This hurts ... I once had to spend the night in a car (one night) so I know how it hurts emotionally.

I pay myself these days, but wonder about businesses that run off of greed. What is happening in Bangladesh could very well come to our country unless we begin to value our fellow man ... even the man that did not have that original great idea, or founded the company.

I understand that America was created by people who wanted to build something useful for themselves and others. Perhaps we should find a way to reinvest in this country. Make jobs for our fellow man somehow. It is an unselfish idea ... we made it, they didn't. So, why care?

It would be cool if some young talent here could make a web service that helped these people. We have plenty of photo sharing sites now ...
The fact that something so simple needs to be explained as "a thing" or "a trick", many years after HTML5 even came out, feels like a disgusting frontend failure.
You know that whole "ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" that people always like to apply to people receiving the sentences? That goes for the sentences themselves (that is to say, it would be better if innocent people didn't have to gamble on perhaps being pardoned, but weren't charged or wrongly convicted in the first place).
After doing some more reading on the matter, integer factorization is not known to be NP-complete. So I retract my original statement.
On what basis can they even mandate such a ban? Is it based on the government's ownership of roads? In that case, can you live in your car on private property (parking lots, driveways, etc)? The article doesn't give enough info.
Rather than creating laws against the poor, perhaps the millionaires of Palo Alto should try to do something to fix the problem.
The monopoly is supposed to be compensation for disclosing how the invention works, not merely creating it. If one-click were so amazingly hard that nobody else could have done it for another twenty years, we might have derived some benefit. But when any of us could do the same in hours, the patent is merely obfuscated drivel.

I used to use 360mg before exercise (equivalent to ca 5 cups coffee), and would often add 100-200mg later in the day.

"Cold turkey" for me at that level results in a week of massive headaches (too strong for just paracetamol (acetaminophen for you crazy americans)) and night sweats and shaking that is strong enough that if I don't take paracetamol or ibuprofen early enough in the evening, I have problems opening the pack of painkillers or pouring a glass of water to swallow it down without a lot of effort, and it will also generally come with diarrhea.

Not at all pleasant.

Thankfully it can be counteracted very easily by stepping down gradually. Even just 100mg-150mg a day for a week or so, combined with paracetamol reduces the withdrawals enough to cut it out fully afterwards for me.

I still use huge daily doses of caffeine a lot, but go off it for a couple of weeks regularly to increase my sensitivity to it again.

OK, but where Is "unchecked capitalism" happening? Surely NOT in California.
How does this have anything to do with capitalism?

The same politicians banning people from using the only shelter they have left are the same politicians who prevent the same people from running their own businesses by raising the barrier to entry artificially. Want to sell grilled cheese sandwiches? Not in this politicians backyard (without business license and permit that is).
Part of this is the result of capitalism (for better or worse), sure, but this story is specifically about government trying to take a broom to a certain part of the population, and sweep them out.
The CSS "display: table" and "display: table-cell" are designed to act exactly like their html counterparts.

If you are trying to provide a layout for both mobile and the desktop, putting tables in your html will definitely make it harder. If they are in the CSS, you can use two different CSS styles for mobile and desktop.
Same here: I once wrote a bunch of simple plugins for Renoise in LUA which was my first (and so far last) contact with it.. I forget everything about it since then, other than that it was very fun! I spent time learning the Renoise API and figuring out UI stuff, LUA itself just kinda worked. It was like jumping into cold water and finding it rather warm and pleasant.

> Psychological diagnosis trough Internet is not going to work.

Wait -- do you think narcissism is a psychological diagnosis? People have been able to identify narcissists since the days of classical Greece, if not before.

The fact that psychologists have a diagnosis called narcissism doesn't mean they own it, any more than Christians own the midwinter celebration know in Roman times as Saturnalia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturnalia

> To me it sounds like typical defensive behavior. There is no need to think it's personality disorder.

That depends. If the person doesn't change his behavior and instead becomes a chronic burden on his company, then yes, it's a personality disorder, and as to the terminology being psychological, who cares? The point is to solve the problem, not decide which questionable psychological diagnosis to apply.

One of the sneakier things psychologists have done is to co-opt some traditional names for well-established behaviors, turn them into "diagnoses", then try to claim their existence as proof of the value of psychology. Well, not so fast -- psychologists didn't invent narcissism, and they don't have any effective treatments either. Narcissism is notoriously resistant to treatment or remission.

If I were in charge of hiring and firing in the company being discussed, and because of my long experience with narcissists and how destructive they are, I would seriously consider getting rid of him. More here:

I really like a lot of the stuff Elementary is doing, but I loathe the way they're mimicking OS X. It's a complete deal breaker for me. It feels like a knock-off.
Sounds exaggerated, unless he had insane tolerance levels or the coffee was very weak. Typically you count ca. 70mg for a cup of coffee, though of course it varies a lot with type. If we assume 50mg, that's 2500mg...

For comparison, weight lifting supplements tends to max out at about 400mg, and from experience if you take those amounts and then don't do a hard workout, you're bouncing off the walls and it's horrible. I find it hard to imagine effectively spacing out 2500mg in a way that'd leave me focused rather than jittery as hell, despite a very high tolerance level, and without wrecking any hope of decent sleep....

Then again, tolerance levels for caffeine varies greatly - at one point I'd often drink a red bull right before sleep.

That is because Traditionally a "Felony" Normally was a Violent act.

