Logically you would think this may help women but ..
Let me explain.
I come from a part of India which supposedly experienced bad sex ratio in 1920s-40s. I learnt from my parents and Grand Parents that the greedy parents of Women were 'selling' their daughters for higher money to older widowers. Also women were bought from other states. These were captured well in Telugu Drama 'KanyaSulkam' as an effort to get rid of evil.
Apparently changes in sex-ratios don't result in correction of power balance.

Hard to know precisely what you mean by this, but if you mean that you shouldn't be writing things like

\documentclass{article}

\begin{document}
Hello world.
\end{document}

then you are mistaken; the LaTeX book (and many other documents) describes what to do. If what you mean is that a person is somehow meant to use a front end such as LyX, then you'll get a lot of disagreement (such as from me).

5 years in prison for Egyptians who publish Cairo square massacre sign “Rabea” on social media

When the Egyptian army which is baked by the US government launched a coupe against a democratically elected president , opposition to the coupe gathered on one of Cairo’s squares called Rabea but after around a month of gathering the army along with the police stormed the strike and killed around 3 thousand peaceful protesters. Including this geek[1].

And since the police and army started to clash with the opposition ,killing many, then opposition of the coupe started to use a sign that symbolize Rabea massacre and the resistance for the coupe (picture above).

2 days ago the Egyptian government has decided[2] to declare unjustly that Muslim brotherhood is a terrorist organization and declared that anyone who is a member of the organization will be sent to prison. Yesterday to further things the police declared that anyone posting Rabea sign will be put in prison for 5 years.

This decision further proof that the country in Egypt is now a police state that does not respect freedom and free speech.

Who is the terrorist?
The definition of terrorism means killing innocent civilians, and Muslim brotherhood is a peaceful organization that does not use force in the contrary it has many charity organizations that provide food medication and other important life saving help to millions of poor Egyptians. While the Egyptian army killed thousands of Egyptian since the coup which makes them the real terrorists. And those who sponsor them are terrorists: the American and “Israeli” government.

Unfortunately there is a slice of the Egyptian population who support the army and the coupe, this is because of the Egyptian private media, which is biased and unethical, by beaming lies against Muslim brotherhood and all Islamic moment or anyone who who wants to make the government Islamic.

Muslim brotherhood had mistakes but this is a war against Islam ladies and gentleman. By the orders of the US government which can not declare Muslim brotherhood as a terrorists organization in its soil since it wont be backed legally but orders its spies at the army in Egypt to do so.

The American government is the head of international tyranny and terrorism it only believes that freedom is only for Americans and western citizens but plot to take the basic rights for Muslim and non Muslims in the so called third world countries.

"principal/agent" dynamics are no different for other asset classes, and a liquidation preferences is by no means the best way to align interests. liquidation preference clauses assume investors have invested at a price where they see considerable upside in a business/market. Unfortunately, investors, like all other humans make bad judgement calls, it can certainly be the case where an (price-wise) aggressive investor prices out an entrepreneur/company, whatever the funding round, be it seed or Z round. Having said that, it's the entrepreneurs call to learn and know when to avoid these risks. In the startup world, caveat emptor applies to both entrepreneur and investor.
I agree with your general point, and I'm inexperienced in this stuff - but isn't converting from high growth to low growth going to spook VC investors? I mean, you're probably right that people can figure out how to run their business - but is that conversion reasonable with investment?
Exactly. IIRC the command key and shortcuts were added on the Apple IIe. It's not a recent addition and not something that 'broke' anyone's muscle memory. If they'd changed it to ctrl-c to cater for windows users, that would've broken historical Mac muscle memory.

Losing IP used to bother me, but in hindsight turns out not to have mattered.

The fully integrated system you built failed in the market; its value is illusory (if you got to keep it and redeploy it, you'd probably lose in the long run).

The components of that system probably aren't lost to you at all. First, nobody cares about them anyways (VCs aren't going to chase you down for repurposing some scheduling library you built for your restaurant app). Second, while you operate the company you always have the ability to open-source them as you go. Third, once you know how to build a component, it's pretty easy to rebuild it.

Meh, I see it as a niche tool that a few people might use.

Mou is really annoying in the way it handles history. I guess it's author never heard of the command pattern, because Undo-ing the history doesn't consider the autocompletions Mou did and just generally doesn't work and mess up your document. Then Redo-ing helps cementing the mess.

Also the editor is very lacking in functionality, in term of text manipulation.

I started by liking Mou, then working around the issues, then getting pretty angry at it from all the time I wasted trying to make it work - all that just to get a live editor. Ended up setting a Grunt task.

I've reported those problems to the author who didn't seem to give a damn.
The first thing you need to know about is http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/ which is a fantastic tool.

So I would say that it might be worth reconsidering LaTeX because it has http://www.bibtex.org/ which is excellent for academic papers. The investment to get competent with LaTeX is certainly several hours, but it pays itself back quickly. See http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX for a good learning resource.

