>Most of the rich grow wealthy because of modesty, thrift and prudence. They live happily in starter homes. They don’t subsidize irresponsible adult children. They have an allergy to luxury automobiles.

It's weird that this guy is part of "the rich".

It seems to me more fitting to classify him as the middle class, not the post-war middle class but the pre-war middle class, the MDs and other educated professionals.

In terms of wealth he's not THAT much distant from the working class and definitely not closer to the billionaire tycoons or even the CEOs. He's basically working class except that he could afford a nicer car, a nicer house, a vacation or two and an early retirement provided he doesn't go crazy with his spending.

To think of this guy as having a social status comparable to that of literal captains of industry is just insane.
As a piece of performance art, they are polar opposites.

One is a craftsmanship project hand built according to some peculiar rules (pre 1970s tech when possible, etc) and methodically designed to optimize performance and then tested to verify that performance.

The $30 amazon mass produced amp ships with a 1.5 amp power supply that was restickered to 2 amps (hope your fire insurance is paid up) and can't provide marketed power with the supply as provided anyway depending on speaker impedance connected and no one has any detailed performance stats so who knows how well it compares in all the parameters that matter. Also it runs about 1/10th the power of the tube amp. Finally it is a class D amp but the chip mfgr went all closed source on making a "special" D that got patented as "T", the "T" designator is merely marketing. Its a relatively early class D amp, I would assume modern class D amps would outperform it.

Note that both amps are antique in their own way, one is a "70s amp" and the other is a "turn of the century amp".

As a piece of art, one is roughly a highly talented semi-pro artist classic inspired painting, and the other is a walmart poster copy of a "Dale Earnhardt on black velvet" memorial mass produced kitsch, should be pretty obvious which is which.

David’s Health Tech Weekly #48 – trusting algorithms, a smart necklace, + more
Actually, I only like 20th century music or newer for the most part. I think our local orchestras and chamber ensembles do a pretty good job of including new music. There are also new music ensembles here. More would be good for my tastes, but it's enough to satisfy my interests. I just don't think I'd go to a new music concert every week even if I did live in NYC.

I guess the email was supposed to be a way of "raising awareness" about the issue.
To add one additional point of why not to do this. As a hiring manager it could potentially highlight that you are seeking the wrong things and will jump ship at the first sign of a better offer. And if there was indication (by dates or other means) that you used it to gain a higher counter offer from an existing employer it would likely leave a negative impression.

Every employer (especially in tech) knows this stuff happens, but highlighting it and "bragging" about it is not favorable.

There is a way to use the information though, when discussing with an employer about what your salary requirements are, you can state well, I had an offer from XYZ for 123 recently. And then explain why it just didn't meet your needs, e.g. you learned at the interview it wasn't a good fit or whatever. Just be humble about it and that will go a long way. This also lets you kind of answer a question without really answering it. e.g. make them put a number on you.

Ajax doesn't go wrong.

Except when it does. Did you miss the bug report I linked, in which it went wrong in one way when Firefox sent something as two separate packets, which caused IIS's HTTP implementation to break, and then when that was fixed the fix caused other regressions:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=137155

And this is only one of many such bugs; I've seen others in practice as well. It requires no special use of JavaScript to hit such bugs; just an unfortunate interaction between the particular browser and back-end server, of which there are many possible combinations, especially when you add transparent proxies into the mix.

By the way, when I'm looking for a frontend developer, I'm also not looking for someone to do the very most basic CRUD app plus some JavaScript for interactivity. I'm looking for someone to be able to do a rich, desktop-style app that pushes the boundaries of what can be done with HTML5 video. This is an area where you will be running into browser bugs on a regular basis, and need to know when to stop trying to solve the problem yourself and push the bug report upstream to the browser vendors, and in order to be able to do that it helps to have a knowledge of what is going on at that level. For this application, we accept that we will only be running on the very latest releases of a few select browsers, until interoperable support for the kind of stuff that we're working on becomes more widespread.

That if they cannot demonstrate public good, the public may decide that they would rather not support the institution and said public subsidies.
This is zero-sum thinking of the basest sort.

If you've got the skills to be a really good software developer, you're just never going to go anywhere if you are stuck somewhere without electricity.

Or if you're a woman in a country that doesn't let women do stuff.

Or if you want to do fashion but live in rural Nebraska.

Or if you have the talent to be a world class skier but were born in the Bahamas.

There are all kinds of reasons to let people choose where they want to go themselves without you deciding where they can and can't go.

I have one of the original AIBOs. (Demand was so high they had a lottery to distribute them. Put in my order thinking I couldn't win the 1:13 chance, but did.)

After getting married, I stopped using it for a while (other preoccupations), leaving it sitting on the charger in the living room. We got a real puppy. After little Teddy settled in, I turned on the AIBO. O. M. G. Teddy freaked out. Pretty much the same reaction as if your chair just suddenly started wandering around the room by itself. AIBO promptly got shelved.

A lot of the "false complexity" in MtG comes from the wide variety of trivial differences between cards. Deckbuilding becomes an exercise in, depending on format, sifting through some 10,000 (probably more by now) cards to determine which are synergistic.

