AFAIK Boston Dynamics was a decently small company that produces cool military tech. (Now bought by Google).

Also, there was a small company that had a show on the Discovery Channel for ~2 seasons called Howe & Howe Tech that produced a cool lightweight continuous track vehicle.
Yes. I'm aware the parent comment wants to try to ignore reality and pretend you can nuke the publicly posted information on the internet in the event of a fascist government.

That isn't how the internet or public communication works. The Nazis were able to identify the people they sent to concentration camps because of past associations, even once it became clear what they were doing because people don't live in a vacuum.

By the same token, you aren't going to be able to nuke all your facebook posts, twitter posts, etc. that might obviously flag you as gay "magically" whenever a fascist type government comes to power. The evidence is already there and completely out of your control.

If bad people come to power you are screwed regardless of what the NSA is currently doing. At worst, this shaves a few months off the process.

The most hilarious part of this is, all of you arguing with me about this in a public forum. Do you think you can magically go back and delete all these posts if some truly evil people came to power?

Nope.

I'm amused by the downvotes and arguments because:

1) You've publicly provided information that isn't going to go away already to show which camp you'd end up in if the people arguing with me are right. This information isn't vanishing simply because its posted publicly on the internet. It isn't going to magical become invisible in the future.

2) I've said I agree with the basic premise in my parent comment and basically said it was people who were vulnerable/edge cases that are getting screwed. That is still going to the base regardless of what happens because you only need control of 51% of the electorate to remain in power. The US electorate has shown, consistently, it will believe lies.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/09...
"For now, there appears to be little political reason to back down. A Washington Post-ABC News poll taken Sept. 5 to Sept. 7 found that 51 percent of voters think Obama would raise their taxes, even though his plan would actually cut taxes for the overwhelming majority of Americans. Obama has proposed eliminating income taxes on seniors making less than $50,000 a year, but 41 percent of those seniors say their income taxes would go up in an Obama administration."

The ability to fabricate falsehoods and get 51% of people to believe it is a far, far greater threat than the NSA. The fact none of you seem to notice this or even care worries me more than the NSA does. If I can get 51% of people to believe any lie I tell them, I can rule any democracy in the world.
I bet most people either (a) don't remember the unholy combination of XML and a resume (b) or wish they could.
That is about getting faster, not more secure. Right?

I mean, I get that it is kind of nice to be able to verify that multiple sets of folks can build the same thing and compare results. I'm curious if there are any theoretical thoughts on how much this helps. For instance, it does not guarantee that there are not malicious changes in the codebase. Which is far more likely to be a problem, I would think.

To that end, the entire browser war is ultimately counter security. As the vendors add more and more features, there are more and more places for malicious changes to hide. Not just in "mistakes," but in features that could be potentially misused. I feel that "deterministic builds" doesn't stem this that much. I'd love to be shown how/why I'm wrong.
Does Meteor deliver?
You might have more luck with Atom [1], though I personally use the browser tools for debugging and Sublime (currently) for editing.

For many developers these days, there's generally post-processing, from using coffeescript or jade or sass--and as far as I know, there's no "has-everything" solution out of the box that handles things for you.

You likely will already switch between editor and browser regularly--use the tools the browsers give you.

I don't think a tool like dreamweaver will serve you well these days either.

When looking at the article on BI, I feel the annotations take away from the flow of the article, rather than adding to it. I find myself constantly re-reading entire paragraphs to get back to the story.
Has Apple sued yet?
Yeah, that was great! I'd almost forgotten about all the inside jokes and easter eggs. Also interestingly, I tried to edit my stats and Lord British appeared killed my party for pirating the game.

Good times.
Clearly there's a glitch in the matrix.
You are right, the annotations on that are quite good.
Ultima IV and Ultima VII: The Black Gate are widely regarded as the high points of the series. The Runes of Virtue games are mostly forgotten afterthoughts, but they're supposed to be decent games for what they are (action-adventure games). They're not representative of the mainline series, however.
Clojure people like EDN instead of JSON. :) When I hire contractors, I ask for an EDN formatted resume, submitted via curl to a quick web app. I validate it on the server side. People enjoyed it (at least the ones who succeeded).

One area that it probably won't expand to, but I would see value in such a service, is an annotation system on legal texts -- statutes, case law, law review articles, et al.

When I was last able to use WestlawNext (almost two years ago), I think it supported personal annotations. Distributed annotations, though, might help me understand the differences in Hong Kong's definition of personal data in Cap 486 versus other definitions in other legal documents.

And it could provide some humor when reading the Alabama state constitution.
> I had a really brief relationship with this girl in college; her dorm room was next to mine, and after a few evenings staying up talking all night, we made out. We spent a few nights in each others’ rooms, but we never had sex and neither of us pressured the other into doing anything we weren’t comfortable with. After a few nights, I broke things off in the cowardly way that 19-year-old guys do, and I just stopped returning her calls and texts.

