i want to imagine uncollateralized load like this:

i'm a bank with 0 dollars in any asset, but 0 debt obligations. So my networth is 0 right now.

You come along to borrow off me $100. Now i have an asset of $100(the debt which you have to pay back + interest), but as soon as you spend your money, i also have a debt of $100.

Now isn't this a good way to make money from nothing?

Why would a plane ascend because of a struggle in the cockpit? You don't just climb 15000 ft at that altitude because someone fell over the controls. Someone had control at that point. Had there been a struggle, a descent would be the most likely outcome. All the explanations I've heard so far contains way too many assumptions. Ockham's razor.

Here's another scenario: hypoxia. Makes you retarded and euphoric. Like being drunk but with less disassociation. Suddently, it's a great idea to climb! Oh wait, nope. Better descend. Are we on course? Better turn.

Hypoxia and/or stress. Look at AF447. All pilots know what a stall is. But when you're flying at night in bad weather with S:t Elmo's fire all around you and the airspeed indicator stops working and you believe you need to climb, you might react without thinking. Oh, we're losing altitude? Better pull up!
Personal experience with watching the consequence to someone who caused about the same offence.

You know, there are other languages than Haskell doing interesting things. Ada2012 for example, introduced design by contract with support for formal verification in conforming subprograms. This may be a near term more practical path than dependent types. Highly interesting.

Night of the Hunter -- "Vapor" (feat. Dead Robot) [OfficialLyricVideo*2014*]
In Sandberg-style liberal feminism (which preserves inequality except for the more well-off white women and therefore doesn't help all women), I can imagine they want to improve subordination to female bosses. So you should be ready to follow her imperatives like you would Zuckerberg's.

In corporations, boss subordination is so complete that "bossy" only applies to someone who isn't actually literally a boss. So I can imagine "bossy" is used to question the legitimacy of female bosses. However, more serious kinds of feminism directly attack the existence of bosses, since many more women are at the bottom of hierarchies than the top.
I've read this article a half dozen times, there is no mention of Singapore in it, let alone how much it costs to live there. So I guess I'm supposed to just take this made up headline at its word?

It may be a 2% premium on average, but in the US, it's probably more like 0% for the vast majority of people, and quite a sizeable increase for a very small number. So the average isn't very meaningful, when it hides such extreme variation.

I know a lot of professional people here in the US who are fluent in two, three, even four languages. Only one of them actually uses a second language as a part of their job. I mean, how many jobs require significant international communication with people who don't speak English? Not many.

(Being from a non-English speaking country, and learning English, is a whole different thing though.)
It's funny but "bully" is more associated with males and "bossy" with females. Both have negative connotations of forcing someone to do something against their own will. It seems that the reason behind not banning "bossy" is that females require this opportunity for leadership development. It seems sexist that females should be allowed to impose their will on others but males shouldn't in similar situations. I would argue that females already have a leg up on their male counterparts with the fact that they mature earlier during adolescence and perhaps use this to their advantage. As the article mentions, other ways exist to exhibit leadership. Being bossy though is the worst alignment of incentives: power & peer acceptance thru fear vs respect.
It seems more like Chat than Team.
Sadly yes. I just wonder how far to spin it. So rather than hiring good product people, designers and engineers - just build a company out of PR people and hype the shit out of something totally average?
Sure, but there are parts in the world where people do favour other languages as lingua franca.

For example, I had more luck with German in Eastern Europe than English.

As a non-English speaker, I enjoy being able to speak 7 languages, although not fully fluent in all of them.

You won't find many people even bothering to learn English, if you go outside big cities in most countries.
To those examples I'd add integration middleware like Dell Boomi.

I use Django... The Django ORM is built in and does everything i need.
I use Salt... Which has native support for using the Django ORM which I'm already using.

And ... For some extra icing on the cake. I like doing things in an SOA which has a wonderful recipe in Django + Django REST Framework + Django ROA (The original https://bitbucket.org/david/django-roa/overview and one of its most promising forks https://github.com/charles-vdulac/django-roa)
With this, I can take a codebase, split off a particular chunk of the code, wrap it as an API with Django Rest Framework, then hook the rest of the service up to use the newly separated 'service' via Django ROA which lets Django work with the REST Api via the native ORM ... REST as a database!
Yes, economists will argue that gasoline taxes are a more efficient and effective way of getting what we want (an efficient amount of gasoline consumption that accounts for its external costs).

