Perhaps they're harder to detect? They won't fly as high as ballistic missiles, so they'll stay below the horizon of ground-based detectors. They may also generate less of a heat signature at launch so they may be less visible to satellites. Or, maybe the fact that they aren't ballistic and are steerable means it will be easier for satellites to figure out their course and that they aren't a threat. I'm just speculating.

Perhaps you misunderstood my question. I wasn't asking why I should care about workplace equality; I was asking why I should care that Tim Cook "endorses" having the government pass laws to enforce workplace equality, in view of the fact that he just got through arguing that it's in the best interest of businesses to uphold workplace equality anyway.

That said, I'm not sure I understand your position; are you saying you want the government to force the arsehole to give you a job? Do you really want to work for that kind of arsehole? Wouldn't you be better off getting a job from someone like Tim Cook, who doesn't need to government to force him to uphold workplace equality?

War crimes are an add insult to injury course of action. They are a way for victors to humiliate the vanquished.

Victors don't have war crimes leveled against them.
That is correct, it uses both the coordinates and places fields (see more about those here https://dev.twitter.com/docs/platform-objects/tweets ). There were actually substantially less before adding the code to handle "place". Most tweets that are tagged with a place and not specific coordinates use a bounding box which I've handled by just dropping the pin in the middle of the box.

Yes. And it did, well locally anyway. My great grandfather (maternal), fought in the civil war for the South to preserve his "right" to govern his affairs the way he saw fit. Reading some of his letters would ring chords in the Libertarian movement today. His thesis was that a government "of the people" should be "of the people" all the way down, and by that he meant that he believed that states were better able to make laws about how their citizens were treated and lived than Washington was (which he felt was 'controlled' by rich industrialists in the North). His children suffered tremendously post-war when all of the processes and mechanisms by which their economy operated were uprooted all at once.

Now sometimes that is the only way that you can change things enough. Just rip the bandage off and damn all the hairs its going to pull out. I don't have a good analogy for the impact it had on them, perhaps if the government suddenly outlawed the use of cars or any form of non-public transportation it would throw a similarly sized wrench into the mix.
To me, a "blog" is a particular format of online writing, but not all online writing is blogging. You can tell because newspapers often have blogs separate from their other content, drawing a distinction. I think there's a similar distinction between "essays that happen to be posted online" and "blogs".

This is interesting since I have found very little information about Bitcoin operating on poorly connected networks (i.e. most nodes are not directly reachable from any given node.) Given the current trend toward internet censorship, I wonder if Bitcoin will have to adapt to such networks as the norm.
> Ah if this was about intellectual property takedowns, then currently the US situation is a bit worse than most of the rest of the world. But still, China friggin censors their Internet, and comments like the above still seem to always single out the US.

Okay, let me give you the reasons:

a) No one would normally host their content in China. That's just ridiculous.

b) No other country is bragging as much about being the land of the free. So of course the one (perceived to be) at the top is going to take the most flak

c) Generally most bigger things are US hosted so the general advice to for example move your host away from Uruguay makes little sense

d) It's usually assumed that while other western industrial nations would like to spy as much as the US does, they usually do not have the money and manpower of the NSA.
Marxists seem excessively concerned with orthodoxy to me, as a whole. Mind you this is sort of unavoidable when a philosophy is named after a person. I have some sympathy with analytical and structural Marxism, but almost all the Marxists I encounter in person are of the more orthodox class warfare variety.
A problem with XPath is that many tools don't actually support the latest spec, or even a spec, and just give you a bastardised syntax that looks like XPath and walks like XPath but will never swim like XPath. This is frustrating because you're never sure which features you can actually rely on.

I remember the press going crazy for the 808, with one exception: it ran Symbian. That was the only thing the press didn't like, and that fact kept anyone from seriously recommending it. It was a tech demo, it was a great camera attached to a phone that cost Nokia nothing to build (unlike the Lumia 1020). The 1020 was the real-world version of the 808, the version Nokia wanted people to buy.

There's not "an" XPath for an element, as XPath describes the route you take from the root of a document to the element in question. The correct route for your situation depends on your use case.

Describing an element as "the first child of the fifth child of the second child of the first child of the eighth child of the second child of HTML" is as much the right path to an element as if you described the way to your house as "Walk past the park then walk past the bus stop then walk past the hardware store then walk past the butchers then turn left then walk past the pizza shop then walk past the library"
What kind of performance did you get out of this? I wrote a naive implementation of a FUSE filesystem in Python a while back -- it read the sickbeard DB and built a directory of the last snatched programs.

> War crimes are an add insult to injury course of action. They are a way for victors to humiliate the vanquished.

That's not true; for instance, the International Criminal Tribunal for the Fomer Yugoslavia (ICTY) has indicted members of pretty much every side of the various wars in the breakup of Yugoslavia.

That's actually rather the point of international war crimes tribunals not exclusively associated with the victors of a particular conflict or their allies, both conflict-specific ones like ICTY and standing ones like the International Criminal Court.

