Whose tribunal? Who delegates that power? Who enforces those decisions?

Don't play the fool - this is heinous, totalitarian fascism, at its finest. The TPP represents a far greater thread to modern civilized society than, for example, the ISIS/Daesh 'threat'. These treaties - which must be fought on a regular basis - are being pushed onto the world by ideologues and extremists whose fundamental desire is the suppression of us all.

Fight this, at all costs. Or watch your children grow in a society far more degraded than the one you live in, and enjoy, today. This is not a pro-survival proposition; it is absolutely the end of civilization as we know it.
I looked through some of the questions. Simple things like being able to read a chart or to calculate an interest rate. How would this not have any bearing on productivity?
Oh yeah? Well American Millennials are by far the world's most educated and knowledgeable about anthropology, sociology, race and gender studies, psychology, social media activism (aka, changing your Facebook default pic to #KONY2012), beer pong, how to find a good deal on Etsy, et al. When would we ever need to use that math stuff when uploading selfies, binging on Netflix, or ordering pour over coffee?
There are paint-by-number programs and then there is Paint-By-Number with real paint. There are software engineers and programmers and there are people who just type in code while following a tutorial (or even just download the sample code and hit build). Everything beyond this from-zero point is extraordinarily complex.

Does a painting composed of a single stroke lack something to be art? What if that painting was done and redone a hundred times? What if the artist's assistant did it at their direction? Does it matter if the artist crafted the brush themselves by carving a fine branch, procuring their own glue and sable, and putting the thing together? Or if instead they bought 10 brushes and 10 sketchbooks in pursuit of an idea? Is the "end product" more or less legitimate because the artist had a clear vision of what they wanted at the start versus having only a vague direction and experimenting until they were satisfied?
I played Tales of Monkey Islands (the multi-part final game in the series). I was done in a proper 3d-rendered worls, and unlike some other games, survived the transition from 2d to 3d extremely well, it is probably my favorite in the series (after MI2).
To load the framework (application) with the logic with the concern of deciding what resources it wants. The scheduler shouldn't care about what you get, just fairness. Two-tiered scheduling achieves this:

Mesos decides how many resources to offer each framework, while frameworks decide which resources to accept and which
computations to run on them.

>That's a pretty massive blanket statement to apply to a whole field of art.

It depends who you ask. Those who were raised on oil-and-blood based artworks, or those for whom Pixar represents the highest realms to which an Artist may aspire.

Never forget, your opinion is going to be invalid once the youth graduate/take over. Your time is limited by those who grant you relevance in the world: the kids.
Trump probably burned approximately the amount of time he bought by shutting down flights too and from China before everyone else.
Yeah, exactly. With the current numbers where only a handful people are tested, it is really hard to see what is going on.
Another modern (but still technical) treatment is Light on Pranayama by B.K.S. Iyengar.
It helps to oxygenate your body, which is (I'm guessing) pretty helpful if you're infected and are ever short of breath.

Also these are generally exercises one can do at home.
When I saw the title I thought it was something else. At a previous company we had a nice url: mooreds.example.com

which would redirect to a standing zoom url. Made for a nice way to easily start a video conversation.
I'm not saying it really matters, but the PHP just looks ugly to me. I think it's all the dollar signs and braces.
Is that really a good comparison?

The PHP code you linked to is basically a class with a bunch of getters and setters.

The Python code, on the other hand, handles numerous real-world HTTP requests that do actual work.

So it's not unexpected that the PHP code is lighter; it doesn't really do anything useful!

Although it helps implement a wiki system, the Python code is still very readable and comprehensible with minimal effort.

I think I know the point that you're trying to make, but those examples surely don't back it up in any way.
The biggest threat would be a new version of the software with some malicious aspects. They'd have to upload it and remain undetected long enough for people to update. This seems like a long shot, but stranger things have happened.

I use 1Password, and it sure beats my old strategy of using a text file for all my unimportant passwords.

Coincidentally, the 1Password plugin is helpful in preventing phishing, too. If you're at the wrong site, the 1Password autofill will not work.
I only know lisp, so I'll use it as an example, but there are other homoiconic languages out there.

In lisp i can do this:

(eval (cons '+ '(1 2 3)))

What i did was that i added the symbol + to the front of the list (1 2 3) to get (+ 1 2 3) which is a valid lisp expression, and i eval-ed it resulting in 6.

i can do other such things:

(eval (reverse '(3 2 1 +)))

I take the list (3 2 1 +) which is an invalid lisp expression, and i reverse it, giving me (+ 1 2 3).

