The federal budget process and the economic reality on the ground are out of phase. To achieve stability in the system, these processes need to be brought more into phase.

Put another way: the budget contains a de facto representation of the current economic position as well as economic "velocity" and higher derivatives. In forming the budget, legislators encode these values. In many cases, these values over- or under-shoot reality with poor consequences.

tl;dr: Balancing the budget is a stabilization criterion and bringing the active driver into synchrony with the driven body (the economy) should improve stability.

While it's good to find people interested, You aren't going to get a very good sample of normal people. Your business offering may be very applicable to a grand total of 20 people. Those 20 people may be the ones you are going to interview. They all say they love it, and you launch a business that only 20 people are interested in.

On the other hand, I'm sure you've done your homework and have figured out how big the target market is and now it's just a case of getting a sample within a market you already know to be big.
The problem with this is that you're asking for the pat-down. If that's required to fly if I opt-out of the strip search, let them say so.

No, you would never waste write cache on random reads, instead you'd buy more RAM for your server. Why would anyone ever buy a whole new chassis, CPU, drives, etc when all you need is more RAM? As for how to effectively deploy spindles the answer is generally external drive enclosures. Generally you can put a rack of disks and save a 2-4U for the server.
Btw, this was 200MB/sec of random writes. I didn't even bother with random writes. I could have gotten the writes to be basically sequential if I had bothered to write a COMB style UUID generator. I happen to be a fan of UUIDs for the surrogate keys as it makes database merging so much easier.
Amazon EMR is an amazing value proposition for virtually any research need, and it's very cool to see wrapper frameworks targeting it directly. Still, for anyone managing their own compute clusters and wanting to do MR in python, I'd suggest checking out Disco.

Disco (http://discoproject.org) is a really elegant MR framework implemented in erlang and python, with additional support for jobs in C and Java. I've used it for a little over a year and am convinced it is the superior MR platform (Hadoop's terasort victories notwithstanding). New features are being integrated very quickly, the core platform is rock solid, management is simple and it's extremely flexible.
I often wonder in conversations like this how many people have actual backgrounds in agriculture? Yes, in some states milk is price regulated and subsidized. Sometimes to keep prices low and sometimes to keep prices high (it kinda depends on the place - yes, screwy and in the same place people argue about the reasons). Messing with subsidies will raise input costs to a lot of businesses, much like rising truck transport costs.

Generally someone will pull out this local plots / in city farms and forget a lot of basic economic truths about mass production and transportation.
It costs $5k for SQL Server with replication, you can use SQL Express for the monitor so all you're looking at is the 5K license you'd need for SQL Server Standard, if you need Enterprise it's only 20K. This are all retail prices which no one actually pays.
The 'someone else' is air travellers. When a major terrorist plot succeeds using a car, cell phone, or computer, a different group will suffer.

The question at hand is, "What is acceptable in the name of defending ourselves against terrorism?" And "How effective do these measures have to be to be worth the tradeoff?" and "Who is accountable for measuring and deciding that?"

It makes sense to make a principled case even if the problem currently limited to air travellers. If "oversight is unnecessary, just do whatever you think will keep people safe" gets enshrined in popular opinion, it's going to be ugly when they get to the internet.
I think if the FAQ were to be replaced with your copy, I would want to sign up even more. Haha.
Smart marketing move.

Who's pulling the software out? Apple.
You mischaracterized the situation; the baseline for a colorblind audience is legibility, not quality. In other words, you make it so they can see the difference, but not the beauty, which would actually be impossible. Also, there are many different forms of colorblindness which in toto add up to 10%, however, there is not, iirc, one case which the entire colorblind audience would see as one.

Actually, once this was put out in the open, and discussed, I was allowed to sign off on the artwork, and the project was completed successfully.
Also, it's OO, including through pipes.
My first thought was to take Drop.io and create a Google wave out of it. Now that Rasmussen has defected to Facebook, this may be true(http://techcrunch.com/2010/10/29/rasmussen-facebook-google/)
Or at least, being a trained killer seems to imply that you're a real man.

That sounds like a great deal. Assuming you make the same amount of money and it wasn't an aberration...

2months X 4 weeks X 4K per week = 32K.
Minus operating expenses for 2 months (Let's just use 500 per month here) = 31K
Minus taxes (assuming 25%) = 23.25K

$11625 to have a clean corp that grosses 208K a year. Sounds like a no brainer for me...
Pay him off, make him sign a final and complete settlement that previous poster suggested.
Also, I think you'd get more people to volunteer more readily if you did an online survey. Phone interviews, who does that anymore?
As beautiful as Singapore may appear on the outside, it's a pretty draconian place to actually live in (at least it would be for me). Also, this notion that people need to suffer in order to find the motivation innovate is a ridiculous claim.
Realistically? Once they see that the strip search machine isn't working on you, they'll go for a pat-down. What you really need is an aluminum codpiece. Preferably one with the phrase "What now, bitches?" engraved on it.

You'd probably be arrested out of sheer spite, but just think of all the blog pageviews you would get later! Add enough advertising and try to create secondary drama with some followup letters to the TSA, and you could make a fair amount of money with just audacity and a metal codpiece.
It's funny you mention Medicare, since it's actually more efficient than most private insurers when measured by fraction of revenue spent directly on patient care. The reason Medicare is a money pit is that it pays for expensive care for a huge population of elderly people,
The GPL gives Apple permission to distribute this software through the App Store. All they would have to do is follow the license's conditions to help keep the software free.

vs.

"Apple gives developers the ability to distribute this software through the AppStore. All they would have to do is follow the EULA's conditions to help keep the software free"

Reminds me of the US political system. Opposing philosophical views but the they're both using the same tactics. Follow our rules because we know what's best for you.
what is the best way to handle not storing state on DOM, when you need to maintain javascriptless functionality, and your data is loaded from the server pre-render? currently using data attributes to solve this. which means our state is in DOM anyway.
Well - I did conduct a survey already and the results showed an interest and strong viability for the offering. From that we took it to the level we have defined a basic feature set on how we see we can solve the problem but now as phamilton understood - I need a set of people 5-10 who can validate some of the assumptions which we have made.

Ofcourse I can prorate the assumptions from the survey itself and start to go ahead and develop the functionality but before I do that I see value in talking to people who I reckon might be the ones using the service end of the day.
So who lied, then, when they agreed to Apple's explicitly stated terms and gave Apple permission to distribute VLC in this form in the App Store? If VLC gets removed, it's because this developer is essentially demanding that Apple remove it.
The developer submitted it knowing that Apple's distribution approach was incompatible with the license.

The developer failed. Apple said up front what they'll do for the developer. That doesn't include "whatever you ask us to do".

Apple's completely in the clear. The developer's a moron.
I resent seeing stuff like this on Hacker News. Sorry for the angry rant, but I am extraordinarily opposed to this Proposition, with the strongest fiber of my very being, and to see this be the top story on hacker news, which I come to for entrepreneurship stuff, just makes me pissed. :(

I don't want politics on Hacker News. Get. It. Off. Please. Thanks!
