For the destroyed building yes.

But they built a newer taller building right next to it - that's the one in linked article.
I wrote a bunch of ebooks and created a bunch of videos. I sold them from my blog and via Twitter; in fact, although I started in 2010 and have made at least 10 products, to this day, I only have web sites for one ebook and one video series. (Count each video in that series as a separate product and I've probably made at least 20 products.)

TBH, the worst part about this is that it's so easy, I got pretty lazy about it. This is why I haven't answered the "what did you make?" question - I got so lazy about it in 2014 that the side projects brought in about half what they made in 2015. Kinda painful in retrospect.

Likewise, if I had web sites for this stuff, if I built email marketing systems, I'm sure they'd make more money. I even have a Kindle version of one of my books, and I still haven't gotten around to sharing it with my customers. Kind of embarassing, actually.

But even then, I'm well over the $1K/month mark. No worries there. All you really need to do is create stuff that people find worthwhile.
and you should be using it:

> objectively worth

Is there such a thing? At the end of the day a company is worth whatever someone is willing to pay for, which is always subjective.
I tried this when I setup nginx for my company's website. Virtually nothing can connect. Getting 95% on protocol is good enough.

I remember those same times (early-to-mid 90's), worked at a few ISPs, even helped start one, and while it's good nostalgia, I'd never want to go back.

Those Sun Servers? They took 4 or 5 minutes to boot up and were dog slow.

T1 connections? Amazing for the time, laughable by today's standards, when the typical broadband connection is 20x faster.

Web development back then? Writing nasty CGI scripts - in Perl if you were lucky - or C if you weren't.

No thanks.
Hey thanks - I owe you one.
Hmm, O2 UK doesn't actually offer any unlimited data packages as far as I'm aware: https://www.o2.co.uk/shop/simplicity

This might still be real, but if it is then it's either based on an old tariff or another country's O2.
This is called "learning experience". How children are supposed to not think of computers as magic boxes if they're prohibited from doing anything interesting on it (and that very much includes breaking them and fixing by themselves)? Restoring the machines back to original state should be a trivial task for whoever is responsible for the computer room.
Public transport is tracked too. TFL have removed the ability to use cash on busses now, you must use oyster cards.[1]

This is great and I bet there are a ton of directions the author can go from here, pausing bubble movement on hover, clicking on bubbles to see the tweets, etc. JSYK, I reloaded and a fast moving but small bubble became a much slower moving much bigger bubble.

How awful. Please don't do this here.
I'm wondering if the USB protocol tax now allows you to run Scheme. I mean if you didn't need USB you could use something like the PIC16F54 (512 ROM, 25 bytes of RAM) for $0.39 each... but you will almost certainly write the code in assembly language. I tried to find the cheapest microcontroller with USB support: I found C8051T622-GM ($0.982), with its luxurious 16KB of ROM and 1.25K of RAM. Curious if Microscheme will run on this- nope, it only supports Atmega..

Atmega32u4 is like $3.43.. too much when you consider that you can buy a keyboard for $4.00.
this seems to be a trend: http://www.ubuntu.com/products/casestudies/french-national-p...

Good stuff. ^_^
Considering that they never opened it to federation, does it even matter?
Today's "good enough" is tomorrow's technical debt. But that works perfectly, if you know the exact lifetime of your codebase.

But what does it mean to fully understand your own code? Everyone relies on millions of lines of code that they didn't write themselves.
No, trading is not redeeming. The fact that you will buy it from me or swap me USDC does not prove that they have any reserves.

So again I ask - how do we have any proof that Tether has the reserves they claim they do?
If all else fails, you just outsource spying on your own citizens to a friendly ally (the Five Eyes).
> I still don't quite understand how they can manipulate the price.

They largely can't (especially that a good fraction of Bitcoin is now held by institutional investors). But it makes up for a good story.
Please stop bringing up this "never roll your own crypto" argument. It's a guideline, not a hard rule. Signal actually rolled their own crypto and aren't constantly criticized for that, on the contrary. Signal is praised for rolling it's own crypto.

Don't get me wrong, the Telegram crypto can (and should) definitely be criticized. But please criticize that they use "bad crypto" or "strange crypto" or "unreviewed crypto", not that it's their own. (And of course, substantiate such claims with references that can be discussed.)
What did you think about the parts where they discuss economics and demographics?
Two questions:

Is climate mitigated economic activity as financially efficient as non-mitigated activity?

