Airware (YC W13) is building commercial drones in downtown SF
Airware's next-generation commercial (non-military) drone platform extends beyond flight-related hardware and software. Giving drone operators online access to data, video, and images is a critical element of transforming drones from flying robots into viable business tools. We have multiple opportunities to play a leading role in architecting, implementing, and deploying an innovative web-based management system that is tightly integrated with sophisticated autonomous aerial technology.

In regards smallpox there were multiple strains circulating at any point in time and some were more deadly than others. Which ones spread at any point in time depended on both chance and the particular selection conditions in the population. In populations with high levels of immunity (either natural or acquired) the more mild strains tended to spread, while in populations with low levels of immunity the more lethal strains would tend to spread (lot of complicated reasons for this).

Your general idea is correct though. Just because a disease has been in a population for a long time does not means that it is harmless, not are all new diseases dangerous.

These things are what can be made of them. "Just woks" isn't controversial either. But, in a context that you demonstrate (1) this thing is possible (2) we can do it, here are examples (3) It's a priority to do this thing other people will just pay lip service to.

Controversial or not, mottos become cliche, doublethink lip service unless they don't become those things.

All the business school bullshit: missions statements, code of ethics, motto, synergies, teamwork, a culture of innovation, etc etc. All that stuff is actually real, it exists and it can be very helpful. It's also uncontroversial that it sounds like bullshit because the people saying it most often and loudest are bullshitters. It's like listening to a priest who read 'Become a Spiritual Guru in 30 Days or Less' and went at it.
Most C++ platform ABIs are pretty trivial to recognize. A tool like this could distinguish a C++ binary by looking at its initialization/housekeeping sections, static constructors, __cxa_atexit, exception handling tables, linked libraries, etc.

For example, the Itanium C++ ABI (http://mentorembedded.github.io/cxx-abi/, perhaps Itanium's only real legacy) adopted by Linux/ELF and other platforms, leaves a huge amount of fingerprints on a binary. It'd take a very conscious effort, including hand-crafting linker scripts, to generate a C binary that a tool would incorrectly think was C++.

The government/foreign operations had basically shut down Ebola earlier in the epidemic. But there was an atmosphere of conspiracy theories associating the operation with the outbreak of the disease. Ebola cases went underground. The foreigners had started to pack up and go home when it reemerged.

Exact opposite experience here: after three months in a range of smaller towns and larger cities across South India I found the ubiquitous idli, vada, dosa menu horridly repetitive.

Reading the title, I thought it would be a post about TDD. I don't do TDD, I wish I had the time and resources and I am moving toward adding a more test-driven approach. Adding unit tests to my key libs allows me to move fast without breaking anything (for the key libs, our test suite is stupendously comprehensive).

Of course, during new feature dev this luxury isn't always available. The next best thing is to do a phased rollout where our users become our beta testers. This works really well because users can switch to the non-beta version through the menu bar very easily.

There are other strategies for moving fast without breaking stuff, but these two provide easy, big wins.

Yeah, the article mentions in passing that it could be artistic choice. The observations at the end, where it appears it might be more natural to take the "wrong" stance when holding a running pose is probably the main reason. Couple this with the fact that painted art is fiction (and thus not that concerned about the details), so many painters primarily use other paintings as reference and its not hard to see why this error could survive so long.

Compare this to the portrayal of guns in film for instance, or the sound in space. The survival of the erroneous portrayals in both the case of painting and film probably have very similar explanations.
> It's interesting to imagine a world where there was no legal recourse to someone not paying back debt [...]

I think it sounds scary. If I enter into a contract that says I have to do something in exchange for something else, I'd like a court to honor that contract, and not -- somewhat arbitrarily I'd say -- declare debts in the contract invalid after seven years.

Imagine no one being able to issue debt with a maturity of more than 7 years. That would be the consequence of such an interference into the market. This means our economy as a whole would become even more sensitive to interest rate volatility, as you can't secure the interest on a loan for more than 7 years at a time.
I don't know what Github uses, but where I work, we do screenshot testing. We have PhantomCSS[0], which is a helper on top of CasperJs that visits pages, takes screenshots and compares them. There are a lot of other tools, Huxley and Selenium come to my mind, that do the same stuff. Even Facebook[1] tests this way.

