Anybody know of solid super-entry level tutorials for starting Web Development with Haskell with less opinionated libraries like Scotty? Something that shows you how to slap together a solid cabal sandboxed ready-to-deploy application that's a mix of Scotty/Persistant/Esqueleto and all the other basics?

Clojure has "Web Development with Clojure" which is basically what I listed above, except for Clojure rather than Haskell.
There is also sshfs which builds on top of fuse. This is also available for Mac OS X via fuseosx, install through homebrew.
You appear to be asking a legal question, which means you absolutely 100% need to speak to a lawyer. You must not rely on advice from strangers on the internet. People posting here don't even know what jurisdiction you're in; they can't possibly be providing you with the best legal advice. Most good lawyers will give you a consultation for free. Take them up on it!

> It's over, isn't it? Let's just be honest with ourselves for a moment - privacy is dead

Yes. If not now, it will be. I say this for two reasons.

1. The commercial value in killing privacy is too high. Nearly every company you deal with (and nearly every individual you deal with in matters that concern money) is much better off the more private information they can find out about you.

We've grown reliant on email and text messaging, and on social networking, and on internet search, and on internet shopping, so that nearly everything we do is a potential leak of information to some entity that can profit from that information.

Almost no one is willing to disentangle themselves from that to the extent that would be necessary to maintain privacy. Some might leave Facebook, or switch from Google to Duck Duck Go, but there are so many ways your privacy gets compromise that plugging one or two holes doesn't really save you.

2. I think that physical threats are going to increase, largely due to technology. Things that currently would take a well organized and well funded terrorist organization are going to eventually be in the reach of your random crazy person. People that nowadays are limited to crude bombs that take out a few people will be able to readily build large bombs that kill dozens or hundreds. I expect home-made biological weapons to become relatively easy at some point, adding a whole new level of destructive capability.

I think we'll reach a point where disgruntled ex-employees, disgruntled ex-boyfriends or ex-girlfriends, members of religious and political cults, and the like are killing more people a year than all the major terrorist groups combined can do.

Since these attacks will be coming from within, often from people who seem pretty ordinary until they go off the deep end, my guess is that there will be no way to prevent them other than extensive surveillance.

Since the above two factors make loss of privacy inevitable in my opinion, I think the focus should be on making sure our information is not misused, rather than trying to stop it from being gathered at all.

Take surveillance. I think we need to automate it. Get humans out of the loop. I don't care if AI spies on me, as long as it only alerts humans when it sees me doing something bad (or if it sees that I need aid), and we have sufficient public auditing to ensure this.
C has enums, and it's true that they can be implicitly used as ints and sometimes that can be bad, but here they just weren't used. I'm not sure what you think C could have done differently. It's not obvious to me that the current enums aren't good enough for this particular purpose, for example. This feels more like a culture thing than a language thing.

And note that 2/3 of the bugs you're claiming, apply to all weakly typed languages, of which there are many. Python would not have prevented them, for example. Showcasing them as problems with C seems somehow fishy. (I don't mean to imply dubious motivations on your part, I just get the feeling of "there's something not quite right with this argument".)
I did some digging and evidently there are many assumptions defining the search for Dyson spheres. One is that the output of the sphere would still equal the output of the star it surrounds, just at a lower frequency. The other has something to do with the ratio of Helium and Hydrogen and the makeup of 'normal' matter ratios in the universe. I don't understand it, but it sounds like it might be a checkmark against the likelihood of massive numbers of spheres.

Not knowing something is not proof something else exists. Time will bear out the truth - hopefully in my lifetime.

We are an early-stage startup that is redefining the guest experience at hotels worldwide. We're looking for a few talented front-end and iOS developers to join our small, but growing team.

Front-end engineers should have expert knowledge in HTML/CSS/JavaScript as well as JavaScript frameworks (Backbone, AngularJS, Marionette). We also need iOS developers.

If this sounds interesting, send a short note to jobs@keypr.com. Please include links to any code or relevant work samples, and be sure to mention you're from HN.

Cheers!
No one said it wasn't. But this conservative advocacy group did both.

> Devoting every waking moment to your job

I agree.

But a startup is more than a job. The mentality I had as an employee is much different than what I had as a founder.

Some start-ups are like rocket ships, and they just take off and wildly successful.

More often than not, most startups don't have that amazing trajectory right off the bat. My personal belief is that taking that extra hour to perfect a feature, or refine a pitch, or do customer outreach, or test your product, is what separates the rest of the startups--ones that make it to the next level, with those that don't.

There is some element of luck and skill involved, but it's that championship drive that is required.

Do you need time to ensure you don't crash and burn-yeah, I'm totally with that. Perhaps the poster's way to let off steam is to go to parties, which seems doubtful--though I suspect he probably doesn't really go to a lot of parties, and that it was more of a figure of speech.

