We know photos can be doctored. Now it's coming to video: what's the big deal?

A document, a quote, a rumor, any piece of information really, has to be evaluated in context; is it plausible that Michelle Obama would strip on camera? It's so far out of the realm of possibilities that there really isn't anything to debate.

His multiplier effect was higher by making tons of money and then giving it away, rather than working for charitable causes directly.

For example, take two simplified cases:

1. He makes a lot of money, and as a direct result of his fortune and generosity, he can effect [1000 employees * 10 years] = 10,000 man-years of charity work

2. He works directly at a charitable institution and performs 30 direct man-years of charity work, but makes no appreciable amount of money to multiply his efforts

If you're interested in a better explanation of this with regard to charity, I would check out Singer's book "The Most Good You Can Do", which is an exploration on the theory of effective altruism.
> Why would any company want to encourage any employee to come to work sick and maybe contagious?

I noticed such policies at some companies which had a very high sick leave percentage. Sometimes it's difficult to determine if someone is faking being sick. I guess one way of to try and solve that is giving people money. I hope nobody does this when the sick leave percentage is average due to mentioned working while sick is bad result.

This is why I'm happy to live in a country like France where the government takes part in deploying those infrastructures (by investing money in the deployment). They planned to equip 50% of the territory by 2017 (which was achieved), and 100% by 2022.

Can't say I'm happy about this. Type inference really doesn't belong in Java in my opinion.

Not only is it ambiguous to developers who might be maintaining the code later, I find it much worse for readability. People tend to start writing OO code like it is Javascript which is is never good.
I don't think that I did. Just pointing out some recurring themes, generally. We don't have that many examples and "regulation" is a fairly squishy category. But, I think anyone who's worked in a business where the word "compliance" comes up regularly has a clear idea of what this means.

Incumbent friendliness is a real concern. In my experience, it is taken as a given by industries facing potential "regulation".

There isn't a big enough sample size of countries for you to conclude this.

Most of the Turkish people I've talked to in London think Erdogan is a crook and they say their country is hugely divided but people are afraid to speak up.

Because the largest companies that European citizens are using and that breaking the law are American.

And as far as I know, there is zero European company doing the same thing on such a level.

That's what you call cultural differences. It's impercievable that another human being can think in some ways.

> Isn't this like saying Christianity and democracy can't coexist?

Typical western misunderstanding of islam, treating all religions as equally stupid or equally good, islam, unlike christianity, is inherently immersed in politics since day one. Mohammed was a political figure and a "warrior" who subjugated the disbelievers to his will by all means, the "caliph" means in arabic, successor, the prophet's successor, it's his duty, according the quran to wage war on all the disbelievers until they submit to the true word of god.

Christianity itself, on the other hand, is almost has nothing to do with politics according to the new testament.

This might not directly answer your question but i’m sure it would help you a lot.. No one deserves to be cheated on, especially when your full loyalty lies with the betrayer of your trust. Initially, I thought I was just feeling insecure when my wife would just be on her phone at odd hours, until I decided to take a chance to know, knowing is better than self doubts and it was exactly what happened when I employed the services of this particular guy(MASTERSHIELD55@GMAIL .COM) I came across by chance to help check her phone out thoroughly. Now I know when she’s telling the truth and how to curtail her, I think it is not a drastic step if it'll make you feel better. My life got better, I stopped using my precious time to bother about her indiscretions and channeled my energy positively. His services includes: phone call hacks,messages,contacts,social media(viber, whatsapp,facebook, kik e.t.c),emails,Gallery and videos hack,gps location tracking,calendars and reminders.. You can reach him through his email or on WhatsApp Messenger +1 (628) 203 7309 .
I remember the 90s internet. It was a neat place but I wouldn't call it very useful by modern standards.
No, I am not ignorant.

I believe the original context was looking for "success" as it relates to VC funding, that is, people who are successful at starting or leading startup companies and bringing them to a successful IPO or buyout. That's the type of people that VCs want to work with.