See what we did here? We took a datastructure and we transformed it into something the lisp compiler can recognize as a valid form. We can do this because lisp code is expressed as lisp datastructures(thats what homoiconic means).
hmmm... I just posted the link from the newsletter I received today (http://www.oracle.com/us/dm/h2fy11/62500-java-developer-news...) ... should have been paying attention better in November, I guess
Wow, kudos to the SO team for making the right choice for them. Too many companies/individuals fall for this type of aggressive sales pitch and end up paying for it in the long run.

Kinda a blow for Azure...can't give it away..
I have 705k for the same criminally low price.

Disclaimer: I also added a banner to the homepage back when that was still worth 100k points.
>If your views are against the general views held by the members of that space, you have to choose your words more carefully and present your opinions more diplomatically than if you were in your own space or a space that is at least more in agreement with you.

Yes, and we know what they say about wearing short skirts and sexual assault as well. I know how to read a room, but the point is that the mere fact of the double-standard is offputting.

>Reddit is a collection of many little kingdoms. Some of them have kings that just don't like you, for whatever reason. That's their prerogative and there's nothing you can do about it, except maybe creating a rival subreddit that potentially becomes more popular.

Ultimately I don't disagree, I'm just pointing out how this viewpoint-based moderation creates a bad experience for a lot of people that will lead to their turning to alternatives, and that the scale to which this is happening probably is not just Reddit "working as intended." And it's not like you can just casually jump from say a hobby subreddit that bans all Trump supporters on sight to a right-wing version of the subreddit that offers a remotely-similar experience. My point is a lot weaker than you're acting like it is, which is telling. "Moderators don't act like this, but if they do it's your fault, and if it's not your fault then you need to accept that this is how Reddit works." Do I though?

Interestingly, Reddit has stepped in when moderators have tried to get too forceful with eliminationism - for example, there have been attempts to create shared user blacklists across subreddits but these have largely been quashed by admins.
but isn't that price means there are people who sell on that price?
Netflix didn't approach Blockbuster to acquire it, but rather to get acquired.
Roblox is definitely on the same path.

> Separate, but equal isn't equal.

The world of mobile web sites demonstrates that this swings both ways. Some web sites have mobile-specific interfaces that greatly enhance the experience when using the site on a small screen touch device compared to a large screen keyboard/mouse device. Wikipedia for example, the desktop interface is terrible on a phone and the mobile interface is terrible on a desktop. Obviously other sites are well known to have swung in the opposite direction and whichever variant is not their primary target is significantly worse.

I think that in a similar way the ability to serve specific content optimized for screen readers would allow those who care to deliver a much better experience, but likewise those who don't might make something worse.

---

Of course the simple web site purist in me wants to say that every web site should just stick to basic formatting and text-primary designs that work well in any browsers, but that idea is not just unrealistic thanks to marketing people but it would simply not work for so many modern sites and web applications.

I say the solution is the same as it's always been for when bad web sites do stupid things based on user agent or whatever else. Lie to them. As long as the screen reader can turn off the identifier tag it seems like the worst case outcome is a minor annoyance to have to blacklist that web site from receiving the tag.

---
edit: also a side thought, the things that make a screen reader work well also make it easier to separate content from ads, so there is an inherent commercial incentive for ad-supported content providers to only do the minimum legally required.
I remember you could dial your own number, and it would call you back with a recording.

I also remember dialing a three digit number (maybe 118), and an automated voice would reply with the number you are calling from.
It works! thanks!
Note that the size of the field only has to be as large as the size of the redundancy set (data + code). So if you are striping across 16 or fewer disks, you can use GF(2^4), but if you are striping across 17 disks you can’t use GF(2^4).

Well, if I remember the math correctly.
No they just had a shit load of marketing and the whole social network effect of it caused it to escalate.

It's still a janky as fuck attention grabbing upsell platform. Like an ultra-capitalist minecraft. My kids don't use it - they got bored quickly.
It's probably more about motivation. Not-so-bright but enthusiastic kids probably won't hold you back as much as apathetic children.
What you're getting into now is EPOC and used to be thought to be caused by HIIT. Basically, doing short bouts of high intensity exercise you could drain your glycogen reserves and raise your base metabolism (and thus calorie burning) over the course of 12-24 hours. This theory has been mostly debunked.

Also, keep in mind that while depleting your glycogen stores may help your body focus on using fat instead of other sources of energy during exercise, it doesn't change the fact that the only way to lose weight is to eat less than you use. Too many people look at these studies (GI, insulin response, and HFCS immediately come to mind) as silver bullets. The only real silver bullet is eat less than you use. There was an article not long ago about a guy who only ate twinkies and lost weight by counting calories.

