Right now i've only tested it with a local Ghost installation but theorically it should work with every blogging platform since it uses wget to fetch pages. Since it's basically a very silly and dumb shell script i didn't want to use something platform specific such as grunt / gulp / rake / whatever.

Feel free to give me your feedback about it (Bugs, Features, etc.)

I think the interesting thing was even middle class kids demonstrated poor performance too. The problem us spread wider across the distribution rather than abysmal performance by a minority such so that it pulled down the average (to me, that never really made sense in my intuition).
> In 2014, this may not be the case. Level3 wants to send much more traffic to Comcast than Comcast would ever send to Level3. This is because Netflix (a Level3 customer) is asymmetric in nature.

Oh, you're so right! That awful, no-good, pesky L3 just keeps sending these packets that nobody wants and nobody ever asked for... oh wait. Oh yes. I just remembered. L3 sends those packets because Comcast's customers requested them. People pay Comcast to transfer packets between themselves and the internet services they wish to use. In a free market, Comcast's inability to do that would result in customers leaving in droves. It really shouldn't matter (within the bounds of legal reason) what's in the packets.

> Keeping Bitcoin requires you to be really good at both storing a specific string of bits, and also keeping that string of bits secret. Even for a really skilled sysadmin, trusting your life's savings to your own ability to secure and back up a single string doesn't strike me as very wise - compromise or misplacement of digital secrets is almost inevitable.

This is one of the best & simplest arguments I've heard against bitcoin-as-a-mainstream-phenomenon for a long time.

This is a really interesting read -

I played a lot in college, but never really got "good" per se. We had a group of about 20 or so of us who played semi-regularly. There were two players who were both far superior to everyone else, but they didn't always win. Just like everyone else, they naturally suffered the turmoil of a bad beat here and there. But aggregate their winnings over the course of the two years we all played together, they came out far ahead of everyone else.

And I think that's probably the main point here. These two knew how to grind out the bad beats and come out on top over a long enough time frame.

I also have a good friend who crabs in Alaska (his dad and him are on the Deadliest catch together) - each season is a "gamble" with how long it will take to catch enough crab to meet quota, but it's not like they're putting money into a slot machine and hoping for the best. There's a system that leads to success. Sometimes they get "lucky" and their season ends quick, others it's more of a lengthened grind.

They seem awfully similar.
Thanks, you actually reminded me why I am doing this. I'm working harder than I've ever worked, but the influence and autonomy that I have over my side of the business and the rapid changes I am a part of beats a 9-5 in many ways. I have also just worked out I might be working more hours in this startup, but I spend the same amount of time away from home as I did in my 9-5.

You decide, how would you classify paying people from third world countries to spam YT with "product reviews" in broken english?
Not the OP but I do the same - two accounts, one for PayPal, and my real one.

It's two checking accounts in the same bank. Just call your bank and ask them to make you another account.

With my bank I don't even have to call them, I can make one from the account page.

By having it in the same bank I can leave the PayPal account always at 0, and transfer the money easily to the other account.
Common Core is much more legible than the prior standards. That being said, it is a framework and not a solution that should be applied blindly at any opportunity.
> Lots of people smoke pot. They do so, presumably, because it affects their brains, and not despite that fact. It would be astonishing and inexplicable to find that getting high didn't bring about changes in the brain. But are those changes lasting? Are they permanent? We don't know and we'd like to know.

The study didn't even find that the brains had changed at all, just that they were different.

As the sample was so small, they could just have well concluded that brown hair made a difference or people who prefer broccoli to cheese are more likely to smoke pot.

