Read the whole post as a unit, and realize he's telling him to STFU. He's also hiding behind this man's manager. He assumes the manager would also tell him to STFU, when in fact the manager would probably not have done that. In fact, the manager didn't do that.

The manager may have wanted to do that, although that is purely conjectures, but the manager didn't, perhaps because it's against company policy, but also perhaps because his manager didn't want to go all out on Michael, perhaps realizing that the faults in the matter might not have all been on Michael's side.

So, then, I think Googler123 is telling Michael to STFU not by telling him directly, but by putting words in his manager's mouth, which is I think even worse, because not only is this denigrating to Michael, but also to his former manager, who may still be a Google employee.

Makes sense?
I love the design. Something about it makes me feel like I'm planning a vacation, rather than a career. Nice work.
Not-entirely-OT grammar nerd reply:

> I use male singular pronouns for people whose sex I'm not aware of because English male singular pronouns are actually also its neuter singular pronouns (I believe this is true for several other major languages, as well). Hence, for a noun that has gender, but whose gender is unknown, the correct pronoun is "he", rather than some silly construction such as "he/she" or the at worst flagrantly incorrect, at best vastly confusing singular "they". (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender-neutral_pronoun#Universa...)

I have a few bones to pick with this.

It's not the case that "he" is "the correct pronoun". First of all, any competent grammar nerd recognizes that correctness in language is defined by the consensus of fluent users (yes, that's a circular definition, get over it), and there's an open debate in English about what is a correct pronoun for unknown-gender individuals.

Also, "they" is not "flagrantly incorrect", and it's often perfectly clear. (It's certainly not always clear, but neither is "he".) It has a 500-year history, and I think the general rule is "Good enough for Shakespeare, good enough for me."

This was DigitalOcean's fault, for not supporting changed kernels without providing safeguards against kernel updates.
It's a system admin tip that's valuable in proportion to the number of Ubuntu VM images you have running. For some folks here, that's quite a few.

Note that in Erratasec's case, they need to have a diversity of VMs for real hacking. Go check out the the Ubertooth One mentioned in the article, it's badass.

I think this is a prime example of the vast potential of computers to generate material value beyond what we could have ever dreamed of in the 1960s. Finally I can avoid making all those painful driving time estimates. This is really a significant improvement over plugging the flight name into Google. It could save me seconds, no minutes of valuable time that I could be spending developing my revolutionary messaging app that allows you to send small cartoon images of ice cream cones to your friends and family for a nominal fee.
As already mentioned the problem is when they are looked at as sources of revenue. At first it's hey, they camera can make red lights safe. After some time, it becomes lets figure out how to make more money on fines and safety becomes secondary. Shortening yellow lights is the classic way to increase fines, but make the intersection less safe. Hiding them is another because if the goal is safety you want everyone to know there is a camera.
First, it's "niggardly". It's also worth pointing out that a lot of people learn the word "niggardly" and procede to use it solely to see if it offends someone.

Having keywords in your URLs is different than having an EMD.

The EMD update targeted the people who see the search volume for a specific keyword and then purchase exactkeyword.com to rank for that keyword.

But if I write a blog post about "red widgets in texas", it is still beneficial to have all, or some, of those keywords in my URL.

mywhateverblog.com/red-widgets-in-texas/ is better than mywhateverblog.com/?p=545
Yeah, I see this all the time. The best people leaves, leaving only the politicians to fight amongst themselves. Then the company implodes, or becomes a Zombie like Microsoft.
You need an external[1] as well as the internal; so you may as well get a cheap huge external (where capacity is important) and a fast internal (where speed is noticeable).
Super sweet, good luck. I personally got started in High School and would have loved more advanced classes.

The issue was that they bundled people together into the same computer class. We used to have people who didn't even know how to turn on a computer, much less make a Pascal game.

Good luck!
1. Deflation isn't fixed. Lenders have to make a guess about the spectrum of possible future rates of deflation, inflation, or even the abandonment of the currency.

2. Lenders seek profit, not revenue. 6% interest on 4% deflation is hardly greedy. You're ignoring the risk/reward ratio. Deflation causes defaults because existing loan costs become more onerous. 6% on 4% would almost certainly be a net loss after defaults. The high risk of default during deflation is part of why interest rates hit 18% in the 1980s.

3. Deflation is typically a product of most people having less access to your currency. Debtors would make an estimation that they could afford your loan at a lower-priced Bitcoin (in currency and labor costs). They'll be more likely to default when the currency is more scarce either due to the worse exchange rate of money or exchange rate of labor.

