The Internet does accelerate the death of languages. Isolation created divergence, instant participatory communication will erase those differences. There is simply too much overhead to continue translating new terms (e.g. smartphone) which build on other English connotations. I wonder how the Académie_française does its job.

Movies and TV did this too, but being broadcast media, they could - with state support - throw a fig leaf for "regional" languages.
You have a major flaw in your logic.

There are 3 actors:

S -- the security apparatus, the TSA, airlines, the state, the laws and rules they create, air marshals, NSA etc.).

A -- attackers

E -- everyone else, regular passengers

The flaw is that E is stupid, static, unable to learn form the past, need to be constantly protected by S.

A is smart, flexible, able to adapt and learn from mistakes ("ha we took X planes down, now we learned and we'll take X*5 planes down!").

S is also responsible, smart, it needs to act as a parent protecting and handling E. It also learns from the past, and if necessary it might impose arbitrary restrictions on E (security checks, black lists) in order to protect them from A.

You see the problem? Don't feel bad that is a very common mistake to make. Many people and the official reaction from S also follows the same logic (maybe you just internalized their PR?).

In fact not only did E learn better and was more effective, it has a track record to prove it. It immediately adapted (within hours!) and made sure to bring the plane down in a rural PA area not in NYC. TSA on the other hand, after years, billions of dollars and millions of man hours wasted still has not caught one single terrorist red-handed with a bomb ready to go off. (Granted other agencies from S foiled some plots). E has also been busy, they stopped Reid (the shoe bomber, if I am not mistaken).

Anyway, hopefully you see where I am going with this.

The fun question - where did the money go? We actually know part of the answer - to the pensioners.

The pension plans were funded based on a certain average rate of return. Whenever the yearly rate of return exceeded this amount, pensioners and workers received a "13th paycheck". Whenever the rate of return was below the average, they didn't.

http://www.mlive.com/news/detroit/index.ssf/2013/10/10_thing...

Either the politicians involved were utterly innumerate, or else they were rewarding their cronies (i.e. pensioners) in the hopes of receiving votes. They made their bed, let them lie in it.
Parcel: evening package deliveries for New Yorkers without doormen
It's way more than a simple dropbox client, it's a integrator of those all cloud storages out there. Pretty useful, have been looking for something like that.

One downside is that there is no Linux version planned (right?).

One thing: "Your first 2 accounts are absolutely free!". What 2 accounts exactly means? Is it linking 2 accounts of those services (like Google Drive and Dropbox)?

Another: on the pricing page, "Perpetual updates" is a pro of getting a paid subscription. How limited is the free version in terms of upgrades?

If that's legal, then I'm confused over the problem. Why not just start with a single address and increase by the amount requested each time? It pushes any difficulty off to the implementation of free, right?
Great concept, but terribly buggy for me at the moment. Will come back later to try again.
> Why do you want the Markdown at all?

Because you always want to depend on abstraction, not concretion. If you have a whole bunch of data, and you know that all the data has 7 fields and none of the entries in field 3 are null, then that's much easier to work with if you don't know how many fields are in your data at all, or if some of the data has 9 fields and some of it has 3. If you have this situation, then you have to take an extra step to clean your data before you can reason about it properly.

The HTML you get when you go to a web page is anything but an abstraction of a data type. If you want it to get that way, now we're back to telling the whole web how to make web pages.

typo on your front page: "We even supports"
Cool! I think that's a great idea.

Also, I really would try to smooth out the login flow even for a POC. If I accidentally enter an old code (even if it's 5 minutes) it won't let me in. That seems OK. However, what happens next is I copy the correct/latest code, but the UI asks for my email again to send another code. When I paste in the code I have copied, it's invalid yet again.
Is Social Security mandatory? I've been wondering about this.
> you have to know the language quite well to be able to avoid the parts that require runtime support.

This isn't really true, it turns out :) I've only spent about a week using Rust. I spend a ton of time in #rust asking questions, and everyone's been really helpful. The maintainer of rust-core (the library that lets you not require runtime support) hangs out in #rust all the time and has been wonderful about answering all my questions about it.

Right, and then there's this. But employers do give a shit about GPA when recruiting college seniors, because it represents one of the only available metrics for quality of work. In my experience, providing employers with other metrics reduces the value they place on GPA.
Another cool thing about writing Rust is that the language is really alpha, so you'll run into language bugs or rough spots if you use it seriously for any amount of time (like a week).

I do consider that. I am baffled that people are willing to go to the mattresses over something that they don't object to, but which they argue is unimportant to them. That they spend time arguing not 'this is something I think is bad' but 'how dare you spend time on this thing I find unimportant!'
You can squeeze a few thousand retired civil servants, but you can't squeeze all of America. The only solution to an impending Social Security crisis is "monetary easing".
No offense taken. I wasn't sure it was a new idea, just one that I had trouble finding demonstrated anywhere. I couldn't find any simple web site demonstrating just this one single idea, separated from a lot of other issues, so I made this.

