All FTTH customers in the Netherlands have this, and it's just a matter of time before everyone has FTTH.

Then again, it's probably also a matter of time before abuse of symmetric connections becomes large enough that ISPs start disabling it.

I see your point though, we're nowhere near there yet, especially on a global scale.
You are spouting nonsensical gobbledygook. To the extent you are making a coherent statement at all and that statement is that diet is not the primary mechanism whereby excessive fat is gained or lost, you are wrong. [1][2]

So what's your thoughts on React?
Maxis had a nearly 18 year run after the EA purchase. A lot of independent studios die over that sort of timeframe. They released every entry in the fairly successful Sims series, as well as two well regarded entries for SimCity.

It's been a while since they put out anything special, but overall the company seems to have done well by EA.
Exactly. Applying to YC was a mistake: it's an accelerator for making money, not an incubator for innovation.
> It's widely agreed that Battlefield has been on the decline since 3 (3 being the first game released under EA).

This is so wrong, it's not even funny. DICE was acquired by EA 10 years ago. All Battlefield games except the original one were created since then.

Also it's generally accepted that BF3 was the best Battlefield game so far, with BF4 probably going to overtake it in customer satisfaction with the current Premium program.

My doctor has told me one thing over and over.

Want to lose weight, eat less and eat right

Want to look good, exercise and drink water

Somewhere down the line he stated that exercise tended to help you live longer and experience less issues as you grow up but it won't help you dodge that bus so enjoy yourself and don't get fat
So there are people harassing non slim persons by pretending that they are unhealthy, giving them seemingly rational rope to pressure them into losing weight ? It feels a lot like anti gay marriage people conceptualization about family to justify subconscious anger.

That said I'm not sure it's really acceptable, to a certain extent you can mock someone in his back, but I've never seen someone indifferent to someone bullying another one for his/her weight.

The introduction of stream processing in Java 8 is a concrete example - it can auto-parallelize computations. It was not immediately clear to me why an identity value was needed in this function:

http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/stream/Stream.html#reduce-T-java.util.function.BinaryOperator-

After reading up on monoids, it became clear. Note how the reduce() variant that does not take an identity value is allowed to return null!

The initial AP article wasn't specific about the server location, but various media outlets omitted that sentence.

Later updates to the AP article do state that a business record related to the server has been traced to her home, but the various republished editions of the AP story swamp search, so it is difficult to find any actual analysis of the technical details.

A discussion here on HN is the best I've found:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9148730

The records for the mail server do point to an ip address from a provider in the area of her home. But there is no further evidence.
Email Marketing Lists
My thoughts exactly. Actually when I first saw the video I was really shocked by how ridiculously good the product was and how lacking was the market research/fit. I can only see it suitable for high-end professionals like the Adobe Suite as it is.

I think it should be possible to build very solid apps out of this. They just didn't bothered to develop a polished app as they reply to the YC guys suggests. But they should have, as well as providing video tutorials, documentation, etc...
It seemed to me that the questions (Eclipse? really?) betrayed not just a lack of familiarity or ignorance, but a deep confusion as to technology in general. That question alone made me laugh, as if the person was raising their hand and saying, "I have no idea what I'm doing."

I might possibly await that kind of response if they were pitching people with little-to-no technical background, but from YC I would have expected questions which, if not insightful, were at least moderately appropriate.

From the few minutes I've spent looking at Creo, there were a lot of valid questions to be asked here, but from what I read, none of those were asked. They flew a long way to find out that YC wasn't what they thought it was.
IMO, statistics shows macro patterns that humans can understand (through analytics/dashboard). Today's data science produces micro patterns that are actionable (through personalized ads/newsletters), even if it is not human comprehensible.

Ads on TV are based on statistics. On youtube, it is data science.
much more likely it was even more susceptible let alone enticing simply from the host name. really if you don't want someone to spy on you use a name which doesn't declare who you are party too.

There are many sides to it, and I don't think it's useful to make it "us against them" on most fronts. I believe a lot of useful, and a lot of hurtful, stuff came out of those various very personal articles and blog posts discussed in your link.

But, I do find it interesting that the author of the piece you've linked seems to believe it was women and feminists who made the majority of the "neckbeard" and fedora images...when, in fact, they are the work of predominantly young male redditors and occasionally 4channers. There are several subreddits devoted to this kind of humor, and from what I can tell they are disproportionately (even for reddit) occupied by young males.

