> , but on how hard it is to find people to do them when we need them.

This isn't even the case. Last season in my country fruits were rotting in the fields cause nobody was there to pick them up. Did farmers increase salaries in order to get more fruit pickers? No.

Here, I suspect the obvious in the anime industry, like in many entertainment sectors including VFX: salary fixing between studios to keep pays low.

> If there were 100 qualified surgeons for every patient needing an operation, and would stampede each other for a chance to work and get paid, we'd pay them $25/hour too.

Given how opaque the healthcare industry is when it comes to cost for non elective surgeries, I doubt costs would go down even if you multiplied the number of surgeons by 1000. Case points: there are loads of restaurants yet the hospital will steal bill a meal 20 times what it would cost in the nearby restaurant.
Kendo is quite stylized, but it does at least look like a fight of sorts. Olympic fencing looks more like a game of tag to my eyes.

Some people think that getting into the Olympics is the worst thing that ever happened to Judo. I am inclined to agree with them.
Yup, that's who I had in mind. He is a sort of patron saint of this cultural trend, I think
The industrial complexes, duopoly in political party fed by the industrial complexes, suffocating people extracting as much value for themselves as possible will need to change soon if the US is to recover. I believe Andrew Yang's core policies will this by supporting individuals adequately and strengthening the democratic process - primarily by breaking apart the duopoly.
Apple would be a hero for threatening _its own_ significant revenue streams with a pro-privacy decision, not someone else's.
Not the case, there are parts arriving in TX all the time. Downcomer being an example.

That said, what they are doing in Boca is clearly very impressive and its much more then just an integration facility.
It's not just them. Anyone who still has the wrong assumption that targeted advertising even works is in for a massive revelation.
What spin. "This will hurt small businesses in TV and Radio." Really!? That's the best argument they can come up with?

Well if you use a screen reader every day, like I do, it isn't a distraction. It's probably a distraction for you, because you don't use one.
You're right for prototype HW. For things that are "working" already it's usually not needed
what do (or don't) you like about our product?
Frankly, the entire concept. You're offering an interdependent relationship, in which the active partner (the user) is getting the least benefit. The text featured in the slideshow reveals this. Most telling of all "Tired of reading long articles full of text?" Your solution: is for me to read long articles full of text and then essentially copy and paste the bits i would usually commit to memory to your platform.
is our offering clear? (does anything confuse you?)
Yes. Although the layout of the site is poor.
what's your immediate reaction after viewing the site for 10 seconds?
I was irritated.

P.s. Why not incorporate the Kagan system too? It would be a great why to tick the social-gimmick-box.
A long time ago I published an XML file on my website for some ill-fated Google attempt at providing extensible search results. I took the file down some time later, but the Google crawler continued to hit the URL.

Amusingly, I asked around within the company to try to find who was responsible for the crawler repeatedly fetching the 404 but ultimately couldn't figure it out. (It seemed like the decommissioned service had maybe registered the URL with some still-running automated refetching service?) It eventually stopped on its own.
You could turn around and re-sell those items, suggesting buyers use Paypal :)
I'm excited to see this. I missed the prior 3 posts so ill start there.

The disclaimer regarding dialogue may have belonged at the top of the article. I was surprised to find it at the end.
To be clear, I don't think the term is imprecise. Efficiency is always (work out)/(work in). The numbers get wonky when we aren't fully accounting for the "work in". In the case of refrigeration, we have to account for the work it takes to compress the fluid and the resulting waste heat.
>It’s better to get paid $0 being in the right field for a bit than actually being paid in the wrong path.

I am going to make the guess that you either have a lot of money right now or have an amazing support system to help you because such options aren't available to everyone who is making sure their food budget is correct down to the penny.

I knew Europe had more call tolls, I guess I was just hopeful your customer service lines weren't as bad. (I edited my original comment to specify the US)
Idea: Stock bought/sold on Nov. 19th not subject to capital gains tax
You know, my wife and I have debated on purchasing one for the children to use as a gaming and educational system. The reason we have not done so is because of the lack of flash. With Disney, PBS kids and the rest in the rest of the children's game and educational sites firmly entrenched in flash games we find it hard to justify purchasing an iPad, as the kids will lose the ability to utilize those sites.
Sorry--I'm not trying to be condescending here, but, are you familiar with what exaggeration really means?
This was a great read. I've been in an academic slump of late, but I've just begun getting out (a bit late this semester, perhaps) and I can say he's absolutely right about doing smaller things that matter less, moving eventually into larger things.

