For the record, all I want you to do is clearly state your assumptions and your model. Then I can derive your conclusions for myself. I can clearly understand what you believe about the world, and if I disagree with you I can understand why.

If you just say "oh the world is so complicated and I like basic income because maybe it will reduce the # of prisoners and reduce income inequality", I have no idea what you believe will actually happen or why, and you probably don't either. For a great example of this, take a look at this post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6725282
Maybe here's a miscommunication. I meant no price, no need to trade my copyright, and maybe you're meaning freedom to access source code - strict GPL meaning.

Also I haven't argue payment itself is bad. Go back and read carefully my reply. Fair trade is good, and I would gladly pay for good product.
yeah, I kept scrolling without reading the texts(not a big console gamer) but just to see the animated wireframe going.
There is no way that'll ever happen.

Much more likely; Xamarin is acquired, monodevelop development halts and the Xamarin offerings become VS pro features, giving Microsoft a foot hold in the mobile space (which they desperately need) and maintain VS revenue.

It's arguably not a terrible direction for things to go... If, unlike me, you dont passionately despise VS. :p
I didn't realize having your wine moved was a pain point.
there is a difference between keeping something confidential (because it relates to an individual and doesnt really need public scrutiny, indeed there is no public interest in scrutinisg the data e.g. a private citizens medical or tax records) and keeping something secret, something that is purposefully being kept from the public and there is a public intertest element in it -e.g. government behaviour, secret laws that would impact on private citizens etc.

No, I'm not an American. Why did you use extremes when OP didn't? He's talking about the product of government policies regulating citizens every day lives, the result of which is unsatisfactory for OP, not extremist situations in which political prisoners are shipped off to a torture camp or civilians in different countries are killed.

Those are both terrible things, yes, but hardly affect the day to day lives of people or their decisions, sadly.

As I understand it, the recent economic turmoils in various parts of the world seem to have shed a new light on the mathematical modelling of real economies. While the models might be a good discussion tool, forcing the parties to explicitly state various assumptions and ideas, they are essentially useless for predicting a real world economy.

And what’s worse, they seem like something dependable. Isn’t it very hard to judge how much a model has to do with reality? A discussion about a model might be a perfectly scientific, constructive and relevant discussion about a theoretical world that has almost nothing to do with the real one.

Webcal.com for $5000? That seems way too cheap.
Right, so sled.com is probably pretty good, but webserver.com is probably useless. Sled could easily be the name of an app (totally unrelated to sledding of course), but Web Server can't be anything because it's too technical to be useful for anything not related to web servers and too general to be useful for anything that actually is related to web servers.
Have we changed the subject?

Perhaps. I've been accused of having a random free association narrative most of the time. :)

We seem largely on the same page about the challenges. So we're cool. I'm far more pessimistic than most people. For instance, I believe we're already way past the tipping point on climate change, per the opinions of the experts, and most people aren't there yet.
No, it's not, unless you want even more data dredging and p-value hacking. This won't solve anything, and it'll make matters worse.
10 Ways of Breaking Bad Habits on Your Facebook Page
IMO the visual on the page was annoying, and not very informative.

The bar chart somebody linked to showed the same data in a much nicer way. Easier to grasp at a glance, and easier to make comparisons.

To make the page's visual work it would have been better to show later numbers in terms of the previous companies. Show, for example, that Facebook is 1.3 Blackberries, Nokia is 4 Facebooks, etc.

It is a meaningful step up, because the passive attack is entirely risk free for the attacker, while an active attack carries with it the risk of detection.

The practicality of enormous secret drag-net operations like the NSA has been running would decrease dramatically if TLS had been the norm rather than the exception, even with unverified certificates. You can't opportunistically MITM 100% of connections without somebody noticing.

It is a shame that cleartext connections have to be the out-of-the-box default in every web server. Security should be the default, and I think the CA mess is to blame for that not being the case.

The sane thing to do would be generating a random self-signed certificate if the administrator didn't set up any explicit certificates. That would prevent passive attacks, and can be built on top of with technologies like certificate pinning and Convergence to mitigate active attacks.
true for all branches of engineering. pretty much holds for all of life.
But according to this discussion over at reddit, HTTP 2 seems to be made required for "real" sites:

http://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/1qj1tz/http_20_t...

So now it's NO choice after all. If you want to run a "real" site, not only must you pay rent for your DNS, you are now also being extorted into paying money to CAs. CAs which can be subverted by the NSA, so they're effectively worthless anyway.

That's a bad move. Internet should be getting cheaper, not more expensive.

