Is This the Beginning of the End for Medical Research on Chimps? -- Backed by the NIH, a recent decision by the Institute of Medicine on controversial hepatitis C research could change practices in the lab.

The International Labour Organization puts the lower bound at 12.3 million: http://www.ilo.org/global/topics/forced-labour/lang--en/index.htm

This research book places the number at 27M: http://books.google.com/books/about/Disposable_people.html?id=P9ZhnLljWssC

Nonsense. The poor, as a class, are booming.

Thanks. Reddit blacked out moments after I saw I had an orangered.

CLRS is the standard. I don't know of anything else that's in the same league.

Who is not a terrible choice for President?

Santorum and Paul are anti-woman
Gingrich is cartoonishly corrupt
Romney is the very image of corporatism
Perry is his own special breed of ignorant and slimy
Obama does not protect civil liberties

Are there alternatives I'm missing? What do they have to recommend them?

It's not necessarily secure, but it puts white hats on an even playing field with black hats. Closed systems can be leaked or reverse engineered; their source code can't be legitimately audited by any interested party.

It really depends what vulnerabilities you're talking about. SE Linux can't prevent an application from breaking out of a JVM imposed jail, but it can still limit what that JVM has access to, thus limiting the damage of privilege escalation.

I've never been a huge fan of SE Linux; it just ratchets up DAC with finer grained permissions and multilevel security, and just ends up being a huge administrative pain in the ass.

That said, if this allows us to sandbox apps' filesystem access, that'd be handy. The access control on Android is way too all-or-nothing for my taste.

I was going to say, this looks like Cambridge.

True. This does assume that people will prefer cheap to local.

When companies do sell to us near or below cost that benefits our own consumers and our economy generally so we ought to be in favor of it.

As consumers, sure. As a country? Not so sure. One country dumping products on another below the cost of manufacturing destroys local, unsubsidized competition, and prevents it from developing. This depresses the local economy, as you have people out of work, and now you have the problem of the market consisting only of products that you cannot regulate directly, which can put you in a bad situation in terms of safety, quality and environmental impact, for example.

Well, probably the most famous bay is Galway Bay, and Belfast Lough is reasonably well developed, though Ireland has got nothing even remotely like the SF Bay Area.

I imagine so, though that suggests oxygen deprivation. :/ I hope the laughter abates long enough to go back to your default skin color.

SGM works. But FABGLITTER has a certain je ne sais quoi that just tickles me pink.

I think it's fetish.

I do indeed, but the problems of expense of operation and becoming large enough to become nuisances to someone trying to shut you down seem to loom large.

DingoSuavez · 2 months

Oh, yeah. I've just been passing a flask around my floor.

Gortos · 2 months

That seems like it'd be a possibility, but going down this route, I think we will quickly be looking at an organizational system that already exists and is heavily regulated. For example, rather than use omni-directional radio towers, you'll be much more efficient using directional antennas, so you would either need line-of-sight or, more likely, satellite.

Gortos · 2 months

A problem here is that the communication is 2-way, which, unless there's some neat electrical engineering I'm not aware of, means the sending and receiving antennas need to be approximately equally powerful.

It's not?
