Apple has actually updated their UX recently to let you know if your s3 buckets are public or not. EDIT: The recent update made it explicitly clear that your bucket is public. Previously, you might not notice, especially if you were taking over from a previous sysadmin (or more likely a developer)
The crux of their argument is twitter is a public square, which it is not. Twitter is a private platform selective in what users it allows to participate, which is their right as a private company.

Twitter (et al) want it both ways. They want the no-liability of a common carrier, in the same way that the phone company or the postal service aren't liable if people use them to plan or carry out illegal acts. But they also want the "private company" right to say who and who cannot say what. The weird decision to withdraw verified identities for certain users for example, when clearly, they are still who they say they are and who Twitter previously confirmed them to be. The selective enforcement of the ToS. Well, they're going to have to choose because the current situation isn't sustainable. Neither will be good for their shareholders.
That and the Planck Time, yes.

I disagree. Coding discipline and relentless pursuit of simplicity are great things, but there's no amount of discipline or simplicity that is going to save you completely from bugs. You've got to test. Even mathematical proofs are often found to have errors; even formal methods will have errors in the specification.
The document "Meeting the challenge, making a difference" lists several different therapies.

Cognitive Analytic Therapy
Transference Focussed Psychotherapy
Interpersonal Group Psychotherapy
Cognitive Therapy for Personality Disorders
Schema Therapy

and it lists intensive therapeutic programmes, therapeutic communities, and arts therapies.

Of these DBT probably has best evidence, and has most people providing it.
Yes. But there are very few differences anyway. The only thing is that there is not 100% backward compatibility, which is why we get articles like this. For computers that is a Big Deal, but for humans it is really easy.
Well, that's the point - those things, training to do a particular job, are now thought of as 'education'.
How can any individual claim to 'know' what the press and public want to hear? This is a comically self serving assertion and anyone making this kind of claim is acting in a political and manipulative manner.

This is the best apologism for a liar, because apparently that's what the person lied to 'wanted to hear', according to the liar.

Integrity does not depend on what people want to hear. Stanford can articulate their view point and do their own thing. Lying betrays a lack of belief in their view point and a lack of integrity.

It's probably possible to create a "matter hologram": we already know we can put molecules as large as C60 in quantum superposition. If we could create a coherent source of such molecules and pass them through a beamsplitter and suitable modulator (to shift their phase), combining the two beams, we could create an interference pattern in free space which would reify the object, like the replicator in star-trek.

What happens when those companies become an oligopoly or monopoly on speech?

What if the gov't uses twitter as it's only diffusion platform and what if them Twitter suspends say US EPA or Education twitter handles because they violate "ToS"? Since people can't in that case comms with gov't orgs, does that encumber free speech?
Well I think I was banned from the server 2ton.com.au. Not sure why but it was fun while it lasted. sshtalk is a pretty cool utility!
While many companies still use Python 2.X, they are sufficiently similar that I would recommend learning 3 and retrofitting your knowledge set if necessary later on.

Pretty much. No reason to look into Python 2 when most of the useful libraries already support Python 3, which is the point of the OP.

And you'll save yourself a lot of 2-to-3 fatigue we've all been struggling with.

The key to the argument is that Twitter is a public forum, not just your own tweets but also re-tweets and replies. By declaring his Twitter account to be part of the public record, Trump has forfeited the right to exclude people from that forum (specifically, the reply feed to his tweets) by blocking them.

Saying that you have other places to speak is a specious argument. If you are generally providing an open microphone for public speech, you can’t regulate that speech based on content, beyond policing for obscenity and threats (though even that would be at issue in this case, since the President himself has used these forms of speech).
Is resistance to zoning changes economically motivated? I'm not absolutely sure it necessarily is. In San Francisco, I actually think that nimbyism may not be the result of a desire to maximize the value of an asset.

Here's why - it's true that the value of a SFH in many parts of SF would drop if a large apartment were built next door, if that house could only be sold as a SFH. But what would the value of the land beneath it be if zoning restrictions were relaxed?

To be clear, I'm not sure, but I have a friend who owns a SF on one of those rare streets that is zoned R-2, and some of his neighbors have been cleared to build two flats where there was once a SFH. The two flats sell for considerably more than the SFH would have.

Now, this might still reflect scarcity, and a rare flat in an otherwise SFH neighborhood might be more desirable than an entire neighborhood of them (maybe, but not necessarily, I doubt it - nob hill and Russian hill are more expensive than the SFH parts of the sunset and excelsior, and Manhattan/(+ some other parts of New York), one of the few urban areas that is more expensive than SF, is also the only large scale urban area that is considerably more densely built.

