From what I can tell, there isn't much difference. My guess is the developer was making up for the lack of this functionality in Django 1.3 and didn't realize that 1.4 added it. Before 1.4, django pipeline was a good solution but was difficult to work with IMO. Glad to see this included in 1.4 for sure.
Yes, all the things you mentioned, plus building the actual plant.

As far as new breeder designs, it's a bit too late. Nuclear promised us "energy too cheap to meter" and construction and maintenance costs have kept going down. Meanwhile solar and wind have been regularly going down in price with each doubling of production.

The case against nuclear isn't environmental; it's economic.

EDIT: I'm not comfortable with the accuracy of what I wrote. I'm leaving it for the use of the term "lying culture", which I think is real and is a useful summary term.

Negotiating such circumstances continues to be a struggle, for me. To the extent my opinion has any value, though, I would recommend being on the lookout for becoming part of or involved with a "lying culture" and getting out of such circumstances as soon as possible.

As I stated, in my case I compensated. For me, that seemed to end up being a self-destructive approach.

Several bad personal circumstances perhaps kept me more "trapped" than I might otherwise have been -- if it was not just personal weakness. Regardless, from that perspective, my recommendation is to walk away. The sooner you do so, the less it's going to cost you. And you won't be further empowering those who are shoveling the shit.

--

I started a longer comment, but I'm going to reduce it to the phrase I used within it: A lying culture.

A lying culture is corrosive, and it is particularly damaging to those who don't lie and aren't interested in the priorities such a culture tends to emphasize. (Personal power, control, and exploitation.)

I've managed to negotiate some such cultures, in good part by finding and connecting with the decent sub-population within them. Sometimes that included winning the trust of somewhat disengaged employees over to my cause.

However, negotiating such a culture for a time does not equate with long term success. I think, in retrospect, it is better to get out. Personal connections can mask, but not counteract, the larger influences.

It is also worth keeping a keen ear tuned to if and when your work culture starts turning into a lying culture.

Those "stay the course", "engagement", et al. memos can be one canary, and if you're paying attention, you'll observe some of the brightest employees -- where their personal investments and risks aren't too high -- jumping ship soon after the scent of such a change begins wafting around.

It is, I think, not just about personal opportunity. It's about a low or zero tolerance for bullshit.
It's amazing to see how "off" those other designs look. It's almost as though the finalized design is the way the phone "should" be and every other design is a failure.

It seems like great design is really just a product of discovering how a product should naturally take shape, rather than dictating style. I think this is what separates Apple's product designs from everyone else.
> The big problem with the liberal arts is the subjectivity of grading.

I think you are doing it some disservice. Critically analyzing a piece of literature is similar to deconstruction a programming puzzle. It involves finding patterns & relations between characters and events. It involves summarizing and breaking your ideas in sections.

Even for something as ridiculously subjective as art, you can still have a formalized course. Ask students to set a goals or make a proposal of what they want to accomplish, then grade them on how well they accomplished that.

> Back in college I remember some of the humanities profs were known to be liberal and others were conservative.

In my American college (certainly a mediocre school, not a fancy shmancy Ivy League) I had most professors behave rationally. Even the super liberal feminist professors graded fairly those that wrote well research and well-thought out paper. So that is mostly about bad professors than it is necessarily about some fundamental flaw in the subjects.

On anther level I agree. There are too many students going into those fields expecting to eventually get jobs in that field. That will just not happen. I think someone needs to sit down and have a chat with them.
Why must I accept Foucault's terms at all? Probability theory does not require me to buy into some closed system of beliefs in order to justify itself. Only certain things like critical theory and some religions seem to require that...

I don't know why he mentions recommending to pure apple households. Surely if every computer (/phone/tablet) in your house is made by apple, you don't really care what anybody says about the competition.
But if you lie you have to tell the same exact lie to everyone or get caught up in it.

The writer Anais Nin kept track of which lies she had told to whom in a notebook. She had two husbands. It was complicated. Eventually she upgraded the notebook to a system of index cards in a file box.

