It could possibly be a plugin that has taken my natural behavior of Tab.

Darn. If it is, I've wasted your time. But then again, it's quite frustrating if it could be a plugin or something confugured in about://flags.

For instance, if I change the way Tab movies on OS X (snow leopard), it will toggle between jumping to bookmarks or to apps (which sit on the same row as the address bar). Sometimes if I Shift+Tab from the address bar, it will go to the last link on a web page.
"uTP on the other hand allows BitTorrent nodes to dynamically adjust bandwith congestion at the protocol level and also provides some additional functions, like support clients using low bandwidth or sharing ADSL line with a web browser."

In other words, this isn't a threat to Bittorrent as a technology alone, yet. I wonder how much of an impact it makes on uTP-enabled clients and if you'd be better off disabling it if you connect to an affected swarm.
God says...
Jehoahaz away: and he came to Egypt, and died there.

23:35 And Jehoiakim gave the silver and the gold to Pharaoh; but he
taxed the land to give the money according to the commandment of
Pharaoh: he exacted the silver and the gold of the people of the land,
of every one according to his taxation, to give it unto Pharaohnechoh.

23:36 Jehoiakim was twenty and five years old when he began to reign;
and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was
Zebudah, the daughter of Pedaiah of Rumah.

23:37 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD,
according to all that his fathers had done.

24:1 In his days Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up, and Jehoiakim
became his servant three years: then he turned and rebelled against
him.

The relevant quote:

> "There’s also huge differences from neighborhood to neighborhood as you are unlikely to find someone interested in the Mission (hipsters, homeless and immigrants)"

This does seem to be used in a derogatory way, and I did miss it the first time around. I don't think this is an innocent use of "immigrant" at all.

And hell, for a neighborhood that nobody's interested in, the Mission is one of the most expensive of them all. Go figure!
Here's a random example from one of the debates... http://vote4reason.com/2011/12/11/ron-paul-wins-iowa-abc-gop...

"In closing, Rick Perry said he has most learned from Ron Paul’s effort to end the Federal Reserve, and why it matters."

In later debates, Gingrich seemed to make similar moves: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCC0vokYHnY

Not saying Paul was completely transformative, but his take on the Federal Reserve which I think was largely considered "extreme" started to become more of a mainstream GOP topic.

Same here - didn't get it at all at first. When I read "Pick your favorite sites. Take a video. Swipe to share.", I thought that it allowed you to share videos that you found on YouTube or other video sites, which didn't make any sense.

You have understand something if you are to understand Ron Pauls actions from the last election.

He is OLD and has been running for this forever. He has always been an outsider. Always.

And he never ever expected to win. He ran to get some discussion, to shake the political system up a bit.

What Ron Paul didn't expect was the massive boost he would get from the internet. The first generation to grow up with the internet had come of voting age and quite frankly we were sick and tired of George Bush and many of us didn't believe in Obama either (and, by the god I don't believe in, were we ever right) and then, seemingly out of nowhere, comes this politician who have something that we would never expect to see -- honestly and fucking integrity. In a politician?

So basically you have a man how is used to being ignored and people who are used to ignore politicians. So he meets the supporters never expecting anything to happen and suddenly the money bombs starts to go of, soldiers overseas donate massively to his campaign and he is making more progress than he had done all the years before.

Basically he was nowhere near ready for the onslaught that came his ways -- much like the shops in west Berlin had no idea what was about to happen when the wall came down -- and really, I can't fault the guy. How could he possibly know that this time it was different? Heck I couldn't have predicted it and I almost live on the internet.

And by the way he has one additional trick up his sleeve that is about to go of in a month or two. It may be worth sticking around to watch.
I think all that stuff is great, and that's why I supported him last time, but then he also has some less good platforms, like wanting to bring back a gold-backed currency [1], and a perhaps controversial stance on the legality of abortion. He's a mixed bag to me, and on top of that, he just comes off as not being sure why he's even in the race.

[1] Hard currency is deflationary rather than inflationary, which takes away much of the incentive for holders of wealth to place their holdings in relatively risky placements such as seed funding and venture capital funds (a consequence HN readers would surely realize the distateful meaning of). This decreases social mobility, which is anathema to the American Way. Inflation, to a point, is the lubricant for social mobility.
I have to object "arigatameiwaku". First off, it's really two words: "arigata", which means (in this context) "appreciated", and "meiwaku", which really is a word that we don't exactly have in English but roughly means "annoyance", and is tightly coupled with Japanese cultural concepts of societal acceptance.

Secondly, we do, in fact, have a very closely related term in English: "white elephant".

I might be a bit wrong here, esp. with BSD. :P Mea cupla.

I know that BSD, unlike GPL, does not require that derived code be BSD licenced. And when I was talking about "source code" I was thinking of the original code (not the derived work), but I was wrong about BSD not requiring that you provide the source. Many big users of BSD code (e.g. Apple) provide the BSD source code they use, so I thought it was required.

However, for GPL, "commerical" vs. "noncommercial" is irrelevant.

Here is the problem.

Most environmentalist believe they can solve the worlds problem by exchanging the current sources of energy with newer more environmentally friendly ones.

But this is a linear solution to an exponential problem. The need for energy is going to increase manifold the next couple of decades.

Can you name me one type of renewable energy that offers anything but a different source for same output?

Thorium Reactors are one thing but it smells too much of nuclear and thus have most of the world running scared. This of course despite more people dying or coal burning in a year than have died of nuclear disasters.

