I meant "weaker" purely from an optical perspective: the camera has a higher resolution than the lens can deliver, at which point there's the question if the money isn't better spent elsewhere, assuming you don't have other reasons to go for the expensive high-end body. Generally a characteristic of bundled lenses: they are flexible and (with the better cameras) high in quality, but generally they don't reach the body in quality. (Although looking at tests again, it seems better than I remember the one I borrowed a while back)

And e.g. if i were to switch to full-frame, I don't need the extra length of the 24-105 and would go for a sharper off-brand 24-70 2.8 (although there is a new revision of the 24-105 around the corner), since I'd want to cover longer ranges with additional lenses anyways. But that option wasn't available when the Mk3 came out, and I totally get why people choose the 24-105.
I'm not sure depth is the thing that movie lacks. But tack on some more, sure, why not?
The problem in this case is the link went to reddit.com.

I first thought this was some announcement reddit was making. I don't mind working for the information, but I don't like misleading information.

There's an odd thing about driveways. If there are no driveways then anyone can park in any spot. (To within limits of residence parking permits, etc.)

But if there's a driveway, then no one can park in front of it, and only the owner can use the driveway. A driveway, therefore, effectively replaces a public street parking spot with a private, personal spot.

From a parking utilization standpoint, it only makes sense to allow driveways and garages if it's very likely that more than one car will park there at times when on-street parking is full. (For example, in one place I rented, we had two cars parked in the side yard and one on the driveway, and did the car shuffle when needed.)

Here's the math. http://www.drivewaytips.com/layout.html says "A single car driveway width should be 10' wide, anything less than 10 feet will be too narrow to drive or park on comfortably. 12' is often used for added comfort and assuring to get out of your vehicle without stepping on the lawn or landscape." Others confirm that 10-12 feet is pretty standard.

In many cities, no parking is allowed within 5 feet of the end of the driveway. Seattle is one, see http://www.seattle.gov/transportation/parking/drivewaymarkin... , where you'll see the 5 feet isn't from the width of the driveway proper but also includes the opening it makes when it reaches a curb.

(Other cities have smaller limits, even down to 0 feet, while others have higher, even 10 feet. 5 feet seems pretty common)

Therefore, a driveway takes about 22' of space on the curb, or perhaps a bit more.

The standard parking space for parallel parking is 24' long for standard or 21' for compact: http://www.danbury-ct.gov/filestorage/21015/21087/21123/2301... .

Effectively, each driveway takes away a public parking spot.

There's also an occupancy issue. Consider a worst-case scenario where someone lives near a park-and-ride train station, but needs to drive to work. In the morning there is a lack of parking spaces, because of people parking to commute into the city. In the evening, there's no problem to find parking. If the resident had no driveway then parking, for the most part, wouldn't be a problem because plenty of spaces are free. For the others, it means one extra spot is available.

Now, put the driveway in and the homeowner has a easier time (eg, call in sick, go to the doctor, and sometimes there's no nearby parking spot for the return), while every single day someone else has a harder time to find parking.
It already is for exports unless you get license. They probably approve it but they left high-assurance security + a bunch of other stuff classified as munitions. The "victory" of the Crypto Wars was for mass market stuff that's basically insecure.

Bit of a strawman on your part.

The stuff contractors got away with in Iraq was ridic, some of that within eyesight of American military. I can only imagine what you could get away with in a worse shithole.

Motion seconded on Unifi. I've just deployed these and they're so far a delight. The PoE (power-over-ethernet) support is great -- if you can get the ethernet cable to the AP's location, you're good. Allows for zero visible cable installations if you have the opportunity to do in-wall cabling.

I did spring for a "Unifi Cloud Key", which is just a small (pack of cards sized), dedicated host for running the Unifi Controller. Makes administration and updates a fair bit easier.

As someone else mentioned, they do require a wired ethernet connection, but the point of that is these are intended as (entry-level) enterprise hardware. Unifi vs. Amplifi is for contexts where 1) the administration overhead isn't a burden and 2) it's preferable to run cable and leave wifi bandwidth available for clients and/or the rich multiple network support (vs. mesh networking). Obviously, #1 means it's not intended for the general consumer market.

