That's not an issue at all, if the government just acts as a lender to whoever is going to lose.

London accelerator EF raises £8.5M ($13.5M) to build 200+ deep tech startups
What's causing the prices to be so high? Is it the complexity of U.S. law? Would it help if you had 5 pages laws instead of 500 pages laws, or would that make things worse? (more room for loopholes) I'm inclined to believe simpler laws would help, though, because a lawyer wouldn't have to know tens of thousands of pages of laws by heart (or close to it), or at least wouldn't have to research tens of thousands of pages.

Would having to pay if you lose help, too? I imagine there would be fewer lawsuits then. I don't have any data to back it up, but it feels like the U.S. has the most lawsuits/capita. Other countries where you have to pay if you lose don't have that many.

Anyway, it definitely doesn't feel fair that you need hundreds of thousands of dollars for a good defense. That's why most people tend to take the plea deal even if they are not guilty of the charges they bring, or if they are "guilty" but only through some twisted interpretations of the law and the prosecutors, which could be invalidated in a Court, but they can't risk it (especially when the prosecutors tend to charge them with 10 different offenses and 30 years in prison for the least violent of crimes just to scare them into taking the 6 months in prison plea deal).

The U.S. prosecutors seem to be acting exactly like patent trolls - or the mafia: "We won't take you to Court if you just pay this small sum - or go to prison for this small amount of time."

Going forward, you will need to sign in to Visual Studio 2013 and 2015 with the Microsoft account associated with your active MSDN subscription through BizSpark.

BIZSPARK GRADUATION CHANGES: BizSpark members who complete the graduation process after 3 years in the program can keep most of the software downloaded through the program. However, because all versions of Visual Studio 2013 and 2015 will require you to sign in using a Microsoft account associated with an active MSDN subscription, startups will need to renew their MSDN subscriptions for each user running Visual Studio after graduation. BizSpark members have access to discounted MSDN subscriptions as part of their Graduation Offers. If you decide not to renew your MSDN subscriptions after graduation, you can still use one of these free editions: Visual Studio Community and Visual Studio Code.

If you have already downloaded Visual Studio 2013 and save your product key prior to the release of Visual Studio 2015 on July 20, you will be able to continue using Visual Studio 2013 after you graduate. You can find more information about graduation here.

So if you grab a license key before July 20th for VS2013, you can keep using it after your MSDN expires, but you can't keep using VS2015.

Maybe this is just Bizspark though, and doesn't apply to normal MSDN subscriptions.

In very sick patients (those generally filing for compassionate use) it's sometimes difficult to pin down whether the drug actually caused a problem or death. Were the patients properly adherent? Did they have comorbidities? Were they simply too sick and died?

Securing APIs in Suave(fsharp) Using JSON Web Token
From my limited understanding, the US has rather simple statutory laws. In other words, the legislature only promulgates 5 pages of law. But given that reality is complex, these laws cannot cover all the cases. So the judicial branch makes certain decisions themselves, and these decisions become binding to later and lower courts (a.k.a precedents). These precedent based laws are very complicated and amount to 500 pages.

So, I guess your idea won't work. Either the legislature thinks up front and publishes 500 pages, or the courts have to fill in the blanks between page 5 and page 500 themselves.

I'm not overestimating humans, I never said they couldn't fail. What I base my comments on, is people I know that study AI research (mostly graduate students and some doing their doctorate). All of them say that even state of the art AI for a specific purpose, let's say something as simple as face detection (not recognition, just "this is a face") fails for a lot of inputs.

That is not to say some people that are drunk or tired and make the same mistakes as an AI in a driving scenario - the difference is that a computer will always be confused by a scenario that it cannot understand (and in worst case misintreped it), whereas humans have a much easier timer making sense of such situations.

Until we have a strong AI with sensory capabilities akin to our own, I doubt we'll see truly selfdriving cars that require no human intervention. I'd love to be proved wrong, but the research is having a hard time breaking the last 1% needed.

It makes some sense to offer open ended packages, but not when the value of the open ended packages is far too high for anyone to consider buying it if they didn't expect to significantly overuse it. And $250k really isn't that much money in terms of first class tickets, or in the scope of an airline's cost base.

I suspect the owners of the passes were more characterised by having the sort of occupations where they could effortlessly stump up free cash, and a lot of time or requirement to travel, and probably a fondness for first class too. Most people with a mind for opportunistic life hacks don't have $250k to invest in future airline tickets.
Have you ever worked in vim? If you haven't, the way I learned the basics was by watching these videos: http://derekwyatt.org/vim/tutorials/

vim has a few very interesting plugins that I recommend installing, especially if you are interested in working with vim every day instead of using it only through ssh. If you end up going with vim and like it, answer me and I will go over the plugins I like the most.
Well Apple backs-up iMessages by default anyway. So even if it is end-to-end, they still have a copy of everything on their servers, unless you disable the iMessage syncing.

