The most anti-communist populations are the populations that have been ruled by communism (Eastern Europe).

I don't think that's true. The most anti-communist population in the world is by far in the US. I guess the close second are the Islamist, thanks to US policies to use Islam against Communism.

I live in Turkey and this picture is very clear. Islamist rule my country and the number one reason is that this is US policy. They systematically gain power after an US-backed coup in 1980. That coup killed the left-wing and secular right movements. Only winner was the Islamists, a minor radical movement at that moment. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1980_Turkish_coup_d%27%C3%A9ta...

So, yes, western interventions play a big role here. When they try to fight one enemy, they create other monsters.

That depends on whether the party to my transaction accepts your IOU. Most likely, they would not. But they would accept the IOUs of the FRB. That's why we use them.

I agree. The University of South Carolina (and maybe more) has a nursing program.

They let you into "lower division" for 2 years before giving you a test to gain admission to "upper division."

Fail that test and you just wasted 2 years. Worst is that there are limited spots, so qualified people still get cut.
Few things comes to my mind:

Kotlin is JVM + Java interoperable language and this is its major if not sole selling point. So it does not help Google in any way regarding Oracle-Google copyright and patent issues.

Any kind of support might come when some developers get down and write lot of code to support that language. Android team is not going to add any support just because someone wanted or voted to support new language on Android platform.

At least people who wanted Go on android have written extensive amount of code to add support and still they are far from done.
Under that government regulation, the industry has produced the safest mode of transportation ever seen, healthy competition, and extremely low prices. If that's an example of what government regulation produces, I say bring it on!

I'm a physicist and I have absolutely no idea what you mean by an "electromagnetic audio signal". I think what you mean is an EM wave which happens to carry an amplitude-modulated audio signal , which is not an audio wave.

Audio waves are compressional waves formed in a medium, and require a medium for transmission through, such as air, or rock, or water, or even interstellar gas.

Electromagnetic waves require no medium, and are brought about by energy transference between electric and magnetic fields in free space.

Something I'm missing on Foundation and Bourbon[0] website is the self explanatory documentation. It is something that is very useful for me as I play around with Bootstrap, because I can find the section of functionality I need and then almost copy and paste their example code or inspect the element to understand it better.

Did I just miss something obvious or does it not exist?

I'm not sure I see what this is really offering customers. It seems like just another paywell for creators to put their content behind. While that's good for them, as a consumer I don't really have much motivation to sign up for another streaming service when I already pay for Spotify.

If an artist is on Spotify, great, I'll listen to their songs a bunch and they'll make a little money off of me. If it's a group I haven't heard much of before and they're good, I'll probably get more into them and end up seeing them when they tour in my area.

If they put themselves exclusively behind another service (cough Kanye West cough Tidal), I'll be forced to find other ways to listen to the album, which will likely be less than profitable for the artist.
This is a good point, but it actually goes further up the chain. The universities in UK, a lot of their funding is driven from publication record of their staff. So they too are just responding to incentives - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Research_Excellence_Framework

Mac and Linux being less vulnerable is not a guarantee anymore. There's some that argue that the past few years, Mac and Linux have had more vulnerabilities than Windows has, especially severe ones (and especially Mac). Here's [one article](http://thehackernews.com/2015/02/vulnerable-operating-system...) on it, but there's plenty out there.
>Aren't you contradicting yourself? You just said "redemption" had nothing to do with it.

First of all, I didn't say redemption "has nothing to do with it". I did use the word redemption, but in a completely different context than you.

To reiterate: people are trying to obtain dollars in a bank run, not get rid of them. They're trying to exchange their bank IOUs (chequing accounts), which are worthless if the bank collapses, for FRB IOUs, which will still have value.

>A bank doesn't give me an IOU when it gives me a loan; it gives me actual money. Nor does it give depositors IOUs; they can get actual money in exchange for their deposits any time.

