When I lived in London I cycled everywhere. I never felt it was unsafe. The excellent visibility and one's agility make it difficult to get into trouble. To do that takes recklessness, never in short supply.
100+ temps are OK. I cycle in the low desert in Summer and don't have any problems. The slipstream has a sufficiently cooling effect for what is a low-power activity.
Innovation or not, I'd rather be reading a story about a student using his undoubted abilities to advance the human cause. Remaking Mario is the depth of irrelevance.
We interviewed the top contestants for a software developer position supporting internal systems such as accounting, claims processing and inventory.
- one had severe Aspergers.
- one never tested, on principle.
- none of them ever documented anything.
- one refused to code in anything but Haskell.
- no-one had ever heard of accounting, claims processing or inventory.
- one did not speak any English.
There was one old guy who came last in the contest. He was slow but he wrote good code, tested thoroughly, documented, had mastered several languages, had extensive experience of common corporate information systems and seemed quite personable.
In the end we went with the Aspergers guy. He accepted minimum wage so big win for the company. Right?
Good point about the writing. In fact, the director did a great job in that first story. I still have a clear memory of the first shot containing a Dalek. It was taken from the Dalek's perspective and the only visible part of it was the plunger closing in on a terrified Barbara. And the terrified me at 12 yrs.
TFA makes it clear Kaufman understood the issues and cleared them. Data visible to "friends of friends" is visible to potentially anyone and should be considered public.
It looks to me like Michael Zimmer the privacy scholar has chosen Kaufman's work as fertile hunting grounds for fame and future grants.
I prefer to characterize my acceptance of scientific results as 'trust'. There is a worldwide community of scientists reviewing and attempting to duplicate results. I trust that the system weeds out incorrect or inadequate hypotheses and what is left is science's current best model of reality. I may not understand most science but I understand how the system works.
Faith, as applied to religion, is a mental illness involving the acceptance of ludicrous statements made by religious authority figures without evidence.
We tried to change to an AT&T contract-free plan. After we paid for and received the new sims they told us the plan was not available and offered us a plan costing way more than our current T-mobile plan. Stupid bait-and-switch.
Wrong. If it is unjust then it does not work at all. You don't solve victimization by giving potential victims unlimited power to accuse whomever they please, thus creating real victims who have no recourse.
It seems necessary to favor the bogusly offendable in order to protect the truly harassed but ultimately all parties must be subject to neutrally-applied accountability. Sexual harassment, as with other damaging disrespecting behaviors, must be stamped out in the workplace, but not at the cost of the misery generated by ill-intentioned people with control issues and personal agendas.
Nope - the stategy was sound. The French high command expected to deploy troops in Belgium to fill in between the Belgian fortresses so as to form a complete line. There should have been an agreement in place with Belgium; there was none - when the French government requested permission to deploy French troops in Belgium King Leopold refused.
I agree with the other posts that discrete math and graph theory come up more often in programming but the decider should be which will you enjoy. Any math will be helpful because of the rigor and problem-solving aspects.
I took a graph theory course as part of a math major and rated it the most stimulating of all the courses.
Agreed the owning authority should investigate. But why the FBI? The IT people on the pilot could have figured out was happening and handed off to their legal dept for review.
BTW, does the FBI really do a stakeout by having a goon park outside the house? So sixties/Hoover.
The key element is that someone has demonstrated the effectiveness of modern instrument-making. It's a small step to use slightly different wood; I'm convinced one could make the perfect instrument from modern materials but the classical music culture is extremely resistant to tech enhancement.
The perception that a wooden violin engineered to 18th century standards cannot be surpassed is so fimly embedded in the violinist culture that it may never be recognized as the myth it surely is.
Wildlife parks should not be letting anyone touch tarantulas for the same reason Australians should not pick one up: urticating hairs. The venom is at most mildly irritating but the hairs could mess up your eyes.

Well, I am "willing to penetrate" certain young female celebrities. Doesn't mean I did. Doesn't even mean would. Certainly won't get the opprtunity.

Does anyone else find "pwn" to be fucking annoying?

Thanks for the info, the honor code explains the offer to return the letter, which I perceive to be the most interesting part of the story.

Poor analogy. In our NJ back yard tomato plants grew as weeds. We harvested tomatoes from plants growing in the gaps between concrete patio slabs.
