Why can't you create a documentation file which explains the code and how to get started. Tell me an idea more simple than this
This reminds of David Icke, and his whole theory that extra terrestrial lizard people are running everything. You might be tempted to think this is some sort of metaphor, and in that light, perhaps it makes some amount of sense. But no, he means actual lizard people.
My nespresso coffee capsules went from £22 to £30 so it isn't so much the delivery delays but the increase in price which is annoying.
I’m having trouble seeing why this couldn’t be a widespread solution. It uses the same supply lines; the mask is designed to maintain a seal and support normal breathing.

What prevents this from being an option when the alternative is, I dunno, death?

Is this actually a “ventilator”? Or is it just a mask and it’s the rest of the air delivery system that’s in short supply? Can anyone point to a good basic intro to the “design a ventilator” problem?

I also just noticed that Safari 5's Reader feature will grab the next page as you scroll down. Awesome.
So does WP, and blogger I believe.

It really is up to the user/s to decide what best suits them. The advantage is the choice
I'm not opposed to anything that seems like it might help bring more people to JRuby (and by extension, to Ruby). You can already access most of JRuby's internals via our Java integration layer, and that includes the AST, various core types, class structures and method tables, and so on. So much of this you could probably prototype without us adding anything. Beyond that, I'm interested in possible enhancements in JRuby to "over-optimize" code (like opting out of certain Ruby behaviors in a limited scope if they're just overhead for your app), and we're obviously always trying to improve how JRuby integrates with Java itself.

So yes, there are many great plans...and user demand (especially paid users!) can make anything happen.

Startups get acquired because the executives at the big company like the founders and have been friends with them for a long time...

Maybe it happens, but this has not been my experience, or the experience of several of my friends who have had their startups acquired.
You seem to be getting confused about the relationship here.

No, I'm not.

Getting a payment from someone is very different to trying to get something for free from a company, or trying to get acquired.

You promise the company payment. The guy in the e-mail was promised continued discussion at a specific point in time. The point I'm making is that if you shortchange a company, they have more power to punish you than if they shortchange you. Thus, I don't understand this casual attitude with companies, where if you don't get a response you just "give up".

I don't understand why everybody is emailing Steve Jobs all of a sudden, and I certainly wouldn't just start sending email to CEOs of companies.

What's wrong with sending an e-mail to a CEO? I genuinely don't understand this. We saw the same thing with that prick from AT&T. Why is it so taboo to jerk the chain of the person in charge? Is their time just so valuable that they shouldn't even have to bother with the lowly proles?
And my comment was related to earl's 2nd sentence. The one right before my reply.

And Earl's second sentence, read properly, also points out that paedophilia is orthogonal to homosexuality. He was proving that A is not a proper subset of B by pointing out the elements of A which are not in B. I assume he didn't bother to mention the elements of A which are in B because they're not relevant to the proof at hand.

I pick my words carefully. Not every reader does as much, and sometimes this happens

Perhaps you're carefully picking which words you read instead of carefully picking which words you write.
Not tracking people is quite hard when things like an IP address in a server log is considered personal data. You need to switch off a lot of the standard default logging on your servers, or work to configure it to not record any "personal identifiable data" after your lawyers have told you what that means in the context of your app, to not track people. In any significant website that's a lot of work and you lose a lot of useful stuff like effective error logs as well as tracking information. It's not hard to understand why people just block the EU instead.
+1 for this advice. In my experience skepticism and hesitation (within reason) are often highly regarded in these environments, and enthusiastic upstart types are seen as inexperienced / naive, even when that's not the case.
Perhaps they could turn it into a score, so users can see how they're doing, and Twitch could just admit they've become China.

Ahh! Here we go.

Something other than fetch happened in the park!

That still leaves the question of whether your activities outside the animal conflict were anything besides fetch and how those activities contribute to some articulable training regimen.

The conflict changes the entire thing and it is relevant!

Now someone has to answer the question about why your dog is not on a leash to the other dog owner.

In my other comment, I spoke about fleshing this out some. That is what they need.

Secondly, yeah path of least resistance is to not step up for you, report the call, and go through the motions.

What incentive do they have to step up for you?

How do they sell it to the other dog owner?

After considerable, and entertaining by the way, discussion how your game is differentiated from any game of fetch remains unclear. In my view, this is likely the primary reason it went the way it did for you.

That officer needed a clear, compelling reason to step up in your favor. Did not have it.

I don't and have been looking for it, again as a general exercise.

