Which one? PKU? Qinghua? Shanghai Jiaotong? It is not such an easy choice anymore, and the universities in Beijing have poor facilities compared to Shanghai, making it difficult for them to attract shanghainese to come here to Beijing to study.

Even chinese students these days want heated and air conditioned dormitories, a shower in their dorm (at least on their floor! Definitely not in a separate building), and clean water to wash with. Or screw it, the ones that can will just go to some 2nd or 1st tier school in the U.S. or UK anyways so they aren't wasting their time.

Belittling or trivializing is exactly what the word "just" makes the comment look like. If you can't see it, maybe try it with phrases like "it's just another case of harassment" vs. "it's another case of harassment".

It's not made any better by describing it as "gamers taking the competition offline". Two problems; first, it's making it appear as some kind of a natural extension of playing a game / watching a game stream. Hey, it's just some competition, boys will be boys! Second, it's too symmetrical, basically spreading the blame between both the perp and the victim. Again if you can't see this, what would you say about describing this case as "some Twitter users taking their gender politics discussions offline"?

I really need to read Pat Cadigan's book "Tea From An Empty Cup"[1] again sometime soon, which was probably foreshadowing for SWATing-style attacks.

The story is centered around an online gamer who is killed in real life because of stuff that happens in-game. It explores the often-assumed belief that it doesn't matter what you do because "it's just a game" or "I was only trolling", and how for some people the line between fantasy and reality is not as obvious as it should be.

Unfortunately salaries in the bay area seem to be inversely proportional to age ;) That's only half kidding. Many companies are willing to pay premiums for what I'd call "future potential" of new hires. With 30 and supposedly 5-10 years of work experience you'd be expected to already have "proven" your potential. Your degree will matter a lot less than what you've actually done in the past. If you don't have much to show for your experience it may well be that you'd actually be offered less than a promising candidate right out of college. However, $100k seems about average. There are people who are offered 150k (+ 100-300k stock grants) out of college at some of the "hottest" startups.
America has systematically stripped judges of their authority to make judgements. This was done partly to ramp up sentencing due to fear of crime, and partly to make justice more even-handed. The latter is not an unreasonable goal; skin colour is well known for biasing all sorts of people, and other things can do too: http://www.economist.com/node/18557594

Unfortunately this power of arbitrary judgement has not gone away. Instead it has been handed to prosecutors. In the past, if the judge thought a prosecutor was unfairly throwing the book at a felon then he or she could hand down a sentence in line with the facts rather than the charge sheet. Now this is not possible. Its up to the prosecutors to decide how long the charge sheet is, and its the charge sheet that determines the sentence.

There's some context that you're omitting in your analysis. cperciva says:

"It's worth noting that this is just the latest in a long series of episodes of harassment which Randi has experienced -- it's not just another case of gamers taking their competition offline, which is the most common swatting backstory I hear about these days."

(Emphasis mine.)

Asshole gamers calling in real-life SWAT because they can't handle feelings of inferiority is the most common reason for SWATting that I hear of.

I hold the opinion that giving police fraudulent information in order to summon SWAT on someone's house is HIGHLY inappropriate and -often- very dangerous[0]. While cperciva doesn't explicitly express his opinions on SWATting, the remaining 'graphs in his comment would lead one to believe that he also thinks that SWATting is serious business, regardless of motive.

That is exactly what make supports out of the box. If ${CC} is missing from the Makefile, ${CC} is globally set to the system C compiler i.e. cc

Users can use a different compiler by specifying it on the command line via e.g.

make CC=clang

Some people set

CC=gcc

in their Makefile to force the usage of gcc. Never do this. Do this instead:

CC?=gcc

That way users can still override the value of ${CC} on the command line if they want to.

There is no need to feel guilty.

In general, many people need to detox from a childhood that lacked sufficient freedom to explore and become a full human being. Their internal programming then takes college and its new freedom as an opportunity to rectify that. It is quite a reasonable approach given our K-12 schooling setup and its intense control of children's time during the day.

Some might even argue more run-down buildings allow for better science. When you believe your building is cramped and in bad shape, changing its form slightly to get an experiment working is more acceptable. Cutting holes in walls, exposing beams to add supports for chemical reactors, and general experimentation. At least that's the idea behind the fetishization of Building 20 at MIT[1-3].

25 Tips to Create a PRESS Release for Your Android App
Recommend daily amount is tricky because it may not reflect our most current understanding, but it is a good starting point. For example the RDA of vitamin D is 600IU/day, but there has been evidence that up to 10x this dose continues to provide benefit. While once you have your RDA of other vitamins, any more will just be flushed out of you so it's irrelevant.

Predictable customers with real, financially motivated needs? The downsides are that you'll probably need to invest more into your first product to do proper learning and face longer sales cycles.

B2B has got to be way easier to predict and value as a company. You can also get a big leg up if a founder comes from the industry and is therefore pre-baked with a lot of customer knowledge and a good rolodex.
It's really easy to have your information posted publicly without even knowing it. There's a whole industry in the US that buys up public records, cross-references them and sells them as 'background checks'. Buy a house? Your name and address is now a public record. Sign up for Cable TV/Internet with free phone service thrown in? Hope you checked to pay the extra 'unlisted number' fee because otherwise your name address and phone number are now in the phone book. Ever have to settle something in court? Your name and address, along with whatever you went to court over are now publicly available.

