You miss the point, it's not about being morally responsible for the acts of others. It is about the act of self sacrifice to bring to light the immorality of others. This is a "duty" only to the extent that you believe in democracy and the duty of a citizen in it.

As for arguments about why you would ever act, it really depends on the person. Most people are far more pragmatic about what it constitutes for their family to be safe and happy whereas others believe (along with their families) that "It is better to die free than to live in shackles."

I've noticed the latter especially among immigrants from regions with a history of totalitarian regimes. For example, the majority of Russians who immigrated here after the USSR collapsed remember all too well what it's like to live in an oppressive state. For them, they see history repeating itself and know first hand how arguments like "who cares if you've got nothing to hide" end in people disappearing in the night and neighbors ratting each other out for petty reasons. It is very alarmist but when you're born without the cultural trust for government in America, you see things very differently.
I only did the online version of the "book", so I don't know if we're talking about the same thing. I wasn't aware of there being videos, so no, I haven't seen those, but I have viewed numerous Railscasts since completing Hartl's initial introduction and those are invaluable too.

During the tutorial, I faithfully followed almost everything presented, including the extra work (e.g. using Postgres instead of MySQL so that the dev environment matches production more closely). This included TDD and Git. Git has been fairly painless because I have used Mercurial before and they are quite similar.

With my side project, that I started right after completing the tutorial, I initially used TDD extensively, for the basics of the model, but once the foundation was laid, I can't say that I have kept my test coverage up. I assume my story is not uncommon in that respect.

If you are developing an Android app that contains native code it is exceedingly simple to compile that code for two ARM variants, MIPS, and x86, and you should do that.

A lot of the anecdotes about incubators that I have heard (and I'm not familiar with StartupChile, so it may not apply at all there) is that a lot of time there is movement between ventures as ideas don't pan out and others need more help.

I feel like being a one-man team can lead to a hard situation where you need more help to have time to get funding and need more funding to get help.

An incubator could be a good middle ground to offer some help and help you prioritize.

What part of democracy requires I defend a minority? Isn't democracy by its very definition harmful to the minority? You invoke the term like it's supposed to flip a switch in my brain, but I guess I'm not being flipped. What is your actual argument?

I'm sceptical about the truth of that claim. For a start, the UK (along with other European countries) has a blanket ban on extraditing anyone that might face capital charges; a detail many countries with extradition treaties and capital punishment systems of their own are unlikely to care too much about. Secondly, the UK government can, and in the last 12 months has vetoed extradition of a high-profile suspect to the US, largely because there was public outcry over the issue.

CPU change (lower base frequency, but new architecture, so....?), graphics bump, (much?) better battery life, (large) bump in SSD at the same price point as last year's model. Still under-loaded RAM (4 or expensive 8GB), considering how web apps have exploded in RAM spend in recent years.
Unfortunately, you don't need to tap an authentication system to spy which services people are visiting. You can achieve the same for example by ordering a popular jQuery CDN to collect HTTP referrers, IP addresses and browsers fingerprints.

Looks slick, but I was really hoping for something more modern that could drive lots of displays. A limit of three is pretty mediocre; you can do that with other already-available mac hardware. Oh, well.
Isn't the keychain encrypted client side though?
Well, it looks like I'm done using Mac Pros for CUDA development.
With Thunderbolt 2 / USB 3 support, I suspect some enterprising manufacturer will come up with a stackable storage enclosure that matches the design of the Mac Pro. That would meet all your storage requirements while keeping the size down for those who only need the additional performance.
They said it's all external via TB2 (they put in 3 TB2 controllers driving 6 ports)
Very impressive specs... Curious to see how soon it will be possible to build your own machine with the same capabilities.
I know this is a bit off topic but part of the same hardware presentation: does the new Macbook Air have retina display? I couldn't tell from the keynote.
His experiment failed after 2 weeks.. so you might not want to draw too many lessons from it (except what not to do).

I work 7 days a week, and have been doing it for 10+ years.. most of my day is work (12+ hours). I take a day off about once a month. I don't take vacations or holidays off.

The key, if there is one, is attitude. Let me ask you this: what is special about work? Is it more or less important than the other tasks you have to complete to live your life? Why do you view it in that way?

I get up every morning, make a list of tasks I want/need to complete today. Nearly all of these are work tasks. Then I get started. Work is just a list of tasks that I need to complete to live my life.. right there with everything else.
External only, via TB2.
I think they were talking about maximum of three 4K displays; if you have lower-resolution displays, you're likely able to hook up more of them.
We actually already have a very good framework for deciding if the number of lives saved by a given program will be worth the expense compared to other things we could be doing with the same money, the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs. This isn't applied to defense issues, but I can very much see it being applied to things like terrorism or crime:

http://www.slate.com/blogs/moneybox/2013/06/08/counterterror...

There's also the fact that air travel restrictions probably cost lives on net, because the number of people encouraged to drive instead of fly who then go on to die in traffic accidents almost certainly exceeds the number of people they save from terrorist attacks.
I think they would have mentioned that.. so: no. :)
Math uses symbols heavily as its own jargon, and someone approaching formulae that have unspecified symbols, without knowing this jargon, is typically fruitless.

