> But CarbonScape's coke is made from wood that has absorbed carbon as a tree, so no new carbon is released, and that's better for the environment.

This doesn't make sense. It's like saying: oil is made from organic matter that had absorbed carbon as organisms, so it's good for the environment.

That might be persuasive if it were the only relevant information we had. But most US states maintained a complete ban on gambling for most of their existence, and those bans worked pretty well.
Evan Spiegel USC commencement speech
I was referring to TV news and local news, but you make a good point.
There's an element that many people who are frequent gamers don't usually see and it's that watching a video of a game being played covers the gist of the game in a less involved manner. Basically, you aren't setting yourself up to be enthralled by the game and dedicated to it for hours, but instead appreciate what the game covers, it's visual aesthetic, it's gameplay, all without devoting a large chunk portion of time to it. There's also the benefit of skipping around a video during boring/slow (and setup) parts of a game that you simply can't do when you're playing it.

the intercept has reported[0] that all of the major points reported by hersh were first reported in 2011 by rj hillhouse, and the two stories seem to have different sources. hillhouse seems upset about not being given credit and accuses hersh of 'plagiarism', though that doesn't have any bearing on the truth of the matter. the fact that hersh reported details which hillhouse has stated she was aware of but explicitly chose not to disclose (that the seals dumped parts of bin laden's body out over the hindu kush on the chopper ride home) seems to prove that he was doing original reporting to me. the real tragedy is that we've already cemented the national mythology of torture producing the intelligence necessary to locate bin laden, thanks to zero dark thirty and the cia lying to cover its ass.

Broadly, I would define "status quo" as an environment where poor people are dependent on wealthy people. In this respect I think the "VC" paradigm is certainly worthy of the "status quo" label.

> boiled each pattern in the trie down to its most unique dword or qword, and only attempted a full match after an initial hit

Oh that's interesting - like a very fast cmp before bothering to check the rest of the branches.

When you say pattern are you talking about specific letters/morphemes or subsequence? And were you pulling the [dq]words from the initial pattern or generating them some otherway (through some kind of hash or encoding function?).

Heh, back when google was just a white page with a search bar I noticed that the front page would come up, but he results didn't. Turns out I was on a home network connection with PPPoE which slightly decreases the maximum MTU.

I opened a ticket with google and a SRE called me back (to my surprise) and we tracked it down. Google had a new firewall that was blocking MTU negotiation.

Come to think of it, I'm always surprised by how many people still get their news that way.
My point was that many things are normally distributed (likely due to the CLT) and the square error is the right choice in those cases. This is an empirical thing as well, in that measurement noise is often Gaussian.

In my opinion, there are plenty of useful things to do as a programmer. There are many non-profit organizations doing important work that would love to have a volunteer programmer. You could also teach math or programming to high school kids, etc. Paid programming work can sometimes seem far removed from "useful" work, but I think that's partly because of the complexity of society and all the abstractions that we have built. If you'd like to do something that feels more direct, I would suggest volunteering somewhere. But I do agree with your sentiment that finding meaning on your own can be quite difficult.
One example close to me (I guess everyone has their own) is how the Spanish Wikipedia systematically misspells the name of dozens of Spanish cities and towns, changing the official toponyms for largely invented ones that "sound more Spanish".

This has been the source of endless debates that haven't done anything to change the position of the senior contributors in control. So we have an absurd situation where a non-trivial amount of Spanish toponyms are more accurate in the English Wikipedia than in the Spanish one.

In the global context, this is probably a small issue. And yet I wonder how many people are put off contributing when they perceive that a small in-group is able to push their opinion like this.
Great work, I'm addicted. Definitely would pay for an android version of this
Laplace and Gauss were in mad competition to find a general rule for the pattern of errors for measurements in astronomy. It's around 1800, and the medium of exchange is letters.

Laplace has recently shown that the integral of minus t squared, where t goes from minus to plus infinity has a definite answer.

Gauss starts a paper, basically says, let's just run with the arithmetic average, the usual mean, as the go-to best estimate, from a big series of measurements of a single thing, each of which has errors, because, yeah, why not.

