I used it (YankRing) for some time, but it was never consistent. The plus point is that it works across terminal, otoh often "p" did not work, so i would have to do "YRShow" and select.

Often this is used, but everything you delete gets copied to your clipboard.

set clipboard=unnamed

So i prefer to map C-c and C-x (or whatever) to copy/cut to clipboard.

" regardless of clipboard option, c-c copies selection to clip
vmap <C-c> "+y
" cut into clipboard
vmap <C-x> "+d
" copy to clipboard, http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4767227 , use 3 \y to copy 3 lines
map <leader>y "+yy
" paste from clipboard
map <leader>p "+p
" delete to black hole register, not going to clipboard etc
nnoremap <leader>d "_d
vnoremap <leader>d "_d

I've also mapped a key to write selected lines to a file, and another to read from it.

map <silent> <leader>ww :w! ~/tmp/vimxfer<CR>
map <silent> <leader>wa :w!>> ~/tmp/vimxfer<CR>
nmap <silent> <leader>rr :r ~/tmp/vimxfer<CR>

Not only that, but modern digital recordings often digitally add a track of tape hiss to warm up the sound. I don't mean a distortion plugin or anything, I mean a recording of a 2" tape machine playing nothing but hiss!

That being said, I agree with masklinn, we do this because people are used to hearing it, not because hiss is intrinsically good sounding.

You're certainly entitled to your personal opinion, but really? You're saying that it reflects poorly on someone to relay a story of poor treatment toward them? You don't find any value in knowing this? Have the experiences of others never influenced your own decisions?

It wouldn't work like that in New Zealand. Outside of work, consenting adults etc. The employee could just argue that the employer was acting unprofessionally during work hours despite the employee being professional at all times during work hours. If this firing was handled poorly the employer would likely face massive costs.

TL;DR It's better to buy with a credit card, it costs nothing (individually), and you get benefits. There is a cost to society (everything costs a few % more), but I don't see that changing anytime soon.

No, no ... no. The cost is not to "society", the cost is to merchants. They just earn less profit. (Think about it, if the cost wasn't to the merchants, they wouldn't care about credit card fees).

What cards are giving over 1% back? I noticed some other commenters talking about 2%. I just get 1% + the occasional special 3% promotion.
I'm not talking about things that are "kinda legal", I'm talking about situations where:

Studio X files DMCA to Google.

Google automatically disables the video

Guy fights to reinstate the video, gets approval, video is re approved.

(So far this is what happens now, according to this guy's account)

But at the point where the video is re approved Google should flag the video such that it was previously auto-disabled and found to be not infringing and thus redirect any future DMCAs on it to the manual review pile instead of the automatic pile.

This would curtail studios using the automatic takedown process to fuck with people while adding a fairly minimal amount of work to Google's pile since most of the items that are taken down through the automatic DMCA process won't get re-approved in the first place.

Unless you were talking about VTA, but nobody takes VTA. There was a bit on (I think) a freakonomics podcast sometime in the last year saying that at current VTA ridership levels, it "costs" the environment less (in terms of carbon emissions) for a person to drive rather than taking the bus, because so few people take the bus.

About two years I broke out the BLS data for US employment % vs level of education into a series of graphs.

Numbers for the non-HS degree went up to about 17% unemployment worst scenario. Grad degrees topped out at 4%.

The biggest differentiator was high school: that dropped outcomes by about 5%, iirc. Some college - not even completed college - dropped about 4% down in the outcome. People with BS+ degrees did quite well.

The big takeaway from that was, "education pays off".
Anecdotally, people who are willing to move and be self-motivated could do well even with a Humanities degree.

Of course, I only know one CS guy who couldn't get work.

Wait, I'm confused. See, I am about to graduate with a degree in theater. After four years of working my ass off academically and professionally, I have made serious connections in my field. I have learned, in the classroom and co-curricular opportunities, industry best practices as well as "real world eventualities." I have received job offers that are 100% due to the fact that I went to the college that I did, based on that school's reputation, that other students of other colleges (or no college) will not get.

I think that this was a pretty damn good investment, and I certainly understand why it's a degree option. So that people can learn how to do it.

