IT is often used to refer to working with technology in a supporting role in an organization. For example, someone who makes sure the files are backed up and the anti-virus is up to date on the desktops of a company is part of the IT department. Someone in a group that develops software, particularly if it is part of a customer facing product or service, is not considered to be in IT.

I think it comes down to the naming convention in common use, as opposed to the literal meaning of the words.

The reason why they are laughing about it is presumably because the person on the phone is referring to the people that fix the printers, when they should be talking about the people that write the software, and that these are different groups.
I've been fascinated by mosque architecture for the last few years - and have been fortunate enough to visit each one photographed in the the article, and others in the Turkey, UAE, Iraq, Tunisia, Morocco, etc.

So far, Iranian mosques take the cake for me - often inside they make their mosaics from mirrors. The effect is startling - the reflections are nothing short of dazzling, you have the feeling to be in an Escher arrangement. The 'best' part, is that in photographs, the effect is totally lost.

Very recently, I traveled across China, and specifically to its muslim regions. What was fascinating was the variety and beauty of their mosques. It's totally crazy to see minarets built in a Chinese temple style.

Airbnb: The Growth Story You Didn't Know

Airbnb Cofounder Was One Of The Worst Spammers In The World, Says His Freshman Roommate

http://www.businessinsider.com/airbnb-co-founders-freshman-r...
I decide consciously what would be right for me.
Those decisions need to be realistic.

Example: I want to do a lot of sport in my spare time, so I can only play a little music and read almost no books. I'm fine with that.

Then I check which emotions come up when doing or not doing something, or when consuming media and information. I think about what those emotions do for me, if they help me on the way I chose to go or not.

Example: Somedays getting up and reading the news or HN makes me a bit miserable, so I close the tab and look at the table doing nothing instead to get back in my good mood.

I try to counter and unlearn emotions which I don't consider useful, and reinforce others. That works best by forming routines.

Those routines need to updated, some more often, some not.

Visual programming is really superset of textual programming. Is basically GUIs vs command lines. These day most people use a GUI such as Windows, Mac OS X or X Windows rather than using DOS or a pure Linux command line. The issue is that current visual languages in general try to force everything into a node based language. It need to be able to describe different data structures in different ways, some maybe as text, some as tables, others as networks.

There is a reason people write books with illustrations, not pure text books, especially for advanced topics.
actually there is a link in the story:

Great, I though that project is frozen. And I am a big fan of ggplot2, often inside IPython Notebooks doing %%R just to use it.

In any case: why "+", not chaining?

- more Pythonic (not important)

- no namespace pollution (important)

- cleaner code

In any case, even ggvis is moving that way. (OK, more in a functional flavour, but effectively the same things as chaining.)

You surely can (and in certain circumstances must) consciously control some parts of your movements, but mostly you are aware of the high level goal and the "main" body part movements, but there's simply no way that you can control or even be aware of most of what your muscles do.

In a situation as the ones you describe, you may be aware of relatively a lot simultaneous movements and perceptions you adjust for, but you're actually doing at least an order of magnitude more movements and adjustments, maybe two.

No, there is an easy fix. Make the "SecurityAgent" process "special" and non-scriptable. Kind of how when Windows is requesting a permission, the whole screen is otherwise grayed out with an overlay. It should run in some sort of permission mode where only direct, physical user input is taken into account (unless the user has previously selected "always allow" for this application).

Indeed the behavior is still there. It's especially annoying when you have to share links to products on Steam/Amazon etc. with someone. There's no way (without extensions) to mouse-select the original link underneath the result title because they're usually long and get truncated. I end up going to the sites themselves and search from within them.

Why do they do this? To somehow extract something from the associates of a Google user? I think it borders on scummy.

You're just repeating the same talking point!

The UK can walk away from the trade deals it has with the EU (and lets' be clear, the UK expressly voted to cancel those treaties, this was not initiated from the EU side) and apparently no-one in the UK will care. But the Germans will cave (and force the rest of the EU to cave) because we buy their cars?

And you don't even expect the EU to exist for much longer, so the economic and political chaos on the continent amongst our biggest trading partners is somehow a good thing? They'll drag the UK down just as surely as the UK is dragging them down currently.

