I should point out that this worked because massive budget reductions to the court system during this time period artificially reduced the number of courts in the county.

A judicial system that depends on plea bargains to achieve a merely basic Constitutional level of service has already had its budget cut to the bone.
These are all really good. Great to see so many giving ideas away.

I've put a few on my blog over recent months in case anyone's interested:

On the flip side, you could argue that if we do actually democratically(-ish) elect representatives, Dunning-Kruger would indicate that our currently-elected leaders are the product of a stupid voting base, and therefore can be assumed to not be the hypothetical "politician with genius healthcare" presented in the article, since the population is too dumb to elect the right guy in the first place.

(I track with you, though; the article seems to be a thinly-veiled jab at "those stupid rednecks who can't see the genius of Obama's healthcare proposals", and is rather offputting for what is allegedly scientific reporting.)

Since we're talking about gimmick phrasing already, let's just remember that half of all voters are of below-average intelligence. :D

Why won't you share his name? The D.A. was a public servant. Not only should his actions taken under the color of his role be public knowledge, but he should be held responsible for them by the public as well. It'd be like saying "I used to work for a President who made Executive Order X", and then being evasive when someone asks who the President was.
"confess the crime"? you mean like go to the police station and confess? They would probably take a statement and not try to bring you to trial. In this particular case, it's people who are already been charged who are considering trying to go to trial.
"Many forms of Government have been tried and will be tried in this world of sin and woe. No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all-wise.

I hate Amazon. Why? They abuse their power and treat their marketplace sellers like crap.

If you have any major problems with your Amazon marketplace seller account, you have no phone support and can't really talk to anyone besides someone that emails you automated cookie-cutter responses and signs it with a name.

I think this is because they are hiring workers from India at a cheaper rate (The little phone support they do have for customers is from India).

Customers can also scam you very easily. As an example, if they have any problems with the item that you sold them and they file an A-Z claim, 9/10 times, Amazon will just give them their money back and not require the customer to actually return the item. You have no option to ban scammers and once they place an order with you (even if you cancel it), they can leave you negative feedback (which can and will get you kicked off).

The only reason they are getting away with this is because they know they are one of only two marketplaces with the most traffic.

If you are thinking about doing business with Amazon, think again.
What a bad article. Here's the original one: http://www.lifeslittlemysteries.com/2187-incompetent-people-...

The original article basically claims that people who are incompetent at something will have a hard time recognising people who are competent and their own level of incompetence. Fine, that makes sense. But how on earth did this get turned into "Americans too dumb for democracy"? This is just taking some of the claims from the original article and blowing them out of proportion.
I have to wonder if Obama's prosecution of cannabis cases is merely a strategy to avoid renegotiating the relationship of the Government (or DEA, DoJ, etc.) to its citizens WRT pot.
Yes, floating point is scary. I always try to stick with integers/fixed points if at all possible. Especially, if there is a loop with addition. That can eat 1 bit of precision per iteration if you're unlucky
So you're saying the system is already fragile? Fantastic!
Well said. Is not the purpose of our skills as programmers to make our lives easier? If so, then as long as Bootstrap is built properly then it is the kind of tool that enables us to quit wasting our time on tedium and build more interesting and more useful software.
IMHO, bootstrap is nice for small short-term projects where the developer is making the design decisions.

However, it's been my experience that the design of most midsize and larger projects is greatly influenced by a designer. And unless they design with bootstrap or any other CSS framework in mind, you easily wind up in a square-peg-round-hole situation.

Honestly, I don't get what all the fuss is about. Bootstrap is just another web theme. Sure it looks nice, and is pretty flexible. But it's still just a theme.
I prefer to think of it in terms of economics. There aren't honest people and dishonest people; there are incentives and people who respond to them.

The question is what your political and economic system incentivizes. In the face of good incentives, most people are good. In the face of bad incentives, no amount of moral clamoring will save your society.
I wasn't trying to make any judgement about the 12 year old in the article, just differentiate this situation from that surrounding the Miranda case.

He could have also titled this "We are Entering the Era of the Web Application Platform".
You really need to watch the video to get most of what he is saying. The title definitely doesn't capture a lot of it and is actually kind of misleading.

Anyway, to make it simple for TC39, how about ES6 = CoffeeScript with require/exports like Node.js. Done. Mailing list closed until 2014.

One thing threatening this whole investment in the web platform is that if it doesn't install exactly like a regular app and run exactly like a regular app and look exactly like a regular app, then its not an app. So you can add all the features you want to HTML5, but if you screw up those things I just mentioned, its a waste. And I really want HTML5 to succeed bigtime on tablets and smartphones. If it doesn't, then this guy may turn out to be wrong about the new era.
"Theoretically, you could measure the rotation of the earth and call that a day"

This is not theoretical; this is known as sidereal time and is measured to the nanosecond...

