What details did you have in mind? Even if we were to ignore the nature of the state as envisioned by his party, the President's actions clearly demonstrate that he is a proponent of state secrets - a pardon would directly undercut that position. The statist has complete faith in the system (at least in the long run), that is why the whole song and dance about going through the government approved whistleblower program keeps getting mentioned - regardless of the ill-conceived nature of the program or how righteous the leaker's cause is.

If Manning is a volunteer, how wasn't Snowden a volunteer too?

Both signed strict non-disclosure agreements to work for the US government. Both gave up rights.

In one way, Snowden served more voluntarily than Manning did, because Snowden could quit but Manning had to fulfill the enlistment term. Had Manning walked off the job exactly like Snowden did, he could easily have been court-martialed just for that, especially as Manning was working in a war zone.
We all would prefer job #2. But it seems that there are lot more of job #1s out there. That's where the commoditisation happens.

I don't know if this makes me sounds like a hard line right winger (I don't consider myself as such) but doesn't it make way more sense to provide free* programs to train people in skills that are actually needed by the market?

* It doesn't have to be free per se. Low interest student loan could do just fine.

My point is that the solution to poverty is skill acquisition, not charity money. Like that saying, give a man a fish vs teach a man to fish.

It is, in Hong Kong, and massively so. The MTR there had to reduce fares temporarily... to avoid too big a profit.

The real MTR strategy, though, is that they get to choose where stations go. That allows them to buy up land in the area, before they announce a train is going there. The land next to the train station suddenly skyrockets in value... and the MTR make out like bandits.

Sometimes I wonder if keeping the Snowden hero/traitor debate in the media is some kind of psyop to keep us from actually talking about the stuff that he revealed.

Hey, at least I got a close brush with it. :).

Seriously though, my point is that you can make arbitrary thing into a "privilege" by selecting a subgroup of society that doesn't have that thing. You could also turn the table around and say that the not-havers are "privileged" by growing up not having to depend on having that thing. So what's the point of even bringing it up in this context? It's not like not being able to move in with your parents makes you ill-equipped to start a business. Let's reserve talking about "privilege" for big things that block off some desired ways of life on a large scale.
When you had fifteen people jammed into a three bedroom it was no wonder it was higher.
No, Snowden did exactly what Manning did with the data except took the time to read and organize it per several interviews. Despite being able to filter to domestic only, he instead dumped all NSA's secrets (including foreign operations) he had onto foreign journalists. That's risking operators' lives esp if a foreign, intelligence service our human assets target decides to target those media organizations. Given their results on defense contractors and banks, I'd bet on the foreign spooks getting the Snowden files except for where they were airgapped, guarded day & night in person, and only used by long-time vets.

So, operations blown, tactics exposed, and foreigners having our data on foreign operations. Yes, he burned the shit out of U.S. operations on top of his domestic whistleblowing which I applaud. An example of someone who didn't burn us would be Binney who, knowing all kinds of capabilities, just leaked specific programs and data that were unconstitutional and a threat to citizens' rights.
Not particularly more or less than other fields requiring similar creative adaptivity. If you ask a programmer to do commoditized tasks and punch the clock, then yes. If you ask them to engage themselves at their highest level of intensity and give them the environment and schedule to do so, then you get something very different per person, something potentially worthy and unique but hard to grade on the curve. And as we all know, organizations tend to need more of the former.

Disclaimer: This is not my library, this is what I've gleaned from reading the code. I could always be wrong!

It actually can use RegExp's, but they're only being used to locate the language primitive types words (e.g. char, wchar_t, etc..).

Most of the library is actually written as a hand-implemented state machine rather than relying on regular expressions.
If only there were some mechanism in Unix that could be used for transferring data. If only that mechanism could somehow record which processes were using the resources in question! Then child processes could be integrated with that system somehow, such that their exit code (or other matters of interest) could be transferred through this conduit. And when all users of the resource had indicated they were no longer interested, the child process could be discarded - or, if still running, not then become a zombie when it finishes.

