Ford and GM have been selling supercharged vehicles since the 80's. GM doing it in their standard family sedan lines across their many brands. Supercharging is a bit easier to manage and pull off in terms of emissions and packaging. The power gains are not as great (when comparing an Eaton supercharger (what they used commonly) to a turbocharger of relevant size (I think a T3 turbo in .42 trim would compare). They are very reliable, and do not need the same service intervals as turbos. Due to how the engine oil is simply not "cooked" inside a hot turbine when the engine is shut off.

One interesting point is that none of the American manufacturers has paid much attention to centrifugal superchargers. The only centrifugal supercharger equipped auto I remember working on was the VW Corrado G60.

A bounty program is to get 'white hat' hackers to find and report vulnerabilities. The bounty is small, nowhere near what an extortionist could charge to keep the source secret for instance.

By paying nothing for what could have been sold back to them for a huge sum, they may disaffect hackers, who could do them real harm. You become a sucker to volunteer for their 'bounty', and decide to turn to the dark side instead.

I think Prezi are very silly to be splitting hairs about this. They stuck the stick in the hornets' nest, now they are arguing with the hornets.

I agree that there is thin line dividing the positive or negative sentiment towards schooling here.

In some ways school was incredibly valuable, I met my co-founders at Rutgers and this class specifically helped develop the company.

At the same time the classwork was getting in the way and I needed to push it aside to help get the company off the ground.

> What I am saying in the comment is that I do not believe many people benefit that much from a formal approach to program development

A lot of systems would benefit from formal (or more formal) methods. I worked in aviation software, formal methods would have saved us so much trouble, especially since the code size is often relatively small (10k-200k LOC) and because we're dealing with other systems the IO spec was reasonably complete. Sure there'd be issues, but feature creep was not one of them (except on one project). Feature creep makes formalisms difficult, but only when you're looking at whole program formalisms. So certainly safety critical systems benefit.

What else might? How about medical systems (see Therac-25 for faulty UI leading to deaths). Network code, especially fundamentals like routers, switches and core services like DNS that so much depends on. Cryptographic and other security systems. Compilers, obviously, similar to network code they're too ubiquitous to be left to error prone ad hoc approaches. Anything handling money. Anything handling privacy (ensuring HIPAA and whatever European privacy rights). Software handling production automation or managing warehouses/inventory, failures there mean lost production time, wasted inventory, lots of money and productivity gains to be had by having software that works.

If you accept formal methods on the small scale (essentially the promise of functional programming a la Haskell and the ML family), you can be confident in composing large systems out of smaller, formally verified systems.
Yeah. I landed on the privileged end of this. I think my white privilege saved my ass in highschool.

I'm not sure they thought this through completely. As a person who owns a snake, I can tell you that convincing a snake to eat an already dead mouse, when they are not used to it, is not easy. They prefer live and warm prey. I'd be very surprised if this actually works with any amount of efficiency. Perhaps the brown tree snake is different than typical captive snakes, but in my opinion it would be only be more difficult to convince a wild snake to eat an already dead mouse.
In case you are as surprised as I was that they would bury the lede and not show the "parachute" or how they drop these in, here's a news story with a video: http://www.kuam.com/story/24108238/2013/12/02/dead-mice-bein...
I don't think it's fair to say the iphone form factor wasn't out there. There was a rich variety of full-screen touch or pen phones (palm, pocket pc, some one-off designs like the lg prada), and there were models designed with a capacitive screen. A lot of people were trying to corner the smartphone market by foregoing a physical keyboard. I still think palm's graffiti was a better way of inputing complex text than any smartphone on-screen keyboard.

It's not that nobody was trying to figure out how to build a smartphone with a big touchscreen, just that they were approaching it from the enterprise space. Usability wasn't important because it wasn't an enterprise selling point. Pen input was important because signature input was key for enterprise. Apple ignored enterprise at first and designed for the consumer market, which allowed for blasphemies like throwing out pen support. The big change was making smartphones a consumer product instead of an enterprise product.

Use of a subdomain prefix is absolutely the right thing to do, trendy root-domain-only sites notwithstanding.

CNAMEs are inherently more flexible and more resilient in the face of various load challenges or DoS attacks:

"Root domains are aesthetically pleasing, but the nature of DNS prevents them from being a robust solution for web apps. Root domains don't allow CNAMEs, which requires hardcoding IP addresses, which in turn prevents flexibility on updates to IPs which may need to change over time to handle new load or divert denial-of-service attacks. We strongly recommend against using root domains. Use a subdomain that can be CNAME aliased... "

It's a fair criticism. We really wanted to nail the very common use case of: "I put a small table in a blog post and I want it to be sortable and look good."

