The real world just doesn't work that way. Cops are not accountable. We need to take more responsibility for policing our own communities and spend less time demanding that more money is spent on police budgets.

These SFPD were whining about how they can't afford to live in SF, but they make as much as I do SPECIFICALLY to address that problem.

Police are "State Violence". They exist to encourage the rest of us to follow the rules for fear of SPECIFICALLY this sort of situation.

They are never, in any precinct, going to be an acceptable institution. They will not find your stolen shit, they might arrest you if you witness a tragedy, and if you want to go tell your elected representatives they are a bunch of assholes, they will come out in paramilitary gear and spray fucking pepper spray or teargas in your face.

They have one of the strongest unions in the country and their own bill of rights. Cameras are a good idea, but they're just not going to fix this.

I would love to see people in the tech industry get involved in CopWatch, talk to people that have been doing this, esp in the bay area for decades. It is ASTOUNDINGLY difficult to get even a reprimand on file. Look at Johannes Mehserle and John Pike, extreme cases, but if their behavior is above reproach, how do you think that grabbing a random person and stomping you into the ground for noncompliance while you are in a state of shock is going to get them anything but a few laughs at the cop bar.

I wish technology could fix the police, but it cannot.
Way more fun than the original!
There's still time for Shuttleworth to get pissy yet.
In my experience, Rust is currently in a phase where the correct answer to "I'd love to use rust for xyz, why doesn't it have support for that?" is typically "that's a good idea, you should add that!". That's either exciting or frustrating depending on your point of view. Unfortunately, the next logical question of "ok, how do I make and distribute a library?" currently doesn't have a satisfying answer, as they've just scrapped the package manager. It sounds like they want to hire somebody to work full-time on a replacement, so hopefully that is a temporary problem.

"hire better cops" usually translates to "pay cops more".

SF and Oakland are already amongst the highest paying police departments and neither has almost any residents of their city working for them. I have met some of the police who are natives in both cities and it's a great way to get uninvited from Thanksgiving, and with good reason.
A libertarian trusts nobody but himself? In general or just with his/her money?
It would be great if GOG would provide also the Win32 version (which works with minor glitches on modern Windows).

GOG provides the DOS version that runs using Dosbox and feels a bit slower.

Btw. to increase the resolution make it fullscreen with Alt+Enter and then press Strg+G to double the output.

Hint: to rotate the map, press Del / PageDwn. To zoom press Pos1 / End.
I don't think that is a fair reading of that email. The remark at the bottom about preserving choice is in line with what Jackson has said before.
They recommend that people who domain squat be... shunned? That seems unlikely to work.

That's badly implemented 2-factor, though. If you have a system that allows you to bypass a protocol, then of course it will be easier to... bypass that protocol.
Dungeon Keeper is the only game I've ever enjoyed in a localized, swedish voice version. It's really very well produced.

Looks like EA is directly involved in this[1]. A less charitable person would say it's their attempt to save face after their gaming media drubbing over their money-sink mobile version.

>Even now performance-critical code is assembly.

The problem I have with this statement is that it implies other code, like the kernel, a ray-tracer, video editor, number crunching etc, stuff usually done in C/C++, are not "performance critical".

Let's call what you describe "extremely performance critical" if you wish.

With that said, MOST performance critical code is written in C/C++.

Code that's not that much performance critical is written in whatever.

I agree with you, but living in a another country makes it so much easier to learn a language rather than just studying by yourself.
That's why cultural exchange programs are so common here in Brazil.
People build products related to fields they are familiar with. The percentage of us that have experience with lawn care or some other specific industry is far less than the percentage that have experience with Facebook and the like. People are wary (and rightfully so) of building a startup to "disrupt" an industry that they have no experience.
If you truly are changing the world for the better, (eg. healthcare, energy, non-profit, science, etc.) that's awesome and you should totally flaunt it.

...but if you're building another rehash of some shitty social network that helps people "connect" at a more "intimate" and "personal" level please don't say that you're changing the world. You may very well be changing the world but it'll be a shittier place when you are done.
Well, uh, either definition would apply here.

Which isn't to say that any given lawn care service is not viable, but the whole "we're doing it differently" would indicate something more than, you know, setting it up online.

That's just me and I'm a cynic. But I feel like if you're going to take a stab at a paradigm shift in an industry, you should aim higher than this.

Keep in mind, this is precisely how I found and set up my lawn service, which is just two guys. :shrug:

I don't think it will make identifying performance bottlenecks easier, but I can't see why it would make it harder, either.

