What you said deserves four downvotes.

A) If your message is "You're learning it the wrong way. You need to actively work to understand and do research on your own." then that is mildly rude and also not really very germane to the discussion. The whole point of the service is to do the best possible job guiding you through learning programming; having to fire up Google to complete its exercises is a failure mode. The parent is offering specific, valuable feedback as to where and how it fails.

B) But you didn't just say that. Instead, you signed it off with a baseless, bullshit line insulting the poster and half of the userbase, and that's all it is, an insult; unless you have some very interesting studies in your back pocket, you have absolutely no idea whether "passively consuming large amounts of content has really hampered [our] ability for meaningful learning." That is pure flamebait. Leave it in your keyboard.
This is useless. Incorporation is not really the problem. Being outside the US is the problem. Compliance issues in both countries will cost a lot more than the incorporation. They are either ignorant of the issues and not compliant or paying a lot for an expert on international tax.
Coco is amazing. To avoid becoming a "ghost town", I have made LiveScript much more compatible with CoffeeScript, easing transitions. I have invested time into making a decent website, and have now composed a couple of blog posts promoting LiveScript. Already several people have written projects in LiveScript: https://github.com/gkz/LiveScript/wiki/Projects-using-LiveSc...
I hope with my continued efforts that the scenario you describe can be avoided.
Denver International Airport Transportation — 4 Things to Look For
Heading in or out of Denver International Airport? Transportation to and from might be your biggest worry! After all, you need to arrive way before your plane takes off, or you need someone to pick you up as soon as your flight lands.
I don't have a perspective here. Marcela Gaviria does not confirm the quote attributed to Assange, as she could not because she was not there.

I did also look for a denial from Goertz or Stark, I couldn't find one either. They do have a book, perhaps there is more detail there.

The "they deserve to die" quote is very damaging, and quite frankly probably the kind of thing a journalist would remember, and perhaps even report. You could conversely say that Goertz or Stark should confirm this if it's true. I couldn't find any evidence of this.

I wasn't. It's a calculation of resources used in construction, not emissions which is a different issue.

I was saying that wind might have no emissions, but you still use lots and lots of resources in building it, so you have to include those when analyzing environmental impact.

why use

map (-> it.length > x), list
map (call \toUpperCase), 'haha'

for functions with only one free variable?

IMHO it would be prettier to have something like scala's _

map (_.length > x), list
map (_.toUpperCase), 'haha'

i.e. automatically build a closure when _ is used eithout the need for additional anonymous function syntax
The Java Heist
It's not hypocrisy, it's sound International Relations theory.

Israel, for various reasons, is not a power-projecting entity in the Middle East as it has displayed no strategic desire to exert hegemonic influence over the surrounding region. Its strategic posture is primarily defensive, so accordingly its nuclear strategy is also defensive. This is why Israel's neighbours are not massively concerned about its nuclear stockpile.

Iran's government and military on the other hand have openly stated the country's regional hegemonic strategic ambitions. It wishes to weaken the Sunni Arab balance of power (Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Egypt, etc) that has held sway over the region for the past few decades. Hence it should be regarded as a state which wishes to project power over its neighbours and become the primary influence in the region.

That difference in strategic outlook makes all the difference in the world, because it means that Iran is likely to use its nuclear capability as a protective umbrella under which it can undermine the Middle East's most powerful countries without fear of retaliation.

This is why the Wikileaks memos showed that most strong Arab powers were secretly in support of American or Israeli action against Iran. An unbalanced Middle East and an Iran free to use its proxies such as Hezbollah against whoever it chooses represent grave strategic threats to every established power in the Middle East. Any additional chaos in turn is dangerous for Israel, as are an unleashed Hezbollah and Hamas.

That's why it makes perfect sense for Israel to oppose Iran's acquisition of nuclear weapons despite having an arsenal of its own and why other countries, including most of the EU, are more concerned about Iran building nuclear weapons than they are about Israel already having them.

If I took it literally, then I'd be imagining "good" employees literally bouncing around, and "bad" employees... well, I have no idea how to bounce down, so perhaps my imagination is not as good as it should be. :-)

However, I still don't see how you can back up your claims that good employees seem to recover better than bad employees. I don't see how you could know!

Judging by what I've seen of adult relationships, it's a column that's needed by more than just "teens."

