I'm not sure, as I didn't dig too deeply. I forget the details, but I knew the post had been reposted, since many of the (poor quality) candidates said things like "I'm inquiring about the position posted at [some-place-other-than-github]"
thanks, will test!
Not sure what you're asking; we have to publish it or else it ain't exactly a website.

Beyond that, not only are there plenty of sites scraping us (the better ones use the API, the worst ones don't throttle and get throttled) but we periodically publish full archives, hosted by a neutral 3rd-party: https://archive.org/details/stackexchange - kinda hard to take back something that's been torrented.
I don't necessarily disagree with you, but we haven't really explored the full range possibilities of canned apes in space. For example, there are no centrifugal artificial-gravity generators anywhere in space - setting some up could show us whether the various problems with free-fall environments could be mitigated.
Using all of ExtJS just for a grid seems like a bit much. It's no surprise that when a new framework comes about there's a landrush to reinvent all of the common components.
ITA? I know of them being air travel software acquired by google - can you elaborate?
Stuhlinger's letter expresses a basic optimism toward science that was characteristic of the modern era in general and the middle of the 20th century in particular, and which has tarnished a great deal since then. Their faith held that science has a sort of generalized power to produce good; more specifically, that given a relatively small cost investment (in terms of money, time, effort, attention, education, etc.) in scientific endeavor, a very large and concrete benefit is likely to eventually result. His story of the lens grinder captures that expectation.

Without arguing the case, I think it's fair to say that a much smaller proportion of the people in Western societies (at least) now hold this faith as strongly. The costs of modern "progress" have become more apparent over time: cures often harbor severe side effects; machines have their wastes and their dangers; knowledge that seems sure at first often proves less sure with further study. Our confidence that the costs of science are as low as we once thought they were has weakened; our confidence that the benefits are as great or as inevitable has also declined.

His argument that reapportioning money from science to humanitarian causes is not as simple, in a democratic, bureaucratic country, as it seems it should be is still as strong as it was when he gave it, if not more so.

But the underlying assumption that, "If we just do something ambitiously scientific, vastly great goods for humanity will result," is harder to sell than it was. We no longer accept that a manned voyage to Mars (for example) will result in concrete benefits for humanity in a way that is remotely analogous to the support of a lens grinder at the dawn of optics.

Proponents of space exploration must continue to both show the rest of us the concrete benefits of investment and, at the same time, limit their expectations. It will never again be like it was in the 60s and early 70s.

Man, with VLC Player has been ready for prime time, I haven't downloaded a codec in years.
Firstly, if you can access your root domain, but not the subdomains, you have configured something wrong (unless you are using multiple IP's). That's YOUR fault, and neither Prgmr or Linode is likely to help much there (although in both cases, people in the channels are more than happy to provide some suggestions).

Now, in regards to stability, I find both to be equal. The difference is, that for the cost of 1x Linode, you could buy 2x Prgmr nodes in different location and run them simultaneously to provide much better stability.

Maybe you should jump onto IRC, but from the sounds of things, you may not have the experience to administer a Prgmr Node. Linode is easier to learn with, but is much more expensive

Just onto Freenode IRC / #prgmr, and people will help. But honestly, there was a short server outage a month ago, but your current server issues are likely configuration faults on your side.
But it's not "high-volume" - it's sold less than 2,000 units! And they can't even get the price under $100k even with all of the subsidies!
This one (well this approach anyway) comes around like a revolving door
You might want to work through some ASP.NET MVC tutorials using your language of choice before jumping into Django or Rails. That will give you an easier entry point to learning MVC (which is quite different conceptually from ASP.NET Webforms). Then you can read through some language tutorials and decide whether you prefer Ruby or Python.
ASP.NET MVC is nearly identical to Rails minus ActiveRecord, so you could easily jump from there to Rails development.
Though if you're going to be developing on a Windows box, Django is much more of a first class citizen there than Rails. I also had a ton of deployment problems trying to deploy Rails to a Windows server. Just a tip: no matter where you dev, don't try deploying to a Windows Server machine unless you have to. Linux plays much more nicely with both Django and Rails.

Edit: Anyone care to explain the downvoting? I'm not whining; I'm just genuinely curious. I thought my post was fairly informative, and I tried to give love to both Django and Rails. I had problems going from C# Webforms to Rails, partly because I was a noob, partly because I was trying to learn a new framework (Rails), a new language (Ruby, which is very different from C#), and partly because Ruby and Rails both have some configuration issues on Windows. It's nothing you can't overcome, but added all together it made for a very steep entry to becoming a Rails developer. The OP sounded like he was coming from a very similar situation to me.
I don't think demand is going to shift to electric until it becomes more economical than combustion. Path of least resistance still rules the economy. Telsa's current state of affairs indicates that electric has a long way to go before it can viably compete in the mass market.
No. BLOCKING errors should generate modal dialog boxes. Warnings, hints, information, etc. shouldn't.

