Whatever she has achieved doesn't make the opinions of anyone, including yours, null by default because of some random metric of success. According to you, we should not criticize Ballmer, because he's the head honcho at Microsoft, even though he's obviously a mental case. According to you we should not criticize Jobs because he's the Apple god, even though it's obvious that the amount of control over the app store is a curse in disguise (and don't try to spin that the wrong way, I'm writing this on a mac and own an iPad... I'm as much a fan of most of Apple's products as the next guy).

Not every capable person becomes a multimillionaire and manages a big company, the same way not every dumb fucker ends up in the slums asking for cash on traffic lights. A lot of really smart people end up in the gutter for a variety of reasons, the same way a lot of imbeciles end up being millionaires through good luck or the fact that they where born into money or society. Kilimanjaro may have not been in the Yahoo CEO list, but his opinion is one shared with a great amount of people, and it's insulting not only towards him, but towards anyone who has an 'opinion' to say something that implies that their thoughts are not important because they're not the CEO of a big company. What can't I voice my opinion that someone is doing a lousy job without someone chastising me because "you're not on the CEO to be list". Bartz may be a tech superstar and all (and hell she deserves the respect that she deserves) and has achieved more than 99.9% of us have achieved, but she's also bringing down Yahoo in a torrent of fire.

That being said, I agree with you. I don't think she lacks 'balls'. Quite the contrary, I think she has lot's of 'balls' and the decisions she's making are sure as hell not easy to make. I also think they're the wrong decisions, and I think I'm entitled to say so... even though I'm not in the "Next Yahoo CEO" list.
Why would it be? It's just not designed for this sort of job.
Grammer/spelling check needed but otherwise good analysis. basically to me, Tumblr does not suck if it will stay on all the time.
I think there's no talent there because:

1. I never knew a Palestinian developer on any mailing list or other forum.

2. I never knew of any software or technological product developed in Palestine.

3. I never knew of any notable developer or software developed in ANY of the Muslim states in the middle east, and that's a huge evidence given that there are >100 million Muslims there.
And while you are at it, make sure there is a clearly highlighted way of contacting you on your blog (both startup blogs and personal blog).

If you don't want to give out your email address or create a second email address just for the blog, offer a contact form at least.
If you are risk averse, then no.

Otherwise, it is a well known fact that disregarding [or exempting oneself from] the law can have more gains [sometimes even if you get caught]. You get a competitive advantage by exploiting the exceptions [if there aren't any, then you make yourself one].

Quite bearable if you view the sites on a mobile browser or just change your browser's user agent.
ARM's profit last year was 170 million pound last year, that $68 million per quarter vs intel's $3.2 billion.

There are of course the big chip manufacturers ,but also they don't make much money. Qualcomm made around $200 million per quarter.

It would take a huge amount of growth for this markets to become financially meaningful to intel. probably not gonna happen.

As for future growth , i think there could be plenty of long term growth in servers, alot of growth in robotics and maybe some in netbooks/desktops for the third world. With the move to the cloud, almost everything would be done on the server, and i don't see some limit to the need to new valuable processor-hungry applications.

Intel's real problem is the future competition on the server, both from arm in the form of microservers and multicore server chips, and both from others like tilera and gpu manufacturers.

The main worrying point , is that usually whenever intel won against disruptors, it was in markets when windows was valuable. now that windows is becoming obsolete, can intel win ? can intel be profitable ?
I get this in the UK. I've never managed to read a gawker article.
There are two (relevant) tables in the SQL Lite database. One is called CellLocation, the other is called WiFi Location.

The data collected includes:

* Timestamp (in seconds since Jan 2001 GMT)
* Latitude
* Longitude
* HorizontalAccuracy
* Altitude
* VerticalAccuracy
* Speed
* Course
* Confidence

The above are self-explanatory. More opaque (to me, anyway) are the following:

* PRIMARY
* MNC
* LAC
* CI
* MCC

If anyone has knowledge of what these mean, please post.
Is it really that simple? Overthrow your government and you get to cancel daylight savings time? We ought to try that in the USA.
I'm amazed in general at the amount of conformity in people surrounding the whole topic of weddings. Not just the ring (btw, diamond rings for engagement is an American cultural thing as far as I know, in Europe the props are different), but the whole dress code and the mandatory steps involved in the event. Wasn't the future supposed to free us from such conventions? I find it funny especially with people who laugh at religious functions as superstition, and then they embrace a totally arbitrary set of made up rules.
i don't know many "normals" that take desktop screenshots...but i get your point.
yes u r absolutely rite...and may be that is way they use ipad to increase there clients .. :P
That looks like a very interesting input method -- thanks for publishing it! One question though: how do I get that onto my Android -- do I need to include it into the OS, recompile everything and flash the device, or can i install it in an existing Android?
I would like to visualize this in an interactive time-series, maybe with yelp/dopplr/wikipedia annotations plus the ability to add notes. nokia once had a great UI for stuff like this called LifeBlog, but if memory serves it was windows-only and is no longer around.

