Feel free to be cynical in your answer, but why would a property owner who just paid a fortune to buy a single family house in SF want to rezone the neighborhood to see a large apartment complex built next door? Now that they've paid the heavy toll, they stand to lose the most.
> In Britain for many years the main security measure at Heathrow was for security people to simply interview passengers on check in and ask them about their bags, where they were traveling, etc. -- the main purpose was to look for behavioral cues and not so much obtain answers to the questions. I believe this is one of the things TSA officers are supposed to receive training in.

This is the case in US airports as well. I recently flew back to Belgium from JFK in NYC. Before you go through screening you get asked those questions by someone, who then writes something on your boarding pass.
I think there are too many people like me: I've been developing professionally since 2000, and I would never work outside of the city, no matter how much better the cost-of-living to income ratio is.

San Francisco is my home, and I love it.
Personally I feel the reach is too broad to be considered a library. It's becoming some of an Ext for visualizations.
gem 'rails'
You posted a website that lays out relevant electronic components supply stores in an easy to digest manner. The problem I see is that the average hobbyist might not know where to start without first knowing about that site.

For instance, I used to buy computer parts from BestBuy because it was easy, they were everywhere, and I didn't know about the smaller stores that were better priced and staffed with generally more knowledgeable staff. I knew about BestBuy because it had a large brand identity, and could market to the general population. RS was large enough to market their business stream to the general population, while these smaller stores can not.

When it comes to sourcing components, you are left to do the research if you want to buy from brick and mortar. If you want to buy a tablet or gaming console come to BestBuy because they told me they have everything.

I still think RS had a great model in hobby electronic, and I really think they could have developed that model, not only for their own financial gain, but to the betterment of society. I didn't find out about hobby electronics until I was in my late teens and more substantially early 20's studying Engineering, probably because it was never effectively marketed towards me.

Yes, the the containers are running on bare-metal multi tenant hardware. Some of the savings comes from the performance gains as noted elsewhere, but additional savings comes from not having to pay for and manage an additional layer of virtual machines.

There's no need to provision anything other than the containers.
True. You have to agree though that this is unfair to Atom. It's new, yes, it uses WebKit now, but it may have native rendering tomorrow. To shoot it down in the early beginning given it's doing many things right (like native package management) - it's not the right thing to do in this forum!

I just finished a 6 months no-caffeine trial, and there was literally not a single thing that changed in my life for those 6 months, except for the lack of tea/coffee (I replaced coffee with roasted grain drink for the 6 months). No withdrawal syndrome. Nothing has improved nor worsened.

I started drinking coffee again 3 days ago. Can't feel any change, either.
On Chrome Desktop Linux, it doesn't work despite me being logged into whatsapp web. Tries to do some xdg-open thing, but clearly that will never work considering whatsapp web has no registered protocol handlers...

Looks like it is some half completed demo integration rather than production ready...
>This comment is confusing. I thought good visual design implies both utility and aesthetics?

No, it implies utility first and foremost. Aesthetics are a secondary concern.

At least in many design theories. There are other theories where it's art of art's sake, or where utility plays second fiddle, by I don't think they're as popular - with either design experts, or even more so the general population.

In any case, this fails in both utility and aesthetics - the latter except in the sense that it goes for aesthetics.

One black friday season I went in Office Max or Depot and bought 20 $100 gift cards for Amazon because there was a very slight discount. This enabled me to purchase a laptop and save $100 approx

Remember Amazon has the credit card fee margin of savings if someone uses a gift card instead of a credit card.
In this scenario the CEO should be able to point to a body of evidence that show the Walmart has strong and robust procedures for dealing with type of waste, and they provide enough time and training to employees to follow those procedures.

Thus this specific act was the result of an employee failing to follow procedure, despite being given the training and time to do so.

This is the exact burden of proof that is used for health and safety. When an employee is seriously injured, there’s a burden on the employer to demonstrate that took all reasonable precautions to prevent the injury. That mean procedures, training and evidence that those procedures and training is followed, enforced and enough time and space to provided for employees to follow them.

