In Iceland they bailed out Main Street, not Wall Street.
They let their bad banks collapse, not save them. That caused severe sort term pain to bank customers.
They also forced all mortgages to be rewritten to cancel any underwater portion. That is easier do when you three banks instead of 8000 and not the securitization of mortgages.
Congrats to Jessica! As a parent of a 1 year old mastercrawler, I am also so grateful to Paul taking time off earlier to spend time to watch his kids grow up and I love his tales of them growing up.
Having a family changes everything. Right now parenthood is incompatible with startups - how can we change this and make startups better for young parents as well who for now will just always try to get corporate jobs?
How to Measure Your Career
German people comply to taxation laws, as no one else in Europe does ;)
The assertion is "growing the economy does not benefit the average person; the rich take all the gains". Well, let's think about moving in the opposite direction: "Shrinking the economy does not hurt the average person; the rich will take all the damage".

When I put it that way, the statement seems (at least to me) much less believable. So we have a statement about the shape of the productivity-vs-personal-well-being graph that seems believable if we move one direction, but seems unbelievable if we move the other direction. That makes me much more skeptical of the whole idea.

I think it's more likely to be the case that we aren't recognizing all the ways that productivity is enhancing the average person's well-being.

The phone message error is different though, they mistakenly think '/' is named backslash. I've heard people say this in person multiple times and when I've had a chance I confirmed that when they said "backslash" they were referring to the '/' character.

> It is not for lack of trying that all the top papers in visual question answering end up doing this as a classification task. Results are really poor when it is used as RNN generation

I'd be curious to know if you have a reference for this. Given that the answers are one word, a word-level RNN language model output should basically be the same thing as a straight 1000-way softmax.

You are grateful because he is setting an example for us to follow?
Once you strip away the insults, what's left appears to be:

1) It's unclear what we should sign on a commit, therefore we shouldn't. I'm not sure what to make of that.

2) Since a key may be revoked, any signatures should not go into the commit. Presumably Torvalds thinks that tags should be deletable, but commits should not, or something.

3) That if all commits are signed, then it become automated, and therefore somehow not worthwhile. Meanwhile, automated signing seems awesome because we know that at least the signer had possession of the key.

I can't really extract much more logic out of that post, and none of it sways me in the slightest.
So? Hiring a UI expert to do a trivial amount of user testing is basically all that's required. You don't need to turn something into Windows to make it usable. As long as the basic activities are relatively painless, people have zero problem using an archaic system.

Came back to confirm that I have personal 2nd-party knowledge of your #1 happening all over Colorado. A wealth management friend of mine said she has multiple very wealthy foreign clients that want to diversify in what is seen as a safe investment, and who obviously purchase these properties with cash. Also, the cohort does seem to be disproportionately of Asian decent.
So I think CONAME solves 90% of this. It's set up in such a way that third party verifiers only have to check that the update counter for each key is monotonic. Users can check just that, for the current epoch, the write counter is correct and their key is there. So only a user themselves should see a warning. (and warning cans be disabled by default ... as long as the attacker doesn't know if the user has them on or not, it's an issue)

In contrast, in CONIKS, a user had to check every single epoch. Which was impractical and meant you relied on third party auditors.

This doesn't deal with the restore from backup issue. I think given the FBI apple phone issue though, maybe it's worth reevaluating the risk vs. reword here. Especially if user visible warnings are opt in.

You shouldn't be getting downvoted because it's interesting to hear from someone paying relatively high rent. I'm in a similar situation in that I live somewhere where buying a place is out of reach, but I have too much attachment to the area to go live somewhere cheaper.
To keep said liberal democracy honest?
But your first point is largely the problem I have with these screeds - these are problems with being an employee, not a developer. It's not like developers get less loyalty than other employees.

I agree that development is not easy, as it requires considerable skill to be good (and hence the big paypacket), but the skill required for the job is somewhat orthogonal to working environment.

