Yep.

Which isn't great advice. Sure a side effect of having it unlocked is that it makes it easier to find the owner to get in contact with. But having unlocked means it can potentially come with many downsides.

I think the better point is to make people think about how someone will get it back to you when it is locked. So either make sure you lock screen image has some contact details on it (could be as simple as screenshotting the notes app etc) or use Find My iPhone and push a message (or both!)
love this attitude. sure they could have sought fast growth from the beginning, but sometimes proving that you are a legitimate company first speaks a lot to these guys commitment to growing tweaky into something great.
I think this is so right on, and one of the best sum-ups of the problem our industry has dealing with this sort of thing. I don't have these issues with confrontation, but I'm super familiar with the fact that so many people I've worked with do. That's hard.
It also developed a lot of the basic technology we'd need to avert a large asteroid impact. I doubt this was anybody's goal, but it sure happened.
Indeed. I think a recent IMF study suggested the U.S. would have to raise taxes $500B annually to account for pre- and post-consumer 'subsidies', mostly to compensate for externalities.

In U.S. budget-ese, you describe costs over a 10 year span, so that's a "$5 trillon tax hike".

The point being that the EV subsidy is small potatoes. I still think it's a bad idea. Tax the gas. Let producers and consumers figure out how to use less, and let governments figure out how to compensate for the regressiveness of the tax.
Well, the only good C++ IDE (according to many people) is Visual Studio, which is tuned for Microsoft-flavoured C++ (which should follow standard, but like always, some slight difference with g++ I suppose). Also not being able to run the code on the platform where you code is incredibly annoying.
As the running costs (electricity vs gas) are noticeably better, it makes much more sense to run Teslas as a business vehicles rather than consumer goods, since a business car is "on the run" much more - in essence, electric cars will be the cost-effective option in the long run rather than a luctury.
Why not white redneck english then? I've met numerous people in West Virginia, Alabama, Georgia, etc. that speak as different a form of english as ebonics represents. It's perfectly fine for the english language to spawn related children, but the purpose of language is understanding / communication, and it's ideal for the people of a country to be able to communicate in a standard language to maximize efficiency (in trade, social interaction, you name it). I'd argue it's ideal to navigate people that speak broken english (whether they're caucasian, african american, hispanic, asian, whatever) back toward speaking a more standardized version of it.
NEVER CACHE YOUR WORDPRESS INSTALL.
I think that this has to come from both directions:

1. Remember those silly class codes of conduct we had to do at the beginning of each school year? Bring something like that back at the beginning of each conference. OK, not quite that cheesy, but a reminder at the start about the code of conduct. Offer refunds at that point if people don't agree with them. Hell, we have to sit through the Health and Safety stuff anyway so it's a good time to add them in.
(Speaking of which, I think it's too late to do anything int regards to the guy this year).

2. At a grass roots level. I know it's a horrible analogy, but I remember when I was taking my dog through dog obedience (OK, puppy kindy) that if you don't punish a dog within four seconds for something they've done wrong, you might as well forget it as they will have. In that respect, I think any social reactions have to be swift and to the point. Walk away from a group if something is unacceptable, or very quickly say something along the lines of 'that crossed the line and isn't cool'.
Nitpick: They didn't break the vow, they satisfied the conditions for its cessation, so it ended. Breaking implies that they drank before becoming profitable.
Don't these already exist? For example codeblocks?
it isn't my goal to score points though.

Maybe him being a dick in front of people at the table is enough to help change him.

Thanks for your point.
Maybe I'm sentimental, but you should rebrand. I think NCSA Mosaic holds a position of antiquity in a lot of hacker minds, and Mosaic is a special name to me.

Or, maybe we'll eventually run out of English words and start recycling anyway, and I should move on. Tough to say.
> Schools are supposed to teach you the official language and all the skills you need to succeed in society.

What makes you think SAE is the only language you need to succeed in society? I live in Oakland, and I wish I learned AAVE in school. It would absolutely be useful to succeed in society. Ditto for Spanish.
Not this again. The kind of people who make this kind of comment don't give a shit about this kind of blogpost.
The calculator automatically includes "business" write off, take that away and you're at the 700+ mark. This is just smoke and mirrors.

Actually, I would argue that "fuck off" is the better response. "I disagree" implies that there's grounds for legitimate discussion when the initial remark is so far out of line there really isn't.

I'm afraid I didn't make it clear. I meant a refund for the most recent $99 auto renew charge that had changed the terms of service without notifying the customers.
Ask them about database design, sockets, parallelism, map/reduce, memory allocation, etc. and you'll get blank stares.

