The cooling ducts in the sidepods are a lot smaller in Formula E than in F1. On the top, there's no airbox where the air intake would be but you need to have a rollover bar above the driver's head.

Are you sure about that? Did a quick search and found this article:

They are talking about exchanging coins. Not being able to exchange coins would also mean the loss of a lot of money...

The article mentions that the banks were planning an exchange fee.
How about verifying at a later time, and granting access temporarily? At some point they'll check their email? Does this strategy work?

That's not really true for the sorts of architectural changes happening here. Because smaller process nodes mean that leakage power for transistors has grown faster than active power there's now a lot to be said for running those transistors fast for short bursts rather than at a reduced frequency. But adding more transistors still increases your power usage linearly, and performance only goes up with something like the square root of the number of transistors you use. There's things that make this not entirely true on the system level, if a better branch predictor or better cache then you might see less bandwidth to main memory and you'll be saving power there. And you can do things with the silicon level process to reduce leakage power at the cost of performance but then make the performance back up with more transistors and still come out ahead. But in general a smaller core will be more power efficient than a larger one.

Interesting infographic! seems like a good resource for college students!
That's actually a pretty good point. Networking is a more effective way to get work than just scanning craigslist, although I can see why you might call these tips "shortcuts" since from the perspective of a naive job seeker you're going of "going in through the side door" and circumventing the "traditional" job seeking process (even though most jobs are not filled through the "traditional" process).
A composer doesn't necessarily sit down and decide to "make music". A composer often has some sort of goal in mind, and yes, they will indeed seek out the best instrument for the job. The criteria may very well even include such things as "how skilled am I on the instrument"; someone may just noodle around on a keyboard or a guitar for something that may end up on another instrument entirely, for reasons of familiarity, or because the instrument has useful characteristics. For instance, a piano is a very useful instrument to write for a symphony orchestra, because even though it may not sound like any instrument that will be in the final composition, it's pretty hard for one person to play two flutes and two trombones at the same time, whereas the piano makes it easy to play at least the same notes, so you can hear the harmony.

Similarly for painting; you're looking at a world of difference between watercolor and oil (just to pick two examples), and what you chose depends on the goals.

I'm not sure your metaphor was as useful as you'd like.

It's not about not being intuitive. It's about the trade off that leads to an emphasis of the design elements for the content. Then functionality.

I concur but there are a lot of companies that equate butts in seats with productivity. Plenty of employers still have the mentality that they have purchased 40 hours (or more) from you. What employers should think is that they are purchasing productivity, not hours.

But productivity is a harder thing to measure-far harder than just tracking hours.

I'm accusing him of being like "Apple makes you feel good, you should admit it": Apple doesn't make me feel good, their phones are too tiny, they look pretty but I'm sick and tired of their design, they cheat with their prices, they abuse software developers.

For a lot of services, verifying e-mail addresses is primarily a means to filter a majority of spam accounts - think bulletin boards, buy/sell sites, etc. It is by no means perfect, but it's an easy, low-hanging fruit. It is only secondarily a check to see if the user misspelled his or her e-mail address (which is often checked by having two e-mail fields and comparing them).

I would still say that tracking down a misspelled e-mail address or have the user completely confused at the next login (because they don't realise they misspelled it) might be worse than having the break in the registration process.

Not sure. The numbers in the infographic are from Georgetown's latest study[1], but I cannot find a definition of what Georgetown's categories are. However, their chart makes it clear that engineering and computer science are not part of the "Information Systems" umbrella, and since this only covers Bachelors holders or greater I have to assume the category covers CIS, MIS, and similar "business technology" type degrees.

That's the biggest thing I came to grips with, which really has nothing to do with video games. You need to balance work with the rest of your life. Family is important. Faith (to me) is important. Friends, fitness, and food are all important (and all start with "F").

Video games worked as a tool to help me disconnect from a brain that was lying to me, telling me that I should be working. That I should be billing. That I should be devoting even more time into my work. When in fact, the opposite was true. Less of me, more of everything else, and everything began to work out.

