Let me see if I can explain all of this, as someone who has been 9 times since 2004.

There is a huge debate if rich people and their rich people only camps are a good addition to Burning Man. The rule is, your camp can not be closed and if you camp on the main street, Esplanade, you are definitely not a closed camp. Meaning, that anyone can walk in and hangout and you can make new friends or share alcohol and all that. You are suppose to have regular event that welcome outsiders. Esplanade spots are coveted locations and some camps spend years at semi-coveted locations off the Esplanade trying to prove to the Burning Man Org they good enough to be a Esplanade camp.

The problems with rich people camps like White Ocean (The camp that was vandalized) is they tend to be closed, they pay others to cook for them, they did not shop for their food, the camps are full of large RV's, they flew in, they did not build anything and they don't welcome outsiders into their camp. White Ocean pays people to do all their dirty work, include constructing their camp art. Some of the rich people camps are also for profit camps, which is completely against the rules (Not saying White Ocean is).

What makes it worse is there are plenty of stories of people walking by a rich camp while they are having a party and walking in and then bouncers tossing them out. That runs against every thing that Burning Man is and stands for. You can't not have private parties with bouncers and you should not even have bouncers for your camp. There are also a number of stories of people who signed up for work at Burning Man then not getting paid. Which not only is working at Burning Man illegal, so is not paying people who do.

On the flip side of the coin, a lot of the large art projects and major sound camps are sponsored by rich folks since the art project and sound camps can have budgets that are upwards to a million dollars. Ya, no joke. The ugly truth of Burning Man is that it needs rich people but it does not want its culture.

Let me just add, celebrities going to Burning Man is a non-issue. No one gives a fuck who you are off the Playa. No one does. Plus, all of the celebrities wear masks, so you don't even know they are there. You could be standing next to Katy Parry in the coffee line in Center Camp and not even know it.
The only issue I see is that someone like Paris Hilton did nothing to get there. She got her assistant to buy a ticket off Stubhub and then flew in on a private jet or helicopter. She did not setup her camp, buy her food or sit in line. She just showed up and she won't add anything to Burning Man.

Edited: $390 + $80 is still cheap considering you are there for 7 - 9 days and you can't see what you see at Burning Man when you are not at Burning Man.
"The Burning Man Festival" has reached "The People's Front of Judea" phase. Funny stuff, or why we need a World War for people to get real.
> newer browsers will start to break on bootstrap3

Is that a common thing for browsers to break on older, previously compatible CSS?
I strongly tend to think the hard part is community, making a practice. I believe that we could optimize around the kind of practice spoken here- having flyweight objects, with little depth to them, few captured functions- believe is possible and doable. It's a very mixin style architecture, but more about structures than what a lot of focus is- methods.

We are struggling to figuring out the answers to what you are challenging here- finding broad architecture, evident correctness, general maintainability, patterned readability- it's all hard. I tend to think the actual decisions factor in little though, that only at Facebook scale to mixins- particularly data-centric ones, rather than function centric ones- become hard to practice well, intra-organizationally.

And different patterns will have some different balance. But overall I think it's mostly exposure- the good, advantageous patterns need leadership and example for them. Most advantages are portable, but take practice to borrow. Having your flyweight have a length property on it is not going to be a serious barrier to any of these ideas- architecture, correctness, maintainability, reliability.
your side.

I really really like the ideas suggested in this article- use a flyweight context, don't capture functions, don't nest. It's fast, bleedingly fast JS, and many folks could emulate and practice this, and not complicate their lives, and spread a practice that is fast.

> The FBI also has a stash of already created child porn. Any harm resulting from the creation of said porn has already been done, and is therefore not a reason to not use it in order to reduce future harm.

I'd like to play the Devil's Advocate here.

Isn't that application of intent and affect the same as a convicted viewer could use to explain why they didn't hurt anyone? They weren't the person behind the camera, nor the person who had sexual relations with the child, so what harm is their consumption of the content?

