For dynamic image content, I prefer organizing them in sub folders that are logically separate "things" (products, categories, users, etc).

If the amount of images in a folder is high, I create some sub folders starting named after the first character of the image name - just to make it more readable for myself.

So,
Media/Categories
Media/Products/H/headphones.png
Media/Products/K/Keyboards.png

For design/styling images/logos/thumbs, I normally dump them in one or more folders (again grouped by purpose).

Which is perfectly covered by well-grounded, tested and entirely scientific anthropology methods. No postmodernism whatsoever.

> Postmodernism has its place, also in 'real' science.

Postmodernism goes much further than simply acknowledging that a personal perspective may affect a pace of knowledge acquisition (but not the final outcome of it).

Postmodernism introduces an outrageous idea that a personal perspective is just as valuable as an objective knowledge, and some (with the so called feminists being among the worst) even go further and ditch the objective knowledge altogether.

How do you know Atlassian has a much more scalable business, without knowing the specific details of Palantir's business operations, its growth rate, its profitability, its revenue, etc?

Besides, what's bigger than spying and gathering data on citizens these days? Governments around the world are allocating increasingly vast sums of money to it. It's certainly a drastically larger business opportunity than Atlassian's $319m in sales (after 13 years). Governments are not going to spend less on what Palantir does, they're going to spend a lot more, and then after that they're going to spend a lot more. What would it be worth to be one of the principle software contractors for the US Government for the next 20 years, and perhaps the five eyes in general?

What? Looking at other apes is a poor indicator. What an animal eats has to do with it's environment and it's digestion mechanisms. Some apes largely ate grasses. Nutrients matters, but largely is solved by eating a varied diet.

You might have noticed that we do something other species don't. Cooking! It's a pre-digestion mechanism that saves a lot of work. Combined with our omnivorous digestive system we can probably be considered radically distinct from our ape ancestors (in a good way).
Eastern Europe isn't very interested in Muslim immigration, and I can't blame them if we look at the integration problems we face with Muslims in Western Europe. [0][1].

Also, remember that the Balkan countries has had much tensions between Muslim populations and others in the past. Many non-Muslims in these countries share the same feelings [2].

I believe immigration without integration (which is happening in Western Europe) might eventually cause a civil war; it's already breaking down the social cohesion in Western European countries. At the same time the large amount of immigrants, who tend to make heavily use of social benefits and healthcare without providing much economic benefits, will destroy the welfare state [3] (Dutch article).

I know I'm not voicing a popular opinion (yet!), but I believe it's the truth and therefore needs to be said.

By the way, I should note I have no problem with hard working immigrants that want to contribute to society and make an effort to integrate. For example, I have huge respect for the Polish workers that have come to The Netherlands to work in the greenhouses for a minimum wage. These people work hard and don't appear much in criminal statistics. They also tend to learn Dutch and because of the shared cultural background they integrate much easier.

I will personally try to help a Thai lady who also made a big effort in learning the Dutch language and adopting Dutch culture. Sadly she works for very little money and most of what she makes, she tries to send to her family (parents, son, grandson) in Thailand. But I have a huge respect for her and hopefully I can help her have an easier live in The Netherlands.

Guo Guangchang: China's Warren Buffett Goes Missing
High frequency trading gets shat on frequently. It's stupid. This is only a tool that evens out price differences across geological distance. If someone buys significant amount of AAPL stock in New York, the price goes up in NY. Then someone from London can profit by buying small amount of AAPL stock in London and selling it in NY.

High frequency trading is this, but with very high speeds and lots of competition. This means they have to exert value out of almost infinitesimal price changes.

>As HFT strategies become more widely used, it can be more difficult to deploy them profitably. According to an estimate from Frederi Viens of Purdue University, profits from HFT in the U.S. has been declining from an estimated peak of $5bn in 2009, to about $1.25bn in 2012.

That's 0,007% of U.S. GDP. And probably going down.

>"DEFINITION OF HFT:
1. a strategy which trades for investment horizons of less than one day
2. a strategy which seeks to unwind all positions before the end of each trading day
thus HFTs can't deploy large amounts of capital"

So, at first, they've told us that they don't have enough resources to pour into Thunderbird because they were working on something else. That something else was Firefox OS. Okay, sure. I would love to have a Mozilla developed OS on my phone. Then, months have passed and, even though they have an agreement with the country right next to mine, I was not able to have one without having someone from that country who will sign a contract with the carrier. Then they have decided to give Thunderbird away to some other project because they wanted to focus on Firefox. Sure, why not? But, a day or two later, they have released an app for iOS that completely does not belong in their model of service since it has nothing to do with Firefox and it won't actually work with Firefox. And now they're telling us that they're moving Firefox OS to "IoT devices", killing Firefox OS smartphone idea before I had a chance to actually get my hands on one of them. Great work Mozilla!