I think you've missed my point.

Your "sound judgement" argument is orthogonal to my "being able to reason about fundamental data structures". I doubt most people will need to manually re-write list operations. Most people will need to reason about fundamental data structures.

Ultimately I guess I just find it impossible to believe that basic coding skills are no longer relevant to a large number of commenters here, and that using a "but I can find it on teh Googs" is a reasonable response to "please write a few lines of trivial code that operate on a trivial, but fundamental, data structure".
Freelance in japan?
Is anyone here a freelance developer in Japan under a self-sponsored visa? I hear of people doing this for teaching English occassionally, but I've rarely heard of doing solely software development.

Basically, I've been in Tokyo about 4 months working at a small startup. Its absolutely not a so called 'black kaisha', I'm not required to work over 40 hours a week or anything, yet I have to admit I'm really not of fan of the office life. Before this I was working remotely in America for an American company. At first I was excited to be in an office after being remote for so long but I quickly found myself exhausted having to come in everyday and be around people everyday. I'm dying for a little more freedom, a little more time to myself, and a little more time to work on my own products.

I’ve read that its possible if you can present contracts and prove you are making enough money, and are already under a working visa. I am currently under an engineer visa of course, but its been less than a year. I am not sure if that is a problem. Also I am not sure if it would required to have clients that are in the country or not. I am not too worried about actually finding enough work, just getting my paperwork in order so I can stay here. And no I am not going to get married quite yet. :)

Should I try to tough it out for awhile? I know it hasn't been long. I don't feel like things are improving much though.

Sorry if this seems like an inappropriate place to post this, I usually post on gaijin oriented forums and get a mixed response of light trolling and legitimate answers.
> As other people pointed out, this solves a non-problem: if i don't want to be liable for a fraudulent purchase, i just use a credit card, not a debit card.

The video never claims to solve the problem of being liable for fraudulent purchases.

The video claims it solves the problem of having only a single credit card number, and having to change the credit card number on file with all your web services (PayPal, Apple/Google, various subscriptions, etc.) when you get a new card, because it expires, or when one is cancelled because someone snatched your card info.
There is just no way this is true. I mean there must be millions of examples of it done the right way from all throughout history. Picking a few awkward examples without context does not constitute research. I would expect this paper to get a barely passing grade from a high school teacher.
The most important rule of sail trim is to avoid turbulence on either side, __especially__ the leeward side. Laminar flow on the leeward side means the sail is deflecting air on that side as well, generating a "pull" in addition to the "push" on the windward side.

This is the reason why sails usualy have short strips of canvas on the leeward side - to see if there some turbulence or not. Turbulence depends on sail convexity, it can be changed too, not only sail angle!
I think the real point to take out of this is how important it is to have secure backups of your encryption key. Making sure that the encrypted data is backed up is common sense. Backing up the encryption key is just as important.

If I were to lose my encryption key, I would absolutely expect to lose my data. That's how encryption works. That's how encryption should work. If I can get my data back without the encryption key, someone else can too.

That product is Navdy and the guy in the video, Adam Lisagor, is indeed the same guy in the Final video. Lisagor's company Sandwich Video (http://sandwichvideo.com/) produced both videos and countless others for startups, many of which he has appeared in.
The statement "it's wrong to harass people for entertainment" is much less ideological to the extent that (i) you do not immediately jump to conclusions such as "you must be a pro-peace rather than a pro-lulz person then" or (ii) people do not make statements such as "any person who cares for [important thing X] must support the case of [entertainment rather than boredom || giving people peace of mind]"

Ideology starts when you automatically view an instance of a decision on a particular topic as a person's disposition towards that topic, and automatically view a person's disposition towards one topic as a reason to put a label on them and ascribe to them dispositions towards totally unrelated topics.