We, as a species, are afraid of rejection, and we hate being the ones to reject another person. I don't know if it's evolutionary or so ingrained in every culture as to be effectively evolutionary, but somewhere in our caveman brain, we're kicking someone out of a small tribe and leaving them to die, something to be taken very seriously.

Further, we've told these people to quit their current stable jobs, or start making plans with the income they have, rather than thinking of it as fleeting or temporary. It feels like an awful human thing to do, especially to a likable person.

Many of the firing advice columns I've seen are as simple as "it's not the end of the world for either of you." And that's a lesson that takes more than one link on HN to get.

(I think it's also a lesson that's hard in most of our dating lives, from what I've seen..)
I agree 100%.

However, let's not overlook the fact that there are a proportion of managers who view termination as both the start and the end of the process with no conversation taking place. I think that's the "at will" part of the "at will termination" clause everyone signs. And I have a sneaking suspicion that this proportion is much larger than we might hope to think.

http://aws.amazon.com/directconnect/

"Complete the AWS Direct Connect interest form indicating your choices. If you don’t already have infrastructure at your selected AWS Direct Connect location, you may optionally indicate on the form that you would like to be contacted by an AWS Direct Connect Solution Provider."

The key point here is "If you don’t already have infrastructure" and "contacted by an AWS Direct Connect Solution Provider". Now it's true that some of these companies may not want to work with someone who is only going to be hosting a server or two. In my experience, when dealing with these larger companies, you can get a referral to a reseller/affiliate if they can't (or won't) help you directly.
My conclusion was essentially the same, yes. Degrade to links for browsers without pushState.
Eh, not any more. JWZ is a has-been, who admittedly did good things back in the 90's, but who has lost touch with the industry when he became a hobby coder. This post is a clear demonstration of that - if he knew even a little bit what he was talking about, he wouldn't make the outrageous claims he does. But no, he just want to hang on to his toys he wrote 15 years ago and have them work with just a recompile on platforms that don't even remotely resemble the platforms he wrote them for back then. That's just absurd. And yes, I too complain (loudly) when I have to change code to accommodate changes in the platform (like how VS12 doesn't support WinXP) but in the end, deep down, I recognize that that's just how it has to go, and so should somebody who knows (or should know) much better than me, like JWZ.
Sorry, I'm not really sure if you're trolling.

You probably used English as a lingua franca, what happens is that whoever watches you doesn't understand 99% of what you're saying except for a few keywords. This has caused a lot of diplomatic grief even between allied countries, because without context the worst is always assumed (cognitive bias, I guess). It seems to me a similar situation applies here so a list of words to avoid or replace would be a sensible thing to use.
It's certainly possible to perform that particular customisation on Android: the launcher is just another app, and many are available.

I would say it is great design.

Why? Because there is an also very important requirement: when the user wants to get his stuff out let him do it immediately: do not waste his time. This way they did not compromise this important requirement while gave a solution to the other problem as well.

I don't recall Israel stating an intention to obliterate the people of Iran with nuclear genocide. In fact, Israel has shown superhuman levels of restraint, when faced with a psychotic theocracy that talks about mass murdering Jews every day of the week.

If Israel had desired to do so, they could have glassed the entire Middle East a long time ago, and there is nobody that could or would do anything about it. Samson says so.

There's two reasons for firing somebody in my experience. Hiring a bad employee and hiring the wrong employee.

This list is mostly about the first kind I think - because of the line "Some people who get fired react by fixing their weaknesses". The wrong person doesn't have "weaknesses" to fix. You hired a round peg, when you should have hired a square one. Its your fault - not theirs.

(Okay - the "bad" employee hire is your fault too, but it's a different kind of mistake.)
Wow ... this guy is just an arrogant idiot ...

You first need to understand that opengl specification are not made to be easy to use, but efficient. And the api design is highly constraint by the hardware. You also need to understand that opengl 1.3 is FCKING 11 YEARS OLD !

Back in the day you had immediate mode. You first call glBegin, then make one call to glVertex for each vertex and finally call glEnd. So if you want to render one frame of a cube, that's 1+6*4+1=26 calls, and for each call your cpu send data to the graphic card.
There are two huge problems with that : you need to the transfer the same vertex data to the graphic card for each frame and your cpu processing power limit your graphic card processing power (because cpu calls take way more time than your graphic card takes to render a vertex).

