Good to know. I saw the animation as a snipe at roped elevators, freezeframing just as the elevator fails and goes into freefall. It makes more sense knowing the history.
Nice idea.

Looked at the Apple website and before they opened iOS for native development (and monetarization through the App Store) they tried to push Web-Apps, but maybe this was just a experiment to validate if people will use it:

> Developers can create Web 2.0 applications that look and behave just like the applications built into iPhone, and provide seamless integration with iPhone applications and services including making a phone call, sending an email, and displaying a location in Google Maps. Third-party applications created using web standards can extend iPhone's capabilities without compromising its reliability or security.
I would rather hack and reprogram it ;-)
Thank you - I never thought of that. I guess I've always subconsciously discounted due to being master of none. I suppose a "learn with me" approach is good :) again thank you!
Would they? There are still significant fixed costs for a risky reward. A quick way of looking at the extreme end is: does everyone with free electricity do it?

> Worse, they're on vertical surfaces in the shafts, where maintenance will be difficult.

Maybe - but movement on two axes lets you get creative with your tools. You could for instance store a "maintenance car" with special fittings that expose the shaft mechanisms. The car could be introduced into the system as needed and removed when it would just be in the way.
The idea of the exclusionary principle is that it's the only way to have the right incentives for the authorities to abide by constitutional restrictions on their power. If they don't follow the rules, then they can't use their evidence in court. As a result, their internal procedures are designed to prevent that outcome. Despite the high profile cases and media coverage that makes it seem otherwise, law enforcement procedures tend to be much more restrictive than the constitution demands, because they want to avoid any doubt that their actions are legal and that their evidence is admissible. They also want to avoid edge-cases that could lead to court rulings that add to their constitutional restrictions, which will tie their hands in future cases where they might have a pressing need to exercise the full scope of their powers.

Without the exclusionary rule, you rely on the authorities following restrictions purely out of the goodness of their hearts, or only as much as the voters of the day demand. What incentive would the prosecutors and police have to limit their own authority? You can't have the fox guarding the hen house.

I don't think that is an important distinction because that is still very true of driver-piloted vehicles as well. Also people still die in train and plane accidents. You still have to eschew any form of travel to be safe from its risks.
I don't use gedit, but in general I like look and feel of GNOME 3 applications:

* Emphasis on undo instead of confirmation dialogs. Though, some applications got implementation completely wrong. Contacts, I am looking at you. It delays deleting a contact instead of offering a real undo, which means that if you exit early no action is performed at all.

* Different colors for constructive / destructive actions used consistently across applications.

* Keyboard shortcuts window. Though, I don't understand why most applications insist on making it modal, which essentially prohibits looking at shortcuts and trying them out at the same time.

* Headers bars. I prefer those over traditional menu bars, especially if number of different actions to perform is limited. Though, portability suffers as making it work in environments without client side decorations requires some custom code. Thus, if developer didn't take this into account it probably doesn't work.

* In-app notifications (used for example for example for undo I have already mentioned). Though, AFAIK this doesn't seem to be builtin part of GTK yet and require a little bit more custom code than other widgets.

* Empty placeholders! (Though, they might have been there already?)
The article is a bit dramatic, but the funny part is that he spent so much time trying to prove that whales install buy and sell walls to manipulate the price. This is not news and happens with every cryptocurrency on every exchange. It is especially common and easy to spot with altcoins. The typical life cycle of an altcoin is similar to this:

1) Bitcoin code forked and slightly modified.

2) New coin announced on Bitcoin talk and the creators premine enough to control the price

3) attempt to hype the coin and gain interest

4) coin is added to exchanges and people begin buying it

5) buy walls are installed by the coin creator to prevent the price from crashing and they continue to hype the coin in trading chatrooms

6) price raises high enough and enough demand exists for the coin creator to remove the buy walls and sell off premined coins

7) the price crashes and the coin is abandoned

This is called pump and dump and it happens all the time. With more successful coins...the effect isn't as dramatic bc there are investors that believe in the value of the project, but the mechanics of the price manipulation is the same.
No, not at all (practically). Either way I need a source map and/or a decompiler to read the code.
it doesn't matter if standards exist. the "right way" to do stuff is "confusing" and "hard to use" for people who are not technology people.

The first thing I couldn't help but notice was how much ink these new designs would use! That seems like a major design flaw for an industry with such tight margins.
It's working well so far. I would never have accepted the job as just another developer. I only accepted it as an architect that was given the authority to make the changes. I haven't gotten any push back from the higher ups. I had to sell everything as a long term cost savings:

- automated tests keep the cost of hiring QA down. QA only has to test new functionality. The more automated tests you have -- both unit and integration tests - the less manual regression testing you have to do.

- automated testing also allows us to ramp up with contractors and you don't loose business knowledge when people leave because the business logic is in the automated tests - not a bunch of documents in SharePoint. If a contractor comes in and makes a change and the tests break, they've broken a piece of business logic.

- Once everything is setup, and documented, you don't need dedicated "release engineers" all releases are coded with Powershell and configured with Consul. We treat servers like "cattle not pets".

