I don't see myself with the two-home lifestyle. I have enough issues with multiple computers. Maybe this will change, but I see the house as a home, a place to abide. (Which, incidentally, realigns priorities for debts and expectations: the home isn't an asset, it's not for sale :-) ).
Funny thing I even believed in it. After having failed the last interview I looked around and realized that there are many companies that do things that I consider more interesting than what Google does.
I couldn't disagree more with this appeasing attitude. Companies have known to cut interview short when they realize the candidate is not a good fit, in the guise of not wasting everyone's time. Why can't the interviewee reciprocate when s/he has found out it's not a good fit?

Why make false lying pleasantries when honest feedback is more helpful? Even if you have blocked off the day for the interview, it would still save time on the company's part to not continue the interview.
Thank you for your feedback. Yes, the main idea is that price reviews a "bound" to physical locations so of course it doesn't make sense if the good are sold online. And very good catch about the "Best deals" option (although the term "best" might have a different meaning to different people).

I believe that this service will be extremely helpful for people who are travelling. Imagine a situation: you come to a new country, you don't really know that's the average bill in restaurant in the city center, how much the tour guide to that castle costs, etc. This kind of information might be hard to find online (actually, this is when I come up with the idea - when I was planning a trip to Czech Republic and simply couldn't figure out how much money do I need to take with me). You just fire up "PriceFlurry" app and get the _sense_ (that's important, reviews are recommendations rather than something you can trust 99%) of how much the staff costs.

Again, thanks for your comments.
Facebook saves your old passwords
It's the same as someone sending my password in plaintext. It's a trust issue and a miserable first impression with something as complex as trusts.
In general, Flask extensions are written very smartly that you can couple/de-couple with your core Flask app. Personally, They go through a rigorous process of getting approved by the Flask team before they officially become flask extensions. I have used Flask-login which is very good for basic session management. I also like Flask-SQLAlchemy, Flask-WTF for ORM and forms. So in general, some are pretty good but cannot say for every flask extension.

Overall, to create a web app as beginner, Flask is definitely recommended by me. I built a User Management app using Flask recently (registration,auth etc.) within 8-10 hours of coding.
He paid for wifi services for his computer for the duration of the flight. The fact that you do not recognize the legitimacy of a commercial offering does not give you the right to invent your own terms; you take the terms as offered, or you don't do business at all.
The only question you really have to ask here is, "am I tricking a business into offering me something with a dollar value without paying for it?" Yes? That's fraud. It's the definition of fraud.

He did pay. The question now is, is this something roughly akin to switching price stickers on merchandise in a store. Since there's no specific requirement that a browser return an "accurate" UA string (whatever "accurate" even means for a UA string), this is closer to a company putting out a bucket with a sign saying "Honor System: suggested donation: $7.95 for phones, $15.95 for computers" and having somebody throw in $7.95 while using a computer. Not noble, but hardly something they should be punished for.
Aren't they hustling you for $10-16 for a few hours of internet access? There is no marginal cost difference between a phone and a tablet or laptop, and that marginal cost is likely VERY low relative to the asking price to begin with.

This is preying on the notion that you "should" have to pay more for a laptop vs a phone access because that's what people have been conditioned to accept from their wireless carrier.

What is your reasoning there? Remember, we're not talking about the overall fraud case, just the answer to this question.
Then keep solar time as a timezone and switch into that mode when you really need solar accuracy. This is a rather extreme edge case.

And actually, it can easily, very easily, be done by hand, even if we stopped adding leap seconds to UTC. Just keep a log of leap seconds and then apply them to your UTC clock.

Sticking to celestial bodies for time seems pointlessly complicated to satisfy a few edge cases that can be handled in better ways.

I think this new 'Google+ for business' is only available to paying Google apps members, it seems.

However, Google apps members can already use Google hangouts, can setup circles for internal sharing, and so its mostly the convenience of the defaults etc. that are new value. I wonder how much Google plan to charge for that.
Counter example: My Mac App Store App (MiniTune) update took 9 days to get in to review and three hours to review two weeks ago. They did take three weeks for the previous release, about 6 months ago.

It's a simple app though.
Actually the perspective of languages like objective C and Python about variable privacy or accessibility is pretty flexible.
Freelance marketing that has worked for me.
He paid for product "A" and used product "B", and then wrote about the sticker price difference between "A" and "B" on a public website. Again: this is the definition of fraud. Your point is just that it's a small fraud.

To the extent that the insignificance of this fraud will preclude it from becoming a federal case, I agree.

