Mojang/MS are working on version 1.9 but the latest version released (by default) to clients is 1.8.8, the rest are snapshots of 1.9 (IE not official version releases.. which means in turn modding tools and server frameworks will not upgrade until the full release of 1.9)

I was going to slam this "reddit style comment thread" but this is actually a great example of the Dockercraft in fiction!
Unfortunately it has courts, police, and a military. It has nearly 10 million citizens, and in articles about its territorial gains, it even appears on maps. It even collects taxes, repairs roads and runs electric utilities.

The sad reality is that it is both quintessentially Islamic, and a state. If we refuse to acknowledge the reality of the situation today, we have no chance of destroying it in the future.
I've actually started to do 5 minute pomodoros. It's insane, but also a lot of fun. Especially when pair programming it's great because you can start discussing an issue and suddenly you look at your timer and think, "Woah... 30 seconds just went by. Let's just try it one way. We can change it later if we want". I also write down what I've done at the end of the 5 minute pomodoro. If it is "nothing", then it's a good flag to say that I have a problem.
>Except that it's really hard to read on a wide screen.

I think the issue is - who gets to decide how wide the content is. Is it the user or the website? Or to put it another way, does the act of maximizing a window represent an intent or does it represent a default error state that needs to be worked around by laying out the content in a different way.

I think that the user should get to decide how wide they want the content to be. For almost all GUI applications 'Maximize' has always meant "I want to see more of it".

>There are good reasons for things in design like column/page width/ratios, margins, line spacing, font family/size etc. purely from usability standpoint (ignoring subjective/stylistic choices).

What are those non-subjective reasons?
You actually can host the Google Analytics JS file locally, though I'm not sure it's an officially supported configuration.
Amazon's UX designers feel the same way. G+'s card layout does not make it easy to infer what's the latest vs the most commented on item and what the logic is behind it's positioning laterally. I think basic gestalt principles in cognitive science would support the problem with laterally adjacent but vertically edge overlapping tile placement.

Yes, because it have become an institution and transformed into rules of society in many countries. Many people are using it as a cargo cult without studying its philosophy and many monks are behaving in non-mindful ways.

The teaching and the religion around it are like science and public knowledge about it. Of course many people know some laws of physics but not everyone is capable of building a rocket.
The EU is imposing a tax on financial transactions

The devil is in the details, but at first glance that looks like an absolute disaster in terms of stock trading. For example, if a mutual fund bought a stock twice in a year, and then sold that stock twice in a year, that's 0.4% being gifted to the government right there? From just that mutual fund. And another 0.4% from whoever is on the other side? Wow!

Am I reading that right?

Also it says "financial institutions" but looks like it will also apply to individuals. The Wiki page says "If acting on behalf of a client, e.g., when acting as a broker, it would be able to pass on the tax to the client."

I think that could dry up trading volumes by about 95% in the affected countries. For example, when I sell stock now, a market maker takes the other side. But he won't want to if he has to pay 0.1% for the privilege. So now I can't sell a stock to an intermediary? I need to wait for another investor or a mutual fund to take the other side of my trade?

What am I missing? That can't be right?

Edit: one immediate thing that sticks out is that "derivatives" will be created to replace stocks, since the tax savings is about 90% by doing that. For example, let's say a stock costs $10.00. Why not create an "American style" call option on that stock, strike price $0.01, expiration date 2099. The value of that option is $9.99. But the tax rate is 0.01% on the derivative, vs 0.1% on the stock itself. Someone hasn't thought things through here.
It certainty felt like the blog posts about M# struck a zeitgeist nerve. I doubt it was ever really intended for release, though.
This hits close to home. I am a software developer in Grand Rapids, Mi and we have a so so burgeoning startup scene here.

We have a couple incubators here but they are not particularly great and their money is expensive with few useful benefits. We have a decent concentration of software developers in town. Cheap office space and ok rents make boot strapping a bit easier. But like everywhere else we don't have nearly enough software developers here on the founders need to start scaling. I can think of a number of companies in town that are having problems due to a lack of devs.

But at least we have large tech meetup scene that likes to share.
I can probably help. My wife does compensation for a living and has access to troves of data. More and more it is normalized wi little variance except for region based on cost of living. Years of experience plays a part too.

Also tact you can take is determine what your boss makes and perhaps work down from there.
Maybe I'm missing something here, but what is the benefit of using the "21 Bitcoin Computer" here (versus a $400 equivalent computer)?

The changes are OK, I suppose.

