I'm not really familiar with the changing landscape of philosophy in the 19th century, or how that pertains to political development.

I'm also not saying that regulations are a natural development. I am saying that regulations were the development from the problems. Perhaps in another country, or across the multiverse, there were different reactions.

My point is that the 19th century was not a regulation free paradise and that regulations did not arise in a vacuum. There were substantial externalities associated with the 19th century regulatory environment.

As for today, we can talk overreach and rent seeking and all the other problems with excessive regulations - those are big components of our modern woes.

That's not entirely true. OK, the Brazilian government can block them of being a legal entity in Brazil, but they can't block an international web-service. Unless Brazil is now like China and North Korea and want to control every citizen internet use. This is totally against net-neutrality discussions and ethics I ever read.

It sounds like a problem with your tests actually. Unit test shouldn't take a long time to write and the should only fail for a very specific.
You're thinking like a developer. You see Slack as a realtime chat protocol and think there's already a million solutions.

You need to think about it in a business context. Pre-slack virtually no businesses used realtime group chat.

Developers sometimes used IRC, HipChat, etc. and some corporates used Lync/Skype For Business/Yammer but these were terrible solutions for the majority of businesses.

Slack didn't succeed by taking marketshare from IRC, it succeeded by bring real-time group chat to people who never had it. That was a new market with real questions as to whether there was any demand for real-time chat among the wider business world.
A great deal of evil has been done in the name of pretty much anything good, but that doesn't mean that any of those things is bad.

If you believe that this particular request leads to injustice and misery, feel free to make a case for it. But as far as I can see, this is asking people to think of something in a more useful way.
No, there is absolutely nothing illegal about trashy tabloid "journalism". Only the particular form of privacy invasion was at issue here.
They launched in mid-2008 [0]. By 2011 they had been running a growing business for a couple of years; their Series A was in late 2010, apparently preceding this pitch deck (!).

I was imagining the market size question being posed at the seed stage. (And I suspect that whoever wrote the line I quoted above was thinking along the same lines.) If we could read AirBnB's YC application, would it have a similar estimate? I rather doubt it.

I think the problem is that this amount of money will bankrupt gawker so technically is equal to capital punishment for the company?
Case in point. I've a remodel project last year. The city has a regulation to require home owner to plant tree in front of the house for any permit based remodel work. When asked how to the tree planted, they said asked the state park service to get the permit and ttee requirement. But, but, I can pay a fee to substitute the tree planting. wtf.
I for one, would find a lot of value in a mathematics encyclopedia slanted towards learning instead of mere technical correctness.

Wikipedia's physics articles suffer from the same problem.
Those interest rates would also affect developers who are looking to build. The net effect could be a lower supply that keeps demand constant.
In the general case, you are right. However then it becomes hard to even talk about the game and particularly the difference between finding what amounts to an easter egg, or solving a problem. As puzzles you don't spend a lot of time thinking about them, trying to work out the solution. Either you notice them or you don't. That's why i qualified it with the word "puzzle-wise".

> "Because we know where income inequality leads?"
- income inequality is not the real problem. The real problem is that lower end of the spectrum is too low and has been stagnating for too long. Whether fixing the real problem will lead to lowering income inequality or not is irrelevant. For case studies on "take money from rich and give to poor" visit any of the post-communist countries (I am actually from one).

They could have been held accountable. But the government had to make a choice.

I tend to prefer a simple JSON object that wraps any response...

{ data: any, error: object }

So that only the presence of an error needs to be checked... within the error should always be a friendly message property and optionally a numeric code, that mirrors the response code (404), etc.

{ error: { code:404, message: 'Not found' } }

This tends to work well with error traps in server-side workflows... As to the data/result etc, it can be whatever is needed as a response to the client. For paged results, data/nextToken or something similar are perfectly serviceable imho.

To me an error should be top-level in the response object, as well as meta, and the data itself should be a consistent property and nested as such. Other platforms add their own wrappers which include the headers with the response object. ymmv.
We have yet to see a new SV emerge in another city. The capital from VCs is still here. Unless something drastic changes, SV will remain firmly planted as the world's tech hub.

