I disagree, and I think you're projecting both judgement and a cognitive bias for an ideal situation for you that would never occur in reality. It's a sort of golden age or nirvana fallacy, looking back at universities of the past or your 'ideal university' as somehow better or more serious than the ones that exist today.

For the past, at least, this wasn't true at all. If anything universities were were sillier, rowdier places. If it wasn't alcohol, it was other mischief and vice, more serious sports, and more pervasive greek systems. The offenses against seriousness you list aren't even that bad, to be honest. They suffer from a sort of 'vocal minority' effect, where they seem extremely loud and horrible, but in reality are just the outward projections of a minority percentage or a minority effect.

A university is a microcosm of society. It has never been and will never be a completely serious place, because humans are not completely serious beings. Part of the glorious beauty and effectiveness of the university, even in its average form, is that it allows humans to be humans and to explore humanity; not only its serious aspects, but also its flaws, vices, and many varied possibilities. This is not a negative 'dominant influence,' but instead a highly functional, necessary, and intentional nod to the most effective development of a human being.

Just look at it: there is somehow a great seriousness coming out of this crazy world of drinking, hyper-social behavior, hookups, greek systems, grade inflation, and college sports. This should tell you something: the whole experience of college and the seriousness of its intended result are not at odds, but instead—paradoxically in a sort of crazy zen-like relationship—necessary for one another to exist. There is a profound recognition that a serious, well-balanced human being capable of greatness is not constructed by seriousness itself, nor of serious places, but rather by a plentiful variety of experience.

It is not the aim of universities to be serious places. They know better. They understand the complexities of culture, of society, and of the development of young people at a very critical stage of life. In the end, they most certainly achieve serious results very consistently—not in spite of their lack of seriousness, but in large part because of it, and especially thanks to an appreciation for it.

And on an anecdotal note, I believe in universities strongly because I did indeed experience a great one, and I know many people who had their own great experiences as well. At my university, I saw and experienced all of the things you mention. All of these unserious offenses should have distracted me from my academic focus, but they did not. They only enhanced it and helped form me into the person I am today, and I strongly, unequivocally believe that I am better for it.
Why? Wouldn't that be a lousy PR stunt? Domain services are the keepers to your most prized possessions and Google's let someone buy their own domain creating this nebulous set of thoughts to where many might think this allowed the person to control google.com itself.

I think intuitionistic logic is just as valid a foundation for mathematics as classical logic. They both have very attractive features for mathematics. They both appeal to different intuitions about what logic ought to be. When it comes to mathematics, one is more natural than the other in different contexts.

The proof theory of a logic is what is useful to mathematics. It's hard to beat either classical or intuitionistic first order logic when it comes to their proof theories. I think that's why nothing else really catches on. You can build other logics on top of one or the other anyway. Another perspective is that you can encode other logics in them.
I wonder how countries get to 80 year on average given all those early cancers and genetical diseases (also fatalities and suicides) that are surely to reap their harvest.

This should mean that average for people who did not die prematurely is more close to 90 years. That's scary.

Personally I'd be happy enough to live to 70, and won't be surprised to die much earlier.
Check out Memento, total mind-fuck of a film, it's about a man who has short-term memory loss like OP, and to keep the audience on the same page has him the scenes in the movie go in reverse order. Sounds weird but it works VERY well.
The code is on github: https://github.com/VitoVan/wonder-color/

Essentially:

* Bing image search for the phrase entered

* Downloads first result from Bing and saves to disk

* Your browser then loads the downloaded image

* http://jariz.github.io/vibrant.js/ is then used to pick "prominent colors" from the image

* These are then the swatches displayed

Vibrant is a port of Android Palette (https://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/v7/g...), which specifically extracts colors it calls: "Vibrant", "Vibrant Dark", "Vibrant Light", "Muted", "Muted Dark", and "Muted Light".

I think this is why it also seems to create colors that don't appear to be related at times. I found the colors returned when searching for "black" and "white" particularly bizarre. "white" for example, gets what looks like a pure white image, but then has cyan and purple swatches: http://i.imgur.com/zlObSsB.png
Apparently this happened in 1999 with Microsoft's Passport.com as well [1], and again later with hotmail.co.uk [2]. While I understand that snafus like this can happen, I don't understand why the new owner would simply hand back the domain for essentially no compensation (especially in the case of hotmail.co.uk - this appeared to be a clean transfer of an expired domain). If they let the domain expire, it's fair game and should go for market price.

