"A senior Israel Defense Forces officer said Wednesday that the number of rockets to hit Israel can be expected to rise."

In other words, Israel is not planning to de-escalate their illegal occupation - in fact it sounds likely they're planning to invade the gaza strip, which they have been bombing quite actively in recent days and hours.

Never forget the classic sales aphorism to "sell the sizzle, not the steak". Applied to pencils, that would be "sell the sharpening, not the pencil", and can be seen in practice here: http://www.artisanalpencilsharpening.com
Both my TV and my HTC One have Miracast support so i had this working a couple of months ago, making the connection is very unreliable though, so i hope the Chromecast can improve this.

A general thing is that as more and more devices become "smart" in terms of features and protocols etc, it becomes more and more apparent to me how bad the software is on many of these devices. My TV and my router are just some recent examples of buggy firmwares on top of very good hardware. The router supports lots of features like DLNA and VPN which can hardly be called stable and the interface and usability is really dated. Hardware and performance (Netgear R7000 Gigabit Wifi Router) is pretty awesome though.

I see a trend here. Not about taxi drivers, but rather about Mode Analytics posting blog articles drawing conclusions without having enough data to back them up. The last post about VC investments and ageism did the same thing:https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7997236
rockets are not missiles, fyi. less than one percent of one percent of one percent of all rockets fired into israel ever result in casualties, while at least 15 children have been killed in palestine in the past couple of days by F-16 strikes.

barbara walters, of course, showed footage of carnage in palestine under the supposition that it was in israel.

I've found "if x" to be much less readable, especially when I'm looking at code written in a language I'm not familiar with. When I'm reading such code, I want to be 100% what something is doing, and not have to read documentation when avoidable.
The problem with fighting a war based in religion and hate, on both sides, is that any rational person would stop firing rockets with odds like that.
Interesting, the BBC reports different stats:

"The military said its Iron Dome missile defence system had intercepted 21 of the 82 rockets fired on Wednesday, including three above Tel Aviv, three over Ashkelon and three over Ashdod."

source: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-28240137
So apparently it's OK to fire rockets as long as they rarely kill someone.
'Everything Is Energy': How Time Lords See the World
To be fair, their activities comply with Israel law.
You could say that interpreting is first parsing and second executing/evaluating. The parser tokenizes and does a small amount of optimization such as ignoring unassigned values.
You still haven't said whether you are responding to the book or this review of the book. This review is, as several people have said, lousy. It's pointless for us to discuss this review because I disagree with the review. I do agree with a lot of the book.

When Goldacre talks about placebo he tends to talk about the pricing differences between differently packaged but identical medication. Thus, a brand name paracetamol is the same as an own-brand paracetamol and they're the same as a budget paracetamol. Yet one can be five or six times more expensive than the other. (Personally I don't see this as particularly bad behaviour.) I agree that he tends to place too much emphasis on placebo, but then I haven't read the studies. There are strong psychological aspects to pain; pain in cancer patients can be helped with cognitive behaviour therapy; some people (40% in one (not very good) report) with long term pain reported relief when they took a placebo.

But also look at coproxamol. This is an old med. we used to think that mixing meds meant you could use smaller quanties of active ingredients. Coproxamol is a sub-therapeutic dose of paracetamol and a dangerous toxic opiod (opiate?) dextropropoxyphene. (Paracetamol in acute overdose is very dangerous so for the dextropropoxyphene to be the more worrying ingredient tells us something). We've known since at least the 1980s that this med is not particularly effective and is very risky, yet it has only just been withdrawn from general use in the UK. We knew that it was less effective than paracetamol alone (because you'd take that at an effective dose) but that it was far more dangerous and that evidence got stronger through the 1990s and 2000s. (An overdose of paracetamol is treatable if caught in time, although paracetamol overdose does kill many people each year. An overdose of coproxamol is usually fatal before help arrives. For a time coproxamol was the leading medication in fatal overdoses.) Removal of this med was fiercely fought for years by pharmaceutical companies and by patient advocacy groups (sometimes funded by those same companies).

That is sleazy behaviour.
How you managed to grab a sentence from the article about the IDF's assessment that there will likely be more rockets fired on Israel from Gaza and turn that into flagrant incendiary baffles me.

"Dogs are cute."