Is Denton a complete moron to think this was going to be OK. Given the way Gawker ran the court case the evidence is piling up that Denton is not the smartest tool in the shed.
It soon becomes obvious that you cannot always find the solution within the puzzles themselves. Given that fact, it's no spoiler that if the solution isn't contained within the puzzle, maybe you should look to things outside the puzzle (like your environment) for clues. I will agree that saying specifics beyond that might spoil the "aha" moment for some.

Additionally, after playing through the game I felt the same way about it. Particularly the "post (meta?) game" puzzles. Perhaps some enjoyed solving those, but for me it was a tedious exercise that brought little satisfaction to the point that I ended up looking up most of them in walkthroughs.

It would seem that the author of the article is abusing the Big-O notation. When saying some operation is O(f(n)) they probably mean that the operation takes exactly f(n) steps, rather than the usual meaning of asymptotic complexity.
This is useful because it shows how to do many things in vim in easily consumable gifs. The letters are shown with dates because that's when the author posted each one. Probably not for everybody, I think it's kind of neat though!

I think it may be that he got away with it for a decade, and so it became normalized in his head. For the rest of us, Gawker was a lawsuit waiting to happen; for him, it was literally business as usual.
A whole bunch of projects suffer from the issue - even (especially) ones as large as FreeBSD[0]. The issue usually winds up being that some minor contributor - or even just someone who hangs around in the dev channels - harasses some specific woman/trans person/other minority member, and the project has no official framework in which to approach this issue. Often in the project leaders' eyes, the project leader's job is all about code, not community management, leading to a call of "sort it out yourselves" when it's brought up to them - which is essentially a signal that the project will allow its contributors to harass each other without repercussion.

Basically - the sorts of people who women have to get conference organisers to have a quiet word with and/or ban don't stop being assholes on the Internet. If anything, they become worse, and it's easier to hide that behaviour when it winds up being in large part through private messages and communication systems other than the project's official ones.

(If you were associated with a volunteer group irl, and you started harassing your co-volunteers through Facebook and email and text messages, you'd hopefully be kicked out. Various CoC debates show that many people think that if the volunteer group is online, such behaviour should be excused.)

A Code of Conduct isn't magic, but it does provide social proof that the project leaders at least thought of the issues that can affect their contributors, and can provide a yardstick to judge whether a project is likely to at least listen about issues affecting contributors who are members of minorities.

of course vim isn't intuitive. it's extremely hard to learn, cryptic, confusing, and in some cases deliberately obtuse, but is very fast and powerful once you've learned it.

i don't evangelize vim at all. it's a very difficult tool used only by people who need its functionality and have the patience and intelligence to learn it. don't like it? not sold? then don't learn it. use something easier.
I think the loss of civil liberties in Poland are worse than any kind of Brexit in a sense. Though both signal a fucked up populace. Just as submitting to a supernatural being that so far provided 0 bit of its existence.

Eventually things will have to give. Navigating our increasingly global, complex, many-faceted, and all in all stranger world requires firm roots in rationality, of course, only if one wants to really get somewhere not just hide from the hard problems of life.

So far, it seems, we have billions of people very much reluctant to face this reality. Fighting tooth and nail against every kind of revelation, instead butchering reality to make it fit to their worldview.

I have no idea how $55M in economic harm was reached either.

Bollea's net worth, at it's peak, was $25M, and is now estimated at $8M - though most of that has been stripped by divorce, before any of this happened.

I am not sure how someone whose likely career income didn't reach $50M can now, in retirement, state that he suffered $50M in purely economic damages from this (remember, the emotional damage is separate, as is the punitive) - from what? Residuals on old WWF repeats? (Edit: he would still be entitled to these). The occasional celebrity endorsement?

I can't see any realistic justification that his earning power for the rest of his life would total $55M, let alone that $55M only covers the fraction of his income that he _lost_ because of this.

It stinks. About as much as Denton does.
Which is irritating as all hell at times... the .Net http client does this, which makes snagging the actual response text and code difficult... Same wrt .Net for response codes, there's a lot of errors that can happen with the JSON deserializer for services, but it returns a 500 series error not a 400 series. I usually wrap the on error in the app file, and replace those responses for .Net projects.

Worth noting, not sure if this is improved/fixed in .Net Core based services.

As I mentioned in another thread, I'm in favor of the response always being an object at the top level, with a data property for any response data, and an error property for any errors, errors having a "message" property that is the error message string, and a "code" property that matches the numeric http response code.

