Unreliable

What version of phantom are you referring to? Do you have any specific examples?

Barely maintained

They do have a lot of tickets open, but in uses of phantom (wrapped by nightmarejs), I have not run into many issues that even required filing tickets/requiring maintenance. 90% of the use case of something like phantom is rolling around the page and clicking on stuff/filling out fields/evaluating some javascript, and it does that fantastically most of the time. Maybe I haven't done enough ambitious things with phantom.

Brutally slow

Compared to what? Selenium? I hope you're not comparing to the testing included with angular, because those are two different kinds of tests. Also, in the end, I think the most important kind of test is the kind of test you write with something like phantom/selenium because it requires that the system (at a macro level) does what it's supposed to do. If you make a todo app, you can have all your unit tests pass and the app still be broken. You definitely can't have your integration/end-to-end test pass if the app doesn't actually work (though the functions may be terrible, buggy, etc.

Personally (I have no data to back this), but I doubt Angular has seen remarkable adoption because of easy testing.

[EDIT] - I just noticed that you ignored the mention of Jasmine -- Maybe Angular shouldn't require it's own testing strategy at all, that seems like a pretty good indicator of a monolith (which Angular is, so I guess that's not really an interesting point).
Same here, I used it in 2007-2010 while studying at UCD for just about everything from finding apartments to bike routes.

Glad to see it got a nice facelift as well.
What? You've removed 4-6 minutes from the "longest part" (which is likely eaten up by setting up the soak, draining it, and washing the soaking container) and your technique still requires timing the pasta.
Both the idea and the execution impress me. I can't say it has much of a draw for returning users though. I look at it as a nicely done, fun, weekend hack. Maybe the referrals will send OP a little cash, not much of course.
Like reset password links? As it is, web app security depends mainly on the security of email; what do you have in mind as an alternative?
Yeah yeah I've heard that convo before. Look I'm not going to argue their EULA puts liability on Coinbase for losses of your funds. And yes I fully agree that in time it'd become ridiculous if they hold on to this part of their TOS (and will probably let it go because large institutions won't be comfortable with the lack of assurance).

But I will argue that if they insure customer funds and say $5m of them get stolen by a malicious engineer (again, noting their security practices this is extremely unlikely) they're not going to tell their customers 'sorry you're all losing money' when they get that money reimbursed and it'd destroy their business to do a greedy one-time money grab like that. Hell we even saw this with Bitstamp who paid for the $10m of lost customer funds themselves, despite zero such liability in their TOS, and despite the fact they were not insured and had to pay it out of their own pockets. (amounting easily all of revenues, let alone profits, for all of 2014 by the way, paid in full by themselves, without any obligation to do so).

To think Coinbase would then not give back these funds to the consumer despite it not costing them and being insured for that is a ridiculous assumption. It goes completely against them continually claiming that customer funds are insured against non-user related losses (e.g. not when a user gives his PW to his friend and he gets his money stolen, but rather say when Coinbase has a fuckup). And yes, I know technically Coinbase is the recipient of the insurance and that the EULA claims it's not liable, it's besides the point.

I mean, what do you think that insurance is ultimately going to be there for? Do you really think Coinbase will insure customer funds, and when they're lost say 'sorry, they're lost', and then keep whatever amount was lost after the insurance pays them out? It's a ridiculous assumption and much less likely than 'we've got you covered, we're not perfect but your funds are safe with us either way'.

So while I appreciate that you're not granted protection strictly by law (although I have my doubts about whether this part of the EULA stands up when it conflicts with so many written and implied statements by Coinbase which yes, do matter in the court of law), I hope you also appreciate that a statement like this:

> Their insurance only helps you if you are a beneficiary of the insurance

Is absolutely myopic. It's more likely that Coinbase will make their customers whole, especially with their insurance policy, than not. To say that Coinbase is no better than other low-rent bitcoin exchanges is also completely ridiculous, even if neither of them were insured, there's a gigantic difference between Coinbase and say Mt. Gox.
A lot of research has gone into flywheels over the last 40 years or so. The best that came out of that was ride-trough systems for hospitals and other large consumers (datacenters!) which catch the load until the generators can be spun up and power stabilization for wind parks (but these have now been supplanted by more solid state tech using superconductors).

