I'm sorry, but what's so wrong with not wanting to have advertisements on your browser?

People make their money via ads? Sure, why not. Do I always have to see those ads, and just sigh and "suck it up", even though it's potentially ruining my browsing experience? I don't think so.

Sorry, maybe I minimized my example too eagerly.

class HelloWorldApp {
public static void main(String[] args) {
switch (args.length) {
case 0: System.out.println("No args!"); break;
case 1: System.out.println("One arg!"); break;
default: System.out.println("Multiple args!"); break;
}

System.out.println("Hello World!");
}
}

This also seems to not emit the "Hello World" println.

Insurance makes money on float and usually loses money on insuring something over the long term. I can't remember the exact numbers, but GEICO might payout something like 103% (or 3% MORE than you paid them) over the term of your policy with them.

How do they make money? http://seekingalpha.com/article/419731-buffett-on-insurance-...

Basically they invest your premiums during the time you are paying them and make money off of holding your money. Then the other insurance agencies might lower their costs and end of paying out 104% (or whatever) of what you've paid in. This competition pressures the market to close the gap between what you can make on the float and what you can charge your customer, but there is going to be some gap and that is the profit margin.

If the insurance company can make a high ROI on the float, they can charge less in insurance rates and still make money.
Is that true? For example, St. Louis, Missouri's violent crime rate is comparable to Oakland's, according to Wikipedia[1], but doesn't appear to have strict gun laws. Similarly Memphis and Atlanta; neither Georgia nor Tennessee are particularly well known for strict gun control, and I can't find any evidence that those particular cities are different.

[1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_cities_by_crime_r...
See https://github.com/trentm/node-bunyan
So how come Houston has 3 times the robbery rate of San Jose or San Diego? Why does St. Louis, Missouri, have a higher robbery rate than Washington, DC?
Some interesting numbers and quotes from the article when you put them together:

"As of July 31, Oakland had 626 officers - still far less than the 800-plus officers the city had in 2010."

2010: 2917 robberies

2013: 5311 robberies (pace through Sept. 22)

"In early 2013, police Lt. Chris Bolton analyzed robberies across the city and found that roughly 75 percent involved a smartphone."

"So far this year, crime, as a whole in Oakland is stagnant. Shootings are down. Homicide has dropped by 13 percent...But robberies are up. A lot."
Not really; discounting extremely simple programs like print "Hello world", there are many possible stylistic differences and people will write things differently. One person will write for, another while; one i=0;j=0, another j=0;i=0; another will name variables differently; another will take two lines and make them into a procedure; one will write "if x then return y else return z", another "if x then return y; return z;", another "if not x then return z else return y" another "return x ? y : z" etc. If your assignment is at least 50 lines of code, compare it with someone else. You will see tons of differences.
One less key to carry, I imagine. Practically speaking, I wouldn't really mind having my wallet and keys integrated with my smartphone. It is the security implications that make me uneasy.

Looks really interesting. I wrote an SQL parser and compiler frontend for a SQLite-style database last summer. I started off in C using Lex/Yacc, but for the last piece of the project I used Haskell. This step was to take SRA ("sugared relational algebra"), which is essentially a transition step between SQL and simple relational algebra, and desugar it into relational algebra. The code is up at https://github.com/thinkpad20/sql if anyone is interested, with the code for that portion being contained in the haskell folder. I might translate the whole thing into Haskell (maybe using Attoparsec) at some point.

I was curious that you used a different version of relational algebra than the one I had been taught. I've usually seen RA described in terms of six fundamental operators: Project (pi), Select (sigma), Rename (rho), Cross Product, Union and Difference. What gave rise to the model you chose?

Anyway, it's great to see that more people are using Haskell. I would love to be able to work in it some day.
How do you know? or do you mean that you hope the NSA doesn't give a fuck?
I understand your inner skeptic, but seriously, this investigative zeal might have been more appropriate elsewhere.

The guy could have easily folded, like hundreds of other companies, without a word. Instead, he shut down the service to protect its users. I would have given him $30k just for that as a bonus for being awesome.

He's a damn hero if you ask me. Along with Aaron and Snowden. They are a few and deserve every support we can give them. Even if they buy a pack of beer with fund money.