For myself, I mainly use http://orgmode.org/ for emacs. This can export as LaTeX, and from there to any of the vast multitude of formats that LaTeX can be converted to. However, if you're not willing to learn LaTeX, then you're probably not willing to learn emacs either: where LaTeX is a matter of hours to learn competently, emacs takes weeks.

I used Markdown to write the bulk of my text for a while, but I found it didn't scale very well to large documents. It is great for blog posts and the like.
Ask HN: Does anyone use a Dvorak simplified keyboard or alternatives?
I have always been curious if any developers/hackers/etc. use a Dvorak simplified keyboard or other alternatives to a QWERTY keyboard?

Was it a challenge to use?

Once accustomed was there any added advantage to using it?

Would you ever recommend others to use it?

One of my laptops has a QWERTY with non-standard tab, caps, shift, enter/return keys and its a nightmare to use, granted I rarely use it.

But the thought of having a similar experience has kept me away from non-qwerty layouts.

This comment isn't responsive. What is the other asset class in which investors sink large amounts of money into 2-4 individual people with no established business and nothing to lose? That's where the principal/agent problem comes from. PE funds do not have the same problem.
As you say, you can't just tweak the capslock assignment in vimrc or by issuing a command. The great thing about the jj/jk hack is that if you end up on some random system or borrowing someone else's shell for a second then all you have to do is type ":inoremap jj <Esc>" and you're back in the groove.

I was a little skeptical about it at first as it seemed like a weird hack, but it's actually quite practical. The fact that you don't have to leave the home row to swap between modes is a huge efficiency boost.

Started with a plan to prove our business first as a lifestyle business. Got customers, got usage, got revenue. We raised our first round when cash flow positive (which was much easier to raise, because we had a real business). Then a year later even a bigger round. Make it a real business first. Don't start life as a capital crack baby.

My (limited) experience with funding is the opposite. Rather than request an experienced head of marketing, they wanted an experienced CFO to be the adult in the room.

I think the question of funding comes down to, "Would you put this on a credit card with a 30% interest rate?" If the answer is yes, and you don't have the credit card available, then funding is ok. The reason is that you're expecting a return much better than 30%. If funding can give you a product edge so that you're winning 5 enterprise deals out of 10, rather than 2 out of 10, the numbers will probably make sense. If funding allows you to do a marketing campaign with real analytics and AB testing that will change your growth rate from 10%/month to 20%/month, it will probably be worth it.
Then you obviously didn't talk to the Swedish legislator that was perfectly fine with the fact that foreign surveillance agencies could read her email.

Let's prioritize... Help out a large OEM with some level of gravitas and reliability or 10's to 100's of bargain-bin-targeting mom & pop shops that are unwilling to put their balls on the line to get up to speed on making globally-commercial products. Then you have the morass of cheap China tainting your platform. Google loves Samsung because they understand, slightly, how to balance silly, shiny shit with passable hardware. Imagine the backlash when millions of consumers think "terrible piece of crap" when someone says, "Google-compliant, Android-based device."

AND THEN those same OEM's will come back and tar Google (again) for their failures. I wouldn't rush out to prop up everybody with a cousin that knows a bad batch parts fence in Shenzen. Let the creme rise to the top first.

> Part of his campaign platform was, "Less measuring, no more charter schools, no more closing failing schools." I fear for the future of NYC schools.

All of those things are positives for NYC, not negatives. Closing failing schools has equated to closing schools in communities comprised of black and hispanic people and replacing them with charter school options that have less accountability. Charter schools themselves have not been shown to be a suitable large scale replacement for the public school system and have their own issues. As for measuring, the strictness of standardized tests and how they tie into student and teacher performance/evaluation has already been shown to be having an negative effect on classrooms.
Thanks for sharing the view from where you sit, that's insight that's hard for most of us to pick up on our own. Do you know of or have any shareable data on venture backed founder returns?

What's your take on if funding shuts down a "pivot to a lifestyle business"? I've always looked at the outcome venture most strongly closes down as "$300k a year pseudo annuity." Basically the kind of business returns profiled in the $100 Startup book.
"For example, building a business worth £20m is a pretty amazing achievement, but if you've raised £10m from a VC to get there" Building a business with little or no funding to be worth 20 million is amazing. Taking 10 million to build something worth 20 million is an abject failure and should be treated as such.
Mou is not a very serious editor. It's just convenient because of the live reload and some Markdown highlighting/styling. You quickly get insane working with the lacking text manipulation features and the depressingly broken undo/redo.
This has been going on for at least a few years. Large financial institutions in Europe have contracts with vendors stating that servers cannot be hosted in the US because of all the warrantless snooping.
"Start a business with a business model that allows you to generate revenue in month 1"

It doesn't seem to me this is very realistic.

My impression is that building any kind of serious SaaS is going to be at least a 6-12 month project for a single developer.

Even ideas like blogs with affiliate marketing revenues probably take about a year to generate enough users to make sufficient money to support oneself and simple pure ad supported sites seem to require at least 100K+ users to make money (ie with RPM's around $1).

