I could not agree more!
Stupid and problematic as the post-colonial national borders of Africa are, the world is largely stuck with them. Actually changing borders is tremendously difficult diplomatically, no matter how much justice is involved. Opening that can of worms can open up WWIII.

Building the green wall can prevent a lot of war, and solve problems that affect the entire planet, not just Africa.
I did this successfully with my agency http://bootstrapheroes.com/ https://experts.shopify.com/socialproof-it we grew from a team of two to 10+. The biggest lesson I learned is if you want to create an agency you need to become one of the top experts in a specific area that is relatively new and growing like crazy. In new areas their is no experts so very easy in the beginning to become one or fake it until you are one. For me it was becoming one of the top Shopify app development experts. If I had tried to start an agency in a mature market like development for Magento/ Drupal sites I would have had a way harder time for their is lots of agencies with great track records in these areas.
I had one with Cherry MX Clear switches, and found the switches still too hard to press, perhaps because the keyboard itself seems very tall. The CODE keyboards are rather thick (but incredibly well constructed), and due to this height, my wrists had to bend upward more than was comfortable to me.

I've since bought two Realforce 87U keyboards (with all 45g switches [1]). Topre switches don't seem to require nearly as much force or travel distance as the Cherry MX switches offered on the CODE keyboard, but still feel crisp.

The backlighting and key layout (normal-sized super key, media key location, etc.) on the CODE keyboard are pretty hard to beat, though.

Microsoft's political intentions seem nice and all, but I'd like to see them focus more on encryption, too. I've seen some hints of that with the new stuff for Windows 10, but they still need to do more. Skype adopting Axolotl/ZRTP would go a long way to secure their users' data.
I'd like to put in a good word for openDNS. I've used them for several years and have always found David Ulevitch and the company to be friendly, helpful, and reliable.
>actually be pretty successful

The article has the quote "Mr. Borker described his business as fantastically profitable. At his home, that seems unlikely." and goes on to paint a dimmer picture of his prospects.

In the other thread about this article, I noted how this guy has the exact opposite of the Zappos customer service philosopy, and will likely end up reaping what he's sewn.

The sad thing is that many people don't look up a company they don't know. He's likely taking advantage of time-pressed or less savvy consumers.
> It's all a lost cause in my opinion. The People are corrupt and the Government is certainly corrupt. What can we do now? We just have to wait for the inevitable implosion.

You know, you're probably right. In all likelihood, it's going to get much worse before it gets any better. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't strive to make it better. We may fail, but at least we tried.
I want to play devil's advocate here, and would love input from others as well, because if I'm right my thinking casts the govt. in a much less harsh light.

ICANN was created to manage DNS and IP address space on behalf of the govt. It's a non-profit that operates independently under a board of directors, and it's mandate comes from a Memorandum of Understanding which set up a relationship between ICANN and the U.S. govt. However, it still appears that ICANN is under the authority of the U.S. govt., although it is formally a non-profit corporation in California. I mean it's under U.S. authority sort of in the same way that the Bush administration could press telecoms to illegally wiretap communications at Folsom St. in San Francisco and elsewhere. Now, that warrant-less wiretapping was blatantly unconstitutional, because legally protected privacy was breached. However, these domain seizures are different, because nobody is guaranteed the right to use domain names; it's more of a privilege like driving. People don't have the "right" to drive cars. That's a privilege granted by states, and subject to their regulations and laws. If a person applied for a license and stated they only wanted to drive so they could rob banks and get away faster, I'm guessing they could be legally denied the license, no court case needed. Well, this appears to be a similar issue. It would make these seizures look like less of an overreach by the DHS.

The issues around DCMA are something different to address. I'm strictly talking about this domain seizure issue, and the claim of unconstitutional censorship. That may not be an accurate claim at all. It may be that we need to ensure ICANN is out of the jurisdiction of the U.S. govt.
I don't know about you, but I plan to resell something only long after I bought it.
It's the perpetuation of a fraud. Even if we presume our people were committed to these ideas, which they aren't anymore, the commitment quickly erodes once you become the one with the power to "expedite" or skirt these protections. Until the character of all those involved in government is pure, government is going to attempt to make "special exceptions" (read: not really that special) and fear monger the whole way so that people stay off their backs.

