I understand much better now with your clarification, thanks
Off-topic, but I didn't want to spam you guys with a new thread. Quick question: Is it looked down upon at HN to repost questions on other sites like StackExchange? I like to get as much input as possible from people, but I don't want to get off as being 'spam-y.'
I totally agree with you about English being a horrible language to try and teach. Not to mention things like 'th' or 'sh' or heaven help us, "ph" sounds. My hope is that if he can read independently, he can sooner start self-directed learning. I agree with you that there is much more to enjoy and teach than reading as an ends to itself, but the other things you mentioned, which involve creativity and synthesis, are arguably more important. I feel like nothing about education or learning is really well known, and we get one shot in life. I'm going to try and do what I think best to try and make my toddler a better person than me (whatever that means).

I think the important point in all of these kinds of essays is that they draw parents who are invested in their children, which is probably what really matters more than "I did Doman's method" or "I spent an hour with flashcards".

What I liked about this essay was the little glimpses into things that he tried that I haven't thought of yet (like alphabet magnets to play with). Some of the links he had to other people's blogs (especially one of the homeschooled kids) made me cringe as it was such unabashed promotion of how great their child was, and here is a picture of his graduation at their house: the kid is by himself with his parents, no other children around. What kind of life is that? What good is it to "create a genius", if that is even possible, if they don't enjoy life?
Assuming you like their music too :)
Yep, and people mean 'host name' rather than 'domain name'. But web developers don't care and use the terms interchangably, infosec people know SSL was rebranded into TLS by Microsoft, and none of these things are important since everyone knows what you're talking about and being pedantic would distract from your actual message.
Yes - seizing isn't a gag order or a back door. It's worse, depending on how you run your stuff. He even mentioned logs... ouch.
As a Brit I'd have to agree, don't think anyone has ever chanted "Britain, Britain".

Other than football I can't think of any other time I've ever heard anyone chant "England, England" or whatever.

Might be slightly more likely in Scotland as they are a bit more nationalistic.

I have been reading a lot of these comments here and some of the people who ran into issues just sound like they don't understand what they were using or building. As many have said before opentsdb is great if you understand all of your components. Hbase is somewhat of a black art. You also truly need to understand your data. You cannot just start writing data and when it fails be upset with the product. Opentsdb is no silver bullet to the metrics game but it sure as hell is better than most at a larger scale.

We are doing right now roughly 1.2m/s and will likely grow to 6-8 depending on how we chop this up. Either way you have to use any level of intelligence with this product as you do with others. I cannot stress this enough but plan out your data. Make sure you are very strict with the pattern of how things get written and the amount of tags you allow. No datapoint will initially make sense for you you may have to shift things around a bit. There is an active PR collectd that addresses metric mapping which can be very beneficial to high throughout shops.

Either way just make sure you know what you are getting into and understand your problem as well as your product you are choosing. Opentsdb could be overkill for people who just want a low amount of data per second. You will also need to plan retention policies / long term storage / hardware requirements / etc. remember you are running hbase.

>Why is this downvoted

I can't give the exact answer but if I had to guess, I'd say it's a consistently argumentative attitude under the guise of asking questions. The commenter has asked the same question "what makes this SpaceX thing so special?" at different points of this thread and has gotten many different answers providing a bunch of different view points. They're not trying to get clarity, they're trying to convince people that this isn't an accomplishment, and there seems to be a hint of accusation ("you only think this is better than BO because HN loves Musk and hates Bezos") in the questions.

That's my guess.

Per wiki, 35% + up to 12% of State/Local income tax; less any foreign tax already paid (as tax credit); less any other deductions and credits. Per http://www.politifact.com/punditfact/statements/2014/sep/09/..., the reality is more nuanced. The World Bank and International Finance Commission puts the United States’ effective rate for 2014 at 27.9 percent.

It should be noted that value-added-taxes (VAT) seem to go from about 10 to 20 percent. The US doesn't do VAT; it's largely state and local sales taxes where applicable, generally less than 10 percent.
It's more like introducing a new $10.000 dollar bill that only you accept, but no-one else.