So, there are many other sides to it. Nerds get shit from a lot of directions...not just from women. It sucks to be a nerd. And, it sucks to be overweight. It sucks to be a minority. It sucks to be a woman. It sucks to have a disability. It sucks to be poor. Humans are awful to one another in so many ways.

Sometimes, it's worth considering whether we should say what we're thinking...not because we want to be politically correct. But, because sometimes the things we say can contribute to maintaining a culture of oppression, and if we are decent human beings we prefer not to contribute to empowering oppression with the weight of numbers. And, if we are striving to be more than merely decent, we'll spend some time trying to stamp out those internalized oppressions that make it hard to see when we're being assholes to our fellow human beings.
These storage pods (http://www.45drives.com/products/direct-wired-standard.php) hold 180TB if you populate them with 4TB drives. 20 PB / 180 TB ~= 111. With some redundancy, you could round up to 200 pods.

Now you host these in various datacentres around the world. Maybe one rack per data centre so approx 20 datacentres. This will be manageable, sort of like managing a small cluster. You'll have plenty of cheap bandwidth and excellent reliability/availability. Datacentres may be able to donate space or bandwidth to the project for the positive publicity, etc.

Relying on USB drives hanging off of consumer's laptops connected over wifi is going to have dismal reliability/availability, poor bandwidth, etc, so to compensate you'll need a colossal amount of redundancy (5-10x? more?) for it to even function.

From an end user's point of view, I think my donation of $100 toward the above storage pod approach would go a lot further than me buying a $100 USB drive and managing a low quality bandwidth capped contribution.

Note the "if you pin them" part. Pin in this context means you have the identity of the specific certificate stored on your client, and so you are not depending on whether or not it is being declared by some CA to be be valid for the server in question. Instead you are expecting that exact certificate.

That it is a private cert does not make it any more secure, but pinning is more secure, and with a pinned cert, having the cert signed by a CA gives no additional security.
Should I launch my startup as a side project or leave my job ?
No, those are chilling effects due to uncertainty about the stance of the moderating staff because they side with an increasingly smaller and louder minority. Read Larry Lessig's book about the outsized threat of campaign contributions beyond the actual contribution budget. Or, read about the Panopticon prison model or behavioral studies of the psychology of loss avoidance.

There are all kinds of peaceful forums that have this problem and Metafilter is just a prominent example. The thread you linked is interesting but not outstanding for a web forum, and the cost of it is probably several threads that a healthier community would have made.

This is hard for you to see because you probably read about new people entering these communities and praising them for closely fitting their preferences. What you don't see is how many people leave, don't join or reduce participation.

But again, these are common forum issues. The owner of Metafilter has managed the situation pretty well and especially over sixteen years. I'm sure the personal attention to the community by Metafilter staff is a big reason why it's as similar to its old self as it is.

Making your Angular.js application accessible
Actually CSS is a special purpose scripting language for manipulating stylesheets of structured documents such as HTML & XML.

It's also rumored to be Turing complete and the W3C's CSS working group is the one that's slowing down the progress of CSS into a full blown scripting language for performance reasons (Fast vs Full debate)

However, this doesn't mean that you can't reinterpret "Separation of Concerns" or subscribe to this notion of "Separation of Technologies" and that modules should be self-sufficient.

You can say and do whatever you want but I'm sticking with placing all my style info in CSS files and exploring exhaustively all the possibilities this quirky language provides to manipulate the layout/formatting/styling aspects of my web apps/pages.
While i do agree with some of the negative comments here regarding the lack of market research, i also gotta say: the questions (Eclipse, Xcode) seem rather... well, off.
> Are we talking about louder, more insistent voices, further down the spectrum of voices in head? I guess my question is --- 'Who doesn't have voices?' and what's wrong with them?

Do they interfere with your day to day living? Do they cause you distress? Do they ever tell you to harm yourself or other people?

There's a few possibilities.

People with an OCD can experience very distressing, intrusive thoughts. There are no reported instances of someone with an OCD acting on those thoughts. The risk to other people or the person comes from the protective measures the person takes. Someone who has a germophobia may restrict themselves from day to day life and wash their hands frequently with bleach. A mother with post-natal OCD may have thoughts like "just throw baby out of the window". She will reduce contact with her child to protect the child. But no woman has ever acted on the thoughts of an OCD; no mother with OCD has ever thrown their child out of a window.

People with an OCD recognise their thoughts as thougts.