Politicians will counter that gas taxes are unpalatable for political reasons, so we have to do something else that's kinda like an indirect gas tax (reduces consumption, makes using it more expensive). I'm open to arguments about us going too far here, but at the same time I don't think the perfect should be the enemy of the good.
I knew this was a systemd advocate after the second sentence. Hilarious.

Very detailed work but you shouldn't be using cost as your primary basis. It's more important to look at average salaries for your position and see how it varies by city & state. That will give you an accurate depiction of how the industry views relative cost of living.
> "if being called bossy is causing girls to lose leadership skills..."

I don't think that this particular word is the root cause. More important is the reason why people are using it. If you ban that particular word without addressing why people are using it, then those people will adopt a new word to mean the exact same thing. Creating euphemism treadmills doesn't fix anything.

> Racial slurs aren't acceptable anymore. That isn't what brought about the civil rights movement, but it's an important consequence of it.

I don't really want to pick sides on 'ban bossy', but I do think this particular analogy is flawed. Unlike a racial slur (or any other identity-based slur), 'bossy' describes intrinsically negative behavior. People who are 'overly authoritative' or 'domineering' will always be looked down on in society whether or not this word is 'banned' or not.

Stop doing 4-day splits. It's intermediate move and only valuable if you are not result oriented at all. I moved from 3-day splits to more traditional hypertrophy-specific full-body exercise set and it is much more fun and productive.

BTW, StrongLifts 5x5 employs some principles from hypertrophy-specific training programming which is why it works.
You can limit any heavy exercise to two or even one set, it gives you 50% or 80% of train to failure effectiveness, but allows for faster recovery (due to less stress on nervous system).
My impression is that TV show creators should have the least to complain about with regard to piracy.

Advertising isn't the only revenue stream for a show, for many it's not even the biggest. DVD sales have dried up but that's a market that has only _really_ existed since 2003.

Netflix and other streaming services are not only new revenue for new shows, they earn more money for old IP. Bonus: I've read that Netflix uses piracy tracker data to gauge demand and make bids, so in this way piracy literally probably increased his Netflix payout.

Spanish has been destroying the dreams of Esperantists and others over the years who hope to build a more regular, orderly, and easy to learn common language based on common Indo-European roots.

Turns out that it's dang hard to design anything easier or more accessible to speakers of any European language than Spanish already is. The spelling and pronunciation are already completely regular and predictable. The grammar is straightforward and common to almost all European tongues. The vocabulary is mostly based on Latin with some Arabic variety thrown in, but it's been standardized over the centuries so that a lot of it has a simpler and more natural morphology.

It's a great second language: it's fairly easy, the world's second most widespread tongue, and spoken in warm countries with very friendly natives. Unfortunately, it's not likely to provide you with many lucrative opportunities. Remember, money isn't everything.
Hijackers usually have a motive, and historically the motives typically involved some form of monetary exchange or demands for political asylum. You don't generally hijack a plane unless you either want to go somewhere or you want something in return.

That doesn't mean it's impossible for a hijacking to be done quietly, with no demands, but it's further complicated by the fact that the aircraft has to land somewhere. It's also somewhat difficult to hide a plane as large as a 777, much less find an airport to land it where it'll go unnoticed. This increases the likelihood that if it were a hijacking, it was probably similar to PSA flight 1771 [1] and more inline with a murder/suicide than a ransom.

Although, imagine the possibilities terrorists could use a 777 for. Load it with explosives, biological weapons, radioactive materials... It's enough to make a politician want to ban flying altogether. Let's hope they don't find my comment.

Regardless, I'm not especially comfortable wagering a bet on the cause of MA370's disappearance. My initial instinct was to presume foulplay or an in-flight fire. Now I'm not so sure.

If the aircraft isn't found, I suspect this might become the mystery of the century.

