The trend is going on for decades now. The rise of the finance sector is IMHO the main reason.

In the finance sector, multitudes more money is flowing today, than in the real economy with products and services. Big money is going, where the most interest is been made ... but the interest must come from somewhere. To think, that it just appears somehow and everybody is getting richer, is just wishful thinking. Finally, some day, somebody will have to work for it or somebody will loose something (e.g. land that is sold to investors, that use it to generate even more money).

So, more and more interest is made by investments, money lending or even speculations. Who are the losers? The working people, that just have not enough money to invest and use their working power or their brains to get the money for living.

Globalization is helping this trend. Money can just go where it is cheapest, instead fighting fights with worker organizations. In many countries, people are so desperate, that they sell their work for a prize, they merely can survive on.

Trend is going on. Money seeks better places to invest, more land to grab, more patents, more, more, more -- and for those that have not got money already, the possibilities to earn money or to get better of are vanishing, since more and more land is owned, more "intellectual property", more lobbyist, which say, how the laws shall be that shape our future. Also more trade treaties, like TPP, TTIP and the others, which create better conditions to invest and to make profits for corporations ... which are owned by big money.
Finland (and Denmark, Sweden, Norway) this isn't as big an issue yet because we redistribute wealth quite heavily. But it will be more and more because no matter whether you believe in austerity or heavily investing via ex quantitative easing technology outperform the effect of them all.

It can be safe and simple to use, while being complex on the identity provider's side of the equation. Mozilla Persona was not simple, introduced a ton of new concepts, but you only had to learn all of it if you were an identity provider. For identity "consumers", you could implement and launch into production within an hour of work.
Berlin is a special case.

I agree. I feel its worth the $9 price point too. $29? No way. Sublime Integration isn't worth $20 when I can just alt+tab. There are a lot of free apps that provide a ton more db functionality.

now just merge this functionality on open refine.

Up until 2006 prisons were completely regulated federally, even though they were run by the states. Since then, the states are in charge of prison laws, though they don't vary much.

Just as an example for one of they "major" differences: Most states still require TVs in common rooms but as many inmates have their own nowadays, some states made them optional. In Hamburg there is never a TV in a common room. Some states may require the inmates to pay for the electricity they use with their own appliances.

Most other differences are also on that level.
Large risks imply large potential rewards (otherwise you're just being dumb).

But in terms of genetics the female upside is limited by the very high costs of child bearing & the limited number of children they can physically have. The male genetic upside to risk is limited by the number of women they can have sex with.

1 / 200 men are apparently descended from Genghis Khan! This feat would simply be impossible for any woman of that era.
This product area is something that I had reason to purchase recently; the whole space is a bit of a mess, and data.com (owned by salesforce) is the market leader. So great idea and interesting approach, but I think your pricing is rather high for the limits you're putting in place. I ended up purchasing data.com - the rate card price is $125 per month, but in reality I got the sense that most people get it for less. Although when you first sign up with data.com it appears that you have a 300 lead limit per month, that's only if you want to export the whole record for the lead - you can manually look up (and see full details) for as many as you like. So to me the limits that you're putting in place aren't particularly attractive.

You'd maybe be better offering X per day with no roll-over (i.e. if you are on a 10 credit plan and don't use any of your credits on Monday or Tuesday you don't have 30 on Wednesday, just 10 - but you can use 10 on Wednesday, 10 on Thursday and 10 on Friday) - people are unlikely to hit the limit each day every single day, but to me this would be a better sell.

So perhaps your model then becomes something like this: free plan is 10 leads (and perhaps offer a PAYG on the free plan - $2 per lead, say?) then paid goes 10 leads per day (quite an easy upsell from someone who has seen success with the 10 free leads), 25 leads per day ($25), 50 leads per day ($45), 200 leads per day ($75). So long as the quality of the data was good, I'd be very much into that sort of thing.

Additionally, with data.com it's part of Salesforce which means they have a very well executed sales process for people looking for this. To compete with that might be tricky unless you can offer a salesforce integration too - and means you're probably targeting smaller businesses/startups/freelancers where they may not have a relationship with Salesforce.

