I think that kind of cultural expression is something we need to protect and keep alive.

A future when all of our communities, all of our social interactions, are routed two a small amount of services hosted by great companies is one I don't look forward to.

That kind of thing - just setting something up for the hell of it, and slowly building a community, or a group of friends that way - to me it's very special.

Something similar happened to me when I was fighting some (likely chronic) yeast and staph infections last year. I got pretty strict with my diet and was underweight by about 10 pounds. Even though I was eating very healthy, I wasn't letting myself eat stuff I was hungry for. Eventually I decided I couldn't restrict myself anymore, and started eating regular again. I bounced back pretty well after that.

Sounds like you decided to reinterpret a bodily cue that you'd been interpreting as nausea to mean hunger. That's awesome. Reminds me of hearing that many people misinterpret thirst for hunger, and are dehydrated because of that. Also reminds me of my grandpa, who never took pain medication, even at the dentist. He said that it didn't hurt, it just felt intensely warm.
> All companies grow exponentially.

No, they don't.

> Any compounded growth is exponential

Not all growth is compounded in a way that fits an exponential curve. Sure, any single interval (two data point) growth will fit some exponential curve, but once you get a second interval, it may or may not fit (or be approximated by) any exponential curve.

> Phoenix is very fast despite passing the much larger Plug.Conn struct through a much larger number of functions that similarly update one thing and return a new copy.

I know that, but I'm not concerned about the current, apparent speed. I'm concerned about the "death by a million cuts" I've seen in other large apps I've worked on, where incremental tiny but unnecessary delays eventually add up to something significant. In my experience the only way to slow down that process is to be really anal about performance, memory consumption etc. with every line of code you write.

Move faster for a short time. They could certainly fly down trails looking for people via image recognition, but its hard to compare than to a person walking a trail for 8/10/16 hours looking for all sorts of signs, even smells.

Many lost humans are also nowhere near trails. Old people, people with mental issues, and young children often actively hide from searchers. Flying robots might not get the results one would expect.

There are a lot of smart people that like Python. There are a lot of smart people that like R too. Bokeh is designed to be useful from both R and Python (and other languages as well).

Here is a recent presentation showing Bokeh (from Python) along with data-shading to visualize billions of points quickly: http://www.slideshare.net/continuumio/visualizing-billions-o...

Here is another presentation showing integration of Bokeh with R to visualize geographical data from another group: http://ryanhafen.com/blog/rbokeh-gmap

0.11 and above releases of Bokeh contain a server that provides a very nice application model that can be synchronized between browser and server for allowing data scientists to build interactive plotting-based applications in the browser. Here are some simple examples of that: http://demo.bokehplots.com/
I think the problem is punctuation; reading that sentence it looks like "Web frameworks [that] are no longer supported[.] In JavaScript we have seen Backbone, knockout, angular, ember, and react in rapid succession..." Which is a true statement, though you're right that it looks as though the implication is that they're no longer supported when in fact it's simply that the older frameworks are losing momentum and mindshare.
Talk about straw men and a lack of facts. Nobody said India would have "kept up" with the West or was on the verge of an industrial revolution. I am merely saying that the British miracle was less because they were so smart and more because they had an entire subcontinent, and later vast empire, at gunpoint. Without which they would have had to trade on equal terms in a global market.

Point is Britain would done worse (along with the rest of the west), and India would have been much better off. How much? Who knows. Note that Germany with its industrial prowess only caught up in the 2nd half of the 19th century. They coincidentally had little in the way of colonial assets. Coincidence?

I have provided lots of sources pointing at data. You just say "because your belief flies in the face of near any widely accepted understanding of history."

Widely accepted where? Britain? Because that's whose opinion matters, not economic historians who dedicate their lives to understanding these things right? Like I said, reddit with you. Hope you are a troll.

Honestly, I thought the villainous plot in Quantum of Solace was a little too realistic. Seizing control of a developing country's water supply? Isn't that a bit too old-hat and run-of-the-mill for the world's greatest criminal organization? Hell, if they were an American or British company, the CIA and MI6 would probably be helping them.

