Thanks for sharing your story. You might have guessed -- your local librarian was not unique in her feelings about privacy.
I worked for my county library all through high school and college. When I started they had an ancient mainframe circulation system, and was there when they migrated to a newer java based system. With both systems, it was a paramount requirement that records of a patron (library term for customer) checking out a book be destroyed irretrievably after the book was returned. Even in the case of overdue item resulting in a fine, after the fine was paid, no record of the circulation or even what the fine was paid for was kept. Slips of paper printed with patrons' names and phone numbers when they put items on hold were dutifully shredded every day.
At one point during school, I considered the library as a profession, and as part of my research I subscribed to a "technology in libraries" listserv, and followed it for about a year. This was soon after 9/11 and the advent of the Patriot Act, when the most pernicious implications were that the feds could look at library circulation records. (Little did we know!) Many libraries were proud that their technology specifically prevented this. There was also a constant and ongoing philosophical conversation about how to make more information freely available, and make access to it (including Internet access) anonymous, and further to resist efforts by law enforcement to use libraries to gather information on their patrons or regulate access.
I cannot think of an institution that defends the freedoms of thought and expression more passionately than the public library.
How about static responsive breakpoints for the grid, instead of being 100% fluid? And with that, a maximum width?
Nice work; I dig the not-having-to-do-anything approach.

One thing -- hovering the demo button seems to affect elements underneath: http://goo.gl/9vD0D2
The San Diego Unified School District, like most large school districts, universities, even transit systems, in the US has its own police force - this is going to a police department... they have 54 officers, so its larger than many small town departments by a good stretch.

Also, whether there's a military presence in the area or not is irrelevant to their needs - the military doesn't provide tactical support in law enforcement actions.

I'm not taking the position that it's a sane use of resources or a necessity (I don't think it is)...

They moved the Korean encodings at one point in the early 1990's. Luckily this was before anyone used it, but it was still a big mess. I don't know why they had to move it.
>The fact that the Tesla S has pretty much beaten all cars in their class shows that there must be quite some room for improvement in that area.

I like your comment but this seems like a total non sequitur? Are you saying that if it's not a multiway tie for the best in something, then that implies there "must be quite some room for improvement in that area"? Or how do you get to this conclusion?
People turn away from those that Preach "Everyone that does X is evil, and will go to hell," then are found out to be doing "X." Then they claim that they are not going to hell because they are the exception to the rule.

Doesn't even have to be around religion. Rush Limbaugh laughed at the idea that addiction was a 'disease' until it came out that he was an addict. Then all of the sudden it's a disease, with no apology to all of the others that were decried as stupid/wrong/etc over the years.
Couldn't you use Bootstrap's "customize" feature and just downloads the components found here? Doubt it would be much larger.
>"Most KPIs (traffic, revenue) are too volatile on a daily basis to be useful. Yet “last 30 days daily” is more or less the default option."

YES! If you're building a dashboard, don't answer the question "what data do I have?" or "what does the brass say this should be?" But instead, get out and talk to users, find out what data is most important to them, think outside the box, throw some different ideas out there and see what sticks with users.
This sort of thing always reminds me of the description of the wright brothers and their mainstream competitor: Samuel Pierpont Langely from Simin Sinek's TED talk: http://www.ted.com/talks/simon_sinek_how_great_leaders_inspi... . We've hit a tipping point in SV culture where we mostly just hear about the modern Langelys, but there are plenty of Wrights out there, toiling away in obscurity, driven only by the promise of solving a real problem.
I don't think it's misogynistic to see that marriage is terribly risky for men in particular.
Also, what about a Less/Sass version so the HTML can be even cleaner by using just mixins in the Less/Sass to build the grid.

One advantage of iPS (induced pluripotent stem cells) is the lack of rejection - these are derived from your own fibroblasts.

I initially wondered if these would grow connections to the optic nerve, and it seems that in the mouse model they do [1]. "Researchers observed that the cells seemed to develop normally, integrating into the existing retina and forming the nerve connections needed to transmit visual information to the brain."

I'm curious to know if these are expected to develop into normal retinae - including the macula densa and fovea centralis - or if they instead provide peripheral-equivalent vision throughout, even at the center of vision.

