I would rather have some trust in the official RBI's figures, because they are accountable unlike some website.
And it's not all existing buttons. For example you can't map either of the stick clicks or the start/back buttons to the paddles.

Another annoyance is there is no quick way to switch more than 2 configs. I would love to be able to set it up like the SC where you can map the config to a specific game so it is alway set correctly.

I had the same problems as you with the Steam Controller.

I was one of the first customers to get one and used it to play through Portal 2 (which was bundled with it) and really liked the experience. Playing a little bit Civ 5 in between was also good.

After that I sold it (even with a small profit) because it felt cheap but mostly because it lacked a rechargeable battery and headphone jack, both of which the Xbox One controller has (and every modern controller should have).

I would buy one if they shipped it with a rechargeable battery, headphone jack and a build quality comparable to the Xbox One controller (which is really gread imho) for around the same price.
NYC did this in 1938 with the Bronx High School of Science. That school has produced eight Nobel Prize winners.
I agree with both sides here. AMA protectionist? Yes. Absolutely. That is their #1 goal even if they don't write that one down.

But I'm not sure opening up the gates is exactly what we want either. There are countless examples of charlatans trying to push the line here, and as a consumer, it would be too difficult, especially while fighting a serious disease, to tell who can really help me and who just wants my money.

There are better ways to make healthcare more affordable and more effective than to throw away the idea of proper certification.

For instance, some states (like the one in which I live) have granted more powers to nurse practitioners. I support this move.
For comparison, 30g of sugar (1 oz) are 4 or 5 sugar sachets. You don't put 5 sugar sachets in a cup, because it's too much. You don't put the equivalent of 5 sugar sachets of instant coffee in a cup, because it's too much!You don't put the equivalent of 5 sugar sachets of pure caffeine in a cup, because it's too much!!
Could Atom be used as an on/offline web application, entirely in the browser?
Atom is developed primarily with web technologies, so the leap shouldn't be too large, should it?

My internet these days is excellent. I have a 150mbps connection that is always stable.

I also use multiple devices: a laptop, a desktop, a tablet, a phone (with a keyboard).

If Atom (or something like it) were made available as a web service, all these devices could be effortlessly synced to share settings and of course, code.

So what is stopping this future, lack of interest, or technological limitation?

Here in NYC, Verizon was the despised NYNEX.

Anesthesiology is one of those things that you'd think even classical control theory would be able to do given enough effort. You'd think... but not so! Apparently jobs that people go to med school to learn how to do require tremendous amounts of effort to automate. Who would've thought? ;-)
Gko/listbox:  listbox element for bash
I think it's important not to overlearn the lessons of this election wrt data and predictions. Most national polls were off by only a point or so. The polls in WI, MI and PA were off by a few more. As Nate said on a recent podcast "If you give me a national opinion poll, I'm inclined to believe it. If the poll is specifically from Wisconsin, I may be more skeptical."

Of course, some people built bad models and predicted 90+% chance of winning for Hillary, and those people need to rethink their approach. But this election was not a refutation of polling and modeling as a whole.
OpenShift is an interesting product, because it's not just Kubernetes, but a PAAS on top of Kubernetes packaged as a single solution. As a result you're not using k8s, but OpenShift / Origin. This has pros and cons which mainly boild down to simplicity vs lock in.

Honestly, I'd suggest you shop around, comparing CDK to OpenShift would be kind of like comparing virtual machines to a cloud provider. In that, virtual machines are implemented in a ton of ways, but cloud providers are a platform which abstracts that whole VM layer and provides a product on top of VMs.

Much in the same way we're packaging up and distributing that underlying engine. There's a lot of flexibility with that. You can use Kuberentes directly, you can leverage Helm which is what a lot of the community seems to be moving towards for package management on k8s, and then things like Deis and others implement that PAAS layer similar to OpenShift.

Why I'd recommend this method over OpenShift is the flexibility we afford you. For starters, things like Helm and Deis don't come as a part of CDK but will work out of the box on it. Since it's just delivering Kubernetes the platform. As such, if you try Deis and don't like it, you could try Kel or any other PAAS / tool built to work against vanilla Kubernetes. With OpenShift - you use it and that's the choice you're saddled with.

