It definitely skips the opening credits on the shows my kids watch (Octonauts, Cat in the Hat, etc.). For better or worse, both of these also have another song in the episode near the beginning (the same song, every episode).

There is a significant difference between bundling a bill into a high stakes omnibus such as the budget and passing it individually. It's much easier to stand up and say "I voted against a single bill" then "I voted against the budget and shut down the government". It's a strong arm negotiation tactic to force members to vote against their position on a less important issue. This is the same reason that so much pork gets thrown into the large bills.

It depends on the show. I think they only ever skip opening credits right at the start of the video, but most shows tend to have a scene before them, so it rarely applies.

They also use the mechanism to skip "previously on" sections, which is probably a good idea during a marathon, since they're usually more spoiler than reminder in that situation.

Huh, my dad has sleep apnea. What about waking up to Star Trek makes you think that, though?

What I mean by waking up is like: do you ever wake up in the middle of the night to the dog wanting to go out, or a noise outside or something? You come awake just enough to process what is going on, and then go back to sleep right away.

For instance: sometimes I'll wake up to the really faint sound of somebody jingling keys outside the kitchen door, but I can figure out that it's just our roomate, and to go back to sleep. Like a very low thread priority or something.

As someone who grew up in a strongly red area and with beliefs in that vein, I know EXACTLY the kind of exclusion that the author is talking about to a painful degree. For anyone who wants to experience it, walk into any Reddit discussion and tell everyone you're a devout Christian and watch the pseudo intellectuals exercise their "openness."

And yes it's true I'm far from the most religious person there is, and I strongly believe in birth control, women's rights, on and on, I am constantly assumed to be some Bible-thumping redneck by anyone who doesn't know me. It also doesn't help that I regularly enjoy working with my hands, building things, fixing things, which mind you when it comes to many things to fix there's a great deal of intelligence required, but because it's not the fancy coastal intelligence that gets you six figure jobs I'm assumed to be an idiot.

And then people wonder why Middle America has such a disdain for the cultures and intellectual achievement, after they've spent their entire learning lives being told how dumb they are by the snobs, most of whom can't even swap a tire for a donut without calling AAA.

Whether they can or not is kind of irrelevant since our legal system isn't based on right or wrong otherwise we would just take every law at current face value and not try to lobby against them. I'm curious whether people feel that regardless of legal right if private universities SHOULD be able to do that.

> Electronic voting machines are inherently unsafe.

Nothing about a voting machine is inherently unsafe (for any purpose of the word), or we wouldn't use machines ubiquitously. They are both safe and reliable. Software is difficult to do, but we go into space anyway.

> allowing voters to check their votes were recorded properly violate anonymity requirements

Nope. Using hashes and keys is how we do it in the technical community and would work fine with voting.

> publish obfusticated votes don't actually provide useful auditability.

You're improperly lumping problems that are a combination. Some have very good solutions and one is a rather intractable problem (for machines).

Added votes

Missing votes

Misrepresented choices

Altered votes

Most of these could be handled. The issue of added votes would be something that could only be handled by serious federal criminal legislation against padding at any level (which we don't do today) because only a human is trusted to determine if a voter is another human.

The problem is the legal system.

A single, large investor can sue, effectively, a corporation because they are on the same spending level. You need, roughly, a million dollars to sue a corporation.

A group of small investors have a VERY difficult time suing that same corporation. They have to be very unified, and, even then, it's very expensive. If the company is effectively burning up the money, it is very difficult to prove fraud and takes a very long time to do it. And your fighting your own investment which is paying the lawyers on the other side.

So, if you've invested, say, $50K, the company can basically run away with it and there is almost nothing cost-effective you can do. Even if you win, the company can go bankrupt--so your lawyer won't take things on contingency. Maybe you can interest the government in a securities or tax fraud case, but don't hold your breath.

Look at the problems with Kickstarter and the lack of ability to get your money back when things are, quite obvious, malfeasance. Those same problems hold until you start talking individual investments of almost 500K+.

