That's not a mentality, that's being aware the USG consists of millions of people, exactly the opposite of

I looked over those articles, and they really didn't scrape the bottom of the barrel. Speaking authoritatively as a Russian (heh), I think -all- vodka tastes like rubbing alcohol filtered to remove anything that might resemble redeeming qualities. This is proper: vodka is supposed to be repeatedly distilled with no head added back in afterward: it's supposed to basically be distilled alcohol and water (with some aficionados claiming you can taste the underlying whatever, but I think they're full of shit).

But - but! - the cheapest stuff I've found to date, which I used as an ethanol extraction solvent - was absolutely and identifiably different. Not due to flavor, merely, but clearly due to inferior distillation processes. How can I tell?

Because no other vodka burned my esaphogus and stomach so long, or with so much intensity. It was like eating coal, and chasing it with lava.

I bought this stuff at 11$ for a handle, and if you put a gun to my head, I wouldn't drink it again.

Yes, if someone passed me that stuff at a bar, I would know.
> The REAL issue here is that government agents appeared on her doorstep and asked to come in, for no apparent reason.

They search pressure cookers and backpack and got the visit from gov agents after boston bombing. how hard is it to put 1+1 ?

The REAL question is: what kind of cooperation is Google in this time that not long after doing one of trillion searches in a popular browser you get gov officials exactly at your doorstep?

It seems they have to be tapping into the google bloodstream, because I am not aware of any Google department that big that could weed through billions of searches and flag those as potential t. and hand them over to officials.

Anyone?

Is it a dumb idea to to see if I can get visited after doing some Google searches? Is there a law against trying to get noticed by authorities in this way?
Yeah that's brilliant, and it looks pretty great. This would probably make the whole thing much more complicated but it'd be nice if the "unused" days were invisible, and I agree that the name is a bit awkward. Beyond that though, awesome.

I think what brought us to this point is our persistent belief into the Cold War era roles in the world. US the good guys. Ruskies - a menace to humanity. When the US invaded Iraq, everyone was upset, but in the end people shrugged it off. After all, the US is the good guys. They can't do no harm.

Now after a decade of American led wars, invasions, drones... and now the mass surveillance program, we slowly start to realize that maybe things are not as good as they seem.

Perhaps, it's time to reassess the past established roles and look at the world afresh.
Can you ask her for me: do high priced vodkas taste, on average, nicer than cheaper ones?

In wine I think that is not the case, at least in personal experience, and I believe research agrees with me though don't have sources for that. Champagne less so... I do prefer more expensive for that.

Whisky (single malt scotch, to be precise) I do think that on average, more expensive is nicer. Not to the extent that I would always buy more expensive if I don't know two bottles, and there are plenty of examples of cheaper being better (some of my favourites are in the £40-£60 range), but the higher end of the price range opens up some fantastic drinks as well, and typically the 5-10 bottles I have at home will range from £40 up to £500, because I personally think some are worth that. Whereas I'd never go that high with wine, unless I wanted to drink it purely for the sake of drinking something expensive. (Of course, a bottle of scotch lasts longer than a bottle of wine, but.. I'd never spend £60 on a bottle of wine at shop cost, and most of the time drink £5-£20 bottles.)
I'm wondering if this kind of thing will be met with outrage or understanding. It seems plausible that the general public could feel more secure as a result of this, as it shows that the government is actively trying to stop terrorism.
The family should have refused to answer questions without an attorney present, as this could easily fall under a 4th Amendment violation on the part of the government.

It does make you wonder about the reporting rate on these sorts of events.

Considering the hostile skepticism on the thread about the article Ms Catalano posted, I would not be surprised if other people (especially those without professional writing credentials and a million-strong twitter audience) had decided not to come forward with their stories in the past.

San Francisco, CA - Full-time, permanent - MuleSoft

Node.js Developer

Mulesoft is looking for node.js Developers to join our award winning Cloud Platforms team in San Francisco.

You will get to pioneer a greenfield JavaScript/Node.js project with a growing team creating brand new services and features for our CloudHub Platform - our Integration Platform as a Service (iPaaS) which recently won the SIIA Software CODiE Award for Best Integration Solution.
You will have the opportunity to apply node.js to develop high-performance and highly-scalable event-driven components which will provide the backbone for the CloudHub platform, and a set of shared services across the Anypoint cloud platform. This is a greenfield project so there is tons of room for you to be creative, solve impossible problems, try new technologies and make your personal mark on things. In addition you have the opportunity, client-side, to use JavaScript and frameworks like Ember and Angular for developing Single Page Applications.

You’ll get to work with a great team of smart and talented engineers in San Francisco, as well as plenty of opportunity to travel to our engineering team in Buenos Aires, Argentina. We have a really nice office space with lots of company perks, and we run regular meetups and hackathons. Most importantly you’ll have a lot of fun doing this.

Some of the things that would make you a great fit for this exciting role:
You are excited about node.js and could explain to a room full of engineers why it’s such a compelling and powerful technology.
You are active in the open source community. You have a github account and would be happy to share with us some of the projects you have started or contributed to. MuleSoft is an open source company and most of our team are open source contributors.
You are constantly trying out new languages and frameworks on your own time - Ruby, Scala, Clojure, Akka, Angular, Ember, etc.
You are interested in APIs, big integration and big data challenges. A lot of what we are building involves scaling to massive volumes of web transactions and analytics/metrics which will require technologies like AWS, Hadoop, and real-time event processing.
Strong JavaScript knowledge and development best practices including unit testing and continuous integration of JS applications. You should feel passionate about this and have pretty strong opinions on why it is so important.
You probably have a Web/UI JavaScript background and are comfortable working up and down the full stack and contributing to our SPA if needed (in fact this is probably one of the reasons you are excited about node.js).
You know when to choose appropriate technologies for the team to use; iterate quickly on ideas and push them out to customers in a continuous fashion; assist junior members of the team by performing code reviews and providing technical advice.
Multiple openings at various levels (junior, senior, principal).

vim does it by default (eg. when rewrapping a paragraph). I only recently discovered the nojoinspaces option to turn it off. Before that I was removing the extra space by hand all the time.

