Absolutely necessary. Looking at you NYtimes and economist
It may also be "less completely unexpected" or "unexpected for legal reasons". I, knowing nothing, would assume that beneath any old cathedral floor is found something. But admitting that may be a much longer process than "accidentally discovering" it when work begins.
Unfortunately Teleport locks SSO behind an “enterprise contact us” price.
IMHO, it should follow `jq`: `dnsq`: adjective noun
What am I supposed to say to that? Proprietary software is not slavery, or even anywhere close to it, even if we accept the argument that it is unethical. I find this entire analogy unhelpful.
I'll add to your false negative case. I only write code over ssh in mostly emacs (and sometimes vim).

A couple years ago I was asked to interview via CoderPad and while I appreciate their attempt at having emacs and vim bindings, the fact that they're not actually accurate was worse than using Google Docs.

That is, it's actively worse to be almost your editor of choice than I think it would be to obviously be a "clumsy editor". In the former case, the interviewer perceives you as poor at writing code when you're fighting with a slightly drunk editor, while in the latter (like at a whiteboard) the interviewer adjusts for the environment.

Edit: the interviewers let me retry via projecting my screen while using emacs locally in a terminal. I hope CoderPad has improved it's key bindings since then, but I hope interviewers test out these editing environments before assuming people would be 100% proficient.
What? Did they try to assassinate Olof Palme? Also why would only the dictators survive?
The same thing happened in shipping, getting rid of the radio officers, which unlike aviation is also compounded by very lax regulation.

Modern ships are filled with fancy electronics, and it's usually poorly designed with broken software, that few know fully how to operate and nobody knows how to fix. This problem is only going to increase as they rely more and more on automation, and it's not going to stop until there is an accident severe enough to prompt aviation-style regulation and safety methodology.
> isn't gonna help make you get thinner lol.

sure as hell isn't but do you actually think the reason 65% of the American population is overweight is burger ads, rather than the simple fact that people unless very explicitly told not to will stuff their faces with cheap and delicious fast food? Do you think that requires coercion? Like in a world where McDonalds doesn't run ads, they all start working out and eat salads?

The algorithm itself only exists to satisfy a never-ending demand by people, it's nothing else than an internet conveyor belt.

When you walk into Twitter HQ and turn the algorithms off you think the people will greet you in the streets as liberators with flowers and open arms? You'll have a riot because Instagram and TikTok don't work any more
I think your magic link is broken. I put in my email addy and got an email that said “click here to confirm your email” but there was no link.
I'm no expert, but here are my thoughts:

1) Don't die in the initial strike. Take a working vacation to the countryside when things look tense if you live near obvious targets.

2) Have a few months' worth of food and water on hand

3) Skill with guns, ammo, and guns, in that order

4) Friends. Have friends who also have a modicum of preparedness and useful skills, or be good at making them

5) Healthcare and sanitation. Know the basics, have the basics.

That's a start from some rando on the internet
I dunno. I've never met an unscrapable website, IP addresses are cheap, and any bot trying to sway real people's opinions would do well to rate limit itself per account anyway. I wouldn't want to have try to design a website that I personally wouldn't be able to bot.
In Australia there is always a Deputy Prime Minister available to fulfill the role of the PM in their absence because of illness, travel or leave. That said in the case of a coalition government, such as we have now, they are from the minority party in the coalition, and the deputy would unlikely to succeed as a permanent PM in the event of a sudden demise such as drowning in the surf - or taken by a Chinese submarine if you believe that. (For those not in the know this happened to Harold Holt, our PM in 1967l
Hard mode doesn't change the optimal strategy much. It just makes a small fraction of words "insta-lose" because if play one and get unlucky, you'll have to switch to eliminating one letter at a time and probably run out of turns before you've covered all possibilities.
Came here thinking about how much my time as a B|X ref has helped me socially/professionally.
Some highways in Sweden go up to 130 kph. E4 in Halland is an example. Still not 85mph but close.
> Having a Muslim racially profiled, intimidated and then put on a no-fly list for no reason is

.. is what the DHS was created for? After 9/11 some Muslims had to be punished for something, regardless of personal guilt, and here we are.

