You can make whatever categories you want. But if your definition of "bug" is in disagreement with the rest of the world, don't tout it as having "zero bugs". Just pick a different word, one that doesn't mislead.
This is probably a stupid question, but are they tax free only if you buy bonds for the state you live in?

The reason I ask is because I can't seem to find any NJ municipal bonds that are providing a 5% yield. They all seem to be around 3%.
Yeah, without some concrete examples it's hard to know exactly what is going on here.

That said, Facebook is certainly not coming out of this smelling like roses. The "Top Stories" mode is horrible, and Facebook tries really really hard to force you into it, especially on mobile. IMHO it is going to be the death of them in the long term. When they're yet another Friendster/MySpace/etc... this is what I'm going to point to.

>How else are Brazil, South Korea, Indonesia etc... able to protect themselves against nuclear states?

The US is a nuclear state, and the only state to have ever used nuclear weapons in warfare. Who's going to defend the world against the threat of American nuclear aggression? Will the world really be safer when only the US has nuclear weapons?

Reducing nuclear proliferation is a noble endeavor, but the United States should not be the one leading the effort towards it as long as it has no intentions of dismantling its own arsenal.

The world would be safer without nuclear weapons, but as long as the US remains an aggressive, nuclear military power that kidnaps, tortures and murders civilians in other countries with impunity, undermines their governments at will, supports terrorist groups and wages war on fabricated evidence, a nuclear-free world will remain impossible.

Testing packages 1 by 1 finds any bugs and the exact package that caused it immediately, but you could just upgrade all of them and see if it fails. If it does a git-bisect could find the exact package that causes it.

I don't really get your complaint. The pipeline from basic research to sellable drug generally takes longer than the 20 year patent lifetime. So it's impossible for drug companies to get reimbursed for the entire drug development pipeline. Rather, at a crude level, the process is split in half: first do the basic research (funded by public money), then build on the basic research and demonstrate a viable drug (incentivized by patent-protected drug sales). The value-added by drug companies is substantial regardless of wether you think some other organization could do it better.

Complaining that drug companies are free-riding on public research is like complaining that the local 7-11 is free-riding on the public safety provided by police officers.
You will indeed have to re-implement stuff Rails gives you. But more importantly, you will have to maintain it.

I maintain a large-ish Sinatra app that should've been done with Rails. Update cycles on the gems are a nightmare. It feels cobbled together. it's a "half baked homegrown version of Rails."

Someday I will just move the logic to a new Rails app and be done with it. It was a terrible idea.

This comment is what I feel like replying with to every article about some "fast iterating" language. IMO the only reason to use rails if you don't actually understand how web development actually works. Why would you pick a slower language and platform like ruby/rails when java/spring is right there available to anyone?
If you are arguing that Western Europeans were powerless to do anything about it, yes, that is an argument in favor of having a sizable military -- but not necessarily an argument in favor of taking action with it.

If you are arguing that they just chose not to do anything, and the US intervention was virtuous -- that does not necessarily show that other US military actions in the past 30 years are similarly valuable.
Regardless of whether that's true, this article is talking about flow control, not routing.

The problem is incorporating third party content that is neither screened nor sanitized.

It is impossible to screen or sanitize third party content if the third party is hosting it and the user loads it when your page refers to it. The third party can change that content at any time, without your knowledge or consent. This is how almost all ad networks work. It is also how almost all CDNs, web font services, image hosting services, etc. work.

I think very few websites allow one person to embed arbitrary scripts that will be shown to another person.

Every single site on the web that hosts jQuery via a CDN does exactly that. This single example alone represents many millions of sites.

I don't need the general reader to have read all my comments - my current comments were pretty clear about the fact that I was criticizing bad arguments and clarifying moral questions.

You pretty explicitly refused to challenge me which is why I assumed you were seeking status rather than intellectual discussion. That's still the belief I hold. If you want to challenge my reasoning or axioms, please do! That's far more interesting.

I also have no idea why you think I'm somehow advocating discrimination or even coming close. Let me reiterate: "I know how I justify my moral positions - my opposition to protectionism (either pro-white or ..." "I'm pretty explicitly stating that I consider racism to be extrinsically bad..."