Physically, losing weight is pretty basic stuff, but it's so hard to do because it requires a tough combination of mental and emotional skills and often requires people to change their deep seated (often decades long) relationship with food.
yes, but...

$10 ticket + $10 concessions = $10 net revenue (%25 of the ticket and %75 on concessions)

$20 ticket + no concessions = $5 net revenue.

It is the same reason CEO's take $1 salaries and stock grants/options. Salaries are taxed at %36-9 but long-term capital gains tax is only %15.
That's similar to what I'm thinking of. Note, though, that these are not really tied to any particular spot in the text, and, if there were such a spot, it would be tricky to pinpoint exactly (see my #4).
There are a few reasons. First, the Wi-fi only works about 70% of the time even though the buses are new. Second, these fleets have hundreds of buses. It's not clear that mapping a given bus to the schedule it will run is a trivial problem. Clearly that information is already in the dispatchers' and drivers' heads, but is it in a computer system?

Finally, Megabus already has a system that's supposed to send you a text message if the bus is delayed. It never works.
An asterisk in the main text would suffice, if the side-note is appropriately close. Alternatively, gently color the background of the box and the background of the text it should be linked to.
The school system is an efficient capitalistic means of educating our youth at scale. The author doesn't offer a valid alternative to this means. What does he plan to do with his time outside of school? Take up a trade? Start independent study? In most cases, the path to a career will involve some form of classroom or boring on-the-job training.

We certainly, as public policy, can't allow all 15 year olds to just do whatever they want with no structure. Unless we want rampant alcoholism, crime, and teen pregnancy. Our current school system provides a social net for children in a society where most of them wouldn't have parents at home during the day to guide them.
Most creators have other forms of income, because it's common sense to diversify your income when you can. For most YouTubers, they make most of their money from YouTube, and patreon, merch, and brand deals are just supplemental. Very few YouTubers actually do make most of their money from Patreon or Brand deals.

Content more generally marketable, such as comedy, or content targeting a different demo (such a Makeup/Beauty) have a very different make up, but are still heavily ad driven, and this is the type of content that broadly makes up YouTube. AvE, and his type of content, is relatively niche, and it's unsurprising he makes most of his money from Patreon. Patreon, in general, skews heavily to audiences that have discretionary income and can afford to pay peicemeal to their favorite creators.
I actually took almost all the classes necessary to do that. I could even go further, I took classes that would allow me to design the processor on individual transistor level creating a design which could theoretically be built on silicon. But of course the classes were separate so I did not build upon everything.

The problem with that is that encompasses what have become two disciplines -- computer science, and electrical or computer engineering. I took classes encompassing both sides because I liked the classes, but most people are really interested in one or the other.
I don't care who the vendor of the app is, to be honest. What is the difference if the app comes from Google or somebody else? The point is, what are the useful apps.
Utterly rubbish!
The recent $6 million payout to a Google employee to keep her from running to Facebook has got me thinking a bit about what people think about jobs and compensation. Here are my thoughts! :)
Are you trolling? Because your post is the very definition of irony.
That's not entirely true. A haskell program can also fail in unpredictable ways thanks to lazy evaluation and memory exhaustion. It's probably still easier to pinpoint the source of the problem than it is to track down memory corruption in C++.
I don't see how it would work as a web app. It has to have background notifications to be able to replace SMS.

Of course for direct chatting a web app would be OK.
Contrary to the top answer, I don't think submit a patch means "we don't care if you like our product or not." It means "we are busy improving the product in many other ways."

Apparently, some people think "I have added your request to the end of our infinite backlog of requests" is a more productive response. "Submit a patch" not only conveys the same info, it also provides concrete advice on how you can jump the queue.
Through a separate list I found a couple of companies:
http://www.spielkarten.com/
http://philos.quasarshop.de/Home.asp?Lang=D
http://www.dalnegro.com/ (Italian company)

I have never dealt with playing cards specifically so I cannot give concrete advice on this market but as with most products that I have had to source, I have found that most people are very helpful if you either write to them or pick up the phone and call and ask for advice. Since the playing cards market is not that big I am sure that companies are more than willing to give advice to entrants to this specific field.
I'm pretty sure screen use doesn't result in myopia. I'm also pretty sure that wearing glasses carries essentially no stigma in the developed world.
Yes. As soon as you define everything in em these problems completely cease to exist.

