Google censors Streetview around Jewish centres?
Noticed a few Street View blackouts in Melbourne, Australia. They all appear around Jewish centres in a certain area. Conspiracy madness or censorship - what do you think? If true, is it just a stupid way to broadcast your most sensitive and vulnerable locations?

Unrest in China: A dangerous year
I understand why it happens. I'm saying that what you're pointing out is not in the nature of JavaScript, it's in the REPL. It's just wrong; there is no other situation where that code would evaluate that way. node is behaving "properly", showing you what value you can expect if you, say, assign that expression to a variable.

I guess it's an amusing bit of sleight-of-hand, but using it to mock JavaScript seems, I don't know, tasteless. Doesn't it have enough problems without inventing more?
Extradition is not a violation of sovereignty; it's an affirmation of sovereignty. The US has to politely ask for the accused to be turned over and the NZ courts will decide whether the request is legally valid under New Zealand law.
Sure, but we're talking in the context of engineers and defence technology.

Boeing is a large military contractor, so there's not much question that the work that you do for Boeing as an engineer working on planes is going to be used by the military.

I would choose Rails as well. You will spend more time than you remotely expect working with node (for all the reasons you mention...they really do add up), and an unfinished app, no matter how fast, is useless to your users.
I work on several projects that I have never used. However, my employer doesn't completely shield me from people who do use it. At least for me, the satisfaction comes from interacting with people who the project helps and seeing how it helps them.

I think part of why (some)? engineers may not give a shit about the project they're working on isn't necessarily because they have no interest in it, but because they haven't met anyone with an interest in it. In github's case, it just happens to be themselves.

I like to know what I'm doing actually matters. Meeting people my stuff impacts helps with that.
Honestly, I'd just love to see the 7 actually be a functional subway line. It's the only one near my girlfriend's house in Queens, and it's often completely non-functional; IIRC, it's completely shut down Queens-bound for the next 11 weekends or something like that. Constant problems.
The alleged behavior of these companies is appalling to me. Halting an employee's application to another company is an abuse of power and amounts to theft. In my opinion the perpetrators here should do time in prison, just the same as executives who collude to fix commodity prices.

Sorry, but you don't know what you're talking about.

Pull out your 2011 form 1040: http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f1040.pdf

* 56: Self-employment tax. Attach Schedule SE.

* 61: Add lines 55 through 60. This is your total tax.

* 62-72: Credits and payments, including the Earned Income Credit.

* 76: AMOUNT YOU OWE: Subtract line 72 (total credits) from line 61 (total tax).

That's where his $6.3k SE bill gets nearly wiped out by $5.5k in earned income credit.

Credits, unlike deductions, are subtracted dollar for dollar from total tax owed. If he files jointly with a spouse, it can actually reduce their tax bill to $0 on that income. There's no category of taxes that can't be reduced by EIC, including SE (payroll) tax.
Actually I realized I can already do this even without plugin functionality. The Item object passed to the sorter has access to the element http://screencast.com/t/Z5uVYNtH8
Can you explain what you didn't like about it? As a user, I found it to be dead simple to use, and as a developer, I had no problems working with it either.

Removing the menu button sounds like adding friction to me. Opening the options menu for every app is the same button press. You can do it with your eyes closed.

Also, doesn't the action bar just take up precious screen real estate? For something that users will only occasionally interact with, that doesn't seem like a good use of a limited resource.
yeah, I see what you're trying to do here, except you're calling Jeremy a blub programmer when he's anything but.

