Strange, but coming from an European background while taking in a lot of American culture, I was (pleasantly, I guess) surprised that the discrepancy between white and black males wasn't larger. I am more or less shocked about he percentages overall, but really thought the gap was much larger.

Sorry if this doesn't add anything substantial, but I honestly would have have guessed that it was about 3 times more black males getting arrested than white males. I need to broaden where I get my US-information from obviously.
Kickstarters wants the backers to think it's a store, because the reality isn't very attractive. "It's like a store where you preorder, except 10% of the time we just throw your preorder away and you get nothing but we still charge you."
They've been trying for the last few years to copy apple's walled garden model when realistically their greatest strength was the fact that they weren't an overly restricted platform.
From what I've seen, low churn businesses tend to have 1 or more of the following characteristics:

1. Network effects: Your product is a key (or highly integrated) part of an industry's value chain.

2. Process lock-in: Your product is a key (or highly integrated) part of your customer's work flow/process.

3. High ROI and/or Low Cost of Ownership for the Customer: Use of your product generates compelling economics for the customer.

4. Behavioral lock-in: The network effects are eroding, the work flow is changing, and the ROI is shrinking, but the customer still uses your product out of habit/familiarity/convenience/culture/loyalty/etc.
If I'm reading the figure in the article correctly, 1GWh/month of electricity works out to something like 1.34 MW average load. That much electricity could be supplied by a total of three (1.5MW nameplate) utility-scale wind turbines, at least if you assume the capacity factor (0.3-0.35) seen in the upper midwest.

Put differently, that is about 1/10 of the average electricity consumption of the (midwestern, state) university where I studied.

People, don't kill your facebook account. Do what I did and unfollow everyone. Facebook is a great calendar, party planner, and rolodex. The main problem most people have is the abuse cycle described in the article, but that's really easy to kill if you just nuke your feed by unfollowing everyone. Facebook gets increasingly agitated as you unfollow everyone, and they start popping up surveys asking you why you're doing it. Just what do you think you're doing, Dave?

I guess we had different ideas of kids. This data is based on NLSY97, meaning the subjects were born between 1981 and 1985. [1]

Still, doesn't that contradict your point about these results being based on a substantial difference from when you were a kid? As you point out, this study is based on exactly your cohort. Thus it's not a matter of policies nowadays leading to 40% arrest rates. That figure is based directly on the policies of the 90s.

The water consumption savings certainly could outweigh all other factors. Extended droughts, climate movements, and off-world colonization all would benefit.

A more immediate opportunity would be placing production close to the area of consumption. The developing and developed world will fail to address their problems with diabetes and obesity induced diseases as long as the population has limited access to fresh produce. Being rich in NYC or SF it is easy to take fresh produce for granted, in some major urban areas even if you are rich fresh produce is virtually non-existent.
In either Scrum or Kanban, it's important to separate your development cycles from when you release or deploy cycle.

For example: In Kanban, our developers work in a flow model to get anything and everything they can get done as fast as they can get it done (regardless of when the release is planned). We manage the work by using work in progress limits. However, we have a public releases that are scheduled every two weeks. So on that scheduled release date, we take all the completed tasks lump them into a release. Nothing holds up a release. For high priority feature, we'll do a hot fix. For big announcements, we'll usually schedule it after we've completed most of the work.

Scrum is the same in this regard at most companies. A public release could happen after 1, 2, or 200 sprints. It really just depends on what you're trying to do.

In the Apple AppStore model, Kanban or Scrum should have no impact on how you deploy. You deploy when you're ready. Kanban no Scrum guarantee that it'll happen by a certain date.

An easily overlooked, seemingly forgotten book that is great for newbies is Stuart Shapiro's _Common Lisp: An Interactive Approach_.

The arrest rate is also different from the incarceration rate, which is much more heavily skewed. According to Pew, black men are incarcerated at ~6.5 the rate that white men are, per capita[1].