It is crucial to the preservation of our liberties that The People frequently reassess how well we are following these principles and that they exert their sovereign authority to ensure that they are followed by our representatives and administrators as closely as possible.

Now, does our populace do this anymore? I don't think they do. I think they are mostly concerned with and distracted by social issues (which are important, but have become a huge distraction to all other forms of policy) and let everything else slide until Glenn Beck or Keith Olbermann feign outrage to further political or commercial agenda.

It's all a lost cause in my opinion. The People are corrupt and the Government is certainly corrupt. What can we do now? We just have to wait for the inevitable implosion.
I treat Numerical Recipes like a bank robbery: get in and get out.

I look up the ONE solution I need, read the associated 2-3 pages, and put it away for another few months.

Was this review about the different devices, adobes pdf or googles OCR?

Reading pdf books on any device is something that could do with improvement. Most of the time I just give up and download the text version.

For the next review download android adobe reader app or goodreader for iPad and let us know how it goes.
I should have started with my status.
I released mine yesterday but only to my friends. Will wait to get there feedback before announcing it on HN which might take couple of weeks.
So true. I still like my iPhone (jailbroken, sbsettings ftw) but I complained about this exact same thing long ago around 2003 when I had one of those badass HTC phone-PDAs[1] with Windows CE. Quick 1-2 tap access to that stuff is a must for me, and some of my less geeky friends. It's a pretty glaring omission to an otherwise excellent OS.

[1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTC_Blue_Angel

I don't have good ideas about where that UI might be though. Sliding across the status bar like sbsettings? Another pane like the new music controls? On the search page? There's got to be an elegant way to do it.
Please keep in mind that I'm not disagreeing with you, just noting that alternate information comes to a similar answer ("far fewer than 150").
Many of us in the US who are attached to civil liberties and individual freedom are taking notice.

From civil liberties to software patents, maybe Europe isn't what Rush Limbaugh says it is. Wonder of wonders.
You cannot propel yourself forward by patting your own back.
The timeframe probably makes the psychological impact different (over 40 years vs. in one day), though.
I'll agree with you on the protocols but not on the delegation. In fact apples engineers are all over the place on applying delegation and event handling. Some components have up to 3 different ways of handling callbacks - delegation, events, and notifications. Delegates are fine when you demand a 1 to 1 handshake, but they shouldn't be used for general callbacks.
The U.S. Army has been using iPod touch and iPhone in the field for the last two years.

"Software developers and the U.S. Department of Defense are developing military software for iPods that enables soldiers to display aerial video from drones and have teleconferences with intelligence agents halfway across the globe. Snipers in Iraq and Afghanistan now use a "ballistics calculator" called BulletFlight, made by the Florida firm Knight's Armament for the iPod Touch and iPhone. Army researchers are developing applications to turn an iPod into a remote control for a bomb-disposal robot (tilting the iPod steers the robot). In Sudan, American military observers are using iPods to learn the appropriate etiquette for interacting with tribal leaders. Translation is another important area. A new program, Vcommunicator, is now being issued to soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan."

Twitter itself, today, is a shittier version of itself, a decade ago.
I've also wondered about this, I suspect because Facebook hired 75% of their lawyers in the last 3 months we will find out soon.

I could see one argument about how an algorithm doesn't really editorialize.

A metaphor that is often used is that social media companies is that they are more like a newsstand than an editorial board on a newspaper. A newsstand isn't under any obligation to sell all the papers available in their stand or place them in a specific order. I would expect the social media companies to say that their algorithms are closer to placing newspapers on a stand based on market conditions, not based on their personal opinions/eye. If that holds up to scrutiny we'll see.
The grassroots WalkAway group was removed from Facebook today. It was not about Q and had only encouraged rallies and protests, and did not condone breaking into government buildings. It was a repository of hundreds of thousands of video and text testimonials from ex-Democrats explaining why they felt alienated, often by seeing events/individuals they felt were covered unfairly by the media or by cancel culture in their private life, and their lived experiences of why they left the party. Is that not useful information?
Comparing the Junior Congresswoman to the President of the U.S. does not lend credence to your follow-up statement especially given the ridiculous & slanderous coverage she's been given.
No further discussion with you is warranted.

The problem is when you can’t agree on the facts it’s hard to even discuss things.

