What you say is correct, interpreting "primes" as meaning "the values 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, etc.". Every positive rational is essentially uniquely a product of finitely many of these values raised to integer powers.

That having been said, what is it that makes these particular values "prime"? It's that they cannot be (nontrivially) decomposed into further factors. But in the rationals, they can be! 2 = 1.6 * 1.25, 3 = 1.6 * 1.875, etc. The inability to further factor 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, etc., which causes us to single them out as "prime" in the first place, is only on an account of factorization into whole numbers excluding such rational factorizations.

So it's in that context that my comment was to be understood: the fact that 6 specifically has the irreducible factorization 2 x 3 is not universally true, but only true in particular contexts, of which the most common would be the integers. In the mentioned context of the reals, or even just the rationals, we could instead note that 6 (or anything, really) could continue being divided indefinitely, thus having no particular "prime factorization" in the sense of a factorization which cannot be further refined.

It's really hard, for someone who grew up with state-provided healthcare, to understand how dealing with an illness involves decisions about employment.

To the OP: the system is deeply unfair, and you shouldn't feel bad for obtaining what in the rest of the civilized world is an unalienable right.

putting them in prison doesn't do anything for the victim, maybe we should just let them go free, amirite?

it is about justice. not vengeance. not revenge. justice. if you burn my house to the ground, you go to prison, I sue you and take your property. that is just.

if you intentionally and with malice kidnap, rape, beat, shoot and then bury alive a 19 year old girl (like Clayton Lockett did). then you don't get to breathe the same air as the rest of us. you don't get to go outside, you don't get your prison tv. you get a needle and an unmarked grave. it is what is fair.

I had a similar thing happen when I found out one of my competition got funding from Mark Cuban and the another competitor got a pretty big round (fresh from their graduation at YC).

But then I thought about it. What a wonderful validation of our idea. And we think we can do it better.

Look at the angles and if you have to reshape your idea then do so. Maybe some competitive advantage you have will stick out or you'll develop it after seeing their offering. But think of this as a good thing. Investors love competition. It means there's a market.
Did Mario always have this much... inertia?
I 100% agree with you. However, think about the cases where the person is not guilty, and they are railroaded (for whatever reason, I won't pretend to understand) into either a guilty plea or just a conviction, with not only no supporting evidence, but plentiful evidence that refutes the charge.

The "justice" system in the US and many other countries isn't even trying to be "right", they are just processing through people. If they were truly concerned about justice, we wouldn't have stories of people who can't afford lawyers sitting on death row for crimes there's no evidence they committed. It is just another example of theater.
Fair enough as that's a huge part of the problem. Yet, if firewalls should be trusted, they need to meet these basic critera:

1. Attention paid to firmware security and its ability to load kernel.

2. Firewall TCB is strong in that it can prevent or contain compromises.

3. Each component is isolated with restricted interactions subject to believable security arguments, static analysis, or formal verification.

4. Every piece of every packet is inspected for foul play.

5. Covert storage and timing channel mitigation is in place.

6. Supports application-layer security for whatever it's being used for.

Can you name a single firewall that meets all these criteria? That's how guard's were designed in the past before firewalls got invented to ignore most of that. So, firewalls (in theory and practice) are technically incapable of doing their job unless the coders were nearly perfect. Then, they're marketed as doing much more than they can. So, why people demand firewalls instead of companies getting the cost of guards down is beyond me.

Here's an example of a real firewall that is more like a guard in practice:

A nice architecture combining highly assured firewalls and SNS Server guard (15-20 years without compromise) with COTS enhancements for quite a security argument:

http://www.dtic.mil/dtic/tr/fulltext/u2/a425566.pdf

Once I see the real thing, esp seeing NSA pentesters achieve nothing, it's hard for me to make excuses for security engineers making the same mistakes for years despite being shown what works. I've sent about every firewall vendor validation reports of what made it and why. They don't care and that's why firewalls are some stupid crap industry trusts but shouldn't.
These sound right to me. I had cancer my senior year of college; not the same at all but also in a position of trying to hold all my classes together, not let potential employers find out, etc. Four months of treatment and I was done; I sincerely hope you're as lucky.

