I don't think it would have to be free. If they specifically reached out to the NRA to initiate the process, I'd call that pretty gross, whether or not they gave them a break on pricing.
SNAP will be the best short once it crossed $50B market cap.
What about nan? The test '!(x < 0 || x > 1)' will say yes, while 'x >= 0 && x <= 1' will say no.

Or -0 for that matter.
I've found this, and the previous blog posts, to be some very inspiring stories[1][2][3]. Definitely some of the best debugging I've read about.

Why is Uber in that list? They provide a service to consumers in exchange for money, unlike the rest of your examples and Snapchat.
Companies opt-out of advertising on shows or events that revolve around programming they don't feel aligns with their company values. So, when I see the NRA opting into advertising for this event, I see it as sponsorship and support of the message.

If I saw an Exxon Mobile commercial during a climate change documentary, I would take that as tacit support of the subject.

Now, obviously I'm wrong. So can someone explain why this advertising is so valuable to the NRA? I guess it's just trolling.
I'm quite impressed with the Hololens, but keep in mind that it's a totally a first gen developer product, so was better than my expectations. Yes the field of view is a tad narrow, and yes, the gestures still don't pick up at much at they should. But the holograms look stellar, the position tracking is quite stellar, objects that are placed, stay placed very well while you move about, the effect works very well. The floating planets that my kids stuck on the living room ceiling, continue to stay floating there until somebody later comes by and moves or resizes them. I think this device will have a bright future.
He means that in 5 years the company will be worth about the price of one can of Pringles (chips/crisps in the US)
Right. You can sack anybody for anything of course, but convincing the HR department there is low liability for a lawsuit is another thing.
Hmm, other than a communication blunder I don't see the foul here? I don't know how Snapchat advertising works internally, but if the NRA is a known purchaser of advertising, and can choose to target its ads in specific content segments it would seem like Everytown might want to be warned that leaving their ad segments unclaimed means the NRA claiming them is a possibility. Even if the ads get assigned randomly or through some sort of automated process you'd still think a good client relationship manager would want to give his or her (prospective) client a heads up that an NRA ad in their time slot is possible, no? Imagine if he had said nothing, and then the NRA _did_ run ads in the Everytown slot? Would that have been better? If I was Everytown I'd be angry at Snapchat for not warning me that this was a possibility. As far as I can tell, Saliterman did his job, his job just happens to have intersected with an emotional flash point, and is by nature manipulative.

Now, how someone got to his professional level without knowing how to handle this conversation more tactfully is beyond me. And further if he was trying to convince them this was a possibility when it _wasn't_, or some other nefarious ploy then sure - let's jump on the outrage bandwagon, but from that article? Nothing to see here.

> I thought eg salaries there were very low.

It depends. I'm talking more about salary/rent ratio. In Russia I was spending about 30% of my salary for rent (and apartment was big and new and nice). Here I spend about 40%. And apartment is tiny and bad (in comparison).
Then, here I pay much more for broadband ($95, and it is much slower), more for a phone.
And fuel is muuuch more expensive here.

> Again, where is this different? I'd love to go.

Back in Russia, in all companies I've worked at (not top-tier companies) the team was great: they knew a lot of stuff, we were discussing JVM internals during lunch breaks, talked about new things in IT etc. I miss that.
According to their Form 990, Everytown for Gun Safety spends 5.5 million a year on lobbying, legal, and accounting fees. Their advertising budget is another 7 million. They spend 2 million a year on travel. Their top executive earns $350,000. Honestly, they seem to be a pretty well funded charity. I don't think SNAP was in the wrong here.

I wasn't aware of that. I just felt he was a luddite unless I misread gulliver's travels
I'm not really clear why it's a problem to have more than one device plugged into a TV, especially when they're going to have such a different selection of games.
True.

I have to admit, since I switched from Atom to VSCode, I'm also re-evaluating other Microsoft products. I even bought a copy of Win10 (but it wasn't as good as I hoped, haha).