Is the goal of the fund to maximize return on capital invested, or do their investors tolerate financial risk for the chance to change the world?
In the end this could work out well. People go where the stuff that they want is. I occasionally dust off an old twitter account when I want to reach an org which is otherwise hiding any means of human contact. So if scihub does manage to make a meaningful presence somewhere like mastodon that's all for the good - and just hastens the decline of twitter.
As did Signal (called Axolotl back then)?

All protocols are invented at some point. Telegram did a terrible job marketing this one but it has been a long time now and the only issue I ever heard of was fixed some years ago. It's still not exactly pretty, but then look at TLS and I'm actually quite okay with mtproto.

The real issue is that mtproto is never used. It isn't implemented in most clients for no apparent reason ("can't keep state for encryption keys!" is the usual excuse - dude you keep my login token what's the big deal here) and if you try to use it, it doesn't sync between devices. One of the core selling points is a solid desktop experience.
Yeah, among the busiest "international" routes are:

* France - France (Overseas region and department),

* Russia - Russia (annexed region),

* USA - USA (commonwealth),

* China (People's Republic of) - China (Republic of)

Goes to show that the notion of "nation" has fuzzy borders.
Companies aren’t motivated to replicate it, rather.

I would agree though that if a lesson is repeatedly refused, the pedagogy must change.
I think the over-the-top interactive sites died off partially because of that but also because it really is a terrible experience in mobile. And mobile web became so important.
I somehow got myself in producing open source video games for freelancing cash.

I first got my starts by trying to blog about video games. Then I started a wiki which I bootstrapped off my own saving. Now it produce maybe 20-30 bucks each year. Not a whole lot, but I bootstrap my way with that money in addition to programming work that I started working.

I am hoping to go back in automating the maintenance of my wiki and create new sites in that niche to generate a bigger income, which then will be used to bootstrap other sites.

The way I figure it is that for each domain, I only need to make about 15 bucks to be profitable. Basically, they serve as buffer money used to fund new mini-ventures.
This got downvoted, but I think it's pretty insightful. If you're wiling to live in abject poverty, just work any six-figure job and you will be a millionaire in under a decade. If you want it in three years, make sure the job pays more than $300k.
Where can I find the research and the liberties he used?

I really liked the RSA drawed-up version of the talk, and I thought it was based on real hard science..
Absolutely no concern. I've just had a colleague come back from a three week holiday there (both in Bangkok and traveling around) and he said that there was no sign of any disturbance or nothing abnormal. He does this holiday every year so he has some perspective on this.

His only complaint is that his favorite shopping mall was torched during the riots, but other than that now is a perfect time to go as any.
How about working on a startup in your free time? Even if it fails, you will gain experience and have something interesting to add to your C.V.
I'm kind of dumb....What type of calamity could possibly occur that would justify such an action?

Also, its frightening to see that people welcome the great firewall of america.
Why Abu Dhabi? If you're really going for an "international" school, why wouldn't you pick somewhere a bit more stable? If neutrality is key, then I'd choose someplace like Geneva.
Not in one particular instance: if we saw Earth. Current ideas about the shape of the universe don't make this an entirely impossible proposition (just an extremely unlikely one that we'd stumble across our own image from billions of years ago, and I, personally, don't buy it at all).

This idea is covered in an episode of Astronomy Cast. I forget which, but most likely http://www.astronomycast.com/astronomy/ep-78-what-is-the-sha...
I should be mentioned that the popularity of these pathological financial assets is not solely due to social manipulation, the loss of faith in markets and institutions came first, then came the manipulation. The result is further wealth transfer, inequality, addiction, chaos, poverty.

In the Middle Ages it was the Catholic church, today it's venture capital firms like a16z. There are plenty of greater fools, and new ones are created every day. A few people gets filthy rich while nothing of value is produced.

I do not see how this affects the analysis: to use either change or add/remove you have to first be able to authenticate somehow, and if your e-mail address has already been deleted (either by you, or by the group that temporarily granted it you) then you will be unable to do this.
Sorry, you're right about using PUT to create a resource at the supplied URL -- but you're still breaking the expectation of idempotence: repeating the same request should have the same result, not 201 the first time and 405 thereafter. If you really want those semantics use POST.

