The fact that they don't like or trust the US does not mean they also don't want peace. If your idea of peace however is the US antagonizing in the region, (Iran's backyard if you will) and Iran disarming and sitting on their ass watching the US surround them, without any regional allies, then no I don't think Iran is after that, I also don't think it has anything to do with wanting peace.
But the generalization of the point removes the point I was referring to. I'm not going to argue that live sports are popular for a reason, just that live watching a large number of people attending protests is less so.

True, they are different probably because this (the Japanese announcement) is from Sony Corporation, and the link in English is probably from Sony Corporation of America.
Thanks for the wonderful bit.
Thanks a lot... exact answer to my Q.
sure. it's in the list.
Your comment is making clear Apple does a great job letting you believe this. Your statement about Smart phones is just plain false. Samsung alone is outnumbering iPhones. Apple is zigging best with the iPad.

But then again other tablets are not a joke. There are some really good ones on the market and a lot of people are happy using them. And Microsoft did not gave up, they just did not believe in tablets. They believe in smartphones and released WM7.

MP3 players.. well ofcourse they sell a lot of them, but Creative and other brands still sells a lot of them too.

It's very simple: people who are having a nice bank account buy Apple, all the others buy something else.

Apple is a great brand, but it's stupid to say nobody cares about something other than Apple.
Can you explain how it kept you above waters?

Did it make you a better developer?

I know C and implementing a new scripting language for sure doesn't sound easier than using an existing one
Good Job! This seems to improve productivity.
I just checked this on google, and it turns out he did at least some sim training/testing with Ferrari. I just remember a lot of the interviews/press conferences where he talks about how much he hates them. Not sure if they can still manage to get him in one at work though.

There's multiple movies and the original manga, too.
I feel that the solution to the issue you raise is to reform property tax in CA, not to stick with Prop 13.

Prop 13 definitely doesn't benefit people who don't own real estate because property owners have an incentive not to sell: they can keep their lower tax rate and their expensive home! This restricts supply and raises property prices.
What makes you think the savings rate is lower in the cities? You might not even have a job in the first place outside the city
Golden Gate Park has plenty of room.
Decreasing guns does little when impunity is high.

My country, Mexico, has very strict gun laws, yet lots of guns are smuggled from USA, specially Texas. Civilians rarely have guns, but serious criminals have too many. Low life criminals still make do without guns, they will stab you with a Philips screwdriver if you resist being mugged.

Impunity is the real problem, guns are the second.
A few decades ago homosexuality was a mental illness, global cooling was going to kill us all soon, and a healthy diet was a pyramid based on eating a ton of grains. Do you want to live in a world where people arguing against those points of view were prosecuted for "knowing purposely spreading misinformation?" Because that's the world you are advocating.
I knew somebody working on an employee brain wave startup once, except it was to monitor (and help with) stress. My readings would probably be pretty high just from having to wear the thing

not personally an early adopter when it comes to note taking apps, but might try this out.
GhostWriter is more basic than others, which some may consider a good thing. I tried it on Arch for a bit since there is a package in the official repos.

I however prefer just using Atom with Markdown Preview Plus. It has a ton of features built in with sane extensions, or you can integrate it with Pandoc:

I'm sure VS Code has something similar, but only from non-trusted third parties.
If you're concerned enough about email privacy that you're going to wipe your computers for keyloggers, why in the world would you ever grant a SaaS access? That's just asking for trouble.
Seconding webfaction.Been with them over a year. Have 3 small Django apps running and it is a breeze to set up. The support is above and beyond. I was trying to use a python script that needed had a dependency on a python library that had a dependency on a specific version of a c library. I posted my problem in the forum and got step by step command line instructions to get that going.
Haha, you beat me to it! :(
It should be back up and running soon. You'd think 1GB of RAM would be enough to handle a few thousand hits to serve a static page.

EDIT: The server is still having issues.
>If you can get to one domain but not others on a VPS account, it's likely not the VPS provider's fault...

Yeah, was gonna say - a VPS provider's job is to make sure you have a running box and a good pipe to it. This is almost surely a configuration issue on the VPS and not the provider's fault.
If you sign up during beta, they give you a lifetime discount (chosen randomly) when you start paying. When I did it, the max discount was 30%, but they might have increased the discount since then.
Thanks. The free beta is only for US users, I'm based in the UK.
Chatroulette is not going to be a viable long term business.

