I'm not Scottish but I live in the Highlands. I think it's less to do with nationalism and more to do with to do with security of tenure. A lot of rural housing and farmland is owned by these large estates. The houses that have not been converted to holiday lets are often badly maintained and leased on very short term tenancies by absentee landlords. Tenant farmers on these estates have the additional problem that they can be also be evicted from the farmland.
Not true - there are reasons not to do it on the client instead. Consider a web email client instead. It's not feasible to login to the site, download a full archive of your email, decrypt it, and index it before being able to do a search.

I wonder how many responses of :

Still, anyone here have a good hack that can just nuke days of his time whilst completing this form? Only other one I can think of him using is (for Matlab):

"... way to get really cheap domains that I can turn a very generous profit on via domain parking"

Lost all respect for the author once I read that. Squatting on domains and making people who want to legitimately use the domains pay far above market rate is ridiculously scummy.
It's intellectually dishonest to suggest that people let the destitute into their own homes, but not for people to suggest the same for your home?

It's easy to suggest how someone else's resources (time, money, and effort) should be handled but it's something else to do it yourself.

>I always thought this would be very interesting way to have player generated content, where they would have to build defences to protect their player/gold while offline. Other players could launch raids to try to steal it.

Not an MMO but the first-person survival/crafting game Rust features that concept, your character sleeps on the ground when you're offline and anybody is free to loot or kill you.
It gives a whole other dimension to the game, with players being assigned to defend a clan's base at set hours and calling them in when the base needs defending, I've even seen people skip work early to defend against major raids.
I'm going to guess all of it
"You should have known better" is not fraud protection. PayPal is entirely in the wrong here.
How would you end up with

if (rc < 0) return rc;
goto fail;

Why would you indent hat next line? Presumably because you were trying to add it to the existing if statement's non-existant block. But why would you do that if you don't see a block?

The problem with

if (rc < 0)
return rc;

is that we see the indentation and infer that there must be a block, so it's tempting to try to add to the block.

When you keep your entire conditional statement on one line, it looks, to someone scanning the code, like just any other line. It doesn't look like a block at all, in fact it looks more like a function call.
None. There was a new icon introduced, but nobody was forced to create an account. You can use the reading mode just fine without Pocket.

"Dying" is a pet peeve of mine. Usually it's not true.

The desktop form factor is declining significantly in popularity in the mainstream market in favor of laptops and mobile devices. The reason is obvious: laptops and mobiles are portable, and the average user (and even many pro users) do not need that much power in their local device.

It's still very popular in the gamer and professional workstation market, and likely will be for a long time. It's just hard to cram the processing power that gamers, hard-core developers, CAD and simulation users, etc. need into something as small as a laptop without creating what's comically referred to as a "ball burner" or "weenie roaster." I'm sure there's a female equivalent expression but it's even less polite. :P

Intel has many-core options for these machines, but they tend to lag a little behind. If you have deeper pockets and really want power you can always put a high-end GPU in a server board with 2-4 Xeons and put it in a tower case. Now you have a data center node with a 4K monitor on it.

In any case Corporations aren't people, and MSFT servers in Ireland probably belong to MSFT IE/EU which is a separate legal entity (which is why MSFT can say we don't have it).
There is also a difference between a warrant an, order and a subpoena in this case and 1000's other issues that I also as some one who's not a lawyer can't even begin to imagine.

But you know who is a lawyer, MSFT's head legal council and i hear he also got a bunch others with him so i would think they would figure out how to handle this.
But in general various agreements and treaties govern how law enforcement agencies and legal systems of different countries interact, some countries might accept a signed US court order (Canada for example), for others you will have to go through the extradition process codified in a treaty, and the list goes on and on and on.

With several exception a court can't compel you to do anything if you violate a Subpoena you will be found in contempt and maybe charged for that, and while you can call that compelling It's not since the court will not actually force you to do anything.

Certainly some jargon is typical in spoken environments but rarely necessary in written contexts, just as vice versa. Not that I have any specific proofs on the specific words in the survey, but given at least one example of curious slang ("fleek"), I wouldn't put it past Randall to attempt to find some.

Also, the fun thing about pronounceable neologisms is even if Randall made them up, there's a curious tendency in English at least to actually start using some of them.

> Has nobody even bothered to do a whois lookup on shop.com?

Trying to bite my tongue here, but ... did you? Not saying this would tell you whether the domain was actually for sale or not, but it might offer some clues and/or at least a contact point (if not shop.com itself, which is totally active).

