I thought it was surrounding the DMV definition for "Person" from the DMV code and not corporation personhood. The defendant did have a thing against personhood but seems the defense was that signs were legally vague in accordance to the DMVs definition of person.

470. "Person" includes a natural person, firm, copartnership, association, limited liability company, or corporation.

I have fond memories of spending entire weeks programming the old Mindstorms NXT kits for an infamous undergrad ECE course at McGill... It's strange that Lego markets this so heavily towards children when there's more than enough complexity to keep a team of (adult) engineers having fun for months on end.

Since then, I've always wanted to buy myself one, but the steep price tag has been holding me back. Still, Lego's design and product quality is superb, so now that there's a brand new set of hardware coming out at the same price point I just might bite the bullet.
No there aren't. YC founders' userids show up in orange to one another, and there is a page where they can see one anothers' submissions. There are no mechanisms to "boost" stories submitted by YC founders, nor does the voting ring detector discriminate.

How does the carpool lane relieve traffic congestion? If people could actually use that lane instead of it being some kind of elitist lane (which is what it feels like, I drive it in all the time (family)), traffic would be better.

The times traffic IS bad the damn carpool lane is just as backed up as the other lanes. And then there's the whole problem of needing to get off the lane, which you can't always do (you can only get off at specific spots), and then you're swerving across 4+ lanes of traffic causing a classic 'shockwave' problem.

I don't have time to manage such a project. I don't think it's necessary anyway. The reason HN lacks x cool feature is not that I expend no energy on the site, but that I expend all my energy on what users actually care about, which is not features but the content.
It would break the experience. Wouldn't it also facilitate depression by constantly reminding them that they are on Earth and could leave at any time they wanted to?
Such a shame when people don't put their time and effort towards things that matter. Like you know, helping people and making a difference. I am doubtful he'll achieve anything, but I guess that remains to be seen. He's so far failed once, I guess he can keep appealing and hope something happens.

I think the real question here isn't why bathroom doors open in or out. The question should be: Why aren't hand washing facilities just outside the bathroom?

Wouldn't you feel better if you actually saw the cook at the restaurant washing his hands when exiting the bathroom? Also, social pressure would probably cause more people to clean-up.

Just one of those "outside the box" thoughts.
ColdFusion, a language derided by many, has more absolute job postings than Scala, Clojure, and Groovy:

http://www.indeed.com/jobtrends?q=scala%2C+coldfusion%2C+clo...

(Of course, the obvious growth trend shows that won't always be the case)

This means .. absolutely nothing. The original linked chart showed little more. I doubt Scala developers are excited by the day they finally catch up with ColdFusion. The relative trend chart might lead one to believe that they'd be better focusing on Scala than Java, even though there's about 100X more jobs postings for Java. (per Indeed's data)
Well in that case it could be argued that roads would be less congested than the corporation hiring a courier, taxicab, lawyer, etc to transport itself.
robocat, thanks for the link above to the blackout in India. Amazing to look at those pictures power poles dense with wires for electricity theft.

Here's a highly technical blow-by-blow analysis of the August 2003 North American blackout: https://reports.energy.gov/BlackoutFinal-Web.pdf

Here are some of my favorite quotes:
..."At 13:30 EDT, the MISO EMS engineer went to lunch. However, he forgot to re-engage the automatic periodic trigger."

..."Also at 15:42 EDT, the Perry plant operator called back with more evidence of problems. “I’m still getting a lot of voltage spikes and swings on the generator . . . . I don’t know how much longer
we’re going to survive.”

..."At 15:46 EDT the Perry plant operator called the FE control room a third time to say that the unit was close to tripping off: “It’s not looking good . . . .We ain’t going to be here much longer and you’re
going to have a bigger problem.”

A great read both for its tutorial and historical value.

I don't know if it's still like this, but I actually went through a ton of trouble trying to unsubscribe from LinkedIn emails. I dug through all the preferences and unchecked all the email notification boxes, but the LinkedIn emails kept coming. After googling I found that I wasn't alone in having this problem, as if it were some kind of bug or something.

At this point, I gave up and started marking all LinkedIn emails as spam.

This all happened a while ago, so they may have fixed it by now. But quite frankly, I don't care. I would delete my account, but many legitimate companies I've interviewed with specifically ask for my LinkedIn profile to keep in touch. It's kind of annoying.

