It's going to vary a lot.

I'm in a suburb that is pretty stable - people moving in or out is pretty rare. Because I've lived beside the same people for so long, I know them well (I have keys to 5 houses on my street). We have a couple of block parties every year. Families take vacations together. There's community softball, basketball, soccer, tennis, golf, swimming, and running groups or leagues. Any given day of the week my kids might be eating at a friends house or we might have extra kids at our house. If somebody finds out that you play an instrument, you will start getting invitations to meet up and play. There's an organized bike ride every Sunday where people meet and ride to a cafe or diner for brunch. If I leave my garage door open when I'm working on my motorcycle, it's pretty common to get a person or two to wander in and end up helping or just hanging out.

I have also lived in neighborhoods with none of that. When I lived in the city, I was young (20's) and I lived around a lot of people my age and I loved it as well. Lots of stuff to do and lots of people to do it with. Back then I would have not fit in the suburb I live in now just like today, I think I'm happier being where I am now.

I think either situation can be good or bad.
That sounds like the 30 year rule in action. At the time it was done, it would have been extremely secret, and secrecy was not abandoned simply because the war was over.

My current company is small. Our servers are in AWS. You can ask AWS to pre-populate authorized_keys when launching servers.

In my old company my team maintained a bunch of microservices running on AWS. we used basically the same strategy, except there was one key for each service. Our application server ran on our own datacenter. Access to that was granted through LDAP, not SSH keys.

Most of those are actually high-fat, moderate protein diets.

I've been trying to switch to (Arch) Linux -- away from OS X -- for a few years now, with no luck. Mostly because the only hardware I have is Apple hardware, which is notorious to get working with Linux drivers as good as it is with built-in Apple drivers. That's the main thing stopping me from making the full switch. And using Linux inside a VM isn't ideal either, it's kind of the worst of both worlds.

I have a tricky time talking to people who subscribe to fad diets. I don't want to discourage people from caring about their health. The fact that they have gone from eating whatever to trying to control their diet is a positive step and I want to encourage them for doing that in the first place.

But then there's garbage crap like paleo and "cleanses" that are ridiculous and can be actively harmful. So how do you tell someone their diet is stupid while not insulting them for caring about their diet? Mostly I settle for trying to give them well-written articles by scientists and nutritionists to read, but at the end of the day, I'm not their main source of information and good information gets drowned out in the hours spent on Pinterest.

It gets even trickier with diets like gluten-free. The vast majority of people on gluten-free diets do not have any gluten allergy. But, as you said, cutting down carbs would vastly improve the health of most Americans. So, cutting out gluten also cuts down on carbs which leads to a healthy outcome, even though there is actually no reason for them to cut down on gluten itself.

So their reason for cutting down on carbs is wrong, but the final effect is good. Is this misconception worth correcting? Can I tell them they don't actually have an allergy and it's OK to have a bagel or a beer if it fits their calorie requirements? Would that be defeating the ultimate goal of improving their health?

In the end, mostly I just butt out. Let people do whatever they feel is best to their bodies and I'll continue to do so to mine: "eat food; not too much; mostly plants."
Yeah. You can often boil most successful fad diets down to:

- Eat much less sugar.

- Eat some less bread/rolls/cake (or other flour based products)

It is almost impossible to over-eat on veggies, they are just too filling for their calorie content.
I do agree that stats people love R. This is one of the reasons I wrote this article. So that I can leverage all the good work they've gone. It is way better to write a wrapper than to reimplement everything from scratch. I'm coming from academia where I have a lot of systems work. So, I tend to be Python first user. But, I do want to utilise all the packages that are exclusively available in R.

Packaging is improving in Python afaik. People like Anaconda!
It's technical in the sense that the historical decision was already made at the OS layer and subsequent DOS/Win programmers have to work with it in the app layer.

Yes, 40 years ago, the decision was arbitrary not technical.

This reminds me of the Hawks v. Pats SuperBowl fiasco last year. Flippers selling tix they didn't have, people buying their flights and then not getting tixs:
http://www.seattletimes.com/sports/seahawks/super-bowl-dream...

Though in that case StubHub guaranteed the tixs:

"Instead, StubHub as of Saturday had spent $5 million on tickets to avoid defaulting on orders. StubHub policy guarantees that fans will get a ticket to the game if a seller can’t provide a ticket."
"Not many" and "quite a lot", respectively.
Putting in a word for common sense, and Pollan's condensed advice: "Eat food, not too much, mostly plants."