I like the LinkedIn integration and can see that this would be very useful, but I think I'd probably see this as a additional product - basic lead finch at one price, and then augmented linkedin data as an additional level (or only available on the $45/$75 levels?)

It would also be nice to be able to push leads into various CRMs. That's probably also a good channel for the API business - offer lead details inside various CRMs.

Hope that at least some of that is helpful feedback.
huh, TIL.

Highly disagree.

Click "Login with Facebook" -> "Oh look they just want my name and email" -> Accept

^ That's 90% of my Facebook signups; it's much easier than entering everything from scratch and then verifying my email. If your app just needs name/email/password and has no significant privacy or financial implications, for the love of god allow Facebook signups.

Fascinating.

Biology really is amazing technology. It's very exciting to see progress in understanding, interacting with and augmenting it.

So what? That covers like 95% of web users right there and if some users don't like it they can go through the full signup flow.
Browsers could just implement it like:

But you have to ask yourself why the finance sector have been on the rise and the answer to that inevitably become technology which powers 4 things.

Automation
Digitalization
Globalization
Capital intensive companies instead of labour intensive ones.

All these things allow for scalability and therefore support a "highlander principle" where very few players can control most of the wealth.
The first couple of paragraphs are a great summary. Prof. Binney has some interesting observations on the non-physicality of quantum measurement (the formalism).

One of the postulates of QM is that after a measurement the system is in a well-defined state (the one we measured). But this is aphysical.

It's an artifact of the deliberate choice to formally model measurement in a way that simultaneously recognizes that all measurements disturb the measured system, while also wanting to abstract away the particular hardware used.

So, I'm starting to see wavefunction collapse and the whole Copenhagen interpretation as artifacts of the the formalism, not any kind of physical truth.
Given enough peers over time, neither bandwidth or uptime should be an issue. If an incentive based system like Filecoin were to take off, and there's a market to exchange that currency, then it may actually be a viable business just to set up farms that host content. Kind of like a hosting service, but with indirect customers.
Texas prison rehabilitation catches eye of UK justice minister
I tried Cypher and Gremlin when working on smallish graph of about 3M nodes and 20M edges a few years ago

Back then both were pretty rough, Gremlin looked more polished but wasn't really (most promised features in the documentation were not working just yet).

What has changed since?
The last comment is very ignorant of CPU design. Clearing the highest bits of a register is not a stupid thing to do, it's what you have to do if you don't want to have false dependencies on the previous contents of the register. Partially updating registers in an OoO system is much more expensive operation than what it seems to be for a software guy, and the naive way to use them that the comment suggested would have killed any attempts to extract workable ILP from the system.

At the time, they evaluated how many registers they needed and ran simulations for 16, 32 and 64. Assuming a modern implementation with register renaming and good OoO, they found only a few % gain from 32 and practically none with 64. They decided to go with 16 to save encoding bits. If they found that x86 needed more registers, they would have added more registers, not made partial accesses more common. Remember that spilling to stack in x86 does not have a latency hit in normal conditions because all modern x86 cpus have a separate stack engine that allows the loads to retire immediately after they enter the instruction window, typically tens of cycles before any instructions immediately following them.
I would probably have to quit my job before I could figure out that problem. May I ask how did you spot it?
Exactly. And de jure doesn't make something de facto automatically.
Perhaps they can strip back your own body to a scaffolding and regenerate the tissue. You spend a week as a brain-in-a-vat while your body gets regenerated then you start again.

Sci Fi gold.
The permanence of a "site" in IPFS is intrinsically bound to the active participation of those social entities propelling the sites content.

So, were we to have IPFS support directly in the browser, every time you or I take a look at the pics in a thread, for example, we'd be contributing to the effort to keep things on the IPFS network, to our nearest local trusted peers, for as long as the subject is relevant.

So, your typical net forum, whose members are dedicated to the subject, would communicate about that subject a such, and in so doing .. perpetuate the network.

