Every one of these analogies are flawed in some way because they are just that, analogies, and the authors of them acknowledge that. You are meant to look at only the aspects of the situation that are analogous, and ignore the parts where the analogy breaks down, because no one is trying to claim that is actually how the universe works.

To answer your question, your TRP cannot have ever existed, even in theory. There is no 'outside the universe' for the TRP to have gone, even at the time of the big bang.

You seem to think that the big bang happened at a specific point, which is not true. The 'big bang' happened at every point, and never really 'bang'ed at all. Things are not moving away from each other so much as the distance between things is getting larger, which has a similar effect.

I think there are two factors causing friction for the US. The first one is complete dysfunction with housing. Expensive houses are a really bad thing. Having huge amounts of money in housing is a bad thing. This does not lead to prosperity, other than some random people winning a lottery ocassionally. It also makes it considerably harder for people to move which then makes it harder for labour to adjust to supply and demand of jobs. We'd all be far better off if houses were a dollar each. (Also fix the school system - tying it to your house is bizarre.)

On the business side there is a heck of a lot of uncertainty. How often will you be sued (intellectual "property", environmental, who knows what else)? How will your competitors screw you over other than good old fashioned competition? (Think regulatory capture and lobbying.) And what about employee overhead, especially medical costs, social security/retirement, hiring and firing etc?

I'd never heard of Stanhope before - been watching his youtube videos which are very entertaining - thanks!
Thanks for the feedback. I agree there should probably be a section on this in the documentation since it is a common question.

But you're on the right track: The puppet/chef provisioning you use in the VM should be used for production as well. Usually the scripts aren't IDENTICAL in dev/production but there are only slightly different.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe YouTube counts unique views, so 20 tabs would still be one view.
Exactly, its not a bug, its a feature. Just like mass assignment.

I recommend the cross-platform Sublime Text editor. It's very similar to Textmate, providing basic features and syntax highlighting, while staying out of your way. With its plugins you can easily add additional features.

I feel like that would follow the intent behind a BSD license, but not that of a CC-BY.

Actually, what's the advantage of using a commercial, attribution license over a BSD?
This is incredibly true. If I was some type of marketing consultant or whatever, and lets say I was trying to market a band that was paying me (as if bands have money these days), if I could get them 60,000 views in a few days this would seem absolutely huge to the average smaller band. Their assumptions would be that they are getting huge in comparison to their local competition.

It doesn't matter that the views are worthless. Even if they know you 'did something' to make that happen, they'd be happy because other people looking at it would think they are more legitimate for it. Its all about perception. I remember people running various bots and scripts to blow up their MySpace music play counts. "Wow this band has 300k plays? They must be good!". Same could be said for Twitter follower count, etc...

It can all be gamed. The question is how many people realize its been gamed?

Pretty glad I work in an industry that's hard up for talent enough that I can walk out of an interview if I'm ever asked this, you guys.

Consider the following html:

<label for="first_checkbox">A label</label>
<input type="checkbox" id="first_checkbox" />

<label for="another_checkbox">Another label</label>
<input type="checkbox" id="another_checkbox" />

And css:

label:matches(:hover, :focus) /for/ input {
margin: 30px;
}

If the user then hovers the first label (for="first_checkbox") the input (id="first_checkbox") will get an annoying margin.

The syntax uses the id named in the for-attribute to connect with the element with the same id.

Expanding on "There is no 'outside the universe'".

Is the universe infinite in dimension?

Is there such a path that a particle could take at infinite speed for an infinite time such that the distance between itself and a particle that had stayed in the same position is always increasing?

Is there infinite matter in the universe?

If no, is there a point at which this traveling particle will have left the "vicinity" of all matter, to never meet another particle again?

Read the rules. They're taken very seriously.

Your opinion that a Wachtell attorney isn't worth >$1,000/hour is immaterial. As a matter of law, what they're charging is not unreasonable, because you're paying for more than the amount of time an attorney spends typing on a word processor. You're paying for the firm's experience and reputation. Moreover, many lawyers would have actual knowledge of the firm's fraud, were it to occur. By not reporting this information, they risk being disbarred and losing their livelihood. I don't generally like to endorse the efficient-market hypothesis, but it appears highly unlikely that there's a giant conspiracy that results in systemic under-reporting and non-enforcement of the rules...
I believe the word you are looking for is "incompetence".

Our law enforcement organizations spend years and millions of dollars to infiltrate, track down, and bring to justice criminals. Who do they target? Organized crime? Hostile foreign nations? Fraudsters? Nope, they go after lulzsec and IP "pirates". I don't have a ton of sympathy for either lulzsec or kim dotcom but I can't help but feel that the FBI et al are screwing the pooch here and arresting the moral equivalent of pot dealers while the true terrorists and mobsters go free.

This shows a general lack of knowledge about how JS and websites work. I can't just run JS on my site that will steal your bank info. Browsers have cross domain security policies to prevent this.

Same reason so many of us here can bill out at several hundred dollars an hour even though there is an unlimited supply of people calling themselves computer programmers who will happily try to do the same job for $7/hr.

I don't think there's any need to worry. I was very much interested in Machine Learning and took Stanford course last year and prof. Andre Ng made it look so easy with focusing on practical aspect. Now I have a grasp on how things work practically it's easy to get going with the theoretical aspect (with mostly maths) and following CS229 full video set covering the original course.

