Why use Gitmo as an example when there are plenty of other areas where you can bash Obama, like continuing many of the Executive Order programs? At least he genuinely tried to shut down Gitmo and was blocked from doing so.

I think believing a single person/president/whatever can fix all problems is wishful thinking, and indeed a system in which that was possible would likely not be a democracy.

Start by blaming all the representatives who pushed for or voted against ending the programs you don't like, and voting accordingly. Look at the voting histories of candidates rather than what they say. Look at who funds the candidates , not at what the candidates say. Actually, listen to everything other than what candidates say during election season; the game is set up in such a way that you will always be disappointed if you simply believe what is said, no matter the candidate.

I think that this article is somewhat misleading. In terms of replication, heritability, RNA, and protein production, there are only four bases. Adenine matches with Thymine, Cytosine matches with Guanine. As Watson and Crick so famously understated in their seminal paper, 'It has not escaped our notice that the specific pairing we have postulated immediately suggests a possible copying mechanism for the genetic material.'

When DNA is replicated, methyl-cytosine pairs with guanine just like cytosine does. The only way to maintain the 'methylation marks' is to add a methyl group back on to the newly synthesized cytosine. When DNA is converted into RNA, which is then converted into protein, whether a cytosine has a methyl group attached makes no difference to the final protein.

So whether a cytosine is methylated or not doesn't change the DNA sequence you inherit from your parents. It doesn't change the structure of the protein produced from that gene. What it can do, is change when and where that gene is expressed - which can make a huge difference to the behaviour of the cell.

For instance, a gene such as BRCA1 could be 'turned off' because too many cytosines are methylated, and this could cause a cell to become cancerous. Or a lack of methylation could cause too much c-Myc to be produced, which could result in the same outcome. But then, there many other genetic regulatory mechanisms that can do that as well - such as histone modifications, chromatin structure, transcription factors, and probably methyl-adenine too! All these mechanisms interact to ensure genes are turned on and off at the right time and place, and this field is known as 'epigenetics'.

Methyl-cytosine is a modified version of cytosine that is a very important part of epigenetics, but since it is almost irrelevant to other aspects of genetics, I would argue that you could not consider it a 'fifth base'. Having read the paper, methyl-adenine is the same - interesting new aspect of epigenetics and gene regulation, but not a new base. Also, this paper doesn't exactly 'discover' it, we found methyl-adenine in bacteria in the 60s....

If you want to read about truly new bases, scientists actually synthesised an entirely new pair of bases last year, that can replicate and encode RNA and proteins! A seriously cool step forward in synthetic life http://www.nature.com/news/first-life-with-alien-dna-1.15179
No, they don't have to. They still often do, however. And when they do explicitly include such verbiage, it's easier to get it waived or amended (as I've been able to do at nearly every position I've ever taken). Counsel is far more likely to modify an existing clause than to add a new one, IME.

I wonder if the other two bases can be methylated? Though given they are paired to bases that can be methylated...

Also, I hadn't heard of methylation being called another base. More of a modifier/marker on the base.

"Digital native" doesn't seem to violate any discrimination laws. It certainly doesn't equate to "black" or "female."

What does "digital native" mean in the context of hiring? Does it mean age discrimination? I'm guessing that there are a lot of companies that are using it as a sort of 'job marketing', and that the intention is to specifically appeal to younger candidates. If so, then, in intention at least, it would be a violation of the 1967 Age Discrimination in Employment Act.

The parent made no such distinction, and what he said is literally wrong - that it's "their business" does not imply that it's "their decision". Or at the very least, there are constraints on how they make that decision. You can't systematically discriminate against capable candidates.
Mark Tarver originally wrote Qi, which exclusively ran on top of Common Lisp. Qi was refactored as Shen, which is implemented on a small core and is thus very portable. IIRC Mark only maintains the Common Lisp implementations, and the rest were implemented by the community.
> What you are doing here is saying - I will take my model of the world and check that their observations are consistent with what it predicts are physically possible.

