Step out of the plane ? :)
More seriously, if people have to move to make a call, this will cause a mess in the economy section, where seats are narrow and you need to step on people's feet to move around. And that will make the job of air hostesses way harder when it comes to moving around with their carts, too.

There's hardly a good way to do that in a plane.
Maybe you can make some video tutorials on your expertise. Saying, I'd be interested in how CNC works.

Bitcoin and Credit Cards: Scams and Money Laundering
> Maybe we're saying the same thing, but I hope you get my point. This has to do with the particular way most beginners in any subject interact with new information.

Probably, my example was off-the-cuff, and I think I may have misinterpreted the original intent of your post a bit. I'm still not sure which "side" of the discussion you're on, though. (Teach classes and OOP sooner vs. later). For my part I definitely favor "leave it for later"

In Zed Shaw's "Learn Python The Hard Way" book, after raving about dictionaries in section 39, he barely uses them for the remainder of the book, while spending a lot of time on classes and class heirarchies. It's a succinct (and very successful, I believe) introduction to OOP and Python's features so I can't vehemently criticize it, but I do wonder what the last few chapters would have looked like with a more flat function + dictionary approach.

I understand the issue of little details stuff, for sure. I've never taught python but I have taught bash. Gave you an upvode for for the second paragraph, I found it to be an unusually eloquent way to describe the learning experience. I've never been able to express that idea so well.
Or perhaps that the silence mongers should become more considerate.

And white noise tends to drown out human voices. I'm pretty surprised that I have to point that out.
I really can't think of another person that I've had to reevaluate my opinion of as drastically as Gates.

In the 90s he was widely seen as the face of the evil empire of Microsoft by the technorati, completely cutthroat and unfairly crushing anyone that stood in his way.

But over the past decade, he's arguably been one of the single greatest contributors to good in the world. He's been a staunch and consistent advocate for the overall betterment of humanity. He's put his wealth and influence to use in beneficial, high-impact ways. He's directed his ruthlessness away from business and toward hunger, poverty, and disease. And it's making a very real difference in the lives of people around the world.

He's gone from somebody I viewed as a reviled caricature of a man to one I can't help but profoundly respect.

Yeah, people are complicated. In the Mr. Gates' case, maybe that's not such a bad thing.

I am male and I do spend a lot of time thinking about sex. It also affects the way I interact with women as opposed to how I interact with men.

It's just like hunger. When I'm hungry, it's hard to think about things other than food. If I'm talking to someone while hungry, and they have food, it's really hard to focus on the conversation at hand. Worse yet, I will often ask them if I can "get a piece of that".
These are mostly O(1) things and shouldn't matter. The dictionary lookup can become O(1) if you turn it into an array of function pointers indexed by ints, the opcodes.
The SoGA is only relevant if the device is purchased directly from Apple. It stipulates that the retailer is responsible for upholding the warranty. For Apple to be liable for repairs/replacements where 3rd parties are involved, the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977 says that they cannot exclude their responsibilities under the Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982. This demands that they supply goods that are of satisfactory quality. However, if the devices have inherent defects that takes longer to reveal themselves that would normally be deemed reasonable, the onus is on the retailer to provide a remedy.

Edit: IANAL, but this information comes from the Which? consumer group.
Taking stock of 2013's crowdfunded Linux devices
Perhaps it wasn't the best example in that sense, it seems they have done their homework. It was just the first one that came to mind, and I've heard several people express disgust with it (and other, similar regulations).

Personally, I don't have a strong feeling about these types of things; on the one hand, they are probably correct, and they probably do more good than harm. On the other hand, having an over-regulated country might have a negative effect on both the competitiveness of the economy (companies having to navigate a minefield of regulations, driving costs up), as well as coming at the cost of personal freedoms (along the lines of: hey, if I want to have a tap running at 70 degrees, should I not be allowed to?). These are just silly examples, but I think you get the idea.

We're Not All Eldo Kim
If you'd been travelling with SJ (Swedish railway) you could have chosen a quiet section, where cell phones are expected to be turned off and even conversations are discouraged.

No, more like the CPU will, in some cases, need to do more work if the key is X and less work if the key is Y, and we specially craft our plain-text to have many X/Y pairs as possible, so that we can hear the capacitors working harder when decrypting.
Ahh, the lovely ambiance of a passenger plane.
The point is that we don't want anybody's approval, and no definition you suggest (however reasonable) will change that. The policy is cheap politics.
It doesn't drown them out very effectively at the distances you're dealing with in a plane, and cell phones would be worse as people would be talking louder than normal into them. I stepped off a plane an hour ago, and I'm absolutely sure that your proposal would make an already somewhat unpleasant process much worse.