Gates didn't take (much) VC money, and VCs aren't going to look for people who plan to bootstrap to success. In this context, I regard Microsoft as one success, even though the company had many successful products.

Jobs was successful with Apple and Pixar; the first was angel funded and the second was mostly funded by Jobs' wealth. Still, I count that as two successes, even though Apple certainly had many successful products while Jobs was CEO.

Many people have had one success (by VC standards), but not been able to have another success. Jim Clark has had three such successes.
It’s an acceptable kind of HN comment. A link in the article is generally easy to miss and probably others missed it too.

Admittedly the article did talk enough about the other thing that it’d be pretty hard to miss if you read the whole thing, but I think we can forgive it still. Perhaps the parent to your comment opened the page and saw the video but didn’t bother to read the article. I think that’s fine too.

I always read comments first and in fact quite often I read the comments only. As long as we don’t derail the discussion completely by starting a top-level comment about how we perceive something based on the title alone I think it’s fine. That includes it being fine to mention things that you are reminded of by the title as long as you phrase it correctly. In my opinion of course.

I really thought that this was one of the rare things virtually everyone agreed upon - trying to be productive all the time is counterproductive. I've always known some "real-life min-maxers" but even those are more about 'optimizing your leisure time' and less about demonizing spending a couple of hours a day having non-challenging fun.

Sorry but you should stop reading CNN and MSNBC. I did not vote for the M5S.

What I can say:

1. they are not anti-european, they simply hate the current Bankurope
2. They have not ties to Putin (who the fuck is spreading this bullshit ??)
3. They aren't anti-migrant, they want to control the immigration flows. Do you have the faintest idea what it means for a small country like Italy to be forced to import 600.000 migrants in 5 years? Heck, you can build a formidable army with such numbers
4. yes, they are left-wing (hugely statalists) and this is why I have not voted for them
5. yes, the infrastructure is handled by Casaleggio Associates. But AWS is controlled by Amazon. So what is the point?

The real point here, is that the radical chic leftist media are purporting them as the devil, while it is their masters who have worked hard for the past 6 years to literally destroy Italy.

We have hundreds of thousands of young people who leave Italy (high profile people, people with PhDs). We have foreign companies who take State's subsidies and then close up shop and go to Poland, Slovak, Romania, etc ... Our middle class has been literally destroyed. The number of poors have skyrocketed in the last 5 years. The unemployment is at a whopping 40+% among young people. Corruption is out of chart, with politicians actively working with ecomafias to illegally dump toxic wastes everywhere on our territory.

These are the real motives why the people have voted against the status quo. And they have gone to vote in unusually high numbers ( 73%, never seen before! ).
Whoa, that IS neat. Thanks for sharing! A key part of his reformulation is π = α + β + γ (the sum of the internal angles of a triangle equal 2 right angles). That statement is, funny enough, equivalent to the parallel postulate.

Going on a tangent now: lately I've been thinking that the "dead horse" of the Pythagorean theorem is actually trying to tell us that flat (as opposed to fractal!) dimensions come from composable self-similarity (squares).
Aura Framework Tutorial
I think author doesn’t understand opportunity cost. While I doubt few are rationally examining other tasks that will benefit humanity vs. watching an episode of Breaking Bad, this is the trade off decision made for each episode.

I think author is partially correct in that people could do more with their life, but watching video has other benefits- stress relief, education, edification.

The author comes off as an ascetic against pleasure as a waste of time.

I think the gauge would be whether it is impacting your work, social life, or emotional well-being. If not, then it’s up to the individual to judge. Otherwise, OP gets into some rathole of optimizing other people’s lives without knowing them. You may as well complain about commuting, cooking and eating meals vs soylent, commenting on message boards, sleeping more than 4 hours, waiting at stop lights, etc.

From the post:
> a relatively minimal and opinionated system with a cohesive vision and an emphasis on quality and craftsmanship

While I dont't believe that one could argue that FreeBSD isn't focused on quality, nor craftsmanship, it always struck me as lacking a consistency. FreeBSD on the surface seem focused, because the base system is bundled, like with the other BSDs. They don't however seem to have a clear syntax for tools and configuration files. The worst offender, and this is just my personal opinion, is ZFS. ZFS makes no attempts to hide that it's bolted in. In terms of configuration there's no doubt that it was lifted from Solaris.

