No no. They are talking about habits here. Twins are more likely to have the same kinds of diets and exercises and overall similar lives, which in turn lead to them being in similar shape. It was difficult for them to find divergent twins. But once you are looking at divergent twins they the exercise and lifestyle became quite important.

Your habits and lifestyle are basically pre-determined by a certain age but as the article shows, they are not set in stone because lifestyles may change.

I absolutely promise you that you have used a monoid. Addition is a monoid!

The thing you might not have done is recognized that a subset of the rules of addition end up showing up all over the place and therefore you can translate some of your intuition about addition to these other places.

As a simple example, you might notice that the `length` function converts strings to numbers in such a way that

length(concat(X, Y)) = length(X) + length(Y)

in other words, length converts the "string monoid" to the "addition monoid" in a very neat way. You can sort of see that it converts "concat" to "+".

This isn't even some kind of mumbo-jumbo "intuition translation". It's a literal dyed in the wool functional translation.

So is there reason to believe that monoids won't be going away anytime soon? I think so—they've already been around and in HEAVY use since the dawn of abstract algebra in the, I dunno, perhaps the 30s?
Are these "anti-abuse tools" going to be as poorly-made as the GG blocker? Because if so, you're going to do more harm than good.

EA has at least one other strategy, with EA Sports: every year they come out with a new and improved Football, Basketball, Hockey, Golf, etc. and people get it. Madden NFL has been going since 1988.

To be fair, EA Sports did discontinue some of their less popular games, such as Rugby and Cricket.
On the plus side, it looks like there is a vacancy in the simulation game market...
I'm still waiting for the explanation of why this was OK. "Every secretary of state has done this." or, "appropriate and very common among high elected officials."

When i think about the email requirements of any corporation, every real job I've had, the use of personal email for company business is against policy and would be a fireable offense.

Also interesting to consider the FOIA is more fearful to a politician, than having this private email service hacked by a foreign intelligence service. state department is essentially an adjunct to the CIA at the highest levels, so this is a real risk.
And even that might be deceiving.

First, with the dilution trick (like Facebook did against a founder). Second, the voting vs. non-voting stock.

Also, if you happen to leave the company you likely have to buy the options. If you don't have the cash, you're screwed. If you have the cash, you might end up in unsellable-stock limbo for years. In their case, about a decade and still counting.
Except everyone has work and family pressures. The ones who didn't exercise were asked why not and regurgitated some empathy-raising excuse.

The reporting on this story has been pretty terrible. Wired just running with the AP story without spending the couple of minutes it takes to verify the details is shameful.

The clintonemail.com domain was registered by Justin Cooper [1] and the MX records point to mail servers run by mxlogics.net, now owned by McAfee, not some solo server in Clinton's home. The sole evidence from the AP report is:

> It was not immediately clear exactly where Clinton's computer server was run, a business record for the Internet connection it used was registered under the home address for her residence as early as August 2010. The customer was listed as Eric Hoteham.

A business record for an Internet connection doesn't prove anything, let alone the location of an email server. A history of the MX records [2] is evidence of the location and management of the email server, which has always been set to a mxlogics domain. That it took me only 5 minutes to gather his information but unsourced reporting is being parroted is poor journalism.

This has me wondering if Oculus hasn't been spooked a bit by Valve's announcement that their VR system will be available for purchase in Q4 2015.

I've never heard them position the Samsung Gear VR as the "official" Oculus consumer solution; it always sounded like to them "full consumer" would mean an Oculus-branded unit on store shelves, not a unit developed and branded by a third party that happened to use some Oculus tech. And they've been pretty clear in the past that 2015 was not going to be the year that Oculus-branded hardware was going to reach consumers. (Here's an example from back in January of Oculus CEO Brendan Iribe making noises that even 2016 might be too optimistic: http://www.ibtimes.com/oculus-vr-ceo-brendan-iribe-if-you-do...)

