Yup. . . and as others have pointed out, there are some very good reasons why it makes sense to prefer the GPL over a more permissive license for a product light Light Table. I've got no argument there; if I were in the same circumstances I might have made the same choice.

What I'm bristling at is the line of thinking that says that I would somehow be harmed if Light Table's maintainers had chosen a license that permits proprietary derivatives.
In India you can get 1GB for 173Rs or $2.80, and the service is surprisingly good, better than what I get back in Ireland.
On a positive note, Safari 7.0.1 does better, it seems to only lack session ticket support (rating is "Your SSL client is Improvable")
Also consider the margin costs of cell service are almost non-existent. The overhead is covering huge expenses like towers and wireless spectrum, or leasing them from another major player.

After that, you just want as many people on your network as possible so long as they don't largely degrade the service for each other. And if you dominate a market you don't even care about that part because your customers have no choice.
In non-tech big companies at least, you don't need any clear skill set to be a manager. The really bad ones have zero skills whatsoever. A plumber has to know to fix a sink, a dev, write the codez. You'll be found out likely before too long if you manage to get hired and then have no idea (it does happen).

Many managers of technical people are not technologists, they're professional managers, and have no clear skill sets. There's not one useful thing they can do incredibly well that not everyone could handle. (This the ONLY reason you can make $100k in the US by just writing code, by the way, many people can't handle, nor want to handle, programming in C++).

They do have "Managerial Experience", and that gets them hired, even if they suck.. bad.. Even over the incredible technologist.

In their defense however, I would say the very good non-technical technical managers I've worked with, they know nothing about tech, but are so smart and savvy that you could throw complex stuff at them and they know exactly what you're talking about. They protect their people from political bullshit, defend them to outsiders when needed, sometimes hear out the occasional programmer temper tantrum, and schedule the work. That's where they add value.
There's also the perhaps more-cynical Dilbert principle:

> In many cases the least competent, least smart people are promoted, simply because they’re the ones you don't want doing actual work. You want them ordering the doughnuts and yelling at people for not doing their assignments—you know, the easy work. Your heart surgeons and your computer programmers—your smart people—aren’t in management.

For me, Google loses a part of its "Don't be evil" image by being sanctioned by the CNIL.

I see your point but it has to be more than that. These protestors must see that it's better to share these stops than to have extra cars on the street, or more crowding on the already shitty public transit.
If they do, it's not common knowledge and they're being greedy!

But that's the kind of thing I'm working on and I'm sure others are as well.
"If you have a particle (such as a photons, electrons, or molecule) and have it physically interact with another particle, and then separate them, the result is that they can then both be described as being in the same quantum mechanical state. Basically, they are now the same, in factors such as position, momentum, spin, polarization, etc.

However, because we are dealing with quantum mechanics, the state of those particles remains undefined until measured (because it would then be forced to assume a specific state)."

No they are NOT in the same quantum mechanical state at the moment of entanglement. They are, as you said later, undetermined until measurement (or better, until the collapse of the wavefunction). So they are not the same before, unless you accept the completely discredited theory of local hidden variables (cf. Bell's Theorem). They are connected, by the spooky action at a distance, and at the moment of measurement of one, the other will react accordingly. But before that measurement neither are in any state at all.

But at least I've pinpointed the point where you got QT wrong : "Say you had a binary bit you wanted to transfer. First, you must entangle the bits. Then, put one of them on the other side of the globe. Observe one of them, forcing it to assume a certain state, and the other will instantly change. Like magic."

The problem, see, is that, by definition of quantum mechanics, the collapse of the wavefunction is completely random. You can't force a photon to assume the state you want, it'll assume a random state. Then the other photon will indeed assume the symmetrical state. But that's still be the product of the randomness of the first measurement.

In other words, causality has not been violated because no information is transmitted, only randomness. It's like having two connected dices separated by hundred of miles, when you roll a 1, the other rolls a 6, when you roll a 2 the other will roll a 5 etc. So you roll your dice, and you look at it. You got a 4 ! Great. Now you know that somewhere around in the world someone is looking at his own dice and seeing a 3. Did you transmit any kind of information ? No you knew beforehand that the guy would have a symmetrical result. And you can't tell him a message, because it's completely random. How would you say to your friend on the other side of the planet "Hello" ? You just got 5 fours in a row on the dice... Your friend know it. But that has no meaning at all.

