That's a ridiculous interpretation.
It's the correct interpretation.

People don't have an obligation to uncritically pass on any and all messages.
True.

That a publisher only publishes certain books is not censorship of all the other books.
True.

That you promote your own views without simultaneously mentioning all other views is not censorship.
True.

Freedom of speech means that you can put up your own lawn signs in your lawn. It doesn't mean that you get to put your lawn signs in other people's yards. It certainly doesn't mean that they are obligated to print and put up your signs in their yard.
True.

These are all true, but irrelevant. Refusing to help spread a message is different than trying to stop other people help spread a message. I've been repeating this for a while now. If you're still confused, try rereading our discussion until you see the difference.
Yep. It always amazes me when die-hard OOP'ers get it all wrong and think FP is at war with their beloved OO. Well no. Plenty of FP languages exist that combine FP and OO together. Scala.. F#.. OCaml.. etc.
You seem to be complaining about some stuff that's not actually mentioned in the comment at issue. That's not a great way to back up that "divorced from reality" assertion. And for the stuff that does appear to be at least somewhat relevant to the comment at issue, you haven't clarified anything about what you believe to be divorced from reality, merely asserted that it is all "nonsense".

The comment at issue did not use the phrase "kids in cages". That's you adding your personal color to a subject that you seem to object to being brought up in any manner at all. It looks like you're trying to build a straw-man or three, rather than justify the accusation that the comment in question is "entirely divorced from reality".
As they should be, equality under the law should include the President. And the things he said were not protected speech.
Where in his speech did he specifically call for insurrection? Quote it. You can blame him for riling people up all you want, but he never instructed anybody to break into the capitol or interfere with the electoral vote or anything of that nature. People who were there even say that they were breaking into the Capitol while Trump was still speaking.

So tired of people having these absolutely vile attitudes (accusing the person you're responding to of being "likely to disagree with reality") while never presenting any facts.
Orlando and Puerto Rico are both part of the same country.
It's true that terrorism & sedition is not protected speech, but it's also true that the logic Twitter is invoking here to connect the tweets to terrorism & sedition is questionable at best. Regardless, why should we accept Twitter banning people for the "wrong" reasons?
Or it dismantles the way they will organize with weapons to the next destination they seem unworthy of Trumpism. Could be a place like the U.S. Capitol.
That's a false choice. They're both bad.

Don't be so cavalier about what's being lost here. The right to think and to speak freely is a fundamental human right.
Copy and pasting this in multiple threads doesn't make it any more true.
Interestingly, on my machine, all 3 implementations took the same amount of realtime (~30s), but the ractor implementation took ~200s in systemtime. I'm guessing the ractor switching overhead ate up whatever parallelization gain it got.
>To think "we" can tell people what problem

As per my comment on another post I do not fall into your idea of "we". I've spent all of my life in Africa. Much of it under mosquito nets.

Much like other posters here you're approaching this from an academic point of view (maslow etc). The truth is very different. Eg did you know that DDT is still (officially) being used to combat malaria? As in they spray that stuff on houses (it's compulsory for some areas). Enjoy the birthdefects. Another poster here reckoned my pessimism is unwarranted. What does it take for it to be warranted?

Africa... One step forward two steps back.
Not quite. Land is the main cost of buildings in the most desirable places in the developed world. In the US Pacific Northwest as an example, outside of major metro areas people will spend about 1.5-4x the cost of land on the actual structure. If you buy a $150K lot in Boise Idaho as an example it's pretty standard to then spend between $200K-$400K on the structure and landscaping.
Depending on the era and location, slave labour totally skews the calculation too.
I think this is a gigantic leap. They show a whole bunch of graphs without even advancing a theory as to how abandoning the gold standard caused a decline in, for example, employee compensation growth. Or divorce rates. Or ... obesity rates, really? There's so many graphs on here that it would take forever to dispute all of them, but here's some general points.

1. A lot of these graphs start at 1940 or 1950, showing a change in the trend in the early 1970s. But that was the end of WW2, where Europe was in ruins and rebuilding and America saw a massive increase in prosperity and economic output. That was a pretty unique period, it's only natural for that trend to diminish or change over time.

