This is the same hyperpartisan Senator who was at the forefront of the effort to deny habeas rights to Guantanamo inmates; he was also involved in the Bush wiretapping scandal.

Expect to see lots of superficial genuflection from Republicans towards the Swartz case; the GOP is in a constant low-grade conflict with the Democratic DoJ.

Here, let me put it this way: what do you honestly think Aaron Swartz would think about this clown using his name to score political points?
Thanks. What exactly is a gifted list? Is it a club you join, a newsletter you subscribe to, or a specific organization? Do you have any recommendations?
While Dr. King is primarily remembered as a civil rights leader, he also championed the cause of the poor and organized the Poor People’s Campaign to address issues of economic justice. Dr. King was also a fierce critic of U.S. foreign policy and the Vietnam War.

In his “Beyond Vietnam” speech, which he delivered at New York’s Riverside Church on April 4th, 1967, a year to the day before he was assassinated, Dr. King called the United States, quote, “the greatest purveyor of violence in the world today.” Time magazine called the speech “demagogic slander that sounded like a script for Radio Hanoi.” The Washington Post said King, quote, “diminished his usefulness to his cause, his country, his people.”

Today, we’ll let you decide. We play an excerpt of Dr. King’s speech “Beyond Vietnam.”

You do know that there's a difference between psychiatry and psychology, right?
agreed. I don't believe those who left were unhappy, rather they thought that they had more upside by going to Color. Obviously, it didn't pan out. "Genius?" No, just luck for Apple, less so for the employees.
That's the problem. Its now public that Elon made the offer. If it was done quietly, that would be a different story. Maybe he did make the offer quietly, but it was refused.

Boeing fly F-16s and Lockheed sometimes fly F/A-18s. I've heard stories about the engineers/test pilots exchanging safety of flight related information to a competitor. This is done with full permission of both companies.
I'll give you that. Ortiz's statement is impersonal. But on the flipside, any acknowledgement of any impact that the prosecution may have had in Aaron's suicide could be instrumental in a suit, so her hands are somewhat tied.

Certainly, though, I'm not disputing that the default mode of many in law (when acting as an attorney) is CYA.
Don't forget John Skeet and a forward by James Gosling. I want to say this book took me longer than a year to complete.
This is very interesting, I always thought of Australian natives as having been a part of an out-migration of similar populations (remnants of which still exist, e.g., Andamanese in India, small populations in Thailand, Malaysia, and Philippines, etc...) from South/South-East Asia -- with intermarriage between further migrations (Indo-European speakers, Austronesians, etc...) and these remnant populations leading to form the different ethnic groups along the route of migration.

I wonder if another possible explanation for the Dravidic SNPs is due to intermarriage with Indonesian population -- themselves probably bearing some Dravidic DNA due to India's influence on Indonesia at one time -- that traveled to Northern Australia from the late middle ages until early 20th century for fishing and trade purposes.
Except that that is exactly the thesis that the article has rather convincingly demonstrated to be completely unproven.
It may still be true, but we don't now. And I am not sure that Bodoni will beat Gill on the "visual cohesion to lines" metric, Bodoni is quite static and vertcal, while Gill is rather flowing.

Colossal Cue Adventure: a Zork-style text-based programming adventure game
There already is an efficient multithreaded C version on the shootout site. I don't know if that's what people would consider good production code, but at least it isn't laughably bad.

Not to mention whatever crap is in the torrents themselves.
It would be helpful to know what age range the app is aimed at.
Are customers not concerned that stripe is storing their CC info for any use in the future?

I normally uncheck the "Save This Card" option, with Stripe they don't allow this.
Looks great. Any plans to include a coupon code field with this?
I agree - if you're comparing runtime implementations.

I think this is actually a useful comparison, though. I would argue it's a lot easier to become a proficient, performance-conscious programmer in python, java, or even Haskell, than C. And you're more likely to shoot yourself in the foot with C.

From the point of view of someone who hasn't learned either language (maybe a scientist or engineer looking to do some simulation work), the message here is, "with the same time and effort, not only is Haskell as fast as C in many cases, but in some cases it will actually be faster than the C code that you, a beginner, can write."
This seems like a good thing, no? A Senator listening to his constituents.
There is certainly a potential to build a tolerance to stimulants, and that's one possible reason to switch drugs. As you said, it varies from person to person. For drugs with minimal withdrawal symptoms, like ritalin, it is also possible to mitigate tolerance effects by taking regular vacations from the medication.