I wish they would strip out the trivially different cards, particularly the ones that are strictly better or worse than another, such as two identical cards but one has a higher cost for no reason.

Some of the cruft is due to rebalancing as the game evolved, but some is just part of the artificial scarcity model of making many of the common cards worse than the best rare ones.

I agree, though, that MtG has a very broad and creative tree of possibilities. In the pure board game world, it is perhaps more similar to Arimaa.
I've heard very good things about the Mio Link. It is already pretty small and I'm sure the technology could be miniaturised if subjected to Apple-size budgets. I think the battery life is bad though, only suitable for exercising not for continuous use, but again that could be because the technology isn't optimised to its full potential.

The Belgian case may be irrelevant, but more broadly it is very relevant - Google reduces their US tax burden in the same way.

The fact that corporate entities are able to shift their profits to places with favorable tax regimes mean that the calculations about the assumptions about increased tax receipts from business activity generated by publicly funded research are at least partially wrong.
And I imagine the fruits wouldn't be eaten as ripe as they are now - people prefer sweeter fruits, and they sweeten as they ripen. I prefer more sour and tart fruit, so I tend to prefer less ripened fruit.

Heh, clever name (and reason for it).
I'm guessing that's exactly what it is. I think some of the Snowden leaks showed NSA already has a bigger budget than CIA and is also growing that budget at a much faster rate. Their budgets probably increase by $10 million for every "cyber" word they say in their presentations to Congress. The CIA wants in on that action.

I hear the second point all the time and I can agree with it from my personal experience, but what would be a good way to "not care"? For me, when I know I'm interviewing with a company that I'm excited about, it seems a lot harder to actually "not care" about it than just saying it.

> you might want to [partially] work from home, but maybe from the same country.

I work for a company that would happily sponsor visas for the right people in the UK and US.

We would 100% want you in the office if we've brought you to the country. An occasional day to fix a boiler, fine... but you'd be in the office.

If you're not happy with that, it's OK... just say and we'll know not to go through the cost and effort of sponsoring a visa.

If we wanted remote workers, there would be no point going through the cost, time and effort to get a visa. That effort would be better expended on someone who would work from the office.
JavaEE has some truly terrible specs in it, particularly JSF and CDI. I also haven't seen a great deal of cohesiveness in the platform, e.g. when EE6 was released JSF's injection system only partially supported CDI (ViewScope for example wasn't supported) and there were other major problems such as unclear serialization requirements for JSF scopes breaking session management. I could also go on a long rant about JPA/Hibernate but that is an entire topic of it's own. Generally speaking I got the impression that each standard mostly worked on it's own with interoperability with other specs being a bit of an afterthought and that there was very little going on in terms of building an overarching, integrated, vision for the platform.

I ran away from JavaEE toward Dropwizard and found it a much more sane platform, and much faster without the extra baggage.
is it likely that these bots show as unique visitors to twitter? I don't know if the bots need to use unique ips or anything to not get caught.

Utilities stay up - water, electricity, internet. It is not a big deal. People work from home and understand this; those that must go to work arrive late and go home early, this is understood too. Just have a padded coat.
Some good points made, but the author ignores a lot of things about the state of undergraduate (and graduate, to a lesser extent) classrooms. Factors like rampant grade inflation and students with large varieties of extra needs mean that the professor's attention is hugely split between teaching and administration. I'm happy to go on record and say that I do not want our best minds wasting a lot of time with course admin, metrics, evaluations, and "collaborative digital learning". Maybe there is a good reason that the senior, storied profs want to distance themselves from these things.

The solution I see is to disincentivize the university for the large swaths of students (again both grad and undergrad) who have no business being there in the first place.
I'm not at all surprised about post-trial motions. What surprises me is attempting to introduce "fresh evidence" (as it is called in the article) in a post-trial motion immediately after their client is convicted.

In fact, some of these arguments are waived on appeal if not made in a post-trial motion.

What you're saying is accurate but it's not the point. They are basing their new argument on "fresh evidence". To be successful, an appeal must be based on a legal argument and not on new evidence.

Source: http://www.americanbar.org/groups/public_education/resources...

The appeals courts do not usually consider new witnesses or new evidence. Appeals in either civil or criminal cases are usually based on arguments that there were errors in the trial’s procedure or errors in the judge's interpretation of the law.
The article mentions USB attacks/exploits...but even more dangerous would be child pornography,at least in the US such a crime does not require intent (as automatic as it gets in a criminal context) simply being in possession or even constructive possession would lead to a conviction and a lifetime registration on the sexual offender list.

> To lose 3-5 pounds per week is crazy! That's 10800 - 18000 calories less than used per week. That's 1550 - 2570 calories less per day. A sedentary person needs somewhere between 2000 and 3000 calories per day. You were either eating half as much food than you needed or there is a more likely explanation.

