Upon reflection you're 100% correct. You're right, there are some awesome folk traditions to be found in US rural areas. The only rural culture I was exposed to was hunting and fishing, which I enjoy greatly, but it's not exactly art or music. I think the problem may lie with my relatives. After thinking about it, my mom did tell me stories about how her grandparents and great aunts and uncles would get together and play the fiddle and sing.

That said, you have to admit, the art/music/gatherings in the country are much less frequent and much less varied than in a big city.
Rap genius was penalized, but then the penalty was quietly lifted after a couple months. Tell me a less well-connected company would've gotten such a deal.
Of course, you can also produce the movie in digital (to save cost and for convenience), then make a few film transfers as an extra archival backup.
If I am a seller, what is my motivation to use your product? I could easily post my things on CL, tell the buyers to come pick up, and I get full price for my stuff. Where do you add value to the seller where CL doesn't?
No, no particular reasons. It is just the safest fallback. Presumably if a user is even able to run that script (since you yourself are hosting it) the library would also be available (i.e. either both are down or neither).
I don't think my comment was in the nature of, say, a grammatical correction. If this were my website and someone found a button's hover state off-putting, whether they were right or not I'd want to know about it.

I didn't want to comment on the service itself until I had something important to say about it.
"Good security practices require us to use different passwords for most or all of the websites .... remembering all of your passwords requires an inhuman display of memory."

It actually is possible to create unique passwords for every website and remember them without inhuman displays of memory. To do so, there are two basic things you need to remember:

1) A unique base password
2) A simple hashing function

The input to the hashing function can be the company's name or website address (an overly simplified example - your hashing function could be the first two characters of the website's domain name). A unique password for any website could then be:

password = hash_function(domain) + base_password

A very simple way to create unique passwords for every website, inhuman memorization skills not required.
I know that my wife enjoys the process of cooking, not merely the meal. I'm sure there are others who are in a relative hurry, and would love the option of being able to play in the kitchen, minus the hassle of procuring small portions of the ingredients for your 4 (or six or whatever) people.
I don't want to live in Santa Monica, but where I considering working for snapchat, this is pretty damn relevant information. Something went so wrong that a presumably good engineering leader left a company that appears to be on a crash course to making him very rich. Either he was fired, or found a situation so bad he couldn't stand it.
This makes a poor distinction between server-side code (for which async tasks seem designed) and client-side code created by third parties that slows down the experience on a page that's already been downloaded.

Most people don't have trucks and you don't have to deal with CL- reposting every 12 hours, dealing with people who want to pay half the agreed upon price at the door, telling people where you live, etc etc.
The salinity of the ocean isn't uniform and the ocean is connected to various bodies of fresh water. From a quick glance at the map of surface salinity[1] you can see that warmer waters are saltier. Perhaps tasting saltiness sometimes helps dolphins avoid dangerous fresh water, helps to locate different temperature waters, or generally helps them understand the current environment better? Maybe freshwater fish are unhealthy for dolphins to eat?

I was suicidal for an extended period of time many years ago. Doctors weren't sure what was wrong. The hospital emergency ward gave me clonazepam and ativan, but that was only a band-aid, and didn't help long term.

Although I wanted to die, my fear of death and an eternity in the Lake of Fire was a far greater fear (Revelation 21:8). I'm not asking you to believe what I do. I'm just relaying what I went through, and the mindset I had at the time. As terrible as it was, that fear I had kept me alive.

Finally found a doctor who was able to diagnose what I had. Got treatment, suicidal thoughts went away, and am doing much better now.

I don't like to think back on that ordeal, but when I do meet people who are contemplating suicide, I absolutely can relate and empathize with the anguish they are experiencing.
I'm not sure what you mean by "strokes and poking around in the brain"?
Another App Store lesson
I don't see how this is illegal. Immoral, yes. Against the ToS of a website, yes. Possible grounds for a lawsuit, yes.

