> What I am saying is that free schools end up with the easy students.

Of course they do, but isn't that sort of the point with competition? The good schools get the good students, that would happed regardless of who owned them.

> In which areas are the schools of Engelska Skolan? Academedia? Kunskapsskolan? Look in areas above the 80th socioeconomic percentile

You keep repeating this, I'm not sure why. Do you think I have disputed it? I certainly wouldn't want to start a free school in a ghetto, I'd definitely choose a nice area.

Or are you repeating it because you think it's especially problematic?

> In a system where each school gets a fixed amount of money per student, this puts public schools at a disadvantage, yet the results do not reflect this.

Don't free schools have better results?

> Schools where gifted students flourish

Was this ever promised? Gifted students have never been a priority in Swedish schools.

My problem with the free schools is not that it's unfair, because I don't think it is. You need to look at it from the students' point of view. If we had had ghettos in the 70s and you grew up there, you'd be forced to go to a school with mostly unmotivated children. Nowadays motivated children from problem areas have the option to go to schools in nice areas, together with other motivated students.

No the problem for me is that they are publicly funded but run for profit, that's a crazy system that is very easy to abuse.

The fact that parents don't have to pay just makes it worse, then schools can get away with marketing to students, they don't actually have to provide better education.
Berlin is not a normal European capital in almost every way. Look at Frankfurt (financial capital of Germany/EU) or Munich (capital of Bavaria) if you want to see how Berlin would be if it were "normal". Then you will find stuff like this [0].

That's the basic economic theory I grew up with as well, and it explains why both savings account and mortgage interest rates are so low.

But then you look deeper, and it turns out that the banks can spend and play with your money ten times over. They can earn money off of your debts as well, packaging thousands of mortgages into a neat package and playing with it on the stock market. I have no clue how it all works, but basically 90% if not more of all money is virtual play money for the financial institutions. Crypto is 100% play money.
I just assume the ccp default mode is to cover up, even when there is nothing to cover up. When legitimacy derives from competence rather than from election, you better never have any high profile incompetence.
It is my understanding that verifying the BootROM is not possible once infected with sufficiently malicious code. I talked with Trammell about this briefly and my takeaway was that once you have code on the BootROM, you can control how code is read from the BootROM, making it possible to present the appearance of a non-compromised ROM image.

To the best of my knowledge, the only solution is something sitting on top of the BootROM chip, monitoring for writes. It may also be possible to alter the write-protect/write-enable pin (forget which it has) on the ROM to prevent all writes.
The attack as described is plausible on non-Apple hardware, provided that the system doesn't have UEFI Secure Boot enabled. If it does then you'd need a separate attack to circumvent the requirement for signed drivers.

Also worth mentioning that this isn't specific to Thunderbolt - Expresscard also breaks out PCIe to an externally-accessible port.
With mongodb, you either pass your key along with query or lose your ability to search. In our case, we don't pass the key to the server, yet having the ability to query
A "solution" that repeatedly adds would seem to violate the atomic property, so I think I would call that invalid and not an actual solution?
You're assuming there will be mass movement towards self-driving car pools. I don't think that's the case. I think personal car ownership will persist for quite some time, even with self-driving cars. Having a car in your driveway whenever you want is pretty convenient for just about everyone living in a suburb. Even assuming good cost-reductions from pooling, I'm not sure you can completely make the value proposition to offset convenience.
Once a few do it, it’ll be more likely:

1. that it may be cost effective just to do everywhere

2. that federal legislators will take note that it is popular

A lot of new laws in the US gain popularity at the state level before becoming national law.
This analysis, though on point on a Marxist approach to reality, defies the truth on why is it that people in Russia are motivated to get Ukraine at all costs, instead of another random country and it's not about capitalism at all. It's about history
nationalism, and propaganda, which they share aspects with capitalism, but also are different beasts.
Maybe it’s a sign of destiny that you have to try Satisfactory (the game). It’s a wonderful game. I can’t even say something that is wrong in this game. It’s just pure love from their devs, continuously delivered to you for just one payment.

While FB is on a great trajectory in this space, as of right now I would guess Yelp serves more page views to people looking for information about restaurants. They have some deals but its not extremely compelling.

Two possibilities: Yelp is missing a big opportunity or that opportunity is an illusion; every restaurant doesn't want to offer coupons freely online.

I realize you didn't specifically say restaurants, but if it isn't happening in that extremely competitive industry, why would it happen anywhere else?
Deja vu all over again. Most of them said same thing about facebook twitter and linkedin. Look where they are now. Agreed foursquare/gowalla need to provide real value for checkins.

