But it only recomputes them when you edit them. It's like changing the source code of the program and rerunning it.

let x = 3, y = 5 in
x + y

No (mutable) variables there, but if I change the y = 3 bit to y = 4, the value of the expression changes. That's what it's like in excel, as well.
The top comments on here are all from men who took offense to their fellow man's rather non-controversial (IMHO) acknowledgement that a man necessarily, by definition, lacks the first-person experience on women's issues. They have not commented on anything of substance from the actual article.

So this mysterious word of yours.... what is it?

Mine is "privilege blindness": http://www.shakesville.com/2008/04/blindness-of-privilege.ht...
It's great to think that the technology that we are consuming in the third world is going to trickle down, but I'm starting to wonder whether or not that's true.

Phones are sold until they have minor issues, then trashed. Software products are discontinued instead of being made open source.

We need to tackle these issues.
That is something the judge would like to know too.
True, but if owners are looking to return their Teslas en masse after 36 months the residual value will be a little less than the 43% they're apparently guaranteeing here.

It's not just a hedge against you ending up with a dud car either: you're also protected from a perfectly adequate '13 model's value being driven down by a new generation of Teslas which are drastically better (or better value). That's a worthwhile guarantee for the early-adopter of a physical product in a rapidly evolving market

Expect the most dramatic innovations from Tesla to come in 2017 and beyond then... :-)
Actually, no. When Stephen Colbert asks his viewers to edit some article, it's fairly simple to lock that single article. Any collateral vandalism is easily reverted.

The problem here is much more insidious: hundreds of articles are being edited. Furthermore, though the edits are of low quality and often plagiarized, they are not so obviously vandalism that bots or editors can instantly revert them.
Isn't JS injection a copyright violation, since it creates a derived work? Or has that idea been shot down before?
Considering that my comment has nothing at all to do with my job, i'm relatively sure I don't give a shit.

The reason systems admins have a bad reputation is: they earned it.
I don't think there is really an objective answer for this, but here's my take: I basically started thinking of Fogbeam Labs as a startup when I did all the legal blah, blah to create the legal entity.

When to drop everything and work on it exclusively is a different question. I still haven't done that, and me and my co-founder both still work dayjobs and hack on this by night and weekend and other "miscellaneous" time (lunch breaks, plane flights, etc.) For us, I think I'll quit my dayjob and focus on this when A. we have a paying customer definitely on the hook, ready to sign a PO, and/or B. I have enough cash reserve to give me a minimum of 6 months of runway (assuming my current $DAYJOB employer says they would want me back if it doesn't fly, which I think they would) and/or C. crowd-funding becomes a reality and we raise a reasonable but small amount of money that way.

Less likely options for us are: D. raising money from more traditional angels or VCs, or E. winning the lottery.
It seems at least some on here know a bit about the company, and seem impressed by the concept at least. I know next to nothing about them, so let me give you the view of the proverbial "Joe Sixpack". Summary: I know of only one vendor that uses it, and LevelUp has to overcome my objections to using it right there at the point-of-sale.

There's one restaurant that my wife and I go to that has the POS thingy. We live in Redmond, not exactly a town full of tech-averse folk. So problem #1 is: is it worth the trouble of signing up, dealing with one more daily email newsletter (because I forgot to uncheck the box), and having to get my phone out and find the app every time we eat there? Answer: a resounding "no".

Problem #2: you have to sell me at the point-of-sale, because I frankly don't care enough to go look it up. What does LevelUp do, other than having a glowing thing that wants to have something to do with my phone? I have no idea, probably something to do with paying for my meal. If that's the only answer I can come with at the time of sale, I refer you to Problem #1.

Problem #3: I know of only one vendor in tech-savvy Redmond, WA that uses it. Why even bother to dirty my inbox and the app screen of my phone?

Problem #4: how's the user experience? Does it suck? Do rainbows and unicorns sprout from my phone when I use it? I have no idea. What I do know is that whipping out my credit card is quick and easy, and everyone involved in the transaction knows how to go through the motions. LevelUp competes against a known quantity, and that known quantity is actually pretty good.

From reading the comments, I gather that there's some kind of rewards system. Hmm, first I knew of it (see POS sales problem). Not exactly a positive for me, as I'm growing tired of loyalty cards and variations thereof.

So that's the view of a guy who knows almost nothing about LevelUp. Too much to fiddle with, and no perceived value for me.
As far as I'm aware, no. As far as I know, while IP's are logged, users with the "checkuser" privilege need to manually search and interpret the logs during each investigation.
Can you point out where in the article it advocates teaching students AAVE?

