> “The people with money buy a Tesla,” he said.

The Prius looks like an old-man's car to me. Teslas have all the bells-and-whistles and don't look half bad. Much easier to peacock in a Model S than _any_ of the Prii.
Plenty of rankings of universities are done based on research output, based on upon where publications are, often based on rankings that are rarely updated of journals and conferences.
And that's why copyright should lapse and die when the registered copyright owner can't offer the Library of Congress a copy of the work, for archival and eventual entry into the public domain.
Granted, though compare the aggressive campaigns of the past 30 years in the US to make smoking cigarettes uncool. A couple of generations ago, it was just a commonplace that people (mostly men) smoked, and certainly cool ones (say, in films) did. What we need now is a similar campaign to uncool huge, inefficient vehicles, and redirect the next generation of car-culture into efficiency in general, and electricity specifically (though adding a few more turbochargers in the meantime is a good start, and does sound cool).
Hajj is quite regular on the list every 4 years or something around it.
A simple example would be adding a feature that collects user information before you update the EULA to tell people that you're collecting their information.

The EULA will likely need to go through multiple iterations between local and partner lawyers before the language is agreed upon - so expediting is not always an option.
You have a day's worth of unsaved work?

You know that's an interesting thought. That its not the quality of the education, but the quality of the student. Similar to how prestigious schools do better just because they filter for better students.
> which is not the true reason

Wait, how do you know this isn't true? Maybe your product had so much friction that they just didn't have the time to learn it, get on boarded, etc. Seems weird to dismiss approx 90% of feedback you're getting from users as being lies.

True, but the Prius is the greatest ANTI-Peacock vehicle ever! To police, it is invisible. I have never been given a second glance by a police officer even when I am clearly speeding. Cops just seem to tune them out as granny cars.

1. I think that SF/SV's status as a "tech capital" is not fragile. Even if a dramatic push or pull happened it would be a slow drain. The dot-com crash was a quick flush, but that was predicated on the market realizing a majority of companies being revenue-negative wasn't sustainable. Google, Apple, Microsoft, and Facebook aren't going anywhere in the next few years. Despite newspapers reports of doom, most tech companies in the region are profitable. Tech employees' families are sticky and won't move unless the push or the pull is substantial enough to end friendships and uproot community ties.

2. Agreed, the SF/SV housing crisis has a large political aspect to it. I foresee it continuing indefinitely. Owners often immediately switch sides from YIMBY to NIMBY once they get their deed. The area is more geographically constrained than SoCal. Even if massive development were permitted, it would take half a decade before price reductions started to occur. It would be simple to plan this in a way to preserve the existing character of neighborhoods, but it would require centralized planning; only dramatic legislation at the state level would make this possible.

3. You should or you shouldn't live in SF. SF's culture has waned dramatically but Haight-Ashbury and Mission are still vibrant. I agree the SF counterculture is on the decline. Oakland has a lively art scene though it is also being choked by SF-like house price increases. I agree that it is at a turning point where many different things could happen.

I think that a rational person might still move to the area due to the feedback loop of successful companies congregating to where developers and capital firms exist, and developers moving to the region to get jobs at good companies. Though it doesn't feel like it to me, I can't help but admit it's a good thing because this price pressure will eventually push companies to open campuses in other metro areas. In the meantime, we can only hope and wait.
I don't know if that sort of tradeoff really exists. Looking at a list of low-drag cars, most of them look great:

http://motorburn.com/2014/01/12-of-the-most-aerodynamic-cars...

Car styling is always a matter of taste, but I bet virtually everyone will find at least a couple of cars on that list that they think are nice to look at.

The Prius's weird styling isn't so much to be efficient, but to look efficient. The latest generation makes that much more obvious. Those weird lines and mismatched rear panels aren't doing anything for aerodynamics, but they call out that this car is different.
Any proof of that claim? I've seen it mentioned more than once but only pointing back to some very early (1798) reports.

Another good article on it with a couple of sample videos http://krui.fm/2015/12/30/whats-sound-glass-armonica/

Yeah, Test Pilot is more for features where Mozilla wants to experiment and see, if people even like the feature in general, not so much for bug-testing.

With e10s, it was clear that it would be included in Firefox, so they just tested it by pushing it through the normal chain of Nightly->Developer Edition->Beta->Stable.
Because they’re routinely insipid.
Shells that want to implement features like tab completion or more elaborate line editing than the basics, which only provide for deleting the last character, word, or line (using Backspace/^W/^U) need to put the terminal into raw mode when reading the user's command line so they can bypass the basic line editing that the terminal provides (called "cooked mode").