There have been worse outcomes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abdulrahman_al-Awlaki
I worked for Twitter up until 2017 and when I was there it was much higher than 20-30%, definitely >50%. It's very possibly changed since then, but at least at that point in time Twitter was running Mesos on many thousands of machines.
Being able to hide from a government that wants to drone you while still being in the cellphone network requires much much much more OPSEC than just using Signal. For an average user Signal is about protecting the content of your messages, not your network, and it's good at that.
It’s (the start of hyper)inflation, plain and simple. Almost a fifth of all circulating dollars were created in 2020. And they keep printing money.. The dollar lost a lot of value and we see it first in asset prices, soon the real economy will follow. So don’t see it as stocks rising 30 % but the dollar losing 30 % of its value.
> The comparison is certainly valid. Almost all the FBI's "terrorism" convictions over the last 20 years have been people set ip by a CI or agent, including the FBI supplying materiel.

There's a quantitive difference between an FBI agent inviting an idiot to coffee, and fabricating a plot with him to blow up a post office, and an FBI agent getting in touch with an idiot who is plotting to blow up a post office, and offering to give him fake explosives.

The former might be entrapment. The latter is good policework.
Could be stock in Spotify, which is speculation, not corporate profit. The fact that they got 2.5 billion investment show people think it will make money, not that it's making money.
This is also quite different than mass public surveillance.

Good on Michael Siebel and YC (and everyone else mentioned in the article) for supporting Hutson. Companies like JPay and Securus are awful, awful businesses that prey on the families of incarcerated people.

There's a lot of evidence to that visitation and a reliable social network are key factors in improving outcomes for paroled and released prisoners, and lowering the rates of recidivism. Anything that makes it easier to maintain relationships between people in prison and those outside the prison who love them pays of a huge social dividend. We really need to reverse the trend of recent years towards making visitation and other forms of prisoner contact much more expensive and difficult in the name of 'security.'
Just following up: that missing field bug is now resolved.
So this has been going on since at least 2008... Extremely disappointing but not surprising.[0] What Americans forget is that GHCQ's policies affect us as much or more than the NSA's and that by 'backdoor-ing' crypto, as Cameron & Obama want, we forfeit our privacy to foreign governments as well.

How can democratic society continue to function if the state indulges its interest in journalists' and attorneys' confidential communications without any inhibitions?

This demonstrates that Cameron's pledge to only access laypersons' communication in the most "dire circumstances" (the case he makes for backdooring crypto) is pure rhetoric.

Have you tried box sets (DVDs) of popular tv-series via Amazon affiliates program?
It's the "why is" in the original title that makes it not substantively different from the headline here. Both make the assumption facebook is in fact going to war
actually running the hqx algo on the art and then throwing it through ANY vectorisation engine with a slight roundness comes on top of any of these.

And Microsoft is not really being fair to Vector Magic here, there's a ton of settings there to improve that rendering depending on what you want...
> “So it is to some extent a similar case because it’s a new country and so I believe it’s going to be extremely difficult, if not impossible, a new member state coming out of one of our countries getting the agreement of the others.”

See this is where everything just gets confusing... Scotland already IS a country by itself, as is England, NI, and Wales, so if Scotland were to become independent, it would in no way be a "new" country, would it? mhhhh, my head hurts.
Physical stimulation probably happens more often in front of the computer these days too...
Not sure what he was doing - way back then at the NPL probably more technical programming woudl not be surprised if it was FORTRAN IV or 66.
The second to last paragraph makes an excellent point. One of the reasons you see governments in eastern Europe making it a point to help deploy fiber is they see it as a way to attract business. American cities don't have the same sense of needing to compete since they're on top to begin with.
Russians in general are not that fond of sandwiches!
>Those kinds of professionals won't be comparing it to other MacBooks, but to other computers of the same form factor.

Not really, since most of those kinds of professionals concerned already used Intel Macbooks. It's not like they're gonna win the "build some tower yourself crowd".
Very interesting work. The bottom of the article has links[1] to the GH repo, but I take it that it's a private repo?

No, it’s not. The people hawking that claim do so knowing that it’s a good strategy for getting low-information voters to tune out, but that makes it a useful political tactic rather than true.
> There was also a 2020 Supreme Court ruling that state governments were not liable for copyright violations because they have sovereign immunity.

