I recently started moving my existing open source apps to Python 3, now that Django, NumPy and Matplotlib all support it. For new apps I write Python 3 from scratch. Perhaps I'm not getting advantage of all the new stuff, but one app is into serial I/O and I had to rewrite entirely the code dealing with strings, because I read bytes from the serial device.

Debian Jessie will default to Python 3 only I heard. I am starting to only install python3-* packages.
Typically it takes a single request to dump various data via SQL injection. Just saying.
Looks sexy, to be honest. Good looking devices might just help Windows catch up in the mobile race.
I don't think I've been bitten by an add-on item since they've introduced it. A food processor would definitely get you free shipping in two days via Prime, it is small items like a 6oz bottle of lotion that costs $1.99 that you can't get by itself.

As I found your phrasing confusing, and to be clear for others, non-profit board-members also have a fiduciary duty to the stakeholders not to enrich themselves at the expense of the mission.

Thanks for pointing that out. Though, it's a little more complex (and intrusive) than that.

I'm on an H-1B; every year the FBAR needs to be filed detailing how much money there is back home. Regardless of how it was earned, or whether it existed before I started working in the US.
"During the deployment of the new code, however, one of Knight’s technicians did not copy the new code to one of the eight SMARS computer servers. Knight did not have a second technician review this deployment and no one at Knight realized that the Power Peg code had not been removed from the eighth server, nor the new RLP code added. Knight had no written procedures that required such a review."

That is just painful to read. How many times do we hear a company couldn't figure out how to migrate code properly? Do any software engineering programs teach proper code migration?

Next time a manager questions money spent on integration or system testing, hand them a printout of this SEC document and explain how much the problem can cost.

thats okay :)

plus if they make them non-video again i will turn them on!
In addition to what was already there, I'd suggest looking at trying to operate on the whole image at a time rather than pixel-by-pixel. To take a simple blur example, a blur that samples the local pixel at 50%, and each of the top, bottom, left, and right by 12.5% is equivalent to drawing the entire image half darkened, then drawing it in each of one pixel to the left, right, up, and down at 12.5% of the original brightness, merging additively. I don't know if this would be faster or not, you'd have to profile it, but I'd consider it worth a try.
This is a good compliment, thanks! (FYI: i didn't even know about metronic)
Also, a large portion of the reviews are fake.
On #2, it's true that when power is unevenly distributed you can save time by just bypassing getting the other party to buy in. But in the same way that taking shortcuts in your code is thought of as accruing technical debt, I'd argue that doing this accrues "social debt" -- you save time now, but at the cost of storing up potential trouble in the future if the power distribution ever changes. Flatten someone like a steamroller too many times, and the first thing they're going to think of when they actually get some power is how they can use it to screw over that guy who's always screwing them over.

And just like with technical debt, it can be valuable to go back and pay down your social debt from time to time too -- by doing favors for those people you've rolled over in the past, to help reduce the ill will that generated.
The article compares to other first world countries, where I seriously doubt there is a problem with (under-)reporting infant deaths.

I hope that Wikipedia's culture someday acknowledges that money is not the only corrupting influence in a society.

Some of the most egregious examples of biased editing I've seen on Wikipedia were almost certainly not paid for; they were the result of deeply held personal beliefs about politics and religion.

Inaccurate or blatantly false edits of this type are easy to get into Wikipedia articles because politics and religion have thousands of highly biased third party "news" sources, so almost any ridiculous claim can be supported with a citation.
Nice implementation.

One thing I don't understand. Do merchants mind being "price-compared" like this, or not? If so, do they help with content like thumbnails, API for price data, stock availability, etc?

I remember some time ago octopart.com (similar tool) had problems with DigiKey (merchant) because it was merely redirecting to its products.
All correct points. And I myself have interacted with lots of older (pre-J2EE) systems, they tend to be characterized by stability and sanity, however weird. Grok the formats, write adapter code, you can get the job done as long as you don't exceed their duty cycles.

You're right, those going on the record are feeding us crap, although the site is a bit more complicated because it wants to confirm identity to reduce fraud (although a lot of that was punted; this is a separate system done by another contractor using Oracle's identity system; CMMS panicked and proposed to replace it 3 days after launch), it must get FICO scores (from Experian as it turns out) because that's a part of insurance policy pricing, and it and only it (or a subsystem below it) is the only allowed source for all sites' subsidy calculations, which are utterly important for Obamacare to work (otherwise a lot of less wealthy people and families simply won't be able to pay for policies, since there's only one gold-plated type now legal, the old major medical ones are outlawed come Jan. 1).

Except perhaps for getting the FICO scores, all of the above is being observed to frequently fail, as is the interfacing to the insurance companies (which ought to be de novo), they're getting self-evidently bogus data including multiple enrollment and cancellations of the same person.

Who know's who's responsible for the latter, but CMMS is unquestionably responsible for making sure that worked.

"I'm hoping that as a developers everybody can see that."

