Yeah, but they usually allow some level of payment or some time period before they call it late.
Tried it a month or so ago. Couldn't get Vim keybindings working well. Hands don't work without it anymore :/
Am I crazy for preferring the one on the left (nearest-neighbour)? The other two really mess up certain details such as the point numbers, the stem of the fruits and pokey's eyes.

They also tend to cause a very subtle distortion of the outlines of foreground sprites as they move over the background.
I have never seen that in the United States. Where is that true?
Same here. I've been 17 when my mother died of cancer. Reading this, I'm happy to live in Germany.
I realize that. However you brought up the Houston system in response to a comment that only discussed wifi. After bringing up the Houston system in your comment you said people concerned about privacy should "just turn wifi off." Anyone coming along and reading this thread would realistically conclude that the Houston system used WiFi and that they could avoid the Houston system's tracking by "just turning wifi off."

I thought it would be important to let others know that "just turning wifi off" would not be an effective measure against a system that uses bluetooth.
But... Helvetica!!
Granted they started this effort a while ago but would be pretty boss if hypothetically they built this on Dart
This response isn't that cynical, it's pretty accurate. I've been using Calm for about 6 months now and while it's been very nice and beneficial for my use cases, I truly believe meditation is a solely physical experience that will ONLY be hindered by the introduction of technology.
As I said, they are definitely incompetent.

However, it's quite clear that this is a bug, and it could have affected them, and they could be telling the truth, contrary to what the original article says.
Uneducated, inexperienced, poor people cannot compete for a job that pays that well. It would be trivial to staff the store with much higher quality candidates from farther away. Unless this specific TJ makes an explicit commitment to hire extremely local folks, then there will not be any working there.
Violence of all sorts is not even in the top 10 anymore for the average US citizen.

Sadly, the "free" government healthcare provided to Native Americans and Veterans is horrible, too.

right on that! its like reading on a bouncy rainbow painted unicorn... what?
I'm European, and I perfectly understand this approach. Increased taxes can go to increased services (and they do, in some countries), or they can go into the pockets of corrupt government officials (which they do, in many other countries). It's insane to pay higher taxes, and see no benefit in return. I often wish my own country had much lower taxes, to "starve the beast", in a way.
Texts from companies can be great when they're informational, e.g. parcel tracking, appointment reminders ('the engineer will arrive in the next 30 minutes') and so on. But these are all better IMO when they are accompanied by an actual real phone number that you can contact in case of a query. So in my eyes, short codes are worse.
Roslyn doesn't prevent you from doing that though. You still need to validate, filter and run your code in a sandbox.
They forgot natural neighbour interpolation... Should show better results then their research ;)
I think it's designed to limit dilution of existing shareholders.
I do that currently, but using the local graphical editor. I just mount the ssh path to my local FS using Expandrive. It's not free but I can recommend it.
I didn't say it's what's supposed to happen when a business fails, I said bad businesses are supposed to fail. We can't talk about what happened yet, the incident is still in progress. For all we know the acquisition rumours are true, Gox will reappear under new management and investors will be compensated.
For a counter-point, I eat an extremely meat heavy diet and have a superb CRP number (.23).

It's more likely about avoiding low quality meats, which unfortunately is what 95% of the meat produced in the US is.
Anyone have a tl;dw?
I find it a bit difficult to imagine how Mtgox could be merely average in irresponsibility.
Quoting the first post

"*2nd reason would be gun violence."

The frequency of violence in the US is lower, but the death rate due to violence is much higher. Violence seems to be much more lethal in the US, for some reason.

I couldn't agree with the article more. I should have come up with a different tl;dr for the previous post, considering everything I wrote in this thread has specifically been about corporations and not startups. Sorry about the confusion.

As an Emacs user, I find it funny to hear 3-5 years be referred to as "the long run".

Also, Sublime Text won't be leading until it has a package with more features than Org mode. ;-)
They aren't necessarily worried about the cargo simply offsetting the weight. It's the fact that the space previously used for the bridge and human living area is used for cargo instead. Ultimately this would increase the shipment to fuel ratio per cargo ship.
You already can, just load up a crosh window and enter your chroot. Take your pick of vim or emacs or whatever other console editor. Or, if you're enterprising, you can run a window manager on the same X display and use any GUI editor, but the integration is a bit wacky.
I love that anecdotes are considered worthless in medicine when in fact they're very clearly good places to start.

Take an anecdote and do a small population study to try and find correlation. Then if there are any significant results, start looking for causation.

In history nothing is legit except for primary sources. In medicine, it seems, primary sources -- no matter how compelling -- are worth a damn. Hilarious.
I was just picking a country that seemed to me to be as good a country as any, with their own methods of law, their own values etc. who has remained productive as a nation.

