Data-driven visualizations like these seem well-suited for data exploration, but the suggestion that scientists lives will change for the better from them seems like a stretch. I'm not just talking about constructing original visualizations like "Feynman Diagrams". As far as communicating science goes, plots need to be "as simple as possible but not simpler" and as reproducible as the science. If I see a paper with some homebrew plot and I can't immediately compare my data to it, that's a problem.
I think the author summed it up well: "There is a niche where MongoDB can work well."

s/MongoDB/Any technology/g

The size of the niche varies. The lesson is to be sure the choices you make are appropriate for your situation, and be aware that things may change if new requirements emerge or scale needs to go beyond what you projected. These concerns are not specific to MongoDB. It is a rare project that goes from prototype to small scale to large scale on its original implementation technology choices.
That's not true, at least not here in Vancouver (though a lot of the Chinese here still tend to prefer cash). Many American banks have quite attractive rewards for using credit cards, so many people opt to use credit cards instead.

The browser follows the link. The browser can absolutely be checking for malware links, and warning you before you follow them. And you should be able to configure your browser to not do that, if you don't want it to.

So, it's not "damned if they do, damned if they don't," from my point of view, they have to do it in the right place. Within Skype itself is absolutely not the right place.

Except as an email admin, the answers aren't the same. Suddenly getting all your emails as bouncing, and the receivers won't tell you why? Maybe some retard marked your IP as dynamic or dialup. Get a whole swath of people unsubscribing after you send a bunch of emails? Pretty sure sign to tone it down a bit.

I don't appreciate getting bogged down in automated emails anymore than the next person, but that's one of the reasons I don't hand out my email address very often. People should really be careful who they give their email address to, and less websites should require an email address for anything but business and very obvious newsletters.
Great mentality, especially considering how bad stubbornness can be personally and professionally. Might want to reconsider the second part. "Weakly held" suggests that you just rollover when there's an idea that might be better. It's more beneficial to have an objective, possibly heated discussion that leads to the right decision without any ill will. My approach is to have 'defendable opinions.' If you have more legitimate reasons for your thought, more often than not it's the right way to go.

Props on working it into your company culture

Anyone who's been around the US knows that San Francisco has one of the most visible homeless populations in the country.

It's interesting to note that SF also has perhaps the strongest "social safety net" programs in the country.

I don't understand how the author then makes the jump to "we need more social safety net programs."

Maybe we should just run them effectively.

Also the characterization of the social lives of SV employees is just plain wrong, but that's a tangential point.

professional gymnasts heavily abuse PEDs. Taking enough test you can build more muscle sitting on your ass than someone lifting heavy weights naturally.
As far as burning calories goes, it doesn't burn more calories during the actual exercise: it burns more calories overall because the HIIT raises your metabolism more post-workout. There have been done studies on this so you can search for them if you want.

Europe isn't all the same.

In the U.K. you get various benefits if you are unemployed and that includes accommodation normally - though there is a waiting list (and people with children are top of the list) and job seekers allowance.

Health is free (NHS) for everyone it doesn't matter if you have a job are rich/poor, have a job etc.

There are some people who are homeless - though it's not particularly common due to government support.

[However, I don't claim to be an expert on benefits system here, as I've never used them - fortunately]
Is that really a broken system or just a few bad apples?

Hopefully we can pinpoint the leaks, identify why they occurred, and develop safeguards to prevent abuses of highly confidential data in the future.

Send the assholes who used their government position for evil to prison and make THAT the top news story.

EDIT: The system will repeatedly be broken in an ever-changing environment. That doesn't mean that we should turn against our government as a whole. Patch the holes, prevent it from happening in the future, do our best to allow the right amount of transparency, and move on.
England: If you're a danger to yourself or to other people there are various powers to detain you under section of the Mental Health Act.

If you're in public a police officer will use a section 136 - that's to take you to a place of safety and have you assessed by doctors.

If you're in a hospital nurses and doctors have powers to detain you for short times for you to be assessed.

If you're in your home your "nearest relative" (that person is defined in law) can ask the community mental health to consider assessing you. They must consider your request, but they don't have to do an assessment.

Or you can ask for an assessment. Or you could ask for a visit from your crisis[1] team, and they'll suggest an assessment.

In general it is much better to be an informal patient (someone who goes into hospital voluntarily) rather than someone detained under section.

In theory there should be a bunch of checks and measures. But, well, it's an imperfect world.