Whether you are or not, though, it's true don't panic and cover your ass are critical. Fortunately we live in an era of obamacare, though, as well as regs about covering prexisting conditions. A hitch in what the top commenter said is that you may not in fact be able to keep your job through treatment. I had three week rotations, where the first five days of each rotation (sat - weds) were sitting in the hospital all day hooked up to an IV, and it's not a reasonable work environment.

Obviously gather all the information, but I'd say get ready to get the cobra if you can't hold it down at work with whatever scheduling arrangements the hospital can make, and if that runs out on you you'll still be able to pay for something that will cover you.

This is the logical conclusion of title IX, which is the education version of section VII of the civil rights act.

Both define discrimination in such a broad way, that expressing an opinion could be considered as discrimination. Whether that opinion is "girls are not as smart as boys on average" or "political correctness has gone too far" is a detail. In principal, holding any incorrect opinion could indicate a bias that leads to discrimination.
> Unfortunately, as you point out, it's hard to reform those laws, because when you have people who want to repeal progress entirely, it's hard to distinguish (and, practically, there might not be any difference) between "reform" and "repeal."

As somebody who often takes the "reform" side I'd say it's not an accidental misunderstanding when people think I'm saying "repeal". FWICT it stems from a deep and fundamental disrespect for the views of others. It's a common pattern: the default response to someone being critical of any social justice movement is an accusation of racism, sexism, bigotry, etc. Honestly it's why I try to only discuss these things anonymously on the internet where it isn't so risky.
Hear-hear. Aside from a big directory of ascii text files, I can't think of a more future proof method of storage. So sqlite has that going for it, in addition to the extension API - which is awesome. I recently had to write some integration software for Kronos and some no name security system, as I was already storing the data in sqlite I decided to handle the Kronos business logic with a loadable extension - it was a pretty pleasant experience. Actually, I'm pretty sure there is an extension out there that allows you to use a directory of CSV files for table storage...
This is a phenomenal comment.

IF this turns out to be malignant and requires chemo, avoid stress if at all possible. Also consider going on a high food value diet (tons of veggies) with natural high fiber powders. Exercise.

I'm not saying any of this will help with cancer. Diet and exercise combined with a low stress lifestyle will maximize your bodies ability to recover from the chemo. Also this will help your brain keep optimized so depression won't bring you down which will cause stress.
+1 to "You need exercises." I'd read through Learn You a Haskell about 1.5 times but not really felt like I knew the language. The exercised from the CIS194 course in your links were a lot more effective, though I've only made it through the first 3-4.

My brother has survived having B Cell Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma twice throughout his mid teens and early 20s. The kind he had was pretty rare/aggressive as well. He's going on 30 this year and has been clean since. The diagnosis probably hit you and your family like a ton of bricks, but your chances of getting through it are likely good and I know treatments have improved quite a bit in the past 10 years.

If you do happen to have one of the aggressive forms, start treatment ASAP after having proper consultation. I know my brother started the day after he was diagnosed, but his was aggressive and already advanced. If yours is not, it may not need to be so rushed, but I'm not a doctor, so don't take anything I say as proper medical advice please.

If there's anything I can answer about the experience my family went through with my brother, just drop me an email (can be found at my github account linked in my hn profile).
So very true. From the article:

In almost all societies a lot of men enjoy unwarranted advantages simply because of their sex. Much has been done over the past 50 years to put this injustice right; quite a bit still remains to be done.

Yes, and then they explain how teachers in OECD countries will give a paper a lower grade if they discover it was written by a boy. How then far more women are admitted to colleges than men (it's now about 50% more women than men) and how much of an employment advantage a college degree is. That 78% of never-married women consider it "very important" that a man have steady employment, while only 46% of men make that same demand of women.

Ah, the unwarranted advantages of being a man. Much has been done to men already, but apparently quite a bit more needs to be done to them to put this injustice right.
Along with a collaborator from MIT,(1) I helped create rSkin, a multi-touch stretchable textile sensor for robotics.(2)

Here are some really interesting things I learned about e-textiles during my project

- The hard/soft interface is really hard.

