I don't see the problem with putting a small license comment in my JS includes. A lot of people only want to run Free Software to the extent possible. Just as it's not unreasonable for restaurants to have offerings for people who are vegans, it's not unreasonable for software developers to offer software for hardcore FOSS types.

If you don't understand or dislike it, you don't have to include license info in your JavaScript, but why disrespect people who care?
ZH may be early and there may be some separation of the wheat from the chaff that one must do, but their general bearish theme resonates as true based on the data.

The BLS numbers are phony. They monkey around with the denominator, so drop-outs from the workforce are not counted. They also count one person losing a good full-time job but gaining multiple part-time jobs as a net positive. Never mind those numbers---all you need to know is that the adult labor force participation rate is at its lowest in about 4 decades.[0] The ratio of average income to home prices is about twice that of the 50s/60s (over 3.3) Also, if unemployment were measured as it was decades earlier, the unemployment number would be much higher. Outside of tech, where tons of money has flowed thanks to the Fed's helicopter money and investors seeking higher returns (as interest rates are ~0), the economy has been doing lousy. Yet all we're told via mainstream sources is that the Fed and Obama saved the day and shutup about it already!

As others have noted, this expansion is long-in-the-tooth, at least by historical standards. Companies' inventories are up, which also signals an economic slowdown in the works. After QE1, QE2, QE3, and bond buying totaling $4 trillion (!) of expansion of the monetary supply, we've had a paltry sub-3% GDP growth (0.5% in the first quarter of this year!). A former Fed board member admitted recently that they "front-loaded" the recovery; indeed, it should be noted that this "recovery" is almost a direct result of the Fed's actions regarding monetary expansion. This also explains the fantastic increase in asset values (classic cars, houses, art, stocks, etc.)

The Fed is a private cartel. It is the third central bank in the history of the U.S., and was created so the banks would no longer be forced to compete with each other. It is not independent of politics (far from it)---for example, Yellen knows she should raise interest rates, but knows that the Democrats will be thrown out of office if she does before 2016 (see the minuscule 25 basis-point increase that caused huge market turmoil late last year), and a Republican would throw her out the day he was sworn in. Even if you don't believe the "conspiracy", the fact of the matter is that central planning is disastrous, and it is especially disastrous when it comes to the price of currency (i.e., interest rates), as that affects everything else in an advanced economy (especially long-term capital investments).

ZH has done a good job keeping us apprised of these developments. They operate under the assumption that the current fiat currently standard cannot survive, and they are right. Of course the timing is virtually impossible, but I (like them) predict a bad recession in the next year or two. Over the longer term, the system will inevitably collapse.

No, at least not for I-405 / I-5 near Seattle.

These roads, due to a complete lack of effective urban planning and development, are several times over capacity.

I like to think that this heuristic would be effective for such cases.

* Aim for a hard speed limit (maybe the actual speed limit).

* Actually obey the law of this state: Keep Right Except to Pass.

* ALWAYS allow merges (from either side) with higher priority.

Edit:

After reading the github link from one of the other posts I want to expand why I disagree and suggest always allowing merges.

It is to allow traffic to leave the freeway (merge right to exit) as well as to enter the freeway (merge left, mostly to enter at all, but also in case they're going a long distance or need to get to special use lanes on the left).
> And over integers too, in the presence of overflows (in junk languages without bignums)

I don't think this is true. Modular addition is commutative and associative. As long as the behavior of overflow is modular (as it is in 2's complement), order shouldn't matter. And if the behavior of overflow is to trap, then it should trap regardless of the order you add the numbers in. I guess if you care about the stack trace you get being the same even under optimizations, then you could argue this isn't a safe optimization. And if the behavior of overflow is undefined, it's undefined whether you reverse the list or not.

Maybe you're thinking of Javascript, which not only doesn't have bignums, but uses floating point even for integers?
If I were you I would just delete this post. If I looked up your name as part of an interview process and found this article I would not touch you with a 10ft pole.
I suspect were not going to agree and that's ok.

