Of course not. Charles Babbage was a man, and this article is in the NYT.
It doesn't take a genius to figure out that this is yet another of those SJW articles that take extensive artistic freedom with history to paint women as "omg best ever but so oppressed". It even says "True Word Processor" in the title because if it had just said "Word Processor" it would be too obvious a lie.
As always, one has to wonder what these "journalists" *actually* think about women if they have to lie and re-write history to make them competitive in their own eyes...
No, symptomatic. Meta-static is the "last" stage of a cancer, where it starts spreading from the original point to other tissues. For instance, you might develop a cancer tumour in your lungs. This will take some time, and you will develop multiple symptoms during this time. After the tumour has progressed past the "fatal" stage it might metastasize, which will cause a tumour to develop in your colon. This "post-fatal" stage is pretty much 100% sure to kill you. What OP was saying was that there are many markers before you reach this stage in pretty much every cancer.
There's lots of cancer cures now, cancer is no longer the absolute death sentence it once was. Heart disease? Just ask Dick Cheney if they can fix it.... yeh they can. You blamed immigrants bringing "untreatable contagious conditions". What disease exactly? "heart disease"?? "Suicide"?
Do you know anything about cancer? It is absolutely a death sentence. While we have successfully reduced for instance cervical cancer incidence drastically by effective screening measures in certain demographics (and the HPV vaccinations are starting to show effects in the incidence rates), most cancers are deadly, and the top 3 (lung, breast, prostate) have probably killed someone in your family. A successful operation, even at Stage 1A does in no way guarantee a return to the standard life expectancy. A quick look at the Kaplan-Meier for most cancers will tell you that death within 5 years is greatly elevated. Lung, breast, and prostate, cancers (the most common) are incredibly dangerous, and the treatments for the various forms of these are themselves deadly enough to reduce a person's lifespan by many years. If you get adult leukemia (AML), you will enjoy not only an incredibly invasive treatment, but the survival rate is below 20% at 72 months. For pancreas, it's even worse at around 10% after 60 months. Should you get a glioblastoma, good luck, because less than 5% of patients survive more than 60 months.
With that said, the most common cancers are highly dependent on age. The older the population grows, the more likely carcinogenesis becomes. So when the life expectancy goes down, cancer rates drop as a likely cause of death.
It's strange that you would mention heart disease as something that "can be fixed" as cardio- and angio- vascular diseases are the top cause of death in an older, or especially obese, population. This category encompasses far more than that one thing Dick Cheney suffered from.
Immigrants, by which I assume you mean poor people from third world countries, are not likely to die from cancer since life expectancy in these groups generally fall below the numbers needed for cancer to become a likely cause of death. Instead they suffer from increased risk for cardiovascular disease as a result of poor diet (Mexico for instance has the highest obesity rate in the world, and India suffers greatly from cholesterol-related diseases due to the high rate of coconut fat used there). They also tend to carry increased risk from a life of bacterial and viral infections that take an overall toll on the body's immune system and repair functions.
Healthcare is the *last* resort for these types of diseases, and while it does help, it is far better suited to dealing with other diseases and situations. A healthy and active lifestyle is the best way to protect yourself.
By burying them underground, the climate conscious trees can more easily start a grass roots movement to affect real change. Just look at how well it worked for Bernie Sanders!
I can't say I was ever interested in Stan Lee's creations, but the man did save more lives than any doctor I know of. I have countless nerd friends who found refuge in his creations, finding a reason to enjoy the written word and a good role model when the world around wasn't kind or welcoming. I know that several of my friends would not have made it through a rough puberty without his comics. He prevented many school shootings and suicides.
Stan Lee was one person that left the world a better place than he found it. And that is a quality that brings our entire society forward.
The longest time taken by a lawyer to complete the test was 156 minutes, and the shortest time was 51 minutes.
Was time used as a measurement, i.e. were the lawyers told to work as fast as they could? Cause that would likely affect the diligence put into the review.
We already know that computers are faster at processing data. We also know that stressing the crap out of people tend to make them work faster but with less precision. Adding such an element to the human input would bias the result while providing no additional information of value.
