Go cry in your MiG-29, Paul.
Sorry, my comment wasn't clear -- I thought it was interesting that you were closing the circle to bring it solely online. The outsourced clothes isn't interesting, but solely online is. Your website is cool and I like how you see the clothing combo you pick out, but I'd be concerned about getting the wrong measurements and ending up with not the shirt I want... In particular, I have a power lifters build so it's hard to find shirts that fit my shoulders that aren't far too big in other areas, and eg j crew's slim fit is just too tight for my biceps when it fits my shoulders.
Also make sure to get a variety of angles to the suspected source. The sensor is pretty planar, so will probably have a much smaller response when it's edge-on versus facing directly towards or away.
I'm sort of reminded by this quote by Pablo Picasso Good Artists Copy, Great Artists Steal . Just because you are making a copy of some one doesn't take away that you are either changing or improving on the design or taking it in a new direction...
It might be harsh, but I think it makes business sense to reduce a co-founder's influence in a startup when it becomes uncertain if that person will be able to continue contributing.

When I read that Bill Gates was called a rip-off artist, I was thinking of a couple of other decisions that made the company what it is now.
Can that possibly work? I would not expect cables to be perfectly indistinguishable (human touch is pretty sensitive), if only because of slight differences in tension/position/direction.
Nu, so what are you doing?
I (http://t.co/xvLvAuk) ended up with 15% through taxes, 85% through spending cuts, but also cut more than was needed.

I wouldn't be opposed to letting the Bush tax cuts expire (maybe in 2012 for >$250k, and in 2014 for everyone) if it were necessary, but it would impair some economic activity. I also would go for a higher estate tax, except that high estate taxes encourage crazy tax avoidance strategies; dynastic wealth is a bad thing on its own, but maybe that could be addressed by encouraging people to donate >50% of their estates to charity on death. (If there weren't crazy tax avoidance strategies, a 95+% estate tax would be fine with me; there should be no deadweight losses, only accelerated consumption by dying people.)

Defense should be cut by 50-75% over the next 10 years, however, which would also go a long way to paying off the debt as well.
Didn't get to see the show-and-tell. Was reading the slides. You can find it on Slideshare.

this can be done easily with pf using the dup-to flag of a match statement.

using a span port or other physical network tap would probably be a better solution than these things in production, though.
One thing I constantly see in the mobile deployment conversation is a focus on only end-user. There is a huge corporate enterprise market there as well. Since this is where I make my money, my decision tree is a bit different. Corporate clients generally target a more limited number of devices. Also, the app store would not be a likely repository for MIS to deploy from. There is a much bigger market than the end-user only apps that most of these points reference. HTML5 and webkit make good sense on the enterprise Intranet.
It's more involved than doing it on Ubuntu. To be honest the hardest thing you're likely to do is getting X running, closely followed by picking a window manager. Sound and Wifi are generally straightforward on Arch.

To put it in perspective, I use Arch on a P3-850-based Sony Vaio with 128mb of Ram and it flies.

The main things you'll get from Arch on a netbook are:

* Rolling release means that you don't have to do distribution upgrades.

* Have it your way - you pick what you want, what window manager you want, what editor you want etc. Use something like AwesomeWM, Xmonad or OpenBox to get the most out of your screen real-estate.

* Efficiency - Because you're only running what you want to run, your memory usage will be better and you wont have things you don't need lying around your hard disk, leaving the space to be filled with things you do.

The downsides:

* It's not a mainstream distro. While it has a great community, it's not as ubiquitous as something like Ubuntu. Still, Arch hasn't yet had it's eternal september so the people you do encounter know what they're talking about.

* You will tinker more and it will take up your time - if you don't play around then everything should work fine, but with the amount of flexibility Arch offers you will inevitably go through Window Managers and various tools, at the risk of breaking something.

Hope this is useful.
So basically by withdrawing from Iraq and Afghanistan, cutting down on health care massively, and tax reform (loophole-elimination) and a slight increase of the tax rate for everyone, you can easily balance the budget.

I know each of these are controversial, but I find it interesting that there are lot of perhaps equally controversial things that aren't necessary. No need to cut government employees, salaries, contractors, etc. No need to reduce military research or benefits. No need to have any special taxes on the very wealthy. The only change needed to social security is to raise the age.

It's really almost all in health care.
I love Calculus Made Easy by Silvanus Thompson (updated by Martin Gardner).
Yes that is my goal. I would put some more effort into the pitch and try it again. thanks
Everyone is saying that they might be on their way back to the garage and I agree except that the driver should have the off-duty light on at that point. They should pull over and explain "Hey I'm on my way back to the garage but I can take you if its close"

Note
On the cabby's behalf: If you rent and drive a yellow cab it cost you $150 to get in it. You have to fuel it up at the end of the shift so thats another $30-40 per shift.

