I've never had any luck with that. I called the CC company in front of the Fry's folks and the CC folks just said, basically, "tough, if they won't take it back, that's not our problem"

I don't use that CC any more.
To be fair universities generally teach adults, not children.
Markhor (YC S15) Takes the Middleman Out of Designer Shoemaking
Because what is this lol
None of the campus movements that brought about any change was created by students afraid of words, though. Quite the opposite. These students aren't standing up for anything except their own inability to understand comedy, irony, and other non-straightforward ways of expression that they should have learned before they even got in high school. In other words, the only thing these students are standing up for now is their own stupidity. And the only thing that's changed from the past is the adults who know better are now letting it happen instead of telling the students to shut up with their stupidity. Thus, no comedians on campus. Because humor is one of those ways of expressing oneself described above.
I think we're going on the wrong track. What I meant was that Rockefeller and Ellison both show that wealth doesn't always come from producing value, but can also be made by abusing market dominance.

Arguing the nuances of Standard Oil's behavior is a moot point when the Supreme Court settled that issue in 1911.
I'm in the middle of writing my first C# app, targeting the Intel IoT Gateway (all with MonoDevelop on Ubuntu.) How things come full circle...
If you call them kids you've already removed their responsibility. Start calling college students adults and suddenly it all becomes a lot more ridiculous.

Get your shit together, adults.

How to Turn Your Idea into a Crowdfunding-Ready Prototype
As the author of the original post, I do want to say that I'm not opposed to accommodations and work hard to make sure students are able to master the content in my courses. I'm cool with puppy rooms even... I wrote this as a morning rant. These are just my observations as a mid career professional. There is just so much of this. The crux of the problem, if there is one, is the corporatization of the university experience. I wrote an earlier post about grade inflation that touched on this too...
Yet at my law school, there was an unspoken rule in our criminal law classes that the exams would never have a fact pattern invoking sexual assault, for the obvious reasons. Perhaps the truth is always more nuanced than what is being said here.
> If these costs are being borne evenly, then it's complete societal waste.

That doesn't make sense.

You are saying because User reads Content, Advertiser pays Content, and User pays Advertiser, that the middle step of Advertiser paying Content is unnecessary, because User could pay Content.

Simple counterexample: I like reading techcrunch, but would never pay for it. But I might see an ad for a new device that I like and would pay for, on techcrunch. If I click through the ad and buy it, then everyone wins. Techcrunch makes money from me, who would never pay them directly, because the advertiser pays them, and the advertiser makes money, because I buy their product.
And yet ad blockers generally try as hard as they can to block all types of ads.
Interesting you have been spending time looking at Java source code, what problems were you trying to solve?

I have been working professionally with clojure for about a year and haven't had to look at any Java source code.
> As you can see here the SIMD (NEON) extension adds 16 – 128 bit registers (q0-q15) onto the floating point registers. So if you reference Q0 it is the same as referencing D0-D1 or S0-S1-S2-S3.

Is this how SIMD is usually implemented in hardware? Have a set of circuitry that pushes one command to multiple registers?
The answer to this is increased access to birth control, obviously. /s

I wonder if white women will ever want to have children again...
Third point in the FAQ:

Why did it take so long to release?

Our engineering team was tasked with supporting
the release of the phone and then the now
announced Snappy project. The team cared deeply
about open sourcing this code and spent time
wherever they could spare in moving it forward,
cleaning up the code so it would work enough
outside of the very specific production
environment and untangle it of some commercial
code that was used at some point.
I dont think its sad to call some of the described behaviors and accommodations infantilization.

Higher ed is there to educate, prepare and provide networking and access to the job market. Very few people go with the end goal of learning for learning's sake. People attend higher ed as a vehicle to a better economic future. As such, coddling and comforting and extending parental protection institutionally does a disservice to people growing up and getting ready for the cold world out there which awaits all.