I just got back from my first real exercise (five laps of the football-field track) in months, and now I'm feeling great. Hopefully things stay up :)
thank you so much. I'm trying to explore the possibility of addressing an industry-wide problem through starting an open-source foundation.

Do you know anyone who has gone through the effort of convincing the boss not just to leverage open-source, but start such a thing from scratch?
"Yes Monica, I have been doing this for 3 decades, having been an editor at The Voice, Housitonic Home and Connecticut Woman Magazine. I do know about copyright laws."
FTA "It's hard not to wonder if the issue could have anything to do with yesterday's announcement of a new messaging system on the site that would work using your Facebook username for an @facebook.com email address"

I don't like when blogs do that: the link between female accounts-only disabled and Facebook's new messaging system is pretty weak. The only reason they make the link is to have people read that other story about Facebook. TechCrunch does that all the time and I find that slightly annoying. It feels like the kid who brings up unrelated stories just to show he knows stuff.
This entire idea of pull syncing is based on the premise that Netflix works, so bandwidth must be almost unlimited. But video streaming is a special case, in that the content is specifically engineered with streaming in mind, unlikely to be randomly accessed (but amenable to the procedure if it is), and streamed from a central server. Other content types often require the entire thing to be read before the data is useful. Also, most people's Internet connections have pretty lousy upstream (mine at home is about 14 KB/s, and at work it's about 200 KB/s).
Seeing $object->method() made me shed a little tear in remembrance of the days I sweated bullets for PHP.
I concede that Cooks Source is a small local mag, not a publishing empire (like, say, Cooks Illustrated.) But I would counter that working "with small food-oriented businesses" is her mission, not her business. She accepts advertising for the magazine, and therefore it has become a business in the traditional sense.
Hi Riskish,

My team and I deal with high traffic portals on a daily basis (as a hosting business). I'll be happy to listen, understand, and share with you ways to scale. Feel free to get in touch.

You're right about them not being minified, but wrong about the need for 4 external stylesheets.

Look at their home page, for example. It uses just one stylesheet (v6core.css). That same file is also used on their blog, so my browser already has it cached. Perfect!

None of those stylesheets are less than 45K, so the savings they get from not needing to download them on every page outweighs the HTTP request hit they take by including them separately on more complex pages.
But what about Google's partners in the Open Handset Alliance? Most of them are definitely trying to compete head-on against the iPhone.
I couldn't deduce from the article that money changed hands, much less in a campaign-situation? I don't know exactly how the EPA is structured, but it seems unlikely that elected officials would have much clout at such a low level.
Yes, that was our mistake. Sendgrid did that automatically for analytics purposes, and I thought it was kind of lame once I found out after the fact.
All 1.5m? I didn't receive anything.

"axis"/"axes" are at the bottom of the Parameters table. Or, have you tried the wizard?
Dynamic and duck typing does help quite a bit there, but I think the default stance of prototypes rather than classes also makes a difference.

The way I write object-centric code in Lua feels very different from in Python, even though both languages are dynamically typed (and otherwise fairly similar). It probably has to do with conventions / what's "Pythonic". I haven't used Ruby enough to comment.
Just what exactly do you think programming _is_?
That's how gyms subsidize costs. January firsters are often make or break gyms. Mostly due to the fact that leases on those spaces are expensive and the insurance for them is a complete racket (all insurance is a racket, though).
Since the app is apparently written using backbone.js, the _.bindAll method would be a neater solution here (as I see one of the commenters on the post points out).
I upvoted this assuming you could sort by price-- the only reason anybody would use a gTLD is because it's cheaper, after all.
I'd argue we have a good but very inefficient (by-design) government. The US government is optimized to prevent tyranny, definitely not for efficiency. Departments operate on a 'use it or lose it' budgetary basis, there's very little mechanism to use funds efficiently.
Telegram obviously.

