Every day I'm more and more glad that I have never had an account, and never will.
I'm in the same boat, but I'm not deluding myself by thinking that Facebook doesn't have a shadow account for me -- this has been confirmed to have been done in the past. Facebook is probably aware that I exist, and they obtain some benefit from being able to identify me in photos or posts (for example) and tracking my actions.
The one I had written in 2003 would randomly change table margins when I add or select something. I mean freaking random where the only experience close is like designing a website in IE 6 where you do one thing and all the elements freak out and go apeshit.
So what makes you think this will look the same on the computers of all those people with Office who view your CV?
I'm okay with this as long as it is restricted to line-of-sight, in other words via LED or similar light transmission. That also removes some confusion issues, because if a car communicates "I'm stopping now", you know it's the car that you can see rather than the car 1km behind you that was hit by a stray radio amplification patch.
Two different results from the same data points. Have I misunderstood something?
I believe it should be mean absolute deviation from the mean, rather than from the next value in the list (this wasn't particularly clear in the summary or the article). So you have three numbers, mean = (1 + 2 + 10) / 3 ~= 4.3333, MAD ~= (3.333 + 2.333 + 5.666) / 3 ~= 3.778
There's another MAD, the median absolute deviation from the median, so you have for this data set median = 2, MAD = median(1, 0, 8) = 1.
Well, it's not like you're being steamrolled into accepting this as an input device. With an open platform, you should be free to use whatever input device you want.
Always introduce them to free software before the switch to Linux. It's far too much of a change to do both at the same time, and they'll reject the change entirely. Once they get used to free software on Windows, they can use the same things in the same way on Linux.
That's a strong assumption that the upper bound is the math. We haven't seen the rest of Snowden's documents.
I think one of the points in saying this is what it leads to. If the upper bound is the mathematics, and the mathematics is weak (e.g. triple ROT13), then you can't get any more security than that. Well, you sort of can, but that's security through obscurity, or security theatre, which is a fairly weak stance to take.
What iconography would you suggest replace the floppy disk for save? The down arrow and some bits? No, That's download.
Please explain how "download" is different from "save" from a naive computer user's point of view. In both cases, you have an object somewhere that can be considered transient / temporary, and you hope that by carrying out the operation you're transferring it to a more permanent storage medium.
Would someone please explain what happens to BitCoins whose owners die without passing on their wallets to successors?
Until someone can work out what the password / key is, the bitcoins will be unable to be used by anyone else -- the value of the remaining bitcoins will probably increase. If someone *is* able to work out what that password / key is, then the value of all bitcoins will drop.
You can make someone scared, uncertain and doubtful about your sanity by stating that they've got thousands of little hairs that they can't see on their face, and you enjoy cutting hairs that are very close to the skin using a razor blade. And then mention there might be a little blood involved, but you're game to give it a try.
My point is, it's perfectly possible to generate FUD by bending the truth (otherwise known by salespeople as "stating FACTs").
I'd be interested in using this as an input device on a desktop computer. If you configure the circular pads to act like the rubber nipples, with something like a logarithmic transform to increase precision for centre movement and increase travel speed for the edges, then I can picture this being more useful than a mouse. Couple that with multi-pointer manipulation, and you get your usual pinch / zoom / rotate movements that are becoming more common as a "everyone knows how to do it" input method.
I don't know what those guys are doing to the tobacco in manufactured smokes, but it's something evil.
Current research (done by someone I was in biomedical science classes with) suggests that monoamine oxidase inhibitors may have a role in the increased addiction of cigarettes over plain tobacco -- although that article in particular suggests people using roll-your-own tobacco may have a harder time quitting.
On KS projects, your donation is more of a pledge, which only goes through if the target is made by the end-date of the project.
Indiegogo allows you to set up "flexible funding" (not used for the Edge case) where all donated money goes to the project even if it doesn't reach its funding goal.
Saarland University developed a reconfigurable camera add-on, the kaleidocam which can do 3D as well as many other things. It allows you to take a single picture that is split by the device into multiple images that appear on the sensor as an array of smaller images. Possible functions include:
Multi-spectral imaging (including simulation of different white points and source lighting)
Light field imaging (3D, focal length change, depth of field change)
Polarised imaging (e.g. glass stress, pictures of smoke in natural light)
Of course, this requires a single shot using a fancy lens, whereas the Harvard technique needs two frames but "no unusual hardware or fancy lenses".
Ah yes, the good old cat and mouse game of copyright law, making enemies of consumers. Would this mean multicast streaming is also illegal, even if you're not aware if anyone is watching? Presumably yes, but I'm sure if it is, something else will be found that skirts the law.
The testing probes are designed to bind with a sequence of DNA that is suspected of having a mutation.... The probe is engineered to emit a fluorescent glow if there’s a perfect match between it and the target.
So it's a highly specific FISH? Or maybe something similar to SOLiD's NGS sequencing process?
Of all the adults out there with Downs Syndrome, how many of them go on to get married and have children?
People with classical Downs syndrome (trisomy 21, the most common, and the one discussed here) are sterile -- they can't have children. One reason is that it's just too difficult to recombine and split three chromosomes two ways during meiosis.
It is possible that someone with a partial syndrome could be fertile (i.e. a duplication of some portion of chromosome 21), but I don't recall any cases of this when it was discussed in lectures.
Of course. Pat Buchanan talked about this recently at NetHui in New Zealand:
Terrorism is a fig leaf placed on the intelligence business to justify what they do. Terrorism is not the bulk of what intelligence agencies do. The bulk of what they do (to include the GCSB) is traditional state-to-state espionage, Increasingly cyber in manifestation. But 90% of what intelligence agencies do, in this country and elsewhere, is spy on other states (perhaps spy on commercial entities connected to a state). But terrorism is the buzzword that western intelligence agencies use to justify all sorts of sins.
Video link here, which also explains how the GCSB gets around not being able to spy on NZ citizens via contracting their staff out to other agencies. Also, 80-90% of intelligence is gathered from freely available sources (e.g. facebook, twitter), so terrorism is a 10% of 10% sort of thing in terms of surveillance laws.
An RNASeq run, either targeted to the ribosome or total (given that rRNA takes the lion's share) is a little bit quicker than culture, as long as the bioinformatics side of it is appropriately set up (e.g. massively parallel mapping, and automated count summarisation).
Sample preparation will take a few hours, and there are sequencers that will get results out in a few hours -- the mythical Oxford nanopore sequencers will speed both of these things up as well.

Hmm, I wonder if this explains the false positive results I got when trying to find genetic markers for T1D risk (chapter 5 of my thesis).
It's not FUD if it's true, it's simply FACT

there are million dollar companies that can detect it faster and even better than your OSS bullshit half assed script for free
The NSA, for example. Use a US server as your email service provider, and you get filtering for free!
