Section 8 says very explicitly: To coin Money, regulate the Value thereof

People are totally allowed to make their own money and you can use it as you like.

EDIT: About the commerce clause.

Forgot to mention, if you want to bag on the federal government, don't bag on the commerce clause, bag on stipulating federal funding is only available if you do this completely unrelated thing.

"If you handle more medicaid people we will cover part of the cost", that makes sense. "If you raise your minimum drinking age to 21 we will help pay for your roads". WTF?
Q: "What am I facing here?"

A: Ennui.

But you probably knew that.

Had a vacation lately?

Have you explored the notion of developing another career?

A former boss told me once, when I was in a fit of pique over something related to work, "Relax man. Everyone has two or three careers in them. You're on your first."

FWIW I went through something you could call a major bout of ennui regarding working in the internet tech sector several years ago. Came out the other end of it just fine, but I work fewer hours/wk as a result by choice, spend more time outdoors, and frequently invest some of it in learning new things. Friends joke that I am going to wind up being that guy in the Dos Equis commercial...

Caveat: I don't have a family to support. Woodshedding and shifting gears is great if you have the financial flexibility. YMWV.

At least take up gardening or something.
The problem with listening to advice from rectruiters, is every recruiter is different and has different advice. And what one is looking for, annoys the hell out of others. Some insist on mission statements, some hate them. And it was trendy to do a mission statement for a few years, and now it is not.

Some of them want only 2 pages, some of them want lots of details, with a capability matrix.

Some of them like personal touches like photos, some of them just want the meat and potatoes, and get annoyed at this crap.

Some of them get upset when you don't address them by name, some of them hide their name on the ad, and there is no way to get it.

Some of them like short cover letters, some of them want you to address every single point they bought up in the ad, sometimes stretching to 4 pages.

Some of them only want the last relevant jobs, some don't like seeing gaps anywhere, which leads them to suspect that you were in jail (WTF?).

This is why you can't take recruiters seriously, they constantly speak like they all agree, when they don't. They give out useless advice, that can actually disadvantage you if you deal with someone else.
I thought it was a pretty hilarious comment by the interviewer and thought it would make a good title for the article. I found the blog post interesting (and entertaining) to read. I agree that the Nixon reference was a little absurd.

Edit: They put up the clip from that scene. Zuckerberg is sweating his ass off.

Man, what a douchebag you are. I've known Josh for many years and am very happy he's become successful. He is not attacking you. It's all in your head. Please go see a therapist.
Actually I'd say cities don't scale, at least not beyond the ~5 million people mark.

So fucking false. Ever been to a city in Asia, like Tokyo? The fact that the city exists means that there is demand for things like retail stores and public transportation. There's pretty much a train line between any two points in the city. You can actually go to a retail store and buy something useful. (Never happened to me in the US, except IKEA.)

Cities like London and New York (well, Manhattan) do pretty well too. Once you hit a certain number of people, infrastructure becomes possible. Everything gets closer together, and everyone benefits from that.

Perhaps, but pedestrian-friendliness, bicycle-friendliness and mass transit friendliness are directly opposed to another kind of human-friendliness: the kind that allows people, especially families, to live at a comfortable density. The only way to make a city navigable by non-car means is to cram people in at high density: okay for some (heck, I live in a thirty-storey building myself) but not for others.

Ok, whatever, but why should I subsidize that lifestyle? The OP is about paying for parking. If you want to drive your car into the city from the suburbs, you should build the road and pay market price for the real estate that your car sits on while you're here. Too expensive? Now you know why cities exist -- infrastructure costs less because more people can share the same infrastructure. When we build a superhighway to from the city to your house in the middle of nowhere, the cost is high but the benefit is minimal. When we build a transit line from the city along a high-density corridor, the cost is high but the benefit is also high. That's the point of cities -- more for less.

As I said, car-unfriendliness is incompatible with quarter-acre blocks and giving your children a yard to play in. Besides, there's no reason why mixed-use neighbourhoods can't be car-friendly.

Not true. It's incompatible with pretending that there's nobody else in the world but you, however.
I wonder if this comment is more about placating Microsoft until HP is ready to part company than about any real strategic direction at HP.
The bandwidth overage fee for DataPro is a reasonable $10 for each extra gigabyte. Verizon and Sprint charge around $50 per extra gigabyte in overage fees. If you use more than 2 GB per month, you deserve to pay more than the rest of us who do not. Why is this hard to understand?

