3 years working from home. There are pros and cons, but the pros for myself and my company easily win the day. When I think of all the time - productive and personal - that I and other people have wasted commuting, it hurts my head.

Generally I think of working from home in terms of collaborative work and execution. About 10% of what I do is collaborative while 90% is pure execution. For collaborative work, there's no substitute for being in the same room with other people. But when it comes to executing, which is most of what we do, being in a private office at home allows me so much more productivity than I ever have in a typical office. The social isolation that people mention does occur occasionally, but there are ways to mitigate it.

Another thing to consider is that many teams or organizations are naturally distributed across offices or companies already, including teams that work on open source efforts. When it comes to this kind of work, collaboration must be electronic and where you sit doesn't really matter. You may as well get some more out of your day by skipping the commute.
Yes, I think you're being paranoid. It's hard to blame you given the last few news cycles. Canada did not backdoor your phone.

Having worked for a couple years for a Canadian company, I will confirm for you: Canada is super-unfriendly about people entering the country to work undisclosed jobs. Canadian customs often seems to start from the presumption that your visit is surreptitiously commercial.

If you give customs a sort of "half-commercial" answer, like "visiting a client" or "giving a talk", it can get worse. I was often given the advice of simply claiming I was there to visit a friend, even when what I was going for was otherwise legit. I've had friends in that same situation turned back at the border.
You know, someone saw this problem years ahead of the rest of the cs community and started a license to help encourage user freedom. Its just a shame that I see gpl shat on so much in that community.

Personally I think RMS is a man ahead of his time, and that history will prove he has the correct view regarding user freedom.
The tax code is so complex, and prosecuting would be very expensive. That does not mean that the techniques being used are legal. Mostly people just get asked to pay the tax back with penalties rather than prosecute. But I would not assume it is all clearly legal.
Anonymizing data is a myth. Enough data, and you can guess from only a few details who its about. There are ways of identifying a computer by what software/updates are installed. Identify a 50+ male on my street who buys embedded processors - well, that's only me. See how easy?
It is certainly a rather complicated and expensive process, but I think you're dramatically underestimating the complexity of the immune system. This isn't something you can simply reproduce in a cell culture, there is a lot involved in an immune reaction that finally results in specific antibodies.

I'm so glad LG are sticking with a switchable battery - it's a must have feature for me. Lots of people have forgotten what it's like to grab a wall-charged battery, slip it in and run out the door with 100% power in a few seconds. Tethering your phone to the wall sucks. Clunky portable battery packs are the worst. I hope this phone sells well, it has my support.
The summarize one piece of evidence, the 20th hijacker says he had support from the core Saudi Royal family, and listed specific individuals, along with a host of other financial evidence:

">Zacarias Moussaoui, a convicted 9/11 co-conspirator, says members of Saudi Arabia’s royal family helped finance al Qaeda in the years just prior to the 2001 terrorist attacks..."

When facing deposition, Moussaoui named specific names:

"He said in the prison deposition that he was directed in 1998 or 1999 by Qaeda leaders in Afghanistan to create a digital database of donors to the group.

Among those he said he recalled listing in the database were Prince Turki al-Faisal, then the Saudi intelligence chief; Prince Bandar Bin Sultan, the longtime Saudi ambassador to the United States; Prince al-Waleed bin Talal, a prominent billionaire investor; and many of the country’s leading clerics.

“Sheikh Osama wanted to keep a record who give money,” he said in imperfect English — “who is to be listened to or who contributed to the jihad." [Factcheck.org]

Then of course there are the charity fronts:

"Former Sen. Bob Graham, chairman at the time of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, called for the release of the 28 pages on the day the report was made public, Dec. 11, 2002, and still holds that position.

Graham told ABC News last month that the U.S. government’s refusal to release the 28 pages is an effort to protect Saudi Arabia, which he said is “the most responsible for that network of support.”

“The 28 pages primarily relate to who financed 9/11, and they point a very strong finger at Saudi Arabia as being the principal financier,” Graham told ABC News.
I don't think so. It looks like haskell.