However, you can write a shell that doesn't do this. In particular, on Linux, you can experiment in dash. You'll find that the behavior is exactly the same as this article, since the terminal remains in cooked mode. In particular, if you type `l^Ds`, that will run `ls`, though you won't be able to delete the `l` anymore since that was input before the `^D`. Also, if you type `ls^D^D`, that will log out just like typing `^D` on an empty line does. Other shells have different behaviors -- for example, Bash seems to take `ls^D` to be the same as typing `ls` followed by pressing Enter.

Before any shell starts executing a program, however, it puts the terminal back in cooked mode no matter what mode it's in when at the prompt, since that's the default terminal mode expected by programs. If you want to experiment with the cooked mode line editing commands to get the behavior described in the article, you should run a command that receives standard input from the terminal (running `cat` by itself should suffice).
No worries..

Programming all the draw scenarios in chess wouldn't be completely trivial. If you add clocks to the game then you also need to account for when you flag but your opponent cannot win the game with legal moves. There are some strange edge-cases here for pawns vs minor pieces.

Example:

To elaborate on yebyen's answer: these shortcuts can be handled in different layers of your stack. By default, ^U will be handled by your terminal emulator, and it will only delete the buffer, it won't remember what you've deleted. However, programs can ask the terminal emulator to pass ^U through to them so they can handle it themselves. This happens if you use libeditline (or libreadline), and these libraries implement a per-application buffer.

You can test this yourself. Type some text, then ^U, then ^Y. This works because your shell uses libreadline or libeditline. Try this again in a "dumb" program like cat, or a shell without line editing like /bin/dash. ^U works, but ^Y does nothing (well, it lets you type ^Y in as much as you want).
The way that people currently plan to incorporate carbon into ICs is to create a traditional silicon chip with a number of special pads. When a solution of carbon nanotubes is washed over the chip the tubes stick to the pads and create a connection there. So you would be leveraging all the current silicon technology. The problem is getting an economical source of nanotubes and getting them to stick to the damn pads reliably
Yeah -- you need to do your work first in this case. There's a lot of steps before step 1 -- work to understand yourself, build experience with meditation, begin to make the connections between felt sensations in the body and your own reactiveness and outlook on the world.

I suspect that someone just wandering into a DMT-fueled experience like ayahuasca having done no self-work would see some weird shit and puke a few times and then try to justify their experience to themselves; the "ten years of therapy in one night" story requires you to first do ten years of therapy.
I agree with soylentcola: this is one of the better general purpose descriptions of the general effects and possible advantages of psychedelics.

I can share a pretty concrete benefit that I received in one of my very rare experiences: for the first time, I was able to clearly see some of the not so good edges of my ego. This awareness allowed me to make some substantive modifications in my life that have brought some big, long-term improvements.

Each of my once per year experiences have proved to be beneficial, though often in very subtle and indirect ways. As you said, it's easy to get that mixed up with confirmation bias.
I was wishing for the same when I saw the title.

Really just that I've used Firebug for so long that using anything else is painful. I've tried switching but always ended up going back. Much of it is interface differences, but some of it is actual differences in functionality: if Firebug has something which another inspector does not, then it's super-frustrating. If another inspector has something that Firebug lacks, then I don't even notice.

Edit: I should emphasize that I'm not saying Firebug is superior, just that I'm used to it.
Yes I guess I was throwing static typing, somewhat incorrectly, into the "pure" catch-all.
Those two are implemented with contenteditable, which is a very flawed mechanism that isn't standard or consistent across browsers. Quill is implemented entirely in JS.
1. How'd you find yourself doing this?

2. From your experience, how does ayahuasca compare to other psychedelics?

3. Any personal advice for someone interested in experimenting with these drugs?
This! I forget the company name but one was on This Week in Start-ups a while back and they have a funnel where they use their data on you and, if they found you started looking at their products, their ads would change to something like "come on back" and if you started building a couch it would change again to "you can have that couch delivered in a week!" or something similar to that.

It's a little creepy mind you but I think the vast majority wouldn't notice that and it's a huge way of getting people back in.
Heh, we found the same link, except I looked it up in order to demonstrate that the Prius's looks aren't about efficiency.

Most of those cars look great. The Prius stands out (along with the XL1) as a weirdmobile there, and it still only gets fifth place.

I'm not going to bash it over its appearance, but I think that list shows that it doesn't have to look different to be efficient.