At Brown, that is the case as well (at 60k/yr). And yet, there are federal and school policies in place to prevent students from paying less than their fair share. I know students whose families earn about 25-30k/yr, who have siblings, and are still expected to pay ~15k/yr. My family's Expected Family Contribution last year was something like 20k (which is more than they were able to pay, so I still had to go into debt). However, due to the fact that I earned about 10k at an internship the previous summer, despite my parent's income remaining constant, our EFC increased to 28k. And, due to my unusually high income, I was eligible for about 4k less in subsidized federal loans (which I've had to max out). Meaning I've had to rely on private loans to make up the difference this year. While I'm forever grateful for the aid I have received, there are still waaay too many cracks students can fall through.
It doesn't matter if the husband was an asshole. If she divorced him and later decided to start a relationship with this guy that's one thing. There is no scenario where it's ok to screw another man's wife, and you have to be a real idiot to be screwing your boss's wife. It is most definitely a breach of trust.
Any resources for learning about BGP, preferably through the lens of security? I feel like it's something most people (myself included!) have no clue about.
> Sure, have your private universities for the elite

If you mean the financially elite, then actually in the US the top private universities are often more affordable for the non-elite. For instance, if your family income is under, I believe, $100k, Stanford waives tuition. If it is under something like $70k, they also waive room and board.

It's actually the top state schools, such as the University of California, that are the hardest for the non-elite to afford (especially for students from out of state).
Uh, that's one possibility. The other possibility is that they're studying something they're truly passionate about, and they aren't focused on how - exactly - the're going to make a living.

I know a number of folks who simply fed their curiosity, and still ended up in productive lives. Indeed, the original purpose of an undergraduate degree was to expand one's horizons. Graduate school was the time and place to focus on profession.
He can fire him, but not without the risk of being sued. I think his dilemma is salvaging the time/investment he made into the employee who basically is his right hand man. A person like that is difficult if not impossible to replace.

He's a logical thinker, but his employee is pretty shady to want to stay around and not quit and seems to be quite arrogant. This can be an advantage.

The wife won't get shit. She is the one who had the affair.

The right choice and most difficult choice is to keep him around. It's likely he is still reliable in terms of the company and vital for his day to day operations.

It is extremely for him to take a new stance with his employee though. Make sure you document in writing all the mistakes or problems you have here on out (Extremely Important). Start looking for a replacement, and have the employee start going through day to day operations.

This will stop the employee from stepping all over his boss. Realizing he can be replaced is important especially since the guy seems to not have respect for his boss.

This will put him in his place and he'll have the choice to step up and outperform or make mistakes that puts him in a situation where there is just cause to fire him.

The best case scenario would be for his employee to quit on his own so that he doesn't have have to give severance pay, health insurance or unemployement. This is what usually happens.

You could also cut his hours etc, other ways to get him to leave without having to fire him.
Why are you so dismissive of the humanities? I'm a Computer Science major myself, but I can't fathom how you've come to the conclusion that colleges are vocational schools for STEM subjects.
Yes you can. He doesn't have to, but I suspect I'd say it's either me or him as working together isn't a good option for anyone. It's bad for both employees, and also bad for the company. Either I quit, or you fire him.

I've posted it elsewhere, but CR also had that graph in his blog: http://cr4re.com/charts/chart-images/EducationUnemploymentSe...

I find it quite an oversight that pando quoted the CR unemployment duration, but not the UE by education. The second graph makes the pando article look silly IMO.

Hang on - isn't it widely accepted that spatial information represents our greatest mental bandwidth, both in terms of input and in terms of memory? The ancient Greek orators' "memory palaces" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_of_loci) provide one early recognition of this mental faculty.

With the preponderance of meatspace-spatial terms used for electronic services ("room", "space", "site", "zone", "stream", "page", "locker", "file", etc.) doesn't it follow that spatial reasoning will begin to function on nonspatial environs, based upon mental conceptions?

On an interesting and related tangent I recently saw a presentation in Jarkta, Indonesia by an Arizona-based academic who analyzed the twitter words used around recent conflicts and determined a heavy spatial semantic bent:

The argument IIRC was that the general population of twitter are responding to oppression against high-level cognitive concepts such as human rights with spatially reasoned dialogue: '"The Cloud and the Ground: Political Activism in the Digital Media Age"' @ International Conference on Communication, University of Indonesia, Depok, Indonesia, 6-7 December 2012. http://merlyna.org/appearances/

Unfortunately it's not available online. Oh, the irony!

PS. After the conference I hassled the keynote speakers about the lack of a program incorporating Wikileaks and government surveillance. Furthermore, Participants needed to register with the university in order to access censored internet. Later, Creative Commons Indonesia threw a party within the US-run '@America' facility (designed to manipulate the perception of America by Indonesian muslim youth - source: NYT), a disgusting venue given that they are currently pushing TPP. I did complain to Creative Commons' ethics board.