Copying the text just incase FB decides they don't like it

Hey everyone, we're going to be deleting our Facebook page in the next couple of weeks, but we wanted to explain why before we do. A couple months ago, when we were preparing to launch the new Limited Run, we started to experiment with Facebook ads. Unfortunately, while testing their ad system, we noticed some very strange things. Facebook was charging us for clicks, yet we could only verify about 20% of them actually showing up on our site. At first, we thought it was our analytics service. We tried signing up for a handful of other big name companies, and still, we couldn't verify more than 15-20% of clicks. So we did what any good developers would do. We built our own analytic software. Here's what we found: on about 80% of the clicks Facebook was charging us for, JavaScript wasn't on. And if the person clicking the ad doesn't have JavaScript, it's very difficult for an analytics service to verify the click. What's important here is that in all of our years of experience, only about 1-2% of people coming to us have JavaScript disabled, not 80% like these clicks coming from Facebook. So we did what any good developers would do. We built a page logger. Any time a page was loaded, we'd keep track of it. You know what we found? The 80% of clicks we were paying for were from bots. That's correct. Bots were loading pages and driving up our advertising costs. So we tried contacting Facebook about this. Unfortunately, they wouldn't reply. Do we know who the bots belong too? No. Are we accusing Facebook of using bots to drive up advertising revenue. No. Is it strange? Yes. But let's move on, because who the bots belong to isn't provable.

While we were testing Facebook ads, we were also trying to get Facebook to let us change our name, because we're not Limited Pressing anymore. We contacted them on many occasions about this. Finally, we got a call from someone at Facebook. They said they would allow us to change our name. NICE! But only if we agreed to spend $2000 or more in advertising a month. That's correct. Facebook was holding our name hostage. So we did what any good hardcore kids would do. We cursed that piece of shit out! Damn we were so pissed. We still are. This is why we need to delete this page and move away from Facebook. They're scumbags and we just don't have the patience for scumbags.

Thanks to everyone who has supported this page and liked our posts. We really appreciate it. If you'd like to follow us on Twitter, where we don't get shaken down, you can do so here: http://twitter.com/limitedrun

Or they evaluated the competition and decided that, for right now, especially in the context of the other devices they already own from Apple (which tend to work well together), those purchases were likely the best for them.
You lose all your Likes.
I was thinking about it too... but then again why don't we hear the same complain from other advertisers?

An awesome (dark) vision of a world with augmented reality
If you're looking for just another mediocre / average corporate drone requiring a degree makes sense. The average person with a degree will outperform an average person without one. But if you're actually trying to hire top level talent a degree shouldn't matter. Someone who's passionate about what they do and intelligent will be able learn from experience and teach themself.
We tried to change the name of our page from "Hit Tennis 2" to "Hit Tennis". (After releasing Hit Tennis 3, we realized a per version FB page was silly.) We were asked to explain the change and it was denied (as I recall they said it could lead to user confusion). I thought that was a bit picky, but I understand the position of being careful of changing their likes our from underneath users. No mention of having to pay to get our name changed.
In my experience, emails from people like this turn into those "Are you sure you want to exit without saving?" pop-up dialogs: if I get them too often, I start ignoring all of them, including the important ones.
It might give an extra layer of protection if a browser actually bothered to ask the user if they wanted to enable the plugin if they didn't explicitly ask to install it themselves.

It's about breaking through the clutter & being contrarian.

By now, everyone has realized the value of A+ players and they tailor the job ads to those individuals -- the problem being, that anybody who is any good is already employed, has their choice of opportunities and is never browsing through the Stackoverflow job boards.
Ask HN: how do porn sites scale?
porn sites , they getting huge traffic , is there info bout how they scale in server / clients ?
can someone tell from inside the porn tech industry ?
Yes. This used to happen a lot on ad networks, although I personally don't know how pervasive it is now.