Now, of course, you can imagine local hidden variables, that could be read beforehand to influence the result. Or use another way of influencing the result of the wavefunction collapse, so that a message could be transmitted. But that's what I was speaking of when I said that you had first to reinvent the laws of physics. Cause the Bell's theorem and the No Communication Theorem forbid it in the actual understanding of science. Boy I would love to live in an universe where we can so easily violate causality. That would be FUN !
So what does the bank do with all of this money that people deposit if they don't make loans.

From http://money.howstuffworks.com/personal-finance/banking/bank...:
Banks accept deposits and make loans and derive a profit from the difference in the interest rates paid and charged, respectively.
The other service I advocate for people is Ting, since its only $6 per phone, though you have to buy the device. But the Nexus 5 is such good value for hardware it isn't even that expensive, and they have that same early termination relief deal.

I have around a dozen people on one Ting plan, and since the monthly bills adjust for usage I usually only owe around $120 total, and literally $60 of that is from the few people that use 1k+ minutes / texts a month. By comparison I know a family of 4 on Verizon with iphones and such that pay $400 a month for not even unlimited service.

Definitely a possibility -- LT is very flexible. Even if you choose to more or less ignore the plugin interface, you can interact directly with the DOM. I imagine the path of least resistance for a terminal plugin is just to open a new named tab via the API and then inject an existing HTML terminal emulator into it with access to the local machine.
Yes, but when you're actually working on a hi-PPI display, you can then lean in to view more detail, rather than zooming in.

Per the PostgreSQL email list discussion on the subject:

1. The standards define CTE's as being stable within a statement. I.e. they don't change as the query progresses.

2. The way this is implemented in PostgreSQL currently is to have CTE's as optimization fences.

Presumably some cross-CTE optimization may be added in the future but in usual cases, will be slowly added with a lot of care.
Mostly in the eye (or ear) of the beholder. One way to look at it is that rap is something you do, hip-hop is a way you live.

More specifically, hip hop is a cultural phenomenon that developed as an interplay between Jamaican immigrants and the Bronx of the 1970s and 1980s, and includes MCs, DJs, B-Boys and graffiti artists as primary drivers. Rap is a specific element of hip hop, practiced by MCs, in the same way that turntablism (e.g., scratching, mixing, cutting and juggling) is an element practiced by DJs.
To show it without a BBC Micro seems like a huge oversight, too. The Beeb was hugely influential in the UK in the 1980s -- every school had them.

As per discussons on the email lists, PostgreSQL does it this way because this is the safest way to adhere to the standard. Presumably over time cross-CTE optimizations will be added. The problem though is guaranteeing the stability the standard requires without doing so. That's a technical issue, not a standards issue though and you are quite right for pointing that out.

I sincerely don't get how Google/Tech are the targets of hate. I can understand people upset over them using muni stops, but breaking windows of busses in west Oakland, and getting mad at ferries?

The scenarios in your first paragraph can be handled by treating the controls of the car as an input for the self-driving system. The accelerator asks the self-driving system to move forwards, whilst the steering wheel asks it to turn into the street to your right/left. Or, recognise that the existing controls no longer fit the purpose and come up with a better way of giving such input. For example, you might just point to where the car should go, or say "stop here".
(ceo of Balanced)

This is great feedback!

Is this essentially what you're looking for?

require 'balanced'
Balanced.configure('ak-test-2ficCWmYvpRBBSzC7Me62ZTX0Y2DPGjgt')

card = Balanced::Card.find('/cards/CC4TsBYO9E4IRQqg0jvrEg9i')
card.debit(
:amount => 5000,
:appears_on_statement_as => 'Statement text',
:description => 'Some descriptive text for the debit in the dashboard'
)
Interesting. Have a sample query that displays this? Like, can you not enter a label more than 120 octets into their web ui, or is it that entering the data works fine but a 'dig -t TXT yourlabel.domain.com @cloudflare's NS servers' gets truncated, or... ?
Hi rbitton,

Balanced employee here.

>> I found the process of actually taking and charging a card to be a bit cumbersome with having to tokenize the card (wait for response), create the customer record (wait for response), associate the card token (wait for response), and finally create the debit (wait for response).

Couldn't agree more. Tracking this issue here: https://github.com/balanced/balanced-api/issues/472. We will have news very shortly on some changes that you might be interested in.