I dunno. I've worked in retail, phone tech support / general support, as a medical tech, and had a ton of friends in hospitality, and I'd rather deal with the rare error like zer00eyz had than deal with the general public every day. I'm working 12-hour days at the moment due to crunch time, coming home exhausted, and I still would not trade this job for any of the other jobs I've had, judged purely on work environment.
Fine. Then those people don't get access to secure systems or information that needs to be secured. Just don't let them have any kind of job that means they need to work with information that should be secure. Let them have their Windows/Mac machine, and let them work on writing Word docs and Powerpoint about stuff that nobody cares about.
I'll see if the traction control makes a difference next time I have reason to drive either of the cars. Thanks for the input.

> I also have an S2000. It has half the horsepower and weights 1,000lbs less but it's a blast.

50% the horsepower but 74% the weight isn't that bad a trade-off. Less top speed, but likely better cornering, which is probably fun. :)

You will be most productive on whatever OS you use the most. The longer you use it the more accustomed you become to the different hotkeys, menu layouts and commands. Pretty much any OS you use will be customized over time to suit your needs best.
My random advice from the internet:

1. When someone does something differently from the way it "ought" to be done, don't assume that the person is wrong. Doing so is a cop out. Figure out the deeper reasons why it is the right answer in the current situation. Dig deeper. What is the business case? How does the organizational culture play a role?

2. Don't own code. There's no "my feature". There is no "his code". It all belongs to the business, the customer, the team, etc.

3. Within budget and on-time are really useful quality metrics. They keep the lights on at night and the paychecks coming on Friday.

4. <The hardest one> Businesses are run by people and people are imperfect at best and bozos at worst and even bozos can make a lot of money. Facebook was written in PHP. Twitter was a Rails app. The first Google server was built out of legos...really, no shit http://infolab.stanford.edu/pub/voy/museum/pictures/display/...

5. The mark of a professional is doing things that aren't fun because they need to be done. In general, the reason people get paid is because what they get paid to do isn't fun.

6. You are learning. It just doesn't look like what you imagined learning would look like.

7. All of this is normal.

Good luck.
Hasn't Paul already stepped back from day-to-day management so presumably spends more time with their children?

Also, if she blames herself, doesn't that mean she sees herself as having agency to either work or not work, which means that she isn't obliged to do either?
I read Nicole Taylor's "Schooled on Fat - What Teens Tell Us About Gender, Body-image and Obesity" recently and I think it has some themes related to this feeling of helplessness.
Just as the teens surveyed knew junk food was bad but couldn't resist it, we know spending too much time on these distractions is bad but we end up doing it.
Interestingly, peer influence and social acceptability seem to be involved in this too, as it was in her study. We have to get 'social' so we don't appear to be odd and 'not modern'. And the media has been a major actor in strengthening and spreading these beliefs.

When I was abroad for Lucent, they generously "did my taxes for free", leaving out the fact that they took the "first $100k" deduction for the company rather than crediting it to me. Fortunately IRS caught such shenanigans and made them send me a check.
One thing I like about taxis is the meter itself: If you're stuck in a traffic jam you can check the current price and decide if it's worth staying in the taxi or hopping out (after paying).

Is there any technical reason why Uber can't present a meter in the app that you can look at intermittently?
The Leaf doesn't have an alternative source of energy.

Run out of the 80-mile range on the Leaf, and you're stranded. Call up a tow-truck because you're stuck.

The Tesla Model S 280 miles requires a 30-minute stop when you go cross country. In contrast, the Volt has a 400-mile electric generator on top of a 40-mile pure electric battery.

I think you have a miss-calibrated idea of how hard/technical/uncommon/expensive this is. This is the IT equivalent of collecting DNA, not Jason Bourne stuff.

Funnily enough the annual National Technical Investigators Association conference is in Seattle this year.

Tacoma PD has at least one Stingray. Tacoma. That's a few orders of magnitude more expensive and complex than a little usb drive.

Want to see the FinFisher price list? https://wikileaks.org/spyfiles/docs/DREAMLAB_2011_FinFPric_e... I wonder what the "1x Auto-Exec USB Dongle" or "10x Activated FinUSB Dongles" lines refer to? Why wonder, you can read the catalog.

They have identified a number of western LEO's on that customer list, no American ones yet but FinFisher is just one company and there are FinFisher command and control servers in the US.