The world is by nature wild and unsanitized. I understand the need to want and bring about a better more civilized, if less natural world, but I don't think suppressing reality is the way to subjugate reality to our form.
The 'vanilla' implementation of Flux is very verbose, due to its declarative nature

The Relay system they're talking about is in reference to http://facebook.github.io/react/blog/2015/02/20/introducing-..., which is how Facebook manages data fetching at the component level.
I've asked this question many times to people deeply educated and versed in economics and never got a a good answer...
In a world of currency pairing (ratios)
A:B:C:D:E

Assuming parity among A:B:C:D, if each country prints 1 Trillion in their respective currency, what is the net effect aside from inflation 'potential'?
100:100, 1000:1000 .. It's still 1:1.
Assuming there are deflationary forces countering the inflationary force of printing, nothing changes beyond maintenance of status quo.

The more and more I look at this picture, the more it appears to be global maintenance of status quo to, in the face of destabilizing systemic forces, keep things stable via countering forces (printing)

The only thing I can see suffering here are the variables outside of the clown show :

> Natural resources

> Environment

^ (Economic system becomes disentangled with underlying condition of resources/environment)

I guess this is where the eventual selling of 'global control' of these variable comes....

A system headed to centralized control.
What you just described agrees with my definition. The ultimate goal of both teams was to end up with usable source code that is likely to be close or identical to the original used to create the binary. There is a slight difference in the IBM BIOS project in that, I think the goal was to create code which could not be claimed to infringe on the patents/copyrights of IBM. That last bit is an extension of reverse engineering, i.e. they reverse-engineered the binary (which took both decompilation and analysis) in order to create code which matched the same specification and wasn't outright "copied".

See the previous reply I made for links to discussion of what is usually meant by (software) "reverse engineering." But, like I said before, there probably is no "universally correct" definition, I am only describing it so that my previous comments can be understood fully.
The formal name for the browser is "User Agent".

Your agent should act in you, the user's, interest. Decidedly partisan and so what? You shouldn't have to explicitly instruct it to defend you from surveillance and pollution - it should do that of its own accord from day zero.

Or is your browser a double-agent?

The Amish are "intolerant" yet we tolerate their existence. Anybody that claims to value diversity should understand that for there to be differences that there has to be some sort of boundary between things, which crudely can be called "intolerance." The Amish are Amish because they are not us, they have separated themselves from us.
It does have some pretty fancy encryption hardware and Apple seems to have made it very difficult to do even with physical access.

David Schultz wrote a pretty comprehensive article about it:

http://www.darthnull.org/2014/10/06/ios-encryption
To note is that 1) the encryption is not set by default, 2) it is closed source, and 3) it's a VC-backed company without an option for users to pay for the service.
We don't live in a free society. If we lived in a free society, we would have to, from scratch, determine how best to cooperate. You complained about taxes: Taxes exist for a reason, because they are part of an enormously complex social structure whose main purpose is to support the concept of private property.

I am asking you to consider that if you want more freedom to love your kin, then maybe you ought to abolish the system of coercion that props up capitalism. It's not the taxes at fault. The taxes are there because without them, the system destabilizes. History teaches us that much. If you want private property, you're going to have taxes. The best you can hope for is to be the top of a feudal hierarchy where all the taxes feed into your estate. That does not endure, as we are all aware.

I don't think caring about everything means you want it to be homogeneous. I also reject globalization at a personal level, because I see it as a horribly violent system of interlocking political, social, and economic forces seeking to assimilate more and more of the world into their hierarchy of exploitation.

What I think it means to care about everything, is to not be myopic. It may be your intent to love your children, and even love them more than other children, but it may very well be that the best way to do so is to love all children. Is that unreasonable? It may be that the best way to love your children the most is to care about the entire ecosystem. Is that unreasonable? I think human beings are remarkably good at seeing the connections between things, and even if instinct is what tells us what is important, it is something far more dynamic and intelligent that tells us what is true.

If you want to be an individual, I think, personally, that it means you must find a society that supports the kind of individual you want to be.

I can't imagine being an individual without other human beings around. Realizing that, I see that my individuality is found in my community; my place in my community is part of my individuality.

I can't imagine being an individual without the world I live in. Realizing that, I see that my individuality is also found in my planet; how I treat the Earth is part of how I treat myself.

P.S. If we ever get to the point as a species where we can generate a new universe, I think it would be enormously important for every individual to contemplate what that means about what we are.
Hand-Coded Assembly Beats Intrinsics in Speed and Simplicity
Google recently confirmed that it's a server-side switch, so I'm guessing for me it's just not enabled yet. They're waiting for the rollout to switch it on.
To be pedantic, 1.5e8 carries additional information about accuracy: $150,000,000 ± $5,000,000. By contrast, 1.50e8 would be ten times as accurate, and so on.

