Ugh, why does Apple try to subdue its customers. If I want root access to a directory that's my problem. They don't need to police what I do.
Not cured, but treated. I'm currently using a BI-PAP machine that's made a world of difference (as long as I keep my beard trimmed). It's just like a CPAP but will use different levels of pressure for inhaling and exhaling to help trigger the body's autonomic responses to breath. In my case the settings are as high as this particular machine will go, i completely forget what the units are now, 13 units for exhaling, 16 for inhaling.
Having been one of the co-inventors of XQuery, I completely understand the benefit of placing the FROM in the beginning. However, there is a vast set of existing familiarity among users along SQL that we felt supporting this will help people to learn the language quicker than introducing a new syntax.

As to your join syntax: Conceptually, U-SQL is a functional lambda expression composition language. One of the major lambdas are rowset expressions. Thus in your example above a is by itself a rowset lambda, "a JOIN b ON comp" is a rowset lambda etc. What does this mean? It means that eventually, the language may allow you to just write:

a join b on a.id == b.id

instead of

SELECT * FROM a join b on a.id == b.id;

At that point the SELECT ... FROM clause becomes a projection and applier of scalar transforms and aggregators.

Today, U-SQL is not quite as flexible, but we do support this pattern already for Table-Valued Functions where you can say

TVF(42)

in addition to

SELECT * FROM TVF(42)

Good discussion though... keep it coming!

CORRECTION - resource timing is not disallowed entirely; only network timing details (to calculate latency, etc.) are disallowed.

Sharing resources across pages based on has values would render this restriction moot.

From http://www.w3.org/TR/resource-timing/:

"Statistical fingerprinting is a privacy concern where a malicious web site may determine whether a user has visited a third-party web site by measuring the timing of cache hits and misses of resources in the third-party web site. Though the PerformanceResourceTiming interface gives timing information for resources in a document, the cross-origin restrictions prevent making this privacy concern any worse than it is today using the load event on resources to measure timing to determine cache hits and misses."

Plus, volume house builders have in interest in maintaining the status quo.

I think what's needed is for builders to switch from a 'build to sell' to a 'build to rent' business model but this needs long term finance to more readily available and, of course, a willingness to embrace new ideas.

I'm not optimistic though.
I'm taking the snowball approach right now too. Maybe I will eventually get to where I can put away 20% but for now that extra money goes to paying down debt. Aside from $100 a month that goes into an emergency savings fund and 4% into my 401k.

I started working here a few months ago, and like both the company and Bend, a lot. Bend's on the small side, but big enough to not be boring. It has a ton of outdoor stuff, and a climate that's pretty good too. It's a great place for families, with good schools, and a relaxed atmosphere. The company is large enough that it's possible to go home every evening and spend time with your family or friends or outdoors.
Well, it depends. Serde is still in active development, not at 1.0 yet. I don't think it's totally clear that at _this moment_, it's always better. It will be in the future, I'm just not sure that future is today.

Plus, there are other serialization libraries as well, and having the official Rust docs play favorites in the ecosystem is something we try to avoid.

1. I understand coming from only swipe but in my mind (Sweden) you insert your card while you perform the entire transaction as a identifier compared to swiping. That's at least how me and my friend think about it after asking him.

2. Machines in Europe has been doing this for a long time and it's never been an issue. I guess in the rare case power goes out (aren't these machines on UPS?) it you just call the provider hotline, cancel that card and get a new one in the mail the day after.

3. I have never seen this but i agree this is an issue. That is a unnecessary UX roadblock.

Guess what happens when you receive housing benefit while living in rented accomodation.

The state pays your landlords mortgage.

Why is it more insane for the state to pay the mortgage of someone who clearly has very little, than for them to pay, via housing benefit, the mortgage of a buy-to-let landlord? Assuming the amounts of money are similar, the former seems preferable to me.

For some reason _noone_ seems to be talking about the fact that the people profiting most off the benefits system are middle class buy-to-let landlords. Housing benefit costs the government £20bn a year and it's just going to go up with house prices.

Fwiw: I paid accident claims for over five years. Most claims fell into one of two categories: "accident waiting to happen" or people trying to get coverage for things like the chiropractic care they were going to get three times a week anyway. Only a tiny portion of claims really struck me as shit happens/man, it sucks to be you.

If you really want low health bills:

Do all that boring stuff you constantly read about, like brush, floss, eat right, exercise, and only drink in moderation. Do not ever get rip roaring drunk. Especially do not drive or engage in other dangerous activities while drunk or high. Don't sleep around casually. Don't ride a motor cycle. If you want to go hiking in the mountains, take the appropriate precautions and do not drink or do drugs.

A lot of claims will not be covered anyway if you were drinking, taking drugs or engaging in risky behavior (parachuting, mountain climbing). And keep in mind that insurance only protects against financial loss, and only to a limited degree. If you permanently maim yourself doing stupid crap, you will not only be stuck with high medical bills and reduced odds of making a good income thereafter, you are also permanently maimed, duh. Living with chronic pain and other issues of that ilk still sucks majorly, even if you win the lottery and are set for life financially.

In addition to being old news, this story isn't all that exciting. They've made an Aluminium-based steel that's 13% lighter than ordinary steel(density of about 6.83 vs. 7.85) and that isn't brittle like previous Aluminium steels. It could have interesting uses, especially if it can be made cheap and with good properties (weldability, formability, workability, corrosion resistance), but they're just at the small-scale stage and they have a corrosion resistance problem to solve.

> The first transaction on each reader and random transactions every 20-50$ (and all transactions above a $20 limit) will require chip+PIN verification

Not necessarily. In the UK (at least, at the banks where my fiancée and I hold accounts), you need to enter your PIN:

1) On the first transaction after activating a new card

2) On transactions above £30 (~$45) starting 1st Sep 2015 (however apparently some terminals have the former £20 limit hard coded and require a firmware update to increase the limit)

3) On random transactions

In the case of the random PIN verification for contactless payments, the frequency with which these are required isn't entirely clear. I have spent ~£100 over numerous successive contactless transactions (local store then rounds of drinks at the bar) without requiring PIN verification. In fact, I've never needed to enter my PIN - every contactless transaction has been automatically approved.

Over a typical week, I do contact a good mix of contactless and Chip-and-PIN transactions, so my risk profile might be different from someone who has, for example, a 80/20 contactless-to-chip ratio.

I'm unsure whether the PIN verification requirement is triggered by the application running on the card or by the transaction processor. This might actually be covered in the EMV spec [1].

The thing about the events and the theories is that the real situation is now evident and the particulars matter only in a symbolic way.

Essentially, the students were murdered by the ruling narco-state fusion. The Federal authorities efforts to blame the events on a fusion of local authorities and narcos likely is perceived as an effort to cover up the general collusion between the state and the narcos on all levels.

This is a world in which during the course of the investigation, 60 other mass graves, of other large groups of people murdered in area were found [1]. When industrial-scale for murder and the disposal of bodies are operating, yeah, it's hard to figure out how certain people died and where they are not.

As a cause, I get the impression that finding the students' murderers now is oriented towards not finding some specific hidden villain or exact turn of events but rather on casting light on the entire narco-state complex where corruption goes up to highest level (and extends into the US).

BBC: "Mexico missing students: Search uncovers 60 mass graves" The attorney general's office says the remains of 129 bodies have been recovered from the graves. None of the remains have been linked to the students who vanished in Iguala."
