Most importantly: it's very easy to end up with a huge CSS file that can't be compressed, and it makes everything more complicated.

Representing hierarchy in the class name makes the output shorter, in most cases, and makes the HTML and CSS code easier to understand. For instance, when you see <div class=title>, you need to go up to find context to understand what that "title" class is. If you have <div class=widget-title>, that's much better. Let alone that generic ("title") classes can lead to problems with conflicting rules depending on their specificity.

By the way, classes at the top level are faster to parse and apply.

The problem is that newer and better are not synonymous. And most Android users have probably learned by now that their devices getting slower with each update, not faster.
The bail amount should be a function of the defendant's means. That's the entire point of bail -- a collateral to make the defendant feel incentivized to show up for court.
> it's hard to believe that this far through the lifecycle the model S interior is so lacking.

Moving to America, I found it really interesting how many cars have every possible interior gadget known to man, but the important parts are crap. Not only did my 1996 North American car have a mirror on the passenger sun shade, that mirror had a cover, under that cover was a light, AND that light had a dimmer switch.

Of course, the body panels were built to the nearest 1/4inch and it leaked oil like a sieve, but my god the interior was nice.

I'm happy to see an automaker spending money on the bits that count, i.e. the drive train, rather than do the same drive train thing they've been doing for 50+ years and pretty up the interior.

If your personal choice is that interior > drive train, then that choice is right there for you to make, and you are free to make it.

> Treaties are not laws.

Well, I don't know what treaties are to the United Kingdom and Sweden, so I can't speak to the relevant matter, but there is a general sense (insofar as "international law" can be thought of as an actual concrete thing) that treaties are laws. To the United States, for example, treaties are explicitly treated as laws (see http://law.justia.com/constitution/us/article-2/18-treaties-...). Most other countries take their treaty obligations very seriously, although the actual mechanics depend on each country's legal/political system.

A colleague had his ex file for child support, putting him suddenly thousands of dollars in the hole (it was backdated to when they separated, not when she asked for suppor) because he's not from a socioeconomic class that keeps thousands of dollars hanging around.

That left him unable to renew his driver's license, drastically impacting his ability to get work and pay child support.

He now, for unrelated reasons, has full custody of his kids. But he still can't get a driver's license to get a job to support his kids because he's still behind on that child support. For the kids he has in his house.

He deserves some responsibility for this, but it's like the system wants him to fail and fail hard.

Just realized this trend of examining people watching TV (then creating blogs and articles about it) is the ultimate point of the narcissistic tendency of our society (right next to the selfie). Now, the show isn't the show itself, but our reaction to it. I've got an idea, why don't you monitor my heart rate while i'm reading this article about monitoring people's heart rate ? Then you could post something about it.

I feel like everything we do is now a desperate attempt at gaining people's attention, from behind our computer (i'm thinking especially about videos of people screaming while viewing an episode of GOT). Maybe that's because the "real life" occasions of binding with others are fading one after another. Makes me wonder if having no workplace for your employees is such a good idea after all.

Also makes me wonder how long it will take until the next generation will simply unplug.
Just a little quibble... if 100% of the bail bond is returned to the accused, how exactly does the bail bond company make money?

If the bail bond company can't make money on the deal, they won't offer their services...

Which would end up making it harder for the relatively poor to make bail...

How about this: Just get rid of bail entirely for low level offenses. When a minor crime is expected to be charged, bring the suspect in, fingerprint and identify them, give a court date, then... let them go home.
>I am out $3,000 and I have an arrest on my record for something that was simply a false accusation!

"In other words, it is because the tax code allows those with a greater investment in studying the tax code and in playing stupid accounting shell games to pay less in taxes."

No. It means, you don't pay taxes on a loss.

"You end up only taxing the winners in the economy--those who are getting richer--and never more than they could reasonably afford to lose."

You mean the people making a profit? Yes, this is how it should work...and who really cares if they can 'reasonably afford' to lose it? Taxes aren't punishment..but the tone of your post makes me feel like that's what you think it is.

The US already has one of the highest corporate tax rates in the world. If many corporations are trying to subvert it, it's a message to lower that rate.

The top 10% pay ~90% of the all the federal taxes. I'm not sure why there continues to be complaints about not paying a person's "fair share". It's already more than fair.

I do mind that when Cortana and its supporting options are explicitly disabled, Win 10 apparently still won't stop chattering back with HQ constantly. Not only for privacy reasons either; it seems (though I'm not certain of the relationship) to have a substantial, though intermittent rather than constant, impact on performance.

We'd love to do a validation study to get a definitive answer to this question.