Of course, accuracy is hardly relevant here.
I used to use ad-block and later disabled it to support websites that generate good content, but now I'm going back. What's driven me back to ad-blocking software is that ad tracking makes it nearly impossible to buy gifts for a spouse. If I want to buy my wife a pair of sunglasses and google "Ray Ban sunglasses", guess what she starts seeing ads for all over the web. We noticed this a while back and would do gift shopping in incognito mode, but I've gotten fed up enough with it that I'm just going to start blocking everything again.
How is downloading cracked software or stolen movies an ethical issue?
So you're saying we should bow down to these students, and we should stop teaching law students about rape law and not even use the word "violation" in terms of law to bow down to students' incredibly stupid wishes? Why not just abolish universities altogether? Hell, why not abolish laws and all of society while we're at it. Since it no longer matters that we're teaching students anything at all, only that they have a "supportive environment." What a load of shit.
"It can't be unethical because it's not illegal" is question-begging.
It's using a license that ensures that it'll probably stay dead; this is a reasonable criticism.

Anyone using the code is forced to "pass on the same freedom" to original code that's infected by the AGPL license.

Talk about entitlement.
Personally, I prefer manual sync like Burcu does. You have way better control with manual sync, imagine you were editing a video or had source code in your drive that was shared, any saves would toggle syncing. Also you could potentially clog up your bandwidth with auto syncing. Plus I can get to review a manifest of files before letting them get pushed. Lots of other features with manual sync such as `cat pipe | drive push --piped streamedContent` or `drive push -m ~/contentNotInDrive .` and many others. These would be very difficult to get in with auto-sync.

Usually it couldn't hurt to have more people look at your resume and give advice. Each of us can only know so much, and while you might not take your advice, it could be useful to hear.

Be wary that if you pay someone to work on your resume, it's no guarantee that you're more likely to get a job. And the resume is still just the key that opens the lock, you still have to get your foot in the door by doing well on the many levels of interview and screening.

We can always build a new city.
Building the Next New York Times Recommendation Engine
At the end of the day they are a scarce, highly demanded, revenue generating asset and as long as people are renting them, someone will price them appropriately (i.e. whatever the market will bear). It should be the city capturing that revenue instead of Mario's Medallion Rentals [1]. There are externalities to having a bunch of taxis clogging up traffic - $500 million per year in wasted time alone. The city is the one who spends to improve mobility.

At the end of the day taxi service is a business. Nobody goes homeless because of the scarcity of medallions for roaming taxicabs. Driving for a dispatch service or doing other work - yes, homeless - no. If you're suggesting that we do it as a subsidized public-works jobs program, I can think of much more deserving projects than driving a taxi. I'd rather have them driving subway trains instead, for starters.

[1] Note: the current system does not capture revenue for the city very effectively, but it should.
> can later be sold for as much or more than you initially paid

If the price is down by over 40% since pre-Über, that's questionable.
any good?
Is it ethical to block articles about ethics of ad-blocking?
USD$60 (£39) for a pair of scissors? Yes, that's definitely cured my decision paralysis. I'll choose the pair at Target for USD$3.99, thank you.
I think that the parents and college students dpcan was talking about are non-intersecting.
Seriously? Maybe you are trolling, to reinforce the point of the article. Otherwise, in context, I think using those words helped make the point of the attitude shift over time.
You get to control your computer, but there are some things which it's unethical to control your computer to do.

It would be unethical to prevent people from blocking ads, but that doesn't mean it's ethical for people to block ads.

(I'm not saying it's not ethical for people to block ads, just that I don't think your argument works.)
I believe the OP is talking about a car service, not a medallion taxi cab.

Oh yeah I get the part about flux being verbose :) Probably should have omitted that part and just asked about what they meant by the Backbone model cache.

Amazing. I don't know anything about the gentleman's background, but obviously the term "master machinist" is insufficient to describe him!
Yes, and according to the reddit post downthread, the dev came around from not understanding the utility of encrypting everything to deploying it across the app. I wonder if that has something to do with it not being behind a "premium" package...
I live in Galicia (Spain), near some of these villages. I've been to some of them personally and they are beautiful. Creating a tech community in one of them has crossed my mind several times.

