>I guess for the New York Times, regular hard rock climbing and bouldering is just not that exciting.

There are some standards for newsworthy topics. Regular rock climbing isn't newsworthy. You can't fault the New York Times for not covering every regular guy as he climbs a regular rock.
There also seem to be a number of U.S. cases enforcing unilateral reward offers as contracts; a theme seems to be that they intended to get other people to do work and those people reasonably relied on the offer and did the requested work (most often going out and finding a missing person or item).
Because science isn't about generating indisputable facts. If that's what you're doing, what you're doing isn't science. The epitome of good science is a predictive and well-supported theory like evolution.

Adding the word "just" implies a misunderstanding of how the scientific method works, because it doesn't get any better than a good theory.

He simply played chicken with an opponent that has a way bigger political/legal car.

And how is that not to do with money? Banks don't have political and legal clout from factors like posh parentage or celebrity, they have it from being very rich.
Amazon will delete spam reviews if they are reported. Reviewers and reviews get meta-reviewed, and poorly meta-reviewed reviews won't appear in the featured reviews for your book.

BUT that means you still need a critical mass of genuine reviewers who give your book positive reviews, and for technical books, sometimes that's hard to come by. One way to do this is to get lots of people reviewing your manuscript pre-publication. That has lots of other obvious benefits, too.

Reply to reviews, especially if a reader had difficulty with a code example and you can help them.
>Booking a slot will simply be a matter of taking a Post-It note with a time on it from the appointments board, anonymously and discreetly.

It will take less than an hour before some ass removes all the post-it notes. Sorry, but that system has too much fate in humans.
Isn't that why they have a did you find this review helpful button? That way bad reviews can be user flagged and given less weight. Of course that can be abused by spammers as well, so who knows how helpful it really is.

I wonder if Amazon has enough info to create a Googlesque filter bubble, so reviews are per user weighted to account for reviewer\user interest overlap.

While you are at it, why not also treat yourself to a look into the:

- 92% of split families where the mother (not the father) receives custody

- 63% longer prison sentences that men are given for committing the same crimes as women

- 76% percent of homeless who are male

- the disparity between workplace injury/death between the genders

- the vastly less federal medical funding that goes into men's health issues vs. women's health issues

- how the gender wage gap is eliminated when factoring in personal preference and number of hours worked

- who dies during war

- the requirements for men to vote vs. women (hint: what MUST men do when they turn 18?)

Or don't look into any of this - you'll get more Patreon bux if you stick with the "Man = Oppressor : Women = Perpetual Victim" narrative!
I was not aware that DF-9 had been kickstarted. In fact, I looked it up and can't find anything about that - the only games that Double Fine used kickstarter for was Broken Age and Massive Chalice.

What I seem to find is that the first two weeks of sale on Early Access sales paid for the investment [1], which may be what you are thinking about.

Anyway, I agree with your final point - in this model sales must pay for the salary of the team working on the project plus additional development costs, and that's much easier when you are a single indie developer. Double Fine seems to be too big for that.

I still maintain my position that, if you're paying to get in the alpha of a game, you should be prepared if it develops to be of a different genre of what you are expecting, if it focuses on different things, if it's cancelled, or if it's simply bad. You can get frustrated, sure, but not surprised.

You can easily detect that. If a person buys a lot of books and make a lot of 5 star or 1 star reviews, then returns them, that's clearly abuse and you ban them.
>Such a condition obviously does not exist on Earth, so this feature could not have arisen via environmental pressures, at least not directly.

Your premise does not justify your conclusion. Reword your final sentence to read: Such a condition obviously does not exist on Earth, so this feature could not have arisen on Earth via environmental pressures, at least not directly.
I work on this project under Bill Stone's company Stone Aerospace [1]. One of the projects, VALKYRIE [2], is a laser powered cryobot to melt through ice in order to launch a vehicle in the water underneath. ARTEMIS is the AUV for SIMPLE, and is the third generation following the AUVs DEPTHX & ENDURANCE. VALKYRIE has been field tested and ARTEMIS goes to Antarctica this fall.

Tad ironic seeing as one of the last sentences in the blog post is: "Hope this blog post stays up for some time." I hope the site is not down because his domain/hosting got "convinced" by the legal department of the bank.
Strangely both the cached version and the website only work for me if I hit Chrome's "stop loading" button while they load.

Actually, after revisiting my model below, I found that it's completely wrong.

In my model below I forgot to account for the mechanism that we sometimes shuffle, rather than reallocate. I've written a new model which can be found here: https://gist.github.com/orlp/439890748c6d55897ba5

The new model shows that the memory bound is indeed 5n/3, and amortized 3 moves per operation are needed in the worst case, compared to 2 moves per operation in perfect conditions.