I have not read 2312 yet, although it is on my list. As for most of his other works, he explores ideas of immortality and such, but only in the context of humans. He explores what happens in a society where humans live forever, without all our weaknesses, idiosyncrasies, and quirks. He also presumes such biologically limited humans will remain the dominant species and their tribal power structures the mechanism effecting change. That makes for good storytelling when your audience is regular old humans. But not very accurate predictions.
I would make the shadow inside the input boxes lighter when the box is selected. It doesn't fit well with the green outline.

Probably the tail is very important to reduce the drag coefficient, but it makes the car painful to park.
Yes. But, with VPN it looks something like this:

Me -> TOR encrypts data -> VPN encrypts data -> data goes through tunnel -> VPN decrypts data -> TOR encrypted data passes through first node -> TOR encrypted data passes through relay node -> TOR decrypts data as it passes through the exit node -> swish nothing but net

This gives protection from the ISP and from the VPN provider -- I have to trust neither.
If it's from Afghanistan, there's no ocean there to drop it in. And they don't want to leave it for bad actors (as witness ISIS allegedly using captured ex-US artillery pieces).
Is it still the case that USB causes heavy CPU usage? Even if there was enough bandwidth for 4k video, it'd be a drag if it meant pegging a CPU or two to 100%...

How much time would this save the average customer? Seems like setting up on the existing platforms are pretty easy already, and rackspace already has an auto deployment option.
I hope it's fixed now, I forgot to re-test that bit after a .1em change I did
I always thought the idea was that these things are loaned to local governments on the condition that they can use them until there is a need to send them back into combat..
I don't want to speak for the op but the fact that the first model designed by a company that did not exist until recently is currently leading all offerings from the rest of the 100+ year old industry in drag coefficient does to me intuitively indicate that there is some room for those competitors to improve.
I don't have experience with CSS preprocessors, it's just after Laravel in the list of things I want to learn. Sorry about that.
My High School mathematics teacher introduced me to this book 6-7 years ago. Erdös was a hacker in the Mathematician's world. His throughput for establishing hundreds of conjectures and proofs reminds me of collegiate Hackathons in our programming community. This book might make you fall in love with Mathematics, or at least provide an undeniable appreciation for getting shit done.
Recycling a perfectly useful vehicle like that is better than throwing it away for nobody to use. It's a used truck with superfluous armor.

It had a low drag coefficient, but there wasn't much of a practical design to maintain: "the car is so tall that a stiff crosswind could send it careening to the side."
I love Optionals for this.
I'm not completely sure of what you mean with static responsive breakpoints (I'm not English native), could you clarify please?
> People are putting their own desire for a "cool" piece of hardware ahead of any rational justification for it relative to its costs.

They are being told by one of the most powerful federal agencies (DHS) that if they take it, they are helping defend the country against terrorism (that was the goal of the gov program right?) then offered equipment at massive discounts. I can imagine some small-time local school exec or police officer would love to sit down with the big boys in DHS and feel important, then get to pat themselves on the back for making "their community safer" by simply writing a cheque.
Semantic UI is also a great alternative. http://semantic-ui.com/

But again, in a professional setting I would prefer Bootstrap any day. It looks well done, it's easy to customize, and it has a lot of pre-built components.
Here's the deal.

If you work for an agency like the NSA or ONDCP as either a contractor or a full-time employee, and you're aware of a program like this, and you do not act to disclose it to the press and/or subvert it, then...

Hell, I'm not even going to finish that thought. If I do, it will seem redundant to someone with a conscience, and legally actionable otherwise.
Your proposal sounds like a wish-fulfillment fantasy for founders who want to skip the hard part.

I'm skeptical that you could generalize the process. But even if you could, it wouldn't make any sense to offer it as a service to startup founders, because you would then control the biggest value creation step. They would be nothing but idea sources, and ideas are worth very little. Instead you would just use your fantastic process to churn out your own products, possibly paying small royalties to people who come to you with good introductions & ideas.

