Just because the Supreme Council condones something does not mean that it is consistent with the Constitution...

Assuming that by "Supreme Council" you mean "Supreme Court" -- that is exactly what it means. There is no way to determine whether or not a thing is in accordance with the Constitution other than to ask a court to decide. It's called The Rule of Law.

The other system is called, "internet randos and other people with Ron Paul signs in front of their house decide what the Constitution means." I'll take the first one, thank you.
I think that's kind of sad, actually. Always made me laugh.
Please tell me if there's a way to make git-grep (or git-log for that matter) work between submodules.

While I may not personally like behemoth repositories, I do see why people would choose to endure them. They do have their advantages, even if they all eventually end up looking something like BSD ports. (FYI: I happen to like the extremely modular one-git-repo-per-component approach as used in Mer. Hell, I did an early implementation of the OBS+git -based autobuild system back in 2009!)
My first thought on the redesign was 'not bad looking', and then I scrolled down. Maybe it's the Cinema screen working against me, but it looks like a unicorn vomited a rainbow all over that site (and not in a good way). Talk about visual overload, and trying to be too many things to too many people. Yahoo needs to slow down.

Going after these people would actually hurt Governmental Security. Forty years after the fact, this case just helps perpetuate the idea of soft rebellion successfully pushing back against the system (one of the bases of mainstream American politics). Meanwhile the system has adopted (organizational compartmentalization and physical security will prevent this attack from recurring) and level of routine surveillance has continually grown.
Glad you enjoyed it. WRT to monetization, our focus is engagement/retention, then growth, then monetization (maybe). We have some ideas on how we might monetize (hint: http://jonathan-kim.com/2014/starting-fires/) but that's not our focus at this time.
>I haven't noticed that having a PhD in physics is any bar to success in such fields.

If you factor in the time in takes to obtain a PhD vs the time it takes to graduate from finance, programming, or petroleum engineering. The route is much faster than the PhD route in the time it takes to become employed. Factor in the experience you would already have if you graduated with a lessor degree + the money you didnt spend on post grad studies.

The non PhD route seems like a better career choice. But most PhDs I have meet are doing what they do because they enjoy it.
Sounds like the ads are super effective then.
Define: "optional"

Optional as in "you can't use WiFi if you're not on Facebook"? As in, with each coffee I buy here I contribute to paying your WiFi bill (both hardware and connectivity) but I cannot use it, thus having to pay a premium to get a better 3g subscription so that I can work without WiFi?

I have the dev kit, and am extremely prone to motion sickness. I haven't had too big a problem with nausea except with a few games.

For me, the only time I really get nausea on it is when you do mouse look at the same time as head look... for example, moving the mouse to look one direction while moving my head.

I find by only doing one of those things at a time, I can really limit the motion sickness.

I showed all my family at christmas (mostly the experience demos where you look around without doing any controls) and no one got sick.

No.

See, if I ask for, say, `https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7015129`, and I _get_ the page that URL names (this thread), then that's a 200. Whether it was delivered from a Cloudflare cache or not, I got that page.

IF I ask for `https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7015129`, and I get a "Sorry, this service is temporarily unavailable" message instead, I did not get what I asked for (200 "OK"), I got something else -- because the thing I asked for was 503 Temporarily Unavailable.

It's all about what the URL identifies, and if it was in fact succesfully delivered or not.

Hmm. The last machine I bought with an integrated graphics was an Eee PC. That was -- over half a decade ago. Your comment's made me decide my assumption needs to be checked, so I guess I'll be looking at benchmarks before I buy my next laptop. It won't be any time soon though; my current laptop is adequate, so my next machine is going to be a desktop.

It's not a complaint and it might equally be a problem with Chrome Canary itself and have zero to do with the site.

However, I'd personally find it useful to know if my project was working in pre-release browsers, especially if it is more than your basic web app, to ensure future compatibility before that pre-release version makes it out as a stable version.
I do use standard Mercurial branches, and I vastly prefer Git's model. I ask because there might be a better way to use them that I've overlooked.
Most Redhat customers use Centos (eg for build, test machines etc), and many Centos users are potential RH customers. Fedora does not fill the same niche, so having all three makes sense.
To me, "abuse" is a term with pretty strong connotations, and in some cases legal ramifications (e.g. "Computer Fraud and Abuse Act"). We're living in an environment where "exceeding authorized access" (whatever that means) carries the potential for decades-long prison sentences.