“Alternative truths” which have been disseminated widely and used to storm a capital (where there were deaths). It could have been way worse. Being involved in online organization of something like that probably isn’t great for your brand.

Politics has a problem on both sides were business gets more ear than people.
The shift started at least months, if not years ago. At least one could laugh at the internal contradictions of the people championing for this, since they're mostly also "pro privacy". At least they think so.

People can really fluidly go between "yay E2E encryption" and "Facebook needs to make sure only 'truth' is allowed". Ban the lies!

Funniest thing was the Cambridge Analytica scandal, where Facebook was booed, nearly universally, because they had an fairly open API (which enabled people to consent to share their data with CA). Few tech-illiterate news articles later, and everyone is convinced that Trump won the elections because of Facebook evilness (and, of course, CA had 'magic algorithms' which could change peoples' minds en masse just by showing them few targeted ads; that's completely undeniable; "trusted journalist" said so).

Eh.
Yup and if I owned a platform I wouldn’t be obligated to let them use it.

So what’s the problem?
I narrowly escaped death at level 9, and lost at level 10.

Could have completed level 10, maybe 11 with a little luck, without those lags (mostly due to all those things running on my computer atm, so basically it's mainly my fault) making the game ignore one click out of 3~4.

I'm a designer really used to RGB colors, btw.
Nice & fun game, well polished!

Protected class is a term used in US law.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protected_class

Why shouldn't pets be a protected class? Because pets are not people, for one, and protected class refers to a class of people.

Secondly, making something a protected class involves taking some freedom away from another group of people. It is a balancing act.

Most people don't think you have the "right" to bring your misbehaving dog everywhere you go. Everywhere, no matter if it is appropriate or not. If most people did, it is possible pet owners would be made a protected class in US law.

Family status is a protected class for housing. I can't say "I only rent to families without children" but I can ban children from my restaurant. It isn't all or nothing. Probably because kids can misbehave and the type of person who has a misbehaving child probably also is the one taking their child to places inappropriate for children.
In Germany landlords are allowed to forbid pets, but they can't do anything about "small animals" such as cats or rodents unless they cause trouble (e.g. via excessive smell or noise).
I would find it upsetting if I got less than the amount of seat space I had paid for due to an obese person encroaching on my space.

Washington Post? ;).
Google Now has been used as voice reminder keeper by me for a long time!

There are cases where it can still miss by a large margin, but general usability has greatly improved over past 2 years.

I would love to see that this thing become smarter, that it can detect you are saying a list of things then format them automatically. That well be truly AMAZING!
No. I'm saying it's fine for people to stick to the usage they prefer, which may organically bring about a change, but there's no need to be critical of other people for using what is a commonly understood usage.
They're called "warrants", and they require probable cause.

The US is a weird country. We have insanely powerful and arguably excessive civil liberties in some cases (advocating fringe political viewpoints, owning guns, the exclusionary rule) combined with crazy police state antics whenever the feds can get away with them.
One does not have to be "technical by trade" to know that using "password" as your password is wrong. Only idiots do that. And they do do that, otherwise the "sophisticated hackers" (I jest) would not be "cracking" all of these OpenSSH servers by guessing the passwords. The user sets passwords such as secret, letmein, abc123, etc. And then these "elite hackers" you speak of come along doing simple brute force because... wait for it... it works: http://www.dragonresearchgroup.org/insight/sshpwauth-cloud.h...
I agree this is good news, but even if this preliminary ruling were to hold up, it doesn't solve all the problems relating to libel and the internet in the UK. For example, because of the way email and Usenet posts propagate, if someone in the UK becomes aware of a message that offends his or her sensibilities, and a UK-based server is involved in the routing, as I understand it, the author could still be sued.

This also does nothing about something like the case of Funding Evil by Rachel Ehrenfeld ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Funding_Evil#Libel_controversy ), in which 23 copies of the book ordered through "web sites registered in the UK" were deemed sufficient for the law to apply, even though the book was never published in the UK.
Having worked with deployment of these networks (DOCCIS 3) for a Comcast subsidiary I can tell you this is not true. If you have 10Mb the non-guest network is prioritized. But you cannot use more than 10Mbit between the two. As stated, the author has doubled nothing.
I totally agree I'll fix it ASAP.
Congratulations you've done everything the world told you that you need to do in order to become a "winner"

It's a shame you've never seen the prize though.
I like WPF a lot, but compared to Spark in Flex, it's a giant bag of headache. If I could somehow force C# and Flex to have a lovechild with Spark for UI and C# for the code, I would be an infinitely more productive programmer.

