I think it's going to be safe. It demonstrably saves much much more than it costs, so conservatives will likely support it from a cost cutting/reducing government "waste" perspective. Liberals will support it because it's smart and makes government run better.

I think only an extremely cynical view would suggest this program isn't safe, a view in which conservatives intentionally dismantle good cost-saving government programs while leaving bad ones for the sole purpose of giving government a bad name.

"Zenefits launches free payroll software for small businesses IN THE USA", I'm guessing the title should be.
I second that, I have discovered more new artists, and new releases through Rdio than anywhere else. Hopefully their competition does better with discovery in the future.
I'm not an expert. C++ uses -> for pointer dereference, e.g. o->p refers to the property "p" of object "o". I would assume C# inherits from C++ and had to define another operator.

Java probably followed Scala's notation, which is probably derived from mathematics where ↦ is an application (a function) and ⇒ is a simple logical implication.

I've never had anything but "intro" offers.

I call up every year (I set a calendar reminder) and remind them that I have other choices. Bam I am yet another offer for the next year.

Good for you man, those other things are priority too!
Catalog consistency was probably a licensing issue and not technological, I should point out. Same reason movies just disappear from Netflix every so often.
Alaska airlines recently did a seat-redesign to seats that don't recline, but supposedly have ergonomic improvements. The in-seat cards advertise that the designs are by Recaro (a well-known premium baby car-seat maker).

Didn't seem to make much difference at all: the biggest variance was still absolute space: the "premium economy" seats were no worse, the non-premium economy were no better.
As someone with both lower back pain (a slight recline helps a lot) and long legs (the person in front bumps me) it was pretty much a wash.
I'm skeptical about making broad assumptions about human applicability in this study, too, but that hardly makes it flagworthy. They've identified specific chemical pathways as a metric for concern; let's see if human effects are parallel.

And I'm a longtime low-carber with as much as 15 continuous months on a KD, so I'm not a KD skeptic.
By industry-oriented programs, I'm referring to institutions of higher learning which have tailored their cirricula primarily to prepare their students for employment in industry. I contrast this with those which are intended to prepare their students for research.

I've said nothing of depth about the merits of OCaml or FP in itself. I'm simply pointing out that the blog post clearly identifies the use of OCaml as a competitive advantage without discussing any of its drawbacks, whether these arise from the nature of the language itself or for historical reasons. This makes the article significantly less useful for a person trying to select a language for their company's codebase, which I take to be the whole point of writing the post to begin with.

Perhaps the real goal of the post was to attract the attention of OCaml developers, rather than discussing the titular question "Why we use OCaml." If this is the case, I'm sorry for having wasted my time criticizing it.
You can random walk the social graph as deeply as you want to: click on a contributor to a repository, then explore a repository they've also contributed to, then click on a different contributor in that repository, ad infinitum.
Fundamentally, you can't read people's minds, so you can't use surveillance to stop individual actions.

A single motivated individual could likely have pulled off the worst of these (the theater shootings).

The barrier of entry is low: any of [peculiar mental configuration], [willingness to die], [overwhelming frustration or disenfranchisement with society] or [extreme anger] plus access to a firearm (or some chemicals, a machine shop and time... even access to a vehicle might be enough).

Given that many statistics indicate that mental health is deteriorating globally across the developed world (not just due to aging population or drugs, either, but due to fundamental structure-of-society issues), Donald Trump's "this would have been different if there were more weapons on people" takes the cake as the most idiotic response.

We can't stop these things, we can only make them universally reviled, and that's already the case.

What I find interesting is the response of leaders: France has said it will ignore EU rules, increase its prison and military budget, and refuse to drop the latter for another 5 years citing 'national security' (following the destructive and viral American model obviating respect for treaties, as China and others now do). Simultaneously, it redoubles bombing of already suffering Syrian targets, presumably on suddenly fortuitously acquired intelligence. One of tens of remote wars since the mid 20th century in which vastly powerful western militaries permanently shatter the fabric of societies half-way around the world, deploying nationalist rhetoric that wouldn't have been astray in Rome, and often leaving power vacuums that cause chaos for decades or longer, one is forced to ask the question: who are the real terrorists? Read some Chomsky.