I think the difficulty in comparing is that murder has a clear and defined definition in everyone's minds - person A willfully did something to end the life of person B. I posit the two conditions are universally known (you may need to tease the willful part out of some), the end result is universally accepted to be bad, and the only time victim "has it coming" is in very exceptional cases where the victim is disliked or "provoked it", and even then the murder is still very frowned upon.

Rape is different because across persons within societies, "what rape is" varies, culpability varies, and the end result, having had sex, is considered a good thing by many people. Some people honestly believe forced oral sex isn't rape. Or that one member of a couple can't rape the other. Additionally, many still believe you can "ask" for rape.

As others already noted, rape is a murky case in many times because of how frequently both parties are intoxicated, lack of reliable witnesses, and difficulty in determining culpability of the persons in the case. Add in that you have a public which judges with varying degrees of understanding as to what rape is, and that's why many people argue that it needs to have some special consideration; the societal odds are stacked against the victim, and of course, the non-intended punishments are very serious for the accused.

Juries in general are really a problem for these sorts of cases not only because of the individual biases that they bring, but also because jury duty is a horrible component of the US legal system in general: http://thecriminallawyer.tumblr.com/post/16202923895/interlu... (semi- long comic)

It's really not too suprising why there was a strong push to believe victims - everything about the process is just a mess for them, along with the judgement that does come for victims. To make the entire issue of rape more complex, even non-convictions still damage all parties involved.

The truth is that in a legal sense, rape is understood like any other crime - the problem is that society still has a wildly varied opinion on rape as a crime. Legally, there are a lot of very common sense practicalities which, while being a bit of a wet-blanket on sex, give clear legal and actionable definitions to parts of relationships/intercourse. (e.g., sex is a contract)

I don't thnk it's that the law needs to catch up - society needs to come to a better conclusion on rape.

Well... I think that the 'beeb' was hands down the best machine ever to learn how to program on.

It would be nice to see a re-vamped version of it and the 'pi' has all the bits and pieces. Hopefully this is the prelude to something along those lines that no longer needs a bbc micro as an io front-end. (Though, it would seem that doing that right out of the gate would be simpler than to use the original bbc so probably this is to satisfy an itch.)
Seems unusual to me that those security dialogs are 'scriptable'.
I think asking to be compensated for travel is more acceptable in the US. In the UK if you were to ask for compensation I think the answer would always be a resounding "No". It just seems to be something you generally don't do.

I may be completely wrong though, is there anyone from the UK here who has asked for travel costs to be covered and been successful?
This is clearly not true, as this would require law enforcement to do something illegal, which is impossible, as how can the law break the law? Right, they can't, and never have.

Also, if she didn't want this to happen she a) shouldn't have had her phone in the car b) shouldn't have got in a car with a man who was going to be shot and c) shouldn't have filmed the nice polite officer doing his job. I mean, you wouldn't like it if someone filmed you at work.

Edit: sorry, this was dripping with sarcasm, as the tone here usually shifts to victim blaming as the day wears on.

A general comment, noting related to any specific language.

The mental unpacking to read does improves over time, as you get familiar with frequently occurring patterns. But what I find more interesting is the "write" side of the story, not the "read" side. I have encountered many who think just because the code is short and succinct it must have taken no more than a jiffy to write. It takes mental effort to distill a complex idea to a short idiomatic string.

What you get rewarded with after that exercise is less space for subtle bugs to hide. It is quite difficult to write very short pieces of code with non-obvious or subtle bugs.
> mixing up reddit the platform/company and reddit the commentariat

The sane way to use Reddit is to log in, unsubscribe from everything that's by default, and add only things you are very interested in. Also go into your Settings and turn off all the suggested subreddits (and the outbound click tracking, surely).

Do that, and you can browse your niche technology news and computer game and magical-girl-anime subreddits in peace -- otherwise it's just a losing fight against clickbait popularity contests and flash mobs for justice.

I've been running it (or an equivalent ethernet-over-power from another vendor) for years and streaming HD TV over it with no problems.