In other words, roses are red.
Iron Dome works by calculating the trajectory of incoming rockets and leaving them alone if they're going to hit an unpopulated area, so that doesn't necessarily contradict the given statistic.
Until shown otherwise, I am partial to the idea that this is just a difference between PG on Ubuntu vs PG on CentOS. It's possible docker is simply a red herring, and that there are too many confounding variables for any of these benchmarks to be meaningful. I would be interested to see more rigorous benchmarks of virtualized environments though.
They only engage rockets that may land in populated areas.

People don't understand process isolation. Docker manages complexity but it is still just smoke and mirrors (processes and namespaces).
The Iron Dome is a really amazing system, I was volunteering in the Israeli Army last year and this system was one you really had the feeling is changing the life for the better for people living in the affected areas. Even if they were not standing behind Israel politically they were still very grateful that this system is in place. The problem I see is that it's very expensive to run (I remember something about 50k/rocket, could be wrong though) while the rockets they are shooting down are very cheap to manufacture. They also send a minimum of 2 rockets for every incoming rocket to be on the safe side if I remember correctly.

But that's different, it will effectively send the URL of video to the Chromecast, which will directly get the compressed stream.

Screen casting with Youtube is a good benchmark of screen casting. Of course, for daily use you'd want to cast from the app directly.
Why did Quora choose Python for its development
An MIT professor on NPR radio earlier this evening reported that the Iron Dome missile defense systems has achieved a less than 5% success rate. Him or the article must be wrong, but who?
I'd argue that the key difference from other languages is (re)assignment rather than (im)mutability.
What's your understanding of the inventory process? To me it's all about finding the underlying causes, and the behavioral and mental habits that underlie the addiction, and working on correcting them.
If you're sending logs out to the host's syslog, then the log creator is your syslog daemon.

Also, processes in containers exist as processes on the host (they have different PIDs inside and outside of the container due to PID namespacing); so logrotate should be able to send signals to containerized processes.

Google Glass hack allows brainwave control
But the reason we know whether a medication works or not is by well conducted trials, not by giving it to a few people and asking how they feel.

It is exactly this kind of thinking that pharmaceutical companies are exploiting when they hide results from trials.
The reason for the discrepancy is that Iron Dome was only activated for 27% of rockets fired. When it was activated, it was 90% accurate. Based on some the Wikipedia article is looks like they don't bother trying to intercept rockets that wouldn't land in populated areas. I don't know if that's for cost reasons or because targeting every rocket wouldn't be technically feasible or would degrade their capability or what.
[1] says that support for other devices is coming soon. Given that Motorola is at the moment still Google, runs nearly vanilla Android, and is usually quick to get new features, I wouldn't be surprised if at least the Moto G and X get this soon as well.

The Moto E is really a low-end device, with a relatively weak CPU, so I wouldn't expect too much at all. Of course, having a Chromecast is still great for apps that support Chromecast.

If a rocket were to land in Tel Aviv and damage a building, it would probably cause more than $50,000 in damages. Damages to include are property damage, PTSD of the local population, schools closing, and offices closing.
>[Iron Dome] has been activated to intercept about 27 percent of the approximately 180 rockets fired between Monday night and midday Wednesday.

Measure what you manage. The system's success rate for attempted targets is a valid measure. But it is also a dangerous one on which to solely rely. A devious commander, seeking only to maximize this metric, would limit Iron Dome interceptions to only those strikes which he is supremely confident it can successfully intercept.

May I suggest a complimentary statistic of people injured, and property damaged, per missile fired from Palestinian territory regardless of whether Iron Dome engages or not. This measures, in the long run, both (a) how effective Iron Dome is when it engages and (b) how good Iron Dome is at deciding whether or not to engage. B is missing today. I think it is a crucial component to manage.

I released a number of successfully apps on the App Store a few years back. Some of my apps were featured by Apple. My apps made me a boatload of cash ($500k+) back in the App Store gold rush days.

I have not had the time to update any of my apps but I'm still passively making around $60 a day between 13 apps on two app accounts. All of my apps are paid (no in-app purchases / no ads).

My apps are mostly educational.

$60 a day of passive income on products I haven't touched in over two years even surprises me.

I plan on getting back into the app game next month. I'm setting aside time to update all of my apps and do some marketing.
Xkcd comics which can illustrate programming questions
I am still looking for this magical "rational person." I have already found spherical ones and integrated their surface area and volumes.
I can see why you might think so, but remember the Zen of Python is to have only one obvious way to do something.

