We sold some books on amazon as a publisher a few years ago (not just a third party but the actual listing owner) and Amazon happily removed any derogatory review we requested without hesitation.

To be fair, there is good reason for this but I am sure it is easily abused, but it is not like they checked the review, the action was near immediate when they got the request.
Same side as politicians?
And because you can upgrade right from Snow Leopard onward, it will see huge adoption pretty quickly.
You're not allowed to take stuff through that checkpoint because it might be an explosive, so they take the stuff off you, and put it in a big bin, next to the line of people.
Announcing Firebase Bindings for EmberJS
Politically tinged comments seem to get downvoted quite a bit here, similarly to Slashdot and many other forums. I've experienced this myself. In my opinion, downvoting a comment for any reason other than flagrant trolling, personal attacks, or similar content that degrades the dialogue should be considered inappropriate use of the privilege, because it undermines the feature and renders it pointless. On a Slashdot political topic, I have to read at -1 to catch all the points of view.
This is great to see. The IPython project has grown to be much more than just a collection of nice interactive interfaces to Python. It is a well-designed JSON-based protocol between interactive interfaces and execution kernels – which can execute any language, not just Python. The fact that you can do things like IHaskell and IJulia is a testament to how well the IPython team has designed the protocol.

The best part about this project is that it stands to reduce much of the duplicated / wasted effort that goes into recreating the same interface functionality for every single programming language. This is already allowing Julia (and now Haskell) to reap the benefits of the amazing browser UI work that's gone into the IPython Notebook – all for the very low cost of implementing a rather simple ZMQ message server.
On a related note, ever heard of the bubble theory of money? The theory goes, that good money is essentially a bubble that can't be popped easily. People compare Bitcoin to the tulip mania, but that is a wrong analogy, given that tulips can be cultivated by anyone to any degree -- whereas Bitcoins are capped by design.
Well, who knows if someone's gonna be so pissed off at tax collectors that he's gonna blow a fucking plane out of the sky. I mean, really pissed off.

I don't understand what you're trying to say. Khalid al-Masri had better feared the US government, and probably now does. So should everyone who's a muslim or brown, apparently, as the CIA reserves the right to abduct and torture people.

Yes, being abducted and tortured by the CIA is relatively speaking rarer than a car accident, but it's something entirely out of your control, and something completely avoidable.
Our trading system is purely in C++.

This particular subsystem was a replacement for a previous version, which was a kill switch and had led to opportunity costs. We spent a lot of time designing, implementing, and testing it, but haven't felt the need to touch it since then. It's sufficiently general that it doesn't need to be adapted as our strategies change, and it doesn't need to adapt to changing market conditions (as, e.g., a trading strategy does).
I wonder why the coinbase prices are inflated to almost the GOX price. Are there market makers and scalp traders driving up the coinbase prices now? From my experience coinbase doesn't have the withdrawal issues like gox
Yup. They had trouble getting people to buy Windows 8 when it was $40.
That argument usually applied to iOS an their practices about non easily user repairable hardware.
My comment was to push back at already-posted assumptions about the U.S. healthcare system in general and obesity in particular. I have gone through the original study, but the NPR article said:

"The NIH report says that in 2002, 2003 and 2004, life expectancy in France increased by 10 months, which is a crazy pace (and I'm guessing it hasn't stayed that way)."

The likeliest explanation for a jump that large is a change in methodology, but there could be other factors (climate? there was a big heat wave in 2003). The U.S. does have a different culture and climate than these other countries.

I'm very happy to read an article that discusses the complexity of comparing life expectancies between countries, but the NPR article wasn't it and the HN comment section is just now getting to the point where people are discussing what the numbers really mean.

The podcast I linked is more along those lines as well, but it also goes into other popular measurements of national health as well, if I recall correctly.
How to make your first website (really)
It might be true. A way to fix this would be to involve some women groups and convince them to attend "en masse".
Another vote for Susy. It is ridiculously easy to create a responsive grid using their sass mixins.

Susy should not be compared to Bootstrap/Foundation since it is just a small grid system and not a full blown framework. It can be compared to something like Bourbon Neat.
Since Google are offering them under a _irrevocable_ royalty free licence I don't see how you could have come to 'understand' it that way.

Do you have any references to your claims?

Nice. We also work remotely, but our product is a tool to help engineers work remotely (Floobits YC13). I started this job less than two weeks ago and I am finding myself to be more productive, and overall happier working from home. I have less time and energy and money spent on commuting and more time with family and work and I love both.

I don't believe that InnoDB escalates locks. Quoting from the fine manual:

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/innodb-transaction-mo...

> InnoDB does locking on the row level and runs queries as nonlocking consistent reads by default, in the style of Oracle. The lock information in InnoDB is stored so space-efficiently that lock escalation is not needed: Typically, several users are permitted to lock every row in InnoDB tables, or any random subset of the rows, without causing InnoDB memory exhaustion.
Didn't Lion not support 2008 models? I think it's cool, and unusual, that they can now upgrade to Mavericks.

