Also, what good has he made to the world of sports if now he is a well known cheater, who lost all his ill-gotten titles?

Asking the question reveals your opinion, but I'll say that I am not bothered by what Lance did. He won those races (both in my mind and in actual reality) no matter what anybody says officially.

Lived in Australia for 5 years. Was several months late filing FBAR my first year. Did it on time my second year. Completely forgot my 3rd and 4th year. Filed 3 at the same time on my 5th year. I was never contacted by the IRS for failing to file on time.

The point being, it's scare tactics. I filed a complaint with the https://www.irs.gov/Advocate and they are well aware of the issue. They have brought it up repeatedly in their report to Congress. The IRS's response is an FU and it shows how toothless the Advocate's office is. You can see their report on international issues here https://www.irs.gov/pub/tas/2011_arc_internationalmsps.pdf, The reporting requirements section is close to the bottom.
Well yeah but we should know better. Pubsub != realtime.
If a biker's mental ruleset says "Cars need to stop at red lights. Bikes may carefully proceed through red lights.", then it's not necessarily hypocrisy IMO.

If that same biker, when driving a car, runs through red lights then I think that is a more condemnable hypocrisy.
Not really, because the statement implies that the Sales people would go into the Engineering department and do that. You'd have a point if members of the Engineering department would go into the Sales area and demand they all shut the fuck up.
I can't find those questions and I don't much remember the account name, this was over 5 years ago, and even then it was my first account. So I don't really know.

All I wish for is that more beginners would read (all of) "How To Ask Questions The Smart Way" http://www.catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-questions.html before asking. That would help a lot I believe.
Some suggestions/comments:

1. I'd appreciate an unscented and uncolored option.

2. I'd appreciate some details on how the questionnaire translates to a changed formulation (why it's better, what research you used, ideally technical with references). Soylent and/or Mealsquares did this reasonably imo.

3. I don't really know if my hair is oily or dry, as I don't have a lot of experience with hair. Maybe normal? but then again I think everyone probably thinks that.

4. Cool!
I personally found that hobbies are great for socializing. You get to do something interesting outside work and to socialize at the same time, for hobbies that include other people (outdoor sports, soccer, playing chess with other humans, etc.)

I have few questions and comments.

* Love the price

* Can or will you add name value pairs? Logging for us is no longer just a single line of text. We have attached metadata. Kibana handles this nicely.

* How good is your security? This is actually our biggest reason why would not use a service like this. Not that we put passwords or user sensitive data in logs we still have to keep them extremely secure due to compliance.

I'm sure you have decent security but I would recommend emphasizing that and/or proving it.

But one guard can guard a lot more than $20m. A normal-size briefcase holds about $1m in $100 bills, (http://www.cockeyed.com/inside/million/million.html, https://www.quora.com/How-many-$100-bills-can-you-fit-in-one...), or presumably about five times that if you store in 500-euro notes. So in the end people with amounts of cash in the single- or double-digit millions would probably get together and hire one guard instead of many (you don't get rich by spending six figures a year unnecessarily) ... and we start heading back towards reinventing banks.

No, the parent comment is correct: formally they're meaningless. Those definitions might be fine for casual discussions, but from an academic programming language standpoint they don't correlate to anything meaningful.

I think the unethical aspect of arbitrary pricing that goes beyond daily fluctuations really came out in this project. I actually was not aware of the situation with JC Penny, but really fascinating glimpse into their consumer mindset. Probably comparable to Sam's Club, since even I expected a ton of lower prices from them based on membership. I like your cultural analysis!
So this bill basically tips the scales in favor of prosecutors by empowering them to pick new supporting evidence while not empowering the defense to do the same.

Retracting my comment below, after the parent comment was edited to provide more context.

This quote doesn't seem representative of the whole story that is easily discoverable in the abstract.

> Surprisingly, our results show that women's contributions tend to be accepted more often than men's. However, when a woman's gender is identifiable, they are rejected more often. Our results suggest that although women on GitHub may be more competent overall, bias against them exists nonetheless.
You're being downvoted, but what if the result was "Our results suggest that although men on GitHub may be more competent overall"?