He presssed "send" to move on to the next page. He's done with everything, but he REALLY shouldn't go forward or do anything else until he's taken care of this.
It's not quite true that these companies have no lobbying presence in the USA. The Poker Players Alliance operates out of Washington DC and represents all of the companies indicted today.
Okay, I see what you mean by that now. I might still quibble that calling it a "social issue" (as opposed to technical) makes it sound like it's not Lisp's fault. A good feature that leads to a bad situation is a bad feature. I want to call out macros for what they are: a feature that contributes to Lisp not being used.

Thinking about it more, I might describe macros as "anti-social" in that they help the programmer but hurt the team. This might be what you meant.

Note that I'm not saying that the idea of macros is bad; only that Lisp's decision to make them look like function calls is bad. I once saw a macro system for Lua that made their invocation look clearly different than normal language.
I was really hoping there was a banner{1-6}.jpg
Former TA here. It's surprising how often I've heard people use "I didn't know we weren't supposed to plagiarize" as an excuse. It seems to be the first line of defense for people who were caught copying and pasting large portions of an assignment from the internet.

Personally, I've stopped worrying about it. If people cheat themselves out of an education, that's unfortunate, but hard to avoid. Focus on doing the best job possible for the people who are there to learn; there aren't enough hours in the day to try to impose an education on unwilling people by force, and they'll hate you for trying.
from:foo, has:attachment, to:foo all should work.
Yes, my thought exactly. It would be very nice if Oracle would just turn over the trademark to The Document Foundation, and be done with it. Problem solved, and everybody is happy.
I agree that there's a different between Liberty Dollars and casino chips, but I've also been known to keep casino chips as souvenirs as well, so I guess they're similar in that regard.

I personally equate the Liberty Dollars to comic books or baseball cards, in that they're collectible items. Being silver, they should appreciate over time, but I would not confuse them with currency myself. I can see how others might make that mistake, but I don't see it as a fault of the company any more than I would accuse the folks who Chuck-E-Cheese of counterfeiting by creating 'game tokens'.

I think for practical purposes there would ideally be a convention for the high level aspect of a commit message and the details...

Though the counter-argument is to commit exactly when a single reasonable commit message contains enough information... squashing defeats this.
I wasn't much of a notetaker in college. But there may be something to it.

I was going through old books from university over christmas. I found two notebooks where I took extensive notes during class.

They were all familiar. I remembered the content of the class quite well, whereas I've forgotten most other classes.

(Of course, one possible bias is that I thought these two teachers were better, so I may have paid more attention)
I had a choice. I could disrupt the class to single him out. Or I could do what most teachers in higher education do: just ignore it. After all, these students are adults, and they have to take a final exam.

I think there are always people who will do something else, if they were not looking at a laptop they'd be daydreaming or idly doodling. In the end it doesn't matter as long as they can do the work and meet the learning goals of the course. The ones who can't, regardless of whether they're looking at a laptop, will (or should...) fail anyway.
What next? They make you prove you've never been cloned?
Definitely after the college gave them that "great" deal on their laptop.
tldr; this was fixed. It just didn't get marked as fixed by Google.

I was following this issue on the Nexus 4 (comment #20 of OP[1]), way back when and even filed a more detailed follow up issue [2].

In short, the APIs needed for echo cancellation, noise suppression and automatic gain adjustment weren't making use of the Nexus 4 hardware (lack of driver, missing code, I don't know why). However, the issue was fixed in the Android 4.3 OTA update.

I can verify this because at the time I was working on a VoIP app and my Nexus 4 was my primary phone and it was driving me mad. But in all fairness, it was fixed by Google.

Is it not good enough to have specific grep tools? nimgrep for example, and there are procs for working with this IIRC.
Because of the large tourism industry here I happen to have quite a few friends and acquaintances that run hospitals and restaurants. Facebook, Booking, Google Maps and co are universally hated by company owners. But they have to be on there because it’s the only way to get the right visibility and there are customer expectations. I have not met a single person who didn’t wish they could get away with just a website and a booking form on it.
I’ll take you at your word that your on an alt or something and assume that you’ve also been around since the beginning.

