It is definitely going to change at some time, IBM already has a prototype of JVM supporting object packing and fine-grained alignment control.

shared_ptr use is limited because shared_ptr is slow and people learned to avoid it at all cost. But having to think about ownership influences design choices and often makes things more complex and less performant that needed (e.g. it often forces to copy objects instead to just pass a pointer).
Actually Fargo is a city growing incredibly rapidly and it has nothing to do with oil:

http://www.fargomonthly.com/blog/boom/

$44,564 – The average annual wage in Fargo, according to Job Services ND. The average for North Dakota is $49,088. The national average is $42,979.

121,017 – The civilian labor force in the Fargo metro area as of June 2013, according to Job Service ND. There are 4,344 unemployed people creating an unemployment rate of 3.6 percent.

6,713 – Number of Fargo jobs advertised online as of Aug. 11, 2013, according to Jobs Service ND.

87,347 - The total number of employees in Fargo, according to Jobs Services ND.

Add in the fact the cost of living is probably the lowest in the country and you have a great recipe for success, even for people who have been unemployed for a long time. If I had been unemployed for a while, Fargo would be the first place I would start looking.
wait wait wait where did you get the internal documentation for express?
I dunno where the SAP hate comes from. In my days of AT&T, SAP was the best thing going on. It was the one thing that actually worked reliably. I loved using ABAP and SAPjCO[1] to do all kinds of cool things. I thought the design of SAP was amazing for the complexities it had to deal with. Of course, our HRP1001 table had over 8 million rows. Someone probably had to buy some very expensive hardware to keep SAP running fast.

P.S., I wish other programming languages would consider implementing a table variable like ABAP has; allowing me to run SQL against it. http://sap-core.com/articles/basis/abap/abap-variables/
Lots do, I'm guessing. The location and the work is undesirable.

But an observer who can see traffic between most Tor nodes doesn't need to run Tor relays to do attack scenario 2). I'm not sure how far that gets you, though. Maybe 2) in combination with just a few honeypot nodes would be most effective. And in any case, NSA can certainly rent an essentially-unlimited number of cloud server instances under a front company, no?
Guns, Germs, and Steel is a super compelling read. It addresses productivity in the large (not in the small), but not laziness I think. I'm not sure how relevant it is to exploring individuals in a population as it is to looking at productivity of larger populations throughout history.

Spoiler: GG&S ends up arguing that the answer to why some countries are more productive than others is historical geographical circumstance, particularly because of access to large grains and domesticate-able animals which propelled some early cultures into agriculture and the rest is history.
Will that data be as "secure" from the US government as their banking information is these days?

http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/12/11/us-tax-switzerland...

Also, remember when Switzerland helped the US government by banning Assange's account? So much for having a "strong reputation" in data protection.

If they are really serious about this, good on them. But one should approach them with a little skepticism given their not so flawless track record.
Harder to fake, but not necessarily hard. Remember that any and all security measures on an ID card, no matter how fancy, can be circumvented by a corrupt insider. (This is how the 9/11 hijackers got their "fake" IDs, for example.)
If people willingly choose to be unemployed for $15,000/yr (as an example income), that's fine. There's no reason we need to be at 100% employment. Some amount of the population just doesn't need to work.

The problem is, basic income will likely lead to inflation. The government would need to control prices in the necessities market (food, rent, utilities, etc) to make basic survival possible on $15,000. The price of luxuries can go up as long as necessities are affordable.

There's your incentive. You can survive on the basic income, but if you want any luxuries, you have to have a job. That way the people who don't want to contribute to society are taken care of, and there's an incentive to actually get a job paying more than $15,000. I'm sure we've all heard stories about families on welfare buying expensive toys, TVs, Xbox, dirtbikes, cable TV, etc. If we want to get rid of that, welfare needs to pay exactly what it costs to survive, and nothing more.
Possibly composted. That's about it.
6MB, 150 files, interminably slow load times, a crazy-looking, complicated, Java-inspired API, and poor text contrast? Yeah, that's about what I was expecting from a UI toolkit from SAP. Makes me sad.
That's why I said "splice an array" rather than "iterate", actually. Whenever I'm interviewing someone and they choose a language with a "foreach", I mentally deduct a point if they insist on iterating over an array with the C-style 3-element for loop even so.
It should be if it were spoken that way, otherwise it's not accurate. Of course, that could depend on the context of the quote. If you are just communicating the information given then, sure, correct for grammar and whatnot. If it's to communicate the personality and/or attitude of the person, then you quote verbatim as it was said. That's why the term "sic" exists for quoting people, you are acknowledging that it is known the quoted statement appears incorrect. Because that's the way it was stated.
It would be interesting to see what the socioeconomic/educational attainment breakdown of the long-term unemployed looks like (Link anyone?).