It does, however, tell us two things:

1) A lot of men seem to like to show there penis to people (especially girls)
2) Girls dont like to see random men's penises

Square that circle (e.g. make the men pay and pay the girls to watch) and you will be on a million dollar idea.
Wow, that really sucks. I love both sites, and FM in particular has been around - and been a big part of the open source world - for what feels like forever. If Freshmeat really goes away, that feels like the end of an era. :-(

That said, here's an opportunity for somebody who wants to put together a new clone site... Maybe featuring the best parts of Freshmeat + Ohloh?
I'm afraid this is common. We better find out what the heck is going on with that IP. I've enquired with Slicehost about it, and we'll see if they get back to us.
Imagine buying hardware where the manufacturer has to explicitly permit you to run certain software on it. No thanks...
It's simply a form of control. You can't reason around it because it's not meant to be reasoned with, only submitted to. The #1 red flag in any rotten organization is the punishment of inquiry. Questions are a threat when there is something to hide.
He would have lost that one, too. It was hubris—but it sold, and it is part of his legacy. He showed younger colleagues how to chase grand theories and best-selling books. Hawking is not the only physicist guilty of hawking.

The theory of everything is a false idol. Why should the universe, which grows more gloriously complex the more we see, be reducible to one set of equations and formulae? The point of science is not the holy grail but the quest—the searching and the asking. Let us hope there will never be a final theory.

Can't understand why people hope there won't be a final theory. Sounds demotivating and grim.

Solving that puzzle will help with other puzzles.
Why do we still buy macs? Apple can pull the plug anytime. Kudos yo the huge undertaking but I personally think we wouldn't need this type of gargatuan effort if we just refused to buy macs without linux support. Why support such a closed system?, enlighten me...
Poor monkey. It should belong to the forest or other natural environment it was took from. I don't get it why there are still tests run on animals. The first what technology should bring is a replacement for every animal test subject.
I only have one, and it's for a rather niche use: fixing incorrect or missing h264/h265 bitstream metadata without re-encoding, for example:

Does that really matter? The product makes more errors on dark skin.
All you did is suggest a reason for this fact. How does that change anything?
My mistake again. I misread what was meant by "forcibly rape". I took forcibly to mean he was being forced. However, there are many other things in the report detailing out torture and abuse of prisoners. The point I made stands and is correct. We torture people and the nation, for the most part, doesn't care.

The distinction is meaningless in a moral sense. Our actions are morally reprehensible. I wasn't proposing a solution. I was merely stating facts. We send people to Iraqi security forces knowing they will be tortured. This is reprehensible.

Using your analogy, one must first determine the cables are tangled before a solution is sought. Americans aren't demanding a solution because they aren't aware of it or just don't care.
What's happening here is that Customs is an unsecured area, because everyone has just picked up their luggage. He's proceeding through a secured area to get out of the airport. Thus, the re-screening, and probable re-checking of bags and all that.
I did the same. We're launching another site soon, so it may work as an experiment there. $17 is impossible to say no to, even if it never gets used.

Although I have to wonder why $17? Seems rather arbitrary.
It seems to me not a lot is going on from users point of views (features), did I miss something?
Interesting perspective. I'm a "one dude" on EC2 and geeze I feel dangerous at times.... I haven't had any spectacular failures, but I've certainly had some close calls.

I'd love to hear more about how you've leveraged GAE.
I suppose you could always create a no-canvas plugin, as well as one that stops <video> and <audio> tags from playing. Sure, it wont be as simple as striping out any embeded .swf's in the page, but that's not to say it isn't possible. Where there's a demand, there will be a plugin.

And hey, there's always links.
Twitter is arguably not a normal company. They have mindshare that is worth a lot more than Random Internet Startup.
Sure. Transactions of authority are those things we all know are there -- these stepping stones towards building a relationship.

Okay, first, "authority" has cultural baggage, because "authority" sounds formal and institutional and the thing you're supposed to question. But it also embraces opinion, influence and respect. It's the same word as trustedness, so if you want you could use that, but I'll stick with authority.