Positive:

- Calm and beautiful places, surrounded by hills, forests, rivers... a good place to think and to develop new ideas.

- Affordable houses and terrains.

- Galician goverment gives money and help if you want to move in.

- Airports nearby, London is 3-4 hours away by plane.

Negative:

- Most of these buildings are in ruins.

- Poor infrastructure or none at all: you'll miss water, electricity and phone lines. No mobile communications, for sure. Phone companies don't help much either.

- Roads that lead there are often difficult and dangerous.

- No other villages or cities are close, so no hospitals, supermarkets or other services nearby.

Hope this helps.
Does it help women if we stop teaching law students about rape law? If you're defending the students in this piece, you're defending ending teaching law altogether as some students are offended by the word 'violation,' as in 'violation of the law.' You're defending infinite stupidity.
I don't know anything about MR in particular, but the open-sourcing process at Google often gets bogged down by how interconnected the codebase and ecosystem are. Releasing an open source version of a component means reimplementing a lot of stuff that Google isn't ready to release yet but that that component depends on. Look at Bazel/Blaze - it took them a long time to get it out, and the open version doesn't have feature parity. Also take a look at their governance plan going forward, which hints at the difficulties.[1]

That said, I suspect a large part of the reason is that Google's MapReduce is highly optimized for running in a Google datacenter, and they're generally pretty tight-lipped about the real secret sauce in their infrastructure.

Over 55% of all Androids at risk of high severity vulnerability
I'd be game for pretty much anything, honestly. Mobile or desktop, whatever. As a relative beginner, it's kind of daunting to approach a non-toy programming application, so I just find myself doing classical crypto applications (for example). Doing something actual, even if small and goofy, would be really cool.
Yeah, I don't know why you were downvoted so hard. Maybe the HN mob mentality just sides with the Uni students on this one, and they don't like being exposed to your differing opinions. ;)
You'll notice that this kind of thing only happens in groups where people can support each other's ideas, regardless of how ridiculous. Tea Partiers who scream about getting rid of immigrants. Green Peace activists who scream about getting rid of all uses of oil. Vegans who scream when someone cooks meat near them. Non-smokers who scream if they have to inhale cigarette smoke for 10 seconds.

There's always an in-group that validates perceived threats to the individual and amplifies the concern and the response until it reaches a fever pitch, and it remains there as long as the support base is there.

If it weren't for the fact that somebody has to pay their salaries, professors could ignore this behavior. Sadly, the academics are going to have to bend if they want to keep their jobs. It's the same in every other subculture; the mob gets their way as long as you are beholden to them for something.
I agree with you in spirit, but that's actually easier said then done in a professional environment.

One of the things that dissuaded me from ruby was the idioms that have surfaced recently. I was tired of submitting pull requests, only to have people tell me there was a "more idiomatic way" to do things, then rewriting things in a way I felt was less clear then what I had originally written.

My solution to that problem was to find a community who's idiomatic ideals more coincided with mine (which happens to be clojure), but I understand not everyone has that sort of luxury.
Would you say that pollution allocations (eg SO2 or CO2 credits) are also not a capital asset? I mean sure, you can buy them and sell them or take out an option against their future value. But you could just break the law and pollute without one perfectly fine.

I fundamentally disagree with that assertion. Legal compliance is just as valid a consideration as physical necessity. Just because you can dump toxic waste in the river doesn't mean that should be the baseline behavior. Congestion is basically a form of pollution - pollution of our traffic system.

The existence of taxi medallions is no more or less valid than the existence of liquor licenses. Societies regulate things that they deem to have negative externalities, film at 11. It doesn't matter that they have roots that you dislike (eg prohibitionism), what matters is the role we assign them in the present time.
As the original author of this post, I see your point. I don't mean to be blaming students...more so the admin in a sometimes desperate attempt to recruit and retain more and more (paying) customers. I worry that the whole system is unstable...I think things are more stressful compared to when I was an undergrad. I sometimes think we (faculty, admin, both) are making things worse in an attempt to make it better.