>>> [1,2,3] + [4,5]
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Thus appending should do something different than addition.

>>> x = [1,2,3]
>>> x.append([4,5])
>>> x
[1, 2, 3, [4, 5]]

Au contraire, Tanenbaum was 100% right. And porting linux to the first new architectures turned up a ton of hard-to-fix dependencies on x86, fortunately the UNIX system call interfaces were all copied from more mature instances and lived on unaffected.

Thank you very much Andrew, I won't ever forget our talks at your house in Buitenveldert/Amstelveen they came at a very important point in my life and made a positive and lasting impact. You were amazingly accessible even to 'outsiders'. I regret never to have been able to study at the VU, I'd have happily done so. One thing you did is to instill a life-long habit of looking at the world as an asynchronous hard real time affair and to appreciate micro-kernels as a very elegant solution to a lot of problems.
Hyperconvergence is a lazy ideal
Well the one-liner form I probably have overseen. It's a lot better than the other variations but I do think that the fibonacci example does show Haskell in a much more understandable way than the allRationals one-liner.

But maybe that's a bit me: I don't particularly like one-liners because as an outsider it takes usually a bit more time to understand it than more lines..
When you use + on two lists, a new list is created, and elements from both are copied into the new one. Whereas the append operation modifies the list, and simply adds a value. Keep in mind that a python "list" is really like a C++ vector, so while sometimes append operation sometimes allocates a new array, and copies all the values, in general is O(1). The add operation is O(n).

And besides all that, there is nothing wrong with doing an append on one line, and returning the variable on the next. It's clear and readable.
Video streaming, but the Chromecast can do that perfectly fine as well. Screen streaming of video is terribly laggy and has an ugly quality, at least on our home network (with an Airport extreme).
So why does Python distinguish between a list and a tuple at all?
Yes. It was for glasses of wine because at the time public health practitioners in England were worried about people having glasses of wine at work and in the evening.

Extending both axises would be useful.

>In other words, Israel is not planning to de-escalate their illegal occupation

This is a complex issue involving diverse viewpoints. One may find it enriching to consider the differing views and values that go into such a misunderstanding. I've learned a lot about myself and human nature by contemplating and modelling geopolitics.

Referring to the situation as an "illegal occupation" is harsh. And ambiguous. This is an international conflict; there are no laws which gain automatic primacy.

Further, your conclusion - as stated - appears tenuous. A military spokesperson pointing at rising attacks could signify many things. Domestic support could be waning. Or the enthusiasm of an offshore balancer. It could also signify increased militarism in Gaza, independent of IDF activity. Granted, it could also mean preparations for IDF escalation. But you need to produce more concrete evidence, not vitriol, to back up that hypothesis.
I think this works better for me:

It is better for me because, now that I've visited the URL, if I start typing 'hangout' in the address bar, this comes up first for me and I just hit enter (and it's easy to remember). It's the little things.

Maciej's post "Don't be a free user" [https://blog.pinboard.in/2011/12/don_t_be_a_free_user/] is still one of my favourites. The whole concept of doing something that is "just big enough" in ways of financial success and scaling is so liberating. You will end up doing something sustainable instead of constantly worrying about the outcome of your "startup" adventure. I even adopted the one-time payment business model for my own service [crofflr.com] which is so refreshingly anti-business, you will meet users that activley complain that they can't pay you more. And after meeting Maciej in real life (hope to see you again here in Berlin) and learning how much he cares about Pinboard and it's users, I'm totally convinced that this is the right way to do business and that it's okay to ignore all the flashy Yo, Snapchat and Pinterest crap out there. I really like the idea of Mom&Pop businesses on the internet.
What is much more interesting here is G.Fast, the technology it is based on.

G.Fast, is suppose to be a FTTdp, where fibre goes all the way to your building and replacing the central copper wiring box with its DSLAM. In countries where you have many flats within a building, it is likely the copper wiring to home socket are all within 100M range.

I am not sure this applies to every scenario in every countries. But the concern of Copper quality is mainly a problem with copper outside of the building. Copper within the building are in much better shape and form.

G.Fast also allow operator to config the upload and download speed. Hopefully that means at least 100Mbps of upload speed in the age of cloud computing.

I cant wait to see this deploy. No longer would teleco needs permission and planning to work around every home and every building to get high speed internet.

