People just don't behave rationally to this. Restaurants learned ages ago that people focus on entree pricing, as a result their is little to no margin on many main dishes (sometimes even negative). This is made up on wine, desserts, things that people have price elasticity on or poor information or both.

All that said, the operating margins on high end restaurants are ridiculously low. Franchises and fast food do better at this (economy of scale), but if it is a proper linen-table-cloths and local sourcing sort of place, they are playing with very thin margins at the best of times.

And before NJ the US tech hub was Baltimore. Information technology has been built into the economic history of the United States for quite some time.

The first electronic telegraph ran from DC to Bmore. Prior to the telegraph and it's forerunner, the optical telegraph, the fastest way to transmit goods and information were the Clipper ships coming out of the port of Baltimore (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baltimore_Clipper).

If you're interested in reading more economic history I highly recommend both The Weather Experiment (https://www.amazon.com/Weather-Experiment-Pioneers-Sought-Fu...) and Empire of Cotton (https://www.amazon.com/Empire-Cotton-History-Sven-Beckert/dp...)
Prop 60 lets people 55 and older a one time transfer of their low property tax assessment value to another home of the same or lesser value. The new home must be in the same county as the old one or in one of eight counties that accept transfers of base-year value from other counties.

How can people know about all these different laws that are very important to know if you want to plan well for your future. Seems like legal systems need some kind of lifespan so accumulated complications can be wiped away and a fresh start is possible (sort of like all living things are born and die). I suppose the founding fathers thought of this and included a constitution convention option for when a wholesale reset of the legal system is required. Bloody revolution not necessarily required.

No, it's pride. Wanting to not look bad to your peers (who aren't part of your tribe) because it reflects poorly on your tribe is pride.

"If I'm lazy, people will think all Mexicans are lazy." is not a fear motivator. It's motivated by pride and a sense of internal self worth.
The problem isn't critical thinking skills. You can get together any 5 jokers and ask them 'what's the best way to build a backyard patio?', and they'll all start stroking their chins. But when thinking critically interferes with some sort of strong emotion, or pre-conceived belief system, then forget it. It doesn't matter how much education you have, if entertaining a particular problem causes your amygdala to start firing then your ability to think critically is out the window.
Maybe I'm being dense and saying the same thing as you, but it's more about the difference from outside to inside. In the mid Atlantic of the US, 22C can be pretty pleasant, but in the South turning it below 26C is a much more pleasant setting. Meanwhile, spend time in Southern China and you'll be laughed at for going below 30C, because it makes you nearly unable to go outside. If I feel like the humidity outside is going to condense on me when I take the dog out, I'm cooling my house too aggressively.

Similarly, I don't heat above 15C in the winter. That way, getting dressed to go outside is less complex than suiting up for a space walk.
I was actually being sarcastic on the "white and straight" people being exhausting. Not like I had much of a bar: there're few non-hispanic white people in my country.

I don't know why everyone is blaming The Intercept for publishing a document leaked to them anonymously for that exact purpose. They always publish the source document. So does NYTimes and WaPo and other news orgs. It's common practice.

Assuming The Intercept detected the printer dot, how could they possibly know the printer dot wasn't some random one from a printer a library vs her work computer?

If I was The Intercept receiving a document from someone claiming to be an intelligence officer I would assume they used some very basic OPSEC - such as not printing the document out on a MONITORED WORK COMPUTER. This is basic stuff.

I don't see what more The Intercept could have done here to protect her.

She messed up, not them.

> For example, you are sentenced to 3 years of jail for a non-violent drug offense. How long do you serve in jail?

You don't get 3 years in jail, you get 3 years in prison. The only jail time you do waiting to be sentenced to prison is the time you wait to go to court.

You get no gain time for time spent in jail for your prison sentence, so its often called dead time or day-for-day or something.

>An ironic application of the prisoners delma. If none of the prisoners would be willing to be a slave, the state could not hold them all, or 'extend' their sentences because of overcrowding.

This is an interesting observation, but here is how thats dealt with; anyone whom discusses a general purpose strike against working is charged with a serious felony "inciting to riot" and is given an "outside charge" and is probably spending years more in prison.

That's how they do that.
Agreed.

Critical thinking isn't a subject, it is a framework. It seems foolish to allow a framework of non-critical thinking to take root for 13 years then expect a few classes to tear down and rebuild those habits of thought.

