Diagnosis can be automated to an extent, but we're far from being able to automate the clinical observation tasks necessary to gather data to feed the diagnostic algorithm. Automating clinical observations will require huge advances in NLP, image recognition, and robotic manipulators that are many decades away at best.
But then don't you have to make your choice about whether no-value is an error when you return the value, rather than when you make the call?

With #try et al it's made obvious at the point the message is sent whether it'll be swallowed by nil (and that you're fine with this). To me this seems safer than having two classes of entities knocking round, one swallowing messages and one not, and no way to tell at a glance which is which.

It is a lot easier to find screens and beamers with HDMI input than mini-DP. Before that changes it is practically "Apple's own connector"
Yes, that is the real board on which actual Xiangqi is played.

The OP is an attempt to translate the game mechanics of Xiangqi into a chess-like design, to make it easier for chess aficionados to appreciate it.
802.11n can be pretty fast and I doubt you'd notice a difference vs a 10/100 network. Many gigabytes of video files get transfered OTA every day in my office.
For almost every processor architecture going to 64 bits slows things down due to increased memory usage since very few programs need 64 bit integer addition. However, in x86 the transition to 64 bit doubled the number of architectural registers to 16, and so actually resulted in a speedup.
I doubt it would harm you. I certainly don't expect to get headhunted through SO (my score is low 4-digits), but I will be putting the link on my CV - as I probably will my NH profile - I don't have any other online presence (no fb, no blog, no github, no li). And although my score isn't super-high, I don't spend a lot of time on the site. I'll ask a question from time to time, and a couple of times a week see if there's anything I can answer. Hopefully my profile will give a reasonable overview of my general competence.

OK... I'm really confused. So an RC Airplane is OK but one of these is not OK? How big are these things? What is the fundamental difference between this and an RC air plane with a camera attached? I see that UAVs aren't allowed except with special licenses but it's not clear to me what separates a UAV from the recreational RC Airplane? It isn't clear from the links provided. Is it a height limitation? Perhaps it's a line of sight limitation?
And with that the value of my iPad just jumped $100 or so. This one has been a long time coming..
Thanks, I'll have to try out the demo. I don't have an iOS device available, but I should try it out in the emulator. Also, when I touch a cluster, does the map zoom in and show the pins in the area?
How would that work? Surely the brightness of the screen (which I believe the sensor can see as it is at the top of the keyboard) is more than the sunlight. Maybe using the gyroscope/anti-drop, someone made a app-switcher that worked that way.
Sorry to belabor this but if we go agile, things could change quite rapidly.

Consider that within 10 years, we might be sending 52 private flights a year, containing robotic explorers, to various destinations in the solar system. One of them discovers valuable resources (e.g. gold, "precious metals", 1000 caret diamonds, etc). Now private industry has a reason to build a business in space. They need to get the resources back to earth. Private funding goes up exponentially for robotics, factories in space, and probably human space travel. VC money might even move from social to outer space. :-)
Fair enough. I honestly didn't know about the shortener issue. It does make sense.

As far as the other issue... I am not interested in speculation about whether someone thinks company(a) is or isn't 'evil'. I want to know what they are doing. Then I will decide what their morality is. Everyone here is just glossing over the 'facts'. With sensational headlines like "Apple IS tracking you", "Apple ISN'T tracking you", etc... All complete speculation and BS, because they honestly don't know. Which is fine if the company hasn't already been forthcoming about the 'facts'. Well, this article answers all the speculation. I understand you think it's misleading because Apple spoke on this topic 9 months ago. YOU'RE LATE, and that is the point of the article. Apple did respond to these allegations, the first time they came up, and you and everyone else seems to have forgotten. However, I will heed your advice in the future and I appreciate you bringing it to my attention. I hope you will acknowledge that this latest round of alzheimer's outrage fostered by the likes of CNN and FOX as well as HN, Reddit, and Digg. We are smarter than that. Hackers aren't supposed to buy into propaganda and false outrage.

