Yeah! It's about empowering socially awkward people who just have trouble holding conversations! That's why it's called "pick up artistry": because you're picking up conversations!

I honestly wonder how far up your ass your head has to be to completely ignore just how saturated the PUA community is with terms designed to objectify, marginalize, belittle, and disparage specifically women, and just how many of the highest regarded figureheads of the community are throbbing dickholes whose only goal in life is to find a modicum of self worth by pandering to the most cliche stereotype of traditional, toxic masculinity.
> Many are quick to label casual sex as misogynistic, but this implies that women are inferior to men and can't be trusted to make their own decisions and must be protected from themselves.

A community dedicated to developing, sharing, and applying methods to manipulate women into sex being considered misogynistic is not the same as casual sex being considered misogynistic.
I see a Streisand Effect in the making here.
Yeah, I'm sorry, this is pretty horrific. The technology behind it is amazing, and the company should be applauded for trying to get children interested in neuroscience, but to hijack a living creature like that? Being squashed by the boot of a shoe seems merciful in comparison to being turned into a Pokémon.

Of course, the above is a response based on emotion, maybe aesthetic grounds. I'm sure a bioethicist can create a better argument against this.
I don't know, but it would be illogical if it did.

All SMTP headers can be spoofed with ease. Often a custom header like "X-Real-IP" will be used to send along the client's true IP; a spammer wishing to bypass filters could simply pass a phony X-Real-IP header with whatever they want, so checking against this is futile.

That leaves us with an interesting conundrum - what, pray tell, should we do about genocide then?

Actually stopping people has just been taken off the table by you. Sitting around and lamenting the state of the world is only going to make us feel better, but won't do much for people being slaughtered for their race/beliefs/orientation/whatnot.

That leaves....?

I imagine Mayer would like to fire those overprotective members of management, but I can't imagine how she could know exactly who they are at this point. This review processes should hopefully help shine a light on some of them.
From my vague understanding, I've heard knockout described as similar to your desired "embular"
People buy life insurance based on price. Whether you're alive or dead isn't generally difficult to establish.

People buy other types of insurance based in part on price and in part on reputation. There are plenty of discussions (I've participated in some) about how insurance company X is too difficult to deal with, and insurance company Y is better when your car is totaled, etc.
What phone is that? Maybe it has a plastic screen, those get scratched easily.

In my experience metal is typically much too soft to cause any damage to the glass. If anything can cause damage it’s sand and the like (but it has to really press up against the screen). So, yeah, in an environment with a lot of that stuff glass screens will get scratched. However, it’s not like that’s a common environment for phones to be in.
This isn't "the west" cowing down before China, but a private, profit-seeking news organization deciding on a more pragmatic (albeit cowardly) option after what must have been a big cost-benefit analysis.

Sadly, this is the future of news. No news organization can today afford to antagonize one of its largest (potential) markets simply to strive for some higher journalistic zeal.

Take Google for instance. Does anyone today care that Google stood its ground against the Chinese government and squandered the entire country away to competitors? Whatever halo they earned when they made that decision has long vanished.

Edit: Morals and halos don't pay journalist salaries.
I had to scroll all the way down here to see someone use the word "feminist" as a baseless insult. You guys need to step up your game.
It is ironic that the editor should compare China to Nazi-era Germany and then go on to suggest that self-censorship is the best way to cover news in China.

On one hand, some courageous Chinese men and women risk everything for freedom and fight their government. On the other hand, it is sad to see these rich American businessmen collaborate with the Chinese autocrats (even though these American businessmen don't need to fear torture etc and the only risk they run is losing some extra money by not being to conduct business in China)
If I absolutely had to choose between a news organization that twists things for the republicans or one that twists things for the Chinese communist party, I'd choose one that twists things for the Chinese communist party. Since really, that news is not nearly as relevant to me.

It's a false dichotomy, of course.

A hacker's journey: from cook to chef (4)
Do not rely on other platforms or tools than a vanilla hosting environment for production

Story [1] posted by James Somers about their Rap Genius application stopped running on Heroku was a good reference which taught us not to rely on other platforms for a quick deployment even if the hosting platform provides benefits and is use to be reliable.

There is another story [2] about Twitter when they were using Ruby & Rails which had to be replaced by Java and JVM and it was not a trivial task by any means. People like to do a quick and dirty job so that they can see the results quickly. It's ok for prototyping, but be careful to go production with such implementation.