Even look at Flickr's top camera usage: https://www.flickr.com/cameras (which has a selection bias towards people who take and upload certain pictures to Flickr)

Think about the number of other places images are taken (and shared!) Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat, etc. etc. I think you might be in the minority when it comes to images.
That's interesting to know. Guess my mental model was "this is work that can be done anywhere on earth, for a Mexican company under Mexican laws, so where the employee is should not matter legally", but if the location of the employee had anything to do with the work they were asked to perform... e.g. go to this event and promote our game, then it should indeed be illegal.
It is phrases and words, accumulated to symbols, that form our thoughts. A whole network is being built upon it which will then be your subconcious mind. It is interesting how much of such phrases one might used to get a simple point across. Like an oyster hiding their pearl. To get to the pearl you need to be well aware so you are not trapped in a shell that is not yours.

> Ok, spin it your way.

I wasn't trying to spin it my way, I was trying to get clarification from you on why you viewed the same events differently than me. Presumably it's either because we believe differently in the magnitude of the offence, or we have different information on the offense, or we attribute the likelihood of truthfulness differently to different portions of the story, or some combination thereof. I'm interested in where differences like that come about, and so my message wasn't meant entirely to refute your stance, but also to stake my own lightly in the hope that you might engage where you thought I was incorrect and explain why you thought so.

> I've already made up my mind as to which is the less disastrous option

That's an interesting way to put it, because to me that sounds like a vote for Hillary, unless you think the status quo is disastrous, and I'm not sure what justification would be used for that. I don't think you meant it that way though, so presumably you have a reason to think a Clinton presidency would be disastrous at this point?

That carpeted look reminds me of my carpeted Holden VR Commodore dashboard. Is there an Aussie on the team?
They're definitely not. They've resisted due process for some time. NSA's reps even argued in Jewel case that judicial branch shouldn't be allowed involvement at all. Which is sort of the status quo for intelligence agencies and courts. Prosecutors similarly have a combo of broad powers, immunity in common abuses, and virtually no accountability. The government as it exists certainly doesn't run in the framework of the Constitution except in a partial way.
This is incredibly cool! I wonder how useful it really is for people not familiar with the subject already. Anyone new to Python care to chime in?

Edward Snowden's revelations were made in 2013. The Yahoo story concerns events of 2015, and programs specifically begun in 2015.

Ed Snowden's good. But he's not Timelord good.

The Yahoo revelations are new, and material. And exceptionally bad for Yahoo, Verizon (who've their own dark history of mass surveillance participation), and Mayer, who took on a tough job with a sinking ship and based on latest information made it worse and the holes bigger.

I have a hard time seeing how this doesn't implicate the entire SAAS / centralised services Web world by association, particularly with the lack of comment from other vendors.
I think it would work like a tagging feature. So if you make a post, you can put a tags on it like #weapons and #politics anyone subscribed to those tags could see your post and reply to it.

Not sure how to prevent balkanization though, undoubtedly people will post to #politics-antidisestablishmentarianism and whatnot.
To have your mass transit beholden to corporate interests is the problem.

I'd be much less concerned if governing bodies created a non-profit that built and ran the technical infrastructure for ridesharing.

It's because (correctly, in my view) we value human life more than animal life. Killing an animal in a humane way is not morally wrong; killing a human usually is.
I'm not sure what's so risky about it. Project Fi just uses T-Mobile and Sprint, it's not a separate network.
> they are the closest modern equivalent to horses

I'm not sure how you're making this comparison, but if we're gonna compare machines to horses, the bicycle was invented in the 19th century to compete with horses, before automobiles were invented.
King-Kopetsky syndrome. Damnit, so that's what it could be. Gotta have that checked out.
Another possible interpretation of the data (as presented) is that it reflects the interest / ability of those particular camera owners in stripping EXIF data. Or, from the other side, the interest / ability of owners of low- or non-listed cameras in doing same.

