The rational part of your brain is waving around two huge red flags: "can't happen here" and "nothing to hide".

You should slap it around a bit, so that it stops believing in those intrinsic, unsupported assumptions. Not like a literal concussion type of slap--slap it with a hit of salvia divinorum or a provocative essay or introspective meditation or something.

Everyone has something to hide. It doesn't even have to be anything particularly shameful. You could have the most glorious junk in the history of humanity, but you still cover it up with some form of garment when you leave the house. You could have a perfectly ordinary and treatable rash on your backside, but you don't necessarily tell anyone about it outside your doctor's office. You might be going on an awesome vacation for three weeks, but you might not want the local housebreaking crew to know that.

It can happen here, as it can happen anywhere that humans come together. This is beyond tolerable, and as we are a civilized people, we have a graduated response to such behavior.

First, we publicly announce our opposition to this policy, in the hopes that a reasoned debate will cause it to be abandoned. This is the "soap box". Second, we inform our designated representatives that this is an important issue, and should they wish to continue to hold our proxy, they will vote in accordance with the wishes of their constituents. Should they do otherwise, we do our best to replace them with someone who will. This is the "ballot box". Third, we tangle it up with formal legal challenges, requiring that the policy be measured against existing legal standards. We sit on grand juries to indict or no-bill those suspected of breaking our laws, and upon petit juries to convict or not-convict those who faced trial. This is the "jury box". Finally, we can take our tools, fashion them into weapons, and physically assault those who have already failed to yield to reason, ignored those whom they purport to represent, and scoffed at the law. This is the "ammo box"--ultima ratio regum.

It can happen here. It is always happening everywhere, and here is no exception. We must constantly work at preventing it. That is the burden of democracy. Everywhere it has happened, it was because the momentum overwhelmed the resistance, and because those graduated responses were removed Alvin York style--from back to front, so that the opposition wouldn't notice until it was too late. You can't forget that when reason fails--and it does fail against the unreasonable--you have to be prepared to instead use rhetoric, tradition, or raw force to get what you want.
She was not exactly Bobbie, as depicted in the books. But unless you find the Maori sister of the guy who played Gregor Clegane in GOT, nobody would be.
Try listening to the audiobook instead.
"the quality of life, while debatable, would be considered a downgrade for many who could potentially be poached from other regions". Why would it be a downgrade. If they paid an American $120k a year to live in Bangalore, that would buy the American a nice villa, pay for several servants, and allow for frequent travel. In SF, that same money gets you a shoe-box apartment.
The book outliers says that research shows roughly half of IQ dictated by genetics. Do you have research that contradicts this?
"nobody takes the Torah as accurate history. Do you?"

Sure, as someone interested in history, I certainly take the Torah as accurate history. And I think that not a few ancient historians and archaeologists would do the same, irrespective of their views on Genesis 1.

For example, and I am referring to the entire Tanakh, I understand that Hezekiah was a real king in history who built a real tunnel which people really walk through today. I have no problem with that. I wouldn't consider that "folklore".

As someone interested in the historical method, I understand that the fact of an event, whether it happened or not, does not depend on the perceived likelihood I myself or others impute to it. I don't have any Naturalistic presuppositions. I don't subscribe to Naturalism as a philosophy, nor would I mistake it for science. So I won't immediately grab at revising the date for say Isaiah if he happens to mention Cyrus ahead of his birth.

Coming back to Genesis 1, you're forcing many literary and scientific issues if you want to tie Genesis 1 down (and dismiss it) as claiming a 6,000 (or 7,000) year old earth.

From a purely scientific perspective, the "age of the world" discussion needs to be wary of Hume's is-ought distinction. It would be a mistake to assume that the laws of physics have always been (and always will be) as they currently are. That would be to derive an "ought" (they must always have worked this way) from an "is" (the way things work today as we observe them).

In fact, from a literary point of view, if we read as far as Genesis 3, we see that Genesis itself suggests a seismic shift in the way things work, when death enters the world.

The point of Genesis 1-3 is that the world as we know it, is markedly different to the way God created it. I don't think we should overlook that.

So I see no contradiction between science and the Bible. In fact, I think they encourage and support each other.

What regulations have gotten strict? From last I read, the changes that Trump proposed seems to have gotten nowhere. Yet IBM has been shifting the worker base to India for decades.
I don't think lack of real "chat" is a problem, as long as you are clear about it.

for me the real attraction was that this looks like a more fun way to answer boring survey questions, and thus hopefully higher percentage of people will complete the survey.

