And, to go one step further, the Viking settlement on the northern tip of western Newfoundland, L'Anse aux Meadows.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/71/Territori...

The Newfoundland base was likely inhabited for only about a decade before being abandoned, but included such features as iron smelting using bog ore near the site.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L'Anse_aux_Meadows

Each hop was a five to nine day sail for a Viking ship: from Scandinavia to the Faroes; from the Faroes to Iceland; from Iceland to Greenland and then; from Greenland along the coast of Labrador to northern Newfoundland. The Greenland settlements being the permanent populated base to set up the forward base in Newfoundland.

Among the abundant evidence of a much warmer climate at the time, Viking era graves in Greenland are in permafrost. There is no way they dug those in permafrost back then. Digging in cement would be easier.

It is unclear why the Vikings abandoned Newfoundland, though their own accounts suggest that they didn't get along well with the locals.

My own theory is that the only tradable goods the Vikings had that the locals would have wanted were iron items, which the Vikings absolutely wouldn't have wanted to trade (their own accounts say that was strictly forbidden). However, the locals would have been rich in furs, which were extremely valuable in European markets. If you have the element of surprise and superior weapons, along with a rich target, the temptation to raid and steal would have been overwhelming. Raiding and stealing, in turn, would have generated a reaction from the locals, who would have made a sustainable, long term settlement untenable/unprofitable for the Vikings stretched well beyond the limits of a supply line.

After the great human migration out of Africa tens of thousands of years ago, the strands that went to Europe and the strands that went to America finally briefly connected about 1000AD. However, it wasn't for another 500 years that those strands permanently intertwined.

From Wikipedia[1], "In the past 540 million years there have been five major events when over 50% of animal species died." So if your measure for bio-diversity is the number of unique animal species, it dropped by half at each mass extinction event. The events only reflect a drop in the diversity of animal species as this is an "easily observed, biologically complex component of the biosphere", so the overall change in bio-diversity could be lesser or greater.

I recall reading that myspace in the super early days used to have prostitutes and cocain at their Christmas party.
We currently use the following pattern:

interface ConsumerE<T, E extends Exception> {
void accept(T t) throws E;
}

This actually works! The type inference is good enough to figure out the actual type of E.

Note that Java 8 also includes specialized wrappers like RuntimeIOException. So it might be nice to extend your example:

static <T, E extends Exception> Consumer<T> wrapped(
Function<? super E, RuntimeException> wrapper,
ConsumerE<T, E> consumer) {
return (t) -> {
try {
consumer.accept(t);
} catch (RuntimeException e) {
throw e;
} catch (Exception e) {
throw wrapper.apply((E) e);
}
};
}

Used as follows:

Consumer<String> printer = wrapped(RuntimeIOException::new, writer::write);

Yeah, we already see this with exit nodes having "cautious" policies about not allowing ssh, smtp, etc.

Being able to advertise some kind of filtered outbound on specific higher-risk traffic types so you can offer those at all might be nice. I'd have no problem offering ssh to an opt-in whitelist of destinations.
Minnesota's requirement, since early in the 1990s, that all custodial interrogations by police be recorded on videotape felt like a disaster to police departments when it was first proposed, but now it is generally liked by all participants in the criminal justice system here.[1] On the whole, expecting any confession to a crime to be on videotape is just normal life here now, and everyone has gotten used to how the system works. There will be legal issues to decide if body cameras become commonplace about whether those are turned on by default, and how discoverable (and by whom) the videotaped records are, as the article submitted here reports, but this is just the kind of issue that courts and legislatures are equipped to deal with, especially if you the citizen make your point of view known. What's new here is a technical means that for the first time can massively reduce the he-said, she-said disputes that have come up in complaints about police conduct. Having more evidence to evaluate according to the law of evidence and in light of other legal rights of citizens and responsibilities of the police seems like a generally good idea.

Excellent advice! Thanks for the comment!

In my case, I have a pretty good sense of who my customers are, and I'll be reaching out to them in person on the phone or through my networks. So mostly I just want to make it so that when I call them up and tell them who I am, and they immediately check out my website, it doesn't send up red flags.
He said similar negative things about Unix in a 2004 interview with Slashdot.

