Right, but you're missing the author's point. Smaller lanes make the space feel more human-scale and friendly to pedestrians and bikers. Traffic engineers argue that larger lanes are safer. These studies show there is no evidence of that. Given that smaller lanes are more appealing, and have no measurable impact on safety, the trend towards larger lanes should be reversed, and smaller lanes implemented on new roads.
go ahead, its good to be late then never.
Here is one way:

ls -d /path/to/file_or_dir | printf

This command prints the stack of file objects. The last one printed is at the "top" of the stack and tells you the fields available. You can then print a field

ls -d /gdrive/user@gmail.com/somedoc | printf "%(raw.ownerNames)s"

Sorry, a lot more documentation is needed. Working on it.
The incredible part is, DotA started out as a Warcraft 3 custom map. Hell, there's still a version being maintained by the developers at Valve which largely maintains feature parity with DotA 2.
Ah! You present a great logical argument to disuade one from the point. After all who could be for kiddie pr0n? Regardless of what Ulbricht did what the GOV is doing is where the focus ought to be as its resulting in the ebbing of our freedoms! Thats what this is about not drugs, sex nor monies. Although impossible to prove its likely we are witnessing some form of parallel reconstruction.
> This, of course, is the reason why certain media outlets are able to make lots of money with bi-weekly, likely untrue claims that <insert thing here> "causes cancer".

No, that's simply not true. What actually happens is that media outlets write whatever the hell they feel like will sell, rather than what was in the scientific report. This is far more accurate than your description: http://www.phdcomics.com/comics.php?n=1174

My point is that it's important to through out the telephone game that reports science, rather than the science itself. One shouldn't trust somebody else's summary of a scientific article, it's important to go look for oneself. Since this is a tech website, Peter Norvig should be a familiar name, and he has an excellent example of that here:

http://www.norvig.com/oreskes.html
You summarized already in your sentences ("I'm bewildered by this article. It seems really damaging, and like it doesn't really add very much to the corpus they've already published") how you feel and why you feel that way: it appears damaging because it contains the paragraphs that explicitly contain the words "it's damaging." But it's just a general introduction to the "juicy bits" without the bits themselves.

In fact you recognized this too writing: "it doesn't really add very much to the corpus they've already published." Once you attempt to identify the new information, you can recognize that 99.5% of it appeared in some other form before.

The older published documents already were marked "top secret." This markings are given to the content that is considered "damaging" by these who write the documents. You just percieved it differently because these markings were just markings for you, not the sentences spelling out "damaging."

Still, the value to the public of this very document is that it's a single document summarizing nicely the previously disclosed ones in much less words. By its nature though it doesn't contain the details published previously. (Edit: technically, it's a set of the documents but all of them together appear to me just as a big table of contents for the disclosures already published.)

Now let's discuss the new 0.5% of information, even if it's very general.
Humans are conscious by definition, because "conscious" is a concept we invented to describe one of our properties. Human consciousness is a tautology; questioning it makes as much sense as asking "is blue blue."

It may be that consciousness does not work the way some people thought it did. That's interesting and useful information. But it doesn't change the fact of consciousness.
Hi tubelite, on mobile safari and chrome IOS7.04 with an ipad the keyboard comes up after I clicked on this example command:

I fluxuate with how I feel about it (it = 'machiavellian policy'). I'm not going to defend US policy in this case, nor claim to understand all of the nuances required to make global strategic geopolitical decisions.

But I will say that the NSA's perspective is that: it is only because of the Snowden leaks if we have lost face with allies. To the NSA, the secrets were kept well enough until Snowden and friends disclosed them.

This is my basic issue with this article. America and the NSA ate mud pie for the actions disclosed in the leaks. This article has the very real possibility of doing a lot more damage. One could say it is good because justice has been served, but one could also suggest that it is bad because similar disclosures of German surveillance programs (a touchy subject given the history), Chinese capabilities, Russian objectives etc haven't been disclosed by a Snowden-like actor.

Really the whole situation is bad. I don't like being at war, cyber or otherwise.
Yeah, of the things wrong with SBT, the template for the website was not something anyone needed to spend time on.

And sbt-native-packager is definitely awesome. We have an SBT task that uses native packager to build a distributable for our Akka cluster and then build it into a Docker image, pushing it to our private repo on Docker Hub.
On the other hand, Riot's tournaments account for most of the LoL pro scene. There are tournament games of DotA 2 going on almost constantly, but they're being run by independent sponsors, not by Valve.
TLDR; Secret police do secret police things.
> When it comes to hacking, the attacker always wins. Just playing defense is a losing game.