This should exist through the entire chain of command, with each level ensuring that the level below isn’t cutting corners, and it part of a CEO responsibility to build that management framework. I mean it already exists for controlling costs and ensure health & safety in most successful companies, why can’t it exist for all legal and social obligations?
and fails miserably
Look at your response. Why would OP be a shill when you’ve responded this way? It’s not hard to see people will have strong opinions on things even if they believe their opinion isn’t wild, like yourself.
It really depends on the program and the thesis requirements. It can also depend on whether the Masters is an "add-on" to an existing BS at the same school or you go into a new program. In my case (long time ago), I did a Masters at a different school and it was very typically a two year program--basically one year of classes and one year of mostly thesis/directed study. But, as I recall, there were other schools that offered Masters at the time that were more typically one year programs (and did not require a thesis).
Your app description is highly misleading - the first three lines strongly give the impression it works. Even your "disclaimer" says "do not rely on it" rather than "this is complete bullshit".

Worst case this probably encourages people to slow down when driving and doesn't actually help them avoid tickets, but you're still being quite dishonest.
Being a programmer and learning Chinese is starting to look like a useful skill. The documentation for this is just another example.
>Yes it does. "deserves" very much alludes to revenge, not rehabilitation.

Possibly revenge. You might want nobody to ever face that person again, etc. Even if it's revenge that doesn't mean you want them to suffer in any particular way. Take away their freedom and turn them into an inert ignorable abstract in a box somewhere. You could stick them in an average motel room and the result would be the same.

>could you elaborate?

Just as an example, Christianity is pretty big on the concept of retribution. While it does say that it's God's job rather than man's, that doesn't change that it declares bad people deserve punishment independent of the deterrence factor.
Good: the decision

Bad: the reasoning. They literally weaselled out of ruling on actual data and the implications of collecting it, instead ruling on the fact that TO collect the data, the tracker must be placed on your or your property, which would be trespassing. This makes the ruling useless precedent-wise, and gives the government a simple hurdle to jump over - find a way to attach tracker to person/device that the SCOTUS would not find to be a trespass. This is similar to the earlier case (which they ruled the same on for the same treason) UNITED STATES v. JONES ( http://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/11pdf/10-1259.pdf )

I really wish they'd collect their balls, and actually rule on the real issue at hand. They even mention in the USA v Jones case that they realize that they will eventually have to. See page 32. They clearly understand what is at hand and why it is important. Just do it already!
In Python, though, there seem to be competing managers (easy_install and pip) and separate ways to package libraries for uploading. I’m also hearing names like setuptools, distutils, distribute and virtualenv, and I have to say that the whole ecosystem isn’t too clear to me yet. And the documentation tends to assume I know what all the above mean already!

This also bugged me the last time I wrote any Python code. I decided the sensible response was to go write Scala code until the situation resolved itself. Has it?

(I hope Python never acquires the problem C has, where its users are scattered so far and wide that every halfway valid tool attracts enough satisfied users to sustain itself, preventing the community from being coherent enough to advance in any direction at all. Guido needs to be a Ghengis who keeps all the tribes pulled together and galloping in the same direction, not scattering into disconnected groups.)
> Broad generalizations are always false

Are you reminding yourself of that issue?

> but matz has specifically said Lisp influenced him, as well.

He might have said that, but I don't see it. Then again, considering what he did to Smalltalk it might be very, very well hidden. And in a pretty sad shape.

> You're speaking of Lisp's _features_, I'm talking about Lisp's _ideas_

They're in the same state.

> It may not have 'Lisp macros,' but it does embrace metaprogramming, for example.

Lisp metaprogramming is macro-based, unless you're getting into CLOS.

Smalltalk's metaprogramming is based on metaclasses and "unhandled message" forwarding.

Guess which one Ruby has?
Because congress is afraid that they will break out of prison and kill people.

The ones that are getting released probably don't want to come to the States anyway on account of lynch mobs.

On a side note, I was clearly mistaken and this includes the one we tried to get Slovenia to take. After the full-body scanners and COICA I'm getting a little on edge about my support of Obama.
I didnt grasp the point of two kinects in the room and have it display on the TV? Can anyone explain the point?

What I thought was hey with two kinects that cover my movement in say my bedroom I could motion or snap to turn lights on and off(or even dim lights) and other electrical appliances/entertainment from comfort of my recliner/couch/seat, etc. Maybe that's what he was going for here?
today it was confirmed that the US knows about everything, everywhere, in every corner of the world
I think Classbox is the better way to go, but this is an improvement. The performance hit is currently very significant, but I suspect it can be optimised to a negligible level.