ABCD for kids with Augmented Reality
One interesting point is the agreement with Ukraine in favor of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons [1]. To sum it up roughly, Ukraine ended up with a lot of nuclear devices after the split of USSR. Since nuclear powers wanted to avoid the spread of the deadly weapon, they convinced Ukraine into getting rid of its nuclear arsenal. In exchange, US, Russia, UK and France agreed to respect and help defend Ukraine's borders.

So, it would seem that Russia did violate this agreement but there remains to see what other countries will do. One thing to underline is that they would have to respond to a call for help from Ukraine and, with the ousting of the Ukrainian government, it is still unclear who is to make the call.

The strategy of Russia might just have been to play on this period of uncertainty to claim some of Ukraine's territory. Because the US-Russia relation is still similar to the one from during the Cold War, they might really want to avoid a direct conflict with Russia. Until the situation in Ukraine is settled, Russia can move its troops without having to face the US. Once it's settled, the US will probably not want to engage a fight and will not push them back out of Ukraine.

tl;dr: Russia might be on a conquer-and-hold over Crimea

Edit: the agreement is the Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances [2]

Now whether that advice would stick in the students' heads

Certainly not all, by a long shot. Here in Australia, you get a couple of grand to help you out when you have a baby, helping cover various initial costs, purchasing prams or whatever.

A friend of mine mentioned that he'd heard his 17-year-old daughter talking with her friends about having a baby because then you get that baby money. They saw it as a huge windfall and don't understand that all that money and more is needed to set yourself up for a child, nor that a child significantly changes your lifestyle and activity choices, especially for someone around 20.

It's not to say that everyone at that age has no forethought, but as a demographic, they're not good at long-term planning.
Scheme's extremely simple* but it's a perverse simplicity.

My experience from tutoring CS students in Scheme back in the day was that it usually either clicked immediately, or not at all. The folks who'd perhaps never get good at it aren't necessarily poor programmers. I don't know that any of them were great programmers, but that might be my prejudice as someone who was having a hard time teaching them a programming language. Some of them went on to get more impressive ones than the one I have, so probably definitely it was just prejudice. Anyway, the point remains, I've met a lot of people who struggled with Scheme, and it was most certainly not for want of smarts. My best guess is that it's just that the language is only suitable for people who have a certain approach to thinking that's perhaps unusual.

* And beautiful - easily one of the most lovely languages I know.

(1) Because he clearly stated why he got out of the car. The fact that you suggest he call 911 to avoid a catastrophe, and then suggest he remain in the car to "partcipate" in the catastrophe, should be a hint something is amiss in your advice.

"the psychological effect of borrowing from the government - I think people tend to feel safer doing this than borrowing from an obviously competitive private firm. If you read the article, the casual attitude of student debtors to defaulting on their loans shows this - the government has no teeth. The private firm goes bankrupt if it doesn't get a return on investment. "

All of the above is incorrect.

(a) Student loans in the US are mostly not from the government in the first place, they are from private investors or banks that the schools have made deals with. The USG role is guaranteeing them.

(b) Generally, in classical capitalism, firms will go bankrupt if they don't get adequate returns on investment - but this situation has been distorted by the government guarantees. They get reimbursed if the debtor defaults, and carry on. By exploiting this subsidy they make big profits, that's why they're in it.

(c) I don't know about student-loan-borrower attitudes, but their debt and enforcement of it are not casual. The GSLs are not dischargeable in bankruptcy, so they are basically a lifelong burden unless paid off. And defaulters are subject to wage garnishment and other onerous court judgments.
Agree to 51%, call a shareholder meeting and elect a new board of directors, then have the board fire them all.

Fuck them over by drawing it out in court until the market opportunity dies. While it's going through court, open source it, and make sure every potential investor knows about the court proceedings.
Hope is not lost in this situation - you just have to work at it more. I'm a stellar mind who also went to public schools for undergrad and grad, but I focused on self-development and networking after.

I went from $50k a year to likely over $120k (that is in negotiation) in the span of 1 1/2 years of hard effort &learning.

I too racked up lots of debt from school, about $200k total. I am forced to focus on money because of this. I made the decision to go all in on developing my career & making the decisions I deferred until after grad school.
I'm confused about one thing. All news outlet are reporting this as "occupation of Crimea" as if Crimea was not politically a part of Ukraine proper, as if Russian army in Crimea is not the same as Russian army in the Ukraine even though Crimea is part of the Ukraine. Why is that? Is it because the majority of Crimea's population is ethnically Russian? Or is Crimea a disputed territory, like Abkhazia?
In the example of the Apple bug, I've read it took eighteen months (!!) to discover it after it has been committed in the source code base. As a consequence, I would be interested in knowing, for each bug, the time it took to discover them.

Also, I assume that once discovered, the time to fix it is usually negligible. Usually. And as long as you don't count the time for full deployment in production...
It's always amazed me that some people get to pick which colleges to go to. I never had that option. Until I turned 24, the maximum financial aid available to me was a measly $5,000 stafford loan. There aren't many places you can attend with only $5,000. That won't even pay for an in state public university in virtually every state. The colleges I spoke with told me that if I didn't have the money, I should wait until I turned 24 and try again. That was a long half decade wait.