Firstly, why only hacking? What is true for a cyber-attack is true for a physical attack as well. Both sides lose resources in both types of attacks.

Secondly, the reason for defending something is because something is worth defending. If it has been defended in an unsuccessful attack, that is a win.

And thirdly, the thing being defended often includes a higher-moral-ground. Resorting to attack is a definite loss for the defending party.
> I'd play LoL if one player per team could play as the minions...

DotA has a few heroes you might be interested in! Chen and Enchantress have the ability to take control of jungle creeps and use their abilities. Enigma, Broodmother, Visage, and, to a lesser degree, Lycan, Beastmaster, and Brewmaster have abilities which summon multiple controllable units. Illusion-based heroes like Naga Siren, Terrorblade, and Phantom Lancer which can create temporary copies of themselves. And, of course, there's Meepo.
I think in this case we are dealing with a discrepancy between what people think they want, and what they actually want. I wouldn't be surprised if a fair number of people try this once, but he might have trouble getting repeat clients and I have concerns about how helpful, outside the most narrow niche cases, this will be.

I'm a counselor, and going into the field I naively thought that straightforward evaluative statements were central to what therapists did. I thought that what people needed was "objective" feedback on their situations, and I thought myself ideally suited to providing it.

You can imagine my shock when I found out that "direct, reality-oriented feedback" is one of the most ineffective forms of intervention, and leads to a significant rise in client dropout. In other words, people don't like to be judged, however politely or compassionately, and it doesn't help them (1). People need love, not honesty - especially when they are going through troubles which are likely already causing them to question themselves.

The one exception is, as jtheory noted above, within the context of an already established attachment relationship, in which mutual respect and affiliation is already firmly in place.

In general, the best interventions are those which, rather than telling the client "what they need to hear", compassionately lead them towards the acceptance of what they more than likely already know. But it must come from the person themselves, and in their own time - that alone is what damns or saves.

Addendum: The research also reflects my experience. My internship was as a career counselor at a university and the most common client I saw were students about to graduate (often with little to no work experience) expecting to immediately get prestigious/lucrative jobs. I remember one philosophy major in particular who stopped by to see me 3 months before she graduated, whose only work experience was as a manager of a strip club and who wanted a 60k + job writing children's books right after she graduated. I told her, as kindly as I possibly could, that her expectations were more than likely unrealistic. Not only did I tell her but I sat with her and searched through the job ads for the position she wanted so she could see for herself what the requirements were for those positions. She left in a huff and I never saw her again. In fact, not a single client with whom I took a "brutally honest" approach did I ever see again. However, when I took a questioning approach, the difference was night and day.

This sounds more like memories than consciousness. Even planaria can remember the best path to get food.
I don't know what this article's chances are of making the front page of HN -- late Friday evening is not a great time -- but it should. It bears on everything from how to pitch investore, to Peter Thiel's observation that there seem to be fewer big scientific breakthroughs in recent years.
I think the article is targeting more arterial streets that have 12-foot lanes (e.g. one-way, two lane streets). Not highways running through cities, which are not "streets".

From my experience, few cities have four lane highways running through them - and if they do, they are grade-separated from pedestrians. In cities where the four lane highways are at grade with sidewalks along them, this is a different case. Those roads are hopeless and should be subject to complete removal.
To clarify I mean that I don't believe it adds much to the corpus of information about domestic and civil rights infractions.

On the other hand it deals a pretty big blow geopolitically/internationally.

The big deal about this article is that it reveals the major tactical capabilities and efforts the NSA has invested in the intelligence war.

Edit: Right now HN is limiting the number of replies I can initiate. Will reply as I can.
Police Act Furious About Encrypted Phones but Still Love Them. Here's Why
He didn't own the server though, did he? I thought it was leased.

Yes, you are correct. Upon rereading your hypothetical, I realized I interpreted it incorrectly.

Of course, it doesn't mean that such evidence would be especially compelling to a judge or jury in those circumstances, but that's a separate matter.
Oh my god, they melted my heart. Those are the cutest kids possible. I loved how the chef integrated balloons into the meal :)
This used to be the case in League too back in Season 2 (so a bit over two years ago), that it is no longer the case is very much by design.
If your excuse for doing plainly immoral things is 'geopolitics is important', where do you draw the line? Your excuse can be used to justify pretty much any form of self-serving barbarity. How about if we just don't do evil shit and deal with the lack of an ill-gotten advantage? Works well enough in everyday life (assuming you aren't a mafioso). Why hold people who work for government agencies to such a pitifully lower standard of decency?
Drugs like testosterone allow you to lose fat mass while retaining muscle mass. Drugs like clenbuterol help you shed weight and metabolize fat more quickly.
You can mouse over a point on either the map or the graph to highlight the corresponding point on the other. Based on that, the spike in late November appears to represent the main army rejoining a group that split off during the outbound march.
The document titled "ECI Compartments" is interesting:

* It's possible work out the geographic region of certain compartments based on the organizational code attached to it.

