Let's all remember that facebook is not doing this for the users, but just because it has to minimize the most effective strategy --as of now-- publisher use to lure the sticky users out of the facebook cave and onto their websites.
I believe the parent poster was posting an earlier version of the article. With breaking stories, news sites will sometimes post a small amount of initial information so they get the story out fast. Then, after more details are available, the article is edited to include more information.
I've owned http://secondcoldwar.net for some time now, in anticipation of something like this. Maybe now's the time to get it going!

I do not think so, it will still use Russian titanium.
Are you talking about Google? I'm glad that it was Amazon instead of Google too, for the same reason.
Maybe they'll buy Parallels and rename Virtuozzo to Docker for Windows.
Thanks for the insights! I think you phrased it more like I actually think about it. You're absolutely right about 'instilling a bond of trust'.
Buzzfeed Editors Hate Them For This One Weird Trick!
Did you read the article?

The only reason this information took so long to become available, was because scientists had to fight to prove that the provenance of the bones was not Native American. And the article states that the bones are more closely related to the moriori, as it turns out after the study happened more than 10 years later. So no stomping.. This is something that was required to be proved before the bones became Native American property to dispose of by law. The Corp's actions as described by this article, look unethical and against the interests of the American people (and for that matter mine, as a non-American).

There is no reason to believe that there is any stomping on any rights, except the rights of people not to have to make hollow gestures, in order to appease an aggrieved people. At least, that is how the article portrays it.
It is also about unexpected outgoing connections. This is mostly what I use little snitch for.

And yes, I check each one that pops up and don't put an approved one in permanently unless I know what it is.
A game company that offered experiences for mobile that rival those found on console and PC. I don’t mean in terms of graphical fidelity or gameplay length, but in richness of how stories are told or really taxing a player mentally to solve a puzzle. Right now the most famous games for mobile are ones like Angry Birds, Clash of Clans, etc. which I find pretty sad personally when the equivalent on other platforms are games like Deus Ex or the Zelda series.
They don't even need tracking cookies. They can just use the Like button.
I watch some singleplayer streams mostly for the entertainment value. Just watching someone play isn't very fun, but some streamers have funny commentary and play the game is weird ways.

It's not very fun watching someone play Fallout, but it's entertaining watching someone play Fallout role-playing as a homicidal maniac that uses nothing but his bare fists. The sheer difficulty is impressive, and if coupled with a talent for presentation/humor it can be a pretty fun time.
Psychological trick: absolutely. And I'll bet it works fantastically well. I don't mean to negate that side of things.

As to food: personally, lunch is my big meal, it comes out to almost half. Plus that's assuming all calories are equal, but meh. The main thing I would argue here is that investing in sports programs or bicycle purchases will probably impact a small fraction of the people that free lunch impacts. In addition, it'll have less effect on the people who could most benefit from better health - just having a soccer team or cheaper bikes isn't usually enough to convince overweight + sedentary to exercise more. It's pretty easy to get people to eat better if that's the easiest option.
Well, the issue you point to here is the flux of language, which is a real problem. There is no "English," we have no academy like they do for French (which is bullshit anyway), and we never will, and it would be impossible. There is just a series of languages each wholly understood only by the speaker, and perhaps people in the immediate culture of the speaker.

Now, this is sort of a problem, but it's not as though we are walking around confused all day. We make it work, we formalize, we come up with a perscriptivist framework, even if we live in a decriptivist world.

We can do this with any issue brought up with being verb "problems." Our Julius Caesar issue is fixed by a simple convention (yes we have conventions in English as we do in formal languages). Getting people to follow the rules is the only problem, and it will eventually fail, but that doesn't mean we won't have a few hundred years of it working, possibly more.

The issue of practicality is an entirely different question. Currently, it's an absurd proposition, that isn't to say however, that it isn't doable. Especially with greater computational power in the future. I think saying it's impractical is a cop out. The amount of energy that goes into learning languages is immense. If we were able to learn one syntax, nearly identical to English, that could convert instructions into readable code, we'd enter a renaissance of programming akin to art after the photograph was invented, or the current renaissance of music we've created with the invention of the synthesizer and sampler. Skill would evaporate, ideas would reign. People would complain that proper rules aren't being followed like they always do, but the amount of programs produced would expand so far that the cream would rise to the top and the world would be a better place.

That was actually the point I was hoping to make, but it can be hard to convey whether a question is meant seriously or not.
They've since updated the article to reflect the Amazon purchase but no mention of an apology for getting the story dead wrong. The only thing confirmed is their lack of respect for their readers.
Bios and applications can still be updated even after submitting if it's before the Oct 14 deadline.
It's working now so all is clear. :-) No offense but it's always kind of reassuring that even really big smart groups make bugs. Done and done.

Applying to YC has definitely been a great way to asses the current status of Tinj. In the early days, we'd spend over a week working on the YC application which was definitely a sign that we weren't ready. Thanks to all that work though, I've gotten better at communicating who/what/why we are.

