To be clearer the last sentence is fine. The entire section that precedes it is extremely intellectually dishonest. You started with the thesis that regular people aren't aware of negative stories about uber, pinged one user, got the desired result and stopped and presented your argument.

You presented her as an avid reader of CNN a functionally irrelevant detail as if to say if even SHE doesn't know about bad press about uber obviously the plebs don't.

Unfortunately there isn't any representative sample size of one and the fact that she reads CNN on her ipad tells you little about what she reads on CNN.

You could even be correct but the way you prove your point is so badly argued that you do a disservice to your own point.

You should avoid making your arguments about appeals to emotional reasoning.
Very cool... the Museum of HP Calculators is also a good one:

http://www.hpmuseum.org/

A more user-oriented HP site is here: https://www.hpcalc.org/

These were really amazing little machines, particularly for their time. HP had a custom CPU architecture optimized for low power consumption and calculator operations (think BCD floating point). By the time they got to the HP-28C and -19B, they had a custom OS/Language that had elements of both Forth and Lisp, and was pervasive throughout the software stack. (ie: the user programming language was a subset of the same language HP used to program the calculator itself.)
When they are ready, they too can join him on Uber.
Agree. And you can definitely get some of both. My original badly made point was that you cannot prioritize form over function and get away with it. Now that I think about it I guess the reverse is true (ie you cannot prioritize function over form and call it a day).
San-Francisco, CA | VP of Digital Marketing | Full-time | Onsite | https://www.betabrand.com

VP of Digital Marketing

The perfect job for a particular brand of genius.

Our company brings new clothing to life every day through a vast, crowdsourcing/crowdfunding community. We interact with millions of people via ads, direct-marketing emails, and, ultimately, sales. Your job in a nutshell: multiply those numbers!

Betabrand is seeking a special person to head our marketing department — and be an integral part of senior management. This is a great job, with a great team and a hefty budget. You’ll enjoy a competitive salary, stock options, and numerous benefits.

This is the candidate we're looking for:

Has 7-10 years of E-Commerce experience — selling to women, ideally.
Has overseen acquisition, retention, strategy, data/analytics, and customer service.
Is a seasoned direct marketer, not simply a brand builder. E-commerce businesses like Betabrand are essentially attention day traders, so we’re looking for a creative, quantitative operator.
This is a one-of-a-kind marketing job because:

Betabrand is a nonstop design community — think Facebook for fashion. Because of all the publishing events on our site, no week is the same.
We’ve grown to the point where major brands are starting to use our platform, so you’ll be interacting with fashion industry leaders who are excited to put Betabrand to the test.
We have a great creative history (Adweek Top 100) and are covered in the news regularly.
We’re looking for someone who wants to make their mark in the marketing world — and enjoy the ride with a great creative staff. Sound like you? If so, we can’t wait to meet you.

Please contact Betabrand CEO Chris Lindland at chris@betabrand.com for more information.
And you can also export the data without writing Swift apps, if what I’m reading here is true:

Maybe it’s creepy for you or a bunch of others. I find it funny, at least until it’s used with caution and in the right contexts.
We’re adults, sex and technology (along with a lot of other things) are parts of our life, I really don’t see the problem here.
I think your math on that last bit is off. The article states they have 1.2GW, which is somewhere between 40% and 50% of Amazon's power usage (started 2016 at 40%, expect to exit at 50%). That would peg 100% at somewhere between 2.4 and 3.

I've been in a lot of garish, modern/brutal and cold libraries. Some with A/C that actually worked but was always out of control - for whatever reason, a lot of very "modern" buildings have crazy bad HVAC. Either too much or too litle.

Of course that can be fixed, but why not something like an updated version of the latter library?

This article over-analyzes the situation and gives Lenin and co too much credit. What happened was very simple:

* Russia is in the midst of World War I and things are rather rough for people.

* Leftist/liberals use the situation to their advantage and pressure Nicholas into resigning in Feb/Mar 1917 ending the monarchy and instituting the "provisional govenment" which was rather weak and inexperienced. They do dumb things like pardon all prisoners.

* Germany takes advantage of the weakness and sends in Lenin to sabotage the weak government.

* In Oct 1917 this armed gang of Lenin, Trotsky and Stalin takes over. Having realized how relatively easy it was, they ensure that they stay in power by publicly executing anyone who even hints at descent.

* 28 years later in 1945, Germany surrenders to Stalin, one of the very people it paid to topple Russia.