Rebecca Wheeler, the professor at Christopher Newport University mentioned at the outset, is a descriptivist, like all linguists. She says that these kids are speaking AAVE because that’s what they know; it’s not wrong — it’s their language. She thus advocates teaching students who speak AAVE at home the concept of code-switching. The general idea is simply the notion of switching between two different languages as needed.
I do really love Stripe.
Except that still implies that 1445 students plagiarized. "Professor tells class to edit wikipedia, results in 16 cases of plagiarism" would be way less misleading.
How the Data Sausage Gets Made
It does say something, but do you really want to hire founders in a mid stage company?

Founders are very different types of people, the type of people who while great at starting companies, but different people are required at different stages of a company.
I'm assuming you mean the browser detection using useragent right? What's the better way of doing it?
Exactly. This is no different than what Aereo did. Go through some contorsions to fit the law, while still giving the customer what they want. Make a lease look like a purchase to get tax credits.
Moving to California from the East Coast nearly doubled my salary. Cost of living went up, but by around a factor of 15-20%.

Of course, since lots of people are really fucking rich in the Bay Area, it's easy to get caught in the conspicuous consumption game (the biggest part of which is probably housing and location). But if you can avoid that, moving to California can easily mean a whole lot more money, even with taxes + cost of living.
That's still personal information. It'd be illegal in England. I have no idea what, if any, privacy laws the various US states (or Canada) have.
On a related note, this is one of the reasons I prefer to use, and make, Apache 2.0-licensed software. Its terms are similar to those of BSD and MIT but it also includes a patent licensing clause.
But there's nothing stopping them doing it in their own time. I've edited a couple of articles here and there and, had I have found an error in a Maths article in my first year, I would have edited without a second thought.

Facebook Paid Messaging
Is Facebook paid messaging gonna be the end of LinkedIn. (As mentioned at SocialMediaToday)

I just found that the feature has already gone live. There's a high price if you try messaging someone very popular.

Oo, and you like to do the thing where you look up the dictionary definitions of words used to criticize you for their literal meaning. Cool.

My problem is not with your choice to use or not use. It's with the words you use to dismiss something that is well-within the norms of what's posted on here. Unfinished products go on HN all the time.

And, the website's not even that polished! It's a bunch of markdown design documents with two or three graphics attached. So, you have a bad attitude and you're wrong. That's off-putting, and apparently not just to me.

Oh, big bad Peter's going to review some pre-alpha open source code and dislike it. That is sure something that's going to make my face scrunch up.
I actually do like it, though I have to say, for technical docs I like more compact designs like this: https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/docs/overview (I don't know why, but I feel like i'm scrolling more on Cap'n Proto pages to read the same amount of information as on the protocol buffers page)
LevelUp has commented in the past how store employees were driving sales (and everyone gets/got $5 credit to try.) So it seems LU has been burning $5 of VC money to inflate revenues, but guests didn't repeat.

I guess the lesson is: no matter how much you raise, it's never enough if you keep firing in different directions.
Well done. Always good to see a startup take real responsibility for their actions.
Agreed, although the community has started offering some fairly good solutions for integrating third party libraries into App Engine projects. This layout is pretty good, for example:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4863557/how-do-i-manage-t...
A day isn't really enough time to wait for a response. A critical ticket can be overlooked by an overworked help desk for days before it reaches anyone with authority to schedule or, in the case of a contracted-out system, even hire someone to investigate the issue.

On the matter of disclosure after not receiving any reply within _weeks_, I have no personal experience (and IANAL), but I'd think a safe bet would be to set up a "Call for Assistance" blog post, or the like, announcing that you've discovered a bug in Company X's system, _without_ mentioning any details on how to reproduce it, but that you cannot reach them for responsible disclosure and asking anyone with contacts to the company to have them get back to you.

Give this a few more weeks or months and you should have enough evidence of good will to disclose the details.
I think you're right that this is not the reason for the gender skew, but I feel obligated to point out that the men might just take different actions in response to the trivial motivations.
my comment has nothing at all to do with my job

Correct, but your comment has everything to do with your attitude.
I think this is really foolish. Yes, there is a benefit to the consumer but it brings with it a very large liability risk for Tesla. I would much rather purchase a large-ticket item such as an automobile from a company that is robust enough to service the thing 10 years down the road than get a better upfront deal with the possibility that the company will go bust. I hope and believe that Tesla will succeed, but what if there are unforeseen problems with the cars later on? In that case, I'd want Tesla to be financially healthy enough to take large, unpredictable blows.
I love the concept, I have been following Primsly since they opened. I think a good thing for them would be to show stats of how many hires are happening in the system, and/or other figures to show some network action.
So the judge is essentially taking their insistence on pleading the fifth as evidence of guilt?