* The redactions in the "Control Authority" column are variable size, possibly even proportionate to character length.

* The fact that document was merely classified "confidential" is odd.

* I was able to identify[0][1] all but one item listed in the "Organization" column.

The sole item that eluded identification was "S0242". It is listed alone under two compartments. I couldn't find anything on it; one can only surmise it is something within the Signals Intelligence Directorate (probably something boring, despite the mystique).

The argument presented here is almost identical to the one by Doug Hofstadter first in his book "Godel, Escher and Bach" and later in more detail in "I am a Strange Loop". In other words - consciousness or the subjective feeling of experiencing qualia, is the brain's recursive interpretation of its interpretation of the external world.
After you've done that, in combination with sidewalks, you have effectively created a pedestrian-only street above the cars.

The cost of that is immense. Why not just make the surface (ground level) street more accessible to pedestrians, and keep the businesses where they would prefer to be?
> In DotA (if I'm not mistaken) the teleport limitation is not the same, so the pressure is not the same.

If anything, teleports are more limited in DotA. Teleport scrolls can only target allied buildings, or a small area around them. Boots of Travel can also target allied units, but are rather expensive, and thus typically only seen on certain heroes which particularly benefit from them (especially Tinker).
> The big deal about this article is that it reveals the major tactical capabilities and efforts the NSA has invested in the intelligence war.

It does? What is actually new and specific I fail to see. But it's a really, really nice summary.
Another not so widely known fact is the history of Jewish population in India. They predate their settlement in Europe. If you visit Cochin, Kerala you would find one of the oldest synagogues there, inlaid with beautiful porcelain tiles imported from China, all hand made and hand painted, and hence unique - a must visit.

People make a great leap of generalization when they make the case for anti-semitism (I do dislike that word, it does not mean what it literally means) to be a uniform phenomena. It was categorically lacking in India. In fact many a Indian not so educated in world history would go "Huh!" in bewilderment if one makes such a claim. I find many Jewish people in US are unaware of this history, particularly the right wing kind.

I remember attending a Jewish student gathering organized to mourn the death of a Mumbai Rabbi killed in the Mumbai terrorist attack. Us new Indian students left with a lot of head scratching because of the strong singular rhetoric that permeated the gathering. It was that of Jewish population being persecuted everywhere (hinting that the same is true in India and in particular was true for the Rabbi) and the need to stand up, resist and confront that. Not a word about others who lost their lives in that terrorist incident.

It was a bit awkward. No ill feelings, just a bit of head-scratching "OK, if you say so" bizarre.
Holy shit, of all the subs you could've mentioned. SRD is incredibly biased in certain topics, they ALWAYS brigade the subs they are against, and have the most awful crowd of the site. Seriously, the whole metasphere is incredibly toxic.
Or no. If they can prove that was the silk road server, illegal activities were being facilitated by it, and DPR was accessing and managing it then I don't see them needing to prove he owned it(which it seems he didn't because it was leased).
Yeah, I've seen them claiming that the captcha wasn't leaky, which well could be the case. Having looked at the config files and logs now, the Feds account seems somewhat shaky. They were hitting the PHPMyAdmin page and authenticating, but didn't mention this, which is very iffy. It sounds more like the "typing in miscellaneous entries into the username, password, and CAPTCHA fields" wasn't exactly 'miscellaneous' so much as using some kind of a targeted exploit that they used to get the machine to leak enough to pwn it pretty well. Ulbricht was not nearly as skilled as he gets credit for, his machine had leaked the IP on the login screen in March and May, and his notes show he was scrambling to patch bugs, but if the Feds. had gotten PHP dumping $_SERVER or something just by fuzzing they would have mentioned it which makes their account suspicious. So that's in the air.

On a separate note, there are two separate cases against Ulbricht, one in New York happening now, and the other Maryland (which is where the contract murder charges are). So he probably does need to be very cagey about any claim of ownership of the server given that this isn't the only trial he faces. As I understand it, while the claim wouldn't be admissible as evidence in the NY case, it could still be germane to the future case.

