Tried to edit my other comment but accidentally deleted it.

So I just skimmed over the ruling here:

https://www.cadc.uscourts.gov/internet/opinions.nsf/77E3D4B7...

and you're right (if you're getting at what I think you're getting at).

The argument is that expense sharing is compensation, but it is allowed under the FARs in specific circumstance. Difference here being that the combination of holding out on a public website and receiving compensation via expense sharing put it in common carrier land.

Which does seem to make sense under current rules.
We're prepping to dump JIRA and Confluence because of the user experience. It's just frankly poor and the flows are overly complex. Way too much work for what we want out of that tool.
tl;dr: Wall Street is pissed that their jobs are being replaced by bots.

Considering the frequency and regularity of reports like these in main stream media, this smells a lot like good ol' fashioned market manipulate. I would be interested to see some analysis on who consistently acts on the dips resulting from myopic media reporting.

How can you make money trading on a market whose volatility can't be manipulated by artificially limiting the supply of raw materials? Create panic, hedge against the drop, buy on the dip, cash after the correction.

The perceptions of investors are a hell of a lot easier to change than the actual markets themselves. It wouldn't be the first time the media was used to commit securities fraud.
My understanding is that CBSE decides the syllabus ( that is, which topics students should learn and at which grades ). NCERT makes the books that contain the course material. CBSE does not make any course material, or am I wrong ? Or does the CBSE recommend non NCERT books for some courses ?
What do you guys see as the next big product for Apple?
I am using elementary OS and I have installed it many times, can you give me a good tutorial about installing and configuring postgres? I want to use it with golang for development of webapps. I am not trolling here btw, I am really stuck with sqlite because of inability of installing postgrest :(
I really have to wonder: at what point do these people reach such a critical mass of attempting to signal high social value and rarity that they vocally renounce being human all together and effervesce into a kale scented cloud of mist?

The cargo cult of success is especially insidious for leaders, who tend to be extra impressionable; running a marathon is not a measurement of success in unrelated fields.
If by "soon" you mean a year and a half ago, then yes, soon :)
I'm thinking this must be an age thing. 15 years ago isn't a significant portion of my lifetime, so perhaps I see the progress in that time period as not being tremendous. Perhaps you're younger. I've been active in this business/space/industry since around 1975 and for me not a whole lot has changed. Sure today you can put a thing with the power of a VAX on your wrist, but we expected that to happen back in 1980. I moved into the house I live in now 15 years ago and immediately set out to build myself an internet connection. I used 802.11b products that are not too different to what we use today.
The one thing that has changed in the past 15 years that I see clearly is there is much more data available on the Internet, but that's just a simple adoption curve effect. Back in 1992 we had the Microsoft Developer Network on CD with a search application that ran on Windows. It was basically the same thing as Stack Overflow, except of course much slower to update and featuring contributions from vastly fewer people. But essentially the same thing. I even remember having discussions in 1992 with colleagues about how the MSDN would surely evolve to be Internet-based rather than delivered by mail on a CD.
Do you think that most engineers and scientists in Norway work in the public sector, maybe?

I very much doubt that it true for Sweden either.

Resume virtues vs eulogy virtues is similar to personality ethic vs character ethic as described in 7 Habits. Recommend that book if you have not yet read. Make sure you actually read it, the best parts are in the meat- a cliff notes version of that book is an order of magnitude less valuable because the "key takeaways" are not the true takeaways.
The issue here is that pilots are not going to risk the licenses they've spent potentially over 100k on to make money this way.
"I'd like to hear how this was discovered and who's name ended up on git blame line next to that password."

Yes. We all want to know a lot more about exactly how that got into the source code. It may take forensics and detective work to find out, but there's probably enough log info to figure it out. Pressure needs to be kept on Juniper until they disclose this. They can't be allowed to get away with claiming "it just happened somehow."

So that takes the coarse estimate down to 25 years.
Hard to not have a lot of doubt in much of what Theranos has claimed to accomplish. Far too much shroud of secrecy to seem legitimate. Every article that comes up about it reeks of something not being quite right.
I am biased give then that I am an AR developer, but with their history of successfully commercializing, breakthrough computing platforms, an AR headset should be their next platform.

They bought Metaio this year, which says to me, that is their goal as well.
Yep if I had not put my foot down it probably would have slipped by and never been noticed until some poor unfortunate PhD student tried to build their research off it.

Another anecdote - a certain famous professor (since dead) at my alma mater managed to destroy at least three PhD students careers via fraud. He had faked up the initial data and then put them to work on projects based on the fake data. The whole thing only came to light (internal only as it was all hushed up) when he died and his students moved to a new supervisor.

As a owner of an apartment in Greenwhich village, noise-proofing windows is the extent to which I am allowed to modify my apartment. All else will involve appealing to the board, appeasing the neighbors during the construction phase and other headaches - not to mention the cost.