> and don't hesitate even to shut down billion dollar apps (i.e., Fortnite).

It's fairly obvious that, given Epic was saying "you can pay $2 less to get the same amount of vbucks" that Apple was going to lose a huge portion of revenue from the App if they didn't pull it, and if they actually left it up, they'd have to allow every other app to institute third-party payment processors as well to not appear like they're playing favorites and the PR nightmare that would come from that.
Oh no! Hope you can get back to it soon.

It's not incredibly effective for the disasters that happen, no. It still may be the right approach, though.

There are many possible disasters. Being prepared for all of them takes all your time and resources - more than all, in fact. We don't have enough time and resources to prepare for all possible disasters. So we put more effort into preparing for the most likely ones, and sometimes one of the less likely ones gets us. Note that there are more "less likely" scenarios than there are "more likely" ones.

Also note that, after a disaster has occurred, it suddenly seems very probable, which makes it look like we mis-evaluated which risks were likely. On the other hand, sometimes we really do mis-evaluate or under-prepare. It's hard, in advance, to get the balance right. And even if we did, after a disaster we say "yeah, should have seen that one coming".
I’m not sure it makes sense to speak this broadly about efficacy, since there are probably variations in returns amongst different targeting groups and value props. Execution matters.

I’m also not sure if it matters whether they are actually effective. At least for the short term. If people believe they are effective, is there any difference in the dynamic?
>If Android follows suit (not guaranteed but iOS and Android often converge on features within a few versions of each other), then they are going to take another hit. Executives want to prevent this change in the interest of their personal wealth.

Google might be incentivized to do it, as doing so would harm the effectiveness of other ad networks without affecting their own (as long as the user has a Google account)
I've said this before too but it's not true because not all profits should always be paid out to stakeholders if the company is to survive longer-term. Even if it were true op isn't asking about increased earnings in his current role but in the broader labor market and, as someone else notes, op is at the tail of that distribution.
an alternative updating mechanism that doesn't directly expose IP of the updater?

a dht/blockchain mashup comes to mind, but really it just pushes the IP knowledge to knwoledge of some other intrinsic variable that can be used for fingerprinting.

the issuer of public information (an update) doesn't necessarily need to know who collects the information, it's just architected like that for most internet things.
For anyone trying to count calories, here's a tip that doesn't seem to be common knowledge:

Calculate your calories per day, then multiply by 7. That is your weekly budget. Don't budget by the day, there's no margin for error, and you'll hate your diet and stop doing it after a few weeks.

If your daily budget is 1,800 calories, your weekly budget becomes 12,600. Suddenly, having 400 calories of ice cream after a good week of working out and counting calories doesn't hurt and doesn't represent a quarter of your daily allowance. You can still have a normal day of meals with that dessert pay off, and still come in under your weekly budget if you've been planning or eating really light and lose weight.

Because at the end of the day, you have to take your psychology into account. Nobody can sustain eating boiled chicken and steamed broccoli for more than a few weeks.
> But I think some underestimate how soon the developers and programmers of the world will crater from "elite 10%/5%/1%" to something resembling median salary.

I generally agree with this. I think for the traditional programmer building apps and apis this begins to happen in 5-10 years. We'll essentially become mechanics. However, there is always the next front of technology that you can surf.

For millennia those on the forefront of technological progress have done well relative to the rest of people. This was due to having skills that were relatively rare, access to equipment that was uncommon or both. Blacksmiths, photographers, car mechanics, stock traders, etc. Programming in certain verticals will be added to that list.

But imo there is good news. Being able to create or deploy new technology in ways that creates or protects wealth will always be in demand. And the thing about programming is you are first-and-foremost a problem-solver. Couple that with technical math-based skills and you can bring immense value to most organizations.