Silence in public places is a coping strategy for crowded environments - it's the least intrusive thing you can do to the other people in your space. It's like the difference between jumping around and shuffling quietly when you're in the middle of a crowd - one may be more fun for the person jumping around, but it's selfish, because it makes everyone else's experience less fun, as their toes get mashed on.

That's really the crux of it. Talking on your cell phone when you're mashed up against other people is a purely selfish act. That's why it will always be considered rude.

Ignoring Library Code While Debugging in Chrome
I don't know why you're surprised or grumpy at the fact that someone who did a lot of work on designing and implementing a language likes that language more than others.
Close your eyes and picture the last time you saw a clueless chatterbox gabbing on a cell phone. What do you remember? The nails-on-chalkboard voice? The hideous oversharing? Think deeper. Think of the flapping hands and the upper body articulation. Think of how oblivious that chatterbox was to any social cues, subtle or overt, that the world at large might not wish to share quite so deeply in its private discourse. Now imagine you're trapped 17" away (average distance between passengers' centers of mass on an international flight) from that clueless gesticulating chatterbox for 8 hours. If you honestly think that's no problem I won't call you a hypocrite. For me, cell phone chats go right down with cigarettes and guns as things that are so awful that even trapped air passengers shouldn't have to endure them.
Isn't gold specifically targetted at x86 and/or linux only (I can't remember which)? Having it as part of the LLVM project means they can use a lot of the infrastructure that already exists, and exists to used as libraries, and also allows them to write the code as another set of libraries for use in other unforseen systems. It's also aimed at being a generic linker for use on many different platforms. I don't think gold has these goals; from I remember they were just after speed on their target platform.

What about your average, everyday, not new, small business? If low taxes are good all of the sudden, why not lower them for everybody?
Go will never be "free from C code" it will always use C code as the bootstrapping compiler will be C. All their doing is making the new compiler in Go and using the old C one to compile the new Go one.

And I'm not sure Go qualifies as a "general purpose language".
I didn't get the impression that this tax break was on personal income tax, but corporate income tax. So you would only get a corporate income tax break if your company has a profit.

I was recently in the situation where I had to pay a ton of capital gains tax on an acquisition, even though my company never really had a profit, and therefore paid no corporate income tax.

But I agree. Not having to pay personal income tax would be sweet. You need to go to NH or TX for that.
Perhaps they plan to make it up in volume, presumably from the increase in business / economic activity that will occur from businesses starting up / moving to NY
It's an introduction to a Go change proposal, stating a premise that the Go devs share even if you don't; it's like the intro to a C++ change proposal referring to C++ as a good embedded-systems language and the STL as a versatile, easy-to-use data structures library. You can argue, but that's not really part of the conversation about the change any more; you're going off and starting your own conversation about what languages people like.

(The plan to transition over by automatic translation, not the bullet points up top, is the interesting part of the document to me. I hope they're able to achieve it without too-serious compiler-performance regressions, since I really like the zippy compilation I get now.)
They basically did, the light can only be turned off when the USB signals "standby".

The hack is to override the camera to ignore that signal. It is a rather unique idea and probably not something anyone even considered at Apple.

Not trying to defend the couple of illegal things that Microsoft did, but Microsoft was never the most agile company. There was plenty of opportunity for Lotus, Word Perfect, and Borland to get their acts together, for example. Apple always sold expensive computers so they were never a threat. Linux has been around 20 years and it comes in over 200 flavors. The reason we never had "The Year of Linux on the Desktop" isn't Microsoft's fault. Sun is gone because they tried to protect the past, and commodity hardware took them out. Google could probably do some serious damage with a Chrome/Android solution. At this point it looks like Microsoft is going to finally take a hit as mobile evolves into a real desktop replacement.

30% is either "f+++ed up" or a massive opportunity for daily trading, depending on your point of view. I see it rather as the second.
It's kind of naive to say that currencies are entirely based on belief, and I think you had it more right with your initial statement.

The only big distinction between the US Dollar and Bitcoin, from a practical perspective, is that Bitcoin doesn't have any armies willing to defend its status as legal tender. Even if everybody stopped 'believing' in the dollar, its buying power might tank, but it's still legally required to be accepted as payment for all debts, public and private. That legality is implemented through force of law, not good natured belief.

White noise is a more effective sound barrier in small spaces like planes. This is why the captain's announcements must be broadcast in very high-pitched tones.

Perhaps someone's need for a phone call is more important than my desire for quiet. I don't know, it's completely irrelevant to me because I don't go around looking for things to get offended about.

As a sidenote, I could make your same basic argument about crying babies, and yet nobody would take me seriously if I proposed a ban on babies.
So...it's worth keeping in mind that some of the creators of go are some of the same people who helped create C and UNIX (Rob Pike and Ken Thompson, specifically are two of the three founders of go).

