"If I understand it right, the core of our disagreement seems to be that I consider everyone who wants to move somewhere a stakeholder who should be able to vote, and you only consider people who already are somewhere."

I don't know if that's the core of our disagreement but I certainly do disagree with that.

I think that I need a new term - I continue to use the word "stakeholder" but I am open-minded to the idea that someone who works in a place or consumes services in a place ... or even vacations in a place could be considered a stakeholder, of sorts.

I, on the other hand, am trying to distinguish people who have skin in the game - who have dedicated their life energies and life savings to a particular community.

We need to draw that line somehow and I think the purchase of real property is a decent candidate.
A floating IP address couldn't be used in my case because I needed a reverse DNS entry and "Floating IPs do not support PTR (rDNS) records."

Along with other limitations such as "we do not support IPv6 floating IPs. All floating IPs are IPv4" and "floating IPs do not support SMTP traffic"

IRC was the first protocol I implemented back in the days. It's so simple you don't even need a client, telnet is enough to get you chatting. I miss this directness.
Are they? Presumably if there is a dispute they will just remove the money from the creator.
Strict inverted pyramid style was so that newspapers could basically randomly cut an article when they ran out of space in the hole the article was filling. A bit of an oversimplification but almost literally true in the case of wire service copy. Also you lost people at jumps.

Magazines are on longer deadlines and can adopt varying styles. That's not to say you hide the lede in the last paragraph, but you do have more flexibility in getting to the point.

The Economist, which actually calls itself a newspaper, probably is roughly inverted pyramid but not as much as AP copy would be.
Declarative idempotency is even better.

#1 : collect the state the "user" (might be you) desires the system to be in.

#2 : collect the state the system is actually in.

#3 : compare #1 to #2 and see if you're already there and if you are, you're done.

#4 : if they differ, then do the work once to fix them.

#5 : bonus: go collect the system state again and send it out to report on what changed
If the shoes were sold through a gallery the claim that this was all a work of art might hold water. If the joke was funnier, the parody element might have had some legs to it. The way this was presented meant it really just looked like a Nike ripoff.

The artists’ lawyer claims this was a comment on “absurd collaboration culture” between brands and artists. Just kidding, it was a joke!

If your joke is not funny enough to be distinguishable from a real brand collaboration then you can expect to called out for straight up trademark infringement.

It is clear that a large number of US citizens believe that healthcare ought not be a universal right, but most also find it unpalatable to simply allow people to die of preventable diseases.

That's the dilemma of a certain category of moralists in the United States: people shouldn't have anything they can't pay for, so they deserve to suffer and die, but it's immoral not to help them and unseemly to leave them helpless and suffering. Torn between the desire to enforce justice on others (let the bums die!), fulfill their own moral obligations (do unto others!), and maintain appearances (we're ranked with Mexico, for God's sake?), they muddle through in contradictions.

In reply to dantheman's sibling comment, there may be some people who reason that way, but the popular argument is based on no clear conception of anything. It's just contradictory impulses that aren't logically reconciled at all. That's how it can be so popular to decry "socialism" while simultaneously defining socialism so broadly that almost all Americans support some instances of it.

Why do first words of a sentence still get capitalization but not the actual proper nouns?
When I realized how powerful Emacs is, how it enables me to create a very streamlined workflows in my day-to-day work, I realized I have no need at all for a crippled tablet (not naming the company) that won't allow me to use Emacs (or many other full-featured software), and that's when I put my fancy tablet on eBay for sale realizing that all the apps that I used on it created yet more islands of isolated data that I will have time and effort to get that out of those formats.

Not many fellows are aware of the value of the freedom to use a platform and tools that are open, that give you the freedom to do what you want with it. They see a fancy interface, and they are sold, not seeing the long term costs, the loss of control, the crippled-ness, the trajectory of the whole industry towards a vision that takes away many forms of freedom that constituted personal computing as we know it.
Every enterprise customer basically tries to turn you into their own studio, so it's always been kind of an anti-pattern to me.

