I think the more pressing question that was implied by "sick days" is what happens if nobody claims the shift before the shift starts? Sick days are often unplanned and have much less notice, so other employees may have no idea that a shift is available or it might be to short of notice for any other employee to cover it. How do (presumably) manual overrides happen in this scenario?
Right. This would be unauthenticated with all of the problems that that entails.
My bathrooms in Australia have central drains but painted ceiling, cabinetry that isn't entirely waterproofed, etc. I wonder if you could automate the cleaning and drying (blasting hot air) like some new public toilets or a dishwasher. Put away towels and trinkets, walk out, close the door and press a button.

Hell, even just self-cleaning toilets and basins would be a start.
Granted, it's unlikely that they would say anything if they were extorting people as you describe... but from just the other day:

Christians of all denominations actively proselytise - it's a core part of being a Christian, spreading the 'good news'. This distinguishes the Christian ethos from most other mainstream religions which have a weak or non-existent missionary instinct.

So no, it's not unusual at all for a Christian to highlight the fact. From the point of view of a Christian in an increasingly secular world it probably feels more necessary than ever.

P.S. I am a Christian by birth but not vocation.

Really? I don't know many university students that don't have the latest smartphone(or at least a fairly recent one) which usually implies they have a data plan of some kind since most of them don't have $800+ to pay outright.

But to be fair at my university there are also a lot of students that drive brand new or fairly new cars too and I've parked beside too many Porsches the student parking lot.

Also because the ATF and law enforcement agencies get huge funding allocations fighting drugs and have lobbied for more and stricter laws as well as increased spending; it's become culturalized and almost a heritage to the point of being something families and groups rely on almost religiously throughout generations, not to mention the moralities mixed in heavily with religion.

> Oh, and I've come to the conclusion that civil servants are not capable of grasping any development methodology other than 'waterfall.'

Civil servants are quite capable of understanding other development methodology. Civil servants actually involved in software development are often constrained by legal and regulatory regimes which no one in a substantively technical role has significant input into, which mandate procurement, risk-management, and approval processes which essentially mandate a high-level flow very similar to a completely non-iterative, cartoonish mockery of waterfall, and to the extent that they can attempt to implement more effective processes, they must do so within those constraints.

What NYSE was doing seems to have increased frothiness of the markets. Your median individual investor might not pay a direct price for this, but it certainly could increase costs in subtle ways. Or simply make the market more frothy in the macro view as well as the micro (nano?) view.

Further, some whales (pension funds) might get hurt and that hurts your median citizen. Many hedge funds seem to have a strategy of whale-hunting. Thus dark pools and all that.

You're absolutely right that consumers as a whole don't care about this problem. The Atri experiment isn't intended for all consumers - we're looking for people who really care about the problem.

It won't be long before there's a paywall and subscription for every site you want to read, because publishers on the whole aren't trying to innovate, they're just holding on to what they know.

Consumers aren't paying attention (as they shouldn't - this is insider baseball), but some of us don't like what we see happening, and those are the kind of people we're looking for with Atri

Sigh, thank you for ranting for me.

I just want to add to what you said:

> > There is not much choice how to split a string into words (split on 0x20? yes. split on 0x0a? mostly. split on 0x09? maybe. allow carriage return? maybe.).

> > For Unicode, I don't even know where to look up how to do it.

UAX #14 and #29 specify perfectly well how to do this[1][2]. There are even C libraries to do this for you[3][4].

In general, if you have a Unicode question, the standard clears things up reasonably well. It's somewhat easy reading for a standardization document.

1. http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr14/

2. http://unicode.org/reports/tr29/

3. http://site.icu-project.org/

4. http://julialang.org/utf8proc/ (Not Julia specific; it's used to implement Unicode support in Julia and is maintained as part of the Julia project. It's a very nice clean C library.)
Is it different from calling oneself an abstract impressionist? Or a functional programmer? Christian teachings can absolutely be applied in software. I mean, look no further than the Temple operating system. Christianity is not a "skin" on that project, it's intrinsic to its design.
It appears to be much more lightweight. Seems like a valid market to me.
No one loves freedom anymore.
Loading it from disk, there's no way to tell the difference, because the representation is the same and a selection of bytes are a selection of bytes.

Say you read the text into a program. You can load the text into an AsciiString variable or a UnicodeString variable, and it's valid in either of those cases. They have the same binary representation...but they're semantically different. They each have properties that the other one doesn't (ASCII has random access, Unicode is linear access, either one could have an ASCII string appended to it, but only the Unicode one could have a Unicode string appended, etc).

The difference isn't the representation; the difference is the interpretation that we attach to the representation.
What are the traditional organised crimes?

