Great work, these cameras look very nice. Excellent having Linux and OS X drivers for them before they are released.

Definitely not as beautiful as the one you linked..
It doesn't mean you've paid off your debts, but it does mean you are paying off your debts.

There is no need to pay off your student loans completely if the interest rate on them is low and you can do better things with your income. Making your payments is responsible. Paying them off (partially or entirely) means that you have nothing better to do with your income.

Refinancing your student loans from 4% to 2% is a fantastic idea, however (which is what the UK is doing)
Yeah, the first step of the discussion is drawing some lines.

When I said the Catholics were the largest group, I was treating the protestants as separate groups. Mostly because if you are treating "fundamentalist" as an axis, the protestants don't really group together. They even tend to be somewhat polarized across that axis.
Yes, but not when storage, bandwidth, money, a desire to deliver only the best user experience (or nothing) and pushing WebP are concerns.

By the way, it's remarkable when running an image-heavy site how much bot/mass downloader traffic relative to humans vanish when turning away Firefox user agents.

Would you prefer System.out.println("Hello world!"); instead?

You can in fact do that, it is however optional.

Not sure what you mean here. "in" is only used in for loops.
Your post is very reminiscent of this[0], which was posted on HN a long time ago.

I find your fatalism disheartening. Aren't good things worth fighting for? Shouldn't people care?
Phoning a cab company via a dumbphone was only a few taps of a finger as well. It had been that way for years. The only problem was knowing the number.
Xcode cannot refactor C++ at all. Not in the slightest. It'll only do C and Obj-C.

It's a pity because it is quite an enjoyable IDE to use every single day for my C++ work (I'm on 6.1.1, doesn't crash unlike the 6.0 series), but missing a feature like that stinks.

Not that I've ever had need to use it so far, but still, it is a pity.
May I suggest "chkn".

Unmistakably of a poultry origin and with a bonus reference to the chicken and egg problem. Theorem proving and all.
Yeah but indefinitely precedent goes way beyond its intended purpose in achieving consistency. Especially when we have legislatures that rather not weigh on in issues whenever possible because they are worried about attack ads.

If I were to tweak it, I would make precedent expire, and even obligate the legislature to vote on a bill by the time it does that the courts ratify disambiguates the issue at and. Consistency and democracy.
Will lecoqsportif.com be next?

I remember childhood-me finding that name quite amusing.

Of course I'm much too grown up now to find it funny....
Yes my wording was imperfect there, loading is and issue and there are many solutions to the problem. Other than my unfortunate turn of phrase, I feel the point I was trying to make was valid.

Having biked in Philadelphia, only Center City has anything approaching usable bike lanes, and even there they come and go seemingly at random in places.
Here's the logo, for those interested. Honestly it's a bad logo in general, but when you combine the name of the language, the color of the logo, and general shape, it's downright terrible (not even in a harassment sense, in a literal "why should I care about this product" sense).

I have a really hard time believing that Java was the culprit and Node the savior rather than the organizational stuff you mention...
Although there is very little corruption in Norway, we certainly have some issues as a result of the oil and gas resources. There is a lot of concern that Norway's economy has "Dutch disease" - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_disease

Norway is also politically more socialist than the US. This is one area where I admire the US more, because the US has more opportunities for innovation, tech startups and in general a more agile and productive economy outside of the oil industry.

Starting with derivatives and integrals was exactly what I was thinking about. What surprises me is the pricing: I was thinking about something lower.

Thank you for the feedback.
I would suggest Python. It is easy to learn and can be used in many different projects including web apps.

You can then use your new skill and build web apps on Google App Engine. It's great because you won't have to worry about the non-so-fun bits, like configuring servers.
I can't. It's my sister's.

I want to get my own place in the next couple of months.
I respect this position, but it is notable that this project and its goals are different from all other blockchain projects. The private messaging is meant to be an intrinsic part of this blockchain for transactions and to provide a platform for applications that rely on the private messaging properties to provide services.

As an example, one of the next applications I am working on with it is voting (a continuation of my PhD research). You can do things with this that you can't do anywhere else because you've got hundreds of untrusted, uninterested nodes, changing the threat model in a very important way. Unfortunately, I'm not aware of any other way to incentivize that without some form of payment system, which is why it is intrinsic to this chain.

It is fundamental to safe and fair commerce to be able to not be tracked in the ways we care about folks not being tracked. I want to do things like read my news subscription without them being a data vampire that tracks how long my eyes hover over each paragraph of every story then sells that to some advertiser. I also don't want my credit card company selling my purchase history to some government that then uses that information to decide if I am allowed to enter their country 15 years from now.

In other words, the project is not trying to be a slower, less private version of a credit card. We do not want to be just another privacy coin or utility for some pre-existing internet service and, unlike other mixnet projects, our goal is a much more ambitious resistance to global adversary threat model. We want to enable folks to do things over the internet with similar properties and experience as buying milk from the corner store with real money. We might not get there, but that's my vision for what we are trying to achieve.

