The below has a good CPU (overclockable!), 16GB RAM and an el cheapo graphics card that will drive two large monitors. It is not going to work super well if you also plan on gaming, but it will get the job down if you're OK with less photorealistic shadders. Add tow monoprice 27" monitors[2] and you're all set

This statement fully captures the stark difference between Stripe and Balanced. Stripe is led by engineers who want to improve the payments infrastructure. Balanced is led by businesspeople who want to hit it big. Stripe just so happens to be a business as well. Nothing wrong with either, but that should point you toward which company has the developer's true interests at heart :)

Hint: It's Stripe.

Interesting subject. I just wish the author had done a deeper study. One user, one product bought = one article written. Wow, the standard for internet writing is really low...
> Remember, the purpose of morality to guide you so that you can enjoy a good life.

This statement itself is a controversial moral position, rather than a universally-accepted statement of the purpose of morality.

Wow, 3000$ for at home coding. If you are not doing anything which requires 4-10 cores etc. kind of stuff, my guess is that you should buy a decent laptop along with a docking station (or any decent desktop will do) and install LinuxMint on it. Its ubuntu based but I guess is slightly more user friendly.
FWIW, Balanced has this functionality: https://www.balancedpayments.com/docs/api?language=bash#crea...

Former licensed money transmitter executive here. As far as I am aware, as long as you are not "structuring" transfers (which means breaking payments up with the intent to hide their common origin and/or destination) and are not attempting to actually launder money, the real risk of federal prison time is born by the operator of an unlicensed money transmitter, not the user of such a service.

In the US, operating an unlicensed money transmitter is an offense that carries, if I recall properly, up to five years of federal prison time per count[1]. That is to say, if you create a service by which one party is able to send money to another third party, and operate that service without a license where one is required (and under that license adhere to capital, bonding and procedural compliance requirements), you are subject to federal criminal prosecution.

I'd be curious as to Stripe's and Balanced's interpretation of their obligations under these laws vis-a-vis their payout services.

good read. My only comment is that the primary reason Flat Design has become vogue today is because Microsoft bet big on this design for Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8. And, before that, Zune made this design popular within MS.
I am extremely happy with a Mac Mini that dual boots Ubuntu and has a couple 22" LCDs. It's small and gets out of the way, works with all the accessories I had laying around, and is well under $1k with the monitors ~$120 each. Figuring out ReFit was a bit of a pain, but it was a one time thing and now it runs beautifully.

Judging from your "pip install ..." bit, you're doing Python work. I do Python backend web development and the Mac Mini (2009 at that) has never let me down.
Your first paragraph is fairly easily solved with data. When self driving cars are common, there will no doubt be police databases with information about detours and parking etc. Given that, they will do a much better job than humans trying to find and read signs.

The other parts of delivery are more of a problem. But remember at one time we thought it was necessary to have humans pump gas, operate elevators, and dispense cash. Those tasks were only partially automated, but sufficiently enough that the rest of the job was dumped onto the customer.
Aaah, but that's just it - I do enjoy what I'm doing. I'll be disappointed if there isn't a big payoff at the end, but I enjoy the process of creating, building, learning, growing and discovery. Working on this startup has taught me so much and taken me in so many interesting directions...

I guess you could say I'm an adherent of the mindset that "startups are the new graduate school". I love learning new stuff and forcing myself to learn what I need to know to do this startup is a great experience in many ways.

But like everything in life, there are always tradeoffs.
In practice the law is interpreted though. Not just for CP!

When an analyst looks through some images they have to make a subjective judgement because it is very hard to judge age in many cases.

To be clear; striking a suggestive pose is very very rarely illegal in itself. It may be classified on a relevant scale as part of the investigation (e.g. COPINE) but that is only because it is of obvious relevance to the charge/conviction.

If someone was caught with "suggestive" images on their computer in the UK, for example, the CPS wouldn't prosecute (because it's not actually illegal).
I think you ought to listen to this :)

I'm a little confused. Do you know how to install ubuntu yourself?
It depends. In America, most people agree with my statement. Elsewhere, sometimes, but not necessarily.