Well, in the example of your demo, the system can detect individual actor-loop overruns. How do I know that this will result in a graceful degradation? What if all of the overruns happen so close together in time, the system has insufficient time to mitigate and keep out of the notice of players? If having game loops on individual actors is more efficient but otherwise semantically equivalent to having a game loop, I would like to know more about this. However, my understanding of the actor model is that it comes with built-in indeterminacy.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Actor_model#Unbounded_nondeterm...

Modern software systems are complicated; they're built on complicated middleware on top of complicated OS, on top of complicated hardware. There are tools to help you find your bottlenecks, but handicapping your application just so you'll understand it as we used to understand performance in the 80s and 90s seems like the wrong choice.

A system one can analyze is always preferable to a system that's potentially more efficient but less understandable.

I'm not trying to shoot down your architecture. I considered it for a couple of weeks, but I turned it down because I couldn't understand the risks involved. You can leave this as "an exercise for the reader" but we both understand this isn't going to win most people over. (Maybe that's your goal?)
Nice introduction to the promise concept. It's very interesting take a look to the oficial documentation https://api.jquery.com/category/deferred-object/ for more advanced features.
THIS.

Like I've said in other comments on Snowden: he had an agenda.

This wasn't just simply a case of a guy who was involved in something he couldn't stomach any longer; he went in with the intention of gaining access to materials he didn't have a right to see. He took on the persona of a mole and use the access he did have to gain the trust of people via subterfuge. THAT is how he got these documents.

If Snowden had a foreign handler, then he would be called a "spy." The jury is still out on whether or not that was the case.

I'm not taking anything away from the disclosures that were made about NSA overreach, but seriously, do we hate our government so much that we are willing to cheer when another government subverts it?
No they don't.

globalStore? Ewwwww. As the jQuery documentation states on $.when [1], the .then() callback function will be called with a number of arguments equal to those passed to $.when(), ergo in this example:

.then(function(html, css, feature) {});

Which avoids the need for a global / shared object. If you need access to these resources outside of this one callback, prefer to pass the promise object itself around; promises allow multiple 'then's to be added, either before or after the promise resolves.

I'm working on a blog post about promises and related patterns (in the context / implementation of Angular, but they're equally valid for jQuery or other promise implementations), I'll post it on HN hopefully somewhere this weekend or early next week.

I don't see any difference in volume and complexity between sysadmin work on physical iron and public cloud systems.

Everything you are describing applies to VPS systems.

There are differences, but those have more to do with optimal use of resources, and in that aspect managing cloud systems is actually more complicated. At least the behavior of your own physical systems is consistent and predictable.

Besides touching physical machines, what is it you think a sysadmin for cloud systems doesn't do?

Something here doesn't make sense:

- They can afford to spend $900m on a shitty app like this that no one uses

but...

- They pay the average 31 year old engineer in Tokyo (arguably the most expensive city in the world) a measly $66K http://jobtalk.jp/company/1527_earns.html

- None of their international subsidiaries have any real traction (buy.com, play.com, kobo)

Ugh, I know this is par for course, but these kind of articles really irritate me. Especially passages like these:

> People with connected smartphones or tablets anywhere in the world have access to many (if not most) of the same communication resources and information that we do while sitting in our offices at MIT. They can search the Web and browse Wikipedia. They can follow online courses, some of them taught by the best in the academic world. They can share their insights on blogs, Facebook, Twitter, and many other services, most of which are free. They can even conduct sophisticated data analyses using cloud resources such as Amazon Web Services and R, an open source application for statistics.

A. What does this have to do with artificial intelligence?

B. Access to technology does not equal access to ability to use that technology. I would argue that the problem isn't that people don't have access to powerful statistical processing and analytical software, it's that they don't know what to do with it, or with the plenty powerful software that has been available to them in the past decade. The parallel construction of "Everyone can now share stuff on Facebook" with "Everyone can now do statistical analyses via R and Hadoop!" is a gross error of characterization by the OP.

> From my perspective the fact that good people were clearly split suggests that either option would work perfectly well.

It's a nice rationality gem right here. If the costs and benefits of both options you're choosing from balance each other out, instead of carefully searching for optimal solution that will yield little marginal utility benefit you may as well toss a coin and be done with it.
Clint Mansell's original soundtrack is absolutely fantastic. I read they managed to get him involved in the film because it was during the writers strike 07-08 (remember that?!) and Hollywood had ground to a halt, hence Mansell and ilk were looking for projects to keep them active.

I like your song, but it's a different vibe. To my ear, it sounds a bit too military to be Moon. I do like the vintage synth sounds though!

