Every level of this comment is wrong.

1) You do not own RF spectrum on your property, just like you do not own the mineral rights or the airspace above it. Claiming that you ought to be able to jam RF on your property is equivalent to claiming you ought to be able to shoot down aircraft overflying your property.

2) Jamming is a B2B issue. The customer loses, but the person whose rights have been violated is the legitimate licensee of the spectrum. It's one business violating the property rights of another. Owning a piece of land does not mean you own the spectrum on it; the licensee (effectively) does, regardless of whose land it's on. In this case, the licensee is "everyone who is not deliberately causing harmful interference." Mariott fell out of that definition when they started sending deauth packets. The manufacturer and operator of a cellular jamming device are violating the property rights of Verizon/Sprint/ATT. Just like local police would go after you for breaking and entering at their offices, the FCC will go after you for transmitting on their spectrum.

3) No, the acoustics analogy doesn't work, because what's happening here isn't some kind of "right to communicate." It's an unauthorized use of a communications medium that it doesn't own. You do actually own the physical medium of the air in your building; regulations are focused on what happens at the edge of your property (air quality, sound pressure level, etc.) Still, because the club is a public place with a food-service and liquor license, as well as a workplace, there are almost certainly relevant local ordinances and OSHA regulations that cap the maximum allowable SPL.

4) This isn't a proclamation; it's pretty uncreative application of law that's existed for nearly a century. '

>Any time you heat a frozen dinner such that Wi-Fi is cut out, you're potentially violating. (Panasonic, are you getting this?)

5) Go look closely at your microwave. There's an FCC certification etched onto it somewhere (near the Underwriters Laboratories certification, usually.) The FCC evaluates every RF-capable device sold in the U.S. for precisely that concern, and has determined that the level of EMI from your microwave is acceptable.

It still knocks out WiFi, yes, but that's acceptable because of the way the FCC classifies 2.4GHz. It would deny certification to a device that interfered with spectrum considered more important, like something reserved for military/emergency communication.

I love to play with this, and see how thought waxes and wanes - a good one is to stick in every soviet premier since Lenin, or 20th c. US presidents - really tells you rather a bit about the mindshare that these individuals had.
Check your users as well. Someone could have created an account.
I skimmed his comments, he hints it was discriminatory affirmative action but doesn't say much in detail. It's hardly clear that engineering and STEM didn't do the same thing - in fact, we know they have done this for some time.

I find it a bit surprising that you are so unconvinced by Scott Alexander's actual quantitative data (not to mention all the other academic studies I linked to), yet find vague hints at a single datapoint to be proof positive of an alternate hypothesis.
Thanks Shirley!

Yawn... old news.
It's pretty common in the small business world, or even printing envelopes/labels for christmas cards, wedding invitations, etc. Most recently, I'm using it for rapid prototyping of cards for a board game I'm making, but I do also use it for small direct mailing campaigns (under 200 destinations) for my business.
I've been hacking on a powerstrip adapter for the past few weeks (https://github.com/binocarlos/powerstrip-weave) and have found it a pleasure to work with.

Capturing JSON messages on their way to the docker server is a far more civilised way to extend docker than trying to "wrap" the docker cli.

In my use case - using the cli - I was struggling to separate the docker arguments from the image name and container args. It's better for docker itself to do that and more generally - its better to use the vanilla docker client (because orchestration tools).

As soon as I was working with the JSON messages generated by the docker client - everything became much easier!
I see your point, I really do. It seems like there are management problems within this particular startup. These problems happen everywhere, unfortunately, if management and software best practices aren't in place. At a particularly large ($100+ Billion gross revenue) company, we had the same problem. The solution for me was to just break the management rules. If one of my employees worked all night or all weekend, I told them to take the day, or two, off. I broke the rules. I didn't report the time. I didn't fuss over the PTO policy. I took care of my people and they took care of business and we all won. I felt bad about having to break management rules in order to take care of the very really humans that worked on the software, trying to keep their quality of life in balance with the rules an organization keeps, and to keep revenue high. Those bad feelings lead me to the next point I will make.

