There's no other option unless you live in a decently large city. There's exactly two points of interest in my town, and they're 4 miles apart. In order to actually do anything in this game, you need at least 3 portals, so I'm already stuck driving to a different town. There's very little point in me walking/riding a bike 4 miles down a fairly major road in my town.
What's worse about the __sub__ method is that it will work in unpredictable ways, for instance

>>> ExpressiveList(item, [2], [3]) - item

will either be [[2], [3]] if item isn't a list, or something different if item is a list. This goes against the "Explicit is better than implicit" philosophy of python, and can cause all sorts of headaches later.

The opposition of the fact that local government is vastly more corrupt and incompetent than the federal government vs the theory that they are more accountable to voters is not an opposition of facts.

You get good government when there is enough of a media market to pay for people to spend all day, every day, tracking government. The USFG has that.

Busted. Science nowhere depends on belief. You, on the other hand, would like this to be an issue of belief, as though it's 1500 and you're being tried for witchcraft.

On the contrary -- everyone who reads your posts gets the point right away.

"To Facebook’s credit, it gave this vote a fair chance. It emailed all its users about the proposal".

I never received any email about that. Maybe to all its users who didn't opt out for email alerts, but not ALL its users.
I am Michele. I was not trying to put you on the hot seat either. It struck me as an opportunity to address some of the underlying issues in the forum, issues which sparked this submission. Please consider it a compliment that I thought your remark a worthy jumping off point.

The theorem explains US fiscal cliff reasons: there are infinite number of cents between $0 and $1. If we have infinite number of cents - we can buy infinite number of things!
Now you know the whole story.
The NeXT and Rhapsody kernels used NetBSD as the basis for their BSD subsystem, OS X used FreeBSD as the basis for its BSD subsystem.

You are technically correct that it isn't FreeBSD but, for most intents and purposes, Mac OS X re-uses many parts of FreeBSD.
The design looks nice at first glance - but when I tried to figure out what you actually do, how you deliver on your promise, I was just confused. You're very features-first. Would love it if you started your copy and iconography with benefits and then talked about the features that support them.
The first photo they have on their website is rather irritating. Being able to see the sidewalk moving up and down kind of ruins the effect. I'm surprised they didn't pick a better example for their own website.

This isn't actually news. I think I knew about Apatosaurus (vs. Brontosaurus) in the 1970s.
This is disingenuous. You are not merely suggesting that we be be more inclusive of non-english speakers. You imply that requiring english is the moral equivalent of racial segregation. That is preposterous.

This argument is not even reasonable on its face. You're overlooking one of the essential characteristics of utility-based pro-segregation/anti-gay arguments - they're demonstrably false. It's clear that a desegregated military is more effective, not less. Homosexuality, I am sure, will prove itself similarly.
Perhaps the LTE radio was defective, but the rest was fine.
Which is what the article said: the images will no longer appear, just the links to said images. There's a difference.

>> "Ramsey says it was a good deal, because his district is getting a brand-new $25 million school. 'You'd take that any day,' he says. 'Why would you leave $25 million on the table? You would never leave $25 million on the table.'"

It's maddeningly common for people to neglect that pesky "cost" part of a cost-benefit analysis.

I tried it to see what'd happen but the experience hurt my mind.
This isn't remotely new information. I knew the brontosaurus was never a real thing as a kid.
It may be that Google, Facebook et al would like the Supreme Court to revisit the matter.

If the Supreme Court is anything like the High Court of Australia, they look dimly on requests to take on cases that haven't first been at least partly chewed on by lower courts.

Sometimes you need to go through the motions before you can go through the motions.
My use cases are similar. Here are some of my thoughts:

* Facebook: Photo and video sharing with friends and family. That's 80% of it. 15% is hearing updates on friend's lives and 5% is sharing my own updates.

* Twitter: Following the thoughts of various people or subjects. I only follow a couple of real-life friends on there, most of the accounts I follow are celebrities, tech-oriented accounts, who post things I like to see. The idea of being able to hear blurbs from anyone I want to (who offers them) is appealing. TBH, to me it's like an RSS feed of short blurbs.

* E-Mail: Communication with the outside world, centralized around me. I try to push as much through e-mail as possible, except for info aimed at people who I know prefer alternative methods.

* Chat: Real-time conversations. I try to couple this to my e-mail for convenience. So, G-Mail + G-Talk is a winner. If I tend to use Facebook for a specific contact, I try to IM them through it as well.
Awesome suggestions. Thank you!

