No, that's a complete misunderstanding of the law on this.

If you antagonize and film a police officer while they are off-duty, that is inappropriate; potentially stalking and harassment. Same in the other direction. The courts have thus far determined there are specific rights to filming police while engaged in their duties; not just for press, but for citizens in general.

This is really an underrated museum.

Beside the fact that parking is a nightmare {you can easyli park a nice 20 min walk away, though}, it is verywell prepared for visitors.

For one there is an interactive place where you can park children {under surveillance} and let them play while you walk arund.

The audio guide is great and you can listen and walk at your own pace, letting some crowds go by.

Finally, this is a museum for just one thing, it is not that you wonder what you are missng by going too slow.

I like the Middele Ages and this was a wonderful experience.

If you spend vacation in Normandy this is an easy drive and a well spent day, the city is nice too with good restaurants
I can't confirm today because it's very overcast, but as of a few days ago the sun had still not gone away.
It's not that no one buys certain products, it's that the stores know who buys what and sends targeted advertising and coupons based on that. If they know you buy dog food, they can send you a coupon for a certain brand that isn't selling well and they're overstocked on. You're manipulated into buying things you otherwise wouldn't have just like advertising on the web.
I've always wondered if the reason a daily aspirin prevents heart attacks isn't because it prevents clotting, but because it's an anti-inflammatory.
That's a bit of an odd opinion. Microsoft is a company and companies have one goal: generate revenue for shareh olders. I suspect IE generates significant revenue for Microsoft, if for no other reason than the default search being Bing. I wouldn't hold my breath that they're going to discontinue a product that still has 50% plus marketshare.
Yes, unlikely()/likely() is a much better way to give the compiler hints about block linearization.

Thanks for sharing a really useful debugging tool. It's kind of funny how much flack you are getting for posting this, when I read the subject line, I knew it was intended only for development use.
You’re not the only one. But there are a lot of people whose life situation might dictate that choosing a safe FAANG job beats the risk of working for a startup or striking out on their own.
Or maybe they just want to work on interesting things, have a good work life balance, and get paid really well.

Your golden handcuffs might be someone else’s golden parachute.
Auto-GCAS is over 20 years old now. Here's a more technical description.[1]

This is all coming this month/next, but at the time of posting this it is not live.
Where did you get that? The specs table says:

Sequential Data Transfer Rate (host to/from drive) 281 MB/s
What's bad about Typekit?
I tend to agree with you about the typeface they use, Spectral. I think it's a combination of factors: loose tracking designed to permit slightly over-emphasized differences in weight (which were a design goal for the font) and somewhat selective replacement of inktraps from the inspiration face (Elzévir) with angular serifs, which creates a bit of a visual discordance. I don't find it unreadable, personally, but it does call attention to itself.
This latest Atari has no corporate lineage to that Atari. Just like when the OG Atari picked the name, because it sounded cool and had something to do with games, so did this one --- but this one had to pay into the estate of the previous name holder to do it.
Idol time is still commercial use. Consider if Starbucks suddenly decided to pay barista's on a minute by minute basis based on if they were actively making coffee. Clearly, that’s not going to let Starbucks get around minimum wage laws.

From a risk standpoint which is what insurance cares about Idling Uber drivers are going to spend way more time on the road than average so their much higher risk.
This is essentially taking energy from the sun by:
- growing a plant in a pool of water
- harvesting the plant, treating it with solvents, then extracting the fuel in a crude format
- refining the oil

Although solar technologies are still inefficient, it seems like a much more direct path from solar -> electricity -> electric car.
Can someone explain how to downvote something? I only see an up arrow next to posts.
AI is also not always about building a human out of silicon, but about building something that is in some specific ways better (albeit much worse in other ways). For example, we ideally want to understand what it's doing and why, something we so far understand fairly imperfectly for humans. We also want to be able to control it fairly directly and reliably--- a society of AIs that you have to herd like cats and coax into doing what you want isn't quite what most engineers looking to plug in intelligent modules into their systems are looking for. We also want it to be very reliable and fast at tasks that humans do poorly or get bored doing, like scanning huge quantities of data to find patterns.

At least, that's how it looks from an engineering side. If the end result is that all you get is a human, well, we already have humans; just hire them instead. From a philosophical and technical side creating artificial humans does still remain quite fascinating.
Is it Manhattan? Because if not you're cost of living is probably significantly less too.
I have completely fallen in love with AppEngine since the beginning of this year. It is a brilliant dev platform for prototyping and the BigTable DB is a pleasure to work with.