The Convergence of Social Design - The Industry
It's not just about confidence.

If the price is being driven by new speculative investment (ie, a bubble), the price should stagnate as fewer speculators join the pool. If the price stagnates, there will be little incentive for purely speculative investors to keep their money in BTC.

The last cynic buying in is just an indicator of late-adopters hitting the market, signaling little gains left to be had.
> As to being excluded in a more social sense, the best way to defeat that is not to care about it. It's basic human psychology that not caring about acceptance will make the other group members wonder why you don't care, which naturally enough and quickly makes you an insider.

You can't seriously believe this. This same argument is made in gaming about issues people have with how women are treated and depicted within that industry: "If you don't bring it up and act like it's a problem, people won't think it's a problem and therefore it won't happen." It's a total crock, not "basic human psychology".

Hateful people don't care that they're the minority; they'll type in all-caps, call you a crybaby, show up with their guns out for all to see, call you sheeple and claim their truth is the real truth regardless of their numbers.

In Australia many high-accident intersections have combination speed/red-light cameras.

It will get you if you speed.

It will get you if you go through the red light.

It will give you two tickets if you do both.

It's quite possible to lose your license in one drive-through.

(Penalties in Australia are very harsh. i.e. 30km/h (20mph) over is automatic loss of license on the spot)

d3 produces SVG graphics, which aren't supposed by versions earlier than IE 9.

There are ways to turn d3's SVG output into a canvas element. Those earlier version of IE also support VML, but I don't recall any quick ways of doing from d3 output to VML off the top of my head.
False. You do not support basic guides like highcharts, you are not the most intuitive and interactive for the browser... yet.

It seems like this feature is the most overlooked, and it is one of their strongest selling points. As you mouse along the chart regardless of your y axis it has guides that will show the datapoint tooltip information closest to your x axis if you have a line selected or have mouseover'd a line.

Your charting library is however well thought out, there are a few features that I would be interested in seeing from morris.js and rickshaw.
Some of the "experimental features of static type systems" like dependent types are really powerful; you can make some strong proofs about the logic of your program.

Yes, it is nice to be able to write proofs and have them checked mechanically. However, for nontrivial programs, even stating correctness (to a level of precision a proof checker can understand) is often very difficult. Once you've figured out how to do that, you still have to take the time to write the proof. There is also a cost associated with this capability even if you don't exercise it: dependent type systems (aside from things like Dependent ML, which restrict type indices to a much smaller language) tend not to play nicely with side effects like mutation, I/O, exceptions, nontermination, etc. So the proof system is not just something that's there for those times when you need it and fades away when you don't.
Yes, that's literally correct. But I read it as him also implicitly telling Michael to STFU. Interpretations can differ, but that's part of the point: one can be unambiguous by not writing 'STFU' anywhere in the message and since not being unambiguous is a choice....
AT&T Announces Intent to Build 1 Gigabit Fiber Network in Austin
Tell Texas it's available for immediate pickup. And start charging them by the hour (in gold) until they get it. Then watch them build a $50MM facility to store it.

Realistically though if the US gov't wants to store it for Texas I think they have the right. States have no authority to print money (which the Texas paranoid are probably getting at with this move) and Texas already seceded once.
I'll give you a nice example.

In 2008ish, I got a very official letter in the mail from the Illinois DOT. It was a ticket. It said that my vehicle had gone through a toll booth without paying and provided photographic evidence of my misdeed. I lived in MN and had a MN licensed vehicle. They had got my information via the MN DOT.

The problem is the picture showed a vehicle that was white (mine was black) that most definitely did not have a MN license plate and I was fairly sure the photo showed the wrong plate number.

The other small problem was that I was driving a Chevy Cavalier and the photo was the front of a Freightliner. I believe that an 18 wheeler is a tad bit different from my car and even requires a different license to drive. One which I didn't possess(1).

We will ignore that I was in ND at the time of the incident.

I called and had to talk to multiple people, many suggesting I should come into the office. I pointed out that it was a bit of a drive that I had not previously done and had no intention of doing now. They eventually voided the ticket after 327 minutes of phone calls(2) spread over two weeks.

"In California, there are even efforts to eliminate the appeal process entirely."

I want to be able to face my accuser, and be pulled over by the same at the time of the incident.

I do believe their is an amendment banning such things.

1) I have had a license like it in the past, but never the air brake endorsement required to drive a Freightliner.

