After everything we've seen from Edward Snowden, and the scale to which countries are sharing data about their citizens together without our knowledge, I think it's safe to assume that governments don't give a crap about our privacy, and are sharing everything. Fool me once, etc.
What worries me is that those with a mental illness will stop presenting themselves for care because they will be concerned that it will be used against them. This is what happened here, after all!

When someone breaks up with you, do you believe them when they say "Its not you, its me!"? Lesson 1: Be skeptical. Lesson 2: Be really skeptical of humans offering insight into the real motivations for their own actions.

Lets go into detail on this. If you're going for a job interview, you don't get the job, and you're given some feedback, several rather unlikely things have to line up for that feedback to be truthful, useful, and accurate.

1. The interviewer has to actually be able to accurately gauge the metric they think they're measuring (and most interviews don't).
2. The interviewer has to actually be relying primarily on that metric (and most interviews aren't.)
3. The interviewers have to actually be able to have the insight to know the real reason you aren't given the job (and most people don't have good insight into why they make decisions, and there's often a layer of bureaucracy involved as well)
4. The interviewer has to actually be able to tell you the real reason you aren't given the job (they can't tell you if the reason is illegal, or if circumstances have changed, or if someone is trying to save face/not admit something...)

How can I put this gently. Its all bullshit.

Could I be wrong? Sure, but if you're a betting person, I know which way I'd bet...
Not the person whom you asked, but I'm getting the same issue on up-to-date mobile Chrome on Note 3 standard build android 4.3

Surprisingly also getting the issue is the Samsung browser on the same android 4.3 phone.
Other option is a Android "TV Stick" off Ali Express or Ebay, they run 4.1.1 and you can just install the plex app on it and use a remote... also stick a 32GB SD card in it and when you go away to a hotel just take the stick with you can find the HDMI socket. You can also install the Wifi-direct and Airplay apps on it which enable it to receive airplay and miracast signals. Not back for $40....
I love this. I wish I had known.

> Someone getting treatment means they can stay alive, and have a decent quality of life.

If they would die otherwise or have a terrible quality of life, then yes, it's worth seeking treatment regardless of any stigma. But many people who seek treatment would not die or suffer serious harm otherwise; mental illness is not some kind of 100% death sentence, and it comes in a range of severities. Whether seeking treatment reduces or increases future risk becomes extremely sensitive to the precise condition, and estimates of the likely benefits and... anti-benefits of treatment. And that depends in part on the country and the legal regime.

The UK and US have some anti-discrimination laws. In addition to those, they have laws actively mandating discrimination against people who have been diagnosed with a mental illness, in a wide range of legal situations. Therefore it is critical that anyone who is considering applying that label to themselves, in such countries, considers the legal ramifications. Perhaps we'd like to live in a world where "seek professional advice, this is always the right decision and won't be held against you" were true, but in the US/UK, at least, it is not. Those countries choose, deliberately, to hold such diagnoses against people who receive them.

In other countries, like the Nordic countries, I would give the opposite advice. If you are a Norwegian citizen, seeking professional advice is nearly always the correct decision, because the care is good (and free), and the downsides minimal and strongly policed.
Realized this late , but saving lot of time since past 6 months . Deactivated facebook , and find more time to actually go out and socialize. Don't even know if it was adding to efficiency.
I totally agree, you should try an Android TV stick with Plex app on (see my comment above)

The N40L is pretty dam silent, it just sits behind my couch. Uses a touch more power but it doesn't struggle like those NAS's sometimes do with certain apps.
Part of the performance is algorithmic. Mixing Boyer-Moore and regexes isn't elementary. However, the knowledge is available for anyone keen to apply it.
I know. Realistically little would happen, but people would make a lot of noise for a while, thinking that something is happening.
Just adding that the RasPi power supply is a standard micro-USB so if you happen to have one already (old phone or tablet charger?) and a spare SD card (old camera?) then you don't even need to pick those up.

Heck even the case isn't strictly necessary. I've got a similar setup at home and for quite a while mine was hanging off the back of my TV on a short HDMI cable.
I think you'll find a really big bottleneck if you're using NZB (with NZget or SabNZB). Even my NAS is too slow to give me the maximum speed of my fiber optic internet connection :( (stuck at 9MB/s)
Yes, I am following that course, thank you! Although due to crunch at work I am not doing assignments for this one.
As I answered above to another commenter with a similar question, JavaScript is a dynamically typed language and representing dynamic values in a statically typed language requires a bit of thinking, and unions are a common way of doing this.

thomas jefferson high? i have many successful friends who went to that school!

this is a great first start. i agree with mcallan83. if there is a way to start mobile first then web, that's where i would head. i'm going through tons of trouble trying to now strip out all poorly coded responsive design into mobile friendly view then stripping out a lot then creating responsive design again. www.reppio.com (you can see that my web is in pretty good shape. and now spending bunch of money to make mobile looking good!!!