At some point you need to interface with electronics and in many cases this will be a failure point. Also, normal electrical contact methods like soldering just don't work.

- Stretch is really hard.

Most of the fabrics shown don't look like they have much stretch, but I wanted something that could wrap around robot joints. Turns out that calibrating a sensor for this task is very hard to model. Even without stretch calibrating and maintaining calibration can be hard.

- Metal oxidizes

I'm hoping Google has taken care of this but many of the thread types I had at the time were silver based and would degrade (become much more resistive) over just a few months.

- Getting high resolution sensors is tricky.

Getting a ton of conductive threads wired up in a matrix means you're trying to do lots and lots of hard/soft interfaces. Automating bringing all those threads from one grid direction into a tight layout to match with a board or other metal conductor will be a very interesting manufacturing challenge.

I'm surprised and excited to see Google take this on as I still feel there is huge potential for e-textiles in softer and more sensitive robotics.

Don't listen to this. Don't let yourself have any gap in coverage and if the new plan isn't as generous with the coverage then it may pay to cover the COBRA premiums and use your old insurance as the primary.

There will be a gap between quitting and getting the paperwork and mailing in your premium. They will reactivate your old insurance retroactive but that's something to be aware of.

Uh, yeah, lots of companies spend money on lawyers to pay minimum wage to H1Bs.

Suuuuuuuuure.

And H1B's don't represent more people hired. The data shows that companies use H1B's to replace existing employees.

So, you don't improve employment but you do reduce the demand. Congratulations, welcome to a downward spiral.
The overwhelming majority of opiates that kids begin experimenting with are found from professional chemists, with testing requirements on purity -- and are safely packaged in their parents' or friends' parents' cabinets.

Spending the money on the Silk Road trial on ads talking about how addictive and dangerous stuff from the pharmacy can be -- even more so than stuff on the street -- and that you need to be careful experimenting with medicines would likely do more to keep people safe from opiates than shutting down Silk Road.

(There's a similar argument to be made about stimulants and ADD/ADHD meds.)

Really, the only things that people can find on Silk Road which doesn't have a ready medical analog that's abused by people all the time is marijuana and hallucinogens -- the drugs on the safest end of the spectrum.

If your conjecture is true, and Silk Road gets people out of their pill cabinet on to safer things to experiment with, then it's actually making people safer to let them explore like that.

The problem with these debates is that drug policy involves a complex network of different pieces that are interlinked, and what seems like a straight forward solution to one issue actually ends up backfiring when the effects move through the network.

Yes, LINE already has many users in Spain and other Southeast Asia countries.
KakaoTalk is launched at 2010, before the smartphone market is matured. At the first time KaKaoTalk was made, Samsung and LG (both of them are Korean tech giant) dramatically produce many Android device, but there's no wonderful messaging app. (WhatsApp is not an free model, and other messaging app's quality it not that good) After KaKaotalk have gained lots of popularity, Naver made two messaging app named NaverTalk and LINE. NaverTalk based on Korean market and they failed since KakaoTalk already occupy all the smartphone. But LINE is based on Japan and they succeed, so Naver threw out NaverTalk and focused on LINE.
At this time, Daum (before merged with KaKao) made messaging app named MyPeople. They have many users in Korea, but didn't make a profit because of KaKaoTalk. And MyPeople also removed from the market after Daum merged with Kakao.
I think a more realistic moral scenario is this: you come around a bend, and there's a five year old on a tricycle in the road. He shouldn't be there; but he is. Do you plow over him, with minimal damage to the car, or try to break/avoid him with the risk of going off the road and into the ocean below - or hitting the cliff?

What if you're in your car with your family?

The best answer is of course: never let the car travel so fast this scenario happens - but given the possibility of an oil spill around the bend -- that might be very slow indeed.