If I think about how we use that word in other contexts: "spousal abuse", "drug abuse", "sexual abuse", I find it quite a stretch to apply the same term to giving a bogus email address to a marketing firm.
Sugar is not bad for you. Fruit juices and sucrose in the context of adequate nutrition is good for you. Getting a fraction of your calories from sugar is a good idea.

Thoughts about this network's approach?
You're not just selling your own transaction history, though--you are selling the other half of it as well.

If I'm a private business or individual, I would prefer my customers not broadcast their affiliation--because some third-party source of data could be used to drive solicitation, or target advertising, or just in general be a nuisance.

Remember, when you give up transaction history, you aren't just ratting on yourself--you're ratting on whomever you've done business with.

Reminds me of a situation I once encountered in the Mumbai airport.

I open up my computer and see there's free wifi - I try to log on, it wants me to verify my identity by sending me a text message... of course, I don't have an Indian sim card, as I'm just traveling there for a short period of time (I would think many people inside an airport would be in this situation). Fortunately, they have an alternate verification process, which is to get a code from one of 3 information desks... all located outside the secure area. And of course, I'm not allowed back out there because I've already gone through security - like many travelers, I'm sure, I didn't try to sit down with my laptop and log onto the wifi until after I had gotten to the gate. There was, ultimately, nothing to be done - I found other ways to entertain myself during the 2 hour wait. :-/

Yahoo News Digest: Get In The Know In No Time
Feminism is fighting a war that was won long ago. Women already have equal rights in modern countries. GLBT people are only just now starting to see things progress. That's why it's not fair to GLBT people when feminists appropriate our struggles--they're trying to retain an appearance of legitimacy despite the fact that their movement is no longer relevant in virtually every first world country (and let's face it, first world feminists are too focused on criticizing any and every fictional female character to care about the problems of third world women--except for when they need to justify the continuing existence of feminism, after which they promptly go back to their first world "problems" again).
Yeah, something weird is going on there. 72 years at birth for the Amish sounds absolutely crazy too. Maybe the Amish one is life expectancy at 5 or 20 and the other at birth.

Yahoo Launches News Digest, Its First App Based On Summly
I am sorry that you do not like how the term is used, but it is a fairly common way to phrase it among internet companies.
The Oculus dev kit is absolutely incredible on fast hardware with the right game (http://owlchemylabs.com/aaaaaculus/ for example, is one of the best gaming experiences I've ever had, without much nausea). I expected to be somewhat lukewarm about it, but it almost immediately became the most exciting bit of consumer tech in my eyes, whereas the Glass had the opposite trajectory for me.

Most of the issues I've come across have been from low frame rates with low-powered hardware (most laptops), and games with jarring transitions (loading screens where everything freezes are terrible). The dev kit also has very visible pixels, which gives it a substantial screen door effect, and there's some blur when turning your head. The biggest issue, though, is that there's no way that I know of to match what's going on in your inner ear with what's going on screen in something with a lot of quick acceleration/deceleration like a driving game.

However, I think that with translation tracking, less motion blur, better resolution, and games that are well suited to it (maybe not driving), it's going to be completely transformative. And I think it will open up new fields outside of games.

If you have a bit of cash you wouldn't mind spending, I would highly recommend ordering one of the dev kits from their site ($300), even if you don't immediately plan on developing for it. It will most likely spur a lot of ideas for you, game related and otherwise.
Yes. Everyone does! * Even Peter. You've just said as much. And it is shown as a tool. I just pulled those examples from the first season using the plot synopse to try and trigger my memory. I obviously didn't have time to go and rewatch 130 hours of television to satisfy a HN commenter who was trying to make a rhetorical point. Many of the characters are ambiguous and are eventually revealed to be acting in the best interests of the "their universe". If you really want to disprove this do your own research. Go through and categorise every instance of pain inflicted on a person in a helpless situation. Are there more or less of these scenes than in the X-Files? Are they betrayed as something only a truly evil sadist would perform or are they more of a tool of the trade? Why do you think the sci-fi FBI genre has shifted?

How to Build a $20 3-Axis CNC Robot
You're saying a black person who grows up in a white subculture then is less at risk of poverty? I call bullshit on that.