At $5-10 per ride and assuming you can average 2 or 3 rides in an hour...it explains why they drive like maniacs and look to hustle.
I'd hesitate about MongoDB - I'm not aware of a mature Mongo-backed ORM, for starters. Personally, I like http://marijnhaverbeke.nl/postmodern/.
Or Empire Strikes Back, Godfather Part II, and plenty of other movies.
Feedback much appreciated
The NOAA data is about methane in general, not clathrates.
What music do you listen to that’s not on Spotify?
But have you tried creating a list?! /s
This is true. India has blocked a lot of major porn sites. This has however led to creation of porn sharing whatsapp/telegram groups since one person downloads the porn via VPN and then shares it to all. This inturn has led to sharing of even more shadier porn and hasn't prevented teens from accessing porn. Sadly this has lead to a couple of horrific cases of minors raping minors:

I guess sex education and teaching about consent at an early age is the only thing that can be done.
There is also a (conspiracy?) theory about the movie Frozen and the rumor that Walt Disney froze his head to be reanimated at a later point in time,
Whether it agrees with them or not, that's just how humans work. You abuse them, individually or as a group or as a nation, and they tend to abuse others. Post-colonial African nations oppress their people, Israel mistreats Palestinians, post-colonial China killed millions of its own people, post-Tsarist Russia had the purges and the Holodomor, the US occupies and abuses Haiti and then when they leave the Garde d'Haiti spends decades doing the same thing. It goes on and on and on.
That's not a separate issue. One of the programs they would cut is housing assistance. So that directly affects it.

You could say that housing costs are a larger issue. However that issue is largely a non-issue for the demographic we are talking about currently since they qualify for stuff like HUD assistance (which would be removed under the plan).
I'm not sore what Spotify gets out of this - why bother pushing your own protocol, why not just make your music work as many places as possible?
Still autonomous. Why are they not autonomous as described in the article?
Could someone boil this down to what he's really saying?

I think I understand it as: a corporation that exists via code (written by humans, the only need for humans in running this corporation) in the cloud that provide some service to real people (e.g., an autonomous Über). Am I right?
I was under the impression that coal plants, et cetera, were quite a bit higher efficiency than ICEs?

And I'm sure we'll continue to bulk up non-CO2 methods of power generation. Hydro power is commonplace, solar panels are a growth area, and likewise wind turbines...

(Lastly, since I live in BC, my power is 86% hydroelectric already, but I'm speaking generally. :) http://www.energybc.ca/map/bcenergymap.html)
I'd expect most of that is going to be for more senior staff, who you probably do not deserve it... you know, the ones with the kind of salaries that should be illegal - because they drive greedy, crappy employees into the top positions consistently.
I think that's more a reflection of CNN's lax journalism.
Weird that it doesn't mention that it's the language formerly known as PLT Scheme.
15" / 3.5" * how many pixels the new iPhone has. Math people.

So ~4100 by 2700. Pretty nice.
I think I'm going back to slashdot instead :)
Well... Without FLOSS-friendly AV codecs in the standard, it's no use to open-source it.
I assume three are for position, and three are for angle.
I agree they aren't very Zen. But Zen isn't very Buddhist either, it's more Taoism with a Buddhist gloss.
If as you say mainframes are overpriced and inefficient, that means there is a great opportunity for some organization to move with a much cheaper, more efficient option.

But people have been predicting the death of big iron for several decades now, yet they live on.

I don't doubt mainframes might be overpriced, but I also suspect the reason they persist is they have yet to come up with a cheaper option, offering the same performance figures.
Between feeling very slightly queasy for the first thirty minutes or so after I wake up, and not wanting toothpaste flavor in my mouth within half an hour on either side of when I eat, I almost never eat breakfast. Been that way as long as I can remember. Didn't realize I might be in the majority.
When it's followed by a decade of decline?
Don't think of it as a problem with specific people. It's systemic. You tell a CEO that he gets paid primarily based on how much profit the company makes this quarter and he's going to start slashing long-term R&D and burning the office furniture for heat.

But you're asking why funds invest in companies like that or prefer that method of compensation. Part of it is just laziness. Investing in a company or rewarding a CEO who posts big profits seems intuitively sensible and is easy to measure. It's a lot more work to do the investigation it takes to realize they're going to crash and burn and you could be the one holding the bag.