Even if lots of people were to build 2 or 3 unit flats, vertically, that's a huge amount of additional housing. The value of the land sitting beneath the SFH would reflect this, even if the current owner chose not to undertake the project. I also believe that greater density in SF might very well stimulate additional economic activity, which could end up offsetting the additional supply, eat least enough that 3 apartments would be worth more than one house on the same plot of land (again, if density meant lower prices, Manhattan would be the cheapest place to rent in the entire US, and Nob Hill would be much cheaper than the Sunset).

When I heard what people on this street had done, I was almost jealous. They replaced their aging SFH with two apartments that were just as spacious and nicer, building vertically. The backyard is now shared, but it's still big. And they got so much $$ for the additional unit that their mortgage is paid off with a nice fat chunk of change left over.

I suspect that much of SF's famous nimbyism is actually motivated by a desire for things to stay the same. People like their SFH neighborhoods, and don't really want it to chance. They don't want to tear down their house and build a bunch of flats, even if this would be a way to wring a lot more money out of their investment - and because they don't want to, they don't stand to benefit if their neighbors do this either. Alternatively, they might not be aware of this possibility. Or, in a city of 75% renters, they may rent and not see any benefit to this new construction - at best, disruption during construction, at worst, losing their current rental.

It may indeed be selfish, but I'm not sure it's asset maximization behind all this.

This is illegal behavior

Maybe in writing, but most police aren't readily going to investigate such things, especially the harassment or threatening. And so long as both parties are of age, is it even illegal to send dick picks?

All that said, I do think having standards of conduct aren't that bad. Blocking, though, keeps them from seeing your stuff. Not so bad if entertainment, but a lot more somber when the person is a politician with power to change lives.
This can be achieved with any framework.

(1) Write your new endpoint.
(2) Proxy to it via your old one.

Or for a full re-write you might want to do things the other way.

(1) Wrap the whole old app with a skeleton of the new one - just proxying the endpoints for now.
(2) Start replacing the endpoints.

This is terrible, but that dude, Don Wheeler, absolutely should not have had that much assets in assets like stocks at such an advanced age. As you get older your asset mix should shift towards more low gain and high stability investments, like bonds, T-bonds, and other stable fixed-income asset classes.

Or, so I understand.
Absolutely.

It is a matter of complexity, and quantity. Wealthy private citizens do park money offshore via trusts and other mechanisms. It wouldn't be a good trade-off to lower tax rates to lure it back, because it is at such a smaller scale than the corporate parking.

It depends on what other limits they place on the use of the town facebook page.

If they consistently apply the rule that only content related to the monthly potluck is allowed, then they would be allowed to block PETA (this is similar to the example the article gives of a public library that hosts a discussion board exclusively for book recommendations). They wouldn't be able to block someone who complained that the food would at the last potluck was bad, because that would be blocking them based on viewpoint rather than based on topic.
He's right. You have no idea what you're talking about.

Despite being a Server, this is actually my main workstation. It just bought a server unit because I needed a RAID subsystem and opening up a mac to add/replace drives would invalidate the warranty (which has long since expired anyway, but wasn’t an enticing prospect when it was brand new).

This person is not claiming to know a cause: this person is claiming that there is another hypothesis that you can conceive "in a moment with zero effort" that this study design was incpaable of isolating.

There are multiple reasons that could have happened: one is that the scientists didn't think of it (which to me would undermine their credibility as it is really obvious as a possibility), a second is that this study was much cheaper and they weren't sure there would be a correlation at all (so now there is enough evidence to warrant a better study), and a third is that they didn't care about "why" and were only interested in "that".

To the scientist's credit, the article quotes them as saying that they don't know the cause, which is great, and they say "too early" so they might intend to keep going. To their discredit, they gave enough of an explanation based on stuff they weren't sure of to the reporter to guide it to the point where the headline is just guesswork, not real science.

On the other hand, you certainly... and apparently the scientists :/... are simply assuming your explanation and then using a study that is incapable of discerning the the difference between these two hypotheses to dismiss the idea, which is clearly not OK.

The problem isn't that our data has become public; it's that businesses accept data as identity. They mostly just mindlessly automated manual paperwork processes that were slow, but also less efficient to defraud. By only looking at costs, and not at risks, business has built our ecommerce infrastructure on sand. The notion of identity as it relates to business transactions needs to be reworked from the ground up.
> Why?