You might have better success just advertising for someone who has experience with whatever large data requirement you are working with. Senior engineers can learn the framework if they aren't already familiar with it.

I wouldn't expect a RoR engineer to be very concerned with memory allocation, parallelism or sockets. They are busy building sexy CRUD web applications.
When using dart2js, you can split a program into multiple chunks, and load them separately[1]. But you need to set this up before compiling, so that's not useful for sharing a library on a CDN.

I think people often use javascript libs on a CDN because they don't want to go to the hassle of setting up a javascript package management system, or figure out which file to download and where to put it. It's not all about load time savings.

Dart's minification, combined with pub, the package management system, make the CDN usecase irrelevant for dart IMHO. A business can just ship their library on pub, and it's easy for people to use because of Dart's out-of-the-box tools.

There's a pretty decent chance that it would have been sufficient to satisfy all of that, but that's not what they chose to do it seems. They instead created a company that they owned, put someone else's name on it with alleged forged signatures that had little idea what was going on ( Cooper ) and tried to do that while controlling both so that they'd have complete discretion to sue and collect fees.
The code on your GitHub, for the most part, seems fine.

One thing I can say is don't use exec[1] if you can avoid it:

$string = 'rm /var/www/Giftest/*.gif';
exec($string);

While there's nothing * technically* wrong, it's platform specific and I think it would be better to use PHP's unlink[2] function. Also, sorry if this is wrong, I haven't looked at the regex but it seems your parsing YouTube URLs? Have you looked at oEmbed[3] - it may be an easier way to accomplish what your doing? You can use it with json_decode[4] to get an object.

Despite the feeling that "some people can't / won't change" I believe in teachable moments[1]. I can't recall where I heard this, but someone once said that racism and bigotry were diminished in this country when people shamed friends and family members for making insensitive remarks.

Al Worden: ‘The loneliest human being’
So, think of it this way: It doesn't read like he is running his own investigation, he is in fact, running his own investigation.

In this case, for this particular issue, he is also the fact finder.
So he's trying to find facts.
Being a court, rather than an investigative body, the ways he can go about finding facts are rather limited, but he can still do a few things.

As for the fifth amendment:
1. As Ken at popehat points out, the fifth amendment taking is going to end up being held against them in every civil matter.

2. Yes, you can compel people to testify about others (with limited exceptions), assuming it does not also incriminate you.

Even in that case, they could just give the paralegal (or someone) immunity and force them to testify.
They can basically force immunity on you and then force you to testify.
Not sure why this comment is being downvoted. It's entirely true. The reason we've got people in the world who make comments like this is because they were raised in an environment where it was normal, and they think it's normal. We've got bad eggs in all walks of life. Society moves on and ultimately those people will suffer for going against the grain. It's a shame that ladies are so overwhelmed by this in our industry but you can't let the dweebs in society get you down.

Most of the people in her group shared the same reaction: they were surprised and defended her. I realize that ladies have it tough in our industry, but it's not a 50:50 men vs women war.

When you're in a jam like that, there isn't much you can do. You don't engage them. When someone says shit like that, you just ignore them. Or change the subject. Or leave. As the author said herself ... she isn't a confrontational person. Most women aren't. So, you just drop it and walk away. I do it all the time. I have no patience for stupid people, regardless of their gender.
I agree with you 100% fuck off conveys exactly the response a comment like that warrants. It singles out the speaker and separates him from the conversation, just like his comment did to the woman. If he wants back in, he has to do so awkwardly and sheepishly, which is I'm sure exactly how the woman in the story felt
This is really awesome. Every aspect of the car industry should be challenged and awesome entrepreneurs like Elon Musk who give their all are an inspiration.
Sorry :( Any advice how I should fix it?
Does codeblocks have advanced code manipulation tools, i.e. refactoring support (in the presence of complex templated code)? It's an extremely complex problem for C++, and JetBrains seem to have the right brains to solve it.
I didn't know you could get downvoted this hard on HN... I had to select it to even read this!

At some point, they will need to prove this person exists, or else the court is likely to strip the privilege.

After all, otherwise as a lawyer you could just avoid testifying about anything ever, by claiming you have this client you see, and well, he told me things about this, and thus it's privileged.
I would have calmly said just this: "That's not an acceptable thing to say".

No yelling or arguing or rational reasoning: People like that guy just need to understand simply and clearly that it is not acceptable.
Patents are for mechanisms, not principles.

Patenting quantum indeterminacy isn't possible. Patenting a machine that makes it possible to exploit that phenomenon is.

