When they need the world to do something for them, they are like "But look, we're the world's biggest faith, so you should take our wishes into account."

But when the world needs something of them, they are like "There are a million denominations with different beliefs, so we can not take our part in doing anything"

Not good.

The men in that far country were liars, every one. Their mere howdy-do
was a lie, because _they_ didn't care how you did, except they were
undertakers. To the ordinary inquirer you lied in return; for you made
no conscientious diagnostic of your case, but answered at random, and
usually missed it considerably. You lied to the undertaker, and said
your health was failing--a wholly commendable lie, since it cost you
nothing and pleased the other man. If a stranger called and interrupted
you, you said with your hearty tongue, "I'm glad to see you," and said
with your heartier soul, "I wish you were with the cannibals and it was
dinner-time." When he went, you said regretfully, "_Must_ you go?" and
followed it with a "Call again;" but you did no harm, for you did not
deceive anybody nor inflict any hurt, whereas the truth would have made
you both unhappy.

I think that all this courteous lying is a sweet and loving art, and
should be cultivated. The highest perfection of politeness is only a
beautiful edifice, built, from the base to the dome, of graceful and
gilded forms of charitable and unselfish lying.

What I bemoan is the growing prevalence of the brutal truth. Let us do
what we can to eradicate it. An injurious truth has no merit over an
injurious lie. Neither should ever be uttered. The man who speaks an
injurious truth lest his soul be not saved if he do otherwise, should
reflect that that sort of a soul is not strictly worth saving. The man
who tells a lie to help a poor devil out of trouble, is one of whom the
angels doubtless say, "Lo, here is an heroic soul who casts his own
welfare in jeopardy to succor his neighbor's; let us exalt this
magnanimous liar."

Is there really anything better for searching youtube for music than just using google?
The view is broken on Safari (OS X, and I believe other platforms). Also I found this app very confusing, there are so many details/features and I couldn't figure out what to do with this app. The point is not made clear.
Firefox's built-in inspector is pretty nice too.
Is socket.push(bytes) all you need to program Realtime Web apps?
There are quite a few web frameworks that target the development of realtime web applications. Mostly, however, the solution is by providing an API that allows developers to push/receive messages from/to an open channel.

Though this kind of API offers an opportunity to get started doing Realtime Web, it doesn’t offer a programming model for dealing with the challenges encountered when programming with streams of data, including creating, adapting, manipulating, filtering and merging streams of data and all of the synchronization involved.

It's all about risk vs reward. Most of the IIT kids come from middle or lower middle class families. Generally, affluent kids don't really bother with IIT as it requires a lot of hard work to get into.

I grew up in lower middle class and my dad worked really hard to put me through school. I did freelancing to pay for my own college. (I studied in NIT, not IIT). After I finished graduation, I wanted to earn money so that I can support my family. There is no way, I could have told my family that I want to take a chance on this start up for an eventual big exit.This was not the only major factor. I had a 'scooter' when I went to college as I couldn't afford motorbike. As a young 21 year old, I wanted to get a well paid IT job so that I can buy the bike (and other toys) that I have been eyeing for so long. When you have just graduated after working so hard, you want to reap the rewards right away. I can bet that good number of IIT grads feel that way.

Let's fast forward to 2012. I have a friend, who studied at IIT-Mumbai, quit a well paying job in the USA and went to Bangalore to start a data warehouse startup. Another friend decided to go to India and start his own gym. After working for 7 years in the USA, I have made some savings and I think I can now take chances. I have been working on my idea on side and see if I can quit full time job.
OT: you need one empty line between each line to do the bullet point you wanted.
There are solutions that do not need any pre-established magnetic field maps, because they simply derive velocity from local magnetic field disturbances and use magnometer measurements as an additional input for odometry calculations, using data fusion algorithms (e.g Kalman filtering). This allows to basically eliminate the drift induced by two successive integrations with low-cost IMUs.

And with enough sensors (4 magnetometers) you can reconstruct 3D trajectory.

The following thesis is fascinating and very instructive: http://pastel.archives-ouvertes.fr/docs/00/50/10/05/PDF/pdfV...

Chapter 5 is very instructive, in particular the section Measuring magnetic fields gradients to derive velocity.