In general: don't lie to people to win deals for yourself. At all.
Awesome thanks. In retrospect would you have gone the registered agent route? Do you have a recommendation for an accountant? I don't have one, just moved to NYC. Also what would they charge to answer a question like this (understand you may not be able to answer the $ part)
As an example, tech journalist Andy Ihnatko is also an avid writer of fiction in his spare time, most of which he has yet to publish. This doesn't resemble his professional output at all, which are articles that get published in a newspaper.

I think the point is that when you're doing something you love, you want to keep doing it outside the constraints that exist when someone else is dictating the type of creative work you can do.

Already paid for it with my licence fee. I'll do what I want.
UA strings aren't bound to any legal requirements, as far as I know. So how is it fraud if one party has no reasonable expectation of any particular representation of the situation in the first place?
Thank you very much. Actually I think the whole category selector is a bit hard to use, gonna fix it in the next update (according to your comments and what I already planned).
He received what he paid for: wifi services for that flight.

I still don't see fraud here.
So what if I paid for it and used my USB tether?

Am I committing fraud? Violating the TOS maybe? Both?
AR makes sense when it solves a problem. That problem, whatever it is, is not one that most people currently have.

Fundamentally, the gap between AR and the use to which people primarily put mobile devices is that AR doesn't address social communication between people in a way that adds value, e.g. it doesn't add to conversations with people I know, enhance my Facebook experience, or let me know what my family plans for dinner.

In a sense, AR content is a cul de sac in that in being location specific, there is some incoherence in notions which map it onto the web or other networks...e.g. virtual cannons make sense at the stone wall in Gettysburg and on the bluffs at Vicksburg, but linking them within a single AR experience makes no sense.
I realize that my intended meaning was weaker than my wording. I meant that surely there are others that this should apply to. That is, surely researchers are not unique. But I don't mean that it should apply to everyone.

Is this a serious question, or just snark? Ember.js does not ship with a default stylesheet—it's up to you to style. It just generates plain HTML.
Sorry, didn't mean to get your knickers in a twist, I was only being tongue-in-cheek.
You do realize that, in the vast majority of all interviews, regardless of industry, the interviewee went to the company and asked for a job? They're hardly in a position where that kind of criticism is warranted, especially as an outsider who wants to be hired.
Lipitor was most likely discovered by screening a library of billions of compounds for ones with some bioactivity. Then, by putting these compounds through more refined screenings, they have a bunch of candidate compounds. Then, these candidate compounds go through many, very expensive rounds of clinical testing to establish safety and efficacy. In the process, the structure of the molecule undergoes many tweaks, again, which are often not 'rationally designed', but tried en masse and screened for activity/metabolism.

The Lipitor patent is, in fact, exactly the opposite of what you're trying to convey here. There is zero 'idea' behind Lipitor, just massive amounts of screening.
definitely. Also it is very important to talk to a good accountant who handles your specific cases. When I incorporated intially, I used an accountant who even though helped with the paperwork, did not advise the right structure etc. for business based on my individual case.
I believe that any reasonable person viewing those offerings would understand that the cheaper price was for phone Internet, and the more expensive price was for computer Internet. I also believe that the author of this post made it completely clear that they were getting one over on the ISP, which does not at all help their case.

That's about as far as I'd like to go with this particular branch of the discussion, if that's OK with you.
You can use "model" to mean an example to follow. For example, "37 signals was the model for my software business" or "she was a model employee."

At many of the top colleges and universities in the US, the institution is able to meet 100% of the "demonstrated financial need" of the family. At several schools, all of the provided financial aid comes in the form of grants, which is basically free money.

At all of these schools, while the tuition price tag might be $50,000 per year or more, relatively few families actually have to pay this sticker price. At my alma mater, Bowdoin, the overall cost is around $54k, but the average financial aid package (according to the College Board) is $41k, leaving the average Bowdoin student on the hook for only $13k a year.

If you're a family that otherwise would qualify for a large amount of financial aid, but you've saved up into a trust or other savings plan for the purpose of funding your child's education, you'll lose this free money. The institution will count this amount against your demonstrated financial need.

Some families with means are able to hide away these funds, and still get significant financial aid from a school like Bowdoin, but most families don't have the resources or savvy to do so.

Of course, if we're talking about institutions that don't have such strong financial aid programs – which is the vast majority – you probably want that savings. Deciding to save for your child's education is, statistically, usually a good decision. If your child ends up going to one of the above, though, it can be a costly one.
I have to admit this company has balls for calling Facebook on this issue and then deleting their Facebook page in response to Facebook refusing to give a shit about the little guys.

