I'm pretty sure that every kind of fascism was well-intentioned. Unfortunately, it's not the intention that counts.
Isn't it possible to require the "scarcer" or most off-priced resource to be the first resource to be acquired? Only then would you purchase the opposite, more common resource.

Is that feasible? (Pardon my ignorance if not...)
I'm one. And the guy who replied to you before I could has the right idea. There are also pyrotechnics hackers in general, too, many of which really get a kick out of almost any kind of projectile or explosive device. We're not all mouth-breathing rednecks. See also: Metalstorm.
> Austria-Hungry

Excuse my spelling-nazism, but I believe that should be Austria-Hungary.

Austria-Hungry would mean something completely different.
It also makes me wonder why OpenTable hasn't tried this already as an upsell to their existing restaurant clients, since I'm sure they still deal with walk-ins and are looking for something classier than a vibrating/talking drink coaster. The advantage to the restaurant there is that then it'd be already integrated into their table inventory tool.

OpenTable has the advantage too of already having lots of their customers' phone numbers on file, which opens the door to some interesting matching/analytics opportunities.

Restaurant A might want to know, for example, that many of the same customers who walk in to their restaurant make reservations at B & C instead -- perhaps A might want to make changes so that people plan ahead to eat there rather than just walk in.
There are a few books that will make you a better coder.

start with this
================
http://www.amazon.com/Practice-Programming-Brian-W-Kernighan...

Since you'll likely be in the web space read:

PHP cookbook
Oreilly's Definitive guide to javascript
O'Reilly Definitive guide to html & css
O'Reilly books on the LAMP stack ox XAMPP stack

PHP
=======
you can learn alot by reading the coding examples from the php manual

http://php.net/manual/en/index.php

just google search "php man <search term>"

MySql
========
Most of the time you'll only be doing simply query, so you don't have to worry too much about query languages. You can copy & paste mysql code

==============================

Learn JQuery or MooTools, so you can do some AJAX
=================================================

Download PHP Eclipse as your SDK
==========================================

Once you're down with those references play around with the Zend Framework

It's not hard at all. PHP is an easy coding language to learn. Though some employers want you to know ASP. B

I was in the same situation. I got laid off 6 months ago, and picked up PHP>HTML>CSS>JAVASCRIPT> reading Oreilly books (you can get them off bittorrent). I have don't have a tech background. My degree is in philosophy. I built my own website.

http://www.distractmefrom.com

===========================================

It just takes time, and ALOT of practice & coding error & learning from debugging.

There are enough crazies in the House to make it a remote possibility. That's enough to freak the market.
Sadly, I completely agree with this. From a wider public relations perspective beyond the realm of hackerdom calling it "darkmail" hands an easy propaganda win to the authoritarians.

Instead of dark scariness emphasise safety, security, protection, freedom, etc.
Maybe I'm cynical, but I'm really skeptical. What if this is just some poor image generation code and a few hundred minimum wage workers manually assembling the examples? Unless I can feed it arbitrary sentences we can never know.

Yeah, I also see a tough situation developing a few years down the road when Apple inevitably closes the platform even more and harms features of this project. Hopefully I am wrong.
It's good but not perfect. Dams require a reservoir, which takes land out of use and changes the flow dynamics of a river. It can interrupt wildlife patterns both up and downstream. It introduces some risks of dam failure, and decommissioning a dam requires careful management of built up sediment. Flooded organic matter anaerobically produces methane.

It also requires significant space and particular configurations (must be on a river, must be in a hilly or mountainous area, etc.) It also isn't necessarily scalable -- how many more dams can we build?

You can build a crane and blocks or drill a big hole in lots and lots of places.

So yes, pumped hydro is better than fossil fuels. But also it's not something we can consider to be the ultimate solution to the issue of storage. By all means, let's use it (and we do use it today), but not stop there.
This is good of course but it's an uphill battle - just reverse engineering the Apple GPU and making a decent driver for it in itself is going to be a huge problem. Look at nouveau - we still don't have any way to reclock NVidia GPUs. Getting good experience and good battery life with reverse engineered hardware is impossible.

Then there's going to be new gen hardware and firmware updates for existing ones to keep up with.
Overton window is pretty effective in some ways. Just look at how much of what is taken for granted nowadays as the moral high ground was considered grossly immoral and unthinkable just a generation ago, e.g. gay marriage. This was largely achieved intentionally through media and other forms of social programming. Seems like a win for the Overton window to me.
That's "starting wars" of course.
Automatic Speech Recognition: a Deep Learning Approach contains an excellent section about deep learning, as well as more content about ASR and hybrid deep learning methods.
Considering that Darren Aronofsky is adapting Margaret Atwood's 'MaddAddam’ book Trilogy as a HBO series, a Sprawl Trilogy could very well be a distant reality.
But you have a near-full plane of passengers perfectly willing to pay $200 to fly from LAX to SFO - you're throwing away profit from all of them if you cut their fare because I'm competing for a different set of customers.
It's pretty bad luck that his books suffered from so much adaptation decay. If only the same studios and directors that produced movies inspired by Philip Dick were also interested in Gibson (blade runner, total recall, minority report, just to name a few), there might have been some cinematographic masterpiece.
I think this relies on the arguably-faulty assumption that ticket prices are based on airlines' costs in delivering the service. Airlines' costs probably set the floor for ticket prices most (but not all) of the time, but don't have much to do with the typical prices. This obvious when you look at the cost of holiday travel: planes don't become twice as expensive to fly because it's Christmas.

