Oh no, VP A, B, and HR lady are mad. How do they expect to "make life difficult" for you? Realistically, there is not much they can do. I wouldn't worry about it unless an actual action is taken.

As for the bonus? Unless you are contractually bound to return it, tell them the money's spent and to write it off.
Why nobody bothers to fix the ugly (i.e. misaligned with modern day design guidelines) out-of-the-box Telescope theme? I see a bunch of sites popping up with empty hopes to build new communities with a domain and little effort?

Newsbeuter - 'Mutt for RSS' - fast, most-lightweight, self-hosted on Raspberry Pi. This is after trying TT-RSS and Miniflux (post-Reader). Both decent, but neither as appealing. Miniflux is very attractive, I just prefer the speed of Newsbeuter. Plus using the window/pane arrangement of Tmux with it is always fun. The less is more suckless movement very much appeals.

Why not? As a tourist in Holland, there is absolutely no reason to drive a car. If you go to Amsterdam, there are a lot of interesting cities within 45 minutes by train. Even Groningen or Maastricht are within less than 3 hours by train (which is too far to do fore one day, but if you book a hotel over there for 1 or 2 nights is perfectly feasible)

Traffic in downtown LA, NYC or even Rome is worse than Amsterdam, and I'm really glad that I never had to drive in places like Vietnam or Cambodia. Sure, driving in Amsterdam requires you to pay attention but it isn't that bad.
> Case in point: The social security surplus the U.S. ran when the baby boomers were young will be really useful as the baby boomer start retiring. That money ended up being spent just like any other tax dollars.

This is a bit deceiving, as it makes it seem like Social Security surplus has been spent. The liquid money may have been spent, but it was spent to buy treasury bonds for the Social Security Trust Funds [0]. When a deficit is finally encountered, those bonds and their owed interest will be used to pay obligations.

I do understand that this is a bit of hand-waving, as it's basically the government buying IOUs from the government, but it's an important note when talking about Social Security and its solvency.

Costs are exactly how it works, the "randomness" of mutations notwithstanding. Becoming airborne is not inherently an advantage for ebola - if the costs outweigh the benefits the virus with said mutation will not survive to replicate enough, thus the mutation will lose out long term.
Oops. Missing the "along with client-change denial" part in the parent comment. Nothing else comes to mind. Crichton identified himself as an advocate of science, not the opposite.

This speech is the other notable place Crichton made specific scientific comments. It's possible he's wrong about some of his claims, but he approaches them from the point of view of a rationalist:

How to build better/quality software faster?
I been writing codes for years now and a few days ago I saw a video about building 30-Story in 15 days(http://goo.gl/vLFI7X), this got me thinking that the way we are building softwares is old and a new way should be available for fast, customisable, and scalable software building.

Let's talk about web. For example using Bootstrap, and AngularJS for front end, and Django for backend speedup the process but even that is slow.

What do you think? How do you speed up your process and what kind of tools are you using? are we going to see something in the near future that would change how we would build software?
I'm not disagreeing with the decision at the time. Merely saying that the key was not that it was at the OS level. The key seems more that the rest of the details were in place. (If that makes sense.)

That is, if you were to want to build something like that today, I would remove "at the OS level" from the primary constraints in building this solution. Granted... depending on the rest of the requirements, it is highly possible one might go sans OS and just have an FPGA solution. Odds are, though, that would be overkill and more restrictive in possible solutions than necessary.

This is precisely my thought on microkernels. At face value, what is there not to like? In practice, the idea seems overly restrictive and makes it very hard to do some things that you sometimes wish to do.

Actually commutativity doesn't hold either, because of dealing with NaNs (at least on x86, on a quick search I can't find a reference for whether this behavior is part of IEEE 754 or just implementation defined). Operations with two NaNs will give the first operand. You can see this with a quick test program:

#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
unsigned long long bits = 0x7FFC000000000000;
double x = *(double *)&bits;
bits += 1;
double y = *(double *)&bits;
double z = x + y, w = y + x;
printf("%llx %llx\n", *(unsigned long long *)&z, *(unsigned long long *)&w);
}

Of course, this probably doesn't matter for most applications.
I think you're making a distinction that isn't one. One must necessarily operate on their subjective assessment of objective reality.

I'm not going to take a poll or ask a lawyer every five seconds as I try to decide where I need to be.

You are, either way, subject to others disagreeing about what is reasonable; and either way, you should seek to educate yourself about what is empirically safer behavior (for reasons much more important than a ticket).

Why would someone need/want to use Qt by not dynamically linking the library. I've never understood Qt's business model or what I can and cannot do with it. I just use pyside on my pet projects.
You've gone from mentioning a behavior that you have observed on a few occasions (cyclists apparently deliberately blocking a road, with help from a car - most likely some sort of race training) to stipulating it as the norm, which is clearly not the case. This is like the false premise of the poster above that '[s]ince bicyclists want to own the lane, they'll ride to the outside.' You're both taking examples of the worst behavior by cyclists and generalizing it to encompass all cyclists.

