I travel the world country hopping every month or so and stay almost exclusively in places sourced off airbnb or wikitravel. Works fine, I don't know if I'd qualify as an outlaw wanderer? Perhaps not.

Or you could buy an RV and travel whatever land mass you're stuck in, or you could buy a yacht and travel the seas, or the options are fairly limitless. Buying a house and settling down is just the path most frequently taken, not the only one by any stretch of the imagination.

SLES decided several years ago not to support ext4. Their reasoning was that once they started supporting ext4, they would be committed to support it for ten years (since they are an enterprise distro). At the time, they didn't have the staffing levels to support another file system, and they assumed that btrfs would be coming down the pike soon.

As it turns out btrfs took a bit longer for them to stablize than they had counted upon, but that's why they made the decision they did when SLES 11 was first released.

And now you know the rest of the story. :-)
A couple of years ago I went on a "math" tour of Manhattan with one of the MoMath's cofounders, Glen Whitney. It consisted of walking around and observing the geometric shapes of the cut and their practical purposes, such as how traffic was impacted by the traffic circle of Columbus Circle.

Whitney held these tours every few weeks, you just had to email and ask... I think he even paid for subway fare IIRC...he did these fun little tours to drum up attention for MoMath. Glad to see his dream become a physical reality
> By all means, you make it as easy as possible to integrate with your solution by providing tools and support, and then you take a cut if they choose to make it.

The problem here is two-fold:

1) 30% is a lot, and many large scale developers will choose the homebrew/third party library solution
2) It begets a bad user experience when users have to be cautious about IAP, remember another set (or sets) of credentials, chase yet another company for refunds - and Apple are likely to cop the blame even if it's not their IAP solution the dev is using.
My microecon is a little rusty but isn't the second problem essentially a wash? It seems that the shadow tax should never exceed the mortgage interest deduction (assuming rational markets).
"Data hosting/sharing service" or "Data Marketplace(buy/sell data)". Allow users to upload data on your website and make it available to others for use in various formats such as csv,xls,xml,sql,json or expose data to be used through REST API.

You can later extend it by allowing users to share js/php/etc code snippets that does some operation on data or that handles presentation of data. Widgetize it so that it can be embedded on web pages.

It is therefore unlawful for a school board to deny admission to a student on the basis of the legal status or physical condition of his or her home.

Websites: SeekingAlpha (side note: financial articles, SA included, are sophisticated-sounding babble put out by someone that has to meet their quota, not well-thought-out logical explanations by people in-the-know)

Make a list of terminology and learn directly what it means to your trading. Pretty much any trading term that has general meaning and isn't arcane and quant-y is googleable. I recall Khan Academy also having very useful videos explaining a lot of terminology (Salman Khan used to be a trader)

For example, in SLV:
Liquidity: How easy (read: cheap) it is to open and close a position. If the spread on an option is $33.00 (sell) and $33.33 (buy), you lose 1% (most people say $0.33 - I prefer to look at the percentages) just by getting in and out of a position regardless of your trade (I'm ignoring commissions), and assuming the trade reliably goes through instantly. The higher the cost (time, risk of nonfulfillment, money) of opening and closing a position, the more illiquid the position is.

In the context of houses, the time and effort and money put into maintenance and time and uncertainty involved in buying/selling, etc make them extremely illiquid investments. If you own AAPL stock and it crashes, you can hit a button and sell it. If you own a house and the housing market collapses, good luck!

If I were to invest the cost of a house in some high-volume stock with a tight bid-ask ratio and sell it two years later for the same price by hitting a button on my phone, my losses are just the bid-ask difference and I was never really at much risk of being unable to sell it instantly (during market hours at least). It's a very liquid position.

