Your mention of a backflip got me watching the video a second time, I couldn't picture how they could do that without a huge height difference between resting poles and then there's the horizontal distance to cross.
I think we both have an understanding that a person should not be left without essential services or be punished without some kind of due process.

If so, the government centric line of argument does not get you anywhere, because there are many essential services are not government owned or controlled monopolies..

My electric, water, internet and mobile suppliers are private Same goes for the bank. There are only a handful of companies in each category in the country, and they could wake up tomorrow and remove me from their network.

You can either have personal liberty, or oligopolies with contracts 'we can remove you at any time for any reason'. Not both.
How does this work with e.g. a text editor? It doesn't seem practical to have your UI be a pure function of an input which is 100+ MBs of text and formatting.
The examples you have in mind may be totally reasonable - but conflating "factually true" with being somehow unassailable on any other qualities, or being above reproach and not hateful, is a super common fallacy.

E.g. pointing to differences in cranial shape between races is often used, with various levels of implicitness/explicitness, as a way to express race-based hatred.
The domain bravedns.com made me initially think it was related to the Brave browser, so seeing "block ads" was a bit... strange. But looks like they are not related at all.
Why that domain name then? The blog is under the rethinkdns.com domain.
This was the "two-way data binding" model that Angular used and React famously knocked down. It's been part of UI toolkits for a long time. Remember Object.observe?
I am also puzzled by this, and if the number is hops is so large that it’s unfeasible to enumerate, how does the key generator know many hops it should be...
I once did some profiling on a heavy single page app and found that the overhead of AdBlock+'s extreme amount of CSS selectors was a major culprit.
What framework did you use to create this site?
+Make the landing page nicer. Add a better one-liner which tells people exactly what your app does.

+Make it more personal. Be super nice to your users. Do awesome things that don't scale.

+ Start a competition, make a game out of your existing user actions. A Christmas treasure hunt?

+Add user-created map layers building virtual worlds on top of the real world.

STOP thinking about Google. Just do your thing and be so good they can't ignore you.
"gr1d.org supports agents written using .NET on any available platform, in any available .NET language."

I've only use the c# variant of .net, but i'm under the impression that the framework itself is extremely language agnostic: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_CLI_languages
> If you don't want your car to be stolen then don't leave it in the street.

A car is a locked(presumably) metal box, it would be more apt to say: "If you don't want your cds stolen, don't leave them in the middle of the street"
Apparently Formstack haven't seen this gem entitled "Surprise, surprise! Having no secure icon on a page increased conversions by 400%" http://zachinglis.me/3cpN
I tried to replace the image, but not being a jquery wizard, I may've done something wrong. In the end, it said there was an issue with the image. Using the jquery selectors plugin, I ran (with the first SFW image I could find):

$(img).attr("src", "http://www.accesshollywood.com/content/images/82/300x300/821...)
I have a belief that if a professor assigned a 15 page paper on the first day of class on the first chapter in a textbook, you wouldn't see too much a difference than if you assigned it 6 weeks into the semester.
i'm not so sure, i mean i once spent half an hour trying to find Joomla after somebody told me about it. I was searching for similar words like doopla, dupla, doopler, joomler, jumla. At least if you could remember 'DuckDuckGo' you wouldn't have any trouble spelling it. Also when I think of TV adverts, it's often the catchphrase i remember over the company/brand itself
I often send URL to printfriendly, most of the time it's light, readable and ads-free. Works with Firefox keyword tags (added manually) and with Chrom* urlbar (added automatically after a few visits).
I use NoScript and RequestPolicy for full white listing functionality in Firefox.
Perhaps it doesn't matter that much how many people smoke right now, but how much lung damage they accrued during their lifetime.

The median age of the deceased is around 80 years.

According to a random source I found on the internets, in the 1950s and 1970s between 70% and 50% of the male population was smoking:

That isn't the issue; it's that this drug is not available at all outside of those two countries. Side effects are the reason it isn't. The WHO is prioritizing drugs with worldwide availability.
People ask me why I like driving with the windows down when I can, and I tell them it's so I can hear my blindspot.

I don't think it occurs to most people that auditory queues are just as useful when driving as visual ones.

It might not be laziness. It could be ADHD.

But, if it is laziness, try Pomodoro techniques. They work well. So simple but effective.
Personally, I'll only use Amazon as a last resort for something I can't find elsewhere (and don't feel I can do without, which is of course usually a valid option).
Because in the opposite hemisphere, water is turning to snow and ice.
> I think it's good that this technology exists (especially if my car were to be stolen), but I don't see how it would be harmful to the public interest to require police to get a warrant before looking me up.