Best software product of the past decade.
there is nothing compelling in this experiment, for anyone who has prosumer-level understanding of photography

the lens was designed for a film format with much larger surface dimension. The lens' image circle is likewise large - much larger than the sensor in the camera this guy used.

The digital sensor will simply be overlayed with a cropped portion of the full image circle projected by this lens.

big deal!?
The transcript of the video:

”I know your pain. I know you’re hurt. We had an election that was stolen from us. It was a landslide election, and everyone knows it, especially the other side.
But you have to go home now. We have to have peace. We have to have law and order. We have to respect our great people in law and order. We don’t want anybody hurt. It’s a very tough period of time.
There’s never been a time like this where such a thing happened where they could take it away from all of us — from me, from you, from our country. This was a fraudulent election.
But we can’t play into the hands of these people. We have to have peace. So go home. We love you. You’re very special. You’ve seen what happens. You see the way others are treated — that are so bad and so evil. I know how you feel, but go home and go home in peace."

This is a Rorschach test for what you want it to be.
I agree!

You can even go back to the cable news era and see the same issues. It seems quaint but the Fox News effect and the Fox News bubbles were things that were already driving those forces.

The evidence suggests to me that our ideals on free speech do not take into account human wetware bandwidth when it’s being influenced by modern telecommunications and Internet enabled conversations.
Because Telegram doesn't gobble up all your metadata to sell to advertisers & malcontents. Who you talk to at what moment and from what location is equally as valuable as the content of your messages.
Think one of the key advantages Japanese (and other East Asian) companies have over the US/EU counterparts is that they have very strong national sentiments. You saw this with Nissan debacle. Same with a couple of Korean companies. All the more reasons to believe that the Chinese market is simply a mirage for Western companies.
Do they allege coordination or irregularities?
Couldn't you do this with any webcam and CV? I don't see how the depth component makes it any easier.
I'm a little bit confused about the number of arguments against the OP's post, here and especially on his own site.

As someone who's considering whether going w/GAE or custom, the points he makes are totally valid and applicable.
The full length stick works better for duels. Filming cool duels is pretty much what this thing screams to be used for. Of course to minimize damage, you could probably use something lighter than a solid wooden stick.
The reason kids pick up languages and concepts early in life is a result of evolution. It has nothing to do with self-awareness and disregard with social norms. It's the complete opposite. Survival of early humans depended on learning and communication. When we were hunter/gatherers cooperation and socialization meant survival. The faster you learned language and social skills (i.e. hunting or gathering) meant an increased chance of survival. The faster you learned, the more likely you were to survive. Language and socialization were key to early human survival and the more you excelled at it, the more you thrived. If you didn't, your more likely to be a victim of natural selection. Humans have an intrinsic nature to conform to what they perceive as "social norms". It's a genetic response.
The fact that _he_ believes it is important which shoulder he touches produces enough an effect that one can be fooled into thinking the touches have the power instead of the belief.

Wait, Truecrypt? Haven't I seen warnings in the Truecrypt docs against keeping several copies of the same file? And doesn't Dropbox backup every little change? You might want to add a note on your security page that storing encrypted files on a service with automated backups, like Dropbox, may pose security risks.
I feel like we've talked...your name seems familiar. If you're still looking for someone next term, hit me up (I'm otherwise occupied this summer).
You don't have to "build an audience first" - that's just one of many possible strategies. It's often promoted by bloggers - who often happen to have found success because of their audience.

For example, Groupon never "had an audience" - they got on the telephone and rang up small businesses.
This is a great deck. Look at slide 22 if you want some good ideas relating to this topic.
This is horrifying and I don't even know where to start examining the problem. Firstly, how do we trust any news source on a case like this when the press is controlled by the accuser? Second, even if the sentence is 'legally correct,' when does the threat of a human rights violation become too important to ignore - should countries be pressured to abolish death sentences (at least) for non-violent crimes? Even if the death penalty is the 'official' punishment to fit the crime, certainly it's a big problem if the actual delivery of that sentence is relegated to a minority of cases in which the government is motivated to prosecute. Of course selective prosecution is a problem with any legal system, but when the sentence is death it is all the more important to monitor cases through a transparent system. It doesn't seem that this kind of transparency is in place.

