End neo-colonialism and imperialistic power grabs by the US? Not so much Egypt (every country is different) but in the Middle East, it's far more political anger than it is religious anger - the religion is just a vessel.
>Do you really believe that anyone who is not exactly like you or do not believe exactly like you do should be killed?

What part of my post suggests anything of the sort? I said we are in a war against religious fundamentalism whether we like it or not, and we had damned well better win. Your attempts to cast it as some racist diatribe are at best misguided, at worst malign.
> I don't think there is anything wrong, per se, with wanting to be the very best at something.

Its probably obvious, but everyone wants to be the very best at something (or even everything?), even though of course its unrealistic, so most people disregard that desire almost immediately after thinking of it.

However, there are a minority that feel they can be, and when they realize they mightn't be, they cheat to do so, at the cost of others. And that's what i think is the real crux of the problem.
You cherry picked.

I like the youtube video.
I dont think the website looks dated, it is just minimal.

One thing I think you should focus on is getting Artists on there supporting you. You wont get any subscribers until you get the artists. Once you've got the artists producing media - you can use their fan base to grow membership.

I would never subscribe to this service unless there was an artist I cared about using it. I would suggest a strong marketing campaign focussed on winning some Artists. I have known bands with tiny but dedicated followings - those are your paying subscribers.

Best of luck!
I've been reading the threads and one of them said something about there being no graves because the person was cremated.
> ours must win

Yes that's exactly what religious extremists, you are so violently vocal against, say about western culture. This saddens me, I so wish I had the power to downvote.

>We will not win this battle with diplomacy; our enemy has no desire for it. We must stamp out the medieval death cults that threaten us, and this will require force

So you are using the death of Vile Rat, a person who believes in diplomacy more than strong-arming, to promote your own (and forgive me for being judgemental) twisted ideology. Don't you think that sounds a little too similar to religious nutbags who often twist religious saying to promote genocides, suicide bombings and wars.

I just hope that you were being sarcastic about how extremists act, I will give you an upvote for that.
Go has some selected generic data types: array, slice (think of ArrayList<T>), map, channel, func. I found these to be sufficient for 90% of my problems. In 9% of the cases I craft non-generic data structures based on interfaces, which are specific to my problem domain. For the rest I can live with interface{}.
Really cool! New startup idea: create a trading algorithm that acts as a market maker of reserved instances. You should probably be able to price the reserved instances pretty much like bonds, if you compare it to the on-demand instances. You lock your money for a while but you get some yield in return.

I love the concept of the website and the design. However I did find the word "Track" a bit confusing on your title. When I first read the title I imagined a task/calendar type web application.

Except doesn't Ubuntu entirely break this by putting packaged files in /usr/local? I've always use /opt for this purpose.

Then there's stow, which just works nicely.

To be honest, using the Arch Build System and quickly building my own packages beats all of this.
I wish they would allow sellers to receive the funds as AWS-credits as well. Creating a US bank account just for this will be too much of a hassle for many non-US companies.
The debate you touched on is Ancient. It is complicated, nuanced, and difficult. It is also extremely charged, and polarizing.

Your statement was akin to bringing tinder to a powder house.

In a way, it is its own worthy lesson.
I take issue with how this article represents Lance Armstrong's doping as a fact. He never tested positive. From what I understand, someone just testified that they saw him shooting up with something. Who knows what Lance and his team really did or did not do. The US Anti-Doping Agency was out to get him, and from what I understand, the burden of proof is so low that they can get anyone they want.

I also do not understand how the affordability of top doping experts is any different than affordability of top coaches and nutritionists. The author claims that only the top 25% can actually compete legitimately since top doping specialists cost a lot. Top coaches likely do also.

I think these two points weaken the authors points tremendously, when I somewhat agree with is point. He just needs better examples.
It's a bit more complicated than that -- RIs are bonds with unknown future payouts (since the hourly prices drop from time to time) and a very high transaction cost (AWS takes a 12% cut each time an RI is sold).
I used the role-attribute as sub-styling for a parent class!