"wohuman" is also inherently sexist, and no - replacing it with "wohuhuman" won't help; it's the "human" part that's sexist.
nice website. I like the full text search for example to find python related articles :)
Apparently that was a touch too glib.

But where was the "bad for everyone" when Google rolled SPDY into Chrome and its own services, and showed not only tangible improvements to HTTP/1.1 but also an actual conviction in its efforts? It took a few years, but there was a good amount of industry momentum behind SPDY even before its ordainment as HTTP/2 became certain.

All Dart ever got was a Chromium fork; how was it ever meant to make inroads without Google putting any wood behind it?
I think the derision is not from pondering the actual question of consciousness (or strong AI) but the nebulous, fuzzy definition of consciousness by some in the philosophy camp. I think that better work is being done by those focusing on well-defined problems and holding off on the "hard" question until we are in a better position.

Also, this article is based heavily on Koch's pansychism which I find very unconvincing. There is talk about consciousness relating somehow to mental simulations and I believe this is where the answer lies (and an explanation that was not included in the article.)
It's more than just light elements, those elements are the main sequence elements made by Stellar nucleosynthesis.

Couldn't a large proportion of resume spam be filtered just by asking the applicant for something specific, and ignoring anyone who doesn't comply? IE. Add a specific phrase to the subject of the email. You could embed this in the middle of the job spec; people whom don't read it carefully are likely not worth interviewing anyway.
Therefore a two-time widow is even better. And a three-time widow. Wait, now I'm getting suspicious...
There's a fine line here.

The world will never be just. But that's not germane -- doesn't matter what the world is to you anyway. It's not like you have to power to change or complain about it. It's like complaining about the spectrum of certain stars because you can't get a good tan from them.

The key question is how do you act in the world. I think many people confuse acting as if the world is a just place with actually believing that the world is a just place. When young, you may start out thinking the world is a meritocracy. Then, perhaps in school, you finally figure out that life's a bitch and then you die. Perhaps some smartass with a website or a teacher or some other authority figure takes you aside and tells you that life is shit.

What comes next is very interesting. Some folks internalize the unfairness of the world and chew on it. They hold grievances, complain about those who succeed, and feel oppressed and victimized. Other folks act as if the world is a fair place because they have decided that acting in such a way is the kind of person they want to be. They are happy, optimistic, and always looking for the good in life.

Perhaps these people always view people in pain or suffering as in some way deserving it. Perhaps the other people always view people in pain and suffering as never deserving it. Perhaps both groups secretly think of life as a meritocracy. This would be an interesting hypothesis to test.

But in either case, the world sucking is no reason for you to change your attitude one way or the other. In fact, once you figure out that you own your emotional responses to events, you move past whether the world sucks or not, because it's really not that important.

And then you find articles like this pointless or worse.
Wow, great catch. Additionally, the software business which was spun off became Flexera (InstallShield), who are one of the nastiest groups of folks I've ever tried to do business with.
I was rather annoyed by the assertion of irrationality in this post's second example (engineer or lawyer):

http://youarenotsosmart.com/2010/05/28/representative-heuris...

Doesn't Bayes have a say in the matter? What if I believed that few engineers hung around country clubs but many lawyers chose such a lifestyle? It would more likely that the person described was a lawyer. What if the facts presented included "passed the bar exam on the first try"? Wouldn't we suspect this person to be an attorney?
Maybe, but it was an interesting read nonetheless.

You got people with many decades of experience who can, as independent consultants charge an impressive price for there time. Then you get people who were maybe bait and switched or took what they could find working as a low paid contractor or developer for a company that doesn’t pay the best.
>they can't possibly validate each one //

Why not?

They don't pass on all metadata, that's part of the problem. If a call originates in $foreign_country, the sender gets to spoof it as a local call (sometimes they even use your own phone number). Are you really telling me there's no way to tell the difference between an off-shore call and a local one. It seems if this were true that billing is impossible, yet somehow the origin gets billed (though admittedly that might only be the immediate upstream, but usually this will be enough to disambiguate a scam call).

Phone companies make money from scammers. It doesn't seem to be a technical bar, rather a financial disinclination that stops phone companies from robust action.
Someone asked me what the AI takeover will look like, and I said, one night you will go to sleep and we will control the computers and then you will wake up and the computers will be in charge, and you will not be able to tell.
Stunningly negligent decision by Facebook. More evidence that FB is confident they can get away with most anything without significant consequential blowback on their bottom line at the end of the day.
That assumes that the virus can't mutate a different way to get into the cell. Which is false assumption because there exists no single way to exist a cell.

If this was true a single drug would be effective against all viruses. What is preventing DNA of multiple viruses to mix together and exchange some parts?