Out of curiosity, have you had to increase your dosage significantly as an adult? It is common for people to need to increase their dosage during adolescence because their bodies change, and that's not necessarily indicative of a tolerance effect.
In that case, his response was also one of casual exclaim - complete with a smiley that meant he's at a loss of words.

Not an excuse - when your job's doing customer service better.
Could blocking Keystone XL pipeline be bad for the environment?
Dear stripe,

Hurry up and offer a ckeckout with stripe option. I'm tired of dealing with Paypal. Thank you.
The paragraph beginning with "To put it another way, C is no longer close to the real machine" really drove the point home. The further C gets away from the real machine then the less useful C will become. Higher-level languages have the advantage that a compiler can more easily determine what the program is attempting to accomplish and optimize the result for a specified architecture. This will be very difficult to do for C. As a result I would expect the performance of higher-level languages to start exceeding the performance of C. I guess we're just going to have to change our conventional wisdom when that time comes.

Yes I did. No, it doesn't seem dishonest, because the whole sentence reads, "Medication use decreased by 62% after the 14-month controlled trial, but adjusting for this did not change the results."

Also, I would like to point out that studies cannot force the patients to take medication. If the people taking the medication are terminating their own treatment, don't you think that's a little bit of a warning sign? I've seen recordings of interviews with kids where they talk about how much they hate their adhd meds, and how the meds affect their personalities. In contrast, adults don't seem to have the same pattern of disliking the effects. To the best of my knowledge, no one's figured that one out yet.
Looking forward to seeing your results from this.
Terms of use are rules. Terms of use are the contract you establish with a party when they agree to render services to you. Just because it's "a website" doesn't mean shit.

Anyway, I don't care how accomplished you are, you don't get to decide that you don't like an arbitrary subset of the social contract and hence should be exempt from it. You are welcome to construct an argument against those rules and attempt to persuade others to your cause. But an argument for exceptionalism is no excuse for bypassing normal, democratic channels for political change.

Honestly I don't see why this point is so hard to understand. Aaron thought he had the answer to society's ills. You know what, everyone thinks that. Grumpy old men pissed off at immigration think they have the answer. The Unabomber thought he had the answer. It is one of the key advantages of democracy that we do not let individuals who think they have the answer just march in and change things as they see fit.

Why The Dell Buyout Is Our Last Hope
Irrespective of the content on TPB, I've been redirected to pages I didn't want to go to while on the site.
Why not? What's wrong with being the second to provide a useful service?
there isn't many test numbers if I can remember correctly. 4111-1111-1111-1111 is another.
Musk isn't some random dude. Between SpaceX, Tesla, and SolarCity, he probably knows a thing or two about putting large things in the air and electric batteries.

He's also said he would ultimately like to make electric airplanes, so this is probably not the first day he's thought about it.
It's a real testament to the safety practices of modern aircraft design, manufacture, maintenance, and management. I'm not convinced that someone from the space industry, which by the statistics has worse results, would have anything to teach them.

It would be great if some of the aircraft industry's techniques could influence IT (although admittedly many of the things we do are less life-threatening than flying at 35,000 ft). It would be even better if they could influence medicine. Far too many people die because there is no systematic measurement and analysis of medical practice.
Can you define "workers"? How much are you paying them? What's the total monthly overhead? Can you reliably predict next year's revenue, or is it just a back-of-the-napkin estimate? Do you need to hire more "workers" as the site grows? How much work would it take for a company to replicate your current offering from scratch? How much are the assets (domain, website, etc) worth? Will the website remain profitable indefinitely or is it reliant on a current trend? How much time does the founder/owner need to spend monthly to run it?

You need to take a ton of factors into account before you can ask for any advice. You could also try your luck at listing it on Flippa.com or something similar.
You should asking yourself why things got to that point. It's unlikely they will when clients feel they are getting value from your product/service and are being treated fairly.
Health Data Breach - Yet Another Flashdrive Fail (YAFF)
Like an email list. Google "Hoagies gifted page". She should have a list of resources. Pick one, or a few, and sign up. Stick with whichever one works for you. Read the discussion, surf the archives, pick up a few popular books. Your view of your child will evolve and you will be more able to determine if you need to seek intervention for a handicap or just up the intellectual "diet". :-)

Edit: My fossilized list of recommendations:
http://www.kidslikemine.com/archive/supportontheweb.shtml

It isn't remotely current. I am very out of the loop. But Hoagies is linked there and she should have more current info.
> But on the flipside, any acknowledgement of any impact that the prosecution may have had in Aaron's suicide could be instrumental in a suit, so her hands are somewhat tied.