I can only sympathize with entrepreneurs on 'what if google did it' and now 'facebook did it'. Till yesterday location services were awesome and now that facebook entered in the space it is bad? Give me a break.
I was under the impression that bulk rates subsidize artificially low first class rates.
I think this is the meaty quote: "Apart from brief periods of openness created by new inventions or antitrust breakups, every medium, starting with the telegraph, has eventually proved to be a case study in monopoly. In fact, many of those firms are still around, if not quite as powerful as they once were, including AT&T, Paramount and NBC."

Also, your latter quote seems to me to be about size & convenience, not networks. He's using "network" in the sense "on the internet", not in the sense of "network effects". My basic point is that the article has a lot of good things to say, and says relatively little about network effects. So if people read your comment first, they're not going to read the article because they can think "oh yeah network effects, been there done that"
Ugh, the ui for browsing the comics is inconsistent and "makes me think" (the next comic is in a different spot each time, forcing me to hunt for it). the xkcd interface is significantly better than this, and probably took much less time to implement.
Some lectins break down better than others, but for the most part lectins are extremely durable.

The lectins in legumes are a lot less of a big deal compared to the lectins in wheat (gluten).
Thats just stupid - people can download all their content of p2p networks, but not get it legally?

Reminding date should be random. Also after a few reminders, a user may not be likely to open the email again, so you need something more than this.
The author of this post submitted it 45 days ago: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1869264

Interesting how the luck of getting noticed on the new page is so important to getting engagement. I wonder if in this case it's the difference in titles.
I am very very impressed by your posts over a year ago, and by your recent achievements - as someone who hustled his way from redundant to twice my original salary in a similar time I sympathise with the effort.

I would say that perhaps both of you are missing one important component - specialisation. giving off the right signals for a particular niche enables you to credibly sell yourself in that niche (be it email-life cycle products or Angularjs coding)

I read your post from a year ago - you mentioned three interviews, Ruby, ObjC and JS. I would guess that today you would not dream of going to the first two - simply because your strengths lie in JS.

You have specialised - and as such become more valuable. But you could have specialised in many things other than language and still gotten good jobs. A specialist commands more money, due to scarcity and percieved increase in the probability of success.

However I still think patio11 is also right - of two equally qualified specialists, one that is better at marketing and promotion and negotiation is going to do drastically better.

But no matter how good Ramit Sethi is on negotiation, if he goes for a C++ job he is not going to beat out a specialist even if the specialist just says yes to the first offer.

(Little assumption there about Ramit's C++ skillz)
That would certainly be the cleanest solution, but I think we rely on so many old servers, CDNs, shared hosts etc that implementors (rightfully) worry that it would hurt uptake.
Sign up for a free account at elance.com and spend a day taking their tests. It's the fastest way I can think of to demonstrate that you know something. Even if you don't take any work through the site, you'll have some evidence of your skillset that you'll be able to show potential employers.
I don't understand Shelley (The author of the submitted post). Shelley seems to constantly complain about the work that has been done in the WHATWG, and in particular Ian Hickson's work as editor. Shelley seems to like to use W3C process (like the format objection that is mentioned in the post) to slow things down or drown debate in process.

"Though frequently contentious, and overly bureaucratic at times, the W3C effort is the only effort where people other than Ian Hickson may have a say about what is, or is not, in the HTML5 specification. "

This is just wrong. The WHATWG is actually the easiest way to get your ideas considered in HTML 5. This is because all feedback sent to the public WHATWG mailing list is considered and replied to by the editor. Anyone can join the list. Try joining the 'public' HTML W3C mailing list some time.

"Just as important, the W3C provides the legal stability that allows all of the browser companies to freely, and safely, participate."

Funny, browser vendors seemed to do just fine implementing and contributing to HTML 5 while the W3C was busy XHTMLing there way to obsolescence.

The W3C public mailing is currently full of debate about how the WHATWG specification dares to exist alongside the W3C specification. The W3C spec is based on the WHATWG spec and future development continues in the WHATWG spec. Even if that spec was removed I'm sure someone else will start a new spec for new enhancements to HTML that HTML users and implementers agree on. That might as well continue to be the WHATWG spec as far as I can see.

What really seems to be happening is a few people on the W3C HTML list don't like the amount of influence the browser vendors and WHATWG are having on the direction of HTML. They've lost control of the what goes on in HTML and are trying to go back to the approach of large, never implemented, specs where no two implementations work the same.

It seems to me that the 'benevolent dictator' approach of the WHATWG development of HTML 5 has been much more successful in getting browsers to implement new features than the 'design by committee - but only those who pay to join' approach of the W3C that the original submission's author wants.
Court summons?
Destroying books has a cost. Scan enough books, and there's your usecase.

