You're writing a book and you want plugs, plugs, plugs. Get over yourself - all you did was post the codes that let you enable the LEDs without having the SDK. Anyone with the SDK can get these codes. Oh, and you made a thread on Reddit.
You contributed nothing of significance to this project, which itself is nothing of significance - it's just people messing around with the Oculus Rift Development Kit 2 and trying to get it to do stuff without using the development kit.
Well, ten days ago, these guys were saying it could never spread beyond the original source patient, because this is America.
Who said that? And it hasn't spread beyond the original source patient, so if anyone actually did say that (which is unlikely), they're correct for now.
Are you kidding me? You are saying that it won't spread in your very fucking post. Look below at what you fucking wrote. And yes, it has spread, due to exposure to the first guy.
Ten days before *that*, these guys were the ones saying it could never even reach America, because... I don't know.
Who said that? I never heard anyone in an official position say that. In fact, I heard some say that it could, and probably would reach America, but that it would be contained. E.g., this article from back in July 29: "Why Deadly Ebola Virus Is Likely to Hit the U.S. But Not Spread"
The media in general earlier this year was playing it down, saying shit would never reach America due to airport screening, how it's not very infectious, how Americans don't drink water used to wash the dead, or roll around in shit, etc. They were doing anything and everything to paint a picture that portrayed the affected countries as slop pits with people wallowing in disease and filth.
Depending on the situation that can actually be true. Classified documents, for example, are classified on the authority of the President. This means that if he decides to declassify something he doesn't have to go through any official procedures. So if Obama says something that's classified in a speech he hasn't broken the law. He's not above the law. He is the law. Literally.
Welcome to the economy, academia. Cry all you want about funding leveling off. You shouldn't have expected it to grow indefinitely and shouldn't have whipped up class after class of student who will, in the real world, be unemployable to any degree that will pay off their loans before they're dead.
There are 2 ways to fix this: 1 - Stop creating students/graduates that no one wants to hire (postdoc or otherwise). 2 - Stop attracting students you have no intention of turning into graduates people want to hire.
It's not a university's direct job to ensure someone is employable, but it is their job to ensure that they are educated in something useful. Being unemployable typically means your skills aren't seen as useful enough to be paid to do shit (or unique enough to be the one selected out of many).
TL;DR: Common sense: Too many cookies? Stop making cookies. Academia: Too many postdoc researchers? Make more, faster.
No, they get it alright - those ads are by design.
Remember "Purchase Reinforcement" from freshman marketing? Whether we're willing to admit it or not, we look to ads and ratings after buying increase our level of satisfaction with our purchase (mitigate the effects of buyers remorse).
Did you buy those boots? They're going to stroke your ego a bit and make sure you're good and satisfied with your purchase. Did you buy someone else's boots? What better way to undermine your satisfaction than to remind you of what you could have bought? Did you not buy boots? Obviously, you need to be reminded that you don't have any boots.
Seems to me I look at ratings, reviews, and the product itself to increase satisfaction and prevent buyer's remorse. I don't fucking sit around reading ads after I've bought something disappointing to try to gorge my labia to peak plump.
If marketing "experts" really believe any of the shit they spew, then they're their own victims.
Awhile back I needed to figure out how to spell "Spanx" (the woman's undergarment) for a true story I was typing up about a TSA experience my wife had. I did what I often do and used Google as a spell-checker. For months afterwards, Google insisted on showing me graphical ads displaying women in Spanx. Lesson learned: Google Spell-Check in Incognito Mode!
You should pull over to do any of those things. Running late or being in a hurry never has, and never will be a good excuse to risk causing an accident. To say that it's less dangerous than actions that also involve hands is a poor defense.
Police cars, fire trucks, and ambulances all seem to be excused for driving fast, on the wrong side of the road, blowing through stop signs and traffic signals, etc. on the premise that they're in a hurry.
Its a crap shoot. I just drove a rental this weekend with a touch screen interface. I had my music on USB and I found it quite a bit easier than normal to navigate my music. However, adjusting the freakin air temperature was an adventure.
I once had a rental in Germany and accidentally hit a button. The car kept asking me a question in German and I had no clue what to say or do. Eventually, I hit the right button to stop the inquisition.
You couldn't have swapped in Spain for Germany? No one would have fucking known. What a missed opportunity.
You're correct that "case law" is meaningless bullshit. But you're absolutely wrong about laws being objectively, logically, and deterministically. You're also absolutely wrong about laws that are vague or contradictory. Most laws are vague, contradictory, or both, and they're still in full effect.
Being judged by your peers isn't about their ability to accurately judge, avoid bias, etc. (that's what juror selection, the judge's instructions, sequestration, etc. are for). Being judged by your peers is about NOT being judged by a population of powerful/rich/elite fucks who absolutely have no idea what life is like for the people they are judging.
No matter how many beneficial ingredients/components that beer and other alcoholic beverages may have, the dominant, overriding player will always be the alcohol, which is just fucking terrible for you.
You stop the unsecured flights from coming out. You allow secured flights going into and coming out of secured areas. You then transfer supplies to the workers securing and treating other areas. If containment protocols fail, you update your list of secured areas.
The ONLY ways to stop this shit are to vaccinate (or cure) everyone OR to contain the disease. We have failed to contain the disease, and now the only country in the world capable of doing a damn thing either way (vaccination (or cure) or containment) is infected.
GP is absolutely correct - we should have gone full Madagascar on this shit as soon as the fear and unrest was evident. The areas currently badly hit by this disease are going to take the rest of the world out with them if we don't crack down ASAP.

the implication of the blue LED wasn't just the color, was the frequency of the light.
Congratulations, you're in the lead for today's "Dumbest Fucking Post" award.

How about you cite the laws that say the President "is the law. Literally."?
JUST USE ADBLOCK YoU LaZY MoTHeRFuCKiNG PiSS OFF SHiT
No, just use your fucking hosts file.

It must be so hard to live being scared of your own shadow. What a miserable coward you are.
Says the Anonymous Coward.
It's HARD to get Ebola in a country with modern sanitation systems.
I'd love to see you make that same post 10 days from now when the number of confirmed cases in the US skyrockets.
Not reptiles. Reptilians.
Yes, I use Bing.
These are also the only mammals (or anything for that matter) that have blowholes.
Lawyers and politicians have blowholes, though many of them are Reptilians.

I'm not special, I'm just not dumb enough to believe entanglement that doesn't actually transfer any information isn't teleportation.

1: Post the story.
2: Bing image search spanx.
Seriously.
I am so fucking sick of morons trying to pass of entanglement parlor tricks as full-on, causality-violating teleportation.

Don't forget bees. You ever get a bee in the car when you're driving? There ought to be a law.

And this is why you browse and -1 and pay more attention to AC posts than any other.
Of course there's the alternative, where you can't fire anyone, and you keep incompetent employees forever.