Moments later the guy shows that squaring the errors makes it equivalent to that thing Laplace did, and we now have a general rule. His argument follows by supposing each repeated error due to a specific cause has an expected error of zero, with no particular rule of distribution, but that as the number of specific causes goes to infinity, the Law of large numbers applies (go Euler, fair play). Hence, wiggley wiggley, Laplace's thing.

Beautiful piece of work, and resting on Laplace and Euler too, two other heroic oddballs.

The best thing is the underlying explanation: Take a nearly-infinite number of different measurements of a thing, each measurement with its own pattern of rubbishness, and the average of those measurement will approach having this distribution. That bit is what makes it so broadly applicable.

Real investigative journalism is expensive. To check your facts and avoid being led astray by cranks or disinformationists (professional cranks) requires something akin to a private intelligence agency.

As long as nobody pays for news, there is zero incentive for anyone to invest that kind of money.

You get what you pay for. Pay nothing for news and get nothing but reprints of press releases.

You mean Star Wars style? In which case the answer is no, not really. Multiscopic displays have never been properly represented in SF movies, as far as I'm aware. A perfect automultiscopic display would be very much like a window, with the video being able to show any kind of dynamic perspective on the other side of the window. Actually it's more than a window, since elements can give the impression of being in front of the window, but such elements would clip at the edge of the window if the viewer leaned too far out. So the 3D could only be "in-air" as long as the screen is behind it.
I don't think that's different meanings of after, but different typical inferences that a listener might make.
Well, media has three sources of income:

1. Consumer subscriptions

2. Advertising

3. Mouthpiece money

With the first dying and the second moving to non-news on the internet, the third is where it has to go. Sponsored articles, that's probably the more ethical part of the industry.

PR pays - news doesn't.
That's why I built Storm Sim. It's in the App Store.

It dynamically generates the audio based on the samples you select and in advanced mode you can adjust the variance, frequency, looping, etc.

I made two huge mistakes based on bad assumptions (it was my first iOS app)

1: that you wouldn't want to edit the storm while it was playing. I have the code working now to do live updates and should be releasing it soon.

2: that people would care more about the audio than a fancy UI since you spend the vast majority of the time listening (not looking). Boy was I wrong! I still haven't gotten a good designer to help me tidy it up.

If you like it don't buy IAP in the free version - you can get the same stuff for $4 cheaper in the paid version.

>First of all, denigrating a legendary reporter who has broken more major stories than almost anyone alive as a “conspiracy theorist” because his story contained a few details a little too implausible for some people’s taste is beyond insulting.

Besides this being a blatant appeal to authority can you blame people for thinking he is drifting into conspiracy theorist territory when he has claimed that US Special Forces have been infiltrated by Opus Dei and the Knights of Malta?
You really don't get a good idea about any of those professions through the media. Watching C-SPAN or even the West Wing only gives you a minute glimpse. Same with actors (most of the actors time on set is spent waiting or doing nothing). 90% of a director's job is done before the 1st day the camera's start rolling (and the majority of a director's career is spent emailing or meeting about prospective jobs, not actually on set directing actors).
Slight addition/correction from Hillhouse: "I did not accuse Hersh of plagiarism."

Hi,

I didn't really expect an answer, so thank you for giving one anyway. From what you write, I get the impression that could be described as a "slippery slope" kind of situation, which I can understand. I don't know how I'd behave myself given those circumstances, although I'd of course like to think I'd resist somehow - but perhaps I'm fooling myself. And you are right that there are a lot of industries of questionable/negative moral worth out there (I listed a few of my picking in my previous comment, but you could add certain parts of banking/finance industry, tobacco industry and many others..)

I guess what amazes me is the number of people willing to sacrifice their limited time on this planet to actively work on stuff that is (if one is being honest with oneself) providing net negative value to society as a whole, making this world a shittier place for everyone. (Saying this as a relatively non-religious person).
Gary Webb was the first thing that came to my mind as well. I don't have a cite for it but my recollection is that the government worked closely with rival papers to discredit both the story and Webb personally.

Right. This is something that looks like the final product, but isn't ready for manufacture.