It's perfectly reasonable for heavy users to pay more than light users. But the same holds true for water, sewage, electricity, etc.

So why do we have such a complicated mess of data plan options? Why is 3G bandwidth not just a simple metered service where everybody pays the same rate?
So were the other 68.7% all unknown?
The modality of work is the least important part of my comment. You can replace work with any of 'running your own business. Freelancing. Working for Uber' and the comment is the same. The person that runs a business because it needs to is 'forced' in a similar way (although one might expect most entrepreneurs to derive some pleasure from their work, this is also true for general workers. The point stands)

About the responsibilities - without quotes because they are concrete and not IMO there's not much room for arguing otherwise:

I'm not a researcher in this area but have frequent contact with people who do. It is my impression that what you stated is thoroughly refuted, and with nearly absolute consensus, by research on social norms and its impact on human psychology.
I could be wrong - as this is me interpreting words of experts in a field I can't grasp - but I do talk to them; and every time I bring up a point that resembles in spirit what you said - a sense of 'yeah but people have individuality and can act on it, right?' causes them to promptly and thoroughly state that yes, but not so much for the majority of things we do. Apparently, most things we do are motivated by our relation to other people, sometimes in incoherent ways. This doesn't sound too farfetched to me, to be honest.

Btw - With the risk of sounding too aggressive, which is not my intention, saying that people don't "have" to care for elders because they "can" just let them die is either incredibly naïve or incredibly cynical. People don't "have" to have children - but after they do, does it matter if it by accident or choice? Can we "just let" babies starve too, or just the old and invalid? Also - if you do so, you are absolutely arrested and dragged into a cubicle (and you don't get to go out possibly ever, which is worse than 'until you do').

This is not a fruitful discussion but you chose terrible examples for a point that I found to have little merit, by arguing myself with experts that told me I'm wrong. Who knows? I'll take their word for it until (if ever) I can study it myself.
Read through the comments. There are plenty of them stating what they love about DO.
The depressing part is that this is actually an improvement over the violence and intimidation tactics of America's past. The US has never been a particularly union supportive country.

The only problem I can see is that like-it-or-not, some of cop's behavior involves not enforcing bad laws. Cameras might take away ability to let things slide. Maybe that results in the long overdue reform of our laws. Maybe it just means nobody gets off the hook for anything anymore.
The Constitution imposes a lot of constraints on the government that make its job more difficult, presumably because those rights would not be protected if it was necessarily to rely on some inherent bit of goodness in bureaucrats.
I did try rewriting dates into a user's locale as specified by the browser. The trouble there is that a lot of people seem to have that set to en-US rather than en-AU. So I still got a bunch of people unhappy that the dates were American!
The big influences are large companies and we finance many of them with the purchases we make. Voting with wallets, given strength of numbers, could start to have an impact.

I don't see reduced tax income changing the ratio in which a government allocates their funds.
Honestly, there are so many homeless in the city in part because of the "effectiveness" of the various homeless outreach programs. (Don't get me wrong. I'm very glad that there are very few people in the city that go unfed or unclothed.)
Isn't that because psychological pain is much more common?
Nothing's wrong with it; it just doesn't go far enough.

It doesn't define a standard module system or macros (beyond syntax-rules), exceptions, or record types. Most R5RS implementations offer those, but they're all different and incompatible. The standard also doesn't help with boring but necessary stuff like file encodings, character sets, etc.

So instead of writing a (nontrivial) program for R5RS Scheme, you have to write it for MIT Scheme or Racket or Chicken or Chibi or ...
Understood, but I think providing a list of attributes that you consider sufficiently advanced would be far more constructive / interesting.
While the new design is better visually, it follows a trend that I've seen the past few years and that I don't particularly like: it dedicates almost all of the real estate trying to convince you that the Khan Academy is great, while downplaying the videos which are the actual content of the site.

This is fine for an app or content that is behind a "registerwall", because you must convince the user that registering is worthwhile. But in the Khan Academy the courses a freely available. Instead of presenting me a video of Sal chatting with Bill G on the stage of TED, I'd prefer a video that is likely to expand my understanding of the universe.
Someone tell my why the US government can't just demand ISP's block the protocol that Bitcoin uses?