- numbers games: this is just a lottery, only with better payouts

- drugs: already addressed

- prostitution: legal in many countries

- loan sharking: this is just lending to risky borrowers at market rates, when lending at market rates is made illegal

- protection racket: the only real crime here (and, like numbers games, the State hates competition…)

I'd be fine legalising all but the protection racket, because it really is a racket.
But what if the entire core functionality of the program relies on an open source program? This is the case here, I would argue.

ps. I realize that in a technical sense my comment is "wrong", hence the downvotes, but what I'm getting at is, doesn't this horribly break the spirit of the GPL?
So does this mean one has to go into their email everytime they need to log in, or just until the cookie expires? I assume it's the latter.

It's a little more inconvenient in the second instance that traditional password entry (given that all my passwords are saved in Chrome), but sounds a lot more secure. Especially since I use a hard gmail password and two factor authentication to access email.

Would be nice to add a 'log out on all machines' link to the email with the password button as well.

Guide to Funding a University Education in Canada
Had a scare in a data centre once when the UPS started trying to connect to an IP hosted somewhere in China. Turned out when it did a DNS lookup for the SNMP server (or something - sorry about hand-waviness) the first response it got back was an IPV6 address (DNS AAAA record). And since the crappy TCP stack on the device had no IPV6 support, it was just interpreting the first four bytes of the AAAA record as an IPV4 address. One of our super smart sysadmins worked out what was going on and tweaked the DNS to return A record first - problem solved.
Could you provide an example? I'd be interested to know more.
I sure hope so, regarding Tor and Mozilla. Aside my scripts that make .onion resolution on a Linux machine work, it would be nicer to have a simple and clean interface here.

I certainly understand the hesitancy with IPFS. It is still too new. And they're still ironing out features and implementations. However, what gets me is that it's live right now, and I'm using it for quite a few things.

Right now, I'm getting some VM stuff up and running. My idea is that jor1k linux in JS can be run on IPFS.. Still playing around with it, but it seems very stable and fast.

Also, regarding your 3rd point: I've attributed many network effects to the 85/15 principle. The 15% is your tech userbase. They're the ones that drag everyone else into a platform or technology. The rest (85%) follow because the early adopters knew that it was where to go. Gmail was like this, as was Facebook, as was Firefox, as was Napster, etc. Adding in something like IPFS as a base support adds in "Cloud Storage" where nothing really existed like this before, well, aside 'cloud' meaning other peoples' servers.

Maybe I'm completely wrong. Time will certainly tell, but one thing I know, is that I am indeed impressed with what I'm seeing already.

Sqlite is preferred for embedded databases which seems to be what this app is using it for.

To echo the previous sentiment; JUST DON'T DO IT.

I don't see any mention of how log out works. Is it as soon as the browser window is closed? I'd find that a little annoying on my own device, but it would be essential on a shared computer-- at the library for example.

I'm thinking a checkbox saying "Shared Computer" and issues a link with a different session length (or logout on window close) if checked?

Personally I love this idea as managing passwords has become really unwieldy and I don't trust any password manager service. Plus for a few sites that require really bizarre password length/character requirements/etc., I just reset them overtime I want to log in anyway.
Mass surveillance is in Google's/Schmidt's DNA.

It's their business model:

More surveillance => most precise profiles on Internet users => most precise ad targeting => higher margin => more $$$
If they empowered the people on the ground their who know what their doing, then they'd have a much better chance of success.

It's very hard for companies to regain this once it's been lost. This is why I think it may be hard for them to regain their greatness.

People may not want to accept this fact, because of there are examples of outliers that come to mind easily, but what school you attended can drastically change the job opportunities available to you. For example, in the engineering field, you can attend the University of Florida for electrical engineering and get a job at Google, but it will require you to be an outlier in regards to the amount of effort you put in to get that job because Florida is not known for its engineering dominance. On the other hand, someone who attends the University of Waterloo or Stanford from year one is getting badgered by Google, Apple, Microsoft recruiters, etc... for internships because those schools have outstanding reputations as engineering schools. On graduation, someone from Stanford has far less of a uphill battle to find a position they want, and there connections open up even more opportunities.

This is even more true for MBAs. Had the author gone to Harvard or Stanford, the opportunity that MBA would have afforded him would have easily justified the 2 years it took to get it. There is more to this than just the value in money. For example, most people would rather work on cutting edge technology at a major corporation that pays less than some small engineering firm that says works on infrastructure projects. The major corporation will be looking for that top 20 MBA, and you will never have that opportunity (unless again you are an outlier) without that universities reputation to back you.

And for those who say this may be discriminatory, just remember that it is very difficult to judge people in the late 20's or even early 30s on just pure experience and accomplishment because you are still very young career wise to have built up any notable portfolio of experience. That is why your educations is so critical.
It's amazing how crowded is the food delivery industry in this space and still entrepreneurs find a way to innovate on this space.