It also means the "Fruit of the poisonous tree" issue could be mitigated even if the NY case is dismissed, given there's different evidence and claims presented in the MD case, and some of that evidence is not tied to the IP leak at all.
I had not heard of the Downs-Thomson Paradox, thank you very much for sharing it.

After reading the article I have to point out, from the "Restrictions on validity" section, that it "only applies to regions in which the vast majority of peak-hour commuting is done on rapid transit systems with separate rights of way".

So for most cities outside of NYC, this paradox supposedly does not apply (even though I feel it has some bearing).

Regardless, the general principle behind the paradox is induced demand (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induced_demand) - which, regardless of the share of transit users, will always apply to highway projects.
There are two kinds of commands: Javascript commands (like ls, cat) and scripts (ps, kill, man, csv2js, table2js).

Currently, Javascript commands have to be built-in at "compilation" time. (I need to add a load command which will evaluate a new JS command inside the pigshell closure)

Scripts can be anywhere in PATH.

There is an rc mechanism for doing exactly what you want. At boot time, we run /etc/profile, followed by /local/rc.sh - this is a file saved in the browser's localStorage. Mine is very simple:

HOME=/home
mount http://localhost:50937/ $HOME

You can create it simply by

echo "HOME=/home\nmount http://localhost:50937/ $HOME" >/local/rc.sh

or running "edit /local/rc.sh". Edit provides a simple inline CodeMirror-based editor (actually even the CLI is a CodeMirror editor instance). I use vim on the desktop to do any serious editing. If you run psty, /home is a desktop directory visible inside pigshell, so edit on desktop/run in shell is a low-friction process.

If you manage to mess up /local/rc.sh to the point where pigshell is not "booting", then you can boot it in "safe mode" by appending #norc to the URL, i.e. http://pigshell.com/#norc
Sorry to burst your bubble, but the reason Kenyans dominate at long distance running is that their national ADA (anti doping agency) doesn't enforce the rules.

Responding to “How's it going?”
The server wasn't in the USA and from all the information I've read they claim the relevant foreign interests cooperated with them in obtaining the server image.

And I'm pretty sure they would have had NO trouble getting a warrant in the USA if they had a credible lead on the SR server. And any credible hosting company would GLADLY cooperate to the fullest extent with such a warrant. Generally hosting companies do not care what you're doing on your server and won't get in the middle of disputes UNLESS:

A.) You're doing something illegal

B.) Your actions pose an untenable threat to the network or other customers
Seriously?

A degree proves ones ability to learn.

Because sunny weather improves peoples mood, just look around you when it's raining and cold, people are glum and looking down a lot, while on a sunny day you see plenty of people smiling. Good mood means you feel better and perform better.

Second, your muscles are already somewhat warm, so you feel powerful right from the start instead of having to warm up for ages before you're ready for top performance.

Also, your training or just going for a run is not at the same intensity as running a marathon as a race. You run shorter distances or lower intensity, meaning the stable body temperature at marathon pace and distance is a cooling body at training pace at the same outside temperature.
They also, y'know, cost a ton.

1 - coffee is not a placebo, caffeine is one of few ergogenic aids that's been often proven to have real benefits via double blind trials.

2 - if you legalize drugs then you require drugs (of anybody who wants to be competitive). Literally all professional cyclists use all the drugs they're allowed, and some they are not. On terms of caffeine this takes the form of a megadose towards the end of a race delivered via a "finishing bottle", which is a melange of caffeine, sugar, and painkillers.
Charles Minard [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Joseph_Minard] contributed amazing work to several fields, information graphics most notably.

Charles Minard's map of Napoleon's disastrous Russian campaign of 1812.
The graphic is notable for its representation in two dimensions of six types of
data: the number of Napoleon's troops; distance; temperature; the latitude
and longitude; direction of travel; and location relative to specific dates.

Fantastic work. Thank you. It's great to see in-situ.
In NC, it's the law to stop for pedestrians in a crosswalk.

That said, I'm not sure how the chicken/egg situation worked out but I'm appalled by how pedestrians walk across the street. They just go without looking up from their phones.

The crosswalk by my work has added giant signs and flashing lights and you still see people blow thru at 40+ (speed limit is 25). I'm not sure if I'd be alive if I didn't look both ways before crossing. On the other hand, judging by how mad people are when they stop and you don't cross because someone else isn't stopping, it might not have been much of a gain.
Funny you mention "running around all day like rats in a maze" as I have a good friend that just did an Amazon warehouse tour this week. He's the CTO for a company that runs several warehouses and he commented on the fact that the pickers were actually quite slow compared to what his pickers and others he's seen do. I was surprised because I too had read many times about how the warehouse pickers have to basically run everywhere all day.
