"absolves me of any decision making" certainly implies it (and meets the "legal definition of rape" the study was looking at).

It's also easy to miss that figure is "have had" a rape fantasy, meaning at least once would qualify. This survey study[1], for instance, found estimates of 31% - 57% "have fantasies in which they are forced into sex against their will". However, for only "9% to 17% of women these are a frequent or favorite fantasy experience".

In any case, I'm not sure why this is surprising. Power dynamics are a powerful part of any sexual experience, whether they be a central part of it or just fleeting. The point that rada made above is important, though, that when speaking of fantasies we are talking about people deriving pleasure from circumstances that are imagined by the very person who wouldn't be able to give consent were the situation reality.

First thing I clicked 404'd on me. Oops!
Seriously, SSL is such a mess. I dutifully switched my product's website to SSL a year or so ago, and I can't count the amount of time I've spent trying to optimise my SSL settings, and trying to figure out what optimising them even means. I'm pretty technical, but like trying to run a correctly configured mail server, this is just too hard. So I end up not worrying about my grade and probably end up using old, obsolete encryption because of it.

We're going to lose this fight unless we can make this easier. I mean, I care and I should be capable of working this out, but I'm no security expert - it's just too much work and most of the information is totally incomprehensible to me so I end up not bothering. I'm sure I'm not alone.
Reading the article, there is enough even there to give credit to the adulation. The guy's main company is SpaceX, oh and while he was figuring out how to launch rockets into space at a fraction of the cost of the norm (a massive challenge), he happened to rescue another company that he became CEO of from bankruptcy.

The big losers in Musk's life are clearly his wife and kids, but I don't see how you can suggest he didn't do (and continues to do) some very very special things for humanity as a whole. If the electric car succeeds and we move from fossil fuels in a big way, he will be a major reason for this. If we commercialize space and become a space-faring species, the same position holds.

I'm not sure how admiring that is hero worship.
When my wife died, death lost all of its teeth for me. It's not worth the price, but losing someone you love pretty much solves the fear thing. The valley of the shadow is a scary rollercoaster on the way in. But on the way out, it's just barren and lonely. Not scary at all.

More practically, there are some tricks that can make this fear go away. I've seen experienced psychotherapists help people with this quickly. If you can afford a couple of sessions and don't mind the stigma, you might get some quick, long lasting relief.

OK, so let's try to be clear about this.

In my experience, that code, pretty much exactly as presented on that page, has, in the past, been called the Sieve of Eratosthenes. You and I both know that it isn't, but I, for certain, know that there have been occasions when it has been claimed to be.

Currently, the version as presented on the Haskell page does not claim that it is the Sieve of Eratosthenes. However, given its history, some people, and in my opinion quite reasonably, will believe that it is, or is intended to be, the Sieve of Eratosthenes.

In my opinion, the people who look after the Haskell page should know that, and should have something there to preempt that mistaken belief. To do so would help to increase people's knowledge. If done well, I doubt that it would hurt, and it might actually help to increase people's curiosity about Haskell.

Edit: Just wanted to add that I've up-voted your comments, because they're true, and they've made me re-evaluate a few things. Thanks.

That's a hagiography right there.
Are you afraid of the process of dying or afraid of being dead? Those are two slightly different things. I hope you can take comfort in the idea that after you are dead, you're really not going to be worrying about anything at all. You won't care about anything. You will feel the same as you did before you were born.

Being afraid of the process of dying I think is a very natural feeling. Saying goodbye permanently to everyone you know is heartbreaking and we don't really know the amount of pain we will feel when we eventually move through that process.

But again, once it's over, you'll no longer care.

Some things you can do to fight your fear of death...

- Understand that no one escapes

- It is mostly luck to be remembered by a large number of people. You are one in a billion so stop trying to think you need to be Steve Jobs (if you do think that, that is). You will likely, like the rest of us, be remembered by only those close to you.

- In line with that, stop pursuing things you don't enjoy for recognition. It's a bad gamble. If you succeed you'll have recognition (and the odds are very against that). If you fail, you'll have spent time doing something you didn't like anyway. If you do things you enjoy, even if you don't get recognition, you are guaranteed to have enjoyed the time spent exploring them.

- Add to the momentum of human progress, however small your contribution. You are part of all of us moving forward, smashing atoms to advance our knowledge of the universe.

- Savor everything. From the day you were born, your wallet has been open and your money is spilling out. Might as well direct it toward things you enjoy. At the end of your life, whether or not you enjoyed it is entirely up to you and you alone to judge. It is out of everyone else's hands. Keeping that thought of your eventual death close will help you to savor.

- Take in the idea that you are lucky to even be alive. The odds of you being you out of all the sperm in the world are unbelievably against you existing at all. You have the gift of life like you won the lottery and you get to do with it, whatever you want, as do others.

- There is a liberation is believing in no afterlife. No one is watching over your shoulder, judging what you do. Your life is your own and then it's over.

Savor.

Feynman Lecture – Los Alamos from Below
One thing which is missing from his rule is the cost of losing multiple things at once.

For example, if I were to lose my coffee maker I could replace it easily. If I were to lose my computer, replacing it would be financially painful, but possible.