My prototyping platform is essentially: tornado.web with the tornado request, response, escape, auth and locale. OpenID from web.py. My own WSGIApplication that inherits from the built-in so that it uses my Controller class (which has a plugin arch), Django for templates, JSON, BeautifulSoup, Markdown, a generic 'asset' module implementing something akin to ActiveRecord on the standard DB with memcache support, a generic HTML5 getting started template, a CSS toolkit (can't recall the name) then jQuery and backbone.js with some of my own JS glue code that maps the server models to client models.

Using this stack, I can prototype form-driven web apps in hours.

I wrote a relevance view for Twitter (with Twitter oauth support) in half a day. I don't think I will use the RDBMS even when they release it - BigTable is excellent (it will be confusing if you schema the same way you schema with an RDBMS).

It is great to be able to have an idea for a quick app, register an AppEngine app, fire the code up, commit and deploy and have the app live for others to try out within hours.

The admin interface allows you to spot errors and choke points in production and fix them quickly. The pricing is better than AWS or any of the others and the platform includes hidden gems such as the MapReduce lib, multitenancy, xmpp and Google data libs (including auth)

The only real limitations that I have bumped into are:

* The max request time is around 20 seconds, so you can't have open Ajax requests

* No HTTPS support as yet (coming soon, apparently)

* Limits on the number and size of files. It isn't ideal for serving a large number of static files, but it does have zipimport support for libs

* For best performance, you need to define the indexes yourself rather than relying on the defaults that the lib generates

* There are a lot of sys calls blocked, so you can't run Tornado or any cpython modules
I tried it three times and twice loaded images that are a part of any Wikipedia page, like the W with the globe in the corner.
Same goes for Sheldon Whitehouse. That was a real disappointment.
"Y Combinator--a computer term for a program that runs other programs"

Heh... completely wrong, but I suppose it's the best you can expect a non-techie/math nerd readership to get. Heck, it's probably close to the most you can expect the average programmer to get.

EDIT: And another one...

"Graham met Morris, an authority on the Unix computer language"
I think we have a slight misunderstanding. I'm not saying that the Supreme Court doesn't make decisions that are not popular. I'm simply responding to the original claim that the Supreme Court exists so the majority doesn't have absolute power, as you originally stated. This we now apparently agree on.

Now, as for the rest of your post - I completely agree.
I was unfamiliar with this term. That was a very interesting article.
This is also an example of the "extraversion bias" in company culture. http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2012/apr/01/susan-cain...
What about usable but inconvenient? Most of the world is like that, Africa, China, India, for large transactions gold or the USD is inconvenient and dangerous. Venezuela, Argentina, are other examples closer to the US.
A newsletter about SAAS called CloudedJudgement sent this in January:

> SaaS businesses are valued on a multiple of their revenue - in most cases the projected revenue for the next 12 months. Multiples shown below are calculated by taking the Enterprise Value (market cap + debt - cash) / NTM revenue. In the buckets below I consider high growth >30% projected NTM growth, mid growth 15%-30% and low growth <15%

So if DO is mid growth, you could use 17x as the EV / NTM multiple. So if 2021 revenue will be 320mm + 25% = 397mm NTM * 17x = 6749mm EV.

Total debt is 263mm so best (rough) guess at equity market cap is 6749mm - 263mm debt + 100mm cash
Amazon RDS waits until the "dot-one" release of a new PostgreSQL major version before releasing to general availability. This ensures that all supported extensions and modules (71 in Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL 13) have been updated to work with the new release and with in-place major version upgrades. Amazon RDS releases beta and "dot-zero" versions of PostgreSQL in the Preview Environment, so that customers can start testing and developing against new features in the latest major version.
> All the "saved space" in Apple laptops become amazingly wasted space in your bag with tons of adapters and wires.

Maybe that's the case for you, but that's far from universal. I have zero need for any adapters. At work, I can use usb-c to connect to my monitor, and if I need to present in a meeting room, I do it wirelessly.

At home, I can use airplay to share my screen to my TV.
Then I don’t understand the outrage. What’s offensive about instructions on how to fill out a ballot above and beyond the fact of them asking you to vote no?

The GGP seemed to think that there was something particularly bad about the detailed six page instructions. But the GP correctly pointed out they do the same thing in regular government elections (to milk as many voters as they can).
They can choose not to, but since the Framework Laptop itself is sold through our Marketplace, it's a good way to get in front of the existing users!
probably any of them that publish to a journal, the scientist could make it public themselves if they wanted to. This is theft...
I can't believe some of these actions being taken by Amazon don't violate the NLRA. Maybe they've done the math and have concluded that any protentional penalties will cost less than allowing a fair shake at a union or maybe they think the recently packed courts will tend to favor corporate interests over workers' rights.
On a tangent, but related IMO: the whole WWW seems gross now.

