Well, you're suggesting they are actively engaging in blackmail and political manipulation to retain their position. Even if they do have the information to blackmail in many cases, it does not mean they actually are.

Perhaps I'm just naive, but I like to think at their core they're not so immoral as to degrade themselves to that sort of behavior.

Yes, as long as "fit in the school" do not include any race or gender requirements.

That's one understanding of equality. Another includes positive action, etc, but one may argue that by giving more chance to women, black people, etc, at one step in their lives, is not helping them in fact, because this "positive action" makes them weaker for the next steps, which will be harder.

I think I remember a book or a movie, where a very good village teacher was helping farmer kids climb the ladder He did so partly awakening their minds to the things of culture, but also most importantly being doubly harsh on them. That's because he knew he was in the best position to teach them to live under harsh conditions, to defend themselves, to overcome difficulties, etc. This guy was really giving farmer kids a fair chance to climb the ladder, and the way is not to just let them in and be kind with them.

I think someone would want to help female student in IT should do the same, teach them to overcome half-sexist jokes, to live in a male-oriented environment without losing their feminity, and to be geeker than geeks.
It's possible your app got rejected entirely because you didn't provide a launch image (formerly known as Default.png).

I'd echo the concern that the status bar should be visible in your app.

Another polish item: rows in the detail view controller get a selection highlight when you tap them, but don't do anything.

Apple also looks to see if there's a way to provide user feedback within the app, so you might want to add something for that.
I think the outrage isn't that we (Americans) did it. The pros know we spy on everything we can, all the time. But the outrage is that now there are newspapers all over the world telling John Q. Public (Johan Q. Public?) what happened. That puts pressure on Merkel from her own citizens. So the Americans will take their public lumps, apologize, and everyone will get back to business.

That is not a bad response from his position. From say a game theoretic point of view.

Imagine is he is not the president but say a mafia boss, maybe a powerful drug lord. And it turns out one of the drug mules for a competing drug gangs gets murdered by Obama's men. Now, war is about to start. And all the drug lords have a meeting. Obama can claim he didn't personally order the murder and he didn't know it was about to happen. He has men working for him who receive general instruction like "keep the product flowing no matter what cost" with specifically no concrete instruction (especially in written form). Now that protects him. If worse comes to worse, he can simply replace a scapegoat low level employee and keep the organization going forward. The same modus operandi is probably at play with regard to a lot of this stuff from the White House.
Why not just taper down to the minimum dose where you still get sufficient antidepressant effects? Especially since psychoactive drugs are typically prescribed at levels way beyond what is actually necessary.

Most killings in war haven't involved looking a man in the eyes and shooting him for a very long time. At least as recently as WWI, most deaths (excluding disease) were caused by artillery shells fired by someone who would usually never see his victim at all. That's even more impersonal than killing someone with a drone.

While I have reservations about this particular instantiation, discussion does seem to notions, at least vaguely (superficially?), to ideas that do have merit and are being successfully implemented in some US medical schools... (Emphasis on vague/superficial)... At the risk of enlarging the conversation beyond its intended scope, I'm thinking along lines of pedagogy that address some of these ideas:

As a two time Obama voter and lifetime Democrat, I wish I could agree. However, I just don't share the optimism.

There have been many opportunities for him to break through that bubble - it's not like there has complete silence on the issue. And what kind of President oversees constitutional breaches of this magnitude and then manages to overlook the entire issue? It's too big, too serious and too illegal for him to be some sort of innocent participant.

The relentless pursuit of whistleblowers, his unwillingness to address the NSA/4th amendment/etc debate on its merits, lack of movement on key policy fronts (anti-drug policy, DHS, serious financial system reform) - all of it indicates to me that while he is not a Muslim Communist Terrorist Baby Killer, he also does not espouse any of the left of center beliefs he held as a younger politician, and for someone who voted him in to see symbolic leadership and practical progress on all these issues, he has been a huge disappointment.

I personally will be campaigning heavily for independent candidates at most levels of government in the future. I will certainly never vote Democrat again. For someone who campaigns, votes, and participates in all areas of civic life, these last few years have left me very disillusioned.
I'm getting really tired of this "go do something else" argument/excuse. Doing something constructive yourself is not always a solution for someone else doing something destructive. It's like the tu quoque fallacy, only good for getting someone to shut up, proving nothing. Heaven forbid we should try to prevent something bad from happening.
Why no, my god, food is food, and our stomacks are very used to a few meals a day, and even arguably some fasting times to times.

