Another reasons is that music makes it less awkward, most streamers aren't talking 100% of the time and there will be awkward silences. Also, for me at least, the addition of music makes it more of a casual viewing experience. I'll often have a twitch stream on my second monitor while working and it's not distracting at all.

25 million Americans live in the 10 biggest cities.

33 million Americans live in the 20 biggest cities.

44 million Americans live in the 50 biggest cities.

I think any of those is a reasonable number to build a rail system for.
A number of the oil companies have left downtown in the last few years and moved to the Westlake energy corridor along 10. As a result, their employees have moved out to Katy, Sugarland, etc.

Shell and BP have both built huge new campuses in West Houston. BP even claims to have built the world's largest commercial research supercomputer in their Westlake campus.
Eh, they sort of are paying you indirectly for your checkins.... They are paying a significant amount to a full time staff working on a free app that you use without paying them any money.

You're receiving the benefit of their work in exchange for information about which businesses you frequent, which is them paying you for that location data.
"Independent Kurdistan" not including claimed Turkish territory of course, only Northern Iraq.
Foursquare isn't paying me (or exchanging something of significant value) for that constant stream of location data.

Oh no! The government might not regulate the Internet! How terrible, because they have such a great track record regulating everything else . . .
Indeed. Do you have some specific examples in mind, I would love knowing more. The usual suspects, for example fold_left, fold_right would typically adhere to fixed order for floating point operations. A reason Java is a FLOPs killer is that its standard is too strictly specified, it does not leave much room for the runtime to take advantage of these features. Even order of argument evaluation for functions are specified to be left to right.

New Study Shows the Decline of Startups and America’s Geriatric Economy

I'm also assuming transduce and sequence are something like this

type RT r a b = Red r a -> Red r b

sequence :: RT [a] a b -> [b] -> [a]
sequence xform bs = transduce xform (flip (:)) [] bs

transduce :: RT r a b -> (r -> a -> r) -> r -> [b] -> r
transduce xform cons nil =
let (cons', nil') = xform (cons, nil)
in foldr (flip cons') nil'

but I can't find the actual source yet. Again, there's a weird flipping going on induced by the contravariance. It makes me want to define RT-composition backwards.
It helps when your government has as much control as the Chinese government.
Right, but this seems to also offer original carrier and current carrier which to my knowledge a phonebook doesn't provide.
Sure, but depending on the pourover, you probably have ridges that are slightly less trivial to clean, at least compared to the Aeropress.
In this particular case I'm not sure, but I certainly do want Wikipedia to be zealous in challenging doubtful copyright take down requests in general so that we don't see, for example, all mention of Xenu removed from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientology.
Good thing the streets are all one-way!

Seriously though, in the downtown portion of Houston there are only two directions people want to go in a hurry, northeast and southwest. Those roads have at least double the carrying capacity of the cross-roads and as such it absolutely makes sense to optimize the lights for them.

So what happens is that the "get me out of downtown" roads are very well timed and the cross-streets aren't but that's OK. Most people don't need the cross-streets and if they do, they're fairly lightly traveled because most people don't need them.

Interesting, thanks for sharing. Like I said, I work in logistics. I've never worked in healthcare before so I didn't know they are required to use SOAP, but I was aware that they use lots of X12 and I guess I thought SOAP content was always XML. SOAP is pretty rare in my industry. Almost all FTP & AS2.
Rob didn't say 'no' to highlighting. His infamous quote saying it was juvenile was meant as a joke.
It's happening both ways. The finance and finance-related things are all downtown and the inner-loop is gentrifying. So is the East End (in a BIG way).

BUT because the oil companies are moving their operations west (BP and others) and north (Exxon) people are also migrating those directions.

You would think this would mean that real-estate prices in the donut between the loop and the beltway would be pushed downward but it's not happening. The population seems to be growing faster than the "city" expands so prices are going up everywhere.

9 Tools That Can Help Grow Your App Business
I bought a used X60s off ebay for $40 and installed libreboot. Boots very fast (seems immediate for human) into grub. I replaced wifi with atheros so doesn't need any propreitary code at all! Works fine without microcode update.

A minor thing: I'd rather split the two parts of the app into the tracking code & the app for collecting & displaying the data. If you then document the parameters, people might be more likely to use at least a part of it (or write other backends for it).
Also this way it would be possible to not run another webserver in order to serve the tracking code.
VisiCalc was incredibly primitive by modern software standards. You could write a web-based version with equivalent functionality in a week or so (in fact, I think that's how Google Spreadsheets got started).

Small popular programs get extended, grow, are improved by large teams of paid programmers, and then eventually the category becomes so advanced that you need to have that large team to make progress. I can (and have) written Tetris in 3-4 hours, but there's no way I could write Starcraft 2. But that doesn't mean that small programs have become impossible to write; it just means that you have to start looking where other people are not. Look at the success of 2048 or Flappy Bird. There's probably another category-killer out there for small-business apps, but if someone's found it they aren't going to advertise it.

Adafruit has a ton of tutorials for the beaglebone black. They even have their own Python library. https://learn.adafruit.com/category/beaglebone

Derek Molloy has several video tutorials: http://derekmolloy.ie/beaglebone/

Both of these resources have just about all of their source available on Github.

