But he wasn't, really. Government can't really do much to constrain capitalism. Most of what FDR did was wildly ineffective. Some of the weirdness in how corporate accounting works now go back to tax dodges then ( and since) . There were 90+% marginal rates; that's rather extreme.

Nixon presided over the end of the Bretton Woods Accord but that particular system was already worn out. Some credit the end of Bretton Woods with the rise of international super capitalism. It's debatable. Nixon... wasn't all that clued in - he started wage and price controls.

The stuff that FDR did was more like trying to coordinate things. Most of it didn't work. They did put large corporate entities into contracting big time, of course, because of the War.

Reagan? Didn't really do much but talk. He had tax increases advertised as tax cuts, but the rest was rhetoric. A lot of Reagan's spending was undoing damage done by Nixon to military budgets. Some of it - like Star Wars - was just kinda crazy. Bluff.

The PATCO strike was rather a one off union busting thing; it really wasn't part of a larger pattern. It's just the the large monolithic corporation was evolving out. With that went the ability of unions to bargain.

Well, are you suggesting that a real C++ developer wouldn't think it is a good idea to include a library or framework in his program? (because 156 lines of extra code is too much?)

Have you ever used STL? It is full of template classes! It is a LOT of code in there.

The author implemented a stream processing framework based on lazy evaluation and an interface taken straight out of functional programming (Haskell) approach.

Tidy it up, make it more robust and why wouldn't it be industry strength and ready for production code?

#include <lazy_streams>
//3 lines of code to implement the original problem

What would be wrong with that?

I think C++ more than (m)any other language(s) sufferes from not-invented-here syndrome. If something is not in core language or STL then it might as well not exist -- people will always do their own thing from scratch. Or you grab some behemoth library like Boost which should cater to all your needs.

In contrast in Haskell/OCaml/Clojure (probably others too but those I'm most familiar with) one can download a tiny library that allows to radically change the control flow of the program.

What's demonstrated here is one such thing. It is based on sound principles (monads, functors...) and lazy streams which is a very well researched topic.

Sure, this is C++ we are talking about and there sure will be dragons somewhere. But if Bartosz ever dedicates his time to make a full fledged and tested library I will be damn sure to use it!

Also I should note that I am not saying their is no risk in investing. Even for Sequoia there is risk. I am that the the risk that exists does not cause high returns. I am that this statement is wrong: "to the extent capital reaps high returns, it is by assuming risk." Sequoia reaps returns by avoiding risk, if it had even better vision into markets and companies it could reap even higher returns.
What was the date on them?

The thing to keep in mind with stuff like that is usually it is not a straightforward case of they have trolled you and the museum as you may naively think.

If something is a blank red sheet of paper in a frame, perhaps dated from the early to mid 1960's they are likely referencing Kazemir Malevich, and making a joke about it perhaps along the lines of "I wonder how far I can take this minimalism thing and have people still call it art".

Once you can notice this, the cultural reference and context itself become the art- not necessarily the physical object, which, devoid of such historical or cultural context, is indeed just a blank fucking sheet of paper.

You may as well criticize Doge because you don't get why it's funny.

It's not funny, but you can still understand its context in internet cultural history. In 30 years you will remember doge as some significant cultural event, and contemporary artefacts will acquire value for being related to the event.

None of it is funny or good. but you remember it for its cultural significance.

A blank sheet of paper from the 1960's in a museum needs a little bit more help.

Funny you should say that, that's my family motto: "Qui stupidi sunt, ut strenuus me".

That he thinks it is ok to cut through residential neighbourhoods because the freeway is backed up is more than stupid, really. It is dangerous and unfair. I was going to say that, given the apologetics around this strategy, that he's being a little tongue-in-cheek. But when he opened with "the really painful part of being stuck in traffic is not, really, the actual amount of time that it takes to get from Point A to Point B" it was pretty clear that we were going to be looking for wisdom and intelligence from other sources.

All of the different forms of "to be" come from different words in old languages. We get "am" and "is" from Latin, but I am not sure about the other tenses. Google says that all of the others are a collection of words "Indo-European," which indicates that it is some language from ancient times.

As for answering questions with a presumed answer, one of the best things to do is to restate the verb when you answer. "Didn't you agree with him?" "Yes, I agreed with him." This way, it is clear to everyone.

If you walk into Bestbuy and show them the item you intend to purchase from Amazon, they'll match the price. With taxes, and assuming you don't have to drive out of your way, this can be more convenient than Amazon. If you need something overnight, it's actually cheaper than Amazon.

Protip with this feature: It can resolve where you originally bound your event listeners, regardless of if you used jQuery or whatever. So, either set up a breakpoint or establish an Event Listener Breakpoint (http://goo.gl/YYlbDK) and you can walk back to where you registered the handler.

Contrast this to Elon Musk, who is very direct and open in responding to criticism. To each his own?
Part of me is nodding in agreement, but another part is wondering 1) am I (unfairly?) biased against the author due to the story from Horvath and 2) is this another example of a woman being criticised for having a voice? Are we unfairly expecting her to be polite, not powerful and proud? Her husband's post was very proud and he didn't get the same criticism, though I think he did a slightly better job apologizing and focusing his message.

Not criticizing. Just sharing my own mixed feelings.

