HILARIOUS PRANK CALL TO BUILD-A-BEAR WORKSHOP
This prank call is full of comedy. Enjoy it.
That's true. It would be nice for a true alternative. I still think about it from time-to-time. My Scheme project was to be a SchemeOS. It wasn't even the sheer amount of work that got to me, and ultimately did it in. It was the realization that I'd have to go it completely alone.

I was a lurker for years when the TUNES project was going on. I won't say a new "from scratch" OS is impossible, but I will say that TUNES ended up with a death by a thousand bike sheds. Linux worked thanks to POSIX and other *ix systems in existence. The groundwork was there. There was a model. Anyone that wanted to contribute knew what a Unix looked like and how a Unix functioned.

Not so with any LispOS. Or TUNES. It's a new thing, wholly different from anything that existed before. The few people that had access to Genera weren't going to want to replicate that for reasons that become apparent when using it (it's quite outmoded in many ways). And since there was no Genera community and nothing to really salvage there, it made more sense to start over anyway.

With all that said, I believe the true appeal of a LispOS is that it's homogeneous. It's Lisp from top-to-bottom. Which means it's great for programming at any level, great for productivity. But not so great for people that love variety in languages.
The market leaders cannot/will not implement large breaking features taken from market losers. It's the same reason why most of WebOS's innovations haven't been adopted, and those that have have done so in a much more muted way.

"Their lawyers + your lawyers + award" < "what the company is willing to spend as a roadblock" then the company does it. Doesn't matter if they'll win or not, just is the roadblock worth the cost? Or if its not, then it doesn't.

It seems you are conflating testing and TDD, they are different things.

However the benefits of testing can seem rather obvious if you are in the software industry. We hire people to do QA, and if the developers write tests, we can hire fewer people to do QA and still meet reliability targets. Software development is a loop: design -> code -> test, over and over again, and automated testing means that the code is still fresh in your mind when you fix it.

But it sounds like you're wondering, "why test at all?" Well, would you sell a car or a table saw that had never been tested to a customer?

We thought of spriting the thumbnails on the server, but this introduces a few problems:

- All thumbs would have to be available on the server before the sprite can be encoded, which defeats progressive rendering. (Progressively encoding JPEG might be a possibility, but this isn't something we explored.)

- The additional cost of encoding/decoding a large image on the server/client.

Calling my numbers "lunacy" will, unfortunately, not change the laws of physics. If you drive twice as fast, air drag multiplies by four, and the energy to overcome that air drag has to come from somewhere. At highway speeds air drag is the only appreciable force at work. Tire drag makes a little bit of difference too, but that will be more than canceled out by the fact that ICE efficiency drops at higher RPMs.

Your "long-haul truck" citation is irrelevant to this discussion because those numbers are for drastically slower speeds than the ones you're talking about.
Is our world particularly people-centric? It may be just what we are used to. If I want to mail something to someone, I go to a post office or a post box and mail it. If I want to have dinner with the family, I go to the dining room or the kitchen with food. If I want to talk face to face with someone, I physically walk to the location that "contains" them (office/room/house) and talk to them.

People are not instantly available objects that we interact with in the real world, so I imagine the "block" is somewhere in there.
I'm confused. Is this being given tasks, showing off existing projects or working together on mutually decided projects?

It wasn't to me either. I think it has something to do with the 302 redirect. I've never used FB Connect though, so maybe the 302 involves the fb/connect url? Replace your FB url with the victim's, and since you've already authenticated with FB, the web site will accept your token as authorization to the victim's account?
Its pretty much a wash on the math. you save 400 miles of navigation when you gain 10/mph for 40 hours (a typical navigatin time). This probably costs you 1x extra stops, if you are stopping every 280 miles (=10 stops in 2800 miles). If you are getting 240 you are stopping = 11 times), but you are taking 1 extra hour for that stop. You would have to drive the 400 miles in that one extra hour to make up the difference. At least on my napkin, maybe I am wrong.
I felt like a disproportionate amount of mine were in Australia.
Exactly; their behaviour is still extremely friendly to the spammers/trackers.
Just doing some quick numbers (not related to current specific locations of quick chargers and gas stations), stopping 30 minutes every 170 miles would add a bit over 6 and a half hours of stopping to a LY->NYC trip.

LA -> NYC is about 2,800 miles. If you had to stop for 30 minutes every 170 miles, that'd be 16.5 stops, for a total of about 8.25 hours of charging stops.

If you assume 25mpg in a car with a 12 gallon tank, and 10-minutes per gas station stop, the same 2,800 mile trip would require about 9.5 gas stops, or about 1.5 hours worth of total gas stops.

In the real world for drivers not going straight through, you're going to be spending at least a couple nights in a hotel when you could (assumedly) plug your car in overnight, as well as starting out with a full charge and more like 240 miles of range in the mornings. So I expect the real world difference would be about 4-5 hours of additional time waiting around for your car to charge in a Tesla vs. a traditional gas car. Not a huge difference on a 46 hour drive.

However, the mental difference of being forced to stop 30 minutes every 170 or so miles might make it feel like much longer than an additional 4-5 hours.

You'd also save about $365 in fuel costs in a Tesla vs. a gas car, but that's probably not a huge concern when you've already purchased a $75K+ car to begin with.

What is it that about Java or C++ or OOP that you think makes their static typing useless?

Hindley-Milner is actually a poor type system. It trades away powerful features like overloading and subtyping in exchange for global type inference. Scala, like C++ and C#, does not use Hindley-Milner but a kind of local type inference.