It doesn’t seem like we’re going to get along, so I propose that we just stay off one another’s comments to keep things civil.
This decision is proof of that. Microsoft can work to lobby the government to get access in Iran, but there's no way 50 person shop in Mississippi could even hope to without a few tens of millions to throw away on lobbyists or special interests groups.

> It doesn't require that much investment to become familiar,

It requires a lot of investment to become familiar.

I've found this mischaracterization very common among people who are proficient with FP: they forget where they came from, how long it took them to get familiar with all these concepts (the Haskell syntax first, then the FP mindset, then advanced concepts like monoids, functors, applicatives, monads), etc...
Why? In principle, it should be possible to build a car that couldn't be used to mow down a pedestrian or cyclist if the driver tried.
Build something you’d use. Doesn’t matter what.

The first app I built scraped a food delivery site that looked for big deals and sent me a text so I could confirm a purchase and have dinner at home.

I learned about web scraping, database storage, integrating twilio, error handling, cron and getting this all into an ec2 instance.

My second app I turned into a full time business after many rewrites.

Build an app that scans for the lowest gas price in town and send you the trailing 12 week average on price via text daily.

I’m learning guitar so I want to build an planner that makes sense to me

If you spend a little time you can come up with an app that will add value to you and because you know the problem and are motivated by it you’re more likely to ship compared to a to-do app or one of the generic recommendations you tend to receive
Do they also require a license to exit the planet through said airspace? Is it possible to receive one but not the other? i.e. If by some clerical error SpaceX received their "Exit License" but then forgot their "Re-Entry License", would the capsule then be stuck in the outer atmosphere?

Pedantic, I know, but still oddly intriguing to me. The fact that such a legacy organization like the FAA has to stretch to fit into this business space is interesting to me.
Maybe I use browsers differently to most people (I don't think so), but I really feel these features to manage tabs are misguided.

I get through thousands of tabs a week. Tabs don't indicate a web page is significant or persistent. They indicate that I wanted to have two pages open at the same time. Thus it makes no sense to manage tabs: they are an effect of untidiness, not a cause.

What these features are hinting at is some better way to handle common [sites]. I have a dozen or sites that I check every day, and being able to have those all open in one place would be great. But using the poor old tab system for this is not the answer. It already has a job.
I heard of one firm that analyse trading activity on ebay to predict ebay's stock performance.

Generally prop trading firms but also sector analysts at major investment banks. How they use this data is mostly considered propriety, but you can figure out the obvious uses.

Using Google Insights and Amazon is actually immensely valuable is this space, as you can use product rankings/searches to figure out how products are doing well before any official announcements.

For the social media stuff a lot of financial firms use third-party technology. There's a whole load of firms that do sentiment analysis on social networks. Most of the companies in this space build products for marketing/PR teams, but sector analysts in consumer markets often use them as well.

Ironically the best way to track down the firms doing this stuff is to search Linkedin for people with data mining expertise working in the financial sector :-)
I like it, seems like it works pretty well and it is cool how you use Wikipedia for the testing as that will allow users to practice with "real" work. The price seems high, but I don't know that market.

Also, I think I would really build up the speed test you have and use that as a marketing tool with something like high scores posted to Facebook.
Not as pretty/fancy, but possibly more intuitive.
true, looks smooth. demo-video:

aids the cognitive map you have of your tabs - much better than FF's default tab-scrolling.
He never gives a single example of such a favor. DC isn't a homogeneous place either. What the executive branch and congress wants are often different and at odds. Making nice with the Executive Branch maybe gets you favorite treatment from the DoJ or IRS -- maybe. It's not clear the Obama administration has been overly favorite to Google's interests.

Google's biggest threats come from congressional legislation, hence the lobbying, including to climate change deniers.

My point is, this is all insinuation, tenuous at best.
It's a common mistake to refer to "the banks" as if they are all the same when they are not. The bank in question is a community bank with a conservative loan portfolio. It did not experience the same losses banks with more aggressive portfolios did.

As for the data you reference, in all of 2007, Lending Club did about $6 million in loans[1]. For comparison, it did over a billion dollars in loans in Q3 2014. Again, alternative online lenders have built the vast majority of their portfolios (or originated most of their loans in the case of services like Lending Club) during an unprecedented period of extraordinarily low interest rates and historically low defaults.

I'm not suggesting that all of these loans are going to go bad when the economy turns; I was simply pointing out that exercises like the one linked to here are quite limited in their real-world utility.

I highly recommend Masuji Ibuse's "Black Rain". Historical fiction, but beautiful and eye-opening. Deals with the Hiroshima bombing.
Oh certainly. State sponsorship of terrorism is regular practice.

