That is an amusingly small amount of traffic. A typical server should be able to handle thousands of requests per second. See the web framework benchmarks. When you add in the fact this is serving static pages you will likely blow out the bandwidth first. Put it behind cloudflare or another cdn and you should only need a second server for availability.

I can't believe I haven't seen a single comment about non-verbal communication. No, a girl doesn't want you to ask for a kiss (it comes off as incredibly lacking in self confidence), but she better be touching you, smiling a lot (at you not just in general), laughing at your jokes, playing with her hair and/or many other things that show you she's saying she wants you to go further.

Everyone here is talking exclusively about verbal communication, but in courting non-verbal communication is the key context. Women are masters of it, but most men are only barely aware of it and that's where most of the problems in these kinds of materials come from and how well authors teach inept men how to read and respond to body language is what really separates a decent "dating" guide from a misogynistic "how to get charged with sexual assault" guide.

The Guide's author is a horrible writer and only makes passing references to reading non-verbal communication, but builds all of his "techniques" upon it. That's why they are all so horrible.

If you're chatting with a girl and she's smiling, playing with her hair and glancing down when you make prolonged eye contact you're probably okay to brush against her arm or touch her shoulder or elbow or even if you're bold pick her up and put her in your lap (but that'd force a girl to immediately decide if she likes you or to reject you).

In contrast if you're talking at a girl and she answers in the minimum length sentences, won't look at you, and has her arms crossed then touching her in anyway is going to make her want to get the hell away form you.

Similarly if you're in your bedroom because she came home with you when you invited her, you've been making out and her shirt is off then opening your pants and putting her hand on your penis probably isn't the smoothest thing, but probably isn't a deal breaker for her at that point either.

Again opposed to you sharing a taxi with her and asking her 10 times if you can come up for coffee/tea/drink then once you're inside her place and pulling your penis out, that's probably going to get you thrown out at the very least if not having the cops called on you.

This guide focuses exclusively on what the guy should "do" which, without a similar guide on how to know how and when to "do" those things, will lead to bad out comes if not sexual assault. It's written from the perspective of an instruction manual for a video game/passive object (the girl), which is a lot of what misogyny is all about, do A then B then C and you save the princess.
Wwx2013 speech: Nicolas Cannasse "What is Haxe?"
I appreciate this article. It is a slap in the face, a pail of cold water poured on me while I'm sleeping, a match under my toe.

Too often I am pulled away from my personal pursuits because someone wants something from me. Come drink with me, come have dinner with us, go on this trip with us this weekend. I'm never going to get anything done or 'get ahead' in this life without saying no every now and then.

Some people may be OK with living in this HO HUM world we live in; punching the clock and sitting in the cubicle or whatever their version of the cubicle is but point is they're trapped. Maybe they're happy though.

I look forward to my next 'no' - maybe then I can actually sit down and code to my heart's content and fulfill my dream of being my own boss, of creating something, and pulling myself out of the muck to reach true freedom.
Papering Over App Store Problems
>There is obviously a world of difference between verbal aggressing and physical aggressing.

That's cute, honey. Why don't you leave the real talk to us men?

I hope you see my point, but to make it more clear: boundaries are boundaries, and disrespect is disrespect.

You are making an argument about magnitude, and I am making an argument about conflict.

Now I'm going to break a rule about respecting victims, and I hope you respect that it's for the purposes of argument:

>In a crowded bus, a guy continually rubbed his hand against my hand despite my trying to move away and escape him.

So shout at him. Lay into him like you're laying into me ("you're a bad person if you think it's acceptable"--as if I even said such a thing!) and make it devastatingly clear that you won't stand for it.

You don't owe anything to the status quo, the peace of mind of other people on the bus, the rules of decorum, _anything._

It's not a solution because it's unrealistic due to inherited gender roles blah blah (and don't lay into me about _that_, Ms. "you boys"), but I really wish more women were just _loud_ about things like this.

I _like_ loud women.
I think I've seen every imaginable "bar" object have every possible "foo" action performed on it. This is the most frustrating thing I find in example code. Yes, I know your library is generalized and will work with any type of object. Please give me a concrete example of where your library might be useful, so I can easily visualize your library's role in my head. I can generalize it myself, thank you very much.
This advice leads to sexual assault? Come on. Yeah, in the strictest sense, you do not have a legal right to her bubble of space and she can charge you for sexual assault for leaning in for a kiss.

OR, she can be a normal, non-litigious person and reject you. She can say "no", turn her head, take a step back, etc. and you know what, she won't be worse for the wear, mentally or physically. I promise!