The game is as jiggy said. Force competing ad buyers to pay for what appears to be non-productive traffic by forcing ad clicks. Since the real views are dominated by false views, the conversion rate on whatever is being sold appears to be horrible. The competitor goes elsewhere, and the scammer maintains access to artificially cheap ad inventory, since there are fewer bidders.
Would a B.E. make the cut?
One of the highest truth/word comments I've read in a long time. The real issue with education in America is that everyone a) thinks it is someone else's problem and b) thinks if they just change x we will rocket to the top.
Your name becomes locked after 200 likes: https://www.facebook.com/help/?faq=271607792873806

For the username, everyone (including users) is allowed one name change.

Presumably, Facebook can bypass these seemingly arbitrary limitations, but will essentially charge you for the right to do so (by requiring you to have purchased a certain amount of advertising with them).
The products one consumes is the most visible, and easily acquired information about a person. Plus, the product marketers will be pushing product-as-status over community-as-status as hard as they can!

Why Facebook is a $7 stock
I agree with you that there's a lot of value in writing, literature, reading critically and all that. There's value in formal courses too.

On the other hand, school teaches bad lessons as well as good.
Happend to us too!! we first thought kissmetrics was wrong, so we built a logger that logged server side requests and a client side code that executes on load of the landing page, and we found that 70% of the server side hits had javascript disabled(or that hit the page and left it before the js executed, which seems improbable for such a large number - 70%).
You can only do so much in a limited span of time. Each person has to optimize for what they hold important.

Not going to college was the best thing that ever happened to my career. I got to spend my "college years" optimizing for business, which put me miles ahead of my peers who went to school. I now earn significantly more and get to work on more interesting projects (by my metric, at least) than my friends who even have PhDs in the field.

But that came with a cost. I missed out on a lot of non-career qualities by not having the college experience. I don't feel either direction is wrong, you just have to choose which is more important to you.

I ran through installing RVM yesterday on a new Mac and it wasn't a problem - 10.8, XCode 4.4, homebrew (okay, you have to install XCode CLI and Quartz separately), but it ran right through it. Then again, this is one combination that I know to work, I've definitely had it get byzantine with other versions of XCode in the past.
How Do You Become Memorable? By Being A Little Weird
Just curious, could it be a competitor and Facebook doesn't block them like google does for click fraud?
I don't know, the nexus is attracting a lot of apple users. I for one have only got apple devices in the house. The nexus 7 is the sole exception to this.
There's a lesson here for startup folks.

Years ago, people said renewables wouldn't ever amount to much. Sure, it's growing exponentially, but look at how small it is! And yes, costs keep going down but it will take forever before it's competitive with coal and nuclear.

Forever's come and gone. Oil and gas went up in price. Exponential growth generated a nice experience curve http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Experience_curve_effects

Now some critics and skeptics will go around saying no one could have predicted how quickly wind and solar took over. They'll say it was due to the rapid increase in oil prices (no one saw that coming either) or subsidies (German feed-in tariffs were very generous, though not as much as tax breaks for oil co's).

So the lesson: humans are really bad at forecasting the results exponential growth. If you can find one that people are ignoring and time it well, you can entrench yourself in a market before most people even realize it exists.
Q: So would you recommend the Nexus 7 overall?
A: For straight Apple households, probably not.

Haha, I'd say I'm in a pure Apple household (though I run a personal Ubuntu server... perhaps I'm disqualified). I'm still considering the Nexus 7 even with the iPad "mini" on the horizon. I think there's something to be said from having familiarity with the different devices/eco-systems (especially as a developer). The reviews are also hard to ignore.
The first map...really. Also 'the location of individual memories' haven't been pinpointed. This guy's in no position to be reporting articles on brain science.
The version of Chrome is superb and it's a pleasure to surf

I have to strongly disagree with all of the lauding about Chrome on Android.

Chrome on Android was terrible on my Galaxy S2. Chrome on Android was terrible on my Galaxy S3. In both cases perhaps because Samsung heavily optimized the basic, unbranded browser (full hardware acceleration, etc), but also because Chrome has some bizarre rendering behaviors (for instance it separately sizes text on sites like HN or Reddit).

