The problem is not admitting influences, of course there always are triggers, be them external or internal. The problem is quoting a single influence as the only or primary cause, especially if it's an external trigger, as that can motivate other depressed people to go over the line.

And that's why suicide is indeed special here, but in a different sense: it's special because random careless talk on a forum can be such a trigger, or be the seed of a future trigger.

Of course one cannot be held accountable for such an event, but given it's simple and free to avoid simplifying the causes of suicide, why not avoid it?
Actually I think just having the head tracking for your view, while sitting in a fixed cockpit with your hands on static controls (HOTAS), will make this a killer application for flight sims and similar simulations. There's already head tracking for flight sims that lets you move your view around (TrackIR, Freetrack) and having relatively static controls like a HOTAS means you don't have to worry too much about looking at your hands. I ordered one of these dev kits and am looking forward to trying it out like this.
doh! thanks for letting me know.

To my knowledge Firefox has had support for IndexedDB for a long time without a vendor-prefix. Why does the page claim that it doesn't? Is there a bug in the implementation? A missing feature?
In response to your parent, there's also the movie by Wim Wenders "Until the end of the world"

Where IIRC a scientist creates a device that can record dreams and his wife becomes totally addicted to the experience and just can't stop playing and re-playing her dreams.

I think it's in Until the end of the world but cannot swear it ; )

Good movie anyway...

And then there's the movie which is a reflection on immersive videogame as the main plot: David Cronenberg's Existenz. Existenz is considered a flop by many, but an underrated movie by quite some people too.

Trial wasn't a good choice. He could've ended up in prison for 10+ years that way, and probably didn't have the $1+ million for legal fees to have a decent chance of avoiding that outcome. A plea bargain or fleeing to one of the few corners of the world where the US can't grab you were the only realistic choices other than suicide.

> Anyway, the main point that has totally gone over your head, is that one should never, ever, encourage suicide.

I'm not encouraging suicide in general. I'm saying it can be a viable option, no depression necessary. By being realistic about suicide being a viable option we might better save people on the brink by better understanding their thinking, rather than assume that the choice of suicide is always bad and taboo to discuss.
I don't think he's talking about real skeuomorphism, but the common practice of referring to anything that that looks like a real world object as skeuomorphic, even when it actively hurts user interaction.

iCal has become a classic example. It's been covered with faux leather to make it look "better", even though in the Lion version was actually harder to use than the "digital" Snow Leopard version.

The way both of you are talking about trading this stock indicates that you both aren't qualified to trade.

But then again - there aren't any tests to pass before one can trade - so trade away.

But remember - you both look like dancing pigeons to professional traders (http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Skinner_box).

The extended attribute records that the file is quarantined, but it doesn't contain the detailed information about where the file came from. It just has an identifier that's used to look up in the database. For example, here's the quarantine info for a file in my Downloads folder: 0002;50e77ce1;Safari.app;BF047C49-2539-4536-A584-E69FDE328A2C. I don't know what the first two fields are, but the third is the app that downloaded it, and the forth is a UDID, which is presumably the identifier for the quarantine event.

Furthermore, even once a file is out of quarantine, the Get Info dialog can still tell you where it was downloaded from, precisely because of this database.
That's not so much a "sane defaults dotfile" as a highly-opinionated personal defaults dotfile. I don't consider that a bad thing, but do at least give it the deserved appellation.
I've not had or needed a TV licence for the last 4 or so years. Initially the tv licencing people were chasing me up constantly, sending letters to which i just had to respond to say "I still don't need a licence", a few visits to the house etc (all this is kind of tantamount to harassment really), but eventually they backed off.

As for needing a tv licence at all, I don't see why anybody does in the era of broadband. Streaming videos is allowed without a TV licence, provided the stream is not live, so you can even watch video on BBC iPlayer, legitimately. Combined with every other terrestrial channel's free online offerings and more recently netflix, there is no need to pay a tithe to the BBC. It really is a simple adjustment but it gives decent savings.

don't think that's the underlying point at all. A functional Language gives the compiler more room to optimize - the compiler has more information because a functional language let's the programmer express constraints in ways imperative languages can't - the compiler fundamentally knows more and thus can generate better machine code. The productivity benefits of HLLs are secondary to this discussion.
The batteries are not for IFE. One is for starting the APU (a generator that starts the main engines and supplies power on the ground), and the other is for supplying the critical systems when both engines and the APU fail simultaneously (i.e., they run out of gas).