If you are ever detained you should ask for the Code of Practice (they have to have a copy available for patients. They have to help you read it if you're having trouble reading) and for an advocate. (They must make advocacy available for you.) make a record of everything that is said to you.

"I think an addition would be to charge the drivers the cost of repair"

The cost of a repair to a bridge?

Maybe if the driver's employer is Fedex perhaps but even then the worse case scenario is the driver looses his job but I'm sure that already happens regardless of cost impact.
let's face the obvious (actually insanelly obvious). Money is the most important thing in life. If you are strong and poor, you will live less.
Particularly rich media streaming and basic application availability.

BB10 now allows you to browse the web without fault (and includes Flash). Things like banking applications I couldn't live without. Of the advertised "thousands and thousands" of applications in BlackBerry World, I have only downloaded two (2).

Unfortunately the things that previous versions of BBOS were great at (phone, messaging, heat dissipation, sound amplification) were no where to be found on BB10.
I came here to write this exact thing. I'm 33 and freelanced for the better part of the last 15 years. At the time I thought it was a blessing, but the industry I mainly serve is over saturated and I'm finding it difficult to find a group that will hire someone like me.

If I could do it again I would have gone to school and worked through an agency as my main stream while working on select projects in the side.

I don't think the author is talking about the spacebar being disabled entirely, at least that hasn't been my experience. What I've observed is that the space bar fails to act as a complete page-down - it only moves the page by lines.
> As a family member though, I'm not convinced that my non-technical parents, grandparents, siblings and so on really need root-level access to their hardware.

This is completely orthogonal to the issue. Opposing the DMCA does not preclude device manufacturers from implementing access restriction technologies. For most people the Apple App Store could function basically the same with or without the DMCA. The crux of the issue is whether circumventing these technologies should be illegal.

I don't think it should be.
I think there's a difference between being (1) healthy (2) strong (3) strong as can be. There's an argument for being healthy, an argument for being strong, but I don't see an argument for being as strong as you can be. Other parts of your life would suffer if you focused on strength at the expense of all else.

He assumes the system will have an executable named "bash".

As this 0day is written, rename bash to sh and it will fail. Better yet, remove bash from your system and replace it with a simpler POSIX compliant sh.

No respectable systemwide shell script should rely on bash anyway.

> It is part of the maturation process and realize that the world is not a fair place, and no not everybody is equal and will live equally

That realization is indeed part of the maturation process.

What you are talking about is both this and desensitization. The former is unquestionably necessary and a "good thing", the latter is a self defence mechanism humans have to being exposed to emotionally troubling things.

You/we could absolutely do a lot to alleviate this, it would just be a lot of work. You couldn't single-handedly solve the problem obviously, but that's a different question. I'm not even saying people have a moral obligation to act, but if you are going to decide not to then at least be honest about the reasons. It avoids a lot of painful cognitive dissonance at the very least.

It's definitely emotionally helpful to believe you can't do anything about it, but it's pretty definitively not true. Seems especially weird to suggest that here, in a community of self described "disruptors".
"Yes, the American Southeast, the powerhouse of economic growth, apparently. At least by this measure."

Well, duh. It shouldn't be that astounding. The Southeast has for a long time been a "powerhouse of economic growth", because, as much as we don't like to admit it, the US is still a highly manufacturing-reliant economy. And where is the biggest manufacturing region (especially in new development)? The Southeast.
> As for that water sign ... why don't they put it further back and have a way for offending vehicles to exit in front of it? Am I missing something?

The projected-onto-water sign relies, for visibility, on the fact that is in front of a tunnel that is dark (hence why the lights near the entrance shut down when it activates), so it wouldn't work farther back; it also makes the road wet and incrementally more dangerous for all drivers, which is why it makes sense for the more normal insistent flashing signs, etc., to be placed farther back and the water sign to be a last resort even before considering visibility issues.

The best article I found on this was "Everything You Know About Fitness Is A Lie" [1]

I'd summarize the contents as:
1- Most gyms are 45% cardio, 45% stretching 10% weights. This is bad.
2- You need to lift heavy things.
3- There are no shortcuts.

Favorite excerpt:
My conversion moment came in a garage-like industrial space next to an ATV rental yard in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. I was lying on a concrete floor, near puking, having just humiliated myself on the king of all strength exercises, the old-school back squat. "The best thing I can do for an athlete," coach Rob Shaul said to me as I struggled to get up, "is to make him strong. Strength is king, and you're fucking little-girl weak."

