These fires are barricading against cops. Police is trying to kill. Using unbelievable force and still you say having some garbage fires are looting?

By the way I say I have seen civil cops looting and protesters preventing them. But sure main stream media is the best news source.

Edit:

I believe these are also protesters trying to kill wounded cops? https://twitter.com/Kadirkaymakci/status/340791432891748352/...
I'd assume the JPEG can have some embedded colour profile. This profile specifies a transform between the JPEG's 24bit colour space into the monitor's 30bit colour space.

For example, consider two JPEGs with embedded colour profiles. "Red" (255,0,0) in one image will map to some "Reddish" 30 bit value, while (255,0,0) in the other will map to a slightly different 30 bit value.

I created Devoired (http://devoired.com), an academic-assistance freelance contracting site targeted toward college and high-school students. Backend is written in Django, front-end is a clean, slightly modified version of Bootstrap 2. Features include a user account system, fully editable subject tree, private messaging with support for attachments, and a PayPal-integrated chained payment system with configurable commission percentage and refund support.

Devoired currently has very little activity due to lack of marketing. Let me know if you're interested!
Media Monopoly in America
Okay, this is the end for me on Hacker News. The comments here clearly shows that this place is just a bunch of 14 year olds who don't know the history of the web, don't understand how CSS and HTML came to be, and now reinventing things thats already been solved.

The whole industry is fucking killed by people who replaced books by stack overflow, and every sane programmer is doing management because they can't compete in salary with people who make logos i CSS...I mean the logos looks the same don't they?

Well, from the docs:

--

Therefore, instead of dealing with key-values, objects ids and primary keys, you can access your data using file paths just as you would with a regular file system. Bytengine’s file system is modelled on the linux file system where you have a root directory ‘/’ and file paths separated by a forward slash ‘/’. Bytengine stores your content in Files that can further be organised in Directories.

So there you have it! Wait...
You dont do SICP to "learn Lisp", you do SICP to learn fundamental programming principles. SICP just happens to use Scheme because one of the authors of SICP was also one of the authors of Scheme. The difference between Scheme and Lisp is big enough to justify them having different names and Scheme not being "just another dialect of Lisp".

The problem with Scheme is not the language, the problem is that the ecosystem is so hopelessly balkanized, that it is useless for practical purposes and nobody uses it for anything interesting except for teaching of SICP. You have tiny standards covering only base language constructs, and everything else is left to implementations of which 1001 different one exists and each implements the same stuff in a different, incompatible way, so there is no code portability. So an large number of Scheme users, instead of developing interesting and useful _new_ libraries, instead rewrite 1001 different implementations and 1001 different manuals covering the same area. If you write something and tell me you wrote it in Scheme, the first thing I'd have to ask is "Which one?" because your code will not run on the 1000 remaining ones. The scheme ecosystem is the prime example of code non-reuse, of the NIH syndrome and waste of man-decades of effort, so while the language itself is nice for teaching, the existing worst-practices are examples of what _not_ to do.

What is the valuation for a non-subscription, one-time fee, web application (like Bingo Card Creator) as a multiple of monthly revenue?
That is absurd. Charities know about interest rates. If that is the best way to use money (and you choose an effective charity) that is what they will do. But the fact is they can get better returns now by either spending your money on fundraising/awareness or by having real impact now.

Spending money on achieving their goals in the present is not only what they are for but will also reduce future costs. Prevention is better than cure.

Also there are problems that need solving now. If the current generation of philanthropists all wait until they die then there will not be enough money to solve problems that exist in the present.

Why would you think that you know how to use money to achieve a goal better than an organization built around that goal?
With the upcoming release of Pg 9.3, I've been reading a lot more posts and articles about the FDW (foreign data wrapper) capabilities. I had not considered all the things FDW can do, but I'm getting more and more excited the further I get into it.

For instance, at $work we have a bunch of tables which are archives of raw click data. They are taking up quite a bit of space on disk, which we'd like to reclaim. Keeping the raw data around is good, since I want to create a summary table and you can't recreate raw data from summaries. The idea was to export the table data as CSV, and then when I had the time to for messing around with summaries I'd reload the data. With FDW I can leave the data as CSV and read it just like it was in a proper DB table. Win!

Or even better, again at $work we use Mysql. But I hate it because SQL strict mode isn't enabled and mysql does really stupid things with my data in "normal" mode. I can't safely turn on strict at this point because I don't have the time for testing everything. I also really like Pg and would love to switch. But again, I don't have the time to do it. What I've been thinking about is using the FDW capabilities (in particular the upcoming writable FDW in 9.3) as a way to safely and slowly migrate DB platforms. It's only an idea in my head right now, but it's an intriguing one.
Thanks Yuri. I can see how you may have found the post inapplicable to you since you seem to have it all figured out.

What exactly is the achievement here?

I'm not certain that yet another mostly-incomplete virtual machine will really help the Perl 6 community much. They've already got that with Parrot.

The whole emphasis on targeting virtual machines, whether it's Parrot, or the JVM, or now this MoarVM, has harmed the ability of Perl 6 to be implemented. We've seen one partial implementation after another, for years on end.

Unfortunately, we can't actually use any of these implementations for anything serious, like we can with Perl 5, Python, and Ruby. This makes Perl 6 unusable, which is quite a shame.
Appart from being able to access your content as you would a regular file system, you can also query and modify your content metadata.

So you could upload pictures, tag them in JSON and later run live queries based on the tags from your client app (to sort them based on location for example).

