By your parenthetical I assume you know of chaotic systems. But yeah, its been some time since I read philosophy but I vaguely remember that you still aren't guaranteed free will just cause things are undeterministic. This is because since you cannot show that an event was caused you cannot prove that your actions led to the event. How do you know that it is because of your actions that some event occurred or you chose to act as you did if things don't necessarily lead from one another? And the other side is true too. Just cause things are determined does not necessitate free will be lost. It was usually sugar coated but I always took it as even with just the illusion of free choice, that ability to be able to seemingly choose what you would have anyways is free will.

I stopped thinking about such things as I always got stuck in a head wrenching recursive loop of futility.
There was fractional reserve banking (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractional-reserve_banking). Banks could lent more dollars, than they had in reserves.

Money supply (M2) was expanding with great rate till the 1928.
well done. seems like a very viable business. Great website. Just make sure that you make a free sign up button nice and prominent on the home page when you're taking sign ups.
It's a little dissapointing that the #1 comment on this extensive study currently is an anecdote about stronglikedan's different but 'amazing' diet.
Could you give an example of the Arc Challenge[0] with it? I would like to see something we could use as a comparison to those other langauges.

Note that this is a page about GAE for business, so I wouldn't be surprised if SQL databases require a billable account similar to the Blobstore - don't think anything has been explicitly stated one way or another as yet though.
There's been talk about work on a build of sublime for arm64 -- I think if you poke around on their forums there was a link or contact to get a beta copy for licensed users.
Ah yep you're right it supports Thunderbolt 3/USB 4, for some reason I had it in my head the ARM version just had plain USB 3.x type C.
SMRs are not radioisotope thermal generators.
I wonder why some companies do not publicly post their price of the product? Or at least a price range? What's the harm in that?
Or the only one you've heard of?
> I wouldn't mind a union that forces my company to pay me for overtime when it's necessary. In the case of a start-up, that payment can be in the form of something deferred, like partial ownership of the company.

You don't need a union to force your company to pay you overtime. You just the willingness to walk when you don't like the terms.

Note that "willingness to walk" is all that the company has.

> Provide a career path, including both management and non-management tracks. (Programmers who don't want to manage shouldn't be stuck in dead-end positions.)

Ah yes - the geek director job, handed out as patronage.

People make it to real higher positions by providing the relevant value, not by coming from a particular background. Mandating folks with a background just leads to a "make work" position.
That and he feels slighted by other researchers, especially Shing-Tung Yau.

Edit: If you're interested about Yau, here's a NYT article (http://www.nytimes.com/2006/10/17/science/17yau.html?_r=1)

"But even his admirers say he has a political side. “As Shiing-Shen Chern’s successor as emperor of Chinese mathematics,” Deane Yang, a professor of mathematics at Polytechnic University in Brooklyn and an old family friend, wrote in a letter to The New Yorker, “Yau has an outsized ego and great ambition, and has done things that dismay his peers.” But, Dr. Yang said, Dr. Yau has been a major force for good in mathematics and in China, a prodigious teacher who has trained 39 Ph.D.’s."
Feynman is one of my few heroes. This is an interesting situation. Feynman was right and Wolfram did what he wanted and was successful. Perhaps by taking Feynman's advice to heart. Who knows?

Write awesome content.
Also, "atomic": http://ngrams.googlelabs.com/graph?content=atomic&year_s...
Yahoo! keeps saying it's a content company. Given what they knew via delicious, it seems like a competent production group could have noted the top marks in any category, figured out why they were so successful, then combined them into a product with commercial value, either licensing he content directly, or commissioning the original authors to develop their ideas on Yahoo's dime, then subdividing this nicely vetted material by proven authors for use across a range or properties (e.g. photography related stuff in Flickr, investing references in Yahoo! finance, etc.)
"Because I don't really need to work on things I sometimes forget that I have assignments to do, and that resulted in me only having one of the three exams I was supposed to this spring, because I missed two hand-ins."

Danger!

I got some great advice from a high school teacher once, when I was in a similar situation (questioning the usefulness of the curriculum): You only get to say it's substandard once you ace it. Any time before then, or forever if you drop out, your opinion means nothing. He was completely right.