There wasn't much due diligence here, and it seems like OP was relying on Ebay's protection to secure a lazy gamble.
I would like to see the US step up its process to accept refugees.

Why, do you want to see a lot of dead refugees? Because that's where all of this is heading. It'll happen in Europe first, since they have a stronger sense of national identity than most Americans, so we get a preview of what will happen here. Germans have started attacking refugee centers. Anti-immigration political parties are rising in popularity with shocking speed throughout Europe. The Greek and Italian coast guards have quietly started to sink refugee boats coming from Africa. It'll take the US a little longer to get there, but when small town America starts to feel unsafe in their own communities, their reaction will not be peaceful.
Glad to see that Paypal hasn't changed their ways in the past 6 years.

From another thread:

I once made a major purchase off eBay and received merchandise that was substantially different than what I ordered.

It took 4 months, many exchanges with PayPal via their "dispute center" and many phone calls to have my purchase refunded. They even closed my dispute at one point claiming that I hadn't returned the merchandise because their support staff was too incompetent to check the DHL tracking # on DHL's web site to verify that I had indeed returned the merchandise (at my expense).

I will never make a major purchase with PayPal again.

Drupal – An Open Source CMS
My wife has about twenty pairs of socks, and no more than a few of the pairs are the same variety. It's like some masochistic combinatorics problem every single time I fold socks. My kid and I literally were playing "sock go fish" a few times to get him to help (except ... I was more interested in the pairing, rather than taking turns. Doh.)

Laundry-folding happiness is increased significantly when I don't have to play "Find-the-mate" every time I pick up a sock (which applies to my kids' socks as well, since they are all patterned, but thankfully my son likes wearing party-colored socks, so I only need to match on shape).

I have two "vintages" of socks -- the old ones that I hate, and the newer ones that I prefer, roughly equally divided. I would donate + re-buy if I had more than two flavors of socks.
I would think the real target market is cloud computing though.
The point of the article is that PayPal accept screenshots as proof. You can point out that the author made a mistake until you are blue in the face; it won't change that PayPal's policy is ludicrous.
Ah, I completely misunderstood the original commenter and in my mind conflated "outright aggression since prior to WW2" stuff with the black money, I was probably confused because the money laundering is kinda what the graphic alludes to.

These are the prime numbers between 20 and 100:

23,29,31,37,41,43,47,53,59,61,67,71 73,79,83,89,97

Evens are out; so are small multiples. A multiple of three might end in 3, 9 or 7. A multiple of 7 may end in 1. So a "conservative mental arithmetic sieve" that wants to make sure one's picking a prime number will coalesce around 29 or 37.

Myself, I picked 11 and 17.
Mine was 3.14 =)
Very helpful! Thx!
So don't buy anything cheap and then sell it later at a higher price because that's scummy or does this only apply to domains; if so, why? Your respect for traders is presumably zero.

I'm going to second the "definitely a nerd", since not only did he make up an arbitrary rule, he even altered his behavior to be logically consistent ("well, matches can happen in random choice, so I can't disallow those ..."). That's pretty cool.
Your comment demonstrates beautifully how economics is not an empirical science. Much of what is taught in economics is founded on a flawed premise.
Sounds like you're mixing up DevOps and NoOps. DevOps is what happens when dev and ops (sysadmins) work more closely together. NoOps is the (probably misguided) notion that sysadmins aren't needed at all
Theano should work on Windows. And the community is very friendly. So, in case of install trouble, just ask them. Or better: help to make it simpler. (If it is not a principle Windows thing, like missing package manager or so.)

Of course, many Theano-based scripts you will find somewhere are probably only tested on a very specialized environment, and this might expect some Unix-like environment. But this is something which you cannot really solve, other than contribute to the script and fix it.

About the related Nvidia CUDA discussion: OpenCL support by Theano is in the works. Not sure how far it is.

Exactly. The police can read all my letters if a judge allows it. They can tap my phone, bug my bedroom, track my movement, perform a cavity search, take my blood and DNA, detain me, and if I make really bad decisions even kill me.

I want _my_ government to be able to do all that, according to the laws of _my_ country, which I am able to change and influence.

Reading OP's article reminded me of REAMDE.

