That's a _terrible_ pun: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fulling#Scouring
We have (and try to keep improving) an intelligent system that prevents "brigading" by limiting the amount of power from individual sources (such as someones followers) that would otherwise give a huge and unfair advantage. We aim to have the social features as a secondary companion to naturally shared content (only used as tiebreakers, etc). This means that a user with 5000 followers will have little advantage to a user with 5 followers. The same goes for the prevention of too many image/video/gif snaps beating out quality written articles on our front page, which may take a considerably longer time to consume and longer to vote on.

There will always be obstacles and problems when trying to pave a new direction, but that's the best part. It's what keeps us going ;)

I once started a "so, what how do YOU earn a living?" on r/hailcorporate, where people complain about blatant corporate influences. Most of them work in marketing/advertising. Myself included.

It's not so black and white, of course- I do sincerely believe that I'm trying to be a force for good- and that's probably what a lot of politicians genuinely believe, too.

RE: Google, I think it's totally okay to be an advertising machine if you build something like search. As long as search itself is not compromised. In which case we (speaking for the non-techies here) would still have to suck our thumbs until something better came along.

I'd love to be able to expand my wifes iPad, but I think Apple don't offer it (the ability to expand the capacity) for two reasons, the first of which is price - the retail difference between 16Gb and 128Gb is almost pure profit.

The second resaon though, is that it introduces a level of complexity Apple are unlikely to be comfortable with[1]. Users now have to be aware of where stuff is being saved (flash or sd card), and the OS UI needs to be updated to provide this option.

Seriously though, if you're determined to doubt the law of demand applies to the market for labor - as I suspect you are - then Don Boudreaux has some questions for you:

http://cafehayek.com/2013/10/the-science-of-the-minimum-wage...

(I can of course give specific EXAMPLES of people being denied work they would like (and that their employer would like to give them) because their productivity is too low to justify the minimum wage, but I suspect you'd just dismiss that as "anecdotal evidence". Is that what you want to see? Or if not, what would "data that explicitly shows this causation" have to look like for you to find it relevant?)

Oh, and if you decide correlation data might be acceptable, I'd start with this report:

http://www.gao.gov/products/GAO-11-427

(TLDR: in 2007 it was attempted to gradually bring the minimum wage in American Samoa up to the level in the rest of the US. The resulting hit on employment levels was truly impressive and hard to explain any other way than that setting the wage level above the market level destroyed jobs.)
Pitbulls are often trained to be mean. They are supremely athletic and strong, so they are the logical choice for fighting dogs, guard dogs, etc.

I can't say whether or not there is a genetic component to incidents of mauling involving pitbulls, but people are a large part of the problem too.
I'm not a heavy GIMP user but it imports/exports PSD pretty well, right? I was a heavy Photoshop user from 1.x to 3.x and all the basic features are there ;-) Color curves, hue-saturation, feathered selections, 99% of what you need to get shit done is the same as Photoshop. Granted, digital art is not my day job. So I don't know what newfangled tools Photoshop has now. I hate layers in GIMP as much as I hated them in Photoshop, I'm oldschool ;-)

Pretty unhelpful comment.
It's possible to support both options. Alternately, in theory I don't see why the math couldn't be rendered on the server, although I don't think MathJax can currently do this.
Deliberately targeting non-combatants? No. Disregarding their safety? That's probably closer to the truth. But just because you are a non-combatant doesn't mean you aren't supporting combatants. And that's when tough decisions have to be made. It's a horrible choice that must be made.

"given the switch to 64-bit iOS 7 seems to be causing 20-30% higher memory consumption"

I've not read about this. Can you cite a source?
Between this and PhoneBloks, I've seen hardly anything in the comments aside from a circlejerk of tech-savvy people bashing this idea and beating the same issues like a dead horse.

I think that a major part of criticism that PhoneBloks received was largely due in part to the fact that the video lacked any proof of the author's technical expertise regarding mobile devices and their components. As a technical community, we've trained ourselves to sense that, like a shark smells blood in the water.

