I certainly agree that there are still errors, wheel slip being a major one. However, that does not cause an accumulating/ever-compounding error in speed nor distance travelled in the way that, say, a one-time error from an IMU's accelerometer does.

The lack-of-integration common in wheeled ground vehicles is highly beneficial to long-term speed & distance accuracy; it's a main reason why odometers were accurate for literally thousands of years prior to anyone knowing how to build an equally-accurate aircraft/spacecraft IMU. (The Romans were able to achieve <0.5% errors over hundreds of miles by the first century AD, something that no aircraft IMU was consistently able to achieve until after WWII).
Spending $400-$500 to save me the tax on a $17.40 fractional stock sale sale doesn't seem like a prudent investment.

> Bitcoin "as app" (once or if it works) will be more like cash payments, privacy wise.

One massive caveat is that all Bitcoin transactions are public, traceable, and permanently stored in the Bitcoin network. In most ways it's worse than cash, in some ways it's probably even worse than credit cards.
Numerous cases of backdoored wallets, or poorly implemented weak private keys generated from javascript, or straight up theft from deposits.

While a tiny aspect of dealing with Bitcoin is secure (key pairs) [1], actually using Bitcoin has proven to be a mess for almost the majority of users.

This is not a user friendly experience for most users.

You're just choosing a different set of moral rules. That's OK -- I'm not expecting everybody to have the same I follow. You could just state that outright instead of making a clever twist of words about it.

As if a group can complain against discrimination only if their pain is as big as another groups?

BBT as a minstrel show -- which is a way of mocking another group -- is an apt simile, regardless of whether blacks suffered worse fate or not.

Which is not even relevant anyway: what blacks suffered had little to do with minstrel shows, those were the least of their troubles. If parent had compared BBT to slavery, you'd have a point. But he made a much more precise argument.
Although that example wasn't actually an ad. It was the writer's idea to put that in.

The points I'm making are, it's not actually illegal. And there's nothing involving the equal protection amendment here.
Exactly, the only people I know who like it are non-technical (e.g. my mother-in-law) who like it because "lol, nerds" (disclaimer: I'm not saying there aren't technical people out there who like BBT).

Honestly this sounds like a maintenance nightmare. You would have to track API changes not from one provider but three or more, and figure out what to do when there are differences in the data, and how to integrate features that are similar but not identical. Maintaining just a couple of those systems would be a full time job.
I came from using Vagrant at a previous company and from my experience, Docker is just more lightweight, portable, and user friendly. Share a file/folder? Expose a port? Get an image and run a container? You can do it easily using Docker cli. You want a UI tool that makes that task even easier for you, get Kitematic.

Also, Docker just has more development and maturity at this stage that it makes deployments easier.
"Identify each atom individually" won't scale very far for complex materials. In short, I think it's unwarrantedly optimistic to assume that our current lab techniques, optimized for natural and human-fabricated materials, will immediately figure out (hypothetically) alien technology. No assumption is completely safe; even "made of atoms" is not guaranteed. Probable, but not guaranteed.
At Google, Eric Schmidt Wrote the Book on Adult Supervision
It's simply because they have zero realization, that's not what the title means. Also evident in the article, they're clearly clueless.

What you're seeing in Thailand is respect for Buddhism itself, and a way to keep people interested in Buddhism. In Buddhism there are levels of realization, and a monk is a zero on that scale. Not sure how else to clarify. There are other titles, normally translated as Venerable, which should indicate at least some modest level of accomplishment. But to cite a monk as having any idea at all is fantasy, you just put on a robe, and anyone is suddenly a monk, no education or knowledge required, let alone realization.

After freelancing for 3 years, the most difficult part for me was getting paid for my work.

Communicating job requirements was not always difficult. I even enjoyed the process and the challenge. But, I learned there was no way to charge for the work I did both accurately and ethically. This resulted in constantly taking one for the team and doing a ton of extra free work. That extra work also made transitions between jobs require scheduling days or weeks of just in case time.

