That is part of the problem, in my opinion. I've tried my hardest to stoke conservation away from the possible legalities of this and that and push it towards the ultimate outcomes of the technology when put into use.

Also, there is no single source. If you want to read a lovely edited story try the storyful link, once done I have much additional content of the detainees being slaughtered by Assad's loyalists and families.

Or you could try the 'understanding war' link which details the forced depopulation under shelling and tank fire of Sunnis, repopulation of Alawites to boost military supply lines. Nicely written too.

edit: Thanks for the suggestions without being dismissive.
Java, for better or worse, is also the language of choice for most developer jobs outside of the valley. Learning C is great for understanding how software operates, but doesn't add much value to your resume.
Correct. In this simple algo scenario the position is assumed to be long 1X or short 1X at any given time. After the first trade, all reversals trades are then either buy 2X or sell 2X until the very last trade.

"Do you really want to trust & empower them? Get out of their way? I don't think so."

Trust begets trust. This will beget none. Is it any wonder your employees are being mediocre when you don't trust and empower them to be anything else?

Not every company can afford to hire the very best, but you don't need to. Good management will strive to improve the systems (including the human systems, the learning systems, and the motivational systems) which empower your employees to work better, and for your quality to improve. Traditional (read: negative or carrot-and-stick type) motivational tactics almost all have complex and difficult-to-measure complications which do more harm than good.

See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W._Edwards_Deming#Key_principle... - and follow them. Designed for factories, but applicable to all management of all work. It's counter to the standard American idea of the employee-employer relationship, so extremely difficult to adapt to, but it is based on behavioral science, psychology, and statistical methods and should be regarded as basic truth. Start there and base your ideas about management on facts.
I disagree: the higher level the language, the better one can focus on the algorithm itself rather than getting bogged down in irrelevant details or language-specific details.

For example, being able to swap by doing "a, b = b, a" in python allows one to focus on the rest of the algorithm rather than getting bogged down in: "temp = a; a = b; b = temp". Generally speaking, the more lines of code the harder it is to see what the code is doing.
Wifi operates at a higher frequency and data rate, which both reduce range.
In general (apart from run time code loading) one can accomplish a lot of things Erlang does in any language.

Her "how much pain and when" I think implies that she only accepts concurrency as practical when units of concurrency are isolated as that would reduce the number of shared data structures being updated, lock contentions and so on. There is some truth in there that I agree with.

But then again maybe she was just trolling. I for one do not like her tone her comment.

Oh, no, you're definitely right about that. What I meant was weird was that nobody seemed to describe it in those terms, so I was looking for the wrong thing.

This being South Africa, "local" is a bit more difficult and often not all that safe. I've got solid local contacts - the problem is nobody is selling here. Everyone is buying BTC & the only ones selling are scammers. So honestly I'd rather risk money dealing with an American/EU than a local tbh.

I think this is still, by far, one of my favorite "last mile" solutions. It's got a pretty slick look, it'll do basically all of the work for me, and I could carry it inside somewhere pretty easily.

Biggest downside I'm wondering about is only being able to use it when it's dry out (not sure there much to be doe about that while staying reasonable).

One of the major topics that comes up when discussing taxpayer funded universal healthcare is the fear of "Government inefficiency", which (we're lead to believe) will eventually result in increased Health Care costs.

These numbers and rankings show the United States spends drastically more than countries with universal healthcare, showing that the profit for the private healthcare industry is larger than any "Government inefficiencies".

The rankings show if the United States adopted a taxpayer funded Universal Healthcare model similar to those of Developed countries, the end-of-the-day costs for healthcare would go down, and everyone would actually have more money, not less.

All people operate within a system, whether visible or not. Improve your systems, improve your quality; regardless of your employees.

Besides, by definition, most of your employees will be average. Otherwise the average would shift. Focus on bringing the whole bell curve up by improving your systems and your management, rather than on terms you use for individuals. You're better off optimizing your company and your management to handle this diversity, since it's a natural result of a sample.
Adjustable is useful, motorized is not. I have an Ergotron, and it takes me about two seconds to move it from sitting to standing position or vice versa. It's less time than it takes to switch the gel mat and the chair. When I bought it, there was about a 4x price difference between that and a motorized version that would have consumed yet another power outlet for no good reason.

I'm confused about what algebra actually means. Wikipedia states "It follows that algebra, instead of being a true branch of mathematics, appears nowadays, to be a collection of branches sharing common methods."

Like any word, it has evolved into meaning a bunch of different things and it's not easy to define what it actually means. The original article "What is algebra?" seems to talk about elementary algebra.

You are assuming people who are 'high achievers' achieve highly in all circumstances: this is false.

For example, the Ivy League colleges suffer rampant grade inflation due to these high-achieving students not being able to cope with getting less-than-perfect grades. This poor coping is a form of 'low achievement' that drives other 'low achievement' behaviors: reduced course load, dropping out, switching to less rigorous majors, etc.
Ouch.

If twitter is compromised, sites serving twitter js (which is a lot of sites) are potentially compromised too. I've just checked and at least some widgets from twitter are down at present (all?), twimg.com is not responding.

DNS and registrars is a bit of a weak point at present in site security, as once they have that, they can serve users whatever they like. It would be even more damaging and hard to detect if they just tweaked content slightly for a few hours by adjusting some words in stories for some countries rather than hijacking sites.
Totally nit-picking here, but not a fan of the name and especially domain name `ctl-c`.