There's a very large grey area between "books you don't want to destroy" and "books so fragile you can't/won't flip quickly through them".
color vision, opposable thumbs...

okay granted, these ancestors were millions of years ago and only a couple feet tall. But it's not a controversial assertion.
I agree with fruit, he seemed to contradict himself since he praises foods with low GI, but ostracizes fruit.

His counter argument for the lack of sustainability for this diet is the "cheat day" but I haven't found that to be effective at all with sustaining the diet.
It's worth noting that the Supreme Court is not the ultimate say. If the SCOTUS does something that the public does not approve, the duty of the public's elected representatives is to change the law such that it is brought into line with the interests of their constituents. The judiciary does not make law, but they do decide what the law means, and in this case the Federal Arbitration Act was decided to disallow a class-action lawsuit.

If you're worried that class-action will disappear all together, let your representatives know.
I know exactly what you mean. I'm at Penn State currently finishing a class that only covered HTML4 (no 5 at all), and the teacher still taught us to do layouts with tables instead of CSS.

It's pathetic and frustrating, especially because there are already better tutorials for free online -- like Harvard / Stanford / MIT open courseware -- or for dirt cheap monthly subs at places like Lynda and tuts+. One of the problems is just organizing it all in a logical fashion from so many scattered places, which seems to be one thing a unified source like this project will remedy.
I've found this to be true as well. My writing ability and creativity seem to improve when I stay up late. I'd like to see a real study into this. But anecdotal evidence seems to support this idea.
Try living primitively, without technology, no stove, no refrigerator, no guns, no tractors, none of this stuff. What are you going to eat?

Are you going to eat meat? Just try to capture a wild animal with your bare hands and eat it raw, you will look ridiculous. This isn't a practical option without technology.

And even if you manage to capture it somehow or scavenge one that is already dead, there are tons of bacteria and diseases that you can get from raw meat since humans don't have the hydrochloric acid that carnivores do. Are you going to eat diary? Of course not, it is totally unnatural to eat another animals milk.

Legumes, beans, and grains although healthy, generally need to be cooked or otherwise prepared. They aren't edible raw. Similarly, many vegetables need to be cooked and they contain parts that are indigestible. Nuts often need to be cracked open.

On the other hand, fruits are just there on the tree ready for picking they don't need any special preparation - it should be completely obvious that this is the food of primitive people - our ancestors.
Write up an article and submit it to American Thinker, maybe check out how other people have analyzed it. Try and reach a conclusion: needs further analysis. (also I'd consider inserting it into my unofficial feed @amthinker as an admin note)

I might just say that for O to come out so late in the piece with his long-form is in my view, poor character on his part, especially being a constitutional law professor.
The goal here is simplicity, above all else. (I would recommend Data.ByteString.Lazy, though, if you're interested in processing potentially large files without running out of memory.)
I think the real underlying question is about time-money tradeoff.

As for a 4-hour work week, there's a sense in which a work week that is too short will bore you to death. I would take a pay cut in exchange for, say, 30 or 20 hour work week, but 4 hours a week seems extreme. Plus, if you are doing something you enjoy, "work week" doesnt have the same meaning as a traditional 9-5 job.
I write "Bested viewed in Netscape Navigator 3.0+" on my footer.
Sure, new technologies have changed things for the better. Sophisticated web pages should be created when sophisticated web pages are necessary.

Sophisticated web pages are not necessary to disseminate text-only context. 90's HTML is perfectly capable of doing that.

I have no problem with loading 30MB of JS libraries into the browser for an application that actually does something. I have a problem with loading 30MB of shit to read 10kB worth of news.
Considering just how aggressive BREIN is, I would not use any VPN service headquartered in the Netherlands.
This sounds like the "I bring a bomb onto the plane, which I don't explode. The odds of there being two bombs on a plane is so tiny it's insignificant, so I'm safe from terrorism" plan. Seems sound to me!

Other potential safety precautions involve bringing a polka-patterned snake-catching device: specifically, an ASP.NET
Because the state does this in lieu of other, more traditional tax sources due to crap like Prop 13.
> Not one wants to live in a society where your every moment must be dominated by one cost-benefit analysis or another.

