It varies depending on your risk profile and how much the bank wants to do your transactions (dollar volume of deposits matter, and fees). If you're coming in as a customer, it may just be a matter of being a commercial customer and paying enough fees. If you're trying to come in as a third party processor, it's more involved. Relationships help there.

You might need significant volume (hundreds or more per day) to make it worth switching from Balanced to something else for outgoing payments. With enough volume (10k+/month), you might get under .10/transaction. Balanced doesn't seem like they're particularly slow about outgoing payments. (from a quick scan of their site) The slowness comes from the ACH network where nothing is ever confirmed settled, it just hasn't come back returned yet.
"other costs" might include laundering overhead.

Positive psychology advise like "always be looking forward" and "embraced change or become stagnant" is great for newbies but those that already get it are looking for business advise like "execution strategies". Maybe some secret sauce. However time makes most of it commoditized and no longer secret sauce. So you are left with positive psychology advise & domain experience.

I happen to work with ACH/NACHA files and send them to/from various locations. The file spec outlines that there are "control" records with various values that are supposed to be used to validate the batches in the file and the file itself to prove the file is internally consistent. I have often found that when receiving the file, these control records are hard-coded and invalid. And when sending files, some vendors don't even bother to look at the control records. It's a whole different world.
This question might be a bit naive. I'm developing a similar app and I have not developed full mobile apps earlier - I started with Phonegap. Was there a reason why you did not consider that?

You need the wetsuit, though, to protect you from the sulfuric acid. (I’m not selling this well, am I?)"

I happen to have cable again because it was a very nominal increase over cable modem only and because I don't get a very good OTA signal from our apartment.

Prior to this move though, I'd done without cable for ~5 years. I got MLB and NHL direct from the league offerings, and as noted as long as you can get an antenna singal and are willing to go to a bar or a friends house for Monday or Thursday night games the NFL is relatively cordcutter friendly. I would _love_ to give the NFL money directly for something similar to MLB.tv, but don't see it happening anytime soon.

So the PRISM consist of FBI electronic wiretap portals/devices within a company's infrastructure.

Now we know the FBI will generally require a court order or an NSL before accessing the portal to request user information.

No one has been clear about what the role of the NSA is in these devices are.

1. They could just be administering the system for the FBI.

2. They could be copying all the data that goes to the FBI into their corporate store.

3. They could be applying 51% probability foreign standard to any data they can see with theses devices.

I've seen this question asked of numerous tech executives and no one is able to give a good answer so I'm suspicious. What Bruce Schneier keeps telling us is that the NSA's email interception is robust, they wrap a program in multiple overlapping legal justifications.

I'm using Kindle (+ Readability) + printouts. I really like books but they have two disadvantages: they are a little bit more expensive (but that's not the rule) and, what's more important, they occupy space on a shelf. I have a small collection of about 60 books and have no more space available.

When I find an interesting article that I'd like to read I add it to Readability. If the article requires more mental effort to understand, or when I want to have a deeper understanding of the presented topic, I print it on A4 paper, one-sided. The back side of each sheet is for my notes. Because I'm not trying to formulate the Fermat Last Theorem the margins are too narrow. ;-)

I think that Kindle is a good choice for tech books, but you may have trouble reading code or complicated diagrams. It all depends on the type of books you intend to read.

I recommend a mixed approach: Kindle + printouts + books. Discover your own preferences for medium for reading about a particular subject.

> I cannot cope with the smell of e-cigarettes

Okay, fair enough. Have you tried asking the vapers if they would mind not smoking them indoors? I know I've stopped doing so in confined conference rooms after a coworker commented that they didn't like the smell.

I appreciate it sucks that vaping is just one more thing which intrudes on your personal space and freedoms, but so do so many things at the office, from people chatting, to coughing, to cracking their knuckles or delighting you with the irritating buzz of their headphones. I'm not really sure that e-cigarettes warrant regulation any more than any of the other annoyances that are encountered throughout the day.

