> Not according to GAAP rules...

Not "rules" but "guidelines". Or quite literally, "principles".

"... stock soars"

The thing is that GAAP vs Non-GAAP is pretty irrelevant unless they regularly change how they do it. If a company reports non-GAAP earnings every quarter with the same methodology, it's effectively the same as reporting GAAP. People on wall street aren't dumb. There is a reason the reaction was positive.

Food for thought, here are GAAP vs non-GAAP reportings for the S&P 500 companies: http://www.auditanalytics.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/1...

OK. What differences do you see between three plates of salami pizza that is not purely a difference in the quality of their ingredients (floor, water, cheese, tomato sauce, salami, etc) and the composition of these?
Thinking about the behavior in the mobile market drives me insane. When the tech is hard to make small, we go for the smallest possible devices. When it's easy to make small we go for the biggest possible devices in the name of screen size. When storage is finally pennies per GB with super small media, we loose removable media slots and accept paying $100 per storage tier and then pay even more to store everything in the cloud. I'm hoping eventually we'll hit a cycle where 4" screens, removable batteries, removable SD and hardware keyboard comes back in style and is available in an unlocked phone that can run Cyanogenmod. If that happens, I'll buy 3 of them with a life time supply of batteries.
If they very strictly only wanted compassion, they shouldn't have wrapped their argument in a political subtext. Saying inflammatory things and then expecting people not to disagree but instead to shower you in compassion is ridiculous.

You had to have dug through thousands of tweets to find it. As I said, fine, they can block me, for in your opinion being logical and analytical, which is very strongly connected to nearly all my views.

That causing me to be blocked from other things that don't even have a direct beef me though is plainly unjustified.
Apparently this requires OpenResty. OpenResty is an app server type platform built on Nginx. This does not appear to work on your standard run-of-the-mill Nginx system package.

OpenResty is a cool project, but it brings a lot of additional infrastructure along with it that you may not want.

It would be nice of this was clearly indicated in the title of this post.

Updated: see comment below, the README has been clarified, you can run this with the nginx_lua extension. You don't necessarily need all of OpenResty.
You are confusing "justified" with "democratic".

Pretty much. Most applicant tracking systems will do a better job with processing an msword document.

Honestly it'll depend on the size of the company you're applying to. I manage the ats for a large NGO. We process 27k applicants a year. We live and breath by the fact the system can process those resumes. A boutique software shop probably doesn't care as much.
That seems like a pretty blatant trademark violation.
Isn't that open source though? Sure you have to pay, but you get access to the source and you can modify it and use your modified version as long as you pay.

Sometimes, you can look at what the index is and find a better thing than page numbers to use; for example, if your collection is ordered/indexed on a timestamp, you can navigate to dates&times instead of page numbers.

Anything, you say. Can I remove it all and shut it down completely?
I'd say it's far from irrelevant.

The fact that it uses whitespace instead of braces is a big plus for people used to that, and generally you write less coffeescript compared to TS or ES. Plus it has things like switch expressions, list comprehensions, chained comparisons, the safe nav operator, and a ton of other little features that either don't show up in TypeScript or ES.

And it's very simple (no configuration needed), and compiles to very readable javascript which means converting to plain JS is very easy (hell, there's even a purpose built tool called decaffeinate which will translate it directly to ES2015)

You might not like the language, I don't really like it all that much anymore either, but it's not irrelevant, and for a small personal project like this it seems like a great choice which is easy to switch away from if needed.

Whoa, for a minute I thought this was a 2010 "Death of the PC" article, because the arguments are at times almost verbatim.

In my opinion, this is not "peak-smartphone" in the way it is "peak-PC". PC growth slowed because people were buying/using Smartphones instead.

Smartphone growth (especially iPhone growth) has slowed because the high penetration rate among those who could afford a smartphone. However, nothing is replacing smartphones at the moment.

Yes, it is: it's the rule of the demos — the mob.

Those are the fundamental aspects of a republic, not of a democracy.

I blame Woodrow Wilson and all his nonsense about making the world safe for democracy. I don't actually care about whether I live in a democracy or not: I want to live in a republic, where the fundamental liberties of even the smallest minorities are secured from even the great howling mob.
Sadly this is all the information I can ever find on what went down. Are there any archives of what he actually said? All the screencaps I saw in articles on his ban are from other people harassing Leslie Jones -- which is obviously bad but obviously not the direct cause for his ban.

Angela Byrne's Power of Hormones: Scam or Legit?
MongoDB Cloud and Backup Are DOWN
Author here. Our current approach is perhaps a bit different, since we're not actually parsing the nginx config file, so we don't have knowledge of the domains at startup. Instead, we're relying on the "allow_domain" Lua function to be defined which provides a way to determine which domains should be allowed. By making this a Lua function, it allows for the logic behind this to be very flexible and dynamic (for example, nginx could handle wildcard requests to any domain, and then you could lookup what domains to allow SSL registration for from another dynamic source you might already have).