This whole HTTP 2.0 affair is turning into a real piece of extremely short-sighted shenanigans. Given W3C's green-light on DRM in HTML, we should start questioning if we want to entrust them with these sort of tasks in the future. They have gone completely off the rails.
I feel the same way. Maybe it's coming from being around so many Python engineers, but the indented format just seems so much more readable to me, outside of not having to worry about all the bracket junk that clutters the syntax normally.

I totally understand the reasoning to move towards scss though, and it's easy enough to flip between them.
Its not about typing. Its about cool name I guess. Everyone loves and remember a cool name. When you remember things, you communicate that easily and more often. Good for marketing I suppose
yes it does, big time!

You really don't understand the negativity? The OP offered a ridiculously simplistic model in an obnoxious and aggressive style, oblivious to the gaps in his own knowledge claimed that this analytic framework was the end-all in terms of analyzing the policy.

So, despite the fact that there was some trifling value to the post, he's really going to garner a lot of negativity.
It's very hard to separate emotional liking of people with being able to rate their abilities, since rating for most white collar jobs is so subjective. This is why forced stacking can be so insidious, and also why ratings frequently seem unfair. It's also why office politics creep in to the process. People trade on their likeability because they're not confident that their skills will be properly weighted.
The first problems are disease and starvation. Once you've improved conditions with respect to disease and starvation, more people are alive, demanding more resources. Now able to function as economic actors, they work and produce economic output - wealth for the society they live in. In turn this wealth produces a middle class. People who move into the middle class reproduce less frequently, have fewer children.

So the best cure for overpopulation isn't limiting growth it is accelerating it.

As much as it sucks to admit, there's no shortcut here. You need to go through every stage of development. Societies can't skip from step A where there is rampant starvation and disease and basic needs aren't met to step D where there is a flourishing middle class and population stability and control, without first going through steps B and C where basic needs are met but there is also overpopulation and widespread poverty.

If you ask me, disease should be our #1 priority. Human beings can do almost anything if they are well, but if they are sick it becomes much, much harder to function and provide for their own basic needs. They are much more likely to starve if they are not well enough to go out and work.
It's shot up nearly $10/share in the last couple months. Just unloaded mine the other week for a nice profit.
IMO that article doesn't really say anything interesting. There is no clear dividing line between the lexer, the parser, and semantic analysis. You have a great deal of freedom to move work between these phases, and what the grammar you're using at the parser level looks like can change drastically as a result.

If Python's lexer is not regular, it doesn't change the fact that the parser uses a context-free grammar over the resulting lexemes. Whether that's the right approach is an engineering tradeoff and nothing more.

I think the key to a unified cross platform ui format is going to be another layer of separation of concerns, similar to HTML/CSS.

I think this because I believe that platform-level ui look and feel differences are going to be with us for a long time.

I think you can standardize "what it does" and "how it does it", but you'll have to keep platform specific "how to invoke" and "how it looks" for a long time.

Maybe a MVCP paradigm is what we need, where the controller is split into common controller and platform controller
I'll never buy one of those again either, subsidized or not. One reason beyond the cost is being at the mercy of the telco for upgrades.

The Code That Made Me Cry
I have recently returned from business trips to China and India and it's a fair statement to say that people are either spending a whole bunch of money on flagship phones ($1000 for a Galaxy Note 3 in India), they're sticking with dumb phones, or they're reluctantly forking over $200-400 for entry level smart phones. Karbonn, Oppo, Meizu and others are all trying to crack this market, but until now they're spent more time trying to compete at the "cheaper flagships than Samsung/HTC/LG/Sony" than than the "accessible decent smartphone" market.
That's true, and it's a problem.
Or the fact that they keep half of their leaked material secret from us.
The statement is presented as a fact in the article, yet as even the author admits it is probably not true. So I would agree it is amateur journalism.
To communicate with the EV3 over bluetooth you don't need to make any modifications to the EV3 software at all so that could be a possibility although you'll need to check the rule book I suspect.
You missed his point.

It doesn't actually work well. It doesn't do basic stuff, which makes it entirely unusable. Like you can't move up/down/left/right using the arrow keys. You can't save it. It crashes if you make basic mistakes.

The 80% of perceived functionality is that it looks like a spreadsheet app and actually does some basic calculations.

It actually does about 5% of what you'd expect even the most basic of spreadsheets to do. And all the polish of even the most basic functionality is missing, which is what takes most of the time.

Which is why you should always avoid putting a pretty looking but barely functional mockup in front of the pointy hairs. They then think it's almost done.

This is terriffic news! Smartphones are things that drop, that break, that fall into water and that get lost. Shelling out $500 for something this... ephemeral... always seemed absurd to me.