At the end of the day, take some time to try both. Deis is quite polished and would give you an idea of what to expect from other PAAS solutions. It's built on Helm which is part of Kubernetes so it's less deltas from what upstream is doing.
Surely equity is meaningless if the ship is sinking?
I think we agree on the problems but disagree on the solutions. All students need their needs addressed, not just gifted ones. Every single student is different so having schools that cater to one skill set does a disservice to all students.

We need to focus on using the right techniques for all students, not just the gifted ones.
Pretty sure he signed up because he's a part owner of the cash gate company. If it was important to him to cash gate himself earlier he certainly had the means to implement a crude version of it.
> Why would growth be bounded depending on the cause of that growth?

Totally fair question. I didn't mean specific causes are bounded (it doesn't matter if your conductors are yttrium or graphene), but I wasn't terribly clear. What I mean is that relative-growth gains are bounded in a way that absolute-growth gains aren't.

Relative growth (i.e. cutting better trade deals, capturing more share and profit on what exists) is constrained by existing wealth + wealth growth. So the pie you can steal from other countries, plus the fairly stable ~2% annual increase in the size of the pie. You can do a bit better than that by increasing internal efficiencies, and in fairness Singapore has done well with this - their health efficiency per healthcare dollar is sky-high, and it's not because they're pioneering radical new medicine. But even so, these effects are generally limited by international conditions and the size of your existing inefficiencies. (Again, to be fair, sky-high in China.)

Absolute growth I'm considering unbounded, or bounded at ludicrous heights. It's about increasing the growth rate of the pie (and capturing some/all of that growth). So industrialization, nitrate fertilizers, and similarly ground-breaking tech all let the pie grow faster and produced incredible pie-growth wealth. (Not computerization, an oddity for which I have theories but no one seems to have answers.)

All of which is to say that the larger your nation, in both absolute terms and percentage of globe terms, the harder it is to get rich on relative gains. Discreet banking was worth some relatively fixed percentage of money movement. That created huge wealth in Switzerland (and the Seychelles), but can't be scaled by employing 10x as many bankers. Bridging East and West with free markets, low-corruption governance, and a stable core city was worth some large amount of money for Singapore, but that can't be scaled by developing 10 such cities. These are tricks where you interpose yourself in the middle of an extreme profit flow, and if your group is small enough then collecting your cut at the margin makes everyone rich.

I confess that I'm overstating, though. My personal suspicion is that gross inefficiencies are a defining trait of most economic activity, and China is surely worse than many. So in that sense, it might be possible to pour money into efficiencies like health, education, and (sustainable) infrastructure and reap massive gains. It might be that 2% global annual growth can be locally beaten by just being less stupid, but Singapore and Switzerland were simply too small alter the global stats with their local improvements. So I could be vastly wrong - maybe handing iron rule of China to another Yew could produce 4% or 8% growth every year, even without any special breakthrough.

As for will happen, I think we agree there. Too much fragility, not enough political will.
Actually I think moving diagnostics and other highly technical decisions into ML systems only opens up room for making sure that the humans still involved in the process are maximally empathetic towards their patients.

Right now, a really rude doctor will be tolerated within the system because of their technical knowledge, diagnostic skills, surgical skills, etc. But if all that other stuff is performed by machines, and we just have nurses, etc., there to tend to patients, explain things to them, and generally provide a human touch, I'd expect that very rude human employees would no longer be tolerated.
I think you are confusing between unaccounted income vs. unaccounted income in cash. The amount of unaccounted income (or black money) in cash is 6%.

Just like accounted income, owners do not prefer their unaccounted income to be in cash - they use real estate, gold etc. to park them. This 6% figure is from the Ministry of Finance white paper on black money.
I think the idea would be something along the lines of scale, and locking down an untargeted market. A sort of long-term plan, maybe hoping to corner a huge (greater than 1 billion) population of folks whose families might one day be targetable by ads for purchasing things and are already inside the ecosystem, or merely pulling a 1$ profit off a 35$ dollar phone... times 1.2 billion sales. I mean pie in the sky but I don't think "these people are poor" means there isn't money to be made.