Also, I worked with a few DevOps people who really hated AWS usability and some of them said Azure should be much better.
MY RABBIT POOPED ON ME IN MY INTRO VIDEO
Yes. I've never heard anyone use it in the UK except Aussies and Kiwis.
Part of what they're looking for is likely the chemical signs of a heart attack - if heart muscle is dying off, it's generally detectable in the blood. I suspect part of what they were looking for is BNP: "When your heart is damaged, your body secretes high levels of BNP into your bloodstream to try to ease the strain on your heart." (http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/heart-disease/...)
I relate to this 100%. I'm a lifelong Democrat, but in the last 2 years the culture has changed so drastically, I am being pushed to the center. I'm not alone in this, and it's bad for democrats. They don't realize it just yet.

The over use of "Bigot", "Racist", "Nazi", etc completely devalue the words. They take away their power. 10 years ago nobody wanted to be called a Nazi but now people laugh it off. That's dangerous. We want to be be afraid of being called a racist. We want to discourage it.

When Suzy soccer mom says she wants some stricter vetting for refugees she's not the same as Billy Bob sitting in his cabin planning out the burning of black churches. But the left has gone full throttle in that direction. They take the easy path of calling someone a name rather than defend their position, even if it's perfectly defensible.

These loud voices are drowning out the moderate, reasonable people on the left, and pushing them away. This is a bad long term strategy.
So, it is still decidedly beta (more accurately, alpha), but I wrote and just released http://gibber.it, to allow users to send end-to-end encrypted messages through basically any place in a browser that you can enter text.

I wrote this because it seems to me that the lack of end to end encryption in services like gmail is a problem - it also seems to me that there is no reason to have this service tied to a particular website, or for it to be administrated by another service provider. Accordingly, all GibberIt does is provide the encryption and key exchange - use it on gmail, nytimes comment boards and reddit (all working well so far) - or wherever the hell else you want. It will soon (I hope...) be working on facebook too (their content-security-policy is very strict - rightly so - and I am making the extension compatible with these requirements).

* It currently functions as a chrome extension.

* Sign up, invite connections just like any other social network.

* Encryption is end to end, AES 128 with nonce'd salts.

* Use a password you share with your connection (NOT your login password) to send connection invites - this is used to encrypt your keys during the invite process. (Make sure to accept the return invite! This is how your connection sends his or her keys back to you. Also note that you will likely need to reload any tab running the extension after accepting an invite in order to get the keys to load.)

* Use the chrome extension to encrypt and decrypt messages as you browse.

* I am, by profession, a corporate, software and information lawyer. More about me here: http://www.lawyernamedliberty.com

Demonstration gifs of GibberIt here: https://www.gibberit.com/#!how

Please note that the system is in BETA. Still many tweaks to work out. Use is at your own risk.

Please feel free to ask any questions you may have. I welcome any and all feedback. Love the system? Hate the system? Please let me know.

Edit: Please note that the gibberit homepage - AND NO OTHER PAGE - uses google analytics. This is clearly detailed in my privacy policy. Aside from that, I do not use any tracking software.
"Pringles" is a "pack of chips" (more or less), so basically he means, "a pack of chips" is what the company will become. (this is what i understand :p )
It would be nice to see a timeline of this guys life correlated to his writings. If the writings are isolated, that's one thing. If they occur after being kicked down a well with a "this is SPARTA!!" then that is something else.
Perhaps similarly, no one calls Caesar a misanthrope for 'et tu Brute?'
My opinion (and I know this varies):

* The service is superior to a cab 100% of the time. It's never worse. Ever. The margin of "better" is not small.

* I use to use Uber regularly in three cities[1].

* In one, Orlando, prices from the airport are the same as a cab _but_ the only cars available from the airport are Lux, meaning they are on par with most black car services at a fraction of a black car price.

* In another city, Sydney, Uber x is literally 50% of the price of a cab during "peak" hour (most nights).

* In the third city, NY, Uber X is just slightly less than a cab but the delta in service level is immense.