I tried polyphasic sleep where you sleep 10 minutes every 3 hours, except I couldn't fall asleep quickly enough so I didn't sleep at all for >72 hours. The strange thing is that I got the idea that I was somehow more awake, more focused. All the background thoughts in your brain disappear, and it makes you think you have laser focus on what you are doing. Except that you objectively suck at what you are doing...

A few weeks after that experiment I found out that some of my memories were missing. I was in high school at the time and I took a university course in classical mechanics with a few friends. This meant going with the train to a different city several times per week, but I had totally forgotten that I did that. I only realized this when my fiends kept talking about it as if I was there too. The memories did come back later; the lack of sleep only only broke the reference to that memory and when the reference was restored the memory itself was still in tact.

>It's really easy to parse, compresses nicely, and is quite flexible in terms of schema

It fine in modern languages with good string parsing tools but if you have a v2 parser using simpler techniques in something that's difficult to debug with, it can be a nightmare when something goes slightly wrong. I'm not a fan of how we did it, but it has worked for 95% of cases and was coded in 1999, so I can't really complain all that much.

Part of the struggle is massaging message parses where a vendor is doing something slightly differently (or very terribly, like adding the lab's director on every fucking OBX segment as if the director will get fired mid-HL7 message and we gotta know about it).

> "...the stupidity of AA for selling these tickets..."

From the article:

"Each had paid American more than $350,000 for an unlimited AAirpass and a companion ticket that allowed them to take someone along on their adventures. ...

[T]he marquee item was the lifetime unlimited AAirpass, which started at $250,000. ... For an extra $150,000, they could buy a companion pass. Older fliers got discounts based on their age.

When American introduced the AAirpass in 1981, it saw a chance to raise millions of dollars for expansion at a time of record-high interest rates."

From Wolfram Alpha:

$400000 (1981 US dollars) in 2015
equals:
$1.059 million (2015 US dollars)
(based on Consumer Price Index)

These individuals each gave American Airlines more than a million dollars for expansion during a time when it was really hard to get money from banks. In exchange for their investment, they got a lifetime, unlimited travel ticket for two. (Notice that older investors were permitted to invest LESS to get the same benefits, in recognition that an older person would realize less benefit from the compensation.)

AA was looking for non-traditional investors. I think that unlimited air travel for two for the rest of the investor's life is a reasonable alternative to a cut of the company's profits for a one-million dollar outlay, don't you?

Well, per Emily Lakdawalla's blog quoting scientist Amy Barr (http://www.planetary.org/blogs/emily-lakdawalla/2015/0715172...):

Every time we have looked at a body that has experienced tidal heating, such as Io, Europa, Enceladus, we find that the body has been more active, or is putting out 10 to 100 times the amount of heat predicted by models.

Enceladus taught us that our models of tidal heating for icy bodies were not right, and I think the Pluto/Charon system could be telling us something similar.

And it's not like these people weren't already reviewing the current state of the art in anticipation of how these Pluto images might add to it.

This happens quite often on bad machines and nearly never on machines with a really good memory module / awesome ssd's.

Also that they support everything down to Java6 makes their codebase on some edges quite wierd.

Also I don't get it why they use so many languages at once (Java, Kotlin, Groovy) and I think some parts are in C++ (fileWatcher, launcher, restarter, updater, fsnotifier)?

Your point is well-taken in the abstract, but I don't think it applies here. This is one of those cases where the defense must make the case complicated, because otherwise they lose.

There is no dispute that Manning actually did most of the things she is accused of doing. I don't think she's contending that it was someone else who leaked those classified materials. The defense is in a position of arguing that, despite those things, for various reasons Manning should nonetheless be found not guilty, or at least her sentence should be reduced. They will try to make the case not about straightforward factual events, but about Manning's intentions and motivations, the nature of the information involved, the impact of the disclosures, the broader social and political implications of finding her guilty, etc.

A straightforward legal procedure would certainly be cheaper. It'd also be one that would find Manning guilty without even considering the mitigating factors she's relying on for her defense.

This is the obvious strategy, but it's not always applicable.

For example when profiling a long-running service, or a kernel, there's no "absolute time it needs", you need other proxies of running time such as the CPU usage percentage, but even that is not noise-free.

So if you just run "perf" on it, you need to be aware of this fallacy.