But so what? There is no universally-accepted statement of anything, anywhere. The choice each of us has when reading anything is: "well, what do I think about this?" And for that, the number of people that agree or disagree is irrelevant.
I too agree that this "That code is encrypted and constantly changing" is a reasonable description of an authentication system.

However, this, "and should be hackproof", is faulty. Nothing is ever inherently secure, though it might be relatively secure at a given moment and circumstance.

It's easy to characterize this as the ignorance of American media. However, this kind of "should be X" is common for anyone, be they journalists, ordinary folk, or technologists. We all have expectations about reality and feel shocked or bitterly disappointed when the expectation falls apart.

You'll be prompted to authorize when your place in the queue is up. The importer queue is insanely busy right now so it'll be a little while.
That's a great decision on their part. However I really hope they reconsider the removal of ActiveSync support aka Google Sync. Totally anecdotal, but my wife is not a fan of the official Gmail iOS client which is their current solution for push email, and IMAP works OK with the stock Mail app for her except for the lack of push. I'd be OK with paying for Google Apps account to get ActiveSync back, except that you can't do that with a Gmail address.
I'd even go a step further. Do away with welfare, food stamps, unemployment insurance, minimum wage, etc. Instead, move to a basic income[1] system.

Everyone (well, every citizen between, say, 18 and 67, when Social Security kicks in) gets a guaranteed flat income from the government. Then raise income taxes accordingly such that the average middle class family more or less breaks even.

I am generous with the budget because hopefully this computer will be used to convert my side project into something more commercial soon :)

As for the docking station idea, that is certainly worth looking into. I could just buy awesome dual monitors and use the docking station with the laptop. But for some reason, I love the feel of good old desktop CPUs :))
I've just purchased the Atlantis Lemuria track and it worked great. I got the file a few seconds after I transmitted the funds.

One suggestion: as a customer, the landing page could display the items that I've bought.
I have the same problem as well. I didn't really want to create the account from my Google Account but would still like to import my feeds from Google Reader. If I click import it just hangs on the "Importing" page, which is odd as there is nothing to import.
The delivery guy that does regular drops at our office does everything from crates of server parts to flatpack envelopes. I can't imagine any sort of separation that can account for the variety of deliveries that need to be made and be small enough to fit onto city side streets.
Bias alert: I have a Stripe account, but not a Balanced account.

I think it's disingenuous to not suggest that Balanced doesn't 'have the developer's true interests at heart.' They've been really pushing the hypermedia API stuff, which is technologically exciting, as well as doing the whole 'open company' thing, which is taking the concept open source to interesting places.
I found a much nicer (with antialiasing) .ps version hiding alongside the original, and the source .tex too:

The original HTML doesn't reproduce any of the TeX "special" bits like greek letters or mathematical formulae, so the PS is definitely recommended.
Segregation would still be de-jure lawful in Alabama, in the same way that sodomy laws were still technically enforceable in Texas until struck down by SCOTUS.
But not to the professionals (car thieves, police, etc).
Where did I say I objected to it? Coercion has it's place, and government's role is to use coercion where and only where it's justified. My point is, let's be clear that when we talk about things the government should do, we're necessarily talking about things for which coercion is justified.

Balanced has a ridiculously huge advantage in the next-day payouts (same-day to WF bank accounts!), like Square offers. However, Stripe is far better supported by third-party clients for shopping carts.

It's really unfortunate that we have a fractured payment processing market where overlapping them doesn't solve the problem. For example:

Square: Best in-person payment processor. Next day payments if taken before 5 PM PST. Does card-not-present transactions as well. For some insane reason, does not have web access or an API despite being around longer than Stripe and Balanced.

Stripe: Best integration with wp-commerce, third party plugins, etc. Excellent interface. Rapid prototyping and feature rollout. Cons: 7 day rolling payments are slower than Square, Balanced, and Paypal.

Balanced: Fastest payments. Terrible third-party support. Documentation not nearly as good as Stripe, interface is slightly confusing.

