I've learned there is one rule when it comes to design in Word: Thou shall only use styles.

Once someone tries to muck with settings for individual pieces external of the style then it just goes to hell. I wish they'd take all the formatting tools out of toolbar and only have them accessible via the style formatter.
RethinkDB 1.13: pull data via HTTP, push data via changefeeds
They are quoting one side of the negotiation that is trying to pressure youtube for better terms, "blocking" is their spin for youtube not agreeing to licence their videos for a higher rate thus resulting in them being taken down.

Youtube can't simply just take down videos that are legal and fully owned by their willing uploader.

What is happening here isn't youtube taking down the music of 'individuals' that have uploaded them to their channels, youtube licences these videos from these labels, once the licensing isn't applicable they no longer have the legal right to publish them, thus "blocking" them.
As an American I find that Poland's service being so great seems so embarrassing to me. How can we embarrass our ISP and our politicians to use that fact to upgrade what we get? No offense to Poland but the US is supposed to lead the world in stuff if for no other reason than our huge size and economic power. Yet our internet service is far below average? What does Poland do that makes this work so well?

Excellent call on the Oz books. L. Frank Baum was quite prolific and built a whole pantheon of characters beyond those most people know from the Judy Garland movie. When I was in elementary school, I was lucky enough to inherit most of Baum's Oz books (in hardcover, bound in the late 40s and 50s) and consider them a real gem. The illustrations by John R. Neill were fantastic.

Why Hollywood continues to insist on ignoring a treasure-trove of "canon" material in favor of utter crap cobbled together by teams of screenwriters is beyond me.

I had to create this account just to correct this. "Broadband" means the data is modulated on to a wide spectrum signal, on the same copper as the POTS network. Anything from good old 512kbit/s upwards can be "broadband". I say "can be", because if it's not using a wide spectrum signal, e.g. fibre-optics, then that's not broadband.
Ok, offtopic rants are not ok.
I should have been clearer, myself. My problem is not that I may have to drop preconceptions from other programming languages. My beef is that the word has meaning outside of programming. And is part of the reason it was chosen in said programming languages.

Imagine if it was called "name". And we had to "throw out all preconceptions you have with the word 'name.'"
Could you describe how you actually intend to version the database in any sort of technical language? There are existing methods of doing RDMBS versioning and I don't know of any that have tried using git.

If you want to do something that makes no sense, asking for money to do it doesn't make it more realistic.

Certainly not. I don't think there's anything unethical about what you described.

What I wrote was in response to the notion that he would be angered had you actually "tricked" TechCrunch into writing about you. They, after all, are the one's publishing the story so if they print information that is untrue that they didn't bother vetting, that's their fault, not anybody else's.

If I send a bogus tip to the Washington Post and they immediately run a story on it without question, that's incredibly irresponsible on their part and the fault lies with them. That may seem like an unlikely scenario, but the same thing happens on a daily basis on blogs and slightly lesser-known news outlets with readership in the millions.

That would be an insult to him. Standard Oil did some of the shadiest anti-competitive stuff that resulted in many of the laws to protect against monopolies today.

The fact that it forwards package registration to the underlying ghc-pkg system, has very poor/nearly nonexistent record keeping, and can't perform uninstall operations are kinda crucial. I've never heard of a packager manager that can't uninstall.

If you present it as a package manager, even if it's a bad one, then you also telegraph a certain amount of implied functionality, and in turn the user has a certain level of confidence that the system is smart enough to do its best to prevent you from damaging your package ecosystem (not a guarantee, but at least an effort); cabal and by extension cabal-install doesn't provide this at all. It simply provides a way to install packages and makes a best effort at meeting the build goals required for individual commands to succeed in a vacuum.

I hesitate to call that a package "manager". It's just a very mediocre package installer.

Too bad the employees are not getting in on this racket?

Right, but I have preconceptions of the word "return" that have nothing to do with programming. I'm fine if you want to think of it as "returning to the monadic environment."

That is, in English, you can return to things just as easily as you can return from them. I may have to forget some of the things that are common in other environments. But to use a word that has meaning outside of programming and to decry that you have to lose all preconceptions of that word, implies heavily that it was named poorly.

The average smartphone bill is like $160 a month, and charges $10 a GB once you go beyond somewhere around 250MB to 10GB.

Contrast to $70-$80 a month for fiber optic that, if capped, is somewhere around 300 GB.

Verizon and AT&T won't give us optical fiber not because it is "too expensive" but because it is too cheap.