Congratulations, you've arrived at the conclusions of JM Keynes' General Theory.

Of course, that viewpoint has been the subject of some debate in the last eighty years.
Would you kindly point out precisely which part of the various directives and agreements the actions depicted in the first three-quarters of the Collateral Murder video violate?

(You have seen the uncut video, right? It's forty minutes long. If not, I strongly recommend that you watch it. It gives a slightly different impression of what happened.)

Anyway, I understand the need to be angry about heinous acts. However, I've discovered that when one plays the "What laws or regulations does this heinous act violate?" game, one somewhat frequently finds that the act in question does not violate the letter of the relevant laws or regulations. Similarly, when one examines footage that has not been edited for emotional punch, one often reaches a different conclusion about the events pictured.
I've got to drive to the store, find it, wait in line, check out, put it in my car and then drive home. That's much more friction than just pressing a button.
Sadly, I don't think Apple enforces these guidelines very much — the top three (by number of apps) developers in the iOS App Store are [1]:

* Libriance Inc (2,100 apps): http://itunes.apple.com/artist/libriance-inc/id336845065?uo=...

* NTT Solmare (1,600 apps): http://itunes.apple.com/artist/ntt-solmare/id291585690?uo=5

* Tobit.Software (1,300 apps): http://itunes.apple.com/artist/tobit.software/id284971906?uo...

A lot of the apps for each of these companies are very similar or are basic web clips.

That is a good point, but I am never going to be interested in ads for a toothbrush, watching naked women or not.

It is one of the many things that have been solved and don't need to be "reinvented", I just buy the cheapest one when I need one.

Show me an ad for a hoverboard (one that actually hovers) and I am interested, naked women or not.
Lots of possibilities. Another one I imagined is that "only the senior devs know how to use a profiler, and they're stuck in meetings all the time."

Possibly. But I don't think that trend can hold forever. There are only so many eyeballs and hours in the day per person.
This is not an answer to your first question, but I find that Ctrl-O and Ctrl-I are much more useful for getting back to your previous location -- which is normally what I want.
People use tag manager for tracking scripts, but it's also used for anything that you can put into a JS script (tracking or not). Not every script is a tracking script.
It really seems like it should.
It's even not too bad on my 3G. It chugs a bit when there are a lot of particles (so an option to switch off on older phones would be welcome), otherwise it's quite playable.

Multitouch doesn't seem to work though. I can only press one control at a time.
In real life, similar problems were solved with a shibboleth. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shibboleth Americans used 'lollapalooza' in WW2.
Exactly - you did nothing wrong, cafard. You helped someone out, and you acknowledged her thanks in a friendy (if informal) way.
Awesome. Now we'll just have to use an application that requires people to sign up and pay for a developer program to be allowed to use, that only runs on a single platform, and that can only generate content for a single ad platform on selected mobile devices.

That's quite better than the super-proprietary world of Flash... that allows me to use any of the 3 major platforms, using a number of free development environments, and publish anywhere and any way I want.
Maybe not, but if you're bypassing MySQL's internal mutexes and SQL parser to get significantly faster results, it's possible that those speed improvements would outweigh doing two fetches via HandlerSocket.
I also use Pencil. Before that I was just using Fireworks or whatever graphic software I felt like. Pencil (as a true wireframing tool) forced me to focus on just wireframing which enabled me to get some alternative graphic ideas from my coders and designers.
a bubble of what? AOL, a profitable public company, acquired a private company.

The private company had employees and investors. Both of whom presumably got a tidy return on their time/money.

Pretty much the worst thing that can happen is the acquisition flunks, in which case it's cost AOL "tens of millions" - AOL is a profitable billion dollar company. If the acquisition fails, well, acquisitions are risks - some succeed and others fail.

The WAF is $20/month and as far as I know you don't get it automatically for free by using Cloudflare Tunnel, though feel free to correct me.
There was the case of them enabling mitigations for the log4j vulnerabilities for anyone on Cloudflare, but that was an exception.
Whatever a judge decides is illegal is illegal.
How exactly are you punishing innocent people? What's happening is you're rewarding thieves.

Your example doesn't fit what I am saying either. With a digital currency you can do a pre-sale trick, so you'll see the funds were stolen - and you then don't sell them the car in the first place.

