No, they did. My available balance has been deducted and the transaction is fully shown.
Not sure I agree with this. The article compares extremely low-fidelity wireframes with very high fidelity mockups. You don't have to choose between one or the other. Tools like Balsamiq allow you to create mockups that give a better approximation of the real thing with substantially less work.

I'm not saying you shouldn't create high-fidelity mockups, but get the usability problems solved first in a lower-cost environment. That could be as simple as a whiteboarding session or using index cards. You should be excited for a product/site not only based on how it looks, but what it does.
For introverts, such trips are not lubrication. They effectively throw sand directly in the gears of the machine. Personally, it takes me days to unwind after being forced to go on such outings.

The smart thing to do would be for companies to actually solicit feedback and listen to their employees in order to accommodate their needs. As it stands, one must actively work to prevent companies from sabotaging themselves through mandatory participation in activities that will ultimately be injurious to your mental health.
Nobody said you couldn’t. Go for it!
Am I the only person that saw this app and immediately thought of google glass?
I thought the argument was about the effect on temperature from the various absorption spectra of different chemicals as their ratios are changed within a volume. The basics of it are pretty solid. We know that there is an effect because that is dictated by the physics. You can even test it at home with a few sealed fishtanks.
This is still a huge hurdle compared to fiat, which is: Put in bank.

Hey Marc... Really excited to see this. I worked at the Ladders in 2017, specifically on the resume builder app. I know how much thought, cool tech and experience went into that and I am sure leetresumes will also knock peoples’ socks off. Good luck!
Thank you for writing this. I always found the Four Hour Work Week to be offensive to my values, but I couldn't effectively put my objection into words. This has captured exactly how I feel about it.

I hope more people begin to follow this mindset than the vapid, soulless Tim Ferris approach.
Most large companies have some zombie job postings for positions which are no longer budgeted but haven't been removed from the web site yet.
On the other hand, if your ISP was crap, you could easily pick a new one. If they were all crap, you could start your own with a t1 to connect to the internet, and another t1 (or less) to answer calls.

If your phone company was crap, you were kind of stuck, but they usually weren't too bad.
I would also prefer a good editor (rather than an IDE), if only it had really intelligent context-aware autocompletion and would let me rename variables/classes/etc reliably (without using dumb search-and-replace).
Interesting, thanks for your comment. I just did some further digging and it looks like the fuel is essentially a puck of metal alloy and radioactive material. Nuclear chemistry is so cool!

"Good" private schools (Harvard, Stanford, MIT etc.) charge a lot for tuition then redistribute funds so that people from less affluent backgrounds get need-based scholarships. I think this pressures other private schools to raise costs in order to seem competitive, even though they don't often have the same generous financial aid. In some cases, going to Stanford may be more affordable than going to Berkeley even if you're in-state.

The strange consequence of this is that it is almost better (from a selfish viewpoint), if you are not rich, to not have money saved for college if you send your kid to Harvard, because they'll take any money you do have.

The room and board cost is mostly based on cost of living (Boston and the Bay area are more expensive than Madison, Wisconsin), but financial aid will often cover that too.
Thank you! the usage of "lie" is becoming common while people actually mean "wrong"
Bike theft is an underrated crime politically. Here in Denmark politicians are busy kicking out refugees, imposing tough sentences on gang related crime or demanding action against the crime of the week, as reported by the newspapers. All done so that Danes can feel safe in their own city.

That's bullshit, want to make Danes feel safe? Actually do something about crime that affect normal people, like bike theft. Most people don't notice gangs and aren't affected by it, but I'd bet that most adult Dane have had a bike or two stolen.
Well, I guess you'll have to weigh the amount of fossil fuels that you burn doing that against whatever else you were going to do in that time.
Windows Explorer, macOS Finder, KDE Dolphin, and GNOME Nautilus all beg to differ.

The issue is that tasks on the CLI tend to be split between many different utilities. So you'd either need a standardized method for sharing an undo tree between the different utilities, or alternatively to integrate all the different tasks under a single program.
Yes, same solution, my bad.

