Having done such flights multiple times, here is my suggestion. You will be absolutely brain dead so take dumb monkey work. :-) Do your GTD weekly review. Clear your inbox. Etc.

Having told you that, however, there was a 15 hour flight (Emirates LAX - DXB) when I wrote a 40 page ebook. I couldn't sleep so I just banged it out.

Also, most sane airlines have power outlets. Sane = carriers that are non-U.S. It has been a long time since I have flown an American carrier. So don't worry about power.
And, ideally, make the notification contain text that makes the application's ongoing behavior completely clear, e.g.

"Your Internet browsing and application usage are being monitored by EverAccountable, and will be reported to <email addresses>."

If the application's intent is indeed to keep its users "accountable", then surely reminding the user that they are being tracked, and by whom, should only enhance this purpose.
And making the units even more alien doesn't help when you have to look them up and after an exhausting search find out they are imperial/metric and have to convert further.

The preservation of and digitization of records is probably more important than the family tree project.

So many records are completely lost/destroyed during wars over the years, hopefully having proper copies/backups made during this relative lull will prove effective.
Correlation is not causation, and correlation does not logically imply causation, but correlation is evidence of causation [1] which in a looser English context could be taken as a sort of implication. Many correlations aren't worth digging into, but others are, so you can't just dismiss all of them outright with "correlation doesn't imply causation."

The point you're glossing over is the kids have no representation in the local city council. Yeah, people go on making laws and claiming they know what's best for children, but no one ever bother to ask them. In another extreme case, some adults entirely dismiss the kid's perspective claiming these issues go over their head.

This didn't turn into a gentrification issue as it is very much a class struggle issue from the beginning. (And as such, a gentrification issue.) Kids don't have money to pay to play, so they can't even share the field?
This is a great idea and I think the future home router should provide a switch button to switch between normal mode and TOR mode.
When the iPad is just laying around you can turn of the screen, the cpu, and the gpu, you can't turn of the ram. So while the power consumption of the ram might be negligible when the iPad is in use, it might be the majority when it isn't. So for usecases where the iPad is only used for a few minutes every hour double the ram might cut the battery lifetime by a third.

Also I'm pretty sure the 32.5 watt power consumption represents the maximum, otherwise that thing would overheat without a fan.

The only way I can keep my MBP retina happy when using it with an external Thunderbolt display is:

1) before plugging into display, open lid and wait for login screen to appear

2) before unplugging display, open lid and wait for laptop screen to turn on (normally I keep my laptop closed when connected to the display)

If I deviate from this the laptop crashes or goes into some odd state.

Crowdsourcing marketplaces offer unique advantages to researchers that are simply impossible to achieve with traditional methodologies, here's a few:

1) External Validity:
Today, almost all research labs in Universities have to source their participants from their respective undergraduate population. Studies suggest that the results gathered from 'convenience samples' cannot be generalized to the general population. That is, the results from experiments conducted on 19-23 year old Stanford undergraduates may not be representative of the general population (http://www.mccombs.utexas.edu/research/~/media//Files/MSB/Re...). MTurk offers researchers a more diverse subject pool in age, geography, language, and culture. (https://ccrma.stanford.edu/~jieun5/publications/2012-icmpc-m...)

2) Cross-cultural and International Studies:
Conducting cross-cultural research though traditional methodologies requires dealing with differing national requirements for protecting human subjects;variation in data collection processes in primary care practices; data transmission among participants; duties and tariffs on necessary instruments; fluctuation in currency exchange rates; incapacitation of coinvestigators; complex administration of funds; financing the additional, legitimate costs of collaboration; sustaining strong personal relationships among coinvestigators; and accepting longer time frames than would otherwise be expected. (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1466730/). The diversity on Mechanical Turk facilitates cross-cultural and international research at a very low cost (labs.yahoo.com/files/mturkmethods.pdf)

3) Faster Theory/Experiment Loop:
One implicit goal in research is to maximize the efficiency with which one can go from generating hypotheses to testing them, analyzing the results, and updating the theory. Ideally, the limiting factor in this process is the time it takes to do careful science, but all too often, research is delayed because of the time it takes to recruit subjects and recover from errors in the methodology. With access to a large pool of subjects online, recruitment is vastly simplified (labs.yahoo.com/files/mturkmethods.pdf)

Traditional researchers have raised questions about the quality associated with the data collected from participants. The empirical evidence strongly suggests that the quality of data collected from mturk participants meets or exceeds the standards associated with published research (http://www.pomona.edu/Academics/departments/psychology/files...) (http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjourna...). Evidence that Mechanical Turk is a valid means of collecting data is consistent and continues to accumulate (Mason & Suri, 2012)