As with the .append_features hack, I think it is only good that refinement in no way implies inclusion. It will probably be better to keep the two types of modules explicitly separate.
As far as I can tell, primarily because of right-wing hysteria about what the terrorist mischief they would notionally perpetrate if set up for a quiet life in Podunk, USA.
If it can't launch fighter jets, then what is the sloped ramp used for?
That's true, but the modifier character* (not more than one) is consistent: & says "take the named method, call to_proc on it, and pass it in as a block". Since many methods allow blocks to be passed to them, this kind of code is useful and well-understood, I think.

I want to note that the &:even? idiom is only used in the simplest cases.
How about none. Just use words plainly and skip cuteness.
> The plan was diabolic

As far as wars go I would say that a scattershot plan designed to cause forest fires in order to distract the enemy is about one of the most benign things they could have come up with given the technology at their disposal. Interesting as the bomb itself is, the article seems to be unnecessarily polemic.
>As a counterpoint: I also have ADHD and went out on my own. Without oversight and managing I performed absolutely terribly. The company I started produced nothing and I ended up worse off after the experience.

Same. Was absolutely not for me. Some ADHDers go this route successfully, and especially if you can hire an assistant to handle some of the tasks that require more executive function, but there's plenty of us for whom it will just be a disaster. I think it's important for anyone thinking of going this route to give it a try and find if they're one of the ones who it does suit, but have a clear criteria that will allow you to evaluate how it's going for you and trigger an exit in a timely fashion if need be.
Kroger and Home Depot

Yep, Kroger and Home Depot are the biggest stores I've been to recently that don't take tap-to-pay, but there are some other national chains.

Also recently: my neighborhood florist, doughnut shop, parking garage, and hamburger stand don't take tap-to-pay. I've never been to a gas pump that does, though they all have the logo for it on the front. Every time I've inquired, the people inside say it's not enabled.

Record stores are about 50%. The one I went to most recently, I had to show them how to do it.

But interestingly, my shoeshine guy does take tap-to-pay.

I always keep at least one backup card and some cash in my wallet. I recently had to make an emergency trip to the Walgreens at 5am, and its credit card/tap system was down. It was cash-only for about a week. Glad I had cash backup so my family member's health wasn't held hostage by a technology glitch.
I can see that happening, although for some reason it hardly ever does with my usual guess strategies. I've only had one word result in a few candidates. The fact that it happened immediately and almost unavoidably in the nerdle made me think this really wasn't for me.
Yep, I spared the details regarding nausea but the contents of my stomach were definitely emptied once or twice. As far as I remember it wasn't anything special and the additional side effects and risk you describe make it just not worth it in my opinion.
Wordle is one word per day, it's fun, but I fail to see how it could be an obsession.

This is exactly right. I could also get a PhD degree in math myself (I dropped out after obtaining Master during which I obtained novel results in algebraic geometry), but after meeting and interacting with actually smart people, it became clear to me that I’m just not nearly on the same level. Research level mathematics requires completely another level of sheer brainpower that most people don’t even imagine exists.
>> 100% pure, total propaganda with nothing objective at all, certainly not peer-review.

You clearly know nothing about the IPCC. Yet you feel compelled to write long comments on the subject.

I supervise people who contribute to the IPCC, and they work their asses off to get data together so that their work has been peer reviewed and published in time for the IPCC AR5 report.

Because if it's not peer reviewed by a given deadline, it's not even discussed during the IPCC writing period. And if it has not been published by the time the IPCC AR5 is finished, it and the statements it supports are removed from the IPCC report.

See http://www.ipcc.ch/activities/activities.shtml :

"In order to be reflected in the AR5, literature must be accepted for publication before the final draft is finalized. Any reference that does not fulfill these criteria was removed from the draft contribution together with the statement(s) that it supports."
I really value long term quality of my code and I highly value simplicity and pretty looking code. In these regards Scheme is a much better choice.

There may be some libs that are in CL but not Scheme, but I actually have found nearly everything in Scheme that is in CL. Although some common real world problems are better addressed in CL related documentation.

...And you really only need emacs (or Vim, etc) and CL, Scheme, whatever installed. Setting up SLIME and all that isn't necessary to get started.
Plone is the brst one so far in the ux department. But I don't see how it could be used for a bigger custom site, with e,g a editable JS-slider.
That's because those are the people most likely to apply to another job! The people I know getting the big packages aren't waiting to be "noticed." That's not likely to happen since they weren't recognized where they were. They took a proactive approach and shopped around for a new job.

