Rather than 'education', continuous learning is required to stay productive. Ultimately however, individuals are responsible for their own productivity.

Gokna noticed, too. "Poor babies. They're the only ones she can scare. Watch! I'm gonna Give Ten to the Honored Pedure."

She turned away from the window and ran to the side wall—and then up the rack of audio tapes. The girls were seven years old, much too big for acrobatics. Oops. The rack was freestanding. It swayed out from the wall, tapes and assorted junk sliding to the edge of each shelf. Gokna reached the top before anyone but Viki realized what was happening. And from there she leaped out, grabbing the top molding of the soundstage window.

The rest of her body swung down against the glass with a solid splat sound. For an instant, she was a perfect Ten splayed out across the window. On the far side of the glass, Pedure stared in stupefied shock. The two girls shrieked with laughter. It wasn't often you could give such a perfect Ten, flaring your underwear in the target's face.

I sold my first ~500 to DPR when he was building liquidity in preparation to open Silk Road. As I recall, he was offering about $1. That was after I totally got the lack of anonymity, but before the first reliable mixing services.

I did well on investments and earnings from late 2012 through late 2013. And I managed to invest much of it in co-located servers. But it was nothing like $500K. So it goes.
If they can't maintain their valuation they'll do what every other company before and after them did - be worth less, and if they can't find a sustainable valuation they can be worth nothing.

Many common file formats have one, two or more metadata storage formats.

JPEG/JPG stores Exif (camera data), IPTC & XMP (authors data).

MP3 stores ID3 (authors data)

Editing the metadata doesn't reduce the quality of the file content itself. So you won't get a degenerated music file or a lower quality picture. So I really don't understand your sentense: "I don't want to alter metadata as part of regular operation."

Nailbot: A ‘nail art’ robot that inspires creativity
I've done this before. I've failed every time, but quitting the job was more about regaining my freedom to decide how I should be spending my time. It allowed me to wake up and work on something I was excited about instead of hitting snooze 5 times before sitting in traffic for an hour and then being bored as fuck all day at work.

If you can afford it and you know you can get another job if you fail, it's a fine decision and I'd highly recommend it.

I do. I actually pay for ~30% fewer ads ($5/month on Contributor) whereas I could easily just use uBlock.

There are few reasons I do this: (1) uBlock is overzealous -- it breaks some websites and I'm not interested enough to tweak it to not break them. (2) Sites I like (e.g., boingboing, The Sweethome) don't get any money when I use uBlock, but they do if I use Contributor

I use Google contributor, but only because I want something like this to succeed. I don't actually like the implementation they have. The biggest thing for me? I can't see where my money is going. At the end of the month, I want a breakdown of where my money went.

I want to know that when I went and visited John Smith's blog, he earned $0.13 from that visit. Contributing feels good when you know where your money is going. It's like a charity - you want to know your money went to a cause you care about. Right now I think Patreon has a better model, but I like the smaller increments that Google Contributor offers.

Yeah, when I need neighbouring pixels I extract overlapping chunks. As far as the edge of the scene - there aren't any perfect solutions that I know of. You could try to fudge it by modifying the algorithm to handle the edges with fewer pixels, or perhaps use data from different scenes as an approximation. Or you may simply lose the data there.

There is also a huge cultural element to this. The element of trust is a huge problem in most countries and in my opinion this will make it hard for carpooling to scale as a business idea.
The important thing is to keep secrets at the correct level of detail. 'What an invention does' is generally what you should be okay telling just about anyone. 'How it does it' is where you keep it secret or get patent protection.

Reducing it to practice is the function of the inventor. That is the difference between a wannabe inventor and an inventor. In short, if you don't yet know 'how it does it', you don't really have anything to keep secret yet. Now sure, some ideas are so simple that once you know what it is, figuring out how to do it is child's play. But I note that you didn't reveal an example of a new eating utensil (which could be really cool), but instead you revealed a type-on-air keyboard which probably has non-trivial development costs and risks. How it works is worth protecting in that case.

Investment has different levels of risk and reward. Inventions which have not yet been reduced to practice are very high risk. If you can't attract investment at the current level of perceived risk, you ought to do what you can to drive out risk or show that the risk is lower than perceived. This usually means doing much of the development on your own (typical garage inventor) or establishing a good business case for paying the development costs (finding the customer before development).

I don't know if creativity can be taught or not. I have had classes on creativity, and some of the people who come out of those classes are quite creative. On the other hand, I have also had classes on math, and a few of the people who come out of those classes can do math. I'm still not sure if math can be taught, much less creativity. ;)

Slightly similar, I bonded musically with people coming from totally different genre. But we shared an approach and a feeling toward music that made us share a lot.

It's not uncommon after a number of phases, you start to relate on other planes of abstractions and not on first level constructs.

If I may, I've also felt this religiousness coming up pretty much everywhere. Even if it doesn't impact us as much, architectures, languages (pure vs impure;), project practices, all of them are subject to cause emotional splits between people. We have to accept and live in peace with how people feel about anything as long as they do the same. Although balance is fragile.

I wish more people reached that conclusion about thinking across groups and see what's beneath the surface of each person and community.

> Creationism and biblical literalism are relatively recent "innovations" in some Christian traditions.

This isn't really true. You're right that metaphorical interpretations are very old, but so are literal ones. The catholic church, who pioneered some great non-literalist interpretations, also used to excommunicate you if you didn't believe all of humanity shared a single male ancestor named Adam.

Pick a random medieval christian peasant, and ask him whether the Ark was a real boat, and let's place wagers on what his answer will be.

The genesis stories were literal before they were metaphorical, and opinions about the relative percentages of fact to metaphor have shifted wildly based on century, region, and denomination.