All the mobile browsers I've tried do this - Firefox, Dolphin, and stock Android. I distinctly remember browsing the web quite happily with Firefox desktop on a machine with 512 MB of RAM as recently as 2008, so I can't help but feel we've gone backwards.

Sure there is. They can't upgrade to a larger house when they have another child because they won't be able to find a deal that compensates their huge property tax increase. They have to live with the crushing reality that their children most likely won't be able to live in the area unless they were the percentage of those who could be successful. These are enormous costs. I agree that they may not be apparent to most residents.
Can anyone tell how Quill compares to Draft and ProseMirror?
Of course, and prop 13 also creates soft forms of blight. Old people stay in their homes long after they should have sensibly downsized...but ANYWHERE they move in California (even into a one-bedroom condo in nowhere-ville) will increase their property taxes! So they don't move. But they also can't afford the outrageous local costs for upgrades and basic maintenance, so their homes are slowly falling apart.
Ever lived in a condo with an HOA (Home Owner's Association)? You get the opposite problem. One person, household, or small set of owners wants to be in power so they can make changes that benefit them, and everyone else wants nothing to do with the HOA so they can't be blamed when something goes wrong and because they're too busy with their lives. So a vote is held, most people don't show up, and even if they do, they don't want to do the jobs themselves so they vote for the people who want it, and the result is usually terrible.
That's not the dream. The dream is to get access to the billions of dollars the Federal Government spends to finance college degrees. Tuition costs at for-profit schools track neither those companies inputs nor the value they actually provide to the market.

The distinction is important. It is likely --- overwhelmingly likely, I think --- that there are programs with "the dream" you site that will work well. They just won't work like government-subsidized for-profit colleges.
> If two relations have identical designs, the difference can only be encoded in the relation (and possibly attribute) names, in violation of the IP [information principle]. As such, it is inaccessible to the DBMS, which cannot rely on the RPs [relation predicates] to accept/reject tuples as correct/incorrect. Users--with little, or no help from the DBMS--must ensure that the correct tuples are inserted in the proper relation. Moreover, because information is not represented explicitly (as data values), relational operations lose it: if you UNION the two relations, you get users that either viewed or downloaded items, or both.

The author appears to be suggesting that the name of a relation has nothing to do with the meaning of a tuple in it. I've read dozens of books and papers on database design and I have never come across anyone ever suggesting any such thing.

He also seems to be saying:

(1) The name of a relation is inaccessible to the DBMS.

(2) You should be able to throw tuples at a DBMS and it should just figure out where they go.

(3) If there are tables A and B in your database and you can't reconstitute A and B separately from (A UNION B), then there's something wrong with your database design.

This might be a good analogy, if you substitute decades of Space-X time for years of Boeing time. Neither Space-X nor any other launch company has yet proved that it can fly passengers even to Low Earth Orbit with anything like the reliability needed for routine travel. A roughly 1-in-100 chance of dying per trip is much, much too high. Space-X has launched 16 times in the past two years. To demonstrate reasonable reliability, they're going to need to launch ~300 times without losing the vehicle or payload. Even at double the current launch rate, that won't happen until the 2030s.

Is it really Cheap Gasoline that's the cause of the decline?

Seems more like Toyota's Prius is paying the price for hanging onto a decade-old product. The type of customer who would have bought a Prius in 2002, has moved on to EV's and PHEV's, and Toyota doesn't appear to be selling those yet.

Cheap Gasoline hasn't stopped Tesla from racking up multi-year-long waiting lists for the Model 3. "CMAX Energ-i" and Volts and LEAFs can be bought today at decent prices. But Toyota's response -- the "Prius Prime" -- doesn't appear to be for sale yet.

The auditor was also a solutions provider.

They had an aged epos system that was replaced, new computers for everyone, etc etc.

"flatland" corporate structures don't really seem to scale. You eventually get to a point where the cost of coordination everyone needs to do is greater than the cost of having a bureaucracy. Also, I'm guessing that these structures are only effective in firms like Valve: a small number of experienced employees, no hard deadlines, and lots of specialists who know how to best allocate their time.
You can mitigate the regressive nature of the tax by making the carbon tax "revenue neutral" and funnelling the revenues of the tax completely into credits and tax cuts for those most impacted, which includes low income persons.

British Columbia's carbon tax is claimed to be revenue neutral though I've noticed some criticism about the balance of resulting tax cuts.

Other carbon tax jurisdictions such as Alberta are taking a different approach and are using revenues on green projects.
