The UN is what it is, not what you want it to be.

The individual countries which you expect to stop an asteroid get a free pass for not intervening in genocides, while the UN gets the blame.

And suddenly you're also an expert in asteroid mitigation. Your knowledge is so shallow that the only one impressed is yourself.
Disabling password-only authentication doesn't prevent you from using a password on your key. When you login with key-based authentication you will be prompted for the password for your key, even if password authentication is disabled, because they are two separate & unrelated processes.
You have a contract with the airline. They have to take you to your destination and, in case things go wrong, there are laws that mandate what they must do extra. You will save yourself a lot of grief if you don't expect the airline to do you any favours outside of the contract/laws (e.g. preferential treatment for passengers with dead parents).

That said, I fully support asking for your rights (in court, if needed) and publicly calling them out for bad service -- the latter is the one thing after their profit statement that will get the company interested in improving everyone's experience by going the extra mile.

As a hack, all of these JavaScript emulators are awesome to play with. But in reality if you need performance for something in the past decade, like a N64 or newer arcade emulators, JS is still orders of magnitude slower than dynarec emulators written in C. I hope something like PNaCl will come along to bridge the performance gap.

Racket [http://www.racket-lang.org] is a modern Lisp with STATIC TYPING.

Quote from the static typing example on home page:

Racket's type system is designed to let you add types after you've worked for a while in untyped mode — even if your untyped program wouldn't fit nicely in a conventional type system.

#lang typed/racket

;; Using higher-order occurrence typing

(define-type SrN (U String Number))

(: tog ((Listof SrN) -> String))

(define (tog l)

(apply string-append (filter string? l)))

(tog (list 5 "hello " 1/2 "world" (sqrt -1)))

To run the example, install Racket, start DrRacket, paste the example program into the top area in DrRacket, and click the Run button. Alternatively, save the program to a file and run racket on the file.

Ok, so just pop up a warning in this situation.

My friend, I don't believe you realize just how outside of the norm you are. 300k files is quite a large number of files for even a local file store to choke on.

But there are actually two things that put you outside the norm. First, it is likely only technical users who are going to acquire 300,000 files in their DropBox. Second, technical users are already typically aware of the downsides of storing tens of thousands of small files on a file system and how common it is for even dedicated local servers to choke on them. We all have copied 300,000 small files and have it take f-o-r-e-v-e-r and then copy one file of the same aggregate size of the 300,000 small files and it flies through the copy. Why would DropBox be any different?

I wonder what would happen if this occurred on gmail - you have too many emails so suddenly it stops working without warning

Here's an experiment for you to try. Write a program that sends you 60k byte emails as fast as it can. When you get up to 300,000 emails see how well your Gmail account works.

I think, just like any other syntactic sugar, it's fine if used with proper understanding of possible consequences. I'd like to see lisp use indention instead of parens like Python. I'm sure someone's done it and it isn't popular for some reason or another, but I think getting rid of the parens would go a long way to making people stop hating LISP.
Yes, that would be the other extreme -- just like fish, in the opposite direction.
I'm thinking there's a happy medium. But maybe this isn't such a problem, note I prefaced my comment 'with love'.

I haven't dealt with this directly in a couple of years, so apologies if I get the details wrong or if laws have changed

In order for a US company to hire a Brazilian employee, it has to be through an established company that has a certain legal status inside of Brazil. If you do not have that status, you have to contract through a local company that has that status. Doing so is extremely expensive, and creates a complex set of legal obligations to the employer.

It is almost never worth doing for just 1 or 2 employees, and so US companies that want to establish a presence in South America often do so entirely inside of or entirely outside of Brazil.

For example, Dvorak layout helped me with wrist pains. I didn't lose ability to type on QWERTY after the transition, it's just less convenient to me now. That applies to all non-customized systems - they are are just less convenient, and that's about it.

I don't see any problem with using whatever pleases you (even if those are very obscure tools), if with transition you don't lose ability to use less convenient (but common) tools on occasion. And you usually don't lose that.
> Is it normal for a company branded as the low cost provider to charge above market for rare goods?

At least I would not be surprised if that would be the case... like those red and white "SALE" stickers that some shops have at their windows during the whole year, while being actually more expensive than other shops.
I live in Ireland with my wife who happens to be British (I'm Irish) she and noticed that on occasion when she took a taxi, upon hearing her accent, cab drivers would take her the "scenic route", i.e. the long way around to her destination thinking she was from out of town.