Bet bugbear is any site that insist on labelling it username when you try to log-in but it's really your email address. If I don't use the site regularly then I can never remember whether it's going to be user123 or user123@example.com. Frustrating experience that is then often followed by the same site have an unusual set of password acceptable letters that I can never remember so I then have to get everything reset.
Well five out of ten Go is at least 2X faster (that's significant enough to me). In any case, probably the difference won't be noticeable since the bottleneck for most websites is the database side.
It does much more than that. Some of the things:

* Pushing your stuff to Heroku, even for SVN repos

* Release notes

* Permission management for deployments for teams

* Email notifications, atom feed for recent deployments

* Automatic deployments on pushes/commits/commit commands

* Integrations with 3rd party services, web hooks

* Simultaneous deployments to a ton of servers at once

* Almost no configuration necessary

How about: consider your use case first.

You cant just say "dont ask me to verify", despite the good reason you've set out. Verifying your email is critical in some cases.

I run a company called Checkout 51. The end result of someone using our service is that we send them money. Its critical we have the correct email address for a range of reasons such as them trying to recover their password, support communications and simple account notifications (i.e. we've sent your cheque OR your account has been credited)

I would love to not verify peoples email addresses, but in some cases its important to do so in order to provide the best possible user experience.
It’s not the "promotions people" taking the seats, or forcing you to pay for an upgrade - it’s the Airlines.

They determine which seats get placed in their planes how far apart, and how those seats are allocated. They could easily allocate seats with extra legroom based on height, or make it universal should that be in line with their goals. Instead a little artificial scarcity, and people start buying upgrades.

And now they’ve found that adding promotions focuses their customers rage on other customers (and not the airlines). The whole setup is a win/win for the airlines - and I suspect promotions are here to stay.

As long as we treat languages as personal preferences, the programming community will remain deplorably divided. In order to join forces to work on demanding projects, I think we need to agree on a relatively small number of good-enough languages. To do this, we need objective criteria for choosing one language that is good for a particular class of software.

I find the lengths to which Apple fans go to write about everything Apple has done and make it sound as if it's something masterful and like an 8th wonder of the world, unbelievable.

He dedicated almost a page to writing about the parallax effect. Really? The parallax effect? Translucency? Just like in Windows Vista? These things (exactly as they are) would be seen as nothing more than a gimmick on Android or other operating systems, and the same people praising Apple so much for them, wouldn't give them a second thought.

It's the same effect that helped Siri seem "real" for the first couple of years, and only now they are just waking up to the fact that it's mostly a gimmick. It's like the reality distortion field has made a comeback - or maybe it never disappeared.

It has been interesting to see the rise of forms that wish you to type in your email address not once, but twice. In an attempt to verify the user entered it correctly.

Those forms annoy me no end, if the mail is invalid you'll get a bounce and will (presumably) not consider me real. I'll not see the mail and will try again later.

I suspect most users copy/paste anyway.
I'm not so sure that designing the UX around the assumption that the first time user will try things enough such that they figure out what ambiguous buttons do is a great idea.

Great project. For anyone interested in serving up static resources seamlessly, you can use something like the following in an Apache config:

RewriteRule "\.(png|jpg|css|js)$" http://%{HTTP_HOST}.nyud.net%{REQUEST_URI} [L]

>To be absolutely clear dashboards are not on Google unless customers decide to put the URL in a blog post or somewhere else on the public internet, this is a non-story.

No. Jut because Google doesn't index a URL doesn't make it private in any way. Public URLs are public. Relying on obscurity is a bad idea. People are continually amazed at how Google is able to find URLs they thought they had not linked publicly anywhere. Send the link to a gmail user? Google knows it now.

