First: Don't talk about yourself they don't care.

Second: Talk about business to them. For example talk about how many more products they're going to sell because of your solution. I always ask, "So how is business going?"

I also do my homework on the business. I look them up on the Linkedin, twitter etc. (and I read up on them seriously) and see what their office looks like on Google Maps. If they're successful then I want to work with them. If they're struggling I don't work with them. I used to work with a ton of clients who didn't even make one sale. Once I targeted the right customers all I had to prove was that I can increase their business and make an impact.

Last: Be different. Make sure that everything you say to them is the first time they've ever heard it. This is critical because if you sound like every other person sending cold emails or cold calling etc. you'll get sent to the spam folder.

Reading those books teach you lessons you'll never learn unless you've been in the author's shoes. So by reading these books you get to look over the shoulder of giants and use their knowledge in your business.
No, it's pretty well known that Assange claims to have a vendetta against HRC. The details of that vendetta don't make much sense. It's clearly easier for him and his supporters to claim that they're acting out of enmity towards Clinton --- a minor figure in virtually all of Assange's dealings with the US --- than to simply cop to the fact that they are aggressively and overly supporting Donald Trump.

Nerddom and the left (and I'm somewhere in the overlapping circles on that Venn diagram) have a powerful rooting interest in Julian Assange and Wikileaks, who many of us see as a vanguard of an effort to disrupt politics and the media, both of whom we as a demographic have little respect for. The simple fact is that Assange is campaigning for Donald Trump. But that's very hard for us to admit, regardless of the amount of evidence we're confronted with.
Check out real estate investment trusts. I think you may get your residual that way.
I spent the last 2 hours of every work day using VIM, regardless of how much longer it took to work on things. By the end of the week, I could jump into vim after lunch. When I started using ':x' in TextMate I knew it was time to leave.
As far as I can tell the amp-img tag doesn't add anything that img doesn't already support. The page simply mentions some vague statement about needing to understand the page layout, but uses the same attributes as img.

Surely Assange or someone has a smartphone. If that's cut too, you can be sure it's something big.
Yeah, I don't know why scholars approach ancient texts as though figurative writing was not available to them, and that their words can be taken at face value, without a need for understanding a variety of applicable contexts.

China's Shenzhou 11 blasts off on space station mission
"The U.S. Intelligence Community (USIC) is confident that the Russian Government directed the recent compromises (1) of e-mails from US persons and institutions, including from US political organizations (2)"

1. Covers any timeframe. "Recent" does not mean anything. It could refer to attacks 10+ years ago.

2.1 The first assertion is Russia has directed attacks. This is then a list of things that have been targeted. Point 1. then can refer to any in this list. It is highly plausible that Russia has targeted private or public US citizens, or institutions "recently" for any number of reasons.

2.2 Which political organisation is it referring to? This could be any number, why not explicitly name DNC if this is what they are referring to?

>If you're not able to explain what you mean, can you at least think of an alternative wording that would be unambiguous?

"The U.S. Intelligence Community (USIC) is confident that the Russian Government directed the compromise of the DNC and Podesta systems that resulted in the leaks currently being reported on."

Essentially. If an example can be produced which is fully in line with these statements, which is not "Russia behind DNC hack" then it is not an assertion of this fact.

Edit:

>Also, why would legalese be necessary here? What court is the US government worried about?

Because if the DNC/Podesta hacks turn out not to be directed/carried out by Russia, an insider leak for example, then credibility of the group plummets.
To slightly throw a spanner in the works, the word for an egg yolk in Thai is "ไข่แดง" (kai daeng). ไข่ = egg, แดง = red. I've no idea why they use red here.

This isn't a color disagreement. The Thai word for red is otherwise identical to the red English speakers know of, and there are other words for the actual colors of yolks (i.e. yellow or orange) and Thai chickens don't produce red yolks :(
That's a really good point actually. Perhaps Project Euler has a CS association where it doesn't really belong because it's often mentioned in CS/programming challenges threads, even if it's not intended to be the focus of the exercises.
It took me a while to realize what really vim is for. What led me to realization was switching to Emacs. I read this post, and second checkbox says "modern customizable IDE". And I stopped there. Why you may ask? Well, I used Vim for 3 years before trying Emacs this spring. And I loaded it with all the heavy plugins(YCM), but Emacs led me to realization that Vim is more of an editor than IDE. Even with plugins I think it just doesn't even come close to Emacs, which has really nice ecosystem and plugins that are spot-on IDE feeling (ENSIME, CIDER, Alchemist etc). When I configured Vim again few days ago I realized how I misused Vim. My init.vim had about 150 lines of code, with few plugins, and now it felt right. Just like it felt right to customize the living hell out of Emacs. Again, this might be just my perception of things, some other people like it the other way, different flavors for different people, but it is how it felt right for me personally, after trying to understand philosophies and surroundings in which these wonderful pieces of software were made.

