Zuck is the one claiming to value the dissemination of various images of Mohammed, by parroting that slogan. It isn't a stretch to find his simultaneous censoring of such images to contradict that claim. If all he cared to do was lament violence, he could have said something inoffensive like "why can't we all just get along?" That's not what he said.

The "people of Turkey", like all people, would be better off if they valued free speech more than religious sensibilities. Eventually they will, but that's probably a few decades off, and at any rate it's unlikely to be the result of "agitation" by a rich Western asshole like Zuck, or the judgment of assholes like us on HN. In the meantime, I find public dishonesty unethical. If Zuck felt that way, perhaps he'd stop advocating this position while simultaneously working against it.

One of our offices: Shanghai, China

We build products at the intersection of technology around data. Lots of data visualization, big data and infrastructure.

We work with large organizations on challenging problems (the World Bank, the United Nations, CNN) OR on our own products (mostly developer tools, things like http://devo.ps or http://sweepboard.com).

We are a multicultural team with French, American, British, Chinese, Korean, Dutch and Finnish colleagues. We are about to settle a third office in Berlin this year.

We work a lot with Javascript (node.js, AngularJS), Python, occasionally Go and Erlang. Lots of single page apps, APIs and infrastructure automation.

We are looking for full-time or interns:

- Developers; front-end (HTML5 + Compass + AngularJS), backend (node.js, Python), ops (Python, Go).

- Designer director; you have design chops, understand technology (HTML/CSS...) and do more than nice pictures (content strategy, color ,theory,...).http://careers.wiredcraft.com/jobs/design-director/

- Technical project manager; you're comfortable fitting entire technical architectures in your head, you have a burning desire to see things done.

- Online marketing intern; we'd love some help with growth hacking our products and marketing our services like there's no tomorrow. http://careers.wiredcraft.com/jobs/online-marketing-intern/

- Business Development; if you are in Washington DC, Berlin or Paris, understand enough of our space and would like to help us grow our services, shoot us an email.

It is super helpful to have a working knowledge of common data structures- most algorithms are optimized for data in a particular format.
Choose what makes sense for the long-term and uses (storage, querying, extensibility, whatnot). I see little reason to use a schemaless thing like JSON anymore. If I was putting together a new project I'd go with capn proto. If I was putting together a new project and wanted a universal RPC stack, I'd go with Thrift (eventually capn proto when it gets more languages w/ RPC support). That's just my opinion though, others will vary. The important thing to remember about your choice is that it's going to be really difficult if not impossible to change later on down the line, so choose wisely.
Unless the quantum level itself stems from initial conditions, and therefore is deterministic as well.

I'm pretty sure your comment was tongue-in-cheek, but I'm taking it at face value for the hell of it:

Horror stories of outsourcing cheaply overseas, where doing it ended up delaying the project and sending it way over budget, are so commonplace now that you really need to define 'easily'. I would reword your statement:

> none of those guys can be recklessly outsourced overseas though

...but it no longer supports your point :-)

Using your way of putting it I think all Romance languages have a legit claim to "being Latin". [I seem to recall reading that there were time periods in which all the local languages were still casually called "Latin" while being quite distinct.] Some are more conservative than others in terms of preserved phonetics or grammar etc. But none of them "are Latin", and yet all descended from it quite naturally. Is Romanian, which has had some changes over centuries just as any other, any "more Latin" or "less Latin" than Italian, Spanish, Portuguese -- each of these having unique and sometimes overlapping changes relative to Latin?

Take some trivial word like "bene". The Italians say "bene". Their spelling is the same, so OK, it superficially resembles Latin when it's written out. But the Spaniards say "bien". That diphthong "ie" looks like a radical change but IIRC it's actually capturing the fact that the length of the Latin word's first vowel is different from the 2nd one. Less Latin? Who is to say, really? Then the Portuguese say "bem", which looks ridiculous with that M in there ... until you realize that nasal consonants come and go, they change into each other in certain positions, is it really "less Latin"? Would it really be shocking if some Roman pronounced an M in some position we think of today as having Ns? We don't have recordings or time machines so we can't say if they did.

At some point in my own amateurish study of Romance languages I realized this sort of thing and gave up trying to classify as "less Latin" and "more Latin". If you want to make a statement about who's speaking Latin today, the best way to capture it is that they all are, really (and at the same time, they are not).
Totally agree about that. I think those are what most of us saw (I was there, and the lights I saw coincided with the power failing). HOWEVER:

.. several of the cameras from the video were facing the ocean (i.e. the one at Larcomar, the mall in front of the sea, or the one at the airport, which is right next to the sea).
Also, many people reported lights from either the ocean or from desert hills that lacked transmission towers or anything electric.

