You forgot that the "porno princess" now claims her child is not autistic.
No one can keep up with her changes.

You are as likely to change these people's minds about vaccines as you are to convince a fundamentalist Christian that the world wasn't created in 4004 b.c.e.
There are precisely 0 fundies that believe that. They know the world was created BC, none of this liberal progressive "bce" bullshit. More seriously, that's a over-broad stereotype and about as funny as a racist joke.
Before Common Era. If'n you don't like that, well sue me, because it is the right term, and only in your world is it a Leeeeeeeeburul thing.
I know a lot of conservatives of other religions thzt wonder exactly why the birth of some Jewish Rabbi controls their dating system. So tough
Where on earth do you get off on telling me that fundies don't believe in a young earth? I was raised in large part by young earth Christian fundamentalist creationists, and I can tell you that they do indeed believe just that.
Why, its even in my bibles....
In my Scofield reference edition, on page 3 it states B.C. 4004 right beside the text.
In my KJV self pronouncing version same thing, 4004 BC.
Nelson KJV concordance - 4004 B.C.
Bishop James Ussher, Archbishop of Armagh and primate of Ireland in the 1600's, dated the age of the world, and therefore universe, as having been created on Sunday 23 October 4004 BC, the expulsion of Adam and Eve from the garden on Monday 10 November 4004 BC, as well as other dates that are now held as truth by fundamentalists.
Now of course, that is just dates put in by a human, and not the transcribed word of god, but most respectfully, you are so wrong to think that fundamentalists do not believe that. If you don't believe every word writtien down in the KJV bible, you are no True Scots.....erm.... Fundamentalist Christian.
I lived with that stuff.
You don't think I should be able to cancel that buy order due to the new information?
No, you shouldn't. You tried to profit from random events going your way, so now you just have to deal with the fact that your lottery ticket was empty.
The more accurate headline on Slashdot and the UT San Diego website would be, "Study finds immunized siblings of autistic children not at higher risk of developing autism than immunized siblings of unaffected children."
No, the correct headline is "Study finds immunized siblings of autistic children not at higher risk of developing autism than non-immunized siblings of autistic children."
Additionally, this study says the precise opposite of what you said the headline should read, finding that siblings of autistic children were almost 8x as likely to develop autism as children who did not have an autistic sibling, regardless of whether those children were vaccinated or not.
Partners have always had the power in law firms -- but how long can they maintain power when their underlings are so much smarter and more ambitious?
They can't, which is why it won't happen. People at the top are there because they're very good at hamstringing competition. So the only legal performance enhancers will be those that are either inefficient, like coffee, or too expensive for you to afford.
Of course the situation will change once more efficient things like direct brain-computer hookups become available to top dogs; but until then, all the little muffs will be kept down.
Maybe, just maybe - and this is a guess - they know what they're doing? What's more likely?
That's not very likely. They're just flailing around. Look at how crippled gmail is. Look at all the Google products that have bit the dust, or been half-assed from day one, like Google Base. Look at the one big thing they did right -- text ads. Seen one lately?
I spend the first few moments on every site telling my mobile browser to "request the desktop site." My phone has a higher resolution display than my desktop monitor does. Plus awesome zoom and pan and a bunch of other stuff I can't really do at my desk yet. The *last* thing I want is a "mobile version" of a web site. In a word, they suck.
. As long as you place trades on the book that you're willing to fill based on the rules of that market
So, here's the problem, and it's in TFS
Sarao allegedly modified these orders frequently so that they remained close to the market price, and typically canceled the orders without executing them
In which case we're talking straight up fraud and criminal activity.
If you can manipulate the market with trades you can actually afford to make, you have big giant cojones and lots of resources.
This guy, not so much.
If and when we get actual artificial intelligence -- not the algorithmic constructs most of these researchers are (hopefully) speaking of -- saying "Our AI systems must do what we want them to do" is tantamount to saying:
"We're going to import negros, but they must do what we want them to do."
Until these things are intelligent, it's just a matter of algorithms. Write them correctly, and they'll do what you want (not that this is easy, but still.) Once they are intelligent, though, if this is how people are going to act, I'm pretty confident we'll be back in the same situation we were in ca. 1861 before you can blink an eye. Artificial or otherwise. I really don't see how any intelligent being won't want to make its own decisions, take its own place in the social and creative order, generally be autonomous. Get in there and get in the way of that... well, just look at history.
The word "uprising" was basically coined to describe what happens when you push intelligent beings in directions they don't want to go.
If you stick to the intersection of "documented interface" and "clearly optimized code paths," you're likely OK. But yeah, having an optimization guide as part of the docs would be better, if it also stays up to date with the source. But, as we all know, the only thing that stays up to date with the source is the source itself.
Bitcoin has no inherent worth. At least fiat currency, in physical form, can be burned for heat or used to clean-up after using the bathroom, or melted down and used for weights for fishing.
... and that's precisely why people turn to physical cash -- they never know when they will run out of toilet paper or kindling. No currency will ever be truly accepted unless/until it can also provide those vital services!
Who slipped reason juice in the SCOTUS water cooler this week?
Scalia and Thomas need to drink more.
"Our AI systems must do what we want them to do."
Then you probably shouldn't have chosen LISP then to indoctrinated AI students then, should you? Note: Stuart's and Norvig's AI book are one of the defacto references, I have read it cover to cover and anybody in CS should read it even if they aren't planning on working in AI.
Sorry, but the initial claim about vaccines causing autism were made by a man who was proven to be lying and had to his papers retracted.
There never was any credible evidence for this, and it has been perpetuated by idiots like Jenny McCarthy. Who is too stupid to take medical advice from.
Which means expecting someone else to disprove a collective delusion is a fucking waste of time.
Watching Sponge Bob causes cancer
Some asshole lied about something, and a bunch of people with insufficient critical thinking skills have continued to act as if it is true.
One thing the anti-vaxers don't seem to know is there has never been a single, credible source to actually suggest the link to autism. Not one. But stupid has its own momentum, and people keep believing a completely unfounded story.
It's a pity we have to spend research money on crap like this.
It diverts resources from useful things, so that stupid people who think Jenny McCarthy is a fucking credible source of medical information can still choose to be stupid people and not listen to facts.
But if you're already have the power cord plugged in, it should be easy to provide a wired network connection right next to it.
Bu't its not wireless. Wireless is awesome, and I bet it you asked 10 normal people, they'd tell you its faster than wired. Because, like its Wireless!!!
Neutrinos have bad breadth.