There are some software best practices that can solve a lot of these issues. Years ago I began to espouse DevOps principles. Those principles keep people from being there all weekend and all night. High levels of testing and high levels of automation really do help and make a huge difference in quality of life for engineers.

I can hear the objections now. "I am already working nights and weekends, how can I add more to get tests and DevOps in place?" or "my company won't support it!" or even "we have some of that..." Well, if you are up all night for a release, if you are there on a weekend fixing something that is broken, if you are constantly on call and exhausted, you don't have enough. Just do it one step at a time and you will find that you will spend a lot less time fixing things, being exhausted, and being frustrated, and a lot more time making new features for your employer. It's a skill that moves to any environment and any company.

Chin up friend, and good luck!
Taxamo seems to be purely focussed on EU compliance. Do you know of any other countries that have already or are about to put in place similar sales tax regulations? Would Taxamo add timely support for new countries and regions or will the focus remain only EU?

Also if you limit sales to businesses (and verify their business status) in the EU region and therefore have no VAT on your invoices do you still have to file a zero value VAT submission via MOSS?

To echo the point on video conferencing, this is why I love Sqwiggle! (not affiliated!)

The activation energy is a single "click" instead of:

1. turn on TV

2. switch input

3. enter name of hangout

4. wait to connenct

5. wait for the other person to connect

6. "can you hear me?"

Not to mention the fact that the constant presence of the slowly updating picture reminds everyone that the person exists and is "present".

The only thing I hate about Sqwiggle is the ability to turn auto-updating photos off. That one feature completely destroys the major benefit of using it as a reliable indicator that someone is or is not afk.
Yeah, shocking after turning up the volume a bunch to hear the screenreader.
Thank you for your comments! I will try this out later today!
If a microwave, or other device¹, interferes with radio communications, then operating it is illegal and the FCC will get involved to stop it if someone complains².

Following the logic in the article, you'd get the most efficient markets by making all financial transactions public and instantly accessible.

Then everyone would have the maximum possible amount of information, which would lead to maximally efficient pricing.

For some reason I can't quite put my finger on, I don't expect this to happen any time soon.

Which is one reason I remain skeptical that 'efficient pricing' has ever been a genuine goal.
Very good explanation! I'll also add that some Amish (and somewhat more Mennonite) communities actually OK laptops and cellphones, while desktop computers and landlines are eschewed. (Or, to use a somewhat older example, some communities accepted phones that were located outside the house, leading to phones mounted on poles placed suspiciously close to the kitchen window.)

There is a LibreOffice design team. I think one of the issues do far was we have had to do a lot of re plumbing which users don't really see - heck even the build system was overhauled to allow easier builds!

There's a lot more to go, but we're making progress and I think you'll start to see better UI improvements this year. I recall the first versions of Mozilla - I couldn't even type into edit boxes when I first started, but look at it now :-)

These things take time, but we have commitment and an enthusiastic community - and actually our developers are pretty responsive. well... most of us :-)

That's quite open to abuse, then... Set up two companies, one collects the data, the other trades. Sell the data "on the market", but set a ridiculously high price. The trading company would still buy it, because it knows that the data is worth that much. Eventually, the "public" might catch up to that, but then you simply set the price high enough to eliminate any potential profits of that information.
Cheers - much appreciated.

It's reduced by blinding because both groups think they're getting treatment - that is, they both get the placebo effect, and the test group also gets the benefit of the actual treatment.

Edit: It's not really reduced by blinding, it's removed as a variable because both groups have the placebo effect.

Been doing this ~7 years and here's an easy tip I learned from someone:

When taking a phone call stand up and walk around. Sometimes it's easy to get into a zone and not realize you've been sitting for a long period of time, if you train yourself to walk around when you're on a call it helps loosen things up.

And here's my tip:

Absolutely invest in yourself. If you're going to spend hours there, make sure you do it right. It's not just getting a nice chair, monitors, and workspace; you need to spend the time to set them up right and in a way that is healthy.