If we had universal optic fiber we could have good wireless coverage where everybody lives and works for 1/10 the OPEX of expensive and high latency LTE. Legacy LTE technology is great if you want to play angry birds when you crash your car, but other than that it is a horrible way to provision internet bandwidth.
Hired is basically a team of recruiters (well, at least there are a good 10 of us coming from various flavors of recruiting) and even we have a need for external recruiters and internal interview coordinator.

The external recruiters we use are in markets we don't know a lot about (like Marketing - which we are hiring for big time right now). The internal coordinator helps keep onsites organized and managing the huge amount of interview flow through the organization so that key stakeholders still have some time to do their jobs.

The low-end contingency recruiting agencies have given the whole profession in San Francisco a bad name, when in reality there are great people (like Oliver, from the post) who do great work and are incredibly valuable to a fast growing organization.

I encourage anyone interested in cults to watch the documentary film "Kumare" which is available on Netflix and Itunes [1].

It's the story of a film maker of Indian origin who creates a cult persona and gains followers in the Phoenix area. It's really fascinating to see what kinds of people fall for it and how they are increasingly more drawn to him.

in the same train of thought does not compute. Raid arrays do not protect your data. Only backups will do that.

In fact, striped raid arrays will tend to lose data faster than a drive by itself - when it comes time to calculate parity, they'll find an overlooked mistake and take out 2-3 more drives, writing off all the data on that cluster at once.
I've just started looking at swift since it was launched, and making really good progress so far. Having coded in Ruby, C#, C++, and C, I really enjoy and "get" swift as it's leveraging the strength from all these languages.

I also find it pretty easy to convert Objective C code (from tutorials/StackOverflow) to swift, in particular with the help of auto-completion. So in my opinion (from someone who just started, so take with a grain of salt), I would definitely suggest Swift
There's a "Download PDF" button. Holy cow, my respect for Harper's, and perception of them as a serious publication, just skyrocketed.

That's ridiculous.

Some ten year old kid wants a $300 item on a Minecraft server. The kid has been told he can't use his parent's credit card without permission, he knows he can't, but guess what: even good kids break the rules, and he knows his parents have the money. He just saw them write a $5,000 check for his private tuition! (they want to raise him right) That $5,000 check though left them with $200 in the bank for the rest of the month...

I'm not for or against server monitization, but trying to blame the parents is ridiculous. Kids are not exact molds that their parents have shaped.
Most readers of binary file formats can be made to read memory outside the buffer by corrupting the data, and FlatBuffers is no different.

I like this idea (and backed it!) but I'd have liked if the fact it was going to be a commercial font was more apparent on the KickStarter page, as it feels a bit buried at the moment. I doubt this was deliberate, but I can say personally having the 'Font Awesome' brand being used so prominently made me think it was going to be open source.

On Ookla's NetIndex, Poland is slower on average than the U.S., and significantly slower than U.S. states with comparable density, such as Pennsylvania or New York.

The reason everyone is so impressed by countries like Poland is that their central governments proactively got fiber installed in major cities. In the U.S., that sort of thing is up to state and municipal governments. What's stopping us from wiring up San Francisco or New York or Chicago with fiber? Insane local politics. Right now, people in Chicago are flipping out because of the signage on the Trump tower. People in San Francisco halted FTTN deployment because they didn't like the look of AT&T's network cabinets. Even Google doesn't dare enter these markets.
I think I'm looking for the same things all early-stage startups are looking for.

My company exists because my co-founder is awesome. He and I willed it into existence, took pretty massive income hits to make it happen, and have put a ton of time and energy into making it happen.

Our company has been given some freedom because angel investors with their own retirement plans, families, and LPs have taken a chance on us and believe in us. The time they devote to us goes well above and beyond their potential financial gain from our success.

Our company took off because early customers have taken a chance on us because they believe in our passion and our product [0]. They are nice enough to not be "nice" and instead tell us exactly what we need to improve to be even more useful to them.

So, I want the same thing that all early-stage startup founders want. I want someone who can help me keep my promise to all those people.

As for particular skills: UX knowledge, javascript, python, django (or any web framework). Probably in that order. I'm not a big proponent of "butt in seat" time (ex: must have 5 years experience with X).

On the marketing/sales/hustler side, It's mostly about follow-up and follow-through. Show me that you have those two talents. If you've built out a marketing campaign, if you've implemented something like Predictable Revenue, if you've setup targets and tracked progress against those target, if you've produced content (blog posts, demo videos, one-page info sheets, white papers), of if you think you'd be good at taking on one of those challenges, let's talk.