This also helps if your error classes have these codes in them, that way the http response code can be set based on the error, defaulting to 500.

Nice reflection. I enjoy reading about how open source projects grow. Other than the attraction of solving #monitoringsucks, were there other significant factors that has led to the success of the project?

For that matter do others have links to or stories for other projects?

The border goes through some houses as well, and the country you're in is deemed as which side of the border your front door is on. Apparently there has been a house or two that moved their front door across the border, in order to benefit from lower taxes or somesuch.

Here are a couple games you and your daughter might enjoy:

FEZ - also a puzzle-platformer, featured with Braid and Super Meat Boy in Indie Game: The Movie

Portal/Portal 2 - a first-person platform/puzzler with a sci-fi atmosphere

The Long Dark - a single-player adventure/survival game that takes place in the Canadian wilderness. Not a puzzler, but has a painterly art style like Braid and a sense of discovery exploring new locations.

Terraria/Minecraft - these games are already immensely popular among kids. Mining/crafting adventure games in 2-d and 3-d, respectively. There is a creative component in building forts/bases.

FTL: Faster than Light - a spaceship rogue-like game. Too complex for a young child, but fun gameplay if you're into Star Trek/Battlestar Galactica sci-fi themes.

Kerbal Space Program - THE game to learn rocket science and orbital mechanics [1]. Fun, engaging, and tremendously educational. If you've ever dreamed of orbiting the planet or landing on the moon, this is an incredible game. I recommend starting with Science or Career mode, because Sandbox is just overwhelming with the number of parts available. You will probably need to design the rockets at first, but your child can be involved with launching/staging (just requires pressing space bar at the right time).

Labor is the biggest cost in almost any enterprise and your labor's housing is their biggest expense. But that doesn't mean the farmer actually has to eat that burden. And, geographically, farm areas surely have less population pressure for housing space.
For that matter, I know it's "bad" to use RPC, but imho it's sometimes the cleanest/simplest interface you can make for something on an API.
The data may show a correlation, but it would show the same correlation to everyone, which means that the advantage of investing in Ivy Leaguers/4.0 GPA students is priced out.

Anecdotally, I've seen a lot of excellent academics and skilled corporate bureaucrats from top companies have trouble adjusting to the chaos of startup life, and the demands of the product development cycle, even after they raise a great deal of money. Pedigree and entrepreneurial skills are in some ways orthogonal.

In any case, GPA/Ivy League/resume trophies are a weak substitute for a product that works and appeals to people, which is the main point.
It would pretty great if everything wikileaks put out was available to download. They're actually really great research corpora in theory, but they send them to their website to die.
I think we tend to see extrapolation as a no-no because we're thinking in terms of hundreds of milliseconds. If you know the physics of your system quite well and your interval is small enough and regular enough you can get a significant boost from extrapolation.

> A code of conduct is a signal that juvenile behavior won't be tolerated

Hardly: a code of conduct is juvenile behaviour. It's like when I was a little kid and drafted a huge constitution for my amazing awesome cool club — that was just me.

Adults don't need to write down a code of conduct, because they adhere to an unwritten code of conduct. Children whinge, 'you shouldn't do that, because this says not to!'; adults don't do that, because they know that they oughtn't — and they refrain from associating with others who do. Children want their clique to gang up on the people they don't like; adults simply walk away from those people.

Childhood is all about, 'you can't'; adulthood is all about 'I won't.'
Demos sounds good in theory, but I think you'll find that they adversely decrease sales in the long run. They take effort to put together, and serves only to stop the player from buying.

The reason is that if you are interested enough to try the demo, you'll only be swayed to not buy the game if you're dissatisfied, it obtained enough from the demo that you're no longer interested in the actual game. If you're already going to buy, you won't try the demo. In both cases, it's bad for the developer.
The kingdom of the Netherlands consists of 4 countries: Aruba, Curaçao, St Maarten, and the Netherlands.

In name, they are each other's equal within the kingdom, but there is a 'slight' difference in size.

Also, 3 other islands in the Caribean are part of the Netherlands, the country: Bonaire, St Eustatius and Saba (but, if I have to believe Wikipedia, those 3 are not in the euro zone; the US dollar is legal tender in (part of) the country of the Netherlands)