And it offends us, that someone can receive recognition for this kind of technical idea without having the background knowledge we do. So we repulse it, mock it, and put it down. By riding on the coattails of the PhoneBloks campaign, Motorola has now become a target of this same type of ridicule.

What we fail to see is how damaging this criticism can be. Such fierce, hostile, knee-jerk backlash from the technical community towards PhoneBloks will only serve to dissuade people (tech-savvy or not) to speak up about their ideas, creating a community where only the thoughts of experts are respected at the detriment to creativity.

Yes, this project poses a set of difficult challenges. So did introducing interchangeable parts to the rifle manufacturing process in the 18th-19th centuries. No, we're not entirely sure what we will be able to do once we've accomplished this goal. That didn't stop us from trying to go to the moon in the 1960's. We choose to do these things "not because they are easy, but because they are hard."

So, I say "Good for you, Motorola". You (no doubt infused with that famous Google spirit) decided to take a moonshot. If Motorola succeeds, they'll change the way we purchase and upgrade our phones, and likely reduce a good amount of e-waste in the process. And even if they fail, there's no doubt that new breakthroughs along the way will lead to improvements to their own technologies.

I guess the overall point I'm trying to make is to temper your criticism and give constructive feedback. It's easy to say "This will never work." It's easy to go along with popular opinion. It takes just one person to challenge the status quo for an idea to come to life.
Indeed. A lot of people seem to gloss over the fact that the US trained and funded Bin Laden himself, which was all well and good when he was on "our side".
This is what I'm asking for. Thanks.
Except that there is not war going on between Pakistan and the US. There should be no rationale to attack "military targets" on foreign soil because you have no authority there. Would the US tolerate Pakistan drones hovering above their schools and picking up targets at their will ?
> As for not being at war with Pakistan, would that make a difference to you?

I think you missed coldtea's point. I suspect he pointed that out because he thought it would make a difference to you. e.g., "War sucks. Innocent people die." ... But we're not at war with Pakistan. So what? Drone strikes suck. Innocent people die?
Exposed hypocrisy undermines legitimacy & authority, which in turn leads to a loss of power and influence, which means the beginning of the Post-American world.

This decision is potentially very big. How can Chrome, a browser that has so actively pushed HTML5 forward, reject a component of the spec? I mean IE supports WebGL for crying out loud, I wasn't sure they ever would, but even they're playing ball.

We'll see what happens here, its a pretty vague comment right now. What does "at this time" really mean? Is it just delayed so other things can be focused on? I could understand that. Things like the new input controls should be a bigger priority, they are more important for 99% of all users.

Very interesting, it makes it hard for Chrome to criticize any other implementation.
The currently only comment in the OP seems most likely. All devices get each other's public key, and encrypt messages to each other using it. The keychain itself passes encrypted.
Please read the rest of what Ojan wrote:
"In areas where libraries like MathJax are not good enough, we'd love to hear feedback about what APIs we would need to expose so that MathJax, et al, can create an awesome MathML implementation."

One of our goals is to make it possible to layer technologies as complex as MathML on top of Blink without requiring Blink to ship everything and the kitchen sink. See new technologies like Custom Elements (http://www.w3.org/TR/custom-elements/), which are part of this story.
Cool I guess, as long as sound quality is not degraded.

On the plus side, something like this would probably take a lot of stress off the headphone cables when you accidentally jerk them.

"signed a formal deal affirming India’s right to civilian nuclear energy despite its having flouted the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty by acquiring nuclear weapons."

Find a need and fill it. It won't be an obvious need though. Look at Twitter. Who knew we "needed" that. Most ideas are twists on old ones. EBay was simple online auctions. LinkedIn is a rollodex online. Take something you know and adapt it. Keep evolving it and asking others if they need it. Better yet, ask other people what they wish they had. What would make their job or life easier. For example, I never make time to get up and walk or exercise. What if my computer turned off for 30 minutes every day and I had to walk a treadmill to turn it back on? Is it the next big thing, no but I would like it.
The automatic matching BS is why my resume is chock full of bullshit with a skills matrix. I would rather they look at my overall experience and try to match me to a relevant job.
If they ship an ipad with 2GB, developers will start to use 2GB and then apps will run like crap on older models. Then people will complain about forced obsolescence. (Source: the dozens of comments I've read from people complaining their 512MB iOS device has been rendered useless.)
I am surprised that people are giving theories here about the cause. Because on page for Dell-Steve reported that the cause is a manufacturing process that they now replaced.

