Interesting question. One possibility is a heuristic to determine whether the user is looking for a broad overview or trying to solve a specific problem. For example, "2d arrays in Objective C" should bring up a doc page or a tutorial page that provides an overview of the concept; but "How to initialize a 2D array in Objective C" could provide an SO page where someone has asked exactly that. In general, the narrower the query, the more likely it should be that a forum or other UGC site will provide a better answer than an overview page, because someone else has likely run into the problem before.
Does that match your ordering experience? Because for me Amazon have been more consistent - super saver items are consistently delivered at the end of the delivery window. Other retailers seem to have a wider distribution like you describe.
Except where it doesn't. I have a Google+ account. I also have a separate work email that uses a Google Apps account.

Without my prompting, and after already indicating that I didn't want a Google+ account for my work account, Google displayed a distracting notification that I should add people to my (work) Google+ account, the account that I didn't create and definitely didn't want.

Sometimes I don't want to use any of those five other services. And if I happen to watch some YouTube videos at work from time to time, I don't really want those to be associated with my Google Apps work account.

So no, it is not a mistake to view it as Google forcing me to use social features that I don't want; that's exactly what it is!
What did you ask? I've been trying some Ubuntu Touch development recently and I found documentation for it to be ok.
GitHub itself is proprietary. Don't confuse the DVCS with the software hosting service that made it popular.
Even if there were braces, the bug would still exist if the extra goto was outside the braces.

It might be more noticeable, but then, the original bug existed because no one noticed.
I'd love to talk to you about your algorithmic trading experience. Can we get in touch sometime?
Same for Delphi, seems there's quite a market in the malware industry. Not having a soul would be an advantage.
Of course they use the term "closed source" instead of "proprietary" because it sounds less scary.

Seems like they want to implement one of those Microsoft "shared source" models, which still count as proprietary.
Not really, it's just random chance mostly, at least during the Shuttle program. The Apollo program was too short to draw firm conclusions from.

People often believe that NASA had bad luck when they lost Challenger and Columbia, the truth is the opposite, they came extremely close to losing a lot more crews. On the very first flight, STS-1, there was a serious problem with the body flap on the orbiter caused by an overpressure wave from the SRBs, John Young, the commander of the flight, said that if he had known of the problem during takeoff he would have bailed out during launch. Later flights had other, equally serious problems. STS-8 came very close to suffering the same fate as Challenger. STS-9 could have easily been lost if the computer crashes that occurred in flight happened during re-entry or to the fire and explosion of 2 out of 3 of its auxiliary power units, which occurred just after touchdown, fortunately. STS-27 suffered sever TPS damage and could easily have been lost just as Columbia was.

For many of these issues NASA worked on fixing them but never acknowledged the full extent of the risk and mostly just pretended that everything was OK up until something bad happened. If the fires on STS-9 never occurred an APU disaster could have resulted in loss of a crew during a flight. Even though TPS damage from foam/ice strikes happened on many flights NASA was never able to tackle the problem and merely got away with being lucky, right up until the loss of Columbia on STS-107.
So you're saying that Bitcoin is so volatile and risky that only a fool use it?

Noted, thanks for the warning.
Have you tried out going through Matasano's crypto-challenge? It's fun, and they use it as a funnel for their recruiting efforts. (See http://www.matasano.com/articles/crypto-challenges/)
Correct me if I'm wrong but web components can use the native DOM without depending on a virtual DOM.
I understand that, but why then is the machine only $699 in the US? That difference (£307 according to XE.com) can't all be tax and import duty can it?
My favorite mud was Frontier Mud - not sure when it went down. Back in college I was writing an LPMud called MirrorMud that featured a mystical mountain. You'd appear to finish your quest to the mountain top, but then when you'd return to town, the description of everything and everyone around you would be different, and evil, almost like everyone had been replaced by evil versions of themselves. I was playing with lex and yacc to make parsers like the Swedish Chef parser, so that any other player's speech would be re-parsed live to look evil (without their knowledge). Meanwhile, from the perspective of the other players, a player returning from the mountain would have his speech re-parsed (without his knowledge) to look delusional or drunk somehow. The idea is that you'd need another quest to put things back to normal, and in the meantime all the players could have fun messing with the people returning from the quest. That was about as far as I got, because one of the campus administrators found the mud running on my account and deleted my files. Argh campus administrators!
If naming victims is important, than we should also name the students who are victims of their parents being systematically excluded and oppressed as well I would imagine?
If they haven't noticed by now, they'll notice soon that even minor updates like 12.2.2 takes 40+ minutes to install, no matter the download size difference.
Worth remembering that you can configure a machine to either mirror a display (I would expect the most common case) or extend the desktop (new display becomes display #2).