I have been astonished at how just not eating quite so much makes a difference.
xhyve also exists for OS X, which allows you to easily run and start console only Linux guests, it's based on FreeBSD's bhyve.

Password hashes focused too long on computation time, neglecting memory usage. It's great to see some progress on that topic.

On the other hand, we still see password databases stored in plain MD5, sometimes even without salt. So in addition to provide better password hashes, making them mode widespread is important, too.
Beaker Notebook provides a different model for working in Python and R. Instead of wrapping one language in the other, you get a notebook where cells can be either Python or R, fully native, and they can communicate with a shared object.
The result is much simpler and more natural IMO:
https://pub.beakernotebook.com/#/publications/56648fcc-2e8e-...

Beaker has a feature "autotranslation" that converts the data between R, Python, JavaScript, Julia, Scala, Clojure, and many other languages, completely automatically. Learn more at http://BeakerNotebook.com
Would you elaborate? I'd like to understand why you see it as evil.
You are comparing apples and oranges my friend. They all target specific user experiences and vastly different services. If I were to guess, Google would be vastly larger then the rest following by snapchat/facebook tied and twitter lagging behind with 300 million plus active daily users.
I can't speak to all your points: but yes, the Japanese were racist against the Koreans.

See:

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

>A a family has harmony and reciprocity, but with a clear-cut hierarchy, the Japanese, as a purportedly racially superior people, were destined to rule Asia "eternally" as the head of the family of Asian nations.

And also:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greater_East_Asia_Co-Prosperit...

>It explicitly states the superiority of the Japanese over other Asian races and provides evidence that the Sphere was inherently hierarchical, including the Japanese Empire's true intention of domination over the Asian continent and Pacific Ocean.

> The militarists saw everything only in a Japanese perspective and, even worse, they insisted that all others dealing with them should do the same. For them there was only one way to do a thing, the Japanese way; only one goal and interest, the Japanese interest; only one destiny for the East Asian countries, to become so many Manchukuos or Koreas tied forever to Japan. These racial impositions... made any real understanding between the Japanese militarists and the people of our region virtually impossible.

Interestingly, even Japanese propaganda asserting racial harmony itself was tinged with racism. Compare this picture of an imaginary pro-japanese chinese demonstration,

http://chineseposters.net/gallery/e27-165.php

with another picture of japanese soldiers rescuing the chinese:

http://chineseposters.net/gallery/e27-166.php

The faces of the Chinese are ugly; nowhere near as refined or as elegant as that of the depicted Japanese in the second. One could argue this is style, but in a work that's intended to be seen by huge volumes of people, this particular detail is one of many that points to overwhelming racism.

There is no strong evidence of what people ate dozens of millennia ago, and there is even less evidence that they were healthier than people who follow modern diets recommended by nutritionists.
The "its on the web argument" has a technical backing to it. Google own's their own servers, and understands what their own hardware and software is doing. Collecting metrics on all that makes sense.

It is when you change it to an individual level that it becomes problematic. Instead of talking about what is happening with a product across all users, you are now talking about what a specific person is doing. And that is why tracking at the OS level is more problematic than at a web server level - by definition, my OS is personal usage.
You're right. That's probably the proper legal solution.
Do the other extensions:

- Store all your translations, along with their contexts, to your account?

and have a accompanying web-apps which let you:

- review those translations with flashcards, prioritizing the most frequent words in the language, and utilizing a spaced repetition algorithm so that you spend more time on the words and phrases you find difficult?

- export of those flashcards for use in other apps such as Anki

- upload novels to read in a distraction free, paginated reading interface which works well on mobile devices?

- watch videos with sync'd transcriptions?

- share and vote on native texts and videos with a community of language learners?

If so, please let me know!

And if you didn't realize any of the above - I take the blame for not communicating it better on the landing page. The problem is that overwhelming users with info usually isn't a great idea either. Hard to strike the right balance.

I don't expect everyone who installs the Google Translate extension to install Readlang - since mine is targeted mainly at intermediate and advanced language learners.
Exactly. If he meant "all majority-Muslim countries", that's over a billion people including US "allies" like Saudi Arabia and Turkey.