Although I'm still not totally sold on the idea of rocks emitting light, I hope I won't have the chance to verify it for myself, as the experience of an entire pitch-black city being illuminated with light arks in the middle of an earthquake was scary enough.
SEEKING WORK: Remote (from Europe, mostly Germany)

I am a full stack generalist programmer with a heavy web background and more than 20 years of experience.

My favorite tools and tech:

- HTML5/JS/CSS (browsers are awesome!)
- JavaScript: jQuery, React, Three.js/WebGL, Handlebars, Isotope/Masonry
- Server side: NginX, PHP, node.js, C, Lua, Java
- Database: mongodb, MySQL/MariaDB
- Tools of the trade: text editor, git, command line
- Machine learning: Caffe framework +Python

I'm time zone-flexible, get things done quickly, and I like to think I'm easy to work with :)

I do love PHP rescue and refactoring projects, so give me a call if you're in trouble: we'll get your project back on the road!

It's interesting to switch your example to "Hash Table" instead of "Array". C is the language I'm most familiar with, and lacks one as part of the core language. So in fact, C essentially does say "Oh, just use the (associative) array pattern here. Start by rolling your own..."

Does this mean that a design pattern is not an absolute, but relative to a language? Or does it mean that there is no clear distinction between syntax and pattern? I don't think that being one excludes being the other.

We build arrays into the language so that they are easy to recognize and the pattern becomes a primitive tool. If you have to keep rolling your own, you'll never get past that. It will never become primitive, and you will stagnate. That is what those who object to design patterns object to: by thinking of them as elements of design -- the work of day-to-day programmers -- we won't provide linguistic abstractions that allow them to become primitive tools.

Rather than fearing that naming a concept will cause stagnation, I think the opposite: the failure to have a "shorthand" for a commonly used feature means it will continually be reinvented. Once named, the concept can be pushed down to syntax while remaining a design pattern.

The surprise (to me) is that the gulf between being part of the language and being an easy to add library is so great. Why is there no standard hash table that gets used in C? Why is there such a difference between core and non-core? I don't know what it is, but don't think it's for lack of syntax.
Coursera has a 'specilization' on Data Science. It's good, not great though. It costs about US$500.

It's not really a boot camp, but a MooC. There are 9 courses and first 3 courses are really easy. For a beginner they might be intimidating, so it depends on your prior experience. The course #6 is on Statistics which is really bad. The classes are not that explanatory and exercises seem very difficult. So, I suggest you to do another Coursera course on statistics by Duke university. This course is usually referred as DASI.

Currently I am at course #6. I have to complete 3 more and a capstone project at the end to complete the data science specialisation
A post so nice, would upvote twice! Thank you for the summary and bevy of helpful links!
This kind of verse is called macaronic verse (or makkaronische Dichtung in German).

I think the Wikipedia article's coverage of the German/Latin macaronic verse tradition could use some more detail.
I think aswanson is simply expressing his feelings. Broadcom has garnered goodwill from being involved with the Raspberry Pi foundation. Goodwill, I must add, from a broad swath of people who are not too technically inclined. Yes, the computer (or device if you're lacking generosity) is a god-send for those without the capacity to buy an Intel/AMD-based PC, but let's not kid ourselves: the device is less open than a PC was even 20 years ago. Which begs the question, in what capacity is the foundation moving computing forward? That's where I lose goodwill even for the foundation. Sure, they did something special, that really made compute affordable. But that was years ago. Now they need to make it open, so anyone, not just students, can answer probing questions about how the device works, and in so doing be able to make a Raspberry Pi device, or something totally different, for a whole new generation.

All this said, if you want cheap and software open, go with the Odroid C1 (China really is the future, and in this case a Korean firm is acting as the intermediary to Chinese silicon.) And if you want fully open, TI's Beaglebone. Good, solid, open, American.
> In fact, the government could easily raise taxes only on corporations.

There is no such thing as a tax that will ONLY be paid by corporations. They are either paid by the employee's, the customers or the shareholders.

So all you are doing is giving shareholders a chance to distribute that tax amongst the three groups at their own discretion.

> On a related note, should I, as someone who does not know Perl, bother learning Perl 6 yet? Or is it likely to change a lot before release?

I don't think so. Everything I've read in recent years has indicated that the grammar is stable, which implies that the operators and planned feature set are also stable.

If you want to melt your brain, you can take a look at STD.pm6, the official grammar for Perl 6, which is also written in Perl 6:

https://github.com/perl6/std/blob/master/STD.pm6

Recent changes seem to be very minor.
Nice update, and still at the $35 price point. Too bad it's still ARMv6. It would be nice to have ARMv7 which is where all of the high performance stuff is.