Nope. The details don't match not because GP has a bad memory but because it was a separate incident. Don't be a dick.
If you're using a popular web-mail solution (e.g. Gmail), I would just report them as spam so they end up in other peoples' blacklist.

Otherwise, ask them if they're willing to represent convicted federal felons, sex offenders, and/or rehabilitated serial killers to their clients? You'll get black-listed real fast.
LTE could very well be invented by international collaboration involving academia, industry and individuals. Why should industry get into it? To build expertise. Need to shift from companies seeing patents as assets to expertise/people as assets. That will also create better work environments.

Yea, but if Google says you own google.com, how 'unreal' is your claim?

Great post, and a nicely detailed read. This also came up on HN a few months ago (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9760606), with some interesting alternatives to some of the presented tech in the comments.
Where are you getting this "you claim to offer your content for free" from? Most sites don't make a claim the content is free, but people like to assume it is and take it. It doesn't put the providers in a good light that it's become the norm that there's an unspoken agreement going on that they are benefiting from, but it's not any better on the consumer side, as taking something without confirming it's actually free isn't appropriate either.

What we have here is an unspoken agreement about a transaction taking place, and both sides are interpreting it in their best interests without confirming that's okay for the other side. Everyone's an asshole in this scenario, which I think fairly accurately describes reality.

To put this in relatable terms, it's like walking down a country road and coming upon a crate of apples. While they don't say they are free, they look kind of free, and you're hungry. You take one, and all of a sudden a guy jumps out from behind a tree and demands that you owe him a favor and some info about yourself for eating his apples. He's a scumbag, it's obvious, for trying to engineer a scenario where he can solicit business from people that might otherwise pass him by, but the passerby that partakes without confirming that it's actually free isn't without fault either.

Now, we see that some people are pretty good at just ignoring the shop keeper, and they keep reaping the benefits of free apples. Sure, the owner of the apples is an asshole, but the other people are still stealing his apples, and regardless of how much an asshole he is, that's not okay. At this point, both parties are acting in bad faith. Unfortunately, the problem is muddied by the facts that people decided long ago, primarily due to these shady guys and small favors, that apples just aren't worth paying money for anymore, and rarely the guys that own the apples even sell your info and/or favors to really shady people, so it's often safer to ignore them and give them nothing.

P.S. Yes, this conflates the content creator and the ad network, but that's not really the point of this.
I'm not an American, and at first I thought the "leisure studies" major was just sarcasm(similar to Kaldirim Muhendisligi, i.e. Sidewalk Engineering in Turkish), then I googled it, and I am completely baffled that it is actually a thing.

If a company can reasonably show they own a trademark for a name in a region and should be awarded a domain, registrars will give away the domain. There has been plenty of cases where even old domains were taken away.
Crediting is a much larger issue than just what's referred to in the article.

I worked on a title for ~3 years, many of those being 6-8 months of 75-100hr weeks. Saw marriages destroyed on that project, people pushed to the edge.

I left ~4 months before ship because I knew if I didn't it would be the end of me. Twice I blew the stoplight in front of our house because I was so exhausted. Yet it was insinuated that I didn't work hard enough since I came in the office at 8am and left at 10pm(everyone else left 12am-2am).

You want to know what I was credited as?

"Special Thanks"

That and many other reasons is why you'll see the game industry burn through talent. I've never seen a collective of some of the sharpest, creative people I've ever worked with exploited to such a degree under the misplaced reason of "Passion".

The place I worked before then was very much white-label, with very similar issues and working conditions. I think we did get the studio logo on the back of the box but there was a very clear agreement where no logos could be placed in-game.
Sorry about that.
I think it's time to change my hosting service now.
We neglect to appreciate the effective and intentional system that college is, that forces us to have such a variety of new experiences, most not of our own choosing.

It would be a shame if our ability to make wise, independent choices at age 18 was the major determinant for our potential in life. Many would not choose to invest in themselves.