So on one side, there is some measure of vulnerability, as you said. It could be very small, like asking a question. It's anything that contradicts the thesis that "I know what's right, I can do it and I don't need you." Asking a question, asking for help, offering an opinion for validation, revealing one's own flaws or willingly showing incompetence are all acts which negate that thesis.

On the other side, there needs to be a willingness to accept the truthfulness of the transaction and the responsibility of bearing the costs involved in completing the transaction. If it's something I can do that makes me feel good about myself, helps someone I love and doesn't cost me much, I am going to be thrilled to do it. If it's someone I don't know asking me to go buy booze for them in a 7-Eleven with a $100 bill, not so much.

But trust is the number one factor, and the first step up in trust is huge. Going from zero (complete stranger) to ten (decent person I don't know) is a lot easier than going from ten to twenty. That's why first impression, and particularly the first transaction of authority, is huge, because if you go to negative ten first, you are in a serious hole. If you're a website, that's when the user goes for the back button anyway.

Understanding how to build a relationship is understanding how and when to handle these transactions of authority. This is why rejection therapy is a useful exercise -- the one who gets rejected knows how far to jump next time better than the one who never skips a step.

This also provides a framework for understanding what are otherwise "social hacks" as constructive, proper and polite ways to interact. It's useful to know that "can I cut in line so I can make some copies" is not just exploiting some neurobug but offering a different transaction -- Can I offer you the status of "someone who helped me out when I was unable to do something all by myself" in exchange for a cut in line?

You can even argue Ben Franklin was being polite rather than a jerk when he asked to borrow a book from someone he wanted to build a relationship with. Even though he didn't really care about the book, and it was a tactic, he was offering a polite transaction and was building a friendly relationship, which he at least always saw as a greater good. I'm not sure about that one, but you can at least see the broader context this way.

Transactions of authority are what build a relationship not just between two people but in communities. Similarity is nice, but even small transactions of authority are better.
Reliability and uptime are not subjective questions. Linode uses good data centers. None of them are particularly better than the others. All data centers occasionally experience downtime; Fremont was just unlucky this time.

The only thing that matters is location — both for latency to you and your users and, perhaps, if you dislike US or GB laws.

The only other difference is that the Atlanta data center used to block numerous ports (most notably 6667), but that doesn’t seem to be the case anymore.

Scalable content creation has resulted in a few links but not nearly as many as I was expecting prior to doing it. Most of my cards are worthy of consumption but not worthy of telling your friends about, and getting a link out of a teacher takes real work. The exceptions are the Dolch sight word pages. Who knew, right?

I have a client project which blends linkable content and consumable content in an interesting fashion. I'll show you after it launches.
Cool. Sort of like a more detailed link swap... startups could offer discount packages with each other, offer each other as up-sells, etc. For certain markets I think it would work really, really well.

When I'm ready to ship my next project, I would definitely use a site like this if it existed.
This makes a lot of sense. I was living in Seattle during the big debate over how to replace the seismically unsafe viaduct (tunnel vs. roadway). The viaduct runs one block from the waterfront and is prime real estate and I don't know why they couldn't allow real estate development above the tunnel to fund the tunnel and bring additional state revenues. There's enough room in that space to build dozens of new skyscrapers.
A great quote from Joel Spolsky:

> There’s a strong culture in Silicon Valley that requires you to jam a lot of programmers into a big open space, despite a preponderance of evidence that private offices are far more productive, something which I’ve covered repeatedly on this site. I’m not really getting through to people, I don’t think, because programmers kind of like being social, even if it means they are unproductive, so it’s an uphill battle.

I’ve even heard programmers say things like, “Yeah, we all work in cubicles, but everyone works in a cubicle—up to and including the CEO!”

“The CEO? Does the CEO really work in a cubicle?”

“Well, he has a cubicle, but actually now that you mention it there’s this one conference room that he goes to for all his important meetings…”

Mmmm hmmm. A fairly common Silicon Valley phenomenon is the CEO who makes a big show of working from a cubicle just like the hoi polloi, although somehow there’s this one conference room that he tends to make his own (“Only when there’s something private to be discussed,” he’ll claim, but half the time when you walk by that conference room there’s your CEO, all by himself, talking on the phone to his golf buddy, with his Cole Haans up on the conference table).

I live in China, and I disagree with your statement, but I can understand why you think like that.