I'm a bit confused by this part. I thought that the ignore calls and texts method of breakup only worked when those were essentially the only forms of communication you had with the person when not on a date. That method then works because with no more communication, they can no longer arrange dates.

How do you make that method work when the other person is in the next room?
AWS definitely dogfoods, to the point where people have to be careful internally to not create circular dependencies (this nearly happened to me once).

I think there's a notion of persistence in AWS' leadership that propagates through the teams. AWS is willing to fight through the early painful years for products to see them arrive at the stage that EC2/S3 have attained.
No, no, these things tend to happen when your planet is located in a Plural sector (In our case, plural Z). Possibly one of the girls was pulled in from a different timeline when the earth reasserted itself after the vogon demolition. Or, quite possibly, the golden balloon was a remanifestation of the golden bucket, also known as the heart of gold, which is the center of the infinite improbability drive, and everyone knows that the field it generates has far reaching but relatively minor consequences on the lives it touches.
That also relates to the why the police is generally enforcing whatever a government wants, while the military always sides with the people when things go really wrong.
I had not visited for a long time, so I took a look. It does seem like the quality has improved for well-traveled song pages.

Nostalgia trigger warning: Classic PC games

Seriously, there should be a warning--I just lost a few working hours. I don't think I've ever seen so much well-written, well-researched content about classic PC gaming and interactive fiction on a single site. Bravo!
Their first domain was RapExegesis.com which has to be one of the worst all time domain names.
If you think two loops is not a "simple case" of a list comprehension as Google suggests to use them for, perhaps you shouldn't be doing code reviews. It sounds like your team would be held down by your weak grasp of the language.

That is certainly not our intent either (and I'm certainly not charging for this page). What we change people for is the ability to upload content (we can do that, just not done in this case), group the content (uploaded and elsewhere), and distribute (link a web page or send email). All the videos are still hosted from their original location (vimeo and youtube in this base).

If you want me to remove something, email me at chrisb(AT)unitymg.com and I'll get rid of them.
Hm, interesting! I think this might be a function of the annotation size—we try to keep single annotations short to maximize readability, but the author of the article seems to be breaking this rule, and having 3 page+ annotations definitely ends up detracting from the original text. (The one that stands out to me is the one that explains the background of the founders, and then just keeps going... And going... And going...) Its important to remember that this was probably the BI author's first time using the platform though, and I found the annotations from Tom, Ilan and Marc much more readable and concise.
As I said, gender is not the most important factor overall, their family status is. So if you slice only along gender lines, you will see a gap that is meaningless, because you are comparing apples and oranges.

Here's an article that cites several different studies. Granted, I cited the higher end, it could be lower, by all means make up your own mind. They also add the caveat here that it only applies to metropolitan areas, but this is the vast majority of the population nowadays.

>... in 147 out of 150 of the biggest cities in the U.S., the median full-time salaries of young women are 8% higher than those of the guys in their peer group. In two cities, Atlanta and Memphis, those women are making about 20% more. This squares with earlier research from Queens College, New York, that had suggested that this was happening in major metropolises. But the new study suggests that the gap is bigger than previously thought, with young women in New York City, Los Angeles and San Diego making 17%, 12% and 15% more than their male peers, respectively. And it also holds true even in reasonably small areas like the Raleigh-Durham region and Charlotte in North Carolina (both 14% more), and Jacksonville, Fla. (6%).

> As for the somewhat depressing caveat that the findings held true only for women who were childless and single: it's not their marital status that puts the squeeze on their income. Rather, highly educated women tend to marry and have children later. Thus the women who earn the most in their 20s are usually single and childless.

Once again: women and men who want families make different choices.
A few months ago, I started tracking everything about myself
Totally not surprised:

Back from ~2001-2004 when I was working on designing the Lucas Arts Letterman Digital Arts center in the Presidio, there was a certain CIO who wanted us to plan to build a studio in Asia. The reason was that "Asain animators are very cheap, and they aren't primadonna's like the overpaid ones here in the states."

They saw animators as commodity COGs.
This is very technical, most likely way past what 99% of developers both need to care about and have to care about.

Given that most developers work at best with embarrassingly parallel problems they wouldn't need to know much of these details.

But if you're up for it: It's a very rewarding feeling when you're both allowed to figure these things out and someone are also paying you while you figure it out.
I should have been clearer on one point: I'm selling the ability to construct a catalog, I'm not selling a catalog other people's material.

I wrote my own thin API[0] for livejournal and a page scraper[1] to manage crossposting to livejournal and profiling links (like facebook) without wordpress or third party services, so I definitely get the 'IndieWeb' ethos. I like the idea of having your own site and broadcasting to social media rather than the other way around. Writing your own code and being able to do things yourself is very liberating. It just seems weird to me to think of owning your own content on the web as a progressive, pseudo-revolutionary movement because it seems like only yesterday that's just the way things were.

The guys at h2o.ai have been parallelizing machine learning algos for their open source project. I guess their major insight is to ship around different steps of the algo to different nodes rather than ship around data. And they avoid the sort step in hadoop too.