2) yes I remember, much like I remember certain billable hours from my consulting days
Texas has no income tax. Federal tax applies equally to living in any state and seems ridiculous to mention.

I'm not sure Denver is a very good city to base this on. I've lived in Denver now for 3 years and I've never seen so many people run red lights in my life! It's absolutely considered "normal" here.
Because issuing tickets is a source of revenue.

I'd love red light cameras if they were designed to make the roads safe, but that's a secondary concern.

This is a semi-common occurrence when I'm bicycling. I once waited for more than 10 minutes, just to see how long it would take.
That is a very presumptuous observation. Reviews are subjective by definition. I have also spent a certain sum of money buying apps I could not return, despite the great reviews. For instance, many apps have very backwards UI's that I have no patience for, but some reviewers are seemingly OK with.

Apple certainly doesn't owe anyone a trial system, but more than anything I find it odd they don't see the value of it. For instance, it would arguably result in far more impulsive purchases.

Indeed, in Germany we have speed cameras installed next to streets, we have mobile speed cameras in cars that are parked on the site of the street and specifically for the autobahn the police has cars and bikes with cameras that allow them to measure your speed and I think even safety distance while driving.

I always assumed you would find them everywhere.

The law must always be enforced with an element of common sense. Red light cameras lack all common sense.

That is amazingly well said. Spot-on.
You're right, and it's fixed. Thanks for the spelling correction.

For purely practical reasons, I don't think it's a good idea to go around saying "niggardly", and I acknowledge that some people use it in order to offend. The point I intended to imply was simply that it was PC overcorrection when they fired the guy (I don't believe he was trying to offend, but my memory's not perfect.)

The hourly, broken-up billing is a smokescreen; for exactly what you get out of a (now) Linode 1024, you'd pay $50+/month or so on AWS. Don't forget total bandwidth, an elastic IP, and so on.

Thats a really big question. There are a lot of factors that go into the definition of environment, so as i am short on time - Ill focus on that which is before me:

Big monitor, large and clean work surface, snappy machine and a great mouse!

Honestly, the biggest thing that reduces my productivity instantly is no mouse or a crappy mouse.

I use 24/27 inch monitors at work and at home - but honestly, I am beginning to think that a single 30 inch is best (I have dual 24's at home and a single 24 at work) - I prefer a single larger screen over two...

It's not that HN is anti humour. It's that by upvoting jokes and the like, you encourage everyone to toss in their oh-so-clever jokes and the level of discussion runs even further downhill. Reddit's there if you want that; HN _tries_ at least to avoid some of the bottom-level commenting.
Well, if you don't attach the Firepad instance to the element and it's in a closure I'm pretty sure you couldn't modify it. I'd love to be corrected if this is incorrect.

Stupid question but what kinds of projects are people using Yeoman & Brunch etc for? I've been getting into lots of frontend MV* recently; a mix of stuff that I put in the Rails asset pipeline at work, and fun hacks on the weekend which I tend to use Brunch or Yeoman for.

Are people using Yeoman apps in production? How does it work deploying them & handling load etc etc? I'm assuming that Yeoman is more useful than just toy projects?
I just checked with Linode support, and their backup pricing will be adjusted to match with the old rates as well. So if you’ve been paying $5/month for backup service, your price will stay the same post-migration.
I'm running my micro-VPS on TransIP which offers 1GB mem, 50GB HD, 1TB traffic for €10/month.

It's not the same as $10 a month but it's less than $20 and their support is excellent (5+ year customer, but more for their excellent DNS management console.)
Another issue is that the companies who install them specify in their contract a minimum number of tickets that the camera has to generate per month and they are guaranteed an specific amount of money if that quota is not met.

You may want to mention that the Python library is not thread-safe, since it essentially uses a global variable to store the logged statements until the middleware writes them to the response. Shouldn't be a problem when used with a development server, though.

ISS Space Station May Test 'Spooky' Entanglement Over Largest Distance Yet
Thanks for using the app, and I'm sorry if we let you down on an international arrival. It happens - customs and baggage claim are both pretty unpredictable.

As it turns out, we do try to factor additional time for international customs, but it's just an average since there's no real-time data available on customs wait times (which vary widely by airport, time of day, what passport the traveler has, and season). I also expect the customs folks don't make this information available because perhaps it would raise an airport security issue that could be exploited. In any case, I plan to submit freedom of information act requests for customs wait times, baggage wait times, and airport security wait times (that latter the TSA currently collects, but only makes available via their myTSA app).

Anyone have experience with filing freedom of information act requests, who might be able to help?
