Right. I'm aware of how your service uses the information, and it is very reasonable. The issue for me and a small number of other users (5-6 billion? not sure) is that FB does not have all of the information your service needs.
Some governments, certainly, are fickle and small-minded. Others decidedly less so. The Harper government, e.g., has chosen a chiropractor as its science and technology minister.
I am from Brazil, and I must ask:

Why the US citizens and government propaganda insists that US is about freedom, when US ignores its own constitution, takes away freedom from its citizens, and most important to me, takes away freedom from citizens of other countries while claiming to do the exact opposite?

I am from Brazil, and many people here remember the US backed (and enforced sometimes) rightwing government that we had during the cold war.

Many people remember their loved ones that will never come back from our prisons, or from CIA hands.

Many people in many countries, why the US come to "save" them, and instead put in power people like Saddam Hussein, Hosni Mubarak, Castelo Branco, Augusto Pinochet, Mohammad Pahlavi, and many, many, many others.

US only care about its corporations, it only fights to defend its profits, it is clear when it kicked João Goulart out of Brazil for supporting agrarian reform and other left-leaning policies, when it helped rebels kill both Lybia and Iraq leaders after they stopped selling oil for USD, when it "saved" Afghanistan from URSS by training Osama Bin Laden...

I think it is a outrage that people around the world only started to remember 11 of september after the Trade Center was attacked, not after US bombed Chile (9/11/1973) and forcefully kicked out a elected president to "save" chileans and give them "democracy" in the form of a oppressive dictator friendly to US business.

Interesting article. There are better ways of looking at memory allocations in .NET code, however, including CLR allocation profiler, WinDBG, VMMap, and tools from Telerik, Jetbrains, ANTS etc that take away a lot of the guess work. Still, kudos to the author for not doing an immediate re-pave.

But in all seriousness they are interested in implementing generics, just not in a hurry to do it. It doesn't seem unreasonable to me to label it a low priority feature compared to other things they have added to Go. Java got along just fine before generics (which are arguably poor) and C still gets along fine without them. The Go authors are saying, lets add Generics when we are all happy about the solution and feel we are going to get it "right".
I thought so as well, but they just pushed out an update at the end of March. https://support.google.com/picasa/answer/93773?hl=en
I've seen Gorilla (http://www.gorillatoolkit.org/) used quite a bit. The standard library is also good enough for small and quick things.
Certainly there will be cases where there are conflicts between different versions of packages, but Go's current behavior doesn't prevent them; it just makes them happen unpredictably. Instead of building against a specific known version, you're just using whichever one happened to be the most recent as of the first time you referenced it.

If B1 and B2 are really incompatible, then yes, there's a problem; but not being able to solve the problem completely in all cases doesn't mean we need to throw our hands in the air and not even try to handle the simple cases. I think it's telling that Google uses a custom build system for their Go projects, rather than "go get".

(And forking all of your dependencies is an option, but it's not quite that simple. In order to get truly reproducible builds, you have to mirror all of their dependencies as well, and patch all of your forked versions to fix their imports.)

2nd Amendment jurisprudence way back when didn't think that.

Among other things, how could the states be allowed to prevent the Congress from calling up the militia, one of the latter's enumerated powers?

You're also skipping the step in 14th Amendment jurisprudence where it was explicitly passed to protect freedmen from things like stripping them of the RKBA, and it was judicially nullified in 5 years. That the Supremes started taking it seriously decades later is not a bad thing, at least if you care about the rule of law. That they took 140 years to apply it to the 2nd Amendment has more than a little to do with today's lack of respect for a Federal government which all too often holds itself as being above the law.
Minimum customization right now, but I'm open to add more options if specific ones are in high demand.
Give me a break - I'll assume you're just woefully uninformed. For example:

It's definitely doable either way but having a fixed maximum mailbox size makes a lot of things a lot easier. Individual users get moved in smaller and bounded chunks, you can spec storage utilization as a simple function of number of users and not worry about shuffling people around as mailboxes grow, things like that.
> Does Go have a defacto web framework?

There's a few, but I think it's still too early to really call out a "defacto" framework.

Revel, as mentioned, is a popular "full stack" framework, but it can be pretty heavy. web.go[1] gets a lot of use (it sits at a Flask/Sinatra level), and beego[5] looks good but it's also totally acceptable to plug a few libraries together without much work on top.