Why does he want to smear poor, innocent garbage? At least garbage composts into something useful.
We have also created a report that summarizes and aggregates manged DNS performance and availability globally and regionally, features and pricing. It is still under development, and we intend to sell it in the future, but I'm happy to share it, and would appreciate feedback (caution it is a 10mb file): http://dl.dropbox.com/u/20765204/CH-DNS_Report-12_2011.pdf - it is a good resource if you are evaluating different providers.
You have just stated the Innovator's Dilema, and nothing Intel is doing appears to be any different than anybody else who has been displaced has done. Waiting for the profits to get "large enough" simply gives the entrant time to solidify their base.

Indeed. This is a big problem with the self-styled intelligentsia; they point to others who are not as smart as they are, and cite them as evidence that they cannot possibly be ignorant, because they aren't as ignorant as those they look down on.

Wisdom begins with recognizing that you don't know everything, can't know everything, and generally assuming that you're wrong or uninformed until you can prove otherwise. The immediate presumption that you're right, and arrogance or indignation when it's suggested otherwise is a huge indicator that you're probably suffering the Dunning-Kruger effect.

How Twenity can help you use Twitter more efficiently
But you are relying on a third party / network. Your rubidium clock is only good for accurately measuring the length of a second. It has no idea when a UTC second begins. You are relying on GPS time in order to know when the UTC begins.

You need time and frequency for "proper time."
Creating a text stream which you then pipe to a shell is a good way of debugging complex operations, especially potentially destructive ones that may need inspection to verify. It's a technique I use a lot, to the point that some of my more destructive scripts don't do anything - they just output shell commands, and it's up to me to pipe them to the shell.
Could this be made to also eliminate articles regarding certain topics or from certain sources? I really hate the proliferation of gadgety religious flamewars, and the enabling of bloggers whose modus operandi is just to stoke the fires of these ridiculous squabbles.
Cool site! QR code on the "About" page is a head-scratcher, though.. http://time.is/about

I would have expected an article on how to use these tools "like a boss" to point out that if there is whitespace in the filenames you will run into problems unless you use "find ... -print0 | xargs -0 ...".
> the majority of people understand the importance of rule of law

But it is precisely because of the importance of the rule of law that the enforcement of unjust laws, or the enforcement of a law that may be broadly just but fails to be so in a particular circumstance, must be resisted.

I don't know that the majority of people have really stopped to reflect on that.
10 Useful Apps for St. Patrick’s Day
Sal? Or Khan Rep? I'm just about to dive into the app but I want to know up front whether you guys have taken the online practice system and remade it for the iPad . Apple showed off stupid iBooks interactivity, like sliding to help yourself learn the stages of mitosis..., they don't get it. But if someone is leading the way, it's khan academy.

Based on a lot of data, I'd say he's right. It's harder to work on an ambitious idea, but not proportionately harder.
Thanks, checked the profile right after replying, how stupid!
Recently I started using Khan Academy a lot more.

At first I too felt like a lot of the videos needed more polish, as well as some other aspects of the site. But eventually I accepted that it really didn't matter whether I was watching one of the newer HD videos or the older pixelated ones. It wouldn't help me learn.

I think the informal style is a plus. Making the videos more professional would risk them being the same thing as a textbook. In my math class, we occasionally do "flip teaching" using brightstorm [1]. Its basically a more formal version of Khan Academy, and I think the videos are super boring to watch compared to something like Sal's video on the squeeze theorem [2].

This is really helpful & efficient for the companies. We spend hours interviewing candidates and checking their portfolio & prior work in order to get to few great candidates. The current process for us is spread out. HireArt brings it in one place and focuses on what really matters.

In our experience, the candidates who are really passionate about what they do and like the company consistently shine out. HireArt process should help filtering them easier.
CTRL+SHIFT+J (or CMD+ALT+J on Mac) brings up the Javascript Console, where you can paste the code directly.

Also, "text/css" in the script should be replaced with "style/css" in order for it to work.
For the record I got really excited Sal might use hacker news, not sure why, but he's actually a true boss.
I still prefer cat, as one simple mistake of < to > and the file is gone.
This is probably one of the most powerful ideas I have read in a long time. It could be applied to your website data, as well as email data, lifestyle data, financial, etc...
I understand the point you're trying to make, but I don't think there is a single country in the world (free or otherwise) that makes it illegal to abstain from vaccination. If there is such a country, please correct me—I simply couldn't find one after a few minutes of research.

The benefits of vaccination for the receiver of the vaccine are usually enough to entice voluntary vaccination. In fact, I'm sure there are plenty of civic-minded people who get themselves (or their children) vaccinated for the benefit of everyone else, too.

The government would only feel compelled to forcibly vaccinate its citizens if people refused en masse to get vaccinated. And that would likely only happen if the cost/risk benefit ratio for getting vaccinated was (perceived to be) unsatisfactory.