EDIT: Also, for anyone interested in learning more about the science of e-cigarette safety, Dr. Siegel of the Boston University School of Public Health pretty vociferously supports e-cigarettes and writes a blog on the science and politics of the matter:

Except that analogy of those analogies is itself a false analogy. Bouncing models off each other is a typical mechanic of scientific innovation. No one is suggesting economists take the theories as wrote and apply them without due consideration.

Ditto. A lot of the stuff that happened back then cannot be repeated again. That secret sauce is no longer available and/or was a 1 time advantage. However the positive psychology, attitude to getting stuff done & domain experience are the valuable pieces that are relevant till today.

Story behind X-Forwarded-For and X-Real-IP headers
I agree, but I also think investors have bought a narrative of a young organization that breaks things and learns. Part of that narrative is great and it keeps tech fresh and young. I just wish there were a way to have a better dialog or working relationship between generations. Historically humans have been able to work well intergenerationally, so I think there's something endemic to our culture that prevents this from happening.

I suppose that Lincoln was addressing the American people in a manner which conveys that they (the electorate) are his boss. Its the same tone in other formal speeches, eg any State of the Union speech. Compare to examples of Presidents cussing.[1] These examples are usually directed at specific subordinates. Also a funny note to compare the example of when a celebrity cursed a former president, going against the hierarchy.[2] The celebrity had to apologize afterward. It seems to fit the theory well enough.

Comcast is terrible to its consumers because they know you can't run away from them and get better service at that price point [generally].

Open sourcing stuff that costs them [very little] and may result in a cost savings in the future and doesn't allow you to disrupt their core business? Why not?

Maybe I'm just a bit cynical. ;)

That is why its such a difficult situation. when you have depression you may not want help, due to the negative affects of depression controlling your actions. Burn out still allows you to want to get better. The up side of depression is that typically with medication and or therapy you can get better. Burn out really only has two cures: changing jobs which is a pain or your work changing which is usually out of your control.

Awww. Thanks for the kind words.
Locally, there's club ball, and that's where my son has been since that season. It was also the end of my coaching career. But a few months later I took up refereeing.and that experience has radically changed my perspective on the role of adults in youth sports, and in what you say about adult expectations making the game less fun is absolutely true. More typical these days is in the other direction - adults treating U10 game victory as worth a line on the tombstone.

But I see what you are talking about among referees. There's often a lack of presence for the kids. It's an ego thing. We all think we should be working the next level up and that it's ok to phone it in.

Anyway, some great youth sport resources are Bob Bigalow's book Just let the Kids Play, the Responsible Sports podcast and the positive coaching alliance.

I have similar problems. I prefer the old maps.
My point is that the most important resources (routing table slots) are still allocated via informal central planning in your proposed scheme. And that isn't unreasonable; usually if you want a functional market, you need /something/ dealing with the externalities.

In the general case, sure, I like markets, too. It's just that markets deal very poorly with externalities, and I want to make the point that the way most people want to set up a market for IPs, routing table slots are externalities.

There is currently a process for selling IP addresses:

My understanding is that you give the previous owner enough money to make them happy, then you satisfy the requirements that you would have had to satisfy to get ARIN to give you the resources if you were requesting said resources from ARIN directly.

Comcast does lots of really good work on the back end. They've been spending a ton of money developing all of their new platforms using open source tools -- which inevitably means they'll create new stuff like this and contribute it back. They have a literal army of open source nerds hacking in ruby, scala, erlang, etc.

Comcast realized a long time ago that if they didn't want Google to eat their lunch, they needed to approach product development more like Google does. It's starting to pay off. I would expect to see more open source projects coming from them in the near future.

What you're looking for isn't "how to code", it's "how to architect". I'm unaware of any courses that go over the general structure of an entire solution, but that's the direction you want to take.

