That not exactly answers my question and is no surprise ether. I never heard anyone praising the public transportation system of the U.S. also everyone and their childs appear to have 2 cars.

This is simply not the case in Switzerland. Most people take the train/tram if it is not reachable by bike.
I am pretty sure you cant do that near any modern city because of the smog. Or sure you could, but not if you care about a nice city image.
Like Icelancer said, the Business Software Alliance (although apparently they've dropped the "Business" part of the name). Back in the day, they tried to be the RIAA/MPAA of the business software industry; somewhat infamously they ran campaigns urging employees to "bust their boss" by turning the company they work for in for using unlicensed software, and ran cringe-worthy PSAs about the evils of piracy.

A relic of the days when Microsoft was powerful and evil, Apple was for hippies, and clouds were things in the sky. Seemed kind of scary back then though. :)

Wikipedia has some juicy details (cash bounties, hounding third world countries, etc): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BSA_(The_Software_Alliance)

I want to please see a video showing how you do it to achieve that. Never mind that it'd be bad technique. I posit that it's actually not possible, that it is a scary story for kids on par with getting blind from masturbation.

Jesus. That is a terrible play and pushes devs away from the ecosystem. 2 hours only serves to hurt developers.
I remember there had been divergence between the WHATWG spec and the HTML spec, notably with respect to the main element. Were the W3C's modifications reset in the process of re-forking the spec?

I cannot find a link to the new draft, and the 5.1 draft is dated Oct. 8th 2015: https://www.w3.org/TR/2015/WD-html51-20151008/.
10 Facts About the Russian Internet
There are still a lot of developers for these systems. Updates happen constantly and developers are constantly in need and training-up.

For example, credit card legal and security compliance updates happen a lot with really strict deadlines that have to be adhered to, or else the credit card issuer gets into hot water.

Some organisations choose to merge old features that differ by country get merged in a central trunk with flagable switches. The code bases are very active.

My company (not going to say the name here) employ 500+ mainframe engineers, some working on new projects and codebases because mainframe is the preferred platform.

If you or anyone else would like to get in contact regarding COBOL or Mainframe in general, especially getting work done, especially in finance, please find my email in my profile.
Yes but in most cases in order to get this job you had to outperform other candidates in an interview first
NPM is a package manager. Expert developers are not scared it's just Meteor is horrible solution to majority of use cases that they need to address. You need to read up on what Meteor actually is and what it's limitations are. Major ones have being outlined above:
1) No usable uinversial/isomorphic option so SEO is gone.
2) you can't expose API for external consumption
3) you are tied to only supported storage backends
4) if you are not talking directly to storage layer it's only cool feature is useless

None of the above is limitation of node (or has anything to do with npm package manager).

In late 2010, I did a survey in my office with my co-workers. 9 of them had Android devices and only 2 of us had iPhones. I went door to door and asked everyone if they had ever purchased an app for money. Only Android user said yes, but it took him a while to remember what he had even purchased since he didn't use the app anymore. Both of us who had iPhones purchased multiple products including on Cydia (The jailbroken app store). We both also made purchases early on when the App Store prices were still in the $5 - $10 range for apps which are today mostly free. This seems to be a continuation of that trend; More total Android devices with less total revenue.
I'd reason that legacy costs would be an issue for black taxi drivers even if they could set their own fares:

All registered taxi drivers have already spent £££ getting "qualified" to be a taxi driver. If they suddenly have the ability to set lower fares to compete with minicabs, they wouldn't be happy to do so given they have already incurred the costs (albeit sunk) of being able to do what they do.

If I were to start planning a solution, I would look at other ways taxi drivers can be given value-adding advantages without harming minicabs or worsening current levels of service for consumers. e.g. Only black taxis (not minicabs) can use bus lanes so anyone wanting a faster journey would be happy to pay a premium for black taxis.

However, I fear this has become too politicised for intelligent consideration of the issues at hand.
The jsx part is a bit of saying "X is better than Y because I like X!" but I see the rest of the article as more about why he thinks React+Redux are harder to use. A lot of it has to do with the number of things to learn and functional instead of OO. The last part is a belief held by many developers.

I haven't tried Elm or Cycle in production but think our code would be much easier to work with if it were written in any of those that it is today with React. There might be other problems like stability and some special features we might miss or the learning period might be much longerthan I think but overall both alternatives looks better to me.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_pencil

> Between 1822 and 1874, more than 160 patents were registered pertaining to a variety of improvements to mechanical pencils. The first spring-loaded mechanical pencil was patented in 1877 and a twist-feed mechanism was developed in 1895. The 0.9 mm lead was introduced in 1938,[citation needed] and later it was followed by 0.3, 0.5 and 0.7 sizes. Eventually, 1.3 and 1.4 mm mechanisms were available, and 0.4 and 0.2 versions are now produced.