... things like 'soda'

Funny -- before I got to your part about soda, I was reminded of this Warhol quote:

"What's great about this country is that America started the tradition where the richest consumers buy essentially the same things as the poorest. You can be watching TV and see Coca-Cola, and you know that the President drinks Coke, Liz Taylor drinks Coke, and just think, you can drink Coke, too. A Coke is a Coke and no amount of money can get you a better Coke than the one the bum on the corner is drinking. All the Cokes are the same and all the Cokes are good. Liz Taylor knows it, the President knows it, the bum knows it, and you know it."

It is not "deeply wrong," and you're making a category error. If as OP suggests, the system is politics, as in, "you're soaking in it," the status quo is the current and recent-history shape of the subset of politics that has evolved to this point in time, a particular configuration of values within the landscape of possible value systems we call "politics in general."

Anyone Over 25 Shouldn't Have Survived Childhood
This is a few years old and leaves out 6LoWPAN[1], which wasn't yet commercially viable. 6LoWPAN is based on the same 802.15.4 hardware that ZigBee uses, but it has two significant advantages over ZigBee. First, it is TCP/IP that works on microcontrollers, so embedded devices running the protocol become first-class members of the internet with the addition of a very inexpensive router[2] to the network. This means that sensor nodes and embedded devices can seamlessly interoperate with traditional servers in a distributed computing environment and many programming techniques can be directly adapted.

Second, 6LoWPAN can be configured so that all nodes involved can sleep, whereas ZigBee requires always-on routing nodes in order to produce a true mesh. This means it isn't possible to use ZigBee to construct a mesh out of fungible battery-powered devices, which is a big problem for many applications.

If this interests you, there are a couple of very capable chips that have been released recently that are ideal for use with 6LoWPAN, namely TI's CC2538 [3] and Atmel's SAM R21 [4]. They both are supported by Contiki OS[5], which provides network stacks for extremely resource-constrained devices. It has been under development for ~10 years at this point as an open source academic/hobby project but in the last couple of years it has become significantly more professional and it is now used in many commercial applications. In addition, its core architects have launched a company called Thingsquare[6] based on Contiki which aims to be Heroku for low-powered wireless devices.

What about this from the libsodium web site?

Affirmative action requirements.
The government has certain contract set asides to help various types of companies get contracts. It's basically like affirmative action for contracting (vary broadly speaking). Basically if you have a female/minority/veteran owned company you can sometimes get a leg up in the procurement process. The government also has these things for size of the business and I'm sure many other categories.
author here. Absolutely! That quote by Warhol was a huge inspiration. I have to see if I can fit that somewhere on the site.
There are government contracts that are specifically set aside for women and minorities. Only businesses run by these demographics can bid for these contracts.

From where I live, it's a hassle for me to go to any of these big box stores. It's not going to be this way for everyone, I just really don't like going shopping.

The primary benefit of Amazon for me is not having to deal with a brick-and-mortar store.
No. First, clients may be sloppy or may have alerts triggered if the IP doesn't fall into the right range. The latter has nothing to do with poor code quality. That's the problem with hijacking DNS, you've moved well beyond web browsers into all kinds of applications that are loaded with custom code that have completely undefined behavior from your perspective. For all you know, the DNS responses you've tweaked will make the user's software completely unusable until the whole thing is restarted.

Second, what do you do when the client is configured to require DNSSEC responses?
> I hate shopping - if I could reliably get something in a couple days, I'd almost never even need to leave the house, except for groceries.

This is exactly how I feel. The primary draw of Amazon for me is that it lets me avoid the brick-and-mortar shopping "experience". Heck, I'd pay extra to not have to deal with it.
I don't quite agree with your conclusion as written, because I think you can make the point that purely skill-based efforts do not have artistic merit. For instance, the frozen fish packager in an assembly may not be seen as having artistic merit in the his or her endeavors. This is because the effort is not creative, but following a process. It is not meant to provide any aesthetic value or entertainment, but is meant to achieve another objective.

On the other hand, if you mean that nothing intended as art can lack artistic merit, making the concept of "artistic merit" useless in that context, then I fully agree.
Clever but why should this sales tax go to the state I live in instead of say the community where the item was shipped from? It's really more of a duty or use tax in such a case, like in the old days where I would order something from a catalog not in the state I live in, I was supposed to pay a use tax to this state of the difference between the sales tax here and what I might have paid in taxes when ordering when I did my state income taxes. They really should not call it a sales tax, it potentially gets collected by a state that has nothing to do with the sale at all and the cities and states that had to do with it did not collect any of it.
> if what she were saying is true, the official response would have made it clear that the investigation uncovered issues unrelated to the situation at hand.

That is not obvious, and I think it is impossible for us to figure out why the PR agency/HR/management/investors/lawyers that crafted this statement was not more specific and what it means that they did not say something. Only reading the report itself or getting a full summary of it can help with that.

And I bet you read all 20k words of every tos you agree to?

Just because someone shoved a statement they get to email me somewhere in the small novel I'm expected to read -- and your argument is disingenuous because you know damn well nobody reads those things -- doesn't mean I actually, you know, agreed.

A recent example: those dbags at ziprecruiter decided that, since I applied to a job at a single company that used them, they should now email me daily lists of jobs I may like. Was that buried in a tos somewhere? Probably. By any reasonable usage of the phrase, though, I in no sense opted in.