Its true that the development of institutions which allow war crimes to be prosecuted, in at least some cases, as something other than victor's justice is a development of the last couple of decades.

This link, which goes into some detail about the Skyhook lawsuit, paints a starkly different picture:

http://www.theverge.com/2011/05/12/google-android-skyhook-la...

Google may have allowed Verizon and AT&T maps because, of course, they are the ultimate gatekeepers. But they still demand data for their own services and forbade SkyHook completely. The article lays it all out.

In light of that, your point agrees with mine: Google did not allow denying their apps with data, which sounds reasonable for Google. But for Nokia that would be selling phones that improved the service of a direct competitor. Google certainly forbade SkyHook from getting any data, so very likely Nokia faced the same problem, which would have meant they'd be giving Google data without being able to use it themselves.
>but OS X treats it as 72dpi

I just added a 960px <hr> to this web page. On my monitor, attached to a MBP running OS 10.6, it measures about 9.5 inches (by holding up a ruler to the screen). That would indicate OS X treats my screen as about 100 dpi.

The monitor is 30" diagonal, 2560x1600. So, calculating the dpi:

irb(main):010:0* ratio = 1600/2560.0
=> 0.625
irb(main):011:0> width = 30.0/Math.sqrt(1 + ratio*ratio)
=> 25.4399491201526
irb(main):012:0> dpi = 2560.0/width
=> 100.62913207527

One of these days, I'm going to get around to buying a new Retina MBP. Then, I'll try that exercise again.

The mere existence of a large number of rules doesn't mean that the regulation is onerous.

So if you're a small business, it's not "onerous" to have to look through myriads of rules to make sure you aren't violating one? To the extent that these regulations are not "onerous", it's because they're ignored, not because they actually work.

Is there documentation available about the various layers of this project: operating system, networking, applications, and so on? You will receive much more and better quality feedback with more documentation.

For example, I would advise that after installing arkOS the web server for the Genesis application be only accessible from the LAN until the user changes the default password(s), by configuring TCP Wrapper. But it's hard to tell if this is already done without actually going through the installation.

arkOS is a great idea. I hope you succeed.

Am I missing other major downsides to taking a more proactive approach to managing my own health? Are there other things I should consider looking at to get a complete picture of my health?

What makes you think that reducing these metrics would make any difference to your health? If they are sometimes correlated with high risk that doesn't mean they cause high risk, or that the risk is significantly altered if they are lowered. Doesn't your lack of medical training worry you when attempting a diagnosis?

It's certainly reassuring to feel you can do something, but beyond the general advice given to you to eat healthily and watch for symptoms, perhaps there is nothing you can do if you are genetically predisposed to problems?
I've been in both, and here are my two bits:

It's awesome to work in an open plan with other people who are working on THE SAME THING you are working on, and it absolutely sucks to be surrounded by people who are working on completely different things.

Also bad: not being able to find a place to work together on something with other people.

And the worst: not being able to find a quiet place to concentrate, when you need to.

I think the answer is a combination of quiet offices with very many small conference rooms that can be claimed for projects... and a large, anything-goes space (like a cafeteria) for when you don't mind complete chaos.

I won't call what we're in a "bubble", but the culture seems to be going in the direction of mass producing startups, and this is the result. I see many startups popping up that seem to be creating a product just for the sake of creating a product, with no real long term goals.

Some VCs seem to be encouraging it, throwing millions at redundant social network apps that do things like "Gamify brushing your teeth!".

The tech industry has an immense ability to "make the world suck less" as Alexis Ohanian puts it, and it's important that we focus on that.

It's like anything else, if taken to an extreme, you can make anything bad.

The inspiration of "get shit done" are the bureaucratic nightmare environments where the mundane and irrelevant are debated for weeks, months or years, and many people make careers out of coming up with excuses why things cannot, should not, or will not get done.

Some not-so-good managers with poor leadership ability turn this into a power trip. I'll tell people to "shut up and get shit done" when I sit through a meeting that's nothing about debating things that aren't important, or just travelling down rabbit holes with no way out. And I don't deliver that message in an offensive or nasty way.

As another example: Henry Wirz was tried, convicted, and executed for running Camp Sumter (the POW camp near Andersonville, Georgia). As far as I know, nobody was ever tried for what happened at Elmira Prison. Elmira Prison had a 25% mortality rate, Camp Sumter had a mortality rate of 29%. Guess which one was run by the victors.

However merely being on the losing side isn't sufficient; you have to be on the conquered side. The US was by reasonable accounts on the losing side of the Vietnam War, but war crime trials were never held for the people that really deserved it because although the US lost, they were no conquered. Saddam was on the losing side of the Gulf War, but he did not see trial for his crimes until he was well and truly conquered many years later.

Hi eliteraspberrie - You will find all the documentation you need on https://arkos.io. There is explanation about the various frameworks and plugins that work with Genesis, what they do, how to use them, how to develop with them, and so on.

Thank you! :)