My advice: Stop screwing around thinking all this is beneath you. If it really is, then you should be scoring ridiculously high grades, not missing entire exams. If you're understimulated, ask for higher-level work (masters level?). I think if you turn up in the USA (assuming they let you in) and say you quit because it wasn't any good, they'll assume you're a dilettante and/or lazy.

You don't realize it, but you're in an advantageous situation. You've got time, which is more valuable than most things. You can ace your degree while doing extra to demonstrate that you aren't just one of the crowd. What you choose to do in addition to the course is up to you: higher level schoolwork, freelancing, your own software, whatever. Then when you're done you'll have accomplishments to show, as well as the improved self-discipline that comes from doing something that doesn't fascinate you.

Put your ass in the chair and turn yourself into something outstanding.
To complete my other answer, as to the first part, I just checked on the keynote video (~1:33:30 on the official stream), I'll quote:

slide appears with "Wi-Fi only in 2010"

> FaceTime is going to be WiFi only in 2010, we need to work a little bit with the... cellular providers, get ready for the future [...]
The author blatantly ignores modes of communications.

A discussion of two specialists' will be completely impenetrable to a layman. However, this fact says nothing about the specialists'. An 'intelligent' specialist should be able to communicate ideas from his field to a layman, but the efficiency of this communication will be much lower than of the discussion from the example above.
Not related to Drobo:

I use a cron script which runs rsync each hour and synchronizes my / and /home/ with my /mnt/mirror/.

Ever since I've set this up, I've had a reliable backup which I don't have to think about. I've even migrated my system to it once, because I needed to swap the primary hard drive out.

What's the big deal about backing up? Why buy a dedicated unit anyway? Am I missing something fundamental?
You could try apply for a University Place in the US and study something more challenging, That way you could start working on the American Dream while studying.
I can't, my university won't let me take harder courses. I've taken the hardest courses I can. And I've talked with the councilors, and they tell me to just wait till next semester - "that's when the real fun starts" - but I don't think so.
One note - many gnome based linux distros now use NetworkManager for providing wireless access which does not work once you move to a different window manager like XMonad. So read up on wpa_supplicant and XMonad bindings before you nuke gnome and install xmonad.
'Conjecture' could also work.
Governments have always (always) been involved in economies. Rome imported hundreds of tons of grain a year and gave them out free to its citizens. Hammurabi’s code mandated fixed medical payments and regulated professions. Don’t get me started on China. And taxation has been around as long as there has been agriculture, although it’s much better nowadays since the taxman won’t come in and tax all the food you own just before winter, leaving you to starve.

It is interesting, but the major turn off is that since it is primarily a diabetic drug, it messes with your blood sugar. From get go, you will want to control your sugar and/or follow strict diet.

Granted, those turn offs are for people without diabetes. People with it already have to follow that routine in their life.

All that said, it is better to have more tools than less given US population increased obesity rates.
T-mobile is capped sort of, once you hit like 50 GB you are throttled to worthless speeds.
Well they’ve already done that, so this isn’t next it’s the past, which will continue to repeat itself. Big Tech companies will probably start behaving more and more like oil companies.
There's strong evidence of the one doctor and concerns that it might be more widespread. Were there people that knew about it and didn't stop it?

And it very much is a failure of government if an individual is systematically abusing people that are in government custody.
After reading a string of books that basically did nothing for me, and then reading a book that completely enveloped me and messed with my head (House of Leaves, by Mark Z. Danielewski), I've made a a point of giving books about 50-100 pages to grab my attention, and then moving on if I'm not interested.

I do seek out books from lists like "100 greatest books of the 20th century" and similar, but it doesn't bother me in the slightest to say that War and Peace was dry, repetitive, and completely uninteresting, or that Ulysees' and Gravity's Rainbow's prose were so incoherent, I couldn't make it even 50 pages in either book. On the other hand, The Brothers Karamozov is easily one of the top three books I've ever read, so I don't think its an aversion to classic literature in general.

I think using other people's opinions of books is a good starting point for finding books to read. But I derive no enjoyment whatsoever from knowing that someone else likes the music, or books, or movies that I like, so why should I feel guilty or question my tastes when I disagree with even the most highly regarded opinions?
There must be evidence of DNA mixing, so many people being moved so far must have left a genetic trace.
...every large scale project I've worked on has had a set coding standard and supplied auto-format tools either as IDE plugins or as part of the checkin procedure to make it easy to adhere to the standard.

