That's the point. Netfilx = movies for the masses who might actually prefer the inferior version anyway.

Movie studios want to keep enthusiasts away from all-you-can-eat streaming services because they're one of the few groups that appreciate (and are willing to pay for) quality over quantity. Quality includes framing as the director intended.
There are a lot of voters who are quick to downvote. Sadly many of the dislike entirely legitimate questions (such as yours) because they know the answer.

So don't sweat it, besides you are already reopvoted.
Great thanks, I will look into it!
An interesting feature of lyme disease specifically (unlike some other tick-borne diseases) is that tick checks are very effective, because it doesn't migrate from the tick to the human bloodstream in sufficient quantities to produce infection until around 36-48 hours after attachment.

"generally decry"? I am curious. We are talking about a country which calls itself a democracy, yes? If there is a majority that has a problem with what the government does, it is not clear to me why said majority doesn't take the matter into their own hands and vote a government that, you know does not indulge in "heavy handed action".

Of course, if we are talking about anecdotal evidence that the people around you are opposed to crimes against the Palestinian people, carry on.
No, there is no motive. Use your brain instead of your TV for once.

Analogy: a wasps best appears on your porch. Occasionally, you get stung.

Do you a) put up with being stung once in a while or b) whack the ever living shit out of the nest with a stick, knowing retaliation is the likely outcome, and wait to see what happens?

In spite of what the US media liked to portray, OBL was an intelligent man, well versed in both war and politics.

So no, there is no motive, unless you're suggesting that OBL's goal was to get Afghanistan and Iraq invaded, and millions of Arabs killed?
I think this really hits the point. Since the vast majority of these are no different from spam (in fact, I'm convinced some percentage may be from reengineered spam software), it's those that actually respond that they have a hope of snagging.

It's entirely possible that these recruiters are paid by how many actually respond, not how many are worth hiring. I.E. Spammers send thousands of emails and if even one sale was generated, then it was worth it as it costs them so little in the first place.
Very sad that people die, but the father has blood on his hands and was a justified target. I also doubt that the son was just hanging out with his mates playing Chess. He was probably with his Dad's lieutenants.

:( it's sad that this is sometimes required. Agism works both ways, I guess.
Of course it's more than that, EU's average GDP per capita is 70% of that of the USA, population is over 150% of U.S., and income is more evenly distributed down here so losers are better off than in USA. And there is also Japan where the vast majority of 120+mm population get way more.
If you're walking around in public, the government has the right to follow you around. In fact, everyone has the right to follow you around. Having cameras and drones around just means they got better at doing it.

So what? You can ask "why" all the way down, but the effect of you sitting on a chair still has an explanation.

I want to know why the galaxies are moving away from each other, because it appears that they should actually be attracted to each other by gravity. You've actually got two problems now: "why are the galaxies moving apart?" and "why isn't gravity working the way we thought it worked?" How is that simpler?

EDIT: I forgot; third problem: "why is the sky dark at night?"
Well, yeah - but enough of that massive thing that it's a pretty impressive test of patience.
"Among the top 5,000 global sites, .com addresses are in the minority"

Could you provide a source for this? I just picked a random top website page (http://stuffgate.com/stuff/website/top-1000-sites) and found that 637 of their top 1000 are .com. It appears their rankings are from Alexa.

Personally, I like getting these sorts of emails in my face so that I can click "unsubscribe" instantly and never worry about them flooding my inbox again.
that's a really clever theory. I can't wait to find out if it is true.