That was only half serious - I know that are valid use cases for people to prefer using binary distros. However I think this particular issue is a good example why IMO even binary distros need to provide a convenient option to locally build any package for security conscious users.
How to change CSS font color based on color of background
Guns (and crossbows), capitalism, sailboats and printing presses all did the same thing. Democratized personal power and autonomy. I'd say the printing press did more to defeat tyranny than the gun.

We should be worried about the "right to keep and bear technology". Its in the same group of things. If this gets locked away by multinationals and "rights management" schemes, we're in trouble. Drones or not.
The 2nd was initially more to assure the states the means to protect themselves against encroachment by the central government (and thereby dissuade such encroachment), a concern that was within vivid living memory for the framers, and was of particular concern to skeptics of the centralization that the Constitution represented compared to the Articles of Confederation.

Like all of the Bill of Rights, it was about constraining the Federal government, not the Podunksville Police.
Yes. It's not the first time HN discusses the topic, though. And given that you're here for 5+ years, I'm sure you have noticed that certain topics tend to trend a certain way on HN, no matter who the actual commenters are.

That's what I meant by "in the aggregate". Any given commenter might come down wherever they feel like that day - few people here are so stubborn that they never change their mind - but the trend is there.

But that was not the point of my post, and I'm sure you're aware of that too.

I agree with your first part: People that lie to damage your reputation should absolutely have to deal with consequences.

The second part though... What? If she's not lying, then that means he actually raped her and he should have to deal with those consequences—he should be prosecuted for rape!

Your last statement makes it sounds like you're trying to let him off the hook if he indeed raped her, which is why I think you are getting downvotes.

It just goes to show that even the best of us can succumb to greed.
I prefer black. White is harsh to me. I use an extension to turn white backgrounds grey in my browser.
I think the referenced bit on PandoDaily [1] has a bit more meat and seeing exactly what was said really drives home the point.

From Ed Catmull's email to Steve Jobs:

"...one of our department managers told me that she was offered a position as producer for Sony’s first CG film and is likely to accept.

"The director of the movie is REDACTED [Jill Culton, ex-Lucasfilm and on Pixar-produced Monsters Inc—M.A.] who started off as head of story on Monsters but burnt out. She is good but fragile."

REDACTED will talk with her [the Pixar manager that Sony was poaching]. She isn’t so great that we have to keep her, and she isn’t so bad that she would hurt Sony.

Where wage-fixing is very general and hard to quantify this is quite personal and tangible. He's directly looking to derail someone's career by preventing them from seizing an opportunity he's not willing to give them. At the same time he craps on someone who even he can't deny was a founding part of what was at that point their biggest hit.

It's a grown man treating people and careers the way a toddler does toys.

This was one of the first games I ever played on my brand new Packard Bell XT, with its tiny orange monochrome monitor running SIMCGA to simulate a 320x200 4-color CGA screen.

It was a cracked copy, and so I didn't have a cloth map. Instead, I would use the in-game map "gems" to show a tiny part of the map, sail a little bit further, use it again, and so forth, all the time drawing a complete map of the world in pencil.

I also didn't have a manual, and so I didn't know how to mix reagents to make spells. In one town I had to get past a magical barrier and didn't know how to make the "dispell" spell. I ended up writing a poor man's map editor in QuickBasic, finding the hex code that corresponded to the wall, then using a hex editor to zap that section out of existence. I figured that was some pretty powerful magic right there.

While in the hex editor I found a strange bunch of text, including the words "Note: you can't win!" and "Yvonne Yu has big balls!" The latter was in the world map and manifested itself as a giant structure in the southeast ocean consisting of dozens of writhing characters floating in the sea.

I took painstaking notes, writing down every possible hint I received from every person in every city. It took months. I became somewhat obsessed with the game, thinking about it during all hours.

At one point I realized I wanted to equip all my party members with magic bows. I did this by going to the bridge just to the east of Castle Brittania and walking over and over until trolls appeared. Shoot, get treasure, walk back to Britain and sell, rinse and repeat. Over and over. I did get those bows though.

Eventually I made it to the depths of the Stygian Abyss and faced the final question. That's when the game bugged out and would say nothing more than "It looks like you could use a good horse!" repeatedly. I figured this was Yvonne Yu's handiwork. Damn you, Yvonne Yu, wherever you are!

A few years later I saved up enough to buy the Ultima 1-6 collection, which included all the games on a single CD with manuals and many of the cloth maps, and a single token (the metal coin with the virtues symbol on it from Ultima V). Disappointed that it wasn't the ankh, I went and bought an ankh on a chain from a street vendor and wore it a couple of times before it started feeling a bit weird.

Anyway, I went back, using my handwritten notes, and finished Ultima IV completely, getting the end scene noted in the article.

Ultima IV was my favorite game for a long time. Even then I knew there was something special about it.
Love the idea, but it breaks a fundamental rule of design by not allowing my eyes to scan down a list.