There's also government social welfare contracts to consider, or good faith agreements with a government that allows you to corner a more profitable market (you provided five hundred thousand affordable phones to our people, so we'll let you lay fiber through our country / get through our Great Firewall / whatever).
I think it is a mistake to assume that students with a lower level of academic achievement have nothing to offer students with a higher level of the same.
That's the whole Innovator's Dilemma argument: simplistic, minimal versions of the value propositions of larger products, produced by upstarts, have an uncanny way of stealing the entire market from incumbents. The key thing you said was "I actually prefer Trello over Jira".

The reason that happens is that the incumbent --- along with their most vocal customers! --- is blinded to what 80% of the market wants by the demands of the high-end 20% of the market. Yes, Trello hasn't duplicated the entire Jira product. But it might not need to to capture 80% of the revenue of the market.
One thing that I've seen quite a bit in Europe is people buying "unfinished" homes. They pay a builder to build a concrete structure with a tile roof, and get it plumbed and wired up to code. But then all the interior finishings (and sometimes even the doors/windows) are done by the owners, by trading a couple years of spare time for substantial cost savings.
No, I don't have equity.
Show HN: Build iOS apps with Elm
H-1B Visas: Changes Coming with Donald Trump
This article seems to be totally biased and not entirely aligned to ground reality. It's what the general people call as a "hit job" by the (mainstream) media. Most of the points raised in the article are in line with what the opposition political party - Congress has said, a party universally known for corruption & for playing dirty appeasement politics, a party that has kept India backward & in abject poverty even though it was in power for the last ~70 odd years.

Yes, there were hardships. But Indians can see the benefits in not only black money reduction, but also in decrease in tax evasion, digitalization of the economy & also reduction of terrorism & anti-social elements like mao-ism, naxalism etc.

In any case, I think we should try & maybe fail & learn from this, rather than let the status quo of affairs go on as it has been since India's independence in 1947. This is probably the first bold move ever in Indian economic history.
Please do not misunderstand, I do not think the current system is working, I just don't think segregation is the solution.
I find this stuff fascinating. I also learned something too.

If you look closely at Isidore of Seville’s De Natura Rerum image there is (disturbingly) a planet called Lucifer. Being now terrified, I immediately google around to figure out what is going on in this diagram.

If you notice there are are actual 3 planets that seem odd here: Lucifer, Vesper and Phaeton (Fofton).

Phaeton is the mythical planet between Mars and Jupiter. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phaeton_(hypothetical_planet) Interestingly it was called out in a 10th century manuscript. Likely a visible comet that was thought to be a planet.

Lucifer and Vesper were both Venus. However, in the 10th century people didn't know they were the same planet (possibly). In the later manuscripts you clearly see "Venus". By the 14th century a more scientific approach was in order apparently.

But in the old manuscripts you have the planets "Lucifer" and "Vesper". This idea came from the fact that you can see Venus before the sun rises in the morning and later on after the sun sets in the evening. These were believed (by some i guess) to be different planets, "The morning star" and "The evening star" - Lucifer and Vesper.

Apparently the greeks knew that the two stars were the same planet but called them "Phosphorus" and "Hesperus" (BTW this gives rise to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frege's_Puzzle which is interesting in itself)

Even earlier than that the Cannanites called them "Shachar" and "Shalim". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Canaanite_religion

The cannanite story behind these is a tale of a god rising to the heights of the sun (by day) but falling to the earth by night. It's believed that the text in Isaiah 14 which calls out the name Lucifer is comparing the Babylonian ruler to the myth of the morning star and the hubris that it entails.
Something can be refined and intentional but still annoying and worse than before. They can use whatever math they want, it doesn’t mean that the design is “good” now.

First, “consistency” makes no sense as a design goal for rounded corners! When there are two nested rounded-corner shapes, you never make both curves exactly the same: the outer curve has to be a little different than the inner curve in order for the shapes to look good together. Therefore, iOS should never use exactly the same curve as the device: it should use something that is slightly smaller.