From one little guy to another, you guys rock. I wish you all the luck.
Everybody's talking about burning bridges but it's a bad analogy. Bridges like these won't always catch fire even if torched and then again some burst into flames even if you didn't even touch your matches. The guy in the question seems to have just walked on the bridge.

Sounds like the guy just spoke directly. Some people can't take that; I don't know how much more neutrally you can give the message "I'm done with the interview" than saying pretty much just that. If you want to sugarcoat it then doing so still won't change the message: it just makes it a slightly more difficult for others to express how badly they take it.

I don't know the exact words used in the situation but he seemed polite yet firm. I would expect such language from anyone who's used to not waste people's time, including his own. While he doesn't want to be rude, he also can't control what can be considered rude by others.

There's no question whether such behaviour is allowed: of course the guy can just go and decide to abort the day. Nobody lost anything there: no money, no time. If he has seen life at all, he must have already learned that no matter what you do you will piss off somebody anyway so it's best to not anticipate too much what others will think of you.
Obviously your test case is insufficient.

Yes, it is. The point is that even given many additional test cases of the same type, they will remain insufficient, unless of course you’re planning to test the entire input domain, which I imagine is going to take you a while.

Clearly at some stage you have to replace satisfying isolated cases with some form of generalised understanding. At that stage, you’re no longer coding to the tests.

This is not to say that unit tests can’t be useful. On the contrary, I find them a valuable tool for many programming jobs.

However, as I have observed before, the plural of “unit test” is not “proof”. I do find it frustrating when I see overconfidence instilled in too many developers just because they have a suite of unit tests available. Using TDD can’t magically guarantee that a program actually satisfies all of its requirements. Refactoring without thinking isn’t magically safe as long as the code still passes the test suite. Writing code to the test is not a substitute for understanding the problem you’re trying to solve and how your solution works.

My reading: he purchased authorization to use the system from a phone. He instead used the system from a computer, without authorization for doing that.

Whether or not Gogo should price discriminate like that, it seems clear that they want more money in exchange for authorizing use from a laptop.
No matter how much pre-processing happens server-side in Silk, won't the bottleneck always be network speed? At least until the whole world is on Gbit.
> but sometimes I just have to wait.

Not to sound like the whiny whipper-snapper I am, but why do we have to wait? If there were a technical reason for it, that would be one thing, but I have not been convinced that arbitrary restrictions are a good thing.

The one-week delay to keep it in a similar time slot (e.g. Saturday night) makes sense, but not the months that often lapse between shows being aired in different countries. Even if there's re-editing that needs to happen (especially for season N of a show that will be re-aired abroad), why not invest the time/money before the initial release to make sure that it's ready to go in short order after the original, rather than sacrifice market share to the pirates?

I think personal email is far worse, particularly because it is not visible to people who start at the company after the conversation starts.

Mailing lists are pretty good, but generally companies don't have good tools to quickly make impromptu mailing lists.

And I think you're not giving enough attention to the fact that things shared on Google+ can show up in your search results.

If you work at a Zoo, and you search for "python," it'd be great to see relevant links about the animal. If you're a programmer, it'd be great to see relevant links about the programming language.
The last sentence of this article has an obvious typo - it says "...the company argues that they don’t add enough value for its users." That sentence only makes sense if you replace "users" with "Twitter's bank account."

He is missing one point: Even if Samsungs marketshare drops, there is a whole army of other manufacturers with Android phones.
Unlike Sony vs MS vs Nintendo this is Apple vs MS/Nokia vs Samsung+Motorola+HTC+LG+Huawei+Sharp+Dell+Asus+Acer+many others. Ok, HTC will most likely produce a WindowsPhone as well.

Another point: Android is "free" for the carriers and manufacturers.

That's a big difference.
I started doing this when my last job offered free spiral bound notebooks. For a couple of years I've kept an intermittent traditional journal, but I've found many were too cumbersome for my hands or my writing. The spiral bounds have the advantage of cleanly flattening out when open and going from one page to the next. The page size suited me for both long form writing as well as enough space to draw out visual diagrams. They also help when I start up the next day, as I know what I was thinking from the day before.

I kept written notebooks for several years now. These contain anything including scratch paper, programming logs, long form writing, and ideas. I use standard spiral bound notebooks that always go on sale this time of year for a buck. They are reasonably well made and stand up to the abuses that I throw at them. Right now I am carrying three of these with me along with my laptop. My current notebook has four website ideas, one story idea, one game idea, and nearly two dozen short essays.

