My previous company hired and trained college interns and new grads, but they made the mistake assuming some sort of loyalty and didn't bother to give them a significant raise after the first full year. It's crazy, but a developer with 1-2 years experience is worth 20-30% more than one fresh out of college.
It looks like people are studying it quite a bit, but the nutrition and diet literature is less open-access than the math and CS literature. I searched on Google Scholar for "vegan attitudes GMO" and found several articles, often in the journal Appetite, that seemed relevant but were behind a paywall. The first result is "Attitudes towards genetically modified and organic foods", by Saher, Lindeman, and Hursti.

I also did a Google web search for the same terms and found, among other things, several articles by pro-GMO vegans complaining that it was common for other vegans to be anti-GMO (based on their personal experience, not studies). The former felt that widespread vegan opposition to GMOs was unfortunate because it would make it less appealing for people to go vegan (for example because the range of available foods would appear more restricted), or because it could make vegans appear indifferent or hostile to scientific progress, among other concerns.

Why will they always need the barge for the Falcon Heavy core? I think they would be more likely to need it for a second stage than the Heavy's core, because SSECO occurs very far down range, and at such a high speed that the rocket cannot make it back to the launch pad without a great deal of fuel.

Alternatively, they could be planning to launch from Texas, and recover some stage(s) in Florida.

*edit: in another comment on this discussion, kllrohg mentioned that SpaceX's stated intent has been to land all stages back at the launch site.

I agree, as others have said the dynamics of a barge is a necessary challenge to prove the technology. But they need some more positive press, maybe a gif that doesn't end in an explosion hehe.

Giving people more of what they want is not automatically the correct move. It may sometimes be the correct move. You can cause a lot of harm by giving people what they want when they shouldn't have it. Look up info on how most people handle lottery winnings if you doubt this.

There are many less optimistic ways to interpret this change, and there may be some fallout down the road. I wouldn't jump straight to "a good move in general and a good move as a human being".

It's very difficult to get anything accepted now.

A friend of mine is a published author. Not massively famous or anything, but he's got a series of four books out, published by an actual publishing house and available to buy across the UK in Waterstones and other physical stores (i.e. not self-published or internet-only).

His page was nominated for deletion a few years ago, and despite protest was deleted. About a year ago I thought I might have another go so another friend and I tried (as a first step) adding a page for the publisher. They've published quite a few books now, and some have been nominated for some quite prestigious literary awards. Not unreasonable one would think.

Within minutes we had someone come along and nominate the page for summary deletion. This person didn't know anything about UK literature, or even what the Booker Prize was, but was very eager to get rid of the page regardless. I looked into what their motivation might be and it seems they were part of a team that effectively exists to get rid of new pages as fast as possible, for any reason they can come up with. They get notified when a new page is made and try to kill it, basically.

Unless you are familiar with all the arcana of wikipedia (my friend was this time) then you have almost no hope of getting past this and getting anything new in.

--edit--

The 'team' I'm referring to is wikipedia's "New Page Patrol". I appreciate it exists to stop spam, hate pages etc from lasting too long, but in my experience the people doing this are over-zealous and far too keen on nominating things for "Speedy Deletion" based on their opinions about notability.

Clapping synchronisation is actually a well studied spontaneous occurrence, that just takes O(1) periods, see this article for some analysis:
http://arxiv.org/pdf/cond-mat/0006423v1.pdf
Sometimes we don't reveal our true motives to The New York Times.
Well... it's like all audio chipsets work nowadays. Only some DSPs will be able to efficiently handle single-frame data processing, but they have the help of dedicated address generators and lightweight interrupts synchronized to the digital interface.

If you write "process however much audio data is ready", then you already imply that your CPU will not be up to speed to process 48000 interrupts/second reliably and you need some buffering.

