Given your excellence in school, your commitment to physical fitness, and your desire for higher education, that confession strikes me as a bit out of context. I mean, why would a guy who’s so passionate and deliberate about everything else in his life invest his time doing something for which he has so little enthusiasm?

Damn, can't you do anything just for fun anymore? Enthusiasm for an activity has to manifest itself as enthusiasm for earning the highest possible certification?

My advice? Quit Scouting today. Or, quit pretending not to care. Because the short answer to your question goes like this – You can be plenty successful without becoming an Eagle. But you’ll never get anywhere by doing things half-way.

People do all kinds of things halfway. It's inevitable. You're going to cook halfway, dress halfway, play sports halfway, appreciate movies and art and books halfway, train your pets halfway, and blog halfway. Sure, you can pick one or two of those and do them in a fully-assed way, but what about the rest? Are you just going to give them up?

Or are you going to hide behind the fact that nobody has instituted a system of ranking and achievements? Well, did you know you can be tested and certified on your ability to taste wine? Better stop drinking wine! Better not teach your dog to sit unless you're committed to earning the highest AKC obedience titles. Not only would you be half-assed, you'd have a half-assed dog, too. (My question: can you keep the dog as long as you don't train it, or does just having a non-obedience-certified dog make you half-assed?) American tennis players, did you know that the US Tennis Association sorts amateurs into numbered levels? Better stop playing tennis unless you're committed to maxing out! So you like to go hiking on weekends? Uh oh, there's adventure racing and orienteering... you'd better go indoors. You're doing the outdoors half-assed.

Well, maybe he'd agree with me on that one.
I did not. Nor do I think they are. You can put me down for thinking that if say a 40-year old man wants to engage in sex with say a 14-year old male that yes there is definitely homosexuality involved. Is pedophilia also involved? Depends on the ages and which definition used.

Regardless it was a joke but one based on factual events widely reported. I knew I risked a little karma loss for saying something potentially un-PC but sometimes I don't care. Good to widen minds sometimes. :P
And giving you information on them if you're not a registered developer would involve whoever is doing it breaking a NDA.
As someone who's been through this many times, here's a tip:

Any time someone emails you about acquiring you, hiring you, sponsoring you, etc, just assume the actual odds of it happening are about 1%, and be happily surprised if something eventually comes of it.

If they really, really want you, they'll be hitting you up every chance they get.
Thank you all for the replies! :)
The technology is fantastic, love how good the videos come out. Really looking forward to what Instagram does with it. Congrats to the brothers.
Linux is a rather different deal than Wikipedia. When you see Linus running fundraisers for 3-4 months until ten or twenty million dollars is donated, then I will probably think that Linus and Linux need to become more self-sufficient.

The content and the hosting can be separated, as they are with Linux and many other open-source projects; Linus controls Linux, but that doesn't necessarily mean that he also controls kernel.org or any of the other places where it may appear. The authors of projects on Google Code control their projects even though Google provides the hosting -- individuals can still create content without centralized authority. If Wikipedia performed more experiments in this space, they may not need $20 million every year to continue operation.

That's a pretty hefty investment for something that doesn't make any money. Even non-profit or public endeavors are expected to operate in a generally self-sustaining way so that they don't become a burden and so that reasonable control isn't taken away from the endeavor's controllers.

Wikipedia could be developed independently of the Wikimedia Foundation. I don't think Wales et al have done a really spectacular job running things as it stands anyway.

The content is produced by the community. This fundraiser is not to pay people to produce content, but to pay for hosting and other costs associated with running a live instance of the Wikipedia content.
It is something we're definitely concerned about: https://www.datadoghq.com/blog/engineering/secure-publicatio...

The linked code doesn't show the full value of this technique, since its straightforward HTML that's coming out.

Now what happens if you want a collection of list items generated by looping over an array?

Assign classes based on some logical conditional?

Conditional rendering?

These are problems everybody has and every template language tries to solve with their own custom syntax.