2. A hell of a lot happened in the late 60s and early 70s, not just abandoning the gold standard. One of these graphs is of the incarceration rate. Do you think we started seeing mass incarceration at that time because we abandoned the gold standard, or do you think it was because of the war on drugs?

3. Some of these graphs are deliberately misleading. One is of the cumulative inflation rate, and seems to show the inflation accelerate in the early 1970s. Except a healthy economy should have a steady inflation rate each year (of around 2% I believe), so this graph is supposed to be exponential! They just picked the right window so that 1971 is the inflection point.
Depending on what "is" is... It's a 32 bit architecture, what do you care if it is implemented with 4 or 16 bit microarchitecture. Some minicomputers were built from bitslice (1-bit) parts :)
I'm sure the above was downvoted because it was not a substantive contribution to the discussion /s

This path worked for me. I recently started a position at a credit union that focuses on serving customers typical banks/credit unions won't touch. Every week we get to hear feedback from customers who are grateful that we've taken the time to look beyond their credit scores and see how we might be able to help them out of their particular financial distress.

I've always enjoyed programming and never had any job I absolutely hated. But I've never really felt excited about the mission of my employer before and it makes such a difference in my daily attitude and motivation. I can really get behind the "teach a man to fish vs. give a man a fish" approach we take. I think it also helps that the results of our efforts directly impact the community I live in vs. a change the world type vision that a large corporation would have.

On top of it all, I got a nice raise to come here, especially when you include the benefits package. So don't resign yourself to the fact that you'll have to take a pay cut.

Hmm. I've spent some time making my own Trello clone but mine has changed a little more than the one in the OP. First of all, mine is called Trellu. Check it out and let me know your thoughts:

Is there a method to store blood and have it still be viable for transfusion after that long? I know refrigerated blood only lasts a few weeks...
To the best of my knowledge, the people behind this project wrote code.

I don't know if it's a Bash script containing your one liner, though... But they seem to have their own code. (I don't think Trello's code is freely available).

Bear in mind, I'm not for or against. I'm just putting the thing in perspective and to be compared with what happened throughout History.

When I do Ctrl+K, Ctrl+T, Ctrl+W, Ctrl+Tab in Firefox or Chrome, they all have the same side effects.

There are lots of semi-related issues raised in your post.

Generally copying/cloning a design is legally OK, but copying the implementation/execution of that design is not OK. This is well demonstrated in the font industry. You can copy a typeface as long as you do it "cleanly" (ie by not reverse engineering the font files), which is why there are lots of cheap copies of common fonts. This is probably the most relevant aspect for this project. They can copy the look'n'feel of Trello as perfectly as they can, but they can not copy Trello assets, CSS etc.

Then there is the Ribbon. Being software Microsoft has it patented which makes clones of Ribbon more in the gray area. On the other hand the enforceability of such patents is somewhat questionable.

Lastly the games. In addition to copyright infringement I suspect there is also risk of trademark infringement. What makes trademarks interesting that they are thought to need enforcing to remain valid, so companies generally are less willing to a blind eye to tm infringements. Also unlike copyright which considers where the work comes from, trademarks generally consider only what the work looks like and if it can be confused to the original trademark.
Nothing new about it. Way back when, Pan Am offered "free" helicopter service into the city for first class passengers. (Originally to the heliport on the roof of the Pan Am building until that was banned following an accident.)

JFK is a ways out. Newark is much less of a big deal because there's good train service between that airport and Penn Station.
I don’t know why it's posted, but Booz Allen won a contract a few years ago to take it over. It makes boatloads of cash, like literally hundreds of millions of dollars in profit. Because of that, there was a long procedural battle for control of it between Booz and the incumbent, which kept the new site from going live. But, because of its profitability, it’s one of those types of government contracts that you could ride out for an entire career.
It is a wise man who knows that he knows nothing. - Not sure who really said it.

What I find interesting, and somewhat disheartening, is that the people who are incompetent and constantly brag about themselves, actually tend to be more successful because people admire confidence.
That looks bulky, but I'm pretty sure it's the future of laptops/netbooks/tablets. You can fold it up to protect the screens, whereas an iPad is perpetually at risk.