OpenBSD have less features that FreeBSD, or Linux, but the features that are available are clearly made by one team with the same focus and direction.

That being said, I don't think we should put to much emphasis on Carmacks choice of operation system in this case.
Agreed. Going through that process right now with a tool I am developing. Its 4-5 iterations through various parts of the engine code. Each time, it takes less time and more importantly adds to the quality of the result. It does take longer, however, I am hoping that the efforts spent now to "set the application apart" from the rest, will be what consumers go for (Eg Unique capabilities/performance). In theory. Either that, or I have learnt a big lesson but I take the view that the outcome does not have to be perfect, only better than the rest. Then I will stop iterating. This application is not really the kind I could sit down and design as I am learning and experimenting on the way. Its painful. But with pain, comes growth. In theory.
I don't see what you're getting at here: if the raid was about stopping the publishing of a gurps mod of "top secret" or something ; it'd be a pretty poor job as you bought the book after raid.

Second, I believe it's a matter of record that SJG got caught in "operation sundevil" - a massive crackdown driven by a couple of high profile hacks, mixed in with paranoia driven by such authorative sources as the fictional move "war games"...

Good question. They ( the powers that be ) have been waving this flag for the last five years. In the last months they have added the "fascist" scarecrow to the mix, in the hope of deceiving the italian people. Luckily they have miserably failed.
Yes, ideally the customers would sent back their modifications of your EULA, and then you would negotiate a new contract to the benefits of both of you or not do business with each other.

In practice, this seems difficult and the relations of power in modern EULAs are fairly asymmetric. For example, in many areas there is only one provider of some needed service. like e.g. an ISP. Partial contracts and a certain emphasis on customer protection seem like a reasonable compromise.
React.js and HTTP – Retrieving data from a crypto currency API
Interesting!

I guess I've dealt enough with load balancers that as soon as I saw 'AWS network issues' and 'Many of our clients are hosted in AWS' I immediately jumped to the LB connection pool being full of mostly-dead connections, but this is an important lesson for anyone utilizing LBs. This is a very easy avenue to attack for bad actors, so setting strict timeouts and high connection limits (within reason vs. the capability of your load balancers) is important.
That only works where the government is willing though, see Australia for a case study of the opposite.

And keep in mind that in France currently "fiber" means "at least FFTN", much of rural france won't see FTTH for a long time.

In current use, a physical signature doesn't really verify identity or authentication (i.e. that it was you who signed the document) but rather intent and consent - i.e., assuming that it's your freely given signature, this "ritual" marks that you intended to approve that document as opposed to words and gestures indicating that yes, maybe this is the right decision for some future time but might still want to think about it.

" Tax avoidance is the flip side to Mr Feeney's philanthropic coin. He is addicted to it. “Chuck hates taxes. He believes people can do more with money than governments can,” says a friend. In 1964 a young New York lawyer, Harvey Dale, told Mr Feeney that changes in the tax laws threatened his business, which was running risks that could put the founders in jail. On his advice, Mr Feeney and his co-founder, Robert Miller, transferred ownership to their foreign-born wives, from France and Ecuador, respectively.

In 1974, through a deal with the American government, the firm turned the Pacific island of Saipan into a tax haven. Then, in 1978, Mr Feeney grouped his various investments, including his shares of DFS, in a holding company, General Atlantic Group Limited, in tax-free Bermuda. To escape the American taxman, everything was still registered in his wife's name. "

The much maligned Amazon Fire Phone had four specialized high-speed head tracking cameras on the front of it, and made this effect the centerpiece of it's UI. I worked on it, and it was very cool. The phone failed for lots of reasons, but this particular "gimmick" actually held some promise. The example clay-molding game which came with it actually showed how being able to perceive the image in pseudo-3D did have a real application.