Where are containers physically hosted on (Amazon)? How do you allocate resources to containers? I assume that containers can talk to other containers even though they may reside on different VMs.

A "highly agitated demeanor" is EXTREMELY APPROPRIATE when TSA goons have denied you food and water and you're late to board a flight and these nitwits are preventing you from traveling to meet your family for no reason other than a hunch and a false-positive test reading on a test that's not worth doing. (My bags also often generate a positive result on these tests - the chance of a positive result being meaningful is so vanishingly small as to make the test pointless - it's security theater.)

Near as I can tell, this post confirms the original account. The differences between what he saw and what is being reported are trivial minutia. But if anyone actually cares to be able to find the truth in such cases, the thing to do is record all such searches. (And encourage the people being searched to do the same, and make the official tapes available to the searchee on request.)

It is REALLY HARD to defend one's rights against the morons of the TSA without getting angry at them. Any interaction with them raises blood pressure. If anything, it ought to be deemed "suspicious" if somebody doesn't get "agitated" when their trip is pointlessly interrupted by TSA agents demanding you bow and scrape before their authority.
Sorry to be so negative but what a moronic article.

As for algorithms wouldn't Python, Ruby or Scheme be better?

I found that frustrating in my CS algorithms classes. I spent more time fighting with templates, pointers and segfaults than actually learning the algorithms. And no it didn't teach me to be a better C++ and Java programmers, as they didn't bother teaching design principles in those courses. All that was learnt in a separate course or an in labs.

that was, almost word for word, among the things that was explained to me by the chiropractor [when he shown me the disk deformation on my X-ray - abnormally straight neck and thus abnormally compressing the front side of the disks] :

"As the discs collapse and grow thinner, the head tilts forward and the neck begins to curve forward. This begins a process that may continue to progress for years. The weight of the head causes an imbalance of forces pushing the neck increasingly forward. This slowly leads to an increasing curve and may end with a kyphosis.

The laws in the US vary by state (and sometimes by city within the state).

He was living in NYC, so I'll quote their rules. From http://pubadvocate.nyc.gov/landlord-watchlist/tenant-rights:

> In general in New York City, a landlord may only enter a tenant’s apartment for three reasons: emergency repairs, non-emergency repairs or improvements, and apartment inspections. Emergency repair requires no advance notice to the tenant. However, access for non-emergency repairs and improvements requires a minimum of one week’s advance written notice, and access for inspection requires a minimum of 24 hours advance written notice.

If he was on vacation, then 24 hours written notice for inspection could consist of putting the notice on or under his door, waiting 24 hours, then going in for the inspection and removing the notice.

I've had my landlady enter my apartment without permission or notice before, and it was a little bit creepy, but I let it slide since she was such a nice lady. She wasn't some owner of a big apartment complex or anything, just had a second house down the street that she rented out, I think mostly so she could store all of the extra furniture she picked up at flea markets and couldn't fit into her own house. In fact, the reason she had entered our house was to stash a few lamps that she did't want her sister to sell at a yard sale, so we came back one day and there were extra lamps sitting around.

I just graduated high school, I always thought Math was amazingly interesting and I couldn't understand why I wasn't doing so good in school and why topics that I thought would be very interesting appeared boring after the teacher told I had to learn some rules and apply them over and over again to get good grades (I'm oversimplifiyng but you get the idea). We were thought the 'what' and not the 'why'. I was in a computer science high school so we had subjects that you'd find in a CS curriculum in any university - EE, C, OOP and a bunch of other random stuff. So for example when it was time our math teacher had to tell us about sin and cosine the explanation was merely 'oh here's a bunch of ways to calculate your angles, remember them for the next exam'. It was in some other class (something related to EE) that the teacher went deeper and and explained all the magic behind it. I mean, seriously, the Wikipedia page has animations that make it easier to understand than my math books.
I always thought I was stupid for not having good math grades, I question the sharpness of my brain to this day.
Essays like this make me want to pick up Math again and this time learning it the proper (whatever that means) way... learn to think analytical and in terms of pattern making/matching etc etc... not even sure where to start though.

I use a standing desk with a bar chair (?) to sit down from time to time. Been using it for a year; initially I'd get tired of standing, but with time it became easy to stand for prolonged periods of time. Here's my setup: http://i.imgur.com/PjpwQXc.jpg (it's a little DIY :)

> This is about as meaningful as ranking the US healthcare system in terms of the average height of doctors.

Can you share some details why? I don't think it is that obvious what you mean.

I see "life expectancy", "health care costs as a % of GDP/capita" and "health-care cost per capita" and some efficiency index that I can't immediately tell how it was computed. It seems "interesting" on the surface though.
No, the rankings really don't show that. What they show is a rating based on "life expectancy (weighted 60%), relative per capita cost of health care (30%); and absolute per capita cost of health care (10%). Countries were scored on each criterion and the scores were weighted and summed to obtain their efficiency scores. Relative cost is health cost per capita as a percentage of GDP per capita. Absolute cost is total health expenditure, which covers preventive and curative health services, family planning, nutrition activities and emergency aid."

I should also point out life expectancy is a "crock" because some of these countries do no include live births that are under a certain number of weeks. Look at the comparison of Germany vs. France vs. US.
I'm a medical student, I know what a kyphosis is. Your link doesn't for a moment tell me why chiropractic is an above board profession or if there is any evidence base for their profession.