I think the assumption is that most of people in this group are unskilled high-school drop outs but I wonder how many of them "have some college" or a degree and are just unwilling to "lower themselves" to working on an oil pipeline or any other kind of work associated with being blue collar. The assumption that people will take any job they can get, at least in my experience, is just plain wrong. For instance (I know this is just anecdotal) but I know quite a few people in NYC who attended elite schools that are perfectly happy to collect unemployment while they wait for a high prestige job opening (e.g. "I'm waiting for the New Yorker to have a job opening"). The thought that a government grant would get these people to go work in an oil field in South Dakota is absurd most of them are horrified at the thought of leaving Brooklyn. I was thinking of this article from Mike Rowe:

http://profoundlydisconnected.com/cnn-viewer-has-questions/

"Right now, in the manufacturing sector alone, 600,000 jobs are currently available."

If that is indeed the case there is something else going on.
That's a problem I find with a lot of these activities. There is some good stuff, mixed in with a lot of mystical / new age bullshit.
The situation with natives is a far cry from the systematic and pervasive problems with racism against African Americans in the US. Natives are such a small percentage of the population in Canada, and certainly in urban centres, that no especially abusive laws have been constantly set up over the years in order to keep them at what is considered the appropriate station in society. Think of the hundred years of Jim Crow laws in the US, and the even current attempt to disenfranchise them during every election through voter registration laws and voter list deletions. It is simply not comparable.
The death of physical media means one rarely watches the same film more than once or listens to the whole album. Something is definitely lost. Especially with music, where an album can take a couple listens to really like it. That said, I'm not sure how you fix it. And most people I know listen to iTunes radio or Pandora anyway.

While it's obvious to you and I standing here examining it that
it's a prop gun, if it were being wielded in a threatening
manner, it would be far less obvious, and it's reasonable to
assume that it could be perceived as a real threat.

Given the fact that there are several models of gun that small that are quite capable of killing you, that seems like a pretty reasonable argument to me.

It is fairly easy and still truthful to include Google in these headlines. In this case it is very easy since Google runs buses, Google's uses public bus stops and protesters protested Google's buses.

I am sure we will get some inaccurate reporting, but it happens to a lot of groups (e.g. Occupy, Tea Party, Apple), and this particular article is actually very sympathetic towards Google[1].

"blame the victim"

Under even the most generous eyes, I fail to see how Google is a victim. If we were talking the fraud the protesters tried, then yes, Google is the victim, but not for the buses in the first place.

1) quote: "The frustration with Google's buses is misplaced"
If your new work is more than 50 miles from your old work, you can write the moving expenses off your taxes. I'm not a tax expert, but I believe that is still correct.
Same here. I'm also from Portugal, and I lived with someone with heroin addiction. The fact that he didn't have to fear getting locked up for using was essential in getting him to get help. He's not the perfect citizen now, but he has been clean for years.
Or simply, ignorance of the fact that there's real opportunity there.

How would an unemployed person find out such a thing? His nearest social circle would likely not know such a thing, and this is not the sort of thing you randomly find out.
Even with spotify access, I really don't like the way those deals are going. Soon we'll need spotify for LZ, itunes for TB, let's say Google music for ACDC, etc. In reality this means only one thing: instead of paying for access, people will choose one or two providers and just torrent the unavailable albums. This is not beneficial to any of the groups involved (unless the streaming providers count on people paying for multiple subscriptions).

How many years will have to pass before publishers / authors really get what people expect and are willing to pay for?
You are of course correct. Clearly a couple of faulty brain cells in those memories.
Hi quesera, thanks for asking.