Consider DPReview's reader's awards for 2015[1] - Sony A7R II, Olympus E-M5 Mk II, Nikon D7200. Not suggesting this is a qualitatively better measure, given it's on a photography-centric web site, but it's significantly contradictory to the results in this article.

Anyway, it'd be nice to see what subset of these 11,000,000 images contained no EXIF data at all (the page doesn't include the string 'exif', and there doesn't appear to be a 'no information found' category).

Facebook reports ~300,000,000 new photos uploaded daily - obviously 99% of those are likely camera phones, but it does put this 11 million number in some perspective.

Yes, I studied Latin in the US. I haven't read Cicero particularly; I've read a denunciation of Catiline. The bulk of my reading was Virgil, followed by Caesar and a smattering of poets such as Catullus and Martial.

My experience of "the written Latin of today" in terms of European scholarship is that, while it is recognizably Latin, it is much easier for me to understand than Latin written by Romans is. This is not surprising, as it is a foreign language to the authors and their world is closer to mine than classical Rome is. I have very little experience with church Latin, but I've assumed it is more similar to scholastic Latin than it is to classical Latin, since, like scholastic Latin, it is a foreign language to the speakers and fills basically the same social role.

> bigger vehicles and fixed routes are simply more efficient at transporting a lot of people in dense environment

Sure, for the most heavily travelled routes. Some fraction of trips—those where you're going to the same place, from the same place, at the same time as a bunch of people—fall in that category. Daily commute from a dense suburb to a metropolitan city center. Weekend trips from a dense city to a popular beach.

But for the majority of trips, a giant empty bus running several blocks away in the slightly wrong direction is far from the most optimal transport method, especially if you have a fleet of various sized driverless cars.

Centralized routes and large fixed vehicle size are generally not going to be a good thing for efficiency once we have autonomous driving.
We could dispatch psychological support units in this kind of life-threatening emergencies.
Yeah, and unlike gaming VR, I think mobile VR has the potential to truly catch on and spread. It's cheap (80$ vs. 600$+), it's easy to use (no wires or crazy rig needed), and you can use it anywhere (lay on the bed, use outside).
This project has been a labor of love for me over the last 2.5 years. I'm interested in any feedback you have, and happy to answer any questions!
Everybody and their dog wants to work as a game dev. Nearly every program to get kids interested in programming involves games. Nearly everybody who gets into programming does so because they like games and think that this makes game development a fine career choice.

By supply and demand, you should expect a price of roughly zero. In other words, it's a hobby. Enjoy it, have fun, and do something else to pay your bills.
This is your fallback then:

> 10. Want nothing, accept everything

> Above all, explore the world without desire or demand, and be tolerant of whatever happens. Most people are nice, and even the others teach us. When you want nothing, you cannot be disappointed. When you accept everything, you will see beauty in every moment.
I always have trouble when telling people in person to go watch this - how should I pronounce the "J" in Javascript?

* SPOILER ALERT, and seriously go watch it first *

If I pronounce "J" I do him an unjustice, and if I pronounce "Y" I ruin a great surprise that comes quite a few minutes into the talk.
But that's just the problem with the modern proliferation. Finding a developer who is proficient enough in all of the frameworks you might be using is difficult. It's not enough just to have a JavaScript developer, you have to specify about 20 frameworks that you are using. It's not possible to train everyone in all of these, so then, even your framework system becomes personal, because it is setup to your personal choices (much like a custom function!). Since new people can't reasonably be required to fully understand the totality of the system, they will still come up with personal hacks, precisely because the set of things to know is too large.

Remember, they don't know which part of the framework you are using or not, or which parts are important or not, so even if you are using it for one little thing, they probably have to learn most of it to understand how it interacts. Since so many frameworks overload standard functionality, it is impossible to know how a framework interacts with your code until you know all of these things.

Using 20 frameworks is about as efficient use of your time as having one you built yourself. The sweet spot for a medium-sized application is using 2-4 (maybe a few more if they are really standard or do really specialized functionality - i.e., a PDF library) for the most critical components, and still maintaining the remaining quirks yourself.