You don't have people dropping by and interrupting you for a coffee or meeting so it's easy to stay immobile. Little things can make the difference between staying healthy or (in my case) having to go to a few weeks of physical therapy because your sexy new monitors arms were positioned all wrong. Lots of ergonomic resources on the web, make sure to use them!

(This obviously applies to office workers as well but at home it's easy to think you can grab a notebook and sit weird in a couch all day for an entire week and be fine.)
It sounds like the only issue would be that you could potentially see unreleased apps. You couldn't access financial/payment records and couldn't access app details. You could just see the app dashboard. This is all according to reports I've read in the last hour or so.
While the icons may have gotten flatter, it still didn't fix any of the major information architecture issues that plague MSWord clones of the 2000s.

Great question. Generally our system performs better in higher volume areas given the higher "n" in the data but we don't have a live deployment in a high traffic community ER yet. Hopefully we will have a more conclusive answer for you soon!
I'm not totally opposed to the idea since there's an artistic goal behind it. Kinda like Instagram filters, which I admittedly used to oppose, but for Instagram's purpose, which isn't vying for National Geographic awards, they work well.
Importing of CSVs is a joke in both OO and LibreOffice - I literally have to rename files to .csv to get them to interpret .txt (or other extensions) as comma-separated - there's no nice "Import" menu like Excel has had for decades.

Even opening Calc first then using its menu to open a .txt opens the file in LibreOffice Writer!

And then of course Gnome's (on Linux) file browsers no longer support renaming of files in the browsers, so you have to mess around elsewhere.

logged into another app. Then refreshed and got this.

'use strict';
define(function () {
var itcApp = angular.module('itcApp', ['ngRoute', 'routeResolverServices', 'angularFileUpload', 'global_services', 'global_directives', 'global_filters', 'form_elements', 'ngCookies', 'angulartics', 'angulartics.adobe.analytics', 'ngSanitize', 'pasvaz.bindonce']);
itcApp.config(['$routeProvider', 'routeResolverProvider', '$controllerProvider', '$compileProvider', '$filterProvider', '$provide', '$httpProvider', '$locationProvider', '$cookiesProvider', '$analyticsProvider', '$sceDelegateProvider', function ($routeProvider, routeResolverProvider, $controllerProvider, $compileProvider, $filterProvider, $provide, $httpProvider, $locationProvider, $cookiesProvider, $analyticsProvider, $sceDelegateProvider) {
$routeProvider.when('/', {
template: '<div></div>',
controller: ['$window', function ($window) {
$window.location.href = '/WebObjects/iTunesConnect.woa';
}]
}).otherwise({
redirectTo: '/'
});
}]);
return itcApp;
});

So they load all of Angular then redirect to another page?

In the face of a gigantic participation gap, I am not persuaded by numerology. I don't find the data you have on this issue to be particularly compelling. I think it relies primarily on a vain misconception a lot of people have about the demands on software developers.

I think you find it persuasive because you work in a small specialty of CS that is particularly math-oriented (even if I don't buy that your facts apply to your particular specialty).
I think we might be earth's last chance at an advanced civilization. We've depleted all of the readily available energy sources necessary for an emerging civilization (easily-accessible fossil fuels). It will take at least 500 million years for them to be replenished. And in one billion years, the increased luminosity from the sun will wipe out most advanced life due to runaway greenhouse effects. So there's a pretty narrow window in-between.
Yes. Our data feeds include the outcome variables we are optimizing for which helps the algorithms retrain as new patterns emerge.
iTunes Connect bug logs developers into random Apple account
docopt() does few things and does them well:

* parse the call arguments and split them into options and arguments

* perform a very basic validation, i.e. handle the options which take a value and those who don't

Granted, mow.cli is much more complex. But it also does much more:

* Generate contextual help message

* Enforce arbitrarily complex validation rules (see the cp example) in your stead, meaning less code (and bugs) for you to write

* Does the routing, i.e. you don't need to have multi-level switch/case and if/else blocks to select and execute the correct code path based on the input arguments.

