It's 4/6 after the switch, not 3/6.

My understanding is that resistance to human pathogens is driven by waste water contamination. Human excrement combined with industrial quantities of antibiotics. I'm sure there is a smaller scale problem of human use, but that petri d

I mean, you can take a plane to Taipei. It isn't subjective or unprovable: the ROC will check your passport. They issue the currency you will use to buy food. The police work for them. Taxes are collected, exclusively, by them.

This PDF was generated by a neural network attempting to maximize the amount something can be from the 80's.

Not sure Obama is in the "persecuted" category OP was looking for.

This... is more fraught than you might guess. Really fiddly details can make things look goofy if you don't check.

That does lots of redundant prime checks, and presumed strong primes are rarer than weak primes, which is _implied_ in the article, but reading your code, nobody would know that (I'm not even sure I know it, really).

It required a notoriously hard-to-simplify proof, which required computer assisted brute force analysis. But an intuition is that a complete graph with four nodes is planar, and five is not. A (3,3) bipartite graph is also the smallest non-

I've sometimes been concerned that headline writing is (metaphorically) subcontracted to buzzfeed everywhere, NYT, The Atlantic, Bloomberg, just about everywhere.

Considering it is an email in the case of Stripe, I think you're analysis is correct.

I'm not sure there's any legal significance to those minute phrasing changes.

I mean, discussing your work with your coworkers is a pretty reasonable workplace responsibility. What's illegal about asking if someone was comfortable doing it?

I've actually blocked all telephone calls. This might be ill-advised, but I haven't been burned by it yet.

No, ya see, it's wrong to pay people in poorer countries less because now you're talking to a poor person. If you hire an American, you never even spoke to a poor person, so it isn't your fault. If that sounds like a fever dr

Indeed. He doesn't even endorse Trump so much as praise his hypnotic influence. Very strange things to hear about anyone. If you heard someone praise Elon Musk or Barack Obama as having a masterful way of manipulating people, and they

It's written in C, you should be able to FFI into it from anywhere. The API is reasonably small, too.

Sure, but not with a 4-second calculation based on a news headline. That's the larger point here.

He said almost impossible to imagine. It really was an extremely hyperbolic statement. I've never done security work but I've helped develop plans for when primary and secondary keys are stolen. It's something that should hav

Which, considering the article itself says cloud stuff is broken and they have no concrete proposals, felt like a sarcastic joke.

It's not uncountable because they have to be computable, which makes them countable again.

So, for a 50% confidence interval, you could look at the first word -- if it is a typo, boom, done. Otherwise, flip a coin. This stinks. Estimating is about approximating an answer with low information -- it's about efficiency of using

I can't make sense of these numbers. Can you report misconduct without speaking up? Or is there a lot of retaliation that doesn't induce any suffering, or...?

You're already hitting a database, you can add a column for whatever information you want. I've heard people are spooked by having too many columns, but more spooked than having essentially untestable production IDs in their code?

Holy smokes I just had flashbacks to working at a place that tested things in production and ended up with a couple of these production-db IDs in the code. Shudders

These aren't critics. These are scientists. Changing their results to suit corporate interests is a fire-able offense, and they are honor-bound to not retract unless the truth of their results are in question. Giving overly generous Ye

Most other comments here answer the question in the headline. The actual body of the article is an utterly ponderous exploration of dictionaries as signalling, to which I directly respond. If anything, my comment is perhaps the most on topi

This whole article is offensive to my personal sensibilities. I suspect this is because (not that I'm as fancy as the author) I have at least a smidgen or shadow of taste, so not being able to ostentatiously display how dignified and f

Considering the example code and test code is all (define func-name (lambda (....) )), this has got to be a lisp-1.
