That's an unanswerable question, since we cannot compare a control Earth where the U.S. Constitution was adopted in 1783 and an experimental Earth where it was never ratified.

It is axiomatic that the present we now know inevitably followed from the history that preceded it. When you look at the U.S. federal government that now exists, it must have assumed its current form either by design of the Constitution, or contrary to that design. In case of the latter, the Constitution was entirely unable to prevent the government that it established from evolving into a form contrary to its design. Maybe the process was slowed somewhat. We cannot know for certain.

Therefore, if you dislike the current form of US federal government, it is nonsensical to idolize the Constitution, or any other causally-related fact of history. History gave us the present. If you do not like the present, and wish the future to be different, do not repeat the mistakes of the past. Whether history could have given us another present is irrelevant, because it did not.

In the end, whenever a living human fights with a document, the human will emerge victorious, and the document will become confetti. The Constitution is nothing without a living human to be its champion.

I'm a front end / backend / full stack javascript developer. I have good design skills as well.
I don't know about straight quantity. There's definitely a balance.

For example: my roommate and I both write songs in our free time. He goes for quantity (around 6 songs a month), me quality (1-ish song a month).

I'll spend a week just trying to get a transition to a chorus or bridge. His songs often don't even have choruses or bridges.

It would drive me crazy having a bunch of half-baked songs (or stories) that are almost there but are missing the next step. At some point you will have to put the hammer down and think "hey this idea is strong and deserves a strong conclusion/climax/chorus/whatever art form" rather than quickly moving on.

However if you're just starting out, significantly lean quantity as your earliest works aren't likely worth the time.
Why Richard Is the Best Manager on HBO's “Silicon Valley” (by Reid Hoffman)
> Said product is open source, so community takes over.

Hum, that would be true in general. But said product does exactly the same thing Google was found guilty of doing with Dalvik, to the exact same company. Nobody but Oracle can take over such product without drawing a huge target on themselves for Oracle to shoot on.
Actually it's still lagging behind slightly (there's a big of jankyness at some points, e.g. when moving classes). But it'll get there.
No they don't! There's no reason Spotify can't pull their app, run an ad campaign, put pressure on Apple, negotiate a better deal, any number of other things. If Spotify thinks they can claw back part of the 30% apple tax, more power to them.
>>So you end up producing mediocrity and leaning towards luck.

You are going to need luck regardless of the quality. Merit is how we expect the world to be, not what it actually is!

The author's point is increasing your chances of success by trying more. Which, if you are unlucky a lot, actually makes sense.
I know it's currently thought as so, but functional programming is not the be-all, end-all paradigm. If you've been around for a while, you'd have seen the ebb and flow a few times already.
I'm merely commenting on the Greenpeace fears. They write that the GMO crops are untested and have the potential cross-pollinate with non-GMO crops in an irreversible way, thereby permanently changing the local non-GMO ecosystem.
Does Apple have an equivalent of Discovery Weekly yet? That's become one of my favorite Spotify features.
>It's easy to fix by establishing metrics, and any budget could easily be covered by adding fees to tickets.

It's actually a really hard problem. You have to balance dollars, demand and shifts. Demand varies based on flights departing from different terminals. You can't schedule people to come in for two hours, and reassigning staff introduces wastage as they redeploy from one place to another.

That said, TSA manages it poorly, but the root issue is not enough money for the task at hand.

Hello jesse, it is one hell of an inspiring work!

I read from your blog that you are self-taught programmer. Would you mind sharing something about yourself? In particular, I'm interested in area like what do you do for your day job? Is it programming related? What resources did you come across that you find particularly useful in making lily? Anything would be appreciated!
But you have sane definition of safety. Which is "relatively safe". If a definition for safety (which media, powers that be and majority of population are using) is "no one ever dying for terrorism" - then we cannot be safe.
Sorry, when I wrote my comment, I could not find any information from your website about the pricing of Semaphor and what the tiers provide (it just says "plans starting from $6"). The article didn't really explain the plans and what they provide either.

It seems like the personal plan pricing is high, considering that "personal" use as such may not be high volume or high storage in general for such an application. But that's just a thought without any information, and as such, not useful. It may be easier to judge it after knowing what it provides in every tier.