Thank you. Yes, I'm aiming to raise $1000, and we have 93% so far with 3 days to go.

Kickstarter is really interesting to me for encouraging creativity; I personally fund many nonprofit projects at $1 akin to a thank you tip jar. I also donate more directly to long term open source projects.

I'm trying the Kickstarter for Num as an experiment. The $1000 goal is covering some of my time to push the project forward, from a little hobby program to a real general purpose tool. Top improvements are adding descriptive stats (e.g. skewness, kurtosis), IO options (e.g. comma separated values, floating point precision), documentation (e.g. tutorial guide, helper guide), contactability (e.g. dedicated accounts on GitHub, Twitter), etc.

Where I'm hoping to go from here is getting Num in the hands of more people, especially for developers, sysadmins, and hackers who want a quick way to do stats. Num is a great candidate for Unix distros because it's lightweight, simple, and runs on so many systems.
It doesn't sound like the guy said, "Let us search for an external deadline so that we can rally this team!" Instead, it sounds like a reasonable amount of time ahead he said, "Hey, there's a cool chance to demo this publicly coming up -- let's see if we can get it out there!"

Sure, the guy was in some sense a manager, but this isn't some corporate situation with external motivation as one of the few rewards. It's a small team of people who are into the idea enough to work on it on the side, to begin with. The article presents this as an internally chosen external deadline, and those can often be really useful.
No, it doesn't make any difference at all.

The apparent beauty of the text says nothing about the truth of the text. Otherwise the King James Bible, considered by most English scholars to be one of the most, if not the most beautiful work of english literature would be entirely true.

I have no opinion on the honesty of Muhammad, it is irrelevant. He might have heard voices, or seen angels and visions on his head that were so real to him as the voice and sight of his own wife. His honesty makes no difference on the truth. Otherwise the visions and revelations of the most honest and righteous Buddhist monks would all be true.

The rate at which an idea spreads has no connection with the truth of the idea. Otherwise Christianity, Mormonism, Hinduism, Buddhism, and even Scientology would all be true.

The truth must stand on its own, in any language, spoken by any or no man. If an idea requires fear and intimidation to make itself true, then it needs no further examination.

I'm surprised that China eats more meat per capita (17%) than most of the rest of the world.

Hong Kong is at the top (29%), followed by Argentina (19%), Vietnam (18%), and then China and Australia, both at 17%.

China's lead even holds up in absolute Calorie terms -- 509 Calories vs 469 in the US. However, interestingly, the Chinese eat less mass of meat per capita than the US. I wonder if that's due to eating more energy-rich parts of animals or if their animals are bred to have more energy-rich meat.

This can come back to bite you. Protect recordings in public places from admission and suddenly the only law enforcement is able to admit such evidence, as only they could ever get a warrant before hand (not private citizens). Letting public spaces be fair game for admissible recordings will protect the public because it can be used by the public.

A clear example here being a drone you're flying in a park. With that interpretation only law enforcement's drones' recordings would ever have a chance of being used in court. This is about protecting your right to have equal footing with law enforcement for evidence.
Three digit alexa rank, that's not bad.
I've never had a problem with that, and it's pretty straight forward IMO.

Work computers stay at work. My computers stay at home (or at least not at work). If I create something outside of work, not using proprietary data/algorithms/whatever from work, and using my own computers, then it's mine. I'd never work somewhere that tried to claim ownership of work I did outside of work.

Needless to say, common sense applies, and it's probably not a good idea to have a side project that competes with your employer (even indirectly), helps their competition, or makes them look bad somehow.

Well "ad fraud" is an official name for this kind of behavior. Consider in an advertiser's perspective, I pay to get someone see my ad, and I even pay more if people click on it. Now I've paid the click price but my ad is not seen by any real person. That is fraud.

It might not be the user who use the adblocker committing the fraud, but that user is getting involved. And the website ( unfortunately might not have any control on this entire thing) is pulled into this chaos by the user and adblocker, and will get harmed.

Does anybody know what the technical specs of the bug microphone is? Is there some equivalent piece of equipment a civilian can buy?

I enjoy articles like this which trace the development of familiar concepts with unfamiliar origins. I find they're a strong aid to understanding, and interesting pieces of conversation in themselves. However, I take issue with the author's depiction of Gauss as possibly appropriating some credit from where it was due and the emphasis placed on the conflict with Legendre. The history of science is filled with such incidents where a discovery was made independently by two or more scientists close in time, and the usual convention is that the first demonstration is credited as the discovery in textbooks (even if the concept has gone on to bear the other scientist's name). Regardless, this is one kind of content I like to find online.
Nothing changes really that much between 1950 and now, on the world scale.

Japan's debt has been sold at generally less than its inflation rate for a decade, making servicing costs essentially below zero over the last decade. While that may not be stable, you can't get into a debt spiral with a negative interest rate.

That said, they have been running large deficits for a long time which is a separate issue.
A lot of those aren't quite like this one, though. The author did some smart things:

* app received press before quitting job

* app started making revenue before quitting job

* author had time to watch the app's trajectory before quitting job

* author diversifies and helps other people make successful apps, across a variety of categories, rather than betting it all on games.

The point of reading success and failure stories is to contrast them as well as feel inspiration or schaudenfreude as indicated.

Maybe the only answer is to air-gap the two devices and have the user input a secret code shown on the dongle. So you press the button, type the code on the website and log in that way.

Edit: Or maybe have two devices: one dumb flash storage and a device that actually computes your key. You press the "compute my key" button while the storage is connected to the keychain, then disconnect it from the keychain and connect it to the pc. Next time you connect it to the keychain, it's wiped before use and never ever read.