This could obviously have been done with the 4s API but i felt it would be quicker to do it the way i've shown here.
I get 113 out of 160 on my Safari browser from html5test.com.
The company I work for recently won a contest put on by Lyft offering free Lyft Line rides to and from work for an entire week. I live in Lower Pac Heights and work in the Financial District and take a couple different Muni routes to and from work. I'll take either the 2 or the 3 heading in and the 38L heading back; the 38L is way too crowded in the morning by the time it gets to my closest stop. Morning commute usually takes around 15 minutes and afternoon takes around 10.

So, my commute isn't bad by any means but I decided to give Lyft Line a shot to see if I could do any better. The first day I tried hailing one in the morning, the app hung up looking for drivers; it said 1 minute to match with a driver but I waited 3 before quitting the app and deciding to take Muni. That afternoon, I tried again but ran into the same issue. The next afternoon, I was finally able to line up a ride but had to wait 10 minutes for the driver to get to me. Once he did and we were on our way, I had the joyful experience of sitting in traffic for blocks on end while watching Munis zip by in the designated lanes beside us. Not including wait time, the ride took around 20 minutes (double my normal commute time).

I'm sure there are some routes for which Line is a better option than public transportation, but I personally have a much better experience on Muni than I did with Line. I get why they're focused on rush hour; a service like Line requires a critical mass of people to use the app concurrently in order to make it work. But, the downside of this is that the times when it reaches this point are the times when traffic is the worst and public transportation offers a superior alternative in many cases. We'll see if this ends up taking off, but I know I won't be using it for my commute. Maybe this would be better suited for one-off events like Outside Lands, Giants games etc. but I'd imagine they'd run into the same problems.

Dear Lord Prescott,

On Monday you have the opportunity to oppose a bill forcing ISPs to hold excessive amounts of private information in the hope some will be useful in the fight against crime and political crime.

This information may indeed be useful, but allowing only police and intelligence services to access it steps down the wrong path.

Please consider opposing this bill until sufficient steps can be put in place to allow full and unfettered access to everyone's data - by everyone.

A kingdom of the blind policed by the sighted is not free. A kingdom where all have eyes is equal, and can strive towards free.

Yours sincerely,

Paul R Brian
Yet. If we steal enough of the MPAA's thunder they might lobby congress for some new laws... In 10 years a whole new generation will be arguing on the internet about the morality of stealing ones thunder.
What a ridiculous clickbait headline from the EFF. The truth is buried 7 paragraphs down:

The amendments announced on Thursday will be formally included into the bill on Monday, in a committee meeting that was not planned to include a vote. The Lords will then have two more minor opportunities to debate the content of the bill before it is passed onto the elected House of Commons in its entirety for what is expected to be a simple up/down vote. Britain's members of parliament are currently distracted as they prepare for nationwide elections in May, which means it is highly likely that a major anti-terrorism bill like this will collect enough votes to pass.
"An alternative point of view is that the Maker culture is basically arts and crafts for men ..." Yes ... because of course making is for boys and "arts and crafts" is for girls. [Sigh]
Yes although arguably dumps just as many into the valley and NYC
I have no affiliation with AppSumo or GinzaMetrics. I just thought people might be interested in a great deal from a YC company.
>What % of spam sites are wrapped in AdSense? Greater than 5%? Greater than 50%?

It wouldn't matter if it was 100%. Google apply pressure via their ranking algorithm to encourage quality content which in turn relies incoming links and to a lesser extent well crafted pages. Basically Google don't primarily themselves judge the quality - that would be futile with so many pages, they allow the net to do it, that's the whole point of PageRank to attain a metric for quality without actually measuring the quality per se.

On the subject of "spam sites" - spam is unsolicited content delivered to you, that's not possible unless you're talking about popup/popunders. You actively seek out the sites.

Now if the top rankings on Google are unwanted poor quality sites and Google are advertising spamily and not flagging malware, etc., then I think you'd have a point.
The taste varies quite a lot between dried and fresh nettle. I like dried better, but you should try both.

If you are into nettles, there's also the world nettle eating championships in Dorset.
Most of SE Asia is in love with KFC. In Shanghai they're everywhere.
I'm curious if there are more up-to-date recommendations for his light regulation technique, linked at the beginning of the article:

For example, the "NatureBright Per3 Deluxe Wake Up Light" recommended in the 2012 update is no longer available on Amazon.
HttpOnly, and, as far as I know, HTTP-only cookies can't be injected if you use HTTPS.