Edit. I take that back, it will be ARMv7 arch. Other articles state that the new Broadcom SOC will be using A7s. That makes it huge for this price point.
WhatsApp is of comparable scale and is doing this with 100x less servers.

As per [1], in March 2014 they were handling 20B messages/day (with 600M pics, 100M videos) with just about 550 servers.

My guess would be that, every day more photos are shared on WhatsApp than on FB.

Major difference: At present, WhatsApp does not "keep" your messages or sell "you" to advertisers.

What do you mean it's not true without HSTS? Do modern browsers now automatically switch to the http:// address scheme if https:// is no longer available?

Because otherwise, unless you don't care about incoming links, bookmarks etc, there is indeed absolutely no going back, with or without HSTS. That's the problem, only solvable with opportunistic encryption.

And if you have dozens of domains and subdomains, what would you do in 2 years if this only CA is then kaput? The value of their offering is definitely above 100 USD, it would appear.

The passionfruit is virtually unknown in America despite being huge in many places around the world. Hawaii and California have the perfect climate for growing them and preserved passionfruit products make some appearance in American recipes but you virtually never see the fresh fruit for sale anywhere.

I predict it's going to have a meteoric rise sometime in the next few years, it's got everything going for it.

Except that Broadcom released "full documentation for the VideoCore IV graphics core, and a complete source release of the graphics stack under a 3-clause BSD license" [1], enough to enable a blob-free graphics driver. Code has already been committed to Mesa [2].

I even removed the mobile-friendly responsive design I had for the landing page to not imply it will work on mobile...

But it shouldn't be a big issue to get the drag&drop working. Trello does it great already. I might have to rethink the hover-reveal icons, though.
What does this really matter? A closed blob is a closed blob, it's not like the cpu itself isn't a closed blob. Now on the other hand, if the closed blob entails that functionality you expected can be taken away from you without your control, that's a different matter. Sure, I don't put it far beyond Broadcom, but that's a different matter.
Infinite sets does not equate to infinite possibility. Like you said, it only includes feasible combinations which is determined by our universe. If you roll a 6 sided die infinite times you will still never roll a 7.

To me, that's extractly a move to aviod paying what Tess should have from Warner Brothers. Warner Brothers just took an unspeakable way to gain money, but this could ruin its reputation.

While I appreciate the energy put into this, I'm not a fan. I'm generally wary of tutorials that use examples that don't look like real programs. To me, this looks like a great idea from Ruby that has been shoe-horned into Go, and it feels weird.

How about doing it somewhere remote? Say, on a remote pacific island with no inhabitants? Or is there even the fear that it could emit a hurricane (which would probably happen anyways, but if it's your machine that starts it, all (media) hell breaks loose)?

Hmm. It can't be there the whole time since the bulles would add borders-around-borders-around-borders for as deep as your tree is. The clutter adds up fast.
They're a necessity.

The original Metroid needed them for expensive loading transitions between areas, as palettes and the scroll buffer were swapped out. Interestingly, they also serve that purpose in Prime... If you've ever shot a door and had it change color to show it unlatched but refuse to open for several seconds, that's the console stalling on loading the area behind the door.
"I, Robot" was a great movie, but not based on the book.

"Starship Troopers" was, as I like to repeat a quip, "based on the back cover of a novel by Robert Heinlein".

"Frozen", while not involving a contract to the long-deceased author, is allegedly based on "The Snow Queen" though I fail to see the connection.

There are numerous other examples of a movie being almost entirely unlike the book for which rights were purchased at significant cost. Producers seem to often go to great lengths to ensure an even tangentially involved author is at least satisfactorily paid. Sure, there are famous examples where the reverse is true ("Forrest Gump", IIRC), but it seems in everyone's interests to err on the side of generosity where due, lest a case like this one codify outright screwing of the sources of ideas - and their eventual defense in substantially less profitable ways.

Writing and story credits are determined by the producers (based on union guidelines), and arbitrated by the Writers Guild if there's a dispute. That arbitration process is a nightmare from all accounts, but it's what everyone agrees to use.

What I don't know is if "based on" is outside those terms. From looking of the WGA website, it looks like it might well be.

Where I think she'd be out of luck for sure is that the changes she made to the script (which are the places of greatest similarity to her book) would have been work for hire for the studio, and they'd own those changes outright. Which makes sense if, for example, the studio requested those changes from their side. Even if they didn't explicitly give her notes to make those changes, she did so while she was hired by them, and was compensated for making them.

I'd be interested in hearing from a highly experienced screenwriter or screenwriter's agent. There are indeed a lot of subtleties at work that aren't readily apparent. I think there's a good chance the studio is in the right here.