Or let me put it another way: every angel fund, startup accelerator, and VC would love to have a magic way to "quickly and accurately determine if an idea is on the right track". That's what they spend all their time thinking about. Do you really think they're missing something obvious?
Very nice. Only one thing really bothered me: it's really hard to tell when the radio buttons are selected. I much prefer a full circle when selected
The Germans were really keen on aerodynamics for surface vehicles in the 30s; trains too! Here's some video footage of the Schienenzeppelin (propeller-driven diesel train) during it's preliminary 1930 test runs:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-ID_ktSoLY

(Part two of the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZY7PIIV0nIs )

It later set a 143mph land speed record for a petrol-powered train, although it didn't exactly catch on (in no small part due to safety concerns concerning the passenger-mincer at the back). More here:

Many universities do, I know for sure UCLA does, although the course it is taken by other engineers as well so many case studies are from other areas. The closest one to CS at the time I was taking it was about Intel's floating point fiasco, but it did not sound as bad as others because it did not affect people's lives.

Hopefully they'll add recent NSA scandal to the syllabus.

No regrets about postponing indulgences. What seemed so desirable as a youth has lost its appeal with age.

I program about the same amount of time now as when I was last paid a salary back in 2006, i.e. about 40 hours a week.
As I said the very sentence before, the goal was a smooth integration, but your mileage my vary. Restated, I know it ended up sucking, but that wasn't the goal.
I really like it! It's more with the Picnic philosophy of naming classes.

> Please keep in mind I spent two and a half years building this game as a side project, so make a serious offer.

I hear you are stressed out by dealing with the resulting success of your game and are willing to shutter it to save your sanity. I also hear you want someone to 'take you seriously' in making an offer for the game. Those two statements, if I am hearing you correctly, are in direct logical conflict with each other and may lead to causing you more suffering. The technical term is cognitive dissonance, literally believing two things at once. In your case you appear to hold the opinion that the game is worth something and you must be paid for it to release it, yet you thinking about continuing to manage it will lead to a loss of sanity. Resolving this logical dilemma sounds impossible, unless someone pays you a lot of money or you really intend to shutter it.

I would suggest that if you intended to shutter it because of suffering reasons, you would have already done so by now. That may be related to the fact those-who-create live to do so. I am one of those people! If that is the case, you must face the fear of continuing the game's existence.

Attempting to face a fear you are capable of facing will help move you forward past this event. Perhaps Open Source it, or take the other suggestions offered in the thread. I appreciate the fact you took the time to tell us about it. Creating brings joy.

Remember, your suffering is your choice. Only you can reduce it. Only you can wake up in the morning and be grateful you are here in this reality and then attempt to reduce your suffering by facing your fears for the day. Nobody else will do this for you as we're all trying to do it for ourselves each day. Best of luck to you, my friend; today is the first day of the rest of your life!

And they probably are.

What if US spies on German citizens, and Germany spies on US citizens and then they both exchange with each other what they have learned?
Implementing a Job Queue with Node.js
The problem with the graph is that the non-uniform spacing over time obscures facts that are very relevant to interpreting the data. For example, if you look only at the "married couples without children" bar, it has remained basically constant since 1970. If you take the "married with children" graph by decade and drop the intervening ticks, you get:

1970: 40.3% - 1980: 30.9% - 1990: 26.3% - 2010: 20.9%.

There's a large decline here, but notice that over half of the decline happened during the 1970s, and then the rate of decline slowed significantly before accelerating again between 2010-2012.

When I look at the data, the conclusion I draw isn't "Most Americans are single, and that's changing the economy", it's "In bad economic times, young Americans delay making major life commitments like marriage and children, and the 1970s and 2010 are marked by significant economic uncertainty." In other words, BusinessWeek has yet again confused causation and correlation. But the latter conclusion is something that's already been widely reported and shouldn't come as news to anyone who has any 20-something friends.

German intelligence services are not sovereign .. In fact the USA runs all German intelligence services by proxy and has done so since the end of hostilities. Until there is a Peace Agreement, Germany doesn't have the right to its own intelligence services. This is true even still today.
I think some of it is "worse than what": we were on HipChat, and it was not very nice, but at least they made an actual OS X application and allowed one to customize its behavior on my machine. The Slack "app" is just a packaged version of WebKit and has almost zero customizations. Worse of which is that there isn't a per-channel setting to hide images by default, since I've had no luck getting folks to stop posting animated gifs into the general channel. I'm not at work right now in order to speak to the specifics, but the Slack app doesn't handle that situation correctly at all.

