You're appealing to fear of a hypothetical situation here, but we're talking about a real, non-hypothetical situation. There weren't bystanders, and Mader was trained to deal with the situation:

"Immediately, the training he had undergone as a Marine to look at “the whole person” in deciding if someone was a terrorist, as well as his situational police academy training, kicked in and he did not shoot."[1]

> I don't want to live in a world of cops hesitating to shoot armed, unstable people and neither should you.

The alternative that you're proposing is a world where cops are the armed, unstable people, except that now the armed, unstable people have power and authority. That's not a world I want to live in.

Yes of course. It should be connected to both. You can't put a piece of tape over a microphone.
"Sliding into management" might sound like it's an easy path, but it's an entirely different profession. Only those who are interested and have the ability should ever consider this route.
Well, yes and no. The syntax itself looks very verbose, and the language seems to have a lot of idioms of its own.
Fixed: no. But temporary improved: yes.
Why: Because around 10% of Parisian flat are currently unoccupied. For a city like Paris, that's huge!

Someone told me that it's because you consume too much fluids when drinking beer, causing mineral and vitamin imbalances or some such. (I ain't no scientalist!) This makes sense if true, since to reach the same level of alcohol in your blood you simply have to drink more beer than say vodka, which is obviously much stronger.

But if they do touch your camera then you will know. If they don't touch your camera, then putting a piece of tape over it is pointless anyway.
You have lots of metaphors and how analytical thinking is "narrow", but I didn't found your argument why continental philosophy would be better to study than analytical tradition.

I'm suddenly reminded of an acquaintance whole called me "narrow-minded" when I said chakras and horoscopes are maybe fun, but have not much to do with the observable scientific reality, so you should not be serious about them.

I mean, I reviewed the wikipedia dictionary definition [1] of major trends in continental philosophy to see to refresh my mind what it was about, again, and I'm not terribly impressed. If analytical is "narrow" viewpoint, then fine, in my opinion it's very needed right kind of narrow a rigorous and honest study of philosophy needs.

I'd say it's a matter of perspective. Nobody ever told you barista was special, and requires years of school, etc etc. So you don't feel disappointed when you end up as a "tool". Whereas being a graduate that ends up treated like a cashier at a mall does create some deep internal dissonnance.

Because today there are websites and there are are web apps. Sometimes there's a combination of both - for example a blog - it's front end (user facing) part could be rendered by the server page by page and it's backend (admin access) is a single page web app. Each is used where appropriate - website - mostly static content, SEO and web app - a lot of user interaction.

Where is a homeless person then supposed to masturbate/defecate and wait, if not in public?

Oh, he has no home. Well then, i interpret the author words as a statement that, s/he/it should just accept that they are out of luck and vanish, like Homeless in any or-well-organized state do?
If only we had a state that placed the welfare of the community, over the welfare of self-deprecating individuals, then we could all be fascists, happily ever after.
I've been developing a large web app with ng2 and Dart since april, no framework is perfect, but this combo is a joy to work with.

Did ng1 and react with JS before, react was more enjoyable but in the end it just doesn't compare.

Anyway, great to see the release :)
I love the optical output embedded in the headphone jack. I think it's awesome and extremely useful for playing movies on my older home theater which doesn't have the HDMI switching capability to get DD 5.1 that way. And it's a lot more reliable than trying to 'cast' the video, particularly when the codec may be unsupported by the receiver as well.

Looks to me as though everyone involved has been at least too optimistic. And MobileEye should not call it Autopilot if it cannot act like one.
Five ways to encourage generosity
I mean, this doesn't really seem like the grandest news. It could've been safely inferred based on the releases at the time: http://www.wsj.com/articles/mobileye-ends-partnership-with-t...

> Mobileye said it would no longer provide its computer chips and algorithms to Tesla after a current contract ends due to disagreements about how the technology was deployed.

But it's good to have the exact reason Mobileye decided against renewing the contract in writing. I'm still keen to see how Volvo's system ends up since they (if I recall correctly) are the only car company which has so far indicated they would accept responsibility for incidents caused by their driverless system: http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-34475031 -- hopefully this'll compel their engineering teams to focus more on safety rather than MVP.

I do wonder whether both Tesla and SpaceX are seeing the issues they're seeing because of the abysmal work-life balance at both companies. Great successes on both sides, but there are increases in risks of catastrophic failure in products from both companies which have already been realized. I'm sure work life balance isn't the only reason, but it wouldn't surprise me if Musk's inability to personally burn out isn't actually shared by the vast majority of his engineers.
The political/social commentary was always there, it was just more mixed up with absurd humour in the earlier seasons.

The problem is we don't have much in the ways of examples.

