An important part of this equation is why you lived in that country. If you spent a month in Canada for work expecting "the travel experience", you're doing it wrong. The point here is to spend "a significant enough" amount of time in "a significant enough" of a different culture such that you gain some insight into humanity that you otherwise don't get from eating out at Chili's on Wednesdays, or any of the other huge number of vapid things most people fill their lives with, especially in the United States.

Or, join the army, and see the other side of travel. And that's a serious suggestion.

I would imagine the homogeneity in most forms (race, creed, income status, class, political views, etc) reduce conflict and crime. Such homogeneity is not always a good thing though; in the US, at least, we ostensibly follow the "melting pot" philosophy.

Once you're in prison I dunno, but the Japanese police in general are pretty low-key and community oriented, and seem to try hard to resolve problems without officially involving "the justice system." They're quite palpably less threatening than American police in my experience.

It's not just violent crime (something which might be affected by harsh penalties for such) which is rare in Japan, but petty crime as well. As far as I can figure, it's because of strong societal bonds and low income disparities, and that there's less of the sort of sense of disenfranchisement/alienation which seems so common in e.g. the U.S.

BloombergBlack: A Threat to Its Terminal Clients?
One difference is that there is no need to explicitly subscribe to signals. For general functions, knockout requires manually declaring "myViewModel.property.subscribe(...)" for each model you need to subscribe to. In contrast, Reactor's observer blocks automatically detect which signals you have read and sets up the subscriptions automatically.

Knockout has a different class for ko.computed vs ko.observable. For Reactor you use "Signal" for both and just pass in a function when its computed. Additionally there is no need for the trailing "this" at the end of ko.computed.
Why does it take so long to check in at hotels?
Uh, how about having an open conversation between employer and employee on how to foster the employee's growth within the company?

I've only worked for a few companies, but when I was hired as a full time employee, there was no expectation I'd be doing the same job forever. If anything, there was an expectation that I'd grow in role and responsibility.

Now, being a contractor is different--in that case you typically are hired to perform specific duties, and if the duties change, the contract should be updated to reflect that.

Some of the other issues I can see from following Rick's approach):
* short termism, especially as you get to the end of your working period
* loss of good people as they move on after you fire them
* workforce ridigity ("I wasn't hired for that")

In short, I appreciate the provocative nature of the post, but see some real fundamental problems in his solution.

My livelihood depends on not being targeted by trolls, and companies that fight back against trolls help me avoid the damned near certain destruction of my company that a patent troll could cause me (I'd, ethically, be compelled to fight...but I simply don't have the resources to win such a fight).
It is my understanding that the "autocomplete" event being referenced here, is after you 1 - ask the browser to autocomplete, 2 - the user is shown what will be shared, and accept to share it.

The problem is, COCOM says:

GPS devices should disable themselves when at an altitude above 60,000 feet AND a speed faster than 1,000 knots

Whereas some vendors read it:

GPS devices should disable themselves when at an altitude above 60,000 feet OR a speed faster than 1,000 knots

Which effectively disables your cheap GPS dongle in your home-made stratospheric balloon, which is quite capable of reaching 30 km, above the COCOM altitude spec.

Sometimes it's quite tricky to figure out if a given receiver is an AND or an OR.

Does anyone remember when plan 9 was released (I certainly don't, I'm too young) under a pseudo-open source license that contained a clause to the effect of "If you sue lucent in an ip case you lose your right to use plan 9". Imagine if people had actually adopted plan 9, since unlike real NPEs, victims could probably sue alcatel for infringing on patents of their own, although this doesn't seem to be the case yet.
This is bizarre. This piece insinuates, with not a shred of evidence, that Google+ identity data is linked to Google Analytics data, and there is zero evidence that this is the case, or that it even makes any sense. (For starters, Google Analytics tracking code never touches the google.com domain in any kind of way and thus couldn't be used to link to account information.)

Given that Google was, essentially, the only meaningful provider of either a public federated XMPP service or a RSS feed reader[1], that seems like a pretty weak argument. If there's no community, was it ever really open?