Not to say our stomacks would not get used to this constant stream sh*t, but it could very well be extremely harmful as well, and I'd not experiment it on me even for billions.

Also, from where I live (China) and where I come from (France), when we see the obesity catastrophe in the US we can't help thinking the "let's eat things all the time" thing it a major culprit. See, we, normal people, we do not need to open the refrigetor's door and eat something when going back home, when waking up in the night, during the ads when watching movie, when walking from one room to the other, etc. We just eat three meals a day as did our parents and GP and that's it.

I threw together a quick team type effectiveness page a while back:

http://cssdeck.com/labs/full/typechart

It's not very pretty, and a bit more complex, but it has auto complete.

I haven't added the X/Y pokemon yet, but I'll do that soon. Also, it appears the type chart has changed so the calculations need to be updated too, so I'll have to fork it instead.

If anyone has a easy to parse list of the new pokemon types, I can update it easily. Bulbapedia's terse list format isn't updated yet.

I made an app called "Foto Lock" which allows a user to choose a photo from their camera roll and disabled the ability to swipe to the next photo -- which would prevent those awkward moments of someone seeing a taboo photo.

Apple rejected it under the guidelines it provided no value or was too simple. I don't have the exact verbiage, but I can get it when I'm back at home.

They suggested I add more features... Yes my app was simple, but it solved the exact problem many people have.

Here's a video of it: http://www.fotolockapp.com/
This is a very keen observation, I feel like mobile devices have helped a ton with breaking the chokehold that Gates and Ballmer have had on the industry.
Yeah maybe in general but what about a comparison for heavy IO applications? core.async vs node's system?

I like this article as a thought experiment, but I think in practicality, it would probably be miserable to fly to-and-fro 4 days a week.

The main cost that was ommitted that would give us an idea whether the commute is worth it is the opportunity cost (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opportunity_cost). While it'd be difficult to estimate how much the author's time is worth, if we assume that he/she gets paid an hourly wage of W, and it takes H hours to commute to and from London, then the opportunity cost would be something like W x H. If that opportunity cost is greater than the 387€ in savings, then it would not be cheaper to commute from an economist's perspective.

quick reply to feedback, that's what we appreciate, thank you for this!

Just my 2 cents:

* Why can't I use "," in my project name? My book is titled "Je sais ce que je fais, du moins je pense" but I had to replace the , by a .

* Fiction? My book is not really a fiction book, more of an autobiography.

* Edit to add/create files? I know you want to make it like git/svn but this is counter-intuitive (or maybe I missed something here?)

also. I might not be the best writer, but this is how I work : I have one folder for each big "chapters" that has several chapter_x.txt. And each chapter has a chapter_x_notes.txt with notes about the chapter I'm writing.

I wrote a small javascript/php client that reads my txt and display them like Emacs/Sublime Text 2 buffers and display my work on the left and the appropriate notes on the right. Because I really think that it's important to have a guideline at all moment when you're writing something.

For example :

+ china

- chapter 1 - first steps.txt

- chapter 1 - notes.txt

- chapter 2 - first meal.txt

- chapter 2 - notes.txt

+ france

- chapter 3 - paris.txt

- chapter 3 - notes.txt

etc...

* my connection crashed during a save, when I got my connection back the save wouldn't finish. I guess there is a timeout but then it should cancel the save and let me continue it when the connection comes back. I hope I make sense.

* for something as important as a book, I'm really scared doing that on an external website. I normally write on ST3 locally + dropbox for backup. I know I can download the thing on .epub,.pdf,.html etc... but I want to be able to download it in a way I can import it back to your application in case something goes wrong or I want to clone the project.

* I can't delete a file I'm currently editing

* When a filename is too long the bin icon when you hover it in the list of files on the left is overlaping with the name

* in my resolution, which is quite small, it doesn't scale very well, especially when I display the file tree on the left.

* Really need folders on this file tree.

