allowing abusive people to remain on the platform until the abused somehow get court orders, definitely doesn't sound very sane to me

rather, it sounds like a way to turn twitter into another in a long line of mostly-empty "freedom"-touting social networks that prioritized tolerance of abuse over user experience

as a Twitter shareholder, I'd prefer ElMu not ruin it, or my investment, like that
I expect that the big issue with using a cannon to launch things into space is that the small payload must be resistant to this sort of extreme acceleration.
> The creature is speaking English.

That's not a very effective counterargument - the being in question could have communicated in any way and the conversation would have been recounted in English later, unless it used interpretive dance or something.

These experiences seem to be very common. The question that I take from them is around the nature of "love", and how fundamental it is. Most religions feature infinite love and benevolence as a feature of God, and we know that the feeling of love in human beings has a biochemical basis. But is it an essential quality of the universe (like, for example, the structure of space)? Does it actually transcend the universe? I believe it does, in some form, but that's a position formed from a combination of faith and reason.
I found that conclusion weirdly dismissive, given how detailed the carotenes and their effect and regional preferences were described. It doesn't do the article justice to summarize it like that.
Jati and Varna are completely different things to Caste. Castus is a Latin word meaning clean and pure, which is where Caste comes from. Varna is occupational work. Inter marriage was allowed in Hindu scriptures, if they stopped for whatever reason, does not take away from the fact that the British (especially Christian aspect) used it to divide people in India. What you are talking about specifically is the discrimination and whilst discrimination to the poorer occupations always existed in most societies, it was accelerated in India by the Brits.
It's 'sodomy'. Reminds me of this classic:

Personally I'm expecting the Air revamp to bear a strong resemblance to the discontinued 12" MacBook, with the big differences being:

- Screen with taller aspect ratio and notch

- Keyboard with slightly more travel

- Die-shrunken M1 CPU (M2 will probably be for flagship models only, similar to latest A-series in iPhones/iPads)

It'll undoubtedly work better than when they tried that with Intel CPUs.

Now that we've got a handle on what frameworks are let's set about building one.

Sorry, but there was no explanation of a framework, just several bullet points about features and capabilities. Framework is a term that's long been in use in programming. It could mean a variety of things. Exactly what is an OS X framework, and how does it accomplish having those features?
Not sure what is so interesting about this post, the brilliant bit is the link to the KickStarter project creating an Open-source USB analyzer.

Depends what it collapses into?
>I could have the best job in the world and because I'm not working for myself, I'm not going to be happy.

This statement is not internally consistent. If it is the "best job in the world," then by definition you would be happy to do it. It reminds me of people who say things like "I like my chips to be TOO salty!" No you don't.

It also sounds like a self-imposed rule put in place for reasons of contrarianism, which would be deeply maladaptive and self-defeating, but as accusing people of contrarianism is becoming a bit of a meme round here, forget I said that.

EDIT: I appear to have been contrarian over the issue of accusing people of contrarianism. If the internet implodes in the next hour, my bad.

Not even for companies, IRC IMO would be much better, the only issue is, as always, you need someone responsible for the infrastructure: not only servers, but scripting for Jira/Dropbox/NameYourCurrentTrendyPlatform integration.

-No single point of failure.

-No dependency on a different company for a vital points of your business.

-No private info stored on a 3rd party system, in a different state and potentially a different country (legal nightmare to ask for damages).

-Distributed system. Local servers give lower lag for multisite companies, internet access outage means netsplit, not inability to communicate.

-Already existing indexing and searching features if desired.

-Many bots to automate/notify/interact with insane amounts of stuff.

-Thousands of IRC clients, with enormous customizing features, for every conceivable platform, that do as much and even more than all these "this is how communication should be" solutions.

-Bridging IRC to XMPP/Sametime/etc plugins/apps to interoperate with other companies.

I can sort of understand Slack for a small company, but if you have your own server infrastructure, no, I can't.
The current narrative in the u.s. press, including the tech press, is that china is somewhat backward and uncompetitive. Some people even still call them communist. When the reality is quite different, with cutting edge research, products, technology coming out every day.

There are cities in china you've never even heard of that have populations bigger than most major u.s. cities. In something like 50 years the Chinese went from a poor 3rd world country to 1st world, pulling over 500 million people out of poverty and into the middle class.

The u.s. view is stuck in the 1960s-80s view of China. Even the chinese food in the u.s. is old-fashioned and not modern compared to what's in China now.