Anecdotally, the Apple Watch is within about 5bpm of my AliveCor (an FDA-approved medical device), even while running. And it's been similarly accurate on most (but not all) patients in arrhythmias.

That said, we know accuracy will vary across skin tone, body mass index, pulse pressure, sweat, and we need to understand that more precisely before the AW can start to have real medical applications.
The criminal justice system determines if the accused is innocent. The arrest is a separate action.

In fact, if you are convinced that is IS a wrongful arrest, you may legally resist arrest, tell the officer, and he is supposed to let you present evidence of your innocence. However, it doesn't HAVE to be claimed at the time of arrest.

I was curious in OP's case because of the "no charges filed and case rejected for lack of any evidence at all" line. It seems to me, that would be enough reason to claim wrongful arrest and at least get compensation for the bail bond.
HDDs cost more because they consist of technologies understood and implemented in factories for long. Manufacturing of SSDs is different, and it'll take some time for manufacturing companies to get up to speed, at least to overtake the scaled assembly line operations of HDD manufacturing.

My bet is by the end of next year, SDDs will be cheaper than their equally sized HDDs. HDDs are certainly on their way out.
if they really wanted to make waves they would unveil the world's fastest AND the world's largest hard-drive, two in one, with an onboard battery and hybrid 64, 128, or 256 GB of RAM (not SSD) in 2x, 4x, or 8x 32gig dimms exposed as a physical Drive, costing +/- $800, $1600, and $3200 respectively, in addition to the 16 TB second physical drive, all integrated in one package so you can't disconnect the battery and nuke your lightning-fast drive without being extremely aware that you're doing so.

The hard drives would have ironclad firmware that keeps the RAM refrehsed until its battery goes down to 15% (or whatever the conservative 10 minutes of power is), at which point it takes the ten minutes to dump the contents of that RAM to SSD, and reverts to having that drive also be SSD until the power is reconnected long enough to charge battery back up to 80%. Then it reads it back into RAM and continues as a Lightning Fast 64 GB + Very fast 16 TB drive.

You would store your operating system on the lightning-fast drive.

The absolute nightmare failure state isn't even that bad, as even though the RAM drive should be as ironclad as SSD, in case it ever should lose power unexpectedly through someone opening the device and disconnecting the battery or something, it can still periodically be backed up, so that if you pick up the short end of six sigma, you can just revert to reading the drive from SSD rather than RAM and lose, say, at most 1 day of work.

thoughts? I bet a lot of people would be happy to pay an extra $800 to have their boot media operate at DIMM speed, as long as the non-leaky abstraction is that it is a physical hard drive, and the engineering holds up to this standard.

There is a lot of software out there that is very conservative about when it considers data to be fully written - it would be quite a hack for Samsung to hack that abstraction by doing six or seven sigma availability on a ramdrive with battery and onboard ssd to dump to.

> in a civilized country if a company tries to use mandatory-accept 300 page terms and conditions

If you don't like 300 pages of ToS then don't buy Windows. It's your free choice. Software should be protected speech. I don't like Windows 10, but then I also think that Microsoft should have the right to write Windows however they like as long as they don't factually lie in their privacy statement and other documents.

The person who sold you Windows should've informed you of the license.
I haven't worked with the Apple Watch, but for the Microsoft Band, the SDK will return a confidence level for the heart rate. I think both devices usually display the number regardless of confidence level to the user, sometimes with a signification that it is still acquiring your heart rate.
He has a set of favorite authors, listed in the article. He is fluent in Korean, but not from Korea. There's one guy who fits.
I think the proper check is:

// size_t size;
// uint64_t chunk_size;

if (chunk_size >= SIZE_MAX - size) {
return ERROR_MALFORMED;
}

Due to size being a size_t and SIZE_MAX being well a maximum size_t, SIZE_MAX-size is properly calculated. The comparison with chunk_size is also properly done (due to the C promotion rules - as strange as they are, they do work "as expected" when your values are nonnegative, which they are here).

Also, I am slightly puzzled why one would use SIZE_MAX as a limit rather than some "small" number, like a few megabytes or whatever is a reasonable bound for this buffer. In this case the fix may be a bit more complex than this: if (chunk_size >= SIZE_MAX - size || size + chunk_size > the_limit) .

Vsdocs: nice documentation template (themeforest)
Well, yeah, but if you want to iterate over integer ranges, don't you use the for ;; {} form? (If not why is that form even there?) I'd expect the TFA's Mandelbrot set example to need iterating over integer ranges (while most code I'd actually write myself would iterate over elements of sequences.)

All I'm saying is, it's a lot of syntax to inhale, there are plenty of kinds of for loop. I certainly don't mind, and I'd be happy enough with "the modal for loop" being DRY and compact. I just recall that my former self had trouble memorizing grammar cases. Python's for loop always does for value in sequence, so there's less syntax.

