You can do that in many forms. You can go to a (daytrading) firm who either actually buys exactly what you tell them, or they pool up the clients' positions in some way to decrease their transaction costs. FX market is extremely liquid and fully automatized, settlement is usually done in batches but retail clients do not need to worry about that. Obviously there are contracts behind this, but there's no need to write a new contract every single time.

There are other forms of FX trading. For example, you can go to 'betting' sites to bet on currency rate movements -- for example, in the UK this is usually better for retail clients than normal FX trading as the profits fall under betting profits and not trading profits, and the former are lower. (Ridiculous, I know.)
For those wondering why this has been posted, or climbed to the front page. The book has a chapter on the lost Beagle 2 probe that was recently found.

The slickest part of that demo is the continuous level-of-detail rendering. That's extremely helpful when scaling up to large maps.
The comment I was replying to (IIRC; seeing as how it's now-deleted) explicitly claimed they weren't just disagreeing with the stylistic choices in iOS, but were taking issue with specific broken sorts of things (yellow text on white backgrounds) and then asserted that Apple seemingly didn't even recognize these things as broken.

My question was how could that poster assert such a thing when Apple was indeed fixing exactly those sorts of things.

So, yes, I answered it myself, because it was rhetorical. But, no, it had nothing to do with whatever you seem to think it had to do with.
I am. Most likely I learned about it in passing in a history course and have since forgotten because it didn't make an impact at the time. I doubt I'll forget again.
>There are far more efficient ways to flag people that fit a certain profile. They should have checked all of his belongings and let him go, and not focused at all on his "attitude".

Did you miss the part where the machines gave him a positive for explosives?
I'm from the UK. Potty training generally happens at age 2 or 3. To achieve full dry night potty training is usually more like age 3. However, it's pretty common for kids to need a lot more time to go through the night dry.
Interestingly enough, Daikatana's 3 years development time is not considered out of the ordinary for AAA games these days.
When this video* was published, I thought the idea it tells was too obvious and well known, but time proved me wrong it seems. Please watch it.

Analyzing code and naming patterns is far harder than just writing and reading code.

Also it's kinda pointless. If you go up to an improvising musician and tell them how amazing the hemiola cadence they just used was, they'd probably tell you to chill out and enjoy the music.

"It is a visual representation of just how little we know about the structure of the primes"

Come on, really? It's an intriguing visualization, but the patterns (in so far as they are real, and not an artefact of the limited size of the spiral) can be explained with some high school math.
Just playing devil's advocate here: seeing interactive helps newspapers make money (via ads and biz directories). But I see Groupon preferring that newspapers get out of those lines of business altogether so they can direct more consumers and marketing dollars towards their sites.
That makes sense. Most of my traumatic memories have been of events that have literally lasted a few seconds, but I can see how the same effect could happen for a longer one.

Guess I should count myself lucky I don't have those!
Not necessarily. A homozygous recessive disorder often occurs without prior family history.

Two carriers have a child together, the child has the disorder, this is how they learn they are carriers.
That's you and that's fine but others prefer more solitary passtimes.
Reddit's leaking.
The pay is the same, so it's not the case here. It's just that the title is different.
Yes. In order to have a photo admitted you just have to lay the foundation via a witness.

To lay the foundation for admission for a photograph into evidence, ask questions such as these:

Q. Mr. Witness, I'm handing you a photograph that's been marked Exhibit 2 for identification. What is depicted in that photograph?

A. A stoplight at the intersection of 4th and Pine.

Q. Is that photograph a fair and accurate representation of the stoplight at 4th and Pine as it existed on the day of the collision?

A. Yes, it is.

At this point, you can move for admission of the photograph into evidence.

On cross examination the other side has the right to try to discredit the witness: “Aren’t you really blind, couldn’t this be a deepfake, “ etc. And, they have the right to put on an expert or other witness to testify that it’s fake or the wrong picture or whatever. In the end, it all goes to the jury and they get to make of it what they will.
I have issues on all the Macs I own too, it honestly seemed to work perfectly but about 3 years ago maybe they all became unreliable after some OS update, I want to say maybe High Sierra.

Both my 2015 and 2018 MBPs probably once every 2 days, sometimes multiple times in a single day will resume from sleep to a hard reboot and a kernel panic message or "Your computer restarted because of a problem" message.