[1] Calling Google's 100% proprietary (albeit publicly documented) reader protocol an "open standard" is a bit of a stretch, FWIW. Google certainly isn't refusing to support RSS on its blog offerings.

This argument is self-contradictory. You yourself say "Make sure that your needle is something that brings massive value to the lives of your potential users and most importantly." What is the "needle" you're referring to if not an idea?

An entrepreneur can ace everything you list in this post but if he's working on a bad idea he'll still fail. The best you can say from what you've written is "if you start out without a good idea, maybe you can iterate yourself into one. Maybe."

And there is a big difference between something being "not salable" and "not valuable". I can't sell my right arm but it's still pretty darn crucial to me.
Great quote from the book 'Net Magic', by Lee Siegel:

“I’m writing a book on magic,” I explain, and I’m asked, “Real
magic?” By real magic people mean miracles, thaumaturgical acts,
and supernatural powers. “No,” I answer: “Conjuring tricks, not
real magic.” Real magic, in other words, refers to the magic
that is not real, while the magic that is real, that can
actually be done, is not real magic.

The parallel is limited, of course, because you can be employed in a "real job" / "regular job". But the point is, when people say "real job" they don't mean that other jobs are not real things, they mean that they don't fully have the property of job-ness. And I'd argue that they're right, and that's exactly why many people don't want to have a "real job". Some people want a job that has only SOME of the properties of job-ness.

(some of the properties of "job-ness": pays enough to raise a family, has reasonable security, has the thing they call "benefits", telegraphs information about you to people who want to make a snap judgement about you (including e.g. your extended family), keeps you busy from 8am to 6pm, gives you a defined social role and a defined social context)

No he's mocking the idea that the FBI sanctioned the attacks. As far as I can tell, all major hacks by lulzsec predate the conversion of Sabu, but even if the FBI had control of Sabu before some of the attacks, that does not mean the FBI sanctioned them.

At best the FBI decided it was more important to catch these people than it was to prevent the leaking of some cc's.

One issue with submodules is if they rebase and GC out the commit you're pointing to, you're going to have a bad time.

This may not be a problem when pointing to the commit of a stable tag, but when pointing to a development commit that might be rebased out later, you may find the submodule not to work.

Not to mention if the server hosting the submodule is down and now all of a sudden you can't redeploy.

One workaround is to fork the submodule and point to a commit in your fork.
> So... you're saying it should have been conceived of as a particular file type and attached, like all other non-message-related elements?

No, if I was saying that, you would have seen those words in my message rather than yours. If you want to say that, go ahead, but don't misattribute it to me.

But if you were to make that argument, I'd probably point out that its not "non-message-related" (actually, the biggest problem I have with it -- at least with the examples -- is that rather than adding semantic markup to the main content its all done by adding largely-redundant markup to the <head> element of the main content; I'm not sure if this is required, though, and I would hope it isn't since schema.org microdata doesn't normally require this mechanism, and this style is an uncomfortable hybrid between separate attachments than embedded semantic context.)

And the file type is HTML. I don't see why an additional filetype is needed for this.

> Would Google encode a vcf file in JSON and embed it in the message?

I would be very much unsurprised if Google expanded its schemas-in-email support to include the schema.org Person type [1] and related types needed to support it, which provide the functionality provided by vCard (and a lot more). Since, after all, Google already supports that schema type for rich snippets in search.

[1] http://www.schema.org/Person

> How is handling VCF different than handling other optionally-actionable data?

vCard was a solution that was well adapted to the state of internet communications in 1995, but not necessarily the best model for new functionality in 2013.

Yah, you're right. Maybe I should've said, ideas with no execution. My point is, the needle is useless without an a solid execution behind it.
You're in the minority and I'd suspect your anomalous data is lost in the noise.

While I think Google+ came out the gate as a budding Facebook killer, and given the initial internal alignment of the company tying everyone's yearly bonus to its success, I suspect Google was hoping for exactly that, no matter how much retro conning the tech bloggers spin.