Flask-Security looks like a good solution to every new web site having to roll their own code. BTW, It's not clear from Flask-Security that there is a no-password option given that the user model has a password field required.
What The Information Means For The Future Of Tech Journalism
We have this in the US as well. ERISA and similar laws are the specific regulation. After ERISA and the like were passed, companies generally transitioned from defined benefit to defined contribution pensions since defined benefit pensions were too expensive when honestly accounted for.

Government agencies (except for the USPS) are exempt from these regulations.
This is easy because typically your best work is put out in public. This is rather difficult with most company source code. Also copywriting is probably not a team effort.

It's (obviously) Cisco-centric, but networking isn't.
In the US it is generally called employer matching. This benefit is starting to be harder to come buy and some people are "grandfathered in" but many companies do have a matching plan to contribute additional money to an employee's 401k, 403b, pension plans, etc.

Some do percentage matching up to a certain percentage of employee's pay. Other do percentage matching up to a certain dollar amount. Some do a hard dollar amount. Some do dollar amount or percentage matching based on years of service. Some do "as profits allow." Some do nothing.

You are correct that this money is only to the retirement account, it would not otherwise be cash in hand at a paycheck.

> Reading without moving your lips was considered an exceptional skill during the middle ages (or so I've heard).

You are refering to what contemporaries wrote about Thomas Aquinas, a well-renowned theologist in medieval era. I believe he was considered a genius because he could read without moving your lips.

While it is a good food for thought for intellectual capabilities, one should also take note that in his time books were not what books as we know. No typography existed and whitespacing blocks between words were non-existent. Truly, they were mostly transcribed words with sometimes bad spelling and without a paragraph break. To read without reading out aloud meant that the reader had a mental capability to quickly parse out words, form a sentence, understand what the author meant out of context.
We're actually working on both Linux and Mac clients right now; we just started with Windows.

Right now, you can add two different services for free, adding more requires a subscription - we're still trying to figure out exactly what the right pricing model is.

We don't currently plan on limiting the free version in any way, or not providing updates and bugfixes in future (beyond the two-services limit), our wording could be better here.
I just fixed it, thanks!
It's a good thing evolution doesn't work that quickly. Selection has less of an effect than you portray in this case. If it were true, it would be all middle-eastern countries winning the olympic events.
I've found Rust to be great at avoiding allocations.

You can return a pre-allocated buffer to be shared by all callers from a function in a safe way that prevents interference between callers. The callers only get to keep it for a limited time (region, actually), but usually that's no issue.

In exchange, the callers are gauranteed that the returned buffer contents can't be modified by any other part of the program while it is borrowed.

Here's some code for multiplying some polynomial vectors which uses this style, without allocating (except for a single initial allocation of the buffer):

https://github.com/scharris/WGFEM-Rust/blob/master/weak_grad...

Line 275: The structure holding the buffer and on which the operations are implemented.

Line 287: the buffer field

Line 297: The operation returning a structure (by value) which has an immutable "borrow" of the shared buffer. It's lifetime is tagged with lifetime 'a, tied to the lifetime of the implementing object.

Line 319: The buffer being included in the return value.

I really like the pattern. Get the efficiency of not allocating, kindof like old school libraries like LAPACK, without doing things like writing over your inputs :)
I wish I would of though of this, pretty clever idea.
Part of that schooling involves intense preparation for tests put forth by the state before you are even legally allowed to perform the work you've been studying for.
This can be done today using kvm's memory ballooning. Essentially, you install a driver in the guest VM and it takes care of (1) reclaiming RAM from the guest OS when the host OS needs more; and (2) providing more RAM to the guest if needed and available.

Define "enterprise quality"? A lot of people use the term to describe a "web scale" type of application, but in my experience, "enterprise quality" requires less scaling and more enterprisey features, like log auditing, AD/LDAP authentication, etc.

As for a book on the subject, I don't know of any off the top of my head, but there are resources aplenty online.

I would suggest that if you're leaning towards the latter definition of 'Enterprise', your Wordpress experience isn't going to factor in very much. That said, for the most part, Enterprise web apps mostly tend to be CRUD-based applications with a little bit of specialized business logic -- a framework like Django or Rails is probably ideal for this, though bear in mind, that limits your target audience -- which brings up another question -- who are you building this for? Are you wanting to sell it, or is it for your current employer?

If the former, you'll have to evaluate your customer size. Enterprise customers aren slightly harder to sell to if your application doesn't conform to their application stack -- this means eschewing Django or Rails for Java, in a lot of cases.