Excerpts:
If the body moves, then the sensed magnetic field must change according to Maxwell’s equations. If the magnetic measurements do not change significantly, then the solid body is not moving. This permits us to rule out velocity drifts in our estimation. Ultimately, this improves the position information obtained by integrating the velocity estimate.

Note that they don't use the raw magnetic field, but its gradients, i.e a physical quantity that is intrinsequely local. Filtering out the earth's magnetic fields becomes quite easy (I suppose..) since these gradients are fast-varying quantities in comparison. Kind of like when you use an accelerometer: gravity is low-frequency, motions are high-frequency.

Not really, the other elements of sex are what keep 'regular' sex interesting; the connection, the variety of foreplay or positions, the fact that there's a real person there :D

I won't pretend to know much about the science behind it, but my understanding is that a habit of porn removes the link between being horny and then becoming sexually aroused. So instead of getting an erection because you see your sexy wife, you're getting one because you're so used to watching porn at 2 am before bed. And the extremely graphic and immediate nature of porn means that habit is a very strong one. It's like a chocolate bar in the immediate gratification and overwhelming of your senses. Whereas sex with a wife is more like a delicious but wholesome meal you sit down and enjoy. And that continues to be delicious no matter how much you eat it.

Oh, and since when was wanting your wife to dress up as Princess Leia seen as kinky? :P
It's not clear to me how the fallacy you link to applies in this case.
Brain works in completely moronic and unpredictable ways, I desperately want an API to script it.
It's easy understand that developers don't really want support older platforms as that might be quite of a burden. But please don't drop support if you can. Not everyone likes updating to newest version of OS on their phone all the time especially if there are no significant changes coming. (IMO There haven't been any killer features in 5.x and 6.x revisions of iOS.)

The thing that annoys me most is Mac applications that don't support 10.6 any more even though that's shoudn't be hard at all as desktop APIs are quite stable and don't change much. Or applications that support full screen only on 10.7. (Seriously, Evernote?)
Well, you may be exaggerating, but I found my stay in SF similarly disorienting.

We were staying at 4th and Mission, surrounded by luxury stores and hotels. At night, though, it was like Dawn of the Dead, with street-zombies wandering around talking to themselves.

Sadly (to me), they were almost all black. In Toronto, the homeless have the decency to be fairly racially inclusive (with Native Americans somewhat over-represented).

If you use the ubuntu/debian package management system to install texlive (e.g. apt-get install texlive-full) you get a version that contains packages from 3 years ago.

These often contain bugs that have long been fixed or are incompatible with tools they interface with (e.g. gnuplot/pgf).
In case you are still following this I figured I would briefly share this. Note I am not a Christian but rather a bit of a neopagan and polytheist.

One of the huge problems of course is how Christians relate to the story of the Fall from Eden. You hear this brought up all the time, and the lesson they draw from it is follow social mores. Don't rock the boat, don't rebel. But a close, careful reading suggests:

1) The fall from Eden is foreshadowed in Genesis 2 with the description of marriage.

2) The forbidden fruit is general heterosexual activity. This is particularly obvious when including a look at Middle Eastern iconography and, in particular, figures like the Pazuzu, who had a serpent-headed penis. Yes, the tree of knowledge is knowledge in the biblical sense ;-).

3) This act of rebellion creates the Biblical model of (heterosexual) marriage.

The problem for Christians is that the very model they want to push arises from the very act of rebellion they want to use to bludgeon everyone else into submission.
A nice feature to add would be a highlighted or bold title for the official music video. Youtube video titles are often misleading, sometimes titles even include "Official" when they are actually dubstep remixes or cover versions.

I honestly can't think of how this could be automated though. Maybe integrate some sort of crowd-curation with Official videos being verified by users of the site.

An interesting statistic to put this article into perspective.

1. This system scans 200,000 cells per second.
2. There are 30 trillion blood cells in an average human.

We'll have stuff like real time blood filtering eventually and when we do that will be something really really impressive.

Nonsense. For all we know, he ate there once. Homesickness is a common experience for travellers in a very different culture.
Maybe not quite directed at you but this touches on a different negative experience I have had.

One of the interesting problems I have had with various parts of the TexLive community (not sure if it is everywhere) is an unwillingness to discuss support for older versions.

It is one thing to desire that cutting-edge releases release relatively cutting-edge versions. It is very different to insist that long term support distros keep up with the cutting edge.

