I don't know. At work, I'm responsible for the regression test. I wrote the regression test. And I have a check list with 52 items required to run it (step 50 is actually running the test, the next item is making sure it's running, and the 52nd item is "walk away for the next five hours"). Could it be simpler? Yes, but it would require even more setup (since it involves generating several datasets that are copied to four machines), making sure configuration files are up to date (less an issue now than when we first started), and could involve restarting named (since one of the datasets is a particular zone file), and then starting up the various programs across all four systems.

And then, the testing environment changes. This time, it's two machines (can you tell this happened?). Not four. At least with doing this huge checklist each time, I know the steps well enough to adapt the procedure (okay, I need to mentally translate machine "foo and bar" to "snafu"). Automated, it would require extensive testing just so we can run our tests ...
I was told it was a 747 filled with those same tapes, but I guess it depends on the distance traveled who's version is the best.
>>That's a good reason to shun a particular location or instructor, but I and a lot of other people have had completely opposite experiences.

Before I posted that, I knew that a Crossfitter would respond and defend Crossfit. That is the level of cult-like irrationality I am talking about: looking at statistics (such as the ones about much higher incidence of Rhambo in Crossfitters) and responding with anecdotal evidence like, "well, my experiences are very different!"
>Mistrust of banks' ability to honour withdrawal requests is largely irrational in a developed country given the existence of government-backed deposit insurance (and the much greater risk of having your cash stolen).

I don't recall the exact date, but within the last two weeks Marketplace on NPR had an interview with several financial executives about the 2008 collapse. One of the execs had his wife run to the ATM to withdraw the maximum limit ($500) when money market funds broke the buck, and even GE couldn't get short term funding. He was seriously concerned about the ability to get to his own funds.

Being in a developed country doesn't mean your money doesn't have any risk when tied up at an institution.

Your data shows you saved with amazon, what is your point?
A +50 change means the hottest regions, that already reach up to 50 degrees, would hit boiling point for extended periods of the year. Some if those are by the sea, which would continuously boil, filling the atmosphere with steam and cause a new greenhouse effect boost and a wave of heating that would push temperatures even higher.

The problem is there are certain thresholds that cause new greenhouse effects to kick in and push temperatures even higher. For example, if temperatures rise enough to melt the Methane frost layers, they'll melt and probably kick global temperatures up another 5 or 6 degrees all by themselves. If we trigger enough of these knock on effects in a chain, well end up with an unlivable atmosphere. That's the extreme scenario, but it is not impossible.
Hmm, somehow I forgot to include the ICA information in my previous reply.

http://www.swedbank.se/privat/kort-och-betalningar/kort/om-k... says you can take out up to 8 000:- per time, and up to 15 000:- in any 7 day period.

ICA's web site (just for reference, I have no real point here), at http://www.ica.se/ica-kort-bank/icas-kort/insattning-uttag/ says people with an ICA bank account can take out up to 3 000:- per occasion, and at most 15 000:- during a 4-day period.

You are right in that I didn't understand what your point was. Thank you for the clarification.

My updated point is that when I lived in the US I also had limits in what I could take from a bank machine. If I wanted to get more than that, I had to go to the bank itself.

You write: "If you want to withdraw more of your own money, you have to ask permission and give a reasonable explanation why one is taking out "that much cash". Only if the bank approves of your reasons to withdraw money will you be able to do so.", but what you've been pointing to have been bank machine limits, not cash withdraws.

It's not that I don't believe you. I know that Swedbank wants to get rid of dealing with cash. But do you have a reference for having to justify to the bank your need to withdraw the money?

As an extreme, and admittedly not likely case, what happens if they say "no" and you respond "I wish to close my accounts. Please give it to me in cash."?

(BTW, I live directly over a Swedbank, which makes it very easy to get to their own bank machine. :) )
Exactly. My drivers license expired (the fact that could happen was news to me - law change came in after I got it) and I discovered this when trying to rent a small truck to move house. I went to renew it. They wanted 3 months of utility statement for the property I listed as my address. That's all well and good, but I didn't live there yet. I drove without a license for 3 months to meet their requirement. Then to cap it all off, at the appointment to get the license they wanted 2 forms of ID. As my old license had expired it wasn't valid, so I used my 2 passports. They seemed to think having 2 was illegal and called the police. Well done New Zealand Land Transport Authority. It was a pleasure.
I was also thinking about this. Even if the controls and procedures remain completely unchanged, it should be possible to issue warnings when things were done wrong. In fact I'd be surprised if this wasn't at least partially implemented already.
There's a very large gap between "moves less than once per year" and "moves every week".

