I don't know how since I always check for crapware, but I ended up with babylon having taken over my firefox browser.
I removed it, but - just checking - oh look, there it is again.

Luckily, chrome is my go-to browser, (which explains why I haven't tried more brutal removals), but it is definitely not as simple as uninstalling.

This is the exact same argument the supporters of Ohio Senate Bill 5[1] used. One reason people in the public sector are willing to be paid less than their private counterparts is because their benefit plans are genuinely better. Saying they should eliminate one of the better benefits public sector employees get is stupid.

That would give a lot of false negatives, and most likely false positives as well. I presume a lot of first dates, if they are successful, include exchange of an external mode of communication, killing the use of OKCupid messaging between these two people.
Thanks for give detail and frank answer.

> Witch hunts only create a quick fix to our need to rationalise our anger and pain.

They are, at least sometimes, more then just that though. They can arise out of desire to make the world different so the same problem does not happen again, or to change community standards, and/or ones own judgment heuristics. Ultimately ineffective and undesired nonetheless. It is hard to come up with solutions that have a quick enough feedback to satisfy short attention spams as much as a which hunt will unfortunately.
Take a look at the Great State of Texas. It is quite free when it comes to gun laws. For example, I believe it is the only state in which you are allowed to use lethal force to defend your property.

And there's the added benefit that if you learn some basic Spanish, you can hire illegal immigrant labor to do all your housework and gardening for a pittance (this can be done without knowing Spanish, but then you end up wasting money on a middleman, and there are other benefits to knowing Spanish in Texas anyway).

They may add clarity and precision where I have made a gloss.

PMS Hacker and most Wittgensteinians come to this conclusion; it is largely the reason why they find any value in Freudian/Gestalt psychology: for the fact that these brands of psychology avoid, as much as they can, reductionist, and this is for the fact that their theories depend on building metanarratives _on top of_ "folk psychology" rather than attempting to undercut folk psychology with some more primitive theory. The whole debate turns on which theories have better "explanatory power" while preserving our intuitive notions of the brain. Wittgenstein criticized Freudians for mistaking "decision" for "discovery"; and this is exactly what "Crypto-Cartesians" do except what is discover is not a psychological law à la Freud, but rather a neurological law. Now, of course, in their own worlds, these laws make sense; there are law like relations between, say, joy and pain; their are laws between synaptic path/subsystems and the behavior of neurons. However, talking about those laws does not give us direct insight into the _organism for which those laws have constituted_.

It should be clear that if free will is not possible, then we must wonder why we decided to look inside the brain, rather than the foot, to discover why it is not possible. The problem, like with the Freudians, is that identity claims like You === Your Brain are a matter of decision, not discovery. We might decide and agree such identity claims, but not without doing severe damage to the common language which we use to identify correlations and criteria which support as evidence those claims.

What these scientists are trying to do is make their position _compelling_; that is the fundamental problem here since engaging in such "justificatory" activity is a feature of science itself (i.e., peer review). This feature of the structure of scientific practice, by and large, makes it "absurd, on its face." These scientists attempt to pass off as discovery what can, by the nature of science itself, only be suggestion, persuasion, justification.

As others pointed out, you are plain wrong. The can be made (maybe) that new Android tablets are overtaking the iPad in performance. The fact is, Android tablets didn't really exist when the iPad was released, and the few that were on the market were laughably awful (like the original G1 compared to the iPhone).

> The main point is that action in government is slow. And for good reason. If people want to hold onto the fantasy that when a bunch of people get angry, the government will take drastic action...then fine...

Sandy Hook was one month ago and the President is having a big news conference tomorrow about the administrations response re: gun violence. Is that "slow"? "drastic action"? something else?

They've got tons of options. They could, for example, cut back the bloated private sector.

...but the governments are on the side of the government workers (most government workers are unionized and these funds lobby the politicians).

The result is that it becomes an "us vs them" fight, and while common citizens may theoretically have political power through the ballot box, in practice power is mostly exercised through campaign donations and backroom deals, so the politicians are taking the decisions that they're incentivized to take: stealing seed corn and feeding it to the public sector employees.
No. XML was the first serialization language with widely available drop-in libraries at all - it essentially pioneered that concept. As such, it was a freaking Godsend in the late 90's or so. Believe me, the ability to just link in expat and never have to worry about data serialization from C was so liberating you can't imagine it. (To me, anyway.)

Chrome is blocking TechCrunch articles?
I have no problem viewing the home page, but as soon as I go to an article I get a malware warning. Did they ad new tracking or something?
// check if we're toobusy() - note, this call is extremely fast, and returns
// state that is calculated asynchronously.
if (toobusy()) res.send(503, "I'm busy right now, sorry.");

Saying it is calculated "asynchronously" seems pretty confusing in this context. Maybe "is cached at a fixed interval"?

One possible step in social-search would be to allow users to full-text search (with smart keywords) their own timelines: that is, anything that they themselves have ever posted, along with comments from their friends.

By now, the average facebook user has accumulated so much "stuff" that it's hard to find certain memories...for example, you remember the caption of a photo (e.g. "kiss + in front of Times Square") but you can't find the photo because you have 20+ albums (which are incredibly hard to navigate). Search would help greatly here. And having filters to just look at all the times that you posted a relationship status, talked about a popular TV show, etc. would be great.

I don't know where FB could go next with this, though. Allowing that kind of search across all your Facebook network would be like the original News Feed controversy (years ago), times 10. I noticed that years after it launched, the feature to see the history between you and a friend is still buried. It's quite useful, but if it were more prominent, people would see it as very stalkerish (i.e. people checking on their significant others' interactions with friends they suspect of being possible cheaters)

I don't know what this even means. What's a "low reading angle"?