Disclaimer: I'm a crowdsourcing technology advisor to the department of Psychology at Vanderbilt University, VizCogLab, and UVic Center for Autism Research. I'm also the co-founder and CEO of Cognilab Technologies, an online platform that allows researchers to publish their experiments on mturk.
Thanks for this! I didn't know it existed. It might help me enjoy the mechanical aspects without the angst of politics. ;)

Someone needs to take an editor to that article. Was that supposed to be English?
In my eyes WPF's advantage usually boiled down to:

• databinding (which it shares with most other things coming from MS; I think even VB had it; interestingly enough, it's somewhat absent everywhere else)

• decoupling behaviour from visuals

• somewhat related to the last point: templating

Especially the last two are what makes WPF awesome. Databinding is just the glue that's needed for the other two to work awesomely. Being able to say »I want this to work like a ToggleButton but look slightly different« (and keeping all the behavioural logic in place without needing to reimplement it) and »I define how my data will look like in terms of the same containers and controls that I build my UI with and (usually) have no performance disadvantage« are the things that are really nice. I take a collection of things, databind them to a ListBox, use a DataTemplate to control how each of them looks and am able to use normal controls in said template that can interact with the data and are not just images pasted onto the UI (like in Swing or Android). And all that without the need to write a single line of code that moves my data from code to UI (or back).
I'm going to simplify things so if you want a more complicated answer I'll oblige.

Okay so in a simple model of the market you have buyers, sellers and market makers who are supposed to step in when there are buyers but no sellers, or are supposed to step in when there are sellers but no buyers.

A key function of the market is to answer the question, "what is something worth?" Through buying and selling, aka price discovery, this question is answered.

However, what if you wanted to manipulate the price? Well to gain you would have to make prices cheaper if you're a buyer or make prices more expensive if you're a seller. Obviously your gains will be at the expense of someone else which isn't fair because the person taking the opposite side of the trade is acting in good faith that you are giving them a fair price.

In this case it's like artificially creating scarcity so that the price goes up or artificially creating over-supply so the price goes down.

Normally you cannot do this sort of thing. If you tried the market would adjust as other market participants react to your actions. However this firm was exploiting how orders were filled at the close.

The best analogy I can think of is the following scenario:

Imagine that you need something at the supermarket but it closes soon and just before the shop closes they suddenly remove stock from their shelves so it looks like there aren't anymore goods. Well the remaining customers are in a bind, the shop is closed. Just as you walk out you are offered what you wanted but for a higher price, which you pay because you figure that's the last one and you need it. Except it's not the last one and you got ripped off.

I just tried gnome-screenshot, which I didn't know about. It fails with an error after capturing an image because it seems it needs the gnome shell and I don't have it (nor unity) but from the man page it seems it's more or less functionally equivalent to shutter. There are two nice things with shutter: 1) the icon that sits in the notification area (or whatever it is called in a given DE) 2) the list of all the previous screenshots taken.
They come in handy for those days when I have to capture dozen of images.
I am having a hard time understanding your target audience. Why would anyone willingly give someone else a list of all the things they have been upto.
> How does that increases competition?

See the comment I already made: more drugs can be brought to the market because the cost is lower.

> you say it would be more profitable to make certain drugs, and then you say it would lower the prices , which will make (obviously) less profitable to make/sell those same drugs. So which one is it?

Lower production costs increases profits and price competition lowers profits (passing savings onto the consumer).

What the hell are you on about? 5k is a very real resolution, it is double 1440p. It means you can have a 1440p looking display, but with retina scaling.

I've got a 4k display, with scaling I have a 1080p looking display and as a result wouldn't want to go any bigger than 24".

This is exactly the display I have been waiting for (only it has a computer inside it).

Upgraded to Yosemite a few hours ago on my Macbook Air 11" and have had no problems at all. Homebrew works fine. My primary languages (Erlang & Elixir) run fine. Edited files with vim. But I've only done a fraction of my work for now (today).

Expect some sort of "visual overload"[1] once you upgrade. Too much of color (It felt like the interface was done with crayons). After a few minutes of work it'll feel normal.

The phone-calls-on-mac and turn-on-iOS-personal-hotspot-on-mac features will only be available in iOS 8.1, which is slated for an Oct-20th release. I am looking forward to these two features.

> The article contains an implicit contradiction, especially in its praise of apprenticeships. Apprenticeships are typically something a person engages in during their teens or 20s, and therefore, whatever is learned during that apprenticeship, the skills can potentially be out-of-date 20 years later.

Sure, but apprenticeship means there's a culture of on-the-job learning and teaching, and strong trade unions lead to german workers being entitled to continuous learning and improvement.
Yeah, I thought that was weird too. I assume that despite the weight it's cheaper and easier to use than concrete, and they'd rather spend a few million flying it in from a safe area than risk contaminating their work site with constant trucking traffic of unknown provenance.

Someone here probably knows, but two questions immediately spring to mind.