I agree, it would be infinitely useful to have a lesson on: "Okay this is where programming Python fits into the architecture of a website. Now that you're oriented in the world, let's learn how to program in Python."
Let me just observe that "I am not sure I need to have access to the $GUESS-test-results directory." "Yeah, of course, your stuff is in the directory next to it." "I am aware of that, but just wanted to observe, for HIPAA compliance and basic privacy reasons, you probably want to restrict access to it a bit." "Oh yeah, but that vendor's software is really wonky, so we just 777ed it to get it working." has actually happened.

I was pleasantly surprised. This conversation implied that 777ing it was a considered choice, as opposed to having just happened because YOLO. This puts them much higher up the healthcare IT totem pole than you would hope.
It's probably very spatially variable, but beyond that, I'm out of my depth.

Ocean circulation plays a large role in regional (and global) variations in climate. If nothing else, the changes in the shape of the ocean basins over time would result in very different regional climate patterns, even if the average global temperature stayed the same.

On top of that, changes in average global temperature tend to vary strongly by latitude, if I remember correctly.

> I vehemently disagree with your claim that it is simple to stop this policy if it is clear a person is abusing it.

Ok, I'll give you that, having been in situations like that myself. Remove the word easily from my above statement. So it's not always easy to stop applying the policy, but I believe (at least in my life experience) that the benefits of intelligent application of the platinum rule outweigh the costs imposed by those who abuse it.

> Because the test depends on the desires of another person, and that cannot be measured, it is not easy to know if they are being sincere or manipulative. Only after a many experiences could one make that assessment and by then you have lost so much or worse, married them.

The test only depends on you. Applying the platinum rule depends on the desires of the other person. But deciding when to stop applying it does not. I firmly believe that you cannot effectively help other people unless you yourself are healthy (not in just the medical sense, but the whole life sense). So it's your job to decide on the application of the platinum rule based on the dynamics of each relationship in question.
I think a lot of the in-person classes do cover the entire ecosystem of the web, and how whatever the course is teaching fits into that.

I teach an Intro to Rails course with HackerYou in Toronto, and we certainly cover the web in general, how requests work and are interpreted by a browser, how to use a text editor, programming concepts in general, git, etc. I don't really think we're particularly unique in that regard, either.

I won't say we're absolutely comprehensive on all of these topics, but if the bar for "making a Rails site work" is that you've read SICP, configured your own Unix server, and can implement something in raw HTTP, we're essentially giving up on the notion of programming as something novices can do at all.
I'm not saying TDD is the only way to write code, I'm saying TDD is the only way to make sure that you will have minimal automated testing.

About your condescending remarks about delivering business value, I'd like to see you delivering business value while working with 10 other people on a tightly coupled 100k+ LOC application with no tests.

Google News allows search by date, but unless there is an option I am unaware of it is capped at the last 30 days. Also, I think the filter is based on the date something was crawled, which is not necessarily the date of publication.

Edit: I can set the range past 30 days, the actual function is a little tricky for older articles because again I believe it is based on crawl date not publication date. Example I set date 1939-1944 and search "World War 2", no results.
This isn't currently supported, although Sirius has some options that might be helpful. Sirius isn't really a data store per se; it's really a persistent, replicated update stream (transaction log) aimed at letting you build and maintain your own in-process representation of the dataset.

As such, you could set up a separate cluster running in "follower" mode, subscribing to the stream of updates and them writing them out to some other datastore.
Oracle's current chips are derived from the massively-multicore Niagara, not from Rock or UltraSPARC III/IV. As a result, you might notice that the benchmarks Oracle brags about are SPECjbb and TPC-C. These are benchmarks that reward integer perf and parallelism, not single-thread or floating-point performance.

On SPEC's general purpose benchmark, SPECcpu, Oracle published only three SPARC results. All three are from Fujitsu chips in re-branded Fujitsu systems. Oracle just doesn't publish results for their in-house chips. I imagine they ran the benchmarks and decided the poor results did not fit their marketing message.