The Monaco project form Visual Studio is exciting. We (Codenvy) have tracked nearly 50 web-based editors that have emerged in the past 2 years. A few of them have transitioned into full businesses with venture backing. Most of them have remained side projects or experiments.

With Microsoft's project related to Monaco and their VP's statement in the TechCrunch article that this style of development is where the future is vectoring towards, this is the first major platform vendor that has indicated that they see these sorts of cloud environments as not only as supplemental to core development, but potentially displacements.

Of course, there are years of engineering ahead before cloud systems can offer true displacement, but some of the early adoption scenarios are getting well defined. We attempted to capture the market size and early adoption drivers of cloud browsers in this quora post.

Oh, but it's ok for the USGOV and it's "free media" to be manipulative to an extent that would make any mafia boss blush?
I've felt that way for 16+ years.. of course, 2/3 of that time most developers never took the time to understand/learn JS the language, and then separate that from the horrible browser DOMs in the late 90's. NN's Layers vs IE document.all ... Starting with IE5/6 (and later Phoenix/Firebird/Firefox) it actually got a lot better.

It's definitely nothing like IE4/NN4 days, and it looks like IE8 is finally falling off the radar, with IE9 to follow in the next couple years. It's only getting better. IE8 was really the last relatively bad browser imho. IE9 has some quirks, and IE10/11 are actually pretty nice (though IE11 is the most buggy browser MS has released since IE6, possibly more so).

Yes, there are still browser compatibility issues.. but they are so few and far between for day to day use. Except for WebRTC and WebAudio, things are really solid.
Ever since ALA's redesign, the header has looked like this for me - http://i.imgur.com/CcpjRHV.png

HAHAHA I BROKED IT
I was excited to see the MSDN discount, realized it was double business licenses (Android and iOS bundled together) and doesn't apply to BizSpark or DreamSpark. The discount makes both not much more than a single business license. I can suspect not including the "free" MSDN tiers was done on purpose as well, likely on MS' side. No discount, no benefit of the extended 90-day trial. I can't help but feel my puppy is kicked yet again.

The normal trial is likely not that bad but I consider more than my cost of Visual Studio (yes, free but still) is too big of an investment, at least to pull the trigger. The price to stay in my IDE of choice is pretty steep but there is extreme merit to that over say MonoDevelop.

I'm happy for the partnership but I shouldn't have expected any more than what I'm being given. That's my problem, but one I felt the need to lament about in case someone else tries to do their own digging to come to the same conclusion...
Fantastic! I'm trying to get stronger with my JS and this is really an inspiration.

For whatever reason, I hit a poor grades stretch in math for my first three years of high school. It was just boring, and high school had distractions. My school almost blocked me from taking calculus. When I hit Calculus, I had my "Aha, I get it now" moment, and had great grades in math ever since.

Some students don't need to be motivated to work hard. Others do. Some in the latter camp are led to believe that they're not good at math, when the reality is that they're just not motivated for it. I'm glad that I ultimately found my motivation.

The OP seems to have found this moment too.
Domain names at that price should include an SSL certificate.
To me this seems mostly about Microsoft Phone(and perhaps in the future tablets). It will help to get more WP apps out there if all it takes is a rebuild of a Xamarin iOS or Android project. Makes sense. I'm guessing Xamarin gets a cash infusion in return.
That sounds truly awful. Perhaps pink or brown noise would be slightly less awful.
You probably don't want a system where all the hardware and software for controlling mobile radios is readily accessible to and modifiable by anyone. You might think you do, but the first time you try to call an emergency service and you can't get through because one idiot somewhere in range of the same base station has screwed up his debugging code and jammed a control channel, you'll change your mind.

I've been the guy who drives around in a truck with a lot of mobile scanning equipment to try and figure out where the rogue device is. There is no magic button like in the movies, where they can immediately triangulate the source of the interference to within a 5 cubic metre box. You basically have to rely on simple physics and boots on the ground. The device you're hunting for isn't playing nicely, so any assumptions you could normally make based on things like which base stations it's in contact with won't necessarily be valid. Things are a bit smarter in modern networks than they were back when I worked in the field, but physics is still physics.

In short, there is a legitimate justification, born of experience, for every telecommunications regulatory authority in the known universe requiring this stuff to be certified before you can legally use it. This is also why in some jurisdictions agents acting for telecommunications regulators have certain legal rights to access private property.

Of course this only affects the radio equipment. I see no reason it should be necessary or possible for such software to have any control over other integrated peripherals such as cameras, speakers, microphones or local storage. And the primary concern is people who could modify the code and break the network, not preventing any legitimate audit to prove that devices are only doing what they say they're doing.