When the engines are turning, there is no shortage of power for amenities.

They used LiIon batteries for the same reason your laptop and phone do: they're small and have good energy density. The older technologies are not. Weight is a big deal and when you want 10% better fuel economy than you had before, you need to cut every gram.
Sure, but that's the same inspirational quote every time.

FWIW: Getting state from ZIP would break some edge case users.

zip->state is not a many to one mapping, it's many to many.

Example: Zip code 19973 spans both maryland and delaware.

https://www.google.com/maps/vt/data=Ay5GWBeob_WIPLDYoIWcfVXx...

The dashed vertical line is the maryland/delaware boundary.

You can see there are people both in maryland, and delaware, who have that zip code. The post office is in seaford, de.

This actually came up in the real world in some elections stuff, because these folks often list their mailing address as in seaford, de, but vote in maryland ;)

I think the biggest problem is that they charge for their operating system, which is fine for the Lumia 920, but isn't practical on low end phones where Nokia actually still has some market share. Or at least not practical at the rates Nokia is obliged to pay.
To clarify his point about high resolution displays: they do make one very important design element look better, and that's typography.

Whereas on a low-resolution display a flat, typography-based design might look empty and bland, on a hi-dpi screen it can look gorgeous.

Of course, textures also look better on a hi-dpi screen. But the point still remains that Metro-style design has now become an option on iOS thanks to retina displays.

commodities, which already have a market price

Balls. Go to a commodity exchange and you know how you find the price? The last price paid at auction.

Sometimes the negotiation is disguised, using an order book or dealer system.

But sometimes they even explicitly run a call auction.

All Wall Street is is a continuous auction house.

All Supply/Demand is is a continuous auction.

The original song really didn't have a melody, and Coulton's version clearly does. If his melody is original, it seems like this has to be a violation of copyright. Certainly the melody of the Glee version is identical to Coulton's.

Hopefully something good comes out of it for Coulton in the end.

The stock dropped from $550 two weeks ago and there was much discussion about whether this was stock price manipulation or whether the quarter was disappointing. Of course it could be both. The former now looks certain and we'll find out if it's the latter on Tuesday.
No no no. Artistic copyright only matters to CONGLOMERATE media companies; not silly artists the laws should really be protecting!
Yes, you 'deploy' the .war file in the webapps Tomcat subfolder. But when Tomcat is started, it extracts the file (which is essentialy a .zip arhive) in the same folder.

This could even actually be done by the user before storing it on the cloud service and finding duplicates would be trivial server-side. (Though I don't see much incentive for a person to do this since it only benefits the hoster.) For example, in the Mega interface, a user could specify the length of the convergence key (random salt that inversely affects the likelyhood of de-duplication on the host) with a default length of 0. This would then be part of the "key" proper, as those bits are required to access the original file.
FTB must act in accordance to the law. If you feel that they are not doing so, why aren't you filing a case? You make it sound like you have more at stake here than Cutler.

EDIT: If talking to legal and tax expects leaves you only feeling "upset" instead of "seeking remedy", then it seems that what the FTB did is in accordance to the law, and that you simply don't like it.
I'm just saying practically. Where will the money come from? Politics aside, how are you going to be able to afford it at all, without inflation?
Heh, I meant it as an actual question, is there a regulatory process for changing batteries. I could see something like this either being covered or not.

"If someone could next show what makes type systems so interesting in terms that I'll understand then I'll be well on my way into the modern functional programming world.. :-)"

That question is very weird. Not all functional programming languages are statically typed (btw the answerer specifically mentions that we're talking about static typing here).

For example I'm having lots of fun with monads in Clojure right now. Very functional. Not statically typed at all.
The JC version has a distinct melody/arrangement, so qualifies as an original work. The lyrics are not.
Well, what age are they? I'd say age and abstractness of their thought process dictate how to teach them.