The current situation is suboptimal, I claim. But it's true that with no convenient standard abstraction for transferring data, we don't really have any other conceivable option.
I'll shoot you an email too, but I'm building a product. I started it 6 months before quitting, and by the time I put in my resignation I had a good amount of users and steady growth that's only continued since.

At first I did some consulting to help with expenses, but eventually I dropped that work so I could focus better on the product. But I also reveled a bit too much in the initial freedom after quitting, and took way longer to get the product to the next stage (which I'm now at) where I've got good features my users will pay for. So now I actually just accepted a salaried job again, as I only saved up enough for <1 year's expenses (definitely save up more :) ).

Overall I've learned more in these past months about business, product development, software development, managing people and finances than I would've in a lifetime working for someone else -- and that was my real goal. So overall it's been a success, and next time I do this I imagine I'll be much more effective.
This is a Manhattan-centric point of view though. Lines are close in Manhattan, especially downtown where they converge. They're much farther apart in Brooklyn, Queens, and the Bronx. Four track is very useful for running express trains also.
For anyone interested in a lightweight partial solution, the Ch suite of tools (that runs on Windows) from SoftIntegration.com includes many common Unix command line tools. I first got it for the C interpreter, then found the other features, and use some of them.
The problem is continuing to hold both beliefs. You can't have two prime directives. You can't say "never do harm to anyone" and "always defend your children." You have to explicitly prioritize beliefs that have the potential to cause dilemmas.

Anyone that knows about all these resources should really scour them to put together a list of their application to real-world problems. Any researchers that like the stuff should apply them to real-world problems. The reason is that we don't know if such methods are a waste of time or useful until that happens. So, I'm interested in anything you have on that.

You can do this in almost any typed language that lets you consume things. Whether you should is another matter.

One problem is where to put your state-specific type info when you're not using it. When you're a thread and your state information is tied to where control is, this is fine. When you're an object which gets called with events, where do you keep this type-specific info? Something like a variant record with all the possible states?

TLDR; frak transforms collections of strings into regular expressions for matching those strings. It is available as a command line utility and for the browser as a JavaScript library.
Signalling is a huge issue in NYC. The control center actually has no idea where the trains are due to outdated equipment and rely on the block signals to report roughly where the trains are at any given time.

It'll be a huge project to update that and give them GPS-level accuracy on the trains.
This is exactly what Nix does, but not all libraries are currently 'Nixified', and the ones which are aren't consistent.

A source for the fraction of income received by the top 1% dropping in Canada? Statistics Canada, CANSIM table 204-0001. There doesn't seem to be any way to link to an extract of data from their website, but I've taken a screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/dWJJr6J.png
There are a number of page monitoring options available (I use the Distill add-on for Firefox), but I'm unaware of any that check for visual changes at the pixel level via screenshot, so this is an interesting idea.

On the other hand, some might prefer to check only a specific portion of a page for changes in a piece of text, for example, and whole-page change alerts might be too general. Additionally, checking twice daily might not be frequent enough for some. I guess you'll get feedback about this and considering making changes if they're suggested often enough.

There are a few errors in your copy that need fixing:

* We monitor the pages multiples times per day. If anyone [any one] of them changes, we'll know. And so will you.

* You will be instantly notified when a page change [changes].

* Product managers can use Sentinel to check their competitor [competitors'] product and marketing sites, such as the homepage and pricing pages.

* Marketers can be instantly warned when competiting [competing] products update their marketing message, allowing them to react and take appropriate action.

* I was super pissed, I cried for a couple of weeks and I decided to create a [tool?] that did the same things, hopefully better.

SQL is a lot like JavaScript: a lot of people hate working with it, but it's the only practical choice, as you say.

It's interesting to note that transpiling to SQL is even more popular than the recent trend of transpiling to JavaScript. Every major language has a query builder (many of which end up with syntax similar to Andl). We're abstracting away from SQL and have been for a long time.