But illegal? Not unless I'm actually stealing data, making a profit, or accessing areas I shouldn't be.
I think you misunderstood. The SDK [1] is open source (which has a toy implementation of the backend services: data store, queue, etc.) The actual backend services that Snapchat uses live on Google servers and are not open sourced. And that is the secret sauce I was referring to.

It's an incredibly important point for the firm, considering that design decision flies in the face of good design, presumably has been viewed/interacted with by multiple people at the firm, and is somehow still in place in the live site.

The comments section isn't open, so I'll ask the authors a question here in case they see it: WordPress has had async tasks for a very long time in the form of single scheduled WordPress cron items. How is that approach insufficient for tasks such as rebuilding items like Crunchbase "cards"?
Most people don't like having strangers come to where they live, especially when they're advertising expensive items.
This is an interesting conversation (the whole thread). I think people get really tripped up with these discussions because they're talking about different things. The first comment talks about "side projects" making $10k per month. I think 'patio11 and 'tptacek as well as yourself would all agree that $10k/month is impressive for a true side project (built and maintained entirely outside of normal working hours), but that it's completely normal (almost required) for even the smallest of "lifestyle businesses". (That term, to me, signifies a business which demands full time attention from its principals, at least to start.)

The "patio11 as runaway success" quote is probably what triggered the rest of this discussion--obviously 'patio11 is successful, but there's nothing "runaway" about it.
That's a strange story. According to the blogger's version og the incident, he was struck an injured by someone clearly breaking the law. Why wasn't the other driver detained by police and arrested?

Too early to tell if Stella will work but their intentions appear good and the underlying concept solid. Was very surprised though that there isn't a single advisor to the board who's career has been in finance or banking.

Seems to me that stella will only work and achieve broad adoption if the network has solid gateways operated by entities people already know and trust. Who do most people trust with their money? Existing banks and other well known exchange/trading platforms (xe.com / etrade / western union). If you want these institutions to start operating stella gateways, surely it would be a good idea to have an advisor to the board that's from that world, well connected and understands it intimately?
The firmware on today's USB drives is flashable from Windows
(usually XP) using the manufacturer's proprietary utility
for that particular flash memory controller. Sandisk remains mysterious as their utility if it exists has not been leaked.

This is likely because the firmware has not been perfected yet, so ugrades are continuing. Plus completely different
characteristics can be obtained to arrive at multiple device
brands or behaviors from the same hardware.
"Identical" flash drives from the same manufacturer containing the same exact chips can often have
different firmware revisions, and different resulting performance.

On most units an additional CDROM device, or extra partitions (hidden, private/secure or not) can be configured to be detected (or not) when plugged in to any OS.
The controller provisions the available flash memory among the dictated devices and makes them available to you.

I've been adjusting the firmware for a couple years now as I
do the continuous improvement on my rapid multibootable sticks.

Getting Started with Touch ID and Local Authentication
For one thing it would be interesting to learn something about Linux. The command would show what would actually be needed. In my opinion Hey is probably only useful (used) by (would be / wannabe) programmers.
For the other thing: I would expect it to do more sensitive things in the future. And also: if it would create a directory where I would it not want to be, it would help to say simply no instead of having to remove it later ('Oh, thats the root where it was created; it should have been the Documents folder').
It might not be a strict requirement, but if Google suspects something is up it will do extra verification.

Using some privacy settings and VPNs will get you more Captchas on Google services also.
Ya that's definitely true. You might check out JLN labs, they have a bunch of over unity and reactionless rocket experiments drawing from the work by TT Brown:

http://jlnlabs.online.fr

Some of the more fascinating ones are in near-vacuum. I remember reading that asymmetric fields might be able to propel virtual pairs or interact with the interstellar medium, but unfortunately the effect seems to fall too quickly in relation to density.

There was another article about how since cooper pairs are delocalized in a superconductor, they may not interact with gravity. It was trying to explain things like the electrogravitic effects near spinning superconductors:

http://www.technologyreview.com/view/412674/if-superconducti...

I keep thinking that if any of these do stray from physics, it will be interesting to see how they reconcile it. So far it hasn't happened but days like today make me wonder if it's just around the corner.