> Kuhn covered it in full. Nothing more to be said on this subject.

The book was a classic when it came out, but there have been some fairly strong critiques in the past fifty years or so.

In fact, the most recent edition of the book includes a 'Postscript' written in 1969, in which Kuhne tries to answer some of the most pertinent criticisms of his theory.

There are also alternative theories to all this, or at least different perspectives one can take. Karl Popper's Conjectures and Refutations is a good example.

Exactly. It's difficult to blame US police for acting as though they're members of an occupying army when all of the people they meet could be armed with guns. I can understand why a policeman in the US would want to be equipped like a soldier.
I don't see Smart TVs as a good market for Firefox OS, Android is the obvious choice in this market. Generally, you'd want to target IoT devices where battery life/power draw is important but you still want a rich UI.

Consistent platform could be a decent benefit for the markets where Firefox OS makes sense though.
+1 for the point about Thunderbird. We need good open-source mail clients. I'm not sure we need a Firefox OS, and regardless they just don't have the market power to make it work.

AIMSICD is very faulty. I made full code review in my spare time and tests on OpenBTS. It can't detect SilentSMS even if they claim it can. It doesn't detect fake BTSs nor connections using them. You can connect to fake BTS, make calls, send texts, it doesn't detect anything suspicious. This project sounds serious, but it doesn't do anything. Moreover it sends data about fake BTSs to remote service - OpenCellId (they get data about cells from OCID). Recently all of this what I say here was proven on their issue board on Github.

Your opinion, like his opinion might be too categorical and with too little argumentation. The way I perceived the feelings of the eastern europe towards muslims (non-arabs, arabs and turks - very little differentiating between these sorts of muslims): "we don't hate them, but we strongly prefer not having muslim enclaves in our countries like they have in the western europe". Everybody in EE heard about the inconveniences experienced by france, belgium and netherlands due to their incapacity to assimilate the immigrants and no one in EE knows what are the advantages of immigration especially from third world countries. EE simply does not want to make the same immigration/multi-culti experiments that western europe made. There is little hate and no historic hate against muslims when it comes to accepting or rejecting these immigrants but if you think there is no historic hate towards turks in eastern europe, I think you don't search deep enough (it's right after the latent hate against russian domination, which is more recent).

On the contrary, this fallacy is very important and applicable. Without it you cannot criticise any group G on the basis of X when a member of this group happens to declare that "I'm not X and anyone who is X is not a member of G". This is seemingly a perfect defense as long as there's a single member who is not X.

It's important to call out this fallacy, because the membership in a group can't be defined on the basis of a person's conduct, since there's no way to monitor that every member of the group adheres to this conduct. Therefore you can't know if anyone is a member or not unless you watch this person 24/7. There must be a different way to assign membership. A membership of most religions is decided on the basis of self-declaration. A membership in US Army is decided on the basis of application and being approved by the powers in charge. For example if US Army has a tendency to employ rapists, it's valid to criticise US Army for this fact even if they have a rule that forbids such behavior. If self-declared Christians tend to persecute and kill people in the name of religion, it's valid to criticise Christianity for this behavior.

That was by design. Some episodes focused on the prosecution story, and some on the defence.

If you cast your mind back, you'll recall a long sequence (almost a whole episode) where they tried to recreate the drive from the library to the Best Buy, thus poking holes in Syed's claim that he couldn't have travelled that distance in that time. You can't say, based on that (and other episodes that were pro-prosecution) that the series was pro-prosecution. I thought it still finished with a lot of doubt on both sides.
$10 per month is really low.

I remember when Contributor was in an internal beta (back then I worked at Google). Initially there were no tiers. I recall being completely shocked at how high my 'budget' had to be to stop seeing just most ads, not even all of them. It was much, much higher than $10 per month.

When I looked at the per-site breakdown it was obvious why: I spent a lot of time on sites that advertisers were willing to pay a lot to be on, like (oddly enough) Slashdot. Presumably due to the affluent, IT-budget-controlling and very tightly defined audience. My eyeballs were literally worth a lot of money and to buy them back, would therefore cost a lot of money.

It was when I started to see those figures, and I wasn't even getting an ad free web, that I realised the whole dream of using micropayments to clear the web of advertising was a non starter. Hardly anyone is going to be willing to double or triple the price of their internet subscription just to get rid of some ads, some of the time. We really have no idea just how much the web economy relies on advertising to survive.

Presumably Contributor uses tiered budgets to avoid sticker-shock and people blowing through their budget in the first few days of the month. It makes sense but they can never get rid of all ads that way.

P.S. I don't use ad blockers.