What, what? Does this mean that state governments can freely pirate software for example?
The example given allows the application layer to instantiate a customer object with a list of order objects in one database query. Yes, you could do that by returning JSON or XML, but why have the extra step of parsing the text? Directly accessing the result set and acting on the object instances will be more efficient.

Everyone in the country gets x dollars per month/year/whatever to use on whatever they like.

Now a consumption tax is easy and indiscriminate. Everything is taxed at Y% at the cash register.

I think I read somewhere like a 23% tax would be sufficient to offset all income/corporate taxes.
I'm sure they could process exported gmail data dump:

This is an editorialized title, submission title should be: "Testing Theories of American Politics: Elites, Interest Groups, and Average Citizens"
Well, you may be getting good programmers but you don't know if you are getting the best candidates of course. Spolsky's argument makes a lot of sense. [edit: PG edited after I posted this]
Ah, thanks for the explanation.

(And I apologise for the "droning" remark, I actually only listened to the first half sentence of what you had to say -- I wasn't expecting to hear a voice when I clicked on the "next slide" button -- so I'm not qualified to judge your speaking voice...)
There's more to planning your press and media attention than your product, though. Here are couple of benefits from a good PR strategy:

- Investors can hear about you

- Showing relevant press from a reputable source is a great way to overcome objections to your product

- It attracts excellent talent that is more risk averse than, say, someone who is willing to join early stage/pre money or when the startup is in stealth mode

- You get to set the tone of your brand in the public eye

- You can get a critical amount of press momentum with a lot of planning and a little bit of luck. The idea being that if you can get a few big -- or relevant -- publications to write about you at the same time, it will get the attention of secondary publications and down onto humble bloggers.

PR might not always be a good strategy for product awareness. But planning and guiding how the public sees you is a great strategy for any company.
As I've explained before, jobs aren't stories. Though jobs get displayed like stories and get inserted into the frontpage feed along with them, they're a different type of object. The reason I didn't give them comments was that I thought of them as ads, not content.
You answered his comment but not mine. My point doesn't depend on superficial adult content. If there's money in artistically-valid AO games, why doesn't someone capitalize on that? In reality, aren't we talking about AO developers being unhappy that they can't capitalize on the success of a platform that is successful because it successfully targets 13 year olds?
All I get is a blank page in both Firefox and Chrome.
Any more insight on this?
Has anyone else found themselves on the extreme end of focusing too much on shipping quickly? One of the realizations I had this year was that in the process of wanting to ship quickly, I'd started doing mediocre work. More recently I have been encouraging myself to take whatever amount of time it takes for me to build something I am at least a bit proud of. Sure I don't want it to take any more time than necessary; but I also don't want to be shipping things consistently that I am far from proud of.
Sorry but if you aren't willing to review the substantive over the superficial, you shouldn't be a reviewer - it's disrespectful.
If one competes unethically, is that stealing? It deprives victim of revenue, and it's unethical, so?

If a place of business is vandalized...

If bodily harm is caused, depriving victim of wages...

If undue emotional distress is caused, depriving victim of wages...

Pretty much every single crime causes financial harm to someone, should we just throw away all words and use "stealing" for every offense? Theft of IP. Theft of competitive image. Theft of income-generating properties of equipment, theft of wage-making bodily properties, theft of wage-making mental facility. Theft of life?

I say let's keep the proper name for each kind of those things. Libel. Vandalism. Assault. Bullying. Murder. There, much clearer now.
This is interesting, but generally meaningless.

Studying successful people doesn't reveal secrets.

It's the problem of induction. There are probably tons of unsuccessful writers that have similar habits and write a ton of horrible writing.
Dead on. I used to this model to edit student and colleagues' work for years. Impt to note is that it's a huge time investment to give feedback for the 30% part. I want to know from the start what the person wants, so that I don't invest time and energy into a project when he or she really just wants a copy edit. This model is a win-win for both sides.
If the balance is negative enough to subtract from any real users balance it will be visible to at least that user.
Service oriented architecture, and avoiding or porting fat client libraries. Standard stuff.
This is got to be the best game I have ever played that is this simple.
It has to do whether the audience already has a solid theoretic / symbolic / formal background. Do they already think in terms of models? For graduate level physicists, this is almost surely the case.

Most git tutorials are for people who need to get up to speed quickly, having had git imposed on them from above, mapping surface area concepts from the prior version control system. Hard core engineers with an interest find their way to the theoretic center.
That makes total sense. I've read a few of Mitnick's "Art of" books and the l0pht story is really in line with that.