Yes, I would pay 2x.

1. I'm currently not using Uber. I think this article is doom & gloom with no value, however, I do think that Uber's leadership is transparently fully of ass hats who have no intention of cleaning up the company's culture. I'm sitting out because of the culture and leadership, not because I think they will eventually fail. I hope they fix their shit and succeed for all of the reasons I've outlined.
The whole "getting a physical" annually is purely an old school American thing anyway. I don't know anyone in my country who does this - although apparently nowadays US med associations recommended you go visit a doctor every 5 years or so if you're under 40.

Still, if I walked into a doctor and said "is anything wrong with me?" with no symptoms or obvious indication that this might be so, they would probably take blood pressure, do a breathing test, ask me if anything was actually wrong, and then wonder why I was wasting their time (or maybe ask if I was looking for a medical certificate cos I didn't feel like going to work, heh).
They mean it will be worth nothing
It is a false assumption to say that because socialized healthcare works in some countries, the entire scheme of capitalism is therefore inferior. There are a number of unique aspects of Human health and insurance that make it very difficult to manage using conventional capitalistic means. (Namely that a human cannot be totalled whereas an object can) However, that is not an indictment on capitalism but is instead a consequence of the fact that Human life has no price. Capitalism has no means of appraising the value of priceless things.
I would much rather carry a Switch and an iPad rather than something that amounts to an iPad with awful tacked on gaming controls, with the kind of games the iPad is known for.

Multipurpose portable utility computing platforms are all well and good, but in a general sense are a jack of all trades and master of none.

I prefer to read on a kindle. I prefer to type on a laptop. I prefer to watch movies on an iPad. I carry my DS in case I want to game. I also carry a DSLR in case I feel like taking photos.

I can guarantee I get more work done on my laptop on the train than the guy with his iPad, and I take better photos than the guy with his phone out. I like to think I enjoy the gaming I do on the train more than the people playing bejewelled to pass time.
Shareholders aren't impressed by "our quarterly losses only burned through a tiny portion of our stockpile", though. The pressure on Nintendo to deliver with the Switch is quite high.
They expect the value of the company to be equivalent to the value of a can of potato chips; approximately $0.
Employees take a risk. First, they don't have to work for your startup. They could go to work for BigCo and have a secure paycheck. Second, they get options for common stock which vest over years. Generally that first year is at will.
Very cool. I did read the article but I missed that speed was important, so the custom solution was an excellent choice.

Another idea might be to use Varnish for the caching layer, but I haven't compared Varnish to NginX in many years so the gap has probably been closed now?

Good work. I've stuffed this one in the back pocket for future use.
Do you have a blog? Genuine question.
That's what parental controls should be there for, an actual feature.
Nothing would have stopped Nintendo from just adding a "disable web browser" to the parental control feature the Switch already possess.
As such the lack of a web browser is not a "feature", it's merely omitting functionality.
Sorry, I meant pricing options. I the user wants fiddler then he could pay more. A writing explaination of the answer could be cheaper.
> One of the most important things, which I doubt is in dispute, is access to healthcare.

One dispute seems to be over the meaning of the word "access". Some people, like my Libertarian friend, feel that "access" is satisfied if you have the freedom to choose your provider (or none at all) -- but god help you if you don't have any money, because no one should be taxed to pay for others' health care. For many, taxation is viewed as state-enforced theft. (I'm not sure how to argue against that viewpoint.)

Others (like Senator Sanders) believe that "access" means "you can get it" -- and include the ability to afford it in that metric. This is why some people in our country argue that we Should Be making sure that people _get_ their medical costs subsidized by taxes. While it's a tax on all of us, the costs end up being lower, and you don't end up people forgoing routine preventative care because they feel they can't afford it, simply because the chance of them having something catastrophically bad is low.

Many that oppose this point to anecdotes of people who needed Serious Help and could not get to it in time, or flew to the US to get it, rather than in their home country.