Then you'd probably be upvoted.

Also, I refuse to believe that genders are obviously different in various physiological and mental traits (e.g. height, spatial awareness, ability to host a baby) except the ones that are socially uncomfortable to us.
Tesla Preparing to Charge into Affordable Car Market
robots.txt actually has little to nothing to do with copyright, and more to do with "unauthorized computer access" which is protected by the CPAA.

It's a guard against accidental access or publishing of sensitive data - which isn't necessarily copyrighted but has other legal protections - as well as placing an unwanted burden on the server.
Except, later....

"For outsiders, we see evidence for gender bias: women’s acceptance rates are 71.8% when they use gender neutral profiles, but drop to 62.5% when their gender is identifiable."
logstash/filebeat integration would make sense actually.

Why? Brain structure is different there might be other real differences. However, the data doesn't show that at all. It merely shows acceptance is higher. I am therefore left wondering are these non-controversial changes? For example, how many of these are documentation changes?
It's not. Using a motor on your bicycle, a little propeller tied to your back while swimming, and a mechanically telescoping pole to vault with are also disallowed. So using mechanical assistance is also in the list of disallowed things. An unfortunate loss for the inventive sportsman.

Other disallowed things:

* having spectators strategically fall in the path of your competitors. Unfortunate for the cunning sportsman.

* adjusting the physical conditions of your part of the field (no ultra-bouncy start mat for when you are going to make the long jump). A pity, the inventive sportsman misses out again

* using a separate biological aid. No horses for the sprinter, or palanquins for the long distance runner, no team of people boosting you over the high jump bar. A tragic loss for the sportsman who can recruit nature's finest.

How Singapore Became an Entrepreneurial Hub
I agree when the article takes half an hour to read, but this was still pretty short so I didn't mind it.
I wonder how much of the first experiment described is not due to causation, but is instead from certain kinds of people being both more likely to win and to cheat.

Some of the other ones do point to causation, but it would be interesting to see an experiment where people thought it was skill, but the actual winners were chosen randomly (e.g. you get points, and they tell you who wins at the end, but you don't see the actual calculation, so you won't be suspicious.)
Anyone know where this fits into servers requiring PCI-compliances?
Theorizing is fine, to say: 'Maybe because of barriers to entry, only the stronger programmers survive, from that follows the higher acceptance rate'.

It's just information but you are right in saying that they should not be making any claims or drawing conclusions!

Also I casually give the wrong gender on websites because on the internet nobody should care.

Look! Somebody wrote an essay about a similar phenomenon:

http://paulgraham.com/bias.html
Looks nice, but I am solid lover/supporter of Papertrail. I really love their simple/minimal approach.

I think the missing piece of Papertrail is the ability to send JSON logs, and filter inside of a JSON documents.
So we are absolutely equal and any conclusion otherwise is false?

No, that is very unlikely.
> Anyone trying to get around the rules is just cheating, so why should doping be excused?

Perhaps a better question is: why are there rules against doping in the first place? As the xkcd notes, 'some performance enhancements are ok, some are bad', and the line is rather arbitrary at this point.
Trustworthy sums this app up.
Subsuming responsibility for things that one could have prevented is one thing; accepting responsibility for something that nothing short of war could have prevented is another.
See, I'm inclined to believe it. If for no other reason than it just seems intuitive. Women who go into technology know it's an uphill battle. They work that much harder and honestly I'd expect their work to be better, on average, particularly for open source projects because they are genuinely interested in improving the code. They always have to contend with the thought, "Will people reject this because I'm a woman? Better make sure it's as good as it possibly can be so they can't reject it based on that."
Ignoring the fact that this difference could easily be explained away by some other factor when it is considered. It may have nothing to do with it. Causal relationships are so tricky when dealing with statistics.
I believe the US has protections against deceptive pricing like that too, but i don't think any of these companies or practices described in the article would be in violation of it.