"I didn't use Unix at all, really, from about 1990 until 2002, when I joined Google. (I worked entirely on Plan 9, which I still believe does a pretty good job of solving those fundamental problems.) I was surprised when I came back to Unix how many of even the little things that were annoying in 1990 continue to annoy today. In 1975, when the argument vector had to live in a 512-byte-block, the 6th Edition system would often complain, 'arg list too long'. But today, when machines have gigabytes of memory, I still see that silly message far too often. The argument list is now limited somewhere north of 100K on the Linux machines I use at work, but come on people, dynamic memory allocation is a done deal!

"I started keeping a list of these annoyances but it got too long and depressing so I just learned to live with them again. We really are using a 1970s era operating system well past its sell-by date. We get a lot done, and we have fun, but let's face it, the fundamental design of Unix is older than many of the readers of Slashdot, while lots of different, great ideas about computing and networks have been developed in the last 30 years. Using Unix is the computing equivalent of listening only to music by David Cassidy."

Your CV doesn't matter. What matters is your approach. Pick companies you want to work for. Research them to death. Imagine a dream role at that company, one where you're generating enormous value for that company while enjoying yourself immensely. Find hiring managers at that company. Pitch them. Listen carefully, refine your pitch. BE PERSISTENT. Until you have a job you love, hit everyone once a month.

Your resume plays virtually zero role in this whole process.
It's worth pointing out that Vladimir Vapnik is the inventor of Support Vector Machines. The short version of what he's done here is he's come up with a way of formulating them that allows him to make use of extra information at training time (that is not available at test time).

Yes, perhaps you should bow out.
These identities are numerical results. Your integral example is not really the same sort of identity.

Most interesting things about number theory are only proven or even approached by these deep methods. I sometimes say that the history of mathematics is mostly about finding ways to not do number theory.
Representing "this language has operators" as the complaint about haskell is a bit disingenuous. It is that haskell has way too many operators. Operators are fundamentally unreadable, even if they are nicely writable.

Creating a website for a business that isn't a website isn't work. It's attractive because it looks like work and is so much easier than the real thing.

In most of the world's businesses customers don't give a shit about your website. They care about your product. And if the business isn't generating enough revenue to build a website, that's a sign that either the product isn't viable or more productive channels for finding the first few customers aren't being adequately exploited.

If sales are occurring but they don't support hiring out a website, then the pricing model is wrong.

Good luck.
That would probably be more prejudicial than probative, because the photos would be out of context. Better would be something continuously recording video on a loop that saves an extract spanning any firings of the gun.

Outside of action movies, though, I doubt many officers shoot people or other targets that they are not looking at, so a head mounted camera would probably be sufficient for almost all practical purposes.
It would be quite interesting to know which topics you find this happening. I don't tend to see this kind of toxicity on SO. I'm frequenting C# and .NET. Maybe Jon Skeet drags the C# community up to his level!

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance (MPAA)

Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.

How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate, (NINJAVIDEO)
I am the captain of my soul. (#FREEDOM #NSA MAGJIC )

Your reasoning seems quite confused, and you do not present any support whatsoever for the accusation that my claim is incoherent. You seem to be arguing against they very idea of reductionism, that we cannot isolate compounds that are harmful from what they are part of ("foods" in your example). There are countless cases where we have done this; quicksilver, lead, and other heavy metals come to mind, lots of carcinogenic substances &c. &c.

> Or rather: it makes no sense to be concerned that a steak will be deadly because it contains a constituent (cow) that is deadly.

It makes a lot of sense. If a cow has been fed with food that was contaminated with a carcinogenic substance, the resulting beef will be unsafe.

Your comment focuses on food safety, but my main point was to stress that food safety is already regulated thoroughly, while the use of chemicals such as discussed in the article is not regulated at all.

As I've matured and grown in my technology career, I've found procrastination pays enormous dividends with only small drawbacks.

Procrastination pushes you to wait to do a task until you find the optimal amount of time you know you need left, while doing it in the most relevant environment.

For example, If I code or design something to early it is more likely that research, marketing or product direction could have changed, causing a percentage or all of my work to become moot.

However, If I wait to do my work until I know I have just enough time left, I find my work is the most relevant and least likely to require changes of substance due to shifts of other parties.

