Others will point out that this was a TEDx talk, and so somewhat removed from the central brand.

But TED itself has hosted a talk with a similar level of pseudo-science woo-woo: Elaine Morgan pushing the "Aquatic Ape" theory.

The Pauls are not neoconservatives, that is for sure. They are traditional paleoconservatives.

There are few politicians we'll agree on everything with. I think that political parties are just dangerous hiveminds. Republican, Democrat, Libertarian, Green, ALL parties are inundated with dogma.

My votes go to politicians who are sincere, honest, and intelligent. Not to republicans or democrats.
How did you folks decide to proceed with private messaging as the next big feature? (It might seem like a natural next step, but with many apps offering messaging and Path seemingly alright with not having it for a while, it seem logical not to too).

A pat on the back on whoever came up with the tick button in messaging. Awesome. Would love to know how that came about too.
Hacker News thread started 89 days ago about suggestions for vetting TEDx speakers (including advice in the original post, submitted by ColinWright, that was perhaps not followed in the incident described in today's thread):

that's cool. we'll keep going and hope to win you as a user at some point :) appreciate your feedback.
Rotating setting gear now? Please stop preemptively copying what we do ;)
Yes,

I didn't mean to imply this use would be unimportant. This could be huge.
Really enjoyed it. But was I the only one who took more time on 5 than 6/7 which were less than 30 seconds? Is the difficulty out of whack?
There's no fee, you apply online for a free TEDx license.
would enjoy doing coffee. let me know when you are in town. i recommend un-friending those folks and recruiting your family. i promise if you get your family on, you will really love it as a personal space for trusted sharing.
Thank you for the detailed answer.

Go 1.1 (to be released early next month) is across the board faster than 1.03.

The ab tool is not ideal for testing the Go http server because the Go server is not tuned to ab's quirks. Siege might be better.

The mgo client has the most bells and whistles, but it's probably not the fastest client for Go. One of the other clients might perform better.

Why are the Go Redis clients not capable of working with Gorilla? A couple of the clients are well written and are fully functional.
My greatest reservation about TDD is one that's almost never referred to by its practitioners: the need for strong refactoring skills. To do TDD right, you've got to be really good at refactoring your code. But many developers know only basic refactoring techniques. So if they do TDD, they end up generating code that looks like it was written to satisfy lots of small requirements, and it lacks the cohesion and clarity that it should have.

I think TDD is taught the wrong way around. First, they should teach refactoring. And only when those skills are thoroughly mastered, should they move on to teaching TDD.
What if the Journal asks for a transfer of copyright? Does that violate some kind of law/thing for all the previous (including the final) version of the manuscript stored on Authorea? Would the author have to take down their final-manuscript from Authorea so they can transfer the copyright to the publisher/Journal.
USPS also delivers small to medium sized parcels.

For me, it's less about what they'd like to try. They'd be fine if they could just sit tight on mail delivery. However, they're under attack by crony capitalists.

They get _NO_ government money.

Yet corporations are able to coerce congress into placing restrictions on them, so they can better compete against them.

These are the same "free market" people who are funding the CATO institute, a libertarian think-tank.

This is why I can't find a political party I like.

All of them suck.
It doesn't hurt that the software industry boomed under the Internet, which might be the most horribly regulated and managed infrastructure in history, but it is densely controlled by politics, else governments wouldn't have privatized their coax lines and wireless spectrum wouldn't be controlled by a few major players.

Also, software patents can easily be considered intense regulation, especially in the superfluous and artificial nature they make the mathematics behind algorithms scarce because you have to tip toe around getting sued.
This OS has got virtually no apps. Not even office. It's almost sad. They should work till they drop to get blue stacks or build their own emulator to run android apps on this.
I've wondered this, too!

It helps that elementary functions are in some sense dense in the set of all other functions. Results like Stone-Weierstrass show that on a compact interval, any function can be arbitrarily-well approximated by a polynomial.

Other things that might interest you-- how one might know if a function even has an antiderivative that can be expressed as an elementary function: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liouville%27s_theorem_(differen...
The problem isn't with the concept of TEDx and having others run TED clones, it's that they're allowing almost anyone to run a TEDx event. There are awesome talks that come from TEDx events. TED should just be very stringent on who it grants TEDx licenses to, which it clearly isn't.

What are the advantages to using Meteor over Rails/Django/Express, etc., for a dating site? Sure, the client server model is compelling, but you're giving up not only the Ruby/Python ecosystem, but the Node one as well. Did you consider something like Derby.js, which uses npm and is built on express?
I like that idea. The License to the OPUS codec uses it. If you sue another user of the opus codec, you must stop using opus. :)
thanks for the tip! You are right indeed. Not the best use of whitespace there. We are still polishing up the front end a bit. It would be wonderful if you gave Authorea a try for your thesis. Feel free to get in touch for support as rendering a very long document in the browser may be more cumbersome than regular academic papers.
I am talking about either situation. Someone could hack their site (angry employee, outside person, etc), and modify the code to send the decryption password to their server. This would work for either situation since the person could push an update out for the browser extension.