> The mechanical pencil became successful in Japan with some improvements in 1915 by Tokuji Hayakawa, a metal worker who had just finished his apprenticeship. It was introduced as the "Ever-Ready Sharp Pencil". Success was not immediate, since the metal shaft—essential for the pencil's long life—was unfamiliar to users. However, the Ever-Ready Sharp began selling in huge numbers after a company from Tokyo and Osaka made large orders.[9][10] Later, Tokuji Hayakawa's company got its name from that pencil: Sharp.[9]
Some users want that specialization, many users don't. Does the Amazon search interface not allow you to filter by shipping time? That seems like the correct way to solve your problem.
I'm sure someone else will chime in to name the logical fallacy you're setting us off on. It's completely besides the point whom these actions were targeted against.

Entirely depends on how good your local post office are. Here in the UK, delivering to my parents out in the country Royal Mail is great. Delivering to my flat in the city, I'd rather have UPS.
Now that I have family and children, I find it important that my children have contact with people in different socioecenomic situations, so they understand that not everybody lives like us.

I'm very glad that one of the best friends of my oldest son is Moroccan, and another is half Japanese, although his school is still remarkable white for this neighbourhood (perhaps Montessori schools appeal more to white, educated or affluent people?).

Of course in the end, I don't want anyone to be way richer or poorer than we are, but as long as that's the reality we live in, I'd like my children to be aware of that.
AFAIK Dreamhost is the first major provider to make it an easy control panel switch for their shared hosting customers, but I might be uninformed.
I wonder how many existing similar apps they are taking out of business with this app.

I remember when I was little, my mother used to clean my ears with those against my will. "We continue to twist Q-tips in our ears thanks to a simple truth: It feels great." Well, to me it felt awful and obviously I never used those myself. Now I can feel smugly superior because even as a baby I knew these things are bullshit.

No. I would replace it with no agreements; everyone pays the cost of sending their packets.

Markets => competition => lower price.
Absolutely, and in all the minimally smart organizations I've worked for it's something the financial people always keep foremost in their minds. Screw it up, and you have to lay off the people who are doing the work that'll pay for the next increment of the org's operations (or tell them "if thus and so happens we'll pay you, until then you're welcome to continue working, we're storing your paychecks in the safe", as happened with Lisp Machines Inc. a couple of months before TI started investing in us).
Well the USB power specs are a unholy mess since 3.1 was introduced.

You have your default 0.5A USB.

Then you have the battery charging spec that goes up to about 2A (either negotiated in 0.1A increments, or in bulk via a data pin short at the supply end).

Then you have your C port spec that defines C to A or B, via a resistor in the wire. And no less than two tiers of C to C via two other resistors.

And then you have the power delivery spec. It builds on the Battery charging spec by allowing voltage to go up to 20V depending on the wire, and will work with any port (A, B or C).

Basically what is happening is that various wires are being made according to the C spec, but using a C to C resistor where they should be using a C to A/B resistor.

I suspect the confusion stems from both the Battery Charging spec and the C port spec use resistors. One of them in the wire, the other in the port, to signal that the device can draw more than 0.5A.

Why any of that is even there when a C port have way more pins than any A or B port can deliver, and thus it should be bleedingly obvious that you are not dealing with a C to C wire, is beyond my comprehension.
> Traditional media take the side that fits their story. NPR takes the side of the unempowered, even when they might be on the wrong side, other outlets have their own agendas and follow through with that.

This isn't true and I think you have traditional news media confused with the "info-tainment" world. I can assure you NPR doesn't have a unified agenda that is required to be met or is run by some "cabal" locked away in a secret lair picking sides and passing down marching orders. News media is produced by a wide variety of outlets and sources. Organizations leverage both in-house staff/resources as well as thousands of external sources (AP, Reuters, ITN, et al) for producing content. Not to mention all of the smaller, independent public media stations producing content that NPR picks up. Phrases such as "it's to make their audience feel good or bad about themselves" or "You play your audience or risk losing it" are simply lazy arguments without merit.

Most "right" representatives don't want anything to do with corporate politics, they want to hunker down and write useful code.

That is why the sociopaths and busybodies "rise" to the top of any org, because those that started it all don't want to get involved in that (and will likely just pack up and move on if push comes to shove).
Right, but then you should set up specific restrictions for very specific circumstances. E.g. if a company in China is using coal power (that would be below EU/US standards of pollution), you apply extra "fair-market fees" to their imports. However, you also allow for "certification" - if a company proves they comply to the stricter laws, they don't need to pay the fee.
I wish the US had the transportation culture of Switzerland, in reference to a nice forward infrastructure.

All we have here are old diesel trains, crappy busses, and corrupt politicians and companies that tell us we can't have any better. And to add insult to injury, they keep raising fairs and increasing delays and down time.
I would like to look at that "Goldman Sachs report" because everyone is quoting it but nobody has put a link to it. Now it seems like a fact but there is no single proof of it.