I think he touches on the propaganda machine america has. You can't claim to be the best in the world if you don't lead the world in any categories; you can't claim to be the superior developing country, if you're infant mortality rate competes with the 3rd world countries; you can't claim that what makes america special is freedom, because 180 countries in the world have that, and freedom isn't even up to a very high standard here as of late.(especially relative to some socially liberal regions such as scandinavia).
Ruby and Rails on embedded platforms, talk by CEO from Innovatrics
Yes, but don't be forgetting that the Taliban are a rebranded mujahideen. This crowd were US allies (or were they pawns?). Armed and trained.
Err... actually, what happened to you happened because of faulty and inadequate surveillance. Had they had cameras in the places watching 24/7, they would have seen you DIDN'T do it. It was only because they didn't have surveillance that they had to rely on partial data. If you think about it, had surveillance been even less, and they relied on a random witness who said they saw a guy in a hoodie, and you happen to own a hoodie, you could actually be vindicated by better surveillance. In other words, the truly innocent will always benefit more from such a system than those who are actually guilty. But this assumes the use of surveillance is benevolent. Your example is not actually a good example of why surveillance is bad. It is in fact an example of how it can help. Where surveillance might be bad is in the potential for abuse. It can cause misunderstandings, but even better surveillance resolves that.
Which doesn't go so well in court.
Oh wait.. forceful decryption of private keys..
I'm all the opposite. It's amazing how many different solutions where proposed since the Elon Musk teased the Hyperloop. If nothing else, the Hyperloop sparked imagination everywhere.

Even if most proposed solutions are impractical, the very fact that they are out there now, for others to see, think about and tinker with, is a big win.
Tweet it at Elon =) but yeah.. I'm just waiting on the flaw haha
Trust me, I don't use rails at all anymore.
You like your reductio ad absurdum, eh? Why not move onto ad hominems?

Or, y'know, perhaps shock horror scandal probe your government has lied to you! Nooooo.
I think that's exactly the point. The initial aim of any totalitarian Government is to find a "total enemy". An enemy who -using your own words - "encompasses no less than the entirety of human civilization."

Nazists have found this enemy in Jews and Communists. They are a threat and they are everywhere. That was their logic behind the machine of terror, behind the camps, behind starting the WW2. They had to stop Jews and Communism from "destroying the Western Civilization". The Communists had their "total" enemy too. Namely the rich, the burgoise, hence the never stopping struggle of the "class war". Which must be won by the internatinal proletaryat. Hence the gulag system, hence the terror, hence the police state. You say it's uniqe to to sa called "terrorists" and I say this is unique in history to any government that's want to have a total control and total war. The Totalitarian Government.
Dial down the bile, Vlad. You're right, I didn't know the context of that post. Still, that doesn't neutralize my argument - we all have skeletons in the closet. Just because someone made a wrong call some time ago doesn't make it OK to engage in unqualified personal attacks, especially not if they've been a good community member otherwise.

I know, it's not fashionable to acknowledge the importance of civility, but I for one do believe it's a key factor in keeping a community productive and worthwhile. It's hard to believe that rjh29 would have engaged in that level of vitriol face to face, just as it is hard to imagine you dismissing my entire line of reasoning by selectively declaring one argument a brain fart if we had just met at the pub for a beer.

It's sometimes easy to forget there are real people on the other side of that screen and we didn't all come here just to have anonymous fights.
Especially since most breeds aren't aggressive. Especially the bigger, more impressive breeds, who are usually much more friendly or just stoic than the littler ones.
The article compares startups that received seed funding - which is mostly given out by experienced investors like Paul Graham.

If your decision to join or not join a company hinges on the assumption that you're better at picking winners than Paul Graham, well, that's a big assumption.
Ok. What about Pakistan? Oh shit, did I just blow your argument to hell? So sorry!

Aw, downvoted, for pointing out that the US carries out drone assaults in sovereign territories without consent.

Well, bury your head in the sand all you like.
Uh oh, does that mean we're about to see the families of all the collateral damage get wiped out too? And what about their families... what about Kevin Bacon...
It's cool that someone is writing a book about Docker, but I think its too early. At this stage there are new features added every month, so once the book comes out several of the features might not work the same way anymore.

I signed up for their free trial, and when it expired they sent me DAILY all caps messages (with no opt-out, no autologin link, from a noreply address) screaming at me about needing to update my credit card details.

I like their service & want more people to leave gmail, so I signed up to make a suppor request (which I had to verify in true listserv fashion) and wrote a ticket trying to explain how lots of people who signed up would be expecting a web 2.0 style try & buy trial, not a real subscription service that would send them bills! And those people would be turned off by their aggro emails, but didn't seem to get through to the guy on the other end.