There is a class of business that has capital to be a customer for this, but it's pretty rare. I'm thinking a small/medium business that has generated reliable cash flow for a decade+ that gets inherited by a family member without expertise, so they go to market for a growth strategy. Tool and die makers, auto parts, law firms, residential real estate development, etc.

It reminds me of "interactive agencies," "creative design firms," and other hybrid marketing+dev services shops we have today.

No we're not.

About a decade ago I trained a model on Wikipedia which was tuned to classify documents into what branch of knowledge the document could be part of. Then I fed in one of my own blog posts. The second highest ranking concept that came back to me was "mereology" a term I had never even heard of and one that was quite apt for the topic I was discussing in the blog post.

My own software, running on the contents of millions of authors' work, ingesting my own blog post, taught me the orchestrator of the process about his own work. This feedback loop is accelerating and just because it takes decades for the irrefutable to come, it doesn't mean that it never will. People in the early 40s said atomic weapons would never happen because it would be too difficult. For some people nothing short of seeing is believing, but those with predictive minds know that this truly is just around the corner.

Cincinnati in particular also suffers from a hodgepodge of local government entities that don't really get along. The bus system is run at the county level, but the city limits end before that. Anecdotally, a friend of mine claims that his family voted against the early-2000s light-rail plan on the basis that it would have resulted in the City of Deer Park being downgraded to a village.
My understanding is that most voters don't support universal healthcare.

Most Americans think it is the government's responsibility to ensure all Americans have healthcare coverage [0]. Also, it seems like you're talking about Obamacare as if it is universal healthcare. It's not.

why there is no pressure to fix it?

There is pressure. We're not even weeks removed from the "Force the Vote" campaign for Medicare for all. This is just the latest push to get something done about healthcare in the US.

Overall, this is just another way where most politicians (in this case, Republicans and moderate Democrats) are representing their lobbyists more than their constituents.

You are confusing "really guilty" with "really knows".

The whole theory behind paying CEOs their current absurd salaries is that they are 5-D chess geniuses, responsible for the value created by up to millions of people doing actual work.

How can a CEO be in control enough to deserve all of the profits but so out of control that they deserve none of the blame?

The practical outcome is that high-level executives create plausible deniability. In your story, they issue edicts like "our chemical disposal bill is too high! Fix it!" or just "Our per-store costs are too high!" and ride roughshod over objections. "Don't bring me problems! Solve them!" The pressure rolls downhill. People trying to do the right thing get yelled at or fired; people doing the wrong thing skate on by, because the metrics look better. So everybody learns to do what the CEO implicitly wants: cutting corners to increase profits.

If the CEOs don't know that's the natural outcome of their behavior then they're negligent or criminally incompetent. If they do, they're just criminals. But they have plenty of money to create enough deniability that they can walk away. Possibly using some lower subordinate as a scapegoat, when he was just responding to incentives that the CEO set up.

In my view, whether or not a CEO has direct knowledge of a direct crime is irrelevant. At the CEO level, they don't have direct knowledge of anything, but they have power over everything. It's not clear to me positions like that should exist, but as long as they do exist, they should be responsible for the whole system that they have so eagerly taken charge of. Ignorance cannot be an excuse.
On the sources of funding, #3 (Acquire a Profitable Business) seems like an outlier. 1 and 2 are plausibly related to the studio business. #3 is just an alternate source of funds, presumably unrelated to the studio, and if that were so easy to acquire profitable businesses and run them so hands-off that you can focus on the studio business, why not just keep acquiring profitable companies and skip the whole studio as it’s an unnecessary extra step? Maybe we should all just go do that.

Did you miss this statement "The single biggest donor to political campaigns just now is Tom Steyer, a Democrat with a passion for climate change."?