>I didn't also literally mean that they are currently implemented by all of those browsers today. My point is that I expect them to be implemented browsers other than Safari sooner or later as they have strongly signaled. Safari has not signaled anything about them. Or if they have, provide evidence of it and I will apologize.

Has Android's mobile Chrome browser signalled anything more?

Because for years it has been even MORE behind Mobil Safari regarding speed and capabilities.

(And let's not even get started on the crap-fest that was Android's default browser).

"The third and most mysterious piece of non-absoluteness of all lies in the relationship between the number of items on the check, the cost of each item, the number of people at the table and what they are each prepared to pay for."
Watch apps worth making
It's a false premise that startups are currently competing against large companies like Microsoft for H-1B visas.

The biggest H-1B users are offshoring/outsourcing companies (source: http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2015/11/06/us/outsourcing...)

Moving to an auction system will in fact improve a startup's chances - most VC funded startups can comfortably outbid an outsourcing company. The outsourcers' business models are dependent on visa costs being on the low side.
Encryption and security has always been a balance between convenience and capability. Although HTPPS and such are mostly transparent to end-user, we can see that slow adoption of public key encryption (GPG) indicates that people either need to be educated or the user experience needs to improve drastically. It's taken many years but there's a long road ahead.
This is mostly true if your application is mostly CRUD with HTML endpoints (the use case Django was designed for), particularly very "solved" use cases like blogs.

(As an aside, for very crud-heavy applications that are client-heavy with primarily JSON data endpoints, I suggest using PostgREST if possible. It is almost certainly going to be better than any CRUD API you produce yourself)

If your application is mostly endpoints that do "interesting" stuff, you aren't going to hit much of the Django infrastructure, and piece you are most likely to hit (the ORM) is so far behind the dominant Python ORM (SQLAlchemy) that it is just painful.

Flask is a lot better at getting "out of your way" than Django. The main problem I see with flask is that it isn't obvious to people picking up the library the right way to structure and scale an application code base.

'Insane enough' only makes sense by not appreciating how absolutely sophisticated the immune system is in the production of its cells. Seriously, it's amazingly neat, and that's just the part that is understood.
I think it is a very bad idea to have those kinds of discussions on HN.

It would seem that Descartes allows you to change the values of the CSS _after_ page load, which no amount of precompiling can do!

This is what plugins like Descartes are trying to solve - how do we inform CSS of values on the page which may be different between different browsers or users, or may change on the page after it loads as users interact with it.

http://elementqueries.com/demos/variables.html

Here's an example using EQCSS of accessing JavaScript Variables from CSS - I'd ~LOVE~ to see what CSS you could prepare and send in advance that would produce the same thing.

It can't be done :)
"insanely" fast was meant as a comparison to languages like PHP and means both performance and time it takes to set up.
It's also a company that has hired a lawyer who doesn't know how to spell. Apparently the interference is "long and twisted", or tortuous:

"As a result of Larping’s tortuous interference with Global’s contractual relationships, Global respectfully requests this Court to enter judgment against Larping in such an amount to be proven at trial, together with punitive damages, pre-judgment and post-judgment interest at the highest legal rate, the costs of this action, and all other relief as this Court deems just and proper."
Here I'm using C++14 with Filesystem TS ( provided by G++ 5.3+ ). Ah, and we must not use boost.
Sure. Most of the time they used it to trigger jQuery fadeIn/fadeOut or move boxes which would have moved if the CSS would have followed a basic grid system other than a <div> construct reassembling tables.

Its a worstcase probably, but i also do not find any sitations where it would make more sense to traditional methods.

I imagine that the most important part of accountability are well-defined job requirements so that staff know what ought to be doing.

I'm hoping to be able to hire someone in the future and would be interested to know how Gitlab defines job roles so staff know what they should be working on in the short term as well as when downtime inevitably comes about.
On a weekend evening the road to 九份 is just one huge traffic jam.

To be clear, the wingbox is, by far, the strongest part of a plane, but it's the most devastating if you can compromise it. (And its primary design goal isn't to account for explosive loads coming from the fuse.)
There are recombinant antibodies produced in bacteria/yeast lines.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3906537/

The article linked gives a good summary of state of the art (as of 2014) of antibody production.