Software Itself Is a Process, Not a Product
Just as the article says, I'd never heard of this. Looking at the example, the CSS seems rather unwieldy:

-ms-scroll-chaining: chained;
-ms-overflow-style: none;
-ms-content-zooming: zoom;
-ms-scroll-rails: none;
-ms-content-zoom-limit-min: 100%;
-ms-content-zoom-limit-max: 500%;
-ms-scroll-snap-type: proximity;
-ms-scroll-snap-points-x: snapList(100%, 200%, 300%, 400%, 500%);
-ms-overflow-style: none;

I don't really know if any of that stuff actually belongs in CSS as the majority of people see it (and `snapList` certainly doesn't feel like CSS to me).
Good thing that was just my .02, as indicated. Surely no one would down vote a personal opinion, clearly marked as such?
At which point does it become bad intrusion?

Is sharing ideas bad? Money? Offering, rather than being asked?

What about something like the concept of democracy. Or, since the intrinsic value of a concept may be difficult to understand, let's consider the US constitution. It likely cost quite a bit to produce in inflation adjusted dollars. What if they ask us for it, they seek it out themselves, or we give it to them?

I'm very confused. This is a very gray area with a fantastically slippery slope.

Ignoring the idiotic patriotism, that image is incorrect: Russia, China, and India have all placed landers on the moon.
In light of that recent article about computer-generated prose being in many cases indistinguishable from human-written, I'd say those fake reviews are likely written by a computer. Notice that they're mostly of the form "I didn't think I'd be interested in [TOPIC] but [TITLE] was really interesting and really helped me learn about [TOPIC]."

I wonder if they received help offers too. Shedding light on security holes is useful, but fixing them is even better.
I'm working on adding write support. The structure of the encrypted data in 1Password is kind of inconsistent, so it's not as simple as just updating fields in the JSON documents, but I don't think it should be that hard to make it writable.
A pet peeve: The author sets his story "many years ago at Zynga." "Many years ago" speaks to me of long years past; like, decades—surely at least a decade. But Zynga was founded relatively recently, in 2007. Why do people in the tech industry tend to talk about what is really a few years ago as if it were ancient eons past? Is the author simply so young that < 8 years seems like "many years" to him?

Sounds damning. But some of that is because women are not allowed in the places men are. So the cart before the horse.

Check out the reviews for the PHP book he mentions. Almost all of them are "verified purchase"! And the only negative review isn't one of them.

When the purchase price is so low, astroturfing with "verified purchase" reviews looks to be quite feasible.
Do those moons really have a flowing ocean under the icy surface or is it water trapped in rocks?

What if the adaption is just a side-effect of another adaptation? As in, if there is no difference between surviving at -80 C and absolute 0?

Besides, I don't exactly see a point in some intelligent creature creating these little buggers with the ability to survive basically anything, yet giving them no other purpose. It's the equivalent of creating a computer program that is in all ways perfect, yet does absolutely nothing.
Does anyone know of resources similar to the 1994 onward timeline they outline here, but with much much more detail?

Change the system or change your approach is the proposition. Even an Average Joe (myself included) can figure a work around. I try to limit low-level recruiter discussions. Prefer upfront conversations with the hiring execs.
I support the author and what the bank did is just absolutely wrong and outrageous, but I just want to clarify that this is not a freedom of speech issue. Freedom of speech refers to government restrictions on limiting the right to voice your opinion. The government wasn't involved and he didn't legally have to remove the tweet (but I would have removed the tweet as well if it threatened my job). I totally support the author, but this is not a freedom of speech problem. Sometimes we limit what we say because there can be negative consequences that have nothing to do with the government.

I recommend creating an anonymous Twitter account to remove negative pressure that can affect employment.
Isn't that the main issue? We can easily dismiss depression because everybody feels sad sometimes, we can easily dismiss burn-out as you just don't feel motivated, etc.
I think that Arrays are so ubiquitous and (usually) so fast that most devs reach to them by default unless there's a good reason not to. I can count on one hand the number of times a linked list has really truly been the correct solution to a programming problem I've faced.
How about writing high-quality responses to the bad reviews? I have seen this done by some authors and it usually stops the meaningless reviews, since each additional spam review only creates a new opportunity for the author to present their marketing perspective via comment.

If this were a novel, economically hostile and unsubstantiated feedback would be considered economic warfare.

That's an interesting thought. I'm pretty sure I could write up a nice grammar to chunk out "interesting" reviews of books. Instead of whining about my book getting buried by fake reviews, maybe I should chuck it and cache in on said reviews!
I don't think they care so much about people finding it, as they do all of the people who will try to build their own businesses around the API and then try to sue when the API changes.
It's worth pointing out that Microsoft primarily invented this for HTML5 Windows 8 apps (along with some interesting, if incredibly underbaked, JavaScript view libraries to go along with it). That is why the APIs here might seem like way-too-high-level abstractions - they were trying to encapsulate the UX features Windows 8 had, like scroll snapping within item grids.

