The occurrence or absence of cash is too broad to draw a correlation to terrorism. Same goes for weapons. Power vacuums enable organized actors but those same actors (in this case Islamists) can also gain a foothold by coopting the democratic process of a powerful state. None of those things address the mentality of terrorists or the ideology of groups that give rise to organized terrorism.
Thank you for a wonderful idea.
I hadn't heard of it. But I looked it up: €529.38 and impressive specs. This thing looks downright competitive. And dual-SIM‽ That seems pretty uncommon, but probably nice to have.
I didn't downvote your parent, but I suspect the downvotes are for the apparent assumption that negativity is natural and inevitable, and the right thing to do is to give in to the system yourself. Many people believe this is the wrong approach, and that a better approach is to find or build better communities.
Why isn't a monopoly synonymous with successful?
I'm totally not waiting. This isn't the first time Perl6 has been 'production ready' It wasn't all those years ago, and won't be in Jan 2016 either. No jobs, no deep libraries, no SDK support... The list is unending. If we'd put 1/10 the time into minor improvements to perl5 over the past 15 years we'd have most of what people seem to like about Perl6 in a language you can actually get a job. Instead we have two languages with no future instead of one...
A53s are the low power (& low performance) 64 bit ARM cores. They are sort of equivalent to the 32 bit A7. A57 is sort of equivalent to the A15 - high power and high performance, so not quite so useful for laptops.

Having said all that:

- I have a Samsung Chromebook 2012 which is dual A15. It still has great battery life.

- What's really going to be interesting are laptops based around the 64 bit big.LITTLE, for example the Snapdragon (either dual or quad A57 + quad A53), where, if the kernel is smart enough, you can trade battery life for performance depending on what the user is doing.
Children all over the world participate in animal slaughter ever day. That's just a normal part of being a human (historically). Only recently has our society hidden that from view. Now as a result, we're becoming increasingly crueless about the realities of survial.

There is not. This is something the first few lectures in Boneh's Coursera class should address for you.
Dropbox is literally the worst app on my MacBook Air. It's such a POS, it blows my mind that Dropbox can suck so hard on a platform as important as OS X.

I had to give up syncing some parts, because the problems would create a bevy of file conflicts.
Sure, bona fide assholes do that. Maybe what GP is getting at, though, is that there are people out there who, despite genuinely caring for other people, thing that the right way to react to mistakes is shaming and blaming. Whether because they don't know a better way, think that other ways are ineffective, or because of a quasi-religious feeling that it's right to act that way.
Author of the linked post here. Definitely wasn't our intention to leave Desktop behind. A mobile-only world isn't better than a Desktop-only world. Thus, mobile first. Start with the most common scenario and build your way up to other platforms.

That being said, I realize that some apps and intranet sites will be Desktop only by design, and that's fine. We don't want to make your experience worse. Any feedback on that front is greatly appreciated.
Sounds to me, like you have already made the decision. Take a break, recharge the batteries, and if you can make your passion a reality in the meantime, fantastic. Is your side project something that you could leverage crowdfunding for? You might be surprised at the community that would back something they are passionate about as well. Just a thought.
Depends. I've had a Samsung U28D590D (http://www.samsung.com/us/computer/monitors/LU28D590DS/ZA) since October 2014 with a Radeon HD 7970. Only until kernel versions 4.2-4.3 and xf86-video-ati 1:7.6 have I been able to get the DPMS to properly activate. It was maddening having to ssh and and play the prod the DPMS state until the monitor flickers back on. However, I quickly gave up on any HiDPI and desktop environments and stuck with xmonad. Works like a charm now.
Crowdfunding is no small undertaking itself though.
They think they will be charged with corruption and they'd like to own homes and assets in other countries that won't be seized when that happens.
Just because you're cleared in one area/agency doesn't mean you have access to anything of that level or lower. Clearances are entirely need to know.

I'm not sure of the rules today, but 10 years ago clearances in some agencies/departments didn't even transfer to other agencies due to differing requirements.

(I'm not saying that this system is good, just describing how it works.)
I remember reading an article a while ago saying that universities had no incentive to cut costs due to student loans.