Clearly, time has come to nationalize the banking system.
They're not shutting down, they're merging with a sister startup. AFAICT, this means: they won't be making any more PR2's. ROS is open source, seems like lots of grad students are using it. Probably it will continue to be developed and improved. Maybe it will become the "unix and C" of robotics.
I worked with a guy who died of a heart attack. Every year LinkedIn asks me to congratulate him having worked X+N years at the company. You have to wonder when they'll give up.
Hey DannyK23,
xenon and other noble gases are expensive and a depleting resource, obviously water is abundant and can be acquired cheaply.
For example xenon cost around ~ 15 - 20 dollars per liter. While water cost around ~ .17 - .50 cents.

Another reason why water has been cheaper is the logistics side of it. Water can be stored as a liquid, so there is no need to have pressure vessels. This lets launchpad logistics get simplified and get cheaper. One of the main pro for xenon is its performance. That is why typically people have gravitated towards that gas. The reason for that is xenon is the heaviest non-radioactive noble gas. Generally speaking, the heavier the mass the better performance. Another good trait for xenon is that it stores at higher density than other noble gases, allowing more punch in a packed spacecraft volume.

For us, the biggest factor is cost and not performance. We see that the industry is going for cheaper simpler solutions so space hardware can be more easily innovated upon, and launched into space. Old school aerospace focused on performance, due to the fact once the satellite was in space, it needed to work and perform due to how expensive it is to launch it in space.

However, due to the lowering of cost in space, our goal is to optimize mass manufacturing and cost. This is why we feel that water might be a great propellent solution to our problem.

So as you can tell one solution for one company does not make sense for another company. It depends on the goals.
It will definitely stamp its name on the page of history.
$35mm/year to maintain 420kLOC.
[...]
Given the budget I would expect nothing less.

What's impressive isn't the LOC per dollar (or person), even at that level of reliability, but the functionality (and reliability of functionality) per LOC. It's what that 420 kLoC does. They've managed to get a lot of functionality relative to code size... because they know the cost of excess code.

I wouldn't be surprised if most Silicon Valley companies have 420 kLoC after a couple years, not a single line of it being something you'd want to bet your life on. The difference is that 420 kLoC of "Agile" code written under deadline culture (perpetual "sprinting") with stack-ranking is going to amount to nothing but 3/4ths of a shitty product-- not because it isn't enough code, but because the code is so unreliable.

As it were, there are plenty of startups with $35M per year budgets (or more) that aren't writing high-reliability code or anything even close to it.
A few questions:

- What is the equivalent of the global action bus in Flux?

- How do you handle consuming data from multiple rest endpoints?

- Suppose you want to restructure the components in the app into a different hierarchy, how much refactoring is involved?

- Is there any open source example code of an app built this way that is more complex than a simple todo or simple async example? (I think the biggest challenge with these kinds of apps comes at that next tier of complexity... it's trivial to do a clean TODO implementation that doesn't do anything with server data in nearly any framework).

No, the point of a search engine is not to have bias. The point is to provide the user with the results they are looking for.

Calling things people want to censor "spam" is just the trendy talking point of the day.
A simple Bash loop could suffice, if it's enough to ping the site:

I hate products that suck, waiting for that magical upgrade that's just around the corner.

After using AWS for some time now, with things like CloudFront, S3, Elastic Map Reduce and managed Mysql instances and AutoScale (and hey, they've got servers in Europe), App Engine really feels like a half baked toy.
It's possible to build a speed test site out of media file fetches from otherwise public assets from third party sites, the quality of the measurement will just be a little noisier. In many ways this would actually be a better test than some well-placed IP address, since there is a chance to randomly sample many different routes from the ISP to real world destinations for practical object sizes (i.e., not just an idealized unidirectional stream with no request roundtrips in between).

For example you could do something with Image.onload event, but even better are the recent JS web performance APIs, they provide a huge amount of detail - including DNS lookup latency, TCP connect time, TTFB etc.

Actually now I want to build this

edit: I'm probably not going to build this, but you should. For large object sources, there are Flickr full size images, HLS URLs for video on demand systems (each HLS segment is generally around 1-3MB), etc.

I'd want a giant list of these to pick from at random, and probably want to bucket the results along (domain name, destination BGP ASN, destination GeoIP) axes as well as whatever the JS performance API offers. You could maybe present each axis as some kind of confidence interval, then geometric mean to produce an overall score presented graphically somehow

You could then collect up all these scores and publish stats bucketed by Internet provider. And that's the point where I realized I don't have the energy to build all this ;)
In case you're (like me) wondering what "attempted lynching" means in the context of the article, consider yourself enlightened by the California Penal Code:

405a. The taking by means of a riot of any person from the lawful
custody of any peace officer is a lynching.

405b. Every person who participates in any lynching is punishable
by imprisonment in the state prison for two, three or four years.

I can't imagine this is what the law was written to be used for, given the usual connotation of lynching.
