Which they don't pay either.

1. Settlers who commit crimes are prosecuted by the Israeli government, and have no support for their actions from non extremists
2. Pallywood. In terms of smolanim, there are many videos on YouTube showing them harassing and attacking soldiers and civilians, and only filming the response (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pallywood - I'd get some video links for both examples but I really have to get back to work :-)
3. That does take degree into account. Price tags rarely cause injury or death, even though they are often in response to Arabs injuring or killing Israeli's
4. No they're human beings, and they exercise restraint in retaliation. That being said, an overwhelming majority of Israel condemns their actions. You'll be hard pressed to find a Leftist who supports them, and a large majority of the right condemns their violence.
5. Not sure if that's sarcasm or not
6. Both the groom and his parents are on record stating that they do not know those people who were not invited and they were dancing off to the side so they didn't notice them. If they had, they would've removed them from the wedding. In any case, they were violent hilltop youth; again, condemned by a large majority of Israel (http://m.jpost.com/Arab-Israeli-Conflict/Abu-Khdeir-murderer...)

1. They celebrate death and injury to Westerners and Israelis. When Arabs commit terrorist attacks against Israel they parade in the streets and hand out candy. The terrorists are hailed as hero's as they celebrate the fact that they just killed/injured innocent people.
2. When an Arab blows up a bomb in a busy street, when an Arab goes in a knifing and/or shooting spree in the street, when an Arab uses his car to ram into people in the street, that's pretty public. There are also less public ones, sure. But you almost never hear of a settler walking into an Arab town in broad daylight and just start killing/injuring people.
3. Ignoring the fact that they do this to civilians, we'll focus on the soldier aspect. You think it's OK for an Arab to approach a checkpoint, pull out a knife, and stab a soldier who was doing nothing other than standing there? How about when they ram their cars into checkpoints, or try to blow them up. It got so bad that the IDF had to instruct soldiers to start shooting these terrorists, because the soldiers didn't want to have to kill anyone, but it was leading to soldiers getting injured and killed. What if it's not at a checkpoint? What if an Arab walks past a soldier in the street and knifes him/her? Is that OK? (http://www.cnn.com/videos/world/2015/11/09/west-bank-attempt... http://www.stogether.org/idf-soldiers-hate-checkpoints/ http://www.ifcj.org/news/stand-for-israel/two-idf-soldiers-w... and there multiple others that are easy to find)
4. The Holocaust started with a bunch of people talking shit. We're very wary of shit talking now, especially when that leads to (and has led to) dead Israelis
5. No we don't want to rule over these people at all. We want them to go away, or stay and be functioning members of society. But no one should have to worry that making a wrong turn will lead to them being lynched.
Learned something then! Is it take it off the store stupid or just regular?
Not the GP, but for quick things I prefer CL because:

* TIMTOWTDI. Doing everything with map/reduce/filter is great, but sometimes it's more direct to just use the LOOP macro. Immutability is great, but sometimes it's way faster to just SETF something (and not have to worry about atoms).

* Batteries (more) included. IME, I find myself needing to use third-party libraries sooner with Clojure than with CL. Also, QuickLisp is arguably faster to get rolling with than Leiningen (I've found it easier to get the new library into my existing lisp image). And CL tends to have clusters of functions that do similar-but-different things, whereas Clojure puts the cognitive burden on you to do things right (example off the top of my head: CL has REMOVE, REMOVE-IF, and REMOVE-IF-NOT, Clojure has ????? (like ten different ways, I'm serious), `(filter pred list)`, and `(filter (complement pred) list)`).

* The debugging situation is fantastic. Both because CL deals with errors a lot more gracefully than Clojure (are we allowed to blame the JVM?) and because SLIME >>> CIDER, at least for now.
It is mine, yea.

I'm not sure I get the argument? The government is calling them out on price gouging which is generally illegal even if you are a monopoly. I also don't see how blaming the FDA is going to fix much when outsourcing regulatory type functions to companies doesn't work any better.

Bottom line corruption and fraud occur inside government and business alike. To me blaming this stuff on crony capitalism misses the point. Someone working in a company can be bribed or fail to do their job just as easy as politicians and bureaucrats.

1) Speed. Chrome is blinking fast, Firefox, especially when fiddling with margins on CSS classes that are heavily used, is dog slow.

2) Compatibility with Webkit-based mobile browsers for debugging. I'm so not having two browsers with hundreds of MB of RAM usage open.

Firefox' advantage is, though, the mouse inspector - it shows rulers for the selected element at it's borders. Invaluable when trying to align text across columns or rows!

I hear things like this about Zuckerberg all the time and he did one singular thing that made Facebook take off more than all of the other social networks that were out there at the time (Classmates, High School Alumni, My Space, etc).

He made it exclusive. You had to have a .edu address to sign up so the people ON the network were initially only your peer group. You couldn't get in without that .edu address and therefore you WANTED to get in if you couldn't.