Also, reminds me of the Microsoft Courier concept (which was actually pretty badass).
I remember Rainbow 6 III Black Arrow or something had very usable voice recognition for the solo game. You basically had a few commands like 'regroup,' 'go go go,' 'hold this position' which worked out better than button commands. It seemed to disappear in subsequent Tom Clancy games but glad to hear they brought it back for Vegas.

I think the key with speech recognition and natural language processing is to forget the HAL9000/StarTrek 'hello computer' nonsense, and focus on constrained domains augmented by other technologies.

Touchpad keyboards are blatantly less usable than hard keyboards but by the time you factor in a) portability and b) auto-completion of words/urls/search-strings, then they become a more than viable alternative.

People have incredibly adaptive linguistic skills, developers should harness this more IMO rather than be overly ambitious with NLP.

That said I was very impressed with the accuracy of Google's voice search app. But like Jeff Atwood says, it's easier just to search normally.

Well, they don't have to "beat the flood of global students applying to USA schools", they just have to attract enough good students. There's a large pool out there after all.
While something to consider later, this is completely unhelpful and beside the point right now.
Those were very different in 2006.
You must have better eyes than me. It looks to me like the slopes are all equal to one until the languages hit bottlenecks (for Haskell, at 6000; for Erlang, at 1000; and for Python, at 12000).
Great example of what Guy Kawasaki (and many others to be fair) have been preaching for quite some time now. If you have a web-based idea there's really no excuse not to give it a shot.
Related to this great post I also suggest 1) the StartupTools wiki (started by the awesome guys at Songkick) http://startuptools.pbwiki.com/ and 2) a post I read last night about how to hire a programmer to make your idea happen (http://sivers.org/how2hire).

I agree that this app is going to face fierce competition from well funded companies, but the accomplishment so far is great so congrats and best of luck!
Bias is something totally different than being untrustworthy.

I write for TorrentFreak and while I agree that we have our own look on things, we do check all facts carefully, possibly more than the average 'news' outlet.

Please back up your untrustworthy claim or stick to the bias one.
Th JPG analogy does hold water

People buying a Picasso painting are paying for the scarcity of the physical artifact, not for the pretty picture.

A more reasonable comparison would be to compare the price of a poster of a Picasso painting with a Tiff of a high enough resolution to reproduce that poster. And I'll bet you in that scenario the poster is cheaper.
Of course familiarity by way of similarity to previous experience is a valid question for debate. My claim is that it is just one of several considerations for judging the merit of an overall design, and not necessarily the most important one.
Although from a different angle, mechanize is wonderful (for the testing part), along with the Selenium python bindings (but that one's not pure python).
Keep in mind Moore's law as originally stated was a law of economics, not engineering -- that decreasing feature size means more dice and thus more revenue per wafer, while also increasing the performance of the individual ICs.

These days I think energy usage is the overriding concern, both because of thermal limits in high performance systems, and energy budgets in low-power systems. A smartphone which is fast enough to play Farmville or run a python interpreter is cool and sells well, but there is still a huge economic incentive to cut energy usage further, since that would increase battery life.

The core of your argument seems to be that since things like netbooks, smartphones, Python and Ruby are currently "fast enough", there is little incentive to increase the core count. I disagree with that, because energy savings will (or would) still add massive economic value. Whether these kinds of systems will become reality is a different question, since of course programming them is a very hard problem.

But how cool would it be to have a smartphone with 100 cores, each running at a few MHz or so (and apps which use them efficiently) and battery life of a month or so? Also, think of how motivated companies with datacenters are to reduce energy costs.
I never said it wasn't irrational. It's definitely irrational for me to spend so much time on the game, but that's the whole point of the article. Zynga uses compulsion, not fun, to keep players coming back. Compulsion isn't rational, so if you're arguing "but that isn't rational" then you've missed a big portion of not only the article, but my overly verbose comment as well.
How does the privacy features (i.e. restricting access to certain information to certain people) work if the information is embedded in DNS? (Also, how can you use "dig" or similar to extract the information from a *.tel address? Everything I try seems to return the same sort of information I'd get from any other domain.)
They work in 9-10 hour shifts, 24/7, with hundreds of people to check (often people who doesn’t know any English word) during peek times.

