Yeah I saw that. That just shows the test were unhelpful, in a direct sense. They might not even have any contaminated batches left.

This appears to have absolutely nothing to do with nutrition. It's contamination. People are getting sick hours after eating.

When a third party is involved there is a degree of accountability. A proper package repository would require everything to be logged and signed.

I realize there's two different sets of people involved, but it's still disappointing to see HN upvote both "psychology is trash science" articles and "what these scientists found will surprise you" clickbait.

IDEs are simply horrible at actually editing text. vi/emacs don't have much of a learning curve either if you use none of their features.

That's just a poor article. The English Wikipedia in general is a horrible source on anything related to the Nazis.

>There's a lot of research that shows these open and collaborative environments help kids learn.

Compared to what?

They don't consider participation or hours spent studying as explanations for bimodality. This makes their method of determining belief in the "geek gene" questionable, and could invert the moral story of their results: Perhaps lecturers seeing low lecture attendance would like to believe their grade distributions are bimodal, but the data shows the lecturers' impact is at best a tiny factor among many, and grades are determined by factors out of the lecturers' control, such as students' ability.

He might be very short or disfigured.

It's common for people to have too much trust in technical solutions, even when the solution includes stark warnings on its download page. It's even worse with VPNs and 'secure' email providers.

Tor can still be useful as a building block of the next thing, but people should start demanding something better than Tor.

At least E-Cat didn't initially claim to violate any fundamental laws of physics. The unnamed "aerospace company" he says he is working with will never see their money again.

Rocks and unicellular life are simply physical physical matter, and they are not conscious. We would not have evolved to be conscious, in a coherent manner too, if there was no benefit to it.

Evolution shows that there is something to consciousness that is beyond current physics, especially if we accept the world is not massively anthropocentric (biocentric?).

This is a bit like the debate on whether it's the current or the voltage that kills, with lift-to-drag ratio being resistance. You are right in the physics sense in that drag alone is enough to calculate instantaneous fuel consumption, but to calculate range you already need to consider mass ratios and lift.

That was exactly the original point. The article is weasely in its cherry-picking of examples. The veneer of civility is very thin.

This is just really weakly argued. Firstly, the notation does use capital X and and lowercase x. You need to realize these are different. It's not substitution to go from X^2 to x^2. Capital letters are not real numbers, and thus it's a type error too. Secondly, if you are familiar with differentiation and integration, you are familiar with straight substitution not always being correct.

I still insist it's an unfair comparison because the linux tablets were a minor sideshow to the symbian phones. Then of course it's a fair comparison in that symbian wasn't great either, but at least they didn't just minimally repurpose a desktop UI.

I think that's from a n800 or n810, which had no phone functionality and were based on gtk+ rather than Qt/QML. n900 calendar was totally different.

As far as I can tell the data does not adjust for usual hours worked or overtime beyond restricting to only full time data points. Men working more hours than women is a consistent trend across pretty much the whole world.

AMD did release new open source drivers recently, and they are much better than the old proprietary fglrx, or at least squeeze much more out of my low end GPU and have better stability and fewer glitches.

It's not just math, but every other field as well. Notation has only become more succinct as the price of paper fell, so it's really programming that's held back by legacy limitations and ASCII.

This isn't really a topic we should need to guess about - there are a few countries where child porn is/has been legal. I think Japan in particular only outlawed it recently.

On the contrary if the EU had been harder on Greece it would have boosted its popularity in the UK.

There were also people who voted for Hitler because they were racist. But maybe there were voters who did not really hate the jews. Perhaps they only wanted to seize their property. It's important to make the distinction.

If economics and prices were the cause of the crisis you would expect people's voting patterns to vary based on whether or not their profession's job pool scales up with population count. Yet I expect even most of those liable to be out of work if construction slows down with population growth to have voted to leave.

I'd be interested in knowing how this has been dealt with (or not) before. Was the problem recognized when designing E?

The top comment on /r/ethereum agrees with you on it not being a typo: https://www.reddit.com/r/ethereum/comments/4onbkj/deconstruc... . Hopefully in a few days we will have an authoritative explanation. Otherwise this might become a HN urban legend.

I don't get how the transfer vs Transfer typo is supposed to have enabled a larger attack. The token balance is zeroed in the splitDAO function anyway, and presumably the sanity checks in transfer are also redundant, or else there would have been no need for recursion.

Yes, since capslock+a is awkward to press. Altgr + any key can be hit without strain, at least if you have a keyboard that doesn't place altgr too far to the right.

I too found Colemak lacking. IMO it's because the most relevant keyboard layout metrics are

1) how well words break down into same hand "finger rolls", which help typing accuracy and to lesser extend speed

2) how often the same finger has to type multiple characters in succession

3) how often the same hand has to reach for the more awkward middle keys (y and b in qwerty) while also doing something with the middle finger

Finger travel distance is irrelevant. Common characters ought to be on the home row because your fingers can't roll across the top and bottom row.

Dvorak optimizes these very well. Workman seems to split bigrams across two hands, which prevents rolls. I would also recommend binding alt-gr to control in addition to making caps lock backspace.
