Ka-band? More like Ka-boom!

Sorry. I'll let myself out.

Solid memory of Hitler? How old do you think us lower UIDs are? (He died 73 years ago.) Young people should have had relatively the same history education vis-a-vis Hitler, Stalin, and Mao as us old folks. Hitler, Stalin, and Mao are more of the generation of my grandparents, and I have a lower UID than you and joined slashdot as an adult.

In the actual paper, they report precision = 0.79 and recall= 0.95, which means that they predicted nearly all of the attempts (very few false negatives) and most of what they predicted were actual suicide attempts (few false positives). They report the actual numbers, too, but that table is pain to copy and paste.

Wow, two "begs the question" summaries in two days. We did better this time, though.

I'm disappointed in you Slashdot readers. I had to scroll nearly all the way through the comment to find the first "Begs the question" complaint.

No mod points today, so just posting to say I appreciated your post. It's good to see things like this with more regularity these days (though still not nearly enough).

While the summary makes it sound like this is some breakthrough idea, there are several similar sites out there:

http://spandex.io/

And others, I'm sure. Is the submitter the owner of this particular version? The marketing speak is a bit over-the-top.

I used sharelatex for a group project last semester and it worked fine. Several features were added since then that make it likely I'll use it again.

I've just gone back to school to work on a PhD. My previous schooling was in the late 90s, before PowerPoint was used regularly in classrooms. This time around, I've had classes with older professors who use the chalkboard and young ones (younger than me) who rely on a presentation. It is vastly easier to follow a proof when it's being written out on the chalk/whiteboard as it's being explained than when it's just sitting on a projection screen being pointed at.

Check out Code Monster: http://www.crunchzilla.com/code-monster

It's a game-like site that teaches javascript programming.

Tsunamis are geological, not climatological.

In Germany, people know how to drive. It costs more than $1500 to get your license, which includes many hours of driving lessons and a driver must me 18 or older. It's much more serious business than in the U.S., where you can start driving in some locales when your practically just old enough to see over the steering wheel. American drivers, in general, couldn't handle driving like they were in Germany.

Twitter makes money?

Not sure if you get it where you live, but I've found the National Geographic channel has been pretty good lately.
