The consensus based global ledger of script based transactions. Bitcoin currency is just one application of such a system. Others, such as Contracts, Escrow, Title Assignment have been proposed as well - and the transaction fees of such might be much more profitable than simply identifying a input/output of a bitcoin transaction.
I honestly doubt that. For example, I tried to create a new wallet yesterday. The line indicator bar took its time (over 5 minutes) and never completed. Refreshed the page, it was there. Renamed another wallet - same thing. I'm not sure how this UI that never confirms that some operation completed can be intentional! This always happens to me - at least on Firefox as haven't used Chrome recently. Switching from Buy to Sell, for example, is the same. Any navigation, which is using history.pushState(), obviously, takes minutes, and almost never completes. I just know the routes by heart and key them in (no kidding), or click to get the route updated and then refresh. Honestly, I can't wait for Circle to grant me access... or Buttercoin or whatever alternative as we need redundancy. expresscoin seems nice, but its fees are much higher.
He's referring to techniques mentioned by Vlad's blog post about Mozilla's WebVR implementation, which was linked by this post. (Vlad's post is here - http://blog.bitops.com/blog/2014/06/26/first-steps-for-vr-on...)

Chrome is actually going to steer clear of VR+DOM until Mozilla has a working prototype.
Seems like the PR firms are the ones selling shovels in this gold rush.
I have to agree - LAX and JFK are my own personal bete noirs.

AKL isn't that wonderful - the blatant duty-free product placement at both ends of the process is (as a kiwi) frankly embarrassing, it's terribly "exit through the gift shop" sort of experience that reflects badly on us all (and always leaves me in tears from being forced to walk through all the perfume - not unlike being stuck next to that little old lady who's lost her sense of smell on the bus)
With these stories, it is usually pretty obvious to me what the person did wrong. It is not always clear that they should have been denied, but it is often clear why they were denied (and my sympathy is therefore tempered).

In this case, the lack of details makes it hard to say. However, as you pointed out, she mentioned a "visa technicality."

She also says, "I further explained that my current work visa application had been complicated due to a filing mistake and that I had been waiting on a decision."

Generally, if you leave the country with an application outstanding, that application is considered abandoned. So, if I had to guess, it looks like she was attempting to enter the U.S. to live and work without a visa. Anybody surprised at the result?

Reality check. Look at the prevalence of tattoos. Think that the prejudice against that has diminished? As far as I can tell, it's gotten worse.

Before, tattoos were sufficiently rare that if somebody had one who was applying for a job where they were unusual, they generally were given the benefit of the doubt (ex-serviceman, gang member who got out, etc.).

Now, they're so common that they're used as a proxy for "lower socioeconomic status" and all the discrimination that comes with that.

Incumbents win most elections. They also raise the most money, because... they're going to win. Campaign donors are corrupt but they're not stupid.

You're not going to fix the problems you want to fix, because you don't see how they are reinforced by every other aspect of the system.

I will second InDesign. I was having a conversation not that long ago with somebody who used to work in the printing business and that is what she used. And she had horror stories of people trying to do things with Word and HTML.
Pretty much any language will work for teaching data structures badly.

If your instructor is showing you a cool animation of a list with less than 30 elements being sorted by X algorithm, he's doing it badly. Or at least if that's all he's doing. There are by the way many schools that do just that, under the rationalization that the point of the class is to have the student practice what he learned at Programming 101. I attended such course in the day, and then went to teach the same course some years later, but I don't think the results were any good.

IF he have you run your algorithm against input taken from /dev/random, first 100KB, then 1MB, then 10MB, then 100MB he's a little less bad. IF he makes you do the whole sequence a dozen times an plot each resulting data points in a graphic with logarithmic scale, he is not bad at all.