I think I may be learning I might not have the same definition of "western" as some people. I had always imagined Western as referring to Western Europe and the US but now I think there is a colloquial phrasing that uses western as a synonym for modern. If that is the case I think this next century is about to get really confusing...

I think Andrew Weil's books are a good common sense source on supplements and he recommends fish oils purified to exclude mercury and PCB's. For counterexamples, I've noticed a few people taking quite large dosages of B complex vitamins. Dr. Weil notes that mega doses of B3 and B6 can cause problems including irreversible nerve damage. He also recommends against resveratrol supplements, another trendy thing.
who cares. maybe if '3rd world' devs actually produced better code and contributed to community (more than just joining IRC, asking for help, then leaving without saying thanks), they might be able to make a better name for themselves and in turn be able to bargain for better conditions.
In what sense do you consider bitcoin to be a currency that "cannot be" regulated?

Do you mean that it cannot be regulated because there isn't an effective way for governments to exert control over how much of it is produced? I don't see that as being particularly worrying. No more so than foreign currencies are worrying... does Iceland worry that they cannot control the production of Argentine pesos?

Do you mean in the sense that businesses that use it cannot be regulated? Because that is obviously false. Of course businesses which use bitcoin can be regulated. Why couldn't they be? As VMG points out, the regulation of bitcoin businesses is not hypothetical; they are regulated.

Do you mean in the sense that bitcoins cannot be taxed? Because that is also obviously false. Here is how the IRS could tax bitcoin: "Attention American taxpayers: report your bitcoin shit, or we will nail you for tax evasion and send your ass to jail." How the hell do you think they tax all-cash businesses?

Bitcoin does not fundamentally change the game like many people seem to think it does.
Fuller disclosure: you're just another spammer.

"Create artificial urgency by compressing your meetings."

Urgency. Yes. The above stands out as being true from my experience in any type of negotiation at all. It's the opposite of the "time kills all deals". Every negotiation needs a deadline and a reason to get people off the fence and make a decision (either way). Don't let things drag on. Don't give people the impression that you will always be around.

Also, don't do obvious telegraphs like "I have the following days opening" which essentially any person who takes meetings knows actually means "I am always available".

"Another cheap idea: Create a keyword campaign for the top investors on your list. Use their names as the keywords. They sure as hell Google themselves, and when they do, there you are."

My personal feeling is that this is a waste for several reasons. It obviously assumes that people will google themselves on a regular basis but also assumes they won't feel they are being stalked by an investee as well. Not to mention the fact that it's a little cliche, like the billboard that asks for a marriage proposal.

> Can't software exist for individual early adopters to sell their coin in exchange for fiat at market values without a centralized exchange?

As I see it, the tricky bit without an exchange is (1) establishing a "market price" in the first place, and (2) coordinating the fiat side of the transaction with the cryptocurrency side (the same problem exists between two different cryptocurrencies with different networks) so that the two either succeed or fail together.

You clearly don't know how complicated a music player + music store + music library manager can get. There's a bunch of stuff going on there between music codecs, library management, streaming music downloads, pulling id3/etc tags down from db servers, copying music to mobile devices, managing playlists...
You didn't ask that question, nor did anyone claim that as near as I can see: only that there are clearly usages for sending text messages to users, and that short codes are better in at least some way (such as indicated here: sending large quantities is more easily possible).

That said: I'll bite (in case anyone else reads your message and gets confused); as a user who deals with a bunch of services that send text messages (Bank of America, Equifax, AAA, Google, AT&T, UCSB, Pingdom...) I consider the ones where I get some random long number infuriating if the number isn't at least constant for me (as I can't add it to my address book), unprofessional (it would be as if someone hosted Apple's website on their Geocities account), and even "risky" (as the numbers are usually different for different carriers, and as mentioned even tend to randomly cycle, there's no reasonable way for me to know that it isn't someone playing a prank on me when I get the message; yes: SMS is somewhat spoofable, but replying to a short code, in my understanding, is not subject to those problems).
And fix the bus factor.
An annual production of 500,000 automobiles will put Tesla squarely in the #1 spot for luxury production 3x more than Mercedes.

Mercedes-Benz produced 1.49 million vehicles in 2013 and BMW produced 1.8 million in 2012 worldwide.

If you look at global auto sales[0] Tesla will be one of the largest, read top 5, auto manufacturers in the USA depending on how you slice the pie between domestic and international sales.

That would be far more impressive if there weren't only 3 major US car manufacturers (Chrysler, Ford & GM). In fact, Tesla must be the #4 largest US automaker right now.
This is exactly the point of getting a warrant: to have this dialogue with a judge.