My main problem with this tactic is that it's not too tough to argue that this is a violation of the Fifth Amendment. I have no sympathies for the defendant in this case, but I'm concerned that a conviction along these lines wouldn't stand up on appeal. They could get it declared a mistrial, and this is not the sort of case one should leave vulnerable to that tactic.
It's a problem for WP because people are supposed to be able to re-distribute it under the right licence, and slapping copyright restricted stuff prevents that happening.
People have gotten pretty sick of the web tools they use being acquihired and shut down. Compound that with the founder being hostile towards Archive Team scraping their data, and is it any surprise your friend is getting flack?
For some other vehicles (Volt) I've heard the leasing company gets the credit if you lease; probably ought to be the same for Tesla. Dunno why they wouldn't be able to pass that along.

The residual value guarantee is pretty good though.
I would love to get a little more context behind this anecdote, because I have to admit it sounds almost a little too good / bad to be true.

While I have fairly limited experience with BigCo hiring, my poor resume has made it through at least a couple HR filters without any attempt on my part to do any keyword matching.

Even in the cases where HR is literally grepping the resume for certain target words, the requirements themselves aren't conjured out of thin air. Therefore, I feel some of the blame is shared by the department doing the hiring. After all, they know a filter is being applied by a team without domain knowledge and should tailor it accordingly.
s/Rails dev/dev/g
I use T-Mobile as my mobile carrier and as far as I know they do numbers 2, 3, and 4 that you listed here. I know this because I have received an SMS when I neared my 2GB of unlimited 4G data transfer. I also have logged into their site and used the app on my phone (HTC One S) to monitor my data usage. The phone app even tells you how much data was used by each app and when. It is fantastic. Could that be so hard for Comcast?
There are three integration points:

- Share from Dropbox: when composing an email, insert a link to a file already in your Dropbox.

- Save to Dropbox: when reading email, save a received attachment to your Dropbox.

- Upload to Dropbox: if you try to attach file over the 25MB attachment size limit, you're given the option to upload it to your Dropbox and link to the file on Dropbox.
Big fan of protobuf here. Awesome work.

We did something along those lines for our product except we used Boost.Fusion to generate the serialization code which enables us to skip the interface compilation phase altogether.

Basically you have any structure, you Boost.Fusion adapt it and bam!, cross-platform binary serialization at compile-time.

The best is that this approach works for everything. Want JSON? Bam! You got JSON.

One trick we used is to zero-copy the big chunks of memory. Don't know if that's the case here. It's tricky though because if you do asynchronous I/O later you have to make sure the original buffer stays alive long enough.

(ps: getters and setters, this is soooo last century ;) )
I'm sure they are checking content-type headers...

Just because you can do this doesn't mean you should (i will stay away from comcast xfinity).
Probably correct. Residual value of pretty much any luxury car is terrible.
There's no screwing. The reason those incentives exist is to get more people to drive electric cars. That's why the governments offered them. ($15k in WV, holy cow!) If anything, the folks leasing were the ones getting screwed.

(Side question: Since a leased car is actually owned by a bank or leasing entity, do they get the credit?)
The consensus is that it takes a (good) professional to decide if the medication is necessary.

If you've got mild cases, there are many behavioral techniques that might help you. People in the thread here are sharing them. (Excercise, nutrition, list making, regular brain dumps, etc.)

But once your ADD reaches a certain severity, those can't really get you back to fully functioning. Psychiatrists are _supposed_ to help you find out if you're past that threshold, and they're also supposed to help you find mitigation techniques that work for you.

Sad fact is that many psychiatrists, third-world or not, will not work for you. Not only do they need to be capable at their job in general, they need to be knowledgable about ADD, and you need to be able to connect with them, so things actually make sense.

It's an arduous process finding the one psychiatrist who works for you
"Receive a full refund of the Instacart Express subscription fee immediately"
It's a web app indeed. That will work on Android in the future.

We like Mosiac are bootstrappers so getting our hands on multiple Android devices for testing is a hurdle we'll no doubt overcome in time.
Someone told me Nissan is doing the same thing with the Leaf right now. They are offering dirt cheap leases because the dealership is taking the tax-credit to subsidize the cost. Tesla is just branding it differently.

Coloring shades of grey into our tax laws...
I hate WP, and have said so here more than once.

This instance is a bit different. WP recognises the importance of student editors, even as part of student course work. There's an established program to welcome students and their teachers; to introduce WP to them; and to help them through the baffling bureaucracy.