We also based the project on Mongo and not sql server so we don't have to worry about database deployments. We decorate the fields in our POCOs that are being stored with attributes that tell the individual services at startup to auto create any missing indexes that we need. Schemas are enforced by microservices that are the only way to access Mongo.
The amount of bleach left on your dishes after washing and rinsing isn't going to poison you. Also, bleach breaks down to mostly salt and water.

The real problem with using bleach to clean dishes or eating utensils is that some of us can taste it very strongly, even hours or days later. For example, the first job I had was at a fast food place and we had one idiot who used bleach to soak the plastic soft drink dispenser nozzles in overnight, instead of the provided cleaning solution (which was tasteless). I was the only one working there who noticed but I knew every single time he did it without fail.
This doesn't show that biking has gotten safer. It may have, but later adopters of biking are also less likely to engage in risky behavior.

Similarly, as the percentage of folks who use heroin increases, the relative rate of overdoses declines. But that doesn't mean that heroin itself has become any more or less safe.

I feel like someone has to advice younger generation to be not so arrogant and so fragile. At some point while reading this post, I notice myself thinking what a self entitled piece of opinionated garbage am I reading?. Is this person too smart for their own good? How do you deal with someone like this at workplace?

Too sensitive to handle a rude interviewer or too picky about miscommunications? how are you going to handle an angry client or a hard project or a project with older technologies thats not fancy?

If you are looking for The perfect place to work at, there is very little scope for you to shine. If a place is a mess and you go and make it better, you might be recognized for it.

It appears "gossipy" and out of place when a junior candidate comes to an interview and talks about startups and valuations. The role is usually for someone to be good at a specified job or want to be good at a particular role. Certain conversations are not appropriate during the interview unless that is for a co-founder or an executive role. People Dodge questions in interviews because thats the right thing to do and you have not yet earned that level of trust yet.
The good news from all this is that the CEO is pushing hard for electric vehicles (and plugin hybrids)

Putting the zone at the end is actually OK for humans; It's an edge.

It could even be distanced a little from it with some small 'zone' text.
I'm starting my career at 30, so I don't see how changing one would be a problem.

I've been working primarily in a web development context for about a decade now. I concede in a heartbeat that Electron is a vastly inferior user experience compared to native apps.

Earlier in my career, I worked primarily in a native development context. I concede in a heartbeat that Flash's buggy and insecure browser plugin was a vastly inferior user experience compared to the web standards we have now.

A platform's native tools are generally going to provide the best user experience. Mind you, they don't always provide the best DEVELOPER experience... so we're endlessly experimenting with new approaches and abstractions. But the pendulum always swings back around.
scrum could work, but only in speciql cases. for example, it cannot deal with new coworkers, at least not in the teams I experienced. it could work for ad hoc teams with the same knowledge, but in practice that is never the case

A great comment. I'm wondering have you access to the document and have read it? It seems as if there's no copies around for us to look at and see what it's actually saying, compared to what it's reported as saying. I'd agree with most here in saying that it sounds really bad, bad enough to elicit strong responses but I'd like to make my own mind up if possible.
Not even very clever edge cases, but consider that birds see more of the spectrum than humans, there are designs that are visible to birds but invisible to humans. There, we just found examples that are adversarially designed to blind humans but are so obvious to a bird: it wasn't that hard!

The core idea is nice (using simple markup instead of code), but it seems developers these days are completely oblivious to the fact that HTML is extensible and was literally designed to do this kind of stuff. Markdown is better for simple text editing, JSON is better for simple data structures, but HTML is far superior for complex documents where you need to attach structure and behaviors to text.

Things it buys you out of the box:

- No need to write a parser
- You can make complex references via CSS selectors
- Your structure (tags) has structure (attributes)
- All the existing tooling will help you to debug if something goes wrong.

On this note, I regret that HTML5 had thrown away the good ideas from XML (syntax consistency and namespaces) along with the bad (weird sub-formats, entity definitions, directives and other complex crap no one used well anyway).
The US solidly off-sets the difference with its ownership of the global reserve currency. Japan, which also has drastically more debt as a % than the US (and without the consistent growth or assets), doesn't quite have that benefit. When the US debases the dollar, a big part of that inflation is absorbed by the global economy (such as via commodity prices going up, or external dollar instrument holders taking some of the punch). When Japan debases the Yen, the hit is almost entirely absorbed by the people of Japan and its economy.

>you can't change priorities until the iteration is complete

The original agile manifesto was meant to avoid following plans blindly like that. It's only four lines one of which is "Responding to change over following a plan".

Despite what the kanban people think, Agile isn't supposed to be "small waterfall" where the work and priorities are set in advance instead of discovered as you test hypotheses through trying different technological approaches and doing back and forth with the users.

What you propose means that if in a cycle you discover that the plan was sub optimal and not well prioritized (and when you are iterating, you are in the best position to find that out) you march on towards the dead end and only adjust after the "sprint" is over? That is not agile, it may fall under scrum but really it is just small waterfall.