Checks arrived late about 9 out of times. 2 weeks late was the norm but up to 3 months late is what I learned to expect. There was apparently nothing I could do about this. I used a PO box to isolate issues with paper checks and communicated electronic payment info on all invoices.

I didn’t like the varying levels of quality demanded and the terms of negotiating them. I really like doing great work, but almost more importantly, I needed to do great work for my portfolio. I would make sacrifices for projects that would help me get more work. So, I would take the job with an agreement to do that, and later be told “we decided we just need something quick. spend as little time as possible” due surprise money/time constraints. This led to work of significantly quality lower than what was already in my portfolio, unless I did more extra free work to make it good.
It doesn't imply there is a correct path to code. It implies that the best path to the goal for this program is to minimize the opportunity for exhaustion to be a variable.
Definitely reconsider watching Southpark. The last few seasons are the sharpest social and political satire on television.
I can tell you what attracted me to Docker as an early adopter (while @Mailgun):

* Very good user and developer experience. Docker felt like git for containers. Docker run, docker ps and other commands are awesome.

* Very good and innovative build system. Dockerfiles are great and allow to build complex containers and efficiently package software in a convenient way.

* Solving image distribution problems. Docker pull/push are great.

* Layering system leading with build and run optimization.

Overall docker not only provided a great UX, but combined all the patterns above in a very expressive system, great job done by the team.
They have focused relentlessly on making it easy to use for every day development. Solaris Zones, BSD Jails, and LXC were around first, but were (relatively) arcane and finicky, and no one ever looked at bringing them to non-linux (or non-bsd for jails) dev laptops. OTOH, Docker made a good (enough) implementation, and went for developers, developers, developers. They brought it to Mac, to Windows, they engaged a wide audience and mostly listened.

Focusing on day to day development for users came with tradeoffs -- ops oriented features came much later, getting serious about security came later, etc. These are all important things... but less so than ease of use and adoption.

The pattern is not new, the same thing happened with Rails -- the concepts in rails were not novel, the extreme ease of getting started and getting to useful really fast was the killer feature (to get it going). After it got a big ecosystem, it got the quality aspect (mostly by replacing itself with merb).

The lesson: if you want wide adoption, build something good and reduce every barrier to adoption you encounter. The most important features are the ones getting in way of people using it, not the ones people using it are having. You'll need to solve them, but solve adoption first.

I'm reminded of the first season of Survivor.

I didn't watch, but followed along on (IIRC) a Diplomacy discussion forum of all places; it seemed clear that Richard was playing an extremely strategic game, even deliberately sandbagging an endurance contest when it was down to 3 players, knowing that the woman who won it would have to eliminate the other, much more popular male contestant to have a chance to win the vote of those who'd already been dispatched.

Oh yes. The same could be said about IE. In fact, I personally have no problems with IE implementing new features. The problem with IE was never that it was standards-incompliant. Heck, they were the de facto standard and there software used even today that won't run on anything but IE.

The problem with IE was that it was a shitty bloated browser. And to be honest, nothing shook its dominance before Chrome. Not even Firefox.
You're making it seem like my default assumption is completely off-base, and yet I think that "harassing people for having 'obvious' fake names" is reaching so hard, my assumption is almost innocuous by comparison.

I mean, just think about it: why would people harass someone with a name of "xyz123" but not harass someone with a handle of "xyz123." The distinction is a non-distinction and, yes, people are being hysterical for no good reason.

Publications like The Verge (and Vox, and Kotaku, to name a few others) pander this kind of social hysteria as a means to get clicks, and by extension, ad revenue. I personally think it's disgusting.

Personally, I totally hate it but a lot of people basically turn on the TV when they walk into a room.

Financially though, it's not clear this would work for Netflix. Now, depending upon how they pay for a given piece of content, they're paying for a lot of programming being used as background noise. You'd have to get enough people buying Netflix subscriptions because of this added option to offset the higher costs.