If universities didn't have an incentive to cut costs, why the shift to adjuncts? Just to make life shitty for junior faculty? Do you really think that's plausible? Really?
It's a very long tradition, with well-trodden philosophical background: "Primum non nicer" (first, do no harm).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primum_non_nocere

Given the consequences of mistakes, a conservative approach has been considered the best. "It was nature killed her, not me" being easier to stomach than "oops".
I'm not entirely sure what's meant by that comment. The form factor appears to be sticky, so the first time you just click the desktop icon instead of the mobile icon and it will always open in desktop mode.

That said, don't assume your users aren't using mobile browsers :) Based on the videos, that's the intention behind the change. A non-sticky setting would be annoying, but putting it front and center (rather than buried under emulation settings) and having it selected the first time you open dev tools will hopefully get more web site developers thinking about this stuff earlier in the development process.
We're working on it! We heard this feedback a few times. Our intention is to make mobile the default in DevTools, but we don't want to make the experience worse for people building Desktop sites. So we'll come up with a better solution. Stay tuned!
After reading this blog entry and some of the comments it is obvious that tools like KimonoLabs and Blockspring are here to help fill these gaps. Excel is indeed the mother of all list-making apps and will probably stay like this forever.
Why do you think Google Forms / Typeform allow you to (or default) to saving the data in Excel? It just builds a complex list out of those cells..

Basically the reason is that these are the tool our generation has grew up with and we find it hard to tell people to use anything else...

Why am I mentioning those companies? Because they help you make lists from data that isn't necessarily available with an interface - I'd keep an eye on those guys
Another area of concern with plastics and water is with microbeads and pre-production plastics. http://www.theguardian.com/vital-signs/2015/mar/27/microbead...

As part of health care products or just raw (pre-production) they get introduced into our wastewater and stormwater systems.
That's even worse - "Give me six lines written by the most honest man in the world, and I will find enough in them to hang him" - if you're looking for guilty-seeming people, you'll find them.

And if you're trying to prevent atrocities, you'll convict them before they've done anything wrong.
this is a great project! i'm working on a go rewrite right now (i wish the author had chosen a less broken language in the first place lol).

question: how hard would it be to make this work for a nutrient suspension? i'm asking because i have switched to soylent (for obvious reasons that i will not belabor here) but am frustrated that i still have to remember to prepare and consume it at the correct interval.

it would be truly liberating to simply insert a tube into my mouth that would dispense an appropriate amount of fuel into my system at the optimal moment - perhaps triggered by my blood glucose dropping below a particular threshold[1].

It is hard to believe that the leader of a project would look for "the slightest sign of misbehavior" to "jump on people".

When you open source a project you do so so other people can work with you and help you with your "baby", so it would make no sense to jump on people at random. Everybody makes mistakes. But you must be prepared to face toxic people, because believe me, you will face them. And in that case, you mustn't put your ass up: you must get rid of them.
The biggest thing that would help rein in costs would be the elimination of all the "free money," i.e. loans, that students can get to pay those costs. If students can't pay those costs, they won't. Universities will either then reduce their costs, or go bankrupt and be replaced by institutions that will.

This could be accomplished with a couple of changes to current policy. First, remove the restriction that makes student loans nondischargeable in bankruptcy. Second, get the Federal government out of the business of providing student loans. With these changes, private institutions will only lend money for education if they have a reasonable expectation that the money will be paid back. That'll dry up the "free money" spigots.

Back in the 1960's, it was possible for a student to pay for his education by flipping pizzas at night and over the summer, without having to take out loans. That's the standard we should be shooting for.
I'm still optimistic that FPGAs will gradually gather more software engineers into the fold

That would require a lot of retraining, at least that's my personal experience. Before I wrote any Verilog, I had a software background. I wrote lots of code in asm and C. I also did hardware board design and ASIC design (using schematic capture).

The problem is that Verilog tempts people with software experience into using techniques they're familiar with. E.g. some of my first Verilog looked like this (not proper syntax):

if condition-expression1
do something block
else if condition-expression2
do something block
else if condition-expression3
do something block
else
do something block

That's easy to understand software, but it synthesizes into horrible hardware. The problem is that the sequential tests are, necessarily, synthesized into a priority encoder. Which means that the comparison chain becomes a critical timing path. There are lots of traps like that which await software people.