it also comes off as a bit dickish to try and refute a point with (what amounts to) "I have more knowledge than you, and there's no point explaining because you wouldn't understand anyway"
Simply brilliant. I will use it for myself.
Respectfully, I disagree with your assessment of their business. Anybody who has ever worked for an enterprise startup knows that requests for custom installations and implementations of your product are a dime a dozen. No startup will ever win a RFP from a big company and it's just a time waster. I would say not only is drchrono taking the right path, it's the only possible path to getting into the larger hospitals. Once they've refined their product and built up a name for themselves, they only need to win that one bigger contract and they are off to the races. But what you are suggesting is simply impossible for a startup. And you should have known better than to contact drchrono for your large hospital, that's just irresponsible. If you didn't believe in their product then you were knowingly wasting their time.
Respectfully, I would encourage you to find someone personally to give your item away to. Craigslist is not a charity, it's a marketplace for people to buy/sell goods. Giving away an item on Craigslist is like throwing bread to ducks at a duck pond. If you indiscriminately throw bread up in the air at a duck pond, would you blame a squirrel for coming by and snatching a bagel every once in a while?
> I'm guessing that the only reason CoffeeScript embraces Javascript is for debugging.

The other reason is to avoid code bloat. Adding your own runtime library adds a lot of (generated) JS that has to be pushed down to the client.

This is something we're constantly fending with in Dart. Dart does have a runtime library (including a different DOM API!) and managing that without generating enormous amounts of JS is tricky. We're getting pretty good at dead code stripping, but doing that isn't easy. Without type annotations, it would be even harder.
There were several people in the summer batch in a similar situation and it was not an issue.

As long as people can be sure to arrange to be here when the batch is in session it does not matter.
Two of the replies to you illustrate the classic joke about the traveler who gets lost and asks the village peasant for directions to his destinations - 'Well, if I wanted to get there, I shouldn't start from here.' (And are as useful.)
"In addition, Defendants often implemented their express agreements so that they operated as de facto "no-hire" or "no-poach" agreements, whereby Defendants did not recruit an employee of another company, even if that employee affirmatively applied for a position."

Seems pretty clear they were turning down applicants who applied.
It's a joke. Relax.
Compared to NYC or Paris, the DC Metro is limited, but it's still the second-most-used system in the country, and far ahead of most American cities (SF in particular). Train headways are as low as 2 minutes during rush hour, and the system runs until 3 AM on Friday and Saturday night (unlike the BART which stops at midnight). It also goes close enough to almost everywhere you need to get to.

I agree that maintenance-related delays on evenings and weekends can be significant, and packed Orange Line cars are a real problem. Hopefully the former will go away as the current round of maintenance is completed; we'll probably need to build a second Potomac River tunnel and the M St subway to resolve the latter.

Actually, I believe many vacation home rentals were (and are?) done via VRBO.

Renting out an individual apartment -- even 'professionally' -- is not necessarily unusual, but increasingly difficult due to the spotlight AirBNB has brought to the process.
I've checked out Memrise for the first time. I like how it teaches you and then question you to see if you've memorised it. Adding game elements also helps to make language learning more engaging. The difference with our app is that it was built as a game and you learn the language as a by product and we're primarily focused on mobile.
I reckon that if such a ridiculous law were to come to pass, you could create a script that uses your browser to visit random sites and deep follow links found on those sites at constant pace all the time. This would generate so much noise in such a list that it would be prohibitively expensive to determine what sites you actually visited.

On top of generating noise to obfuscate signal, this approach generates reasonable doubt.

My colleague, a designer, left great feedback on noodles UX
Here is the deal. I work in a GIANT office. And we LOVE your food. We are all on a digital team, and are media planners, and web designers. Super web savvy. We all tried to order online tonight, and there was such an epic amount of fail, we almost decided to die of starvation rather than attempt to navigate your site. AGAIN: We love your food. Your site, not so much. The UI of the menu is super complicated. You can sort by type of food? (soup vs. noodles.) THEN.. The absurd amount of validation to create an account almost made me throw my monitor out the window. I don’t understand why you need Pentagon level security to create an account. I couldn’t remember my super secure password so I had to create a new account. I don’t know. Everything was just so hard and caused me fatigue, both physically and mentally. The amount of exasperation and eye rolling from my team was palpable. SO we ordered. It’s all-good. We will continue to eat with you. But please god rethink your website and experience flow. OH AND ANOTHER THING? How come you can’t order online to be delivered? Ok. Rant over. Noodle on.

What's the "correct" ("less funny"?) result of

Array(16).join("wat" - 1) + " Batman!"

?