And if you have to assume that sometimes you'll miss 100 samples (which, then, you'll process en-block), this means that to work reliably, you'll have to start at least 100 samples early so that you don't miss the deadline of the DAC, because the DAC will, with intractably output one sample every 48000th of a second. This already implies some kind of periodic processing of blocks, doesn't it?

(and yes, such a scheme will theoretically allow you to half the latency from something to 2period-size to 1period-size + the time for processing)

Third, a lot of the algorithms for processing audio can be implemented much more efficiently if you have a known block size and don't have to calculate your filters or convolutions with constantly changing number of samples for every step.

Also efficiency of processing will decrease (reloading the cache after each interrupt when switching from processing plugin to processing plugin), so the time spent on calculating per frame will go up if your period size gets smaller. At one point you'll need exactly one "period size" to calculate one period size worth of samples: That's the maximum your machine can handle, and at that point you'll have a latency of your "period size"*2, which is exactly the same as running with a fixed period-size ;-). And as you can choose the period-size rather freely (maybe completely arbitrary, maybe 2^n, depends on the chipset/hardware) there's no disadvantage left.
I doubt there are cost savings in siting it on the lunar surface. Yes you save on station-keeping, but it's very costly and dangerous to descend into a gravity well like that. Weight is definitely still important to make sure it doesn't hit too hard.

>They didn’t give it much thought. Periodic strep tests on Isak had always come back negative. And his symptoms seemed too dramatic to be the result of a simple, common childhood infection.

I don't think there's any institutional stranglehold stopping research in this direction, just standard human reasoning. As a scientist, there are enticing hypotheses to follow that pop up every single day, and it's hard to judge what should get the investment of time and money.

>Their first priority is pushing pills, not our well-being.

These were doctors prescribing these, not the pharmaceutical industry, and I believe that the doctors were trying, something, anything, that they believed might work. What's more risky, using a drug that's been proven to help adults (barely better than placebo or not), or going after an as-yet-untested hypothesis about streptococci, that doesn't fit our current understanding of the problems? There are certainly issues where pharmaceutical interests are not aligned with our health and well being, but I don't really see this child's unfortunate trajectory as part of that. The failure rests more on the science just not being there, and us not having a great understanding of the mind.

Depends on what I am working on.

In my first position, where I was the EE, the software development was done with a combination of an emulator, a VAX build system[1], and live hardware via JTAG.

In my second position I was doing signal processing algorithm R&D, so there was no production system at all.

In my third position I was implementing stuff from the second position and other sources. Our software was (supposedly) platform-agnostic, so we did our development in RHEL and ran on various platforms with various flavors of Linux. There we had examples of real hardware, but had not constructed a full-example production system when I left. All the Linux installs on target hardware were heavily stripped down and configured for real-time operation, though, so we couldn't actually do development on them.

Now I'm doing a combination of R&D, packaged software, and bespoke software for NLP where our customers can run (theoretically) on whatever systems they want. I develop in Ubuntu LTS and test occasionally in a Windows 7 VM. Our customers so far run our software on various flavors of Windows, RHEL, or Ubuntu VMs that we package for them. We don't really have a defined "production system".

The whole point of pipelining is to avoid expensive TCP operations. Domain-sharding is effectively a workaround for the workaround (limiting connections to hosts).

You can actually do both domain-sharding and still use only a single TCP connection. SPDY/HTTP2 will reuse existing connections if they receive the same cert/ip combo. It's the best of both worlds while http1 still has some marketshare.
> They need to be able to stabilize the rocket's landing in all sorts of conditions if they want to have any hope of landing it on another planet.

Well, not really. Dragons (and Red Dragons, for interplanetary travel) are way, way less sensitive to the whims of weather. The issue with the first stage is that you have a very large, very fragile, very bottom-heavy tin can that you're trying to balance on a moving platform.

This is entirely different than trying to land a pod, which is what we'll be doing on other planets. Dragon v2 will be landing on land (though doing parachute recovery from water for initial CCS missions, as per NASA spec), and we'll see how stable it is then.