Everyone has different priorities and there's no shortage of companies putting a priority on profits/growth over taking the time or risking costs associated with looking out for others within our company or communities. I've avoided discussing Talias case because I think the problem is bigger than that. Even McDonalds shouldn't pay poverty like wages for their area. Even McDonalds can spend the time to find out if they're hiring a person just looking for supplemental income.

Also, maybe the turnover wouldn't be so high if they paid better.

Pretty bad article, but I couldn't find any better. Looks like a solid chunk of the money traces pretty cleanly back to tradeBTC.

I'd really like to find a good tool for exploring the graph of transactions. Most of the funding of the account that lost all the money have a similar pattern where a couple BTC is peeled off at each step and the majority goes forward in the chain till it all pools at 1QgTYzMYqStzZBQx8gguYaJQMjFRbagbh and gets spent. I wonder if thats just what TradeBTC transactions look like.
> How could you know it's an illegal or legal source anyways when clicking on a link?

It's often pretty easy to tell. For instance, whenever I'm thinking of seeing a movie that is currently or soon to be in theaters and Google for reviews, I get a bunch of links to sites purporting to have the movie available for download. It does not take a genius to figure out that these are not legal copies.
I've heard that would be illegal
Freedoms/rights only go in one direction, they slowly erode unless reset and fought for.

People lose sight of why it is important to have privacy for short term reasons, and why the Constitution and Bill of Rights are what they are.

It will eventually come back around to these FBI guys (and politicians), we'll all be burned by it one day. Even the ones taking away rights/freedoms/privacy, they all have something to hide because they like personal privacy, one day they won't have it.
Technically, you wouldn't be asking them to disable AJAX, you would be asking them to make the code free software. Now, if people do this for Gmail or Twitter they will probably get no response or a formulaic response about not opening their code. But how about Wordpress? Or Wikipedia? Or government sites developed with public money in certain countries that require open sourcing public works?

I think opening that tab by default is a bit much, but I can imagine cases where people would report "hey, this site is/should be running open-source/free software, please add a license to your code".

This is not about blocking code execution in your browser, is about not running proprietary code in your browser if you don't want to.
Some people say it was an act of money laundering by the pool that mined it.
Instead of sending the transaction out on the p2p network for any miner to include, you just send it privately to the specific miner you want to mine it. Nobody else knows about it, so they can't include it in their blocks.

The problem (and the reason this really isn't a useful money-laundering method) is that people watch incoming transactions and blocks, and if a block is mined including a transaction that was not seen previously, it's a strong indication that there's collusion going on.

I think the only large platform owning company that has really succeeded with development tools is Microsoft. With Microsoft's newfound interest in cross platform development I'm looking forward to the day when I can just develop entirely in Visual Studio.
Define "smaller company". Because half-a-million a year is not likely to resemble anything you'll get from anywhere outside the companies who are known to pay comparatively very, very high IC and mid-tier management salaries (Google, LinkedIn, Netflix, VMWare, etc.).

I know a lot of people working at a lot of very successful "smaller companies" (for my definition of smaller), and none of them make as much as that. This includes many VP's, SVP's, and the like.

this is why artificial meat would be so important to our civilization - probably the most important thing to happen in the near future. It would finally allow to unblock the idea in human minds that the animals are sentient beings.
I work with a manual QA team who explicitly recruit testers on the autism spectrum. It's a great mission and they've done great work: http://www.businessinsider.com/startup-hires-people-on-autis...
not saying that these people don't exist, I've just never seen a controlled study to investigate whether they really can eat more and not gain weight. anecdotally I know these people as well, I just don't trust anecdotal evidence.
Couple of issues with that:
-Very few developed nations read in Spanish. Donation books in other languages are usually just trashed.
-Getting this huge amounts of books would be indeed crazy.
-So books will stay at owners homes. Because there are books in developing countries. We´re not necessarily looking into getting more. We just want to have them shared so they can all be read 10-20 times, instead of just 1 or 0 times.

Yes, I´ve been evaluating the non-profit way, especially because it could be easier to get donations, but I want it o be sustainable. Seems like everything that gets donation money becomes inefficient.

