My mother is like this with four-leaf clovers. We can be walking together and having a conversation, and she'll stop mid-stride and pick up a four-leaf clover that any normal person would have had to stop and hunt for. I definitely did not inherit this skill - I can't recall ever having found one.

"Britain's responsibility to protect the independence of these territories"

Would this mean that the independence of "these territories" is dependent on Britain somehow? Quite an independence, heh? And now, Britain, the ultimate power that backs up the laws of the said territories can at the same claim to be absolved of whatever is happening under its protected domains? Astonishing, isn't it?
David House here. Still parsing the past. If people can keep the wolves off my back for a second maybe I can update you guys on some truth.

Edit: While we fight, people are dying.
True, but it's not like building a dual carriageway where it's essentially one road split in two, it's two independent tunnels running mostly in parallel. I'd wager that's more than twice as hard to do.
This to that: Because people have to glue things to other things
I found the same. It is an all-in-ram distribution, so every docker layer is fully loaded into ram (I think there are 3). The core images must be built on something like Ubuntu. Maybe they have trimmed it down more recently. With something like an Alpine base you could probably get to a few hundred MB ram footprint without any loss in functionality. It would be great to see the bare minimum -- something like busybox+runit/dumb-init. Something with < 100MB footprint would be great for those cheap 512MB vps systems.
Man that page loaded fast! It must have been using the new Google AMP javascript framework!!
I would say no. It's everywhere. Even as you mention it's a common dependency or comes bundled with a lot of stuff. I have not sat down and written logic that "does the same thing in more than one browser" in a very long time but I'd venture to guess the part of jquery that is browser javascript api abstraction is still very relevant today.
In addition to the other replies, I want to point out that a major reason for the tunnel's existence isn't just to reduce travel times, but to provide an alternative way for freight to cross the mountains besides using trucks over the roads, which are dangerous and make a lot more pollution. Even if transit times for passengers don't decrease that much, this will be judged a success if it gets a lot of freight trucks off the road.
Really appreciate the note on public transportation. Limited housing gets a lot of the press currently but other infrastructure including public transportation is pretty overwhelmed currently as well. The traffic is already the second worst in the nation [1], and existing major public transportation like bart[2] and caltrain[3] are also overloaded. It also seems like it would be a lot easier to fix as the current system is pretty crazy with most public transportation done at the county level with 20 operators in 9 counties so for most public transportation you can't cross a county line without transfering[4]. I think a lot of people living in the bay would be more open to development if there were actually going to be infrastructure to support it.

Boston has the third lowest car ownership of US cities, with 63%, compared with New York's 44%. But that understates the difference. NYC contains suburban areas and Boston proper doesn't. Manhattan (population 1.6M) has just 23% car ownership, far lower than Boston, population .6M. So while over 200k people live carless in Boston, over 1.2M do in Manhattan alone.

I've stated elsewhere, I don't think it is fair to say that moving into the wilderness is an option. As cheap as land is in some remote areas, it's still beyond the resources of the people for whom it would be an improvement from their current situation.
Or just a community space with rooms that people can set things up in. Libraries kind of fill that role today, but you have to reserve the rooms sometimes a year in advance. I mean more a place where you go, say 'this empty room is going to be used to play games for the next two hours' or 'we're going to set up some punch and cookies here for people to socialize for an hour' or whatever, and you're good. Maybe be able to set things up on a weekly basis or something, so you can have a regular, predictable event people can attend.

I know there's plenty of meetup groups, for example, that have a hard time finding spaces that can host 40 or more people at a time, that doesn't cost like $50 to reserve ahead of time or have to be reserved almost a year in advance. I've been wanting to do a meet and greet for my group for months and haven't been able to find a good space for it.

Chill for Pebble live
Hey guys, today we are excited to introduce Chill for Pebble - a way to ping your friends in a certain context using a special iconic language:

Deadline coming? Send a icon
Sent an urgent email? Ping your coworker with
Successful milestone reached? Ping your peers with

Chill is available for Pebble, AppleWaych, AndroidWear, iOS and Android.

The story started on the previous company where we were the first team in Russia to create Google Glass app which gave us a sense of wearables and what an experience it is to use one.
After talking to a bunch of wearable owners we understood that as the screen sizes change- the way we communicate also has to change. Our solution was- an iconic language what Chill is now.