Now Valve says they'll be on shelves in time for Christmas, and suddenly Oculus has a "full consumer" solution ready to go by the same time. Mirabile dictu! But that "full consumer" solution isn't the "CV1" Oculus-branded consumer product, but a spiffed up version of Samsung's already-released Gear VR. Hmmm.

It feels like Valve's announcement put them on the spot; like they felt that now they had to have something they could put on shelves at the same time, or cede Valve a chance to lock up the market, and the Gear VR was the only thing even semi-Oculus that could realistically meet that schedule. So Oculus anoints Gear VR as their consumer solution, and makes like that was the plan all along.

2) the bike is not paddle assist, we might have something in the future though ;).

3) No way to fold it but you can carry this on a bus, train or a car easily on a bike rack.

4) yes they are chargeable!

5) We will look more into this forsure. :)

6) yup! Thanks for the suggestion! Will look into it more!
Thank you for discussing this article. We value everyone's feedback which is why we're answering your questions. We didn't think of listing how many other companies we've worked with on this issue, but we will try to add in that type of information in future articles when possible.

It is a bit hard to put how many companies we've worked with because like you noted we aren't always allowed to tell unless we have permission to do so. Also, we deal with so many bugs everyday that we've lost count how many times a certain type of bug has been fixed.

A few companies who do try to stop these types of attacks are gmail, facebook and pinterest. It is important to note that we didn't assist them with fixing those issues, which is one reason we're allowed to talk about it. You can stop malicious images from being attached instead of just removing the code after it is uploaded.

If you have anymore questions feel free to ask.
Thanks for sharing this- succinct and digestible for wrapping your head around open source and why it's important that companies at any size are contributing. Are there any companies out there that you're surprised aren't more active with open source?
That depends. Is the bike a fixie?

If a family of 10 is increased by 1 member each year, that is an increase of 10%.

There is no "scale" issue here.

And even if there was, the reasoning that followed can stand on its own (because the analogy was directed on the OP's analogy, and not on the reasoning provided).
Yes, we hid them away, we ostracized them, we caged them, we lobotomized them, we murdered them. I'm not downplaying that by any means.

The physiological and the psychological and the sociological interact to produce psychiatric problems in the forms and rates we see. The fact that we've diagnosed a person with a disorder means that the person is failing to control their condition as well as we desire; It's wishful just-world thinking to believe they have no control whatsoever on the one hand, but on the other hand condemning them for failing to control their condition is needlessly cruel. Some of it is in our head, because the place we exist is in our head. There is still a person living in that head, and they deserve our empathy regardless of why they're behaving the way they're behaving... no matter how much our normal interpersonal script demands culpability of them at times.

We suspend culpability not because "It's the disease doing it, not the person" - the two are not easily separable - but only because culpability has proven not to be effective at enhancing control in the past with this person.
Comments are fine but take much longer.
It's ok if it is for personal correspondence, however it is not ok and illegal if used for any government business. All the "where was the server" is irrelevant. This is generally why Presidents hand over their personal accounts and don't use them while in office. Also, the legislative members are under no such requirement.

The State Department might want to read the rules, $DIETY knows the Interior Department sure had problems with them.
Also, the bit about self-signed certificates being insecure? Arguably they are the most secure if you pin to them since you are trusting no third parties. Obviously if you keep them untrusted and ignore the validation error every time it's a different story.
Note that this is not just a matter of "don't upload your production credentials to GitHub." Don't upload your personal or test ones either, because there's a good chance that they're correlated, or that you'll make a mistake. And there's a good chance some of this information will sneak into your config files. Just don't do it.
I'm not saying we shouldn't legalize drugs; we should, for this and other reasons.

But that's not going to kill the cartels, they have other interests. I don't even think it would affect their style all that much because it wouldn't happen suddenly, it will be state by state, with the Fed finally going along after it's de facto legal everywhere.

While that gradual process plays out, as it is in fact doing right now, the cartels will just shift their focus elsewhere. Gradually. I think what's more likely is that the Mexican oil industry, and other cartel interests, will long for the days of illegal drugs.