So I thought it would be useful to have an app that calculates your fare in realtime based based on the local taxi tariffs and plots your route for you as you go. It would serve to remove the ambiguity of whether or not you were being charged the right fare and show whether or not you were being taking the most direct route.

I've got a few tokens for anyone that wants to try it out:

Thank you, this is really good strategy, I had similar reservations about fish and I think this both makes sense and resolves them.

> It's a hard question.

The minute you start considering public safety, is the minute it stops being a hard question. In my jurisdiction (Ontario), cops will not to get into high-speed chases if there's a reasonable chance of injury to assailants or civilians. My cop friend told me they won't even attempt to chase after motorcyclist because the risk to him is just too great. It is a judgement call, and chases still happen, but you always consider public safety first before you engage in a reckless chase.

>The officers likely believe that serving and protecting requires them to always chase.

You know, I used to watch American police car chase shows, where they would show video of police chases. Most of those ended in a car crash, and significant of those ended with the assailant ramming into some civilian car. Great police work guys. You got some two-bit criminal but you killed or engendered an innocent bystander.

I think if you look past a typical "always-get-your-man" cowboy mentality you'd find it's just not worth it in the grand scheme of things.
Hmm? This is basic practice, and if it's in the contract, what's so bad?

They /agreed/ to these terms in advance as far as I'm aware, who are you to tell the other employees(who didn't complain) that their contract should've been avoided?
Depends on what you mean by "non-speculative" & "substantial". All trading is "speculative" in some sense, but yes you can still make a tidy living in the algorithmic trading space.
KIDPIX!
The argument that "fish is not customizable" is not true. Fish is customizable, but at the same time it hides unnecessary complexity from the user. For e.g. You can customize colors in fish, but you can't customize size of the history file (How many people do it ?). fish comes with sane defaults and most of the times you won't need to change any configurations unless you have very specific requirements.
+1 here. There is also a pressure to get things done when I don't feel like getting things done - as in I don't have the inspirations to write that piece of code / that code is so ugly and hard to write.

Then a day or two later I would come up with a better solution and boom, milestone achieved.

That's insane to me. While people were using Win95 in 1996, full color, 3D games (Duke Nukem 3D), etc Macs were still in the dark ages with 7.5 and 8.

This was around the time I was in college. I went to a big ugly state school and a close friend went to a fancy private school. In my school, we only had PCs available for general student use. At his school, it was Mac-only with everyone got their own Mac in their dorms. It felt like we were back in the 80s with the tiny screens and the antiquated OS. A newer version of the same OS I used in elementary school when my parents bought a Mac 512k.

The labs at that school did have the newer color macs, which were nice, but were a minority there.

Incredible how long apple put off the move to a new platform. I guess 1999 wasn't too far off, but for a long while, owning a mac seemed like a step backward.
This is going to be hard to test, as I don't have the hardware, but I'll look it up. Thanks!
I tried fish for a while but found it jarring switching between it and bash when working on remote machines where fish is not installed. I was also surprised when I first started using fish that it can't synchronize history between shell instances, which is a killer feature for me. So after about a month with fish I've switched to zsh.

I have used fish for a few months and I really liked it. I switched back to bash eventually because of a simple fact that esc-. didn't work in fish (which I use really often). If fish provides it, I will go back to fish.

What's wrong with you ? You have a problem with my comments? Care to come back with arguments instead of shallow "i don't like what you say" void comments?

Of course the UN gets the blame for not intervening in genocides, since the UN was created to avoid conflicts. That's their mission and they have been incapable of showing any authority to prevent or mitigate wars where they occur.

And I never claimed to be an expert in asteroid mitigation, but mind you, I read a lot and I have seen a lot on this subject. Why do you assume I am ignorant? Do I have to show my credentials every time I post something?
All the major exchanges offer co-location services, where you can put your trading engine (i.e. the "black box" that executed your trading strategies) in the same building as the exchange's trade matching engines. That means that you'll receive market data quicker and the exchange will receive your orders (or cancellations) quicker than someone who's located a few hundred miles away.

For more info, see:
NYSE - http://nysetechnologies.nyx.com/en/infrastructure-solutions/...

London Stock Exchange - http://www.londonstockexchange.com/products-and-services/con...

Eurex - http://www.eurexchange.com/exchange-en/technology/co-locatio...

CME - http://www.cmegroup.com/globex/trading-cme-group-products/co...