So I got a Nexus 7. Pretty powerful device, and I was used to browsing full sites like The Verge and The Toronto Star with no issue. Load Chrome -- they removed the unbranded browser -- and it is atrocious. Huge, multisecond pauses on either of those sites (http://www.theverge.com and http://www.thestar.com - be sure to go to the full sites and not the gimped mobile version). Scrolling is a hilariously bad affair.

Note these observations online and am given the standard "oh no must be your unit, etc. etc." Only my second Nexus 7 was just arriving (from Google Play, while the former came from Staples, fwtw) -- exactly the same behavior.

I do not understand the expressions of love for Chrome on Android. Perhaps it's the chrome of the browser -- bookmark management, etc? I don't generally use that but instead simply punch in auto-completed URLs and browse sites, and there it is profoundly, catastrophically deficient.
Pretty surprised how much some of the prototypes look like phones released by other companies years later. Especially the one that looks like the Nokia Lumia 900. http://screencast.com/t/HH3IofCS

After that, it's unclear.
Which is really taking things too far - if Facebook wanted to generate some revenue with bots then it wouldn't be very difficult for them to write ones that supported JavaScript.
I am no expert but why would scaling be any different for porn site than any other high traffic growing site?
Not as dramatic, but I've fallen victim to that before. I was driving back late one night from Boulder to Denver and wanted to get to an address on Market St. I was tired, not very familiar with the area, and didn't realize at the time that Google Maps had chosen the address on Market St in San Francisco. It didn't click for me until I had gone a little ways into the mountains and reception on my phone cut out. Sigh...
You only hire people with degrees? I couldn't afford a degree, that's why I never got one, but have tons of experience. You still wouldn't consider hiring someone like me? Why?

This just seems like you're limiting yourself from hiring people that couldn't afford college, but that are still extraordinarily valuable to your company. Which is just wrong.
Works in Washington DC too.
Bots might be operated by competitors to increase the cost of advertising for Limited Pressing. This is the most likely scenario, in my opinion. However, though rather unlikely, the bots could be affiliated with Facebook itself, as all of those extra clicks translate into lots of extra Facebook revenue.

That doesn't seem like a very sustainable strategy though.

Does anyone know what kind (if any) of anti-bot measures Facebook already has in place for paid advertising?
This was a fear I had before posing the question. Isn't it funny that me asking a question would have a negative impact on my life in the future?
I agree that the science behind any analysis is what is important, and not the nationality of the researcher, nor the paternity of the researcher, nor the existence of money that the researcher may have had direct or indirect connections to.

The original article was focused on scientists having a pathway to corporate funds, and the original poster in this thread began what I can only see as a rant against scientists akin to creating a strawman, then burning in effigy.

My points were made to hopefully paint a "rebuttal" image that scientists may come to conclusions different than a prevailing crusade without being soul-less foreigners taking money so they can afford to eat other people's children.

As a minarchist, my environmental stance is confined by individual rights infringement; and that does not excuse air and water contamination. One's rights to dump crap in their water-table ends where my aquifer begins; and these types of laws do exist, if they are not being enforced, shame on the hooligans we elected and appointed.

I do not assume a broad conspiracy, if there is malfeasance, it is a non-confederacy of petty malfeasers.
The screen separation issue is a very widespread issue of the very first batch -- I got such an affected unit. It always seems to be the left or upper left, and clearly relates to the adhesive applicator. I have zero doubt that they've ironed out the issue, fixed the glue machine, and all is well now (it isn't a foundational or design problem. Simple manufacturing).
Yeah, I'm convinced it's setup to scam users and there's a lot of click fraud happening.

What's so special about this? I thought it was common knowledge that Google Talk was on Jabber/XMPP.
How / why did your boss have access to your resume? That's not something you should have on a company computer.
Yes, well the back pocket of my jeans.
We probably would have interviewed him if he had said "some knowledge of"...

But as everyone "knows", you just can't use weak language on your resume. And if it just so happens that you were let go of from your last job for some petty, grossly unfair reason, heavens, no one wants to hear the truth behind that!

So people face a lot of pressure to burnish things up, here and there. I'm not saying there absolved of responsibility, when they get caught at having fibbed. But there is something of a Catch-22 at play, here.