One technique that I found to be extremely useful, personally, is a "purposeful intellectual slowdown" with the express purpose of discovering just a couple personality traits that would lead to an exploitable route. As in, does this person like to laugh? Are they all business? It's a lot easier in person, but I've got tons of hours of phone practice through honest work that has honed the skill quite a bit. Once you find the "in" then it's easier to ramp-up the goal pursuit!
Potential solution: Out of religious freedom cellular carriers stop offering politicians mobile phone service. Say, it is against their morals/religion to promote the communication of bigots.
A law can have an intended effect that is different from its text.
I really like the nice big horizontal check marks for the "health" of each aspect of the certificates. Thank you for releasing this.
"It is quite sensible for said photographer to turn down requests for photographing non-weddings, and holds to a certain widespread classic & religious definition of what a wedding is."

And now you've discriminated and are subject to lawsuits. As has already happened in a number of cases.
Isn't the images idea similar to what is done with cigarette packs and that certainly doesn't stop the smokers.
Twitter is a platform, not a publisher, in theory
It was less immediate, but anyone who wanted to respond was similarly constrained, so there wasn't much difference in actual power. The coup against Peter III of Russia is an instructive historical example; Catherine couldn't instantly send her message everywhere, but neither could anyone else, so she just had to visit power centers one by one and convince them that she was in charge.
Let’s require at least 100 different words per comment in political threads, for example. There are ways the UX entices opposition and ways it can entice debate.
Is a lot of calm and thoughtful analysis shared on Facebook?
I made this for fun as a side project, because I love emacs and imgix (I work there). You're probably right that this could be done using Cairo, but I'd be shocked if you could do it as easily as you can with imgix.

Yes, you can use imgix directly via the web browser, but for building complex URLs this is way faster (especially if you're an experienced emacs user). Think encoding and moving between parameters of a super long URL.
Did he pitch his idea to someone who's mother just passed away?
Hi.

My name is Mahmoud Al-Qudsi, and I'm currently living in Jordan and I studied in Palestine. You've probably seen me here a lot :)

I run NeoSmart Technologies at http://neosmart.net/ which develops software used by tens of millions of people (for free). I also have a full time position as the Senior Software Architect at Genie-Soft (http://genie-soft.com), which is in the top 5 backup software companies around the globe, makes millions a year, and is headquartered in Jordan.

I've contributed to many open source projects, including WordPress and Ubuntu. I've collaborated with people from across the world of all faiths and cultural origins, without bias, and don't consider myself to be any "better" or smarter (or any worse, for that mater) than anyone else by virtue of my religion, language, or culture.

I never felt the need to shout out that I'm from Palestine because I figured no one cares where people are from, only what they can and have accomplished. Perhaps it is not incorrect to be overt about ones origins, in hopes of dispelling myths perpetrated by comments like yours. Please note, I'm not attacking, only lamenting...
I'm 6 months from 30, and I'm a much better programmer now than when I was 20. (Which was my junior year of college.) Not sure what your point is.
From the story it seems they are investing €2 million. It doesn't seem like a lot but hopefully it will be just the start
I gave you what you need to know to answer your question... I don't care what a religion says. They usually don't know what they're talking about. I didn't know any religion validated embryonic stem cell harvesting and I am saying that completely honestly.
I'd be far more inclined to jump on my bike and ride to my local shops instead of driving if I didn't have to wear a helmet. If I'm riding on the shoulder of a busy road then I wear a helmet by choice, but riding around my quiet neighbourhood is a far more pleasant experience without a helmet.

Riding around city streets in Europe without a helmet further demonstrated to me just how nanny-state Australia really is.
I think they meant the return of the middle class to city centres. That doesn't mean there's more middle class people in a metro area, just that they now live downtown rather than spread out in suburbs.

Basically, anywhere with gentrification. The unaffordability of housing in city centers is a sign it's now "in" to live there. Businesses follow.

I do agree with you about how out of touch people on here are about North American economic reality.
Going from 75 degrees to 50 produces something like a 1.5 psi reduction. 85 -> 35 wound be closer to a 2psi drop. Water vapor increases the drop. Funny thing is searching for the calculation produces highly variable results.