Umm, a chequing account with deposits is a bank liability (IOU). And you can't get money in exchange for your deposit at any time, account dependent. Your chequing account? Sure. That's why you receive a negative rate on it net of fees.

Again, you don't even seem to have a grasp of day-to-day personal banking. Follow the balance sheet transactions for a loan, watch how the assets and liabilities move around. If you can't even do that, why are you arguing about this stuff?
I don't have Spotify but I do have Google Play Music/Youtube Red. I don't really care about the video part of YouTube but there is a lot of music there and the ad-free is nice.

But I actually love the Soundcloud interface, apparently others don't. Very simple, and the ability to move forwards and backwards within a track is so much better than on Google/Youtube's player.

If SoundCloud can offer the major label catalogs as well as all the indy and artist content that they have now, I'd very likely switch over.
>> "Eventually, everyone from DJs to podcasters will be able to monetize the same way, though the system is invite-only for now."

I'm not holding my breath. Overtime SoundCloud releases something cool it's only available to people they invite and never seems to become available to everyone.

On top of that I just tried to signup for Go - not available in my country (UK) so I'm guessing, as usual, US only. Pretty sucky for a company based in Germany.
> It is in no companies fiscal interest to pay their employees more.

I'm actually not sure this is true. From a short term perspective, perhaps. But longer term it is more beneficial for everyone if there is more money to be spent.

If that is the level we are happy about you can already run with Kotlin today. Its not official Alphabet, but it is offical from the company that makes Android Studio and it is roughly to Java what Apples new language was to Objective-C.

One thing Foundation is doing that I haven't seen done anywhere else is Foundation for Emails (http://foundation.zurb.com/emails.html). It's a build process that lets you design responsive HTML email templates that will work in most clients. There are so many quirks in Outlook, Gmail, etc that its nearly impossible to keep up, so it's great to have a team of people dedicated to abstracting it away for designers.

It is in no companies fiscal interest to pay their employees more.

In the short-run, yes. In the long run, perhaps not. From retention to training to quality issues, it can make sense to pay more.

Universal basic income is a bandaid on the fact that the short-term, market-driven focus of capitalism under-values people and seems to be creating a winner take all game that will eventually end the game itself, if balance isn't restored.

I'm not opposed to UBI – it may well be the best option at this point, but I'd also like to figure out how to incentivize the system to look at long-term consequences as well. (Though, I recognize I'm far from the first down this line of thought).
Same in medical. It's too hard for startups to bring something to market so the big guys just wait to buy them up. And they like it that way.
Not in the old MS-SUN wars sense.

Extend implies extending an existing X product.

Google made their own runtime, NOT calling it X, and NOT targeting the same platforms where Java was available. And of course this never had any impact on regular Java itself -- so no extinguish part. Nobody stopped using Java on the server or the client even, to use Google's version, because it's not offered at all there.

Their language not only didn't target existing Java deployments, but it was also created (and has always been constrained) for a new platform where Java never existed, and for a usage domain where Java had negligible presence (mobile development in post-iPhone smartphones).

And even if they HAD targeted normal Java deployments, it would have been totally find, and not "embrace, extend, extinguish" if it wasn't called Java. It would have been like MS' C#, not MS' altered Java.

If you don't pretend it's the same product (like MS did), then "embrace, extend, extinguish" is exactly how evolution works in most cases, including the natural one -- things get replicated and some crucial extra sauce is added, and if it's good, then the old things wither.

In fact, in this sense (where you mimic another opponent) "embrace, extend, extinguish" is exactly what projects like OpenOffice, Gnumeric, Gimp, etc intended to do.

But, as said above, this, while also fine, is totally different to what Google did.
If a test is this easy to game, perhaps it's not a very good test.

I covered that above: "Maybe corporate policy prohibited it, but that means it's basically a choice to keep using old and broken stuff."

