> exact same functionality

You've got a strange definition of "exact same functionality" when it means making the phone effectively double the size & weight for half of its operational time.
It can work..but rarely does it work well unless you have a really good manager and a really good team. Even then, there are tons of mis-communications along the way. I have experienced this working on remote teams.
I think you nailed it. Employers today have been taught by database/algorithm-drive search that they can get the perfect candidate if they just keep polling the database. In many, if not most, cases, I think they're far better off hiring a smart person who can ride a fast learning curve without falling off. They also get the high motivation that comes with a new hire who is pumped to be doing/learning something new. But, how many managers are really good at picking out people who can learn quickly and come up to speed?

"Liberal arts degrees for everyone!" strikes me about the same as "Engineering degrees for everyone!".
So far this war automation is the reason I believe governments will finally stop unlimited population growth.

A huge standing army will no longer be necessary. In fact, this is already slowly happening.
Google+ wants to be the new Yammer?
Which also means that tech entrepreneurship is supposedly under sabotage, though some would call it a spell. It's the MITM thing that I don't like. It's like the age of shovel sellers to gold diggers for the Internet?

Something that is both good and bad depending on which side of application process you are.
Samsung as pretty much lost me as a customer at this point..

I have used nothing by samsung smart phones, the last phone I had that was a non-samsung was the Moto Razr Original Flip phone.

I currently run a Note II, will never buy another directly as a Result of their lack of updates for the device. Stilling have 4.1 as the official rom is ridiculous
The problem with WISP deployments is without exclusive use of spectrum (which you have to win at auction from the FCC vs Verizon/at&t/etc) you can't do LTE-type deployments where you can count on a low noise etc.
Beyond that, keep in mind that LTE 30-50Mbps is dependent on the spectrum set on a sector. If everyone ditched the local MSO & Telco for LTE it would get so overloaded that everyone would be saying it sucks and switching back to the MSO.

Generally speaking you are left to deal with licensed microwave in the ~$10k per link for ~260Mbps or unlicensed microwave in 2.4/5.8Ghz where you have to deal with noise from every WiFi router and other random junk. Depending on how many other devices are out there you get less than 1 Mbps to 200 Mbps depending on spectrum availability.

The technology for WISP deployments is fairly mature, to the point that if you are using straight-up WiFi you are doing it wrong.

If you want to learn more, the current market leaders in the US for unlicensed microwave are Cambium (former Motorola)'s PMP series and Ubiquiti's AirMax series. Check them out.

Anyway, there just isn't enough spectrum available to do a robust city-wide WISP network with significant uptake.
Foursquare? https://developer.foursquare.com/docs/venues/search
Power is so entrenched in the US that it's unlikely anyone will make significant changes from political office any time soon, but we can already see distributed power structures springing up in local neighborhoods that are underserved by their government. Detroit is a good example right now. People don't expect any help from the government, so they take care of things on their own and utilize community space to do it. When things get bad, people really have no choice but to be more self-sufficient and community's oriented.
Rubyforge.org hacked?

Thanks for the feedback!

>> A better approach would be to have the client pull a list of revoked certs along with the JS source/hash.

That's not much better, as the client will have to pull a list from somewhere, and that somewhere could have been compromised to serve a bad list. At least with a window you always need an absolute majority. I'm not liking any of these solutions, so you make a good case for packaging an extension with all of the client code!

>> It's enough for me because I don't use any browser extensions. Maybe it's a showstopper for you because you use other chrome extensions that you don't trust. Here's an idea -- we could offer the client as a standalone application with embedded Chrome. Then you can have your untrusted browser for all your normal browsing purposes, and a separate Scramble app.

I have no idea what you mean about a bookmarklet bypassing the cryptosystem. Are you suggesting that a user clicking on a malicious bookmarklet can thwart security? The user can always thwart his own security.
Mobile is eating the world, autumn 2013 edition
Sure, but lack of hustle/perseverance is probably the biggest factor past the trivially solvable problems.
Article/media is a bit sensationalistic in describing this as an early computer. The programming language (a list of letters) doesn't support arbitrary logic, branching and doesn't have a notion of memory. In that way, it's like an intricate player piano or HTML. Still a marvel of mechanical engineering but conceptually far from what we consider a computer today.
Etymonline says it may have been the slang meaning of the time, which was "penis". Figures.

When the message is basically "the government is collecting your emails" I am skeptical that the public would get that much more mad at a technical distinction like this. If there has not been an actionable backlash yet, what really could cause it? I am thinking that the leaks need to be something along the lines of "Kate Johnson of Columbus Ohio (made up name) had her explicit text message viewed by her ex husband, an NSA analyst, on N occasions." We have not had a leak that hits home yet for everyday people (non-tech non-world-leader).
I cannot believe this is free! The website puts this right too: "Free download. Seriously."

Only thing I cannot figure from their website is how to upload pictures and albums in bulk. Does someone know if this is possible?

To answer my own question: 'The word doodle first appeared in the early 17th century to mean a fool or simpleton. It may derive from the German Dudeltopf or Dudeldop, meaning simpleton or noodle (literally "nightcap").' [1]

Not sure why the author of this article couldn't be bothered to complete the etymology he started.