Another factor is that fund managers are often compensated using the same methods. If the fund does well in the short term then they're rewarded. The companies dedicated to short-term profits do exactly that, as long as the market doesn't factor in the long-term value before you divest. But the bonus if it works goes to the fund manager whereas the risk is to other peoples' money.
Not that beauty is a bad thing, per se, but it's never been high on the list of requirements for enterprise software. Functionality and configurability tend to be more important.
There IS a tech worker shortage ... of those willing to work for third world salaries.
Thanks for the tip, really nice! And lightweight... I can't stand these editors that need 45s to launch.
it certainly comes with additional social stigma.
Berkley must have been pattern-matching on Atlanta, and wanted to keep black people out of white neighborhoods. That's the explicit goal of "R-1" zoning.

The original title of the zoning districts are often conveniently left out of modern discussions. In 1922, it was:

- R1 white residence district

- R2 colored residence district

- R3 undetermined race district

There's this "1922 Atlanta Zone Plan" (authored in part by the mayor of Atlanta) that outlined the R1/R2/R3 zoning paradigm that we all live with today.

Quoting from the piece[0]:

> The residence districts are further subdivided into three race districts:

> R1 or white residence district.

> R2 or colored residence district.

> R3 or undetermined race district.

> [...]

> The above race zoning is essential in the in interest of the public peace, order and security and will promote the welfare and prosperity of both the white and colored race. Care has been taken to prevent discrimination and to provide adequate space for the expansion of the housing areas of cach race without encroaching on the areas now occupied by the other.

I wrote about the entire document (and copied it in its entirety) here[1].

I hope to someday see the entire zoning paradigm (residential, commercial, industrial) struck down, for the same reasons that redlining is illegal and widely understood to be immoral.

The Lancet study is very flawed on several economic fronts, the biggest being that it assume the government could tax / collect 100% of spending that Americans do voluntarily today in the private system to devote it to a government run plan. That is completely improbable and unrealistic expectation.

it also assumes government run systems will be as or better efficient than private system, we have 100's of years of history (including this very story) the proves that to be a fallacy
I can think of some rather obvious reasons why Kanner would reframe his position publicly. It's just way too taboo.

Kanner said that his believed autism had a genetic basis. I think it's a cop-out, as I don't think it makes any sense to blame genetics for the sudden appearance and dramatic rise of autism (and other childhood disorders) over the timespan of a few decades, even if genetics may certainly play a role in our susceptibility to these disorders.

In any case, this is merely my suspicion. I'm not a researcher on this subject.

The reason why I wrote that comment is because the stakes are high and the evidence is suggestive enough that this merits more of a discussion.

Every parent has to decide how much attention their child gets. How many parents would do things differently if they knew the impact it could have? Reading the research definitely opened my eyes and changed my opinion on how to raise our child.
No, these things use SFTP which is mainly ssh over 22
They're using "genocide" in the same sense of the word as people who allege "white genocide", i.e., to mean that policies are reducing fertility of a certain demographic.

Specifically, they allege:

> the use of arbitrary detention, political re-education, forced labour, torture and forced sterilization

The traditional, dictionary definition of genocide is "the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group".

To use genocide in this other sense seems to me disingenous; it's an attempt to invoke the strong emotional reaction we have to mass-killings when that is not what is alleged to be ocurring.

It is, in a sense, fake news: many people will see just the headlines, and assume that China is in fact carrying out vast, demographically targeted killings.
I get the impression you're equating sleep training with the old fashioned "cry it out" method. We loosely followed the Karp method and had very little crying and a very happy baby.
Not everyone will be paid less, the best will get paid the most.

I would take paying for my own home setup (which most companies will give you a stipend for) over commuting any day.
Perhaps the most interesting part for developers currently targeting or considering targeting Apple's App store:

"We had a very long, very torturous situation with Status Board almost being pulled that we’ve never written up out of sensitivity to our relationship with Apple. I only mention it here because it proves that it is possible to fix these awkward rejection situations without Apple suffering negative PR in the public eye — we did that 'offline'. But it took an absolutely massive amount of mental energy and time to work through — positively Sisyphean. I would never want to do it again — I’ve run out of patience, I guess. I can say for certain that the 'bad PR' version of the app dispute process is monumentally more effective. Which is a shame."

Apple's process is a favorite punching bag, of course, and for good reasons.

But I find it so common that 'bad PR' disputes that gain traction (or from parties who can easily command an audience) are more effective that I'm honestly have trouble thinking of exceptions to contrast Apple with.

Anyone know of some?

If not, what does this say about the limits of businesses to address systemic problems?
Total bullshit (and I guess that's your point, because it wasn't labeled as such). The first thing the guy's companions would have done would be to grab him and shake him awake. Instead they just stand around while Brown emerges from the back room, exactly as though they'd been asked to. And then Brown starts issuing orders for what amounts to a kidnapping? Maybe it gets more believable after the four-minute mark, but that's where I tuned out.