Is it really possible to start a software/online business that will earn significant revenue in 2-3 months ?

EDIT: Excluding consulting/freelance work of course.
Yeah, I learned a lot from this back when it was just a blog. (I don't really present all that much, though, so really it just helped me identify flaws in others' presentations. Doh.)
Have you considered LyX? Designed for people with a problem like yours - wanting the benefit of TeX output without the effort needed to learn something new. It's also a pretty good structure oriented (rather than WYSIWYG) editor.
Interesting. Does this mean that Chrome actually issues those requests over that single SPDY connections on the assumption that it belongs there without first waiting for the confirmation from the DNS servers? (And then not using the corresponding responses until it gets the DNS confirmations?)
Well, there is a tiny bit of a difference in image detail between CCTV and the 39 MP camera used here.

This seems backwards. More experience on the job means you are no longer qualified for more pay, but new hires that have no experience in classrooms do qualify for higher pay?
If you use Emacs, I've heard great things about used xkb to remap spacebar to control, and using xcape to make control generate a space when tapped. It sounds messy but now you'll get emacs thumb instead of emacs pinky.
I am looking to build a lifestyle business. Even if my startup fails to generate any revenue I hope that it will prove to be a good advertisement of my technical skills and I will succeed in getting some well paid freelance jobs so that I can remain independent.

You're probably right about the IP and databases not being completely trapped, in practice.

What about non-competes though? Could I really start a directly-competing company immediately afterwards? After all, not all startups fail just due to having completely worthless products, there could be many other reasons.

If there were only that much support for YAML (as regards parsers, stylesheets, and integration in e.g. Github), as there is for MD…

IMO, Markdown is for text (i.e. continuous reading), while YAML is for structured data (not sequentially read, but randomly accessed/queried).

You'd find that STEM professionals (and academics, as some would say those two sets are disjoints) simply write LaTeX in their mails; I even find myself saying it when conversing face to face (but you loose the slashes: "take varepsilon less than frac x over y").

That's one big strength of LaTeX: everybody (in certain professions) knows it, so it is easy to collaborate on LaTeX typeset documents.

Is it just me or has the US foreign policy been upside down the last 5-8 years??
You have to take this from the point of view of the source - the Economist is the most Classically liberal (libertarian) source out there. As such they are pro-personal freedom and market freedom. So Uruguay gets it largely on the back of allowing gay marriage and legalized drug use. It also helps that the current leader is neither corrupt, nor a strongman.

Their comment about gay marriage was great - that it's a free way to increase mass happiness. Very profound economics on what I perceived to be a moral issue!

I tried adding a partial index the other day but Rails didn't seem to particularly like it. Are the examples here from Rails 4? (I'm on 3.2.16).

The issue I had was that, while the partial index syntax worked and actually did create it, it wasn't reflected anywhere in the generated schema. So I was worried that future developers wouldn't realize there was a partial index (we use schema.rb as the canonical reference of DB state), and if we ever get rid of migrations by condensing them into one big one we might miss that there should be a partial index on the column.

And changing the config to generate schema.sql instead of schema.rb didn't help. It's broken with the latest version of postgresql...
Excel with VBA, I was an infantry officer at the time. I made VBA tools for every station in the tactical ops center.

Exposed: Peer-Reviewed Study Reveals A System behind the Climate Change Denial
In maybe 20 years or so this sort of shit is going to be scary.

Imagine what happens when we have several orders of magnitude more computing power available. A lot of things aren't possible today because they are too computationally intensive, but computing power is just getting cheaper and more abundant. Imagine what happens when it's feasible to process basically all data on the entire internet. Every photo and video. Every tweet, vine, and wall post. Every porn video and macro image.

It'll be possible to find the identity of anyone in any picture. Moreover, every picture or video that someone has been in will be easy to correlate. Now scale that up to every activity. Anyone with enough computing power will basically be able to create a dossier on anyone, or on everyone.

The implications are concerning.
> Foreign keys don't need indexes on the from side

Yes, they're not a hard requirement. However, be aware that any field with a foreign key constraint will be searched during a DELETE that affects the related table, to check RESTRICT DELETE or CASCADE DELETE constraints. It can be very beneficial to performance to have an index on that field for those internal database searches.

The same is true for an UPDATE that affects the PK, but that's relatively rare if you're using surrogate primary keys.

You are disregarding the fact that the vast majority of attacks ARE, in fact, this simple. And your post also fails to mention what is central to Gibson's disclosure, namely the instructions for finding the phone-numbers of SnapChat users. So your post sounds really biased.
Bitcoins can not be distinguished between each other. Actually there are no bitcoins. There is only a "quantity" you have and this quantity is refered as "Bitcoin". You do not have any control over how you sent/spend bitcoin quantities. So If you have 2 bitcoins you can not number these as first bitcoin and second bitcoin.

But if you look into the minted bitcoins, yes these are possible. But they are not the currency in flow. They are special things.