The most justified uses for this seem to be those where your car is stolen, or suspected to be involved in a crime, or otherwise of interest for an ongoing investigation. Since there's no reason to store this data indefinitely for any of those uses, it seems like erasing non-matches within 24 hours or so would be a good way to address many of the privacy concerns. On the other hand, if the goal is now to collect as much data as possible about everyone just in case it turns out to be useful later, then things seem to be going according to plan.
> 419 scams are entirely different.

I don't think they're entirely different. 419 scams mass e-mail people and are tailored to pull in the kind of people that fall for 419 scams. Likewise, the target of this video here was likely selected by the magician as someone who could have been fooled (walking alone, older, distracted, wallet in front pocket), and also cherry-picked as a video example.
There's a tutorial bubble for these frameworks and languages. Too little to say, too much reexplanation of the basics. You end up reading for days and knowing less than what you would know if you started playing with the tools.
Love the question. This should be the new ELI5. I think a lot of articles on here would benefit from answering that question.
It's a legitimate concern; but the majority of carbon-producing activity is on the production side, and can be taxed from the producer, or even as a "carbon TCO" VAT on the consumption side. While tax dodges are a risk (particularly in the open, as big corps lobby for exceptions), this makes it much more universal than something like tax havens for capital gains by a small number of the uber-wealthy.

I would consider the world-wide implications to be a bigger concern: if the tax is too high, some producers might feel incentivized to move operations to a country without a carbon tax. Though I generally think tariffs are a bad idea, a carbon tariff that essentially covers the difference (and goes to the same dividend pool) might not be the worst idea.
Well, if putting down the wrong address on a contract is enough to invalidate the contract, then people would be "accidentally" fudging their addresses all the time. :)

Really, I am no legal expert but I did once sue someone in small claims court. They wanted to know what I did to verify the other party's address, not just taking their word for it.
For me the fact that Go programs don't have a runtime dependency like python or ruby makes a big difference.
There are a lot of cool projects written in python or ruby which I would love to try but knowing that I have to setup rbenv/rvm/virtualenv/etc just to try it is a big inconvenience for me (or you could just install it globally for the system/user but I generally avoid that).
I think you are thinking about serfdom - which ended at different times (15th Century or so for what is now the UK) and a recently as 1861 in places like Russia.
I lol'ed when it was still cool.
Me too, unfortunately it doesn't work on this article for me though.
Call the slaves a,b,c,d,& e
Each slave (5 - a,b,c,d,e) drinks from 16 barrels - 80.
Each unique pair (10 - ab,ac,ad,ae,bc,bd,be,cd,ce,de) drinks from 8 barrels - 80.
Each unique trio (10 - abc,abd,abe,acd,ace,ade,bcd,bce,bdc,cde) drinks from 4 barrels - 40.
Each unique quartet (5 - abcd,abce,abde,acde,bcde) drinks from 2 barrels - 10.
Everyone (5 - abcd) drinks from 1 barrel - 1.
Nobody drinks from remaining 9 barrels - 9.

If 1 slave dies we have 16 suspect barrels
Each remaining slave (4), pair (6), trio (4) and quartet (1) drink from 1 barrel - 15

If 2 slaves die we have 8 suspect barrels
Each remaining slave (3), pair (3), and trio (1) drink from 1 barrel - 7

If 3 slaves die we have 4 suspect barrels
Each remaining slave (2), pair (1) drink from 1 barrel - 3

If 4 slaves die we have 2 suspect barrels
The remaining slave drinks from 1 barrel

If 5 slaves die we have a positive ID on the barrel

If 0 slaves die we have 9 suspect barrels
Each remaining slave (5) and 3 pairs drink from 1 barrel - 8
Biggest regret was not keeping a pristine dataset for final testing / evaluation on device. I ended up flying blind when it came to setting the final threshold, testing the effects of quantization, or even just measuring the distortion introduced by cameraphones (compared to directly feeding images during training).

What I’m most proud of is the remote neural network injection [0] — which I’m surprised no one has commented on here. I just think it’s absolutely huge to be able to set large parts of your app’s behavior in TensorFlow code, and replace that on the fly in your user’s app as needed. But maybe I’m the only one excited about this :D

I don't live in the US, so I'm not sure what plans you can get it on, but (as you might see from my other comments) I love the Dell Streak. great android phone, its on 2.1 for now, but should be on 2.2 within weeks, and is powerful enough to meet the supposed ginger bread minimum specs.

really happy with everything the phone offers, screen is great, stock keyboard is good, and battery is fine.