CircleCI down for security issues
I just got this email from CircleCI about 10 minutes ago. From what I'm reading, it's the Mongo provider that has the issues, but that's just a first glance.

Here's the email from CircleCI CEO:

==========================================

We are contacting you to inform you of an ongoing security incident affecting CircleCI customers, as a result of the compromise of our database (http://security.mongohq.com/notice).

We are taking aggressive action to protect your data and systems. At this time, we have suspended all CircleCI account access, and all builds & workers have been suspended. In addition we have revoked all access to Heroku and GitHub OAuth tokens and API keys uploaded to CircleCI.

We do not yet know the scope and impact of the intrusion and are therefore treating this event as if all data has been compromised. While we have no evidence that these credentials have been compromised, we urge you to revoke the following:

SSH keys that were uploaded to CircleCI
API tokens added to CircleCI as environment variables
secrets stored in GitHub repositories
We will be keeping you informed at https://status.circleci.com and will update you at regular intervals as the situation progresses.

We deeply regret that this has happened and are working around the clock to resolve this incident and protect your data and systems.

As a Pakistani I can say that our current leadership has no spine.

In addition to that the general population has been led to believe that everyone is out to get them (i.e. The righteous Muslims). You should have seen the stuff said about Malala. Even she was some kind of conspiracy against Muslims.

The TTP is real, no doubt about that (you'll find deniers here too). But the political resolve lacks because of no majority public support of the army operation in Waziristan.

India was saved from the hegemony due to public resolve to fight for it. Here everyone is either too demotivated or on the wrong side of the equation.

I would factor in self-righteousness too (e.g. Mumtaz Qadri). Once that entitlement mindset ends, only then will things become clear to the public.

EDIT: BTW you should check this (http://on.fb.me/17XcV7p) out to see the Malala bashing & the distrust of anyone but themselves.
Both Django and Rails are very inviting. There's also Plenrt of libraries for many languages that can provide a smaller, more specific place to start (it's often easier if you work with it regularly).

With many projects though, some conflate "my patch was rejected" for "they're jerks" without understanding the impact of their fix/suggestions. Feature bloat, backwards compat, API verbosity, etc all add up.
The Chromium guys really don't like to add new features based on user requests.

Here[1] they refuse to add support for SIL Graphite[2], which is essential for making text in certain languages render correctly. (Of course, Firefox already supports it.)

Comment #9 was the same guy ranting against libgraphite2's code quality, but it's been deleted now.

Thankfully, they've since changed their mind on that one. We might still see Graphite support in Chrome.

This is true, but if the market is moving and you are still...its moving further away from you. There has to be a balance there. As an employer, you are trying to reap profit from investing early in the cycle (cheap wages). As an employee, you need to induce re-pricing (either promotion, job offer, or switch-eroo).
I think you literally jumped the gun with your assessment of portableapps platform. :)

Take a look again over the weekend. They are completely FOSS and all their bundling and bundled packages are transparent.

The entire project is voluntary, and it usually takes a day or two from the official release dates, before the volunteers bundle, test, and release the portable application to the general users.
There was a time when a company would hire you if you showed that you were smart, able to solve problems, and had some years of experience working in some other companies. They did NOT expect you to already know the job. Employers were willing to work with employees, to guide them, train them, build them into what was needed.

There's a larger implication, actually. You think it's moral to use force against people who disagree with you. It doesn't matter what the question is, the idea is that you are prepared to initiate the use of force, while libertarians are fundamentally opposed to that.

I just think it's important to take our fellow human beings not as objects to be taxed, but as individuals to be convinced. If you think helping some group of people is a good idea - convince me, don't just steal from me. If you steal, this doesn't make you a single bit more moral.
Nice! Would be great to see an open design become popular.