Regarding exporting OTP settings: My solution was to use Titanium Backup on the Google Authenticator app, extract secret keys from that data, use them to create GA-compatible setup QR codes for each account, and save those QR codes in KeePass.

You could likely do something similar with FreeOTP, once that's done you can easily restore your codes without root. (And from then on be sure to save any future setup QR codes you use.)
Needs more symmetry, I think: Unicorn Accounting Principles (UAP), by analogy with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). There should also be UFRS (for IFRS).

We're not nearly at Stripe's scale, but my startup (Spreemo) has achieved pretty amazing parallelism using the commercial SaaS CircleCI. We have 3907 expects across 372 RSpec and Cucumber files. Our tests complete in ~14 minutes when run across 8 containers.

One of the great strengths for CircleCI is that they auto-discover our test types, calculate how long each file takes to run, and then auto-allocate the files in future runs to try to equalize the run times across containers. The only effort we had to do was split up our slowest test file when we found that it was taking longer to complete than a combination of files on the other machines.

I also like that I can run pronto https://github.com/mmozuras/pronto to post Rubocop, Rails Best Practices, and Brakeman errors as comments on Github.
That's the problem, tape isn't going anywhere. A decade back, it boasted a huge capacity advantage. Now with all the newer tech, the spinning media storage advantages, etc, it can barely hold a big drives worth of data. And the tape drives are expensive... Lto7 should hold like 50T on a this and dollar tape drive to look really interesting again.
>When that net loss is averaged to units sold (which is a common metric for measuring financial performance in the automotive industry)

I agree the metric is common, but it is an invalid comparison for Tesla. The other car companies have mature product lines. The model S is their only production line, and they are spending money on development for the Model X and the Model 3.

If any car company were developing 2 vehicles for every 1 they have in production, then it would be a valid comparison. Comparison metrics have to be evaluated in the context of the company's overall life cycle. The art of valuing companies lies in choosing the relevant metrics to compare.

Tesla has lowered their current year estimates from 55,000 to 50,000 to 55,000, due to uncertainty about the Model X go live. And it hit their stock price... However, they have not changed their long term goal or time frame for get their factory to maximum capacity of 500,000 vehicles around 2020.

But, that's pretty much a well-established pattern (Microsoft has done it with lots of things before, but so has Apple and lots of other companies, its not particular to Microsoft) -- if someone realizes an opportunity you didn't, you attack them for it and try to get the market to see the product as unnecessary or even abusive, right up until you are ready to push something that exploits the same opportunity.

Yes, you're right that most frontend developers already rely on Node for various tasks.

This would be most helpful for those who still haven't introduced Node as a dependency and trying hard to get away without it :)

In any case, as I mentioned in another comment, the fact that one can write a minimal preprocessor in ~30 LOC could be useful to start a conversation about the current state of the art regarding frontend development.
I feel that as well. We are told it will be a while until we see anything beyond single digit TB and suddenly Samsung drops a massive bomb with 16TB? I doubt that an average consumer would use 16TB but who knows. Also I have some qualms about storing on SSD knowing the data won't last forever
Fighting insurance fraud is exactly what the previous commenter was referring to, I'm sure. Joe Citizen stops, backs into you, then claims you rear-ended him. Or a pedestrian throws himself on your hood, claims you ran over him. There are montages floating around (too lazy to look, sorry) that demonstrate this. It's worth searching for, as they're pretty hilarious yet sad at the same time.
Google, as a stock
This Alphabet transaction/reorg. got me thinking:

Why should any investor pay a multiple (expensive, by the way) and get exposure to Google Ventures/Google Capital/Google's other crazy ideas, when he/she can just invest in Sequoia, A16Z, KKR, and other VC, growth equity, or private equity managers at book value?

Other than Google Search/You Tube (what'll be under the new Google CEO), it's basically a bunch of VC-like bets right? Does Google have any great track record that would make an investor consider "buying shares in its VC fund at a multiple"?

Would love to hear some opinions on this theme.
How to Get Bill Gates to Talk About You or Your Business
I think the intent of HIPAA is good, but in practice, it's a big barrier to a lot of medical advancements. It's less the letter of the law itself, to be honest, and more the penumbra of fear that develops around any complex law. We saw the same thing on healthcare.gov.

There was a great article about this a while ago, but I can't seem to find it now.

Overall, I'm pretty happy with the approach the FDA and other regulatory bodies are taking to digital health -- mostly hands-off, but stepping in to stop pure snake oil apps that really have the potential for harm. That seems like a good balance.