* HttpOnly restricts all access to document.cookie in IE7, Firefox 3, and Opera 9.5 (unsure about Safari)

* HttpOnly removes cookie information from the response headers in XMLHttpObject.getAllResponseHeaders() in IE7. It should do the same thing in Firefox, but it doesn't, because there's a bug.

* XMLHttpObjects may only be submitted to the domain they originated from, so there is no cross-domain posting of the cookies.
Datashovel, man, I don't understand how being "separated" could be considered distinct from being married- it's a marital status. It's likely that they're not looking for that variable- 'married' is a binary value, why would one need to clarify?
...and it's completely pointless when your browser enables DNT by default, putting us back to square one.
Erlang is written in C, and the latest version is 456,000 lines of C. You might want to double think your reliance on such unstable technology.
Nice write up! I've always found it difficult to keep on top of diet (much more than exercise), so I've ended up using a collection of techniques / tools to stay on track, including a calorie-counting app, intermittent fasting, smart scale, a fitness tracker and macro-nutrient goals.

I also find actually inputting calories per meal helps me remain aware about food choices, while intermittent fasting (12pm - 8pm eating time) has drastically reduced snacking, because in those 8 hours I want filling / healthy meals rather than light (..dangerous) snacks.

I've never quite managed to routinely pre-prepare meals, now I'm inspired to have another crack at it.
You should look into Racket. Apart from getting some momentum due to the merger with Chez, it has a relatively big academic community backing it up.

And it's very different from other Lisps in the sense it's trying hard to be an ecosystem for language-oriented programming, which is probably taking the idea of macros to a new level.

I've used Common Lisp and Clojure for many years, but Racket looks more and more appealing to me.
I wish this didn’t happen. They make it sound like they want to mess with mods already...
>The heat death of universe is true based on current state of our understanding. Nothing says that it won't change in next million years - that's a monumentally long time in exponential rate of human progress.
>We've been wrong about a lot of things in the past and if people had made up their mind about the meaning of life before Kepler, we would have thought that we are the center of the solar system. Therefore, we are the most important thing in the Universe.

If you were making the argument that the universal rate of expansion isn't necessarily static, I'd perhaps agree with you (there is evidence this functioned differently in the early universe). The 2nd law of thermodynamics on the other hand, which is what will lead to universal heat death, is extremely unlikely to be variable.

Without the 2nd law of thermodynamics, the universe would be so radically different that it would be effectively an entirely new universe at that point.
Judges, Juries and lawyers aren't scientists.

Monsanto doesn't trust those three groups of non-scientists to think like scientists, especially when the prosecution is going to be pulling on the heartstrings.

The decision you've made is to trust a party of non-scientists (Monsanto lawyers) who work in a non-scientific field (jury trials) over the actual body of evidence built by actual scientists doing actual science. Perhaps because the science doesn't support your position.
I know a doctor who works in pediatric oncology. (She is a singer in a metal group, too.) And a nurse from the same pediatric oncology department.

Neither is a sociopath and both told me that as of today, the job is much more rewarding than even 20 years ago. Most of their little patients leave the hospital in remission and deaths have steadily gone down during their careers. It is almost sacrilegious to say that aloud, but childhood cancer seems to be inching towards a "mostly solved problem" status. Contemporary long term survival of kids diagnosed with cancer is hovering around 80 per cent.
Not at 10x the price, even including maintenance.

There's only so much of the Internet you can route through a small number of points, before it starts to fail.
Manipulation in this context means modifying the results after the search algorithm ranks the relevant results for the query. A good recent example of this on Google was all during March Madness, any searches for "NCAA tournament schedule, "March Madness schedule" etc. would deliver the women's basketball tournament schedule (and results) above the men's, despite all of the interest being around the men's games.

Google would say this was a noble thing, hoping to remind people that women's basketball exists, knowing how many queries were pouring in non-stop to find out what time a specific men's game was on.

That is manipulation. You see the same "noble lies" surrounding political, news, & covid related searches as well.
I guess you could just provide the coin-site-or-whatever with the ID of the tweet instead of the content.
I’ve somewhat shifted to the no-shampoo cult.