Yes, the IPFS web has to be tended. But so do your servers. Your servers will die in an instant if 10 or so people die, in an instant (extreme case), or for any one of a thousand different - social - reasons. In this case though the technology is aligned; the load of supporting an IPFS web is being distributed among people whose interest supports the subject, instead of the centralized, sysadmin-with-keys-of-godlike-power. This de-centralization should be considered an attack on devops. IPFS means that the admin of establishing a distributed content delivery system capable of scaling to load, no longer requires an admin. The user is the admin.
Well that's to be expected from a one-man company (IIRC). There used to be a time when you had yearly releases at best for commercial software (and you had to renew your license in order to get the new version). Not every company has to invest in continuous release.

I'm perfectly happy to get infrequent but stable evolutions for Sublime Text.

PS : However if the author could open his source code in order for me to take "inspiration from it" and improving my own Python codebase, that would be great :p
Are there any meta-patents out there? "Patent on patenting a patent on patent application", or something?
It also apparently makes your plants grow faster, from the claims. Going by the sheer level of crackpottery going on in there, I think I can guess what kind of plants grew faster.
The arguments against litigation funding are not compelling. In particular, funded lawsuits tend to be much higher quality than contingency ones. Funders are investors. They do due diligence on the merits of the cases because they want to get their money back. And their cost structure doesn't really support funding cases where the hoped-for resolution is a hundred grand in "go away" money. If someone is willing to sink a million dollars or more into a case, that's an indication that it's not frivolous.
The problem is that the existing identity providers don't stand to gain much if they switched, but stand to lose their control. Lose, lose for them, thus they didn't switch.

Something similar happen to me, but with that fancy quotes. I spotted by doing a "binary-search weird bug hunt". Cut half of the code off and see it it's still complaining, if it's, cut the other half, and so on.
> There are very successful businesses (mint.com) built around the concept of sharing extremely sensitive credentials for some reward.

That's because banks are too backwards to support something like OAuth so I don't have to share my whole damn password when I just want mint to have my balance. Hell, in Canada banks are so backwards you can barely send $1,000 online even with the password.
The prefetcher does a great job, but it's not remotely enough to make stack access penalties disappear.

It's trivial to write microbenchmarks where spilling hot read/write variables to the stack destroys performance, much harder to find special cases where the difference isn't noticeable.
That stance will soon become unreasonable. Incidentally, I'm also an engineer and work on embedded systems... for cars. Can embedded systems be unsafe? Sure. Can they be made reasonably safe, safer than full mechanical cars? They can.

It'll come at a point when those cars will be unmaintainable, hard to aquire, expensive. I want to see if you'll still have the sae stance then. What if in 30 years it becomes illegal to drive your own car and can only use SDC's, will you still pine over the good old mechanica components then?
That's the point. We already know it doesn't work. Most recent examples would be Heartbleed, ShellShock, etc.
Is there any reason why this pattern hasn't been widely reported?

My recollection is: It was widely reported at the time.
Is there a downlink link anywhere?
Some linguists seem to focus on the distinction between languages with a self-perpetuating native speaker community and languages without one, partly because of the idea that native speaker competence and native speaker language communities are qualitatively different from adult second language acquisition (for example native speakers' intuitions as native speakers are seen as extremely important and valuable, whereas non-native speakers' intuitions aren't given much regard).

Also, for language conservation efforts, it's worth noting that when most languages lose their native speaker community, they will immediately cease to be spoken because it's very unlikely that outsider enthusiasts (and/or non-speakers who see the language as part of their cultural heritage) will show up and revive the language, even though this has happened in a handful of cases and been proposed in other cases. In the scheme of languages that are threatened with extinction, revival that produces a new native speaker community virtually never happens; some people say it's only ever happened with Hebrew, and there's even a debate there about how much continuity modern Hebrew has with ancient and liturgical Hebrew.

As a Latin speaker I was always annoyed that people said that Latin was "dead" when it had obviously never ceased to be spoken or written and when I had personally used it to communicate with people (one time with one of the people mentioned in this article, an Italian who doesn't speak English!). Events like the Rusticationes show that you can use Latin as a medium of day-to-day communication, and people do, so that should hardly count as "dead", right?

