I would look at what you need the address for and actually make the request based solely on that. Generally speaking, you ask for an address in order to send mail of some kind. Inside the US, you basically never need the city/state: they're for error-checking (wait, XXXXX isn't actually in California; it's in Iowa). I had a friend give me an address that the postman told me didn't make sense (no city field), but it still got to him fine: I'd lay good odds that the post office people local to my friend simply had a modified convention.

Good point, though I imagine that this issue could be fixed in SSH as long as the password is not being echoed (which it should not be).

I recall reading an article in which a psychologist written about a study that aimed to prove which method was more affective.

The conclusion of the study was that people are more likely to stick to a goal they keep to themselves. This is because often telling people a goal they will reward you with praise as if you already achieved it making it prematurely gratifying which causes you to lose motivation.

Also from my own experience public commitment is a bad motivational tool. This is because the motivator of public commitment is usually fear (failure etc) and fear is a terrible mindset to draw motivation from which (in my experience) can cause a lot of procrastination.
How do you move forward with something when you know you might be taken to court, put under surveillance, heavily fined, or otherwise harassed?

I think the question is also, "Why do you move forward with something when you know you might be taken to court, put under surveillance, heavily fined, or otherwise harassed?"

I'm not trying to be pedantic; it's a legitimate question. Why do this if you know going into that it will cause potentially great harm to both you and your partner who "supports a large family"? It's akin to jumping off a cliff that you haven't looked over to see what's at the bottom. So there would need to be a very compelling reason to move forward, I would think.

So what's your reason for pushing through these problems? When times get tough, what will motivate you to keep pushing through rather than quitting after 2-3 years?
I might chime in as an internal medicine resident that fecal transplantation is relatively new, and most doctors still only think of it being used for recurrent c diff (clostridium difficile) infections (which is a very bad diarrheal infection that is associated with antibiotic use and just being in the hospital).

It sounds like you are doing a good job bringing this up and questioning why your doctors are choosing certain therapies for your wife. There's more and more data coming out on using fecal transplants in Ulceratic Colitis (UC) patients and for the most part it seems well tolerated (there is one case report I just saw of someone getting a fecal transplant for c diff and then having a flare of their UC after it was in remission for 30 years).

Keep pushing and when they say no ask them why they don't think this is appropriate to try rather than the risks of surgery. It sounds like you've already done research online about this and are well informed. If her doctors aren't open to trying this (or can't because their hospital doesn't have experience doing this) I'm sure they would be able to refer you guys to someplace that would try it. Of course, there's the whole insurance issues of covering this (new and still experimental) which I won't get into but maybe there is a research study you can join.
So the human wants to run deliberately fast so they can effectively slide up a hill with massively reduced control, and the robot kiboshes it on the grounds it's dangerous? Sounds pretty good to me.
I suspect a lot of us are very uncomfortable with that claim. I think the moonshot and the kernel are both independently amazing feats that don't need to be compared against one another for validation.
From the last FAQ at the bottom of the page:

Can I print without using the Pirate Cloud? I would like to make prints offline...

Yes you may. We have a backup WiFi printing mode similar to Octoprint which can be used in the event that zombies attack and all servers are destroyed.

That sounds to me like it can indeed be used offline.
> If we're talking about the rest of the store where they sell books and movies and music you better believe that there is outside influence dictating how they can sell products.

Yes, obviously I'm talking about this. And the issue is not about how they sell these products, but what they want customers to do with other media. I don't think any studio would deny them permission to sell their stuff just because it's possible to screenshot DVD movies purchased in the meat world.

And face it, by running this store Apple has as much interest as Hollywood in indoctrinating people that "The Content shall never be copied".
It says "At an early-stage startup", not that this is a sustainable practice.

Also the premise is "everybody smart they knew". Changing method signature for no reason is not that smart. :)
This is for backwards compatibility. If you checked it again after you login, you'd find that it is not an MD5 password anymore.

WordPress uses salted and hashed passwords with the phpass library, and has since version 2.5, released in 2008. Prior to that, it used MD5 passwords.

As part of the conversion process, it detects an MD5 password in the database on login, and then hashes the password to the newer salted mechanism, overwriting the MD5 version in the database.

If you're seeing miserable performance in everything other than Chrome, something is probably wrong with your Javascript, or you're doing something that is only optimized in Chrome.

Given that you said web workers, are you transferring a lot of data between the worker and the document? Web worker transfers are pretty expensive, so it's possible you're seeing the effect of Chrome having a faster implementation.

Does your JS generate a lot of garbage, and cause GC pressure? Chrome's collector handles garbage better than Firefox because it's generational, but getting rid of GC pressure can improve performance everywhere.