The university experience is invaluable. Look at it whole. Don't take it for granted.

Most of those types of things can be used for fingerprinting currently with JavaScript w/o need for screenshot rendering. Anything that injects into the page DOM can be detected and some timing attacks are possible.

The main issues that I think are important to consider are revealing browser history (visited links) and cross-frame information (like <iframe>). Modern browsers already have protection in these areas.
Ah, maybe it was the passport.com incident that was mentioned in another comment. Fair enough!
In my case it was a lot of the memories from things in college, things I knew I didn't remember from classes and things. A few things from the jobs I worked around that time too. I could usually tell it was something I couldn't remember before simply because it didn't fit anywhere for a while, just the middle or end of something that happened and didn't connect anywhere. Sometimes it made me feel like I was going a bit crazy and wasn't sure of what they were right away. Smells and sounds seemed to be the biggest things that surfaced things, sights less so. There were a few times where I'd remember a song I heard during that time and it took me a year or so to figure out what the hell the song was, those in particular drove me the most nuts because I've very little talent for music so until I remember more than a word or two from it I couldn't figure it out. It was actually something that was hard to talk about at first simply because it's so bizarre and unfamiliar that you can't really seem to express it in a way that feels right.
The point of college is not to maximize your earning potential.

It is to improve yourself, invest in yourself, and become a better human being. Higher pay is a possible side-effect.

Its just funny that it was an ex-googler buying google.com from Google Domains. and they happened to state the price ($12) in the ad errrr article. relax people. downvotes? come on.
Registrars can say whatever they want, it doesn't mean anything until the domain is properly listed in the TLD's main database, in this case VeriSign.
I am trying to help entrepreneurs succeed. That is all I am trying to accomplish. But, with the rigid mind which you have got, anybody doing any good and anybody doing anything new will look a scam to you. Elon Musk must be a scam to you few years ago. Bill Gates and Steve Jobs must be scam to you too. If you don't believe in something, it does not mean anything.

Someone is always doing something somebody else said was impossible. Try trying.

I wish good look to you. You have got a good brain and if you utilize it in constructive way instead of fantasizing criticisms, you will do far good to the society and to yourself.

Probably OK since the question doesn't really make any sense.
There's probably different levels of recall. Like, raw acknowledgement of timestamps, i.e. this must have happened here while I was there. And then actual high level understanding and processing, like I was at this place and it was unusual for my daily routine, because I needed some papers signed, or whatever.

Probably in a normal functioning person they go lock step so you don't notice how they are different. But if your processes are out of sync, it could explain how they arrived at their feelings.

at least I'm not the only one that thought of this book.
Perhaps I am wrong in assuming, but I thought it was effectively converting to something like a <canvas> behind the scenes anyway, simply for scalability/zoom purposes, in which case it just needs to have a node-focused clipping area, even if the all other elements remain rendered outside of the clipping area (though most could be discarded, as they are off-screen). Even if untrue, simply substitute Postscript for SVG in my comment... Firefox can clearly print an <html>-rooted DOM node. Even if they just had a "print DOM node" item, the result could be passed to the normal printing path to get something close to a .PS. Users often have Print-to-PDF software already.

Printing a specific node is a major use-case, and for that text needs to still be as scalable fonts.
The world is rife with wrenches and people willing to use them. PD is only good against people who don't have legal leverage against you, and those not willing to break the law to get it.
Dear Trollinson,
this thread is not about ideatostartup. I have answered every one of his question in the relevant thread.
I cannot think of a happier outcome than companies who value fancy credentials over effectiveness ending up with the employees who would be upset that they're being evaluated on how they actually perform rather than the prestige of their degree. Then I'd never have to work with anybody like that again.

It's good to see an article about Cincinnati. I lived there for many years.

My joke about it is that it's exceptional in how average it is. Downtown full of office buildings. Gets emptied at night. Surrounded by a ring of delapidated buildings and crime ridden areas (which recently have been gentrifying slowly). And then followed by suburbs.

Here is a view off of Central Parkway going West from the city. I always liked that drive for some reason.

https://www.google.com/maps/@39.1212616,-84.5286896,3a,89.6y...

