Great story, glad to hear it worked out. Would be good to see/read a little more detail on the analysis part - i.e., any email analytics, any refunds, how many hours you put into it.

Also, did you ever consider a monthly subscription, working with artists to release new lessons routinely?

Sorry - just thought of it - would recommend course referrals / testimonials on your site...

Ha, yes. I don't own a home, but I would like to someday, so I'm always confused how news about falling home prices is treated as "bad" in general in the media. For me, I celebrate the news. I want housing prices to go kaboom so I can afford one.

There are definitely some advantages to being an Australian. In Australia there is no defined time limit for warranty. Apple at first tried to stop all warranty after a year, then they got multi-million dollar fines and were forced to pay for all repairs, or in many cases offer refunds.

Go to the Apple website today and you'll notice clear disclaimers that their warranty doesn't override a consumer's rights.
We already have the NICS system, which performs an "instant" background check with a phone call that typically takes a couple of minutes. The problem is that it's not open to use by the public, and attempts to change that have been shot down in Congress (mostly by gun control advocates, FWIW).
How to get out of a writing rut
Of course the show isn't a neutral piece, because there is no such thing as true neutrality. Editorial choices have to be made and those choices will in part reflect the opinions of the producers. That's always the case. I don't think the documentary is biased in the sense that it deliberately distorts the truth to fit a preconceived narrative, and the article doesn't certainly doesn't make a strong case contrariwise.

I didn't totally hate the article. For instance I liked the points they made and the statistics they gave about the structural nature of forced confessions, false testimonies by police officers and the like. But they chose to emphasize the horrors of the narrative instead, even though the article itself -- by making that editoral choice -- is doing the exact same thing they condemn the documentary for. They highlight one thing at the expense of another thing, thereby creating a "biased" narrative. It's either sheer hypocrisy or the entire argument is asinine.
Sure, I buy books all the time. That is very different to the bubblegum content I read online which would fall under the micro-payments model though.
Unit Testing with Meteor 1.3
I agree with other comment here where I don't know if Avery is guilty or not. However, the documentary absolutely showed how corrupt and evil the entire justice system can be and how one is at severe disadvantage if they are uneducated and poor.

For me, personally, the ultimate proof of injustice is how Ken proposed two different theories in two trials. For Avery, murder was committed in garage. For Brendan, murder was committed in the bedroom. I have learned that as per the letter of the law, it is legal. However, by doing this, Ken Kratz has confirmed that all he cares about is prosecution and he is not out seeking truth/justice.
Does this have anything to do with Square? Everything looks bad right now. I'm surprised MSFT hasn't tanked like all other Tech stocks.
> I adblock because I do not want to be manipulated into buying things I do not need.

I don't understand this argument.

How are ads "manipulating" you? They're just ads. They're not an argumentative authority figure with a gun.

The only reason to block ads is because of speed of user experience. The "manipulation" argument is the weakest reason to block ads.

In any case, you manipulate other people for your own personal benefit. Everyone does.

Just talking to people is "manipulation".
> There might be arguments from child-rearing benefits and social obligations

Since religious arguments trivially violate the 1st Amendment, these are the arguments that were tried in court and were found wanting. No need to rehash those cases here. The only remaining "argument" is an irrational fear or hatred of gay people, which we call homophobia.

Also, we don't know where in its orbit the planet happens to be right now. If we're lucky, it's relatively close to the sun, and it will be detectable. If we're unlucky, it's relatively far away from the sun, and it could easily be undetectable by current observatories because the orbit is so eccentric.

I think part of it for me is that there's a huge difference between "don't have a job" and "don't work". There's a perception that if people don't have jobs, they'll just sit around eating government cheese and watching tv all day. But I think hard work is in our bones, at least the bones of the interesting people. Heck, even if a majority sit around doing nothing all day, if we give those creative, hardworking people the opportunity and resources to act, they'll do amazing things.

And personally, I think the need for a "job" is the #1 impediment to creative, productive work by the people engaged enough to do just that.
Tech stocks and small cap stocks tend to have a pretty high beta too, so it's not super surprising that Square's price would exaggerate recent market movements.
The second season is interesting in how different it is. There's not a lot of ambiguity in the same way, at least yet. It's an interesting story, but so far it feels like an informal documentary, which is fine, but doesn't replicate the magic of season one. I'm wondering if they are going to lay some big reveal on us soon.

As a newcomer to Javascript frameworks I totally love Meteor JS. I come from Java backend programming and My Job/Client always worked on proven not so recent frameworks like Spring etc. I always wanted to learn the Javascript frameworks but the vast options there are made it very difficult. Too many JS frameworks, Too many choices. I started learning Angular and they decided to do a makeover which requires learning from start. Even React isn't something quick to master.

But Meteor, it just made my move into Javascript webapps so easier. I'm seeing results instead of that paralysis of am I learning the right framework. I'm also almost 80% done with my niche Classified ads site.

Meteor JS is best thing I picked up In 2015.