Edit: The lesson is rather simple: any however well-intentioned revolution is most often followed by a coup whereby ruthless criminals take over and in the end everyone suffers. The liberal parties who pushed for a constitutional monarchy and democracy inadvertently caused over 100 million deaths and a century of misery for their country and the world.

Very cool.

I've been keeping a plaintext worklog at the day job to help with time-tracking. Logging time in our system as I go is slow and painful, so I just write it down daily and enter it all at end of week (month :|).

I have a file for each month (e.g. `2017-12-timelog`), it stays open all day, and I just prepend entries like:

Dec 1 Fri
9 - 10: emails/updates
- 11:30: BB-X10 make the list update async
- 3:30: hacker news
- 5: BB-X10 unit tests

I'm going to try jrnl for this use case -- feels like it'll be even simpler.
Mostly you’re trading spatial real estate on your sensor for spectral resolution. A conmon approach is to use all vertical pixels for wavelength data. By using a diffraction grating to disperse the light vertically you get a view of the world one pixel high and n pixels wide. By scanning the scene (such as an orbiting satellite) you build up the missing spatial dimension of your data.

You can make your own:
https://publiclab.org/wiki/spectrometry

Many other versions are variants of this that disperse light in different ways to retain a spatial image.

Other approaches include building sophisticated sensors such as the foveon technology from Sigma.

Color TV cameras were once insanely expensive. This is the RCA TK-41, the first good color TV camera.[1] Each image orthicon alone (it used three) was about $10,000 in the 1950s. The camera in your phone costs about $10 and far outperforms a TK-41.

Very fair, I picked it cause of all the dismiss methods it's the most visually appealing since the others aren't really based on interacting with the UI much.

I'm working on some alternative palettes right now, and will do my best not to make it worse. One option I'm considering is allowing users to customize the palette entirely by picking 4 colors themselves from a list.

Also while I'm not sure if this is accurate, the android developer mode settings offer the ability to simulate a color space based on various color blindnesses (Monochromacy, Deuteranomaly, Protanomaly, and Tritanomaly) so I'm working with that too.
Bit of a nitpick, but I'd rather we organize like actuaries rather than lawyers. A rigorous exam is fine, but I think it's important to keep multiple educational paths open. I'd hate to see a single accredited degree path as the only option for licensing[1].

In short, a math major with a CS emphasis should be allowed to take the exam. Or, in my opinion, even someone who is just really great at self study.

[1] I know, there are some alternative paths in law, but still very limited.

Is there any appliance or software that can passively monitor a network to see if any ME commands and related data flow back and forth from an attacker?

It seems to me that using ME as an _actual_ backdoor would be only an occasional thing, (maybe once in a lifetime thing), but it would be so cool to at least know when it is happening and maybe capture some packets.

Graphic India raises $5M to build a Marvel-like digital comic brand for India
>the nature of the Bolshevik movement was that it implied a cultural revolution, because it meant peasants leaving the land and coming into mines, factories, cities; sometimes sending money home, sometimes returning to home to help bring in the harvest but at the same time buying into an idea of modernisation – hyper-modernisation, really; that the answer to Russia's backwardness and poverty was to sweep away the old peasant world.

The cultural revolution rapidly (in a span of few decades) lifted Russia from a rural state to an urban one, and brought a changed cultural consciousness. Strong state institutions like schools, councils, enterprises, and theatre furthered the social progression.

>As a nation, Russians are the last victims of their own revolution. It's very difficult for Russia to become a nation, because it has this imperial legacy and because it was the 'Russian' Revolution – so they can't[, like other post-Soviet nations], blame 'the Russians' for their revolution. That's why, I think, the centenary is going to be so quiet: it's not a history that the Russians can use to go anywhere; it doesn't have any positive uses for them. In Latvia they can celebrate liberation, in Ukraine they can celebrate independence; but in Russia it's very hard to do that.

The most critical observation of the article. Other states like Germany, France, typically deflect previous revolutions that aren't compatible with the current model of their state. Russia does no such thing, in no small part because:

>what happened in 1991 was just collapse; there wasn't any democratic revolution to create a new state. All that happened was that the Soviet state collapsed and new political elites, largely made up of the old ones, found themselves back in power. Putin's state is still essentially the inheritor of the Soviet state, in every aspect – in its attitude to power, in its attitude to the country – and that means that many of the old reflex-attitudes of Russians – the unquestioning acceptance of authority, the acceptance of the need for the state to use violence, the protective role of the Cheka/KGB/FSB – are all still there. For Russia to become a democracy will not really happen until Russians begin properly to reconsider what the revolution meant in terms of its legacies, in terms of those deep cultural aspects of thinking. And I don't see that happening.