That's just one example, but there are plenty out there. Jump in feet first, google all the things, and don't wager stupid amounts of money.

there are indeed dozens of incorrect papers which make neophyte errors. however, this one was written by a TCS Phd [from what I can tell] with a respectable number of published papers, some in TCS. I have studied this particular area of attack for many years, ie monotone circuit theory, & think it is one of the most plausible lines of attack on P vs NP, hence my playing devils advocate for this proof so far. even if there are holes, which frankly, is the most probable case, it may either prove something new about monotone circuit theory, and/or raise awareness/interest in this particular direction of attack.

would like to see the opinion of experts who know about monotone circuit theory, which is a deep area with very many substantial results & think there are few who are really qualified to judge these results. even Phds in complexity theory may not be very familiar with monotone circuit proofs.... they are some of the most complex, arcane/abstruse, but even award-winning proofs in TCS.... (hence some of their plausibility in attack).... it seems possible to me the author has avoided all the basic traps and that only some other experts in the area can find the holes after careful study....

and note in the paper that there is a big difference between assuming statements that cannot be proven, and outright false statements. the author may actually have some pieces of the proof that cannot be proven as he thinks, but are not known to be false, and these can be turned into new substantial conjectures! that is the process of mathematical development....

From a site owner's perspective: if you have a LOT of data then scraping can be very disruptive. I've had someone scraping my site for literally months, using hundreds of different open proxies, plus multiple faked user-agents, in order to defeat scraping detection. At one point they were accessing my site over 300,000 times per day (3.5/sec), which exceeded the level of the next busiest (and welcome) agent... Googlebot. In total I estimate this person has made more than 30 million fetch attempts over the past few months. I eventually figured out a unique signature for their bot and blocked 95%+ of their attempts, but they still kept trying. I managed to find a contact for their network administrator and the constant door-knocking finally stopped today.
> On the other side of the sea, you have Japan. From the US side, it seems that Japanese labels haven't been too generous with releasing their content overseas.

As explained in this article by The Verge[0], the Japanese are still very much tethered to physical media. They regularly rent/buy CDs, DVDs, and Blu-ray discs, for reasons discussed in the article, which has kept profits high in the Japanese entertainment industry, compared to the West. Physical album sales have actually risen 11% in Japan in 2012, compared to 2011[1].

This, combined with the Japanese market's size and the almost complete absence of piracy there, has obviated the need for Japanese artists to embrace the internet or market their products abroad. Korea, on the other hand, has a much smaller population, and one for which piracy is a way of life. Korean artists are thus forced to market abroad, and in fact get 80% of their profits from Japan[1].

Among domestic Japanese groups, on the other hand, there has also been a reliance on various gimmicks to boost physical single and album sales. For example, AKB48, a girl pop group with dozens of members (originally 48 of them), holds yearly elections (senbatsu) to determine the order in which the members are ranked. You get one voting code for each physical copy of a particular single/album that you buy. There are crazy fans that will literally buy thousands of copies of a single CD in order to repeatedly vote for their favorite member, so that member wins[2,3].

Just to add: NP actually stands for "non-deterministic polynomial," meaning that if we had non-deterministic computers (like the NFAs you may remember from Automata Theory that can explore several different possibilities simultaneously) those types of computers could solve problems in NP in polynomial time.

Cool. Thanks! :)
Firstly, this website and its textbook make a pretty good primer: http://www.warehouse-science.com

As far as efficiency best practices - I can offer some names of concepts to look into:

- Picking Methods - Order picking, Multi-Order (Batch) Picking, Zone Picking, and Wave Picking. Each approach has their sweet spot regarding total # of orders and picks per order.

- Cartonization - the system looks at an order/shipment and determines the best set of boxes to use ahead of time rather than letting the picker "eyeball" it and potentially have to re-pack into a different size (or waste a larger box and extra packing material).

- Task Interleaving - which is basically about coordinating your warehouse workers to prevent them from moving around without doing some work (called dead heading).

- Slotting - arranging goods in their most optimal locations. This is a complicated subject, but can be as easy as looking at historical orders to see what products are commonly combined and physically placing them near each other (to reduce picker travel time).

As far as accuracy:

- Pick-to-light systems are expensive, but tend to increase accuracy and efficiency.