Empty strings separated with NaNs look perfectly logical to me (I'm a JS guy though, so, well, bear with me).
Exactly, I'm not worried about raising up more competition. A very successful business owner friend of mine said the same thing to me when I first ran it by him.
The typical bus lane is still a lot cheaper than the typical railroad installation for light rail.
It depends a lot on the design of the roundabout. Our traditional medium-sized model here in the UK, with two or three lanes coming in as one block from feeder roads, certainly isn't great for cyclists. However, we seem to be moving towards a more continental style, where for a medium-sized four-road roundabout you'd have one lane peeling off to the "first exit" and a physically separated lane onto the roundabout for those going further round.

This is generally an improvement for everyone, because you only ever have to worry about merging with traffic from one other lane at once. It's also an improvement for cyclists in particular, because you can construct those single lanes so that either they are wide enough to pass a cyclist with a good clearance or they are narrow enough that overtaking is clearly not an option. When there are several adjacent lanes, an aggressive driver will often force a cyclist into the next lane over (even if there's another vehicle there). When doing so requires driving through solid concrete lane dividers, funnily enough it doesn't happen so often...
I don't follow. Could you point to where it mentioned NLP in the article?
A TypeError.
So where should we put the lack of newline to <br> conversion inside place reviews - design or engineering?
I'm not sure how I feel about these new "UI-less" UIs... This app is cool, but it seems like I might forget how to perform the necessary idiosyncratic gestures if I don't use it for a few days.
Especially easily said by someone who has never hired a team, or sold a product to a bigco.
I think we're well past the point where this kind of thing only raises an eyebrow.

"However, Vlingo admits that their app does collect certain data types before users agree to their privacy policy. This means before you agree to allow data to be sent to the company the app does, in fact, collect location, carrier and phone identification information, which is then transferred unencrypted to Vlingo's servers. According to their representatives, this is due to synchronization issues with processes that normally run in the background."

See, it's the syncronization issues' fault. Who wrote those sync processes? Well, they don't say.
I go to the University of Redlands.

In the past two years, they decided to remove my major (Computer Science) completely from the curriculum for new students (so current sophomores are unable to join the department except to minor), they cut tens of professors from the faculty, and they cut down on several other costs.

In the same time period, they spend tens of thousands of dollars redesigning the main website, several more thousand redesigning the internal student-facing website (based on Blackboard and Moodle in a bizarre zombie formation), and upgraded several nonfree services they provided (Outlook Web Access, Blackboard, Datatel). They also bought and paid for the construction of a park just south of campus, which cannot be feasibly used by students but serves to essentially advertise the university. They also purchased additional radio ads, several front-page ads in the LA Times, and well-placed billboard advertisements.

Higher education in America has made its priorities clear, I think.
That's probably one of the more logical examples. I'd have expected an exception from any other language, though (Javascript I know doesn't tend to type error).
The weekend is the MTA's Achilles heel. You are much better off at 3AM on a Tuesday than Noon Saturday. At least in the outer boros, they try and keep the lines in Manhatten south of 110 at least vaguely useable.

I don't know what the solution is though, they have to do maintenance and upgrades sometime or other.
I wonder about this too. I just noticed that our idea fits RFS #2 pretty well. I wonder if #2 is played out? It's certainly not as general as RFS #9, and I assume many have given this one a shot. On the other hand, most of these RFSs could probably stand relevant for years to come with multiple and varying startups able to satisfy the request.
At the end of the day, Poland is highly dependent on support from the US, as they are positioned between Russia and Germany.

Do you think it's a good moral decision to continue taking your customers' money for something you will never improve much at all, because your heart's just not in it? I certainly don't think so.
Which makes a ton of sense, really. Manhattan is a crowded, congested, expensive place with high taxes and high costs of living. Regional transit accessibility is one of the few reasons people would locate a business there. Manhattan is clearly the primary beneficiary of the tunnel, and why New Jersey ever offered to pay for it in the first place (to the tune of ~$9 billion, before the inevitable overruns) is beyond me.
How is this an issue in this day and age?
Sorry, getting to this late. The best climbers may barely make money, but I think it's fair to guess that they're excited and enthusiastic about climbing. That's my point. Most people want to hire the best that they're able to.. and there's a high correlation between being really great at something, and loving it.