Anyway, I'm responding just because I am interested in the subject and not because I think a dialogue is going to happen here and that's not the best use of my time.
It is not. It depends on how you want to read it. I can imagine this coming from a man and still make complete sense.
Pretty nice tool BTW. I've bookmarked this link

And yet 95% of all my purchases require a billing address, even if they we'll never ever send me a letter. Even better, some even check if the billing address is correct (they send it along with my CC# to my bank and my bank will decide what to do).
My main point here is that on GitHub, making a pull request is super easy. There's even a cool pop-up if you visit the main page of a repo after pushing to a branch that asks if you'd like to make a pull request.

Saying that this is somehow more complex than updating a single commit and learning a whole new tool doesn't change that if you want to convince me, you at least need to correctly identify what's going wrong.

Perhaps if the author had specifically called out their perceived failings of the very latest GitHub pull request changes I'd have given the article more time. But unfortunately the justification given for switching was really shallow.
Which one do we use then? CR or LF?
If you read paulg's twitter feed, it sounds like he has been spending a lot of time with children since retiring from YC.

There's no need to twist words – I'd interpret Jessica's words as expressing a normal, human, desire to spend time with and get to know her children.

She's been working at a very high level, and likely has seen much less of her children than someone working a regular 9-5 would.
Great point. I think cross-platform developers have had enough special macro code for Windows path handling and parsing ;)
Well... the poster suggesting your vitriol does go by the name "Tranquil".

If you must know, dismissive phrases such as, "people like you", isn't a mature way to strengthen a counter argument.
Nest’s Hub Shutdown Proves You’re Crazy to Buy into the Internet of Things
Tunisia felt legitimate. I was there (for a whole month, before and during). Libya felt pushed. Egypt and everything else felt like foreign influence had more impact than local discontent.
I really wish that we would not conflate a woman's stated desire to spend time with her offspring with general societal criticism. If she wishes to spend time with them and can arrange to do so, good on her.

Criticizing mothers for not spending enough time with the kids while not criticizing fathers is certainly sexist and problematic. But real parental involvement is generally understood to be good for the kids. So, let's not throw the baby out with the bathwater here.
CR LF is the Internet standard, however. TELNET, SMTP, FTP, and most significantly HTTP/1.1 all specify CRLF is to be used as the line terminator (not LF). Many popular implementations will accept a bare LF as well, but messages containing a bare LF are strictly not standards conforming.

Given this is fixed in RFCs, it is unlikely to ever change
So you play the game (proving your talents by finishing) and then start from square one in the companies interview pipeline? I thought the whole point was to solve that problem?
There seems to be a huge conflict of interest here: as card processors slap you with an extra chargeback fee for the fraudulent transactions (in addition to the amount they take back anyway) it's difficult to believe that they would work very hard to help you avoid this.
Unforunately that's not how government (or any large institution) works. That person has enough political capital to hold onto that job, or probably they wouldn't have obtained the job in the first place. Try firing or moving them and you might find that someone powerful, whose good will you need in order to get important things done, will be unhappy with you.
Still no idea how this site works.

Is it meant to be a twitter feed for blog posts?
If the JVM and the Java teams essentially stopped talking to each other, I would definitely consider that to be some form of collective decision making representing an overall shift in focus for the projects. That's more akin to what I remember of the Parrot/P6 split.

That's the story certain people have been telling for quite a while, but it never happened while I was involved in either project. If you look at the use.perl.org archives, you can see that both Allison and I (as the architect of Parrot and a lead developer, respectively) were collaborating closely with Rakudo developers on the weekly P6 design calls.

I understand that, from the outside, there's a natural tendency to take all of the perspectives and comments and assume that the truth lies somewhere in the middle, but the historical record is out there and available. I've certainly referred to it directly when posting my opinions about what happened and when.
Not an example. You can have kids or not have kids. But my girlfriend's uni teacher at University College London said 'I have two kids - I call them the enemies of entrepreneurs'. It should not be like that. Being free means that you can take care of your kid whenever it needs you. Being able to setup your own company structure means you can support everyone's personal lives. In startup situations this is so much easier, since you know them personally.
You are oversimplifying things, PHEVs are not for every one, but to say they are not different from serial hybrids and regular ICE is being dramatically dishonest.