Best of luck, and i'll be following how this progresses!
They seem perfectly equivalent to me. Lottery winnings came from everyone else buying tickets, yes.

So where are the 'winnings' of these magical 2010-era bitcoin holders coming from, if not from other people buying bitcoins?

suggestions:

-root url / Home should be where I can search audio, not that corporate/description page. when i go to podiumedu.com i want to be able to search for the audio right away. It took me a few seconds to figure out i had to click on "Player"

- Should be able to see audio without having to login

- URLs: it'd be sick if i could send a link to a friend "podiumedu.com/Idea+To+Product" and it show them a list of the audios with that tag

- The images for courses takes up way too much real estate. I went to this course "https://www.podiumedu.com/player/#!/course/5930b2fcdbc7c250c... and all i saw was the image, the title, and one row on the table. (I'm using a Surface Pro 4)

-x2 speed like Youtube/Audible would be nice
I did not even want to comment but I have to.
You are very xenophobic towards americans. Every developed rich nation has this attitude when it comes to outsourcing and offshoring.

But all of it is just anecdotal evidence (it goes both ways).You are not only forgetting about how economics work but also evidently omitting how that happened that US is so rich and can afford paying such salaries.

I really do not want to elaborate more but todays tech companies create such huge social disparities in India that literally everyone wants to work in IT just to uplift himself from "3rd world poor" to EE standards.
> Ubuntu is great, but maybe the priority should be flawless instead of yet another window manager/desktop environment.

Well switching to Systemd, Gnome Shell and Wayland instead of their own solutions goes a long way towards freeing up their resources to make that experience flawless.
If I had diabetes I would really want this kind of capability for monitoring my glucose levels
You know I can't really feel their plight. Take this:

>Hundreds of miles away, in Minas Gerais State, Dr. Jiménez, 34, found the work rewarding, but also began to harbor feelings of resentment. “You are trained in Cuba and our education is free, health care is free, but at what price?” she said. “You wind up paying for it your whole life.”

Is that not the point? The communist government allows anybody to attend their very good medical schools totally for free. This doctor hasn't even made it to 34 and she wants to opt out, how many 34 y/o american doctors are even close to paying down their debt? Seems weird to come from a country which is explicitly organized around giving everybody a chance to succeed and then upon success saying, yeah but I don't like paying for it.
(I’ll answer about my thoughts and opinions are instead of what I am actually using.) I would not be adverse to using a “feature phone” – i.e. a non-updateable non-smartphone. It’s hard coded; no one can affect the software in it, so it would be OK if I can’t either. Of course a free (RYF-certified) phone would have much better features (including inspectable privacy guarantees), which is why I’m considering such a thing.
>If someone is communicating with known terrorist organizations or plotting a crime on social media, how is that not the governments business?

If someone is plotting a crime while having sex with their partner in their bedroom, how is that not the government's business?

See how it gets problematic?

Bad actors like that can communicate in 200000 ways. If governments want to target "known terrorist organizations" let them target them, and follow those people, monitor their houses, etc -- not monitor the general population in the off chance they see something.

>I'm not saying they should have unfettered access to everything (far from it!), but gathering and analyzing this type of information is the very definition of their business.

So, in 1980, before Facebook, they wouldn't be able to catch anyone?

How about they monitor actual suspects with good old police work and leave the BS?
If more money is put into the healthcare system but the amount of new doctors per year does not increase, of course the money is going to go to administration. It has nowhere else to go.

That's also why the US spends so much on drugs. Doctors are overworked, so they are forced to depend on prescribing more drugs, the most time-efficient tools for them.
Be careful here. I suspect that licensing terms may change a bit with this.

However, you are mistaken. Windows Server standard allows 2 VMs (plus the host). Datacenter allows unlimited VMs. If someone told you otherwise, that's incorrect: http://www.microsoftvolumelicensing.com/ProductResults.aspx?...
What do you mean by "40% vehicular failure rate"?

Could you please give some insights / sources?
> Summarizing this as "dead" is not hyperbolic IMO.

Theano is a Python library. Software doesn't die once someone decides that the design and implementation stages are over and the project enters the maintenance stage. The software remains operational and in use, and if bugs are found they will be squashed. That's it.
Indeed - the number of educated people who believe there was a 'car tax' that paid for the road was outstanding. Until recently nearly all taxation went into a central pot and was allocated from there. Sadly this is now changing which I think will further drive the sense of 'ownership of the road' that many drivers have.
I remember the debug/dev version of the library being the exact same thing as the production one. :|
That's what I was thinking. Arch switched to all x86_64 a few months ago (announced the phase-out) but, Arch would probably be just as lightweight. I'm not sure what DE it comes with

FWIW I wrote a related blog post:

"Shell Pipelines Support Vectorized, Point-Free, and Imperative Style"

http://www.oilshell.org/blog/2017/01/15.html

I'm also writing a blog post right now that uses this real instance of point-free style:

count-nul() {
od -A n -t x1 | grep -o '00' | wc -l
}
# usage: count-nul < myfile.bin

The issue is that grep can't find NUL bytes, because argv is NUL-terminated. So you have to convert to hex, grep, and then count.
Do you think the billionaires in their RVs at Burning Man would be willing to spend 6 months in that condition?

