Seconded. But the big problem with NM is there's no first-world healthcare here, which makes it a tough place to live if you're older. Okay that's an exaggeration. There is good healthcare but not nearly enough for the population since doctors and nurses can make a lot more $$ elsewhere. So getting a PCP is very hard, ordinary appointments take weeks, and specialist appointments take months.
I second this suggestion. Plow through until it clicks and be prepared to give it a second read-through for an all-new experience. That is if you're slow to catch on, as I was.
This is an interesting look for me into exactly who Apple is targeting. Obviously, not you, because you want more control. But the more that I hear about what they are doing and the direction they are going, I am more likely to buy their services, because I just want something that works.

Really, I think the crux is that I trust Apple to do the right thing for a bunch of non-solid reasons, and so I am willing to give them the control over the particulars of the mechanisms as long as the input-->output is what I want/expect from them.
Exactly.

I think it's also informative to look at how attribution was viewed in the past. We as a tech community used to almost pride ourselves on our skepticism, as can be seen in this Bruce Schneier post[0] on Stuxnet.

In the post (written in 2010), he points out that attributing Stuxnet to the US Government is "almost entirely speculation", that ties to the Bushehr nuclear power plant were "rumors" at the time, and that "Once a theory takes hold, though, it's easy to find more evidence".

It took years months of more research, technical similarities to the Flame virus, video of an Israeli intelligence official joking about the virus, and much more before the tech community accepted the theory that Stuxnet was a US Government creation.

I'm not saying there's a perfect solution, but surely we as a tech community have lost our skeptical tone and no longer see it as important to question the government's technical claims as we once did.

I have a feeling if the roles were reversed, and it were Trump crying foul about Russian hacking, that's exactly what we'd be doing.

I gave several examples, what are you looking for? Anyway, why would I be dogwhistling, and to whom? Is that supposed to be some thinly-veiled, unfalsifiable insinuation that I'm part of the alt-right? Because that's the only context I've read it in.
Sorry to be that guy, but isn't there a huge legal issue? In France, the CNIL requires a declaration of any file, especially if you keep information about people in it, whether it's a spreadsheet or in good old punch cards. Such files can only be maintained for specific purpose; notably keeping tabs on what people want or their secrets can be used for bribes and leverage. An Excel file on your computer won't get you arrested because of leniency, but if we start issuing such software, the defense is less solid than for Torrent software.

i.e. What happens if a database is leaked?
I love the idea of a personal CRM. However, I hate the idea of duplication of effort. If you can't create interfaces to these other apps, then perhaps make sure you create an interface to IFTTT with enough control that would let me aggregate my data (phone calls, emails, etc.) to folks in Monica without user intervention.
That's going away, because of rampant abuse of Google's services and their inability to shut down pirate movie sites that use redirectors and fetchers to steal links from Google's CDN.
Yes, but I'm neither patient nor intelligent enough to spend multiple seconds and brain thought on finding my second most recent window. :-)

I think this product is Fantastic. One of the main jobs I hire FB for is Birthdays, looking forward to using this:

Few tiny feature requests:
- Make the <title> of the page the person you are looking at, really helps with multiple tabs.
- Filters for Gender & more options for non-binary Gender would be great.
- Just been adding a bunch of contacts, a tiny help would be when pasting a name into first name, to split on space and put the second name in.

Hope you can find a way to add Paid features you keep this going over the long term.

I like this, but I would argue that predicting crime isn't the core problem that law enforcement has today. The real issue is the incentive structure that disincentivizes crime prevention.

That sad truth is that police bear no cost when they fail to prevent crime and, in fact, get more funding and power if crime goes up.
>No reason to get defensive.

I didn't ask for advice or instruct anyone about what they should do anywhere on this thread. You on the other hand immediately instructed me what I should do. Perhaps you are accustomed to giving people orders? Been in the military perhaps?

>Just look at the number of people who enter the military to see schedule adjustment on a huge scale.

I call that BS.

What data you have that is independent of the military's own data of the percentages that do and don't adjust?

Outside of the era of conscription, make sure you correct for the fact that people who enter the military are a self selected sample.
Why is that funny? Most interviewers are just doing what their company asked them, to give a whiteboarding problem to a potential candidate and figure out if they're worth hiring based on that.

I agree the process sucks and it's a hoop to jump through, but why take it out on the interviewer?
Intel predicts a $7 trillion self-driving future
Pinterest really dropped the ball, they could have been a super profitable social network.

A lot has been written about how people go on Pinterest with shopping intent. It's a way to window shop the entire internet, curated by friends. They never really monetized it much though. Individual influencers made money by leveraging referral programs.