Another vote for ShiftIt here. I've been using it for a couple of years now, and I've found it fine for most purposes. Supports XQuartz+xquartzwm, supports multiple monitors, has configurable keyboard shortcuts.

A few more options would be nice, though - I somewhat often want 3 columns in a row, for example, particularly on a 16:10 or 16:9 screen monitor. When I had a 10:16 portrait monitor setup I quite often wanted 3 rows in a column, too.

"15 Euros for 5GB 3G" can you please provide more details on this? Travelsim is 5gb but is like 40eur.
TL;DR: It now looks possible that Juniper had a backdoor in place all along, before the 'unauthorized code' was even put in place, and, even if they didn't, their code quality and auditing process seems to have been in the toilet for years.

The ball is in Junipers court now: to prove they are merely incompetent and not outright malicious.

Sure, the languages and aspects of the cultures do go back quite a ways. I mostly object to portraying it as a stable group of people directly descended with no immigration or adaptation. People changed languages, religions, etc. as borders and rulers changed, as they migrated, and for various other reasons. For example some of today's Greeks are descended from Hellenized Arabs, Persians, Turks, Italians, Romanians, Albanians, etc., while some of today's Italians are descended from Greeks, Visigoths, and others who became Italianized. And these migrations and assimilations also changed the cultures as well as adopting them, especially when they lived side-by-side in multicultural cities. That used to be common in Europe, especially in the big maritime cities and imperial capitals: cities like Vienna, Thessaloniki, Constantinople, Trieste, Rhodes, Gdańsk, Marseilles, and Vilnius were multicultural and multilingual up until they were turned monolingual (often violently) in the 19th and 20th centuries. So I don't really buy the idea that Europe is somehow inherently supposed to be made out of monocultural nation-states, and that a multicultural city like NYC is a uniquely American idea.
EV certificates require OCSP: Section 26-A of the issuing criteria requires CAs to support OCSP checking for all certificates issued after Dec. 31, 2010.

However as the other poster notes, OCSP stapling includes recent proof that the cert hasn't been revoked the initial handshake, removing additional round trips. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OCSP_stapling
Neat. I wonder how this problem could be better posed mathematically. Minimize both the number of folds and surface area of wrapping used subject to the constraint the surface of the gift is completely covered? Yikes. It seems like predicting how a fold in the wrapping would affect the available wrapping left to cover the gift would be difficult.

"Apple do not pay income tax here in Norway even though they obviously sell a lot through the Apple Store."

Corporation taxes are levied on income, i.e. profit. Yes, Apple sells a lot through the Apple Store in Norway, but do those stores make any profit?

The retail margins on Apple products are tiny. Try negotiating a discount on an iPhone from an Apple reseller. Would the Apple Store (which probably has a much higher cost base than a normal Apple reseller) make any profit? If not, why should they pay corporation tax?

As far as I'm concerned, her reaction was justified whatever the context. If she'd had a different reaction, that would have been fine too. It's not reasonable to tell someone that they aren't entitled to a reaction.

well no, having a closed wifi is for most people not going to help with privacy because that wifi traffic is all going through some big telecom that also has some good governmental connections. Now that the wifi is closed the company and whoever uses the company's data feels more secure in assuming that data was used by you.

An increase in the certainty of the data source is also damaging to privacy.
Yes, that would be my question as well.

They didn't paid any tax but they have received money form the Government because they lost money.

You do realise that it's neither a gag order nor a backdoor right? A legal seizure is not something that's hidden from users of the service, and it's something which can be discussed and fought in the open.

Rule #1 of bringing up a child. There are no rules.

There is various insights, principles (praise effort, not results) and methods that will help you guide your child through life but no silverbullet, not even a rusty cannonball.

You can do all the right things and your kid gets in the wrong company, you can do all the wrong things and your kid meets someone who influence them more than you do.

My oldest kid is in 1st grade and read, write and calculates pretty well (comparably to half way through 2nd class). He is in a charter school not because we wanted that but because it ended up being the choice that made sense. He thrives in the strict disciplined environment but who know perhaps it's hindering his ability to think for himself. (we are considering moving him to a more alternative school for the last half of his school life for that reason)

My youngest kid is two and in pre-school he can count, the alphabet, can say which letters and numbers are which.