Good hardware design requires a lot more parallelism than what software engineers are typically used to.
It's disappointing, but to be honest, not all that unexpected. A company blocking links to competitors on their service is pretty common, even in the world of social media and instant messaging.

Which raises an interesting point with these services. At what point is it 'wrong' for a company to control what people can link to on their service? This example is pretty tame given it's merely not being linked, but if the link had been removed altogether, would that be 'unethical'?
FYI: For my cats, feeding them some pumpkin has also helped prevent them from vomiting. The fiber helps them process the food better. (talk to your vet before following advice from some anonymous asshole on the internet, yadda yadda, etc.)
Wow, guess I'm the only one who never noticed performance issues on my Macs. I remember when Google Drive first came out years ago, the client caused the system to slow to a halt, so I stopped using it. I'm sure it got fixed, but it only takes one bad experience to kill it for a user.

Interesting thread.

AC made a huge difference is what was desirable weather.

NYC population in 1950: 7,891,957, vs 8,175,133 in 2010.

Houston, Tex. population in 1950: 596,163 vs 2,016,582 in 2010.

PS: Without AC, even NYC get's unpleasantly hot in the summer so there are clear tradeoffs on the east coast.
The netbook idea worked fine for me! (And my current portable is an old Thinkpad X60, which might as well be a netbook.) As far as I could tell the low-end market just got sucked into tablets when the iPad came out. Maybe the economics will work out a bit better now that the tablet hype is over and we've gone through another couple of transistor doublings.

Most of the food is acid anyway, so it's not enough to get and acid mixture, it has to be acid enough to kill the spores. And the acidity varies with time, so I'm not sure how much acidity the initial mixture must have, IAMAFSE.

I've been noticing poor performance too, in addition to some weird bugs. I've had files completely disappear, the response from support is attached below. I still don't have those files back, they were not critical but now I have learned to use dropbox for (slow) syncing between machines, and use an external drive for redundancy.

Support response:

The event you've provided shows and deletion of 12 files as well as an addition of 12 files. When this happens in the exact same event, it is due to a move or to renaming a folder 99% of the time.

To recover your correct previous versions of these files, you may be able to rename the folder back to exactly what is what named prior.
More likely: the cats are just different. I've had cats that were super picky eaters, and ones that will eat almost anything.
- What's really going to be interesting are laptops based around the 64 bit big.LITTLE, for example the Snapdragon (either dual or quad A57 + quad A53), where, if the kernel is smart enough, you can trade battery life for performance depending on what the user is doing.

Now this would be very interesting indeed!
Sadly yes. Mali is half finished, but it stalled.

However, with 2D drivers things are quite OK. This is a humble machine, so 3D acceleration is not that useful.
Don't Recycle (2013)
Anecdotally (albeit from multiple sources), the scholastic bar for a CC transfer is lower than that of a HS to 4 year college route.

GP was likely someone who could have passed the HS to University bar without having to go the CC route to increase his or her odds.

Personally, I advise younger friends or international transfer type students to consider the CC->University track especially if they are naturally bright but didn't get the marks needed to pass the direct enrollment route.
I'm responding to these sentences in your original post:

"If you don't have a thick skin, you'll have to grow one, and if you can't grow one, they'll just eat you alive.
Eventually you realise it's either you or them. That's when you've mastered it."

Subsequent comments of yours have been more reasonable, but the text of what you wrote in your original comment certainly implies a combative, us-vs-them mentality.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

It's shocking how rarely you hear this angle on things, but it's easily the most sinister aspect of these programs.
I mean this in the nicest way possible, but is this satire? I actually can't tell. Between go rewrite, criticizing the language choice, and wanting to just stick a tube in your mouth and be automatically fed soylent this almost seems generated by a markov chain.