"Me too" reply concurring with your business analysis.

Your (hypothetical) plan involves:

1. Destroying all profit

2. Increasing real costs -- not just salary & payroll costs, which is of course usually 2x the actual paper salary, but also oversight and managerial overhead

3. Adding more team members strictly as an experiment

So, there goes the profit, plus you've had to go thru the immense hassle of hiring, and your team's just grown (with greatly added complexity), you don't have or plan to deploy the resources to effectively onboard & manage the new team members, and you hope that it'll somehow turn out well in the end?

Just wanted to fully think that out for you.

Iron Money’s API[1] is RESTful and protected with OAuth 1.0a; since it uses the plaintext signature method, no nonce is used for each request.

This in no way will be helped by the fact that the lawsuit is being facilitated by "pirate parties" all over the world. We know what the pirate parties stand for; a jury would not.

Yeah, I mean, it's not like they had compilers back then. Savages.
I think the only reason to get a .org or .net is for SEO purposes. This is what patio11 did with appointmentreminder.org

Since "hido" is obviously not going to bring you any SEO juice it's probably better to go for a longer .com

I don't really like HidoUni, or even having "Uni" anywhere in the name personally. To me it seems either deceptive or lame.

I'd probably go with HidoHQ.com or HidoAcadamy.com or something.

Good luck!
Has anyone noticed the problem with that picture (with the bus/cars/bikes?)

clean designs don't spring fully-formed from their heads. Everyone iterates.

Kind of a strawman, though?
Firstly, I agree: working within a few minutes of your home is the greatest luxury money can buy.

That said, my two favorite activities while on a train:
1. Read.
2. Sleep. I really miss sleeping on the train in the mornings (my current commute is too short for a quick nap). I always felt so refreshed afterwards.

Neither of these is really feasible when commuting by car; having them available to you makes a world of difference between cars and trains or busses.

When my commute was Too Long (~50 minutes), I would even occasionally program on the train. That's harder to do, though, because you need a seat, and if you commute during vaguely normal hours (7-11am, 6-10pm) a seat on the subway is a rare commodity.

More context. Paid cash for the van and the utility trailer. Paid off a good chunk of debt on top of those big purchases and didn't use credit at all this past year.

Hawaii: We used to live here, and have spent the past few years saving for this trip. We came to see friends that we haven't seen in 4 years. They are meeting two of our children for the first time. Airfare: $400/ticket round trip purchased months ago at the lowest price of the year. Van: Our friends are letting us use their van for free for all 16 days. We are staying at three friends houses while we are here, also free. Our expenses while here are food and gas. Everything else we are doing here is free, surfing, swimming, snorkeling, hiking, going to the lava etc. The entire trip is costing us less than $2,500 for our family of 6 to fly to Hawaii and spend 16 days with our friends. I've saved money money on just about everything. I'm not sure it's possible for this trip to have cost any less than it has. We valued this trip over paying off a chunk of our debt for many reasons. Having money and being debt free is important to us, but recognizing that being debt free is a few more years out, we saved and paid cash for the trip. The rest, sunshine, body boarding and time with friends is worth a lot more to us than the money.
Feedback histories show that eBay dealers are active users with the greatest number of transactions, and that those with the longest histories are successful because they continue to conduct themselves well. But it doesn't say much of anything about whether individual buyers or sellers anywhere (but especially Craigslist) would prefer to transact with dealers rather than other pedestrian users when given those choices.

But most of all: Amazon and eBay are themselves middlemen. They take a cut. Every time you buy or sell, a cut goes to support the platform you used to find and buy or sell. Active dealers with more transactions give more support to those sites. If you like using them you're probably okay with those dealers.

Craigslist doesn't take a cut (outside of certain job postings in certain big cities). It's a community platform for individuals. Dealers profit only themselves, contribute nothing to support the site, and offer little if any dubious "value" with their interference. This is not exotic knowledge for users of Craigslist.