I like the idea of that approach too but I tried to set it up a few years ago and it was pretty painful. So I never got to fully functional. Are you actually using that set up and if so, do you think it's worth the effort?
We're exploring several rebalancing models at the moment (calendar rebalancing, constant proportion rebalancing, as well as only rebalancing with new contributions), and trying to understand which folks are more interested in. Which would you be most interested in?

Definitely want to mitigate tax burden. Additionally, the direct indexing model does allow for more flexibility around loss-harvesting.
But were they really doing anything other than copy/pasting HOWTOs by Falko Timme?
TD Ameritrade offers 7am to 8pm. You just need a real brokerage.
The headline is about the aspiration but not the implementation.

Within the contents of the paper, it talks about CRDTs to technically implement it.

I'm not familiar with the technical tradeoffs but I bookmarked some past HN threads mentioning CRDT did not fare as well as OT (Operational Transform):

It is you who is making my point for me. I agree that the 1M would be better spent on any of those things, rather than rotting away in a refuse site somewhere in MA. My argument was never that BTC is a good investment or even that it's worth the opportunity cost. I was just arguing against the "nothing of value was lost" mentality you have at throwing away all this BTC.

Put another way - If somebody were to buy SNAP stock, it's also a purely speculative investment (no dividends, no votes, etc). I may think this is a poor use of money, but I'm still confident if somebody gave me some SNAP stock I'd convert it into USD instead of just straight up throwing it into a dump somewhere and claiming I didn't miss out on any value.
> Years later the app is a nightmare and the low paid devs have moved on and now they have to pay out the nose to get people to actually work on their stuff.

You forgot the part where they keep trying to lowball competent developers, struggle to find someone willing to duct tape their system together for "competitive" pay, and throw their hands up declaring there's a Shortage Of Developers™.
You cannot hear it on TV, but the combination of cheering, taunting and vuvzela's is just magical (from the stands).
Interesting, I'll have to give that a try. I had originally started doing this as an attempt to turn my Android phone into a stereoscope:

Unfortunately, the rendering speed just isn't there. The bottleneck actually seems to be the timer for running the animation, because reducing the number of objects doesn't seem to have a significant effect on the performance. I'll probably end up reworking this as an OpenGL application.
Where is the "Take it For a Test Drive" , "See how it works" - Something along those lines. With new "webapps", its important to show the features,L&F that you bring to the table upfront without having to sign-up.
Potlucks? There's an app for that. I will review it when I have a potluck. Unfortunately I work solo and all my previous potlucks were organized in the office. Congrats on the launch though!
That's funny. Maybe GoDaddy can add that to their (lengthy) checkout process: Don't forget to register 'YourBizSucks.com'!
"The reason this isn't the accepted ideal method for building an AI is that it -doesn't build an AI-."

You started off with a promising first sentence, then fell into a philosophical debate that people couldn't resist getting trapped in.

So, more to the point, what this does build is nothing more and nothing less than a uselessly complicated software system. It's all fun and games at first, but then the heuristics start interacting in weird ways, then they start interacting in really weird ways, and you start stacking heuristics on top of heuristics for applying heuristics, and before long you have a system that demonstrates rare flashes of brilliance but in practice is so unpredictable and opaque you can't use it.

You end up with demo-ware.

I have no love for the payments industry, but this article overstates things a bit. I dropped out when it started ranting about charging credit-card-level fees for debit cards. There is a reason why those cards are run as credit from an online site - there's no alternative. Have you ever typed a PIN number into a web site? The whole infrastructure is set up to make it impossible (in theory) to capture and store the PIN number; it's supposed to be proof that the card holder was present. That property is not present for arbitrary web sites, so they have to run the cards as credit.
Please add an option/extension so that downvoters provide reasons for their downvoting. It helps to understand the other view points or reasons for disagreement rather than just downvoting, which appears rude/insensitive, and may be for ideological/racial reasons(which we never know).