> The primary standards of international trade during the mercantilist and merchant capitalist eras were silver bullion coins like the Spanish dollar.

Fine, but that doesn't answer jwallaceparker's point, which was that gold and silver had been used for money for thousands of years. And weren't ancient Greek coins electrum (gold/silver)?

> Formal gold specie standards arose during the 19th century by royal fiat and soon displaced other currencies.

Fine, but weren't gold and silver used as coin long before that (even if not by formal royal fiat)?
The most interesting takeaway here is perhaps that wine manages to run win16 in x86-64 mode, something that even microsoft gave up on in their 64bit windows releases.

>>> ...a small quadrocopter to autonomously recognize and follow forest trails. [...] to accelerate the search for people lost in the wild.

If there are trails, then this is boarderline "the wild." Lost in parks maybe, but wilderness by definition is off-trail. I'd rather see the drone that can search through farmland. Kids do get lost in cornfields.

Bokeh can be used with both Python 2.7 and Python 3. Additional dependencies are needed to work with Python 2.7. In fact, the "write call-back functions in Python" capability uses a Python to JS compiler called Flexx -- http://flexx.readthedocs.org/en/latest/flexjs. Flexx is currently Python 3 only (though 2.7 support is coming for it).
Fwiw, I have a distributed service that runs 24/7/365 for years without downtime.

I've had ~4 on call events in 5 years and all of those I could wait at least 9 hours to resolve. Certain situations allow you to do that sort of thing.
The files on CDs are aligned to 2 kB boundaries. Dedup is looking for n kB continuous block. If the block size of the material you want to dedup does not match to the block size of dedup system, you'll get suboptimal results. The bigger the difference, the worse the results.

Say you have this data:

ABCABCBACCBBABCC

Dedup system that has block size of 1 can see you really have just three unique blocks, A, B and C.

Same data, but dedup with block size of 2:

AB CA BC BA CC BB AB CC

Dedup block size of 2 thinks you have 6 unique blocks: AB, CA, BC, BA, CC and BB.

Etc.
I'm curious about the logical leap you made when you stated;

Accept the side effect that quality is lower.

I'm also curious about the following;

Currently, I can observe females in computer science simply being there for the quota, while more competent males get rejected.

Without actually statistically backing it up and there being a significant different in performance. It's pretty anecdotal.

Tell me, for someone who makes these types of logical leaps and uses anecdotal quips to support a bigoted statement -- do you believe yourself to be a "quality" employee? Because I'd fire you.
> Prevented from being published via established channels, then.

Kindle Direct Publishing has been around about as long as the Kindle (they were, IIRC, announced at the same time), and is backed by the dominant online book and ebook retailer. Its a pretty well-established channel.

> The analogy still holds, because in the 1950s you could still publish content considered communist in photocopied zines.

The analogy does not, even remotely, hold, because such photocopied zines would not be available via major retail outlets, whereas Kindle Direct Publishing is directly sponsored by the dominant retail outlet.

You're right, I could've been more specific - they definitely need to sit somewhere if the destination phone isn't on the network or something, but they are deleted once viewed or some timeout has been reached. This of course also doesn't consider ways that the destination phone could store the photo (screen shot or something). But as far as snapchat is concerned, it's gone.
If you want a unlocked phone, then buy one. Asking for more restrictions makes you _less_ free, and costs more. What you are suggesting is to take money from others so you can be ignorant about what electronics you are buying.

Head to Toe: A microbiologist explains why we smell bad
I've come around so some of this way of thinking. Specifically traditional economics focuses on a archetypal factory worker as a unit of labor. Any work, especially unpaid work outside that setting is considered 'leisure' As I've gotten older and more experienced I've realized this is fatally flawed. Economists like it because it seems like a hard unit. Much preferable to the really very fuzzy unit of a 'family'. Meaning you can easily reason and pretend to write meaningful closed form equations about a get showing up at the factory gates with a lunch pail. Much harder to define and reason able a 'family'

Basic flaw is captured by the old joke about the drunk looking for his keys in the snow under the streetlight. Instead of next to his car where he dropped them... because it's easier to see. Reasoning about the economic value produced by families and all the unpaid labor conducted therein is too hard, so ignored and dismissed.