I'd say one of the few people in the world who has given grade-a examples is Rob Pike. That said I don't agree with him on much but I do very much respect his talent for simplicity. I'm directly referring to his Regex parser. It's amazing work although I'd much rather see him implement it live from scratch.

Something like the SICP lectures on youtube. It's amazing what they go over and do in that class and how they teach you about abstracting your problem domain.
I just can't connect to my development SQL server even though it's in the same region as production. The only difference being the service tier, I wonder if that's playing a role.

UPDATE: Just got in at 10:53 EST.
This is a real problem in our industry. We all like to think that we 'know' how to write good code, after all we read 'Clean Code' once. That, combined with either overconfidence in our abilities or the negative perception that comes with not knowing the answer to every problem leads to a lot of software that has applied 'good' coding practices and architecture to produce a mess of awful code.

In reality it is probably a lot more like learning how to apply any other concept, it takes practice, yet we don't spend enough time practicing our craft. This is particularly a problem because in the course of developing a product you will only get to implement a new solution to a problem a few times at best, or once more likely. This means we don't get enough experience with the different possible approaches to really internalize what a 'good' solution looks like.

We spend much more time learning the software development approach du jour, XP, Scrum, Kanban, Lean, etc. It doesn't matter what software development approach you use if the output is an unmaintainable mess of code.

You would be surprised how much effort has been put to improve the quality of life of the homeless population in NYC. For example every homeless is entitled to a shelter and they have access to food and emergency healthcare, let alone the opportunity to enjoy public spaces. This is in direct contrast of what's happening in other US cities. The total homelessness in US is dropping but there is I think around a 40% increase in the homeless population in NYC. I have been waiting some time now for an investigative journalist to come up with an article that reads something like "The great migration of the homeless".
That's now how I interpreted that scene.

They're easier to develop.

Most websites and web apps have use AJAX to dynamically update certain parts of the site. Even though few sites would need to use it for everything, once you introduce good tools for dynamically updating the DOM and hire some Javascript developers, it's easy to say "Let's just use this approach to everything".

It's fair to say it's a lazy approach. I've built many SPAs that probably would have been better as static sites, and would have benefited from better SEO. But hey, we got then shipped fast.

I'm glad Microsoft is cognizant of the fact that they have legions of partners, vendors, and independent developers that have built their businesses on top of Microsoft libraries and technologies and has chosen appropriate licensing to reflect that.
It is hardly theft, as it functions on a very different set of mechanics.

Look up adverse possession:

If you approach college as a consumer of the information fed by professors and books, the Public Library approach is probably a great value proposition (though I'd question whether that $1.50 provided any value at all... :-) ).

However, a good education is much more than this. It includes the opportunity to engage in back-and-forth discussions with professors and classmates, building social and professional networks that can pay innumerable dividends, and to pursue experiences that aren't immediately related to career advancement.

College shouldn't merely be about vocational training. While that's one valuable outcome, there is much more that can be gained. Of course, many colleges (and individual students' experiences) fall far short of this—I wish I thought this way when I was in school, and didn't just see it as another hurdle to full adulthood—but that doesn't mean that the concept is flawed.

Um, Microsoft has also been a steady producer of academic research papers.

Just as an example: http://jeffhuang.com/best_paper_awards.html

Article says "the internal website that allows employees to purchase the company’s signature mooncakes", let's precise it, it's not a normal pay-buy purchase, it's EARLY BIRD mode for limited supply, a very typical online promotion way used by Taobao.com in China, and Alibaba should realize that, this marketing solution have always two targeted users:

1. those users with much time who stay/wait there and click mouse in a stupid/crazy way, yes I saw that in reality.

2. those who write script to do it.

Alibaba leaders including Jack MA and HRs pretend that they don't know how game really works in which they don't have technical solution to block the 2nd type buyers, and they fire technicians with moral/culture problem reason which makes themselves great by humiliating employees.

My opinions:

1. Alibaba has right to fire guys, but the reason/excuse is ridicule, a public listed company should be shamed for that way they treat employees;

2. early bird mode promotion is imperfect game in a short supply market (which is not same for Kickstarter, who uses it to stimulate/warm weak demand at beginning while normal options exists), Alibaba(Taobao.com) uses this mode in a crazy way in China and waste users' time and passion, very inefficient.
Do you use a telco/cableco provided modem? I was escalated through 3 tiers of support who all gave me different answers. I called to pick a fight over the fact that I live in an urban center, and while they advertise "90% IPv6 coverage on their residential network" I still don't have IPv6 access.

I wanted to know what actions I could take to get IPv6. I knew that a competitor offered IPv6 (a friend just switched) and having IPv6 access would make it much easier to administer my servers w/o using a tunnel.