I use it as my daily phone, to read and post on blogs, music player, ebook reader and satnav.

happy to answer any questions you might have it. but as a 5inch tablet come phone its great at both.
You've got it backwards: the students who studied honestly had much better retention after two weeks than the kids who wasted time trying to cheat or game the test. It was the teacher's intention to reward honest work by giving the hard-working kids a big advantage over the cheaters, and that's exactly what he accomplished. If only life was always so fair!
The whole "blog by sending email" idea doesn't fly with me.

I tried to give posterous a shot in the past, but was disappointed. I don't exactly remember why, but it didn't strike me as something I'd want to use.
That sounds probable, but I don't think that's the whole story. First, every major IM provider is available on BlackBerrys (AIM, MSN, GoogleTalk, ICQ, WhatsApp...). Most of these clients are even co-written by RIM themselve and use the same BlackBery-PUSH service as BBM. Just take a look here: http://appworld.blackberry.com/webstore/category/51?lang=en

Also they didn't just kick them out of the store, but revoked PUSH and signature keys, which is pretty a drastic move on their side. That makes me certain there is more to it.
I loved drinking tea, but I recently stopped when I found out that green and black tea have a large amount of Fluoride, highly toxic to the human body. I drink just hot water, or one tea bag split between a whole tea pot, or coffee.

Edited: Fluoride is NOT a heavy metal. and spelling
The Nexus One was made by HTC, basically a rebadge of their Desire handset. The Nexus S that Google have been showing off but not yer announced is basically the Samsung Galaxy S.

So either Google was never in that game, or they're still in it depending on definitions.

Just because you don't like it, or disagree with it, doesn't make it wrong. These are well-established IT security and legal issues.
Thanks for your enthusiastic feedback, fellow breton!

It's an interesting take you make about ML workloads. We haven't investigated that yet (next in line is e-mail: you see we target ubiquitous, low-tech needs that are horrendous to host). But we will definitely consider it for future works: small breton food trucks do need their ML solutions for better galettes.
Clay is unsafe. You should rebuild it again using food grade Resin.
Maybe I'm way off here, but it looks like you may think the person you're replying to is saying that Greenwald's article is "a kind of low effort data mining when there is news droughts" (etc)

I believe they are agreeing with Greenwald, and saying that the Times reporter is the one in the wrong.

Or this is just a vexing parse for me
Like many incumbent thing with network effect in the world, excel is both terrible and useful. But that is the beauty of software industry. You don't have to be perfect to win. You need to be faster, better and cheaper than current solution.
For the moment, the faster and better solution than Excel might not be cheaper. So we are stuck with Excel, until someday someone really comes up with a faster, better and cheaper solution.
Update after 2 years of 'crisis management':

The social fabric of the western societies had been severely damaged.

Trust in science is at an all time low. The absurdly rich are absurdly richer. Not few people are now flirting openly with the idea to simply abandon those bulky civil liberties of the 20th century (2nd half) in order to save the world in the long run.
So, in order to satisfy 2. ("green washing") and 3. ("emergency state") 1. (civil liberties) is the obvious pawn "sacrifice".
Most companies that went in early on the cloud implemented S3. By providing an S3 compatible API, a storage provider can make it extremely easy for companies to switch.

You don't even need to support the full API for this purpose as a very common use case is just uploading files for backups.

No one is arguing for S3 to become the one new standard, it is more like supporting the most common import/export file type in Photoshop/Blender.

If you have existing running processes in place and all you need to update is connection string and auth to save a ton of money then you are much more likely to do so.
>Tax codes are a tool of policy makers.

Therein the problem lies.

>They allow wealth and income distribution. They allow compensation. And they allow policy makers to promote or penalize specific behaviors or activities.

Robbing Peter to pay Paul is not a good reason to tax. Taxation should be decided by the whims of a crab bucket.

>Look at the legal system as a code base (in French, 'law' translates to 'code'). And imagine having 538 product owners, each asking for 'just one feature' that is both 'critical and urgent'. Is it any wonder that we are in this situation?

We're in this situation because most of congressmen believe they have the right to impose their morals on and the expense of thst individual men and women by way of legislative fiat.

>Perhaps we should implement more sunset provisions? I don't know. But 'we need a simpler system' is sort of like 'we have too many LoC'. It's true, but not easily actionable.

It is actionable. Politicians, however, are usually ignorant of tax law until there comes a point where the "wrong" people "win" too much. That is the issue in what should mostly be an administrative affair, if it should at all occur. The people who complicate the tax do not code lack the wherewithal to simplify it. Their feigned weakness and indifference is a choice.
The most important thing is where are the jobs. Where it lists is of minor concern, except for people desperate for "Brexit wins".
Meanwhile the VPN vendors start seeing the dollar signs again.
F# means Windows right?

