It is Behance after all. The designer's site is similar in it's presentation however. ID students tend not to be great with typography or web design, despite having user centric design as a main tenant of their craft.

This is really well done.

How are you integrating Slack with, for example, CapsuleCRM? Did you write some custom integration code or are you using something like Zapier?
Ukraine is something of a mess but in principle both sides could treat the ethnically Russian eastern areas a bit like the UK treats Scotland, as semi independent and able to choose if they want to go fully independent or not. In practice both sides seem more set on trying to control the area militarily, unfortunately. Though Putin does seem to be moving that way.
Well, winning races is nice, but so are things like scalability and reliability. These pages are no stranger to criticism of MongoDB's fault tolerance semantics, or the notorious difficulty it has scaling to sizes as small as, say, 100 gigabytes. Even aside from fault-tolerance concerns, mmap()'d linked lists of BSON documents and a few B-trees certainly have the potential to be a snazzy enough little foundation for some projects, but will only get you so far.
> That's a bit like saying that you only believe in democracy when it's your own party that wins the election, otherwise you'll take your ball and go home.

I'm going to bite the bullet and agree with you here. But the situation is worse than that: even if your chosen party won at this flavour of democracy, you should still consider taking the ball home.

400,000 Scottish people voted for the Conservative party - and yet these voters are unbelievably underrepresented or unrepresented within the Conservative government with only 1 MP and quite probably 0 again in the future (I concede that Scottish voters were overrepresented in the recent Labour era of government, although this was only slight)

The present UK government has no commitment to Scotland and limited reason to represent Scotland's interests, and that's likely to continue to be the case in future governments. It's not healthy or sustainable for Scotland.

Why wouldn't you choose self-rule over being locked out of government?
It's well known that speeding decreases your travel time linearly but increases your braking distance by far more than that. Generally if you double your speed, you quadruple your braking distance but only half your arrival time.

So no, it's not "rational" skepticism to avoid something uncomfortable, and yes, it has everything to do with traffic safety. Maybe you missed the part of the article where the person prone to speeding tickets got arrested following an accident? It didn't say she was speeding at the time, but speeding doesn't help avoid an accident at all.

My friend and I kinda do this. We started 8-10 years ago when we were in high school. We pooled ~10k together to buy legacy staples. Since then we've bought some cards, but very minimal compared to legacy cards.

We aim for the cards that will be useful post-rotation as many card sale sites do an okay job estimating release price. Also, we mostly played legacy.

Snapcaster for instance was ~$25-30 on release (although some places sold it for as low as 15). Then it was ~20-30 for a while until it saw a lot of legacy play and jumped up. It is currently 30-35. ROI probably similar to an index fund.

Tarmogoyf was probably our biggest 'buy' since our legacy staples. We didn't buy that many (5 play sets). And sold as soon as the price hit $100-120. This we risked due to rumors of 'modern'.

Force of Will, a legacy staple for a long time. 8 years ago we paid ~$10-15 per FoW. Now they're going for ~$90. The S&P is up ~70%, FoW is up ~566%. We bought 20 play sets (80 cards) for roughly $1000.

We're still holding many of our original collection. But, sold off enough to get our original $10k back. At this point the price keeps going up, many cards fall out of circulation (destroyed/lost/etc). The only "risk" is reprints.

One issue is unloading many cards. With stocks I can create a sell order and sell it for roughly asking price. Whether I'm selling $100 of shares or $100k of shares it will go through instantly. With magic it isn't hard to deal with ~500 cards or so. But, once you scale up it is a full time job. If we bought $10k worth of FoW vs $1k we'd have 800 FoW to try and sell at some point. This would take a long time.

You either pay SCG prices to get cards quick. Or you use ebay for a 10-20% discount. But, takes longer and no guaranteed sale.

As far as logistics we each put in roughly 5k and split the original buy cards evenly. Since then our collections have fluxed. He bought/sold a Black Lotus at one point, I never did. He bought individual power 9 cards and sold a 'power 9 set' (5-10% markup) a few times. I was more passive.
This is going to draw a lot of negative points here, but its important to note that the issue of net neutrality is an issue because of the lack of competition in the states.

