First Round Capital Has Set Itself Up for Fisking 
First Round Capital set itself up for fisking after boldly stating that it aims to be the Harvard Business Review for entrepreneurs with its publication 'First Round Review - Actionable Insights for Entrepreneurs'. Here's a rebuttal to First Round's stupid article published in AlleyWatch
It will most likely be wrapped into the purchase price of the car and financed.

This may be the most baffling thing I've ever seen. Why? Imagine if they put this kind of effort into solving, I don't know, virtually any other problem in the universe.
The usual case for this is when there are patches applied by the distribution.

It's also more likely to work out of the box without having to hunt for build dependencies.

This is mostly useful when you care about contributing bugfixes to the distro patches, or you can't get the upstream source to build easily.

Maybe you should first fix the submission form as it fails due to a network error.
A Supreme Court opinion has several functions: 1) it resolves a real live dispute between two parties; 2) it gives guidance to the other federal courts; 3) it serves as a statement of the law to the public.

For (1), you want to publish immediately, because the parties have already waited a long time to get the dispute resolved. For (2), you want to publish quickly, because the federal Courts of Appeal need to implement the new guidance in other cases, and may be holding cases that pose the same question pending the Supreme Court's resolution. For (3), you want to have enough time to polish something, because it will be referenced for decades to come.

The system of publishing a bench opinion, a slip opinion, and a final published opinion reflects these conflicting needs.
As soon as you turn it competitive, you lose the benefits of this type of event ....

Strongly disagree with this meme.

There's a long, wonderful tradition of competitive hacking and nerdery: soap box derbies, spelling bees, egg drop competitions, balsa wood bridge building contests, and trivia bowls, to name a few. Since when did competition stop any of these from being fun ways to learn new things, show off your skills, and make friends?
A nice idea. I would prefer a link to donate to Watsi (any people with the same or similar illnesses?) or to some page covering latest best quality research (and some explanation of that research).
Couldn't they have come up with a better name for a super-smart computer than "The Machine?"
HP-UX? Hps unix variant. It had some good features and some odd issues. One of my least favorite OSs.

HPUX did have an add-on (Real Time Extensions?) to allow you to disable processor interrupts on select processors providing almost realtime mainframe(superdome) computing (some system calls were verboten in this mode). Of course a crash would mean a reboot. Grouping processes to processor sets (psrsets) was kind of neat.

So they did try and its not like they didn't have experience with OS development before. Starting with Linux is probably a better bet for them.
"There was, in fact, a question at a recent “tea time” — bi-weekly employee meetings with top execs — about Rowghani’s large sale of his shares. Those in attendance told me that Rowghani got up and told the audience that he was not thrilled to answer the question, but noted that he wanted the money to give to research to battle a disease that took his father’s life. It was an emotional address, said those present."

Approximately nobody in the US would rather wait for the final binding version of the opinion, for avoidance of uncertainty, than read about the bench opinion on CNN. The very few people who care about this issue already know they need to watch for the preliminary and bound opinions.

The SCOTUS website itself is excruciatingly clear about these points:

Apple gets this spot on by having an icon represent the action actually being performed, i.e., sending some information somewhere

Yet most people find the Apple icon obtuse and confusing. I would hardly say that's spot on when it fails at its primary role.
You can bid whatever you want for followers. Twitter uses the same tactics as all auction-based advertisers and tries to tell you that you'll have to set prices at $4 per action to see any results, when in reality they'll happily take your 30 cents per action if that's all you're willing to give them. There's no fixed price attached to action acquisition, so for these guys it's all about what you can get someone to pay, and you get them to pay more by telling them several times that they need to pay more to see results.

You might want to read up on past Congresses since the 113th is actually pretty tame compared to quite a few of the others. Speaker O'Neil could get quite vicious and he wasn't even the most powerful Speaker.

But what about when they come from another browser or on mobile?