Randomly tapping won't get you very far actually. You get time bonuses for clearing more than 6 blocks at once. You really need to play patiently to keep the game going. Score bonuses are also a lot better when you clear a lot of blocks at once so again it pays to play strategically.
Planning and preparing won't guarantee your survival, but it will sure do a lot to increase your odds. If person A spends hours meticulously testing his building's structural integrity and invests money to reinforce relevant safety mechanisms, while person B does not, is it person B's fault if their house falls down while person A's does not? No, it's not really, but they could have done more.

There aren't ANY guarantees in life (except maybe this one), but I think the point of the article is to try to show the benefits of an internal locus of control. There will probably be things in everyone's life that they have little power over, but that does not mean they are completely helpless. Rare is a situation where any action on someone's part has a 0% chance of changing the outcome.
The 8 year old version of me is shocked to learn of this.
Cool as a proof of concept- realistically I'd be stunned if this didn't punish your conversions.

The scrolling experience was klunky, and because of the way it cuts off text, you're forced to completely load the new frame and drop all context from the last..
You ignored the last clause of the sentence. The author doesn't plan to not replace drives because they are SSDs, rather because they are covered by AppleCare.
Since you asked, the ones that jumped out at me were: "aweful" (should be "awful") "freckin" (should be "freaking", though that might have been deliberate) and "lifes" (should be "lives").

Does your CMS not allow you to use spell check? Most modern browsers support spell check in forms, so it shouldn't require explicit support. Even if you're pounding out HTML manually, all the HTML editors I've seen recently have spell checking support.

According to http://credittrends.moodys.com/ right now long term corporate bond rates are 4% or so.

Except where did they plan to come up with that money? School budgets don't tend to grow that fast and building a new school adds additional costs. I'm not arguing that new schools shouldn't be built but taking on large debts without clear plans.
YC is fine.

Also I note that this is not YC money that is being cut back. This is YC asking outside investors to give YC companies less money up front before they have proven themselves.
Exactly. It'd be one thing if instagram was a popular independent service. But they're not. Let's not forget who their big brother is, peering over their shoulder.

Some investors have more of a long-term perspective than others. Always the scary part of investing in early-stage startups has been the need to fund a lot of losers to cast a wide enough net to find the occasional winner. The main YC team will keep refining its procedures for searching out winners who haven't won yet, while screening out losers who won't win even with a YC investment, but that will always be an inexact art.

Yes, we've worked on A LOT of items from the last submission.

The biggest problem was that it's not really easy for people to get started on how to build applications with Ragic. People don't like to read documents, so we added an "Interactive Tutorial".

The interactive tutorial takes new users step by step to build a simple application on Ragic, pretty much like how you do it on a flash game or online game. If you click through the tutorial, you will have built a simple Ragic application. We really hope that this can help our users get the hang of it.
I think that is what they want, but the court just decided Bilski two years ago, and the guy who was in favor of categorically excluding business method patents in that case, Stevens, is no longer on the court. I just don't think it's a winning strategy is all.

The thing is, though, once you're in the back room, they can fairly quickly determine if you were lying, and if you did lie, that itself will be held against you. Unless you have a very good explanation for why you lied—and do a lot of groveling—just the lie can be enough to deny entrance (even if the truth is innocuous).

Explaining a non-lie can be annoying as well, but not having lied is a much better position to start from.
Rack "foorprints" at the datacenter are expensive, and you pay for 15kw per footprint whether you use it or not. it just made sense to fit it all into one. Having had this rack running at full power for a couple of weeks now, I can say the temps stay lower than our SuperMicro racks in the same row!! and the Supermicro racks can only hold 20 machines before they run out of power in the footprint.

It is a landing flight path and is about 1 mile away from the airport. Departures are westward over Ocean Beach unless there is heavy fog and they reverse, pretty rare. The video is taken from the middle of Balboa Park under the Laurel street bridge over the 163 freeway. I can sit out on my deck and watch these plane's final descent and their horizontal position and altitude varies quite a bit and I'm about a half mile from where the video was shot.
Dear Engineers: Don't Be A Dick.
In general, you should take the time to learn the rules and regulations before writing things like these up:

- If the off duty light is not on and your trip is in the five boroughs then the cabbie cannot refuse to take you. In my couple years in New York taking hundreds of cabs I have never had a cabbie in this situation lock his doors or ask me where I was going before I got in the car.