I wrote a prototype of a questionnaire system using jQuery Mobile version 1.0, to see what it was like [1].

The problem I wanted to solve mapped pretty closely to exactly what jQuery Mobile was designed to do: page through a bunch of screens with controls on them. But the results were pretty "blah", and I needed a lot more control over the presentation and behavior than it provided.

Instead, I just used raw jQuery, which worked fine.

But I did use end up using one jQuery UI file "jquery.ui.widget.js" for its "$.widget" Widget Factory [2] and Widget Plugin Bridge [3], which provided some useful plumbing. But I didn't use any of jQuery UI's actual widgets. I also used $.widget for jQuery pie menus [4].

If there's a better alternative or idiom than $.widget, I'd love to know! But it worked fine for me, and I didn't need to drag in the rest of jQuery UI.

The weird thing about jQuery is: a "jQuery object", the result of querying a selector, is not an actual widget or DOM object -- it's the result of a query, which might contain any number of "objects", or none. It's ephemeral, not for storing persistent state like a widget.

So you need another way to represent and bridge messages from "jQuery objects" created by querying selectors, to actual stateful "widget" objects associated with concrete DOM objects, and that's what $.widget provides.

It creates a new "widget" object the first time you call it, and after that it updates and sends commands to the existing widget (or widgets).

Because of the way jQuery selectors work, you can actually create and configure a whole bunch of widgets at the same time with one $.widget command! Which is useful: "make each object with this class an instance of that widget with these parameters". And you can use $.widget with jQuery selectors to update parameters and broadcast messages to multiple widgets at once.

Suffice it to say, it's not how you'd design a user interface widget toolkit if you were you starting from Scratch [5]. But it is, if you were starting from jQuery.

Bringing the Power of Big Data Analytics to Building Energy Usage
The article claims more than it shows and attributes the contestants successes to the wrong factor.

According to the article, host Drew Carey was sure Terry Kneiss was cheating, "When revealing Terry's winning bid, Carey didn’t really celebrate; he was sure that the man had cheated and presumes the source of the host's reaction. Footage of the moment shows Carey's uncharacteristically subdued reaction." and linked to a recording of the show. Later the article claims host Drew Carey had "presumably, unending ire".

Neither claim is backed by evidence. Not only is there no information in the article indicating whether Carey was "uncharacteristically subdued" or carrying any ire, but also there's no evidence Kneiss cheated. What Kneiss did was properly called preparation, homework, or research. These are all complimentary terms which properly frame what Kneiss and other winning contestants do. It's poor editing on the article's part to choose the language they did and explain much later in the piece that there was no cheating going on. The article claims that some contestants "exploit the vulnerabilities" of game shows but this language too places the onus on the wrong party, the contestant.

I'm reminded of a similarly poor accusation made against people who do well at gambling casinos in card games; they're sometimes said to be "card counting" because they mentally track which cards they've seen played in the game and use that information to compute which hands are likely to come up. This phrase is said in the context of placing the blame on the player, as if they've done something wrong. But what they're being accused of is indistinguishable from what reasonable people call paying attention. Fortune may favor the bold, but luck certainly favors preparation and a keen eye (be it studying recordings of broadcast episodes, watching a show for years on end, tracking what's been played, or taking notes based on broadcast information).

If you want to play games with people who pay attention, don't be lazy in setting up the game. Don't do what CBS did on "Press Your Luck" (and certainly don't threaten not to promptly pay out when keen observers win as the article claims CBS initially did). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Press_your_luck#Michael_Larson has more information on how Larson paid attention and used the information he gleaned to win record winnings.
They nailed the developer experience which allowed so many people to build upon their interface.
TV shows are always like this. Random would mean that really tall people or really fat people would get on, which would look weird — people look bigger on TV, and most TV people tend to be smaller.