You have to have a rich relative available to cosign for all those private loans--federal loans for dependents are capped at about $5,000/year, and independents get about $10,000/year. The total lifetime amount is capped at about $60,000, which is why I'm sometimes skeptical of "I have $200,000 in student loan debt! I'm so poor and oppressed!" stories. It's very likely that these people are just fine because their family will eventually bail them out no matter how many bad choices they make--they're legally obligate to. Student loan companies don't loan money to people without collateral.
Oh my...

"Too often investors look at short-term returns and are unaware of corporate policy decisions that may affect long-term financial prospects. After today's meeting, investors can be certain that Apple is wasting untold amounts of shareholder money to combat so-called climate change. The only remaining question is: how much?" [1]

Let's all ignore climate change. Clearly that would give us better long-term financial prospects. And will definitely not be a huge economic disaster.

> You can grind your teeth at the rest of the podcast where the administrators claim a lot of this cost is building amenities and facilities that students now expect out of a high-tier college like all-single dorms, a myriad of cafeteria options, and 24/7/365 library and IT staffing.

I've seen a fair number of universities in the U.S. and other similarly developed countries, and one of the most striking differences I've noticed is that U.S. university physical plants tend to be really nice — super well-maintained and frequently renovated, "deluxe" feeling — whereas even top-tier universities in other countries often feel a bit threadworn and sometimes even kind of run-down, even if they have beautiful old buildings. The latter function perfectly well as universities, mind you, but the impression is that they're being pretty careful with their maintenance budget....
In my email, I have "Waiting for reply" and "To reply" labels (besides a few others). An algorithmic solution to auto-apply the labels would be nice (currently all new outgoing emails are labelled as "Waiting for reply").

"Climate Change Denier" is a term coined by radical environmentalists in an attempt to paint their opponents as crazy and stupid. Most rational people don't deny that climate change is occurring. Many people simply side with scientists that have examined the facts and determined that human attempts at trying to control climate change are about as effective as Indian rain dances.

That said, Tim Cook's response was correct. The measure this group proposed was actually very broad. They wanted the company to base all decisions on ROI only. Had it been adopted by the board, it would have instantly opened the company up to a flood of shareholder lawsuits over any number of expenditures that don't directly generate profits.
Half the country wants to be part of Russia's Economic market and the other half want to be part of the EU economic market.

Are either markets in a position to take on Ukraine in the state it is in, who knows fully.

Russia also have a vested interest in parts of the Ukraine and the EU has none, beyond growing the members list realestate wise. The part of the country Russia has a vested interest is also the part that wants to be apart of the Russian market, so whilst democracy does play a part it does get down to a yes or no type approach in choice. Which is perhaps the real issue in how it is applied and for Ukraine I can see the country splitting into two, appeaseing both mindsets with regards to economic market.

I just hope Ukraine has a say and allows the logicle approach that appeases the people in a way that could appease both and place the country into a unique position which would enable it to gain from the Russian and the EU market. But sadly other contries will want to show face, even if not effected and this may cause esculation and force Ukraine into a position that blinds it from looking at all options and what might be the best choice and a slice of each cake. But it would be nice if that chocie was enabled. We have Russia standing by the Russian market embracing and the EU and USA in effect behind the rest.

Either way, if the pissfest by the World leaders progresses then Ukraine will be sadly left out of debating what happens in its own country, nomatter what the people want and when it is near a 50/50 split then maybe that would be better way on many levels and keep all happy. But if done wrongly then it will be East/West Germany and a step back in progress in diplomacy for many years.

Still, however you feel, it is one news item that will rollon for a while. Heck if Scotland can vote for independance the maybe part of Ukrain needs to be allowed the same and save many milatary operations. Though not seen any World leader suggest that avenue of progress as some seem stuck in the cold war mentality or at least there advisers are.
Crimea is a semi-autonomous region of the Ukraine. They elect their own PM, etc.

Russia is still technically invading a sovereign nation, though the line gets smudged somewhat because of Crimea's status.

Isn't there some legitimacy to Russia's claims that the new ruling government is made up of fascists, anti-semites, and russophobes?

NPR recently had a speaker that denied this calling it Russian propaganda and I bought that but today I saw that the guardian mentions in the article at http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/feb/28/ukraine-genuine... , that there does seem to be a very strong ultra rightest component to it in the Svodoba party https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Svoboda_(political_party) .

So far, members of the Svodoba are "deputy prime minister for EU integration, interior, justice, energy, infrastructure, defense, culture, social issues,". According to wikipedia, these guys were initially inspired by the Nazis. So apparently, literally fascists.

The protesters fought against corruption and cronyism, but was their fight hijacked by these Svodobans?