Example:

.desc // Parent class

.desc[role="top-left"] // Sub styling for parent

.desc[role="top-right"] // Sub styling for parent

But there is no specific rule to do it like this! I just don't want so many classes.
This is so 'Amazon'. (There's a little hint of Enron, too... but the shard of Enron that made economic sense, markets for expiring capacity.)
Will you guys do motorcycles? If so, between you guys and Instacart, I'll be living like a Persian prince.
Not to mention that if your bank has a fee for receiving wire payments, selling micro instances is pretty much pointless.
Sure, but you could perhaps model that as some form of default risk. Real bonds also have a risk of not returning the yield they're supposed to return (just look at Greece). Also, if they add support for getting paid in AWS-credits, I'm sure they'd be able to lower the transaction-fee.
Theres something missing from this all.

(12:54:09 PM) vile_rat: assuming we don't die tonight. We saw one of our 'police' that guard the compound taking pictures

This is Sept 11, 2012.

This (http://www.aljazeera.com/news/middleeast/2012/09/20129112108...) article updated at 7:02(GMT?) reports the death. The video in that story was uploaded to youtube by Al Jazzera 9 hours ago which would be midnight Bengazhi time (EET) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bcm_Ss0ExZg.

So at some point roughly after 00:00 EET when the Al Jazeera footage was shot, where we see what is described as 1500 protesters and thousands of riot police, and 7:00 EET an American IT worker is shot and killed in a consulate.

I don't see who gains from staging protests on a sensitive day and letting an American get killed. Of all the people who would be at a consulate the IT guy happens to be the unlucky one. I don't think this was a 'normal' protest.
I m not sure that cheating "is the way to go" - you are right in the sense that there is no such a thing as cheating in nature.

But this very reason is why humans had to have civilization - otherwise, the lives of each individual would be brutal and paranoid. To me, cheating is like achieving a local maxima, whilst full cooperation, when cheating would give an individual a slightly better pay off at the cost of the whole, is achieving a global maxima.
I don't believe Ubuntu does that. Can you provide some verifiable examples?

Desist. This will only generate a further flame war.

Restraint and control of your emotions, and control over your ability to incite the emotions of others is the more fitting action to pay tribute to his death.

He died precisely because someone privileged emotions over logic. Your actions and speech is in exactly the same vein.

On a logical level - these comments add little to the discussion.

They condone the asking of vague and undefined questions to subjects which are vastly nuanced, and complex.

They generate further simplistic answers from people creating knee jerk reactions to your comments.
So how would you propose measuring "contributing to the success of the adopters" ? It seems that there is no way to either prove or disprove the statement hence any statement about the "success" of a language could be claimed as valid/true.
Nice, just too bad it forces you to be on AppEngine, which has some very controversial pricing model...
>Yes that's exactly what religious extremists, you are so violently vocal against, say about western culture.

Yes, they do. They believe that their fundamentalist beliefs must triumph over liberal democracy, and they're willing to blow people up in order to see that happen. We have no choice but to respond to this.

>This saddens me

Me, too. That doesn't change anything, though.

>So you are using the death of Vile Rat, a person who believes in diplomacy more than strong-arming, to promote your own (and forgive me for being judgemental) twisted ideology.

I'm using yet another instance of religious extremists committing murder because they didn't like what someone said to highlight the fact that we cannot continue to act as though our cultures are compatible.

>Don't you think that sounds a little too similar to religious nutbags who often twist religious saying to promote genocides, suicide bombings and wars.

Not at all. I abhor the first two, and simply recognize that when war comes to you, you had best be willing to fight or surrender.
I use /opt/ld/{bin,sbin, ...} myself, on the grounds that it's short, yet just confusing enough to be unattractive to future filesystem standardizers. By sheer coincidence, it's now a backronym[1].

Thanks! I didn't know there was such a thing as $MANPATH!

But, I don't think it's necessary. I don't have `/usr/local/share/man` in my $MANPATH (I don't have a $MANPATH at all, as a matter of fact), yet `man sl` works (and by running `sudo opensnoop` in another shell process I verified that groff indeed pulled the data from `/usr/local/share/man/man1/sl.1`)

(OS X 10.8.1)
With /usr/local, though, you still have to use `sudo` - unless you're crazy and chown or chmod it appropriately. I've been a longtime advocate for $HOME/.local, which is (a) obviously writable by you, (b) on your home partition, so it's backed up with all of your data, and (c) a common enough standard (see the XDG Base Directory Spec) that it's generally easy enough to get applications to use it. Just add $HOME/.local/bin to your $PATH and you're good to go.
Why are you encouraging debate on a comment which is irrelevant to the thread topic?
But how does the company recruiting you know that you are actually doing the work, and not having someone else do it.