I whole heartedly advocate for procrastination due to this. Its a beneficial decision making response that we should stop fighting.
TBH it was 2003 and I'm a little light on the actual details. As I remember it it was to work for the FBI but now that you mention it it is more likely that I would have been acting as an agent.

If you include "look", you can gamma ray bursts[0] to the list. As summarized in the wikipedia article, gamma ray bursts were originally discovered by the Vela satellites, which were looking for nuclear weapons tests in space. They discovered multiple bursts of gamma rays, coming from outside the solar system. Some of these bursts (the long ones, longer than about 2 seconds)) are now know to be associated with supernovae, while the origin of the short bursts is still uncertain.

> In particular, we answer the question "What would the user like to do?" and not "What does the TLS protocol allow the user to do?"

This makes me think of the laudable approach taken by the developers for the Cryptography library for python. Expose functions to users with sane and safe settings to users, and provide the abilities to override the defaults if you really must (but in such a manner that it's extremely clear that you're stepping into dangerous territory)
My impression is that it depends on what your startup needs. If it's really just business side help then the "cool" one might be a good fit, but if your product isn't where it needs to be, then not having time to improve it may not be the right fit for your company.

Otherwise, the difference between 5% equity and 0% isn't going to determine if the company makes you wealthy. Hard odds is that they are both worth exactly the same in the long run because to a first approximation all startups fail.

The reason to take investment is to grow. If you need people to grow, then the one that best facilitates that may make the most sense.

Good luck.

Replying to myself because I forgot two aspects that messaging services handles poorly: Scheduling and prioritization.

Scheduling is important for jobs, but not events. Prioritization is useful for both. But RabbitMQ doesn't even support assigning priorities to messages.

Scheduling can be done with RabbitMQ by having a cron job that publishes a job message. But that means you're statically tied to a cron configuration. A more flexible configuration would let clients post future jobs to a special queue (or queues, perhaps organized by "daily", "weekly" etc.) that is read by an external scheduler app that reschedules the messages into the proper worker queue. But this stuff gets (unnecessarily) complicated fast.
In the middle of the talk, Pike said that the idea of a workstation in every office was one of the stupidest things he'd ever heard, but then decided not to digress and explain why. Has he discussed that at length in any other paper or recorded talk?

What little I've seen were using pygr these days. I still love Perl, though. Maybe if $_ and co had 'friendlier' names people wouldn't be so put off? I don't know, I think it simply allows for too complex a syntax and that can allow people to make 'write only' code.
I think maybe you're misunderstanding me. The deep methods are interesting, but these numerical results are just 'meh' to me. These results aren't proven at all by deep methods.

These numerical comparisons are very, very different results than something like, say, the prime number theorem, which is basically the opposite. It can be conjectured with a pocket calculator, but requires deep methods to prove. These results can be proven with a pocket calculator, but can be discovered via deep methods (but also via trial and error).

> The big problem is: what happens when a cop comes out on a call and there is clear photographic evidence of a crime being committed (very likely, considering the sheer number of things that are technically illegal)? When there is clear video evidence of, say, possession of paraphernalia, assault, public intoxication, or whatever else, it suddenly becomes a lot easier to pick on citizens

Worse, if these routine recordings leak, or if they are available to the public under freedom of information requests or something similar, then every time a cop lets someone off who they could have arrested someone will find a reason to criticize that. If they let a white person off, they will be complaints that they would have arrested the guy if he was black. If they let a black guy off, there will be complaints that they only care about stopping crime in white neighborhoods. Let a woman off with a warning on a traffic stop, and there will be complaints that a man would have received a ticket.

It will not take officers long to figure out that they are a lot better off if they arrest every one of these paraphernalia possessors, publicly intoxicated people, and so on that they see and let the courts sort them out. No one will be happy with this.

Wasn't "Perl 6" just a tentative spinoff from "Perl 5.6", and didn't Perl programmers start unofficially refering to subsequent versions of Perl 5.x as "Perl x", i.e. Perl 5.7 as "Perl 7" and the latest version as "Perl 20" ? Better make official how Perl programmers are speaking anyway and call the next version Perl 21.0