Nothing personal here man. Just found how this played out interesting.
Oh come on. You have to keep your head pretty deep in the sand to think this was just tourists wandering through the Capitol. They killed a police officer and were chanting that they wanted to kill the VP and Speaker of the House. They flew a confederate flag inside the Capitol. Stop making excuses for traitors.

TBH as someone trying to use Python professionally it is extremely frustrating that basic things with regards to package management are something you have to iterate towards, as opposed to just being obvious and default.
I'd love to buy an Electric car in a heartbeat as I think a lot about climate change and would love to play my part to reduce emissions by driving an EV but so far it is not just practical and affordable for me. The EMIs are high, range anxiety is there especially we go on a lot of road trips so when it came time to buy a new car I went with Corolla Hybrid. It gives 57 MPG and costs 300/month in EMI. And it is pretty reliable so looks like I'd need to wait a few years (5-7 years at least) to buy an EV.
It sounds to me like your ideal situation could be implemented with the tools we already have at hand - it is just an issue of default settings and how the package maintainers set compilation and installation options. Unless you really wanna go hardcore and advocate for something that is impossible for users/developers to break, which would most likely require a formally verified microkernel [0] - at the very least.

This can backfire, because if you see the original source, it looks like it's just full of pop culture references, and isn't as funny or original. (cf. http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SeinfeldIsUnfunny )

> If they already have the CA stuff ready can they just release that?

While I'm sure they have something ready[0], I'm not sure they have a fully-worked-out policy for running it (required to get into certificate chains), or a production deployment of it, or a third-party vulnerability test of it.

Additionally, ACME verification is a vaguely complicated protocol which will likely need a tool to sign the various messages involved (or you're going to be looking at munging together OpenSSL commands), and you're looking at the developer preview of that.

What? The law is the law. The entire point of a jury is to find the defendant guilty or not guilty of said issue at hand - the law!
I remember reading that Microsoft was moving the WPF framework into maintenance mode as they focus on the WinRT variant of UI development. Interesting that from the release notes, WPF appears to be getting feature development again. Hard to know without Windows 10 consumer announcements if Microsoft internally is back-tracking on the idea of fullscreen desktop apps.
Yeah, because consuming fewer calories than you burn at your basal metabolic rate is totally sustainable.
Welcome to the world of patents.
I am already loving it. I would love to sign up for the premium plan.. but would prefer the security of paying through a more established payment service. Can you add paypal or something else as the payment processor rather than asking for the card details on the site?
no, it's that the greek letters reminded me of the twitter "Im MoCkInG SoMeThInG sTuPid" format
He was also a terrorist: a member of the Muslim Brotherhood, which is classified as a terror organization by many states (including SA). So how is this different than other states killing terrorists?
Cool, thanks.

I don't think "flipping the bird" is specific, it's either "I'm a jerk" or "I'm angry [with you]" but they both seem pretty wide ranging.

Pointing is really none specific, do you want it, want to look at it, want someone else to hold it, etc..

Military and crane operator signs seem like they're limited sign languages. Excellent example.

Driving is a good one, but it's 3 specific signs, and then pointing. I'm often annoyed that other drivers don't know BSL!

Thanks for illustrating the point, very helpful.
If you are trying to make me cry, I think you are succeeding :(.
I love css transitions, but ending a transition with "display: none" is somehow still a pain.
The common name for it is "porn mode". It communicates the design goal very well: the point is to hide the fact you're visiting some pages from other people who may be using the same computer.
Maybe, but I don't see the point. Speaking with your hands is weird no matter what you are doing. Learning ASL signs instead of something else is that much harder, and ASL is a lot richer than either.

Of course I can't claim any ability in ASL. When taking the baby sign language classes my teacher was very insistent that to the baby what sign you use doesn't matter, but we should use ASL signs because learning any other sign isn't any easier, and this way we have a few dozen signs that are actually useful after the baby grows up. Which is the point: if you learn some signs of ASL you can communicate better than pointing. When you learn something else your are just pointing and hoping you are understood.
I think it works well as an analogy, thank you very much.

If I want to learn about, I dunno, the ancient Maya, I can go ahead, book a trip to Mexico, go to all the museums, get my hands on the primary sources, etc. This process will take some amount of time, likely years. Im not talking about the knock-on effects, very great as they are, just the pure knowledge.

Or I can grab a few books and use the authors' time and effort. This will take some number of hours, maybe days. But not years.