If sincere I apologize.
At the very least that data does not really fit the theory. At some point you have to consider that when the facts do not fit the theory perhaps the theory is wrong, rather than to try to spin the facts in such a way that they fit the theory in a weird way. I think some people are too attached to a particular theory being true, rather than finding out the right theory.
How Teachers Pay Teachers Is Recruiting Top-Notch Tech Talent
I couldn't really understand how you replaced Mixpanel and other analytics services with Redshift. AFAIK Redshift is optimized for bulk inserts so the micro-batch approach (a few seconds) is not is not optimal and in fact quite expensive. Also the data in Mixpanel is not structured and if you're using JSON in Redshift, you can't take advantage of the columnar storage format which is actually the main point of using Redshift. Do you care to explain how you solve these issues?
I understand where the author is coming from. It is traditional to repair your broken things somehow. It is a bit ingrained in our mentality. BUT.

What moral right does he have to claim that Apple SHOULD make their products fixable? Who are these people to tell Apple (or any other company) if they have to include a technical manual or not? I'm with him when he's against Apple attacking people who try to repair their devices but there is no real reason Apple has to support repairing beyond their own offering. From a moral point of view the technical manual and ease of repairing might just be features, that are arguably more or less valuable, and Apple owes nothing.

After all I don't ship my code together with a manual on how to fix bugs...

Note: I don't like Apple, just wanted to add some reasonableness.
>Your interpretation is overly literal, IMO.

I did not give an interpretation. I asked a question. I don't think a description of what it means to remember you are talking to a person was given even though it was claimed that one should do it. If I should be doing it, I need to know what it is. Then, I can see if I am actually doing it, and if I am not, start doing it again. I think it is an entirely reasonable question.

>In the context of giving critical feedback, it's easy to focus on the problem, the specific area you want to correct, and reduce the person on the other side to just being the cause of the problem.

Certainly. People are generally not the causes of problems, so looking there is probably a waste of time. I think the far more effective strategy is working to eliminate the problem and modify processes to ensure that the problem never happens again. Any problem, in a corporate context, is a failing of the entire team, not any individual.

>It's easy to forget that the developer is a person with a lifetime of experiences different from yours, a different perspective, different strengths and weaknesses, different insecurities, different stuff going on in their personal life.

Maybe our difference is on how easy this is. I don't think that is very easy to forget. All you need to do is realize that you are a person with all of those things and that you are not that other person.

>I haven't been on the receiving end myself, but I have often seen managers give feedback that is belittling and reduces the entire worth of a person to a single mistake.

I think it's a rampant problem. I guess people just want to blame others rather than make things better? I seem to detect instances of it all the time, that seem to be casually accepted by most. For example, General Motor's response to a faulty piece of equipment they were using in their cars was to fire the engineer who designed it. Almost no mind was paid to the fact that GM's process allowed critical parts to be wholly designed and signed off on by a single individual.
It's post-modernism. The author doesn't know what it means, and if he's a fan of Wittgenstein he'd probably argue that there's no point in even looking for meaning in it.

Well, because it is going to die.

Holding assets in dollar makes little sense for most people on the planet, and when these people become richer, it makes sense they will use their own currencies. With them, their companies. With those, their governments.

Then again a lot of cool tech came from monopolies playing around excess profits (Bell Labs, Xerox, etc.).

But notoriously, a lot of cool tech that was developed at Bell Labs, Xerox, and Kodak ended up being so severely misunderstood by upper management there that outside companies were the ones to develop and sell products based on the new technology, while efforts to do so in house were practically or actually discouraged. These include such game changers as Object Oriented Programming, WYSIWYG word processing, Graphical User Interfaces, and Digital Cameras.

However it happens, Apple is good at taking R&D, no matter where it originally happened, and creates game changing products out of it. One could argue that this is baked into the very DNA of the company. (Two of the oldest examples: Microprocessors ==> Personal Computing, and Graphical User Interfaces.) If you like, think of Apple as the anti-Xerox. It's not the company that spends tons of cash on internal R&D, misunderstands it, then winds up being unable to capitalize on it. It's the company that can take anyone's R&D or idea, understand the essentials of it, then executes great products.

Why be the company that invents something, when you can instead be the company that profits from it?

> The counterexample to that theory is that cities with warm climates and good economies, like Houston and Atlanta, are falling behind in terms of average income relative to places like New York.

I would actually attribute the income disparity to the powerful political opposition to labor unions in both Georgia and Texas. Unions have far more protection under New York law than in either of those states.