I talked about this in a previous article [1].

And finally, the library user doesn't have to deal with all this complexity: this is an implementation detail which I thought would interest technical readers, hence blogging about it.

You as a user only use the much easier to grasp exposed API [2]

Not hating them but a few of those people always seem to have brilliant ideas that they try to force (spatial nautilus for the oldtimers, breaking alt-tab in unity etc).

Where it gets really annoying is when they remove the options - our way or the highway, again something borroed straight from Apple.

How an Article about a $397 "Minicomputer" Brought Us the PC Era
I'm involved as an independent collaborator again in Docker's internal extension efforts, and after I saw this I got ClusterHQ looped in to that working group. Then we talked about collaborating on a Go port of Powerstrip, so I'm working on that here:
https://github.com/ClusterHQ/powerstrip/tree/golang

We're also planning to combine the Docker event stream plugin system I prototyped previously into Powerstrip:
https://github.com/progrium/docker-plugins

And ultimately, eventually, we'll have native extension support in Docker that allows much more extensibility, but all this is a good first step IMO.

> I wasn't claiming the next generation would oppose you. I was disputing your claim that they would support you.

Oppose or support me in what, exactly? And why is this somehow about me personally? I merely asserted that young people do care about privacy. I'm getting the feeling that you might be conflating what I said with what hengheng wrote.

> I think it's far more likely that they will come to some new conclusion that none of us old fogeys will understand

That's a valid point. However from observation, I would say "people who use $social_network obviously don't care about rights or privacy" is actually the old-fogey position. Teens sending each other stuff on Snapchat, for example, are most likely not OK with their streams being inspected from the outside. In fact, I do believe they even care which one of their friends gets what message.
But this logic can be extended to anything.
As far as risk of death, the flu still tops all others for which there are vaccines.
If someone has the flu, by this logic they are a risk to society. A personal choice to go out in public would be criminal. Got the flu, you need to be quarantined.
And the greatest risk of spread of anything is personal hygiene. If you haven't washed your hands after each sneeze, then that might just be a crime.
The consequences of just living are deadly. Everyone will die from something at some point, but when protecting society extends beyond what individuals can do to protect themselves you no longer have a free society.
Yes, and I'd add while it's possible to use a spreadsheet based data source for the mail merge - you have to go through a fairly obscure path to set it up. And most people asking me for help with mail merge have their data in spreadsheet form.
The back-and-forth on the ImageNet record between Google/Facebook/Baidu suggests that, unless they're exquisitely coordinating research release, at least some of what they're releasing is indeed close to their state of the art.

This is absolutely true. Without a solid vacation policy you can't lean on anything when push comes to shove.

At the end of the day, I believe that if an employer wants to be fair to employees, it doesn't matter if they have unlimited vacations or register PTO, it's going to come down to the message the employer sends to the employees about how to use vacation, when there are special situations (servers go down at 1am), and when the right time to indulge is (you overworked a bit this week - take the 2nd half of Friday off because you earned it).
If you're trying to "edit text" with LibreOffice, you've already picked the wrong tool for the job. The fact that a lot of people end up picking the wrong tool for the job isn't really LibreOffice's fault, nor does anything immediately leap to mind that they can do about that. In the meantime, a "document editor" is definitely a viable use case, even if it isn't the all-consuming use case that your usual Microsoft Word oriented "computer science" high school class may inadvertently teach.

I work at Priceonomics, so maybe I can shed light on our motivations.

We make the kind of content we love and we sell products so that we can afford to make more of that content. The two products we actually sell (data crawling for companies and books for people) aren't particularly well-suited toward SEO (though our original idea, a Price Guide which we killed years ago, was).

Anyhow, we're a content site that's trying to get by without using ads. I think most of our regular readers appreciate we're trying to pay the bills by selling things instead using ads. We'd like to avoid jamming our site with advertising if that's possible.

Happy to answer any questions you have.