There are all kinds of reasons for that much too involved to go into here but for most practical (and cost efficient) applications fly-wheels are probably not going to happen unless there is a breakthrough in materials that would allow much higher RPM.

Other interesting applications where the gyro bus (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyrobus ) and a similar system used to power regular cars (the flywheels were in the 100K+ RPM region and the size of a large dewar flask).
I would assume its the ease of making the systems highly available and/or scalable. Scaling ActiveMQ can be a pain once you exceed the capacity of a single broker, and the standard HA setup requires shared file systems with non-broken file locks which are fairly complicated to get in cloud environments.
That sounds more like a navigation problem than a problem with the code (unless the function names are misleading).
that's what bitcoin is for. A cold wallet, encrypted and backed up in multiple places would solve that problem.
(Wild speculation ahead)

I think it has to -- almost all of the nootropics that people use (-iracetams) are recommended to be taken with choline supplements, as people tend to get headaches without them. These nootropics were looked at as Alzheimer-preventing or -delaying drugs, and they cause an uptick in choline use that necessitates the supplements. I feel that indicates choline is used in keeping the mind strong against Alzheimers.
Well, since this is a show about romantic involvement, perhaps it took the bachelor's (or bachelorette's) personal tastes into account? Not everyone is attracted to all races (or other physical traits) equally, and that's not against the law (or morally wrong, either).

Should I complain that I am under-represented because there are no fat people? We do make up a considerable percentage of the US population...

(Disclaimer: I've never actually watched either The Bachelor or The Bachelorette... I just don't have the desire.)
what was the part about keeping all their money in a foreign bank? that seemed random.

I wonder what else is going on?
As Orwell illustrated [1]

I returned and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.

becomes

Objective considerations of contemporary phenomena compel the conclusion that success or failure in competitive activities exhibits no tendency to be commensurate with innate capacity, but that a considerable element of the unpredictable must invariably be taken into account.

Trying to sound clever has gone too far, just write the damn words.

Yes, "good" can mean many things depending on what the person saying it believes.
Presumably because BECU doesn't have a presence in Massachusetts and it would be harder for Mass. to get a levy on an out of state bank account? Op's tax lawyer in the article stated that "Chase Manhattan is not supposed to freeze an out-of-state account like this, and MA knows it. But MA does this because they know they can get away with it."
Will be reviewing this site as well.
> one is trivial, but is a subset of the other.

Except you example is false. I see no reason a quadriplegic couldn't serve as an ambassador.
Mind you, there are also a number of old, old discussions of the problems of Bayesian statistics, which I fully expect to grow and die without the world having resolved (or, even worse: considered resolved too glibly!).
Did the comment you're replying to change? I don't see any complaints or snark.

There is a touch of humor but it's not pro or con.
FWIW: I can find state tax liens with these names on it, but it may or may not be in any way relate to this.
>Sorry, neither the idea nor the execution impress me very much.

I don't think they created it to impress you. If your reaction is "meh" you can express that just as well by not commenting.
I wonder if this is meant to replace the ARES project which seems to have gone nowhere.

http://marsairplane.larc.nasa.gov/

I'm not familiar with the details of either project or why a drone might be advantageous over a plane, although they have different applications. The ARES project has been around for a while though so its a mystery to me why it hasn't been implemented yet (the answer must be $$$).
I'm mainly attacking the fallacy that programming is something special with respect to rigorous problem solving and decomposing problems. All fundamental engineering rests on that ability. Those abilities are fundamental to circuit analysis, electromagnetics, finite element analysis, fluid flow calculation, load calculation, the list goes on. It is a fundamental skill in engineering. In fact, I will go so far as to say that a "real" engineer is one who needs to exercise this skill in order to do their job properly.
How good is the ES6 transpiler used for this? My experience with ES6 transpilers thus far hasn't been great. The feature support seems to be very spotty.
Strangely enough, almost this exact same thing happened to me.

Apparently I was accountable for my ex-wife's tax bill (for a year in which we were not married) well after our divorce...in a state I never worked in.
Is it that surprising that inhibiting choline would be a bad idea? Choline's positive effects on memory and the brain are very well known and increases in acetylcholine are one of the main methods of actions of nootropics in the racetam class.

