I used to ride one at the University of Leeds in the 1980s. It served a five floor lecture theater known for its brutalist 1960s architecture [1].

I rode it over the top on several occasions - the car went up one side, slid horizontally and then came down again. It was a good way to queue jump but allegedly could cause the whole system to jam, in which case the people caught in the middle would be carpeted. It's now been decommissioned, apparently.

Yes. Well, maybe a few thousand.
Besides linkedIn, it would be nice to have an additional field to put additional comments into that... About you, your profile, e.g. Information you don't like to provide to the public.

What material is actually used in your linked shield for "Schnüffel-Chips" [fantastic word!] ? Is it just foil lined or is there a mesh, what material is the mesh and what pitch?

I'd imagine you could have an active mask too [eg just a RFID with false data] that would return some signal just not the one being sought.

San Francisco has knocked down almost no older cheaper residential buildings in the last several years. And the one that they did that I can think of (Trinity Place) deals were made to allow the previous tenants to live in the new building at their old rents for the rest of their lives.
More like incredibly pissed and disillusioned than scared (in the US-meaning, not UK-meaning of 'pissed'). The article reads like us Germans are a bunch of tin-hat weirdos, and indeed, pre-Snowden I would have agreed and laughed at these silly people who think they're watched at every step, it's all just conspiracy theories right, it's all over since 1990, the secret service has no longer power over people etc etc etc?

Post-Snowden is an entirely different world, and I feel like the last 25 years were for nothing. The worst and silliest conspiracy theories turned out to be indeed true. The 'Free West' which was such a powerful and wonderful vision for the East German youth turned out to be just another variation of a surveillance state, just with a prettier paint-job.

So yeah, I'm incredibly pissed at the German and US governments and the secret services. The sad thing is that nothing at all would change with a different government.

Design feedback :

1) Great name.

2) Font, image quality look good.

3) Looks okay on mobile. iOS Chrome the hamburger overlay font color is too faint, background bleeds through the overlay too much and distracts and obscures readability.

4) YOU NEED to have a FAQ menu in the top bar there. C'mon.

Cost benefit thoughts :

1) When I saw 499 I immediately thought the following :

A) Typical "enterprise" price point.

B) A single free instance on GCE/GAE can do 2 million static views a month. Why would I pay 15 USD a day to do that ?

2) Contrary to the detractors, "of course" this is worth the benefit, so long as you make the cost low enough. How low is low enough -- well, if you say pay 2c per view ( 499 ), sure I get that it makes sense from the model of :

-- Customer acquisition < 10 USD

-- Custom support, on ramp costs, < 10 USD

-- 2c per view to cut onboarding costs, FTW!

However, for developers, your main audience, 2c per view doesn't work from the following model:

-- 5 million views per month ( say 2 paid GAE instances )

-- 10 GB outgoing traffic

-- 730 GB memcache

-- 2 GB doc storage

Total GCE Calculated Estimate : ~ 60 USD a month.

Estimates at : https://cloud.google.com/products/calculator/#id=341a6f6c-8a...

Why would I pay you 8x that ?

Developers think like this.

Finally if you feel the work load for you of serving 2M views per month is going to justify 500 / month per customer, it works to have a more efficiently scalable workflow, or a lower personal burn, or higher growth ambitions, or all three!

I used one in the Arts Tower of Sheffield University where I studied. It was fun, but felt slow. There were also 2 (3?) conventional elevators that seemed like the best bet when doing more than 5 floors.

Wonder how much anchoring effect there is (sample numbers are given in the original question). I note the sample numbers are generated by javascript -- are they testing the impact of those numbers?

Also, I don't see why N-step arguments are invalid; everyone who went for the Nash Equilibrium is wrong (the average is not 3/2 * 0); you just need to predict how many step-thinkers people are :P

Came here to say this. Can't recommend useronboard enough.
It's unclear to me why there needs to be any biometric information at all, on an ID card for use in a modern country like Germany. A chip-and-pin card with a ID number on it and your name (the latter simply so that you don't mix up your card with that from someone else). All the rest goes in a database.

The police can look up your "Virtual ID card" based on your ID number or from other information (a fingerprint, retina scan, name, etc.). Non-security institutions (other government agencies, a bank, whoever) do so only with your permission... you put your card into a smart reader, confirm with your pin, and your "virtual ID card" is shown to the person confirming your identity.

All access to the system is logged (including the police) so that the user can see who's pulled up his info.

How did difficult to assail ideas like Freedom of Speech come about?

I mean, speech can obviously be dangerous, lead to actions, incite, etc. But, unlikeable speech will garner some support when repressed because freedom of speech must be preserved.