Even worse, hucksters are VERY good at rooking people intentionally. I went through a case where a small group of us were showing the red flags all over the place (no financial statements, no board meetings, on, and on, etc.), and people still sided with the huckster.

The vast majority of people are dumber than you think.

I'm pretty unhappy with the current state of software development. Developers who have a voice are often extremists with very strong ideas (and sometimes very bad ideas).

The idea that you should use a module to check if a number is -0 is just insane.

Developers need to wisen up and accept the reality that there is no right or wrong way to do anything. The problem is that people like radical thoughts. No one wants to hear the word 'sometimes' - Which is actually the right word to use 99% of the time.

Question:

- Should you use as many small modules as possible?

Answers:

- Famous developer: Yes, always break everything into small modules because it encourages code reuse, composability, collaboration. That's the Unix philosophy.

- Moderate developer: Small modules are great sometimes but in some cases you just want a wholesome tool that just works and takes care of all the edge cases (and gives you operational guarantees). Having too many separate modules increases management complexity and can make the upgrade/deployment process more complicated and time consuming. Sometimes having too many small modules can make your code difficult to read because people are forced to read through pages of documentation on GitHub every time they encounter a new module.

Question:

- Is Microservices always the right approach to software development?

Answers:

- Famous developer: Yes, always break up your system into separate services - This promotes separation of concerns which makes your system easier to manage.

- Moderate developer: Sometimes. If you have a small team, you don't want to be managing too many different services and having too many code repos - Sometimes it's better to start out with one service, but build it in a way that it can easily be split out later on.

Question:

- Should you use Docker?

Answers:

- Famous developer: Yes, you need to Dockerize your whole stack from the beginning if you want fast deployment.

- Moderate developer: Sometimes. You should be selective about which technologies you use within your project and try to keep the deployment process as simple as possible. If you can keep your technology count to a manageable level, you may end up not needing Docker.

Question:

- Should you use promises in JavaScript?

Answers:

- Famous developer #1: No, promises are evil, they are slow, they swallow your errors and they make your logic impossible to follow.

- Famous developer #2: Yes, promises should always be used. Callbacks make code difficult to read and cause callback hell.

- Moderate developer: Promises are good sometimes but you have to be careful how/when you use them. You don't want to have really long chains of promises spread across multiple files. Sometimes callbacks are more appropriate if you design your system in such a way that nesting is minimal. Ultimately is comes down to what makes your team happy.

> Well, iterators are cool and useful, but many operators like map(), filter() and flatMap() can be applied on things that don't necessarily produce values.

You've lost me. You need to apply the function in `flatMap` to something, and `flatMap` by definition will output zero or more values.

So what do you mean?
Definitely cheap!

I'm guessing it shouldn't be used for serving content without a CDN in front of it, though, as you just get a connection without great focus on download speeds or distribution. This makes their use case example "Cloud Applications" slightly misleading (or at least, incomplete), and also their comparisons... I'm not sure which plans they're using in that table, but I think some of these have a rather good CDN included (Rackspace for for example).

Still a great option for backup, blows Glacier out of the water. And certainly usable without a CDN for the "storage" portion of an application that doesn't require top speeds.

There are several stages of CC validation. EX: http://www.experian.com/decision-analytics/credit-card-verif...

M = Full match
P = Partial match
C = Match, but account is closed
L = Match, but card is lost or stolen
E = Invalid card number
X = No record or security alert
N = No match

IMO, you can display an error page for some types of issues without helping scammers. However, for physical goods it's a good idea to wait 24+ hours to display C or L codes to users. That way it's not useful for CC scammers, and you have minimal impact on users. Partial matches or other stages that fail your security checks are up to you.
The AIGA symbols are interesting in the biases they encode.

The symbol for "man" is the outline of an adult human. The symbol for "woman" is the outline of an adult human, but wearing a dress. So, male is considered the default. Masculinity is the absence of femininity.

The symbol for "toilets" is the symbol for "woman" (an adult human with a dress) next to the symbol for "man" (an human), with a dividing line between them. We heavily associate toilets with sex segregation, apparently.

They also show their age: the symbol for currency conversion lacks the Euro and instead has a French franc!