I work in a rapid growing startup that requires more than 8 hours a day and I have two young children. My priorities are
1 - Children 2 - Marriage 3 - Living arrangements / lifestyle (sans work) 4 - Career (but I take my career VERY seriously, I've been an executive for 9 years and I'm 33)
My routine
1 - Alarm goes off at 4:30 am 2 - I pickup around the house, toss in laundry as needed 3 - Catch the 5:45 am train to be into the office roughly @ 6:15 am 4 - I leave the office @ 5:30 pm to catch the 5:50 pm train to be home roughly @ 6:15 pm 5 - I play with the kids 6 - We then eat dinner together as a family 7 - I bathe and put both kids to bed around 7:30 - 8:00 pm 8 - I help pick up the rest of my house with my wife, it usually ends @ 8:30 pm (we talk a lot while doing this) 9 - My wife and I sit down on the couch/porch/etc and hang out for a few hours while I also work 10 - I'm usually in bed by 11 - 11:30 pm
If I have more work to do that evening I might have my laptop out while hanging out with my wife or stay up later. This is usually 4 nights out of the week.
Things that shift to "once in a while" given my priorities
1 - A full 8 hours of sleep 2 - Seeing that television show 3 - Seeing that movie 4 - Random nights out with friends 5 - Etc
These simply just take a back seat.
Things I never miss, and spend as much time with as someone working a standard 9-5 (although I do head into the office earlier than most)
1 - My kids (first and foremost) 2 - My wife 3 - My house 4 - My career and type of company I appreciate being involved with
To me, I keep the things that matter most and give up things that I found out I didn't really need (for context, I never really watched a lot of television).
This schedule works for me and I end up working 10 hours a day and never miss a beat with my kids.
PS. I also about twice a day, for 5 minutes, FaceTime with my wife/kids while at work. It's a nice break and a chance for me to see them during the day given I miss them in the morning.
I've been finding 8.1 really nice also. Design apps like Photoshop / Macaw etc work fine in Windows... for things like Rails / Node (stuff that seems to be a better experience on Linux systems...) I've been using Vagrant to setup a box specific to the project.
Is that anywhere in the standard itself, or are you criticizing a particular textbook?
Haha, no, I'm not. I only have a 1-year undergrad intro econ course plus a mathematics degree and my own intuition. I don't think I've actually read any primary literature in the econ field, only my textbook (and not much of that, either!).
It has nothing to do with that. Wealth in this country is in no way correlated to math ability.

I have a '70's (?) printing of the first edition in 12 volumes with about four volumes of supplements. I prefer it because (a) I am getting old and I can read it without a microscope, and (b) it provides much better ammunition if I'm ever confronted with a room full of internet pedants. Each volume is fairly hefty, and two or three would crush the life out of even the most robust twit.
The sample size isn't necessarily the problem. For example: if we wanted to compare 20 cannabis users to 20 non-users, and we measured whether or not they felt "high", I bet our total sample of n=40 would be plenty to show a strong effect of pot use on "feeling high," it would be statistically significant, and it would not be a distortion of the truth at all.

This is an interaction between reporters and exploratory research. Statistical significance works best with confirmatory research, in which there is an a priori hypothesis, a set of falsifiable predictions, and a specific experimental design that manipulates just one or two variables in such a manner as to potentially falsify the predictions. However, confirmation is only half of science.

Before the confirmation stage, there should always be exploration, and that's what this study represents. "Let's put cannabis users in an MRI and see what happens!" It's impossible to draw conclusions from exploratory research in the same way we do from confirmatory research. The main problem is that there's usually no hypothesis, nothing to falsify, and therefore no statistical test exists to help sift through the results.

However, significance testing can still suggest whether an exploratory finding is deviant. If one group mean is different from another group mean, it's totally fair to report that difference. I didn't have to dig too deep into the original article to find out the authors weren't making any outrageous claims. It's merely that journalists reported the exploratory results as if they were the generated by a confirmatory, falsifiable hypothesis. In fact, the scientists were just reporting an interesting difference they observed.

Anyway, the point is not that the study should not have been published at all. The study was fine, the work is valuable, and the reporting was overzealous/misinformed.

Edit: updating to add that the scientists did have some ideas about what kinds of differences they were expecting, consistent with animal models. I might venture to say they had some clearly falsifiable hypotheses, too. The science is fine, and so are the scientists. It's the reporting that is the problem.
Absolutely. It was not the stores that made it work, it was the new products. If it was just Macs for sale, it would have likely turned out as the author prognosticated.

Still though, reading this, I wonder if Steve knew that as well going in, and already had bigger plans in mind.
Where do you get this impression? I've lived in France my whole life and most people I know try to avoid subtitles as much as possible. Most of the foreign TV contents are dubbed anyway, except on a few channels (Arte).

This may be less true for the new generation accustomed to watching subtitled TV shows on the internet, instead of waiting for a few years to get them in French on TV.
I read this book two months ago and can still recall most of his 'to do list' from the example. Was inspired by it to use the techniques to memorize collections of facts for a recent exam and they work wonderfully. I'm not saying it's easy to create vivid/unique/unusual images - it's certainly not. But if you invest the time and energy they really do stick.

Great idea to use the commute as the memory palace!