But these windows at about 500$ do a pretty good job.
From a recent article in Vanity Fair about how some chefs are surrendering their Michelin stars, as they pigeonhole the chefs.

http://www.vanityfair.com/culture/2015/09/top-chefs-michelin...

I do feel bad that they had to shutdown, but I suspect the same thing that hurt them (the accolades) also helped them to land a gig in The Standard. I consider this a success for a young chef, even if it arrived via a perceived failure.
Yes it absolutely would be safer. There is no legitimate reason to use a black box VPN. Crypto should done at the application level, client-to-server.
I'm in the middle of The Road To Character, and it's a bit too much "people used to be better" for me so far - but still it has some good points here and there.
Wodehouse (also listed in the OP) makes me happy to read, they're hilarious and glowingly warm books.

Here are some recommendations from me in a similar vein, (non-fiction) books that positively influenced my outlook:

- Lamott's Bird by Bird, it's reflections on how to be a writer, but the advice works on "living" and "working" in general

- Werner Herzog - A Guide for the Perplexed: an updated long interview with Herzog on his life and his craft, extremely passionate. There are so many minor stories and bits of wisdom that positively influenced my outlook on humanity and the work I do.

- Bakewell's How To Live: If you don't have time or leisure to read Montaigne's Essais (I'm still not finished with those), Bakewell's book is a bit of a primer/summary of Montaigne's lessons interwoven with Montaigne's life.

- Marsh's Do No Harm: it's the autobiography of a "famous" neuro-surgeon at the end of his career. If I'm 50% as honest and humble about the mistakes I've made at the end of my life (mistakes in his operations turned several patients into people who need constant care for the rest of their lives) then I can die contempt.
That which flourishes in the night withers in the light of day

I definitely feel that vibe from all the news from Theranos. If their methods were revolutionary, they could show off (and license) their innovations with patents, instead of hiding behind trade secrets.
The Top 6 Good-News Stories of 2015
Theranos has always been very careful with their words - they make sure that it's not an outright lie, but if not read attentively, can very effictively mask the true meaning.

See this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10397886

But then, I really wouldn't expect a journalist to be taken in by the PR speak. I'd sort of expect that after years of listening to doublespeak like this, a journalist would see right through... But I guess not.

When I said Java interop, I meant two-way. With few exceptions (traits being the only I can think of) all Scala code can be used by Java. You can even use implicit parameters, though of course the Java compiler won't resolve them for you. And almost all Java constructs can be created with Scala (Java enumerations being an exception). For example, using Scala you can define an abstract class that Java code can use.

You can't do that in Clojure.

Real world examples: Play and Akka are two large projects that include Java development in their primary use cases.

Two-way interop is the cause for a huge number of less than ideal decisions: different Array equality than Seq, @specialized, universal equality, hash codes, and toString, abstract class vs trait, generic type erasure, etc.

You can call the compromise misguided (and you wouldn't be the first to do so) but that's why.
We have self driving cars on the streets, and vision systems out performing humans at classifying objects.
Reporter Roger Parloff certainly isn't winning any investigative reporting awards here. He seems genuinely confused why Theranos, despite having the ability to use its own technology, might also be using existing technology. One explanation might be that Theranos is collecting blood by industry-standard means so that they could also verify accuracy of their newfangled tests using a subset of that sample.

All parties here, from press to company to investors, seem to be maximally full of shit and in massive cover-your-ass mode.
Actually, I think it reads more like "we weren't deliberately misleading Roger Parloff, we were trying to mislead everybody!"

While these servers can ingest video feeds, they wouldn't (typically) be saving the incoming feeds. These servers play out video over many projectors blended into a single seamless image. If you've watched the past few Olympics opening ceremonies, you most certainly saw the projections.

My recent project, which was relatively small, played back a single video over 4 blended projectors. Each video frame was a 50MB uncompressed TGA file, 30 times a second. On a more complex show, you could be trying to play back multiple video streams simultaneously.

Just as a rough outline for how this could work, consider the following syllogism:

All possible interactions are explained by Einstein's Theory of Relativity.

This particular observation is not explained by Einstein.

Therefore this must have a different explanation.

This gives us a testable proposition by definition.

This gives us proposition 2 to focus on and rebut, if we can.

Generally, I think this is how good science works, but it's not codified. An additional benefit to this concept is that if stored in a central location, it gives us a graph network to deal with and search through.

And it gives us a tree to look at. So anything invalidated higher up in the tree invalidates all of its branches.

