I wasn't familiar with the specifics so I found this Wiki page. Apparently P visas are a general category for athletes, entertainers and their families who either represent something culturally unique, are part of an exchange program, or are internationally recognized (the main kind, P-1).
According the LA Times article linked in the Wiki page, programers have received P1-A visas specifically - the same subcategory as for any athlete.
More like an API implementation than reverse engineering. All he did was use telnet to send plaintext commands like 'help' and 'clone' and pipe the output to files. The names of the commands were taken from the output of 'help' or the kernel mailing list.
as long as their governments (and the governments of the countries they will visit) recognize them as sports
And many people are probably unaware that the United States does recognize eSports, and there are at least a few dozen progamers living in the United States on athlete visas.
For Starcraft in particular there is also a very apt comparison to chess, which is usually taken seriously and has at times been considered a sport. Of course, unlike chess, in SC it matters how well you can move the pieces. SC also has more strategic depth and a virtually infinite number of possible unique games.
I actually found my chess had improved considerably just from moving up to Gold in SC2.
More than "some." Think chess, but with about 100 times as much strategic depth, an infinite number of possible unique games and it matters how well you can move the pieces.
30% is just about the average in the Western world - nothing special about this particular group in this regard. It's a severely under appreciated problem when you consider the immense cost in DALY or YLD.
World Health Organization (WHO) states that depression is the leading cause of disability as measured by Years Lived with Disability (YLDs) and the fourth leading contributor to the global burden of disease.
A Fair Use exception will allow them (if they choose) to effectively exclude APIs without threatening to upturn industry expectations generally.
Unfortunately, fair use claims are judged on a case-by-case basis. Even if Google prevails on this issue, API implementation will be too risky for individual programmers or small companies to undertake.
He's referring to the 9 lines of array bounds checking code that was "copied" (boilerplate code copy-pasted by the same programmer who wrote it originally).
Try changing interrupt frequency to 1000 Hz. It's the default in Ubuntu, but IIRC Debian at least still has a default of 100 or 250 Hz. Not sure about other distros.

Sure, the Wikipedia article provides an adequate discussion of fructose metabolism.
I kinda always thought that all sugars are metabolized by 'normalizing' them to glucose and fructose. In case of sucrose it involves hydrolysis of one weak chemical bond, that produces glucose and fructose. HFCS simply skips that step.
More or less, although it's a bit more complicated due to how sugar molecules are transported in different cell types (as discussed in the above link). However, most commercial HFCS compositions have more fructose than glucose, which can lead to excess Krebs cycle intermediates that are in turn directed to fatty acid metabolism (via acetyl-CoA).

Everyone knows at this point that our problem isn't with fats, it's with carbs.
Unfortunately, when it comes to nutrition, "everyone" has fallen for a mixture of quackery and old wives' tales. Case in point: your conflation of simple sugars and complex carbohydrates, which ignores the excessive animal protein and extraordinary dearth of fiber currently consumed in Western diets.

Table sugar is 100% sucrose, a disaccharide consisting of one glucose and one fructose molecule covalently bound together. HFCS is a mixture of glucose and fructose as monosaccharides (individual sugar molecules). Multiple HFCS compositions exist commercially.
"...probably won't," concluded Pandell...Science was wrong.
What a dumb remark. The prediction, that the Triple Crown is an unlikely event, is correct. That this outcome happened to occur in our timeline is neither here nor there.
Using BarTab Heavy and the other BarTab addons to load and unload tabs in the background makes a huge difference to performance. So does using uBlock Origin instead of ABP. (And NoScript of course).
I think they mean terrorist NGOs like ISIS that aren't "foreign powers?" Or maybe it's for general FISA Court-approved warrants with no link to terror?
It's an interesting topic. What are we? Are we our physical bodies? Are we the information that we've associated? Are we souls/spirits within a shell?
I think so too, but I also think that at this point there is overwhelming evidence that we are our physical bodies - our whole organism - and zero evidence for any rival proposition.
Personally, I don't feel like my physical body (fond of it though I am) is "me." If I woke up tomorrow in a different form, I would still be the core person that I am.
That's really just a guess, best. It appears highly likely that the "core person that you are" is your form. To put it another way, the statement "if I woke up a different person, I would still be the same person" is merely contradictory.
But I'm weird like that, in that my identity exists independent of it. I don't think that's the case for most people.
Again - this is hard to read as anything other than assertion, in this case motivated by feelings of apparent superiority over other people. (I don't mean to insult you at all, but to me the way that statement is written sounds like bluster).
Thanks. They also are almost always limited to fixed-size inputs (like most other machine learning methods). Convolutional networks get past it somewhat, but only via tiling which is sort of a hack IMHO.

The fusion is used to generate electricity. It still uses a turbine.
Did you read the linked article? Those people were openly fantasizing about extrajudicial assassination on the streets of Moscow.

No, that's exactly the interest of his example.
Yup, thanks.
given it was a (member of) the Samba development team
Eunuchswear's reply hit the nail on the head.
reversed engineered the protocol.

Heatmaps of kills (killer location), deaths, assists, cap points
Not just for commentary - data like that can be really helpful for mapmakers and balance teams.

Second, as to the amount of skill required...
For Starcraft in particular there is also a very apt comparison to chess, which is usually taken seriously and has at times been considered a sport. Of course, unlike chess, in SC it matters how well you can move the pieces. SC also has more strategic depth and a virtually infinite number of possible unique games.
I actually found my chess had improved considerably just from moving up to Gold in SC2.
Whilst I'll give you some skill is involved
More than "some." Think chess, but with about 100 times as much strategic depth, an infinite number of possible unique games and it matters how well you can move the pieces.
Bitkeeper was also available for free
Only to kernel developers.
make that just happen by breaking the rules
You can't break a license agreement to which you aren't a party. If your opinion was widespread, Samba wouldn't exist.
specifically they reverse-engineered the Bitkeeper protocol
I'm sure typing 'help' at the telnet prompt was a real strain on Tridge's gray cells.

And to anybody who has.
Only the ones for whom a range check is the peak of skill.

Indeed, fructose is primarily metabolized in the liver.