I feel your pain about the difficulty of profiling web workers, though. Profiling browsers in general is a pain but it seems like none of the dev tools people on any browser actually bother to make tools work with web workers.

In FF I strongly recommend using the SPS Profiler because it will give you incredibly detailed performance data; however I don't know if it works with web workers either: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Performance/Profili...

My list of JS perf gotchas might contain one or two helpful details for you as well: https://github.com/kevingadd/JSIL/wiki/JavaScript-Performanc...

Yes, you've given up control. But you've traded it for trust. While Google's cars may have a flawless record, trust is an emotional thing. It's a long slow road for self-driving cars to earn our trust, even if they should already deserve it.
No one is saying generics can't be implemented in go, or that go is "special".

Implementing generics requires tradeoffs of some sort -- compile-time and size, runtime efficiency, or language-complexity. The creators didn't want to accept any of these compromises, at least for the initial release of go.

Another, less obvious benefit of having another option: it makes them get their ass in gear. So many companies feel like they have an urgent need to hire, but start taking forever to get back to you throughout the process, whether it's scheduling interviews or drafting an offer letter.

When you get the chance to say "I do have one other offer that is expecting a response by $date, but I am really interested in this position, so I wanted to see if it was a good fit before committing to the other. Do you think that is enough time for us to meet?"

Suddenly, mountains start moving.

>But they're still affected by people who do use the Internet.

Frankly, I don't understand this position at all. A poor person in India who has never used the Internet and has probably never heard of the Internet is not in any way affected by people who use the Internet. And anyway, that's a shift of the goal post. The point is that such a person is not touched by the Linux kernel.

No offense, I think people trying to say the Linux kernel is as important as the moon landing are suffering from delusions of grandeur.

Multiple people died in the pursuit of landing a man on the moon (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_1). Saying people creating a competing offering to something that had been created dozens of times before is as monumental of an achievement as landing on the moon is frankly preposterous.
I'm not being serious in my complaint, I'm trying to highlight the absurdity of "breaking workflow" being linked to "removing functionality".
Why these standards aren't open source, or at least developed in the open is beyond me. It would be so cool to see a diff comparison between versions.
Or how about the IWSU license?

Because then the standards would no longer be open.
you can also dip stuff in acetone to smooth it and perhaps enamel it to really seal it up. I imagine there's a bunch of stuff you could do to improve the odds.

"Presumably this is to legally shield themselves from those car manufacturers accusing the tire company of misusing their trademarks"

I wouldn't assume that. It could also be simply because they don't want to give publicity to another brand. For example it's hard to believe that if Coach decided to put an ad with an Apple Macbook in it they would have an issue with that. [1]

In any case here are the Apple guidelines:

http://www.apple.com/legal/intellectual-property/guidelinesf...

I see nothing on this page which prohibits someone from using an Apple product in a photograph and it's almost impossible to believe that Apple could claim trademark (or even if they could would expend energy to stamp this out) over someone taking a photo of their laptop. In other words a picture of someone sitting in a coffee shop using a Macbook, iphone whatever.

[1] That said Coach is a large company and they would almost certainly be ritually correct in their approach. Done on a smaller scale the amount of care does not have to be the same.
The photo quality would be rejected at some stock sites not just thanks to this severe chromatic aberration (try a better lens?) but also the excessive post processing causing contrast fringing, etc.

These cannot be used in commercial print for discerning customers.

I've found great results on Flickr with a Creative Commons search, and buying stock photos for commercial work is a tiny part of a print piece budget.
If I need a tutorial for your web app, then it was poorly designed. If I need a tutorial for your OS, the freaking give me one!

You can't say that an OS is naturally an intuitive thing to use. If it's fully-featured, it's going to either include so many things that you're going to need to know how to access in a specific way or it ends up being KDE, giving you a button and shortcut for everything until your eyes cross.

> In addition to the expansion of the Tesla Supercharger network itself, Tesla is improving the technology behind the Tesla Supercharger to dramatically decrease the amount of time it takes to charge Model S, cutting charging time in half relative to early trials of the system. The new technology, which is in beta test mode now and will be fully rolled out to customers this summer, will allow Model S to be charged at 120 kW, replenishing three hours of driving in just over 20 minutes.

i find this the most interesting part of the release. it sounds like existing model s' currently on the road will be able to take advantage of these upgraded superchargers.. i always assumed advances in charging tech would require upgrades to both the chargers and the cars themselves. anyone know how this is supposed to work?

..i know its wishful thinking, but this gives me hope that my lowly focus electric may someday see its charging capabilities upgraded as well.
Doubtless it'll come down to some silly mistakes, like having a `for(var attrname in obj)` (as was the construct that caused V8 to unoptimise their Oz game, link above). I've been coding for long enough - started with the ZX81 and 286 - to know we're all mortal.