And what of Muslim Americans?

That's just ridiculous. Nobody reads user agreements, everybody knows nobody reads user agreements, and pretty much everybody expects that if you purchase something through a company, that company is responsible for delivering.

You can't reasonably set up a marketplace, be the middleman for buying and selling, then throw up your hands and say "sucks to be you" when the product you advertise doesn't get delivered to buyers.

This might be legal, but it is completely nuts, and the existence of a "we're completely nuts" clause in the user agreement doesn't mitigate that.
Balancing enables it to be any height without increasing footprint or hence weight. The camera can be at human height, but only take up as much floor space as a human. As an example, the Beam Pro does not balance, has 4 wheels and weighs over 100 pounds with a camera at 5'6". Anybots QB weighs about 35 pounds and can have the camera at 6'2".

It also enables added mass without changing the drive system. So instruments and equipment can be added.
Sometimes Ticketmaster takes a long while to print the tickets. So even if the seller has to send in the tickets as soon as possible (which is in fact the case), there's going to be some period where the transaction has occurred and the seller can't possibly send the tickets to the buyer.

I think Stubhub has non-delivery penalties, but probably not enough to cancel out this windfall.

Interesting. I've been thinking of incorporating extra translation services for premium users. Microsoft Bing would be another one. It would be nice to show alternative translations although not sure how the UI would work yet. No promises at the moment but I like the idea!

Lawsuit: FitBit devices dangerously underestimate heart rate
From what I can see, he also readily admits that IPv4 and IPv4+ hosts cannot talk to each other, or more clearly, we cannot start using the extended address space before almost everybody has IPv4+ capable software.

I don't know whether to respond to that with "what?" or "yeah, so what?" but I'm leaning toward the former. IPv4 and IPv4+ hosts would communicate with each other, but IPv4 would only be able to communicate with the overlapping range of IPv4+.

Addresses in this range would have initially been relatively valuable but their value would be expected to decrease over time as more hosts started working over IPv4+.

I think djb was right, but obviously we're unlikely to ever find out.
Just FYI, "538" is a reference to the number of electoral votes in the United States, since the blog was born while covering the 2008 presidential election.

No, but my plan was to go to the US for my first job. I already passed a few interviews.
I've got one- every interface has two ipv6 ips, one real, one link local, which requires a lot of little tweaks in a lot of deployments.

Or if you're doing DSR, the default route ordering rules are different.
I mean...so is every diet. That's sorta the point of the 538 article, no? Diet science is trash. I was just pointing out that you would not at all "be hard pressed to find anyone who advocates for a high protein diet".

And honestly, I could have just said "anyone strong, ever" and been done with it. You can dismiss the diets I named as fads, but I have never met anyone with any appreciable muscle who doesn't have protein intake a few standard deviations above the norm. There's all kinds of disagreement about how to get that protein - there are vegan bodybuilders, strongman competitors who eat five pounds of chicken a day, the GOMAD folks chugging their milk - but there's no substantial disagreement that you need protein, and lots of it.

We still see passwords stored in plain text, let alone MD5. But you're absolutely right.
Microsoft is pretty good at catering to the desires of enterprises, so you're right, but in the linked article I see at [0] that with a typical consumer license of Windows, I can reduce the "telemetry" level, but only to "Basic" from the default level of "Enhanced" (side note: how is it "enhanced" if it's the default?).

While the Enhanced level accounts for a lot of the usage-specific statistics detailed in TFA, Basic still sends a lot of valuable data to Microsoft. And, despite paying for Windows, you can't turn it off unless you get an Enterprise/Academic license.

But, Google open sourced it so they're cool with that. I still don't see the issue here.
The quotation for 'automated' made me think this was an intentional error made by Google.

Segway was acquired by Xiaomi. And the background in the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nr-9p8o60gY is Beijing. I believe this project is developed in Beijing, China.
I have a Double too, since a year or so.

It works ok most of the time, but it is so frustrating that:

1) they didn't release any SDK

2) even with the 99$ audio kit, the sound quality is so poor. The directional mic really sucks.