If the answer is the latter though, then you should find out what languages and technologies your company allows, and target that as your starting point -- then look for "building applications with insert language here" type of books.

All in all, good luck.
Have you tested making "loops" with larger frame counts by example printing out a strip and taping the ends together and spinning it to create a movie effect? Does that make sense?
Yep, you just said that!
They should have instead used digest to store and transfer the email addresses.
I have a question...how big is the backend to this site? Its average response is about 100ms, which, to me, seems impressively fast considering the number of bulk records and the amount of concurrent traffic that such a site is getting. Besides the obvious indexing of the email field...anything special behind the curtains? Lots of machines? Something else besides a simple key lookup? Or am I just vastly overestimating how slowly a properly maintained DB will respond in such a situation?
Classic case of the short-sightedness that is endemic in our economy. Management argues for larger pension benefits at the expense of salary increases. Who cares if they aren't realistic long-term? The bottom-line is that they look awesome at the end of the year and get fat bonuses. Of course they leave before the sh*t hits the fan, and the workers who traded those raises for later get shafted when these giant pools of money fail to materialize or were poorly managed.
I see. Any pointers to a cheap payroll processing company?
The 24-Hour Beef Jerky Business Challenge
If a job is so simple, repetitive and brainless that it can be automated, it's in humanity's best interest that it gets automated, and people are freed to do something more useful. Yes, this will suck if you're 50 years old and get laid off the assembly line, but we've been automating jobs out of existence for a few centuries now and the overall consequences have not been particularly terrifying.
> Are you joking? Because even $2000 iMacs come with mobile GPUs. Not to mention CPUs that cannot be overclocked etc.
That's comparable to a high-end gaming laptop, not a PC.

And what's wrong with high-end gaming laptops? My $1000 MacBook Pro has played everything I've thrown at it acceptably well, and it's not even particularly high-end. It's no longer the mid-90s, when you needed a new $2000 rig every year to keep up with current releases. For the typical gamer, overclocking your CPU hasn't been worth the effort in years.

It's interesting to me that the blanking events are grouped together and mostly in the beginning. My best guess is that the monitor adjusts some timings and eventually gets it right, and whenever it's turned off it has to figure out the timings all over again.

Hi, if you are on your OPT and have an H1b pending, you can extend your OPT until October 1. Depends when in April your OPT expires but H1bs must be filed by April 1 so you could very well utilize that opportunity.

Depending on the country of citizenship, you could consider an E2 visa also.

I am a strong advocate for the Startup visa which would have helped you.

I assist startup founders with visa options and would be happy to help.
My previous startup was based in the US and our investors were in Europe. The time difference wasn't an issue at all, an inconvenience at most (getting on a 7am call after a coding marathon, we've all been there).

What I learned from getting an investor from Europe is lack of connections in the SV/USA which could be a disadvantage for some startups.
Thanks for the feedback.

You're correct - it does map Dropbox, Google Drive and Box to removable drives on Windows, and it also allows you to mix multiple accounts from (say) Dropbox so you can have a work and personal account mounted at the same time. It's not currently a webapp, although we have plans to create one.

I was going to reply with just this. Detroit ran out of money because it was routinely overpaying pensioners for decades. The people who are suffering are the people who've not yet received any pension that they were promised. Many people who were already getting pensions were getting more than they were promised, causing (in part) the bankruptcy.

The simplest allocator ever is this:

void *malloc(int size) {
static long nextAddress = BASE_ADDRESS;
void *ptr = (void *)nextAddress;
nextAddress += size;
return ptr;
}

void free(void *ptr) {
return;
}

Using that will last you a long time in writing a toy operating system kernel. Of course, it will eventually run out of memory pages, but that shouldn't happen until your system has been running for a long time.

The CS department at my alma mater did require the ETS Computer Science Field Exam for graduation. The results are interesting as you can compare your personal score against students from several dozen other universities as well as your department's score.

All the noise about standardized testing aside, I think that this sort of thing should be required for anyone to get a degree. I've met far too many people with Master's degrees who seem easily confused by basic math and science.

The fact that there aren't any measurable standards that go beyond the institutional level really dilutes the value of a degree.

The first time that jemalloc got removed was because our red zones were simply too small for it to work. The second time that it got removed was because somehow Rust was using jemalloc to allocate some memory and, once in a while, an entirely different allocator to free that memory (this is likely the terrifying bug that you remember).
Everyone is clearly reading too much into the question. There is no shepherd. Our fictional herd here is actually an allegory for the struggle between the lower class "the sheep" and the upper class "the dogs". A sheep can only do as a sheep does, and despite its best efforts can never ever be a dog. The belief that there is a shepherd, there to control the dogs, is a false hope given to the sheep by the dogs themselves.

Besides, even if there was a shepherd, what do you think happens to the sheep anyway? That's right.