The law you're referencing is a protection against raising the price before a sale so you can advertise the sale price as x% off the inflated price instead of the store's regular price. Most e-shopping sites advertise a discount relative to MSRP, not relative to any price they've previously charged, which leaves them free to raise or lower the prices as they want.
100GB/month doesn't matter when you only store the logs for 2 days... Why does your free plan have such a short retention time?

Is the 2 day retention time because you sync logs to the user's s3 bucket? If so then it would help conversion to say that next to the 2 days retention copy.
Remember when people on the internet werent pushed towards using real names? Gender bias didn't exist because only people you told knew your gender. Such gay times they were!
Liveblog: Scientists announce major gravitational wave finding
1. The IRS isn't signing binding international agreements, they're agreeing to cooperate with foreign governments in the reporting of financial assets, which is well within their legal privilege.

2. The fourth amendment doesn't apply to data you're legally compelled to surrender to the government. By your logic, every form 1040 that's ever been filed is a fourth amendment violation.

3. The eighth amendment has almost never been used in a constitutional case involving excessive fines. When it has, the court has primarily used it to prevent pseudo-fines that aren't really called fines in order to skirt the eighth amendment.

Sure, FATCA might be annoying, but a legal challenge has almost nothing going for it. Don't get your hopes up.
I don't think we'll be targeting enterprise users like Splunk...especially since their featureset will take a long time to build out. We might be one day but not today.

Yes, you are correct, more value for your money is our current offer. We want to build a great product and to do that, you have to hire great people, so we came up with a pricing that'll hopefully achieve that.

But it's not set in stone and we'll adjust just like any other company.

See, that's exactly what I'm talking about with argument-poisoning. When you spout rhetoric like "gun-grabbers", you're telegraphing not merely disinterest in, but active disdain for productive discourse. You're effectively telling me that don't want to discuss the issues, you just want to regurgitate propaganda, and name-call everyone who doesn't toe your party's line.

I mean, I know this is contemporary America, where taking a considered, nuanced position on any hot-button political issue is just asking to be pilloried by both sides (because somehow, we have this quasi-magical ability to reduce every meaningful question to two antithetical camps who proceed to do nothing but insult one another), but we're supposed to be smarter and better than that here. Isn't that what nerds have prided themselves on for as long as nerds have been a thing, being smarter than everyone else?
Indians in ME are across the economic spectrum, and mostly blue collar but there are also white collar. Yemen is very close to India. Your smug comments demonstrate your ignorance than anything else.
> Out of 4,037,953 GitHub user profiles with email addresses, we were able to identify 1,426,121 (35.3%) of them as men or women through their public Google+ profiles.

I wonder if there's a gender bias with regard to making your Google+ profile public (or having one in the first place).
I guess competent is meant to be shorthand for "likely to get a Pull Request merged" - I agree that competent is a overextension of that, and very subjective. The actual study is more thoughtful than the abstract might suggest.
Please [don't] disagree with my point that he really didn't say take India back to British colonialism.

He didn't literally "say" that, but it's (nearly) irrelevant to point that out. The bigger point is that what he indisputably did say was, by itself, utterly idiotic and offensive.
Yeah, this seems like it might be useful for people who follow loads of accounts.

Yeah, I'd probably like this. I follow a LOT of people (right at the limit of how many you can follow) and I never expect to read every tweet. I just expect to check Twitter every now and then, and find a few useful / interesting nuggets of news. And occasionally I do a #hashtag search if I want to catch up on a specific topic.

So, for me, this kind of feature makes a lot of sense, as long as the algorithm does a good job of picking out the "good stuff".

It may not be for everybody, but I can see this being valuable for at least some percentage of Twitter users.
"Costs were 5x-7x more for build out for a fixed office design vs. modular"

And how does that compare to what you're paying for personnel? It's like arguing that you can't afford the best computers for your developers.
Not sure I understand. So men in OSS are not genuinely interested in improving the code?
> Remember, whenever a warrant is required to get data, that means the defendant cannot get stored data through ANY legal process.

