Then make me pay for Cloud Print. I'm already paying for Drive and GSuite, I think I can handle $1/year more.

Heck, add features like secure job release, integration with enterprise directory services, and services for brochure printing and online photo printing/albums. Document management and printing services is a huge industry.

Companies and universities hate doing printer driver and device management, and hence all the outsourcing of printers. But the outsourcing companies have to bolt an extra box on many printers to enable printing, or write special printer GUI firmware, makes it expensive. Could all be on your phone instead.

Once again, Google has screwed itself and it's users.
At the risk of being overly-nationalistic, this is exactly the sort of scenario that many were worried about when the rest of the world demanded that the US hand over control to an international governing body. Just as you see with - for example - the IOC, many international governing bodies have a dangerous tendency to devolve to the ethical standards of their most corrupt members.
The problem with NordVPN isn't that they had a breach and their keys were leaked (ok, well that is huge fucking problem) due to a forgotten KVM but that they didn't fess up till 18 months later when some independent researcher brought that to light.
That's not an argument. There are many websites that are higher traffic, yet written in slow languages like Ruby and Python.
"Do you know what correlates more than anything else with undesirable codebase properties? The size of the codebase."

Well yeah, more code means more bad code. I'm interested to know whether more code means proportionally more bad code. If not, his statement doesn't mean much.
The luck is that that game turned out to be lucrative.
Commonmark wasn't trying to be a "useful" or "good" version of Markdown. Commonmark was trying to nail down the specification of a _particular existing version_ of Markdown because devs weren't handling the edge cases correctly and it was problematic for users.

Kape _is_ Crossrider. Crossrider was renamed Kape and a new CEO was put in place to "exit the advertising market" transitioning to cyber security.
Exactly. More than one Vogon might have a meeting.

Probably mostly this, but I also notice a major uptick in my own daylight Coyote sightings in the early spring. My assumption has always been that this is breeding season and animals with new pups are forced to spend more of their time foraging.
It was plenty clear.
It makes my skin crawl to see the first example use case be combining inheriting from singleton and the array class. It looks like PHP is finally getting advanced OOP features and the first thing someone wants to do with them is make a singleton (which violate single responsibility, also introducing global variables and tight coupling) that extends arrays (when delegating to an array instance is usually a better choice).

I know this is a single example, but I feel like I've seen bad OOP practices in PHP so many times in the past. This is such a rich feature but it brings with it a lot of potential for misuse.
But for some reason, people refuse to believe that EMR on this wavelength could have any negative effects what so ever on living tissue and cellwork.

Anyone who took high school physics learned about the photoelectric effect - if a single photon does not contain the ionization energy, no ionization occurs [1]. This is supported by a huge number of experiments and is a generic conclusion of quantum mechanics.

The only effect wifi can have on trees, people, etc, is the generation of a tiny amount of heat. If you can disprove this, you will get a Nobel prize in physics.

I wrote a paper on the topic, see the citations for a lot of background material (my paper is just math, don't bother with it): http://cims.nyu.edu/~stucchio/pubs/dipole_delta.pdf

[1] Not true at high intensity, i.e. in a high powered laser beam or microwave resonating cavity.
I agree -- Dilbert shows that the US is just as prone to these problems.
Yes, we've talked about phone, videoconference, and email sessions for those not in Palo Alto. We'll likely open up those options soon.

We've purposely not specified selection criteria yet. We're waiting to see what kind of response we get. If it's manageable (which might be helped by the initial physical presence requirement), we'll help as many people as we can on Dec 9th and begin scheduling the remainder in January. If the response is somehow overwhelming, we'll probably triage it based upon our opinion of the product's chance for success--though technically interesting projects will stand out as well.

We'll write about our experience with this experiment, which will likely include a retrospective of our selection process. We're also hoping to synthesize common advice into blog articles that should be generally helpful.
If you do that, what's the advantage of bitcoin?

I've learned to manage my emotions, including those that accompany failure, pretty well over the years, but there's still that initial involunary feeling of despair that, however brief, I can't get rid of. It's really nasty.

If you can get past that, I think you can overcome anything -- I've never faced a bigger personal challenge.
That time were there was an onslaught of erlang articles on HN there was one called something like "Erlang the movie", for some reason Erlang telephony videos make me happy :)
I wonder why this isn't mentioned in the Principia Discordia
In addition to the importance of education, Jews in Europe were not allowed to own land which made them instead strong in business/trade etc.
My Mom used the iPad my Dad bought in a pretty sparring manner, mostly to look at Flickr and MLB (listening to games not on MLB Package on cable). She didn't like reading on it.