The point of this method is that rather than create some half-assed template language, you just write Javascript code that acts on and generates a data structure that can then be converted into HTML.
The NTU distributions appear somewhat oddly presented in those tables, and odd portrayals of data make me curious. Odd displays can indicate the existence of information that a presenter intentionally wishes to avoid highlighting, or information that the presenter simply does not recognize is present, and that information can be as interesting as what a presenter does choose to highlight.

Based on the Slate data referenced elsewhere in the comments here, there looks to be around 84% of the aggregate income for the top 20% of the earners.

Then interpolating the data buckets shown within the NTU tables and particularly guessing that the 20% range is around 80% of the taxes paid, and matching that with the Slate income charts.

This implies that the folks with 80% of the income pay somewhere roughly around 80% of the taxes. Give or take.

I'd be interested in seeing a NTU-like breakdown matched with what data Slate has shown for relative incomes; matched with what looks to be the income and with slicing the income based on the different AGIs.
You can also use a protected non-virtual destructor in the base class to avoid to mess up the destruction sequence. But what he says is indeed the most common case.
The more pernicious problem is when they don't come back at all, having deadlocked.
Hi, I am the creator of Glyph, thanks for the mention :-)

Glyph can be used in many different ways, either on its own (it can be effectly used as an alternative HTML syntax) or in conjunction with existing lightweight markups like Textile and Markdown.

When I originally thought about creating a document authoring framework, all I wanted was to extend Textile so that it could handle section. Soon afterwards, I realized I wanted more than that. I wanted the ability to reuse content through snippets and even the possibility of creating my own macros easily, so I ended up creating a new language.

How heavily you use glyph is entirely up to you. If you like Textile and Markdown, you can just use some of the core macros and sections. For example:

md_section[
@title[Test Section #1]
This is basically a titled div where you can use _markdown_.
]
txt_section[
@title[Test Section #2]
Here, instead, you can use *Textile*.
]

In this way yes, Markdown and Textile are second-class citizens, but this is a good thing, in a way. Glyph is markup-independent so you can use them both, if you like, and even create additional filters if you want.

Regarding the syntax, I wanted something very basic (and easy to parse :P) but usable. Sometimes it may get a bit heavy, but on the other hand you can create macros for complex formatting, i.e. custom tables.

At any rate, if you have any ideas on how to improve Glyph PLEASE do contact me! I'm always looking for constructive feedback!

> Then what does the "java" command do exactly, if not run Java applications in some kind of runtime environment?

if you're using a normal desktop OS there's no system-wide "java" command (anymore (thankfully))

It's just a new iteration of the eternal software cycle :

10: "apps are shipped together with all their libraries / dependencies ! space is wasted / all apps must be upgraded when there is a security issue instead of one single dll ! let's share the runtime/DLLs/whatever which will solve all our issues !"

20: "oh no ! all apps are now dependent on a single runtime/DLL which {does not updates as fast as upstream | must be installed manually by the user who is clueless and will use the competition's software which JustWorks™ instead | causes DLL hell | must be patched to work with my software in a way that would break other software using the same runtime }, let's switch to static linking / bundling everything !"

GOTO 10
That's kind of why I want the vaccine early, because there are a lot of underground things that are happening anyway that I'm avoiding. When I could be socially and having fun.

I don't think just swapping priority from elderly to prime age is a solution. As elderly will still be the ones bogging down emergency services, making relatively benign injuries a huge massive problem for everyone else. When returning to the normal distribution of emergencies after opening everything up, this is still a disaster for the hospitals.

"In Mexico City, some young people take part in psychedelic rituals, as they believe it helps them spiritually and to ease daily stresses.

Arturo, a 'shaman', hosts ceremonies in the city's urban mesh, where participants can get an intimately guided dose of Bufo Alvarius, also known as the Sonoran Desert toad.