Interestingly, my daughter is learning to read and write by taking a word that she finds interesting, drawing a scene involving the word, then writing the word below it. I'm not sure if her preschool teachers are aware that they are using memory techniques to some extent.
Isn't that the whole point though? A game is a game of skill iff you can differentiate between beginners and experts.
Interesting, it might solve my dilemna regarding RequireJS vs Browserify given the npm requirejs has one troublesome issue with the paths aliases config getting erased (& can't be restored either) once .optimize has been called to make an Almond build. That's why I switched to Browserify in most recent projects, however I have one issue with it and it feels I'm missing something obvious:

What is the right way to use Browserify transforms server-side?

------------------

Because Browerify assumes you use Node's own require() server-side while RequireJS (and now also AMDRequire) have their own module to provide an enhanced require function.
The closest I could come up with (besides giving up and precompiling to a single file before calling Node) is using the deprecated "require.extensions" to preprocess the file, similar to requirejs loaders, e.g. for handlebars you could add in your Node start:

var fs = require('fs');
var Handlebars = require('handlebars');
require.extensions['.handlebars'] = function (module, filename){
var code = fs.readFileSync(filename, 'utf8');
module.exports = Handlebars.compile(code);
};

Then require('./something.handlebars') in modules you share client and server-side gives you the already-compiled template regardless if you're running in Node or in the browser (if you also use the handlebar transforms for Browserify).

I'm sure I'm missing something very obvious here.
I've seen many a publication where the scientist urge restraint in interpreting results, but then the newspapers completely ignore their pleas and go instead to proclaim "Study of 10 subjects proves X could make you immortal!". It's irresponsible journalism.
To regard the Constitution as "the highest law of the land" is, at this point in the history of the United States, somewhere between naïve and just plain silly.

The actual highest law of the land is that made by Supreme Court fiat, when they rule on the cases which they choose to hear, and whose rulings no man may practicably gainsay. Below that there are many levels of law, arranged in the sort of untidy and inter-referential tangle which any software engineer might expect out of a system that's been being patched and extended for two centuries straight; if we take the increasingly vestigial federal/state/local distinction as our demarcation, Congress occupies much of the lower half of the upper third. And, of course, at every level, and just as at all other times and places throughout the entire broad span of human history, the basic rule is that what's legal is what you get away with.

Is this how the matter ought to be? Perhaps, and perhaps not; I've seen arguments both ways. But, either way, this is how the matter is.
JRubyConf.EU 2014
I don't know; I bet that happens pretty well now: Scientist says, "well, foo could be because A, B, or C; we just don't know." Journalist asks, "what would happen if B?" Scientist says, "well, it's unlikely, but D could happen".

Newspaper reports, "Scientists Show D Happens Because Foo Causes B".

The real problem is there is no disincentive to ignore the truth and publish sensationalist drivel, but there are definitive incentives to do so: you get more readers, you tend to embed yourself in whatever philosophical echo chamber you are trying to reach, and, as a result, you get more money. Until there are disincentives, the problem will never go away.
His study of more than a billion hands of online Texas Hold’em found that 85.2 percent of the hands were decided without a show of cards. In other words, players’ betting decisions were of overwhelming importance in determining the outcome. Of the remaining 14.8 percent, almost half were won by a player who didn't hold the best hand but instead had induced the player with the best hand to fold before the showdown.

Isn't inducing the player with the best hand to fold before showdown the same as a hand decided without a show of cards? Or do they mean that 85.2% of hands were decided without seeing the flop? Both don't sound right.
I don't dispute the general findings of the study summarized by the article, but who's choosing the images that go along? The article opens with a mention of the "deep South" and is accompanied by a photo of a rusted bus in a field?

The middle picture with the caption "There is a complacency about mainstream US education standards" shows an anonymous residential street. And the final picture captioned "Massachusetts has high results by international standards" shows a gleaming, gated, gold-domed building [Update: turns out its the Massachusetts State House--that's a fair comparison with a rusty bus in a Mississippi field].

So kids in Mississippi attend school in rusty old buses, whild kids in Massachussetts go to pristine palatial academies, I guess? Also, it turns out there are streets with houses in the US.
The latest statistical analysis suggests that baseball involves more matters of chance than anyone would like to admit. Beyond home runs and strikeouts, it's mostly random. Luck and skill are all around us to varying unmeasurable degrees, including in a game of poker.
What about NJ Transit? It's about the same total area and population as the bay area
Having gone to school in MA, I know educational spending ($/student) here is inversely correlated with performance.