But really, I just want someone who understands what it means to me to keep my promises.

I assumed as much (the SEC statement in it makes it fairly obvious). I almost threw in a few sentences about how I think if this is because the SEC, it's a very good side effect of informing investors.

I think the effect a statement like this has on normal people reading is to allow the original article to inform and excite while also containing expectations. It can dampen the more excitable of the populace, as well as those who like to set them off.

In all, regardless of why the statement is there, I think the fact that it is present is a good thing. I wasn't exactly assigning credit to Elon for it (the swipe at critics may have made it seem so), just talking in generalities.
Ok, now what? There is clearly strong demand for cryptography in client side web applications. Telling people "don't do that" isn't good enough, they're going to do it anyway. How can we make it better?

One idea: a way to bundle, hash, and optionally sign a set of HTML/CSS/JS resources (not unlike a Chrome extension). If the bundle is updated the user can be prompted. If the user desires, they can check to see if trusted individuals or groups have already reviewed the code, or review it themselves. Perhaps the code is hosted on Github (or wherever) and people can comment on questionable changes there.

End difference for consumer? None. Plus, you still haven't cited any sources, just speculation based off an admittedly single-sourced article.

Sure they can. And they do, all the time. Content Protection has nothing to do with the legality of the video. Part of the uploading EULA is that it's up to Google to decide when something goes up or comes down.

Yup, IMAP is powerful, but it's gathered some baggage over the years.

Switchboard uses a simplified interface based on JMAP[1] for client's and workers, which it does proxy into IMAP commands. One of the conveniences of Switchboard is it manages the IMAP connections: restarting them as they fail and allowing concurrent access.

It works in that sense, though.

"return x" is a monad (mobit?) which, when evaluated, returns x. The trick is that it's a distinct function, not a command.
> I'm getting far from the original topic with this rambling, but it still reads on it in one sense: There's a lot of variety to writing systems, and it's worth thinking about emoji as a spot on the spectrum instead of in isolation.

Except that emoji aren't a writing system. Writing systems encode language. Emoji encode emotions, perhaps, or suggest collections of ideas/emotions, but don't convey language per se because there's no conventionally defined correspondence between words in a language and a given emoji.

If I give you a string in English or Chinese or Arabic or Amharic, using the conventional writing systems for those languages, each string will be interoperable as a specific sequence of words in that language. A string of emoji doesn't work that way.
It seems to be, as far as I understand.

If that's actually the case, how do you handle the case where someone read a new mail (and thus, mark it as read) before app processed it ?

This is a very sensationalized article. It seems to be based almost entirely on Singer's acolytes, people with severe conflicts of interest, and long-outdated information, and doesn't reflect the current understanding of 'cults'. Some starting points. On the value of the opinion of "the doyenne of cult scholarship", an issue that the OP seems to never mention despite constant invocations and quotes of Singer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margaret_Singer#Cults

> Her expert testimony was no longer accepted after the report of the APA taskforce on Deceptive and Indirect Methods of Persuasion and Control, of which she was chair, was rejected by the Board of Social and Ethical Responsibility for Psychology (BSERP) of the American Psychological Association. Thereafter, courts shifted to accepting the position held by the great majority of scholars studying new religious movements, moving away from the perspective of Singer and others sympathetic to her brainwashing thesis.[11] This had significant consequences later on, since it meant that brainwashing could no longer be used a defence for the practice of deprogramming.[11]

(Singer, incidentally, made a lot of money from being an expert witness peddling her debunked theories.)

The only way to offset CO2 in the atmosphere is to:

a) Move carbon-based energy use to renewables

b) If possible, remove CO2 in the atmosphere and storing it in a stable state underground.

Elon is definitely working really fucking hard on the first item. The second item is what I would class as planet-level terraforming, and is going to take more than just Elon (without some sort of additional technological breakthrough).

Also, I was not insulting him by calling him Rockefeller. I was simply saying he's become a titan of industry. You might have a better comparison than I off the cuff.

I worked on an email application for a year that was on top of imap. It was slow as hell. How does switchboard get around that?

On another note, I think context.io provides a decent paid solution. How is this project different?
I did a project like this a few years ago and here are my takeaways:

1. Building on top of IMAP is very difficult. It's not a technology that is really designed for the mobile world of today (e.g. streaming, sockets for chat)

2. Threading is a bitch. The old folder tree layout is formidable.

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

That said, it's so cool to see something like this in the wild. As an engineer, I would've used this as a boilerplate for my project years ago, and it would've saved me literally six months of efforts.

Kudos to this. It's gods work.