The toad contains the psychoactive alkaloid 5-MeO-DMT and is regarded as the 'God molecule'".
Occupy Wall Street was hardly not covered. If anything, it probably got a disproportionate amount of coverage given the small numbers of people and the lack of coherent demands.
It's like saying we're going to suffocate right now because all the oxygen molecules will run away a mile away. Possible, but too little of probability.
I agree but inevitably you get team members who want to "reduce complexity" by removing similar datatypes. One man's clean adapter is another's DRY violation.
Easy, using system compilers and home mounted as noexec, quite common in corporate UNIX deployments with IT managed development servers that the devs connect from their workstations.
I would not be overly surprised to find in a month that Twitter is developing something similar to Redis. They do seem to roll their own technology quite a bit. Is it NIH or do they really have that many unique problems (e.g. scale) to solve?

On point, there's Retwis by antirez, which models Twitter to some extent using Redis as a backend.

>Smarter how?

I've really learned what people mean when they say that the mind is a muscle. You know when you first start working out, you can't lift that much and everything hurts, but after, say, two years you've built up some muscle and maybe you can bench your bodyweight? Well, it was a bit like that. Stanford was a very challenging environment for me at first. I feel like I get things more quickly, have more ideas, and think faster in general now than I did two years ago...to a greater degree than I could reasonably expect just from aging two years.

>how are you more comfortable with theory

I did my undergrad at Georgetown...fine school, and not totally devoid of theory classes, but the philosophy there is that you learn by implementing (which I did). But I never did a CS problem set in four years there. I could still understand theory and reproduce it on exams etc, but if you asked me to read an academic paper it would have been pretty painful. That's no longer the case, despite the fact that I've only read 1-2 papers here. If you want something more concrete - I took 224M and 225B my first quarter, and they were waaay harder for me then that taking a similar class would be now (especially 224M - http://cs224m.stanford.edu).

>what does that comfort do for you?

Hmmm, good question. I don't know if there's any direct, tangible benefit that I can point to.

>What type of role in society/IT would you say the education prepared you for?

Just about anything. I'm CTO of a NY startup, and will finally be full time on it once I graduate, but I could have gone on to be a PM or dev at pretty much any company of my choice, or gone to Wall St, or just about anything else you can think of. Oh, that reminds me of another benefit of being here...you'll regularly get Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Amazon, etc. emailing you and asking you to interview. Plus, Stanford is ridiculous for credibility...if you play the S-card, as some call it, people are often more conducive to your requests. That can even just mean sending an email from your @cs.stanford.edu address instead of GMail. Not sure how that is at other schools but it's a nice change from Gtown, whose CS dept is so small most people never think of it.

In my opinion, this is an opportunistic money grab by the Turkish government (legitimate or not, I can't say). Turkey has historically had a serious problem collecting taxes and has been trying to clamp down recently. This is based on my own anecdotal evidence as a first-generation Turk living in the US - I wish I could provide statistics, but a quick search did not bring anything up for me.

There is a large 'informal' economy consisting of shopkeepers, street vendors and other small businesses that are not registered and avoid paying taxes completely. In the last few years, Turkey has been trying to cut down on this by requiring all businesses (including street vendors) to produce a receipt that shows they charged tax. They regularly send 'undercover' government officials to make purchases from these vendors to test if the business offers a receipt and give heavy fines if they do not.

One time, after I tried to purchase a bottle of water and declined a receipt, the shopkeeper grabbed my arm, shoved the receipt into my palm, and demanded I take it. After that, I got into a conversation with him about taxes (he said less than 10% of citizens pay, although that seems low) and, when I described the IRS and how it was a crime in the US not to pay taxes, he was shocked and wished Turkey had a similar system. He laughed out loud when I said you could go to jail for not paying taxes.
I have a lot of respect for Gabriel too, but that's different from saying that DDG is the answer to all your search needs.

Interesting. Good luck to them.

If there are any QZ fans, can you recommend any great articles by them in the past year or two? It feels like a missed opportunity on this promo page here. I get what they're trying to do, and they soft-sell you into "joining their mission" but it assumes a level of familiarity with QZ. If their page gets shared (like here) because of the meta-story about dropping the paywall, it would behoove them to list a few of their top stories to try to attract new readers.
dang, what can I say, you seem to have missed my point. You're criticizing the way people have responded to pg's post. While that may be valid, you fail to criticize pg's 'quality' of writing, which can also be considered inflammatory. How about a little balance here?
What if it was $900 per month?