It is also not uncommon to dock a laptop at a workstation with dual or triple monitors.
It also seems broken on linux (i'm running vim 8.2 on ubuntu 18.04), sadly. Lots of github threads about it.
It showed my name with middle initials as living in Sidney Ohio. I couldn't figure out why until I realized that they got it from domain info for a domain I own. Since I pay for my contact info to be hidden, they are seeing the address of the company I bought the domain through.

I imagine they have a lot of results like that for the same reason, then.

Since I'm not even from the States, and have never been to Ohio, I wonder what all the assets etc. that they claim to have on me come from.
This is a great suggestion, but it is also surprising that it is necessary.
This is fun, thanks! Minor bug report, this asset is missing (404 - found it broken while creating a character): https://www.achaea.com/local/client_data/classes/psion.jpg?v...
Obama wanted class warfare and he got it.
I have the Tread, and I'm on the verge of cancelling my subscription. The $40 would be worth it if I was into the classes, but I tried them for a while and switched back to listening to podcasts while I run.

It's disappointing to have such nice hardware that's so limited--can't watch youtube or listen to music directly on the device, no built in interval training, no way to pause a run... Now that I think about it, it's one of the least-capable treadmills I've ever owned.
well wtf have i been doing this whole time?
> Mostly on iOS I'm often trying to pay quickly and I try to activate the contactless payment but I'll end up turning my phone off or I'll try to bring up my card before my phone is close enough.

Having an Apple watch helps out a lot here. I can't do it on my phone either, but on my watch it is trivial.
Most cryptocurrencies are designed such that the concept of "returning" stolen funds is not really meaningful.

The best analogue is cash. If you want to return the cash you need to physically find it and move it back.
This is really freaking cool and a long time coming. It's sad that iPads are left out since those are the primary POS device that stores use (off the shelf device at least) but I look forward to testing this out when they release it. I need to support swipe/dip so I'll have to stick with my BTLE device for that but this would be cool addition to have contactless-only checkout stations manned by people with iPhones.
How long before some stores don't accept cash? How long before banks do a background check (taking weeks) before giving you cash?
He's easy to work with. I was a technical reviewer on his book, and not only was he extremely good at communication, he gracefully handled stupid bullshit from me that nobody could reasonably be expected to handle. In terms of interpersonal ability, I think he's head and shoulders above the crowd.
I think, once you've put a letter in place, clicking another letter should either be blocked until animations are finished or should go ahead and fill the next available place
The annoying version of that is in Roma St train station in Brisbane, Australia, they play a super high-pitched noise -- the theory is only young people can hear it, and after a while it starts to really annoy. The issue with it, is if you have good hearing and aren't a young "hoodlum" it'll drive you crazy if you're hanging around having a smoke, or meeting friends. I'm unsure if it's still there, it was a couple years ago now.
an oversight by facebook ?, really ?, a mistake ? ... so you just decided for the hell of it to ban all links to <random url> and <random url> just happened to be lamebook!!!, what an unreal coincidence.

Y'know what's really lame?, expecting anyone to believe that crap ...
I remember the HornyManatee.com thing :)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Late_Night_with_Conan_O...

"Conan, in an ad-libbed statement, mentioned that the character appeared on the, at the time fictitious, web site "HornyManatee.com". The next night, Conan told viewers that if he mentions a web site which doesn't exist the NBC corporate policy is to buy the domain name lest someone else use it and potentially make NBC liable for the site's content. Conan said Late Night decided to use the domain name to create an actual web site, giving it the appearance of a fake porn site. "
The server going down due to popularity might actually help your case.
Couldn't she have hired some gentile to do the typing? Other than the "light a fire" thingy, I can't imagine Facebook being against any "work on the Sabbath" law. I'd actually propose that any minute spent on Facebook counts as some kind of indulgence for the purpose of work (Yes, I know, I'm mixing religions all willy-nilly now).
I think that a feature request for AppSumo would be a Deal Counter. The idea would be that once a deal hits a specific threshold (say 100), the deal would begin to advertise that there are X number remaining. This would avoid any confusion about what people are purchasing and a way to entice people to purchase.
"Feynman is another example of a writer who exposes his interest in a wide variety of stuff(Brazilian drumming for eg) but he isn't yawn inducing."