So I think fastmail is still pretty oldschool internally (which is a good thing on the security & privacy aspects!) and would be well-served making more modern demos and explanations so they can directly suck people into a non-NSA gmail competitor that has a sweet UI with keyboard shortcuts, good searching etc.

Round the corner from my house in Richmond Park (London), there is a large population of deer who carry the bacterium that causes Lyme disease (and apparently several other exciting ailments) and is spread by ticks. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richmond_Park.
i'm a startup co-founder. i quite like getting recruiter emails as it lets me know what the competition is doing (in my city, and dozens of other cities around the world), hiring-wise. i can even get one on the phone and find out exactly who is hiring for specific technologies (so conveniently listed in the email), by pretending to be interested in a job.

if i'm in a chatty mood, i can even get insider information from these casual conversations like how fast these companies are growing and what technology they use behind the scenes. when companies hire recruiters, this information is leaked out. they know this; that's part of the dance to attract talent.

this information then can be used in my own interviews with people i'm trying to hire. see how that works? it's almost as if we're competing in a market. let's call it.... the labor market.

good recruiters are highly active in this back and forth, that's how they make their living. bad ones just send shitty emails and give out info without producing/capturing any value themselves.

the thing most engineers don't understand is that in a business context, everything in your environment can be used to your advantage, if you just figure out how. even annoying emails. i'm not saying i've figured it all out, but this is definitely one obvious thing that everyone who runs a company or even a small team is aware of.

and that's why most people don't run startups. they'd rather sit there and be annoyed at things and write passive aggressive emails to people who won't even read them. LOL you might as well write something similar up and send it to the guy who sends the penis pills or oxycontin emails also. make sure you make those nice check boxes too! he's going to give just about as much of a shit.

furthermore, 80/20 rule applies and a simple set of procmail filters can get rid of the vast majority of recruiter emails. there's only a few dozen firms that do this sort of thing at any any appreciable scale. but really, you should be reading these emails too, if you give a shit about the industry you work in

to me this just sounds like faux-annoyance / ego tripping on how in-demand our field currently is. it won't last forever. i know because i've lived through 2 downturns already.
You're right, America is still #1!

I agree this is an important aspect to consider. However I don't think it would affect the OP's estimate of the value of the option grant itself. It would instead affect the price payed by accepting a below market salary.

I.e. the 'real option to leave' can affect the ROI but not absolute return.
Heavy handed action does lose you elections in Israel, which is by many measures more of a democracy than the US or the UK. There is no two-party gridlock. Parties appear and disappear. Compromises are made, settlements have been given up.

However they need to draw a line when their very existence is not respected.

I honestly don't think anyone could realistically do any better than they are doing, in their position. Lots of people would not accept anything other than Israeli self-destruction.
> What's to explain about a controlled demolition?

The physics of a controlled demolition is fairly simple.

Take out or weaken one a few pillars and the weight of the building will do the rest.

Why would it not possible for a fire and/or an explosion to do exactly the same thing?

Nothing.

Lets assume it was a controlled demolition.

Now answer these obvious questions that this would raise.

Did all the people in the building not see the dynamite strapped to the pillars?

Did they not see the 100s of meters of wires?

When did the guys that wired the build do the wiring?

Was it during working hours or after hours?

How come no camera, person or security guard managed to see them?
it would be really cool to see some of the sources you found in your research... :)
Europe is very pacifistic by the US standards precisely because of the wars and totalitarian states experienced in the past. Remember, the "historical memory" doesn't vanish with a generation that experienced Nazism or Communism. It is passed on to the next generations. My guess is that what USG is claiming is that given the US had the same sad and tragic historical experiences as the Europeans did, they would have thought twice before engaging in all the wars.