If I can get the damned TV onto the network at all, then I can use 9fs or any other protocol including http.

plan9 did not invent the network, or even the concept of shared resources. They focused on putting all resources into a filesystem API, entirely and exclusively. That's their innovation. I'm not being obtuse by pointing it out.
Employee count should get some heavy value since the real benefit to society from most companies comes from payouts to the rest of the economy via payroll and stock.

Unless we're enabling larger ecosystems around what they've done that creates even more. So far I'm seeing very little in terms of ecosystem around Musk's companies. On the contrary, he seems more focussed on doing exactly the opposite (like Tesla's focus on going around local car dealers).

One old company I worked at shipped empty boxes to a customer to make the quarter come out right. Shipped the hardware the next week when it was ready.
I agree in general. You want to keep everything as simple as possible. If you have a simple, small service, or don't deploy too frequently, traditional server management will be better
Usually transactions are published on the network and anyone can choose to include them. But a miner can add transactions that no other miner knows about. Usually you don't want to do it because it takes a long and random amount of time for the transaction to go through (you have to wait for that specific miner to win a block). But if you're mining it yourself or in collusion with a specific miner, that's a tradeoff you can make.
This is simply name calling.
Unreadable in mobile safari. Way to go.
I guess people go to the gym for different reasons. Me personally I don't care about losing weight. I want to convert my body fat into muscle. If I don't eat a lot I can lose tons of weight, but I also look and feel weaker. So for me, exercise is very important.
which lead to very useless and annoying conflict and different coding style in same files
What other people see when they look at you is determined almost entirely by your diet. Nobody can see your muscles if they're buried under blubber.

How you feel, on the other hand, is hugely impacted by your physical activities. Not only does exercise give you energy and focus, it has a huge impact on mood. Exercise is more effective at fighting depression than most medications.

There's more to being healthy than being a healthy weight. It's probably better to be active and a little bit overweight than it is to be skinny and inactive.

Note: I said a litle bit overweight, not obese. Health risks add up quickly if you're obese. Being cut and defined like a fitness magazine model is not realistic for most people and confers few benefits beyond aesthetics. Getting out of the obese range is realistic for most people and does confer statistically significant health benefits.
Ja ja, cool, thanks.
Migrating to sbt-android has been a revelation coming from Gradle.

It's bizarre that a one-man-team beats the mighty Google in pretty much everything.

The build is so freaking fast that it runs ProGuard by default – and beats a Gradle build without ProGuard.

That dev implemented and shipped Instant Run way before Google "invented" it, and it's still faster compared to Google's implementation.
I love ray tracing. A small amount of code generates magical looking images. More advanced methods have a really pleasing mix of geometry, probability, data structures/algorithms, and low-level optimization.

"According to my calculation, a single Bitcoin transaction uses roughly enough electricity to power 1.57 American households for a day."

http://motherboard.vice.com/read/bitcoin-is-unsustainable

I find this interesting thinking about Bitcoin as a currency. The first cryptographic currency example that I had read, from a cryptography book, didn't involve active power. I'm really surprised that Bitcoin has been able to gain this much popularity with its design. Does this explain how you might be able to lose a household-sized amount of money in a transaction on this network? I don't know, but I think that the blockchain idea might not be the ideal for digital currencies.

>This convention will only work if everyone follows it.

Just like original FOSS licenses started out then? What's the problem? People who care will start to follow it and if it turns out to be a good idea (like how the original GPL & similar licenses came to being into a mostly proprietary licensed world) people will follow.

I know you're getting down voted, but I agree. In my experience, in both Windows VMs and on OS X, Intellij is just slow.

From the VM side, Eclipse compiled quick, Tomcat restarted great, JUnits flew. To be fair this was pretty straight forward Spring MVC/Services, no web plugins for HTML5 stuff. Intellij for Web Development (Gulp, and AngularJS support) was just terrible. The UI would be unresponsive. It could take multiple seconds for the File menus to pull up. Builds are slow. Hot deploy wasn't much better than in Eclipse.