We had a few successful ProductHunt launched after which we got a ton of emails from Pebble users that wanted this experience on their device. Today we are introducing the Chill for Pebble app!
Happy to get your comments/feedback on the PH page :)

Docker is one of the way to bind infrastructure dependencies with a version of software, which means you can be consistent across nodes, run any version of your software without suffering dependency mismatches, and it ensure dev, qa and prod use the same (version of) dependencies. Finally it makes it easy to always run the latest stable versions of your dependencies.

Docker is one way to manage deployment better REGARDLESS of the quality of your software.

Well, I don't really see Bezos' defense of the decision to buy the Washington Post, because I don't see a critique of the decision.

The presumption here is that there was some kind of implicit criticism, but I don't really see that.

Trump did attack Bezos, but that was not for buying it. (If I recall correctly, it was some convoluted theory about Bezos worrying Trump would increase his tax burden).

Is there a critique that Bezos should have let the Washington Post collapse rather than buy it?

Have there been any reports that he is exerting editorial influence?

> Most pantens are so vaguely worded that any independent solution to a problem can be claimed to infringe on a patent.

No longer true, over the past ~decade, quality of patents issued has dramatically improved. Most patents are actually very narrow. Just look at the sheer quantity that are issuing (in software in particular) - everyone is coming up with something different.

> And even if you don't actually infringe on the patent, you better have a couple of years and a few $100k-$millions to dedicate to the court battle to prove that.

Or before recklessly entering a market, evaluate the landscape. Do you have something new to offer, can you yourself protect your innovations, narrow down your product scope to minimize encroachment on others property, etc...

Think less about building the whole kitchen sink and more on being the best at some tiny improvement (texture of the handles, connectors to the pipe to minimize leakage, etc...). Think writing the perfect 50 LOC that others would want to use rather than building 50k LOC. The less code you ship, the more you've minimized your patent infringement risk (along with proper evaluation of competitors protect at the outset). Additionally, if you've found that 50 LOC that nobody does yet and others want to use, then you've likely also found something valuable to patent yourself. BECOME the innovator rather than sued by the innovator.

Business requires managing risks, patents are but a small factor if properly handled.
Well... that's an extremely arrogant question.

Can a startup change the core of human nature? Can it change thousands of years of Philosophy? Can it change our socio-economic background? Can it change history?

If you can, then... dear Lord... this is Apotheosis.
Of course "not opinionated" in this case is an euphemism and really means that Django doesn't help you at all and so you have to suffer the incomplete and abandoned middleware of others to have something that resembles an asset pipeline. And that's actually odd, because both Rails and Django are frameworks born for building frontends to MySQL databases, which means these frameworks really are about HTTP 1.1 frontend stuff.

For building backends and web APIs, especially web APIs that do constant streaming of data, maybe through WebSocket, there are actually much better options, so this raises the question, why use Django at all?

1% to 3% won't even cover the direct costs of being an intermediary for payments if you e.g. accept credit cards.

Such levels of pricing is not sustainable unless you're burning money to provide the service at a loss while you gain market share and network effects.

I agree that 20% fee seems excessive, but as soon as you're handling other people's money, 1-3% are not reasonable rates, they are unrealistically low, not feasible even for a non-profit that has all volunteer workforce.

It may be feasible to have a very low fee business model if you expect everyone to pay each other directly, but that still means managing all kinds of nonpayment and fraud issues, which takes a lot of time and thus expenses.
Bringing depressed people together doesn't help them. They need attention from non-depressed people, who abandoned them for the freedom of modernity. Solving this problem won't be win-win, so a startup won't help. Just like you can't make a startup to redistribute money from rich people to poor people. It's a task for charity or government.
Heh. Our kid stops talking when he's asleep. Mostly.
From the article you linked:

> Even when all of Silver’s models for a given race turn up wrong, it never seems to be FiveThirtyEight’s fault.

That is not at all a fair summary of 538's position. They always take responsibility when they come up short.

> When the site badly whiffed on last year’s British election, it was the pollsters who erred. (link to: http://fivethirtyeight.com/datalab/what-we-got-wrong-in-our-...)

The article they link to here doesn't shift blame to the pollsters at all. While they note that the polls were wrong, they take full responsibility for their bad predictions:

"It’s our job as forecasters to report predictions with accurate characterizations of uncertainty, and we failed to achieve that in this election. We are not trying to make excuses here; we are trying to understand what went wrong."

