Chicago has a mix of residential and commercial as well; additionally, like NYC, Chicago has a couple very large universities that create multi-block clusters of student housing as well. We also have one of the country's better neighborhood "systems" (for lack of a better word).

However, I'm not sure that I remember from my time in San Francisco that housing and offices were all that separate. I lived in SOMA for a couple years, and Noe Valley for a couple more; in SOMA, I was just a few blocks walking distance from Market & 4th-3rd. San Francisco is so small that maybe the cluster of dense offices is just a function of land scarcity.
I agree, the language is ambiguous as to what defines a "chip", but I assume given the context of the sentence and the technology that it is meant to be read as: the only manual layout of an ARM core to hit the market in several years.

Even then "several years" is unspecific, and could mean practically anything from the iPhone classic release era (which is basically ancient history by smartphone technology years at this point) to the (not that old) iPhone 4 release era.
You could accomplish a lot of this with a Chrome extension that operates on your gmail window. Heck, it could even listen for login emails and open the tab automatically when they arrive.

How would you use an accurate Natural Language Understanding (NLU) API?
This is absolutely the only way such a feature could be sanely realized, and it would require so many invasive changes it is absurd.

Off the top of my head you would need to patch glibc, all the major shells, probably half of coreutils, anything that daemonizes similar to nohup (including screen and tmux, god knows how many CPAN modules), ...
That "experiment" tested whether excessive blowing damages a working cartridge, not whether target blowing fixes a damaged cartridge.

> Users can take their content and relationships with them when they change or move servers.

How does it work when users seem to be identified by the url (which, at least now, is in the provider's domain)?
Yeah, but I'm thinking having the current W3C APIs.
WebDAV [0]

If Microsoft every had of built a decent client into Windows Explorer like MacOSX has (rather than the crufty, half baked one they ran with) then it could have been great. As it turns out, it is only really easy to access it through FTP-like programs (separate from Windows Explorer).

Having said that, we had pretty good experiences with WebDrive [1] allowing us to mount WebDAV directories in Windows. Also, Gnome does a pretty good job on Linux with GVFS [2].

Telegraph Hill is a bit of a hike from downtown, isn't it?

It's tough to get a shared metric here; San Francisco is small to start with, and "downtown" San Francisco is even smaller.
I'd say they're not wrong as much as just not addressing that particular complaint.
How do users behind NAT run their own tent servers? If they can manage to run their own HTTPS servers from behind NAT, if they have those skills (not to mention a reachable IP), then why do they need tent? Couldn't they just host all their content on their own server? I can see tent as providing some sort of coordination of user data hosted on different servers, but I'm not seeing how tent enables users to host their own content and have full control over it. Maybe that's not the goal?

Correct me if I'm wrong but what this tent idea seems to lead to is a proliferation of tent service providers, not independent users running tent servers behind consumer ISP accounts. If that's true, then how can we be sure these service providers will not adopt the same sort of annoying monetization strategies of providers like Facebook and Twitter?

By no means am I suggesting tent could not be useful. I just want some clarification of what problem they are trying to solve. (There is no shortage of problems to choose from. :)
Happens in the UK, too. Libel's big business over there.
Agreed. Thought it was clearly a self deprecatory parody. And putting Steve Jobs on guitar was a nice touch.
Actually, you're right: only 1% using (1234...) ain't half bad.

If you want a CLI equivalent of "ubuntu-dash", then you have to make one. grep is not it.

And as far as I am concerned, anyone who honestly finds themselves wishing cli tools worked like gui tools should knock themselves out. I'm sure plenty of people would find it useful.
This is without doubt terrible, we all know that. But it is not uncommon that web services leak passwords, so common that we are quite accustomed to it and expect it to happen from time to time.

This is not the right way to deal with the problem.

Authentication security for cloud services should be something that sits in the browser, not (only) on the server. This is done by 2factor auth, but that too relies too much on the server admin being good with security.

Maybe one solution would be that the router everyone has at home doubles as file server, and that all webapps files are stored there instead on the remote server? That would move the responsibility away from web devs (who often behave irresponsibly) to the ones writing the os for the router.

There are of course many ideas that are better than mine, but to let web devs have control of this is evidently not a good one. Something needs to change.
The problem with this is that there is no incentive to keep one account.

GoMockingbird (http://gomockingbird.com) is an example of an application I probably have 4 accounts for-- not on purpose, I just couldn't figure out which email, twitter, facebook I used to sign up for it. I didn't realize that only the first project was free until later, because I generally stop using it after one project.

I could totally foresee a user signing up for 5-10 free screens then forgetting about the tool for later. When they come back, those original 5-10 screens may or may not be related to what they're working on now, and I can guarantee most people won't shell out the $39 when they realize they could just create a new account.

