Hi! I'm a passionate Python programmer. I have a background in web development using tools such as Flask and Django. I'm self-directed(entrepreneur) and spend much of my free time learning about computer science. Currently I'm interested in new opportunities full or part time.

I can do full stack web development, maintenance, deployment, and so forth. Apart from Python I also have experience with JavaScript, Common Lisp, C, and others. Feel free to browse my GitHub and please do not hesitate to contact me!

They / we are in fact the product and once it's realized that your data is being sold to others than you will change the way you interact with the networks.

They are selling you an option for a few bucks to lock in pricing for seven days. Since airline prices change several times a day, if you're paying attention to prices and notice them drop, but can't book for some reason (maybe you're booking for others and need their approval first), it's not a terrible deal.

But the option is only for buying a ticket from Continental within seven days. It's not like if prices go up, you can sell your option to someone else and pocket the difference like you can with traditional options. Since the tickets are most likely tied to non-transferable fares, their function is pretty limited.

I don't get what you can do with twitter data...
Do you know any good library?

Besides, my point was that I think time is such an essential data point, it should be handled directly by the language without the need to look for a library. Like sin() is directly accessible in every non-toy language.
we're hiring a remote community manager for http://letitcast.com
Normal people believe that information that is nearly impossibly difficult to find is as good as gone forever. (This is mostly as these same "normal people" also often don't understand that website scraping can be automated; a sad misapplication of almost-reasonable cost heuristics to a system they don't understand.)

However, on Twitter there is an extra wrinkle: neither the site nor the API allow you to go back more than 800 tweets for any view, whether it be "search results matching X" or "tweets that mention me" or "tweets posted by user Y" (the one exception being "your own tweets", where you can go back 3200).

This means that if you tweet a lot, it is impossible for another user to go back very far into your history. Even you may not be able to go back that far in your own history. As an example: if you send 20 tweets a day, your history will be inaccessible to you within 6 months, and inaccessible to other users within 6 weeks.

Given that this information is seemingly just gone--inaccessible, unable to be found from the user interface of any client, or Twitter's website, or searches on Twitter--while you and I know that they didn't delete it (in fact, Twitter even implies as much in their documentation somewhere: that the 800/3200 are only "temporary" limits), normal people are going to consider that data "vanished forever".

While the title made me wonder if this was a spoof article, I'm surprised that no one here finds the article chilling. Forget the politicians, the intended use is for modifying people's behaviour. From friends' anecdotes (both Japanese friends and those who spent many years in Japan), there is strong pressure to conform in Japanese schools. Imagine this scenario:

Speech jammers are introduced into Japanese schools. From the article: “We have to establish and obey rules for proper turn-taking when speaking." Sounds like a school to me. This type of technology used on kids could have long-term impact on their ability to think during public conversations. And once the teacher realizes they can silence any student at will, do you think they'll stop at the "louder, stronger" voices? Any student with an opinion the teacher doesn't like could get zapped. And the worst part is not that other students won't hear their ideas -- it's that the student herself will have those thoughts disrupted.

Entrepreneurs are who we are because we think outside the box -- we do things we're told can't be done. Most people aren't like that. And imagine if every time you talked about anything "out of the norm" as a child your very thoughts were stopped. Chilling.

I guess if Japanese authorities want that kind of conformity, it might help the US economy...but I'm still not a fan.

Classes are neither semantic or insemantic, merely sensible or insensible.

Realising that classes aren't subject to the same semantics as elements is a massive breakthrough for a front-end developer to make IMO.

These classes aren't 'semantic' because no classes are; semantics in the front-end development sense is when something (i.e. a machine) can glean meaning from something. No machines (browsers, search bots, assistive technologies etc) actually interpret classes, they merely match them. The only thing that gleans meaning from a class is a human, so you should write classes for people.

Thus, in a roundabout way, no classes are semantic, so we need to stop worrying about that.

Cheers for the comment!