For example, I'm using:

- mux, sessions, schema & context from Gorilla[2]

- go.auth for social sign-in [3]

- the RethinkDB driver [4]

... and that's about it. Write your routes with mux, set up your handlers with auth/sessions/schema, and generate your models & queries with whatever DB you want. The standard html/template library is good enough (and there's a Mustache library if you need it), and the standard http library covers everything in between.

TL;DR: If you enjoy writing Flask/Sinatra apps, you'll enjoy writing Go web apps. If you're coming from a full-stack framework (like me), there is definitely a learning curve, but I feel that Go's documentation and std. lib flatten that out a little.

"do you want scientist to go around looking for money all the time"

That's what they do anyways in a granting regime.

cronyism isn't a problem when it's their own money (yes, I'm sidestepping the fact that there are corporations that have very, very ill-gotten gains) they're putting up. When it's our money, taken without our consent, filtered through a barely-accountable bureaucracy... That's a problem.

I wrote it above, and I'll write it here, too - the fundamental problem is that "good basic science" really requires a certain level of budgetary and intellectual freedom and no accountability besides "don't lie". "good governance" demands for its projects an accounting of how money is going to be spent beforehand, and accountability if the project goes south - these are a little bit incompatible with how generally science projects should be run (but perfectly fine for, say, building a road, operating a judiciary, or, yes a limited subset of science projects like going to the moon).

I think this is one reason why science has been derailed of late, with record levels of fraud and misconduct.
It wasn't.

Although it remains to be seen if this means much of anything, the changes on the ground to date are minimal to nothing. They recently denied cert in an appeal of NY's capricious concealed carry laws, and have given Illinois extra time to appeal an opposite direction decision against it. Keep and bear arms, after all.

Now, you can hardly judge a country on one or two acts of unrelated political activism abroad... :P

More seriously, it's complex--painting it in the simplest broad strokes of "The US only cares about corporations" is unfair. The US is not the US; it's a combination of local, state, and federal governments and bureaucracies.

There's almost certainly near no magical evil council sitting atop it all scheming about how to wring profits from other countries at any cost; instead, we have the misguided actions and interactions of generally well-meaning people that are so segregated from the big picture and scared of losing their jobs that they make mistakes which snowball.

Not surprising that the drama bomb meta subreddits are the biggest connectors (TrueRedditDrama being the largest graphically).

More specifically, Gitlow v. New York, 1925. Before then, the Supreme Court ruled in Barron v. Baltimore, that the Constitution's Bill of Rights applied only to the federal government [1] and had only recently looked at the 5th amendment w.r.t. the 14th.

Fun factoid #2, most states had (varying degrees of) "official" religions. This 14th amendment ruling also ended state support of religion in the few states that hadn't changed their constitutions by that time.

Fun factoid #3: This ruling happend about a month before the Scopes trial [2]. Interesting time the 1920s.

>Adequate battery life and perfomance and the importance of pocketability and improved UX are all subjective.

It's true that "adequate battery life" does not have a hard, very specific answer, and it's more of a range (and also depends on the capabilities of the era and what users are used to have).

But it's still not "all subjective". E.g if somebody says "1 hour mp3 player battery life is totally fine for me" -- doesn't mean he has a valid opinion that people should respect. In fact, he would probably be laughed off any product design meeting. (Sure, it can be fine "for him". But that's like saying "being hit with a stick if fine for me" if you are a masochist. In no way it represents what would work for most people).

>Personally, I always thought iPods had a terrible UX for forcing you to use iTunes instead of just mounting the drive

That was its definitive advantage. Just mounting the drive would be the backwards option, for people used to manage their own directories instead of letting the computer do it for them.

With iTunes they got people to also grasp the concept of file metadata, playlists, arbitrary organization based on tags and smart playlist queries, etc. And it opened the road for work on them offering a Store, iTunes Match et al.

>And that he just took into account those two reasons is just speculation.

It's based on the only data we have. What he actually said, and the reasons he gave for saying it.

The same office released the confidential application documents of conservative groups to ProPublica.

Perhaps you could argue that digging into these groups was being 'prudent', if that was in fact all they did. (I'm not buying it - being opposed to taxation has nothing to do with the eligibility requirements for a 501c4.)