I read stuff on G+ a lot, my preference being on my Note 4 rather than on a laptop size browser. Maybe it just because I have a lot of interesting people in my circles, but in any case there is usually a lot of interesting (and even useful) information.

Just a point on the creative nature of the role for your future hiring...

Hiring top creative talent is massively difficult. A lot of that challenge stems from how hard it is to properly convey what you are looking for in their work. Often times they either have what it takes or they don't, and to some extent, it is talent that can't be taught no matter how much time you invest.

Starting with contract work is probably the best bet if you are still zeroing in on what you need. But finding companies that do what you like and poaching their designers is another approach.

Without knowing the kind of feedback you've provided to your current designer, I think the other thing to look at is whether they are getting the feedback they need from you despite the time you've spent giving it. If you are unclear in your feedback, or are communicating it in a way that isn't super actionable to a designer, it can end up with both parties being extremely frustrated with no way forward.

Others here have given great advice on how to let them go, so best of luck with resolving this in a clean way.
Considering it's been back after 11 times, I'm going to say that yes, you do still have an account.

> But he won't want to if he has to pay 0.1% for the privilege

Market makers will take the other side of that trade, they will just price the tax into what they are offering you, so you will pay both ends of it.
Why do they only cache it for two hours? Do they want changes to be that quick to take?

> if a mutual fund bought a stock twice in a year, and then sold that stock twice in a year

I think the idea is that such moves contribute to the instability of the market as a whole, and hence should pay a small penalty for it.

> I think that could dry up trading volumes by about 95% in the affected countries.

Yes, it is not entirely clear that large trading volumes contribute anything positive to the economy as a whole. There are real people somewhere in the picture who are trying to buy/sell shares in regular and are getting shafted in terms of either buying price or trading fees by high-frequency bots. The tax should even out things a little bit for the average person.
In praise of “boring” technology (2013)
If you click through to the report there are lots of numbers:

http://www.fda.gov/downloads/ForIndustry/UserFees/AnimalDrug...

Most of the antibiotics used for feed are ionophores and tetracyclines. Ionophones aren't used in humans but are only about 40% of the antibiotics used in feed. They are added to cattle feed because they cut down on illness caused by feeding grain (bloat is crazy, consider this a risky click: http://i.imgur.com/GfPvtBx.jpg ).

So most of the resistance concern would be with tetracyclines, where resistance is already a problem for many human infections.

The use of medically useful antibiotics as a feed additive should be stopped. I think it is harder to say that about ionophores.

Is there an ITR process ("Intent To Replace")? Because the issues REALLY got bad when the following was written:

live-build has been deprecated by debian-cd, and live-build-ng
is replacing it. In a purely Debian context at least, live-build
is deprecated. live-build-ng is being developed in collaboration
with debian-cd and D-I.

I'm aware that I'm going to be upsetting people, but this has been
a long time coming and I'm not going to spend time bikeshedding
over naming. I would rather spend that time on integration of live
image creation into official Debian infrastructure and building
the best system for live image creation possible.

Consider this thread marked as wontfix.

https://lists.debian.org/debian-live/2015/11/msg00008.html

So in other words, there was an upset about Daniel not filing an ITP, and then this casual email gets sent saying an entire project has been deprecated, that discussion is not needed as it was a fait accomplis and the hundred and thousands of man hours people contributed to it weren't important?

Not good, and very poorly handled.

> what is the benefit of using the "21 Bitcoin Computer" here

Well, so they can advertise it.

I don't see why using it is any better than using any other Bitcoin API, e.g. Coinbase. A simple proxy library that would allow users after they paid a cent or so would be interesting, although I guess it's pretty much the same as all the wifi hotspots.
"I'm arguing that, if you don't want to be on the receiving end of terrorist attacks from ISIS, the best way to do that is to stop bombing them."

Thus validating the terrorists' approach. They use fear as a means of control and, according to your argument, it is an effective approach. I don't know what the answer is, but I do not think that allowing marauders to wander around the world staking claim to peoples' land is acceptable. Much less when they commit so many atrocities along the way.

If the choice is to: a) stop bombing and be hopeful that the terrorists will go away or b) try to stop the raping, murdering, and other atrocities via violence... I know where I stand.
InstantClick but for Vue.js
I remember coming across this GQ story (1) last year about a 2012 face transplant carried out by the same doctor. The writer highlights the ethical concerns of performing such a risky procedure in those who are otherwise healthy (and are now forced to take immunosuppressive drugs for life). I imagine that having such noticeable facial deformities takes an enormous emotional toll, however, and that these transformations would considerably improve the patient's quality of life.