I'm sure they are very careful about the security of their system, but they are still one step away from having all of your passwords (a simple extension update, or site javascript modification). If I use a program like keepassx, I know when it's updated, and can verify that it doesn't attempt to communicate with a remote server.

Subtitutes may not even be half-way there in understanding disruptions, though. Water or soda are substitutes for beer, but that doesn't mean they are disruptive. In some cases, they can be. Like blogs vs newspapers. But in most cases, substitutes don't refer to disruptive innovations, that's why I think it's not even "half way there". Which means it's putting too little focus on disruptions, when disruptions can literally kill your company, no matter how big it is, within 10 years of appearing.
Agreed. They should have seen that one coming.

I would love to see more women in "hard" technology startups. There are too few women founders out there (a sad thing), and out of them a lot work on companies that appeal mostly to women. I'm not saying that's a bad thing, but I would LOVE to see more women building complex tech startups - evening out the picture.

The point I am trying to make is that you are not adding information to the discussion. It's obvious upon inspection that a small portion of the graphical assets, and even the color scheme are similar. It is equally obvious that they are not identical. This thread is about the appropriateness of LayerVault abusing the DMCA's takedown provisions in order to stifle an open source project in response to perceived "similarities" that do not satisfy the standard for copyright infringement, the only situation in which it is appropriate (or legal, for that matter) to issue a DMCA takedown notice. The original point I was trying to make (and the point that basically everyone else responding to you is trying to make, that you don't seem to understand) is that this is true regardless of whether or not designmodo is "copying" their "style", "feel", or color palette, and that throwing around a DMCA takedown notice so casually is unacceptable behavior, regardless of how injured they feel.
The TSA announced earlier this week that they were going to allow people to take small folding knives and similar onto planes in carry-on baggage as of next April. Strangely, this has provoked almost zero response from people who like to complain about the TSA. I'm inclined to conclude that a lot of people like having something to complain about more than they like having their complaints acted upon.

Interesting theory - can you explain why, then, that the most regulated economies ever, such as the former Soviet Union or former East Germany, were the most polluted? Interference in the free market causes chaos, such as our current economy and the direction things are going now, unfortunately.

Your easy start up example is interesting too, as if there were more regulation, you would have to work through layers and layers of red tape and fees and lawyers to start a company etc which simply reinforces my point. If you were to add 50K+ to the costs of starting a software company due to regulation and fees, the innovation landscape would change dramatically as would the companies we have today.
Last summer the History Channel aired a silly documentary on the Dieppe raid which claimed the raid was an elaborate cover for Flemming and his commando group to pinch a U-boat code machine.

The reality is that Flemming and his group had nothing to do with the planning of the raid. They learned about afterwards and asked if they could tag along, drawing up their own targets, etc.

Also Dieppe was not used for U-boats so where they did get this idea they find an enigma machine?

In their defense you can say that at least the passwords were hashed - otherwise it would have been much more of a travesty. Even so, Evernote users (myself included) should prepare to have our Gmail work a bit harder against Spam (i assume the emails'll get sold) the next few months.

Eddie Huang talks about his experiences speaking at TED
hi there- by and large, authors are allowed to publish the pre-print and post-print versions of their published manuscripts (pre-print being the version right before editor proof-reading, and post-print any version following publication). Authorea articles are essentially "enriched" pre-prints so they do not interfere with the passing of the copyright to publishers.
FUCK YHEAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

I'M GOING TO USE THIS RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just like, update to the internet, man. I want my articles to look beautiful on the web, not just in antiquated print journals!!!!!

Why, in 2013 do references need to look like this (Johnson-Kines et al., 1533) when we have HYPERLINKS on the web??? And you can show a little snippet in a tooltip--or the actual quote or line of the document that you're referencing?

Looks great, but needs a function for deleting and editing the habits, not just adding them. If the app has those functions, I couldn't find them.

I uninstalled the app after a brief try-out, but would have kept it and tried it out for longer if it had those functions.
This is excellent. I am writing my phd dissertation right now, and wrote my own variant of markdown to generate it! I wholeheartedly agree! You guys have the right design spirit and vision. Take it forward, and grow a little bolder! Make versions that uniquely take advantage of the web for READING, not just for WRITING!
>Who says that they'd all be fraudulent?

The fact that the user in question by stipulation hasn't posted any infringing material. We're not talking about the effect on intermediaries.

Obviously if there were no safe harbor at all then the intermediaries would immediately cease to exist and the internet as we know it would disappear, probably to be replaced by something resembling The Pirate Bay.
I am a firm believer that we cannot shape law around worst case scenarios. This is how we legalize torture also, because what happens with the ticking time bomb?

The right answer is under horrible extreme circumstances, leaders will sometimes act outside the law, and these actions can be tacitly ignored by the rest of the political system, or used for impeachment/prosecution if the country disagrees with the actions.

