It makes sense to me to do that way, if you're going to do it at all. Then there's no disincentive to work.
What??? You create a straw man, choosing to ignore a satirical opinion blog posting on the academic review process in OA journals because the author misspells phosphorus. I say maybe you should overlook the spelling error because the author is the founder of the most successful OA journal publisher to date, and an intellectual leader in the field. Then your response is that nope, his status does not excuse academic hubris (for misspelling phosphorus), and therefore you will ignore the whole argument. In addition, you doubt that I'll change my behavior based on fairly vapid monologues of science being based on evidence (and spelling as well I assume). Anyways, this has gone too far down the complete-waste-of-time hole for me. Maybe if you actually had a substantive critique or comment on the original blog post, it would be worth trying to engage you.

Shameless plug but I was writing about this a few days ago on the very same topic and questions: http://pandoralive.info/?p=2004

I also think they will be going for the heavy gamer at first. Because that is mostly their current market already. As they expand they will have several issues to break into other segments, namely regarding brand recognition (who will know what a SteamMachine is when it's built but 10 different manufacturers) and what the differences in positioning are ? It reminds me a lot of the 3DO situation 20 years ago when you had a single console standard/OS but about 4-5 manufacturers and there was a real lack of strategy as a platform. And pricing was, at that time, a big issue as well for the launch window.

Hardware upgrades on the way are going to make this a real headache down the road, but I'm sure they are already thinking on how to address this.

We'll see what their plan are very soon.

Just don't install Ubuntu on this :). Your students will cry in despair every time their VM will freeze because of Unity. I suppose this is because Unity needs a 3D accelerated graphical card and the VirtualBox emulation doesn't provide all it needs.

I agree with almost everything pg said in that essay. But I also agree that the the best economy of the future will (someday) include a minimum living wage like this.

That's because it's not a bill in pursuit of some Utopian equality: It's a survival bill. Giving someone $2,800 a month without explicitly taxing the rich to fund it is hardly an attempt at eliminating income inequality. I would call this type of wage a 'freedom-wage' more than anything else because it would give people (Like college students with mountains of debt or unskilled middle-age workers.) more economic freedom to do great things like start companies, learn new skills, and practice art. The goal here is survivability and freedom, not "fixing" massive inequality.
Copyrights, patents and trademarks all share a single unifying assumption: ideas are things that can be owned. Since I disagree with that assumption, it makes sense to speak about "disagreeing with intellectual property" if IP is just a synonym for "a legal framework that uses violence to support laws that allow ideas to be owned."
The typefaces are completely different as is the whitespace.

LOL. Rings true.

"Indian men have thicker hair and a higher hair density than their American counterparts. Adding to that, they often shave less frequently than American men, so they wind up shaving longer beards." .. "

"... observed men using a cup of water to shave. All the MIT students had running water. Without that, the razor stayed clogged."

I live in a first world country now, and still use a bowl of water when shaving: it's the environmentally kind thing to do. People who keep the water running all the time while they brush their teeth or shave drive me nuts. Ditto people who pull out three to four paper napkins from public restrooms after washing their hands. Take them one by one: one or two is probably enough.

End rant.

And on topic, I've found that the quality of the blade makes a huge difference. I think they intentionally put bad blades in the cheap razors. I wonder how good the blade on this one is.

The environment in the US is so jingoistic that it is political suicide to vote against certain national-security measures, even ones that you disagree with. This is particularly true for Democrats -- they must vote hawkishly if they want to get reelected.

This is why "Only Nixon could go to China." Only someone who built his career on anti-Communism could stretch out a hand in friendship, because that made him immune to political attacks.

The only person who is currently allowed to get away with this sort of stuff is Rand Paul -- and his father before him. You used to routinely see 420-1 votes in Congress for things that are objectively nonsensical -- and Ron Paul would be the 1.

> where e.g. many muslim immigrants refuse to assimilate to the point of wanting to be governed by separate sets of laws.

(Mildly interesting that you mention Muslims and sharia, but don't mention Jews and Beth Din).

There are some serious failures of the UK method - faith schools are a scary abomination; Beth Din and Sharia courts have led to child abusers and wife beaters not being reported to police, but just moving to a different part of the country (to continue abusing), women are unable to obtain a religious divorce, etc.

But there is a problem with "assimilation" - it means different things to different people. I'm happy if people can either speak the language or are learning the language or have made some effort to learn the language. And I'd like people to have some understanding of the EU human rights stuff we've signed up to. And I'd prefer people not to wear a full face cover when they're providing me medical treatment. And I'd prefer schools to conform to a national curriculum.

But other people are just racist, and they'll use "assimilation" to complain about other people. They'll often talk about things that just are not true (IMMIGRANTS GET HOUSES QUICKER!!) or they'll confuse terms ("Asylum Seeker" vs "illegal immigrant" vs "immigrant" vs "migrant worker"). As a nasty example of this see the GreenWave group, set up by the far right National Front as a stealth recruiting group, campaigning on ritual slaughter and drawing people into other far right issues once they've signed up.