Basically, they doped their material. Interesting. I'm kind of surprised that people haven't been doing this for a while. Seems like there might be a dozen PhDs to be had.

That's a pretty good bet. It works in cattle, and pigs (which are among the most closely related non-primates). And chickens. So maybe all vertebrates.

But I wonder whether there's more to it than "feed efficiency". Gut flora arguably changes nutrient mix before absorption. And some nutrients likely favor weight gain more than others. So perhaps one can recolonize with gut flora that favor overall health vs weight gain.
This will be on-device... when you "netcast" your browser to the chromecast, it's doing it on your device, so there is lag... when you use the apps, the actual playback/rendering happens on the chromecast, not your phone/tablet/desktop.

You're right, that was really stupid of me. I'll delete it.

Aside from their more practical value, I've often thought that the Erowid experience vaults would make a great jumping off point for a short story collection or novel. There are so many memorable stories and voices buried in there (many quite sad, of course, but others that resemble a 21st century, anonymous version of gonzo journalism, like the witches doing intravaginal DMT or the hardy soul who combined crack and MDMA at Disney World).
DEC had an explicit "never fire anyone if you can possibly avoid it" culture.

There were no significant lay-offs until the last few years.

You might think that's insane, but it created a lot of loyalty. And I'm not sure it's any less sane than the current religion of cutting head counts at the first downturn in profitability, losing all the good people (because they'll be the first through the exits), and crushing the morale of the rest - never mind other popular stupidities like off-shoring to countries that don't speak English, or hiring back fired employees for vastly more money as contractors, because they're the only ones who can make stuff work.

Meanwhile I keep wondering if MS should reinvent itself as a straight R&D company. The research and blue sky side regularly does supercool stuff. The management, strategy, and customer satisfaction cadres - maybe not so great, actually.

America's Exceptional Exclusionism
“Do you guys know Pioneer Square?” the teen said. “When they have events, everybody comes up there. So, on the 26th of November, they have a Christmas tree lighting and some 25,000 people attend. You know, the streets are packed. I thought, I thought if you could help me, you know, to have, to have a truck. … You know, explosives, inshallah.”

“And this is what’s in your heart?” Youssef said. “You know, there’s going to be a lot of children there.”

“Yeah, I mean, that’s what I’m looking for,” Mohamud said.

Providing this is an accurate recounting of events (this IS the FBI we're talking about), it was at this point that I stopped caring about the poor misled / "entrapped" teenager.

He just flat out said he wanted to kill a bunch of people including innocent children. And was given multiple outs by the so-called entrappers.

Entrapment nothing - this sounds like a legitimate sting operation to me that got a dangerous killer off the streets.
Yep, you're correct.

You're trying to compare biology to biology and physics. Biology is messy and squishy and imprecise so you'll have an easier time there. Good luck on the physics front, though, because physics is so fundamental.

We have tremendous ability to make predictions in physics and then test those predictions roughly as many times as we care to. Biology is probably a few hundred years (or more!) from that.

FWIW, the last time I saw a team act like this was the OpenOffice.org team completely reinventing the solver module, even after the incredible hoops they made Kohei jump through in his attempts to get it integrated.

On the plus side: I'd say that was the tipping point where OpenOffice jumped the shark and the LibreOffice project was the ultimate outcome.
So they "may end up being useful" to degree "could do a ton of damage if they go to a competitor".

The way I understood the Google X moonshot strategy is that they put the money behind some idea that seems farfetched or unorthodox. I fully understand $50M doesn't mean anything to the industry as a whole, but you can't tell me it wouldn't impact any single early-stage idea or research direction.

Google is not looking to fund heart disease research in general, they're going to fund one particular potential solution. One that's probably not seeing any of that $20B at this moment. Probably because the idea is farfetched, risky and potentially not financially viable.

I think you're misreading the comment parent, which summarizes the gist of the article and points out that the reading most people will get at first tack is not very charitable towards Jessica. I agree with the comment parent that the article is quite tone-deaf. The whole "she was the mom of the group" is just plain cringeworthy.

You seem to be reading the comment parent as if he's saying "big deal, she was just his girlfriend" but what he's actually saying is, saying "she was a great mom to all of us" is a horrifically tone-deaf anti-feminist statement.

I could be wrong of course but that's my charitable interpretation of the comment parent. It's almost exactly the comment I came here to write, so if the author's intentions are different it's hard for me to see that past the surface-level obviousness of what they're saying.