This is consistent with the OED's first use of the term, referring to a (female) being (inappropriately) "bossy".

“a lady manager who was dreadfully bossy” (1882)

The purpose of language is to provide for subtle distinctions.
One plausible scenario is that the plane was hijacked by terrorists so that it could later be used to deliver a payload (or be the payload itself a la 9-11). Since the plane has such a huge range, it could be used in an attack on American soil. This could also explain flying at a high altitude as a way to kill the passengers.

"English has much easier grammar than Spanish"

I don't really agree. English uses phrasal verbs instead of reflexives and circumlocution in place of most subjunctives, but they're just as complicated.
I don't know that you can back up your first sentence. I'm pretty sure the museum in Warsaw claims that they did plan to work together. Also, the museum shows part of a TV show from after the war which served as Soviet propaganda. The TV show rewrote history to say the Soviets fought alongside them. My Polish friend is in his mid-30s like me and explained how they were still showing this old TV program when he was a child in the 80s. Now he knows it was a lie.

I believe that while the standard currently used by US courts (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imminent_lawless_action) is not ideal in all circumstances, it is largely functional and has not caused a great deal of harm. In practice, the way it plays out is that it gives hate groups enough rope to hang themselves in the court of public opinion. See: The WBC.

OpenBSD forked Apache 1.3, when the Apache 2.0 license was introduced. One argument could be that maintaining, patch and extend a web server on top of writing an operating system is to much work, especially if there's a better alternative, with a license you can accept.

Including a web server isn't necessarily a security concern, it's not running by default. The advantages is that there's a web server included, with privsep, chrooting and a sane default configuration.

Artists can opt out of ASCAP and Pandora arrangements if they like and negotiate whatever rates they want.

ASCAP and BMI formed a cartel in the 1940s to try to drive up prices by crushing alternative composers of music and driving them out of business. They succeeded and had to be brought under the anti-monopoly laws. Their legal troubles led to setting the official prices that Pandora pays.

It wasn't a free market when ASCAP was abusing it so the market arguably wasn't perfectly capable of working things out. I suspect that the market is capable today with our more open society and less cartel power from music publishers.

We'll find out if the market can handle things when independent artists abandon ASCAP for better royalty rates, if they ever do.
I'd imagine that most airports that could handle a 777 would be suspicious if it wasn't a scheduled flight, wasn't an emergency per se, and later learned that an aircraft of that type went missing.

And if it was still the case up to the point of disappearance, its latest livery was a bit... flamboyant [1]. Not exactly the sort of thing I'd want to try hiding.

First, I can't imagine the US doesn't know the location of this airplane or exactly what happened during deviation from its original flight path. Understandably, they cannot reveal the full breadth of their reconnaissance capabilities to "enemies" and the general public.

If you don't know, there is a highly sophisticated US naval air facility on the island of Diego Garcia. The Navy does deep space reconnaissance over there! among other things...

And they didn't detect a massive 777 flying north/south in and around the Indian Ocean?

That area is saturated in complex radar. Diego Garcia houses complex radar and satellite communications systems and who knows what else that is still classified.

Additionally, there are over 1,000 operational satellites in orbit!

IMO, this was a carefully and planned mission.

For all we know (tin-foil hat time) there could be behind the curtain negotiations with hijackers and/or missions being planned to recover the aircraft in case of wild extremists theories flying around on the Internet (0.1% on this) And as we all know today, nothing is that extreme anymore in the world we live in.

Disabling transponders takes three clicks of a wheel and it was most definitely done intentionally, the sharp, almost hairpin turn, this jet made and then strategically avoided radar are all signs of a sophisticated operation here. The WSJ reports that circuit breakers were accessed in order to shut down transponders, clearly requiring a high level of skill for aircraft maintenance opps. Sure, pilot can break a circuit but they will spend 20 minutes reading the flight maintenance manual AND contact ground before doing anything like this.

Finally - there were a few important people on board, including quite a few high-tech people involved with government contractions.

Whatever is happening, it might never make complete sense - or at least the general public might be out the loop and get whatever information THEY want us to hear. I don't know who THEY are but this whole situation is very strange and gets crazier by the day.