Only then were their contributions recognized internally and the big offers were required to keep them as they were already pissed off.

Trust me, it's not the fast track people who are getting the giant paydays right now. Those people are sitting pretty and already have substantial awards and wouldn't bother interviewing elsewhere.
The more remote the area, the more expensive supplies will be. Land might be cheap, and communications networks may be available, but you'll have to pay the extra for shipping things like food in.
If you have the cash to buy a place, then all you need is utilities and property taxes, which are comparitively low.

There are some people whose savings draw enough bank interest to cover such things.
Thank you. Plone is the brst one so far in the ux department. But I don't see how it could be used for a bigger custom site, with e,g a editable JS-slider.

Well, sure, but a lot more happened in the preceding 10-15 years. Blink still has more in common with WebCore than it does with, say, Gecko, Trident or Presto.

Very good point, and I didn't know that bit of slander against her.
The problem with concrete and structural steel is that they don't scale downward well. For a single family home, or even a small commercial building, they are much more expensive than masonry or wood frame construction.

Tangentially related, this was a good article in the Atlantic about a guy who makes his living opening safes:

Yes, totally.

But the driver for this is arguably the ban. From what I've heard, people weren't using much mammoth ivory before the ban. However, permafrost thawing due to climate change has certainly made it easier to dig up.

It is sad, though, that the availability of mammoth ivory complicates enforcement of the ivory ban. Ideally, it could reduce demand for elephant etc ivory.

I'm sure that C-14 dating would work, but it's still expensive.
Speculating, but:

- Most cargo planes are cargo versions of a plane that has a passenger plane design variant. So it probably wouldn't make sense to do a completely different design.

- I imagine that many goods that are shipped by plane have not been tested to be unaffected by significant time at 30K-40K feet air pressures. So now you're introducing an additional shipping restriction for high-value goods that isn't actually necessary.
To me the cheezburger network is like the paparazzi of internet culture. Chasing down memes and raping them in front of thousands of viewers to provide a flash of cynical entertainment before moving on.
The mechanics have been adequately explained already so no need to go into that again. One thing that should be pointed out (and this is no indictment of shorting; I do it on occasion) is that since a stock can only go down to $0, there is limited profit. It can theoretically go up without bound, so there is a risk of losing without bound too. Practically, these risks are limited, but also practically, the maximum profit is also.
Hey, quit with the trolling. Unless that comment is serious, in which case there's no helping you :p

Very interesting idea. A little scary that the implementation is writing web scrapers in Javascript (which are prone to breaking), but interesting none-the-less.
While I agree completely with what you are saying the one thing we don't know about is long term effects. When I say long term I mean drinking several litres a week consistently from age 15-60.

As I am falling into that category (so far drinking diet soda regularly from 16-32 with no noticeable side effects) I do wonder what, if any, problems may come about in later life due to aspartame intake.

I sigh a bit with relief when I read these articles debunking the claims of how bad this stuff is for you. But the doubt still nags at me that there is something not right about taking in so much of this stuff. But then I have the same doubts about too much sugar intake.
That sounds like caffeine to me!
No doubt. Perhaps the wrong choice of word, but what I meant is that Apple wasn't pushing higher-res displays, despite advancements in display technology, until their competition did. They were content to let the iPhone stay at a relatively low resolution until it became a point that they had to compete on.
Excellent tip, carbonated water with a little flavouring may be a nice alternative.
To be fair though, it doesn't seem as if Ebert is panning this on ideology. He's clearly not a fan of Ayn Rand, but he seems to dislike the actual movie more than its message.
What is the worst case scenario? Your startup fails and you get a job again? If the worst case scenario is that you're back where you are right now, then it's not a big leap to make.
A camera is significantly easier to handle than a laptop, when filming anything other than the seated user position in front of the laptop.
I would. I may even go as far as to say it makes then worse. Deleting my facebook account was probably one of the biggest improvements I've made to my life so far this year.
Sure...I guess when I hear "time bomb" I think of something that wipes source code or data. Something that alters the bits and bytes. That's the thing that will cause you a world of hurt. What you're talking about is of course totally legit.