My comment on pricing was based on the pricing model you have for the backup service, which is highly nonlinear with a very high jump between tiers to push people to buy into a larger one. The plans at 30GB and 1TB remind me of Dreamhost and oversold plans (not that it's wrong business wise, but it doesn't seem fair from the customer's point of view).
"rewritten the majority of its source code with web standards and interoperability with other modern browsers in mind"

I think coldtea is focusing on highlighted part. A rewrite like that might change so many behavioral aspects, esp user- or developer-visible, that it can be considered a new engine rather than mere clean-up of behaviorally-identical old one. I certainly reuses some code and techniques but differences might be major.

It's not much different to businesses that make products which are sold at big box stores like WalMart or Home Depot, which have the final say on which products they want to sell in their own stores.

One difference here is that by following the rules, anyone could have their product sold in the Apple Store. Meanwhile Target or WalMart would only offer mens socks from a very small number of different suppliers.

Unfortunately we're just getting the author's personal assessment of the interviewee, with very little content for the reader to base their own thoughts on.

I'm not a believer in some impossible Platonic ideal of journalism where the author can avoid shaping the readers perception to be like theirs. This just feels bogged down with his interpretations.

It would have been interesting to see an interview conducted by someone with more than a passing connection to the "security community." Maass lacks some of the cultural touchstones and perspectives that would be useful in understanding who this person is. You can see most when he has to reach beyond ideas you see in security and towards mass-media and wider-cultural zeitgeist topics not just to explain things to the reader, but to explain them to himself.

I did not have a good experience with boost::variant ... Compile times increased drastically, compiler error messages became enormous and garbled with templates, syntax was onerous in places (e.g. "make_recursive_variant"), and identification of types is based on arbitrary index value that is risky to rely on (which() method). I ended up refactoring the whole thing, removing boost::variant and just using the traditional visitor pattern. The only advantage boost::variant really has over traditional C++ visitor pattern is that boost static_visitor functions can have a non-void return type ... Being able to directly return a value in the visitor functions is admittedly very convenient, but the other issues negate this convenience.

Authorea is building GitHub + Google Docs for researchers. We were spun out of CERN by a group of astrophysicists who were frustrated with the cumbersome process of collaborating on scientific research. Our team is very small, but our tool is already being used at all 100 of the top 100 (Leiden Ranking) research universities. We also just raised a substantial seed round with brand-name VCs.

All positions require a passion for startups and for Open Science! More info at: https://www.authorea.com/jobs

Positions (Abridged):

* WEB DESIGNER We’re looking for someone to help shape the look and feel of our product, i.e., make us look good. Really good. Great taste, great design skills, and an eye for web graphic design. Someone who can tell a story through design. Proven web design skills, knowledge of CSS and JS, and experience designing and building interfaces informed by user testing.

* UX/UI ENGINEER - Authorea has a robust backend but it did not receive all the love it deserves on the front end. We're looking for an engineer with strong design skills. Someone who will be able to understand the nitty gritty details of the Rails back end but who will spend most of their time on the Javascript/CSS front end. In particular, we are looking for someone who will study and understand Authorea users and improve the platform's user onboarding, experience, interfaces and interaction.

* GROWTH ENGINEER - Authorea is looking for a software engineer who can design, test, and implement customer acquisition and retention strategies. The role requires substantial technical expertise to implement innovative search marketing, search engine optimization, notification, and web analytics frameworks. This person would implement Authorea’s acquisition and retention programs. This position therefore requires familiarity with business and marketing objectives as well as experience building scalable acquisition and retention systems.

I worked at a tech startup in downtown Philly for three years. While I have been looking for work, I have also spent time on several side projects. My biggest one is http://new.amecy.com/ , a site for turn-based board games. I am also working on some software that I intend to sell one day. Now and then, I revisit problems that I worked on in grad school.

I have not used it for production code, I just toy with the language.

I work in a 15 engineers Android team with a very conservative lead, even as a senior engineer, there is no way to introduce Kotlin.

The tooling is pretty great, Jetbrains knows how to develop an IDE and it shows.

Compile time is a bit slower.

The language is way better than Java 8 IMO. It aims at solving all the weaknesses of the language and does a good job at that.
This isn't a trend, they've collected such data since 2012.
The App Store is not a Wal-Mart. Wal-Mart doesn't let people use its store to give stuff away for free, for example, while Apple has no problem with free apps that never require payment for anything. Wal-Mart also isn't the sole source for products which work with another kind of product, they're just a store, little different from other big stores. The App Store is the sole source for software that runs on iPhones, and it exists mainly to drive iPhone sales, the revenue from the App Store itself is insignificant.