Nothing that matters has changed. Principles are principles, not something that are subject to the changing whims of the government, or even some fleeting public zeitgeist.
Agreed, I don't know of any research that would back up such a claim.
My understanding is unless you have a couple succesful businesses under your belt it's hard to get investor interest pre-traction. The other thing investors are going to look at is barriers to entry. if your up and running proving your business model works and making good profits how hard is it for someone to come along charge less and take your business from you.

To produce such a result much death and destruction would have had to continue to create the blockade and then to enforce it. Since we're guessing here on possible outcomes of what ifs, I would think it likely that would have resulted in famine among the civilian population.

Plus there's the conspiracy theory that the US cutting off Japan of necessary war materials is what led to Pearl Harbor in the first place.

But I agree, it wasn't the only option. They could have waged the same war to the bitter end, starved them out, use nukes, asked nicely for them to stop, or who knows how many more. Options were presented, an option was chosen.

Nevertheless, this has nothing to do with my complaint of lack of context of the reasoning for using nuclear weapons at the time.
If you have a lot of tabs open, you are going to use a lot of memory. Lazy tab loading helps after a restart, but there's unfortunately no way to just tell a tab to go away until you click on it again.

I'm not really sure what Interac is, but a large number of European credit cards aren't credit cards, they are debit cards, issued by your bank. The cards are co-branded VISA or MasterCard. Some countries have they own national cards, Denmark has Dankort, the Netherlands have they own, Finland is dropping theirs I think, and I'm sure there's more.

The point is that the European rules for credit cards is EVERY different from the US. Signatures are no longer valid, you need the PIN and a lot of ATM and terminals will only read the chip. New terminals without chip read won't get approved.

Launching a swipe terminal is catering to a dying marked.
The truth is, you don't have any idea what they're doing because they don't tell anybody.

And bodybuilders aren't notorious for being juiced up? People that are in very competitive sports aren't in it for the fitness, they are in it to win, even if it wrecks their body (and their integrity). No amateur should follow a high-level professionals regimen verbatim, if all she wants is the fitness.

Anyway, aren't some gymnast exercises very demanding, and demand a lot of functional strength? Even if not, with some basic props and your body there is a lot of difficult things that you can do - handstand pushups, one-armed handstand pushups, muscle up, one armed pullup, L-sit...
I lift weights, and the above passage is religious horseshit, like much of what I've read in books about weight lifting. I didn't become happier when I could lift more. I couldn't have cared less, and I only lift weights because it's considered beneficial by medical experts.

The worst part about weight lifting isn't setting aside time to lift weights; the worst part is consuming information produced by weight lifters.
Joshua Schachter's Tasty Labs acquired by Wal-Mart Labs
Starting Strength is bandied about like the bible of fitness. While it is a great read, especially for beginners, you should take any such cult following with a grain of salt.

For anyone who has never done free weights I cannot recommend enough the need for finding a competent trainer when you are starting out. Although SS goes into great detail on how to properly perform the lifts nothing compare with having a professional evaluate your form.

This is even more important in a sport like lifting where often times the first hint that you are not using proper form is through injury.

The big catch to this advice is that most professional/fitness trainers are worthless. I don't have any advice on how to weed out the good ones from the bad ones other than getting recommendations from someone you trust.
I find it ridiculous to think that early telephone companies did not abuse the privilege their hardware gave them.

Even if we had strict regulations, it would be all but impossible to prove impropriety of the snooping variety.

I think this is a problem we've always had that is being magnified by technology that allows us to realize that it is occurring.

Wow, that's just unbelievable... You are saying:

"...some [US] laws were created against the best interests of [all] American citizens..."

because "...you don't want rampant terrorist attacks and criminal activity..."

defined as "...citizens who do not want to follow the laws that keep us civil..."

Reconstructed: US government has a system of laws that are against the best interests of all US citizens because some of those citizens don't like the laws the US government uses.

Really? That's deep.

When homeless people can be monetized, they will be, and they will grow the GDP because as we know, this is the only measure of real progress ("economic 'progress'"). The more homeless, the more money, the higher the GDP. Welcome to America. Or the world for that matter.

The US is all about fuck you, I got mine. If it hasn't spread to your doorstep (I find this hard to believe as it's a general societal trend, not specific to the US) you aren't looking hard enough.

At least you don't have people arguing abou scala or ruby or language xyz on your doorstep. If you did, you might prefer the homeless too.
