The browser is automatically putting "www." in front of "dk" allowing it to resolve. Although the root DNS zone (the implied dot at the end of DNS names) can have A records in it, the current policy only allows A records for (some) nameservers. As a result, the new gTLD program, for example, does not currently allow "bareword domains" because you can't put an A record for the domain by itself in the root zone. (The policy doesn't allow an MX record, either, so email to someone@shop wouldn't be possible without a policy change.) The policy is aimed at keeping the root zone simple, and minimizing the volume of changes.
Instead of asking that question, lets invert it: Why shouldn't US citizens living abroad be exempt on worldwide income just as corporations are?
Edit: 0) Change your nick. Really. To something you like.

1) Taking a break, as lots of people have said, my help a lot. You get a much better view of yourself, your loved ones, your environment and what you have done than while engaged in 'making a living'. Even just a week off may help a lot.

2) Do not try to be 'the best' at anything. Really. Try just to enjoy what you do, and to do what you enjoy and are good at. Right now nothing feels like it because you are tired. Hence 1)

3) You need to start valueing what you do. Each time you make something which is good for you or for anyone, you need to 'celebrate' it inside and outside. You have done a lot of things but you have probably never enjoyed them and generated what you call 'feedback'. Really: the mere fact of getting up and taking a shower is enought to celebrate. Imagine finishing a project or starting a new one.

4) Let you loved ones make the valuations: this may be even better.

5) It is irrelevant that your ideas are not new. Your job and your contributions are.

But people have already said all this.
Short URLs are still useful for sharing links in email (to avoid email encoding or line wrap problems) or verbally to other humans.
I don't think the exact timing matters much when evaluating this sort of thing.

Peter Schiff's focus is long term trends. He's constantly saying it's impossible to forecast exactly when the bottom will drop out. Just that it will if we continue down QE infinity.

That seems sensible. How can endless money printing end in anything but inflation?
The "to" TLD used to resolve to an URL shortener, producing http://to/xxx urls.

Now it still resolves, however the server doesn't accepts http connections anymore.
Anybody who compares Nixon to any subsequent US president, even Reagan, is betraying a lack of understanding of how serious Watergate was. There was, at the time, the possibility of a military coup --- and that coup would have been in defense of the Constitution.
I guess HTML5 is on the path of replacing javascript, although its still no way near to javascript but not sure what magic it can do.

If javascript would be next big thing then surely can't reach there without HTML5.

Well, with your openess, you're out of the gate already, so "pre-" prefix isn't in the same sense as for stealth startup.

I don't normally want any assistance, except when I do, and then I do. The generic phrases "Can I help you?" or "Can I help you find something?" are perfectly fine, contrary to the article. These are standard prompts to which I give standard replies.

Much, much worse is "Are you after pants or tops today?" which is the worst kind of sleazeball sales opener. Now I'm on guard, preparing to either fend off a hard sell or make a break for the exit.
to ensure it is deliverable? Well, then you better send them an email.

I deal with user support for a site and I'd estimate at least 2% of our new users (>50 people PER DAY) enter wrong email addresses. Not "I forgot to put .com at the end" but "I thought my email was john.doe@gmail.com when it's actually john.doe@yahoo.com" which would pass validation with flying colours. The only real "solution" is to tell a user if the validation email has been sent yet (to deal with "well maybe I should wait 5 more minutes") and if it has and they don't have it allow them to change their email to their real email address. So many sites (incl. the one I manage) do not allow this, it's crazy.
It's not a matter of wanting to please someone. It's a matter of not having to deal with someone who's attempting to push the envelope of polite social interaction with a sales pitch. Even a low pressure sales pitch gets on my nerves. Not because it's going to work (quite the opposite).
This is a really interesting approach but the downside is "the need for a 150 m^2 antenna area or compact light-weighted Xray telescopes and detectors, which are currently developed for the next generation of X-ray observatories." This really limits it to very large spacecraft, not the type of spacecraft in use today.

