Highly relevant to your two-point example:

Most people probably ran out of time when drawing the carrier
Ah, you're right, disk IO is one I hadn't considered too. I"m so used to availability of cheap VPS and SSD I'm not sure the last time I used actual shared hosting myself.

Those sorts of shared hosting plans have a funny way of disabling your site if you get a big surge of traffic, despite the 'unlimited' claims.

I was told once, "Yes, your plan is unlimited, but not infinite.' when I had a post on a long forgotten site go mildly popular.

I suppose on those types of machines the sheer number of connections would get you in hot water too, especially if they're running vanilla apache and it starts burning through memory there.
I'm not saying that the carriers themselves are useless - just that the rest of the forces are being run down to a point where it's not clear that they can be manned, have aircraft to operate from them or enough escorts to defend them.

The only way I can see them being used is as part of a US fleet possibly even carrying US aircraft. So we manage to build some carriers exactly at the time the US looks like it might be less interested in precisely the kinds of wars we might get dragged into. Leaving aside the fact that the domestic appetite for getting involved in unnecessary wars seems at an all time low.

For humanitarian work, an RFA vessel seems more appropriate - e.g. the help with the Ebola outbreak last year:

Yes, if govt decides to tax some lifesaving drug at 10000%, you should sue them.
> We need more people doing and less people complaining. Some may consider it stupid to sue, but if this is the only solution, why not?

Some may consider it stupid to elect Trump, but obviously tens of millions of people felt it was the only solution.

I actually agree with you. Whatever you think of this suit or this election, I think we can agree that there are some situations in which you have no "good" recourse, and have to resort to whatever is there to make your point/stand.
Also, there tend to be far more pedestrians and cyclists in a city who are far more vulnerable even in a low-speed accident than one between two cars.

No problem, happens to the best of us.
I will customize demo page soon for sure. Thanks.
Interesting insights! I would love to hear more in how you exactly you bridged ObjC <-> Go.

Do you mean you just ship a compiled Go binary as part of your app and interact with that? If yes, did apple not say anything about it during review?

I saw that you can call Go in mobile apps [0]. I'm wondering if that's also applicable for desktop apps

> It's not the only solution, and government didn't create it. People are causing global warming, not government. It's people who decide to use cars and get stuck in traffic instead taking a bus, bus will go that route anyway, people in cars will cause more traffic and generate more pollution.

This is what's wrong. The government is supposed to be the people. The point of government is for people to steer people (as a collective) in the right direction.

I wouldn't go that far, but I would say for a company that likes to shout so loudly about environmental waste they sure like to make disposable unmaintainable devices these days.

>Humans usually can't do your 2.

I think we do. We see a building we've never seen before and we know it's a building because it has certain features that we use to classify it as a building. The examples aren't scarce.

I also think a good indicator of us doing it is the use of "y" and "ish" and "sort".

>How soon we forget: Google Glass actually collaborated with Diane von Furstenberg (a famous fashion designer) and did a launch party at New York Fashion Week.

They still courted the tech press massively though, none of us remember that fashion week launch. But we all remember the guy screaming in the shower and Sergey on stage wearing Glass with Crocs.
I have been asked a couple of times to do things that were unethical, never illegal but certainly unethical. I resigned on the spot in both cases. I feel this is how professionals should act.

When asked in my interviews why I left I stated clearly that I was asked to do something unethical and resigned as a result when "forced", it was taken positively.

It makes me worry when people think that "Government" is something unrelated to people, like it was an alien structure that just arrived in his country. In democracies, I mean.

Because, you know, it's weird to complain or sue every time that the government doesn't make something you wanted. Because in few years people have the power to elect another set of representatives.

At least as old as Plato:

"I am wiser than this man, for neither of us appears to know anything great and good; but he fancies he knows something, although he knows nothing; whereas I, as I do not know anything, so I do not fancy I do. In this trifling particular, then, I appear to be wiser than he, because I do not fancy I know what I do not know."

The problem with glass was it tried to hide itself.

Spectacles are big and loud, they're the fashion equivalent of your face chanting "WORLD STAR! WORLD STAR!". You're going to be noticed wearing them and people will know what they're in for.

And is likely illegal in many places where using one's phone while driving is illegal. While this wasn't mentioned in Mr Y Aslam, Mr J Farrar and Others -V- Uber (the recent ruling about worker status in England & Wales), it does further add to the argument that drivers are not able to accept or decline rides at will, as if they are driving they are unable to legally decline them.

same for me. I was given "steak" but the only thing I could thin of is that I need to add a hole like in the cartoons, you know like this:

http://www.how-to-draw-funny-cartoons.com/image-files/xcarto...

After I did add the hole, it looked nothing like a steak to me. The only thing I could think of was to put a pan around it. As soon as I started drawing the pan it said, "Oh I know, steak". Makes zero sense to me.

Picture of my drawing:

Does that look like a steak to you? In no way.

Here are the rest of my badly moused submissions if you're interested. I literally had no idea how to draw asparagus.

> On that note, i recall reading about a British project to produce quick rise shelters.

http://www.concretecanvas.com/

Their price (that I could find) quotes on old news sites were insanely high unfortunately (GBP15-20k).

It looks like the shelter use has been relegated to a secondary product vs the main use: rolls of the stuff for construction uses.
The government already grants monopolies on lifesaving drugs that causes the price to go up more than 10000%. Although it isn't a tax I don't see how type one of law should differ from another in this scenario.

I used git for many years, and actually still use it extensively to collaborate with git projects, but in the last year or so Mercurial and several of the modern plugins for it have opened my eyes that git is stuck in 10 year old ideas of how DVCS should work.