* When editing a project, the only way to go back to its index page is to click on its name in the file tree. Not very clear. A breadcrumbs system would be nicer to tell you at least what project you're editing.

* Also I know this might be too much and too much of a fancy feature, but importing a folder (like the example three I gave you) would be very nice. I have to copy/paste all my .txt now
Try building up from ubuntu minimal instead. I've had a lot of luck going that route with older hardware. It does require access to a wired connection though.
I had a similar experience with my cousin, except with Chrome OS. His laptop died and he asked to borrow any extra laptops I had around, and the only one I happened to have was a Chrome OS machine. I was worried he'd need a more desktop-like environment, but it turned out he loved it -- everything we do is on the web these days and there wasn't really anything that he was missing. He moved from Excel to Google Spreadsheets without much trouble and didn't really need anything else. Just a browser. Amazing where the web is going.
This is rather typical, because when you prepare a paper you don't yet know the publication date, so your submitted/final version can't include any date, but the published version tends to be behind a paywall.

It seems naive not to believe that other countries' intelligence services do the same, or would do so if they had the technology.

This doesn't make it right.

The reason I feel that we're justified in using the "but-everybody-else-does-it" argument to dismiss it from our concern at the moment, is that it attempts to redirect the public outrage from a major problem (NSA spying on basically everyone) to a much more minor problem (NSA spying on head of a foreign state).

Imagine the (hypothetical) case where a particular state's police force is taking fire due to the police breaking up a properly permitted, legal, peaceful rally using excessive force.

It later comes out that the police officers of the department in question regularly disobey the speed limit and sometimes run stop signs.

To be sure, police officers speeding is not something they should be doing; it's wrong and unethical to do that.

But police officers speeding is a much less serious problem than police officers depriving the people of their right to peacefully assemble and petition their government for redress of grievances.

And if the media and the audience's focus immediately goes from the more important story (unlawfully breaking up peaceful rallies and excessive use of force) to the less important story (police officers sometimes exceed the speed limit when they're not supposed to), it's bad because it means the serious problem is no longer getting the attention it deserves.
And was soon thereafter arrested on state charges (the first charges were federal) which he is currently fighting. One bright spot: Goldman was just ordered to pay legal fees for his first trial, as their by-laws say they are required to pay legal costs for officers charged for acts taken as part of their employment, and he was a vice-president.
In my experience, printer compatibility is worse in Windows 8 than in Linux. I've seen lots of common budget laser printers stop being supported in Vista, 7, and 8.

Linux has plenty of compatibility problems (scanners are especially bad, imho), but printing is not typically one of them.
Well, hassle Brother to release some Free printer drivers. They are one of the last major holdouts.
Definitely feel sorry for the Buffer team. They're great guys and built a great service—getting social media security right is hard.

This is an area where your instincts may say X, but modern First Amendment jurisprudence says !X. The 1A protects expression from state action and comes close, in modern jurisprudence, to prohibiting prior restraint including an order to kill or suspend a FB account.

It's clear that some degree of state action pressure on intermediaries (publishers, FB, web sites) is illegal and unconstitutional; I was responding to your point that I read as arguing the contrary in all cases. Whether a particular state action crosses the 1A line is a fact-dependent analysis -- some of the examples in this rather vague article strike me as falling on the wrong side of that line. Also note that some state constitutions, including California's, have free speech protections that go beyond the federal 1A.
I recently bought a new laptop and dual boot Windows 8 and Ubuntu 13.04. It took me 3 hours to get all the drivers working in Windows whilst the only issue I had with Ubuntu was the fact my video card drivers (ofcourse, Nvidia) were going to be proprietary.

Well, it depends how they do it, right? If they just block DNS, yeah, people who care can simply tunnel out. It still hurts, as the average non-caring citizen's knowledge is stunted. But not as badly.

If they block IPs, and closely monitor outgoing tunnels? Then it's a lot harder to get out.

I suspect you're right, they'll probably just block DNS and the worst IPs. It's easier, and DNS gets the 99%. Even The Great Firewall only blocks the 'worst' IPs (like Twitter).
It depends upon what the meaning of the word 'is' is.

I dunno. I can think of two interpretations of this one phrase "protect against international terrorism or clandestine intelligence activities".
What bothers me the most about this article, the charity work, the pink ribbons.

