You will find more info in the WHO press release here http://who.int/mediacentre/news/releases/2015/mtct-hiv-cuba/... (under "note to editors" some, but there is a separate document mentioned that specifically addresses requirements)

There's an important extension that isn't clearly visible, which is the commodity aspect. When there's an established market for an artist, the financial success (see headline) is a necessary signal that the artist's market is healthy.

Everything else is more or less secondary, both to the market and to the artist as product and manufacturer. In other words, a lost/settled/won lawsuit is not a liability for him.

Thank you, I've been looking for another excuse to wholly submit to a marketing campaign.

Charles Darwin (pretty intelligent European) married his first cousin.

Not sure about the state of emulators.

Great compos this year. The PC 64k had some amazing stuff (conspiracy floored me). For anyone checking those out at home, your AV software is wrong.

Will be back at 11 pm UTC. Edit: Sorry about that, misunderstood. The schedule is here http://2015.revision-party.net/events/timetable

It's interesting that "luxury" gets invoked so often around this watch, compared to Rolex, etc. It's pretty clear they're going for the Veblen goods [0] category. No need to rationalize functionality, either.

Always thought there might be an evolutionary link to preference for literal headroom. Won't speculate which direction a study on this might go, but there are plenty of reasons to suspect a link.

Chronology's a bitch. Talk about authoritarian structure.

Same. Disabling dynamic floating preview (keyboard) also helps. For an extra boost, though it may be a stretch for some, get in dev mode and disable animations.

No love for MS here. Nexus 5, Nexus 7. Battery and speed. The 7+lollipop was a bummer for me, I used to be kinda proud of it. Now it needs ongoing maintenance (cache clearing).

>Do you condemn over-the-top caricatures of our Prophet? I do.

I don't. I like the ones of Jesus a little more though.

From a recent Guardian article: "Using a false identity, Hari had maliciously amended the Wikipedia pages of journalists he disliked [...]"

Hilarious. You must not have been in wicker park when gang fights were a common occurrence.

Bundling up the poor in massive housing complexes was/is a structurally racist, classist move.

It's also possible that they have it _all_ and none of the 3 "teasers" are indicative of the complete list. You should assume this is the case if you use dropbox, and act accordingly.

Yes, (replying to all here) you are correct. I found the claim distasteful to say the least, and reacted after reading the article. In any case, I couldn't have done a better job of pointing out the fallacy of it than the mongabay.com page. I would've edited again right away had I thought anyone needs more convincing of the overall point.

Such crap. Cattle ranches are the leading cause of Amazon deforestation in Brazil. Logging (legal and illegal) is 2-3%.

Edit: Right, here's some numbers: http://www.mongabay.com/brazil.html

"Often buoyant, the beads can soak up toxins like a sponge. And since they resemble the size of fish eggs, environmentalists fear the micro-plastics are making their way into the food chain via fish, birds and mammals."

Edit: unlike sand.

>>Accept the impermanence.

You're talking extremes, which is a little funny considering the time scales of all the links in the chain: artifact/art (millennia to centuries), museums (centuries to decades), google inc (?).

The painting analogy isn't really warranted, and this article is a metaphor at best. You could replace painting with poetry, music, or building furniture. There are a few definitions of painting, and there's lots of art being made that plays at pushing those definitions, so I can't claim to have the definitive one. However, essential things, such as the interface (which is in no small part responsible for the content of a painting), and the actual final product as object, are very, very different. A medium is also defined by its constraints, and from code to screen or printout the constraints of image-making are unlike anything you have in painting.

Generative art is beautiful, but not because it has anything to do with painting.

Edit: If this seems harsh, it's because I care about code just as much as I do about painting. Using any one of them as a catch-all for stereotypes is intellectually lazy (and often irritating).

All "offensive" details in The Last Judgement were covered soon after Michelangelo's death (1564). The fresco was restored 1980-1994, without the added loincloths, but a couple of the figures were actually heavily modified and impossible to restore. [0]

It'd be interesting to see if visual cues predicting the steering would counter motion sickness, I suspect so. A projection on the windshield could signal all upcoming steering movement over a threshold, giving your body time to brace.

Alzheimer's patients.

On The Verge, some more background: http://www.theverge.com/design/2014/5/19/5733060/the-metropo...

yup.

If you set up a server-side aggregator, with keyword filtering (imagine a large list, something in the +thousands of words) and have your reader check for those words every few minutes, you're basically plugged into the search engine, completely bypassing their front end. You can suck up their results, then filter those yourself, again. Even when they give you a limited number of searches, you can still set up multiple smaller RSS feeds, then put them all in one big feed. Do this for multiple search engines and you never have to click on their pages again.

It's basically a free service with no return for a search engine, while they're paying for the processing.

>>Equally interesting is how theoretical and ideological the answers are.<<

I picked up an interesting fact awhile ago, I don't have sources for you, but: Slavoj Žižek has (had?) a portrait of Stalin in his home, not as a sign of admiration, but as a reminder of how problematic ideologies are.

This is great. What's the maximum number of filters for one TwitterStreamAgent?

Edit: I mean keywords in a filter.

For my part, I think so is boredom.

The personal attachment that comes with using a good brand in this field isn't trivial, and it should be expected that users project their sensibilities on the brand. Being politically neutral in the view of its users should have been a priority for DP, regardless of which powerful gatekeepers to world markets are on Rice's speed dial.