On OS X, there's a typing lag. I could live with that. My big issue here is that Eclipse gets better battery life. There is a known bug in Intellij that forces OS X to keep the high performance graphics card on. Battery goes from 5 hrs to 2.5. This makes getting out of the house untenable. I use Android Studio because that's the guidance, but I prefer to not use Intellij if I can.

As another non-expert which investigated this, there are two Higgs related things which give mass.

One of them, the Higgs mechanism, gives mass to bosons (force carrier particles) by direct interaction between the Higgs field and the bosons fields.

The other one gives mass to fermions (matter particles). This one is more related to the Dirac equation. There are basically two kinds of all fermions, a left kind and a right kind (chirality), and one electron for example constantly "oscillates" between these kinds. At each such oscillation it emits or absorbs a Higgs bosson.
I just tried this and it's as awesome as you say. I just bought it for two platforms
Ordinarily transactions are broadcasted to the entire network for anyone to process. The miner who first finds a solution will get the fee for that transaction.

I think the idea here is that you instead privately give the transaction to only your favoured miner. He will then try to hash it, and if and when he finishes it, he will broadcast the transaction and the solution to the network at the same time.

Ordinarily there would be no advantage to give your transactions privately to just one miner; if you broadcast it publicly there will be many more miners working on it, so it will commit faster. So unless you are deliberately trying to overpay (like here) it would be a waste of money.

He usually says that we give up freedom in exchange of convenience. For example Facebook is convenient so, who cares about privacy ?
I don't use LibreJS or plan to use it either, but I think his points are valid theoretically, implement them in our society is pretty hard but my point is, these libre tools being "impractical" doesn't invalidate the philosophical idea behind. I'd would call him idealist rather than a paranoid.
> Remember that time when you tried to transfer your life savings from one bank account to another for a small fee, but swapped the fee field with the total transfer amount field, and ended up losing all your life savings? Of course you don't.

Of course I don't. I know banks can have terrible design, but I've never seen a 'fee' field on any transfer form. (maybe because I use credit unions?) That bank might as well tell everyone 'please let us eat even more of your money on top of the bogus fees we already charge you'. And don't real banks have regulations preventing mess ups like these?

Ah, thank you for the correction. I admit I glossed over a few paragraphs, and missed this.
The notice of termination is dated April 28 (yesterday). The Medium post is just 8 hours old and is long enough to take nearly 20 minutes to read.

It's rare to see a burn-the-bridges rant in which the author looks good...and even then, you basically have to be Steve-Yegge-level to come out looking like the better dev (not that Yegge's essays can be considered "rants"), But I can say with certainty that I've never seen a ranting essay delivered within a 24-hour period that was well-thought out or flattering to its author. That is simply too short of a time after a long emotional battle to have the right perspective on things, never mind the emotional health and energy to think things clearly.

My advice is to kill the essay, take a week to simmer down, and reread it after you've calmed down and got back to normal life. Repost it if you feel you need to but hopefully you'll see that many of your complaints are rather minor in the big scheme of things, certainly not worth raising such a wall of bad blood for.
This isn't true for all species, it's (in a way) different depending on species. Your statement assumes that evolution is a constant, time-dependent process; it isn't.

For an example, I point to the horseshoe crab. We're separated by x million years of evolution from the horseshoe crab, because at some point there's a common ancestor. Its ancestor evolved to the horseshoe crab, millions of years ago, and then stopped. Meanwhile, our ancestor continued to evolve into us. The horseshoe crab is a prehistoric animal, a "living fossil". It hasn't evolved significantly in millions of years. This is quite different from mice.

Another example is the coelacanth fish; it was thought to be long-extinct as we have prehistoric fossils of it dating to the dinosaur days. Turns out it's still alive. Another less-extreme example is the shark: it's a little different than its prehistoric ancestors, but not much. I'm sure a biologist could point to a bunch of other species that haven't changed significantly since the days of the dinosaurs.

Mammals like mice have indeed been evolving just as long as we have, but many non-mammalian species have not.