In short, to create full length antibodies, we need mammalian cells to perform modification to the protein after its been synthesized to become a full antibody.

However, maintaining large cell cultures of mammalians cells is actually a huge head ache - it really is easier just to maintain the whole creature. And once you're at that phase, you can not only take advantage of all the mammalian cellular machinery, but you can take advantage of the whole milk thing (remember milk is a good source of protein? All that protein is synthesized and PUT into there. Adding another protein to the mix is relatively straight forward).

Put another way, using whole mammals to grow antibodies is roughly as insane as using whole mammals for meat or milk. Sure, if you can overcome the massive scientific and engineering hurdles, there are theoretically more energetically efficient ways to do it. But good luck.

Today I learned, thanks. But I don't think any of those are named after the current leaders. What we have in Saudi Arabia is a group of people, (the Saud family) who managed to take personal power over everyone else in a particular region, and then wrapped that power in the mechanisms and trappings of a modern state. It's an interesting and unique situation.

I like the colours and am curious if it's a known colorscheme available for other environments (Vim, Emacs, terminals) or is it designed from scratch. Thanks for pointing to the config, it could be used to replicate the colorscheme for other editors.
I don't think it's as much about authoring CSS faster - if your goal is to output a large amount of CSS you can just use a precompiler like SASS to amplify a shorthand into thousands and thousands of lines in a few seconds. We've got that covered.

What Descartes seems to be doing rather is allow you to build modular elements which don't require all that CSS to be output in the first place, while at the same time ALSO writing the styles that CSS can't reach, all in one spot.

My take is that if it can be written in CSS alone, that's best.

Descartes and other plugins are here to help you write the styles you _cant_ write with CSS alone.
We are working hard to make all aspects of Vapor totally type safe. But, just by merit of being Swift, it's already infinitely more type safe than something like PHP.

A key goal of the project is to avoid the use of `Any` anywhere possible, and to move any run time safety checks to compile time.

Isn't this more or less similar to what happens when developing in Java on Eclipse? To my knowledge, Eclipse does exactly the same thing: it compiles the code in real time, it loads the AST in memory and then it uses it to provide you powerful development tools.
Your "live AST modification" looks a lot like debugging Java applications in Eclipse ;)
Still, this seems a great idea! Even if it forces you to a single language/IDE combination (but that cannot be helped, I guess)
Lucky for you, Mountain View has Haskell startups!
His claim that it will "end" LARP archery is disingenuous. It will pave the way for the owner of the patent to have a lock on the market for the foam arrows. He would either need a license or have to stop selling them, but presumable the patent owner would try and step in to fill the void (of the sellers that could no longer sell them, without a license).
Yes. I've clarified and expanded on my post above in http://kmagsoftware.blogspot.hk/2016/02/on-content-addressed... , including adding a link to the Sakura specification.
Well when people want the government to step in and pay for everything, enforce their personal rights to have other people pay for stuff, why would they not expect the same government to limit their privacy at the same time?

Really do they think the piper is not going to get paid?

Keep asking the government to do stuff for you, step on people you don't like, and it will one day do it to you.
The angle everyone forgets about when it comes to SA is that the British pullsbits strings more than any other entity. It really makes you question the British level of knowledge of 911...
> Why do I have to give eating salmon any thought?

The same reason you would give thought to killing a Golden Retriever for food. Due to indoctrinated beliefs, people think it's alright to kill certain animals for food, but not others, and when asked why, the logical inconsistencies become very apparent. See http://www.carnism.org/ and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=es6U00LMmC4

> Am I supposed to justify stomping on a cockroach too? Where does this moralizing end?