I mean, at that rate, a girl could indicate that she wants you to rub her off, but charge you for sexual assault because Simon Didn't Say Touch My Breasts. Good god, please let this never happen to anyone.

Please, stop spreading advice that any and all action must be done with full and explicit consent. American society doesn't value that. Watch romance movies sometime. This is what girls grow up with. This is how many girls wish to be treated. They know how to operate in those scenarios. They understand the roles of each and have predefined expectations long before you meet them. They want their lives to play out like the most romantic scenes from their favorite movies. They want spontaneous adventure. They want unexpected trips and kisses in the rain. They want to stare in your eyes and for you to lean in. Defy these norms at your own risk.

I mean, fundamentally, what you are saying is just that: go against cultural norms because it's better for the girl that way. Says who? You? Her? "Society"? Feminists? Movies? I, for one, do not buy this line of thinking.

In the beginning, I expect relationships with people who aren't too sure about each other might well be represented by a series of try { } catch { } and throw CourtshipAdvanceNotAcceptedExceptions. Fine, this is par for the course. This is quite a bit different from throwing a lawsuit.

The people you should worry about are the ones who after rejection occurs, grab their victim and proceed to force their actions anyways.
I'm guessing Snowden would have been less likely to come forward if Wikileaks and related events hadn't occurred first.
Kickstarter isn't censoring anybody. They don't have a military to enforce the censorship. They didn't refund the money. They made a donation to RAINN instead. The POS still gets to publish his book and the backers still get their copy.

Odd you should say so. My wife is a programmer, and distances herself from the online computing world not because of "misogyny", but because of this insane crowd of privileged people who insist on pretending to be victims in her name.
I don't get it. If they're doing it all from a "para-legal" angle, why would they even bother to document that they're doing it that way? Isn't it more of a organizational culture thing?

A $20/month Linode can handle 4k static pages per second on Nginx. I've heard tell of people pumping the cheap Linode server up to 30k views/second, but I haven't been able to break 4k.

Assuming text pages, the full 61k sites could be accessed every 15 seconds. If the pages have nontrivial graphics, then you're (as others have mentioned) far more likely to be bandwidth-limited. If the site has an unmetered 10Mbps connection, then it could serve 1Mbyte per second: If each of those 61k pages contained 1MB of data, then it would STILL be able to serve (at most) 86k pages per day.

It's likely that most of the pages hosted will be accessed less than once a day, though. Power law distribution of the long tail [1] and all that. And a megabyte is a lot of data for a single web page; I would imagine that with a 10Mb limit on the entire site, it's not going to be a place to host sites with tons of images.

Why I'm Building Yet Another CRM
So you're supposed to wait until you're alone with a woman before you sexually assault and/or rape her? That's not an improvement, and doesn't negate that it's still very much so a rape manual.
Oh yeah. 'man cp' from my Arch Linux machine:

The full documentation for cp is maintained as a Texinfo manual. If the info and cp programs are properly installed at your site, the command

Witness: Hastings’ speeding car ‘shook my car like a freight truck going by’
I'd say his use of the word "escalate" would mean to start somewhere innocuous, touching a shoulder or whatever, and go from there.

You portray the potential customer of this as some kind of rapist dreg, but I'm guessing it'd be more like a shy guy who is too timid with women (which he seems to portray himself as as well). In that light I find this delivered in slightly bad taste, but not really something to be up in arms about.

Kickstarter pulled this cause it's not politically correct, and people were upset about some quotes taken out of context. That's also fair, it's their right as a business, but still kind of weak, nice apology or not.

Ignoring the fact that the status of women as property was a literal and legal fact for thousands of years...

I don't subscribe to such a convenient ethics, I'm afraid. The enormous power I derive from the society I live in I owe, in good part, to racial slavery, to the genocide of the people who lived where I live now, and, yes, to the systematic oppression of women, all in the name of the very nation I now consider myself a part of. By my privilege, I owe a moral debt to those murdered, enslaved, and terrorized people, and if it cannot be repaid it should at least be atoned for.

I could likewise say that I do not enslave children, while I purchase products made by those who do; but I do not believe that is the path to a better world.
Heh, this is pretty interesting -- with the caveat that this really only makes sense as a ranking for research institutions (which I think the author addresses quite nicely in his definition of 'contribution to world knowledge'.)

Related note: at what point do we expect to see things like Udacity and Coursera to appear in the USNWR college rankings?
Yeah, though it's not even about forcing them to be aware of it. Like you quoted from the article, "cannot voluntarily control their arm movements".