It seems like Pinterest was way ahead of the curve when it came to having image-heavy content and a heavy focus on lifestyle products. But they missed the boat on video and a lot of the influencers moved to Instagram or Facebook.
Just the TOC on this made me laugh, haven't even read the rest yet
You are blaming unethical people for profiting from a flawed system

Yes, and? Are unethical people somehow immune from blame for their decision to act unethically? Just because you see an opportunity for profit does not mean you are compelled to take it. That is, after all, the whole basis for incarceration in the first place, otherwise bank robbers would go free on the basis that once they realized how easy it was to rob a bank, they were unable to stop themselves.
2004 when I first joined was a year or so before a lot of the quizzes and games and such spam. At the time the "spam" was a large collection of "Groups" that had silly in-joke names specific to your College/University. That time "Groups" were more like a list of hobbies than the "Groups" of today. "Photos" also didn't show up until a few months after I first joined.

I'm not saying we should romanticize the incomplete, under-developed TheFacebook of 2004, but only that the things that made it viral on college campuses in 2004 are very different from those that made it viral among the masses in 2014. I'm not sure which one is better or worse, it's definitely complicated. But there's definitely that feeling that Facebook is not TheFacebook any more. Not just branding, but in... spirit, maybe? Like I said there's word missing that I'm curious to find.

Oh, there's plenty to learn.

That was a video for developers, you know. Like Ballmer's "monkey dance". It was saying "apps are awesome and everyone depends on you developers" (you can agree or not, but that was the message).
If Honnold can solo this route in 4 hours, why do the free climbers need to camp on it? Do they take longer? Or need more rest time between sections?
The thing that really puts me off Pinterest is that they require you to log in to see their public pages.

I'm surprised that people would throw another $150M on this particular bonfire. Like so many other bookmarking sites before it, Pinterest is overreaching. Their best outcome (for investors, not users) is likely an acquisition by Facebook.
You mean other places exist outside the bay area????
I don't really like the "bad actor" model of things. You don't just want people who aren't going to engage in that sort of behavior regardless of context. You also want people who are professional enough to figure out what's allowed and work within that box.

I actually went through all the steps of getting rustc and emscripten working, got it set up in Docker. It actually works, I was able to compile a rust program to wasm. But.. because emscripten uses a custom version of LLVM and clang, the image took up 25 GB of my harddrive! I just don't have that kind of space to leave it lying around, so I'll have to wait until they integrate into upstream I guess.

I might work a bit in Rust by itself and compile using emscripten later on the server, but kind of hard to do that if I want to access DOM/canvas/webGL, etc.
What kind of info is it for keeping track of then?

There's plenty of evidence The Intercept's actions caused her to be found. It's documented in the FBI's affidavits for arrest and search warrants. https://www.buzzfeed.com/stevenperlberg/a-federal-government...

To wit:
'The Reporter told the Contractor that the Reporter had received the documents through the mail, and they were postmarked "Augusta, Georgia."'

So the FBI looked up who printed the document and of those six, who lived in Augusta, GA. Open and shut. Thanks, The Intercept!

Reality check: overwhelming majority of 20 years old dudes don't harass women. They are not as dumb as you imply and they know what harassment is.

If you would be right, then radical feminists are right in that college students need special classes to tell them what is rape, what is harassment and what is proposal. Majority of non radical people opposed that on the grounds that it is insulting and dudes know.

If at the age of 20 you are so confused, then you are add toxic as dude who does not know difference between boxing match and pub fight. And as rare.

If an org does WBI's then it's a good indication that they are not choosing the best applicants. Instead of either getting good at them or trying to get the industry to change, we should embrace this.

If they do WBI's then they probably do lots of other things which run counter to best practices. Isn't it so much better to expose to the outside world a culture of cargo culting inability to evaluate techniques for the efficacy.

There are so many orgs who do run themselves well. The real tricky party is how to determine that quickly. With WBI's we can get a short cut.

I have the same issue with Quora. Makes me sad every time I go there and find useful info, but feel pushed away. Dropbox also does similar -- in fact they broke all their old direct public links, so that you can use their new "sharing" dialog, so that they can spam the recipient to get a Dropbox account. Sigh.
Hey neighbor! I'm in Lafayette as well, over by the library. 20 minutes to Boulder, Longmont, or 30 minutes to Denver. It's a great location.

Agreed, it's awesome here, though the prices are going up pretty quickly. That said, so are the restaurants down Public! Great new options. :)

Did SparkFun re-open its retail business then? When I was there last summer on a tour, the retail storefront wasn't open. The facility is great, though.