My windows desktop workstation manages just fine, but maybe I won the hardware combination lottery.

Millenials do not have a choice between "elite social status" and "comfortable middle class". They have a choice between middle class and lower class. What you are calling elite is actually just middle class.

Millenials are at the bottom of a pyramid in a stagnating economy that doesn't offer the same choice that was offered to their parents. We are a depression generation. Programming is one of the few lower middle class career paths still available. Most new jobs in this new economy (that are available to millenials) are working class as part of the service economy.

Jobs that do provide a middle class living are either dissapearing as the boomers retire from them, or require a lot of competition to win.

The amount of money you need to live a middle class life is much harder to achieve in 2015 than it was 40 years ago in 1975.
Yeah, I guess this is why I didn't understand how they could use 64 bit numbers to begin with... I couldn't see how they were going to be able to generate them all without leaving huge gaps in the number-space. If you used 64bit ints you'd be unable to have one machine do the generating, so you'd have to have some sort of offset for the worker who generated the ID at the very least.

And once you've done that, why not just go all out and use UUIDs?
Debian testing + desktop enhancements (like the lcdfilter patched libcairo that I cannot live without) sounds pretty good to me.
Well, I don't know much, but I do know that memcache has a limit of 1MB per value. So that fact that he attributes this to be a problem with AppEngine tells me two things: 1. He doesnt read technical specs (forget the manual, just the basics of "what this library does"). 2. His complaint in this case is completely invalid and entirely his own fault. This leads me to believe (on an albeit small samples size) that the rest of his complaints are invalid. Here is someone who begins a project without understanding the tools available, and when he encounters their limits he then blames the hosting environment. I expect he will have a rude awakening.

I think what they're trying to say is that sites that specifically test just to garner clicks, as opposed to conversions & sales, could be deemed as being "spammy".

In the content world, would you rather sites have good content or good traffic? The trend seems to be that these two are not always correlated.
I wonder if this will turn out to be North Korea as well.
I've been using Privacy Badger for atleast 6 months now. I really like it. I've opened a ticket on github asking for a comparison.

I think ,,An attempt to get sympathy'' is partly true in this case. Writing about bias against women founders is a cool topic nowdays, that's usually upvoted, and that makes low-effort articles, like this one get onto the front page.

Compare it with a PG essay, where he goes over it many times to make sure that the writing is as good as he can get it.

Or compare it to a software project where a person worked on something for years before a Show HN.
Organizations that say that they let you donate to fund specific issues are fooling you, unless the amount you plan to donate is huge. The reason is that money is fungible. Let's say I need $200k to fund issue A, and $200k to fund issue B. You say that you want to support only issue B. Fine, I just put your money in the issue B bucket and move a corresponding amount of unrestricted funds into the issue A bucket. Unless almost everyone restricts their donations they can always do that. They can backfill any unrestricted money to fund any of their priorities that are, for some reason, less popular with donors.
Which is why we're all using Qwerty keyboards instead of Dvoraks...Switching costs are too high. This low-impact model in the title promises 120WPM (I'm assuming with time commitment to achieve mastery). But yeah, you won't be able to take a device like that everywhere. It makes me wonder if any WPM threshold is enough to convince people to make the switch from Qwerty.
Thanks for the guide to your interesting pets.

If they can put sentences together like that, I imagine Parakeets can probably talk to each other.

If not in the wild, then if they have been educated with humans I'd guess they'd talk to each other in the same human type manner.
People and companies always want a competitive advantage, often at the expense of the industry as a whole.

Why is it "bad" if patents are the reason things are held up, but "not bad" if it's a common trade secret or proprietary application? Didn't Google hold back the entire industry by not making their secret sauce for large scale management of IT infrastructure broadly available?

IMO, the patent problem is a scoping problem -- we allow patents that aren't appropriate. The concept of patents makes it possible to make large capital investments to actually invent things. We need that imo.
Or maybe, just maybe, he's right, and that you WILL want to hear the good news about his product. Customers write love letters to our support department all the time about OUR products.

You're making a classic logical mistake: Just because some men buy their wives flowers after they cheat, doesn't mean that if a man buys his wife flowers, he's cheated.