My software runs on servers. I have no expectation that we will see current TexLive versions installed and every expectation that we won't. Yet we do the best we can and when something blows up (xelatex complaining about being outdated and having to be configured from the command-line) we address it. It's just discouraging to hear over and over that we should be requiring the latest and greatest.
Great little screencast - thanks for that!
There's a mountain of evidence that supports the fact that millions of Jewish people were killed in concentration camps.

Are you seriously claiming that the biggest issue that holocaust deniers have is that the "official" version isn't "100% accurate".
I think this is even more important for Javascript files. So many times I'll look at something to learn and find it's minified, which makes it a lot harder, there are tools to deminify but obviously a lot of semantic information is lost and then I can't step through etc.
A great programmer, sure! A good developer... I don't think so :) But I'm not here to discuss semantics.

I wouldn't recommend that course at all and I would even rate it as an utter failure.

It is not aimed to people with basic programming skills. The code snippets mostly consist of complex, clever one-liners and the examples are bit unfortunate.

You just need to take a look at the forums and see the prevailing discontent. Folks who had just completed CS101 were just not able to get past the very first units. And instead of addressing this problem, they just apologized and (rightly) ranked the course under the advanced category!

A stable, regulated banking regime was in place in the United States until the 1980's and 1990's. The 80's saw the results of "innovation" in the financial sector through the implosion of thousands of savings & loan institutions. We didn't adopt our current laissez faire regime of "bankers gone wild" until the late 90's.

My memory may be foggy, but I don't recall the period of 1945-1999 as some sort of socialist nightmare for the United States. Most people think of this era as a golden age.

Regulation doesn't mean nationalization. It means that you put rules in place to do things like eliminate practices the fundamentally place the bank at odds with their customers. Things like using the customer deposits to make multi-billion dollar gambles (JP Morgan Chase, MF Global). Or subject the firm to tend of billions of dollars worth of liability that the firm is unable to make good on (AIG). Or commit outright fraud (Countrywide, Washington Mutual, Barclays, etc).

I don't work in the financial industry, so the normal laws of business apply. If I systematically broke internal controls and rigged KPIs to achieve the maximum bonus compensation possible for me, I'd be investigated, terminated and likely prosecuted. Why shouldn't the guy managing my money have the same accountability?
Perhaps you are more familiar with Robinson's derivation but Keisler has an axiomatic approach that makes calculus easier for students than regular calculus (besides by the time you are doing continuous differentiation you are already calling on some far out concepts like real numbers and inifinity).

And real understanding takes time no matter what you do, the best one can do is start off in a manner such that the tools required to understand well enough are not more complicated than the subject matter itself.
The situation is even worse. This is mine: http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/5352/screenkkw.png

As you can see Germany is completely blocked (I've set all the protections to off/minimum), China is the same (this could be understable). But the really main problem in my experience is that it blocked all the traffics from Italian connections too from Fastweb, which is a provider that NAT his network, so many people have the same IP, the problem is that Cloudflare has few of their IP blocked, so all that users will see the captcha page.
I've solved adding the whole country in the permit list. I've notified few times to the support email but the problem still there (and I guess with other providers, I noticed that one because I was a Fastweb user)

p.s. today, as many others, I'm also getting many 502 bad gateway errors on connection.... that's really bad :(

For living in time and dealing with it regularly in a common sense sort of way, it is really rather challenging to manage effectively as data.
It must require you to be moving in a straight line; otherwise you have just one parameter, the angle of the magnetic field, and there is no way for that one parameter to specify your location in 2 dimensional space.
Right? I don't think so. I didn't mention the Craigslist "We will never sell classified space online!" diatribe either.

The point was: THEY WERE on the forefront of new technologies. OCR was the 5th newspaper online (after Mercury News, SF Chronicle, NY Times, Detroit Free Press).

And I don't think you understand the cost of print journalism. Print journalism might be more profitable if you have an economy of scale to support is infrastructure, but even in 1999 the display ad and classified business was waning to the point where it didn't break even on a single property. Only in aggregate for OCR's parent (Freedom Communications).

And lets not even talk daily subscription numbers, which were on the decline starting around the same time.

Newspapers followed a similar, albeit slower arc that the music business has, especially the recorded music business. A lot of the same hubris included.
