> Do you support polygamous marriage?

Two different things. Polygamy is prohibited based on the total number of individuals, gay marriage prohibition is based on the identity of the individuals; it's a critical distinction as far as the protection of individual rights are concerned. When you prohibit gay marriage you're saying "these types of people cannot be married" you must evaluate their individual identity to enforce the prohibition, when you're prohibiting polygamy you're saying "a marriage cannot exceed two individuals" where specific qualities of the individuals have no bearing on the application of the prohibition.

>It's not bigotry to say that marriage is a societal institution and society can define it.

No it's not, so lets just dispense with that strawman. What is said of marriage is irrelevant; bigotry is denying people the legal right to be married because of their sexual orientation. Period.

> You're projecting. I have no feelings about what the definition of marriage should be... Furthermore, if you would like to take a few minutes to review my comment history to see if I have ever used "God" or religion as the basis for any argument, I'll wait. You're attempting to setup strawmen against which you can argue.

Wrong. I am not projecting or setting up a strawman, I am heading off common arguments in advance of their appearance in the discussion, that is why I said "culture", "tradition" OR "god's divine word".

> I have feelings about who should decide such definitions.... Like I pointed out earlier. In states where marriage was redefined legislatively, there was nothing like Proposition 8. Haven't you wondered why that is?

It is the prerogative of the courts to weigh in on the constitutionality of the law. It doesn't matter if society wants to prevent gay people from being married, the constitution is pretty clear about protecting the rights of individuals from the government as well as from the tyranny of the majority.
I'm having trouble following your height example because "finding" is not well defined, and it's conflating rate of occurrence with certainty.

Being on a blind date with someone who is 6'8" is like knowing someone that won the lottery. The chance of winning the lottery is very low, but lots of people play it and chances are the winner has friends. You're unique, but have no reason to be incredulous.

This data being a coincidence is more on par with one person getting one chance to correctly predict (some of) tomorrow's lottery numbers. It's 1 in 13822.
We've been happily doing Rails/Ember for about a year now. When we started Ember Data wasn't as stable or as customizable as it is now, so I don't have experience working with that.

In general, we've been happy with it. We ended up writing our own serializer system (similar to ActiveModel::Serializers) to provide legacy clients with the option to use XML without losing our minds. Rails has a lot of view-level niceties that we're not using under this scheme, but the rest of the framework is still very useful for this task.
It doesn't literally mean "you're welcome", but it's used in the same context. It does mean what you think it means, which is also what "you're welcome" means: don't worry about that perceived imposition.
This is the most important question here.

Sure, I could grab my spear and join the human herd. Is there some reason to believe that humans can no longer refigure out how do something that the did 45,000 years ago. Don't many types of animals kill this way (ie in packs)? Humans simply grabbed sharp objects. We also tied them to long sticks so we could attack from a safe distance.

I've been through this multiple times.

First thing's first, your router's firmware is probably total shit. Flash DD-WRT or Tomato onto it if you can.

If you want to really nail the problem down you can buy a router based on the processor and memory specs and flash the firmware or go the route from the article.

Again, because most people have no idea how bad it really is, your router's firmware is probably absolute trash. It isn't an Asus is it?
This is a fun game because it also is related to a lot of counterintuitive things about constraints and premature optimization.

If you optimize something that isn't a constraint, the problem isn't just that you are wasting effort - it's that you might also be unwitting increasing the backlog of another part of the system. So it's not only "not helpful", it could sometimes even be harmful.

That's why Goldratt et al emphasize constraint analysis so much - analyze the entire system (usually using causal analysis; why certain parts of the system explain other symptoms), identify the current core constraint, invest all spare efforts to alleviate that constraint only (and not other inefficiencies), and then re-analyze.

I don't believe this is necessarily counter to Agile! It's just that a lot of people implement Agile badly. Which isn't a problem with Agile exactly, it's just that there's a lot about complex systems that are counterintuitive. You can't really be reductionist about it.

I was at Ticketmaster for some time helping build very large load balanced web services which maxed dual 10G links on a regular basis in the early 2000s. I never said I'm any better than anyone or $industry is harder than another industry, so get the chip off of your own shoulder dude. Seriously, take the ego down a notch or five. I said that the statement made regarding HFT was factually incorrect, something you have not done anything to disprove.

Trying to push millions of packets over some exotic networking interconnect in as little time as possible is a very hard technical problem, not sure what planet this isn't a technical problem. Working with very bleeding edge new hardware and being in a place where you can build the perfect solutions even if they aren't always inexpensive is quite amazing. Finance is super boring, but the technology behind it is absolutely fascinating. I'm in it for the tech and the seemingly impossible problems, the money is only a small benefit.