I think that the original monad papers explain things better than the myriad of short tutorials tutorials around the interwebs. In particular, I like this one from Simon Peyton Jones because it gives some historical perspective:

http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/people/simonpj/papers...

The TLDR: Haskell uses lazy evaluation, meaning expressions are evaluated in an umpredictable order. If expression evaluation had side effects, programs would become unmanageable, so in Haskell, al computations must be pure. Monads are a neat trick where you use a specially crafted abstract (opaque) interface that lets you model side-effecting computations, specifying what order things should run in.

Of course, initially the biggest reason for using monads so prominently is the IO but the monad interface is much more general and an also be used for other things (List, Maybe, etc)
The post had a couple title edits which is fine but the last edit is really diminishing the impact of the whole project: "Show HN: Breach – A new browser UI written in JavaScript"

I appreciate that Breach is not entirely written in JS, but it's as much a browser as Opera is and qualifying it of a "Browser UI" does not convey a realistic image of the project.

Maybe we could edit the title again to something like:
Show HN: Breach - A new modular Browser built on top of Chromium/NodeJS
Capitalism is the free and willing exchange of goods.

Because the state has colluded with certain companies to remove the 'free' from the above statement, the US internet is no longer a capitalistic system.

Your statement about all capitalism eventual collapsing to fascism deserves more evidence. If you could truly prove your point, you'd win a nobel prize.
I unknowingly broke the curfew when I came to US the first time as an exchange student, also at age 16. As it turned out later my host parent has been waiting for me on a back parking lot while I was out on the street corner. Anyway, instead of an arrest I got a free ride home in a police car. I wonder if it has something to do with the skin color or that the area I was in is a low crime neighborhood.
Philadelphia instituted a youth curfew because local highschool kids developed a interest in flash mobs. Not flash mobs where lots of people in a train station start dancing all of a sudden, but rather flash mobs where they all start texting all of their friends that they are going to all meet at 15th and South Street in 10 minutes to riot and loot.

I'll grant that in most cases youth curfews are probably senseless, but in some cases they are used as desperate measures by cities looking to curb random organized violence committed categorically by bored teenagers on hot summer nights.

http://thelede.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/08/10/philadelphia-fig...

I was living in that city while that stuff was going full swing; it was truly insane. When you walked through areas that were frequently targeted and looked down the alleys, you would see that every single alley on the street was filled with cops, some in riot gear, and some on horseback, and paddy wagons. They would just be standing around, waiting for the call for where the flash mob would be that night.
The DSL for string formatting certainly doesn't look simple.

i've been meaning to write something similar about the whole REST craze. REST breaks down pretty rapidly once you get out of the key-value-store paradigm (read: anything involving child objects).

REST lacks the ability to relay full state-change semantics without hackery. As the article pointed out, it forces you to be extra chatty over http, which is far from free over the congested, global network that is the interwebs.

For example, what if a single PUT request creates multiple sub-objects? How does my server reply with multiple location headers? Do i have to first re-get the created object's child locations and re-request each individually?

How about just sending the full object state back as the response to my PUT request? Well, according to REST, the body of the response just needs to be a description of the error or success status. Basically, REST sucks for reducing round trips if you're going to follow it pedantically. The theory is sound, but it needs to be updated to dictate how the server can send back more detailed info in response to POST/PUT/PATCH requests.

Wow, so your claim is that Netflix is maliciously, and intentionally, offering high(er) definition content not to please its customers, but to spite ISPs?

And you're saying that with a straight face...

And wondering why people aren't taking you seriously?

Just like your argument that Netflix is 'pushing content to Verizon consumers', ignoring that 'Verizon consumers are requesting said content'.

Maybe one of the things Netflix could do to deal with the volume of data is let Verizon customers know that that their service is being degraded because of that volume...

Rather than simply downvoting you because I disagree, which is a lazy practice that undermines the purpose of having a comment system, let me address your point. You said:

Willing to pay more means their time is worth more.