We have no idea what causes cancers, particularly breast cancer, in those who are young. We know some people carry risk factors (BRCA1 and BRCA2, certain subvariations of each) in their genes, and yet not all cases of people with the genes will get cancer, and not all people who get cancer young have any gene (in fact, most don't).

We also don't know why some cancers metastasized and some don't. Most women who get breast cancer at her age (39-40) survive.

I say this as someone who is extremely high risk (high enough that I have not hit thirty and I'm hunting for a new breast specialist who can get me MRIs instead of mammograms). I'd like to be able to know what to cut out to decrease my risk, beyond generic eat right and exercise (and I do eat right and exercise). I'm a tad angry that information is not available to me (I've looked). Because on a personal level, I'd like to stop seeing younger cancer cases.
Soboxone targets opioid receptors differently than heroin and, while it is technically a "replacement therapy" it is almost impossible to overdose on and more difficult to use on a continual basis for recreational purposes (the "positive" effects of the drug decay rapidly with continual use. To answer the question, one does experience withdrawal effects if they use Buprenorphine for a long enough time, however some professionals in the Recovery Industry (tm) use it to do a "fast taper" which is a more aggressive treatment over a short period of time in which the patient only takes Buprenorphine for a week or so to reduce the pain of heroin withdrawal (but not completely eliminate it) and then taper the dose of suboxone quickly before the patient has time to grow dependent. Yesterday's discussion of Wikipedia's accuracy notwithstanding, the link below actually does give some useful jumping off points.

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buprenorphine

In short, users can get "strung out" on suboxone but if used in certain ways (I.e not for the long term "maintenance" that the pharma companies make their money on, but as a short therapy to quiet some of the discomfort experienced during opiate withdrawal, it can be effective and safe and not lead to long term use.

Only take bupenorpine if you are really addicted to heroine.
Doctors who prescribe for opiate addiction are allowed
only 100 patients. They(Doctors) will drag you in for
needless expensive visits. I say only if you are really
addicted to opiates, because I see people switching to
this drug because they "think" they are addicted.

The drug is not something you want to get addicted too.

If you do end up on this drug, try to find a doctor who's
not trying to make money off your misery. Might be hard?

There's two forms of bupenorpine. One has a opiate blocker
(nalaxone) in it--It is expensive. Try to get your doctor
to prescribe generic bupenorpine. Once you get bupenorpine
in your brain, your craving for opiates will diminish. If
it dosen't you need to do the whole 12 step dance.

The high of bupenorpine wears off after a few months, so it's no panacea. Remember, you will be addicted to another
drug, but at least it's legal. Try to take the smallest
dose possible. The slight euphoria wears off! People
don't understand that? After a few months you will be
addicted to another drug. Your Doctor will become your
drug dealer. The fun wears off real quick. I have no
reason to lie. And yes--I'm just one person. You're
not reading the results of a well done double blind study.

There's a lot of misinformation about this drug--even among
the MD's who needed to take a special class in order to
prescribe it.

Again, don't start it unless you've bathed your brain
in opiates for a long time. A while is not a few months.
Even if your hooked to the gills on smack, the media makes
detox so dramatic. I've seen people scared to death, thinking they will die from withdrawal. Dying s very rare,
unless you have the health of Jerry Garcia.(huge addiction,
obese, and diabetic, etc). If you are realitively healthy
you can taper off. This goes for Alcoholics too. You
don't necessarily need to spend your last 40 grand on
high priced Promices. Taper, Taper, Taper. Ten percent
a day. Doctors won't tell you this because of the small
chance you die--liability.

Again, don't start this drug if you can. They don't know
the long term effects. If you are one of the unfortunate
ones, and use bupenorpine, make the best of the situation.
I have heard of peope getting off it, but they taper their
dose, and have a fair amount if decipline. If you are
trying to get off bupenorpine, stay off the drug recovery
websites; everyone exaggerates, and the stories will just
scare you.

My honest, blood written advise is Never take opiates. Especially, if you even think you have a slightly addictive
personality, or biology? Don't take that free Percocet
offered by you friends. I honestly feel long term
opiate use, or buprenorpine use damages the pleasure centers
of your brain.

Good Luck--and please save any lectures. This is just my
opinion.
