Has to be cost. With how much they charge I'm still surprised that there's no startups offering comparable (particularly on-prem) products. May be it's a harder product to make than it seems.
In many ways it's just like micro kernels again.

If micro services are the bee's knees, why are you writing them in Eclipse or Emacs? Wouldn't interconnected processes make up a "better" environment? An why are you deploying on something as monolithic as Linux? Shouldn't you out-compete all of these obviously inferior solutions, as there are probably more money in that than whatever web app you are currently building?
I wonder if that's because of the chicken tax? The Transit Connect would fall into that category for sure (at least in cargo/work van trims). Not sure about the Edge (it's passenger only, so the tax might not apply).

Clinton said, “In addition—in addition, he stole very important information that has unfortunately fallen into a lot of the wrong hands.

Did you read up on the Salton Sea? [1]

Ecological Benefits:
"Once known as the “California Riviera”, the Salton Sea is now called one of America’s worst ecological disasters: a fetid, stagnant, salty lake, that coughs up dead fish and birds by the thousands in frequent die-offs that occur."

> Moreover, the material Mr. Snowden stole pertains to lawful intelligence activities authorized and overseen by all three branches of government.

Exactly.

To those who question why Snowden didn't work through the system, here's your answer--straight from the House Intelligence Committee.
Do you still have the code somewhere? I would like to take a look at it.
Maybe the House Intelligence Committee should look in the mirror to find the treasonous criminals.
Thanks. I updated the comment.
Though everyone and their uncle asks you to disclose SSNs, you don't actually have to. Tell AT&T that it's none of their business, tell your university, 'no thanks', etc. Though everyone asks, the only people you should tell are your bank, your employer, and the IRS.
I agree that there is at least a sentiment, or a potential explanation that world-wide money movements can explain an abnormal demand for cities demographics.

I am skeptical of that explanation, because housing has increased in rural areas as well, and in lesser cities. Moreover, increased demand could be accompanied by increased supply: cities could be building more. I know buenos aires is, and even though people complain about prices, demand for middle-class houses has been steady for almost 8 years and so has development.

For sure i am absolutely against laws and rules that try to patch a problem that is not understood, having the risk of making the problem worse.

I wonder what modern economists think of this.
Don't think it's a good idea at all. Waste precious coasts to get more more mundane heartland? Who ordered that? For nations that do not grow? In the world where agriculture is barely profitable?

Why would you need land, seriously, in 2016? Look at Hong Kong and Singapore, land is liability. Interesting how perspective changed in a hundred years.

Need feedback: Webapp for finding fitness services near a location
I am thinking about an idea for a mobile/web-app and I want your advice. Here is what it does: List out the fitness services (conventional gyms, yoga and Pilates studios) within the vicinity of a given area (with map and directions). Further help people compare the reviews, pricing and facilities provided. What do you think? Is it feasible? What other features and services should it have to make it useful for you?
You could buy a huge house for that here in Bend, and we're probably at or near the top of the latest real estate cycle.

I have a tax lawyer I work with, and I couldn't care less which firm he works at. However, he does work at a good firm, and a good name helps in negotiations (in this case, with the tax authority). A while back, I had a tax audit, and surprisingly the person doing the audit told me my firm can turn "black" into "white". That says quite a bit about the name and reputation of the firm.
> you're talking about the relative delta in the conceptual structures between languages you already know and the language you're learning

I don't think so. In both of my examples, the one from mathematics and the one from Russian, language is used as a way of representing some concepts—now, the language itself also has concepts underlying it, but these are about grammatical structures, lexicon, etc.—not about the subject the language is used to talk about.

To be clear, I'll call the first category of concepts 'subject concepts' and the second 'language concepts.'

When you learn a new foreign language you must learn new language concepts, but not new subject concepts. You aren't re-learning what it means for one to visit a store, you are only learning a new scheme for representing that concept, which isn't nearly as deep as the initial concept itself.