I also got the "Starting Strength" book. It's very thorough on the technique of all the basic lifts (squat, bench press, deadlift, overhead press, power clean).

It doesn't they very much about programming (i.e. how to and how much to increase the weights you lift), but you can get advise on these from other sources.
If SEOmoz wasn't good enough for the oatmeal then it's not good enough for me.
You know jhollingworth, nobody has put forward your analysis here or suggested (hushed voice - hypochondria - which could be related to what you describe). But, and please don't mod me down here, this person must a) be either _extremely_ unfortunate in not finding one competent person to perform a correct diagnosis in 18 years, b) have an extremely rare ailment or an ailment that is not so rare but is habitually not picked up on or c) mentally deluded in some way. I am not a medical expert, I completely sympathise and hope for a successful outcome.
The funny thing about America is that we actually got all of our civil liberties from English tradition. America and the UK share the tradition of the English common law, and a lot of the reforms the UK has seen (including the erosion of double jeopardy) would be unthinkable in America.

That said, there seem to be promising signs that the new Con/LibDem coalition is putting things in the right direction. It's encouraging that you folks threw out the Labour party, and it's more encouraging that you seemed to do it for many of the right reasons. (I feel comfortable saying things like that because I have a feeling many British people feel the same way about us and the Republicans.) Of course, it remains to be seen whether the new boss is really any better than the old boss.

I don't really mean to denigrate the UK. The UK's done things in recent years that are very worrying. They're probably par for the course for European countries, but given the traditions of civil liberties we share, a lot of us have higher expectations for the UK.
You are on to something here. A link that auto logs u out. Can we embed this link in a post on facebook, therefore auto logging people out just by visiting their wall? It would be the ultimate annoyance.
At most schools, the majority of your class will be pushing in one direction, and that's generally towards consulting, banking, bigCo rotation programs, etc. It's what they're explicitly selling--preparation and access to these types of positions. If you don't want that, you should think very carefully about spending that much time and money. If you want to be an entrepreneur, do everything you can to get into YC or any of the other incubators. As many have noted, it's a far better startup prep course.

I don't regret my MBA for a second. The best two years of my life. I intend on using my skills from my MBA throughout my life. Someday I want to run a large non-profit and the tools I developed at Tuck will be invaluable. The painful lesson of the last few years was that all of that education is near-worthless as a startup founder.
People buy e-ink devices for a special need, the market is small, so the price would be higher.
I wish Apple can produce a eink device. I bought an Onyx BOOX Nova 3. I bought it mainly for web browsing and ebooks. Surprisingly, taking note with it was quite pleasant. Although I love it and use it everyday, I really with there is a good quality device both on hardware and software level as Apple devices.
There is a service that rents out toys to kids on vacation. We've used it in the past and loved it.

Seems like you too need your "toys" :)
outch, I think I'll soon be ready to say bye bye to my own little todo application in command line. However, there are still some details that I will miss by switching to google calendar :(
There is zero evidence whatsoever that the military or intelligence agencies had anything to do with outing Manning, despite the fact that doing so is precisely their job, and that their failure to do so is the real scandal in this story.

Instead, there are a series of insinuations in Greenwald's post that despite the firsthand reporting in Wired and the web of motivations attributed to Lamo and Poulsen, there might also be the shadowy hand of military intelligence involved. Again my point: Greenwald is harming our understanding of what happened here.
To summarise my point there:

By constraining the use of PUT to 'full replacement' updates, you deny people a useful way to signal idempotence for other more general kinds of idempotent updates.
Any thoughts on how this will change as StackExchange grows?

From your earlier writings, it seems like you eventually want to grow beyond the techy Stack Overflow crowd.
Rust is so far from taking over c++, you could bury your head, my head, and everyone else's head in the sand and we'd still be waiting.
Don't want to take away from Tailwind, it's great.

That said, self-promotion disclaimer but if you like inline/utility CSS, and also like TypeScript/React/Emotion, we've got a "Tailwinds-ish" CSS-in-JS library that we've enjoyed so far:

Would love to have people try it out.
I don't get why there is no way to edit apps live through the operating system. Before I knew how programs work I didn't understand why I can't recode anything as user - change menus in Windows 3.1, change what they do, change logic of forms, etc. Today I know how this works and I'm even more convinced this would be good for everyone, exposing the actual logic behind all we see in apps (start with text, forms, links, buttons, etc.) would only be to everyone's benefit - would expose bugs, help people learn UIs in depth, suggest better functionalities and have swarms of users contribute to computers.