My brother and I got her an Apple TV for Xmas and so far that is going very well. Netflix is a hit (after we convinced her she wasn't paying for each show) and so is Flickr to see the grandchild on the big tv. It also helps all the video Dad has from iTunes.
I like my iPad, but the weakest link is that I can't do any serious typing. Even for small emails, it can be a pain. I need a keyboard I can feel.
It's not that Jehovah's Witnesses as a religion primarily appeal to those of lower income. Instead its that many Jehovah's Witnesses decide to take lower income and part-time jobs in order to spend more time preaching. I am not trying to imply you assumed the former.
Perhaps to some degree because of the nature of the evolutionary pressures on them over the centuries?

The Jews have almost always had extraordinary pressures, e.g., killed outright (e.g., Nazi Germany), restricted from owning land (e.g., Venice, Spain). Among their responses to the first was to migrate and, to the second, to move into commerce, moneylending, finance, etc.

If your group is dealing with pressures that another population is not exposed to, then your group's survivors will better deal with that pressure. If, at the same time, that pressure becomes more widespread in a society, then your group also benefits from that. That is, the Jews were involved in commerce and market economies earlier than other groups on average.

Of course this isn't everything. Consider the European gypsies. Certainly they suffered many, if not most, of the same pressures as the Jews, but their current situation is comparatively grim.
But you can work in this industry and do good in the world. You may not make as much or have a big payout though. I originally focused my career on healthcare and first wrote software used by biotech/pharma companies to support their communications with doctors. Then I focused on privacy issues and worked for PGP. I then went 180 degrees may have added some evil to the world and worked on NSA/military projects for awhile (only defensive projects though).

I'm now back to a public health focus to make up for it. It's kind of depressing work. I write software used by crisis call centers, suicide hotlines, 211 call centers, etc. and when I log into the server and watch the messages passing through the system in realtime I see people being talked out of suicide, children talking about being bullied, lots of pregnant single mothers looking for shelter... One of the most depressing for me though was a guy looking for replacement glasses since his broke and he couldn't afford a new pair.

We're a barebones operation (just three of us) and we don't make a ton of money - most of our customers are non-profits. We'll never have a big payout, or a big exit. And being closer to the problems in society is a little depressing, to see how a large number of people really live. I can see how people delude themselves into thinking "Making the world a better place, through minimal message oriented transport layers" is a real thing.
Because it is easier for people to segregate and discriminate those who are different from them then it is to find a common ground or to simply accept the differences.

Tim's closing line kind of hits this, "This isn’t a political issue. It isn’t a religious issue. This is about how we treat each other as human beings. Opposing discrimination takes courage".

I came into this article ready to roll my eyes, but I think Tim did a great job. Really well done piece.
This ^ 1000x. Every job you join is a business negotiation between buyer and seller. Companies want to offer the lowest compensation they can get an engineer for, the engineer wants the highest compensating company they can get an offer from. The match is where the market gets what the market wants.

I’ve seen plenty of employees with deep context on codebase able to retain their SF salary as they’ve moved locations. For the business, it makes little difference where they work so they keep on paying, they’d rather not lose.

For new hires, it’s a different game. Global means a global talent pool to choose from, a bigger market. Sometimes a cheaper market.

Companies raise their salaries when they can’t hire talent they want at a price point. So know your worth, and be willing to walk away. Also offer something valuable that companies don’t want to walk away from.
I disagree. DSLs give you a new set of primitives which is more suited to the problem domain and makes it harder to make mistakes by accidentally encoding things which don't exist in the problem domain.

Of course, just making a DSL isn't enough. Some DSLs are badly designed and inelegant, or their features do not compose well with each other. But a well designed DSL can be a thing of both beauty and clarity.

I think this shouldn't be surprising as even modern programming languages are DSLs of a kind when compared to machine code.
In other cases, viral infections infect and kill cancer cells.
Seems like you'd be better off using Rust for most of these. A lot of the same correctness benefits of Haskell, but a much more practical langauge with a more complete ecosystem of libraries.
1. Rechargeable. Lasts about 2-3 nights depending on how long you sleep.

2. Not yet.
His contrived example of i.should have(1).porkchop_sandwiches highlights my (shared) biggest problem with RSpec too: over the top matchers.