Agreed. I can't help but think back to a black ceramic watch I purchased. The metallic black color and finish were pretty amazing (and it didn't really scratch) but it took a whole 2 months until it slid off a table and the entire band shattered on the floor. Some of the links were replaceable but some weren't. I think I still have the leftovers in a shoebox somewhere. I'm not sure I want my phone to be that fragile.
I thought I was being a slightly cynical, but I had completely forgotten the story you mention. I am now approaching despondency; why would I bother watching a HRC State of the Union speech or press conference, when I don't believe anything she says?

Ad hominem. His views of climate change have nothing to do with tragedy of this family court case. Why do you bring it up?

If you want to challenge the story, present other sources with the other view point. Don't go after one messenger, and use prior bad or not-bad acts to cast the journalist in a negative light. That's very not helpful.

Yes yes, a series of bad journalism can show a pattern and that's how prosecutors go after organized crimes and serial killers. But don't pretend there are bias and unbias journalists. Everyone has a bias. Most of what we see is propaganda and not news.
Well to be fair, media organizations like CNN have legal departments staffed with experts ready to fight on this type of stuff. You and I probably do not.

There is also the famous Pentagon Papers case, which to my knowledge rests on the "freedom of the press" language in the First Amendment.

That said, this was a stupid thing for the CNN anchor to say. Regardless of the law, no federal prosecutor is going to waste their time trying to find and prosecute every U.S. citizen who visits the Wikileaks website.

RE: Housing - I've always had a gut feeling that tying your money into an asset like that is a terrible idea because of the infinite number of potential money sucking risks along the way. It seems like something you'd 'get rich' off of on paper, but when you try to sell for that price you'll find nobody is buying. Don't want to end up in that position and again, that's just a gut feeling, didn't really read up on it.

Whataboutism is papering over your own deficiencies by claiming that others are the same or worse. It's not whataboutism to point out logical inconsistencies in the same legal system.
In a very rare exception to Betteridge's Law, I'd say the answer to your question is probably yes. The more interesting question is how long they'll be able to get away with it. As others point out, the mods already try to detect and prevent abuse of the upvote/downvote mechanisms. OTOH it's not clear how well automated that process is, or how effective their efforts are. It certainly seems to me that coordinated upvoting and downvoting are still pretty much par for the course on this and any other similar site.
The problem is that if you don't make them automatic, people won't install them. Microsoft spent most of the Windows XP era with people being bitten by problems which had been patched in many cases years before.

The approach they've taken of making things mandatory is clearly not universally popular but most of the arguments about it tend to ignore the fact that it was designed to solve a very real problem which affected millions of people.
The Benefits of a Herpes Infection
Time will tell. You could be right, you could be not. I believe that if Assange says something that is not truthful that reflects bad on Ecuador (one possible explanation is that Ecuador blocked his access) that they would make a statement if what he said was incorrect. And I'd believe them over Assange if that's what it came to.
What do you mean? I just watched at the project and it looks pretty promising to me? The AMP Product team rejected AMP as failure? If you got some links, i would be interested. all the best
> having the site served from the same, already-open, probably pre-fetched connection

So, the bottleneck is really the connection setup time? Seems to me, that http2 largely solves that problem, while html already supports prefetch.

Don't kid yourself, the goal here is a better web locked into the google ecosystem.
> Uses the money you donate towards helping people, not salaries and marketing.

How exactly do you intend to spend money helping people if not paying salaries? Any time you spend money you're paying for either a product or service, and either way that money goes for paying people's salaries. (Unless you just want to give money to people directly as basic income or whatever.)

The spirit of Occam's Razor is that the simplest explanation is probably the correct one.
I think the Socratic method is a much better teaching device. Dogma is the opposite of teaching you to think for yourself. Dogma says "Follow these principles and you'll write good code, don't question it!". Principles need to be challenged and proof needs to be provided how and in what way they are really "best practices". The black and white thinking of dogma are the very reasons why many religious groups don't progress with the modern world and insist they know better than everyone else without having to explain why. Not trying to diss all religions, but I was raised in a very strict one and group-think and anecdotal evidence is used to justify poor decision making. I'd rather be a critical-thinking programmer than a principle-obeying one.

I did this last year by accident, after a layoff from a high intensity but failing startup. Easily one of the most productive, eye opening, bucket list kicking experiences of my life. I ended up doing 6 months, traveling, starting a company, got CELTA certified, met a woman who turned my perspective on dating upsidedown, and generally was much happier.

Oddly though, all of my personal coding projects went almost immediately into the bin. I didn't have the motivation to push them when I was employed and lost all motivation when I didn't touch the field on a daily basis.

I've started using this extension, and so far it's great. A few suggestions:

* As you said - statistics. I'd like to know how many times I've tried accessing a site, and if I went through with it

* More scheduling options (by the day, disjoint periods)

* Safari extension

Thanks for making this!