I'm reading "Letters From a Self-made Merchant to his Son"[0] and this particular passage stuck out at me (keep in mind the author/merchant was very rich for his time and ran the business):

> I hear a good deal about men who won’t take vacations, and who kill themselves by overwork, but it’s usually worry or whiskey. It’s not what a man does during working-hours, but after them, that breaks down his health. A fellow and his business should be bosom friends in the office and sworn enemies out of it. A clear mind is one that is swept clean of business at six o’clock every night and isn’t opened up for it again until after the shutters are taken down next morning.

Nava | Washington DC & San Francisco SF | Full-stack Developers, DevOps Engineers, Software Engineers, Frontend Engineers, Designers| On-site - Full-time | $100k-$160k + equity

We're a small team (18 people!) of engineers, designers, and product builders that were brought in to help fix HealthCare.gov in the winter of 2013. Since then, we've been working with the government to improve the services HealthCare.gov provides. Our revamped Healthcare.gov application is used by millions, converts 35% better, and halves the completion time.

It turns out there’s a lot more to fix, and it’s surprising how much can be done by a small group of empathetic people with a Silicon Valley mindset, deep technical experience, working closely with dedicated civil servants in government.

We’ve started Nava as a public benefit corporation to radically improve how our government serves its people, and we believe that the services our government provides should be clear and reliable. If you feel the same way, we'd love to hear from you at jobs@navahq.com

I don't disagree. But it seems to me that if you're trying to generate revenue quickly, you ticket the people who are most likely to pay quickly.

Why would they write more tickets on a population that doesn't respond to them (context: according to TFA some already have fines for "missed court dates" etc)?

If you want to generate revenue, wouldn't you go hard on writing tickets in a middle-class neighborhood, where the population makes enough money to pay the fines but not enough to have the time/resources to fight?
You could argue that, but you wouldn't win, despite that being a logical next step to this ruling. Judges and legislators today seem to arrive at their preferred judgment first, then work backwards to see what kinds of precedents or reasoning they could massage to justify their rulings. If you're looking for consistency and logic in the US justice system you're going to be disappointed.

Author might want to check with the GnuPG developers again:

He writes: If you’re using 64-bit Windows, don’t try to install GPG directly from the GPG website . It’s not supported. Gpg4win works just fine.

The page he sites: https://www.gnupg.org/download/supported_systems.html says:

NB: The information in this page is heavily outdated. GnuPG works very well on almost all 32 and 64 bit platforms.
The unfortunate part is that because of iOS's restrictions, it's also a bit like, "if you coincidentally buy your frozen pizzas from Wal-Mart, we're not allowed to sell you our product anywhere but Wal-Mart". Spotify doesn't want to pay for use of the store because they have no need for the store.

That analogy is a bit tortured, but you get what I mean. Spotify, Netflix, Amazon, and other extremely popular services don't need that "we'll get you in front of customers" service that Apple touts as a reason why the 30% cut makes sense. And if you're a relatively unknown developer, you do get value from the App Store that you pay for with that 30% cut. However, I'd rather have Netflix than an iPhone. I'd have Netflix with or without an iPhone. Apple provides negligible value to Netflix or Spotify, in that while there are millions of customers of those companies using Apple devices, if Apple went away tomorrow, those customers would just buy a different phone and continue to subscribe to Netflix or Spotify.

I don't think there's anything necessarily anti-competitive to the level of thinking its legally actionable, but I certainly do find it a bit distasteful. The Kindle app is just better on my Android devices than it is on my iPad. It's a better user experience because there's no one putting arbitrary inconveniences in my way. And I dislike giving money to useless middle-men. I'm happy to pay Apple for the iPad -- they made a thing that I enjoy. I'm happy to pay Amazon for the incredible store and ebook infrastructure they've set up. I might like more of the money to go to the author, but at least Amazon is providing me some value in the transaction. Apple provides me nothing of value in that ebook transaction. They're just a leech.
Now that .NET Core runs on Linux, there is an alternative at least.

Stirling engines are used in some niche applications. In particular, several Swedish and Japanese submarines are powered by Stirling engines running on diesel and liquid oxygen. The ability to run on a separate oxygen supply from breathing air is apparently a main advantage.

NASA and DOE did some tests with Stirling powered cars in the 70's and 80's. They got up to 50 MPG. In the end, retooling, cheaper fuel and different UX when driving was the negatives that prevented mainstream adoption.
The judge conveniently disregards the difference between passive observation and active intrusion. Breaking into someone's computer is no different than if the officer had broken the blinds themself, which clearly would not meet the test described by Justice Breyer.