This created a steady user base that didn't have to be EVERYBODY (as long as people at your school were on you didn't care) and a natural spam filter as there were controls on access to those email addresses. Once those people graduated from college they got to stay on the site.

Zuckerberg succeeded specifically because of the exclusivity that Facebook grew from during a time where every other service was just a spam mine.
We definitely have plans to get full support into the API around pull request reviews.

Given how much iteration we do after an initial ship like this, especially one with as much feedback as code review, we prefer shipping the API after things have solidified and settled down after the wide release.

> Perhaps we think that we are standing up for those ideals? Perhaps we believe that the Constitution actually does set up a government and grant it certain powers, and that it's perfectly constitutional for that government to use those powers?

The government is granted those powers by democratic mandate.

When a mass surveillance system can be set up without any democratic debate, these powers were never granted to the government, it grabbed them without permission.

When the director of the NSA lies to Congress under oath, there is no democratic oversight over these powers.
I can't make that decision for you but generally things that transmit address bar input from a browser to other locations are enough for me to ban something from a network, whether it's encrypted in flight or not. Your personal DigitalOcean server being on the other end of the entire install base's queries (a) gives me pause, given the logging opportunities and (b) will fall over if you get some installation footprint. Your decision not to encrypt means that the threat vector expands from solely you to you as well as any adversaries in between the browser and you, so it's sort of an extra bummer on top of some bummers.

A screen shot extension for Chrome did this without telling people and it became headlines. There's a reason one popular tool for finding stuff that does this is called Little Snitch.

The CI choice is important. There are many features that must come from the CI:

- Support downloading the code from various repo (GIT, SVN...)

- Option to start build from scratch or keep the state from the previous build

- Integrate with your user accounts (LDAP, Google Auth...)

- Good and stable API [jenkins API is a complete mess]

- Storing and retrieving build artifacts

- Bisecting

- Running batch of builds / parametrized builds

- Graphing and statistics (build durations, build failures, ...)

- Backup system for the configuration of the CI master (must be scriptable)

- High availability: Either support a pair of CI master with active/passive, or support scaling horizontally with many active masters (this is critical for > 1000 dev companies with many many projects)

- Build in monitoring in the CI master itself (e.g. manage the space taken by projects and artifacts) with a notifications when things are going critical.

I have two dogs. Dog #1 (the larger male dog) requests food from us and when food has been provided he sort of goes and gets Dog #2 (a smaller female). He then stands guard over her until she's done eating and then he eats his food. Could be a similar dynamic at work here?

Interesting, and kind of makes sense.

However:

> Of course that doesn't help for dynamic cases like `` await import(`./language-packs/${navigator.language}.js`) ``.

Isn't that the main, possibly only advantage of `await import(...)` though?

For static import names, why write `const x = await import('x');` if you can simply write `import x from 'x';`?

You are also told to fight back if they go from threatening your wallet to threatening your physical well-being. Many places will actually send out the authorities to search for and imprison muggers after you report them. You are definitely not supposed to "just ignore them," you're supposed to do what it takes to survive, then report them, and have them brought to justice.

Exactly. If a mugging turns into a kidnapping, the recommended practice is for the victim to not go with the criminal, and to fight back or attempt to escape by whatever means available.

For crime victims who are transported by criminals to a so-called "secondary crime scene", the survival statistics are much worse than in the case of a simple mugging.

Clojure has neither the cool constructs of CL (CLOS, conditions) nor the minimal design and fantastic set of control primitives of Scheme. In fact it has no significant advantage over Scheme aside from running on the JVM, and a few disadvantages (recur, why TF are lambda lists vectors?, etc.). It's different enough to be weird and annoying, but the differences aren't advantageous enough to make me want to switch: Scheme (and CL!) has been made to run efficiently on the JVM (with some caveats, which Clojure has also!).
Pigeons and bats were both used in separate projects. You're thinking of the bat one.

Incendiaries were attached to bats, who were dropped from planes. And then expected to fly into buildings. Incendiaries go off. Building burns down.

Pigeons were used as the guidance system in an early smart bomb. Rather than tracking a target with a laser or GPS, trained pigeons would steer the bomb.
SQL (at least the subset used for querying and modifying data) contains no physical knowledge either. In a SELECT-query a physical table and a logical view look and behave the same.

If you only give your users access to views instead of physical tables you get the same result as GraphQL, just with different syntax.

Any many things have much lower inflation than the numbers show too.

Yeah, I just chose some random features that I may have interpreted incorrectly. There are others; people can read the features page for themselves.

A minor nit: the commit graph full of green squares should not be encouraged. I don't think that kind of behavior is healthy.
The replacement of icons is a smaller challenge than eliminating Win32 though. Perhaps such a small start would be beneficial to exude a feeling of quality and not "more stuff has been taped on!".