It's a little bit annoying seeing some people who are satirizing the media class unapologetically misrepresenting others in the same breath.

I used to repair seismic nodes as part of my job. BGAs had the highest failure rate in high shock and temperature cycling environments by far.

It seems like a really good way to design a device to have to be replaced after 5-10 years...

Well, yes. The former sovereign of Tibet has long wanted to regain control, preferably with full independence, though more recently accepting high-level autonomy.

But we can't always get what we want.

If the Chinese government refuse to restore autonomous rule to the satisfaction of the exiled government, then what is India supposed to do? Granting citizenship seems the most humane of the possible solutions.

If the US government is unable to change the government of Cuba (including the disastrous attempt at the Bay of Pigs and the decades long trade embargo) to the satisfaction of the Cuban exiles in the US, then what is the US supposed to do? Prevent the children of Rafael Díaz-Balart - the exiled majority leader of the Cuban House of Representatives before Castro came to power - from being elected to office in the US?

If there is no peace in Syria, so the goal of returning home cannot be achieved, what then?

Singapore is a oligarchic dictatorship and so corruption is somewhat irrelevant there. You have the most important institutions controlled by the Lee family, who's cult of personality remains unquestioned by those in outside Singapore, I mean did Lee Hsien Loong really deserve to be senior wrangler at Cambridge or is that just PR?

Yes, public sector competence is very high but that's not exactly difficult in an authoritarian and highly educated city state.
I think you missed my point. Firewire was also significantly faster than USB when it was announced and see where we are now. I paid extra for a laptop with Firewire ports and then paid extra for equipment that had firewire ports, they are all now expensive paperweights. I am not falling into that trap again.

Also, out of curiosity, do you believe that this laptop has the horsepower to run your 2 x 4K monitors with reasonable performance? Without the fans spinning at max speed all the time?
That's an interesting license, and very nice of course.

I got a bit confused, my initial reading and interpretation was that the intent is to have the actual font used in charity and relief efforts, I guess in signage. That's probably not what the author meant, though.
Sure, except in this case the Rails defaults are totally at odds with how the larger JS ecosystem has evolved.

CoffeeScript was basically the logical complement to Haml (Ruby-like syntax for HTML) and Sass (Ruby-like syntax for CSS) -- although Sass has since dropped its original syntax and moved on with the CSS-like SCSS.

Since then CS has lost a lot of popularity outside the Rails community. Babel and TypeScript provide similar syntactic niceties based on actual additions to the language (Babel is basically letting you use unfinished future additions to JavaScript before they are actually implement or even published). Sass in many projects has been replaced with libsass used via Node.js bindings. Entire toolchains like Grunt, Gulp, Browserify and Webpack have sprung up around Node.js. Not to mention that universal/isomorphic apps are now a thing and anything nontrivial generally assumes you're using a Node.js backend.

The default Rails stack is precisely that: a Rails stack. Rails is backend software. It has been around long enough to have seen the massive changes the frontend has undergone from being basically "just some assets" to an entire ecosystem of its own right.

The Rails asset pipeline is simply not sufficient for any serious frontend project anymore. This is not Rails' fault. It's just a natural evolution all backend software has observed. Rails is still a good solution for building API servers or even simple frontends. But it's not a complete solution anymore and it can't be.

I just hope they run this as a proper research study. The Millennium Villages weren't set up with controls and so there's very little research value to be gotten from all that effort.

Things to note:

1. Who is in and who is out is fluid. There are no well-defined communities and some people will get into the BI cohort purposefully (i.e. staying with a friend who is in the BI district or claiming to be family).

2. People move ... much more than one would think.

3. People are individuals but really, families are the core unit of society. Don't just measure individual outcomes, measure family outcomes.
As fun as the story of Carl Diggler is, his work is statistically insignificant. The podcast Reply All (which you should be listening to) asked a professor who studies the science of predictions whether the Diggler guys are onto something [1].

They are not. The professor wanted some kind of statistically significant proof that they were any better than Paul, the octopus who successfully predicted an astonishingly high number of soccer matches by random chance [2].

Say what you will about 538, but at least they care about not using anecdotal or imagined evidence. At least they're rigorous with their methodology. They're also actually good at it, unlike most pundits [3].
