"Excess cash in a business that can not be explained should be just as worrisome"

Really good point. As it happens one day recently I questioned my wife why our personal account had so much money in it.

It turned out that she had transferred her money into it that should have went into another account.

This was after correcting problems where she had payed some personal bills out of our account because the bank bill paying "default" for her was set to our joint account rather than her own account.

So she switched it so default bill payment now = her account. So now I have a different problem. She pays our bills out of her account. Which (in addition to the above mentioned wrong deposit) has created even more havoc.
Write React template in separate file with browserify transform
Whatever happened to physically grabbing someone and violently throwing them out of your house?
I like every aspects of React except the idea to write html with in javascript. Also I want to work with designers and let them write templates which can be used directly. So I write this, my first browserify tramsformer.

Hope this module can also serve your needs.

"Disrupted."
Resource allocations are set by fiat and there are no price signals or "private property" per se (the accounting department doesn't "own" their computers, they're allocated them, and if that department is outsourced they'll be allocated to someone else). Departments don't technically control their own investments; any revenues they bring in are the company's as a whole and redistributed as they see fit.

Seems apt to me; what would you call it?
It's called disrupting the disruptor.

This is just the start of the inevitable slippery slope: the initial censorship doesn't work (and it never can, because information wants to be free), so they broaden, widen, deepen it. Then since it is still trivial to circumvent by technical means they add laws to try and restrict technical circumvention of the censorship. Then as loopholes are found in the laws against circumvention they have to broaden and deepen those. Soon it is illegal just to know things, to tell people basic knowledge of how to do things. And thus the only viable end point is totalitarianism. There's really no in between - if you want "free speech" at all you have to take all of it or none of it.

The whole point of zipper merging is to minimize speed differences between lanes for maximum efficiency and maximum safety.

The proper way to execute a late zipper merge is to match speeds and merge at the end.

You are not correctly zipper merging if you are passing other cars before merging at the end.

It's probably really important that owners don't do this - renters (even terrible renters) have some legal protections and intimidation is a quick way to increase the legal costs and possibly end up in jail.

EDIT: Wait, did you put "nut case" in after I posted? I missed it before. Please would you consider using different insults? The person you're insulting doesn't care less about being called a nut-case, but by using such language you are subtly adding to the stigma faced by people with mental health problems. It's already harder for those people to get jobs or to rent homes, and one of the reasons is that people fear "unpredictable behaviour", and that fear is to some extent caused when we use terms to describe poor mental health to people who are displaying poor behaviour. This is a gentle request and you're free to ignore it.
It's not so much against the spirit of those laws, but an attempt by the EU to apply its laws outside the jurisdiction of the sphere of absurdity that is the EU.

This is not at all about "where the data resides", as you claim, because the EU is not attacking the data where it resides -- it leaves that alone, on their original servers -- but instead where the data is indexed.
My first thought was why not just evacuate it, given that it's a vacuum vessel? It doesn't work though. Making some gross assumptions about its dimensions, its buoyancy when empty would be the weight of a few tons. Not enough to lift itself!

The ISPs would still need to pay for the interconnects b/t the municipal ISP and, say, Level 3. So performance, etc. as well.

The way I envision it working is:

FTTH is the municipal and they hook it up to a single interchange. From there, someone has to pay for the routing to the rest of the internet, etc. Its the FTTH that is screwed up.

Can you clarify what this does? Even after reading the readme it's not clear to me what it does or what the use case is. And the phrase "silence censorship, automate the effect" is confusing since censorship is an attempt to silence others. I am familiar with the Streisand effect, where an attempt to hide information serves to publicize it. Does this library propagate secure, encrypted servers? So if you feel in danger of being censored you can quickly spread your message to other servers? Something more than that?

In some ways, this is the dark side of disrupting established industries: legal protections aren't in place yet; it's not clear what recourse people caught in never before seen corner cases have.

We (e.g. HN folks) are quick to applaud people with new ideas that are shaking things up (e.g. Airbnb, Uber, etc.) I suspect this is the sort of scenario detractors (e.g. Seattle City Council re: Uber) are worried about.