In the past you'd actually have to go to some county government office to view the records, but these companies will collect them in bulk and sell the information on the internet. Most of them will let you claim it and take down the information for free, but then go on to offer sell you services where they go and send take down notifications to a bunch of other sites. It's a huge racket.

I think you are right, there aren't any good reasons to do a SWATing and there isn't anyone who deserves to be the target of one. But I guess almost everybody, including cperciva, believes this.

I guess if you said 'Please be careful not to' instead of "Please don't belittle" you would get less argument. Instead of assuming a particular intention, point out how you read the phrase and ask if that was intended.

This wouldn't be a problem if people actually went to trial. This whole concept of plea bargaining is immoral - we can't say you have a right to trial by jury, but if you exercise that right you run the risk of having the charges be 10x the plea bargain. If the plea bargain is enough to provide justice, then that's what the defendant should face in court.
That's a list, not a stat. If you come up with some actual stats to back up the assertion/impression you have, that'll make it more interesting and harder for people to dismiss it as just your (mis)impression.
In addition to grand juries being, as the article says, mostly a "minor procedural hassle" to prosecutors they're also a significant imposition on citizens serving on them. I suspect that most people who really don't want to serve can get out of serving. (When I got called for duty, at least most of the slots were filled by people who either essentially volunteered or at least said they weren't opposed to serving.)

However, depending on the individual state, juries are impaneled for some number of months and may meet for most days. Compensation is minimal; in Massachusetts, it's $50 per day. And federal grand juries are impaneled for 18 months I believe.

It's fun to read your much more sophisticated analysis. As to the excellent question of what utility my study has, the truth is that I didn't expect any. I didn't look at the data thinking I had a problem to solve, or that there were people abusing our sick time policy. I was just curious.

We averaged about 2.5 sick days / employee / year over the last 12 months. That's quite a bit lower than some reports I've read. It also happens to be exactly the number I picked 10 years ago when I was first making an economic model of my company.

I'm saying that it's wrong to think that armed police officers do better than armed US officers. We mostly don't have armed officers over here. Where they are armed mistakes happen and people die, so it's important to keep UK officers unarmed.

Also: yes, even those few deaths are totally unacceptable in the UK. People are shocked by police shootings; investigations are rigorous. Contrast that to the US where shootin a dog sparks mass outrage but shooting a drunk pregnant woman doesn't.
Then why would anyone agree to a plea bargain?

(Which isn't to say that stacking up a lot of questionable charges to force a plea bargain is reasonable or fair. However, I don't see anything wrong with the basic idea of plea bargains.)
I think this article glosses over the purpose of the grand jury - the grand jury doesn't vote to convict, they vote on whether or not to indict. The entire purpose is to prevent people from being harassed by prosecutors. They review all of the evidence that the prosecutor has gathered and determine if it's sufficient to send people to trial. If the prosecutor has compelling evidence, then they go to trial and both sides present their case. If not, the defendant never goes to trial to begin with.
It might help to consider TV as the Internet before the real Internet made its way into people's homes. You got a newspaper once a day, but cable TV news was up-to-the-minute, and local TV news filled you in on local events from the day. You couldn't forward cute cat videos to your co-workers with one click, so you'd bond at the coffee machine every morning talking about last night's basketball game, or who shot JR, or that clumsy guy that fell off the roof on America's Funniest Home Videos.

In 1970, 1% of the U.S. population (20 million citizens) was illiterate. Do you know 100 people; friends, family, neighbors? One of them might not have been able to read. As an audio-visual medium, TV is an equalizer. America loves to think of itself as a classless society. With apologies to Andy Warhol: "You can be watching TV and see Alf, and you know that the President watches Alf, Liz Taylor watches Alf, and just think, you can watch Alf, too."

So much of cable TV's influence reflected its ability to educate, inform, AND entertain. Communities were given public access studios without the need for powerful, expensive transmitters. They could have a whole channel with computer-generated text over soothing elevator music showing the latest happenings at the public library. CSPAN put the legislative process in your living room. TLC was originally The Learning Channel and it had actual educational shows, but so did all the local community colleges on their own low-budget cable stations. On the morning of the Challenger disaster, I watched the shuttle crew drive to the launch pad on NASATV while I ate breakfast. Is this what everybody watched, all the time? No. But when it came time to vote on "Community Antenna TV" and eventually cable, this is what was trotted out and you can't deny the power of bringing that into people's homes.

TV was a huge deal until we replaced it with the Internet, and in many ways we're using it in the same ways. It's shared culture. It's audio-visual entertainment. It's news & information.
Very interesting. It's intriguing how the ideals seem to remain in the procedure, whilst the enactment of the 'justice' differs wildly from that envisaged.

To me, 90% felony plea-bargains would imply that the grand juries are doing an awful job; it suggests that they're bringing many charges that they don't think they can win.

This is presumably one of those tragedy-of-the-commons type situations; if everyone decided to only charge fairly, there'd be less incentives for plea bargains, immediately all of the courts would be clogged, there'd be congressional attention, probably more funding, perhaps procedural shortcuts and it would eventually end up more fair for everyone.

In the meantime, any one prosecutor who decides to do this simply ends up massively dropping their conviction rate and presumably losing their job. So they won't do it (and I don't blame them!).

My guess is that what this needs is a large campaign from activists to pressure congress into making the changes on their own. That'll be really difficult.

The demo page doesn't look cachable: a "Cache-Control: no-cache" header, no ETag or Last-Modified headers. It's obvious that they don't want stale pages in a cache, but why not take advantage of a simple Last-Modified to remove most traffic from people refreshing every few seconds?