Thanks for this. This is how I argue, and I never knew someone had come up with a term for it.

It also allows you to let other people win, sometimes, even if they consistently argue badly or illogically. It's good to let other people win as often as you can (at least for me.)
heh. I get the title now, and explains my confusion with the article content. It led me to believe that you build an AngularJS-and-Rails-powered website.

Thanks for the clarification.

Startup vs. small business.
I’ve heard it made plenty times in reference to OS X (also iOS where they are really pushing the boundaries of the hardware to bring it to old devices). Every time a new version comes out, actually.
Probably you're right, and actually in the case of shoes I would patronize my local running shoe store because they're awesome people (also, most types of shoes are not taxed in Mass. so it's not the best example :).

But it might alter our shopping behavior and start being more disciplined and saving up lists of stuff to get, and then the trip starts to become worthwhile. (It doesn't hurt that I have a Prius now, 50 mpg/22kpl).
No kidding.

Not only will Apple get some good press for this (barring any major technical snafu) but they'll glean some additional community goodwill and drastically reduce the number of legacy OS X versions in the wild.
Cool. I made sure my email address is in my profile. Send me any info you have, if you want. Thanks!

Unless you're interested in Metro (nobody), is there anything remotely interesting about 8.1? Mavericks has some impressive battery and performance improvements that anyone will be able to use.

I'd be mad if I had to pay for 8.1. I would've happily paid for Mavericks.

>I mean no offense to you personally, but I fail to understand how this problem fits in a world in which 2.5 billion people lack basic sanitation.

some of the people making big on some app will become the next Musk (though unfortunately some will become the next Thiel) and will work on the big problems our civilization faces. That is is the beauty of SV - it allows people doing business here (or even merely employed) to generate resources to try to tackle something bigger. It is like springboard.
I'm saying exactly what you think I'm saying. Even if you're in the unfortunate minority that the US chooses to be biased against, you're thousands of times more likely to be hurt in a car accident than to be abducted. That doesn't excuse the CIA's behavior, but it does inform what a rational brown, Muslim person should spend his or her time fearing. (Hint: Other things being equal, not US surveillance of their innocuous internet traffic.)
>The T.S.A. has emphasized its goal of giving 25 percent of all passengers lighter screening by the end of next year, meaning they can keep their shoes and jackets on, wait in separate lines and leave laptop computers in their bags. But travelers who find themselves in the higher-risk category can be subjected to repeated searches.

So if we are good Citizens, we will be rewarded. Only bad Citizens have something to hide and they will be molested for it.

Somehow this does not comfort me at all.
You should look at the HTC First. It is discontinued, but runs 4.1, has good specs, and is available on eBay for $150-$200.
Do you have a citation for that? I can't seem to find any sales information on the $40 promo.
Nope, this time they're streaming the actual event (Apple's providing it, they can just re-stream).

But they do editorialize on top (and cough and sniffle)... fortunately, only occasionally.

How to use our open source SDK to crowdsource Android's atmosphere sensor data
I've always thought that that effort had value, even if it is a failure.

I think BeOS had something going right when BeFS was introduced with indexed extended attributes. Tagging and other metadata are exceedingly useful, so why isn't anyone working on a native tagging filesystem with indexed extended attributes? That would go a long way to making the likes of WinFS a reality.

Even more useful is if we find a way to standardize the communication of these additional metadata, to make the tags and attributes more portable.
He said Lion and up, not sure if there will be a paid option at all. I've got a feeling that it won't support hardware that didn't come with an earlier model (he mentioned the hardware that it supports but I haven't cross referenced the default OS for those).

They have been pretty crappy about people emulating it so I wouldn't be surprised if this is an easy way for them to make that even more difficult.
OsX is not free, you still need to buy a Mac.
As for MSFT , they are a software company,not sure what they can do about Windows price ,which will never be free.
Want free stuff? use Linux.
I first learned of this world in popular non-fiction: Emergency by Neil Strauss. An excellent book if you want to know more about secrecy jurisdictions, state regulatory capture, the basics of transfer pricing, etc. is Treasure Islands by Nick Shaxson (http://treasureislands.org/).
fully agreed. the numpy, scipy, matplotlib, PyQt4 stack in particular is very indifferent to virtualenvs: you're going to need to install a whole ton of dependencies system-wide regardless.

i recommend it to everyone i work with, but it is significantly more useful when all your dependencies are pure python.
I'm running Lion on 2007 MacBook, so it should support 2008 models.

The problem was with Mountain Lion, because it required 64-bit EFI (or something) which older models don't have.

An Uber For Your Teeth, With A Dentist's Office That Comes To You
Is there something special about Apple's DRAM that makes it not a retarded decision to cut the amount of RAM in the baseline rMBP in half? Or did they just do it simply to give you the illusion that the price of the machine is cheaper when you'll actually pay about the same after a RAM upgrade?
Ripple works this way, a fraction of an XRP is charged as a fee for each transaction (posting and cancelling offers). As a decentralized bid/ask ledger protocol, the fee is needed to prevent tx spam and DoS attacks.
I agree with this, I've never understood why Mozilla (are dragging their feet) when it comes to implementing webp.