For far too many, like Mr. Bray, revolutionary truth beats bourgeois truth ... pity that attitude is slamming into the brick wall of reality, that computers do exactly what we tell them to do, not what we want them to do. Which of course is delaying any steps that would get this fixed in time, e.g. the White House and CMMS have been consumed with the launch mess for 3 solid weeks and hope to have a plan come Thursday, vs. e.g. the White House realizing CMMS as the integrator, including integration testing per the AP, and HHS/CMMS as requirements specifier are part of the problem, not part of the solution to any likely fix before things get really ugly.

And as you note, ignoring the lessons of The Mythical Man Month" and throwing more programmers at it, calling it a "tech 'surge'" (an odd call out to Bush competency or a precursor to blaming it all on Bush? :-)
Yup, a few months back amazon uk went from "free shipping for everything" to "Ah, only if you spend £20" (I think? perhaps £25) which is how it used to be way back in the day with their "super saver" delivery.

I'm amazed it actually took Amazon so long after the demise of Play.com to do this. (Play.com were a serious competitor for games/music but had a tax loophole closed on them.)

I still think you should have the blunt conversation with him, but perhaps use that as an opening to "let me help you manage this process" and pick one or two changes to start with. Too much change at once == massive resistance. Small changes may seem like they don't have much impact, can build up over time.

Are you sure about that? The issue isn't that people don't care if infants die, but that infant fatalities occurring quickly after birth can be declared "stillbirths", and that there aren't standards for that distinction.
I get so sick of this. Monopoly economics is based on statistics of a random buyer wanting to buy stuff from a random seller. With NO INTERFERENCE. Statistitions consider 25% chance to be "unlikely", and 75% chance to be "very likely". So a 90% chance of doing business with ONE company is as Statistically close to 100% that it might as well BE 100% for economic purposes.

Once a company hits 75% or so they have no "economic need" to write restrictive exclusive contracts as they basically control the market. Remember, the RULES OF FREE MARKETS assume there are ALWAYS enough buyers and sellers that NEITHER side has a group large enough to independently affect the market prices. As soon as a buyer or seller hits about 25% they aren't following the rules of the "Free Market system" they are Capitalists attempting to REMOVE the RIGHTS of the Free Market system from others using aggregation of capital resources.

Can we stop every new thread on HN with NSA spy stories? The NSA can/has/is spying on you for a long time and it has nothing to do with any US company. Much of the traffic around the world (bound for the US or not) is routed through the USA due to us being such a central player, and these core routers have been tapped for a long time.

It doesn't matter if you are dealing with "US company" or not.
Makes sense Amazon would start a logistics service for other businesses to use. And maybe storage too.

AWS and MechTurk both came from Amazon realising it could commoditise and spin off what it was using internally as separate products. A kind of reverse dogfooding.

Another opportunity for efficient blur would be to rescale the image if the blur radius is above a certain amount. This incurs overhead, so for smaller radii it might be more efficient to just blur the full-size image, but for larger radii you can first reduce the image, blur with a smaller radius, and then upscale the image.

You might need an Arbitrary Hack Constant (oh, sorry, "tuning parameter") to decide when to make that transition.

- inventory is limited? which amazon website are you visiting?

- anecdotal, but in the several years of using amazon, never had a problem with any of the 'non-amazon' sellers. There are ratings for a reason. That's like saying you didn't get what you wanted from one ebay listing so all of ebay is bad

- reviews don't mean nothing..what's your problem with the current reviews. Like anything you read, take it with a grain of salt. Amazon also includes verified reviews, as in, people who actually purchased the product. Search google if amazon isn't enough for you

- based on the rest of your post you ordered what you thought was an arduino from a non-amazon seller off of amazon, found out it was a clone, and was pissed cause you thought the reviews would have made that more clear
Since much of the blog is focused on beergram, I'm going to discuss that rather than YC Startup School.

I love craft beer. I've quick-rated more craft beers in the last couple years on beeradvocate than I should admit (..150+). But even I would have trouble getting psyched about the app. The landing page looks nice but it doesn't really give me a quick idea of how I gift someone a craft beer. In the first 10 seconds I had no idea if I give them a credit to use later or I see them check-in somewhere and I then gift them the beer while they're at the bar.

PG's suggestion to add coffee is interesting but you also have to think about when and why people get coffee. Oftentimes it's in a rush before work rather than your goal of sharing life's moments over a nice craft beer.

Ditto on what the Gowalla folks said, there's just too much friction right now.
Legacy telcos are the epitome of large big institutions where many of the best talents leave. After just a few years of working with them, I couldn't believe they could get a dial tone. How did they produce so much great R&D?

I made an Amazon order yesterday and noticed an add-on item in my cart that I had saved from a previous session, I kept it on the order ("added on" you could say) and now I'll get the nail clippers I had been meaning to purchase as well as what I had originally bought.

"Misreporting" is a strong term. While I'm sure a few countries (e.g. the Communist Paradise of Cuba) do misreport their statistics, many other countries get different answers via reasonable disagreement on definitions.