That made me laugh so hard. Sounds like a borderline HR issue. :-)
I'm pretty sure that's what the hearings are going to focus on. They may also throw in a little 'anyone can anonymously fund terrorists!' considering the sessions were called by the Committee on Homeland Security.
Tesla Considers Building The World's Biggest Lithium-Ion Battery Factory
I paid severe penalties for memory corruption bugs writing C code in the 80's - penalties in the form of vast time spent debugging in a non-memory protected environment, where a crash could and often would scramble your hard disk.

As a result, I developed a lot of defensive habits to ward off these types of problems, such that I don't make those mistakes very often anymore. But once in a while, I still get weird errors, and the first thing I try is running it under valgrind.

Bing, bang, problem found, fixed. I may be not too far off the mark in saying that valgrind may have saved C and C++.

That NYC makes my "common-sense" rule so hard to implement supports my larger point: you can't just make an exasperated appeal to "common-sense", because people (and existing legal regimes) differ so much on what's sensible/fair. (My "common-sense" solution to the unfairness of tenants subletting for more than the controlled rate would be to phase out rent-control, and do so immediately if there's evidence of tenant-subletting at a higher-rate.)

The lawsuit is also what the regulated system relies upon, in the end, to enforce its judgements. It's a last resort, but always part of the balance when other discussion and leverage fails.

Why would an AirBnb tenant be more likely to burn down a building, or less likely to compensate after negligence, than any other leaseholder-tenant or houseguest? I suspect AirBnb tenants are less of a risk: they're paying a market rate, unprotected by laws which shield problematic tenants, vetted by the reputation system, and backed by AirBnb's guarantees. A landlord and neighbors seem equally (or more) at risk of uncompensated damages from all other kinds of occupants.

All client code is essentially equally sensitive. I'm not sure why you're making a distinction at all.
So does my pharmacy, interestingly enough.
I would argue that Groovy and Clojure require just as much conversion (I have no idea about Kotlin). Scala and Clojure both require conversion if you want to use idiomatic data structures. I think Groovy is actually worse about this because you get secret implicit conversion to add meta classes and null objects. I've run in to a bunch of difficult to track down bugs where Groovy has forgotten to do these conversions.
One rdtsc does not make a flock :P

But I don't have any problem with Dart as an experiment in language design. I don't even really have any problem with Angular.dart.

We can always use another language that transpiles down to javascript. People are free to use what they want. (Unfortunately, my understanding is the dart2js process is horrifically inefficient, but that's no skin off my nose.)

I will, however, drive home the point that Dart cannot out-compete CoffeeScript or TypeScript; Dart will not replace javascript and will not be the native language of the web.

There's nothing to distinguish it from any other language, and it has to deal with backlash like this.

That's where I found the CoffeeScript one. Spot on.
This is a bunch of pretentious hock. The linguistic turn has nothing to do with this. In fact, I hate how you bring up an external source and quote extensively from it as if it proves anything. Okay, armchair liberal arts student, here's the smack:

When you purport to be writing a factual account, there are certain standards that you can be held accountable to.

Take, for instance, "A Million Little Pieces". It was a memoir written by James Frey in 2003 that absolutely imploded when people found out that he made up large chunks of the material (wikipedia now lists it as "semi-fictional"). There's a difference between the two categories, and the difference is in exactly the type of anecdotal evidence that you don't think is important.

Edited to add:
I agree that maybe the overall narrative of the book--the feeling and reportage of Amazon's culture--may still be accurate. I'd like to see more examples of inaccuracies before drawing any conclusions. It's also important to bear in mind just how much of a vested interest MacKenzie Bezos has in debunking this, because presumably the book makes Jeff Bezos and Amazon look bad (haven't read it yet though).

Likewise an Apple executive could be charged and convicted of insider trading.
Because it is a Google project, and other browser vendors (those mentioned in Eich's next sentence) don't want to include something from a competitor into their own browser. It'd be about like Ford proposing that GM and Dodge install Ford's GPS unit (hopefully you can relate to major US automakers).

He might have spoken too soon though (or I missed the point), as there are projects out now that I think could very well make a decent runtime for Dart. Using tech such as asm.js[1] -- which Firefox now includes natively (drawing a parallel to Google's Dart) -- along with new versions of JS, and modern JS browser optimizations....it can make for a very efficient script.

As efficient as Dart with the VM? Probably not, but I'm not sure just how much of the market you're going to corner by such an advantage. Any JS outside of a browser will undoubtedly run on NodeJS, which is going to be more efficient than Dart for most (if not all) tasks, and so it just comes to down to in-browser usage. For 99.99% of current web apps, I don't think you'd never notice a difference.

This talk was actually meant for beginners and for those who were acquainted with C to some extent.
Furthermore, many never learn about the preprocessor features (at least here in India) and I ended up explaining things in detail which made up a majority of the post. I know it feels as if there was a prime focus on the preprocessor, but that wasn't the idea. It just took longer to explain those features (at least for beginners).