The lighting explanation makes sense to me, but the one thing I'm not clear on is how a computational frame rate reduction magically adjusts the lighting back to what it would have been if it was originally shot in 24 fps.
Socrates said the same about the invention of writing:

"And now, since you are the father of writing, your affection for it has made you describe its effects as the opposite of what they really are. In fact, it will introduce forgetfulness into the soul of those who learn it: they will not practice using their memory because they will put their trust in writing, which is external and depends on signs that belong to others, instead of trying to remember from the inside, completely on their own."

"Why do you want to own a house?"

It's actually not a bad proposition now in the US. Housing starts are heading up, prices are rock-bottom but starting to budge upwards again, and the common wisdom on real estate is now strongly negative.

What I'm saying is that someone would likely be able to get their money back (+ inflation) if they get a house these days and sell it later. Of course, they've got to deal with the headaches you mention, which personally still turns me off.

I don't think the pose-topless-for-a-scanner thing is ridiculous at all. You could even imagine the device being video-based, something you run on your laptop (which obviously doesn't actually upload or even record pictures of you). If you can stand topless in front of a fitter, you can stand topless in front of a device.

A less intense approach, though, would be doing a better job of statistical modeling women's breast shapes and how well different kinds of bras fit them. If you sell bras for a while and different women return different ones, you can start to build a sense of what customers' ideal fits are and refine what bra shapes and styles get sent to them. Whether that data can be accumulated fast enough to make the service useful is an open question, but it at least doesn't sound crazy.

How big of a problem do you think secondary (browser) exploits are going to be? Should users take any browsing precautions?
I think you're pretty close on this point. I share most of the views from the post above you, but I'd like to expand on them a bit.

First of all, I don't think people like flaws. If you take someone who has never listened to a vinyl record and ask them to listen to one and compare it with a CD recording, I'd bet they would cite the CD as being the better experience.

What people like is what they are comfortable with, and not just because of habit: distinctive patterns, especially in highly emotionally charged areas such as movies and music, generate emotional connections and attachment. Those who grew up listening to vinyl associate it's "fuzzy/scratchy" sound with the moments they spent listening to them. There's very potent emotional attachment to those flaws, and that's why people are attracted to them. When I hear the warbly sound and see the poor quality visuals of old VHS's, I'm taken back to watching Disney movies as a child.

As explained in this article[0], these emotional attachments are the reason why people enjoy Instagram to the degree that they do. The washed out, blurry, grainy photos generated by Instagram hit on the emotional connections to old photographs of our parents and of our childhoods.

Similarly, I think the same follows for 24 fps vs 48 fps movies; think of all the intense moments you've had while watching a movie in your lifetime. How many times have you laughed or cried or gasped at something happening in a movie shot in 24 fps? Given that any movie you've watched up till now has been shot at 24 fps, you've probably done it many times. Each time you feel those strong emotions, every aspect of that moment is associated with that feeling: the smell of the popcorn, the low lighting, the chair you where sitting in, the people with you. All of those details are now associated with that memory and that experience.

Now repeat that process of strong emotional association for every single movie or TV show you've ever seen. With this information, it's obvious why people are so attached to this small aspect of a movie: because there are strong emotions associated with the 24 fps frame rate.

He's dismissive of spending so much money for a humanities degree because it's not a wise investment in this day and age. I don't see his statement as having a problem with the humanities themselves.
This happens to me and I think is related to learning habits for general subjects. I remember my association to information more than the information itself. It's why I'm bad at learning history (despite finding it fascinating) unless it's an issue that I can link to myself and relate to personally and build a connection. Similarly, on a weekly basis I Google for `site:news.ycombinator.com drivebyacct2 <some keyword I know I used>` to get back to a post or discussion that I want to reference.

I feel kind of bad about this as I introspect, I'm sure this reliance on third parties has a detrimental effect on my ability to remember information that I could compose to build new knowledge or apply to new situations.

And of course the fact that the richer and/or smarter of us tend to be the ones who attend college is not a factor at all.
> I would also put forth that college life is increasingly cushy. The dorms at my alma mater are amazingly nice, compared to when I went there. I lived in a converted motel run by the university. Today's students have suites, with kitchenettes, free cable TV, reserved parking, and a fitness center. I'm not saying it should return to the barely-better-than-prison experience I had, but there needs to be a limit set, because all that stuff adds to the semester's cost.

How about letting the free market decide, instead of forcing students to live on campus?