“The Americans came,” he said. “They took away Saddam, but they also took away our security. I didn’t like Saddam, we were starving then, but at least we didn’t have war. When you came here, the civil war started.” http://www.thenation.com/article/what-i-discovered-from-inte...
Besides that, why are all these response time numbers multiple of 10, are these rounded up, or is it the precision of the timestamps used to compute these?
This is a valid question, not sure why you're being downvoted.
Spotify now has a playlist called discover weekly or something that is songs they pick for you once a week, and in my experience it's actually pretty good. I've discovered several artists that way. And I also found Spotify radio to be awful.
You're essentially creating what some people have taken to referring as "tulpas".

> That old saying that you can't put a price on human life

It's a nice platitude, but it's obviously untrue. The unstated implication is that a human life actually has infinite value, which is even more obviously untrue.

It's easy to find an upper bound on the value of a human life; would you be willing to pay ten trillion dollars of public money (which would otherwise be hypothetically used to finance schools, research, etc.) to save the life of a single child?

I largely agree with you that these traits can be learned (let's exclude the fact that hormones affect mood and thus personality). However, growing up in a system that pushes this binary also affects personality. Thus, while I don't think your sex plays too big of a role into this, your gender (see: social constructs) totally does. You grew up in that environment with those expectations, and that forms you in some way.

> We don't have to push women to be stereotypes just to have successful businesses and families.

Totally agree with that, despite my above comment.
I was about to refute your argument by proposing creating a union type. Here is a relevant reference:
https://realworldocaml.org/v1/en/html/functors.html

(This idiom is a bit of a historical error. It would be better if compare returned a variant with three cases for less than, greater than, and equal. But it's a well-established idiom at this point, and unlikely to change.)

Eiffel is similar to ocaml :
http://www.infor.uva.es/~felix/referencia_smart_eiffel/libra...

Does anyone know the advantages of the above signature over the Haskell alternative? Because this seems to be more obvious and easier to read. So there are more than one language guilty of using a ternary operator for compare.

Haskell does define the appropriate constructors, rightly so:

I really like spotify because I can use it on my phone, PS3, laptop, etc. My phone can be the remote to my sound system in another room.

I also have a small data plan on my phone so I do not stream music. Spotify allows me to download their songs for playing offline.

Does Google Music provide these or similar?
Black friday. They won't have any past 12:01 AM.
That's the part that intrigued me. Chapter 11 means the original investors get the short end right? why would they agree to this acquisition? or do they get money back, and tax-payers cover the losses?
There are lots of non-profits that will gladly take the donation. Very, very few have made it as easy to donate as 18F has.

Perhaps the lesson here is that non-profits need to make it as easy and clearly-defined as 18F has in order to receive more donations.
Are there any more recent works that develop on this idea with new research and historical analysis, or is this 40-year old book still the best there is?
Not likely; insurance companies have no incentive or motivation to reduce the cost of healthcare. The more money that moves through the healthcare system, the more money that passes through the insurance company. That gives them power, giant transient account balances, and "too big to fail" status.
I honestly think the defaults were made bad on purpose to force people to learn how to configure it.
It may be illegal for pharmacies operating in Canada to buy from those manufacturers then, I don't know. I'm just saying there are possible additional risks with buying drugs of unknown provenance. It's not necessarily as simple as "just buy it from China or India".

Two .map-s one after another is code smell (and also a bit slow). Why not combine them into one?

Do standard collections have groupBy? You can go a long way with groupBy and zipWith operations, which are a pair like map-reduce but for in-memory handling.
Many others too. QUADPACK, LSODA, LAPACK, MINPACK etc.
I've been thinking of using xcalib to invert my display colors to reclaim a sane black background.

My terminal/editor have always been dark background, but eventually I had enough of the web's blinding conventions [0], and installed a browser extension. But it doesn't work as well as it should and I'm thinking a blanket inversion would be preferable.

It seems like xcalib (and associated machinery) only supports a simple RGB LUT though, which means green turns to purple etc. It's unfortunate that it doesn't have the universal approach of LUT->matrix->LUT like a calibratable monitor, so the invert could be done in say HSV space.

[0] White paper makes sense because it's a reflective medium that relies on ambient light. A glaring white background is the wrong choice for an emissive display. Notice how visual art applications (photoshop, maya, etc) default to a grey background and dark color scheme.
DARPA is one of the only government science sponsors that doesn’t come under fire from Republican lawmakers for wasting taxpayer dollars. Money spent on science is considered a waste, unless/until you slap the name “defense” on.

Look at the nonsense Lamar Smith is currently putting NOAA through. http://www.wired.com/2015/11/congress-chief-climate-denier-a...