Creator of Bootsnipp here, in fact the new Bootsnipp that I am building will be something along the lines of snippets+ interactive prototyping + hand coding if needed. Anybody will be able to build up on existing templates right there on Bootsnipp, no code editor needed.
The battery life issue of smart phone is coming to an end. Basically battery life will be the prime feature of competition for smartphone makers from now on. Wireless charging, better battery technologies, and etc means the probability of your phone dying on you is going to decrease considerably over the next few years.
And yet, tit-for-tat is still the winningest strategy.
Since the lock will probably be in motion when not not in use, couldn't you just use some kind of kinetic charging mechanism to charge the battery? Is kinetic charging not enough powerful? Or is the circuitry too complex?
submit a PR?
That sounds really useful.
Fair enough. I see your point. North Dakota is a geographical region. Either you reside or have resided in that area or you haven't. It's not an ideological movement or organization.

I'm interested to hear your response to the other part of my argument. That is, what, effectively, is the difference between a monolithic organization and a heterogenous group of organizations with a shared ideology?
Myth: The world needs more articles in which Millenials are explained

Reality: Millenials have been lied to by virtually every authority figure for every single moment of their entire goddamn lives, and are slightly harder to bullshit than yesterday's suckers and rubes
Or maybe people were willing to give something a chance, and found that though it has benefits, it's not everything it's cracked up to be? I am a solitary person so I found the entire idea of pair programming repugnant but some people really love it. I don't think it has anything to do with fashion more to do with what some would consider a failed experiment. Did coding this way yield quality code at a faster rate with less stress? Anecdotally I would say no, and that may be why it's called nonsense by some.
So this is a great comment, and I really do understand how these attributes make TJ's a viable business. The dots that still haven't been connected for me are the ones that draw the picture of how someone like Daniel upthread could wish for a TJ's to open up in his city.

Do you not have Whole Foods or some equivalent? WF has massively better produce, protein, dairy, cheese, bread, and wine/beer than TJ, and comparable staples.

A well-maintained Kroger or Safeway has massively better staples and significantly better produce and comparable protein and dairy; vs. Kroger, TJ's only wins at dairy, cheese, bread, and wine, and not really by much.

You're making the same point I am: the article headline is wrong.
I don't think it can be taught. It can only be learned.

It's not a subtle difference.
Can you make the lib used to render the animation and the drawings opensource so developpers can understand it more easily and "hack" it when the designer goes overboard? thanks.

Thank you for opening up - I just took an online ADD test after your comments, and while it does look like a broad diagnosis, if there are options beyond my own coping mechanisms I want to know!

As for therapy - don't worry, I go myself and as well as helping me look at how I got here, I am pretty sure it is a worthwhile career to take up after I retire - what started as a therapy session is looking like life coaching and business coaching. I think the stigma will die.

take care
It's standard HN policy (and elsewhere, I might add) to only use the actual headlines of linked articles. This prevents editorializing in the headline and undue steering of the ensuing conversation.

The edited/new headline is the same as what's actually on the linked article. If you believe this headline is overly politically correct, take it up with the SF Chronicle.

I sympathize somewhat, but keep in mind that these rules are common throughout online communities, and only exist because submission headlines became massive soapboxes.
I've been noticing headlines change on HN more and more lately. It's very disorienting and kind of shakes my confidence in the content.
In states that have strict gun laws, the way it plays out is that the victim never has the opportunity to defend themselves. Read any story where an attacker tries to rob a person with a concealed firearm to figure out how it plays out when the victim is armed. It usually doesn't end up well for the attacker. So I guess we should just all be victims and never defends ourselves when attacked. It actually drives crime up when everyone plays the victim and doesn't defened themselves. The attackers feel emboldened to commit the act over and over and over again with impunity. Why should they stop? No one is preventing them they should continue to rob people, it is working for them.
Maybe this lock will have a physical key as well for just this scenario? Lockitron has that fallback option in the event that the electronics aren't working.
In case anyone is looking for a debug utility, not for archival logs, look no further than http://github.com/visionmedia/debug. Named loggers, nice formatting, easy to use and you get timers for free:

require('debug')('controllers:something')
debug('doing stuff', someObj)

then selectively enable it in the command-line with

DEBUG=controllers:* node index.js

Express has debug built-in, so setting debug to express:* will turn on logging for it's internals. Just saying this 'cause I wish more tools came with built-in logging :)
Just gave it a spin on the Mac.

I was very surprised to see that there are no templates...which makes it very hard to determine stuff like...is there any way to align columns and text?