Most people will check their email from their mobile devices. Could be a different browser than where they started, so now they have no easy way of removing the alert, (unless we generate new codes for that in every email?)
> I would be floored, completely bewildered, and stupefied beyond belief if any Congress other than the 113th thought they had the ability to legislate what the Supreme Court can write in its decisions.

There's a difference between legislating what the Supreme Court can write in their decisions and legislating the manner in which the Supreme Court must publicize its decisions and changes to them.

And the issue, to be clear, here is the latter, not the former.
What asher said. Man pages are convenient and man works nicely with other Unix command line tools. Info behaves more like a browser and plays by its own rules.

Its not that I want to discourage anybody from using their preferred documentation resource. If a developer would rather spend their time writing info pages, that's okay. But at least dump it into a man page. Even an oversized man paged like the one for mplayer is preferable to a pithy page telling me to use info. If I want something with hyperlinks I'll check the web.
You could also use something like Firebase as a datastore that could persist across multiple clients but also be implemented in javascript.

Yes. wfwalker said it best here: https://hacks.mozilla.org/2014/06/testing-your-native-androi...

"We share your frustration with the tradeoffs we have to make on Android regarding security versus openness, as I’m sure Amazon does as well. For example, it would be cool if we could ask people to trust apps they install from marketplace.firefox.com rather than from all sources. Unfortunately, I don’t think we have that option.

We, along with third-party native android app stores like Amazon, chosen to ask users to enable the third-party application setting because we think the benefits to users of our ecosystem outweigh the risks of doing so. We believe our security model and strict control over permissions for web apps means that the Firefox Marketplace apps that users install on their Android devices will be safe."

You are correct. As well as unchecking alerts in the settings.

It seems that the solution to having a username/password is to make everything run from links via those emails, after they've confirmed. This may be worth exploring.

That's all true, but it still doesn't follow that patents themselves prevent competition on cost. For example, if a non-practicing patent holder licensed their patent to all interested parties, then the licensees must also compete on cost. So far as I can tell, patents were explicitly designed to allow that scenario, among others.
Amazon's cloud player was the first music locker I tried (I believe in the US it predated Spotify along with google music and certainly icloud/itunes integration). I keep forgetting to cancel my prime account, so I thought I'd check this out.

Well, it was "better" on every axis except one -- it was centralized. But anyone could be an issuer of a currency, on his own infrastructure (potentially run by third parties), so while each currency was centralized, you could have an arbitrary number of currencies, and meta-currencies (e.g. a "this is a basket of all USD IOUs from US Fortune 500 companies"). There was no inherently centralized point; open source software, a bunch of loosely connected servers, and using realtime markets for the decentralization.

Being decentralized is a huge advantage for Bitcoin in a lot of scenarios, but where being decentralized doesn't help, Bitcoin has a lot of baggage, is slow, inefficient, not inherently cryptographically secure (i.e. the safety comes from size of network, not for the first participant based on the strength of a public key algorithm). So, IMO, in the ideal world we'll have both something like Bitcoin for when decentralized single currencies are needed, and a bunch of centralized currencies for other purposes.

Yes, fisticuffs were common for impromptu human fights. But the stuff with evolutionary implications usually resulted from ambushes: People hiding in the bushes with sticks and stones, waiting for one and his buddies to walk by.

Or just hitting him over the head with a rock while he slept.

Forager societies more closely resemble middle school than modern life. In modern life, you can get in a fight at the bar and not see the person you lost to for weeks - if ever. In middle school, you lose a fight and you have to see that person every day for the rest of your life - unless you skip town (leave the tribe) - which appears to have been somewhat common.

Thus any fisticuffs victory will be hollow, as the loser can simply murder you one day when you least expect it.
The "watch this" mentions are something different - that's Google's way of trying to make things go viral (or something like that) on their social feeds, and I believe is completely unnecessary.
I also use them. I set up an Apache reverse proxy to them from my domain so that their invoices appear to be mine completely. I paid for their freemium upgrades (one-time payment of about $150+). For me they hit the right pricepoint where I'd rather pay than invest my own time on a solution. I wish they supported Stripe or another credit card processor though (instead of PayPal only).
CourtListener sometimes has multiple versions depending on the particular court and the case. Many courts will post opinions, correct typos (and who knows what else), and then re-post them later, as new opinions or just edits.