Yep, and of course you have very different design goals for a submarine than you would have in a fixed installation (long time between refuelings, compactness, etc). They're also based on designs which were intended to breed plutonium.

There's a lot which we could improve on if we were doing a clean-slate redesign of our nuclear power infrastructure with an eye towards power generation rather than military purposes.

Unfortunately it's very difficult to realize those reforms with the rampant NIMBYism surrounding nuclear power. We can't even build plants that use upgraded versions of existing technology let alone plants that are running on novel technologies. They sometimes get pilot plants but they never make it out of the prototype stage.
There is Assange's alleged Russian sponsorship [1]. The lack of Wikileaks activity critical of Russia and the attribution of some of its content to Russian intelligence operations [2] supports that.

1. Agreed that people today banking on returns of 10%, or even 6%, are quite likely to be disappointed. I'd plan with a 3% real return assumption, and put in a substantial buffer, and also plan with at most 3% safe withdrawal rate (see Trinity study [1]).

2. This in turn means that you have to accumulate, say, at least $1m (in today's dollars) at retirement, to live on a modest $2500 a month.

3. This in turn means that you have to put aside basically $1100 a month for 40 years.

3b. In other words, whatever your target retirement income stream is, you'll have to set aside about half of that over your working life.

3c. Another way of looking at it is that you should put basically a quarter to a third of your income into retirement saving.

4. Disagree that startups are the best option for most people. While the average return might be high, this is skewed by a few super successful ones. I posit that the median return is rather mediocre. Thus, startup might maximise your chance to retire super early and opulently. However, to maximise your chance to reach a certain (more modest) level of retirement income, living frugally with a "normal" well paying job might be best.

5. A further problem I see with your "startup" suggestion is that it cannot work for everyone - if everyone pursued startups, there'd be no one to run the actual economy.
However, if everyone reduced their consumption and ramped up their savings rate as much as I'd suggest, the economy would most likely collapse, as well. So, I dunno.

Nice article comparing the "easy to plot". I've missed something comparing the quality of the generated plots. I don't have a lot of experience using the libraries, but I've used matplotlib and was impressed with the low quality of the defaults. I've thought we all would live by now in Tufte's wonderland, but the graphic defaults aren't very good.

Do you have any suggestion on a lib that generates high quality images?
Certainly not. He is not under any kind of arrest, but freely and voluntarily visiting his Ecuadorean friends.

Why should that count towards any prison term?

BTW, I don't think Assange would really face prison in Sweden. My best guess of what would have happened had he been extradited to Sweden:

An interview, being held a few weeks, then released to a country of his choosing.

He is inside the embassy because he likes the martyrdom that his followers clearly recognize. Not because there is any factual reason for it.

What are the countless and extremely illegal and unethical things?
My first was where people pay for product with source + perpetual license (copyright and patent) for that release + GPL-like rights to fix or extend it for their own purposes. Even distribute those to community of paying users.

Interestingly enough, similar models seemed to be more common back in the dark ages of computing before terms like Open Source and Free Software were really a thing, particularly on minicomputers and mainframes. It made its way to the "microcomputer" world in more limited fashion, then sort of slowly died out. But I think there may still be something to the notion of a license that, while not remotely meeting the definition of "free software," still gives you access to the source.

I'll be honest, though; I think FOSS advocates have a tendency to (perhaps unconsciously) downplay how important "free as in beer" has been for the adoption of a lot of major software projects. An internet in which Apache, MySQL, PHP, and other major free software projects were released with commercial "source included" licenses would probably look very different.

I have my own thoughts about RethinkDB's failure as a commercial entity, but despite having actually been inside, I have pretty limited insider knowledge. Perhaps we should have been trying to push an "enterprise edition" with guaranteed support much earlier, following the "charging for OSS stuff" line you mentioned; as others have said, maybe we just didn't have enough avenues through which to give us money. (It's hard not to notice that MariaDB's .com site is essentially page after page of ways to give them money, for instance.)
> The simple fact is that Assange is campaigning for Donald Trump.

One possible explanation for this is that Assange will support the candidate that he believes will hurt US interests most.

What about those without pensions? Homemakers, minimum wage earners? Is it fair to ask them to pull their own weight past retirement age?
I really like Lazard's summaries of LCOE (levelized cost of energy), which includes the cost throughout the lifetime of a generation source:

https://www.lazard.com/perspective/levelized-cost-of-energy-...

They also have a separate analysis for the cost of energy storage by various means, which is also awesome.

Given the long lifetime of nuclear plants, the huge upfront costs for a single project, and the rapidly plunging costs for renewables and storage, nuclear seems like a risky financial proposition, personally, and I think most utilities and investors appear to agree. I think that by 2030, PV solar and storage will be cheaper than nuclear, as well as being far more dispatchable and decentralized.

I wish we had built a lot more back in the 80s, as that would have cut off so much of our emissions over the past 30 years.