Usually when you reside in a country for a long time, you don't think the government as a whole, big, flat thing. The size of the it is gigantic, so that anything you do, you might be interacting with government at some level. I'm not judging this but giving you an image of what it's like living in China, salt, gas, newspaper, movies, all the crazy stuff, are controlled by different departments of government.

But here we are talking about the internet, the thing that Chinese government cannot control, they tried, they tried hard to stop people from accessing free, open internet, from playing foreign games, from using foreign softwares, but much of them were failed. There were years that Chinese Expansions of the World of Warcraft were years late than the rest of the world, and yet, Diablo III is still not public, the stated reasons were, erotic and violence content, on the other hand, there are more bizarre webgames on Chinese market, trolling millions of millions of money from players pocket, and of course they are poorly designed, some of them even has copyright infringement.

With this event (DDoSed Github),the message is quite clear, China wants to fork their own internet, for their own people. This is certainly a very high "degree of control over their citizens."
Having the top of the cream, Google/FB can allow themselves to have their engineers' performance be half of what these engineers can potentially produce. Too bad for the rest of us as our employers look at Google/FB and say "we want that success too" and make open floor offices too...
Many of us Chinese developers have already equipped with VPNs and tunnels as a daily productivity tool. It seems that the purpose of the gov'nt is to block access from less tech-savvy users, which greatfire and nytimes-cn provide.
China has no plausible deniability for anything at all, because it is run by a bunch of Communist cheats who censor the internet and violently put down any dissent. Practically any reasonable action taken by the US against China would not properly be seen as a war provocation.

Lots of people (and governments) hate the US and would call it a war provocation... but they wouldn't be right and generally, the opinions of scum don't actually matter and should just be ignored.
True, will contact my juniors right away.
Microsoft didn't need to do any "innovating." They just needed to adhere to existing and emerging standards. Also, Microsoft needs to seriously stop using that word "innovation,"because the more they talked about it, the less they actually did. It got to the point that Microsoft fooled themselves into thinking that everything they did was innovation.
Hmm, interesting problem. I was a telecom engineer but got into a data analyst research position.
Here's a write-up about a Neural Net which was used to win a Kaggle image classification challenge, they did a lot of transformations on the input data to a) prevent overfitting b) provide invariance. Some other cool tricks mentioned there, too.

Have you seen recent Volvo, BMW and Mercedes systems? They all have good lane keeping and adaptive cruise / stop & go for several years now. And I'm sure there are many more that I'm not aware of.
Doesn't take much to put you off an idea, does it? You do realize that quite a bit of the security measures one takes to undergo travel by air is "because terrorism", right? And that's also why they scramble jets at the first sign of oddity? Countries have rules that planes must follow if they want to fly in their airspace, and many of them have consequences if those rules are not followed. I can see that being an inconvenience to some, but c'est la vie.
'deserves to be in prison' does not imply 'deserves terrible living conditions' So most of your comment is wasted.

As far as whether punishment 'makes sense', that depends on what moral system you use. I wouldn't treat it as so obvious.
I'm not sure why you assume a switch to VoIP will help in that regard - in practical terms that means the SIP protocol for the voice (and SMS) signalling. While SIP is going to be the way forward, the specs are really full of ambiguity and not that well though out features. Most commercial vendors of SIP servers include full scripting languages in order for the admins to "normalize" the protocol in order to try to smooth over incompabilities - I can guarantee you that when phones are released in the wild with a SIP stack the telco hasn't tested, things will stop working until they've implemented workarounds for the SIP flavor of the day.

No account for inflation? No account for the rising costs in healthcare, and diminishing returns on that "investment"? No account for the fact that 35 years ago the proportion of economic active people to retired ones was completely different?

If you are going to dismiss a (very middle class, by social standards) dude, at least you should do a little bit more than hand-waving.
The only thing I miss is an indicator that I actually did hit the upvote button and didn't accidentally downvote someone.

I have under a page of code with Scrapy for simple projects, and more advanced features when I need them.

Sometimes I'm stuck littering the DOM with random <div> or <span> tags for conditionals and whatnot in various templating engines.

Works great with Angular SPAs. Our web UI is actually an Angular SPA hosted on Netlify and using our API.

You can easily setup a rewrite rule to serve your index.html instead of giving 404's so it works with history push state and we also just added support for integrating with services like prerender.io or brombone for SEO.