If I were to lose my furniture, clothes, computers, television, cooking utensils, appliances and my coffee maker at once -- in a fire, for example -- dealing with all of that at once would be an issue. So I have home contents insurance with a fairly high excess, but I wouldn't expect to claim on it for any one item.
Umm, 'danger' is not binary. There is no hard and fast rule that makes something 'dangerous'. There are levels of danger, and levels of risk. How can a browser know where that line is for every user and every site?

I'm not sure if it's uniquely American. I think the secondary school social system is based in the individualistic culture of American society at large, and may appear in other countries with a similar individual emphasis.

In many cases, American children (at least in my region of the country, growing up in the late 1990's & 2000's) are told that they are exceptional at a young age by their parents/mentor figures. This article sums up the environment nicely.

I think a desire to fulfill this expectation of individualized achievement can lead adolescents to pursue peer approval as an activity unto itself, the so called "trying to be cool," you may have observed.
I am curious why a lot of websites use the mobile style "pull out" menu on desktop versions of their sites. Is this for a consistent UX? Something else? Laziness?

The only thing that bugs me about this strategy -- whenever you look at a rocket launch, there is a lot of infrastructure and people running about doing stuff prior to the launch. So how is this going to happen on Mars? The only way the Moon return missions were possible was because of the low gravity and no atmosphere on the moon. I just can't see a rocket launch from Mars happening with on-site manufactured fuel and automated facilities.

>This is Hongdae. Yes, looks like Japan, don’t say that to a Korean, they will kill you.

I was scrolling down a bit too quickly and actually thought that was a street in Japan until I saw the hangul. I laughed when I read the comment about the image.

Korean and Japanese internet is amazing compared to the US. Being smaller countries, the infrastructure for upgrades is a lot easier to roll out. Imagine rolling out to California or even just New York and then consider for it to work optimally it needs to be rolled out across the entire backbone of the network across the nation - and jump through a bunch of regulatory hoops to get it there.

I'm not sure about Korea, but Japanese internet is largely self-regulated while the US has the FCC and, I believe, other bodies that can sometimes get in the way...

Here's a list of crops pollinated by bees:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_crop_plants_pollinated_...

I don't see wheat, corn, or rice on there.

Here's a list of crops that don't need pollination:
http://www.hortmag.com/plants/fruits-veggies/vegetable-crops...

What veggies do not need pollinators to produce:
• All leafy greens
• Brassicas: broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage and kohlrabi
• Below ground root veggies and tubers such as carrots, parsnips, salsify, potatoes, sweet potatoes, horseradish
• Ground level root veggies such as beets, turnips, rutabagas
• Most legumes including peas and beans
• Corn—like other wind pollinated veggies
• Herbs, like the lemon balm pictured
• Celery
• Onions and leeks

That's a pretty good list of foods for humans to survive on.
They have a 22.6% GAAP gross margin excluding ZEV credits, BUT unlike every other car manufacturer Tesla doesn't account for R&D and engineering expenses as a fraction of COGS (that's why Elon can claim they are up there with Porsche and Audi, but that's a blatant lie).
Just examine their 10-K. Sometimes Tesla can be so opaque and impervious to questioning.

The training of the models is expensive, but after you have the parameters, saving and using the model becomes cheaper (which meets your needs).
Try providing branch and bound solvers as a service? Spin up some massive EC2 instances, run something like the CoinCBC solver (or license Gurobi by the EC2 hour), and let people run optimization problems on shared hosts. Charge per minute and assume that you get ~60% utilization on the instances with a queue. Maybe allow problem formulation using the JuliaOpt / JumP metalanguage.

The hard thing about optimization problems is that they take on the order of minutes to run, but you're billed by the hour.

Sounds crazy, but lots of startups - ranging from OnFleet to Lyft Line to Postmates - are probably computationally bound on problems like the Traveling Salesman Problem / bin packing problem / knapsack problem. It's not worth $1400/instance/month to spin up the biggest computation nodes because they would get low utilization, but they still want their problem to solve quickly. If you bill by the minute - then they save money and time.

Implementation would be straightforward - set up a queuing model, a timeout on each problem, and do a callback when the problem finishes. I think it's an untapped market because there has been lots of software developed for ML, but little for decision making built on top of the regression models that ML outputs.
> Another option you could look at, if you really want to go with a desktop computer, is a braille terminal (https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Refreshable_braille_display). I've seen some blind colleagues at work use them, but I don't know how the usability compares to a screen reader.

My understanding, based on conversations with and writings by blind users of Debian, is that a braille terminal is helpful for the bandwidth and context it provides, and useful as a supplement to interact with many programs (especially as an engineer spending lots of time in terminals and editors), but not satisfactory as a complete substitute for a screenreader and accessible applications, even if you spent 100% of your time in a terminal.

I take issue with the author trying to judge this chef based on the meal he made for his in-laws. That seems to be the same as judging a candidate's merit based upon their side projects.

Mars is substantially easier to launch from since there is less atmosphere and gravity. Still, it is going to need far more autonomous rockets that can launch with less infrastructure.