But I'm not really worried about national average, state average, even school average: there just needs to be the opportunity to succeed for individual students, wherever they're located.
Regardless of what your team ends up doing, get it in writing and have it legally reviewed before anyone signs it ... this applies to both unpaid interns and employees. If you do this, it'll pretty much force your team to face the legal issues before they become a problem.
> That awful, no-good, pesky L3 just keeps sending these packets that nobody wants

You don't seem to understand peering at all. That's ok. Be quiet, listen to the rest of us that do.

No one gets to connect to Comcast's network unless they pay. You and me, we pay a monthly bill.

Peers pay the way by accepting Comcast's traffic in (roughly) equal amounts.

Level 3 isn't paying. You're absolutely right, Comcast doesn't want those. If you want them despite this, then the onus is on you to connect to Level 3 directly.

> People pay Comcast to transfer packets between themselves and the internet services

No they do not. If they believe this, they are mistaken. If that is a problem for them, they're free to discontinue doing business with Comcast.

Comcast cannot even charge them and offer a special "Netflix connectivity" service, because your herders have already taught you how to chant "network neutrality".

If all of this bothers you very much, then I would hope that you take the time to think carefully and profoundly and realize (as I have) that perhaps peering no longer works.

> In a free market, Comcast's inability to do that would result in customers leaving in droves.

They can leave now.

> It really shouldn't matter (within the bounds of legal reason) what's in the packets.

It doesn't matter. It matters where they're from, and that they're in roughly equal amounts to what Comcast sends.
The funny thing is that Google, Viacom,...etc already pay for ISP datacenter access. Why should netflix get a 'free' pass?

Totally agree on the peering aspect, and this is not a new issue. Comcast even posted a video explaining 'free' peering, but sadly took it down (http://corporate.comcast.com/comcast-voices/how-internet-pee...).

As I've mentioned before though, imagine if you paid a per GB cost. Then Comcast would want more Netflix traffic, not less. Where-as in the current system Comcast could care less how much of your 300GB cap you use, hence them wanting to be paid to upgrade their peering exchanges.
So, will the Board of Directors hold anyone accountable to ?millions? of records being stolen (they have 128 million possible)? For now no CC info was believed lost, but they likely don't have any way to know unless they see fraudulent usage...
The CRTC has basically washed their hands any internet content. They worry about the internet itself, but not the actual stuff you put on it the way they worry about radio/cable/broadcast content. It's naive and inconsistent but as a Netflix fan I can't really complain about it.

To their credit, Netflix does license a bunch of Canadian content from the CBC and Global TV, which shows a good-faith attempt to provide Canadian content. I doubt they pay much for it though, and I doubt their ratio matches the CRTC's requirements.
I'm being loose with my terminology. I guess that was a mistake. Look, I don't even know what we're arguing over. Here's some words from CLtL2:

5.1.3. Special Forms

...

An implementation is free to implement as a macro any construct described
herein as a special form. Conversely, an implementation is free to implement
as a special form any construct described herein as a macro if an equivalent
macro definition is also provided. The practical consequence is that the
predicates macro-function and special-form-p may both be true of the same
symbol. It is recommended that a program-analyzing program process a form
that is a list whose car is a symbol as follows:

1) If the program has particular knowledge about the symbol, process the
form using special-purpose code. All of the symbols listed in table 5-1
should fall into this category.

2) Otherwise, if macro-function is true of the symbol, apply either
macroexpand or macroexpand-1, as appropriate, to the entire form and
then start over.

3) Otherwise, assume it is a function call.
It's not a plural, it's a contraction of mathematics.

Curiously I think Americas still say they study physics.

Love the idea; naive, noobie question: since your sensor density presumably depends very much on population density, how does this affect your model?

Honestly, the problem is a collection of so many problems that it's very difficult to really even assess the situation properly. It could be the overemphasis on standardized testing. It could be the lack of support teachers get in inner cities and the fact that they have to babysit 50% of the time. It could be the public school system's unwillingness to adapt. It could be the unions fighting tooth and nail to prevent more charter schools from opening. It could even be the charter schools not actually working!

Personally, I think the problem is that the public school system can't work well enough in poor areas. I think those children need a completely different education system to work for them (longer hours, after school programs, school uniforms!, etc).