TL;DNR: Quit being a dick, totally uncalled for. I'm a normal person just like you and everyone else here simply trying to better themselves.
The thing about international wire payments is you never know what you will receive. I send out an invoice for X and I get some seemingly random value less than X. My bank can't tell me why - the best I can get out of them is some intermediate bank along the way took out some fee. It makes it a nightmare to match up an invoice with a payment.

If you wanted to exploits this effect for fun and profit you could always deduct $50 to $100 from every invoice you pay and the recipient would just assume it was some intermediate bank fee.

1) "millionaire homeowners" is pretty much definition of SF. And while roughly 1/3 of SF residents are renters big part of them are temporary here (boom and bust nature of this place, you can call them carpetbaggers) and are just douches who are not homeowners.
2) Doesn't matter who exactly are douches or who can afford SF. SF is ugly place and no victorians can help it. Bigger problem though is that rest of the country can be even uglier.
This is horrible. No wonder people hate pharma companies if this is now standard practice. Can R&D, sell old stuff for stupid high prices, profit.
Docker 1.10 RC: Tips on Updating Engines and Migrating Images to New IDs
This actually has a pretty straight-forward answer: Russia is not afraid of collateral damage. They will bomb basically anybody, anywhere. The fact is that US/European militaries are acutely cognizant of stepping on anyone's toes. Russia is bombing everything that moves. Watch video of the oil tankers: Those jets dropped 500-pound bombs on checkpoints full of civilians just to get at the tankers. The United States military would not do that.
Harsh, very harsh. I have friends who graduated in 09 who are only now getting permanent professional positions. I'm not as close with the class of 00/01, but my understanding is that they also faced significant difficulties. I was lucky enough to graduate in 05, one of the four years (04-07) within the first 15 years of this millenia where it was reasonably easy to get an entry-level job. As a result, I had 4 years of good work experience when I ended up at Google in 09. I'm not sure I could've pulled off the same thing as a fresh grad, given that they were barely hiring.

The National Bureau of Economic Research published some research into the effects of graduating into a recession, and it takes about 10 years to catch up:

http://www.nber.org/digest/nov06/w12159.html

If I were you, I would take the full-time engineering role at a big company and then look at doing a masters part-time. Many of the big companies have tuition reimbursement, and as a fresh grad, you have more time available than someone with a family and career responsibilities. Then, when you've got the masters and a couple years of work experience under your belt, switch into the job you really want.
While Atmel MCUs are nice and robust (especially avr-gcc and avr-libc are great advantages) they seen like quite high cost. Cheaper ARMs probably are eating their lunch.

Meanwhile, I've never been friends with the microchip Dev tools. Clunky, expensive, proprietary. Here's hoping we'll get AVR ergonomics and PIC economics...

But it might be too late to matter. Cortex-M0 eats the low end, M4 the mid end, and the phone SoCs the high end. (Even Intel may be threatened at some point... Different business though)

The problem might be Amazon here in this specific case, but I'd hazard a guess that this is just a subset of the massive drop-off in service that Amazon is experiencing due to a major transition to using USPS instead of UPS.

Here in NYC Amazon delivery has gone from being amazing and magical to nearly worthless seemingly overnight with this change. UPS (and Fedex) didn't seem to have any trouble delivering even to challenging buildings without doormen, giving accurate tracking etc. Now every time I see USPS as the option I cringe knowing the package won't be delivered, there won't be a door tag left, and at some random arbitrary time the status will change to "attempted delivery" even if someone was sitting on the front porch waiting for it the entire time.

It's getting really bad, we'll see how long it takes Amazon to figure it out.
Good guy here ^

Maybe you could write about it?
You are not using facts to prove your point. It's basically the same sort of ignorance that people use to deny global warming. "I not convinced that humans can change the climate". If you have some facts that you'd like to share, please do. Making up really clever shit that can't be verified doesn't help. In fact, it could be the same human flaw that explains why it took us 45,000 years to get where we are today.

>The evidence that oil has a special status in US foreign policy are legion

Yes and no. Note that the Iraq War was funded by Americans, and that Iraq kept its own oil fields and refineries.

It's unfair to compare the say... Eisenhower administration (1953 Iran revolution, which oil was a big part of) against the Bush administration (2000s Iraq invasion) and assume the policies are the same.

The evidence, as far as I can tell, is that the Bush tried to do the right thing with regards to Iraq's oil. The fallacy of the Bush administration was believing that the Muslim world would love us after we killed the only secular leader in the region. But I don't see any evidence that oil had much to do with the decision.