You could argue that this is rather rare occurrence, but that is exactly the point. It happens sometimes and the more chances we give to the virus the more likely this happens in reality.
Economix, a comic book explanation of basic economics, is the only book on economics I have ever read.

If the link leads you to an ‘area search’, that means the user removed their listing from Airbnb, likely after having booked their place for the Super Bowl. Often, these are people who _only_ listed their place for the Super Bowl, a trend we expect will continue around other big events.

We analyze the market throughout the day, and on each pass, remove these listings from our results page. In the mean time, those ‘area searches’ illustrate the speed at which vacation rentals are booking for the Super Bowl!

>> If you think GA is a privacy concern, you should consider services like gmail to be a privacy concern too. Perhaps they should block that too.

I'm not sure what one has to do with another. GA is something developers (or marketers) decide to pull into their sites, exposing their users to having their activity tracked across all sites that use GA. gmail is a product that someone elects to use. Apples and oranges.

>> Paying for it"? GA doesn't do much that a webmaster couldn't otherwise learn by analysing their webserver log files.

That's the unfortunate truth; and there are also many free packages that will do similar things -- all of which can be done without tracking people across most of the sites they visit.

Still, none of them are as quick and convenient as dropping in a line of javascript. I just wish that more developers would give thought to whose data they're giving away when they drop in that line of javascript.

I've only given one talk but it was similar to this for me, although with a much smaller audience. I had a 30 minute slot and breezed through my slides in maybe 5 minutes with a lot of "um" and fidgeting. In my nervousness, I said the phrase "super easy" ~20 times in that 5 minute timespan.

Luckily, people were genuinely interested in my topic and asked a lot of questions. I calmed down a lot when I had some crowd interaction and was able to make fun of myself with the "super easy" thing.

If you ask me, I bombed. But when it was all over with I felt like I couldn't wait to do it again.
Well, in market economics, 'perfect competition' is usually considered a good thing. It allows for maximum innovation and and the maximum alleviation of 'scarcity.'

I think the problem is that so long as this new wave of entrepreneurship is limited to web-startups, we're going to see diminishing returns. There are only so many ideas that can reshape the way we do communicate and do business while remaining within the confines of a webapp. Future startups will presumably have to chase smaller and more niche problems in order to remain relevant.
"The whole online identity situation may seem as impossible as peace in the Middle East at this point."

I hardly expect such comments from guys like Jeff.
One that works well for me: give the talk (ahead of time) in front of a bunch of people you respect. When you totally screw that one up and look like an idiot, you'll be so afraid of a repeat performance on game day that you'll be able to find and fix most of your problems.

I think the Bolt is one of the better car choices we've made in a while. But we didn't buy it, we leased one last year. $6K for 3 years at 18K miles/year, residual is in the mid-20s, which is what I could have bought one for brand new with all the discounts they had running. For the first 5K miles it's been really great, better than I expected, really. If it's still this good in a few years, maybe I'll buy it when the lease ends. But only if I can pay something close to the auction value and not the stated residual value :)
The term "surveillance" is always used in headlines of articles about this phenomenon, but "sabotage" would be more descriptive of the full scope and purpose of the intelligence agencies' activities.

As an Android Dev: noone of us wants to do java projects anymore. If we had support for some recent versions maybe, but as it is, there's no going back.

0 of our recent or current projects still use java.

Google is either moving/extending libs to natively integrate with kotlin (numerous -ktx libs) or they are kotlin-only (Compose) anyway.

I don't really see the Jetbrains lock-in thing, because: Android Studio is free, you can use any other IDE with syntax highlighting and the terminal to run tests & to compile.

If you want to blame someone for locking in android devs into Android Studio, it would be Google, because they build the previews into Android Studio afaik. But you would have the same criticism at Apple/XCode. Supporting one IDE is already tough I guess.
OK I see we are going crazy, me too. Thanks @jart.

I have been thinking about portable web apps with embedded SQLite for some time. I do not have the technical chops at C level to pull this off. I am really inspired by this project. I hope Redbean leads a way to distribute self-hosted apps in today's era of the cloud.
"But with each pass, there was a transaction fee."

That's always the mistake with leakages. Somebody earned that fee, and they spent it back into the economy. Transaction fees are somebody's wages.

Similarly if there are imports paid for in the 'money' of the area, and they don't use that type of money anywhere else then the only place those sending the imports can use that 'money' is on the exports of the area.

Both of these are classic mistakes of analysis.

- interest and fees disappear somewhere rather than being the wages of bankers and financial people.

- there is only one type of money and it is used everywhere, the Elite Dangerous 'credit', when in reality we have floating exchange rate currencies.

If you are finding that your exports from an area don't pay for your imports, then you are in too big a currency union and need to break away with your own money. Whoever else you are in a fixed exchange rate union with is refusing to do a transfer back to your area. And that is an act of mercantilism.