On the other hand, very very few people have Nancy Llewelyn's level of fluency in Latin, even among people who regularly participate in spoken Latin events. I used to go the Cenae Latinae in Berkeley and, while it was super-fun and very satisfying, the majority of people there wouldn't be called "fluent" if we were applying the standards of a modern language.

I feel like linguists sometimes have a hard time dealing with phenomena like conlangs, liturgical languages, and ancient languages used for communication, because the paradigm of human language acquisition that you see in every single human society all day long is transmission in communities of native speakers, so the concept of something that is exclusively 2L but is in systematic use comes across as kind of weird and not quite "real". And you can find ways in which these languages are impoverished, but it feels pretty real when you understand them and communicate with them!

It's interesting to note that there have been some native Esperanto speakers (including George Soros) and some native post-classical Latin speakers (including Michel de Montaigne), as well as one native Klingon speaker. I'm pretty sure language acquisition specialists would still see this as qualitatively different than transmission within a native speaker community.
Yeah, you can definitely force the gateways to cache content for you. Just make sure not to rely on that for keeping things available, they run a garbage collection every hour or so to clear up disk space.
I love these articles assuming everyone has retina Macbooks. Which matches the price of a car in third world countries...

Become hire #1 at Interviewed and lead our operations
The minute you join, you'll take the lead on:

- Working closely with customers to increase the effectiveness and scale of our hiring tools

- Analyzing large data sets to identify weaknesses in existing assessment and improving them

- Hiring and running a team of remote graders who score candidates' job simulations

- Making product decisions and helping engineering figure out how to design the grader's software

I like that distinction. As a non-native I wonder – is there an english word that's better suited than "permanent" to describe "not temporary"?
The A-10 program only survived the 1970s as an anti-tank respin of a Vietnam counter-insurgency specification.

The gun was only effective against certain aspects of T-64 armour and only after US Army Cobras had eliminated or reduced ZSU and Gaskin vehicles to allow the A-10 to approach to gun range.

What it does very effectively today in close-support was for what it was originally intended, not tank-busting.
I have often thought about trying to patent the patent troll process.

The problem is that it requires an uptake in the economy to work and it requires that the countries have saved up in the good times to pay for it in the bad times.

Problem is that the economy isn't really picking up and so now the bill is passed on to our children and grandchildren to pick up.
We call those "heisenbugs" - one of the most terrifying and maddening things you can encounter prior to a launch. I'm almost positive that I remember reading a sort from a game dev who ran into one of these right before a release, where printing some variable caused it to have the correct value; in this case, it was left in the game.
Apparently for the people who test their shit only on Macs it's "hidden" all right.
On the one hand, this is a great development for people who want to make more things, but don't have the bandwidth to do it all themselves.

On the other hand, this seems to move away from the all-hand-crafted philosophy Etsy has had up to now.

I'm torn.
Damn you Google docs! they also do this :(
Quit complaining, they're just trying to provide you with a more personalized browsing experience! This is what people want, studies have shown that 52.97% of people would rather be tracked and have more targeted ads than just random ones. Its not just a benefit for advertisers, its a benefit for us all.

Besides, if online advertising gets scaled back, how will Silicon Valley justify all the forward earnings that are built into the projections on which IPO valuations are based?

Learn to love it, it is for your own good, really.
Haha, agism, lols. I think you mean, "designers who don't test".
Only if the funds are shared between the two people fighting the lawsuit... In the current market, the entity spending the most money generally wins. This needs to go away first and it can go away if both (or all) entities in a lawsuit have to pool and divide the resources. This should help equalize the ground a little bit.

My wishes are much more prosaic. It's not clear to me just from reading your docs how I can extract data from a JSON file using the pattern this benchmark shows (top level key containing the data, other keys containing metadata about the request) without having to create otherwise useless struct to cover the outer wrapper object.

I see you have a reply to Gankro for a non-exhaustive flag and that'd work. As for the default, the current behavior is what I'd expect from a Rust lib given the correctness first mindset of the community but I will always be opting for non-exhaustive because I think most people providing JSON APIs consider additional keys to be backwards compatible (they are in dynamic languages) and I'd prefer my apps to not break in production for no apparent reason.