We address assimilation by giving people a computerised quiz: "Life in the UK".

Even if it works smoothly - and you need a better laptop for this than many poor students have, no 300$ netbooks and such, it still eats your battery which can be bad if you are in a university with a shortage on power outlets like mine and have a old machine with a bad battery.
It would impact you negatively, it just won't lead to utter ruin and homelessness.
> If you think it's being passed over then you need to try and generate interest in the language

I think that 616c is doing exactly this with his comment. Not everyone can write effective articles, and writing articles also takes a lot of time and effort. Writing comments advertising the language is usually the next best thing.

I wrote a couple of Nimrod benchmarks including the one you linked to. But it again takes time, and I would prefer to improve the language and its tools than to be writing tons of benchmarks.

I really wish more people gave Nimrod a serious chance because it is truly a brilliant programming language and it really deserves to get more exposure.

Nimrod's target user base very much clashes with Go's, I hear about Python programmers switching to Go because it reminds them of Python so much. Well, I don't see it. But Nimrod is definitely a fast and compiled Python with lots of extras.
Someone reminded me of this post I made back in 2009 (pre Apple's ARC). I never implemented it, but maybe someone will.
I wonder what the accuracy for native English speakers is in doing ternary sentiment analysis.

"This sentence is false".
A side note on shaving. I love http://dorcousa.com/ razors. They are a white label razor straight from China. Dollar shave club for men definitely uses them, so do a lot of store brands. The 6 blade razor straight from Dorco comes in at $5.75 a 4 pack, the same thing from dollar shave club? $9.
OP here.

Exactly because of this reason, you should use us. We have built a low-latency HA platform. And it's our core business. This means that we will do it the best way possible.

I can understand your concerns, but you could try us out on a smaller project to begin with. Or wait until we launch our licensed version which will allow you to install the system in your own environment. I.e. keeping the data safe with you and under your control :)

But it might cost a little bit more than $9 :)

I think the only source for that data would be through the OMB, but I'm not sure where you could find it.
i) You force people to pay for health insurance. (Taking it from their pay, for example.)

ii) You protect children, because they are innocent victims.

iii) People taking drugs might be addicts, and need health care to treat their addiction.

But other than that, once they spend the money it's gone and if they don't have food then they go to a charity or route around in bins.

We talk about the social housing in the UK, but it's hard to get social housing, and being a person who is homeless because of drink means you're going to end up in hostels at best.

Ah, excellent. Thank you for the correction. You're right, it is much better.
But I can't help feeling disappointed that we have yet another disposable thing, instead of a better handle for double blades.

The problem that Gillette was looking at (expensive reusable blades and handles) is solved for a lot on lower income men in Indian by delegating the task to service industry professionals (a.k.a. street vendors, single-chair barbers). It would have been amazing if Gillette had figured out a way to make money by effectively supplying, training and endorsing that legion of individual vendors with higher grade reusable blades and disinfectants, thus keeping those micro-transactions flowing, rather than training the next generation of men that disposable is the only way to go.
You could say that about ANY cloud product though.

tl;dr Understand the tools you use.
This is a contemptible article. It seems mostly to be a product of PR, and for an American audience it seems intended to perpetuate the cognitive capture regarding razors being things that a lot of thought goes into and that therefore justify high prices.

Do the math for how much a razor "should" cost, and ask why you can't buy one for remotely that much at your local Walgreens. Ask why stuff like Dollar Shave Club exists, and then look at their prices and figure out what their margins are.

This is actually a pretty good idea, solves a legitimate annoyance. Obviously there is privacy concerns.
To suggest that this is an effect of the language rather than various teams of different people building different tools at various points in times seems silly.

What other language hasn't had multiple build solutions that were each "the one solution" at some point in time, only to be supplanted later?

How many build solutions are there for C++, or Ruby?
I don't know what your definition of "upper middle class" is, but I am pretty sure even in the top 10% of the economy in any given western/industrialized country almost nobody has half a million $ laying around for investment (i.e. that isn't tied up in the homes).
They do! Also, it turns out you can turn on email notifications to your answers for any question at any time, but only every 3 hours, ever day, or every week. I want them the second they happen, so I'm gonna try your RSS function!
It is telling that you avoided the actual argument in my comment.
The problem is that guaranteeing a minimum means that a low-paying job that potentially pays a little more may result in no increase in total income : The pay being offset exactly by a withdrawal of the government handout. This is equivalent to a huge implicit tax rate for poor people, and is common effect in developed countries with so-called safety nets.

