Wasn't this already largely the case? You have to manually download extensions and then drag them into the extensions manager to install them outside the store right now, don't you?

The only change here seems to be that now you need a checked "Developer mode" box in order for that to work. I guess that discourages randomly checking the box, but if they had just labelled it "Allow third party extensions" it would make the change seem less overbearing.

Recently I've been thinking about Kickstarter et al as a tech sector replacement for the stock market. What form or function does the stock market lay for companies that can be replaced with a more direct consumer/business to company investment? Is the instability and irrationality that speculation and large investment groups bring to the stock market necessary for funding/investing?
Not sure if you're serious or trolling. How about comparing the financial industry with some other closely regulated industry, such as pharmaceuticals or healthcare? Seems to me that it's rather easier to become a fund manager than a doctor, for example. Likewise the setup costs and regulatory burden of running a hedge fund seem rather lower than those of bringing a new drug to market.
I don't know a service that offers multiple courier services and allows multiple accounts... If you want you can integrate the API of one courier service, such as UPS, and offer access with multiple accounts. Or you can use Easypost and have access to multiple courier services with one single account. I'm sorry that I couldn't be more helpful. Good luck!

The issue with linux containers is (or at least it used to be) that it is possible for a malicious user to 'break out' of the container. Has this problem been solved?
1) a large number of big budget animation and non-animation movies that use large amounts of SFX actually get their animation work done in India nowadays.

2) the logic of your argument fails anyways - they proved to the world - that they can send a spaceship to mars - they already launch satellites for other countries - and make a shit ton of money on it - their people are learning to make spaceships that can go into deep space - an industry that if anything is also growing in the private sector - they did the whole thin for the cost of a few hundred javelin missiles that the US army has been using to kill arguably mostly civilians in Afghanistan (and dont tell me the US has money - you know the debt ceiling fight recently? That was the US agreeing to borrow more money). there is almost 0 wrong with this mission.
With this small number of fires, you can't get meaningful comparative statistics between Tesla's and Petrol powered cars yet. Variance is too high with this small number of incidents/cars on the road.
Hi, perhaps there is some misunderstanding of how bitcoin works.

People only need to know your credit card number, name, and expiration date to use your credit card to purchase something online. Since you give those information to many merchants, it is very easy for those info to leak out.

For someone to use your bitcoin to purchase something, they have to have your private key. When you make a purchase, you do not give out your private key to anyone. bitcoin and credit card are two very different things.

Credit card was not designed for internet, while bitcoin is.

Just curious, how are people building Docker images these days? Doesn't it only run on 64-bit Linux? I have a 32 bit Linux desktop and a Mac and haven't gotten around to installing Docker. At work I have a 64 bit Linux desktop and it seemed to be extremely picky about the kernel version so I gave up.

Are people running Linux VMs on their Macs to build containers?

I like the idea of this service. But both the client side and the server side have to be easy. Unless I'm missing something it seems like they made the server side really easy, but the client side is still annoying.
It is true that the cost may well be less than sending a check to some American farmers to ship over rice, because the monies circulate locally.

But ultimately that money could have built a big dam, or a few beautiful bridges, or a small power plant in a country with lots of power outages.

I personally think it is money well spent, because it heralds the arrival of India to the world of first class satellite launching, by doing something Russia failed at the first few attempts. But that payoff is over the long term.

Very cool looking, would love to use it, but there's two main problems:

1. No free trial, dropping $300 on a javascript plugin that I don't even know works yet is a lot of money.

2. I don't know if the value it offers is THAT much different from other credit card validation tools. If I'm making $50/hr freelancing, that's 6 hours of my time and I could easily customise some other alternative to fit my needs in that time.
yes - and so will ISRO - with its private company Antrix - its already making money launching spaceships for telecoms companies and other non-spacefaring nations. the mars mission if you will - is just a slightly more expensive Marketing move - showing clients what they can do. So its a very fair comparison!
Speaking of digitalocean, are you guys affiliated at all? Because I get a digitalocean vibe from your pricing/terminology/etc. for some reason.
I would guess a good portion of it, though not all, but that will probably take some time. As a non-profit that provides a widely used web service, they could probably always use more cash, so it's better to get donations now rather than waiting for their insurance to pay out. It's possible they were underinsured on some of this stuff; since they had a lot of custom hardware for scanning books, it may have been hard to price it accurately. It can also be a good fundraising call to arms; people who may have been on the fence or said "well, maybe I'll donate later" now have a reason to donate immediately.

Except we've established :

1) bacon's smell has nothing to do with bacon itself - it's the preservatives that are used just the same for vegetables (sometimes)

So you're just responding to a bad eating experience from long ago. I have the same - with fish. I can't stand being in the same room with it, I can't eat it without throwing up. I also know it's safe because for the first 3 years of my life I ate almost nothing but fish, and then I guess I ate a bad batch, and given my parent's habits I'm guessing I was forced to finish that. That's what's causing my aversion.