Not only are my macros significantly skewed towards fats now, I am indeed consuming less calories (only 1000 cal/day of Ketochow) while still feeling satiated. My TDEE is ~2200 cal/day.
Well you just need to find a piece of hardware that acts as a USB host. The Raspberry Pi mentioned above would work, but you'd need a keyboard/screen or scripts to do it automatically. With the right hardware (even a rooted Android phone), you would be able to see the USB drive as just more removable storage just like your PC would.

Tutorial:

1) Have hardware that acts as a USB host

2) Work with the files just like you would on your PC

Is this really the case though? The British Empire expanded greatly and militarily under the rule of Queen Victoria. Her reign of expansion and utter dominance of the British Empire over the world is even called the Victorian Era. The Russian Empire expanded greatly under Catherine the Great. These are just two examples, and the article lists two more, but so many of the Queens, Empresses, and other female leaders in history engaged in war, like so many of the Kings, Emperors, and male leaders.

War will be unavoidable as long as people have something to fight over. The only times war has been avoided is when a country goes into deep isolation, has so much military power over its neighbors that they prefer to pay tribute rather than suffer through war, or if a country has deep economic ties to all its neighbors and as a result must remain neutral in any conflict.

Gender has nothing to do with it.

You've set up some bizarre distortion of what you're being asked to do, which is very simply "don't comment on a person's appearance unless you know that person well enough to do so (and almost certainly never if they're a work colleague).

The reason my interest is in "what they find interesting" is because so much of poetry is surprise. We rarely praise a poem that uses the words we expect right where we expect them, and ended up right where we thought it would. (aside: check your twitter mentions, please?)

It seems at least plausible to me that non-human agents could be Good For Poetry as long as we can clear a very specific hurdle. The hurdle is the fact that most people see art as something an artist--a human full of agency and intentionality--makes to communicate or share beauty. Obliquely, I think this definitional hurdle is a big part of why many struggle to find value in art produced from modernism on. I offered up this alternative definition of art (in the context of whether software can be art) in another thread a few weeks ago:

Art is something--a sort of significance--we experience, and not really something we make. When we say we're "making art", we're making an object or giving a performance that we hope will induce others to have the experience of art. In reality, "making art" is an interpretative process; art, like love, is an experience--not an object.

The point is that software most certainly induces people to have the art-experience, both intentionally and unintentionally. It's probably less common for source code to induce the art-experience (intentionally or not), but I suspect this too happens.

Maybe you could set up a python virtualenv and use 'pip freeze' to dump the exact versions of all the libs you use.
Then someone who wants to edit/render the notebook can 'pip install -r requirements.txt' to get an environment close to yours.

This still doesn't solve the problem that .ipynb format may not be stable, or that various python libs can introduce incompatibilities between versions but at least upgrading would be entirely under your control, and done at your pace.

Perhaps markdown with embedded code sections, or org-mode+org-babel would be a better long-term storage format, but I don't know if there are any tools that can round-trip to IPython notebooks, and you'd loose some of the interactivity.
For those wanting someone to bring this back, there seems to be a lot of projects on Kickstarter and Indiegogo relating to robots and AI. For instance, the famous one JIBO.[1] Actually, JIBO calls itself "the world's first family robot" which would not be true since Aibo was a family robot.

So personal robots are still being made.

While in terms of metrics bots might help Twitter's numbers look better I would say Twitter has a large incentive to do something about bots.

1. Bots degrade the experience for the regular user. The site feels less authentic with bots, and the quality of the content overall goes down. If you're trying to get eyes on Twitter, bot content does not help you.

2. Bots are not helpful when looking at your ad metrics. Bots are not actually viewing ads and are not interacting with them. If you're goal is to get actual eyeballs on ads, and showing those ads have impact then bots make your site look weaker.
Having one, methinks two factors applied (other than the real-dog incident I posted above) considering the $3000 price tag: self-recharging is a must, and it was hard to get a mental handle on what/why it was actually doing. Having to find it (after wandering for a couple hours), pick it up, and put it on the charger gets old; later models would return to the charger on its own, but by then interest had waned. Watching it frolic was amusing, but you'd get this odd sense that it was more deliberate than you could grasp - leaving you with a nagging "but what's it doing?" feeling.

Watching it look at a Christmas tree was hysterical though. Head would shake all around as it tried to parse the visual cues of an unexpectedly large number of small bright lights.
If the opposing side dumps new information on you right before trial (as frequently happens), it is your responsibility to make a motion that you be allowed additional time to review it.

If you made such a motion and the judge denied it, then that becomes the basis of an appeal in that the judge erred by not allowing the extra time. On the other hand, if you never made such an argument and then try to introduce new evidence in a post-trial motion or appeal, you will not be very successful.

My understanding has always been that the bombings were a "tech demo," but unlike your claim they were not designed to force Japan to surrender (which was already assumed).

Rather, they demonstrated not only this new capability of the United States, but perhaps more importantly they demonstrated the country's willingness to inflict massive civilian casualties in an ostentatious display of the capability.

Ultimately, the bombings were intended to frighten the entire world in submission, providing leverage that was used to construct the United States empire following the war.
I did not. The Cassandra schema appears similar. We had enough custom needs for how we aggregated data (e.g. ewma) that we probably needed to do this ourselves anyways.
