The most prominent example is the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) to deliver electronic mail. It
requires at least two labels in the FQDN of a mail address. Thus standard-compliant mail servers would reject emails to addresses such as user@brand.

Do most mail servers follow this rule?

It doesn't take paternalistic assertions of black male incompetence to notice that the environment people come from shapes their options and eventually their decisions. Greenwich connecticut produces more stockbrokers than the marcy projects. Why? We could talk all day about it and probably argue on the particulars but certainly there's something there.

You're missing some upside variables in your calculation, future tax revenue from paychecks and participation in the economy contributing to GDP. And what about future crimes from some kid who got locked up for typical teenage idiocy in a neighborhood with a high arrest quota and comes out of prison with few job options and a thorough criminal education? Locking someone up costs a lot more than the bill for jail time.
Do you work for Upworthy? :)
Nimi, the agile manifesto does not say "People and Interactions _instead_ of processes and tools". Indeed, the preamble to the manifesto is quite specific that we think processes and tools are good things. It's just that people and interactions should take precedence.

In light of that, your contention that teaching TDD is "very far from the principles of being agile" is somewhat misguided. Quite to the contrary, to disregard processes and tools is what would be far from agile.

Based on your definition of collectivism, I would agree with you, but I think the definition is too broad.

From the Wikipedia article on Collectivism:
"Collectivist orientations stress the importance of cohesion within social groups... and in some cases, the priority of group goals over individual goals"

You can have individualists "working together to achieve the same aim", for example in a firm (or corporation), but they may place no importance on cohesion or group goals (when they are different from individual goals).
Nice idea but why they don't talk about what they really do? Five sentences in the "what we do" section isn't enough, where's detailed plan? And as I see in their latest financial report, they've got 7.86 million dollars last year but only spent 4.53. Looks like they've got enough money, but not enough opportunities for it?

As a Spaniard that has visited Italy, I can attest that they definitely understand us and we understand them, at least for the basics. However, there are interesting differences, like the way we pluralize words (quite different in both languages) or the lack of certain prefixes that Spanish imported during the Arabic occupation (carciofo -> alcachofa, zucchero -> azúcar, etc). I haven't studied Italian but I guess that the grammar is very similar.

It's a little like Galician or Catalonian (languages without an army or navy ;) ), the other latin languages spoken in Spain (then there is Basque, but that's a completely different thing): they have palpable differences to Spanish, but in most cases both tongues can reasonably understand each other without many problems (it also helps that most Galician and Catalonian speakers also speak Spanish, of course).

Because obviously someone's title declares what he is capable of or likes doing. Because someone with a title that isn't 'hacker' instantly discredits his ability to hack. Obviously. Because people who didn't study CS can't be hackers, obviously. Because someone who does UI or UX can't hack backend things, obviously.
Oh. no - not language specific TLDs! They wanted to introduce them like 7 years ago, and a lot of people agreed that it would just be a detriment to the Internet as we know it (freely accessible and global).

> If you believe in natural, self evident rights, (such as owning one's self,) then property rights can be derived in a number of ways.

Whether or not you believe in such rights, they are different kind of thing than legal rights and (notably) cannot be abolished. Confusing natural (i.e., moral) rights and legal rights is the fallacy of equivocation (and is equivalent to conflating a fact proposition with a value proposition.)

Creation of legal property rights is always a top-down action by the State. It may be justified by a belief in certain inherent, unalterable moral rights (as, equally, can the abolition of legal property rights -- which is simply the State declining to continue to impose coercive means to uphold certain property rights), but that doesn't change that the mechanism by which they imposed is top-down, coercive action by the State.

Well, strictly speaking, abolishing the state does not prevent the use of force - it simply removes a single arbitrator of force. If the state were abolished, then the landlord is free to use his own force to attempt to remove you. If this works or not / is a good idea or not for the landlord depends on the situation (ie does he believe that you can come back and retaliate with more force than he himself can muster).

I remember some ccTLD had A records a while back (bs. was one), but they lacked MX. I think it would just cause lots of form validation errors if that suddenly changed, not to mention the confusion you'd cause with people expecting a suffix. I cause enough issues with not having a ".com" on my email address, people love adding a .com.

After this many years.. I'd be really interested to see how clean/mangled the code is
I've done the DSP work at a high level using Matlab. What I want is to be able to deploy it in the browser, using the FFTW library on the host system, such that whatever audio is emanating from the browser due to an open page, like a music or movie player, is is passed through my DSP filter (which also has an interactive control panel) before being sent to the underlying system's audio sink.

I'm a DSP guy and completely naive relative to web programming. Does this sound like something for which the web audio api is appropriate?

The most obvious deployment to me would be a plugin, assuming one can access the outgoing audio stream, but that would not, of course, be browser agnostic.
This is great; I really do love Wallet and wish more places supported NFC payments. It's great to have this for the ones that only have magstripes, as I can now effectively carry one card and my phone wherever I go.

Tangentially, the article gets confidence intervals wrong:

That's not what a confidence interval is. A confidence interval is merely the set of null hypothesis you can't reject.

A credible interval (which you only get from Bayesian statistics) is the interval that represents how much you increased the conversion by.
So, uh, it's a stylus, right? Cause I can't tell for sure from that page...
I agree, I don't quite follow either.

We had a candidate who spoke the jargon so fluently and naturally, that we totally bypassed the coding exercises so as not to potentially insult them. They were able to go into the ins & outs of all manner of software, from OOP to design patterns to "big O", so we thought we had a winner... well, come to find out, being able to regurgitate class notes in no way translates to actual ability. The hire was so poor as a programmer that he was relegated to HTML/CSS duty for the longest time, and eventually let go at the first convenient chance. Yes, we tried on-the-job training, but you can't make a software engineer overnight, and when deadlines are looming you don't really have the luxury to tutor someone at the remedial level.
How does recognizing global languages as "first class citizens" make the internet less global?