I've been using careers.stackoverflow.com as an alternative for an online resume, but it's unexpected to potential employers.
John McCain: Google Delegation to NKorea ‘Useful Idiots’
It's kind of funny that the government apparently (if AIG claims are true) did the same to them as what politicians long criticized the bankers for doing as "predatory lending". I.e. if you consider that using one's bad situation to trick him into a loan which terms are unduly onerous is despicable thing to do for a bank - shouldn't be the same thing despicable for the government? On the other hand, if it's OK for the government to do, they shouldn't really use this "predatory lending" term anymore - at least not in a legal context. In a generic rhetoric, you can say "charging this much for a loan really sucks, you're a giant douche if you do that" but legally if it's OK for the government shouldn't it be OK for others?

> Some ex-Goldman Sachs people brokered a deal that made Goldman whole at the cost we-the-people and with bad terms to A.I.G.

That misses the point, I think. It's perfectly fair for you as a taxpayer to complain that it's a sweetheart deal for Goldman and shouldn't be where your money goes. That's all fine, but it doesn't help AIG's claim that it's been mistreated.

The whole purpose of bailing out an insurance company is to make sure it can pay out its policies. The public has no interest in helping AIG's shareholders per se, so of course the government going to drive a deal that screws them as much as possible in the process of getting what it wants. And it should -- like the company, if it's going to make a deal, it should make one that best serves its stakeholders. And if AIG thought the deal sucked, it should have said no and entered bankruptcy (a perfectly reasonable thing for a company to do). But it took the deal because the board, who represents the shareholders, thought that was the better of its two options. So now their stuck with a deal that they wish were better, but I don't see why anyone owes them that.

In other words, maybe the public's best option was to let AIG fail, and maybe AIG's best option was to let AIG fail, but I don't see the scenario in which the government is being unfair to AIG.
"That's not true, the shareholders would only have gotten nothing if the creditors insisted on immediate payment / and/or liquidation."

Do you really think that the banks (already in the brink of bankruptcy) would have ponied up tens of billions so AIG would continue to operate?

I don't think you know how much of the world's finance AIG controlled via their insurance. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_International_Group#Fe...

The biggest problem with predatory lending is the salesmanship and opacity of terms that make the financial impact unclear to the person buying the loan.

In this case we're talking about extremely savvy investors who were given an offer that they accepted eyes wide open. If this was a bum deal, any anger should be directed at the directors/board rather than the government.
Would you accept this reasoning for any deal? Because there are many folks now that claim banks tricked them into accepting unfair deals - even though they were perfectly free to deny these terms and reject the deal. There are many other situations where you can be offered an unfair deal and still be able to sue even if it's voluntary transaction - e.g., if you are offered to be hired and because of your race, your employer says you'd be getting 10% less salary. If you don't like it, you can reject the job, nobody's forcing you. But the law still says offers like that are not legal. So the notion that there's a choice does not always mean the deal is OK. Obviously, the concept that if they had a choice, they cannot argue they were wronged does not work in current law. Why deals with the government should be an exception? The AIG may be indeed wronged or may be they are full of it, but unless you reject the whole legal tradition that there can be unfair deals, that needs to be figured out looking at the facts and can not be rejected just because they agreed to it.
Finding the inner programmer in every Googler
It's not impossible to achieve with Rails, it depends on what you put in your fat models. There is nothing which keeps you from having an intermediate business layer. I'm not sure how you would handle DI cleanly though, maybe it's possible with Rails 3? My brief experiments with Rails date from a few years ago, so I'm a bit fuzzy about this sort of details.

I'm confused about your comment regarding productivity. Either my recommendations are mostly valid, in the sense that they offer a distinct advantage over the current, Rails-y way of doing things, or they are not (but in which case you would need to make a cogent argument for why they are not). If they are, surely recognizing the shortcomings of a particular design/set of accepted practices is a benefit.

The fact that Rails 3 has undergone significant architectural changes with the merge of Merb shows that Rails did not emerge perfect from the thigh of DHH. And we all strive to improve ourselves and the tools we work with (or alternatively, for those of us for whom this is not an option, we stay with PHP or VB and stare blindly at people talking about "MVC").
Why didn't you just call me a liar and have done with it? The majority of this post were criticising Google based on their blocking Windows Phone access to maps, based on extremely spurious notions. To counter, your history is mostly praise for Google and reproaching those that criticise them.