There is a role for plugin hybrids for people who have structured needs. If your commute and daily chores are fixed and do not have much variations and they fit within the AER(all electric range), PHEVs give you the best bang for the buck.

None of us have to defend a Car with excellent track record and is available against a not ready for pre-prod vehicle with evolving specs and likely delivered 3 years from now.

You are missing the point and missing it intentionally.
Not really a problem since a path never starts with a / in a Windows environment.
And how many of those 1B+ Windows users were present at the vote on backslash vs. forward slash?

Honestly, 99.99999999% of people use one or the other because that was what the platform they are on used. Very few people were involved in the back vs. forward slash decision.
Yes, I need more. Is that defined as 260 bytes or 260 characters? The following paragraphs do mention Unicode normalization and storage (USC-2 probably, given Microsoft's penchant for backwards compatibility), but not how that affects the path length.

Are combining characters counted separately for MAX_PATH purposes? Do surrogate pairs count as one or two characters?

This is 2016, we really shouldn't need to be asking these byte-vs-character questions any more :(
No, it's not. Federal tax takes a big chunk and then there's paying in to things like medicare and social security. For example, I work in Los Angeles and make 100k pre-tax. Last year my net just over 65k.
That's really great point, and something I'd love GitHub to put some more time into.

But it's not the argument made by the author :-/
For Wisconsin results – how hard would it be to build a web-scraper?
Last minute idea, but how hard is it to whip up a web-scraper to grab snapshots of various election results in 10 or 15 minute intervals?

Each county appears to have a separate tab, so this is likely way too complex, but figured I'd ask.

*Edit, after clicking around more, it seems a lot are in different formats, some PDF's, some iframes. So, that's not very handy.
Yeah, about the same total distance, but I think there's generally less traffic coming from the north. In any case, he just has to make it to Larkspur, as the ferry takes him directly to work. Needless to say, he's eagerly awaiting the SMART train.

> Unless you can afford a dedicated "commute only with no need to take on long trips" vehicle, I do not understand the appeal of fully electrics aside from status symbols.

Compared to a plug-in hybrid like the Volt, you have: more interior space, less maintenance, cheaper per-mile cost, convenience of not having to stop at gas stations, quieter, safer, etc. Sure, the Volt is a great car, and there are plenty of people I would recommend it to. But EVs are certainly not just "status symbols"; for some people they are legitimately better cars.

Speaking from experience, the Supercharger network really does make road trips a non-issue as well. I'd honestly rather stop at a Supercharger station and get a free charge while I relax and eat lunch for 20 minutes than find a smelly, expensive gas station and stand outside pumping fuel.
Note that signed commits only validate the commit file contents up to the SHA1 of the top level tree, it's not a GPG signature of the entire tree state.

This means that a SHA1 collision on the tree object, or any blob object, still results in a valid GPG signature.

So git GPG doesn't provide any additional security over SHA1; it only provides proof that a certain person signed a SHA1 and the commit message.
Sure, and my friend's Mustang can also go a pretty long distance on gas, as can every other gas-burning car. That's my point — the Volt should not be grouped in with cars like the Model S or the Bolt, because it is not the same thing — heck, that's why Chevy is making the Bolt when they already have the Volt, because they are different. If you like the Volt, that's fine, but you're burning gasoline just like an ICE car if you ever drive more than 40 miles.
Awww, crap. I love medium, I really hoped they won't go with advertising, what a way to decrease the value and quality of the platform.

Member-supported publishing, on the other hand, sounds awesome. That's exactly what I think the modern web needs. A straightforward no-bullshit way to monetize quality content. If it's worth buying - people will buy it. The major obstacle was inconvenience, and medium could solve it.

If only they'd keep it to member-supported publishing, it would be fantastic. They might not have made as much money, but they'd keep their integrity and have gained a lot of good will.

But now, with sponsored content, I'm not so sure I want to stay on the platform.
ISTM if an attacker had the former she wouldn't need the latter? That is she would produce the evil commit and its hash herself, and then sign that hash. I may be misunderstanding something?