And the notification is merely a red dot. Oh, you only want the red dot if you're at-mentioned or someone posts in your team's channel? Too bad.

If you just distribute your site's webpage as an app, you're phoning it in. And that is why I want a chat company to use XMPP so that I can use Adium to manage my interaction (or lack of it) with the chat service.

I'm glad you like Slack. I'm sure they're going to do well, given how many folks sing their praises.
From what I've heard, proximity to camp pendleton results in many authority positions in SD being held by ex-marines. Administrators at the school district probably had a hard time seeing why anyone wouldn't want an MRAP cruising around a high school
Of course it would "work" in the sense that taking away people's freedom to eat unhealthy food would generally make them healthier. That doesn't make it right to do. It would also "work" to chase fat people around with sticks all day. I don't like the idea of restricting people's personal choice to force them to be more healthy. If I, fully informed of the consequences, want to buy soda and twinkies, I should have the full right to do so and not have it made economically unviable due to ridiculous fees and taxes.

I assume you are referring to 2000. I am very much a newbie in this stuff, but think that the "story" from the OMB outlays/receipts data (which is what this is based on) is only part of the story. For example, I read somewhere that some were arguing that this "surplus" in that period was not a good thing in some respects. There's a lot to learn.
Ah I see, it looks like there are different ways you can bring out the brand messaging, so long as you have the right people doing it in front. There are tones of founders out there that don't have much charisma, so I guess using Adam would work, and for those that have charisma, they can probably use themselves and have Adam and his team in the background... Whatever works for the teams involved.

Well except for single females, which stays pretty steady at near 14-14.9% from 1980 on. To me those kinds of misses are due to this graph.
Um, what? I didn't mention anything of the sort. How did you hallucinate all that from my comment?

There are clearly misogynistic comments there including saying that all American women are "entitled, selfish babies", etc.

Unless you're here to defend those kind of comments, you're barking up the wrong tree.

Also, if you were the one who downvoted my comment, thanks for that other knee-jerk reaction made in ignorance as well.
Definitely looks like it has a lot of functionality!

A few quick comments because I've only looked at it for about thirty seconds:

1) Not really a huge fan of the Bootstrap UI - I know it's practical, but it always just looks a bit amateurish to me, as if it's a first prototype before there's been chance to pay for a proper designer.

2) The interface is a bit frenetic - not overly keen on the purple highlight strips appearing as I drag new blocks about.

3) The "customize" menu on each block is terrific though - very nicely done and useful.

Good point, there are a lot of bad ideas out there. But, even the best ideas/products are not what they started out as, they involved pivots and market changes. Was this due to luck, or were the founders fundamentally committed to creating a business that adds value vs. simply in love with their "great idea"?
If the US Gov't wants to unload these things, how about donating them to the UN for their use, while giving the US Gov't a credit toward back dues?
Of course, before it was taken by the government, that "public wealth" was private wealth, and the taking of that private wealth was also justified with fear.
Those colors are way too bold.
That sounds silly. Ethics is subjective. When you teach "This is wrong." and the student replies "I feel it's right.", what do you say? Unless you have some ethical framework plus a good reason to follow act according that framework, you operate on the level of subjective feelings and opinions.
Sure thing! I like the overall concept a lot.

> Can you please elaborate on this? Do you mean sort of personalized dashboard?

No... I just want a way to filter people quickly by 'wants to learn' and 'wants to teach'. At first, I don't really care about the details of the person except for that info. So a table that can be filtered with some javascript would be great. Especially if you used something like chosen: http://harvesthq.github.io/chosen. That way, I can both see all the options as well as get autocomplete.

The idea is just that I want to know right away whether or not there is someone who I can help, and someone who can help me. Otherwise, it's a waste of time for me to register. It's like a dating site... I'm not going to register if there's no one available, in the hopes that the site will become popular later.
They really advanced the automotive arts in that era.

Here's another great example, the Mercedes T80: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercedes-Benz_T80

It was designed and built in 1939 to achieve 750km/h and very likely would have if it the war hadn't interrupted its development. It had rudimentary traction control and wings that generated downforce using the ground effect!

That 750km/h design target wasn't surpassed by a wheel driven vehicle until 2001!
