They announced it on my high school's PA system, during my second-period civics class. Following that class was our morning break; I went immediately to the classroom for my next class, physics. A number of people were there already, huddled around a boom box that was tuned to a news station reporting on the accident. I didn't actually see the footage until I got home from school that day.

Always thereafter, when watching a Shuttle launch, I would be (at least figuratively) holding my breath between the "go at throttle up" call and SRB separation.

Its more of a shiv to convert react elements/calls into native UI elements, using a native server to receive streams/messages (unsure which) and convert them.
Prosititution is technically semi-legal in Iran. There is a temporary marriage / dowry arrangement where you can be "married" for as little as 15 minutes. I think it is also okay to have an actual wife in addition to the temporary wife. I have no idea how much this loophole is used in practice.

Indeed. This mass behavior has the interface of Mao's Culture Revolution (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_Revolution) while serving the purpose of a Stalinist purge. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Purge) But why? Why now? Well, #hilary2016 is obvious, but more insidiously, after unlimited funding for super PACs became the de facto unit of all political engagement, everyone is organizing a massive push to counter people like Adelson and the Kochs. And when you form the kinds of mass coordinations that only billions of dollars can afford, (George Soros put in $33 million this year so far) you cannot have dissent in the slightest or your ROI gets impacted.

I think it is. Most good people I interviewed so far had something on there from pet projects. I wouldn't expect that code to be brilliant, but just the fact that they know how to use git, maybe even react to issues / PRs is a good start.

I personally have a lot of small cruft on mine (old blog migration scripts), a commandline video downloader that has a few issues, ...

None of that code was done on company time, but most people I know and like to work with find a few hours on a Saturday from time to time to just hack up something.
"I would theorize the declining birth rates is not a signal of a wider sexual revolution, including, the adoption of contraceptives, rather a signal that State suppression of socializing of the sexes is succeeding. This would probably also account for the increase in average age of getting married."

That conclusion does not follow. The US for example saw a substantial decline in its birth rate over 40-50 years, and it was not due to State suppression of sexuality or socializing. In fact the exact opposite occurred, sexuality was drastically liberalized in the 1960s and 1970s. Women acquired a lot more freedom when it came to divorce, joining the work-force, contraception, and abortion. Divorce rates climbed substantially. I suspect many countries in Europe saw the exact same general trend line as the US during that time.

> modeling is breaking down systems without regard for computer or programming language and is not specific to any domain

And what would you teach students to describe their models to others? Some modeling tool or technique? Yet the skill of modeling is not dependent on the particular tool used. Similarly, the skill of programming is not dependent on the specific programming language. Certainly when teaching programming, you're going to teach using a specific programming language—but if the student learns the language, and doesn't understand programming outside of that, then the teacher failed. Just as if you teach modeling, and the student learns the modeling tool used, but not modeling as a concept.

> declining birth rates ... suppression of socializing of the sexes

I can see why you would think that, but it's actually the opposite. The sexes do not need to socialize to have children - instead they marry.

It's really the other way around: Once you have contraception, you can have socialization, and a low birth rate. So easy socialization is an indicator, not a cause.
I also rather trust the algorithm to see what is a good movie and what is not.
In my case the collected ratings of the experts, not the users.
Current example: http://cannes-rurban.rhcloud.com/Sundance2015

There are some outliers, typical "festival hits", which only relate to festival specialists, but they are easily detectable, with a "10%" human bullshit detector. Like last years Godard at Cannes, 2012 Leos Carax, 2011 the Kaurismaki and 2010 both the Godard and the Jury winner Weerasethakul. Those outliers are even statistically detectable.

One thing is clear, you can trust the collected experts more than the juries. So I can fully confirm the story.

Errr... a high birth rate is usually due to women having multiple children. i.e. they are married.

Also, people marrying late is not usually due to 'suppression of socializing of the sexes'... in western countries the opposite effect has been seen. If I were to follow the logic of your argument then we should expect western countries where teenagers mingle freely to have people marrying early... that is clearly not the case.

Sorry for the inconvenience. I am not familiar with the details of English language, so sometimes I just understand things wrong.

Yes, there are some interesting opcodes too, but I found their usage so limited, that it was not worthwhile to drop compatibility. Of course, with a fixed setting, where you need every byte .... but I must say, that for me today it is just academic, since I also do no embedded programming today. With computers of today, I still think, that optimizing is worthwhile, but not to that degree, that breaking compatibility makes sense.
But there is also a vocal population of people who want to see governments act in their people's interests

The problem is, it's becoming increasingly apparent (to me, at least) that this is motivation is not only ill-defined, but inherently self-contradictory. Those people are not going to get what they say they want, because it doesn't exist. Government is the ultimate zero-sum game: anything they give to someone, they have to take from someone else.