>> Private property itself can't exist without the use of force and the state. If you abolish the state, you abolish private property.

Really now? If the State ceased to exist tomorrow, do you think you and everyone you know would go on a killing spree, because no one would have "the right to live" anymore?

Without the State, would you and your friends go forcefully take everyone else's (non-)property because property rights would cease to exist? Or would everyone perhaps willingly part with all their belongings because they believed their property rights had vanished with the State?

Would you and your friends go rape all the women you could get your hands on, purely because without the State, people would no longer have the right to control their own bodies?

.. See what I'm getting at here? Perhaps you'd like to reconsider who's got it completely backwards?
I think the invitation tree is what kept this from gaining sufficient traction. That's a very difficult model to get right, especially for an extremely below-the-radar site. Even Google didn't get it right with G+.

It should be pretty obvious by now that capitalism is not sustainable in the long term, because it encourages, or even forces the ever growing consumption of natural resources and the increasing environmental destruction. Products have limited lifetimes and little effort is made to recycle because it is (still) cheaper to obtain most raw materials. This will not be the case for our descendants in N generations, because we will have wasted a significant amount of the accessible natural resources. (And it will require a huge increase in energy use to recycle, which will probably come from more nuclear power as it is more Capitalist - renewable solutions can't be monopolized.)

The increase in wealth over the past few centuries can be put mainly down to the discovery of natural resources, although some wealth is generated by human labour. Both of these are finite, so it's impossible to have infinite growth forever. Which brings us to the point that, for the wealth of an individual to grow in an economy with a finite amount of wealth, either more wealth must be created by increased human labour, or some people will lose wealth.

My view is that while Capitalism does improve our lifestyles, it functions by taking loans from the earth, and passing the debt to our descendants. They have improved lifestyles in some areas, but certainly not all (Increased consumption doesn't increase happiness, overuse of antibiotics does not solve the problem of bacteria, and more pollution does not improve health, etc).

It's hard to say whether socialism would work, because it hasn't been properly tried yet. Whatever system we come up with to organize people, it needs to be based around sustainability rather than "wealth creation".

Perhaps we need to redefine what wealth really is. IMO, it's not "I own more than you", but is something internal - real happiness and physical health. We'll only be truly wealthy when all of us (and our descendants) are.

Capitalism is not the root cause, because it's just an idea created by humans. The problem is us, and the solution is to change ourselves. Here's a recent keynote given by Alan Kay on the subject: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e0R0tAOf7KI

Very disappointed that the Wallet Card has changed from its original goal of linking all your cards into one... that was the biggest appeal for me. Now that it's just another debit card, I doubt I will use it as my primary method of payment.

USB drive, OSX thinks its a keyboard?
I plugged in a borrowed USB drive to transfer jquery.js to students in my class (internet wasn't working).

The USB drive didn't work - it popped up for keyboard verification, and I pulled it out.

You don't need to tell me it's stupid to plug in USB devices, I'm not worried about that.

I'm wondering how you would make a USB drive that the computer thinks is a keyboard?

Is this malicious?

I'll miss the old days of 1999, using winamp to play my latest Napster "acquisitions".

Indeed. Which is why it takes some effort.

From /Nationalism/ by Elie Kedourie http://www.amazon.com/Nationalism-Elie-Kedourie/dp/063118885... http://www.worldcat.org/title/nationalism/oclc/27812918 :

"The writers who invented and elaborated the post-Kantian theory of the state belonged to a caste which was relatively low on the social scale. They were, most of them, the sons of pastors, artisans, or small farmers. They somehow managed to become university students, most often in the faculty of theology, and last out the duration of their course on minute grants, private lessons, and similar makeshifts. When they graduated they found that their knowledge opened no doors, that they were still in the same social class, looked down upon by a nobility which was stupid, unlettered, and which engrossed the public employments they felt themselves so capable of filling. These students and ex-students felt in them the power to do great things, they had culture, knowledge, ability, they yearned for the life of action, its excitements and rewards, and yet there they were, doomed to spend heartbreaking years as indigent curates waiting to be appointed pastors, or as tutors in some noble household, where they were little better than superior domestics, or as famished writers dependent on the goodwill of an editor or a publisher."

This group produced colourful people like Karl Sand https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl_Ludwig_Sand , and of course an ideology which was eventually to burn Europe down at least a couple of times. Substitute engineering for theology and you have a pretty accurate description of many of the angry young men of the present-day Middle East too.
Oh yeah, it could go really terribly too.

Don't try and dismiss entire movements with the acts of but a few extremists. Without the movement, you don't have May Day in 1919: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Red_Scare#May_Day_1919

Also, without context, you're argument seems reasonable, however WITH context, it does not. During class warfare, your poor and disenfranchised are AT WAR with the rich and wealthy. Of course these people have no recourse for representation from the elite, nor do they have police protection. After years of struggles with police and politicians, I find it insulting to claim that any engagements are terrorism, and that all of it is under the pretense of war. Just look at the locations of these events...

> Their only long-term effect was the further marginalization of the political left in the USA, as they became associated with violence.

Actually the labour movements had gotten the most concessions out of government between 1918 and 1940. If you disagree, again, feel free to explain how labour laws inhibit society from being truly free/prosperous.

> Terrorism gave us nothing except fear, violence, and death. In every place it has shown up it has actively worked against the causes it purports to advance (see: OWS and rioting).

OWS are terrorists? Now I know you're a shill. People should really take note of these type of subtle propoganda, and get informed. http://www.iww.org/