Terrible situation, clearly. Still, important to see some of these scenarios actually play out. And it raises all the right questions: what should Airbnb do going forward? what should legal protections be going forward? should someone have seen this coming? and should they be held liable for it?

If you are offending people, you're likely performing the zipper merge incorrectly.

The point of the zipper merge is maximize efficiency and safety by matching the speeds of the two lanes.

The wrong way to zipper merge is to drive past the other lane and merge at the end.

The correct way to zipper merge is to drive at the speed of the nearby lane and merge at the end.

When you zipper merge correctly, almost no one gets upset.

> so that those in the continuing lane feel morally obligated to let those queued up in.

I'm pretty well convinced that we'd never hit critical mass of drivers that feel morally obligated to even moderately inconvenience themselves to benefit the merging of others. That merge pattern is a recipe for stalled traffic in the right hand lane.

First one seems workable, though.
You cannot violently throw a tenant out of their apartment, because that is a violent crime. You can violently repel an intruder in self-defense, but if you have actually rented an apartment to someone, they are not an intruder. If, after first renting to them, you later believe they should leave—and they disagree—then you have a dispute about the terms and duration of rental. (It might be a really one-sided dispute in which one side is clearly in the right, but it's still a civil dispute.)

If their previously lawful residence has become unlawful (e.g. as a result of a failure to pay rent, becoming a nuisance, exceeding an agreed duration, etc.), in that case you proceed in a peaceful, legal fashion: you first give them formal notice that they are required to vacate the property; and if they fail to do so, you get a court order instructing the police or sheriff to remove them. The precise series of steps, and how many days they have to respond, varies by country and state/province (and may also depend on length of occupancy, usually shorter-term tenants being given fewer protections). You cannot yourself adjudicate and enforce the dispute, because vigilante justice is disfavored in most civilized countries. If, say, a client failed to pay your contracting bill for a job they owe you money for, you cannot walk into their cafeteria with a baseball bat, threaten the cashier, and seize the money that is legitimately yours. Instead you have to sue them in court, get a judgment, and then have the judgment enforced. There are ways you are allowed to enforce your legitimate claim, and ways that are... not allowed.
There's legal and then there's moral. These scumbags lack basic human tact. I wouldn't ever think of doing something like this to somebody even if I were in the legal side of the law. I hope they get what's coming to them in spades.

Airbnb should do everything in their power to help out this poor owner or it will set a dangerous precedent for future hosts.
As you complete each "stage" it brings you back to the map and the user then has to take an undirected action. Honestly what was going through my head each time was "should I continue or close the window" rather than automatically going to the next window and continuing. Check your logs to see where users are abandoning your funnel. If it is between stages that is probably where you want to make a tweak.

Yes, keeping the information available where the EU's jurisdiction doesn't reach subverts the spirit of the EU's laws, but what alternative is there? By that standard, even delivering censored results to all EU IP addresses isn't enough - that's trivially circumvented with a VPN. And if the EU gets to have the spirit of their laws reach worldwide, then so does every other government.

But that way lies madness. Once Google is done censoring every search result that any government objects to (including results governments let their citizens object to), what will be left?

That's slightly misleading because their traffic involves live HD video streams for rather long periods of time. For example, 1000 Twitch users will represent orders of magnitude more traffic than 1000 Facebook users. Another impressive point is since the content is live it's not as easy to CDN like Netflix/YouTube.

It's still a ton of bandwidth. I'm sure they'll be happy no longer having to pay that bill.

It would be nice if I could put in my information and my current fixed rate and when at any point in the future it would be able to get me a cheaper loan or a loan at X rate it would notify me. In the past I have simply spoken to a mortgage seller and told him to contact me if he could ever get me a rate X, it took a while, but when he finally could he gave me a ring and I locked it in before the rate went up again. Systematizing that would have value.
Well, Groovy has done it for a long time ...

Actually Groovy looks really similar to Gosu and one would argue has a lot wider recognition and support. But then, I do like that Gosu feels much "cleaner" in some way that Groovy doesn't.
"Drone" in this case is a quad-copter.