What actual determines ticket price is mainly the supply and demand around trips between a pair of destinations (like with any other market). Lots of people want to move between DC and New York, and lots of them are business people who can afford to pay a lot, so the market can support a high price for this city pair. This isn't true of, say, DC and Yonkers. What's key, also, is that the layover cities (setting aside people doing the "hidden city" thing) are largely an implementation detail; if you're going from DC to Yonkers, you're comparing the flights that go through New York to flights that go through Philly directly on price (assuming about equal convenience), and you're going to pick the cheapest one. This means market forces are going to drive these prices to be similar, even if the DC->Philly market is radically different from the DC->NYC market. The consequence is weird, unintuitive situations where a flight to the intermediate city can be more expensive than one to the final destination, if market forces are such that the market can typically support a higher price for flights to that intermediate city than they can to the ultimate destination city. Hidden city travelers take advantage of the cost disparity between the markets -- it's a sort of arbitrage.
Only every iPhone and iPad out there.
> “Purchasing a ticket to a point beyond the actual destination and getting off the aircraft at the connecting point is unethical,” according to the letter by American, which isn’t party to the case. “It is tantamount to switching price tags to obtain a lower price on goods sold at department stores.”

What in the world? How is that comparison anywhere near remotely justifiable? Absolutely ridiculous.

> American Airlines Group Inc., in a letter to travel agents on its website, suggested it will have to raise fares if it keeps losing money from the practice.

Yes, please do. Price each ticket based on what it costs and a fair margin, not based on competitive meta-market games.

I can only assume that airlines are engaging in potentially unethical pricing themselves. For example, imagine if an airline delivers service from A->C and is low cost. A large competitor airline has no direct route, but flies A->B and B->C, and so offers A->B->C for the same price as the first airline. The route is actually below cost (or has a substantially smaller margin), but the airline offers it anyway to harm its competitor and to keep passengers within its brand. I don't know if I consider this unethical or not, but it's certainly no less ethical than customers taking advantage of hidden city routes for a lower price.
That's a great sentiment, the same that is behind conservation in general. Most people, however, don't enjoy being poor and western is the only culture with a proven track record of basic material prosperity.

Presumably shipping ads ( or 'sponsored content') off by default would leave them with a low adoption rate... this is the sort of feature that people don't really request in their browsers.

Fortunately, this probably doesn't do any extra tracking. Unfortunately, that means my distribution (Debian) probably isn't going to protect me from these sort of features now and in the future, as I don't think this breaks the DFSG.

I wish I didn't have to be on the lookout for user-hostile change from an org like mozilla, one of the few big tech companies that tries to fight for users. I too would much rather pay for firefox development than see more ads in my browser :/

Hey Jon! I've looked at Mux (mainly the careers page), and it's a great platform. It would be a great fit technologically, but I'm not sure that my business model (which is tentative admittedly) would cover infra costs for processing, hosting and consuming the amount of video I'm eventually expecting, as I'm running on a shoestring budget at the moment.

Plus, it's a good chance to for me to learn the ins and outs of video. It's not reflective of the quality of your platform, just a choice I've made early in the piece for curiosity's sake.
I would think that most people would understand a Twitter line such as “Algeria/programmer/he/FOSS activist”, which is how it is often phrased with the other things in such fields.

I don't disagree with your premise, I'm strongly against parents trying to game college admissions for their 13 year old. But getting into UVA is not easy at all. Especially out of state, the admit rate is like 15% - so while not as crazy as Harvard it's in line with a few of the Ivies.

IMO a lot of the admissions-centered thinking has propagated down the rankings further and further in recent years too. Anecdotally I've seen people over-scheduling their children for target schools in a tier below UVA. This attitude of course creates a terrible feedback cycle, as admissions gets more and more competitive. At some point I'd like to think the admit offices are sick of seeing so many prototypical candidates, but still you need to do something to stand out. Ideally the parent should advise the kid on this meta-info, without literally telling them what to pursue.
Got an offer from a dream company. But it was lowball take it or leave it quickly thing.

Can we still question things, genuinely ? I think the most harmful consequence in the long term will be how we will accept to follow orders without questioning it. I have read different articles saying that no measures have been proven efficient against COVID. I think that many countries will use the masks to make people feel safe and keep going to work. Asian countries have been testing and isolating, while western countries let people work even when they are sick, by using masks.
It's typical for the founder to hold 2-5 times as much equity as all employees combined. We can argue risk all day long. I claim this is a severe imbalance, and one day silicon valley workers will wake up to it and demand more for their services.