plus, the way you should think for the foreseeable future (chance is that you won't create a legit business over the next 3-4 years because you have a ton of other skills to learn). however, during those years it's going to be all mobile/tablet first for most industries and for most people.

another advice i can give you is not go to just one type of forum to seek advice (e.g. hacker news has a lot of "hackers." but there may be other types of people you want to hit up. diversity/asking people you'd never do business with or hang out with or really cared much about, you should learn design, customer psychology, all of these things by constantly asking for feedback from a variety of people. you'd be amazed at how many people at cafes to classmates will give you the 5 min you need to learn something new about how different people are in the way they think.

lastly, i would study up on design trends as much as i would study code. for example, flat design with color palattes and fonts that match with those colors and theme---> branding is really hard to get but very important. most people don't get it so better to start early because it'll help you in the way you design, the way you learn to tell your story and probably the way you structure the pages.
But Dan, that's the problem. It appears that here at least, there is a problem whereby U.S. law actively discriminates against those who have had a mental illness. If the law discriminates against you, then it might be sometimes better not to get help.

That's the concern. I have depression, and it's made me pause. I live in Australia - who knows what information the Australian government is sharing with the U.S.?

This right here is where we start to mix up two totally different things by using the same words for them.

This thread is talking about two completely different types of Equals; we shouldn't be using the same word for them and certainly not the same function name in code:

- SomeString1.Equals(SomeString2) -> are all the bytes in array 1 equal to the bytes in array 2?

- HumanSimilarity(t1, t2) - given text s1 and text s2, give me a number that tells me how similar a person would perceive these strings to be. You could even go further:

SimilarityForReaderInLocale(locale, t1, locale1, t2, locale2) - for a human reader in locale, given text t1 written by a human in locale1 and text t2 written by a human in locale2, how similar would the reader perceive these two pieces of text?

When we talk about 'least surprise' in manipulations, what I think we really mean is that text manipulation should be defined by a locale; no actually, a superset of a locale. That superset being your typical human reader in that locale.
The IU is sped up in RASPLEX if if you use a a fast USB drive for PLEX. That is easy to do. And like I said. Use the iOS or Android app to control the Pi. It should just see it.

The server part is what I love about Plex. I can get halfway through a movie on the bus home and pick up exactly where I left off when I get home to finish on the Pi. And it does things like suggest what you should watch next.

How many "western countries" (whatever that means these days) actually have black lists? Because Canada and the US do not, as the Internet is all provided by non-gov't telco's. Chinatel is the only telco in China allowed to have international trunks, and Chinatel is 51% owned by the gov't. No one even knows how many international trunks Canada and the US even have, as they aren't regulated. At least mostly. In Canada, long distance phone carriers must register. But data over fibre is totally unregulated.

That's not how you cache. You shouldn't have any 304s for images, js or CSS. If you are, your setup is wrong.

Mark minified js & CSS with a file hash in the path or query string & serve a far future expires header. Browser won't even 304 it and serve straight from local cache.

Friends and family funding is indeed very common in startups and small businesses. Over 40% of businesses started from borrowing money from friends and family. The rules are very simple: 1) make sure they can afford to lose the money; 2) have a formal agreement and make it professional, set the right expectation, and communicate the risks upfront; 3) keep them informed on your business status, give them regular updates regardless whether it's a good or bad news. Even though this sounds easy, the actual fundraising process can be very tedious. You can get a lawyer to help you but that will cost you a lot of money. The best way is get use the tools online, like http://kickstarter.com, or this one http://trustleaf.com which is specialized in friends and family funding.

Interesting. I did some digging and have a few follow ups:

1) Bid Ask spreads vary by exchange and currency, but it seems that with the exception of BT China an MtGox, the bid ask spreads can be quite wide. Prices for BTC/USD also very a good bit by exchange, meaning the price a merchant sets might be influenced by which exchange they use.

[1] http://bitcoinwatch.com

2) The MtGox live chart seems to imply that an order of a few bitcoins (or a few thousand dollars) could have a profound impact on the actual price of BTC/USD. This does not seem particularly liquid to me, unless I misunderstand the chart.

What if you gradually introduce more and more complicated games? Start with Pong, then PacMan, Super Mario World, etc etc until you get to today's games, which are far more complicated and more importantly, very realistic.

I consider it a sign of a good idea when someone else has beaten you to it. Some of the XXX cam sites draw people in by allowing non-paying users to watch and chat, and once you get involved, you pay only for what you use.

I sold a business about ten years ago, and netted about 2M from the sale. Not lifetime FU money, but definitely life altering. The main thing I appreciated about it was being able to choose what I worked on and with whom, and being able to avoid toxic people. I never considered not working, although it was nice to take a few months off to travel.

The basic advice I have to anyone who suddenly comes into money is to be quiet about it. It can create all sorts of social barriers and awkward situations, especially if you hang out with people who work in fields where getting rich is not an option (i.e. teachers).