Any killing is self-defense in always justified. However, if there's an opportunity to practice non-violence, why not take it?
Log management in Spring Boot
This line is just meant to keep the process alive. The actual implementation of the ServerDriver uses threads. It's also worth mentioning that Vapor is totally protocol-based and modular, so you can easily plug in any class that conforms to ServerDriver and replace this logic.
For starters, one's a stock, the other a flow.
I work from a remote office right now. Even though it is less isolating than working from home, I've noticed a major communication problem. When you are working with other people in the same office, you can notice unspoken things. You can see when something you said is unpopular. If someone hates something you said, its possible they will just keep quiet and avoid conflict instead of telling you about it. So maybe everyone in the main office is slowly starting to hate you and your ideas, and you don't find out till it has gotten pretty far.

I know HN loves working remotely, and I do too. But you have to accept that even if your office communicates well, no one is going to email you an update of the general vibe in the office as it changes moment-to-moment.

> You can not, for example, implement a distributed counter in git that works by committing changes to a file that add a line with a number in it. If two git instances commit adding the same number based on the same parents at the same time with the same authorship information [...], the merge result might not reflect all counter increment operations that happened.

Yes. That's why content has to be defined at the application level, based on what the application is trying to accomplish. If absolutely every message is logically unique, then under a content addressing system each message needs to include some random data, which will result in random hashes equivalent to UUIDs. That is the worst case scenario for content addressing.

Even so, it's still "as good or better" (aside from performance concerns, which I don't mean to dismiss).
That's brilliant, you should try it. I'd kind of be surprised if someone hasn't done it already.
Would like to add that these type of things happen in legal taxi services too. One can't prevent it.

Therefore the question is: How easy is it to track the offender, in both the services?
I disagree.

I am from Brazil, and I am very happy for Uber going the illegal way, because the illegal way, is the actually moral way.

Here in Brazil we have the "Taxi Mafia", to become a licensed Taxi, you need to at least bribe people, if you get too involved in the Taxi system, you will end interacting with a real Mafia, of the sort that assassinate people, steal millions (or billions) of public money, and send people to sleep with fishes.

Uber is our ray of hope against the Mafia, and the Mafia is fighting back hard (physically assaulting Uber drivers and cars, and doing all sorts of manuevering to ban Uber explicitly to allow the police to arrest Uber drivers).

EDIT: Just something concrete.

There are many, many videos of this stuff, but I could not find the most interesting ones, youtube search is not cooperative today (I keep finding stuff related to some videogames instead)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHY_rITP09E

This video is in portuguese, but is basically about the reporters tricking one guy into thinking they are real taxi driver pretenders, and the guy offers (illegally) to give them a legal taxi license for what was then about 50.000 USD.

when UBER was banned in São Paulo, I watched the discussion in the council, one councilwoman showed a video, also made by reporters, where the Mafia was charging 100.000 USD for a license + car + bribes paid

This is another video, unfortunately part of it is seemly missing...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wcfOMVAoG6Q

Stuff in this video (2010): Rio de Janeiro city has only 32000 taxi licenses, but has 6 million inhabitants (plus all the people that go there to work, and tourists).

One guy offered in the newspaper classifieds, to sell his taxi for 70.000 USD, his car is worth 15.000 USD, to is quite obvious what the rest of the money is for.

There are competing Taxi mafias, in one part of the video, a group of taxi drivers from one mafia, beat up a driver from another mafia. (ie: the "foreign" driver stopped to deliver a passenger at the airport, and a person that was waiting approached him, triggering the attack, since he was "stealing" passengers from the competing group territory).

Nearer the end of the video, the reporters ask in front of a shopping mall, how to join their group, they state that one of their members want to leave and is selling his place, that the reporter can buy it, the reporter attempt to see if the money will go to the police, and asks if it will pay bribes, they reply that not in that case, that in the shopping mall the money was protection money, that those that are paying are under protection of a certain person, thus noone will mess with the paying people, those that don't pay risk getting their cabs attacked, ranging from their tires being popped to worse stuff.
Parking and camping restrictions are very common. If you are fortunate to be near National Forest or BLM land it is much less restrictive. But it seems like most county owned open space in Colorado is full of restrictions at night.

exercises to test different scenarios and potential
actions aimed at reducing codependence and mitigating

Why? Why cannot we just leave them alone? Why do we have to invade every country whenever there is an opportunity to do so?