If BT (largest ISP in the UK) tried to pull any of the stuff that's been going on, they would have been fined, and users would have left in droves. All the major ISPs here in the UK have multiple CDN node on the edge of their network, simply because its cheaper and easier to do so.

The other important thing to note about the netflix vs ISP battle is that it is still cheaper to pay the ISP money to install their own CDN than it is to use akamai(who already have CDN blades on the edge).

The problem in the States is that end users have no choice, and there is no working mechanism for imposing fines on companies that are doing anti-competitive things.

So I'd suggest that net neutrality is actually a side show here, the real culprit is monopolies.

An example that I've bumped into, is trying to buy a decent network connection in redwood city. I naively assumed that it would be simple cheap and quick to procure a 1gig line. It took six months (not for legals but for actual installation), didn't work properly for the first 3 weeks. It also cost 3 times more than the connection in London.
"Digital motor" raised my eyebrow too. Apparently it's this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reluctance_motor

Guess marketing didn't think "Reluctance motor" had quite the same ring, and I'd tend to agree.

I'm really not sure why robots aren't already vacuuming our floors, raking the leaves and mowing our lawns by now.

Eh, they are? It's not like this is the first of its kind. As far as I can see its claim to fame is a more powerful suction device, the other features already exist in other products.
Well, I think this already happened. About half the families I know have a Roomba robot vacuum or a knockoff.

But it's a big step from vacuuming floors to mowing lawns with sharp blades.

I don't personally have a leaf problem, but I would very much like to see a clever window-washing robot. Could be -- would preferably be! -- very slow and small. Something that runs constantly and could go home and charge/clean itself.

A sibling bot could clean bathtubs and sinks (and I would love to see toilets added to that list, but that may be a bridge too far).

I think robot vacuums are pretty established, but fall short of constituting a 'revolution'.
Ha! Hadn’t heard of that number before.

Building really good complex form widgets is hard work. You have to handle ARIA/accessibility, ensure you have support for focus and tabbing, handle lots of keyboard shortcuts as appropriate, etc.

Solid implementations of autosuggest inputs, token input fields, or fast scrolling tables can run into the thousands of lines. Having reusable versions of them would be very helpful for the React ecosystem.
It was a 99.4% overlap in zip codes listed for sale and zip codes listed as having a HD storefront. I think you might want to reread that section.

I have a bachelor's in CS and spent a few years at grad school studying human-computer interaction however I went into the industry instead of finishing my masters. Spent a year as a govt contractor but I've been freelancing for the past 8 months. Right now I'm starting to look for something more permanent (and challenging).

I really love front-end development these days but I'm pretty familiar with the full stack. Living in the Philly area at the moment but willing to relocate pretty much anywhere.
I might've missed something. Where do indent levels come into play? AFAICT Markdown has no concept of indentation.
The main trouble I see with that is that they'd have a monopoly, and that causes all sorts of trouble. When you get down to it, your proposal is basically what we have now, where that group of people that owns the air/water quality is the government. I don't think they technically own it, but given their ability to set standards, fine people for violations, etc. it ends up as more or less the same thing.
The threat of a comprehensive database of everywhere I've been is extremely minimal. There's not much someone can do with that that they couldn't do without it. If some whackjob want to wait for me to turn the corner so he can hit me with a sock full of nickels or something, he's not going to get a database of everywhere I've been over the past two years and hang around the coffee shop that I have an 84% chance of visiting on the third Thursday of odd numbered months. He's just going to look up my address and wait in the bushes outside.
That thing where you tell them your e-mail address and set a password and then it says "We're currently running a beta program. You have been put onto a waiting list. We will let you know shortly!" feels an awful lot like a scam.
Playing a state, in this context, would be securing regulatory concessions and tax incentives from Nevada without any intention of building a factory there. Those concessions could then be used as bargaining chips in the state in which they intended to build the plant.
Three pathways.