This is somewhat wrong: Ghostery, ever since version 1, had Ghostrank feature in it. It has always been an opt-in deal, the users who trust us may turn it on so provide us with data. For the first 4 years the data sat without any use until recently where Evidon figured out how to turn it into money. Even so, the data Evidon sells has nothing about any user, merely tracker data. Here are some samples of whats actually delivered to clients: http://www.knowyourelements.com/ and http://www.evidon.com/evidon-trackermap/tagchains-static.htm....

As I said, we do not trick the users into anything, and are as transparent about where the data goes as possible, if you have suggestions how to increase this then please let us know. We currently cover this question in every listing Ghostery has, all options pages, web site, FAQ, and many posts on our blog.

As far as defaults: originally, Ghostery was a detection software designed to "reveal the invisible web", but has added blocking since. Our official stance is that we do not make decisions for the user, but we do run every user through an install wizard that explains whats up. Disconnects stance here is a different, they do offer default blocking, tho they also have their own "whiteliest" built into it without telling the users about it. We are going to add some easy configuration in the near future that will pre-block stuff, but this is still in the works.

Finally, Ghostery source is available for review for "sneakiness" since every extension is pure javascript. We host it here if you're interested: https://www.ghostery.com/ghosteries/chrome/ and you can just unzip any other extension to extract source.
As an extra note, Dropbox started as getdropbox.com. As onion2k mentioned, "good domains" don't play a very big factor in a project's success.
I have this vision of dinosaur astronauts, clinging to the rock that has been ejected into space, on their way to Mars to establish a new life there.

I have always found the pan-spermia theories interesting. It still doesn't answer the 'where first' question but it allows for many places to share similar lifeforms without requiring a recreation of an improbable event in all of them. Of course it would be really weird if the universe was populated in this way with humanoids, and the original Star Trek was closer to the truth than not :-)
"Fully featured" is not a binary condition. If Eclipse is fully featured for Java development, IDEA is much MORE fully featured.

Leaving aside for a moment the huge number of people who have moved to North Dakota - so many that energy boom towns are experiencing severe housing shortages - working in the oilfields is physically grueling, and so unsuitable for anyone not in good physical condition; and your typical boom-town is not exactly the best place to bring a family.
This kind of skirts the problem. There are more unemployed than there are jobs. There are far more under-employed people working at McDonalds that would like better jobs.

Those jobs don't exist. They just don't. The jobs are in China or they are being done better by mechanical sorters at Amazon.

Even if we figure out a relocation plan, that solves a minor part of the problem. Worse, those low skilled, high risk employees are now in another part of the country, first to be laid off and with no social network once they are.

There is NO solution that doesn’t involve either make work programs OR a guaranteed income OR people homeless and starving.
No, I already told you I'm not hungry..
Critique of iOS 7 User Experience
Sounds cool. I have also been thinking about developing a ready-made Django skeleton with an architecture similar to this. Our publishing looks like this: Django -> Redis -> Express.js -> Browser

Redis really just serves as our bridge, the actual pub/sub happens in socket.io in the express app. The coolest part of this is that when a Django model is updated, we serialize it to its API representation, send that through the wire. On the client, the Backbone model is bound to this event and updates in place.
Hehe, this makes me chuckle every time.
Please see my reply to mhurron above (I can't copy paste it because HN deletes it as spam)
The long-term unemployed do not have taxes to write off against, since they are not making any money. A write-off does not help them pay moving expenses in the least.
As a frequent mover, it is interesting that people just say "move!" without considering such things. If you don't have the capital to move, then it's likely not going to happen. Thankfully we're not to the point of people moving to a new area to essentially be homeless in hopes of finding a job.
Ah that was obvious. Thanks, very clear answer.

Yeah, I remember those times, and I hated them, because sometimes you got a shitty album and you were stuck with it. You go to the record store and there are these long ass shelves just full of stuff that may be good or may be shitty and you're never gonna know.
Look at the Stats -- America Resembles a Broken Banana Republic
This article fails to recognize that there are more ways to earn an income than "get a job" . Write a (book|song|game|movie), grow some food, sell a service, invent something, sell some clothes.

One year I was laid off and "employed" 3 days later because I became a freelance contractor. For the right price many many skills are marketable.

I as a businessman would never turn away someone who had the nerve, need and drive to come to me and say "I'll bust my ass for half my usual price, just dont let me starve".
Another way to remove bosses is to work for yourself and co-ordinate with others through prices.