The purpose of data structures and algorithms questions is to demonstrate some abstract thinking and coding ability in a short space of time - if you can do that you can probably code in whatever language / framework they use.

Brainteaser questions on the other hand, those are worthless.
My point is what are your values?

Democratic due process?
Tell that to the Palestinians when they voted for Hamas in a free and fair election only to be shunned.

Freedom of speech?
Tell that to the numerous people arrested and imprisoned around the world under sedition/hate speech because they talk about Jihad or defending their countries.

Freedom?
America has the biggest imprisoned population in the world. Assuming you are American. Freedom is a cliche term thrown around with such little weight that it pains me to tears.

Who was it that shot down a civilian airliner but never apologised? Which countries invaded the middle east? Which countries colonised and looted most of what is now the third world. Which country kills journalists and bombs news broadcasting stations? Which countries bombed a environmental protest ship, killed crew and never apologised, yet in the same breath has the audacity to talk about a liberté, égalité and fraternité.

I mean your narrow, one sided, hypocritical and arrogant opinion is directly why some people get so angry. Consider the fact that all the things I mentioned before were performed by governments, not unruly mobs in anarchic post revolutionary states. Who is truly barbaric?
> Specify the /usr/local Prefix in Scripts

> When writing scripts, specify the full path to the executable you’ve installed in the first line of the script.

No. Don't do that. Bad. Even for maintenance and admin scripts, that makes them severely less portable and harder to keep in sync across machines for various reasons. Your path is setup correctly, just use that: there are very few reasons for your shebang lines to be anything other than:

#!/usr/bin/env $executable "$options"

This will make the shebang work using the normal rules of path-resolution, and means path-override tools and methods (e.g. python virtual environments, or `PATH=$somedirectory ./script`) will work correctly.

edit: I am told not all versions of shebang/`env` support passing options to the $executable, and most notably it doesn't work on Linux. So don't do that, and i won't in the future. Still, $executable is usually sufficient

I think the main point of this article is that to be a good entrepreneur we have to solve real world's problem with our product so people will use it. Our type of business doesn't really matter here. We can build a successful web startup if our web actually solving real world's problem. E.g. people use google and wikipedia because it solve their problem.
I guessed. IT was written in the vein of a troll bait post I could easily see someone from GF/SA come up with.

The use of 'contractors' is interesting (following on from Exec, iCracked, TaskRabbit etc.) Perhaps this is the future of employment - providing more flexibility to both the firm and the individual?

As well as this the mobility of the contractors is really fascinating. The internet has really started to disrupt the need for retail-service premises; think of print shops (Printing.com), computer repairers (iCracked), florists (1-800 Flowers), real estate agencies (Redfin), education (ie TutorSpree). Interesting to see what verticals remain untapped.

I wonder the implications of completely opening up these sort of platforms entirely - ie allowing 'anyone' to complete a car repair job. [Obviously in the case of YourMechanic there are warranty implications :P]
Go read 'Violence and the Sacred' - there is a deep link between violence and religion - but religion is not the origin of the other.
Just read European newspapers and the justifications of politicians in Europe when they want to implement some unpopular policy.

Its not uncommon that a political party introduces a policy first on the EU level (say, in the Commission) and then complain about it later that the "EU forces them" to implement it on a national level (even though it was that same party that promoted it in Europe). Its the easiest way for politicians to blame unpopular but necessary policies on somebody else.
I still wish this wasn't all that hard-coded. A plethora of prefixes, the whole "/usr" directory from the start (which used to be "/home" back in the days), compiling software to depend on variant paths, huge PATH variables and the hassle to define them in the proper place, application data all strewn about etc.

Yes, there's stow/homebrew like deployment with app-specific directories and linking to solve some of these problems…

But I really wish union mounts would be more common, both global and on a per-process basis. Thus you'd just have a /bin directory and just put everything in there, no matter on what partition or under which "real" directory it actually is.

Apparently most modern Linux distros cannot boot anymore without /usr. Therefore people suggest to link /bin to /usr/bin etc. /usr/local still has its place, though.

+1.

At a previous job, I spent hours rebuilding a ruby gem where someone had carelessly hard-coded "#!/usr/local/bin/ruby" into all of their executables.