It's hardly a huge maintenance burden, all development is done upstream and there's an easy to use c library implementation, and of course it's fully open source and royalty free.
Call Yourself A Hacker, Lose Your 4th Amendment Rights
I wonder what the technical reason is for not letting Leopard users upgrade. It seems like everyone I know with a 2008/2009 is still on 10.5.8
On a current project, I got seduced by all the 'potentially useful' javascript that comes with Bootstrap. But in my experience, Bourbon/Neat were a whole lot simpler to work with. And pretty much everything I'd ever need (e.g. scroll spy functionality) can be accomplished with jQuery and available jQuery plugins.
Speaking of lay people who don't objectively evaluate things, you posted this before you even learned the details of what uProxy was. You saw the word "Google" and hit reply.
OpenBSD has done several things with the random device and its userland interface, but nothing like what you have described. The opposite in fact. Until recently, there was no /dev/random node. Now there is.

When describing how you'd like raster art to display, you can use the "Density-independent pixel (dp)" unit described here: http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/screens_support...

Thanks for taking the time to share this. I'd like to hear more about why your devs actually need pixel units specified, instead of implementing a scalable interface based on percentages.

You've done this with the "13.75%" left and right margins -- why not do this for most elements as well (eg, GO button is 14% screen height -- abbrv. as 'sh:14').

StrongLoop | Node.js News Round-up – October 22, 2013
A lot of that, especially points 1-3 depend on if you work with other people synchronously or asynchronously. At my current job we all try to work as much synchronously as possible, so there is no real difference from any other "office job", except everyone is in different location (we all are in roughly the same timezone), and we don't have to commute. We focus on trying to keep sanity, and keep working hours (my experience is that it helps a lot when working remotely)

For shops that allow/ or just work asynchronously, other arrangements need to be made to allow that. Usually more and more stuff is written and stored, so everyone can join and leave any moment.

There is a similar book being worked on by other ruby-remote working company: Arkency, http://blog.arkency.com/2013/09/arkency-survival-guide-to-ef...

I'm surprised this isn't even mentioned in the article. I guess there are issues with boundary effects, but those can be overcome in a variety of ways.

Also, if your convolution kernel is short enough, you can beat an FFT. So, in 2D with an NxN image, an FFT filter will have a complexity of about (N^2 + N^2 Log N). If your kernel is KxK, then direct convolution will be (N^2 K^2), so you have to compare Log N with K^2. But keep in mind 1.) these are asymptotic complexities the coefficients matter 2.) K may or may not depend on N 3.) FFTs are may have larger memory requirements, although you may be able to get away with in-place FFTs, and you don't have to explicitly compute the FFT of the gaussian - you can work that out analytically (you should get another gaussian...).

Also, as someone pointed out, the gaussian is separable, so then the complexity of the direct convolution is (K N^2).

Anyway, what are FFT libraries like for iOS? I suppose with Apples policies, you can't compile FFTW for your App?
I own a 2008 15" MBP. I didn't want to upgrade from Snow Leopard - there seemed to be a synergy between SL and my hardware.

Callback hell isn't, but promises do help (to a point)

In 0.12, node will ship with a version of v8 which has generators (hidden under the --harmony flag), which are shallow coroutines, which allow for the same code style as go-routines.

Existing non-blocking libraries will be reusable with generators via e.g. https://github.com/jmar777/suspend or https://github.com/visionmedia/co etc.

Performance could also potentially improve as in V8 closures are much more expensive than generators.
I see very highly rated negative reviews all the time. They even make a point to show you helpful critical reviews.
I've used both extensively.

Foundation uses SASS, is more modular in approach, is much easier to re-skin, and has a better grid system.

Bootstrap uses LESS, has much more mind share, more plugin and theme support, and has better default styling.

Both are great frameworks. I tend to use Bootstrap for prototyping, and Foundation for production.
>We build things, convince people to use them, and fight the status quo

How the status quo would fight the status quo?

Paraphrasing what a wise man once said:

How can a kingdom divided against itself survive?

The people behind all these cool new projects are the same people from the old industries, if thats not the reality in the beginning that soon will change as long its a profitable business.. the status quo may not be in the seed phase, or even in the initial funding, but definetly will be a part of it on the IPO.. and thats how even the cool projects end to serve the status quo..

The only way to really fight the status quo, the establishment is decentralizing profits and power.. otherwise, its always the same story, since the beginning of the civilization

Do you really believe that DRY in coding precludes redundancy in implementation?
Microsoft's business model is selling a licensed OS, something which honestly is getting harder every passing day. Apple's business model is selling compelling hardware at a premium price with their own software preloaded.

Apple could (and now indeed does) give away their software for free and still make a decent living. Their software wont run on any hardware they haven't already made a profit on, so there's no significant "piracy" risk either way.

That said, Windows 8.1 was a free upgrade for everyone already on the Windows 8 bandwagon (and thus in need for some overhauls).