Article states, "The hearings will be held by the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Government Affairs and by a subpart of the Senate Banking Committee, the aides said."

And then it continues, "As with all emerging technologies, the federal government must make sure that potential threats and risks are dealt with swiftly; however, we must also ensure that rash or uninformed actions don’t stifle a potentially valuable technology."

While I cannot say sooth how exactly this will end, but I have a feeling it will end in tears. And by tears, I mean primarily our tears.

I mockingly envision TSA agents shaking me down at an airport for undeclared bitcoins and then absconding with my hardware until they can determine that I'm not illegally transporting undeclared bitcoins across state borders.

I'd mock this notion, but at this point in time, I know better.
That makes no sense - they have the plaintext of the email addresses they SHA1, so they can correlate it just fine when you enter it in, too.
The problem with double round robin (or long tournament in any non-ko form) is that after some time most players play for nothing or not so much. It's not ideal that the winner of the tournament is a person who scores the most points against opponents who already lost their chances and are not so motivated anymore.
Another problem is that it's just another tournament, we have a lot of those in chess. If you want a system to determine the strongest player just look at the rating list which is formed from results of all those tournaments. You don't need to play long additional one.

On the other hand world championship matches have tradition. Most chess fans remember at least some of those. Maybe Fisher's match, maybe Kasparov-Karpov battles, maybe the one when Kasparov destroyed Anand or maybe the one when he banged his head (unsuccesfully) vs Kramnik's Berlin Wall. Matches are popular, they excite the audience, people talk about them long before and long after. The winner guarantees his place in history as a member of very narrow group of players (only 15 of them, for what is over 100 years of world championship history).
People yelling "anachronism" don't understand what value this tradition have for chess players and chess fans around the world. Every sport has its own. Tennis has grand slams, football has the world cup, athletics has Olimpics. Chess has world championship matches and please all the armchair revolutionizers leave them alone.
Ios 7

I would summarise the first paragraph of text to something that sells the key advantage it has over thousands of other social things: find people at the same location as opposed to your friends. Better yet, figure out why this is important / beneficial / awesome and write this instead (hopefully you already know why it is). One possible way to do this is by leading with a few common use cases in which it's particularly helpful. If you can find a single benefit that covers the majority of the use cases, that's even better.

Ideally, you'll then also find an even better header to replace "Connect and share with everyone at your event!". This headline and its paragraph answer what I can use your app for - which can be enough - but we still need to translate it ourselves to a reason why I want to use it. Make this translation for us.

If this is hard, try first writing a version that doesn't use any of these words: "social" "share" "connect" and "platform". Also try directly copying the value proposition from your business plan (do you have one?), then tweak it a bit grammatically to make sense in its new context. These two exercises should help you see different possibilities of what to do with it.

(I also recommend making it easier to read - perhaps it's because it's night and I dimmed my screen's brightness a lot, but the background of the black text is too dark for me to read easily.)

Does that help?

If you guys like Debian and want a beatiful, fast DE and WM try Crunchbang. Used to be an Ubuntu and Mint guy. Even tried Xubuntu. I settled on Crunchbang, based on openbox, mainly because it is easy to configure, sensible out of the box and is even faster than XFCE distributions.

Here's a screenshot with WebStorm, gVim and Terminator which can split panes (although I use tmux most of the time).

Old master against young wolf representing new generation duel has its charm. It's symbolic. It adds to the spirit of the match.
The author of the article whines that Anand is not the strongest player anymore. So what ? If you want the strongest player look at the rating list. He holds the title which because of its tradition and all the battles fought for it has big value for chess fans around the world.

Winning Wimbledon in tennis is prestigious because of all the players who won it before and because all the great matches played there. It's because of tradition and living memories. It's the same in chess. The author proposes just scratching it off. His idea is similar to getting rid of Wimbledon and creating some new tournament in Dubai instead.
Well..the same thing happened to my app one time. It only got like 4 up votes or something but somehow a TechCrunch writer saw it and decided to write a post about it.
An online kick to leave a footprint
Ahh, when determined as a percentage of msrp the field gets murky. But 10% of a $20,000 msrp is markedly different than 10% of a $70,000 msrp. In raw dollars higher msrps depreciate by a much larger whole dollar amount, which would be reflected in the depreciation component of a pre-owned lease.

Also the luxury examples in your provided link trend towards "niche" luxury models. It is possible on some models at certain times to be a car new and re-sell it for a profit immediately. (Examples at current are the Range Rover and the new Corvette.) These markets are extremely fickle though.

A final point having read the comments of your link. When they rank cars by the factory residual value they do not discount that manufacturers attempt to prop up resale value by inflating residuals and writing offf the loss at lease maturity. Accounts based on that should be discarded or at least fact checked by an independent source, such as ALG.

I always thought it came down to one of two reasons (or both).

- Money and the lack of properly managing it.

- Diminishing interest as a relationship matures as well as a lack of open communication that's needed to keep a healthy relationship. Part of that is also due to not communicating well enough before getting married so one knows exactly who they are marrying ("love is blind"). That generally leads to one spouse to eventually cheat on the other or passively give up on the relationship.

Interesting read though.