> instead of getting flung back in my face by an impatient editor

This is factually incorrect. The author was the editor, and the person doing the flinging was the founder.

> the experience was invaluable

I'm not a fan of just blunting telling the reader "you should care about this".

> it's time I shared how to write a good opening paragraph

Redundant. The title of the article is "How to Write an Opening Sentence".

I really don't think what you have here is an improvement.
You'd do it because it's

npm install toobusy

then somewhere in your project

require("toobusy");

If you only need one server that's going to be up to a lot faster than putting anything in front of it.

I'd prefer that solution too, especially since such proxies can mitigate some types of DoS attacks (e.g. known patterns in the "Referer" header, or from known IP address ranges) and load will generally be much lower if some of the popular content is cacheable.
Am I the only one embarrassed by the blatant errors in that petition? The first sentence is a run-on grammatical non sequitor. The rest of the petition conveys a muddled thought process that seems blinded by outrage. Did the author even bother to proofread that thing before submitting it?

There are plenty of other reasons to pass on this petition. That said, this displays less polish and thought than an email I typically send to my boss. I wouldn't blame the White House for ignoring a plea that reads more like a teenager's facebook rant. It certainly appears to have involved the same level of critical thinking.

They aren't inherently totally pointless. If they reach the 25,000 "signatures" required to trigger a response, that becomes somewhat of a news item more likely to spill into the mainstream news, thus drawing some attention to whatever the issue is, which is always somewhat helpful.

But certainly they are less effective than real protest, or real physical letters sent to lawmakers, so if done in lieu of those things then that's a problem.
No-Book Library? BiblioTech Is Coming
Are there any examples of really successful big name projects using third-party UI frameworks that cost money?

Anything I use in my apps has to be open source in case either I come across limitations or support is dropped. I can't create a dependency in my app that could severely cripple me in the future.

It seems like using Pixate would introduce a huge dependency on your application and everything that Pixate does is mapping down to something already done in UIKit or perhaps CoreGraphics. I can understand the allure of this framework because it would save you writing a lot of code yourself but when you come across a limitation (which you undoubtably will because not even the mighty UIKit does everything we need) and you implemented it yourself you can then easily make improvements rather than waiting for a third-party. Sure you could make requests but if Apple honoured every single improvement request on UIKit they would never ship.

As an iOS developer I'm already in bed with Apple but their track record with AppKit and UIKit speaks for itself. Their frameworks are black boxes but I can build upon the shoulders of giants. Third-party UI frameworks like this feel like I am constraining myself to very explicitly defined limitations and the second I cannot adhere to those limitations I must be the one to compromise instead of striking out on my own.

Is there something that I am missing with these third-party UI frameworks because the opportunity cost has always seem to be too high for me.

Can we just hurry up and address the real problem: California's constitution? We should just burn that flawed thing and start over.

Can you? yes.

But it's going to be very difficult.

Let's say you have a really popular open source project with an enterprise version (which pays your bills). Anybody can start up a competing app with similar features and either give it out for free or charge, making it more difficult for you to make money and stay in business.

The alternative is to have a service-based business. For one or two people, this isn't very scalable.
I think it'd be quite easy actually. You have no mutual friends, and you are both going into it with the exact same feeling. If either person is disinterested, it should be expressed immediately, as both parties are better off.
In Lawrence Lessig's essay titled "Prosecutor as Bully", he writes the following in his last paragraph:

Somehow, we need to get beyond the "I'm right so I'm right to nuke you" ethics that dominates our time.

If that's the case, threatening "vigilante justice" based on 25,000 signatures would seem to indicate those who want to see action against the prosecutors have failed to learn that lesson and are only interested in continuing the downward spiral.
I think these are actually one of the few things that can be done, showing the government, that there are many people unhappy about this case out there, and that something has to be changed.

It's true, that these petitions are not big deals, but usually things don't change rapidly, it's a process, and cutting the arms that hurt us is it's first step. Obviously, most probably they won't get cut, but at least they won't get promoted, for God's sake.

Unless you have another ideas of what to do?

> How's your health care? How much does that cost your employer?

This point is significant in and of itself. It's no coincidence that health insurance is a central point in just about every major recent union dispute.

Health insurance is wildly expensive, and the cost to private corporations is not to be underestimated. Anyone who's ever had to provide health insurance to employees is acutely familiar with these costs.

Good Leaders Are Invaluable To A Company. Bad Leaders Will Destroy It.
Actually XML is more "reach" format than JSON. XML nodes have attributes and values, when in JSON - values only. And lot of databases are "document-oriented": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Document-oriented_database and what is matters in comparison is parsing performance and size. JSON just more compact, but not better in all aspects.
I think XML is an excellent format, especially when size matters less than "dimensions" of presented information. I think it's perfect format for RSS and for REST API and for web-pages.

The bit about use tax isn't accurate.

If you don't pay Texas sales tax on something, which varies from 6.25% to 8.25% depending on the jurisdiction, you are supposed to pay the difference between Texas sales tax and the tax you paid elsewhere. You do this once, not annually.

This is not unique to Texas. Use taxes exist in almost every other state, including California and New York. Like everywhere else, use tax is often (usually) completely ignored by taxpayers. After all, it's not like we file a state income tax return down here. No one goes, looks up, and files the individual form for 'use tax'.

I don't pay franchise tax in Texas, and I'm not an affiliate marketer - but in my experience it's a rather low-tax jurisdiction with a rather low cost-of-living.