Then you can start to discuss Big-O notation, but for the resulting graph to make any sense you need that the program written by the student to have a relatively strong correlation with what the computer is actually doing. It will not do, by example, if the runtime environment decides to implement you list as a dictionary object instead of a raw array. Also, having a relatively precise clock like Java's currentTimeMillis will reduce the possibility that you embarrass yourself if the practice do not seem to match the theory.

If the course is being taught at graduate level, you may want to run a second experiment, this time with input sizes of 1KB, 256B, 64B, 16B. At this point you will be able to discuss stuff like the Little-O notation, the constants involved in both notations, and how those are derived from Limits of the time function.

For this you will absolutely need the best clock available in your hardware, so C because a must. It will also help if you can run cc -s on your code and see what assembly is behind your code. I know it is overly ambitions, but that's how I would like to have learn about this stuff.
How is a person supposed to relax when the horizon in the photo is off from the level?
>says a lot about how Rad and Mateen view the women who use their app //

Isn't the point of the app to enable promiscuity. "Slut" is a word for a promiscuous woman, sometimes used for a prostitute, sometimes used of men (in UK at least). Surely they viewed the women who use the app as wanting to have free and easy sexual encounters, ie behave like sluts?

When the slang that associated their app with the actions of those using it, viz "tinderslut", was popularised were they not justified to consider that an achievement - the app was clearly notorious for enabling promiscuous behaviour, exactly the behaviour it was designed for.

There seems little controversial in them calling active users of their app sluts (men or women).

For me there is much to hate about the app morally but it seems rather silly to get upset that the designers of the app that people use to seek out promiscuous sex consider their users to be in to promiscuous sex?!

Clearly this person should sue Google on the grounds that all of the time, effort and energy they put into their blog entry means that it has a "right to be remembered". Or, at the very least, they have a right to a specific explanation about why it is being blocked, so they can challenge it properly (ultimately in court, if necessary).
These are vans operating in the city, not the buses of the fastcompany article.
Back when we first migrated to Postgres, Amazon had not come out with their offering for RDS yet so Heroku was the first place we looked. Unfortunately (at that time), there didn't seem to be a way to launch a Heroku PostgreSQL cluster inside of a VPC, so it was off the table for us. I haven't looked at it since but would be curious to know if that situation has changed, or if the nature of Heroku's infrastructure simply prevents it from being workable.
Betalist.

The buses in your story are between different cities and are proper buses. The buses in the original story are within New York (and out to New Jersey), and are mainly vans. Different people and services.

Unless you have a specific reason not to, you definitely should look at vi if you find Emacs' learning curve frustrating. Adhering to the Unix philosophy, vi lets you combine simple commands to achieve more complex goals, which makes the learning curve way more pleasant. For example, if you know how to jump to the next occurence of character x (fx), you already know how to delete from cursor to character x (dfx).

Vim is a very feature-rich editor, which can be distracting while learning the more basic steps. I started with nvi (the vi clone that ships with OpenBSD). Used copys of the 6th edition of O'Reilly's "Learning the vi Editor" (1998) are available practically for free. You don't have to read every single sentence ("remember that you must press ENTER to tell Unix that you are finished issuing your command"), but I found the structure very sensible.

If you don't think distraction is a problem for you, start with Vim and try the vimtutor.
To be fair, it _is_ a lot easier to make violent games than games about people because of existing infrastructure. You can make an FPS in a day with the unity game engine, using free art assets, the built in physics engine, a tiny bit of scripting, and even the built in netcode. I know next to nothing about other game engines targeted at such games, but I'm sure Source, Unreal and Cryengine all make it just as easy. This means that essentially all the money that big AAA developers throw at these games goes to making them the most refined experiences possible.

But beyond that, every way of simulating human interaction short of advanced AI will feel awkward because it's too fundamental a part of human nature. Games like _Long Live the Queen_ feel like spreadsheets and dating sims are just a genre of point and click adventure. The best game focused on human interaction that I can think of is the recent _Papers Please_ (disclaimer: I haven't played it, but it's on my list). Its modes of interaction are restricted, and it's not really a game in the strict sense, but rather a story told interactively. Interpersonal games need to move more towards the story telling if they want to be successful.