A non-ideological stance can consist in noting that, while many occasions have shown a co-occurrence of sexism-related idiocy and trolling, they are not the same thing (see Lennart Poettering being harassed for non-sexist reasons), and hence we have multiple angles of attack: combating the trolls through effective lawful action (which is a bit tedious, but still what OP thinks should be done when the guy in person has a well-known track record of harassing people in ways that frequently go beyond what's funny or harmless), combating people's willingness to act on behalf of trolls (e.g. reddit and 4chan's ban on personal-army type posts), as well as acting on the polarizing issues that make people more prone to get drawn into these astroturfing-initiated conflicts (which is a hard thing to do).

Do we have a moral common ground to do any of this? Absolutely. Even if we suspend contentious arguments and ideological blame-shifting.
How can a society that places by far the biggest emphasis on getting as rich as possible as fast as possible, no matter how, achieve anything else than barbarism? In the 60s we were still bent on showing that we're better than that. Not any more, now it's just everyone for themselves. We grab what we can and call anyone who opposes our way of life a Terrorist®.

every child (and every parent) is different.
Spice-"lite" (ie., the less spicy part of sambar etc.,) are introduced as early as 1 year. Kids essentially eat the same food as their parents by age 2, even if they are still hand-fed by their mothers (sometime even up to the age of 5).

(speaking as a South Indian).
I'm told that as a toddler, even as a baby, I loved nothing more than spend time by myself. My mum would put me to bed as a baby and instead of falling asleep I'd just stare at the ceiling for hours on end absorbed in my own mind.

This behaviour continued when I was older. I would spend most of my time running around the backyard and getting into all sorts of trouble without much supervision. The only thing I remember from those times are that I was deadly afraid of the very big steep hill that formed a natural border on one side of the yard, the upstairs balcony that had no railings, and the wooden stairs that lead upstairs.

I imagine those fears were instilled by my parents to keep me safe. Those areas were dangerous to visit on my own, so naturally they made me so afraid of them, that I wouldn't dare even get close.

It worked out pretty well. I have never had a broken bone in my life and I learned to be fairly independent early on (for instance, I would walk to school every morning for about 1km on a road without sidewalks when I was 7 years old)

>The trains will be designed and built to be capable of fully automatic operation. When the trains first enter service, they will have an operator on board. We would only consider implementing full automation following extensive engagement with our customers, stakeholders, staff and trade unions.

We are committed to having a fully-staffed Tube network, on hand to assist customers and ensure safe operations. Given our existing train fleets, all drivers currently working at London Underground will be able to continue to drive trains for the remainder of their careers.

And so, the battle lines are drawn. They seem keen not to annoy Bob Crow and the unions too much, considering there's an election next year. I'm sure he'll react calmly, like he usually does.

EDIT: whoops, he's dead apparently.
Great photos (although possibly not showing those kids' typical breakfasts, but something they came up with for the photo session), somewhat boring text. But my gripe with this article is mainly that it's the year 2014 and a famous US-based publication would have the means (financial and technological) to produce something that would live up to the expectations raised by the title: representative dishes from many more than just a handful of countries, not a few shiny pictures for a 10 minute read, but instead something that could actually be used a reference and at some point become a publication of historical value. The TIME article linked in the comments does it much better.

tl;dr - sad times: hyperbole everywhere and "fast food" journalism. Someone ought to do it properly.
That's a great idea to have a minimal POSIX distribution/environment, which contains only POSIX commands and functions (as well for portable C program testing). Is there something like this around?

Including comment from the RMT Union about how they are "deeply concerned" about driverless operation, the "lethal and cash driven nonsense of removing drivers"

Well... driverless operation may be "cash-driven", and TFL s often focusing on savings over performance (e.g by removing staff from ticket and information booths) but "lethal" sounds like a slur. Driverless trains work well enough on the DLR in East London, and are probably an inevitable step in 21st century London.

Not surprised. The North Indian compatriots who die to eat Idli, dosa etc., get tired of it soon after they land in South India (after a week or so)...

However, an actual south indian person does not eat the same things over and over again. As someone mentioned above, the menu rarely repeats over the course of a week, even 2 weeks.

Even if the base dish (Dosa) repeats, the side-dishes can vary wildly during a month.