Incidentally, I don't own a bicycle and haven't for a long time, nor am I any fan of rude or irresponsible cyclists, whose existence I happily acknowledge.

I have spent quite some time and effort (failing) to get an open source company into open source contracts in the UK government. Bu I want to because things like the GDS (grand father of USGDS) are saying open source is the future of government

And this is one more tick in that argument - what YC is doing is industrialisation of startup founding - and now they are "open sourcing" the how to, I would think that any government not stealing these ideas and throwing money that otherwise would languish in bureaucratic purses is missing a huge opportunity.

Thanks for your comment :)
IEEE-754 says that the result “should” be one of the two input NaNs. A platform could choose to e.g. take the NaN with the smaller payload to make * and + commutative, or it could simply define away NaN payloads entirely.
The first few parts make a pretty good pipeline preach. Two interesting points about pipelines are the concurrency and the difficulty to handle errors (at least without cluttering the syntax), which are often missed by newcomers.
You're confusing "spreads via an exchange of body fluids" (getting sneezed or coughed on by an infected individual would be included in this category) with "can survive and therefore spread via the air without any direct contact with bodily fluids" (walking outside of your house and breathing). You can't even call that a "semantic" distinction without coming off as really dishonest considering it's a totally different infection vector.

Anyway, I'm just arguing the points I've heard made by ACTUAL VIROLOGISTS. Read: PhDs who have been studying this exact behavior in viruses for many years. They've all said the same thing: theoretically possible, extremely unlikely.

What makes you think that because it's inside the CS department it's limited to engineering students? At Stanford any student can register for nearly any class.
It's not my call to make. It's the call of the numerous individuals who are infinitely more qualified than anyone reading and posting on HN. People that work at places like the CDC and have years of training and experience researching the effects of viruses like Ebola. They're all saying not to worry about that.

Even if they strongly suspected it will become airborne (based on something other than theory), do you think they'd just announce it to the public like "oh, hey, btw..."? Can you imagine the hysteria that would cause? Not "a bit" like another poster suggested. The effect of the hysteria could very well be worse than what the virus might cause on its own. It's really impossible to know, that is why we take measures to prevent getting worked into a highly irrational hysteria. These measures would include things like listening to qualified individuals and not ignoring the rational points they are trying to make to you.
The Code from Ipanema’s not working
I've run high performance code on QT without any problems. The DLL bloat is a bit annoying though there are ways to reduce the size of them. However, QT makes threading and concurrency so simple (and cross platform) that I wouldn't go with anything else.

We just switched our system to Linux to avoid Windows' awful file IO and the code compiled (as expected) without a single change. Love it.
Court believes that the decision was materially correct, but oral arguments have convinced it that the supposed urgency isn't there.

If you combine the new Moto X with the Moto Hint you essentially have this listening only to you.

That would enable you to say "OK [Moto], Launch Instagram" and it hear you regardless of people around you (specifying that due to a follow up comment you've already received).

You can already say "OK Google [Now], [Open|Launch] Twitter" and it should work.
This is generally true, though occasionally parasitoid relationships are selected for (where there's a fitness advantage to killing off the host). Though these relationships typically only occur with an r selected host (many offspring, low probability of survival). Thankfully however humans are very heavily K selected (few offspring, high probability of survival).
Recommended as is.
We're not saying having kids is the dumb thing to do. Kids are great. Kids with smart, caring parents are even greater. What we're saying is there are consequences to being careless with birth control. An unplanned pregnancy can be traumatic both emotionally and financially. People who want kids should think about when they'll have the bandwidth to raise them. If you want to spend your 20s raising kids, then by all means. If you're not thinking about it, and behaving carelessly, then maybe this article will make you wake up.
This is great, do you have a trip report? I've been using Haxe for a while, but have done precious little WebGL.
If what you say is true, then it would be monumentally self-defeating behavior from all involved. I can see why game theory might suggest various threats might make sense at this point, before the vote, but after the vote has taken place, it would no longer in be in the UK's simple economic interest to maintain that stance.
If you missed it or can't watch, Boeing and SpaceX both received contracts for commercial crew missions to the international space station. Boeing will receive a contract for $4.2 billion for development of its CST-100 capsule, and SpaceX will receive a contract for $2.6 billion for Dragon 2.

The contract specifies between 2 and maximum of 6 missions (each), and includes the certification process. Each contract has the same requirements.
Law does not work that way. Even if it did, this law allows for the existence of narrower gaps if the motor vehicle lowers its speed.
Looks amazing. I like how people are adopting Haxe and making all this cool stuff. Awesome work, thanks for sharing.