1) Was there any bowdlerization of the records--any attempt to cover up scandalous lineages that are or were at one time against Mormon norms? (For example, interracial relationships prior to 1978)

2) Are they able to handle cyclical family trees, such as described in this famous stack overflow question: http://stackoverflow.com/q/6163683/67591
the orange links are irritating and distracting (back to old-fashioned footnotes?). But you can read this in Safari's Reader mode, which sets the links to a moderate blue.

I checked their site. Revolution R has 4 products: Open, Plus, Enterprise, Cloud

1. Open: "This one’s not a difference at all: Revolution R Open 8.0 beta is based on R 3.1.1. No modifications are made to core R".

Simply put it is a repack, comes with extra packages like Reproducible R Toolkit, and has a mirror for CRAN.

2. Their Revolution R Plus is what is RHEL to linux. They provide technical support on top of the Open distribution.

3. This is where it smells fishy. "Revolution R Enterprise Workstation is licensed for a single named user, and available in two editions:". But is it a modified R version. They mention no change to core for open, but not for this. If they use R which is licensed under GPL how can they sell it ? Else if it is proprietary why call it "R"?

4. They provide assistance in running Revolution R Enterprise on a Server.
I don't care that much about video. Full HD is plenty fine with me.

I care a lot about text, because that's what I consume almost exclusively day in day out at work and in my spare time when I sit in front of a screen. And nothing profits more from high contrast and high pixel density than text rendering.

I just inherited a Dell XPS 13 with a really nice Full HD screen from a coworker who quit. I've got running Ubuntu on it with a scaling factor of 1.5. Not quite Retina, but pretty sweet nonetheless. I was going to use it with an external screen, but after getting used to this laptop I couldn't stand looking at the external screen anymore and got rid of it. Work (programming and writing) is a lot more fun with this setup.

My spouse just got a 13 inch Retina MBP. She's pretty stoked as well. Even her half blind mom can see the difference.

High resolution screens are great and as sooner they become standard the better.
Because of the way Facebook and other sites can track your movements across websites (due to Like button embedding and other third party scripts that we all use on our sites), they'll be able to identify you across your session, defeating the purpose of Tor. At least thats how I've understood it.

> What about using option to denote a failure condition without a specific reason?

Result is set up and marked to mandate its use, the compiler will complain if you ignore the result of a function returning a Result, not so for an Option. So idiomatically denoting a failure condition without a specific reason is Result<T, ()> not Option<T>: http://doc.rust-lang.org/std/result/#result-and-option.

Option<T> is for what it's name denotes, a value which may or may not be present (e.g. an optional field in a struct).
Binspector: A Binary Format Analysis Tool
Of course it's a "very real resolution" are you an idiot? Any display made using current technologies uses a "very real resolution" because that's how displays work.

What I was talking about, however, is that every other company under the Sun that has a relation to displays/media/TVs/whatever is pushing 4K and 8K as the next standards after Full HD. Yet, Apple in their infinite wisdom, go and pull a number out of their asses that isn't evenly divisible into those emerging standards - even if it is easily scalable into them.

Why? What could they possibly gain besides consumer dependence on yet-another piece of proprietary Apple nonsense?

Sure, the points being made about it pushing other companies to develop comparable tech for cheaper stands as Dell selling a display for the same price as an entire Mac computer is ridiculous. But so what? Apple diehards will get a 5K while the rest of the world goes with 4K and 8K, creating unnecessary disparity.
I tried it yesterday and for the first time I downgraded my Mac back to the previous version. I think Yosemite wasn't made for my 2009 MacBook Pro. It works w/o a problem but the font is really hard to read, in the sense it is an exhausting experience.

What is funny about Yosemite, many dialog boxes remind me of KDE.
As an outsider, it really is difficult to understand why these practices are supported/allowed by the public.

Email Marketing Lessons
Very interesting analysis. By the virtue of the crazy business we've decided to be in (creating a mobile optimized, reliable protocol over UDP), we've had some experience with this... over mobile networks. I can confirm that sending packets at a slow and steady rate, with proper packet pacing (this is all being done by our user level protocol stack using UDP as the underlying datagram sending transport), we commonly see 0% packet loss.

Of course, some of the actual packet loss at the media level is often being masked by the media protocol itself. That's why you'd often see cases where a packet meanders it's way to the destination after 4-5x the normally observed ping latency. This sort of stuff plays havoc with TCP congestion control algorithms (because by then, TCP send side has already decided that the packet is lost and it can only be due to congestion... so it backs the heck off). A lot of our win comes because of doing these things more in tune with how mobile networks actually behave.
This is an interesting phenomena to watch. A startup I was involved with years ago considered the use of the TOR network as an added service - mostly using the technology but with a managed set of nodes - to provide something like VPN services. This was very early in the reddit/social media days. I'm curious if it had seen the light of day what sort of press it would have received.