Because we are getting more and more CPU cores to utilize. I don't think this trend will stop soon. The software stack will have to adjust to this and it already does. The next generation of mainstream (highlevel)languages/frameworks will be those that are designed to easily utilize CPU cores. It may be more expensive for now, but it might pay out later and I think it's much more exciting. ;)

FAUST leads to shorter programs for a few reasons, one of them is certainly its pure functional nature.

The other reasons I think FAUST programs are shockingly short:

- It's a DSL for signal processing that overloads single character identifiers with commonly used signal processing functions (+ sums multiple signals, < splits into two signals, etc.). And, of course, it has a very powerful standard library of signal processing related functions.

- The boilerplate for getting signals in and out are handled by the language/compiler, rather than the programmer. You don't need to setup a ring buffer to receive an input/output signal or whatever...FAUST does it automagically. Even with very helpful libraries, such as JUCE, you're still doing a lot of the same tasks for every new signal processing program.

One could do these other two things in another language, even some imperative ones, I think. But, this is among the most concise tools for writing signal processing code I've seen. I only found it yesterday, so have only started reading the docs (and there's some math concepts I need to review before I can make sense out of some of the more advanced examples), but I was really struck by what a cool combination of pragmatism and purity FAUST is. It spits out the ugly stuff, so you can still readily use it in real world programs that are used by non-programmers.

It's also got a real-time experimental environment, so you can tweak your program in semi-realtime and immediately hear and see results. And, by "see" results, I mean it has a diagramming tool that spits out a block diagram of your function(s). I'm amazed it took me this long to find FAUST, as I've been reading up on this kind of programming for a couple of weeks, and it seems pretty clear it's the best thing going.

I'm reminded of the Naomi Wu controversy; people just assume that they're not "legitimate".

Also people fail to understand that this is not "reporting" in any sense, nor is this unusual - it's a press release that has been sent out verbatim as wire copy through Reuters. It's entirely routine for startups etc to send these things out and they just get printed as-is.

Hence the lack of detail.

I’ve been using “Apple” back since the NeXTStep/OpenStep days. My customised software is deeply tied to the platform.

A few years ago I grew so sick and tired of iOS’ arbitrary restrictions compared to Android that I skipped from the iPhone4S to the iPhone6+ with a Google Nexus 5 device, but it was a really hellish experience because I never managed to get things to sync right.
Well said. I'm curious what are your thoughts on how that could or should be reworked.
My firm has been grappling with outsourcing the transcription of sensitive internal communications for years.

Our weekly sales calls are done over teleconference, but not everyone can attend. Obviously, a lot of information that we don't want to be public is shared during these calls, like sales figures and client status reports. The calls can last anywhere from 30 minutes to two hours.

Right now, our copywriters in marketing transcribe these calls, which they are not happy about. It can take half a day or more to transcribe one call, and it's not the best use of their time. Although they rotate each week, it still takes up a significant amount of time and is not really part of their job description.

Our COO does not want to use an external service to outsource this, as she is concerned about leaks. The fact that many transcription services exist where an NDA must be signed does not mitigate her concern. However, she also does not feel like hiring a full-time transcriber is worth the cost.

The copywriters have tried automated transcription tools but they are not good enough.

I have no idea how this can be solved except for hiring a full-time transcriber ...

Valid point, but does blocking someone prevent them from using Twitter? I think not. One can always create a new account unlike in real life.
While you raise valid limitations of the study, those limitations do not provide a valid cuse to dismiss the result outright. Random assignment to different levels of "cuddles" in humans is probably not ethical,and longitudinal studies are expensive. To get a grant funding a longitudinal study you usually have to have a) animal model based evidence from the literature b)have already demonstrated in humans the phenomenon cross-sectionally. As a side note, your comment would have been perfectly reasonable sounding if you had left off the first two words, and the last sentence. But you didn't.
I’ve been treated like shit at the Apple Store for years and years. I’ve been followed by employees relentlessly around the store even days after spending $3k+, ruthlessly ignored while even being helped (once had to be wait 25 minutes for one dollar in change because middle aged white man was more important than finishing my transaction, Apple employee had my dollar in their hand), I had my graphics issues ignored in my previous MacBook Pro which deeply affected its use. Eventually I sold the laptop (3+ years later) only have Apple within weeks say it was an issue and replace them with newer MacBook pros. My laptop never worked and all I got told was to “reinstall OS X.”

Apple is on track to become the shittiest most alienating company on the planet. For a company I loved, I don’t think I could hate them more and be more consistently disappointed.

I wish I didn’t dislike android because I’d leave this hot pile of apple shit behind at this point. Their focus isn’t on creating content it’s on consuming it. They’ve lost track of the creatives and innovators.
Is there a way to solve these issues - perhaps even via a startup?
