> The fact that many restaurants don’t have menu items suitable for vegan means that vegan are indeed marginalized, even if you’re kind to you coworkers and try to compensate for it.

I disagree with this. A steakhouse is expected to serve steak, a Korean BBQ, korean bbq, and a those juice bars are expected to serve fruit smoothies etc.

I follow the keto diet, and we need to make sure any places we go have options for me too (a lot don't).
That doesn't mean I'm marginalized though.

The thing I do have a problem with (on behalf of vegans, even though I'm not one) is when a restaurant says they have "Vegan options" or are "Vegan Friendly", and then it's just a disgusting garden salad.
You know the median American makes $30k per year? Bottom 25% of Americans make under $18k per year.

These numbers are pretty similar in NYC as compared to the country as a whole, too.

Consider this could happen to any Bitcoin exchange, and now the US Government has 5 million of their dollars. I would think that would put them on the road to licensed and bonded in 50 states -- they were saying before it costs about 5 million to become licensed and bonded.

Also, Mt.Gox is not a US company. SEPA/Euro transfers are being processed in a "reasonable amount of time" -- I don't know exactly what that means. I am from the US and I am becoming verified this week, since my BFL Jalapenos have just shipped it seems much more important than only a week ago.
Why the heck would they only have 2GB Ram? I know they are trying to achieve that sweet < $500 price range but they could have just externalize the RAM modules than just soldering directly to the motherboard.

For a minute I thought they were getting rid of the Amazon Dash (https://fresh.amazon.com/dash/) and replacing it with the button. Looks like both products still exist.
Remember folks, this doesn't prevent the government from tracking you; It just means that if they try to use the evidence gained from tracking you in a court of law, you can pay a lawyer to get that evidence suppressed.

The CIA can still use tracking devices and so can the police in a state without good public defenders just as the NSA is free to go beyond the bounds of a FISA court warrant. Nobody checks them and the warrants' validity is never brought before an appellate court.

The Forbes 400 list isn't just company founders. It's founders, inheritors, and speculators. Do you have any reason for believing the mix of wealth sources changes as you go further down the list?

These books are better for self-directed reading compared to some of the classics like Rudin or Herstein. These should keep you busy for a while.
That is probably correct. The thing is, no amount of experience meeting a payroll helps you understand issues that are critically affected by the way things add up at a macro level. Businesses are open systems; the world economy is a closed system, with feedback effects that are crucial but play no role in ordinary business experience. In particular, an individual businessman, no matter how brilliant, never has to worry about the fact that total income equals total spending, so that if some people spend less, either someone else must spend more, or aggregate income must fall.

This is why we have a field called macroeconomics. Unfortunately, the hard-won insights of macroeconomics are being rejected right now in favor of visceral feelings. And we’ll all pay the price.
I store all of my bookmars in evernote. The chrome and firefox extensions are pretty solid, and make bookmarking very easy.

If it's a bot, I can see the value in it. It would be better as a built-in feature, but nevertheless it makes sense. I just hope that it doesn't inspire less useful accounts which would be more akin to Reddit's novelty accounts.
In a way, companies should be in it for the money. That might even have prevented this. Of course, money shouldn't be the only motivator, but in general, companies should aim to make money, very healthy.
I had no issue with you running it, I think the negative response were people reacting out of fear of letting "novelty" accounts get going with this as the beachhead where they had to make their stand.
..And to make matters more interesting, I'm getting downvoted for my observation. (Probably by the guy who is trying to promote his iphone app here)
> Chinese is really several completely different spoken languages (Mandarin, Shanghainese, Cantonese, etc.), all mutually unintelligible but sharing the same writing.

At least half the TV in mainland China has subtitles. If you can speak and read one Chinese language/dialect well, you can learn another by immersing yourself in TV with subtitles for a few months. I meet many people here who say, e.g. "they learnt Cantonese because they lived in Guangzhou for a year".
"Android and iPhone fans will read the preceding paragraph very differently. Android fans will read it and say, “Exactly — give us the hardware and let developers figure out what to do with it.” iPhone fans will read it and say, “I can’t wait to get an iPhone 4.”"

This quote sums up my issue with Gruber. Everything for him revolves around being a fan of a product (in his case Apple products). I just want great products. Might be iPhone today, Android tomorrow, and Windows Phone next year.
The idea is they'd be making iPhone -> iPhone and Evo -> Evo calls, not calls to each other.
Nah, he's just making sure Steve Jobs knows there are no hard feelings.
My experience has been that downloading + opening pdfs with a decent pdf viewer is much faster than google docs. I personally use evince, but probably anything other than acrobat would work.
"Give them brand new still-in-the-box iPhone 4’s and HTC Evos. Now ask them to make a video call to one another. With the iPhone 4, they’re going to be able to do it. "

How can the person with the iPhone make a video call to the person with the Evo, yet only one succeeds? Isn't it the case that for a call to be successfull, both parties need to be able to communicate?
Yes, definitely an issue. If RPX disappears, we'd be in a world of hurt. I'm willing to take that chance, but they've really got us in a vice.