Same with gathering user feedback -- the fact that we have such ridiculously unusable basic UI elements on mobile especially (people tend to NOT find basic UI elelemtsn of apps for months, sometimes years - how the f* is that even possible) is just one consequence of the fact that even if say 1000 users intend to do something and fail, the authors of the app never learn about that. WE get clubhouse to listen to one more type of radio, but we never get "userhouse" to get instant stream of people's complaints about an app (and a special physical button ON THE smartphone itself to launch that "instant feedback to the app author"mode so it's part of the base aspect of being a user of a smartphone)...

sigh....
one can dream.
Yes, just that with regards to security I've seen to many burned by "it can't hurt" processes. With your suggestion, assuming perfect implementation, I personally can't see where it would help. Like, if attacker can run js in your site, they can just set the cookie as necessary before making requests (if the cookie does not exist already) since that is something they can already do. If the cookie exists (most likely scenario), the browser will send it with each request anyways so no added security there either.
It is all up to management discretion. I have known several cases where people's new stock grants were cut to zero in the hope that they'll just quit and save managers from going though the PIP/firing process.
> Because they aren't 100% tied to the corporations, the worst, lowest paying jobs gain leverage when negotiating.

They're just shackled to a government handout making them totally dependent on the government of the day's generosity or lack thereof.
Why hate for the game? The dude sounds like he's really good at what's he doing, and I think that the company that he leads will profit a lot from his skills. Would be a shame to keep a person like that in engineer position.
Rent some CH-47 Chinook heavy-lift helicopters from the US.
Have you ever tried keeping a web application running? It's hard. About as close as we've gotten to doing it well is the plain-old PHP and Apache httpd stack. I've written PHP apps that stay up for years as long as I pay the bill. I was never able to get anywhere close to that reliability from other web stacks. CouchApps aim to be simpler and more reliable, so that eventually end-users can deploy and perhaps even create them.

> It's very difficult to debunk completely this kind of "discoveries"

Sometimes true, but this one is easy. There are too many impossible claims packed into a single account. By itself, the claim that the boy can function without any source of light in a completely dark environment falsifies the account.

Also, in science, the default assumption is that it's false (null hypothesis) and the entire burden of evidence rests with the claimants to offer evidence.

> but a very big red flag is the lack of independent confirmation.

Not very important by itself. Any number of astrologers will independently confirm the accounts of other astrologers, and Bigfoot investigators back each other up all the time. And psychologists are famous for circling the wagons when confronted by skeptics.

> After reading that I am even more convinced that this is not legit.

Again, it's not up to the scientific skeptics to doubt and disprove. It's up to the claimants to offer evidence. The burden of evidence rests entirely with those making extraordinary claims.
You are certainly speculating quite a bit here, no?

Speculation is all there is at this point. All we know is that the Pats balls were under the NFL regs when measured at halftime and the Colts balls were not. We have no detailed information about the pre-game ball preparation steps for either team, no information about the Colts pressure preference (Belichick stated today that the Pats aim for a target pressure of 12.5 psi), etc.

And yes, the Colts could very well have overinflated their footballs, just as Aaron Rodgers claims to do with his game balls.
> I find it interesting in that it's a useful argument, but only at a communal level - if the entire community hates the direction of a project (e.g. OpenOffice), they can fork it and take it in a different direction.

You can take leadership of the community and lead by example: fork it yourself and start hacking, then try to get more people to join.
This is interesting in that I look at all the crap my kids have and was thinking the exact opposite. I had a handful of things. A few games. A few outfits. These kids have piles of stuff (alongside their laptops, smartphones, and consoles). We are always throwing out/donating stuff too.

Maybe they are just spoiled...
Oftentimes governments will place extra taxes on non-primary residences which discourage using houses as an investment vehicle. I'm not sure about the history of this, though.

Now while there has been some scientific study of LSD's biopharmacology there is an unfortunate tendency for researchers to sample the product and then become evangelists for the drug. Which tends to render their methodology suspect; Leary being only the most notorious example.