It was nice, and necessary, to use there because it made it relatively easy to make HTML5 apps that looked and felt like a native counterpart on the same platform. I don't know if they would have fit in on the general web, but it was cool to see them take a crack at nicer touch scrolling in CSS.

Good point. If a small number of parties are selling such a bot service, it may be easier for Amazon to detect and block them at origin.
These ARE verified purchases. You can buy them and just have to pay the reviewer for the purchase (or set the ebook to free for a limited time and let the reviewers download/"buy" the ebook in this timeframe). However, the strategy is not sustainable: Most 5 star reviews get "not helpful" marks and the ranking honors the number of purchases as well. The ebooks in question already get newer 1 star ratings and will take a nosedive when no new fake reviews are coming in.
"this time"?

Most of the things i see the german court system do are completely fine, especially in comparison to the american one. I'm curious why you'd specify "this time".
The docs on their format were very useful, although the 1PasswordAnywhere was more useful when actually writing this. I also wish they'd switch over to their new file format everywhere, it's confusing to read all about the 1Password 4/5 file formats, and realize they aren't the one that's actually in use.

I also wish they documented the structure of their data after its decrypted. There are at least 3 different ways the data gets represented.

Though he didn't complain about the software itself, he complained about the way it's hosted. Different concerns. And in today's world, SourceForge is liked less than GitHub from what I've noticed.
Actually I'm starting to wonder if Apple isn't going after watch people at all. I wonder if perhaps they're instead trying to target rich members of the cell phone generation who've never really owned any watch and who've never had any aspirations towards ever owning an expensive mechanical watch. Basically trying to carve out a new niche of high end consumer electronics.
Without newer techs like Namecoin, is it even remotely possible to be anonymous? Is it even possible with Namecoin?

I pay for Namecheaps hidden DNS stuff so I don't get spammed with offers and whatnot, but I'm under no illusion that it means my information is private, private.
Branch protection is also available in the open source GitLab CE. We made git-annex an enterprise feature because it is one of the few things that came up more from larger organizations, smaller ones tend to use a shared Dropbox.
It's a "128 bits private key", what means it's assymetric. I fully expect it to be an RSA key, but even for ECC that's at least half the size of something that could be considered secure.

If you have a few minutes to report the issues with the Perl category to Amazon, they accept "catalog feedback" through their 24/7 live chat system.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/contact-us

#1: Ignore this section, skip to #2.

#2: From the dropdowns, select: "More order issues", "Give Amazon feedback", "Other feedback topic". In the text box, enter "Catalog feedback".

#3: Click "Chat".

It took me around five minutes to explain that several of the books in the top 100 were incorrectly listed in the Perl category, and they happily accepted the feedback.

Including a direct link to the Perl category helps them tremendously:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/bestsellers/books/6134005011

And I also included a link to the post above.

Edit: Tell them specifically which books, in which top 100 position, are in the wrong category, so that they know which ones aren't Perl.

That's a nice belief, but evidence shows people choose junk food because of availability, price, associated preparation time and a lack of nutritional education.

The further down the income ladder you go the more those factors come into play rather than the simplistic "it tastes good" conclusion.
Om has extra constructor syntax and functions for dealing with cursors; that's it. I get the initial perception that Om is "over-engineered" but it just isn't.
Streamlining Our Proposal Writing Process
Given that the testing requirements don't really cover anything about software development, I would say it's really more about preventing upstarts from getting a foothold and eventually growing to compete with the large consultoware corporations.

You say 'they want to' but you ignore that junk food is designed to amplify the superficially appealing qualities of the food without regard to the nutritive value.

Nobody 'wants' that. What they want is good tasting food that is also nutritious. That costs more.

Much like search engines combat black hat SEO, amazon and reviews systems can do the same.

It would not be to hard too for amazon. Use reviews that are a 'Verified Purchase' and highly 'helpful' reviews as a training/test set. Then machine learn a weighting to every review based on the (product, reviewer, other reviews, etc features...)

The outcome could actually hinder tactics like this for products that game the system much like how link farms hurt sites they were propping up when Google figured out how to stop sites from gaming a search engine.
I'm not saying anything like that at all. And I do not respect any argument that mentions the "monopoly on violence" bullcrap.

These people made their choices. They decided, of their own free will, to become involved in something they knew to be highly illegal. Everything that follows is their fault, and their fault alone. Saying that because these things are illegal means they have to resort to violence is to give them a free pass, and absolve them of their own responsibility.