Such co-location obviously works when you're talking about a single market but if you're looking to execute trading strategies across multiple markets, then you're going to be in the market for low-latency network connectivity between London and New York - http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/news/8753784/The-300m-... - or NYC and Chicago - http://gigaom.com/2012/02/10/wall-street-gains-an-edge-by-tr...

However, it doesn't really matter whether you shave 10ms off your network latency if your software is sluggish, so a lot of effort goes into optimising code and creating execution environments that minimise latency caused by abstraction layers. Companies use real-time operating systems and TCP/IP stacks that are implemented on hardware. They're now starting to use FPGAs and I'd be surprised if someone hasn't already splashed out on an ASIC.

Well, in 2002 the prices were not even remotely close to the peak, and they were lower than anything we've seen post crash to this point. I guess you could try to argue that we are still in a bubble, but I don't think most would agree. Now, suggesting things needed a correction in 2002 might have been reasonable, but it was bubble like yet.

This is a very strong statement. It means you wouldn't want to work for any of the software or hardware firms that supply them. Eliminate Microsoft, IBM, Oracle, and most networking and big data providers from your list. Eliminate all financial services firms who make either commissions on the other sides of the trades with them, or get better bid-offer spreads as a result.

They're not saints, but it's very hard to remove oneself from where they have impact.
Congrats! And thanks for posting this. Definitely an inspiration for people looking to start a company in India. One of the things you mentioned is that Hyderabad is a growing place for startups. What are other pieces of advice you would give to people starting a company in India? Do you have blogs/forums that I can follow to catch up on the startup news happening in India? Thanks in advance.

And also wish you best of luck for the next year!

I like the idea, though it makes the life of the identity thief a b it easier.

A few thoughts on how to standardize the content;

It seems more logical to just send your date of birth as a ISO8601 string or a UTC unix timestamp, instead of all the fluff. (i would prefer the ISO8601)

Lat/Lng is an exact point, and i figure you removed a few digits to avoid showing your exact location. A geohash would be better suited to indicate a geographical area of users precision choice. Also more compact.

You are missing country - not everyone live in the US, or even in a city, a common geo indication seems more suited (again, a geohash).

All values should be describes with a standard name, not just the english name.
so english: "en", german: "de", etc. Also, more compact.
fish does this too when you press up arrow key.
"But every time I see some innocuous tweet spawn another long, bile-filled thread of awfulness, I become less interested in tweeting."

He's giving us the answer we all want to hear; what we appeal to. Reality of course is the opposite, and manufactured drama attracts a lot better than education, for example.

The article's argument is something like if people wanted to learn something they'd go to wikipedia or stack exchange, but they don't, they want to read (manufactured) drama. So twitter makes money off them. It would be a much harder sell for twitter to move into SE or wikipedia's turf, so they don't and shouldn't if they want to make money.

If the US Civil War doesn't qualify as a political revolution, then I would argue nothing possibly could.

It started as a political argument in fact. It was about how to govern, and what rights the states possessed as part of the United States. Every aspect of the Civil War and its outcomes were political in nature.

It was absolutely a political revolution first and foremost. The war settled the political dispute.

Quackery isn't quite as bad as radioactive toothpaste or heroin syrup to calm the baby, but it's still pretty bad.

People with HIV are told to stop taking "poisonous" ARV meds, and to drink a concoction of lemon juice, garlic, ginger, etc. This isn't some obscure quack either, it's the president of a country, and the health minister of that country. When the deputy health minister spoke out she was sacked. (http://www.irinnews.org/report/73679/south-africa-deputy-hea...)

Matthias Rath is, in my opinion, the embodiment of evil. His scams have killed very many people. (http://www.irinnews.org/report/83497/south-africa-final-chap...)

People talk about the evils of big pharma, and that they're only in it for the money. Pharma does have many problems, but the solution isn't to go to the greedy quacks selling vitamins as a cure for all cancer or a cure for AIDs/HIV. And Rath made a lot of money from selling vitamins.

Here's another snake oil "cure" for HIV/AIDS. (http://www.irinnews.org/report/94679/africa-snake-oil-salesm...)

There are many examples from the developed world too. I link to the African stories because the statistics were just so mind-boggling when HIV/AIDS was at its worst.

I wonder how effective relying on the listed "spouse or relationship partner" on Facebook is.

Forcing simplicity during design seems like a great way to avoid the complexity that takes over many larger projects. Too bad this couldn't be done nationally.