In theory no, as F# runs perfectly fine on Linux. In practice all real world uses of F# in paying jobs I've seen has been Windows. The big advantage however is that there are probably at least an order of magnitude more F# jobs than Ocaml jobs.
And if that control becomes too tight, RISC-V takes it place.

Based on a hunch from the example of 1 country with an unusually low spread? Why would anyone assume that risk?
The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

This idea seems like it would only be useful when coupled w a screening app that asks questions, give your temp and O2 oximeter reading, then provide locations, but even then, each county of each state has a completely different protocol for scheduling.
Did your old xorn end up as part of their bones files, too?

I feel like I've seen this online at some point, where there were lots of ghosts because they were all getting killed by the same thing and then accumulating in new bones files.
Cross provider scaling is not easy, but necessary for companies of a different size. I expect Quora (and others) to make some changes after this.
Is that really all that "big data" positions need? In past experience (Google), there were all sorts of problems that working with actual huge data sets introduced that wasn't handled by the frameworks available (not even MapReduce, which by most accounts is significantly more advanced than Hadoop). Things like:

1. With a big data set, there is no easy way to verify the correctness of your algorithms. The data is too big to hand inspect, and so assuming your code is syntactically well-formed and doesn't crash, you will get an answer. Is your answer correct? Well, you don't actually know, and any number of logic errors might throw it off without causing a detectable programming error.

2. Big data is messy. There will be some records in your data set that are formatted differently than you expect, or contain data that means something semantically different than you expect. Best case, your Hadoop job crashes 4 hours in. Worst case, it silently succeeds, and you have no idea that your results were polluted by spurious results that you had no idea existed.

3. Big data will expose basically every code path and combination of code paths in your analysis program, so it all better be bulletproof. Learn how to write code correctly the first time, or you're going to be spending a lot of time waiting for the script to run and then fixing crashes several hours in.

4. Big data contains outliers. Oftentimes, the outliers will dominate your results, and so if you don't have a way of filtering them out or making your algorithm less sensitive to them, you will get garbage as your final answer.

There are techniques to deal with these, but they are techniques that are built into your workflow as a data scientist, and not the tools that are available. One thing that always amazed me at Google was how much time the data scientists on staff spent not writing code. Writing your MapReduces takes perhaps 5-10% of your day; most of the rest of it is mundane stuff like staring at data and compiling golden sets.
Oh yeah? Well he got to fly the Bitcoint jet, so there :-)

Not that I'm jealous, or anything...
Whilst Singapore comes up a lot as a company HQ - it's often not due to company taxes (which are _rarely_ as straightforward as you pay x%, no matter the domicile).

The big draw to Singapore is usually for the individuals - Singapore has no Capital Gains Tax (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_gains_tax#Singapore). At a personal level, if you're flipping a multi-million dollar business that's a big deal.

As other commenters have mentioned, the company/personal/VAT picture becomes more murky.
Good job on visualization! The graphs that show selfies on hover are great. How did you measure level of smile? Do you have an algorithm or you went through the photos manually?

You say that like 2-3% is not completely fucking outrageous.
>how modern work for a lot of jobs has become de facto indentured servitude...The average worker can't afford anything without taking on debt.

For people from other countries wondering about the veracity of these claims, let's take an example: The typical shitty job everyone on here complains about is working at an amazon warehouse. This is a job people with no skills take on. They pay 15 USD an hour. In other currencies that is 42k a year AUD or 2390 Euros a month. (the cost of living is roughly the same in these places).

I'll leave you to decide whether this is "slavery" and whether they "can't afford anything" or whether Americans are just so rich they are out of touch with reality.
Thanks for your comments, guys...I'll reply and thank individually in the morning. Cheers.

In C, I look in "point.h" first, then start looking for other things. Not really different.
Nope. You can use whatever packages you like. Those you've rolled yourself, standard python packages like psycopg2, redis-py etc., Flask community provided packages and anything in between.

I'm building a fairly large webapp in Flask and rarely, if at all, use any Flask packages other than the core itself.

I'm not familiar with the benefits of HostGator but how is this better than spinning up a free Heroku dyno to serve your node.js app?

That's also a very effective solution for low-traffic sites with a modest amount of host-side processing and more than enough for one sale a minute.

It's got great options for 3rd-party service integration too (e.g. free MongoDB hosting for < 512mb with MongoLab), and a very node.js friendly environment / deployment workflow.

Not trolling, genuinely curious what the benefit of this would be as an alternative.
Sounds good, but no Windows version.
The virus had been in place a relatively long time before it's public disclosure in June. Also the way the virus was designed it wasn't going to damage all of the rotors anyway.