- Handhelds coupled with software that enforces scanning location and SKU barcodes (i.e. picker scans source location, source LP, enters quantity picked, and scans target LP).

- Adding a weight verification step. Your WMS can come up with a theoretical weight of a given container based on what it thinks is in the container. You can throw a Mettler-Toledo PS60 scale inline on your conveyor that leads to your shipping station/dock/trucks and compare the calculated weight against the actual measured weight and double check if its too heavy or too light (within a tolerance).

Along the same lines, it's interesting that not only has Constantin Film apparently stopped issuing DMCA notices on the Untergang (Downfall) parody videos, but some of the older ones that were previously DMCA'ed off of YouTube seem to have come back. Maybe it finally occurred to someone at Constantin how many viewers those unlicensed parodies have attracted to their excellent but otherwise obscure movie over the past few years.

I posted one a couple of years ago, myself. It stayed up for about a year, then was yanked in response to a DMCA complaint from Constantin. About a year after that -- meaning just a few weeks ago -- I started getting notifications of user comments again. The video had magically reappeared on YouTube with no intervention or counterclaim on my part.

It would make more sense if apple did anything to help attach content delivered via the store to specific individuals.

Recently there was a story about a game that was 'killed' by piracy because apple didn't provide a way of connecting players to iTunes accounts, in order to ban pirates.

There's very little intrinsic value with the app store.

How about if you use the app store to deliver your content, you are given a unique id to tie to specific devices?

Or maybe if you could host content tied to in app purchases on iTunes?

To me it seems fair to say 'if you use their resources to conduct a transaction and deliver content, you should pay them'

http://www.kingsailfishmounts.com/UserFiles/northernpike.jpg

Pike grow to a relatively large size; lengths of 150 centimetres (59 in) and weights of 25 kilograms (55 lb) are not unheard of. The heaviest specimen known so far was caught in an abandoned stone quarry, in Germany, in 1983. She (the majority of all pikes over 8 kg or 18 lb are females) was 147 cm (58 in) long and weighed 31 kg (68 lb). The longest pike ever recorded was 152 cm (60 in) long and weighed 28 kg (62 lb).
>For the unfamiliar, memmove is a potentially slower variant of memcpy

It's worth pointing out that the performance hit of memmove vs. memcpy is a single check in memmove which decides, based on if the source or destination address is higher, whether to copy front to back or back to front. You're never going to win any measurable performance gains by replacing a memmove call with a memcpy.
This is an excellent point which deflates most of this article's premise. The "shelter short" you hold by being a living breathing person is really just what can be considered livable shelter. For most people, I'd imagine they live in houses that are well beyond what they could reasonably survive in, so that portion of the equity position of the house they live in is strictly "long".

This probably is better served by an example. Lets say you buy a $2m home as a single person. And lets also say you could just as comfortably live in a $250k home. If house prices go up and your $2m home suddenly becomes a $2.25m home, you can sell it and get a "free" livable home with the 250k profit. (Technically that house would be selling for 277k at that point so you get to buy a "livable home" for $27k, but that's besides the point.) You basically are now market neutral, whereas before you were long. You will have a livable home for the rest of your life, as long as your requirements of what is considered livable do not change.

Where does the "free livable home" come from? $1.75M of your original home was "long houses". Or, another way to look at it is you were leveraging beyond your $250k "survivalship position" in housing by 8x, and then scaled back the leverage to 1x when you bought your second home. This $1.75M was speculation (or investment, depending on how you look at it :)) in the housing market. The additional speculative risk you took via the leverage resulted in the market rewarding you with a place to live.

Is twitter trying to claim ownership over bootstrap? I assume you 2 guys left twitter to do this as-a-living. The post reads like a "Twitter does not own this, we made it on our own time, Its just the two of us, etc. etc."

Do you even need to worry about this? Pretty sure since its open source you guys are fine, unless something in your twitter employment contract says otherwise. That being said, Bootstrap is a valuable asset to the web and I think you would be not-paranoid in assuming that twitter might want to call it a asset it owns.