The proper way to monetize this (IMO) is through a freemium model. Don't limit them with what you have now. Figure out something that's truly a solid bell or whistle and sell them that. Give users the ability to create HTML/CSS for free, but maybe scroll-fixed javascript headers cost $10 for 10 pages (scroll here: https://www.kiteedu.com).
The definition you're looking for in this context is: Glib; flippant

1) Lunch and learns or brown bags or whatever your org prefers are better. Code reviews are only 1-to-1. Actual classes are more efficient.

2) Use tools to enforce style if you care. Personally, I think it's a waste of time.

3) If you have devs merging code to trunk that isn't fixing the bug and creating the feature requested, then that devs needs replacing.

RE unit testing: I realize it's not that widespread. But anyone developing software and not unit testing is doing it wrong. They should take all the time they waste on code reviews and instead spend it on building out their test suite.

And unit testing Javascript is not only possible, but easy. We do it with Jasmine. It works great. The key is to write good, testable JS instead of the mess of spaghetti that passes for Javascript code in most places.
You don't want the airlines doing the logging. They have a disincentive to do it correctly/report it correctly.

MongoDB is really easy to get started with. It's easy to install on a VM, and it's easy to try it out on Heroku. There's drivers for a bunch of languages, and its API works in a way that fits well with the way programmers already think. It dispenses with pretty much everything that makes getting started with a new database hard (schemas, new syntax, unfamiliar concepts, needing to edit server configs).

MongoDB "just works" out of the box for testing and development. It's practically the perfect database for any testing and development work. And their marketing documentation tells you that it'll just work in production and will scale really well. That makes a lot of people try MongoDB, and they're mostly very happy with it.

...the problems arise later. Because while MongoDB lives up to the hype for testing and development, it doesn't completely live up to the hype for production uses. It doesn't always scale that well. It isn't always as durable as you might hope. Performance isn't always very good. For some use cases, the default settings aren't appropriate; for other use cases the database design itself isn't appropriate. Backups and replication aren't quite as easy as you'd hope.

In short, the problem comes because MongoDB is as good or better than, say, Postgres or Riak during development in basically every way, but it's only better than Postgres or Riak in a few specialized ways during production.

Example: Riak basically won't work at all in a multi-tenant setup. Two competing services will provide you with a free development MongoDB instance on Heroku, but nothing of the kind exists for Riak; you basically need to roll your own cluster. That makes MongoDB really easy for someone thinking "hey, I wonder if Mongo would work for this proof of concept I'm working on" (hint: it will). Of course, MongoDB replication and scaling is honestly mediocre, while Riak's is basically magic. This makes Riak a better choice for someone who needs to scale a cluster of database servers - but you only find out that sort of thing first-hand during production. At which point, you make an angry blog post that hits Hacker News. And while plenty of people never run into MongoDBs weak areas, they never post anything that hits the Hacker News frontpage. :)

TL;DR: A lot of people hate MongoDB because it's amazingly easy to get started with, but harder later on, and they then feel betrayed. Other databases have smoother learning curves.
Yeah, the page I got was for a guy who was 42 years old. Not exactly the kid on the milk carton.
I doubt it, they did everything at night.

Kids all milking the government. One daughter with a tube in her nose yet she and her four kids from four men go with her new husband #5 and collect old bikes which they pile up in their Habitat for Humanity free home.

The wife on disability too and morbidly obese supposedly with back problems dead lifting entire BBQs (junk) into the back of a pickup truck.

The father an ex postal worker encouraged to retire after smashing a windows at work (where everyone hated him).

Renting their house but living in an RV on the street, engine blew so they now live in a motel.

I counted 15 cars in their yard, one in working condition, and their have more at their country "compound".

I don't see the connection to Wall Street <and Wall Street definitely won't see it>. This isn't about monetization, but is more about breadth of context. Really, is there a single change in how they monetize in this SDK release - looks to me like it still depends on the same old mobile ads, albeit with more and more attributes to target off of.

And the title is just annoying.
No, they are born every minute of every day. They are known as kids. Check out kids using iPads and iPhones. Compare that to Android. Kids can figure out how to use iPads and iPhones really quickly. Very, very doubt the same for the Metro or Android for that matter.

That button can still be really good. It can be like reading pages of Hemingway longing for all the adjectives. When they show up, they're such a treat. The girl in the red dress in Schindler's list is another great example. It blows the flat aesthetic, but gives mountains of importance.
I don't think people have a "missing children" memory buffer like that. I might be wrong though. If anyone has links to articles on human memory segmentation it would probably be interesting.

Another day, another corrupt decision from the Brazilian Government. I don't know why people accept the rules imposed on them in the country. You can't say anything about anyone without potentially getting into legal trouble. Saying, "McDonald's Sucks" is cause enough in Brazil to get yourself in trouble.