If there were no tax on capital gains and income, which is the whole point of a consumption tax, businesses would have an incentive to distribute much more of their retained earnings to shareholders. Part of the reason war chests have gotten so big is because dividends are disadvantaged to capital gains in the current tax code for many classes of investors. It's not totally clear that the scenario implied by innguest's comment was one of taxes on capital gains and income being removed, though. Keeping (a) income tax, and (b) tax on capital gains/income, and (c) adding a consumption tax, while removing the corporate tax on profits, doesn't seem like a particularly attractive scenario, especially as compared with moving completely to a consumption tax (which is the most favored tax among a consensus of tax economists).
One thing that is different is that there is no "shared container" - data is serialized to the Intent bundle (an IPC mechanism that basically is just a bag of stuff), and the context that you receive the data in, is your app (with your file permissions, security keys, etc), not a tertiary one.
NASA made a great decision here. They encourage competition and cooperation, and can support 2 companies at a time rather than create an artificial monopoly. They chose a long-term option rather than putting all their eggs in one basket, which would be cheaper for them now but less interesting for future developments.

I could not have said it better myself. My motivation is actually the opposite of yours. I prefer not to stay in one place for more than 6 months or so. Of course I've stayed longer but I do like to move often.

EDIT: To clarify a bit more. It really has to do with how much a value being able to move whenever I want. If I have a job that requires me to be in the same place everyday, I feel constricted. This often leads to resentment and poor performance.
I've been happy with Digg Reader for a long time now. (well, since Google Reader shut. That feels like a long time.)
the problem is not this . the main problem with Qt is , it is not standard C++ library (or framework or toolkit or whatever you name it). All the moc crap ! made it useless .(yes I know , with hacking(or with little changing) it you can use it with other library like boost or anything .
but in my mind this is not right way to do thing !

for example look at which one google chose for chrome in linux (before aura).Google chose gtk++ (which is much inferior than Qt in any ways , and as far as I am aware Qt licence was not issue with chrome) , but it is standard !

It's not just a problem in Silicon Valley.

I recently ran a survey of my local startup community in Western NY and 47% of the software startups in the sample said that they intend to pursue venture capital financing in the next two years (with angel funding a distant second). It's likely that 99% of these startups are in for a rude awakening...

Unfortunately, many of these startups blame it on our local funding environment (or lack thereof), which pales in comparison to SV. I blame it in-part on the startup media over-hyping the role of VC in financing an internet company. Many of these startups could turn into profitable small or medium-size businesses, yet they've been brainwashed into thinking VC is the only way to go.

It's sad because they could boost our local economy if they chose to spend their time pursuing a more reasonable financing path that is better aligned with their business model and resources instead of wasting their time pursuing VC.
You're mostly right.

The console var is assigned the result of an immediately-invoked anonymous function (http://benalman.com/news/2010/11/immediately-invoked-functio...).

The result of this function is an object which contains the console functions (log, warn, error, etc). Moreover, these functions only exist inside the scope of the anonymous function, so the only way to access them is through the returned object. This prevents the global namespace from being polluted.

So when you call console.log('hello'), you're applying one of those functions in the object returned by the anonymous function.

> e. Introduce a bicycle tax, so motorists can't lord around the idea cyclists are freeloading roads - Maybe

This seems like a particularly bad idea, especially given how low taxes are on gas in the US. In some states it's even subsidized.

In general most countries (US included) are giving large tax breaks to hybrids and electric cars, so I think we should be going in the opposite direction: no sale tax on bikes, free tubes, lights and high visibility vests to commuters. I think some cities in Europe are already giving away commuter kits.

If car drivers understood how little they are paying into the maintenance of roads especially with respect to how much more damage a car does to the Macadam compared to a bike, I don't think they'd keep seeing the cyclists as freeloaders.
Looks interesting. IMAP is a pain! We spent months trying to get really simple stuff working for a mail client we're building (http://www.sortd.com). Actually, to be accurate it runs inside Gmail because it's more of a way to manage email rather than a standalone client, but we still need to connect to the mailbox itself via IMAP. Started using context.io, which was useful, but they went kind of wayward from their original vision.

What about performance though? Things like search are almost just not viable with IMAP - WAY too slow - we find ourselves having to hack the Gmail DOM to do things we should be able to do directly via the mailbox.

Seems to me that IMAP needs to be updated or replaced. What do you think of the new Gmail API?
These things happen and it sounds like the company is being jerks about it. Your offer letter will cover the conditions under which you have to return the signing bonus. It may or may not be pro-rated but usually if you quit you do have to give it back. And yes, you have to return the whole amount, when you file your tax return you will get back the withheld taxes in your refund as the bonus will no longer be part of your compensation on your W2.

The whole black listing / smearing thing is mostly just talk. Given that they are that smarmy, others will know that about them as well. Having the 'award' will certainly put the question of who has the sour grapes out there. And hey it has given you some manager types you don't want to work for again. It is always an option of the company to walk you out the door once you decide to move on, that is more common when the company is worried about how your leaving will impact others, but I know of at least one company where it is standard policy.

The only risk of talking to a lawyer here is that they will get all excited and try to get you to take some action. Generally you have to ask, what is it you want? To complain? put a comment up on Glassdoor and move on. A lot cheaper than paying an attorney.