Every machine is reducible to mere physics. That doesn't mean there aren't inventive steps to make them practical.
Americans self-identify with English just as much as Brazilians identify themselves with Portuguese. This issue arises when this is not the case.
This was painful to read. It's hard to get into the usual is-there-sexism-in-tech-or-not debate because this is so beyond the pale-dysfunctional. First, that anyone could say such a thing in polite company. Second, that the rest of the table did not demand the offending person to leave. Seriously, how is anyone, espicially the targeted woman, expected to enjoy their dinner and have a non-awkward conversation after that?

And really, this is not just a problem of some guy saying something kind of sexist. It's a guy who thinks the scales are so much in his favor that he can just say such a thing to a stranger without really offending people. He's not beyond hope, but he's not someone you should break bread with without making clear at he was completely out of line.

Edit: I'm not helping much with the OP's guilt trip...it's never easy thinking about what you should've done when the shock was over. The OP shouldn't chastise himself for not throwing a punch or making some other dramatic stand. But leaving out of protest is always an option. If it makes the troll and everyone who decided to stay feel awkward, well, that's their decision.
Thanks - I've never had this much traffic before!
Which one? I imagine a good chunk of that is hardware. I wouldn't see a problem with a patent on, say, the RADAR device that maps the path of the car. (Though it may be that such a thing isn't novel and non-obvious, e.g. because aircraft do something similar or identical, so presuming no such thing was in the prior art.)

But software patents are still a problem. A self-driving car isn't a simple thing. The reason the engineering is hard is that you have to get a thousand things working together correctly. None of them individually is the key to making it work; all of them together are. And a software patent that claimed them all together would be useless because anyone could reinvent a minimum threshold of constituent parts and avoid infringement. So instead they claim each of the individual components in separate patents. Which leads to the general problem with software patents, which is that you multiply even a small possibility of independent invention by many thousands of patents and you effectively guarantee unintentional infringement by anyone trying to reach the same goal, which locks newcomers out of the market unless they can survive the costs of patent litigation.

Maybe you can solve this if you can find a way to separate the wheat from the chaff and stop issuing 98% of the software patents that are currently issued, but that seems to be much easier said than done. If it isn't possible or practical to do that then allowing 98% bad patents for the sake of 2% good ones is a pretty bad trade off.
Google occasionally will do this to let users searching for Google requests know that their browsing experienced is compromised.
To reiterate your parent: The point is not that they should not be taught ASE. The point is if a young child writes, "No tengo", you'll say, hey, we need to get a Spanish speaker in here to teach this kid some ESL. But if they write, "I ain't got none", you'll say, hey, we need to put this kid in remedial English because that's incorrect.

But that's just factually false. Both of these children speak a proper first language at home, and both need to be taught to respond to English questions in English without being taught that their first language is somehow wrong.
I can't help but think of all the things I'm auto-logged into on my phone.. Twitter, Facebook, calendar, company email, etc. And that's not even considering the tech messages and other notes that might be in there.

While an unlocked phone might be great in the honestly-lost scenario, the stolen-while-I'm-not-looking scenario makes me way more nervous.

That was huge, and new technology was what made it possible.
My grandparents used to get these keychains from their Exxon filling station that said "Return Postage Guaranteed" and had a serial number and an Exxon address to mail them to. Just drop them in the mailbox.
> Normal leases are financed by banks

Last time I check, no banks did leases. Only the captive finance companies do leases. e.g. Ford Credit / Toyota Credit / GMAC / etc.

This type of financing has been done many times before, but for a different reason. New York and New Jersey have vicarious liability laws which means if the car damages your property, you can sue the owner of the vehicle. In a lease, the credit company has title of the vehicle, thus for a period, no leases were done in certain states, and they just did this same "guaranteed resale/baloon payment" loan.

My wife and father both use the Samsung ARM chromebook (guess who doesn't like tech support). I was a CR-48 tester too. I love ChromeOS, but I'm kind of disappointed in how little uptake there has been of NaCl. In particular, if there were a way to run a decently feature-filled emacs in a tab, I'd probably make the jump.
Whilst I understand the idea you're trying to get across, we have to make it clear to these people that they're outright not welcome any more. Getting this asshat barred from future GDC's can only be a good thing and perhaps if (and when) people get up in arms over it a la Adria Richards, they need to be warned, or even barred, too.

Doing nothing because you fear the verbal reprisals of a group of immature misogynists seems, to me at least, the worst of all possible options.
Why?