In learning mathematics you're having to pick up the language concepts and the subject concepts, and the subject concepts (as in the example I gave) can be quite deep.
This is precisely the reason presidents wait until the end of both terms before making any pardons. It's possible (however unlikely) that Obama, deep down, doesn't actually condemn him as much as he has let on publicly. Regardless of how he personally feels, until now, there are appearances that had to be kept up. So while now he still has nothing to gain by pardoning him, there is now much less to lose than there had been previously.
Exactly, otherwise all those IOI and IMO contestants would be pure geniuses, probably they are, but they practiced a lot to be good at a single task - problem solving in programming or mathematics for competitions. That's a good foundation built on insane amounts of repetition and memorization, but still, not many turn out to be Terence Tao or Peter Shor.

Although https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_International_Mathemat...

seems many did "pivot" from competitive memorization and repetition to some lovely mathmakers.
Let me make my point in a less obtuse way. Most people make decisions about their careers based on opportunity and maximising profit. No one becomes a footballer to make the world a better place. This would all be fine as long as the capitalist market rewarded choices that make the world a better place. Obviously it does not and it's not the fault of a footballer that we as a civilisation choose to channel our available resources their way and not towards frivolous play like space exploration.

If anyone ever figures out a way to make the free market choose the greater good they will win all the Nobel prizes forever (we won't need Nobel prizes after that).
No, but maybe you can share some of the evidence you apparently have that the United States is actively trying to sabotage the world's communication infrastructure?

What I Learned from Executing Two Men
Yeah I'm finding it's basically impossible to purchase a house inside the city limits. Last weekend I saw an 850k two bedroom cottage on a half acre in Boulder, and a three bedroom (nearly twice as large, had a full basement) house on a full acre near downtown Longmont right off the BOLT line for 400k. It's not worth the price to live in Boulder when I can live 20 minutes away with enough room. Plus Longmont has fiber!
It will at least print the rejection value coerced to a string ("undefined" in your example), but line numbers would be nice.
Haha I totally recognize myself here. I'm a french 25 years old software engineer who had opportunities in SF, NYC and SD. I chose to come in SD 2 years ago and I never regretted my choice! It feels like being in paradise compared to my hometown in france.

Fantastic weather all year, good beer, great food, tons of things to do,..
Rent are pricey but I wanted an nice place to live in a not crowded/safe place (Spectrum in Kearny Mesa) so me and my roommate pay 2300$/month for a 2bd/2bath appartement with gym, pools, ...

I'm 15 minutes away from my workplace in downtown and i love to be able to drive top-down every day (I like to drive).

Sure, I don't work for Google or Apple and don't make $150k+/yr (just 85k) but I don't care!
The lifestyle in SD is what I love and I don't think I'll move from here in the new few years.

Bonus point: I feel like i'm the only young french professinnal (software engineer or not) in the city so I enjoy how easy it is to pick up girl with my accent :D
I prefer the steam kind as well. Here are two models that are available in the US that I've used:

This seemed to be the biggest flaw in the new movie. IMHO, it could've used a scene or 2 of policy discussion with some Congressional committee/White House. I think it did a good job of showing how those in intelligence think, but not so much on the front end of the gov (our representatives).
React is the really the ideal rendering engine (though much less optimized than something like Unity). An immediate mode API abstracting over a retained mode renderer lets you think about a program as a state machine, while not sacrificing performance.

In other words, use VATs, not income taxes...

It seems that every country that use them decide to apply them in addition to income taxes. And that means the VAT is never big enough, and there is no political climate to gradually replace one with the other.

In theory, a VAT, land taxes, and universal income should form the perfect taxation system together.
It's hilarious, these are the people supposed to do the oversight. And they're calling a whistleblower a criminal who triggered actual oversight and new laws.

What a presidential candidate says about pardons during their campaign should be taken with a huge grain of salt. The reason they wait until the end of both of their terms is so that the decision does not affect their support from voters or any potential bi-partisan support.
We can already buy Ford Focuses super cheap. With the amount of competition in the small car market it will only get cheaper.

By having the lower priced Mexican labor build the vehicles these can keep getting cheaper without major investment in technology that is unlikely to pay for itself and without reduction in American worker's wages.