I acknowledge and understand that some web sites require ancient browsers and some companies have policies prohibiting alternatives. I just don't see that being at all related to poor people using old computers, because poor people do it out of necessity, while corporate policies are a choice. I'm not flaming the messenger because of these policies, I'm just getting a bit annoyed that people keep telling me irrelevant things and criticizing me for things I'm not saying.

Perhaps being a "productive" programmer requires understanding the requirements well enough to quickly write working code, then moving on to the next problem. Personally, I usually find that it takes two refactorings/rewrites to go from initial working code to something that I honestly believe is understandable/maintainable, and I don't always have time to do that.

Harvard has an open-access policy[1] and it may be that other institutions do as well.

Thanks for pointing that out. Yeah it seems like Dubset and Apple almost forced SoundCloud's hand - I'm already signed up to that collaborative service (Mixbank) and it looks very, very well put together. SoundCloud's reputation hasn't been the greatest lately from the user/producer experience so I'm with you that their 'open-ness' is suspect.
You can still hate the player, especially when they have more power than you. "It's legal" doesn't mean it's right.
Thanks for correcting the GP's point in which he overestimated the role of Western powers in most uprisings in the MENA region (2011 - ).

I don't recall any major role for the US in the Tahrir Square uprising in Egypt except just saving their interests whether in the Presidency or the military but saying that the West orchestrated the whole thing is just blatantly false and totally dismisses the sweat and blood we Egyptians scarified to get rid of dictatorship and take all the credit for themselves.

Now to ISIS, we could argue that ISIS was a byproduct of the Iraq invasion in 2003. ISIS was born out of the Iraqi Insurgency and the Al-Qaeda in Mesopotamia under the leadership of Abu Mosab Azzarqawi.

So yeah the US invasion of Iraq contributed indirectly to the rise of ISIS in Iraq first and then to expand in the neighboring Syria and eclipsing Al-Qaeda as the "hottest" Islamic terrorist organization in the world.

I also have trouble with this claim. Its been documented several times that problems NASA stuggles with have sometimes been solved by the DoD, but due to classification cannot be shared with NASA. No, this isn't some evil conspiracy, but NASA is open-ish and the contractors that do their work don't do so under classification, so anything given to NASA would quickly fall into the hands of America's enemies.

That said, I think this is true in a very general sense for more commodity space tech. Lets say, lens grinding on this level has been done for DoD projects, but because that's probably not classified (at least past a certain level), its easy for NASA's contractors to just re-use that lens grinding method than re-engineering a new one. Because the spy satellite programs are classified, we really can't know how much of it goes back into NASA programs, but I imagine something might.

Unexpected iterations
What will be hard for many consumers and artists is that Soundcloud has so many DJ's and/or podcasters who've been putting out something like a weekly mixtape or podcast for years. Now let's say all of the sudden they now put it behind the paywall. Consumers who have gotten used to getting this free content for years will now be irked. I'm afraid people already equate Soundcloud with great free content, so transitioning to anything else will be difficult.

I disagree. Flexbox is a little buggy in IE11(and IE10 with auto-preifxer and the old spec) for almost everything it's fine, you just need to remember to set widths on column layouts, which is just one extra line.

Good point, and to further your idea, even the GPS isn't necessarily required for this scam. If you've obtained a table with everyone in the city's home address along with every street name and speed limit in the city, then you could phish using streets that a person is guaranteed to use when going to and from their home. Using reasonably moderate speeding estimates it seems like a lot of people would assume it's accurate data.

The article didn't make it clear how specific the alleged GPS data is (just says "accurate local township road removed), so I'm skeptical of how likely it is that GPS malware is actually being used here.
You said you're differentiating between long and short term, but I think you're actually talking about the difference between "one company's interest" and "all companies' interests". It is possibly in all companies' interest to all pay their employees more as it would stimulate demand for their products. But any given individual company's own workers are such a vanishingly small fraction of its own customer base that it could hardly ever be argued that it would be best for that particular company to pay its own workers more for the purposes of stimulating demand.
I like all those tools, plugins, etc. you have going. They are great.