3) they repeated the same mistakes with the recently announced Double2, and they increased their prices even more.
They actually do this for some very high profile events - they require you to send in your tickets before they are placed for sale on the site. The Super Bowl is one, the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight was another. But regardless of whether or not it is a high profile event, the seller should only be given a few days to deliver the tickets after the sale. That way this kind of thing won't happen. If this seller only had 5 days to deliver the tickets, for example, this buyer would have had his tickets long before the announcement.
I think that's more of a speed thing than a cost thing. At higher speeds you want to control all the wheels to ensure you don't go sliding off into a utility pole or something.
learning languages is one of those things where people will come back to it again over their lifetimes when they perceive they have time or when they create some sort of new year resolution or something. If you have the current pricing they will sign up again, if you have an up-front pricing they can come back for free forever, which in the long run I don't think is as profitable.

If at all I would do something like, if you have been a previous paid subscriber, and your subscription has lapsed, you can come back at 50% of the subscription for 50% of the time you were subscribed for (so if you were there for 6 months you would have 3 months at 50% off), this way you would encourage people to come back without completely losing out on additional income
> SH has no mechanism to ensure delivery of the ticket.

StubHub fully supports digital tickets that are immediately delivered upon purchase. They should, IMHO, require this when it's available.

But what I'm saying isn't putting their self-defense at "the very lowest priority," it's just putting it after correctly determining the suspect is an imminent mortal threat before deciding to kill them.

The police are after all are the ones with the experience and training: they shouldn't ever be killing kids with toy guns or people with wallets, which they in fact are. The thinking that enables that needs to change.
I see your issue, its the choice of phone actually. Also if a lot of people don't want to hear that, but if you plan to actually use your phone there are not that many android devices to actually choose from.

I have a G3 currently and it also sucks, before that i always had Nexus phones and with them everything worked perfectly without any issues all the time. Non locked, easy to root, many tutorials and many helping tools.

You need to make sure the manifacturer has a open bootloader. I think only Sony does this most of the time, LG promised to but failed it with the G3, not sure about the G4.

No idea about the warranty tho, in my country i can do whatever i want (terms of software) with the hardware i bought, they cant take my warranty for software changes. But again nexus does not care for example.

Also don't use any crazy roms. Use common ones like Cyanogen or AOKP, no forks from one man teams or shit like that. AOKP is more stable and smooth than Vanilla Android in my experience.
Recording how long someone's had their browser open, how many hours of games they've played or how many photos they've viewed is not a log or a crash dump or in any way related to quality.

Hahaha. Just wait 25 minutes and someone else will tell you it's actually good for you, then just avoid any and all other nutrition advice for the rest of your life.
> More importantly, they would want features that I don't care about.

I empathize with and often share this way of thinking, even if it's called out as stubbornness or poor business sense.

Doing what you want to do and getting paid > getting paid for doing something you don't want to do.

On the other hand, usually when you are great at something - whatever that something is - and well compensated for it, you grow to love whatever it is you're doing and develop a sense of pride and accomplishment.

This especially applies when the business grows into a company that needs managing. The day-to-day management of two hypothetical Readlangs, the SME-Readlang and CoolVision-Readlang might not differ much at all, while the financial rewards could differ by an order of magnitude.

But I love the product and will definitely use it, and as a user hope you will focus all effort on this - your - vision. Caveat: The product is great; get more users.

There was another Chrome extension that did what you're describing: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/language-immersion...

Was covered in Lifehacker here: http://lifehacker.com/5907432/language-immersion-for-chrome-...

Seems like it's broken now though. I have a hunch he was trying to use Google Translate without paying for their API. Either that, or he really was paying for the API which is unsustainable for a free extension.

I don't think it's a great idea anyway. If you want to learn French, you should read French written by a native speaker, not a machine translation of English into French. Readlang uses machine translation as an aid to understanding native texts, which is far more acceptable IMO.
Very interesting! Thanks for the comment! I do see the advantages of beaker. I also see the advantages other way around :)
Double digit, nothing confirmed yet though.
The Atkins diet, as it's frequently called, does often work. But, it's really unhealthy. You shouldn't do this forever, only in limited bursts.

Humans have a physiological aversion to the very idea of eating less, evolution baked it into our bones. Because of this, there's a lot of money in books, articles, and videos that offer weight loss alternatives that don't involve consuming fewer calories.

But, what makes us fat is eating more calories than we use. You can get fat on a high carb diet. You can also get fat on an all protein diet, though not as easily.