The government also has a substantial quantity of already produced narcaotics, opiates, psychadellics, and other Schedule 1 drugs that they've confiscated from suppliers and users. Are they free to sell a portion of those drugs in order to find people they can target for future prosecution? I'm not talking about stings where no actual product is exchanged, but months of supplying communities with illegal drugs.

My IRC client does this, but I find it too jarring when multiple people are talking and they have the same color.

Sometimes it rolls a yahtzee and the three people talking all have the same color and the same length of chars in their name.

I figure that even if the people talking luck out and have a shade of green like in my screenshot, it's still better than if they all fell into the identical green bucket.

Knowingly buying stolen goods is also a crime. And if you're buying a CF racer for a 20, you sure know it's stolen.
Or you could be rich and just, you know, camp out like everyone else. I think part of the problem is that they want to "rough it" like the traditional Burning Man culture without actually having to rough it, and keeping people out, which is anathema to the people who go there for the inclusion and unity.
Heh, IoT.

Making bike thieves watch 30 seconds ads before they can disable the tracker would be vigilantism all right.
I am happy to be proven wrong. That's an interesting constitutional quirk.

Are the police considered the Crown though? I'm struggling to find any real information on that point.

As I was saying in the blog post, doing so would potentially increase chance of discovery, hence sub-optimal from the malware author perspective.

In the case of ransomeware, you'd assume you'd want the encryption to be idempotent. Otherwise how would you be able to offer decryption and thereby profit?
Seems like a microcosm of the gentrification controversy. I'd like to see BM fork, just to see a social experiment play out, as it might be instructive for other issues that are not so conducive to experimentation.

Have a BM2 where the original ethos is more strictly enforced, and see if all the rich people now find BM1 too phony and want to move to BM2 where they can get a more "authentic" experience, then proceed to ruin that with their money for the "artistic class". Or maybe everyone just prefers nicer things. Honestly curious.
Weird, the text is an inch wide. Given that the three inches of whitespace on either side of the text haven't changed width, I guess we know which part of their site Business Insider think is most important.
Just for the sake of discussion, and because I'm curious, I would like to ask about the other side of things. If these companies are more interested in hiring younger people, isn't that giving the potential experience to less experienced / younger folks, giving them a better trajectory for their future?
Marketers have been falling over themselves to get a piece of the 14-24yo market.

Um, hello... the biggest market with the most disposable income (and growing bigger every year) is in the >45 segment.

Companies that don't refocus their efforts on this segment won't survive the next 5-10yrs IMHO.

Most (naive) VMs are defined as Forth-like stack machines as it's hard to reckon ways to map high-level instructions to load/store register semantics, but much easier to think in terms of stack push/pop. In that sense, Forth lives everywhere, it's just not formally acknowledged as such because it's a compilation target, so you only see it when you go debug the VM in terms of its instruction set.

A way to think about Forth is not as a solution, but a strategy: build the smallest abstraction that works, then build a second abstraction that refines things slightly closer to the domain problem, but explicitly compiles to the semantics of the previous one. If you do this several times you can get a very powerful environment quickly. But it takes time to reinvent the world from scratch, and shipping a project still usually leads to taking on dependencies. "Pure" Forth is just a matter of applying the approach directly to the hardware, resulting in a barebones, loose-cannon system that is clearly very powerful, but too dangerous to use out of the box.

Traditional compiler technology, in contrast, exchanges a big set of dependencies(a compiler, a build system, a module system, etc.) for a predefined semantics, type system, error checking, etc. These things are really useful for applications, but such languages can never be quite as direct since they are general-purpose. The Forth approach is still useful always.
don't be surprised if people can't find your project with a name like that.
How to Reduce Your Customer Support Budget Without Affecting Quality
Before we indulge with the specifics, let us direct you to two important statistics:

In the global market, companies have collectively spent a whopping, $ 9 Billion alone on customer support. Source

Despite that, 40% of consumers start buying from rivals thanks to bad customer help:

Compelling statistics, and quite astonishing too. However, you can easily understand one thing with these numbers—money does not guarantee success. Companies know that customer support is critical for any organization, and rightly so. It is important that top quality service is provided in that domain alone by companies if they want to woo and retain people.