What needs to elaborate? You 'spam' the groups with "new items, coming next week, here's the pic and price"

Something similar to this: http://storify.com/cbccommunity/kuwait-entrepreneurs-use-ins...

In the old days, you sent SMSes but you can't spam multiple people at once. You can only send one SMS at a time (unless you program something, which Housewives don't do...)

BBM supports Groups already but it's kind of slow (at least the old BBM anyway). I don't know if WhatsApp is any faster or whether WhatsApp has any limit on how many Groups member you can have (because it is essentially almost like Twitter).
To echo some earlier comments. As someone currently preparing for an interview, I would definitely like to see a web version.

Yup. That was Ken Iverson's point of view when he created APL.

Different languages make you think in different ways. When working with Go, C and Python, I'm always keenly aware of the different and optimum data structures to use. Not so when writing code in JavaScript. I spend more time and effort looking out for the pitfalls in JS than anything.

When working in R and Matlab, my method of thinking is oriented towards matrices and linear algebra. The same problem will most definitely be solved in different manners in the different languages I am familiar with
Editing plain text is in fact very easy. Structured text requires a little more logic, however. Ultimately, you could use emacs in the exact way one would use notepad++ and be none the wiser to the rich customizations under the hood. If thats your bag of tea, drink it.

"Many people would offer their services as middlemen to provide escrow for trades, but over time there became an alarmingly high number of middlemen who would properly handle dozens or even hundreds of trades, then scam both parties simultaneously once they came across the biggest transaction of their life."

This is impossible with a Bitcoin escrow contracts since 2 of the 3 parties need to agree to unlock the funds, and where to send them.

And this is a perfect example of something that was literally not possible before Bitcoin (well, I suppose it could be done with some elaborate scheme with physical vaults and keys, but certainly not on the internet)
In summary: China.
The point is that removing some of the "bumped a Gemfile.lock" commits, you'd not have the streak you have:

https://github.com/sferik?tab=contributions&from=2014-02-18

You certainly work on tons of great open source stuff, and I don't want to diminish the value of that at all, but for somebody else to hold up your streak as a shining example of the commit-every-day mindset is a bit in the grey area, as far as I'm concerned.
> They also tend to cause a very subtle distortion of the outlines of foreground sprites as they move over the background.

I'm surprised none of these algorithms are made to keep state between frames, so they can keep things like this consistent.
If you're referring to when you, as a consumer, receive a message from a Short Code in the U.S., you will pay the same amount to receive it as you would with a Long Code (the regular number).

I have to echo the siblings on this one. I don't think there's one prescribed route to meditation, especially since, as I'm sure you know, there are tons and tons of different meditation techniques and lineages.

I personally preferred meditating alone starting off, and really still do. There are some retreats that I wouldn't mind taking part in, but ultimately, meditation is a personal and solitary experience for me.
So Isaac Schlueter's new company, npm Inc, takes VC and then starts sending out legal threats immediately. nodejitsu decides to play that game and points out that it's been working on the npm trademark which, if granted, would likely force Isaac's new company to change it name.

Am I understanding this all correctly?

I can't see how any of this good for the node community, but then again I couldn't see how npm, Inc was good for the node community either.
Even if they don't commercially benefit from it, a better editor will help their devs.

As for how it could commercially benefit them: similar to how Chrome benefits Google.
Maybe they should not. I see absolutely no reason why you would find it worrying that they cannot. That's basically just being worried by the sovereignty of other nations; worried that you can't boss other people around... what a perverted concern.

If bitcoin is only worrying to the extent that foreign currencies are worrying, then I don't see what the big deal is. They cope with the existence of what, 179 foreign currencies right now (minus a few pegged to the dollar, but whatever)? They can learn to cope with 180.

It would be interesting to see a pixelart/emulator scaler that was temporally aware - that is, able to use context from near or all relevant sprite frames to get additional detail/context. This would require a compositing emulator, as some others have discussed, but I could see it producing notably superior results, given it would have much more source data to work with.
That sounds like closed source. I don't see how there could be a gray area here. Either I can compile Atom from source, or it's not open source.

If a Lion Could Talk: Animal Intelligence and the Evolution of Consciousness
Former neuroscientist and current meditator here (even went to the Mind and Life Summer Research Institute to combine the two once). While it's nice to want objective measures of meditative progress, there are two caveats:

a) Once you start meditating, you will probably notice subjective improvements that will be of more importance than things like vertex electrode amplitude.

b) This is still early days for brain science. Our tools (EEG and fMRI) are way cruder than the populace at large believes, so take their results with a grain of salt.