Which is also good.
Anybody tried to see in their logs if someone used it ?
This is at least a plausible number. While we still have not established if the 10% number has any basis in fact, you would only need 19.3% of new doctors to be muslim to shift the numbers. This still seems high to me, but it is possible.
I think the FAA was the issue, not the pilots. Those who don't want to give rides, won't. That's pretty simple. The FAA even said that splitting the cost of rides with friends is OK, so then it will be down to proving if someone is your friend or not.
Huh, is that show coming back around? I kinda liked how they would spin current tech events, and the idea of an AI that spread itself over power boxes was neat to say the least.
Also, extracting an interface is often 100% automated using the refactoring capabilities of your IDE, so doing it up front has little benefit (except in certain cases like being a public API in a library).
Theranos was very clear on this. They have about 200 tests that are successful in a lab setting with only one in the works to be cleared by FDA. Truth is that simple ! The rest is just sleazy journalism that sells tabloids
I've reached out to a number of the posters but haven't found someone of the right caliber yet.
Um.... how about Apple do actually take a look a the technology, evaluate it, before adding a bunch of similar API every year?

They weren't "clear" on this. They said were all about their proprietary technology and getting everything from a pinprick when it turns out they weren't doing any of that.

It's like saying I have a great story to tell you but then reading you Moby Dick.

That's one of the best parts of the google play store; the developer can directly respond to a review. It's pretty handy, and to me, as a user, it says the app is actively being worked on.
It definitely appears that they had some initial technology which looked promising but has failed to mature into a viable replacement for commercially available tests.

What I'm wondering is how well Theranos' investors did their due dilligence. It's not completely incredible that a VC might fund a company based on its team and market position even if its core technology isn't a viable product of a long-term business, but it would be somewhat surprising.
I was a huge user of single site browsers... when I was on OSX.

Now I miss them, but I just couldn't live with the random crashing.

Are there any good SSB tools for Linux, or even better, for FreeBSD, as someone else mentioned, Electron just does not cut it at all for this. SSB and the Omni Group software are the only things I really miss from OSX :-/
I wouldn't view it for another four years until the University of Illinois introduced the Mosaic browser and Peter Tattam coded Trumpet Winsock. Mosaic was coded by a team led by a young student from Wisconsin by the name of Mark Andreessen.

But web time moves fast and another thirteen years later Mark Zuckerberg would ask him, I know you're famous for something but I don't know what. Bet you Henry Ford never suffered that same indignity.
Puella Magi Madoka Magica is most certainly not children's television. ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
I read the original article, and what I understood after reading it, was that Theranos had developed a new technology for testing small samples of blood that could be obtained from a finger prick, and could do so inexpensively (sometimes for 1/10th the prior price).

Theranos never made it clear that (A) many (most?) of the tests were not done using Theranos equipment, but by third party diagnostic equipment, and that (B) some (many?) of the tests still required a traditional blood draw.

I understand why Theranos might not want to make that clear (dilutes the value of their story) - it just seems to be the sort of thing that they should have realized would come out eventually, and better to get ahead of it.

Still hoping that Theranos manages to accomplish even 1/2 of what I thought they were doing.

'Cargo' cult? Why not just 'cult'? Why cargo?
This trend is likely to intensify: surveys of American university students suggest that one in six now use mind-boosting drugs to get through their exams, a habit they may continue in their subsequent careers.

Woah. One in six use these drugs?
I think you meant mixed up. It certainly does seem, though, that thinking your weak and static type system is strongly typed can lead to errors that could kill a program, and, depending on what the program does, harm people and other systems.
Because hauling cargo requires more physical endurance...

The term implies mimicking behaviors in vain hope of achieving the same results as those being mimicked. In this case, that'd be less sleep more multitasking more conspicuous effort.
I'm not so sure I agree. First of all, it's not like anyone could have made this movie without significant financial resources -- reportedly it cost $200 million to make, and it looks it (not to mention, Harrison Ford isn't coming back for cheap). Nobody without a large commercial stake in it was going to be able to make a movie like this.

That doesn't justify current copyright laws (trademarks alone might be sufficient to keep someone from making Star Wars VIII even if copyright was allowed to lapse on ordinary time rather than being constantly extended to keep Steamboat Willy out of the public domain), but collaborative works of fiction require big financial commitments sometimes to get made.
RK3288 from Rockchip is in several of the Chromebooks that are currently on the market, including Chromebook Flip and the ASUS Chromebit.

They perform quite well there if I may say so, when a proper amount of effort has been put into the software running on them.

The chips from Chinese manufacturers aren't really better or worse than most of the others out there, it's just that they often take shortcuts on the software side -- or rather, in particular the low-cost system OEM/ODMs do.

As someone that watched the Star Wars film for the first time relatively recent, I concur. I did not like ANY of the films at all (I watched them in the order they were released). The scripts of the first three seemed utter shit to me. It works as a family movie I guess but not one an adult should be able to enjoy. Needless to say this opinion makes me part of a despised minority but I understand why many people love the films and that many grew up with them. Just like I still love the Goonies many people still love Star Wars.
