British spelling is not the British accent. One estimate had the English accent changing about every 25 miles as you travel through Britain.

Have you seen Hot Fuzz? In it, the police visit a farmer with a strong West Country accent, and take an interpreter with them. All parties are speaking English in the scene, but the farmer's words are so strongly accented, the interpreter has to translate. That scene was based on a direct observation that the writers made while researching the film...

An example of such would be the Germanwings Flight 9525 crash from May 2015, where the copilot locked the cockpit door after the pilot left for a bathroom break and then flew into a mountain.

Checkout "Christ." as well. 3rd early BoC member, he's sort of struggling but his music is amazing. He's one of the only artists to ever get an encore from John Peel.

While we're listing things, and on a quite different note (much more "pop" - perhaps too distracting given the context of this post), I'd add the Fez OST (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mYL-5N08JtA)... it's like chiptune Vangelis, and lovely for working and/or on a plane.

(also, Vangelis).

Simple: While legally there’s a difference between Apache and GPL, from a purely ethical standpoint, there isn’t really – you took something that belonged to the public, you contribute back to the public.

Unfortunately, a lot of compiler classes are like that! Fortunately, the availability of gcc / clang / path64 means that it doesn't have to be that way.
But what kind of credentials would he have? Would he even gain access to the games he was after?

The whole point of hunting for the Falken backdoor was to gain the highest access he could, so he could get his hands on what he thought were games in development to be released soon.

Also, 'nother WarGames fun fact: Stephen Falken is, of course, a play on Stephen Hawking. At the time of the movie's creation, Professor Hawking had only recently been diagnosed with ALS and was thought to not be long for the world. The original script/treatment was about a relationship between Falken and a teenager, to whom the terminally ill Falken would pass as much knowledge as he could before he died, so his work could live on. When the PC debuted, the script was reworked to incorporate the role computing had in young people's lives, and the nascent "hacker" phenomenon.
Oh come on off it. That's a totally different thing, and it only ever happens once a year. It's perfectly reasonable, and they don't use content trackers, or anything else that's nasty. It's ridiculous to say otherwise.

Ah, now I know! Serves me right for not reading the original paper before criticizing their experimental method. Thanks for the technical term. I see that the sham stimulation can still incorporate some ramp-up and ramp-down current, but I'll have to dig deeper to understand how those brief currents (or lack thereof) affect the quality of the control and the specifics of this experiment.

On a side note, I've always had this question (Excuse me for the ignorance, English is my third language). I think most here would agree that there's just no rule in English on how a particular word would be pronounced (yes, there's a general layout, but the number of exceptions greatly outweigh them). So when a new word is added to the language, who decides how would it be pronounced, what its singular/plural form would be called and so on (no rules there as well)? Is it the one who added it, or some panel of 'experts' sitting at some University etc.? If it's the one who added it, does he/she give the list of all these in writing to the Oxford people (lest they might come up with their own conclusions)? The inconsistency in English baffles me.
There are some somewhat systematic vowel correspondences -- easier for Dutch → German than for Dutch → English but maybe still interesting to know about. For example, as an English speaker who had studied German, written Dutch made a lot more sense for me when I learned that Dutch ui corresponds to German au (for example huis/Haus (Eng. house), uitgang/Ausgang (Eng. *outgoing)). Although so does ouw (bouw/Bau, bouwen/bauen, vrouw/Frau).
Hey,

I am the author. We are building it out world wide, but you are correct, this is for one application. The same blueprint could be used for any other application though.

It's not sentiment that connects public to private markets, it's the literal capital pipes that allocate money across assets.

When people realize there is a risk they will not get liquidity for their investment, they try to sell to get cash.

That sale sucks liquidity out of the market, the dollars have to come from somewhere.

Which is why what's going on in energy markets, or China, or Europe, matter for startups.

Startups are by their nature consumers of liquidity, as founders sell equity to get cash to build stuff.

When other assets (public market stocks, energy bonds, CNY, European bank stocks) are being sold to get cash, this competes for those dollars.

When there is enough selling that asset prices fall, then assets that compete for the same capital/liquidity also have to reprice lower to attract capital. Not to mention investors realize they are literally less wealthy than they thought yesterday.

It's not something as ephemeral as sentiment , it literally works like a machine. I call it #theCapitalCycle

I would say the opposite; the global oil glut also diminishes ISIS's ability to sell oil in the black market.

"Today, if an internet subscriber seeks 'content' she will find it, in large quantities, without ever paying anyone."

If anyone hasn't checked out Ethan Zuckerman's essays before, he was the inventor of the pop-up ad while he was at Tripod in the 90s.

Today, he's sort of an anti-ads activist and points to that early trade (ads for free content) as a fundamental shift in our acceptance of advertising (as well as the extent to which we're okay, as a society, with advertisers knowing who we are). Good read here:

That "original sin," as you point out, is a pretty catastrophic barrier for most subscription models. There's enough competition in virtually every content industry that the user can go elsewhere.

I think of the problems with American politics today is that our politicians cast many problems in the context of WWII (ISIS are as bad as Nazis; any negotiation with Iran would constitute another Munich). If they were using WWI as the analogy, they would come to very different conclusions.
You're setting up straw men. I was comparing two unskilled, entry-level jobs in the United States, so African toddlers don't really enter into it.