What we must not do is imagine worst case hypotheticals in our heads and then unwrite the Constitution, handing absolute legal power over anyone's life and death to one man in the name of protecting ourselves from our nightmares.

High priced tickets to any tech event kind of bug me. I just don't get it. I've always hated the trend of calling developers "rockstars" and I hate the trend of tech conferences being like rockstar concerts
Now all we need is to make sure all Somalis, Yemenis, Pakistanis and Afghans get immediate US citizenship, that way all those folks whose only crime was to be born in the wrong country will have at least one man standing up in the Senate against them being bombed in their house while sleeping.

I'm ok with categorically banning attacks with drones on US citizens in the US if those citizens do not pose an imminent threat. It's the same legal standard as for the police to take a shot at someone vs. arresting him. The question specifically mentioned "imminent threat". I mean, if someone poses an imminent (and unlawful, and extreme/lethal) threat to me, I'm legally ok to shoot him myself, as a private citizen.

Any competent attorney, particularly one representing the US Government, should have said exactly that and moved on.

What is clearly terrifying to people is the use of drones in a more expansive way than a simple replacement for a precision marksman -- persistent monitoring of a target, signature strikes, and personality strikes with the standard of "we'd probably detain him, but it's easier to Hellfire", which is what we do in Yemen and Pakistan due to dysfunctional local governments. If we start doing that in e.g. the Southwest because we don't have the funding for enough CBP agents, we're clearly in the wrong.

J-1 Visa immediately followed by a TN Visa?

I'm thinking of doing a 3 month internship before starting full-time at another company.

Judging from the context below and my limited knowledge of NaCL, this is incorrect. It uses the same algorithms but with the ASM removed. Since, I believe, one of the points of the ASM was removing timing attacks, removing it is not an inherently safe operation. Not saying anyone did anything wrong, just people should be careful and someone should probably check. This is not just a wrapper around NaCL.

Hey, thanks for the comments. It is true that your research lab gave you MS Word for free, but that doesn't mean someone didn't have to pay for it in order to give it to you. I personally don't like the experience of writing articles in Word, but I can totally see how many people would be fine with it, especially if their work is not equation-heavy.

I prefer writing in Latex more than Word, but it still isn't a happy experience for me. The errors are nearly useless, I'm constantly compiling and waiting for pdf output, and then I have a static pdf as output, which isn't so exciting.

That's why we decided to try and build something different. I want to look at rendered text most of the time during my workflow, but I don't want to use Word. I'd prefer a markup language with a nice-looking, easy to remember, syntax, which is why we offer Markdown. Collaboration should be easy, which is why it's online. I want things to be dynamic, which is why we're working on that. I want to share my data with my figures and my analysis with my data. Again, we're working on that.

It is true that in 2013 what is important is publishing in respected peer-reviewed journals. But we're really trying to think about what an article is going to look like in 2023. I highly doubt it is going to be a static pdf (or static html version of said pdf) available only to paying users of a respected journal, or users whose institutions are nice enough to pay for them.

I'll be the first to admit that we have a long way to go, but we gotta start somewhere.

Supply and demand is a simple process, really. You set tickets to price X and you get 10 times as many people wanting to attend than you have seats. What do you do next year? Lottery? Beauty contest? It's logical to raise the price in such a case. I don't think this is restricted to tech conferences. Unlike rock concerts though, it's hard to imagine Google is trying to actually make money from I/O tickets.
hi toomim, yes we are still a bit rough around the edges. We are only a few months old. If you can let us know what bugs you found, it'd be great. And we will definitely announce it again as soon as we are ready for a more official launch. Thanks for checking us out

Sheldrake's actual talk is pretty decent, and this is another example of internet skeptics being intellectually dishonest. The blogger's entire argument is that Sheldrake is saying that the speed of light isn't constant, which he explicitly never says. The ironic thing is that this blog post actually proves Sheldrake's point.

Despite any potential inaccuracies or not. I still think he raises a good point with regards to questioning assumptions that we all might have. Regardless of accuracies or understanding. As scientists and intellectuals we should be the most open about accepting and exploring of new and conflicting ideas. Even if they turn out to be wrong. It's always worth investigating everything from time to time.

Real Horror: 350-Pound Lion Kills 26-year-old Intern
The sad thing is drones probably could be used in a way which helps individual rights vs. the government.

In an arrest scenario (even for the most trivial of crimes), if someone resists an individual officer, it can easily turn into a justifiable self-defense shooting by the officer. If you struggle, grab for the officer's weapon, or if he even thinks that is happening, training and prudence is that he should end the threat as quickly as possible.

OTOH, if someone resists a robot, I'm fine with the robot being destroyed; just send two more to effect the arrest. Only in a situation where someone would be escaping and immediately harming other human life would it be justifiable for the drone to use lethal force.

I have zero faith that our government would restrict its use of drones in that way, though.