But, isn’t it vital that your organization must not overspend on the matter? Yes, the Return on Investment will always be good if you put money for enhancing the consumer experience. Still, a lot depends on putting money in the right place rather than about putting away abundance money frivolously!

>So how exactly would they catch speeders then if they absolutely must not break the speed limit in 1955?"

I'm not arguing that they absolutely can't break the speed limit - only that when they do, they should pay for it. The police should have no greater privilege to break the law than anyone else.

And yes, sometimes that might mean letting speeders off the hook. I don't have a problem with that. It's better to have the police be hamstrung by the law than to allow them to exercise arbitrary power, as long as they're hamstrung in the same way as every other citizen.
Unraveling SummitSync, Overcoming Wrong and Engaging October
We do most of lambda lifting. The part we don't do is to address the observability of function identity:

function foo()
{
function bar() { }
return bar;
}
foo() !== foo() // this must be true

Therefore, we will at a minimum allocate a function object that just says "hey man I'm not like any other function!".

We could avoid the allocation if:

- We proved that no identity operations ever happen. That's hard!

- We used some other UID system to identify different functions. But that would need a GC anyway!
You would see the shelter signs pretty frequently, along with their designed occupancy.

The approach to this in Manhattan in NYC was beyond farcical. Yes there were shelter signs at various buildings. Presumably their basements would be able to hold a few hundred people each. But consider:

1) what would an H-bomb or two do to Manhattan?

2) if alive, how do several million people survive in Manhattan if there is no water supply?

3) even if there is water, for how long will a few cases of moldy food feed them?

4) what about waste and hygiene? That many people will produce a lot of poop. Does it all stay in the basements if the sewage system isn't functional?

5) etc. As I said, the situation couldn't have been more absurd if it was deliberately written to be a farce. Manhattan wasn't the place to be hunkered down during a nuclear war. The movie Escape From New York depicted a Utopia when compared to what reality would have been.

Thankfully we never had to use any of those shelters during a real war.

Yes, the landlord will be mad, but for every one of them there are dozens of happy tenants.

Thanks for the question! Insomnia is an Electron app built with with a mix of React and Elm. As an independent developer wanting to reach all platforms, Electron was basically the only option for me. And, as a web developer, it's been a super productive development environment.

The goal for Insomnia is to build a REST client that's easy to learn and a joy to use. I looked into other REST clients before starting Insomnia and found them to be cluttered and complicated. Paw was my favourite, but I needed something cross-platform so was unable to use it.
Cool! but you have a name collision: https://github.com/izqui/Taylor
The real problem with the FBI's "Innocent Images" program is that too much of the FBI's resources are devoted to it. As of about 5 years ago, the FBI's "cyber security" operation was about 50% "national security" (much of which is trolling for wannabe terrorists), 40% child pornography (much of which is trolling for people who want child porn), and 10% online fraud. The first two are easy; FBI people can sit in their offices in Baltimore and do much of that. It brings up their numbers. Solving online crimes is really hard, involving tracking through multiple countries, and is likely to be unsuccessful.

This is why law enforcement shouldn't be allowed to set their own priorities. The institutional goals and the goals of the taxpayers who pay them don't match.
The last line of the post I commented on: Whatever happened to making a grocery list before you leave?

To which I responded. Again, summary: it's silly to complain about new things being different than the things that came before them, and the only way to make the new stuff great is to make a bunch of new stuff and see what sticks.

Proving that identity isn't needed here is easy: if the function is only used in a first-order way (ie, it's always called) then the identity can't possibly matter. That should work in most cases that matter.

Here are some facts:

-Is whiteocean a plug and play elitist camp - yes absolutely.
-are they inclusive? No they are not.
-Is burning man's mantra radical inclusion? - Yes.