At a minimum, the defense can subpoena the person to whom the data belongs, who is obligated to provide it. The warrant requirement might prevent them from bypassing the data owner and going to the entity storing the data; if this is the case (I'm not sure it is) and if it is a serious issue in practice, it could be addressed -- nothing in the Constitution limits warrant applications to prosecutors, even if that is the usual practice. So, incorporate in statutes creating warrant requirements shall-issue provisions requiring, on a showing of probable cause that material evidence exists, courts to issue warrants on behalf of the defense (either leaving the defense to execute the warrant, or giving the defense the option of executing the warrant themselves or having bailiffs/marshals execute it on behalf of the court) -- the authority to adopt such a rule applicable to federal courts is obvious, to apply it to state authorities one would invoke the enforcement clause of the 14th Amendment.
I've been using scalyr.com for logging extensively, for last few months. How do you differentiate against them?
What is the reasoning behind attourneys being unable to direct the police in particular directions? The same failure mode you demonstrate here should be present in many cases that don't involve electronics. It seems to me like the combination of "police are only required to investigate inculpatory evidence" and "some evidence is only accessible to police" is a fundamental failure of the investigative system and legislation and provides a crippling bias toward convictions. Should I be campaigning about a more general problem that you've clued me into here, or is there something I'm missing about a useful purpose this property serves or a workaround that you haven't mentioned?
Meshes then?
I admit naming things is hard. I'm very often pedantic! But I don't think it's pedantic to say, "Hey, guys, this name we're using is kind of shitty."
It almost sounds like the insurance business. You're lured by the flashy ads. You sign the contract. Shit happens. The insurance company tries to weasel out if they can away with it. New insurers happily ignore the stories.
That buzzer would be more meaningful if any of those tweets were linked or dated.
Sigh. Authors are unaware of Simpson's paradox. Such analyses are meaningless if you don't control for such obvious factors as the distributions of projects people of different genders choose to contribute to.

"I think time to market matters."

That is not being impacted here. And in most cases, an extra month or so does not make a difference.
Forms can be filled out. Look at Australia. If I want my retirement fund to be self-managed, I basically cannot because of inconsistencies in the tax treaty. And, what if I choose to live and work in Hong Kong or Singapore or the Cayman Islands? Why should the US have rights to tax my income above $100k if those states are tax-free? Did the US pay for my education? No. Not even my healthcare! The socialist states don't even do this.

Throwaway of course.

I'm burnt out from my current job and would like to take a month off to reset and to work on my own projects. I have a few month savings. Is it reckless to do so without finding another job first?
Yeah, it is possible that man just overestimate themselves at a higher rate.

Or that the women of Github have a solid CS background at a higer rate then the men do.

The thing is, we don't really know.
UC Berkeley is facing big budget trouble
"...foreign banks to identify US citizens among their customers to US tax authorities. The penalty for failing to do so can be as high as 30% of all a bank's dealings with the USA."

So, could any new, small bank start accepting americans as costumers but completely refuse to deal with the USA, not even a tiny transfer, or charge a 50% fee for each transaction?

Would that be legal?

Ding ding ding ding.

It's not the log storage that we care about, it's what we can do with those logs.

I've been through three logging vendors in the last two years (Loggly, LogEntries, now Sumo Logic) and I'm looking to move once again. The secret sauce is not the storage volume; our volume is relatively small: 4.3 GB/day. The secret sauce is the intelligent structuring of unstructured log data, analytics+alerting on the now-structured data, and live tail'ing of logs.

Sumo Logic does an okay job at the parsing/querying/alerting/analytics piece but live tailing is a brand-new feature for them and it has limitations. Sumo Logic's pricing is also frustrating--they don't apply volume discounting until you're pushing something like 500 GB of logs each month. Again, we need affordable analytics; storage is a small piece of the puzzle.

Honestly, our next move may be to an internal "HEK" stack: Heka, Elasticsearch, and Kibana. I've looked at the cost of doing this and it's actually more expensive when you consider what we'd spend to host a big ES cluster internally, but cost is not our #1 consideration, usability is.
