Netflix’ Icarus had me on the edge of my seat. Details the Russian doping scandal.

Surprised that CIFAR wasn’t mentioned under Images. I feel like that’s one of the standards, even more so than some of the ones that are listed.

I'm a disabled student, not blind, but I work extensively with my university's Student Disability Center. For a blind student, common accommodations are extra time on the exam and a scribe to note the answers down.

Yep, I experience the same issue on a 2015 13" MBP. Appears to be an issue w/ FF and OS X scaled resolutions (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?format=default&id=...)

I tried Firefox on OS X but it maxes my CPU frequently, doing simple tasks like scrolling or loading small gifs on Reddit, slowing my system down significantly. I noticed my fans spinning much more frequently than Chrome. It appears to be linked to using scaled resolutions [0]. Until this is fixed, Chrome is significantly faster for me, which is disappointing because I like everything else about FF.

Is there any way to make the standalone Messenger open in the FB Container? The way I see it, the two are intrinsically linked since using Messenger requires an FB login.

Edit: After playing around, this also breaks the back button. If anyone from Mozilla is here, I think it would be better if an FB page opened in a new tab while keeping the original open.

There's an excellent Numberphile on this topic, most of the papers in the post are mentioned in the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QvvkJT8myeI

This is really incredible. I'm a quadriplegic student and you don't really see people in my position in tech, and definitely not in executive roles so this means a lot in terms of proving it's possible.

A quick Google search tells me the closest Cal State to me, Sacramento, has a 67.3% acceptance rate. Slightly higher than the national average of 64.7%, although I'm not sure how trustworthy those numbers are.

At my university, most of the profs that teach our entry level programming courses use MOSS. One prof I had said that it's really good at detecting plagiarism and he automatically refers any infractions to SJA.

I always work alone so I've never been caught, but looking at the grade sheets, it seemed like almost 25% of the students were referred every assignment. I can understand the desire to catch cheaters because as I've progressed into my more advanced classes there's always a few students that really shouldn't be there because they didn't learn anything in the prereq classes.

  We will publish additional analysis related to respondents’ disability status in the coming weeks.

As a student with a severely limiting physical disability, I'm looking forward to this. I'm really interested to see what roles those in my position are in.