I use Stripe for my ecommerce business and Square for in-person transactions, but I desperately want to switch to Balanced because of cashflow improvements. But that's not going to happen until third-party plugin support is vastly improved (I've already opened tickets on this months ago in their tracker with no response). Or I'd switch to Square if they decided they wanted an additional $XXX million dollars in business and offered a web API (what is the reason for NOT having this).

Annoying, but considering where we were just a few years ago, I'll take it.
"Remember, the purpose of morality to guide you so that you can enjoy a good life."

An update about the Software Transactional Memory subproject of PyPy
The web browser analogy is a poor one. There are countless standards in place for the reproduction of content on the web, and these days most popular browsers are quite good at supporting those standards.

When it comes to a commercial product like Google Hangouts, allowing users to use unsupported third-party clients is a big risk. People will conflate the client and the service; problems with the client will damage the reputation of the service, and so on.
I lived in a town where if someone was running into a store for only a few minutes, they would probably just leave the car unlocked, with the keys in it, and the engine running.
Very good observations. I wonder, though, if self-driving can work for moving items from a warehouse to "close enough" such that some smaller local service can carry it that last mile.
When I partitioned my laptop, I googled and used the Ubuntu website to follow the instructions. So I guess I can certainly play around and install it myself. But I would rather skip that part. I am more interested in spending time on installing individual libraries/packages etc. that I need for my work.
I do not think that supporting a standard protocol for calendars and contacts that all other OSes use is a "crazy high bar". I would expect that a mobile operating system whose primary purpose is greatly dependent on contacts and calendar to support the same standard that other OSes use.

In that case, I guess that we can praise Apple for meeting the "crazy high bar" for "supporting open standards" since Apple decided to include support for the most widely used open protocol for calendar and contacts in their mobile OS.
Even if you use practically unbreakable encryption keys, there are a million things that you can fail in the whole cryptosystem and any one of them will make you vulnerable.

How are keys generated? What is the source of randomness? How are keys reset if needed? What are the manufacturer/service/guvmint backdoors in the keys? etc.
I didn't make any personal attack against you. I answered your question about why you were getting downvoted by describing what your comment sounded like to me. If you didn't want to know what people thought about what you said, you shouldn't have asked.

Even in the "robbed" case, as a general rule, the wealthy aren't wandering the streets mugging people. That money is going to get spent on goods and services somewhere along the way, at least providing economic stimulus.

Apparently not.
Interestingly, these two points resonated with me.

Since we moved to an open plan, my productivity plummeted. I find myself coming in late and staying later just to get stuff done. After 6, when half of the people left, it's much easier to concentrate. Noise cancelling headphones help somewhat, but you can only listen to music so much, and it doesn't help that IT blocked Pandora, so I run out of music to listen to without getting crazy.

Their customer support is horrible. I accidentally signed up for their paid service. When I saw them charging my credi card, I asked their customer support to cancel my subscription.

Two months later, I was still being billed. I ended up calling my bank and telling them to block all charges.
A dumb thief may break a window anyway, rather than bother checking the door.

Well, the best life I could live does not include everyone else in the city around me being homeless and destitute. So, helping others can in fact help me achieve my own goals. I'd like to believe that I am not the only person that holds these goals.

Is Google Making Us Stupid? by Nicholas Carr
I missed your use of the word "producers" in the original post. So, yes, raw numbers... but that's only a minore part of the picture.

The kind of material you describe is very much borderline, and not really the sort of CP that the law is largely concerned with (despite the high profile examples that hit the media).
This type of racism carried out by people who are too lazy to realize they are hurting other people by their social blindness. It has to do with being oblivious to social context, due to one's priviledge.

The subject of Mohammed's child bride is frequently used to justify hate against muslims, and has a social context of islamophobia. If there weren't that social context it would be fine to bring it up randomly, but since there is, bringing it up is offensive. It's part of the discriminatory pattern muslims experience.
Procedural language handlers exist in the core distribution for Perl, Python, Tcl, and PostgreSQL's own procedural language, PL/pgSQL.

