... it's the Republican Primary, they dream of finding someone qualified to manage an Arby's.

Why? They've got Herman Cain - he managed a Godfather's Pizza!

And whom I expect to be announcing in 15... 14... 13... Look out, baby, the clown car's getting even more fullerer!

The problem is that, even if the students there at the time are gone and have been replaced by noobs who have no history, the staff and faculty were still there, still remember, and are in charge of the grinding the wheels of justice. People who put out stupid messages should remember that.

What is the average humidity on those 40/20 degree days?

Come visit my home in the Washington DC suburbs, in. say, August. After a week of 90/90 weather (90+ degrees F, 90%+ humidity) you'll be crying for AC too.

Do you count scheme and clojure? If so, that's nine or so...

Better than 14/86? Maybe 20/80? Or is that too much for you?

And rake off a little as it passes by.

A lot of our problems today are the result of people in power fundamentally misunderstanding what Big Data is good for.

We used to assume it was impractical for the Government to keep records of everything we do in the public sphere. Those things have gone from possible to practical to inevitable, mostly due to Moore's Law.

Just because you have everything recorded, doesn't mean it's useful, though. Technologists who should know better talk about searching these records to find the "needle in the haystack", selling the vision of complete records + powerful search tools = Total Awareness.

What they conveniently skip over is:

* All records have inaccuracies
* If the inaccuracy rate is higher than the occurrence rate of what you're searching for, the search is not useful

Consider medical screening tests. If you have a test with a false positive rate of 1 in 1000, it is useless to use such a test to search for a condition that happens to 1 in 1000000 - 999 times out of a thousand, the test will say you're sick when you're fine.

Now, consider:

* The error rate of address OCR

versus

* The rate of secrets being exchanged via US Mail

Anyone in the Government who can't produce an estimate of those two numbers shouldn't be allowed anywhere near those records - it would be like giving a child a loaded gun, or a politician a Twitter account.

The answer is always bitches.

You mean besides chasing cars?

Oh, I thought you were talking about dog archaeologists, not human archaeologists who study dogs.

At least dog archaeologists would know where all the bones were buried...

Most men and women enjoy mixing, as it happens.

Not when we're between 6 and 11 or so we don't! That's the age when girls have cooties!

WARNING!!! If you are a boy in this age range, you must stay away from these creatures during this time period or you could get cooties, too!

Damn, I didn't know people were so uneducated in serious medical matters like these. Stay safe, citizens!

Do you have any argument to show that the same thing would happen now?

Simply that human nature doesn't change that quickly and the separate facilities will soon be funded inequitably because of that. Show me any time in the past where that hasn't happened instead. I should think the paucity of examples where schools were funded equitably despite race and the huge number of examples where people still act like asshats because of it would convince you.

You think you're funny? Laugh it up. An age? Simple subtraction, right? Not quite...

Start with kids under an arbitrary cutoff limit (often customizable by HC org, department, and/or provider whose ages need to be given in months. Then you get bitching from neonatologists who want the age of kids under some other arbitrary limits to be displayed in days. This is for a relatively simple concept.

Now, multiply the whole thing by about 25,000 concepts (many more complex than "age"), riddle the whole thing with massive amounts of subjective judgement, toss in prima dona providers, constantly changing governmental regulations, constantly changing clinical standards, constantly changing knowledge and technology, and you can start to see how stupid your comment about age starts to look. It's a difficult domain to program for - try it sometime and see.

If you're crazy enough to think that the email thing was anything at all, you're deluded enough to be a Republican and so I don't think HRC wants your vote. Go ahead and vote for your crazy.

Well, that's really sort of the definition of fixed here, isn't it? You do nothing with the DDoS traffic while responding as normal to the regular traffic.