Anecdata: It won't replace any of the sound recorders I use day-to-day (Dropvox, Audioshare, Fieldscaper) but that's largely because the musical aspects (chord guessing, overdubbing, tuning) are irrelevant to me.
me too, I travel regularly from Basel to Lugano, daily in the Bern - Zürich, also using regional trains and never saw a diesel machine for passengers transportation, except for some rare unexpected cases.

I traveled some times from Zürich to Munich and saw that in the German side, rails have no electricity and then the SBB are forced to use a diesel powered machine, but except for that, I still have to find a connection where the diesel machine is necessary every time, I am curious!
All sorts of careers, for example:

- developers who want to develop some data-based product (a travel agency website, who finds the best deals from airline companies);

- lawyers can use it to structure the data from Judgments and Laws (so that they are able to query the data for things like: which judges have interpreted this law in their judgments) (more on this: http://blog.scrapinghub.com/2016/01/13/vizlegal-rise-of-mach...)

- (data-)journalists who work on investigative data-based articles (they use it to gather the data to build visualizations, infographics, and also to support their arguments).

- real state agencies can use it to grab the prices of their competitors, or to get a map of what people are selling, what are the areas where there is more demand.

- large companies that want to track their online reputation can scrape forums, blogs, etc, for further analysis.

- online retailers that want to keep their prices balanced with their competitors can scrape the competitors websites collecting prices from them.

Less companies means less wooing for end users and thus - a general quality drop in the long run.
Well, I know that it definitely, absolutely works while abroad. How do I know? Because the cards from that bank don't arrive with a pin. You don't get two envelopes, one with the card another with a pin - it's just the card, then you have to go online, log in, activate the card and set the pin. I've had new cards delivered to my UK address, activated them online and they worked in the UK without any problem(without ever being used in Poland first). So maybe there is something on the chip, some variable saying "always check the pin with server"?

I do hope you're not being serious, here -- your humor is a bit dry.

Strong rule of law is one of the defining hallmarks of a just and fair legal system. If a law is causing injustice, you repeal or rewrite it. You don't simply ignore or downplay it when it "feels" right.

In order to get shiny new trains and big public infrastructure projects like this, you need to pay a lot of tax, and this model does not go down well with the American electorate, generally speaking.
Anyone who ran against her on this issue would get widely attacked as a misogynistic, woman-hating anti-feminist - which means that most likely the only people who would actually be willing to do so are actual misogynistic anti-feminists, and I doubt the Linux Foundation wants them on its board either.

True.

How does it feel like to work in the microelectronics industry in Trondheim?
You must be kidding. It is uncomfortable to stick anything in one's ears; do you feel pleasure when putting something deep into the nasal cavity as well? For me, that's similarly uncomfortable.
The Litvinenko death occurred prior to the Russian Georgian war, prior to Obama's grand reset, prior to the failure of that reset, prior to the Crimean crisis, in essence, prior to the current political situation. And there has never been any real doubt that it was orchestrated by the KGB, with (at the very least) the knowledge of Putin.
Precisely which parts do you not believe. We know he died from Polonium poisoning, we know that there is strong evidence to show that Andrei Lugovoi and Dmitry Kovtun administered the poison.

> Similar to how building houses is pretty straightforward.

Because we've been doing it for decades. The railroad wasn't straightforward to build when it first started. After a century there sure are lessons learnt. The conventional apartment building, or the conventional sky scraper, are not in the same league as some mega construction projects out there, so it's not always "straightforward".

Even though most startups and enterprises are solving very similar basic problems, the field itself is still quite young and open to innovation. In a century, perhaps building fairly complex social network with fairly high traffic might be as straightforward as setting up a Medium account, but we're not there. Like you said, there are many issues that are not easy problems to solve yet: dev ops, CI, etc.
Are we forgetting Crimea and Ukraine already?

It isn't, but at least for a long time that wasn't an issue. Most terminals were set to online mode, so pin wasn't verified by card but by bank. On the other hand the ones in UK mostly work in offline mode which requires the PIN to be verified by card. Not a great thing to discover abroad that your card chip doesn't contain any PIN at all. Good thing is that it can be placed/updated on card by simply using ATM.
> What I have observed so far aligns with the article, the surrounding community (social, education, family etc)plays a big part in having a lesser complicated life.

And why i think this is getting noticed, and diagnosed, more now. Because the modern world, at least in the west, is dismantling those old structures.

Where before the oldest generation looked after the youngest while the adults worked the fields and such nearby, now the oldest live across the nation, or even the globe, and the youngest are packed off to schools that are overcrowded and understaffed.

I'm not deep into sandstorm or know how search is/will be implemented there but these thoughts might help understanding alternatives.

It seems you see the search indexer as a process which has accesses all data from the outside in order to index it.

What if each grain itself exposes its inner index via an interface that can be accessed by the global search indexer?

This way the search indexer only sees what it shall see but not data meant to be hidden (like passwords). Also by exposing it via a security managed interface not every process/grain gets access to every other grains data.

This method surely complicates things a bit compared to file system access but the minimum implementation of the grain presenting the search the whole internal file tree. Is no worse than the traditional way.