I think it takes a strong person to be able to handle a situation like this. I would like to think I could be this strong if my fiancee suffered from the same condition, but I think I would find it too heartbreaking to be temporarily forgotten like this.

The part about his girlfriend calling her ex at his requst was a courageous act from her current boyfriend. It must be hard knowing that your girlfriend in her dissoaciate state can forget you, but remember her ex boyfriend enough to trust him. That would be so hard for many people to handle.

A really great story. It is great to see a story hit the front-page that isn't neccesarily about programming (not in the software sense).

Because I'm a computer engineer I naturally tend to look at the brain in terms of how computers work. I hope I'm not being disrespectful, but this thing sounds eerily like memory corruption. I mean like corrupted pointers that lead to a garbage addresses. If it's something like that I can well imagine why it's so difficult to deal with - after all you can't 'reinstall' a person's mind. Maybe in the future, if/when we get more precise model's of someone's thoughts, patients could be trained to not go to these corrupted places in their minds? Say, with some sort of neurological videogame that reassociates the paths towards these memories with something bad, and paths that branch off and don't lead to a corruption with something good? I'm most certainly a fish out of the water here, but I like to throw ideas around and keep sort of a childlike naivety about it, if you don't mind.

Why you use GET vs POST are conventions. There are no way to enforce any rules in web services and conventions help to make the things you are looking at recognizable. And conventions do change over time. I think we need more HTTP verbs like START and STOP and I wish POST was NEW. Merge vs. update-all for PUT is still not well established and now we have PATCH. Such terrible names. I would love something like REPLACE and MERGE or something more descriptive.

I also think that your customer order example could have been done better. Something like

Your example:
OrderDTO Customer::GetOrder(int customerID, int orderID)
But that's the wrong side of the equation, that's the definition of the function. If you call the function it would look like this:
GetOrder(myCustomerID, myOrderID)

And an equivalent REST call would look like this with a little clean up.
GET /orders/?id={id}&customer-id={customer-id}

Doesn't look that much different to me. Sure you could have done GET /orders/{id}/?customer-id={customer-id}, but there is no reason why the above is wrong from a RESTful perspective. Why would you marshall a whole JSON payload to do a simple GET? You are not creating a tuple to pass the two parameters in your full-language function example, what's the reason it is required for the RESTful call?

As I mentioned above HTTP needs a couple more verbs and aliases for the existing verbs. You think of situations like:

START /timers
STOP /trains

A lot of the time we jam POST and PUT in this situation and they are poor substitutes for a larger verb vocabulary. I have built a few automation projects and any actions you do can usually fit into

NEW
GET
UPDATE (merge)
DELETE
START
STOP
OPEN
CLOSE

still limited, but pretty good at covering almost all the verbs needed. You supply the nouns.

NEW /vms
START /vms
OPEN /remote-desktop/1234
CLOSE /files/folder/path/to/file

Especially with persistent connections in HTTP2 and web sockets and things of the kind OPEN and CLOSE will likely be need to establish these kinds of connections. You could probably get away with using START and STOP though, such as:

START /remote-desktop/?computer=1234

As for HTTP error codes. They need an overhaul. 404 and 403 do the job fine, but giving the user an idea of whether their JSON was malformed (Syntax) vs. the data in the payload was invalid is difficult to distinguish with just 400. But the return payload should describe the error in detail. Not many conventions there to help.

As for HATEOS, I used to think it was great, but I am meh on it now. It needs refinement.
This could be really useful for sending outbound webhooks, if it grew a couple of extra features:

1. "Fire and forget" ability. It would be great if I could send a request through Templar with an X-Templar-Fire-And-Forget: 1 HTTP header which means "deliver the request in your own time, but return a 200 OK to my client straight away so I don't have to wait for it.