I already know Ruby's syntax so when I want to query an array's length, I use length (or count or size). I don't want to learn yet another term like "have" and nor do I want to reverse how I normally do this check. have(1).obj vs obj.length are chalk and cheese.

I want my tests to be as close to existing Ruby language constructs and syntax as possible but clean too. Test::Unit keeps us closer to Ruby as Evan demonstrates:

assert_equal 1, i.porkchop_sandwiches.count

But it's not clean enough, IMHO, and you have to learn a bunch of assertion methods to cover basic cases. So I have a "middle way" I picked up from I use RSpec and avoid its more fluffy matchers in preference for something like:

i.porkchop_sandwiches.count.should == 1

Now it's more like an "if" condition but you still get the right error message goodness if the assertion fails. It adds the least new syntax to get results using your pre-existing Ruby knowledge. (Disclaimer: I usually just grin and bear Test::Unit for small projects ;-))
Why not Xcode?
I have a couple questions which don't seem to be answered on the website if anyone knows the answers.

1. Is the battery a rechargeable or normal battery that I have to replace?

2. Can I easily download my sleep data to my computer to mess around with?
For every one of you there is another who dropped out of a PhD program to start a company that eventually went bust and now they are in the same position as you, but without the PhD. Everyone tosses the dice. Everyone has regrets. Don't beat yourself up about it.

Look on the bright side: your PhD is an insurance policy against ageism. When you are 50 you will still be able to find (or make for yourself) low-risk, high-paying work doing neat technical stuff. The VP and C-level peers that you envy so much now will essentially be managers for the rest of their lives.
This has got to the best description of this app!
This is going to get down-voted, but with that dual major, why are you trying to run a start-up at the same time?
Likewise. In my experience with them, the interview questions are really specific and targeted, thus making it unlikely for everyone to know the precise answer. Unfortunately, they are indeed looking for an exact answer.

So just because we couldn't recite an exact response with compilable code doesn't mean we're dumb. We just aren't experts in that particular topic. Hang in there!
The OP does know that HAML supports straight HTML as well right? The following is perfectly valid:

%h2 Heading content

%p This is just some <em>emphatic</em> text. Maybe I'll talk about <code>$BASH_VERSION</code> here.

Personally I'll never go back to writing straight HTML ever again. It's ridiculously verbose, uses characters that are very hard to type, and it's easy to forget to close a tag and not realize it.
Two interesting excerpts from the Backscatter X-ray wikipedia page:

The national radiation safety standard (see below) sets a dose per screening limit for the general-use category. To meet the requirements of the general-use category a full-body x-ray security system must deliver less than the dose a person receives during 4 minutes of airline flight. TSA has set their dose limit to ensure a person receives less radiation from one scan with a TSA general-use x-ray security system than from 2 minutes of airline flight.

And

Fathers exposed to medical diagnostic x-rays are more likely to have infants who contract leukemia, especially if exposure is closer to conception or includes two or more X-rays of the lower gastrointestinal (GI) tract or lower abdomen.[36] In medical radiography the x-ray beam is adjusted to expose only the area of which an image is required, so that generally shielding is applied to the patient to avoid exposing the gonads,[37] whereas in an airport backscatter scan, the testicles of men and boys will be deliberately subjected to the direct beam, and radiation will also reach the ovaries of female subjects. Whilst the overall dose averaged over the entire body is lower in a backscatter X-ray scan than in a typical medical X-ray examination, because of the shielding of the gonads used in medical radiography this in itself does not mean that the dose to the testicles would be less in an airport scan.
But isn't 10 microSieverts over a 5 hour flight much better than 1 microSievert in the span on a few seconds?

Great points. If you can figure out how to close one customer, determine what they're worth, and how much they cost, it becomes much easier to understand how to get the next customer.

Repeat this process over and over and you'll understand how to value a channel, which helps to approximate the value of the next channel and so on.
I think the problem is the use of the word "Web", it throws my thinking as far as what the web-use is for.

Would "WebMedia" have been so hard - just 4 more letters?
Mattress manufacturers are even worse about this-- they create entirely separate model names for each retailer-- Macy's sells the Serta Supreme but Sleepy's sells the Serta Deluxe and 800-MATTRESS sells the Serta Max, all of which are exactly the same mattress.