We can't incentivize theft.

The author seems to criticize that the Java classes are named for how they're implemented, whereas the CoreFoundation ones are named for what they are instead. In Java, though, the convention (at least in the Collection library), is that the Interface name tells you what the thing is (List, Map, Set), and the class name tells you how it's implemented (ArrayList/LinkedList, HashMap/ConcurrentMap, HashSet/TreeSet).

This actually does look pretty fun (for about 15m) but it's so goofy and impractical that at $1,500 I can only ever see rich SV dorks using this.

Curious for riders - can you ollie/nollie them? Is there an internal truck mechanism for turning, or do you have to pivot your feet? Does it have gyroscopic balancing, or are you always trying to "bongo-board" your balance while moving?
So there is a basic introduction to generating LLVM in Haskell there, but what's so great about it is that generating a lexer/parser/(interpreter|compiler) is almost magic in Haskell. The total code of that project is remarkably small. For that reason, it's a pretty standard Haskell workflow to do everything in Haskell and then have it emit LLVM/Cuda/whatever to do the heavy-lifting, and then you get to reason in Haskell and your back-end takes care of the rest. As much as that sounds complicated, it's really, really not.
Even assuming point 4 does not hold up, the GP is describing a system that promotes arbitrarily long development cycles. i.e. if it takes 5 years to develop the next generation of a drug, but the patent expires after 20 years, you are basically rewarding the whole industry to do no more than 25-30% of technically feasible R&D.
In the past we've had it where where each bot is allowed a certain amount of "computation", with different upgrades giving you more "computation" each turn.

Machine-independent isn't really the write word, more of that we want the same two bots fighting on the same maps to be deterministic regardless of the machine its being run on.

For mechanics like this, we've found that bytecode instruction counts are the best metric we currently have, since anything that is time-based could result in different results depending how the CPU schedules the bots, and doing something like using PIN or another system to count assembly instructions turns it into a competition of who can write the most optimized assembly code.

Concorde sold just 14 aircraft out of a production run of 20 with governments underwriting both the massive development losses and subsidising the two airlines that actually bought it. There's a good reason later models never made it off the drawing board.

To put things into perspective, Bombardier have 243 net orders for the CSeries (an aircraft comparable in size if not capability) before the aircraft has been certified for commercial use. And the programme - involving comparatively simple technological innovation - isn't considered particularly commercially successful.

Yes, the US government's decision to limit its ability to operate in US airspace didn't help Concorde. And neither did the equivalent Soviet airliner spectacularly exploding at an air show. Or rising fuel costs. But what reason does any madman with enough billions to get a hypothetical hypersonic aircraft built and certified for commercial operations have to think that the same won't happen again?
In what way is your bluetooth audio broken? If you're seeing frequent disconnects, switching from 5 GHz to 2.4 GHz WiFi seems to have resolved it on my Nexus 7. Which is utterly ridiculous, but hell, it works.

Well you know what? I'm 27, I have lived in 9 countries for long periods of time (more than 3 months for 2 of them, more than 1 year for the rest), I've traveled around to a few other countries and, well now that I want to settle down I do want a million dollar.

While it's not the only reason why I'm creating my own business, money is a big part of the motivation. Of course I love most of what I do [1], wasting my life doing something that I hate to earn money is also not a smart move. But, yes money is definitely something I want...

For example, I want to be able to have my house, a place of my own that I can modify how I want it, not a place owned by some landlord who places a lot of restrictions on what I can do... I want to be able to go to the expensive 3 stars restaurants, stay at nice 5 stars hotels instead of cheap youth hostels... I want to enjoy luxuries..

[1] Unfortunately growing my business means having employees and delegating some of the fun part along with the boring parts. And managing is not my favorite part of the job.
> I know what I mean: software that never crashes, and runs rapidly.

stability and efficiency shouldn't be the only factors you focus on. An empty loop is pretty fast and stable, but wouldn't solve most of the problems you're expected to solve. It sounds like you're just taking all the other factors for granted, where in reality they're as hard or harder to get right as stability and efficiency.

No. It can be challenging at first, but you and them will be much better after the change. Also, if you need money you shouldn't make a sudden change. Nowadays it is easier than ever to start a business in your free time.