Even at a "ridiculously low" price of $500k, you're basically offering a mount Everest experience for people. Dangerous , uncomfortable, generally hard to do if you're not super free. A crazy adventure

Some people are interested, but you can't argue much for economy of scales when the total market of affordability is probably tiny.

Only 5000 people have ever climbed Mt Everest.
You want the name of the Satoshi Nakomoto who is most likely to be the Satoshi Nakomoto? The name? That's what you want? Are you sure you've thought this through?
Well there are different tools to clear up a audio track.

$50 will get Audio Cleaning Lab. If I was home I would do a quick auto clean and then hand scrube the file. http://www.magix.com/us/audio-cleaning-lab/detail/

$1199 will get you iZotope’s RX. I actually normally get better results form the $50 one then when I use this tool at a friend's shop. https://www.izotope.com/en/products/repair-and-edit/rx-post-...

Spectral editors are amazing for removing certain sounds and keeping the over all sound intact. This is where we need to move into. Editing at the Spectral level, which will have a much higher CPU overhead.

Here is a great article showing the different hands on techniques for noise removal. https://www.soundonsound.com/techniques/noise-reduction-tool...
In my opinion none of the coins I mentioned is rock solid, but I have researched lots of coins, and currently these are the ones which I find most valuable compared to market cap. 3 years ago I made a very good bet with Ripple (almost exclusively invested in Ripple for 3 years, and achieved more than 30x returns), now we will see.
You cannot explore problem space without writing code for it. But once you have you spaghetti code how do you rewrite it to align with your new understanding? And what happens if you enhance your understanding even better while doing rewrite?
Good point. I hadn't thought of that.
The fun thing is that I think Ubuntu has not been bothering with non-PAE kernels for years now I think.

Time for Americans to start moving to India and waiting 20 years for permanent residency ;)
The traffic free routes for kids to bike to work is genius. The only reason we are worried about our 8 year old biking to work is that she doesn't have good presence to stop at intersections. I think it is a great idea, though, and glad I can tell her I bike to work every day. Looking forward to her biking, as well.
>Though primary reason of traveling for a conference is to hear that person speak at the conference, anything extra before/after talks that happens is bonus, not primary reason of travel.

Again, for you. I know many types whose primary reason is networking.
Just a thought about the "huge" salary difference. Are you taking the Purchasing Power Parity(PPP) into account? I know that PPP is too macro for comparing very specific cases but it does steer the discussion in the right direction.

Let's say, an engineer's monthly salary is $10,000 in the US and he can afford X level of arbitrary "comforts in life". To be able to afford the same X level of arbitrary "comforts of life" in India, he'd need just $3000 - $3500.

These numbers are for illustration purposes only. Actuals will vary. of course.
What about jQuery UI? We used that extensively back in the day. According to Wikipedia, its first release date was back in 2007.

The Scheme community obsessed over macro hygiene since the 1970's. Yet as of 1997, Scheme still had no error handling mechanism. The R5RS spec spoke about situations which perpetrate an "error", without defining what an error is, how an error can be caught, how an error can be programmatically generated at will, or even whether the image can continue running when an error occurs. (Yeah, macro hygiene will somehow save your project that is confounded by hacks to work around the lack of error handling!)

I'm not going to sit here re-evaluating Scheme, year by year, to see whether it's up to snuff yet.

Someone drop me an e-mail when Scheme gets a well-defined, left-to-right evaluation order, and when its imperative forms all return a stable value like #f or whatever.
It's a multinational corporation, I don't see a problem with it on a surface level since they have no real obligation to maintain some arbitrary percentage of American workers. The current climate of companies needing to continually push down cost to compete is the new normal and there will be various ramifications as further globalization opens up more cost saving opportunities. Maybe it will hit a turning point where we reevaluate how the health of firms are gauged but I doubt it.
Out of curiosity, how do you end up with a 148 MB HTML file?
OpenPGP and SHA verification
That is all technically correct (best kind). But that’s not how it’s viewed by the scores of people new to web development. Broadly speaking, you can use both to create a dynamic UI, just at very different levels of abstraction. And at the time when an ExtJS license cost hundreds of dollars and jQuery was picking up pace and was proper FOSS, someone new to web development would be much more likely to reach for jQuery.