Anyway good luck!
Why is Windows so crappy at network access?
This is a recurring story. You have a bunch of Windows computers setup on an internal network and you have to jump through hoops to be able to share drives/directories. Sometimes you can't even see whole machines (very common). Same OS. Same setup. Same network settings. Administrative accounts everywhere. No dice.

There's post after post on the 'net with people having these problems. You'd figure that by now MS would have come up with a simple way to make all of this work. What gives?

Or so they say. There seems to be an awful lot of blind trust that Anonymous (or people claiming to be Anonymous) really do have the goals that they've stated. If Anonymous, or a splinter group, goes after some random company, ostensibly to humiliate them, what's to say they're not being paid by the company's rivals?

No. I see that they also don't teach the history of continental philosophy in grade school. The term that you are conflating with the word "definition" is most closely related to the philosophical term "essence." Essence is the property which give things their identity -- an object without its essence loses its concrete identity. When Socrates attempts to find the essence of virtue, he does not seek to describe the things which we believe are virtuous (because complete correctness could simply be found here by enumeration), but to find the subject whose identity we are describing using the term "virtue."

Definition, however, is a descriptive, not proscriptive term. Succinctly, the definition of a term is whatever a broad consensus "agree" upon. Dictionaries serve to help identify that consensus, although they are not completely authoritative. The definition of a word may not coincide with its essence in any way -- for example, the phrase "to beg the question" has two primary definitions. The first and newer definition is equivalent to "to ask the question." The second and older definition is to assume the conclusion within the question itself. Together these definitions do not elucidate the "essence" (or "distinguishing characteristic", in Ayn Rand's primitive terminology) because they are wholly unrelated to each other. Instead, they're simply descriptions of the common modes in which English-speaking society uses the phrase "beg the question."

The best example is your definition of the word definition. The word "definition" does not have any intrinsic meaning -- only that which we place on it. Moreover, the meaning can vary between subsets of the broader population -- your use of the word definition in no way coincides with my use of the term in formal mathematics. This doesn't mean that you can't disagree with a given definition for a word, only that you're insistence that you're correct or even that your definition has some objectively superior qualification makes your use of the word the "correct" one.

Does the scanner not pick the object up at all (I don't see why this would be true), or is this simply a matter of needing to change the background color?

Because it results in uncontrollable externalities.

Take the electrician example: what happens if an unlicensed electrician kills himself when performing work? Does his family get to collect from your homeowner's insurance? Can they sue you? Are you criminally liable?

What about when you sell the house? Should you have to disclose that someone unlicensed did the wiring? What if you don't and the house ignites in a fire one night caused by improper wiring, killing the future owners, are you responsible? Is the electrician?

And you don't even want to touch the potential for abuse... regulation causes a lot of problems, I completely agree. But it serves to protect the public; we're effectively paying for protection against deception that capitalizes on our lack of knowledge in a specialty. That's worth protecting.
Most legal work is grunt work, the time spent in court is only a fraction of what a lawyer does.
I wonder if the color of the background is a simple variable or is based off physics rules? Does anybody know if they can change the color to something different?
Startup Mentoring: a delicate balance of creative destruction
Rather than get rid of the body scanners, i think they'll simply just require you to stand sideways as well, or add a scanner on the side of the machine.
> You risk your life getting into your car every day. You don't pick the most expensive car? Choosing air travel is commonly an exercise in finding the lowest price, despite the inherent risks/fear of traveling 4 miles up at 500mph. Why are these commodities while preparing a will is not?

That's easy. The expense of a car or plane doesn't indicate it's safety, infact it's usually the opposite, the more expensive the car or plane the faster it goes and less safe it can make your trip.

With a doctor or lawyer more often than not the more you pay the better the service/advice you get.

> There are transactions/disputes that require highly skilled people to direct/settle, but I wonder how many legal systems have been specifically constructed to require guidance. How can we tell when something is costly because it is complex or merely complex to make it costly?

Completely agree with this.
And they can have a two stage process (metal detector and xray) that would solve this problem too.
Summary: The background around the person is black in the scanner.

Place the object slightly distant from the person so it's also in the background (i.e. not silhouetted by the person), and the object and the background will look the same to the scanner.
What about law firms with a single lawyer and the rest associates. Nobody reports anything. Lawyers round billing, type 5 words per minute, templatize their documents but charge as if writing from scratch, and play the system in many ways, double bill for multitasking status hearings, and so on. I would be more than happy to pay the billing rate if they actually worked those hours.

I used a "traffic generation" service once (note once) and it seemed to operate through pop-unders/iframes on various third-rate sites with high traffic volume (MP3 download sites, celebrity news, etc).

Bounce rate was close to 100% and conversion was 0, but it made the hit count shoot off the chart. Interestingly, a lot of the hits never registered on Google Analytics but showed up on the web server logs. They appeared to be legitimate traffic (different IPs, user agents, etc).

I think it's checking how many x-rays are reflected back to the machine.

But since the background and the object are both metal they both reflect equally, and are indistinguishable.

The object and the background both look the same in reflected x-rays. It's not just the background color.

It's not a color like in a webpage. It's a measure of how many x-rays were received by the scanner, and presumably the background and the object both look the same.

Best I can tell, all of the problems you cite are fixed by MacRuby. It shows how surprising well Ruby semantics maps onto the message passing semantics of Objective C. They also found ways to wrap up the C stuff without making you manage your own memory.

Not sure why Apple hasn't been more aggressive in pushing it for Cocoa development. Maybe because they don't trust it to perform well, yet, on iOS devices and don't want to promote it until it can be used anywhere as a replacement for Objective C.