I like to say that it's animals (and plants) forced to swim in their own faeces all their life, even in human faeces near coastal cities where nearly all fishing happens. I know several other people who have an aversion to certain foods (different from allergy because aversion is psychological, allergy is physical). But I'm under no illusion that fish is actually unhealthy. On the contrary, I fully realize it's healthy (and yes, I make sure to eat/drink/season things with fish oil on a regular basis)

I would say that there's a lot of reasons you should reconsider vegetarianism though.

2) humans can't survive without eating the components of meat. There is no doubt about it, all human species are omnivores : while we can live for long periods without meat, it's risky, and going entirely without meat leads to death (even replacing meat with fish is risky). In the modern world it's actually possible to get a meat-replacing diet, using many components. Most vegetarians don't do it this way - they ignore the problem. Result : at first, slimming, which is what they're generally going for, and after a while (generally months or years) : sudden shutdown of a bodily function, or sudden death after a medical incident or blood loss (because it depletes stores of critical molecules they can't replace). Vegetarianism not healthy, it just slows the rate of depletion of critical proteins to a rate that won't cause issues for years (in an adult. Try it on a baby and they WILL die. E.g. http://naturalhygienesociety.org/diet-veganbaby.html )

A lot of vegeratians seem to think an attack against vegan/vegetarian diets is an attack against them. And because they've developed this psychological aversion, that there is something evil about a person trying to "convert" them. No matter the science behind it.

there's an argument that while vegetarianism certainly isn't an ideal diet, it's better than McDonald's. And that's probably true.

Another day, another step closer to Apple.
"But dear developer: the framework is a servant of the application, not vice versa. If you embed your application logic in the framework, your application will lose its soul."

When I was working with frameworks in the past it was always a temptation to allow the framework to dictate the application organization. The discipline to not do this required me to understand the framework and how to bend it to my will. I wonder if this is a problem that others run into and thus get "trapped" in the framework?

Why? no clue, no reason.
But Clang with libc++? There're reasons.

The primary Clang user groups are Apple and FreeBSD communities. a.k.a. anti-GCC groups. Both of them really want to avoid any GCC stuff and are officially deprecating all the GCC stuff. Having dependency to GCC stuff is nonsense on these platforms. If common developers are sane enough, they' won't use libstdc++.

And other group is the Linux development. But I don't think there're really many developers who are using Clang for production on Linux. There's no big push from the platform, and also no big benefits. But there're many shortcomings for using Clang. It's not installed by default, not supported by platform, not tested much.

If there're some people want to adapt Clang on Linux even now, they won't hesitate to use libc++. And the others will just stays in good old GCC with libstdc++.
Agreed on this point.

Many statists get caught up in the argument about whether or not gold has "intrinsic" value, which is why I like to redirect their focus to the concept of substances with unique properties.

Because, whether or not value is "intrinsic", no one can disagree that specific substances have specific properties, and that some substances have properties more likely to be selected as currency by the Invisible Hand, than others.

And thus it becomes undeniable that gold and Bitcoin have quite a bit in common.

yup - I totally dont understand this - why does no one apply this cost-benefit analysis when the US goes to pointless wars for years on end - spending literally TRILlIONS - for something that will have very limited positive outcomes. Especially given the poverty in the US itself - the number of homeless people and foreclosures.

I quite frequently make small edits to Wikipedia. Sometimes I just ask for clarification on something that sounds wrong (but I'm having trouble looking it up) on the talk page. It's rare that my edits are reverted and when they are I've never felt that it wasn't reasonable for the edit to be reverted. I don't normally make huge edits as I haven't got the time but lots of small changes will still slowly improve the article.

You find yourself shut out of critical decision points meetings because people needed to make a decision but assumed you were deep in thought and couldn't take an interruption

Still sounds like a dick move to me, if the office were on fire and you were taking a nap in the breakroom would people leave you to sleep while they got out to save themselves? probably not.

Thats, an extreme example but if you follow it, you can see that the keypoint here is "critical decision", if you're making decisions without somebody that should be involved in the process, because you're so damned polite that you didn't want to bother them, I'd hazard that you're not really polite at all, you're just being passive aggressive, but I'm a bit of a cynic ;)
I'll just mention http://www.dspguide.com/ as a really fantastic resource - a free book aimed at scientists and engineers but so well written as to be easily accessible to the interested lay person.

A lot of the math-related articles on Wikipedia are terrible. When you look at the page for the Math project the FAQ basically says 'it's an encyclopaedia, not a textbook, go write on the talk page of individual articles.' The project managers seem hyper-defensive about it, in constrast to the comprehensive and inclusive approach of many other fields. The Wikibooks project is not much better (so far).