But whatever could be the justification for sharing a confidential application with the press, if not partisan politics? That's actually a felony, not that anyone will ever be charged.
Oh for heaven's sake. The NRCC is run by a non-academic oil engineer raised in Edmonton. They could have chosen almost anyone -- a university president, e.g., or even, god forbid, someone -- anyone -- with a PhD.

But they didn't. It's a conspiracy, but not the secret kind.
There is a question of governance that trancends party politics and reducing it to partisanship does the discussion a serious disservice. I'd go so far as to say that the forces who benefit from the status quo (lobbying groups of varyi g forms, and corps who've politically engineered circumstances they take advantage of) prefer discussions of governance framed as partisan he said she said arguments.

What is in question here is competence in government and how tax exempt orgs are regulated.

> If you have one specialized need (i.e. one specific path for packets to travel), then it is just as valid an approach to trash every other path.

You only have one specialized need at the very beginning. Then you start seeing the need for "just another little feature". And soon you will start replicating big parts of the network stack. Call it Greenspun's tenth rule for the network, if you want.

Also, most of the time, what you "just need" happens to be also the common need of many other users out there. Joining forces to fix a single code path is a much better investment than redoing things in userland for the sake of it.
I'm in a similar boat to these guys as far as biz dev goes and don't personally have a great sales track record having come from a purely technical background.

most of those chemistry and biology things are going down in cost. Used to be that doing PK/XG on mouse models would cost you about 200,000 per compound and now it's down to about 20k, for example, just in the last five years.

Sequencing, OMG. Primers.... Even more so.

Big equipment tends to be expensive, but that's because manufacturers can elicit however much they want off of it. If I'm writing a gov't grant, there's a line for "equipment", and if I can justify that the equipment is absolutely necessary for my experiments, then I can basically charge whatever I want (within the overall budget, of course). Plus it looks good because equipment costs typically do not generate 'overhead', which makes funding the grant look more attractive, etc. etc.
Pay the women half that to go on the date, and you might have something.

Just out of curiosity why do you have 26 columns? I presume you're also storing data like first_name, last_name, address, country, etc? I am too, but I cleverly have a user_meta table that allows dynamic user meta values. Your approach is probably faster because you're not joining any other tables.

Online dating is a huge time sink though. You not only need to setup a profile, you have to actively find and message girls. The finding part is interesting because all dating sites lie to their users--80 years and 400 studies reliably show algorithms cannot predict romantic compatibility. I spent a good 6 months doing this, and the time I put into it wasn't justified. Maybe the joke was on me. I'm now happily dating a girl from an app I created because I was so frustrated with everything else out there.

I don't think the girl is going to frame it the way you are thinking about it. She won't be thinking "he paid $50 so he could hang out with me," she's going to be thinking "I am looking for some sign of income/stability (check) and his time must be valuable because he isn't spending it courting girls online."

I'm sure it's inevitable and certain types of girls may think about it the way you've described, but when you have identity tied to everything, you can eliminate those matches from the system. You never give or receive feedback on traditional dates, it's just a black box. It goes back to how well the matchmaker does and what the person is looking for. That's how the matchmaker is reviewed by the user.
This is really useful to me, I'm always wondering about specific subreddits that may interest me. Now I can actually find them. I think there may be other ways to present this information to help people discover subreddits of interest.
In addition to adding the JS include for your script, we need to call a series of EasyCSV.user functions to identify the user currently viewing that page and set the data we want to store about that user for that page. But all that data we'd need to pump out into the JS calls is already coming from somewhere... a DB I would assume. For me, that seems like a bit too much overhead for such a simple task. Since all the user data is in the DB already anyway, when we want a CSV of our users, we do DB export. Unless I am missing something, I don't see this being very useful myself. But if it helps you, then it might help someone else.

Rapidly obsolescent behavior.

Maybe one drink. If you're the one asking her out. Maybe. But in modern sexual relationships, both people are choosing to go out because they both hope to have a good time. Bribery shouldn't be part of that.

The population of women who are neither high upkeep nor feeling entitled by outdated social norms is rapidly increasing, and you might as well go for those, since they're likely better catches in plenty of other ways.

Obviously not all women who are high upkeep or entitled are bad choices, per se. Plenty of good ones are there, in fact! But if you're hunting for fish in the sea, every second spent on a group of fish that's below average in quality is a second not spent on a group of fish that's above average in quality.

Edited to add: actually, you're right, there's some hypocrisy in being willing to pay even for a single drink. I retract that lack of follow-through.