I'm starting to feel like the only programmer who hasn't written his own language.

I'm actually starting to feel the itch, too. I see a lot of good in bad in different languages and think about combining all the good together, if possible.

Maybe I will, one day.
True. It makes me wonder how he tolerated all the earlier steps of academia only to find being a tenured professor drudgerous.

One hypothesis is that since there is so much competition to become a faculty member at Harvard, there is very little support b/c someone else will be ready to step in and take the job.
I'm not sure whether to make the haskell strongly-typed joke or the functional programming snob joke :)
No. Don't do it. You will completely undermine any chances of being acquired, the white-label will own you if they grow larger, and you will find yourself losing control of your code and product. Focus on building your brand, your product. Cut costs if you need to make that happen, any way you can.

If they want a white label, tell them "Only if WE run it, we'll code it, and you won't have access to the code or database schemas."

The other option is "buy us out and we'll run it for you internally."

Cheers.
These are sales numbers for one of the author's books (4 copies sold!), not sales numbers for Google Books as a whole. Still, an interesting point about Google's deeper selection than Amazon making Google the more natural virtual card catalog of books.
I think the argument goes that usually "walled garden" and "give a damn about the user" are inseparable. If that's true then Google did a disservice to users and it's showing as carriers exert more weight.

Now I'm not totally convinced that they are inseperable, moreover I'd say that even had Google done the "walled garden" method they'd still not have the clout and balls to fight the carriers like Apple did/does (who else could?). That all said, though, in the larger dialogue comparing the smartphone philosophies of Google and Apple where things like open and closed are used mostly as inaccurate rhetoric tools the empirical evidence that carriers add a bunch of often undesirable drift to most phones they carry is a huge punch to Android and it's easy to scramble to explain it away as an open/closed effect. Whatever that means.
Agreed. He loves Apple and entrepreneurship because I do and I always have. He will probably never be an employee of a company because he already wants to do his own thing.

He hires his brother and sister to do his chores for a fraction of what he wants to get paid for them. Pays them and pockets the rest. He saved and bought his own iPad in July and is now saving for a new AppleTV and Mac Mini. Apparently his MacBook Pro is not good enough..sigh

What other languages/frameworks have similar tools?

I wrote something like this for cgi-bin scripts in 1996.
Problem: you don't necessarily see everything happening in the
browser, especially someone else's, especially if they're remote (or
unknown), and the only evidence might be a a line in the error log.
"playback <script>" would create a wrapper script that saved all
environment/server variables and POST data to a file (for later
playback) and then call the original script. When run from the
command line or debugger, a file containing the selected playback
info would be "re-hydrated" into the proper settings, and then call
the original script, and it would run as it had previously on the
server.

There was a library to extend this to arbitrary data (within the
framework). The idiom was something like (after some initial setup):

if ( $PLAYBACK_MODE ) {
$result1 = get_playback_value('result1');
} else {
$result1 = normal_function_call();
save_playback_value('result1', $result1);
}

Which is pretty much portable to any language. If your language
supports it, maybe automagically wrap normal_function_call so the
caller doesn't have to--if you want this for every call.
Recording multiple values could be done by appending something to the
identifier (e.g. "result1:$i"). Generally, too much data collected in
tight loops (or every db request, etc.), but you could programmatically turn it on in certain
cases, only save after an assertion has failed, etc.

Playback use can be great for debugging, somewhere in between unit
tests and end-to-end testing, kind of like a mock for medium-level
complexity. Decouple data, events, etc. from the context in which
they occur ("the real world") for later examination in a more
controlled environment.

And that feature disparity includes security updates. If a library is updated with a security fix, you'll need to update everything that uses that library to get the fix, rather than just the shared dynamic library.
Faked timestamps have played a role in at least one high-profile case in the past: the forged evidence presented at the Turkish Ergenekon trials:

http://balyozdavasivegercekler.com/2012/10/04/dani-rodrik-di...

These featured files presented as dated 2003 even though internal evidence (including references to software and fonts) showed that they could only have been created much later.
Irrelevant to the question at hand. ISIS may or may not be a terrorist organization depending on how you define it, but arguing the "may not" side is not "defend[ing] ISIS."
Can't claim to know personally but a quick search turns up numerous results claiming that mice and rats are similar to humans in anatomy, genetics, internal processes, etc. I think they become even better candidates when you compare them to other possible test subjects, especially factoring in the cost/value. They are relatively cheap and easy to breed with almost no genetic variation (good for testing), accelerated lifespans, small, etc.

Folks: have y'all gotten the memo that they do security stuff at the airport? Seriously, they do that now. Deal. And if you want to change anything about this fact, the way to do it is not by going to the airport and doing this kind of thing. The way to do it is through political action and Congress. And heck, through better engineering.

> Sending out 300 resumés in a month is the wrong strategy, as it shows you don't care about the posting

That's not always true. It depends on what your skills are and what the position requires. More applications means more people looking at your resume. Getting past HR is basically a gamble anyway, and I can't begin to tell you how many times I never heard back on jobs I'm exactly qualified for, while getting excited responses from teams in wholly different areas of software development.