Having Smith as the chairman of the Science, Space, and Technology Committee of the House (which oversees research funding for NASA, NOAA, EPA, NSF, etc.) is a travesty, and he individually deserves blame, but the whole GOP leadership is on board with his basic goals and tactics.
It'd be interesting to re-graph the US budget with the "science paid for by the military" going into the science slice of the pie, rather than the defense slice.
I was just looking at this one:

I actually like that it's "red-ish all the time" because I'd prefer that my circadian rhythm match the outside lighting conditions. My eyes (and most others I know) adjust, and it no longer looks orange (in fact, non-adjusted screens start to look blue). Of course the lights around my apartment adjust too, otherwise the screen would continue to look off.

I generally have a hard time getting to sleep, and most mornings feel like I've been run over by a steamroller, so I don't mind a little red tint if it makes even a tiny difference in the quality of my sleep.
Short term good, catastrophic long term.

Much rather we tackle social issues foreign and domestic.

For one, let's stop using violence to solve other people's problems. Violence is only justified in defense, as they're invading us.

Everything else should be through discussion in order to foster understanding and more importantly: empathy.
The irony of this question should be apparent if you search for packages on npm today. How many "new projects" are there?

In answer, why not create a new project? NPM INC controls npm, hasn't contributed it to the node foundation (despite playing a pivotal role in creating said foundation), and hasn't been especially good at taking contributions recently.

A new project dodges all those existing problems, demonstrates alternate approaches are both feasible and compatible, and destroys the myth that npm is fundamental to node, rather than simply the first of many package management systems that take advantage of node's import semantics.
A shout out for 8tracks! I can search among human-curated playlists by themes/tags, and I often discover songs I like. 8tracks does the discovery part wonderfully for me. I mostly care more about the mood of the music rather than the exact songs, and that use-case is also served perfectly.
You are correct, what I meant was "people." Or they will kill people. My point is that there are a lot of disenfranchised groups currently. Heck even I, a white male in the U.S, is disenfranchised in that the vast majority of my tax money (which I am happy to pay) goes to war and old people (http://whatwepayfor.com/). I don't support war in any way so I am disenfranchised.

Not all disenfranchised groups are killing people. Perhaps we should look at why certain ones do.
Isn't Recaro primarily well known for their racing seats? Rather odd to see the company referenced for its baby seats, is that a local thing for you?
Best is subjective. Google Music is definitely a great music store.

For those wanting a social music experience Spotify is the "best".

For those wanting curated music and a digital radio experience Apple Music is the "best".

For those wanting a hands off service Pandora is the "best".
(i also prefer spotify)

google music also allows you to remote stream music, as long as it has a chromecast plugged in (there's no support outside that afaik)

it also allows you to download music

you can use on your phone and laptop, but i don't think there's console support right now.
Microsoft has pulled the plug on its failed music service, Zune
I work for NNSA actually. There's a ton of codes in the nuclear engineering sector that are written in Fortran and it's the lingua franca of the industry, though C++ and Python are taking over for new projects. One of the biggest codes in the industry (MCNP) is an enormous chunk of Fortran with a lineage going back over 60 years.

It'd be nice to see an LLVM frontend for Fortran; Intel has a stranglehold with ifort due to their excellent vectorization. Hopefully this project can provoke some competition.
You don't need to rename it. When you want to start a new shell, go C-u M-x shell and it will ask you how to name the new shell you just created, with default being shell<2>.
>I don't get the impression there's much magic. She's highly socially skilled around people who are less so.

I try not to believe in magic as well, so I assume there are reasons why a particular founder was judged unsuitable. It's just that those reasons are not explored and all the language used to described the YC process is essentially an appeal to a magic oracle.

>Imagine if Jessica ran a VC firm with two other people like her, plus Paul, and they were trying to fund companies that required immense social skills.

I've never been inside a VC firm, so it's difficult for me to imagine precisely what that would be like. Are you saying that the scenario in this hypothetical is different from YC?

>The founders would all be excellent conversationalists and promoters, and could probably fake the tech talk enough that Jessica couldn't tell. PG would be able to spot the buzzwords and call them on it, and it would seem magical to the rest because they don't know SQL from C++.

It sounds like a decent strategy. Certainly not foolproof, but at least you can filter out the people who understand the language, but not yet the technicals...I think.