If you're really set on using PUT, you could change your semantics a bit so that PUTting the original file again results in 200 OK but attempts replace it with a different file return 409 Conflict or something.
EPIC FAOL
Popular opinion played the biggest role. [edit: spelling]

One of the things that has struck me as ironic for people who like to call themselves "engineers" is how resistant to documentation some software developers are. I understand and have experienced all the problems with documentation taking time and how easily it can get out of date, but when I look at what other engineers do when they need to modify a building or structure, they immediately go to the blueprints that tell them how the building is put together, where the structural support is, where the wiring and plumbing is, etc.

I guess those can just as easily suffer getting out of date, not updated with small changes, etc. but at least they provide a picture of how the thing was built in the first place, a picture that is still helpful for understanding.
The tool he uses to make his point (technobabble sucks) is fine, but his point is wrong. Science Fiction explicitly throws us into moral and ethnical quandries we would not face without the fictional science making unusual situations possible. How, well ... when I was a physics undergrad, we all watched each new episode of Trek and separated into two teams, one rejecting the technobabble and one trying to justify it, with the latter being the harder task. The fictional science in science fiction will almost always comes up short later, and isn't relevant.

Are there interpersonal relationships? Sure. You could put those on any sailing vessel. However, Trek still presents us with "Okay, but what if ..." situations that people can mull over.

The fusion of Tuvok and Neelix into a singular entity, Tuvix, who was his own person and wanted to exist on his own rather than being split up again ... that won't happen on your Wagon Train to the Stars. Similarly, in some pirate television show, we are not going to find discussions of whether or not a thinking machine in a humanoid form can be considered mere property of the Fleet. What if that android wanted to reproduce? We explore alternate chains of ethnical decisions as well: while most people would kill out of rage and vengeance over a person being slowly and agonizingly disintegrated by a war-crimes-level Varon-T disruptor, we see a being devoid of emotion come to a similar conclusion as to what must be done, but in a way that is just not human.

And so his italicized point -- that it doesn't tell us anything interesting about the human condition under science fictional circumstances -- is completely wrong. Some people still are salty about Tuvix, some people do ask, "What does the Federation do with someone like Bashir?"
Always show the number if it's more than 0. It's more informative and might catch your attention better than "something bad might happen"
I realized I adhered to scientism when I caught myself judging my family and friends for believing in Traditional Chinese Medicine and in general stuff like horoscopes, Tarot, Reiki and Qigong.

I now see my worldview as just that. Just because I tend to dismiss that which cannot be measured or seen as irrelevant or not real, doesn't mean everyone else should. Just how I was conditioned.
I believe collectibles are one of the two forms of investments, and capable of being good investments.

A normal, warren buffet-style investment is a good investment if you are better at predicting future cash flows than the average investor.

A collectible is a good investment if you are better at predicting future demand than the average collector.

I consider a collectible anything that there is a limited supply of… ostensibly more (or not enough more) cannot be created to fulfill future increase of demand.

Real estate, professional sports teams, gold, beanie babies, art, old video games, and bitcoin all fall into the category.

If you can predict future demand for something of a fixed supply, you can do well.
I think some times I feel it more than others.

Certainly if it's beating fast I notice much more than resting.

I think at rest I tend to notice it indirectly, particularly how it makes my body move or noticing it alongside a deep breath.
I recently rewatched TNG and ds9, TNG was better than I remembered it, ds9 was worse than I remembered it.
Thanks for sharing... I'm kind of surprised they are using MariaDB over something like Cassandra.
That's basically matched to inflation - would be more surprised if unchanged
I'm not sure, I live in Canada. I know years and years ago the grocery store I used to work at did this. We were told when I worked there that's specifically what they did.
p5 is such a great library
targeting ads is only one teeny tiny use case for user data. Building general AI is a race and the more user data you have the faster your AI will learn. You definitely want to limit the amount of data your competitors have.
Or, find new models that don't require a government to be involved in building things at all. The existing solutions (e.g. privately developed toll roads instead of public highways) have their own issues, but this is one potential solution space to explore.