I hate to say this but his response to you is a huge red flag and if I were you I'd seek a new gig. I might be looking to much into it but that statement is pretty backhanded and either he doesn't like you, doesn't care, or he's an idiot. Now, you can suck it up and stay, but you're miserable. I think you know what you want to do. Just do it strategically and you'll be fine.

After reading comments here and on arstechnica, I'm terrified by the number of people who still seem to blindly trust our government and support the drug war.

Welcome to Barack Obama's America.
Actually, we use an ORM that is just SQL. I learned a long time ago that I couldn't trust most of the developers I worked with to dispose their ADO.NET objects properly, and that given an inch to concatenate strings, they'll take a mile of SQL injection. So years ago I developed a system around const strings (defined in attributes tagged to methods, so you don't have any option, the string must be constant) and reflection.

It's exactly, 100% the code you would write if you were writing ADO.NET code from scratch. It just doesn't give you the option of screwing it up. Stored Procedures get created automatically. You can prototype queries as text queries if you want, before flipping a switch to make them SPs. You don't have to worry about matching parameter names in the SP declaration correctly, because it's drawn from the method signature. The result sets map out to plain, ol' C# classes with 0 effort. And it all runs fast, because it doesn't do any sort of graph traversals to figure out type mappings. It just takes the first layer of reflection and runs the entire mapping against that. Not enough overhead to ever worry about.

And he'd rather be super verbose and just write his own ADO.NET code, for no benefit and a whole lot of error.
Well, other people have said it all... but I think I should emphasize their words.

What were/are your symptoms?

I had Hodgkin's lymphoma some years ago, and I can tell you this: Don't panic. Not all cancers are the same, and the earlier the discovery and treatment, the better. I suggest to read as much as possible about your specific illness. There are lots of resources online, and many support/help forums. Also, seriously, don't blame yourself because it is not your fault, you don't control it. And finally: you should care about yourself first, forget money or other people's little problems.

Keeping yourself active is the best thing you could do. You have to care a bit, though, and try not to get sick. You probably won't be able to work for a few days after chemo (this depends on the treatment, though), and it may affect you in many different ways.

I don't know much about insurance and related things in the US.

Just ignore "alternative" medicine, it's just a waste of time and money.

Make sure to eat well, but also make sure that the food won't affect you.

My best wishes to you. Hope this helps.

That's an interesting thought. Imagine if you needed the same jury of twelve people who were present at the trial, to all push a button simultaneously in order to mete out whatever punishment they had decided was fair. (Anyone other than those twelve might be acting on bias or stereotype due to a lack of information about the case, after all.)

In fact, to go a bit further with this—imaging that ongoing punishment required getting this group of people back together at regular intervals and getting them all to push the button again. (For example, meting out a lifetime prison sentence one year, or one month, at a time.) It isn't meant to cause re-evaluation due to the meeting being a hassle, so maybe they could just do this online—but it should cause re-evaluation of whether each juror still feels as strongly about the person's sentence now as they did before.

One could even imagine a situation where any capitol punishment would be measured in QALYs, and then the jury each have to do that many man-years of confirming in order to apply the punishment. (Thus, applying a sentence of death to an eighteen-year-old would require decades of total work, or years per juror.) That seems about the right weight upon one's conscience. It would also mean you'd probably never be able to do jury duty more than once in your life.
That is the case. He creates a SqlCommand object and then concats the parameters he wants into the query string, rather than adding a parameter to the query, or creating an SP.

Yes, he was convicted of the Narcotics Conspiracy count in which the murder-for-hire scheme was one of the several charged over acts.
What it ignores though is the interesting part, if the hiring manager knows of his illness.

I'm quite right wing, but that's why imho medical costs should be socialized. But of course, there are many problems that come along with that.
The only change I'd make is to ensure you prioritize your overall health more than you might otherwise, while working at your new job. If that means working efficiently 40-45 hours/week vs. being less-efficient for 50-60 hours/week, shouldn't be a big deal.

I don't think an 18 employee company is self insuring the risk, so it will be a very small impact.

I would probably not do a founding role at a startup while dealing with cancer or other serious medical or family issue, but an 18 person employer isn't a big deal.