1. Money is a means of resource allocation. More money, more resources.

2. War of attrition. Raising costs on the other guy makes settling or coming to some sort of settlement more likely.

3. Scorched earth. GS may be trying to send a message not so much to Alyenkov as to any other programmers who'd be willing to entertain a similar stunt. See recent coverage of Amazon's frequent, but nearly entirely unsuccessful, pursuit of noncompetes against former employees.

In particular, bcantrill's comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7975428

the fact that we had prevailed against Amazon also gave these engineers the confidence that we could and would do so again -- and ultimately, it didn't prevent anyone from matriculating. It did, however, have one lasting effect: the engineer that was pursued went from thinking fondly of his years at AWS to hating AWS and Amazon with a white-hot passion that still burns today. In the end, enforcing a non-compete is like erecting a Berlin Wall: if you feel you need it, you have much deeper problems...
However it should be noted that health and life expectancy are related to one another, additionally the Scottish government has been in control of NHS spending in Scotland since 1999 and health and life expectancy have not improved in that time. Additionally Scotland have spent much more on the NHS (per person) than the rest of the UK, about £300 more, £1750 v £2150.

So if you are voting yes because of these issues you may want to look into them further. Of course if you just want to rationalise an emotional decision then people will assume what ever suits them I. E. London is to blame for ill health in Scotland.
Really, my experience is the opposite. FIX is old, like 1992 old and its starting to show its age. Not that age is necessarily a bad thing, I just wanted to point out its age as your comment makes it seem like an up and coming protocol. My experience is that more and more firms are leaving it.

Its' no longer suitable for market data. Its barley suitable for sending order messages around. And with the explosion of order types and growth I'm not sure that's a valid statement anymore.

Its not anywhere near as compressible as binary formats. Many exchanges and dark pools have already replaced it with binary formats.

What fix does have going for it are quickfix/j and a wealth of knowledge, which will keep it relevant for a long time, but

Good stuff. That's what I like. I've got a lot to learn, and it's better if I get real info and not empty rhetoric.

As simply a learning tool for someone who is immersed in a .NET + jQuery stack every day, how does MEAN compare? I disliked Rails, fwiw. And since I'm becoming reasonably fluent in JavaScript, it seemed intuitive that building my own site from the Node-ground up wouldn't be a bad idea, purely for a learning exercise. Struggling through it right now, actually.

I actually have a reliable indicator as to a comment's value as well. If the person says they have a reliable indicator of a comment's value and use that to dismiss anything the person says (yet still finds the need to post a comment in response), in my experience that's a reliable indicator that the person is no longer saying anything useful and just wants to increase their post count, usually so the account has value when they sell it to a marketing company.

So what's the point in commenting if you don't think my post has any value? All I can come up with is that it makes you feel superior.
Java and .NET offer GC free allocation for such purposes, via their interop APIs. This is also one area that is being improved in Java 9 (Arrays 2.0, Value Types and the new FFI).

But as I mentioned, thus agreeing partially with you, pin/upin could be enough.

The total laundry system strikes me as something that's unlikely to be first deployed in a domestic setting. The initial iterations will be large enough and expensive enough that they'll need to be installed in malls, streets, airports, etc as a kind of very large vending machine: dump your stuff into the chute, swipe credit card, come back in 90 mins.

"Independence would have gotten much more votes"

I doubt this is true. Russians are not accustomised to living in tiny independent states. This is a dream of a few national theorists, to peacefully split Russia into more manageable states with local transparent government, more responsible fiscal policy - but there's not much ground under this idea.

There is no "Crimean nation" to build a successful state on.

Sadly, most off-block small states won't know what to do with their independence and will be forced to side up with some larger state sooner or later.

And tatars are a minority. A significant minority which is at risk of civil war and ethnic cleansings in the suggested independent state. Which they may eventually even win, but I think they seen enough pain already.
I had the same experience. Can't remember the exact model number but it was a normal upright model. That thing was amazing. Shame the wife got it in the divorce :( (heh)

The only things that broke were simple to replace (and pretty cheap to be fair) parts like the hose which split because I over stretch it one too many times. Can't really fault it for that though.