Hyperdex is the result of their ongoing research at Cornell University. They have a commercial spinoff which sells Hyperdex Warp which adds full ACID transactions on hyperdex. So if you don't need full acid transactions, you can use the OSS version, if you want the extra services you have to pay.

It's the same with all software, really: to be able to do a large scale project you have to have funding from somewhere, as you need developers full time working on it to fix/write the stuff no-one wants to fix/write. Some OSS projects get this funding indirectly by sponsored developers who work at company X and write OSS code all day for the project (this is what Linux uses). Other projects are funded by VC money, licenses, support contracts or ads. It's not common a large scale OSS project is successful and stays successful without any funding from the outside.

Thus, if a piece of software gets its funding by selling licenses (like with Hyperdex Warp), it's the same as with a company getting funding by sponsoring: if the cashflow stops, the show ends. In the case of OSS you can grab the sourcecode at least, but in the end, to successfully maintain that it takes a lot of effort most of the time, as the projects are often large, complex and the internals unknown to the user.

Forums with good moderation solve those problems. A nice example is rpg.net.

Traditional linear forums are still the best format for in-depth discussion, IMO. Threads actually stick around for more than a day or two. Just compare gamedev.net to /r/gamedev.

Yes, in-flight streaming services tend to have a bunch of stuff on a little server on-board, and the in-cabin routers can more than handle that. It's the plane<->ground link that's the chokepoint; on a lot of planes that bandwidth isn't much better (and sometimes worse) than a 4G cellular link, but shared among everyone on board.
It's all about propaganda. Looks like not much has changed in Russian government ideology over the last 25 years.
Hack is also a substantially better language than PHP.

It, directly or indirectly, fixes a lot of horrible behaviour. PHP's absurd comparison operators, for instance, are safely usable once you drop them into a statically typed environment.

Everyone uses Python it is probably the most used language ever.
I think it is really nice that Google gave the organisation some cash.
If Google are trying to buy some goodwill in the developer community it is working.
I guess it checks it when you actually try to dereference the pointer?
On Intel too you still have to "repair"the pointer before you use it.
It's definitely not the safest optimisation but it can be used to great effect when needed.

I think Intel is adding CPU support for pointer tagging operations in the future which should make them a lot easier / safer / more efficient to work with, though I can't find a reference now, it doesn't refer to it as pointer tagging.

Any more information on encoding the type information in virtual memory layout? Sounds cool.

I guess you have different types allocated in specific regions?
It's scary to watch the videos, all of them have a happy ending, but ...

> Society never has had recommendation algorithms pushing radicalizing content/communities for engagement.

How did Marxists, Nazis, religious terrorists come to this world? The world had worse before "recommendation algorithms". Books, newspaper, TV, radio, schools, religious institutions have been used to push radical ideologies for thousands of years and still going.
We are an application vendor delivering to customer prem and cloud. Most of our customers either have Kubernetes already and want us to deploy there, or they have heard it's in fashion and want us to help them deploy it. It's a checkbox on our marketing glossy.

Nomad would be ideal for our app if it was up to us. Much respect for all the Hashi things, but we can't always use them.
> But still it'd still start us (employee and employer) on the wrong foot.

Absolutely false. I hear VPs all the time speak about trying to "close a candidate" during negotiations, like a car sale. If you are a tough negotiator you will only earn their respect.
You see, even a sentence like "The Russians liked to send humans into the meat grinder" to me seems SO unfair and driven by a deeply conditioned mentality - please, don't take this personally and I don't really mean to offend -. While lack of organisation and proper equipment was a fact, they also were fighting a war in their own country. Which is quite a different story than just sending people abroad having an entire nation supporting you. This is something nor the US nor the UK has ever faced during their whole "modern" history.

Those two soldiers sharing a rifle in the US would have been called heroes and would have had tens of movies covering their stories. But as they were Russians, they were just two poor unlucky men sent against their will to the meat grinder while probably they were soldiers well aware of giving their lives -trying to- protect their people.

It's this basic lack of respect which is hurting me and that just confirms how history is the result of books written and approved by the current political power.

To me, casualties say it all as they are the only real indicator of the suffering of a country (which goes well beyond propaganda). Also consider in such situations the line between official soldiers, unofficial militias and lone fighters is just a matter of definitions and asking "it was winter or a bullet?" is just the wrong question.
I basically agree, it's more of a problem if the rampant homelessness is due to bad code that makes it too common (as opposed to imperfect design of your city), which given the history of the game isn't beyond the realms of possibility, eg: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g418BSF6XBQ
I use emacs all day every day, and the only crashing problems I've had has been helm-projectile lagging and crashing if you start typing too fast after invoking it.