That's quite a different beast.
Edit: Michael Franz's research would seem to disagree, and I believe Mike Pall (of LuaJIT) would also disagree.

As I remember, the Dis bytecode used 64-bit instructions, with a 16 bit opcode, a 16-bit address and a 32-bit address. I've heard it described as a memory machine, and also as a machine with 65,536 registers.

In any case, it's easier and more efficient to perform register allocation from an intermediate language with a huge number of registers down to a small number of physical registers than it is to assign slot locations to registers. See Michael Franz's SafeTSA [1] project for an example of modifying a JVM to be able to mix and match both Java bytecode and an SSA-based bytecode in the same process. Granted SSA has some additional properties besides an infinite register set that make code generation nice. However, they found that it took less time to generate native code from SafeTSA and that the generated native code ran faster, even though the JIT backend was identical for the two bytecode formats. The disadvantage of SSA and memory machine bytecodes is they are more complicated to efficiently interpret if you're not generating native code from them.

I have my doubts about the technical competency within the presidential administration(healthcare.gov for example). Such huge attacks would not take place if we had any effective retaliation and protection capacity.

My wife and I have gone back to emailing each other (from our phones) because we have periodic issues with massively delayed text messages (e.g. ~7PM "ETA?", reply "30 minutes", delivery of that reply ~1:30AM). Some of that's likely due to flakiness of her (old, but has a keyboard!) phone, but regardless of that email moves right through.
Right. The system is designed so you'll finally save enough to "win at money" about the time you're too old to work effectively anymore.

What kills me is seeing friends whose jobs involve hard physical labor. They can't save enough to win at money before their bodies start giving out from the abuse. In better economies with unions and cultural support, they just sort of loaf away their less productive, later years. In America, they get laid off and can't work anymore.

Caleb, you beat me to it. Have my upvote.
I still really believe that the big cable companies would be so much better if their internal systems weren't so broken. The problem is that They bought up so many small companies and have never completely integrated their processes and data into their main system.

I had very similar experiences with Time Warner depending on who I talked I would get different results. It seemed like the main corporate office was not able to see notes that the local office entered and vice versa.
I think the best practice is to use the following backup scheme:

- 1st line: your computer's HD.
- 2nd line: your SOHO NAS (very cheap these days, I have a 2 + 2 (mirror) TB NAS)
- 3rd line: remote backup

The sensitive info should be encrypted at your computer, possibly with an encryption software that is easy to use everywhere (e.g. GPG).

I can't think of any real-life scenario where these 3 copies get destroyed simultaneously.

Now the real problem here is upstream. In 3rd world countries like mine (Greece), we have an avg upstream of less than 100 kb/s. So if my pictures/video/pc/whatever backup is > 50 GB, uploading it anywhere is a pain.
If you (like me) would rather like to play the video with VLC, I have had success with these URIs:

Investors should steer clear of this, leave this for the speculators who have money to throw away. You're investing in an instrument that is leveraged against a company who's financial details are not public knowledge. This is a very dangerous situation as you're unable to make an objective assessment of the underlying value.
I'm at a startup (that I otherwise like) where the CEO refuses to disclose the total number of outstanding shares. You can bet that I compute the expectation value of my options to be exactly zero.

I'll say. There is a lot of work in this, and $10k is not going to attract many professionals. They're obviously out for the talented hobbyist or beginner.

Considering how much the RTA budget would be, it's almost insulting. Just having a policeman sit in a car by some roadworks (so-called 'specials') would cost them about $1000/shift.

The last time a new road project got opened near me the launch party would have cost nearly $10,000 by the time it was done.

The prize should be at least 50 or 100,000. It would be a tiny spec in the budget but that would motivate people to spend some real time on the problem.

I think if your app can be monetized while free, android is a terrific platform.
You wouldn't own their changes to it. I.e. they take what you gave them, build on it, and now they own it and not you. I imagine they are looking for a novel idea that they can own for $10k and then they will implement into Office "the Microsoft way" for about $500k+.
