That's great that you had the mental fortitude to make it through that. For many, being broke and homeless is the very bottom and is psyche-destroying (people are so afraid of it, we even have a phenomenon named for it - Last Place Aversion: http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/occupy-wall-street...) You may not like the poor changes your mind thing, and why would anyone? That doesn't make it wrong. For example:

I'm also referring to the incredible narrowing of choices that you're left with (this one I've experienced first-hand, and by a read of these comments many here have experienced it as well), which you are surely well aware of. Don't let "what you don't like" or "what should/should not be" dictate your interpretation of the reality. I don't like that stuff either, but I'm not going to deny its real effects. It's not only callous, it's not correct.

But then a lot of things wouldn't be able to exist.

Siri needs collective anonymous data to work and improve itself. Ads, like them or not, cannot function without large collections of data. No attempt to predict customer behaviour is possible, no usage analytics, no cutting edge improvements, a lot of cool things wouldn't be possible.

It's just how it is.

Hackathons are great for the CS undergrad who just learned how to make an iOS app. It's a good way to push yourself to solidify a skillset, especially while in school. Students don't necessarily have time to be doing side projects (although they should make time). Getting a bunch of work done in one big spurt can be very beneficial.

That being said, I personally don't enjoy them. Free food is great, but I would much rather be working on one of my long-term projects. Also, I think hackathons are targeted a little bit too much towards newbies, rather than experienced devs.

As far as the anti-foreign investment sentiment goes, it sounds repulsive on face value, but those of us (Indians) who've lived in the US would want a Walmart (just as an example) destroying all the mom and pop shops? I think a cautious approach for foreign investment is the way to go, the income inequalities in India is already pretty bad, opening the floodgates without adequate measures of certain protectionist policies (not blanket protectionism) would make it worse. We need to realize that India is too big a market for multi-national companies to ignore completely; the Indian govt. should have the upper hand in any deal. And it should strike a deal which is in the interest of the Indian people.

> A good piece of writing - quite critical about the country, but also comes from a place of affection for the country.

I'm not sure where you're reading "affection" from. Rogers has been predicting and even actively cheerleading India's financial decline consistently for literally two decades. He even closes the article with a claim that is laughably ignorant[0] of historical facts, and just reeks of colonial apologism.

> India really is not a rational country. The English mushed India together in the panic of independence in 1947, but little heed was given to ethnic, religious, linguistic, historic, national, or geographic considerations which is one reason India has had problems with every one of its neighbors since. India as we know it will not survive another 30 or 40 years. This of course does not have to end in disaster, but it probably will given the chauvinism of its government and the way history has always worked.

The reason that India has been at war is because the world's then-largest superpower[1] (the British) openly declared that they wanted to start a civil war in India, and then actively funded terrorist[2] groups to ensure that it happened.

There are people in the US who have affection for India. Rogers is not one of them.

[0] No, I don't think that Rogers is actually ignorant of history; I'm saying he chooses to ignore history.

[1] India's fight for independence was just around the time that the US took over that epithet from the British

[2] That word didn't exist then, but that's absolutely what we would call them today

Interesting as it is, the silk and the history of the family, it seems odd that Vigo teaches weaving it to a few people but not how to make it shine. Or at least it wasn't specifically mentioned about the process of lemon juice and spices.

This strikes me more as keeping it a secret within the family more than protecting people from God. Business failed sure but that's no reason to keep the process of making it shine a secret if she is hit by a bus or drops dead that's it for the knowledge.

They are all humans, one the same as the other. The geographic location of birth should be irrelevant to whether I want to help someone (realistically, my gut can't help but empathize and feel closer to people born in my country, but the head should surely take over and kick that superficial notion to the curb).
People use PayPal for the same reason banks use email, not because either is secure or reliable, but simply because people make decisions by following the crowd. As long as people think PayPal (or Yelp) has a big crowd of users, they'll use it's popularity as a substitute for critical selection, and consider it a "legitimate" choice.
Yeah, of course the numbers would be smaller if there was no such button, nobody is saying otherwise. They're just stating that nobody was forced to use Pocket after the integration.