But I do like the idea of allowing this to be handled at startup too. Thanks for the idea!
It's open-source, if you rely on it, fork it and fix it yourself.
Which are the users you are referring to? Because all kinds of _actual_ users have shown that a clear majority is in favor of the hard fork:

- ETH holders voted on http://carbonvote.com/ with 87% pro-fork. 5.5% of the total ETH supply participated in the vote.

- ETH miners clearly voted pro-fork on the major pools, e.g. https://dwarfpool.com/eth/voting. In nearly all cases > 80% of the hash power was pro-fork.

- ETH markets reacted positively when there were good pro-fork news, and negatively when there were bad news (such as the DDoS vulnerability in the proposed soft fork). Therefore the market sees more value in the post-HF Ethereum.

Yes, there is a vocal group opposing the fork, but it mostly consists of persons wishing to see Ethereum fail.
Yep - I don't see the draw for new investors now. We know they will rollback contracts that are financially damaging enough, except with ETH there is no legal recourse in the case of disputed transactions. From the outside looking in, it just seems like a generally worse traditional currency.

> Sometimes the if the back door is closed and I'm not distracted by computer or something he "calls" me to open the door. Subjectively, I get this subtle "ping" that feels like "I should open the door for the cat" so I do and he's there waiting.

I've experienced similar things, as I have both small children and a very fat cat that doesn't like to jump over our toddler gate. I've been playing games with headphones on in an entirely separate room and suddenly felt that the cat wanted me to go open the gate. Sure enough, when I got there, he was waiting by the gate.

That said... I don't attribute this to telepathy. Animals get on schedules after a while, and perhaps it's likely that I merely intuited that the cat was very likely to want to go through the gate at that specific time.

It's like that episode of the Office where they put an increasing number of nickels in Dwight's phone handset over a long period, then take them out all at once and he smacks himself in the face with it - we humans often exhibit behaviors that are primarily driven by unconscious stimuli.
>what you can't say about a coup is that it's democratic //

How so? If there's a dictator in power and the majority of the people want to return to a democratic election and the only way to remove the dictator is with a [violent] coup - how is that not democratic? How can the imposition of a democratic system by the majority will of the demos _not_ be democratic?

[I'm not claiming that the situation in Turkey was supported by the majority or not, just trying to drill down on the general point of what [you consider] is democratic].

It's tempting to think you can solve political problems with technology, but ultimately you have to fight those battles the old fashioned way.
This is going to be controversial, but where is the proof that "democracy" is the biggest value to be pursued?

In my opinion democracy is only a tool, not goal. And I think sometimes (Kemalist Turkey is one example) it's better for a society to not implement "pure" democracy in the name of better values like secularism, freedom etc.

UK/Brexit is also a good example of majority of people being stupid and hurting themselves by using democracy.

Consumer apps tend to have a short expected lifetime so technical debt doesn't tend to get to compound to the point of taking more time to maintain than it would have cost to do it properly in the first place.

Kills endangered species, sentient or not, that are strictly protected by law. Like Eubalaena japonica, with a world population estimated between 23 and 40 animals.

Anybody caught just willfully harassing a whale would face a hefty fine or even jail time. To kill entire herds of several species of dolphins and whales is, understandably, a much worst offence. The question to be answered here is: Can the army be allowed to just ignore the current law in peace time, arguing that laws are annoying for them?

The problem was that they were breaking the law for no reason, not if this whales can use facebook or not.
They could also have just licensed DeepMind for this particular purpose, without having to buy the entire company.

Let's be a little more dramatic. Instead of reading into what they didn't say, what if you... asked them and reported on that.
There are 2 main issues with this - latency and software innovation. And they are related.

The first issue is latency. Information can only be transmitted as fast as the speed of light. Thus for a given distance - there is a hard lower limit on latency.

The second issue is software innovation. People are constantly coming up with new ways to use computing power - and often latency is a big deal. Take for example shell vs GUI. If you are just typing commands in a line oriented manner, a dumb terminal works great. If you try to run Excel fully remotely with a round trip every time you edit a cell - you will go crazy.

Another example will be artificial intelligence. A lot of the algorithms are compute intensive. As AI becomes more prevalent and more used by people, an experience that has a lower latency will become an advantage. To achieve this - more computing will need to be done on the device to avoid server round-trip latencies.

If you look at the history of computing, it seems that just about the time when everybody seems assured that centralized servers with dumb terminals will win the day - some new innovation comes that tips the balance towards powerful devices. I suspect it will be this way again.
Errr... No.

"Club" has been used to describe subscription products for as long as I can remember. Columbia House/BMG's mail order CD business were called record clubs, for example. There was (is?) also the Book of the Month Club and plenty of other "X of the month" clubs that probably existed way before the world wide web.

Perhaps "joining a club" sounds more positive/marketable than "subscribing to a mail order service."
The same reason why anybody is using React instead of full site reloads.

Only do a small (api) data request per page, faster page transitions, a more interactive experience.

Just think of the site generator as a static api backend for the the JS frontend.

I'm not sure the chilling effect you speak of is that big: it's personal information that you must not disseminate. I think one can engage in political discussions without revealing anything else than their opinions, which aren't personally identifiable in most cases.