* If you run a 9V battery into a linear regulator to get 5V, there goes 55% of your energy and battery life. Consider 4 AAA cells. Work on reducing standby power consumption. When idle, put the CPU to sleep until IR is sensed. (An ATmega can do this.) Things which burn battery power when idle fail as consumer products.

* "I could (and probably should) use an ATtiny for such an application but I only had some ATMega328 in my parts bin."

* Prototype plastic things with 3D printing. Manufacture them by injection moulding. The little injection moulder at a TechShop could bang out about one box a minute. Any commercial shop can turn out thousands in a day. Making the mould is either work or expense, but you come out way ahead after a few hundred parts.

Here's a calm discussion: http://suegardner.org/2011/02/19/nine-reasons-why-women-dont...

> “One hostile-to-women thing about Wikipedia I have noticed is that if a movie has a rape scene in it, the wiki article will often say it was a sex scene. When people try to change it, editors change it back and note that unlike “sex”, the word “rape” is not neutral, so it should be left out according to NPOV. Example (this one actually ended up changing “sex” to “make love”, which, oh wow.), example. There are probably more but it’s pretty depressing to seek them out. (It’s not true in cases where the movie is explicitly about rape, like the rape revenge genre that’s got its own page, but please don’t tell me that should assuage my concerns.) There are a few other things I’ve found frustrating about Wikipedia, but discovering that feature was really jarring and made me feel unwelcome there.” [19]

Misogynistic or clueless?

Of course this is the obvious answer, but, the op already knows that. They are asking because, they have some conundrum that they can't put heir finger on. We need more information.

Why losing a co-founder is a problem? Only they have the technical ability? Only they have the insight to the sector? The fund depends on their name? The fund depends on the partnership? co-founder is irreplaceable in some way? Op has time limits? Op lacks the technical/social abilities to replace partner?

>Casino has a particularly bad reputation. Is working for J.P. Morgan any better? What about Starbucks, which has basically built their empire on a caffeine addiction?

Well, casinos make their money by financially immiserating their customers, while J.P. Morgan is almost directly the opposite - they want to make all their clients wealthier. And (some extreme individual cases perhaps excepted), nobody ever ruined their life because of "caffeine addiction" (a somewhat dubious concept).

That said, I do subscribe to the "live and let live" position on the matter, and I don't think people should be criticized for working for a gambling business (or tobacco, alcohol, freemium mobile games, or other businesses in the same realm).
A few parts of the story seem to be reasonable. There was widespread speculation that the ISI knew Bin Laden's location, even right after Bin Laden was killed. The story about the Pakistani general defecting seems to have been reported by others and seems reasonably plausible.

Some other portions of Hersh's story just don't seem plausible to me (the Vox piece made a number of these points and more, but personally I think these are the strongest). If Bin Laden was under ISI control, I don't understand why the Pakistanis would have wanted the US to send in SEALs to kill him in Abottabad when they could have just put him on a helicopter and had the SEALs kill him in Afghanistan. That would have avoided all sorts of embarrassment to the Pakistani military and intelligence services. The fact that the US penetrated Pakistani air defenses was very embarrassing to the Pakistani military, as was the fact that Bin Laden was living practically down the street from a Pakistani military academy - not to mention that it seems strange that the Pakistanis and Americans would have chosen to undertake all the risks of discovery of sending helicopters in to a peaceful town when the ISI, which was supposedly guarding Bin Laden, could have just quietly taken him to a remote area.

The business about SEALs dumping parts of his body out of a helicopter also seems strange - given how politically charged the mission was I would imagine that they would have been incredibly disciplined and professional. And Hersh's explanation for the breach in US/Pakistani relations following the mission just seems convoluted and implausible. It seems very plausible to me that the US went in and killed Bin Laden without Pakistani knowledge, and that the mission caused the breach. Hersh's explanation just seems like he's building up a whole convoluted series of explanations to justify his theory.
Yeah basically. It may not actually be hanging in the air, but would it more or less look like it?

Or would it look more like a 3d TV, a window on the wall that has the appearance of volume, except with this research you can also move around a bit and the object changes as expected?
