Because they are complaining about factors that an Open Source approach would mitigate, like development resources and targeting features that make the most money as opposed to what benefits the community.

If Windows was Open Source, this would have been addressed a long time ago as this feature is desirable to what one would consider a power user. Advanced users are also the ones who roll up their sleeves and will fix a problem if they can, especially if no one from the parent company is making any effort to do so. But, thanks to Closed Source protectionism, they can't. And because their value to Microsoft is the same as any other user as they pay the same license fees as anyone else, the voice of the power user is drowned out and their concerns are never addressed.

This is just one glowing example of Closed Source working against the betterment of a platform.

Seriously, how can one NOT reach the same conclusion?

I don't think it's meant as a model of wealth redistribution. I personally just like the fact that Bitcoin allows me to pay for things in a one-time sort of way.

Middle group is likely to be primarily made up of linebackers, running backs, with a few of the larger tight ends there as well.

These players, while having some responsibility in the passing game are primarily involved in either running the ball, or defending against the run. And having a bit more mass there is very beneficial, but they still need to be able to have the speed to be able to work horizontal across the field and sometimes be quite a ways away from the line of scrimmage by the end of the play.
That was very interesting for me, an Australian living in the US. Phoenix specifically. I'm constantly amazed at how quickly American's can spot that I'm an Aussie.

I've gotten pretty used to the obvious different words between Australia and the US; rubbish = trash, car boot = trunk, pram = stroller, take away = carry out / to go, etc.

However this quiz highlighted a bunch that I wouldn't have been aware of, such as no one in the US knowing what soft-drink is and nature strip wasn't even on the list for "the grass beside a road".
This likely has a lot to do with how they do detection.

Swift uses the .swift extension, which is pretty unique, so detection is as simple as checking for the file extension with a very low risk of a bad classification.

Some of the older, more popular languages uses more common file-suffixes, which may be shared between multiple programming languages, which has a negative impact on classification accuracy.
100 things every game student should know
A better analogy would be traces. They're almost never even theoretically useful, because they terminate with the being gun stolen or sold in a way that can't be traced, but they start with asking the manufacturer which distributor bought the gun, which leads to the gun store, where the ATF Form 4473 tells you who bought it at the retail level.

If manufacturers forced distributors and gun stores to sign NDAs ... well, we know how that vs. the clear laws and regulations on the books would resolve.

Somehow these other Constitutionally enumerated rights seem to be getting about as much respect as the 2nd Amendment does....

To quote a great scene from the movie "Waking Life" [1] by Linklater:

"When I say 'love', the sound comes out of my mouth and it hits the other person's ear, travels through this byzantine conduit in their brain, you know, through their memories of love, or lack of love, and they register what I'm saying and they say 'Yes, I understand'..but how do I know they understand because words are inert. They're just symbols. They're dead. You know, and so much of our experience is intangible. So much of what we perceive cannot be expressed, it's unspeakable. And yet, when we communicate with one another, and we feel we have connected and we think that we're understood, I think that we have a feeling of almost spiritual communion, and that feeling might be transient, but I think that's what we live for".

I start writing a ORM (that is how I learn a new language). Very fast I hit problems. The keynote and the state of union say swift is ready for production, but is not there yet. The coding experience is buggy, the repl violate the language (is possible to change a constant to another type!), the importing of other obj-c code is sometimes broken (ie: Not work at all, or yes). A lot of things are not documented (For example, how do a generator?), etc

Still, I hope this lang mature and be popular, because I want badly to not use obj-c

All of which won't get cached by cloudflare.

The group on the far left would be the defensive backs actually. That position is best suited for the little and quick guys. While receivers can, and are small (think a Wes Welker type), receivers are also enormous (Calvin Johnson). If a corner were the size of Johnson, for example, the team would put him in as a receiver since that's more valuable.

The worst annoyance for me is when they accept my 32+ character password - which I generate and paste from a password manager - and then they silently truncate it to a shorter length! No error, nothing. I remember hearing about some services that did this but the longer passwords still worked, which gave users a false sense of security.

What I run into more frequently is that I have to click the 'Forgot password' link and reset it. Then I cross my fingers and wait to see if they email it back in plain text (this is unforgivable) so I can count the characters and learn what the max length is that way.

Like how has this news affected your personal life at all. Did this action diminish your capability to have a job of your choosing? Did it prevent you from raising children? Did it prevent you from doing something you love? How different is your life now? Because the voting public isn't going to care unless their ability to live their life has been affected, and it hasn't.
Probably because is hard to track the chain of calls that could have change the data. If inmutable, you are sure what exactly you have at hand.