Hell, I'm having trouble keeping a steady place to live because I'm an intern in the Bay Area for 2 months at a time. Housing market is too hot for anyone to have offered rentals even loosely timed to what I needed.
Reducing the supply of UST !=Increasing the money supply. All QE is doing is increasing bank reserves. Unless bank lend the reserves out money supply is not affected. With IOERR and general aggregate demand being jacked, banks are not really lending money out to actually increase the money supply. If just taking UST's out would have increased money supply we would have seen a lot more inflation!

*edit: IOER = Interest on excess reserves. See http://synthenomics.blogspot.com/2012/08/interest-on-excess-... for a good explanation
I think Demiurge is just misusing the phrase "is no ones business". He probably meant "is behavior that doesn't belong in a professional academic environment".
The comparison between coding and computer science is kind of like saying that 10% of your code runs 90% of the time, which is usually true. Computer science is the 100% but coding is the 10% that gets to run on hardware.
Several years ago, I remember reading - in a number of articles - that some companies were actually changing their interviewing and on-boarding procedures to accommodate parents. I couldn't believe it and hoped it was a satirical take on the American "helicopter parents". But after reading a number of articles and anecdotes, I had to accept that it was true. And that these were companies I'd never want to work for.

I'm so glad that the pendulum never swung all the way over and is, in fact, swinging back away from that. I recently read of a hiring a manager who rescinded a job offer after the candidate's mother called to inquire seating arrangements and benefits.

This is disingenuous. You think the #1 xfit guy doesn't make money by associating himself with official xfit workouts? Incorporates is cop out language so he can avoid outright lying.
Thanks for proving my point.

This athlete writes their own programming and incorporates crossfit.com workouts as an augmentation, not the base of their programming.

And since you picked Froning. It is very, very well known that he does whatever the hell he feels like everyday. He uses some crossfit.com WODs as the games approach to up his conditioning, but they are not the base of his programming and he has stated he doesn't use them year round.
8% yearly is very good, especially for such a large portfolio with limited volatility. They have made quite a few good trades.

I would not want to defend all of the fed's actions, though.
I don't know how Apple has the 'integrated experience' advantage. When I buy mp3's on Amazon I can download them to my PC, leave them in the cloud and stream them over the web, or download/stream them to any iOS or Android device using their cloud app. Apple gives me similar features, but only if I stay in the iOS/OSX ecosystem.

Last year, amazon put the mp3's for around 70% of the cd's I bought from them over the past 15 years into their cloud for free. When apple removed DRM from the iTunes store, they wanted me to pay over $300 to unlock my collection.

Amazon also lets me upload my own collection into their cloud and gives me the same streaming and download capacity across any device just as if I had bought the songs from them.

I don't see how Apple wins on price, features, or experience.
Did you know that this kind of reordering was intentional in some banks?

What the hell? Minimum balance? This practice is news to me. Is this effectively making zero into 3000? What happens if you dip below?
It's also trivial to automatically rip streamed tracks (with song, artist, album info). It took about 5 min each to scrape info from rhapsody, rdio, spotify, etc or there are existing tools to do this.

These people on "hacker" news concerned over price aren't very good hackers or are too milk-toast to be hackers. Maybe y'all need a few "how to rip music in Go" posts?

Even with Amazon you are still throwing your money away buying music at $1/song.
Awesome!!! Never knew it actually operates over TCP/IP, I always assumed some custom protocol/ARINC interop between the two units. Can you perhaps elaborate in some way on the dev environment When working on "stuff like that"? :)
Repeated injuries like that are a MASSIVE risk factor in developing osteoarthritis as one ages. OA can force you to be sedentary due to pain, and being sedentary as you age is a death sentence.
I moved around every month or two during college, because it allowed me to constantly lower my rent in a very expensive area, and saved thousands of dollars. I recently moved to Palo Alto for work, and got in a minor motorcycle accident that left my bike out of commission for several months.

Fully experiencing bay area traffic for the first time, I was pretty annoyed, so I went into 1. my national bank of multiple years, 2. a local credit union, and 3. The dealer itself to try to get a brief loan so I could get a nice sportbike. I make a decent salary, and have been working since I was 13.

Every single financial institution made me fill out my residence history for the past two years, which (on their paper forms) was a several hour process and a huge pain in the ass - why does it matter where I lived when I was eighteen? I'm not sure I remember the names of the people I was living with, much less the landlord's secondary phone number. It seemed especially pointless with my main bank, because they had full historical data on my salary, and knew damn well that I could pay off the loan in full with a month's salary.

Long story short, all of these places denied me for not having lived in the same house for multiple years. I waited a week, got a bonus, and bought one from a different dealer in cash. The next time I need a loan, you can bet I won't be going to any of the companies I visited previously.