> And how exactly is it trickery if users have to opt-in to the program and they're told what the program does?

Ghostery seems to rely on vague messaging (last I looked, they don't actually say anywhere in their extension that they sell the data you share to ad co's and data brokers) and UX "optimization" (what quesera dubbed the "reconfigure-on-update dance", for example) to get less attentive users to leave blocking off and to send data - as the numbers show.
Yes, they will. Because they've given up hope.

I would like to think that I'd personally be one of the people who keeps trying. But if I was getting constant rejection, I'm not sure how many YEARS I'd keep trying.

Many of the long term unemployed have never recovered from the 2008 down turn, some have been unemployed longer than that. That's 5 years or more.
Significantly less -- even the highest estimates on
the invasion phase (not just the shock and awe portion)
where at 5600

Not according to anything I've read.

Franks reportedly estimated soon after the invasion that there had been 30,000 Iraqi casualties as of April 9, 2003.

"Our analysis of the evidence leads to the conclusion that between 10,800 and 15,100 Iraqis were killed in the war. Of these, between 3,200 and 4,300 were noncombatants – that is: civilians who did not take up arms."

The study author Carl Conetta reported: "All told, more than 40,000 Iraqis were killed or injured,"

> The only problem I see there is that since you're still using raw pointers, the runtime can't really move things around for efficiency since that would invalidate the pointers.

The biggest downside is not really efficiency but that you lose the memory safety of a managed language doing this.
Terrible news for Led Zepagain and Lez Zeppelin.
It could be used against their new income if they get a job to move to if both were done in the same year. Assuming they generated enough income for that year to be taxed. So, moving early in the year for a new job would be ideal.

But the problem is getting the job before you move there.
A very important moment for us Europeans just passed - Imgur
Who said they pay them the same way? Spotify has never said that and it is most certainly not true. They carefully worded that they pay roughly 70% to rights holders, and that it is their percentage of the total streams, times their rate. They did not ever say everyone gets the same rate. They just tried to imply it so that artists would stop bitching.

"...Mailing unemployment insurance checks to people who aren't so much unemployed as unemployable is obviously not an ideal public policy. But simply doing nothing for them is cruel and insane..."

Let's look at our choices presented by the author. 1) Each of us gives money from his pocket to pay people to do things nobody else wants them to do, whether sitting on the couch, sweeping the streets, whatever, or 2) Be insane and cruel.

Certainly such a discussion must have a bit more nuance than that, right?

I'm not going to dive into the argument, because there will be plenty of it, mostly non-productive. I just wanted to point out the premise the article is written around. Such premises do not make for good discussions by people of varying opinions.
I don't get. Just create more jobs! There are plenty of things that need to be done and those unemployed shouldn't be left in the cold so we are going to pay them something anyway. The only "valid" reason there are able and unemployed people is "to scare the shit out of the middle class".
Running a StrongLoop Demo on Vagrant
Lots of university extension websites discuss the use of antibiotic feed additives. They increase food energy conversion by something like 5%. They don't particularly enable "high energy rich feed that, naturally, the livestock could not cope with", but I guess they do reduce some issues associated with feeding corn (but that's probably a statistical thing, not an every single animal thing).
Given the radical increase in the number of long term unemployed, what data is it that makes you believe that the number of people wanting to work has gone down, rather than the availability of jobs?
Quesera, this is a good point I didn't cover.

Ghostery does not call itself a tracker-blocker, our users do. This is an obvious oversight for most users, and its somethign that we will address, but at this time, Ghostery is designed to reveal the invisible web and give user the control over it, not make decisions for the users...

As far as the feature, at the implementation time, we've queried a set of users that agreed that when new trackers are added, there is no need to let the user know until s/he encounters it for the first time and reviews it. Obviously, this is another setting we will be moving away from advanced and into wizard so the users may review and select this option at install time.
You linked to a gun with a one-and-an-eight-inch barrel and claim that the whole gun is barely larger than the two-inch gun that was confiscated. Your link shoots a .22 calibre bullet. What's the monkey gun gonna shoot?
> Probably C would do just as fine, assuming you have some static analysis tool to find all the forgotten free calls.

I don't believe such a static analysis tool can exist without being a different language (e.g. Cyclone). There just isn't enough information about ownership semantics in C's type system.