The other day on that Mold linker project:

> I wanted to use the linker to link a Chromium executable with full debug info (~2 GiB in size) just in 1 second. LLVM's lld, the fastest open-source linker which I originally created a few years ago, takes about 12 seconds to link Chromium on my machine.

As much as I like that linker project, I can't help but feel it's like a pothead buying a bigger pipe: you're just going to smoke more weed.

How can it make sense in a sane world for a web browser to take up more space than entire operating systems? Red ( https://www.red-lang.org/ ) and Factor ( https://factorcode.org/ ) among many others deliver comparable capabilities in ~1M.

The Gemini project is one interesting alternative. Every once in awhile I wonder what the folks using Urbit are up to in there.

But for the masses of unwashed users out there I think they're stuck with it. I feel like we are seeing the genesis of cyborg AIs with humans for neural nodes.
Yup. It's funny I describe one of the biggest downsides to smaller areas as only having 1 of a given restaurant/retail option. Like Chinese food? There is probably 1 restaurant close by. In the city you had 15-100. Grocery store? 1.

I havnt thought about it before but it's probably very similar with the people. People who enjoy the same type of music as you and that you'd want to hangout with? 1. People who enjoy playing boardgames and have time to play them? 1. Potential life partner? 1.

The options just drastically decrease which is hard to cope with for a lot of people.
I know this whole "$19B for whatsapp" topic is getting old already but I really think they solved some core problems that users had. Technically, those were probably not as challenging but functionally, this is what won me over :

- No registration required. Yes and Yes. do you hear Skype ? All you need is your phone number. And let's not get started on the privacy thing because the benefits outweigh the cost. See more below

- Easy to invite others. Just sends a simple SMS/text and wala, you are in.

- In countries like the US, SMS/Texting is very expensive (yes, i know...). Specifically, if you want to talk to someone international. Whatsapp solved this problem with ease. There were others (viber etc) but they just don't have the easy interface at least in my experience. Sure, the caveat is that everyone needs to have wifi/data plans but those are getting much more easier than convincing your phone company to stop charging bullshit rates for a simple text.

- Lets you create Groups. This sounds simple but imagine wanting to talk to your core family members in 1 text ? Whatsapp lets you do that with no pain.

- Share pictures/multimedia within groups. Again, very simple to use and comes included. I don't want to even explain what these cell phone companies charge for something they lable as MMS (not text).

Overall, when I came across Whatsapp, I was like "Finally, someone gets it and this should have been so duhhh but apparently, it wasn't". Very happy for the entire whatsapp team.
> all BCBS registered marks, which I found in TESS, are word/design marks, which means the blue cross on its own is not protected, it is only protected when it is accompanied by the word mark

As I noted in my post, though, marks don't have to be registered in order to be protected. Even if BCBS doesn't have any instances of the blue cross alone registered with the USPTO[0], that doesn't mean that BCBS couldn't still have trademark rights to it.

> while we have a reasonable likelihood of prevailing our use of the mark

I'm not convinced - there are many (seemingly) clearer-cut cases that have gone the other way. I'm not saying that this is the ideal state of trademark law, but I think that there's reasonable precedent for it.

> they have enough money to try to enforce the mark without putting a dent in their litigation budget

I agree that this is probably the dominant reason.

[0] Which I would not necessarily conclude based solely on the fact that you couldn't find it. It's not a comment on your searching skills; I've used it before, and TESS (the USPTO database search) sucks.
> Primer is the basecoat...

That's an interesting confusion within the analogy.
In fact, we submitted them to an art competition and they were accepted and put up in a museum!

but its only "recommended" which means it can not adhere to this, and still be compliant. It seems a bit pointless to make a new spec and not enforce one of the main things that trip people up.
It is important to provide clear instructions to the Turk.
We use the Amazon MTurk for a bunch of things: Categorize websites (ecommerce yes or not, blog, etc.); extract contact information from websites; extract attributes from product titles, etc.
I disagree, it was one of the few was to _discover_ music in the Spotify desktop app (with Mobile or Web, you are just SOL). I'm actually working on a webapp for personal use (integrating lastfm) to have some modicum of discovery with spotify. Their internal 'discovery' tools, much like their radio is for lack of a better work terrible.