It hurts people disproportionately who have more of it, so it's progressive if anything. But not in practice because right people save assets not money, and poor people are usually in debt. Debtors benefit from inflation because it reduces the real cost of their debt.
The most enduring lesson was an attitudinal shift toward the reader. The book's stance is that the reader is capable of and interested in understanding whatever it is that you want to say, and your job is not to dazzle her, or persuade her, but rather to provide her the conceptual building blocks to conclude what you have yourself concluded.

After reading the book I realized that, without ever having consciously decided to, I had been writing at least a little bit to signal how smart and creative and insightful I was, vs trying to communicate effectively. This was a revelation, and not a happy one -- so much misdirected vanity, to so little purpose!
For those wondering how this is done, it involves: a new Clojure dialect and it's reader, core libs and a compiler.

The reader reads the specific tokens that define the Clojure Dart dialect via the data readers extension mechanism of the standard Clojure reader. Note, this dialect is not strictly compatible with other Clojure dialects, only with Clojure code that is host platform neutral 'pure Clojure', or code that uses dialect 'reader conditionals' to have specialised functionality. This is as it is with Clojurescript, and libraries made cljs friendly will not doubt be trivially made cljd friendly.

The core libs is where the bulk of the work lies, by lines of code at least. core.cljd is 7135 lines, with all the Java-isms (mainly IO, String and Math fns) replaced by Dart wrapper libs. A lot of it, however, is pure Clojure lifted straight from the original. Furthermore, there's a ready-made test suite.

Finally, the compiler. 4000 lines to produce Dart source from AST generated by the standard Clojure reader (but with Dart extensions support via tagged data).
They would still only prioritize network from Netflix' servers, so it wouldn't help you, unless Netflix starts a hosting service...
The missing part of this jigsaw is that not everyone is _simultaneously_ seeking to _temporarily_ convert depreciation into cash. with enough market players, such a microsystem can sustain itself
Please report back after confirming :)
Yes. Tons. Just ask Bernard Maddoff. Check out the SEC for more information.

You will need an entire team of lawyers.
Don't a lot of women already wonder about a lot of men in this way? (Tetrachromacy gene is on the X chromosome, and seems to express more often in women.)
No. Its emails from human beings. Perhaps I got bad nodes... but I had just short of 10 slices if my memory serves me right
The transfer is a bit poor on prgmr though. $20 gets you 160GiB vs 200 on Linode. Also overage charges on Linode are pretty cheap (half what they are on slicehost).

Depends if you need ram/disk/transfer though.
That should be straightforward to check up on, by randomly choosing which one to present as the default to a large number of people.
I have mixed feelings about unions. While there’s no question that unions played an important role in labor rights during the 20th century, in the 21st century unions now seems to be more a part of the problem rather than a part of the solution.
I never heard of Mailgun having such issues. Previous company I was working for (medium size ecommerce platform) was delivering thousands of emails/day via Mailgun without problems. Not using their free tier though, but paying.
Thanks for that twitter!

I'm amazed, too. Many of the phrases in the ship names have zero google hits - so AI-Dungeon genuinely created/combined them somehow.

I'm still puzzled that it managed to put (GSV, etc.) prefixes to all of them - how is that possible?
But this doesn't work for people hosting their static websites on GitHub Pages, Netlify...
What you've described is also roughly how gold vs gold certificates work. You're correct that an owner of a gold certificate doesn't truly own the gold, and are exposed to extra risk on account of that. That being said, the value of gold has still remained stable/flat (relative to USD inflation). Also, every time you buy BTC, you can see the underlying transaction on the public block explorer. The day that stops being true is the day that Coinbase loses customers that consider BTC as a hedge on fiat.

You can still transact with Bitcoin using your own wallets against other exchanges/vaults. That's the entire point, Coinbase, like a (lower case "b") doesn't control the supply of Bitcoin, any more than precious metals bullions control the supply of gold despite their issuance of "gold certificates". Like any (lower case "b") bank, Coinbase can engage in bad behavior, and users are placing their trust in Coinbase to not do that. But those users aren't placing their trust in Coinbase to drive the monetary policy of Bitcoin, in the same way that the gold hoarder placing their gold bars in a Swiss vault doesn't really have to worry about the operator of the vault creating gold out of thin air. That fundamental fact drives the collective belief in the value of gold; as well as Bitcoin.

> * the new owners of those 100 bitcoins can roll down to exchange X and deposit them and accept 100 claims against exchange X in return

You can't deposit that purchased BTC at another exchange unless you cash out of Coinbase, because you don't have access to the private key, Coinbase does.