I've been using VI/VIM for decades. If I am looking at a piece of code, I don't think too much about how to move around, or delete lines, or such. It mostly happens while I'm thinking of higher level issues.

Fixing indent issues is just a couple keystrokes, so that reduces my distraction too.

Practice, practice, practice with the tools you are going to use every day.
I know that there are some pretty big components that are Sage-only, like the sage-combinat package, and I know the people working on it are packaging it correctly (i.e. no grad-student kind of work). I don't know what proportion of the work goes into such components instead of integrating every other major free math software out there.

I'm just surprised to see Sage getting accusations of grad-student level of maintainership code. Are they really scrambling that much outside of the mature math projects for code?

Also says "item's". We may be pedantic, but I tend to not trust services that don't have proper grammar and spelling. To me, it makes me wonder what else is sloppy and may come back to bite me.

Nice idea though; good luck!
Heh, completely opposite experience with BoA for me. Incredibly disorganized interviewers (I was waiting for almost an hour between some interviews), the last 2 out of 5 gave me attitude too. No offer in the end.

Bloomberg was the next place I interviewed at and they had a firm offer that same day (the HR guy was the last person I spoke to) -- I had them wait another 4 days since I had 2 more interviews lined up.
Yeah, there were plenty of coffee shops before Starbucks. Just make your reward tags the best!
Haha, being downvoted for being right.
As long as you keep the main functionality free - because more people need to be using this sort of app, and I feel having to pay would be a pretty significant obstacle.
The legal info in the article was not news to me. The litigation is pretty old news; the ethical implications are well-trodden ground. "Ambivalent" means I see both sides; it does not mean I completely agree with Native American side.

This article teaches you how to write a conservative GC, which is what you'd do if you wanted to garbage collect in C or some other system where you don't know the shape of objects at runtime.

If you do know that -- like you're writing a GC for a higher-level programming language -- you can write a precise GC instead and avoid all of the (very interesting) muckiness this article goes through.

I wrote an article on that a while back:

Mainly the fact that they both put their career, and life, on the line to expose what they thought was a grave injustice.

The biggest show stopper here is, how do you email your objects to some client after you are done with them? Do you use a different representation? If so, why don't you just use the network representation all the time?

Is there any place I can find more detailed requirements for earthquake seismology stations? I feel like modern off-the-shelf parts could be used to build the signal conditioning and digitization stages for well under $20/channel, and cheap wifi-capable ARM dev board have become available in the past few years. 10 millisecond time stamps are possible with NTP and easy with a GPS or WWVB receiver. How hard are the power limits? Do you actually need 20 bits of resolution over the full scale, or is that just a proxy for getting enough small-signal sensitivity?
Well, congratulations on your unexpected success! :)

It's a little hard to use right now, but the results I've managed to get are great so far. Nice work!

NCDevCon 2014 – JavaScript, HTML5, Mobile : Sept 13-14 : Raleigh NC
Brace yourself for a hot war.
The most watchable games are competitive multiplayer ones, e.g. starcraft, league of legends, dota. It's probably not very appealing to a non-gaming person, but the same can be said about baseball; I don't know rules and I'm pretty sure I won't understand anything going on in the field.
I work at a great company now and the hours are very reasonable. But in the past six years, most of the companies I worked for pressured me in various ways to work (unpaid) overtime. Direct management pressure is only one kind of pressure, and was not the predominant one for me.

Was it a cage, gilded or otherwise? It was certainly unfair and unpleasant.

At some point in one of the companies I worked for, when the hours became truly insane, I just decided not to do it anymore. I was still working a lot, but just chose not to work 60+ hours a week. I would say this choice led to some discomfort at that company, and I might eventually have been fired if I had not moved on.

The point is you can't negotiate your way out of everything. Some places are just bad news, and your best option is to leave, if you can. My experience tells me this is fairly common, especially in a bad economy when employers think you have limited alternatives.
I agree, Dart offers alot regarding prototyping. Maybe I'm thinking too much, but I believe native os and mobile targets are simply too important in the gaming industry and therefore it's difficult to leverage the device capabilities if your primary target is the web & webgl.

I guess, what I miss most is cross compilation, which would be totally awesome. But Dart moves slowly and I'm very hesitant to invest in a platform where its fate relies on the adoption in browsers. (how long until the Dart VM runs in chrome, ff, ...?)
It is a scale 0-100. The higher number, the more competitive keyword. The score is based on SEO competitiveness of the top 10 Google SERP pages.

This is a good idea for a stream unless someone is already doing it. I remember people doing hard runs of games like that, beating the whole game without any weapons etc. I'd definitely watch that if I'm interested in the game already.

If you're anyone in the US, be more worried about heart disease and driving defensively.
So a bit link baity and not exactly news. The US has been "going have a manned space flight capability again" since forever. But it was pretty clear the current development and procurement system was breaking down. Orion is taking way to long and weak budgeting it only part of the story.

Unless they go out of business I'd expect SpaceX to develop a manned mission capability with or without NASA contracts. Its one thing to be able to take US astronauts into space, it is quite another to be able to take anyone you want into space and back again. Even now I don't think some people fully appreciate the capability SpaceX has developed.