Because I may have my reservations about excessive political correctness, but honestly, I absolutely do not want to be seen as being in the same camp as the low-life scum on the internet that think it's OK to be a white nationalist Nazi
In other words he decided that he couldn't sit on the fence any more, because doing and saying nothing was effectively the 4chan option where anything goes, and it's fine to be a Nazi. He is not saying he is worried about being called a Nazi, he is saying that he doesn't want to give the impression that anything goes behaviour and content-wise on official Linux channels.
And this is your brain on SJW. Kids, don't do SJW, not even once.
a space show from Battlestar Galactica's Ron Moore
From TFA, I don't care about anything other than this part. There just aren't enough space shows around these days, and I loved the new BSG. If they can set the tone of BSG season 1 I will watch it til the end of days.
I just hope they don't get lost in pointless side-stories without purpose that never wrap up like BSG eventually did.
As for the rest, I don't/. is the intended audience for Reese Witherspoon or Dr. Dre, but Asimov's Foundation has me mildly optimistic.
Nearly 85% of the district had ended up with a new start time, and "In the end, the school start time quandary was more political than technical... This was a fundamentally human conflict, and all the computing power in the world couldn't solve it."
No, it wasn't 'political'. The algorithm successfully computed an optimal schedule for the students with regards to bus transport, but did not include any data at all about the optimal schedule for the parents. If they wanted to find the optimums, they should have included the whole system and not just the least impactful part. The parents schedules are the most important ones since they are responsible for making it all happen; from breakfast to dinner to bedtime.
I see this all the time. Brilliant programmers and mathematicians that think they can just throw the data into an algorithm and get an answer without understanding the data itself or how to interpret it medically/biologically.
Science Magazine applauds the experiments for "obliterating our common sense notion of before and after and, potentially, muddying the concept of causality.
If anything I'd say a big "Duck you" was in order for guaranteeing that no non-physicist will ever understand quantum physics ever again.... But on the other hand, it might get me out of the dog house for getting drunk and breaking the living room table...
I'm guessing chairman Pao would be much happier with the Chinese model. They do after all censor all the social media for "positive impact" and "protecting a small subset of users".
It must be difficult to be so smart that you feel a responsibility of governing the lives of every human being on the planet.
We should have military dominance of the deep sea as well. I mean almost NO one can go there. We need to establish a base on the moon and a colony on mars for 'security'. After all, all that nothing is a real threat.
I can tell you've never been married.
Nothing scares me more than when the wife says "It's nothing".
If you want to help, build a school for the unusually gifted. Take those out of regular schools where the pace is low and put them together so they can push each other to greatness.
Of those that have a higher probability of failing, only a certain percent are failing because of the school itself. Many will be failing due to the situation at home, or simply because they don't have the mental faculties to comprehend. Those that show up will have a wide variety of different needs (some may be physically handicapped, some may be mentally handicapped, some may need therapy or counseling), and trying to put them all in one place is sure to cause further problems. If it's "low-income" students, putting them all together is sure to cause problems with violence, drugs, and bad behavior.
If you want low-income students to excel, put one or two in classes with mid to high income students so they get inundated with a better culture and attitude instead, that will do far more good.
Every now and then I run NP computations overnight on my system when my compute servers are full. I can't save those. And I shouldn't have to (barring BSOD, power cables etc). Update on turning the system off with an option to skip that step if I'm in a hurry (getting ready for a long trip or otherwise needing to disconnect the pc) has always worked.
Why change a user-friendly method that works fine and doesn't piss off your customer-base?
A lie is a lie, whether you're a legitimate refugee or not. All people, not only refugees, have personal responsibility for their own actions, and lying on your application could most certainly be a valid cause for deportation.
The data from Norway and Sweden indicate that at least 50% of "underage" refugees lie about their age (Norway estimate 50%+ with their more rigorous testing methods, Sweden estimates 66%+ by post-acceptance checks). Should lying about your age not be a valid reason for deportations?
The VAT was implemented long before the open purchase clause. Hence it is not quite possible that it was the internet buying that caused the increased prices unless "them" stupid Europeans have a time machine or two stashed away somewhere.

Asking for nude photos to prevent nude photos from being posted is the second most audacious demand on the internet recently.
The first one was when incels and Jordan Peterson demanded that women have sex with them to prevent mass murders.
Did it work? ...Asking for a friend.
Yeah but what if one of the scientists was wearing a sexist shirt?
Would you like some more tinfoil with that?
Thank God for you AC, no one in Europe ever thought of those things, because everyone else on the planet is a moron.