Here's what I made in about 15 minutes:

It's quite easy to place things and the animation is pretty straightforward. What is extremely painful is how things behave when you click on things...like, it took me some time to figure out how to edit a Text box that I placed, and also how to change it from a paragraph to a headline.

In terms of usability, I can't image how this will be productive for anyone, including newbies. In the medium to long term, most people would be far off better learning how to do basic HTML in a text editor, GUI be damned here.
one less thing to carry. no more lost keys or searches to find them. Ease of use. With the bluetooth 4 ease of connectivity, interaction between your smart phone and locks will be invisible. sharing access: something you can't do with physical keys.

I may be in the minority, being that I came to programming from a desire to kill the boring shit that constituted most of my old job, but I really enjoy killing boring shit. It might be a psychological tic, but even if I have under 10 users for a given script I love seeing them ask "Wait that's all I have to do?" when you show them that their computers are now doing their mindless bullshit almost instantly. Sure the given business logic might be trivial, but I've always gotten a relatively bigger kick out of user satisfaction than a fascinating problem with little user impact. (not to say that fascinating problems are either useless or uninteresting, I rather enjoy playing around with hard problems, it's just preferences of rewards).
See, I care about where I donate my money to. If 40k is 1/10th of what's needed this fundraiser may be just wasted money - I could be better of donating the money to EFF directlyr. If the entity behind the fundraiser is lavabit, the US government could just shut down the company and freeze the funds, again wasted money. I'm not asking for an itemized list or a timetable, I'm just asking for a little information that goes beyond "we'll try and sue and we need money". I'm not assuming bad faith, but is that too much to ask for if somebody tries to collect north of 40k on the internet?
True, but the font detracts from the technical content. Presentation of information is important. There are cognitive and psychologic implications that your reader will incur when reading a document written in Comic Sans. There is nothing to be gained from using Comic Sans and it's not difficult to simply not use the font.
Have you read the [Message Contains No Recognizable Symbols] series? It's pretty great: http://www.ssec.wisc.edu/~billh/g/mcnrs.html
It seems pertinent to note here that the opposite is true also. Many of the greatest [Western] scientist of history have been religious and/or believers in God and often have had religious support.

Galileo, Huygens, Liebniz, Kepler and Newton are the first few that spring to mind. It used to be that (some at least, I didn't do a survey) of the biography boxes included "religion" as a characteristic.

For these named at least their religious beliefs were an active and important element of their lives and places their work in perspective.

Personally I find it lacking wrt NPOV to not include that information in the biography box.

In response to your specifics re Einstein the cited wikipedia page includes (and included on 18 Sept the quote you claim to be missing (at least a form of it):

>"Your question [about God] is the most difficult in the world. It is not a question I can answer simply with yes or no. I am not an Atheist. I do not know if I can define myself as a Pantheist. The problem involved is too vast for our limited minds. May I not reply with a parable? The human mind, no matter how highly trained, cannot grasp the universe. We are in the position of a little child, entering a huge library whose walls are covered to the ceiling with books in many different tongues. The child knows that someone must have written those books. It does not know who or how. It does not understand the languages in which they are written. The child notes a definite plan in the arrangement of the books, a mysterious order, which it does not comprehend, but only dimly suspects. That, it seems to me, is the attitude of the human mind, even the greatest and most cultured, toward God. We see a universe marvelously arranged, obeying certain laws, but we understand the laws only dimly. Our limited minds cannot grasp the mysterious force that sways the constellations. I am fascinated by Spinoza's Pantheism. I admire even more his contributions to modern thought. Spinoza is the greatest of modern philosophers, because he is the first philosopher who deals with the soul and the body as one, not as two separate things.[19]" //

I don't think it does justice to Einstein's beliefs to say "'he was an agnostic' and that's all". For example the statement - though I've not looked at the wider context - that:

>"[...] Christianity as Jesus Christ taught it [...] is capable of curing all the social ills of humanity" Einstein "Ideas and Opinions" (1954), NY, Bonanza Books [via Wikipedia]

seems quite contrary to Bertrand Russell's position of whom it could equally be said 'he was an agnostic and that's all'.
I'm fine with acquaintances that don't really correspond with me when my birthday rolls around. However I explicitly don't wish anyone a happy birthday over facebook. If it's someone that's important to me, I will make it a point to either text them, call them, or otherwise arrange to meet up with them in person. Otherwise, I leave it unsaid.
Sure. It seems like this is taking a problem space (physical security) and adding complexity by introducing another problem space (digital security), while further increasing my dependence on my phone.
Yet this product exists now. It could be possible that there's a way to unlock from a laptop, but grogenaut's argument is pretty logical as of whenever Bitlock would launch..

edit: Didn't notice you were OP. If I were to use this product and my phone were to die, what could I do?
I had the same thing happen with a friend of mine who had moved. Her and I kept in touch periodically, and we'd always catch up and complain about the dumb shit going on in our lives.