I inferred a "for IBM" on the back of that sentence. Obviously, shitty for those laid off.
mixing the chaff from other users (somehow) would be even better. I seem to recall an early experiment that did this.
No, I don't think they are sub par. But I do think their exalted place in the Apple blog world is not earned by quality, but ad money. You don't see many of these bloggers actively using Squaresquare for anything but side projects, but they all push it as the go to platform to use even outside of ads. I would also contend that you can certainly buy your way in. See ads for stuff like Clean My Mac, which I am positive Gruber would never use himself.

I don't think there is anything extremely unscrupulous going on, just that there isn't much of a wall between editorial and advertisement with Gruber's model as some people claim.
Yep, although as I understand it they've worked so hard on it since the Kickstarter I'm not sure how much is still recognisable as the core ETH code. At the very least their software is rooted firmly in the PX4/Lorenz design ethos. One of the guys behind the project is also the author of some very nice PX4 and MAVLink tools which you may well have used: https://github.com/DrTon

[we have a nightmare at work trying to distinguish between original PX4FMU running PX4, Pixhawks running PX4, and Pixhawks running APM codebase in conversations]
Then whats the point of the voting system?
In my hobby game programming, the first thing I got nailed down was writing messages to the screen.

Not as good as debugger, but invaluable when you need to see the specific value (position, etc) of an object right next to the object on screen.

I'd also usually have a key bound to spit out a frequently change buffer of debug information that I could call up at any time.
Just in case you still need another site to review: http://www.mosttalked.com/
a) the same person would need to be able to take almost 50x as large a loss

b) I don't think that makes sense because I don't think having insurance for offline coins is something reasonable people are worried about, except a very, very small number. I think it's something people are bringing up to criticize Coinbase because they want to find ways to criticize them.
Looks like a cool service. You are the last website to be reviewed!

It strikes me that zooming around on Google Earth might be a good way to show the relationship between what we can see around us and the fully zoomed out globe.
I will try using this technique next time I make carbonara.

Carbonara is simple: cook bacon, reserve grease, pour in hot pasta + cheese + milk + egg.

If I'm on the ball, I can cook and crumble the bacon a day in advance, but then the full pasta boil is easily the longest part of the process.

If I have the bacon already prepped and can reduce the "bring-to-boil + wait ten minutes", it's actually a very nice time savings for me when having a dinner party.
We (myself and others) did "lose" meritocracy. It was a valid philosophy and important part of business culture until recently when it's become banned by hr/pr.

> If you want to be treated better, then perhaps not tar everyone who disagrees with you (or even all feminists) with that brush you're using.

I'm just disagreeing. I'm also not complaining about down voting. I was BANNED; that's the type of reaction I was talking about. I'm not saying we should ban feminists from discussion. I don't have to agree with people to allow them to speak their mind. Apparently that doesn't work for non-feminists though. That's precisely my point.
Also, if the interview process is a whole day, you're excluding candidates who already have a job.

Demanding applicants to spend a lot of time only works on recent grads, or unemployed and desperate.

I'm starting to use it as an anti-filter. If a job prospect demands me to invest time before an interview, I just pass.

Who are you that I should waste 5-10 hours on your interview project, before I even meet you?
Why not review a few more?:)

I see Chrome, which means browser based, so that's not what I'm thinking of.
The worst customer that I had refused to pay for the completed product, then threatened to sue me for late delivery. That is, they were contracted to a certain delivery date, and hired me after the fact, with no specified date, then waited one month before finalizing and giving me the specs, then got mad at me because it couldn't be done in 1 week. They got penalized as per their contract with the final customer, so they decided not to pay me. I'm just a freelancer, and they have an established company with a lawyer on call. I got screwed out of $3,000.

Moral of the story, don't rely on a handshake or verbal go-ahead. Have a contract with detailed timeframe, deliverables, and contingencies.

Oh, and, don't work for jerks.
From the homepage:

By combining ES6 modules with a simple, yet powerful Dependency Injection Container, we make it easy for you to create highly cohesive, yet minimally coupled code, making unit testing a snap.
That's not really an excuse. This is a pretty trivial thing to fix (update the cert, or force a redirect).
I think you have an incredibly short-sighted view of the difficulties associated with software engineering. In particular, your view of how hard it is to write large pieces of software seems to be way, way off.
I'm personally banking on the idea that convincing more people to go data-only will be the game-changer. Apps like "Hushed" [1] already wrap phone/sms functionality from Twilio inside an amazing interface where you can pick up numbers anywhere on earth for any period from a week ($3) to a year ($30).