RF spewing out of the mains wiring is true, but again I've not had any obvious problems due to this.
(I'm surprised that they're allowed to be used despite this, however)

edit: Streaming TV over it in that I use it to connect between a MythTV front and back-end, and haven't had any connection or bandwidth issues that I've noticed. It's been pretty rock-solid for me :)

Back in the day X10 (very simple protocol, on/off/dim, no security) actually worked very well, with only a small delay. It's really horrible that 15+ years in the future it's all still so awful.

It's really, really hard to beat the user-interface (or security!) of a traditional light switch or dimmer. I'd like to have control without getting up, automate some things, or change the colors, but that all comes at a huge cost.
With like/dislike and flag, you could restrict them from replying or voting on replies which they flagged. Meaning they cannot argue with someone they just flagged, if they want to argue all they can do is "dislike" (which is how dislike SHOULD be used).

One of the common complaints around here are about "anonymous downvoters", since the other user is often left wondering why they were downvoted. Should we enforce this as a rule?
I see! HEPA filters are still a good idea I presume.

Thanks for taking your time to reply. There's a few novel ideas for industries where personnel location is very important especially when an incident occurs (ie construction) which is another viable market. I look forward to seeing what other applications can come from your products.
Also: I can't skate, but I used to be able to juggle almost decently. Sure, learning to juggle involves some degree of conscious learning, but really the cerebellum does almost all the work. You look at someone doing a new trick and understand the understandable part, then you keep trying until you can perform the trick decently, and I ensure you that there is absolutely nothing you can explain afterwards that you couldn't before the training (once you get the understandable part).
I was addressing specifically Kumarski, it was not a generic "you". I was talking about the attitude he discusses. If he has an Uber, Airbnb, Tesla, etc, example, from the city he's living in, he's welcome to share. These companies are all guilty of the "bravado" he calls out. (Which has nothing to do with Theranos.)
Wow. I've only used Android for testing, never for real world use, and what you say almost makes me glad I'm stuck with Windows 10 Mobile (well, or WP8). Or to go with Cyanogenmod as soon as I switch.

(And the less is spoken of the confusion when using a lens with a leaf shutter (where the shutter speed, too, is set by a ring), the better. :-)

> how should streaming companies protect against their content being stolen/ripped/etc without DRM?

They shouldn't because it is useless. DRM can always be circumvented.

> it's in the contract of every streaming service that they have to protect the licensed content to the best of their ability

This is the only reason why DRM exists: Stupid, greedy rights sellers. They don't care why or how people consume the media. They only see licenses and money. "Protecting" licenses equals protecting money for them.

DRM is not bad because I want to "steal" anything. It is bad because proprietary software with the main goal of restricting its users leads to a bad experience. Amazon Prime Video for example is horribly buggy and hard to use. If I could use a decent player, I would pay more money for the service. Both sides would benefit from no DRM, but greedy rights sellers don't have logical thinking in their toolbox.
Not a bad idea, 2 things i noticed:

* On my first try with the simple test session, i got a text about military (which was already odd) but it was also out of sync. I pressed N from Navy and it suggested "y".

* The font is rather hard to read. I guess this shouldnt be a reading exercise.
I think there are two other historical trends at play in the US (and elsewhere).

- A lot of shitty policing, and covering up of crimes by police has always existed, and we're just much more aware of it because everyone now has a video camera in their pockets. It's possible that police brutality had always been this bad, or worse.

- The general fitness and preparedness level of police has likely declined along with the rest of society. A police officer should be confident that they can handle and control a situation physically, but they are more inclined to rely on tasers or guns if they feel like they could get overwhelmed by a situation. In Sam Harris's interview with Jocko Willink he mentions a video[1] of 3 large cops taking over 5 minutes to subdue a half-naked man in socks. It's hard to watch it and believe that the cops had any adequate training or confidence in how to handle a situation without relying on weapons.

Glad to hear improvements to the shell ipython interface, especially up/down arrows on pasted code.

The most interesting part of this for me is that IPython 6 will not support Python 2.

>Projects such as Matplotlib and SymPy plan to drop support in the next few years, while a few projects like Scikit-Bio are already ahead of us, and should be Python 3 only soon.

This was also very surprising for the standard reasons, especially for a library like matplotlib. Glad to find Python moving forward. But what will companies stuck on Python2 do? Will libraries like numpy, matplotlib, and scipy all maintain a Python2 LTS?