Such books are a much better use of my time to learn about the Maya than reading NatGeo articles (though still good), or some blog posts (alright in quality) or a bunch of internet comments (still, maybe good here and there). Yes, of course it's a mesh of all these things. But I believe that well researched content (mostly that still means a book) is the best 'bang for your minute' that you can get.

I'll put it this way: I'm trying to invest some limited amount of time in learning more about something or enjoying my time fruitfully. With what little time I have, the best way to learn more about something is (typically) via a book. Enjoyment, sure, it varies more, but books tend to be more, I dunno, rich (?) in a way.
Yeah I didn’t say ideal. But if you are on Win/Mac (there are a lot of those people) and need a Linux box without much fuss it’s a good go-to solution.
They even mention CE compliant products not adhering to the logo’s formal specification. There is literally nothing that makes it "presumably China Export".
> Saying “It is not a form of punishment; it is simply a procedural change.” can be used to enable any such matter.

Yes but the converse is also true, claiming that something is being done as an unfair punishment, as an argument against it.

In this case, it's also worth noting that most of the monarchy's private assets are vast amounts of property and land, of which they are the landlords. The state seizing and administering this property for the benefit of the country, rather than to perpetually enrich this elite, is a public good.

Rather than taking this to be a punishment on the royals, consider it an anti-punishment on the people afflicted by their predatory rent-seeking behaviour.
Buying a company isn't like buying a product off a store shelf. Valve wouldn't sell to GameStop and GameStop can't take control by buying shares because Valve isn't public.

I know sometimes buyouts can look easy but there's often some massive power imbalance at play. In some cases it's having enough money to make even the strongest willed person give in. In other cases it's a matter of knowing that you can't compete so you either sell or get destroyed by them a few months later anyway.
WizTree is better and far faster than WinDirStat (think seconds instead of minutes to scan your whole system).

Seemingly "small" investments were enough to strong-arm the NBA and Blizzard into punishing people speaking out for Hong Kong, so it appears it gives them enough.
Check out the GPD Win devices, they are basically handheld x86 PCs running Windows 10 (you can install Linux too). The third one was announced recently (i'm not sure if it is yet available) and is quite good (also has a more Switch-like design while the others are more like tiny laptops) - here is a video of Linus from Linus Tech Tips gushing over it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3LclRTo2YnQ

One issue they have is that they're expensive (the earlier ones can be found for cheap, note however that the first one might have some battery issues) compared to the Switch, but on the other hand they are not susceptible to planned obsolescence and extreme locked down environments like pretty much all consoles are: you can run any game of the gigantic PC game library there (assuming the specs are met... of course :-P) and new games will be released for pretty much as long as the hardware can function.

Here is me using mine with an unfinished version of an MS-DOS game jam game (i had to put my tablet between me and the handheld to record it hence the awful controlling): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BF8WqllGKg8

(yeah they're also neat demo devices :-P)
Are you quoting yourself, quoting yourself?
And by remarkable coincidence, Finland's GDP per capita is roughly equivalent to GDP per capita for white Americans: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ethnic_groups_in_the_U...

Maybe, just maybe, the differentiating factor is poverty, not race?
There are signicant "Valleys" in Ottawa, Montréal, Vancouver, and in the province of Alberta. I would speculate that the more "relatively" active software companies since dot com have surprisingly been in Quebec. In the past, Vancouver has been home to many gaming companies, and being in the Pacific northwest it is close to Seattle, Redmond, with some direct influences from Silicon Valley.

EA - Montréal, Vancouver (Black Box & EAC), Edmonton (Bioware)

Toronto's "Valleys" are primarily in the outlying suburban cities: Markham / Steeles Avenue, and Mississauga. Ottawa and Kitchener / Waterloo are fairly distant cities from Toronto. Waterloo is home to RIM and the university: http://www.cs.uwaterloo.ca/

RIM - Waterloo, Mississauga, Ottawa
Nortel - Mississauga, Belleville, Ottawa (2)
Oracle - Mississauga, Markham, Ottawa, Toronto - Steeles, Toronto (Numetrix)
Microsoft - Mississauga, Ottawa, Toronto (MSN)
IBM - Markham
AMD - Markham
Apple - Markham
Don't get me wrong though, I totally agree that it was a cheap shot at the iPad. Although I can't imagine using the iPad to get things done, it seems pretty good for consuming content though.
What i really hate about operating systems is that they the same as they were in the beginning. THe only thing that changed was the visual appearance. We still have a taskbar, a desktop,etc. Can't someone reinvent how operating systems work?
A great point, but car companies do iterate. The iteration just occurs over model years.