As it turns out, I don't think they will ever do away with Win32 as UWP uptake is very small (it's just a COM subset after all, just not IUnknown), and 90% of all other apps use Win32 (including every single "desktop" Windows app like Explorer, Notepad etc. etc...)
Growing up, my parents' house actually had a small business telephone system installed, including intercom functionality. We used it all the time.

Depending on what you call personal data you could argue all data is personal so all software must be open source?

The GOP thing is much, much later. I don't think it's the structural explanation.

Oh, agreed, but I think it's a very useful data point in studying this.

And you have a point about the declaration of war, but, in our small c constitution, the president pretty much had free reign with the Navy, including of course the Marines, it took the Congress to get the Army seriously involved.

Which ended with WWII (see e.g. http://www.senate.gov/pagelayout/history/h_multi_sections_an...), since then we've bled mightily in the Korean "Police Action" (although be careful about the figures for the dead, the initial one was accidentally for all servicemen in any part of the world who died for any reason), Vietnam, heck, the Republican Congress explicitly refused to declare war after 9/11, and I don't think that had anything to do with the football et. al.

Between official governmental suppression and co-option, the "Tea Party" never got anywhere, I'm not sure it's relevant.

My explanation for the GOP is that they never got over the minority party attitude that was inculcated from 1955 or 1931 through 1995. Even when Newt and company were in theory running it, they didn't act like the party in power, see e.g. the Waco hearing(s).

Of course, your Nixon era retreads theory comports perfectly with mine ... but does it, for example, explain Boehner, who's political career started in 1981? Well, he he came of age before Nixon's election, but look at the much younger Ryan, he was born a few days into Nixon's 2nd year in office....

Dear Lumber yard
1 point by daniel-cussen 3348 days ago | hide | past | web | 1 comment | favorite | yes | maybe | no

Dear Sirs,

I write to solicit; we sell termites. We provide termite adoption services for lumberyards.

While termite adoption may sound terrible at first blush, we believe it to be adviseable. The termites can dispose of wracked beams without requiring burning. The termites can also eliminate small pieces of discarded wood, and partly take care of cleaning the sawing site in your stead. They can also easily consume stockpiles that are no longer useful. This may be especially valuable in sight of the housing downturn in your area and subsequent inventory surpluses you may be dealing with. Any surplus inventory you give to the termites will largely be metabolized by the termites, and therefore decrease in volume. From a practical point of view, a termite nest can perform in your lumber yard the task it performs in nature; that of a recycler. At this point you can exploint the large amount of fertilizer left over and sell it.

You are in a position at which you can begin to sell natural fertilizer easily. Consumers relate your core business to fixing homes. You provide beams for home improvement purposes, and while that segment of the housing market is falling, the gardening market is holding up because desperate sellers will try to improve the curb appeal of their house in order to finally sell their house. This means home sellers are improving their gardens, which involves the use of fertilizer. As the housing downturn has affected your core business for the worse, why not hedge these losses by entering the fertilizer market?

Not only will termites reduce costs and expand your business, they will also provide excellent public relations. Ecology is in these days; Whole Foods can charge about twice the usual price for its products solely because they are organic. This despite any evidence the food the sell is actually better in any way. Many consumers may want to reduce their carbon footprint. By buying your fertilizer, they effectively stop about half of the carbon in a plank from reaching the atmosphere. This will provide cheap and novel marketing for both your core business and your fertilizer business.

We'll be the first to acknowledge that termites pose a serious risk to wood. They can devastate a home if left unattended for a few years. A simple "moat" around the termite's designated space will be able to effectively stop the termites from harming the good wood. In doing so, you will showcase your expertise in handling lumber and the confidence you have in your abilities. You may be able to sell termite control sprays in the process.

At Intermite, we believe adopting a nest will be an excellent way to help your core lumber business. For an up-front set-up fee of $449.00, we offer the delivery and installation and setup of a termite nest in your lumberyard.

A nest costs $450.00 plus tax. This fee includes includes delivery and installation. We offer related products such as custom fertilizer bags,

Regards, Intermite
Clojure's immutable types mean just that—the values are immutable (e.g., in CL you could do (defvar x 42) (setf x 84), but in Clojure the equivalent is not allowed).

But there are many more side effects than changing variables. Clojure makes no guarantees that a given function is referentially transparent, nor does it promise that a given function doesn't write to stdout/stderr, read from stdin, change the file system, make a network connection, send missiles to foreign countries, etcetera.
lol, saved my ass it looks like! Took your advice.

It turns out that a bunch of tacit knowledge is required to build working nuclear weapons. The designs are not sufficient at all, and it does make sense that you might be able to deter development by subtly leading developers down known dead-ends.

Each program involved hundreds to thousands of science staff and each faced substantial practical problems. MacKenzie and Spinardi posed that the spread of nuclear weapon capacity following the Manhattan Project progressed more along the lines of re-invention than technology transfer.