I suppose the fact that I've engaged in similar philosophical nerdery for years was just great planning - I've been secretly white supremacist for years and was just laying a deep internet cover? Of course if I had that kind of foresight and such strong pro-white feelings, don't you think I would have arranged my life slightly differently?

Consider the possibility that Lutherans don't secretly worship Satan, in spite of having slightly different pro-Jesus arguments than Catholics.

I think you mean images. Nobody is doing that with video.

Streaming video quality might be dynamically adjusted according to client bandwidth, but the topic here is unreasonable page weight and bloat. Streaming media has nothing to do with page weight.

I think I see the point you were trying to make though. Our devices have larger screens and more pixels, so fill every last one of those pixels up to the max with content, and then some. Many marketing and advertising folks would agree with you, while many developers are scratching their heads wondering why they just built a "chicken shit minimalist" website. Beer and a paycheck dissolves the care factor.

Right, and Puerto Rico (which became a territory rather than a protectorate). Most people forget about those. We also established some governance over regions captured during WWII and other conflicts, however temporary they may have been. But most of the "capturing territory" phase ended for the US prior to WWI, after that point control was established via less overt mechanisms (that is, no direct governorship, but we still had the military and economic means to direct them).
Having a certain set of political views does not necessarily imply that one deliberately manipulates or corrupts information to support those views.

Who cares if journalists donate to the Democratic party? Does that mean that they are omitting information or lying? If they are, show evidence of that, not that they donated to a particular party.

Conservative sources like those mentioned in the article have been repeatedly shown to distort the truth or even outright lie when the facts don't fit their agenda. Facebook is right to omit them because they are not reliable sources of information.

The idea that we even need to know if something is "trending" is ridiculous to begin with. How many times has a celebrity been declared dead on Facebook only to find out that it was a hoax? How many times have we been told we have to declare our copyright in a Facebook status or Mark Zuckerburg will personally steal all our photos to reprint for profit? The fact that a bunch of people are sharing something is practically useless in determining whether it is a valuable or true piece of information.
Indeed! Spoken by someone that seems to have experience maintaining many machines.

As secure as the machine is, its security slowly degrades the longer it is out-of-sync with updates (especially security ones) and/or admins administering the machines aren't good enough.

Big proofs. Conceptual categorization is a big part of how we humans comprehend and analyze the world around us, and it relies on a hierarchy of defining attributes, from abstract model to concrete specimen:

Maybe less abstract: if you try to remember where your phone is, do you follow a pattern like "which room", "which coat/pants/desk", then "which pocket/drawer"?

To piggyback on this, one of the things Jonathan Haidt has shown in his work on ideological bias is that liberals are unable to accurately understand the conservative worldview, while both conservative and moderates are able to accurately explain liberal positions.

Here's an explanation of the study:

>One other point that I find really interesting and important about Haidt’s work is his findings on the ability of different groups to empathize across these ideological divides. So in his book (p. 287) Haidt reports on the following experiment: after determining whether someone is liberal or conservative, he then has each person answer the standard battery of questions as if he were the opposite ideology. So, he would ask a liberal to answer the questions as if he were a “typical conservative” and vice-versa. What he finds is quite striking: “The results were clear and consistent. Moderates and conservatives were most accurate in their predictions, whether they were pretending to be liberals or conservatives. Liberals were the least accurate, especially those who describe themselves as ‘very liberal.’ The biggest errors in the whole study came when liberals answered the Care and Fairness questions while pretending to be conservatives.” In other words, moderates and conservatives can understand the liberal worldview and liberals are unable to relate to the conservative worldview, especially when it comes to questions of care and fairness.

Looking for a technical Co-Founder

The product is a simple SaaS solution, which is already (slightly profitable) up and running with really just a few paying customers. I have developed the MVP with a freelancer and lost him on the way, as he changed his focus and went back to a fulltime job.

The service itself is a multi-million $ business in US, with currently only two competitors in Europe. One competitor is massively pumped with VC, but is technically not able to deliver what clients are looking for. The other competitor is only operating in two countries. So there is more than enough space for a third player on that market. ;)

Needed skills:

- Javascript/jQuery/AngularJS & Node.js

- Great communication skills both written and verbal

- experience with tracking / web analytics would be a plus

Don't forget "Sword in Hand" Aurelian. Roman History can be seen as a period of rise, then prolonged decline/decay, punctuated by resurgences helmed by great leaders.