I'm also seeing that. Anyone know what it's about?
Wow, you guys are fearless, so much for sure.

Cassandra and Hadoop alone need a good chunk of domain knowledge to keep them running smoothly. Seeing them listed casually next to so many other deployment stacks makes me feel slightly dizzy.

I'm definitely looking forward to see if you'll be able to pull this off.
A very well done site! The ability to jump in and make a card and get a shortened link without signing up and harvesting email is one of the real attractions, the other is the flickr integration, its really slick.

A possible problem is you may be violating the license to some of these images. The first few I checked out where all creative commons, but this one does not allow derivative works, but it shows up in the results: http://www.flickr.com/photos/24879866@N05/3488893875/

(I may be misinterpreting the license)

One minor thing, where it displays the images from flickr, I would make the "use" button more apparent, it doesn't look like a button so it is not clear that you can click on it.

Otherwise its a very nice site, how long did it take you to build? Technical details?
Authenticity is key. Once you figure out how to fake that, you're golden.
It seems that ARccOS has evolved into 'structural protection' - http://forum.slysoft.com/showthread.php?t=23291
I'm not the right person to answer all of these (the post author is). I'll do my best on what I can.

For permissions, there are five levels of users. System, Agency, Site Owner, Member, Public. These are hierarchical like everything else. Group members and individual users can have varying read/write/create permissions for different areas of the content tree.

This is all at the API level. So someone logged in will have the same permissions whether they are browsing the frontend of the site, the administration UI or using the API. This is nice, tidy and easy to understand.

As for XHR vs not...

In the Admin UI, we're doing most work through the API via XHR and JS templates. On the public site of things, everything happens server side just like any other CMS.
I'm looking forward to the follow-up post where Researchers restore 90 GB of Data from 1g of Bacteria.
^H^H^H^H^H^once the volume compensate the bad decisions.

there. fixed it for you.
Your application spans several major areas of computing technology. First, you would need a highly efficient data capture system - most epidemic information (flu etc.) come from non-structured inputs such as web search trends, texting, hospital emergency call patterns, Hospital staff reports, CDC tracking, PCP tracking etc. These inputs are like fire-hoses. So, you must have an efficient input interface. Keywords here are XMPP, eJabberD, SMS Gateway, etc.

Next the data must be stored and sorted efficiently, so that the analytical engines can easily produce intelligent outcomes. Here the keywords are: NoSQL, Hadoop, Map-Reduce, BigTable, Mongo, etc. Read various High Scalability case studies such as Twitter, Facebook, Flicker, etc.

Next you need to deploy an analytical engine so that the visitors can run their own decision making queries. You probably have to prepare some standard/canned reports also. Here the Keywords are: Machine Learning (ML), Weka, Bayesian Partitioning, Markov Chains, PMML, etc.

Then you have to actually write the web app and put it in a hosting facility for the world to access. Here there are many options. Keywords are: Python, Rails, Heroku, AWS, EC2, Rackspace, Azure etc.

Yes, it's a good idea to hire a hacker at least part-time or even find a Tech Co-founder. In your case, it is better if the person has some domain knowledge (Social Health issues).
I'm not. The fact is, here at any rate (UK), Android is really making massive inroads. The lines are blurring a lot though. Blackberry is suddenly a viable option for teens.

I wouldn't be surprised if Android phones were outselling iPhone by a large margin in the UK.

Looking for part-time work, remote or here in NYC.

Full stack dev here with 10 years of experience in startups in NY and San Francisco. Most recently I've done augmented reality Unity contract work, and prior to that, I was the second engineer at a well funded startup where I helped architect a Flask REST backend and a rich and responsive React frontend from scratch.
I wouldn't say "solved", as it's still pretty easy to accidentally overwrite old versions, but it was a step in the right direction. VMS is full of good ideas that never went anywhere.
This really isn't any worse than the other invasions of privacy that have been revealed

I think you're incorrect on this. The level of intrusion here is much greater. There is a reason why video phones never really replaced voice: they are too revealing. This borders on voyeurism.

Remember the stories of TSA agents joking about what they saw on full body scanners? I don't believe it is credible to think that these types of photos aren't used in a similar fashion here even though it's a different country and agency. And that's actually the least damaging way they could be used.
This is further compounded by the likelihood that the jobs advertised may be sham postings that are only being spammed out to you to fulfill legal requirements for restricted visas held by imported workers.

For your own amusement, try responding to one or two, and see what happens.

It isn't quite so posh when you discover that the job opportunities constantly streaming into your inbox don't actually exist.
