Note that a few papers (forgot the link) found that naturally occuring sugar is fine. (I ate a banana and two oranges today and that's already above 24g of sugar, so I got worried and went to do some research..)

So you are saying I can't opt out of both? Or will they take XYZ_nomap_optout ?

If I was the bad guys I would definitely do that. In fact, it's not enough to have a risk factor because there are many types of risk (terrorism risk, standard crime risk, political risk, and even whistle-blower risk, for those with

Has it? The quoted article had an interview with a developer where the developer mentioned IMAX. Not the article, but a guy with quotes around it. How does that lead to any consumer confusion at all?

The problem is I have 5MM "users" through several years and I want to compute their distance to a set of points that change through time, so I do care a lot about speed. Computing the geodesic distances was slow but not that slo

A quick question: I have a list of 100+ million points with their geographical distance, but I want to improve it and calculate the "driving distance". How expensive in terms of time/ops would that be? I'm scanning the d

Are there any large datasets out there representing n-partite networks? So instead of people connnecting w/people I see e.g. devedges between developers and languages, or products and users, and so on..

Could you provide details about what's lacking?

To expand on the other replies, and based on experience: 1) The way you get to sell products to investors is by promising some sort of alpha: "My fund is less risky, my derivative pays more for the same risk, etc." 2) But magic do

Indeed. I don't like much the "looks exactly like .." comments, because (even if I sometimes do think them), similarity in interfaces is actually a great thing, as it allows more people to easily switch and pick from r&#x2F

I see you downvoted (greyed out), but still think you have a point. They are saying this is the best quarter since 2000Q1 without realizing what's so special about that date..

Also my feeling. You've been a great inspiration about how to write great and useful code, but I still feel like the many great features of R (as you said some time ago, NA handling, data frames, etc.) are sometimes outweighed by the c

I had no clue that Z3 could be used for that..

This article fell a bit short of an explanation, as I still don't know how 2-Nonenal got there on the first place..

Is there an easy way to compute the second smallest eigenvalue in question if the graph is large? There is a well-known theorem that quickly computes the smallest eigenvalue if the graph is bipartite, but I'm not aware of any generaliz

For me, both are horrible. I use Stata a lot and thought a lot about switching to R (there is even a nice tutorial by Matthieu Gomez at http://www.princeton.edu/~mattg/statar/ ). However, I believe that moving to

These were the same types of people that said to me "don't use R, no one uses it" several years ago. I know there must be a balance between bleeding-edge and stability, but if in research you cannot use the new tools, then

So I was kinda agreeing with you, but a quick google search did turn out some insane accusations made by the US Govt that rogue DEA officers were behind retaliations to MtGox, including seizing 5MM of cash. Not so sure what to think anymo

I think we are all playing into EA's strategy by calling it Maxis instead of just EA. Simcity 2013 was a failure of EA, but by mentioning Maxis 11 times and EA only once (and in passing), it's as they give EA a carte blanche to fa

My guess is that it can then show deltas. I like how they show changes in graphics in e.g. PNG files

Are you kidding? It means that if you go to a coffes hop and plug your laptop, you can become compromised. Sure, random people in a starbucks won't, but it's a boon for industrial espionage!

However, in most cases you could just RawBlock (or was it BlockQuote?) with specific attributes, and then intercept those in a filter and convert to Latex.

My guess is that he is building the PDFs through latex/xetex. I built something similar to that, but instead of forking Pandoc (and investing the time to learn Haskell), I just added filters through Python. It's not at fast, but

by zzleeper 12y ago
This looks very interesting but I have a problem with this. I think MOST of these features could have been build just with clever uses of Pandoc filters. This means that i) it's fully compatible ii) it's very easy to extend

I remember the reason given at the time. The capabilities of your military radars are mostly a secret, and by revealing that they were able to spot the airplane so far away, they were telling a lot of information to the other regional power

Alcohol? For me, every time during the day that I see a car doing stupid things (i.e. stuff that can kill me on my bike) they are on their phones. Looking down, driving erratically, either too fast or too slow, etc. I still can't belie