Huawei and Alcatel-Lucent are the fore front in G.Fast technology.
Yes, money well spent. It's important to be well armed when you're living on someone else's land.

QNX is huge. If you took QNX out of the world it would stop to function just about immediately. So much stuff runs on it that you typically wouldn't even guess. In that sense it is just like other soft real time/hard real time OS's one of the unsung success stories of IT simply because it works so well it tends to disappear.

Most things that use QNX or other OS's like that inside simply work rather than that they require constant upgrades and bug fixes. Reliability by design is so much better than reliability by trial and error, and the OS is a huge factor in that. It's a world where bugs are felt as 'egg on your face' rather than a 'wontfix'.
I was an intern on the Google Health team and witnessed many problems unrelated to external barriers.

1) The original codebase was a nightmarish mess of Java/GWT code that did very little (my first real-life encounter with a FactoryFactory). Most of the developers from this first version drifted away from the project and by the time I arrived there was a second team who were talented, but, unfortunately spent much of their time slowly refactoring other people's crappy code.

2) I didn't observe very much clear product vision. Instead, we had a paranoid obsession with matching the features of Microsoft Health Vault (which was equally meandering & useless).

3) There was a huge top-down pressure from Marissa M and other high level managers to make Google Health into something astoundingly successful, suffocating any possibility of incremental progress and disempowering the actual developers.

4) We had one MD on staff and very little other experience with medicine or healthcare. The developers were very far from the problem domain and relying on a game of managerial telephone to ascertain what the current state of medical record management is and what improvements are possible.

Anyway, in short, my experience was that Google screwed up.
And air strikes in Gaza have killed more than a dozen children this past week alone. What's your point? That you value bus shelters more than human life?
hey thanks for that comment - could you talk about it in a slight more detail.

I have rsyslog on the host and I'm sending logs to host syslog through bind mounting of /dev/log . Is this what you meant by sending out logs to host ? I'm having a lot of trouble figuring out how to do it any other way.

Could you also confirm that rsyslog on host will be able to send appropriate signals to the container's syslog ... which forwards it to the containerized process ? I'm unable to find documentation in rsyslog (or syslog-ng) that talks about this behavior so I'm not sure.
There is an ongoing cold & hot war between Hamas and Israel. Israel maintains checkpoints in the West Bank, and continues to build settlements, while leaving Gaza alone. Hamas undermines West Bank peace by murdering Fatah members, and not negotiating with Israel, claiming they want to ultimately fight all Jews in the world. Furthermore, Mahmoud Abbas in the West Bank joined Hamas in a unity government.

I think you are mistaken about who started the current fighting. In short, among the backdrop of relative calm: 3 Israelis youths were murdered, Israel searched the West Bank, and arrested numerous Hamas individuals, among other suspects. An Arab boy was murdered, Israel arrested numerous Israeli suspects. Hamas begins firing rockets from Gaza. Then Israel began responding with air attacks in Gaza.
We have always been using AShot successfully till now, though the name is misleading, it basically streams the Android screen to your laptop, try it http://sourceforge.net/projects/ashot/
It's utterly unambiguous. Familiar with the Stern gang?

More attacks would be a result of Israeli air strikes and Netanyahu egging on a ground offensive.

I'm sorry that you've been brainwashed, but you're the warmongers here, not the oppressed Palestinians.
I'd try to test smaller chunks of code for validity. If any block of code is longer than 12 lines, I get nervous that I don't understand what it's doing. Refactor your code into functions as you confirm the code behaves as expected in the interpreter.

It's very difficult to write automated tests when all logic is in outer scope rather than chunked into functions.
no. because with "really small" governments you still get "really big" companies. The term "deregulation" really epitomizes this - the idea that there should be fewer laws restricting companies from harming others and that the magical free hand of the market will miraculously prevent malfeasance and malevolent profiteering in some ayn rand utopia. what a lovely fantasy.

The process I've seen called "decivilizing" - the willful dismantling of the post-industrial societal state back to some goal that is effectively an 18th century corporate oligarchy.

The problem is that then you get companies which effect as governments - it's no mistake that the US flag is a spinoff of the maritime flag of the East India Trading corporation - it was effectively a de facto governing body - above the state.

The corporate becomes the state when the state is weak. They are poised to fill such a power vacuum and it happens immediately.

It's so clear.
