If there are emails that were deleted in a .pst file, they are (or at least were back when I was a MS desktop admin 8ish years ago) entirely recoverable by remapping the index at the head of the file (i.e. the messages are "soft-deleted")...should be a piece of cake to recover...
absolutely is. It's not a clumsy making a move. That would be "hey, do you want to go have dinner some time?" Calling someone a milf is not something ANYONE with any respect for women would ever do.

A crucial distinction: almost anybody can do better, not almost everybody.

The "go to school at night, hustle more, get a better job!" rallying cry basically just pits the poor against each other. That can work for an individual, but in an economy structured on X% low-wage work it can't work for everyone. All it does is raise the minimum standard to get the same mediocre work (see: high school and college degrees).

Yeah, any one unemployed person could probably find a job, but that doesn't mean 25% unemployment in Spain is a laziness issue. Similarly, an economy with 10% of workers earning poverty wages can't be changed by telling those people to all get better jobs.

From one of the comments, this needs to be a game / app. It has the feel of Magic Pen or Cut the Rope. My game dev skills are non-existent, but a game with these physics, blocks, magnets and marbles, etc, would be a fun playground. Create these kenetic sculptures and share, or modify them to pass a level.
A similar argument could be made for copyrighting government works: maybe no one would publish them if not granted a monopoly, and maybe getting a kickback would incentivize government employees to create copyrightable works.

... I'm glad it isn't, and am inclined to view government patents in the same way most of us view crown copyright.
Well, that's convenient!
Read the info on the video man, the author refers to it as a 'screen link'. Nobody's trying to fool anyone.
Not sure if they ever did a more detailed statement than what is written on the page. But they say they had to shutdown because too many people were doing illegal things with their service, especially fraud is mentioned.

It is probably a non issue for you tho, i dont know if any other country would blame the provider for what the users do. Germany has rather random internet laws.

I'm glad this is a rule now, but for the opposite reason: If I could smoke at my desk, I'd probably be dead now. What a wonderfully convenient way to satisfy my (former) addiction. Now, where did I put my coffee...
I would love this editor with a heatmap instead of a hard cutoff at 1,000 words. So common words are green, less common ones turn yellow, and rare ones are orange to red. That would be really nice in highlighting parts of a text that are unnecessarily more complicated than the rest.
I'm also curious about using it with Cinnamon. Cinnamon to me brings the best of Gnome 3, without the interface I've come to dislike.
God, Google Docs is really horrible for non-documents. They literally just scroll me way too fast through content when I try to go to the next slide, and worse, they hack my back button so that each slide is a new page, meaning I basically have to open a new tab.

It's also bad for images; for some reason they thought the scroll wheel should zoom in and out instead of scroll, and the only way to scroll is to click and drag. It's like their UI devs are on crack.
It increasingly seems that they knew what they were doing since the beginning when they decided to use the private server rather it being a mistake/oversight. One can just hope this drama gets over before the convention.
The point is, it's hard to maintain a high standard when you have to do it all the time.
Can we come up with a different archetypal bad/clueless user than "grandma"? My son's grandma manned a crew-served grenade launcher and ran radio intercept equipment in the Army and now owns her own database consulting company. The way it's used brings to mind a crooked, old, white haired woman who spent her life in the kitchen. That's increasingly not anyone's grandma. Using the name in this way is both sexist and ageist.
I don't really see a way to try harder than working at the culture at Wal-Mart as a minimum wage employee. Especially in new york city? That person is probably trying hard very hard to avoid homelessness.

Sadly because of partisanship, almost everyone is worried about their "side" so they will do whatever it takes to protect them. Anyone who has security clearance will tell you they would be locked up already if they even did a fraction of what she did.
People in this thread asking about "whats wrong with calling someone a milf" really feed into the tech is sexist stereotype
This is more in line with what I had read as well. A large penis was seen as "barbaric" or "brutish", while the average cosmopolitan man (who would be able to view such statues) desired to be in control of himself. This is all in line with the teachings of Aristotle; which pretty much defined the ideal man in the western world from about 600 BC until more modern philosophers started writing in the 15th and 16th century.
Neat. It's disappointing how TCP congestion control is one of the main limiting factors of modern broadband connections. Even downloading from S3 or something it takes up to a minute before TCP discovers the link bandwidth, when the transfer could have been finished in seconds if it was more aggressive. There doesn't seem to be much practical development in the area either. Is congestion collapse still a concern in today's internet?
Maybe they did and the rest is parallel construction?

They don't have a PST archive, but they still have at least some of his emails. FTA:

Honestly any use of upon sounds old-fashioned. It's generally been replaced by on, except in a few contexts by up. Even Google defines it as "a more formal term for on".
A Poison Most Deadly
I'm surprised no one mentioned the already existing (40 years old!) same project in Paris (called RER). It's full scaled train (even double decker) running underground in Paris and overground outside. The oldest line (A) is the most used line in the world expect Japan (>1 million person/worked day). Auber station was (is?) the biggest underground station in the world and Chatelet-Les Halles is the most used underground station in the world.

