We are living in a consumer economy where an increasing number of jobs are becoming automated. QE is effective in relaxing capital constraints for private industry to thrive but trickle down economics not only doesn't work it certainly doesn't work when you take into account the increasing automation. More than half of Americans live on less than $30k a year. If we want to jump start America we need a minimal viable income. Guaranteed checks to every citizen for them to do what they want. You can argue inflation all you want but without free market economics working for labor we need to tax the rich and siphon that cash back into the hands of the consumer.

It was never a series it was a backdoor pilot produced as a mini-series.
Battlestar Galactica was made in the same manner it was just intended to be a mini-series / made for tv movie and it was't picked up for a show until the overseas ratings came in and Sky pretty much offered Syfy to help produce it.

Driving DevOps: The 5 New Requirements for Agile App Delivery
I used v1 a while back for a toy project. It seemed focused on building rest apis, and had some nice tooling surrounding that. If you're doing anything else, you may want to look at other frameworks thou
Netflix and Amazon don't seem to be interested in becoming the Comcast or direct tv of the Internet.

The amount of content Netflix and Amazon can create is limited. They cannot pay for every tv show for 100-120 bucks a year. Look at what a mature company like HBO produces for 180 a year. 3-5 hour long prestige dramas. 5-8 half hour comedies. Some low expense reality tv like Bill Mayer or Real Sports.

Netflix may be able to scale better, if they get 80% of households they can go cheaper. But they aren't going to be q total replacement for all media.

And you don't want them too. One company with control over all media would be a disaster.
I know zero rich people who "hoard" money, and the ones who become richer tend to be the best at redistributing their cash faster.
That remains to be seen but I have a feeling that savings could be seen in the medium term, or maybe just a few years... 4G is too expensive and data caps are ridiculous.

Kotlin does have lazy map/reduce/filter: those are available through the Sequence interface.
Yeah, or at least be reduced to some amount of tuple flipping depending on instantiating some other auxiliary classes.
New DJI drone computer runs Ubuntu on Tegra, has open SDK
To call "The Wrath of Khan" generic action is pretty unfair, especially when compared against it's clone/reboot "Into Darkness". TWOK opens with Kirk pondering his own mortality and some of the universal concerns of aging. ID opens with a Spock apparently deciding to off himself, with no real motivation or development of that decision given. We can quibble about the intervening parts but for my part I find the action and suspense in TWOK much better, and more importantly, logically motivated. What was the point of the entire battle on Q'onos in ID, other than to just look cool? What sort of character development occured between Kirk and Spock?

Finally, we get to the end, and the most egregious difference between the two. In TWOK we get a tense cat and mouse chase through the nebula, which is won, CRUCIALLY, by out-thinking your opponent. The whole "2d thinking" thing and what not. I admit it's probably not the most air-tight of plot points, but it perfectly demonstrates the difference between the two movies, because ID ends with a loud (visually and sonically) fist-fight that is won by the person who punches hardest. Yay I guess.

Anyway, Star Trek is definitely not all sunshine and rainbows but it is crucially several things that the new movies are not: It prioritizes communication and curiousity over violence and dominance. It is not trying to be cynical or "edgy" in an attempt to be mature. The struggle of people working together to overcome a problem and find a positive solution or compromise can and is every bit as exciting as a phaser battle. And finally, that it is fundamentally optimistic, not in a the sort of "magic technology makes everything awesome" way that the new series seems, but that humans can come together and make things better for each other, the no-win scenario does not exist (mostly) and that we have to work hard to make this come true, but it is do-able.
Hey, I appreciate this response. It's easy to become jaded. I'm often jaded too, and it takes everything I can muster to keep trying to improve things. Some days it's all I can do just to do my job and shut up the systems thinking part of my brain that wants to look outside it.

There are a lot of great ideas out there. What matters is what we do. Good luck, I wish you the best as well.

For what it's worth, this stuff is really great, and a good mental model for the reality of organizations. I highly recommend Peter Scholtes' book, The Leader's Handbook.
Argon2 Wins Password Hashing Competition
Star Trek is a franchise that was slowly being crushed by the mass of its own canon--five television series, ten feature films, books, comics, video games, and a devoted fanbase will do that.

That is likely why the Abrams films rebooted the universe--restarting from the Captain Pike era--with a big enough change to justifiably say it changes everything that the previous continuity ever did.

And that is rather fortunate, because if they had made first contact in 2016 rather than 1996, people might conceivably be throwing money into the Facebook, Reddit, and Twitter interfaces to the Borg-net, rather than foolishly engaging in any futile resistance. The cube-ships would be ruthlessly harvesting our most shareable lolcat videos, and everyone would be walking around in identical jeans-and-hoodies outfits and calling everything "amazing".

A reboot is really the only way to restore the franchise to its original mission to simplify today's social issues and frame them up against the backdrop of a more progressive starfaring society, so that people can get some perspective on those things that might otherwise be too close to home in a somewhat entertaining way.