The Fallacy of Money As A Means
Nolan Bushnell to save Atari, new systems planned
After Atari filed for bankruptcy and was bought out a few times. Nolan Bushnell bought out Atari and is back to Atari for a second time now to do a Steve Jobs with it.<p>Atari is back and better than ever now.<p>The Atari ST/TT series has been converted to AMD chips and is now known as the Atari XTC with a 64 bit quad core processor. It runs TOS and GEM under a version of Linux to run all of the old ST/TT/Falcon stuff. Atari Linux is based on Ubuntu but with a different Windows Manager. It also has emulators for all of the Atari 2600/5200/7800 games, the Lynx and Jaguar as well as the 8-bit Atari computers. For $350 you can buy a 2.5Ghz AMD Phenom II Quad Core Atari XTC with 4G of RAM, an ATI Radeon 7750 display adaptor and 80 gig hard drive. Using the USB 3.0 ports you can attach the old 3.5" floppy drive to read old ST and MS-DOS disks, or a DVD drive on a USB port, etc.<p>Atari is now making the Atari Portfolio smartphone it is based on the old Portfolio PDA Atari had before Apple stole the idea for the Newton. It has been updated to the ARM processor and runs Atari Linux on it now.<p>The Atari TV project will bring Atari Linux to TV sets to play videogames or watch TV on them. It has a built in STB and Cable inputs and licensed code from TiVO to be used for AT&T U-Verse, Cable providers, and satellite providers. Using code from Roku it can have custom channels added to it and function as a Roku box. It will retail for $199 and use a Quad core AMD processor, 8G of RAM, 40 Gig hard drive, and ATI Radeon 7750 display GPU, and BluRay disk. It can run all of the software the Atari XTC can run as well. Plus in a deal with Valve the Atari TV will be a Steambox compatible system. Atari will release all of their video games on Steam as well as the Atari Appliance Store App for Linux, Windows, and MacOS X.<p>The devices are due out between 2014 and 2015 provided they can finish them on time and on budget.

OK. If you showed me an advertising poster you really liked, I could fire up Illustrator and give you a decent replica in a couple of hours. Does that mean you should hire me as your new ad agency?

No, but if you just wrote Illustrator and there's nothing else like it on the market, I might want to buy a copy.

The code creates a new buffer for each frame and then pushes that into the gif. There is no freeing of memory or any kind of ring buffer being setup. So yes, it keeps eating memory.
So if 0 wasn't a concept, you couldn't count to 10?

I'm not sure I understand. I thought the significance of 0 was the recognition of an absence of existence. Just because numbers use 0 (270, 50, 20, etc.) wouldn't seem to indicate that it was understood at that significance...

Standards are a mechanism that allow new and innovative market entrants to compete with established giants.

Now that google are an established giant, there probably isn't much financial incentive for them.

You're right that it's the right thing to do though - it leads to more competition, better services for consumers and faster innovation, enriching humanity.

In the past, google knew that having a healthy web platform was more important to their long term profits than huge numbers of tightly tied in users. That no longer seems to be the way they see things.
It's an interesting intellectual exercise to build THE email validation regex, but it's shortsighted to inflict your experiment on the public.

While I definitely enjoyed how Friedl's book (http://regex.info/book.html) builds over several chapters to an ever more complex solution, maybe a page long, my takeaway was: don't bother. A friendly UI will help users avoid an obvious mistake, but as other posters have pointed out, the only real validation is, does an email get there?
Every time software progress threatens the status quo, partians of the standard argue that the new functionality proposed doesn't justify degrading standardization. Who are those partisans to say?
I've found that those who see fanboys everywhere do it because they are total fanboys of something or other themselves, so that's the lens through which they project everything. So really all you are saying with comments like this is that you yourself base your own beliefs on fanboyism, whether you realize it or not.
I think it's mostly just bikeshedding. This is a problem that is both largely unimportant but also common enough that many have encountered it (and thus have an opinion).
How about this: Add a mailto link that sets the subject to some type of token, they click the link, hit send, app catches the email, sets the correct address accordingly.

Maybe they're on to you and only pretend that they think it's invalid so you'll give them a slightly-less-throwaway address ;)
I'm not following you. Are you referring to the minimized code that has been beautified? Of course it is not going to be particularly legible. Same for any minified code, asm.js or not.

From the link you gave, the DiagModule function is asm.js, and every bit as readable as C.
I see it this way: The higher frequency of exposure, the larger the sampling pool, the more noise AND the more opportunity to spot a recurring signal in that noise. If you keep your sampling pool low, how will you separate noise from signal?