But I think you're right that it would be great to have a pairable tool which adds filtering and possibly another which adds client-side pagination.
I don't really know that that's a "theory". That's just how you scale, isn't it? "Common sense" works for a company of 25 people when the founder is directly involved with hiring and training of every person. It fails though when you employ 50,000 and the CEO turns over four times in a decade. Putting in "policies" and requiring adherence to these policies is a way to keep the train moving even when the CEO is fired/arrested/etc. "Just follow the SOP and you'll be fine."
Yes, you are right. It was the Rabbit diesel that started damaging the public's perception of diesel. But then GM, Volvo, and Ford kept the "flame" alive during the 80s.
I can see why they would want to set up rules instead of allowing anything to happen.

For example, if I was to set up a bounty I really wouldn't want people at random contacting current or former clients trying to phish for passwords; I completely understand this is a threat, but I would want to personally manage something like that.

With that said, if something like this was found I'd pay the person. There's a point where you just recognize "Oh shit, that's a big hole, pay the man.".

This is true, but both BTCChina and OKCoin have no option, but to start working with the Chinese government (BTCChina already started) and will provide control mechanisms, which isn't necessarily a bad news for Bitcoin as people try to present it. Also, due to major mining operations happening in China, there's inflow of capital to China, so, I don't think the government will have a problem with that.

There's a reason most boys gravitate towards guns, monster trucks and blow-em-ups. There's a reason why most girls gravitate towards dolls, ponies and puppy dogs. It's called evolution aka 200,000 years of it. Many iterations, regression testing etc.

Put quite simply, it works for the propagation of the species.

You can argue all you want with 200k years of evolution and or civilization, isn't going to change a thing. We are first and foremost made to procreate and natural systems are all about efficiencies - White Knights and Jezebels notwithstanding.

I was kinda iffy going into this article: I like Guy Kawasaki's stuff a lot, but it can tend to be a bit on the fluffy side, and "enchant" is one of those words that sends shivers down my back. Still, the actual meat and bones of his definition of 'enchanting' is solid and goes into a level of granularity significantly more actionable than "figure out a way to get your users to spend ridiculous amounts of time on your app, just like Twitter and Facebook did."
From the bottom of the comments on that issue:

sovereign> @drbrain It's a different approach, where a dependency resolver in runtime is no longer needed. I've been using that approach for the past six years, and during all that time I have been the happiest rubyist in town while my friends struggle with Bundler. The idea is to trade space for complexity. Once the gems are installed in isolation, there's no need for dependency resolution in runtime. </sovereign

Isn't the point of the Gemfile.lock that your dependencies are not resolved at runtime? If I've misunderstood I'd really appreciate an explanation of the difference compared to say NPM. I've also never seen any practical difference between NPM and Bundler and have often wondered why people like the NPM implementation so much.
Good question. I wonder if a captive snake is accustomed to knowing it'll be fed with some regularity, whereas a wild one is less certain if / when it'll find its next meal.

No one is trying to determine statistical significance here! Why the negativity?
that doesn't mean it's "better" than what it was

Robert Pirsig wrote a whole book on the nature of Quality...

In the evolutionary sense, "better" means "more fit for survival". Which is to say it's an empirical test. The adaptations which are the "best" are those which survive to create offspring.

In human affairs the question becomes more complex, and can be subjective. In part it depends on the environment and success criteria you've established. Are you trying to inform? To entertain? To be commercially successful? To pitch your startup? To expand your own understanding?

Not quite writing, but related: Jacob Nielsen's approach to Web UI testing is one that I've long been impressed by. Rather than dissect a design into its components and assess those individually, he has a very simple, and effective, test: assess the suitability to task of the interface. Define what it is you want the user to do and let them attempt to do it, using different designs. See which is the most successful. After you've identified which is better, you can look at the differences between the designs (or texts) and figure out why one succeeds where the other doesn't. It's simple, highly empirical, and, by focusing on goals rather than means wraps up a huge bundle of variables that would otherwise cloud assessment.

For the first several years of her life, I would not buy anything pink for my daughter. Her baby clothes were white and yellow and powder blue ( a great color for a red headed girl with blue eyes). Then when she got older it became harder to avoid pink in new clothes shops, so we went to second hand shops instead and found wonderful things like a dark purple dress with a metallic green waistband. We also always check the boys section for clothes that are not blatant marketing stuff and buy a few items for her, mostly darker colors.
Your brand name needs more than usability
This sends a worrying message to others - in future don't bother reporting vulnerabilities to Prezi, just obtain the source and sell exploits to the highest bidder.