I've never really played MMOs outside of a little bit of UO and EQ in the '90s, and everything I'm reading about WoW's gold economy is something that I thought Stephenson just came up with for REAMDE. I'm actually a little bit shocked that all this is real.
I may have exaggerated, but I feel like patio11 would recommend something similar. Perhaps you offer unlimited (instead of 5) profiles at the very high price point. This comes from the assumption that for very large enterprises, a price tag of low 5 figures per year vs. low 4 figures per year is not a difference worth thinking about.

Of course, you know best what size of enterprises are using your product.
I was on Nautilus Prime (or the ancestor to that?) and they hadn't renewed my subscription. Kind of annoying, really.

Noticed it was on sale, so I just picked up a two-year subscription. Suggest others do the same. Well worth it.

As an aside, I would also be willing to pay a _lot_ more for the quarterly, like 100-to-200% increase.

Hitmeister - http://www.hitmeister.de/ - Cologne, Germany (Full Time, ONSITE, VISA)

Web developer: full-stack, frontend, or backend. Most of us work at all levels of the web stack, but if your strengths lie in just frontend or backend work, that's okay too.

We're a small team (15 people) using PHP, Zend Framework, MySQL, MongoDB, ElasticSearch, RabbitMQ, and memcached. We have a customer-facing site, a JSON API, logistics software, and an internal admin site, all of which we build and maintain internally.

Hitmeister.de is one of the largest online shopping portals in Germany, with over 2.1 million customers to date. We have a warehouse from which we sell items directly, but we also have a marketplace with over 2,400 sellers running their own shops. We're seeing solid growth and we're looking for more programming talent to grow and improve the site.

Speaking German is helpful, but by no means required. I'm from the US and we have 3 other non-German developers. If you aren't an EU citizen, we are glad to help with visa issues as long as you qualify for an EU Blue Card. If you have a CS degree or at least 5 years of full-time experience, then you probably qualify. We only allow on-site work, but we'll help you relocate.

Here's the job description in German:

This is really the important part of the article:

> Their overview stated that machine learning techniques emphasized causality less than traditional economic statistical techniques, or what's usually known as econometrics. In other words, machine learning is more about forecasting than about understanding the effects of policy.

And it's true. Economists care more about forecasting than 'understanding the effects of policy' because the money is to be made forecasting while working for a bank or a large corporation.

Economics can't be codified the way physics can because economics models human behaviour (which is constantly changing), not physical laws than can be tested and retested.
This! Command line programs have no excuse, they should never need to decompress the entire file to memory. GUI image editors and web browsers probably generally do need to, but there definitely are such options for dealing with more pixels than you can display.

Anyway, do you know some of these "better" graphics programs that actually behave this way, especially command line processing? I am interested in finding more of them.

EDIT: Okay, I have to add & admit that by "no excuse", I actually mean somewhat the opposite. ;) I mean that its possible to do streaming image processing on compressed formats, not that its trivial to do or as easy as decompressing the file in a single call. I just wish that programs would handle very large images more, and it sucks when they don't even though I know its possible. Especially programs intended for dealing with large images like Hugin. Now, I know its a PITA to tile & stream compressed formats because I've done it, but I'm sure I've written image I/O that decompresses the entire file to RAM 100x more frequently than anything that tiles and/or streams, because I've only handled tiling or streaming myself once, and it was harder. :P

You are right - diagnosing ADHD is for professionals as it can be complex to separate out from several other diagnoses. But lets look at what you just wrote:

- Lack of awareness or concern for timelines until immediate consequences loom.

- Inability to control focus if not emotionally invested. (So-called hyperfocus is much part of ADHD as is non-focus).

These are both things that would light up an ADHD scoreboard. They're almost direct quotes from the literature, and if you spoke to a group of ADHD people they would recognize them immediately.

People with ADHD have many explanations for "why" they are this way. A lifetime of rationalization does not make it not so. So perhaps talk to an ADHD specialist - it can make a huge difference in your life, and your loved ones.

Ask someone diagnosed in later life, say, over 40, if they would have preferred to not be rationalizing and suffering the consequences over the last 20 to 30 years.

> PayPal is entirely in the wrong here.

Exactly, the only way to find out if PayPal is on the ball is to make a mistake, I can't understand why there are so many comments harping on about this blatantly obvious point.

Otherwise what would the author (or any journalist) do? Fake a fraudulent sale (which would still be fraud)? Or intentionally find a fraudulent seller? "Hey PayPal, I purposefully went and found a fraudulent sale, can I have my money back?"