The tools for finding this stuff suck. The tools for finding and fixing this stuff for just a handful of mainstream browsers - Firefox, Chrome and Safari - suck.

I want Chrome and Firefox to show code hotness inline in their script browser panes of their developer tools. I want profiling to work for web workers. I want all this without needing to compile my own copy of V8 (as Google advocate in the video above).

Just when profiling, electric-fencing and static analysis begin to become mainstream for C++ developers, we're thrown back to basics in browsers.

Just because wanting to see asset load and understand the fold are mainstream profiling problems for people making shopping websites, doesn't mean browsers aren't going to get used more and more for gaming-style workloads and will need the profiling and debugging tools that problem demands.

> Any company worth anything has an a, b, and c candidate (plus, often the option to wait) already in their pocket. While what you say is true, the assumption that your demands are "reasonable" is one you simply cannot make. Only the other party can define that. The cost of hiring is not assigned to you, it is a sunk cost that the company will absorb regardless of who they hire. It's pretty insignificant to keep an already posted position open.

That hasn't been my experience (on both sides of the hiring table). From what I've seen, only 1 offer goes out at a time. Otherwise, both might say yes, and you can't retract it. Only if the offer doesn't work out does option b get an offer (if he's still looking by the time all of this is done).

For every day that a job goes unfilled, it's costing them lost market opportunity and delaying their launch.

"For the past decade or so, the only critics of science fiction I pay any attention to (all three of them) have been slyly declaring that the Future is over... I think they're talking about the capital-F Future, which in my lifetime has been a cult, if not a religion. People my age are products of the culture of the capital-F Future. The younger you are, the less you are a product of that. If you're 15 or so, in 2010, I suspect you inhabit a sort of endless digital Now.

"The Future, capital-F, be it crystalline city on the hill or a radioactive post-nuclear wasteland, is gone. Ahead of us, there is merely more stuff... Upon arriving in the capital-F future, we discover it, invariably, to be the lower-case now."

More likely I'd expect such a tax to be imposed in the form of additional taxes/fees on EV purchase/registration. Most EV charging is done at home, and it'd be logistically impractical to try to measure and tax only the electricity used to charge cars. Then again, I think it'll be a while until we see anything like this, since right now the trend is toward subsidizing EVs more than taxing them.

Bear in mind also that the Supercharger network can be free because it's not intended for frequent use; the stations are typically placed at highway rest stops between cities, with the intent to allow occasional long road trips that would normally be outside the vehicle's battery range.

Just to address your first point, data is not actually too beneficial when it comes to general public policy making. Many people make decisions based on emotion rather than data.

For example, some people have a tremendous fear of flying. Yet flying commercially is one of the safest modes of travel: a person is far more likely to be injured on the way to the airport than to be injured in a commercial aviation accident in this country.

Likewise, the first time one of these cars misreads a signal or marking and plows into a farmer's market, the panic will be significantly greater than when an impaired driver causes the same damage; even if we have data to show that for each self-driving car injury there are 100 human-driven car injuries, it will be tough to override the "I don't have control of it, I don't understand it, I'm scared of it" emotional gut response of people.

I appreciate your comment because your starting point for a vision of the future is looking towards the past.

However, when I look back 50 or 100 years I think life was vastly different. Coincidentally, Ford "invented" the assembly line 100 years ago, but let's not limit ourselves to technology, consider that 100 years ago people in the US may have sat around and thought less than 50 years ago it was lawful to own another human, that human flesh was the number 1 commodity in Virginia, ect...

The reality is that these types of injustices, not necessarily slavery, but a legal system that codified the inequality of humans based on skin color and sex continued in the US from that time until about 50 years ago. I do not want to limit the discussion to the US either, because colonialism created second class citizenry across the globe and other examples exist such as apartheid in South Africa. Down that road it was 1930 when Ghandi broke the British Salt Tax, which made it illegal to produce salt - essential to this day, but even more important before refrigeration ("salt is worth it's weight in gold"). On many fronts, not just technology, the World has slowly moved forward, it is likely technology - especially instantaneous communication - shall demand the World continue moving in that direction.

Since roads where it snows are always getting torn up and repaved, if automated cars do become widespread, it seems entirely feasible and realistic to line major roads on each side with radio reflectors or some other cheap system that can keep automated plows from driving off the road.

The real problem is the cost of the automated plow itself. A 10-wheel plow with salt feeder isn't exactly cheap to run with or without a driver.

Forget whether the tech is something special; it's the value of the real estate. If tesla builds out the supercharger network before anyone else, then they'll be able to license the tech for close to whatever they want, because the cost to build a competitive competing product will be so great, similar to how there's not a lot of new tier 1 internet providers.