A few days ago (when this actually launched), I was in a position where I actually had to map out their network some. The CDN nodes are all 17.253.*.22[1-4], and are located in Los Angeles (22), Chicago (12), Palo Alto (? this one I found confusing and also thought might be near New Jersey) (18), Dallas (8), Miami (6), Atlanta (4), New York (2), Seattle (20), San Jose (16), the Netherlands (32), the UK (34), Austria (66), Hong Kong (64), Japan (68), Singapore (80), and Germany (48).
How is that any different from what the EU is forcing google to do?
Interesting! I don't have any college degree - I left in fourth year and joined a startup. I mostly hated college classes. I felt that many instructors either didn't want to be teaching, or weren't very good at it, and didn't work at getting better. Taking a class on a subject I was interested in was a guaranteed way to destroy all my enthusiasm for the topic (with the one exception of a great computer graphics course). I couldn't imagine completing three degrees.

My MOOC completion rate is also fairly low. In total I've signed up for 16 MOOCs, and successfully completed 6 of them (with 1 more in progress). I don't consider this a failing of the MOOC style - I actually consider the freedom to drop courses without punishment a great joy compared to my previous college engineering degree program. I've stopped "attending" MOOCs because I didn't like the instructor, or because I didn't enjoy the material, or just because I had too many other things going on to set aside 6 hours a week to work on a course.

But what if you had to complete the MOOC in a college environment, where you didn't have the freedom to just stop working on the material without punishment? I agree that having the lecture times blocked out is a motivating factor - I take "classes" at the gym to motivate myself to go every day. But when it comes to assignments, or studying for the final, that's still time you need to set up for yourself. Since you've been so successful at self-motivating yourself to do that already, do you think you'd be able to motivate yourself enough to watch the video lectures in a college setting?

Thanks for sharing your data point, even if it's just a small sample size. I'm really enjoying reading about other's experiences.
RAII simply requires that resource allocation is tied to object lifetime. It requires that destructors are called deterministically and immediately once all references to an object no longer exist. (In the case of cycles, a reference remains until otherwise broken -- a non-issue for this definition).

I personally prefer RAII to finally for object-related cleanup because finally is fallible. If you have a File object instance whose destructor calls fclose() automatically then I don't have to remember to call a Close() method inside a finally block. It happens automatically. But if you don't have RAII then you must remember to put in try blocks and finally clauses everywhere you create an instance. Multiply that by every database connection, network connection, and file and that is a lot of work and potential to miss something. And finally doesn't work at all if your object lifetimes aren't tied to scope.

Finally is inferior to RAII in almost all cases except where you aren't using nicely defined objects. If you use an fopen() call directly, finally is your only recourse to fclose() it properly. The only criticism of RAII is that does limit concurrency and garbage collection options.
Thinking about this a bit more, there is one flaw with using it to track debts among a circle of friends, which is that any of those friends could then turn around and trade the USD-stellar I issued them to someone else, who doesn't realize that they shouldn't actually trust me for it. Using a fake currency as a proxy for USD would work here, but of course fake currencies have their own problem which is everyone has to invent a unique fake currency to avoid confusion.

Another solution would be to allow gateways to declare that their coins are only redeemable by a limited set of accounts. That way I can be a gateway and issue USD-stellar that everyone knows is worthless if it leaves the circle of friends. I could do this ad-hoc just by refusing to redeem any issued coins by someone outside the group, but as mentioned above that leaves open the possibility of people not realizing that these particular coins are worthless (outside the group). Of course, this also has the problem where someone may now look at their balance and see that they have $500 USD, but not realize that $50 of it is actually debt issued by me, because the software they're using doesn't distinguish restricted coins from others.

