As I posted above to your other comment, the Honor Code does in fact warn against publicizing your work:

"As described in the Student Code, aiding someone else's cheating also constitutes cheating. Leaving your program in plain sight or leaving a computer without logging out, thereby leaving your programs open to copying, may constitute cheating depending upon the circumstances. Consequently, you should always take care to prevent others from copying your programs, as it certainly leaves you open to accusations of cheating."

madaxe_again said that the University gave him a zero for plagiarizing a website when he was the one that controlled that website. Whether or not it is legitimate to post solutions online, this is not what madaxe claims to have been penalized for.

In my opinion, arbitrarily shoehorning a perceived infraction into a preexisting rule that it doesn't fit so that you can punish behavior that you hadn't thought to disallow before the fact is an abuse of university policies.

If madaxe is recounting the event accurately, then I think that the university is more in the wrong. University policies are hard enough to follow in situations like this when the university sticks to the letter of the policy. Plus, universities can always go back to update policies as they see new behaviors that they would like to disallow. But if the university uses whatever policies that they do have on the books to punish arbitrary behaviors that they don't disallow, then it puts the student in the situation of having to predict how this practice will impact them in the future. This is essentially impossible, and quite defeats the entire purpose of having policies written down in the first place. If this practice is common, then the policies are merely legitimacy theater, and are in fact illegitimate.

The situation is further confounded by the power dynamics at play. Tanking a students GPA is a pretty tremendous bludgeon, and outside of retaining a lawyer, a bludgeon against which students have little defense. This power discrepancy demands discretion on the part of the university. There is a level of injustice in the act of a university wielding this power against a student without a grounding in legitimate policy.

Hi, thanks for sharing. I'm fairly inexperienced with using any kind of message-based event management so my question may reveal a deficit in understanding on my part: Would something like this be a javascript-runtime environment translation of message brokering libraries like ZeroMQ and RabbitMQ? If so, does that mean an application that already utilizes a messaging library such as those two could plug in msngr.js on the client or server-side (if using node) and use messages received from the message broker more directly, instead of having to translate them into emitted events?
I only had about 2 of my roughly 500 pledges that didn't go through when it came to the time to collect the cash.
I don't. I bought a 55 inches LG OLED and basically connect it to a computer.

It is an amazing device for work. In 2 or tree years I will change my computer, but not my screen.

People are buying 4Ks screens today, with quantum dots LCDs and OLED you could display color for which no specification exist yet!!

In one or two years you will have devices that could use the color space.

There is very little content for 4K. No affordable computer is going to display google earth at 4Ks and 60 fps, but in the near future they will appear.

Laws (and I'm considering honor code policies to fall in that category) are not programs. They intentionally have some ambiguity so that humans can interpret the meaning. Here, the intent is clearly that students should not share their work. They need not explicitly forbid all forms that such sharing could take.

马, for example, is the simplified form of 馬, which is traceable back through the millenia to a pretty recognizable picture of a horse back around 1300 BCE or so. (http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E9%A6%AC#Etymology)

This is a very internet message board answer - i like it and am going to try this.
Wow, you missed the point hard. I guess I just assumed that people knew about galvanic cells... Okay, I'm sorry, let me backtrack.

The salt water has absolutely nothing at all to do with the operation of the lamp and it is not providing the electricity to operate the lamp. Salt and water are not used up or expended in the operation of the lamp. It's like the "lava" in a lava lamp. The lava isn't providing the power. It's decorative.

What is providing the power are two materials of different electronegativities, which we call a cathode and an anode. They are expended in the operation of the lamp. They are not free, are not available on remote islands, and are to be purchased - like any other batteries - from the supplier of the lamp.

Your response is exactly what the makers of this lamp are hoping for - people who don't know the science ending up believing that salt water powers this lamp, somehow. You have been deceived by their marketing.

EDIT: I responded to your one comment above without reading the rest of your comments in this thread. Had I done so, I would have been much less nice, as it is clear you are highly, highly ignorant and highly resistant to numerous people's attempts to educate you.
Puppet drop may be due to options. Was just Chef, now is Ansible, Salt and even Docker.

And totally agree that Ruby is surprising. I'm a Pythonista myself, but always thought Ruby was fairly comparable if having a different approach. I don't have enough experience with it though to understand the possible reasons for the drop.

Yes, it does. When it comes bundled with another product, it'll be proprietary. Companies just don't bundle products to increase your freedom or their competitors power.