It's ridiculous to make financial judgments based on length of residence at an address in 2013 when there's so much more accurate data available (actual income/purchasing data). I think this is a policy that's going to change - many if not most of my highest-earning peers move around frequently to meet needs of the modern job market.
A lot of people go one step further and justify their hate though. Preferences have real world results. An individual's actions might incur a social or financial penalty or risk on others. Some examples:

- "I hate people who listen to X music because it gets supported financially, while band that I prefer like Y are barely able to make ends meet"

- "I hate people who are fat because their poor health choices will add stress to the health care system and (in case of most health care systems) increase my health care cost burden"

- "I hate people who use X software tool; if only they used Y, the community would be larger, the amount of quality tools would go up, etc."

- "I hate people who go around begging for money X location. The presence of homeless can destroy property values, and reduce how many people come to visit local businesses, harming the local economy."

- "I hate the guys who only use girls for one night stands. It breaks their hearts and makes them less trusting and less approachable for all the guys who aren't like that."

- "I hate people who vote for political party X. If only they voted for Y, everything would be so much better in my country."

The problem is people don't go to the next step: realizing that their emotion of hate is more harmful then helpful, and seeking out more productive solutions. Hate, at best, can be used to shame people into social compliance, but in our modern world, a person can generally find a subculture where they are accepted and not shamed, which largely mitigates this utility. All that is left is the effect of hate making us less empathetic, less willing to cooperate, more predisposed to make irrational choices, more stressed and so on.

So basically, if you are hating on people, I don't hate you. I just wish you would think really carefully about what the cost and benefits of the act are for yourself and for society, and then practice managing those emotions more wisely in the future. For that reason I offer this text forth.
> the fact foreigners are exiting treasuries

Can you back up that claim?
>It sounded like you started off by agreeing and ended in disagreeing, but I can't tell where the switch was

It makes sense if you read the last sentence as describing (and sarcastically mocking) the opinion of the author of the Forbes article as to what is newsworthy.
One of our many lawyers can relate to us how meaningful the complaint about the word count in the prosecution's brief is. Maybe it's a big deal; I have absolutely no clue about that point.

But the central argument to me in this piece is that the DOJ is simply criminalizing URL editing. That is to me a gross oversimplification of what's happened. The CFAA is constructed not to criminalize accidental or reckless unauthorized access, but instead using a "knowing" standard. The DOJ's argument in the Aurenheimer case is that the defendant was aware that he shouldn't have had access to information tied to ICC-IDs, just as he'd have been aware had he tried to loop through Social Security Numbers in some other application.

There are plenty of sane arguments (see Orin Kerr† for a good survey) that what Aurenheimer did shouldn't have constituted unauthorized access. I don't actually happen to agree with any of the ones I've heard, but, more importantly, I have a hard time believing that those arguments are so dispositive that they indicate malfeasance on the part of prosecutors.

To me, the central problem with the CFAA isn't that it's easy to trip. Rather, it's that the sentencing is totally out of whack, in two ways: (1) that CFAA reacts in a particularly noxious catalytic way with other criminal statutes to accelerate minor infractions into significant felonies, and (2) that sentences scale with "damages", which have the effect of creating sentences that scale with the number of iterations in a for(;;) loop, which is nonsensical.

The problem is not simply that once prosecuted, defendants face unjust sentences. It's worse: the oversentencing creates a perverse incentive for prosecutors, turning run-of-the-mill incidents into high-profile vanity cases that lock the DOJ into pointlessly aggressive prosecutions.

To me, it makes sense that what Aurenheimer did should have been illegal, but it makes no sense at all that he's serving a custodial sentence over it.

(I did read the whole article; I didn't find the user-agent and responsible disclosure points particularly compelling, but maybe you did; I'm happy to opine about them as well. It's my judgement, not the article's overt wording, that the argument revolves around URL editing.)

Good to know if I ever need to implement a brand new device driver. Otherwise I'm stuck in C anyway since everything is written in C.

Principally, that is the reason even though I'd love to fix the internal breakage of the linux desktop (pulseaudio issues, gstreamer, mesa, wayland, etc) all of them are written in C and I drank Bjarnes kool-aid and can't go for an entire source file in C without desperately wanting a C++ feature of some kind. The abstractions are just such huge productivity gains writing everything imperatively drives me nuts (at that, a lot of my code is imperative, but only when it is right for the job - if I have a great description of a collection of data and functionality, classes are correct; if I need to treat functions as data and avoid state functional is correct; etc - trying to lock myself into one methodology after writing in all 3 makes me feel heavily restricted, it is one of the reasons I love python).
Not saying you're entirely wrong, but there's a difference between incidental vs necessary complexity, and a web UI is not even remotely similar to an avionics dashboard. There might be something we software people could teach those in avionics, but I'd imagine the reverse is actually much more the case.