So, for example, Ruby-on-Rails + Bootstrap + JQuery goes a very long way, and doesn't put an undue burden on people trying to get to know your code.
Off topic, but e-gads Google, 3mb and 13 seconds to load? Glad I didn't do that on my phone.
This is an instance of a specific executive, specific betrayal of user interests, and a specific mode of betrayal.

Meyer is toast.

I'll agree that the general level of trust evinced by corporate America is low, but there is considerable variance within that domain.
I have found this resource to be extremely useful in going over data structures and algorithms to prepare for interviews. Although the author doesn't always conform to the standard implementations of certain data structures and often is overly verbose in his code, it is a pretty robust treatment of the basics
> Terminate processing and pass the error back up the call chain. This is basically what exceptions do, and basically what 'if err != nil { return err }' does.

The function in question that could return an error is being called in the main function. Who are you going to pass it to, exactly? error is a not a return value on main. If you knew what the error could be, you might find a suitable workaround under those conditions. But since the error does not even exist for you to handle, about all you can do is terminate the application. Which is exactly what will happen in this circumstance anyway, even if you don't check the error result.

I'm still not clear what you are really going to meaningfully do with the error information here even if you did magically start getting errors against the compatibility promise? If you are going to handle errors, you actually have to know what you want to do with them. The following adds nothing to your code.

if err != nil {
// I didn't expect that. Oh well.
}

It's not like anyone is suggesting you should avoid checking errors in all circumstances. We're talking about very specific cases where all of the conditions are known. If GET stops being an HTTP request method, or http://example.com/ is no longer a valid URL, you've got way bigger problems than not gracefully handling the world flipping upside down.
And in a lot of places, it'll come for free with the phone. I know Fi is doing it, and I think Verizon might too. I know friends that got Gear VR for free along with their Samsung phones.

Too many great talks to mention, but if I had to pick one it would be Ted Nelson's few minutes of demonstration of Xanadu. Demonstration is lacking, but what he said about the concept/idea is what stuck with me. Deep and referential(?) content. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=En_2T7KH6RA
EDIT: I as well assumed you were referring to Sun Tzu. I can't speak to whether my comments hold for Machiavelli's at all.

If you've lumped "The Art of War" into the same category in your mind as Ayn Rand's writings, I suggest you to read it. You may find yourself pleasantly surprised. Aside from being both commonly cited as influential (in greater or lesser unfortunate ways), there's really about zero similarity between the two.
Your first sentence assumes we know the assassins' motives. I question that.

Your second sentence assumes that any assassinations would be publicly known (eg assassination of a public figure). Assassination of non-public figures may well be impactful and yet go largely unheeded.
mmh. what about Security? If they download locally via imap all your email for all your accounts or there is something more. anyway it is nice to read on Security page "Oauth2 over IMAP/SMTP "
There are security implications: How do you provision a cert for it? Do you really want it running a full web server?

The native application is pretty great, because I can manage it from anywhere. (Which includes managing my parents one from anywhere.) I've honestly not needed a web interface, after getting used to it.

A web interface is reportedly on the roadmap, but not a high priority. The last time it came up on reddit, the question asked by the PM was "how would you use it differently than the native app?" And the nice thing is, he takes those suggestions and feedback seriously.
They often come free if you sign a longer contract.
There are a few jurisdictions that take it to another level. Some governments will sue on behalf of the aggrieved employee. There it is a government taking action to recoup funds and any assigned penalties, not an employee. Third parties (is Valve/steam) can also be sued if they hold funds/property.

(From British Columbia, a typical such jurisdiction.)

"If a third party is or will be indebted to a person who is required to pay money under a determination, the Branch may demand that the third party pay all or part of their indebtedness directly to the Branch."

"The Branch may seize personal or business assets of a person required to pay under a determination, settlement agreement or order to satisfy the amount owing and the costs of the seizure. The Branch may direct the Court Bailiff to seize assets to recover the amount owing. "