First paragraph of wiki has a good definition - "Gazumping occurs when a seller (especially of property) accepts an oral offer (a promise to purchase) on the property from one potential buyer, but then accepts a higher offer from someone else. It can also refer to the seller raising the asking price or asking for more money at the last minute, after previously orally agreeing to a lower one. In either case, the original buyer is left in a bad situation, and either has to offer a higher price or lose the purchase"

I think I remember in the early days there being pushback from content providers about not getting clickthroughs, ad impressions. What's the status of this type of service re: copyright?

You're conveniently ignoring the other's side of the argument: such as importing poverty, low wage or unskilled workers, crime, racism, xenophobia, radical ideologies and religions, incompatible views and behavior, things such as "no-go" zones, and all the other things that European countries and seeing with non-European immigration, is not a net benefit to society.

The rise of the native push-back against immigration is an effect of, and not a cause of the trouble.

Combined with a grim economic situation and dwindling economic opportunities (such as gainful employment) is also not helping much with integration matters.

Hence why people "stuck in your own isolationist filter bubble" are against it.

> Switzerland also takes refugees

But only those with more than 10 Million $ in their pockets. But now seriously, Switzerland is NOT taking any noticeable number of refugees. In the current political situation a suggestion to take refuges would be suicide for every politican.

Step by Step Guide to move domain name without losing SEO Value
Perhaps you're being downvoted because your source does not once refer to immigrants, refugees or migrants. You've presented no evidence which suggests that migrants (a particularly self-selecting group) are a uniform sampling of the population of the countries that they hail from. You've made quite an assumption there. If your polls showed the opinions of Muslims already in Western European countries, then maybe we could start to talk about the ramifications of culture clashes. As it stands now, you're looking for what you want to see: "Muslims are scary!".

I'd venture to say that people, in general, that are willing to move (east to west, or west to east) are probably more inclined to adapt to the place where they are going than the ones that stay in their country of origin.
I've been using colorbrewer to make maps for many years now, nice to see her getting some recognition.
I assumed it would only be players buying them as well, and it would be interesting to know how many Blizzard actually buy. There's a huge difference in the price of tokens in different regions, and I wonder if that's partially due to manipulation by Blizzard to make tokens less valuable in regiouns like North America where people will pay more money for less gold.

But I think you're misjudging negative reaction people have to "pay to win." Maybe I'm not correctly reading the average player, but I don't think it's so much a matter of Blizzard having to keep up the appearance of fairness. The underground gold market has been around for so long and in so many games that people expect that money can buy in-game currency. There are other games which are designed to be fair like first-person shooters, but part of the draw of MMOs is that they are explicitly not fair. Coming in as a new player, you have to compete against people with significant gear advantages, and there's an aspect of this that's actually ego-boosting. If you can compete with people who have more resources, not necessarily win but at least operate close to their level, you can feel good about your skill, and when someone else has an advantage, you can excuse it because you know the system isn't fair. It's the same with games of chance, where you know that some of your failings are attributed to bad luck and not your own failings.

Where "pay to win" goes bad is when you feel like you need to fork over excessive amounts of money to compete at all and feel like the game is just trying to squeeze you for money. But the way WoW is designed, it's relatively easy to get to the gear level of other players, and what's really valuable is having people who you can work closely with. In the time it takes to develop those relationships, you will have more than enough put into the game to have the resources you need to compete. Although gold can be a nice boost and snag a few top-notch pieces of gear, it's mostly unnecessary, and the really expensive items are usually vanity items.

So the unfairness is actually only a small part of the game which serves to excuse personal failings, and the really valuable resources: friends, time, and skill, are things which can't be bought.