There is a third example for not relying on third part tools. If you have to use some tools, use as few as possible. It's not fun. After I done the research and investigation of the latest WordPress package, I have to dump it. Why? All of the effort is to make the web page responsive without coding. Is coding such a big deal for developers? That's the tool for businesses not for tech companies, even if it is just used as blog sites. You exchange your control and leave an additional layer of security threats by using the tools, See [4].

Buy the book Violent Python. It is exactly what you need, and is available on kindle.
Random note: if you use a regular client (such as desktop, but also including the client on your phone), you are almost certainly leaking your IP. gmail, for instance, won't include your IP when using the webmail interface, but every message sent via SMTP will.
Probably the same way, but being a female pickup artist doesn't carry all of that "constantly objectified in media" and "the subject of a steady stream of slut-shaming (but if she doesn't put out she's totally a bitch)" baggage that's there when a man is trying to manipulate a woman into having sex with him.
I like the idea. If the users are the one paying the bills then the site will focus making the best user experience to please users. If the site is advertiser driven, then the focus will slowly shift to making advertisers happy and increasing ad revenue. I think Jeff Bezos said something like this when he was talking about the newspaper industry.
>>Murdoch has made no secret of his desire to stay as independent as possible this charade, and has made quite clear that he will avoid the Chinese market if that's what it takes

At best, your comment is a naive and ignorant take on Murdoch and China.

See http://www.nytimes.com/2007/06/26/world/asia/26murdoch.html?... for how Murdoch wooed Chinese leaders, how his Star TV man tried to stop the BBC from showing a Tiannamen Square video and how they ultimately dropped the BBC from Star TV's Chinese programming.

Best go with structural if you want to actually learn something. This book ( http://www.amazon.com/The-Elements-Computing-Systems-Princip... ) is very good and I think still stands as the best introduction to this type of stuff I've seen. It's also presented in a straight forward enough way that it's good enough self-study for anyone with some programming experience.

There is something called "abstract base classes" which provide the sort of interface testing you're asking for. You can, in Python, see if a thing supports (or more precisely claims to support) item access, iteration, sequence behavior, etc.
But that's a counterfactual. Once the pop occurs, the company could not have gone with a higher price and pocketed more cash. A rational actor should make the best decision they can make given the information they have at the time, place their bets, and take their chances. The article clearly made it seem like having a pop (as differentiated from having a higher stock price) was a favor that Twitter was doing investors, and that somehow this favor would be repaid by market at large via some mechanism that's totally mysterious to me. I'm honestly really baffled that this meme gets repeated so much, and I'm open to explanations.

Dutch auctions do sound good in theory, and I'm aware of what happened with Google's: a 17% pop, which left some money on the table, but much less than Twitter did. Google's stock did abnormally well in the months following, but it's hard for me to divine how much of this had to do with the IPO mechanism. In any case, I think a sample size of one is probably not enough to draw much of a conclusion one way or the other.
Does anyone have more detail on how this works?

If it's possible to effectively control cockroaches, then the real application would be military and espionage. Just think of the places cockroaches can go, especially if it's possible to further reduce the size of the apparatus and/or camouflage it.
I feel that using cockroaches like this might be justifiable for the purpose of research, but doing this for what amounts to entertainment is quite dark.
I've actually just inherited a giant mess of knockoutthat i was looking to replace with angular. I have to admit that I was actually expecting angular to handle this kind of stuff so I'm a little disappointed in that respect. Angular does seem to have plenty of benefits but I thin i'll give knockout a full review before(maybe it just needs to be structured better).

Killing an animal quickly and efficiently is generally held to be more "humane" than torturing it endlessly (and keeping it alive). It's the reason people put sickly pets down, rather than letting them suffer for months.
"Journalism is printing what someone else does not want printed. Everything else is public relations." - George Orwell

This might not be a popular opinion, but I honestly think that its not possible for a for profit news organization to be fair and balanced. Specially in todays world when news organizations are owned and operated by a few to drive public opinion.

Ideally news organization should either be donation funded and non-profit. When you start caring about maximizing page-views and start pushing for more profit per pixels, its stops being journalism.

This only matters as long as Apple continues to make products consumers want most. If (as many speculate) this changes once the product pipeline that Jobs oversaw before his death is exhausted, the Cook supply chain dominance won't really matter; less people will buy Apple products and Apple's power to make these sort of plays diminishes. If Apple continues to make products consumers want most, then who cares about supply chain coups? Everyone else has a bigger problem on their hands.

He didn't say the end goal is "picking up conversations". Mindcrime was almost certainly taking offense to the infantilizing attitudes expressed in the quote he included, not to its reference to sex.