I don't actually endorse or participate in cannibalism, myself. I'm just pointing out it's the logical result of superstitious belief in Gods: Eucharist, Transubstantiation, etc.

https://www.nobeliefs.com/communion/communion.htm

>Conclusion: Even if you still stubbornly cling to the belief that the Eucharist represents only a symbol of eating flesh and drinking blood, that still makes you a cannibal, if only a symbolic cannibal. If you partake in communion as a metaphorical representation of eating Christ's body, then that still makes you a metaphorical cannibal. You simply have no easy out of this predicament as a symbolic cannibal sits as a subset of cannibalism.

What was the title of that PKD story?

>In a Philip K Dick story, a hallucinated Christ cannibalizes an astronaut. Interesting theology.

>The writer Philip K Dick wrote a short story (I can't remember the name - Warning spoilers below) where an Astronaut was trapped in a space accident and dying. As he was dying, he hallucinated Jesus Christ coming towards him. At first he was happy but then he was horrified as Christ began to tear chunks of his flesh out with his teeth! Then he died.
Before cars, there were horses. We humans are well aware of the fact that our physical ability is not our competitive edge.

"Peer groups are the dominant influence on a child’s personality and development, full stop."

That has interesting implications for the idea of getting everyone to go to college. Maybe a lot of the benefits of a college are the peer group, and if there's no selection of the peer group, the benefits will evaporate.
Because "middle of the road" isn't good enough. If we want to avoid disaster than the EU needs to cut emissions massively, and the US needs to cut even more.

How do you figure that?

Not that there wasn't plenty of ignorant hysteria. But there was also a lot of real mitigation work. A lot of stuff didn't break on 1/1/2000 because we fixed the bugs before then.

I have not asserted that fructose did not exist in the past, that it is simpler than glucose, or that it is more difficult to assimilate than glucose.

I do assert that the average modern human's diet contains much more fructose than his great-grandfather's. I do not believe this is debated anywhere, although I will accept evidence to the contrary.

I am not sure what you mean when you say that heavier people do not generally eat more. Base metabolic requirements increase with body mass; as such, if a heavier person does not eat more, he will cease to be a heavier person.

When I say "naturally" I'm talking about the way we, as humans, naturally interact with our environment. Sight may be the most important of our senses. We don't give orders to physical objects when we want to move them. I guess that's why we call files, well, "files".

Now, as others have pointed out, when it comes to specific operations involving redundant tasks, it's obviously easier to use CLI (`rename JPG jpg *.JPG`, etc.) (though in the case of mass renaming, it's less confusing to use Thunar's Rename right-click option).
Fwiw, a 1GB MD would be Hi-MD, a different media in the same form factor. I don't actually know if the Hi-MD players support NetMD transfer or use their own protocol, but I guess I can think of a way you could find out!
Learning about this app just made my day! As an owner of a Sony Alpha 1 mirrorless camera it'll be super useful. The A1 is one of the first cameras of its type to capture gyro metadata natively. While Sony ships some stabilization software for the A1, a quick look at it left me less than enthusiastic about the workflow of Sony's app and its rather limited capabilities.

While the drone demos are cool, the non-drone creative possibilities for amateur filmmakers will be equally impactful. Imagine being able to get perfect crane-style interior tracking shots just using a long pole. As great as they are, drones aren't allowed in a lot of environments due to noise, distraction, insurance, etc. Flying a four pound stabilized cinema rig usually requires a BIG hexacopter that is loud and, frankly, pretty scary to be close to. A lot of us low-to-no budget filmmakers (and students) rely on shooting in improvised locations because we don't have the budget to shut down a city street to get a shot.

I'm excited to try this on some handheld run-and-gun action footage. The Alpha 1 camera is amazingly small and light for the pro cinema level quality it delivers which is why it would be a shame to stick it in on a big stabilizing gimbal rig. Capturing gyro metadata natively is an inexpensive 'no-brainer' feature all 'serious' cameras should include.
It must have been terrible for you to be confused for those few seconds.
Depends on the language. In some, "one thousand two hundred" is about as simple as "thousand and twondred", while "twelve hundred" is "twoovertenhundred" and quite a mouthful.
I was looking at Servo some time ago for more general Rust GUI framework but then the event-system was still incomplete, iirc you couldn't use Rust code directly as handler for DOM events. What is the situation today?
Here's my take on PHP:

- It was the only way to throw together a webapp easily for a long time.

- It is actually pretty efficient for this purpose.

- Much later Python and Node became viable alternatives.

- As soon as they did, people started shifting to them, and today few people would start a new project in PHP.

So according to my (not very informed) understanding, the history of PHP supports my claim that inherent quality (relative tot he alternatives) is more important than network effects.

I'm doing web development for the last 4 years and programming for almost 2. My desktop and laptop have only OpenBSD as an OS.

What do I miss?.. apart from some more recent games (which is the reason I have a console), nothing[0]. ;)

As for hardware problems? Well, if you want to run some new (for you) OS without doing some homework (will it run? what problems are unresolved for X hardware? what hardware do I already own? will it cause problems?) you're out of luck even with Linux in some cases.

Hell, even my x41 single core laptop can play 1080p video files.