By giving the basic income to everyone equally, everyone has an incentive to earn more money at every point on the wage spectrum. Higher earners will still pay higher marginal rates (likely everywhere else). But the situation of the highest marginal rates being experienced by the poor (which is common) is eliminated, as are the expenses of administering complex benefits and means-testing regimes.
I had a BB for about 8 years (1999-2007) before moving to touchcreens with the iPhone, and I can't actually go back to a physical keyboard - it's too slow! I can type way faster on the touch screen now. Though you do need to pay attention to your auto-correct.
The local repository cache is in ~/.m2/repository and each artifact is versioned, so you would have

~/.m2/repository/com/foo/bar/1.0/bar.jar

~/.m2/repository/com/foo/bar/1.1/bar.jar

etc., which prevents you from pulling in version 1.0 when you intend 1.1.
Yeah its the number one concern with this type of product. So it might even be good to have a security section on the front page, to ease nerves.
No mention of machine proof? Surely those raise the upper bound on our confidence in a new result significantly.
I think it would benefit from simple arithmetic compression / huffman coding if the number of colors used is small so the table can be small.
electrical shavers are not that great for me. I always feel they could shave closer to the skin and they take far too long to yield an acceptable result (and I have used several ones).

Back to blades. Fast, clean, very close to the skin and I have absolute control on the shave. And I like the smell of the cream, too.

People in Yemen are painfully friendly. Hospitality is a point of pride for them.

Most people there are quite poor by Western standards, to the extent that they might not be able to afford much food. However if they meet you (a relative stranger) they will insist that they must offer you hospitality and literally offer you the last bit of food they own, meaning they go hungry.

I don't think it gets more friendly than that.
I was waiting for the "myspace" example. I didn't realize FOX bought it for $520 mil and sold it for $35 mil. /OUCH/.
Maven stores dependencies in ~/.m2/repository (so "globally" per user). However, it can and does store parallel versions of the same library without issue. It's not much of an issue unless you need to copy your source folder elsewhere, in which case you either need to copy your .m2 (with stuff from all your various projects) or wait until maven re-downloads everything.
Nevertheless, if this site is just collecting general news into a feed, you can't call the story 'rotten' because you don't like it and don't find it edifying. It is news, it did happen, it was relevant to someone. I think your expectation of the purpose that news is supposed to serve might be somewhat skewed.
> I hear about Python programmers switching to Go because it reminds them of Python so much.

Given what it is thrown away, I also find it hard to grasp how the languages relate.
Ah, yeah. That makes sense. I can't imagine the call center for that program. Probably looks something like mission control or a war room. Then all the surrounding stuff. When you throw in facilities plus all that surrounds the program it makes sense.
Exactly. In the case of the most recent fork, it was a completely unexpected implementation bug that meant that the underlying database ran out of locks, different to the more recent builds that didn't. That was caused just by differences in underlying databases, let alone a whole new verification system as we see here.
One possible use case: Let's say you are building a new app and you don't know if it will be successful. At this point you are supposed to be working on the core. You are supposed to be talking with the users as soon as possible. You are not supposed to spend your time on things that don't matter such as registration, email delivery, forgot password.

If the app becomes successful you can always implement these things in house later.
Would not use this. If I want saas I'll use open id (facebook/google login), its free and people are already using it.

If I want ownership of code, I'll use existing frameworks.
I think that the less the job income affected my bottom line, the less I would care about performing well at it. If it was 10% of my income I would care even less. After all, I'd rather be working on my own ideas than someone else's.
As an alternative solution to the problem, try growing a long, luxurious, and sexy beard. No unnecessary waste from shaving products, no razor burn, and less time dicking around in the mornings. When it gets too long, take 5 minutes and trim it back.
Nice. I have subscribed to your mailing list. Will be interesting to see how you approach it :)
I currently have Grunt + the RequireJS Optimizer building ~5 js files from 20+ AMD modules. So, with harp I would move that build script away from my app and into Harp? Sounds very interesting, but does this separate the application from the build script?

Less/Sass seems easy, but I'd like to see more regarding JS build/min/concatenation scripts in Harp. Or is this not its goal?
I don't have a dog in this fight, but sometimes, companies are left with no other solutions. We had some websites hosted with Wordpress VIP. Because of their full page caching and just general restrictions, creating a login and user registration system like we wanted was not possible. We had to use a 3rd party hosted solutions that loaded with javascript(we used Gigya). Before that, I thought exactly as you do.

There is a reason Gigya just raised 25mm more dollars. Granted, they do more than just user login as a service.
I hate when companies compare their prices to food, beverages or entertainment ("cheaper than a cup of coffee!"). Unless your product is giving me the exact feelings and enjoyment that 18 bottles of beer would give, it's not a good comparison.

It feels like whoever is writing the copy is somehow belittling me. It's an overreaction, but I read it as, "you're a goddamn yuppie who would spend $4 on a cup of coffee. Why won't you buy your product, since your money seems to be burning a hole in your pocket?"

I hate to be negative, especially for something done in a lighthearted manner and probably as a parody of this trope in applications[1], but calling $649 a lot of pizza not only doesn't convince me, it makes me feel bad about myself—never a good idea to sell a product. Even cosmetics or fitness products are sold with a message of empowerment (you could look great!), not of belittlement (you look horrible, do something about it!).

Hi, I'm the "front-end dev" of UserApp. No, I just went on my feeling on this one :) I actually got the idea from wrapbootstrap (e.g. https://wrapbootstrap.com/theme/ace-responsive-admin-templat...). Thanks for the link btw, I will check it out later!