For the most part, the end goal is sex, and sometimes it's long-term companionship. There's nothing wrong with either of those.

See? It's easy to disparage large groups!
"Does anyone today care that Google stood its ground against the Chinese government and squandered the entire country away to competitors?"

Yes, me. It's the single factual act of Google's history that sticks in my mind. It says to me someone near the top will lose revenue to make an ethical stand. I can't remember too many other concrete examples of this in large companies.

Show HN: attended Argonne panel Integral Fast Reactor (IFR)
Panel presentation today with speakers from White House, Argonne National Lab, IAEA, DOE and someone who worked with Robert Stone on Pandora's Promise,--a film I've not seen. CNN has an article running that differs strongly from what I heard today from panelist speakers. It is true that the UK is currently in purchase process with US General Electric to build two Integral Fast Reactors in the UK. The PRISM design based on that terminated at Argonne by Clinton in 1994. Bill Gates recently visited Argonne regarding the IFR.

Fast forward a ten years. Is it inconceivable a similar technology will work on humans? I've read we already have the reverse - quadriplegic people can control a mouse on a screen by thinking.

If this would work on a human, how would a human attached to one of these perceive the foreign control? I'd imagine these electrodes would reproduce the brain signals that cause our muscles to move, but not alter our consciousness. So we would be aware that our own bodies were moving and responding to someone else's control. Imagine for example, wanting to stop walking but your body keeps on putting one foot in front of the other. Scary to lose control.

I'm not sure how far fetched that is, but it may be an interesting way to think about the morality of this device on roaches. I'm not sure if we know if roaches have a degree of consciousness, or if they operate 100% on instinct. Either way it's hard not to project or imagine some level of consciousness on the roach.

Once you do that, this device seems diabolical.
Can you clarify what you mean about "real" macros vs AST macros? The only obvious extension to normal AST-style macros I can think of is fexprs, which re-run the macro procedure on every invocation (rather than once at read/build/macroexpansion/whatever time).
Motorola wants to tattoo a mic on your throat
Ah, to be a kid in the Age of Stupid again. When tech friend after tech friend would bail to be with an unpromising start-up for the promise of gazillions in options. When bank accounts were passe, and everyone kept their savings in etrade. Friday night's mood was determined by Yahoo's stock price. When the phrase "you don't get it" was used instead of logic. The tech valuations may seem crazy today, but they are absolutely nothing compared the Age of Stupid. And just what was Apple's stock price in 1998?

I thought Racket was homoiconic. You can turn executable code into a data structure by quoting it (e.g. (+ 1 2) is executable code, but '(+ 1 2) is a data structure.) Wikipedia thinks Racket is homoiconic FWIW [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homoiconic ]

Not true. That (At least to me) proved that Google stands for ethics for ever.

I am not simply saying this as an observer. I am saying this as someone who is impacted by the choice google made.

We are an Android shop based in US with 20% of revenue coming in from India. I am sure if Google didn't make that choice, 30% of our revenue today would have been from China (which today is less than 1%). We are happy we lost that 30% revenue for better human rights.

You do realize this is common and goes into both directions?

The same has in lets say Europe, where news don't dare to talk badly about the US or Russia. It's a really common thing. Nobody wants to be the reason for diplomatic troubles and everyone knows how childish all over the planet can act

Sometimes causing that trouble simply doesn't seem worthwhile (even though one really should say that it would their job), maybe also because a lot of them is pretty clear and not surprising in first place. In a world where society wants to be passive (and yeah, even if the startup folks like to exclude themselves we always need point at examples that aren't really part of the startup culture) the motivation to criticize another, economically important country or even your own country isn't exactly high. Sure people might agree and say that they not like it, but changes of policies are pretty much non-existent.
In our society many of us subconsciously or sometimes consciously turn down the volume of our own conscience, because we'd rather not come face to face with our hypocrisy, our complicity with banal and not so banal evil [1], because we don't want to give up the benefits. In the Internet tech community, its ultimate manifestation is how we pretend advertising is not evil, while deep down know it is [2].

One of the articles listed below quotes the notion that without a pop the stock "looks bad", which sounds insane to me.

It sounds like an a posteriori justification of the status quo for playing on Wall St, to me.

I recall a lot of hand wringing in the press when FB IPO'd but their market making bank wasn't able to score anything out of it precisely because it was accurately priced. The more I read about this, the smarter, more incredible of a negotiator I think Zuckerberg is.