>> I also like Stripe's two-factor authentication support.

This is already done AFAIK. Email me directly -- m@balancedpayments.com

>> And, on another note, I was a bit disappointed with both Balanced and Stripe's iOS libraries. They only support tokenizing a card. Though this is likely going to be the bulk of use by many people it meant creating everything else from scratch.

May I ask that you open a github issue on https://github.com/balanced/balanced-ios with exactly what you're looking for?

Thank you very much.
"Don't get sick." Gee, that's always worked so well for me. If only I'd willed myself out of getting sick on that business trip so I didn't need antibiotics and three days off. (Or having a doctor merely want to check on my cholesterol, given the latest post-insurance bill.) "Avoid injury" doesn't even merit these words.

Most risible to me, though, is the comment on bicycle physique.

Hmm, the Forbes article has been updated with specs:

UPDATE: I now have confirmation of the P2815Q’s full specs, and have listed them below. Unfortunately, it tops out at 30Hz 3840 x 2160 and 60Hz for 1920 x 1080. This should prove a deal breaker for gamers, but the monitor still has a solid feature set for the asking price.

Panel tech: Anti-glare TN (not IPS which was previously rumored)
Connections: DisplayPort (v 1.21)/Mini-DisplayPort, HDMI 1.4 (MHL 2.0), DispayPort out (MST), 1 USB upstream, 4 x USB 3.02 downstream (including 1 USB charging port with BC1.2 compliance devices on back)
Color Depth: 1.073 billion colors
Viewing angle: 170 degrees
Response time: 5ms
Brightness: 300 cd/m2
Power Consumption: 75W

....

That's a bit disappointing that it only does 30Hz at the full resolution (3840 x 2160)...
Well, 1 and 2 are the only cases where they are absolutely required, but I've seen other use cases. For example, the ClojureScript templating library Dommy uses macros to optimize selector code at compile time, which gives some impressive speedups (IIRC Prismatic found it to be twice the speed of jQuery).

> If you know that the CTE is deterministic and has no side effects, you can just treat it like a macro.

With PostgreSQL you can't really assume this. Consider this:

CREATE FUNCTION stable_random() returns double language sql as
$$ select random() $$ stable;

Now what I have done is wrapped a volatile function in a stable function. Now the planner thinks it is deterministic and will fold it into the plan in a different way. I could further mark it as immutable and allow the planner to run it once per query even if it occurs multiple times. Now: select my_random() will be treated as fully deterministic, so select my_random() a from my_table will return a list of the same singular random number (all values of a will be the same).

So how is the planner to know this? Obviously we could just let the planner decide based on function markers but then you'd run into the case where a stable function above would produce different results, while a volatile or an immutable one would produce the same result. That seems to make very little sense to me.....
I apologize, I should have said it allows you to turn a derivative work into non-free software. The link explains what is really meant (note that it isn't my opinion here).
Actually PostgreSQL allows you to write views which have optimization fences for security reasons. See security barrier views.

The opening to the article:

> You could travel the world with an infant aged under 3 and it's almost guaranteed that when they get older they won't remember a single boat trip, plane ride or sunset. This is thanks to a phenomenon, known as childhood or infantile amnesia, that means most of us lose all our earliest autobiographical memories. It's a psychological conundrum because when they are 3 or younger, kids are able to discuss autobiographical events from their past. So it's not that memories from before age 3 never existed, it's that they are subsequently forgotten.

This is obviously tremendously overblown. I could just as easily point out that people who are over 60 frequently have no memory of things (even significant things) that happened in their 20s. It's a "psychological conundrum" because people in their 20s are able to discuss current events!

Memories, no matter when they originate from, fade with disuse. We have plenty of people, here and outside, who can attest to preserving early memories. Attacking them on the grounds that those memories could be reconstructions instead of strengthened "true" memories doesn't make any sense -- all memories are reconstructions; there is no possible way to distinguish between a "true memory" and a "reconstructed memory" at any age.

All that said, the coolest experiment I know of in this area concerned visiting children still in the process of language acquisition with a "marvelous machine" designed to be highly entertaining and memorable. The experiment showed that though the children remembered the machine a (couple?) years later, when asked about their memories of it, they would describe it using only words they knew at the time of the visit.
Yes, thank you, you understood what I meant and I appreciate the clarification.