Further, arguing edge conditions and inserting plausible falsehoods that must be discovered or synthesis of ideas into unfamiliar areas is just more engaging and fun then accepting happy-path truths as a given and reciting them or performing well understood synthesis.

The Intercept claims it's a safe place for people to leak to.

It isn't if they make blunders like this.
One could argue that the "spirit" of the 3rd Amendment is that the government cannot compel you to use your own resources for their benefit on an ongoing basis. It's a stretch, but possibly no more so than other interpretations of the Constitution that courts have made.
Why not?

Smith-Mundt Act: American Public Diplomacy Is Propaganda Not Safe for Americans
This article resonates with me, although I loved my job.

To make a long story short, when I was 20 I had to fully support my mother and my very young sister. This was the most important reason that led me to accept conditions at work (work for a foreign company who I didn't know anyone in person, for low salary, not enough vacation, work way more than 40 hours per week, be on call 24/7 for years, etc) that I know for a fact people that were not in the same situation would never take. At least the vast majority of my friends and colleagues from college.

I still loved my job, but it was a balance between accepting shitty conditions and being a very dedicated worker betting on a brighter future for my family.

It turned out very good for me, although it took a very long time to, in terms of salary, be on par with a national median.

I never thought about it that way, but family indeed was the real motivator for me.

> Currently, the Mac Extended file system, HFS+, uses Normalisation Form D (NFD). Under that, é and é are automagically converted to é, and represented as three bytes, 65 cc 81.

This is actually an oversimplification. Mac NFD does not decompose characters in a few specific ranges[0]:

> U+2000 through U+2FFF, U+F900 through U+FAFF, and U+2F800 through U+2FAFF are not decomposed

But I do expect applications built for HFS+' pseudo-NFD to struggle with non-normalizing APFS.

Apple posted its first full-year iPad sales dip in fiscal 2014. Unit sales slipped 4% that year, while revenue fell 5%.
The sales declines accelerated thereafter. In fiscal 2015, unit sales plunged 19% and revenue dropped by 23%. In fiscal 2016, unit sales fell another 17%, while revenue tumbled 11%. Double-digit declines along both metrics continued in the first quarter of fiscal 2017.
The net result is that Apple shipped just 42.6 million iPads during the 2016 calendar year, down about 40% from the peak a few years ago. https://www.fool.com/investing/2017/02/19/is-the-ipad-dead.a...

Well writing in languages for native code is still just as popular, and we're moving in such a direction to allow for the same application to be available both on the web and on your machine. The pure-Javascript approach to offering the same is to package a browser with a web-app and disguise this as a standalone application, which is ass-backwards.

Here's how Greenwald initially handled Snowden's leak [1]:

Snowden anonymously sent him an e-mail saying he had documents he wanted to share, and followed that up with a step-by-step guide on how to encrypt communications, which Greenwald ignored. Snowden then sent a link to an encryption video, also to no avail.

“It’s really annoying and complicated, the encryption software,” Greenwald said as we sat on his porch during a tropical drizzle. “He kept harassing me, but at some point he just got frustrated, so he went to Laura.”

From another source [2] I cited in another comment:

"it took Greenwald several more months and help from experts before he could learn relatively basic tools like PGP encryption."

That's not exactly trust-inspiring, I'd say.

Correct me if I'm wrong; what you're saying is that merchant account providers have terms that dictate to merchants how they should price their products i.e. as a merchant you cannot pass the fee? (It seems incredibly stifling for the merchant to me but may be you can enlighten me on why it is in the interest of MAPs to have such a condition)

Do majority of MAPs in the US have this condition in their terms? And which MAPs don't have this condition?
Introduction to Twitter Bots
Not with the insane property taxes and other regulatory friction. Highest property taxes in the country. It also has some of the highest auto insurance rates in the country as well. Health insurance is also higher than in neighboring NYC (at least the last time I checked a few years ago.)

All of the Democrat candidates for NJ governor want to raise taxes even more.

NJ also has the most underfunded public pension system in the country. -- a $44 billion shortfall. As a tech entrepreneur, I'd be very nervous about locating in a state that could, at any moment decide that those "wealthy tech companies" ought to be bailing out decades of financial mismanagement.

NJ also ranked 49th in "Small Business Friendliness" -- California was 50th. New York was 48th.

http://www.nj.com/business/index.ssf/2014/12/nj_is_a_terribl...

South Dakota, Nevada and Texas were the top three.