I'd argue that you start learning programming concepts in everyday life, early on, just nobody explains them to you.

The lunch line at school. Line Up, first in, first out. Right?

Not a fan of most of it. The people that complain about git's unintuitive interface are also not going to spend time learning how to use this either.

This doesn't improve git. It just complicates things. Stick to the interface git gives you and define your own intuitive aliases based on the ones you use the most.

The most effective way to work is to self-assess.

Exactly, the music is different enough that the entire production counts as an original work, whereas the Glee version has neither, and thus would be considered a cover.
I would agree. I was just expressing rage at comcast more than anything. hbo was a collateral casualty.
"everytime you open your browser , by showing you quote".
That amount of typos is terrible.
If you actually believe that it's "artificial", then sure. There are hundreds of billions of dollars looking for situations like this, if the money managers actually believed the absurd conspiracy theories. Many HN visitors seems foolishly naive in the belief that a couple of players make the market (clearly because they have a personal interest. Never before have I seen such an interest in the stock market, or this feeling of profound victimization because it doesn't always move in one direction), when there are tens of thousands of very large players in the market, all of which want to screw every other player to the greatest extent possible.

If AAPL were underpriced, there would be enormous buy pressure to the point that it is no longer underpriced.

(Sidenote: Among one of the loudest proponents of the conspiracy theory is John Gruber, who today proclaimed that $500 proved it. Only the article he linked actually said $550. It turns out that there are psychological pivot points that are often hit nearing close. The market is made by people, and people understand and gravitate to emotional numbers)

I understand that this concerns copyright issues which may be germane to the issue in the tech world, but is mass media drama such as this truly qualified as "news for hackers"?

12 year meditator here, too. Nice to meetcha!

Regarding the austerity of breathing: I've found that not forcing the eyes closed does the trick. It is far easier for my mind to wander, at first, with my eyes closed. With eyes open, but relaxed enough to close on their own (and they usually do) I get a constant reminder that I'm meditating not just day dreaming.

(And, if you read the Satipatanasutta you'll notice that the Buddha never instructs the meditator to close their eyes. :)
I don't quite follow. Exchange-traded options are American-style options -- they can be exercised any day until the expiration date. Somebody who owns a call option @ $500 can exercise it profitably as long as the bid goes above $500 at any point before it expires. Why is the closing price on the last day so important?
I speculate that upvoters here include fans of "Code Monkey" and "Re: Your Brains".
Aren't those the numbers that were released back in september? When they cut their revenue forecast from 600m to 400m?

Tesla hasn't released any numbers for 2012 yet.. so unless you work there, you have no idea if they will break 400m for 2012. And even if you do work there, 1b for 2013 is pure speculation on your part.

Tesla was cash flow positive in November and will probably turn profitable sometime in 2013. It's currently got way more reservations than production capacity, although production capacity is already at the stated 2013 goal of 20,000 cars per year.

Presumably production is still being scaled up, since Tesla is still planning and opening up stores all over the US and doing this without scaling production would just create unmet demand. The level of vitrol from some commenters in this thread is unwarranted.

I was having a boyfriend. We were known for long time only through phone. Suddenly through some event we met together and we promised we will be together for ever. Both of us are married and not satisfied with the present spouse. But because of some misunderstanding I quarreled with him and humiliated him in front of his friends. After that I realized my mistake and apologized with him like anything. He told me he will try to forget everything. After that we met once and he promised me everything happened because of misunderstanding and now we will together for ever.But after that we never met each other. when we plan to meet some hindrance will happen then it will stop. Also no proper communication. But for me he is my everything. He is the only one who gave such a good satisfaction in my life. I wanted him. I wanted him to meet me, to have sex with me, love me everything. He is very good.and l know He was made for me. But some hindrance keep keeping us apart. i tried to get close to him but nothing was working out until one day i heard about a spell caster called prophetharry@ymail. com, i decide to try his love spell and definitely it worked out perfectly for me, it never took time for the spell to start working, after some few days this guy i am loving came to me and wanted us to start dating, we are in love now, our lover is so tight that nothing can brings us apart, this love spell is wonderful