Why was it designed like that in the first place if it's inefficient ? Easy : there were no graphic card. All the 3D rendering was done by the cpu.

So with the development of more powerful graphic card, they updated the specification. With the new api you allocate memory buffers of vertex directly on your graphic card memory and you just need to call one function to render the whole buffer. So you don't need to transfer all the vertex data at each frame, and you don't need to do gazillion of function calls to render a cube.
THIS WAS IN 2004 !

So when the khronos consortium (just a reminder, the "idiots" are : Apple, AMD/ATI, Nvidia, Intel, Google, Id Software, ...) decided in 2007 to make a mobile version (ES stand for embedded system) of opengl, did they choose to base their api on something conceived in 1992 and dropped in 2004 ?
OF COURSE NOT !

But why not keep it compatible ? Well it's a waste of time. Developers shouldn't use deprecated functionality since 2004 in 2012, especially when it's highly inefficient.

This guy need to grow up, understand that opengl ES main objective is not screensavers, understand that he sometimes need to update a little bit his programming knowledge and acknowledge that he's not an expert in the very complex field of gpu.

tldr; he's the idiot
All 786 known planets to scale
Hey, I actually can kind of see where this premise is coming from. Not completely. But let's see how it kind of philosophically does make a tiny bit of sense. It does violate my privacy (even more) if someone tells me they've been spying on me.

To see this, consider: after someone spies on you, what's the least damage they can do to your privacy? Obviously the most is to publish everything they have on you for everyone. But what's the least?

The least damage is to completely forget it, never mention it, never think about it, and not even acknowledge or record it - let the world be exactly the same as if they had not spied on me.

I'm not saying this is better than ACTUALLY not ever spying on me, but it's the best thing for my privacy once they have.

Say you're a security person and do bag searches, a celebrity comes through and you actually see something very embarrassing in their bag, on some subject there's been public speculation on. (Their sexuality, whether they have some disease and you see meds for it, whatever). What's the best way to protect their privacy after you clear them (nothing dangerous in the bag)?

Obviously, by not even mentioning/acknowledging that you searched them, just by moving on.

If all my email (along with everyone else's) is being scanned to see if I'm concocting a terrorist plot, then the best you can do after this fact is not even ackowledge this and in every way act and produce a world as though it never happened.

Note that this does not make the original invasion of privacy any better. It doesn't condone it. It may also make it harder to instate more appropriate privacy policies in the future. But the premise "If I answered you 'every single person on US territory who has sent an email or made or received a telephone call in the past 36 months' then it would violate your privacy" is not completely devoid of any merit. Should every single person's privacy have been violated? No. We have constitutional protections against that sort of thing.

If it has, would it violate their privacy further to go boasting about this fact? What if it means that anyone suing you for anything can use this knowledge to do discovery and request your communications from the government? In this and a myriad other scenarios, telling the extent to which you invaded people's privacy can be worse for their privacy than refusing to do so.

Not saying I'm convinced. I'm just saying there's a little something in this line of thought. Obviously the late Martin Luther King's privacy is far worse off now than if we never knew that the FBI kept detailed files on him...

I recently bought a electric adjustable desk from IKEA. (Link to swedish IKEA: http://www.ikea.com/se/sv/catalog/products/S69806883/ ).

I can really recommend it even if you'll seldom actually stand up using it. It allows you to change the height a little every now and then so you can vary the position you have.
The way I read the rules, this would be the strategy:

If you pick 1, and opponent picks 1, then no score.

But if opponent picks 1, and you pick 2, then you will win 3 points.

If your opponent thinks you are going to pick 2, he can pick 3 for 5 points. But if you go 1 instead, then you win 1.
I don't think the conclusion is correct. First, I have seen mails from Pakistani, Iranian and North Korean scammers as well.

I think the hackers challenge is to present a story that is credible enough. Claiming to be from a country that is perceived to be mismanaged and corrupt by the target audience helps. Linking it to some real event such as some real coup makes it even more credible. But finally, once someone gullible enough follows up - if you have a nigerian accent or ask them to mail to a nigerian account, claiming to be from some other place will make maintaining that credibility very difficult. I believe that is primarily why nigerian scammers pretend to be Nigerian, and Iranian scammers pretend to be Iranian.
As I said, if I'm not convincing please go ahead and used signed numbers as I get the popcorn ;)