I don't know a lot about DNS, so correct me if I'm wrong, but this looks like a case where the TLD does have an A record:

dk. 86400	IN	A	193.163.102.24

In fact, www.dk resolves to a different IP:

www.dk. 86400	IN	A	212.242.42.44
I agree completely. I think that requiring an exam in these subjects to obtain a software engineering license would be absurd - my point is that I don't think its any more absurd than licensing software "engineers" under the PE license.

I'm not really in favor of a professional license for software "engineering" - but if there were, I'd say it should stand completely apart from the PE.

The PE exam writers should feel free to include whatever software questions they like as they license, say, civil engineers, but they should stay in the business of civil engineering.
And that uses a giant regex.
I'm probably older than you (almost 30) and I don't think you're aware of the long-term career risks in this industry.

I'm also almost 30, and am one of the younger people here. Maybe half of the people who were here (on the same team as me) when I started in 2007 are still here, but not all on the same team any more. A couple have been here thru several acquisitions, and long enough to have stories about losing the office we had in the World Trade Center. My direct supervisor has been with the company in various roles (not all IT) longer than I've been alive.

It's the career problems that make this game an unholy mess: the fact that most so-called "tech" jobs are career-killing, subordinate wastes of talent that slowly turn you into an unemployable idiot.

So don't accept that. My job was supposed to be translating "this field goes here" into Informatica (etl tool) mappings; ie code-monkey on a shitty non-textual turing-incomplete proprietary "language". Instead, after learning Informatica and SQL and PL/SQL all while on the job, I started writing things to automate the more repetitive parts. Now most of my time is spent maintaining and improving a set of tools for the rest of the team, which I (re-)wrote in C#, PL/SQL, Java, and the occasional bit of C, Perl, or Unix shell script.

It's the risk that you'll be 37 and taking orders from a 25-year-old "tech lead" who only knows half a programming language and won't listen to your ideas.

That seems a bit exaggerated, but I suppose it could happen if management was all technically clueless and you never bothered to learn anything resembling people-skills.

Worst of all, at that age you probably have a spouse and kids, so suicide isn't an ethically defensible option.

Um... go talk to a psychiatrist? Please?

As an aside: If Apple do transition to a flatter UI (yes, I know it's all rumor and speculation, but humor me), I'd expect to see a reasonable jump in UI responsiveness of older iOS devices.

Not having to load many Retina-sized background images for UI elements would significantly decrease memory pressure on the OS as well as increase responsiveness.

NB. Assuming older devices will be able to upgrade and that texture-heavy UI elements would be phased out.

Sometimes you get a blogpost that sounds smart and insightful but unfortunately it is not since the author's objective is to sound smart, get kudos etc..... I have spent six years working in retail from low end to high end. I also survived 3 months as a waiter and I will give you practical advice for this situation and not try and extrapolate this advice to alll sales situations.

1) Yes, people hate the do u need any help question but not because of the question in itself. It is because they usually have just entered the store and they get just asked this and since they have not had a chance to look at anything they obviously don't need any help. The reason why this mistake gets repeated over and over is because from a distance there is a manager who will usually get pissed off if they don't. You might say that the manager should be smart enough to know this is dumb but I have no idea why they still do maybe power trip.

2)How to ask the do you need any help question. You have to just watch your consumers from a distance, greet them and walk away, make them feel free but slightly monitor their gestures. As time goes on you develop a skill to see which customer needs help, for example they standing with one shoe in their hand looking around whith their head tilted up, ask them if they need help, they will be very happy. If your manager is standing around unfortunately you have to be annoying and ask consumers as soon as they enter the store.

During my 3 month waiter stint in college, a famous singer came by to eat, she just happened to sit at my table, boy did I regret it. The owner of the restaurant practically had his chin at my shoulder. This guy was freaking out, he had me asking them if everything was fine every 3 minutes, until the singers manager asked me too give them some space. I went back and told the owner, his reply to me was that I was fucking up big time. Lol!
Some stores do a better job of this than others. REI in particular has usually been amazing. I went in last weekend for a shirt, and saw that packs are on sale. The salesman there fitted me for a pack, recommended a cheaper one than I was getting that turned out to be a better pack, then asked if there was anything else I would like to know about, without pushing a hardsale. By the end of the trip, I had a new pack, a new down sleeping bag, some compression sacks, and a few other things. That guy, based on his knowledge, and just being generally friendly without feeling sleezy turned a 20 dollar sale into about $600 in sales.
I would like to make a plea to anybody coding email verifications to please include the ip address of the request, this way we get a sort of warning somebody is trying to impersonate us.
"New numbers" are invented to complete a group for a particular arithmetic operation.
Zero is not necessary the addition operation because all cardinals one and above suffice.
Zero is created for the subtraction operation of a cardinal with itself.