I wouldn't worry too much though; any company prepared to trust vital business data to a SaaS web startup obviously doesn't care about data security very much. People put off by this were never going to use your product anyway.
Most web browsers remember the email address that was entered on login forms or even on signup forms their email might be pre filled for them. But it's true if the user enters the wrong email address and then never notices it's incorrect, could result in a problem later down the road if the email address is a login.

Perhaps a notification after a few days along the lines of "verify your email address is correct" top of the page in cases where it appears they haven't received your welcome email would be more appropriate. Rather than barricading them from using the service.
It's particularly useful when an article or something you want to read gets slashdotted.

Land Your Next Web Development Job: The Interview Process
The subjective apple has objective correlative brain patterns indeed, but what else?

You're imagining an apple, using stored memories to create an image in your mind. Nothing else.

There is an experiencer that has yet to be explained by any science I know of yet.

Neuroscience has pretty well established that consciousness is an illusion created by your mind as a running narrative of what your brain just did. While we don't yet know how the brain does this, experiments do show that your awareness of this actually happens after the fact as your decisions happen in you brain before you are aware you made them. It's a very cool very fancy machine, nothing more as far as we can tell.

See we all "fabricate" a worldview within our minds. We take inputs from objective reality and process them according to the picture of reality that we construct there over time. We all contain a subjective reality maintained by our hardware that is dependent upon but quite different than the hardware itself.

Correct.

The image of an apple "means" something and cannot be completely reduced to electrons or synapse patterns without losing the concept of "apple".

Sure it can, it is just patterns after all.

Materialism reduces it all to something less.

No it doesn't.

To that which only can be detectable in the objective world.

The objective world is the only world there is. Your subjective reality is an illusion in your mind, the word world does not correctly apply.

It loses the apple, for now it is just "brain patterns" or electrons.

No it doesn't, materialism doesn't deny subjective mental experiences.

No, it is only in part those things, but also a part of a subjective reality that may or may not be shared by others.

That's merely a subjective mental experience of reality, something completely accepted by materialists and science. Honestly this whole conversation leads me to believe you have misunderstood materialism, or at least the consequences of it. You keep saying things about what materialists think that are simply wrong.
The price seems very high for something thats fairly simple to create with various other tools.
This shows that individuals are unique and you can't generalize a whole population based solely on when they were born, like a horoscope.

Generally, I would hope most people would at least make a fair effort to find out who it belonged to. Certainly don't think they should be jailed for it, nor did I suggest these type of airline customers should be punished (criminally or otherwise).

This is predominantly the airline's fault and most blame should be placed on them. At least in this case some good came out of it - the food shelter received some (relatively) free pudding. In the case of the new trend in generating miles (manufactured spending for credit cards) there's an externality that impacts people who don't even travel. Credit card companies are required to determine which persons are using the cards solely to generate points for airline miles, to remove them from the programs and potentially cancel their cards. Drug and grovery stores are now required to have their workers fill out federal money laundering forms on these individuals who purchase large amounts of vanilla reloads or conduct suspicious money transfers. The costs of documenting and preventing these abuses are passed on to the end customers, whether or not they even care about airlines miles or even fly. If you use any major credit card company, you're subsidizing these operations.

If the manufactured spenders put 10% of the effort into productive work that they did into gaming credit card rewards systems, we (and they) would be a lot better off for it. Do they deserve to be punished for it, though? No. Still silly and thoughtless.
This made me curious! Why did you do this? To create a database of "signatures" to be used in your contact-list?

I'm not sure. I think this site should be mostly tech and startup related, but I also enjoy the occasional non-tech article, and find that this community sources those types of articles better than other aggregation sites (i.e. no Buzzfeed junk). If I wanted to read a bunch of non-tech I'd go to Reddit, but I don't go to Reddit, I come here. I've seen a few other articles I liked hit this same trend (immediate popularity, front page, then disappears), so I decided to run an experiment.

In the end, I think this kind of moderation is ok, but I'd rather see it a bit more refined. A flag should really be for inappropriate content, a downvote should be used for "I don't like seeing this kind of content".