If Talia had more sense and less entitlement, she would have found some roommates or (failing that) not taken a job that didn't pay enough to support her. She wasn't forced to move to the Bay Area at gunpoint, dude.

I do have sympathy for those people who've been living in the Bay Area for a long time, and have had a heavy squeeze put on them by the rising prices. That doesn't apply to Talia, though.
That's neither here, nor there. There are things like AST, various Lisps, etc. It's in the same realm as XSLT, you're not going to go as far as not calling it a programming language, are you?

With a proper IDE support it's no harder to write than Lisp. So by that definition

What do you mean by this? IMHO Java's goal was ubiquitous mediocrity: a cross-platform VM for a language suitable for large teams of interchangeable workers. We had Lisp operating systems (and hardware) back in the day, and it didn't catch on.
That's interesting, thanks.

Now, admitting that I'm largely ignorant about conditions in India, and recognizing that it's a very large country with wide variations--is it not the case that public health in India is generally worse than in more developed nations where e.g. cockroaches would be considered a pest to be eliminated, partially for health reasons? If so, could that attitude toward them be part of the reason for the worse public health? I'm asking out of curiosity; this is not an assertion. :)

Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness in the age of surveillance
Completely agree. I've worked every WFH arrangement possible: had an office in San Jose I'd visit once a month and worked from Portland the rest of the month, worked from home 50% and traveled 50% for consulting, worked from home 2-3 days a week, and now I technically work from home in the sense that our startup's HQ is in San Jose but I live in Seattle. As I have two kids under 3 1/2 and the home office is mid-conversion to toddler room to make way for the third- working from home is a no-go so I rent an office space in a Regus building (love it BTW and the price was surprisingly competetive to the other options).

I miss the office environment and creative boost that checking into my last employer's office gave me. The employer before that? The space and people in it didn't do anything for me. I missing having some people around for the general BS coverslip a that get your juices flowing again but I wouldn't trade it for having a really nice office in a really nice building that is only 4mi from my house that I can ride my bicycle along a beautiful river bike path to get to.

For me, I think it really boils down to who I'm working with. If the office space sucks or the people don't really do it for me in general, then I could be fine on my own. When I actually get some energy from the people in the office I desire to go in a certain amount because it provides a value, even if only emotional.

"starting to"?
You could say that about so many subjects for which heads of state are responsible. It's not possible for candidates to be knowledgeable about everything. In this case, it's not possible for people without military or scientific backgrounds to really have a grasp on the magnitude of stuff. Heck, even those with military backgrounds couldn't fathom a lot of things, judging from the parent's quote on the reaction from the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Okay, but what happens when Dropbox makes a minor upgrade to their sharing, making it also "quick" or real-time sharing? Already, when uploading a file to Dropbox, it can be shared and partially downloaded before it's finished uploading. Do that with an image or video that was just recorded, or that is being recorded, and that seems like real-time sharing to me.

And doing that with Dropbox means that, after it's been shared, it's also synced, mirrored, and backed up for you.

Where does that leave Jumpshare?

It's a real shitty situation. The Bay Area has a very clear rent control issue. But in the real world, when these opportunity costs stop being, companies relocate and allocate resources to regions where living wages and happy workers make sense.

I was in the same boat as you (loyal Samsung owner, still using my trusty S3) until a few months ago when I decided to go for last year's LG flagship, the G4, and I gotta say I've been extremely displeased with LG. Particularly, the way LG Mobile has handled the many problems that have plagued the G4.

Apparently, catastrophic bootloop failures of the G4 were such a widespread problem, that a petition has so far gained a couple thousand signatures [0] to get LG to officially recall the bricked phones. I personally experienced the bootloop of death on my G4 only a couple of months after getting it, and their customer service has been atrocious - even refusing to fix my phone after they've now admitted its due to a known hardware defect [1] because mine was the international, unlocked version. So, just a heads up to beware LG's "Caveat emptor" practices.

I have to say even in English you sound like you are unhinged if you say you are the mommy or daddy of a pet.

A couple of comments based off of the first ET poster/ad in the article:

* Atari games like this cost $40? That seems expensive!

* Why did Pennsylvania residents have to call a different number?

About founders and co-founders
Talia's article enrages me. I've been off worse than her (similar ages, lower pay, higher portion of income to living costs and MUCH longer hours), but the way she's gone about it screams of oh-poor-me.

The fact of the matter is, we both made the decision to do what we did. No one forced you to work for that company. No one forced you to move where you did.

SV is an extreme among extremes. If you didn't know what to expect, you didn't research or plan. If you did, but now regret your decision.. You're human.

I doubt she ran this idea or article by many people, and likely posted in in a very emotional state. She should have just given notice and left. Then wrote about her experience.

Because she'll likely find out that she won't regret it. I certainly didn't. I came out with thicker skin, many contacts and a newfound respect for people who did that day in, day out out of necessity. I quit when I needed to, not potentially tanking my future career (although nothing a name change couldn't fix).

Another comment I read on here about this likely being a career move (to writing) was likely right. In which case.. Well done.

If you don't mind my asking, what industry are you in? It is very hard in the modern economy to find things not supported or at least augmented by advertising (or at least marketing).