I fully agree with that and noted exactly that earlier in another thread. And because that risk exists it would be a real breath of fresh air if she had accepted the possibility of responsibility. At a minimum she could have asked for an external party to investigate if this was all done properly. Categoric denial was exactly the wrong thing to do.
We figured this would be good for some Friday fun! Admittedly, a few of the problems are solvable by hand, and we wish there were more jokes about gnus, but overall we just hope you enjoy playing as much as we enjoyed building it.
This reminds me very much of my own father, though he wasn't a gamer. Coming from an older generation, his great love was books, and I loved it when he gave me a beat up old book from the 1940s, told me he read it many times, and "thought I might find it interesting." Looking back, I know he too faced anxiety about sharing these important, secret parts of his past: "will my son find this as captivating and glorious as I did, or will he put it aside -- or worse, read it to keep my feelings from being hurt?"

As a now out-of-the-house "adult", I can say that sharing your past with your children is perhaps the most profound and meaningful way you have to connect with them as a father -- at least this was my experience. Sons especially, I think, really want that connection to their dads. It helps them understand who their father was, what he was like as a child.
I took the very first course when it was a Stanford experiment and I have to say that was a lot of fun! It feels a bit downgraded in terms of difficulty but quality wise was very good.
Wow. You're making your company look like complete idiots here, to be honest.

"cant replicate it" directly to the customer in a 3 word non-sentence from the co-founder? Really? From what's supposed to be a "customer service" company? WTF?

This should have been handled by competent support stuff who know how to talk to users. You should be apologizing for whatever it is and telling them that while you have not been able to reproduce it after many many hours of testing, you'd really like to the bottom of this mysterious issue, and then go on to suggest some steps to try and track the issue down.

... WTF.
Pypush
Many (most?) CC processors use that number, as it is easy to remember and passes the Luhn checksum.
Regarding #3, when practicing Vipassana as taught by Goenka, you do indeed start with anapana, both in the courses (the first 3 1/2 days are only focusing on breath) and in daily practice.
Sometimes, "Fuck out" is the most polite, concise, and well reasoned response someone can give, because it points out how you've been treating them.

What you fail to realize, even to this day, is that you said "Fuck you" to him FIRST.

Then when he called you on it, you did it again.

You blew him off with a three word response that doesn't give him anything to go on, or any reason to believe that you were taking him seriously.

Then when he called you on your failure to provide adequate service (or an explanation of why you couldn't or even, have given him anything to go on to try and move the ball forward)... rather than recognize that message for what it was (A repetition of what you said to him) you made it even worse!

Your final response is blowing him off, telling him that he's not an important customer, that you care much more about having your anus licked very carefully, than about the issue at hand.

YOU made it personal. First by blowing him off, then when he (quite politely, frankly) pointed this out to you, you made it all about him.

Worse, you've now gone and written a blog post.

This whole affair is all about how your delicate sensibilities are far more important to you than solving a customers problem.

Worse, it wasn't even sufficient to simply blow him off, you had to do it PUBLICLY by writing this blog post... while smugly lecturing us on good customer service?

Frankly, I would be astounded, but there seems to be a lot of this kind of attitude going around silicon valley these days.

I think its what you get when you get kids right out of college and have them do "startups" without them ever having any real life experience.

I suspect pointing this out to you is not going to make any sense. You clearly think you were in the right, and you may not be able to conceive of how you might not be. That's the problem.

That you work for a company all about "customer service" is pretty rich irony, though.

You just told everyone over 30 that, when push comes to shove, you care more about finding an excuse to blow them off.
But would "Came I saw, conquered I I" have made as much of an impression? Deviating from a ruleset is different from failing to adhere to it at all.
I'm sure this senator is doing this for political points (+10 points for Gryffindor), but we can still be glad for the pressure applied to the DOJ.
I believe the reason for this is that it's one of the simplest card numbers that passes the Luhn check:

Report: VCs were cautious in 2012 but plan to be ‘active’ in 2013
Yes, this is most definitely a proxy in the ongoing political battle between the Senate Republicans and the DoJ. It's a little surprising that he would side with Aaron just to take a potshot at the U.S. attorney's office.

It's also worth pointing out that Texas (at least until recently) had some of the best open-records laws in the country. Cornyn argued that the Feds should emulate Texas in this regard -- during the Bush administration: http://gritsforbreakfast.blogspot.com/2005/03/cornyn-foia-sh...
This was a friendly jab. I have a few friends that work as a technicians and engineers, so i know what the challenges in the industry are.

But battery overheating problem seems like someone underestimated the problem gravely - it is not something new or surprising.
The Apple double standard
Or perhaps he's simply being responsive to his constituents here in Texas, some of whom took the time to urge him to act.