Even if it looks like it works, don't do it! Stick to "#!/usr/bin/env ruby" for maximum compatibility, please.
Studies have shown the two to have the same effectiveness rate at treating depression, around 50%.

It turns out it is actually healthy to pass the blame. I'd suggest reading one of Seligman's other books, Learned Optimism, for more, but in studies of people in high-pressure situations (freshman year at Army, cold call insurance salesman at MetLife, etc), the most successful people are the ones who externalize (blame others for) negative events and internalize (credit themselves for) positive events. It may not be an accurate view of the world, but then again, depressed people score higher on assessing the world accurately than non-depressed people, so it's not clear seeing the world accurately is that helpful.

When bad things happen to me I make a concerted effort to blame other people or one-off events ("the company I was interviewing at went through a reorganization or promoted an internal person/it was just bad luck they asked about the same origin policy/whatever"), and when good things happen to me I credit myself ("I got the job because I'm smart, I work hard, and people like being around me.") When I say it like that it sounds a little silly, but so is not making moves in your career or your personal life that clearly make sense, because you don't think you're good enough.

Like anything, CBT takes practice. Eventually you want to get to the point where you do the recognition and disputation automatically, like tying your shoes or typing the letter 'e'.

Launch is just a start. Remember the golden saying of Reid Hoffman - "if you are not embarrassed by the first version of your product, you've launched too late."

So you have crossed one of the greatest hurdles - that is launch. Rest is bit easy now.

1. You need to focus on marketing now. It starts from your site.

2. Try to get some of your friends to signup. Analyse deeply what are the actions they are doing versus what you have expected them to do.

3. Focus on that one thing which you think is the highlight of your product. Tweak it, re-tweak it until it really stands apart from all your other offerings.

4. Go to local events, try to showcase it to any crowd you can get your hands on.

5. If you have a little budget, try to do content marketing. Try educating people in your niche what are the problems they are facing. You can start doing that on your company blog or other blogs on your niche.

Be your strongest critic, and you will continuously evolve.

Actually, he has tested positive. On multiple occasions. There was a urine test he failed in 1999 that he got out of with a backdated prescription. More controversially, it has been alleged that he failed an EPO test in 2001 that Hein Verbrugghen (then head of the UCI) made disappear. Coincidentally, Armstrong donated $125,000 to the UCI at this time. Also, 1999 TdF samples of his have recently tested positive to EPO (they didn't have an EPO test back then), but those positives didn't count because the testing was done for research purposes.

It's rather cynical, but http://cavalierfc.tumblr.com/post/30172302298/its-not-about-... is worth a look.
Your question is the genesis of a flame war, as you have already realized.

It assumes/implies that there is a set of roots to "evil".

Take a uniform/symmetric orderly system with rational actors. Now introduce random events to the system.

This will immediately create asymmetric results which are unevenly distribute load or resources to different actor/parts of the system.

This is with a uniform system. Ignoring things like control structures, monopolies, and rational actors or any level of complexities from real life.
Its better to give away for free than undercharge. Why dont you give 30 or 60 days free trial instead.

Give away discount coupons on sites like appsumo. But undercharging might set you back. I think pricing should be based on value pricing.

Or tackle things like adults. I come from India, I know wars do not solve problems. War based on culture and religion, never still. Your reaction will only bring more devastation to those who are not involved in these actions. Most of us non-westerners do not care what you say about our God(s) unless and until you are saying it just so as to be disrespectful. And even then, a unbelievably vast majority of us will probably only choose to withdraw our economic/political/social support that we would have otherwise entrusted you with. Killing is NOT our thing. And please don't go point out some article in a magazine showing how backward we are in terms of social equality; because we know we do and we don't want your intervention on it. Our governments are acting on it and the newer generations are all for equality. We are also less religious, just so that you know. So the war that you are throwing on the rest of us, we don't want to be part of it. We don't deserve to be a part of it.

And I don't get it, how will a war solve anything. Is there going to a genocide where you kill all those who don't agree to you western culture and ideologies or just our leaders - cultural and political? May be you will start with embassies that represent our sovereign on your soil for you probably see them while going on work and they remind you of how incompatible we are to your culture.

Ya, this is pretty much useless for people with 1-2 instances. It simply isn't worth the hassle. That said, if there is a way to donate reserved capacity for open source projects without any hassle, it will be more useful.