Do keep in mind that Feynman's biographical books (Surely You're Joking, etc.) were not written by Feynman in the classical sense. They were drawn from taped conversations and written/edited by Ralph Leighton.

Many people often speak and write with different tones and levels of formality, and this can cause a message to come across in a different way.

Perhaps Hofstadter would have done better to have a number of conversations with, say, Thomas Pynchon, and then TRP could have written a very twisted version of the same book.

I think the nerdiverse would implode upon itself as the multiplicative power of people claiming to have read books they haven't would create a third book, vaguely resembling a comic book version of Ulysses.
I can foresee SSL offloading, if it can pump through 10mbps of plain->SSL
Couldn't scientific journals, or journal databases like Springer Link make the data behind papers available?
Dust, at least, is not an issue like you suspect. The researchers who developed this technique took the dust from a vacuum cleaner and dumped it on a treated piece of metal; water picks up the dust and then slides right off, so the surface is actually incredibly easy to clean.
I agree, but I also think if that happens, crypto will adapt to things like custom protocols built to be indistinguishable from regular traffic.

The great thing about code is that there's usually a way to change the rules. The scary part is that it leads to an endless arms race.
> This means that in order to have Bitcoin serve as the daily currency for all of Argentina's 50 million people would at least 50-tuple its energy consumption.

That's not how Bitcoin or any PoW works. The amount of energy used is not a direct function of number of wallets. It is not either a direct function of number of transactions.
Ciao besn, yes it is designed for constrained environments and now runs only on Arduino compatible devices, although it already supports system calls abstractions to be easily compiled in other environments.
Does it have to be one of two choices or can there be multiple choices?

Off the top of my head I would say what You are talking about is "Persuasion" there are synonyms for that term such as "Coaxing" or the one You already used in your question "Nudging".

Magicians practice the subtle art of "Misdirection" and there was that Leonardo DiCaprio movie Inception, maybe the term you're seeking was used in it.

My personal favorite would be "Propaganda" or "Propagandization" which has been defined as the "deliberate, systematic attempt to shape perceptions, manipulate cognitions, and direct behavior to achieve a response that furthers the desired intent of the propagandist"

All of these terms should fall under the umbrella term of "Social Engineering" but sadly that term has had its meaning conscripted into a hacking technique as far as modern search engines are concerned.

I'm sure there are other words, I hope You find the one you're looking for, I know how it feels when You can't find the words You know, You knew!

Good luck
> There is nothing surprising here.

Then why disable buying and not selling, if things were volatile the exchange could have stepped in and stop the trading. There was really no reason for DTCC to increase the margin to 100%.
> We don't have a Bell labs anymore

Bell Labs was 100% funded by the rents of a government-enforced monopoly.

Ma Bell spent its corporate lifetime fighting to prevent things like the Internet from happening. Bell Labs' job was to patent things like the answering machine so AT&T could prevent them from existing for as long as possible.

I, for one, am very very glad that Bell Labs no longer exists.
They just have the best SEO.
At the very least, their statement shows that they recognize the harm that revealing someone's identity can cause.

It also acknowledges that "many important stories in sensitive areas like politics, national security and business could never be" discussed without anonymity. Whether that discussion happens on the NYT or not is, IMO, irrelevant. I realize blogs are a threat to their business model, but that doesn't excuse targeting their authors.
My uncle still has his father's Model T, from about the same time. Even has the original bill of sale!

I've ridden in it. It's scary even at 5mph. Not a single safety feature.
Which institutes would you recommend for Engineering research?
"This means that in order to have Bitcoin serve as the daily currency for all of Argentina's 50 million people would at least 50-tuple its energy consumption."

This comment is beyond dumb and just showcases that you have no clue whatsoever about how bitcoin works. Bitcoin's power consumption doesn't go up when more people use it. It goes up when more people COMPETE for the production of the next block, meaning when there are more miners.

Also more than 50% of bitcoin's power consumption already comes from renewable sources.

Also youtube and online gaming need many times more power and I'd argue that a global, open, permissionless financial network is far more important.
This is lame. The title should also mention that you need to buy the app.
I think this is one of the few areas of DF where players don't actually choose the most optimal path, but instead choose the most amusing, or dwarfiest, path.

I mean, you see countless arguments about stair shaft vs single floors, trap paths vs artillery paths, optimal pumps, delegation of jobs, etc, but everyone agrees that nobles should go in the lava.
Thanks for writing that up - I am going to work on improving my Emacs setup on my Linux and OS X laptops. I find it much easier to write or code when my screen is not cluttered so full screen Emacs makes sense for me.