The wallet-steal trick I believe, because it only involved one mark. All Brown had to do was film dozens of attempts until it worked. Nothing new there -- Zimbardo and Milgram showed that if somebody refuses an order to do something silly, dangerous, or immoral, all you have to do is ask somebody else. It won't be long before you find a willing stooge. On the other hand, it might take months before you find an entire group of still-sober people (who just walked into a pub) who will play along perfectly with a complicated trick.
"Recur" means something different, regardless of the origins of the word "recursion." By the logic that we should never have two words with the same etymology, we should merge "chief" and "chef" (or "recourse" and "recursion," for that matter). And I don't know why it's an adjective; if it were the "Bill J. Simpson" Center we wouldn't decide "Bill J. Simpson" were an adjective.
Typescript has optical types

What are optical types? I've never heard of this term and Google turned up nothing on it.
Yeah, definitely. The other thing I was wondering is "Whatsup with the css and page design?" It seems like you are using inline style in your examples but is there a way to have my own css? And also, does the posts create a "standard html" markup?

As you can see, I find there are a couple of unanswered questions. Maybe you could add a simple FAQ or something :)
Still, the landing page does a great job at picking someone's interest, so good wok for that.
This was rejection, not skepticism, despite what he called it.
Arguably, there's utility in the fact that the ps3s are all the same hardware, and need only one patch.

Of course, the Xbox is also, but the point made in the article was that the PS3 botnet would be quite a lot stronger than a 360 botnet.

Hacking microsoft/google/apple/etc would lead to having to use software on a botnet comprised of a wide range of hardware...

So on what applications does that tradeoff of utility against the difficulty of hacking Sony make sense?
> YC has one company with very high potential of a billion dollar exit in Dropbox.

How is this possible? I'm not trolling -- I genuinely don't understand this.
I like the Brazilian solution of positioning the stars on the flag as they appear in the sky.

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

I was a bit disappointed when the Brazilian soccer squad won their fifth world title and didn't put the stars in a Southern Cross formation on their uniform.
I hate to admit it but Apple can do whatever they want with their platform and has demonstrated they would rather hurt competitors at the cost of end users/developers. The sad thing is many end users (read comments on the blog) think it's wonderful. They are ecstatic that they don't have the option to install Flash.
People seem to be associating the apparent neglect of Macs at the WWDC, the marketing focus on the iOS products and the delay in OSX 10.7 as the beginning of a phase out of the platform. It is most likely just a focus of scarce company resources on launching the new product line.
Actually I never took the argument 'avoid macros unless absolutely needed' seriously. Macros are sexy and fun to code. The ease of writing macros in a syntax-less Lisp is ubercool. And programming should be fun, right?

I code in Ruby using monkeypatches and dirty hacks. I mostly use functional style with lots of blocks and lambdas and rarely write a proper class. So I'm a programming language power abuser, and proud of it ;)

But here I'm talking about a cognitive experience of reading code written some time ago or by someone else. Let's say that with macros/metaclasses/DSLs you prepare some environment to make your final code more spicey, and then you write that final code. My conclusion is that for Clojure my reaction on reading such code was usually "WTF?!?", and for Ruby: "Ahhh that's clear".

Btw I wonder why someone downvoted my original comment..

[edit] One more thing on macros: the On Lisp book which is armed to the teeth with macros was the cause why I learned Lisps years ago :]
I suspect the game psychology is quite different. A person looking for a sound editing suite needs a sound editing suite, and the question really is whether to chose Suite A, B or C. A person looking for a game is probably looking for any game, and knows even if they buy your specific game they might not get into it and therefore not get full value. They are also not concerned about ongoing support. So I don't think this guy's lessons apply.
It could be useful in extensions for browsers which support javascript-based plugins, like Firefox and Chrome.
So, what did we do when we had 29 states?
People are already talking about using the iPad itself to do development, it does after all support a VGA out and bluetooth keyboard already. It would enable a whole new generation of developers on the platform who can't afford a Mac mini in addition to the iPad.
Sounds like you have an attitude problem...

At least that's what I hear whenever I give basically the same response you have when I am presented with a proposed outsourcing move. Your advice to find another job is good, but eventually, the beancounters will come along and ruin that as well.
Man, you are living in a total fantasy. The vast majority of media coverage of technology is fawning and optimistic. Your reasoning is being clouded by emotions and selection bias.

Everyone is power gets bad press sometimes. Best to handle it with grace, not like this.