- The first tier support told me my leased modem did support IPv6, but I'd need to buy a "business class" plan. This was a flat out lie, and in fact I "have" a business class plan at work. (Hint: it's the exact same modem, and we don't get an IPv6 allocation at the office.)

- The second tier told me IPv6 wasn't available in my area, full stop.

- The third tier [correctly] told me my modem doesn't support IPv6, and that a new one from an "approved list" would. (Though when I inquired about a specific model _from that list_ she told me it wasn't supported.)

---

In the end I bought a modem from that list (the exact one she told me wouldn't work, hilariously enough) and IPv6 just started working out of the box.

I really don't understand what the point of leasing a modem from a cableco is. I was operating under the assumption that they'd replace it when it was obsolete or in disrepair, but apparently "has IPv4 access" doesn't count as obsolete just yet.

So if you want IPv6 access: a good place to start would be pestering your ISP and probably ditching your ISP provided gateway. As an added bonus I now save $10/mo on my bill.
I'm not treating this event in isolation--I'm actually considering more than you, as I'm considering the lives of suspects across the officer's career in addition to the officer's own life.

I can only imagine that the reason you don't care about the suspect's life is an us-or-them mentality, but this is inherently the wrong mentality for police work, and it's exactly why cops kill so many unarmed black men in the US. Police need to keep in mind the lives of the people they serve.

If Taco Bell can keep us from using its wifi for porn or indeed any streaming at all (ask me how I know!) it doesn't seem impossible for NYC? A really simple technique would be to just run everything through a service like "OpenDNS Family Shield". Perhaps eventually someone would complain that e.g. breastfeeding videos were blocked, but that seems like a smaller problem than public masturbation.
Honestly the best way to go about this, in my mind, is to make criticism ok in our industry. I've been trying my hardest to get someone I know to comment on my implementation of a CS280 homework I've been working on. I want to get to the point where I can properly write this code so it is readable to everyone. It seems like every time I ask someone to do this I'm told "Why would you want me to tell you how to code"

That's insane! I think that a goal of any programming course around the world should instill the idea that getting your peers to modify and read your code is a must in our industry. People need to be able to com along, see what you've done, and understand it.

If anyone want's to comment on my code that I'm talking about in this example it can be found here:

Implementation: https://git.gravypod.com/gravypod/school/tree/master/cs280/h...

I've attempted to live up to what I think is "good code" but no one want's to tell me if I'm right or wrong or even discuss this for fear of hurting my feelings I presume. I always get "run valgrind or a linter on it" and I've done that and come up with no ways for improvement. Everything is all opinion and no fact in this business of code cleanliness although this should be a cornerstone topic for the software development industry.
I agree Chasm City feels very pedestrian and long. But i got a real thrill when it finally converged.. It was well worth the wait ;)
I just do it in Sketch. For me, any evolutionary insights are secondary to shipping, so I'd rather stay on the golden path of tooling than adapt the flow just to see changes. However, it's generally pretty easy to simply zoom out and see your evolution just by looking at multiple artboards at the same time (the changes I'm interested in are more about feel and aesthetics, so I don't really need any pixel level onion-skinnng or anything to compare revisions).

FWIW though, Github's image diff is quite useful in this regard. They have a number of useful comparison interfaces for image files that may fit your needs.
The very next paragraph describes blockchain databases as peer-to-peer protocols with some form of scoring algorithm to decide which blocks are part of the chain.
But that at least requires some human investment of time and movement. Someone has to case your house and sit there for however long it takes, risking discovery, boredom, opportunity cost, etc.

Wholesale information theft is another level. Someone in a different state or country has access not only to me, but potentially hundreds of people's details, without ever leaving their home. And then they can leverage a whole community that is doing the same. This is how "The Fappening" occurred. This sort of crowdsourced stalking would be impossible pre-internet.

Yes. From what I heard when working at Saab (which makes sytems like this), it is a very... memorable... experience sitting in the second seat of a fighter aircraft when the pilot demonstrates this capability.
Plus I don't buy the "Doesn't affect me"-angle. In general, people abusing vectors like this are dang smart (or know someone who knows someone who's smart. doesn't matter). There's a reason why my webcam isn't plugged in unless I explicitly use it.

What about recognizing keys, credit card details or important information in letters on the desk? Some simple image recognition for these, and a large dragnet-style attack with this seems quite lucrative from a minute or two of thought.
Correct, there was probably a significant amount of simulator testing. Keep in mind that these kinds of simulators use real hardware and the avionics are being given inputs just like in the aircraft (i.e. the GPS antenna is simulated, but GPS inputs and uncertainty propagate through the system just like in the actual aircraft)

Most likely there is a test mode that raises the altitude floor/projected flight path at which it takes over. You could then perform the level-off at a safer altitude.