It's no wonder security researchers turn to black hat methods, when they're treated/compensated like shit for their effort. "Swag" in return for your source code? What a joke
So I've never really understood how the products are differentiated from each other. If I bought Intellij IDEA, does that mean I can download free plugins to get the same functionality as PyCharm? Does PyCharm support Javascript? If I want to do Django and Javascript, do I need to buy IDEA?
Note that your own source is more or less not a rebuttal, certainly not enough to call the 'PBR' an "imaginary fact". From it I would draw the following conclusions instead:

0. It is a Letter To The Editor in a scientific journal, rather than a paper. I believe that such letters are typically less thoroughly peer reviewed, which the tone of language used also supports.

1. "Paoletti herself never endorsed the PBR in her own articles and book"

2. she made the weaker claim that the gender coding of pink and blue was inconsistent —not reversed— at the beginning of the twentieth century and that the current pink-blue convention only became dominant in the 1950s

3. That we may not be able to establish any political motivations behind some quotes used to support PBR/inconsistency

4. That an automated review of a corpus of literature from 1800 to present for /a very specific form of wording/ may indicate that Pink and Blue historically over this period had the current meaning

That final point is the weakest. Searching for a specific phrase would always carry with it a risk of excluding related phrases that are hard to automatically include. Languages change over time as well, so this may mean that the phrases themselves gained new meaning. There is also the question of the items that make up the caucus - do they accurately represent the popular culture of their publish date? And any given book may not have same weight in the culture of the time as any other.

But perhaps more worryingly, the letter states the caucus consisted of over 5 million books. Yet the percentages that are then used, eg 0.000003%, are completely and utterly meaningless for any caucus under roughly 35 million (if I've got the maths right).

Indeed, paracetamol (as most of the world calls it) is highly toxic to many species - while people have a small tolerance to it, there are many documented cases of people suffering fatal liver damage through doses only just above the maximum daily dose of, typically, 4g. Domestic cats can die from simply licking tablets due to their extreme sensitivity - which sounds more sensitive than snakes, making them not 'unique' either.

I'm extremely sceptical of a claim of '500' published in that context - to the point of thinking that sounds positively reckless and liable to make people take extremely dangerous doses in the belief that huge numbers are needed to present any risk.

In the UK, packages can only be purchased in maximum quantities of 16 tablets and maximum 2 boxes per purchase to reduce the risk of both accidental and deliberate overdosage (with a significant decrease in overdose incidents as a result).

In order to build a truly compelling service that solved our problems, along with others was to allow collaboration and sharing. Right now Dropbox has no way to share within sandbox style applications.

We have been talking with Dropbox about ways to improve their API and things are only getting better.

Right now we maintain the NodeJS API[1][2] and have sandboxing build in at that layer, so we don't even see any files from Dropbox outside of the folder we have scoped to.

IMHO it's time to stop using "modern" as the tag for the art of the late twentieth century and find a new name - but yes. n.n
I was fortunate in that, when I was recognized as a special case in elementary school (in Broward County), my parents were well-enough known at the school that I was able to get special arrangements. It was also 1988 and thus before public education administration really started going south. I also was not the type to push rules, which no doubt made things easier as well.

Still, as an "exception" I got lumped into the ESE bucket with every other kid, regardless of reason, that did not fit the mainstream path.

Interesting. I've recently set aside a ThreeJS project. I'm not a math wiz but even with Three, you still need some idea about matricies, vectors and even quaternions. The way you're "supposed" to do collision detection with Three is with raycasting, so more fun with vectors and matricies. I thought I had scaled down enough other things for prototyping but perhaps there was more room than what I thought.

Large tech companies routinely run pentest exercises against themselves that involve phishing their own employees. Good security has to include educating the human element as well: if you have great technical security but all you have to do to get in is ask an employee their password, you've lost.

Large companies also invest significantly in protection against massive DDoS and power cuts to the building, along with drills for earthquakes and zombie apocalypses.
Your posts continue to be dominated by argument for the subject matter, when we are now discussing discourse. Restricting my discussion our point of contention:

"There's ... a lot of history behind that term."

There is practically no history behind the term "libertardian": https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=libertardian - there is arguably history behind libertarians being wrong (which is what you go on to talk about), but that does not in any way motivate the specific term.

"My experiences in both dealing with present-day defenders of Libertarianism and in going to its roots, foundations, and the considerable machinations behind it have lead me to conclude that most of those who defend the tradition 1) fail to understand it and/or know its roots, 2) lack the ability to do so, 3) are paid for their opinions, and/or 4) fully understand the inherent contradictions but find it convenient and in their interest to promulgate a false philosophy for their own benefit."

And considering those people, which of them are going to be inclined to "see the light" because you called them a "libertardian"? How many are just going to stop listening to you? How many non-libertarians are going to start ignoring your criticisms of libertarianism because you are being disrespectful and offputting?

"At which point the respect I show rapidly dwindles."

And the point at which you stop showing respect is the point at which I start calling you out for it on HN.