This professor was invited to that program. They declined.
Most of wiki is patrolled by robots, I'd image if it was useful it would.

I'd see natural disasters possibly false positiving compared with turf wars between groups/countries after a flare up being the main reason you'd do it.

I think professors asking students to edit would be rare enough not to make it worth while.
Backbone.js - Nested Views, Collections and Models
Some of it is most likely, yes. He's not afraid to fund his own projects, the man has passion
As a species, those of us in the developed world stopped evolving in many ways since the industrial revolution. Traits that increased the probability of reproduction hundreds, thousands, or millions of years ago stopped becoming a competitive advantage.

What you describe is not a paradox. The brain can self-diagnose and regulate the individual. Sometimes it's the introduction of foreign chemicals into the system (food, medication, whatever) and sometimes it is internal restructuring (learning).

>I said one AAVE speaker would not be able to point out the grammatical errors of another.

Would you be able to point out the grammatical errors in standard english without having been taught standard english grammar all through school, while at the same time having it re-enforced through writing assignments, literature, etc? I don't know about you, but I very likely would not. The point is we don't have a built in mechanism to flag subtle grammar errors (although we can certainly tell if something "sounds" wrong, but this is likely through re-enforcement).
Hundreds of students made edits. 16 are accused of plagarism. Which is laughable because this accusation is based on the citation provided by the student's own edit.

The only thing these students are guilty of is bad citation form.
Yeah, the depreciation is higher but comparing it to a Mercedes S seems perfectly fair to me. The Tesla is not competing with the Corolla.
Why would you want characters for the field length? Maybe I am missing something obvious or I misunderstood.
An interesting book on this topic is "Twice as Less," which deals with manifestations of the mismatch between English and AAVE in math and science.

I don't think it's just for PR purposes, but I understand your concern of an unbounded downside. Even a few free deliveries would be something.

They were caught having made a mistake: unilaterally changing the terms of a renewing contract without written notice.

The bare minimum they can do is to offer a refund.

Mistake or no mistake, if their goal is to "always try to go the extra mile," they are failing to do so here.
Google Groups didn't help, since the interface went from decent to degraded to useless to now-I-can't-find-it over the past decade.

There are still active newsgroups with regular postings, it's just nearly impossible to find them from the web. (And the spam is still a problem.)
When I was in the market, I never saw the kind of rabid attention the OP is describing. Sure, occasional recruiter spam, but no more or less than anyone else.

I can't argue with the OP's experience, but I would take all claims of "super massive talent shortage oh em gee" with a good pinch of salt.
Its so awesome that more and more medium-sized companies are paying attention to this! Patent racketeering needs to stop!

"All are bad English, i have no doubt whatsoever, that all would be understood by a speaker of "AAVE""

but they'd all be perfectly well understood by a speaker of "english" as well. so then "english" isn't a language. fascinating stuff.
I did not say that. What they did was "plain dishonest." I don't call myself a stupid person, but I have done (and will in the future do) stupid things. That does not make me stupid, and it does not make stupid things I do intelligent.

You are pushing to soften the insistence that customers should have regarding how they are charged. I don't see how that's a better approach than actually holding a company accountable for its actions, without necessarily judging the character of their employees or management.

Edit: Yes, I would say that to their faces. Exactly as I said it here, without personal judgment, but with a judgment regarding their conduct.
No, Instacart made an agreement which they need to honor more faithfully. If the 71 customers had decided to change the terms of a business agreement similarly, their accounts would probably be closed and referred for debt-collection.

The fact that Instacart is a tiny startup has no bearing on whether they should honor their agreements.
Good to know, I don't know why, but it has a ring to it that made me believe it was future tense.
I don't like the negativity associated with "first world" problem. The "first world" problems are very much real. If you believe that the rest of the world will catch up eventually with the "first world", they will have these "first world" problems too. We need to solve these "first world" problems. The only argument against it suggests a darker future where there is, and will always be, a huge gap between the rich and the poor, and the poor will stagnate forever. I don't choose to believe that.
Your profile reveals you're a former Comcast employee. That's a disclaimer worth posting here.

But yeah, if you have service with Comcast they have your home phone, email addresses, and physical address. They can get in touch with you every way that every company that CAN'T read all of your internet traffic already gets in touch with you.

The method they've chosen is terrible for at least the following reasons:
- The alert will not work on many platforms & devices.
- The alert may not reach the account owner.
- The alert will not work on SSL traffic.
- There is no record that the customer saw the alert (contrast with phone call)
- There are serious privacy issues involved in parsing user's web traffic.