I have had wood floors everywhere now so make do with a dirt cheap hoover but if I had carpets I would buy another Dyson without question. It did such a fantastic job and maintenance was as easy could be.
So what are the cons? For one, it looks ridiculous, like a space weapon from a $300-budget high school sci-fi movie. But hmm that's about it.

And that's arguable. It's also probably not as powerful as you think. You can't use the Dyson handheld for vacuum bags, but any "drag a pod" vacuum will probably do the job. I think the spinning bristles really help to pull things of the ground or out of carpet fibres.

That said, I too have the Dyson handheld and agree, one of the best appliances I own. I really like the soft brush in the extra attachment kit you can buy. Now I can dust and vacuum the dust up at the same time.
I would like to know how this is different from jabber/xmpp and how likely it is that these differences are worthwhile. They say their API is more "pragmatic" and writing a full-blown XMPP client certainly is very tricky but I wonder if improving the way XMPP works wouldn't ultimately create a better result. After all, a lot of thought and experience has by now gone into it.
Its a dangerous game though as young people are unpredictable. I'm trying to find a link to the source but I read recently that the far right Jorge Haider was elected in Austria in the first election after 16/17 year olds were given the vote and the youth vote was a strong factor in his success.

Edit: Whoops this was meant to reply to cstross below as a general point about unpredictable youth voting intentions not the intentions of Scots youth in particular.
Most of your cost-to-orbit is achieving orbital velocity itself. So a marginally lower orbit (LEO is already ~100-250 miles) doesn't seem like it would offer that much in the way of launch cost savings.

Can you substantiate your "much cheaper to launch" statement?
Standardisation doesn't lock it down, it just establishes a central flavour. It doesn't force Github to use the standard. Github can keep using GFM. It still benefits Github and others for there to be a well-defined standard which they can use as a base for defining their own variations against.

Documenting your own Markdown flavour will be easier if you can say "It's Standard Markdown, plus/except these features...", instead of "It's part of the soupy world of 'Markdown', but here are the features that some/all other implementations don't have...".

> He did copyright everything. Explicitly.

I didn't realise that. In that case he can force them to change it if he doesn't like it, right? I don't get why people are talking about honour/decency.

This is the first scroll to navigate page I've encountered that worked for me at all. I can see from the comments that others are not having as much luck. This new trend seems to be a horrible waste of time (for both devs and end users). I hope it goes away soon. The page is kind of cool if it works though.

As for Dysons, my parents are on their second one. The first one still mostly works, but a small clip in the back broke off. It will no longer stand up on its own. I have a small hand held one and it is really quite nice. They are definitely a bit fragile, but when they work they really work well.
> But then these lending firms will ultimately be put under the same regulation as banks

Why would they be? The regulations you refer to aren't about banks-as-lenders, they are about banks-as-depository-institutions which provide the service of absorbing default risk between capital providers (depositors) and borrowers. If given an alternative which provides the capital providers with a service which handles management of the details of lending without absorbing default risk (and without charging a premium for absorbing default risk) becomes popular as an alternative to depository accounts for long-term savings (rather than keeping liquidity as one would in a checking account), why would those alternatives be subject to regulations whose only purpose is to make sure that banks actually do perform the function of absorbing default risk for which they are charging depository customers?

Those regulations only make sense in the context of a depository institution.
I would propose that it did exist as sort of a defacto state of the internet. Only in recent years have the telcos begun looking for revenue grown, leading them down the path of treating their subscriber base as some sort of resource to be bargained off to the highest content provider/bidder, while still charging large sums of money for the customer to have a connection.

My understanding is that almost every US [edit: EMV] card is [edit: going to be] chip and signature.

http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/credit-card-programs/1304271-...

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/lv?key=0Ani-u3tGk5hedGRv...

Edit: clarifying - what I meant was that the US EMV cards will be chip and sig, not chip and pin. Most US cards are obviously still mag stripe. I'm traveling to Europe later this year so I was looking into the CC issues, and as a US traveler not being able to get an EMV card with pin priority is annoying.

Edit 2: jvm, not sure what you meant to link to, but that link just goes to the Forbes splash advert.