Those buildings were abanondned for years, they looked kind of interesting and bit spooky to me, especially at night. Around the same area, there was a similar old factory, it was repurposed for a while for art installations.

The city was struggling when I left. I couldn't not find any decent tech jobs there. The few offers I got were pretty laughable, even for that area.

> Next steps: Cincinnati — like many other cities — needs increased funding for more data analytics people.

It somehow needs to provide an environment for more job growth. Easier said that done, of course. There was no shortage of "tech hub" attempts in other cities...
We had an old cabinet TV that required a good smack in just the right spot on the left side to prevent most of the picture being green. As I recall the green-ness varied in saturation from the left to the right for some reason.

Over time the required smack became more and more forceful, and the smack target became smaller. Fortunately it kept working until the time came for a new TV though. Afterward I kind of missed that. (Sort of like I now miss the great triumph of getting my parents' old lawn mower to start.)
Definitely a real issue, I hit it myself.

Assuming you commit when you stop, why not make the commit message detailed enough to summarize a) where you are, b) what problems you are currently experiencing, and c) where you think you need to go next. Explicitly think what your future self needs.

I certainly value of design notes (even for small projects), but committing regularly and often to a git repo for the project (it doesn't have to be complex, a simple local repo will do) seems like the ideal amount of tracking. It generally works for me.

I highly doubt they've ever had a relationship with Apple. I don't think they've ever gotten a prerelease iPhone - they just send someone to Australia where they launch first and do the teardown before they go on sale 12 hours later in the US.
Funny how totally different people are:

I can read comic sans, arial, times no problems. I don't care or even notice as long as my programming font lines up. Margins inconsistent by two pixels? No problem as long as the layout is overall consistent (logical hierarchies are somehow obvious.)

You sound like you work in UI/UX and I would wish people could care more about things that do matter to me, so here is a list of what I would like:

* not everyone has been at all the meetings and know how
"obvious" everything is - make things discoverable
* not everyone use the computer the same way - by all
means make it easy to click and I don't expect vim or
emacs keybindings in web apps but don't forget tabbing
order.
* not everyone can see all colors - I also like nice
colors but I don't want to miss out because I cannot
see all shades of green
I don't think it's a particularly big problem. Honestly, I'd be happy to have a 10x larger pool of applicants, as that means I'd get sooner to the ones I want to hire.

I think the trick is to structure the hiring process so that you can quickly weed out the people you don't want. Currently the trick I'm trying: I have candidates write 1-2 sentences in response to one of five hopefully interesting questions:

So far there's been a very good correlation between "can write a useful short answer" and "is worth talking to". Whereas there hasn't been a good correlation with "prestige level of school".
Not playing devil's advocate here, but just to point out why things that seem obviously black-and-white don't seem to be nipped in the bud. Drug companies are not allowed to advertise drugs for any reason than what they were officially approved for. However, doctors are allowed to have discretion in this matter...for example, if they know a certain drug prescribed only for, say, hair loss, is also good for erectile dysfunction, and they've read enough of the literature to prescribe this confidently...then they don't have to go strictly by FDA regulations.

This freedom is not a bad thing in itself...I mean, it reflects the reality that have effects (good and bad) that are independent of a regulatory process. One extreme case that I can remember is when Avastin -- originally prescribed to fight cancer -- was found to be as effective for treating eye disease at $50 a pop as a drug that cost $1,950 [1]...and so there was controversy over whether doctors should be allowed to prescribe Avastin before it was officially approved by the FDA for this usage.

So it became obvious to drug companies that if they advertise/befriend doctors, they could influence them to prescribe drugs for these off-label uses. Maybe some of those uses were completely legitimate (and profitable). Some obviously should not have been pushed for off-label use, such as highly-addictive painkillers approved only for use by the most serious cancer afflictions being prescribed to people with migraines. When you consider that highly competitive pharma sales reps had the ability to basically know exactly how much each doctor prescribed on a weekly (daily?) basis, and thus, how much to visit and chat them up...you basically have a bunch of not-technically-illegal-things that were maybe fine on their own, but added up, eventually, to what the Justice Dept. considered to be fraudulent activity.