In that case, do you really want to criminalize honest, well-intentioned people who are abstaining? I'd say no—that'll create a bitter backlash, because these people don't feel like they deserve to be criminals. Instead, you'd want to educate those people and explain to them why it is worth it to get vaccinated (alternatively, if the vaccine really is too risky, you'd want to improve the vaccine). When honest, well-intentioned citizens oppose something en masse, simply making them all criminals for the common good is likely to make them oppose you, distrust you, and listen even less to what you have to say.
My advice is to contact "memegenerator, knowyourmeme, and others" and ask them what licensing agreements they have with the copyright holders that allow them publish the content. You may be surprised to learn how much or how little money changes hand.
When social media is new, people use it in curious ways that aren't best suited. The teacher/student friending was probably an attempt to relate to the student, or get in contact with them for homework/etc. As my mom is a teacher, I've seen some pretty interesting build-your-own-class-website websites, and Facebook could have just been another attempt at that sort of website, for the teachers.
Similar to bootstrap for twitter, it would be nice if someone comes up with a "bootstrap landing page" which contains all the elements which muddylemon suggests and which is further customisable. or does it already exist?
Except that "…due to nutation, an actual sidereal day is not quite so constant."

Yeah. Nutation.

>chaos would be everyone wasting their time

I think this article's gist is that the American judiciary is leveraged and thus vulnerable to disruption. The solution advocated, loosening laws to decrease case volume, is probably better than the alternative of directing more funding to the courts and prison system.

This systemic leverage pushes the judiciary to do unsavoury things, such as courts increasing penalties for those who choose trial by jury and over-zealous AGs putting elections above fairness.

It may be hyperbole to call shining light on potential civil liberty abuses petty.

>people tend to support the system

As of 2011 the US judiciary stood at 63% approval [1] - this is a good, especially when compared to Congressional approval, but the lowest since 1973. People also tend to pay less attention to the judicial than executive and legislative branches.

I think he is somewhat right. I do not think you can go directly after large markets. Most successful companies have gone for small markets that then disrupted large markets. I'm (100M exits are not that great for the record!).

Actually PlanGrid has been remarkably successful at signing up construction firms. I don't think I've ever seen a startup sign up "enterprise" customers so fast during YC. It's almost as if the construction companies were already waiting for them.
You can achieve this also by using find and its -ok option, instead of -exec, that way find will ask for confirmation before doing anything.
You can also download it from the link.
I'm sure we can all list a dozen great CEOs off the tops of our heads who are neither -- unless we do as the author has done and redefine each to be so broad they are meaningless. Really dumb article.
The obvious answer is that the content being discussed isn't really a meme. They are copyrighted images. The idea of a "Troll Face" can be a meme, surely, but the specific image of a trollface that is widely recognized was obviously copyrighted. If you don't like that then create your own image and release it with a more permissive license like Public Domain.
How would that be suicide? I'm not thinking of just getting a few hundred people and telling them to go to some Oz-like prison. And I'm not talking about some organized movement like OWS where people protested over issues related to actions perpetrated by other people.

I'm thinking of a situation where a large number of people would be cooperatively going to submit themselves to the penal system related to things they did and believe that is not right to be punished for. Most likely, they would get results even before the actual collective "turning in". Can you imagine what would happen in the US if the good majority of the 7 million undocumented immigrants [1] organized a movement that announced they would turn themselves in?

You say suicide, I say "immigration reform".

How does a licence impacts the distribution of plugins?

E.g. if I write a plugin for a system (e.g. Wordpress) and I sell this plugin?

Does the plugin code needs to be distributed under the same licence as the original system even though it wouldn't distribute any of the code provided by the original system? It would only call functions or inherit from classes described in the original system.
Actually, once one proves herself with some success it becomes easier to dare to focus on harder ideas. I see the signs of that at PG or Google's Larry Page and Sergey Brin. Once having tasted success, they feel anything is doable and possible. For the majority of start-up entrepreneurs, just succeeding the first time is the hard problem and requires ambition.
For that size of marketing, I know a company that's using

This was one I used to backup all websites in a folder:

find . -mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1 -type d | awk 'BEGIN {FS="./"}; {print $2}' | xargs -d '\n' tar czf backup1.tar

Note that you'll have to change $2 to the correct column number for the name field depending on your output.
Then everyone would win.
What I'd have expected in an article on how to use this tool is talk about `-exec` and `-exec +` before shooting straight for xargs.
Was wondering what was happening. At least they are responding fairly quickly to the queries.
I would disagree. There are questions which if you fail to answer this means your understanding of the field is near zero. For SQL, I would say question about "which kind of joins there are and why" is like this - if you don't understand this, you don't understand relational databases. Which may be OK if the job does not require that, but at least you'll know that about the candidate.

Another thing is that some candidates (or their recruiters?) "inflate" their resumes claiming expert knowledge for things that they heard about in passing or maybe did some trivial task with it. Asking such trivia knowledge allows to find it out very quickly - if one claims to be SQL expert with 5 years of experience and don't know what inner join is - he's probably lying. And this is a bad sign - to start relationship with a lie. I know some people like to do that (especially because of the keyword-match approach) but it's a huge turnoff to start an interview with a supposed expert in the field you need and find out the most work he did in the field was a toy project 10 years ago in college of which he remembers nothing and isn't even interested in doing that.