In short, I have nothing to prove. The battery life on my unsupported, Google branded phone has been poor from day one, as has the other Android devices that I have owned. Google now in my experience has added to the load and not provided me with anything that I consider useful. It's as much a gimmick as Siri, which has the same issues but is marginally less needy.
That's cute, but most of the "magic" is hidden behind the require line. That's somewhat breaking the rules I think (compare that to Perl poetry such as the Black Perl).

Aurora is a good compromise. I was on nightly for a few months, and I had one or two times where something would break. Usually it was just a GUI element getting misaligned from some change. The worst was when it broke web video for a day.

I wish there was a reliable Aurora channel on Arch. The pkgbuild system isn't well suited to keeping up to date with a moving filename target like Firefox.

The government is not a money lender, it rescued AIG even forcibly one might say because of the doomsday risks it posed to the rest of the economy (they were underwriters on trillions of derivative contracts). The AIG bosses should be happy that they weren't tried in a court of law for issuing fraudulent CDS insurance. All said the circumstances regarding AIG were exceptional and the banking jargon doesn't apply here.
I dislike the term 'waste' when referring to software licensing over 'free' software. As I said, it's not as simple as you are suggesting. I pointer out training (semantically, it is training), but there are other costs and factors to consider. I'm not suggesting for one minute that OSS is a bad choice, just that it is not necessarily the most cost effective in short to medium term.
You are right, but I do think it ties into the larger "corporations are people" thing that has been bothering people since the campaign finance reform law was overturned.
As I said in other comment, would you be willing to support this notion for any deal? E.g., if the offer is very clear and not opaque at all - say, you are in desperate need of a job, and some employer offers you a salary that is 10% lower than legal minimal wage and 20% lower that is common in your profession, and openly says this is because of your gender and race and he knows you gender and race are lazy and unproductive, but since he's low on money he's willing to hire you for low price - would you say such clear and open offer be fine? Current law considers it illegal and unfair, do you reject this concept and would you vote for a politician that would support repealing such laws and declare any voluntary contract which is clear to both sides to be legal? If you would, you would find yourself in very tiny minority in contemporary America. Most people think that some deals are unfair even if both sides agreed on it - and unfairness may stem from many things, difference in power one of them. Powers of AIG management and US government at that moment were obviously very different - so why it is inconceivable to consider that it may be that US government used his advantage to deal unfairly? We know lots of other cases where people in power used their powers to deal unfairly, why it couldn't happen in this particular case? It may or not may happened indeed - that's why you need a court to figure it out - but I don't see, in current legal system, how you can reject the notion that it can be possible in principle.

Or you're missing a connection between the two.
The government is a huge money lender, what you're talking about? The government lent tons of money to tons of companies, and will do it again whenever it would want to. As for if AIG bosses did something criminal or not, that's completely unrelated question to the question if the deal AIG as a company got was fair or not. Exceptional circumstances also have little to do with it - either the deal was fair, and then they don't matter, or it was not, and then circumstances are no excuse. Banking jargon has nothing to do with it either - there are plenty of examples in US law where unfair deals are considered illegal and one can be punished for doing such deals.
I agree, nightly does break badly from time to time. Beta or aurora are better bets.

It's both mindblowing and disgusting the extent which banks have manipulated things to the point where they have their cake and eat it too.
Seriously though, this is by far the best solution if you have the space. Just design your bathroom so that you have to round a corner (or place some other obstruction behind the doorway) to move bathroom users out of the line of sight. No outward-swinging door killing people, no outward-swinging door trapping people inside, no germs.
Thanks for that, that was quite enlightening.

Well, it really only makes sense to not put a higher priority if the main target user base would be desktop users. However, if they are trying to target Surface RT users or something similar, it would make a lot of sense to go for something that works right now because desktop mode is pretty much unusable without mouse/trackpad.
My guess would be that you can wash your hands when you first get into the bathroom. That is when your hands are the dirtiest.

I agree with samstave. I have been practicing Bujinkan for over 15 years. It is more about body awareness and economy of motion than learning how to hurt someone in multiple ways. There will always be the Ashida Kim's of the world.

Bujinkan is also not just about Ninjutsu. It is actually a collection of 9 different martial arts ryūha under one school. Only 3 of the ryūha are considered Ninjutsu or Ninpō ryūha. Of the other 6 ryūha some were of samurai family origins.

In Bujinkan there are those tend to focus on the whole ninja aspect and they don't tend to last too long. Then there are those who start out interested in the ninja aspect of the martial art and find an amazing system that has a whole lot more to offer than black Gis and tabi shoes.