In fact, ergonomics was started by research during WW2 to reduce airplane accidents caused by human error. There's a reason flying is the safest mode of transportation today, and efforts in ergonomics play a big role. For example, the gears are placed in standardized locations / have standardized shapes to prevent pilots from using the wrong ones while in panic mode.
I was being sarcastic at the end. I think the article was very uninformative and painted a completely incomplete picture there.
Whoever came up with the idea of high-rep olympic lifts needs to be shot.

Seriously, it's incredibly dangerous. Olympic lifts are very complex mechanical movements and it takes real Olympic athletes months if not years to master the form. There's a reason for that: if the form is not correct, you open yourself to significant risk of potentially-permanent injury.

The problem with doing them with high repetition (and usually as quickly as possible) is that your form starts to break down after a few reps, but the competitive culture pressures you into continuing.
The difference is that if you accidentally skip one of these steps, you won't destroy a $50M+ piece of equipment, devastate 100+ families, and/or disable an airport or neighborhood for days while rescuers collect the body parts of all the people you killed. Complexity is the enemy of humans in stressful situations. Where lives and tens or hundreds of millions of dollars are on the line in a zero-fail environment, I would strive for simplicity.
Thanks for sharing. I love to know about the early days of pioneers. It humanizes them and makes me feel what they did is something normal people, like me, can achieve.
Between Google Chromecast, Amazon's new "micro-console", numerous other Android "mico-consoles" and Roku, Apple's "hobby" project may be in for a real battle. Locking down the usability scenarios right now is not a good idea.
A classic example of the so-called solution to shortages being the problem in the first place. Who's going to invest in a toilet paper factory in Venezuela now if it's just going to get stolen from you?
Because "Johnny guy lay person" was educated. If it was a secret that CrossFit was trying to cover up, then he wouldn't have known.
Thanks, that's an excellent suggestion! With a Zipcar like situation, I was worried about insurance, accidents etc. However, if we were to do something like lyft, and get some people who get the donated cars be obliged to give fellow members a ride, that may lower the risk and amount of money needed to secure transportation for them.

I was even considering 12 passenger vans being given to one person who would get compensated for driving others to work on a daily basis. Thanks again for the suggestion
another dark secret: form is not the #1 priority. youtube is full of videos of people doing crossfit with horrific form and the instructors seem more focused on getting folks to "do" the exercise rather than "do it right".

it seems like crossfit doesn't quite appreciate how easy it is to destroy a knee, or your back, from improper deadlift or squat form. done properly, they are fantastic exercises. improperly, they are dangerous.

>Now, if only we could figure out why Apple jumps through hoops to support a smart watch.

i get what you're hinting at, but it also sounds like it could be useful for ibeacon.
Why isn't this viral yet?
Probably one of the best videos on YouTube.
Yep, this could not in any way be used for something else, such as the already announced iOS in the Car [1] program.

I get the feeling that the iWatch will be the next "Apple will make a full sized television." Maybe it will happen, but only after 5 or 6+ years of analysts saying it will come out at the next Apple event.

Look at Samsung's watch. It's big, it's ugly, it requires a high end cell phone, it's battery is only good enough for about a day, and it's $300. Maybe Apple can do better, there is a long way to go for something that fancy. If you go to something simpler like a Pebble, there is less room to stand out.

Besides, does anyone think Apple can resurrect the watch industry? I'm sure they'd sell tons, but nothing compared to the tablet or phone markets.

> Doesn't this guy know that the new scandal is high-rep box jumps?

Are gymnastic ring muscle ups coming soon?
Absolutely. I'm grateful that our coaches always tell us (and other new people) to do bar sets, and even do the workout lifts with either PVC or the light bar only when we are still mastering form. Safety > all.
Then they start charging "maintenance fees" on top of that. Thereby making the (completely manufactured and idiotic) problem even worse.
Reminds me of American Cancer Society's "Road To Recovery" program: http://www.cancer.org/treatment/supportprogramsservices/road...

The American Cancer Society Road to Recovery program provides transportation to and from treatment for people who have cancer who do not have a ride or are unable to drive themselves. Volunteer drivers donate their time and the use of their cars so that patients can receive the life-saving treatments they need.
My impression was the beacons were passive. Even if they aren't, I'm not sure why my notifications would need to be sent to it.

I think this sounds suspiciously useful for iOS in the Car [1]

Some modern airplanes do have integrated electronic checklists.
I have a lot of coworkers that injured themselves doing CrossFit. I don't understand why CrossFit is such a trend in the tech industry.

It seems like an easy way to hurt yourself.

Simply go to the gym and do your own workout...