The issues with package versioning and dependency management are well known and frequently discussed in the Go community. This article does not cover new ground in that discussion.

To list the dependencies for the application github.com/user/myapp, run the command:

go list -f '{{.Deps}}' github.com/user/myapp

The command

go build github.com/mypackage

builds github.com/mypackage and its dependencies. If github.com/mypackage is a command (a package with name 'main'), then the resulting binary is written to the current working directory. If github.com/mypackage is not a command, then you probably want

go install github.com/mypackage

This command builds and installs the package.

New York, NY - Full-time and/or intern - Pathgather (pathgather.com)

Pathgather is bringing the open online education revolution to the corporate world. We're disrupting a $2bn industry with a 50% dissatisfaction rate through a platform that allows employees to learn more by learning together. Our platform incorporates educational resources from across the web (think MOOCs and the like) with a company's own internal content to provide employees with a comprehensive learning catalogue. Add a social layer on top of that, and we're building the next gen of LMS (learning management systems).

We're bootstrapping and have already signed a Fortune 200 company with 30,000+ employees as our first customer. They signed on board before we even had the product finished, which shows the demand for this type of platform!

We're a team of 2 at the moment (the founders) and are offering excellent pay and equity for our first engineering, full-time hire (full stack engineer is a huge plus). Any hire will be core to influencing the direction of our product and business. Cultural fit is highest priority. We work in WeWork in NYC and are looking for someone who we'll enjoy hanging out with as much as working with. Skills in any of the following are a plus, but seeing as how we are education based, if you aren't fully versed in all of these, no worries. Come learn here!

* Rails

* AngularJS (we use it heavily!)

* PostgreSQL

* Phonegap/Mobile development

* Coffeescript/Sass/Haml

* Past experience in API development

To apply, email me your Github or links to past work at jamie@pathgather.com. This is a great opportunity to get in at the ground floor of a very promising (and already profitable) early-stage startup!

I'd strongly prefer believing this too, but the part that mentions them receiving 'an email from Mercy Hangover Prevention' and then the picture showing their vodka + the 12-pack of Mercy makes me think the story is real, unless Mercy is owned by friends of theirs.

Most code is read in fixed-width fonts. I don't see why this is controversial. The argument to use only one space after a sentence-ending period only makes sense when reading in a variable-width font as the width of the space is corrected when rendered (and two spaces over-corrects).

It seems the model is driven by negative reinforcement rather than positive reinforcement. Charity or no charity, I'd prefer a model that rewards staying on track rather than punishing lack of motivation.

When you're talking about motivation, I feel that getting someone to do something to avoid negative consequences will result in low quality work and a begrudging state of mind.
No, we don't know enough. What we know is that something here looks odd, and that warrants more investigation.

Perhaps this particular person was already under investigation for something else. We don't know.

I want to know more, but I'm reserving my outrage until more facts and confirmation come out.
I live in a Swedish city, and I recently visited the local "garbage burning" power plant. It's not like the trash is just burned and the fumes released into the atmosphere, they pass through like 10-15 different types of filters removing and recycling different particles. The fumes that finally are released supposedly have a very negligible environmental impact. I'd link you some sources, but I got this information first-hand from the plant engineers, not sure where to look.

Oh, "internet memes," such pesky things! Why, every time there's a new Chuck Norris joke there are congressional hearings and amendments being debated! Such trouble! And remember that last time someone posted a cute cat video, and congresspeople made statements left and right (some of them even validating what the cat video said)?

My my, what trouble those "internet memes" get us into.
You and I are on the same page in terms of political philosophy. There needs to be an organization called 'Americans for Voluntary Society' or something like that.
There's a world of difference between "using it" and sending agents out to chase down leads that are statistically worthless. You can believe that they have and are otherwise using such a system while simultaneously rejecting the idea that they'd be wasting time and resources in this way.

That presupposes that lawyers have aligned incentives on the issue. If you're not a patent litigator, you don't want startup companies to be embroiled in patent litigation. You want them to be able to focus on growing, because bigger, more complex companies need more and more expensive legal services. And if you're a judge or someone in academia, you've got tenure, so what do you care?

At CircleCI we're building Heroku for Continuous Integration and Deployment. We have traction and revenue and funding and great customers. Our customers love us, because we move quickly and provide amazing support. Everyone talks to customers a lot.

We're still a small team, so you'll have a large impact on company culture. We're highly influenced by Valve's Employee handbook, and have as flat a structure as we can.

We're currently looking for a Frontend Engineer - You'll work on improving our customer's experience. Our frontend is a single page javascript app, using HamlCoffee, Less and Knockout. Its a lot of fun to work on, but also needs a lot of work. We have a lot of impressive features that our users need, everything from better visualizations of deployment, to responsive features that work well on mobile, so you'll be a really important part of the team. Experience with Angular would be particularly cool.

Check out our shiny jobs page at https://circleci.com/jobs. Include samples of awesome stuff you've done.
Agree that part of their success is that they're setting low expectations. When Meyer said "We promise not to screw it up"[1] after dropping >$1 billion on Tumblr, I thought to myself "Way to set the bar low, Marissa."

I remember having "funny" situations with with AS3 SOAP marshaling and unmarshaling. For example, in same cases it would just fail silently, providing half populated objects without without any errors. In the end, the workaround was to just invoke SOAP methods directly using HTTP and just manually parse XML response. Good old days.