I binge-watched the whole thing over a weekend. I don't think your logic follows at all. If the test isn't reliable, it may well falsely indicate EDTA is present, even if the blood didn't come from the vial.

Leaving aside the FBI test, the "hole in the vial" theory has some holes in it, namely that a nurse was apparently ready to testify that the hole was how she filled the vial, and doing so that way was not uncommon: http://www.businessinsider.com/steven-avery-blood-vial-test-....

Well, yes - if you are using an encrypted rootfs on a server, the disk is permanently in an unlocked state - so it doesn't completely matter if encrypted or not.

It is very irresponsible to make statements like that. It is very common to have an attack, where the attacker gains access via social engineering to a server, and manages to restart the server and gain access to a rescue system.

And even then, nowadays renting servers is very common - how do you know you can trust everyone in the hosting company? FDE should be the default thing to do, especially for servers. I don't really understand why they aren't a standard practice already.
I am affected by my environment. Aren't you? A page full of ads for things that tend to make me feel slightly less optimal is, well, suboptimal.
The long-lasting stigma effect of a recession on the youth
If it holds up, this is fantastic. Given how interesting the Pluto system has turned out to be, I can only fantasise about a potential super-earth system relatively nearby.

However, to be completely pedantic: would this actually be a planet? Or still a dwarf planet, despite its massive size? Keep in mind that the definition of planethood is not only that it's large enough to be rounded by its own gravity, but that it has also "cleared its orbit". I get the impression that this would cut through broad swathes of the still-cluttered Kuiper belt, and thus would only qualify as a "dwarf" despite its massive size.

I checked the original papers for references to whether it had cleared its orbit, and couldn't find any. Correct me if I'm wrong?

Yes. I'm replacing a legacy PHP app with Meteor right now. However, instead of building a huge, monolithic app, I'm replacing sections of it piecemeal with small Meteor apps that use npm modules (or meteor packages) for shared functionality. So if one app doesn't work out, then yes, it'll be more work to replace it with some new fancy future thing, but hopefully it'll have paid for itself by then.

It certainly can be. Practically, to reduce stress, a lot of times you have to square the feature requests of the product with the actual requirements and pad pad pad your estimates. Then work to deliver the least complicated solution. Reuse tools, frameworks, etc... Programmers should be lazy but judicious!

It is a fallacy to think that hard work alone will bring you success. It is also a fallacy to think that you will always be rewarded based on merit. It is a fallacy that the best product or solution or even having the best answer always wins (sometimes an approximation may suffice). It is a fallacy to assume that you will be promoted or get a job based on merit alone.

There is a lot of luck involved, and by that I mean being present (and skilled) for the right opportunity at the right time.
What a load of drivel.

There is a set of writers who will always (always) take the contrarian view, just to drive clicks.

She spends the first 4 paragraphs talking about Perry Mason. And then just a couple, talking about Avery.

Here's the problem with the case, as I saw it (I watched the entire 10 episodes over a week). The only physical evidence tying Avery to the murder was collected by the pair of detectives who least of everyone else were supposed to be there. How convenient!

Secondly, to the evidence itself: if Avery did all the throat-slashing and raping, where is the evidence?? Surely they should find ONE speck of blood, or hair or skin cells or something??? Avery is such a genius that he can wipe all evidence of this massacre from a carpeted, cluttered bedroom (so badly cluttered that they couldn't find the key, sitting in plain sight, in 4 previous tries!), while leaving his own DNA around everywhere?? Same for the garage, where apparently she was shot: no blood, nothing. But there was blood from various deer carcasses of the past!

And don't even get me started on the key! His DNA is on it ... but not hers, even though she drove it?!? And why is it the valet key? And how come the two suspect detectives immediately recognized it was the "right" key, even though they were in a f'in junkyard with a 1000 vehicles around?

And his blood in the vehicle: even if you accept that it's his blood, where are the fingerprints?? Oh right: when it came to fingerprints, he was wearing a glove. Which, conveniently once again, allowed the blood to seep through in the right places.

The author uses Brendan's statement that he helped his uncle put the body in the RAV4, hence the "sweat DNA", AFTER admitting that the confession was fake! Anyone who has watched the "confession" would be left with boiling rage at the interrogators.

And she doesn't mention Len Kachinsky, the public "defender" who effectively railroaded Brendan?

I could go on and on, but this article is pure drivel.
Brendan is back to save the Web

>> As far as I can see, Gulp relies on plugins to be useful, and too many plugins for important tools seem to be either unstable or overly complicated.

Could you not say the same for any system that relies on or offers third-party additions? If I use a npm package that's badly coded, do I blame node or npm?