Conservation of momentum has been confirmed by many, many experiments; it's not just a feature of my or anyone's "model" of the world.

> there might in fact be conventional exhaust escaping from the device in a manner they had not anticipated.

Yes, that's quite possible. But as far as I can tell, the experimenters are not even considering that possibility, or checking for it.

> I am very able to imagine a world where my model is innacurate

Sure, imagining a world in which momentum is not conserved is easy. But, as I said above, experiments have shown us that we do not live in such a world.

Of course it is logically possible that momentum is conserved almost all the time, instead of absolutely all the time, and these experiments just happened to be the first ones anyone ever ran that poked reality in a place where momentum was not quite conserved. But in Bayesian terms, my prior for that being the case is much, much lower than my prior for the experimenters having made a mistake somewhere. Experimenters make mistakes all the time; but nobody has yet discovered any violation of a conservation law.
That's not true -- not even for Einstein. His work on relativity was arguably his greatest, but remember that he won the Nobel for his work on the photoelectric effect. He also did a lot of work on particle movement, i.e. Brownian motion.

Well, okay; without, say, s-domain analysis, we couldn't even properly stabilize an amplifier to be able to build a simple active filter.

I think the article says, though, that fourier analysis on the music is necessary for digital audio.
It's more of a general rule, a rule of thumb, and the difference between data and code can be very fluid, depending on the situation... But as a general rule it's worth paying attention to.

Just a quick example -- I need to get going -- Say I have a bunch of data in a database I need to do something to once or twice, like validating imported data. It's easier to use a complex select to get it in an easy to process form, then it is to use a simple select and have a complex algorithm to process the data. Generally, given the choice, it's easier to have complicated "static" data, since it's rather static and easier to reason about, rather than complicated "dynamic" code since algorithms are generally harder to reason about.
Might be worth getting a hearing test. Perhaps you have selective hearing loss in that frequency range. (I'm sure there are more likely explanations, but couldn't hurt to check.)
A lot of them are more "inductive" than "radio" and work by magnetic coupling rather than electromagnetic coupling.

Put a coil outside the metal body of the device and not too far from the skin. Then have another coil that you place on the skin, in the same region as the under-skin coil. Run a 1kHz sine wave through the external coil and you'll make SOME voltage on the internal coil. That allows you to charge.

For bonus points you can also run a communication protocol at say 100kHz (gotta get a couple of decades of frequency difference) and since you're charging the device, you can afford to "waste" a lot of power to get the signal out.

I don't do this stuff myself, but my dad did for quite a number of years.

It inherently, from its coinage, refers to a particular subset of persons born in the media saturated age (it appears later to have evolved to more firmly post-1980, but the general features around its coinage would have nailed it near that time if not specifically at that point), which means that, if nothing else, it is inherently age-discriminatory.

HyperLogLog is an algorithm that allows you to find an estimate of the distinct elements of a dataset with very little memory. Here's a simple explanation:

http://opensourceconnections.com/blog/2015/02/04/its-log-its...

HyperLogSandwich solves a similar problem. From the README:

> Unlike the HyperLogLog, which estimates the cardinality of unique items in a set, and unlike a CountMinSketch, which estimates the frequency of a specific item, the HyperLogSandwich estimates the number of unique items that have occurred for any frequency.

Real world examples include:

- How many people viewed my Tweets 4+ times this month?

- How many users watched this video 2 times this week?

- How many users visited my website 3 times during an arbitrary time range?

- How many log exceptions happened 10+ times last week?

To give you another example, within my city there are 5 high schools and their rankings are vastly different. Students can only go the high school within their district of the city. Thus the housing prices are vastly different between the districts by 2x in some cases. Note that all the schools get the same funding. It is just that the parents wanting high achievement for their students put them in the better performing high school making the imbalance even worse and and the same time causing a housing imbalance.