Third party handlers exist, off the top of my head, for JavaScript (obviously; see TFA), R, Ruby, Scheme and shell. That list probably isn't remotely exhaustive.
I'm unable to add rss feeds from yahoo pipes. Here is an example feed:

I've never had any problems putting my pipes feeds into other rss readers.
You can Google the phrase "car learning keyless remote control" and see tons of sites selling these for "legit" purposes as replacement remotes. I am sure not all of them work on all cars but I am sure the thieves simply figured out which ones work on which cars and just target those. And I agree, this is nothing new, a story about it pops up on the news every so often and the it seems like each time the Police are baffled. Maybe there needs to be a web site for the police that provides them with such information. If there isn't one already, there is an app opportunity for someone perhaps.
Oh, one more thing: consider adding Bitcoin/Litecoin as a donation option. Might be a good way to get some extra PR buzz going :)

"unlike most bulldozers" seems to heavily imply it's still a bulldozer:

"Unlike most bulldozers, most loaders are wheeled and not tracked, although track loaders are common. They are successful where sharp edged materials in construction debris would damage rubber wheels, or where the ground is soft and muddy. Wheels provide better mobility and speed and do not damage paved roads as much as tracks, but provide less traction."

In the case of challenge/response with a single 128-bit block, I think ECB would be just fine. I can't imagine a car key needing to send multiple blocks (thus necessitating CBC, etc.).

The larger point here is that most keys probably aren't using AES to start with, and there's probably some other vulnerability in the overall system.
Are generators allowed in RPython/PyPy yet? Last I checked, they were disallowed due to the difficulties of making them performant.
whoa...1% + $.30 for bank payments??? why would you need a percentage on an ACH transfer when most others charge a flat rate?
Yes and if it gets stumped it could alert a remote operator who could take over and figure out what to do. They don't have to handle every corner case if they have an escape hatch like that.
Anytime an article claims company X is going to own ecommerce, you can almost stop reading right there.

Did you know Microsoft was going to own ecommerce too? Yep, throughout much of the early to late 1990s, it was a common statement. Magazines ran stupid cover stories proclaiming Microsoft would dominate ecommerce.

And a modern interface (re: Google)? What does that even mean. Like how Craiglist has suffered immensely because it doesn't have a supposed modern interface? It's a laughable statement. Just another indication the writer doesn't know what he's talking about. Consumers don't care about what some designer may think is a so-called modern interface. Consumers care about an interface being simple, fast loading, easy to use, etc. Amazon does a great job at that; they've compacted millions of products down to a single search bar and a drop down nav that is very easy to use.

The extrapolation the author makes about saving $2k to $5k per year is silly in nature. Complete nonsense. It ignores whether one product is superior to the other, such that one is more expensive / cheaper. It ignores consumer demand, dictating higher or lower prices. It ignores supply of the product influencing pricing. Personally I liked the bamboo shoe shelf and would rather pay $20 for it than $12 for the other one that I didn't like. The author didn't even bother to actually compare products. The caveat at the bottom nullifies the entire point of the post.
I work at an NGO and have worked at a bunch of non-profits and can say that stat is simply not the case. Sure you have some organizations where a lot of the money is absorbed into various 'administrative' charges, but any good charity will have at least 75% of their money go to program costs. The best will often to around 90% of all their income going to programmatic costs.
this is awesome, I really like it. I hold a JAR-PPL(A) and the cost of hiring a simple Cessna 152 is just ridiculous (same goes for buying) - bearing in mind that it's technology from about 30-40 years ago... I am amazed by the operational costs of the SD-1. Just out of interest, what fuel does the engine run on? Avgas, Mogas (never really looked into UL)?
I don't know anyone who works at either company so maybe one of them is full of nasty people who hate their customers and one is full of lovely people who don't care about making profit - but that's very unlikely. Much more likely is that they both want to maximise their profits, they both understand that offering a good service to their customers is the way to do this, and both approach this in different ways. And frankly the fact that a Stripe employee said a nice thing about them as opposed to "fuck them use Stripe" doesn't give any clue on the subject, it just says this person is a.) polite and b.) not an idiot.