A truly messed up country. So next time someone complains about the way their country is being run, tell them to read up on freedom in Brazil and they might appreciate their own countries a little more.
Isopropyl alcohol as sold in US drugstores/grocery stores is about 30% water, though, and the alcohol evaporates a lot faster. So for the most part, those who were cleaning their cartridge edge connectors with rubbing alcohol might as well have been breathing on them or using water by itself.

One thing I couldn't tell from the article was whether those fingers actually were bare copper, or gold plated. If they were bare copper, I'm amazed that they lasted a week. If they were gold-plated, then the connection problems would have been strictly in the harmonica connector inside the console itself, at least until people started using pencil erasers. Blowing on the cartridge itself would certainly have had no effect.

Another possibility is that Nintendo made the mistake of flashing gold directly over copper when they should have used an intermediate layer of nickel for passivation. This would probably result in connections that were better than bare copper would have provided but not as reliable as a proper surface treatment would have been.

How does your diet affect drive water consumption? [Interactive]
Is it really worth it the risks to play on the real thing? I don't have my NES anymore (my parents convinced me to give it away when I got an N64), but I think that I'd still use an emulator and boot it only once every few months rather than risking breaking it. And using It Might Be NES (emulator for the PS1/One/2) on a CRT TV is almost the same anyway ;)

Now, I realize there's no point in having something without using it, but my point is if parsimony isn't a better policy.

Look into intermittent fasting diets. They go by various names leangains, renegade, warrior diet, but all follow the same principles of 12 - 20hours of fasting and then a small eating window at night to get in all your nutrition. I've been doing various forms of intermittent fasting for about 3 years with great results. During the workday, which is the middle of your fast, I experience lots of energy and great focus.
I disagree. Take GitHub for example. They just raised $100M in VC. That doesn't take away from the fact that they bootstrapped from April 2008 until July 2012.

Not bootstrapping is taking early Angel/VC funding in order to run the company.
http://xkcd.com/936/ has a mildly amusing explanation.
The problem with material cost based approach is that it ignores the value of the brand. Yes, it doesn't cost 2x as much to build a $50K car as a $25K car but the branding of the $50K cars took a lots of money and a long time to build up. People are willing to buy a $50K BMW instead of a $20K car not because of the material cost but because of the intangible brand. A Prius arguably does not have the branding of a $30K car. Toyota still sold tons of them, kudos to them. Similarly Tesla simply doesn't have the branding power of a $50K car now.
Congrats guys, really exciting product.
There are two important pieces to your Tent identity.

1: Your Entity (this is the url you're referring to. I could be https://jonathan.tent.is and then change to https://titanous.com). Think of entities like a name. You can change it but you really want to think carefully first. Other Tent servers know you by your entity. If all you told someone was your entity (https://spindritf.net) their Tent server would contact the URL where you have saved information about your Tent server. It's all you need to find out someone's Tent information or start following them, like a username. When you change your entity, your server sends out a post to all your followers and lets them know about a profile update with a new entity URL so they can update their records.

2: Your "canonical tent URLs" (the addresses of the servers where you can be reached). These are literally like your address. You can have multiple addresses and move any time you want. Again, your server will simply send a post to your friends letting them know you're moving and where to reach you. In both of these cases you probably want to give other servers some time to update their records before moving just in case.

There are a few edge cases worth mentioning. This system does not actually depend on DNS, but most users will. For example, instead of https://titanous.com I could theoretically list an IP address instead or a tor hidden service.
We've done work with one of the largest media companies in the world who wanted to use Google maps in a traffic app. They could not get a deal done because Google would not commit to not placing ads on the maps. They were more then happy to pay for the map data but having 3rd party location ads were a non-starter.

So yes Google will say no to cash for the rights to their map data (though maybe not a "truck load") if they don't think the deal supports their business. Google's not in the maps business - they're in the ads business. I can very much see Google sticking their heels in the ground on a few "minor" points until Apple walked away.

This isn't a mathematical theorem, and you can't use anecdotes to disprove a claim. I am not claiming that creationists in general do not advance scientific knowledge - I am claiming that creationism as a whole does not aid in advancing scientific knowledge.

Can a creationist benefit scientific knowledge? Will a person benefit scientific knowledge more by choosing creationism over evolution? I doubt it, at least in a general case.

"Even though the A6 was manufactured by Samsung, that doesn't mean it was designed by Samsung. The Apple A6 processor is Apple's first custom-designed processor."

Presumably there is some strain in relations between Apple and Samsung, given that they compete in the mobile device market, and the lawsuit over copying designs.

Would Apple be worried that Samsung would be able to glean trade secrets from their custom design of the A6? Would the information provided to Samsung for manufacture of the chip pose this kind of risk? Or would be less like handing off source code, and more like handing off a compiled binary?