Anyone whose done "little" embedded will be absolutely amazed by embedded linux, once they can get a base level of proficiency. With smaller processors, every bit of functionality in the code is there either because you had to put it there yourself, or you cobbled it together from 7 different barely tested libraries. If those libraries are any good, you may have paid thousands of dollars each, plus 20% every year, for an RTOS, Ethernet, TCP/IP, USB, filesystem, etc. Oh, whats that? You want to switch from Freescale to Texas Instruments? Fuck you, pay me. You want to release two different products with the same RTOS? Fuck you pay me. You want multiple developers using the same libraries? Fuck you pay me.

With a beaglebone black, for free, immediately and in perpetuity, you have TCP, UDP, HTTP, FTP, DHCP, SSH, SPI, I2C, UART, Filesystems, SDMMC, USB host and device, HDMI, Threads, Processes, Semaphores, Pipes, Queues, Python, Java, C/C++, Android, MySQL, and more. Additionally, just about all of these features have been thoroughly tested because its all Linux. There are more questions and answers on Google/StackOverflow, because there are more Linux developers to chime in. Even if they've never touched a beaglebone, most of their experience is still relevant. You can program, compile, and debug directly on the processor, without needing an IDE or JTAG debugger. It's truly an amazing device/experience.
I love yogurt, but Chobani is probably the worst example of a good yogurt product. Sugary and yucky, just like the awful stuff made by Dannon and Yoplait.

I guess I don't understand American tastes; yogurt is supposed to be tangy, not sweet. I don't mind there being sweet varieties, but it's hard to find anything that isn't full of sugar, or is "low fat" or "no fat" (meaning, again, more sugar) or "creamline" (meaning unappetizingly slimy).
In 2004, the Republican Party platform said that "Republicans support, where economically viable, the development of a high-speed passenger railroad system as an instrument of economic development and enhanced mobility". In 2002, it was a part of Rick Perry's ambitious massive transportation plan for Texas. Even Ron Paul signed a letter asking the federal government to give Texas money for rail studies and to help it build "a truly ambitious and world-class high-speed rail network".

It sure sounds like Republicans were on board for high-speed rail. What has changed since then? I hope this is not another one of those things that they are now against because they don't want to be on the same side as Obama.

Huh, ever since moving away, I've greatly enjoyed not having access roads. I feel like they greatly encourage a particularly walking-unfriendly sort of suburban sprawl in which there are long rows of large chain stores and restaurants directly facing highways and no opportunity for any sort of neighborhood to exist around them.
Tōkaidō Shinkansen was operational in just 5 years. That's the 320 mile line between Tokyo and Osaka. The only reason this is fantasy talk is because of mismanagement of funds and resources. It didn't used to take 3 years to upgrade a 3 mile stretch of freeway. If it did, our interstate infrastructure would have never been built.

Teamstory – A Social Network for Entrepreneurs and Startups
Teamstory lets you capture and share your moments throughout your entrepreneurial journey with other like-minded entrepreneurs around the world. You can post photos, thoughts, links, questions etc. that entrepreneurs can relate to.

We felt that Twitter and Facebook was good for reaching out to customers but was way too cluttered. Also platforms like Angelist and F6S focused on funding / idea. But what we want to do is to focus on daily life aspects of an entrepreneur. We want to be the go-to platform for startups to share their stories.

Have a look at our website and our app.
You'll see what kind of community we've got going on :D
It's silly to draw overarching conclusions of a country based on their choice of transportation.

The US flew 846 billion passenger miles last year. Does that make us better or worse? (Answer: neither.)

http://apps.bts.gov/xml/air_traffic/src/index.xml

Trains aren't an end, they're a means to an end. In the US we use jets and cars instead of trains.

And before you object based on efficiency -- trains aren't that much more efficient than flying. Only 20% by Amtrak's measure.

http://www.amtrak.com/whistle-stop/energy-efficiency-rail-tr...

With the increased speed of flying, trains don't seem like such a natural fit for a spread out country like the US.
Nice. I hadn't considered attaching three cells to another player's block.

Another tactic that I've seen in the game is to use 1-3 cells to cause other patterns of >10 cells to "self-destruct". This can work directly in your favor if another player's cells are obstructing a future growth-path of one of your methuselahs.
There are places in Milwaukee where it seems that all the lights turn green as you approach them, but unfortunately this is of no use. The cars who have been waiting at the red light take ~30 seconds to get moving again (texting/delayed reaction time/conservative acceleration * 5-6 cars) so you still have to stop, it's just that you're stopping at green lights. Incredibly frustrating.

A useful trick for that Cuisinart:

It has the strange and useful behavior of spraying the fine particles (the "dust") against the top of the cup, where the stick, whereas the larger, correctly-sized particles fall to the bottom. After I grind, I carefully slide my finger to remove the dust from the top/side of the cup before pouring the grounds into my brew device.

Less dust = less over-extraction = less bitter.

I wish there were a sub-$100 burr grinder that doesn't suck... but alas.
This tutorial has SPI, I2C, PWM, GPIO, ADC, and UART. Its in Python, but it almost exclusively uses the sysfs interface, so porting it to C, or the language of your choice, should be very simple.

>'It would be helpful if they offered a "degree" of some kind for completing groups of classes.'

They do.

EdX - xSeries [1]

Coursera - Specializations [2]

Udacity - Nanodegrees [3]

Obviously, no one agrees on what to call these groups. Worse, the length, cost and schedules are equally disparate which isn't a problem specific to groups, but the state of MOOCs in general.

One group offering might be 7 classes at $50 each, with each class covering 8 weeks with an estimated effort of 8-10 hours per week. Another is 9 classes at $50 each, with each class covering 4 weeks with an estimated effort of as little as 3-4 hours per week. One group can be completed in as little as three months, another requires a minimum of 3 years.