Yes. I've become more disgusted by those who use this attack as opportunism to push for more surveillance.
We can see the tax loopholes for that in action today, people already set up spurious companies in order to shift income tax into lower rate corporation tax. With no corporate income taxes, I expect there would be a sudden burst of very dodgy single-person 'companies'.
I wonder what the direction of causation is. Perhaps the issue is not the cool, thoughtful, and kind are pushed out of the forums, but they are successful in engaging people on a personal level and are less motivated to go public. The obnoxious, however, however tend to get avoided on the personal level and find it easier to get an audience in a public forum.
Sure, but the government is under no obligation to support restaurants through soup kitchen contracts. Their mandate is to feed the poor. They should choose the option that lets them achieve this goal as efficiently as possible. Social, technological and economic changes that make it harder for restaurants to compete can and will happen, and it's the job of the restaurants to respond in a competitive way if they want those contracts, or shift their focus to a more lucrative sector, or go out of business. That's not smug and elitist (as the top level comment implied), that's the system we have and it's responsible for lifting more people out of poverty than anything we've tried before.

You can safely ignore the rest of my comment if you like, it's sort of me just rambling because there's a place to do it.

An important concept that I think some people miss with free markets and "fairness" is that it's all relative to the time frame you are looking at. Yes, it's possibly more fair (depending on how you determine fairness) to right now to completely redistribute all wealth equally between all world inhabitants, but will that result in overall better outcomes for people 50 years from now? If we had done that 50 years ago, would we be better off right now? 100 years ago? To my view, free markets are the best way we've found so far to increase wealth overall over time, so it helps prevent local maxima effects and eventually leads to better outcomes. Unfortunately that means some people get the short end of the stick, but it's important to remember that the short end is short relative to the other end, and the stick is getting longer overall as time goes on. That's not to say I believe in a completely hand-off approach to markets. They can and are manipulated at times, and there are runaway effects that should be mitigated.
> I'm not mad at the guy, he can do whatever he wants. It's just kind of a crappy thing to do knowingly to other people and, if widespread, could have some strange externalities.

I'm confused by this. According to this logic, it's a crappy thing to do to undercut anyone, ever, in any circumstance. Is that what you think?

The problem isn't that they're collecting DNA, it's that they're linking it to an individual for future identification.

Sure, I left my DNA all over some place I visited, but nobody has any idea who "I" am based on it, in the same way they don't have my fingerprints on file.

EDIT: Also note the DNA of everyone born after 1983 in California is on file.
The article you think they copied is http://www.wpexplorer.com/best-builder-wordpress/ ?

I couldn't find any actually duplicated text?

They are similar, but what do you expect from this kind of site? A list of products, a short blurb for each, an introduction. I'd guess every bigger WP site has an article similar to these.

Yes, it is possible the WPMUdev author saw the other article and thought "Good idea, should write an article like that", but the timing could be coincidence as well. And even if they did, they didn't directly copy it. And if it was coincidence, I can understand they are pissed
It is interesting this is being asked here. Even more interesting is/are the responses.

My first thought (after the initial thoughts of OMG and etc.) when I heard about the Paris attacks (lower case on attack is mine - when did attack stop being a verb?) was the upcoming attack that would be perpetrated against civil liberties in the name of freedom.

Maybe I am in the minority, and honestly my assessment is that readers here are likely to be in the same minority group; but from a philosophical point of view the rapid reversion to tightened control and monitoring by governments was a significant setback to our race as a whole and the great strides made in last 200-300 years regarding personal freedoms. We can marry whomever we want in the US now, but heaven forbid I wanted to have a private conversation.

I don't know what our future holds; but I am quite sure that this won't bode well. Knee jerk reactions are now a specialty of all governments and critical analysis and discussions are no longer in vogue.

I sincerely hope that Edward Snowden has nothing he was looking forward to in the US.

Well, swaps will not move south any faster or slower than treasuries, usually, but the former will be a leveraged instrument so will tend to force the holder's hand to close much more quickly.

Generally I did not intend my post to exonerate swaps as a dangerous instrument. They are. Just to say that they cannot be equated with outright debt.

That's yelp.com detecting your mobile browser and asking whether to redirect you to a URL using its private (yelp:// or somesuch) URL schema, which the app is then registered as the handler for.

This, on the other hand, is Google sending you directly to a yelp://-or-somesuch URL.

Basically, Google is taking charge of doing the client-negotiation step, so (if this catches on) sites don't have to worry about doing that redirect themselves any more.