Analogously, the FCC auctioning off spectrum to the highest bidder instead of leasing it to the provider who will provide the best or cheapest service using that spectrum. Seems like an effort to ensure that the citizens get gouged.

2. Establish social/tribal register - which can be done in inclusive (welcoming) or exclusive (aggressive) ways.

I think elegant, beautiful English peaked in the 1950s. I have a small collection of books from that period about various topics. They're all written in an effortlessly understated and unaffected English style that seems to have vanished now.

George Orwell's essays have some of the same quality.

At the other extreme, academic arts literature can be particularly bad, because the wilder fringes of (e.g.) critical theory seem to have developed a cargo cult vocabulary that primarily exists for social signalling, not for communication - while, ironically, spending a lot of time discussing social signalling.

When it's so easy to hack together an academic paper generator [1][2] and no one is much the wiser, it's clear that communication is no longer the point.

Typing the commands manually didn't work either, I also tried disabling LID0 (sudo sh -c 'echo LID0 > /proc/acpi/wakeup')

No luck with that too, I verified the command working with

cat /proc/acpi/wakeup

It shows

XHC1	S3	*disabled pci:0000:00:14.0

When I close the lid it suspends, when I open it again I just get a black screen (fans still on, no way to get to another tty)

I also tried suspending via the menu / power button: same results

NASA is an acronym and not a word
Personally i love to use Gnome because it gets out of my way so perfectly. Its like it is only there when i just need it, and this works flawlessly with 2 screens (where most WMs including Metro have annoying issues)

It really comes down to personal preference, i am aware of that. But using a UX style that was invented more than 20 years ago seems a bit strange to me as well. (Cinnamon, Mate, LXDE, XFCE, ...)

I agree that it is a bit bloated. Before i had my current machine i used fluxbox with FBpanel, because Gnome, KDE and unity would lag like mad.
Ask HN: iOS app for adding entries to Google Sheet
I frequently use Google Forms to append entries into Google Sheets, and it works great most of the time. I usually have a bookmark on my home screen to make it easier to access.

But I still need to be online. I couldn't find a "Google Forms" app. One that will launch immediately, and collect data even while offline. In the ideal case, these would sync the next time the app becomes online.

Is there such an app by Google? Are there any third-party apps that can achieve the same? Thanks!

This is really common.

Remember this was Exchange 2003/2007. It sounds like they didn't have an archiving solution, so most users would probably use Outlook rules or manual actions to move data from their 50/100/250MB mailbox to a PST file on their local PC. Once you do that, it's up to the user to retain or not retain email. It's not a criminal act to clean up old files.

The "fishy" part is a twist on this that isn't in the news -- the use of external BlackBerry devices for stuff other than email. I'll bet you that anything of a substantive nature that was communicated with Clinton was done via PIN messages on the Blackberry devices -- data which was never accessible by anyone other than those folks who had a means to capture and decrypt them in transit. The other thing with PIN messaging is that they were device based, so even if you intercept, you need to establish who had physical custody of the device.

Because she didn't commit a crime?

> All criminal laws require a certain level of intent and, in the area of classified document cases, the intent to disclose it to someone not authorized to receive it," says Lowell, who has a long history of defending politicians in ethics cases, and served as chief counsel to the House Democrats during Bill Clinton's impeachment proceedings. "Secretary Clinton's use of an email server was [for correspondence with] her own staff and other officials. It was not [intended to be provided] to the press or to a foreign country or any other entity, so it would be ridiculous [for her to] even be considered charged under these laws.

The emails also weren't classified at the time.
Fire him. Period. He'll do this to someone else who might not report it.

Anyone who calls a woman a milf to her face has NO respect for women, and will cause problems with women at the company in 1000 other small ways (and possibly big ways).

Be that guy that says he's not going to let this shit slide, and then actually follows through.

Of course the woman said she doesn't want to cause trouble... she's trying to cover her own ass to make sure that you're not going to get mad at her (yes, I'm sure it crossed her mind). She reported it to you for a reason. Because it was completely unacceptable.

Fire him. Fire him. Fire him.

And then explain to the rest of the company exactly why he was fired. And that you're not going to tolerate that behavior. You can leave out details of who and why, even white lie if there's only one woman on the team, that it was a friend or something...

If you work in a state without at-will employment, you might need to talk to a lawyer... hopefully your HR team can help you figure out the safe way to do it. But do it. Even if it's not safe. Do it because it's the RIGHT thing to do.
It's not to do with what the other options are though, the issue is that they have been forced to operate in the way they currently are. Commercially speaking the benefits to making the system fairer to creators are clear for YouTube - I am sure they are aware of just how unpopular their current systems are.
I tried, they really don't. Yes they pay vastly higher rates than Upwork (similar to what i get on Upwork, that is), but control you a lot more, because their cut is higher, and their clients are a lot more qualified. Not good for business.
Programs like Nativefier allow you to quite easily (within reach of not-so-technical users) create desktop apps out of web apps. Unless your desktop app provides significant OS or other-app integration or additional features, you may want to reconsider your strategy.
The kind of data that would help us to make decisions.

