and value type A the following 4 values are all Applicative values

F (G A)
G (F A)

But for monads only the first two are monads for general monads F and G. So, Applicatives compose better!