Also, it's far from clear that transparency into an AI's algorithms buys you very much. A mathematically inclined college freshman has no trouble understanding how to train a deep neural network today, but it's at the cutting edge of research to understand what function a trained network is actually computing.

Scale that up in complexity a few orders of magnitude, and the thing may as well be a human. That is, you'll likely have broad understanding of its "motives", but we have that for humans today and it doesn't help that much. I understand Facebook wants to sell advertising, but that transparency isn't sufficient for understanding why a particular message is delivered to your followers while another isn't.
Quite the opposite. Once you have engraved in your brain the shape of these characters they become the very representative shapes of the things they draw. It is not a matter of resemblance, just as most caricatures do not resemble the model, but the model is still immediately recognized. Another analogy is the sign indicating lifts in airports: it do not resemble any kind of real life lifts, but everyone still understand it, without even having a sound for it. So are Chinese characters. If you don't believe me I'll pardon you: a long familiarity with them is required here.

So, this is cool and it's nice to have an open standard with got traction from an active company.

When setting up lab automation, instrument communication is the biggest headache. There's lots of variability in how instruments communicate (serial, gpib, analog voltage, ftp/email from a contractor,...) and in how easily accessible their protocols are (published by manufacturer, closed, too old to know). Moreover, really old equipment is still in use and new equipment isn't likely to be 'designed for autoprotocol' for a while. How do you think managing instrument communication is going to work?

What are previous similar works like? I imagine stuff like this was made, way long ago, for doing combichem and hts... did it all remain in-house?

Support for extra parameters, like constant current vs constant voltage for gels, or that kind of thing? Or will this be in the name, like "op": "gel_separate_constant_I"

Support for timing, e.g. thaw out reagentB in time to mix it with reagentA which is being centrifuged, etc?

Reagents-- Any standardization for names/concentrations, or integration with inventory management?

Any planned integration with lab notebook/management software?

Any plans for 'preventing catastrophe' or 'forbidden operations' like centrifuging asymmetrically, or mixing stuff that precipitates+clogs (vs. intentional precipitation of, e.g., dna)? Not that we should need this, but increasing abstraction makes it easier to break stuff.

Looking forward to using this and contributing, etc.

In terms of technology and what I already have (most of) the skills I need for: video game making. I still really love it. Not a fan of iPhone cash grab "games" and don't want to join a massive team of developers to make the next Battleduty 7.

The smoke plume is characteristic of SRBs, which have a very good thrust-to-mass ration but relatively low specific impulses.

If you've ever seen a Shuttle launch, the long and smoky plume and the rocket "leaping off the pad" will look very familiar.
It does get going, doesn't it? Vega is a solid-fuel rocket (except for the fourth stage), and those have really high thrust early on.

If it behaves more like a missile than a satellite launcher that's no coincidence: most missiles are also solid-fuel.
> willing to move somewhere else for 3-4 months

Does YC ask you what you plan on doing after 3-4 months? For example, if you wanted to move your company back to Cleveland after the summer, would they not like that? Would your potential next-round investors not like that? I'd have to imagine they'd much rather have you stay in California.

> I could have written the rest of the history of web browsers on that day -- no other outcomes were possible.

It's really amazing how much things can change. Eric wrote this in 2003, when IE was dominant by a ridiculous margin and everything else was a tiny niche. It was written from the perspective that IE had won the browser wars forever.

Now, of course, IE has fallen from grace hard, and it's all about browsers based on WebKit, Blink, and Gecko.

There are a number of things you can thank for that. One is MS sitting on their browser for 5 years and doing nothing with it while everyone else kept innovating. Another, probably more important one is the rise of mobile. Mobile IE only ran on WinMo, when the early history of smartphones was dominated by Symbian and its WebKit-based browser, and then iOS and Android took over with their own WebKit-based browsers...
You are misunderstanding him. He's not saying that you can't shrink A4 down to A3. He's saying that aesthetically you can't do this without (of course) changing the font size. But if you want to retain readability, you may need to keep the font size larger, thus requiring a complete reformatting of the text. That is, you're talking about math and he's talking about the realities in dealing with humans as readers.
Well, in fairness Tumbleweed Homes are premium. I'm just giving a starting link as a hint. If you're looking for serious cheap & portable along those lines, I got a used pop-up camper for $2000 (new $10,000) that I'd be OK living in (and do for a few weeks a year, family of 4 + 2 dogs). During a sale, I also got the detailed plans for a Tumbleweed Home for $20, simple enough one could scrounge most of the materials. You can spend as little as you like, so long as you're willing to DIY and have flexible standards.