The jist is burning man has a mantra to radical inclusion and even if white ocean is a plug and play camp or elitist they have to be included. So by logic the act is wrong and I say this as someone who despises them.

Tesla does no marketing. They are supply constrained, so there is no need to generate more demand when they can't fulfill the demand they have generated.

however, they are opening up stores and galleries. that is an expense that is typically handled by car dealerships for legacy automakers. i assume that is a big factor driving up their sales expense, and as i stated... I believe the existing stores and galleries will be able to support a lot of model 3 sales.

Pretty interesting & fun story. The article itself was did go a bit over the top beleaguring the heroic super-hero nature of the person, but if you can read around the purple prose & redundant praise there were some cool pieces of info:

- The bike index is an interesting concept, working around the balkanized nature of PD databases.

- The actual narrative was quite funny & interesting.

- How pervasive an issue this is escaped me as a non-biker. I didn't realize how expensive bikes are and how often they get ripped off.
There are two side of that coin - take WW2 for example - some Swiss banks catered to Germany helping expropriate and conceal their loot, while others played a role in safeguarding assets from illegal/immoral expropriation...in a sense you can't have one without the other...
Hah. After I tracked down the seller of my stolen iPhone, I came across an eBay profile that was about as blatant as you can imagine.

No, this fear seems totally unfounded.
Torch already installs quite cleanly into a single folder, ignoring a small number of OS-level dependencies.

I guess the value-add here is that this distribution bundles Intel MKL alongside Torch.

Lots of heavy Torch use is done with the GPU, so I'm not sure how helpful this is for realistic workloads. Still, it's nice to see.

>In the case of ransomeware, you'd assume you'd want the encryption to be idempotent.

Ransomware could just add a magic string into encrypted files, so any subsequent infection can check if the files are already encrypted. Of course that increases discovery chance but it doesn't matter: if the computer was already infected discovery doesn't matter anymore, the ransomware likely revealed itself already; if the computer isn't infected already then you have to read those files anyway to encrypt them.
Sit 100 people down in front of a button that will detonate a nuclear weapon in a major city on the other side of the world (where no one they know lives). Tell them to decide whether to push the button or not.

If you understand human psychology, I hope you understand how there is an excellent chance at least one person would push the button. Possibly 5 would. Possibly more. Simply because the opportunity is presented to them on a silver platter.

Does that mean those people are actively seeking out how to detonate a nuclear weapon? No, of course not. Should we actively seek out people with such "inclinations" and deal with them preemptively?

If you say we should, what happens when your particular mental tic is deemed a danger to society? Who deems what is a danger? Are you so sure you are entirely safe? So were many people in societies of ages past, under Mao, Stalin, Hitler, etc.

Yes! I've been using Insomnia since it was a Chrome extension and the new 3.0 release is an amazing upgrade. I strongly agree with the developer that tools like Postman are quite bloated and complex for normal development tasks. Insomnia is very lightweight and refreshing!

I've used Inbox from Google since it launched and am now playing around with Moo.do.

Inbox sort of plays with the idea of building an organization tool on top of email. It focuses on emails being "done" or "not done", it lets you snooze emails to get to inbox zero, it lets you save links from the web as items in your inbox, and it lets you create reminders in your inbox that look like emails but aren't (streamlining the common action of emailing yourself some quick note).

Moo.do seems to take all of this further. Instead of just snoozing an email or letting it sit in your inbox, you can do several other things with it. You can create an outline and move the email into the outline as an action item, optionally assigning a due date as well. Or you can setup a kanban board like Trello and move the email to different columns. Moo.do will automatically derive an agenda from dates on your outline as well.

Seeing the blu-ray version in all its glory was all the more of a shock since I still remember the show as I first saw it on our 19" B&W TV set on a local low power UHF station. Every episode took place in a snowstorm. Still they were unforgettable (esp. my favorite episode, "The Girl Who Was Death").