But the article point to a inconsistent mutable/inmutable behavior that is more problematic.
That would be a waste of resources given the chances of a real criminal testing his/her password strength on a government-operated website are very remote. Even then, they would have to invest in marketing to get people to actually use it when, we all know now, the GHCQ/NSA can simply collect everything at critical infrastructure points.

This looks like a good idea, poorly executed.
> People are going to vote anyway

Post-WWII in the US, in Presidential general elections (generally, the highest turnout elections), the highest turnout was 62.8% in 1960, the lowest 49.0% in 1996, and most elections have been in the mid-50%s. So, "people are going to vote anyway" seems pretty far from true.

OK, that still doesn't mean it's a good idea to say that some useful new combination of PGP, TLS and AES-NI is "DRM."

You do realize that DRM started out basically as trusted execution, and that the other layers of meaning you're piling on are just politics?

It's not "fluffy sentiment" to believe that words mean what other people understand them to mean.

Okay then. Global Warming is a debate, vaccines are harmful, and people freeze instantly when they step into vacuum, then.

The report you refer to, about the bot at MtGox, is itself speculative, interpretative, and proves nothing. Just a heads up, before you jump into your radical conclusions:

An Occam's Razor approach to understanding the data, is that the bot was performing legitimate buys for an institutional investor who would have made a deal offline, and directly, with MtGox. There is a perfectly plausible explanation to the bot that is not nefarious. So, please reconsider you "irreparable" decision, since its basis are far form solid.

There are many reasons to believe the rise is 'real', especially that the fundamentals are enormously more solid now than when it crossed $650 now than when it reached that price for the first time (in november).

Fundamentals, you say? I am afraid that there are more serious ways to learn about those than whether the "normals" you interact with are using it or talking about it just now. Your personal perspective might not necessarily provide the whole picture! I recommend you get your data from a site like http://www.bitcoinpulse.com/ check it, please, and tell me if you still stand by your arguments.

Also, 'volatility' is not argument enough to eliminate the reasons why people like to be paid in Bitcoin. I prefer Bitcoins over Dollars without hesitation, and I am very glad I have been paid in Bitcoin in the past. Other people just want to accept any kind of money their customers want to give them, and eliminate the volatility exposure by using Bitpay and the like.
"... but this language, once released, will be fixed for a decade at least. Something with that lifespan should be great from day one."

I'm not sure why the author believes that once the language ships it cannot change. Surely all languages evolve and change over time, it would be foolish to think Swift as it ships in September will not change for a decade after that.

When it surprises you. It is easier to reason about code when you know that values will not change - an immutable value cannot change so you don't have to worry about passing it around, using it in asynchronous processes, changing it without persisting the change, etc.
What sort of method would be used to cluster those, statistically speaking? Like, given a data set like that, how would you determine if the distribution is multi-modal or unimodal?

No reason to be so pessimistic about quantum randomness. Quantum theory is barely 100 years old and our understanding of it is still evolving massively. Though the latter is not always appreciated by the public.
This is why I'm starting skymind[1] to address. Many of these companies are using cutting edge techniques without a focus on usability (since they know this stuff). The hope here is to create an off the shelf package people can just use with only knowledge of fairly conventional machine learning techniques while also avoiding the problems of having to program in java (which isn't realistic in data science) or even lua.

Many people could benefit from a neural nets ability to create good features for itself, but it's hard to use in a practical setting. That being said over the next few years I believe this can change.

Three big questions:

1. What's the rate of inflation in the total point supply? Since points are created and never exchanged, it seems like the point supply is strictly inflationary, and will eventually be devalued to the point where it's pointless to pay for things with them.

2. What's the check-and-balance? Your model has users giving themselves points; what stops them from just giving themselves a million points for getting out of bed?

3. What's the incentives for users to take points rather than dollars?

A language that is constantly changing in fundamental ways is not usable for serious software. Languages are largely constrained by the choices that were made when they were released. See Python 3 for an example of what happens when a language tries to make breaking changes — and Python's were relatively minor! No language could thrive while going through that sort of strife constantly.

It is a very different way of thinking about programming, but immutable inputs remove a whole class of bugs that can happen.

It is analogous to global variables. We know they are bad, because any other piece of code can change them and break our code.

A variable having state is similar. When you think about what a function does or write tests... having the variable be able to have many unknown states increases the complexity.

In code we write everyday, a variable might be undefined, null, a valid phone number as a string, etc. But in immutable code, if your input comes from a function that returns either None or a valid phone number as a string and no other code can tweak this... then your code becomes much easier to think about and write tests for.