When it comes to surveillance and a lot of other liberty relevant stuff, we don't seem to be able to draw lines. Regulations, promises and policies seem to be enough "as long is it doesn't get into the wrong hands."

What we end up with is a predictable immediate slide. Surveillance laws enacted to allow authorities to pursue terrorists are used in general policing. Financial restrictions enacted to fight organized crime, and "money laundering" end up restricting financial freedoms of anyone getting caught up in the "risk review" dragnet and being denied basic financial services.

Anyway, Germany and their living memory of the Stazi is a potential flag bearer for the freedoms that we are losing quickly.
Interesting to see the note about nested functions being returned. C# and F# both do this, and I'd guess Java will too, once it gets them. In fact, it seems downright wrong to not allow returning nested functions in a GC language that has closures.

Precise?? You're joking right?
Given that the number of bits necessary to encode a message is highly depending on the way your message is interpreted..

If your bits are interpreted as either black or white, I need only 1 bit to send a message indicating a color, if your bits are ASCII strings I need more bits to send the same information..

The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov is possibly my favourite magical realism book. I found that some of David Mitchell's writing is similar to Murakami, specifically number9dream, Ghostwritten and Cloud Atlas.
Through reading Murakami I've gotten into Kobo Abe, he shares that weirdness with him and are very Kafkaesque, I loved The Woman in the Dunes and The Box Man.

The problem with reward/punishment strategies is that rewards are inevitably deferred; and people who are in problematic situations likely have much lower ability to deal with deferred satisfaction. That's just how it is.

Unfortunately, because bureaucracy is mostly run by people with great skills in the area, this fact is really hard to get across, or is even rejected outright. After all, if I-Court-Judge or I-Politician could keep it together enough to get where I am, why can't anybody else manage just a little bit? And then the morality discourse kicks in and there is no way out.

People have claimed that "Sweden has links to NATO" as a reason why Sweden might extradite Assange to USA[1]. So, yes, the fact that the UK co-founded NATO is very definitly relevant.

I never got the hang of 99% of explanations of call/cc.

Very simple explanation: continuations are goto/jumping.

Simple explanation: continuations are goto/jumping where a value is passed from the place of jumping to the place being jumped goes to.

Explanation: continuations implement goto/jumping where a value is passed to wherever the jump goes to. The call/cc command does three things: (1) create and name a place to jump to, (2) hide this place from the outside, and (3) provide a function that accepts the value passed upon being jumped to. The throw command jumps to the state place and carries the value to be passed in jumping.
I've seen it mentioned here and there that one isn't supposed to ride it all the way around (that is, on the horizontal sections), but the reason escapes me. If you stay inside the cabin, what exactly can go wrong? (serious question) Getting stuck doesn't seem logical, why would the probability of the paternoster stopping increase when there is a (modest) load on the horizontal sections?

From my limited experience with video production, if you want to make something good, a decent camera is only the start. There are a whole bunch of things that'll make your production look like crap if not done right. But if I have to call out three, they would be

1) Tight pacing (script+editing)

2 ) On camera talent (whether shooting fiction or documentary)

3 ) sound capture (if doing sync sound at all)

Given a basic level of image quality, say that from a 5D mark II, the above three factors will make or break your production. Not a more expensive camera.

Borges short stories - some of my favourites are very accessible: The Garden of Forking Paths and The Aleph. Some of his stories are difficult to read and make more sense as you know the author better. He wrote interesting works such as reviews on fictitious books.

I remember using something slightly similar (Though more rudimentary) in my final year Computer Forensics degree. The task was to leave a 'breadcrumb trail' of evidence for another group leading to files that would condemn us as child sex traffickers. Our group hid the password to a certain archive file in a single track of a Cannibal Corpse album. I think the track was 'Festering in the Crypt'. When the track was viewed as a wave graph, the password was clearly visible. Much fun was had leaving subtle hints to our counter group that they had to listen to the whole album backwards to glean the password. I don't think they ever solved it. Cannibal Corpse was selected because any distortion from changing the wavelengths to hide the password would be very hard to pick up.

The annulaised return of the S&P 500 was 10.82% from 1970 to 1990. Which is grand but doesn't take into account inflation.

Adjust for inflation and the annualised return was 4.33%

So I am rolling to disbelieve that median 20 year return is 10%

If I didn't miss something this just replaces - depending on the quality setting - the least significant 2, 4 or 8 bits of every 16 bit sample with the data to be hidden. This is trivial to detect and will not survive any lossy compression.

Maybe this cute 'moticon trend is trendy, but for my buck$, I'd rather things just be kept simple. My eyeballs see (っ˘▽˘)っ :cloud: ⊂(◕。◕⊂) as line-noise, mostly, and make me wonder if there are other such typo's to be found in the attached code-base.