I'll be adding more/better docs in the coming days.

cheers
Amazon does this on pre-orders occasionally – the real price is unknown, so instead of providing a low estimate, they deliberately have a high estimate. In reality you'll only pay whatever the real price is – they don't take you money at this point anyway.

I guess they'd rather say to early customers "Hey, it's half what you might have expected!", rather than "Ah, turns out it's double what you thought".

Is the time of the termination of a chase based on a record made by the pursuing officer? Is it also the case that it looks bad for the pursuing officer if a pursuit ends in an accident?
Well, it only takes 4 or so up votes before a story hits the front page. Then it is propelled near the top by the herd automatically. These polls are useless, and now the discussions around them (including our nice little thread here) are noise. They contribute nothing to the quality of the site.

A year after I graduated I got my first role in London at £27000 for a dev role (one above junior). This was an enterprise java role and in the first year I worked in a team of 3 building a custom CMS (it was a telecoms publishing house) and then a BI platform. My pay moved up fairly quickly over the years but I don't think I know even a CTO here who earns more than £90000. The SF salaries do sound crazy high.
Django-qrauth: QR codes for instantly signing in to a website
django-qrauth allows you to easily spice up your website with instant user authentication: once a user has signed in on their Mac or PC, they can pick up their smartphone (or tablet, iPod, etc: actually, anything that has Internet access, a camera and a QR code scanning application should work), scan a QR code (which appears on the display after the user clicks the corresponding link) and immediately sign in on their smartphone or other mobile device they use (so they don’t have to enter the site address, nor their login/email, nor password).

The New Yorker had a great article about this some years ago. Unfortunately its behind a paywall, but one thing that I remember is that guys would deliberately provoke a police chase and then call their buddies who were watching the helicopter footage live on cable news.

I own a profitable (monthly recurring) and 5-stars chrome extension with proprietary backend support for bypassing the governmental filters/blocks. It is good enough that I spend close to 0 time managing it (the only management == replying emails), and it is growing and profitable on its own. And it is only 3 months old. Everything is automated.

Right now it is configured to work only with the local government, and nothing more. There can be more done, for example, extending it to __other__ countries with a governmental firewall, but I have no time for it (since I'm running my own startup), etc. Send me an email if you are interested to know more. Email is in my profile.

Anandtech Chrome Pixel Review
For whatever reason German policing seems to be better in general. Pretty much no high speed chases, no "hail of bullets showdowns" and so forth. Iirc the number of bullets fired by the entire German (Germany=population of 80 million) police in a year was roughly the same as two incidents in LA (and most of those were either warning shots or animal kills).

I think it's a cultural issue and criminals in the US are generally more extreme.

I think the official policy in car chases is follow them enough so they'll give up but public safety is always #1. If in doubt abort.

To my understanding, the GSM firmware can be remotely updated through the GSM protocol. If such firmware update has access to the memory, it can then do any type of exploits including accessing the microphone.

The best founders are lucky.

Right place. Right time. Right society.

A clusterfuck of luck if you will.

That's the only reasonable conclusion one can draw from such small data sets that include within them insane variance, complex systems, extreme path dependence, and extremely disparate successful strategies (sometimes VC shoot to the moon works, sometimes bootstrapping, sometimes established spin outs, sometimes tech, sometimes marketing, sometimes government contracting).

There is no best founders are X. Just unique situations accidently exploited by founders who happily find themselves embedded directly within them. Founders are by far the least important factor in the causal chain that ends up with their eventual success, or failure.

Well in defense of this snarky comment, I have to say that the social sharing part of personal data like this can come across in this way (doesn't make it narcissism but still...).

The thing I like about personal data collection and cool new apis is what it could do for the individual, i.e. offer new insight, movitivation, encourage better behaviours.

But I hate the sharing part because it opens the door to over-sharing. Not just in terms of corporations having all kinds of data and using it in their interests, but also just simply the noise that gets added by people sharing information that frankly, has very little relevance.

I don't really care if someone just completed a 2 mile run and I certainly don't go to twitter to read automatically generated tweets about it.

Steve Jobs Screwed with apple
Couple of thoughts about Apple:
I love Apple but i think it's going down without steve, steve was apple's magic he always hade an idea then he started to convert it to real thing so he made Apple, but i think he didn't try to make apple dream without him thats why i think apple will be not the same.

OK, but then that's a different issue. It isn't racism in the criminal justice system, and it isn't the criminal justice system's failure. It's the failure of the rest of society.

And even if it is racism originally, it's plausible that it's "because of the racism of dead white men." Two centuries ago they kidnapped millions of Africans and brought them here as slaves. Then they were freed without anyone offering to return them to their original communities in Africa or providing them any resources here to raise successful children. The legacy of that is not going away any time soon even if racism today were totally eradicated, because even in a society with greater upward mobility than we have now, poor parents will always be more likely to have poor children than rich parents.
Extinguishing JavaScript would actually be a very beneficial thing to do.

It's quite refreshing to see Google trying to offer a viable alternative that's far more general in nature, and far more technologically-sound than its competitors.

This contrasts heavily with what Mozilla is trying to do with asm.js. Their approach, unfortunately, is nothing more than an atrocious hack. Instead of doing things properly, they just maul JavaScript into a form that isn't as horrible to work with, from an optimization standpoint. However, this is clearly inferior to using a proper instruction set, bytecode, or intermediate representation.

The worst part, though, is that asm.js further entrenches JavaScript. This is going in the opposite direction of where we ought to be going. We need browsers that offer a far more general runtime. JavaScript would merely be one among many other languages targeting such a runtime, rather than being an integral part of it like we see with asm.js.