Still requires effort to maintain. You have to click to add friends. Take a page from Facebook. It's now really hard to manage lists; they encourage you to use automatically-generated lists, though. I'm sure they had reams of data to support this (over the objections of vocal power users).

I've been using this tool for a month and it's really great. A focused tool that does its job well.

The only caveat I got, and this is completely due to my inexperience with Go, is to not use `daemon: go run foo.go`, but to `prep: go build foo.go; daemon +sigint: ./foo`

Another good use is to restart webpack when a non-hot-replaceable file changes:

/projects/foo/src/index.js {
daemon +sigint: npm start

Nothing on AWS will give you the UX that LogDNA is delivering. And a good experience working with logs can be a huge productivity and visibility boost to your team.

But the infrastructure components are certainly there on AWS.

CloudWatch Logs will ingest tons of data at minimal cost. It has simple API for searching for events, but it's extremely slow to return results if you have lots of data in a LogGroup. It has a simple API to get the latest events but it has a 10s delay and its a bit tricky to get all the events from all the LogStreams in the right order.

Kinesis will ingest tons of data at minimal cost, and let you stream it back in real time.

Lambda can subscribe to all the CloudWatch Log or Kinesis Events for parsing, filtering, and forwarding.

AWS ElasticSearch can ingest all the logs and give you a richer query language and visualization tools.

I've been building all this into Convox, an open source AWS toolkit. Take a look at this CloudFormation template for an example of how to configure a CloudWatch Log Group and Lambda filter in your own AWS account:

I'm definitely not trying to be argumentative. But it's interesting to look at what seems like an opposing viewpoint on this.

Here's a psychologist who said that the body reacts by developing an _increased tolerance_ to drugs like caffeine and heroin, based on the time of day and situation in which those drugs are taken:

http://blog.sethroberts.net/2014/02/04/philip-seymour-hoffma...

Again, I don't doubt what you're saying about the effects of caffeine on you. Not at all.

I bring this up because it's an interesting counterpoint and I don't know how to resolve it. I don't know how to think about this.

The original article focuses on specific immune suppressing drugs. Maybe the body behaves differently in the face of drugs like caffeine or heroin?

Maybe the body reacts in one direction sometimes and the other at other times for some reason (?)

I don't think so. When I was a teenager I spent hours talking on the phone with friends (even though I had just seen them that day at school) then later on AOL then instant messenger (I'm old). At that age your world revolves around your friends and communicating with them is important. Later we all get jobs and spend most of our time doing other things and it doesn't seem as important to be constantly talking to our friends. We also don't have the common social environment of high school or college with all that entails to talk about.

I'm in Seattle, so maybe I'm biased -- but many of my friends and I from 20s to 30s all enjoy Snapchat. The moments are real, time-limited, don't require a reply, aren't faked by filters, and aren't a popularity contest. That makes it a huge improvement over every other social network we use.

It's by far the easiest way to share a picture or moment with friends -- a photo is worth 1000 words and the location/time/velocity overlays add a lot of context. In many ways it's actually one of the most mature popular social networks -- it clearly learned from earlier social network attempts. I don't have to be "cool" to anyone but the relevant people to whom I send a snap.

It feels private enough -- hot girls like to use it and that will get anyone on any platform/club/bar/social location. Sorry to all of you who are using other slower, more ad-ridden networks and missing out.

I think that depends on what the Fed does next. If it continues to unwind QE, that means that equities and housing come back down, and bond yields slowly rise (presuming that the economy doesn't fall apart too badly in the meantime).

If the Feds return to QE, stocks and real estate go up further. I think stocks do so first, and real estate a bit more slowly.

And I think that what the Fed wants to do is unwind QE reasonably quickly, without causing the economy to tank (the real economy, not just the stock market). The real question is, how rapidly can the Fed unwind QE without damaging the real economy? Or can it unwind it at all?