So yes the government is risk averse and eviromentialism is creating a false premise about how to solve the worlds problems.
While this is a great strategy (I did just that when I moved cross-country a few months ago), it's worth recognizing that it's predicated on owning suitably cheap furniture. As you move beyond the stage in your life where your apartment is outfitted solely by Ikea, this gets less and less viable.

I'd like to see libertarians admit that most people simply don't like Ron Paul and his policy platform, rather than try and claim it as a conspiracy of the political elite to keep him out.

The political elite, like most of America, don't give two shits about Ron Paul. They're not afraid of him; they ignore him. He's easy to ignore, because he will never be a threat. He will never be president, not just because he doesn't have the charisma to win an election, but because his policies are actively off-putting.

Paul fans like to claim that there are things to ling about him from all sides of the political spectrum. This is true. As a liberal, I like his stance on civil liberties, drug policy, and the like. However, I hate his economic policies, which appear to be crafted under the illusion that the world stopped turning in the 1920s. So while I like some things about him, I would never vote for him. Likewise for social conservatives: while they might like his tax policies, they hate his social ones.

Ron Paul is a perennial also-ran because his policies actively repulse the vast majority of Americans. Deal with it, and stop blaming it on some conspiracy of the political elite.
There's always work to do exactly because there are always people looking for work. It's not the other way around. Most jobs aren't necessary for our survival, so people who don't want to work shouldn't be forced to work.

If you have no credit, you can get a secured credit card and have a 650-700 fico in a few months. You'll have a thin file so don't expect a mortgage or anything, but in a year or two even that will be no problem.

Bad credit? You can do a lot to clean it up before the 7 years are up, but ive seen this in my own family and it's really a waiting game for bad entries to age off your report.

And anecdotally, which would you prefer to lend to: somebody with no track record, knowing the average American has a 650+ credit score, or somebody who has bad credit and a proven history of not repaying obligations.

It is subjective though, and ymmv.
You won't have wasted "that many years" if you took courses that taught you something useful, even if you did not graduate.
It's doing the same thing, but in a very different way. Flash video uses ancient, terrible codes; requires proprietary Adobe servers (although there's been some good work on this from Wowza, Red5, et al); doesn't use open protocols like SIP.

What will change? Maybe nothing, but it's definitely interesting work. One could, for instance, use this as the endpoint of a SIP PBX without serious effort, which is not the case for a Flash endpoint.
Incredibly difficult to use. I tried sharing a link, and it worked nothing like I expected, and involved at least 4 attempts.

> There is ALWAYS useful work to do

Yep, the only problem is the amount of this work. Fixing or building a road or a bridge takes a lot less people than it used to. Trends in other fields are similar. You can argue that this can be compensated for by building more or better bridges, but at some point the society's appetite for useful bridges will hit a cost barrier.
Agree completely. I tried to check it out on nexus galaxy. Facebook login didn't work, still not sure why as the popup was disfunctional. Will probably never visit again.
The fact that definition can be evaluated many times is not really relevant here. What is important is how one specifies language's semantic -- for instance, Common Lisp: The Language, 2nd edition book (I don't own ANSI standard) says:

When the function represented by the lambda expression is applied to arguments, the arguments and parameters are processed in order from left to right. (...) If optional parameters are specified, then each one is processed as follows. If any unprocessed arguments remain, then the parameter variable var is bound to the next remaining arguments, just as for required parameter. If no arguments remain, however, then the initform part of the parameter specifier is evaluated, and the parameter variable is bound to the resulting value (...).

The CLTL2 specifies that the form representing the default value of optional parameter shall be evaluated every time the parameter is not provided.

SF in the 90s was an awesome place for punk and industrial music, cyberpunk visions of the future, ratbikes, raves, and a lot more arty types mixing with the nerds. As things cleaned up and gentrified, a lot of what I consider to be the cool culture was replaced by trustifarians and graphic designers who like to cultivate the image of a bicycle messenger or blue-collar worker.

SF still has a lot to offer, but it just feels very fake and flooded with money to me. When everyone in the room is making six figures, it's hard to take the person in the thrift-shop shirt and tattoos seriously.

Haha. I hadn't realized that PC has come so far that you are no longer allowed to recognize or comment on immigrant neighborhoods.

There's lots of poor people and Spanish speaking people in the mission. This is good if you like Taquerias, bad if you dislike grime. If you don't fit in with homeless, hipster, or Latin culture, you will feel like an outsider. Some people may like it, some people may not. But if you don't like it, you are no longer allowed to say so!

I'm guessing that his offense is not embracing Latin culture. It is okay to dislike homeless culture, because
everyone does, or hipster culture, since it is predominantly White. But you aren't allowed to dislike Latin culture, since it is non-European and therefore protected. Interesting.
People who have attended college should be more qualified for more jobs than those who haven't. They should be more employed, but they aren't.

In fact they are more employed, according to the article, if they actually graduated (as opposed to merely attending). The article gives, for people 25 and up, the following unemployment rates:

Overall: 6.6% unemployed
High school, no college: 7.7% unemployed
Some college, no degree: 8% unemployed
2-year college degree: 6.2% unemployed
4-year college degree: 4% unemployed

So clearly the two "have degree" categories have lower unemployment rates than the no-degree categories do. The article seems to want to conflate people who did and didn't graduate into one "attended college" category.