One of my principles used to be to only apply to jobs for which I was very qualified. Now, I could care less. Next time I'm seeking work, I'm going to spam the hell out of every position I'm even remotely qualified for. Why? Because I need a job, and I care less about stressing HR than I do about paying for food.
"I really wanted to add books on signal processing, RF, linear algebra, program trading, and compression, but I thought (a) it would sound self-aggrandizing and (b) there's no end to the domain-specific books I might inevitably end up adding."

You probably should add these anyway! I for one would find it useful.
I dunno, being able to pick who's diggs/submissions you follow in a personal stream seems really damned useful to me. That way people I know create great content I can follow their digg stream to see what they're doing without necessarily needing to follow their twitter or the like. If people use it the way it seems meant to be used could be awesome.

I think we are in violent agreement. My only point was that by turning him in, Lamo (who I am not sticking up for) may very well have saved his life, by disengaging the moron from an extremely hazardous situation that had him bridging a circuit between Julian Assange and the Department of Defense.
"... studies have shown that the historical failure rate for new businesses is 50% over five years ..."

I've always heard that the failure rate for new businesses was closer to 90%. (I don't have the sources to back that up, but neither does he.)
I certainly don't disagree with you that the spec hasn't changed (24x7 armed guards, several levels of physical access control, razor wire, etc. etc.).

The de-facto reality is that it's much easier to walk in an out of a SCIF in theater with all manner of stuff (portable media, entire systems, etc.) than it is back here. And if you are where I think you are, you know that most of the SCIF space over there are just converted palaces and bungalows (or tents) with boarded up windows or tents with a jury rigged razor wire setup on top of the concrete blast barriers or the back of a Trojan Spirit Hummer parked outside of your hooch. Some places are tighter than others. But I was in plenty of places in Baghdad where I didn't even have to dig my badge out of my pocket to get on their systems.

Don't even get me started on the OPSEC surrounding access to SIPR systems. "Yes, let's bring a wireless router back from the Hajji Mart and hook it into our SIPR drop so we can bring our BALs out next to the fake pond and smoke cigars while we put together targeting packages. That's a brilliant idea!" or my personal favorite, the terrabyte shared drive full of porn that made it's way around the FOBs so everybody could make a copy onto their WSSs. Yes, that's a great use of the RAID'd SCSI disk array in that big green box.

I'd bet far worse exfiltration has happened just with the DCGS-A techs replacing broken equipment and moving hard drives in and out of the SCIFs under the watchful eye of the 20 year old contract security guys too busy playing pocket tanks to bother with the paperwork.

The "guards" are your buddies you eat with in the DFAC. If you have the proper ID you could bring a Caddillac full of blow up hooker dolls in and out of the spaces without anybody batting an eye.

It's just "different" there because of the nature of the environment. CONUS, if it takes six weeks for somebody to fill out the forms so I can get a disk burned with a single email off of my JWICS account (that contains no classified information at all)...that's fine. In theater, you just bring in the disk and burn it off, or just stick it on a thumb drive, if the 6 is awake you might toss a notice their way that you are bringing something out -- but they'll most likely be doing something else. Most of the time you don't bother. Every once in a while you bring out a whole big pile of stuff and toss it in a vehicle and bring it out by the lakes or the river and burn it all while drinking near beer.

I'll admit, in places where we're really well established, like Germany or Korea, the situation is just like in CONUS. But it really is just different there. Every so often somebody will come down on a unit hard for lax security, but once they've left the FOB, the unit reverts back to watching movies off the shared drive and playing pocket tanks pretty quickly. There's just other, external pressures that people have to think about more there that people in established duty stations don't have to worry about, like a mortar coming into your hooch.
The same argument could be made for cars or airlines or hamburgers. Too much choice, I might chose wrong oh noes you could get locked into the wrong $10 service for a month.
I've never been an IC (they don't really have that role in my country) but this seems a bit strange. Why not have a video call to catch up?

It's their seminal language XD

As a non-native but long-term speaker of English, I understand "seminal" as in "their seminal work" as "groundbreaking" (and better to be avoided when referring to one's own work). But slips of the pen are inevitable, so no harm done.
I get your point. Its not that I completely ignored it. I did a lot of things proactively. But he doesn't seem to be interested at all. That's when I realized, I would rather focus on my own career.
Fascinating, thanks for the link.

What I don't understand is how the duration each changeset is shown is determined. I got to spend a while watching someone circle individual yurts in Mongolia, but some other places disappeared so quickly that the satellite tiles in the background hadn't even started to show up yet.
Partially been in that situation. Usually this is a sign that your Boss feels that your presence isn't wanted anymore and is doing his best to signal you that, without having to fire you.

You could confront him directly, ask him to come clear and/or you can start looking for alternatives. My opinion (I am hardly 30, so maybe think it over), is that he doesn't want to be direct with you , for whatever reasons.