Except we all do, regardless of how society is organized. For example, is that luscious chocolate torte's taste worth the detriment to one's health? Is driving a little faster worth the extra risk of getting a ticket? Should I buy or rent? Should I buy the expensive shoes or the knockoffs? Should I buy it now at the higher price or wait till I get home and order it online for cheaper?
Now, this looks very interesting indeed. What would get me to throw money at this instantly would be an imgur passthrough; given the ID of an imgur album or image from my account, I would love to be able to pull it into imgz.org transparently. ie something like imgz.org/imgur/<id> which then redirects to the correct id afterwards.
This is exactly right. It's one of the many reasons why I ditched my car as soon as that was feasible.
There are many different forms of writing (https://ivypanda.com/essays/various-forms-of-writing/), but for me the best idea was to start my own diary, every day in the morning or in the evening I wrote down my thoughts, experiences or some ideas, reviews about books, films, TV shows, some moments of my life that touched me. I liked it so much that I trained myself to the daily practice of writing.
I don't know if I'd say they're too simple. I think they're too simple in some ways and too complex in others. For me, I think a ton of unnecessary complexity comes from isolating per build step rather than per pipeline, especially when you're trying to build containers.

Compare a GitLab CI build with Gradle. In Gradle, you declare inputs and outputs for each task (step) and they chain together seamlessly. You can write a task that has a very specific role, and you don't find yourself fighting the build system to deal with the inputs / outputs you need. For containers, an image is the output of `docker build` and the input for `docker tag`, etc.. Replicating this should be the absolute minimum for a CI system to be considered usable IMO.

If you want a more concrete example, look at building a Docker container on your local machine vs a CI system. If you do it on your local machine using the Docker daemon, you'll do something like this:

- docker build (creates image as output)

- docker tag (uses image as input)

- docker push (uses image/tag as input)

What do you get when you try to put that into modern CI?

- build-tag-push

Everything gets dumped into a single step because the build systems are (IMO) designed wrong, at least for anyone that wants to build containers. They should be isolated, or at least give you the option to be isolated, per pipeline, not per build step.

For building containers it's much easier, at least for me, to work with the concept of having a dedicated Docker daemon for an entire pipeline. Drone is flexible enough to mock something like that out. I did it a while back [1] and really, really liked it compared to anything else I've seen.

The biggest appeal was that it allows much better local iteration. I had the option of:

- Use `docker build` like normal for quick iteration when updating a Dockerfile. This takes advantage of all local caching and is very simple to get started with.

- Use `drone exec --env .drone-local.env ...` to run the whole Drone pipeline, but bound (proxied actually) to the local Docker daemon. This also takes advantage of local Docker caches and is very quick while being a good approximation of the build server.

- Use `drone exec` to run the whole Drone pipeline locally, but using docker-in-docker. This is slower and has no caching, but is virtually identical to the build that will run on the CI runner.

That's not an officially supported method of building containers, so don't use it, but I like it more than trying to jam build-tag-push into a single step. Plus I don't have to push a bunch of broken Dockerfile changes to the CI runner as I'm developing / debugging.

I guess the biggest thing that shocks me with modern CI is people's willingness to push/pull images to/from registries during the build process. You can literally wait 5 minutes for a build that would take 15 seconds locally. It's crazy.

I'm pretty sure normalization won't be a problem in my context and with my background. My requirement is simple, and the design straight-forward.

Many thanks for your response.
- what matters and what doesn't (who cares)

Seriously, and for argument's sake, the "do whatever provides value" mantra is too simplistic and provides no value to entrepreneurs or engineers (or hybrid types) whatsoever. Let alone that it doesn't contradict to any of the "lame" stuff you listed. For example, understanding how Facebook works both at the social level and technically may help you in building something that provides value to 600,000,000 Facebook users.

Finally, listing "how we are losing our civil liberties" somewhere between "who's hanging out with who" and "how much to pay for a domain name" is the best way to bury the remains of our civil liberties.
"911 was a game changer in the rules of plane highjacking - nobody ever used a passenger plane as a missile before"

True for civilian planes, but it stretches the imagination a little too far that the US military could discount planes as missiles, given the precedent of pearl harbor.
edw: It's in the health and wellness space. It's not as much about saving effort as monetization potential and I'm not clear I'm good at evaluating that.
others without the requirement to build a site can side-step the web and start with android. it's a cleaner model than the web that learned a lot from it. android xml files are far superior to anything css or javascipt.
I used Migrator.NET for a long time with no problems and I'll probably still use it. But if you can afford it, SQL Source Control by Red Gate is awesome and integrates with your code repository, e.g. Mercurial.
A question for you then: why do you want to open source this project?
from the shoes of an indie dev, we can't afford 500 new images so we tend to use a lot of editing (i.e particles can have different colors, shapes, sizes ). Can't introduce so many 'new'/'groundbreaking' images.