BTW, off topic, but re: having a personal environment while at work: I was fortunate to work at Google for a while in 2013 and I was uncomfortable having any personal setups on my work Linux box or laptop. My solution was simple: I just used my Android phone for personal email, checking Hacker News, etc. during my lunch break. I also have a SSH shell app on my phone so in an emergency I could have accessed my personal servers. Anyway, it seems odd to spend too much effort setting up a personal environment for use at work :-)
Or an electronic sign that simply shows red/green as a GO/NOGO indicator. We already have them for crosswalks, school zones, etc., why not extend it to parking zones?

They might be slightly more expensive, but you could just install them on the curbs where there is more than one rule.
I make lists of things that need to be done during the day when I start - usually 3-10 things, and a list of things that might be deferred, which makes it easier to make sure I return to the right things when I get interrupted.

If someone comes to talk to me, I write down any actions that come out of the conversation immediately, so I don't lose track of them, and try not to promise to resolve them immediately - that adds to the above list, so things naturally rotate in and out over time.

I like to take half hour walks to think - that helps ensure that I'm really working on the right things on a longer timescale, even though I get distracted on details at times.

With code, interruptions have forced me to think in terms of breaking work up into small, atomic commits. It makes it harder to do larger design/refactoring exercises, but it forces you to get better at splitting work up.

With smaller tasks, I tend to make a lot of tickets to track what needs to be done over larger timespans, which conveniently makes it easier to delegate.
"Software Strategist" doesn't sound, to me, like someone who writes any code.
> Is there any way to detect that you're being MITM'd?

Yes, a project we're working on called DNSChain prevents MITM attacks for domains that have their info stored in a blockchain.

We're maintaining a list of alternatives and how they compare to DNSChain here:

I guess barbed wire was sold by weight, just like nails are to this day (see for example http://www.diy.com/search/results/?question=nails)

I also guess that many nail manufacturers produced barbed wire.
No Python love either. There's a clear constraint on the amount of engineering resource that Oracle is putting into NetBeans. So they are targeting their resources for where they think it is most needed.
The title alone says much about the simplicity of the product. "Dropbox" is more friendly and much easier to remember than the name of "DVCS-Autosync".

You should check out https://www.custora.com/ a ycombinator startup that is implementing some of those already. They are in beta.
I've worked with SELinux in the past, it works but it can be a real pain to get up and running and there's a bit of a learning curve associated with it.
Except if your language/platform hides the actual thread implementation in an epoll loop.

Yeah, I prefer the Spivak pronouns myself.
you might also want to have a look at shogun:

http://www.shogun-toolbox.org/

it provides a nice wrapper around libsvm, liblinear, and a whole bunch of other classification libraries. plus it provides things like HDF5 support, octave, matlab, python and R bindings, more esoteric kernels (e.g., on strings) as well as one-class and multi-class SVMs.
Perhaps if you count the CPAN.
They might have been brainwashed - after all, religion plays a role here. Also, getting rid of slavery does hurt the situation of previous slave owners.
You're right. But unfortunately, that is what feeds the media companies like the BBC with lazy articles like this one and glossing over details.

> I'd rather see who has the highest liquidity.

That would be interesting.
It's a shame that iMessage isn't an option (for users, not in the poll!). It's nothing like a perfect option, but if anything is going to beat WhatsApp for mindshare it's something from Apple which already has an enormous non-tech userbase.

I know the reflex answer is "they won't do it because iPhone exclusivity sells iPhones" but suspect that's increasingly only true in the US.

People here are describing how phones there are increasingly WhatsApp-running platforms, and Apple would be wise to prevent that while it can. Might also offer them an upsell route for their other cross-platform services.
> rioting is never justified and must be met with police force

Actually, some governments are so oppressive that sometimes rioting is all the citizens have left.
Isn't it what the second amendment is for anyway?

I'd even support yesterday's "revolution" if it was justified and the election was actually stolen.
But falsely calling an election stolen is dangerous. It's the equivalent of a false rape accusation at a country scale.

And oppressive governments do meet riots with police force. Sometimes they straight up kill the people, yet they keep on rioting because it's the only way they can defend their rights.
They CAN kick anyone out- just not for any reason. "I don't want you in my business" is the only reason needed.
Regardless of what the media is labeling the events on January 6th, the people involved were acting of their own free will. Trump has no culpability for the actions of his supporters.
If you could have hired someone equally competent for less money, why didn't you?

If you couldn't find such a person, the person you hired is hardly overpaid.