As for the rest of your comment, I appreciate the feedback. But by complicate the matter, I mean multiple files with multiple tasks to perform on those same files that results in a single output for each original file. A simple example from a gulp task I've been playing with; start with a folder structure of markdown files, iterate over each getting front matter for options and then removing front matter, convert each markdown file to html, compile with front matter listed Handlebars template file, change name of file to match front matter title (although I'm thinking of skipping this step and keep original markdown file name, which means I do nothing), output to single file in a build folder but keeping original folder structure. I also have a watch task that looks for any markdown file being updated and it runs this task for me. Now, I'm assuming all this can be done without gulp, but does using gulp not help with this task?
This is an interesting thought. The point of logging in would be to save user state, but maybe users can opt-out of that for certain apps... hmm
I would expect a smear with characteristics of the planet would be as effective to identify it as a single snapshot. Wouldn't the direction be well identified from indirect detection? Is the blur also less effective because of increased background exposure?

It's poorly-worded in the article, but it does mention that ESG only wrote his column for a subset (~10 years) of that time.

Glad to have made you laugh. I personally have never encountered any of the problems you mentioned. I used to work at a company that used Dropbox for Business and I just remember getting an email that I could connect that account with my personal one. I did connect the two and it worked fine for me. I had a simple use case so I didn't do anything out of the ordinary.
Oh, I positively lurve the Microsoft design team's justification for all caps:

When we shared the RC design preview with you, we expected the uppercase menu would generate mixed feedback and emotions. We had seen similar reactions from early adopters and from our own internal users prior to posting about it. [1]

So then they said they had been "thinking about it" (why a lot of thinking was necessary is beyond me), and that "using uppercase for the menus was not an arbitrary decision" because they needed "to keep Visual Studio consistent with the direction of other Microsoft user experiences".

Then they tried to say that "some of you" won't like the change and that these people have "been very direct in expressing your opinions on this subject".

In other words: they got told it was an absolutely awful decision from the very start by beta testers and their own test team, but ignored it because, well, "consistency". Then they released it and they got almost total user revolt, but they can't back out now because, well, "consistency". But they now allow you to change to letter case with a registry tweak, after all - Microsoft know better than their end users, even when those end users are screaming for them to change a fairly fundamental UX error.

This is a given and has already happened twice in the past 20 years. Housing is in a bubble in the Bay area yet again and history always finds a way to repeat itself.

If these costs are not borne evenly, and some people are paying for the consumption of more disciplined people, it's probably contributing to terrible cycles of poverty (ie: some kid spending money on fancy new shoes he doesn't need and can't afford is paying for a well-paid tech-users YouTube habits, because it preys on their lack of education).

Isn't it usually the opposite, though? The poor kid can access the sites for free, because the rich old guy is clicking on the ads and subsidizing the whole site. If there was a paywalled subscription, on the other hand, the kid would be SOL. I don't like web ads, but if anything they seem to be a progressive redistribution system to me.
I was still in high school. I do remember using Trumpet, but I also remember connecting to dial up using Slackware 3.6 and having one of those crappy internal WinModems that had drivers which depended on offloading processing to the cpu. I remember finding kernel modules someone had kludged together that allowed you to use a PCI winmodem in Linux. It was pretty cool getting Netscape Navigator running on Slackware over dial up.

By the time I started University, I had a 667Mhz P3 that used the BeOS boot loader to quad boot Win98, 2000, Linux and BeOS.

I don't seem to have a grasp of our visibility of our solar system. We can see a number of the planets with the naked eye, a number of the moons with binoculars and a few hundred $/£/€/.. telescope. Yet even with these great big radio telescopes, antenna arrays, Hubble, etc, we seem to be quite unaware of what's in our neighbourhood. Anyone have figures of how much we've surveyed?
Ah Planet X which is now planet IX with Pluto's demotion :-). I am guessing that you can confirm it by looking for star occulusions. Presumably the planet would blank out stars as it passed between earth and those stars. So would it be possible to find it using existing plates?
I can't recall ever having learned anything of value from an ad, but YMMV. Still, it's not cynical to say that advertising is meant to make you buy more, because that's why ad space is bought: to boost sales. And it's also not cynical to say that those extra sales would not have occurred without the ad, hence they were for goods people could have done without. Something which can be done without is unneeded, hence, it is not cynical to say ads are meant to make you buy things you don't need. Or rather, they're meant to make you think you need more than you did before. Advertising is the engine of consumerism.

Fair enough point. If the test isn't reliable, then no conclusions (positive or negative) can be drawn.

How about his testimony? Even though nothing about 'police integrity' was mentioned in the EDTA test request, he talks about it in his testimony. And he assures that the blood didn't come from the vial for the samples he DID NOT even test. If that is not a proof of bias, I don't know what is.

[I never mentioned the hole in the vial in my comment. I looked in to it and found that it is absolutely possible that the vial has a hole in it. ]
Where do you live? Maybe that has something to do with it?

I help support an app with just a few thousand users (US and Canada). It's about 9 years old but still actively updated. Coincidentally, it's user base is decidedly poorer people. In the years I've been involved there have only been a handful of people running macs and about the same number running Linux. Easily 99 percent run Windows. XP was most common until last year when Windows 7 finally took over. The first Win 10 users are just starting to show up.

My (admittedly limited) experience is just the opposite of yours.