The thought is that when everyone is just seeking out the cheapest data deal, not only does is unbundle and disempower the giant telcos (a good thing), but it also gets users and developers in the mindset of a single data tier. This is where real security and privacy gains can be had.

For example, I've gotten some friends using textsecure, but they've ditched it after being confused why turning off their data prevented them from getting timely sms messages. (Encrypted text messages are silently routed through data when conversation partner has textsecure, even though the identifier seems to be a regular phone number to the user, just like with SMS messages.)

When users start using all-data plans, tools will be developed to help users go into a conservation mode akin to turning off data, just as they do now. Instead of turning off data, users will be able to use a simple firewall to block everything but voip/text messaging apps.

As an added bonus, any trend toward making data-only more convenient will also mean that using wifi-only devices and mobile hotspots will be equally convenient. Those who want the manual baseband separation of that setup (unavailable on current full-featured phones with radios), will not have to jump through crazy hoops to get it, and so security will take a big leap forward :)

My current average of comment point is 2.11. That means that in average I get only 1 upvote for each comment. The other posters here have a similar average.

There are not free upvotes, or an upvotes faucet here. Try to write meaningful comments, preferably in an area where you are an expert. Try to avoid oneliner and jokes, because most of the times they are downvoted.
So...they've effectively discovered legal study guides, which have been doing turning the law into diagrams and (where appropriate) tables for decades.

The problem with design, especially with the example given in the article, is that it only captures the most basic, generic information. The detail--the part that matters to specific applications of the law,i.e., the most important part--is left out. (For example, the sample design on contracts leaves out crossing responses, a very common event in where rejection or acceptance of a contract is sent after an offer has been revoked but before the revocation has been received.)

Law is complicated because it needs to be to deal with the very many edge cases that arise from the natural ambiguities inherent in language. There are limits to how simple law can be.
That's a pretty week study. Results indicated that gun ownership had a weak (odds ratio = 1.36) and unstable relationship with homicidal behavior: http://www.guncite.com/Kleck-Hogan.html

And the CDC disagrees with that assessment. Even as gun ownership is on the rise [1], and more people than ever are carrying concealed firearms, the number of people (raw number, mind you) accidentally killed with firearms each year continues to drop. The accident rate shows an even more marked decline. [2]

There are, according to the CDC, 308 million people in the United States. That’s 308,745,538. Of those 308 million people, only 600 were accidentally killed with a firearm. That’s a 0.000194% chance that you will be accidentally killed with a gun in any given year. According to the National Safety Council, over 12,000 people die every year simply by falling down.

But, our difference in opinions doesn't really matter here so, good luck to you. There are sheep, there are wolves and there are sheep dogs.

Sure -- "next-generation sequencing" (NGS) is a term for a variety of hardware platforms that allow reading the nucleotide sequences of DNA molecules.[1] This genomic data can then be used in a variety of end applications, such as looking for genetic disease markers in humans, identifying and characterizing a bacterial infection (the focus of the CDC's prize), etc. The cost of NGS has fallen dramatically in recent years (and throughout/speed increased), making it pragmatic for more and more applied use cases.

[1] The underlying hardware innovations here are varied and fairly remarkable. We focus on the software and data side, so this is not my area, but Wikipedia has a decent synopsis of current approaches: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA_sequencing#Next-generatio...
While I like the idea of more readable, usable documentation of law... I also worry about it. Because law is really all about the interpretation within the courts -- past case history, different levels of courts, various jurisdictions, etc. You can read all you want, make your own judgments on it, and make intelligent choices based on what you read... but in the case of a conflict, it is a judge who will decide what really applies to you.
woot thanks! it's my MVP, would really appreciate the feedback!

Not really a good store of value when its value swings widely. Maybe when it's useful for paying one's rent and bills, but until then, I disagree.
The first part could easily explain it, particularly if the company was an LLC. If you own a stake an LLC, you are liable for the taxes on the profits on your share of the ownership regardless of whether or not you see any of it(at least in GA). Since the author seemed fairly oblivious to this requirement maybe he hadn't paid them since moving out of the state? Since this seems to be from a couple years ago, do anyone have any closure on this situation now?