I think so, it's certainly more descriptive of what's contained therein.

EDIT: The generic "women" in the current title is certainly more misleading and may be contributing to the penalty being assessed by those who haven't read the piece. The article only discusses one woman.
Holy anthropomorphism Batman!

There are numerous mechanisms to explain how tiny-brained insects could determine suitable shelter that are all much more plausible than "democracy".
Unfortunately, the answer is both.

In LA, I once asked a stranger I'd overheard hiring a car where he was from, because I couldn't place his accent. He thought that was hilarious - he was from Australia (like me), but he'd worked on losing his accent because, in his words: "Americans love Australians... unless you're taking money from them. If you want to do business in America, you should probably lose the accent"
I think what you're looking at isn't "never work [for someone else] again rich" but "never work [at all, and maybe just never leave your bed] again rich". There's enough room to read either into that sentence, but the former is just as real as the latter because most people who do it once will probably try to do it again.

If your position before the liquidity event is "making low six figures per year in salary," 1.6 million dollars will at least give you an ~10 year buffer in which to make it to your next liquidity event with relatively little risk.

And that one's probably the one that lets you stay in bed for the rest of your life, if that's what you really want (but it probably isn't).
It seems Product Hunt is closed to most submitters... how did you post there? Did you score an invite?
I've used Postgres RDS and it was fine. One limitation though is that unlike MySQL RDS, you can't (yet?) configure it for streaming replication. You can tick a checkbox to run a "Multi-AZ" deployment with failover, which I assume uses streaming replication behind-the-scenes, but there is no way to access whatever slave instance AWS is running. So you can't use slave instances for horizontal scaling, only high availability. I haven't looked at Heroku Postgres in a while, so I don't remember whether they offer what AWS doesn't here. It doesn't sound like you're anywhere near the point of scaling to a read-only replica though.
I'll check out Prelude; I have better-defaults installed, but this seems to be much more radical. Just curious, how did you find out about Prelude? I'm a freelancer so I don't have any in-person exposure to model/mentor programmers outside of the web, and I'm thus finding it difficult to even know if I'm using Emacs in a sane way. For example of the type of things I wonder about: do most Emacs users keep the basic keymapping the same (C-n, C-p, C-f, C-b etc.) or do many switch to a non-conflicting but more ergonomic alternative. (The idea that such an important keymapping is decided by the first letter of an action rather than ergonomic sensibility is insane to me.)

It is a valid argument. If an oligarch desires to enslave the rest of human being for its own amusement. And the rest of human beings are willing to trade their precious time of lives with the oligarch by being enslaved.

But I feel if the oligarch overplays the enslavement, everyone can choose to commit suicide and having no pain anymore in their lives. Then the oligarch will have no one to play the game with.

So to keep the system working, the oligarch has to fulfill desires of people.

My main point is the most precious wealth for everyone is the time of their lives. And we all trade our time in lives with other people in either products or services. Progress in technologies has enabled us to enjoy growing purchase power of our time and enable us with more fulfillment of desires. But for the moment the whole economy system somewhat gets stuck and we are having problems to figure out what demand can we create to allow people to trade with. Even an oligarch has to trade wealth for desires.

Sorry, that wasn't what I had meant at all. I meant that if they're used to dealing with people who are constantly working the system, why would they ever go into their job thinking positive thoughts about the people they're dealing with. If she is the exception, she will likely be considered nefarious until proven otherwise, they just don't usually give the chance to actually prove anything, otherwise or not.

+1 this. I've been on a student visa and several work visa's during my time in the USA, on each occasion it was made clear to me when I could and could not travel without risk of not being readmitted. It really feels like this person got into trouble due to something like this. Of course we can't say for sure because she provides no details in her account of what happened.
AE has a pretty powerful javascript-based scripting language that can write exporters like this very easily. I regularly write exporters for passing timing/transform matrices back and forth within our 2D/3D pipeline.