If you have carpal tunnel issues, I can highly recommend the RollerMouse RED. It’s not a trackball, but a unique rolling bar controller that I’ve been using for several years now with none of the RSS issues I used to have. Not the cheapest option for sure, but the least physically stressful input device I’ve ever used.
They could upgrade the systems all day long, but the fact remains that the F-16 is a pre-stealth airframe and it is simply the wrong shape. What the Air Force wants in a low end fighter is F-16 level systems in a new stealthy airframe.
> involving FTP transfers of specially formatted files.

during my internship, a big healthcare representative came at the company to ask for help about their IT system. Turns out it was mass FTP transfer. I was silent for a few minutes thinking hospital networks relied on this.
In my experience, "sleep training" is just a more palatable euphemism for "cry it out". My view is that however you slice it, you are conditioning the baby that no one will respond to its distress.

I'm glad you feel it worked out well for you. I honestly hope it doesn't cause problems, because it's very widespread. Based on our reading of the available evidence, we weren't willing to take the risk. Our lives certainly would be easier if we reached the opposite conclusion.
Not that I know of, nope. My experience is that the royal mail vans are parked, and they do the rounds on-foot/bike
Accenture isn't exactly killing it. They're suffering from the same problem IBM is: the global economy sorta sucks.

Accenture has averaged 3.x% sales 'growth' in the last two fiscal years. Account for inflation, and they're lucky if they're not contracting as a business.
Let's hope they still have a strong enough core of smart people to bounce back. IBM is old and have seen this industry nascent and changing many times, they're still massive, thus having the resources to adapt (IMHO). Microsoft managed to bounce too. Kodak didn't.

I'm still very curious about the partitioning of these claimed layoffs.

ps: 4 times 'still' in one comment.
I just want to raise my concern about the security issues the current implementation provides. At a glance the update method provides a simple way to execute arbitrary SQL.

You're talking about society at the micro-level though, not the national level. Some of them were immigrants from outside but a large proportion were moving from other communities in the nation and their ability to do that while retaining their previous prosperity was insured by the society they were investing in through their tax code.

I actually think insurance can be quite a good model of the tax system. I'm insuring my assets against a total societal breakdown and confistcation, a la the Bolshevik revolution. I pay more than some because I have a higher asset base to lose but less than others who have more than I.
The problem with the NDK is not calling the NDK, it's more a problem with exporting native symbols in the binary's symbol table the JNI can call.

Even if you build a binding using cgo with a home-made C library which calls the Android APIs by JNI, will be a time in the code where the Java code or you library must say "hi, run your code, bitch!" to your go code, and I don't think that cgo enable that.
That's not really the full story though. The parameterized type isn't just `map[K]V`, it's more than that. The type `K` needs to be hashable, and not all types support that. e.g., slices do not: http://play.golang.org/p/IKp_I25NW2 It gets more complicated then that too, because composite types can be used for keys, but only if the type does not contain any non-hashable type.

Similarly, if you're going to build a binary tree data structure, then you probably need a way to compare elements. How do you express that constraint?

Standard ML has a similar limitation, which resulted in the presence of an `eqtype`, which is basically a way of saying, "any type T that can be compared for equality." But of course, ML has its modules...

So I'd argue that type parameterization alone doesn't really buy you much. You might say: well, we need bounded polymorphism then. OK. How do you define bounds? Maybe you figure out a way to abuse interfaces (but a bound isn't a type while an interface is a type), or you add a new way of specifying interfaces to the language.

The road to generics is long, complex and fraught with trade offs. Blessing a few key parametric types is a really interesting compromise, and I believe it's one that was absent in a similar practical manner in pre-generics Java and C++.
You "called it" 6 years ago :/
The existence of a mechanism for processing fear may be rational, but this doesn't mean fear is rational.

Similarly, if you are trying to destroy a small target and you know it lies in a 10 km^2 area, it may be optimal to employ a carpet-bombing strategy over the whole area. This doesn't mean that any of the individual bombs are optimized: most of them will fall nowhere near the target, and they are 'irrational' in support of a broader rationalization strategy.

This has to do with the fact that you only have enough information to narrow the target to such a wide area. With more information, you can optimize the individual bombs and maybe switch strategies away from carpet bombing.

Our fear processing machinery is a carpet bombing strategy that drops specific fears in our way that we have to deal with. Overall it is better than nothing, but since we are trying to _improve_ our strategy, we are forced to conclude that it is not an ideal methodology. We have to collect more information, and we have to ensure that this new information is accounted for in the decision-making process. This means fighting your reflexes. You cannot do better than nature by idolizing it.