In American usage, it has had widespread use as shorthand for “at” in many different contexts, not just in terms of price per unit fir quite a while; some of them.may have been catalyzed by thr usage in email, but I think enough are older that email fits into an existing pattern rather than creating a new one.
I suppose it's hard to see what the future will hold, but at least in London there's Gett and Freenow, and a lot of the traditional players like Addy Lee now have apps of varying quality. As you point out, stuff like Deliveroo might not have existed without Uber.

Not quite the same as metal rails running up the country I agree, but I think in hindsight Uber will be remembered as a significant innovation. Think Napster.
The fact that the US government relies on “philanthropic resources” is a huge problem and not really a problem caused by Schmidt.
Many of the world's problems could be greatly alleviated if we collectively agreed that shrinking, not growing, our populations over time is the right thing to do. Unfortunately, nationalism incentivizes the opposite. No country's going to go first.
No disrespect to the extensive work you did there-- and this is a general complaint about basically all the "ECC explained" I've seen on the web, but I think that jumping into the mechanics of explaining at the blades-of-grass level how to implement point arithmetic without ever giving an clear intuition as to how a cyclic group with intractable discrete log is cryptographically useful does the reader a disservice.

E.g. after reading one of these tutorials, they might be able to go and _implement_ the cryptosystem, but they won't actually understand it except at a "Chinese Room" level, and as a result it won't actually be safe for them to implement any of it, since they'll be unlikely to ask the right questions. E.g. they'd make the Sony mistake.

Yours goes a little further, and for that I must give it credit: Many just explain the addition law and russian peasants algorithm, throw out an equation for ECDSA and call it a day. But if you do a revision, I'd encourage you to rearrange and explain the cryptographic algorithms abstractly, and in depth, first... before jumping into the mechanics of the machine implementation of a particular group law.

The Sphinx website mentions scaling but just throws numbers out there without mentioning scaling out. Assuming it is distributed you'd have to run benchmarks with your data and queries to really know how it'll perform against Riak Search for any given number of nodes.

If it's not distributed then Riak search can outperform it with enough nodes, without question. The question then becomes how many nodes.

I'd love to see some benchmarks on this sort of thing if anyone is up to it.

Really? Is that something that you really need to concentrate on?

And honestly, are people that offended? What percentage of ppl in the US care? What percentage of Blacks and NI care about Huck Finn and BNW respectively?

Maybe the saddest thing is that people like Rbanffy will use this to fuel a conspiracy that there is some nationwide outrage around these books, when none exists.

I guarantee you there is a thousand times more outrage in the US over the existence of the Koran.
There are definitely more distracted drivers.
I'm a pretty serious road cyclist, so I get LOTS of questions about training, and about Peloton in particular, which is weird because serious outdoor riders are not really Peloton's market AT ALL. It's always been for spin people, and spin classes are their own thing entirely.

Certainly SOME of my riding pals do spin during the week, but most of them are doing structured workouts using TrainerRoad or TrainingPeaks or Zwift and a smart trainer attached to a real bike. (Mostly, it's their old bike, because cyclists nearly always have more than one bike.)

Indoor training for cyclists has, for the last 15 or so years, generally been focused on power targets. You do some fitness tests to determine your maximum hourly wattage, and then your workouts are expressed as a series of X minutes at Y% of your max power, etc.

This is tedious if you're using an old-style, fixed-resistance trainer, because you're watching the clock during the intervals and then shifting on the bike to achieve higher or lower levels of resistance in order to hit the right power target at a reasonable cadence. Honestly, this SUCKS.

Smart trainers take that out of it by dynamically adjusting the resistance for each segment during the workout, so all you really have to do is keep pedaling at the desired cadence (typically 90-95 rpm); sometimes it's harder, and sometimes it's easier. You don't have to manage anything. It's awesome. (I watch bad movies on the trainer now.)