> considering many people call significant others very bad things when they are breaking up,

I've been around the block a few times and had a few past relationships go sour; but I've never felt the need to call an ex-lover a slut or suggest that she was a whore for sleeping with someone other than me. If someone does that, I'm going to judge them; and not in a good light.
This is very interesting. Reminds me of what I saw in Chrome Secure Shell source code while hacking a while back on a vt100 emulator in JS.

ls -l ~ was always the best test to see how scrolling would behave and how fast was the rendering...

What they say here and what I realized then is that the most important part is about rendering only what is visible on the screen!
That is not what I said at all....

If someone harms me I'm obviously going to press charges. The issue is whether those charges should actually have legal basis.
for individuals, that's being passive-agressive.
With Postgres RDS is there any extra maintenance required (vs Heroku Postgres)? Or any other limitations besides accessing slave instances?
How are apps made?
Actually, the DJs kinda do need a license. The venues they perform at often have a BMI or ASCAP license so they don't have to.

But I was DJing at a place that didn't have one. Employer got sued and had to pay up.

1976 copyright act says "no public performance." This is actually what they cited in the Aereo case too.
I've been working in the motion design industry (vfx/animation for broadcast and commercials) for 12 years.

I'm excited by the convergence of our industries. The existing talent in the motion industry will need some guidance - right now motion graphics often revolve around "concepts powered by wizz-bang-wow!", and will need to become much more intention-driven to have successful user experiences.

More and more motion companies are branching out in some form or another to the "digital" world - apps, digital content (pre-rolls, short-form video ads), etc. I think companies that can "realize" the priority of user interaction and implement that in their offerings will be in a great position as companies like apple/google/facebook look for their help.
I love that when I read the changelogs for Rust releases, most changes are "Feature X has been removed from the language". These guys are serious about avoiding featuritis.

So many downvotes, and yet, I never said I was in favor of the practice. It's just the way the laws work. You can work to get them changed or you can ignore them, but if you ignore them, don't cry on the Internet that you got your stuff taken down.
"SJW" is as useful a conversational marker as "feminazi" for revealing shitty opinions on the part of the user.
A lot of people are treating this like a genie wish, or an unreflective prize awarded to the first team to accomplish this by any means, or something...

This is a request for startups with a particular feature. Funding them still needs to seem like a sufficiently good idea. Somehow, I don't imagine Sam leaping to fund slave labor(!), or even less-obviously-absurd things that only technically meet the requirement while not actually doing so in a meaningful way or having any chance at a profit.
So if I send a letter to the wrong person I should be able to sue the postal service to remove the letter from the recipients mailbox?
Does Google want to do a good job of assessing requests?

I think it highly unlikely that the court would want this article suppressed. I think Google may be taking things down over enthusiastically to bring the law and the ruling into disrepute. They are betting that the law rather than their particular takedown process will be blamed.
Very True. I'm pretty sure that quote wasn't meant to be a critique of the Groovy language, just an expression of interest in Scala. Yet its brought out every time somebody wants to dismiss Groovy.

Compare that quote to this[1] presentation where Paul Phillips lays in to scala for 50 minutes. Even when somebody does criticize their own creation I doubt they mean "Hey everybody, that thing I spent a bunch of time on? Throw it all in the garbage, its pointless".

I understand that's how culture works. But I'm talking about the fact that because of Disney, this is now how it works, and it should not be surprising that this is happening.

What if the person who they had accidentally sent the e-mail to hadn't been a Gmail user but had instead downloaded the message to Outlook on their home PC. Would GS think they could get a court order to search that person's home to retrieve all copies of the message that they might have on their hard drive and backups?

For that matter, how do they know that the Gmail user hasn't already downloaded a copy of the message and sent it to somebody? (Most probably, they just deleted it, since it was worthless to them.)