If you are a "programmer"--I really don't like that term, but whatever. My advice would be to be trained in multiple disciplines across multiple verticals. Know how to look at a business or social problem and deduce it to its fundamental inputs/outputs so that you can then construct a solution that turns those inputs/outputs into the desired result.

Hand-wavy, but that really is the key to being valuable. Solve real problems.
There's a lot of good advice in this thread. One thing I'd like to suggest to anyone new to lifting is: get a trainer.

I spent a lot of years trying to get in shape, but never getting there, because I would hurt myself. I finally decided to get a trainer a few years ago for other reasons[1], but the biggest benefit has been a total lack of injury. Injuries often come from bad form, not working on small stabilizer muscles and/or over-doing it - a decent trainer will be able to correct for these cases. I'm almost 40 but I'm in as-good or better shape than I was in my late-teens because I've been consistent and working with someone who knows how to get good results.

A trainer does add to the expense, but at least for me, I'd rather pay more for a workout that I actually do regularly, than paying for a gym membership I can't use half the time because I'm injured.

[1] The other nice thing about a trainer is that they provide some accountability. It's much easier for me to blow off a workout day if I'm not also screwing up someone else's schedule/income.
I can't help but find this entire article flawed because he's basing his analysis on a man who went from Harvard to Google...they're both incredibly prestigious, so really the article is about going from a low satisfaction to a high satisfaction job, which is kind of a no-brainer.
Talent, determination and personal connection. If someone doesn't have all three, they're not a good match.

For cofounders an even equity split is the norm unless one founder brings some particular extra value. but no hard-and-fast rule really, basically just find a split that everyone agrees on.

Are you confusing North Korea with South Korea?
It sounds like there's a disconnect between the questions you're asking and the problem you're experiencing.

In fact, there's three separate things you address in your post.

1. When Facebook acquires a startup, how do they get the employees at said startup to keep working at Facebook after acquisition.

2. How does an established company like Facebook keep random developers from leaving for other jobs or to do their own startup.

3. How do I get developers to work at my late-stage startup? Am I offering enough equity?
Diaspora does a bad job of explaining their product. It is not a social network, but rather a open source software project for a standalone social networking application that I assume has the ability to interact with other Diaspora installs (called pods).

But you also did a bad job of reading the post. They are sending alpha invites out for people to use their current software themselves, and potentially contribute changes. Not join a social network called Diaspora.
"Our co-workers thought we were a bit odd," says Brettle, "but we assured them it was all in the name of science."

My heroes.
If you're interested in a project which is quite a bit farther along, Appleseed has been in development since 2004, and has a lot of completed features (honestly, more features completed than Diaspora even has on it's roadmap).

http://opensource.appleseedproject.org

A lot of times when people think about open source social networking, they think about it in the frame of reference of centralized start-ups: That you need to win over users and grow as big as possible.

That's not true, actually. You need to win over administrators, you need to convince them why they should run your software, that your software is flexible, well-written, stable, and infinitely customizable.

This is why Appleseed was written as a component-based MVC framework, with clear separation between logic and presentation, and a plugin architecture which allows extensibility, and even the ability to support multiple protocols concurrently.

We'll all be compatible in the end, but I think the winner will be the one which attracts third party developers and sysadmins, not the one which initially attracts the most users.

Like I've said before, users don't have to care what a Joomla or a Drupal is, and hype isn't nearly as important to open source as many seem to think.
Every Datacenter I've been in for more than a couple years, for the last 15 years has had a power outage (or two). AT&T, Qwest, Exodus, AIS (San Diego), Layer 42 (San Jose), Media Temple (Los Angeles). It's like cable-cuts on your circuit - they happen so reliably that you put these events into your business plan. If you need network redundancy, you always have two (diverse) circuits. If you need data center redundancy you always have two (diverse) data centers. These events happen so reliably that the surprise is when they _don't_ happen, not when they _do_ happen.

Plan for a minimum of one power outage every two-three years and you won't be disappointed.