The Roman Empire worked because it was able to harness the self-interest of many parties and the population in general. It is a model of oppression through the exploitation of self interest and class distinction. (A system fluid enough for slaves to work their way up to becoming wealthy citizens.) Amazing how many parallels there are between the US and the Roman Empire.
Yeah, I wasn't really trying to single out maple syrup as an ideal "healthy food". It's just a particularly egregious example of deceptive labeling, inasmuch as most people who think they're buying it are, in reality, buying a 100% synthetic imitation. There are people who will tell you they love maple syrup, unaware that they've never actually even had maple syrup.

A more widely known example is "juice" that is 0% juice.

The same thing occurs with varying degrees of severity for all the food offered at major grocers, including healthier options like loaves of bread (most off-the-shelf breads at Walmart contain large quantities of either sugar or brown sugar) and canned fruits (the "standard" version is usually canned in "heavy syrup", i.e., sugar water).

ICIJ Releases Panama Papers Data
They designed SIP to prevent anyone from modifying the operating system. And they designed the shims to operate in precisely the manner they did. I still don't understand why you think the correct operation of the shims is somehow breaking SIP, because it's not. When using the shims even with a fake developer dir, the operating system files are not modified, and the shims are working precisely as documented.

> A big part of SIP is preventing the end user from typing in their password to give a malicious program access to replace certain binaries installed in the /usr/bin directory (and a few other locations)

And that hasn't changed. The binaries are not being replaced.

> So basically they don't want git, or any other program, to work in a way they didn't intend - i.e. They don't want malware authors installing a riot kit by replacing binaries.

No, they don't want malware authors to modify the operating system. Doing a non-privileged action (i.e. setting the env variable) in order to change the behavior seen when invoking /usr/bin/git really has no relation to SIP at all, that's jut working as intended. Besides, nothing of the behavior you describe has anything to do with root kits either. Someone who can point DEVELOPER_DIR at a malicious directory hasn't gained any privileges by doing so, and has not compromised the operating system in any way.

> In essence, this is what this is doing. The main difference here is that instead of them needing to be root, they just create a directory, create a small script update an environment variable and optionally tweak .bashrc as the user and they have effectively added a wrapper to the XCode utility. With no need to elevate privileges.

And without gaining any privileges. I've already said this multiple times before. The end result of all of this is they have no more privileges than they already needed to set this up in the first place. They've gained literally nothing from doing this.

> I do wonder why they chose to write a program in a compiled language instead of using a shell script.

Probably so they can codesign the binary, since you can't codesign shell scripts.

If no one else is playing by the rules, why should you?

When you're just starting out, you hope you are small enough to fly under the radar. When you are big enough for government to care, you hopefully have enough money and lobbiest to influence (read: by) government officials.

I scuba dive, and I am definitely interested in cave diving. I will tell you that I am not at all doing these things for any adrenaline rush, in fact scuba diving feels like such a slow paced and calm sport that I do not even think of it when I think adrenaline rush. I've also done skydiving. Skydiving I would definitely consider an adrenaline junkie kind of sport though and am happy to admit this.

I no longer skydive. I switched because I find the joy in exploring the underwater, a place that most people never get to see. And exploring caves is something that VERY few people ever see, and that is a truly amazing experience.
Sure now it is Rails 5 - enterprise Rails strikes back!

Yep!

Nothing wrong with yesterday's technology if you're solving yesterday's problems! I don't mean that in a sarcastic or glib way, most of your problems really are yesterday's problems. Or even yesteryear's problems…. now that I think of it, when I depart from rails in a rails project (which is common), it's usually to use raw sql, unix, various networking protocols, or other programming languages that predate rails and ruby.

There was a good book out recently from pragmatic bookshelf called "rails angular postgres and bootstrap". Not saying you should necessarily use this stack (I don't), but the idea that you don't need to do everything in rails to use rails is worth listening to.

Generally, you're going to want to go back in time, to use tools that were designed for even older problems. For instance, why reinvent sql in a new language? If it's convenient to use active record and there's no performance hit, ok, use it, but don't go into contortions to avoid sql.

On a similar note, for those parts of a project where you really should go forward in time and start using tools that haven't withstood the test of time, by all means, go for it. But you aren't obligated to write the other 95% of the project in some new framework.