Take the widely acclaimed Chevy Malibu as an example. This started off as a pretty cruddy GM, but now it's reputedly competitive with Japanese models.

I'm sure that hard deadlines for production, very strict cost controls etc., conspire to impose a more rigid than agile process.

Perhaps, take a look at UK car companies in the 50's for a looser approach to car design.

Philip Greenspun had some pretty choice words on MIT Media Lab.

Scroll down to Example 3.

It sure looks like Greenspun's page, using simple formatting, has aged very very many times better than anything the MIT Media Lab would have been doing.
Sounds like the price of this resource is just finally getting in line with its actual cost. Bandwidth has never been free, and just hoping and praying that your customers don't use too much is stupid. When there was one real smart phone, and it could only use edge, with no custom apps and not many other services set up to use it, you could get away with "unlimited". Not now.

I mean, this is capitalism, right? How is one company going to charge too much more than the cost of the bandwidth without another company undercutting them? I don't pay monthly for unlimited breakfast cereal, or gasoline, and yet somehow capitalism has managed to keep those prices in check. I have no idea why this guy thinks that bandwidth is so different from every other good or service.
I almost believed you, until I ran through this version of the problem, and realized that, if I know Monty always opens the lower-numbered goat door, it actually gives a completely different result.

In particular, if I pick door 2, and Monty picks door 3, this _guarantees_ that the car is behind door 1 under your version of the problem. Meanwhile, if I pick door 2, and Monty picks door 1, it is now 50/50 whether I should switch or not, instead of 2/3 to 1/3. Try the math yourself and see.

So the reason the "fake math" quits working is that you've changed the problem; if you do the math using the method at the link, for your version of the problem, you _rightly_ get different results, and I believe they are correct.

Competence in pattern detection is pretty much an IQ test. When you go higher on the scale, the number of non-whites, non-asians, and non-jews drops precipitously.
I wouldn't bet my house on this prediction, but I would bet a few hundred $. For one, maybe the competence required is not that high.
But you are surely wrong about Special Forces. They are overwhelmingly white. See here: http://e-ring.foreignpolicy.com/posts/2013/05/10/budget_watc...
Oh for crying out loud. A well-nourished human body can go for between a week and a month without food. Nothing bad would have happened to his health (he stated he is not diabetic) after a day or so without eating.

It was probably because of the inexcusable treatment and stress that he received. That is more than enough to be angry about, no need to make stuff up.
email is on the way! Although the idea doesn't scale well, this actually seems like the seed of an interesting business.

I'd had a similar idea for dating sites: hire someone to write your profile, based on the best available data. OKCupid's blog has some great posts on how to basically SEO your profile (but instead of search traffic, you get dating traffic...) and it seems useful to a segment of the population to have it done professionally.

Anyhow, look forward to hearing from you
Some things in social networking come off as creepy, others don't. Usually, the key difference is whether the user or the system leads in applying the feature.

Using facial recognition to help me tag my friends in a photo is not particularly creepy. Automatically tagging my friends in a photo right when I upload it, definitely creepy.

Take an example: I usually interact with Alice, Bob, and Charlie around the subject of Sports. I, as a user, will find it creepy if the system automatically creates a "Sports" group with Alice, Bob, and Charlie.

However, it's a different circumstance if the system waits for me to create a "Sports" group, and then searches our history, and says "we suggest adding these users to your new group based on previous interaction".

If you let the user lead the activity, and then aid them in the process, you sidestep a lot of the social creepiness of making decisions for them.
If you're serious about cheapest as the most important variable, then the sort of glib (but true) answer to this question is to observe where people who have no other choice end up living, which means a trailer in a rural area or housing in the cheapest parts of any large U.S. metro.

If you're lucky enough to have startup capital, then you can reduce your recurring expenses to practically nothing. You can find a trailer for a few grand, for example, and functional houses can be found for less than $20k in many American cities. You can probably find parks charging only a couple hundred a month for lot rent, if you go the trailer route, and property taxes will be minimal on houses in the described range, if you choose that, instead.

If you don't want to invest anything up front, you can still find housing for around $350/mo in the worst parts of the Midwestern city I live in. (But you shouldn't expect a very hands-on landlord.) You might even find weekly- or daily-rate housing that's cheaper, but I've never personally looked into that sort of thing.

Obviously, there's a reason that these areas are so inexpensive, but I've optimized only for cost.