If anywhere should be the "next" place, it should probably be Houston -- one of the most diverse cities in the country, low taxes, access to a massive academic medical center, NASA, the energy industry, low cost of living, Rice University (pioneers in nano-tech including a Nobel winners,) University of Houston, including Paul Chu in superconducting. Texas A&M is about an hour away with more Nobel winners, including the 1996 Nobel in Physics and substantial engineering and science research programs

New Jersey does have Princeton of course and access to NYC (if that actually matters.) New Jersey's only "attraction" other than Princeton is "proximity to New York." I would have to see some actual data to be convinced that "proximity to New York" actually has a material affect on the success of startups. It's a fallacy that being in San Fran or NYC actually matters.
Yes, but they did hold a lot more of Afghanistan than the British.

Either way. Thanks for this cool product, and OSS-ing it.

underestimate the degree to which groupthink is pushed in social sciences, and $area Studies. Especially when compared to the humanities.

The humanities have a long tradition of debate and disagreement as a path to seeking the truth, that is sometimes lacking in sociology or political science.
Whether she got caught because of her own mistakes is immaterial.

What matters is that if she had not made any mistakes the intercept made it trivially easy to reduce the pool of possible suspects. That´s fairly stupid if your whole reason for existence is to handle documents sent to you by vulnerable people.

If this is not the last article by the Intercept based on stuff leaked to them it would highly surprise me.

They totally messed this up.
I totally agree. If the K-12 system doesn't do something about this, colleges aren't going to be able to do much to fix it.
How is their argument silly? For many, God is an archetypical metaphor for a Daddy that must be feared and obeyed. Trump's election showed that a huge percentage of religious Americans have an authoritarian bent.
I'd wager a lot of this popularity is correlation, not causation. A lot of its popularity stems from being the dominant browser scripting language. This causes it to be popular with back-end frameworks for code re-use and shared developer skill. This causes it to be popular with, say, database engines that are used by the back-end, and so on and so forth.

WebAssembly is the first steps to truly breaking that chokehold, and truly seeing how popular JavaScript the language really is.
Yes. To me it was about the challenge itself and the "I can do it" motivator.

There are a number of companies that exist with the intended purpose of providing jobs to ex convicts.

The risk that a regular company takes, however, is one of "this individual has done XYZ when times were hard in the past. How can we be sure they won't again?" This is combined with that for many good paying jobs there are more applications than positions allowing for the "filter by felon" to be a not unreasonable first level filter for HR to apply.
That sounds vaguely familiar. ;)
I teach community college biology, and I agree that we're really bad at teaching critical thinking. But the Collegiate Learning Assessment (CLA) cited by this article was graded by a computer last time I checked. Here's a direct quote from one of their papers a few years ago:

"Beginning in fall 2010, we moved to automated scoring exclusively, using Pearson’s Intelligent Essay Assess
or (IEA). IEA is the automated scoring engine developed by Pearson Knowledge Technologies to evaluate the meaning of text, not just writing mechanics. Pearson has trained IEA for the CLA using real CLA responses and scores to ensure
its consistency with scores generated by human raters."

Most of you are more knowledgeable about technology than I am. So I'll leave it to you to decide if using an algorithm to grade an essay-based exam of critical thinking is a valid approach to this problem.
Who started it has no weight, that is just an appeal to authority. What does matter is how they conduct themselves and they made enough mistakes here to avoid them like the plague if you have something important.
I used to make fun of the idea of coding bootcamps. Then I started a PhD in computer science and realized only 30% of CS students actually engage with the theory courses that would differentiate them from boot camp grads. At this point I'd be more inclined to hire a philosophy grad from a small liberal arts school who went to a boot camp than a CS major from a big school, at least I know there will be a capacity for abstraction and decent writing skills.
> the discussion of speech issues is often about culture and norms rather than about legal statutes.

While it may be something that many people make a lot of noise about 'respecting', freedom of speech, tolerance of discourse, and a willingness to listen to others are not deeply held social or cultural norms I have witnessed in the US.

I agree that critical thinking should be taugth sooner. A 12 years old can perfectly handle it.

I got the most jewish name ever, however, I can't agree with you on the Talmud. Just like the Bible and the Coran, it's full of things that goes exactly in the opposite direction of critical thinking. And religion, while helping with a lot of things like holding communities and sharing values, is definitly using a huge number of arguments that are totally in opposition with critical thinking. Starting by the fact that all of it is based on the assumption you believe in Yahweh.

However, since the Jewish community itself is pretty well educated, it's easy to be biased.
The amount of votes and comments seem to indicate that it is very well suited to this website.