2. It would be great if it could "validate" the URLs going through it somehow. When sending webhooks, it's important to be sure that they are going to the rest of the internet and not being used to probe internal IPs/hostnames of your own infrastructure. This is a bit of a fiddly problem, which is why it would be nice to have a proxy like Templar take it on. Take a look at the blocked_hosts section in http://search.cpan.org/~bradfitz/LWPx-ParanoidAgent-1.02/lib... for an example. I'm not sure how this would translate into X-Templar HTTP headers though.

The problem with abuse is that it is an ambiguous term.

For example suppose I were to criticize Zoe Quinn or Anita Sarkeesian. And suppose other people read my criticism, and decided to make nuisance phone calls, or even more severe forms of harassments. Was my original criticism harassment? Because that is how the GamerGate movement has been characterized. Since some people allegedly engaged in things that were clearly defined as harassment or abuse, it was considered that the entire "movement", i.e. everyone making the criticism, was engaging in harassment.

Let's turn this around, and consider whether it is "abuse" when people criticize right wingers.

The situation is especially problematic because the law also contains ambiguous crime such as harassment.

> Cars are deathtraps.

The population of the US is roughly 310 million people. Using your figure for driving fatalities, 3.1x10^8 / 2.5x10^4 = 1/12400 chance of dying in a car accident. This tracks reasonably well with the admittedly outdated information in [1], which gives the odds of dying at home as 1/7875.

By your reasoning, then, my apartment is about 33% more deathtrap-y than my car, and I should probably consider living out of doors, as well as giving up my car and staying away from roads.

Except that, from the same data, my odds of dying at the hand of another person are about one in sixteen thousand. I live in a large city, so my options are starting to look pretty limited! Subsistence farming may be the only way. (Or perhaps hunting and gathering -- this is prime whitetail country, and there are few enough hunters for deer to've become a serious pest through overbreeding.)

All life is risk, and the outcome is known ahead of time - the probability of dying of something, given long enough, eventually reaches unity. Maintaining a healthy sense of perspective seems warranted.

Been working pretty well for me, and the code's been pretty straightforward. I mean, unless you have more substantive issues with it you can raise and substantiate, this reads as just static and noise, really.
As far as I've seen it was only "OK" because it was before they changed the rules to expressly disallow this. So it was technically right, the best kind.

The reporting on this story has been pretty terrible. Wired just running with the AP story without spending the couple of minutes it takes to verify the details is shameful.

Agreed.

But, in my opinion, the point of the story isn't to prove factually one way or the other whether or not Clinton did anything at all. The point is to put yet another seed of doubt in the collective subconscious of the voting public in the run-up to the 2016 Presidential election.

Performing this simple feat simply requires a small group of the right people to parrot the same lines ad nauseam. Then it becomes "fact" in the world of punditry.
Correct. In the rush to smear mud on a potential presidential candidate, the media is overlooking why Clinton was probably using her own email address: was the State Department unable to provide her with a properly archived and secure email address? On it's face I find it hard to believe they don't have the ability to do that. But at the same time, considering the cost-cutting, outsourcing, and the political maneuverings of congress that treats the federal budget like the hapless patient in a game of Operation... I wouldn't be too surprised if they weren't.
I've never been to NYC, but every depiction I've seen of it grid lock and seas of yellow cabs, and cabs have been known to hit people too.
This seems like an expensive way to replace smartphone + google maps + earbuds. As far as I can tell from the article (which was pretty much silent on the product), it does not address any of my problems with bicycles:
1) US cities are too spread out
2) Biking up hills feels like it takes a lot more energy than just walking up them, so I generally don't bike anywhere that has hills (= I guess I'll just take a car, then). Maybe fancy $1000 bikes zoom up the hills, but I don't want to spend that much. I've already got a car...
3) My destination usually does not have showers, which is a problem when the temperature is 90 - 105 deg F for a large portion of the year.
4) The most direct roads sometimes have cars speeding by at 45 - 60 mph; not safe. In Austin, one of the popular biking routes has one biker killed every year; I don't really want to be part of that statistic.

I would love to bike, but frankly, I'm kind of lazy (especially regarding the hills). I would be interested in an affordable bike that mitigated some of these problems, though.