It doesn't matter what subculture you grew up in or are exposed to. It is what other people perceive of you that influences the likelihood of you falling into poverty. Skin color has a lot to do with that. Maybe the reason black people don't appreciate the idea of hard work is because no matter how hard they work, they don't come up ahead?

By subscribing to the idea of these subcultures being responsible for work ethic, you're still placing work ethic innate to the race - and that's flat out racist.

And for the matter of preconceived biases, I'm not the person coming into this suggesting that certain cultures have work ethic issues.

The Role of Selling in the Retail Communication Mix
Looking from the inside out, rather than outside in, WRT "often shifted focus away from them", I was able to self educate fairly well, at least in computers and physics, whereas people who were also highly talented but couldn't self educate, basically wasted their time or got frustrated.

"There’s this idea that gifted students don’t really need any help" This also fits my theory above. Once they learn how to self educate you need a push in the right direction and not much else. Both my high school physics teacher and programming teacher were pretty good about this...

"accelerated coursework, AP classes and educational programs" end when school ends. Self education continues your whole life. If I stopped educating myself when I got out of school... I wouldn't know a fraction of what I know now. So self educational skills are waaaaay more important than any special coursework, classes, or programs.

> Why shouldn't television reflect reality?

Because there's a cycle. TV reflects reality, but it also shapes reality. It shapes us.

And without protest. I believe TV has made our society comfortable with torture, and thus we allow it to happen.
There's still a lot of desktop systems out there. And anything you trigger on hover can be triggered on other pseudo selectors (active, selected).

I've found hover effects to be really useful on a client-side basis -- I do a lot of restyling of websites to improve readability and usability. One modification I've made is an asymmetrically timed resizing of edit dialogs in the case of Diaspora. One second after entry, the dialog expands in size and gets a subtle border. The border will fade after 20s, indicating that the dialog will shrink shortly, the dialog itself after 30s.

This gives a responsive but not jittery design with a bit of hysteresis and signaling.

Others are the emphasis given to tabs and other controls on this subreddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/dredmorbius (hover over the post and comment controls), or submit button.

Excessive animation can be annoying, but with the right touch, it's a nice usability enhancement.
I think ultimately, past the scale that you can get with Perforce, that is a problem waiting to be solved by the next generation of VCS.

You can get all your many repos in one place, with all of your internal systems handling them nicely, but moving one file from one repo to another, in a way that history remains clear, is something of an unsolved problem.

Nest's PR response seems like it's hurting the brand reputation beyond the damage caused by the failure itself.

Software is hard, software & hardware in a closed system is harder, software & hardware with physical sensors and variable, external analog interfaces is even more difficult. The Nest responses seem like they could be "technically" true. However, Nest's overall failure seems to be the lack of robust enough self-diagnostics to identify bad installs, as well as having weak fail-over behavior.

It almost sounds like Nest needs a backup "dumb" thermostat built into the hardware in the event that the sophisticated portion of the Nest hardware is shutdown for any reason.
Snowmobile tours in Breckenridge: What to know before you go
As enjoyable as snowmobile tours in Breckenridge are, it's important to know what you're getting into before you get out there. First off, know what equipment is provided to you with your tour. If everything is not provided, you'll have to bring it along yourself. Next up is safety. Make sure to pay attention to the instructions given before you hit the trails. You never know when you're going to need it. Lastly, you don't need experience to go snowmobiling in Breckenridge, but even if you have years under your belt, play it safe while you're out on the trails, especially since there will likely be inexperienced riders along with you. Don't forget to have fun!

Oh absolutely. I'm only suggesting that the problem isn't one unique to PhD degrees, but rather a more general problem with title and degrees. I think it's an important distinction if we want to understand or fix the problem.

You are also correct that "connections" can count for a lot. Though pure degree discrimination is still very frequent.
You publish packages/libraries/gems/jars/whatever your language calls them, and a package manager. Needing to combine the actual source trees into a single repo like submodules or subtrees allow you to should be for really rare cases.

That is certain. If you are trying to run at a very large scale with a single repo, Perforce (or apparently Mercurial) is the way to go.

The problem is "how do you grow even further?" There isn't a perfect solution to that (yet), but I think the only existing workable (although absolutely imperfect) solution is splitting your codebase into many small repos.

Thankfully very few companies need to worry about this problem right now. A single Mercurial repo is apparently scaling for Facebook currently, and few companies will manage to stress Perforce.