This also allows American Factories to make higher profits by focusing on making higher margin models without Ford having to give up a market segment.

Also, Security is generally better at American plants so by allowing the foreign factories to only build the crap models they are unlikely to compete on the unauthorized manufacturing market.

Also, This does put some money and infrastructure into Mexico so we can benefit as their country has slightly fewer people try to cross the border illegally.

This is simple division of labor. It lets Americans focus on more profitable things, there is no way this is bad for Americans.
Nope. Like I said, I was actually successful with Angel List—you just have to have a good profile and either write good introductions or contact the company directly. It could just use a cleanup and moderation.
According to your logic, Elon's been "in the right place at the right time" how many times? That you think that's due to luck, when it's clear he's a polymath with great design talent and work ethic, says more about him as a psychological Rorschach than anything else, I think.

He does trigger conservative-minded people pretty hard, which I imagine is partly due to how Tesla got politicized during Obama's first term.

I don't know how serious you are about the billion dollars thing (or what exactly your point may be), but I'd bet a billion dollars you wouldn't be anywhere as effective as Elon is with that money. The idea that any two people are going to be equivalently effective given $X is silly. There are just as many orders of difference in effectiveness with money as there are in any other endeavor.
In a way, both, depending.

In the case of toothpaste, we've already tested fluoride. I'm going to guess we know the safe limits and the recommended amounts in the stuff. So as long as there isn't any new sorts of drug in the toothpaste and one is using pretty standard safe sort of ingredients, there isn't really a need for some of the testing - animal or human testing. Tests to verify the percentage of fluoride in the toothpaste? Absolutely. Getting the fluoride from verified sources? Sure thing. And so on.

Cosmetics have relatively few standards comparatively [1]. In a way, it seems to be enough. It likely isn't an issue with common ingredients - same situation as fluoride. But on the other hand, if a company uses a new ingredient, I'd rather have some sort of official tests for safety. I think this is probably especially important with things used around the eyes and lips - and I'm not sure some of the warning labels are quite enough. For example, some of the Halloween makeup will have warnings not to use certain colors around the eyes (usually black or red). Of course, this is in small print on the back of the package, and not on the container holding the makeup. Yet if you look at the package, it often has that very color near the eyes.

Greenwald has stated that Snowden has leaked certain things for self-preservation. [1] Once that precedent is established, it isn't much of a leap to imagine that he would be willing to do that again if pressured by the Russian government.

It is a work of fiction but it's fairly dense. One of my philosophy classes used the first Matrix to explore some philosophical themes. It's been a while for concrete examples, one of the users pointed out Plato already. And this particular quote "human beings define their reality through suffering and misery." made me think of Dostoevsky's literature for some reason.

He isn't against freedom, he is against childish gestures, none of which actually change the general trend of the car sales in the market.

If small economy cars must be built cheaply then protesting with fires and vandalism is more likely to get a factory shut down because of missed goals.

Moving these low end models to Mexico with their cheap labor allows the Americans to build higher margin models and actually grow the company. No wonder France has about 1/3rd the car exports the US does or about 1/7th exports of Germany.

Potential Career Paths After a Coding Bootcamp
I think you're absolutely right. I was trying to craft my suggestions in such a way that we discourage fraudulent lending and provide (publicly, not privately) insurance against not being able to pay future education debts because of circumstances outside our control.

I want to increase the odds that someone who is willing and able can work their way to where they want to be, and decrease the odds that fortune dictates who wins and who loses.

(I vehemently support leveling the funding playing field for primary and secondary public schools in Minnesota and dramatically increasing funding for schools in poorer neighborhoods; also providing credits for child care, preschool, public transportation, and safer streets. What I object to is the idea that someone should go to Macalester College, get a degree in Psychology with a C+ average, then complain because they aren't handed a job with a wage high enough to cover $100k in student loans).
It's pretty sane if you are also a python programmer. I personally can no longer keep track of how I installed/set up my environments and would much prefer everything under a single package manager (instead of pip, easy install, eggs, virtual env, apt-get, nvm, npm, docker, brew, macports, etc etc).