Speaking of which... Go to the Zillow link and search (largest range allowed is a whole state) for properties at/under $1000. Dig thru the auctions/scams/typos, and you'll find viable - even nice - lots dirt cheap.

Put those together, deal with misc paperwork & other costs, be ready to work, and you can have a home free-and-clear for under $5000. (Yes, it's not a 2400 sq ft ranch in the suburbs; deal with it.)
Not a strong enough prohibition. They need to be exposed to criminal liability for their crimes, same as a citizen. When they wield immense state power, they should be extremely constrained in its use. Violations of law while wielding the state's power should be taken much more seriously than they are.
The internet is other people, and what we get is what people, on the whole, want. It's like the olympic gold medal in Cool Runnings: if your life is meaningless without it, it's still going to be meaningless with it.

> These are the most boring people on the planet.

Yes, we are. That's the real revolution here: that you don't have to be "wacky" to participate, to set the agenda even. Facebook forces us to accept that most people are boring. Forces us to at least consider the possibility that terrifies the politico-artistic-humanities complex - that maybe it's ok to be boring.

> if our data is the oil of the 21st century, then why aren’t we all sheikhs?

Or maybe our data isn't actually that valuable. Maybe it's worth approximately what we sell it for.

> There’s no sneering, no sarcasm, and no self-deprecation. Everyone is just sort of floating along in an earnest tranquility. As if each anecdote about “that cool loft I found on Airbnb” contained some deep spiritual significance beyond my grasp.

Isn't this a good thing? What do we think the author would have written if everyone were being cynical and snarky?

> magical cloud of squandered human potential

No such thing. Data isn't destroying these things - it's just forcing us to realize that they were myths all along. I think the author kind of acknowledges this with the statement about how "those invisible power structures continue to thrive."

The Internet only amplifies what's already there. It can, and does, help you do what you want with your life. But you have to decide what that is for yourself.
While we're at it, couldn't we also wish for the US to adopt the ISO standard date format, YYYY-MM-DD That would be great. Thank you.

Yes, I am aware of what "functional" means. But I think you are being too literal. If you view the computation through the lens of the actual data involved in the computation, then it is functional. That it also has some internal state that gets updated and reported as part of the monitoring of the computation - but not part of the computation - then it is still functional with respect to the actual data in the job.

The key distinction is that this internal metrics data that is just used for monitoring is incidental, and can be thrown away without impacting the computation's result. It's just convenient information that humans might want to have so they can reason about the internal state of the overall system.
Everyone who supports the A* sizes of paper (start with a square meter because it's nice and clean, then just declare that all other paper uses that humankind might ever need should be specific fractions of that square meter and no other sizes are ever needed) should also support Swatch time.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swatch_Internet_Time

Alternately, if Swatch time seems dumb to you, then you might also accept that paper should be sized to fit a usage, not just a "clean" measurement scheme.

Does this hold true for other things as well? Should all cell phone screens be sized to be a specific fraction of a square meter, just because it's "cleaner"? Or should they be sized to fit, you know, people's hands and pockets?

And for that matter, the math isn't even right! Because SQRT(2) is not rational, you'll get noticeably different sizes if you actually started with 4A0 and sliced it in halves until you got to A10 versus directly cutting an A10 piece. That should drive you math-obsessives crazy.

I can see where you go with that 'not the most sensitive guy in the world'. I raise you with 'possibly the least sensitive guy in the world', and here's why:

1. You say she has a PhD but has not been able to find meaningful work. In other words, she's unemployed and highly educated, which can be humiliating, depressing, downright increasing one's feeling of worthlessness. Judging by your attitude, you don't get this. You really don't get how hard it might be for her right now. And you should.

2. You could use things for your up-and-coming venture, so you have talked her into being those things? Did you ask her if those things are what she really wants to do or are you just putting pressure on her to 'do her share' or, Deity forbid, 'at least do something' for you? Talk to her. Find out what she's good at. And if it's not 100% what you are wishing to pull out of that top hat... suck it up. Life's unpredictable and your viewpoint should flex with it.

3. Only a douche would stay with a significant other just for an endowment that could possibly benefit them. Read it and weep. Get real with your relationship or set her free. She deserves to be with someone who values her for who she is and what she does rather than as an emergency money bag. The latter is just pure offensive.

4. You're not supporting her. You're bringing her down. Wake up call incoming, one would genuinely hope...
