Solid memory of Hitler? How old do you think us lower UIDs are? (He died 73 years ago.) Young people should have had relatively the same history education vis-a-vis Hitler, Stalin, and Mao as us old folks. Hitler, Stalin, and Mao are more of the generation of my grandparents, and I have a lower UID than you and joined slashdot as an adult.
In the actual paper, they report precision = 0.79 and recall= 0.95, which means that they predicted nearly all of the attempts (very few false negatives) and most of what they predicted were actual suicide attempts (few false positives). They report the actual numbers, too, but that table is pain to copy and paste.
No mod points today, so just posting to say I appreciated your post. It's good to see things like this with more regularity these days (though still not nearly enough).
I've just gone back to school to work on a PhD. My previous schooling was in the late 90s, before PowerPoint was used regularly in classrooms. This time around, I've had classes with older professors who use the chalkboard and young ones (younger than me) who rely on a presentation. It is vastly easier to follow a proof when it's being written out on the chalk/whiteboard as it's being explained than when it's just sitting on a projection screen being pointed at.
In Germany, people know how to drive. It costs more than $1500 to get your license, which includes many hours of driving lessons and a driver must me 18 or older. It's much more serious business than in the U.S., where you can start driving in some locales when your practically just old enough to see over the steering wheel. American drivers, in general, couldn't handle driving like they were in Germany.
I'm using a similar piece of software to learn German. Anki is actively worked on and regularly updated by the author. You can even write your own plug-ins for it in Python, I believe.
There are summaries? It's more fun to read the title and then skip to the comments to try to figure out what the hell the original article is about in the first place.
It's amazing how many people rely on geo-IP information when it's so unreliable. Denying potential customers use of your services because of tenuous assumptions you're making about them seems like bad business.
We'd use geo-IP data at my old job, but it was just in non-critical, stop-gap places, trying to provide a better experience to users that we knew nothing about. Denying some customers use of our site would have been costly.
If demand is such that people will pay more for it, they'll definitely give in. The airlines aren't exactly loath to add extra charges if they can get away with it.
We used to have quiet cars on the commuter trains around here, but they discontinued them due to the increasing amount of people who were taking the trains. I guess they couldn't spare the space for the non-talkers with the ever-increasing number of talkers on the train. It was a sad day when that happened, and for a long time afterwards, there were nasty looks shot about the formerly-quiet cars as people blabbered into their cell phones.

I don't see where it says "data" in there. As a matter of fact, the previous point in the policy says:

Sounds kind of like Picnik, which provides free basic photo editing and is integrated directly into Flickr. It's pretty handy for doing some tweaks on your photos. Picnik has some advanced, paying-account-required features, though, so maybe Photoshop Express will be better in that regard.
Third-party applications run on third-party servers. They have access to most of your profile information, but aren't allowed to save all but the most basic pieces (user id, network id, etc.) because of the Terms of Service. They aren't supposed to store your friends, even. However, any info that you enter in the app is fair game. For example, if you enter the books you've read in this app, they can store that information.
The question is, do you trust these 3rd party apps to not store your personal info from your profile?
For reference, halfway down this page is a decent list of profile information available to developers.

Wow, two "begs the question" summaries in two days. We did better this time, though.
I'm disappointed in you Slashdot readers. I had to scroll nearly all the way through the comment to find the first "Begs the question" complaint.

While the summary makes it sound like this is some breakthrough idea, there are several similar sites out there:
https://www.sharelatex.com/
http://spandex.io/
And others, I'm sure. Is the submitter the owner of this particular version? The marketing speak is a bit over-the-top.
I used sharelatex for a group project last semester and it worked fine. Several features were added since then that make it likely I'll use it again.

Check out Code Monster: http://www.crunchzilla.com/code-monster
It's a game-like site that teaches javascript programming.
(Look it up. You might find more deaths due to tsunamis, but the frequency of tsunamis has been going down since about 1950.)
Tsunamis are geological, not climatological.

Twitter makes money?
Not sure if you get it where you live, but I've found the National Geographic channel has been pretty good lately.

For those that can't be bothered to cut-and-paste, here are some handy links: Slate article and Pimp My Ride.
You can watch it on C-SPAN yourself, if you're part of the interested public.

Someone did the same with Nickelback (or some other similar crappy band) a few years ago.
Ah-ha! Google found it for me:

If that's the case, what happens when Christmas rolls around?