I hadn't heard from her in awhile, and her not responding back via text messages was always weird. I then checked out her facebook and saw all of the wall posts and lost my shit.

What I wouldn't give to just have five more minutes to complain about the dumb shit one final time.

Now and again, I see stuff related to her show up on facebook and I just kind of stop and think for a bit.
Because you're not dangerous or a threat. Not that I love the idea of someone awkwardly thumbing through content that my mind has created, but why would the NSA care to detain a foreign national over being smug?
that will complicate everything! and also increase the cost. besides you can't harvest much energy from that kind of mechanical movement...
Well, there are JVMs and native compilers for the embedded market, able to target less powerful boards, hence cheaper design per unit, with much more performance out of the box.
What's the point then? Honest question.

My U-Lock key is on my key chain, which is in my pocket. It takes more effort to take out my phone, unlock it, and open the BitLock app.
Can you tell me about your individual case. Does running help you if you don't use strattera?
I can't edit my comment, but in reply to myself, I didn't mean to suggest that there aren't exceptional talents and exceptional companies in Dublin and Ireland. I'd consider many of my friends and peers geniuses, and their talents astound me consistently.

What I meant more so was that government policy seems to be pushing Irish innovation into a corner, while cheerleading a 'knowledge economy' that probably doesn't jive with our ideas of what a knowledge economy is. You only have to look at the recent reductions in the wage-floor for importing tech workers, on a fast-track visa scheme, from outside the EU, to see what I mean. If we had a thriving tech sector then why are wages stagnant? Why did Sean O Sullivan bleat on about needing to issue, what was it, 15k visas to non-EU people per year? We have a massive EU wide workforce, with massive unemployment and masses of graduates graduating each year. A significant number of STEM grads leave the industry because they can't find work, and yet we don't have enough workers? And if we don't have enough workers then why do they need to lower the wage floor for importing people? Shouldn't wages be rising?

Government policy is purposely driving wages down. Jobbridge internships have been extended to 18 months, and I fear for the effect that this is going to have on the country, in terms of brain-drain for graduates, and general morale.

It sounds like you guys all feel good about our tech sector. I'm glad, because as well as the above, all i've heard for the last 10 years is how terrible our graduates are, and how companies are annoyed that they have to spend money bringing people in from elsewhere. This isn't true of course, they don't have to, it's just part of the same 'we only want geniuses' narrative that's taking place in the US and elsewhere, which is handily also stagnating wages. I could link to probably 50 interviews and articles (if i had enough time) from CEO's of Havok, Demonware, Paypal, Google etc etc saying how poor our country is for talent, and whether you feel good about our tech sector, the statements coming from our indigenous companies, and MNC's, don't make me feel good.

So i'd suggest that if the sector is thriving, it's in spite of our culture, political climate (except for corporation tax), and whatever else, rather than being a thing that was destined to happen.

Anyway nevermind that, if anyone has any more suggestions for meetups, i'd love to hear them. Thanks for all the suggestions so far.

If you fulfill a contract, both verbal and written, that's called fulfilling contract obligation with good faith. Loyalty means something quite different.

Now, don't get me wrong, I think the death of company loyalty is a good thing. And I can only hope all other tribal loyalties that were once pivotal for tribesmen to survive go away too, as that's increasingly creating division among ourselves than uniting us against "them".
One thing that always kept me awake about this idea is the fear of false triggering.
I has been a few decades since I read it for the first time, so I may be glossing it in my mind.
It's not about trust. It's about whether I believe that this is a good investment of money or whether I feel that donating to another entity is a better choice. There's many fights to be fought and so little money to go around. I trust them that they have only the best intentions, but what happens if they don't collect enough funds to go all the way? Did anybody win anything if they have to fold midways because money ran out? 40k wasted that could have been used somewhere else?