For instance, given the South China Sea situation, I would guess that at some point, the new Star Trek series would introduce some alien species as proxies for China, Vietnam, Philippines, Malaysia, Japan, and maybe even Brunei, and the China-aliens would be constructing artificial dwarf planets out of hazardous nebulae using unlicensed Genesis devices, and using them as bases to harass passing scientific and mercantile traffic. Then some of the people watching would obsess over details and completely miss the broader point.
Exactly! A friend of mine was afraid he wouldn't know how to configure wifi on Linux. I pointed out that he couldn't configure it on Windows either.
Went to a few of these in Malaysia. Really good for team building but the challenge itself is either too hard or too easy. There is no replay value either because the staffs are so eager to spoil the solutions and tricks after a game.

Definitely give it a try though. Go to the bigger ones because they tend to have space for neat tricks like sliding door/book shelves etc.

It's the typical bullshit.

This sentence annoys me more every time I read it:

>"This new series will premiere to the national CBS audience, then boldly go where no first-run Star Trek series has gone before – directly to its millions of fans through CBS All Access,”

Why can they not simply write in a way is comprehensible?

"The first episode will be on CBS. Subsequent episodes will be on "CBS All Access"”.
I often end up marking node_modules as "excluded", which sucks a bit for autocomplete/intellisense style code insights, but really speeds things up. Switching branches seems to be the primary thing that grinds it to a halt.

I tried Kotlin in one small project, which used Java API and I can recommend it. There are a lot of handy features there.

There were quite a bit of breaking changes, but, of course, it's expected from unreleased language. It wasn't hard to fix things.

For me Kotlin is in sweet spot between verbose Java and complex powerful Scala. From a practical point of view, I would prefer it to both. Any competent Java programmer will catch Kotlin fast enough, and it has almost anything I would want from a "improved Java" language.
All the movies except 1 and 4 were essentially action movies. And 4 was mostly a fish out of water comedy.

Yes, I've deliberately used it that way in the past:

newDate = new Date(refDate.getFullYear(), refDate.getMonth(), refDate.getDate(), refDate.getHours()+1000, refDate.getMinutes())

letting it deal with the wrapping of larger date/time parts as needed.
It is still just fine to keep using bcrypt, scrypt, and PBKDF2 --- but it wouldn't make much sense for them to have a Password Hashing Competition and not conclude it by recommending some algorithm over all the others.

The real distinction isn't between apps that use the PHC winner and apps that use "legacy" password hashes, but instead between apps that use serious password hashes at all and apps that just use SHA hashes.

Still: an interesting development!
keep it looks better than before
It's worse that that: telling people the facts doesn't necessarily change their minds, often it just hardens their existing beliefs. See, for example, The Backfire Effect

http://youarenotsosmart.com/2011/06/10/the-backfire-effect/

In cases where people have very strong beliefs, they would rather abandon reality than change them.

It's quite common in tech, but is it worth worrying about? US society survives despite all the birthers, con-trail conspiracists, creationists, anti-vaxxers, Holocaust deniers, people who think the moon landings were staged in Arizona, and so on.

In that context, I think Wikipedia is doing pretty well....

We believe in using the right technology for the task, and we use a mix of rails, backbone, python, scala, elasticsearch, and postgres.

I downvoted you for parroting a bunch of unrelated "red pill" nonsense in order to advance an insolent, regressive agenda instead of providing a meaningful commentary on the article or the other comments here.
This article is essentially an approximation of a Jay-Z song, celebrating the triumph over adversity and haters. If Wikipedia started out selling crack the similarities would be overwhelming.

Good on ya, Wikipedia! You've come a long way up.
JPMorgan Athena | NYC and London | Full Time | ONSITE
I expect you’ve heard of JPMorgan at some point, but probably aren’t familiar with Athena. We’re the bank’s in-house platform for cross-asset pricing, risk management, trade management, e-trading, etc.. There’s a core division (cleverly named “Athena Core”) of about 150 engineers which builds a platform and development libraries that are then used by over 5,000 developers throughout the bank.
The Core Analytics team currently has 8 members and is responsible for extending Athena to research teams and for reducing the gap between research and production use. To give a simplified example, our typical customer is a quant who might be attempting to create a new pricing model. Core Analytics would help him access relevant data sets, explore that data with a library of common statistical functions to, verify the new model with a back-testing framework, and then finally publish the model to production.
Python and C++ are the primary languages, but we’re open to considering exceptional developers with any background. Finance experience is certainly not required. Our two main offices are in NYC and London; we also have satellites in Tel Aviv, Tokyo, and Singapore.

Email Christine.h.ko@jpmchase.com to apply.

The short answer is probably not, for the simple reason that CSS and HTML support in email is generally pretty poor. Most webmail clients rely on having to rewrite CSS (for obvious reasons), which means that properties tend to be on a whitelist rather than a blacklist, and I think @font-face is usually not on that list. For many clients, there is also hopefully remote resource load prevention that prevents it from working.