That said, I agree that math is terribly taught. My mother and my wife both hate math, and talking it out with both of them, I've been able to pinpoint it to a single bad/discouraging (and sometimes straight out mean) math teacher for both of them. Once the teacher is mean or otherwise bad about teaching, they have not only failed as teachers, but have sometimes caused the students to put up mental walls that can be hard to tear down.

I suspect the sister mentioned in the OP may have had such an experience.
Cops break traffic laws all the time, not just when they should. (And other laws too, I suppose less often but more importantly.) These traffic violations are the most visible case of public servants deeming themselves above the law; when you started your comment with them and equated them with the rest, I (apparently) mistook you to be defending them. It's good if I was wrong.

The article outlines law enforcement without cops. You asked how this was possible.
I expect it's 3 4K displays, likely more "normal" resolution displays.
It appears to be limited to 3 4K displays at a time with the built in graphics. Graphics is expandable, and presumably onboard can drive more than 3 non-4K displays (We don't know yet, so let's not jump to conclusions)
Amazing! He's using this event (Snowden's revelations of unrestrained government snooping) to promote gun control.
"Can't innovate anymore, my ass".

Uh... what exactly is being "innovated" here?
It's 3 4k displays, not 3 displays. It's probably able to drive more "standard" displays, I expect each 4k saturates one of the controllers (which would be why it has 3 controllers on 6 ports)

That's the whole point to 'reasonable' though. It allows the effect of the law to change without changing the law itself.

This has worked against the government as often as it's worked for the government. And on the whole it has been instrumental in driving social change for the better.

The same Supreme Court that voted that equality could exist with "sepatate-but-equal" facilities later voted that separate-but-equal was not reasonable and full integration was required instead.

This drives "strict Constitutionalists" batty but I find it's one of the key benefits of our system of government.

Yep, memorizing formulas and tricks is the best choice absent some motivating tie-in.
All this advice seems to ignore what sociologist Emily Kane calls "The Gender Trap" (in her book by the same name), where females are _taught_ by their parent(s) from their birth to prioritize things like appearance and social status over intellectual pursuits thus making it impossible to gain an interest at an older age. Try reading that book, highly enlightening.
I would second a lot of what is said in here and add that I think being a part of a network of similar minded people (i.e. local programming/hacker club) can be just as beneficial as having one official mentor. It may not get you from point A to point B as quickly, but if you aren't really sure where you want to go at this moment, being part of a club can be just as useful as a mentor.
I used to restrict that globally in my nginx / apache configurations (since I mainly work with these two web servers).
It would be sufficient bandwidth for 12 1080p displays. That's not bad.
Given that 1/9 = 0.111...

You can see that 1 = 9/9 = 9 * 1/9 = 9 * 0.111... = 0.999...

For example via one of the many TB docking stations that have been promised for a long time.
No one is (or should be) saying that the operational aspects can't be kept secret. The problem with this system is not secrecy in operation, but the lack of warrants before the fact and the lack of accountability after the fact.

Imagine such a system in the hands of your least favorite politician and/or party. If you're OK with that, then by all means, carry on. Some of us aren't.
If you want to be formal, 0.999... is by definition the limit as n goes to infinity of the sum from x=1..n of (9/10^x). This limit converges to 1.

More intuitively, what is the difference (as in subtraction) between 0.999... and 1? I think you'll find that it doesn't make sense for it to be anything other than zero. And if the difference between two numbers is zero then surely they must be equal.
It's also "greatly expandable"! In the Apple Store. :)
You don't need to get the user to open up ports to build a home server appliance that seamlessly works.

You just need some people with routable IPs to serve as rendezvous points for the rest. These machines can be totally untrusted.

How To Quickly Put Down Roots In A New Country
I used to work at a phone center for Dominos Pizza. There would occasionally be a need to give this basic size approximation: two 10" (diameter) pizzas are about the same area as one 14". (50/49ths as big as one 14", unless you care about toppings vs. crust, in which case the big pie is a better deal, but I digress...)

Some people would balk at this for a second, and usually just throwing the word "math" or "area" into the conversation would quell any doubts (or at least any protests). But occasionally you'd get the "but two tens is twenty!!" people.

Those conversations degraded pretty quickly into "ok, math is the devil, let's just... what can I get you?" They wanted their incorrect view of the numbers to be the right one, no matter what the rules of area were. Those people were a drag...

...but the sister in the article, she's not. She wants it to make sense; that's a great starting point. After getting past the "girls are cute and stupid" indoctrination she's been listening to her whole life, there might be a watershed moment where she "sees" it. Hang in there, try not to be pedantic... and read Ittay Weiss' answer, good stuff there.
Me too actually, Mavericks sounds pretty lame compared to the great cat releases.
> It's the "socially accepted" version. Because, rarely it really is just criticizing of Israel - but that's rare. So people claim "I'm also one of the rare ones".

What? It's very easy to find something to criticize Israel for, so I don't understand this reasoning. Either you want to stop all conversations that are any bit negative about Israel, or your honestly believe that everyone is an antisemite.
x = 0.9999...

10x = 9.99999....

10x - x = 9.9999... - 0.99999....

9x = 9

x = 1

therefore, 0.999... = 1