Ultimately, the only rational conclusion I've been able to reach is that the best government is the smallest one. Around here, saying so often gets one downmodded.

Are there any network administrators who don't consider NAT traversal to be a security breach? Making it difficult would seem to be a feature, not a bug, in most enterprises.
Actually changing the DOM has a lot of implications. Recalculating CSS, layout, possible side effects that generate events, repainting, etc, etc. It's a lot of work to go through for an intermediate state that may not even last long enough to be visible to the user. Buffering and batching those changes can save a lot of that effort. I suppose in theory the browser could optimize this as well but in practice it seems most are still optimized for rendering static pages very quickly rather than for handling rapid changes.

Isn't Iran still backing numerous terrorist organizations, including Hezbollah, while proclaiming it their goal to essentially kill everyone in Israel?

What's so moderate about having an extremely oppressive theocracy as the foundation of your political leadership? One need only look at the revolts of a few years ago and how Iran dealt with that, to see exactly how non-moderate they are in practice.

And before you jump to saying: but America does X, and Saudi does X - yes, and such things do not alter or justify the terrible things that Iran does.

One of the commenters on the article suggested sending the customer an "import template," with all of the column headers predefined. The customer simply needs to copy-paste their data into your CSV import template, and upload it.

I think you misread which comment I was replying to. That was the grandparent of my comment, while the one I was disagreeing with was basically saying that it was hypocritical of Zuckerberg to obey local laws after saying "Je suis Charlie." I don't think the idea "People shouldn't be killed for what they say" is necessarily incompatible with following local laws about what a Web service may publish.
>>>"(and hipchat, and jive, and whatsapp, and groupme, and skype, and who-knows-what-else.. ugh)"

I agree with your sentiment at the end of this sentence. I've gone through this as an individual. Sometimes you just need to cut the slack and regroup using a standard toolset for the organization (or group, or sub-group, etc.). Otherwise, org-wide (or group-wide) communication simply becomes too difficult. Or "fragmented", to borrow your diction.

I haven't used Slack or Screenhero, but I hope Screenhero thought through some of these potential "second order" effects on their customers that the acquisition would have before signing on the solid line. Hopefully the founders didn't just have $$$ in their eyes.

That's one of the primary risks of using/adopting a new service/system/product, in my view. Will the people building the product, and actively selling people on the idea, actually defend the product once "acquisition is in the air"...
That has to be a planned/posed image. There's no way one could focus so intently while hot water bubbles around you..

It's actually better if 1000 different people each run a 40Mbps exit node than if one ISP runs a single 40Gbps one. You don't want to centralize control over the exit nodes because it increases the chance that party could control every node in a circuit.

One possibility: You have a JS interpreter running your React code. You generate a virtual DOM and hand it off to React. React sends the virtual DOM through a message bus to native code. So far, nothing crazy here, this is how frameworks like cordova work. That native code dynamically translates the virtual DOM into native UI elements.
Forbearance is a legal minefield. This is common sense: an agency can't just rewrite a statute by ignoring the 90% of it that it doesn't like.

I live in China (on and off for 13 years). I have run tech companies here. First up, rules are less fixed here, so the fact this has been announced doesn't mean it will be encountered/enforced at all outside of very large government contracts (banks here are owned by .gov, foreign banks are excluded despite WTO-join-time assurances to the contrary). Secondly, this is a direct response to the NSA paper revelations about how much success they've had infiltrating Chinese communications networks... big red dots showing points of NSA infrastructure inside the country! Well... pot, kettle, black. Finally, if you are selling physical or software products to China and feel they're somehow unique technically and believed for a second that they wouldn't be reverse engineered by interested parties, then you were already kidding yourself.

This is very handy for doing an end-run around constitutional issues. If each country is not allowed to spy on its own citizens, but is free to spy with impunity on others, all you need is a strategic alliance (Canada <-> USA) where each country spies on the other's citizens and passes along information of interest.
Looks very cool. Do you accept people from Europe who'd like to work in SF, too, or is this only for US residents?
aah, op here. So right now I've only got the 100 or so keyboard ascii chars. The reason is that there is no software api for v-carve lettering. I've had to write a script that's basically a point-and click windows macro for each possible character, then compile the whole text with appropriate kerning. The process already takes several hours for each font, plus hand-corrections for any vector problems with the export.

At a lower level this type of v-bit carving is much more difficult compared to 2d operations like pcb trace milling. There are various tricks (http://s485.photobucket.com/user/defaultname000/media/butter...) you can use for computing vector offsets of arbitrary paths, but for v-carving you need to get the medial axis as well.

There is an another limitation - any individual stroke wider than about .09" requires 2 passes to cover, which is not ideal since I'm basically selling machine time. Adding arbitrary symbols would likely increase my cost.