If all the wealthy people had the same goals and views, then you'd be in trouble, but as they having competing ideals, what it seems America ends up with is the wealthy trying to outspend each other to gain political favour, which, according to the article, they have been unsuccessful at doing.

The 99.09% may not have the money, but they've got the vote, they've got brains, creativity, and the persuasive effect of numbers.

The question, what should those capabilities be pointed at resolving?

Blame the rich may be popular right now, and I'm all for a more equal society, particularly bringing up the income of the lowest 50%, but I doubt a heaping tablespoon of sarcasm is going to get us there.
This is called intermittent fasting (one way to do it), and there is some very interesting research (on mice) that suggests caloric restriction to a few hours a day has positive effects on obesity and diabetes.

The filibuster is never actually used anymore, just threatened. That's good enough to get what you want. No one these days has the patience or balls to actually make someone go through with it.
Such rules are usually driven by HR, not by hiring managers. The hiring manager's motivation is to get something done. Your compensation is a rounding error on the revenues from a successful product or whatever it is you are hired to create.

HR, on the other hand, exists to create a "system." One of the primary properties of the system they are trying to create is predictability. If you have a process of some sort, anybody ought to be able to put the same inputs in and get the same outputs out.

Thus, they look for a good way to explain what you are offered. Capping it based on your previous compensation is a nice, simple rule that fits well with a process. Paying you some random amount based on how urgent your skills are needed on a team is not a repeatable process.

In a weird way, although HR talk a good line about people and soft skills and values and missions, they behave just like autistic programmers: They put numbers and rules ahead of people and priorities.
MP3 players will be replaced by mobile phones anyway ;)
I think I'm the last person in my circle of friends that still owns one. And in a few months I'll just use my phone I guess.
I'd also highly recommend Thomas Merton's 'New Seeds of Contemplation', which though written by a Trappist monk and grounded in Christian philosophy applies to contemplative practice in any tradition.
a) what raganwald said.

b) Some people have more than 5 years of work experience. One day, you will too.

c) 5 years is not hard and fast. Feel free to make it 3 years or whatever you think works for you.

Even within a single tradition, you may fine that some teachers click with you and some don't. It's a fine balance, but if you find someone who resonates with you, stick around and learn from them.

People continue to join the games industry - attrition rates are sky high and the vast majority do not last.

Perhaps the argument should be reframed as - why is it that despite high-profile and commonly known, and completely batshit insane working conditions, do people still sign up (and then quit the industry entirely)?

Are we doing a poor job publicizing these conditions, or are the stories just so horrifying that they become almost outlandishly unbelievable?

Good print designers will know the possibilities and limitations of the medium they're working in. I think the same can be said about the screen medium.
While perhaps not intentional, this is a great illustration of why RDMBS are so great for general purpose data storage. If your data have fields like "birthdate" and "last_name" and you need to be able to do quick retrievals based on equality or ranges of those values, use a relational database. They've had indexing and index maintenance figured out for decades.
Yeah, unfortunately there are small differences in tokens that different systems strftime's represent.

This is the company that does the audio processing for Shazam: http://www.landmarkdigital.com/

Met the lead developer at an NSConference. Found it very interesting that they are using Objective-C and Cocoa for the server-side audio processing.
I absolutely love when someone can explain something you know, but make you understand it. Although the article is about CEO succession, it seems to make a strong case for creating a diverse executive team. While it may be more difficult to do in a small company, in larger companies it seems to make sense to have each member of the executive team function as a CEO over his or her area of responsibility.
> There have always been shitty buildings that don't last, because poor people also need homes.

(Haven't read the article yet) That's probably where his mistake came from. He's judging the buildings of the past by the ones that are around now, which are (by nature of the fact that they still exist) higher quality. All of the shoddily-constructed ones are gone now. Textbook selection bias.
It's a demo. Just make a fake account using a fake email address or use a temporary email service. Works fine.
Then why would anybody start a company? why not just join as #12, once a ton of work has been done and you can anticipate, relative to when it was just an idea, the path of the company.
I'm glad to see that certain extensions are what's stopping people from switching to Safari.