What makes a luxury vehicle substantively different from a small car, if anything, you would get less benefit from the depreciation on a luxury car, because they tend to be worth more used. Also, a Luxury Car, and a top of the like 3/4 ton truck are in the same price range. Also, it is for example quite legitimate to outfit your outside sales people with a nice high end vehicle, they need to drive what their customers would expect them to.
You may be surprised.
It actually takes quite a lot to get disbarred in most states. About the only sure fire way is to mess with client funds.

If they do get disbarred, it'll take a while (years).
If any company I did business with changed the terms of the business such that I would be charged when I previously wasn't, and then they automatically charged me, I'd be absolutely livid, regardless of whether they sent me an email (that may or may not be sitting in the bottom of a spam folder) or not.

I don't think they should be on the hook for providing people with free service that costs them money if they need to change the terms, but it should be 100% manual opt-in (with people who don't opt-in having their service canceled) if it involves a price increase or wholly new charges where there were previously none.

Based on the fact that their apology seems centered around the email bug and not the initial premise of adding charges without users having to opt-in to them, I have to disagree with some of the comments here that this proves they "get" customer service.
Isn't this just a matter of

1) building a webpage where you own the copright

2) Have someone in one of the cities where this is happening browse to your page.

3) Copyright violated, and you get to be the test case!
Since you can get to all my emails in one click, that phone will remain locked at all times.

Yes. This is a preaching to the choir scenario. Now I won't be able to sleep from all the ridiculous comments that are bound to ensue in this thread.
> Edit: I see that my post is getting downvoted while the factually incorrect parent post is not. This feels like /r/Linux, where facts are not welcome and where FUD gets voted up.

I have a variety of negative responses to this, ranging from the apathetic, to the contradictory, to the ad hominem. I would probably not have had the same reaction had you omitted the "Edit:", although your description of the situation is perhaps oversimplified.

Holding factual accuracy as the highest virtue is the blessing and curse of the tech world, and as such it may be forgivable. How you are choosing to express yourself, on the other hand, would seem to have a great deal to do with how well those comments are received.
Where are these people working, that saying something like "award winning tits" wouldn't be a firing offense?
Funny. Sounds like me. I went to a decent but "wrong" school (UVA), lured by promises of a free ride. I missed my tech bingo interviews (and I've had a lot of them), for reasons worthy of a blog post. My first, for instance, with MS, went wrong because Alaska Airlines got my flight in around 1 or 2 AM - for an 8 AM interview the next day. I know I was not at my best.

I am also totally done with Google - it's just not worth 4 months of runaround and countless phone interviews just to come in and fail because one of the interviewers hates the whole process. And last time they contacted me, they told me to learn either Java or Python and call them back when I did. No thanks. Nothing against Python, but I am not putting that much effort into the chance at another interview. I would totally work for a company that did Python, and learn as I go - I've done that plenty before. (Edit: Oh, and the number of interviews google puts you through just should not be allowed)

I spent a year working on my own startup, which is what got me into rails, but it ran out of runway and I was then tied to the area by romance, and got a mediocre job at a huge company. I am no longer encumbered, but my resume lacks any recognizable names (of schools or companies). I've had a lot of other personal projects that never went anywhere and which earn me no points, but at least keep me in the game. (I should have put them all on GitHub, I suppose, but was too embarassed about their unfinished nature to do so).

I also don't get what the obsession is with CS 201 questions. But I keep my data structures textbook around just so I can relearn how to implement A* or remind myself what the big-O of a B-tree delete is before interviews. Of course, at Google I'd need to be implementing these data structures daily(?). I don't have a big problem with them, it's just an odd thing to be obsessed with.
I don't see where it said they would support multiple compilers. It does say they are integrating with Clang analyzer, but no indication of native support for MSVC idiosyncracies
That's quite a bold statement to make to someone, basically equivalent to saying, "you're nothing without your genitals". The proper response isn't "I disagree" or even "fuck you", it's a punch to the face. Seriously, if someone tells you, or your friend that they're worthless, you don't have to argue with them, you can knock them the fuck out.
This post ignores one fact: VCs did, in fact, throw millions at Reader-like services and competitors a few years ago, when the RSS scene was hot. Most of them went nowhere, the luckiest got acquired.

A few lifestyle businesses will forever chug along on a few million hardcore fans like me; nevertheless, the overall technology in its current incarnation is an evolutionary dead-end: it's heavy on resources (all that bandwidth!), fundamentally uni-directional and too user-unfriendly to break into the mainstream.

We need to ditch RSS and the current breed of pub/sub tools, rebuild them from scratch with monetization and aggregation in mind (while maintaining a fundamentally decentralised approach), and only then we'll be able to build an ecosystem of easy-to-use apps that can self-sustain in the long run.