People with a psychosis style illness may hear voices - have auditory hallucinations. Violence as a result of a psychosis style illness is rare, but possible. A person hearing non-distressing voices may want to learn how to contact mental health services just in case the voices turn distressing. A person experiencing distressing voices should probably contact mental health services.

EliRiver and ripter describe nicely the difference between thoughts and voices.

There are a few things that can cause auditory hallucinations and not all of them are mental illness.
7 CRM Alternatives That Won’t Break the Bank
> Earnest question: Have you used a monoid?

Yes. I have two explicit monoids in the production codebase I'm working on professionally right now. The simple case is one where I use foldMap to put together some values in a list. In isolation it's only saving a few lines compared to an explicit summing loop - but if you can "replace a few lines with a single method call" in a lot of places in your code, you end up with much more readable/maintainable code.

The other is more complex but also shows the power a bit more: a report that wants to accumulate some statistics separately (something like "12 successful, 45 error A, 2 error B"). So I have a type representing that:

case class Stats(successful: Int, errorA: Int, errorB: Int)

I use https://github.com/typelevel/shapeless-contrib to automatically derive a Monoid instance for this type.

And then I can use this type with the Writer monad: http://eed3si9n.com/learning-scalaz/Writer.html

So with very little code, my report steps all include a "stats for this step", and they automatically accumulate into an overall stats object. Of course this is nothing I couldn't have written myself, but the library methods already exist and help.

More importantly though, I have another report that uses the same infrastructure, but makes async HTTP calls. So that report uses Future. But I can share common code between the two reports easily, because my abstract superclass is just `Report[F[_]: Monad]`.

I think they are happening, slowly but surely. Five years ago I wouldn't have dared suggest explicitly using Monad in production code. Two years ago we used one single Monad across our whole application, and even that was controversial. Now our codebase has more than I care to count.
As someone who applied and interviewed, I can say that their acting as if they have not read the application is really frustrating (even if they have). We are in a market that is fairly complex and so their questions would have been considered silly to anyone who is knowledgeable in the topic area.

I just expected to have a real conversation in the interview about what we do, but I suspect that that's not entirely what the interview is for.

In that context, it may be that they are more likely scoping out our personalities etc and not necessarily trying to get the details about the business.
Without knowing any specific details, I can still answer that: because both allergies and personality are not (completely) dependent on nature, but to some extent on nurture.
I can still see it.

How to Profit from the Internet [FREE]
I'll make some idle musings tangential from the main point.

The instantiation of abstract concepts in computer hardware leads to complications. The access time for x and y can vary, as can the power use, or who gets charged for measuring it. I can think of an augmented f(x) which includes some those measurables as part of the public interface, but then the result would be probabilistic, and would need to exclude functions which can measure exactly where each object is located.

It might possible to encode multiple values at the same location, eg, via quantum spin states, so treat "location" as more than a position in space-time. At the end though, this says that an object's composition and location in space-time is the only "public interface". All else is artificial.

Copyright law is one of these artificial distinctions. If you have a movie on your computer, and I have one on mine, my copy might be in violation of copyright law. A duplicated movie can lead to harm, even though the public interfaces for both give identical results.

1. I strongly disagree that it is not outstanding.

2. There are going to be "chilling effects" (read: norms) in any community. It is inevitable that like-minded people will stick with each other. The question is how these effects manifest themselves. The MeFi model is community enforcement and moderation: "uh, that's not really OK to say". The Reddit model is outright mockery, threats, ganging up, and disturbing PMs. Show me a community that a) accepts widely opposing viewpoints, while b) keeping the discussion pleasant and respectful. Personally, I'm done with the Reddit model.

There are different forms of schizophrenia, such as paranoid schizophrenia, catatonic schizophrenia and hebephrenic schizophrenia, in which some or most of the symptoms associated with schizophrenia are not present.

Paranoid schizophrenia is most well-known, and is associated with delusions (such as GP comment outlined).

Schizophrenia in general is associated with severe anxiety and depression, explaining your friends' experiences.

Note that I'm not even close to the remotest possible thing to a doctor, and have no special insight - most of my 'knowledge' about schizophrenia should be treated with caution at best.

> Also not an appropriate question to ask

It was an appropriate question. This was not a technical interview, it was an interview for a job with a VC firm.

Someone in VC generally needs to have an outgoing personality and good "people skills". Ease of making friends in a new city could be quite indicative of what the VC firm is looking for in a new associate.

I, personally, don't want many friends. I relate more with Dr. Weaver in MIB, i.e. "I hate the living". But I'll never be interviewing for a VC job.