So the question is, what's the Override Software doing with their arms? It's climbing a ladder, it's scrambling up a vine, it's hauling the body onto a boulder. If there's no ladder/vine/boulder, it's a shitty strategy, and they'll drown pretty soon.

If there's a rescuer in reach, like a foot from them, they'll climb the rescuer, unconsciously. If they drown the rescuer, they gain a minute of life, then they drown themselves. So that's bad for everyone.

If there's a life-saving device where they have to think about it and grab it, they cannot. Not will not, but cannot. But if the life-saving device arranges to be grabbed, they climb it. That's actually useful! If it floats, they can climb it and not-drown. If it's a rope, as they climb it, you can pull them to safety.

So, again. You can't count on the cooperation of the drowning victim, and it's not because they're "stupid" or something, it's because they're not people right now. But you can count on their body doing certain things.

> Regarding "fire in a crowded theater", I don't see how it's any less relevant that it was in the past, regardless of the context it was first used in. The concept is that I say something false in order to cause a panic and through the panic cause harm. (Admittedly I only skimmed the article linked. If I missed where the article specifically addresses this, I apologize.)

The "falsely shouting fire in a crowded theater" quote comes from the supreme court decision in Schenk v. US, which is all but defunct today.

> Regarding the second point, the "imminent lawless action", this is where having a good lawyer would come in to play. It's a matter of definitions and arguing for a definition to side your way.

I don't believe the "imminent" part of that phrase leaves much open for interpretation.

> Kickstarter might not be breaking any constitutional laws, but that doesn't prevent them from being sued

Of course not. But as my father (who is a lawyer) is fond of saying, anyone can sue anyone else at any time. That doesn't mean they are likely to succeed.

> I'm only saying that I believe legal liability is a legitimate concern in this case.

I'll concede that legal liability might be an issue in this case, though that's for lawyers to decide. The point of my original comment was primarily to debunk an outdated legal standard. I got sidetracked with what I will now admit is poor additional legal analysis.

I will now admit my initial analysis was poor because after doing a tad more research, I stumbled into a far more pertinent case. That case is Rice v. Paladin Enterprises [1]. Back in 1983, Paladin Enterprises published a limited-run hitman manual [2]. A decade later, a convicted hitman noted that he had picked up tips from this book; this led a circuit court to hold that book was unprotected speech. This paved the way for civil sanctions against Paladin Enterprises. The Supreme Court declined to hear the case, and Paladin's insurance company settled for an undisclosed sum.

Drawing parallels to the current issue is left as an exercise for the reader.

Systems Neuroscientist here. I've only skimmed this paper so far, but it seems as though this dataset is limited to studying cytoarchitecture (what types of neurons are in what regions of the brain) as well as some tracing of major fiber pathways. This does not represent the successful conclusion to connectomics efforts to map every neuron and every connection in the brain (see Sebastian Seung's work and the eyewire project [1]). It's hard to tell exactly how useful this dataset and model are.

There are other exciting developments that map not just neuroanatomical structure but also the distribution of proteins and gene expression [2],[3]

But big $100,000 cars like this mid-range S-class Merc http://www.mbusa.com/mercedes/vehicles/model/class-S/model-S... seem to have 20+ gallon gas tanks (here's the S550's capacity http://autos.yahoo.com/mercedes-benz/s-class/2013/s550/speci... ) and the ability to manage about 25MPG on the highway. That would place them at 500+ miles from a single fill. (They'll do a lot worse with city driving though: the S550 should only give 350 miles. I think these MPG numbers are the EPA's.)
How does this bill effect Telsa? Does Telsa have it's own company run franchises in New York or something?

I've read the bill (http://assembly.state.ny.us/leg/?default_fld=&bn=A07844&term...) several times now, and it only seems to prohibit the franchisor from forcing franchisees from doing certain things.

I'm not seeing text in here like, "We hereby force all franchisors to sell cars through franchisees." or "Selling directly to consumers is prohibited." or anything of the sort.

I am not a lawyer, perhaps someone more familiar with how selling cars works want to explain?

Too often I am pulled away from my personal pursuits because someone wants something from me. Come drink with me, come have dinner with us, go on this trip with us this weekend. I'm never going to get anything done or 'get ahead' in this life without saying no every now and then.

A good perspective on this is that time is a scarce resource, and by choosing to allocate it to one thing you also choose not to allocate it to everything else.

That being said, I'd imagine if most people (myself included) chose to prioritize personal pursuits over everything else, they'd end up exactly as unhappy as otherwise.