Better, but you need to stop ranking by points and switch to a relevance metric. There are two main issues right now: A lost of the posts are really old, and the results are plain bad. Here's some results I get when I search for "Go" again:

1. Reddit to go dark on Jan 18 to protest SOPA
2. Go Daddy No Longer Supports SOPA
3. Why we can't go back to business as usual post-PRISM
4. Right click and save as needs to go away

and so on. You could for example, instead of just maching a single keyword, look at the post contents and comments, and see if that keyword appears multiple times. A discussion about Golang is bound to have more entries of "Go" than "Go Daddy no longer supports SOPA".

>the whole point of the article in Reuters is that the job is not steady and reliable any more

That's circular reasoning where this thread is concerned. People are saying here that corporations should be sharing the upside with employees. You are saying that since they are not, people should start businesses. You're changing the subject and giving the corporations a pass.

>to the extent that it's hard to start a business because of government regulation (which is a large extent), the obvious response is to remove the regulations that make it hard to start a business.

Sorry about the delay. Took me a while to wipe the vomit from keyboard.

Seriously, while these regulatory complaints are something that we tend to hear from people with certain political affiliations, I challenge you to cite references to actual regulations that are to any "large extent" preventing actual small businesses from starting. In fact, the implication in the Reuter's article is that businesses are doing just fine in the current regulatory environment. They are more profitable than ever at the expense of the worker.

And, I think the HN populace exemplifies the actual difficulty in starting successful businesses. I doubt many here will cite regulations as a key challenge. Instead, it's actual business problems, such as product development, finding market-fit, competition, marketing, lack of capital, inability to scale, etc.
The doctrine does not say that the President alone gets to decide the definition of war and the location of the war zone. What's war and what is crime can be fuzzy at the edges, but it's not something courts have hesitated to tackle, and at the end of the day is subject to a simple rule of thumb: if the attack originates from within, it's a crime, and if it originates from outside, it's an act of war.

Note the case of Nidal Malik Hasan, who was in contact with Al Awlaki before he killed 13 people at Fort Hood. The Department of Defense classified it as "workplace violence" rather than an act of terrorism, and it was absolutely the right call. The evidence showed that Hasan acted alone, and not at the direction of some external organization.
In a nutshell, we fire a server-side event when a user is created. What happens is that we're using oauth to authenticate, which then screws up the referring data.

Convert the freelance consulting to a consulting agency. The business model is now to hire one more person (either a colleague or someone new) and have them help out in the work.

Over time, if the people are good, you should be able to get revenue from their work.

Privacy as a Service with centralized servers isn't "swat proof."
"OK" and "allowed" in this context practically refers to whether and what the host/target country will do about it. If that's "nothing" or very close thereto, then by Law Of The Jungle (which is the nature of military action) the answer is "yes". If that's "the perpetrators will be hunted down & killed, and the presiding government overthrown, and maybe another country's government will also get overthrown while we're at it", then the answer is "no".

The point of military action is that all other viable diplomatic options have been exhausted, and something must be done to stop an avowed enemy. We're not going to sit around waiting for known terrorists to carry out successful attacks on innocents before doing something to stop them. "Reflective contemplation is not required in the presence of an upraised knife." Once such military action is deemed necessary, the question then is whether a single drone destroying a few rooms and their occupants with zero direct risk to US troops is (or isn't) preferable to destroying several city blocks (at minimum) and their occupants with significant risk to our personnel. You demand proof, but only from a position of prejudiciously rejecting any given.
Communication tools that people use heavily enough to care about acquire a context beyond just "Who I can communicate with". As the recipient, for the majority of my routine communications I get information from medium > sender > content, even though all ways of reaching me just make my phone jingle.

The series of decisions that results in me calling someone is so radically different than the one that results in IMing them that I'd never find it useful to start with a person and then decide to IM or call.

I'm about as often in the task-oriented position of thinking "I should call someone" or "I wonder who's awake on jabber" as the person-oriented position anyway.

As you will. Not that this changes a thing, the Model S's efficiency will also drop further, thus further lowering its range. The issue remains, even driving at inane speeds, the Tesla will have a significantly lower range than the 535d.

302 redirects preserve the URL's hash, which contains the access token in the JS SDK.

Thus, if a site has URLs that can be constructed to make a 302 to an attacking site, like https://www.google.com/redirect?url=http://www.example.com/, it's possible to craft a redirect URL that would take you to the authentication dialog but return the token to a redirect URL which will in turn pass the token to the attacker.

Your link says that those are "estimated fuel consumptions", but I'm somewhat inclined to doubt the veracity of these estimates: between 120 km/h and 240 km/h wind drag is going to quadruple, and ICEs get lower efficiency at higher RPM. So if the efficiency falls by less than 50% when you double the speed, then that implies that tire drag and internal friction represent the majority of the force you're overcoming at highway speeds, which is definitely incorrect. Something doesn't add up.

Say I want to browse the web. Or check my inbox. Or read Hacker News. Or get a file off of my Dropbox. Or read an ebook.

None of those things are "people-centric", e.g. they aren't tied to a single (other) person. People-centric UI doesn't make sense because I use my computer for interacting with many users at once simultaneously through websites, mail, etc. If I'm not doing that, I may be interacting with my personal data. And probably least commonly, I am interacting with a single person. So "person-centric" (not people-centric", despite what the title claims) design isn't taking off because I'm not interacting with one single person for the majority of my time when I use technology.