The 1953 Iran mistake is certainly a mistaken coup with regards to oil.

The 2001 Iraq mistake was one of hubris, a lack of understanding about the Muslim world, and most importantly, piss poor intelligence (WMDs wasn't "Bush's lie", it was the failure of the entire US intelligence community)
Yup, many fond memories.

I was looking up the release date since my mind was a bit fuzzy on the year and it turns out it's been released on steam as freeware last year: http://store.steampowered.com/app/352700/

Everyone has their preferences but personally I have never used a framework that got everything perfect. I'm not surprised that the author thinks cycle is superior since he wrote the library. In other news the forecast calls for more JS frameworks today with a high chance of more JS frameworks later this week continuing with intermittent churn for the rest of the JS season.
I won't disagree. But from a business point of view, it makes a lot of sense to use React. It's support from a huge organization like fb, and mass adoption by the community, make it a safe choice to use in the long term, from a business point of view. Not only will it continue to be supported by a well funded engineering organization, but the pool of developers with experience with it is large.

As for Redux, I'm more of a Alt.js kind of engineer. All that being said, Cycle and Elm are totally cool.

A little bit of a meta-comment, but I find this article very hard to read. There's no clear delineation between different arguments / sections of the article, meaning I can't skip to find a piece of content I might be the most interested in. Additionally, the hyper-thin content section gives the illusion of a wall-of-text. My eyes have to jump lines every few words, causing an interruption of sentence flow and structure. It's very distracting, and the presentation (especially considering the technically-heavy content) hurts the message.
Why We Should Build Software Like We Build Houses
It's less about private vs. public. It is more about national banks vs. regional banks.

In Canada, the "Big 5" banks span the entire country. In the US, there are so many of these tiny regional banks. Harder to get everyone on board with a new bank-to-bank service. Especially with banking IT that is so rigid and every bank wanting to do their own thing.

As an example, all the Big 5 Canadian use the following account number system: 123 12348 7234561.

"123" is the Bank Number.

"12348" is the Branch number (the last digit, eg. 8, specifies which province).

"7234561" is the account number. If your account number starts with "7" then it's a US dollar account.

Standardization helps!

I wonder if there is any kind of selection effect in this. YC attracts a lot of attention and helps steer opinions about what are attractive investment opportunities. If YC (for whatever reason) tends not to like companies that pass through multiple accelerators, maybe that has a side effect of making other people also not like them (just because YC doesn't) and eventually to build up some biases or (potentially unjustified) extra skepticism about them, and over time it means a more difficult funding landscape once you've attended multiple accelerators, regardless of the quality of the company.

The post says that YC's reasoning is that conditioned on knowledge that the company attended multiple accelerators, YC expects to see more significant progress. I think this eliminates any usefulness of doing a randomized experiment on YC applications, where the property of previous accelerator attendance is hidden and we just observe whether YC would accept them or not (meaning, their fundamentals are good enough to be accepted). Instead, YC is saying that fundamentals that look good enough to be accepted are actually not good enough if you've been through an accelerator.

On one hand I understand what they are saying, but on the other hand I also think that however an application comes to be sitting in front of your eyeballs shouldn't necessarily matter. It seems odd to me that the criteria for entry would be path dependent and the goalposts could move back or forth depending not on what the current state of your company is, but on how it arrived at that current state.

Please note this is not a criticism. I am not a successful start-up accelerator. Just observations about this seeming counter-intuitive to me.

People thought that with Cassandra too. Its not a safe bet to trust in a single well funded engineering organization.

Cassandra really only survived because Netflix, Datastax, Apache, etc. picked up the torch when FB dropped it.

That said, its still safer than the OP's suggestion.
If you're just trying to see all the objects, then yes, N^4. But if you're trying to figure out whether they're planets, you need to either resolve disks or take multiple observations to observe motion. I don't have a good feel for how the latter scales with N in practice...
IMHO, accelerators early on in your startup life are to give you marketing boost to get customers when nobody gives a shit about you. More than anything. These days you can get a product ready with little or no money. As for advice, there is so much written out there if you just spend some time reading, thinking and doing things you can accelerate your startup growth.

If you are going to go through accelerator, why not go with the one that carries the most social capital.
> IMO, there ought to be more convenient ways to achieve everything C++ can do.

Yes, it's my opinion too.

C++ remains the fastest language mainly because of the compilers. That's why I still use it.

Rust is a challenger. My knowledge of it is very limited but I'm not sure if its improvements will be enough to replace C++.