“Taking a conversation offline provides evidence of intent because if you’re trying to cover your tracks, you probably know what you’re doing is wrong,”

I can't tell if this is big business trying to make investigating white collar crimes harder or the federal government trying to drum up support for mass surveillance. I'm leaning towards the former based on where the article is.
Interesting idea. But the "U.S." isn't giving these countries weapons. Various people from the U.S. may be doing that, I know that U.S. citizens (those of which any refugees would suddenly be living next to) didn't vote to give weapons to Syrian armies. But if you have proof of it (and I'm not saying you don't) you've then got to find out how the deal was made. Also you want to blame the gun sellers and not the gun shooters.

I get what you're trying to do. In your mind, before Europe and the U.S. (before white people) the middle east was paradise blah blah. And Western countries are intent to simply destabilize everything right, to some end.

What I don't understand is the millions of refugees are somehow not able to form their own country. What army in the world now has as many as these of age male refugees? If we are to welcome these refugees, we'd be assuming that they can melt into the shared values of the culture, follow the rules, etc. And if we assume that, then we can assume they can cooperate amongst themselves. So why are they not doing so and forming a peaceful country? Hmm, well maybe we have been BUT it hasn't worked out well.

I don't know - the second Picasso/Brad Pitt would make for a good instagram filter.

I think if there was some level of semantic tagging and weighting of different aspects of an artist's technique it might do better - identify sky, water, buildings, faces, plants, etc (none of which is particularly beyond the capability of current image classifiers), then it might produce better results. I could easily imagine this turning into a 'Rembrandtize Me' selfie-filtering app.

Then it's really only a matter of time before the extension of these techniques moves to 'make my vacation photos look like they were taken by Ansel Adams', then 'show me Star Wars as if Alfred Hitchcock had directed it', or 'play me Smells Like Teen Spirit as if it had been sung by Elvis'.

Just a random note - https://getpocket.com/ lists 17,000,000 users on their badge @ the bottom, last update I found was in April @ 12m (1), and this article highlights 20m

Back in the day when we built the Trapster.com website (prior to the Nokia team takeover) we a/b tested a static user # that we updated monthly vs. a # that changed and was specific to usage / etc.

We found that the specific was a significant conversion driver and we executed several tests to get that message closer to the top (2).

Of course this was also back in the day where consumers looked on desktops for the app to download vs. the modern trained user that looks on app store.

But maybe something to consider moving up the page and building a script to execute more frequently.

The actual operations on text buffers are going to be the hardest part to implement in python performantly.
Agreed. Sellers and buyers of domain names (or web sites) selling for at least $300 should use an escrow service. The fee is around $25 and can usually be split between parties.

Just think about the price you're paying/selling the site for. If the amount is more than you're willing to lose, use an escrow service.
Its more about bandwidth vs capacity vs dollars. The optimum changes as the technologies change.
There are two types of coding interviews that I have encountered in the last few years.

One is a grueling several hour interview on data structures and algorithms taught in college-level CS classes. These are typically data structures and algorithms that are almost never implemented in real work. They have been known for decades and are now incorporated in most computer programming languages, libraries, and toolkits. Experienced software developers with CS degrees typically have not used this knowledge in years and need to brush up. Experience software developers with other degrees or purely self-taught software engineers often never learned these at all -- or in a very limited way.

Thus this first type of coding interview is geared toward hiring new college graduates, very strong new college graduates, with a CS degree. It effectively discriminates against experienced/older candidates.

The other type of coding interview is a grueling test on specific languages, tools, algorithms, data structures etc. that the candidate would use in the actual job they are interviewing for.

Both types of coding interviews don't necessarilly identify the ability to learn and adapt to new technologies or many other skills that are critical in many technical jobs.

The coding interviews tend to favor candidates who have both the time and inclination to drill heavily on the typical coding interview test questions.

Contrary to the writer's comments, there are a large number of non-white "Asians" in software development jobs. Asian cultures and educational systems often favor this type of heavy drilling and practice on specific skills.