No, it may simply mean that money is worth less to them. A common reason for this is having a lot of it, and there are many possible reasons for someone to be wealthy; being socially productive is only one of many. They might have been born with it, they might simply be lucky, or they may be actively dishonest. None of which need any additional incentives.

Here is Kickstarter's language:

Project Creators are required to fulfill all rewards of their successful fundraising campaigns or refund any Backer whose reward they do not or cannot fulfill.

So it talks about the fundraising succeeding, not the project.

But it also says that is one of the terms of the contract created between the project and backer, don't pester Kickstarter about it.

I used to enjoy playing a submarine simulator (688 Attack Sub, IIRC) but it's not that dynamic. Elite was firmly rooted in the Star Wars vision of space combat, which was in turn based on WW2 naval air combat. I remember a bunch of games based on Star Trek but they never became massively popular because they were based much more on strategy than action.

On the upside it's not an atmospheric flight model in Elite. You can orient yourself freely if you're not thrusting, and indeed 'flying backwards' by getting some thrust going and then doing a 180 so you can fire at the enemy with your forward-facing weapons is a pretty essential tactic.
>one of the exit paths is consolidation of enough power/wealth/influence in a handful of individuals or corporations to begin effectively purchasing government actions as desired.

All of this stuff is subjective. I've coded Python for some time, and I've done an entire project in Clojure.

Because I've done more Python working, reading Django's source is much easier for me than most Clojure code (even my own), but that's not to say the same for everyone else.

These are after all languages (even if they are artificial). The human brain is really good at understanding a wide variety of linguistic constructs, the main issue is familiarity and that changes from person to person.
It would be very interesting to see what the price of water would be if it was subject to a market. A tragedy of the commons which isn't immediately visible until gone.

That's more of a property of the client side stack rather than inherent of Javascript itself right? If so, do you believe any language could have been in Javascripts spot today as long as it was supported by Netscape client side, even if it were say C++? Also, that doesn't answer the painfully slow adoption of Compile-to-JS languages which would also be written once and run anywhere.
Because it's a new paradigm, not just a competing virtual-machine implementation.
Design for real time
I am only recently a lisp user but honestly, how is the format function far from:

printf("something %s then %d finally %f!", "asd", 1, 1.2)

As mentioned, there is a loop built into format. Since lisp also has a (list) function eg: (list 'a 'b 'c 1) I still don't see an argument beyond familiarity with the C style printf syntax for why format is bad/unreadable.
I used to hear it frequently when I rubbed elbows with more software guys. Maybe not in exactly those words, but you can tell, when a software guy budgets 1 month to design the hardware and 11 months to "do the majority of the work" (aka write the software)

There are far too many laws in the u.s. and you can never know when you're breaking a law. And enforcement is often arbitrary and based on if the police want to harass/check you, or if they want to pile charges on top of another charge to get you to deal on a plea.

Some countries view laws as a failure of society. You don't pass a law until your society has failed in that way, and instead you use social norms/controls. For example, Switzerland has no minimum wage but has a moral minimum wage of around $50K (except for a few worker types)

The u.s. seems to view laws as a way to mold society into a vision. But you end up with way too many laws that you could never know.
Great analysis, thank you.

Adding to your point about gumming up the metro area routers inside Verizon that may be quite possible. Remember this is Verizon's analysis for a single customer. What are the odds that Verizon, to influence public policy, choose a customer that would best represent Verizon's case. For example, a customer in a region that was just provisioned a bunch of extra capacity. So, it's possible that the percentages at the customer/aggregation/metro area are not typical for Verizon, but rather Verizon's best case scenario.
If you have 650 users (who I'm assuming are paid employees), doesn't the cost become marginal in comparison to improved productivity?

I would guess the time to re-train all 650 on a new platform and the ease of transferring existing files would be more meaningful than the price difference.