Upvoting without reason may be ok, in that case at least we know that upvoter is in the same/similar logical region as we are. Downvotes may indicate differences of opinion but do not indicate what/why are those differences. So reasons for downvoting clarifies those reasons and other view points, which I guess is the reason for "comments" in the first place.
> probably a single entity

"Probably"? How about "surely" or "surely not"? Is an entity comprised of many things or one thing? Does it matter? Are you merely pointing out that there is no true separation between anything and everything that exists?

Hmm, surely a lot of windows machines on there. Why would one put VNC on there? It's not exactly the best remote screen tool out there (had to use it often in the past unfotunately), or did I miss something? Just because it can be passwordless? Or because they don't know about RDP maybe?
SpaceX is the commercialisation of space exploration and that's just how valuation works in commercial applications. It is, however, remiss to value to science and progress in dollar terms. TCP/IP is far more valuable than all of the Internet companies combined but not in dollar terms.
I am not sure if you are trying to be sarcastic or agreeing to my point.

But yes, emerging technologies are not something every common-man invests in.
I think borgia is referring to our coal exports to China being lucrative, and their removal would hurt.

We have a lot of coal. Here in Victoria, we have a ridiculous amount of low-grade coal that's not good for exporting. One power company CEO once said in a radio interview that if you want to convince him of a new technique to use less coal for whatever reason, don't frame your argument around fuel price - the coal is effectively free.
I interacted in a workshop with a person who taught about personal organization, and we had a phone session.

I thought that it was important to fill your planning and calendar with fixed things.

Instead she advised me to just plan week by week. I'm a freelance and honestly, it sort of feel better to be part of a bigger, organized group that tells you the things that are to do.

When you're the only decider of your own planning, it feels really weird: do I just have to fill up my planning with whatever things I deem of importance?

Just like Sartre said, we are shockingly free (existentialism etc), and we still crave and aspire to be part of an organized group with goals we can adhere to, to feel safe.
Or perhaps Ireland's spending was artifically high? Your bias for government intervention is showing.
Interesting - one of the few links where the article delivers more than the title promises. How about "dissipating short bursts of heat in mobile CPUs"? Just for HN, of course, where people are genuinely interested in such topics. /2cents
I would argue that Gruber is wrong. Microsoft would have made money during it's Ballmer years, regardless of who was at the helm. When Gates left, MS was a Katamari ball rolling down hill, catching all the money in it's path.
Unfortunately Akin was on the House Budget and Armed Services committees as well (a subcommittee on the latter, but still). I just picked Science because it was the most ridiculous assignment of the three, but I would be very surprised if he was actually really good at the other two.
Those are unit prices or interval prices. Any transaction will almost definitely be in an amount of dollars and centers if dealing in US, rounding to a whole cent based on the total units or interval.

For example, if you're paying #3.089 a gallon at the pump, and you pump exactly one gallon, you don't pay $3.089, you'll pay $3.09, and neither your account or the account you're paying into will need to know or care about the tenth of a cent difference, because our monetary system doesn't really deal with denominations that small in transactions.
Terminal windows are built into Pycharm. They also automatically open with the project's virtualenv for each terminal instance which is great.
Companies regularly fire people for expressing political opinions they don't agree with. I feel that speech should be protected, but if so, it should be protected across the board for all points of views, all ideologies, and all political positions. For instance, an employee who publicly criticizes Black Lives Matter should be able to do so without risking their job. Would you be OK with that?
That's pretty interesting. Maybe the next rover needs an excavator tool so we can build an underground hidey-hole for storing sensitive equipment at night.
I'm not sure how you can make this statement with a straight face. Name another site with tens of thousands of active users having this level of discussion without karma.

From what I've heard this was really sensitive to any changes in environment - temperature, vibration or possibly even air pressure.

All of which were likely to change where you were about to demonstrate your new mainframe to a delegation of important people! :-) IIRC it was even named "the general syndrome" in some places.
how do FOSS projects run by volunteer contributors hold their architecture together?

either one person is calling all the shots, or decisions are made through email discussions or irc or whatever forum they favor nowadays.

synchronous meetings are not required. if you consider that in a meeting everyone takes their turn, people respond to each other, and eventually maybe vote on decisions, all this can be done by email. it just takes a bit longer, and you have to factor that in your time planning.

not having meetings doesn't mean that people don't talk to each other.
