Can you find me a paper that says eating a Sausage McMuffin every morning won't shorten my lifespan?

I have a 2009 Mac Pro that can no longer be updated because they dropped support for a ton of NVIDIA cards in Mojave.

I'm not sure why I'm replying to click-bait PR, but here it is anyway:

Maybe I'm alone here, but I have an extreme distaste for personalized search results. I know what I want to see; it's pretty rare search knows what I want to see when it's trying.

Take the "chips" example from the interview--maybe I'm tired of eating the same fucking chips every day. Maybe I just want to know what the most popular options out there are without having to scroll a lot. Not to mention that I have a preference for Pringles, I'm going to type the brand name into the search when I want to find it. (If I'm a dog lover, I don't expect Google to rank dog results first when I type in "animals." I expect information about animals in general.)

If it were ever to reach that point, sure, I'll give you that.

First of all, piracy is a workaround and not a legitimate solution to any problem. Second, it doesn't solve the root issue here--somebody has to have paid the inflated cost of an Elsevier subscription. Sci-hub doesn't exist in a vacuum.

> ask one of my friends in other universities if I wanted a paper badly

Surely, you see the problem here?

Not to be an ass, but is there some new feature of Anki I'm missing? Or is this kind of like posting "Google: A Search Engine Worth Checking Out"?

nice try, financial times subscription department

In response to #2, there is also a reason that photojournalism exists--unless you believe in a world where everyone imagines what important figures and historic events look like based solely on textual descriptions. This is completely ignoring the fact that I, nor most of society, would never attempt to receive the day's news via Morse Code.

Or, you know, you could take trash with you every time you leave the car like normal human beings who don't hoard garbage.

This project and particular site have been around, largely unchanged, for many years.

The WU-Minn side of the project is seemingly more active, and their dataset is much, much easier to obtain: http://humanconnectome.org/data/. Their scripts for processing the data are up on github at https://github.com/Washington-University/Pipelines.

Overly pedantic, maybe. And it's an awful analogy because he awkwardly abandons it halfway through. Nobody's ever arrested or tried a hornet in a court of law.

This is a little bit like coming into a thread about sailing and asking people to prove to you the earth is round by showing citations.

Why don't you start by showing your citations that say otherwise?

you're right about the springboard bit. as for the crash itself, it's easier for me to just to quote a reddit comment:

"It only works when the message has to be abbreviated with '...'. This is usually on the lock screen and main menu of Messages.app.

The words effective and power can be anything as long as they're on two different lines, which forces the Arabic text farther down the message where some of the letters will be replaced with '...'

The crash happens when the first dot replaces part of one of the Arabic characters (they require more than one byte to store) Normally there are safety checks to make sure half characters aren't stored, but this replacement bypasses those checks for whatever reason."

I haven't used AdBlock for a year or so now, but I'm fairly certain sure his model was donationware. Did something change recently?

Methanol poisoning was an deliberate act by the government during Prohibition. https://www.vox.com/2014/8/8/5975605/alcohol-prohibition-poi...

More formal and comprehensive, absolutely. If you want something that's more friendly to neophytes, Beej's guide is the way to go. It's quite literally what they used in my upper div intro to Networking course at UCLA years ago.

The Supreme Court just ruled on Tuesday that police can't hold suspects to wait for a drug sniffing dog, so there's even more reason to refuse now.

That first technique A) is very audibly noticeable B) requires you to put the laptop on a chair and wheel it around the room to make up for the fact that you only have a single microphone.

The second technique basically only understands gestures.

I wouldn't be at all worried about this in the wild...

Why wouldn't they just track his cell phone, then?

Source?

The Metasploit folks released their exploit not too long ago. I haven't had any hits monitoring my Apache logs all day until just recently. Good luck/god bless to everybody.

Welp, I'm about to take a hammer to all of my data centers and get busy, then move deep into the woods. Good luck to everybody else who decides to leave their equipment functioning; it was nice knowing you.

This is wild speculation, but when I read the announcement I figured that they're planning to provide the firmware and software for free, while selling fully-assembled hardware pre-loaded with the stack. Can't always rely on donations alone.

I could quite easily be wrong, but without money in the equation, I feel like it would make more sense for them to work with OpenWRT rather than fork it.

pv is by no means a standard include. Also the obvious advantage here is being able to monitor progress for processes you didn't pipe to pv initially (e.g., forgot or didn't think it would be a long transfer).

> Realistically it's absurd that Netflix isn't use a whole variety of ISPs to manage the load themselves. Other big data providers do it. Why can't they?

IIRC, Netflix offered to provide hardware to all the major ISPs that would cache Netflix content at the ISP data centers. Not a single one took them up on the offer.

I learned bash using tldp years ago, never had any major issues.

There are most certainly conflicting interpretations: your interpretation of the document and the medical professional's interpretation of the document. It's just like how if both you and, say, a journalist or a firefighter read the same piece of code; you would have two wildly different interpretations.

Look, while I can't claim to know your situation, 9 times out of 10 it is a very bad idea to do self-diagnosis over the internet vs. taking professional advice. Even if you have a pretty good idea of what might be ailing you, there are subtle nuances to all kinds of diseases and conditions that doctors tend to understand. If you've already got second (maybe even third) opinions already, and you've come to the conclusion that none of the doctors in your area know what they're talking about, you should probably move. I don't see what other options you have here, particularly if you require prescribed medications. You might even be able to find other employment that way.

As for the startup, yes, it's unfortunate that it will tank without you, but the way you've described it, you're literally killing yourself slowly. It will end the same way regardless. You are doing NOBODY a favor by continuing on, least of all yourself.

PS Exactly how expensive are your Vitamin D supplements? They're ridiculously cheap in the US, maybe $15 for 90 capsules. International shipping might still come out cheaper.

How certain are you that you understand those documents better than medical professionals?

Assuming the upper end of that--for a lab with 10 researchers (forget the students, postdocs, etc. for a second), you could save maybe half the cost by hiring a single IT person to do this. Aside from their sb client, I don't see anything in this that can't be downloaded and installed (either from source or automagically from any of the freely available science-related R, Python, etc. repos).

Neat idea, I just find it difficult to justify a $1000/mo per-machine cost, especially in academia.