Good agile as it was originally stated is compatible with and even comes from a similar line of reasoning as the Lean approaches. The core of Lean is that the people closest to the technology should be put in a close relationship with the users to be in the best position possible to resolve what I like to call the crux of innovation. Innovation's most difficult and most crucial part which is to figure out what work has the most value to effort ratio, what has the most risk and needs to be studied early to clear up that risk and ultimately what the team should be working on first. At least for any work that is somewhat leading edge or a bit experimental, priorities cannot be properly assessed without experimentation, user feedback and management of uncertainty and risk trough early experimentation.

Scrum tends to ignore this core problem by positing a product owner that has the answers. This is very reminiscent of waterfall where people disconnected from the technology and who aren't experimenting and putting things in front of users, who are ultimately in a bad position to make plans are making those plans anyways. IMO what you are describing and a lot of the ideas in scrum are the very things that original agile was meant to prevent and also goes against Lean approaches.

Here is the agile manifesto:

"Individuals and interactions over processes and tools

Working software over comprehensive documentation

Customer collaboration over contract negotiation

Responding to change over following a plan"

Additionally the for construct implies that you want something done in a certain order, map implies all operations are independent and the order can be decided by the runtime itself. A program written in a language supporting map (which requires first class functions) can be trivially parallelised, whereas every for loop must be carefully analysed first.
I believe it. After picking up cycling a couple years ago, I've noticed I am a lot more aware of bikes on the road, and drive with more care. I've also noticed my family driving more carefully around bikes as I've mentioned close calls I've had. I imagine it also leads to more willingness to invest in cycling infrastructure, which tends to make things safer as well.
It's also had more baking time on FreeBSD.
A collegue (in college) told me that they initially did not want to release a developer kit (Steve did not "believe" in apps) and that they were a bit ashamed of the state the SDK was in at the time. I've found no article verifying this though.
Funny story: I had a '09 Audi with a diesel gate engine. It was "fixed" during a service, and of course being European, there was no customer compensation. Just today I went to get a new car (looking for a '16 or '17 model) and would have preferred a gas car over a diesel, but found not even 1 in 100 cars on the market were non-diesels. In the end I reluctantly bought a '16 diesel.

Panic is the worst response to have in this situation. You have someone who is reporting this in good faith, who probably has an idea as to why the vulnerability exists. Just come out and be like "I don't know what I'm doing" to the individual and see if they can help, and look to hire someone that does know what they're doing.
This reminds me of another good site www.pastdaily.com
> breaking things down iteratively is the same as trying to paint a mural 1 square inch at a time.

What you are describing is the opposite of iterative. When you iterate, you go over the same territory multiple times, with more insight/detail.
Network effects isn't about adoption necessarily, its about defense. If a cryptocurrency is going to be mainstream, it will be bitcoin barring some massive self-inflicted wound or some new game changing technology. But adoption hasn't reached critical mass because there are still many usability barriers. Hopefully with segwit we'll start to see those barriers fall away.

Quantum Theory: von Neumann vs. Dirac (2012)
I think you are overstating what "understanding" is. It is well known that birds see more of the EM spectrum than humans. We can make -- and indeed there are -- designs that are only visible to birds but are invisible to humans in the sense that our three-cone visual system conflates certain inputs from the physical world. That stop sign can be designed in a way to look like a stop sign to a bird but make us think it is something else entirely. Are we not understanding the stop sign?

No. It's just a fact of parsimonious signal representation that sometimes you get null spaces with which you can manipulate to maximally separate the performance of two very different receivers.
Not sure who JJ Luna is, but reading through his FAQ on ghost addresses doesn't exactly inspire confidence. Specifically his description of INTERPOL "holding someone's feet to the fire". That's not how INTERPOL even remotely works. They aren't a Supra national police org, they don't even have the power to make arrests. They are a data clearing house for individual state police authorities. At most they could put out some kind of notice, but it would be the Spanish police org in his example that would be doing all the work.

Understanding your adversary is the first step to rational risk assessment.

Let me clarify. I'm not just a former neuroscientist; my field was consciousness and perception. Rightly or wrongly (as you may believe), nobody in the field is reading Hawkins.

What we do see a lot of, are people getting enamored of consciousness and dipping their toes in. For all I know Hawkins is an unheard-of genius, but his stuff reads like many of the dilettantes I've already seen.

Not necessarily...first 3 quick facts:

Member = owner

Manager = manager

LLC's can be member-managed or manager-managed.

Now the transaction:

1. Lawyer forms you Anonymous LLC,the sole owner of the LLC is an irrevocable trust and you are the sole manager (the LLC is manager-managed);

2. Obtain an EIN for the LLC using the EIN of the Trust;

3. Attorney will draft you a bank letter, this informs the bank the attorney formed the LLC, is familiar with the organizational structure, and confirms you are the sole manager of the manager-managed LLC (bank letters are also usually required when opening a DE C-corp bank account outside DE)

No matter what, to get an EIN for the LLC from the IRS one owner must apply using SSN; TIN or EIN. The EIN application will be disclosed to the IRS but otherwise is not public record.