At the top of the page, I generally give a title to what I'm doing. I have some common labels, like what the project is or the title of a short essay. Right now I don't have a way to organize it, so I'm usually flipping to find what I'm looking for. Sometimes I become distracted by reading about something else I wrote months before, and it would inspire a new essay or idea.

I'm currently trying out some ways to digitize my old journals so I can put my old notebooks in long term storage and not disturb them. If anybody has some suggestions, I'm open :)
I think that analogy is flawed because the airline can only sell that seat once. If you used that hack, then you would be removing the chance that the airline could sell that seat for the full price. That doesn't apply to the wifi situation.
Seems to me like it works if implemented correctly, and that corruption and poor implementation are the root causes.

The notion that providing essential services and goods like education, healthcare, and food somehow weakens a society or an economy needs to be squashed so that our global society can focus on how to accomplish those basic tasks.

HTML5

CSS3/LESS

Twitter Bootstrap/Bootswatch SwatchMaker (I prefer using this instead of rolling my own)

Javascript, jQuery, bootstrap js plugins and angular.js(for web apps needing heavy javascript work)

Here is my typical workflow :

1. UX Design : sketches using paper/pencil

2. Think/Decide about color scheme and UI design. Get a basic image of what I want in my mind and note down colors. I use services like Adobe Kuler/ 0to255.com for color selection.

3. Make a fresh copy a project template folder + git-fy it. It is basically a collection of usually needed libraries like jQuery/BootStrap and blank starter files.

4. Quickly convert sketches to html using default bootstrap theme, jquery, jquery plugins, angular.js etc. In this stage focus is on implementing UX and not on how site looks. I don't touch photoshop/illustrator unless I feel the need to design custom logo/icons/backgrounds

5. Create custom css3/less code that override bootstrap css for custom look & feel. If heavy modification is needed I use bootswatch swatchmaker to create custom bootstrap skins.

6. Test UI in various combinations of browsers/devices/os/resolution and test how it looks with JS disabled.

7. Rinse and Repeat as needed.
I glanced at the first two screenshots before I read the article and thought he was just going to create a wifi hotspot off his phone... that way he could get internet on both devices for the mobile price.
Those are implementations details, to the developer they serve a similar purpose. This is my problem with it, a web framework that gives equal weight to M, V, and C is missing the point; in the client the View is fucking everything. It is where any developer will spend the vast majority of their time; not in code organization. The frameworks and I mean this plurally, that win will be those that give structure to applications. Here's how the Android SDK provides structure to applications: http://developer.android.com/design/patterns/app-structure.h.... Web frameworks need the same thing. They should ship with HTML, JS, and CSS.
I don't think you have to overcome the lobbying of IP holders, as they're also hurt by too many patents.

The tech industry just needs to agree that we'd all be better off with a truce, and lobby to change the laws. Personally, I'd like to see no patents for software and business methods.
I feel like copyright has spawned an entire generation that feels even more entitled than the pirates. Our copyrights are an allowance from society because people feel it is to their benefit to do us a small favor. They are not handed down to me from the Almighty because I'm so awesome for having banged together a Ruby stick and a C stick.

If we want to talk about natural rights, demanding that somebody not view my work until a week later than somebody else just because I feel like making them wait is some of the most absurd entitlement I've ever heard of. Can you imagine a painter standing outside an art gallery stopping Australians from entering? What would you think of that guy?

(This isn't meant as a "Up wit da piratez" screed or whatever. I'm just saying, the more control we exert through our copyrights, the less right I feel we have to call anybody else entitled, because the things we can force people to do through copyright are just ridiculously audacious from a perspective of natural rights.)
Having been on both sides of interviewing, one thing I see is that the interview process can be a very intense power play. The interviewers are usually on a power trip judging and deciding someone's fate. When the interviewees not playing along like walking out or even declined an offer, the interviewers are really surprised and upset. It's a direct attack on their power position.
Wellllll, it would be reasonable to expect that 99.99% of people wouldn't change their UA.
Let me tell you why I don't care about Ember.js at the moment:

It's an "all or nothing"-solution. I couldn't care less about Stateful Single-Page Applications. I'll take a stateless, curlable, crawlable (remember Google?), old-style web site any time. Of course, some parts might require more dynamicness than other, and in that case it's lovely to jump to client side MVC. But it doesn't seem that Ember.js wants to play this game. Every time I look at Ember it seems that it wants to define the architecture of my application. Thank you very much, I like my stateless-ness very much!