Today however any crime that could warrant over 1 year in prison is a "felony" couple that with the "war on drugs" and other "war on"'s that have greatly increased sentencing lengths now you can get a felony for pretty minor things.

Most states even have what are referred to as "catchall" felonies, things like "common nuisance" that can be charged with the sole purpose of getting a plea bargain for a lesser charges.

In Short the Legal System is a mess.
The ordinance says:

> It is unlawful for any person to use, occupy, or permit the use or occupancy of, any vehicle for human habitation on or in any street, park, alley, public parking lot or other public way.

So it looks like there is no impediment to living in a vehicle on private property.
Why not simply use a neutral descriptor instead of a gendered one? If it is true that the author is as committed to the female pronoun as you suggest he is, isn't it therefore implied that he would only encourage such thoughtfulness at the intersection of language, gender, perception, failure, objectification and technology?

> At the same time, the council heard from numerous residents of the nearby Greenmeadow neighborhood who pointed to the growing homeless population at Cubberley Community Center and said they no longer feel safe near their homes.

I never cease to be amazed at how illogical and inhumane some people's though processes can be, especially in aggregate. People living out of their cars makes you feel unsafe? Better ban that activity! How about investing in a couple ways to get them off the street and into a home, so that they can move on/up? Rather than seeing them all as a destitute scourge waiting to pray on the unsuspecting, which is more likely to happen when you deliberately make their lives worse.
I really dislike it when things are outlawed for no other reaon than not being liked. In my opinion, in order to outlaw an activity, you should have to show that it is causing actual harm.
It looks like it's a Darwin/GTK3 open source OS and desktop environment. Previous release "Jupiter" of 2011 was based on Linux. Has its own development library, "Granite". I'm surprised I haven't heard of it before, it does look interesting.

What you're referring to is text generated using a Markov Chain algorithm. This will generate text that seems at first glance to be human generated. On closer inspection you'll find that it only follows common linguistic patterns, the actual content is gibberish.

Have you looked into Debug.trace? The type of trace is "String -> a -> a". This is a 'pure' function that 'ignores' the first argument and returns the second unmodified. What actually happens is that the first argument is a String that gets printed to stdout. Furthermore, once you give it the first argument, it is simply the identity function, which allows you to easily place it anywhere in you code.

For example, if you have a function: add x y = x+y, and you wanted to see all of the inputs add gets, you could do: add x y = trace (show (x,y)) $ x+y.

For anyone confused about how such a function is possible in Haskell, not that it is in Debug, and the documentation clearly states that it should only be used for debugging.

EDIT: You could also do traceShow (x,y) $ x+y.

In order to reach your goal of "using language to erode stereotypes about the types of people involved in tech enterprise", would it be better to reserve the use of "him" for failures and "her" for success?

I then suggest you are promoting a biased view. Some people alternate between him and her, some just refer to the person in a way that does not indicate the sex (this CEO, the founder...)

Somehow, I prefer the latter, because it's simply trying to present arguments without reference to sex, instead of "using language to erode stereotypes about the types of people involved in tech enterprise", which could also be called "performing propaganda using newspeak" (and that is less politically correct of course)

EDIT: as noted below, «If "she" is not allowed to fail, then "she" is not accepted as an equal to the "he" is able to fail with spectacular results.» - spot on

It seems that he refuses to acknowledge the existence of GPG, even when complaining about using PGP on the Mac. GPGTools for the mac is the best PGP email experience between Linux/Win/OSX, yet only Symantec's PGP is considered.

I just don't get it. He wanted to close the service before getting a NSL. He couldn't give it a day? He copies off the employee email but dumps his customers' email? (Even the lavabit guy kept the customer email). This crypto hero knows better than to recommend a fake-crypto solution (hushmail) instead of simply saying "don't use email for anything private".

Obama's Response To NSA Surveillance: Some Minor Reforms & Transparency
While it would feel SO good to do so, it's not a good strategy. Compare it to shitting in your own bed out of spite for someone else--you may feel great at the time, but afterwards, it's you who has to sit in the shit ...

Personally, I advocate this strategy: you must periodically get contacted by recruiters, yes? When they ask "do you know anyone who might be interested in this position," pause for a moment, and then supply this cow-orker's name and contact info.

Clearly, despite their incompetence, they managed to get their current job, so they should be able to get another one with the aid of a good recruiter.

Cry lots of fake tears when they announce that they're resigning and heading to another gig. Then, go out for drinks to celebrate once they're gone.

I worked in Suzhou for a month and I can tell you they are terrible at things like this. When I was there they had just began working on a subway, but they were doing construction all at once throughout the city. This meant that two lanes were closed on nearly every block just for construction. A ten minute bus ride would take an hour in the horrible traffic.
Thats part of the dilemma. I want to strongly fix the problems, but I also have strong urges to just let the individual drown in their own ignorance. I feel like I upset the order of the universe by helping the person fix the issues, like I'm giving aid to evil or something.
The article doesn't explain what a car is either, but that's because you can look that information up for yourself. Like all incorporated municipalities, the city's legislative powers exist pursuant to its charter, a delegation of authority by the state.

Hushmail took a different path from Lavabit: Hushmail openly announced that they will comply with court orders, and that their applet interface WILL be compromised under court order. They also point out that client-based encryption is outside their control.

That leaves open whether Lavabit was going to be compelled to send malware to their customers, and whether Hushmail might face the same problem.

All that means email probably is a poor choice for secure communication - the conclusion Silent Circle came to. If you want to communicate, use something that doesn't offer a target for the TLAs to lean on.