I'm proud to have him as a Senator.
No. The response was so disproportionate to his actions that no reasonable person would have expected it.
Strange, on my machine this file only contains the URL from when I installed Firefox and a bunch of URLs for Adium updates. Not any of the many other things I've downloaded...

Is it only listing things downloaded through Safari?
yeah, I know it's cliche, but it's true: you make time for the things you want to have time for.

Exercise is very important for me, too, and I do it almost every day. I also meditate an hour every day. It just means I have an hour less of watching tv or browsing facebook, or something like that.

What made me stick to it, and mostly what made me realize its importance, was I made it a new year's resolution in 2011 to meditate every day for 30 minutes. It had such a huge impact on the quality of my life that I haven't stopped, and I've increased it to an hour a day.
The torrents have actually been quite high quality, especially if you stick by those uploaded by trusted community members.

I'll agree they need to put a tighter leash on their advertisers, though.
Crazy Competition Just Got Crazier
In the third world, price is a bigger concern than ecosystem. People will buy the cheapest phone that offers some smartphone features. Right now, this product selection is limited to Bada and the lowest-end Android phones. Nobody else caters to this market.
Certainly. The current games we have in there are for age ranges 4-6, but it varies drastically on individual abilities of children. Right now the lessons include most stuff that would taught to a first grader in mathematics.

We plan to have lessons and games in there for age ranges 4-9 in the next couple of months.

I also want to say that these games also adapt to the child's skill level as they play in order to not make kids frustrated
The "H" in "HBCU" is the important part, and everybody already knows what the HWCU's are: everything else.
Mainly lower hardware requirements.
Very cool and useful. I was reading the desc and pretty much thinking this is useless because of rsynch, etc... until the line about git integration.
I put the biggest gimmick right there in my post. What does "how many votes are needed" have to do with returns on state retirement funds?

This is not barking up trees from years ago. They have done nothing to address the structural problems in the state budget.
Cite your sources, please. I'd be interested in reading a legitimate claim to this as a link to a credible source rather than taking the top post for face value on a delicate subject.
It's really starting to feel this way. I think it's still ok for developers building apps/games that uses Facebook platform but for a platform or any startup with some sort of social graph might want to think twice about it.
?veni, vidi, vici failed the model?
Our diets could always be improved, I wasn't endorsing the current state of things so much as responding to the old canard about sugar causing hyperactivity.
Yeah I'm interested in using this to sell physical goods, outside of Apple's domain.
All Facebook V6 IPs :face:b00c: are down.
Er, that might also be Host Monster. Not sure.
That argument seems pretty iffy to me. If people post links to pages that contain malware in HN comments, should HN be tagged as a malware distributor?
Wow such irony in this post, we sit here and cry fowl of unjust and harsh treatment and on face value it smells likes a case of prosecution overreach right in our own backyard.

Resource Not In Archive

The Resource you requested is not in this archive.
Indeed not. The useful point this article makes, I think, is that if you're a good Haskell programmer and a competent C programmer, you can produce working code in both, but you can still produce better-performing code in Haskell.

Essentially, the lesson is that there's little point writing code in C for performance unless you're good at it. If you can write good-enough code in a higher-level language that you're happy with, you might already have reached an optimum.

> Crimes do not, as a rule, become "better" or "worse" based on why someone does them.

Yes they do. Intent is usually taken into account during sentencing, for example.
> it has basic logical underpinnings

I'm not sure what you mean. More specifically, what logical underpinnings does language have that communication doesn't? For me, communication is the transfer of ideas from one brain to another, and I would define language as the means of doing so. So you can't have one without the other.
Neurobiology isn't a soft science.
Another reason why open rates are meaningless.
My company has a variety of 3D printers and we actually produced several iPhone case/adapters in the past. It's a small company, so we all helped out by testing different case designs.

The first round of testing involved a simple case design utilizing all of the plastics and printers that we have available. Most plastics were too brittle and would crack when you snapped them on the iPhone. In fact, only 1 ABS was usable. The consumer models had a hard time with the curved surfaces and felt much grainier in the hand. But once I tried out the final soft-touch part that was produced using injection modeling, I would never go back to the 3D printed model. The difference it feels in your hand is night and day. Oh, and the mass produced cases cost < $.10 per unit. I think we spend more on packing than parts themselves.

3D printers are great for prototyping and hobbyists doing 1-offs. But the tech has a way to go before being useful to the average consumer.
I guess this should help disabling. But I can't confirm as I'm not near my Mac test this.