Perhaps the fake currency approach really is the best. This has the benefit of letting an extended group of friends trade around debt issued by people they're not actually direct friends with, but they trust transitively through a shared friend. If I decide to accept debt issued by Alice, and Alice refuses to pay up when I go to her, I can then talk to our shared friend (but hopefully Alice would agree that the debt I bought from Joan is still valid and pay up). The downside is, of course, that everyone has to be using the same centralized shared currency. And that won't scale past a small group of friends (if it did, it wouldn't be a fake currency anymore). Although if you have several smaller circles of friends each with their own currency, and there's overlap, they could decide to trust the other currency and treat it as equivalent to theirs. I guess this is a continuation of Stellar's philosophy that the trust is granted by the person accepting the coin, rather than being dictated in any fashion by the issuer.

Of course, all this is predicated on the fake debt-currency not spreading far. As you try to scale to larger groups of friends, it ultimately ends up being simpler just to switch to USD.

I guess the real challenge here is figuring out how to let Stellar wallet clients display contained balances in a way that doesn't confuse coins issued by generally-trusted gateways vs coins issued by small gateways that most users probably won't trust. If I can somehow either categorize myself as a gateway, or each gateway I trust, those categories could be used to display balances appropriately. This way I can categorize Alice, Joan, Bob, Fred, and Jane as debt-issuing friends, and they can issue USD, and I won't accidentally think I have $500 USD when I really have $450 USD and $50 friend-debt. This doesn't really solve the problem of trading debt to people who don't realize it's worthless, but I don't know if that's a legitimate worry.
Smart team, who knows the food space well. Agree with Josh that sending all the ingredients is key, as well as finding great unique recipes that can be ordered (I assume) any time.

Amazon Route 53 Announces Domain Name Registration, Geo Routing, ..
I'm curious how many of these kinds of services the market will bear - there seem to be quite a few clones now. And do they have staying power?

I think people are curious to see what they are all about, but I suspect this kind of food shopping experience will not change peoples behavior longterm.

I tried Blue Apron and was generally happy with the service, but canceled it because it put too many constraints on my week - I had to stay home and cook Monday - Wednesday or else the ingredients would perish.

The bigger issue for me though was packaging waste. I hate all the plastic crap that was generated out of a meal.

I keep hearing the argument about being a non-profit. It really means little in terms of accountability or credibility. Even in a for-profit public company shareholders have some amount of say on who gets elected to the board. But this board is entirely self-selected; which seems contrary to the inherently democratic if not flat idea behind crypto currencies.

And we are talking about a full fledged monetary system here with legal repercussions in terms of international law. With Bitcoin, no one was technically "responsible" for what folks did with Bitcoin. Will the Stellar organization be responsible for oversight and arbitration for any legal or financial fraud? And will the board BE held accountable or responsible for any systemic issues rising from speculation or any other activity?
Peak pricing isn't particularly common in residential power metering, though I suppose it might arrive.

The answer would depend on your heating/cooling cycle and usage. Most usage peaks are bimodal: early morning and early afternoon. Those would tend to correspond to morning and evening heating peaks, assuming your residence is largely uninhabited during the day. Overnight demand is usually low.

This could lead to, say, greater use of steam/water heating using thermal storage. Heating a well-insulated water storage tank with off-peak energy, then transferring that to the structure when it's most needed, would be a form of demand averaging / peak shifting. Depending on the storage methods used, boiler explosions might become an increased risk.

If you're using direct-delivery methods, e.g., radiant electric heat as described here, peak pricing would make some of the options used less beneficial on a cost basis.

It's funny that we tell our children not to do things that will certainly have bad consequences for them, like putting their hand in fire. But still, there's mockery around after-life scenarios like we'd know something for certain. There's so much mystery around our existence, consciousness, suffering, that mocking precautions about after-life is incredibly foolish.

> I could easily post my things on CL, tell the buyers to come pick up, and I get full price for my stuff. Where do you add value to the seller where CL doesn't?

What fantasy land do you live in where this happens? I have never had a time it didn't take me at least 2-3 times to sell something, the buyer is a hassle to deal with if the item is large and needs a suitable vehicle for transport, and they want to haggle once they're on site.
You can indeed issue fake currencies. The only technical limitation is that currencies are (as it stands) limited to 3 letters.

Note that your friend would only be able to trade your fake currency to someone who is willing to trust you, so there's no obvious need to have more technical enforcement preventing trades.