The last time I participated in a discussion about this, the best system seemed to be Australian. I'm likely oversimplifying, but basically everyone paid into a national system that covered basic things and normal socialized care, and you also had the freedom to have additional insurance that would cover the things that the national system might not be inclined to give you for various reasons. I liked this idea because it meant that poor people and children all had basic care, and anyone who cared about their freedom to choose their doctors / treatments could do so (at a price). The net price still sounded like it was less than what I pay for my family here in the US for medical care.
Also, when I see the media going crazy over Kellyanne putting her feet on the couch to take a picture, I can definitely see one of the biggest factors in how we've lost our way.

I would like to see stats on the number of users who actively uses the stories tab, because I doubt it's where the "engaged users" spend their time.
The switch has been the first Nintendo console I haven't been excited for. It's hardware is boring (it's just a tablet with a dock, yawn), battery life is bad as a portable gaming device, and controllers seem to compromise too much function for form. The Wii-U, while being terribly marketed, was unique in its two-screened console idea (which originally came from the GBA link + gamecube experiment), and there are a lot of really unique experiences that can only be had on it.

Despite my own misgivings, it feels like a smart move by N to try and appeal to the mainstream tablet/phone gamers. I really hope the switch is successful enough to let N start doing some crazy things again.
Definitely. If our dataset was absolutely massive and we couldn't hold a reasonable amount on disk, it'd make more sense. Fortunately, we are getting a 90+% hit ratio out of a very small amount of space relative to the size of our bucket.

And yeah, we have 0 resiliance for write data here. Again, fortunately, we can afford this tradeoff since the amount of uploads is significantly lower and much less critical for us.
I've tried moon rocks, edibles, concentrates, vaporizers, bongs, stream-rollers, hash, and anything else you can name. You only get so high.
nit: S3 has bi-directional replication, so both of the buckets can accept writes.
Soon, the Northwest Passage should be open year round. It's close now.
I'm waiting to see something like this turn up. Props to you if you're the one who finally goes ahead and makes it.
>Only one—my single American—was monolingual.

Two American cyclists were cycling in Europe.

Someone flagged them for help. He spoke to them in German.

The Americans indicated they did not understand.

He then tried French. Then Italian. Then Spanish. Then Portugese. Then Russian.

Finally, the person showed his irritation and took off looking for someone else who could help him.

One America turned to the other and said "Do you think we Americans should learn more languages?"

The other scoffed "Why? Look at this dude. He knew so many languages but it didn't help him, did it?"
Alternate title: "Replacing S3 downtime for vastly greater amounts of your own downtime"

What is the name for this phenomenon where folks think they can out-available a thing that has multiple engineers singularly dedicated to nothing more than its availability /and/ operation? It it just hubris? Surely there must be a more clinical name.
maybe from your experience.

Cannabis has not been fully explored since its supression by pharma/govt. there are many areas which they are discovering it treats effectively, more than a few already known and more being discovered.

i have seen a naturopath who also has a doctorate in science based medicine, and is not some hack pitching homeopathy.

not all are quacks and not all dont have medical training , i downvoted you for this reason, doesnt mean you should use a hyperbole.. :)

who do you recommend to see? you provided no information relevant to what OP was asking.

should they go see a medical doctor who in general (not all) dont believe the effectiveness just due to the stigma of marijuana?

or would you recommend a naturopath who may (not all) who has hands on experience advising and dealing with patients who have tried marijuana to help with various ailments.

One thing that complicates easy replication is the rules around CNAMEing your S3 bucket to a subdomain you control. You have to name the bucket subdomain.your-domain.com.s3.amazonaws.com, then CNAME subdomain to s3.amazonaws.com. Your replicated bucket needs a unique name, so when you want to fail over it's unfortunately not just a matter of changing a DNS entry to point to the alternate bucket.

Of course, if you have complete control of the client you can just change the hostname. But if you have references scattered throughout html files, you'll likely want a reverse proxy in front of S3.
Any chance of sharing/providing the source code of the listener bot that auto responds?