Consider an 5 month old fetus who completely passed through the vagina, takes one breath and dies. Is that infant mortality or miscarriage? Now make it 6 months old, but he didn't take any breaths. Or 7 months, the head (but not body) passed through the vagina, then he dies. Or 7 months, body but not head passed through vagina. If you want to draw distinctions between miscarriage and infant mortality you need to draw a more or less arbitrary line. Not every nation draws the line in the same place and the statistics are therefore incomparable.

You are right about the effect this has on the statistics. I'm just suggesting that there are far less nefarious reasons than misreporting stats.
...Pardon my ignorance, I've never owned an Apple product, but you can't use multiple monitors effectively on OS X? You're kidding right?
It looks like they're taking a new strategy with this move. Pip isn't actually going to be moved to the standard library to live; rather, a new "ensurepip" command that installs "pip" will be a part of Python proper.

However, a distributable version of pip will be included with each release so that ensurepip does not have to contact the PyPI servers during an install. And with each maintenance release of Python, this pre-included version will be updated to match the then-current pip release.

But, the bottom line is that pip still lives outside of the standard library. Python 3.4+ is just guaranteeing that you have a version installed.
That wasn't my point. Have you ever read the source of the extensions you have installed? No. If everybody has that mentality then nothing gets "checked" and malicious code makes it though.
Not sure why you got downvoted, because you are absolutely right. Fake Amazon reviews is actually a huge PR business.

You'd think the Add-On Items would ship with any Prime-eligible order. For example, I wanted to buy a staple gun for $9.50, which will ship with Prime, but the $3.59 staples are an Add-On Item, so I can't get the staples shipped with the staple gun without adding additional items to my order.
I feel so productive in Typescript. I remember the feeling I got when I realized how powerful the type system in Haskell was, and how useful it was at catching mistakes. Every once in a while I read an article about Haskell and think I should get better at it, then I realize that Typescript is really the best of both worlds. It turns JavaScript into this awesome productive language that can scale to large projects.
My experience of working in very photogenic operations center type rooms is that photographers do not find the actual users as photogenic as the architecture of the room, so for picture days, we would be shoved to one side as they marched in hordes of very young, very attractive, carefully groomed, extremely well dressed professional models, 50:50 male and female and the usual very close attention to marketing-style perfect racial distribution, etc. Believe it or not they also sometimes do this for important clients touring the facility. And this is all very expensive, so they may not want to drop the dough on professional models.

There are things bought on Amazon which leave me wondering how they can possibly be making money on them. I recently bought 4kg of cat litter from Amazon, which was shipped to me next day for free - I may be utterly out of touch with how much they're paying for shipping, but I can't see the purchase price even covering that side, never mind the product itself.

> “This isn’t supposed to happen,” said William H. Janeway, an economist and venture capitalist. “It violates mainstream finance theory. Very few companies have been valued this way outside a systemic bubble.”

Netflix started the year at under $100/share. It's up to nearly $340/share today. Tesla started the year in the $30s. Its high this year was just under $195/share. Pandora entered 2013 at under $10/share. It's above $26/share today.

You can make strong arguments that many tech companies deserve premium valuations. But this market has and is being driven by the Fed so debating fundamentals right now is sort of like talking about a fly on an elephant.
chrystia freeland is a great writer.
One of the major problems with JavaScript has always been that there are too many options. I feel like TS reduces some, but it still lets people choose between a module pattern (AMD, CommonJS), and the traditional everything-in-the-global-scope way of writing programs.

So you're left feeling confused because there is more than one way to write a program. Options are good and all, but in the front-end Javascript community, I think we could deal with fewer of them.

To solve your own problem: I would recommend using CommonJS with Browserify for everything, and only use reference tags for ambient declarations. (.d.ts files). Then you'll always use import and export

Gazelle, Apple, & Amazon: The Future of "Recommerce"
Fair opinion. I believe there are many startups and companies that solve big and important problems, particularly in the Healthcare space. It's not only "around the edges", and lots of healthcare accelerators encourage such startups.

Layoffs are not necessarily a bad thing. Building a world with technology in mind means that the role of humans will shift away from traditional positions to something different. In the long run, this may create more jobs that it makes go away.

Though I can't disagree with you on the mobile phone thing ;)
1. As I mentioned, non-disclosure is very different from compelled speech. Compelled accurate speech is even held to a different standard than compelled lies. I have the legal expertise to tell you they are different. :)

2. This person seems to have missed choice b: "Do not comment". They are not compelled to lie, by the very law you cite. They are only required not to disclose. No court has ever held this to mean "lie when asked", rather than "say nothing when asked". If the government went after someone for not saying anything, that would be ... a tough case.

3. I am happy to admit the distinction between compelled lying and non-disclosure is, for some people, no distinction at all, but the law does make such a distinction.
TypeScript doesn't handle dependencies. The <reference> tag is just for the compiler to know where to find the type definitions you are using in a file. For proper dependency handling you still need to use something like RequireJS.