I don’t know about the allegations of the lawsuit, but something feels off to me: She clearly (based on her LinkedIn and personal website) went from a non-technical role to a role at Microsoft that explicitly requires someone to know how to code.
The highest capacity 18650 cell, the NCR18650G, clocks in at around 75mAh/g.
Ok. I think we are on the same page. I have never seen a detox death either. I have heard that benzo's are the hardest to withdraw from, and it does sound pretty frightening. For a lot of alcoholics the hardest thing to quit is nicotine. The really scary cases are the folks who start taking Valium to keep from shaking until they start drinking.
I work in enterprise software, trying to improve it one company at a time, and the biggest niche I see for excel is bypassing existing security mechanisms or procedures. We tend to expose data to users in a secure manner based on roles or authorities. But once users can export the data into excel, all of those security mechanisms are bypassed and they can send the data to other people or take it home.

I've even seen instances where excel exports are used as disaster recovery mechanisms.
The first set of demos in the video, anyway. At the end they show the results of a special technique that uses 60fps video.
A wealthy software developer produces a lot of value in an hour, whereas a poor barista does not. If the developer lives 10 minutes from work while the barista commutes for 1 hour, the developer has more time to spend on productive activities. The world is then better off.

This is of course completely tangential to the main point, namely that they both can live in SF if we build more housing.
Doesn't the company have to run an "approved" share option scheme to get all of the tax benefits? I've been offered "unapproved" options before (not recently though) and they would have been pretty ruinous as I think I would have to paid income tax on them and CGT on any gains.
People think worker organizing is a sign of worker discontent. Sometimes it is. But mostly it's a sign of worker energy. It's a sign that people care about improving their workplace and care a ton about what their company stands for and represents and want a say in it.

Workers LEAVING a company is a sign of worker discontent, especially when they could get a job elsewhere.
You’re looking at history through a very Western lens. In other cultures, some substances were ritualistic and culturally important.
SML has an insanely good optimizing compiler, MLton.

With some backing SML could be the language of choice for safe and efficient applications.
How sad is it that Microsoft is more open to supporting game mods than Mojang when Mojang promised a modding API was just around the corner for years and owed a lot of their success to the modders they seemed to spite.

The funny thing is that before the buyout (and maybe after, I don't know) Mojang's DRM was an abysmal failure. They'd obfuscate their Java binaries in a vain effort to prevent cracks but every cracked version out there would just patch the launcher and run the game unmodified. Cracked launchers would run updated versions just fine and when Mojang actually tried to check for a cracked launcher within the game itself they had a rash of false positives triggering on actual paying customers and nothing but a minor road bump for the pirates. The only thing obfuscating the game binaries did was force MCP to put in a mountain of effort to building the tooling and mappings to deobfuscate it so that mods could be developed. The entire MCP project should not have even been necessary. All this for some crappy attempt at obfuscating their binaries that never even worked against pirates in the first place.

At least a silver lining is they finally have data packs and command blocks.
Yeah, I've gone back and forth on this one. My therapist says "for every door that closes, far many more open", and that has been true for the most part - but still those closed doors suck.

Exiting my religion was a fate worse than death. I grew up on the culty side that had a ton of hero worship, I was always proselytizing, I gave money I didn't have to the church, and was so deeply embedded (or it was so deeply embedded in me) that it was excruciating to exit.

I lied for a long time after I stopped believing. A little to myself, and a lot to everyone else, but my devoutly religious partner knew from day one, and thank goodness we were able to talk about it (kind of). But I sang the song and danced the dance, but I couldn't keep up the "multiple identities" aspect of it all.

I'm not going to pretend that I understand what it's like to be queer, as I'm not - but I for the first time had an experience that turned some of the sympathy to empathy as I struggled with the way people saw me and them loving me for something I haven't let them in on.

I was diagnosed with PTSD last year from the whole thing, and am treating it with antidepressants and Ketamine therapy, but I have a lot of work to do before I can say that I'm happier after leaving.

Would I leave again if I had to? Yeah. I don't think happiness is a solid metric to base your life after, so I measure on "was it worth it" and the answer is always yes.

And bro, the earth was 7000 years old, get your facts straight /s.
Earth's surface area = 5.1e14 square meters. Give each of 5.1e12 same-sized patches an integer identifier (one way or another): that's 8.3 base-34 digits (disallowing 'I' and 'O'). If you detect all single-character substitution errors, that rounds up to 10 characters -- oh, well.

(This kind of scheme would get you better worst-case resolution with your 10 characters. I'm not sure what it is for the posted code.)
Hm, it is too well articulated (people on LSD have trouble to explain even approximately their state of mind), and too precise match to Vedanta philosophy, that I have suspicion that you inherit this formulation either directly from Vedanta / Yoga / Sankhya or from people interested in eastern culture (as hippies and enthusiasts of "mind-expansion" in 60-ies), and then decided their drug experience was exactly this.
Land in the city is a scarce resource. You can have a very cheap house in Siberia. Will you move there? I doubt.