There's basically no consistency whatsoever. Courts don't even write their case numbers the same way from district to district, let alone format their opinions the same.

Definitely not, but as the OP wrote, you don't start at the HTML5 spec if you want to learn to make web pages. Learning to use a screen reader and actually testing sites with it is not only a very important skill to have, but it will give developers more insight and perspective into accessibility. Standards can fill in the gaps, but I believe you still need a 'wow' moment when you feel completely lost on a website.

> The first place I see MVC JS frameworks fall apart is when they have both Controllers and Routers.

You have to remember that MVC is a very, very loosely defined term. The Ember MVC is very, very different than the Rails MVC. Ember's is much closer to Cocoa or Smalltalk in this regard.

To see how these bits fit together in Ember, I highly recommend seeing Tom's talk on URLs and their importance: http://vimeo.com/77760308 (you can skip the first 12:35 or so, and around 30:38 is where it really gets into it.)

HPUX is light years ahead of Linux on workload management, seriously. HP have an amazing portfolio of OSs, HPUX, OpenVMS, Domain/OS, NonStop, etc. Linux is the lowest common denominator, in 2014 it's barely where these were in 1994...
Maybe - I'm not going to self-diagnose myself as a calm individual. But this kind of anxiety was more like stage fear then some continual anxiety. Hands tingling, stomach upset, nervous. In the 8 years since I stepped away from the drug option, I've never again felt that sort of reaction.
I'd have to agree that randomly finding something on the Internet proves little. However, for a definition of a term like "non-fiction," you're not necessarily looking for an authority, but rather just something that makes sense. (Even if you found a definition in Webster's, it carries no legal weight at all. Nor does WikiAnswers.)

Your concern about changes seems valid. Maybe this could be solved by actually copying the original cited material so the original could be viewed later by interested parties? I'd hate to make the entire Internet off-limits to legal authorities just because of the potential for change.
I disagree. Eric Meyer has been writing about Rebecca's cancer since they found out on their vacation last summer, and many have been following. This isn't something that just happened today. It's been happening for nearly a year.

I bet they've been waiting to do this for quite a while. Why? Because this is exactly what Microsoft did to them with Surface, two years ago. HP clearly hasn't forgiven Microsoft for that stunt, and since then it has only tried to strengthen the relationship with Google and put more ChromeOS/Android devices on the market.

From the article: "Social-media competitors Twitter and Pinterest do honor the setting."
> "IMHO, the most ideal strike a human can give without injuring themselves would be from the shin or heel. If you look at animals that don't have sharp teeth or claws, often they'll use their hind legs in a kicking motion to provide the most powerful hit, while moving their sensitive head/neck/chest away from the target. A few human groups developed fighting styles this way, but for millenia we've still been fighting standing up. I can only assume this is because we got so used to being bipedal that we adapted our fighting to it."

Most fights between people end up on the ground very quickly. Optimizing for full-stroke punches and kicks effectively forces your strategy to be "debilitate the other guy before he can get inside and close". The difference between humans and the non-toothed/clawed animals you mention is that humans have arms and hands that can defend against the slower knockout blows you mention.

Wrestling is a more accurate sports approximation for how humans "naturally" fight (assuming 1-on-1).
Sounds right, esp for hotels. Though taxis are already distributed and on-demand. Just regulated centrally.

Deregulation is pretty common: banking, utilities (electricity, gas, telecommunications), railways, jails. States get a phenomenal one-off budgetary windfall from sale of infrastructure assets, and buyers get a government mandated toll-bridge - everybody wins! Though more governmental than "societal" as I previously described it.

Governments aren't driving hotel/taxi deregulation, but the hard-won legal and admin expertise to do it is sitting around with nothing to do...
I'm glad to hear that. For myself, I became more afraid of the side effects then the ADD.