The owner "showed officers video he’d captured during the drone’s flight, which showed it hovering over the Space Needle’s observation deck as tourists waved. Nothing on the video indicated the drone had hit the Needle."
Of course it isn't. That right applies to any citizen, not just to politicians, and besides, the newspaper morgues are not so forgetful. Also, for 'public figures' the standards are different and they probably will be only very partially successful in this. The Streisand effect will nicely counteract any attempt to be 'forgotten' for those who are extra deserving of being remembered.
Reminds me of Clang, the C compiler, vs Clang, the really interesting tech demo/game for sword fighting ;)

So the answer would be, it's statically typed by default, whereas Groovy is optionally statically typed. Groovy's static typing can be a little finicky as well, you sort of really need to only use it optionally because using it everywhere gets kind of painful (although it might be better in the most recent versions, type inference is quite hit and miss).

But then I would say there are a lot of other advantages that Groovy brings - just a wider usage and knowledge base in general mainly.

Edit: Gosu also seems to offer reified generics, I'm not sure how that is implemented, esp. while maintaining the seamless Java interop people speak of, but it could be pretty powerful.

Sam Walton's biography is one of the best business books I've ever read: http://amazon.com/Sam-Walton-Made-In-America/dp/0553562835

What's really instructive about his story is that he started his first retail store when he was in his mid-late 20s, sold that and earned his first stripes in his early 30s. And it wouldn't be a decade later until he started Walmart in his early 40s.

Walmart was a culmination of several decades of Walton's life that he dedicated to mastering, and dominating, retail.

> Who normally leaks this sort of thing?

Nobody. If you can't trust your investors to keep their mouth shut about a deal in progress or that is under wraps for reasons important enough to the acquirer and the acquiree then investors follow suit and happily count their money.

Such loose lips can sink deals in the worst cases. Very unprofessional.
Why are there so many posts talking about censorship and none talking about privacy?
But "someone else should fix it" does not help either.

If you do not provide Realtek the financial incentives (ie, not buying their products) for not maintaining proper Linux drivers (in kernel ones are what I would consider proper) then nobody in the world has a financial incentive to make them work for you. If you are buying realtek products, having them not work, and not demanding a refund for the lack of functionality, then nothing changes.

It is disingenuous to blame kernel developers for not fixing a hardware vendors shitty driver when said hardware vendor is not paying them squat.
What we must have is a network that enables a peer-to-peer trust rating for individuals. Sort of like Yelp, but for people.

No doubt such a system would be a huge privacy problem for people as people would say that negative reviews reveal their private facts, or that those reviews are defamation.

However, if the network is decentralized, then it might be possible to keep it running even in the face of opposition from state actors.

If we have a peer-to-peer rating/reputation network in place, it would allow people to bypass the elitist inside networks (old boys clubs) to raise capital from investors based on mass positive reputation.

Rascals and scammers like these failed Kickstarter bros would be shut down after a single scam ... they would not be able to rent or scam another person after a single scam.

Implementing a centralized reputation system would be a good first step.

I understand why Yelp and other established companies don't want to be in this business. Its a liability/privacy nightmare.

Imagine the first time some innocent girl in high school is unjustly called a slut, and is defamed by her own school as part of some bullying clique.

I believe the network can ameliorate if not outright prevent such clique abuse by enabling users to rate reviewers based on the reviews they have given. If you abuse people with your reviews and ratings, it can damage your own ratings.
So Negitivefrags is probably right that the best top-down way to get this to happen is to place signage. But it's sort of fun to think of the best bottom-up way to get this to happen, assuming your local government isn't putting up signs.

For example, I love going a constant speed in start-stop traffic (letting gaps appear ahead of me then closing them as traffic stops) so as to smooth out the ride of everyone behind me.

So what's the optimal way to get this behavior to spread? It's probably not just to gun it to the front of the line and yell 'zipper!', everyone just thinks you're an asshole.

VikingCoder suggests "If you want to show people how it's done, you go the same speed as the cars next to you in the open lane, and zipper merge at the end." I love it, because it's really awkward, and people will note it enough to maybe think through what's happening, what your logic is.

But I dunno, maybe there's something else more clever out there, too.