I feel for the HE guys - back to back power outages has got to be killing them right now.
Yeah, I've seen that too, and it was breathtaking. But it's a long ways from that to a full-fledged touchscreen interface for an entire operating system. Pinch zoom isn't even the half of it.
It sounded pretty ominous to me even before you chimed in. If agriculture was hurt badly from one year to the next by a sudden bee die-off, it could make concerns about Peak Oil and The Recession look pretty minor in comparison.

This is the case, but this technique will not allow you to distinguish between my television which I have paid for, and that of my nonpaying neighbour which is 12" away on the other side of an internal wall, on the 20th floor of a towerblock with hundreds of televisions in it, from the street. Which is what the Television Licensing Authority (the BBC dont actually have any involvement in collection or enforcement) claim they can do.
Actually, legally, it is theft. The crime is taking the property from the store without their permission. Whether or not you intend to return in its original condition is beside the point.

No, that's not right. She can still publish her music on youtube either way. This is about signing up to the "monetisation" option where she can take some of the money from any third party video that ContentID says includes her content. She's currently using that service, and continuing to use it apparently requires signing up to the new agreement.

I'm not completely clear on this part, but I think she can still get ad revenue from videos that she uploads herself. The article is definitely talking about third party video uploads.

> San Francisco's quite a bit more wealthy, though - median household income upward of $73k vs $47k.

That $2k-ish per month is entirely eaten up by the cost of housing. Median rent for a 2BR in SF is $4,000/mo. Chicago is a little over half that. Not to mention much lower taxes than in California.
What is the difference between a portrait of a nebula and a photograph of a nebula?

One difference could be that a portrait could also refer to a painting, but I doubt there is some painter module attached to Hubble, knowing it is essentially a big camera in space, what makes this a portrait?

'Portrait' also leaves room for this being an artistic render, but I also doubt that somehow. My question is more about: why use the word 'portrait' when it leaves so much room for interpretation. Is it about humanising nebulae?

I don't know about Windows editors, but for web development in Linux that statement is absolutely true. Both Atom and Brackets don't even come close to SublimeText, at least yet.

Vim is nice, but some things are better done with the mouse. Selecting and moving text down a few lines is so much faster in ST. And there's a Vim plugin for it anyway, so you can have the benefits of both Vim controls and a good interface. ST really is a great editor and to get Vim even close in terms of functionality, it takes way too much time configuring it.
I'm not sure how they are supposed to prevent this. If you have access to the dns, you can change the record for the origin server that the cdn pulls from. Nothing "horribly wrong" with that.
My grandparents were farmers - and they've always had breakfast. They had to get up early to milk the cows. I don't know their exact morning routine, but they had breakfast before or after milking the cows in the morning (I would say before milking the cows).

I think breakfast works pretty well for a farmer's livestyle. So I wonder, if this is really the big exception.

And there was always a break in the morning (at 9 o'clock) from a "second breakfast" - or a small lunch break.
I messed up - I meant 2001-02-03 04:05:06 , in which case 2:05PM would be format "4:05PM", (or 16:05) . All that'd happen would be the year and seconds swap order in the "123456" format - but as I said, it's a minor quibble.
I think the concept is "MC" (of MVC) as a service, you should make this more clear. This is difficult, because the people who need this the most are also the people how know the least about structural design patterns.

It is unclear to me, how the products are inserted and how payment processing works. From a technical innovators perspective this is not the main feature, to the end-user it is. You should show the developer how his customers can insert products.

I am not sure if your target audience (someone who knows Python and Jinja2) is a good fit. Seems like someone who nows HTML+CSS and a bit of PHP would need the service more. I would therefore use terms these people would understand and offer technologies they understand (drop the command-line fu, offer FTP-Upload or even Web-based Upload etc).

The pricing is unclear. I imagine Boutique + Pricing + Storage add up to the Basic Price. You should drop the prices in the second table and use a syntax like "first x GB included (additional cost x GB cost x $)".