They have earned the right to "hubris". And, if they believe they've made a better, easier to debug, more fun language than C (and they do believe that, as it's clear based on their own discussions of the language), I don't think I'd feel any right to argue with them.

Ultimately though there is an even more effective method. New coins are always clean, trading pristine coins for tainted coins at a discount is damned effective, even if it requires a lot of computing power to pull off. The trick is you have infinite wallets, so avoiding any way of figuring out which is which is not difficult, especially since distributing pristine coins is standard practice.

Ask HN: Size of the SSD based cloud market?
One can now buy SSD based cloud instances. Vendors include (in no particular order):
1> https://www.digitalocean.com
2> www.rackspace.com/cloud/block-storage
3> solidfire.com
4> AWS
....
...
...

AWS alone accounted for ~ $4.5 billion in revenues in 2013 [Source: http://ubm.io/1epSqbW ].

Assuming AWS owns 20% of cloud IAAS market, total [estimated] size in 2013 is $23 billion.

How much of this is SSD based?
Yandex Does What Google Can't: Provides Bitcoin Exchange Rates
Everybody has their preferences I guess, but I couldn't disagree with you more. I think because cellphones are ubiquitous and used everywhere and always, silence and being able to not have to hear other humans talking on them for a couple hours is a small consolation.

Traveling is uncomfortable. Avoiding one aspect of that discomfort by allowing for some peace and quiet is a minor short term inconvenience for the few people that feel the need to talk on the phone around complete strangers. How about texting.. wouldn't that suffice? Then it would seem both parties could be happy... the callers could get their message across and those that prefer silence wouldn't have to hear it.
One long weekend in the mid-1980s, two of Bill's girlfriends spent several hours each venting to me about their relationship with him.

Kerckhoffs' principle is common knowledge, but it very often violated.
E. g. it is almost not possible to buy car alarm/immobiliser system with known cryptographic algorithms and protocols.
As a result - most car security systems use weak crypto (or no crypto at all), rely on security by obscurity. And it is possible to steal car using wireless code grubbers (to sniff key when owner lock/unlock car).
Regarding Hugo de Garis, I should qualify that he does believe some sort of Terminator/Matrix-like war against the machines is the most likely outcome, but he places this far in the future indicating that he definitely doesn't believe in a Yudkowsky-like hard-FOOM. He's also the only AI researcher I know that takes Hollywood-like human/machine war seriously, myself included.
The executable binary generally dwarfs the assets (textures, models, level data, audio, etc.) so I doubt it makes sense to defer downloading code. If anything, you'd put any level-specific native code (rare these days - it's mainly scripts) into dynamically loaded libraries.
Samsung Unveils the World’s First, Largest and Most Curved 105” Curved UHD TV
The lavabit case warns against using proprietary American software or services that use it or simply cloud services located in the USA. We know that the NSA will issue a gag order and demand that the software or service provider installs backdoors without telling his foreign clients. If US-based technology companies want to be considered as potential candidates, they will have to surrender the entire source code for the software and the full design specifications for the hardware, and pay for non-American experts to fully inspect it. Otherwise, no foreign company in their right mind will buy their gear any longer. The NSA-inspired breach of trust pretty much signifies the beginning of the end for US-originated technology exports to the rest of the world.

it really is true as they, the last 10% seems to be the hardest to pull off. It's not like I don't know how to solve the problem or have run into a creative block. Purely psychological I suppose, it's the fear that if I complete it, people will reject it or not even look at it.

What new drug will they prescribe to keep people in line so to speak.

To tell you the truth, my preference is strongly against cell phones. I don't even have a voice plan.

The thing is that I simply respect other adults enough to let them decide whether it's ok to make a phone call. We're all adults, we all know that loud phone calls are disturbing, and we all might one day have a great reason to make a loud phone call. Sure, there are some rude people, but why let them spoil adulthood for the rest of us?

To put it another way, large institutions should not concern themselves with matters of human etiquette. Rules intended to preserve good manners are almost always more harmful than good. Mundane human relations should be as informal as possible - any time constant formalization of our interactions is an impediment to progress.

>Deflation, by providing a risk free return for sitting on currency

In the case of Bitcoin, the return would not be risk free. In the long run bitcoins would gain in value at roughly the rate of increase in gross world product. Bitcoins value would fluctuate at least as much as that of a global stock index fund. There would be added volatility due to changes in demand for money.
During his tenure at Microsoft, I think Bill could be fairly judged as evil and maniacal at times. He crushed competitors into the ground and punished his enemies with reckless abandon.

He now seems like a nice guy, in large part because he can afford to be. He has no competitors, and his only agenda is to give away his billions. If I had that much money and was retired, you would rarely find me in a bad mood either.