There is a company that kinda does this already - say you are going be in SF next week. And your friends also marked on their calendars they are visiting SF - you can actually see them on a "future radar" so you schedule a meetup with them. Kinda cool?

The company is Coloci

coloci helps friends share their future and current trips, activities, travel plans and meetup face to face when they are in the same location or vicinity
It's not apropos. Can you be raped by your vibrator or your blow up doll? This is about a device passively logging data, not a moral agent doing something to you.

Show me the person that Apple has hurt. The only people I've been reading about here taking actions are law enforcement officials, people in black helicopters, and betrayed lovers.
I am not picky about design. But please change the colors. There is not enough contrast. I am really making an effort to read just because everybody says it is worth it.
To talk about the average income in Manhattan is nonsense. Big parts of Manhattan are untouchable by someone making less than several million a year. Other large parts are populated by families dependent on food stamps. There is no "average" neighborhood in Manhattan. As a statistician, the writer has to know that was a straw-man argument.
I sometimes use http://regexio.com/ to debug in the reverse direction: given a regex, generate a bunch of strings it matches, which sometimes quickly lets me see "wtf, why would it match strings like that one?"

That's something it'd be cool to see explored more; when I'm writing a regex, I usually have in mind a space of strings it's supposed to match, so a very useful debugging tool would be some way of showing me what that space is, so I can see if it's the same as the one in my head. I can't think of any cool infoviz tricks offhand that would be more useful than just a list of matching strings, but there must be something.
Can OpenBSD use Android USB tether? (I use Android Wifi Tether but my milestone battery runs too hot)
From the article:

Rack is a web server interface and software package for R. It is very much like Ruby’s Rack. In fact it is so much like Ruby’s Rack that I decided to use the same name and basic class hierarchy. You could say I “borrowed heavliy” from Ruby’s Rack, and you wouldn’t be far from the truth. In fact, you could say “I stole their idea” and re-purposed it for R, and then you’d be telling the truth.

If you're going to totally copy a concept (which is fine, this is all OSS after all), at least derive a new name for it.
It's also Windows only and not specifically for Python, whose regex library has unique features and quirks..
Regarding pricing, Disney is a good example of a company who are highly restrictive of when and for how much their content is available. I wouldn't be surprised at all if this translates to higher piracy rates.

And I meant MPAA members, not the industry org.
>I doubt that 10 years ago SJ could have guessed Apple would make money mostly on phones and music player.

Given that the iPod came out 9 years ago, in 2001, I'm sure the market was on his radar. Heck, the iPhone started development in 2004, 6 years ago. And I have to believe Steve has a vision and was simply waiting for the technology to catch up.

The most interesting point is made in one of the links by an Israeli security expert who helped design security in Tel Aviv:

And here's (http://www.vancouversun.com/story_print.html?id=2941610&...) Rafi Sela, former chief security officer of the Israel Airport Authority:

A leading Israeli airport security expert says the Canadian government has wasted millions of dollars to install "useless" imaging machines at airports across the country.

"I don't know why everybody is running to buy these expensive and useless machines. I can overcome the body scanners with enough explosives to bring down a Boeing 747," Rafi Sela told parliamentarians probing the state of aviation safety in Canada.

"That's why we haven't put them in our airport," Sela said, referring to Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion International Airport, which has some of the toughest security in the world.

Friends and people in general are always a good and necessary resource, however you still need the tools (software, platforms, services) to make your startup work. I am referring to resources such as Gmail, mailchimp, unbounce, rubyonrails, etc.. which are free for the most part and are also necessary when you are building something.
Could be me. I'm not a friend of Kant's philosophy.
On the other had, you don't have to listen to the podcasts in one session or one day.
Yeah, and the next shiny thing that comes along is personal freedom, free speech and some "crazy person" complains and you just "pretend" to throw away your principles to make them shut up.

'and then everyone reads it anyway' And when the time comes some simpleton that just takes orders and follows the law to the letter will come and throw you into prison for reading it.