Just to give you some perspective: I live in Poland. 20% of the population - 6 million (not 10,000) civilians - was killed in WW2 by Germans and Russians. Our neighbors. We lived through it. We have quite good relations with both countries. Now - forgive me the language - but how many Poles look at your 9/11 - it's a non-event. And you go like crazy on a 1000-year war with billion Muslims because some idiots blew up a couple of buildings. I'm sorry but that's how I and I'm sure many in Europe perceive it. Completely and totally overreacted. Just bring the responsible before the Court give them the due process and hand them or something.

You are totally inexperienced as a nation with just 200 years of history with the phenomenon called "shit happens" and totally, totally overreact to the point it just looks comical. You are like this big fat guy with a machine guy at a bar doing shooting-frenzy trying to kill a fly.
Yeah, app albums are a devolution. Just another format that will be too much effort to use in 10 years, making you buy the next hot format if you want to listen to the songs that you already bought.
A little bit of background on Effeckt: The idea is we need reusable transitions and animations [0], all classy but most importantly they must perform well on mobile. The project is still very much a WIP, and as some comments below indicate, there are still janky interactions that are unacceptable. We're looking at integrating something like Topcoat's Benchmark server [1] to have CI setup for CSS performance regression testing. Identify and improve (or cull) any effects that are inappropriately slow.

The project started over on lazyweb-requests [2] and Chris Coyier has led development of the project from early on. It's a very open and community-driven project, so there are plenty of opportunities for everyone to get involved and move things. Lastly, the readme [3] helps explain a lot of the goals and ideas of the project.

I make heavy use of filters and labels, so much that it's become messy. This new tabbed inbox is a welcome addition.
I think it's a mistake to imagine that it is a requirement that individuals in power with a megalomaniacal or fascist inclination is a necessary precondition for the creation of the sort of government which is functionally identical to a police state and which runs roughshod over any concept of individual liberty.

Indeed, I think such an idea is not only limiting but actively harmful, because in reality the destruction of our freedoms can quite easily take place at the hands of people operating on good intentions, with no great desire for power, and indeed with the personal perception of a great love of freedom.

Edit: I'll reply here instead of carrying the thread further. The important point I'm trying to make here is the idea that comparing the movements today which are eroding individual liberties with Nazism or Stalinist Communism is unhelpful, because they are not such. And it just gives their supporters the opportunity to go "oh, well, this isn't Nazism or Stalinism, so I can dismiss these complaints" and then have those objections bounce off without affecting them whatsoever.
> They are not obligated to understand or even know the 'work style of engineers'.

Salespeople (which is effectively what recruiters are) are not obligated to know anything about their product or customers. But it can really help.
That's an absolutely wonderful observation! :)

And you're of course right, the interesting question is not what an options grant in the average startup is worth, it's what an average options grant is worth.

Or phrased slightly differently (to make it obvious this is the relevant question): "What is the expected value of the options grant I have been offered?"
Surely drone strikes are terrorism, by both your above assertions, and any reasonable definition of the term?
9/11 was definitely planned by KSM and indirectly by his nephew Ramzi Yousef. But it's also true that we accidentally let it happen.

It's remarkable that this interview with Richard Clarke only has 53,000 hits- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bl6w1YaZdf8

It's sad that people just ignored the chief of counter terrorism on 9/11 stating that CIA knew terrorists were in the US planning an attack and purposely withheld it from the White House in an effort to develop sources. Not to mention ignoring the involvement of Saudi Arabia.
> This really isn't that much different from other album concepts that depend on a particular medium. The Who's Tommy is a rock opera; but more people know just the album.

Just the album? Tommy is a rock opera album. Rock opera is a genre, or subgenre. How does a rock opera depend on a specific medium?

I remember back when I was proud to have managed to get a gmail-invite.

Gmail was so ahead of everyone else it wasn't even fun. It was even ahead of desktop-clients, which at the time was no small feat. Those were the days of full-page-reload (X)HTML4 pages and the best webmail on the market made people prefer text-mode clients like "pine" instead.

Web surpassing the desktop in user experience during those days were literally unheard of.

Those days are long gone. These days I'm looking for whatever looks like a viable replacement. I really want to get out.