The modified icon shapes are just not “comfortable” to look at. They also don’t blend well with other shapes that appear in the majority of app icons either, like inner circles and straight lines.

What's the moral imperative to brush off the new employer on behalf of someone who made the situation worse than it had to be the first place? I think it's more sentimentality wanting to stick around than morality. Moral justice is done by doing what OP's already told both parties.

> However, to say that segregation of kids should be the norm is a dangerous.

Who said anything about segregation? I think kids/parents should have free choice about which school to go to: advanced/normal, where the school just makes suggestions and the parents can opt-out or in freely. The only way to get forced out of "advanced school" should be failing out.
Unless you're a founder, I'd leave if I were you. You have a responsibility to your family to do the best by them. Good luck!
Pretty URLs in Ruby on Rails with FriendlyId
Thank you.

Developers who jump because they'd rather build from scratch instead of helping maintain and improve an existing solution is irritating.

More power to them, but I respect developers a lot more who stay, fight through legacy code battles, make steps/headway to shift the application to a newer platform that makes practical sense than those who leave.

If your employer refuses to move to a stack you feel is justifiably better, in both business and technical aspects, then I totally understand leaving. If you're leaving because you don't want to maintain a system that's "older" and don't want to take on the challenge of improving it then I agree with your post. I'd rather not have those developers to begin with.
> Go is a language that is a bit tedious to write, no doubt about that, but it's very easy to read. I spend a lot of my time reading other people's code and I really appreciate that.

Figuring out 1000 lines of code that could have been 10 and verbosity caused by a lack of generics is not going to help you understand code quicker. Figuring out what 10 lines of Scala do may take more time compared to 10 lines of go, but that's not a measure of velocity, the information density of go is just too low. At least 10 lines of scala fit on my screen, 1000 lines of go don't.

Code style issues imho are a team issue, if you do reviews these issues can be managed.

Look at Rust, at least they did their homework. With Rust out there I can't see any reason to use Go except maybe their crappy GC.
I realize its a longshot, but if someone can allow me to build a level in a 3D environment by say using an EEG headset (training it so that it knows my patterns for placing walls/etc..) that would be incredible.

> Doctors aren't the ones making these decisions - hospital administrators generally are choosing what to invest in.

Most doctors don't work in hospitals, they work in family practices and most definitely are making the decisions about how their practices operate. Most of us don't go to hospitals to see our doctors, we go our doctors private office.
I don't know that they will disappear; people will be even more desperate to get into white collar professions as more jobs disappear and classes continue to stratify. If we eliminated the ridiculous Federal credit firehose that keeps these bloated organizations alive, then they'd disappear, or at least scale down significantly. It doesn't take a whole lot of infrastructure to teach liberal arts.
Having been to a bunch of different schools, selective, not, public and private, I honestly think the solution to this will be primarily technological. Allowing kids to learn at their own pace with a solid kick towards an interactive textbook of some kind seems like a much better solution than segregation. Let teachers stick to what they're good at (supporting kids) and keep them away from the stuff they suck at (maths). And yeah, this will be biased towards the more self-motivated. But that seems fairer than a one-off arbitrary test determining a huge proportion of your future.

RBI has been unusually silent on this. As of December 10 (21 days before the final date), 80% of the demonetized currency was back into the banks [0]. So, even if you trust the RBI figures - don't keep your hopes high.

I was fortunate when in first grade to be recognized as "gifted" and the school district I went to basically put us all in one class that was separate from the other students. From that point on, we basically had the same students in our classes until high school. In high school, most of had the same core classes together, but we'd be in classes with the regular students for our electives. We all had the same lunchtime and breaks with everyone else.
That is true for distribution-hosted repositories. But how many web sites are there that are like, "Add this line to sources.list, then run this apt-key command, and then run apt-get install our-app." So few people bother to check for a web of trust for the proffered key (or even know how to, or even grok the concept) that there is little functional difference.
Any media reports on this? Really sad that a great human toll was paid for naught.