I find the Wolfram Mathematica pages more accessible for dealing with new concepts.
I have a two-page resume, but it's split such that the first page is what potential interviewers will need to read and the second page is the stuff only HR's high-pass filters will care about.
right - and so do Indians I'm very sure - it's just that anyone with an understanding of science and a sound logical ability will know that tooting about how bad the poverty in a country is - when they're achieving something succesful - is anything but "concern". those problems have been there for decades - 70 million worth of toilets isnt going to solve indias sanitation problems. 70 million worth of space missions will inspire 70 million more kids to become scientists and engineers - and drive the country forward.
If you are interested in Open-Transactions then I suggest you check out the wiki:

http://opentransactions.org/

Quote:

The Open-Transactions project is a collaborative effort to develop a robust, commercial-grade, fully-featured, free-software toolkit implementing the OTX protocol as well as a full-strength financial cryptography library, API, CLI, and prototype server.

Open-Transactions democratizes financial and monetary actions. You can use it for issuing currencies/stock, paying dividends, creating asset accounts, sending/receiving digital cash, writing/depositing cheques, cashier's cheques, creating basket currencies, trading on markets, scripting custom agreements, recurring payments, escrow, etc.

Open-Transactions uses strong crypto. The balances are unchangeable (even by a malicious server.) The receipts are destructible and redundant. The transactions are unforgeable. The cash is unlinkable. The cheques are non-repudiable. Etc.
But if your code vectorizes, can't you get twice the throughput on sections?
I'm building docker images on 64-bit linux (ubuntu) and maintaining a repo of Dockerfiles, instead of uploading to the docker repository.

You need a recent version of the linux kernel that supports Linux Containers. It's best if you can run Ubuntu 13 somewhere.

> Are people running Linux VMs on their Macs to build containers?

FreeBSD supports jails which are similar to linux containers in a way, but OSX does not. So unfortunately you're going to have to run a VM, checkout vagrant and docker though. [1]

By this formula, I can have four pages. My resume is four pages plus four lines that spill over onto the fifth page. If your formula handled floating point instead of integers, I'd be fine.
Agreed, I should probably have said "there is a feeling they might have missed out on a lot of money".

It's not clear cut but the share price hitting $46 suggests that they could have floated successful at a higher price.
Yes. Emerging best practices seems to be to use Vagrant to create a great development environment, then use docker containers inside that for isolation. The two work together quite well. There's a comment from the Vagrant creator here about that:
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6291549

In short, yes, just run a VM.
I think that's not a charitable interpretation

Of course its not, but does what I described happen in corporate America everyday? you bet your ass it does.

It's the new direction Microsoft's taking with their interface formerly known as Metro design theme. The "tiles" concept works well on touch devices, but is a complete failure on large-screen computers with a keyboard and mouse.

I'm aware you can turn it off, but if you're disabling their flagship feature, why even bother upgrading to Windows 8 at all? It's expensive for anyone in Windows 7 with very, very little benefit.
Thought the same as the above, but also have an issue with the design decision to use dots as placeholder text. Conventionally, dots indicate that text had already been entered into a (password) field. Even though they are slightly greyed, I think it's confusing.

I suppose it's possible TG is a sociopath, although I don't know anybody who deliberately trolls like that.

I still think it's far more likely that both people are poor communicators in that TG wants to get a precise and accurate answer from somebody who doesn't think about language that way and that NG is oblivious of the fact that TG is looking for a precise answer and will get frustrated with replies that don't answer his questions.

I'm very excited to put my 3m documents into hstore, as they are currently in a horrible, unqueryable, unwritable (mostly) blobs of compressed, b64encoded serialized ruby hash structures (long story, predating nosql).

This makes me very, very happy.

Edit:

I should point out why:
-my document structures pretty much match 1:1 with hstore now (we have nested arrays of hashes)
-i can query & report on the data with normal tools
-i can update individual fields on my data (currently impossible)
-i can do relational joins & such-like in the db (currently impossible)
-i can have sensible transactions
Well, since your post every news agency has described it as hitting road debris. I grant you that at the time of my post that was most likely speculation but I went with the notion that most cars don't suddenly burst into flame without some sort of outside influence. Considering that this Tesla was apparently the only vehicle involved and another Tesla hit road debris to catch fire that was also the only vehicle involved, I decided that it was likely a repeat.

An oft-repeated well-meaning but rather ignorant objection. Read this http://www.lettersofnote.com/2012/08/why-explore-space.html
Opinions on this subject obviously differ. My take is this: for most people (e.g. outside of academia), a resume isn't a shipping manifest. It's a piece of persuasive writing. The question isn't, "is one page enough to describe everything I've done" but rather "is one page enough to convince some hiring authority that I'm worth calling back?"

My dad does a lot of hiring. He says he spends about a couple of minutes on each resume that crosses his desk (he usually evaluates hundreds for any given position). That amount of time is enough to give one page due consideration, two pages an adequate read, but not to do anything more than skim through a 3+ page resume. Especially a dense one.

I think part of the problem is that a lot of the classic resume guidelines (chronological ordering) are not conducive to building a resume that highlights the relevant parts of someone's experience.