- if the off duty light is on then the cabbie has the option because he is going in for a shift change. This happens around 4PM. They are not allowed to put off duty light on otherwise. They often can't go to JFK because there is another driver waiting for the car in the next hour.

You can (and often should) use a black car service when traveling during rush hour to the airports. Uber is 2-3x the rate of a cab. A service like Dial-7 is about 25% more and cheaper if going out of Newark.
Respecting robots.txt is probably the best plan.

Pardon my nitpicking, but wouldn't the metaphorical "coin toss" in a case where there are three possibilities be 33%, so 40% is very (very) slightly better?

For cases with only two outcomes, you can never be worse than a coin toss. If you're achieving 40% accuracy in that case, all you have to do is invert the output of your algorithm and suddenly you're achieving 60% accuracy.

Not a terribly important point I'm making, I know.

Since this is a perception index, I think isolation has a lot to do with it. Americans don't travel much, our news generally ignores countries we're not bombing, etc, and so Americans have very little frame of reference for this sort of judgment.

I personally marvel at what an upstanding and civil government we have, but then again my family is from Bangladesh and we left because my dad was sick of having to do things like pay a bribe to get a phone line installed (we went months without phone service in our house because of his intransigence).
I'm talking about the search box on the SpringBoard (aka, the search box when you swipe left from the home screen).

That will allow people to search there for github and see the app in the list of launchable items.
I suspect that when people encounter government corruption in the US, it’s usually at the city or state level, in jurisdictions where a political machine controls important purchasing decisions and opponents of that machine face odds much lower than 48%.
I'm talking about the search box on the SpringBoard (aka, the search box when you swipe left from the home screen).

This has nothing to do with the appstore other than a way to get a keyword on the phone. The App KEYWORDS do not help the on Springboard Spotlight search.

Makes sense -- that extra $70K or so probably isn't the deciding factor in seeing whether someone has a validated idea and product. Ron Conway probably stepped back in part because now EVERY company is a Ron Conway-backed company and that his backing doesn't have the same cachet as before.
What I’d really like to know is: which countries have significantly increased their scores over the past five years or so, and how did they do it?
Given that this is perceived corruption, it would be everything people think they see from top to bottom.

So instances like you suggest or; local businessman gets caught 15 times for DUI and never charged because he funded the mayors election campaign. (this happened in my area, he finally got charged after the federal government here in Canada blocked the Carter defence) Whether or not the mayor played any role its the whole guilt by association.

I personally wonder why Canada ranks so low in comparison to the US and UK when we have moronic "canada first" laws in industry that protects monopolies, but then again this is "perceived" corruption and the layperson won't be as likely to perceive vastly overpaying for a service as corruption.

The Poway School District has a very good reputation and mostly covers upper middle class exurbs with a lot of residents working tech jobs, with Qualcomm, HP, Intuit, Broadcom, Sony, and more having offices in or near the district.

San Diego (especially in the suburbs) has much more of an anti-tax climate than most of California, so I'd guess this is more an attempt by a politician or school board faction to increase services without increasing taxes, George W. Bush-style, with the bill coming due later.

Does it strike anyone else as odd that the context for this discussion revolves solely around the funding they're given, and that's the only barometer in this discussion?

While I get that it's not the reason being given, it's hard not to infer that this pullback in funding is in some way related to the real-world success rate of recent YC companies.
> Government gets less competent as you go down the chain, because the most qualified people want to work higher up

Interesting hypothesis. According to this hypothesis, the US Congress members should be among the most intelligent, skillful and talented people in the country. Does the known evidence match the hypothesis?

I have a question ... if many of these patents are that obvious, why doesn't Google or another company make a point (that will take 3-4 years to make) by patenting a lot of stuff it thinks will exist in 3-4 years, and then just suing everyone in sight on the internet just to prove a point? As long as their patent covers it, they will make lots of high profile cases.

Maybe the stuff isn't as obvious when it's being patented. I don't think the obviousness-at-the-time-of-patent is the problem here. The problem is that the industry moves quickly and it doesn't cost much to innovate in software as it does in, say, pharma. That's what Posner's point was.
And it's still another $25 million loan, even if on good terms.
>But honestly - startup founders literally have no idea why things take off and they have no idea why they win. That's why they have to keep pivoting - it increases their luck surface area and their ability to gain traction - after which they simply must hold on tight while surfing the wave.

Sounds like you have some solid advice, pivot often.