A number of loonies made a campaign for youngsters saying: "do not believe others, being gay is not an option if you want to be a christian, you can be cured". This may be normal in some other countries but in Finland this kind of advertisement and attacks in Gay Pride is a quite new thing. I'm very happy Apple made this and I hope it helps some youngsters who are unhappy about themselves and what they are.

The general thread here is about AI helping with a more proactive approach to medicine. Screening for high risk populations certainly falls under that.

You certainly said that screening leads to over diagnosis.

I think for screening, the best results are probably the upcoming prospective study from Kheiron.

Perhaps you've heard of the ship the MS St. Louis that in 1939 with 915 Jewish refugees from Germany that was denied entry into the US with an estimated 1/4 eventually dying in concentration camps. It was made into a book and a movie, "Voyage of the Damned" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0075406/

I'm sorry but I believe that people who are not in the US legally should not be going to our universities, let alone receive financial subsidies. They should apply as citizens of the country that they are citizens of just as anyone else who is not a US citizen and be subject to the same set of rules. Universities, esp. state ones with lower in-state tuition costs have limited number of spots that should go to residents of the state. For every person who is not in the US legally that you admit into the state university at in-state prices, you are depriving someone who is a citizen and a member of the state. Completely unfair!
The science is very interesting. But reading about the social effects of slavery still freaks me out.

0.8 billion for an unmanned rocket program is not exactly cheap. If anything it suggests that building rockets that work is expensive and private companies are going to spend similar amounts of money for similar results.

PS: That's not to say that improvements can't be made. A scaled up version of Scaled Composites White Knight that can lift a rocket capable of boosting 10 tons into to LEO would change the economics of space travel. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scaled_Composites_White_Knight_... However, it's an old idea and implementing it would be risky and expensive.

I don't think that's how things work. Infection is a probabilistic thing. Maybe you'll get infected and maybe you won't. A high quality mask properly fit and worn according to an exacting protocol will reduce your risk of infection by X. Compromising on any of those factors may mean your risk is only reduced by Y and Y is less than X, but that doesn't mean it's a complete waste to wear a mask without a clean room or without fitting.

In one of the articles linked in this thread there is a study showing mask usage in children is nearly as effective as intervention against flu as vaccines are. I only read the summary of that paper but I don't think the children are working with clean zones or following doffing procedures carefully.

The article does mention that the effectiveness of masks was greater along older children. To me, that connects with what I wrote earlier. The better you are about using your mask, and here I expect mask diligence comes with age, the better a result you will have, but something is still better than nothing.
That article is trying so hard. Way too hard. Any drug can kill you if you overdose it. If I remember right, 400 mg is the prescribed dosage. They are trying to make it seem that it can overdose easily but nope - at least 2g is needed to overdose. I can smell their bias in their reporting, they are trying to make the President look bad.
Ah, thanks! I didn't realize Theranos was trying to do 240 tests on one device.
I think I understand the point behind that post. Many Japanese believe that they are special and superior and love to sell that to non Japanese. It can be really annoying, and it isn't true that as a nationality they are somehow inherently superior.
Can it be used without external services, like firebase?
As I said in my original post: China managed this so well that it could make others think that it was not that big of a deal.

Wasn't until it got Italy hard that most people opened their eyes.

But the point I was trying to make was that saying that somebody should've done something differently is not helping anybody. That's just complaining and nobody needs that.
That would be a strong defence, but I believe GRRM disagrees with you. :)

> The Dothraki were actually fashioned as an amalgam of a number of steppe and plains cultures… Mongols and Huns, certainly, but also Alans, Sioux, Cheyenne, and various other Amerindian tribes… seasoned with a dash of pure fantasy

That's a direct quote from Martin. It seems quite clear to me he's not talking about their personality. He has also, more generally, made many claims about historical accuracy particularly when it comes to patterns of violence, economics, and more. Somewhat famously, he criticised Tolkien with a dig about Aragorn's tax policy. I don't believe tax policy, in this context, is an element of Aragorn's personality.

In a system where the government is essentially the majority of the parliament, a law to reinstate the previous practice will be passed pretty soon.