I would personally be interested in social media and web analytics data. Those are the only 2 I can think of that are open. I know it's out there but something simplified would be nice instead of us having to process and store every single tweet, like, etc.

There are many other types of data that I would love but are either owned by other corporations or are too expensive for a startup.
Depends on which streets you're talking about. I live in a liberal college town in already-high-tax NY. We bitch and moan and cut another slice of artisan cheese from Wegmans before remembering that we live in a town with an educated population, an efficient and responsive local government with effective public services, plenty of parks, and one of the best public high schools in the United States.

The Breakup App
Before searching the internet for the answer a couple years ago, my speculation used to be that artists were afraid to make well endowed statues because some wife or concubine of the emperor might make an unflattering comparison, and it was never a good idea in those days to get an emperor pissed off at you.
Many workers are closely supervised and monitored (I think of the facial recognition being used by WalMart to track all their employees continuously.) I think that both wealth and power should come with responsibilities - and the obligation to be monitored for the good of our society. All Big Data techniques should be used to monitor them closely - to keep track of every person they contact and the nature of their conversations. At the same time, there should be less monitoring of ordinary citizens.

That's the thing. This IS a problem that the employer has now.

Let me paint a hypothetical: Idiot salesmonkey learns that hitting on a colleague doesn't get him in trouble. So he hits on someone else. They have an immediate bad reaction (as you'd expect) and the shite hits the fan. During the ensuing nastiness it comes out that the salesmonkey hit on the employee, who reported it, and that nothing happened. Immediate escalation of nastiness ensues.

Not a lawyer, but I went through an MBA where our legal lecturer had a lot of these sorts of stories to tell.

OP HAS to do something. Do NOT ignore, even if the offended-against employee can handle it and doesn't want to cause a scene.
Bad idea, i want to get my EU passport first. To do so, i must stay in.
Next time a cop pulls you over or cites you for something, why don't you just tell him leave you alone and NOT investigate. Since Hillary Rodham Clinton can do it, why shouldn't it be passed down to every citizen under her.

Once a countries laws become negligible, the country ceases to exist.
You're right, politicians are held to a different standard-- a much more strict one. Clinton had her own private email server set up. I'm sure that many people on this forum can back me up on this one, it's quite legal to set up an SMTP host on your own domain.

The issue is that she was apparently told to use the .gov email address provided to her by her work, and she did this instead.

People have accused her of doing this for various reasons, but personally I don't believe there's evidence to show that she did this for any other reason than wanting to stand out and look special by sending mail from hillary@clintonemail.com, and so that she could use her own BlackBerry.

What do you mean by this?
It sorta seems to make sense that new building would increase supply and lower prices, but it doesn't seem to work that way -- at least in states that are not RTW.

In the case of commercial space you will see that new buildings on the commercial strip get filled up by chain stores that are capitalized by publically traded companies. Small companies can't afford the rent in those buildings.

The countervailing trend to the market theory is the level set theory, which is that once people get the idea something is worth $X, they believe it is worth $X. Add new construction at $X+10 and that makes people's price expectations go up.

What you need is more old buildings, or, practically, rehabiliation and subdivision of old buildings, but then you will hear from people who want you to spend $50,000 to put in an elevator to comply with the ADA, funny that Wal*Mart is always compliant with the ADA isn't it?

He's not 12 (I assume). If he hasn't learned to be respectful to women before now, it's not this guy's job to teach him.
There's a bizarre assumption here.

It's that the very poor can afford to move. That generally costs a few thousand dollars if you're going any significant distance (UHaul, rental down payment, travel time spent unemployed, etc). If they're hiring in Raleigh, do you really think the people in Detroit can put together the capital to go there? We don't subsidize moving (we should), only ongoing poverty in one location.

Similarly: night classes, seeking better jobs without a car, working longer hours. These things all have overhead costs (like tuition, travel, or daycare prices), and the assumption that they're accessible to people with no assets is deeply weird.

The problem is these boxes are designed to manipulate behaviour, not to avoid annoyance.

Unfortunately slamming a SIGN UP NOW!!!!! box in the middle of the page gets more people to sign up than a "Please sign up over here" box at the side.

The problem may be a lack of systems thinking.

If your metrics are sign-ups, then the aggressive pattern wins.

If your metrics are committed sign-ups by users who are genuinely interested and aren't simply going to ignore your emails for the rest of eternity, the picture may be more complicated.

Too many UX people don't seem to think this one through.
The RNC also said they have no text messages or blackberry messages sent to or form Clinton during her time in office lol the state department declined to discuss that, isn't that nice.

"In addition to the emails, the State Department also does not have any text messages or BlackBerry Messenger messages sent to or from Clinton during her time in office, the RNC claimed. The State Department declined to discuss that declaration."