Because the two things that killed Google+'s chances were first the ridiculous real names debacle which was a literal turd in the punchbowl corporate move, followed shortly thereafter by internally flip-flopping and reassigning the bonus for Google+'s success to the Google+ team and the Google+ team alone, safely ensconced away from the googler scum in their tawp sekrit(tm) tower on the Googleplex.

Ha! There are loads of accounts of the falsely accused getting locked up with zero due process. You can find yourself in an unheated cell and forced to kneel on the floor face against the wall for hours a day under threat of beatings before things are sorted out weeks later. Read about the death penalty in Japan for a taste of how they operate. You get killed in secret and your execution is announced months after the fact. None of this years of appeals stuff.

He also did a talk at Google (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfg_e6YG37U) and near the end someone asks about stand up desks.

The problem the author has might not be due to the standing desk but more with his posture. The standing desk probably exacerbated the problem.

When the teacher stands at the front of the class and says, "Are there any questions? ... Anyone? Everyone understood everything?" and the students remain silent, looking at each other and hoping the other students will ask a question, the students are doing so because they don't even know how to ask a question. Their confusion is so deep that they cannot articulate what their confusion is. They don't know what they don't know - but they know they don't know something.
I'm actually moving away from Oahu to the mainland to take a job that pays a little better than entry level salary, solely because my entire life up until now has been completely lacking in the 9-to-5, and I've been offered a "regular job" in the "regular world" in Austin by one of the coolest dudes I've ever met, to work on an awesome open source project in two of my favorite languages on one of my favorite operating systems. I think my work environment -- and specifically the people I'll be working with -- over the next year is going to help give me perspective that I've been missing in my life for about ten years.

I can understand this situation completely. I spend most of my days lounging around my house by myself watching old episodes of Star Trek and hacking on whatever project I feel like that day.

Best of luck to you in this endeavor!
Hi there. Really good point. Python Weekly, which inspired me, has that and so we'll add that in soon. Really appreciate the suggestion
Probably the biggest point to take away from the article is this:

> For years, I tirelessly repeated that D-Wave hadn’t even provided evidence that its qubits were entangled—and that, while you can have entanglement with no quantum speedup, you can’t possibly have a quantum speedup without at least the capacity to generate entanglement. Now, I’d say, D-Wave finally has cleared the evidence-for-entanglement bar—and, while they’re not the first to do so with superconducting qubits, they’re certainly the first to do so with so many superconducting qubits.

In other words, this is the first actual evidence that D-Wave even has the potential for quantum speedup.
The definition is loose because everyone does it differently, and finds something different.

You should look into Buddhism, or Yoga (which is many many things, only one of which is doing poses on the floor). What most people never understand is that there is a lot of introspection, thinking, reflecting, noticing, altering, and understanding that you should be doing.

One example: by concentrating on your breathing (and I mean really noticing everything about every aspect of the action of taking a breath and what happens before, during, after, etc etc) you will learn things. You will learn how your body works. You will learn what it sounds like when you breathe. You will learn how deep a breath you can take. You will learn how long you can hold it. You will learn how your posture can affect it. You will learn how your breath affects your immediate surrounding. How it can affect your mood. How it can alter sensation. How it can be changed. How it can be tuned. And a million more things, just from spending time thinking about and tinkering with your breathing.

You can take this one concept of constantly noticing, evaluating, and learning about all the possible aspects of one single thing, and begin to do the same thing as you travel, or as you volunteer, or as you do any thing at all.

This is why the concepts of travel, volunteer, etc are so broad. There is an infinite number of possible things to influence your brain, which will alter every possible thing about you (the way you think, talk, speak, act, etc). But you can't just stand in a room and wait for enlightenment. It's an active process. You must seek out change by taking everything in and thinking about it. It doesn't happen overnight.
It seems like many posts could be boiled down to that simple attitude: why not talk about it? If you're unhappy in your position with your employer, or vice versa, start a dialog to try to change things. Don't allow yourself to hate your work, or start slipping in quality, if you don't have to.

Having an open dialog with management could allow you to change positions, roles, or, if necessary, leave the company for another.