The problem with jQuery was that it was almost good enough: it has a system of plugins which were abused to no end to make things like morals and calendars and whatnot. And then there was jQuery UI which promised all the loveliness if jQuery but for UI (I still shake a little when I remember it).

jQuery was and still is great as a helper for “I want to show/hide this thing on the page”. It’s just the show/hide behavior can quickly morph into 2-4K lines of spaghetti code manipulating all the UI and having all the business logic built in.
In Cuba often tourist dollars greatly outstrip the local economy. So you're ending up with a situation where qualified doctors are moving in to tourism - waiters, doormen - to earn more money.
I have fond memories of ExtJS until version 4 was released. I used to be huge advocate of extjs at our company, but I remember feeling horror and dismay seeing how down hill it went with 4.0. Communication with the community, their pricing policies, quality, perfomance ... too many issues. We pretty much stopped using it and ported all our projects away from it. It really was a sad day.

It was ultimately their mad push to make ExtJS "enterprise" ready and forget all the good people who helped them and were with them from the start. There really was this huge middle finger from Sencha to everyone around that time.
It'll never happen, but a sequel to the WarCraft movie would be nice. Might be nostalgia for playing so many hours of War.exe, and rereading the manual over and over again as a kid, but I thought it wasn't half bad. I'll take it over another Transformers movie...
Ageing? How about tech dumbing us down?
Or maybe it's not so simple, and IQ can also be changed by environment. It's not a crazy idea that people with more money have better access to education.
A concrete solution
It boggles my mind how places have set up toll roads, and then somehow negotiate the tolls to a third party. Just, why!?

(Alternatively, someone please educate me on how what I think I "know" there is false. Thanks! :) )
Would it? today's programmers are yesterdays mathematicians.

My understanding of technology bridges many islands - I know I'd be useful in the 19th or even 18th century because of my other characteristics.
Yeah, Python 3.6 is the default 3.x! Been waiting for that for years.

Isn't the opening of Snow Crash the scene where Hiro is delivering the pizza and he crashes his car and YT comes along and delivers the pizza for him?

If you can't sell an audience on the strength of that opening, you shouldn't be making television.
Which OVA are you talking about, the SAC compilation OVAs, or the Arise series? Both are by Production I.G., but had different directors and writers.
Hey Kenton, should've guessed you were behind this. Lovely design, great work.

I'd be curious to learn more about the implementation (did you lift the existing SW implementation from blink somehow, or reimplement it)?
These are very short duration flights aka ~35 min from EU to Japan. So you can predict anything in their path before it's an issue.

Also, you can design flight paths so they never intersect unlike aircraft that need to deal with weather.
That's assuming the $100 million flow in question can happen at all without the India piece of the puzzle. Another way to think about it might be "$100 million wealth flowed (and taxes paid on it, and salaries paid, &c), $90 million of which goes to India, vs. $0 wealth flowed (and so no taxes, no paychecks, etc.)" A lot depends on the accounting of where AT&T got the $100 million at the start of this story, and what spending that $100 million enables AT&T to do, whether this flow turns out to benefit both the US and India, mostly the US, mostly India, or neither.
Vinyl may not be the most practical method to listen to music. But it has become an analog pastime for me in my otherwise digital life. I've restored a few vintage turntables and receivers (70s & 80s era), as I enjoy their aesthetic and appreciate their quality construction. And the listening experience is particularly pleasing to me. I have access to dozens of great albums from my parents, making it a bit more practical. But there are quite few resources these days, locally and online, for affordable records - often much cheaper than digital, even. To each their own ;)
What's a software service you would pay for?

Well drawing strict conclusions in a field that's still highly debated by researchers does, yes.
What?

Haskell's competitive with everything but hand-tuned C code, consistently.

In a world where Python and Javascript are credible languages to orchestrate numeric computing, it seems ludicrous to imply that Haskell, which has superior code generation to these options in nearly every particular, is somehow "too slow."

What are your favorite/the best content marketing tools?
Content marketing has never been more relevant. This type of marketing isn’t just a trend anymore. So, what tools do you use on a day-to-day basis? Any favorites or ones you want to try?

I recently wrote a blog post about my favorite, I'd love if you checked it out. https://medium.com/@alexsiminoff/5-of-the-best-content-marketing-tools-f2f4db87f027