I used to criticize Mercurial for their half-assed branching, lack of history editing and the refusal to admit that git got this right. But Mercurial has improved (bookmarks, histedit, etc) and git has not, so my feelings have entirely reversed now.
I drew a pretty good approach of Charizard as a dragon and it didn't recognize it (in my opinion way closer than the six best results).

One major annoyance with this. When I get done drawing, I have no idea if something was detected or not. I can't tell if something is supposed to happen or if it's meant to rush me to the next thing. I'm waiting for some feedback or interaction after the drawing.
The same could be said if you refuse to do the work and it's given to any other person who doesn't morally object (off-shore or otherwise).

When I'm a customer on the receiving end of spam like this I often write a reply to the company in question congratulating them on losing my business permanently, and that of anyone who I happen to talk to about their business arena.

But don't you think it may reduce the trolling in comments as there is a less likely hood of one knowing when his/her face is showing more responsibility comes with it?

Also wondering, do you think we will never have video commenting essentially?
First up, you should resign if you're asked to do something unethical (assuming you're in a situation where you can survive for a few months while you get a new job). Because if you don't resign, you're signalling that you're okay with being asked to do things that are unethical.

As for legal recourse, yes you should consult with a lawyer if you've been asked to do something you think is illegal (they can help you report your company to the appropriate authorities). Some larger companies have internal methods of reporting issues, but given the recent activities of Wells Fargo I wouldn't recommend outing yourself as someone who is considering reporting on your company.

As for developers being held responsible, I don't think that most cases will pan out like that (it's not your job as a developer to question whether your manager has checked with your company's legal team). However you should definitely not "just follow orders" if you've been asked to do something you find to be shady or illegal.

Git was originally not meant to be used by humans, as the man page of git(1) still reflects today: git - the stupid content tracker

The interface that humans should use would have been cogito, but after some time there was no interest anymore in this and it was discontinued.

Yeah it seemed to make the correct guess a liiiitle too fast for me.
Well, if they don't provide a way to unsubscribe it is actually illegal to do what they did, and could be fined per email sent. Given the situation you described I kind of doubt they did.

As for the terms and conditions violations, aka selling / using information - you're not going to get them. People stopped expecting privacy a while ago, and every conversation ive had on the subject the past three years always goes something along the lines of: "I always expect all my data to be given out and used"

If you don't want that to occur don't use the internet or use a company you trust. For example, I trust a university to keep my data secure because it's legally obligated to. Similarly, I trust most products I pay for, I don't trust pretty much any other app.
Yes, thanks, Plato, quoting Socrates, the later defending himself

> I don't want regulation and lobbyists pushing their tech onto me as a solution. If anyone has advice, I think this is a great thread to share thoughts.

This is a prime example of how free capitalism will never regulate itself. Sure, you can vote with your dollar from what you know, but odds are you'll never find out about most of the crap a company pulls.

Too much regulation is obviously stifling to innovation as well. I don't have an answer, but I believe the solution lies somewhere in the middle, as with most things.

Git is the reference implementation of a protocol

In reality this "reference implementation" is the sole interface 99% of the users use, so the lack of UX is an issue.

There are other tools that do it better and right, so insisting that there's any redeeming qualities to git here is being blind to the obvious. There's actual academic research describing git's problems here, for crying out loud.

Qotom boxes are great! I run one as a router with pfSense, and it gives me no trouble. If I ever start using my TV again, I plan to get another for media center use.

One note of interest: depending on the shipper, you may need to pick it up in person, as photo ID may be required if it comes through customs. This was no issue for me since the DHL depot at BWI is less than a mile from the light rail stop - I even got to see a couple of 777 and 747 freighters up close! - but may be inconvenient depending on shipper and depot location. Still very much worth it IMO - the price/performance of Qotom hardware is extremely impressive, and nothing I could more easily source compares.

Easy: I ring the anonymous freephone number that's on posters around our offices expressly set up for this exact purpose.

To anyone who is concerned about these questions, and has a position of influence at your company: could your reports answer this question so quickly and easily? If not, why not?
The tricky bit with this task is context. For example, my 'spider' sucked big time, and I started trying to draw a web right at the end (before running out of time). This is exactly how I would play 'Pictionary', with plenty of big arrows pointing to the part of the drawing representing the word. However, that really isn't appropriate when trying to train a neural net to recognise abstract images.

Similar complexities arise in relation to perspective (should 'bridge' be side-on or top-down?) and even something as obvious as homonyms (I drew 'nail' as the small metal thing you use to hang a picture, but I'm sure others would have drawn the thing at the end of a finger).

I guess my point is that this comes across very much as a game (maybe that's all it really is), which will probably give poor 'neural net training' results, as opposed to if it weren't a game - e.g. by increasingly the ridiculously short time limit. I'm sure the results will still be interesting, but I think they'll end up very abstract rather than very accurate - maybe we'll just 'invent' a new set of logograms.
I'm the chairman of the board of a local society of computer scientists. We have bylaws that describe a code of conduct for members governing their work.

1. Let honesty govern your work
2. Heed professional responsibility
3. Do not accept gain from a third party, except with full knowledge of your employer/contract partner
4. Do not ever use confidential information from an employer of contract partner without informed consent
5. Increase your professional capabilities
6. Make sure your conduct is an exemplar of membership
7. Share your experience with other members

We host meetings once or twice a month where members or guests hold lectures on varying IT topics.

I don't know if tech in Iceland is such a small community that it tends to keep people honest or that transgressions like this happen all the time and are not spoken of. I like to think our members are ethical in their work.
I noticed that when you search on Google for example "why are the french so", the suggestions you get are pretty much… stereotypes.

Also, the website is open source, and here is the code: https://github.com/getkey/stereotype-map