There was a very long article in yesterday's Seattle Times on this very topic -

http://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/data/rain-soaked-se...
Microsoft were already struggling in the mobile market before they announced the transpiling feature. They even attempted to pay developers at one stage to develop Windows mobile applications and it still did not work. While the author paints Microsoft's latest announcement of allowing Android and iOS applications to easily be transpiled to Windows 10 capable mobile applications a fast tracked death of Windows mobile, I think it is genius.

When you have very minuscule market share like Microsoft in the mobile space, you have to take some drastic measures. Without apps people will not buy your phones, without phone sales you end up losing money. If Microsoft can make it effortless for developers to port over their applications, it is a win for them (even if it only means a minor percentage gain).

The new Microsoft is the kind of Microsoft that we all wanted to see in the nineties. Embracing open source technology, moving away from this closed-source ecosystem where only Windows apps can run on Windows. I would not be surprised if we see some kind of attempt to win over Linux users by offering some kind of Unix type environment for developers and non-developers alike.

> Define discriminate. I think you are using this word to cover up word "decide".

Its not covering up -- discriminate and decide actually mean the same thing.

> It is his business. If he wants to hire only blond woman in their 20s - cool.

Age and gender discrimination are both (with some caveats) illegal in many jurisdictions, so, while you may find it "cool", it isn't necessarily legal.

> You cant change that, thats freedom of PRIVATE business.

Actually, you can change that, e.g., by adopting laws against age, race, and gender discrimination that apply to employers. Which lots of jurisdictions have.
I've always assumed this policy was in place to limit potential liability. Depts have been sued for non-lethally using deadly force. The logic goes that if a person is not dangerous enough to kill, one should not be firing a gun at them at all.

If you are firing a gun at someone, you'd better mean to kill them.

I would describe 15% as a small minority. I agree that the department is important to the school (possibly the most important single department), but I think your characterization of its influence as dominating is totally incorrect. I'm guessing that you have a lot of CS major friends, live with many CS majors, and probably study it yourself. However, there are plenty of places on campus which have almost no influence from the department. Examples which immediately come to mind are the co-op I lived in last year which had 2 CS majors out of 56 residents, the several-billion-dollar medical school, and the school of humanities (which in aggregate dwarfs the CS department in terms of enrollment). Even the rest of the School of Engineering isn't really influenced by departmental decisions. I think that most members of these communities would strongly disagree about being dominated by the department; your perspective likely stems from sampling bias in some regard.
Possibly even simpler than these recommendations is creating, publishing, and adopting nationally a National Decision Model, as was done in Britain. When publicly available and enforceable, it makes it really easy for everyone to see the standards by which police officers have to make decisions, and easier to discern good decisions from bad decisions.
You misunderstood me-- I think this is amazingly cool and has a ton of intrinsic value.

Actually, that's really not true at all. In my experience studying music, and surrounding myself with musicians, nearly every professional musician knows that understanding how music works -- and becoming proficient at performing it -- only happens through intentional practice. Nobody starts out as a world class musician, no matter how talented they are. Every new musician who picks up a saxophone, for example, has a hard time playing in tune. It takes time and dedication. To musicians, music is easy because they've earned it, not because of innate talent.

Sure, some people might have "innate" talent in regards to music, but that just means they'll progress a little more quickly. But they still need to progress. And that takes work.

Just because you cannot envision a particular use case does not mean that it is not a valuable one. Fist off a large hospital will have drugs that are "formulary", meaning drugs doctors are allowed to prescribe and the in-house pharmacy fill. These lists need to be updated, imagine you have thousands of these pumps on premises. Now imagine you also have to do inventory management. Now imagine you have these pumps wired in with your nurse calling system (for when infusion is complete or the device is empty).

Edit: usually you pick the drug from a list on the interface when programming it. I'm not familiar with this pump but I've used many like it.