Of course, mattress manufacturing is a swindle on a whole other level...
Euw. Forced for 24 hours?
Only top-tier, status goods could be sold with a boutique system as a collections, like fashion clothes, elite cars and so on.

Apple got it years ago, almost everyone else are lagging behind.

The manufacturers of a cheap consumer goods must use appropriate strategies. Creating a mess with model numbers to puzzle a customer and promote them in terms of marketing slogans instead of actual specifications is the one of the most popular in consumer electronics.
That they wanted to benchmark their own stuff rather than Rails is blatantly obvious.

My point is that if, in my Rails app, 5% of the time is taken up by Passenger in a typical request, even big improvements like these are just not going to mean much in the real world.

Perhaps they can shed some light on what real world percentages of request time for Passenger vs Rails+App might look like.
It would be hard to benchmark against Sinatra because it's not a server. :)
I don't know about the other manufacturers, but I'm ready to sing praises for Thinkpads here. Every single part inside has a part number and pretty much all of these parts are orderable online. Many are interchangeable between models, though the information on that can be a bit difficult to find. There are PDF service manuals that describe in detail how to completely strip down the machine piece by piece available for pretty much every single model since at least ten years ago if you know where to look (Thinkwiki).

It's not really the Apple way, but it's pretty awesome if you're the type of person who's into lots and lots of information about everything.
Author misses Gladwell's largest advantage: he became a bestseller because he had laid the groundwork with years of writing magazine articles - built up an audience and alliances with huge, influential publications like the new yorker, NYT, etc.
But you still end up paying for a windows license? Perhaps my biggest reason for buying a mac was that there were no ultraportables without the windows tax. In fact, I don't want to have to install linux on my laptop first thing.

Also, Sony's 'fresh start' pay-us-to-not-install-crap-maybe-sometimes option really rubs me the wrong way.

I looked into it out of curiousity, and the configs are indeed nice, but buy Sony? Ick.
about:blank is still fast for me
Have you actually done any proofs in one of these systems? (or used one?)

Natural numbers are used because of the induction principle you get: it's very useful, and generally straightforward to use in lots of contexts (e.g., just the other day I had students proving the correctness of multiplication implemented as iterated addition; the multiplication is over integers, but the inner loop is after you've ensured what you are iterating is non-negative, since you decrement each iteration, and _proving_ it is much more straightforward if you interpret the loop counter as a natural number).

And your point about syntax is also baffling: Coq will display natural numbers as decimal literals, not "S(S(S...".
If you disable javascript, you can read the article.
I think it's time to rethink the nature of the tests. Open up the calculator restriction to any model that is not networked in any way.

My kids are in high school now and it seems like what the tests are really measuring is the ability for the kids to take a test. The SAT feels especially useless as an indicator of anything other than that.

> There are many reasons why Google wouldn't want to give a comment too, but they did it anyway.

Which only show that Google has more to win by giving a comment than if they didn't. That could show that steering the public opinion is more beneficial to them than what may follow.

> I don't think it's reasonable to look at a clear

They clearly mentioned "including personal matters such as 1:1s, medical appointments and family activities". After reading the comment and understanding that they actually just subscribed to the work calendars of theses peoples, that do happens to put personal activities there. They made it seems like their goals was to follow their personal activities, which more likely wasn't. It made me realize how disingenuous their memo was and wasn't made to show the truth but to smear them.

This is why I don't trust them in this situation. Is this reasonable?

I want to add that not trusting Google in this situation doesn't means I do trust the employee that got fired. As you said, they gave no response, thus I have nothing to use to either trust them, or not.

Taxes would take away the UBI for people that can afford desirable areas. Rents probably wouldn't go up in the manner you describe.

I love stadium sounds and I usually hate when broadcasters cut out all the crowd singing, etc. BUT the vuvuzelas are in such number than instead of making single horn sounds it's just a 100% BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzz all the game. When you watch one game, it's ok, when you watch more, or all the games, it's annoying as hell, rly.

My weekend project.

* Tries to give all the information you need instead of a rating.

* Open source, so you can self host it.

* Does the entire certificate chain.

* Allows to paste a CRL/Cert

* Validates the certificate, chain, CRL and OCSP (of every cert in the chain)

* Has easy copy-pastable PEM versions of certs

* Ciphersuite enumeration as an option.

* Fast.
So, uh... sources? Because the parent article had sources. Simply from a logical standpoint, it makes sense to me that having a safety net would make person less risk averse.