Quite frankly, the expression "peek time" in this context is nothing short of hilarious. Well played.
Or at least Mean Time Before Mutation (MTBM). I'm curious to see the checksum protein they deploy.
Agreed the source document labels itself as "POTENTIAL POLICY RECOMMENDATIONS TO SUPPORT THE REINVENTION OF JOURNALISM".

So I don't see why the bashing of the Washington Times Editorial as "TOTALLY DISHONEST" -- which CLEARLY makes reference to the "May 28 Draft proposal" in the first paragraph.

It's obvious that this represents a fairly accurate portrayal of the FTC's existing thinking and deserves to be scrutinized.
It seems to me that creative catharsis is a different beast than the rage catharsis of punching a pillow or screaming. Giving one's moods free reign seems a recipe for bad socialisation. But giving creativity free reign seems a requirement to get some of the stranger or more unexpected results. Ascii cock-and-balls and racism with bad grammar seems a small price to pay.

The conservationist in me always cringes whenever I hear of hydrogen or helium gases escaping gravitational pull, because I know it's never coming back. I always have to remind myself that the planets are ultimately doomed anyway, and that there's a ton more gas than I can imagine, so supply is not yet in danger of exhaustion. (that I apply these concerns to another planet I'll probably never even get near, I have decided to simply take in stride)

Nonetheless, cool article. It's interesting how many theories are coming about anymore involving life on satellites rather than planets. I understand they are probably more common than small rocky planets what with the abundance of gas giants, but are they more or less suited to life? It seems like the presence of a massive body nearby (the planet it's orbiting) would have a big impact. Plus, the distance from the sun would increase and decrease (meaning light and temperature variations), and overall incumbent light would be minimal.
I think you're most likely to succeed if you can provide a quality service in a constrained market.

In my specific case, the choices available are to either go to the vendor and pay more than 100k to get all the training for 10-15 people simultaneously, or to find someone who's been through it already and mind-meld. I've found one other group who is doing something similar to what I'm thinking, but their offering is laughable (machine voiceover!).

I believe I could easily charge 1k-2k per month for site licenses of well constructed materials. Maybe quite a bit more, especially if I offer custom materials for clients. The foundation would be shared across all though.
How about the basics in FF first: native 60fps video to start?
There's eshell, shell and term, each with tradeoffs (see on of my other comments). I have an external terminal running tmux and a bunch of curses programs (wicd-curses, alsamixer and cmus) but do everything else in shell mode or eshell mode.

To me, the killer feature of shell mode is the ability to manipulate the buffer contents like any other file. The killer feature of eshell is its built-in TRAMP support, for manipulating and opening remote files transparently. Eshell's lack of pipes makes shell mode my default though.
If the author cleared them, then it explains the cover price.
You still need to wash off the dust, so some sort of wipers are needed still.

I knew a German exchange student in HS that said he learned a lot of his English from watching US TV and having the German subs until he could understand spoken English well enough then he switched to the English subs to get better at reading it as well. I've l've always considered trying to grab some TV shows with foreign audio tracks and English subs and giving it a go. The problem is a lot of the TV I "watch" is in the background while doing something else.
"ain't u ev'r caught bae slippin?"
Note, that I was and am raising a question, not making an argument.

Let's assume that open office floorplans result in a decrease in productivity. The author mentioned that the open office plan did create a sense of camaraderie. Suppose that people attrited or you lost out on recruiting talent because your office felt too old-school, or they left because other startups felt more fun. This is one instance where long-term productivity could suffer for the sake of near-term productivity.

I'm not saying that this happens, but it's something to consider. In fact, we're in the process of selecting office space right now, and it's a lot easier to find law firm style offices with only rooms - no open space. We've decided against it - and are going with open space (plus a few quiet rooms) for a couple reasons. First, we don't want to lose out on the fun factor. Being able to shoot the shit with your friends may be distracting, but it makes the workday a lot more bearable. Our particular dev team actually agrees with this, but I could definitely see the counter argument. The other reason is that it makes much more sense for our sales team, call support, and operations guys to be able to shout questions to each other in real time. Try giving an inside sales rep his or her own office - their numbers plummet because they are no longer immersed in the competitive environment of a sales floor.

Any way, I'm just trying to make the point that there are downsides to having a traditional cubicalized office that could erode the immediate benefits.
