In theory shouldn't any state change be checked for this interpolate continuity.
Do the sliding weight algo.. overlap N points in X, do both and adjust output as weighted ratio, mathematical discontinuity gone, all derivatives (within resolution of N) will be continuous. I've applied this and a simple 2 node neural-net device to make yes/no reply smooth (in respect to input.)
I've often wondered if this fuzzy logic device had a name.

The answer is Yes, of course those bugs must be hunted down and crushed into pulp and the trail backtracked and the colony attacked.
I agree! No Christmas bonus for Joe the janitor! that will teach 'em for making that error.

You would have a different point of view if you were in the labs that took the risks to check, in hopes of being early publishers. We are talking Post-docs who every minute spent on wasted time is that far behind on the next possible position. Or is your time that valueless that this concept is difficult.
Society and science wins in the end - of course, but like war - there really is no winners when it comes to parent-less or destroyed families.
Let's open our perspective to include the little guys.. cause if you do that, you might find yourself valued in your evaluations, and maybe value others as well.

Damn. This just had me realize the original raw data collected for my most significant publication is gone.

Of course. Your publication should generally stand on it's own, providing enough details in methodology and statistical handling to make the raw data less valuable.

That said, I've felt since the creation of the web that all data generated using public funding should be easily and simply accessed, so that others may evaluate or even expand on your work. Including programs developed (and source code and details of systems used.)

Ideally, we should work towards the kind of open databases that amateur astronomers now have access too.. and continuously adding to the value of the collected data.

Simple:
Jail time - give prosecutor what he would have ask for jail time for student.

Track down at least 5 more people involved in this conspiracy.
One of 5 must be a very significant political person (read Administration/Senator/etc),
and 2 of 5 mid-level manager level conspirators, and 1 of 5 a low-level person (IT person or such.)

Send the message high and low - all will get hurt for this sh-t!

"Must be the terrible air currents around here, better drive it up next time."

Look, let's be a bit sharper and wider about this issue.

I have downloaded many videos based on little more then the title.

My client starts sharing the bits before the download is complete.

How hard would it be to target someone, or to download something misnamed, etc..

With these cases, ask yourself "Could that happen to me or would have at some point" and you start to realize how vulnerable you are to abuse or mistake. And how shitty these laws are at dealing with this.

I imagine having the earth act like a gravity focus, greatly increasing volume of space and velocities that would have missed the moon completely... need to make a few diagrams to get this across well.

I can't see why this would not be pretty obvious.

Of course, I play Kerbel Space Program so have more intuitive feel for these systems.. buy it, learn it, teach it to your children. How else will they dodge space trash?

The actual story is that he did not feel authorized, legally, to provide them to the person requesting it from him.

That password is not something you give out to some person who will then email it in plain text with complete description as to why it is so important - sorta the same reason you don't give a loaded gun to your 5 year old to carry over to your wife in the next room. A loaded gun with safety off.

But clearly it's get-in-line to kick the guy day.. Oh, and gloss over the very complex security issues that we could be discussing here.

Perhaps later in the comments.

NSA has been discovered going through everyone's garbage. When asked to comment, after first deigning repeatably under oath in a least 15 separate recorded incidences of misleading and false statements under oath directly to Congress, Today, Obama said he just learned of the existence of the NSA... "OMG, What a surprise!" Obama was reported as saying when he saw the paper this morning, this despite the fact that Snowdens revelations were a full years ago... A leak through the WH says "If NSA is going through your garbage, it's been reported that in most cases almost all garbage is later returned." .. "Reports Black funding for routine Garbage collection of all Americans will be fully implemented in 2 years, and a reported 82 Trillion dollars a year which the Fed is reportedly supplying huge loans at only 32.26% compounding interest, the first year is expected to whip entire SS reserves.."

I've always wondered why a chem laser system isn't used. Each cartridge would contain the chems.. sure, it would need expensive amo, but it's a start.

But as far as for warfare, I think we should go back to single load non-rifled muskets, knives, and wind power on ocean only for war ships. Make war like it should be - face to face and increatable hardships before you even enter battle. Demand absolute best medical care free of charge for the rest of their lives to anyone injured. On societies tab. I'm talking daily massages if it helps - kind of support and coverage.

Then, make only those who have a personal stake in the specific issue. And conscript women.. if it's important enough to kill off young men but not young women? Why, today, do you feel they need, want, or require special care.. send your daughters off to die when you send your sons.

That will fix it!

Well, then right after morning coffee I can expect to be pestered by this bartending robot.

Beep.. "Time for your drink, and cannabis is recommended.., sir" ...beep.

Doesn't sound healthy to me.

What a fast breeder reactor to multiply fuel supply - fine - I won't mind as long as it's in lunar orbit you assemble and run it. Any place else and I hope there will be non-stop shit storm.

Lets see what happens with the Japanese reactor storage building full of fuel. I expect a small quake will bring the entire thing down, exposing all that fuel to air, burning and carrying super toxic participial all over the Pacific ocean and our west food growing area.

I'm in the process of tracking down a gieger-counter as is. Fear your tuna fish meal!

NSA access all-ready built in?

What a f-ing mess we (USA) always manage to do.

Misled. FU author of published piece. Tell me, if you 12 year old daughter was brutally raped by 3 men would you say her 'date' wasn't all it was hoped to be. Bastards like this that need a tazed to the pants for this BS coverage. Get it through your heads, or fed can not manage this without the support like this.

Skipping over the ridiculousness of victimless drug related crime.

It should be clear to some that there are so many more 'political prisoners' in our jails then any others.

It's time to release all non-violent offenders, and start a large scale removal of judges, prosecutors, etc. Once a decent legal system overhaul is in place, retrials will be required for violent offenders at the least, most likely a good percentage may be released on review of details and interviews.

Time to start thinking of what we are going to do with all these new people back into society.. Parallel this with solar installation and related training, complete with a serious rebuilding our manufacturing cities with a focus on businesses related to improving the state of human existence and justice.

Do I have a witness!