For me the issue is that Safari garbles the sound when using Google Hangouts and Whereby. Having to open another browser just to use those services, is pretty annoying.
Yes theoretically I think there is nothing stopping you from shipping Swift code on AWS. I am pretty sure you could do it in a lambda and you don't even need a docker container.

If you're talking about a container workflow, I'm pretty sure every cloud provider will support this just fine currently.
Well, yes, that officer with the selfie was being very foolish and putting himself at a lot of risk. But it does indicate a certain attitude.

US is a hegemony and the strongest nation in every respect. Who would dare slap sanctions on US without being retaliated upon? Consider the Nord Stream[1] for instance - Russians and Germans want it, US does not want it so Nord Stream is dead in the water (literally in this case).

There is not a nation on this planet that could so much as think of sanctioning US and come out ahead.

One of the big things I'm going to miss is: No overdraft fees.

Simple is one of the only banks that doesn't do overdrafts. If you try to use your debit card and have no money, it fails. If you try to send a payment, or a autopay tries to withdraw, and you don't have the money, it fails.

Looking at replacement options, I've kind of honed in on Alliant Credit Union and PNC. PNC was close in the running because of their "virtual wallet" tools years ago when I was last looking, but they really have no presence in my area.

Alliant has a $25 overdraft fee, limited to once a day (IIRC, been looking at a lot of options). PNC has ~$38 fee, limited to 4 times a day.

Now, I don't overdraft often, can't remember the last time. But when I'm moving to a new bank and trying to get everything set up, chances are high and I know getting $150 in overdraft fees is going to piss me right off. And they do offer some protections like free pulling from a backup account or one of their credit cards if you have it before doing a full overdraft.

But almost $40 for an overdraft makes me question the personality of this bank.
Agreed (I mentioned that it was worth it and I enjoy getting well-formatted eBooks as compared to instapapering everything).

My main point was that e-publishing seems like a tough business since the trend of information pricing seems to be heading to 0.
LJ and Blogger were contemporaries. Frontier's blogging features were a little earlier. Among the three, not sure which ones invented the things I identify above as "the modern blog".
Presumably because it's not going to make a full 16/32/64GB backup first.
I didn't think much of the issue either, but you have a good point... if you're doing an OTA upgrade you're very likely without power.

A coworker's android phone (Droid 1) died during an OTA upgrade due to lack of battery. This bricked the phone (he had to get a replacement)... combine with the fact that his phone wasn't backed up, and he was a very upset guy for a week or so as he redid all his settings and hacks.
As an aside, does anyone know how to generate visualizations like the one in the article? Any tools folks use to do these?

You might say... It's "patently" absurd. Get it?
I've always seen the first transaction between A and B described as "borrowing", since no money changes hands at that stage.

You asked whose shares you are using to place the short. Mechanistically speaking, you, the short-seller, have to locate people willing to loan you the shares in return for some sort of consideration, usually a small interest payment. In practice, brokerages perform this service for you, often by using shares owned by other clients "on margin" (with credit from the brokerage). Your broker can probably give you, upon request, an "easy-to-borrow" list, showing the stocks that can be shorted without concern for how to cover your position.

In practice, short lenders usually don't participate knowingly in the short sale -- as mentioned above, they are often just other investors who own shares on margin (credit). So, they are generally hoping that the price of the share goes up (that's why they own the stock), but lending shares for a short sale has no connection with a particular market outlook.
If you do dual-license, then you'll have to go into the business of selling the closed license. As a tax-payer, I'd very much prefer my government not to venture into software sales. Unless you're going to do that, just regular GPL it, it'd have the same effect. It's pretty hard to directly sell GPL software, it's usually consulting, implementation etc.