Maybe this is a good thing for one and a bad thing for the other. Perhaps by not being able to read yet the younger kid would have developed a different perspective, perhaps their "own language" which would influence them later in life. Perhaps it would be better for them to develop their body language than their oral language. There are simply too many factors to even begin claiming one thing is sure to work. Two kids brought up the exact same way can end up being very different people.

All too often we think that children are concepts which we build up to a succesful future, when in fact all they are, are projects we can manage to stay out of the worst trouble.
>(just buy them at any shop/gas station, no info/ID required

By law, they have to request your name, adress and DOB before you can activate the card (usually not done in store, but online at home). They don't need to validate them though (no ID required) and it's not illegal to make false statements :).
"BUT to say I gave up on a language because it has so many options is strange to me."

This is a regular concern in designing a programming language. Give coders too much freedom and they invent 20 ways to do the same thing, none really clearly better than the other. Restrict the freedom and there's more like 3-4 ways to do something, and usually one is better then the rest.

As a new user to R, I must say that the single hardest thing has been learning all the different ways to do something. Each blog/stackoverflow/etc... article I read seems to propose 5 different ways to do each thing. At the end of it, I'm left not really knowing how things work best.

It sure is nice to see a bit of competition though. But I'm a bit afraid of too much fragmentation and proliferation, when sometimes fixing or improving good frameworks might be time better spent. It was (and still is) a bit annoying when every week brings about a dozen new web frameworks, a new UI toolkit, a new stack acronym, etc...

Oh well... I guess you can't really tell what's time well spent, and you can't really product how frameworks will compete and improve evolutionarily.

I'd like to think you're right, but there are plenty of people who seriously believe hateful or frankly stupid things. Which is to say, there are people who are proud of being racist, sexist, creationist or whatever, and services like Twitter enable them to find lots of other people who share their views. Rather than being ostracized, they get support, and that results in mobbing.

The use of real names on Twitter, Facebook etc doesn't actually stop this, though I presume it moderates it somewhat. (The "secret sympathizers" may be less likely to join the mob.)
She only had a handful of followers.

But the way twitter works, one of your followers can retell the "joke" to all their friends, and they can tell it to all their friends. The system breaks down when they're not sharing something they agree with, but something they think is so harmful that no-one (except all their followers) should ever have to see it.

If the joke is "problematic", I'm not sure why sharing it isn't also problematic.

Maybe a 140 character broadcast system is a good medium for a nuanced analysis of when jokes are funny (and a circuit breaker in a sometimes uncomfortable discussion) or so harmful that they can't be justified, and where the line is.

There are no compound interest benefits to learning to read early. Children who learn to read at 5 and at 7 have indistinguishable reading skills at 11. That's why reading instruction in Finland and Germany begins in grade school, not kindergarten.

I regret I've lost the study (observational, not experimental) on students in North Rhine Westphalia on long term effects of early reading instruction but it showed children who learned to read later doing better at 16 or 17 than the ones who learned to read earlier. I think it was published in an economic of education journal but that's all I remember.

Edit:

The below study shows tiny differences between performance/school readiness of French and German children on entering primary school despite the French system being much more school like and placing a much greater emphasis on reading. Italics in abstract not in original.

French nursery schools and German kindergartens:
effects of individual and contextual variables
on early learning

Eur J Psychol Educ (2011) 26:199–213
DOI 10.1007/s10212-010-0043-4

The present article investigates the effects of individual and contextual variables on children’s early learning in French nursery schools and German kindergartens. Our study
of 552 children at preschools in France (299 children from French nursery schools) and Germany (253 children from German kindergartens) measured skills that facilitate the
learning of reading, writing and arithmetic at primary school. We also evaluated educational family practices and parents’ expectations of their children’s pre-school education. In order to take into account the hierarchical structure of our data, multilevel models were used in the analysis, which was carried out using MLwiN software version 2.02 (Rasbash et al.2005). Although French nursery schools emphasise academic learning, we did not find any significant differences in overall performances between the French and German samples. However, significant differences were obtained for some subscale results. In addition, our results indicate that individual and contextual variables have an impact on the differences observed between children from the two countries.