There were empty place holders signs in place-number systems of Babylonia and ancent China that function like our zero numeral. But this placeholder did not enter arithmetic operations. So it is not considered the "modern" zero.

Ditto creating negative numbers for cmpleting the subtraction operation group.
Ratios for cardinal division.
Real numbers for some ratios that are not cardinals.
Infinity for zero divisors.
Irrationals for roots of cardinals.
Imaginaries for roots of negatives.
Infinitesmals in differentiation and integration.
And so on ...

At some point in medevial times each of these new numbers were considered the work of the Devil because they did not have concrete existance in the physical world. Later on accountants showed how zero & negative numbers were usefule for business. And physicists showed how these new numbers could predict the physical world.
The reason I advocate that approach (other than it is what I do, to varying degrees of success, to support myself) is that it seems to be more straightforward a value prop than trying to sell an idea.

Read "Masters of Doom", read "Soul of a New Machine", read "The New New Thing", read iWoz: we see that products fail all the time, that pioneers take a bath, that the second mouse gets the cheese--but that engineers are always in demand.

A business can fail, but raw material is always being looked for.
But then you've dramatically shifted from having advertising design done for you to buying a highly technical tool that allows you to create illustrations. If you are someone with no design or illustration experience, that isn't going to work out so great for you.
Nice move! Just about the only nitpick I have is that there's no such thing as a cult of stealth startups anymore. That was a 2005 kinda thing. I think most people got the memo by now.
Checkout vtiger CRM, its pretty much open source version of sugar CRM.
Advantages: Complete CRM is opensource, no hidden paid features, there are wide list of free extensions. Few are paid . community support is also good.

Disadvantages: Not much of good UX. You might need to customize to get better user experience.
That would be this search warrant: http://www.foxnews.com/politics/interactive/2013/05/20/court..., page 26, number 46:

"Based on the above, there is probable cause to believe that the Reporter (along with Mr. Kim [the prosecuted government employee]) has committed a violation of 18 U.S.C. § 789(d) either as Mr. Kim's co-conspirator and/or aider and abettor..." which continues with the email account to be searched, more justification, etc.

Unprecedented in recent history going back to at least the Pentagon Papers?
Too often, when I'm looking for an employee to ask a question they're nowhere to be found - but when I just want to look around, they intrude.

What's needed is not a new way to trick the customer into conversing, instead we need employees to learn how to notice whether a customer is looking for help or doing fine on his/her own. And employers to allow this instead of requiring them to be aggressive.

Algol perhaps had the disadvantage of being far more popular among academics than among actual programmers. Perhaps for that reason Algol became the lingua franca of pseudocode, while C became the lingua franca of actual code.

(I don't know if this is fair, but I've always had the impression that Algol was a bit like Ada in its time: respected by those who used it, but a bit too kitchen-sink to be popular among implementors.)
The story thats not being told is how those "hundreds of hours" spent building "snow fall" included direction, videography, 3d and 2d modelling and animation, photography, content-writing, design, coordination, and frontend development.

Scrollkit took just one aspect of that (frontend development) and stated "The NYT spent hundreds of hours hand-coding ‘Snow Fall.’ We made a replica in an hour."

Its outright dishonest, and devalues the great effort that others spent on it. I can understand why they are pissed.

Tumblr changing API License Agreement
I just received the following email:

Hello fearless Tumblr app developers!

Today we're pushing a few changes to our Application Developer and API License Agreement that we wanted to make you aware of. These changes likely won't impact the majority of you.

- We made a few cosmetic edits to soften and clarify language in the agreement.

- We modified the terms to apply to those developers building applications using our data firehose. This is mainly a mechanical change to the document.

- We added restrictions against modifying the order of content that we send you, and clarified that anything we insert (like sponsored content!) shouldn't be removed.

- We clarified our previous restriction on public re-display.

- Location should reflect real, mappable geography.

- We clarified our policy on collection of private information, emphasizing the need for user notice and consent when appropriate.

As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please send an email to api@tumblr.com and check out our developer forum.

The full agreement can be found here: www.tumblr.com/docs/en/api_agreement