Also: Don't forget TinkerMill in Longmont, a great hackerspace that doubles as an incubator. I just met someone today who is bootstrapping an educational toy company out of TinkerMill. The local start-up community is really quite vibrant.
Were you really not aware of Uber's work culture issues?

Uber's problems with work culture and hostility to women has been an open secret for years. I remember hearing rumors about it since 2014 at least.

None of the recent allegations are surprising to anybody at all who has been aware of what it is like to work there.
Cultural influence goes both ways, certainly, and your suppositions of ignorance are unwarranted, unwelcome, and incorrect. I'm not suggesting policing thoughts, nor that a government should ever be in this business. I am suggesting that private institutions have every right to choose who they accept or associate with, based on the kinds of culture they wish to promote or discourage.
Because they are complicit. Saying they're just doing their job is not an excuse for propagating exclusionary and low signal interview practices.

We built a coordinator that would spin up specific categories of machines for each stage (some stages were MR jobs, some were hadoop streaming jobs) -- for example when doing in-memory work it was useful to have fewer nodes with more RAM, etc.
Axler avoids determinants with a passion. For good reason, too, because they are not helpful in understanding how spaces interact. I forget how Strang proves the spectral theorem but compared to Lax the pedagogy could not be more different. Determinants are really nice tools for short proofs, but not helpful in understanding. But Axler is the way you want to think about linear algebra as a practitioner.
You and the author are conflating two different things. The pure math community probably DOES feel that popularizing only applied mathematics is betraying pure mathematics, and they're probably right. We don't really teach proofs outside of highschool geometric proofs and maybe a single class in university. However there's no good reason why we can't popularize both applied AND pure mathematics.
As many have said this is a tactical reaction to changes in pitching and defense.

It always amazes me how balanced the game of baseball is compared to other sports. It's been around for more than a century and people have become so much stronger and faster on both sides of the ball. Still, offense and defense remain so perfectly matched. The bases remain 90 feet apart and the pitcher still throws from 60 feet away. A home run is still 400 feet.

Consider basketball which has had to dramatically rebalance the rules over time. Restrictions on time in the paint, the 3 point line, perimeter defense, etc. Or how hockey changed all the rules after the lockout. Or how football has totally re worked pass defense and special teams.

Baseball is just baseball.

ACD just royally fucked those of us that use rclone with it. I've now just bought a bunch of hard drives and a recent model optiplex to keep at a family member's house for my offsite backup. Not worth the "convenience" of a managed service when they pull this shit, especially with how expensive it really is compared with owning the equipment and keeping it at a friend/family's house.

Apparently rclone violated amazon's TOS by having an API key in the source code instead of authing with a central server? The cynic in me says "whelp, that's what we get for actually utilizing an 'unlimited' service".
The number of people killed by terrorism in developed countries per year is, what, a hundredth of those killed in car accidents? A tenth of those shot in Chicago alone?

http://www.businessinsider.com/death-risk-statistics-terrori...

Terrorists have to kill literally hundreds of times more people per year for it to justify even the meagerest response. And one may argue about the economic impacts, but that's just a reflection of this underlying irrationality. If we had media focusing on "Keep Calm and Carry On" like Israel does now or Britain did in WWII it would have a much smaller economic impact - and terrorists would stop doing it, since it would be less effective at achieving the subgoal of "terror".

So this post is really begging the question IMO.
I don't quite get your idea about the case statement? This is a straight-up condition, and the database only ever gets something like id=12312. In fact there isn't even a to_i involved–ruby will do a .to_s, on something that is guaranteed to be an integer.

I have similar feelings about subqueries. This is a rather elementary standard join query, and I always felt subqueries were only tacked onto SQL because people had trouble understanding joins.
I don't know why they can't carry on doing just what they do now. Keep the servers going, apply security updates, do backups, etc. But why do they need new features?

This constant need to grow really irks me.

Facebook Director of Typing-By-Brain Project Discusses His Game Plan
Twitter is currently trading for $12.7 billion. They did $2.5 billion in sales last year.

Pinterest has a: show me the sales, problem, I suspect. Public comparables in social like Twitter & Snapchat are going to cap their upside until or unless Pinterest can somehow demonstrate a very profitable business model. If those margins never arrive, Pinterest is going to be worth something a lot closer to Yelp than Twitter. From $12 billion, there's a massive downside risk in the last few rounds for Pinterest investors if this gets a similar reality chopping to what Twitter & Snap have.
>If an org does WBI's then it's a good indication that they are not choosing the best applicants