With that in mind, I wonder whether we need a new query language so desperately. SQL is so highly optimized in the major RDBMS that any new language would probably compile internally to SQL, meaning it has the same semantics (and is essentially sugar) OR it would be way behind SQL in terms of optimization.

Am I just totally off base here?
If there are empty tables, it's fine to sit as long as you like. If there aren't empty tables, it's common courtesy to eat and go.

Undercapitalized? MTA has access to lots and lots of capital. They collect fares on the largest transportation network in the United States, have nearly unlimited bonding ability, and collection of sales taxes from one of the larger metro areas on the planet.

Underinvestment in capital projects has more to do with the ridiculous politics around the MTA. They have expensive labor contracts, duplicative administration and lots of inefficiency.

I ran part of a website on OS X. We needed to generate screen captures of URLs back before lots of tools existed to solve that problem, so we had a Mac Mini generating captures and thumbnails. For a very long time they were all generated, stored locally, and served by Apache. Recently (after I stopped working on the project) serving was migrated to S3, I believe just due to disk space issues.

Is that moral system objectively true or is it a matter of your opinion?
...
Theory of evolution is an idea ...

Given relative morality (That everyone's moral views of the world differ in ways subtle to extreme), I don't think that morality is objectively debatable, since your view of the world is coloured by your system of morality. We can debate whether the theory of evolution is true because we have something other that we can compare against: 'Does this model accurately represent what is happening in the world', etc. Doing that with morality is impossible, it is a concept that is relevant only to humans.

A half-baked example would be: If you kill a billion wildflowers, then that has a measurable effect on the surrounding environment, sure. But at the end of the day there is nothing to say whether the effect that had on the environment is good or bad. It is just an event, it happens, there isn't anything deeper here from an objective point of view. Right and wrong only come into it when you have a preference for a particular outcome. So you view this act as good if you have a preference towards the outcome of a city being built, or you view this as bad if you have a preference towards plant life being left intact. Since we all have different preferences for different outcomes, everybody's systems of morality are inherently different -- even if that difference is not pronounced in most cases.

Wait, so morality for you is a difference of opinions?
Kinda like: 'I like chocolate ice cream, you like vanilla ice cream'.

That is one way you could state it, sure.

Why do you follow that system of morality and not another one?

I follow my system of morality because I have a preference against harming life. What I mean by this (ignoring the recursion, of course), is that I have been exposed to an overwhelming amount of stimuli, situations, and recollections where this opinion is presented as the preferable decision (Say, Star Trek, etc.), compared to the alternatives I have been exposed to.
Think about it this way, many people graduate college with 50k+ in debt, they can't just graduate and live with their parents to "try out ideas". They need to get jobs and pay off loans. They may have kids or wives to support and they can't just take time off for their career growth. Furthermore, a lot of their parents can't afford to house them. Only a select few white suburban kids can safely go live with daddy and have food and everything provided for them while they code up their node.js app for a year. And if that doesn't work out their daddy can get them a job through his connections.

Now obviously living with parents while holding a full time job is sensible.

edit: Another way is to think about this. Who can take the risk to take a few years off to pursue something? The rich white person with connections, no debt, and food/shelter provided for them? Or the poor person with massive debt, poor parents, and a small shared apartment?

I like RDS because I get control over the app-specific things (structure, indexes, etc.) and don't worry as much about general DB issues (backups, slaves, I/O performance, etc.)

That's really only possible if the DBaaS is a "thin wrapper" as you describe.

But, other than that, I think ronreiter is right -- there are DBaaS that have big user bases.
The biggest reason is that Gawker had a court order not to release the tape, and then did anyway.

I disagree. The question is actually a basic question to see if someone understands discrete math. It's a cornerstone formula, IMO.

Now, if it's the only question that you ask, then it's a problem. If it's related to the job, though, then it may be more important than you imagine.

One final note: just because someone might be the right hire in the future doesn't mean that they are the right hire for the present. If the person does not have the needed skills or experience, then they are the wrong hire. In the future, after having acquired the necessary skills and experience, then they may be the perfect person for the job.