For those of you making proposition bets, here is one for you, "Mexico builds an open access launch facility on their gulf coast." The argument for is pretty strong, it can create a bunch of jobs, it can take advantage of NAFTA, and as a launch only facility needs a relatively limited amount of infrastructure. as Arianespace has shown in French Guiana.

Then its really the Mexican equivalent of the FAA giving licenses to send something orbital.
I'm on the Dart team and I recently switched from the Editor to IDEA (13 then 14) too. It really is much better. There's only so much you can do when you build on top of Eclipse.
I'm curious -- does Google ever circle back on no-offer candidates to discuss the interview process?

ITT I see a lot of people who sound like they fell through the cracks of the process. Google has surely lost talent because their interview process hurt the candidate who otherwise would have been an asset.

Then there's the indirect effects -- I probably will never apply to Google because of the long interview (initiation) process. And there are lots of people, I think, who are soured on the idea of not getting a notice one way or another in a timely manner.
I'm happy that it's Amazon that got Twitch and not Google. Google is a great company, but they already have a huge monopoly on video streaming.
I: "Why are you interested in working at this company in particular?"

C: "This company pays currency in exchange for the performance of services."

That's a strange thing about Hearthstone. Watching a stream is almost as much fun as playing. You still get to make the decisions in your head since you have all the same information as the streamer.
Assuming you are on AWS you could look into using some of their tools like Opsworks to help deal with the growing pains.

Its a temporary solution since you would just be using more servers to alleviate the root cause rather than optimizing the code. Opsworks will let you deploy additional servers easily and a contractor can do all the technical setup for you. You can queue servers based on load or time of day and it can run all of your php/database servers for you.

Hope it helps and you can use something like New Relic to help notify you of downtime or performance gaps in your application.
How does that justify a lower reward price even from a business perspective?
It isn't portable. jmp_buf should be treated as opaque data type (just like FILE or va_list), even if it isn't. Also, its content can be encrypted (glibc does pointer mangling).
First of all, successful streamers tend to have entertaining personalities (at least their audience thinks so). Other than that, I think there are a few main reasons why people like it.

1. Sometimes you just want to veg out and watch something, not be an active participant. You can enjoy the game without putting in any effort.

2. There's a community aspect to it. In a single-player game like Fallout you get to see someone else enjoying and talking about what you enjoy, and you can interact with others who share the same interests.

3. Many of the people who stream are really good players. Almost no one reaches that level of play so for most people watching a streamer is the only way to experience it. They can also offer insights and help make you a better player.

It is kind of weird and not traditional... but it does make sense to a young'n like me.
This has nothing to do with the sanctions. Here's an article from 2 years ago with the same plan:

I agree with your entire comment, but the last sentence stands out as the one thing that everyone agrees on.

"I just hope a majority wakes up one day and votes like me"
I think that's exactly why these start-ups accepted the Amazon acquisition, because they retain their own autonomy.
I don't understand why Docker cares about VMvare
It's not on DirecTV because it no longer exits, at least under that name; it was acquired by Al Jazeera and transformed into Al Jazeera America.
It definitely is an MVP right now. We are thinking about kickstarting, or something, in the future. First we are making the whole service as smooth as possible for all parties. So we really appreciate all your input. Thanks!
Watching competitive games is just like watching any other sport.
They were selling keychains and stickers exactly like this for several years now. I saw them sold in Canada and they are also sold in every post office here in Switzerland. I'm yet to see a single person to be actually buying them.

The only difference in your case seems to be that you are targeting online audience and it might be more receptive to the idea, but otherwise I'd say it's a pretty crowded space already.
The implication in the article is that the Corps of Engineers knew or should have known that the remains were not related to local tribes. They wanted to use the skeleton as a bargaining chip with those tribes; adherence to the law was just a cover for their inexcusable behavior.
It's probably akin to a many types of artists, like painters. A certain style will always follow. But evolve as you go.

Did you do much research into rewards vs. no rewards?
I never knew HubSpot had such a stellar line of investors (Sequoia, General Catalyst Partners, Matrix etc).
"First get a long East-West terminal and see if we can roll a ball all the way to the end of the hallway. There shouldn’t be any Coriolis deflection in that case"

The author is confused. That statement would only be true on the Equator. In the northern hemisphere, the ball will always deflect to the right. If I put a pencil on a globe, I can intuitively understand why, sometimes for up to five minutes!
Exercise recommended: read a WW II memoir, for example With the Old Breed or Crossing the Line. Consider the constant dangers these guys faced and lived through, in combat or simply working on a flight deck. Then look at the bodies. The men are fit, with low body fat and good muscle tone. They are not "ripped". They do not have biceps like cantaloupes.

So excuse me if I'm not impressed with the arguments at AoM.

99% is just plain wrong. What about lirik's night stream. They were playing Hanging with Friends and it had ~60k viewers only half that of Lol and more than WoW, CS:Go, or Hearthstone at the time.