Productivity isn't something that can be forced; there's some good books out there on the subject. The 'grueling work' you described (and likewise) remind me of Stephen Covey's quadrants [1] (and similar); being in one quadrant (grueling work being 'urgent but not important') too much will cause someone to go to another for escape (not important, non-urgent tasks; distractions). It's important to find a balance there, for both personal planning and if you're a resource planner / project manager / scrum master / whatever

You're overlooking the fact that the cyclist in question ran a light and then tried to school a cop. Being arrested under the circumstance is not abuse - on the contrary it's just about standard procedure. Do you really expect you can give a cop lip - while being cited for a traffic violation - and skip away?

When you have an altercation with a cop, give at least the respect you expect to receive.
I've always loved GOG's value proposition: DRM-free, old-school exe installers on your disk, no activation needed, no limit on the number of installs, can redownload at any time with all associated assets.

No confusion over who actually owns the games. You buy a copy of a game, not some ill-defined permission to play a game.

I'm just concerned these constant promotions will condition their customers to always wait for the next massive sale, never paying full price for anything. Isn't that unsustainable?
Has anyone else ran across this before?
My suggestion: go get a non-technical person, sit them down with a laptop, and give them the url. Don't tell them what it is or anything else. Watch how they react + interact. IMO you have some significant UX issues and you'd do yourself a favor if your testing included non-technical users.

Or perhaps they've seen the relative age of fans while on tour and decided that introducing their music to a newer generation could allow them to keep performing and making a living.
>>> This move is genius: it increases artists' exposure.

Only if people actually find out who De La Soul is. Considering they started in 1987 and their last album was out in 2009, I'm not sure most kids this side of 1997 really know who they are or care about their music.

It would be cool if they did get the exposure. I feel without a concentrated PR campaign, besides a few articles over the next few days, not sure their sales are going to get a big bounce from doing this.
Steady state means stopping all research, just in case you discover something that upsets the applecart. More accurate to say that no modern economy can be run without trying to grow, whether it succeeds or not.

Well, I think there would be a level of interpersonal trust. That wouldn't go away.

But there is much in day-to-day life that we all trust to at least a Lowest Common Level that would no longer exist in a Libertarian world.

For example, did you visit an office building today? How do you know it won't fall in on you? Today you know because it was built to certain specifications set forth in regulation. You know the builders were certified and that the inspectors made sure no corners were cut (at least in a well functioning system as we generally have in the U.S.) In a Libertarian world that might be taken over by some sort of for profit certification body...or it might not. The onus would be on you to find out before you walk through the door and put your life in the hands of people you've never met.
They've also got Temple of Elemental Evil at 80% off at the moment. That's one of the most under-appreciated D&D games I've ever played. The turn-based combat is rich and interesting without dragging to a crawl. Unfortunately it's marred by bugs, though the unofficial patches alleviate most (but not quite all) of that problem. It's the closest to a true pencil and paper experience I've ever had on the computer.
Well, since you have tried every including cold calling, cold emailing, reaching out to food blogs, etc. etc.

I would advice you to create a free report explaining marketing tips which can help restaurant owners, managers and social media team to boost their business using different strategies and send it across to the key decision makers accompanying with a webinar (Which can be automated using tools available like WebinarJam, etc.) which should be a short 20-50 minutes depending on your plan.

This ways you can ask them to participate in a webinar which cost their business XXXX$ lose if they don't attend it. And its worth XX$ to attend generally but since you want to advice them and talk to them as an advisor or conselor point of standing can really help them out.

This ways you will be engaging your clients in from a different vantage point. And also talk about your system in this webinar on a personal level. Talk about how your product is already helping other clients by talking about case studies with clients who have already utilized your service and are reaping the benefits of using your product.

Just a thought...if you need more info about how to set it up. Let me know. Will become more description.

Advantage of using this kinda strategy will be many.

1. Set you apart.
2. Excite them
3. You help them before hand. Even before asking them to try your service.
4. They know you care, understand their pain, problems.
5. You basically create it like an event. Making them understand if they don't participate then your competitors will. And they will have a first movers advantage.

I concur. The lack of detail seems bogus. Just because someone used Snowden's keyboard to log in once, theoretically allowing Snowden to intercept the password, doesn't mean that that Snowden actually logged the guy's password. Seems like they want scapegoats.

We understand that AWS comes at a premium, however we find the opportunity cost of losing the agility we have on AWS at this stage of our organization more expensive than the delta in cost between moving on to our own hardware and AWS.

Our organization is acutely aware of our costs and still strives to minimize them. Our move to Cassandra saved 79% over continuing to run our reserved SSD nodes & backup replica.