The Peloton, as I understand, doesn't dynamically adjust its resistance. I'm baffled by this, given how home training is for go-fast cyclists, but maybe that's just not a thing spin people want.
It's entirely honest. There are "mountains" of legitimately confirmed votes, proportionally there are only a tiny number of cases where something objectionable may or may not have happened. In your original post you intentionally misrepresent how frequently potential wrongdoing may have occurred and jump straight to asserting "mountains of fraud".

It is perfectly fine to find irregularities and question them, it crosses into bad faith when those irregularities are explained[1] and they continue to be repeated as if they were not.

What we are seeing is people repeating points that appear compelling at first glance, but only when wilfully ignoring any context that comes with those points. Some extremely egregious examples of this have come from last night's Capitol incident where the same people claiming or incensed by "mountains of election fraud" were falsely claiming that the protestors were "communist Antifa"[2].

>10s of cases out of 100s of millions/low billions of votes cast

I know of at least 2 people in my friend group who voted in their "home states" that they haven't lived in for 4+ years. I don't know if this is considered voter fraud, but if it is, it certainly undermines integrity of this claim.

In any case, at the macro level, there isn't reason to believe one party participates in this more than the other.
I agree it's a bit big, I tend to configure my keyboards to use the minimal size. That said, there are multiple themes to pick from, and some are smaller than others. You could conceivably make your own, though I have never tried.

Edit: thanks a lot
aasasd, I had just spent a few minutes looking for it (again), without finding it.
I meant that when they start paying vs being free customers they start to have expectations. You're right, when they pay less, they seem to expect more. The lower price just attracts that kind of customer. I saw this at Kaplan Test Prep. The most demanding students were the NCLEX students who only paid $400-600, while the USMLE students who paid $6000-10000 never asked for anything.
There's a lot of history for so-called term subscription license (TSL's) in the business literature. I agree with the general comments about offering 3- or 6-month TSL's but price your fees around a 12-month TSL and charge more for shorter commitment periods. The 12-month TSL price calculation is as much a feature of your estimated churn and resulting life time contract value as market forces. In our market, salesforce.com is the benchmark and we price accordingly. Hopefully you can find a public TSL rate to compare, too.
Thanks. I was just looking into this.

Nice work. For the iOS ones the only one I can really see any meaningful difference for is the iPad one, and for that one I prefer the scaled version as it seems more "blueprinty" to me. As with text, sticking to the pixel grid can cause things to become unexpectedly bold or thin as you change scale. Similar happens to the smallest size icon too, though it's not as big a difference.

Tried it on my iPhone too, but wasn't sure how to ensure 1-to-1 pixel scale, default in Photo viewer seemed like it might be that though.
I get the feeling some pixel-wranglers might enjoy creating these optimized versions if it weren't for the uncertainty around their size/use.
A surprisingly (and unfortunately) large number of people seem to think that having a large market share of something is a monopoly.
Again with the spin. Apple didn't get where they are by throwing their weight around, causing "tremors of fear". They got there by out-doing everyone else 3 or 4 times in a row now.

Where do you come up with this stuff? You think Apple was "throwing their weight around" with the iPod? Before they released it, I think most people didn't even realize Apple was still around. With the iPhone? The smart phone market was barely worth paying attention to before they reinvented it.

Talk about "reality distortion field".
On average, no. In random scenarios, frequently.
Ruby devs build more web apps and Python devs do more systems dev and data crunching. Not exactly a groundbreaking revelation knowing that Python has much more in the way of bindings for C/C++ and Fortran libraries for statistical / math routines, but still interesting to see this reconfirmed.
What opportunity cost?

Diglossia is very, very common worldwide, and many languages have a different functional distribution. In Morocco, kids may speak Berber at home, Arabic on the street, French in school. In other places, you may learn math and science in an international language and literature in a mother tongue.

Bilingualism is very common worldwide; people being bilingual isn't actually a big problem that you need to use state resources (schools and education policy) to stamp out mother tongues.

And as Joshua Fishman points out, if society isn't supporting minority mother tongues, then it is opposing them.
Unit tests! :)
